Unlocking Sustainable Growth for Service-Based Businesses: Insights from Michael WalshIn this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Michael Walsh, President and Founder of Walsh Business Growth Institute. Michael shares insights from over 30 years of helping service-based businesses scale successfully while keeping their people, purpose, and processes aligned. The discussion explores the stages where businesses typically plateau, the impact of AI and generational shifts, and how leaders can empower their teams to drive sustainable growth.Building People-First Growth SystemsMichael explains that most service-based companies hit growth ceilings around $2M, $5M, $10M, and $20M in revenue — not because of lack of opportunity, but because their structures can't keep up. As businesses scale, leaders often tighten control, adding more rules and oversight. Instead, sustainable growth requires empowerment — giving talented teams autonomy, clarity, and purpose.He emphasizes that today's workforce, especially Millennials and Gen Z, values trust, flexibility, and inclusion. Leaders must evolve from top-down management to coaching, mentorship, and development. Post-pandemic realities and rapid AI adoption have further transformed how businesses operate, making adaptability and people-first systems non-negotiable.Drawing from his new book, Freedom by Design, Michael outlines four behavioral pillars of successful growth: understanding individual strengths, building complementary teams, fostering supportive environments, and maintaining flexible structures. His approach helps leaders break through plateaus and rediscover the joy of business ownership by creating alignment between people, purpose, and performance.About Michael WalshMichael Walsh is the President and Founder of Walsh Business Growth Institute and author of Freedom by Design: The Established Business Owner's Guide to Grow, Make an Impact, and Find the Joy Again. With three decades of experience advising service-based organizations, Michael helps leaders navigate growth plateaus, empower their teams, and build businesses that thrive without burning out.About Walsh Business Growth InstituteThe Walsh Business Growth Institute helps established service-based companies overcome growth barriers through strengths-based strategy, leadership development, and structural optimization. Their customized programs empower business owners to scale intentionally, improve team performance, and create long-term operational freedom.

Because growth doesn't start when your circumstances change; it starts when you decide to trust yourself again.I'm sharing how self-doubt sneaks in even when things are working, what it really means to lead with confidence, and the small mindset shifts that help you rebuild trust in your decisions, your design, and your direction.In This Episode:The subtle ways self-doubt shows up in successful design businesses (and why you might not notice it)Why confidence — not strategy — is the foundation for sustainable growthHow to rebuild self-trust when you feel uncertain about your next stepThe difference between making decisions from fear vs. from leadershipHow to recognize when it's time to stop waiting for permission and start leading with clarityYou can have all the strategy, systems, and team support in the world — but if you don't trust yourself to make confident decisions, your business will always feel harder than it has to. Confidence is what turns chaos into clarity. It's what helps you lead your team, price your services, and make bold moves that actually move you forward.If you've been stuck in the cycle of second-guessing, this episode will remind you: you already have what it takes.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Mothered Business Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most overlooked seasons of entrepreneurship: the false calm that follows success. It's the moment where stability very subtly becomes stagnation, where you shift from leading to maintaining, and where your nervous system starts protecting what you've built instead of expanding into what's next.In this episode:Why “fine” is the silent killer of momentum in your businessHow to spot the energetic drift that precedes strategic decline and rekindle the hunger and passion for your businessThe neuroscience behind safety, success, and why your body resists expansion after growthHow feminine CEOs can evolve through stability instead of waiting for chaosMy personal process for staying in deep relationship with my business during seasons of easeThe next round of The Mothered Business Mastermind is beginning soon.

In this episode, psychologist and researcher Leila Ainge explores the quiet tension many women experience in business — the space between ambition and the pressure to be “good.” Drawing on findings from Good Girl Economics, her research collaboration with Nicky Denson-Elliott, Leila examines why conversations about profit, visibility, and ambition can feel uncomfortable for women, even in supportive entrepreneurial spaces.Listeners will hear how gendered expectations and internalised narratives shape pricing decisions, confidence, and self-presentation — and why women often soften their ambition in order to belong. Leila highlights the gap between what women say they value and how they behave in practice, revealing how context, impression management, and identity dynamics influence those choices.This episode explores:The cultural scripts that link likability with being underpaidWhy “being nice” can quietly undermine business growthHow impression management and belonging shape what women say (and don't say) about moneyThe emotional labour of performing goodness in businessHow psychological safety influences conversations about profit and successAnd as a bonus, listeners also get a first sneak preview of the two goal-setters joining Leila for Season 4 of Psychologically Speaking, where she follows real people working towards their 2026 goalsreferences and links Mazzei, L.

In this episode of Teacher Show Me the World, I sit down with Iuri Melo, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, author, and co-founder of SchoolPulse, a nationwide program that helps students, parents, and educators strengthen their mental and emotional well-being through daily encouragement, optimism, and practical mindset tools.What makes Iuri's approach so unique is how he brings learning outside the classroom. Through Adventure-Based Therapy, he uses real-world challenges—like those found in nature, teamwork, and personal goal-setting—to help students build confidence, resilience, and self-awareness. Much like travel, these experiences remind us that growth often happens when we step beyond our comfort zones.We talk about the power of connection, how to support students through life's struggles, and how simple, consistent messages of hope can truly change school culture.You'll hear:How Iuri turned tragedy into purpose through the creation of SchoolPulseWhat Adventure-Based Therapy looks like and why it worksStrategies for helping students (and teachers) strengthen emotional resilienceWhy meaningful experiences beyond the classroom—like travel or adventure—are vital for student growthHow a few kind words can change the course of a student's day, or even their lifeIuri's mission to “bless the human family” resonates deeply with educators who believe learning extends far beyond the walls of a classroom. His work is a reminder that when we nurture curiosity, courage, and compassion, we're helping students see their world—and themselves—differently.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Every strong supply chain starts with strong talent, and at Wayne State University, that's exactly what's being built. This episode takes listeners inside the General Motors and Wayne State Supply Chain Case Competition, where students from across the country step into real-world challenges and learn what it takes to lead the industry's future.The conversation opens with Lori Sisk from Wayne State University, who introduces the FAST Program (Future Advantage Supply Chain Training), a groundbreaking initiative designed to expose Detroit high school students to the world of supply chain management long before college.Lori explains how the program combines classroom learning with hands-on experience, allowing students to graduate with a certificate in supply chain and a clearer path toward college or immediate industry work. She's joined by two standout students from the program, Malik and Jeffrey, whose stories bring the program's impact to life.Jeffrey recalls how little he knew about supply chain before joining, but after a summer internship with WF Whelan, he found himself fascinated by the behind-the-scenes logistics that keep goods moving.Malik adds that what surprised him most was how many steps it takes to make something as simple as a roll of tissue. He says that getting hands-on at each stage gave him a new appreciation for the complexity and teamwork involved in manufacturing. Both now see supply chain not just as a career option, but as a field full of opportunity and purpose.Then comes Chris, a graduate of the Automotive Supply Chain Immersion Program (ASCIP), a 20-week course co-led by AIAG and Wayne State. For him, the program went far beyond the classroom. It provided him with direct access to industry leaders, real-world learning experiences, and a network of mentors who helped him view the supply chain from an entirely new perspective.The focus shifts to the General Motors and Wayne State Supply Chain Case Competition itself, with GM's Bill Hurles and Dave Leich. They recount how the program began in 2011, shortly after GM's bankruptcy, as a way to strengthen the industry's talent pipeline. What started as a small idea has now evolved into a global event, drawing universities from across North America, Mexico, and beyond. Student competitors Danielle Griffin and Daniel Kuzniar then share their perspective on tackling this year's case, focused on EV adapter sourcing for GM's Factory Zero. They explain how teamwork, diverse expertise, and late-night preparation sessions helped them stay composed under pressure.Finally, Lori Sisk and GM's Christina Meredith take listeners behind the scenes of organizing the event. From coordinating sponsors to creating an unforgettable Detroit experience, their shared goal is clear: showcase the city, connect students to industry, and grow the future of manufacturing talent.Themes discussed in this episode:The FAST Program's role in introducing Detroit high school students to real-world supply chain experienceThe role of Wayne State University in developing the next generation of supply chain professionalsHow partnerships between universities and industry leaders like GM strengthen the talent pipelineThe value of the AIAG–Wayne State Automotive Supply Chain Immersion Program in advancing professional growthHow case competitions prepare students to solve real industry challenges with creativity and collaborationHow industry-university partnerships help Detroit remain a global hub for supply chain education and manufacturing growthThe case competition's lasting impact on students, sponsors, and...
