Guest: Ben Chestnut, Former CEO and Co-Founder of MailchimpIf you find yourself selling your startup, then Mailchimp co-founder Ben Chestnut has some important advice for you: Get a dog. When Intuit bought Mailchimp in 2021 for $12 billion, the company asked Ben if he wanted to stay on as CEO, but he chose to “walk off into the sunset” and let the new owners take over. After that, he estimates it took 6 to 12 months before he stopped checking his email, social media, and calendar with the same level of stress a CEO might have. Adopting a dog, he discovered, forces you to “get OK with the voices in your head."“After the acquisition, that's all I do, I walk the dog,” Ben says. “And the dog was good therapy ... No judgments from a dog.”Chapters:(01:09) - Growing slow (03:06) - The long journey (07:48) - Is money a burden?

I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.----Check us out on:Website: https://neon.fund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/Twitter: https://x.com/TheNeonShowwConnect with Siddhartha on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siddharthaahluwalia/Twitter: https://x.com/siddharthaa7----This video is for informational purposes only.

He emphasizes the importance of hiring employees who align with core values, implementing clear processes that eliminate guesswork, and structuring an organization so leaders can delegate effectively. Brian's businesses have thrived through his focus on well-defined missions, building a strong team culture, and strategic leadership — allowing him to remove himself from day-to-day operations while still driving growth. In this episode of Systems Simplified, Adi Klevit talks with Brian Elias, the Chief Imagination Officer at Refloor, about building a scalable, self-sufficient company. He shares lessons from building his first company, how to systemize your business, and his first foray into sales.

You have found pockets of time to make a little extra money here and there. Now you are enjoying making the extra money and even are relying on it. This new stream of income is usually a little unconventional in the sense that it's not W2 work. Your family loves how flexible it is because you are still available for them and there's extra money. You are challenged by how flexible it is. You still have all of your previous responsibilities but now you the additional ones the new stream of income demands too. It's time for a “reorganizing of the company.” Just the Facts This is just the facts people, no one is debating that women do more house work than men. Men normally go to work for 8-10 hours and the rest of their time is considered to be leisure. How much leisure time do women claim to have? Women on the other hand (generally speaking) do the house work and take care of children or pets, doesn't leave much leisure time. And once you have a side hustle that is consistently bringing in money for your family, YOU have more responsibilities and almost no leisure time. This was mirrored in my childhood. Dad worked then golfed…a lot! And mom took care of the home, my sister and I, and she created a business in our basement. She was always working. As a business owner, which we established you are now, you are thinking about the daily operations of your business, ways to develop your business skill set, ways to grow the business, additional services or products you want to offer, and possibly being responsible for workers. Fire Yourself Let's revisit stage 1. Remember you didn't have a lot of extra money but you did have time? You were the one painting the walls or making the things you wanted. It may be time to evaluate all those tasks and hire someone to do them instead. Does it make sense for you to spend a day painting your walls OR would the time be better spent on your business because now you can afford to pay someone instead? Even if your family is counting on the money you bring in, could you do one more organizing job to pay to get that room painted? You spend more time in your business AND you get the room painted? It's the same thing with hiring a house keeper or book keeper. The Tradeoff There is always a trade off right? Either you spend time or money. I say spend your money on tasks that don't take you out of your business hours and instead use that time to get more experience in your business. In Home Planning Day, you can evaluate just the next 120 days. What do you want accomplished? How much will it cost? And who will do it? Then all you have to do is run that plan. It doesn't mean you are boujie because you hire someone in your home. The first hires I always recommend are a house keeper, book keeper, or an executive assistant. And my first hires were contractors for only like 5 hours a week. A. That person is likely grateful for the work. I was so thankful that people let me clean their homes so I could send my kids to private school. You could really be helping someone out. B. Hiring someone to do those tasks not associated with your business or the non CEO tasks reduces your task switching and increases your focus on your business. In stage 5, you are focusing on finding body doubles to give you more time to commit to overseeing your business and be more cognitively available for your family.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
What if understanding one simple framework could transform your marriage, improve communication, and make you a better leader in your business?That's what we're diving into today with Enneagram expert Christa Hardin—and for the first time ever, my wife, Sarah, is co-hosting with me.The Enneagram isn't just another personality test, it's a powerful tool that helps you understand how you and the people around you think, communicate, and handle challenges. Sarah and I have used it in our own marriage, and it's been a game-changer—not just at home, but in running a business and leading a team, too.In this episode, we're breaking down how different personality types handle stress, make decisions, and navigate conflict—insights that are just as valuable for your firm as they are for your marriage. Christa also shares what she's learned from working with couples and business owners, so you can avoid the common pitfalls that lead to frustration and disconnect.Whether you're running a business with your spouse, balancing marriage and entrepreneurship, or just want stronger relationships, this conversation is packed with insights you can start using today.3 of the biggest insights from Christa Hardin …#1.) How Your Enneagram Type Impacts Your Business & MarriageUnderstanding your Enneagram type can help you recognize your strengths and blind spots—not just in your relationships, but in your practice. Are you a natural risk-taker (Type 7) who jumps into business decisions too fast? Or a problem-solver (Type 6) who overanalyzes and struggles with decision fatigue? Knowing this can help you make more confident, intentional choices—both at work and at home.#2.) The 5-to-1 Rule for High-Stakes ConversationsWhether you're talking to a client about their financial future or having a tough conversation with your spouse, the way you communicate matters. Christa shares the 5-to-1 ratio—five positive interactions for every one piece of constructive feedback. Applying this in client meetings builds trust. Using it at home strengthens your marriage. Either way, it's a simple but powerful way to improve communication in every area of your life.#3.) Balancing Business & Marriage Takes StrategyMany financial advisors work with their spouse or have a partner who supports their growing business. The problem? Work and home life start blending together, leading to burnout, miscommunication, or resentment. Christa shares strategies for setting clear boundaries, prioritizing quality time, and making sure your marriage doesn't take a backseat to your business goals.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/107FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a free copy of Christa's book, "Enneagram in Marriage: Your Guide to Thriving Together in Your Unique Pairing" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "107" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
As subscription box business owners, we wear all the hats—marketing, customer service, tech, fulfillment—you name it, we do it. But trying to do everything can hold you back from growing your business. That's where hiring help–a Virtual Assistant (VA) or a Digital Marketing Assistant–comes in. If you've been thinking about hiring help but aren't sure where to start, this episode is for you! I sat down with Emily Reagan, who specializes in training smart women to provide digital marketing services to online business owners. Inside her Digital Marketing Assistant School, Emily teaches the core marketing skills businesses need, from SEO and blogging to email marketing and funnels and so much more. She also runs the Digital Marketers Workgroup, where experienced freelancers continue honing their skills. Emily brings online business owners' needs to her experienced freelance digital marketing assistants, often resulting in a match made in online business marketing heaven! I turned to Emily to hire my first VA who is still on my team many years later and has grown far beyond her original VA title and role. What is a Digital Marketing Assistant? You've probably heard the term Virtual Assistant (VA) before—it's a general term for anyone working remotely to help a business. A Digital Marketing Assistant is a specialized VA who focuses specifically on marketing tasks that drive growth for online businesses. A Digital Marketing Assistant can help with: Email marketing Social media management Blogging & SEO Funnels & automation Affiliate marketing Tech setup In short, they help you get more done in less time—so you can focus on growing your subscription box. If you're thinking: I'm not ready to hire someone yet, the truth is that by the time you feel ready, it's already too late. You don't have to hire a full-time employee. Start small! My first VA worked just 10 hours a week, and she got SO much done in that time. These team members often work faster and take things off your plate—especially those tasks you keep putting off. (I'm looking at you, tech stuff!) Instead of feeling overwhelmed and unproductive, focus on the things you love to do and those things that will move your business forward. And delegate the rest. Where do you even find a digital marketing assistant for your subscription box business? Emily makes it easy—just head to hireaunicorn.com and post a job. Up to 10 digital marketing assistants will reach out, and you can get on Zoom or Google Meets and have a conversation with the ones who seem to be the best fit. Sarah's tip: Personality matters. You want someone who's not only skilled but also a great fit for you and your business.
