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.

Il sollievo è in primis degli ostaggi e della popolazione di Gaza. Ma, a dire il vero, il mondo intero ha provato sollievo stamattina nell'apprendere dell'accordo di cessate il fuoco raggiunto tra Israele e Hamas.

Listener Dickson Mukisa from Uganda has been gazing up at the stars. But he's not making wishes. He wants to know whether we can harness their energy, in the same way we do with our OWN star – the sun. After all, they may seem small and twinkly to us, but each one is a gigantic flaming ball of energy, with a power outputs averaging around 40 quadrillion kilowatt-hours per year – EACH! With somewhere between 100 and 400 BILLION stars in our own galaxy alone, that's a lot of power! Can we get ‘solar power' from stars that are such a long way away from earth? And what might we use it for? Alex Lathbridge heads to the University College London Observatory, to peer through the eyepiece of an enormous telescope and see some stars for himself. Professor Steve Fossey explains just how much of the light energy of the stars reaches us on earth. In other words, how BRIGHT they are. Once the starlight reaches earth of course, we have to capture it. Could traditional solar panels do the job? Alex meets Professor Henry Snaith from the University of Oxford, to find out about the future of photovoltaic technology, and why it could all be heading out to space. Once in space, things start getting weird! What if we made an enormous fleet of solar panels, and put them all into orbit around a star, soaking up every last drop of that precious energy? That might sound like science fiction, but the idea has been around for decades. It's called a Dyson Sphere, or Dyson Swarm. Swedish researcher at the Insitute for Future Studies, Anders Sandberg explains how we might be able to build one around a neighbouring star... in around 10,000 years or so. But maybe it's not all about light. Finally, Alex explores the mysterious, invisible energy of the ‘solar wind', with Pekka Janhunen, Finnish physicist and inventor of the “E-Sail”, which might be able to harness the power of the stellar wind, too.

Bill Owens established Buffalo Bill's Brewery as the first brewpub in America since Prohibition on August 2, 1983. His book How to Build a Small Brewery (1993) opened the door to the brewpub movement and he kind of reinvented Pumpkin Ale. Owens sold Buffalo Bill's in 1994 continuing to publish American Brewer Magazine which he sold in 2001. Owens used the proceeds from the magazine's sale to photograph America and this journey planted the seeds for his next venture, the American Distilling Institute, and Distiller Magazine. ADI was established in 2003 as a professional membership organization and publishing house to promote the art of craft distilling. Artifacts from Buffalo Bill's Brew Pub were acquired by the Smithsonian Institute and sit alongside Owens' photographs previously collected by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and two National Endowment for the Arts grants. Bill's current book is The Delco Years, a dystopian novel of life after a pandemic kills everyone but people who drink unpasteurized beer. He is also working on his memoir and a book of his collected poetry...

Darcia Narvaez, PhD and Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) join us to explore various precepts of the indigenous worldview—aka the kinship worldview—how we might restore that worldview in both our personal lives and the world at large. We also explore the basis of what a worldview is and why our guests propose there are only two, the indigenous/kinship worldview and the dominant/Western worldview. We go in-depth on the historical rise and impact of the dominant worldview and the intergenerational cycle of trauma it propagates; the left brain / right brain dynamic and how it aligns with worldview, perception, and behavior; how generations of anthropocentrism impact our capacity to perceive our interconnection with nature and each other; a substantial dive into death, dying, grief, and ceremony; and what it means to become fully human. ...

Unless you've been living under a rock, the technician shortage is the hottest topic and challenge in our industry. My guest Cecil Bullard from The Insitute has a plan to solve the technician shortage. It involves a $20 increase in your labor rate and how that money gets distributed. Sounds too good to be true? Good! Cecil Bullard, President of the https://www.wearetheinstitute.com/ (Institute for Automotive Business Excellence). Listen to Cecil's previous episodes https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=Cecil+Bullard (HERE). Key Talking Points From Cecil's White Paper Recent surveys and articles in the industry point to the fact that 73% of shops need to hire one or more employees in the next 12 months and that for 85% of those, it would be a technician As much as 29% of the technicians are over 55 years old, and they are aging out of the industry Only 15% of our industry is under 35 while 29% is over 55 Every Automotive Service and Repair Business in North America will move their labor rate up $20 per hour tomorrow. We use $10 of this to increase the pay of every technician and/or mechanic working in our shops immediately.   We make it financially appealing to come into our industry by moving the wages up substantially.  If every shop (or 90% of the shops) do this, it would change our industry for the better dramatically.   We start new technicians that are learning at $25 to $35 an hour or $50K to $70K per year (a real living wage where they can support themselves and buy tools), and we pay veteran A-technicians $45 to $65 per hour or $90K to $130K. We take $5 of the increase and make sure we have a full benefits package.  Medical, vacation, dental, a reasonable amount of sick days, a good retirement plan, all national holidays off with pay, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, as well as anything that other professional jobs offer. We take the other $5 of the increase and join a non-profit organization that will market to the mothers and fathers out there (and potential technicians) and let them know that being a technician in a modern shop is a cool job, is financially viable and every bit as professional as becoming a lawyer, doctor, dentist, programmer or professor. Lastly, every shop owner books an appointment at a college, auto tech school, or high school and ‘volunteers' their time to talk to the students, teachers, and administrators about our incredible industry. https://www.wearetheinstitute.com/institute-summit (The Institute Summit) Connect with the Podcast: https://aftermarketradionetwork.com/ (Aftermarket Radio Network) http://youtube.com/carmcapriotto (Subscribe on YouTube) https://remarkableresults.biz/episodes (Visit us on the Web) https://www.facebook.com/RemarkableResultsPodcast (Follow on Facebook) https://remarkableresults.biz/insider/ (Become an Insider) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/carm (Buy me a coffee) https://remarkableresults.biz/books/ (Important Books) Check out today's partners: Set your sights on Las Vegas in 2022.

It's a scientific argument in a video interview with a biologist who studied the research on the link between abortion and breast cancer. But fewer people than normal will see or hear about it because according to the conservative Christian organization The Ruth Institute which produced it, YouTube censored it, removing it from its page. YouTube stated that it “does not allow content about abortion that contradicts expert consensus from local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO) and poses a serious risk of bodily harm or death.” But The Ruth Institute claims there's a "corrupt process... to create the 'illusion of scientific consensus." And since the Roe decision, YouTube has removed three episodes of RI's weekly podcast featuring the Insitute's president, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse. According to the Heritage Foundation, which chronicled a long list of examples, Big Tech companies have become the gatekeepers of information, as "a handful of Big Tech corporations - like Google, YouTube, Apple, Facebook (Meta), Twitter -now manipulate the flow of information in such an expansive way as to fundamentally reshape the public discourse." On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Dr. Morse talks about the content of the interviews that YouTube removed, and why conservative voices of Faith have become big targets for Big Tech.

As we close International Women's Month, this episode discusses the economic challenges and opportunities facing women all over the world. The economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic displaced millions of women from the global labour force and unraveled several decades of progress in closing economic gender gaps. Governments around the world will need to prioritize gender-based policymaking in the years ahead in order to regain this lost ground and achieve true gender equality. This episode takes a look at key elements of gender-based economic policymaking alongside two experts in the field, Dr. Sarah Kaplan and Sanchita Mitra. Our hosts, Ujunwa Ojemeni and Swathi Ramprasad interview these distinguished experts to get their perspectives on the main barriers to women's economic empowerment in both developed and developing countries. Our guests also provide an overview of some of the policies that governments can implement to help dismantle these barriers.  Dr. Sarah Kaplan is a Distinguished University Professor and the Director of the Insitute for Gender and the Economy at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. Her interview focuses on women working in the formal sectors of the global economy. She also discusses key gender policy themes like the wage gap, childcare, pay transparency, and feminist economic recovery policy.  Sanchita Mitra is the National Coordinator at SEWA Bharat. SEWA Bharat is a federation of women-led institutions providing economic and social support to women in the informal sector in India. Sanchita speaks with Swathi about the unique situation of women who work in informal sectors of the economy, and how SEWA has worked with its members to improve their access to government programs. She discusses the following topics: gender-based violence and safety, financial inclusion, community organizing, and advocacy.  This episode is hosted by Ujunwa Ojemeni and Swathi Ramprasad; produced by Grace Miner; and researched by Laeticia Kamel and Srinithya Nagarajan.

Lawsuit Against Wuhan Insitute of Virology Has Been Served

Host Dave Schlom visits with three members of the SETI Insitute based in Mountain View, California. Since its inception in the early 1980s, the institute has sought an answer to a fundamental question: are we alone in the Universe?

Julian Birkinshaw is a Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the London Business School. He has been on the faculty for 23 years, where he is also the Academic Director of the Insitute of Entrepreneurship and Private Capital. Birkinshaw is a Fellow of the British Academy, the Academy of Social Sciences, and the Academy of International Business. Birkinshaw is a recognized expert in innovation, entrepreneurship, and renewal in large corporations. He has written 15 books, including Fast/Forward and Becoming a Better Boss. He's also published over 90 articles in journals such as the Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, and the Strategic Management Journal. In this episode: As the demand for digital intensifies, companies are feeling pressure to quickly digitize every facet of their strategy. This begs the question: is the “transform or die” mentality the key to success? When it comes to digital transformation, how do you separate strategic need from hype and salesmanship? Professor Julian Birkinshaw, an expert in innovation, strategy, and entrepreneurship, is looking beyond the headlines and using data to drive insight and answer the question: “How digital do you really need to be?”  Although digital disruption is a phenomenon that everyone is talking about, Birkinshaw says that much of the change is concentrated in the technology, media, telecom, and retail industries. Analyzing data from Fortune 500 companies between the mid-90s, when the Internet first started to become a business phenomenon, and present day, Birkinshaw found that only 17 out of 500 companies are less than 25 years old. The other 483 have been in existence since 1995 — or much earlier. What exactly does that mean for your company in the era of digital?  Although the transformative mindset is top-of-mind with a focus on digital revolutionaries such as Amazon, Google, and Apple, there aren't as many fully digital companies as you'd think. Your company doesn't have to completely transform itself in the digital world, but you should learn to adapt to the demand.  Birkinshaw suggests that incumbents take a look at their industry and decide which strategy is best to adapt — whether that's waiting out the disruption, fighting back, consolidating, or reinventing yourself. Above all, Birkinshaw advises the following: “We must not lose sight of our identity and our core [values], and we should not allow ourselves to be taken away from what it is that's always made us successful.” Birkinshaw talks about this and more as he joins Thomas A. Stewart on The Leading Edge — a place where new ideas emerge and are sharpened, and where leaders look to find the edge that brings success for themselves, their teams, and their enterprises. In this episode of The Leading Edge, Thomas A. Stewart is joined by Julian Birkinshaw, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the London Business School, to talk about the truths of digitization. Birkinshaw breaks down the hype around digital disruption, shares stories of success and failure within digital transformation initiatives, and discusses the strategies established brands can use to become more agile in this fast-changing world.

At the origin of every single one of our patterns is a moment. Every interaction that you have where you feel triggered, where you enter into a pattern of behavior be it anger, anxiety, stress, fear has an origin outside of that moment.   The person or scenario triggering the pattern is merely acting as a mirror to help you work through and release that pattern.   In this week's episode of the FU Project podcast, I talk to Cedric Bertelli.
