Learn how human-centric AI is changing businesses by increasing productivity, improving customer service, and boosting employee satisfaction, all without replacing people.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene speaks with Mark Vange, CEO of Autom8ly, a company focused on human-centered AI solutions. Mark explains how his company is transforming business operations by using AI to enhance human work, making employees more productive instead of replacing them. From improving customer service in sectors like trucking and healthcare to enabling AI-supported marketing, Mark discusses how businesses can use AI to boost efficiency and profits while keeping the human touch.   Key Takeaways: → How collaborative AI can support businesses by enhancing employees' productivity. → The role of AI in automating everyday tasks like email marketing. → The importance of “confidence levels” in AI, balancing accuracy with real-world usability. → The challenge of keeping up with the rapid pace of technological advancements in AI while balancing human-scale adoption. → The value of entrepreneurial partners who can visualize cases in specific industries and collaborate with AI developers.   Mark Vange brings a vision for technology, manages international teams, and has extensive experience in cloud-based delivery of mobile and social products. He also has the knowledge of building and selling several companies. At age 10, Mark met and fell in love with the Apple II computer, which led him to set aside a promising career as a violinist and dive into business and technology. He sold his first program that same year, started his first company by age 13, and entered university with 25 employees and the year's top-selling video game under his belt. Since then, Mark has founded and sold multiple companies and has become a sought-after advisor and mentor.    Mark's first online success was VR-1, a company he helped grow into the world's largest publisher of Massively Multiplayer Games by creating a vision for MMO gaming, developing new communication protocols, and leading worldwide development efforts. Mark's most recent role was as Chief Technology Officer of Electronic Arts Interactive, which he joined through the acquisition of a company he co-founded, where he directed the development of EA's mobile, social, and online products and platforms.   Connect With Mark: Website LinkedIn   Learn more about your ad choices.

Special Guest: Joel Friedland https://www.britproperties.com Welcome back to another episode of the Podcast Profits Unleashed Podcast! I'm your host, Karen Roberts, and today's conversation is one I know will shift the way you think about investing, selling, and even the mistakes we've all made along the way. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Listening beats selling every time. Joel shares how learning to ask better questions (instead of pitching) changed the entire trajectory of his career. Vulnerability builds trust. By opening up about failures—including a period of deep depression after the 2008 crash—Joel shows the power of honesty in building long-term investor relationships. Debt-free investing is possible. Joel reveals how syndicating industrial real estate without banks or debt works and why it's a safer long-term play. Commercial real estate is more accessible than most people think. Minimum investments can start far lower than many assume, making it a viable option for more investors. Podcasting as credibility. We explore whether podcasting could be the trust-building platform Joel—and others in business—need to expand their investor network. In this episode, I sit down with Joel Friedland, a seasoned real estate investor with over 40 years of experience. Joel takes us back to 1981, when interest rates were a shocking 17% and he was just starting out in industrial real estate. What struck me most is how he owned up to the mistakes he made early in his career—talking more than listening, pitching instead of consulting—and how those lessons transformed the way he does business today. Joel walks us through his evolution from traditional broker to debt-free syndicator, sharing stories of working with family-run businesses, massive industrial clients, and investors who trusted him enough to join deals worth millions. What makes this episode truly powerful is Joel's candor about the challenges he's faced and the mindset shift that helped him rebuild stronger than ever. If you've ever thought, “I can't get into commercial real estate” or wondered how to truly connect with people in any business, this conversation will change your perspective.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes Capital Campaign Pro's Director of Engagement, Steven Shattuck, to explore how nonprofit organizations can approach artificial intelligence with confidence, strategy, and purpose. Whether you're skeptical of AI or eager to experiment, this conversation unpacks what it means to use AI responsibly while staying focused on relationships and results.Steven, author of Robots Make Bad Fundraisers, shares his perspective on how AI fits into modern nonprofit work: not as a replacement for the human element, but as a set of tools that can improve efficiency and free up time for the work that truly matters.Topics Covered in This Episode:How to assess your organization's needs before adopting any AI toolsWhy nonprofits often lag in tech adoption, and how to overcome those barriersThe importance of having an internal “tech champion” to evaluate and experiment with new toolsReal-world examples of AI helping with campaign planning, meeting prep, donor communication, and volunteer trainingWhy Capital Campaign Pro developed Andie, an AI tool trained specifically for capital campaign strategy, and how clients are using it to save hours of time each weekPractical safety reminders when using AI tools, including data privacy best practicesWhat tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and others are good at (and when to use each)Throughout the conversation, Amy and Steven emphasize that AI should never replace the strategic thinking and relationship-building at the heart of fundraising. Instead, it should support the work of nonprofit leaders, making it faster to draft documents, generate ideas, and prepare for donor interactions. From customizing gift agreements to training new staff or board members, AI is already making a difference for organizations of all sizes.Notable Highlights:“Donors give to outcomes—not organizations. AI can help us communicate those outcomes more clearly and more efficiently.”“You don't need to jump on every new tech trend, but ignoring AI altogether could cost you valuable time and energy.”“The first step is to check what you already have. Your CRM or other tools may already offer AI-powered features.”“Our clients aren't replacing advisors with AI—they're using AI between meetings to move faster and make better decisions.”Steven also reflects on the current moment in nonprofit tech: AI isn't a passing trend. It's a shift in how we work.Key Takeaways for Nonprofit Leaders:Start with your goals. Choose tools based on your actual pain points, not the latest trendLook for low-risk opportunities to experiment, like creating first drafts of agendas or donor lettersAssign someone - staff, volunteer, or board member - to lead your internal AI explorationTrain tools with trusted data and frameworks to get relevant, high-quality responsesBe mindful of privacy, especially when using free public AI toolsCollaborate with consultants and vendors who are tech-forward and actively integrating new toolsWhether you're running a $60 million campaign or just beginning to think about how to modernize your systems, this episode offers approachable, practical ideas to help you get started (or go deeper) with AI in your organization.Resources Mentioned:Capital Campaign Pro's online toolkit and Andie, the AI assistantSteven's book: Robots Make Bad FundraisersAI tools discussed: ChatGPT, Claude by Anthropic, PerplexityFree blog articles, webinars, and tools available at capitalcampaignpro.com

Ever feel like the little things are driving you crazy in your business or life? Chances are, you might be out of alignment with your true mission and calling. In this episode, I dive deep into how seemingly small annoyances signal misalignment, why growth without true alignment can sabotage everything, and the simple daily steps you can take to get back on track—personally and professionally.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:1. Small Annoyances Signal Big Problems: When the small things begin to irritate or frustrate you, take it as a warning sign that you're out of alignment with your purpose and direction. Addressing misalignment early prevents bigger, systemic issues in your business and personal life.2. Growth Without Alignment Is Destructive: Building success or scaling your business on a shaky, misaligned foundation only multiplies problems and disconnects you further from your mission. True fulfillment and impact start when you align your ambitions and actions with where you're genuinely called to go.3. Audit and Realign for Faith-Driven Purpose: Take 10 minutes to audit your business through the lens of alignment. Ask yourself if your mindset is rooted in faith, if your mission and message are clear and authentic, and if your methods truly honor God. Then, identify where you feel tension, pray for clarity, and focus on one strategic step at a time toward realignment.

In this insightful episode, Eric Charran, author of 'Have You Ever Had a Boss That?', delves into the complexities of navigating dysfunctional workplaces. With more than 25 years of experience in digital innovation and AI-driven solutions, Eric shares practical strategies for dealing with difficult bosses and enhancing personal effectiveness. Discover how to manage up, grow your manager, and succeed in challenging environments. "I wrote this book after experiencing and observing unhelpful behaviors in the workplace. Many employees feel these behaviors are directed at them personally, but often it's just a matter of leaders using the wrong tools in their toolbox." - Eric Charran Charran identifies the nine boss archetypes as:  The Surprised – The Deer-in-Headlights Boss who is caught off guard by issues, even when previously informed.  The Emergency Broadcaster – The Chicken Little Boss who believes every minor issue is a major crisis and panics frequently.  The Complainer – The Woe-is-Me Boss who constantly complains about problems without seeking solutions.  The Amnesiac – The Forgetful Leader who frequently forgets past discussions, decisions, and promises.  The Firefighter – The Crisis Junkie who thrives on managing crises, often creating emergencies to feel important.  The Order Taker – The Yes-Man (or Woman) who always agrees with superiors and avoids making independent decisions.  The Raw Nerve – The Overly Sensitive Boss who reacts emotionally to feedback and criticism, often taking things personally.  The Attack Sub – The Stealthy Saboteur who engages in undermining behaviors and indirect attacks on colleagues.  The LIFO (Last in, First Out) – The Fickle Manager who frequently changes priorities, often abandoning tasks or projects halfway through. Key Takeaways: -How do I identify my boss' archetype and how do I deal with it? -How do I know my worth and leverage it to become more valuable to my boss? -What is the Q-Tip Principal and how can it help me? -How can I manage up? -How can I survive in a dysfunctional workplace? #careeradvice #workplacetips #dysfunctionalworkplace #badleaders #horriblebosses #AI #workplaceculture #careergrowth #careerproblems #hatemyboss Connect with Eric Charran https://prbythebook.com/experts/eric-charran/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericcharran/ Connect with Manage Smarter and its hosts!!!! ·         Website: https://salesfuel.com/manage-smarter/ ·         LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/audreystrong/                                       ·         LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cleesmith/  TWITTER/X Audrey https://x.com/tallmediamaven Lee  https://x.com/cleesmith  Connect with SalesFuel ·         Website:  https://salesfuel.com/ ·         Twitter: https://x.com/SalesFuel ·         Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/salesfuel/   Learn more about your ad choices.

From reading the room to eliminating partial listening, John shares insights on why understanding personal and professional wins is as important as the deal itself. He reveals why active listening is a lost art, how group interviews can reveal a candidate's EQ, and why being fully present is the foundation for leadership and influence.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:47] EQ is not optional—it's a core characteristic of great sales leaders.[00:01:16] Understanding personal and professional wins is essential to influence without dictating[00:03:11] Active listening, note-taking, and reading the room set elite salespeople apart[00:04:00] Asking "How do you know?" reveals deeper self-awareness in interviews[00:05:12] Group interviews can uncover a seller's ability to assess multiple stakeholders[00:06:21] Reading the political landscape in the room helps tailor your message effectively[00:07:24] Distractions kill EQ—presence is the foundation of emotional intelligence.QUOTES[00:01:00] "A big part of every interaction as a leader is understanding personal and professional wins as much as what you're up to."[00:03:11] "Active listening is about showing you're engaged—taking notes, bringing insights back into the conversation.[00:04:00] "How are you doing?

Key Takeaways: Be disciplined with money: Like Exxon's example, managing cash wisely and planning investments with the long term in mind can lead to lasting success. Startups need smart strategies in tough times: In uncertain economies, controlling cash flow and growing at the right pace are key to survival. Test the market first: Before spending a lot, startups should make a simple version of their product to see if people actually want it. Stay clear and focused: Having a clear purpose helps guide business decisions and keeps the company on track toward its main goals.

We begin this week by looking at inflation indicators like CPI, PPI, and tariffs. We also examine the impact of AI on employment, stagnation in the housing market, shifting consumer behaviors, and migration-altering taxation, and explore how these factors intertwine and influence the broader economic landscape. Key Takeaways [00:16] - Inflation Insights: CPI, PPI, Tariffs, and AI [06:48] - History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes [13:29] - Alcohol, nicotine, and subsidy-reliant industries [19:04] - American housing/job mobility is stalling [22:33] - Taxation trends and their effects on migration View Transcript Links Roche: Tariffs can't be a dominant factor in the inflation debate, yet Goodbye, $165K Tech Jobs.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross sits down with Brayden Young, co-founder & CEO of Slash Experts and original co-founder of Sendoso, to break down what it takes to cut through the noise in B2B sales and marketing. Brayden reflects on his entrepreneurial journey, the evolution of go-to-market strategies for 2025 and beyond, and how AI is reshaping the landscape for marketers, founders, and sales teams. They dive into personal philosophies, balancing family with drive, using strategic gifting as a growth lever, and how connecting customers with prospects is transforming the sales cycle. If you're in the trenches of building or scaling a company, this episode is packed with invaluable lessons. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Human conversations > traditional sales decks: Connecting real customers with prospects accelerates trust and conversions. 2. Strategic gifting is about thoughtful timing, not splashy spend. Think: handwritten notes, trigger-based outreach, and lifecycle communications. 3. Reviews are great, but community-driven insights and live interactions are the future of software buying. 4. AI is shifting go-to-market: fewer people, more productivity. Understanding how to use AI is now table stakes. 5. Success is relative: It's not just revenue — it's freedom, fulfillment, and building something that lasts 6. Brayden's Personal Frameworks “Don't build in a silo” — Always validate with customers before building product. “Three People Rule” — The only people he calls for big advice: wife, mom, co-founder. “Suck It Up or Go for a Walk” — His motivational speeches with his wife. First-time employee comp tip: Pick a high milestone and negotiate for equity or secondaries if you hit it. Resources & Tools:

We don't tiptoe around culture. We don't apologize for conviction. We don't run from the furnace. We step in, shoulder to shoulder with the King.On today's C-Suite for Christ podcast, we talk about a man who lived it. Clayton Kershaw. Cy Young winner. World-class pitcher. But today, we celebrate something bigger than an arm. We celebrate a backbone.When the world told him to fit in, to fly the rainbow flag, to bow to comfort, Kershaw said, “No.” He didn't shout. He didn't rage. He wrote a Bible verse on his Pride-themed hat. Quiet defiance. Holy courage.The world mocked him. The critics lined up. The backlash was fierce. But he reminded a nation: JESUS IS STILL LORD. His is the only approval that matters.Brothers and sisters, what will you do when your moment of truth arrives? Will you wilt? Or will you stand?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth.Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10) Key Takeaways:10:50 - Isn't this rich? Isn't this all incredibly ironic? They want to bring sexual ideology into the stadium, but the moment someone brings in scripture, they call it offensive. They say, you're out of line. Now, let me be blunt here. So there's no ambiguity, so we're all on the same page. What they're really saying is that anything goes except Christianity. But guess what? There was also a groundswell of support. Christians across the country applauded him... But unlike certain publicity hounds in society today, Clayton wasn't looking for applause. He wasn't trying to be a culture warrior. He was just trying to be faithful. That's the mark of a true disciple. 22:39 - If you're more afraid of a hashtag than of hell, your priorities are way messed up. So many Christians are more afraid of what two people they've never met are going to say than spending eternity in hell. That stops now. And that starts with us.24:30 - Silence in the face of sin is complicity. Refusing to speak truth is refusing to love... You can't preach about grace and avoid judgment. You can't be a follower of Christ and refuse to carry His cross.Connect with Paul NeubergerWebsite

If your practice's collections aren't where they should be, it might not be because of fewer patients—it could be because your revenue is trapped in insurance company limbo. The truth? Without a rock-solid revenue cycle management (RCM) process, you're leaving money on the table… and adding stress to your team. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with Shreyas Parab, co-founder and CEO of Daydream, to explore how AI can revolutionize dental billing without removing the human expertise that keeps claims moving. Shreyas shares his unique perspective—shaped by growing up in his mother's small Medicaid dental practice—on why dental billing is a hidden bottleneck for many offices and how automating key steps can unlock both revenue and time. We break down what “human-in-the-loop” AI really means, how to verify insurance more efficiently, and why complete transparency in billing services is non-negotiable for cash flow health. We also dig into the broader role of AI in dentistry—what's working now, where the technology still falls short, and the untapped opportunities that could transform patient communication and education in the near future. Shreyas provides real-world examples of practices that have recovered hundreds of thousands in aged receivables by combining AI-driven workflows with experienced billers, and why this hybrid approach outperforms both in-house teams and traditional billing agencies. Whether you're currently outsourcing, doing billing in-house, or simply curious about what's possible, this conversation will give you the tools to evaluate your RCM strategy and future-proof your practice against the growing complexity of insurance reimbursement. Here are the interesting stuff we talked about in this episode: Automating bottlenecks works best with expert oversight. Pure AI isn't ready to replace billers—but it can triple their efficiency. Transparency is key. If you can't see exactly what's happening with your claims, you can't fix revenue leaks. Growth magnifies billing challenges. Expanding operatories, adding associates, or buying a new practice will strain in-house billing unless processes scale. Patient communication is an untapped AI opportunity. Future tools could educate patients before appointments, improving case acceptance and freeing up clinical time.   Key Takeaways 00:43 Introduction and Event Announcement 02:23 Meet Shreyas Parab: The Vision Behind Daydream 04:30 The Journey from Dental Practice to AI Solutions 05:59 Understanding the Burden of Dental Billing 07:45 The Role of AI in Automating Dental Billing 10:00 Why Automation Over Software Tools? 13:00 Human-AI Collaboration in Dental Billing 14:33 Services Offered by Daydream 15:46 AI-Driven Processes in Dental Billing 17:47 Pain Points with Traditional Billing Agencies 21:12 Identifying Candidates for Daydream's Services 23:22 Exploring AI's Impact on the Dental Industry 24:00 The Future of AI in Dentistry 28:44 AI's Role in Patient Education and Communication 30:38 Limitations of AI in Dental Practices 33:06 Understanding AI's Writing Patterns 38:19 Innovative Marketing Strategies in Dental Practices   — Connect with Shreyas Learn more about Daydream and schedule a demo at daydream.dental.   — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.

Kris is joined by longtime friend, business visionary, and rockstar early childhood leader Rachel Supalla. Rachel is the founder of Vision Tree, a TEDx speaker, and the author of The Playful Leader's Toolkit, a book packed with wisdom on leading with joy, grounding, and energy. With 10 schools across Montana and Utah, Rachel shares how she's scaled her business while embracing what she calls “ruby slipper leadership.” They talk about managing energy instead of time, why remote teams need tight leadership structures, and how playfulness is more than just dress-up — it's a strategy for productivity. Rachel also opens up about living with ADHD and how it shapes her leadership style, creativity, and drive.   Key Takeaways: [5:26] Rachel shares her evolution from center owner to coach and consultant, and how joining the Child Care Success Academy changed her career path.[6:36] She talks about scaling rapidly across three regions and how Vision Tree emerged as her consulting and leadership training brand.[9:05] Rachel loves lake life and is a proud mom of four kids and grandma to baby Zeke. [10:39] Fun fact: Rachel's trip with her grandma (who some thought was her sister) to Ireland at age 13, including a spontaneous solo in a pub, was an early clue that she'd someday take the stage.[12:46] Rachel explains how The Playful Leader's Toolkit came out of her ADHD-fueled trial-and-error experiences, and why she believes burnout is not a badge of honor. [14:12] Ruby slippers became a metaphor for grounding, confidence, and leadership clarity, especially in high-pressure seasons. Once you've got the right shoes on, you can do anything! [16:41] Managing energy (not just time) helps Rachel structure her day and lead effectively, especially as a neurodivergent leader. [20:24] She breaks down the “max of 10” rule for direct reports and why it protects leadership bandwidth across large teams.[24:34] Rachel gives a deep dive into her favorite systems: Playground, JotForm Enterprise, Teachable, and Zapier.[27:16] Playfulness isn't fluff — it's a mindset that supports innovation, brain-based leadership, and mental reset when teams are stressed.[32:03] Rachel walks through her M.A.G.I.C. framework, the five pillars of playful leadership. [35:40] Doing a TEDx Talk was terrifying and transformational; the unexpected outcome was a deeper conversation about ADHD and leadership. [39:15] Rachel shares her seasonal schedule, non-negotiables like football and summer in Montana, and the power of team infrastructure. [41:48] She teases her upcoming course, focused on helping women scale their culture without losing their soul.   Quotes: “I think that's probably where I learned the most about how to run a remote team, was being an employee for the Child Care Success Academy.” — Rachel [7:46]   “You go up the ladder in life when you're succeeding and you're accomplishing, and you get to this level of contribution, and that's the level that I feel like I'm at. And I want to give back. I want to help people do it faster, the right way, from my mistakes. So that's what inspired me to write my book.” — Rachel [13:46]   “That's when I'm most productive, when my energy is managed. It doesn't have anything to do with time. You can have time blocked. You can have all the time in the world. But if your energy sucks, you're not going to get anything done.” — Rachel [17:46]   “I think that's been the biggest thing, learning to manage my energy.” — Rachel [18:29]   “From the beginning, we have learned to automate, delegate, eliminate.” — Rachel [21:10]   “Play is not just, let's dress up and have a potluck. It's a mindset.”— Rachel [26:15]   “I am very passionate about this playful leadership concept. It's an idea. It's silly to some, it's weird to others, and it's powerful to others. And I really do think that if you embrace it, it's going to change the way we teach children, it's going to change the way we lead our companies, and it's going to make the world a more happy, innovative, creative place, which is what we're lacking right now, and so I am very passionate about that.” — Rachel [36:48]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal The Playful Leader's Toolkit  A Quest of Creative Culture Building with Rachel Supalla The power of play for better leadership | Rachel Supalla | TEDxParkland Vision Tree

This isn't just another episode… it's a milestone. Today we celebrate 100 episodes of conversations where faith, family, and identity intersect — and where God's truth and love meet in powerful ways. When The Bridge Between Us began, the goal was simple: ✅ Help one parent feel less alone. ✅ Give one family hope. ✅ Keep one heart connected to Jesus. God has done that — and so much more. In this special episode, Melinda looks back at key lessons learned from the past 100 conversations, honors the guests and listeners who have made this community what it is, and shares four powerful reminders for standing firm in God's truth while loving without fear. 4 Key Takeaways from 100 Episodes Never underestimate the power of listening. Testimonies build faith, compassion, and wisdom for how to pray for and love others well. Trust God's timing and ways. His methods are often unexpected but always purposeful. Grace and truth are not enemies. Both are essential for real transformation. We're not so different from those we're praying for. Healing starts with letting God minister to our own hearts. Daniel 11:32b — “But the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.” Reflection Challenge This week, take one intentional step to celebrate what God has done in your life on this journey. Grab a journal or note card and answer: How has God strengthened you along the way? How has He revealed Himself to you? What Scripture has He given you to stand on?

You're able to avoid these mistakes that I made and help you move faster in your own journey as an entrepreneur. So let's talk about mistake number one is thinking that I have to be diversified in every sales channel, possibly or possible out there. Okay. Number two is going to be hiring people without having like clearly defined roles and probably hiring people to just solve a problem without me actually understanding the problem and very clearly defining that role. Number three is going to be waiting too long to document the processes in my business. And then number four is hiring trying to hire people at the cheapest rate possible. And then number five is launching or creating me two products that aren't 100% original or unique. So those are going to be like the five big mistakes that I'd love to share with the audience today. Today I am excited. I have Chad Franzen in here of rise 25, who has done hundreds of interviews with successful entrepreneurs and CEOs. We have flipped the script and he will be interviewing me today.Chad 00:01:09  Yeah. You know, when I hear you list those mistakes, I think, like, I think most people would probably think along the same lines, that you were thinking maybe when you first started making those mistakes. So I think it'll be very, interesting and informative to hear some kind of your journey regarding these mistakes. Why don't we start with the first one? Having you felt like you had to diversify the business and communicate through all channels. Tell me, maybe what your thought process was going in and why. That seemed like a good idea at the time.Josh 00:01:36  With Amazon, we were selling physical products, right? And we had this great idea that's like, hey, let's diversify ourselves. Let's go create a Shopify site. And then, hey, there's also this good opportunity on on Etsy where people are selling these digital files. And so we had this genius idea at the time that was like, okay, so many people talk about how, you know, physical products, brands, you know, so much crap gets tied up in inventory that cash flow becomes a problem.Josh 00:02:08  So, yeah, I think it would be great if we did just digital products. Let's go dominate that on Etsy. And then let's open up our own Shopify site. We can maybe sell some of our physical products there, but let's really sell these digital products. And again, we did this all out of fear and running away from Amazon, which was which was working great for us. So we end up going in and we spend literally we spent the last those next three years from 2017 until 2020, we spent building out our our Shopify site, which honestly like I think the best day we had was like maybe like 1 or $200, which is just like laughable. as we looked at Amazon, we're making, you know, thousands of dollars a day there. so we spent three years working on Shopify. Then we're like, oh, we just need to figure out this external traffic thing and drive more traffic to our own Shopify site. So then we build a blog, and I have no experience building a blog.Josh 00:03:07  So we spend an entire year working on a blog, hiring people for this blog that's making no money. And for this website, our Shopify site that's making absolutely no money for us. And we just continue to double down in the wrong place. All of our time and energy is focused on Shopify building a blog, growing our Instagram account so that we can feed traffic. We believed our problem was just that we weren't getting enough traffic and man, we just spent thousands of dollars, thousands of hours, with not only Becca and I, but our entire team trying to build this thing that really never took got off the ground. And but Amazon continued to churn out more and more revenue for us because we would we would continue to dip our toe in there. It's like, all right, it's maybe time to launch a new product. We would do it, but we could have been much more aggressive.Chad 00:04:01  Another mistake that you mentioned that you made was you felt like you you hired people, but you didn't give them clearly defined roles.Chad 00:04:08  Kind of take me back and tell me what that looked like at the time.Josh 00:04:11  Yeah. So again, it's it's the whole mistake that we made with trying to diversify our income. Right. So this was 2019 okay. And in 2019 we had we were working with a business coach. and she was like, yeah, if you guys want to run faster, like you should probably if you want to grow more, you should go hire people. Well, here's the mistake. Just saying you should go hire people is not necessarily the right answer. You need to clearly know who should I hire? Why should I hire them? And how is this going to free up my time so that I can go do more revenue generating activities? But we didn't have like, clearly defined roles? That said, this is what needs to happen. These this is your day to day responsibilities, and this is what success looks like for you and your role. So instead, what we did is we obviously needed help finding external traffic to grow our Shopify site.Josh 00:05:06  Right? So what I did is I tried to hire away this problem that we had. And so we paid close to six figure salary for somebody to come in. That was our marketing manager, and ideas were just bouncing all over the place and nothing was ever, like really sticking. It's like, hey, we want to grow our revenue here on Shopify. And anything that we really tested out, like nothing really got the ball rolling there. And so we ended up letting that marketing manager go. You know, less than a y...
