Have you ever seen two people just missing the point together? It's weird to see a business and their client having two different conversations at the same time.  The client is frustrated but doesn't know the right jargon to describe what's happening, and the business owner is trying to solve the wrong problem, causing more frustration.  In this episode, Mike & Blaine discuss getting to the point in client conversations.Featured Beer: @AveryBrewingCo  @sawbackbreweryMike: Avery Brewing Co. - Tweak Imperial StoutBlaine: Sawback Brewing Co. - Double IPAThanks to our Beer Sponsors!

At the beginning of our careers, business cards were the staple of business. So was a Rolodex and a phone call. Like bread, milk and eggs, you got a desk, a phone number and a business card and boom, you were in business. With the world moving online in a much bigger way in the past few years, is there still room for old-school tactics? Mike & Blaine will dive into their roots in old tech through to the latest and greatest.Featured Beer: @HeavySeasBeer @burgeonbeerMike: Heavy Seas - The Red Eclipse Imperial Stout Blaine: Burgeon Beer Company - Dutchman's Pipe Imperial StoutThanks to our Beer Sponsors!

It was a good run. After almost two decades of growth and an explosion of crazy-good flavors, the craft brewing business is in decline. How could that be?

In this episode, Mike and Blaine speak about the unthinkable: the decline of the craft brewing industry.Thanks to our beer sponsors!

AI is here to stay, but we still have some thoughts about how it's being used.  The massive uptick in people using AI on a daily basis is an amazing phenomenon that needs to be paid attention to.  It is improving people's lives to the “nth” degree, but is it also making us lazy and uninspiring?  Tune into this episode where Mike & Blaine talk about some of the best and worst use cases for AI, and learn why Mike thinks most AI start-ups are unoriginal “copycat” apps.Thanks to our beer sponsors!

Sometimes, it's accidental, and sometimes, it's on purpose, but the strategy you choose for your product dictates how you introduce it to the market. The real difference between pull strategy and push strategy is that you can feel it. You feel the market pulling you in versus you pushing your message and product to anyone who will listen.  In this episode, Mike & Blaine dive into how companies get their product in front of consumers.Thanks to our beer sponsors!

For some time now, value pricing has been all the rage in many industries. So, we took a dive into the art of value pricing, where you are focused on the customer experience, not the costs associated with the sale.

It seems like wherever you look, there is an article or claim that the author knows a secret that you don't.  I don't know how many times we have clicked on an article holding so much promise and been disappointed.  Ugh, it's another clickbait headline!  Just before the podcast, we googled cash flow secrets and came up with millions of articles.  In this episode, Mike & Blaine ponder if there really are that many unknown secrets!Thanks to our beer sponsors!

It's that time of year when the internet overlords tell us what is going to happen in the New Year.  Don't be shocked!  They look surprisingly similar to last year's predictions.  The truth in the matter is we don't know, but we can make some pretty good guesses based on fact.

On the Saturday December 23, 2023 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we have look at some of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. First we meet Moe Berg, one forth of the Trans-Canada Highwaymen, a new band that consists of four of this country's best rock singer-songwriters,  Sloan's Chris Murphy, Odds' Craig Nothey and former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page.  The album, “Explosive Hits Vol. 1,” is covers of Canadian AM rock radio hits from the 1960s and 70's and it's super fun. Moe Berg and I talk about the new album, and then get into the spirit of the season as Moe talks about a Christmas song he wrote with the Pursuit of Happiness and a tune he loves so much, he has a plaque with the lyrics. “Furious Devotion” author Richard Balls joins me to talk about “Fairytale of New York,”  a song that is an Irish folk-style ballad and was written as a duet, with the Pogues' singer Shane MacGowan and Kristy MacColl as bickering former lovers on Christmas Eve. A song about their youthful hopes crushed by alcohol and drug addiction doesn't sound like a Christmas cracker, but in the UK it was the most-played Christmas song of the 21st century and re-enters the music charts every December. We'll also get to know Larry Weinstein, director of the documentary “Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas,” a musical documentary about the amazing story of a group of Jewish songwriters who wrote the soundtrack to Christmas, and we'll learn how the Cuban Missile Crisis inspired one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. Finally we wrap with Brent Butt, the star, writer and/or producer of TV shows such as “Corner Gas,” “Hiccups” and “Corner Gas Animated,” and the author of the best-selling thriller “Huge,” and home designer, television host and producer, best-selling author, sought-after public speaker, and host of her own special Tuscan getaways Debbie Travis on their favorite Christmas songs and stories.

We always talk about the businesses that grab headlines and get you excited, but we often overlook the ones that seem mundane or routine.  The truth is: that these businesses are the ones that tend to stand out to a trained eye.  They are more predictable and reliable.  In this episode, Mike & Blaine discuss what makes a boring business attractive.Thanks to our beer sponsors!

At the risk of making every business advisor in the world mad at us, “working ON your business, not just IN your business” is a worn-out cliche. Don't get it wrong, it's totally true; it's just that the phrase itself might be played out. In this episode, Mike & Blaine dissect the phrase and pass judgment on whether or not the phrase needs an update.Thanks to our beer sponsors!
