This has been a rough winter for the world, but especially in for one of Downtown Carlisle's newer business owners. Earlier this year, Civil Eyes'd Optical's building caught fire and is in the process of repairs and being able to open back up. So the DTSB gang of Phil George, Cassie Fourlas, and Cody Myers sat down with Michelle Delp to talk about her journey to get where she is today and how she's weathering the storm. There's a lot of good discussions about how it feels to not be grounded by the stability of a place to go and how she's navigated it by offering to take her work on the road right to the client's house! There's so much good stuff in here and all I know is that we all need to go to Boscov's after this!

NFL Players REACT To Maxx Crosby's Ban After Attacking Ravens' Owner
Protein in DietIf you've been to the grocery store lately, it is hard to miss the new diet fad — protein. It is being added to everything from milk to ramen to popcorn to cereal to sports drinks. Last week, Buffalo Wild Wings released a wing-flavored protein-filled espresso martini that they're calling "Espresso Proteini." But what does the science say about how much protein we actually need in our diets? Is this filling a nutritional need or is it just another food craze? The recently-revised food pyramid from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department emphasizes protein, as well as dairy, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables as the largest categories of our diet. Previously, protein was suggested in smaller portions. We'll start Thursday's "Sound of Ideas" by talking protein and other questions about a healthy diet. Guest:- Kristi Artz, M.D., Vice President & Christopher M. and Sara H. Connor Chair in Integrative Health, University Hospitals Connor Whole Health Geauga County Maple FestivalNext in the "Sound of Ideas," we'll switch from protein to another important food group — sugar, specifically maple syrup and the people who produce it. Geauga County is the top maple syrup producer in Ohio and is celebrating its 100th Maple Festival next month. Maple syrup is the focus of this installment of our food series, "The Menu," which is produced in collaboration with Cleveland Magazine, which has featured reporting on maple syrup production as well as the Geauga County Maple Festival. Guests:- Tim Cermak, Maple Syrup Farmer, Sugarbush Creek Farm- Marc Burr, Emcee & Board Member, Geauga County Maple Festival & Owner, Potti & Burr Funeral Homes

Red Apple Media Owner & Operator John Catsimatidis joins Sid live in-studio for his weekly Monday morning appearance to discuss the Oscars party held here last night at WABC Radio's studios, reacting to the movie he stars in, Marty Supreme, going “zero for nine” at the annual award show last night.

What does an agency actually sell when AI can produce the work? That's the question driving this conversation, and Brian Gerstner has a clear answer. In Episode 105 of the Digital Velocity Podcast, host Erik Martinez sits down with Brian Gerstner, President and Owner of White Label IQ, an agency that works exclusively with other agencies. With over 25 years in the marketing industry, Brian brings a uniquely front-row perspective on how AI is reshaping the agency model and what it actually takes to stay relevant when the tools that used to make agencies valuable are now widely accessible to everyone. The conversation centers on a fundamental shift: AI has raised the baseline for what "good" looks like across marketing, making ordinary, production-focused work insufficient. As Brian puts it, "AI's just going to beat the mediocrity out of all of us." The real competitive advantage, he argues, is no longer the ability to produce deliverables. It is the ability to orchestrate them through what he calls a Personalized Data Layer: a documented, structured knowledge base that captures brand positioning, ideal customer profiles, product details, proof points, and brand voice. Key themes covered in this episode include: • From tribal knowledge to documented scaffolding: Why relying on individuals to carry institutional knowledge is a structural risk, and how to replace it with a consistent, scalable system that survives personnel changes. • The MVP of a Personalized Data Layer: Brand positioning, ICPs with real personalities and pain points, detailed product and service descriptions, testimonials and case studies, and a defined brand voice including what words to use and what to avoid. • Why AI hasn't made work easier: "AI has not made anything easier. It's just made everything faster" — and that speed creates more volume, more threads to manage, and higher expectations across the board. • The risk of AI slop: Without a documented knowledge layer to constrain outputs, AI will always generate an answer, but it will be generic, inconsistent, and trust-eroding for audiences who can spot it. • Governance and accountability: How White Label IQ is implementing a matrix structure with pods and guilds, assigning document ownership, running 30-to-60-day verification cycles, and using EOS as a change management framework to hold leadership accountable. • The human layer as the new premium: "If anything, AI is the thing that's gonna make us human again" — as trust in digital content erodes, showing up in person and maintaining real relationships becomes the differentiator AI cannot replicate. While Brian's experience is rooted in the agency world, the implications extend to in-house marketing teams and brand leaders across industries, including direct-to-consumer businesses where audience trust, message consistency, and hyper-personalization are top priorities. As Erik notes, the average U.S. adult now receives over 8,000 messages per day, making the ability to reach and speak to a specific audience with precision not just valuable, but necessary. If you're a marketer, agency leader, or brand executive trying to figure out where to focus in an AI-saturated environment, this episode delivers a clear and practical answer: stop chasing tools and start documenting what makes your brand yours. As Brian says, "Without a backbone, you can't stand up." The strategic work of capturing your intellectual property, your positioning, your voice, your audience, is what will separate the agencies and brands that thrive in 2026 and beyond from those that get left behind producing generic output at scale.

And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society.

Free Live Training: How to Build a Predictable Demand System as an Independent ConsultantIf your pipeline has felt more like a guessing game than a system, this is where that changes.We're going inside the four tools that make it work in practice: the Owner mindset, the SDR mindset, the revenue plan, and the contact-to-client journey.Consultants leave this training realizing why their pipeline strategy is off, and knowing exactly what to do about it.Tuesday, March 17th | 10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET Live with Q&A. Register here: www.ICworkshop.info----------Many independent consultants believe scaling means building a team, hiring employees, and turning their business into something that looks a lot like the corporate life they left behind.But that assumption creates a ceiling.In this episode, Melisa breaks down the six strategic ways solo consultants can scale their businesses without hiring employees. If your goal is to stay independent, lean, and highly profitable, this conversation reframes what scaling actually looks like. You'll hear how scaling is less about adding more people and more about shifting how you think, price, position, and structure your business. Because the truth is, many consultants hit revenue plateaus not because they lack expertise, but because they're still operating like contractors instead of business owners.This episode walks you through the mindset shifts, structural decisions, and leverage strategies that allow an independent consultant to grow revenue and impact without increasing complexity or working more hours.What you will learn in this episode:[06:10] Why scaling starts with identity, and how thinking like a scaled business owner changes the decisions you make.[12:40] How to calculate your effective target rate, and why most consultants dramatically undervalue their time.[20:55] How productizing your expertise creates repeatable results and simplifies both delivery and sales.[25:30] What a leveraged demand engine looks like and how speaking, teaching, and thought leadership create inbound opportunities.[30:15] How to diversify revenue streams through referrals, partnerships, and intellectual property.[35:20] Why buying back your time is a scaling strategy, not a luxury.Tune into Episode 261 to learn six ways to scale your business without employees as a solo consultant.Full Show Notes: https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-261Mentioned ResourcesCompanion Resource: Check out Melisa's Business Brain Journal, https://www.growthatlas.solutions/pages/products-business-brain-journal Melisa's Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisalibermanMentioned in this Episode:Episode 014 – 6 Tools to Scale Your Consulting Business, https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-14/#more-1239 Episode 223 - Custom GPTs for Consultants: Scale Your Thinking, Not Just YourThe consultants landing clients right now are doing this.

In this episode of Superpowers for Good, Kurt Avery, the founder and president of Sawyer Products, shared how his company is addressing two of the world's deadliest problems: unsafe drinking water and mosquito-borne illnesses. With innovations rooted in simplicity, affordability, and durability, Sawyer is transforming villages, saving lives, and improving livelihoods.Kurt explained that their life-changing water filters originated from kidney dialysis technology. “If you can clean blood, you can clean water,” he said. The filters are small, portable, and capable of removing bacteria and other harmful contaminants, making any water source drinkable. “We don't care if the cows are pooping in it or not. We just don't care. We'll make it drinkable,” Kurt assured.Sawyer's filters have already improved life for over 40 million people worldwide, with a one-time investment of as little as $0.30 per person providing clean water for up to 10 years. “Within weeks, people aren't sick. Within months, they're starting to shut down medical clinics because there aren't enough sick people,” Kurt said, emphasizing the profound transformation that access to clean water creates.Beyond water, Sawyer's insect repellents, including a new clothing treatment, are making strides in fighting malaria. A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that using Sawyer's treated baby wraps reduced malaria rates in children under two by 57%. Kurt expressed optimism that this could climb to 90% with further development.What's most inspiring about Kurt's work is his commitment to reaching the people who need it most. Sawyer's products have been staples in disaster relief efforts worldwide, from earthquakes to hurricanes, where they provide immediate, life-saving access to clean water.As Kurt put it, “Half the world dies of mosquito bites or bad water. And I'm sitting there going, we've got the two solutions. Let's do this.”Sawyer is now at a pivotal moment, scaling its operations to help millions more. With their new tap filter technology and a goal to impact 40 million lives annually, Kurt and his team are inviting others to join their mission. “$0.30 a person. That's pretty good for 10 years,” Kurt said, highlighting the incredible value of their solutions.By leveraging innovative technology and a passion for doing good, Kurt Avery and Sawyer Products are demonstrating how business can create profound global impact.tl;dr:Kurt Avery shared how Sawyer Products provides life-saving clean water and mosquito repellent solutions worldwide.Sawyer's filters, derived from kidney dialysis technology, offer clean water for as little as $0.30 per person.Sawyer's insect repellents, including baby wraps, significantly reduce malaria in vulnerable populations.Kurt's bold “Why not?” mindset helped make Sawyer a leader in disaster relief and global health.Sawyer is scaling to impact 40 million lives annually, inviting others to support their mission.How to Develop Thinking Outside the Box As a SuperpowerKurt describes his superpower as the ability to think without boundaries, summarizing it with the mantra “Why not?” He explained, “I've never known where the box is,” attributing this mindset to his faith and belief in taking bold action. Kurt emphasized that once a solid plan is in place, there's no reason to hold back. “Why not do something to change the world?” he asked, encouraging others to embrace this fearless approach to problem-solving.When Iraq invaded Kuwait during the Gulf War, Kurt's company had just entered the sunscreen market. Despite hand-filling only 2,000 bottles per week, they boldly bid on a military contract requiring 200,000 bottles weekly. Against all odds, they secured the contract, scaled production, and delivered 6.2 million bottles. Their success hinged on Kurt's decision to send just two cases of their product to stores, meeting a critical contract requirement for commercial availability. When an inspector verified their status at a local store, the deal was sealed—a perfect example of Kurt's “Why not?” philosophy in action.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Adopt a “Why Not?” Mindset: Challenge assumptions and ask why something can't be done.Have a Solid Plan: Ensure your ideas are backed by thorough preparation and practical strategies.Take Calculated Risks: Trust your instincts and act boldly when opportunities arise.Embrace Failure as Part of Growth: Focus on learning from setbacks rather than fearing them.By following Kurt's example and advice, you can make thinking outside the box a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

“I actually call myself – lovingly – the angel of death because I was not an angel investor. Yeah, I destroyed businesses and, in the process, wiped myself out financially.” – Mike Michalowicz I believe that the message in Mike Michalowicz' book, Profit First is both elegantly simple and powerful I've adopted most of these strategies over the past 6 months and my business has already become more profitable, and my cash-flow management is clearer and smoother than ever before. This interview of Mike is going to follow two parallel paths. As a financial advisor YOU are a business owner AND you probably serve a lot of business owner clients. This interview will give you ideas to bring more value to your clients, and at the same time help you reflect on the profitability of your own business. Bill and Mike discuss: Profit First Mentality: Mike shared his personal story of financial reset, revealing how shifting your approach to “profit first” can change everything. Instead of waiting for profit at year-end, set it aside from every transaction – just like you pay yourself first in personal finance. Behavioral Hacks for Profitability: Discover the “small plates” strategy. Just as smaller dinner plates lead to smaller portions, breaking your income into dedicated accounts (profit, owner's compensation, taxes, OpEx) naturally guides prudent spending. Why Most Business Owners Struggle: Did you know 83% of small businesses are living paycheck to paycheck? The traditional formula – sales minus expenses equals profit – actually sets most up for failure. With Profit First, sales minus profit equals expenses, forcing you to run your business sustainably. Debt & Profit: Think you need to pay off debt before saving profit? Think again – profit is the muscle you need to build to sustainably pay down debt over time. Owner's Compensation vs. Profit: Mike Michalowicz clarified the crucial distinction: Owner's compensation is your salary for running the business. Profit is a bonus for taking the risk. Don't confuse or commingle these! Holistic Advising: Advisors, there's a massive opportunity in linking business and personal finances for your clients. Don't leave the business side to the accountant – address both for true financial independence. Commitment Devices: ! This is Powerful ! Setting up systems (like hiding your profit in a different bank account) creates “commitment devices” – behavioral nudges that help you stick to your plan, just like leaving your gym shoes on the toilet lid to get moving in the morning. Whether you're a solo advisor, own a small business, or even part of a larger firm, Profit First adapts. The sooner you start, the greater the impact.
On the latest episode of Running the Game, Rog sits down with Brentford owner Matthew Benham at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference to explore how data, culture, and smart decision-making transformed a small West London club into a Premier League contender. Benham explains how his background in statistical modeling and betting markets shaped Brentford's recruitment strategy, why the club focuses on collective decision-making instead of superstar managers, and how identifying inefficiencies in transfers and set pieces helped fuel their rise. He also reflects on Brentford's striker production line, the role of data versus scouting, and why football still has untapped analytical frontiers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
