Podcasts about owners

In this episode of Grow a Small Business host Troy Trewin interviews Kerry Boulton from Exit Strategy Group, who shares her incredible journey of buying a freight business doing $16M and growing it to $50M with the same 63 staff. Kerry reveals how she executed a strategic exit after seven years, then went on to build and sell multiple ventures. Now through The Exit Strategy Group, she mentors owners on being “always exit ready,” balancing business, financial, and personal goals. She discusses the power of systems, the Value Builder tool, and finding your “Alan Bond moment.” Kerry's story is a masterclass in scaling, cash flow, people, and creating true freedom.

Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Kerry Boulton, the hardest thing in growing a small business is managing cash flow. Growth eats up cash faster than most owners expect, and many don't realize how easily they can run into a squeeze. She says you've got to keep a constant eye on cash, plan ahead, and understand that scaling up often means funding gaps you need to prepare for. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Kerry shares that her favorite business book is “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she says gave her a rock-solid foundation for both business and life. She also loves “The Great Game of Business” by Jack Stack for teaching how to build financial literacy and an ownership mindset in your team. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? For podcasts and learning resources, Kerry highly recommends “Built to Sell Radio” by John Warrillow, which dives into making your business more valuable and sellable. She also likes “Business Lunch” with Roland Frasier & Ryan Deiss, plus the Exit Planning Institute's podcast. And of course, she's a fan of Troy's Grow Small Business Podcast, which she appeared on. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? When it comes to tools, Kerry swears by the Value Builder System, which helps owners see their business through a buyer's eyes, score it across key value drivers, and figure out exactly where to improve to maximize value and exit readiness. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If she could give herself advice on day one of starting out in business, Kerry laughs and says she'd simply tell herself to “buckle up,” because it's going to be a hell of a ride—full of challenges, personal growth, and ultimately the chance to create freedom and live life on her own terms.

The owners of the Mad Greek restaurant in Moscow, Idaho, publicly denied reports that Bryan Kohberger had ever dined at their establishment, despite earlier claims from anonymous former employees suggesting otherwise. In a statement posted to social media, the restaurant dismissed the allegations as false and stated that their staff had no record or recollection of Kohberger ever visiting. The denial came amid growing speculation about Kohberger's familiarity with the victims, two of whom had reportedly worked at the restaurant. The owners emphasized that they were cooperating with law enforcement and urged the public to avoid spreading misinformation. However, the flat denial stood in contrast to earlier credible claims from those who said they remembered seeing Kohberger there multiple times, raising questions about whether the denial was rooted in legal caution or public relations strategy.(commercial at 7:35)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho murders: Restaurant where two victims worked disputes report that Bryan Kohberger ate there | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

From half-pound, farm-to-table Angus burgers to jumbo wings and made-to-order guacamole, every dish is crafted with care.

They actively encourage honest feedback and use it to improve. Best Practices: Ask for reviews.** Don't be shy—remind happy customers to share their experiences online. Respond to feedback.** Thank reviewers and address concerns promptly. Monitor your reputation.** Use reviews as a tool for growth, not just validation. Actionable Advice: Make it easy.** Provide QR codes or links to your review pages. Highlight positive reviews.** Share them on social media and in your establishment. Learn from criticism.** Use constructive feedback to refine your offerings and service. 7. Creative Marketing and Community Outreach Standing Out Without a Big Budget Competing with corporate chains is tough, but Ballers uses grassroots marketing and community engagement to build their brand. Strategies That Work: Social media presence:** Regular updates, behind-the-scenes content, and engagement with local groups. Local partnerships:** Discounts for car wash customers, collaborations with nearby businesses. Podcast and word-of-mouth:** Leveraging local media and personal networks. Actionable Advice: Be authentic.** Share your story and your passion—people connect with real people. Get involved.** Sponsor local events, host watch parties, and support community causes. Offer incentives.** Discounts, specials, and loyalty programs encourage trial and repeat visits. 8. Balance Ambition with Realism Growth at the Right Pace Brittany's experience helped keep the menu focused, resisting the urge to add too many items too soon. This ensures quality and consistency, even as they plan for future growth. Actionable Advice: Start simple.** Perfect your core offerings before expanding. Scale thoughtfully.** Add new items or services only when you can maintain your standards. Stay true to your vision.** Don't chase trends that don't fit your brand or capabilities. 9. Prioritize Work-Life Balance and Team Wellbeing The Human Side of Hospitality Amar and Brittany work long hours, but they recognize the importance of eventually delegating and taking time for themselves. Their playful dynamic and mutual respect set a positive example for their team. Actionable Advice: Set boundaries.** Even in the early days, plan for rest and recovery. Build a strong team.** Invest in training and create opportunities for staff to grow. Celebrate together.** Recognize hard work and milestones as a team. 10. Never Underestimate the Power of Kindness Spreading Positivity, One Guest at a Time David Wall closes the episode with a reminder: small acts of kindness—holding a door, sharing a smile, or offering a friendly word—can transform a community. Ballers embodies this spirit, making every guest feel welcome and valued. Actionable Advice: Lead with empathy.** Treat every customer and team member with respect and care. Encourage positivity.** Create an environment where kindness is the norm. Give back.** Support local causes and look for ways to make a difference beyond your business.

From a chair that killed 60 people to a haunted doll that demands written apologies, these stolen and cursed artifacts have exacted terrible revenge on those who dared to take them — through death, illness, and supernatural torment that forced their terrified owners to return them with desperate warnings to others.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: It was Labor Day, 1980 when Cynthia Clements disappeared – it wouldn't be until more than a month later that her body would be found. And we still don't know who killed her. (The Unsolved Murder of Cynthia Clements) *** A harbinger of doom is a sign, a warning of bad things to come. A supernatural forerunner to disaster, you might say – which several do, in Canada. There, they are more than familiar with forerunners of disaster and have several examples they could point to from over the years. (Canada's Harbingers of Doom) *** Can you sue a schnauzer? Can you take a cat to court? Put a Terrier on trial? Can you arrest a mule for murder? You'd be surprised how many animals have been put on trial – and for what reasons! (Accused Critters In Court) *** Wilford Sweeten was found dead of food poisoning. Then across town, a pastor's wife was found dead of food poisoning as well. And that' when rumors already circulating in the small town of Ida, Illinois began to be confirmed – and the identities of the killers would shock people nationwide. (The Murdering Minister) *** It was probably said best by Old Time Radio's “The Shadow” when he said at the beginning of each episode, “The weed of crime bears bitter fruit… crime does not pay.” But true life criminals don't seem to be too concerned about that. Some thieves, however, did learn it the hard way – when they stole what turned out to be cursed relics… and paid the price for swiping them.
