In the second episode in our three part series titled: Focus. Build. Win, I sit down with James Derby, EVP of Merchant Facing Product at Payroc, to unpack how a core product strategy transformed scattered tools into a focused growth engine for partners and merchants. Instead of mastering dozens of third‑party options, the team picked a few products to go deep on, built vertical features that matter, and tightened the feedback loop from sales floor to roadmap.James walks through Roc Terminal+ for broad processing needs, Roc Giving for nonprofits, and Roc Services for field service teams, including a new scheduling component aimed at competing upmarket. The thread tying it all together is software-led sales: lead with the operational win and let payments follow. That shift brings faster deployments, better support, and real economics for ISOs and agents, with an 8–11% margin lift on new core placements and lower attrition as support improves. Owning the gateway and settlement stack gives Payroc the control to integrate acquisitions, standardize security, and ship features at speed without vendor drag.We also get into the commercialization playbook: building a business case with sales input, targeting underserved MCCs, choosing build vs. white label, and running disciplined pilots before GA. Post‑launch, James emphasizes data, not vibes - tracking adoption, revenue, support quality, and direct merchant feedback to keep product-market fit tight. Looking forward, tap to pay continues to rise, standalone terminals slowly recede, and consolidation among large processors creates room for agile teams that ship vertical SaaS with integrated payments.If you care about turning product focus into partner success, this conversation delivers practical detail you can use.

In this episode, Kelly Gillease, two-time CMO, daily meditator, and former search marketer turned executive leader, talks candidly about the inner game behind durable leadership. She traces her path from debating podiums to performance marketing at Hotwire, through scale-up chaos at NerdWallet and post-acquisition life at TripAdvisor/Viator—sharing how mindfulness, therapy, and a “true, kind, necessary” feedback filter helped her steady teams when everything felt on fire.Kelly opens up about a tough DEI misstep, how she took the feedback without getting defensive, and why she chose to “run toward” hard conversations instead of retreat. She gets tactical about cross-functional influence (and why debate training still matters), building reputations through appreciation rituals, and choosing environments that actually fit you, even when the shinier title says otherwise.In this conversation, you'll learn:- How to use “true, kind, necessary” to deliver (and receive) feedback that lands, and what to do when it doesn't- Practical rituals for team resilience: appreciations, mindful pacing, and calmly problem-solving without losing speed- How to pick the right work environment for your wiring. and navigate the politics, pacing, and trade-offs of big-co vs. startup lifeThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:47) Kelly's roots, early influences, and formative values(03:51) Where creativity meets ROI: loving both art and math(09:05) Thank you to our sponsor, Navattic(13:50) Scripts and mindsets for hard feedback and conflict(24:23) Owning a DEI misstep, pausing, and moving forward(29:22) Gratitude rituals at work and at home that build morale(39:58) Why big-company bureaucracy wasn't the right fit(44:20) Radical honesty, necessary conversations, real growthA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:Navattic: Interactive Product Demo Software - https://navattic.com/value Resources:Connect with Kelly: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellythepea/ Connect with Andrew:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcapland/ Substack: https://media.deliveringvalue.coHire Andrew as your coach: https://deliveringvalue.co/coachingJoin Growth OS: https://deliveringvalue.co/growth-operating-system

We have all been there. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. There was always an unspoken vision – never written but certainly desired. But things got in the way. The problem was that so many issues came up. There was never a quiet period when things could be thought out. There was never enough time to do it right. Then there was no time at all, and what we were doing was too little too late. How many business owners have you been aware of who have never derived full value out of their business? Some owners could not realize their business dreams because of a health issue or burning out. Some owners were forced out by other owners. Most owners fail to realize maximum value from their business simply because no one would buy their business for full value. These owners did not receive full or maximum value from their business because they did not plan, and then all of a sudden, what they were doing was too little too late. Having an owner agreement with buy-sell provisions protects the value of the interests of owners who cannot be involved in the full cycle of the business. Planning for the sale of a business for maximum value is the way to obtain maximum value for a business interest. But most businesses do not have written plans. Why? Business owners will tell you it is because they never had time to plan, but that is not the reason. You will not have time to plan if you continually do those tasks which are urgent but not important over those tasks that are important but not urgent. The business owner should prioritize time for creating a written strategy, implementing a plan from that strategy, and revising the plan as it is executed. Not doing that by prioritizing urgent but not important tasks that could be delegated is a form of procrastination – a fear of the difficult tasks involved in the important activity of planning. For a multiple-owner business, the values of the owners should be articulated one to the others and a strategy, like the Prior Diligence strategy, developed from those conversations. This is not easy, and it requires quality time for the owners to communicate. From this strategy, a plan of action through Dynamic Planning should be developed through group decision-making involving all elements of the business. This is also difficult, but it can be accomplished, and it becomes easier as a group decision-making policy becomes embedded in the business. Don't let the time thief steal your chance to get full value from your business. Learn how at the Owning a Business substack (https://rickriebesell.substack.com/welcome).

Episode 3339: Darrow Kirkpatrick challenges conventional retirement advice by showing how a taxable account, when optimized for capital gains and held by low-bracket retirees, can rival the performance of tax-free retirement accounts. His simulations reveal the surprising tax efficiency of these investments, emphasizing the importance of income smoothing and smart asset placement over simply following standard saving strategies. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.caniretireyet.com/surprising-contender-for-tax-efficient-retirement-saving/ Quotes to ponder: "One secret to successful retirement saving, in addition to getting started, is to avoid paying taxes, especially in high income tax brackets." "Owning capital-gains-generating securities as much as possible in your taxable accounts can pay off big-time over the long haul, especially if you live in the lower tax brackets." "While most taxable accounts can't outperform the average tax-free account, they do have one clear advantage: far fewer rules about what you can and can't do with your money!"

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Matt Thornhill, founder and CEO of Cozy Home Community and the advocacy movement Openly Gray. They discuss Matt's career journey from advertising to founding the Boomer Project and his insights into marketing to the 50+ demographic. Matt shares the inspiration behind Cozy Home Community, a middle-income housing solution for boomers, and the advocacy work of Openly Gray to combat ageism. The conversation highlights the importance of embracing aging positively and the innovative approaches to senior living.About MattBoomer Expert • Futurist • Founder of Openly Gray and Cozy Home CommunityMatt Thornhill is a nationally recognized expert on consumer behavior and the Boomer generation. After two decades in advertising on Madison Avenue and beyond, he founded a think tank devoted to understanding how Boomers are reshaping industries and society as they age.His insights have guided Fortune 500 companies and major organizations—from Google, Walmart, and AARP to State Farm, Wells Fargo, and the National Governors Association and have been featured on NBC, CBS, CNBC, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.Co-author of the acclaimed business book Boomer Consumer, Matt now leads Openly Gray, a nonprofit advocacy grouptackling ageism by inspiring older adults to embrace aging as a privilege, not a problem. He's also founder and CEO of Cozy Home Community, developing innovative housing for active older adults.Key TakeawaysBoomers have become the next generation of older adults. Ranging from age 61 to 79, next year the first boomers will turn 80. They are going to transform what it means to grow old.The 50+ market holds significant economic power, oftenignored by marketers. It takes lived experience to speak to the 50+ market. A 50 or 60-year-old advertising copywriter and art director know best how to talk to a 50- or 60-year-old consumer.Forty percent of boomers don't have a spouse or partner – 25 years ago it was 25 percent. Twenty-eight million people live alone. Being single means less income and social security and no caregiver in the home.

You've learned how Amazon works. You're sourcing, shipping, and seeing sales. Then out of nowhere, the growth stops. You're working hard but not progressing. In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy talk through what they call the stall - that stage where progress plateaus and motivation fades. They unpack why it happens, how to recognize it early, and what to do before it quietly kills your business. Robin shares two stories from her dad - one about a stubborn bloodhound and another about learning to take short-term pain over long-term frustration. Both reveal how comfort keeps you stuck. This episode blends tough love, humor, and practical coaching to help you push through the stall, build real momentum, and start owning your business instead of letting it own you.

In Part 2 of The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast with Mara Dorne, the conversation goes beyond business and into the mindset that helped create her success.Mara opens up about living with anxiety, navigating “mom guilt”, and the personal sacrifices involved in becoming successful. Authenticity has been a major key for Mara, who has learned over time what it takes to thrive without losing yourself. Her transparency and humor will inspire you to embrace your truth and imperfections, and lead with both power and compassion.Episode Highlights00:00 – “Progress brings happiness.” 01:15 – “Look good, feel good, do good.” How inner confidence fuels outer success.05:30 – Energy equals productivity — lessons from Tony Robbins on physiology and focus.09:30 – The truth about mom guilt, mom shaming, and giving yourself grace.17:00 – Setting boundaries and choosing family over constant business travel.21:30 – “People like you when you're authentic.” Leadership lessons from letting go of ego.31:15 – Owning her anxiety — how Mara turned fear into focus and vulnerability into power. 43:00 – “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.” Choosing resilience and self-love.49:30 – “You're not going to be everybody's cup of tea — and that's okay.”Key Takeaways:Progress Creates Purpose Growth — even small — fuels happiness.

Engineer and Midlife Business Strategist Sairan Aqrawi shares her inspiring journey from Iraq to a new life in the United States—and the extraordinary story of her mother, Sidika, who was married at 14, became a mother at 15, and went on to raise seven children. From Sidika, we learn the power of patience and trust in divine timing; the wisdom of letting go of small grievances; the importance of choosing grace over noise, and of not seeking validation from others. She reminds us that not everything will unfold as we wish—and that sometimes, peace means letting go. Sairan also reflects on the lessons she's learned as an immigrant, a mother, and a business coach: to own your voice, to take action ("because action is confidence"), to see midlife as a triumph and a new fruitful phase, and to remember that sometimes you need to pause—and recalibrate.

Today on Healing the Broken Marriage with Brian and Elisha, they open up about one of the toughest—but most transformative—turning points in their marriage: learning to own their part.It's easy to blame your spouse when everything feels like it's falling apart, but real healing begins when we look in the mirror and let God work in our own hearts first.Brian and Elisha share raw, honest moments from their journey of humility, repentance, and inner transformation—what it looked like to stop trying to fix each other and start allowing God to do the deeper work.If you've ever thought, “If only my spouse would change, everything would be better,” this conversation will challenge, inspire, and remind you: true marital healing starts with you. ❤️

A single late-night choice can redraw an entire map. That's what happens when Gail Bliss, a seasoned performer and international flight attendant, taps the audition button on a whim and lands on The Voice as its oldest U.S. contestant to advance—thanks to Snoop Dogg's unexpected replay. We dive into the messy, magnetic reality behind that moment: decades of craft, the pivot from sax to song, the Patsy Cline era, Nashville's backrooms, and a 60th birthday vow to do six epic things that turned a canceled trip into a once-in-a-lifetime stage.We unpack what age really measures—and what it doesn't. Gail shares how she balanced discipline with delight, put her voice to bed while others partied, and still matched the room's spark. She talks candidly about a missed lyric, a wobbly note, and the mind games bright lights can play, then shows how not chasing the outcome freed her to savor the experience. The unlikely pairing with Snoop becomes a lesson in openness: mentorship and opportunity often arrive from outside your lane, and that's where the best stories live.Along the way, we get practical about longevity. Health becomes a creative ally, not a chore: sleep, strength, mobility, and a support team that might include a physician, holistic practitioner, nutritionist, and coach. Invest on the front end so your body can say yes when the dream calls. If you're staring down 40, 60, or any milestone that feels like a deadline, this conversation offers a clear invitation—make your list, press the button, and let curiosity outrun hesitation.If this story fired you up, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review. Tell us: what bold button are you ready to press next?Bio Chosen from 600 hopefuls to play Patsy Cline in A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, Gail Bliss portrayed the icon for 30 years in 2,800+ shows across North America, endorsed by Patsy's estate and praised by Paul Harvey as “a sensaysh carbon of Cline.” Seen on The Voice (Team Snoop Dogg), Gail has toured with her band, starred on Broadway, and released 7 acclaimed albums spanning country, blues, and gospel. Website - www.GailBliss.comFacebook InstagramSpotifyYouTube HearNow: GailBliss.hearnow.comWe hope you have enjoyed this episode.

Jason Wright is a speaker, author, entrepreneur, real estate investor, and digital marketing architect known for designing intelligent AI agents and automation solutions for business owners. After starting as a teenage lawn care entrepreneur and enduring a tumultuous journey through corporate HR, sales, and safety roles, Jason carved his own path by embracing the ups and downs of self-employment. Today, he runs Intentionally Inspirational, specializing in AI-driven marketing and automation for real estate investors and fellow entrepreneurs, helping them scale efficiently while keeping a sense of humor and authenticity at the forefront. How humble beginnings (mowing lawns for fishing tackle) sparked Jason's entrepreneurial bug—and why he rebelled against the "get a degree, find a boss" script.​ The struggle of his first business launch, running out of money, and being forced to ask family for support—and why hitting bottom forged business resilience.​ Pivots through jobs (cars, mortgages, publishing), freelancing on Upwork, and finally building a niche business serving real estate investors with automated marketing solutions.​ The essential mindset shifts: the world doesn't owe you anything, ego means nothing, and success requires adapting to rejection and uncertainty.​ Why discipline, over motivation, is key to entrepreneurship—and how the habit of working through difficult periods produces long-term results.​ Jason's advice for leveraging AI now, niching down, and automating the parts of business that drain your energy.​ Top 3 Takeaways You must earn your entrepreneurial credibility through setbacks, pivots, and doing the grunt work—even without recognition or immediate financial reward.​ Automate, outsource, and delegate aggressively; focus only on the work that maximizes your unique value and happiness.​ Embrace failure as a necessary precursor to growth—your timeline is unpredictable, and your highlight reel will be built on low points.​ Notable Quotes "The world doesn't owe you anything. Your ego doesn't mean anything in the entrepreneurial world."​ "Motivation is not required to get things done—even if you're not motivated, do it anyway."​ "Most business owners overestimate the value of their time, and underestimate the importance of discipline and automation."​ Connect with Jason Wright: Website: intentionallyinspirational.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️
