Michael Wedaa  - Augmentus Business Solutions On the Keeping the Details Correct: "If your address is your old business address with the Secretary of State or with the IRS or on one of the credit bureaus, there's an algorithm in a lot of banks that will give you an automatic denial." Money makes the world go 'round, and it does that by flowing.  Money in your business, money out to employees, vendors, investments, and the ever present tax-man. But what if you could shuffle your money a bit to be able to improve the flow to the good things to build your business and your net worth and reduced the amount going to the less than good things?  Would you want to learn how to reduce your tax burden, limit your liability and build your business credit?? The crazy thing is, a lot of these strategies are simple and effective.  The crazier thing is that many entrepreneurs don't know about them or feel they are too small for it to matter. It matters. Michael Wedaa is the owner of Augmentus Business Solutions.  Their purpose is to help businesses navigate the game of business to make and keep more money.  He understands the nuances and differences between things like LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, and how you want your different business entities to be structured. Listen as Michael goes into detail on business credit, taxes and business entity differences. Enjoy!

As you know, we focus on helping people get the most out of their corporation or llc. And one of the ways we help people do that is by helping them build business credit. And business credit is very different from personal credit. The rules are different.

And today we're welcoming Slash, preparing to learn from Michael Wedaa of Augmentus Business Solutions. And Michael, we're hitting a lot of things here. The business credit, I believe, is the main one. So let's just start out with what is business credit? Michael Wedaa [00:01:01]: Great. No, first off, James, it's great to spend some time with you again. It's been a while since we last. James Kademan [00:01:06]: Chatted, but it has, you know, it's funny. I'll just elude here a little bit. YouTube is moving into shorts and all that jazz because they're trying to compete with all the other social media things that have short videos. And so we just got fancy software, whatever to find shorts. And it's interesting because some interviews, you're like, yeah, there's a handful. And yours is like, ba, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. All good stuff. So I'm so happy that we have you on here a second time because, well, good.

Tracy Anderson  - Big Brother Big Sisters of Dane County On the Value of Being a Mentor to a Kid: "When you spend time with a child, it's shown to prove that they'll likely go to college when they grow up or have a better paying job or not partake in violence, alcohol or drugs." As entrepreneurs, we strive to do our best every day.  We push and drag ourselves, our employees, our clients and our vendors to join us in growing our business.  We do all of this for many reasons, but for many of us, that reason is based on two words, Growth and Freedom. What is interesting is that not everyone has that mindset, or has even had the opportunity to be exposed to that mindset.  Not everyone knows that you can do and be better.  Some people simply have not been shown all of the opportunity they really have. That is one of the reasons I became a Big, with Big Brothers Big Sisters and why we are lucky to have Tracy Anderson, of BBBS Dane County in Madison, Wisconsin to chat with us about the difference a mentor can make. Tracy explains what all Big Brothers Big Sisters does for kids, adults, the community and society at large.  All of this rolling around the idea of people sharing time, experience and ideas with each other, thinly veiled as just having fun hanging out. If you have ever wondered how you could make a difference in the world, as a way to show gratitude for the success you have achieved, I'd highly suggest becoming a Big. Listen as Tracy explains what it takes to be a Big and the challenges Big Brothers Big Sisters has continued to overcome, just like any business.  Often success can be measured by a bank account, more importantly, it can be measured in smiles and expanding the opportunity that you were lucky enough to learn about.

So it's all about spending that one on one time. It truly makes a difference. And when you spend time with a child, we create new matches, ages 6 to 13. Another great reason why mentorship works. I mean, you're getting out of a different environment and you're being asked to do things that you know are going to help you when you become an adult.

So, Tracy, how is it going today? Tracy Anderson [00:00:58]: Good, good. James Kademan [00:00:59]: I'm excited for you to be here. Tracy Anderson [00:01:00]: Thank you. James Kademan [00:01:01]: I've been a big. I guess I'm not technically a Big anymore, but I was a Big with Danny. We got connected when he was 11. Tracy Anderson [00:01:08]: Okay. James Kademan [00:01:08]: So it's like I said, is almost forever. It's been a while.

Therese Merkel - Tricky Foods On the the Goal of Being a Business OWNER and not a Business OPERATOR: "How do I build a machine that works without me so that I can still be involved in this business, but I'm not the one working Friday, Saturdays and weekends?" The food business can be tricky.  You've got health codes to deal with, so people don't get sick.  You've got the whole issue of spoilage, so you need to keep product moving.  Then you've got the fluctuating prices of your ingredients.  Add in the challenges of employees, and property and customers and different tastes and you have a very challenging business. That is why it is so incredible to chat with people like Therese Merkel, of Tricky Foods. Therese Merkel always loved cooking and has brought that passion to her charcuterie board business for Madison, Wisconsin (soon the world) visitors to love. Therese's journey from a traditional tech career at Epic to building a thriving cheese and charcuterie business is filled with twists, hustle, and a whole lot of Wisconsin pride. She shares how she turned her culinary passion, and a timely Instagram trend, into a storefront that's more than just a stop for cheese boards.  She added a wine and beer bar, event space, and catering hub that celebrates all things local. In this candid conversation, Therese opens up about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, from bootstrapping her business with just $10,000, to navigating Madison's real estate market, negotiating everything from kitchen rent to employee wages, and learning how to build systems that let her step back from day-to-day service and focus on expansion. She discusses the inspiration behind launching shippable charcuterie boards using Wisconsin cheeses, the powerful impact of authentic social media marketing, and the ongoing challenge of scaling up while keeping her signature brand of creativity and local spirit. Listen as Therese explains how she used her persistence, skills, and a bit of luck along with her incredible wit and charm to get things done in such a blisteringly fast way it must be heard from her to be believed.  Therese is nothing less than amazing and you will be inspired after just listening to her tell the tales.

As opposed to using like Harry and David or like 1-800-FLOWERS. They can support a local company and shippable boards that only uses Wisconsin cheeses. And we're from Wisconsin. It just feels like a good way. It. It's serendipitous with like, my feel on community and supporting local and like the. The local economy. Therese Merkel [00:00:19]: Here.

Danielle Burken - Danielle Burken Marketing On the How Marketing with Human Design Helps Your Business: "You're attracting the clients that you want to work with because you are showing up as the version of yourself that really trusts in the work that you're doing." We all have a voice.  In marketing our business, we often try to sugarcoat or use an inauthentic voice that may not really align with us.  Or really even sound anything like us. If you've ever wondered how to find greater alignment in your work, or felt frustrated by “cookie-cutter” marketing formulas that just don't fit for your personality, you won't want to miss this conversation. Danielle shares how she went from running a successful food blog to managing a marketing agency, and ultimately discovered the power of applying human design—a system based on your birth details—to help entrepreneurs market and run their businesses in a way that genuinely feels right for them. James and Danielle dive deep into what human design is, how it differs from traditional personality tests, and why knowing your own design can clear the noise and confusion so common in the modern marketing world. Danielle offers up real-life stories from her own journey and client work, discussing the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of authenticity, and even the tough conversations she faced when leaving her day job to take the leap into business ownership. Listen as Danielle explains how using Human Design can be a great way to bring your own voice into your marketing for your business. Enjoy!

So for audience members who haven't heard about human design before, it is a tool similar to, let's say, Enneagram, disc assessment, Myers Briggs, those personality type tests. However, this goes a layer deeper because it's based on your birth date and time. And when we apply it to marketing, business becomes so much easier. James Kademan [00:00:28]: Oh well, easy business is best.

James Kademan [00:01:07]: And you do marketing, but it, it goes a little deeper than that. Danielle Burken [00:01:10]: It does a lot deeper. I do everything through the lens of human design. So. James Kademan [00:01:15]: Okay. Danielle Burken [00:01:16]: For audience members who haven't heard about human design before, it is a tool similar to, let's say, Enneagram Disc Assessment, Myers Briggs, those personality typ tests. However, this goes a layer deeper because it's based on your birth date and time. So it's not answering any questions which I feel can sometimes skew your results.

Chris Gantz - Patriot Properties Property Management On the How the Internet Has Changed the Real Estate Industry: "Now you have the democratization of that MLS book, right? So that value is completely gone for the broker because everybody can see everybody everywhere at all times." Investing in Real Estate is often a great way to add to your investment portfolio.  There are a few main ways to invest, and one of them is to own property that you pay for someone else to take care of the property.  This includes preparing the place for rent, marketing the property, and finding some sweet people to rent the place.  Chris Gantz of Patriot Properties knows property management and real estate investing. Unlike the usual interviews with investors and agents, Chris brings a boots-on-the-ground perspective, sharing what it's really like to manage thousands of units across Wisconsin—including multifamily buildings, self-storage, mobile home parks, and short-term rentals. This is the guy doing the things that the other investors pay people to do.  Chris is the real deal and explains in candid detail what you need to look for when hunting for your property manager.  He also discusses a few things to look for in the rental property you are looking to acquire. Chris delves into Patriot Properties' innovative decentralized model, how technology is transforming the industry, and the strategies his team uses to stay ahead of the competition—like same-day showings and rapid application processing. He also explains the challenges and perks of active management, pricing strategies, the ever-evolving rental market, and how landlords can maximize returns in both cash-flow and appreciation-focused markets. Listen as Chris explains tips for finding off-market deals and managing tenant relationships (including some wild stories!). If you're thinking about investing in real estate or want to learn what it takes to truly succeed in property management, you won't want to miss Chris's thoughtful insights and candid stories from the field.

You know the Burr method, right? House hacking, I think that's always a great way. One of the things I've always said is, in my opinion, you know, one of the fastest ways to make money in real estate is to fix and flip. So if you can find the single family home, you're going to live in it, or the duplex, you're going to live in it, fix it up. While you live there, you're putting in all the sweat equity, do as much work as you can. Foreign.

Peter Shankman - Bestselling Author and the Founder of Help A Reporter Out (HARO) On the Value of ADHD in Business: "Faster Than Normal has sort of become the bible for ADHD and the concept that ADHD is a gift, not a curse." The data on entrepreneurs, even C-Suite executives is clear.  We happen to lean towards having ADD or ADHD or some form of attention deficit.  I'd argue it isn't a deficit, it is more short term focus as an advantage, as it allows for thinking fast, moving fast, making faster decisions and overall, accomplishing more. Peter Shankman, author of Faster Than Normal and founder of HARO (Help a Reporter Out) talks with us today about the limitations of ADHD, as well as the value of owning the diagnosis. He takes us through his entrepreneurial journey that includes many startups, some exits and a few great books. Listen as Peter explains all that he has done and how he has been able to do it, despite his label of having ADHD. Enjoy!

Summary In this episode of the Conquer Athlete Podcast, hosts Jason Leydon and Ryan Bucciantini discuss the importance of keeping athletes engaged through foundational training, especially in preparation for the CrossFit Games. They emphasize the need for patience and understanding in training, highlighting how athletes must sometimes focus on less exciting, foundational work to achieve long-term success. The conversation also touches on the balance between motivation and training intensity, as well as predictions for the upcoming CrossFit Games.   Takeaways Engaging athletes requires focusing on foundational work. Patience is key in training for long-term success. Winning isn't boring; it's about developing weaknesses. Athletes must be willing to take steps back to progress. Training should be balanced and not dreary. Building a strong foundation is essential for performance. Understanding the 'why' behind training is crucial for athletes. Coaches should learn from other sports to enhance training methods. Athletes need to focus on their goals and commitments. Predictions for the CrossFit Games highlight emerging talent.

James Hatfield of LiveSwitch has set up this magic for you and your business.  He explains how the concept came about, how it helps businesses and the challenges that he and his crew had to navigate along the way.

This is actually the reverse of a FaceTime call, meaning if I'm the homeowner and I receive the text now I'm going to see myself large and the salesperson small. So I get to see and the salesperson will have a virtual background. It's all tuned up to do a virtual estimate. And so now the customer can walk through the home and me or if I'm the salesperson in the call center, hey, I'll record everything. The entire video is recorded. I can take remote photos and tap into your camera, take high res photos, take notes, share my screen if I need to walk you through document, hold up your ID if I need a picture of id.

For a hot minute I was working with a guy that was putting together remote window replacement company for your house and getting people to understand how to count their windows. People aren't window experts. This would have really helped so that they could just take a walk with video and the agents on our end could see what they were looking at. So why don't we start with what is the foundation?

Luis Derechin - Nir-Yu (Pronounced 'Near You') On the Building Upon Your Success: "Any successful company is in the continuous improvement process. We identified what we call the Offshore Team Death Trap—seven systemic failures—and built our process to counteract them." Hiring locally can be expensive and you need to pay for a space for that employee to work.  Hire remotely and your costs should go down, but your volume and value of work may suffer, dependent on your employees.  Hire overseas and you end up with vaguely incoherent contractors that do less work than a domestic employee, if you count you saying, "Please repeat that..." about a zillion times.  The answer for some businesses may be Nearshoring.  Hiring contractors that have lived in an English speaking world, but also in a world that allows a dollar to go three or four times as far. Luis Derechin of Nir-Yu has created a company to help you do just that.  Hire, train and utilize a workforce that speaks well and has strong skills at a cost that is a fraction of a domestic employee. Luis dives deep into the world of remote staffing and the art of building international teams. From early candy-selling hustle as a child in Mexico, to founding Mexico's first tech startup to be venture funded by U.S. investors, Luis shares his lifelong journey as an entrepreneur—and reveals the key challenges businesses face when hiring remote employees in Latin America. You'll hear firsthand the pitfalls of remote talent acquisition, the importance of cultural alignment, and how Nir-Yu's “Remote Intelligence Framework” solves issues like the “Offshore Team Death Trap.” James and Luis also get candid about managing teams, navigating language barriers, and why a win-win relationship is essential for international staffing success. Whether you're battling talent shortages, feeling the pinch of rising labor costs, or just curious about building remote teams, this conversation is packed with insight, practical stories, and a bit of entrepreneurial humor. Listen as Luis explains the pros and cons of utilizing a nearshore team and how it may help your business. Enjoy!

In this episode of Booked & Unfiltered, Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith unpack the latest controversy surrounding bestselling author Ali Hazelwood and the harsh realities of online book discourse. They dive into the complexities of fandom culture, the rise of performative outrage, and how bullying masked as “critique” is eroding empathy in the book community. Michelle and Steph share why reading the actual book still matters, why we can care about literature and global issues at the same time, and how nuance has all but disappeared from internet conversations. This episode is a rally cry for book lovers who still believe stories can build bridges—and that authors deserve humanity, not harassment. What We're Talking About... Feedback on the Read the Damn Book series is positive. It's okay to put down a book you're not enjoying. People feel pressure to read certain books in professional settings. Online bullying over fictional character preferences is unnecessary. Empathy should guide our discussions and disagreements. Books can open our eyes to different perspectives. The importance of treating authors as human beings. Fandom debates can become toxic and unproductive. We should focus our energy on real-world issues. Reading should be an enjoyable escape, not a source of conflict.

Amanda Marek - Active Youth Wisconsin On Getting the Style Right: "I always like to say that, from an unbiased standpoint, our events are really, really awesome. And I say it's unbiased because I got to experience the events before I was an employee of active youth Wisconsin." It seems kids have all sorts of gadgets and ways to watch, listen and play while sitting in a chair and staring at a screen.  While this may be entertaining, it is also not great for their bodies.  Every body needs to move and be active.  That is a habit that should start early.  But how do you get kids off the couch and off their screens? Amanda Marek is the director of Active Youth Wisconsin, a non-profit that helps get kids moving through many programs.  These programs include donations to schools for physical education equipment, after school programs, triathlons for kids and even some adult fund-raising to get adults active. Discover how Active Youth Wisconsin removes barriers, from providing "no questions asked" financial aid for entry fees and gear, to carting bike trailers to schools so every child can experience the freedom and confidence that come with moving their bodies. Amanda opens up about the challenges and triumphs of running events, working with schools, wrangling city permits, and, most importantly, ensuring that every child—regardless of means—has the opportunity to build healthy habits and a sense of community through activity. Whether you're a parent, educator, entrepreneur, or just someone who believes in the power of movement and inclusion, this episode is packed with heartfelt stories and valuable insights. Listen as Amanda details how they are helping get kids moving and making sure the opportunity is available to everyone. Enjoy!
