This episode is being re-released in remembrance of Scott Adams, who has passed away on the 13th of January, 2026. This interview remains a meaningful reflection of his ideas, experiences, and voice, and it deserved to be shared again. My guest today, Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, joins me to talk about exactly why that is and the type of thinking he refers to as "Loserthink." It's also the title of his new book subtitled, How Untrained Brains are Ruining America. Today, we talk about the fact that being right and being wrong feel the same, how to determine what battles to fight online, how shaming and mockery can be used positively, and ultimately how you can avoid thinking like a loser. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Augmenting your intelligence Wrestling with social media A "slippery slope" Linear thinking Predictable variables to success Influencing other people Enlightened selfishness Succeeding at systems Mental addiction Adding to your talent stack There's always a deeper level Engaging in "loser think" Determining a stranger's thoughts SCOTT ADAMS Gents, I am stoked to be able to introduce you to my guest today, Scott Adams. Before I do, I want to make sure I thank my friend, Jordan Harbinger, for introducing us. You may not know who Scott is right away but I'm sure you know Dilbert. Scott is the creator of Dilbert and the bestselling author of Win Bigly and his new book, Loserthink. Although Scott really started to gain attention and traction with Dilbert, his political commentary is, in my mind, just as, if not more, important. If you're interested, you can check out what he has to say on Twitter (@scottadamssays). He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers and I think that is why he has gained such a following – his ability to say what needs to be said and his ability to say it in a way that connects with so many of us. SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES Gentlemen, we're all aware of how important systems and processes are on our path to success but how many men have not created those systems in every facet of their lives.

This month, inside the Iron Council, we'll be exploring and deep-diving into the systems and processes I use and what the 500+ members are using to achieve maximum results. We'll help you unpackage your systems, explore what's working, remove what isn't, and rebuild a strategy that will ensure your success.

The state of things right now isn't exactly predictable. Costs are up, people feel cautious about spending, and there's this underlying tension around money that's hard to ignore. If you're working full time and thinking about becoming a financial coach this year, or if you're already coaching and trying to figure out how to navigate 2026 without burning out, this episode is for you.The good news? Flexibility is your competitive advantage right now. When your expenses are lean and your approach is strategic, you can be generous with clients, creative with pricing, and responsive to what people actually need. This isn't about playing small or operating from fear. It's about being the kind of financial leader who can adapt without compromising impact.In this episode, we're talking about practical strategy for this season: why your full-time job might be the best business asset you have right now, how to design your coaching business around your actual life instead of an internet ideal, and what it means to maximize your three key resources (time, energy, and money) when you're already stretched thin.If you've been feeling pressure to go all in, scale up, or match someone else's version of success, this episode will help you see that steadiness is strategy. And the steadiness you create for yourself is exactly what your clients are craving from you.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupHow to Create Buy-In Training(free)Episode 138: The State of People's FinancesKey Takeaways:Flexibility is your competitive advantage. When your expenses are lean, you can offer payment plans, adjust pricing, and respond to clients' real needs without financial pressure forcing your hand.Predictable income is a business strategy, not a compromise. Your full-time job gives you something full-time entrepreneurs don't have: the ability to plan, save, and give your business time to grow without crushing pressure.Your business doesn't need to be impressive to work. What matters is whether it fits your actual life, serves your clients well, and gives you something nothing else in your life currently gives you.Scarcity motivates action. Limited availability isn't a weakness. Instead, it cuts down on client indecisiveness and makes scheduling easier for everyone involved.Focus on activities that fill a gap only your business can fill. If your full-time job is high pressure, make your business fun and relaxed. If parenting feels thankless, let client appreciation fuel you.You have to claim what you need and ask for it specifically. The hardest help to ask for is often just space, permission to focus on your business for a Saturday morning without guilt.Steadiness is what your clients are craving right now. By creating it for yourself first, you bring that same grounded energy into every coaching session.

Referrals are still the #1 growth channel in home services — but most contractors treat it like hope marketing.In this episode, John Wilson sits down with Murphy Nadauld (ReferPro) to break down how the best operators turn word-of-mouth into a systematic, trackable, ROI-positive referral engine.They unpack why 83% of customers are willing to refer, yet only 29% actually do — and the three levers that close the gap: awareness, attribution, and automated rewards.You'll learn how top HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and restoration companies:Activate referrals directly through technicians in the homeBuild a B2B “affiliate army” (realtors, plumbers, inspectors, restoration partners)Tier incentives by job value so referrals scale without blowing up CACUse attribution and automation to make referrals predictable — not randomIf you're a contractor owner who wants referrals on demand, not vibes, this episode is your blueprint.In This Episode, We Cover:The referral gap: why customers want to refer but don'tThe 3-part referral system: Awareness → Attribution → RewardsHow “power referrers” actually emerge (and why spend ≠ referrals)Technician-driven referrals: QR codes, NFC, truck signage, leave-behinds

You jump straight into the deep end with Richie Castellano as you explore what happens when preparation collides with opportunity. You follow his path from mixing weddings to standing behind massive analog rigs, wrangling six guitar channels, chasing down mysterious hums, and learning fast that the gremlins always show up when you least expect them. When the call comes to go from being Blue Oyster Cult’s sub sound engineer to bass player in four days with 21 songs to learn, the lesson is clear: play something you know, rehearse smart, and build a Just In Case bag that saves the gig. Success is not luck. It is preparation meeting the moment, and you are either ready or you are not. In order to Always Be Performing you need to Always Be Preparing! As the conversation deepens, you learn how adaptability gets and keeps gigs, from joining the culture of a band to solving problems so painlessly you become indispensable. Richie breaks down the craft of learning, teaching, and arranging vocal harmonies, including Yes music at the highest level, where not nailing the vocals means the whole thing falls apart. You hear why simplifying is sometimes the smart move, how spreadsheets can ease rehearsals, and why blending matters more than showing off. The episode closes with practical wisdom on collaboration with front of house, constant communication inside the band, and surrounding yourself with people on the same mission. This is a masterclass in being prepared, predictable, drama-free, and trusted when it counts. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 516 – Monday, January 12th, 2026 January 12th: National Hot Tea Day Guest co-host: Richie Castellano NAMM coming up!

The Financial Model Every 7–8 Figure Business Needs for Predictable Profit with Salvatore Tirabassi   Most business owners don't lack data. They lack clarity.   They have a P&L, a balance sheet, maybe even a dashboard. But when a real decision shows up—Can I afford this hire? Should I scale marketing? Why did margins drop again?—the numbers don't give a clear answer.   That's where growth starts to feel chaotic.   In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky Lalvani sits down with fractional CFO and former private equity investor Salvatore Tirabassi to unpack what separates "clean books" from a finance function that actually drives predictable profit.   The core insight is simple but uncomfortable: bookkeeping is not finance. And confusing the two is one of the biggest reasons growing businesses stall, leak cash, or scale problems instead of profit.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why clean books and tax-ready reports are not the same as decision-ready financials How a single, integrated financial model replaces disconnected spreadsheets and gut decisions What driver-based forecasting looks like and why it creates predictable profit at scale How funnel math, capacity planning, and cash flow must work together to support growth Why tracking customer acquisition cost by channel matters more than obsessing over lifetime value How private-equity thinking exposes hidden profit leaks in people, process, and culture   Key Takeaway: If your financial reports are technically accurate but not helping you decide what to do next, the problem isn't effort—it's the model. Upgrade from bookkeeping to real finance, and your numbers will finally start working for you instead of against you.   Bio: As a seasoned finance professional with over 24 years of experience, his journey began with a passion for helping businesses thrive. After earning his degrees from Harvard and Wharton, he spent 15 years in venture capital, where he learned the ins and outs of what makes businesses successful. This experience provided him with a deep understanding of the challenges entrepreneurs face, especially in emerging and family-owned businesses.   Transitioning to the role of CFO in a high-growth company, he discovered his true calling: empowering business owners to take control of their financial futures. He founded CFO Pro + Analytics to provide virtual and fractional CFO services that demystify finance and make it accessible to all. His approach is built on a business owner-first mindset, where he prioritizes the unique needs of each client, helping them see their financial data not just as numbers, but as powerful tools for growth.   Throughout his career, He developed a methodology that combines strategic financial modeling with actionable insights. His goal is to simplify complex financial concepts so that entrepreneurs can make informed decisions confidently. Whether it's guiding them through capital raising or enhancing their operational efficiency, he strives to provide clarity and direction that drives real results.   He believes that every business has the potential to reach new heights with the right financial strategy.   Links: Website: https://cfoproanalytics.com/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SalvatoreTirabassi  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stirabassi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salvatoretirabassi/   Substack: https://salvatoretirabassi.substack.com/   Conclusion: Chaotic growth is rarely a revenue problem. It's a clarity problem. As this conversation with Salvatore Tirabassi makes clear, most businesses don't struggle because they lack effort or ambition. They struggle because their numbers are built for compliance, not for decisions. When financial reports are shaped by tax rules instead of business drivers, owners are left guessing, reacting, and hoping growth will eventually smooth things out. Predictable profit comes from upgrading how you think about finance. One integrated model. One source of truth. Clear drivers that connect marketing, sales, capacity, and cash. When those pieces line up, the noise disappears. Decisions get easier. Teams align. And growth becomes intentional instead of exhausting. Whether you plan to sell or simply want a calmer, more profitable business, running your company with CFO-level discipline gives you options. And options are what real freedom looks like.   #ProfitAnswerMan #BusinessFinance #FinancialClarity #CashFlowManagement #Profitability #FractionalCFO #FinancialModeling #DriverBasedForecasting #PredictableProfit #MarginManagement #BusinessGrowth #ScalingBusiness #RevenueDrivers #CEOInsights #7FigureBusiness   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

When the last machine winds down and the lights flicker into their nighttime hum, there's a moment every closer knows well—the quiet that settles in once everyone else is gone. It's supposed to be peaceful. Predictable. Safe. But in this factory, silence doesn't mean empty. Night after night, something lingers after the doors are locked. Sounds echo where no one stands. Music bleeds from radios that shut off the instant they're touched. Air tools hiss with no air behind them. And footsteps—measured, deliberate—follow whoever dares to walk the darkened aisles alone. For one veteran closer, every shift became a race against the alarm system, sprinting through shadows while unseen movement tracked his every step. Papers drifted from windows sealed tight. Breath brushed the back of his neck. And the building itself began to feel less like a workplace… and more like something watching, waiting. Because once the lights go out, this place doesn't feel abandoned. It feels awake. #RealGhostStories #HauntedWorkplace #ParanormalEncounter #TrueGhostStory #NightShiftHaunting #HauntedFactory #ParanormalActivity #UnexplainedPhenomena #GhostStories Love real ghost stories?

If you keep entering a new year hoping things will change without confronting the patterns you keep repeating, nothing will be different. Familiar habits. Familiar reactions. Familiar relationships. Familiar excuses. Over time, that repetition does not just stall progress. It reshapes your identity and erodes self-trust. In this episode, I break down why motivation always fades under pressure and why discipline without structure collapses into burnout. I expose the internal enemies most people avoid. Undisciplined thinking. Survival tactics that are no longer necessary. Coping skills that numb instead of build capacity. Predictable failure loops. People-pleasing disguised as kindness. Environments that quietly keep you stuck. You will hear a direct breakdown of the internal battles that must be faced before anything external can change. Thought governance. Emotional regulation. Boundaries. Values. Standards. And the real cost of avoiding your blind spots. Not with shame. With clarity and ownership. This episode is for anyone tired of almost becoming who they were called to be. For those who know they are capable of more but keep sabotaging themselves in familiar ways. If you are ready to stop surviving, stop outsourcing responsibility, and start living with intention, courage, and alignment, this is the work. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this power-packed episode, Jason and Tobias dive deep into the systems, structures, and strategic thinking that truly scale a fitness business, from CRM mastery and automated nurture sequences to niching down, crafting a unique mechanism, and building long-term client trust. Their conversation blends real industry experience with actionable guidance, reminding listeners that success comes from investing in yourself, implementing proven systems, and solving one clear problem for one specific audience with excellence.   "As soon as you get laser-focused on solving one big problem for one type of client and showing that you have a unique system and strategy that gets them the result, that's where you start hitting some home runs, folks."   Key takeaways: Systems Scale Businesses — Large gym chains succeed because of solid systems; online coaches must adopt the same mindset and tools.  A CRM Is Essential — Tracking leads, notes, follow-ups, and nurture sequences through a CRM ensures no potential client slips through the cracks.  Email Nurture Builds Trust & Omnipresence — A strong email list allows you to deliver value, direct people to your content, and stay top-of-mind when they're ready to buy.  A Focused Niche Wins — Trying to "help everyone" repels everyone; define one problem for one person and speak directly to them.  A Unique Mechanism Differentiates You — Without a distinct method or framework, clients compare you on price; a unique process positions you as the premium solution.  Mentorship Fast-Tracks Growth — Investing in coaching removes years of trial-and-error and accelerates results.  Your Warm List Is Gold — Past and current clients, plus an email list, make launches easier and more profitable than relying solely on social media.  Personal Storytelling Creates Connection — Tobias's journey—from childhood challenges to corporate fitness success to coaching—shows how authenticity builds credibility.  Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Chances are referrals work for your agency.  Maybe they're the only thing that ever has.  But you've never optimized them.  [Note: this is an encore of an episode originally aired 12/3/25]. If your agency is stuck in "the Cobbler's Children phase", where you deliver great work for clients but new business feels chaotic and reactive, this episode offers a way out. I'm sharing my referral workshop from the All In Agency Summit, condensed from 60 to 30 minutes of pure strategy. This isn't about random networking or hoping referrals happen. It's about installing a repeatable system that generates 2-5 targeted introductions weekly without cold outreach spam or burning out your team. What You'll Leave With:The four-level agency maturity model and how to identify which phase you're actually inWhy the 2020 shift made trust—not awareness—the scarce resource in B2B salesThe high school gym versus NFL stadium test for choosing the right lead gen strategy based on your market sizeA two-pronged outreach approach that keeps your pipeline full even when you're wearing too many hatsThe simple emotional game-changer that gets introductions to actually happen instead of sitting in limboThe one data tool you need to get started without expensive SaaS platformsWhy asking for referrals is actually a positive-sum game that benefits everyone involvedHow to systematize client referrals so your account team generates opportunities automaticallyThe sprint-to-marathon framework that proves this approach scales beyond your immediate network

If you've been sitting on a subscription box idea for way too long, this episode is for you. In today's episode, I'm breaking down 5 powerful reasons why 2026 is an incredible time to start a subscription box. Yes, even if you've been watching this space for years and wondering if it's “too late.” Spoiler alert: it's not. Not even close. We'll talk about market opportunity, recurring revenue, loyal customers, and why subscription boxes continue to thrive. Especially for niche, well-positioned brands. I get asked all the time: “Is it too late to start a subscription box?”The truth? The industry is still growing fast, and there is so much room for niche boxes done well. The global subscription box market passed $37 billion in 2025 It's projected to grow past $100 billion in the next few years You don't need a subscription box for everyone - just a box for your people.  Reason #1: You Don't Have to Constantly Sell If you've ever felt stuck in the daily hustle of: Posting Emailing Promoting Starting over tomorrow Subscription boxes allow you to sell once and get paid month after month, building revenue that compounds instead of resets. In a world where: Organic reach is down Ads cost more Attention is scattered Recurring revenue brings stability and peace of mind. Reason #2: You Build Loyal, Raving Fans Subscribers open more emails and engage more deeply Long-term subscribers turn into your best customers Community is one of the biggest hidden benefits of a subscription box (My average subscriber stays 17 months - and that relationship matters.) Reason #3: The Product Is Already Sold You're buying inventory after customers have already said yes. Less risk Less waste Easier planning Better cash flow And in 2026, customers want thoughtful, intentional products, not mass-produced clutter. Reason #4: You Get to Create Something You Love In a world full of: Screens Algorithms AI-generated everything A subscription box is different. It's real. It's tangible. It's personal. Whether your box is built around products, creativity, education, or connection, your passion becomes the experience, and your audience feels that. Reason #5: Predictable, Consistent Revenue Feast-and-famine sales cycles are exhausting. Subscription boxes give you: Stability The ability to plan ahead Freedom to hire help or take a break Revenue that doesn't disappear if one post flops There is nothing like watching renewals hit your account month after month. If you think it's “too late,” here's the shift to make: The most successful subscription boxes aren't broad. They're specific. People want to feel: Seen Connected Part of something If you've been waiting… This is your sign. If you're ready to move from thinking to planning, I want you to join me for my FREE 6 in 60 Workshop.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of “Push the Leading Edge”, James Hawkins and Ryan Rana dive into one of the most anxiety‑provoking parts of EFT: when the caregiving system red-lights right in the middle of beautiful vulnerability. Drawing on attachment theory and years of EFT training experience, they explore “caregiving nightmares”—those predictable moments when a partner can't respond with comfort, even when their loved one is wide open and reaching. They unpack how pursuers and withdrawers each bring their attachment strategies into the caregiving role: withdrawers often “loan out their avoidance” as a form of love, and pursuers “up the ante” as their way of fighting for the bond. Rather than shaming these moves or bypassing them to “get to the heart,” James and Ryan show how to move toward the blocks themselves as emotional material, validating the attachment logic inside them and using structured, attuned interventions to help partners reclaim their caregiving systems. With rich clinical examples, regulation strategies for therapists, and practical language you can use tomorrow, this episode helps you trust the process, trust the caregiving system, and stay with the red lights long enough for new attachment experiences to emerge. Main Points from the Episode Framing: “Caregiving Nightmares” & Red Lights  - Focus on stage 2 / step 6 caregiving positions, and the “back half” of vulnerable enactments.    - The “red light” is the blocked caregiving system: the partner can't offer simple comfort even when they want to. Predictable Attachment Patterns in Caregiving  - Withdrawers as caregivers:    - “Loan out their avoidance” or self-reliance: advice, positivity, “be comfortable in your own skin.”      - This is a form of love and responsiveness, but often misattuned.    - Pursuers as caregivers:      - “Up the ante”: test, push, or kick the tires on vulnerability (“it's just words,” “you only do this in here”).      - Driven by hope and fear of being dropped again. Therapist Regulation & Preparation  - Pre‑regulate before couples sessions; expect blocks as part of the process, not a failure.  - If the therapist dysregulates, you now have three protection systems in the room. Working with Withdrawer Red Lights  - Steps:    1. Regulate yourself.        2. Offer an attuned, assertive interruption (contain the cycle).        3. Give 3–5 concrete validations of the withdrawer's strategy as attachment‑driven care.        4. Reframe the strategy's attachment function (“this is how you love/protect”).        5. Then gently move toward the part that wants to reach.      - Don't bypass the strategy; work with it as emotional material. Working with Pursuer Red Lights  - Normalize that pursuers often lash out or test the first vulnerabilities they've begged for.    - Validate their vision, hope, and fight for the relationship (3–5 validations).      - Help them notice their somatic/empathic response to the partner's pain (1% of reach or comfort).      - Avoid shaming language like “you're going to your head.” Use of Numbers & Repetition  - “Magic” 3–5 validations to regulate a nervous system.    - Sue Johnson's idea: clients often don't really hear you until about the 5th repetition. Tourniquets & Sender Protection  - After a strong send + strong red light, layer tourniquets on the sender so they:    - Feel caught and not blamed.        - Are reinforced to risk again.      - Never make the sender give up their experience just to soothe the blocked caregiver. Trusting the Caregiving System  - Leanne Campbell's idea: trusting the process = trusting the caregiving system.    - People do know how to care; the cycle paralyzes access.      - Our job is to create conditions for that caregiving instinct to re‑emerge experientially. Hope, Respect, and Attachment Change  - Both pursuer protest and withdrawer avoidance are hopeful, survival strategies.    - Change often comes through “begrudging respect”: seeing a partner fight their old pattern for the relationship.

The Real AI: Authenticity + Intention in Life and Business   In a world where AI can write emails, produce video, and even mimic your voice, the greatest competitive advantage left is being human. Brian McRae reminds us that emotional loyalty, being known, valued, remembered, is what creates opportunity, referrals, purpose, and a life of meaningful success. Social media may get you attention, but it will never create devotion. Relationships do.   If you've been feeling alone, stuck, or unsure how to expand your circle of opportunity, this conversation is your roadmap back to connection.   Key Points with Reflection Questions:  Emotional Loyalty Is More Powerful Than Marketing. Most loyalty is transactional or habitual. But emotional loyalty, the kind your favorite small restaurant gives you when they remember your name and your kids, is what transforms your business and life. Brian built an entire mortgage business through emotional loyalty created at his monthly event. Reflection Question: Who in your life deserves more intentional appreciation from you this week? Authenticity + Intentionality = The New AI. Brian says the most important "AI" in business isn't artificial intelligence. It's Authentic and Intentional actions. A handwritten note, a thoughtful question, or genuine curiosity carries more power than any automated funnel. Reflection Question: Where can you replace automation with authentic intention? The World Rewards Generosity, Not Neediness. Most networking fails because people lead with "What's in it for me?" Brian teaches the opposite: Lead with gratitude, curiosity, and generosity, and doors open that marketing can't touch. Reflection Question: What's one simple generosity action you can take in the next 24 hours? Referrals Come From Partners, Not Clients. Most people confuse their client with their referral partner. Referral partners don't want to be sold to. They want partnership, support, and value. Brian's business grew by helping other professionals grow theirs. Reflection Question: Who are your true referral partners, and how are you helping them win? Relationships Require Rhythm and Systems. You don't need the perfect CRM. You need the one you actually use. Brian says: Identify your top relationships, Create a connection plan, Put follow-up time on your calendar, Track what matters, and Your calendar reveals your priorities. Your CRM reveals your influence. Reflection Question: What relationship rhythm do you need to protect weekly? Success Requires Facing Challenges, Not Avoiding Them. Brian has worked with and coached thousands of successful people. Their secret? They don't avoid challenges — they grow through them. They look for opportunity in the obstacle. Reflection Question: What challenge are you resisting that might actually be your path to growth Faith, Wisdom, and Mentors Shape Everything. Brian openly shares that faith transformed his life, and that mentors changed his direction. Success isn't achieved alone. It's shaped by the wisdom of people who've walked the road before us. Reflection Question: Which wise voice should you be listening to more closely right now?   Money Learning from Brian McRae: Brian uses Profit First not because it's trendy, but because he never wants financial surprises again. ·       Profit First gave him:      Peace of mind      Predictable cash flow      Confidence his taxes and expenses were covered      The freedom to build a coaching business in alignment with his strengths   He described Profit First as a system that eliminates stress and supports life-aligned decisions. In Richer Soul terms: It's a structure that creates space for purpose.   Key Takeaway: Success is not built on followers, funnels, or tactics. Success is built on intentional generosity, consistent relational rhythms, and becoming someone others want to advocate for. Emotional loyalty is the last unfair advantage in a world of automation.   Bio: Brian McRae built an award-winning, referral-based mortgage practice that placed him among the top 1% of originators nationwide. But along the way, he discovered a surprising truth: success isn't about being the best salesperson in the room—it's about becoming the most trusted advisor in someone's life. Today, Brian coaches loan officers, financial advisors, and attorneys on how to build rich relationships that generate referrals and grow their businesses—without sacrificing their faith, family, or fitness. His clients learn how to attract business instead of chase it, freeing up time and energy for what matters most. Through his frameworks, the Trusted Advisor Playbook and the Momentum System, Brian gives leaders a step-by-step plan to win more clients by first winning more trust. If you want to grow your practice through trust instead of tactics, Brian is the coach who can show you how.   Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briankmcrae/   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563450897284  https://briankmcrae.com/   Which insight from Brian resonated with you the most?

Send us a textSlow seasons happen in every industry, and the salon industry is no exception. But while slow periods are predictable, panic is optional.In this episode, we talk about why seasonal slowdowns shouldn't feel shocking, why reacting emotionally makes things worse, and how both salon owners and stylists can prepare ahead of time instead of scrambling at the last minute. We break down the difference between panic and passivity, why discounting usually backfires, and how to build systems that keep your business steady year after year.We also share practical ways to use slow seasons productively: tightening systems, improving consultations, planning financially, strengthening client relationships, and maintaining strong team morale. Slow doesn't mean broken; it means you have information, time, and opportunity to improve your business.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.Slow seasons don't have to derail you — they can actually make your business stronger.Key TakeawaysSlow seasons are predictable patterns, not sudden failures.Panic and passivity are both reactive — leadership is proactive.Data and year-over-year numbers matter more than feelings.Planning removes stress when business slows.Discounts attract price-first clients, not loyal ones.Strong consultations and rebooking conversations drive stability.Marketing works when it's consistent, not reactive.Slow periods are ideal for systems, training, and leadership work.Small experience upgrades build massive client loyalty.Panic is optional — preparation is powerful.Time Stamps00:00 — Welcome + holiday context 02:00 — Jen's opening take: systems fail (even trash bags) 05:00 — Todd's opening take: gratitude, perspective, slowing down 07:00 — Slow seasons are patterns, not emergencies 09:00 — Panic vs passivity (and why neither works) 11:00 — Seasonality, weather, and predictable slowdowns 13:00 — Why confirmation bias online keeps owners stuck 15:00 — What salon owners can work on during slow periods 18:00 — Budgeting, staffing, reserves, and planning ahead 21:00 — Marketing consistency vs last-minute scrambling 23:00 — Opportunities hidden inside open schedule space 25:00 — What stylists can do to prepare before slow seasons 27:00 — Rebooking conversations that actually work 29:00 — Retention, education, referrals, and visibility 31:00 — Executing during slow seasons without panicking 33:00 — Leadership, morale, and coaching during downtime 35:00 — Social media is not a panic button 37:00 — Why discounting hurts more than it helps 41:00 — Client experience upgrades that don't involve discounts 44:00 — Small details that create loyalty 46:00 — Final thoughts: plan, embrace, panic is optionalLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

This turns Amazon into a high-performance 3PL that handles picking, packing, and shipping for orders from your own website, Shopify, or even social media stores. The "Halo Effect" of Buy with Prime: A major focus is how Buy with Prime allows D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) sites to offer the familiar Prime logo and checkout experience. By providing the same fast, free delivery promise shoppers trust on Amazon, retailers have seen an average 25% lift in conversion rates on their independent sites. Unified Inventory Management: Wainwright discusses the strategic advantage of a single pool of inventory. Instead of splitting stock between various warehouses, retailers can keep all their products in Amazon's centers to fulfill both Amazon.com orders (via FBA) and off-Amazon orders (via MCF), drastically reducing out-of-stock risks. Frictionless Checkout via Amazon Pay: With Buy with Prime, the checkout process is streamlined using the customer's existing Amazon account details. This reduces "cart abandonment" because shoppers don't have to enter credit card or shipping info, making the purchase as simple as a few clicks. Unbranded Packaging Options: A common concern for retailers is brand identity. Wainwright highlights that MCF orders can be shipped in unbranded, "blank box" packaging, allowing the retailer's brand to remain front and center rather than being overshadowed by Amazon's smile logo. Trust-Building through Reviews: Through Buy with Prime, retailers can now display their Amazon.com star ratings and reviews directly on their own websites. This social proof helps "new-to-brand" shoppers feel confident enough to buy from a site they may be visiting for the first time. Predictable, All-In Pricing: Wainwright clarifies that both services offer a simple, transparent fee structure that includes storage, picking, packing, and shipping. For many brands, this eliminates the hidden costs of managing private warehouses and allows for more accurate margin forecasting.

Send us a text (Note: we are not able to respond but LOVE to hear from you!!)There is often a version of Christmas we carry in our heads. Quiet. Cozy. Predictable. The kind that feels comforting but somehow never shows up in real life.In this episode, I talk about the grief that can surface when the Christmas you imagined does not exist and how common that experience is, especially for special needs moms. Between medical needs, disrupted routines, and the sheer weight of caregiving, the holidays can feel very different than what we expected.I share a simple framework I use to help reimagine seasons like this one. We talk about noticing when expectations are quietly hurting us, releasing the version of Christmas that no longer fits, and intentionally generating something new from the life we are actually living.This episode is an invitation to stop chasing a picture that causes pain and to create a version of Christmas that feels more honest, grounded, and possible.
