This month-in-review is a real behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep a sourdough microbakery going strong through a full season of life. Between homeschooling, baking at home, prepping for a brick-and-mortar space, and managing two markets plus a popup and a workshop, it's been a big month. I'm breaking down exactly where my revenue came from, what worked well, and what I'd do differently. I'll also share why adding one simple new revenue stream made such a difference — and how you can do the same, even as a home baker.I'm also getting real about where I hit capacity. From trying to do everything myself (again) to learning the hard way that help makes a huge difference, I'm pulling back the curtain on both the numbers and the realities behind them. Whether you're just starting out or deep in the thick of it, this episode will help you reflect on your own business rhythms, consider new ways to simplify or expand, and hopefully walk away with a few ideas you can put into action this week.Resources: Grab the Profit & Pricing Calculator: Simplify the math, clarify your margins, and confidently price your products. http://carolinebower.com/calculator Follow me on Instagram for more microbakery tips: @carolinebower_sourdoughFind links to all of my sourdough microbakery favorites including packaging, pans, and more! www.carolinebower.com/linksDownload the FREE Guide and Checklist, Your First Steps to a Successful In-Home Bakery at https://www.carolinebower.com/checklist to begin building YOUR thriving microbakery!

Wellness influencers are perfecting the art of turning pseudoscience into profit. Whether they're selling supplements, offering classes, or just chasing engagement, an army of wellness grifters has weaponized mistrust of institutions and Big Pharma, peddling false health claims that trick people into treatments and practices that are ineffective at best, and in some cases outright dangerous. Last week the Trump administration claimed without evidence that Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism. The science is clear that it isn't true, but that didn’t matter. Doctors pushed back, but the damage was already done—because wellness influencers pounced. They didn’t just spread the fear, they profited off it. And suddenly, one of the only safe pain relievers for pregnant women became the latest weapon in a war over women’s health. Once again, Trump and RFK Jr are playing disingenuous, dangerous political games with women's health and wellbeing. This isn’t just about Tylenol. It’s about how wellness influencers turn misinformation into a business model—and how their influence helped shape a dangerous narrative straight out of the White House. Mallory DeMille, content creator and correspondent on the podcast Conspirituality, has been pushing back against these dangerous grifters with hilarious videos and posts that make fun of their most ridiculous claims.

Imagine losing a team member who's been with you for years. Beyond the obvious recruiting costs, you're facing a cascade of hidden consequences: the training burden on your remaining team, eroding morale as staff wonder if they should be looking elsewhere, and patients noticing unfamiliar faces at every visit. That's the reality of turnover, and it's far more costly than most dentists realize.Drawing from my own practice experience—nine years of remarkable stability followed by a challenging period of departures after COVID—I've discovered that reducing turnover doesn't require complex systems or extravagant perks. It comes down to three fundamental principles that are surprisingly easy to implement but transformative in their impact.Recognition sits at the heart of retention. When I committed to giving each team member two specific compliments weekly (what I call "filling buckets"), I was shocked to discover how many quiet contributors I'd been overlooking. Creating systematic appreciation—sharing patient reviews, implementing token recognition programs, celebrating achievements—transforms recognition from an occasional afterthought to a cultural cornerstone.Regular one-on-ones provide the psychological safety team members need to express concerns before they become resignation letters. These structured conversations aren't just problem-solving sessions; they're relationship-building opportunities that demonstrate you value each person's perspective. I've consistently found that periods of team unrest coincided with lapses in these critical meetings.Finally, investing in your team's growth and creating a workplace where people genuinely enjoy their colleagues builds remarkable loyalty. People will tolerate significant workplace challenges when they love the people they work with and feel they're continuously developing professionally.Ready to transform your practice into one where people want to stay?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies, influencing policies that promote more medical interventions for children while reducing parental control The AAP's top priority is to eliminate parental authority over childhood vaccination decisions, replacing it with state or provider control Major child health issues like rising obesity, increasing autism rates, and chronic illness prevention are absent from the AAP's top 10 priorities The AAP uses rare measles outbreaks to justify removing personal and religious vaccine exemptions, despite measles mortality already being near zero before mass vaccination began Ignoring preventive strategies, the AAP's approach sets children up for lifelong dependence on pharmaceutical products rather than building lasting health

We're back with another power-packed highlight reel of our favorite conversations. In this episode, Jeff revisits big shifts shaping the partner + customer ecosystem:
I'm pulling back the curtain today for a very real and honest conversation about burnout. In this season of my life and business, I've been stretched thin and I can feel the warning signs creeping in—low energy, decision fatigue, and losing joy in the very things that once excited me. Instead of muscling through, I've been practicing what I teach: slowing down, setting boundaries, and building systems that protect my time, my family, and my love for baking. In this episode, I'm sharing what that looks like for me right now and why it matters for the longevity of your microbakery too.This isn't just theory—it's practical, actionable advice from someone walking through it in real time. I'll guide you through a simple self-audit you can use to spot burnout early, protect your energy, and take small, doable steps to restore your joy before you hit the wall. If you've been feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or on the edge of burnout, this conversation will make you feel less alone and give you tangible ways to keep your business healthy, sustainable, and aligned with the life you want to live.Resources: Grab the Profit & Pricing Calculator: Simplify the math, clarify your margins, and confidently price your products. http://carolinebower.com/calculator Follow me on Instagram for more microbakery tips: @carolinebower_sourdoughFind links to all of my sourdough microbakery favorites including packaging, pans, and more! www.carolinebower.com/linksDownload the FREE Guide and Checklist, Your First Steps to a Successful In-Home Bakery at https://www.carolinebower.com/checklist to begin building YOUR thriving microbakery!

Ty McBride comes from a long line of builders, but his grandfather urged him to forge his own path. Ty initially chased success by landing massive historic preservation contracts, only to find himself running a high-stress, low-profit “train wreck.” A sudden pivot during the pandemic pushed him back to his local community, where listening to his neighbors revealed a massive, unsolved problem: wood rot. This discovery led him to build a new business around a specialized epoxy repair service, turning a simple idea into a highly profitable and scalable national franchise.In this interview with Ryan Atkinson, Ty shares the business strategy that turned his company around. He explains how to dominate a niche business with a "mile deep, inch wide" approach, why true success lies in profitability, not just revenue, and how the "just ship it" mindset is crucial for starting a business. Don't miss these hard-won lessons on building a resilient home services company from the ground up.Takeaways:- Focus on Profit, Not Just Revenue: Build a sustainable business by prioritizing profitability from day one. As Ty states, "Revenue is for vanity, profit's for sanity."- Go a "Mile Deep and an Inch Wide": Dominate your market by becoming a specialist in a specific niche. This focus allows you to build better systems, charge premium prices, and become the go-to expert.- Adopt the "Just Ship It" Mentality: Overcome the fear of starting by taking action before you feel 100% ready. Securing the work first and then figuring out the perfect solution is a powerful way to launch your business.- Listen for Your Biggest Opportunities: Your customers' small, recurring problems can reveal massive gaps in the market. By listening carefully, you can identify a high-demand service that competitors have overlooked.- Big Contracts Can Be a Trap: Chasing the largest jobs isn't always the best business strategy. A model built on smaller, more profitable, and repeatable services can lead to greater financial stability and less stress.- Systematize One Thing Before You Diversify: Master and create efficient systems for your core service before you even consider adding another. Ensure your business can run smoothly without you before expanding your offerings.- Solve the Root Problem, Not the Symptom: A true expert digs deeper than a customer's initial request. By identifying the real underlying issue, you provide more value and build stronger trust.- Use Low-Cost Marketing to Start Lean: You can launch a successful home service business with a small budget. Targeted, "boots-on-the-ground" tactics like designing door hangers and canvassing ideal neighborhoods are highly effective for customer acquisition.- Embrace the Pivot: Be prepared to change your business model. Ty's most successful venture came after a forced pivot, proving that adaptability is essential for long-term success.- Build Your Own Legacy: Even if an opportunity in a family business exists, the greatest growth and fulfillment often come from accepting the challenge to build something entirely your own.Tags: Home Services, Entrepreneurship, Niche Business, Epoxy Floor, Profitability, RemodellingResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Ty: https://www.instagram.com/tymcbrideok/?hl=en
Her AI Era Summit: Empowering Women in AI with Kinsey and JoyceThe stats are in: men are twice as likely to use AI tools than women. And that's a problem. Not just because AI can boost productivity by 40% (hello, gender income gap!), but because AI tools are literally being trained by the people using them. If more men are using AI than women, guess whose perspective is shaping the future?That's exactly why Kinsey from Feel Good Social and Joyce from Only Boldly decided to shake things up and create Her AI Era Summit – a five-day virtual event designed specifically for women entrepreneurs ready to step into their AI power.I had the best time chatting with these two brilliant women about why women need their own seat at the AI table (spoiler: we're not just taking a seat, we're building our own table), how the "bros with Lambos" are infiltrating AI education, and why women who are already carrying the load at work and home deserve the leg up that AI can provide.We dive deep into the guilt women feel around using AI tools – because heaven forbid we make our lives easier – and why that needs to stop immediately. We also get into some fun lightning rounds about AI headshots, voice cloning, and the AI tasks that still feel like pure magic.If you've been on the fence about embracing AI in your business, this conversation will give you the push (and permission) you need to dive in.Make sure you snag your ticket to the summit, Her AI Era happening Oct 13-19: https://gemma003--heraiera.thrivecart.com/her-ai-era-summit-2025/Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Her AI Era Summit: https://gemma003--heraiera.thrivecart.com/her-ai-era-summit-2025/Only Boldly (Joyce): https://onlyboldly.comAuthentic AI for Entrepreneurs (Kinsey): https://feelgoodsocial.comChatGPT: https://openai.com/chatgptMidjourney: https://midjourney.comMake: https://make.comDescript: https://descript.comPerplexity: https://perplexity.aiYour Next Steps:Get Your Summit Ticket: https://gemma003--heraiera.thrivecart.com/her-ai-era-summit-2025/Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show

Frauen leisten den Grossteil der Arbeit in der Familie oder in Pflegeberufen. Geld gibt es dafür nicht oder zu wenig. Das ist unfair, findet die Philosophin Jule Govrin, und fordert: Wir müssen unsere Gesellschaft ganz neu denken – weg vom Profit, hin zu mehr Gemeinwohl und gelebter Gleichheit. Ungleichheit ist überall, trotz gleicher Rechte für alle. Wie also würde eine wirklich gerechte Gesellschaft aussehen, in der Frauen, Migranten und ärmere Menschen die gleichen Rechte und Chancen haben? Die Berliner Philosophin Jule Govrin hat konkrete Ideen, wie «radikale Gleichheit» gelebt werden kann: von Gemeinschaftsküchen bis zu «sorgenden Städten» wie Barcelona. Govrin setzt bei der Abhängigkeit und Verwundbarkeit unserer Körper an und fordert einen «Universalismus von unten»: Gleichheit nicht als Ideal, sondern als gelebte alltägliche Praxis, als Sorge um unsere Mitmenschen. Klingt gut. Doch wie soll das gehen, angesichts der politischen Weltlage und dem Erstarken konservativer und reaktionärer Kräfte? Darüber spricht sie mit Yves Bossart.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Bill Haas of Auto Ignite Management and Matt Wagg of Accelerated Diagnostics and Automotive, who also coaches with Auto Ignite, dive deep into a topic often overlooked yet critically important for automotive repair shops: the power of robust systems and processes. Too many shops rely on inconsistent, informal methods of “this is how we did it yesterday.” The result? Fluctuating outcomes, missed opportunities, and daily frustration. Imagine four technicians completing a Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) in four different ways, which can be confusing for staff, stressful for owners, and costly for customers. The solution is a unified process that everyone follows to deliver consistent results. “Without systems, the owner becomes the system.” Every decision rests on the owner's shoulders, trapping them in the daily grind. Leaders must shift from being “needed” to being “required”: their role is to create the environment for success, not micromanage. Systems Win Wars: As Carm Capriotto said, strong systems are the foundation of a profitable and enjoyable business. Breaking Free from Chaos: Inconsistent methods (“this is how we did it yesterday”) lead to stress, missed opportunities, and fluctuating results. The Owner's Dilemma: Without systems, the owner becomes the system. Matt Wagg's injury showed the necessity of trusting people and processes. Profit Through Process: Profitability is tied directly to defined, repeatable steps. Systems also eliminate business “friction” and make operations easier. Key Benefits of Documented Processes: Faster, smoother training & onboarding. Clear accountability for both staff and owners. Ongoing continuous improvement to adapt and grow Empower Your Team: Trust the people you've hired. Give them processes and training, then step back. Empowered teams drive success, customer satisfaction, and owner freedom. Takeaway: Strong systems aren't just about profit; they create happier teams, better customer experiences, and sustainable growth.

You've got your AI trained with your brand voice and messaging, but you're still just using it to write social posts. (Sound familiar?) But what if you could actually use AI as a brainstorming partner?If you did the foundation work from last week's episode, your AI actually knows your business well enough to help you think through bigger challenges.In this episode, we explore how to brainstorm strategically with AI—not just content topics, but messaging angles, audience concerns, and potential blind spots in your approach. And don't worry, I also cover AI's significant limitations that most people ignore, like its built-in biases and tendency to tell you what you want to hear. The goal is using AI to think more thoroughly while staying in control of all strategic decisions.You in?
