Podcasts about Profit

Why do so many Americans feel powerless, lonely, and disconnected — and what does that have to do with our economy? Senator Chris Murphy joins Nick and Goldy to discuss his new book, Crisis of the Common Good, which makes the case that America's political crisis is inseparable from a deeper collapse of power, connection, and shared purpose. They dig into the “cult of profit,” Market Humanism, AI, scarcity, corruption, and the limits of an economy organized around efficiency and extraction. It's a conversation about what happens when profit becomes the highest measure of success, and what it would mean to build an economy rooted in dignity, connection, and the common good.

What if the thing you are most proud of in your business is also the thing quietly draining it?Amanda Signorelli and Nick McMillan took over the Golden Steer in 2019, the oldest steakhouse in Las Vegas, open since 1958. Neither of them came from restaurants. They came from tech, inherited a brand with more history than margin, and had exactly one year to learn the business before COVID shut it down.In this conversation, we get into why they rebuilt the financial model from scratch instead of fixing the old one, why none of us have any business running their own social media, and the lessons learned growing the brand to new markets.If you are sitting on a brand people love and numbers that do not work, this one is for you.To learn more about Golden Steer, visit goldensteer.com._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

This week, we're shifting gears. The busy season is upon us, and from now straight through the holidays, we're all going to be chasing our tails in one way or another - with marketing, with sessions, or even just with general pre- and mid-holiday chaos. So instead of hitting you each week with a longer, meatier episode, I've put together a series we're calling "Stories & Shorties." These are bite-sized tips and stories from some of my favorite photographers and educators, intended to give you those little boosts of business-focused inspiration you need each week.  We're kicking things off with a fantastic, outside-the-box strategy from Lyndsay McNiff, who realized the hardest part of her busy season sessions wasn't the time she spent shooting... it was everything around it: wrangling kids off the bus, prepping dinner, handing things off to her husband, and loading the car. Thanks to the strategy she's sharing today, Lyndsay is able to manage four to six sessions a week while keeping up with soccer games and family dinners.  This is one of those creative business solutions that's almost too simple to believe, and will leave you wondering why you didn't think of it first!Resources:New to the podcast?

This week, Sarah Segal tells David C. Barnett and Jay Goltz that she has decided it's time to pay more attention to something that can occasionally get lost amid the other demands of running a business: making money. Sarah's agency is having a very good year, with revenue growing 40 to 50 percent. But she's realized that growth alone isn't enough. She wants to know exactly what it costs to hire each employee, what it costs to service each client, whether her fees are covering those costs—and what has to change if she's going to hit a 20 percent profit margin. She's also confronting something a lot of owners struggle with: how much to pay herself. For years, Sarah says, she's been inclined to put the money back into the business rather than pay herself a market rate salary. Now she's trying to do both—raise her own compensation while making the business more profitable.Along the way, Sarah, Dave, and Jay weigh in on how owners can fool themselves about profitability, why growing businesses eventually require real budgets, and what owners should actually expect from their banks. Is a bank merely a safe place to park your cash, or can you expect it to help you finance and build your business?Plus: When should a new business start paying its owner a salary? Dave argues that until a business can pay the owner for the work he or she is doing, it's more of a hobby than a business. He also explains how entrepreneurs can get trapped in money-losing businesses—not necessarily because they still believe in the business, but because loans, leases, and personal guarantees can make shutting down even more expensive than continuing to operate. The episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank.

Money can start the engine.Purpose is what keeps it running when business gets hard.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why companies built around a meaningful mission can create stronger endurance, better teams, and deeper customer loyalty than businesses driven by profit alone.Fast money can be motivating in the beginning.But when the market shifts, competition increases, or the business enters a difficult season, shallow motivation disappears quickly.That is where purpose becomes leverage.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why greed alone is a weak long-term source of motivation• How a clear mission helps founders endure difficult seasons• Why talented people are more likely to rally behind a meaningful vision• How genuine commitment to customer success can strengthen loyalty and referralsThe truth is simple:Revenue matters.Profit matters.But they become far more powerful when they are attached to something bigger.Define the problem your company exists to solve.Give your team a reason to care.Make your customers feel that their success genuinely matters.When the mission is strong enough, it gives everyone involved a reason to keep pushing when the numbers alone are not enough.Lead with purpose.Serve the market.Let the money follow the value you create.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3UKOOfH David Bahnsen hosts the final Friday Dividend Cafe of August as a part two discussion tied to his new book, "Profit for the Profit," outlining the philosophy and application of dividend growth investing and responding to common critiques. He argues investors should seek returns from the underlying profit-making enterprise rather than sentiment-driven momentum, and that dividend growth helps focus on individual company profits and reduces emotional extremes. He addresses five objections: buybacks as superior capital return (unreliable, often suspended, and frequently offset by share issuance); dividends as tax-inefficient (many accounts aren't taxable, and dividends can improve behavior versus large embedded gains); dividends making companies “poorer” (stewardship and reinvestment choice matter); Berkshire not paying dividends (it receives dividends as a holding company); and dividends being only for retirees (starting earlier captures yield-on-cost compounding). 00:00 Welcome and Book Launch 03:08 Why Dividend Growth Matters 06:59 Common Critiques Overview 08:35 Buybacks Versus Dividends 13:17 Dividends and Taxes 15:32 Does Paying Dividends Reduce Value 19:31 The Berkshire Dividend Myth 20:57 Dividend Growth for Young Investors 24:19 Closing Thoughts and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

We welcome Marise May, co-founder and Co-CEO of Cha's Organics, maker of Canada's top-selling organic coconut milk, and the driving force behind the brand's elephant conservation work in Sri Lanka. With a deep focus on ethical sourcing, regenerative agriculture, and building purpose into profit, she helps founders and mission-driven brands break past buzzwords, stay financially disciplined, and build something that actually lasts.In this deep-dive conversation, Marise reveals what it really takes to keep a purpose-driven brand alive, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from twenty years building Cha's Organics into a fixture on shelves at Costco, Whole Foods, and Erewhon. She shares actionable strategies, from surviving a shipping crisis that sent container costs from $4,000 to $18,000, to the factoring deal that gets her paid by Costco in days instead of months, and explains why she believes profit isn't the enemy of purpose, it's what makes purpose possible.Topics DiscussedPurpose vs. Profit.Spotting Impact Washing: How to tell when a brand's values are real. The $18K Container: Staying profitable and keeping every fair trade promise.The Costco Factoring Trick: How import brands get paid in days instead of waiting on 90-day retail terms.Monkey Labor-Free Sourcing: The hidden coconut industry practice most shoppers have never heard of.Restoring an Ancient Elephant Habitat: Rebuilding a Sri Lankan reservoir to stop the human-elephant conflict at its root.Relationships Over Pitch Decks: Why knowing your buyer, your store manager, and your consumer matters more than the product itself.Trust Your Gut, Not the Trend: Reading past social engineering and corporate-funded science to make calls that actually hold up.Connect with Marise on LinkedInConnect with Cha's Organics on InstagramConnect with Sebastian on InstagramSebastianNaum.com

Following a historic $17 billion settlement reached between Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, and 47 states, social media platforms face landmark changes aimed at curbing tech addiction and protecting children from predatory features. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Attorney Mark Lanier join to discuss why the Kids Online Safety Act is needed to make these safety restrictions permanent across all platforms, how legal action succeeded where congressional action stalled, and what parents can do to protect their children from the dangers of social media. With the midterm elections growing closer, political candidates are leveraging high-profile endorsements. But in an era of hyper-polarization and fractured media channels, do these political stamps of approval truly change voters' minds, or do they simply reinforce pre-existing beliefs? Northeastern University Distinguished Professor of political science Costas Panagopoulos joins Fox's Alex Hogan to discuss the true weight of endorsements in modern American politics.

There are people you meet once and think about for years. Codie Sanchez is one of mine. She is the founder of Contrarian Thinking, a Forbes 2026 Top Creator, and one of the most powerful voices in business on the internet, the rare person in her world who says the quiet part out loud instead of selling you the highlight reel. A New York Times bestseller with a nine-figure portfolio of businesses most people will never see the inside of, and a way of talking that makes you sit up straight. So I asked her the thing I actually wanted to know. What's the most dishonest part of the entrepreneurship dream we're all being sold? And she did not flinch. We get into why most business owners don't run their businesses, their businesses run them. Why the thing you build to give you freedom so often ends up with you by the throat. The vacation test that Gary and I failed miserably. And her whole argument, the one behind her new book Own or Be Owned, that being needed is not the same thing as being free, and most of us confuse the two until it's very expensive to learn the difference. But this one got personal fast, because Codie is about to become a mother for the first time, at the exact moment she's releasing the biggest work of her career. So we talked about what happens to a woman who built the whole machine when she has to evolve into a different woman for the next chapter. Running a business with your husband. Softness and power, and how they actually meet in leadership. Whether we even want it all, or whether we've just never been asked what we actually want. This is for the woman who is burned out, or tired, or quietly talked herself out of starting the thing. The one who suspects most of what she sees online is a little bit fake, and is right. Codie is proof you can build the business and still have the life, but only if you're honest with yourself about which life that is first. This is Codie Sanchez.

#336 This bite-sized solo episode explains why profit should not be treated as one pile of money to spend at will. Billy shares a simple framework for assigning every dollar of profit a purpose, so business owners can avoid tax surprises, manage debt, build reserves, and grow with more control. He uses a real-life tax bill as the trigger for the discussion and breaks the topic into five practical jobs of profit that matter for any business owner, especially gym owners. Key topics In this episode, Billy introduces the "jobs of profit" framework and explains why profit needs to be divided intentionally instead of paid out immediately. Taxes come first - Billy says the IRS effectively gets paid before the owner does, so set aside a percentage of each dollar of profit in a separate tax savings account. Owner distributions are a legitimate use of profit - after paying yourself a reasonable operating salary, some profit can be taken as an owner draw or distribution. Sinking funds help cover large purchases - instead of relying on debt for equipment or other major expenses, profit can be reserved over time for future needs. Debt repayment is not a business expense - principal payments come from after-tax profit, so a business that only breaks even may still not have enough cash to service debt. A cushion creates margin and flexibility - Billy recommends aiming for roughly three months of operating expenses to protect against slow months and surprise costs. Profit can fund intentional growth - with reserves in place, businesses can expand locations, hire staff, add programs, or seize opportunities without scrambling. The main warning: Billy says many owners make the mistake of giving profit only one job, usually owner pay, which leaves them exposed on taxes, debt, and future expenses. Notable quotes "Profit has different jobs." "The IRS is the epitome of pay yourself first." "Be greedy when other people are fearful." Take the Gym Owner Financial Health Check, which will show you exactly where you need to focus.  

Are you running a profitable interior design business—or are you simply hoping you are? In this candid conversation, Kimberley Seldon sits down with interior designer and former financial advisor Erin Hackett Nordholt to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing design firm owners: protecting profit. Together, they unpack the hidden habits that quietly erode profitability—from underestimating freight and absorbing unexpected costs to avoiding project post-mortems and convincing yourself that "breaking even" is good enough. If you've ever hesitated to look closely at your numbers or assumed a project was profitable because it felt successful, this episode will challenge you to think differently. Because building a thriving interior design business isn't about staying positive—it's about facing the numbers, learning from every project, and creating systems that protect your bottom line. In this episode we learn: - Why "toxic positivity" may be the biggest threat to your interior design business - How hidden costs like freight, tariffs, and procurement mistakes quietly destroy profit margins - Why every design firm should conduct a post-project financial review to improve future profitability - How understanding your numbers leads to better pricing, stronger systems, and more confident business decisions - Why profitable interior designers stop apologizing for making money—and start protecting their margins - How small financial improvements compound into a stronger, more sustainable design business

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3U6PdsL David Bahnsen opens from The Bahnsen Group's new Santa Barbara (Montecito) office, briefly recaps markets (Dow up ~0.25%, S&P down ~0.25%, Nasdaq down ~0.75% led by semiconductors; staples and financials up, tech down), and argues recent 10-year yield trading has been relatively range-bound. He focuses on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's announced 30-year Treasury buybacks ($2B now, potentially $4B in September) aimed at lowering long-end rates and term premium, likening it to an “Operation Twist” style intervention. Bahnsen says the move briefly lowered the 30-year yield about 10 bps but largely failed and is unlikely to work long term, criticizing government attempts to override market price discovery. He attributes higher long yields mainly to 30-year market illiquidity and new competing long-dated issuance from AI hyperscalers. He also covers U.S.-Canada tariff threats and retaliation, upcoming data/events (PCE, durable goods, Nvidia earnings, Warsh at Jackson Hole), WTI down ~2.5% near $85, and promotes his new book, “Profit from the Prophet,” releasing tomorrow. 00:00 Welcome From Montecito 01:06 Market Snapshot Today 01:38 Is Bond Volatility Overstated 02:58 Treasury Buyback Plan Explained 05:53 Did It Work Short Term 06:59 Can It Work Long Term 07:55 Why Long Yields Rose 12:05 Concerns About Intervention 13:52 Tariffs Canada Trade Spat 15:30 Week Ahead Data And Jackson Hole 16:27 Book Launch And Wrap Up Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4cNKVg3 David Bahnsen hosts the Friday Dividend Cafe from Southern California and previews his new book, Profit from the Profit, releasing Tuesday, explaining it reflects the same message he has shared weekly since starting the commentary during the September 2008 financial crisis and later branding it Dividend Cafe in 2015. He outlines an investment philosophy focused on connecting client outcomes to real business profits and prioritizing what companies do over market sentiment, arguing dividend growth investing seeks sustainable returns from company cash flows and dividends rather than relying on investor psychology. Bahnsen explains why he discusses macro headlines even though he avoids frequent portfolio changes, emphasizing a bottom-up approach intended to be insulated from news. He recounts learning these lessons after the dot-com bust and highlights dividend growth's withdrawal and accumulation benefits, with upcoming book topics including taxes, volatility, and how investors should profit from profits via durable dividends. 00:00 Welcome and Book Launch 01:04 How Dividend Cafe Began 03:03 Core Philosophy of Profits 06:12 Sentiment Versus Fundamentals 09:22 News Commentary Without Trading 11:59 Personal Journey to Dividends 15:13 Key Themes From the New Book 17:01 Closing Thanks and Commitment Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

I met Lamar Tyler, founder of Traffic Sales & Profit, a couple of years ago at a Zone of Genius conference, where I interviewed him on the main stage. It quickly became clear that Lamar, who helps business owners grow, had a lot of smart, practical advice to offer, and I've been following him ever since. He recently posted something on LinkedIn that stopped me: “Staying small as a Black business owner is selfish.” Lamar, obviously, was speaking primarily to Black entrepreneurs, but his challenge applies more broadly. His argument is that owners who have the ability to build larger companies—and create more jobs, wealth, and opportunity—should not use “protecting their peace” or “staying lean” as an excuse to remain comfortable.I understand and appreciate what Lamar is trying to accomplish. But “selfish” is a heavy word. Isn't an owner entitled to say, “I built this business to create a good life for myself and my family. Isn't that enough?” Entrepreneurship is already hard. Most businesses fail. How much more risk should we encourage owners to take—and how much responsibility should they be expected to carry? That's where Lamar and I begin this week's Dashboard conversation. The episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank.

Neither had roofed a day in their lives — then they bought a roofing company and doubled it. Tim Wilde and his wife Sasha bought Sexton Roofing & Siding in Western Massachusetts in 2023 — a 40-year-old brand the previous owner ran solo at about $2 million a year, working 16-hour days, seven days a week. Neither of them had ever roofed: Tim came out of corporate pharmaceutical-construction consulting, and Sasha has an MBA and always wanted to run a business. When a corporate takeover pushed Tim out, and a friend showed them you could simply buy a business, they did. The first year nearly broke them. They priced with “a finger in the air,” had no idea what a good margin was, and kept winning on low bids. Then they found CertainPath — Tim signed up at a Profit Day on the spot — and the turnaround began: fixing their pricing first, then rebuilding sales around an in-home, one-call-close process. Two years in, they've doubled the business past $4 million, they're targeting $6.5 million, and Tim personally sold $2 million to become a CertainPath roofing crown champion. And it's 100% woman-owned — Sasha owns it outright, and Tim jokes he's “just cheap labor.” In this conversation, you'll discover: How two people with zero trade experience bought a 40-year-old roofing company off a broker Why the acquisition was tougher than they expected — and what they'd do differently The “finger in the air” pricing mistake CertainPath fixed first How moving to an in-home presentation unlocked one-call closes Why being the most thorough person at the door — the one who actually goes in the attic — wins the job The CertainPath training moment that took Tim from “doing sales completely wrong” to a crown champion How they think about growth: taking “a smaller piece of a larger pie” Whether you run a roofing, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical company, Tim and Sasha's story shows how to buy a business, raise your prices, and build a sales process that actually closes. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

UnitedHealthcare posted $5.5 billion in profit this quarter. Another state just opted out of physician supervision requirements. And CMS quietly gutted what's left of anesthesia's quality reporting program. Joseph A. Rodriguez, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer at Guide Anesthesia, is joined by Randy Moore, Chief Anesthetist Officer and Executive Vice President for Strategy, and Gary Keeling, VP Business Development at Coronis Revenue Cycle Management, for a wide-ranging read on where anesthesia economics are actually headed. They don't agree on how much of this changes practice on the ground. That's the point. Ohio becomes the 27th opt-out state, and the three break down why the practical impact rarely matches the headline. CMS's 2027 proposed rule drops the conversion factor again and dismantles MIPS reporting, Gary explains why almost nobody hits the threshold anymore. UnitedHealthcare's quarterly numbers spark a sharper conversation about what a 7% margin on $112 billion in revenue actually signals about the system underneath it, and about the difference between a flawed idea and a poorly executed one. A new rural healthcare bill promising higher CRNA and anesthesiologist reimbursement gets a clear-eyed "it won't work" from all three. Plus: the pre-op smoking conversation nobody has ever actually had, and why "productivity, not cost" might be the real headline healthcare keeps missing. TAKEAWAYS Opt-out status changes almost nothing for practice models outside of all-CRNA sites already considering the switch. The headline outruns the operational impact by a wide margin. MIPS in anesthesia has become a check-the-box exercise with no measurable link to patient outcomes. Most providers no longer even hit the reporting threshold. Every CMS reimbursement cut gets absorbed the same way: pushed onto facility subsidies, which raises the cost of entry for new and smaller groups and accelerates consolidation. A rural anesthesia reimbursement bump sounds like an access fix but doesn't change the math for anesthesiologists or hospitals. Small percentages of small numbers stay small. Extreme profit sitting next to a broken system is not proof that free enterprise failed. It's proof that execution failed. Confusing the two is what pushes public opinion toward bad solutions. Healthcare's financial strain reads as a cost problem when it's actually a productivity problem. Fix throughput and OR utilization, and a large share of the "cost crisis" narrative disappears.
