Episode blog post with video, transcript, and more My guest for Episode #535 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Gregg Stocker, a seasoned Lean practitioner, consultant, and author. Over the past 30+ years, Gregg has worked across industries, including oil and gas, energy services, manufacturing, and construction, guiding both independent operators and major corporations on their Lean journeys. He is the author of Profitable at Any Price: Lean Thinking for Safer, Cheaper, and More Responsible Oil and Gas Production and is revising his earlier book Avoiding the Corporate Death Spiral. In this conversation, Gregg shares his Lean origin story, which began with exposure to Dr. W. Edwards Deming's teachings in college and later expanded through hands-on work with Toyota. We discuss the importance of daily Kaizen, the influence of Deming's philosophy of profound knowledge, and why psychological safety and systems thinking are essential to effective Lean leadership. Gregg also reflects on his experiences helping organizations in high-risk industries such as oil and gas. He explains how Lean thinking can simultaneously drive improvements in safety, cost, and reliability -- showing that these are not trade-offs, but outcomes of a stronger system. Listeners will hear stories of transformation, lessons from Toyota, and practical insights on structured problem-solving, leadership behaviors, and building a culture where people feel safe speaking up. Whether you work in energy, healthcare, manufacturing, or any other sector, Gregg's insights are broadly applicable. This episode is a reminder that Lean isn't just about tools -- it's about leadership, systems thinking, and creating conditions for continuous improvement. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: How did you first get introduced to Lean and Deming? What did you learn from Toyota about shifting from TQM to daily Kaizen? How did senior leaders in your early company become engaged in Lean? What were your experiences attending Dr. Deming's four-day seminars? Which of Deming's principles do you wish leaders better understood today? How do systems thinking and psychology apply in high-risk industries like oil and gas? What are some Lean approaches to improving both safety and performance? What's the origin story behind your book Profitable at Any Price? How do oil and gas companies typically react to fluctuating prices, and how does Lean help? How has Lean adoption in oil and gas evolved over the past 15 years? When starting a Lean transformation, what should leaders do -- and avoid? How do you define better problem solving, beyond just tools and structure? What leadership behaviors help create psychological safety and encourage people to speak up? Can you tell us about your upcoming books and where your writing is headed next? This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network.

I'm sure you know how the math works. You've probably sat down more than once to calculate exactly what you need to charge to make a profit. There is no problem until when it is time to say that number out loud to a client. It is then that it suddenly feels almost impossible. Belive me, it is not jut you. Here's the truth: pricing is never just about the math. You can have the most perfect spreadsheet in the world, but if your mindset isn't there, none of it matters. In this episode, we're going to talk about what's happening in that gap between knowing your numbers and actually holding them in a conversation. We'll look at why fear shows up when you raise your rates, why your brain reacts like you're in danger, and how to train yourself to move through it so quoting your price feels calm and confident. Beyond that, I also share one of my favorite tools to help you anchor your value. If you've been struggling to hold firm on your rates, or if you find yourself freezing up when you get to the money conversation, this is for you. We're going past the spreadsheets and into the psychology of pricing—because the numbers are only half the story.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why fear is a normal response when you raise your prices How to retrain your brain to feel safe quoting your real number The difference between math protecting your business and mindset sustaining it How to use hero metrics to speak about your value with clarity   RESOURCES:   Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome If you want to learn how to streamline your operations so you can grow with less stress and burnout in your staging business, enrollment is open for Staging Business School Accelerate Track.

In this episode of Hot Young Designers Club, Shaun and Rebecca sit down with Jamie Young of Jamie Young Company. They dive into the wild and wonderful journey of launching their design brand nearly 28 years ago, sketching a story that blends art school daring with entrepreneurial grit—from concrete lamps to elevated, organic, globally inspired lighting, mirrors, and accent furniture. Jamie shares candid insights on balancing creativity and profitability, navigating manufacturing challenges across continents, and staying true to a brand founded on casual luxury and exceptional design.This episode unpacks the emotional and practical realities of running a design-forward business in today's turbulent global climate. Whether you're a designer, design enthusiast, or entrepreneur, Jamie's reflections on mistakes, margins, and maintaining a unique aesthetic offer both inspiration and grounded wisdom.In this episode they discuss:Jamie and her husband, David's, leap into business—starting with mixing cement lampshades and launching with just three lamps while parenting their first child.The aesthetic evolution: organic, understated luxury, working with natural materials, bespoke glazes, metals, and ceramics shaped by travel and craftsmanship.The lengthy and intricate product development process—from sourcing in South Asia, to sampling, inventory, and ensuring products are trade‑ready fast.Manufacturing challenges: product failures, warped mirrors, sampling issues, production hiccups, and how transparency and communication matter.How tariffs and global sourcing shifts act like a game of "whack-a-mole," and how Jamie Young Co. has adapted by diversifying materials and production countries.The often-overlooked truths about profitability in creative work: pricing for value, building team support for finance and operations, and maintaining creative boundaries.The importance of ego management, client-designer relationships, expectations, and the balance between being right and being done.Mentioned:Jamie Young Co. on FacebookJamie Young Co. on InstagramJamie Young Co. on LinkedInJamie Young Co. on TikTokJamie Young Co. on PinterestOur links:Subscribe and leave a review - Apple PodcastsLike, Comment, & Follow - Hot Young Designers Club InstagramRebecca's InstagramShaun's InstagramFor more information - Check out the websiteBecome a “Loyal Hottie” - Support us on PatreonDesign Resources - Check out our shop

You're growing incredible products and working harder than anyone you know, but here's the hard truth: if you're like most farmers, you haven't paid yourself a dime for your hard work all year. Here's what most farmers don't realize: marketing isn't magic. It's a skill. And there's a proven system that transforms struggling farmers into sold-out success stories. Key discoveries you'll learn: The #1 mistake on diversified farms that keeps farmers broke How to build a marketing calendar that works with your farm's natural rhythms instead of against them The three marketing assets you already have but aren't using effectively Why listening is the most important marketing skill (and 6 specific ways to do it right) The proof: One client went from six months of begging people to buy her Thanksgiving turkeys to selling out in 24 hours flat using this exact three-phase system. Look, you didn't start farming to become a marketing expert. But if you can't sell what you grow, you won't survive. The farmers who thrive aren't necessarily the best growers—they're the ones who learned how to connect their products to their customers' real problems. Stop struggling and start selling.

Key Takeaways: [03:42] Why summits continue to be a powerful authority shortcut for experts. [06:58] The visibility and revenue difference between a “list-builder” summit and a profitable summit. [10:25] How hosting a summit positions you as the authority - even if you're not the biggest name in your industry.

Stop Playing Small: Start Building a Profitable Coaching Business If you've been calling your coaching a side hustle, waiting for your big break, or endlessly “tweaking your niche” instead of making offers… this episode is for you. This week on The Coaching Edge, we're talking about what separates hobbyists from real business owners—and how to finally start treating your coaching like the profitable, purpose-driven business it's meant to be. Whether you're still in your day job, stuck in the “figuring it out” phase, or secretly hoping a podcast interview from 2022 will send you your next wave of clients (we've all been there), this episode will show you how to move forward with confidence—and actual traction. You'll learn: The 4 red flags that your business is still in “pipe dream” mode How profitable coaches think and act differently (and what that actually looks like) Why emotional blocks—like fear of being seen—can quietly stall your growth The specific actions that move you from spinning to selling How the Business Building Bootcamp helps coaches go from invisible to income-generating (with examples from real BBB grads!)

Ever catch yourself thinking, “If I raise my staging prices, will I lose clients”? You're not alone. But here's the truth: home staging costs are rising whether you like it or not…tariffs, trucking fees, replacement inventory, all of it. And if the pricing in your staging business has not changed in the last year, it's already outdated. In this episode, I break down why holding onto your old rates is quietly sabotaging your profits, your growth, and even your sanity as a staging CEO. You'll hear the mindset shifts and practical math behind raising your rates without apology (even if your brain feels terrified at first). We talk about the “hidden treadmill” of inventory costs, why undercharging stretches your break-even point forever, and the simple levers you can pull right now to protect your margins. I'll also share how to reframe price increases for your clients so they see the value, not the politics or inflation talk.

Yuval Selik is co-founder and CEO of Promomash, a software platform and managed service for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands to manage their trade promotions and field marketing activities. Yuval is a former CPG founder who encountered the expensive, complex, and crucial process of managing trade promotions with stores and distributors. Promomash launched in 2015 to serve mid-sized CPG companies that don't have custom software and their own teams to manage promotion spend and budget compliance with retailers. With 125 employees, they now serve over 500 customers with their software and optional analysts who can perform complex sell-through reconciliation and spend analysis. Yuval and his co-founder raised under $1 million from angel investors to get started, and the company is now profitable and growing steadily. Yuval also hosts The 7 Hats Podcast, which helps entrepreneurs master the seven key areas of their lives, ensuring both success and fulfillment. Quote from Yuval Selik, the founder and CEO of Promomash “That's really the reason why we did not raise funds from big investors, because I don't want to have the pressures of somebody on my board telling me that I have to grow 50%, 80%, or 100% year over year.  “Sometimes you need to pull back in order to fix your product. Sometimes you need to push forward and step on the gas a little bit. But that decision needs to be my decision, not a VC investor's decision.  “Others in our market that raised big VC funding, in our competitive landscape. They are not run by their founders; they're run by their investors”   Links Yuval Selik on LinkedIn Promomash on LinkedIn Promomash website  The 7 Hats Podcast The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.

You work hard to curate, pack, and ship your subscription box each month. But when you check your bank account, the numbers don't add up. Sound familiar? If you've been wondering why you're selling more boxes but still struggling with cash flow or not paying yourself, it's time to get serious about your pricing. So many subscription box owners start out underpricing, and it's not always intentional. You want to be affordable. You don't want to scare people away. You tell yourself you'll raise prices later. Underpricing is costing you more than you think. When you forget about packaging, shipping materials, transaction fees, your time, and even damages or reships, your “$10 profit” can quickly become $6… or nothing at all. Month after month, that tight margin leaves you stressed, resentful, and unable to grow. Take Action: Audit your current price vs. your real total cost per box. Include everything: include tape, inserts, and your time. Most box owners price from the bottom up. They add up products, tack on shipping, and call it good. But that strategy sets you up to struggle. Instead, flip it around: start with your margin goals and build your box to fit. If you charge $50 per box, that means your total cost (products, packaging, shipping, fees, fulfillment) should be no more than $20-$27.50. Once you know your limit, you can source and curate accordingly. Take Action: Reverse-engineer your price. Decide your profit margin first, then set your product budget. Even if your pricing looks solid, hidden costs can eat away at your profits. Things like: Transaction fees (PayPal, Shopify, Stripe) Shipping materials (not just postage) Software and subscriptions (Klaviyo, Canva, Shopify) Labor, including YOURS Returns, damages, and inventory overages “Small” surprises and freebies These add up fast, especially as you grow. If you don't account for them, your margin disappears. Take Action: Do a hidden cost audit this week. Write down every recurring business expense and calculate what it costs you per box. Realizing your price isn't sustainable can feel scary. But raising prices doesn't mean failure, it means leadership. Be transparent with your subscribers about the reason for the increase. Give them 30–45 days' notice. Decide if you'll grandfather in current subscribers. Consider a tiered option if needed. Yes, you may lose a few subscribers. But the ones who stay will actually be profitable, and that's how you build a business that lasts. Profitable businesses don't just change your life. They make it possible for you to keep serving your subscribers for years to come. Take Action: Choose your new price based on margin goals, set an effective date, and start your communication plan. You didn't start your subscription box to break even. You started it to make an impact, create income, and build freedom. But that only happens if your pricing supports your profit.  Download the free Box Budget Worksheet and run your numbers today.
