Many pharmacy owners invest in expensive technology but fail to fully utilize the system's secondary and valuable features. This is a costly mistake!  It leaves significant operational efficiencies and profit opportunities unrealized. This program also invites managers to carefully review their tech vendor invoices to ensure new charges have not been added or that fees have not been quietly increased for features in their software agreements. Kevin Minassian, President of DataScan, notes his company provides a wide range of profit-enhancing services at no additional cost while competitors often add additional fees.

He is the co-founder of Honu Worldwide and Innovative Product Development, Sourcing and 3PL company based in Pennsylvania. Afolabi has always been a has always been passionate about finding things, haggling and negotiating prices. His obsession with finding good quality products at bargain prices led him to help several seven and eight figure brands increase their profits and scale rapidly by buying smart from Asia and the US. He is behind the successful launches of several multi-million dollar products on Amazon and other retail channels. An entrepreneur at heart, Afolabi owns and has sold a few seven figure private label brands. He loves helping people design, develop and manufacture innovative products. Welcome to the show.Afolabi 00:00:53  Thank you Josh. I'm happy to be here. I'm excited.Josh 00:00:56  You know, if you were to restart on Amazon, which I think that's what you're doing now, is you're creating some new brands and launching them on Amazon. What are some of those lessons, actionable takeaways that you can give to other sellers to say, hey, here are the challenges that we faced at different points in the business, that I'm going to make sure that we don't go through these same challenges again in the future.Josh 00:01:20  If you wouldn't mind breaking some of those lessons learned for us. Breaking it down.Afolabi 00:01:25  I'm going to, if I were to start all over again, I'm also going to weave some stories and past experiences into it. So when somebody goes into E-comm, you're starting your e-commerce or you're starting your Amazon business. Sometimes we forget the reason why we started in the first place. We forget the reason why we quit our jobs and we went into e-commerce. For me, my main driver was freedom. I wanted freedom, I wanted to be. I wanted to be able to control my time. I wanted to be able to be there for my family any day, any time. I wanted to be able to take off. If I want to take off, I want to take off, you know? Yeah. So you start this e-com business and you're married to it. You know, you're you're you're waking up 3 a.m. in the morning. You're, you know, you're sleeping late at night. So eventually it defeats the purpose of why you started in the first place.Afolabi 00:02:21  So we found ourselves caught up in all those things. You know, me and my business partner, we would fight each other. You know why? Why? You know why are we running out of stock? I'm like, I didn't know that product was going to run out of stock, you know? You know, we didn't have a good system in place and we didn't have the freedom or anything. So going back now, looking back to where we came from to now, there are three things I'm going to do differently this time. First, I'm going to innovate. Second, I'm going to automate. Third, I'm going to have a lot of free time to think. Because for me, I believe that thinking time is a very creative time. I believe that your rest time is very important. People ask me, you know, you know, jokingly, maybe I'm speaking to Norm, I mean, Norm. You know, there's my business partner on you. You know, he picks, you know, he picks up on me a lot.Afolabi 00:03:19  He's like, hey, I love you. What did you do this weekend? I'm like, no, I did nothing. I just sat on my couch and I was watching soccer all day. I was not doing nothing. You know, sometimes he calls me. I said, I'm going to stop disturbing me. I'm on the field with my son. We're playing soccer here. Please. You know. Yeah.Josh 00:03:41  So, yeah.Afolabi 00:03:42  Freedom. Time to spend time with your loved one is very important. So I'll make sure that this time I automate so that I can free up myself to do whatever I want whenever I wanted to do it. I don't want anything just pressuring me down all the time. Because when I'm thinking I'm creating things that are so valuable in my rest time. Yeah, I could be sitting on a lounge. I mean, on a on a on a recliner. And you, you know, you when you're relaxed, when your mind is at rest, you so many creative ideas come to you and you can look into your business and, and actually spot all the things you are doing wrong when you're in a relaxed mode, you know?Josh 00:04:26  Yeah.Josh 00:04:27  So you're you're kind of three takeaways then, right? If you were to restart would be to innovate, automate and then have more time for thinking and just downtime in general. Right. So...

In this episode of Masters of Moments, Jake Wurzak sits down with Ethan Orley to unpack his unconventional path into boutique hotel development and management. What started as a post-GFC leap of faith on a 28-room hotel in Knoxville evolved into a design-driven hospitality platform focused on secondary and tertiary markets. Ethan shares how creativity, operational intensity, and disciplined real estate underwriting intersect in his approach to building distinctive properties that stand out without overextending on risk. From bootstrapping a speakeasy with six frat guys and free beer to navigating brand partnerships, third-party management, and the realities of food and beverage, Ethan offers a candid look at what it really takes to create and operate memorable hotels. He reflects on design storytelling, the importance of basis and incentives, and why sometimes the best opportunities are found off the radar. They discuss: How Ethan went from distressed debt and apartments to boutique hotels in secondary markets The role of design narrative and storytelling in creating differentiated hospitality experiences Why basis, incentives, and downside protection matter more than chasing hot markets Lessons learned from building and operating in-house management versus using third parties The hard truths of hotel food and beverage and what separates a struggling outlet from a profitable one Connect & Invest with Jake: Follow Jake on X: ⁠https://x.com/JWurzak⁠ 1 on 1 coaching with Jake: ⁠https://www.jakewurzak.com/coaching⁠ Learn How to Invest with DoveHill: ⁠https://bit.ly/3yg8Pwo⁠ Links: Oliver Hospitality - https://www.oliverhospitality.com/ Ethan on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethanorley/ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:0:22) - Why hotels: operations, design passion, and real estate upside (00:06:02) - Winning in secondary & tertiary markets (00:12:54) - Betting on ‘mixed' markets (00:16:44) - Indie vs. branded hotels (00:27:20) - Finding deals without a fund (00:32:17) - Design & storytelling (00:36:03) - Crafting the hotel's storyline (00:42:03) - When to use third-party management (00:48:50) - Outsourcing accounting & SOPs (00:52:40) - Food & beverage reality check (01:02:05) - Non-negotiables in new builds (01:07:13) - Favorite hospitality experience

In This Episode Most companies attend trade shows hoping for leads. Samantha McGuiness builds systems that turn events into predictable appointment engines. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Samantha about how to structure face-to-face marketing so it consistently produces measurable results. Samantha explains that success at events is not about showing up. It is about hiring intentionally, training systematically, and following a repeatable qualification process. From recruitment scripts to booth engagement, everything must be deliberate. Adi and Samantha dive into common mistakes, including hiring out of desperation, asking ineffective opening questions, and staffing booths with the wrong roles. Samantha shares how a simple shift from asking "What brings you to the show?" to directly qualifying with targeted questions dramatically increases engagement and conversion. The conversation reinforces a systems-driven truth: event marketing should not be occasional or random. When built as a structured, year-round department with clear KPIs and defined ownership, it becomes one of the most profitable growth channels in a business.

Two overlooked “levers” helped Kent Ritter scale past 1,000 multifamily units—and most operators have never even thought of them. One helps you keep tenant turnover low, slashes your CapEx costs by 30%, and keeps your cash flow flowing. The other allows you to build properties for cheaper, do less capital raising, and get on the local government's good side. Even if you've heard of these tactics, you probably haven't tried them. Today, Kent Ritter from Hudson Investing discusses two strategies most operators overlook: in-house property management and public-private partnerships (P3s). First, Kent gives one of the best arguments for self-managing your assets: it keeps tenants for longer, creates more durable cash flow, and has massively lowered his expenses. Plus, he shares a new AI tool that is speeding up leasing and keeping his staff costs near rock-bottom. Next, the $2,000,000+ benefit Kent's team is receiving from public-private partnerships (P3). These P3 partnerships allow him to build with less pushback, raise capital faster (and easier), and bring positive change to the cities he's investing in, further pushing up his property values. Insights from today's episode: The true cost of an average property manager and why Kent switched to in-house Receiving millions in incentives from local governments with public-private partnerships How to save 30%+ on your CapEx costs by simply putting your own people in place  Why your property isn't performing as well as you thought it would (you can fix this) Property management tech to use (and avoid) and a new AI tool Kent highly recommends  How to pinpoint the best public-private partnerships and which towns want you to build  — Connect with Kent on LinkedIn Invest with Hudson Investing Follow Kent on Instagram Ritter on Real Estate Podcast  EliseAI Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Dahlia tuber sales can look like easy off-season income until you are staring at piles of tubers, shipping chaos, and spreadsheets everywhere. In this episode of the Six Figure Flower Farming Podcast, Jenny breaks down why tuber sales only become profitable when you treat them like a real product with clear margins, systems, and boundaries. She walks through how to decide if dahlia tuber sales even make sense for your farm, how to price with labor and shipping fully accounted for, and why cash flow is only helpful if it is not quietly draining your time and energy. From inventory tracking to batching shipments and setting up an efficient packing flow, this episode focuses on making dahlia tuber sales sustainable, efficient, and supportive of long term flower farm profitability rather than something that runs you into the ground.Join me at the Profitable Dahlia Summit March 3rd & 4th, 2026: Register HERE Find high quality dahlia tubers starting Tuesday March 24th, 2026: www.trademarksflowers.com Mentioned Episodes: Episode 15: How efficiencies on the farm can earn you more money Episode 39: How to implement systems (to get your time back and make more money) Episode 17: Simple ways to find and attract your ideal customer Did you enjoy this episode?

After a long pause, I'm returning with conversations about what creativity is actually for. Not just how to grow faster or sell more, but why making matters in the first place.In this episode, I sit down with UK textile artist and founder of No Rules Textile Society, Jayne Emerson.

Softer doesn't mean weak.David breaks down how DTH salons operate with less chaos and higher profitability by removing double booking, eliminating retail pressure, and focusing on time-based pricing, shared space, and intentional systems.

In this episode of the Real Estate Pros Podcast, host Michelle Kesil interviews John Bonillas, a general contractor and real estate investor who specializes in buying properties through Texas tax foreclosure auctions. John shares how he transitioned from spending thousands on real estate seminars to finding real opportunities in property tax foreclosures. He explains how tax auctions work in Texas, including bidding rules, registration requirements, and redemption periods. John highlights the benefits of buying distressed properties at a lower price point, leveraging his construction background to rehab homes efficiently, and converting properties into profitable Airbnbs.

In this episode, host Travis Chappell sits down with Seth Silvers, founder and CEO of Story On, one of the premier podcast production agencies helping businesses build authority through storytelling. Seth and his team work with top-tier creators and brands—including Alex Hormozi, Leila Hormozi, and Patrick Lencioni—and support numerous Top 100 business podcasts. Seth shares his journey from taking on almost any marketing work he could find to building a premium podcast agency, along with hard-earned lessons on pricing, positioning, and why podcasting is one of the most powerful long-term branding tools available today. On this episode we talk about: How Seth accidentally turned podcasting into a full-time business Using podcasts to build trust and credibility (even without massive downloads) Why most podcasters struggle to monetize—and a better path forward Structuring service offers and pricing without racing to the bottom The future of podcasting: video, branding, and podcasts as a business asset Top 3 Takeaways: Podcasting creates a “transfer of trust.” When people see you show up with quality, they assume you bring that same standard to everything you do. Pricing clarity changes everything. Seth credits implementing ideas from Profit First as a major turning point in getting out of debt and building a sustainable business. Premium clients care more about results than price. Solving higher-level problems for established businesses beats competing on cost every time. Notable Quotes “People see you show up in a quality way, and they transfer that trust to everything else you do.” “If you want us to actually do it for you, it's going to be a premium—but we also have resources for every level.” “Podcasting isn't a quick customer-acquisition tool. It's a multi-channel brand that builds trust over years.” Connect with Seth Silvers: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethsilvers/ Website: storyon.co Blog: https://storyon.co/blog Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Great clinician, anemic bank account? Let's identify the real reason you're stuck: you are pricing like a hobbyist. In this episode, I'll show you how offers, boundaries, overhead math, and a clear niche help you finally pay yourself without burning out or working 60-hour weeks. Inside this episode, I walk you through the five "financial anemia" culprits I see over and over in clinical practices, and the mindset shift that changes everything: people don't pay for functional medicine… they pay for outcomes. We'll talk about building a real offer (not just fee-for-service), reverse-engineering the monthly "nut" you have to crack, plugging time leaks with clean boundaries, and why becoming a specialist makes you a necessity (not a commodity). If you've ever thought, "I just can't charge that," this one's for you. Ready to address your biggest leak first?  Download the free Practice Vitals Checkup now.

Send in a question: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/askCheck out Say Yes to Desire: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/desireCheck out Sacred Systems: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacredIn this episode, I dive into the real, no-fluff story behind how I started creating digital and printable planners, journals, etc. It all began as a solution for my own life. I break down the difference between chasing market trends versus actually solving your own problems, and why that shift makes your work meaningful (and profitable). We also explore my money journey, from messy beginnings to learning about investing through resources like "The Simple Path to Wealth," and how changing my identity from “work harder” to “make my money work for me” unlocked freedom. The option to work less isn't a milestone you have to earn from years of suffering and "paying your dues". It's about healing, honoring yourself, and building systems that support real transformation.

Most flower farmers know how to grow beautiful bouquets but where things fall apart is pricing them in a way that actually supports a profitable, sustainable farm business. In this episode of the Six Figure Flower Farming Podcast, Jenny Marks walks through why “fair” pricing and competitor comparison often lead to undercharging, and why confidence in pricing comes from data, not gut feelings. She breaks down the real costs bouquet pricing must cover, including production, labor, overhead, and profit, and explains why separating emotion from math is essential if you want long term financial security on your flower farm. This episode is all about giving flower farmers a clear framework and a simple starting action step to price bouquets for profit without burning out or racing to the bottom.

Does summer feel like the season where you hold your breath, cross your fingers, and hope fall enrollment fixes everything?  For so many studio owners, summer looks busy. Camps are running, kids are in the building, but behind the scenes, cash flow feels unpredictable, margins feel thin, and there's a quiet anxiety that summer might actually be hurting the business instead of helping it.  In this episode of the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast, Olivia Mode-Cater is joined by Inner Circle coach and longtime studio owner Annie Leese to reframe summer completely. Annie shares how she stopped reacting to summer and started intentionally designing it, transforming what used to be a stressful season into a reliable, profitable part of her studio's year.  This conversation isn't about adding more programs or working longer hours. It's about meeting families where they actually are, making small strategic shifts, and building a summer structure that supports your studio year-round.  You'll hear:  Why summer often feels financially unstable even when camps are full  How Annie designed summer programs around real family needs  Why small, data-driven tweaks outperform full program overhauls  How flexibility, aftercare, and scheduling choices impact enrollment  What it takes to stop taking low enrollment personally and start responding strategically  How a thoughtful summer strategy can support both cash flow and freedom   If you've ever caught yourself saying "that doesn't work" when it comes to summer, this episode will challenge you to get curious and help you see what's actually possible.   Annie Leese is a seasoned studio owner and Inner Circle coach who has built an exceptional reputation in the dance industry. As the CEO and artistic director of Performing Arts Academy of Marin (PAM) in Mill Valley, California, she has turned her passion for dance and the performing arts into a thriving business that attracts students from all over the region.

Hey everyone! I had the most amazing time talking with Charlotte Muller, the Founder of Breathe Strength Wellness. We dove deep into hosting memberships and covered the pros and cons. Personally, I love having TFS Membership which is my monthly marketing membership. It allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level and provide accessible marketing advice, however, it takes a lot of work! Charlotte and I discussed what it takes to make a membership not only profitable but with low turnover and immensly valuable. We talked about how you can analyze social media stats to understand what your followers enjoy which can spark ideas of how to grow your business. We also discussed how she grew her business during Covid and so much more. Follow Charlotte Muller and Breathe Strength Wellness on Instagram HERE.Download my app!

Most entrepreneurs are obsessed with the wrong number and chasing "Total Revenue" like it's the ultimate trophy, but I'm going to tell you something that might hurt a little: Revenue is a vanity metric.  The truth is if you're making a million dollars but it costs you $950,000 to get it, you don't have a business, you have a high-stress hobby!  In this episode, we walk you through the exact framework we use to keep our operations tight and our margins high, including the one number that actually grants you freedom (and no, it's not your bank balance). We look at  the "natural drift" of waste that quietly bleeds most businesses dry and the specific expenses that actually scale your life, not just your workload. If you've ever felt like you're asleep at the wheel of your financials or you're exhausted from trying to out-earn your own overspending, this is your wake-up call. It's time to stop throwing money at your problems and start mastering the mechanics that actually support the life you want, so let's do this!  If you haven't yet signed up for my free weekly newsletter for online experts, The Digital CEO Weekly, you can sign up now and get it delivered straight to your inbox every Monday morning at www.jameswedmore.com/newsletter.  Hey there, Digital CEO!

Your business is making money… so why do banks keep saying NO? In this episode of Black Entrepreneur Blueprint, Jay Jones exposes one of the most frustrating truths in entrepreneurship: profit does not equal fundable. Too many Black business owners are doing real numbers, serving real customers, and still getting denied for loans—with no clear explanation why. Jay breaks down the myth that revenue alone unlocks capital and reveals how lenders actually evaluate businesses behind the scenes. If you've ever felt confused, discouraged, or blindsided by a loan denial, this episode will change how you see money, credit, and funding forever. And this is just the setup. In the next episode, Jay pulls the curtain all the way back to explain why the system works this way, who it really favors, and what Black entrepreneurs must do instead to win the funding game. Don't miss this one—because once you understand the rules, you stop taking denials personally and start moving strategically. GET YOUR FREE BUSINESS RESOURCES: https://blackentrepreneurblueprint.com/
