Click here now to access the tool > How to Grow a Business You Love by Serving the Right People at the Right Value Does it ever seem like you're giving everything to your business, yet the success you pictured still feels just out of reach? In this episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by Mike Michalowicz, author of nine business books including Profit First and The Pumpkin Plan, to explore how entrepreneurs can escape what he calls “entrepreneurial poverty” and create a business that runs smoothly, profitably and in alignment with their strengths. Mike shares why the secret to growth isn't serving everyone, but identifying the right clients, pricing in a way that reflects your true value, and letting go of the rest (without guilt). We talk about why bad-fit clients drain more than your bank account, how to attract people who value what you offer, and why you should always love yourself enough to charge what you're worth. If you've been caught in the cycle of over-delivering, undercharging, and feeling too stretched to serve your best clients well, this conversation will help you see a simpler, more sustainable path forward - one that makes space for better clients, better work and a better life. Prefer to WATCH instead of read? Click here to watch this episode on YouTube “Price is the ultimate marketing method. It tells the world how valuable you believe your work is.” – Mike Michalowicz Why Pricing is More Than a Number Most entrepreneurs fear raising prices, but as Mike explains, pricing isn't just about covering costs. It's a signal to the market about the quality and impact of your work. When you charge appropriately, you attract clients who align with your value, and you create the capacity to serve them at your best. Letting Go of the Wrong Clients It's tempting to hold on to every paying client, but the wrong ones cost far more than they contribute. Mike shares strategies for identifying unfit clients, and how to release them in a way that's professional, kind, and freeing - making space for your business to grow in the right direction. “Your best business will always grow from your best clients. Focus there, and create more space for them to thrive with you.” – Mike Michalowicz The Three Questions that Unlock Growth Mike offers three simple but powerful questions to ask your best clients, questions that reveal what makes you stand out, how you can differentiate yourself from the industry, and where to find more people just like them. From “Doing it All” to Designing a Business that Runs Without You We discuss the trap of the “superhero entrepreneur” who tries to do everything themselves, and why true leadership means designing a business that thrives without your constant presence. Mike explains how he tests this by taking a four-week (sometimes seven-week) annual vacation, and how it's made his business stronger. If you only take one thing away from this episode… Your best business will come from your best clients. Focus on them, price in alignment with your value, and give your business the space it needs to grow - without burning yourself out. Final Thought to Reflect On? What could change for you if you stopped competing for every client - and started leading in your own niche, with quiet confidence and clear value?

Northern England's walled city was founded by the ancient Romans, was conquered by the Vikings and also boasts a trove of medieval riches.

"It's undoubtedly Britain's equivalent to our Queenstown Lakes district. Windermere and the Lake District is England's favourite national park, a sprawling tourist honeypot that stretches across hundreds of square kilometres of rugged Cumbrian countryside, woodland valleys, shimmering tarns and lakes – all backed by strikingly craggy mountains. It was the 18th century Romantic poets who captured the world's imagination, igniting the region's first tourism wave. Since then, the stature of the Lake District has only grown as a getaway destination, the wave has never crested, culminating in the district securing World Heritage status just eight years ago."

"Nestled on the western flank of the Andes, three hours northwest of Quito, I was swathed in the finery of the Chocó rainforest. Mashpi Lodge is an eco-tourism jewel, a five-star oasis within the wider Mashpi Reserve that serves up a resplendent rainforest encounter with the mighty Chocó. Truth be told, because the reserve traverses a wide altitude range, from 550 metres to 1400m, there's the rainforest and the cloud forest. There's a high level of endemism here, by the separation through the Andes. The forests on the western side of the Andes evolved entirely differently to the Amazon rainforest on the eastern side. To really make my head spin, geological history testifies that prior to the seismic uplift of the Andes, this was all one sprawling forest." Read Mike's full article here.

"Stitching Central Otago to the wonders of South Westland, the Haast Pass Highway is what epic roadies are all about. The Haast region is the centrepiece of Te Wāhipounamu World Heritage area. As the last mountain pass to be constructed over the Southern Alps and only fully chip-sealed in 1995, this 140km-long panoramic alpine pass still exudes a “final frontier” sense of escapism as it threads its way through South Westland's primeval forests.

Teenagers today are facing unprecedented challenges—social media, anxiety, and self-worth struggles. In this episode, Mindi Linscombe sits down with Mike Donahue, a renowned youth speaker and founder of Value Up, a program that has impacted over a million students.Mike shares how parents, educators, and mentors can help teens navigate today's pressures by focusing on intrinsic value, listening without judgment, and fostering resilience. He also dives into the concept of the "privilege of process", encouraging parents to guide rather than control, allowing teens to develop their own confidence and decision-making skills.

"January's horrific wildfires in Los Angeles County have understandably raised questions about whether it's appropriate to visit destinations close to the fire grounds and the Pacific Coast Highway. But the clarion call from LA's tourism leaders is to remind the world, ‘we are open and would love to see you”. Over a million of the city's jobs rely on tourism. It's also worth bearing in mind that, while devastating, the wildfires have impacted less than 2% of Los Angeles County. Late last year, I tripped the LA coastline, lapping up the scenic beach scene in Malibu, nicknamed “Bu” by the locals and stretching across 40km of coastline. Eastern Malibu, particularly the stretch directly below Pacific Palisades, felt the force of the wildfires, with hundreds of beachfront homes reduced to ashes (Central and Western Malibu weren't affected)."

Folks, it finally happened. After years of trying to “optimize” nearly every aspect of everyday life, from work to fitness to music, Silicon Valley has finally set its sights on the federal government. If you missed the bombshell story in Wired, Elon Musk is currently leading a platoon of quirked up zoomer web developers as they sift through institutional data and use AI to weed out inefficiencies like unnecessary spending, alleged corruption, and confirmed wokeness.It's easy to forget how we got here. For decades, the prevailing public attitude towards tech innovation has been one of near-blind optimism and acceptance — a perception of digital tech as neutral, transparent tools that are always leading us somewhere better than we are now.The logic tends to follow that somewhere along the way, the tools themselves took a wrong turn, or just ended up in the wrong hands. But what if this perception — that emerging tech is, by default, beneficial to society — has been misguided from the start?Writer and technologist Mike Pepi has some thoughts on that. His new book Against Platforms: Surviving Digital Utopia pulls back the curtain on techno-utopianism, which he defines as “the idea that technology, and technology alone, will create a more egalitarian, democratic society.' He makes the case that emerging technologies and platforms aren't some kind of Platonic ideal, but in fact charged with assumptions and collateral consequences — a.k.a., ideology.It's not the tech that's the problem — it's the things we believe about it, and the ways that we've allowed that belief to overshadow, and at times completely blind us to, the actual conditions of contemporary life. The issue, Mike argues, is the impossible superpowers we reflexively attach to emerging tech and platforms — ranging from the idea that data can always point us to an objective truth, to Silicon Valley's tone-deaf insistence that shiny new tools like AI and blockchain can solve decades-in-the-making social problems.Mike joins us to talk about what techno-utopianism is, how it came to be the dominant mindset not just in Silicon Valley but in Western society itself, and how it both capitalizes on and fuels institutional decline. We also get into how we are seeing it play out in real time at DOGE, the disturbing phenomenon of tech companies bending the knee to Trump, the differences between platforms and institutions, and why something he calls “techno-progressivism” could be our way out of this mess.Buy Against Platforms: Surviving Digital Utopia.Read Mike's follow-up essay “The Institutional Membrane” and follow his work on Substack.

In this episode, I talk with Michael Michalowicz, an innovative entrepreneur, renowned author, and speaker. Michael delves into several insightful topics, from financial transparency to creating a culture of psychological ownership in the workplace. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone passionate about organized growth, this episode is packed with actionable advice and wisdom. Here are three key takeaways: Shift from Titles to Roles: Transitioning from a traditional pyramid structure to a web-like organizational setup allows for greater flexibility, and matching talent to tasks, instead of sticking to rigid titles, fosters internal growth and tailored professional support. Financial Transparency & Security: Fiscal transparency impacts the employer-employee relationship positively, creating an equitable environment. Providing benefits like health insurance and 401ks meets employees' present and future needs, enhancing their sense of safety and security. Cultivating Psychological Ownership: Empowering employees with control, personalization, and intimate knowledge deepens their commitment to the organization. This ownership transforms culture, boosts loyalty, and reduces onboarding costs. More about Mike: By his 35th birthday, MIKE MICHALOWICZ (pronounced mi-‘kal-o-wits) had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies. Confident that he had the formula to success, he became a small business angel investor… and proceeded to lose his entire fortune. Then he started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies. Mike has devoted his life to the research and delivery of innovative, impactful entrepreneurial strategies to you.

We spend a lot of time talking about the odds - and not enough time talking about the stakes for 2024. Mike Podhorzer joins Joe and Alex to discuss the long-term implications of the 2024 presidential race -- and how pervasive the Federalist Society's influence on our judiciary has been. What might the Supreme Court look like after another term of Trump in 2028? Bottom line: It's all on the line in 2024. Mike and Joe explain why we have to look at what's already happening in red states or in places where MAGA already controls the judiciary. So what do we do about it? How do we make our democracy better for more people?
