Marketing for Ecommerce is dead. Long live Found Revenue. Welcome to the new era of the show. After a hiatus, I'm back—but the generic marketing advice is gone. In this short announcement episode, I explain exactly why I killed the old show and what you can expect from Found Revenue moving forward. This isn't about Amazon tips, Etsy hacks, or chasing the latest TikTok algorithm. This is for Shopify founders who want to build a serious, predictable sales channel—not just a pretty website. In this episode: The Pivot: Why broad e-commerce advice fails and why we are going all-in on Shopify growth. The "Found Revenue" Philosophy: How to find the hidden money leaking out of your business before you spend another dollar on ads. What to Expect: Weekly episodes on offer creation, conversion rate optimization (CRO), unit economics, and building systems that scale without the rollercoaster. I'm Bryan Bowman—former consulting actuary and founder of FoundRev.com. My brain lives in risk, return, and data, not hype. If you are ready to stop guessing and start engineering growth based on math and metrics, you're in the right place. Subscribe now to catch the first official episode dropping soon.

Het is alweer 9 jaar geleden dat een van de meest spraakmakende rebrands van voetbalclubs plaatsvond. Het historisch geladen wapen van de Oude Dame werd vervangen door een hypermoderne typeface icoon. Design-puristen - ikzelf incluis - hielden ervan, terwijl voetbalpuristen - er zit er een tegenover me - ervan kotsten. Maar wat is het effect geweest van deze rebrand. Wat heeft het Juventus gebracht? Luister naar Grof Geld en hoor hoe de skybox de staantribune beïnvloedt!- Rimer London is verantwoordelijk voor de keiharde tune. (de muziek onder de intro anekdote is van Epidemic Sounds)- Blood in Blood out maakte het fantastische Grof Geld-shirt.- Volg Grof Geld, Sam en Perre op Instagram! Hosted on Acast.

This week, special guest Rich Jordan takes us inside a marketing challenge presented by his successful acquisition of home services businesses. Do you keep the legacy names of those businesses to preserve local trust—at the cost of running a fragmented, inefficient marketing operation? Do you take the strongest brand you own and roll it out everywhere, even if it may not translate from one community to the next? Or do you wipe the slate clean and create an entirely new brand to unify the whole operation—knowing that it means walking away from money you've already sunk into branding your biggest location? In a conversation with Shawn Busse and Jay Goltz, Rich walks through how he wrestled with those choices, why he ultimately made the call he did, and what he learned along the way. His takeaways included that there are still people who listen to radio, that an authentic story can compete with private equity, and that it is possible to find a marketing agency that will align its interests with yours.
In this episode, Shauna Lynn Simon sits down with branding expert and designer RuthAnn Rafiq to explore why so many established coaches and service providers hit a revenue ceiling not because of visibility, but because their brand no longer reflects the level of expertise they've grown into. RuthAnn shares how mismatched branding can quietly erode confidence, limit conversions and keep entrepreneurs playing small even when demand is high.Listeners will hear RuthAnn's refreshing philosophy on premium positioning, including why mindset shifts must happen before the visuals change, how authenticity and values shape true authority and the subtle signals that separate brands attracting tire kickers from those bringing in high-intent, ready-to-invest clients. She also breaks down the organic marketing opportunities most entrepreneurs are missing and explains how a strategic rebrand can transform not only revenue, but the way a founder shows up in their business.By the end, listeners will feel inspired to evaluate their own online presence with honesty, clarity and purpose and take aligned action toward the business they want to lead.This is an episode worth sharing with any entrepreneur ready for their next evolution.

"Should I niche down in my prospecting to a vertical or an industry?" That question came up on an office hours call yesterday with a bunch of MSP business owners. Here's what I told them based on managing 50 different IT companies in our fractional sales program and listening to thousands of prospecting calls: Yes, you should absolutely niche down—but you don't have to rebrand your entire company to do it. Most people think going vertical means becoming "the law firm IT company" and changing everything. That's wrong. You niche at the campaign level, not the company level. This episode breaks down how to compartmentalize your outbound: build a law firm-specific list, create landing pages with their language and acronyms, develop messaging that speaks to their specific IT fears and problems—all without touching your homepage or inbound script. The benefits are massive: your scripting has immediate relevance, you stand out from the 100 other calls they're getting, and you can feed patterns back into your campaigns through AI analysis of recorded calls. Learn why law firms have different IT concerns than manufacturing companies, how to stack verticals over time without getting diluted, and why this approach lets you leverage specialization into better specialization once the flywheel starts moving//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Instagram has been my thing since before I even had a photography business, but this year, my content looked a little different.

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Michael Denehey interviews Andrew Griffiths on the Grow A Small Business Podcast to dive into Andrew's book Someone Has to Be the Most Expensive. In this episode, they explore why embracing premium pricing can transform a business from the ground up, strengthen financial resilience, and attract higher-quality clients. Andrew shares insights on shifting from a poverty mindset, building real value beyond price, and developing the courage to charge what you're truly worth. The conversation also highlights practical steps for business owners to reposition themselves, elevate their brand, and create long-term sustainability. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Stop Competing on Price: Competing as the cheapest is a race to the bottom — it attracts the wrong customers and limits growth. Value Is More Than Money: Customers pay for experience, expertise, reliability, energy, and creativity — not just the product. Premium Pricing Builds Stronger Businesses: Being the most expensive helps you attract better clients, improve financial resilience, and survive tough times. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Mindset Is Everything: Breaking free from a poverty mindset and believing in your worth is essential to charging higher prices. Reposition Before Raising Prices: You can't "put lipstick on a wombat." Rebrand, refine services, and improve the experience before increasing prices. You Will Lose Some Clients — and That's Good: Raising prices naturally filters out low-value customers, making room for clients who appreciate and pay for quality. One action small business owners can take: According to Andrew Griffiths, one action small business owners can take is to courageously raise their prices to reflect their true value — starting with a clear plan, improving their offering, and confidently communicating the change to their customers.

How do you know when your agency has outgrown its brand and what actually happens when you decide to change it after 17 years?Today's episode gives you a rare behind-the-scenes look at a rebrand most agency owners never get to witness. My guest, Kim Atkinson, co-founder and COO of Foundery, recently led her agency through a full transformation after nearly two decades of being known as “Ontario SEO.”What started as a small, local SEO shop evolved into an international, full-service digital agency… but the brand didn't evolve with them. And eventually, the name that once helped them grow became the very thing holding them back.In this conversation, Kim opens the door to the real journey. The fears, the hesitation, the naming battles, the internal alignment, and the strategic decisions that helped them pull off a rebrand without losing momentum.Whether your agency has been around for 17 years or you're only a few years in, you'll walk away with clarity on:how to know your brand no longer reflects your business,what to prepare for before changing anything,how to protect your visibility during the transition, andwhat shifts once your brand finally matches who you are today.It's an honest, practical sneak-peek into a rebrand done thoughtfully and a meaningful listen if you're sensing it might be time for your own evolution.Let's dive in.Show Notes:-Website: Foundery.ca-Kim's LinkedInHey thanks for hanging out with me at the Small But Mighty Podcast.

Points of discussion:Q1: Should a brewery consider rebranding when expanding into new markets or reaching beyond its local audience?Q2: Is a full rebrand typically more effective, or can a strategic refresh of the existing identity be enough?Q3: If a company has worked with the same designer for years and is thinking about a brand refresh, how can they evaluate whether that OG designer is still the right fit? And if not, how should they navigate that tricky transition?Q4: How do you determine when a system like Left Field's templated approach makes sense, versus something more customized and illustration-driven like NoDa's?Q5: You mentioned that a rebrand usually isn't the first move when sales are declining, but your Wachusett example seems to break that rule. Why was a full rebrand the right call in their case?Q6: A lot of the work you showed uses a clear design system or template. How do you think about that approach compared to creating more individualized packaging within the same portfolio?Q7: When refreshing a brand, do you find it more effective to start from scratch, or to build on the existing identity and evolve what's already there?-Learn more at: www.craftbeerrebranded.com / http://www.beyondbeerbook.com-Have a topic or question you'd like us to field on the show?

Join Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows coming up in 2026 * Vision 21 in Las Vegas Jan 15-17 https://www.nadl.org/nadl-vision-21 * Cal-Lab Association Meeting in Chicago Feb 19-20 https://cal-lab.org/ * LMT Lab Day Chicago Feb 19-21 https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday * Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ * exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week, Barb and Elvis finally sit down for a long-overdue full episode with the man behind the Fans of Voices From the Bench Facebook group, second-generation lab owner, NADL (https://www.nadl.org/) President, and all-around industry cheerleader: Joe Young of Young Dental Laboratory (https://youngdentallab.com/). Joe shares his family's incredible journey from Hong Kong to Philadelphia, how his parents built a small ortho lab out of a spare room, and how he grew up trimming models on a step stool before eventually returning to the lab after college. He walks us through the evolution of the business—from analog ortho, to adding fixed, to diving head-first into early CAD/CAM. Today, Young Dental is a 26-tech, multi-department full-service lab serving PA, NJ, and DE. Joe talks about the challenges of ortho work in a digital world, the need for wire-bending talent, the rise of aligners, and the struggle of balancing old-school techniques with new-school tech. He also reflects on family legacy, his dad's 45 years as a CDT, and why keeping that generation's knowledge alive matters more than ever. As NADL President, Joe dives into board service, workforce development, collaboration across organizations, and his goal of connecting labs and vendors more effectively. Plus, he gives an honest look at what it's like to step into leadership, find your voice, and leave a legacy for the next wave of techs. Of course, it wouldn't be a VFTB episode without gifts, jokes, accidental innuendo, and a rapid-fire Q&A that reveals Barb's love of tomahawks and Elvis's dream of 88-degree weather. Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! As the year comes to a close, all of us at Ivoclar want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Voices From the Bench community. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and the support you've shown throughout the year. From our Ivoclar family to yours, we wish you a joyful, healthy, and safe holiday season. May your days be merry, your nights be bright, and your smiles shine like freshly fallen snow. Ho, ho, ho — Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! Elvis and Barb are gearing up for their chat with the HyperDent Dude himself, Jordan Greenberg from FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/). At LabFest, Elvis found out that every hyperDENT (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) license comes with Template Editor Lite — a built-in feature that lets you make safe, customized tweaks to your milling strategies. Whether you want to prioritize surface quality or speed, this tool gives you the control to fine-tune your results while FOLLOW-ME! keeps everything validated and reliable. Because in the end, us lab techs love to tinker — and hyperDENT makes it easy to choose your own CAM-venture. Special Guest: Joe Young.
“I feel like I've been fired by America,” says Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino in a vulnerable tell-all that goes behind the scenes into the explosive Cracker Barrel rebrand, which Glenn describes as “stupid from start to finish.” In August 2025, Cracker Barrel unveiled a minimal new logo with modern fonts, cozy colors ... but no nice old man and no BARREL for him to lean on. But it wasn't just the logo; the restaurant chain was also getting a “modern” remodel. In short: We hated it. Social media erupted with brutal reviews, calling it “minimalist,” “soulless,” and “downright ugly.” Cracker Barrel stock tanked, its attempt to tamp down the pushback backfired, and it looked like this was the company's “Bud Light moment.” But then, Cracker Barrel surprised us. Its leaders listened. Within weeks, they scrapped the new logo, reinstated the original, and hit pause on every remodel. “COVID even made Cracker Barrel start drinking,” says Doug Hisel, senior vice president of store operations, as he takes Glenn behind the scenes as to what REALLY led to moment that brought Cracker Barrel to its knees. In Julie's first interview since her time on “Good Morning America,” when she said the response to the new logo “was overwhelmingly positive,” she is here to say to America: “I'm sorry ... I regret it.” Now the question is: Will America forgive her?

In this episode, I sit down with creative director and brand strategist Rachel Pesso, and we talk about when to rebrand, what actually moves revenue, and how to build a brand that matches the depth of your work. Rachel breaks down the signs you're out of alignment, the clarity you need before you touch fonts and colors, and the user-experience shifts that turn your website from “pretty brochure” into a conversion tool.
