What does it take to manage a complex global institution when change is constant and resources are scarce? For Kelly T.

Dominic Rubino is a business coach with over two decades of experience who built a Brian Tracy franchise from 6 locations to 240 worldwide, sold it, and never looked back. He hosts two highly niched podcasts, Profit Tool Belt and Cabinet Maker Profit System, where he helps small trade business owners get clear on time, team, money, and growth. What hit me hardest about this conversation was that Dominic had everything on paper. Two hundred and forty franchisees. International operations. A name in the industry. And then his nine-year-old son shrank at the dinner table, and Dominic made the decision right there. He sold the company. He showed up. And now his son is heading off to play NCAA lacrosse. This episode is about what it actually takes to build a business that serves your life — not the other way around. Dominic talks about delegation, systems, the cost of constant travel, and why the guys who can't stop working are often running from something. If you've ever felt like a prisoner to the income you built, this one's for you. If you're a father who owns a business or is grinding through a W-2 job that keeps pulling you away from the people you're doing it all for, this conversation will hit close to home. Dominic doesn't deal in theory. He's lived it, coached thousands through it, and he has the frameworks to prove it.   Timeline Summary [1:02] Dominic's last name gets butchered before the mic even starts rolling — and a quick side note about Dallas [1:54] Host sets up the dinner table moment — nine-year-old Joseph shrinks in his chair and changes everything [2:17] Dominic describes building a Brian Tracy franchise from 6 to 240 locations across the U.S., Brazil, and Europe [3:32] A surprise buyout offer comes in from franchisees — and Dominic says no [4:13] The real cost of constant travel: getting invited to the hotel concierge's birthday party [5:29] The moment it all shifted: Joseph drops his head at the dinner table and Dominic decides to sell [7:05] Dominic reflects on the things he missed — first steps, first swimming lessons — and what his kids saw him miss [9:16] Host shares his own version: his six-year-old son locked around his ankle on the floor, begging him not to leave again [13:03] Why Dominic stopped being afraid to reinvent himself — and the promise he made to never sacrifice his family again [20:08] Advice for W-2 guys feeling stuck: stop sending resumes into the void and go talk to a human being [25:17] "Cat's in the Cradle" — one song that answers this whole conversation, and a hospital story that hits like a gut punch [31:42] The less you work, the more you make: why Dominic hires great people and then hires them an assistant [36:15] A live breathing exercise on air — and what it should feel like to actually be on top of your business [43:23] A client sells his company for seven figures and his wife asks one question: "Does this mean you can finally do donuts with dad?" [47:12] How Dominic helps trade business owners in the $1–3M range get clear on time, team, money, and growth [50:07] How to find Dominic — two podcasts, a TEDx talk, and a college wrestler who is definitely not him   Five Key Takeaways The moment that changes you doesn't announce itself. For Dominic, it was a nine-year-old boy silently shrinking at the dinner table. You don't always know what your kids see you miss, but they're watching — and so are you, somewhere deep down. Reinventing yourself isn't the scary part. The scarier thing is spending another decade in golden handcuffs, telling yourself you're doing it for the family while the family waits at the door. Stop lying to yourself about being trapped. You're not. Finding a job is a job. Don't send your resume into the LinkedIn black hole. Figure out which companies and which people you actually want to work for and go talk to them. Every business owner out there is looking for someone committed enough to show up before they're asked. Hire great people, then hire them an assistant. If your best people are spending their time on tasks that a $20/hour assistant could handle, you're paying premium wages for checkbox work. Build small teams, assign assistants early, and let them do more than you ever could alone. A business only gets clear when everything in your head gets out of it. Strategic planning is really just moving the chaos from your mind onto paper. Once it's on paper, it becomes the boss. Then you work backwards from that to figure out what has to happen this quarter, this week, and today.   Links & Resources Profit Tool Belt Podcast — search "Profit Tool Belt" on any podcast platform Cabinet Maker Profit System Podcast — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cabinet-maker-profit-system-podcast/id1353937790 Dominic Rubino TEDx Talk: Family Inc — search "Dominic Rubino TEDx" on YouTube The Dad Edge Alliance — http://thedadedge.com/join Episode show notes and links — http://thedadedge.com/1483   Closing If Dominic's dinner table story hit you somewhere you weren't expecting, trust that feeling.

One in four people over 65 will experience a fall, and for most of them, the technology designed to help is a device that hasn't meaningfully changed since the 1980s. Chia-Lin Simmons, CEO of LogicMark, joined Craig Smith to make the case that this gap is both unnecessary and solvable, and that AI is finally making it possible to shift personal safety from reactive to predictive. Her company's Freedom Alert Max doesn't just detect falls after they happen, it builds a personalized digital twin of each user, tracking steps, sleep patterns, and medication adherence over time to identify the subtle signs of health decline that even daily caregivers often miss. The conversation is one of the most grounded and human discussions of applied AI you'll hear, covering why Apple Watch fall detection was engineered for crash detection, not elderly falls; why AI can flag a problem but a human needs to hear the breathing on the other end of the line; and why the 700,000 caregiver shortage in America makes technology like this not a luxury but a scaling mechanism. For anyone navigating aging parents, their own future, or the sandwich generation pressures in between, this episode is both practically useful and genuinely moving.

In this powerful two part episode I sit down with Brett Kessler, D.D.S. for an honest and deeply reflective conversation about recovery, leadership, and living with intention. Dr. Brett shares two key lessons that continue to shape both his personal and professional life: the importance of moving through challenges “one mile at a time”, and the power of intentionally designing a life aligned with your personal values, mission statement, and long-term vision. While a vulnerable topic, Brett reflects openly on how overcoming substance abuse nearly three decades ago became the foundation for mindfulness, humility, discipline, and purposeful leadership.As a young dentist struggling with substance abuse, Brett recognized he needed help to make a change. While in recovery he was taught the practice of meditation and mindfulness. Not only does this practice help maintain his recovery but he has also seen exponential leadership growth opportunities by setting an intention for his life through mindfulness and a personal mission statement. Brett also shares his journey from private practice dentist to president of the American Dental Association, including leading through the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19 and advocating for wellness initiatives within the dental profession. In addition, he highlights lessons learned while competing in multiple Ironman races, including the importance of resilience, adaptability, and focusing only on “the mile you're in” during difficult moments.This conversation is filled with a myriad of valuable takeaways, so we split it up into two easily digestible episodes. Thanks for listening to Part 1 with Dr. Brett - Part 2 is also live, where we dive into his plans post ADA presidency and his last messages for our listeners. Links & Resources:The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen CoveyGood to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don't by Jim CollinsStart With Why by Simon SinekStrong Ground: The Lessons of Daring Leadership, the Tenacity of Paradox, and the Wisdom of the Human Spirit by Brené BrownEmail Brett Kessler, D.D.S. at: bikodds@gmail.comFollow Suken on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukenjain/Email Suken at: suken@synergysyncsolutions.comSynergy Sync Solutions Website: https://www.synergysyncsolutions.com/This episode was brought to you by Pivot Ball Change.

Frank Rohde originally hails from Germany. Early attempts at becoming a child prodigy violinist were unsuccessful which forced his parents to abandon any hope or supervision. Left to his own, Frank quickly became famous for wrestling rattlesnakes and kayaking. His sister meanwhile became the child prodigy violinist.

Introduction What if the biggest gap in personal lines insurance technology isn't the consumer experience—it's the broker experience? Every major insurtech wave of the past decade has tried to disintermediate the agent. Jon Kelly thinks that's the wrong bet. In his view, the broker is the product in personal lines, and the tools they work with are embarrassingly behind. Kelly has been building at the intersection of insurance and technology since 1998, when he co-founded eCoverage—the first venture-backed startup to underwrite car insurance online. After selling SureHits in 2008, he spent years watching high-net-worth clients get onboarded with hundreds of questions spread across weeks of back-and-forth, proposals built in Excel, and data managed across disconnected systems. He called it "the Columbo experience"—always just one more thing. That frustration led him to co-found Kelly Klee Private Insurance in 2016 and build Discover, the platform powering it, from the inside out. Kelly Klee was acquired by Foundation Risk Partners in 2022. Now, as CEO of Modern Metric, he's selling Discover to the largest national brokers in the country. In this conversation, Josh Hollander and Kelly dig into the technology gap in personal lines, why enterprise-first was the right strategic bet, what it takes to hire high-agency people, and why trust is the ultimate product in this business. Guest Bio Jon Kelly is the Founder and CEO of Modern Metric, makers of the Discover platform for personal lines insurance distribution. His career began in 1995 at Mercer Management Consulting, advising Prudential, CNA, and Fireman's Fund. In 1998 he co-founded eCoverage, the first venture-backed startup to underwrite car insurance online, followed by SureHits (acquired by QuinStreet, 2008) and Kelly Klee Private Insurance (acquired by Foundation Risk Partners, 2022). He chairs Hometown Quotes, sits on the board of Great Range Capital, and earned a BA in Economics and Political Science from Stanford University. Key Topics • The missing layer in the tech stack — Independent agents have AMS systems for back-office accounting, CRMs for lead tracking, and form builders as pipes to carriers. But there is no purpose-built system for the client-facing workflow: data discovery, market presentation, and proposal delivery. That gap is what Discover was built to fill. • Relationship business vs. transactional business — The real split in personal lines isn't private client vs. mass market—it's relationship (multi-line) vs. transactional (monoline). Form builders work fine for monoline. They fall apart the moment complexity enters the picture. • Enterprise-first as a strategic decision — The most consequential decision at Modern Metric was targeting the largest national brokers from day one. Building for complex, enterprise-scale accounts forces architectural decisions that cannot be retrofitted later. You can scale down from enterprise; you cannot scale up from a form builder. Their first anchor tenant is a top-20 national broker. • The Uber Black analogy — If you order an Uber X and the Uber Black shows up, you're thrilled. If you order the Uber Black and the old Honda arrives, you're not happy. A platform built for simple transactions will never feel right in a complex private client context, no matter how much you add to it. • Hiring for high agency — The through line across all of Kelly's businesses: he hires for high agency. He looks for people who have clear motivations for every role on their resume. His favorite interview story: asking a candidate about their favorite exhibit at the natural history museum where they worked. The answer was "that was okay." They didn't get the job. • Trust as the ultimate product — Kelly's answer to what he'd want co-founders, teammates, and customers to say: that he delivered on what he said he would, that they got good value, and above all, that they can trust him. Trust is number one. Notable Quotes "I called it the Columbo because it was always just one more thing. Oh, your house is in a trust? Just one more question. I couldn't help think that maybe there were some issues with technology and personal lines, especially at the high end." "The whole process of how do you get the data in, how do you take that to market, how do you do your proposal—that's all done in paper and pencil, Excel and Word and Outlook." "If you order an Uber X and the Uber Black comes, you're thrilled. If you order Uber Black and the old Honda comes, you're not happy. You can't go from one to the other." "What I'd want them to say is that I delivered-that whatever I said I was going to do, I did, and that they got value out of it. More than anything, that they feel like they can trust me. Trust is number one." Resources Guest: • Modern Metric: https://www.modernmetric.com • Jon Kelly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonkelly/ Host & Organization: • Joshua R.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Jason Bullock, Founder of Bodhisys and owner of Carolina Rides, about how delivering excellent customer service depends on systems and processes that support the many moving parts of reservations, inventory, and deliveries. He shares why he developed Bodhisys, a reservation management system tailored for the unique needs of rental businesses, optimizing everything from inventory management to delivery efficiency. Listen in as we discuss the importance of streamlined operations in creating exceptional customer experiences and fostering industry collaboration. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Jason transitioned from a background in logistics and packaging to owning and operating multiple vacation rental and bike businesses Why customer service and efficient logistics are crucial for success in the rental industry Challenges Jason faced with existing reservation and booking platforms, and how this led to the creation of Bodhisys How Bodhisys uses technology to streamline inventory, delivery logistics, and communications, to provide a better customer experience Why seasonal pricing and adaptability in operations are important How Jason is partnering with competitors through technology and shared platforms to uplift the industry as a whole What impact technology-driven efficiencies have on customer satisfaction, repeat business, and overall profitability in the rental space The Art and Logistics of Rentals When most people think of the travel industry, glamorous destinations and dazzling activities come to mind. But Jason's world is more about the nitty-gritty of inventory management, deliveries, and keeping up with vacationers' evolving needs. His business delivers thousands of bikes and equipment items to vacationers at resorts and private rentals in the Hilton Head and Charleston areas. COVID-19 only magnified these challenges, as business whiplashed from 4% to 140% of historical sales within a week—forcing immediate innovation to keep up with demand and ensure guests received what they needed, when and where they needed it. The Birth of Bodhisys As business boomed, so did complaints—especially from frustrated guests who had trouble finding their rentals amid the sea of bikes and equipment. Seeing that traditional booking software wasn't designed for the logistics-heavy rental of "stuff," Jason was motivated by dissatisfied customers and exhausted employees to build a smarter system. The solution was building Bodhisys, a reservation management system purpose-built for logistics, inventory, and delivery—as opposed to the "activity first" platforms dominating the market. With features like photo geolocation of delivered items, automated customer messaging, and dynamic inventory management. Systems = Better Business, Better Experiences While the technology behind Bodhisys is robust, its true value lies in the ripple effect it creates for business owners and travelers alike. With real-time communications, automated reminders, and demand prediction, operators can plan staffing, adjust inventory, and meet seasonal swings without being blindsided. Importantly, these changes aren't just about operational ease, they have an impact on customer satisfaction. Similar to Amazon's familiar delivery notifications, Bodhisys provides travelers with the same transparency and reliability during their vacations. Which, in turn, leads to happier guests, less on-site confusion, and more repeat business.

The Quick Service Restaurant industry remains the largest segment of the American foodservice sector, generating hundreds of billions in annual revenue and operating nearly 200,000 locations nationwide. Its dominance has long been fueled by convenience, affordability, and deep cultural relevance in everyday American life, according to  Statista. But what happens when a founder challenges the idea that “fast food” has to mean unhealthy food? This week, I sit down with Jeff Fenster, founder and CEO of everbowl, the rapidly growing superfood franchise redefining what convenience food can look like in America. Built on the belief that nutrient-dense, high-quality food should be both affordable and accessible, Jeff has transformed everbowl from a Southern California startup into one of the most talked-about emerging brands in the fast-casual space. Under Jeff's leadership, everbowl has served more than five million customers and continues to attract over 50,000 new consumers every month. Through a vertically integrated sourcing strategy that connects directly with harvest communities around the world, he's reshaping how superfoods are sourced, distributed, and scaled for the modern consumer. In this conversation, Jeff shares the entrepreneurial mindset behind building a category-defining brand, the operational systems required to scale a franchise nationally, and why the future of the QSR industry may belong to companies that can combine convenience with genuine nutrition. We also discuss leadership, supply-chain innovation, franchising, consumer behavior, and what it takes to democratize healthier food choices at scale. From procurement and construction efficiencies to product innovation and culture-building, Jeff offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to disrupt one of the most competitive industries in America. If you're interested in entrepreneurship, franchising, operational excellence, consumer trends, or the future of food, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.     For more information: https://www.everbowl.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailThis episode is a really honest look at what's happening behind the scenes in my business right now, because I'm in the middle of a pretty big shift.If you've ever gone through one of those seasons where what used to work just doesn't feel right anymore, I think this will resonate.For the last decade, I've built my business as a done-for-you service provider. Branding, design, social media - this is work I love and will continue to do. But over time, I've realized that the way I support my clients has always gone so much deeper than the deliverables. And lately, that's been getting louder. Like so loud I can't ignore it. There's been this pull to step more fully into coaching and mentorship, to be more involved in the bigger picture of my clients' businesses, not just the execution.And I'll be honest, it's bringing up a lot.There have been moments over the last couple of weeks where I've genuinely questioned everything. Wondering if I'm making the right move, if I'm overcomplicating things, or if I should go back to what's easy and proven. There's a level of safety in staying where you are known, and stepping outside of that (even when it's aligned) can feel really uncomfortable.At the same time, I'm refining who I'm speaking to. I'm noticing patterns in the women I work with. So many of them are Gen X, 50+, incredibly experienced, capable, and completely over the noise of online business. They don't want to chase trends or be glued to their phones. They want something that feels sustainable, grounded, and aligned with the life they're living. And as I lean into that, there's also the fear of, “Am I excluding people?” or “Will this land the way I want it to?”And then there's the identity piece, which I think is the hardest part. Letting go of the version of yourself that you've been for so long...the one that built the business and allowing yourself to be seen in a new way. For me, that's moving out of “I'm just a designer” and really owning the depth of what I do. And if I'm being honest, that has been a huge stretch. There's been a level of hiding in the safety of my work, and this next chapter is asking me to show up more fully.The technical side of this shift - updating offers, systems, messaging is actually the easy part for me. What's been more challenging is the internal work. The mindset, the self-trust, the willingness to keep showing up even when it feels messy or uncertain. That's why I invested in support this year, and why I'll always believe in having someone in your corner during seasons like this.What I keep coming back to, and what I want to remind you of if you're in your own version of this, is that this kind of growth is temporary. It's uncomfortable, but it's also necessary. It's the space where you're stretching into something bigger, even if it doesn't feel fully formed yet.So if you've been feeling like what used to work isn't quite fitting anymore, or you're craving something deeper and more aligned but aren't exactly sure what that looks like yet, I just want you to know that you're not alone in that. This is what evolution actually looks like in real life - not polished, not perfect, but very real and very human.And if nothing else, I hope this gives you permission to keep going, even when it feels uncertain.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe wherever you are listening.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – You cannot become someone new if you refuse to acknowledge what the old version of you is carrying. People often try to outrun their emotions—burying themselves in work, distractions, or forced positivity. But unprocessed grief doesn't disappear. It waits. And it will surface in ways that make reinvention harder, not easier...

Hartwell welcomes Janet McConnell, a Senior National Champion Bodybuilder who began competing in her late 40s, Janet brings decades of experience in strength training and lifestyle habits that support cognitive health, resilience, and vitality. As the author of Elements of Aging Well, she blends science-backed insight with real-world strategies to help women age with confidence, strength, and purpose.  Janet shares how a shocking health diagnosis at age 46 forced her to confront the reality of burnout, unhealthy habits, and the long-term impact of putting herself last. Instead of accepting prescriptions as her future, she made a bold decision to change her life through one consistent habit: resistance training. If you've ever wondered whether you've waited too long to prioritize yourself, this episode will challenge everything you believe about aging and personal transformation.   What You Will Learn: How one consistent habit can create massive health transformation over time. Why resistance training is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging and cognitive health. How high-achieving women often disconnect from their health while building successful careers. Why mindset shifts must happen before lasting behavior change can occur. How Janet reversed alarming health markers without extreme dieting. What happens physically and mentally when strength training becomes part of a long-term lifestyle. Why aging does not automatically mean decline or loss of vitality. How identity and purpose evolve when transitioning out of corporate life. Why women over 45 should rethink the way they approach fitness and longevity. How healthy habits become votes for the person you want to become.
