Podcasts about reinventing

What do a Marine, SWAT leader, entrepreneur, CEO, bestselling author, investor, and podcast host all have in common? In this episode, you'll find out... because they're all the same person. This week, Mitch sits down with Adam Contos, former CEO of RE/MAX Holdings and host of the Start With A Win podcast, for a conversation about success, purpose, reinvention, and why your best chapter may still be ahead of you. Adam's career has taken some fascinating turns. From law enforcement to entrepreneurship to leading one of the world's most recognized real estate brands, he's learned that while the titles may change, the mission often stays the same: build trust, solve problems, and help people move forward. Whether you're early in your career, navigating a transition, or wondering what's next after achieving significant success, Adam offers practical wisdom for creating momentum, finding purpose, and building a life you don't need to retire from. And perhaps most importantly... He shares why the next big breakthrough often starts with one small win. Read the full shownotes here: https://mitchmatthews.com/458

Recorded live before an audience at Sunken Harbor Club in Brooklyn.Why This Episode MattersGage & Tollner's revival is more than a preservation story. St. John Frizell and Garrett Richard show how historic restaurants and classic cocktails can be restored, reinterpreted, and made relevant. The ConversationThe live conversation opens with Mark admitting that it took him several meetings to realize writer St. John Frizell and bartender “Sinjin” Frizell were the same person. Francis recalls Garrett recognizing The Restaurant Guys at Tales of the Cocktail, back when being recognized in public was still a notable event.From there, St. John tells the improbable story of finding Gage & Tollner's landmarked interior beneath the remains of a TGI Fridays, an Arby's, and a makeshift mall. He explains how 450 crowdfunding investors helped revive the historic Brooklyn oyster and chophouse and how the restaurant was preparing to open when COVID closed New York.Garrett traces Sunken Harbor Club from a weekly pop-up to one of the country's most distinctive cocktail bars. He explores forgotten tropical formats, historic steakhouse drinks, the challenge of creating serious non-alcoholic cocktails, and the timelessness of the Martini. The conversation also reaches Charles H. Baker Jr., his amazing life and the idea that a great drink can be built as much on story and context as on the recipe itself.Timestamps00:00 Live from Sunken Harbor Club02:00 St. John, Sinjin and a James Bond pronunciation lesson04:00 Garrett's first encounter with The Restaurant Guys05:30 The opening cocktails and Sunken Harbor's menu philosophy08:30 Gage & Tollner prepares to open as COVID closes New York11:00 How the Sunken Harbor Club began as a weekly pop-up14:00 Finding Gage & Tollner behind false walls17:00 Raising $450,000 from 450 crowdfunding investors20:00 Reconstructing forgotten cocktails and the Cross Current25:30 Historic steakhouse drinks meet tropical cocktails30:30 Why serious non-alcoholic cocktails are so difficult42:00 Martinis, Charles H.

Lung cancer biopsies are still being done blind more often than you'd think, leading to costly diagnostic errors. In this episode, Reza Khorasaninejad, Founder & CEO at LEADOPTIK, discusses how advances in photonics and metasurface engineering are enabling highly miniaturized imaging systems for minimally invasive procedures. These innovations aim to address a major challenge in lung cancer biopsies: a lack of imaging guidance that can lead to significant diagnostic errors. Early clinical pilots across multiple sites are demonstrating strong performance, with one hospital already converting into a paying customer. Looking ahead, the company is partnering with Stanford Medicine to develop AI-driven decision support tools to further improve diagnostic accuracy. Tune in to learn how next-generation imaging and AI are changing that reality and helping physicians hit the right target the first time!

Nihal Arthanayake: From Radio 1 to Corporate Storytelling - Class, Diversity & the BBC's Blind Spots Nihal Arthanayake, former BBC Radio 1 presenter, joins Jimmy's Jobs of the Future to trace his career, from promoting rap nights at 16 and fronting Collapsed Lung to being dropped by a major label and pivoting into music journalism and PR before becoming a Radio 1 DJ in 2002. Nihal explains how radio shifted from gatekeeping to curating as social media and algorithms changed music discovery, and recounts his 23 years across Radio 1, Asian Network and 5 Live, including planning his exit and ultimately being engineered out after speaking out. He argues the BBC's biggest bias is class, says it “lies about diversity,” keeps people of color in boxes, and fears the Daily Mail more than ideological labels suggest. We also discuss interview craft, his book on conversation, and how doing stand-up comedy increased his confidence. 00:00 Intro 01:22 Welcome and Early Dreams 02:51 First Money in Music 05:33 Collapsed Lung Breakthrough 09:22 Go Discs and Muddy Funksters 12:34 Dropped and Reinventing as Journalist 13:46 Why British Rap Lagged 15:36 Gatekeepers to Algorithms 18:14 Landing Radio 1 Asian Beats 22:29 Representation and BBC Culture 31:24 Calling Out Window Dressing 40:05 Is the BBC Left Wing 46:32 Politics and Interview Nerves 49:33 Nerve Wracking Guests 51:08 Peterson Clegg Clash 52:53 Interview Style Lessons 55:06 Talking Ends Conflict 57:36 Mutual Friend Story 01:00:00 Research Like A Pro 01:05:19 No Gotcha Headlines 01:09:12 Media Tech Farage 01:14:55 Politics Brutal Switch 01:26:14 Kids Time Football 01:30:55 Stand Up Confidence Credits: Host/Exec Producer: Jimmy McLoughlin OBE Producer: Sunny Winter Producer: Thuy ********** Follow us on socials!

Over the next several weeks, I'll be sitting down with women who have built incredible businesses from the ground up.

Jennifer has more than 25 years of experience in the apparel industry and has worked for brands including Victoria's Secret, Target, Spanx, and Vanity Fair. After years of designing products for other companies, she saw an opportunity to solve a problem women everywhere know well: finding a bra that is actually comfortable, supportive, and functional for everyday life. The result is HUUG, a line of thoughtfully designed bras and underwear that eliminate many of the frustrations women have come to expect. No removable pads. Comfortable support. Durable construction.

— Today's conversation explores what happens when the old strategy of "pushing through" stops working—and how resilience can be reinvented into a way of living, not just surviving. Nancy and I had a candid, hopeful conversation about learning to live differently after injury and chronic pain. We cover meaningful reflections on shifting identity, the emotional toll of being told you're "fine," rebuilding trust with your body, and the surprising possibilities that open when you stop forcing the old path. This episode is for anyone exhausted by effort that no longer yields results—and for anyone ready to discover a new kind of well-being rooted in acceptance, curiosity, and practical change. Valeria interviews Nancy Deyo  — She is a former Silicon Valley CEO and Stanford University Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow whose career and identity were upended by chronic pain and disability.  After a spinal injury on Mount Kilimanjaro, she spent fifteen years navigating chronic illness, opioid dependence, medical uncertainty, and identity collapse. Once accustomed to a life of constant motion—leading a technology company and traveling the world—pain forced Nancy to live lying down, as the strategies that had defined her no longer worked. When medicine offered no clear answers, she explored everything from cutting-edge treatments to energy healers and shamans. The turning point was not a cure, but a shift: learning to rebuild her life within the constraints of chronic pain. She returned to the world on new terms—attending graduate school lying on an army cot and eventually resuming travel and work the same way. Today, Nancy writes and speaks about chronic pain, identity, and resilience. Her forthcoming memoir is Perilous Ascent.

Sasha Orloff is the CEO and Co-founder of Puzzle, an AI-powered accounting platform helping startups, small businesses, and accounting firms gain real-time financial insights through a smart general ledger. Before Puzzle, he was a serial entrepreneur, serving as Co-founder and CEO of LendUp and Co-founder & Advisor to Mission Lane, with previous ventures collectively raising over $1 billion. Sasha also hosts the "Tech Finance" with Sasha Orloff podcast, where he interviews leaders shaping the future of finance and accounting. In this episode… For many businesses, accounting remains a slow, backward-looking process that delivers insights long after decisions have already been made. As AI reshapes industries across the economy, could financial operations become real-time, accurate, and proactive rather than reactive? What would it take to modernize one of the most critical yet overlooked functions in business? Sasha Orloff, a serial entrepreneur and technology innovator, says the key is to rebuild accounting systems from the ground up, with data integrity and AI at the core. He notes that traditional software lacks real-time intelligence, leading to inefficiencies and delays. By reengineering the general ledger, businesses can access faster, more reliable financial insights and automate complex workflows. AI-powered anomaly detection and reconciliation further improve accuracy while reducing manual effort. The outcome is a more scalable and intelligent financial system for companies of all sizes.

Randal Thames joins me to explore a question that's becoming harder to ignore:What happens when the skills, systems, and assumptions that built your success stop being enough for what comes next?We started with a simple observation.Most people think reinvention happens after disruption.But the people who thrive rarely wait that long.They see change coming before it becomes obvious.Randal brings a unique perspective from decades of leadership, innovation, and helping organizations navigate technological shifts that are reshaping industries faster than most leaders realize.This isn't a conversation about predicting trends.It's about recognizing inevitabilities.We explore why technological disruption follows patterns, how AI is accelerating change across every industry, why waiting for certainty is often the riskiest decision, and what separates people who adapt from those who get left behind.And maybe most importantly—Why the future doesn't arrive all at once.It arrives gradually, rewarding those who prepare before everyone else sees what's coming.TL;DRThe future rewards preparation, not predictionMost disruption happens gradually before it becomes obviousAI is accelerating change across nearly every industryReinvention is easier when it's a choice rather than a necessityTechnology creates both value creation and value destructionTiming matters as much as visionThe biggest opportunities often emerge before mainstream adoptionLeaders must decide whether to react to change or position themselves ahead of itMemorable Lines“The future is built long before most people recognize it.”“Reinvention is a choice—until it becomes a requirement.”“You don't need to predict everything. You need to recognize what's inevitable.”“The biggest risk is assuming tomorrow will look like today.”“Technology doesn't just create winners. It reshapes entire industries.”“Most people wait for certainty. By then, the opportunity is gone.”“The future belongs to people willing to move before everyone else agrees.”GuestRandal Thames — leadership strategist, innovator, and advisor focused on helping organizations and individuals navigate technological change and long-term transformation.Known for his work around innovation, strategic thinking, future-focused leadership, and helping people position themselves ahead of emerging shifts rather than reacting after disruption has already occurred.Why This MattersMost people think change arrives suddenly.It doesn't.The signs are usually there years in advance.Industries shift.Technology evolves.Consumer behavior changes.And while most people wait for certainty, the people creating the future are already moving.That's why reinvention matters.Not because change is coming.Because it's already happening.The real question isn't whether your industry will evolve.It's whether you'll recognize the shift early enough to evolve with it.Because the leaders who thrive in the next decade won't necessarily be the smartest.They'll be the ones willing to rethink who they are, what they do, and where the world is headed before everyone else catches up.

What happens when a chemist accidentally becomes an entrepreneur — and then has to figure out who he is after he sells the company he built? Scott Bening, author of "Formulating Solutions" and the newly released "The Back Nine," joins the podcast to share a career story that is equal parts unexpected and instructive. Scott grew up in Buffalo, New York, earned his degrees from St. Lawrence University and UIC Chicago, and spent just nine months in a laboratory before pivoting into technical sales. That pivot — combining deep scientific knowledge with a learned ability to sell — became the foundation for everything that followed, including leading MonoSol, a manufacturer of water-soluble films with an exclusive supply relationship with Procter & Gamble, and ultimately selling the company to a Japanese acquirer. In this episode, Scott and Michael explore the underrated power of a technical background in sales, the role that journaling played in Scott's first book, and why integrity and relationship-building are not soft concepts but core business drivers. Scott also shares what he learned from a book tour in Japan, where his first book resonated far beyond the audience he originally anticipated. The conversation then turns to "The Back Nine" — Scott's candid guide for baby boomers navigating retirement, finding new purpose, and staying mentally engaged after decades of professional identity. Scott speaks openly about his work mentoring university students and business professionals in transition, and why so few high-achieving people plan seriously for the chapter of life after work. Whether you are building a company, preparing to exit one, or simply trying to lead a more intentional career, this episode delivers hard-won perspective from someone who has done it all and chosen to write it down. Books:  Author of "Formulating Solutions" and "The Back Nine" Website:  https://www.mbs2.org/   Topics covered: Technical sales, entrepreneurship, MonoSol, water-soluble films, Procter & Gamble, career transitions, mentorship, retirement planning, book writing, integrity in business, life after ownership

Josh is a serial entrepreneur with successful exits to PayPal and AT&T, and the co-founder of EnFi, a company modernizing credit risk assessment for the rapidly growing $2+ trillion private credit market.

Topics include: How to start an angel group Why most angel groups fail Creating long-term engagement and trust The benefits founders gain from becoming investors themselves Building a high-quality investment community Fundraising in a Difficult Market The episode dives into the realities founders face when capital markets tighten.

Austin's counterculture is still the ethos. The next chapter is what gets built on top of it. Karen Blashek, the editor-in-chief of Austin Home Magazine, took over a 21-year-old design publication with no editorial background and turned it into one of the city's most consequential platforms for naming what's already happening. We ask why Austin's design talent operates one neighborhood away from its tech talent and neither knows the other exists.

The BPO Industry Isn't Dying. But It May Need to Reinvent Itself Faster Than Anyone Expected. Yuma AI CEO Guillaume Luccisano argues that customer experience providers must evolve from labor arbitrage specialists into AI orchestrators and systems integrators—or risk becoming irrelevant. For years, critics of the business process outsourcing industry have predicted its demise. First it was robotic process automation. Then conversational AI. Then Generative AI. Yet the industry survived every previous wave of disruption because technology changed the way work was delivered rather than eliminating the need for the service itself. In episode 420 of the CX Files, Guillaume talks to Mark Hillary about these changes and how BPOs may need to adapt. https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaumeluccisano/ https://yuma.ai/ -------------- Summary: Mark Hillary and Peter Ryan discuss the impact of AI on the BPO industry, featuring Guillaume Luccisano, CEO of Yuma AI. Luccisano argues that traditional BPO models are outdated, emphasizing AI's potential to automate 100% of customer service within 2-3 years. He highlights Yuma AI's success in deploying AI agents since 2023, achieving automation rates up to 89%. Luccisano predicts a significant shift in the job market due to AI, suggesting BPOs must evolve into systems integrators to survive. He also notes the cost efficiency of AI, with interactions costing under $1 compared to $4-$8 for human agents. ---- The BPO Industry Isn't Dying. But It May Need to Reinvent Itself Faster Than Anyone Expected. Yuma AI CEO Guillaume Luccisano argues that customer experience providers must evolve from labor arbitrage specialists into AI orchestrators and systems integrators—or risk becoming irrelevant. For years, critics of the business process outsourcing industry have predicted its demise. First it was robotic process automation. Then conversational AI. Then Generative AI. Yet the industry survived every previous wave of disruption because technology changed the way work was delivered rather than eliminating the need for the service itself. But according to Guillaume Luccisano, founder and CEO of Yuma AI, this time may be different. Speaking on Episode 420 of the CX Files podcast, Luccisano argued that the traditional BPO model—selling customer service through large pools of human agents—is facing a challenge unlike anything it has encountered before. His view is stark: AI is no longer just helping agents do their jobs better. It is increasingly capable of doing the job itself. And if that trend continues, the industry will need to redefine its purpose. The End of the "Cost Per Interaction" Era Luccisano's company specializes in AI-powered customer service automation for retail and e-commerce brands. He claims some clients are already automating the vast majority of customer interactions. What has changed, he argues, is that AI is no longer limited to answering questions from a knowledge base. Modern AI agents can access customer records, understand context, follow workflows, execute transactions, and complete tasks. In other words, they are moving beyond information retrieval and into operational execution. This matters because the traditional BPO business model has largely been built around charging for human effort—whether measured in agents, hours, seats, or interactions. If AI can handle increasing volumes of customer contacts at a fraction of the cost, then the economics begin to shift dramatically. A contact that once required several dollars of human labor may eventually be resolved for a few cents in computing costs. Even if those figures are debated, the direction of travel is becoming difficult to ignore. The Problem Isn't Technology. It's Incentives. One of Luccisano's most interesting observations is that many outsourcing providers are already talking extensively about AI. The question is whether they are deploying AI to genuinely transform operations or merely adding enough AI to satisfy customer demand while protecting existing revenue streams. That creates an uncomfortable tension. A provider whose business depends on thousands of agents has little incentive to aggressively deploy technology that could reduce the number of agents required. As Luccisano noted, many providers find themselves caught between serving today's business model and preparing for tomorrow's. The challenge is not technical. It is organizational. And perhaps even existential. Why Investors Are Nervous The sharp decline in the share prices of several publicly traded CX providers has fuelled speculation about the sector's future. Luccisano believes investors are not simply reacting to hype. They are attempting to price in a future where customer service becomes significantly more automated, more efficient, and therefore less dependent on large labor-intensive operations. Whether investors have overreacted remains open to debate. But the market is clearly asking a difficult question: What happens to a company built around managing tens of thousands of customer service agents when customers increasingly expect AI-driven efficiency? The answer remains uncertain. But it is a question every provider now has to confront. The Hidden Complexity Most Critics Ignore To his credit, Luccisano does not dismiss the value that BPOs create today. Customer interactions are only one piece of a much larger operational puzzle. Large CX providers manage compliance requirements, regulatory obligations, security controls, multilingual operations, workforce management, governance frameworks, quality assurance, and complex integrations across dozens of markets. Replacing an individual customer service interaction with AI is one thing. Replacing the entire operational framework surrounding customer service is something else entirely. This is where many simplistic predictions about the "death of BPO" fall apart. The institutional knowledge accumulated by major outsourcing firms still has value. The question is whether that value can be repackaged. From Outsourcer to Systems Integrator Perhaps the most important idea from the conversation was Luccisano's belief that the future role of the BPO may look less like a labor provider and more like a systems integrator. Rather than selling headcount, providers could sell expertise. Rather than managing agents, they could manage AI agents. Rather than staffing operations, they could design, orchestrate, govern, optimize, and continuously improve AI-enabled customer experience ecosystems. This is a subtle but profound shift. It moves the provider higher up the value chain. The emphasis shifts from execution to orchestration. From labor to outcomes. From workforce management to intelligent systems management. Ironically, this would bring some BPOs closer to the role that companies like IBM, Accenture, and other major technology integrators evolved into years ago. A Difficult Transition The challenge, of course, is that transformation is easier to describe than to execute. Reinventing a startup is one thing. Reinventing a global organization employing hundreds of thousands of people is another. Many of today's largest CX providers are highly successful businesses with established customer relationships and predictable revenue streams. That success can become a barrier to change. The dilemma is obvious. How aggressively should a company invest in technologies that could cannibalize its own business? History suggests that incumbents often struggle with precisely this problem. The Bigger Question Perhaps the most controversial part of Luccisano's argument extends beyond outsourcing entirely. He believes AI is creating a broader economic transformation that will affect many knowledge-based professions, not just customer service. Software engineering, consulting, administration, legal services, and customer experience are all beginning to feel the effects. If he is right, then the debate is no longer about whether AI will change customer service. The debate is about how quickly institutions can adapt to a world where intelligence itself becomes abundant and inexpensive. The Future May Belong to the Adaptable The most important takeaway from this discussion is not that BPOs are doomed. In fact, Luccisano repeatedly acknowledged that some providers will survive and potentially thrive. But survival may depend on abandoning the assumption that customer service is primarily a labor business. The providers that succeed could be those that become trusted advisors, AI operators, governance experts, and systems integrators. The providers that fail may be those that continue selling people when customers increasingly want outcomes. The outsourcing industry has reinvented itself before. The question now is whether it can do so again—at the speed AI demands.

Matthew Lamoureux joins the conversation to explore a different kind of leadership and life challenge—one that quietly shapes careers long before people realize it: the ability (and willingness) to reinvent yourself before disruption forces it on you.We started with a simple tension.Most people don't fail because they're not capable.They fail because they stay too long in systems that are already changing beneath them.Matthew brings decades of experience across consulting, investing, and venture capital in Silicon Valley, where reinvention isn't a concept—it's a requirement for survival.This isn't a conversation about trends.It's about how the future actually forms, and how individuals and organizations decide whether they will adapt early or react too late.We explore what “inevitable futures” actually mean, why popularity is not a signal of truth, how major technological shifts unfold over decades, and why most value in disruption is captured by outsiders—not incumbents.And most importantly—what it means to choose your role before the system chooses it for you.TL;DRThe future is shaped by inevitability, not popularityMajor shifts take decades, not cyclesDigitalization of value (not just communication) is still incompleteMost disruption value is captured by new entrants, not incumbentsBlockchain and AI are part of broader infrastructure shifts, not standalone trendsThe real decision is what role you choose in the changeTiming matters as much as directionIf you're too early, you fail; if you're too late, you adapt under pressureMemorable Lines“The future is not driven by popularity—it's driven by inevitability.”“You don't want to build companies the world will reject in five years.”“We digitalized communication, but not value transfer.”“Established companies rarely capture the value of disruption.”“Most people don't fail from lack of intelligence—they fail from timing.”“You either reinvent yourself ahead of the curve, or after it's forced on you.”“If computers can do what you do better, reinvention is no longer optional.”GuestMatthew LamoureuxInvestor and venture capitalist with decades of experience in Silicon Valley consulting, strategy, and asset management.Former advisor to major global enterprises including Microsoft, Google, Intel, Cisco, Visa, and Bank of America.Currently focused on backing exponential technologies shaping long-term global systems, including AI, blockchain, life sciences, robotics, and digital infrastructure.Why This MattersMost people think disruption is a moment.It's not.It's a slow restructuring of how systems actually work.And because it moves slowly, most people underestimate it—until it becomes obvious too late.We already lived through one major shift: the digitalization of communication and content.What's still unfolding is bigger: the digitalization of value, systems, energy, health, and infrastructure.And that creates a personal question most people avoid asking:Do I want to be inside the system being disrupted?Or outside it building what comes next?Because reinvention isn't just a strategic advantage anymore.It's becoming a requirement for participation.

In this episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sits down with Dorothy Cascerceri Simone, host and executive producer of That Greenwich Life, for a candid conversation about the evolution of media, storytelling, and authenticity. Dorothy shares her fascinating journey from newspaper reporter and celebrity gossip journalist to podcast host and community voice. From interviewing celebrities on red carpets during the height of magazine culture to building a podcast focused on vulnerability and real-life struggles, Dorothy reflects on how both media and her personal mission have transformed over the years. The conversation explores how traditional media evolved during the rise of digital publishing and social media, how Dorothy pivoted ahead of major industry changes, and why she intentionally created a platform that rejects superficial gossip in favor of deeper human connection. Key Points Dorothy began her career in traditional journalism, balancing newspaper reporting with celebrity coverage for outlets like People Magazine during the early days of online media. She witnessed firsthand the decline of print publications and recognized early that video, digital storytelling, and influencer-style marketing would become the future of media. Dorothy created That Greenwich Life as an “anti-gossip” platform focused on honest conversations about fertility struggles, personal hardships, mental health, and the realities behind polished appearances. Her background in celebrity reporting gave her valuable insight into how media shapes perception, but she ultimately wanted to create content rooted in empathy and humanity instead of sensationalism. Through social media and her podcast, Dorothy has unexpectedly become a trusted community voice in Greenwich, sharing important local information while fostering thoughtful conversations and connection. This episode is both a nostalgic look at the ever-evolving media landscape and an inspiring conversation about personal reinvention. Dorothy's journey reflects how storytelling has evolved from glossy headlines and celebrity culture into something more authentic and human-centered. What stands out most is Dorothy's commitment to using her platform for connection rather than spectacle. Through That Greenwich Life, she's proving that audiences are hungry for honesty, vulnerability, and conversations that go deeper than appearances.

What was your approach to making this version of Selina feel immediately distinct from page one? This Selina feels very self-made, with high-tech gear and a life she's built outside Gotham. What interested you about exploring her at that stage in her life? The Absolute Universe already introduced Selina in Absolute Batman. How did you approach taking an established version of the character and expanding her into her own series? Speaking of collaboration, how do you and Scott split the writing duties? Are you breaking story together, or does one of you take the lead in certain areas? Bengal's art really sells the motion and the tech, especially in action scenes. How closely are you working with him in terms of visual storytelling, and were there any sequences you were especially excited to see him bring to life? The Calicos are a really intriguing addition, with that more classic Catwoman-inspired look. What can you tease about their role in Selina's past and how they shape who she is now? This version of Selina has some bold new elements, including her enhanced gear and abilities. Without spoiling too much, how far are you planning to push what Catwoman can be in the Absolute Universe?

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.
