Proverbs 25:16-19Leave them wanting more, verbal WMD, relying on the unreliable

In today's episode, I sit down with my incredible friend Adriana Martinez—an entrepreneur and a wife who has built and run successful businesses. What makes Adriana's story so powerful is not just her business acumen, but the deep, personal transformation she's gone through in her journey as a leader. She's someone who leads with both heart and mind, and in this episode, we dive deep into the real struggles, the lessons learned, and the challenges of leadership that don't often get talked about.About Adriana Adriana is the owner of Revel Workshop, a luxury salon focused on elevating stylists careers through top tier education and mentorship. As a personal and professional budgeting coach, she helps individuals and small business owners take control of their finances and build sustainable success. Passionate about connecting people and fostering growth, Adriana thrives on empowering others to achieve financial freedom and business excellence.The Constant Battle of LeadershipAdriana and I discussed how, in her journey as a business owner, she's learned the hard way that success is not just about achieving a goal—it's about navigating relationships. She runs two salons now, but no longer takes clients herself. Instead, she depends on the team she's built. And as any entrepreneur knows, that reliance on others can be terrifying.Adriana explained that her success is directly tied to the success of those around her. If an employee leaves, it sends a ripple effect through her business, and it's hard not to take it personally. She wants the best for her team, but at the same time, she can't help but feel disappointed and question her role as a leader when someone walks away.The Struggle with Loyalty and AbandonmentOne of the most real and raw moments came when Adriana admitted her fear of abandonment—something that I think many business owners can relate to. She's fiercely loyal, and she wants to offer the same loyalty in return. But when someone leaves, it can feel like a personal betrayal.This led us into a powerful conversation about capacity—both the capacity of those who work with you and the capacity of yourself as a leader. I asked her the tough question: Do you really expect everyone to match your capacity?Her answer was insightful: Not necessarily, but it's hard to see them leave because it feels like failure.I reminded her that no one else will ever be able to match her level of commitment and capacity, especially if they are not in the same business-owner role. And the difference between what she expects and what others can deliver is where the disappointment lies.The Hard Truth of Leadership: Not Everyone StaysAdriana shared that she knows logically that employees leave because it's time for them to grow, and that they are not abandoning her. But the emotional side of her—fueled by that deep sense of loyalty—makes it feel like a personal loss.We both agreed that this is an inherent part of business ownership. You pour so much into people, and when they leave, it can feel like everything you've built is crumbling. But the reality is, it's just part of the process. People come, people go. As leaders, we must embrace this as part of the natural flow of growth.The Importance of Words of AffirmationOne of the key moments in our conversation was when Adriana admitted something that she had long avoided—she is, in fact, a words of affirmation person. As much as she resisted it, I could tell that hearing those words of appreciation made a difference for her. She shared how she does everything for people, often with no expectation of recognition, but deep down, she craves acknowledgment.I pointed out that we often mistake confirmation for affirmation. Confirmation simply states that something is true—like a ticket for a flight. It's factual, impersonal. Affirmation, on the other hand, acknowledges the goodness of what we do and who we are. It's not about fluff—it's about recognizing effort, commitment, and value. Adriana hadn't fully embraced that she needs affirmation too, but the more we unpacked this, the clearer it became.Creating a Safe Space for VulnerabilityOne of the things I admire most about Adriana is her ability to create safety for others. She may not always want or seek affirmation, but she unknowingly creates a space where her team and clients feel safe to share, grow, and even leave when the time is right. That safety comes from trust, and I encouraged her to allow herself to experience the same kind of trust in return.Leaders often think they have to protect themselves from getting hurt, but what if we created spaces where we could allow ourselves to be seen and affirmed too?Letting Go of ControlAdriana also shared her internal battle with letting go of control. For a long time, she thought that to keep things running smoothly, she needed to handle it all herself. She resisted relying on others. But through the years, she's realized that leadership doesn't mean doing everything yourself. It means trusting others, and embracing the idea that not everyone will stay forever, and that's okay.I encouraged her to celebrate the contributions of her team, and to reframe the way she looks at people leaving. Rather than feeling abandoned, what if she saw it as the natural progression of their growth? They are moving on to the next phase of their life, and her role was to help them get there.The Takeaway: Safe Spaces and GrowthThe most powerful lesson in this episode? We need to start seeing ourselves for who we are and what we're doing. We need to recognize that, as leaders, we are not just responsible for the success of our business—we're also responsible for creating environments that allow people to thrive, grow, and sometimes move on.Adriana's story is a testament to the power of vulnerability, clarity, and affirmation. As leaders, we must be open to receiving those things just as much as we offer them.Resources MentionedJoin my free leadership workshop: https://rockygarza.com/confidence Follow Adriana on Instagram: @adrianaymartinezAdriana's website: https://revelworkshop.com Key Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Unfinished Leadership00:39 Adriana Martinez's Journey and Challenges01:27 The Struggles of Relying on Others02:47 Balancing Personal and Professional Relationships04:34 The Emotional Impact of Employee Turnover09:02 Seeking Affirmation and Appreciation17:24 Creating a Safe and Loyal Work Environment19:01 Navigating Business Challenges20:25 Reframing Employee Departures21:26 Creating a Supportive Culture22:36 Balancing Vulnerability and Strength24:38 The Importance of Affirmation25:36 Building Trust and Safety27:14 Embracing Words of Affirmation34:36 Final Reflections and EncouragementTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

Just because there's money in the bank doesn't mean your business is truly profitable. In this episode, Danielle lays out the most common (and sneaky) financial mistakes she sees entrepreneurs and small business owners making without even realizing they're doing it. From undercharging to over-relying on your gut, Danielle is not here to shame you—she's here to show you how to avoid them so you have the tools you need to build your business with confidence, clarity, and a financial plan that supports your vision.  Key Takeaways:  Your Bank Balance is Not the Full Picture: Why real profitability lives beyond what's in your checking account. Profit is not the same as cash flow, and both matter in different ways.  You Don't Have to Do It All Yourself: You're not a bookkeeper—and you don't need to be! Delegating your money tasks is one of the most empowering moves you can make. Outsourcing your books (or any task that's not your expertise) isn't giving up control, it's giving yourself the ability to make smarter business decisions.  Knowing Your Numbers Puts You In Control: Reviewing your financial statements monthly isn't just “nice”, it's necessary. It keeps you from guessing and it's how you grow with intention.  Pricing for Profit, Not Panic: Undercharging leads to burnout. You deserve to get paid what your work is worth—and then some. Create a Plan for the Slow Seasons: Feast-or-famine is not a strategy. Use data to build stability and breathe easier year-round. Think In Terms of the Long-Game: Even if you love your work now, it's never too early to plan for the future. Building a business that runs without you means real freedom.

Relying On A Power Greater Than Myself | Pentecost by Fr. Kris Schmidt

In times of uncertainty, knowing what your business is worth—and how to protect or grow that value—can feel elusive. You are never sure what business you are really in. What should you do? How can you retain the value you have created and prepare for the next growth phase, or even the exit strategy? On this recent episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dave Bookbinder. Dave is a business valuation expert whose groundbreaking work focuses on an often-overlooked truth: your people are your most valuable asset. Dave, the author of The New ROI: Return on Individuals, joined me to unpack how business owners can better understand, manage, and maximize the value of their companies—especially in a rapidly changing business environment. His key message? Valuation isn't just a number. It's a reflection of leadership, culture, and strategic clarity. Let me repeat that:  Your business's value is a reflection of leadership, culture, and strategic clarity. What can Dave teach you about how to build and protect that value? The Human Side of Valuation Dave's experience spans thousands of valuation engagements across industries. And while balance sheets highlight assets like patents and trademarks, human capital rarely makes the cut. “Every CEO says their people are their most valuable asset,” Dave points out, “but where do they show up on the balance sheet? They don't.” That gap sparked his first book, The New ROI, which explores the critical link between culture, engagement, and enterprise value. His second, The New ROI: Going Behind the Numbers, draws from his award-winning podcast, Behind the Numbers, which focuses on how leadership and culture truly impact business performance. You will totally enjoy watching our video of the podcast here. Common Valuation Mistakes Dave shared some of the biggest pitfalls business owners face when it comes to valuing their company: Relying on rules of thumb: “Back-of-the-napkin” valuations based on hearsay can be wildly misleading. Dave recounted a client who declined a generous acquisition offer assuming better ones would follow. Years later, the business couldn't command even half that valuation. Tax-driven financials: Many entrepreneurs minimize income to reduce taxes, only to struggle during a sale. Buyers don't take your word for “adjusted EBITDA”—they want clean, auditable numbers. Unrealistic projections: Over-optimistic forecasts, especially those shaped like a hockey stick, often destroy credibility with buyers. “They're buying the future,” Dave says. “And if your projections seem disconnected from market realities, they'll discount for risk.” De-Risking Your Business to Maximize Value Buyers and investors are risk-averse. That's why Dave emphasizes the need to "de-risk" your business: Clean financial statements: Avoid running personal expenses through the business. Have your books reviewed or audited by a CPA. Strong management team: If the business can't run without you, it's not scalable—or sellable. Documented processes: Institutional knowledge should live in systems, not just in people's heads. “If your business can't survive you getting hit by a bus,” Dave quips, “you don't have a sellable business.” Exit Planning is a Process, Not an Event Whether you're transferring ownership to a family member or preparing for an acquisition, Dave urges owners to think ahead. “Selling a business is like selling a house,” he explains. “You need to get an appraisal, clean it up, and understand what similar businesses are selling for.” He also warned that poorly integrated acquisitions often fail—not due to valuation issues, but because of clashing cultures. “Seventy-five to ninety percent of deals miss their synergy targets because they ignore people and culture,” he says. Why Culture is Core to Company Value As a corporate anthropologist, I know firsthand how culture shapes performance. Dave agrees. “It's not that successful companies have a good culture—it's that good culture drives success,” he said. When leaders overlook how work gets done—or try to impose a new cultural model without understanding the old one—they risk alienating key people and destroying value. Culture is the operating system of the business. Your People Are Your Value Dave's work offers a refreshing, human-centric view of business valuation.

In this episode, Ross lays down the law on modern content distribution and why "hoping it goes viral" isn't a strategy. He breaks down the five most common mistakes marketers make with distribution, highlights the new reality of reaching audiences in the AI and multi-channel era, and walks you step-by-step through building a powerful, repeatable distribution system that delivers results. If you've been creating high-quality content but struggling to get it in front of the right audience, this episode gives you the system, mindset, and framework to turn things around. Key Takeaways and Insights: Hope Is NOT a Strategy Pressing “publish” is not enough to drive content success. Distribution is what transforms good content into great, high-impact content. If no one sees your content, it may as well not exist. 5 Common Distribution Mistakes Publish Once, Then Disappear Celebrate distribution, not just publishing. Implement a content distribution calendar to continuously share and promote assets. Relying on a Single Channel Multi-channel presence is essential to stay top of mind and generate multiple touch points. Don't stick to just LinkedIn or X — explore YouTube, Reddit, newsletters, Slack groups, and more. Assuming Organic Reach is Guaranteed Social and SEO algorithms don't owe you visibility. Use rented platforms to build owned ones (e.g., newsletters), and pair organic with smart paid amplification. Not Repurposing Content A blog post should become a LinkedIn carousel, a video, a thread on X, a newsletter, etc. Embrace the mantra: Create Once, Distribute Forever. Failure to Track Performance You can't optimize what you don't measure. Use tools like GA4, HubSpot, Ahrefs, etc., to analyze what's working. How to Build a Real Distribution System Audience & Content Market Fit Research Understand who your audience is, their interests, pain points, and where they hang out online. Go beyond business competitors — study top-performing content in other niches (MrBeast, Yoga with Adriene, etc.) to understand attention mechanics. Create a High-Value Pillar Asset Choose a format (blog post, video, case study, podcast, etc.). This asset will form the nucleus of your distribution efforts. Repurpose & Atomize Break your pillar asset into quotes, clips, carousels, threads, email snippets, and more for long-term promotion. Define Distribution Across PESO Paid (ads, boosts) Earned (press, influencer shares) Shared (social, communities) Owned (newsletter, blog) Measure Everything & Iterate Use data to guide future efforts and content decisions. Recommended tools: Google Analytics 4, HubSpot, Ahrefs, SparkToro, UTM dashboards, and Distribution.AI. Resources & Tools:

https://jo.my/2wuutw What Makes PPE The Last Line Of Defense? Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in warehouse safety, but it's important to remember where it stands in the safety hierarchy. PPE isn't your first defense—it's your last. Relying on it too early—or misusing it—can give a false sense of security and put people at risk. One of the top priorities of a solid Safety Culture is eliminating hazards before workers are exposed. Engineering solutions, process changes, and administrative controls should come first. PPE only steps in when all other methods fall short. But when used correctly, it can mean the difference between a close call and a life-altering injury. Here are a few tips to assist you with understanding why PPE is the last line of defense: Always aim to eliminate the hazard first. Before anyone reaches for PPE, ask the right questions. Can the hazard be removed, reduced, or replaced? If there's a way to eliminate the need for PPE, take it. PPE should never be your go-to fix. PPE supports safety—it doesn't replace it. You can't use PPE to escape unsafe processes. Think of PPE like a seatbelt. It helps after something goes wrong. Safety systems, training, and engineering controls are your primary defenses. PPE adds one more layer. Know what your PPE is protecting you from. Every piece of gear serves a purpose—gloves for cuts, goggles for splashes, and hearing protection for loud machinery. If you don't understand the hazard, you won't know if your PPE is the right match—or if you need more. Wearing the wrong PPE can be worse than wearing none at all. Gloves that snag on conveyor belts, goggles that fog and block your view, and ill-fitting gear that causes distractions. If PPE is uncomfortable or interferes with your work, you're more likely to misuse it or skip it altogether, which opens the door to accidents. Make PPE a shared responsibility. Supervisors need to provide the right gear, workers need to wear it correctly, and everyone needs to speak up when something's not working. PPE works best when supported by teamwork and communication. PPE can only do its job when everything else has been done first. That includes hazard assessments, safety procedures, and routine inspections. PPE is the backup plan, not the first solution. So, before putting it on, ask yourself: Did we do everything possible to make this task safe without it? Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time – have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #SafetyCulture #PPEAwareness #SafetyCulture #PersonalProtectiveEquipment #PPE

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! Marketing your canine rehab practice can feel overwhelming with all the noise out there—but it doesn't have to be. In this week's podcast episode, I'm breaking down what I believe are the 3 key facets of marketing for any canine rehab business, whether you're solo, mobile, brick-and-mortar, or growing a team. Listen to the full episode as we discuss: Canine rehab marketing should be built on three pillars: digital, external, and internal strategies. Google (especially Google My Business) should be the primary digital focus due to its effectiveness and low cost. Social media is better for brand awareness and education, not short-term client acquisition. External marketing (e.g., vet referrals, events, partnerships) is valuable but time-intensive and inconsistent. Internal marketing focuses on turning current clients into repeat or referral clients through word-of-mouth and wellness programs. Relying on only one type of marketing creates instability—diversify efforts across all three areas. As your business grows, delegate tactical tasks so you can focus on strategic planning. Track your marketing metrics (lead source, conversions, spending behavior) to make smarter, data-driven decisions. Tailor your marketing efforts to what your business needs at its current stage, not based on trends or pressure from others. Are you interested in learning more about our K9Rehab Marketing platform?

First, we tackle the latest cases in the Supreme Court. The justices are behaving exactly as I predicted — giving Trump small victories on issues that should never be adjudicated while allowing lower courts to mow down the core of his agenda. Relying on the Supreme Court is a fool's errand. Next, we're joined by Dr. Lynn Fynn, one of our hero COVID doctors, who warns us that the new administration is being subversive on COVID vaccines. Although the new guidance appears to be incremental approval at the surface level, if you look at the guidance and accompanying statements, it is actually a limited hangout designed to cement the core of the respiratory viral vaccine agenda. Officials refuse to recognize safety issues, negative efficacy, viral immune escape, and DNA contamination, just to mention a few. Dr. Fynn also believes this is emblematic of a broader problem of the medical freedom movement getting hijacked by hucksters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jane, Laraine, & Gilda join Bob & Ray for a show filmed in 8H, produced and shot by the SNL crew, and (except for a Weekend Update) could easily be seen as a decent episode hosted by the duo.Relying mostly on seasoned bits by the two comic icons the special does tend to, at times, feel bogged down. But there are some definite high points, especially when the writing slides over into the SNL sensibilities.And of course there are musical guests!

In this episode, Rick Beal and Megan Smith discuss the critical role of systems in achieving business growth, emphasizing that without proper systems, businesses are likely to fail. They explore the pitfalls of relying too heavily on exceptional employees, the complexities that come with growth, and the importance of establishing processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure consistency and efficiency. The conversation highlights the need for business owners to step back from daily tasks to focus on strategic growth and the value of documenting processes to empower employees and reduce stress.TakeawaysYour business is going to fail without systems.Growth is more complicated than it looks.Relying solely on Rockstar employees is setting yourself up for failure.Growth isn't just adding more facilities; it's about managing complexity.Making things simple is extremely difficult.Processes can be a hindrance to growth if not managed properly.The power of systems brings consistency and reduces mistakes.SOPs provide clarity and eliminate confusion for employees.Start with the biggest heartburn of your company when creating SOPs.Systems are essential for scaling and operational efficiency.

Ephesians 3:14-20 — While the Christian life is to be one of joy, it is common for Christians to feel depressed. Why is this? In this sermon “That Your Joy May Be Full” from Ephesians 3:14–21, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues exploring the reasons for spiritual depression. One reason many fall into spiritual depression is that they fail to realize what they were meant to be, what is available for them, and what God intends. Relying on initial experiences of forgiveness, this person fails to go on in their faith and grow in their knowledge and understanding. This leads the individual to their biggest problem: they don't really know the love of God. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains God's intention for the Christian and how one might receive what intended for them. This should not leave the believer with a feeling of hopelessness, but rather an eagerness and joy as they see what they can become. When they understand the truth that Christ dwells in them, they are ravished by Him and love Him. What is the Christian destiny and where are they heading? The Christian will spend eternity enjoying God. Today, the downcast soul must fight spiritual depression through regaining this robust view of who they are and where they are heading.

Join Baylor Barbee in this compelling episode of Shark Theory as he converses with Jace about the crucial subject of self-elevation and personal growth. The discussion takes cues from their shared Saturday morning basketball sessions and illustrates how camaraderie and self-imposed discipline contribute to a richer life. Jeyse's philosophy and lifestyle brand, "Just Elevate Yourself," underscores the importance of being your own critic and the power of self-driven success. In the episode, Baylor explores the concept of self-criticism as a vital tool for personal growth, emphasizing that true success is not dependent on external validation or conditions. He argues that recognizing one's potential and pushing oneself beyond perceived limits more effectively leads to lasting achievements. Through a deeper understanding of Jeyse's backstory—a narrative filled with resilience and overcoming adversity—the conversation unearths the importance of sharing personal stories to uplift and inspire others. Baylor reaffirms that everyone carries burdens, but through self-elevation, individuals can contribute to a more supportive and collective societal growth. Key Takeaways: Self-elevation is essential: An individual's growth is mainly dependent on their ability to be their own critic and push themselves toward greatness. Overcoming adversity can inspire: Sharing personal stories of overcoming challenges is crucial, as it provides hope and guidance to others who may face similar situations. Everyone has a story: The unique experiences of each person can serve as a tool for inspiration and motivation in the lives of others. Building a supportive community: Collective growth is achieved when individuals elevate themselves and, as a result, elevate those around them. The power of intrinsic motivation: Relying on internal drive rather than external circumstances or approvals is key to achieving authentic success. Notable Quotes: "True growth in life is when you are harder on yourself than someone else is." "You have so much potential, there is no ceiling. But if you don't believe it, then it doesn't matter what anybody else does." "The biggest travesty in life is when someone else is a bigger advocate for your potential than you are for you." "Just think of whose life you can change simply by sharing your story." "Every one of us is carrying some sort of hurt... and it's on us to continue to elevate ourselves."
