Podcasts about running a business

A first-time renter got a surprise when their landlord allegedly tried to increase their rent because they were working from home. The tenant said they received a message from their landlord claiming they were “running a business” from the apartment and would have to pay more. The catch? They weren’t running a business at all… they were simply logging into their remote job, opening their laptop, and doing their work from home. Having only moved out of their grandmother’s house five months earlier, the renter was still figuring out the world of renting. They questioned the landlord, asking where in the lease it said working remotely was not allowed or that it justified a rent increase. After being asked to show the rule, the landlord allegedly stopped replying. People online were divided but many found the situation ridiculous, pointing out that working from home doesn’t automatically turn your apartment into an office. The tenant wasn’t seeing clients, storing stock, or running a company from the living room they were just doing their 9-to-5 job. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

This week I’m getting into what’s actually happening to your body during prep at a hormonal and metabolic level — without turning it into a physiology lecture. Leptin, cortisol, thyroid function, metabolic adaptation — these aren’t abstract concepts, they’re the reason you feel the way you feel at six weeks out, and understanding what’s driving those changes makes the experience less alarming and the decisions easier. I’ll keep it accessible but give you enough depth to actually understand what your body is doing and why. Then I’m talking about something I’m navigating in real time right now — running a full coaching business while being an athlete in my own prep. What the dual identity actually costs, how I’m managing it, and the strategy I’m using right now that’s working — staying deliberately busier than usual as a distraction tool to keep my head out of the hunger and in the work. I’ll also be honest about the fact that this approach has an expiration date, and what the pivot looks like when it stops working.

Today's podcast episode is a personal one. I'm talking about ADHD and entrepreneurship - and sharing a bit about my own journey being diagnosed later in life. For years I thought I was just disorganised. I forgot my keys constantly. I always felt behind. And I often felt like everyone else had things figured out except me. Then I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s. And suddenly… things made sense. But this episode isn't just about ADHD. It's about something much bigger:

What happens when you love your work… but your body is tired, the industry feels broken, and motherhood adds a whole new layer to the equation? In this episode of the Working Moms of San Antonio Podcast, we sit down with Sarah Dieringer, owner of The Canine Co., to talk about what it really looks like to build a small business in San Antonio while raising kids, caring for fur babies, and staying true to your values. Sarah shares her 30-year journey in the pet grooming industry, including why she almost walked away, what pulled her back, and how opening her own dog grooming business became the turning point. This conversation is especially for pet owners, working moms, and women entrepreneurs who want to grow a business without sacrificing their family, their health, or their integrity. We talk about: What every pet owner should know about dog grooming and trusting the right professionals The physical and emotional toll of service-based businesses Why so many moms in business question their careers, even when they're good at them Building a values-driven small business in San Antonio Creating a healthy work environment, setting boundaries, and leading a team as a mom Raising kids inside your business and navigating mom guilt in the process This episode is a reminder that you don't have to start over to evolve. You don't have to choose between being a present mom and a successful business owner. And you're not alone in wondering if there's a better way to do both. If you're a San Antonio mom, a pet parent, or a small business owner feeling burned out, unseen, or stuck in the messy middle, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. Because real women. Real business. Real connection.

What would a commercial division add to your residential real estate team? And what does it look like when one generates roughly $100M in active listings — and a $25M portfolio sale — in its first year?You're about to find out. But this episode is about a lot more than a shower-thought-turned-11-agent commercial division.Grant Johnson's Twin Cities team went from selling 100-150 homes per year for nearly a decade to 270, then 539, then 830+ — while adding only 2 staff members along the way. Learn how his 120-agent organization can run with just 5 staff, why they brand around the agent rather than the team, and what he's learned about how (and how not) to expand into new markets.Grant is candid about mistakes and backwards moves to avoid and cautions for aspiring team leaders - all based on his extensive experience.Watch or listen for Grant's insights into:0:00 Intro and welcome1:35 Why 75% of agents should never start a team and what puts someone in the 25% who should 12:31 How to run 120 agents on 5 staff, including the specific roles that held them together as production grew from 150 to 830+ homes per year in 3 years19:03 Why group coaching sessions segmented by production level beat 1-on-1s at scale — and how a culture of peer accountability fills in the rest21:53 How a shower thought became a commercial division in one week that now includes 11 agents, ~$100M in listings, and a $25M portfolio sale in year one23:28 Why applying residential marketing (like high-end video walkthroughs) to commercial listings is attracting commercial agents27:31 The referral flywheel between residential and commercial agents (a $5M sale, a 25% referral fee, and zero deal work for the residential side)31:59 Why cold calling agents is the wrong first move in market expansion (and what he's doing differently for the next expansion)37:00 Why you don't need to incessantly brand your real estate team (even if someone tells you to)39:29 The weekly meetings and monthly financial reviews that keep the team connected in a high-growth environment47:07 At the end, learn about rooting for your competitors, a $60-a-day coffee habit, what happens when two universities politely ask you not to come back, and learning from people rather than pages.Mentioned in this Episode:→ Scaling a Real Estate Team to $6 Billion in Production with Jason Mitchell→ Building a Real Estate Company That Works Without Your Production with Jason Mitchell→ Why Most Real Estate Team Leaders Shouldn't Be Team Leaders with Jon CheplakConnect with Grant Johnson:→ https://www.instagram.com/thereal.grantjohnson/→ grant at grantjohnson dot com→ 651 324 3787Connect with Real Estate Team OS:→ https://www.realestateteamos.com→ https://linktr.ee/realestateteamos→ https://www.instagram.com/realestateteamos/

A behind-the-scenes look at the real, unfiltered juggle of running a business while raising a family. In this episode, I'm sharing the contrast between big career moments and the everyday realities of motherhood, plus the systems, support, and mindset shifts that make it all possible. Key Takeaways The "highlight vs reality" contrast is normal You can go from career highs to cleaning up sick (or dealing with nits) overnight. Both can exist and that doesn't diminish your success. You don't have to do it all alone Support systems; whether that's a partner, family, freelancers, or automation, are often the hidden foundation behind sustainable businesses. Boundaries are essential (but hard) Switching off from a creative business isn't easy, but protecting your time (especially with family) is key to long-term wellbeing. Simplify your to-do list to feel progress A never-ending list leads to burnout. Focusing on just 3 priority tasks a day can create momentum and satisfaction. Episode Highlights 01:00 – Career highs vs everyday mum life 03:00 – Flexibility and family priorities 04:10 – Struggling to switch off from work 05:40 – Overwhelm and managing your to-do list 07:00 – Why "doing it all" is a myth 08:10 – Systems, outsourcing & automation 10:10 – Flexibility, trade-offs & ambition Mentioned in the episode Esther Young's Episode Dubsado How I edit my videos YouTube vid I would love to hear what you think of this episode, so please do let me know on Instagram where I'm @‌lizmmosley or @‌buildingyourbrandpodcast and I hope you enjoy the episode!

In this episode of the Builders of Authority podcast, I sit down with Colin McNeil, owner of the McNeil Insurance Group, for a deep and personal conversation about growth, accountability, and the realities of entrepreneurship. We take a trip down memory lane, reflecting on our shared history playing sports in St. Louis and attending high school together.Colin opens up about a defining period during his sophomore year when he faced academic ineligibility and a significant identity crisis. He credits a high-stakes meeting with his dean, Mr. Walsh, as the turning point that provided him with a roadmap to get his life back on track: a lesson in resilience that continues to fuel his business today.

Have questions? Send me a text hereThere are 76 million Baby Boomers in the US and they have been retiring at an impressive rate. But only about 10% have retired. That's a small number. In less than 5 years all Boomers will have reached the age of 65. Of course not everyone will automatically retire at 65. Some will never retire either by choice or out of necessity. This massive number of retirees creates an opportunity for anyone looking to buy a business as well as for Boomers. I would love to hear from you.

Pete Ochs did exactly that — and what started as a labor solution became one of the most remarkable stories of business as mission in the modern faith-and-work movement. Main Topics: How Pete moved his manufacturing company into a maximum security prison in Hutchinson, Kansas — and what happened next The "triple bottom line" framework of economic, social, and spiritual capital that guides all of Pete's business decisions The transformational power of a job: why employment is one of the most powerful upstream solutions to recidivism, hopelessness, and broken communities The "how much is enough?" question — and how Pete and a group of peers built a 25-year commitment around capping lifestyle and stewarding the delta Why generosity is a subset of stewardship — and how inmates at Sea King out-give their civilian counterparts three to one Guest Quotes: "When you give a man a job and have high expectations for him, and then love him like you love yourself, really befriend him, and then talk about a purpose in life — powerful things happen. It is amazing." — Pete Ochs "I thought the purpose of business was to make money and give it away… God really reoriented me to what true stewardship is. I really think generosity is a subset of stewardship." — Pete Ochs "It's an unbelievable thing to see a man that has no hope come to hope. I think business is really about people. I think we should be in business to really transform society." — Pete Ochs Description: Pete Ochs didn't set out to change the prison system. In 2005, he needed entry-level labor for his rapidly growing manufacturing company in Hutchinson, Kansas. A work release program gave him ten inmates. He wanted twenty more. Instead, he got an offer: move part of his business inside a maximum security prison. Thirty days later, he did. What followed was a 20-year journey that would reshape Pete's understanding of business, stewardship, generosity, and the gospel. Today, Sea King — the business Pete operates inside Hutchinson Correctional Facility — has seen men come to Christ, complete three-year seminary programs, raise $15,000 for a fellow inmate's mother whose house burned down, and walk out of prison as business owners. Two former gang leaders who once tried to kill each other now stand before 60 to 80 men daily, mentoring new inmates in the church Pete built inside the prison walls. In this conversation with Justin Forman, Pete unpacks the "triple bottom line" of economic, social, and spiritual capital — and why leading with a job, not a sermon, is often the most powerful thing a faith-driven entrepreneur can do. He also shares the defining question that changed his life: How much is enough? — and what it looks like for entrepreneurs to cap their lifestyle, steward the delta, and finish well. About the Guest: Pete Ochs is a businessman, entrepreneur, and advocate for prison ministry and business as mission. He is the founder of Capital III and operates manufacturing businesses — including Sea King and Capital Electric — inside the Hutchinson Correctional Facility in Kansas. Pete has spent more than 20 years championing the idea that business is one of the most powerful tools for human transformation and Kingdom impact.

After reviving the oldest operating soda fountain in the state of Wyoming, I can tell you firsthand that there is something deeply meaningful about bringing an old place back to life. Yet, like most things we romanticize from a distance, it's usually a whole lot less romantic up close.Since buying the soda fountain five years ago, I've had a lot of people ask about following in my footsteps.

In this episode, Weston sits down with Wes Roberts of Wes Roberts Landscaping to talk about the mindset it takes to keep going after nearly three decades in the industry.

Send me a Text Message. I'm getting personal in this episode of Pattern Shift — recorded from my brand new praktijk in Rotterdam. I trace why I bootstrapped from 300 euros, refused investors, never built a conventional team, and kept rebuilding the brand. I name Pathological Demand Avoidance directly and connect it to my lifelong distrust of the ready-made — in business, fashion, and a painting I found on the side of the road last week. From sour puss to happy kitty: on curiosity as the antidote to cynicism, and three questions to find out where you're running on borrowed structure. You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching. Coaching gets a bad rep sometimes, but when it's done right, it can be really transformational. As part of my coaching education, I'll soon need to do real coaching sessions. And it could be a really great opportunity for you to experience it at no or low cost. If you've ever been curious about working with me in this way, now's the time.

How many times have you thought about closing down your business this month? This week? Today?Every single hand went up when I asked four female ADHD founders that question. Because here's what nobody posts on Instagram: running a business with ADHD is the quickest way to figure out how your ADHD shows up as both a struggle AND a strength.In this raw, honest, and hilarious live panel, I sat down with Jess (Sacred and Wild), Cat (Yogi Bare), Katie France (Love Bomb Bags), and Natt (Waking Dreams) to talk about the reality of being a female founder with ADHD.We talk about people-pleasing that nearly cost Cat her entire business, Katie's struggle with posting out the right bags to the right people (executive function is REAL), why having two ADHD brains in business together means you might "accidentally commit fraud," and how Jess's perfectionism has kept years of work hidden from the world.But we also talk about why none of us go back. Why the 9-5 isn't an option for brains wired like ours. Why freedom matters more than money. And why, despite everything, we keep showing up.Natt drops the mic with: "Your ADHD would not even be a talking point without capitalism."And Jess reminds us all: "I see the work people put out into the world and I just think, bloody well done. I don't judge it. I just really respect people trying and just being out there doing it."This one's for every woman who's ever felt like giving up but keeps showing up anyway.IN THIS EPISODE:✨ Why we all threaten to quit (regularly)✨ How people-pleasing can cost you everything✨ Executive function struggles are not stupidity✨ The reality of working with other ADHDers✨ How perfectionism keeps you stuck✨ Why we can't go back to corporate burnout✨ The real reason we keep going (it's not money)✨ Why capitalism makes ADHD "problematic"✨ Taking a day off is productive, actually✨ Giving yourself the same grace you give other womenFour incredible women. Four thriving businesses. Four ADHD brains refusing to dim down.Generator. Alive. Colourful. Chaotic.Not broken. Not struggling. Not failing.Bloody well done for just doing it.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Sheila Gujrathi about trust: why it sits at the heart of running a business, and why it becomes even more critical as responsibility, complexity, and stakes increase. Sheila reflects that trust is important for all working relationships: between founders and teams, executives and boards, leaders and investors, and why without it, progress stalls. But she is clear: trust does not begin with others. It begins with trusting yourself; your judgement, your instincts, and the signals you learn to listen to over time. The conversation explores how experience, conditioning, and past trauma shape how we trust. Whether that shows up as self-doubt, over-trusting others, or good girl syndrome in the hope of gaining approval. Sheila shares how these patterns can feel useful early in a career but become limiting as responsibility grows. She also speaks about learning to stop blanket trusting people, becoming more discerning, and intentionally building environments of trust by surrounding herself with peers who offer honesty, clarity, and reflection. This episode is a reminder that trust is not blind optimism. It is a daily practice and quiet work that makes running a business possible. About the Guest: SHEILA GUJRATHI, MD, is a biotech entrepreneur, executive, champion for under-represented leaders, and author of the bestselling book The Mirror Effect: A Transformative Approach to Growth for The Next Generation of Female Leaders. Over the past 25 years, she's had the privilege of developing life-changing medicines for patients with serious diseases while building and running private and public biotech companies—including some exciting exits. Today she's a founder, chairwoman, board director, strategic advisor, and consultant to start-up companies and investment funds. She co-founded the Biotech CEO Sisterhood, a group of trailblazing female CEOs—because we're all better when we support each other.

Have you ever stopped mid-week and asked yourself, “Am I running a business… or quietly building a burnout factory?” In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many wedding pros end up exhausted, resentful, and constantly “on”—and why it has far less to do with workload and far more to do with the systems (or lack of systems) holding your business together. I share my own behind-the-scenes stories of overworking, blurred boundaries, and the moments that made me realize something had to change.Topics covered in this episode include:The subtle habit that reveals you're “always on” without realizing itWhy repeating the same tasks is silently draining your time and energyA key mindset shift that stops reactive chaos in its tracksThe surprising boundary most wedding pros forget to set—and why it mattersHow to identify your personal “how I work best” blueprintThe overlooked system that frees up your brain more than any appI would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JenTaylorConsulting/ & Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jentaylorconsulting/!Resources Mentioned:Book a Free Business AuditShow notes available at: https://jentaylorconsulting.com/design-your-wedding-business-podcast/

Running a business is more than strategy and numbers. It's momentum, pressure, excitement, and responsibility–often all in the same day. It's making decisions without perfect information, trusting your instincts, and living with the outcome.In This Is Small Business, host Andrea Marquez sits down with founders and creators to talk honestly about what it's really like to run a business. The highs that keep you going. The moments that make you pause. The decisions that change how you see your business and yourself.These conversations go beyond how companies grow. They get into the emotional reality of entrepreneurship: the confidence, the doubt, the energy it takes to keep showing up. If you've ever wondered what it actually feels like to build and run a business, this is the place for you.

What do you do when your pet care business feels stuck in the same old patterns? In this episode, we talk about how "ruts" form in our businesses the same way they do on a muddy trail—through repeated, unexamined habits over time. We explain the brain science behind habitual neural pathways, how stress and burnout make ruts deeper, and why comfort and fear of change keep us on the same path. We then walk through the three biggest rut zones for pet sitters and dog walkers: marketing, services, and admin overload, with practical questions to help you spot where you're stuck. Finally, we share simple experiments and the importance of revisiting your purpose so you can start building new paths that actually fit the business and life you want today. Main topics: How business ruts quietly form Brain science behind habits Marketing ruts and client behavior Service evolution and client expectations Admin overload and survival mode Main takeaway: "Great businesses don't sit in ruts. They have to adapt." If your pet care business looks and runs exactly like it did five or ten years ago, this episode is your invitation to pause and take a fresh look. We talk about how ruts form in your marketing, your services, and your admin systems—often because your brain is tired, stressed, or simply clinging to what's familiar. You'll hear practical, low-pressure ideas for trying one new thing this week, plus questions to help you decide if you'd build your business the same way today. Most importantly, we'll help you reconnect with your purpose so you're not just surviving the busy seasons, but shaping a business that actually fits your life now.
