My friend Bevis (Griffin, who's been a guest on this show), texted me Saturday about havin Hunt on the show. I flipped-out and sad, YES! so, yesterday hunt came over to the apartment and we got to talk. We got to patch-up some weirdness that was lingering between from a record  we worked on over a decade ago and he told me about his journey. From being around his father, Soupy's musician friends, playing his first session at 10 years old, Todd Rundgren at 15, Iggy Pop and David Bowie, working and most of all, staying true to what you do. Hunt is an inspiration. He plays from his heart. He always has. Check out the videos on our facebook page and you'll see what I mean. This conversation inspired me to no end.

Jeremy Greene has, and it's just one of the fascinating stories he shares on this episode of the Quarterback Dadcast. As a father of two young children and the co-founder of Feather, a relationship-focused productivity platform, Jeremy brings a refreshing perspective on balancing entrepreneurship with present parenting.  Growing up in a family where his grandfather and father built a successful residential construction business, Jeremy absorbed powerful values that now shape his approach to parenting. "Family is everything at the center," he explains, describing how this foundation has only strengthened since meeting his wife Christina, whose West Indian culture similarly prioritizes family bonds.The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Jeremy recounts his son Cameron's birth – a four-hour labor that culminated with delivery in a hospital elevator with the help of a doctor who happened to be nearby. This story of unexpected challenge mirrors Jeremy's entrepreneurial journey, which began when he recognized the need for better relationship management tools while sending Father's Day messages to fellow dads in his contact list.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Jeremy's honesty about his parenting struggles. He openly discusses his efforts to be more present despite the demands of building a company, sharing practical wisdom like taking ten seconds before entering the home to reset his energy. His three-part advice for fellow fathers – energy management, partner alignment, and giving yourself grace – offers simple yet powerful practices for anyone navigating the complex journey of parenthood.Whether you're an entrepreneur balancing work demands with family life or simply a father looking for inspiration, Jeremy's blend of vulnerability, practical wisdom, and unwavering commitment to family values will leave you with actionable insights for your own parenting journey.

Can storytelling really transform the way we lead, connect, and communicate at work? In this episode, I'm joined by TEDx speaker, trauma-informed coach, and author of Meerbott's Fables, Kelly Meerbott. Inspired by none other than Dr. Seuss, Kelly's tales aren't just for bedtime—they're changing how leaders talk about tough topics like psychological safety, DEI, burnout, and inclusion. We unpack why storytelling hits so differently today, how it can cut through corporate noise, and why the ability to connect emotionally might just be the most underrated leadership skill of all. Whether you're a CEO or a storyteller-in-waiting remember, if they're not moved, they won't move. ----more---- Key Takeaways If they're not moved, they won't move – Leadership communication needs emotion, not just information. Stories break down resistance – Fables connect with people across neurotypes, roles, and belief systems. Say less, mean more – Jargon kills clarity. Simplicity and humanity create impact. Use story to spark discussion, not silence it – Good stories open space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – The problems with communication today 0:04:00 – Who is Kelly Meerbott?

You're growing your business, but is your marriage growing with it?In this special conversation, Sarah and I sat down with Christa Hardin—licensed therapist, Enneagram expert, and host of The Enneagram + Marriage Podcast—to share the behind-the-scenes story of how we almost separated just months after launching Triad. We talk about how the Enneagram, therapy, and a Sunday morning ritual helped us rebuild our relationship from the ground up.We open up about our journey from high school sweethearts to partners raising a family and scaling a fast-growing company—while navigating the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship and marriage.We get real about what it took to go from tension and resentment to connection and respect, and how we now support each other emotionally, practically, and professionally.If you want to build a business and a home life that both thrive, this episode is for you.3 of the biggest insights from Brad and Sarah…#1.) Therapy Isn't a Sign of Struggle, It's a Sign of StrengthWhat started as a tough talk in Napa turned into weekly therapy that helped Brad and Sarah reconnect—and gave their kids a model of what healthy relationships look like. Therapy isn't a weakness. It's what showing up really looks like. #2.) Hire an EA Who Manages Life, Not Just BusinessMost entrepreneurs use their EA for scheduling. Brad uses his to protect his marriage. By looping Sarah into calendar decisions, they built a system that prevents business from overrunning family and stops resentment before it starts.#3.) How Enneagram Helped Them Understand (Not Fix) Each OtherBrad's a 7 (The Enthusiast). Sarah's a 6 (The Loyalist). The Enneagram helped them move from conflict to collaboration, turning their differences into a strategic advantage, at home and in business.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/125FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

This episode is a powerful reminder that business success is rarely about one big move, but is almost always about the small shifts in attention, data, and decisions that lead to the big results. Jackie is moving through the (sometimes very annoying) truth that where your energy goes, results follow. We get real about the uncomfortable reality of watching sales dry up when your attention wanders, the mindset spiral of seeing high-cost leads, and what it takes to actually stay grounded as a CEO when something doesn't perform the way you want it to. This one is about facing the data, making meaning from the metrics, and getting grounded in the decisions that keep your business moving forward in a big way (without spiraling out or selling yourself short).   In this episode, you'll hear: The mechanism behind unexpected course sales rolling in How we navigate a super high lead cost without losing our minds (or momentum) Why some clients need tough love (and how I knew Jackie was ready to hear it) The CEO skill that stops almost any spiral The surprising reason I'm telling Jackie NOT to set a revenue target for this launch and what I believe her KPIs should be instead How to hold both the excitement of launching and the disappointment when it doesn't seem like it's playing out how you want   Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Jackie on Instagram Learn more about Jackie on her website

In Episode 160 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we're coming in hot with a spicy wake-up call: if your sales feel all over the place, your income is inconsistent, and you're flying by the seat of your leggings every week—it's because you don't have a real sales system. This episode breaks down the exact 4-part sales engine every online coach needs to stop the chaos and start creating sustainable, predictable income that doesn't require daily guesswork and panic posting.We're digging into each piece of the puzzle: lead generation (buh-bye posting-and-praying strategy), lead nurturing (because cold followers don't convert), lead qualification (filter out the freeloaders), and sales skills (ahem- time to actually close the deal). No fluff, no bro-y tactics, just real, replicable systems that help you grow on purpose, not by accident.If you're tired of wondering where your next client is coming from—or worse, feel like your biz is stuck in feast-or-famine mode—this episode is your permission slip to stop winging it and build a backend that does the heavy lifting for you. Bonus: there's a free tool in this episode waiting for you to diagnose your sales gaps and finally get your systems working for you, not against you.In this episode, we cover:1) Why We're Ditching the Sad Girl Energy [0:00 - 5:02]-The unfiltered pep talk we all needed to hear.-Why mindset alone won't get you paid, but it sure can sabotage you.2) Building Your Bad Girl Business Energy [5:03 - 8:31]-What it means to show up like a CEO, even when you feel like crawling under a blanket.-How choosing a new energetic standard can change your results—fast.3) The Feast-and-Famine Sales Cycle (And Why It's Not Your Fault) [8:32 - 13:09]-Why inconsistent income usually points to a broken (or non-existent) sales system.-Personal stories from the early days of panic-mode launches and finger-crossing CTAs.4) The 4-Part Sales Engine Breakdown [13:10 - 17:15]-Lead generation, lead nurturing, lead qualification, and sales skills.-How these systems work together to create real, repeatable results.5) Mastering Lead Generation [17:16 - 21:12]-Why content alone isn't enough, and how to build lead portals that work.-The 3–5 strategies that make or break your ability to consistently attract new people.6) Turning Followers Into Buyers with Lead Nurturing [21:13 - 25:01]-How to stop being a content machine and start being a connection-builder.-Tips for creating trust-building content that actually makes people want to buy.7) Why Your DMs Are Full of the Wrong People [25:02 - 29:07]-The content and brand mistakes that attract unqualified leads.-How to position your message to call in aligned, ready-to-invest buyers.8) Selling Without the Ick Factor [29:08 - End]-Closing the deal without being pushy or sleazy.-What it looks like to sell in a way that feels empowering, for you and the client.Connect with Lynette:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynettemarieh Fitness Coaching Business Accelerator: https://fcbaprogram.comThe Wellness CEO Mastermind: https://wcmprogram.com
