Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com The federal government recognizes that threats are multiplying at an exponential level. In fact, in October 2025, CISA released a free vulnerability scanner, and 10,000 organizations have signed up. Today, CISA is at its current capacity. Today, we examine solutions from a successful startup called CrunchAtlas. One of the co-founders, Ben Fabrelle, will share with the audience his experience in threat hunting in the federal government and why he combined with another veteran to form a company that can assist in threat intelligence, data analysis, and automation. During the interview, Fabrelle says that CrunchAtlas likes to attack "wicked" complex problems. One of the most complicated problems the federal government has is identifying threats in a world where the DoD is being attacked by malicious actors every day. Fabrelle suggests that the solution is a persistent cyber-hunt platform. It can search for threats in a wide range of environments. This means it can be deployed on-prem, in the cloud, or in an air-gapped environment. The founders view that a platform approach is the best way to scale against these adversaries. One of the key differentiators for CrunchAtlas is its ability to operate in the cloud, on-prem, and even in an air-gapped environment. In fact, their offering's code stack, from design, operates in an air-gapped environment. Automation in this kind of environment will allow for a reduction in false positives, which will, in turn, reduce fatigue and decrease the need for human threat hunters.

Most agency owners hit a point where growth starts to feel… heavy.You're busy, you're booked, revenue's up — but freedom? Not so much.In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to audit, simplify, and evolve your agency so it SCALES (not just grows revenue) — and what to do once you hit your sweet spot.Because scaling isn't about doing more.It's about doing less, better.We'll chat aboutAuditing your current model — what's heavy, what's profitable, what's not repeatable.Simplify your offers so you can deliver consistent results without custom chaos.Productise your services (I use ours as an example)Systemise your delivery to eliminate founder bottlenecks and firefighting.Rebuild your team structure around roles, ownership, and clear metrics.Recognise your scalable sweet spot — the point where profit, peace, and predictability meet.And finally, add leverage: how to transition from agency growth → leveraged growth through info products, programs, and digital assets.The Freedom-First Framework in ActionIn this episode, I unpack four core pieces of my Freedom Framework:1 - Mindset: Stop chasing “more” — start defining “enough.”2- Business Design: Simplify your model around one clear offer.3 - Systems: Build a predictable delivery engine that runs without you.4 - Team: Empower a self-led team so you can evolve into your next level.These are the exact levers that helped me turn a fully booked agency that sucked all my time, into a truly scalable, freedom-first business with leverage. Want More?DM "CEO" on Instagram: @annelisewornDownload the 6-Figure Freelancer Guide: https://a.anneliseworn.com/6ffBook a Free Strategy Call: anneliseworn.com/consult

Michael Sutton was a university student looking to pay tuition when he and a buddy spotted an overlooked problem: dirty grills. With zero experience and just pure hustle, they started knocking on doors. After landing five sales on their very first day, they hit a critical snag—they had no idea how to actually clean a grill. That first job was an "eight-hour disaster," forcing them to learn on the fly.Instead of quitting, Michael turned that grueling summer job into Grill Hero, a rapidly expanding franchise model for grill cleaning. He learned the hard way about the power of door-to-door sales and why employees are crucial for quality control over contractors. After a $10,000 university startup grant and a failed attempt at corporate expansion, Michael pivoted to the franchise model that became the key to his scaling.In this interview, Michael shares with Ryan Atkinson his playbook for turning a simple idea into a scalable home service business. He details the startup costs, his high-value pricing strategy (averaging $315/job), and how his franchisees are set up as managers from day one. This is a masterclass in entrepreneurship and building a real-world brand.Takeaways:- Sell your service before you have perfected it. Michael and his partner secured five sales on their first day of door-knocking before they even knew how to clean a grill.- Embrace early failures as a necessary learning curve. Their first cleaning was an "eight-hour disaster," but that failure was essential for iterating and developing a workable process.- Leverage your unique attributes. As 18-year-old entrepreneurs, they used their youth as a "superpower" to build rapport, gain trust, and get support from customers and mentors.- For a home service business, door-to-door sales are an invaluable way to get your first 100 customers, build personal relationships, and get direct feedback to refine your service.- The employee model is superior to the 1099 contractor model for a service business that depends on quality control, accountability, and building a strong brand culture.- When scaling, a franchise model can be far more effective than corporate expansion. It allows for deeper market penetration by leveraging a local owner's investment and focus.- Build your franchise model so that owners are "managers from day one." Their primary job should be sales, marketing, and operations, not doing the manual labor themselves.- A premium brand justifies premium pricing. By building a reputation as the most trusted name,- Grill Hero raised its prices from $60 to an average of over $315 by targeting high-end customers.- Look for simple, overlooked problems. Grill Hero found success by being a "first mover," offering a practical service that many people needed but no one else was offering.- Recognize your limitations and hire to fill the gaps. Michael's most significant recent growth came from hiring an experienced CEO, which allowed him to focus on his strengths.Tags: Home Services, Service & Consulting, Entrepreneurship, Side Hustle, Startup, Grill CleaningResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Mike: https://www.instagram.com/mikesutton7/

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers sits down with Toby Hung, co-founder and COO of 1Fort, to discuss the practical application of AI in commercial insurance agencies. Toby shares his background on both the carrier and tech sides, explaining why he co-founded 1Fort to bridge the gap between insurance and technology. The conversation centers on how AI can automate the most time-consuming, non-revenue-generating tasks—like the submission-to-bind process—allowing agencies to 10x their revenue without 10x their headcount. They also explore why AI is the "great equalizer" for small and mid-sized agencies. Key Highlights: The All-in-One AI Solution Toby Hung addresses the frustration agents feel after buying multiple "point solutions" that overpromise and under-deliver. He details 1Fort's all-in-one approach, which uses AI to automate the entire commercial submission process—from extracting data and entering it into carrier portals to generating high-quality, white-labeled client proposals, coverage comparisons, and marketing summaries. AI as the "Great Equalizer" The conversation highlights how AI levels the playing field, enabling small and mid-sized agencies to compete directly with 100-pound gorillas. By using AI, smaller, hungrier agencies can achieve the same level of output, accuracy, and speed as their largest competitors, who are often backed by massive resources. Solving Agency Turnover and Burnout Toby explains that AI is a powerful tool for employee retention. By automating the manual, repetitive tasks that lead to burnout (like spending nine hours a week on submissions), agencies can empower their staff to do more meaningful, high-value work. It also helps attract younger talent (Gen Z, millennials) who expect modern technology in the workplace. Bridging the Tech and Insurance Gap Coming from both the carrier side at AIA and working in big tech, Toby explains that insurance people and tech people often "don't speak the same language." 1Fort was built with agency feedback to be an accessible tool that integrates directly into existing workflows, rather than being another complex piece of software that requires hours of training.

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com MongoDB has spent years earning a formidable reputation in the developer world; today, we will unpack some of its capabilities for project managers and federal leaders so they can understand where MongoDB may fit in their stack. Conventional wisdom is that MongoDB is a flexible open-source database. Although that is true, this does not do justice to some characteristics that will appeal to the federal audience. ONE: An agency may have restrictions on where the cloud is not suitable for storage. Because of its ability to use flexible, JSON-like documents, MongoDB has listened to those needs and can have storage in many varying regions.   In fact, we have seen a movement to move cloud applications back on premises. MongoDB provides flexibility for working in both hybrid and on-premises environments. TWO:  Most readers have studied encryption and think of it primarily as data at rest. Cloud storage transitions have forced a method where data is encrypted during transit. MongoDB can take encrypted data and search while it remains encrypted. Some will describe encryption at rest, in transit, and now, data in use.  THREE   MongoDB has listened to the federal community and is offering something called MongoDB Atlas for Government. It is a secure, fully managed cloud database service for U.S. Government agencies to modernize applications and oversee sensitive data. During the interview, Ben Cephalo revealed the effort MongoDB is making to serve federal agencies that require FedRAMP high capabilities.  

Join Brian Doyle on the MSP Business School podcast as he delves into the essential strategies for MSPs aiming for a successful business exit. Brian is joined by expert guest Josh Kotler from Canyon Point, who shares insights into the world of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and offers invaluable advice for MSPs contemplating their exit strategies. This episode will guide you through the stages and steps necessary to enhance your exit and achieve the most rewarding outcome. Kotler emphasizes the importance of reaching a $4-10 million revenue mark for MSPs. He explains that this growth is essential for significant enterprise value creation, which is crucial for attracting higher multiples at the time of sale. Through his experience, Kotler also provides a glimpse into how MSPs can transform from owner-centric operations to scalable businesses. Listeners will gain insights into how to optimize financial management, improve operational efficiencies, and leverage peer networks to thrive and prepare for future transitions. Key Takeaways: Importance of Scaling: Kotler advises that MSPs should aim to reach at least $4 million in revenue to ensure a meaningful and profitable exit. Role of the Owner: Reducing the owner's involvement in daily operations increases business independence, enhancing the overall value during a sale. Building Financial Health: Maintaining robust financials and proper KPI tracking is crucial for demonstrating business maturity to potential buyers. Seek Guidance: Joining peer groups or consulting with experienced professionals can provide the insights needed for successful business evolution. Intentional Planning: It's vital for MSP owners to be proactive, starting their exit planning well in advance to optimize opportunities for successful transactions.

Your scalable offer is where everything starts. It informs your operations, your team, your pricing, and your client experience. In Episode 67, I introduced the concept of a scalable offer, and the response was overwhelming (in a good way). Clients and listeners have been rethinking how they structure their services, teams, and operations around this one idea. In this follow-up episode, I go deeper into how to design a scalable offer that creates more freedom, profit, and impact. I share why I no longer teach building a business around your Zone of Genius (and what to focus on instead), how to identify when you've built a "menu" instead of an offer, and what it looks like to narrow your focus even when it feels uncomfortable. You'll also hear real examples from consultants who've done this work—from fractional fundraisers and grant consultants to strategic planners—so you can see how these shifts play out in practice.

They free people to do what only humans can do—teach, inspire, and connect.” “Defeat the self of yesterday—that's how you grow as a leader and as a person.” “Bootstrapping forces you to build real value because every mistake costs you personally.” Resources: Follow Ray Blakney on Facebook Connect with Ray Blakney on LinkedIn Turn Your Skills into Scalable Online Schools with Ray Blakney

What if the business you thought would give you freedom was actually stealing it? In this episode, Angie Shiels, former-café-owner-turned-wellness-entrepreneur, shares the real costs of traditional business, why scaling often means more stress, and how she pivoted into a model that works with her life instead of against it. If you're a mom, a woman past 40, or a business owner ready for a second chapter, this conversation will expand your vision of what's possible.   Important Links: Momergy Essentials - Home | Momergy Essentials Iva Perez - The Momergy Movement Desiree Gonzalez - Oily Essentials Follow us on: Facebook Facebook Mom Bosses Abroad Instagram@Mom.bosses.abroad Instagram @MomergyMovement Instagram @desiree_oilyessentials Instagram   Guest Bio Angie Shiels ran her own café for 12 years, believing it would be her path to freedom from working for someone else. Instead, it left her burnt out and asking, “Is this really it?” In the lead-up to turning 50, she sold the café and realised it was time to reclaim her health, create financial independence, and design life on her own terms. A chance meeting over coffee introduced her to the world of affiliate marketing - and she's never looked back. She has spent the past six months living in Bali and, thanks to her online business, continues to mentor small business owners, entrepreneurs, and women in corporate careers who feel stuck and exhausted. Angie helps them move beyond burnout into leveraged income, legacy wealth, and a lifestyle of health, freedom, and purpose. Beyond business, Angie is a wife, a proud mum to three adult children, and this year stepped into her favourite role yet - becoming “La La” to her first grandchild.

On this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik digs into how fitness and healthcare can finally work as one system. Dr. Kevin Brown—Doctor of Physical Therapy, CSCS, and founder of Performance Therapy Fitness (Gahanna, OH)—lays out a practical, scalable model that connects rehab to strength training for adults 40–50+ so they move better, build resilience, and stay pain-free. We cover individualized movement assessments, habit-building, safe progression, and why “movement health” (strength, mobility, balance, control) should be tracked like blood pressure. If you lead a clinic, run a gym, or you're simply aging actively, this conversation gives you a blueprint to merge prevention, performance, and long-term independence.   About the guest  : Dr. Kevin Brown is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. He founded Performance Therapy Fitness to bridge rehab and fitness under one roof, helping adults—especially 50+—gain strength, restore confidence, and maintain pain-free movement for life.   Key takeaways: “Movement health” = strength, mobility, balance, motor control; track it like vitals. Most PT discharges don't equal real-life readiness; a guided fitness continuum closes the gap. Adults 40–50+ often repeat injury cycles by returning to old workouts without foundations. Start with an individualized assessment (goals, history, habits) + movement screen. Safe progressions reduce fear: workouts should work muscles, not flare joints. Two to three days/week of strength training plus weekly cardio minutes is a durable baseline. Prevention belongs inside programming: mobility, stability, and tissue work are baked in. Clinics and gyms can align through shared protocols and consistent language to patients. Scalable systems—not star clinicians—enable this model to spread across locations. Future state: annual “movement health” checks trigger early referrals, preserving independence.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://performancetherapy1.com/ Connect with Dr. Kevin Brown on LinkedIn (search by name + clinic) Preferred: reach out via the clinic's website/contact page for assessments and programs   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Ever feel like your business is running YOU instead of the other way around? Like no matter how much revenue you bring in, it never feels like enough—because behind the scenes, things are messy, margins are thin, and burnout is creeping in? Yeah, I've been there… and so has today's guest.In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm hanging with Jeremy Reeves—founder of Scale Advisors, the dude who's generated nearly $200 million in revenue for himself and his clients. He's built and sold a multi-million dollar company, served as CEO of an 8-figure portfolio with 100+ employees across 7 businesses, and crafted at least five different 8-figure offers. Safe to say, the man knows his stuff when it comes to scaling.But here's what I love about Jeremy—he's not about building a big shiny revenue number just to impress people. In fact, he says the word “revenue” should be banished from our vocabulary. Why? Because entrepreneurs have been sold a lie that top-line revenue is the holy grail, when in reality it's about profit, peace of mind, and freedom. That's where he comes in—helping high-integrity entrepreneurs engineer scalable profit models without the chaos or complexity that's killing most businesses today.We jammed on so many truth bombs in this conversation. Jeremy broke down the 5 economic levers that control every dollar in your business (spoiler: it's not about hacking your way to more sales). He shared why most entrepreneurs hit an invisible wall that has nothing to do with marketing, and how to spot the ONE domino in your business that knocks down every other problem when you fix it.One of my favorite parts? Jeremy's perspective on working half the time and getting double the results. As someone who's all about systematically harmonizing ambition with well-being, this resonated hard. Because let's face it—what's the point of hustlin' if you're not Happy Hustlin'?Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:Stop obsessing over revenue. Profit and sustainability beat vanity metrics every time.Leverage the 5 economic drivers to maximize margins and growth.Every business has a “domino problem”—find it, fix it, and everything else gets easier.Work smarter, not harder. More hours ≠ more results.Simplify to scale. Complexity kills momentum; clarity fuels it.At the end of the day, Jeremy reminds us that building an empire doesn't have to mean burning out. You can engineer a business model that's scalable, profitable, and still gives you space for family, freedom, and fun.If you're ready to ditch the chaos, stop glorifying revenue, and start building a business that actually serves your life (not the other way around), then you've got to tune into this one.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you?Jeremy says to live life the way that you want to live it. Whatever that is for you, know? Yeah, just live it how you want to live it. Do it your way, man. You get one, you know, and even if you believe in reincarnation, you only remember one. So, yeah, man. Do it how you want it.Connect with Jeremyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyreeves/Find Jeremy on these websites:www.scaleadvisors.comhttps://www.jeremyreeves.com/ Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.
