Episode Overview In Part 2 of this 6-part Power Hour series, John Kitchens and Joel continue building the Agent to CEO Framework by diving into Milestone 2: Charting the Course — the vision, values, purpose, and long-term direction that every real estate business needs before it can scale. If Part 1 helped you find clarity on where you stand, Part 2 shows you how to define where you're going and build the strategic foundation your future growth will stand on. John and Joel walk through the process of creating your core values, articulating your core purpose, and crafting a 10-year BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) that aligns your team, filters decisions, and keeps you focused when the market — and your emotions — shift. If you've ever struggled with team alignment, inconsistent decision-making, hiring the wrong people, or constantly shifting strategies, this episode gives you the structure to set a direction your entire organization can follow with confidence. Key Topics Covered The Agent to CEO Framework How Milestone 2 builds on the clarity gained in Part 1 Why vision is the strategic anchor of the entire Agent to CEO process The role of values, purpose, and BHAG in building a scalable organization Building Your Core Values Why core values must be discovered, not invented Using frustration, peak performance moments, and "hire/fire tests" to uncover your real values How values become the filters for decision-making, culture, and hiring Why 3–5 values create clarity — and anything more creates confusion Defining Your Core Purpose Understanding the emotional driver behind your business Why teams lose direction without a clearly articulated purpose How purpose helps you attract the right people and repel the wrong ones The difference between a mission statement and a motivating purpose Creating Your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) The four types of BHAG: Target, Competitive, Role Model, and Internal Transformation Why thinking in 10-year timelines creates freedom, not pressure How a BHAG aligns your team and simplifies strategic planning Turning a long-term goal into a vivid, inspiring future your people can see Aligning Your Team Around the Vision Why vision must be communicated, repeated, and embedded into daily operations How to turn your vision into a "decision compass" for every level of the business Why teams fail without clarity on where the business is going How to bring your values and BHAG into hiring, onboarding, and accountability Resources & Mentions Agent to CEO Process – Milestone 2: Charting the Course Start With Why by Simon Sinek Vivid Vision by Cameron Herold 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy Good to Great by Jim Collins Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway Before you build systems, scale teams, or step out of production… you must chart the course. Vision, values, purpose, and a 10-year BHAG give your business direction, alignment, and the foundation to grow without breaking. "As a CEO, your job is to show your team the mountain.

On the Nevada Author Network, Nikolai Wisekal discusses the critical decision authors face between writing for creativity and pursuing publishing. He notes publishing is basically a professional promise between a business and a reader, bringing with it their expectations and demands. Creativity, on the other hand, is literary art for the author, allowing the writer to have total freedom over cover art, the manuscript, and associated work products such as blurbs.Nikolai also spends time on the business of releasing chapters via a membership service such as Patreon and the now defunct Amazon Vella. He outlines why releasing chapters one at a time to subscribers can be a challenge, especially to readers who are used to having the entire book in their hands.The podcast closes with an in-depth discussion on how writers can be successful at book signings.

The best B2B brands don't just tell a story. They live it across every team, channel, and touchpoint.  But how do you get everyone aligned — from sales to customer success — without the story getting lost in translation (or buried in features)?  That question sits at the center of this conversation, as Drew talks with Marca Armstrong (Sensera Systems) and Caitlin Cassady (Beyond) about how to build a team of company-wide storytellers. From capturing customer language to coaching teams on how to use it, they reveal how to make your story stick—and scale. In this episode:  Marca starts with a simple headline story ("build with confidence") and ensures it shows up consistently in every GTM motion.  Caitlin turns real customer stories into marketing fuel, using a "so what?" filter to connect features to real outcomes.  Together, they treat storytelling as everyone's job, so marketing, sales, and CX all carry the same story.  Plus:  Measuring story-led work vs. feature blasts  Spotting what moves pipeline  Keeping language sharp so customer phrasing shows up in deals  Making storytelling a team sport across the company If you want a story your customers instantly recognize—no matter who they talk to—this episode gives you the moves to make it happen.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

Eric Lascelles thinks the U.S. economy is in “slight decline,” which leaves rate cuts on the table for the Fed in December. He's looking forward to September payrolls data at the end of next week. He discusses the scattered Dot Plot and disagreements within the Fed on the rate path as conflicting signals bounce around. He also talks about the potential impact of the government shutdown on the upcoming data and how the Fed could react to that.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, I sit down with mortgage industry veteran and coach Carrie Guarrero to trace a three-decade career built on service, community, and relentless growth. Carrie shares how an 11-year-old's flyer route in her mom's mortgage office became a billion-dollar origination career—and why the trophies eventually mattered less than the names and stories behind each loan. She opens up about a career “pause” that didn't go as planned, the humbling return that led her to Fairway, and how that detour became the on-ramp to launching Fairway Ignite, an internal coaching organization now serving 600+ teammates with 80 coaches.We also get into how Carrie is building a multigenerational legacy; handing portions of her book of business to her daughter and longtime partner, and what “effective coaching” really looks like inside a high-performance culture: individualized matches, data-driven accountability, and an always-on community. Beyond business, Carrie reflects on being an Army mom (and former Army spouse), holding pride and fear at the same time, and the leadership lessons that come from service, ambiguity, and letting go. She previews her forthcoming guided journal Discovering WISE: Women in Search of Excellence—a 52-week journey designed to help women define success on their own terms—and shares the daily non-negotiables that keep her grounded in faith, family, gratitude, sweat, and stillness.Discussion Highlights:How a “failed” pivot can become the exact path you need nextThe core ingredients of coaching that actually moves numbers (and people)Why legacy leadership means empowering others, even before you feel ready to let goNavigating male-dominated rooms without dimming your light or your voiceThe power of holding two truths (proud and scared) and leading through uncertaintyA simple morning framework: gratitude, sweat, and reflective thinkingLinks & Mentions:Connect with Carrie Guarrero:  Instagram • LinkedIn Book: Discovering WISE: Women in Search of Excellence — 52-week guided journey - grab your copy here!If this conversation resonates, I'd love for you to subscribe, rate, and share.

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

A hallmark of living systems is their ability to generate and maintain order under constant fluctuations. In cells, such order often emerges from chemomechanical pattern formation, where proteins both sense and remodel the geometry of the cell. Here, I will discuss how theoretical modeling and simulations can capture this feedback across different spatial scales, using three example systems: on the macroscopic scale of individual cells, we used optogenetic control over a chemomechanical protein system to control the shape of starfish oocytes and induce self-organized surface contractions in these cells. On the mesoscopic scale of synthetic vesicles, I will discuss how protein patterns can drive the motility of synthetic liposomes, providing a minimal mechanism to transform chemical energy into motion without molecular motors. Finally, on the intracellular nanometer scale, I will present a mechanism for pattern formation without active energy consumption that relies on curvature sensitivity of membrane-binding proteins. Looking forward, I will discuss data-driven avenues for systematically analyzing biological self-organization, with particular focus on bringing experiments and simulations closer together.

Wil sits down with George and Amanda of Vicious Biscuit for a follow-up on their whirlwind year since they last joined Restaurant Owners Uncorked a year ago. Franchise growth, a disciplined “partners not franchisees” approach, and a tech stack that supports (but doesn't replace) hospitality. They unpack a loyalty + first-party app launched Aug 12 that's smashing acquisition/retention goals, clever perks (weekday free biscuit + jam bar), and a catering program tied to rewards. The brand pairs data with old-school site walks, rigorous training, and weekly franchise support to scale methodically amid real-estate, labor, distribution, and regulatory headwinds. The episode also celebrates how collaborative the hospitality industry is. and it's rising-tide ethos, with George and Amanda mentoring operator, and recent Restaurant Owners Uncorked podcast guest, Tyler Kotch,  over dinner10 takeaways Vicious Biscuit now operates 3 franchise and 7 corporate units; Fishers, IN targeted for Dec 2025, with ~10 more openings following in 2026. They've signed 13 franchise partners and prioritize “partners over pace,” saying no often to protect a legacy brand. Loyalty + first-party app (live Aug 12) is exceeding acquisition, retention, and redemption expectations—without being discount-driven. Differentiators include a weekday free biscuit + jam bar to drive dine-in and catering tied to loyalty (rewarding the gatekeeper). Rollouts are patient and pilot-heavy (a planned 2-week pilot stretched to 12 weeks) to ensure smooth ops for franchisees. Real estate is chosen via data-driven rifle shots (Placer, heat maps) plus on-the-ground visits and conversations with neighboring operators. Training is systematized (ExpandShare, videos, 4-week cadence) with weekly check-ins and detailed open checklists to prevent costly delays. The brand balances tech with true hospitality, resisting overly transactional models and emphasizing human guest experience. Headwinds: site/inspection bottlenecks, insurance spikes (e.g., Florida), labor costs, distribution hiccups, and storm recovery (e.g., Boone after Helene). Schedulefly is evolving Restaurant Owners Uncorked into a media business (films, articles, webinars, forums, maybe conferences) to foster peer learning, illustrated by George & Amanda's hands-on mentoring of Tyler Koch (PIE.ZAA).

Ever had a brilliant idea that never made it past your brain? Or watched a dream die because someone poked too many holes in it before you even had a chance to build it?In this episode of Ambitious, George Bryant is back to teach one of the most powerful frameworks I've ever learned. This is the Dream Storming model, originally created by Walt Disney to bring Disneyland to life. We're breaking down the three core buckets (Dreamer, Builder, and Protector), the exact rules for each state, and how to recognize which bucket you naturally live in versus which one you go to when triggered.But here's where it gets really good: this framework isn't just for your business. George and I get vulnerable about how we use this in our long-distance relationship, how it's transformed the way we communicate during conflict, and why understanding someone's dominant state can completely shift the dynamic in your partnerships, friendships, and even with your kids.00:00 Introduction12:25 The Walt Disney Dream Storming Story18:09 Applying the Dream Storming Model33:50 Understanding the Dreamer Bucket34:32 Transitioning to the Builder Bucket35:04 Entering the Protector Bucket35:22 Applying the Dream Storming Process36:02 Facilitating Dream Storming with Teams36:40 The Importance of Discipline in Dream Storming45:41 Interpersonal Applications of Dream Storming50:29 The Power of Divergent Thinking53:31 Recognizing Natural and Triggered States01:05:08 Understanding the Protector Mode01:05:50 Navigating Conversations with Awareness01:12:03 Applying the Framework in Personal and Professional LifeConnect with George: InstagramWebsite  To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

I break down the 4 systems that are the secret to growing a business that scales FAST! If you want to scale your business but you're already working 60, 80, 100 hour weeks, the thought of more customers might actually scare you because deep down, you know you can't handle the growth. Growth right now would completely break you. But here's what no one's telling you. The problem isn't that you can't handle more customers. The problem is you're trying to scale by doing more when you should be scaling, actually, by doing less. You don't need more hours or more hustle. You need systems that will grow your business while you step back.

George and I get vulnerable about how we use this in our long-distance relationship, how it's transformed the way we communicate during conflict, and why understanding someone's dominant state can completely shift the dynamic in your partnerships, friendships, and even with your kids.00:00 Introduction12:25 The Walt Disney Dream Storming Story18:09 Applying the Dream Storming Model33:50 Understanding the Dreamer Bucket34:32 Transitioning to the Builder Bucket35:04 Entering the Protector Bucket35:22 Applying the Dream Storming Process36:02 Facilitating Dream Storming with Teams36:40 The Importance of Discipline in Dream Storming45:41 Interpersonal Applications of Dream Storming50:29 The Power of Divergent Thinking53:31 Recognizing Natural and Triggered States01:05:08 Understanding the Protector Mode01:05:50 Navigating Conversations with Awareness01:12:03 Applying the Framework in Personal and Professional LifeConnect with George: InstagramWebsite  To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Silicon Bites Ep264 - Day 1,349 - 2025-11-03 | Washington trims forces in NATO's front line member state, causing concern in some quarters, and signalling weakness and withdrawal in the face of a revanchist Russia. This broad geopolitical canvas unfolds as Moscow hammers Ukraine's grid and Kyiv hits back, deep and hard, at Russia's fuel arteries. Drones stalk a base in Belgian thought to host U.S. nukes, China's refiners blink on Russian oil, and Brussels looks for a way to keep Ukraine's accession moving — whether Orbán tries to throw a spanner in the works or not. Is the U.S. easing off Europe's front line? Romania confirmed the first cut of U.S. troops on NATO's eastern flank — ending a rotating brigade spread across several countries and lowering numbers at Mihail Kogălniceanu air base to 1,000.

If you're paying attention — something BIG is happening. Franchise buyers aren't looking for a “job you own” anymore. Today's entrepreneurs are: ✅ Building assets ✅ Leveraging systems ✅ Thinking like investors And the smartest builders? They're moving into property service franchises.

Here's what makes them the ultimate business builder's model:

1022: What if your innovation team operated more like a venture fund than a lab? In this episode of Technovation, Peter High speaks with Andres Vazquez, Chief Digital Intelligence Officer of América Móvil, about how he leads open innovation at scale, evaluating thousands of companies a year to drive customer value, operational efficiency, and revenue.

If your lawyer makes you nervous to ask a question, you've already lost. Jeff Holman isn't your typical lawyer. He doesn't bill in six-minute increments, he doesn't hide behind legalese, and he sure as hell isn't trying to research something on your dime. Instead, he built Fractional Legal Team, a scalable model that gives founders legal backup before things blow up. Think of it like having a badass legal department… without the overhead or the attitude. We cover the legal blind spots that wreck early-stage companies, when to actually call a lawyer (spoiler: it's way earlier than you think), and why the billable hour model is the dumbest thing still haunting entrepreneurs.

The Solopreneur Blueprint I Wish I Had 16 Years Ago If I had to start my online business all over again today with no team, just me, I wouldn't chase more. I'd double down on simplicity, one signature offer, and AI as my secret sidekick. This episode is your shortcut to avoid the trial-and-error that cost me years of confusion and wasted effort. In this episode, I take you behind the curtain and share exactly what I'd do if I were building as a solopreneur in today's world. From how to find your ideal customer, to building a story bank that makes content creation effortless, to leveraging AI as your marketing assistant, you'll walk away with a step-by-step guide for growing a sustainable business without the overwhelm. Because the fastest way to scale as a solopreneur isn't doing everything. It's doing less, but doing it better. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Simplicity scales – One signature offer for one customer will get you further, faster, than juggling multiple products or audiences. 2️⃣ AI is your sidekick – Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can serve as your marketing assistant, copywriter, and researcher, freeing you up to show up live and connect with your audience. 3️⃣ Stories and testimonials are gold – Building a story bank and testimonial bank early ensures you always have powerful proof and connection points to fuel your marketing.
