Podcast appearances and mentions of shannon miles

Bryan and Shannon Miles are visionary entrepreneurs, servant leaders, and the dynamic husband-wife team behind Belay, a groundbreaking virtual assistant and bookkeeping company. After climbing out of $80,000 in debt and leveraging their faith and work ethic, they built Belay into a nine-figure success, redefining how remote work and leadership can thrive in a digital age. Following their transformative exit, Bryan and Shannon launched Owner, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and equipping business owners with resources, community, and guidance for both personal and professional growth. Deeply rooted in servant leadership and faith, their journey is one of resilience, growth, and a passion for empowering other entrepreneurs to build not just successful businesses, but meaningful legacies. Takeaways: Servant Leadership as a Foundation: Bryan and Shannon stress that true leadership is about serving others and building a legacy that extends beyond personal gain—99% of a leader's actions should benefit those around them. Culture Is Key for Remote Success: Company culture is built on shared vision and trust, not physical offices or perks. Belay's all-remote team succeeded by fostering deep trust, clear expectations, and magnetic vision. The Messy Middle Matters Most: While many focus on the start-up or exit phases, Shannon and Bryan highlight the importance of the “messy middle”—the growth period that shapes leaders personally and professionally, often requiring daily adaptation and self-discovery. Sound Bytes: “Culture isn't about a fancy office or a Friday pizza party. It's about a shared vision that everyone moves toward together.” “We didn't just want to build a successful business; we wanted to create the type of company we'd always dreamed of working for.” “The breakthroughs don't just come at the beginning or the end—they happen in the messy middle where you have to grow as a leader.” Connect & Discover Bryan and Shannon: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryanandshannon/?hl=en Website: https://belaysolutions.com/blog/one-next-step-018-bryan-shannon-miles/ Website: https://www.o-nr.org/ Website: https://miles.ag/about/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-miles-milesag/ Book: Virtual Culture: The Way We Work Doesn't Work Anymore

Entrepreneurship promises freedom—but it also comes with a unique set of challenges that many don't talk about. In this episode, The Double Win Show welcomes Bryan and Shannon Miles, co-founders of Belay and the nonprofit O'nr, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a thriving business without losing yourself in the process.From hiring their first virtual assistant in 2011 (who later became CEO!) to navigating the emotional weight of selling a business, Bryan and Shannon share their hard-won lessons on leadership, transitions, and making decisions that align with your values.Memorable Quotes“Here's the magic phrase: ‘In order to be faithful to my existing commitments, I have to say no.'”“I am responsible for myself and my leadership. And I know that if I extend myself too far, I'm not the best version of who I want to be.”“If I'm saying yes to everything and I'm overcommitting and my schedule is absolutely full, there's no space for creativity. There's no space for dreaming. There's no space for new ideas or realizations.”“A lot of business owners are lonely, actually isolated.”“As leaders, part of our job is just kind of to help people settle and know they're safe.”“Stewardship is just simply managing something for a season of time… While we're there with our employees and leaders, we're stewarding our relationships with them.”Key TakeawaysThe Loneliness of Leadership.

In this episode, Dave talks with Shannon Miles, the developer services supervisor at Connecticut Water.

Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Liz Benny, Sally Hogshead, Shannon Miles, Lisa Sasevich, Bonnie Fahy, Diana House and Marisa Murgatroyd and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.   (2:21) Liz Benny Learn to get to know who you are as a person. Turn your curses into something that you can profit from. Understand where your strengths lie and where your weaknesses are. Learn to allow yourself some help in areas you are not good at. Give the job to someone who is good in the field and have an accountability partner who is going to check up on you at all times.   (6:32) Sally Hogshead High performers deliver a very specific benefit. Some may be detail oriented and they will hone in on details and they will look for clients and projects so they can overdeliver in details. Most people have this misconception that entrepreneurs are geniuses or prodigies but truth be told, it's just that they are very detail oriented, hard working and they go the extra mile to do something and that is what separates them from most.    (9:40) Shannon Miles Working from home has been proven to be the new norm. However, it brings its own set of challenges. When you work from home, you have to be strict with your schedules. You need to track down your hours of work. You need to communicate and be able to keep progress up regardless of working from the comfort of your home. It becomes even more important to know the productivity of your employees.   (11:17) Lisa Sasevich Inspire your client to make a decision. Whatever that is that you do, make sure you have a good sales conversion machine. If you don't have a system to offer that difference, you are doing all the hard work for no reason. You won't see any rewards. Reverse engineer to lead to your offer and always make sure it is an irresistible offer that your clients cannot say no to.   (14:45) Bonnie Fahy The bottom line is if you outsource the wrong thing in your business you will not make any money. There is no use in doing something that does not lead anywhere. Have a little software that asks what you are doing every minute. How are you spending your time, daily? Learn to identify what are the things in your business that are helping you make more money. Those are the things you do not want to outsource. If you say yes to everything it will overwhelm you and eventually lead to burnout.   (20:27) Diana House If you want to be a lifetime entrepreneur you need to master the language of finance. You have to really be on top of all your finances. Finance is the language of entrepreneurship and you need to learn how to master it. Many people spend so much time trying to find new and innovative ways to improve their business and then they leave their finances to the bare minimum. This is the wrong way to live an entrepreneurial life.    (24:43) Marisa Murgatroyd Many people spend years of their lives empowering others with the promise of a steady check. Which is not a bad thing however if you are going to spend your life doing this, why not spend an extra hour or so thinking about what you can do yourself where people can pay you for your services. So it becomes utterly important to learn to identify your strengths and what you can offer people. Then start your own business. Take the leap of faith and work hard on it.   Links: @lizbenny  @sallyhogshead  @bryanandshannon  @lisasasevich  @bonniefahy  @diana_house_  @liveyourmessage

How to hire and work with a Virtual Assistant This is a question I get asked all the time. “Amy, how do I know when I’m ready for a VA? And, how do I hire and work with one?” It’s a valid question, and if you’re serious about growing your business it’s one you should be asking.  I hired my first VA in 2011, and I consider it one of the best entrepreneurial decisions of my journey so far.  My first VA helped me take my business to the next level because her support allowed me to truly focus on the areas of my business that I excelled in. But I get it, it’s hard to know when you’re really ready for a VA, how to go about hiring one, what tasks to have them do, and when to uplevel your working relationship with them.  To help you get more clarity on those things, I’ve invited my dear friend and VA expert, Shannon Miles to join me on the show. Shannon is the owner and creator of Belay Solutions, a company that connects entrepreneurs with virtual specialists to help support their growth and in this episode, she’s sharing the progression of hiring and working with a VA.  Rate, Review, & Subscribe on Apple Podcasts ‘I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy.’

If you have any desire to grow your business, you’ll eventually have to develop more people capable of supporting the organization. You’ll need people who can confidently and competently step into leadership roles. In this episode, we will help you get more out of your team by developing them as leaders and give you a tiny peek into BELAY’s approach to leadership development. Joining us to talk about this are the founders and chairs of BELAY, Bryan and Shannon Miles. We will be talking about how they grew a world class organization and stepped out of the day-to-day by trusting leaders and grooming them to run it all!  Welcome to episode 18 of One Next Step.

Bryan and Shannon Miles are the epitome of a power couple. They've grown their company Belay Solutions, a virtual organization of 1000 employees with remote careers, by emphasizing a vibrant company culture that's counterintuitive to the traditional model. Unlike many power couples however, is the fact that growing an empire hasn’t cost Bryan and Shannon their marriage or family life. Bryan and Shannon’s greatest desire in life is to have a really great marriage. While growing companies is exciting, it’s not the standard by which they want to be measured. Leading their family in a way that aligns with their values of faith and hard work is at the core of who they are.

Bryan and Shannon Miles are the husband and wife team behind BELAY. Bootstrapping their business with no outside funding, BELAY has generated over $100M in revenues since its beginning and has exploded to over one thousand team members.Without an office, BELAY has graced the Inc. 5000 list five times and was awarded the number one spot in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Best Company Culture and been featured in several top-tier media outlets over the years.With a company focused on providing virtual support staffed entirely by people who work from home, we couldn’t think of a better duo to walk us through working under the same roof as your spouse.

Bryan and Shannon Miles fell in love when they were young, got married, started a family and each started building their own successful careers. But a series of unexpected experiences led them to re-evaluate what they wanted out of their lives, and the way they wanted to contribute. So they pretty much blew everything up and went out on their own, starting a new venture together with the goal of creating freedom, by building a company that helped others create freedom. Not a bad vision, right?Their passion is all about empowering small business owners and entrepreneurs to be more efficient as they achieve success in business (and in life). Having now generated more than $100M in revenue as the Co-CEO's of BELAY SOLUTIONS, a virtual staffing company, they graduated to Co-Chairs where they are stepping into a more educational role, sharing the Own Not Run philosophy that led them to build their own company. I was fascinated by their approach, since it’s always been a large part of my aspiration, too. To build something that truly mattered, while also doing it in a way that put family and flourishing at the center. Quick note, too, this conversion, like a few others we’ve recently released, was recorded in our studio in what we’ve now come to know as Before Times. We’d been holding it until it felt like a more accessible conversation, and with so many people now reflecting on how to create their own endeavors or build existing companies in a way that built freedom into the DNA, it felt like the right time to share it.You can find Bryan and Shannon Miles at: Website : https://ownnotrun.com/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/belay_solutions/Check out our offerings & partners: Factor 75: Healthy, chef-prepared meals delivered to your doorstep.

Bryan and Shannon are the founders of BELAY, an organization that specializes in providing virtual assistants, bookkeepers, and web specialists to help companies grow. With over 1,100 team members across the United States and no offices (even before the COVID-19 pandemic), BELAY has won a number of major awards for company culture, including Entrepreneur’s award for Top Company Culture in 2017. Bryan is also the author of Virtual Culture: The Way We Work Doesn’t Work Anymore, a manifesto championing remote work and respecting employees to retain incredible talent and create a forward-thinking culture that embraces the future of work. Today, Bryan and Shannon are here to talk about what it means to create and maintain company culture in a virtual workplace. The insights from this conversation couldn’t possibly be more timely - especially if you’re an advisor struggling to make sense of the transition from an on-site, brick-and-mortar operation to an all-virtual, all-remote firm. Here are just a few highlights of what we get into: #1: How you can create a culture of accountability and ensure that work is getting done in a 100% virtual work environment - and the proven framework Bryan and Shannon have been using to do this for years, via Zoom. [15:24] #2: Why it’s so easy for business owners to come across as tone deaf in their messaging during the COVID-19 pandemic - and how to tailor your messaging to provide value, cut through the noise, and change only where your conversation happens - not your value proposition. [36:33] #3: What financial advisors should know about working with business owners (like Bryan & Shannon) and what their family office did to show up differently for them during this time.

This week on the Girls 4 Greatness Podcast I have the pleasure of chatting with the one and only Shannon Miles. Shannon is a wife, mom, author, and co-owner of the highly successful premium staffing company, BELAY.  I invite you to listen in as Shannon and I dive into the reasoning behind why Shannon and her husband, Bryan, started BELAY, as well as what it has taken for Shannon herself to discover what “having it all” meant for her.  Shannon and Bryan started BELAY 10 years ago after cashing in all of their 401(k)s for start-up capital. Over the years their company has exploded to over one thousand team members, all working from home, pursuing their own idea of “having it all” while serving BELAY’s 1,400 clients.  Shannon is also the author of a book called The Third Option: Why a Woman Doesn’t Have to Choose Between a Career and Family, but Can Actually Have Both and Succeed. In her book,  Shannon shares how she took a leap of faith to create a flexible career that gives meaning to both her work and her family.    If you are someone who has ever struggled to deal with the feelings of conflict that sometimes arise from trying to juggle family and career life, then this episode is for you. Shannon shares some beautiful insights as to just how important it is to tune in to those feelings of conflict.  She shares how so often what we risk in order to live the life we really and truly want to live far outweighs the pain of regret of not having lived that life.  Please be sure to connect with and follow Shannon and BELAY on Instagram under @belay_solutions and on LinkedIn under @BELAY. You can follow BELAY on Facebook as well under @BELAYSolutions. You can also learn more about BELAY by going to www.linktr.ee/BELAYSoutions.

Bryan and Shannon love creating self-sustaining, innovative companies as the Co-Founders of BELAY, a leading virtual services company, and NoFO Brewing Co. They started BELAY in late 2010 after resigning from their full-time jobs on the same day where they cashed in their 401(k)s to start their company all during the "Great Recession." As leading voices for remote work, Bryan and Shannon’s entire company works remotely, empowering their employees to work from wherever best suits their needs. On this episode, we’ll learn how Bryan and Shannon built a business that empowers a lifestyle balance of work and travel along with the concept of virtual culture.    

The Miles' are the CEO's and Co-Founders of Belay. Belay is a virtual assistant company that has the mission to, “glorify God by providing solutions that equip our clients with the confidence to climb higher.” Bryan and Shannon felt a calling from the Lord to start their own business, and in 2010 they began the step by founding the Miles Advisory Group. That group expanded into a multitude of areas and roles of providing those solutions to their clients all across the country, and in 2017 all of their Miles AG suite came under the name of Belay. Belay was recently awarded the number one spot in Entrepreneur Magazine's Best Company Culture and has been in INC. 500 four times. Bryan and Shannon both have authored books as well. In this episode, Mike Linch and Bryan and Shannon Miles discuss their backgrounds, how they got into what they're doing and how God has played a role in their leadership and company.

What is the future of your workplace going to look like? Suppose you could get a glimpse of what tomorrow looks like, today? The answer has a lot to do with one, big trend in the workplace environment that's already present. This trend has to do with Outstanding Talent. Outstanding Talent is one of the eight critical factors that shape and sustain every healthy-to-flourishing workplace culture, including yours. Outstanding Talent involves attracting, retaining, promoting and rewarding highly capable people on your team. Most importantly, Outstanding Talent intersects directly with what I would call the current mega-trend of the virtual workplace and the new world of virtual assistants. With unemployment at near record lows and with the capabilities of new technologies in full swing, the trend of the virtual workplace is now in high gear. Today we have the pleasure of talking with Shannon Miles, CEO and Co-Founder of BELAY. BELAY's mission is to glorify God by providing solutions that equip their clients with the confidence to climb higher. Shannon was an early adopter of the virtual assistant model. In 2010, she and her husband, Bryan, were inspired to found BELAY--providing virtual support to busy leaders. Find full show notes here http://blog.bcwinstitute.org/s3e17-shannon-miles-belay
