THE REVOLUTION IS HERE! Well...not quite so dramatic, but in 2023 and beyond the rapid uprise and attempts at small business is going to skyrocket. And why is that? For starters, in an (almost) post-Covid world, workers are ejecting from the corporate world in droves in search for a better understanding of what makes a great balance in life. The desire for not having a keeper in the workplace is felt by an entire overworked population, and the uprising has slowly begun. People are now taking their new found skills, or old ones, and trying to position themselves as self-employed entrepreneurs in order to beat the burnout that has so quickly swallowed a nation. This week, Kerry-Ann Powell, a former DC attorney and lobbyist for over 20 years, comes on the show to explain how this new small business revolution is going to be the backbone of small communities effected by the pandemic, and is going to leave a happier, healthier workforce in it's wake. JOIN THE RESISTANCE! Let's talk about it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kerry-Ann is a global business strategist, speaker and champion of small and medium sized businesses. She is committed to spreading the gospel that running a small and medium-sized business is vital and important to our economies, yet it doesn't have to feel like trying to manage a chaotic tornado. And business owners can run their businesses smoothly and feel confident that they will thrive.

I am happy to introduce you to Sarah Panus because I feel like in a way we are kindred spirits which is coincidental because her business is named Kindred Speak, LLC. She, like me, had a dream to go into fashion. She pursued that dream farther than I ever did. Life took her in another direction (like it did for me) and after a series of jobs, she left her corporate position to launch her business. Sarah Panus has nearly 20 years of experience helping billion-dollar brands drive leading ROI through brand storytelling. She is a Minnesota mama, content strategist, podcast host of Marketing With Empathy, and owner of Kindred Speak LLC. She's on a mission to humanize brands; help content marketers reduce overwhelm/confusion; and raise money to fund child trafficking rescue missions. She spends her days working one-to-one with brand clients and is newly getting into the online course space where she'll teach you how to think like an Editorial Director and build winning brand storytelling strategies. Before starting her own consulting biz, Sarah spent the majority of her career leading content strategy on the corporate side and understands the pressure in those roles. She comes from a world managing up to $10M budgets but knows how to get scrappy too. Along the way, she figured out how to feel empowered, creative, and less overwhelmed in her roles (while driving amazing results), and wants to help others feel the same. www.kindredspeak.com What do we talk about today?

Magazine's top shows for entrepreneurs, joins host Jennifer Gutman of the Radically Transparent podcast, brought to you by Oktopost, to tackle the topic of brand purpose and how to put it into action.

Her goal is to revitalize the proverbial “Main Street” in small towns throughout the U.S. by increasing the effectiveness and strength of their small businesses. Giving Back “Giving back” is a non-negotiable. Our purpose on this earth is to make other people's lives better, but so many companies draw the line at philanthropy and volunteerism. Large companies have a responsibility to take it a step further because they have the means to “give back” on a grand scale. Amanda increased Deluxe's effectiveness in this territory by devising a plan to help small businesses where it really counts. She found that the best way to connect with small businesses is to work with them directly, and Deluxe's offerings reflect that. Inspire Support Deluxe's products and services increase the effectiveness of small businesses, but the number one thing a small business needs is customers. Amanda realized that she could provide marketing expertise to help them drum up support. The best way to help small businesses is to work with them on all of the areas that don't come naturally. Marketing is one of them and many small businesses struggle with it. Amanda is doing everything in her power to help small businesses create a ripple effect in their communities, and she is using Deluxe as a vehicle to change lives for the better.

A marketing provocateur cross-trained in the discipline of brand development and the rigor of retail promotion, Lynne is the CEO/Owner of FAME. She has orchestrated hundreds of national campaigns for blue-chip, retail and packaged goods marketers in all channels of trade including Target, Dreamworks, IMG, General Mills, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. In this episode of Intentional Greatness, Lynne provides inspiration and advice for running your business. Prior to joining FAME, Robertson was VP/Management Supervisor at Campbell Mithun, where she also served as director of KidCom, one of the top three youth marketing agencies in the world. Her work has been recognized and awarded by Effie International, HOW International and the International Retail Design Institute. In 2011 she received the AdFed Silver award for her contributions to the Advertising industry and in 2013 was named a Who's Who in Shopper Marketing. She was also tapped as a 2014 Women in Business Honoree by the MSP Business Journal and was featured as a Minneapolis Egotist's Madwoman of the Month. In May 2015, Lynne purchased Fame from Omnicom and its TBWA network to become a fully-independent, woman-owned enterprise focused on “Being done with what's been done.” She founded Lead Like a Mother (www.leadlikeamother.com) a business management philosophy and advice platform that applies the skills of motherhood to the day-to-day concerns of guiding and running a professional organization in order to teach others to Lead like Mothers. She is the featured retail expert on the Small Business Revolution (smallbusinessrevolution.org) co-hosted by Amanda Brinkman and Ty Pennington. A member of The Hub Braintrust, an honorary AdFed Board member and Vice President of the Twin Cities Retail Design Institute, Lynne has served on numerous industry panels for the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, Shopper Insights and is an Institute Faculty Member of The Path to Purchase Institute. She is a frequent speaker on the topics of leadership and the humanity of brand experience. What You Will Learn: What FAME looked like when Lynne purchased it in 2015 vs. what it looks like now Lynne's transition from executive to owner The transformation of marketing, branding, and brand development How Lynne practiced humility as she adapted to change The importance of health in the role of a business owner Delegating responsibilities to your team when you're away How health has influenced Lynne's priorities Lynne's work with Lead Like a Mother and how you can get involved Resources: Website: www.thisisfame.com Twitter: @RobertsonLynne LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynne-robertson-6a8925/ Running Your Business | From Executive to Owner: Navigating an Industry Transformation From Executive to Owner There are a lot of benefits to being a part of a holding company while you are running your business. You have access to their resources, their benefits, and even their bank account. You don't have to worry about making payroll or keeping the lights on. But you also have to bend the knee and adhere to their ideology. Lynne Robertson already had a vision for FAME's future and she was determined to carry it out. She was always passionate about FAME's people, clients, and the work they were doing, and she wanted to preserve that by any means necessary. Lynne continuously operated from a position of vulnerability and humility. But when the holding company began introducing new programs that she did not believe in, Lynne refused to take it lying down. She was always in the trenches with her team and her clients, despite having international recognition in the advertising community. She made every decision with their best interest at heart. That is why everyone stood with her as the next chapter unfolded. Running Your Business: Lynne's Purchase of FAME Lynne's passion and persistence culminated in her purchase of FAME in 2015. It became a fully-independent, woman-owned enterprise focused on “Being done with what's been done.” But entrepreneurship has a steep learning curve that you can't understand until you are running your business with no strings attached. That holds true, no matter how prepared you are. And when your industry is undergoing a significant transformation as you set up shop, it takes a select type of unfuckwithable leader to keep things moving forward. Agencies used to make their money from fee retainers and media commissions, but times are changing. Media is ultra-fragmented, the gig economy is booming, and UX/environmental design is becoming less relevant in the B2C market. With FAME's roots in the retail sector, Lynne had to restructure her business model and expand her offerings out of the gate. It was not a smooth transition. But FAME's retail sensibility, graphic design centricity, and worship of the holy deadline enabled Lynne to make a quicker pivot as she targeted clients beyond retail. Summary In the flux of any industry, you have to get humble quickly. When you are running your business in its infancy, you must sacrifice vanity and check your ego at the door. Only you can see the big picture, and people will talk. But unfuckwithable leaders can't hear them. Lynne Robertson ignored the stigma and focused on what mattered. She made sacrifices and difficult decisions to move FAME in a new direction. Now, Lynne is watching her vision materialize, and many of the critics will never know what that's like.

Since withdrawing U.S. forces from Northern Syria and leaving our allies the Kurds to fend off Turkish fighters, President Trump has received backlash from both parties. Critics say the decision is good news for countries like Iran and Russia who could gain leverage in the region. But President Trump says it is time we “let someone else fight over this long, blood-stained sand.” So, who are the winners and losers after this week's developments in Syria? Former CIA Chief of Station and FOX News Contributor Daniel Hoffman weighs in on the conflict in Syria. Ty Pennington spent much of his career hosting home renovation reality shows. The TV personality has now turned his attention to helping small businesses. In the fourth season of Small Business Revolution, Pennington and his cohost Amanda Brinkman take their team to Searcy, Arkansas to revitalize the small town and help its mom and pop businesses.

In this episode of the Build Guild Podcast, Mark Bates, a local carpenter who has spent the last thirteen years operating his own business. Mark’s clientele comes from a mix of referrals from Lowe’s™ and word-of-mouth around the community. Mark began working in the contracting industry working as an installer for Lowe’s™, and then became an installer himself. New to social media, Mark is learning how to advertise his business by showcasing his projects for both his business and his own home. Similar to Coty’s family, Mark’s family is involved in the foster care system. Recognizing the juggernaut of emotions surrounding a foster child’s first day in his or her new home, Mark constructed a castle at the front of his house to make that difficult first day a little easier. The second floor of his home contains a hidden passage, spiral staircase and hidden room to add a whimsical touch to his children’s childhood. Mark’s perspective is completely unique from the other makers of the Build Guild podcast. Most notably, Mark’s tools differ from the fine woodworking tools the other Build Guild makers utilize in their daily business. As a general contractor, Mark’s tool investments occur often and are focused on transportation and durability, whereas Ben, Brian, and Coty all see their tools as lasting investments that can (hopefully) last for years before being passed on to novice makers. Mark is an incredible example of how making isn’t limited to fine woodworking but is an all-encompassing field with room for anyone with an idea or just a little bit of whimsy. His 9-5 work is impeccable, but after hours he’s created an environment where his children have a place to make their daydreams a reality. Episode 4 brings us up to speed with Coty’s journey in the Small Business Revolution™, Brian’s current (secret) projects he’s spending the summer on, and Ben’s hair-brained YouTube ideas for Mark’s house. Mark and Coty are both in need of employees for their businesses, and a resume with any relevant experience can be emailed to Markbatescontracting@gmail.com and Arganicwoodwork@gmail.com, respectively.

Episode Two: Look Ma, I’m on TV What is winning $75,000 and being featured on a reality television series like? For Coty Skinner, that dream became a reality in March of 2019 when his company, ARganic Woodworking, LLC, was chosen as one of the six contestants for the Hulu series, “Small Business Revolution,” sponsored by the highly respected marketing firm, Deluxe. Coty hadn’t always dreamed of being a maker, though. Upon graduation from a high school in central Arkansas, Coty enlisted with the United States Army. After serving in the Army for ten years, Coty pursued a career in HVAC, and then felt God calling him into ministry. After having two daughters of their own, ages 5 and 13, Coty and his wife began a new challenging and impactful ministry of their own: fostering. Being a foster parent is full of challenges and hurdles, and very quickly Coty realized a glaring obstacle: the family dining table was too small. Remembering his own teenage years and the impact conversations made at the family table had on him, he realized he needed to build a table with enough room for his family and the children they fostered. Driven by a passion for ministering to others and making sure everyone has a seat at the table, ARganic Woodworking was born. Working out of his garage, for every three tables Coty made, he donated one to a foster family in need of a bigger table. As his business has grown, Coty wants to move from making tables to creating livelihoods for teens aging out of the foster system by teaching them a trade. “The more you do, the more you learn it.” ARganic Woodworking became Coty’s full-time business this year, and several of his projects garnered local attention, specifically tables he made for a local coffee shop and creperie, Savor + Sip. His wife encouraged him to apply for the Small Business Revolution, a Hulu series sponsored by Deluxe with hosts Amanda Brinkman and Ty Pennington. Applying on the last day, with very little optimism that his company would be chosen, ARganic Woodworking was selected as one of six winners on the show. Coty’s story and business are inspiring, humbling, and reminds us that no matter where you are in your making journey, in this community, you always have a seat at the table.

Episode One: Meeting the Makers From social media, the Small Business Revolution™, and side hustles, three makers from different backgrounds have all settled into a small central Arkansas town. Driven by their love for making, community, and connection, Ben, Brian, and Coty invite you to take an inside look into the making world: from stealing Wal-Mart Wi-Fi to for Instagram posts to selling pencil bowls to grandma. Each of these makers bring a variety of skills into their niche of the market into the making community. The Build Guild is just evidence that everyone brings something to the table, and if you’re Coty, you just might bring the table itself. Who are the Makers? Brian Hickey is a native Arkansan who teaches art at a local elementary school. Making is his side hustle, and he devotes most of his summer breaks to it. Brian’s specialties are wood signs, art prints, and paintings. Brian currently has his shop set up in his garage and is breaking even in his business as he amasses tools and other necessities. Brian’s social media presence and content is a direct reflection of the intentionality he exemplifies in his career and craft, with him walking to Wal-Mart each day to make a post to Instagram. Coty Skinner is a native Arkansan who, after serving in the United States military, decided to return home and put down roots. He was one of six contestants chosen for season four of Hulu and Deluxe’s Small Business Revolution and hopes to put the expert advice and consultations he received from the show into practice in his business. Coty is the only full-time maker on the podcast, and he is currently working out of his own garage. Being featured on the show will provide Coty with incredible opportunities for growth, enhancement, and business savvy tactics to turn profits. Ben Myers decided to leave Pennsylvania to come to college and never looked back. Ben is a hybrid of classic woodworking in the modern era. From woodturning to turning profits on digital CNC files, Ben has cornered his market, and brings insight on the delights and downfalls of social media, viral videos, and how that translates into business. The Build Guild was created to demonstrate how three normal, average, and everyday dads are cornering their market while balancing family, fatherhood, and making. The show addresses a variety of topics from where customers come from, when your side hustle finally starts to feel like a business, to the hardships of pricing, and everything in between.

Amanda Brinkman joins host Kelly Scanlon on this episode of Talking Business Now. You may know Brinkman as the co-host of The Small Business Revolution—Main Streetseries with Ty Pennington. What you may not know is that Brinkman herself brings an entrepreneurial attitude—and a belief that all brands can “Do Well By Doing Good”—to all her endeavors. Brinkman, who has had a long career in marketing and advertising, almost didn’t go into the field because she didn’t know how it would fulfill her desire to “do good” and to give back. But a mentor challenged her to find a way to marry her two passions. From the get-go, Brinkman made a mark at top ad agencies working with brands such as Colgate-Palmolive, Virgin Mobile, Rebok, H&R Block and BMW. Now, as the chief brand and communications officer of Deluxe Corp., Brinkman is helping small businesses succeed. She created, executive produces and stars in The Small Business Revolution, which awards one small town and its small businesses $500,000 each season. She also serves on several business, charitable and nonprofit boards, including Make-A-Wish, the Children’s Cancer Research Fund, the Women’s Business Development Center Chicago, the Association of National Advertisers and others.
