In this episode of Smart Franchising, Dan Rowe sits down with Sameer Malhotra, founder of Cafe Spice, to unpack one of the most powerful—and overlooked—growth levers in franchising: co-packing. What began as a family-run Indian restaurant business evolved into a national operation supplying sauces, grains, entrées, and ready-to-eat meals to Whole Foods, Aramark, Sodexo, and emerging restaurant brands across the country.Dan and Sameer break down how centralized production lowers labor, prep, cleaning, equipment, and real estate costs while improving consistency, food safety, and unit economics. They discuss what makes a brand “co-packer ready,” why many chef-driven concepts struggle to scale, and how simplifying menus and processes unlocks faster, more profitable expansion—without sacrificing flavor or authenticity.The conversation also dives into minimum order quantities, distributor relationships, tariffs, sourcing challenges, and where founders should start when outsourcing production.Drawing on Dan's experience scaling brands like Five Guys, Qdoba, and The Halal Guys, this episode delivers practical guidance for founders, franchisees, and operators looking to scale smarter, protect their brand, and grow with confidence.

What if success in business didn't look like 6 figures, a big team, or endless growth? In this episode, I sit down with Maggie Patterson to explore why staying small and strategic can be a powerful, joyful, and profitable choice.

Most businesses are obsessed with one question:“How do I spend $1 to make $5?” According to Jon Davids, that mindset is exactly what’s holding brands back. In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford sits down with the CEO of Influicity and author of Marketing Superpowers to unpack why the future belongs to brands that build movements, not just marketing funnels. John shares how he learned to capture attention before social media existed, why most influencers are broke despite large followings, and how brands can create demand that doesn’t rely on algorithms or ad platforms. In This Episode, We Cover Why paid ads alone are unsustainable long-term The difference between building an audience and building a movement How community connects content to commerce Why “Minimum Viable Concept” beats “Minimum Viable Product” How to own customer demand instead of renting it What brands must do today to stay relevant in the next 10–20 years If you want to stop chasing customers and start attracting them, this conversation will completely change how you think about marketing.

Send us a textThe start of a new year often comes with big goals, high motivation, and pressure to reset everything, but I've seen again and again that this intensity often leads to burnout instead of lasting change.In this episode of The Wellness Inspired Podcast, I share a steadier, smarter approach to habit-building—one that works even when life feels full, stressful, or unpredictable. I talk about why motivation and inspiration matter, but why they can't be the foundation of sustainable habits, and why starting small is often the most strategic way to build consistency that actually lasts.In this episode, I explore:Why motivation and inspiration are important, but can't sustain habits on their ownHow pressure and intensity quietly sabotage consistencyWhy starting small helps your nervous system feel safe moving forwardHow habits shift from effort to identity over timeA more realistic way to approach wellness during demanding seasons“When you stay consistent long enough, you don't just do the thing.

What if podcasting wasn't just content—but a bridge out of corporate?In this episode, Brett sits down with Mark Hayward, former PwC and KPMG consultant turned podcast host and podcast guesting entrepreneur, to break down his escape from corporate—and how podcasting quietly became one of his most powerful tools.Mark shares how he started a podcast while still in corporate, not to make money, but to build confidence, find his voice, and explore what life outside the corporate box could look like. That passion project eventually opened doors to consulting, coaching, real estate experimentation—and ultimately a business built around helping others grow through podcast guesting.This is a real, honest conversation about experimentation, false starts, energy, and why podcasting works differently than most people expect.What We Cover • Leaving PwC and KPMG after a 14-year corporate career • Why Mark started a podcast before leaving corporate • The role experimentation plays in finding your escape path • Why not every revenue stream is worth keeping • Coaching vs. consulting vs. creative work (and the energy test) • Podcast hosting vs. podcast guesting — and how each actually works • Why guests often get more business than hosts • How podcasting builds confidence, clarity, and opportunity • Practical advice for corporate professionals who know they want out—but don't know what's nextKey TakeawayYou don't need a perfect plan to escape corporate. You need momentum, experimentation, and a way to get into conversations that open doors. Podcasting can be one of those doors.Connect with Mark • Website: podcastintroduction.com • Podcast: Business Growth Talks • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayward-163721a0/ Listen, subscribe, and shareIf corporate feels off—but you can't see the exit yet—this episode will help you think differently about your options.

This week, we're sharing something a bit different: Scott Milfred joins Richard Kyte and Scott Rada on "The Ethical Life," Lee Enterprises' podcast exploring ethical questions in contemporary life. Instead of the usual Center Stage format, you'll hear Milfred as a guest in a three-way conversation about predictions, accountability and what the year ahead might bring. The discussion ranges across politics, technology, sports and health care — examining not just what could happen in 2025, but why we're drawn to forecasting in the first place and what last year's predictions reveal about how we think about the future. If you're looking for the regular Center Stage interview format, we'll be back to that soon. But if you're curious to hear Milfred in a different setting, wrestling with bigger questions about uncertainty and how we make sense of what's coming, give this one a listen.

Episode 227: As the calendar turns and uncertainty once again shapes politics, technology and everyday life, The Ethical Life returns to a familiar exercise: looking ahead while holding the past accountable. Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada are joined by Scott Milfred, Lee Enterprises’ national opinion editor, for a wide-ranging conversation about what the coming year may hold — and what last year’s confident calls reveal about the limits, temptations and value of prediction. The episode spans politics, pro sports, technology and health care, with the hosts weighing which forces are likely to drive headlines and which may quietly fade. Along the way, they examine how incentives, public trust and unintended consequences shape outcomes long after predictions are made. Before closing, the hosts revisit the six forecasts offered one year ago, assessing what proved prescient and what missed the mark.

Daniel Solin joins Travis to explain why most investors are overcomplicating things and quietly lighting their wealth on fire. A former Wall Street attorney who spent decades representing clients burned by bad brokers, Daniel became a New York Times bestselling author of the “Smartest” series of investing books and now focuses on helping ordinary people outperform most professionals with a no‑nonsense, low‑cost strategy. On this episode we talk about: How 30 years as a securities lawyer opened Daniel's eyes to how often brokers harm clients while putting their own commissions first Why most “experts” don't actually know how to beat the market—and why the real experts are the researchers publishing peer‑reviewed data, not pundits on TV The core strategy: broad‑market index and ETF investing, keeping fees ultra‑low, not timing the market, and doing as little trading as possible Red flags when hiring an advisor, including complex portfolios, stock‑picking, market‑timing promises, and products stuffed with hidden costs and conflicts How to think about crypto, real estate, and other speculative plays versus your core, set‑it‑and‑forget‑it retirement portfolio Top 3 Takeaways Most people don't need an advisor or a complex strategy; owning low‑cost, globally diversified index or ETF funds and leaving them alone will beat the vast majority of active managers over time. Fees, turnover, and advisor conflicts quietly erode returns; simple, transparent portfolios almost always outperform complicated, high‑fee “genius” strategies. Treat speculative assets like crypto or concentrated real estate deals as gambling with a small slice of your net worth—never as the foundation of your long‑term financial security. Notable Quotes “Investing is really simple: do as little as possible, ignore almost everything you see in the financial media, and capture the total return of the market at the lowest possible cost.” “Wall Street has a vested interest in making investing look complicated so you feel forced to use them—even though complexity usually just means higher fees and lower returns.” “If you buy one broad stock‑market fund and a short‑term Treasury fund in your 30s, then barely touch it for decades, you'll likely beat 95% of professionally managed money.” Connect with Daniel Solin: https://danielsolin.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️

#668: We're joined in-studio by David Bach, bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire and The Latte Factor. He's updated his most popular book (over two million copies sold) and this is his last big launch as he heads into retirement. Together, we wrestle with a problem our listeners know well: what happens when you've built the habit of saving, investing, optimizing … and then feel weirdly unable to spend. We talk about mini-retirements, the psychology of “spend and enjoy,” and why waiting to touch retirement money can be its own kind of risk. Key Takeaways Think about retirement as a series of deliberate mini-retirements, not one finish line you might reach with less energy than you expected. If you're a dedicated saver, build a plan for the “spend and enjoy” phase so you do not accidentally optimize away the years you wanted freedom for. Run the numbers on “small” spending habits, not to guilt yourself, but to see which choices actually buy future optionality. Treat withdrawals, benefits, and deadlines as part of the strategy, not a paperwork problem you'll deal with later. If your finances feel out of reach, anchor yourself with a simple projection and one automated action, momentum beats motivation.

Fresh out of the Big Brother house, Edward relives the moment he realised the letter “from Mum” wasn’t quite right. And how it felt when it suddenly turned into an eviction and what it was like to walk out without the chance to properly say goodbye. He explains why, despite the heartbreak, he’s a realist about the game and why he refused to take the decision personally. In this revealing conversation, Edward opens up about the pressure-cooker reality of Big Brother. From missing his incredibly close family to the off-hand “I want to quit” moment that rattled live feed viewers. He explains why, even though he said it in the heat of emotion, actually walking out on his own was never really on the table. We also tackle the so-called villain edit head on. Edward reacts to that viral “shut up” moment, how it felt seeing the audience response and why he takes full accountability for what he said while still insisting it’s a real snapshot of how humans behave under pressure. Which is the whole point of doing Big Brother. Then there’s Mia. Edward breaks down their connection. What was friendship versus flirtation and how inexperience in the dating world may have blurred some lines. He also talks about the “still single” part of his life, why he’s actually content and answers some very direct questions about compromise, relationships and what might need to shift for the right person to come along. Plus, we dig into his dynamic with Vinnie, the “fake” label that spiralled after the live nomination and how things really stand between them now that the dust has settled. Edward also shares who he thinks is the smartest housemate. And who he’s backing to win and whether we’ll be seeing him at the live finale. 2:10 – The letter from home that became an eviction: Edward explains the moment he realised the wording wasn’t like his mum, how the twist blindsided him and why he still walked out of Dreamworld smiling 4:25 – “I want to quit”: inside the pressure cooker of the house, missing his family, saying things he didn’t fully mean and why walking out on his own was never actually an option 6:40 – Feeling overwhelmed & holding back: Edward talks about sussing out the house dynamics, avoiding the instant “boys’ club” and why it took time for him to come out of his shell 8:15 – Life on a TV set that looks like Play School: what it’s really like living in the hyper-bright Big Brother house and how cameras and microphones quickly become second nature 9:55 – Mia, mixed signals and friendship vs romance: Edward clarifies how he saw their connection, why he treats the women in his life similarly and how limited dating experience can complicate things 11:45 – Why he’s still single: family first, being rarely lonely, what he wants from a future partner and his response when asked directly if compromise might be an issue 13:30 – The live nomination & Vinnie’s “fake” label: Edward breaks down that huge turning point, Jane’s influence, what he was really trying to say and how the situation blew up beyond what he expected 15:10 – The “shut up” moment and villain edit: Edward reacts to seeing it back, the audience’s visceral response and why he owns his words while pointing out that everyone snaps sometimes 17:00 – Authenticity under pressure: why Edward believes Big Brother works best when people behave as they do in real life — including the messy, imperfect moments 18:20 – Smartest housemate, pick to win & finale chatter: why he rates Connor’s intelligence, why he’d love to see Big Bruce take out the title and whether we’ll be seeing Edward at the live finale 19:30 – Wingman Ben & life after the house: joking about hitting the Gold Coast together, fresh fades and what Edward hopes to take from the experience moving forward Whether you’re still reeling from the letter twist or fascinated by how different housemates cope under pressure, this episode is a must-listen. Hear Edward’s unfiltered take on gameplay, emotion, perception and life after Big Brother — while the season is still unfolding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training If your inbound pipeline dries up tomorrow, do you have a channel that can refill it on demand? Every agency owner needs at least one reliable way to attract new leads when things slow down. Today's guest doubled down on a podcast as his inbound engine, and it paid off big. But launching your first episode is just the beginning. The real growth comes from getting your ideal clients as guests, creating a conversation that builds connection (not just content), and staying consistent long enough to earn momentum. He'll break down how to find the right niche, build authority through partnerships, and turn podcasting into a powerful inbound system that keeps quality leads coming in on autopilot. Chase Clymer is the co-founder of Electric Eye, a Shopify Plus partner agency specializing in conversion rate optimization (CRO) and e-commerce growth strategy. Since 2016, he and his team have been helping direct-to-consumer brands optimize their digital storefronts to drive measurable results. Beyond his client work, Chase also hosts the Honest Ecommerce podcast, where he interviews founders and shares unfiltered lessons on what it takes to grow an online brand. In this episode, we'll discuss: On his strategic partnership with Shopify. Podcasting as a business development engine. The key to consistently booking great guests.

From Touring Musician to E-Commerce Marketer Before entering the agency world, Chase was a touring musician in a pop punk band. The road life didn't pay the bills, so he began experimenting with photography, design, and digital marketing, all skills that eventually laid the foundation for his agency. Towards the end of his music career, Chase's future co-founder Sean approached him with a few freelance projects. They quickly found themselves with six clients, and a lot of questions about taxes, pricing, and structure. The early chaos of being creators first and business owners second forced them to learn fast, especially when it came to how to position themselves, how to deliver results, and ultimately, how to specialize. As Chase puts it, "We realized if you can validate the results you're getting for people, they're going to be happier to pay you." That mindset led them toward e-commerce, where success is measurable and client satisfaction is tied directly to sales metrics. How Strategic Platform Partnerships (Like Shopify) Accelerate Agency Growth One of the biggest accelerators for his agency was its partnership with Shopify. When the agency first started, they were platform-agnostic, working across WordPress and other technologies. But after joining Shopify's Partner Program, Chase and his team found something rare — an actual human on the other end of the email. That support led to event invitations, collaboration opportunities, and eventually a deep specialization that positioned them as trusted experts. Chase credits much of their success to that early alignment. "We just happened to be in the right place at the right time," and the lesson for him was: pick your ecosystem wisely and go all in. He advises other agency owners to double down on one technology or niche rather than trying to be everything to everyone. "If your roof is leaking, you don't hire a general contractor, you hire a roofer," he says. It's the kind of clarity that will help you see real growth. Does this mean you should only aim to partner with Shopify if you're in the ecommerce niche? Not at all. Chase recognizes that part of their success story came from having found Shopify at its early stages. This allowed the agency to grow alongside them and unlock more opportunities. Using a Podcast as a Scalable Inbound Marketing Channel For many agencies, lead generation is an uphill battle. For Chase, it became a creative outlet that turned into a consistent revenue driver. In 2019, he launched his podcast, Honest Ecommerce, as a way to avoid writing blogs. But over time, it became a cornerstone of his agency's inbound and relationship strategy. Chase now uses the podcast to connect with ideal clients by inviting them on as guests. Instead of cold outreach, he reaches out on LinkedIn to CEOs of brands he admires, offering them a platform to share their stories. That invitation often leads to partnerships, friendships, and often clients. "You're not starting off on your back foot," he explains. "You're building a genuine relationship." Chase also uses the podcast to gain access to industry events. With a media pass, he's able to attend conferences, host panels, and meet prospects in person. Once relationships are formed, his back-end systems, from automated follow-up emails to segmented nurture lists, keep his agency top of mind until the timing aligns for collaboration. Proven Outreach Strategies to Book High-Value Podcast Guests When Chase comes across a brand doing something interesting, he doesn't pitch them services. Instead of positioning himself as another agency trying to sell, he looks to position himself as a platform offering value first. Once a potential guest accepts, Chase sets up a short 15-minute pre-interview call that he personally conducts. He uses this session to walk them through what to expect, answer any questions, and — most importantly — build rapport. As he puts it, "More time in the paint (more reps) makes the second conversation a lot easier." That small investment of time pays off, turning what could be a stiff Q&A into a relaxed, real conversation when recording day comes. This pre-call also helps him assess whether the guest is a fit for his audience and gently coach less experienced founders on how to tell their story in an engaging way. Then, before the episode goes live, he'll sometimes nudge guests to check out a few existing episodes from Honest Ecommerce. This helps them get familiar with the tone and flow of his show. Ultimately, the goal for Chase is always to create a cool piece of content. Anything else that may come from the relationship is a bonus. Why Consistency Is the Real Growth Lever in Podcast Lead Generation Chase believes all agency owners who are serious about making their business a success need to start building the inbound channels that produce on-demand leads. In his case, starting the podcast was the move that changed everything for his agency. However, podcasting will take time to produce results and requires consistency. Many business owners start a podcast and then give up after a couple of months. Publishing your first episode is only the beginning. What follows is a commitment to showing up week after week. "That is half the battle," he says. Podcasting, like SEO, compounds over time. The relationships built and the authority earned don't pay off instantly, but when they do, they create an inbound machine that's difficult to replicate. Pro Tip: Chase also believes podcasting can be a great tool in staying top of mind for clients and being a better strategic partner. He even does bonus episodes with partners and has a separate newsletter for partners he sends once a month with news of what the agency has been up to (attending a conference, launching a new website, etc). It usually produces at least a few referrals. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

In today's episode, I sit down with Ed Delgado, the President and CEO of Ecuatoriana Airlines, to talk about reviving Ecuador's iconic national carrier and the opportunity it presents. With over three decades in global aviation, Ed shares why Ecuador's underdeveloped domestic market, where buses remain the main competition, makes it one of the few regions where starting an airline still makes sense. We discuss the strategic plan backed by KPMG, the untapped tourism potential across the country's 14 airports, and how EquAir is positioning itself to reconnect Ecuador through domestic, regional, and eventually international routes built on a legacy brand.

When people think about wealth-building, they picture stock charts, IRR calculators, and "smart" portfolios engineered by advisors. What they never picture is a dentist quietly building long-term wealth through trees or using a whole life policy as the cheapest, most flexible source of capital in his business. That narrow view hides one of the most powerful truths about high-net-worth families today: the real wealth is built through boring, patient, predictable decisions that compound for decades… not the high-IQ investing most people obsess over. Most high earners are told to focus on returns. Jeff flips that equation. He focuses on building a life. He invests based on clarity, intention, and a long-term vision of what he wants his days to look like. Once you have that vision, the decisions become simple. You stop chasing the market and checking performance and start building something inevitable. In this episode, I sit down with dentist, entrepreneur, and long-term investor, Dr. Jeff Seibert. We unpack how he creates wealth by ignoring the noise, lowering his cost of capital, buying assets that grow while he sleeps, and designing his portfolio around the life he actually wants.    Guest Bio Dr. Jeff Seibert is a successful dentist and serial entrepreneur known for building highly profitable, well-run practices and using them as engines to fund private investments. What sets him apart is his refreshingly unique philosophy: he doesn't chase quick returns or market noise. He builds businesses and buys assets that compound quietly for decades, giving him freedom, control and long-term wealth without stress or speculation.   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

If you feel stupid while learning something new, you're doing it right. But if you keep doing the same thing over and over hoping it'll suddenly make sense - that's on you. The trick isn't to push harder; it's to find a new teacher, a new explanation, a new way in.That's exactly how Matthew Broussard approaches comedy - and everything else. A stand-up comedian, math nerd, and former financial analyst, Matthew is obsessed with learning and cracking the formula behind how things work. He treats every joke like an equation, testing, refining, and solving for laughter.He's the creator of Monday Punday, a puzzle webcomic and app, and has been featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Conan and Comedy Central's Roast Battle. He's also made appearances on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Mindy Project.

We talk about the hidden work beneath success, the difference between purpose and perfection, and why laughter might just be the purest form of optimism.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------This episode is brought to you by the Porsche USA Macan---------------------------Check out Matthew's Youtube page for his full comedy special “Hyperbolic”: https://www.youtube.com/@mondaypunday---------------------------
