Call center entrepreneur Richard Blank joins Doug Utberg to unpack what it really takes to build—and survive—25 years in one of the most volatile industries in business.This isn't a clean success story. It's a conversation about attrition, lost clients, rebuilding from zero, and making the decision to keep going when quitting would be easier.Richard shares how he built a call center in Costa Rica from scratch, scaling through secondhand infrastructure, constant turnover, and unpredictable clients. From losing employees overnight to watching deals collapse, he explains why resilience in people-driven businesses isn't optional—it's the business model.They explore the mechanics behind churn, the reality of outbound calling in a world that claims it's “dead,” and how systems—not luck—create stability over time. The conversation also dives into leadership philosophy: why promoting from within builds stronger teams, how empathy becomes a competitive advantage, and why transparency with clients prevents bigger failures later.At its core, this episode is about a single defining moment: choosing to continue when everything suggests you should stop. Because long-term success isn't built on avoiding setbacks—it's built on surviving them.TL;DR* Every business with people has churn—plan for it or fail* Outbound calling isn't dead, but it demands higher skill* Systems reduce chaos, but never eliminate it* Promoting from within builds trust and long-term stability* Transparency with clients prevents downstream failure* Resilience is built through repetition, not motivation* The hardest moment is deciding whether to continueMemorable Lines* “It's two steps forward and three steps back—but still forward.”* “You need to buy 30 seconds—no one gives you 10 minutes.”* “If you never get past the pitch, you never get to pitch.”* “You can lose money and recover—but losing self-respect is different.”* “Don't drown trying to save someone who won't swim.”GuestRichard Blank — Call center founder and operator25+ years building and scaling a Costa Rica–based call center in a high-churn, high-competition industry. Known for his focus on culture, internal growth, and long-term client relationships.
A Thousand Kisses: A Family’s Escape From the Nazis to a New Life by John W. Weiser https://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Kisses-Familys-Escape-Nazis/dp/1978318073 Intimate and harrowing, this memoir of love, escape and redemption is a rich account of the Weiser family’s life and flight from Nazi Vienna to Hungary to Brazil and to the U.S. It will keep the reader glued to a narrative that skillfully recreates the palpable tension of multiple escapes. A Thousand Kisses is at once instructive about a family's courage and determination to stay together and about the dangers of remaining silent while a government tightens immigration laws and promotes racial scapegoating.

Looking for the “one big thing” that fills your calendar? We make the case that there isn't one—and that's good news. Real growth for home inspectors comes from a thousand small moments: the first second someone sees your face online, the way you answer the phone, a crisp driveway speech, a clean pair of boots, and a follow-up text that arrives before anyone needs to ask.We break down how first impressions form in a blink and why trust lands before your qualifications do. Then we map a simple professionalism stack you can use right away: appearance that signals care, communication that feels clear and human, a predictable inspection process that calms agents and buyers, and follow-through that proves you're dependable after the report is sent. Along the way, we share practical tactics—responding to reviews (especially the tough ones), writing a real voicemail greeting, keeping texts readable, avoiding distracting Bluetooth gear on site, and preparing spare clothes and clean interior shoes.Brand touchpoints matter long before you step onto a porch, so we also dive into website basics, professional headshots, and social content that stays helpful and non-divisive. Cultural awareness becomes a quiet superpower: remove shoes when appropriate, learn simple greetings, and show respect that spreads through communities. We close with the most powerful habit of all—controlling your reaction under pressure—so you stay calm, curious, and kind when stakes feel high.If you're ready to replace gimmicks with reliable systems, this conversation will help you build trust faster, boost referrals, and steady your pipeline.

For the 109th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Ryan Thousand, CIO at Dahl Memorial Healthcare Association, to talk about fractional CIO work! We kick this episode off with Thousand sharing some examples of where he has had to right-size his approach to IT in rural health. Rural health is often brought up when discussing the disadvantages they have, so to flip that, we are discussing some of the advantages rural health IT leaders have over larger health systems. Next, we dive into Thousand’s experience as a fractional CIO leader for multiple organizations. Despite needing them, many critical access hospitals unfortunately don’t have a CIO. Thousand and I talk about what the fractional CIO work looks like for these hospitals that can’t get a full CIO. Then we talk about the biggest challenges Thousand faces as an IT leader. Next, we take a look at the places where IT doesn’t scale while also having workforce shortages. We then debate how to deal with those challenges. Lastly, we conclude this episode with Thousand sharing his advice to other CIOs and aspiring CIOs out there. Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss in this episode: What are some examples of where you have to kind of right-size your approach to IT in rural health? What are some advantages that rural health IT leaders have over larger health systems? I’m sure many listeners are intrigued by fractional CIO work. What’s your experience like as a fractional CIO leader for multiple organizations? Many critical access hospitals don’t have a CIO, but really need one. How’s the fractional CIO work for a hospital that can’t get a full CIO? What’s one of your biggest challenges as an IT leader? Where are places where IT doesn’t scale, but you also may have workforce shortages? How do you deal with that challenge? What advice would you give to other CIOs or aspiring CIOs out there?

In this thrilling episode of 'Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar', we follow the insurance investigator Johnny Dollar as he navigates a complex murder case involving the glamorous Marilyn Major. The story unfolds with Dollar receiving an urgent call that leads him to Hollywood, where he discovers a murder scene and becomes embroiled in a web of deceit, blackmail, and danger. As he investigates, he encounters various suspects, including a distraught husband and a mysterious woman, all while trying to clear his name and solve the case before it's too late. The narrative is filled with suspense, clever dialogue, and classic noir elements, culminating in a dramatic confrontation and resolution.Most insurance investigators wouldn't survive what Johnny Dollar endures in this case — a murder rooted in blackmail, betrayal, and a tangled web of lies involving high-profile stars and shady characters.

We break down the significance of missing letters signed “Barron” and “Lawrence,” revealing how blackmail leverage can fuel murder plots. You'll also hear how Johnny's quick thinking — tossing a phone into a suspect's face, using a fingernail file as a makeshift tool, and navigating a jail cell — makes all the difference between getting away or getting caught.Why does this matter? Because in a world where secrets are lucrative and danger lurks behind every door, understanding the subtleties of blackmail, deception, and quick action can save lives — and your reputation. Whether you're a true crime fan, a detective in training, or simply looking for a masterclass in detective work, this episode offers tangible tactics and a gripping story that illustrates why Johnny Dollar remains one of radio's most iconic investigators.Perfect for crime enthusiasts, aspiring detectives, and anyone who loves a fast-paced, detailed mystery that leaves no stone unturned.

This episode is fueled by a lot of coffee.We're joined by Alana Matthews, former BigLaw litigator, trailblazing sports executive, and founder & CEO of Alautus. She's a woman who runs on instinct, grit, and an impressive amount of caffeine. The girl whose mother cut her hair short and snuck her onto a boys' hockey team at age seven has never waited for permission since.After graduating from law school, Alana began her career in BigLaw litigation, but a Google search for “how to become a general manager” led her to buy a $150 hockey history book from what looked like a sketchy website with a single “buy now” button. The book was written by the Dallas Stars' COO. Six months later, she was hired.Alana spent over eight years with the Dallas Stars, rising to Executive Vice President of Business Operations and General Counsel and becoming the youngest GC in major league sports. From leading operations through COVID to navigating the pressure of a Stanley Cup run, her career has been built in high-stakes environments where preparation, confidence, and endurance matter.Today, Alana is channeling that same energy into Alautus, a women's personalized clothing company born from her own experience returning to work as a new mother and executive when finding clothing that actually fit, functioned, and felt powerful proved harder than it should have been.Building Alautus hasn't exactly been all glitz and glamour — more like pallets of fabric overtaking her garage and costly trial-and-error moments — but a 15-espresso train ride across Italy to meet her fabric supplier is the kind of caffeine-fueled highlight we respect.☕️ Favorite BrewBlack coffee (almond milk optional), British tea from heirloom cups, and Italian espresso—sometimes in quantities that raise eyebrows (but who's counting?)This episode is about stamina, instinct, and backing yourself even before you feel “ready.”“Go for it.”
