Podcasts about thriving business

In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway welcomes Brandon Jones, a dynamic entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry, owner of med spas, real estate ventures, and an online business. A devoted husband of 18 years and father to two teenagers, Brandon shares his journey from grueling corporate shift work to launching a CrossFit gym and building multiple successful businesses. He dives into the realities of entrepreneurship, debunking the “build it and they'll come” myth and emphasizing the critical role of marketing and systems in achieving growth. With a passion for fitness and faith, Brandon offers practical insights on leading with vision, fostering a strong team culture, and balancing personal excellence with business success.Brandon breaks down the essentials of business growth: creating clear systems and processes, delegating effectively, and mastering marketing to avoid “market or die.” He shares actionable advice on starting with simple standard operating procedures (SOPs) to streamline operations and free up time for high-impact tasks. Beyond business, Brandon discusses his non-negotiables; daily fitness, clean nutrition, family time, and faith; as the foundation for personal excellence. He offers simple nutrition tips, like cutting sugar and increasing protein, and recommends tools like the Bobby Approved app to make healthy choices easier. With a heartfelt call to escape the chaos of entrepreneurship, Brandon inspires listeners to take small, intentional steps toward a thriving business and a fulfilling life.Key Takeaways:Leadership and Culture: Strong leadership and a positive team culture are vital for business success; align your team with a clear vision to avoid disengagement.Systems and Processes: Write clear, simple SOPs (at a 5th–6th grade level) for all tasks to ensure accountability and scalability, starting with your own daily responsibilities.Market or Die: Consistent marketing is non-negotiable; even average businesses can outperform the best if they master marketing and visibility.Small Wins: Identify 3–5 time-sucking tasks you dislike, create SOPs, and delegate them to focus on money-making activities and reduce chaos.“Market or die. If you're not constantly marketing your business, it's just slowly dying.” - Brandon JonesLearn more about Tim through the following links:FacebookPodcasting group

Welcome to another episode of Thriving Business podcast, real stories and innovative insights to help you grow a business that truly thrives.Today, Kate and Sam share an open, thoughtful, and at times surprising conversation about the rapid evolution of AI — how they're using it today, how it's impacting their decision-making, and where it's all heading next.They also take a deep and personal dive into the field of Human Design and how it's helping them both rethink how they structure their work, energy, and business offerings.Highlights:Real AI in Practice: Kate shares an example of how AI helped cut hours of analysis down to seconds when choosing between job candidates using Harrison Assessments — another example of significant time savings and efficiency.Gut Feelings vs Pattern Recognition: A fascinating and candid discussion on what our intuition actually is — and whether our “gut” is just our brains quietly recognising patterns we can't consciously process, but which AI can recognise instantly.Human Design in Business: Sam introduces Human Design and how it's offering deeper insight than traditional personality tests. They explore how knowing your type can help you realign your business model to match how you actually like to work.Finding Business Alignment: Kate reflects on how misalignment in her work left her uninspired, and how Human Design reminded her to structure her offers around deep work, spaciousness, and collaborative group settings.Agentic AI Is Here: Sam explains the next wave of AI — agentic AI — and how it's fundamentally different from the AI tools we're used to. These new AI agents can actually take action on your behalf (think booking flights, answering emails, or running parts of your business). Exciting? Definitely. A little terrifying? Also yes.Ethics, Trust, and the Future of AI: The conversation gets real about what it means to give AI more responsibility in our lives — from inbox management to robotic surgeries. Where do we draw the line? And are we really ready for what's coming?Tools & Resources Mentioned:Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini (generative AI tools)Harrison AssessmentsFree Human Design Chart - [hint, copy and past your results into ChatGPT or Claude.ai and ask it to interpret the results and what they mean for you and your business model]Human Design types: Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, ReflectorsThis episode blends tech, intuition, and personal reflection in a way that feels fresh, relevant, and deeply human.

What happens when everything you've built stops feeling like you? This isn't a story about burnout or business failure—it's about the radical courage to honor who you're becoming, even when it makes zero logical sense. In this episode, Meghan shares why she walked away from a globally successful business that was thriving by every metric. The real moment she knew. The price tag of freedom. And the terrifying question every successful person faces: "Who am I without this?" If you've ever felt disconnected from something you worked hard to build, wondered if you're allowed to want something different, or questioned whether success is supposed to feel this heavy—this conversation will hit different. Because sometimes the most courageous pivot isn't growing bigger. It's trusting the whisper that says it's time to scale down and come home to yourself. Perfect for anyone ready to redefine what success actually means. Links + Resources Subscribe on Substack Full show notes 30% off Rise + Shine: Guided Path to Heart-Led Living and Leadership

What were you doing when you were 12? Blake Shook, the founder of Desert Creek Honey, was wrangling swarms of bees and selling honey – all before middle school let out. What began as a childhood hobby sparked a decades-long entrepreneurial journey that led to the creation of a multi-million honey empire with over 120 employees. But before reaching that level of success, Blake lost his entire bee population – just as he was deciding whether to go to college – and had to choose whether to walk away or take the biggest risk of his life. Host Andrea Marquez explores how Blake scaled a business built around something delicate and unpredictable and what it takes to keep moving forward when your livelihood depends on something you can't fully control. If you've ever wondered whether you really need a degree to build something big or how to bounce back when everything you've built disappears overnight, this is the story for you.Got a bold leap of your own?

Blake talks about the hardest lesson he ever had to learn.(14:42) When everything seems to be going wrong, do you give up or go all in? Blake explains the choice he made.(16:14) How do you rebuild after losing everything?

Here's why diversification is important. (19:21) What happens when you're suddenly forced to scale up?

Joe Nicolosi was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. He is the Founder of Starcade Capital and helps clients in all 50 states find funding to operate and expand their businesses, even if they are hard to fund.

In addition, we talked about what he has learned by studying people like Jeremy Miner and Dr. Joe Dispenza, the value of staying in your lane in business and sticking to what you are best at, staying top of mind wth clients who may work with him repeatedly, his favorite sources of leads, and why getting hung up on the interest rate for your loan isn't the best indicator of why a loan is good.

Running a business is like an endless game of catch-up—responding to trends, putting out fires, and always sprinting toward the next goal without ever feeling like you've arrived. It's exhausting to chase success when the definition keeps shifting, leaving little time to step back and see what's actually working. Sometimes, the problem isn't a lack of effort but a mindset that keeps you stuck in reaction mode instead of building with intention. Real growth happens when you stop running in circles and start creating on your own terms. Beate Chelette is the Growth Architect and founder of The Women's Code. She helps leaders maximize profits and scale their impact. With a background in creative industries, she specializes in aligning personal purpose with business strategy.
