How small business owners can escape price-driven competition by redefining their market and creating a new category instead of competing in crowded spaces. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/600-kevin-maney-create-your-category/ Many small business owners enter crowded markets and end up competing primarily on price. But according to author and business strategist Kevin Maney, there is another path: create your own category. In this conversation, Henry Lopez speaks with Kevin Maney about the ideas in his latest book "The Category Creation Formula." The discussion explores how entrepreneurs can redefine the problem they solve and differentiate their business in ways that eliminate direct price competition. Kevin explains that market categories exist primarily in the minds of customers. Businesses that successfully define a new category often become the default leader in that space and capture most of the attention and economic value. Rather than competing to be slightly better or slightly cheaper, the goal is to become meaningfully different. Kevin introduces the Category Creation Formula: Context + Missing + Innovation = New Category First, business owners must understand the context of how their customers' world is changing. Next, they identify what is missing in the current solutions. Finally, they introduce an innovation that solves that missing piece in a compelling new way. The conversation also explores the importance of storytelling in marketing. Instead of starting with features or products, businesses should begin with the problem customers experience. When customers feel understood, they become more open to new solutions. As Kevin explains: "It's better to be different than to try to be better." Through examples ranging from laundromats in Brooklyn to dishwasher repair services, Henry and Kevin demonstrate how entrepreneurs can redefine a problem, create a new category, and stand out even in highly saturated markets. If you're building or growing a small business, this episode offers practical insights into escaping the trap of competing only on price. Kevin Maney is a bestselling author, longtime business journalist, and co-founding partner of Category Design Advisors, where he helps leadership teams define and lead new market categories. He previously co-authored the influential book Play Bigger, which introduced the concept of category design to mainstream business audiences. Kevin's writing has appeared in major publications including Newsweek, Fortune, Wired, USA Today, and The Atlantic. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez. The How of Business podcast focuses on helping you start, run, grow and exit your small business. The How of Business is a top-rated podcast for small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Ever feel like you are working hard, checking the boxes, and doing everything you were told would lead to success… but something still feels slightly off? Maybe your career is moving forward, your goals are progressing, and from the outside, everything looks great. Yet internally, you feel out of alignment. Perhaps your health has slipped, your relationships feel rushed, or you are simply hustlin' without happiness. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I share a powerful framework designed to help people reconnect ambition with well-being. Instead of chasing success that eventually leads to burnout, the episode focuses on a practical system that helps individuals create balance while still pursuing big goals. I discuss the 5 Stages to Happy Hustlin', a simple process that helps people evaluate where they are in life and take intentional steps toward greater alignment. It also highlights tools and resources from The Happy Hustle, a USA Today national bestselling book that teaches readers how to systematically harmonize success across the most important areas of life. What makes this episode especially valuable is how practical and relatable the message is. Rather than presenting complicated strategies, the focus is on simple habits and self-awareness practices that anyone can implement immediately. One of the most important takeaways is the power of conducting an honest life audit. Before making changes, it is essential to clearly assess where you currently stand. Many people avoid this step because it can feel uncomfortable. But true growth begins with awareness. The key is approaching the process with gratitude rather than judgment, recognizing where progress has been made while also acknowledging where improvement is needed. Another major lesson from the episode is the importance of defining what success actually looks like. Many people feel stuck or frustrated simply because their goals are vague. It is difficult to hit a target that has never been clearly defined. When you take time to visualize what a five out of five looks like in the different areas of your life, your decisions become clearer and your actions become more intentional. Once the vision is clear, the next step is reverse engineering the path forward. Big goals can feel overwhelming when viewed as a single destination. But when they are broken down into smaller, manageable steps, progress becomes far more achievable. Creating a simple game plan transforms abstract dreams into concrete actions. The episode also emphasizes the importance of taking decisive action. Vision and planning are powerful, but they mean little without execution. Managing time, prioritizing the right activities, and committing to consistent action are what ultimately create momentum and results. Perhaps the most powerful principle discussed is persistent consistency, a concept popularized by Zig Ziglar. Real change rarely happens overnight. It happens through small, repeated actions that compound over time. When you stay committed to the process and learn to enjoy the journey, growth becomes sustainable and fulfilling. Another practical insight shared in the episode is the value of shortening the feedback loop. Instead of evaluating progress only once a month or once a year, conducting regular weekly check-ins allows you to quickly identify where you are out of alignment and make adjustments before problems grow larger. This habit creates continuous improvement rather than periodic correction. Ultimately, the message of this episode is simple but powerful. Success alone does not guarantee fulfillment. True happiness comes from aligning ambition with health, relationships, purpose, and personal well-being. When those areas begin working together rather than competing for your attention, the hustle no longer feels exhausting. It becomes energizing. If you are ready to assess where you stand, redefine what success looks like, and take intentional steps toward a more balanced and meaningful life, this episode offers a clear starting point.

James sits down with investigative journalist Gina Barton, host and creator of the USA Today true crime podcast Untested, to talk about a case that illustrates the real-world consequences of untested rape kits. In this episode of Untested, Detective Annie Harrison learns that a man she is investigating for rape in Michigan has also been accused hundreds of miles away. The evidence existed. The reports were filed. But delays and gaps in the system allowed years to pass before patterns came into focus. This conversation looks at how evidence can sit on shelves, how survivors are left waiting, and how one detective refused to let the case go quiet. Listen to Untested wherever you get podcasts.

Nick and Jonathan react to USA Today labeling Shedeur Sanders as a ‘big winner' from free agency, and they address Jason Lloyd's comments from when he filled in on The Ken Carman Show.

In this eye-opening conversation, Ross Rosenberg is joined by psychotherapist and author Chelsey Cole to explore why traditional codependency frameworks — including Codependency Anonymous — may actually be doing more harm than good. Together they unpack the crucial difference between grandiose and vulnerable narcissists, how childhood experiences with narcissistic parents create the Relationship Template that drives adults straight into toxic partnerships, and why CoDA's Step One amounts to institutional gaslighting by framing the codependent as the one with a control problem. Ross also explains the origins of the term "codependency" and why Self-Love Deficit Disorder is a far more accurate and empowering lens for healing. Chelsey shares her own journey — from narcissistic relationships to founding her Rewired for Resilience program — and the three phases of recovery she outlines in her book If I'd Only Known. If you've ever wondered why you keep attracting the wrong people, no matter how hard you try, this conversation will give you the missing piece.Chelsey Brooke Cole is a licensed psychotherapist, Certified Partner Trauma Therapist, and best-selling author of If Only I'd Known! How to Outsmart Narcissists, Set Guilt-Free Boundaries, and Create Unshakeable Self-Worth. Specializing in narcissistic abuse and complex trauma, her work has been featured in USA Today, HuffPost, and Psychology Today. Through her speaking, writing, podcast, and healing programs, she supports thousands of survivors daily — as host of Restoring Resilience and creator of Rewired for Resilience: Reclaiming Yourself After Narcissistic Abuse.Support the showABOUT ROSS ROSENBERG Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, is a psychotherapist, educator, expert witness, and celebrated author.

In this edition of EMS One-Stop, Rob Lawrence is joined by Bob Davies and Hilary Gates to explore the mission behind Six Minutes to Live, a growing movement focused on improving survival from sudden cardiac arrest. | MORE: ‘Six Minutes to Live': Mini-documentary spotlights cardiac arrest care crisis The conversation begins with the stark reality that every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces survival by 10%, and then widens into a larger discussion about injustice, geography and system performance. Bob reflects on his landmark USA Today investigation into EMS disparities across the country, while Hilary explains why this issue remains deeply personal and why communities, not just medical systems, must be part of the solution. The episode then turns from problem to action. Hilary and Bob describe how Six Minutes to Live is using storytelling, advocacy, community partnerships and public training to drive change, especially through bystander CPR education, school-based training and public access defibrillation. From Santa Cruz to the Resuscitation Academy in Seattle, the emphasis is on making the simple feel possible: hands-only CPR, early defibrillation and empowering ordinary people to act. The result is more than a nonprofit or a campaign. As Rob notes, this is a movement. Memorable quotes “For every minute that a person's heart has stopped, their chance of survival decreases by 10%.” — Hilary Gates “Life and death is defined by geography.” — Bob Davies “There are vulnerable, voiceless people living on the margins who need a voice.” — Hilary Gates “The main way that people save more lives is they care.” — Bob Davies “Every podcast that Hillary and I are involved with is actually sponsored by R&D. Rip off and duplicate, show up, take our stuff, go and save lives with it.” — Rob Lawrence Additional resources Six Minutes to Live Six Minutes to Live mini documentary Episode timeline 01:34-02:14 – Rob Lawrence introduces the episode and welcomes Hilary Gates and Bob Davies. 02:21-03:21 – Hilary Gates shares her background as an educator turned paramedic and cofounder of Six Minutes to Live. 03:48-08:14 – Bob Davies recounts his experience as a paramedic and journalist, including his USA Today investigation into EMS performance disparities. 08:24-10:50 – Rob asks what has changed in 20 years; Bob discusses the enduring formula, new technology and the energy of younger clinicians. 11:08-13:02 – Hilary explains why Six Minutes to Live was founded and frames cardiac arrest survival as an issue of injustice and community responsibility. 13:13-17:08 – Rob asks what Six Minutes to Live is and how it fits among other advocacy organizations; Bob and Hilary describe its role as a connector and storyteller. 18:04-18:39 – Rob resets the conversation and asks what the organization is doing now. 18:50-20:47 – Hilary describes the Santa Cruz partnership, community CPR training and support from donors and local agencies. 21:12-23:47 – Bob highlights their upcoming workshop at the Resuscitation Academy in Seattle and the power of systems that care enough to measure and improve. 24:00-25:20 – Rob offers a transatlantic explainer connecting Eisenberg, Utstein and UK ambulance response standards. 25:24-28:41 – Hilary discusses community myths about CPR and AEDs, and the need to simplify action for laypeople. 28:48-31:02 – Bob outlines what is next: documentaries, deep listening, connecting voices and helping movements grow organically. 31:17-33:01 – Rob and Hilary talk about creating local champions, liability concerns and getting communities to act. 33:13-34:47 – Rob asks the closing question; Hilary urges EMS clinicians to become local champions for simple lifesaving actions. 35:22-37:20 – Bob closes with a call for EMS professionals to confront the “little secrets” they know and act on them.

In a world flooded with content and incremental business strategies, standing out is more than a competitive advantage, it’s a necessity. Legendary Category Designers Kevin Maney and Mike Damphousse joined Christopher Lochhead on this week’s episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different to dive into their latest thinking on category creation formula and the evolving marketplace. Having helped shape the category design movement with their previous work on “Play Bigger,” Kevin Maney and Mike Damphousse now bring ten years of new insights, tools, and experiences to the table. Their journey reveals the potential for entrepreneurs and established leaders to move from simply competing in existing markets to creating new market categories entirely. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Category Creation Formula: Context, Missing, Innovation A central development in Kevin Maney and Mike Damphousse's new book, “The Category Creation Formula,” is a straightforward equation: context plus missing plus innovation equals a new market category. This reframing shifts the conversation away from finding conventional “problems” and instead asks, “Given the changing context, what's missing for your target audience?” This subtle change is game-changing. By looking at how context—like technology shifts, societal changes, or policy moves—creates new gaps, innovators can identify true market opportunities. The missing is not just a problem, but an unmet need that, when matched with the right innovation, creates something genuinely new.   From Incremental Competition to Defining New Possibilities Traditional business thinking focuses on being better than the competition. Maney and Damphousse challenge this status quo with their method, which helps companies discover and fill what’s missing in the marketplace, rather than simply outperform existing players. Through hundreds of client projects, they have observed that when teams deeply engage with the formula, they often experience breakthrough clarity. This clarity leads to designing not only new products but building entirely new categories—transforming strategy meetings into the birthplace of the next Uber or LinkedIn Sales Solutions. The emotional impact on entrepreneurs is real, often marking a visionary moment that aligns teams, sharpens belief, and sets the trajectory toward category leadership.   AI and the Future: Accelerating Category Creation Artificial Intelligence is not just the latest innovation but a foundational change in context, similar to electricity's impact more than a century ago. For category designers, AI accelerates both the identification of what's missing and the speed at which innovations reach the market. As AI makes knowledge and execution close to free, what now matters is human insight: judgment about what new needs are emerging and how to fill those with breakthrough solutions. With the adjacent possible expanding, individuals and small teams can create billion-dollar outcomes, making category design skills more critical than ever. Maney and Damphousse's formula provides a framework to navigate this shift, empowering creators to define the future rather than react to it.

Have you been told your weight is your problem and that weight loss is the solution? What if everything you have been taught about the number on the scale, diet, and exercise is not just wrong but actively keeping you from becoming weight healthy? In this conversation on Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa sits down with Ashley Koff, registered dietitian and author of the new book Your Best Shot: The Personalized System for Optimal Weight Health, GLP-1 Shot or Not. Ashley shares her own weight health story, from being bullied as a child for her belly to discovering that her body did not have what it needed to run better, and how that revelation changed the entire trajectory of her life and career. This conversation covers the four pillars of better nutrition (balance, quantity, timing, and quality), the pizza metaphor for building a personalized plan, and why digestion and hydration are the crust, not the sauce. Because weight health is not about restriction. It is about building a body that has what it needs.Ashley Koff, RD, is the USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot (HarperOne), founder of The Better Nutrition Program (BNP), and a pioneering voice behind the emerging weight health movement.

In this episode, I sat down with Tina Brigley to talk about why entrepreneurs need to build a personal brand, not just a company brand. We broke down how storytelling, authenticity, and vulnerability are what really create trust, and why the messy parts of your journey are often the most powerful parts of your message. Tina shared her incredible story of losing the business she helped build, rebuilding from the ground up, and discovering that people were buying into her, not just the company. We also talked about my own shift toward more transparent content and why people connect more when you stop performing and start telling the truth.
