Valuing Our Non-Shared Experiences | What We Survive Gives Us a Unique & Refreshing Point of ViewMuch of life up until we graduate from school prepares us for similar experiences.There are very few of us competing for the same role, or interested in the same opportunities who bring skills, competencies, and talents that are strikingly different from one another. As they say, "Birds of a feather, flock together."So there needs to be a differentiator. Something that you bring, that sets you apart in all the right ways... and often that game changing difference is in the non-shared experiences that we're too quick to forget.What layers into your perspectives and your points of view, are often influenced by the pivotal moments that are specific to your individual journey. Use those insights to your advantage.Do you have any questions?

A masterclass in “doing the thing.” Frontline Obsession & Gemba Walks: Why Ryan frequently travels the world (visiting 19 countries last year) to meet employees and customers. He explains the power of Gemba walks, being physically present on the frontlines, and how it shapes his leadership. How He Runs Flexport: Ryan's leadership playbook includes: Managing through writing. Every one of his 26 teams writes a six-page memo monthly, followed by deep conversations. Daily conversations with 30-40 employees to stay connected. Living Flexport's values: Empower Clients, Play the Long Game, Act Like an Entrepreneur, Commit to the Vision, Ask Why 5 Times.

Choose your role models wisely." “We're making global trade as simple and reliable as flipping a light switch.” “Even wise people are wrong 30% of the time. You must stay humble.”

SuperTeams fail more often than they succeed.10:14 - George Paton really doesn't get his flowers as a GM. He's done an amazing job with the Broncos. Hiring Nathaniel Hackett is a huge black mark on his record, but basically everything else he's done has been a success.29:13 - What's Courtland Sutton's value to the Broncos?

Over the past 13 years, we've built, paused, and rebuilt our pet sitting business across multiple cities and life stages. In this episode, we share the lessons that have shaped how we operate today—from getting licensed and insured, to listening closely to clients, and setting clear policies. We talk about the hard decisions that came with growth, like raising prices and ending services that no longer fit. We also reflect on the emotional journey of staying connected to our work while learning to lead with boundaries. It's a candid look at the evolution of a pet care business and the people behind it. Main Topics Licensing and insurance basics Client communication best practices Blocking and protecting time off Evolving with your business Valuing your time and boundaries Main Takeaway: We had to make changes because they were right for us… They were what we needed, both personally and as a business. After 13 years in the pet sitting industry, we've learned that not every decision will make everyone happy—and that's okay. Whether it was shutting down boarding, raising prices, or walking away from house sitting, each change moved us closer to a business that aligned with our lives and values. You don't have to say yes to every client or follow someone else's path. You have permission to make bold choices that serve you, not just your business.

Is Ethical Overvaluing Really Ethical? | Rob Graves Discusses the Paradox of Pricing in Estate Agency. In this interview, Rob Graves, former estate agent and now a leading estate agency coach, tackles the controversial subject of ethical overvaluing. While many agents may feel pressure to overvalue properties to secure listings, Rob challenges the practice, arguing that even when it's done with good intentions, it can harm sellers in the long run. Rob dives into the consequences of overpricing homes, including the increased risk of falling through and the impact on achieving the best price. He also discusses the subtle balance between motivation, fear, and price when setting a property's value and how it influences decision making in the market. With years of experience, Rob also sheds light on the differences between corporate estate agents and self employed agents when it comes to vendor management. If you're looking to build a sustainable, profitable estate agency business without compromising ethics, this is a must listen!

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron speaks with Rick Calabrese, a specialist in business valuation and owner of Commonwealth M&A. Rick delves into the critical role of professional valuations for small business owners, particularly those in the lower middle market with revenues ranging from $5 million to $100 million. He explains why business value is often an intangible asset that requires expert assessment. Rick also highlights common factors that impact valuations, such as heavy owner involvement and customer concentration. Sharing insights from his firm's track record—successfully selling seven businesses in just two and a half years—he underscores the importance of strengthening operational systems, refining financial metrics, and building a trusted team of advisors. Ultimately, Rick emphasizes that thoughtful preparation and a clear plan are essential to achieving a successful business exit. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Get a Professional Valuation: Your business is likely your largest asset, yet its value is often intangible. Engage valuation specialists to understand its true worth, especially before planning an exit. Reduce Owner Dependence: Businesses that are overly reliant on the owner are harder to sell. Build strong teams and systems so the company can thrive without you. The most attractive businesses are often run by owners who can afford to be on vacation. Diversify Your Customer Base: Avoid heavy customer concentration. Buyers see too much revenue tied to a few clients as a risk. Broaden your client mix and aim for recurring revenue streams. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Plan Early & Be Patient: Preparing for a sale can take years. Strengthen operations, improve financial metrics, and update valuations regularly so you're ready when the time—and the market—is right. Build a Trusted Deal Team: Selling a business isn't like selling a house. Surround yourself with experienced advisors—specialist lawyers, CPAs, and M&A experts—to guide you through this complex process. Understand the Buyer's Perspective: Buyers focus on risk, stability, and future cash flows. Position your business as a predictable, systematized operation to command a premium price. One action small business owners can take: According to Rick Calabrese, one action a small business owner should take is to reduce owner dependence by building strong teams and systems—so the business can operate smoothly without them, making it far more attractive and valuable to future buyers.

The discussion underscores the necessity of ongoing training and development for all employees, regardless of age, to ensure that organisations remain competitive in an ever-evolving technological landscape.

Tradition matters — in martial arts and in life. It teaches discipline, respect, and perseverance. Old-school practices like kata still have value, even if modern systems move away from them. Tradition connects us — like family meals and passed-down customs — helping us stay grounded. Be present — Tim ties in the four dimensions (height, width, depth, time) to explain how being mindful of posture and breath can keep us aware in both martial arts and daily life. Life is short — every breath matters, so walk with confidence and make each day count.

The Mishnah in Pirkei Avot teaches us how deeply beloved we are to Hashem — not only did He give us His precious Torah, but He also expressed His immense love by telling us just how valuable that gift is. Shavuot is a time to appreciate the Torah as our guiding light and to reflect on the responsibility that comes with such a gift. The pasuk in Tehillim states: " טוֹב לִי תוֹרַת פִּיךָ מֵאַלְפֵי זָהָב וָכָסֶף " — "The Torah of Your mouth is better for me than thousands of gold and silver pieces" (Tehillim 119:72). The mefarshim are puzzled: how can something eternal like the Torah be compared to something as finite and physical as gold and silver? One explanation is that, as physical beings, we naturally place high value on material wealth. The pasuk is providing a relatable point of comparison. To us, there is no greater earthly treasure than vast amounts of gold and silver — and yet, the Torah tells us its value pales in comparison to the Torah's worth. Hashem instilled within us an affinity for wealth specifically so we could begin to grasp, on our own terms, just a fraction of the Torah's true value. Yet, there lies a danger. Sometimes we become so enamored by the mashal that we lose sight of the nimshal — the deeper truth it's meant to teach. The Magen David explains this with a parable: A king wanted his subjects to appreciate his glory, so he adorned his officers in every province with the finest clothing, using wealth from the royal treasury. He hoped people would say, "If the officers are dressed like this, how much greater must the king be!" But instead, people fixated on the officers and forgot the king entirely. This is what happens when we glorify physical wealth and forget that it's merely a tool to help us appreciate the infinitely greater glory of Torah. Another pitfall comes when people view mitzvot as mere tools to achieve physical rewards. For example, someone may take on a 40-day acceptance to refrain from lashon hara in hopes of achieving a personal salvation. In such cases, the mitzvah becomes a means to an end — the salvation is the focus, not the growth. But this perspective is flawed. Physical rewards are minor side effects of the real reward — the mitzvah itself. No worldly pleasure could ever equal the spiritual elevation one receives from performing even the smallest mitzvah. If someone doesn't receive the outcome they were hoping for, they should still rejoice in the merit of having fulfilled a mitzvah. And if the desired outcome is granted, it should not diminish the value of the mitzvah, nor should one think it was only worthwhile because it "worked." The mitzvah brings a person closer to Hashem, elevates the neshama , and yields eternal benefit. The Chatam Sofer writes, to truly benefit from a mitzvah, one must first value it. Chazal tell us that tzitzit protect a person from sin — yet some wonder why they don't feel that protection. One reason might be a lack of appreciation for the mitzvah itself. If we don't value our mitzvot, we don't engage with them fully — and we miss out on their spiritual power. The same is true for all mitzvot. If a teacher of Torah to children understood that the world stands in the merit of what he is doing, he would never interrupt his class to check a message. If he truly internalized what the Kav HaYashar teaches — that 18,000 angels gather the words spoken by children learning Torah — he would not trade his role for anything in the world. Every word of Torah we learn is more precious than any material success this world can offer. Let us take the time to appreciate what we are privileged to do each day and thank Hashem for the indescribable zechut of sharing in His most precious gift — the Torah.

Nick sits down with a truly impressive figure in public service, Ryan Alsop, the Chief Executive Officer for Napa County in today's informative and fascinating episode. Ryan's career is a notable path through the demanding world of California government, from LA County to Kern County, and now leading one of the most renowned regions globally. He and Nick get into what it really means to lead, the absolute necessity of staying humble and always learning, and how he thinks about building teams and genuine connections. Ryan shares a central belief that shapes his entire approach: the need to "get better at everything," a surprising and refreshing take from someone at his level. He talks about the many hats a CEO wears, from understanding complex fiscal issues and managing sensitive personnel matters to navigating a global pandemic, which he did in Kern County. It's this commitment to being always a student – constantly listening, reading, and developing – that really stands out. And it's not just talk; he lives it, viewing even his best skills as having room for improvement. You do not want to miss this episode - there's so much here for leaders at any stage. Episode Highlights: • Ryan's deep belief in humility and the constant need for self improvement • His philosophy on hiring • Why authentic connections and truly seeing people are fundamental to Ryan's leadership • Handling complex California government landscapes with integrity and strategic awareness • Learning from both positive examples and from behaviors he chooses not to emulate • The important role his family plays in grounding him, supporting work life balance, and fueling his dedication • Ryan's passion for creating tangible value in the lives of his team and the wider community he serves • Finding wisdom and guidance from a wide array of people and experiences • Valuing broad mentorship Key Takeaways: "If you're holding your subordinates' hands too often, you hired the wrong person. Let them do their job." "Success comes from working hard and being someone others can count on. If you're not counted on, you're discounted." "Experience changes who you are. With time, you learn to listen more and take yourself less seriously." "My job is to mitigate chaos, keeping the organization and elected officials on a calm, productive path." "Be politically astute, but avoid being political. Understand agendas, but don't meddle." "Nobody likes a know-it-all. Practice humility and learn from others." "Authenticity is critical. Be genuine and deliberate in your relationships and business dealings." "Hiring is crucial. Always recruit people smarter than you to build a strong organization." "Always improve. Stay in school, keep learning, and never stop developing as a person." "Family is everything. They're the engine that drives you, motivating you through every challenge."

In this episode of Retire with Style, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia explore the world of alternative investments, with a focus on private equity and private credit. They discuss what it means to be an accredited investor, the different types of private equity investments, and the typical life cycle and structure of private equity funds—including the roles of general and limited partners. The conversation also covers key risks, such as liquidity constraints and valuation challenges, and explains how private investments can fit into a broader retirement income strategy. Wade and Alex highlight the growing accessibility of these investments for retail investors, the rise of private credit markets, and the relationship between volatility and expected returns—underscoring the importance of understanding risk when evaluating investment decisions. Listen now to learn more!   Takeaways:  Private Equity Private equity involves investing in private companies rather than publicly traded stocks. The main types of private equity are venture capital, growth equity, and buyouts. These funds typically follow a seven- to eight-year life cycle and are structured with general partners (who manage the fund) and limited partners (who provide capital). Carried interest is a key component of compensation for general partners. Liquidity is a major concern—investments are often locked up for long periods. Valuing private companies is often opaque and can mislead investors. In venture capital, most returns come from a small number of successful investments. Private equity can provide diversification benefits in a broader portfolio. Private Credit Private credit focuses on lending, often to individuals or private firms, and is distinct from private equity. These investments are gaining popularity, driven by institutional demand and the search for yield. Platforms like iCapital are increasing access for individual investors. Private credit can offer higher yields than traditional fixed income but also comes with unique risks. Investment Strategy and Risk Alternative investments are growing in popularity, especially among individual investors. Risk and return must be evaluated together—volatility alone does not guarantee higher returns. Effective portfolio construction requires understanding how different asset classes interact. Investors should avoid diversifying blindly and instead understand the specific risks of each investment.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Alternative Investments 04:25 Understanding Private Equity 10:27 Types of Private Equity Investments 18:52 The Private Equity Life Cycle 26:36 Structure and Function of Private Equity Funds 28:08 Risks and Considerations in Private Equity 29:15 The Illusion of Valuations 31:43 Democratization of Investment Access 32:12 Understanding Private Credit 35:33 The Growth of Private Credit Markets 41:03 Integrating Private Credit into Portfolios 45:17 Volatility and Expected Returns   Links Curious about alternative investments but not sure where to start?

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Fiona Burlig, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago, about improving access to clean drinking water in India. In partnership with a private company that cleans drinking water and delivers water directly to households, Burlig recently conducted a field experiment to find out how different pricing strategies and subsidies influence people's willingness to pay for clean drinking water; she and her colleagues gauged the effectiveness of these strategies by monitoring health outcomes for households that had varying levels of access to clean water.
