In this week's episode I chat with Nick Haschka. Nick is the founder of Cub Investments and Co-Owner of The Wright Gardner. He wears many hats, but if you were to ask him what he does, he boils it down to two things: investor and CEO of a plant company. Nick's journey towards small business ownership was a winding road. After graduating from MIT, he went to work for McKinsey. After consulting, he found a passion in clean tech and clean energy with NRG Group, leading their high-tech ventures program. It was around this time Nick decided he wanted to own a small business. He stressed the importance of living a balanced life, and forming your business around the life you want to live. Not the other way around. Nick found The Wright Gardener after a month of searching. After becoming CEO he proceeded to do five bolt-on acquisitions to grow the company. Realizing his passion for investments and acquiring businesses, Nick set up Cub Investments. Cub Investments is a small private equity company whose goal is to buy small, local businesses and hold them forever. I really enjoyed my chat with Nick. His sense on balance between work and life was refreshing. And you can ALWAYS learn something from talking to an MIT grad. I know you'll learn a lot too.

Thinking about selling your agency -- someday? Is a merger or acquisition a good fit? Whether you are hoping to move on to a new adventure or stay on as an employee, it's always important to make sure your agency is in a position to maximize a merger or acquisition opportunity. In today's episode we'll cover: Why it's important to tell your agency's story. #1 Way to get multiple buyers when selling your agency. 2 Simple ways to know a merger is the right fit. Today I talked to Todd Taskey, the CEO of Potomac Business Capital. Todd's agency does a lot of merger and acquisition work, dealing with sellers to maximize their profits and find a good fit. He shares what agencies need to do to get buyers interested and how to get the best offers. Why It's Important to Tell Your Agency's Story When buyers are looking to acquire or merge with your agency, they want to know where your agency is heading. This is a good way for buyers to determine your agency's value. But the biggest mistake most agency owners make is not thinking about where they are going. The best way to increase your agency's value is to tell a story. What does this mean? How long have you had your clients? Buyers like to see longevity. If you have a bunch of new clients, a buyer will worry this revenue can easily slip away. How much do your clients like you? Yes, this is important. Likeability and trust go a long way. If your clients don't feel a sense of loyalty, they're going to use this transition as a good opportunity to jump ship. What is your recurring revenue? Those big projects are nice. But your potential acquirers want to see long term stability. Todd says he is able to get buyers to feel more comfortable with agencies that have long term retainer contracts. #1 Way to Get Multiple Buyers for Your Agency We all hope when we go to sell our agency there will be multiple buyers fighting over us. But many times you put feelers out there and then suddenly one of them sends you a letter of interest asking you to stop shopping your agency around. So how do you avoid this and get the best selling price? The simple answer is HARD WORK. Todd says he puts together a list of about 100 prospects and then goes and talks to each one. He then finds the three most serious buyers and works from there. When you find the right agency, it's all about negotiating. When a buyer thinks they are getting a great value they are more tolerant when bumps inevitability come up down the road. If you work the buyer in the beginning, it provides leverage when it comes to negotiating things like working power and non-solicitation agreements. 2 Simple Ways to Know a Merger is the Right Fit When you sell your agency, you want to know it's the right deal. Everyone's a Monday morning quarterback and will always find something they could have done better. So how do you prevent that? How can you feel comfortable with the choice you make? Todd says it comes down to a couple of things. Is it a lot of money? Funny but true, right? You don't want to walk away feeling like you got the short end of the stick. If a buyer is offering you a lot of money, it's hard to feel bad about that. Have a dollar amount in mind before you entertain any negotiations and don't settle for less (as long as you're realistic). Does the buyer share or complement your vision? If you plan on staying on with the agency, your vision is important. You need to make sure that you are comfortable with where the agency is heading. If you don't see that with the seller, it might not be a good fit. Selling your agency is a good way to make a change or take things to the next level. But you have to do it right. Take time to prepare your agency and don't settle until you find that right fit. Looking for a Payroll and HR Solution for your Agency? Payroll and benefits are hard.

Dave Jones is an electricity analyst leading the coal phase-out work for Sandbag - a London & Brussels-based non-profit climate change think tank.Dave spent 13 years working at E.ON analysing electricity & carbon markets. He is currently focused on an NGO campaign to help phase out coal in Europe.He recently published a report analysing the past 4 years of coal policy in the EU, what has been done well & what hasn't worked as well based on whether the policies were: Just, Ambitious, Legislated, Clean, Direct, Reliable, Economic, Healthy & Smart.I was extremely curious to chat with him, particularly because there are fascinating differences between the 2 leading economies in Europe - Germany & the UK. The former is famously ending Nuclear and has to compensate by (controversially) building new coal plants, while the latter has managed to nearly phase out coal entirely and is amongst the countries leading the charge.DAVE JONES & SANDBAG RELEVANT LINKSDave's Twitter Profile - https://twitter.com/CoalFreeDaveSandbag Website - https://sandbag.org.uk/TIMECODES00:51 Dave’s Background & his Experience in the Energy Business Sector05:37 Why It's Important to phase out coal in order to reduce warming By 210008:15 Are coal plants still being built worldwide?13:34 Staying in line with the Paris agreement16:32 Europe & Coal21:24 Coal plants being replaced by gas plants in the US23:46 When is Germany going to phase out coal?29:00 About the European Carbon Market38:36 Solutions for the Asian Coal IndustryLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEIPCC Report - https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/IEA Model - https://www.iea.org/reports/world-energy-modelReport: 4 Years of Coal Phase-out policies in the EU - https://sandbag.org.uk/project/solving-the-coal-puzzle/

Have you ever wondered how agency culture effects business growth? If you think they're two separate things, think again! Your culture speaks volumes about your agency. When your culture is a defining factor of your agency, you will experience amazing growth. Simply put, the foundation of every great brand is a great culture. So spend time developing an amazing culture and you will create brand ambassadors to move the needle on your agency's business. In this episode, we'll cover: How it's important to niche horizontally or vertically. How agency culture develops brand ambassadors. #1 way to cultivate amazing agency culture.   Today, I talked with Brandy Obvinseva the co-founder of Gallant Culture. Brandy has a degree in international studies and intended to be a political ambassador. Instead, she helps companies find their brand ambassadors. After a stint at Texaco and a few other oil & gas companies, she co-founded her agency, Gallant. Since then, her agency has changed a few times but it's always been driven by culture. She has unique views on niching and culture that have helped her agency explode. Why It's Important to Niche Horizontally or Vertically Selecting and marketing to a specific niche is a significant growth pillar for agencies. It gives you purpose, drive, and a defined process to use to score clients and drive profits. It just works. But what is a niche? Is it the industry you choose to work in? Is it the services you offer? Maybe. It can be. But, you don't have to niche vertically into an industry. You can niche horizontally based on a specific skill set or expertise in a specific technology. If your agency helps plumbers build websites. Then plumber websites is your vertical niche. If your agency helps anyone build a Joomla (software) websites using a specific set of processes, then Joomla websites is your horizontal niche. Ready to have your mind blow? You can really drill down and have BOTH a horizontal and vertical niche. Here's the secret — a niche is anything that helps you understand your clients better and motivates you to accomplish their goals effectively. Selecting a niche doesn't mean saying "no" to clients outside of your audience. It just means identifying with and understanding a specific audience, ultimately giving your agency an advantage over others. Want to figure out your niche? Try this! Write down three of your clients biggest challenges every day for 30 days. At the end, map out what their issues are. And, think about how you can pivot your agency to solve those problems. That's your niche! You could even have multiple niches but focus on building one niche at a time. How Agency Culture Develops Brand Ambassadors As Brandy says, "If you want to have a group of people that are going to wave your flag, they need to know what flag they're waiving." Your culture is the unspoken rules of your agency. It impacts how your employees pitch to clients, communicate with them, and (most importantly) converts them. Always lead with culture, hire with culture, and even choose clients who are a good culture fit. But, here's where it gets interesting... Brandy says you don't have to specifically "define culture." It's naturally going to be interpreted uniquely by each team member. One of your employees may be perky and bubbly, while another may be methodical and quiet. That's fine! There's room both within the same agency culture. For example, if one of your core values is honesty, both can find ways to allow honesty to shine through in their work. The important thing is that your culture drives them. They should be your brand ambassadors. To that end, they need to understand your culture and live it. So, if you're still trying to find your niche, start with your culture. What kinds of clients fit your agency's culture? Which of your team members and clients can be your agency's brand ambassadors? #1 Way to Cultivate Amazing Agency Culture How do you nurture and grow your culture? By being adaptable. Your agency culture will evolve and change over time. As your team gets bigger and new employees enter the scene things will change. The rules of your business will change too, and you'll probably pivot a couple of times along the way. That's normal and completely natural as part of the growth process. But, you have to be willing to constantly develop and improve upon your culture as the agency environment changes. Let your team members, clients, and industry guide you. In the beginning, a minimalist culture which promotes enthusiasm and hustling may work out great. But, 5 years down the road could be another story. You will have new clients and employees who are going in another direction. The culture of today will not match the culture of the future ~ adaptability is a must.

How can we help children towards building a positive self-identity? An "I Can!" attitude? This week Abigail shares the life-changing moment she cracked her tens times tables at 8-years-old, and how this win led to a paradigm shift in mindset - between what she thought she could do and what she could actually do. A sense of accomplishment and winning can spur a sense of interest, self-directed learning and discovery, but how can we work with a child to help them win at challenging tasks, even when we do not feel good or confident about the task? And how can that support change in our children's outlook and influence how they view their abilities for the rest of their lives? One Tool You Can Use To Build Resilience and Confidence In an age of entitlement, we're talking about why it is still important to cultivate a growth mindset - a mindset that allows us to celebrate our wins, our children's wins and makes space for winning - and losing. How Can We Foster Growth Mindset with our Kids? Now, what if your child is not yet attuned to his or her own greatness, even if you are? On the episode, we also examine the ways kids can fight their own abilities, why things feel hard for them and one tool you have to help your child shine.

Are you sick and tired of feeling overworked, overstressed, and like you have no free time? Do you constantly find yourself overcommitted and juggling how to fit just one more thing into your calendar? We are tired of this too! That's why we are talking about how you can say no (even to family and friends) and why it's important in this week's episode of the podcast. It can be so hard to say no. You may find yourself feeling guilty, especially if you say no to friends and family, or if you say no to taking on more work and earning more money. But saying no can become easier over time and it's actually very important to learn to say no. Read on to find out the do's and don'ts of saying no and why it's an important word to have in your vocabulary. Do Take Time to Think it Over One of the biggest reasons people say "yes" to things they don't really want to do is because they feel pressured to answer right away. This is especially true if you are asked in-person, but it's become even more common via other forms of communication as well. With the constant connection people have to email, text, and social media these days, we've become accustomed to getting an answer right away. This is the biggest reason you'll end up doing things you aren't passionate about or don't value - because you felt compelled to answer right away. When you feel that pressure, you often don't have time to clearly think over your decision to decide if you really want to say yes or no to a request. So, next time you are asked a "favor" or a request is made of you, take the time to think it over. You can still let people know you received their message with a simple, "Let me think about it!" answer. Don't Drag it Out While taking time to think it over before answering is a great way to avoid yessing yourself into an overbooked schedule, you shouldn't drag it out. Take the time you need to think about a request, but don't avoid answering altogether. You can't simply ignore a person or their request, because they probably won't forget about it. Then when they ask again, you'll feel guilty and may end up saying yes even though you'd already decided you should say no. Don't Over (or Under) Explain When you do decide to say no, be careful about tacking on too long of an explanation. You may feel like you need to a valid reason (or 10) as to why you are saying no. But the truth is, you don't need to do this! Giving several reasons why you have to say no to someone won't make you feel any less guilty. Instead, just offer a simple explanation that we've found to work most of the time: "No, I can't help with XYZ, because I wouldn't be able to give it my full attention right now." Leave it at that. There's no reason to over apologize or over explain why you are saying no. Do Offer an Alternative One way to still be helpful to the asker is to offer an alternative when you say no. For example, offer to help at a different time when it's more convenient for you, or offer to point them in a direction to someone else who might be able to help them instead. If it's someone asking for your help for a charitable organization, perhaps you could offer a monetary contribution instead of donating your time. Offering an alternative isn't something you must do every time you say no. When you offer an alternative, make sure it's something that's easier or less complicated for you. Don't Feel Guilty This may be the hardest tip, but when you say no, don't feel guilty! Remember, why it's important to say no from time to time and there's absolutely no reason why you should feel guilty. Why It's Important to Say No There are several reasons why it's important to say no. One reason is because saying yes to every opportunity that comes your way means you can't dedicate your entire focus on doing the best job possible for everything you've said yes to. You won't be able to provide your 100% focus to anything if you don't say no to some things. Another reason to say no is because you have to put yourself first. If you are constantly saying yes to everything and everyone else, you'll lose sight of your values and priorities. When that happens, you might realize one day that you are on a completely different life path than you set out to achieve. It'll take a lot of work to get back to your original path, so it's easier to just say no to the things that won't help you get there in the first place. Finally, saying no isn't a bad thing. In fact, saying no could be a good thing. When you say no to doing things you don't want to do, you are able to yes to so many other things like: Taking care of yourself Having a day off Spending time with family and friends Relaxing and recharging to the best you can be For more tips on how to say no and why it's important, listen to our podcast episode.

Have you found your purpose in life? It can be difficult to figure out what your path is, but once you do, it can help you feel so much more fulfilled. The truth is, none of the three of us have all the answers. We're still working on using our gifts and figuring out our purposes too. Plus, your purpose might change over time, making it even more difficult to pursue. This week on the podcast, we're discussing things we are doing to try and figure out our purpose and what we think it might be at this point in our lives. How to Find Your Purpose Since we're all still in our 20's, we're still working on finding our purposes and the best ways to use our gifts. But, what we've discovered so far is that finding your true purpose takes time and quite a bit of self-reflection. There are several things that go into it, a few of which we've already discussed this season and last season, such as: Knowing your values Living authentically Ignoring those around you Practicing gratitude Cultivating an abundance mindset It's not as if you'll wake up one day and be able to exclaim, "This is my purpose!". Plus, you may even find that what you once thought was your path in life is no longer fulfilling to you. Thus, your path and purpose may change over time. It's pretty rare that people discover their path in life at a young age, and sadly, some people never discover their purpose. Even after "growing up" and entering into the "real world" after college, many young adults still don't know how to use their gifts or what their purpose is in life. This could be part of the reason why so many young adults change jobs and move locations several times in pursuit of happiness and finding their life's purpose. Of course we all want our live to have meaning and provide value for the other humans on the planet, but sometimes finding your purpose isn't as cut-and-dried as all that. Sometimes "finding your purpose" may mean nothing other than finding a job you mostly enjoy and don't suck at. #thetruthhurts But that doesn't mean you should stop looking for ways to use your talents and gifts. Why It's Important to Find Your Purpose We know it sounds cliche, but finding your purpose is important for so many reasons. It can help you live a fulfilling life free of the pressures of society and keeping up with others. It can lead to greater happiness for you and those around you. And, finding your purpose can help you attract work and other opportunities that don't make you feel suffocated. In this episode we discuss: 1:45 - What are your thoughts on your purpose? How can you use your gifts to find your path? 4:45 - The "quarter life crisis" 10:00 - Trying new creative outlets to find your life's path 11:30 - What has helped you find your purpose so far? 22:00 - Chonce's story of helping people 29:15 - Asking people to weigh in on your gifts and talents 30:15 - Your career doesn't have to be the way you use your gifts Related Links to Check Out: How to Let Go of What You Don't Want to Create More Space What it Means to Live Authentically The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho You can also listen to the audio book for FREE with a 30 day trial of Audible.com!
