In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Tiffany Alexander, Fund Manager and Owner of Aspen Sage Fund, about her 20-year journey from aspiring astronaut to successful real estate investor. Tiffany shares how she built a 30-person team, scaled to 17 rental doors, and transitioned into note investing to reclaim her time and boost returns. She explains how Aspen Sage Fund specializes in acquiring and restructuring distressed mortgage debt, helping families stay in their homes. Her story highlights the power of mindset, growth, and adapting to market shifts. This episode is packed with insights for anyone in real estate or looking to scale a small business. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Tiffany Alexander, the hardest part of growing a small business is facing moments of financial uncertainty—when you feel like you can't keep going and don't know where the next penny will come from. Especially in real estate, she highlights the challenge of being "property rich and cash poor," where assets are tied up but liquid funds are lacking. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Tiffany Alexander's favorite business book that has helped her the most is Multiply Your God-Given Potential by John Bevere. She appreciates how the book challenges business owners to go beyond personal success by using their talents to give back, grow further, and make a greater impact rather than settling after reaching initial goals. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Tiffany Alexander recommends the Lucky Titan podcast by Josh Tapp as a great resource. She values it for its strong focus on marketing, which she believes is essential for business growth. She also emphasizes the power of referrals and using a CRM to track them as key tools for small business success. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Tiffany Alexander recommends using a white-labeled version of Pantheon Connect, a tool that helps manage and leverage LinkedIn connections for referrals. She values it for enabling her to build trust, request introductions, and expand her network effectively—crucial for growing a small business through relationships. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Tiffany Alexander's advice to herself on day one of starting out in business would be: “Ask more people. Don't be afraid to ask a dumb question. Ask. Don't quit on asking.” She believes staying quiet slows down progress and that growth comes from seeking help and information early and often. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take your small business to new heights! Enjoyed the podcast?

ABOUT THE EPISODE:The worst day of Barbara's life came just before spring break of her son's 4th grade year, which he spent in a psychiatric ward. At age 12, he began using marijuana, and the familiar cycle of problems only continued from there – multiple schools, multiple treatment programs, sleepless nights, and ostracization from many of the parents she thought were friends.Barbara had zero experience with substance misuse or addiction, and like many parents, she was suddenly thrown into uncharted territory. The friends who stuck with her naturally talked about the positive life paths their kids were taking. Hearing about the colleges they'd been accepted to and the jobs they'd taken was difficult, and her son felt left behind by his peers as well. The constant stress eventually manifested in Barbara's body as an autoimmune disorder, complicating her life even more.Eventually, she came across a meditation I had recorded years earlier on Insight Timer, and from there, she discovered The Stream Community.

Send Me A Message!! Journey through the 35-year evolution of the O'Mahony Garden, a stunning landscape on the Cork-Limerick border that transforms an ordinary plot into five distinctive garden spaces, each with its own personality and purpose.Siobhan O'Mahony shares her gardening journey that began with essential shelter planting and gradually expanded into a thoughtfully designed landscape. The original garden focuses on low-maintenance shrubs and trees punctuated with seasonal bulbs, while the aptly named "kitchen garden" outside their kitchen door bursts with vibrant hot colours year-round. Perhaps most remarkable is the transformation of their sons' football pitch into borders with distinct colour themes – cool calming blues and pinks in one area contrasting with rich wine and magenta tones in another.The garden continues to evolve with newer areas including a practical raised bed vegetable garden featuring container-grown raspberries and a young woodland planted with 28 Himalayan birches (Betula jacquemontii) underplanted with specialist snowdrops and spring flowering bulbs. Adjacent to this, an annual wildflower meadow delivers spectacular summer colour without demanding maintenance.Siobhan's practical wisdom resonates throughout the conversation – from her colour-themed planting approaches to her strategic use of containers to maintain continuous displays near the house. Her advice for new gardeners is refreshingly realistic: focus on trees and shrubs for structure and lower maintenance, then concentrate colourful, higher-maintenance planting in smaller areas where it can be enjoyed daily.The garden welcomes visitors three times annually and hosts workshops on container gardening, vegetable growing and flower arranging. Whether you're starting your own garden journey or looking for inspiration to refine an existing space, this episode offers practical strategies for creating beautiful, manageable gardens that bring joy throughout the seasons.Visit O Mahony Garden information here:https://www.omahonygarden.comSupport the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again.

Send us a textThe unsung heroes of motorsports often operate just beyond the spotlight, their critical work making high-speed glory possible while ensuring competitors return safely. Monte Widdison stands as a perfect example – the tall, calm presence who's been the last person thousands of racers see before accelerating down Bonneville's Salt Flats.For over 30 years, Monte has served as head starter for the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association, developing an approach to safety that racers credit with saving their lives. When Bob Dalton survived a 400+ mph crash, his first words to Monty were, "You saved my life," crediting the meticulous way Monty had tightened his safety belts. Similar testimonials from other survivors highlight how essential this final safety check truly is.Beyond starting duties, Monte helped revolutionized course preparation techniques at Bonneville. He reveals the secrets of identifying the optimal salt surface (not bright white but a harder, grayish-opaque salt), creating perfectly straight courses using distant mountains as reference points, and preparing racers mentally for their runs. His insights into salt conditions and driving techniques provide rare, practical wisdom for anyone fascinated by land speed racing.The stories Monte shares – from Bobby Unser initially resisting safety checks until Monte discovered his unlatched shoulder strap, to calming nervous racers with breathing exercises, to his adventures with temperamental course-dragging vehicles – paint a vivid picture of Bonneville's unique culture and challenges. They reveal how seemingly small details and procedures become life-critical when vehicles are exceeding speeds of 200 MPH plus.Whether you're a land speed racing enthusiast, a motorsports fan, or simply curious about the extraordinary people behind extraordinary achievements, this conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of those who make record speeds possible – one safety check, one mile of perfectly prepared salt at a time.Support the show

Jeff Borello, CEO and co-founder of Andromeda Technology Solutions, shares insights into the managed services landscape, particularly focusing on the needs of manufacturing clients in the Midwest. With over 30 years of experience, Borello discusses the evolution of his company from a break-fix model to a pure managed services provider, emphasizing the importance of project delivery and cloud migration. He highlights the company's commitment to providing flat-rate monthly services while maintaining a strong professional services team to address complex technical needs.Borello notes that many potential clients often come to them already dissatisfied with their current managed service providers, primarily due to poor response times and unresolved issues. He explains that while customers may initially seek project work, the focus is on transitioning them to a managed service platform to better understand their needs. Cybersecurity is a significant concern, but many clients only prioritize it after experiencing an incident, leading to a challenging sales process that requires careful navigation.The conversation also touches on the internal operations of Andromeda, which has been recognized as one of the best places to work in Illinois. Borello discusses the importance of documenting processes and ensuring adherence to them, as well as the challenges of maintaining a strong company culture in a hybrid work environment. He emphasizes the need for a middle management layer to facilitate day-to-day operations, allowing leadership to focus on strategic growth.Looking ahead, Borello expresses a desire to streamline tools and integrate automation and AI into their operations while ensuring that customer service remains a priority. He acknowledges the potential disruptions that generative AI could bring to the industry and the need for a careful balance between efficiency and customer satisfaction. Ultimately, he remains optimistic about the future of Andromeda, driven by a strong team and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Greg and Edie describe their son's eight-year journey through heroin addiction which impacts the family in profound ways. They describe how it disrupted their lives and how they grappled with the difficult and scary decisions of how much to help. They share the tools they learned that gave them wisdom, health, and peace.    According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 40.3 million people in the United States had a substance abuse disorder in 2020. This means that at least two family members were impacted for a minimum of 80.6 million people whose lives were disrupted. It is more likely a minimum of four people making it a total of 161.2 million people who have been affected by a family member's drug use. Of those 40.3 million people with substance use disorder, only 6.5 percent received treatment.   Their son got clean after many rehabs and 127 changes in where he lived over eight years after finally hitting his bottom. If you have a loved one who is imprisoned by addiction, listen to this story. It will give you experience, strength, and hope for your journey. #addictionrecovery #boundaries #truthinlove #toxicrelationships   Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0ErlNczUBU0

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate and Curt Hanko have a fantastic time recapping the last 4 years of hunting for Curt. Curt didn't grow up in a hunting family and was actually introduced into hunting by his friend Austin. Nate and Curt end up diving into his bowhunting journey. Hearing about the personal growth as a hunter and the journey Curt took to get there is inspiring. Curt hasn't been afraid to put in the effort the last 2 years.  Throughout the last 2 years Curt really saw a change in his understanding of what he was seeing while scouting and hunting. He got more mobile and dedicated more time in listening to podcasts and absorbing content on social media. All these things were a desire because Curt wanted it. He wanted to find a bigger buck on public land in Michigan and wanted to become a better hunter and woodsmen. He took the approach of spending as much time as possible in the woods. Well this past fall all that stuff came to fruition after an eventful December day! Thank you for listening to the episode!
