As a business leader, it’s really easy to get caught up in the financials.
When that happens, sometimes we can forget the main reason we went into business. What was the reason we started this venture in the first place? You begin to question everything, and that can be a dangerous slope. You’ve got to get a handle on why your business exists. Because when you lose focus on the why of your business, it’s tough to manage the what of...
When you consider manufacturing, some have robotic innovation, while others don’t.
When you think about industries like meatpacking, many of their teams work on the floor in relatively close quarters daily. Companies that have been around for years were designed for efficient throughput. It would be challenging to retrofit them for a circumstance like we’ve had this year.
How do companies deal with the unexpected?
Today, we’re sittin...
What is it like to work with companies larger than yourself?
It’s a dream for many entrepreneurs to partner with Target, Walmart, or H-E-B and have their products placed in these stores. Placing your products in physical big-box stores can help in several ways—you can create a seamless shopping experience for your customers, test new product lines, and even build or add prestige to your brand awareness.
Today, we’re chatting with Mo...
Are you tired? Is everything you’re dealing with making you feel a little worn out, fearful, or uncertain? What about your business? Do you need to restructure? What about financing and cash flow?
Yes, that’s a lot to worry about. While some of us would love nothing more than to curl up in a ball and let the world pass us by, you don’t have the luxury as a business owner. Your team is depending on you.
In today’s episode, I’m providi...

Today, we’re talking to organizational leadership expert Denise Cumberland, Ph.D. Dr. Denise Cumberland is an insight-driven marketer, focusing on consumers and how ...
Is being a perfectionist keeping you from getting anything done?
Today, we’re spending time with Kris Wittenberg, founder of Be Good to People, about the challenges of a perfectionist mindset. In 2008, an unkind encounter with a stranger while running errands inspired Kris to ask herself, "WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST BE GOOD TO PEOPLE?!" When she returned to her office, she decided to iron "Be Good to People." on a t-...
There is an invisible barrier that continues to prevent women from reaching the top positions. In some industries, men are viewed as default business leaders exacerbating the "think manager, think male" mindset. If women are trained and are as experienced as many male leaders, why are the numbers of women in the C-suite, on boards, and at the highest levels of government still frustratingly low?
Today we're chatting wit...
Which brands do you have a deep connection with?
Brands who are high-touch are the ones you automatically think of when you need what they offer.
The concept of being a high-touch brand is not a new one, but it is important to all brands. If you’re thinking about starting a business or have an existing business you’d like to grow, it’s important that you understand high-touch branding.
Today, we’ve brought back organizational leade...
Over the past several months, the ways brands engage with their customers have changed, and things that used to work no longer have the same impact.
When was the last time you considered your customers, not your products? Have you reached out to them lately?
If you haven’t reached out to them, have they missed you? Did they even notice that you were no longer in their lives?
Today, Ed is flying solo. He will go over how brands can b...
