Experience Leadership - The Small Business Podcast
Each week we bring you, the small business owner, independent operator and entrepreneur, contentto help you work ON your business, not just IN your business.

Most business owners don’t fail because they lack ideas. They fail because they underestimate what those ideas will cost—in money, time, energy, and focus.
Whether you’re launching a new product, rolling out a service, expanding your operation, or betting big on “the next thing,” one mistake shows up again and again: leaders start with excitement ...
Most business owners don’t have a time problem. They have a decision hoarding problem.

Your company may have a strong plan, a decent strategy, and a team that works hard every day.

For many small and mid-sized businesses, the problem is not the product. It is not the market. It is not even the effort.
In this episode of Marc Haine Live, Marc sits down with Nick Avaria, an agency growth and leadership scaling ...
Too many business operators and managers are trapped in a dangerous cycle of stress, overwork, reactive decision-making, and burnout.
They believe that success requires constant sacrifice. Longer hours. More pressure. Less sleep. Fewer boundaries. A calendar that looks like it lost a bar fight with a spreadsheet.
In this episode, Trevor G. Blake challenges the tr...
Business leaders everywhere are being told they need to “use AI” before they get left behind. Wonderful. Helpful. Not terrifying at all.
In this episode of Marc Haine Live, Marc sits down with Dr. Fern Halper, Founder of the AI Foundations Group, VP and Senior Research Director for TDWI, and author of Data Makes the World Go ’Round: The Data, ...

New managers don’t usually set out to become toxic. They don’t wake up, sip their coffee, and say, “Today, I shall destroy team morale before lunch.” But it happens.
In this episode of Experience Leadership, Marc sits down with Paul Leon, host of The Manager’s Mic Podcast, to explore the accidental habits that kill rapport between managers and their ...
Most organizations are sitting on a gold mine of untapped talent—and they don’t even know it.
Employees feel boxed in. Managers are overwhelmed. HR can’t possibly uncover every hidden skill, curiosity, or ambition inside the building. The result? Motivated people slowly disengage… not because they lack drive, but because they don’t see ...
Most organizations don’t have a retention problem… they have a misdirected growth problem.
In this episode of Marc Haine Live, we tackle one of the most misunderstood—and expensive—leadership challenges in business today: why the wrong people leave, and the wrong people stay.

Most leaders don’t have a hiring problem. They have a clarity problem.

Most businesses don’t fail overnight—they slowly drift into inconsistency, misalignment, and stalled growth.
In this episode of Marc Haine Live, Marc sits down with Scott Abbott, founder, CEO, executive coach, and 4X best-selling author, to unpack how leaders can build, run, and scale a great company—while still living a fulfilling life.

Most businesses don’t fail because they make one big mistake. They fail because they slowly drift.
One quarter looks okay. Then another. Then suddenly—growth stalls, momentum disappears, and nobody can quite explain why.
In this episode of Marc Haine Live, I sit down with Growth Advisor Kevin Lawrence to unpack why com...

And that misunderstanding is costing them thousands.
In this episode of Experience Leadership, Marc sits down with public relations expert Steve Turner to unpack the real role of PR—and why most companies get it completely wrong.
If you’ve ever invested in publicity, hired a PR firm, or tried to &ld...
Most leaders are stuck… not because they lack talent, but because they’re too busy managing today to design tomorrow.
They’re optimizing processes, tweaking systems, and sitting in back-to-back meetings—while the future of their business quietly drifts further out of reach.

Every business leader knows people eventually retire.
What most leaders don’t realize is that when someone walks out the door… they take decades of experience, relationships, judgment, and cultural memory with them.
And most organizations aren’t ready for that moment.
In this episode of Marc Haine Live, I sit down with Dr. Andi Sim...
Hybrid work was supposed to be the silver bullet. Instead, it turned into a rubber band—stretching teams thin, snapping collaboration, and leaving leaders holding the pieces. While organizations rushed into “flexibility,” they forgot to redesign the one thing holding their culture together: the office.

What happens when disaster strikes your business?
Flood. Cyberattack. System failure. Security threat.
Most organizations believe they’re prepared because they have a disaster plan. But when a real emergency happens, something unexpected occurs: people freeze.
This phenomenon—known as the bystander effect—can paralyze organiza...

Struggling to retain top talent?
In this episode of Marc Haine Live, Growth Leader Rick Denley reveals why courageous leadership is the missing piece in attracting, engaging, and retaining high-performing teams.
