New CEOs: An Interview with Ken Paskins

Sustainable Business Ideas: An Interview with Bradley Koch

Steady Business Growth/Sustainable Business Ideas Many entrepreneurs, myself included, have fallen for the "grow your business fast" sales pitch. Some people have the personality for following that model. But for those with a full life, kids,families, and other commitments, trying to move at a lightning speed often fails to deliver the fast growth. It often leads you to stumble, setting you back. Our guest has been called both the "bad boy of coaching" and the "Business Doctor". His background has allowed him to build a coaching system that can help virtually any type of business. He uses the principle of compounding incremental changes and believes slow and steady wins.. With his over 32 year career in business, time in the Marine Corps, and business school education, Bradley Koch has been able to help other people get their business going the right way by growing their business the smart way. He shows small business owners how to regain control over time and money. At the end of the day, Bradley believes for your business to work, it must work for you.

New CEOs: An Interview with Ken Paskins

Rapid Success for New CEOs/New CEOs In today's highly competitive business landscape, being a CEO or business owner comes with numerous challenges. This is especially true for those who are new to the position, with less than a decade of experience. Despite the daunting nature of this journey, it is crucial for these individuals to equip themselves with essential strategies and skills that can drive them towards success. The advancement of technology, ever-changing market dynamics, and evolving customer expectations require CEOs and owners to remain agile and adaptable. The initial years of their leadership play a critical role in establishing a strong foundation and making strategic decisions that lay the groundwork for sustainable growth. To succeed in this fiercely competitive environment, CEOs and owners with less than 10 years of experience must possess specific qualities and adopt proven strategies. Our guest in this episode knows this all too well, having amassed 30 years of distinguished professional experience. Ken Paskins spent two decades managing substantial P&Ls for Fortune 100 tech companies and helming teams of 450+ across North America. Over the course of 3 decades, Ken has utilized his skills and experiences and is known as a "hired gun" or fractional COO, helping companies from pre-revenue to $50M.

Age with Grace: An Interview with Carrie E. Pierce

Aging Gracefully After 50/Age with Grace Despite facing discrimination and negative stereotypes, women who surpass the age of 50 are experiencing a profound shift in perspective and newfound freedom. Research indicates that employers often undervalue and discriminate against older women, while Hollywood perpetuates unflattering portrayals that contribute to a sense of invisibility. However, as women transition from their 40s, a remarkable transformation occurs. We begin to embrace an empowering energy that allows us to ask themselves, "What do I want now?" Without succumbing to societal expectations or feeling selfish, women over 50 are breaking free from limitations and embracing their independence. Our guest in this episode Carrie E. Pierce has written professionally for over twenty years, building a solid international reputation. During that time, Carrie discovered there was a real need for wholesome, quality children's literature that could also be enjoyed by parents and grandparents as they read aloud. She understood the concern parents and grandparents felt as they struggled to find children's stories they could trust and feel good about sharing with the young ones in their lives. Because of that realization, Carrie understands how important it is to keep storytime safe. Eager to fill this niche, she began prayerfully crafting quality stories from the heart that contain important life lessons; written in a style that doesn't talk 'down' to children. Carrie's stories always contain age-appropriate themes - free of agendas and teach wholesome, important life lessons. Having experienced heartbreak and tragedy firsthand and seeing many of her dreams come true, Carrie speaks with a rich insight into the human heart and an honest voice holding nothing back.

Business Operations Solutions: An Interview with Stewart Ervin

Business Operations Solutions/Business Operations Solutions Often the founder of a business is the visionary, the idea person. Taking an idea and turning it into a business is critical for any enterprise to get off the ground. But the business needs to run efficiently and effectively. Often, it is in the operations area where the visionary founder flounders. Our guest has an operator's mindset. He doesn't pitch theory. He builds systems. His 3-phase model blends financial clarity, operational rhythm, and strategic execution — turning businesses into performance machines that are truly Built to Run. At the core of Stewart's approach is a belief that value creation only comes from three places: pricing strategy, cost control, and new business growth. But before any of that matters, you need a business that actually runs. That's where his 6 core plays come in — a step-by-step system to get the team aligned, the numbers tight, and the operations dialed in. Stewart Ervin, founder of Bracket Management and creator of the Built to Run: The $100M System™ — a no-fluff, execution-first operating system for real businesses that are stuck, scaling, or preparing for exit. With over 25 years of experience in finance, operations, and manufacturing leadership, Stewart has helped companies break through profit ceilings, eliminate chaos, and drive results — not just reports. His clients, typically owner-led businesses between $1M and $100M, see an average 36.7% increase in revenue and a 27.9% increase in net profit. Stewart brings practical advice and a powerful structure for those wanting to execute sanely.
