In this podcast episode, your host, Winter Baserva, interviews the President and CEO of Lockers Unlimited, John McLaughlin. John's journey began in the most humble of settings – his family's dining room. Fresh out of college, he was skeptical about joining his father's fledgling business. With the high failure rate of small businesses looming over his head, John agreed to a two-year stint to learn from his father before seeking "safer" employment. Little did he know, this decision would set the stage for a life-altering career path.
Lockers Unlimited found its niche in metal lockers – a product that has seen little innovation over the past century. John highlighted the value in providing assembly services for these lockers, a tedious task that many would rather avoid. This focus on solving a specific problem became the cornerstone of their success.

In this podcast episode, host Winter Baserva interviews the Co-Founder and CMO of Peel, Ben Hindman. One of the key takeaways from the conversation with Ben was the significance of fun in the workplace. Ben's approach to work is refreshingly simple yet profound: if he's having fun, he's on the right track. This philosophy serves as a barometer for his professional activities. When the fun seeps away, it's a clear indicator that it's time to delegate or discontinue the task at hand.
Ben likens himself to a "heat-seeking missile," gravitating towards tasks that energize and excite him. He takes on these tasks personally, knowing that his passion will lead to excellence. On the flip side, when a task doesn't bring him joy, he finds someone else who can take it on, even if it comes at a higher cost. This approach isn't just about personal satisfaction; it's a strategic move to optimize his time and focus on what he does best.

Amber revealed that she lived in India for five years and is passionate about fitness and mindset training. As a behavior analyst, Amber incorporates the science of behavior into her work. She believes in the power of training the mind and visualizing the person one wants to become. Amber's unique perspective as a consumer first, having a child on the autism spectrum, and working in various roles within the ABA field, allows her to ask the right questions and build the best company based on her journey.
When asked about the resources Amber wished she had when starting her company, she mentioned the ongoing challenge of ensuring that she has the right people in the right positions within her company. She admitted that in the past, she made the mistake of believing people based solely on what they say about their skills and abilities.
Amber emphasized the importance of looking beyond resumes and focusing on the true skills and qualities that her employees possess. She shared an example of hiring a billing manager who didn't have prior experience in that specific role but had the determination, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail necessary to excel in the position.
Amber discussed the importance of building a supportive culture within her company. TriangleABA organizes bi-monthly activities for its employees, allowing them to bond and support each other.

In this podcast episode, host Winter Baserva interviews Leigh Feldman, the CEO of Bishop's Cuts in Color. Bishop's Cuts in Color is a franchise organization that helps owners bring the Bishop's brand to their markets. Founded in 2001, the company's mission is to provide salon-level services at appropriate pricing, creating a safe and welcoming space for all types of people. What sets them apart is their gender-neutral pricing, a unique approach in the industry.
As someone who has grown within the company, Leigh has faced his fair share of challenges. One of the most surprising aspects for him was the different interpretations and perspectives among owners, managers, and employees. He emphasized the importance of understanding each situation and working together to find solutions.
Leigh shared how Bishop's Cuts in Color has taken steps to be a supportive and non-predatory franchise system. They have implemented a bucketed royalty system, where stores that require less support from the company pay lower royalties. This approach aligns with the owners' perspective that if they are running a well-oiled machine, they shouldn't have to pay the full amount.
The company has also repositioned its contracts to align with lease agreements, allowing franchisees to exit the system or make changes at the end of the term. However, 75% of their franchisees have chosen to renew their agreements due to the support provided by the company.

Your host, Winter Baserva, talks with the CEO of FranShares, Kenny Rose.

Your host, Winter Baserva, talks with the Founder of Patrick Burns Co., Patrick Burns. Patrick's journey began in a small rural community in Indiana where he attended Indiana University. After college, Patrick moved to Austin, where he established his company. Recently, Patrick's company underwent a rebranding process. He emphasized the importance of polishing the brand to differentiate and attract mid-market to enterprise clients. This process is crucial in today's competitive business landscape, where a strong, unique brand can be the difference between blending in and standing out.

His background in technology, combined with his commitment to value creation, has allowed him to maximize the impact of his digital marketing efforts.
Patrick revealed that he has ten employees, all of whom work remotely.

Your host, Winter Baserva, talks with the President and Founder of Excelsior Capital, Brian Adams. Brian is not just a name in the commercial real estate industry; he is a force to be reckoned with. He founded Excelsior Capital with a vision to connect high-net-worth individuals and families with lucrative commercial real estate investment opportunities. His focus on commercial real estate was driven by its scalability and the opportunity to provide a different investment option in a less crowded market.
Brian's journey to founding Excelsior Capital is an interesting one. As a recovering attorney, he was motivated to escape the negative aspects of the legal profession. The potential tax advantages and value creation opportunities in real estate inspired him to leap into this industry.
Brian described their target audience as professionals. He also shared the challenges faced by CEOs and entrepreneurs in running their businesses. Many CEOs start with a good idea or skill but struggle with wearing multiple hats and lacking experience in leadership, payroll management, and invoicing. This often leads to feeling overwhelmed and being the biggest employee in their own company. Brian emphasized the importance of transitioning from working in the business to working on the business to scale and succeed.

Your host, Winter Baserva, talks with the Founder and CEO of ExecThread, Joe Meyer. Joe's journey to creating ExecThread was born out of his own experiences as an executive. He was often approached by recruiters for roles he wasn't interested in, while the ones he would have loved to pursue remained hidden. This sparked the idea for ExecThread, a platform designed to unveil these hidden job market opportunities on a larger scale.
Joe clarified that ExecThread isn't limited to full-time jobs and board opportunities. The platform also features contractor, interim, and advisory roles. However, the majority of the roles are full-time operating positions.
When asked about the rapid growth of ExecThread, Joe was quick to point out that it wasn't an overnight success. The initial growth was fueled by organic referrals and crowdsourced job opportunities. Over time, they began to proactively market their service, attracting more jobs and members.
Joe explained that ExecThread has a clear and focused value proposition. They aim to drive member growth, increase awareness, and convert free members into paying subscribers. They offer a free service to attract as many users as possible before asking them to pay for additional value-added components.

Your host, Winter Baserva, talks with the Co-founder and CTO of Yembo, Zach Rattner. Zach's journey as an entrepreneur began unexpectedly; while purchasing a house, his real estate agent, who had recently ventured into the moving business, shared the operational challenges he was facing. This conversation sparked an idea in Zach's mind. He realized that many companies in the home service industry were grappling with similar issues - relying on manual processes like physical site visits and note-taking, which were not only time-consuming but also prone to errors.
Zach and his team wanted to see if people would be willing to download an app and record videos of their homes for accurate quotes. They partnered with a local moving company and provided them with software to try this approach. The results were overwhelmingly positive. People found it convenient, and the quotes became more accurate. This success gave them the confidence to further develop their product and incorporate AI to streamline the workflow.
Zach emphasized the importance of hiring the right people and delegating tasks as a business owner. He shared his experience of building remote teams in different time zones to ensure 24-hour progress and prevent burnout. This approach requires effective communication, documentation, and consideration of how different team members interact with each other.

Yall…….I am NOT one to post on a Sunday, but this one just couldn’t WAIT for the work week! Jesse Frye knocked this week’s leadership event out of the park!!!! If you own a company, you do NOT want to miss event on how to clone yourself so you’re not doing it alone.

This episode discusses why having a Linked In Profile as a CEO is Important for Branding and your Customers. It's a common thread with business owners, that you as a person don't need a linked in profile, but as Naomi says "𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙𝙄𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙. In an era of information overload our human brains are programmed to stereotype and pigeonhole people in a matter of seconds, so if you want to make a lasting impression, having an engaging LinkedIn profile that speaks directly to your audience is imperative." Today's episode shows you how.

About The Speaker Naomi Johnson:
During the last 8 years, I’ve written hundreds of LinkedIn profiles for Solo-Entrepreneurs, Thought-Leaders, Sales Teams, Small Businesses and CEOs.

In fact, they are missing vital business components that, if put in place, would dramatically change their results. This is exactly what I do.
