  • Systems + Social Proof = Scalability

    Systems + Social Proof = Scalability
    Jan 1 2026
    Ep. 11 Your small business can’t grow into an enterprise if you're personally involved in every decision, every sale, and every delivery. Our expert guest Ryan Wimpey demonstrates why documented SOPs and training systems for people — not just services — are the foundation of sustainable growth. Real scale requires teaching others to deliver value consistently. Ryan is the founder of Tip Top K-9, built a national franchise by obsessing over systems, documentation, and training. Despite running a national franchise with 25 locations and proven revenue, Ryan lost a prospective franchisee to a competitor with fewer systems and a popular YouTube channel. Ryan breaks down how that realization pushed him to invest heavily in YouTube — growing from 5,000 to over 600,000 subscribers in under a year — while continuing to strengthen the backend systems that allow his business to expand from Omaha to Michigan. This episode is a powerful reminder that real growth in 2026 requires both visibility and infrastructure. You need SOPs that train people and a content strategy that builds trust with potential clients.

    Bank on It: How M&T Bank Fuels Business Growth + Protects Your Cash Flow
    Aug 14 2025
    Ep. 9 If your bank only knows you as an account number, you’re running your business with one hand tied behind your back. Your banker should be doing more than holding your money — they should be helping you lower fees, protect your cash flow, and connect you to resources that move your business forward. In this episode of Elevating Enterprise, Jazzy T + RJ sit down with Melissa Jordan, Senior Business Banking Relationship Manager at M&T Bank, to reveal why small business owners need more than just a place to deposit checks. From building your “B.A.I.L.” team to automating payments and planning for growth, Melissa shares insider strategies to help you stop leaving money on the table and start scaling smarter. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners 1️⃣ Your banker should be a partner — a single point of contact who understands your business, connects you to specialists, and streamlines your financial systems.2️⃣ Ditch unnecessary fees — banks can offer merchant services that rival or replace QuickBooks, saving you money and time.3️⃣ Automate your cash flow — use banking tools for payments, receivables, and vendor management to create efficiency and improve client experience.4️⃣ Build your B.A.I.L. team — banker, accountant, insurance rep, and lawyer working together to guide your growth.5️⃣ Stay fraud-ready — with the right relationship, your banker will proactively educate and protect you against evolving threats.
