If you're an owner who feels like your business owns you—and technology just makes it more overwhelming—this conversation will help you flip that script.

Join Brad Friedman and Steve & Melissa Fultz as they dig into how older business owners can use technology, AI, and systems to reclaim their time, protect their relationships, and design a business that can run without them.

Steve and Melissa Fultz are the husband-and-wife team behind The Fultz Group and Biz Growth Matters, where they help entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses accelerate growth through brand positioning, marketing strategy, and business coaching.

Melissa spent 20 years in corporate America working with large, publicly traded healthcare companies, helping health systems automate manual processes around patient and medication safety and leading complex change management across departments.

Steve grew up in his family's service and repair business, served for 25 years as an education and executive pastor, then returned to help run and grow three related businesses. Together they co-authored Family Business Facelift and Smart Exit Blueprint and now focus on helping older married owners embrace technology, document their systems, and become "obsolete by design" so the business can finally serve their life.

Are you worried one day your financial advisor will be an AI bot? This is not going to happen. But it will help them remember everything about you.

Join Brad Friedman and Bill Rice as they chat about the current state of FinTech and the future we can expect.

Bill is a veteran Air Force counterespionage officer who became marketing expert who's been in the lead gen game since before social media existed! As the creator of Kaleidico and Bill Rice Strategy Group, he's produced over 500,000 leads per year for clients, creating and exiting multiple successful companies along the way, while producing more than 9 figures for clients.

But Bill's not your average marketing specialist. His transition from developing information warfare centers in the Air Force to launching one of the first mortgage lead management systems gives him a distinctive perspective on consumer psychology and company scaling. Through economic downturns and the rise of AI, Bill has consistently stayed ahead of the curve, most recently selling his agency for a 7-figure exit. (here's something cool: Bill was also a member of the founding team of the first internet bank back in 2000 and scaled it to $1B in home equity loans, eventually exiting to a PE firm)

Today, he's on a journey to share his strategies for developing sustainable demand-generation programs that drive real outcomes. From producing content that performs to developing automated lead systems that grow, he brings actionable strategies that get results.

Do you wake up in the middle of the night, wondering if your business is in the #1 position in AI searches?

Join Brad Friedman and Andreas Voniatis as they discuss whether today's SEO playbook is becoming obsolete as people increasingly use AI to research their needs and solutions. They discuss using data science to decode what AI wants to uprank your business everywhere your customers are searching.

Andreas Voniatis is the founder of Artios, helping business leaders in ambitious B2B and technology companies achieve breakthrough website results. He's the author of Data-Driven SEO with Python and has been featured in Search Engine Watch. By combining advanced math, data science, and proprietary AI, Andreas says he delivers 3–5x more non-brand organic traffic and guarantees a 2x ROI—far beyond what traditional SEO and content marketing can provide.

His journey began when he began thinking that traditional SEO and content marketing were becoming guesswork. Rather than leave the field, he retrained in data science. That shift changed everything — like Neo seeing the Matrix. With Python and new mental models, he began approaching organic growth with scientific precision and scale.
