    #850 The Final Radio Show: What has Changed In 17 Years of Small Business
    Sep 28 2025
    This is the final show.

    It is the last show after 17 years of the Small Business Radio Show. Over this period of time, I've done over 2500 interviews across so many different radio stations and podcast platforms. I know that after all this time, people are going to ask me, who was your favorite interview? And I have to be honest, there really wasn't one. I listed every single year what some of my favorite interviews were for that year, but my favorite ones always were the small business owners. The ones that shared a real, true piece of themselves that talked to the legitimately about their experience and just wasn't here to sell a concept. The ones that lived it.

    We end this radio show series like we began it 17 years ago with Scott Jordan of Scottevest.

    For over 20 years, Scottevest has designed great looking clothing with tons of innovative pockets and unique features. We have followed his incredible journey and now he reflects on his life as an entrepreneur and small business owner.

  • #849 How to Turn Your Fear into a Trusted Guide

    #849 How to Turn Your Fear into a Trusted Guide
    Sep 21 2025
    Segment 1 with Avi Pinksy

    With the economy uncertainty, now is the time diagnose profit leaks before they spread

    Avi Pinsky Known as the Business Finance Doctor, provides small business owners with a practical framework they can utilize month after month, without needing to become accountants. After more than a decade in public accounting, Avi realized that most owners don’t need another CFO-style lecture. What they need is a simple diagnostic, a visual scoreboard that highlights only the three numbers that matter, and a short monthly action plan that turns numbers into behavior.

    Segment 2 with Guryan Tighe

    Fear is a part of every small business success story- how we deal with fear defines us- I have always been against the idea of that we should have no fear or no be afraid- my mantra has always been – its okay to be afraid but move forward anyways.

    Guryan Tighe is an experienced leadership coach, workshop facilitator, and communications strategist whose clients describe her as a “Fear Technician.” She is the founder of Fourage, built on the belief that understanding and working with our fears, rather than trying to conquer them, yields more professional success and personal fulfillment.

    She is also the author of "Unmasking Fear: How Fears Are Our Gateways to Freedom".

  • #845 Can Humor Be the Secret Ingredient to Effective Leadership?

    #845 Can Humor Be the Secret Ingredient to Effective Leadership?
    Aug 23 2025
    If you have listened to me for any period of time, you know I like to laugh- because if you don’t laugh in this world- you will only end up crying. In my mind, laughter is really the best medicine for almost anything. But can laughter help you be a better leader?

    My guest is Adam Christing is an American comedian, author, and motivational speaker from La Mirada, California. He is the founder and president of Clean Comedians, an organization composed of comedians, speakers, and entertainers who refrain from using objectionable material and profanity during their performances. He was voted as the best emcee by Best if LA and speaks at more than 100 events a year.

    His new book is called "The Laughter Factor: The 5 Humor Tactics to Link, Lift and Lead.

    “Humor is the shortcut to trust", says Christing. “Laughter skips the formalities and says, ‘I see you. I get you. I like you.’ It’s not just a nice-to-have—it’s the missing link for leaders, teams, and relationships of all kinds.”

  • #843 Slingshot Your Career: How to Propel Forward by Pulling Back

    #843 Slingshot Your Career: How to Propel Forward by Pulling Back
    Aug 9 2025
    One of the things I am most proud of is the way in business I have had to reinvent my self over the past 45 years of my career. I think this is a skill that serves entrepreneurs well.

    Carmen Van Kerckhove is an author and keynote speaker whose work explores how technology, social class, and cultural change are reshaping the way we live and work. Her upcoming book, "The Slingshot Effect", makes the case that pulling back—professionally, financially, creatively—isn’t failure, but often the smartest way to move forward. Carmen’s career is built on bold reinvention and small business roots.

    After starting at Goldman Sachs, she took a surprising step back—becoming an office manager—to create space for her first major pivot into writing. Her blog on race and pop culture, Racialicious, gained national attention and made her a sought-after speaker. From there, she co-founded a karate school in Brooklyn, then launched a family travel brand that grew into a multiple six-figure content business with over a million followers and major brand partnerships.
