  • Escaping the Growth Trap - with Michael Walsh
    Jul 2 2025

    What if working harder is exactly why your business feels stuck?

    This week, I’m sitting down with Michael Walsh — a 30-year veteran who’s helped hundreds of founders scale service businesses past the invisible walls that trap 98% of owners below $5 million… and keep 99% from ever reaching $10–20 million.

    He calls them danger zones — predictable trapdoors that snare even the smartest owners.

    If you’ve ever wondered why more sales doesn’t fix your profit problem… why great people leave… or why your “well-oiled machine” feels more like a mess of people problems — this is for you.

    Inside this episode, you’ll learn exactly why traditional management and “systems thinking” break down — and how to design an intelligent ecosystem instead.

    KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS

    The 96% Trap:
    Why 96% of businesses stall at $1M–$5M — and how to break through with a simple shift in how you see your people, not just your systems.

    The Hidden “Danger Zones”:
    How to recognize — and navigate — the invisible walls at $2M, $5M, $10M, and beyond… before they kill your momentum.

    The Well-Oiled Machine Lie:
    Why treating your company like a “machine” turns your people into cogs (and why it backfires).

    Build an Intelligent Ecosystem:
    How to create a culture where your best people stay, grow, and solve problems faster than you ever could alone.

    Freedom by Design:
    Michael’s Freedom Framework for service businesses — the same approach that helped founders triple revenue, exit for millions, and actually enjoy running their business again.

    The First Step to Escape Burnout:
    How to know if you’re in a danger zone right now — and the exact first step to get unstuck.

  • More Money, Fewer People – with Ai (Part 1)
    Jun 11 2025

    What if you could 10x your business output, without hiring a single new team member?

    In this special episode, I’m sharing a talk I did for the “Your Best Live” community in Las Vegas last month.

    You’ll hear me break down exactly how to make more money, with fewer people – using the most powerful Ai tools available right now.

    I walk through the real tools, workflows, prompts, and systems I’m using to build brands, automate sales, and compress time for my clients (and my own companies) – without needing a team of 20 to pull it off.

    Whether you're a founder, operator, consultant, or investor, this episode will open your eyes to what's possible when you treat Ai not as a toy—but as a full-time team member.


    KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS

    • The "More Money, Fewer People" Framework
      Discover how to 10X productivity and output while cutting costs, complexity, and headcount.

    • Ai Tools I Actually Use Every Day
      Get the exact stack of apps and systems I rely on to write, research, build presentations, automate email, close sales—and run a full business as a one-person marketing team.

    • Agentic AI: The Next Evolution
      Learn how multi-agent workflows are changing the game and allowing entrepreneurs to "run ops" without operations people.

    • Real Business Examples
      Hear how I used AI to help clients like Nathaniel Ely launch a $1B tax-saving offer, or how I spun up full campaigns, books, funnels, and brand systems in days—not weeks or months.

    • The Death of the Traditional Team
      Why bloated teams are a liability in the AI age—and what lean, agile operators are doing differently to win big.

    • Compression = Acceleration
      My system for compressing 6 months of work into a weekend—and how you can apply it, even if you’re not “technical.”
