We catch up about all of his latest endeavors and successes. Casey and I recorded in the very accommodating William Hill Sports Book.

Employees and Change: Building a recipe for success One thing that I have dealt with time and time again in my lifelong career of growing up in a family business is getting employees and change to be on the same page. The longer the team members have been with the organization the harder it can be to break old habits. The longer the process to switch over between systems or processes the more complicated and cumbersome the current process becomes. This can and will lead to more mistakes and more...

This episode is a friendly reminder that you constantly need to be on the lookout for opportunities to evolve your business. Look for new trends, new regulations, etc to bring your business to the forefront of people's minds in new ways. Sitting still for too long without making a bet and investing in the future will likely wipe away your current business model. Time and time again I have seen so many businesses be wiped away by staying on their current course. Evolve your business if you don't ...

About five days before my birthday (September 15th for people keeping track) I got a message from a previous guest and friend Casey Hoban.

My mom and stepdad joined us so that Melissa had extra help for when I would inevitably start talking to people and networking. We promised our oldest (Ava, 2.5 years old) that if she was good w...

Are you feeling like it is time to upgrade to a new computer system?

I went through a pretty thorough inspection process of the current process the business uses to move customers through their system. Starting with paper tickets and ending with their text-based terminal window computer system that has been the same system used since the 80's when...

Here are three small changes for big results in business! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_ycQ42e8FQ It is crucial to not lose sight of how small changes can quickly add up to big results in your business.

A fraction of a penny may not sound like much, but when you add up how many fractions of pennies you will save over the course of a year, you got something big on your hands. I know that ...
