    Episode 1262: The Leadership Upgrade Your Nervous System Needs with Owen Marcus

    High performers are taught to push harder, but what if the real breakthrough comes from learning to regulate, recover, and reconnect?   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Owen Marcus, Founder and CEO of MELD (Men’s Emotional Leadership Development) and author of Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Emotional Maturity. Owen unpacks why high-performing entrepreneurs often hit an invisible ceiling despite doing “everything right.” Drawing on five decades of experience working with leaders, athletes, and elite performers, Owen explains how chronic stress, emotional disconnection, and nervous system overload quietly erode performance, relationships, and fulfillment. This conversation bridges neuroscience, leadership, and personal growth to reveal how building resilience from the body up unlocks the final 30% of untapped potential.   Key Takeaways: → Entrepreneurs are often wired for survival, not fulfillment, which leads to chronic overdrive. → Long-term stress creates allostatic load, silently shrinking resilience and emotional capacity. → High performance at work does not automatically translate into a healthy connection at home. → Neuroplasticity allows leaders to rewire stress patterns and build new capacity over time. → Somatic mindfulness helps retrain the nervous system by increasing body awareness.   Owen Marcus is the Founder and CEO of MELD (Men’s Emotional Leadership Development), demonstrating the transformative potential of evidence-based peer support. A pioneer in men’s emotional health, his retreats, workshops, coaching, training, and other programs enhance relational dynamics and support men’s personal and professional growth and leadership development. For nearly three decades, MELD has been a trusted guide for men navigating the complex terrain of modern life: stress, relationships, leadership, and identity. Marcus is also the author of Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Emotional Maturity. In it, Marcus leads readers on an enlightening path toward the authentic self, revealing how men need clarity, purpose, connection, and the support of other men to thrive. A founding member of the United States Association for Body Psychotherapy (USABP) and a member of Division 51 of the American Psychological Association, Marcus integrates neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory, and somatic mindfulness to help individuals and groups cultivate emotional intelligence and authentic leadership.   Connect With Owen: Website: https://meld.community/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meld.men/ X: https://x.com/meldmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/meldmen LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/meldmenscommunity/

    Episode 1261: Do Change With People, Not To People with Scott Burgmeyer

    If your team is frustrated, your culture is drifting, and change feels exhausting, this conversation will reset your leadership.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Scott Burgmeyer, Founder and CEO of BecomeMore Group, who shares how he helps 300–500-employee organizations grow through leadership development, strategy, and change management. He’s the author of Chief Optimization Officer (2020) and Think: The Road Less Traveled (May 2025), and he co-hosts the Leadership Line podcast, released weekly. Scott explains how authentic leadership, truth-telling, and doing improvement with people (not to them) can reduce turnover, strengthen culture, and create measurable business impact.   Key Takeaways: → Regulatory disruption can be ignored, resisted, or accepted, but the winners redesign the org and equip leaders for the new reality. → Scaling works best when repeatable systems are built without neglecting the human side that drives adoption and retention. → Authentic leadership is relational, not social. → Leaders often “know” the issues but need an outside voice to cut through the sugarcoating and call out what’s really happening. → You can’t lead today’s workforce with yesterday’s assumptions. Frustration often stems from resisting reality rather than adapting your leadership approach.    Scott Burgmeyer is the Founder and CEO of BecomeMore Group, a company that reflects his journey of growth and transformation. His early career followed a traditional path, with successful roles in corporate environments. However, after achieving a significant corporate opportunity, Scott realized his comfort zone had shrunk, while the organization seemed content with his performance. Seeking more, he founded Creative Solutions Group in 2010, driven by relentless curiosity and a desire for growth. In 2018, Scott focused his efforts full-time on Creative Solutions Group and shortly thereafter co-authored his first of four books. The company continued to expand, culminating in a corporate acquisition with his partner Tammy in 2021 and the release of their fifth book. In 2023, Scott and Tammy formalized their merger, rebranding as BecomeMore Group to reflect their commitment to continuous personal and professional growth.   Connect With Scott: Website: https://www.becomemoregp.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/becomemoregp/ X: https://x.com/BecomeMoreGroup https://x.com/scottburgmeyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576980455975 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/becomemoregp/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/becomemoregp/

From the basics of SEO to advanced Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Damon offers expert insights into how businesses can thrive in this new digital era.   Key Takeaways: → AI is reshaping SEO, but it’s still vital to focus on the same core elements. → Despite the rise of AI, foundational SEO, like website structure and content strategy, remains essential. → Google’s dominance in search engines is still substantial, and businesses should not panic. → Understanding the intent behind search queries is vital for both traditional SEO and AI-powered platforms. → AI offers small businesses a unique opportunity to compete against larger players with the right SEO strategy and content.   Damon Burton is the founder of SEO National, a search engine marketing agency he launched in 2007 after famously outranking a billion-dollar company on Google.

    Episode 1259: Secrets To 10Xing Your Business: And Cashing Out Tax-Free with Marc Adams

    Most business owners don’t realize they’re building an exit they can’t afford.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Marc Adams, Strategy Mentor & Business Exit Planner at Acquisitions4You, who shares how his work has helped provide $22B in funding support and why he now focuses on helping founders double business value in 12 months or less. After a stage-four cancer diagnosis during the pandemic and a life-changing conversation with his son, Marc pivoted his mission toward helping the “nine out of ten” owners who never get the outcome they need. He explains the Double and Keep It framework, designed to grow value fast while protecting owners from the usual traps of dilution, debt burdens, and painful exit costs.   Key Takeaways: → Most business owners don’t get the value they expect when it’s time to sell. → Exit-math can be brutal, especially in states with high taxes. → Traditional private equity doesn’t solve the real problem. → The “double and keep it” framework aims to achieve value growth without dilution or debt service.   → This framework is meant to create a real retirement-grade exit.   Marc Adams is a strategy mentor and business-exit planner who helps founder-led companies double enterprise value in 12–24 months and structure tax-efficient exits without heavy dilution or personal guarantees. He’s helped take a company from roughly $140M to a $1B valuation and led a loss-making $18M-revenue business to a $140M exit. A bestselling author with Times Square features, Marc works closely with family offices and private capital, providing founders with a practical, buyer-aligned playbook for value creation, clean diligence, and better after-tax outcomes.   Connect With Marc: Website: https://acquisitions4you.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/1marcadams/

    Episode 1258: Health Benefits Without the 30% Annual Surprise with Chris Hamilton

    Your benefits plan may be getting more expensive for reasons unrelated to better care.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Chris Hamilton, Partner at Hotchkiss Insurance and a healthcare industry expert, who explains why employer health costs keep skyrocketing. He breaks down how misaligned incentives in traditional plans drive inflation and why mid-market employers often have far more control than they realize. You’ll hear practical, modern strategies such as self-funding, direct agreements, and transparency tools that can improve coverage while reducing total costs for both companies and employees.   Key Takeaways: → Traditional compensation structures can incentivize higher premiums rather than better outcomes for employers and employees. → When insurers own PBMs and other components, pricing can become a circular profit engine that justifies ongoing rate hikes. → If you reduce the underlying cost of care, the premium required to fund the plan naturally drops. → The same procedure can vary dramatically in price across facilities, with no reliable correlation to quality.  → Employers can contract directly with hospitals and concierge physicians to simplify access, improve care, and reduce both company and employee financial burdens.   Chris Hamilton is a Partner at Hotchkiss Insurance in Texas, where he leads the employee benefits consulting practice. He specializes in managing healthcare and insurance costs to improve benefits coverage, reduce expenses, and enhance employee health outcomes. With over a decade of experience in corporate finance, Chris has advised clients across various industries, including private equity and oil & gas. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, working out, attending live music events, and spending time with family.   Connect With Chris: Website: https://hotchkissinsurance.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chrishamiltonbenefitsinsider LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chamilton/
