Today on the podcast, Allan Dib joins Bradley again to share about Lean Marketing, his latest book. You keep being told to do more marketing―more complex, more aggressive, and more expensive marketing. Chasing the latest bright, shiny object is exhausting. Increased efforts keep leading to disappointment. The overwhelm for entrepreneurs, marketers, and business leaders is real. There’s a better way.
The lean movement has transformed manufacturing and is now revolutionizing marketing. Small, medium, and large businesses are getting bigger and better results with less marketing.
Allan is a serial entrepreneur, rebellious marketer, technology expert, and author of the international bestseller, The 1-Page Marketing Plan. He has started, grown and successfully exited multiple businesses in various industries.
His last business was in the hyper-competitive telecommunications industry. It went from startup to four years later being named by Business Review Weekly (BRW) as one of Australia's fastest-growing companies - earning a spot in the coveted BRW Fast 100 list.
 Allan is passionate about helping businesses find new and innovative ways to leverage technology and marketing to facilitate rapid business growth. As a highly sought-after business coach, consultant and public speaker, he frequently shares his proven strategies and cutting-edge tactics with people all over the world.

Stonecutters could pound at a single rock 100 times without seeing any result, but on the 101st blow, it could split in two. Sometimes, business feels like pounding away at a rock without any progress. Bradley encourages listeners to remember the Stonecutter's Credo and apply it to their own business practices for resilience and perseverance.

Today on the podcast, listener favorite Steve Suggs joins Bradley again to discuss Retaining The Best in your business. Steve has a vast experience and unparalleled expertise in the realms of sales and recruitment. With a career that spans over forty years, Steve brings to the table a rich tapestry of knowledge, having worn many hats: a salesperson, a sales manager, a best-selling author with his influential work, "Can They Sell," a speaker, a trainer, and a transformative consultant.
Steve's academic journey began with a business degree from Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN. Post-graduation, he embarked on a commendable 15-year tenure at Northwestern Mutual, achieving notable success as an MDRT producer and Sales Leader. The subsequent twenty-four years have seen Steve excel as a partner at Sales Manage Solutions.
Every tool and process Steve shares with you in this episode is not just theory; it's a part of his daily practice. He has trained thousands of agents, conducting up to fifty consulting calls each week, mentoring agents on hiring stellar sales and service team members capable of adapting to the ever-evolving sales landscape.
Beyond his professional achievements, Steve is a man deeply devoted to his family. Married to his college sweetheart, Tammy, for forty years, he finds joy in the company of his two adult children, their spouses, and his five grandchildren. In his leisure time, Steve is an avid woodworker and enjoys bringing new life to older objects, transforming them into pieces of decorative art.

The money is in owning, not operating a business. If you transitioned from working as an employee or manager into being an owner, you may be struggling to shift. Because your time is the most valuable thing you have, you need to implement the mindset, skillset, and toolset to shift from being an operator, aka Rainmaker, to Owner, aka Architect.

Today on the podcast, Randy Gravitt joins Bradley to discuss how finding success at work begins at home. In an era characterized by technological advancements and virtual work environments, the boundary between personal and professional spheres has become increasingly blurred. Many people are struggling to balance both work and family, unable to find success in both areas simultaneously.
 Author, speaker and executive coach, Randy Gravitt, believes that in order to achieve success at work, you must first win where it matters most - at home. In his new book, Winning Begins at Home: A Strategy to Win Beyond Work (John Maxwell Leadership, June 11, 2024), Gravitt prompts readers to reevaluate their definition of achievement, asking the question, “Does winning at work require losing at home?”
“The story at the core of Winning Begins at Home is one born from decades of working with leaders at top businesses, sports teams, and nonprofits,” writes Gravitt. “Here’s the truth: who we are outside of work is what matters most at work. And who we are at work filters into our home life, whether we realize it or not. I’ve always sought to help leaders win, but leaders keep admitting to me that if you win at work and lose at home, you still lose. May Winning Begins at Home give you a strategy to succeed where it matters most!”
Winning Begins at Home features a parable of businessman John Williams, whose thriving business is overshadowed by a growing divide between him and his family. John meets a mentor who guides him through an action plan for getting his family back on track and finds hope in the process.
Combining storytelling with actionable strategies, Gravitt empowers readers to embark on their own journey toward fulfillment. Winning Begins at Home serves as a comprehensive guide, offering an assessment, workbook, practical exercises and action steps that will help readers create a blueprint for the family they want. Winning Begins at Home is not merely a book; it is a call to action for people to prioritize their most cherished relationships.
