In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu speaks with Marcella Silva about land banking, an investment strategy focused on acquiring affordable land in areas positioned for future growth.

    Your Revenue Is Growing, But Where Is the Profit Going? - Kimberly Cano [Ep 97]

    Your business can bring in more revenue every year and still struggle to become more profitable. The problem might not be sales. It might be what's happening behind the scenes. In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu speaks with Kimberly Cano, a fractional profitability officer who helps founder-led environmental and construction businesses identify operational inefficiencies, improve processes, and build more profitable operations. Kim explains why contractors generating $1 million to $5 million annually can find growth especially challenging. As businesses add employees, equipment, and responsibilities, the systems that once worked can become bottlenecks that limit profitability. Drawing on her extensive experience in the environmental industry, Kim shares how she approaches business operations, from reviewing collections and overdue invoices to examining expenses, purchasing practices, staffing, and accountability. She explains how these details can reveal problems that owners may have overlooked for years. Kim also discusses the value of hands-on business assessment, the challenges of remote consulting, and opportunities to help both established contractors and new entrepreneurs build stronger systems from the beginning. Whether you operate an environmental company, construction business, electrical contracting firm, plumbing company, or another service-based business, this conversation offers practical ways to think about profitability, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth. Watch the full conversation with Joe Abreu to discover what might be holding your business back and why fixing the operation can be just as important as growing revenue.

    How Clean Energy Is Transforming Communities in Ghana - Tangelic [Ep 95]

    What if access to clean energy could improve people's health, create economic opportunities, and help entire communities build a better future? In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu speaks with Jesston Williams, executive director of Tangelic, a nonprofit focused on clean energy infrastructure and sustainable development in West Africa, currently concentrating on Ghana. Jesston explains how Tangelic is working with local partners to bring practical clean energy solutions to rural communities, beginning with clean cookstoves. The conversation explores how a seemingly simple technology can reduce cooking time, decrease emissions, and reduce the amount of wood and charcoal families need to collect. But the mission goes beyond cookstoves. Jesston discusses plans for home solar systems and community microgrids, the challenges of funding sustainable development projects, and how carbon credits can help attract investment in emissions-reduction initiatives. Jesston also shares an important leadership lesson from building an organization without a playbook: meaningful progress requires difficult decisions, strong relationships, and the ability to adapt as circumstances change. If you're interested in clean energy, impact investing, sustainable development, nonprofit leadership, or building partnerships that solve real-world problems, this conversation offers a closer look at the work and opportunities involved. Watch the full conversation with Joe Abreu to learn how Tangelic is approaching clean energy in Ghana and how leadership, investment, and collaboration can help turn an ambitious mission into action.

    What if the success you're working so hard to achieve is keeping you from enjoying the life you wanted in the first place? Entrepreneurs are often focused on the next goal, the next milestone, and the next level of growth. But what happens when building a successful business becomes a job you can't escape? In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu talks with Chris Abazis, keynote speaker, business coach, author of Spontaneous as F: The Art of Saying Yes and Living Life Unscripted, and TEDx organizer.

Chris explains how spontaneity can help you break out of routine, challenge assumptions, and rediscover the joy of unexpected experiences without becoming reckless or abandoning responsibility. Chris also shares a real coaching example involving a husband-and-wife real estate team. By helping them hire an operations manager and build a stronger team, he helped them create more time for themselves and enjoy experiences beyond their business.

    What Will Your Family Remember About You? Leave More Than Money - Before I'm Gone [Ep 93]

    What if your family could hear your voice, see your messages, and learn your stories years after you're gone? And what if the most meaningful thing you leave behind isn't money or property, but the memories and lessons only you can share? In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu speaks with Cory McCaskey, co-founder of Before I'm Gone, about preserving your legacy and making sure the messages that matter most aren't left unsaid. After surviving a catastrophic motorcycle accident and facing other serious personal challenges, Cory developed a powerful perspective on time, purpose, and what we leave behind. That perspective helped inspire a platform designed to preserve personal stories, video messages, and important information for loved ones. Cory explains how Before I'm Gone works, including how people can record messages for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and future generations. He also discusses the platform's guided life story interviews, built-in AI assistance for wording messages, teleprompter features, and the ability to organize important end-of-life information for family members. Cory's central message is simple: don't wait until it's too late to share what matters. Whether or not you use a legacy platform, consider what you want your family to remember and what you can do today to preserve it. Watch the full conversation with Joe Abreu and reflect on the stories, wisdom, and messages you want to pass on.

    Your marketing might reach potential customers today, but will they remember your business when they're ready to buy? Most small businesses focus on what customers see. But what about what they hear? On this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, host Joe Abreu speaks with Jeff McQuilkin, composer and creator of Jetstream Sonic, about sonic branding and how a distinctive sound can help small businesses build recognition and stand out from competitors.

According to Jeff, the company reported becoming top of mind in local polling within six months and generating $500,000 in revenue from the ad during that period. The key takeaway? Marketing is not just about getting attention. It is about being remembered when someone needs what you offer.
