Ep.78 Rick Sebak - A Friendly Neighbor Narrator Program

Rick Sebak changed the way Pittsburgh sees itself. Before Yelp reviews or social media nostalgia, his voice guided generations through shuttered diners, lost landmarks, and the quirks that make a neighborhood feel like home. From WQED specials to national PBS hits, his documentaries transformed everyday lives into lasting legacies. This week, we sit down with the man who’s been narrating our neighborhoods for over 40 years to talk memory, media, and the magic of looking closer.

Ep.108 - What They Don’t Tell You Until It’s Too Late

Household debt is surging, car loans keep stretching longer, and even simple repairs now require fighting with insurance companies. In this episode, Joe and Jerry dig into the financial pressures building on everyday families and why so many people are silently slipping into deeper debt. Through real stories and real numbers, they lay out how policies, corporations, and consumer habits all collide to create today’s financial chokehold.

Ep.110 - If You Don’t Set Boundaries, Others Will

Everyone wants growth. Nobody talks about survival. In Episode 110, Joe and Jerry strip away the hustle buzzwords and get real about boundaries, the kind that keep your business, your team, and your sanity intact. From customers who expect the moon for the price of a paperclip, to the hard truth about firing clients, rewriting engagement letters, and protecting your people, this episode is a reminder that saying yes to everything is the fastest way to burn out. They break down why your “best” customers can quietly become your biggest liability, how systems exist to stop constant firefighting, and why consistency matters more than heroics. But they also talk about the other side of the coin: how standing your ground, even in a tense moment, can earn respect and turn a bad interaction into one of your most loyal, long-term customers. Along the way are stories every business owner will recognize: entitlement, unrealistic deadlines, corporate nonsense, and yes, even an unexpected mouse making a cameo to prove that chaos always shows up when your guard is down. If you don’t set boundaries, someone else will. And they won’t do it in your favor.

Ep.111 - Convenience Is the System. Confidence Is the Signal.

Convenience is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s the system customers expect, and the moment it breaks, confidence breaks with it. In this episode, Joe and Jerry talk through how companies like Amazon and DoorDash have quietly reset effort, patience, and expectations, and what that means for small businesses trying to compete without racing to the bottom on price. From dry cleaning routes to tax prep, buying books of business to saying no to the wrong work, this conversation is about building systems that make life easier and confidence that makes customers stay. Because trust isn’t claimed. It’s earned through consistency, clarity, and how well you show up when it matters. #ConvenienceEconomy #ConfidenceInBusiness #ConvenienceVsPrice #SetTheStandard

Ep.113 - Fake Money, Real Costs

Inflation isn’t a headline. It’s a daily reality. From rising software fees and utilities to fuel costs and junk charges that quietly stack up, small business owners are feeling the squeeze from every direction. In Episode 113, the guys unpack what it actually looks like when costs never go down, why raising prices is so uncomfortable, and how business owners are forced to adapt just to stay afloat. Along the way, they connect the dots between fake money in digital worlds and very real decisions in the real one, all while reflecting on social media, personal branding, and heading into 2026 with eyes wide open.

Ep.109 - The Only Marketing That Won’t Bankrupt You

In this episode, the guys discuss the only marketing move that won’t drain your bank account before the holidays, consistent social content. From why your best videos flop and your worst ones pop, to understanding platforms, algorithms, and the psychology of impulse, and into what actually grows a business in 2025. Scaling smart, supporting your friends’ content, and why most small businesses are leaving opportunity on the table. If you’re still debating whether social media matters, this one settles it.

Ep.112 - A Clip Show of Our Past Year’s Guests

This episode is a look back at the guests who joined us over the past year and the moments that stuck with us most. Different industries, different paths, but a lot of the same lessons kept showing up. Ownership, risk, discipline, perspective, and what it really takes to stay in the game. Instead of one long conversation, this is a collection of voices from people who are actually doing the work, sharing what they’ve learned the hard way. If you are new to the show, this is a good place to start. If you’ve been here all year, it is a reminder of why these conversations matter.
