    Episode 65: Kindness as a Growth Strategy With Brent Ridge

    What if your biggest growth lever isn’t capital or creatives—but kindness, creativity, and simply showing up?  In this episode, I talk with Brent Ridge, co-founder of Beekman 1802, about how a small goat farm became a national skincare brand. We cover the real stuff: starting with hand-wrapped soaps, cold-calling big stores, landing a 52,000-bar order with tiny margins, and getting the whole town to help pack. We dig into the TV retail break (QVC/HSN), launching in Ulta right as COVID hit, and simple, clever partnerships—like Jiffy Lube “spa” promos and a Schitt’s Creek collab—that got huge attention without huge spend. The big lesson: lead with kindness, help first, keep telling your story, and keep showing up. Key Takeaways: 1. How We Started: From a country detour and goat milk to the first bar of soap.2. The First Big Wins (and Hard Lessons): Cold calls, Fifth Avenue interest, a 52,000-bar order—and tight margins.3. TV Retail That Moved the Needle: QVC/HSN storytelling (yes, baby goats) and what actually scaled.4. Low-Cost, High-Creativity Partnerships: $0 ideas, Jiffy Lube “facials,” and a Schitt’s Creek tie-in that helped the town.5. Kindness as a Business Strategy: Help first, negotiate by giving, and make values part of the product. 🎧 Listen or watch the episode to see how simple actions—done consistently—can build a brand that lasts.

    Chris Ducker on Leading for the Long Haul

    What if the smartest move for your business right now isn’t to push harder—but to pull back with intent?  In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and author Chris Ducker to unpack what it takes to lead for decades, without burning out.. We talk about the season of life that inspired his latest book, The Long Haul Leader, why “more” isn’t always better, and how defining enough can unlock better decisions everywhere else. Chris shares his burnout story, the health habits that rebuilt his energy, and why doubling down on your zone of genius (while delegating the rest) raises the standard across your entire company. We also get real about legacy, family, and creative recovery—because a business that consumes you can’t be the one that sustains you. If you want results that last, this conversation will reset how you build, lead, and live. Key Takeaways:1. From Hustle to the Long Haul: Why it’s okay to take your foot off the gas—and the life season that inspired The Long Haul Leader.2. Redefining “Enough” and Setting Ambitious Guardrails: A frank discussion about targets, guilt, and setting a number that serves your life, not your ego.3. Health Before Scale: Chris’s burnout story, clinical recovery, and the biohacking habits that restored focus and drive.4. Zone of Genius & Delegation That Elevates the Standard: Doing what only you can do, hiring specialists, and making “acquire talent” a founder’s job.5. Legacy, Family, and Creative Recovery for Leaders: What legacy really means—and how nature, art, and hobbies make you a better leader. Listen or watch now to learn how I’m rethinking leadership with Chris Ducker—and how you can build a business (and life) that truly lasts.

    Have you ever wondered why a customer walks away—even when the price feels just right? In this episode, I sat down with behavioral economics expert and bestselling author Melina Palmer to explore the real reasons people buy… or don’t.
