He hosts Pursuit of Profit — the most popular podcast in franchising — and is co-author of the newly released Beyond the Brand: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Fearless Franchising.The story starts at eight, selling golf balls outside country clubs. By nineteen he was running one of the first food delivery services in the US — over a hundred McDonald's orders a day, likely making him the first food delivery subcontractor for McDonald's in America. This was 1991. He eventually landed at Morgan Stanley as an investment banker, only to realise he had traded real freedom for perceived security. In 2003, he walked away and acquired the Master Franchise rights for New York and Connecticut. That pivot changed everything.What followed was twenty-plus years at the top of American franchising — national development roles across PuroClean, Island Fin Poke, Krak Boba, and more. Through Franocity, Cliff now helps driven professionals answer the hard questions: Do I need industry experience? Can I keep my day job? What does a successful franchise owner actually look like? No fluff, no hype.His book, Beyond the Brand, tells entrepreneurs what franchising really looks like from the inside — and how to walk in with eyes wide open.

    https://mfbpodcast.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/MFB+SHOW+543+Darius+Ross.mp3Subscribe: Email | TuneIn | RSSInterview With Darius RossHow to Turn Homelessness Into a Coaching Empire With The TPS BlueprintOn today's show I have the pleasure of welcoming author, transformational coach, and serial entrepreneur Darius "Dman" Ross to talk about the TPS Blueprint — his framework for turning trauma into triumph and building a life and business on your own terms.On the outside, Darius "Dman" Ross looks like a man who has always known how to win. Look closer, and you'll find someone who lost everything first — and built something extraordinary from that experience.Darius Alexander Ross was born on July 16, 1965 in Laurel, Mississippi, and raised in Chicago. He attended Chicago State University, Wright College, Lake Forest College, and the International Academy of Design. He started his career in banking and went on to become a certified business broker, merger and acquisition intermediary, commercial real estate broker and appraiser, and commodities trader. He has served on multiple boards — including the New York City High School of Economics and Finance Business Advisory Board — and has been listed in Marquis Who's Who as a noteworthy commodities trader and philanthropist.Then there was the period when it all came apart. Darius has spoken openly about experiencing homelessness. Not just hardship — homelessness. That kind of loss strips away every story you've been telling yourself about who you are and what you're worth. For most people, it breaks them. For Darius, it became the raw material for something that would define his life's work.From that experience, he built the TPS Blueprint — Transforming Trauma into Triumph. At its core, the framework is simple: adversity is not something to survive, it's something to use. The pain of your worst experiences contains intelligence about who you are, what you can endure, and what you're capable of building. His "guerilla strategy" teaches individuals how to extract that intelligence and convert it into fuel for personal and professional growth. His HGDR model — Hustle, Grind, Define, and Refine — gives it structure and traction.The people Darius coaches are not drifting. They are entrepreneurs who've hit a wall. Leaders who've lost their edge. High-net-worth individuals who've built wealth but haven't built meaning. They know how to work. What they need is someone who can help them understand why their past trauma keeps showing up in their present performance — and what to do about it.Today, Darius works with Fortune 500 companies and high-net-worth individuals. He has authored multiple books, including Mastering the TPS Blueprint: Transforming Trauma into Triumph and Leadership DNA: Shaping a Thriving Business Culture. He has been a guest on top podcasts, economic panels, and business conferences. He plays scratch golf. He is building toward a $100 trillion infrastructure holding group with plans to acquire and scale more than 1,000 companies globally.To learn more about Darius and get your copy of Mastering the TPS Blueprint, click the link below. Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

The title, the salary, the accolades; but they feel completely hollow on the inside. Kenny Stoddart lived that version for nearly three decades, and what he built from the wreckage of it is changing the way high performers think about identity, leadership, and what it actually means to be strong.A former global cybersecurity executive who spent 27 years with VeriSign, Symantec, and Sectigo, Kenny drove hundreds of millions in channel revenue and earned President's Club honours sixteen times. By every external measure, he was winning. Behind that career, he was simultaneously navigating addiction and serious health challenges, including a Stage 2b prostate cancer diagnosis. When the structure of performance-based identity finally cracked, Kenny didn't retreat. He rebuilt, and that rebuilding process became Identity Gain™.Unlike conventional recovery models, Identity Gain™ is built on a fundamentally different premise: you don't go back. You build forward. The framework helps high achievers acquire what Kenny calls internal assets, clarity, conviction, internal authority, boundaries, and direction. These are the things no résumé achievement or external crisis can take or give, and they are what make someone not just functional again, but stronger and more anchored than they have ever been.The people Kenny works with aren't struggling with skill gaps. They're struggling with identity gaps, executives and leaders performing at the top while quietly collapsing underneath. His IronMind Mentality program addresses both the surface performance and the root cause, beginning with the Iron Audit: a brutally honest diagnostic of where a client truly is.An IronMan World Championship triathlete, MBA graduate with Highest Honours from The Citadel, and currently pursuing a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Kenny brings lived experience to everything he teaches. Featured in Forbes, Psychology Today, Men's Health, CNBC, and Nasdaq, his message is simple even if the work is not: the version of you that emerges from the hardest chapter of your life can be the strongest one yet.To learn more about Identity Gain™, or to contact Kenny directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

    https://media.blubrry.com/my_future_business/mfbpodcast.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/MFB+SHOW+540+MONTE+WYATT.mp3Subscribe: Email | TuneIn | RSSInterview With Monte WyattHow to Make Leadership and Management Your Biggest Competitive Advantage#addzerosnow #leadershipdevelopment #montewyattHi, and welcome to the show!On today's show I have the pleasure of welcoming Best-Selling Author and Executive Leadership Coach, Monte Wyatt to talk about executive team alignment, how leadership and management are 2 different things, why both are needed more than ever today — and why misalignment, not strategy, is what's really holding most companies back.There's a moment Monte Wyatt has witnessed hundreds of times. The strategy is solid, the people are capable, and yet growth has stalled — decisions drag, meetings loop, and the CEO is carrying everything alone. Monte’s diagnosis is consistent: the problem isn't strategy. It's alignment.As CEO of AddingZEROS and WSJ and USA Today Best-Selling Author of “Pulling Profits Out of a Hat”, Monte has spent over 30 years helping executives see what they can't see from inside their own organizations. He's the top-ranked ActionCOACH Partner in North America, a Top 30 Global Guru in Organizational Culture, and holds certifications from John C. Maxwell, Marshall Goldsmith, and Jeffrey Gitomer.His AddingZEROS 5 Disciplines — Strategy, Business Development, People, Execution, and Mission — install a leadership operating system that turns confusion into clarity. Clients report faster decisions, predictable execution, revenue growth, and higher engagement. One summed it up simply: "We finally act like one team."Central to Monte's teaching is the distinction between leadership and management — two functions that are equally essential but routinely confused. Leadership drives vision and culture; management drives process and accountability. His coaching ensures both work together, intentionally. Having spent 14 years in global corporate roles at Syngenta before launching AddingZEROS in 2004, Monte brings real operational credibility to every engagement.Monte’s mission is to impact one million executives globally — not by telling them what to do, but by teaching them how to think. For any CEO tired of being the ceiling of their own company, Monte's message is simple: stop working harder. Start building a truly aligned team.To learn more about the topics discussed, or to contact Monte directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

    https://media.blubrry.com/my_future_business/mfbpodcast.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/MFB+SHOW+539+JAMIE+SYLVIAN.mp3Subscribe: Email | TuneIn | RSSInterview With Jamie SylvianHow to Turn Your Corporate Experience Into a Location-Independent Career#ExecutiveNomad #LocationIndependentCareer #JamieSylvianHi, and welcome to the show!On today's show I have the pleasure of welcoming author, podcaster and founder of Executive Nomad, Jamie Sylvian, to talk about how professionals over 50 can turn decades of corporate expertise into a location-independent advisory business — free from titles, borders, and a single employer.There's a moment many senior executives know well. The restructuring email lands, the algorithm flags you as overqualified, and the company you gave decades to quietly reorganises around people half your age. You're not finished — but the corporate world has decided you are. Jamie has built a movement around refusing that narrative. Jamie, who is the founder of ExecutiveNomad.com, has run a location-independent consulting business since 1991, co-founded a company that sold for £210 million, and closed over $100 million in deals across fintech, energy, and infrastructure — all while living and working from Greek harbour towns, Thai beach apartments, and European ski resorts.His framework, Rewire, Repackage, Repurpose, guides executives through separating identity from job title, packaging expertise into consulting, coaching, non-executive director roles, or workshop income streams, and connecting those skills to a global client base. The result is a portfolio career with multiple clients, multiple income streams, and no geographic anchor.His two companion books complete the picture. Executive Nomad: The Rise of the Sovereign Professional makes the philosophical case — the corporate ladder has structurally collapsed for experienced professionals, autonomy has replaced employment as the foundation of stability, and AI elevates deep expertise rather than replacing it. Rewire, Repackage, Repurpose: The Strategy then delivers the practical blueprint for making it happen.If you’ve spent decades building expertise the world needs and are ready to stop renting it to a single employer, this conversation is for you.To learn more about the topics discussed, or to contact Jamie directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

During the call, Robert will share practical strategies for discovering your authentic self and how to cultivate true personal empowerment through self-awareness and genuine communication.In a world saturated with self-help programs promising transformation, Robert Wilson stands apart with a provocative message: much of what we call "self-help" is actually holding us back. As a renowned speaker and coach, Wilson helps individuals break free from the very systems designed to help them grow.Robert's approach centers on "Sovereign Liberation"—communicating away self-help programming to reveal our authentic selves. Unlike traditional methodologies that replace one set of limiting beliefs with another, his philosophy emphasizes true empowerment through self-awareness and genuine communication.At the heart of Robert's teaching is a fundamental question: Are we growing into who we truly are, or simply adopting new programming that looks like growth? He's discovered that many people become trapped in cycles of self-improvement that distance them from their authentic identity. The solution isn't more programming—it's liberation from programming altogether.Robert teaches that the way we speak to ourselves and others can either perpetuate limiting beliefs or liberate us from them. By becoming conscious of these patterns, individuals can express themselves authentically and create lives aligned with their true nature rather than borrowed ideals.Through his work at My Cowboy Wisdom, Robert has inspired countless individuals to reclaim authority over their own lives. His message is clear: true personal empowerment comes not from following the right program, but from having the courage to be sovereign in your own life.To learn more about the topics discussed, or to contact Robert directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

Andrew Robinson is not one of those writers. The transplanted New Englander has built a remarkably diverse career spanning children's books, time travel fantasy, screenplays, and television—with projects produced everywhere from Central Florida to Poland to Turkey.Andrew is currently focused on his time travel fantasy series that began with Worst Date, Greatest Adventure, published by Champagne Book Group. Similar to the popular Outlander series, the book and its sequel Worst Date, Greatest Challenge blend romance, history, and fantasy. He's now working on the third installment.Andrew's also making waves in the vampire genre with Vampire Academia—and he's quick to clarify it's nothing like Twilight. The book resonated enough that Champagne Book Group requested a sequel, proving there's appetite for fresh takes on supernatural themes.Beyond novels, Robinson's screenwriting credits span continents. His work has been produced by companies in the U.S., Poland, Iran, and Turkey. His rom-com A Vagabond's Chaotic Life and Cannabis Queen: The Elvy Musikka Story were both presented by All the Line Studio in Orlando.Andrew's dedication extends beyond his own writing. He now leads the Orlando/Maitland Chapter of the Florida Writers' Association, supporting other writers in their journeys. His focus on strong female protagonists comes from a personal place—his daughter inspires many of his determined heroines.To learn more about the topics discussed, or to contact Andrew directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.
