    He Accidentally Found The Key To Explosive Business Growth

    What if the fastest way to scale your business isn’t opening every new location yourself, but building a model that other entrepreneurs can help you grow? In this episode of The Big Table, I sit down with entrepreneur Alex Smereczniak to break down how franchising can become a powerful vehicle for explosive business growth. We break down what it actually takes to franchise a business, why you need a proven concept before you start, how franchise disclosure documents work, the role of franchise brokers and franchise sales organizations, and why having repeatable systems is critical if you want to scale. Alex also explains why he generally wants to see a business prove itself across multiple locations before attempting to franchise. Franchising isn’t a magic solution, it’s a business model that can help a proven concept expand faster when the systems and infrastructure are there to support it. ________________________________ Get connected with Coach Burt: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michealburt TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therealcoachburt Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CoachMichealBurt LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michealburt Dive deeper with Coach and his concepts: Free PreyDrive Planner: https://planner.coachburt.com/planner Events: https://www.thegreatnessfactory.com/events Join Our Group Coaching: https://www.thegreatnessfactory.com/membership Hire Me To Speak: https://www.coachburt.com/bookcoach Check Out My Books: https://books.coachburt.com/books

    He Died and Was Brought Back To Life… Here’s What He Learned

    What happens when you come face-to-face with death and get a second chance at life? In this episode of The Big Table Podcast, I sit down with Rudy Montejo, a human development expert who experienced a life changing crossroads after an accident left him in the hospital, handcuffed to a bed, and fighting for his life. He stopped breathing, was intubated, and had to be brought back to life. That experience became the catalyst for a completely different path. Rudy went on to study personal development, addiction sciences, clinical therapy, emotional intelligence, and human behavior. Today, he helps people navigate the crossroads of their lives and, more importantly, avoid self-destructing when life gets difficult. In this conversation, we dive into why people repeat destructive patterns, how childhood experiences can influence adult behavior, the power of radical accountability, and what it takes to make a different decision when you're at a crossroads.

    The Psychology of Influence Every Business Owner Should Know l Dale Carnegie's Timeless Principals

    How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie What separates entrepreneurs who constantly create new opportunities from those who struggle to gain traction? More often than not, it isn't talent, intelligence, or even marketing, it's influence. In this video, I break down the timeless principles from Dale Carnegie's classic book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and show you how I've applied them over the past 30 years of coaching entrepreneurs, executives, sales professionals, and business owners. This isn't a book summary, it's a practical look at how these principles create trust, strengthen relationships, and open doors that money alone can't buy. In this video, you'll learn: - Why genuine curiosity is one of the most powerful influence skills in     business - How to build stronger relationships with entrepreneurs, executives, and decision-makers - Why asking better questions creates better business opportunities - The leadership principle that helps people reach their full potential - How great listeners uncover opportunities everyone else misses - Why trust—not talent—is the foundation of long-term business success - How strategic partnerships are built through influence, not persuasion Throughout my career, I've found that the biggest breakthroughs didn't come from being the smartest person in the room. They came from learning how to build authentic relationships, create value for others, and consistently earn trust. These are the same principles Dale Carnegie taught nearly a century ago, and they're just as relevant in today's business world. Chapters: 00:00 - Why Dale Carnegie's Principles Still Matter 01:19 - #1: Become Genuinely Interested 02:50 - #2: Talk in Terms of Their Interests 03:59 - #-3: Make People Feel Important 04:55 - #4: Become a Great Listener 05:55 - #5: Build Belief Instead of Criticism 06:39 - #6: Give People a Reputation 07:33 - #7: Why Influence Creates Opportunity 08:36 - Relationships Are Your Greatest Asset 09:38 - Final Thoughts ________________________________ Get connected with Coach Burt: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michealburt TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therealcoachburt Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CoachMichealBurt LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michealburt

Instead of trying to be everywhere, he explains why the most influential people focus on mastering one thing, solving a specific problem, and becoming impossible to ignore because of the value they create.

    The Secret Framework Successful People Use to Achieve Big Goals | Reverse Engineer Success

    Why do some people achieve extraordinary goals while others stay stuck chasing one opportunity after another? After spending decades coaching entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, professional athletes, and high performers, I've discovered that the people who achieve the biggest results don't work harder—they think differently. They start with an ambitious vision, reverse engineer the outcome they want, and focus only on the few actions that create exponential results. In this video, I break down the exact framework I've developed by combining lessons from world-class entrepreneurs, elite psychologists, billionaires, and my own experience building businesses and coaching thousands of people. We'll cover the A-to-B Exercise, Power Law Strategy, Quantum Leaps, and my Blue Marlin Strategy, showing you how these concepts work together to eliminate opportunity confusion and create a clear path toward your biggest goals.

    How To Rewire Your Brain To Scale A Business l Dr. Benjamin Hardy

    In this special session at The Greatness Factory, I sit down with Dr. Benjamin Hardy to discuss one of the most misunderstood topics in business: scaling.  Most entrepreneurs believe scaling is about better tactics, more marketing, or working harder. Dr. Hardy explains why real scaling starts with identity, psychology, and becoming the person capable of operating at a completely different level. We dive deep into the concepts behind 10X thinking, future self psychology, goal setting, leadership, business growth, and why your current identity may be the biggest thing holding your business back. Dr. Hardy breaks down how successful entrepreneurs use their future vision to shape present decisions, eliminate distractions, focus on what truly matters, and create exponential growth instead of incremental progress. We also discuss the principles behind The Science of Scaling and 10X Is Easier Than 2X, including how to identify the right opportunities, raise your standards, remove what no longer serves your growth, build strategic partnerships, develop the skills required for your next level, and focus on signal over noise in today's crowded marketplace.

    In this episode of The Big Table, I sit down with bestselling author and entrepreneur Dr. Benjamin Hardy to break down the principles behind The Science of Scaling and what it really takes to 10X a business in 3 years or less. Most entrepreneurs focus on growth. Benjamin explains why growth and scaling are not the same thing, and why so many businesses get stuck between $1M and $5M in revenue. We dive into the strategies, mindset shifts, and decision making frameworks that help founders move from incremental progress to exponential results. Benjamin shares his proven 10X framework, the power of setting impossible goals, how to identify the few actions that create the majority of results, and why scaling requires a completely different way of thinking about business, leadership, strategy, and opportunity.

    Human Performance Expert Reveals Why Most Leaders Fail

    In this episode of The Big Table Podcast I sit down with Colby Jubenville: a human performance expert, professor, trusted advisor, and co-author of Zebras and Cheetahs for one of the deepest conversations we’ve had on leadership, identity, burnout, culture, and what really causes people and teams to fail. Colby breaks down the psychology behind bad leadership, why high performers sometimes become toxic, and how unresolved tension destroys organizations from the inside out. We discuss accountability, trust, questions-based leadership, emotional exhaustion, team dysfunction, and why most leaders avoid the hard conversations that actually create growth. We also revisit lessons from our book Zebras and Cheetahs and reflect on over a decade of working together in the business world — from staying in cheap hotels and building consulting businesses to helping leaders scale teams, develop culture, and navigate adversity under pressure. If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, coach, executive, athlete, or someone trying to unlock higher performance in life and business, this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership and human behavior.
