Jeremy, along with his wife, Hisano, are the power duo behind Pearl Paradise and a large and devoted community of pearl collectors around the world.

    Pest-Control Entrepreneur Tim Whitt on Building Stronger Cultures, Retaining Good Employees, and Growing Thriving Companies

    Timothy P. Whitt is a small business owner, franchisor, and leadership expert whose business mentors include termites, mosquitoes, and stinging bees. Really. After more than 45 years in the pest-control industry, Tim — founder and CEO of Pied Piper Pest and Lawn — says every entrepreneur can learn a great deal from the problems insects and critters create for homeowners — and the methods professionals use to eliminate or control them. In his new book, Infested: End Workplace Drama, Stop Toxic Employees, Build a Thriving Small Business, Tim explains how business owners can spot human "pests" before they cause serious damage, how to distinguish between employees who need coaching and those who need to be let go, and why leadership — not just hiring — is often the key to preventing workplace infestations. Whether you manage five employees or five hundred, Tim's practical insights on hiring, training, accountability, and culture can help you build a stronger organization and avoid the kinds of personnel problems that drain time, morale, and profits.

    The Hidden Family Dynasty Behind Fidelity Investments

    One in every five American adults is a customer. The company generates more than $32 billion in annual revenue. And the $17 trillion in customer accounts and investment funds it manages exceeds the combined gross domestic products of Germany, Japan, and India. Yet despite Fidelity Investments' enormous influence, relatively little has been known about the singular family behind the Boston-based multinational financial services giant. In his new book, House of Fidelity, Justin Baer, deputy markets editor with The Wall Street Journal, reveals the dramatic three-generation saga of the fiercely private Johnson family and how they helped transform American investing. This week, Baer shares the behind-the-scenes story of Fidelity's success and the universal lessons Fidelity's rise offers in leadership, marketing, innovation, and succession planning.

    'Ticker Take' Founder Jon Erlichman on How Business Owners and Entrepreneurs Can Draw Massive Audiences to Their Digital Content

    Jon Erlichman spent 25 years as a television business news anchor, helping viewers make better financial and investing decisions. But it turns out his most remarkable expertise is self-marketing. Since leaving mainstream journalism in October 2024 to launch his own digital brand — Ticker Take — his social media videos have been viewed a whopping 2 billion times. His formula, as he shares on this episode, relies on short-form content, authenticity, storytelling, and plenty of silliness. For business owners and entrepreneurs wondering how to draw massive audiences to their digital content, an investment in this week's Monday Morning Radio episode rates "a strong buy."

    Why Smart Executives Still Make Bad Decisions — and What Cheryl Strauss Einhorn Says They Should Do Instead

    Cheryl Strauss Einhorn has spent years helping executives, entrepreneurs, and leadership teams avoid costly mistakes and make smarter, more confident choices. A former financial journalist turned decision-science strategist, she developed the widely used AREA Method — a structured framework designed to help leaders challenge assumptions, reduce cognitive bias, and improve judgment in high-stakes situations. As Cheryl explains, while "gut instinct" has a legitimate place in business, too many leaders rely on it rather than grounding their choices in evidence, real-world testing, stakeholder input, and rigorous analysis. Her newly published book, The Human Edge: Smarter Decisions in the Age of AI, explores how entrepreneurs and executives can leverage AI as a decision-support tool without surrendering their own judgment to the machine. This conversation offers practical insights for anyone who wants to think more clearly, lead more effectively, and make better decisions in an increasingly AI-driven world.  Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

    Zig Ziglar's Timeless Principles in the Age of Artificial Intelligence and Disruption

    Had he lived, Zig Ziglar — the legendary motivational speaker who died in 2012 — would have turned 100 later this year.  To honor his father, Tom Ziglar, who now heads the Ziglar organization, is planning a gala event in Franklin, Tennessee, on October 16th. Limited to 1,500 high achievers, the once-in-a-lifetime gathering will feature members of the Ziglar family and well-known inspirational figures, including personal-finance guru Dave Ramsey and UFC champion Michael Chandler. This week, Tom shares little-known stories about his father, including the fact that despite Zig's worldwide fame, he once carried a stranger's luggage to the guest's hotel room simply because the out-of-towner mistook Zig in his red sports coat for a bellman.  More than a nostalgic look backward, this week's episode offers a thoughtful meditation on legacy, leadership, and the enduring power of optimism.
