  • UPDATED WEEKLY

This podcast is for the ones who do the work, and the ones who want to understand what that really means. Hosted by Jerry Brazie, a self-made entrepreneur who's built and sold over a dozen companies and generated $450 million in revenue after living on the streets with hookers and heroin addicts at 17, The Kronos Group Podcast is raw, unfiltered, and packed with hard-earned lessons. We talk business, the real stuff. Strategy, hiring, scaling, operations, branding, marketing, real estate, finance, and leadership. But it's not just for business owners. It's for anyone curious about how things get built, what makes entrepreneurs tick, and what success actually costs. This show goes deeper than tactics. We cover marriage, fatherhood, health, risk, mindset, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with betting everything on yourself. Sometimes we bring on other operators and experts. Sometimes we just call it like it is. If you're building something, thinking about building something, or just want to hear how it's really done: this is your show.

    Your Brain Is Not Your Enemy, But It Is the Problem | Dr. Maureen Gibbons on Health for High Achievers

    In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie sits down with Dr. Maureen Gibbons, physician, Ironman triathlete, and founder of AMS Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Mo is the author of Freedom to Shift, and this conversation earns every word of that title. Jerry opens up about one of the rawest chapters of his life: being hospitalized 71 times, carrying 110 extra pounds, living on 19 medications, quitting 200mg of oxymorphone cold turkey after a 25-year addiction, and the moment in November 2021 when he was down four pints of blood and chose not to die. Dr. Mo responds with her own truth: a childhood spent on diets, competing in Ironmans at 160 pounds, hiding a GLP-1 prescription from her husband, and the moment eight hours after her first dose when her brain finally went quiet. What this conversation is really about is identity. What happens when the version of you that got you here is not the version that gets you to the next level. What it costs a high achiever to keep pushing without addressing the foundation. And what becomes possible on the other side when you stop treating your health like a willpower contest. Dr. Mo breaks down her SHIFT framework — Success Happens In Focused Transitions — and why health freedom, time freedom, and income freedom are all connected. They also cover: the most overrated health advice, the one habit high performers refuse to let go of, GLP-1 medications without the media noise, and the single fastest action you can take right now to start getting your energy back.

    Why Most Entrepreneurs Stay Stuck (And Don't Even Know It)

    In Episode #321 of The Kronos Group Podcast, Matt Floyd, Steve Floyd, and Jerry Brazie break down the real reason business owners stay stuck — and why the answer isn't more information, better routines, or copying billionaires. It's ownership. This episode dives into: Why "work-life balance" is misleading The daily reset mindset that elite operators use Why Elon Musk-style routines don't apply to you The dangerous habit of blaming external factors How to eliminate the "mental tax" holding you back Why outside perspective is the ultimate unfair advantage If you're serious about growing your business, your health, and your life — this is required listening.

    What Nobody Tells You About Selling Your Business

    Marvin Karlow has been on both sides of the table. He built a manufacturing business out of distressed private equity, grew it, merged it, and sold it to a publicly traded acquirer. Then he watched too many business owners in the $1M to $50M range get underserved at the exit and decided to do something about it. He runs Raincatcher, and he runs closed bid auctions the way investment banks do it for big deals, except for the business owners everyone else ignores. Jerry and Marvin break down the real M&A process, not the version you read about in Forbes, but the version that actually applies to the business you built. This is a conversation about getting what your company is actually worth. Watch it before you need it.

    The Real Cost: Gas, Nuclear Energy & Why Entrepreneurs Can't Afford to Stay Alone

    Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd break down what's really happening in the economy, why every entrepreneur is feeling it, and what actually separates the business owners who grow through it from the ones who turtle. From gas prices and nuclear energy to accountability, masterminds, and why the room you're in changes everything — this one goes deep. No fluff, no filter, just the real conversation.

    Stop Playing Small: Alan Lazaros on Grit, Identity, and the Real Price of Untapped Potential

    Alan Lazaros was on paper doing everything right at 26. Global top earner, debt paid off, money invested. A head-on crash changed all of it — and forced him to ask the question he had been avoiding: was he actually living at his potential, or just performing for an audience that did not matter? In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie and Alan Lazaros go deep on grit, identity, the compound effect, and why the most successful people rarely look like it online. No filters, no fluff. This episode is part of The Kronos Group Podcast, where experienced operators and founders share real-world lessons on building, scaling, and protecting their businesses.

    Buying vs Starting: The Business Conversation Every Entrepreneur Needs to Hear Right Now

    Baby boomers are retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day and roughly half of all privately owned businesses in the U.S. are owned by boomers with no succession plan. That is the setup for what Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd call the silver tsunami — one of the greatest business acquisition opportunities in history. In this episode, Jerry breaks down how to find these deals, what to actually look for in an acquisition, how to structure a deal without traditional financing, and why the motivated entrepreneur will always beat private equity in a one-to-one sale. They also break down the Grosjean F1 crash in full — the 28 seconds, the 67 Gs, the engineering that saved his life — and tie it all back to how you build something that actually lasts.

    Why You Are Broke Even When Business Is Good | Rocky Lalvani

    Rocky Lalvani grew up watching immigrants build the American dream from scratch and decided early that he wanted to be on the right side of that equation. After years in corporate and a lifetime of studying how money actually works, he now serves as a Chief Profitability Officer helping business owners who look successful from the outside figure out why they feel financially stuck on the inside. In this episode, Rocky and Jerry Brazie break down the three financial drivers behind every business, why most owners only track one of them, what your bookkeeper and CPA are not telling you about your own numbers, and why the lie that more revenue will solve everything might be the most expensive belief a business owner can hold. Practical, straight, and loaded with the kind of insight that turns struggling operators into profitable ones.

    Artemis, Age, and the Math That Makes Winners | Kronos Group Podcast

    You are not tired because you are getting older. You are tired because of the weight you are carrying, and that is a problem with a solution. Jerry Brazie and Steve Floyd bring the real numbers: every extra pound you carry adds up to four pounds of force on your knees with every single step. Over 10,000 steps a day, that adds up to tens of millions of pounds of extra punishment over the course of a year. This episode is a health reality check wrapped in real conversation, and it ends with a breakdown of the Artemis launch that will make you appreciate what humans are capable of when they do the math right.
