In this episode of The Above The Business Podcast, Bradley is joined by seasoned entrepreneur and systems strategist Nick Berry, a man with over two decades of experience in scaling businesses, optimizing operations, and helping owners get out of their own way.
Nick has built, co-founded, or acquired dozens of small businesses, with multiple successful exits and consistent recognition for growth, client satisfaction, and company culture. His entrepreneurial journey led him to develop the Business Alignment System, a powerful framework now used by thousands of business owners to better align leadership, strategy, and systems.
After exiting his most recent venture, Nick founded Redesigned.Business to help B2B service companies overcome operational inertia and unlock intentional, repeatable growth. He also hosts The Business Owner’s Journey podcast and has co-authored five best-selling books.
If you’re a business owner who feels stuck in the day-to-day, this conversation is for you. Nick shares practical strategies to regain clarity, scale with purpose, and finally build a business that works for you—not the other way around.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to identify and eliminate operational bottlenecks.
- Why alignment is more important than hustle.
- The real reason many businesses plateau—and how to push past it.
- What intentional growth actually looks like.
- The biggest myths business owners believe about scaling.
- How to move from reactive to proactive leadership.
Whether you're running a multi-million dollar firm or just getting your operation off the ground, Nick’s insights will help you build a business that's both profitable and sustainable.
