Bold Business Podcast

The skills you need to run and grow your business differ from those you have for selling and delivering your solution.

Finding repeatable processes offers indications about what levers you have within your business to grow. Once your process is known, the levers become clear, and your focus can be on optimizing the process for a higher return.

Learn about the five types of sales questions you must know regardless of your industry and the importance of committing to your personal skill development.

Jess Dewell talks with Jeremy Miner, Chairman at 7th Level, about knowing what you can control in the sales process and skills that will support your success today and in the future.

All action comes with risk. You can mitigate the risk by breaking down multi-year initiatives into smaller goals. Picking one small goal provides a way to collect information and gain additional knowledge to sort, think through, and prioritize the next best step.

Making time to reset and recharge ensures you maintain the focus needed to face the next uncertainty, how building accountability promotes forward progress, and the importance of endings so the next can begin.

In this program, Jess Dewell talks to John Bertino, Founder of The Agency Guide (TAG), about a journey in developing an idea, achieving proof of concept, and how to reach your long-term goals successfully.

Observe your behaviors. How you ask for help or don't will impact how you can create connections. Sales conversations require an ask, and your personal brand is as strong as your connections.

You are a work in progress, and being proud of your past self is paramount to becoming the person you need to be to achieve all desired goals. Connecting with others helps people better understand you because your words and actions match, allowing space for achieving more. More money. More time. More peace. More accomplishment.

Jess Dewell talks with Ben Albert, founder and owner of Balbert Marketing LLC and The Real Business Connections Network, about the effort it takes to be confident.

Deeply related to business success today, your ability to flex and adapt is more important than ever. In addition, compassion can be interwoven into thriving businesses. To tap into resilience, you must go beyond acknowledging someone else's hardship and attempt to understand the whats and whys of their experience to intentionally choose how to show up for yourself, your business, and the other person.

As you take on bigger goals with more considerable risks, community becomes ever more important, even as it becomes hard to know how today's results impact future outcomes and what is missing from the plans made.

Jess Dewell welcomes David Shriner-Cahn, Smashing the Plateau Community Builder and Podcaster, to discuss how companies can thrive with compassionate and empathetic leadership.

Seemingly urgent daily items can quickly fill up more than your available time.

Committing time to look at the bigger picture is not easy. Yet, the awareness that emerges from strategic initiatives allows you to say "yes" to more of the right things that will help you navigate the urgent and vital.

In this episode, you will hear about how the result of breaking something (that was working) was necessary to grow and how to deal with always present doubt. Learn the importance of knowing what and when to share to guide your team well. Jess Dewell talks with Andy Buyting, Founder & CEO of Tulip Media Group, about doing things differently in your business.

Small, meaningful conversations use existing hope for a more significant positive impact on your future. Breaking down barriers never happens in ideal moments; however, you can still make the most of each interaction.

In this episode of BOLD Business Podcast, you will hear about prompts to evaluate what holds you back, prompts to assess overwhelm, and the fact that people require effort and time to build trust. Meeting people where they are can help you embrace and use what is present to work together on the current set of priorities.

Jess Dewell talks with Houda Elyazgi, Chief Client Officer at Saxum, about taking the time to care and to fully allow yourself and others to have the chance to show up in purposeful conversation.

Growth happens in sprints. Defining the beginning, middle, and end of a business growth sprint is necessary for the wellness of you and your team.

Mental sharpness is critical to participating in and leading high-performance teams. Recognizing what resources are needed to build and grow a high-performance team requires clarity of purpose, navigating uncertainty, and being open to new ideas.

Three of the many takeaways from this program are:

1. Your energy matters for your business success
2. Why high capacity is needed to navigate uncertainty
3. How to do less to achieve more results by having more intention

Jess Dewell talks with Sri Chellappa, President at Engagedly, about how success and high growth only happen when you prioritize your health and personal performance.

When to have the answer and when to seek the answer is a skill that we forever hone. Asking for help means considering the problem, what we want to have happen, and what it will take to make those goals happen.

Listen in to hear about a three part framework for knowing when you have the answer, or when you are seeking help to discover the answer.

The framework includes:

1. clarity and ability to communicate your mission consistently
2. finding the weaknesses and right opportunities to prioritize
3. evaluate where your company was, where it is, and where it is going.

Jess Dewell talks with Edwin Williams, Founder of Zen Hammer, about how to achieve your business goals.

What makes your company different is what will make your company last. High-performance teams know how to problem-solve and be flexible – yet they are high-performing because they understand how to use the combined skill sets at the right time.

Yet, it takes time to discover, learn, and most importantly, know when to lean into the team's strengths. Understanding and applying this knowledge helps develop communication with customers, what expectations to set, and how to quickly assess and choose the right opportunities at the right time.

Jess Dewell talks about building a trust-based partnership with Kevin Kamali and Ali Meshksar, Owners and Co-Founders of EA Home Design. You will hear about the importance of taking time to build trusting relationships, the value of knowing what makes your company unique, and how structured growth allows for adapting to market changes.
