Business Inspires

We talk with Dr. Dan Ceballos from Advanced Wellness Center, who, before moving to Ohio, practiced chiropractic for two years in central Massachusetts. Dr. Dan is one of the members of the Advanced Wellness Team.

Advanced Wellness Center is owned by Dr. Troy Walker and Dr. Heather Walker, who have practiced together in Columbus since 2003.

Their goal at Advanced Wellness Center is to serve the community the unique clinical services provided only by Chiropractors. They correct vertebral subluxations of the spine to allow your body to heal and stay active as we age!

Dr. Dan goes into detail on what makes Advanced Wellness Center's care different, and unique for their patients.

And get ready to cry a bit, as Dr. Dan relates a very moving happy outcome that happened with one of his patients.

We talk with Kip Morse, President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Central Ohio.

The BBB is celebrating its 100 year anniversary in 2020.

The BBB has about 2 million consumers that visit the local website each year to find businesses that they can trust and find out about scams or bad business practices that might be happening in the community.

The membership years ago changed to an accreditation, which is an evaluation based on standards. The BBB has a process to evaluate businesses on standards relative to their advertising practices in general and on the internet, their licensing, how they handle complaints, whether they were previously associated with a company that had problems. All this to set standards for how to build trust with the consumers.

During the first weeks of the COVID-19 quarantine, there were collaborations with chambers, associations and some of the government agencies. The idea was that the BBB wanted to be able to drive the public quickly to the resources that they need.

Since the pandemic shutdown, now moving forward, every small business is now a startup and has to think that way. The hustle and the grind. Every small business is in that world now.

Businesses are really trying to hyper focus on where they can be most relevant and valuable, and have the biggest impact. You need to focus on, and really take a hard look at who your customer base is. Focus on them. Care for them.

We welcome George Cleary, Found and Owner and Aaron Enfinger, General Manager, of The Cleary Company.

Now at just a year at their new location and showroom, we talk about how their 26 years in business helped them weather the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Cleary Company was classified as an essential business. But they knew they had a huge responsibility in keeping their clients and field employees safe. This included lots of research on safety measures, and following the suggested state of Ohio guidelines.

The office staff worked from home, as did the designers. Collaboration took place virtually, as did client presentations of the design work for approval.

As we all were at home more, we all took notice of improvements we needed. And The Cleary Company are seeing home projects still on the rise, including outdoor projects.

What did they learn during the pandemic? With the help of Action Coach Columbus, they saw opportunities to fine tune services they were sending away. The bath2BATH division in one example.

Joining us in this episode is Peg Buehrle and Michelle Calcasola from ActionCOACH Columbus.

We have Peg and Michelle on for this episode because of their insights on how they help businesses see opportunities, rather than doom and gloom, during economic downturns. The business community as a whole is experiencing this now during the COVID-19 pandemic.

How do you effectively work from home? From the business perspective, it's about accountability. Employee perspective, it's about balance of work and family within your home.

Recommendations for small businesses with employees working from home? Communicate frequently. Have small huddles daily.

Small businesses need to stick to your vision and goals. Don't compare what we are going through now to the Great Recession. Plus, look for government relief resources available now.

What is imperative right now is for business owners to focus on the future. From the "essential businesses" perspective, there is still cash flow, but is still a stressful time. You still have employees, but you have to keep them safe.

Marketing tactics during this time? Has to be changed, your message has to shift. Can your business pivot in the short term to keep employees and cash flow coming?

This is changing the way we look at our individual businesses. This is and can be an opportunity for your business.

Why continue being a chamber member? You're not alone, it is community. Plus, there may be chamber resources at your fingertips that you never realized were as valuable as they are right now.

Stay tuned through the end of the episode to hear about a special offer from ActionCOACH Columbus happening in early April 2020.

The business raised $25,000 through Kickstarter in 2015 toward the expansion and spent last year shopping for space until it landed on the Edgehill spot near Grandview Yard.

After kicking around a few possibilities Lindsay Remley and husband/co-owner/co-founder Alex Remley centered on Edgework Creative. She said the multiple meanings of edge – literal edge work that is done in the shop, pushing the edges, even the street name of Edgehill – felt like a natural fit. The creative part speaks for itself.

We're a tight-knit team specializing in handcrafted furniture, custom fixtures, making our clients happy and having a good time.
