Giants Helping Giants

Are you stuck working in your business instead of growing it?

In this episode of Giants Helping Giants, Lois Wyant sits down with business coach Byron Low, who has over 25 years of experience and has started more than 20 businesses—including working in the trades.

If you're a home service business owner, entrepreneur, or local business trying to grow, this episode breaks down why marketing alone won’t fix your business—and what actually will.

You’ll learn:

• Why most business owners stay stuck in technician mode
• The mindset shift from worker to leader that changes everything
• How to start working on your business instead of in it
• The real reason your business may not be growing
• How to build a team and stop doing everything yourself
• How AI and systems can help you never miss another lead

This conversation builds on principles from The E-Myth Revisited and shows you how to apply them in real life—especially in home service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical.

If you want more profit, more freedom, and a business that runs without you, this episode is for you.

Why do some businesses instantly connect with customers… while others get ignored?

In this episode of Giant Helping Gants, Lois Wyant talks with Sabine Kvenberg, known as the “Storytelling Dame,” about how storytelling can transform the way you communicate, market, and sell your services.

You’ll learn why people remember stories more than facts, how storytelling creates emotional connection, and how to use simple stories in your sales conversations, presentations, and marketing.

Sabine also shares a powerful real-life example of how storytelling led to a $10,000 client from a single talk—and how you can do the same in your business.

You will also learn how AI tools are changing the way businesses research prospects, personalize conversations, and identify customers who are ready to buy.
