Are you running your business, or has your business started running your life?

Drawing on his work around the Hamster Wheel Trap®, Peter explores delegation, leadership, burnout, business systems, enterprise value, and exit planning. Discover why working harder isn't always the answer and how business owners can build companies that operate more effectively without requiring their constant involvement.

Are you spending money on marketing but struggling to see real results?

Many businesses invest in websites, SEO, social media, and marketing agencies without having a clear strategy connecting everything. They stay busy with marketing activities, but they don't always know what's working, what's wasting money, or what they should do next.

In this episode of IN CHARGE, host Paully Cooper speaks with Wes Towers, founder of Uplift 360, who has more than 20 years of experience helping trades, construction, and industrial businesses improve their marketing.

Wes explains why businesses need more than marketing activity to grow. They need clear direction, accountability, and someone who understands how marketing decisions connect to commercial results.

We'll discuss how to avoid wasting your marketing budget, when to hire a marketing manager, how to manage agencies, and how artificial intelligence is changing the way customers discover and choose businesses.

Whether you're running a small business, managing a growing company, or trying to attract more customers, this conversation will help you think more strategically about your marketing.

Because taking charge of your business means knowing where your money is going, making better decisions, and focusing on what actually moves you forward.

Have you ever felt stuck in life, knowing you want something different but struggling to break free from the person you've always been?

In this episode of IN CHARGE, host Paully Cooper sits down with transformational coach, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and author Leo Dulay to explore one powerful idea: You are not your past.

After spending 22 years at AT&T, Leo experienced a major turning point when he was laid off in 2019. What initially felt like a devastating disruption eventually became the beginning of a journey toward self-discovery, personal reinvention, and a new understanding of identity.

Leo shares how a simple statement from his wife—"Maybe it's a you problem"—challenged him to look inward and question the beliefs and identities that were keeping him stuck.

Together, we explore why people remain attached to outdated versions of themselves, how emotional patterns can influence their decisions, and what it takes to begin writing a different story.

Whether you're struggling with uncertainty, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling that you've outgrown your current situation, this conversation will challenge you to reconsider what's possible.

Because taking charge of your life sometimes begins with taking a closer look at the story you've been telling yourself.

You are not required to remain the person your past taught you to be.
