In this episode, I'm speaking with Lisa González. This is almost a little meta because her playbook or her book is called 'Process! How Discipline and Consistency Will Set You and Your Business Free.'  Like mine, hers is all about creating a playbook for your business. And so a page from Lisa's playbook is a book about playbooks, like my book about playbooks. So this one's fun!  

You're going to like this if you like anything about process and operations. Just hearing Lisa's story, how she grew up in an entrepreneurial family, how she became the EOS implementer that she is now, how she got involved with the community and co-authored this book was awesome. We loved talking about it and having this banter around process.   

After applying all of the EOS principles in her companies and intersecting with Gino Wickman, reading 'Traction,' EOS had made such a profound impact on her businesses that she wanted to share her expertise and process with other growth-minded companies.  

Today she's a speaker, an author, a process fanatic, and she's, like I mentioned, the co-author of this book, 'Process!' So dive in, dig in, take some notes and I hope it helps you better document your processes.

What is the appropriate amount of notice an employee should give before they leave? 2 weeks, 1 month, 8 months!?! 8 months might sound rare, but I actually received an 8 month heads up from one of our senior leaders on the team. Super generous! It got me thinking, what is the right amount of notice and what should this transition out of your company look like?

In this episode, Jonathan Ronzio joined me for a live discussion on recapping our incredible, annual small business event, Playbook. So this year, Playbook 2022 was epic! We had something like 5,000 virtual people registered and this was the third year we've put the event on. So, as always, we put together incredible speakers and this lineup consisted of marketing guru Seth Godin, Allyson and Wes Felix of Saysh, Montell Jordan, and tons, and tons more!

In this conversation we casually break it down, talk about the behind the scenes and biggest takeaways from those speakers. All from the perspective of the hosts of the event, which was my brother, Jonathan and I. For those of you who don't already know, Jonathan Ronzio is Trainual's CMO. So the two of us were lucky enough to be on stage together, having a lot of fun, talking to some incredible guests. Now we're going to break it down for all of you here in this podcast.

Empathy isn't learned overnight, but think about how you can start seeing the different perspectives or point of views in your business. Practical tips to do that in today's episode.

In this episode, I'm talking with Diane Primo. This episode is all about why a purpose-driven business matters, what is a purpose-driven business, and how to make your company more purpose-driven internally and externally. So if you're thinking about purpose and mission and vision, this is a great episode to really unpack what those terms are all about.

Diane Primo is the CEO of the Purpose Brand Agency, which is an award-winning Chicago-based public relations, branding, and digital marketing firm. Diane's focus on impact marketing stems from the belief that brands must be relevant, they must be purpose-driven, and must be committed to consumers if they want to be successful today. She's got a new book out, and the book is called Adapt: Scaling Purpose in a Divisive World, which provides a framework that A-D-A-P-T to understand corporate purpose and a way to build a more resilient, adaptable business with insights from some huge Fortune 500 brands, which she gets into in this podcast.

Like I said, if you're thinking about purpose and you want to learn how to put it to work in your business to make a longer term, more sustainable business that inspires and motivates your people and your customers, this is a great conversation. I hope you enjoy it.

Read ADAPT: Scaling Purpose in a Divisive World.
