The Growing Business Collective Show

Pregnancy, colic, migraines, burnout, better sleep, better focus. Dr. Bethany and Dr. Devin McMullen of Northern Peak Chiropractic unpack how a nervous system first practice serves everyone from two day old babies to 90 year olds.

You will learn what Webster Technique looks like for moms, how Torque Release Technique can calm the system, and why objective nervous system scans (thermal, muscle tone, HRV) change the care plan conversation.

You will also hear the real startup story: moving to Watertown, going door to door, booking 75 new patients before opening, building culture, finding a mentor, and making care convenient with flexible scheduling.

Marketing is one big experiment and Reid Vander Veen has run a lot of them.

From fractional CMO to full-time at Ruffland Kennels, aronia berry farmer, teacher, dad of 4, and lifelong learner, Reid shares unfiltered wisdom on:

How to actually grow a business (and why most people get it wrong)
Why “fake it till you make it” is toxic advice
Why every marketer is just a scientist experimenting on the real world
What to do when you're 25... or 55... and still figuring it out
How humility, curiosity, and grit create real career momentum

This is more than a business interview. It’s a call to lead better, think deeper, and never stop being a student.

Sister Barb Younger, Prioress of Mother of God Monastery and Board President of The Village of Harmony Hill, shares the extraordinary story behind one of South Dakota’s most innovative and values-driven community projects. In this conversation, she unpacks the monastery’s legacy, why the sisters donated an entire square mile of land, and how it’s becoming a home for affordable housing, education, child care, and aging with purpose.

From opening the only Challenger Learning Center in the region to building a 225 seat daycare and state-of-the-art senior care neighborhoods, this is a story about foresight, faith, and the kind of leadership our world needs more of.

This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a blueprint.
Sister Barb and the Benedictine sisters saw their chapter closing and instead of retreating, they leaned in. They’re rewriting what legacy looks like. Turning sacred land into a multi-generational, multi-purpose community rooted in hospitality, human dignity, and collaboration.

Whether you're in city planning, education, senior care, or you're just looking for proof that small communities can dream big. This video will move you.

What does it take to become a fishing legend?

In this episode of the Growing Business Collective, Nash sits down with Ted Takasaki. A Professional Walleye Angler, National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Famer, and record holder for the heaviest five-fish tournament bag in history. But Ted's story isn’t just about fish; it’s about risk, relationships, reinvention, and resilience.

From walking away from a stable career at Hewlett-Packard to running one of the biggest names in fishing tackle (Lindy), Ted shares the business lessons that helped him double revenue, quadruple profit, and carve out a one-of-a-kind brand in a rapidly changing industry.

He also talks about:
* How he transitioned from sales to sponsorships
* The secret to 30 years of brand loyalty
* Why friends buy from friends (and how he lives that every day)
* The power of forward-facing sonar and what’s next for the fishing world
* What every aspiring angler, YouTuber, and business owner needs to know today

Whether you're a fisherman, entrepreneur, or someone chasing your calling, this is a masterclass in longevity and leadership.

When Stuart Stein took over his family’s business in February 2020, he had no idea what was waiting around the corner. Just weeks after officially becoming the 3rd-generation owner of ESCO Manufacturing and Stein Sign Display, the world shut down—and Stuart was suddenly faced with leading a 100+ person company through a global pandemic.

But instead of backing down, he leaned in.

In this interview with the Growing Business Collective, Stuart shares the raw story of navigating uncertainty, leading with purpose, and turning that chaotic first year into the second-best in company history. From the origins of a patented steel-bending machine to becoming a statewide leader in digital billboards, Stuart walks us through how he’s honoring his family’s legacy while building something even bigger.

You’ll hear how he's expanding into Sioux Falls, how he maintains culture across decades of employees, and how his 4:38 a.m. routine fuels it all. This isn’t just a story about signs—it’s about resilience, risk, leadership, faith, and never forgetting your "why."

If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader trying to find clarity in the chaos, this one’s for you.

In Part 2 of our sit-down with the founders of Black Kanyon, we go deeper into what truly powers their business acquisitions, growth philosophy, and small-town roots.

They share the full backstory behind Matchless Plastics—their first acquisition—and how walking away from the deal actually set them up to win long-term. They open up about dealmaking challenges, radical candor in leadership, their “Life-Changing Opportunity Roadmap,” and the belief that trust always beats spreadsheets.

For any entrepreneur, investor, or leader thinking about how to build something meaningful (and profitable) without selling your soul—this one’s a must-watch.

Black Kanyon isn’t just building businesses. They’re building futures—one opportunity at a time.
