Most entrepreneurs talk about scaling business.

Very few talk about surviving 61 hospital visits, losing 100+ pounds, and rebuilding their body from scratch.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie breaks down:

• His hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosis

• 61 hospital visits since 2017

• Losing over 100 pounds on a strict carnivore protocol

• Dropping from 19 medications to 2

• Building a lifestyle of discipline

• Why health is upstream of business, family, and leadership

• And why government inefficiency destroys growth

This isn't motivation. This is lived experience.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie sits down with serial entrepreneur R. Scott Edwards, founder of Laughs Unlimited and operator of multiple comedy clubs, restaurants, travel agencies, and even a tourist submarine.

This is a raw conversation about entrepreneurship beyond hype — what it really takes to build businesses without capital, survive bankruptcy, lead teams, and make decisions under founder pressure.

Scott shares how he:

• Started his first construction company at 17

• Opened a comedy club with no restaurant experience

• Built and sold multiple ventures

• Navigated business failure and personal sacrifice

• Learned leadership through real operator experience

They discuss:

• Why peer advisory groups and surrounding yourself with smarter people matter

• The difference between employees and founders

• Decision-making under uncertainty

• Risk tolerance and resilience

• Balancing business ambition with family life

This episode is for business owners, founders, operators, and anyone navigating the weight of responsibility that comes with leadership.

Entrepreneurship isn't about Lamborghinis or four-hour workweeks. It's about work ethic, sacrifice, failure, and getting back up.

New episodes weekly. This show is designed for business owners who understand that growth is more effective when you're not doing it alone.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd break down what happens when individuals, companies, and institutions lose touch with reality—and why echo chambers are one of the fastest ways to fail.

Using real-world examples from media, business, sports culture, health, and leadership, the conversation cuts through comfort narratives and exposes the hidden cost of avoiding accountability. From the decline of legacy institutions to the personal consequences of ignoring health, discipline, and opposing viewpoints, this episode is about one thing: adapt or fall behind.

Whether you're a business owner, professional, parent, athlete, or someone trying to build a better life, this conversation challenges how you think, who you listen to, and the rooms you choose to sit in.

This is not theory. It's pattern recognition—from people who've lived it.

Betrayal isn't just emotional pain — it's a different kind of trauma that impacts leadership, decision-making, health, trust, and business performance.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, host Jerry Brazie sits down with Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, two-time international bestselling author, and leading researcher on post-betrayal syndrome.

Dr. Debi shares groundbreaking research showing how unhealed betrayal silently sabotages entrepreneurs and executives, often disguising itself as burnout, overworking, anxiety, micromanagement, health issues, and stalled growth.

• Why betrayal is not the same as other trauma

• The 5 stages of betrayal recovery and where most people get stuck

• How unhealed betrayal impacts business performance, trust, and leadership

• Why time and traditional therapy often don't heal betrayal

• The connection between trauma, health, weight, stress, and execution

• How leaders move from survival mode to clarity, strength, and grounded authority

If you're a business owner, executive, or entrepreneur operating under pressure — this episode will challenge how you think about stress, discipline, health, and leadership.

Entrepreneurship isn't viral — it's disciplined.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd break down why building a real business is far more like sports than social media.

Championships aren't won on highlight plays. They're won in practice, repetition, and fundamentals.

This conversation connects lessons from sports, leadership, and life to entrepreneurship — and why consistency, execution, and discipline matter more than motivation or visibility.

• Why business is a long season, not a highlight reel

• How discipline beats motivation every time

• What sports teach us about leadership and pressure

• Why fundamentals matter more in tough markets

• The danger of chasing attention instead of execution

• How real entrepreneurs stay focused long-term

This episode is for business owners who are building something real — even when it feels slow, quiet, or unrecognized.

I've watched a lot of platforms come and go.

What hasn't changed is this: business still moves through relationships.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, I sat down with Daniel Alfon, one of the earliest LinkedIn users, to talk about why most entrepreneurs are frustrated with LinkedIn — and why it's usually not the platform's fault.

Daniel's been on LinkedIn since the early 2000s. He's made the mistakes, chased the metrics, tried the automation — and figured out what actually works for business owners.

Here's the short version: LinkedIn isn't social media. It's the world's largest business network.

In this conversation, we break down:

• Why networking beats posting every time

• The difference between most connected and best connected

• Why vanity metrics don't translate to revenue

• How referrals really happen on LinkedIn

• Why peer groups outperform ads and automation

If you're running a business between $1M–$25M in revenue, this episode will change how you think about LinkedIn — and relationships in general.

New episodes weekly. This show is built for business owners who know growth is better when you're not doing it alone.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie is joined by Matt Floyd and Steve Floyd for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, economic pressure, culture shifts, and what business owners are actually dealing with in 2026.

From global events like Davos and government spending, to the real impact of debt, inflation, and avoided conversations, this episode breaks down how external pressure exposes internal leadership gaps — especially for entrepreneurs running businesses between $1M–$25M in annual revenue.

This isn't political commentary for clicks. It's an operator-level discussion about responsibility, decision-making, and the cost of inaction.

• Why rising debt and inflation amplify leadership mistakes

• How avoided conversations quietly turn into six-figure problems

• What global economic shifts signal for small and mid-sized businesses

• The pressure business owners carry that no one talks about

• Why peer advisory groups matter more in uncertain markets

• Leadership, accountability, and the human cost of ownership

If you're a business owner feeling squeezed from every direction, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.

Many founders build profitable companies — and still feel trapped.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie talks with George Rivera about the hidden cost of success, why owner-dependent businesses burn people out, and how founders can reclaim time without slowing growth.

George shares his personal journey from building a $20M+ business that consumed his life to creating systems that allowed him to step back, double revenue, and be present with his family.

This conversation is essential listening for business owners between $1M–$25M in revenue who want to scale sustainably.
