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

Most founders think raising money is the goal.

It's not.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie sits down with Adam Spector, CEO of Chore and an angel investor backing early-stage companies.

Adam has seen both sides of the table — building companies and investing in them.

In this conversation, we unpack:

• What investors actually look for in founders
• Why most startups fail before they even start
• The difference between a good idea and a real business
• How founders should think about capital, growth, and risk
• Why the environment and the rooms you sit in shape your trajectory

If you're building a company or thinking about raising capital, this conversation will change how you look at entrepreneurship.

• How to build a business using game mechanics
• The ego trap entrepreneurs fall into
• Why storytelling beats marketing tactics
• How to build a 90-day action plan that actually works

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

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.
