I'm back! #111 is a short episode to introduce the new Think Big, Act Small podcast. After being in business for more than 20 years, I've discovered that many of us who work in small service-based businesses are all too often stuck in our own heads.

So from now on, this podcast will bring you a short and inspiring break from ...

If you’re a leader, I encourage you to schedule and commit to some rest, recovery and reflection this month. Your body, your mind, your fami...

In this episode, I'm going in hard. Too much empathy is killing businesses and sucking the life out of service-based entrepreneurs.
