Growing Your Business Podcast

In this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Catherine Brenneman, co-owner of RoofHero and StormHero . With 14 years of experience in the roofing industry, Catherine shares how her female-owned, process-driven business sets itself apart in a crowded Texas market . Unlike traditional "storm chasers," RoofHero operates with background-checked W-2 employees instead of commission-based salespeople, prioritizing customer respect, transparent pricing, and sustainable, impact-resistant materials . Catherine breaks down why homeowners should contact a trusted roofer before their insurance company after a storm, how her technology-backed approach earned RoofHero a spot on six of the top ten Texas insurance carrier lists, and how sister company StormHero protects families with residential lightning systems and storm shelters .   https://www.myroofhero.com/   Key Takeaways A Female Perspective in Home Services: Catherine entered the roofing industry after noticing contractors often ignored female household decision-makers and underserved vulnerable groups like senior citizens . Employee-Based Quality Control: RoofHero operates with background-checked W-2 employees and dedicated on-site construction managers rather than 1099 commission-driven sales reps . Insurance Carrier Trust: RoofHero's strict internal processes and deep financial vetting earned them a spot on six of the top ten Texas insurance carriers' managed repair programs . Call a Roofer First, Not Insurance: After a storm, homeowners should consult a trusted roofer before filing a claim to properly evaluate non-obvious local damage and navigate complex claims . Commitment to Sustainability: Every roof installed by RoofHero uses at least an impact-resistant shingle to lower premiums, reduce landfill waste, and survive severe Texas hail . Beyond Roofing with StormHero: Partnering with Roy Ponder, Catherine co-founded StormHero to protect families from unpredictable weather with residential lightning protection and storm shelters . Instant Digital Quotes: RoofHero provides instant, binding estimates directly on their website for homeowners who prefer a modern, hassle-free ordering experience .   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

In this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Tony K. Silver, a global, award-winning LinkedIn profile strategist and speaker. Trained directly by LinkedIn master trainers, Tony reveals how professionals can unlock the full potential of LinkedIn by transforming their profiles into client-magnet assets. Rather than relying on generic templates or surface-level tricks, Tony breaks down the actual mechanics of the platform, including the vital "Top Card" real estate, how to write an engaging About section that converts, and how to stay ahead of LinkedIn's evolving algorithm and AI detection software. Contact:  https://tonyksilver.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyksilver/     Key Takeaways Master the 5–7 Second "Top Card" Rule: Visitors evaluate your profile almost instantly. Ensure your banner, headshot, and headline immediately communicate who you are and how you help, convincing users to scroll down rather than click away. Shift Your "About" Section from Self-Focused to Prospect-Focused: Avoid listing accomplishments starting with "I." Instead, address your target audience's specific pain points and ask questions that encourage them to click "...see more." Humanize Your Content to Beat the AI Algorithm: While AI can be helpful for research, LinkedIn actively detects unedited AI content. To gain algorithmic reach, you must humanize your posts and ensure they reflect your genuine, authentic voice. Engage via Meaningful Comments: Leaving thoughtful, 50+ character comments on other creators' posts—referencing key points or embedded media—can boost your visibility almost as effectively as publishing your own posts. Formatting for Readability: Keep paragraphs short and avoid overwhelming walls of text in your About section to prevent user drop-off. Focus on Client Outcomes: Profile optimization isn't about one-size-fits-all templates; it should be custom-tailored to deliver a clear return on investment (ROI) based on your individual business goals. The "BT" vs. "AT" Transformation: Optimizing your profile properly moves you from being a "well-kept secret" to actively receiving high-value contracts and inbound proposals.   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Networking shouldn't feel like a waste of time . On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Donnie Boivin, CEO and Founder of Success Champions Networking (SCN) . Donnie breaks down why traditional, consumer-focused networking groups fail mid-market B2B professionals—and how creating curated, high-level rooms allows business owners selling 5- to 8-figure deals to build genuine, ROI-driven relationships . Whether you want to learn the 6 principles of the "Champions Code," understand why networking is inherently "selfish" in the best way possible, or find out how to keep top-of-mind awareness in today's fast-paced digital environment, this conversation delivers actionable insights for modern business owners . Guest  Contact:  https://successchampionnetworking.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/donnieboivin/ Key Takeaways Curated B2B Rooms Over Consumer Groups: High-level decision-makers (such as CEOs of $40M companies) rarely attend standard local networking functions; SCN creates virtual chapters specifically for professionals selling into mid-market enterprise client departments . The "Champions Code": Donnie replaces passive wall values with six actionable codes: Be Yourself, Family First, Go Break Shit Trying New Things, Teach What You Learn, Be Your Own Champion, and Don't Be a Dick . The Selfish Nature of Mutual-Win Networking: Effective networking requires driving value for others because their growth fuels your success—while stepping away from one-way relationships that don't add mutual value over time . 7-Day Attention Spans: Driven by short-form media, top-of-mind awareness now decays in 7 days rather than 30, making structured weekly virtual touchpoints essential for maintaining mindshare . "Wingman" Networking Strategy: High-ticket B2B sales cycles take 6 to 18 months; business leaders achieve higher ROI when working events, conferences, and introductions as strategic partners . Turnkey Leadership Systems: SCN chapters utilize structured leadership roles (Education Chair, Member Chair, Chapter Mentor) supported by short self-paced video modules to deliver consistent chapter ROI . Action-Oriented Working Summits: The annual Badass Business Summit centers on real-time sales execution and business development implementation on-site rather than passive note-taking .   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Are you paying too much for electricity in Texas?  On the latest episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Brian Colaianni, founder of Anchor Energy, breaks down how Texas's deregulated energy market works—and why blindly sticking with your current power provider could be costing you hundreds of dollars extra every year ! From navigating high summer rates to locking in multi-year savings, Brian shares how he helps homeowners and business owners shop top energy retailers—100% free of charge . GUEST CONTACT https://www.anchor.energy/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-colaianni-489a5040/   Key Takeaways Independent Energy Shopping: Anchor Energy helps consumers navigate Texas's confusing deregulated energy market by comparing rates and contract terms across trusted retailers . Avoid Default Provider Traps: New residents and homebuyers often accept the first energy recommendation they receive, leading to overpriced energy rates (often over $0.20 per kWh) . Timing the Market: Historical summer months (June–September) feature higher rates . Shopping between October and May yields better pricing, though signing an 18- or 30-month contract in summer can shift future renewals into lower-cost seasons . Understanding Bill Costs: Electric bills consist of fixed transmission/distribution charges (TDU/ERCOT) and energy usage charges . If your base energy charge exceeds $0.10 per kWh, better rates are likely available . Free Brokerage Services: Anchor Energy's consultation services are completely free to the customer; compensation is paid directly by the energy retailers without monthly service fees . Veteran & First Responder Support: As a 15-year Navy veteran, Brian offers specialized rate options and potential discounts for veterans, first responders, and teachers . Future-Proofing Against Rate Hikes: With rising national energy trends and increased demand from data centers, locking in a 3-year term helps safeguard against future rate increases .   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Building confidence, discipline, and community through martial arts.  Growth happens when we challenge ourselves to step beyond our comfort zones . On this episode of Growing Your Business, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Tracy Dickey, a 5th-degree black belt and owner of East Plano Martial Arts . With over two decades of training, Tracy leads a traditional Isshin-ryu karate school that seamlessly integrates judo (taught with Olympian guest instructors) and Brazilian jiu-jitsu to offer comprehensive, all-around self-defense . From hosting inclusive multi-generational family classes to adapting training for students with physical disabilities and neurodivergence, East Plano Martial Arts emphasizes individual growth, heart-centered mentorship, and accessible pricing for every family   GUEST CONTACT and SOCIALS: https://www.eastplanokarate.com/home https://www.facebook.com/EastPlanoMartialArts https://www.linkedin.com/company/east-plano-martial-arts/ Trial Offer: Free initial trial class available by reaching out through their website .

Multi-Generational Family Classes: The school offers unique family classes on Mondays and Thursdays, allowing parents, grandparents, and children to train together in a shared, supportive environment . Inclusion Across All Ages and Abilities: Training is fully customizable for students aged 5 to 105 . The studio works around injuries, physical disabilities (including students in wheelchairs or using mobility aids), and neurodivergent conditions like autism . No "Bought" Belts: Rank advancement occurs three times a year based on true personal development, heart, and dedication rather than competition or costly fees . Accessible and Family-Friendly Pricing: Designed to serve single parents and large families, the school offers tiered family discounts and affordable rates to ensure cost is never a barrier to entry . Community-Minded Culture: Beyond martial arts instruction, the studio engages in monthly community giveback initiatives, such as collecting essential supplies for local homeless shelters . A Risk-Free Entry: Prospective students can take advantage of a free introductory trial class and flexible scheduling to discover what fits their family best .   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Are you waiting too long to check off your travel bucket list?  After 25 years of owning a successful executive recruiting firm, Jim Warner pivoted to his true passion: helping people experience the world as the owner of Voyage Crafter, a Cruise Planners franchise . In this episode of Growing Your Business, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Jim to discuss how a dedicated travel advisor takes the mystery, stress, and guesswork out of vacation planning . From navigating flight snags in Tahiti to understanding why trip interruption and medical travel insurance are non-negotiables when leaving the country, Jim shares how expert guidance turns travel risks into seamless, unforgettable experiences . Jim Warner Contact Info: https://www.voyagecrafter.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-warner-0a749b20/ https://www.facebook.com/VoyagecrafterJSW https://www.instagram.com/cruise_planners_jsw/   Key Takeaways Full-Service Travel Planning: Voyage Crafter (a Cruise Planners franchise) handles everything from ocean and river cruises to land tours, rail journeys, safaris, and all-inclusive resorts, allowing clients to simply pack and go . The Importance of Travel Insurance: Domestic health insurance rarely covers medical emergencies abroad, and trip interruption insurance covers ballooning costs for extra hotel nights and transport if flights are grounded by strikes or delays . Global Support When Things Go Wrong: Having a dedicated travel agent provides a direct lifeline during travel disruptions, ensuring stranded clients get rebooked on alternative flights regardless of time zone differences . Cruising and Rail Options for Every Preference: Travel isn't limited to standard ocean liners or flights; options include luxury small-ship sailings (like 5-masted ships), domestic river paddle-wheelers, and scenic sleeper-car rail trips across North America . Leveraging Franchise Group Rates: As a Cruise Planners franchise owner, Jim has access to locked-in group pricing and reserved cabin blocks years in advance, often saving clients significant money compared to booking online last minute . Don't Wait to Travel: The best time to start planning bucket-list trips is right now—booking 12 to 24 months out ensures the best inventory, lower pricing, and the time needed to build out a seamless itinerary .   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

On this episode of Growing Your Business, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Tracy Dickey, founder of Empty Hand Open Heart .

Leading by Example: Training over 20 hours a week at age 65, Tracy demonstrates firsthand that overcoming fear and committing to personal physical strength is a lifelong journey .   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Are you working in your business or on your business?  Many talented small business owners get trapped by the day-to-day grind—baking the bread, fixing the pipes, or managing fires—while completely losing track of the financial foundation that keeps them afloat . In this episode of Growing Your Business, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Alan Thompson, Account Success Manager at Get Better Bookkeeping . Originally from Zambia, Alan brings a global perspective and an MBA background to the financial challenges facing American entrepreneurs . At Get Better Bookkeeping, the goal isn't just to prepare you for tax season; it's to provide the strategic "time-outs" and required financial reviews that actively educate you on margins and cost of goods sold . Discover how true financial partnership can take a business out of debt and turn chaos into long-term, stable growth . https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-thompson-mba-588127152/ https://getbetterbookkeeping.com/   Key Takeaways The Trap of the Small Business Owner: Entrepreneurs frequently find themselves stuck working in the business doing tasks they didn't anticipate—like running numbers and problem-solving—instead of working on growing their actual passion . Working Out of a Job Through Education: A successful financial partner values client education . By teaching clients about margins, cost of goods sold, and cash flow, they empower the business owner to become self-sufficient and grow steadily . Mandatory Financial Meetings: Get Better Bookkeeping sets itself apart by requiring recurring financial meetings . Rather than just handing over statements, they take strategic time-outs to break down labor costs, cost of goods sold, and upcoming investments . Sales Don't Solve Systemic Issues: When facing a cash flow fire, creative entrepreneurs often assume that driving more sales is the answer . However, long-term stability requires stepping back, analyzing the data, and tweaking operational efficiencies . Focusing on the Basics: Financial stability does not require over-complicated strategies; it comes from consistently getting the simple things right—adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing transparently . A Safe Place for the Dream: Small business owners frequently have no one to wrestle through ideas with . A dedicated bookkeeping advocate provides a secure sounding board to evaluate risky investments (like major equipment purchases) safely before spending cash .   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

What story are you telling yourself about your business?  When entrepreneurs face stagnation, the barrier often isn't the market or the product—it's the subconscious limiting beliefs built up over a lifetime . In this episode of Growing Your Business, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Jodie Wallace, founder of 3D Perspectives, LLC, a business and life coach with over 25 years of experience . As a Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner trained directly under industry pioneer Christina Hall, Jodie breaks down her "3D" methodology: Discovery, Direction, and Decision . Learn how internal conflict resolution can dismantle procrastination, align your mind and spirit, and provide tangible, measurable growth for your business journey .  Contacts: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodiewallace/ https://jodiewallace.com/ https://www.facebook.com/3dperspectivesllc   Complimentary Discovery Session: Accessible by reaching out directly to explore NLP and coaching options with zero sales pressure. Jodie also loves to communicate via text messages.   Key Takeaways The Power of the 3Ds: True transformation requires three phases: Discovery (where you are vs. where you want to go), Direction (the strategy to get there), and Decision (the absolute commitment to change) . Subconscious Stories Dictate Success: Procrastination and business stagnation are rarely about the external situation; they are driven by subconscious, limiting beliefs (e.g., "I'm not good enough") formed between ages 2 and 14 . Internal Conflict Resolution: Instead of treating internal friction as one side being right and the other wrong, effective NLP uncovers the positive purpose of both sides (like safety) and integrates them to create a unified path forward . The Importance of an Evidence Journal: Subconscious conditioning relies on proof . By tracking actions and logging exactly how calm and confident you felt afterward, you build a written catalog of success that trains the brain for future wins . Measurable Value Scales: Utilizing a 1-to-5 clarity scale at the end of a session ensures clients leave with a concrete sense of value, allowing the coach to pivot immediately if the client doesn't yet feel at a top "5" . A Spiritual, No-Pressure Lane: Operating purely out of a calling rather than financial strain or competition changes the coaching dynamic entirely . Discerning who truly fits your practice—and referring out those who need clinical counseling—builds deep professional trust Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

How well do you actually know your numbers?  Many small business owners are busier than ever and charging competitively, yet still find themselves asking: "Why am I not making money at the end of the day?" In this episode of Growing Your Business, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Harley Liechty, founder of Get Better Bookkeeping. Transitioning from business coaching to financial services, Harley has scaled his firm to support over 125 businesses nationwide using a simple but rigorous approach: weekly account updates and mandatory financial review meetings. Discover how moving past basic "number crunching" to strategic advisory can boost your net profitability by 4% year-over-year—and how human-led consulting will remain irreplaceable in the age of AI. Guest Contacts: https://getbetterbookkeeping.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-harley-liechty/   Key Takeaways The Power of Weekly Touchpoints: Keeping books updated at least once a week ensures business owners get the real-time facts they need to make immediate, critical decisions instead of waiting months for outdated reports. Review Meetings are Mandatory: Data is worthless if it isn't analyzed. Requiring regular financial review meetings (via Zoom or in-office) bridges the gap between raw numbers and strategic action. A Profitability-First Approach: While sales might stagnate during tough economic cycles, Get Better Bookkeeping's typical clients see an average net profitability improvement of 4% year-over-year simply by optimizing overhead and understanding their margins. The Shift from "Number Cruncher" to Advisor: The accounting industry is evolving. Modern firms must elevate their services to consultative advisory, especially as automation tools handle the basic transactional minutiae. AI is a Tool, Not a Replacement: While AI technologies (like ChatGPT or Claude) can process thousands of financial transactions in minutes, they cannot replace the human interaction, trust, and customized advice that business owners rely on. Take Control of What You Can: In unpredictable economic climates (what Harley calls the "Screaming 20s"), the single best move an entrepreneur can make is to take absolute control of their business financials and stay humble enough to ask for expert help.   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Are you an introvert who dreads putting yourself out there? Or a business owner trapped in survival mode, just trying to hire anyone who can help? You need to hear this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles . In this powerful conversation, host Buddy Broyles brings together two incredible female leaders: Barbara Giesing, HR Consultant at BAGHR Consulting, and Traci Poe, founder of the Public Speakers Growth Hub and Communicate Great . Together, they share the raw truth about moving past fear, embracing collaboration over cutthroat competition, and launching their highly anticipated collaborative book, "Oh Yes, I Did!" . From Traci's journey of transforming from a timid introvert to a college public speaking professor, to Barbara's practical secrets on how clear job descriptions act as a company "drama exterminator"—this episode is packed with absolute gold for any entrepreneur looking to rise . Tune in to discover why your story is worth taking the stage for, and how to start speaking truth into your business! https://communicategreat.online/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/traci-poe-communicate-great/ https://www.baghrconsulting.com/ linkedin.com/in/barbaragiesing   Key Takeaways The Power of "Oh Yes, I Did!": Born out of the mastermind group "Oh Yes, I Can," Traci Poe partnered with publisher Amy Vogel to create a collaborative book featuring diverse women entrepreneurs . Officially launching at their Summer Summit on July 17th, the project features distinct strategies and stories to help women flourish and rise to their dream businesses . Overcoming the Introvert Barrier: Both Barbara and Traci openly identify as deep introverts who faced intense anxiety about putting themselves visible in the market . They emphasize that your message and story matter enough to overcome fear and "take the stage," whether virtually or physically . Shifting from Competition to Collaboration: Real growth happens when entrepreneurs view each other as collaborators rather than competitors . Teaming up allows business owners to support one another, share resources, and respectfully borrow each other's audiences to propel both brands forward . Job Descriptions as "Drama Exterminators": Barbara highlights that failing to write clear job descriptions is a massive small business mistake . Putting expectations in writing eliminates workplace drama, establishes baseline measures for success, and helps you accurately determine if you truly need full-time, part-time, or seasonal skillsets . The High Cost of Survival-Mode Hiring: Hiring an employee out of pure survival mode without a clear, written plan quickly drains your time and money . If the arrangement doesn't work out, a clear structure allows both parties to part ways respectfully and transparently, rather than letting silent frustrations build up to a blowout firing . Communicating with Curiosity: When an employee handles a task unexpectedly, a leader should address it immediately with curiosity rather than anger . Asking, "Can you explain your thought process?" keeps lines of communication open and prevents employees from solidifying bad habits . Delegating Your Business Deficits Early: To successfully build confidence when launching a business, Barbara advises identifying your personal weaknesses immediately . Delegating technical IT security and hiring a bookkeeper early on frees up an owner's mental capacity to excel in their actual zones of genius .   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

In this touching and deeply insightful episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Sunil Malkani and Tiffany Moore, the heart and minds behind CareBuilders at Home Plano . Both Sunil and Tiffany transitioned into senior care after navigating the intensely challenging, emotional road of caring for their own aging parents . Today, they are redefining senior care in the North Texas area with a highly specialized, concierge-level model built on true empathy .

The roofing industry is changing fast, and homeowners are facing higher deductibles, more insurance exclusions, and greater risk when choosing a contractor. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Bradley Sanders of Triumph Roofing shares how his company has built a reputation on trust, education, and quality craftsmanship over 17 years in business. From navigating insurance claims to helping homeowners avoid costly mistakes, Bradley explains why treating people like family has become Triumph Roofing's greatest competitive advantage. https://www.triumphroofing.net/ Key Takeaways Trust is everything in roofing. With thousands of roofing companies competing in North Texas, Triumph Roofing differentiates itself by treating customers like they matter and serving as their advocate. Insurance claims are becoming more challenging. Homeowners are seeing deductibles increase from hundreds of dollars to tens of thousands, while coverage continues to shrink. Most roofing projects are storm-related. Bradley estimates that about 95% of their business comes from hail damage, storms, or leaks discovered after severe weather. Quality beats cheap every time. Triumph Roofing focuses on complete tear-offs, proper inspections, and long-term solutions rather than cutting corners to offer the lowest price. Education comes before the sale. Bradley encourages homeowners to seek advice, ask questions, and avoid rushed decisions—even if it doesn't immediately lead to business for his company. Strong culture creates strong results. Triumph Roofing emphasizes integrity, curiosity, compassion, passion, and family as daily operating values rather than words posted on a wall. The right crew makes all the difference. Consistency, training, and maintaining long-term crews help ensure quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.   Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

What happens when a doctor or a daycare tells you your child is just "acting up," but your parental instinct knows it's something deeper? For author and cognitive tool specialist Tilda Tart, that question became the driving force of her life after her son was removed from multiple daycares and eventually diagnosed with Asperger's at just four years old . On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Tilda shares her deeply personal journey of navigating high-functioning autism, fighting for her son's needs, and learning how to decode the hidden sensory struggles of neurodivergent children . She also explains Blue Butterfly Writing LLC's unique approach to supporting special needs families, combining her interactive dual-perspective workbooks with custom, 504-compliant "cognitive tools" designed to help children find their calm in a chaotic world .

While many high-functioning children aren't diagnosed until their teenage years, catching it at age four allowed Tilda to address her son's needs during his brain's most critical developmental window . Never ignore your parental intuition. Tilda urges parents to never blindly accept a passive medical opinion or dismiss complex neurological struggles as simple behavioral problems . Rebranding sensory assets creates accessibility. By replacing the word "toy" with "cognitive tool," Tilda successfully navigated strict school regulations to ensure her son could legally bring calming sensory items into his classroom under IEP and 504 plans . Workbooks can bridge the communication gap. Blue Butterfly Writing's flagship book, For Little Sunshine, uses a unique side-by-side layout featuring the child's perspective on one page and the mother's perspective alongside medical context on the other . Intentionality is key for sensory regulation. Tilda advises using specific tactile assets—like her signature glow-in-the-dark push pop ball or noise-canceling headphones—only during high-stress moments to effectively train a child's brain to associate the tool with calming down Adversity can trigger your true purpose. After being laid off from a demanding 28-year career, Tilda used her sudden transition away from corporate life as the perfect catalyst to write her books and launch her advocacy business full-time .  Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

One of Ryan's biggest specialties is helping business owners with kids use legal tax strategies like paying their children appropriately through the business to create long-term financial advantages.

Talking about end-of-life planning isn't easy—but according to Lena Killion of MLK Pre Arrangements, it's one of the most meaningful gifts you can give your family. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Lena shares how pre-arranged funeral planning removes emotional stress, locks in today's pricing, and ensures your final wishes are honored. From helping veterans access benefits to guiding families through difficult conversations, Lena's work focuses on compassion, clarity, and protecting families when they need it most. It's a powerful reminder that planning ahead isn't about death—it's about taking care of the people you love. Contact: https://mlkprearrangements.com/ Key Takeaways from Lena Killion Pre-planning is a gift to your family. Lena emphasizes that making funeral and burial arrangements ahead of time removes emotional and financial stress from loved ones during one of life's hardest moments. Planning early locks in today's prices. Funeral and cremation costs rise about 4–6% every year, so securing arrangements in advance protects families from dramatically higher costs later. Veterans have unique benefits—but paperwork matters. Lena helps veterans and their families navigate benefits like those tied to a DD-214, ensuring they receive what they're entitled to while planning their final arrangements. The process is simpler than people expect. A conversation with Lena can take as little as 20–30 minutes, helping families choose burial or cremation options, select funeral homes, and set flexible payment plans. Clear planning prevents family conflict. Without written plans, loved ones may disagree about final wishes—Lena shares real stories showing how documented decisions protect families from difficult disputes.

Owning a pool should mean relaxation—not frustration. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Brad Williams of Clear Choice Pool Care shares what most homeowners don't realize about pool ownership—from the science behind clean water to why missing a couple of weeks of maintenance can quickly turn a sparkling pool green. With over 850 pools serviced weekly across North Texas, Brad explains how a simple system of chemistry, cleaning, and circulation keeps pools swim-ready—and why honest service and education are at the core of his company. If you own a pool in North Texas, this conversation might save you time, money, and a lot of headaches. Contact: https://clearchoicepoolcaretx.com/ Key Takeaways from Brad Williams – Clear Choice Pool Care • Pool ownership is more complex than most homeowners realize. Brad explains that a swimming pool is often the most complex system in a home, with hundreds of small processes working together to keep water clean and safe. • Consistency is the secret to a healthy pool. Missing even a couple of weeks of maintenance can quickly lead to algae, cloudy water, and bigger issues—especially in North Texas where weather swings impact water chemistry. • Three fundamentals keep a pool crystal clear: chemistry, cleaning, and circulation. Brad's team follows a systemized 21-point process each week to ensure every pool stays balanced and ready to swim. • North Texas weather creates unique pool challenges. Wind, storms, debris, and runoff in the spring can turn a perfectly balanced pool from blue to green overnight if the filtration system and chemistry aren't managed properly. • Trust and honesty drive their service model. Clear Choice Pool Care technicians are non-commissioned, ensuring homeowners receive honest recommendations rather than unnecessary repairs or upsells.

When a home goes on the market, it's no longer just a place to live — it's a product. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Kelly Burris shares how occupied staging transforms everyday homes into emotionally compelling spaces that sell faster and often for more. From strategic edits and furniture flow to the psychology of buyer emotion, Kelly reveals why staging isn't decoration — it's positioning. And sometimes, it's the difference between 105 days on market… and 6. Staging isn't just about aesthetics. It's about helping families move into their next chapter with confidence. https://kellyburrisdesign.com/ Office: (972)372-4711 https://www.instagram.com/kellywburris/   5 Key Takeaways from Kelly Burris Occupied Staging Is Strategic Editing When a home hits the market, it enters a "beauty contest." Kelly specializes in helping homeowners live in the space while selling it — using smart edits and enhancements to elevate photos and buyer perception. Buyers Shop Emotion First, Logic Second We buy with emotion and justify with logic. Strategic furniture placement, art, and thoughtful styling help buyers see themselves in the space. Declutter ≠ Depersonalize ≠ Disrupt Remove anything smaller than a grapefruit. Pre-pack like you're leaving for 90 days. Clear personal items (photos, certificates, names) for both emotional impact and security. Paint = Money in a Can As a certified color consultant, Kelly emphasizes that the right paint refreshes a home instantly — and even the smell of fresh paint signals "new beginning" to buyers. Staging Delivers ROI On average, sellers who invest around 1.3% in staging may see returns closer to 7% more than if they had done nothing. One client's property sold in just 6 days after enhancements.

If you're inspired by mission-driven founders who turn lived experience into solutions that change lives, this is one you don't want to miss. Contact: https://neurolocker.ai/ Highlights NeuroLocker was built by neurodivergent individuals for neurodivergent individuals — an all-in-one productivity tool that simplifies life for students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, OCD, and more. The mission is deeply personal: Sophea grew up advocating for her younger brother, watching him be misunderstood by teachers who treated him differently simply because "his brain worked differently." From college project to real company: A UTA entrepreneurship class led Sophea to pitch NeuroLocker in a Shark-Tank-style competition — out of 79 submissions, they were one of 10 finalists and won funding that launched the company. Focused on helping middle-school and high-school students succeed: The app is becoming available on iOS, Android, and web (critical for Texas classrooms where phones aren't allowed), with beta testing underway and strong early community support. Growth beyond the app: Sophea and her co-founder mom are planning a future DFW-based nonprofit and community center — a safe, judgment-free space for neurodivergent kids to learn, connect, and thrive.

On this episode Buddy sits down with Alex Bailey of Alex B Carpentry, LLC a former office manager who walked away from the desk to build things that actually matter to people every day. Alex now specializes in human-centered custom carpentry — cabinetry, millwork, and retrofit solutions designed around how clients live in their homes, not just how rooms "should" look on paper. He brings a rare mix of craftsmanship, consulting, and problem-solving that general contractors and homeowners trust when the project requires precision, empathy, and zero do-overs.  When Alex launched his business in 2020, he chose to put purple — the color for domestic-violence awareness — on his shirt and business card in honor of his friend Nikki, who defended herself from an abusive partner and was then aggressively prosecuted in what advocates call "criminalized survival." She spent years jailed, denied fair evidence, and ultimately sentenced, while Alex and others showed up in court as a sea of purple to support her. After a long appeals fight under a new NY domestic-abuse sentencing law, she was finally released and is rebuilding her life. Alex keeps wearing purple as a form of ongoing awareness — not because he believes it fixes the issue, but because silence is worse, and visibility is at least a first step.

Consultative, Not Commodity — He doesn't "sell cabinets," he sells a thinking partner + execution — asking questions most contractors never ask so the result serves the client for decades. Trusted Surgical Finisher for GCs — Beyond end-to-end custom work, he is the one-call problem solver GCs bring in to fix the unfinishable: invisible cook retrofits, pocket door conflicts, trim redo, etc. Craft + Communication = Differentiator — He leverages a prior career in customer service and training to do what most tradespeople can't — translate unclear visions into buildable reality.   Recorded at the Blue Mic Studios podcast production company: https://www.bluemicstudios.com/
