Selling Your Business Without Losing Yourself | Brett Story

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 Quote: “The ability to walk away and mean it is the strongest negotiating position you have.” — Brett Story 📝Description: Your business is probably your biggest asset, and also your biggest risk. Investment banker Brett Story of Brighthorn joins Steve Ramona to take the fear out of private securities, private equity, and selling a company. He explains why the deal you walk away from can matter as much as the one you close. Public vs. private securities: what the difference really is, and why the rules matter The pizza bagel principle: why a smaller slice of a bigger company can beat owning 100% of a small one Don’t go it alone: why even successful owners should never try to sell their own business Prep 12–18 months out: tax strategies, trusts, and the client who moved states before a $40M sale High-touch, not high-volume: why Brighthorn takes only 4–6 deals a year, and the client who said “I feel like we broke up” PS: Brett started out as a lawyer. What changed his path was watching a publishing-business owner cry at the closing table. That owner had mortgaged his house twice to build the company. Brett has spent his career since helping owners win, including the ones who never become clients. CTA: Subscribe to Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart wherever you listen.

Why the Best Leaders Are Still Marinating | Jeff Williamson

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 Quote: “If you don’t know what you stand for, you can fall for anything.” — Jeff Williamson 📝Description: Microwave wings or slow-smoked wings: which one are you? Leadership coach and author Jeff Williamson says real growth works like a smoker. It takes time and intention, and it can feel like nothing is happening until the result is ready. In this episode of Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart , Jeff shares the moment he baptized his own mother on the beach in Myrtle Beach. He explains why everyone is a leader, title or not, and why an unrealized dream is really just a wish. A baptism to remember. Jeff tells how he served the mom who served him, even as she lives with dementia. Then she asked for a second dunk. Love well, learn well, serve well. The three core values Jeff tattooed on his arm, and why knowing what you stand for keeps you from falling for anything. Becoming a multiplier. What Liz Wiseman’s Multipliers taught Jeff about “accidental diminishing,” and why you have to work on yourself before you can lift others. The custodian who got a championship ring. Jeff’s definition of leadership, which has nothing to do with a title. More than one right answer. His advice for business owners who’ve hit a wall: stop pushing, pause, reflect, and adapt. Still Marinating. Inside Jeff’s book, plus a look at his next two. PS: Jeff admits he owns three grills (a flat top, a regular grill, and a smoker), and his wife thinks that’s too many until dinner is served. This episode feels like time on the smoker: slow, rich, and worth the wait. Stay for the “table of four” question at the end. His answer will move you.

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 Quote: “If people can understand, they’ll buy. It’s the old adage: a confused mind always says no.” — Robert J. Smith 📝Description: What if the fastest way to the top of Google wasn’t a $10,000-a-month ad budget, but a free tool you’ve never thought to use? Robert J.

Why Success Comes Before Confidence (Not After) | Steve Lover

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 Quote: “We make a mistake. We think that success comes after we’re confident, and it’s just the opposite.” — Steve Lover 📝Description: Most leaders wait for their people to feel confident before handing them the hard stuff. Former rabbi turned business coach Steve Lover says that’s backward: confidence is built by doing the uncomfortable thing and winning. In this episode, he shares what “world-class” really means and how servant leaders grow confident, accountable teams. World-class, redefined: Decide, plan, execute on time. That’s it, and few companies actually do it. Mission, vision, values that are real: Why most statements are marketing fluff (look up Enron’s), and how to write ones that guide decisions. Lead people, manage things: The confidence model behind his book Ignite : inspire the challenge, encourage the work, celebrate the results. Expectations vs. agreements: Why unspoken expectations wreck teams and marriages alike. Pleasing vs. serving: The “dirt on your tie” story that shows what real care looks like, including walking away from a sale. PS: Steve’s path runs from Jerusalem and Amsterdam pulpits to a six-figure business failure to coaching insurance wholesalers who doubled their numbers in a year. His line that fear and courage are “brothers, not opposites” is one I’ll be repeating for a long time.

Why the Best Leaders Create Space Instead of Pushing Harder | Vanessa Ferlaino

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 : “Your anger does not invalidate your grace. It is here, and it is here for a reason.” — Vanessa Ferlaino 📝Description: What if the secret to doing more is learning to do less? Vanessa Ferlaino — impact investor, certified mindfulness teacher, award-winning author, and host of The Human Challenge — joins Steve to unpack how mindfulness goes far beyond stress relief. It’s about alignment, interconnectedness, and leading from your truth. Why mindfulness is a daily practice, not an emergency tool, and the morning routine Vanessa uses to set her intention The question every leader should ask: “What’s taking up space, and how do I release it?” How Vanessa learned that her anger doesn’t cancel out her grace, and when to walk away from a misaligned project Navigating media and social media without losing yourself to the algorithm How to pitch journalists with value, not a sales pitch, and how to handle questions you’d rather not answer Her journey from tech to impact investing, her podcast The Human Challenge , and her upcoming second book PS: Steve shares how cutting from 12–13 meetings a day down to five actually grew his income. Vanessa’s “step back” philosophy is the same lesson from a different angle. And don’t miss her table-of-four answer: her late father, Buddha, and a world historian (plus French fries).

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 Quote: “We want to work to learn, not work to earn.” — Nathan Poole 📝Description: Nathan Poole spent years running construction and real estate businesses. Then he and his wife went looking for something more passive, with a higher upside and real tax advantages. What started as their riskiest bet became, in their words, the safest asset they own. Nathan explains how he went from managing dozens of employees to running hundreds of mining computers with a team of two, and how he still leads with a servant’s heart. In this episode: Why Nathan and his wife decided to “work to learn, not work to earn” before turning 40 How 99% of crypto is noise, and how to spot the less than 1% that’s real Getting scammed, and why construction taught him more about bad actors than crypto ever did Crypto mining in plain English: the “Western Union” and “credit card processor” of digital money Servant leadership with a small team, and the Ethereum bet that got a subcontractor reading the Bible His closing challenge: set a timer and educate yourself before you decide PS: Nathan didn’t just talk about servant leadership. He has a degree built around it, and it shows in how he talks to a team member who spent all day failing to fix one computer. That moment alone is worth the listen.

Count Your Steps, Stack Your Profits: The 3P System That Stops Businesses From Bleeding | Brad Draper

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 Quote: “You set the plan so you can pivot versus simply react.” — Brad Draper 📝Description: Most businesses aren’t failing because of a bad product. They’re losing money through operational holes nobody can see. Brad Draper went from laboratory janitor to VP of Operations and Quality. He now works as a fractional COO, and he shows how small, repeatable improvements turn into big gains in profit and employee satisfaction. In this episode, Brad and Steve cover: Why you set a plan so you can pivot , not just react, and how one surprise pivot led Brad to mentoring inmates in entrepreneurship Dollar ROI vs. impact ROI vs. true value ROI , and why the last two matter more What a fractional COO is and why it fits growing companies (and companies trimming their C-suite) The 3P System : policies, procedures, processes, plus the systems that support them How a company with 180 employees and $110M a year ran nine locations with zero documented procedures The step analysis that saved roughly 60% of one employee’s time, and the lab change that doubled a machine’s daily output Why efficient employees can earn more, stay longer, and feel like part of the vision PS: Brad’s newest pivot happened between the day we booked this episode and the day we recorded it. He’s now working with a program that teaches entrepreneurship to inmates so they have a plan, a process, and a system when they get out. That’s serving before selling. Also, his wife’s “guess what my husband does” game is worth the listen on its own. CTA: Subscribe to Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart so you don’t miss an episode.

Why Convenience Is Shrinking Masculinity | Adam Feuerstein of The Forge

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 Quote: “There are some very powerful companies that have figured out how to profit from the passivity of those men.” — Adam Feuerstein 📝Description: Fast food, streaming, social media, dating apps: none of them are evil, says Adam Feuerstein. But together they’ve given men a button for everything and a reason to stop growing. Adam spent 25 years building and selling a commercial construction company, then founded The Forge, a men’s community built on purpose, sovereignty, and a refreshing rule: be principled, but be anti-nothing. In this episode, Steve and Adam cover: Why men are wired to seek lessons, not comfort, and what happens when convenience removes those lessons How Adam’s four daughters sparked his mission with one troubling observation about young men Why blaming corporations, feminism, or apps won’t fix anything, and personal responsibility will What villages without electricity in East Africa taught him about community and happiness How “listening with respect and gratitude” gives men a place to be heard and let go of shame PS: Adam’s message lands in a different way because it refuses to divide. No villains, no revolution, just a mirror. If you’ve got a son, a daughter, a husband, or you’re a man trying to find your footing, this one is worth sharing.

No Weights, 15 Minutes a Day: Fitter at 61 Than at 22 | John Geraghty

Send us Fan Mail Business Community https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramona 📖 Quote: “You don’t have to lift heavy. You have to stimulate your body. Your body has to be challenged.” (John Geraghty) 📝Description: What if the reason you’re not in shape has nothing to do with time? Fitness veteran and optimal performance coach John Geraghty has worked out every single day for seven and a half years. Each session takes 15 minutes, uses no equipment, and he hasn’t touched a weight in 15 years. At 61, he says he’s stronger, more flexible and more balanced than he’s ever been. In this episode, Steve and John cover: The brutal job-interview workout in the early ’80s that changed how John thought about exercise Fitness Presence: how training strength, flexibility, balance and coordination together cuts workouts to 15 minutes Why “optimal” performance beats “peak” performance for business owners, advisors and everyday professionals Why retiring from work you love at an arbitrary age may make no sense The Prism of Perspective : how beliefs, energy and presence shape the life you experience PS: John and I both started in the health club world around the same time. I’ve heard “I don’t have time to work out” more times than I can count. John has the best answer I’ve ever heard. If you don’t have 15 minutes, time isn’t the real problem.
