  • Segment 1 with Adam Wallace starts at 0:00.

    As inflation finally continues to fall, customers are still holding on tight to every last dollar—while some businesses get nervous and slash prices in a scramble to the bottom.

    But price wars are nothing but a race to the bottom- warns acclaimed pricing strategist Adam Wallace. There’s a smarter, more sustainable approach: tapping into human nature to reveal what your customers value and will happily pay more for. His new book is called "Beyond the Price Wars: How to Re-Value Your Business and Win Customers - Tips from a Fortune 100 Fixer".

  • Segment 1 with former Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy starts at 0:00

    Remembering that President John F. Kennedy, published his classic book Profiles in Courage, he hoped to inspire “political courage” by telling the stories of brave U.S. senators who changed America. In PROFILES IN MENTAL HEALTH COURAGE, Former congressman Patrick Kennedy adapts his uncle’s idea to showcase the acts of “mental health courage” that happen in private: what it takes for those living with mental illness and addiction to find care and treat their illnesses, and the risk they take telling their stories in a country without adequate mental health understanding, infrastructure, and care. Patrick Kennedy is one of the leading voices on mental illness while he was in Congress. Soon after the death of his father, Senator Ted Kennedy he left congress to devote himself to mental health Advocacy.

  • Let me be upfront. This show has nothing to do with small business but everything to do with my other love: cycling.

    The Pandemic Bike Boom led to over 54 million American bike riders pushed cities across the country to focus on new bike lanes and bike safety! The bicycle is one of the greatest inventions in human history. It can literally transport you to places you want to go—to your school or office, to the summit of a local hilltop, to some objective in your pursuit of fitness—but it can do more than that. A bicycle can also transport you to an entirely different mindset, a place where you can embrace the unexpected and live in the moment. People are drawn to riding for many of the same reasons—to test themselves, find themselves, and express themselves. To find some peace and beauty. To inject fun and adventure into their busy lives.

    I interview former Editor of Bicycling Magazine, Peter Flax, who is the author of "Live to Ride: Finding Joy and Meaning on a Bicycle". He explains the allure of cycling and why it is so important to our community (and how to protect it).
