For entrepreneurs, the squeeze is magnified because there’s no clocking out.  In this episode, Brian unpacks how to recognize this season, manage it with intention, and turn it into a catalyst for growth. From auditing your energy to redefining priorities, building systems, and protecting recovery, you’ll learn how to navigate the squeeze without being crushed by it.  The truth? This isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a compression chamber for resilience. Pain plus reflection equals progress, and this season can sharpen you into the next-level leader you’re meant to be. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

Leaders often believe the mission ends with project completion, but that's a major misconception. Debriefing is essential for identifying mistakes, capturing lessons learned, and maintaining momentum. Inspired by Jocko Willink’s SEAL team strategy, the discussion highlights how analyzing wins and losses fosters clarity and accountability. The challenge for listeners? Conduct a debrief on a recent project to truly understand that the mission isn't complete until the lessons are learned and applied.

Nothing is ever truly “in the bag.” That’s the trap high performers fall into: the assumption that past success guarantees future wins.  In this episode, Brian Gubernick unpacks why complacency kills momentum, from the tortoise and the hare to Team USA’s shocking 2004 Olympic collapse to giants like Blockbuster and Kodak losing everything by resting on their laurels. Brian shares how this lesson applies directly to entrepreneurs: dominance creates blind spots, and the second you start coasting is the second hungrier competition catches up. The real edge isn’t talent or history; it’s vigilance, preparation, and never letting your foot off the gas. Your challenge today: identify one area of your life or business where you’ve assumed victory is guaranteed. Write it down. Then take one action this week to shore it up before complacency costs you. Because in business, life, and endurance events, the moment you think it’s in the bag… is the moment the bag rips open. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

Five stars don’t come from competence alone. The truth? People don’t rave about the product, they rave about how they were treated.  In this episode, Brian Gubernick breaks down the hidden driver of top reviews: experience. It’s not the transaction, it’s the touch points. The difference between a four-star and a five-star review is the responsiveness, empathy, and connection your clients feel. Brian shares how to audit your testimonials, engineer meaningful client touch points, and make your people visible, so your service goes beyond delivery and creates loyalty. Your challenge today: add one new intentional touch point this week. Don’t just be excellent at what you do, make people feel excellent while you do it. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

Client churn doesn’t usually show up as a flashing red warning light. It’s quiet, subtle, and often invisible until it’s already eroded your growth. In this episode, Brian Gubernick unpacks why retention is the real growth engine for any business and why obsessing over new client acquisition while ignoring churn is like filling a leaky bucket. You’ll learn three tactical levers you can deploy immediately: Post-sale engagement that builds trust and loyalty from day one; Surprise-and-delight moments that transform transactions into relationships; Community building that makes leaving your business feel like leaving a tribe. Retention may not feel flashy, but it’s where compounding begins. Protect what you’ve worked so hard to build, and watch how scaling becomes simpler. Because in business and in life retention is the new growth. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

In business and life, decisions don’t come from the same place for everyone. Some of us lead with logic. Others lead with values. Thinkers weigh the data and poke holes in reasoning. Feelers focus on people, harmony, and impact. Neither is better, but if you don’t recognize the difference, you’ll miss deals, lose influence, and frustrate your team. In this episode, Brian Gubernick breaks down the key traits of thinkers and feelers, how to spot them, and - most importantly - how to flex your leadership style to connect with both. From Elon Musk’s hard logic to Oprah Winfrey’s empathy, from Jeff Bezos’ demand for data to Richard Branson’s people-first culture, Brian shows how the best leaders switch gears to win trust, close sales, and build stronger relationships. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.

Comfort isn’t soft. It’s a competitive edge. Cotality’s latest data shows that when choosing who to work with, buyers value comfort more than loyalty or convenience. Translation: people don’t come back because you’re the cheapest or the easiest, they come back because they trust you and feel at ease in the process. In this episode, Brian breaks down five lessons for operationalizing comfort in your business: why it drives repeat customers, how to spot the subtle signals of discomfort, the role of timing, how to intentionally design for it, and why trust built on authenticity, logic, and empathy, is at the core of it all. This week’s challenge: audit your customer journey for friction points and run a quick trust diagnostic on yourself and your team. The question isn’t if you provide comfort, it’s whether you’ve designed it into every step of your business. -- Text NDO to 59559 to subscribe to our daily texts + get a link to the newest episode.
