  • Before You Grow: Fix the Operations Holding You Back Ep 287

    Before You Grow: Fix the Operations Holding You Back Ep 287
    Nov 5 2026
    When the founder becomes the bottleneck, business growth can create more pressure without creating room to lead. In this episode of Thrive Radio, I talk with John Roddy, founder of Roddy Strategy Partners, about the shift from keeping a business running to building one that can grow beyond its dependence on the owner. John shares how his own experience in a rapidly growing business shaped his approach to operations and leadership. We discuss what happens when every decision comes back to the founder, why letting go requires developing the team too, and how to assess capacity before adding more demand. He also describes helping a service business owner move from an 80-hour week to a 40-hour week, with more time for family and the next stage of the business. We explore the changes behind that story, including operational involvement, technology, trust, and giving people room to take responsibility. The conversation also covers growth that fits the owner's life, preparing a business for a family handoff or sale, and choosing an advisor whose approach matches the work you need done. If you want your business to move forward without every next step depending on you, this conversation offers a practical place to begin. What You'll Learn How an owner's involvement can become a constraint on growth. Why stepping back requires developing the team alongside the founder. How operations, training, and decision ownership affect capacity. What to examine before asking an exhausted team to handle more work. Why an apparent staffing problem may also involve culture and leadership. How to define growth around the life and business you want. Why reducing founder dependence matters for a future handoff or sale. What to look for when choosing fractional leadership or advisory support. Visit https://acalltothrive.com

  • Building a Brand for an Overlooked Market Ep 286

    Building a Brand for an Overlooked Market Ep 286
    Oct 29 2026
    An overlooked market can become the starting point for a business when you understand the customers behind the gap. In this episode of Thrive Radio, I talk with Deborah North, founder of Yes Athletics, about building a sports footwear and apparel brand around the needs of female athletes. When her daughter Annie started wrestling, Deborah saw girls entering a sport where the available gear often left them feeling like an afterthought. She decided to do something about it. After 25 years in recruiting, Deborah had to learn a different kind of business: sourcing, manufacturing, inventory, fulfillment, and e-commerce. We discuss how she found people who could help, why conversations with coaches mattered, and what changed when she committed fully to Yes Athletics. We also talk honestly about the personal responsibility of entrepreneurship, finding support from other founders, and the moment Deborah stopped comparing herself with larger competitors. Her story offers a useful look at differentiation: understanding the people you serve and building from a perspective you can genuinely own. If you're building a brand, exploring an underserved market, or trying to stay focused on what makes your business valuable, this conversation will give you plenty to consider. What You'll Learn -How Deborah recognized an unmet need through her daughter's wrestling experience. -What it took to move from a service business into physical products. -How introductions and networking helped her build an advisory circle. -Why product design needs to address real customer experiences, including fit and coverage. -How talking with coaches connected the company to problems teams needed solved. -What Deborah learned about commitment, financial responsibility, and founder support. -Why she stopped comparing Yes Athletics with bigger competitors. -How belonging and customer understanding shape the brand's mission.

  • Is Your Business Invisible in AI Search? Ep 285

    Is Your Business Invisible in AI Search? Ep 285
    Oct 26 2026
    When someone asks ChatGPT to recommend a business like yours, does your company enter the conversation? In this episode of Thrive Radio, I talk with Kevin Armstrong, a former product leader at Amazon and SpaceX and founder of Armstrong HoldCo, about AI search visibility and the realities of building a business from scratch. Kevin explains why showing up in traditional search doesn't automatically mean an AI assistant will mention your business. We discuss third-party sources, the role of website audits, and how business owners can start investigating their visibility across AI platforms. We also get into the lessons behind his own business: leaving the corporate customer pipeline behind, building an app that didn't attract users beyond friends and family, and learning why engagement on LinkedIn wasn't translating into bookings for his coaching service. Throughout the conversation, we return to the value of customer conversations, clearer messaging, and the willingness to keep learning. If you're trying to make sense of AI search while finding a more effective way to reach your customers, this conversation offers a grounded place to start. What You'll Learn Why traditional search visibility and AI recommendations can differ. How third-party sources can influence what an AI assistant surfaces. What an AI visibility audit can help you investigate. Why a corporate growth playbook can leave a new founder unprepared for finding customers. What Kevin learned from building an app that people didn't use. How candid support conversations can reveal customer needs and build trust. Why attention and engagement need to be connected to meaningful business outcomes. How to use feedback and your own voice to refine your message.
