742. When in Doubt, Disclose
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
Most leadership breakdowns don’t come from bad intent, they come from delayed truth. In today’s episode, Brian Gubernick unpacks one of the most underrated leadership principles he’s lived by for over 15 years: when in doubt, disclose. Drawing from a pivotal moment in 2013 when his real estate team was staring down limited cash reserves and real uncertainty, Brian explains why early, calm, honest disclosure builds trust faster than optimism ever can. This episode breaks down why leaders avoid hard truths, how delayed disclosure creates bigger problems down the road, and why transparency...

741. Chaos Is a Ladder
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
In today’s episode, Brian Gubernick breaks down one of the most misunderstood truths about business and life: real opportunity doesn’t show up when things are calm, it shows up when things are unstable. Drawing inspiration from an unlikely source (Game of Thrones), Brian explains why some people freeze during chaos while others rise, and how moments of uncertainty expose weak systems, reveal real operators, and create separation. Chaos doesn’t automatically elevate you, but if you’re prepared, it gives you something to climb. The question is simple: when things get...

740. 8 Small Levers to Increase Net Income
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
Most entrepreneurs chase profit by chasing growth. More deals. More volume. More hustle. But what if the money you’re looking for is already inside your business? In today’s episode, Brian breaks down eight simple levers that can immediately increase net income without hiring more people, working longer hours, or doubling revenue. From pricing discipline and revenue leakage to hidden expenses and “feels productive” spending, this is a practical audit every business owner needs to run. It’s the Henry Ford sawdust lesson applied to modern business: stop stepping over profit and...

739. Think Bigger
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
Most people don’t fail because they quit. They fail because they quietly agree to a smaller future than they’re capable of. In this episode, Brian Gubernick challenges the kind of thinking that feels responsible but actually caps your potential. This isn’t about setting bigger goals or trying harder. It’s about identity: who you need to become for bigger outcomes to be required of you. If your vision for this year looks a lot like a slightly improved version of last year, this conversation will disrupt you in the best way. We unpack why small thinking feels safe, how past results...

738. AI Hygiene: Using the Tool Without Losing the Human
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
AI is powerful, but it’s not a brain. In this episode, Brian talks about a trend he’s seeing everywhere: people letting AI think for them instead of with them. The result is communication that’s polished, but hollow: missing judgment, personality, and ownership. Brian shares his personal AI hygiene rules: when to use AI, when not to, and how to make sure it sharpens your thinking instead of replacing it. This is a reminder for leaders who make their money with original thought; use AI as a tool, not a crutch. Because in a world where everyone has the same technology, thinking still wins....

737. Tony Robbins on Moving From Push to Pull Motivation
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
Most people don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because they’re running on the wrong fuel. In today’s episode, Brian breaks down a powerful idea sparked by a recent Tony Robbins and Alex Hormozi conversation: push vs. pull motivation. Push motivation is pain-driven -- fear, pressure, panic, survival. It works… until it doesn’t. Pull motivation, on the other hand, is purpose-driven. It’s rooted in identity, standards, and the future you’re building. Brian explains why relying on pain eventually leads to burnout, how to use discomfort as data instead of fuel, and what it...

736. Don’t Let Your P&L Lead You
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
When profits are up, confidence is high. When profits dip, leadership often wavers. In today’s episode, Brian breaks down one of the quiet killers of great leadership: letting short-term financial swings dictate long-term behavior. He unpacks why emotional decision-making shows up when numbers fluctuate, how to separate signal from noise, and what disciplined leaders do differently to stay steady. You’ll learn how to protect your leadership from volatility, build buffers that create clarity, and coach commission-based people to stay process-focused when income swings. Because profit...

735. You Can Be Anywhere in Five Years
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
In today’s episode, Brian breaks down a simple but powerful idea: you can be anywhere you want to be in five years, and in some cases, much sooner. Using the rapid transformation of Indiana Hoosiers football under head coach Kurt Cignetti as a real-world case study, Brian challenges the myth that meaningful change requires long, drawn-out rebuilds. This isn’t a motivational pep talk. It’s a lesson on standards, accountability, and operational discipline and how raising the bar immediately can compress time and accelerate results. If you’re managing for comfort instead of...

734. 4 Steps to Starting the Year Financially Healthy
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
Most financial conversations focus on tactics: what to invest in, how to make more money, where the next big opportunity is. But that skips the real question: Is your financial foundation actually sound? In today’s episode, Brian breaks down what true financial health looks like for entrepreneurs operating under constant pressure. It’s not about flashy wins or aggressive bets; it’s about building a durable base that creates clarity, stability, liquidity, and intentional risk. When your foundation is strong, you buy optionality. And optionality leads to better decisions, lower stress, and...

733. Healthspan as a Strategic Advantage for Entrepreneurs
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
At the start of the year, most health goals are about quick wins: losing weight, getting back in the gym, tightening things up. But that frame is incomplete. In this episode, Brian breaks down healthspan, the years you’re strong, sharp, resilient, and fully capable, and why it matters now, not someday. For entrepreneurs, declining health doesn’t show up all at once. It shows up as low energy, poor stress tolerance, slower decisions, and diminished leadership. Brian walks through a simple, practical healthspan framework built on consistency, not extremes, and challenges you to make...
