The Kronos Group Podcast
In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie sits down with Dr. Maureen Gibbons, physician, Ironman triathlete, and founder of AMS Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Mo is the author of Freedom to Shift, and this conversation earns every word of that title. Jerry opens up about one of the rawest chapters of his life: being hospitalized 71 times, carrying 110 extra pounds, living on 19 medications, quitting 200mg of oxymorphone cold turkey after a 25-year addiction, and the moment in November 2021 when he was down four pints of blood and chose not to die. Dr. Mo responds with her own truth: a...

The Kronos Group Podcast

What Nobody Tells You About Selling Your Business
The Kronos Group Podcast
Marvin Karlow has been on both sides of the table. He built a manufacturing business out of distressed private equity, grew it, merged it, and sold it to a publicly traded acquirer. Then he watched too many business owners in the $1M to $50M range get underserved at the exit and decided to do something about it. He runs Raincatcher, and he runs closed bid auctions the way investment banks do it for big deals, except for the business owners everyone else ignores. Jerry and Marvin break down the real M&A process, not the version you read about in Forbes, but the version that actually applies...

Stop Playing Small: Alan Lazaros on Grit, Identity, and the Real Price of Untapped Potential
The Kronos Group Podcast
Alan Lazaros was on paper doing everything right at 26. Global top earner, debt paid off, money invested. A head-on crash changed all of it — and forced him to ask the question he had been avoiding: was he actually living at his potential, or just performing for an audience that did not matter? In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie and Alan Lazaros go deep on grit, identity, the compound effect, and why the most successful people rarely look like it online. No filters, no fluff. This episode is part of The Kronos Group Podcast, where experienced operators and...

Buying vs Starting: The Business Conversation Every Entrepreneur Needs to Hear Right Now

Baby boomers are retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day and roughly half of all privately owned businesses in the U.S. are owned by boomers with no succession plan. That is the setup for what Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd call the silver tsunami — one of the greatest business acquisition opportunities in history. In this episode, Jerry breaks down how to find these deals, what to actually look for in an acquisition, how to structure a deal without traditional financing, and why the motivated entrepreneur will always beat private equity in a one-to-one sale. They also break down the...

Artemis, Age, and the Math That Makes Winners | Kronos Group Podcast
The Kronos Group Podcast
You are not tired because you are getting older. You are tired because of the weight you are carrying, and that is a problem with a solution. Jerry Brazie and Steve Floyd bring the real numbers: every extra pound you carry adds up to four pounds of force on your knees with every single step. Over 10,000 steps a day, that adds up to tens of millions of pounds of extra punishment over the course of a year. This episode is a health reality check wrapped in real conversation, and it ends with a breakdown of the Artemis launch that will make you appreciate what humans are capable of when they do...

The Hard Truth About Leadership | Dr. Andy Neillie

He has spoken in front of Fortune 500 companies, trained SMB leaders, and written about everything from servant leadership to the lessons his rescue dogs taught him along the way. In this conversation, Jerry and Andy tear into the gap between what the internet tells entrepreneurs and what actually works — from holding hard conversations to knowing when...

info_outlineBetrayal isn’t just emotional pain — it’s a different kind of trauma that impacts leadership, decision-making, health, trust, and business performance.
In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, host Jerry Brazie sits down with Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, two-time international bestselling author, and leading researcher on post-betrayal syndrome.
Dr. Debi shares groundbreaking research showing how unhealed betrayal silently sabotages entrepreneurs and executives, often disguising itself as burnout, overworking, anxiety, micromanagement, health issues, and stalled growth.
In this conversation, we cover:
-
Why betrayal is not the same as other trauma
-
The 5 stages of betrayal recovery and where most people get stuck
-
How unhealed betrayal impacts business performance, trust, and leadership
-
Why time and traditional therapy often don’t heal betrayal
-
The connection between trauma, health, weight, stress, and execution
-
How leaders move from survival mode to clarity, strength, and grounded authority
If you’re a business owner, executive, or entrepreneur operating under pressure — this episode will challenge how you think about stress, discipline, health, and leadership.
