Jodie Wallace - 3D Perspectives, LLC
What story are you telling yourself about your business? When entrepreneurs face stagnation, the barrier often isn't the market or the product—it’s the subconscious limiting beliefs built up over a lifetime . In this episode of Growing Your Business, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Jodie Wallace, founder of 3D Perspectives, LLC, a business and life coach with over 25 years of experience . As a Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner trained directly under industry pioneer Christina Hall, Jodie breaks down her "3D" methodology: Discovery, Direction, and Decision . Learn how internal conflict resolution can dismantle procrastination, align your mind and spirit, and provide tangible, measurable growth for your business journey . Contacts: Complimentary Discovery Session: Accessible by reaching out directly to explore NLP and coaching options with zero sales pressure. Jodie also loves to communicate via text messages. Key Takeaways The Power of the 3Ds: True transformation requires three phases: Discovery (where you are vs. where you want to go), Direction (the strategy to get there), and Decision (the absolute commitment to change) . Subconscious Stories Dictate Success: Procrastination and business stagnation are rarely about the external situation; they are driven by subconscious, limiting beliefs (e.g., "I'm not good enough") formed between ages 2 and 14 . Internal Conflict Resolution: Instead of treating internal friction as one side being right and the other wrong, effective NLP uncovers the positive purpose of both sides (like safety) and integrates them to create a unified path forward . The Importance of an Evidence Journal: Subconscious conditioning relies on proof . By tracking actions and logging exactly how calm and confident you felt afterward, you build a written catalog of success that trains the brain for future wins . Measurable Value Scales: Utilizing a 1-to-5 clarity scale at the end of a session ensures clients leave with a concrete sense of value, allowing the coach to pivot immediately if the client doesn't yet feel at a top "5" . A Spiritual, No-Pressure Lane: Operating purely out of a calling rather than financial strain or competition changes the coaching dynamic entirely . Discerning who truly fits your practice—and referring out those who need clinical counseling—builds deep professional trust Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Harley Liechty - - Get Better Bookkeeping
How well do you actually know your numbers? Many small business owners are busier than ever and charging competitively, yet still find themselves asking: "Why am I not making money at the end of the day?" In this episode of Growing Your Business, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Harley Liechty, founder of Get Better Bookkeeping. Transitioning from business coaching to financial services, Harley has scaled his firm to support over 125 businesses nationwide using a simple but rigorous approach: weekly account updates and mandatory financial review meetings. Discover how moving past basic "number crunching" to strategic advisory can boost your net profitability by 4% year-over-year—and how human-led consulting will remain irreplaceable in the age of AI. Guest Contacts: Key Takeaways The Power of Weekly Touchpoints: Keeping books updated at least once a week ensures business owners get the real-time facts they need to make immediate, critical decisions instead of waiting months for outdated reports. Review Meetings are Mandatory: Data is worthless if it isn't analyzed. Requiring regular financial review meetings (via Zoom or in-office) bridges the gap between raw numbers and strategic action. A Profitability-First Approach: While sales might stagnate during tough economic cycles, Get Better Bookkeeping's typical clients see an average net profitability improvement of 4% year-over-year simply by optimizing overhead and understanding their margins. The Shift from "Number Cruncher" to Advisor: The accounting industry is evolving. Modern firms must elevate their services to consultative advisory, especially as automation tools handle the basic transactional minutiae. AI is a Tool, Not a Replacement: While AI technologies (like ChatGPT or Claude) can process thousands of financial transactions in minutes, they cannot replace the human interaction, trust, and customized advice that business owners rely on. Take Control of What You Can: In unpredictable economic climates (what Harley calls the "Screaming 20s"), the single best move an entrepreneur can make is to take absolute control of their business financials and stay humble enough to ask for expert help. Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Barbara Giesing of BAGHR Consulting and Traci Poe of Public Speakers Growth Hub
Are you an introvert who dreads putting yourself out there? Or a business owner trapped in survival mode, just trying to hire anyone who can help? You need to hear this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles . In this powerful conversation, host Buddy Broyles brings together two incredible female leaders: Barbara Giesing, HR Consultant at BAGHR Consulting, and Traci Poe, founder of the Public Speakers Growth Hub and Communicate Great . Together, they share the raw truth about moving past fear, embracing collaboration over cutthroat competition, and launching their highly anticipated collaborative book, “Oh Yes, I Did!” . From Traci’s journey of transforming from a timid introvert to a college public speaking professor, to Barbara’s practical secrets on how clear job descriptions act as a company "drama exterminator"—this episode is packed with absolute gold for any entrepreneur looking to rise . Tune in to discover why your story is worth taking the stage for, and how to start speaking truth into your business! Key Takeaways The Power of “Oh Yes, I Did!”: Born out of the mastermind group "Oh Yes, I Can," Traci Poe partnered with publisher Amy Vogel to create a collaborative book featuring diverse women entrepreneurs . Officially launching at their Summer Summit on July 17th, the project features distinct strategies and stories to help women flourish and rise to their dream businesses . Overcoming the Introvert Barrier: Both Barbara and Traci openly identify as deep introverts who faced intense anxiety about putting themselves visible in the market . They emphasize that your message and story matter enough to overcome fear and "take the stage," whether virtually or physically . Shifting from Competition to Collaboration: Real growth happens when entrepreneurs view each other as collaborators rather than competitors . Teaming up allows business owners to support one another, share resources, and respectfully borrow each other's audiences to propel both brands forward . Job Descriptions as "Drama Exterminators": Barbara highlights that failing to write clear job descriptions is a massive small business mistake . Putting expectations in writing eliminates workplace drama, establishes baseline measures for success, and helps you accurately determine if you truly need full-time, part-time, or seasonal skillsets . The High Cost of Survival-Mode Hiring: Hiring an employee out of pure survival mode without a clear, written plan quickly drains your time and money . If the arrangement doesn't work out, a clear structure allows both parties to part ways respectfully and transparently, rather than letting silent frustrations build up to a blowout firing . Communicating with Curiosity: When an employee handles a task unexpectedly, a leader should address it immediately with curiosity rather than anger . Asking, "Can you explain your thought process?" keeps lines of communication open and prevents employees from solidifying bad habits . Delegating Your Business Deficits Early: To successfully build confidence when launching a business, Barbara advises identifying your personal weaknesses immediately . Delegating technical IT security and hiring a bookkeeper early on frees up an owner's mental capacity to excel in their actual zones of genius . Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Today, they are redefining senior care in the North Texas area with a highly specialized, concierge-level model built on true empathy .

Tune in to hear their incredible story and discover how they are lighting the path for families across Plano, Allen, and Richardson.

Having personally navigated the fragmented healthcare maze for their own parents, they designed a business specifically to solve the pain points they experienced firsthand . Concierge Level Care at Affordable Rates: CareBuilders at Home Plano differentiates itself by providing a personalized, premium standard of handholding—including having care partners physically accompany clients to oncology and doctor appointments—without charging premium concierge prices . True 24/7 Human Accessibility: Defying the industry norm of automated call centers and past-5-PM voicemails, the agency features a live team member answering every single phone call, ensuring families in crisis never talk to a machine . Rigid Vetting and Hands-On Leadership: To combat the low barrier to entry in Texas home care, the agency primarily hires certified CNAs and pairs care with AI-driven 24/7 monitoring . Furthermore, either Sunil or Tiffany personally conducts the final face-to-face interview for every single caregiver . Managing the "Sundowners" Escalation: Utilizing Tiffany's extensive background in mental health and substance abuse, the agency actively trains its caregivers in de-escalation techniques specifically tailored for complex dementia behaviors, such as nighttime sundowners . Commitment to Staying Connected: The founders have made a pact never to scale the business to a size where they can no longer personally conduct home visits or introduce a new caregiver face-to-face to a family .

Bradley Sanders - Triumph Roofing

Bradley Sanders - Triumph Roofing
The roofing industry is changing fast, and homeowners are facing higher deductibles, more insurance exclusions, and greater risk when choosing a contractor. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Bradley Sanders of Triumph Roofing shares how his company has built a reputation on trust, education, and quality craftsmanship over 17 years in business. From navigating insurance claims to helping homeowners avoid costly mistakes, Bradley explains why treating people like family has become Triumph Roofing's greatest competitive advantage. https://www.triumphroofing.net/ Key Takeaways Trust is everything in roofing. With thousands of roofing companies competing in North Texas, Triumph Roofing differentiates itself by treating customers like they matter and serving as their advocate. Insurance claims are becoming more challenging. Homeowners are seeing deductibles increase from hundreds of dollars to tens of thousands, while coverage continues to shrink. Most roofing projects are storm-related. Bradley estimates that about 95% of their business comes from hail damage, storms, or leaks discovered after severe weather. Quality beats cheap every time. Triumph Roofing focuses on complete tear-offs, proper inspections, and long-term solutions rather than cutting corners to offer the lowest price. Education comes before the sale. Bradley encourages homeowners to seek advice, ask questions, and avoid rushed decisions—even if it doesn't immediately lead to business for his company. Strong culture creates strong results. Triumph Roofing emphasizes integrity, curiosity, compassion, passion, and family as daily operating values rather than words posted on a wall. The right crew makes all the difference. Consistency, training, and maintaining long-term crews help ensure quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Your story deserves more than just a conversation—it deserves impact.

Tilda Tart - Blue Butterfly Writing LLC
What happens when a doctor or a daycare tells you your child is just "acting up," but your parental instinct knows it’s something deeper? For author and cognitive tool specialist Tilda Tart, that question became the driving force of her life after her son was removed from multiple daycares and eventually diagnosed with Asperger’s at just four years old . On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Tilda shares her deeply personal journey of navigating high-functioning autism, fighting for her son's needs, and learning how to decode the hidden sensory struggles of neurodivergent children . She also explains Blue Butterfly Writing LLC's unique approach to supporting special needs families, combining her interactive dual-perspective workbooks with custom, 504-compliant "cognitive tools" designed to help children find their calm in a chaotic world . If you've been searching for resources, answers, or a community that truly understands the special needs journey, this conversation will change your perspective . Website: Blue Butterfly Writing LLC Social Media: @TildaTart or @BlueButterflyWriting Special Offer: Text the code 26786 BBWLLC to receive a free copy of Tilda’s newsletter . Key Takeaways Early diagnosis changes everything. While many high-functioning children aren't diagnosed until their teenage years, catching it at age four allowed Tilda to address her son's needs during his brain's most critical developmental window . Never ignore your parental intuition. Tilda urges parents to never blindly accept a passive medical opinion or dismiss complex neurological struggles as simple behavioral problems . Rebranding sensory assets creates accessibility. By replacing the word "toy" with "cognitive tool," Tilda successfully navigated strict school regulations to ensure her son could legally bring calming sensory items into his classroom under IEP and 504 plans . Workbooks can bridge the communication gap. Blue Butterfly Writing's flagship book, For Little Sunshine, uses a unique side-by-side layout featuring the child's perspective on one page and the mother's perspective alongside medical context on the other . Intentionality is key for sensory regulation. Tilda advises using specific tactile assets—like her signature glow-in-the-dark push pop ball or noise-canceling headphones—only during high-stress moments to effectively train a child's brain to associate the tool with calming down Adversity can trigger your true purpose. After being laid off from a demanding 28-year career, Tilda used her sudden transition away from corporate life as the perfect catalyst to write her books and launch her advocacy business full-time .

Ummi Lawan - Harmony Legal Group
What happens if you don't make a plan for your family? For attorney Ummi Lawan, that question became deeply personal after experiencing a difficult custody battle that showed her how much power courts can have over life's most important decisions. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Ummi shares why estate planning is really about protecting your loved ones, preserving family harmony, and ensuring your wishes—not a stranger's—guide the future. She also explains Harmony Legal Group's unique approach that goes beyond legal documents to capture the stories, values, and wisdom that truly define a person's legacy. If you've been putting off estate planning, this conversation may change your perspective. Key Takeaways Estate planning is about control and peace of mind. Without a plan, a judge and the state may make critical decisions about your assets, children, and legacy. Ummi's personal story fuels her mission. After experiencing a painful child custody battle and seeing firsthand how much power courts can have over families, she became passionate about helping others take control of their future. Family harmony is the ultimate goal. Harmony Legal Group focuses on reducing conflict, protecting loved ones, and preserving family relationships through thoughtful planning. Estate planning is more than documents. Their process includes education, personalized planning sessions, legacy interviews, and ongoing reviews every three years. Your greatest legacy isn't your money.

Ryan Otto - Accent Financial Services
Taxes shouldn’t just be something you survive—they should be part of your growth strategy. In this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Ryan Otto of Accent Financial Services shares how strategic accounting helps business owners move from financial stress to financial confidence. From tax planning and business growth to paying your kids legally through your business, Ryan breaks down how smart strategy today creates freedom tomorrow. If you’ve ever said, “I made money… now what do I do?” — this episode is for you. Contact: 5 Key Takeaways Ryan Otto explains that Accent Financial Services is much more than tax prep—they focus heavily on tax strategy, helping business owners proactively make smarter financial decisions instead of reacting at tax time. After purchasing Accent Financial Services three and a half years ago, Ryan modernized the nearly 40-year-old company by moving it from paper-heavy systems to a fully digital, relationship-driven business. Ryan emphasizes that many clients come in feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed, so his process starts with trust, comfort, and solving problems one step at a time to reduce stress and create clarity. One of Ryan’s biggest specialties is helping business owners with kids use legal tax strategies like paying their children appropriately through the business to create long-term financial advantages. AI tools like ChatGPT can help business owners prepare better questions and uncover missed opportunities before meeting with an accountant—but Ryan stresses strategy still requires a real expert to guide implementation. #GrowingYourBusiness #BuddyBroyles #RyanOtto #AccentFinancialServices #TaxStrategy #SmallBusinessOwner #BusinessGrowth #FinancialPlanning #EntrepreneurLife #BlueMicStudios Businesses like Ryan’s thrive on trust, education, and relationships—and podcasting is one of the fastest ways to build all three.

Sarah Singler - Wholehearted Canine
What if better dog behavior didn’t come from control—but from connection? In this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Sarah Singler of Wholehearted Canine shares how positive-only training transforms not just dogs—but relationships. By focusing on trust, communication, and tailored in-home coaching, Sarah empowers owners to truly understand their dogs and build lasting success. From reactive behaviors to everyday obedience, her approach proves that when dogs feel safe and motivated, they thrive—and so do their humans. If you’re a pet owner (or know one), this episode is a must-listen. Contact: sarah@whcdogs.com Key Takeaways ( Positive-only training builds trust, confidence, and long-term behavior success—without force or fear. Focus on concept training over commands, helping dogs develop decision-making skills and independence.

Lena Killion - MLK Pre Arrangements
Talking about end-of-life planning isn’t easy—but according to Lena Killion of MLK Pre Arrangements, it’s one of the most meaningful gifts you can give your family. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Lena shares how pre-arranged funeral planning removes emotional stress, locks in today’s pricing, and ensures your final wishes are honored. From helping veterans access benefits to guiding families through difficult conversations, Lena’s work focuses on compassion, clarity, and protecting families when they need it most. It’s a powerful reminder that planning ahead isn’t about death—it’s about taking care of the people you love. Contact: Key Takeaways from Lena Killion Pre-planning is a gift to your family. Lena emphasizes that making funeral and burial arrangements ahead of time removes emotional and financial stress from loved ones during one of life’s hardest moments. Planning early locks in today’s prices. Funeral and cremation costs rise about 4–6% every year, so securing arrangements in advance protects families from dramatically higher costs later. Veterans have unique benefits—but paperwork matters. Lena helps veterans and their families navigate benefits like those tied to a DD-214, ensuring they receive what they’re entitled to while planning their final arrangements. The process is simpler than people expect. A conversation with Lena can take as little as 20–30 minutes, helping families choose burial or cremation options, select funeral homes, and set flexible payment plans. Clear planning prevents family conflict. Without written plans, loved ones may disagree about final wishes—Lena shares real stories showing how documented decisions protect families from difficult disputes.

Brad Williams - Clear Choice Pool Care
Owning a pool should mean relaxation—not frustration. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Brad Williams of Clear Choice Pool Care shares what most homeowners don’t realize about pool ownership—from the science behind clean water to why missing a couple of weeks of maintenance can quickly turn a sparkling pool green. With over 850 pools serviced weekly across North Texas, Brad explains how a simple system of chemistry, cleaning, and circulation keeps pools swim-ready—and why honest service and education are at the core of his company. If you own a pool in North Texas, this conversation might save you time, money, and a lot of headaches. Contact: Key Takeaways from Brad Williams – Clear Choice Pool Care • Pool ownership is more complex than most homeowners realize. Brad explains that a swimming pool is often the most complex system in a home, with hundreds of small processes working together to keep water clean and safe. • Consistency is the secret to a healthy pool. Missing even a couple of weeks of maintenance can quickly lead to algae, cloudy water, and bigger issues—especially in North Texas where weather swings impact water chemistry. • Three fundamentals keep a pool crystal clear: chemistry, cleaning, and circulation. Brad’s team follows a systemized 21-point process each week to ensure every pool stays balanced and ready to swim. • North Texas weather creates unique pool challenges. Wind, storms, debris, and runoff in the spring can turn a perfectly balanced pool from blue to green overnight if the filtration system and chemistry aren’t managed properly. • Trust and honesty drive their service model. Clear Choice Pool Care technicians are non-commissioned, ensuring homeowners receive honest recommendations rather than unnecessary repairs or upsells.

Kelly Burris - Kelly Burris Design
When a home goes on the market, it’s no longer just a place to live — it’s a product. On this episode of Growing Your Business with Buddy Broyles, Kelly Burris shares how occupied staging transforms everyday homes into emotionally compelling spaces that sell faster and often for more. From strategic edits and furniture flow to the psychology of buyer emotion, Kelly reveals why staging isn’t decoration — it’s positioning. And sometimes, it’s the difference between 105 days on market… and 6. Staging isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about helping families move into their next chapter with confidence. Office: (972)372-4711 https://www.instagram.com/kellywburris/ 5 Key Takeaways from Kelly Burris Occupied Staging Is Strategic Editing When a home hits the market, it enters a “beauty contest.” Kelly specializes in helping homeowners live in the space while selling it — using smart edits and enhancements to elevate photos and buyer perception. Buyers Shop Emotion First, Logic Second We buy with emotion and justify with logic. Strategic furniture placement, art, and thoughtful styling help buyers see themselves in the space. Declutter ≠ Depersonalize ≠ Disrupt Remove anything smaller than a grapefruit. Pre-pack like you’re leaving for 90 days. Clear personal items (photos, certificates, names) for both emotional impact and security. Paint = Money in a Can As a certified color consultant, Kelly emphasizes that the right paint refreshes a home instantly — and even the smell of fresh paint signals “new beginning” to buyers. Staging Delivers ROI On average, sellers who invest around 1.3% in staging may see returns closer to 7% more than if they had done nothing. One client’s property sold in just 6 days after enhancements.

The mission is deeply personal: Sophea grew up advocating for her younger brother, watching him be misunderstood by teachers who treated him differently simply because “his brain worked differently.” From college project to real company: A UTA entrepreneurship class led Sophea to pitch NeuroLocker in a Shark-Tank-style competition — out of 79 submissions, they were one of 10 finalists and won funding that launched the company. Focused on helping middle-school and high-school students succeed: The app is becoming available on iOS, Android, and web (critical for Texas classrooms where phones aren’t allowed), with beta testing underway and strong early community support. Growth beyond the app: Sophea and her co-founder mom are planning a future DFW-based nonprofit and community center — a safe, judgment-free space for neurodivergent kids to learn, connect, and thrive.

Alex Bailey - Alex B Carpentry, LLC
On this episode Buddy sits down with Alex Bailey of Alex B Carpentry, LLC a former office manager who walked away from the desk to build things that actually matter to people every day. Alex now specializes in human-centered custom carpentry — cabinetry, millwork, and retrofit solutions designed around how clients live in their homes, not just how rooms “should” look on paper. He brings a rare mix of craftsmanship, consulting, and problem-solving that general contractors and homeowners trust when the project requires precision, empathy, and zero do-overs. When Alex launched his business in 2020, he chose to put purple — the color for domestic-violence awareness — on his shirt and business card in honor of his friend Nikki, who defended herself from an abusive partner and was then aggressively prosecuted in what advocates call “criminalized survival.” She spent years jailed, denied fair evidence, and ultimately sentenced, while Alex and others showed up in court as a sea of purple to support her. After a long appeals fight under a new NY domestic-abuse sentencing law, she was finally released and is rebuilding her life. Alex keeps wearing purple as a form of ongoing awareness — not because he believes it fixes the issue, but because silence is worse, and visibility is at least a first step. Contact information: We Stand with Nikki: Top 5 Takeaways — Alex B Carpentry, LLC Office-to-Trade Career Pivot with Purpose — Alex left white-collar management roles in his 20s to apprentice in carpentry, rediscovering hands-on work as a calling with long-term mastery and meaning.

Rob Miller - Papa Rob’s Coffee
Meet Rob Miller — better known as Papa Rob — who turned a life transition, a love for people, and a garage roasting hobby into a fast-growing specialty coffee business. After moving to Texas to care for family, Rob launched Papa Rob’s Coffee and quickly went from a 3-lb roaster to 14-hour roast days when one viral post generated hundreds of orders overnight. Today he supplies both individual subscribers and wholesale clients with fresh, small-farm, hand-selected beans — building a business just as relational as it is flavorful.
