The Kronos Group Podcast
This podcast is for the ones who do the work, and the ones who want to understand what that really means. Hosted by Jerry Brazie, a self-made entrepreneur who’s built and sold over a dozen companies and generated $450 million in revenue after living on the streets with hookers and heroin addicts at 17, The Kronos Group Podcast is raw, unfiltered, and packed with hard-earned lessons. We talk business, the real stuff. Strategy, hiring, scaling, operations, branding, marketing, real estate, finance, and leadership. But it’s not just for business owners. It’s for anyone curious about how things get built, what makes entrepreneurs tick, and what success actually costs. This show goes deeper than tactics. We cover marriage, fatherhood, health, risk, mindset, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with betting everything on yourself. Sometimes we bring on other operators and experts. Sometimes we just call it like it is. If you’re building something, thinking about building something, or just want to hear how it’s really done: this is your show.

Your Brain Is Not Your Enemy, But It Is the Problem | Dr. Maureen Gibbons on Health for High Achievers

Your Brain Is Not Your Enemy, But It Is the Problem | Dr. Maureen Gibbons on Health for High Achievers
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 childhood spent on diets, competing in Ironmans at 160 pounds, hiding a GLP-1 prescription from her husband, and the moment eight hours after her first dose when her brain finally went quiet. What this conversation is really about is identity. What happens when the version of you that got you here is not the version that gets you to the next level. What it costs a high achiever to keep pushing without addressing the foundation. And what becomes possible on the other side when you stop treating your health like a willpower contest. Dr. Mo breaks down her SHIFT framework — Success Happens In Focused Transitions — and why health freedom, time freedom, and income freedom are all connected. They also cover: the most overrated health advice, the one habit high performers refuse to let go of, GLP-1 medications without the media noise, and the single fastest action you can take right now to start getting your energy back.

Why Most Entrepreneurs Stay Stuck (And Don’t Even Know It)
In Episode #321 of The Kronos Group Podcast, Matt Floyd, Steve Floyd, and Jerry Brazie break down the real reason business owners stay stuck — and why the answer isn’t more information, better routines, or copying billionaires. It’s ownership. This episode dives into: Why “work-life balance” is misleading The daily reset mindset that elite operators use Why Elon Musk-style routines don’t apply to you The dangerous habit of blaming external factors How to eliminate the “mental tax” holding you back Why outside perspective is the ultimate unfair advantage If you’re serious about growing your business, your health, and your life — this is required listening.

What Nobody Tells You About Selling Your Business
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 to the business you built. This is a conversation about getting what your company is actually worth. Watch it before you need it.

Stop Playing Small: Alan Lazaros on Grit, Identity, and the Real Price of Untapped Potential
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.

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 Grosjean F1 crash in full — the 28 seconds, the 67 Gs, the engineering that saved his life — and tie it all back to how you build something that actually lasts.

Why You Are Broke Even When Business Is Good | Rocky Lalvani
Rocky Lalvani grew up watching immigrants build the American dream from scratch and decided early that he wanted to be on the right side of that equation. After years in corporate and a lifetime of studying how money actually works, he now serves as a Chief Profitability Officer helping business owners who look successful from the outside figure out why they feel financially stuck on the inside. In this episode, Rocky and Jerry Brazie break down the three financial drivers behind every business, why most owners only track one of them, what your bookkeeper and CPA are not telling you about your own numbers, and why the lie that more revenue will solve everything might be the most expensive belief a business owner can hold. Practical, straight, and loaded with the kind of insight that turns struggling operators into profitable ones.

Artemis, Age, and the Math That Makes Winners | 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 math right.

The Hard Truth About Leadership | Dr. Andy Neillie
Most leadership content online is designed to get clicks, not build businesses. Jerry Brazie's guest today, Dr. Andy Neillie, knows the difference. Andy grew an Aquatots franchise to 5 locations and 175 employees over 16 years before selling. 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 health becomes your most important business asset.

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie sits down with serial entrepreneur R. Scott Edwards, founder of Laughs Unlimited and operator of multiple comedy clubs, restaurants, travel agencies, and even a tourist submarine.

Scott shares how he: Started his first construction company at 17 Opened a comedy club with no restaurant experience Built and sold multiple ventures Navigated business failure and personal sacrifice Learned leadership through real operator experience They discuss: Why peer advisory groups and surrounding yourself with smarter people matter The difference between employees and founders Decision-making under uncertainty Risk tolerance and resilience Balancing business ambition with family life This episode is for business owners, founders, operators, and anyone navigating the weight of responsibility that comes with leadership.

Success Without Self-Awareness Always Collapses | The Kronos Group Podcast #299
In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd break down what happens when individuals, companies, and institutions lose touch with reality—and why echo chambers are one of the fastest ways to fail. Using real-world examples from media, business, sports culture, health, and leadership, the conversation cuts through comfort narratives and exposes the hidden cost of avoiding accountability. From the decline of legacy institutions to the personal consequences of ignoring health, discipline, and opposing viewpoints, this episode is about one thing: adapt or fall behind. Whether you’re a business owner, professional, parent, athlete, or someone trying to build a better life, this conversation challenges how you think, who you listen to, and the rooms you choose to sit in. This is not theory. It’s pattern recognition—from people who’ve lived it.

This Experience Rewires How You Think, Feel, and Lead ft. Debi Silber | The Kronos Group Podcast #298
Betrayal 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.

What Sports Teach Us About Building Real Businesses | The Kronos Group Podcast #297
Entrepreneurship isn’t viral — it’s disciplined. In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd break down why building a real business is far more like sports than social media. Championships aren’t won on highlight plays. They’re won in practice, repetition, and fundamentals. This conversation connects lessons from sports, leadership, and life to entrepreneurship — and why consistency, execution, and discipline matter more than motivation or visibility. In this episode, we cover: Why business is a long season, not a highlight reel How discipline beats motivation every time What sports teach us about leadership and pressure Why fundamentals matter more in tough markets The danger of chasing attention instead of execution How real entrepreneurs stay focused long-term This episode is for business owners who are building something real — even when it feels slow, quiet, or unrecognized.

The Costly LinkedIn Mistakes That Entrepreneurs Keep Making ft. Daniel Alfon | The Kronos Group Podcast #296
I’ve watched a lot of platforms come and go. What hasn’t changed is this: business still moves through relationships. In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, I sat down with Daniel Alfon, one of the earliest LinkedIn users, to talk about why most entrepreneurs are frustrated with LinkedIn — and why it’s usually not the platform’s fault. Daniel’s been on LinkedIn since the early 2000s. He’s made the mistakes, chased the metrics, tried the automation — and figured out what actually works for business owners. Here’s the short version: LinkedIn isn’t social media. It’s the world’s largest business network. In this conversation, we break down: Why networking beats posting every time The difference between most connected and best connected Why vanity metrics don’t translate to revenue How referrals really happen on LinkedIn Why peer groups outperform ads and automation If you’re running a business between $1M–$25M in revenue, this episode will change how you think about LinkedIn — and relationships in general.

The Real Pressure Facing Entrepreneurs in 2026 | The Kronos Group Podcast #295
In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie is joined by Matt Floyd and Steve Floyd for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, economic pressure, culture shifts, and what business owners are actually dealing with in 2026. From global events like Davos and government spending, to the real impact of debt, inflation, and avoided conversations, this episode breaks down how external pressure exposes internal leadership gaps — especially for entrepreneurs running businesses between $1M–$25M in annual revenue. This isn’t political commentary for clicks. It’s an operator-level discussion about responsibility, decision-making, and the cost of inaction. In this episode, we cover: Why rising debt and inflation amplify leadership mistakes How avoided conversations quietly turn into six-figure problems What global economic shifts signal for small and mid-sized businesses The pressure business owners carry that no one talks about Why peer advisory groups matter more in uncertain markets Leadership, accountability, and the human cost of ownership If you’re a business owner feeling squeezed from every direction, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.

Hard Conversations, High Interest Rates, and the Hidden Cost to Business Owners | The Kronos Group Podcast #293
What happens when rising credit card rates collide with avoided leadership decisions? In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd break down a reality many business owners are feeling right now — tighter cash flow, higher interest costs, and more pressure to make decisions that have been delayed too long. This isn’t a conversation about politics or predictions. It’s about how financial pressure exposes leadership gaps. Jerry shares a real example of how avoiding one hard conversation ended up costing $125,000, and why rising credit card interest rates only amplify the cost of indecision for businesses operating between $1M–$25M in annual revenue. In this episode, we cover: Why rising credit card rates expose weak communication fast How avoided conversations quietly turn into financial losses The real cost of “we’ll deal with it later” in business Why cash flow problems often start as communication problems How leadership clarity protects margins in tighter markets Why peer advisory conversations help owners see issues sooner If you’re a business owner using credit cards as working capital, managing debt, or feeling margin pressure — this episode will hit close to home.
