このコンテンツについて

The 21 Hats Podcast presents an authentic weekly conversation with small business owners who are remarkably willing to share what’s working for them and what isn’t. Unlike many business podcasts, which tend to talk to highly successful entrepreneurs whose struggles are in the past, the 21 Hats Podcast features a rotating cast of business owners who are still very much in the trenches fighting the good fight. Every week, our regulars gather to talk about the kinds of important issues many owners won’t even discuss behind closed doors: whether their businesses are as profitable as they should be, whether they are willing to give up some control to an investor in order to grow faster, why they had to lay off employees, how they wound up with way too much inventory, why they don’t have a succession plan, and even why they are concerned about their own mental health. Visit 21hats.com to hear all of our podcast episodes, read episode transcripts, and learn more. The show is produced by Jess Thoubboron, founder of Blank Word.Copyright 21 Hats マネジメント・リーダーシップ マーケティング マーケティング・セールス リーダーシップ 政治・政府 経済学

  • Dashboard: Three Metrics for ‘White Knuckle’ Times
    2025/06/30
    This week, Tracy Bech, co-author of “The 60-Minute CFO,” tells us that she normally recommends that business owners check 14 performance measures on a regular basis. But during uncertain times like these, Tracy says, there are three in particular to keep an eye on: gross profit margin, operating cash flow, and current ratio. In our conversation, she explains how they work, what they mean, and what to do if they’re flashing red. She also says you can download a free tool to track your cash flow at 60minutecfo.com.

  • Why Don’t You Just Sell the Business?
    2025/06/24
    This week, in Episode 252, David Barnett, Mel Gravely, and Kate Morgan discuss a somewhat unusual approach to succession, which is to not sell the business. Basically, it’s about taking a step back from leadership while maintaining ownership, and both Kate and especially Mel are moving in this direction. The approach can pay off financially in part because businesses often are worth more to the owner than they would be to a buyer. Why is that? As David explains, the business that the buyer buys isn’t really the same business that the owner sells: “If you've owned the business for a long time,” he says, “the balance sheet is probably pretty strong. You've had time to earn money, pay down debts. You’ve got a good equity position. This makes the business strong, and it makes it better able to weather storms. If I were to come along and buy Mel's business, I would come together on a price, and I would pay Mel. But a good chunk of that money would probably be borrowed. Now, I would have a much weaker balance sheet than what Mel enjoys today. And a big chunk of the cash flow that he currently enjoys, I would end up giving to my bank.” Of course, this approach to succession does have some challenging elements, including finding someone to run the business. Plus: We also discuss whether it’s possible to sell a solopreneur business.

  • Dashboard: Don’t Believe the AI Hype (Yet)
    2025/06/23
    This week, Gene Marks tells us why he’s skeptical of corporate CEOs like Amazon’s Andy Jassy who have started telling employees that they are likely to lose their jobs as the company continues to adopt tools that use artificial intelligence. Gene thinks CEOs who blame AI for corporate layoffs are really covering for bad management. In fact, he thinks anyone who is already replacing employees with AI is a fool. On the other hand, Gene tells us he’s incorporating AI tools into almost every aspect of his business, and he gives us some examples.
