End-of-year chaos isn’t just exhausting; it exposes every crack in your business.

In this solo Maven Monday, Caleb steps into the host chair to talk about the one thing most leaders overlook when the pressure rises: how to actually lead your team through it without losing their hearts, focus, or sanity.

If the holidays, deadlines, PTO gaps, and Q4 expectations have your organization feeling stretched, distracted, or even a little frayed at the edges… this episode will help you steady the ship.

Inside, Caleb shares how to:
• keep your team anchored when stress peaks
• protect the vision when everything feels urgent
• spot disengagement before it becomes turnover
• stay real with your people without dumping weight on them

This isn’t theory. It’s the exact way we lead through our own heaviest season — and why our culture gets stronger instead of strained.

If you’re carrying a lot right now, this episode will carry some of it with you.

Getting 5-star reviews shouldn’t feel awkward, desperate, or hit-or-miss.

And yet… for most service businesses, it is.

In this Maven Monday, Brandon brings Kyle DeVries back to unpack a simple shift that turned one client’s stale review flow into a wave of fresh 5-stars — without begging, bribing, or hoping technicians “remember to ask.”

We’re talking small tweaks that create big confidence: better conversions, better leads, better performance across every marketing channel.

If you’ve ever wondered why your work is great… but your Google rating doesn’t show it, this episode opens the door.

What’s Your Gratitude Budget? (Most Businesses Don’t Have One)

This Maven Monday, Brandon asks a question most business owners have never considered — and it might change how you grow in 2026:

What if the most profitable move in your business has nothing to do with advertising… and everything to do with something you already have?

In a week when everyone else is thinking about gratitude at home, Brandon turns the lens toward your business and challenges a blind spot that drains margin, momentum, and morale in companies of every size.

Inside this episode, he unpacks:

• A surprising factor that quietly separates the most profitable companies from everyone else
• Why your marketing plan might be missing its highest-ROI line item
• A simple shift that can strengthen trust, increase loyalty, and energize your team

This episode will give you a perspective most leaders overlook… and can’t afford to ignore.

Inside this episode:
• Why short-form video suddenly matters for every local business
• The overlooked reason your competitors are getting found faster

Most business owners want more leads NOW.

But what if the real secret to growth isn’t found in a lead form... it’s found in the long game?

In this Maven Monday, Brandon sits down with longtime friend and business owner of The Window Source of Atlanta, Tyler Smith, to unpack what happened when he stopped chasing today’s customer and started building tomorrow’s.

Eighteen months later, his results speak for themselves. But the real story is how it feels to lead a business that’s known, trusted, and growing faster than ever.

It’s not about luck. It’s not about a new tactic.

It’s about what shifts when your brand starts working for you instead of the other way around.

If you’ve ever wondered what faith in the process really looks like, this one’s for you.

You don’t need a new ad, a bigger budget, or a better system to grow.

You might just need to look around the room.

Because sometimes, the breakthrough your business needs doesn’t come from a strategy meeting or a marketing plan, it comes from a conversation.

In this solo Maven Monday, Brandon slows things down to talk about something that costs nothing, compounds over time, and changes everything about how your team shows up.

It’s not a leadership framework.

It’s not a culture hack.

It’s something older and truer than all of that.

Because before you build the brand, you build the people who build the brand.

If you’ve been wondering how to spark energy in your team, recover trust, or reconnect with the heart behind your business, this episode will remind you where to start and how to multiply what’s already good.

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll get healthy when work slows down,” this episode might change your timeline.

In this Maven Monday, Brandon sits down with Jeremiah Dalton (investor, husband, father of three, and host of Long Island Legends) to unpack how a radical health reset transformed his energy, confidence, and profitability.

We’re not handing you a fad diet or a hero montage. We’re exploring the few levers Jeremiah pulled that turned burnout into momentum—and why they compound in business.

Inside this episode:
The breaking point that forced Jeremiah to rethink what “success” really means.
How small, repeatable habits built the discipline.
Why confidence doesn’t come from affirmations.
What happens when you start saying no to the wrong things in life and work.

This isn’t a fitness story. It’s a reminder that the habits you build in private are the ones that decide your results in public.
