  • Ep 275 The 7 Profitable Parts of a Business with James Brown

    Ep 275 The 7 Profitable Parts of a Business with James Brown
    2025/07/01
    The 7 Profitable Parts of a Business with James Brown If you think scaling a business means sacrificing your life, family, and freedom—this episode will shatter that belief. In this week’s episode of The Profit Answer Man, we talk to James Brown, the founder of Perseverance Squared and the Business Accelerator Institute, who shares how he built an $8M law firm across four cities—without grinding 80-hour weeks. Instead, he built a business that bought back his time, gave him freedom, and funded his life purpose. Whether you're a solo operator, multi-location service provider, or scaling a firm—this episode gives you the roadmap to do it profitably and sustainably, all while putting Profit First. In This Episode, You Will Learn: How James went from GM assembly lines to law school to running an $8M firm. The myth of the hustle and why "buying back your time" must be part of your strategy.The game-changing moment Profit First reshaped how he viewed business finance.How he systematized his firm so well, he could travel for weeks—and revenue didn’t drop.The difference between a business owner and an operator (and how to become the former).What you can implement today to take your hands off the wheel without crashing your business. Key Takeaways: Build to Exit Before You Need To. James sold his law firm at 49—not because he had to, but because he planned for it. “I never wanted to be 60 and still reviewing client files,” he said.Profit is a Habit, Not an Event. Switching to Profit First forced him to be intentional. He stopped hoping for leftovers and started allocating profit first—literally.If You’re the Bottleneck, You’re the Problem. The business didn't need him. That was the goal. "I designed my firm so I could leave at a moment's notice," James shared. The systems ran the business.Business Should Fund Your Life—Not Consume It. When his son got a last-minute hockey invite in Europe, he packed up and went for three weeks. No stress. That’s the power of designing the right systems from day one.Coaching Is a Force Multiplier. James has now helped over 450 business owners scale smarter—not harder—through his coaching and accelerator programs. Guest Bio: James Brown is the CEO and Founder of Business Accelerator Institute and Perseverance Squared. He launched his first business in 1994 and scaled it to $8M in revenue, eventually selling it to pursue his passion for coaching entrepreneurs. As a former fractional CEO and SLFU Program Manager, he launched Small Law Firm University and developed a marketing program generating $2M annually. James is the co-author of the best-selling book Shift Happens and holds a JD from St. Louis University and a business degree from Lindenwood University. Conclusion: Are You Running a Business or Just Working a Job? James’ story proves what we teach: a business should be built to give you time, money, and freedom—not steal them from you. If you’re stuck in the weeds, constantly solving problems, and unsure where your profit is going—it’s time for a change. You don't have to build alone. We're here to help you implement Profit First, take control of your cash flow, and scale strategically.

    Ep 273 Stop the Stupid, Proactive Problem Solving with Doug Hall
    2025/06/17
    Stop the Stupid, Proactive Problem Solving with Doug Hall Stop the Stupid, Increase Profits: Unlocking the Hidden Power of Proactive Problem Solving with Doug Hall Imagine running a business where your team is fully engaged, dumb processes are eliminated, and profits grow as a byproduct of operational clarity. That’s not a fantasy—it’s the Profit First future that innovation expert Doug Hall lays out in this episode of The Profit Answer Man. Doug has spent nearly 50 years innovating and coaching at the highest levels—from Procter & Gamble to launching his own distillery. Today, he’s here to help you “stop the stupid” and start leading a high-performance, high-profit team. Doug isn't just talking theory. He’s lived this transformation, and in this episode, he gives you the blueprint to build a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and scalable profit. Ready to turn your employees into proactive problem solvers? Read on… In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why "stop the stupid" is more than a catchphrase—it's a profitability strategy.How Doug created cultural buy-in with frontline distillery workers and turned skeptics into profit generators.The #1 mindset shift leaders must embrace to get their team aligned with business goals. A real-life system for transforming your business from chaos to clarity—without burning everyone out.The simple opening line that Doug used to flip disengagement into excitement (you’ll want to steal this!). Key Takeaways: Proactive Problem Solving Begins With the Frontline. Doug’s strategy starts with fixing what employees already hate. When you solve their problems first—like back pain from poor equipment—you earn the right to solve your business problems next.Broken Systems Are Margin Killers. You’re not losing profit because of the market—you’re losing it because of inefficiency. Doug shows how identifying daily process friction is the first step to improving cash flow and boosting morale.Innovation Isn’t Just Big Ideas—It’s Fixing Dumb Stuff. We often chase grand strategies while tripping over small, solvable issues. Doug’s framework filters ideas based on feasibility and ROI, turning every team member into a profit multiplier.Employees Don’t Want to Be ‘Managed’—They Want to Matter. This episode explores how to lead with clarity, accountability, and trust. Doug shares how to train staff to think, solve, and take ownership—even if they’re working the bottling line.Real Innovation Happens When Systems Support People. From Procter & Gamble to his own distillery, Doug explains how scalable growth comes from clear systems, engaged people, and leadership that empowers both. Meet Doug Hall: Doug Hall, author of PROACTIVE Problem Solving, is the founder of Eureka! Ranch and Brain Brew Distillery. Named one of America’s top innovation experts by Inc. and The Wall Street Journal, Doug has helped Fortune 500 companies and gritty entrepreneurs alike find, filter, and fast-track big ideas. A former Master Marketing Inventor at P&G, Doug brings an engineer’s precision and a rebel’s mindset to the business world. Fun fact: He’s been awarded two honorary doctorates—for engineering and laws—for his game-changing work in business innovation. Conclusion: Innovation Without Profit Is Just Noise If your team is disengaged, if systems are broken, or if profits are inconsistent—stop the stupid. You don't need more revenue to fix this. You need better alignment, smarter problem solving, and the courage to challenge business-as-usual.

  • Ep 272 Scaling In The Age of Digital Disruption with Mike Peterson

    Ep 272 Scaling In The Age of Digital Disruption with Mike Peterson
    2025/06/10
    Scaling In The Age of Digital Disruption with Mike Peterson Are your teams helping you scale—or silently sabotaging your margins? In today’s episode, we dig into the critical intersection of people, process, and technology with Mike Peterson, author of Leading in the Age of Digital Disruption and founder of Apex Consulting Partners. Mike brings a rare combination of HR and IT expertise to the table—two departments that can either clash or collaborate to drive exponential growth when led strategically. Mike’s story is one of corporate reinvention. After a health scare, he left the executive grind to help leaders build high-performing teams that don’t just work—but work profitably. If you're stuck with cultural friction, technology that no one uses, or leadership that lacks alignment, this episode is for you. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why most businesses underutilize their IT teams and how to align tech with the bottom line.How to turn human capital into a strategic multiplier, not an overhead line item.How digital transformation fails when change management and culture are ignored.Mike’s framework for identifying misalignment between people, process, and profit goals.The simple but powerful question leaders should ask to unlock performance (and it's not about KPIs). Key Takeaways: HR and IT must stop operating in silos. When united, they become the backbone of scalable, high-margin operations.Technology is not a cost center—unless you make it one. ROI from systems comes when people understand the "why" behind the tools.High-performing teams aren’t built by perks. They're built by clarity, alignment, and accountability—especially in hybrid or remote environments.If your team isn't supporting your vision, it's draining your cash flow. Mike explains how to recalibrate roles and culture to support strategic goals.Profitability comes from process discipline and people performance. Get both wrong, and growth turns toxic. Guest Bio: Mike Peterson is the founder and managing partner of Apex Consulting Partners LLC and the author of Leading in the Age of Digital Disruption. With nearly two decades of global experience in HR and IT leadership at companies like BioMarin and Structure Therapeutics, Mike now helps companies strategically integrate people and technology to build high-performing, scalable operations. He’s a certified HR professional through SHRM and the HRCI. Conclusion The true cost of poor team performance isn't just friction—it’s profit erosion. Mike Peterson reminds us that the businesses that scale profitably aren’t the ones with the flashiest tools or the busiest calendars. They’re the ones with high alignment, disciplined execution, and a culture that’s built to last. If your team feels like a tax on your time and wallet, it’s time to recalibrate. Let’s make your people your greatest profit center.

  • Ep 271 Business Growth Do's and Don'ts to Drive Profit with Carolyn Lowe

    Ep 271 Business Growth Do's and Don'ts to Drive Profit with Carolyn Lowe
    2025/06/03
    Business Growth Do's and Don'ts with Carolyn Lowe Scaling Smarter – How Carolyn Lowe Uses Profit First to Power High-Growth Amazon Brands Are your people profitable—or just payroll? In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we're diving deep into the often-ignored truth of agency growth: labor isn't your biggest expense—it’s your biggest risk. Carolyn Lowe, founder of ROI Swift and a fierce advocate for Profit First, reveals the real math behind scaling service businesses profitably and sustainably. Carolyn isn’t just another agency owner. She’s scaled brands from $30K to $600K/month profitably on Amazon, lived the corporate gauntlet at Dell, and now advises brands on how to grow without burning through their cash. From Fortune 100 boardrooms to scrappy startup trenches, she’s seen it all—and she’s here to break down what works. If you're serious about growing your business without losing your sanity or your margins, this is an episode you can't afford to miss. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why overstaffing is the silent killer of service businesses—and how Carolyn avoids it with a simple ratio.How ROI Swift uses labor efficiency ratios to guide every hiring decision.The surprising connection between lean teams and explosive profit margins.Why Profit First is a must-have playbook in low-margin, high-volume industries like Amazon services.How Carolyn applies EOS-style thinking to team structure and profitability. Key Takeaways: 85% of expenses = people. In a service-based agency, margin management begins (and ends) with smart staffing.Labor Efficiency Ratio (LER) is Carolyn’s north star. For every $1 in wages, her team must generate $2–$3 in revenue.Profit First is not optional. Even in hyper-growth, ROI Swift sticks to its allocations to avoid chaos and cash crunches.Growth ≠ headcount. Carolyn scaled a brand 20x by improving systems—not just hiring more people.If your profit is shrinking, look at your payroll first. Staffing bloat is the most common margin killer in scale-stage businesses. About Carolyn Lowe: Carolyn Lowe founded ROI Swift in 2015 after seeing too many small brands overpay for underwhelming agency results. Her mission? Help 500 emerging brands grow profitably on Amazon. With a track record of turning brands from red to roaring—in one case from $30K/mo unprofitable to $600K/mo profitably in under 2 years—Carolyn walks her talk. She's also the author of Business Do’s and Absolute Don’ts, distilling wisdom from her work at Dell, Costco, Amazon, and multiple startups. Oh, and fun fact? She’s a licensed pilot (though these days she’s too busy helping brands take off). Conclusion: Growth is a Math Problem—So Do the Math Carolyn Lowe doesn’t scale businesses by guessing. She uses math, metrics, and Profit First to create profitable growth without chaos. If you're tired of hiring ahead of revenue—or watching your payroll eat your profit—this episode gives you the blueprint.

    Ep 270 Profit First for Lawyers and You with Rjon Robins
    2025/05/27
    Profit First for Lawyers and You with Rjon Robins Unlocking Profits for Lawyers: RJon Robins on Escaping the Trap of Traditional Accounting Are you unknowingly flying blind in your business? If your accountant is giving you a rearview mirror of what already happened, instead of a roadmap to where you’re going, you may be sabotaging your profits—and not even know it. In this high-impact episode of The Profit Answer Man, we sit down with legendary entrepreneur, attorney, and author RJon Robins to blow the lid off common financial myths that are keeping small law firm owners broke, overworked, and stuck. If you’re running a law firm—or any service-based business—this is the financial intervention you didn’t know you needed. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: The shocking truth about why your accountant may be hurting your business.The difference between a financial accountant and a management accountant—and which one you actually need.Why Profit First is more than a book—it's a strategic doctrine of freedom.How to build businesses that are instantly profitable—and run without you.The mindset shift from sacrifice to profit (and why this matters more than your marketing plan). Key Takeaways: Not All Accountants Are Created Equal: RJon breaks down why most small business owners rely on the wrong type of accountant and what that costs them in clarity and cash flow.Rearview vs. Roadmap: Traditional CPAs are historians. What you need is a strategic partner who helps you see ahead and build profit into your future. Law Firm? No Excuses: If RJon can help lawyers (the ultimate billable-hour addicts) become profitable business owners, the rest of us have no excuse.Doctrine of Profit: RJon’s core philosophy turns the typical entrepreneurial suffering narrative on its head. You don’t need to burn out to be successful.Only 90 Days a Year: RJon now works in his main business just 90 days a year. He spends the rest of his time launching ventures that are immediately profitable. That’s not luck—it’s strategy. About RJon Robins: RJon Robins is the 8-figure founder of How to Manage a Small Law Firm, author of Profit First for Lawyers, and a serial entrepreneur who has grown his business by 8,000% since starting from his kitchen table. A licensed attorney who speaks to thousands of law firm owners every year, he’s built a business that runs largely without him—and now teaches others how to do the same. His latest book, Profit First for Lawyers, is a #1 Amazon bestseller, helping professionals stop sacrificing and start profiting. Conclusion: Are You Stuck in the Doctrine of Sacrifice? If you’re still treating profit like a leftover instead of a priority, it’s time to flip the script. RJon and Rocky expose the lie behind the “work harder” trap and deliver the truth: profit is a choice, not a mystery.
