  • Inspirational

    I have followed this show for the last five years and have found it’s been quite helpful running my construction business. I have nothing but good things to say about it and recommend it to many I just have one complaint.

    I find it disingenuous when the host goes for a swear word and it’s bleeped out. I realize it has a clean rating but common’ we’re all contractors, we’ve heard worse. I’d suggest the host (current & past) either doesn’t use that language at all or doesn’t cover up the emotion ... more

  • Feeds on Drama - Not about Business

    Started listening to these podcasts for the business transformation stories and was blown away that the hosts feed on the drama of the guest speakers. What’s worse, is that they don’t validate if the information is true that their guests are saying. Painful to listen to.

  • So good! Makes me fake notes

    Definitely one of the most engaging and inspiring business development podcasts out there. I’ve been absolutely loving listening to it. The people interviewed are so inspiring, and Benji and Igor lead a great discussion. I would honestly even trust their ads if there were any. They don’t know me, but I know they support my growth by sharing what feels like secrets.

277. How To Plan And Structure Your SOPs To Delegate Literally Anything - Moustafa Moursy

Start with mapping and understanding the workflow first, then identify the necessary features and training, avoid overemphasizing tools or integrations, and implement gradually with cadence to enforce usage.
277. How To Plan And Structure Your SOPs To Delegate Literally Anything - Moustafa Moursy
Q: What is the difference between a business process that actually works and one that looks good on paper?
The key is to align the process with real people and their daily work, ensuring buy-in, practical applicability, and ongoing evaluation rather than relying on theoretical design alone.
273. He Worked 90 Hours In A Week. Here’s What Happened - Chris Bailey
Q: How should entrepreneurs balance intuition with data when making big decisions?
Intuition grows with experience and pattern recognition, but it should be grounded in available information and tested against outcomes; use intuition for high-impact decisions while supporting it with data and reflection.
273. He Worked 90 Hours In A Week. Here’s What Happened - Chris Bailey
Q: What did you learn from the experiment of working 90 hours in a week?
I found that hours alone don't determine productivity; busywork can inflate perceived output, and shorter weeks forced greater intentionality and smarter delegation, though the trade-off includes fatigue and a need for strategic balance.
