The Importance of Checking In
Tracey and CJ discuss the importance of checking in with your customers. Following up with your customers helps improve their overall experience with your company. You might even solve problems before they become an issue. For example, if you communicate with your customers even after a sale is made, you will be able to deal with any problems they had with your products quickly. If you let your customers know you’re willing to help and heading off problems at the pass, you’ll avoid negative online reviews, and you might even save your company numerous refunds. I know we don’t like to think about our customers having problems with our products or services, this is just a reality of doing business. By improving the customer’s experience with quick follow-up and great customer service, your customers will feel like they can trust you. But more importantly, you should check in on your customers just to see how they are personally. You should also check in on your health, your relationships, your spirit, get the idea?

Ep 40: The Impact Stress can have on an Entreprenuer
Stress manifests in the body and behaviors first. You’ll start to notice your temper getting shorter, appetite changing, and sleep becoming more difficult. Even cravings for high-calorie foods emerge. The more stressed out we become, the more our perspective shifts to believe there isn’t time for enjoyable things. We sense that enjoyable things, like learning new concepts, no longer fit into our schedules. Perspective becomes narrow. This leads to decisions based on fear, which can be destructive in the long term. So, take a listen as Tracey and CJ discuss the impact stress can have on the life of an Entrepreneur and the steps you can take in dealing with it.

Ep 34: Avoiding Failure with Frank Sasso
Part 4 of 4:
Sometimes, failure is a gift. It can act as an opportunity to understand our flaws and how we can improve ourselves. This sort of mentality is essential in successful entrepreneurship. Failure, just the same in martial arts, is a part of business. The type of failure that former UFC fighter, Frank Sasso, discusses with Tracey and CJ on this episode is the type of failure to AVOID. Tune in to listen, learn, and share!
Listen:
Ep 33: The "Get Up" Episode with Frank Sasso
Part 3 of 4:
Plenty of fighters get knocked down over and over but get up –often bruised and bloody—and get that one strike in that wins the match. If you stay down it’s hard to come back swinging. If you feel like life is knocking you down, stand up and yell: "I’m still here!”
You’re still here. You didn’t die from what happened. Maybe your ego or sense of security did but you’re still here. And while you’re still here you can pick yourself up and do your best to move on from the knockout punch life gave you. You can lie there and retreat into misery or depression or remember that you’re still here and can find your way out of it. This week, Tracey and CJ talk with retired UFC fighter, Frank "Ferocious" Sasso about GETTING UP when you've been "knocked down".
Listen:
Ep 32: Embracing Your Customers with Frank Sasso
Part 2 of 4:
Former UFC fighter, Frank "Ferocious" Sasso talks with Cj Meenan and Tracey Syphax this week about embracing your customers. There's a world champion at every weight class at any given time, but only a few rise to real fame even within the sport. Those who do use interview time, social media, blogging and crossover publicity to create a real relationship with their fans. The fans return that love and skyrocket the fighter's career to new levels. "Take every opportunity you can to help your best customers appreciate and celebrate the fact that they're your customers", says Sasso. "Social media shout-outs, on-site parties, even a brief mention in a news interview can go a long way toward turning them from customers to fans."
Listen:
Ep 31: Building Mental Toughness with Frank Sasso
Part 1 of 4:
Business isn't a spectator sport, of course, though it turns out that we can learn some surprising and valuable lessons from the world of Mixed Martial Arts competitors. Innumerable business lessons can be gleaned from fighting—hence the prevalence of expressions like "game plan", "playbook", and "step up to the plate" in the world of business. Maybe in this context we should add "roll with the punches." This week, Tracey and CJ sit with retired UFC fighter, Frank Sasso (aka FEROCIOUS) to discuss building "mental toughness" for the ring and how he applies the same routine to his day-to-day businesses.
Listen:

Listen:
Ep 29: Race and Entrepreneurship
Part 3 of 4.
Entrepreneurship is often touted as an economic opportunity that embodies American ideals of individualism and financial gain. Yet social scientists have long noted divergent entrepreneurial outcomes among various groups. In this episode, CJ Meenan and Kevin Wortham (with the return of Tracey Syphax) discuss how race informs entrepreneurship for minority business owners. In particular, they focus on the ways black entrepreneurs use racial counter-frames as a means of defining various aspects of the entrepreneurial experience.
Listen:
Ep 28: Why Entrepreneurs Should Adopt the Mindset of an Athlete
Part 2 of 4 with Special Guest, Kevin Wortham
If entrepreneurs want to build a successful company, they need an athlete mindset, and just like an athlete, they must train for success. Athletes don’t become successful through luck.

Listen:

Listen:
Ep 26: "Train Up a Child the Way He Should Go" featuring Darren "Freedom" Green
Part 4 of 4:
The school system wants students to focus on the task assigned, not go off and dream up their own projects or become child entrepreneurs. Following direction is rewarded, and deviating from it or coloring outside the lines, so to speak, is met with labeling (ADD or COD) or with punishment. Guidance counselors often encourage kids to pursue traditional careers, ones that require university education. There is very little talk, if any, of starting a business. Let's face it, the school system as a whole discourages entrepreneurial thinking on a fundamental level; they prepare students to become good employees. Join Tracey, CJ, and Freedom Green as they unpack this very important issue!
Listen:
Ep 25: Making Money VS. Creating Wealth featuring Darren "Freedom" Green
Part 3 of 4:
When we think of “rich,” we think of the visible signs of money we’re socialized to recognize, like fancy cars, big homes, and designer clothes. But even though the “rich” have a high income, some spend money as fast as it comes in. In this sense, being rich can be more difficult to maintain. It’s highly dependent on money coming in – usually in the form of a paycheck. And, many times, those who have all the conspicuous signs of being “rich” have substantial debt to support their lifestyle.
“Rich” can disappear as fast as the next paycheck.
But many wealthy people don’t display outward signs of being rich. They may have the money to buy luxury items, but a high percentage of wealthy people don’t own expensive cars, large, modern homes, or designer clothing. Wealth is something that lasts, endures, gets past on from generation to generation. Rich is temporal; However, Wealth Minded people delay immediate gratification to create long-term financial security. Darren "Freedom" Green returns for Part 3 of a 4 part Street StartUps mini-series to discuss this very topic!
Listen:
Ep 24: Entrepreneurial Ecosystem featuring Darren "Freedom" Green
Part 2 of 4:
The Entrepreneurial Ecosystem is the social and economic environment affecting local or regional entrepreneurship. Darren "FREEDOM" Green returns this week to unpack this fascinating topic with Tracey and CJ! You'll soon discover that if "you can't fund your freedom, how free are you?" Enjoy!
Listen:
Ep 23: Poverty Mindsets featuring Darren "Freedom" Green
Part 1 of 4:
The first of a special 4 episode series with Darren "Freedom" Green! Darren is an educator, motivational speaker, but he's really a "subject matter specialist". "Give me the subject matter", Darren says, "and I'll make it special!" In this first episode of 4, Darren joins Tracey and CJ as they address the "Poverty mindset". Like many other things, a poverty mindset robs a person of any real quality of life, serves to maintain a broken spirit, eliminates the desire for excellence and accords the acceptance of a life of poverty. #PovertyMindset #YouAreAbrand #YouAreaWalkingBusiness
Listen:
Ep 22: Collaboration in Business
Collaboration sometimes seems to be the last thing on the mind of entrepreneurs. It is quite disappointing and interesting as the same time, as to why most prefer to compete, and not collaborate. Historically and traditionally, businesses can be built and nurtured by collaborating and not by competing. It is human nature to compete, but the urge to win comes along with jealousy and ego. This can hinder progress of a project that is aimed toward a noble and useful cause. Tracey and CJ tackle the mindset that goes along with this very issue. Enjoy!
Listen:
Ep 21: Starting a Business with no Money
“I’ve got a great idea for a business. But I don’t have any money to start it up.” This phrase is something Tracey and CJ have heard again and again . . . and again—from students, friends, and sometimes even colleagues. While it’s true that a generous credit line, a team of investors, or an uncle with deep pockets can make starting a company easier, not having money is no excuse. If you are confident that you have a product or service people want, don’t allow the lack of capital to deter you from your business goals. By pivoting, grinding it out, getting creative, and differentiating yourself, you can bootstrap your way to a successful business. Listen in as Tracey and CJ unpack this common issue with potential entrepreneurs.
Listen:
Ep 20: People's Perception
Customer perception refers to the customer's opinion of your business or products. It summarizes how customers feel about your brand including every direct or indirect experience they've had with your company. By monitoring customer perception, your businesses can spot common user pain points and improve the customer journey—however, friends from your past and sometimes even your family's perception of you is an entirely different thing. These people knew you BEFORE you ever became a business owner or entrepreneur. They've seen you at your worst, and now, you expect them to see you as a successful business owner? Well, it's not impossible but it is rare. Remember, other people's perception of you is none of your business. Listen in as Tracey and CJ discuss that very topic.
Listen:

Listen:
Ep 18: The Underground Economy
The underground economy refers to economic transactions that are deemed illegal, either because the goods or services traded are unlawful in nature, or because transactions fail to comply with governmental reporting requirements. If you want to understand long term wealth, listen in as Tracey and CJ unpack this hot topic!
Listen:
Ep 17: To Pivot or not to Pivot
A pivot in business usually occurs when a company make a fundamental change to their business after determining that their product or service isn't meeting the needs of their intended market. CJ likens it to changing lanes while driving on a highway; "You're not necessarily exiting the highway, you're still going in the same direction, you're just changing lanes". Join Tracey and CJ this week as they discuss when to change lanes and pivot and when the time for exiting the highway is appropriate. As Tracey says, "If it doesn't make sense (cents) then the business won't make dollars" - if the pivot isn't logical, beneficial, or profitable, don't do it.
Listen:
Ep 16: Q&A

Listen:
Season II - Ep 15: Balance between Big and Small Businesses
