Welcome back for another fun and intoxicated episode of Business Under the Influence! An irreverent and somewhat intoxicated discussion around business, leadership, marketing and more, from the consulting team at Catalyst Consulting. Each week we pick a topic to discuss (and probably also rant passionately about) to bring fellow business owners and entrepreneurs helpful insight and information about how to start, grow, run your business more effectively. This week, we are talking about value propositions, which are still confusing... like what's the difference between value props and elevator pitches? We definitely do our best to cover the differences and WHY you should have BOTH! And we do an EXCELLENT job at that by discussing the very possible real examples of flying robot monkey butlers and a coat manufacturer for mythical creatures. Also something about adult happy meals...? ALSO!! Join in on our drinking game! So, grab yourselves a drink and tune in to know when to take a drink! Rules: - Take a sip when a commonly used word and/or phrase is said... (you'll hear a ding) - Take a big gulp when you hear a business buzz word... (old microsoft chime) - FINISH your drink... when anyone (specifically Kristin) spills their wine... (no sound yet, coming soon!) We hope you enjoy!

Each week we pick a topic to discuss (and probably also rant passionately about) to bring fellow business owners and entrepreneurs helpful insight and information about how to start, grow, run your business more effectively.   This week, we discuss change management, and what the f**k that means. It corresponds with changes in the work place, how to determine who you should approach about possible change first, and how you can persuade them to the dark side and join your cult. We also have many real life stories to share with you all about undisclosed work places... enjoy!   ALSO!!   Join in on our drinking game!

DISCLAIMER: If you follow along with the drinking game in this episode, please be careful and moderate your intake, for there are WAY too many times we said our commonly used words and/or phrases (which would make sense considering how drunk we were at the time of recording)...   Welcome back for another fun and intoxicated episode of Business Under the Influence!   An irreverent and somewhat intoxicated discussion around business, leadership, marketing and more, from the consulting team at Catalyst Consulting.

To celebrate, we thought we would bring you a very special drunk episode. In episode 9 of where does the money go, we mentioned the episode was a retake because the first take we felt we were way too trashed to release it. So, in celebration of our 10th episode, we bring you our drunk special where we tried to talk about where the money goes, but found ourselves getting distracted and off topic MANY times. So please enjoy us making a fool of ourselves as we discuss lightweight ninja suits, and how much pie you should have in comparison to chart...   ALSO!!   Join in on our drinking game!

So, we break it all down and let you know of things you need to think about and consider when it comes to your money. And we may or may not explain it using the real-life example of our unicorn rodeo bar, and the cocaine innovation route... ALSO!! We're starting a drinking game.

Each week we pick a topic to discuss (and probably also rant passionately about) to bring fellow business owners and entrepreneurs helpful insight and information about how to start, grow, run your business more effectively.   This week, we discuss the oh so fun topic of recruiting and hiring, and we go into detail of the specialists and the generalists. Very complex and convoluted, so just listen to it and let us know what you think! And let us know if you think you're a specialist, or a generalist in the work place! We also include the real life example of a unicorn saddle business...   ALSO!!   We're starting a drinking game.

A branding and marketing GENIUS WIZARD, who talks all things related to brand marketing, and why logo designs are SUPER important for your brand! We might also get sidetracked and go down the rabbit hole of disc golf and roast some existing logos...   We hope you enjoy!   Make sure to check us out on our other socials:   Facebook: @businessundertheinfluencepod  Instagram: @businessunderinfluencepod  Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3A4zfmb Apple: https://apple.co/3JC6wsd Google: https://bit.ly/3vW17Xc YouTube: https://bit.ly/3zMTHXI

First and foremost, sorry for the shitty audio. We know it's a little rough, we're still working out the kinks. It will get better here in a few episodes; you'll just have to endure it in the meantime. Sorry... sorta. Please enjoy anyway!   Welcome back for another fun and intoxicated episode of Business Under the Influence!   An irreverent and somewhat intoxicated discussion around business, leadership, marketing and more, from the consulting team at Catalyst Consulting. Each week we pick a topic to discuss (and probably also rant passionately about) to bring fellow business owners and entrepreneurs helpful insight and information about how to start, grow, run your business more effectively.   This week, we talk about the difference between QUALITY and DONE metrics when it comes to running your business, and just everyday things. Depending on what you are focusing on or what you want the outcome to be, the difference between what is considered done or considered good quality is VASTLY different. But we do our best to explain what we mean, with the possible real life example of murder cubes and what goes on behind the scenes at McDonalds...    We hope you enjoy!   Make sure to check us out on our other socials:   Facebook: @businessundertheinfluencepod  Instagram: @businessunderinfluencepod  Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3A4zfmb Apple: https://apple.co/3JC6wsd Google: https://bit.ly/3vW17Xc YouTube: https://bit.ly/3zMTHXI

With the real life example of putting kids in cannons, and launching them at walls.   We hope you enjoy!   Make sure to check us out on our other socials:   Facebook: @businessundertheinfluencepod  Instagram: @businessunderinfluencepod  Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3A4zfmb Apple: https://apple.co/3JC6wsd Google: https://bit.ly/3vW17Xc YouTube: https://bit.ly/3zMTHXI

This goes hand in hand with our previous episode where we talked about toxic leadership traits. The Performance Management focuses on how leaders approach their team when it comes time to either reprimand or encourage the team members. This includes discussing promotion possibilities, how to help a team member work more efficiently, or letting someone know they are not improving and need to be put on a performance plan. Including real world examples of slapping tables for jobs, and having bunnies in the murder zone.    We hope you enjoy!   Make sure to check us out on our other socials:   Facebook: @businessundertheinfluencepod  Instagram: @businessunderinfluencepod  Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3A4zfmb  Apple: https://apple.co/3JC6wsd  Google: https://bit.ly/3vW17Xc  YouTube: https://bit.ly/3zMTHXI

This week, we focus on the wonderful topic of leadership. Particularly traditional leadership traits that are actually toxic... We all share stories and experiences from our pasts, and share what traits irk us the most! As well as what it means personally considering we have all been in leadership roles. I hope you all can learn something from this conversation and know what NOT to do in a leadership environment.  We hope you enjoy!
