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 discuss where on the earth does the f***in money go? When you have a small business, it is VERY important to understand and know exactly where you money goes if you ever want to make a profit. 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. 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 Kristin spills her wine... (no sound yet, coming soon!)
We hope you enjoy!

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...

This week, we have a very special guest, Tanner LaBelle! 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!

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!

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!

This week, we talk about pitch decks, and everything you need to know about them! What you should focus on when creating a pitch, how long your pitch should be, and why it is needed. And what it looks like in the corporate environment. With the real life example of putting kids in cannons, and launching them at walls. We hope you enjoy!

This week, we focus on the topic of Performance Management Cycle. 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!

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!

Do you want a podcast that's informative, educational, and hilarious? How about one that is made by millennials... for millennials!
Well here we are! Kristin Deese, Ben Howorth, and David Sullivan come together to talk all things business... while enjoying a sip of a certain kind of business. An unfiltered discussion of what goes on in the business world, behind the scenes, and things you outta know about! Plus the occasional side track and rabbit hole of everyday discussions.
Tune in for the knowledge, but leave laughing your head off. Please enjoy the randomness and weirdness that the three of us bring, and we hope that you can learn something out of it!
