New is always better, right? 

In this episode, Ian is joined Dave Soscia, Vice President of Cisco Product Management and Business Development at D&H Distributing to talk about his perspective on Cisco’s new partner program and how partners can optimize their profile before the launch date. Dave digs into how distribution can help partners with business analysis, practice consultations and even building and executing a business plan. The channel is changing, and partners are the ones who will continue to drive that change.

Small Business, Big Solutions: A 360 View of Cisco's New Partner Program

Here's what we know: People don't like surprises, especially unpleasant ones, and when information is missing, they'll fill in the gaps — rarely with generous assumptions. We break down why proactive communication with clients, your team, and even in your personal life feels harder than it should be, then share strategies for getting ahead of the narrative. From understanding why we avoid these conversations (spoiler: we assume people know more than they do) to crafting that perfectly timed heads-up email, we explore how transparent communication builds trust and prevents those awkward moments when everyone's caught off guard. It's not about having everything perfect; it's about communicating with intention before situations spiral out of control.

Quick, Send the Heads-Up Email

In this special episode of the Big Ideas for Small Business podcast, host Tim Hayden is joined by his wife, Dawn, for a heartfelt conversation about the other side of running a family business: family, marriage, and support.
Dawn, now an accomplished artist based in Upstate South Carolina, once put her career on hold to focus on raising their family so that Tim could grow the business. Together, they share their story, their sacrifices, and the key to making a family business work—at home and on the manufacturing floor.

This week Kat and Ian are diving into one of their favorite topics - Workplace Productivity. We've heard Ian's terrifying email organization (or lack thereof before), but believe it or not, this week he's coming in hot with the productive tips. 

Tune in this week for WebEx features that even Kat didn't know existed, and a general education on online folders for Ian.

We jump right in by talking...supplements? Kat may be Pablo Escobar, who knows. She makes her own preworkout, and the rules around here.

Kat then has a fire alarm, so we had to restart the show halfway through (shoutout to our production team, this ended up flowing really well).

We then get into what we meant to talk about: tips for balancing work and working out, and why we both think it is SO important. Spoiler: working out makes you a better employee. We share our best practices for committing and staying committed to fitness, no matter what our 9 to 5 throws at us!

404 Script Not Found: Work and Working Out

Capitalism: An economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth. Friedrich Hayek in his book, The Road to Serfdom warns of the danger of tyranny that inevitably results from government control of economic decision-making through central planning. He further argues that the abandonment of individualism and classical liberalism inevitably leads to a loss of freedom, the creation of an oppressive society, the tyranny of a dictator, and the serfdom of the individual. Countless men and women worked together to create the breakthroughs that today inspire us with awe. It is their stories – of ambition, of bravery, of hope, and of trust in their companions – that we should celebrate as the true legacy of capitalism.

Mike, Brook and A'marri discuss their new process for hiring as well as learning lessons from the past, how people spend all their time looking for jobs instead of working them, how hiring is a stress tester for your managers as well as a quick journey into the similarities between managing and being a father.
1:15 Mike introduces the concept of “time wasters” and how they show up in business—especially in hiring, partnerships, and communication.
5:30 Brook talks about how vague job interviews and non-committal communication are early red flags when hiring or delegating tasks.
10:45 A’marri shares a personal experience with a job candidate who failed to follow up, stressing the importance of action over talk.
14:20 Mike outlines the “Four Filters” they use in their hiring process to quickly weed out unreliable applicants.
20:05 The team emphasizes that time is more valuable than money—and learning to protect it is one of the most important business skills you can build.


The Time Wasters

Brand marketing vs. performance marketing. It's not about picking sides — it's about understanding the dance. Performance marketing drives the clicks and the sales, but brand marketing? That's the reason anyone cares in the first place.

Here's what most people miss: these two approaches work better together than apart. Drawing insights from Nielsen research showing that 71% of people say they’re more likely to buy from a brand they recognize, we explore how brand marketing creates the conditions where your performance marketing can actually work. Tune in as we break down the difference between transactional and relational marketing, why consistent storytelling matters more than you think, and how values-driven messaging builds the kind of loyalty that turns into long-term business growth.

Case Study: Brand Marketing with Redhead

Your business isn't expanding as quickly as you'd like. 
You need more resources, time, and capital to turn your vision into reality. 
Whether it's hiring skilled professionals, ramping up marketing efforts, acquiring equipment, or opening a new location, the common hurdle is obtaining the necessary funding and credit. Joining Cheri today is Wade Erickson and Brittany Winner with TJ Corporate Credit Consultants who specialize in helping businesses build corporate credit, get funding through bank relationships and programs as well as many other areas that support business efficiency and growth.

Watch Out: Hackers Are Logging In – Not Breaking In

There's a lot covered in this episode, but we can't promise that ANY of it has to do with tech outside of a mention of a certain service provider. 

Early on, Kat lays all of her superstitions (or stitions?) on the line, then Ian spends about 13 minutes of your time analyzing grocery store (technically a small business?) operations and logistics (and his recurring issues) Get this man in front of Publix's board!

404 Script Not Found: Things That Shouldn't Bother Us

We've all seen internet trolls who jump straight to outrage without understanding the full story. But here's the uncomfortable truth: We all do this sometimes. In our everyday work and relationships, we jump to conclusions, assign motives, or make decisions based on half the story. It's human nature to want to find an explanation and solve problems quickly, but that instinct can backfire spectacularly.

In this episode, we dig into why our brains are so quick to fill in the gaps with assumptions — often wrong ones. Sharing real examples from our work-lives, we explore what's really happening when we assume the worst and talk about practical ways to slow down, ask better questions, and let curiosity lead instead of assumptions. Because when you take the time to get the full picture, you'll find better outcomes every time.

The Danger of Jumping to Conclusions

We're back talking tech this week, and class is in session. To start, we have a monumental moment where Kat promises she's made her final bit about Ian's age (unlikely) (1:10). 

The meat of this episode is on the Internet of Things (IoT). Kat tries her absolute best to understand what IoT means (3:15), even though her prep for this episode may or may have started with a prompt to Cisco's AI tool of "can you explain IoT to me like I'm 5".  BUT after 15 minutes of IoT bootcamp with Ian, she finally understands how Cisco solutions are working in real time AND the necessity of Ian updating his temperature of his home from the golf course (7:11)

Hi. Jen Estill and Karen Stefl here. In The Speak Easy Podcast, we share years of expertise in marketing, branding, video production, strategy—not to mention management, employee development, mentoring, sales, creativity, maintaining life balance, managing money, and.. you get the idea. It takes a lot to keep a couple of creative studios thriving. 

We developed this podcast after years of "how do you..." boss lady conversations. It was clear that if we were both in such similar places with regard to business growth, and personal growth, and work/life/motherhood/bossland balance, then other women may be, too. We'd been sharing confessions over cocktails for quite a while—solving problems, asking for advice, and whispering the secret fears and disappointments that successful women are never supposed to have. (You've had those, right? It's not just us?)

Thus, Speak Easy was born. Our goal and our promise is to speak with honesty about the challenges that experienced women in the creative industry face. To create a community where we can support one another and abandon the mantra that we put on a good face and make it look like we have it all together, even when we don't. You can expect honesty, complete vulnerability and even a good laugh.

And cocktails. You can expect cocktails.
