The Only Constant is Change

Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast

In this episode of Business Brain, Dave and Shannon kick things off with a fun nod to National Shower with a Friend Day. They chat about the show’s upcoming 10th anniversary on February 19th and brainstorm some celebration ideas, like giveaways for listeners who submit questions or leave reviews. They’re still deciding what the prize will be, but promise it’ll be something big.

The main focus of the episode is all about embracing change in business. Shannon shares a story about a client whose product suddenly became obsolete, highlighting the importance of adapting to stay ahead. They both emphasize that if you’re not actively evolving your business, you risk falling behind. Dave draws parallels to Apple’s strategy of making their own products obsolete to stay innovative.

They also discuss their own evolution with the podcast—from calling it DBA (Doing Business As) to shifting away from frequent interviews to keep things fresh. Dave mentions how he had to adjust when his co-host left another show he runs, choosing to do solo episodes rather than scrambling for guests.

The episode wraps up with practical advice on the importance of following up in business. Dave talks about using tools like SaneBox to manage email reminders and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. Shannon likes the idea and plans to try it out. They encourage listeners to share productivity tips and, of course, leave reviews to get in on the giveaway action.

Overall, it’s a laid-back, insightful episode focused on adapting to change, staying proactive in business, and keeping things exciting for both you and your audience.
