Denise Griffitts - Your Partner In Success™ Radio!

Think you need to follow all the “rules” of podcasting? Think again.
My guest Matt Mawhinney, founder of PodAssist, has been behind the scenes of podcast production since 2015 and has worked on more than 8,500 podcast episodes.
So when Matt says, “There really are no rules,” he has some experience to back that up.
In our conversation, we talk about what actually matters when you're building a podcast, why podcasters get caught up in things that don't matter, the danger of spending thousands before you even know what your show is supposed to accomplish, and why having the right support behind the scenes can make all the difference.
Matt also talks about his own Podcast Permission Slip and why you don't have to be a performer to have something worth saying.
This is a conversation about podcasting without the pressure to do it someone else's way.
If you're thinking about starting a podcast, already have one, or you're simply wondering whether you've made podcasting more complicated than it needs to be, you're going to want to hear this one.

Sponsored By: Have you ever had the better facts, the better data, and even the better price, and still lost the deal? Why does that happen?
Paul Larche has spent more than 50 years in radio and advertising exploring exactly that question. He built and operated five radio stations, and along the way learned that people rarely make decisions based on logic alone.
In his book, The Divided Brain, Paul brings those lessons together in a practical look at how our fast, emotional Old Brain and slower, reasoning New Brain work together to shape the decisions we make.
The Divided Brain is the 2026 CANREADS Business/Marketing Winner and a 2025 BookLife Prize Semifinalist.

What can business leaders learn from actors, directors, and the theater?
Quite a bit as it turns out.
In this episode, Carl Walsh shares how his twenty years in theater and nearly three decades in the corporate world shaped the way he thinks about leadership, communication, creativity, and decision-making.
We talk about why different perspectives can lead to better decisions, how organizations can create room for creativity, what causes unnecessary friction in communication, and why ethical leadership still matters in the everyday choices businesses make.
Carl also shares what the business world can learn from the theater and why understanding human behavior is at the heart of building teams and organizations that actually work.

The Stories Behind the Man: What Life Taught Ben Gay III
We've spent a lot of time on The Closers Inner Circle Podcast talking about selling, closing, decision-makers, and the lessons inside The Closers books.
But who is the man behind all of those lessons?
In this episode of the Closers Inner Circle Podcast, Denise Griffitts sits down with Ben Gay III for a more personal conversation about the experiences that shaped his life, his thinking, and the way he sees people.
Ben shares stories from his childhood and family, lessons he learned from his father, experiences that changed his perspective, friendships formed during his time in prison, the people and animals who have mattered to him, and some of the experiences behind the philosophy he has taught for decades.
This isn't a sales lesson.
It's a conversation about the stories behind the lessons.
Because before Ben Gay III became the author of The Closers, a mentor to countless salespeople, and the final mentee of Napoleon Hill, he was simply a man having experiences, making mistakes, learning hard lessons, and collecting stories along the way.
And some of those stories explain Ben better than any biography ever could.
You can find the Closers Books on eBay at Ronzone Books.

You know how sometimes you have a conversation coming up that really matters, and you find yourself thinking, Okay, what am I actually going to say?
Maybe it's a podcast interview. Maybe it's a sales call. Maybe it's a difficult leadership conversation.
Most people don't rehearse those conversations. They just show up and hope they go well.
That's exactly why we created The Rehearsal Studio app. It gives you a place to practice the conversation before you're sitting across from the real person. You talk to an AI counterpart, have an actual spoken conversation, and then you can watch yourself back and see what worked, what didn't, and what you need to practice.
And our Sales Room module is inspired by the teaching and sales principles of Ben Gay III and his legendary The Closers books, giving you a way to practice those sales conversations before you're in the real one. The conversations that count deserve a rehearsal.
You can check it out at Rehearsal Studio™ https://therehearsalstudio.app/

I am Denise Griffitts and this is Your Partner In Success Radio.
What does it really mean to build a successful small business?
Is it simply about making more money? Growing bigger? Working harder?
Or is there another way to look at success?
Today we're talking about Profit, Impact, and Enjoyment, and how those three things can work together to create a business that actually works for the person who built it.
My guest today is Andy Clark, a business advisor, author, and the creator of The Whole PIE System™, a practical framework designed to help small business owners get out of the weeds and lead their businesses with greater clarity.
Andy has a background in business law and more than two decades of experience working with entrepreneurs across North America.
His new book is Getting the Whole PIE: A Step-by-Step Guide to More Profit, More Impact, and More Enjoyment in Your Small Business.
And I think this is going to be a particularly interesting conversation because Andy isn't talking about choosing between profit and purpose. He's looking at how they actually connect.
