In this episode:

From her start at a Waffle House in Maryland to managing high-end casinos and advising corporate leaders, Carly Kass has seen every side of customer service. Today, she’s reshaping how companies think about hospitality—beyond the restaurant or hotel space—and applying it to law firms, financial planners, and modern business teams.

You’ll discover:

• 💡 Why “The Customer Is Always Right” might be the most damaging phrase in business.

• 🧠 How to use empathy as a leadership tool that transforms customer and team relationships.

• 🎯 The difference between hospitality (what you do for someone) and service (what you do to someone).

• 🧩 Simple mindset shifts that help your team manage difficult clients without losing energy or authenticity.

• 💬 Why small, thoughtful gestures—like using someone’s name or offering a genuine smile—matter more than any marketing campaign.

• ⚙️ How proactive service builds trust and eliminates frustration before it ever happens.

Key Quote from Carly:

Whether you lead a small team or a multi-location business, this episode will help you elevate the customer experience, strengthen your reputation, and grow your impact faster than ever.

“You can’t mail too much—if people want to hear from you.”

That one quote sums up Ben Settle’s entire email philosophy—and in this episode, he brings the receipts.

This isn’t your typical marketing interview.

It’s a no-BS deep dive into why repelling the wrong people is more profitable than attracting everyone… and how negative striplining, daily emails, and zero-refund policies lead to a business that actually feels good to run.

Steve and Ben cover:

• 🧲 The surprising power of repulsion marketing—and how it filters out bad buyers before they ever hit “purchase”

• 🛑 Why unsubscribes are a good thing (and what they really tell you about your list)

• 💣 How to use “negative striplining” to build trust, boost conversions, and eliminate refund drama

• 📬 What most entrepreneurs get wrong about daily emails—and how Ben built a cult following by doing the opposite of everyone else

• 🧠 The psychology behind consumption-based marketing (and why giving refunds is the wrong move for premium offers)

• ✍️ How Ben learned to write bullets that convert like crazy—and why honest copy sells better than clever hype

Whether you write emails, run events, or sell high-ticket offers, this episode will challenge the way you think about marketing—and give you a smarter, saner way to sell.

Imagine a world where empathy isn't just a buzzword but a pivotal strategy for growth. In this episode, Jamye Chapman explores this intriguing concept, challenging the traditional metrics of success. What if the key to thriving wasn't about having more but about connecting more deeply with others?

Jamye introduces the concept of the empathy gap, highlighting how small differences are often magnified into significant divides. By focusing on agreements and shared values, businesses can foster environments where empathy bridges these gaps, leading to more cohesive and productive communities.

Research reveals a surprising trend: higher suicide rates among privileged groups, suggesting that material wealth doesn't equate to fulfillment. Jamye emphasizes that true self-actualization arises from authentic relationships and community engagement, not from accumulating wealth.

Incorporating empathy into leadership means valuing and involving communities in decision-making processes. This approach not only strengthens relationships but also enhances organizational effectiveness. By recognizing the inherent value in others, leaders can transform their organizations into more inclusive and dynamic entities.

Dive into this episode to discover how empathy can redefine success and drive meaningful growth in both personal and professional realms.

Ever wondered why some leaders thrive while others burn out? Christian ‘Boo’ Boucousis, a former fighter pilot, reveals the unique mindset that sets elite pilots apart and how it can transform leadership. This episode dives into the intentional growth environment of a fighter pilot, where only one out of 15,000 applicants earns their wings, underscoring the importance of learning fast and thinking ahead.

At the core of a fighter pilot's success is a growth mindset, a concept popularized by Carol Dweck. Boucousis explains how curiosity and intention drive pilots to excel, always planning two seconds ahead of the aircraft. This proactive mindset is crucial for leaders aiming to navigate complex environments without succumbing to stress.

The ORCA framework—Objective, Reality, Clarity, and Action—is a game-changer for leaders. By setting clear, measurable destinations rather than vague goals, leaders can achieve a 99% success rate, much like fighter pilots. This structured approach helps bridge the gap between intention and execution, ensuring every action is purposeful.

Boucousis emphasizes that flawless leadership is about transforming intention into tangible outcomes. By treating every challenge as a destination, leaders can foster a high-performance culture. This mindset not only prevents burnout but also enhances personal and organizational success.

My daughter once asked me, "Dad, what do you think you're really good at?". I pondered her question for a several minutes and replied, "Being a Dad".  I did not say that just because she was my daughter, or because being a father has truly been the greatest blessing and gift of this life, I said that because there when I think about my life, and my achievements... it's truly is what I think I've done a good at. I also believe I'm pretty good at helping entrepreneurs and business owners become way more EPIC!

After feeling trapped in my own corporate job 6 years ago, I decided that I had enough of building other people's dreams....my husband and I left our jobs and moved our life to the Caribbean where we started our entrepreneurial journey....we definitely failed at first but 5 years later, we have started 4 successful businesses and we are 100% location independent. I have made it my mission to help others achieve their own dreams and to do so without stress, without overwhelm and in a way that is authentic to them.
