Doug interviews Tyler Dunagin, an entrepreneur and CEO and founder of Turnserv LLC. Tyler shares how he founded one of America's fastest growing companies and talks about his goal setting framework, business psychology and personal growth. Tyler also reveals how he maintains laser focus through daily journaling, whiteboard visualisation and how this helps him achieve success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Tyler believes in deeply understanding your "why", when you know what truly motivates you beyond surface level, you'll have extra fuel to pursue your goals with determination.
• Visualisation drives Tyler's success, he keeps three horizons of goals visible on whiteboards everywhere: weekly goals, yearly goals, and 'delusional' long-term visions.
• Daily journaling transformed Tyler's accountability, he writes at least one bullet point every day about goal progress, framing entries as if leaving a legacy of lessons for his three sons.
• Tyler strategically chose property for his business, targeting a market with predictability (50% of renters move yearly), growth potential (housing shortage) and opportunities for innovation.
• Building company culture is about psychology, not spreadsheets. Tyler focuses on making systems simple for his team, connecting them to purpose and creating transparent processes.
• Tyler gives managers equity in his companies, ensuring team members' interests align with company goals, so when he discusses selling the company, they are invested.
• Tyler credits vulnerability for his growth, he intentionally put himself in rooms where he felt inadequate and embraced being 'the dumbest person there' to accelerate learning rather than trying to appear clever.

BEST MOMENTS

"If I don't write it down, if I don't have a deadline, if I don't have some sort of tractional plan, it just doesn't happen. And I've learned that about myself so literally every single capacity that I do in my life is goal oriented."

"Every single day I need to be able to see the goals I have. So, at my office, at my home where I'm at now, I have a simple whiteboard and in as little space as possible, I keep those things. Here's my goals for this week, here's my goals for this year, and here's my crazy, if I showed anybody this, they would think I'm delusional."

"When you understand why you do things first, you gotta preface that when you understand what you're motivated about and why the, you're gonna, you're gonna have some extra fuel."

"Growing a big business, you need to first look at the market that you're getting into 'cause it matters. You don't want to be getting into a profession that's so dependent on one person and it's a dying industry."

"I look at the companies I have today and how quickly they have grown and all the accolades and whatnot. All of those things started in my head way before they actually came tangible and anybody can do these kind of things."

Doug Bennett interviews Rohit Maini, an award-winning business leader and fellow podcast host. Rohit shares his approach to business, combining compliance work with consultancy that truly helps clients grow. He talks about how he creates a trust based environment for his clients, why holistic goal setting is important and why self-care is a necessity for entrepreneurs and business leaders.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rohit focuses on being a business growth partner rather than just handling compliance, actively helping clients with business strategy, acquisitions, and fundraising.
• Creating a relaxed, trust-based environment is central to effective client relationships; Rohit designs his office for comfort and conversation rather than formal meetings, allowing clients to openly share concerns and ambitions.
• Rohit's big hairy audacious goal is to make every SME in the world 1% better, recognising that the 5.5 million SMEs in the UK (99.8% of all companies) need greater support and representation on the global business stage.
• Effective goal setting must be holistic, connecting business targets to personal purpose; entrepreneurs should question the why behind numerical targets to ensure sustainable growth aligned with their true motivations.
• Small habit changes can trigger major lifestyle improvements, as Rohit discovered when a simple 30-minute morning walk created a cascade effect improving his mental clarity, work efficiency, eating habits, and overall motivation.
• Taking time for self-care isn't selfish but necessary. You can't give from an empty cup, and personal health enables better service to clients and family.
• Delegation is a critical skill for business growth, many entrepreneurs struggle with relinquishing control, but without delegating, they can't scale their business.
• Sharing both successes and challenges creates authentic connections, entrepreneurs should talk about their struggles alongside their highlight reels.

BEST MOMENTS

"We're certainly not stuffy accountants... We actually enjoy what we do, and we don't just file forms."

"I see myself as someone who's trying to help the business grow into the next level, not just sort of file and be the tax guy."

"For me it was that walk at 6 AM in the morning. It sounds a bit scary getting up that early, but to be honest with you, once you're out of your bed and you kind of walk, you kind of sleepwalk anyway."

"None of us are that important. To be fair, there's only a few really important people out there in the world. They tend to be brain surgeons, I would imagine, right?"
