Jay Silva and Wesley Rosenberg, the hosts of CEO’s Grind, continue to weave their authentic charm and practical wisdom into this week’s episode. Starting with a candid update on their ambitious “Standing Up a Podcast Business in 90 Days” project, Jay and Wes reveal the nuts and bolts of launching a media brand from scratch. From tackling editing challenges with AI tools to perfecting their YouTube branding, the two demonstrate the grit, adaptability, and occasional chaos that define entrepreneurial success.
Jay reflects on breaking mental barriers by mastering tech tools on the fly, showing that progress often stems from small victories. Meanwhile, Wesley grounds the discussion with his characteristic pragmatism, reminding listeners of the importance of starting simple and scaling with intention. Their chemistry shines through as they riff off each other, proving that business is not just about strategy but also about having fun along the way.
In the second segment, “I Have Something to Say,” the conversation takes a reflective turn. Wesley passionately speaks to the renewed optimism he senses among small business owners amidst political change, crediting their renewed motivation to a promising economic outlook. Jay offers a counterpoint, painting a broader picture of the ripple effects of policy changes, including shifts in real estate markets and workforce dynamics. Together, they emphasize that successful CEOs must embrace both optimism and realism, always staying one step ahead of the curve.
The highlight of the episode comes with their analysis of a Behavioral Arts video on body language. As they dissect non-verbal cues from political leaders, the conversation transforms into a masterclass on understanding power dynamics. “It’s not just what’s said, but how it’s shown,” Jay remarks, capturing the essence of the discussion. Wesley adds a practical twist, explaining how he applies these insights in sales, negotiations, and even daily interactions.
The episode closes on a relatable note as Wesley juggles podcasting with the antics of his playful puppy. The humor and honesty of this moment underscore what makes CEO’s Grind special: it’s a podcast by real people for real people, blending professional insights with life’s unpredictable charm.
