Roland and Ryan discuss a significant slump in sales across all of their businesses this past week. A serious dip! So if you’ve noticed a halt in your sales, you’ll be sort of happy to hear that they did too. Ryan has a reassuring theory.
But you're also going to hear these seasoned Entrepreneurs discuss a slew of other subjects relevant to business leaders.

So, Did Your Sales Just Slump?
Here at the beginning of Summer in 2021, the world finds itself in a unique spot. Much of the west is ‘opening up again,’ and depending on what industry you’re in, you may be feeling the hit right now that others felt last year.
“We’ve got stuff, as you said, that’s been consistently performing the same for 12 plus months, and then it just stopped. That doesn’t mean that like, that headline stopped working, or that offered doesn’t work. I would caution people to be careful about throwing a bunch of babies out with the bathwater”. Ryan Deiss
Listen for what to do (and what not to do), where Roland and Ryan see opportunities this summer, the businesses they project will ‘feel the sting’ this summer, and quick pivots to make now.
And There’s More,
Listen to Roland and Ryan talk about Equity. Should You Share It With Your Employees? And if not, what can you offer High-Value Employees Instead?
Plus, Ryan shares the recent drama that unfolded for him on Twitter, and the two of them banter about whether he was right or wrong...
Don't Miss
Toward the end, you'll hear them talk about some of fine wines they've been enjoying (e.g. the 1994 Araujo Eisele and the 2003 Cheval Blanc). And more!
