  • From Laid Off to $1 Million: The TV Appearance That Started It All

    From Laid Off to $1 Million: The TV Appearance That Started It All
    Jan 28 2026

    What happens when you get laid off with no backup plan—just a wild idea and a pun?


    For Colin McIntosh, it meant building Sheets & Giggles, a sustainable bedding company with humor and heart. Three weeks after losing his job, Colin founded a company that would disrupt a stagnant, plastic-filled industry—and eventually land him on Good Morning America.

    In this episode, Colin takes us behind the scenes of his journey from “just trying to pay rent” to leading a million-dollar month brand that’s become a cult favorite among eco-conscious sleepers.

    It’s a story about resilience, creativity, and standing out by staying true to yourself.

    🔍 KEY TOPICS COVERED

    • The real reason Colin chose bedding—and how he turned a fragmented, polyester-dominated market into an opportunity
    • What makes LyoCell (made from eucalyptus) a game-changer over cotton, bamboo, and polyester
    • Why polyester sheets might be harming your health—and what to use instead
    • The viral avocado face mask ad that broke Facebook (and made customers giggle)
    • The power of authenticity: using friends as models and real moments as ads
    • How a $40K donation during COVID turned into national press and GMA
    • Why Sheets & Giggles never irons their sheets—and how that became a brand ethos
    • Creating life-changing jobs for formerly incarcerated Coloradans
    • Building a business that’s plastic-free, inclusive, and truly fun
    • Colin’s hot takes on the job market, résumé trends, and what makes hiring work in 2026

  • Ask Better Questions, Sell More Using Assumptive Hero

    Ask Better Questions, Sell More Using Assumptive Hero
    Jan 22 2026
    Most salespeople pitch too hard or drop prices. This episode teaches how to sell confidently—by assuming the sale and asking the right questions. What if your next big sale didn't come from pitching harder… but from showing up like a hero?In this episode of East Trade Winds, we sit down with Paul Kirch, founder of Sellience and BOSS Academy, to explore "assumptive selling"—a mindset shift that puts service and strategy before sales tactics.Paul believes selling is emotional. When you truly understand what your buyer is going through, you become more than a vendor—you become a trusted guide.🎤 What You’ll Hear:Paul shares how he developed the Askology Method, a proven question-based system that unlocks buyer motivation, builds rapport, and reveals deep-seated needs. You’ll also learn how assumptive selling creates momentum by assuming the role of a helpful partner—not a pushy seller. 🔍 Key Topics Covered:✅ Why Assumptive Selling Works:Confident sellers who assume they're there to help don’t come off as aggressive—they feel like partners. It’s not about arrogance—it’s about service-driven certainty.✅ The Askology Method – Four Types of Questions:Guiding Questions: You know the answer, but use them to gain permissionInvestigative Questions: Help you discover unknowns and guide the pathEmpathy Questions: Connect on emotional and human levelsInstigating Questions: Challenge the status quo gently to inspire change✅ Order Takers vs. Order Makers:A barista that just fills your order is replaceable. One that recommends a better drink you’ll love? Memorable. Paul explains how proactive engagement creates value.✅ The Dessert Experience:Don’t just offer value—show it. Create irresistible, sensory-rich experiences that spark emotional desire, loyalty, and upsells. Think dessert tray vs. "want dessert?".✅ Confidence Without Pressure:True confidence in sales comes from preparation and purpose. Paul shares a story where one powerful question turned a no into one of his largest clients. 📘 Free Resource:Download Paul’s free Askology eBook:👉 Askology Method – Free eBook 🙋‍♂️ About the Guest:Paul Kirch🎯 Sales Consultant, Trainer, Speaker🌐 PaulKirch.com🔗 Connect with Paul on LinkedInFounder of Sellience and BOSS Academy, Paul empowers businesses to use smart questions and confident assumptions to boost revenue, deepen relationships, and increase close rates. 🤝 With Thanks To:📣 This episode is proudly supported by Canada Growth Network — helping Canadian entrepreneurs connect, grow, and thrive. https://canadagrowthnetwork.com/ 👥 Want to engage with more thought leaders like Paul?Join our next East Trade Winds Tuesday event from 8–9 AM EST. 📅 Register here 📩 Let’s TalkGot a question, idea, or guest suggestion?Reach out to us at info@kreativinsight.com Call to Action▶️ Watch the full YouTube replay now:Ask Better Questions, Sell More Using Assumptive Hero💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments.

In this eye-opening episode, Karena Bell, founder of ProfitLinz, shares a powerful message: profit isn’t missing—it’s just hidden.Drawing from her experience as a forensic profit strategist, Karena shows how businesses can unlock money already inside their operations—without cutting revenue, slashing staff, or waiting for growth.Instead of guessing where the money leaks are, Karena uses data-backed tools to help businesses recover what they’ve already earned.

    Jan 15 2026
    Traditional podcasts are time-consuming and slow to show results. Megan Dougherty shares how micro-pods flip that script by offering a faster, smarter path to podcast success. In this value-packed episode of East Trade Winds Tuesday, we welcomed the ever-insightful Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative and author of Podcasting for Business.

    Nov 14 2025
    The problem solved: Many professionals use LinkedIn, but very few make it work for them.In this episode of the Knack 4 Business podcast (also appearing on the East Trade Winds series), hosts Bernie Franzgrote and Wayne Pratt sit down with LinkedIn expert Tony K Silver (from tonyksilver.com and thesilvervoice.co.uk) to hear the story of how one simple but often‑ignored change helped Tony turn his LinkedIn presence into an engine for visibility, credibility and connection.Tony shares how he started using LinkedIn seriously back in 2008 after a career shift, and how he now teaches others to use the platform strategically so that they stand out — not just add connection after connection. The Silver Voice+2LinkedIn+2What we cover in this storytelling conversation:The origin story: Tony’s journey into LinkedIn mastery — why he got serious about it and what he discovered.The turning‑point moment: How Tony realised most profiles are invisible, and the simple changes that made his visible.Deep dive into the top card and profile setup: What belongs there, and what doesn’t — the first “headline” people see when they land on your page.Understanding LinkedIn’s algorithm and notification system: What it rewards, what it ignores — and how to play by the rules rather than fight them. Dripify+1Networking versus broadcasting: Why content alone isn’t enough — how relationships made Tony’s profile work for business.LinkedIn activity that generates results: From comments to posts, messages to shares — what Tony sees as the “traffic lights” for real engagement.Real‑world examples and action steps: Tony walks us through what he’d fix if he stepped into your profile today.For B2B businesses and service professionals (just like many of you in our community), how to use LinkedIn as a business tool — not just a digital résumé.Guest links & resources:Connect with Tony on LinkedIn: Tony K SilverVisit Tony’s websites: tonyksilver.com, thesilvervoice.co.ukWatch the full YouTube presentation: “LinkedIn Engagement Hacks to Make Your Profile STAND OUT!” → https://youtu.be/6GZ3uLe9h2EContact & next steps:Want to go deeper?
