Why start from scratch when you can buy something that already works? Jared sits down with Corey Parchman, author of Already Built, to talk about acquiring an existing, proven business instead of launching a startup.

Corey explains how SBA-backed funding acts as a "stamp" on a proven concept, walks through the due diligence he helps clients with, and busts the myth that an $800K business requires $800K in cash — in reality it's about 10% down with roughly 90% financed. He also shares why AI is a great jumping-off point but not the final answer, and how he works with Black entrepreneurs and former athletes to step into ownership.

Jared sits down with Renee Hastings, founder and CEO of Executive Help Now, a fractional executive-assistant and back-office support firm. After years supporting Fortune 100 and 500 executives, Renee started her own business in 2014. Then growth started to wear down her health, and that only changed when she brought on help and found "a duplicate of me. "Renee explains why getting an assistant is a form of self-care and how trust gets built through small tasks. She lays out how to delegate: start small, define the outcome, set parameters and check in at milestones. Her rule is to trust but verify. She also shares the story of her client Katie, who now runs payroll "with the push of one button." They finish on a big idea: what it would take to go on a two-week sabbatical while a team runs your operations.

What if making mistakes isn't what destroys your credibility—but how you react to them?

In this episode of The Everyday Guru Podcast, Jared Tarbox sits down with Silvia Rizzo, an Italian equestrian and life coach whose experience in high-pressure sports has taught her some powerful lessons about leadership, discipline, accountability, and staying calm when everything around you feels out of control.

When you're working with a 700-kilogram horse, there's no room for pretending you have everything figured out. Trust, clear communication, and split-second decisions matter. And as Silvia explains, those same principles apply to business, leadership, and everyday life.

🎙️ WHAT WE EXPLORE:

• Why making mistakes doesn't destroy your credibility—but making excuses can.

• How to stay calm and make better decisions under pressure.

• The surprising similarities between elite sports and business leadership.

• Why accountability is a strength, not a weakness.

• How emotions can cloud judgment and lead to poor decisions.

• Why waiting for the perfect moment can hold you back.

• What horses, motorcycles, and high-pressure situations can teach us about trust, focus, and personal growth.

Silvia also challenges the idea that high performers never experience fear or uncertainty. The real difference isn't eliminating those feelings. It's learning how to respond without allowing them to control your decisions.

The takeaway? You can't control everything that happens around you, but you can control how you respond.

Whether you're running a business, leading a team, or simply trying to handle life's curveballs a little better, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what real strength and leadership look like.

• 💡 How to find inspiration, make smarter decisions, and create a business that supports your life instead of consuming it.

Open Skies: My Life as Afghanistan's First Female Pilot by Niloofar Rahmani and Adam Sikes Publisher: Chicago Review Press (July 6, 2021) The true story of Niloofar Rahmani and her determination to become Afghanistan's first female air force pilot In 2010, for the first time since the Soviets, Afghanistan allowed women to join the armed forces, and Niloofar entered Afghanistan's military academy.

Niloofar had to break through social barriers to demonstrate confidence, leadership, and decisiveness—essential qualities for a combat pilot. Niloofar performed the first solo flight of her class—ahead of all her male classmates—and in 2013 became Afghanistan's first female fixed-wing air force pilot. The US State Department honored Niloofar with the International Women of Courage Award and brought her to the United States to meet Michelle Obama and fly with the US Navy's Blue Angels. But when she returned to Kabul, the danger to her and her family had increased significantly. Rahmani and her family are portraits of the resiliency of refugees and the accomplishments they can reach when afforded opportunities.
