Chantel and Ryan Finch interviewed Brent Garrett, author of "30 Days to a Better Business," about scaling businesses and AI implementation.

Brent shared his background in plumbing and air conditioning, growing his business to 15 employees before selling it to ServiceMaster, and currently running a coaching business for small business owners. The discussion focused on Brent's approach to AI implementation in his plumbing company, including using tools like Gemini and Claude to streamline operations, automate processes, and create proprietary apps for gross margin control.

Brent emphasized the importance of thinking about AI as a tool to rebuild businesses from scratch rather than simply adding it to existing operations, and highlighted that successful scaling requires strong leadership, proper pricing, and effective recruiting. The conversation also covered Brent's five key strategies for moving from the 80% of contractors doing less than $1.5M annually to the 15-20% controlling 60% of the $125 billion industry revenue.

Chantel interviewed Michelle about her healthy eating habits and weight management approach.

Michelle shared that she doesn't count calories and listens to her body's hunger cues, typically eating protein-rich foods like eggs and Core Power protein shakes to meet her 60-gram daily protein goal. She practices mindful eating by chewing food 20-30 times and taking 30-minute meals, often distracted by reading or watching TV.

Michelle avoids emotional eating and snacks only occasionally with combinations like apple, peanut butter, and honey. She stays active with daily walks and home workouts, including using a treadmill at her desk during work hours. Michelle emphasized the importance of hormone balance and not depriving herself, while maintaining a mindful approach to portion control by eating only half of what's served.

Most people believe that in order to be healthy, they have to control everything… count every calorie, restrict certain foods, and constantly feel like they’re on a diet.

But what if real health looks completely different?

In this episode, I sit down with Michelle—someone who is naturally lean, full of energy, and has a healthy relationship with food… and she doesn’t count calories at all.

Instead, she’s learned how to listen to her body, honor her hunger, and make choices that bring balance instead of restriction.

After interviewing over 1,000 women, I started to notice a pattern: The women who experience the most freedom with food aren’t the ones trying the hardest… they’re the ones who have learned to trust how their body was designed.

We talk about:

Why restriction often leads to bingeing How slowing down your eating changes everything The difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger Simple habits that create natural balance Why listening to your body leads to more consistency than any diet ever could

This conversation isn’t about perfection. It’s about finding peace, balance, and a way of living that actually lasts.

Because real health isn’t just about what you eat… It’s about how you think, how you feel, and how you live.
