  • Crafting Quality: A Specialty Bakery Founder’s Guide to Purpose and Growth - with Arthur Chavez
    Sep 30 2025
    Sean sits down with Arthur Chavez today, the founder of No Cow Bakery, a unique business dedicated to creating delicious, allergy-friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan treats. Arthur shares his inspiring journey from experimenting in his kitchen with friends to discovering the need for high-quality, healthy alternatives in the market. He recounts a transformative experience at a gluten fair that validated his mission and led to opportunities with major retailers. KEY TAKEAWAYS The journey of No Cow Bakery began from a desire to create delicious, allergy-friendly baked goods after witnessing the poor quality of existing options for those with dietary restrictions. This passion for solving a health problem drove the initial recipe development. The bakery not only serves customers with dietary restrictions but also creates a supportive community where individuals can share their stories and experiences. The emotional reactions from customers highlight the significant impact that quality food can have on people's lives. A commitment to high-quality ingredients is paramount. The bakery prioritises using fresh, speciality ingredients and avoids compromising on quality, even if it means facing challenges in sourcing and production. The business is poised for growth, with plans to expand distribution while maintaining product quality. The approach includes careful planning and a willingness to adapt to market demands, such as potentially opening a dedicated distribution centre if necessary. BEST MOMENTS "I knew our stuff was good, but for somebody to get that emotional over it... food is very emotional." "It's not that bad. If you're ever missing anything out there, just let us know, because we'd probably make it." "People don't talk anymore. They don't talk to their customers. We take time to talk to each person individually." "I just wanted the title of owner. I didn't want anything really to do with the business." "If you spread yourself too thin, you're not going to make it. So just one thing at a time."

  • Rethink Retirement: Become Your Own Nonprofit - with Eric Walker.
    Sep 23 2025
    On this episode, Sean interviews Eric Walker, a full-time servant adventurer and entrepreneur who has dedicated his life to living as a "one-man nonprofit". Instead of retiring, Eric chose to pursue a life of profound meaning and contribution, using his skills to help others around the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS A life focused on significance can be more fulfilling than one focused solely on success, especially in later years. You can create a nonprofit lifestyle without the administrative burden by partnering with an umbrella organization that handles the paperwork and finances. To find your passion, do a personal self-assessment and look at the needs of the world. You can start by getting additional training, such as an English teaching certification, which can open many doors. The digital age allows individuals to build a personal brand and connect directly with supporters, creating a more personal and authentic relationship than with large corporations. BEST MOMENTS "Half of all small businesses fail in their first five years, but you are not going to be one of them." "I for one, I want to live till I die." "Sometimes people can tend to live smaller lives than they are capable of." "I don't want to retreat in my later years, I want to advance." "I don't think there's that much to be afraid of. God's just as able to take care of me over there as he is over here." HOST BIO Meet Your Host: Sean O’Hara, MBA – Entrepreneur, Sales Strategist, and Relentless Business Optimist.

  • Create a Remote Team with a Strong Culture- with Zach Wright.
    Sep 16 2025
    Sean sits down with Zach Wright, founder and CEO of Grapevine Software. They look at the evolving dynamics of the workforce, particularly the tug-of-war between remote work, hybrid models, and the push for a return to the office. Zach shares insights from his expertise in business operations technology and remote work, discussing the challenges businesses face when building remote teams and how Grapevine addresses these issues. Entrepreneurs can apply for the Untangled Vines Community here: https://nm3ce.share.hsforms.com/2E2cJ6QqgQqaQKa91LkxZ1w KEY TAKEAWAYS The pandemic has led to a significant shift in workforce dynamics, with many employees preferring remote or hybrid work models. Companies are now navigating the balance between employee preferences and organisational demands, often leading to a hybrid approach being favoured. Entrepreneurs face challenges in building remote teams, including communication barriers, the need for centralised information, and maintaining employee engagement. Tools that streamline communication and provide a single source of truth are essential for overcoming these hurdles. A centralised platform can enhance company culture by fostering communication and collaboration among remote teams. This helps employees feel connected and engaged, which is crucial for retention and productivity. Utilising a comprehensive tool like Grapevine can significantly reduce time spent searching for information and duplicating work. By centralising resources and communication, companies can improve operational efficiency and reduce overhead costs. The future workforce may increasingly rely on technology that integrates augmented reality and AI, allowing for seamless communication and task management. This evolution aims to create a more flexible, inclusive, and fulfilling work environment. BEST MOMENTS "The big reason that this is such a debate is, in my opinion, is we see that return to office has been disguised as layoffs." "If I would have just went off of like stereotypes about Pakistan, then I would be like, 'Oh, maybe I shouldn't work with them.' But now that I've worked with the Pakistan team, they're literally like us." "One of the biggest issues in organisations today is the ability to search and find information that their company already has." "It sounds like based on what you're saying, the struggle is real, but it's going to land somewhere middle ground." "We want to be the element that is whenever you sign in and start your workday, it's in Grapevine."
