Tinkering with your business because you’re “just making it better”? Be careful! You might be unintentionally setting fire to something that wasn’t broken to begin with. In this episode of The Business Fix, Josh Troche and Chrissy Myers explore the surprisingly common problem of business owners who shake things up out of boredom: leading to mission drift, marketing misfires, and flatlined sales.

If you're a small business owner, marketing manager, or CEO trying to build authority with podcasting, grow your brand, or improve your content strategy without blowing up what’s already working, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn how to recognize whether your business is truly broken or if you’re just bored and craving a dopamine hit. We’ll show you how smart delegation and a clear mission can keep you from making unnecessary changes, what marketing metrics (like customer acquisition cost and lead pipeline) you should monitor before declaring your funnel broken, how to avoid “pod drift” when using podcasting for marketing, and when it’s time to realign with your vision versus when you just need a networking event, a nap, or a boredom buster experiment.

This episode offers real-world advice for staying engaged in your business without breaking what’s working. If you’re a small business owner, marketing manager, CEO, or team leader trying to level up without spiraling out, this one’s for you.

And remember: any machine can be a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

In this episode of The Business Fix, Chrissy and Josh dive headfirst into a crucial topic for every small business owner and manager: resiliency. Following last week's breakdown on burnout, this conversation flips the script and focuses on building the kind of resilience that doesn't just help you bounce back but helps you bounce forward.

Chrissy shares personal insights from her book Reluctantly Resilient and breaks down what she calls the Resilient Operating System, a practical toolbox of habits, mindsets, and systems to help leaders lead through pressure and change. Josh adds his operational and marketing perspective, revealing how a business can be structured for resilience even when the leader steps away.

You’ll discover why resilience is a learnable skill (not a fixed trait) and how it shows up differently in your personal life versus your business. Chrissy and Josh explore how to lead without burning out by embracing rest as a leadership tool, why grit without grounding leads to burnout, and how to future-proof your business with documented processes, cross-training, and diversified marketing and revenue streams. They also dive into how to navigate tough conversations with calm clarity and build the financial and operational buffers every business needs to stay strong in uncertain times.

Whether you're in crisis mode or just preparing for the next big challenge, this episode gives you the mindset and the toolkit to lead more effectively and sustainably. It’s real talk with practical takeaways and a few laughs along the way.

You’re hitting your goals. Business is growing. But you’re running on fumes—and no one’s asking if you’re okay.
If that feels familiar, this episode is for you.

In this honest and relatable conversation, Chrissy and Josh break down what burnout really looks like for business owners and managers. Josh shares how ignoring the signs landed him in the hospital. Chrissy explains why “rest is a leadership skill” and how she learned (the hard way) to protect her energy and her team.

Chrissy and Josh unpack the subtle burnout symptoms high achievers tend to ignore like emotional numbness, over-scheduling, and detachment from wins. They reveal how even your best employees may be silently burning out, why hustle culture kills productivity, and how to spot the early warning signs in both yourself and your team. You’ll also learn the difference between supporting your team and enabling poor performance, plus the exact systems Chrissy uses to model sustainable, resilient leadership.

Whether you’re a business owner, team leader, or burned-out manager trying to keep it together, this episode gives you the tools to create a healthier business without losing your mind (or your best people).

💡 Rest isn’t weakness, it’s your competitive edge.

leadership actually looks like in today’s workplace. Whether you're a small business owner, mid-level manager, or a leader-in-training, this conversation is packed with practical insights, relatable stories, and a few laughs (and one or two references to crappy wall art).

Discover why clarity in leadership builds trust and cuts through confusion, and how the 3 C’s: Clarity, Consistency, and Care shape strong team culture. Chrissy and Josh explore how servant leadership fosters accountability without falling into micromanagement, and share actionable tips on delegation, emotional intelligence, and follow-through. You'll also learn the key difference between management and leadership because one runs the day-to-day, and the other defines where you're headed.

Think owning a business means total freedom and unlimited time off? Yeah… about that.

In this episode of The Business Fix, Chrissy Myers and Josh Troche challenge the outdated hustle mindset and break down why work-life balance is a myth and how work-life harmony is a more sustainable goal for business owners and leaders.

Through stories, stats, and a little sarcasm, they share how intentional leadership, smart time management, and better business systems can help you scale without sacrificing your sanity.

You’ll learn how to perform a simple time audit to see where your hours really go, build standard operating procedures that strengthen your team and free you up to lead, improve company culture through clearer team communication, delegate with confidence instead of defaulting to micromanagement, and set boundaries that protect both your business goals and your personal life.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone in business ownership, small business operations, or leadership roles who’s tired of burning the candle at both ends and is ready to take back control.
