Two Shows. One Table. No Scripts.
<p>Two shows. One table. No scripts. This is the podcast swap: Bonnie Schutz — CEO of Tandem Resource Solutions and host of Delegate 2 Elevate Get Sh!t Done — and Chris Flowers interview each other in one unscripted conversation airing on both feeds.</p><p><br></p><p>Two Gen X founders with 57 combined years inside corporate America and commercial banking break down: why "going Cortez" (quit, burn the ships, cash the 401(k)) is the most expensive way to start a business; the three rules before launching a podcast; why owners really refuse to delegate (trust, ego, AND control); the HR complaint that ended Bonnie's 27-year corporate run and launched her company; and why "I'm not gonna buy your job — I wanna buy a business" should shape every decision from day one. Plus: how Tandem stacks its team with military spouses, single moms, and second-act women through the MSEP program.</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Bonnie: tandemresourcesolutions.com | delegate2elevatepodcast.com | preferredservicepros.com</p><p><br></p><p>Watch the full video episode on YouTube — Here's The Deal (@heresthedeal827).</p><p><br></p><p>Get Seen, Heard and Remembered → info@heresthedeal.biz | heresthedeal.biz/marketing</p><p><br></p><p>#heresthedealbiz #mybizcoaches #videomarketing #easycomfortableconnected</p>

Is your job really safe? The honest answer.
<p>Is your job really safe? In Episode 15 of Here's The Deal, Chris Flowers answers it straight: a steady paycheck isn't security — security is having options. </p><p>He uses three friends who were loyal, topped their field, and were still walked out in fifteen minutes to expose the myth of the "cushy 9-to-5,". </p><p>Then he lays out the Owned vs. Rented income framework from 30 years around money: when you work for them, you rent your income, your title, your schedule and your future from a landlord who can evict you any day. </p><p>The only asset you'll ever fully own is the one you built — your name, your story, your skills, your audience.</p><p>This one's part wake-up call, part battle cry, with faith and grit underneath it. You don't have to build it alone.</p><p> If you want to talk about owning your time, let's talk. <a href="mailto:info@heresthedeal.biz">info@heresthedeal.biz</a> · heresthedeal.biz/marketing</p>
