Let’s Talk Funding & Alternative Capital with Oz Konar
Most small business owners wait until they are desperate before looking for funding — and when the bank says no, they think they're out of options. In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Business, Mitchell Wilson sits down with Oz Konar, founder of Business Lending Blueprint, to break down what really happens behind the scenes in alternative lending. Oz shares how he went from making 600 cold calls a day to building an Inc. 5000 education company that has trained over 7,000 business loan brokers. They dive deep into why 85% of small business loan applications get rejected by traditional banks, how to become "fundable" before you actually need money, and why financial literacy is the ultimate secret weapon for long-term growth. If you’ve ever felt confused by capital or want to make smarter financial moves, this conversation is pure gold.

Let’s Talk Security Without the Stick with Craig Taylor
For 25 years, the cybersecurity industry has relied on fear, shaming, and punitive "gotcha" tests to force employee compliance. The result? Frustration, resentment, and higher security risks. In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Business, host Mitchell Wilson sits down with Craig Taylor, founder of CyberHoo and a 30-year industry veteran. Craig reveals why punishing people for clicking bad links completely backfires—and how human-centered, positive reinforcement builds resilient security habits instead. From spotting the subtle red flags of AI-driven phishing emails and phone scams to implementing non-negotiable protections like multi-factor authentication, passkeys, and password managers, Craig breaks down digital safety into practical, stress-free steps for every small business owner.

Let’s Talk Leading Yourself First with Ian Hatton
Why do so many traditional leadership models leave us feeling drained, disconnected, and burnt out? In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Business, host Mitchell Wilson sits down with Ian Hatton—international keynote speaker, leadership mentor, and founder of Totally Morpheus. Ian gets real about his transition from corporate IT at Microsoft to becoming a global advocate for conscious leadership, sharing the pivotal moment his team’s trust score plunged by 50% when he tried to lead like someone else.
Together, Mitchell and Ian dissect the difference between management and strategic leadership, the vital role of emotional intelligence (EQ) over IQ, and how self-awareness transforms team dynamics. Plus, Ian breaks down his EG3 Leadership Assessment—categorizing leaders into Survivors, Strivers, and Thrivers—and reveals why making yourself your "#1 job every day" is the least selfish thing a business owner can do.
