   How to Get Employees to Listen (Without Repeating Yourself 10 Times)

   Your team is not ignoring you - your training is probably broken. If people keep "not listening," this episode shows you how to stop repeating yourself and start building understanding that actually sticks. Kimberly breaks down the leadership mistake that keeps bosses frustrated, exhausted, and stuck doing everything themselves. Drawing from her restaurants and fast-moving fair booth staffing, she shares the exact system she uses to train people quickly, reduce confusion, and create ownership without hovering. You'll discover: Why repeating instructions usually fails and what leaders should do instead The difference between telling, teaching, and creating real understanding Kimberly's five-step framework: do, see, hear, teach, and check How one tiny missing detail turned into 300 tiny garlic knots Why "check back within five minutes" can save hours of rework How to tell the difference between misunderstanding, absent-mindedness, and real resistance Kimberly also gets honest about the harder side of leadership: sometimes the issue is not clarity but refusal. She explains how to handle grace, accountability, checklists, and consequences without losing sight of the bigger goal - building a team that can function without constant supervision. If you're leading people, training staff, managing a team, or just tired of saying the same thing ten times, this is a practical reset for how to communicate, scale, and lead with less stress. Essential listening for owners and managers who want better results without burnout.

   The Grief Lesson That Changed How I Show Up for People

   Two devastating losses, one powerful lesson: when someone is grieving, presence matters more than perfect words. Kimberly Fischer shares the raw, unfiltered story of losing both parents within a single summer, and the surprisingly practical ways people can show up without making grief harder.After her mother dies suddenly, Kimberly is forced to navigate shock, emotional whiplash, and the ache of all the conversations that will never happen. Then, just 30 days after a liver tumor diagnosis, her father is gone too, but this time she has the chance to say goodbye. The contrast between those two losses reveals something profound about how grief actually lands in the body, and what it really needs from the people around it.You'll hear Kimberly break down: Why grief can trigger physical reactions like hives, exhaustion, and numbness The difference between a sudden loss and a slower goodbye Why "let me know if you need anything" often adds pressure instead of comfort What her daughter, husband, dad, and friends did that actually helped The simple language that feels most healing when someone dies Kimberly also shares the hardest part of all - the finality. No more calls, no more texts, no more hugs. And yet, even in that pain, she offers a clear, compassionate roadmap for anyone who wants to support a grieving person without fumbling through cliches or forcing them to make decisions they cannot handle. If you are grieving, know someone who is, or want to learn how to show up with real care when life falls apart, this episode is essential listening. Honest, tender, and deeply practical, it will change the way you think about supporting people through loss.

   Exclusive Interview with Mike Dejong

   Most business owners start a business to create freedom. Then somewhere along the way, the business starts owning them. Every decision needs their approval. Every problem lands on their desk. Their team depends on them. Vacations aren’t really vacations. And stepping away feels almost impossible. Mike DeJong knows that trap because he built it himself. After building four ground-up seven-figure businesses, Mike learned that being essential to your business isn’t a sign of success—it can be the very thing keeping the business from growing. In this episode of the Motipulation Podcast, Mike breaks down how to escape the operator trap, build leaders instead of followers, and create a business that can grow without everything running through you. Mike shares the vacation disaster that exposed just how dependent his business had become on him—and the wake-up call that forced him to completely rethink the way he led. In this conversation, you’ll learn: Why delegating and disappearing doesn’t work How to build simple SOPs quickly using recording tools and AI Why customer complaints can become some of your best growth opportunities The difference between hiring people who can do the job and developing people who can lead How to stop being the bottleneck in your own company Why trying to do everything yourself costs far more than you think How Mike’s 100-0 philosophy changes accountability and leadership Why chasing perfection can actually prevent growth How to build a company that gives you freedom instead of becoming your prison Mike also shares the remarkable turnaround of a struggling franchise he helped take from negative 12% year-over-year to positive 23% in just seven months. His experience includes opening the first Nothing Bundt Cakes location in Wisconsin, building multiple seven-figure businesses, turning around struggling operations, and helping entrepreneurs create companies that can operate without the owner being involved in every decision. Mike is an entrepreneur, turnaround expert, keynote speaker, author of Grow Smart: Your Path to Freedom, and a Tony Robbins Platinum Partner. He’s also spent nearly four decades as a pilot—an experience that shaped one of the most powerful ideas in this conversation: At some point, you have to stop flying the plane long enough to run the airline. If you’re buried in day-to-day operations, afraid of what will happen when you step away, or tired of being the person everyone depends on, this episode is for you. You didn't build a business to create another job for yourself. You built it to create freedom. Build freedom. Not a prison.
