About this listen

We talk about Surfing the Sigmoid Curve. Or in other words: how everything, and everyone will experience inception, growth, maturity, and finally decline. But how do businesses, products, or people continue to grow both personally and professionally? We interview founders, business owners, professionals, and growth-minded individuals who have found success. And they share how they made it happen. We have 1 rule. Don't. Be. Boring. Hosted by Chris Jones, CEO, and co-owner of the largest business brokerage firm in the US, and Matt Silasiri, VP of Business Development. https://www.tnma.comChris Jones and Matt Silasiri Economics Leadership Management & Leadership

  • Ep. 30 - How Prouty Project helps companies define their Clarity, Alignment, & Commitment - Sam Smith & Sam Harris
    Aug 28 2025

    Clarity. Alignment. Commitment. Every company needs these three pillars to be clear, defined, and understood. Without it, you won't be able to row in the same direction, and your success will be stunted.


    Sam Smith, and Samantha Harris from Prouty Project join us for Ep. 30. The truth is every company doesn't have it all figured out. Somewhere along the leadership, or structure, will be misaligned or confusing to employees and team members. What does that mean? Falling short of hitting goals and not breaking through ceilings.

  • Ep. 29 - Understanding the Importance of What It's all For - Nicole Middendorf
    Aug 21 2025

    This week's episode is heavy. We are joined by Nicole Middendorf - a successful business owner and wealth advisor who has survived domestic violence, and completely reinvented her life for a purpose.


    Nicole touches on the importance of understanding Why You Do What You Do. How you spend your time, how you build your business, who you do it with, where you do it, but most importantly Why You Do It. What's the reason why?


    We all have our own identity outside of the office, and are driven by certain life events and passions. But do we really operate every day for the right reason? Think about these topics and ask yourself these questions. It will move mountains for you going forward.

  • Ep. 28 - The Importance of Self Reflection and Realization with America's Storyteller - Jeff Gould
    Aug 15 2025

    Living a life of significance, or with purpose is often overlooked by people. We get caught up running too fast with raising a family, building a business, a career, and often don't sit back and really evaluate why we do what we do. But what happens on your death bed? Will you be happy? Sad? Full of regret?


    Jeff Gould, America's Storyteller, joins Chris for an honest conversation about living a joyful life, instead of running yourself into the ground and regretting everything you've devoted your life doing.


    Business owners, Sit back, pour your favorite drink, and listen to the mindset and emotional journey that we all need to realize we go through.
