In this episode of MemberFix Radio, host Vic Dorfman interviews Dr. Peter Flores III, founder of Praxis Lead Equity, about building inclusive organizational cultures that drive business results.

Dr. Flores brings a unique perspective from 25 years in the U.S. Navy, where he rose to leadership positions during Operation Iraqi Freedom, followed by a successful career as a K-12 educator and district-level administrator. Now he helps educational institutions, government agencies, and businesses eliminate cultural blind spots that hinder success.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

• The difference between equality and equity—and why it matters for your business
• The 4-fold "praxis" framework: critical consciousness, reflection, analysis, and action
• Why diversity is a strategic advantage, not just a buzzword
• How to make people curious instead of trying to change their minds
• The importance of words and clear communication in leadership
• Technology challenges in running an online business (including WordPress and LearnDash)
• Why equity requires action, not just conversation

Key Quote: "My job is not to change your mind. My job is to make you curious about why you think the way you do and have you do your own inside-out work."

About the Guest: Dr. Peter Flores III is a retired U.S. Navy veteran, former K-12 educator and administrator, and founder of Praxis Lead Equity. He works with K-12 schools, universities, and federal government agencies including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to implement inclusive organizational cultures.

Debbie Caudle did something most therapists would consider insane: she walked away from insurance and Medicaid clients to build a cash-based practice. In this episode, she shares the full story of her transformation from burnt-out generalist to thriving virtual marriage coach.

You'll learn why dropping "guaranteed" income was the best decision she ever made, how productizing therapy created leverage, and the mindset shifts that turned fear-based money decisions into strategic growth moves.

Debbie also gets real about delegation, the role of AI in relationship-based businesses, and why "massive imperfect action" beats waiting for everything to be perfect.

Whether you're a service provider, coach, consultant, or membership site owner, this conversation offers practical wisdom on building a business that actually supports the life you want to live.

Most clients sabotage their own Upwork projects before they even start — by writing job posts that instantly turn off the best freelancers and agencies. In this episode, Vic Dorfman (founder of MemberFix) breaks down why “fixed price” postings, vague requirements, and phrases like “should be an easy job” send red flags to serious professionals. Learn how to structure your job posts and project discussions to attract top-tier experts, avoid hostage projects, and build honest, productive partnerships — the same approach Vic uses after spending hundreds of thousands hiring on Upwork himself.
