When it comes to talented business people, there is a hierarchy of ability: skilled, expert, masterful, and brilliant.

Brilliant is the realm where Simon T. Bailey operates and teaches others how to elevate their performance from proficient to awesome.

A former Disney sales executive, Simon has written multiple books on the topic and has been invited to be a keynote speaker at more than 2,400 events over the past two decades. He has been recognized among Success magazine’s Top 25 alongside Brené Brown, Tony Robbins, Tom Brady, and Oprah Winfrey.

Simon’s latest book is Resilience@Work: How to Coach Yourself Into a Thriving Future,  a business parable that illuminates how anyone can become not just resilient, but brilliantly resilient.

“Resilience is a superpower that reduces stress, boosts psychological capital, and paves the way for greater productivity,” Simon writes.

Listen and Profit™ now as Simon discusses the importance of resilience, patience, proper mentorship, and even the role of theology in business success.

Bryan Clayton, CEO and co-founder of Your Green Pal, uses a proprietary app to match homeowners who need lawn care with small businesses - many of them solo operators - that provide those services.

His numbers are impressive: more than 55,000 entrepreneurs serving over half a million customers.

Bryan began mowing lawns in high school and essentially never quit. Today, he runs a $30 million company that stands out in the so-called “two-sided marketplace,” which brings buyers and sellers together.

Bryan says there are opportunities aplenty for other entrepreneurs like him — in service-sector companies — to leverage technology to create a beautifully manicured business empire.
