Empowering Leaders Through Change: Accountability & Modeling Behavior | Monique Levy

On this Mamish Maverick segment, Maynard Breslow and Monique Levy (Levy Consulting) discuss the critical process of empowering leaders during times of change and how to address bottlenecks. Monique shares her approach:
It’s not always the leader as the sole bottleneck, but conversations often reveal areas for leader growth.
The fine line: “You have to hold yourself accountable in order to hold your team accountable.”
Learning from parenting: “Do as I say, not as I do” isn’t effective. Leaders must model the behavior they expect.
The gut-check moment: “Maybe some of these things are me.”
The importance of modeling the desired behavior for your team.
Asking the “who, what, when, and how” for every lofty vision or billion-dollar idea.
The power of asking “why?” and “tell me more” to help leaders see their own blind spots and resource allocation issues (budget, people).
Tune in for insights on fostering leadership accountability and effective change management.
Monique Levy: Scaling a Family Business & Finding the Right Hires | Mamish Maverick

In this clip from Mamish Maverick, host Maynard Breslow talks with Monique Levy of Levy Consulting about the unique challenges of growing a business, especially one with family roots and specialized needs. Maynard highlights the generational push-and-pull – where the next generation wants to “take it to the next level” while the established generation is content (the “king of mattresses” analogy).
Monique shares invaluable insights into:
The difficulty of finding people with specialized skill sets who can “jump in without a lot of training.”
Balancing client work with the need to train and develop new team members.
The importance of motivation, ambition, and the willingness for new hires to develop their own style and client base in consulting.
The “biggest hurdle”: finding individuals with both the right expertise and the intrinsic motivation to thrive in a growing consultancy.
Integrating new talent into a family business dynamic.
Listen as Monique Levy discusses the strategies and obstacles Levy Consulting faces in talent acquisition and scaling their operations.
The VIRAL Trap: Why Chasing Fame Isn’t a Real Business Strategy

Is going viral the ultimate goal, or a dangerous distraction? In this clip from the B2P Podcast, host Maynard and guest Shawn Khorrami discuss the modern obsession with virality, especially among aspiring content creators. Shawn breaks down why relying on a “viral moment” is like buying a lottery ticket – it’s not a sustainable marketing or business plan. They explore the “Hock Tua girl” example and emphasize that true success comes from consistent, daily effort, not a one-off flash in the pan. Learn why the best content creators are also dedicated marketers and business owners who show up every day.
Key Points:
The allure and pitfalls of chasing virality.
Why viral moments are “lottery tickets,” not strategies.
The “Today Show” analogy: one appearance isn’t a plan.
Real entrepreneurship requires consistent daily effort.
Successful content creators are hardworking business owners.

Stop Selling Products, Start Selling Your BUSINESS

Are you just selling a product, or are you selling the entire experience and trust of your business? On the B2P Podcast, Shawn Khorrami (author of the upcoming book “Your Business is Your Product”) challenges host Maynard and listeners to rethink what they’re truly offering. He explains that while business owners might focus on the “widget,” customers are evaluating the entire company – from its service to its reliability – as the actual “product” they invest in. This is a game-changing perspective for any entrepreneur.
In this clip:
The core concept: “Your business is your product.”
Why customers’ purchasing decisions go far beyond the physical item.
The importance of the “consumer hat” for business owners.
How your entire company becomes the offering.
Catch the full wisdom on the B2P Podcast!
