The Kronos Group Podcast

In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie sits down with Dr. Maureen Gibbons, physician, Ironman triathlete, and founder of AMS Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Mo is the author of Freedom to Shift, and this conversation earns every word of that title. Jerry opens up about one of the rawest chapters of his life: being hospitalized 71 times, carrying 110 extra pounds, living on 19 medications, quitting 200mg of oxymorphone cold turkey after a 25-year addiction, and the moment in November 2021 when he was down four pints of blood and chose not to die. Dr. Mo responds with her own truth: a childhood spent on diets, competing in Ironmans at 160 pounds, hiding a GLP-1 prescription from her husband, and the moment eight hours after her first dose when her brain finally went quiet. What this conversation is really about is identity. What happens when the version of you that got you here is not the version that gets you to the next level. What it costs a high achiever to keep pushing without addressing the foundation. And what becomes possible on the other side when you stop treating your health like a willpower contest. Dr. Mo breaks down her SHIFT framework — Success Happens In Focused Transitions — and why health freedom, time freedom, and income freedom are all connected. They also cover: the most overrated health advice, the one habit high performers refuse to let go of, GLP-1 medications without the media noise, and the single fastest action you can take right now to start getting your energy back.

In Episode #321 of The Kronos Group Podcast, Matt Floyd, Steve Floyd, and Jerry Brazie break down the real reason business owners stay stuck — and why the answer isn't more information, better routines, or copying billionaires. It's ownership. This episode dives into: Why "work-life balance" is misleading The daily reset mindset that elite operators use Why Elon Musk-style routines don't apply to you The dangerous habit of blaming external factors How to eliminate the "mental tax" holding you back Why outside perspective is the ultimate unfair advantage If you're serious about growing your business, your health, and your life — this is required listening.

Marvin Karlow has been on both sides of the table. He built a manufacturing business out of distressed private equity, grew it, merged it, and sold it to a publicly traded acquirer. Then he watched too many business owners in the $1M to $50M range get underserved at the exit and decided to do something about it. He runs Raincatcher, and he runs closed bid auctions the way investment banks do it for big deals, except for the business owners everyone else ignores. Jerry and Marvin break down the real M&A process, not the version you read about in Forbes, but the version that actually applies to the business you built. This is a conversation about getting what your company is actually worth. Watch it before you need it.

Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd break down what's really happening in the economy, why every entrepreneur is feeling it, and what actually separates the business owners who grow through it from the ones who turtle. From gas prices and nuclear energy to accountability, masterminds, and why the room you're in changes everything — this one goes deep. No fluff, no filter, just the real conversation.

Alan Lazaros was on paper doing everything right at 26. Global top earner, debt paid off, money invested. A head-on crash changed all of it — and forced him to ask the question he had been avoiding: was he actually living at his potential, or just performing for an audience that did not matter? In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, Jerry Brazie and Alan Lazaros go deep on grit, identity, the compound effect, and why the most successful people rarely look like it online. No filters, no fluff. This episode is part of The Kronos Group Podcast, where experienced operators and founders share real-world lessons on building, scaling, and protecting their businesses.
