About this listen

 Solving small business problems so you can be more profitable, with less stress, and run a modern small business. You got into this for freedom. The ability to choose how you work, when you rest, how it all gets done. But then the to-do list took over, the stress crept in, and now you're doing the whole thing by yourself. Businessing is the daily live show for small business owners who want their business to actually work for their life. We talk about what's real: making more money without burning out, getting the right stuff done without losing your mind, and running a business built for 2026, not 2006. Hiring. Marketing. Time. AI. The stuff you're actually dealing with. And every show features the Idea Slam. You come on the air, tell us what you're working on right now, and we make it great together. Live. No net. Nine out of ten social posts are AI-generated now. The feed is full of noise. This show is real conversation with real people solving real problems in real time.

    Businessing - 2/19/26 | Raise Your Rates Today — Here’s Why the Window Is Open
    Feb 20 2026

    Raise your rates. Today. Pat makes the case that every service-based business owner is undercharging — and the window is wide open to fix it. Top lawyers now bill $3,400/hour, which means your mental ceiling just got blown off. Plus: a bipartisan bill to break up credit card swipe fees could put 3% back in your pocket, Viagra might prevent Alzheimer’s (yes, really), and two Idea Slams tackle summer slowdowns and late-paying clients.

    Businessing - 2/18/26 | Lead Magnets Are Dead — Here’s What Replaces Them
    Feb 19 2026

    Lead magnets are dead. Or at least dying. Today Pat breaks down why the old playbook — trade an email for a PDF, drip on them for weeks, then sell — is falling apart as AI makes education essentially free. The new trust equation? Stop teaching and start DOING. Give people a tangible result before you ever ask for money.

    Plus: Zuckerberg in court over social media addiction, a hiring crisis where 79% of job seekers are using AI to apply, Dead Internet Theory invades the job market, the Jeff Bezos question every business owner should ask, and Pat introduces his AI agent named Houston.

    Businessing - 2/17/26 | 6 Ways to Cut 10% of Your Business Expenses Today
    Feb 17 2026

    Today's theme: MONEY. How to keep more of it. Business insurance is at an 8-year high — local insurance expert Tom Gaumond from G2 Insurance explains why and what you can do about it.

    Then Pat walks through 6 practical ways any business owner can cut 10% of their expenses starting today: domain hoarding, credit card interest, ACH payments, ad spend audits, software bloat, and the simple phone call that saves money every time.

    Plus two Idea Slams: what to do when a coaching client keeps canceling, and the one tool that's saving Pat the most time right now (it's not AI... sort of).

    Businessing with Pat Miller is small business's daily live show. New episodes weekdays at 11am Central.
