  • Trust the System: Why Emotional Decisions Kill Growth
    Feb 16 2026

    February hits hard—payroll, slow phones, post-holiday cash flow dips—and suddenly your marketing strategy that worked in October isn’t working anymore. 😳

    In this episode of Stop Working Broke, I break down why emotional decision-making is the fastest way to kill growth and why trusting your systems—and your data—is the key to leadership.

    Learn how to:

    • Avoid the panic pattern that resets results to zero
    • Stay consistent with your marketing, pricing, and sales systems
    • Use the 90-day rule to make decisions with data, not emotions
    • Pivot strategically without destroying your momentum
    • Turn slow months like February into opportunities for training, process improvement, and cash flow wins

    Stop overreacting. Start executing. Let the market reward your consistency, and prove your leadership—even when it’s hard. 💪

  • Fear to Success – 5 Fixes That Keep You Up at Night
    Feb 11 2026

    It’s 10:30 PM.

    Payroll hits Friday.
    You underbid three jobs.
    Your top tech thinks he runs the company.
    You’re scared to raise prices.
    You feel behind.

    And you don’t have anyone to talk to who actually understands.

    In this episode, Chad Murray breaks down the 5 real fixes that move you from fear to control — fast.

    These aren’t mindset quotes. These are operator-level changes that immediately shift your cash flow, leadership, and confidence.

    Here’s what we cover:

    1. How to strategically raise prices (without killing sales)
    2. Why your sales process is outdated — and how to fix it
    3. The 3 numbers you MUST track every week
    4. The one employee you already know you need to fire
    5. Why getting in the right rooms changes everything

    Chad shares raw stories from:

    • Bankruptcy
    • IRS audits
    • Rebuilding a sales team from zero
    • Scaling past chaos

    The truth?
    Most business owners won’t do these five things.

    But if you do, everything changes.

    You don’t need more motivation.
    You need perspective — and proximity.

  • How to Networking for ROI and Trash-Can Marketing Wins
    Jan 28 2026

    If the anxiety never shuts off…
    If you’re buried in jobs chasing checks…
    And your phone goes quiet the second you stop pushing…

    This episode is for you.

    In today’s Stop Working Broke Podcast, Chad Murray breaks down real, boots-on-the-ground strategies he wishes he used sooner—the same ones helping trades and service business owners double and even triple revenue without burning out.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    👉 Why most networking groups fail (BNI, Chambers, “good ol’ boy” clubs)
    👉 How relationship-based networking actually creates referrals and revenue
    👉 A guerrilla trash-can marketing tactic that beats door hangers and cold knocking
    👉 How to use video testimonials to pre-sell jobs before you even show up
    👉 How to turn proximity into profit without more stress
    👉 Why freedom starts when the anxiety stops running the business

    This episode is especially powerful if you’re in the trades or home services and feel stuck grinding harder just to stay in place.

    🔥 Chad also introduces Growth Engine Networks (GEN) — a new national network built around real business training + real referrals, not wasted meetings.

    If you’re done guessing, done grinding, and ready for clarity, systems, and steady leads…
    Hit play.
