Are you an independent funeral home owner feeling caught in the "day-to-day" grind? In this episode of Two Guys and a Question, Alan Creedy and Danny Jefferson pull back the curtain on how they help funeral directors transition from being "firemen" to strategic planners.

Alan and Danny discuss the tangible impact of small, disciplined changes—sharing a real-world example of how just eight months of coaching increased a business's value by over $300,000. They dive deep into the four biggest challenges facing the industry today:

• Staffing & Retention: How to define a "good person" and build a culture worth joining.

• Managing Burnout: Moving past the 60-hour work week and the "guilt" of not being on the floor.

• Competitive Edge: How small firms can thrive against large corporate chains.

• The Cremation Shift: Balancing long-held traditions with the rising demand for cremation and final disposition.

Whether you're looking to boost your average sales, increase volume, or simply find more dignity and balance in your profession, this episode offers a roadmap for transformation.

Is your leadership style stuck in the 20th century?

In this episode of Two Guys and a Question, Danny Jefferson and Alan Creedy explore a fundamental shift in management: the transition from being a "question answerer" to a "question asker."

Alan shares insights from a recent Harvard Business Review study, noting that the most effective leaders today don't dictate from above—they seek feedback, embrace curiosity, and ask the right questions of their teams and themselves.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The 3-Item Exercise: A simple, anonymous way to uncover what your staff loves and what frustrates them.

• The Silent Performers: Why your best employees (the "20%") are often the quietest, and how to stop ignoring them.

• Unconscious Traits: A candid look at how personal mannerisms—like being perceived as "harsh"—can unintentionally devalue a team.

• The Power of Being Needed: Why asking for a team member's advice is one of the strongest motivators in the workplace.

If you’ve ever felt a disconnect with your staff or want to move from managing to truly leading, this conversation is for you. Learn why ending your sentences with a question mark instead of a period can change everything.
