The co-author of Pendulum wrote a myriad of other books and started a...

Key Highlights
The “Yeah, but…” trap – The three most common excuses Marc hears (“no time,” “what if I fail,” “what will people think?”) and how to reframe them.

College vs. outcomes – Why nobody really wants college or a job; they want what those paths can provide.

Entrepreneur, intrapreneur, multipreneur – How to build multiple income streams even if you stay employed.

From film to Apple to exec coaching – Marc’s path from freelance photography to Apple dealer to executive coach.

Fixed vs. growth mindset – Why the most valuable people are often the ones who ask, “How do I improve this?”

Failure as a feature – Using missteps as data instead of evidence you’re not good enough.

Real coaching vs. hucksters – What legitimate executive coaching looks like in a world of “overnight success” gurus.

The “Now / Near / Next / No” filter – A simple way to prioritize (and kill) ideas so you can actually move forward.

Being a “certified human” in the AI age – How showing you’re real, present, and imperfect can 
be your best differentiator.

As you listen, think about the “yeah, buts” that are running your own decisions—career, business, or life—and which one needs to go first.

Podcast Title: "Teaching, Trades & College Myths"

What happens when a veteran Middle Tennessee teacher gets brutally honest about grades, test scores, college, and what kids actually need to succeed? In this episode of The Mostly Middle Tennessee Business Podcast, host Jim sits down with Williamson County educator Greg Svihlik for a raw, wide‑ranging conversation on modern education—and why it matters to parents, business owners, and the next generation of workers.

Greg shares the seventh‑grade moment that changed his life, when a math teacher told him he’d be “flipping burgers” for not understanding algebra. That wound became a mission: never making a student feel small as a person, even while being brutally direct about effort, responsibility, and results. From there, Jim and Greg dig into the pendulum swings of education—test retakes, grade inflation, and the pressure to chase test scores while trying to build actual humans.

Together, they unpack the stigma around blue‑collar work, the push that “everyone must go to college,” and why Greg believes we’re failing kids by not championing trades, vocational paths, and real‑world skills. They also explore how AI, social media, and declining trust in institutions are reshaping how students see work, authority, and truth—and why Greg calls his social studies class a “life skills class in disguise.”

If you’re a parent wondering how to guide your kids, a business owner frustrated with the workforce pipeline, or a young person trying to figure out your path, this episode offers perspective, challenge, and a lot of heart. From propaganda and the American Revolution to college debt, trade school success stories, and parenting in the age of iPads, Greg and Jim cover the hard questions most people avoid.

Episode Highlights:

The brutal comment from a seventh‑grade teacher that pushed Greg into education

Why Greg insists on seeing students as people first, kids second, students third

How test retakes, safety nets, and grade inflation changed student motivation

Greg’s case for failing early and safely in middle school instead of in college

Why he tells parents that state standards are low on his priority list

The argument for trade schools, HVAC, mechanics, and blue‑collar paths

A former struggling student now flipping cars and making more than many grads

Why Greg believes AI can’t replace teachers: the irreplaceable human element

Teacher burnout, stress, pay—and why 100+ kids’ lives are on your mind at night

How social media and 24/7 news drive cynicism and distrust in the next generation

Teaching propaganda through the American Revolution and modern media examples

Greg’s budgeting project using his real paycheck to teach money and life

How parents unintentionally rob kids of struggle by over‑protecting them

The difference between working hard and “working smart” as an excuse for laziness

Why Greg calls his classroom a place to build confidence, communication, and grit

Together, they trace Craig’s unconventional path from engineering and accounting to auditing NASA contractors, then into the exploding wireless and cell tower industry, where he helped Crown Castle grow from hundreds to thousands of towers and employees. Craig shares what it’s really like to “build the plane while flying it,” how culture gets stretched and diluted at scale, and why he ultimately left a public company to help business owners one-on-one.

The episode dives into the mindset shift from employee to owner, the limits of traditional education, and why coaching, mentoring, and “guru culture” are not the same thing. Jim and Craig explore how AI, automation, and economic cycles are reshaping work, why trades and entrepreneurship are on the rise, and how faith, perspective, and continuous learning can turn crises into solvable problems. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about disguised cell towers, economic “pendulums,” George Carlin, and why the next generation may be the most cynical yet—and maybe that’s not all bad.

Episode Highlights:

How Craig went from space‑shuttle audit work to managing cell tower networks and obstruction lighting
What it means to “build the plane while flying it” inside a fast-growing public company
How rapid growth can transform—and sometimes fracture—company culture
The difference between owning a job and owning a true business
Why college often trains “obedient workers,” not owners and builders
How ActionCOACH and “business re‑education” help fill the gaps schools don’t cover
Coaching vs courses: real mentoring and questions vs one‑size‑fits‑all “guru” programs
Why AI and automation may hit white‑collar work like NAFTA hit manufacturing
The coming shortage in the trades and why many hands‑on jobs are more AI‑resistant
Economic and cultural cycles: insights from Ray Dalio, The Fourth Turning, and Pendulum
Social media, deepfakes, and the rise of a highly skeptical, disillusioned generation
Immigration, struggle, and what happens to a society that’s had it “too good for too long”
Craig’s “there is no crisis” philosophy—and how systems, preparation, and faith support it
Why continuous learning matters: “When you’re green, you grow. When you’re ripe, you rot.”
Where to find Craig online and why Jim wants him to get his own podcast going again
Whether you’re a small business owner, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply rethinking your career in a changing world, you’ll find perspective, practical insight, and a reminder that growth, resilience, and good questions never go out of style. Listen, share, and be part of the conversation.
