The Strategic B.I.Z.

About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Mark Sussman about the mindset and leadership needed for successful small business management.

What happens when business strategy gets a little notorious? In this episode of The Iron Rangers Podcast, we're joined by Mark Sussman, founder of Strategic Business Group and The Small Business Forum, for a conversation we're calling The Strategic B.I.Z.—a deep dive into the mindset, discipline, and leadership required to run a successful small business. Mark works with business owners and leadership teams as a leadership coach, executive coach, and mentor, helping them move from being stuck in the day-to-day to leading with clarity and intention. We talk about why strategy matters, how owners can elevate their role, and what it really takes to build a business that lasts. This episode is for owners who are ready to stop reacting, start leading, and get serious about their B.I.Z.
