      <title>Building Better Deals with Nancy Stabell of Wood Stabell Law Group</title>
      <description>In this episode of Well Coached, Chris Weinberg sits down with Nashville-based attorney and entrepreneur Nancy Stabell to explore how smart legal strategy can become a true growth driver, not just a risk management tool.

Nancy shares her journey from corporate law to building her own firm, and how her approach to law centers on helping business owners create opportunity, not just avoid problems. Together, they unpack what it means to be a “deal maker” in today’s business landscape and why the best legal partners think like strategic advisors.

Through the lens of people, sales, profit, and self, this conversation dives into the real-world decisions that shape businesses; from structuring deals and preparing for acquisitions to building strong leadership teams and avoiding costly mistakes. Nancy offers a candid look at what separates successful entrepreneurs from those who struggle, especially when it comes to preparation, financial clarity, and trusting the right advisors.

If you’re a founder, operator, or growing business owner, this episode will challenge how you think about legal support, and show you how the right guidance can help you move faster, make better decisions, and build long-term value.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:



  Why the best attorneys act as strategic partners, not just risk managers

  How to prepare your business 1–3 years in advance for a successful sale or acquisition

  The biggest red flags to watch for in deals, contracts, and financials

  How strong leadership, clean financials, and the right team increase business value

  Why relationships—not just legal terms—often determine the success of a deal

      <title>The Corporate Enough Leader: Professionalism Without Pretension</title>
      <description>In this solo episode of Well Coached, Chris Weinberg explores a leadership tension every growing business faces: how to become more professional without losing what made the business special in the first place. Chris breaks down the concept of being “corporate enough” and reframes professionalism as a tool for clarity, fairness, and scalability, not rigidity or bureaucracy.

Through the lens of People, Sales, Profit, and Self, Chris walks through the practical shifts leaders must make as they grow. From creating clear roles and expectations, to building sales systems that don’t rely on one personality, to gaining real visibility into profit, to evolving personally as a leader, this episode is a roadmap for moving from instinct to intentional leadership.

If your business is growing and things are starting to feel messy, this conversation will help you add structure in a way that protects your culture instead of compromising it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:



  How to introduce professionalism without losing creativity or culture

  Why clear roles and expectations actually improve morale and fairness

  How to build a sales process that scales beyond one person

  Why understanding profit matters more than just tracking revenue

  How leadership growth must match business growth to sustain momentum

      <title>Leading with Empathy: Building Loyal Teams and Clients</title>
      <description>Empathy is often misunderstood in the business world. Some see it as softness. Others see it as optional. In this solo episode, Chris makes the case that empathy is not just kindness. It is a competitive advantage.

Through the four pillars of people, sales, profit, and self, Chris explains how empathetic leadership builds loyalty, strengthens client relationships, reduces costly turnover, and creates psychological safety that fuels innovation. This is not about lowering standards. It is about leading with clarity and compassion at the same time. Empathy does not weaken performance. It multiplies it. If you want stronger teams, more profitable relationships, and a business you can sustain long term, empathy is not a luxury. It is an edge.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:


  How empathy increases team retention and long term performance

  Why empathetic listening is a powerful sales strategy

  The hidden profit cost of turnover and burnout

  How self empathy strengthens your leadership capacity

      <title>Transferable Leadership Skills with Brittany Schaffer, Dean of Belmont's Curb College of Entertainment &amp; Music </title>
      <description>In this episode of Well Coached, Chris Weinberg sits down with Brittany Schaffer for a conversation about transferable skill sets, reinvention, and leading with vision across very different environments. Brittany shares her career path from entertainment law in Los Angeles, to building and leading teams at Spotify, to her current role as Dean of Belmont University’s Curb College of Entertainment and Music. Together, they unpack what stayed consistent as her titles changed: big picture thinking, relationship building, and the ability to lead through influence rather than authority.

Through the People, Sales, Profit, Self lens, Brittany breaks down how her leadership style evolved, what Spotify taught her about difficult conversations and leading up the org chart, and how she’s brought just corporate enough structure into academia without losing creativity. They also dive into how universities communicate their value in a way that aligns with mission, and Brittany shares an initiative she’s passionate about: the Center for Mental Health and Entertainment, designed to help create a healthier, more sustainable industry ecosystem.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


  How to build a leadership identity that transfers across industries and titles

  What Brittany learned at Spotify about feedback, hard conversations, and leading up

  How to bring structure into creative environments without killing creativity

  Why mental health is becoming a core leadership and sustainability issue in entertainment

      <description>In this solo episode of Well Coached, host Chris Weinberg explores one of the most important (and most overlooked) parts of scaling a business: maintaining your company’s heart and culture as you grow.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:


  What real company culture looks like (hint: it’s not a mural)

  How to protect your team’s values through intentional hiring and onboarding

  Why scaling your sales pitch doesn’t mean going cold or corporate

  The ROI of strong internal culture on team retention and performance

  How your own habits set the tone for everyone else

      <title>From Kitchen Table to Conference Table: When to Add Structure (and When Not To)</title>
      <description>In this solo episode of Well Coached, Chris Weinberg breaks down a critical moment in every growing business—the point where hustle alone isn’t enough and structure starts to matter.

Chris walks you through that transition using his four signature pillars—People, Sales, Profit, and Self—to help you identify the signs it’s time to level up, and how to do it without killing your momentum.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


  How to spot the signs your team needs more clarity and role definition

  What minimum structure is needed to scale your sales without chaos

  Why forecasting matters once your fixed costs increase

  How to shift from hustle mode to healthy delegation as a founder

  Why structure isn’t bureaucracy—it’s scaffolding for growth

      <description>In this incredibly inspiring episode of Well Coached, bestselling author and speaker Mary Marantz joins Chris to talk about her journey from a single-wide trailer in rural West Virginia to Yale Law School and beyond. Mary unpacks how her new book Underestimated calls women to stop shrinking themselves to fit a story they’ve outgrown.

  Why your background doesn't define your future—but your mindset might

  How to turn pain, shame, and “not enough” into platforms for impact

  The danger of minimizing your story and how to step into visibility

  What it really takes to be underestimated—and rise anyway
