Lazy LeverageLazy LeverageA Peak into Strategy - Good or Bad Idea? | Lazy Leverage #68Jon and Peter dive into one of those ideas that sounds crazy at first but might actually be brilliant: buying luxury vacation properties as a business expense that doubles as a killer member benefit. Jon's been noodling on this concept for months, and it's finally survived his brutal idea-filtering process (which involves annoying everyone from his CFO to random Twitter buddies until the bad ideas die off). Here's the pitch: Sagan would purchase several properties—think ski chalets, beach houses, maybe something in Mexico—and offer them to members at 50-75% below Airbnb rates. The kicker? Thanks to b...2025-08-0939 minPeter Lohmann\'s PodcastPeter Lohmann's PodcastStrategic Leadership Lessons with Cathy Gainer: How Great Operators ThinkWhat separates a good operator from a great one?In this episode, Peter talks with Cathy Gainer, a strategic coach and former RL Property Management team member, about the mindset, discipline, and decision-making skills that define high-performing operators.

Or threatened with lawsuits. Or dealing with angry lawyers sending nasty letters demanding ridiculous amounts of money. It happens to almost every business owner, but nobody shares war stories because of shame, legal settlements with gag clauses, and the general awkwardness of admitting you're in legal hot water. Jon and Peter break that silence with practical advice from the trenches. They cover how to tell the difference between someone who's actually dangerous (rich people who...2025-07-221h 07Lazy LeverageLazy LeverageDon’t Just Solve the Problem - Solve It Forever | Lazy Leverage #64Peter unpacks what he learned from taking a full month off (his fourth annual sabbatical) including what worked, what didn’t, and how stepping back clarified his relationship with work, team leadership, and systems. Spoiler: nothing broke. The business ran just fine. And that’s the point. Jon and Peter dive into how structured time off isn’t just a luxury - it’s a leadership test. It exposes whether your team and systems are truly ready to stand without you. But it also creates clarity: Over time, through his yearly retreats, Peter rediscovered the joy of m...2025-07-1747 minLazy LeverageLazy LeverageArchitecting Work: The Blueprint for Scale, Sanity, and Leverage | Lazy Leverage #62Jon and Peter explore a deceptively simple but powerful concept: architecting how work gets done. Inspired by Profit Coach and shaped through years of trial and error, it’s more than systems and tools - it’s about intentionally designing workflows that enable scale, accountability, and freedom. They start by defining what “done” looks like, then dive into tools like swimlane diagrams, task maps, and online forms - essential for hiring, training, delegation, and AI. Leverage doesn’t begin with tech - it starts with basics, like removing your phone number from the website so work flows through sy...2025-06-1942 minLazy LeverageLazy LeverageThe 4-Level System That Lets You Take a Month Off Every Year | Lazy Leverage #61While a ton of business owners today are chasing the next AI hack or automation craze, Jon and Peter return to a foundational truth: leverage isn’t a tactic - it’s a philosophy. Today they’re talking about “Matt’s Hierarchy of Leverage,” a napkin-sketch turned mental model that redefines how small business owners should think about time, talent, and tools. Rather than obsessing over AI for AI’s sake, they explore leverage as a quiet system of compounding returns: replacing complexity with clarity, chaos with delegation, and brute effort with thoughtful structure. At its core, the...2025-05-2855 minLazy LeverageLazy LeverageTrust at Scale: How Content Compounds When You Do It Right | Lazy Leverage #60In a time where brands everywhere churn out content for clout, Jon and Peter make the case that there is power in focusing on niche over noise. They talk about the difference between running a media business—one dependent on clicks, views, and CPMs—and running a business powered by media. The latter isn’t chasing virality. It’s using content to build trust at scale, with the right audience. A single engaged viewer—one potential customer who finds real value—can be more powerful than 50 million passive scrolls. This mindset reframes media from a vanity metri...2025-05-2248 minLazy LeverageLazy LeverageThe Hidden Power of Low Leverage (And How to Use It Strategically) | Lazy Leverage #59In an age obsessed with scale, speed, and leverage, it’s easy to forget that the best long-term advantage might come from doing the exact opposite. Call it the "Low Leverage Advantage." When you're early in your career—or launching something new—there’s a strong case for diving into the work yourself. Not delegating. Not automating. Just doing. Need to onboard a new sales team? Write the first 20 cold DMs yourself. Building a new ops process? Sit next to the team member buried in outdated workflows and fix it together. Why? Because high lev...2025-05-1658 minLazy LeverageLazy LeverageWhy Your Business Problems Are Actually Leadership Problems (And How to Fix Them) | Lazy Leverage #58Most small business owners think leadership is instinctual—something you figure out once you’re “in charge”. But if your managers act like friends, choke on tough conversations, or drown their teams in bureaucracy—you've got a leadership gap that’s preventing you from taking your company to the next level.. Today, Jon and Peter break down why leadership is taught, not caught. Their message is simple: great companies don't just promote top performers and hope for the best. They train leaders the moment they’re knighted into management—and they make the expectations painfully clear. It’s not enou...2025-05-0544 minLazy LeverageLazy LeverageStop Using AI to Make Horses Faster: Design for the Future Now | Lazy Leverage #55AI isn’t here to replace your team—it’s here to give them time back.
