The Redneck Connecktor | Helping Business Owners Land Premium Clients Without Cold DMs or Pitchy Networking | Building Trust-First Businesses in a Low-Trust World | Founder of the Hounds of Business Community

Most business owners don’t fail because they’re lazy or clueless.
They fail because, in a low-trust world, they’ve been 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒅.

Played by networking groups where everyone’s just waiting their turn to pitch.

Played by coaches who promise clients but never had to make payroll.

 Played by “systems” that feel sleazy and suck the joy out of business.

That was me once too, all heart, no clue. Until I discovered a better way:

𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭. 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝. 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭.

Because when trust becomes your strategy, clients stop hesitating, partnerships start compounding, and business finally feels right again.

Now we help entrepreneurs, coaches, and business owners:

🐺 𝐂𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 on LinkedIn & YouTube without playing algorithm games.
🐺 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 without cold DMs, funnels, or fake engagement tactics.
🐺 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬 & 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 that replace solo ad spend for good.

We do it through three layers:

 1️⃣ 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠- my 4 C’s framework (Clarity, Connections, Community, Conversion).
 2️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲- a vetted pack of professionals who actually care about each other’s success.
 3️⃣ 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 & 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦- visibility, partnerships, and introductions most people never get access to.

The Results

🐾 1 M+ views in 90 days
 🐾 Members going from ignored to inbound, stalled to booked, and “coffee chats” to clients
 🐾 Partnerships with Level Up Academy, Kindness Worldwide, Pantheon.FM, The Connector Community, and more

I’m not here to sell magic buttons.
I’m here to show you the game, the rules, and how to pick the 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

If you’re serious about growing your network & net worth without chasing, pitching, or selling your soul, we should talk.

Because business grows at the speed of trust.
𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭. 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬.

Mike Ashabraner

Ever notice how some rooms move faster, not because of competition, but because of connection?

That’s what I call the 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 in community.
When people feel safe, seen, and supported, momentum explodes.
Referrals fly. Partnerships form. Collaboration replaces comparison.

It’s not about chasing clients or clout, it’s about building a circle where trust does the heavy lifting.

In a world that glorifies hustle, the real power lies in slowing down and no one knows that better than Cynthia Fluck, former Navy pilot, corporate strategist, and now Holistic Transformation Practitioner.

 🐾 The science behind focus, flow, and nervous-system regulation
 🐾 How to rewire your body and brain from stress to success
 🐾 Practical resets that help high achievers perform sustainably

Whether you’re a founder, executive, or everyday high performer running on fumes, this episode will show you how to do less, be more, and achieve better results through the science of flow and the power of alignment.

Slow Down to Level Up: The Science of High Performance

Presented by the Hounds of Business Community on Mike King Biz Radio (ESPN RVA 106.1FM)

The holidays expose something most high performers never admit out loud:
When the world slows down… they often struggle the most.
That’s why Curtis Rivers is the perfect guest for this moment.

Curtis is an award-winning author, former Hollywood stuntman, peak-performance coach, and one of the most spiritually grounded high-achiever mentors working today. His clients call him “the reset button you don’t know you need.” His blend of emotional mastery, mental clarity, and practical performance psychology has transformed leaders, founders, creators, and executives across the globe.

As we close out the year, Curtis joins us to talk about what high performers really need during the holidays — not more hustle, not more goals, and definitely not more stress — but the right kind of reset that sets up a breakthrough year.

In This Conversation, Curtis Helps High Performers Learn How To:

1. Navigate holiday pressure with emotional intelligence
 So you avoid the self-sabotage loops, hidden expectations, and old emotional patterns that tend to surface this time of year.

2. Reset mentally and spiritually without losing momentum
 The secret to entering 2025 with clarity, calm, and a sharper edge — not burnout disguised as productivity.

3. Use reflection, simplicity, and presence to fuel next-level breakthroughs
 How to turn the quiet moments of the holidays into power multipliers that accelerate you into your best year yet.

Curtis will also share the mindset shifts, personal rituals, and inner practices he teaches elite performers, the same tools he used to rebuild his own life after decades of high-stakes stunt work and success pressure.

If you’re ready to stop dragging the weight of this year into the next…
If you want to make 2025 a year of aligned, unstoppable growth…
If you want a December that actually lifts you up instead of wearing you out…

This is your reset moment.
Tune in and rise.

Reset to Rise: How High Performers Elevate During the Holidays

Presented by the Hounds of Business Community on Mike King Biz Radio (ESPN RVA 106.1FM)

The healthcare system is changing fast and not always for the better. Costs rise, patients wait, and innovation often lags behind need. But every so often, someone steps forward who isn’t afraid to challenge the system, call out the broken parts, and build something better.

That’s Dr. Jay Joshi.

A nationally respected physician, double board-certified in Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain, Dr. Joshi has spent 30 years at the cutting edge of medicine pioneering procedures, creating first-in-the-world protocols, predicting the OxyContin epidemic before it happened, and pushing for ethical innovation long before it became a buzzword.

He’s the mind behind the first virtual interventional pain practice, groundbreaking regenerative medicine systems, and AAI Health, a platform redefining musculoskeletal care, digital health, and patient-centered treatment.

But what sets him apart isn’t just the innovation.
It’s the integrity.

Dr. Joshi believes medicine should be built on truth, transparency, and doing what’s right even when it’s unpopular and he’s bringing that message straight to entrepreneurs, founders, healthcare leaders, and everyday citizens who are tired of the noise and ready to understand what’s really going on.

In This Episode, We’ll Break Down:

🐾 The Good, the Bad & the Broken in Modern Healthcare
 Why musculoskeletal care is failing millions and what needs to change.
🐾 Innovation with Integrity
 🐾How AI, AAI Health, and ethical digital medicine can transform patient outcomes (without cutting corners).

Leadership Under Pressure
What 30 years of first-in-the-world medical breakthroughs taught Dr. Joshi about courage, precision, and staying human in high-stakes environments.

Whether you’re a founder, executive, creator, healthcare professional, or someone who wants to be better informed about the future of care, this is a rare chance to hear directly from a physician who isn’t afraid to tell the truth and who’s actively building what comes next.

Tune in to get a clearer picture of healthcare’s future…
 and the leadership mindset needed to fix it.

Disrupting Medicine: Integrity, Innovation & the Future of Care w/Dr. Joshi

The holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for most busy professionals, it’s the season when stress spikes, routines collapse, and momentum disappears.

3. Keeping Business Momentum When Everyone Else Slows Down
Mike shares the practical “Hounds way” of staying visible, connected, and moving forward without grinding yourself into dust.

4. Real Talk on Boundaries, Balance & Being Human
The conversation your audience actually needs and how to stay healthy, present, and purposeful during a time that pulls people in every direction.

5. Audience Q&A: Your Biggest Holiday Challenges

We’ll address the real obstacles professionals face in December:

How to avoid losing progress

How to stay consistent without overwhelm

How to protect your peace

How to reset for a powerful New Year

Why You Should Tune In

A former Hollywood stuntman turned award-winning life coach (Curtis)

A community-building strategist leading one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurial ecosystems (Mike)
