Do you want the secret on how to run a successful business? In this episode, Bryan Clayton, CEO & Founder of GreenPal shares how he was able to grow his company profitably without any external capital.  He explains what he's learned from his failures and successes over the past 10 years. Why not grow organically?  It's cheaper and can be faster.  Bryan provides insights into how he used AI technology to create and deliver value to GreenPal consumers. Bryan also believes one major contributing factor to his success was developing and growing through an org chart.  Maybe leaders never seriously consider an org chart and how it can drive an organization.  GreenPal, known as "Uber for lawn care" is entirely self-funded, a rare accomplishment in the startup world.  They have grown rapidly and now serve over 200,000 active users, completing thousands of transactions per day.  The company has been profitable since its first year of operation.  Annual revenue now exceeds $30 million.

Do you know how companies make money with your business and personal data?  What if you could connect your data with non-competitors for mutual gain? The online world is overflowing with opportunity… and high risks that can take your company down if you're sloppy with your data.  But then again, there's a lot to be gained if you can find the right path.  Our guest in this episode is Nadab Akhtar.  Nadab and his CrowdPoint team leverages smart contracts and blockchain technology to protect human identity with their Vogon Decentralized Cloud.  This Vogon beast is designed to handle massive amounts of data - securely with ease. You gain the benefits of transparent data sharing and a revolutionary new kind of secure data protection, plus reliable “data lake” CrowdPoint calls Collective Intelligence. Join Nadab and David, our host, as they explore how CrowdPoint is trying to enable users to own their data, even as it moves around the world.  We're talking previously unprecedented control over things like identity, finance, and commerce in the new Web3 economy.  At least that's the CrowdPoint vision.  We can't predict whether they'll succeed or not, but it's something to consider.   This is NOT a technical discussion or deep dive into CrowdPoint's technology.  Instead, this podcast is a layman's introduction into how businesses (small, medium, and large) ultimately could leverage CrowdPoint's blockchain fintech in decentralized markets that connect real-world goods and services with consumers. Nadab has 15+ years' experience in corporate advisory and M&A transactions.  He currently leads strategy, finance, banking, legal, and regulatory functions at CrowdPoint which has developed the first hybrid utility token to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.                                                           -------  Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Manage2Win ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

Life can be a lot like Chutes and Ladders, the classic children's board game, says Richard Moran, author of a new book, NEVER SAY WHATEVER: How Small Decisions Make a Big Difference (McGraw Hill; April 11, 2023).  Each time you say “whatever” you slide down a chute, but each time you make a decision, you have the potential to climb a ladder and move forward.  Moran, host of the syndicated show “In the Workplace,” observes that “whatever” has become a flippant remark that is essentially a dismissal of responsibility.  David, our host, and Richard agree that “whatever” is a “four-letter word,” similar to the F-word, S-word, N-word and others.  It's toxic, disrespectful, and can be irresponsible.  Moran takes this a step further.  He believes at work using the “w” word can be a career killer with short-and long-term consequences.  And in personal relationships it's toxic.  It almost always defers or eliminates a decision or a choice that should be made. But the w-word is a habit.  A bad one.  Join this discussion if you're tired of Gen Z or any other generation dismissing your ideas, concerns, and/or commands as a leader with “whatever…”  Moran has data to back up his conclusions, and ways to overcome this bad habit.  Join this podcast to learn more.   Moran has served as a CEO, a college president, a venture capitalist, and a top-level consultant.  He has worked for or with some of the world's leading organizations including Accenture, Apple, News Corp, American Airlines, PG&E and many others.  He prides himself on his matter-of-fact manner of consulting and believes that many parts of the business world are needlessly complicated. Moran holds a Ph.D. in organizational behavior but his work is not academic.  Research is important, but he believes what is just as critical are the observations one can make by being in the “trenches” of business.  His observations are candid, humorous, and true.   Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Manage2Win ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

Everyone has emotional attachments.  It's part of how humans are designed to survive and thrive.  However, everyone also has gaps or wounds in the ways we relate to others in our workplace and personal lives.

Tracy's approach can be a gamechanger for women professionals seeking to maximize their career while balancing complex personal lives.  She and her team also help men, whom some would say can be less aware of relational issues.  Tracy's team focuses on issues many have with emotional well-being, bias, expectations, self-doubt, being in a daily emotional struggle, and learning to trust themselves.  They have a six-month system to crush that negativity committee in your brain that's holding you back. Join David and Tracy as they discuss how to acknowledge yet silence the attachment beast, and keep it at bay.  This is a battle we all face, often much more than we realize.  Don't miss these insights to open your mind to new ways to greater success and meaning in life.

Would you like to Elevate, Elevate, and Excel what you do?  Jim Saliba is a former engineer who's become a leadership coach.  He uses a scorecard to keep people on track that's pretty interesting as part of his Triple E structure. Jim also talks about the 4 fears of leadership.  Do you have a negativity committee in your brain that keeps beating you up?  Virtually everyone does.  The key is how to overcome that noise to achieve results that are meaningful.  David called it a scorecard whereas James refers to it more as metrics to rate your people.  Color code it to know people's capabilities at a glance.  What criteria would you put on that scorecard?  It can't be too long, or too short.  It's got to be Goldilocks length, and have the specifics that are most important about your team.  Starting his career as a software engineer and eventually becoming a VP of a $4 billion tech company, Jim developed his Six-Step Leadership Challenge, which he later shared in a book that was released in Sept 2022.

The USDA says food waste is “estimated to be roughly one third of the food intended for human consumption in the United States.”  Our guest today, Matthew Bertulli, says the actual number is closer to 40% of our food ends-up in landfill.    When food is wasted it goes to the dump, which generates methane.  Methane gas is more toxic than Carbon Dioxide (CO2).  This is serious stuff, but what can you do about it besides trying to waste less food? Well… what happens in your grocery shopping and kitchen makes a difference.  Matthew is a software engineer, who reluctantly turned into a marketer and entrepreneur.  After bootstrapping his first company to 100+ people over 10+ years, he sold it to private equity in 2018.  He had stumbled onto the gargantuan problem of waste on our planet.  It overwhelms many, but Matthew zeroed in on one issue he found complicated because he loves a challenge:  How to combat food waste. The result is Matthew is the Co-founder and CEO of two consumer brands:  Pela Case and Lomi.  Pela is a certified B-corporation, has Jay-Z as a notable investor, was named Top 10 in the Canadian Business Growth 500 ranking, and is #1 in Deloitte's Fast 50 for cleantech businesses in Canada. Lomi has a countertop food waste compost system that has sold over 120,000 units.  But can these two companies slow the earth's demise enough to make a difference?  To learn more, join David conversation with Matthew.  And by the way, if you decide to purchase a Lomi, use the promo code, manage2win, for a discount.  Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Manage2Win  -------  This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

How would you respond to a disappointed boss that yelled at you after a significant failure? Many leaders would look for another place to work.  Tim Lupinacci made a different decision 30 years ago.  He became a self-professed “leadership junkie” to improve his leadership skills.  On this podcast, Tim discusses some of his best habits and ways to achieve significant things through others.  Today, Tim is CEO and Chair at Baker Donelson, where he leads over 1,300 individuals in 22 offices across the Southeastern US.  The firm is one of the nation's top 100 law firms, and it has a strong HR practice for other leaders.  Of particular interest to us, is that Tim recently launched a non-profit called “Everybody Leads.”  It's focused on empowering individuals in underserved communities with basic leadership skills and confidence to better lead themselves, lead others, and lead in the community. Whether you're a new leader or seasoned veteran, Tim has a perspective you can gain from.  Join this discussion to learn more about how Tim's journey can help you, and his nonprofit might be something for you to consider supporting.

Would you like insights from a top sales leader?  This is not a Microsoft-endorsed podcast, but our guest Helen Fanucci is a highly successful Microsoft sales executive who wants to share her best practices with you. Most sales managers think, “My team better make quota, or I'll lose my job.”  It's pretty simple.  However, Helen's sales leadership approach is to shift your focus intentionally and pragmatically from traditional deals and dollars to the ambitions, success, and well-being of each member of your team.  This means the sales professionals on your team are your first, middle, and last selling priority every day for sales management.  They are your number one customer! Part of the reason for this change is the hybrid work revolution that began back in 2020.  Sales management is even more important in our innovation economy, yet simultaneously the most challenging.

“Your thoughts do not define who you are,” our guest, Matt Tenney of The Mindfulness Edge, advises us.  What does that mean? Matt appealed to us as a guest because his agent communicated he had leadership lessons from a prison and a monastery.  That sounded intriguing.  Matt does have a four-step leadership system that can help many leaders. But it's what he learned in prison that I found most useful. Matt also explained how he starts every workday with 20-25 minutes of mindfulness, exercise, time with his family, and then blocks off his calendar until 11:00am.  Only urgent needs from clients get his morning time.  Makes you wonder…  What's Matt doing until 11am each workday?  Coffee and hot tubs? No. Matt sets aside every workday morning for “asset building.”  WOW!  Love it. What would happen if you did not look at email or answer texts/IM, etc. until 11am, and you invested that time into asset building? Listen to this podcast to learn more. Are you wondering what Matt shared about his time in prison?  You should.  It's powerful.  I can say so myself because I'm applying his Mindfulness Edge in my life.  (David) Listen to this podcast.  Good conversation.  Plus, two tips that can change your life.

The most important relationships to live out your company values are with your employees.  Can you state your company values from memory?  If not, why not?  Are you living them out daily?  How do you know? Aaron Burnett lives out his company's values every day.  As a result, people describe Aaron as “trustworthy,” “astute,” “imaginative,” and “scary smart.”  These are rarely adjectives used to describe marketing agency leaders after they have been in the industry for decades.  But Aaron walks his talk.

Jerome Deroy was hired, but did not connect with the company's culture.  When he did, he found it lacking direction.  Do any of your employees have the same feelings about your firm? Honest, engaging storytelling that touches people's hearts changes relationships, professional and personal.  How well do you explain things to others? Did you know the human brain is hard-wired for story?  Scientific studies show us that we remember stories more than data, statistics, and numbers.  Yet most people in business try to convince others rather than use a story. Jerome and his Narativ team seek to change that.  They help companies activate behavioral change from the inside out.  Their methods of listening and storytelling can transform anyone's communication. In this podcast, Jerome shares aspects of the rigorous and precise Narativ method that gets to the emotional heart of a story to better communicate your company's value, a point your want to make, or the way a partnership can be a huge win-win for those involved. Join us to hear Jerome's tips.  There's got to be one here that can help you communicate more effectively with others. Jerome joined Narativ in 2007 after the founders, Murray Nossel and Paul Browde, handed him a shoebox full of notes and said, “We think there's a company in here.”  Jerome had recently left a position at BNP Paribas, Hong Kong, and come to New York to pursue a career in filmmaking. Instead, he jumped at the challenge — and transformed Narativ into the business it is today. For the last 13 years, Jerome has worked closely with clients as diverse as CIGNA, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Janssen Pharma, and Warby Parker to craft business-relevant personal stories for sales, leadership, and team building.  He regularly lectures at Parsons New School of Design in New York City on The Art of Storytelling.

Here's your chance to learn from a “Brain Geek.”  Wendy Swire wants to teach us how to rewire our brains to create laser-focused results as we move from “Saboteur” to “Sage Brain” thinking. Everyone knows the health benefits of having disciplined, positive habits or routines.  For instance, physical fitness, spiritual prayer – worship – meditation,  time with loved ones… but what about mental fitness? Science has now proven we can train our cognitive muscles to avoid, block, or more quickly recover from negative attacks within our brain.  Everyone has them.  We are actually wired to be negative as part of our survival instincts.  However, we are NOT wired to endure the constant onslaught of manipulative media and/or wounded people that pester us with negative messages thousands of times daily.  (If we allow them to…) Learn more about yourself on this podcast, and visit our Manage 2 Win page on Wendy's site to take a free 5-minute assessment.  Join this conversation to get glimpse on how you can be stronger, even a superpower, by growing positive neural connections to the 10 attributes of your positive “Sage Brain.”  Stop the “saboteurs” and negativity committee's attacks.  Recover more quickly. This is great stuff. Our guest, Wendy Swire, is the founder of Swire Solutions.  She is a global executive coach, author, applied neuroscience consultant, Founder of the DC Neuroleadership Group, and certified mental fitness coach.  Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Manage2Win ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

Carey Smith grew Big Ass Fans from zero to $300 million over 18 years without outside investors.  He shares key parts of his story on this podcast. It's interesting to note that when he sold Big Ass Fans for $500 million, the company's stock appreciation rights program paid out $50 million to more than 100 loyal employees who shared Carey's work ethic with 15 becoming overnight millionaires. Every year, American entrepreneurs start more than 500,000 companies, but only 200 will ever reach $100 million in revenue.  Even many that succeed will later fail. One valuable tip from Carey is that he personally called each new customer to hear first-hand what they liked about their Big Ass Fan, and more importantly, learn what they thought could be improved.  Why did he do that? Because Carey believes in a “fail-fast” approach to drive revenue quickly.  He learned a valuable lesson that you can usually tell within a short time if an idea's going to work.  If it doesn't, then make the conscious decision to fail fast.  Carey tells his employees, “If you're not making mistakes, you're not working.”  Growth comes only from taking risks. Before Big Ass Fans, Carey spent more than a decade trying to grow another company, but its annual sales never rose above $1.4 million.  Carey admits he ignored warning signs and thought he should persevere a bit longer. Today, Carey leads Unorthodox Ventures, an Austin-based investment company he founded to provide everything venture capitalists lacked when they approached him near daily at Big Ass Fans.  Carey's team consists of experts who help founders become serial entrepreneurs by providing support for everything from engineering and marketing to customer service and logistics. Join this conversation to become introduced into Carey's success model.

Have you posted a YouTube video that has 1.4 million views?  Peter Anderton has (here).  It's on his two rules of great leadership.  The popularity of this post demands us to consider it. David interviews Peter about leadership, well beyond his TED talk, "Great Leadership Comes Down to Only Two Rules."  Do you have leaders complaining about their people?  How do you get your team pulling together and heading fully focused in the right direction so amazing things happen? Peter suggests we build beliefs about people, products, systems, situations…  These beliefs, often based on assumptions, can lead us to make disastrous decisions.  We lack clarity on truth, but feel we have complete understanding.  Oops.  Wrong approach. Peter Anderton is the Founder of Internal Alignment, where he helps leaders build processes so they can 10x their companies from inside out.  He and his team have worked with hundreds of companies, including giants like Jaguar Land Rover, 3M, Atkins, HSBC Holdings, Michels & Taylor, and Huntsman.  Their programs typically deliver 1000%+ ROI. Peter shares the single biggest predictor of consistently high-performing teams.  Join us for this and many other insights on how you can be your best.

Some consultants and leaders use diversity to divide.  Dr. Lauren Tucker believes another approach is more effective:  Focus on inclusion.    Dr. Tucker is the Founder and CEO of Do What Matters.  She is an entrepreneur who works with other entrepreneurs.  She talks candidly with David about how traditional diversity efforts often hurt the very people they are intended to help, and good intentions have not led to sustainable impact.   Dr. Tucker believes inclusion means all your employees feel invested in the mission of your company and success of the work.  One challenge is to achieve a win-win where diversity is a solution, not a problem to be fixed.  But if you want to go for inclusion, how do you build on your company's strengths with a strategy that reduces cultural resistance to change, and enables you to achieve sustainable inclusion and representation goals faster?  It's not easy, but it is doable.  Part of the problem is the toxic media and political environment today that seeks to divide people by fear.  Join David and Dr. Tucker as they discuss how inclusion efforts fail and succeed in your company.  Spotify  Apple Podcast  Google Podcast  Manage2Win   ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

Today's guest, Sam Citro Alexander, is an admitted Food Lover and Nutrition Nerd who's bitewell team is on a mission to make healthy eating easy, convenient, and accessible for all. Sam and her team says they tried about 1,000 different food and nutrition apps, but concluded none helped people eat well.  Instead, most healthy eating platforms focus on cooking and preparation although the average American only cooks 1 meal a day. Food is part of the fuel for your employee performance.  Companies have varying degrees of support for employees on mental health, physical health, emotional health… but most Americans fail to consider how their diet affects their personal and professional lives. Bitewell is an app that captures how we really eat.  Our snacks, the food we order out, our iced lattes, what we cook…  Why track it?  Because this enables us to consider making small changes to WHAT we eat and tracking how it affects us. Join this conversation to hear how Samantha Citro Alexander decided to leave her exciting role as the Chief of Staff to Jane Lauder at Clinique, NYC, part of The Estée Lauder Companies to start bitewell.  She has also been the Director of Integrated Marketing (Smashbox, LA), where she co-created Jefacon, a women's empowerment and leadership summit celebrating the Beauty of Being a Boss. Why leave her high profile job at Clinique for the entrepreneurial grind?  What has she learned?  Join this fun, energetic, informative discussion to find out.

On the slopes of Colorado, Shea Gerhardt's ears hurt from wearing typical earbuds for hours.  Ouch!  There has to be a better way…  and Buderflys research began. But why leave two decades as a high-paid executive in the mobile, gaming, and music industries?  Shea had worked with Universal, Sony, EMI, and Warner Bros., as well as VZW, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Vodafone. The reason is other earbud designs are flawed.  The human ear canal moves as we move, and thus hard plastic, inflexible Apple EarPod / AirPod-like designs not only fall out, they can hurt when wore for long periods of time.   But how can Shea and her team develop a clear and focused path to cut through the noise of a crowded market overpopulated with stale product designs?  How can they flip it so better, user-centric products are king even though massive corporate conglomerates and Chinese knockoffs saturate the market?  Shea believes in doing things right.  She couldn't standby and just accept the status quo when better is possible.  It took four years of innovation, creativity, and grit for her team to perfect the design of high-end, premium-sounding Buderflys made with a proprietary, innovative squishy material that flexes with the ear's movement as we talk, chew, and exercise.  You can wear Buderflys for hours as you enjoy a crisp and clear sound.  (David checked:  The reviews on the microphone are positive too!) Join this podcast to hear Shea's candid story.  It's fun, inspiring, and insightful.  Who knows?  Maybe Shea's insights might help you create the next Goliath-killer product or service.  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/41rIZOQ...

For more than 20 years, Gustavo Razzetti of Fearless Culture has helped teams do the best work of their lives.  Most organizations don't lack ideas, talent, or resources.  Instead, leaders lack a conducive culture where employees are encouraged to collaborate, take initiative and experiment beyond perceived limitations.

Does that sound too touchy-feely for you?  Too bad if it does, because you cannot argue with Ari's results.  He's an overcomer. Ari is CEO and co-founding partner of Zingerman's Community of Businesses a collection of Zingerman's businesses.  He and his partner started as a 1,300 retail delicatessen.  Now their businesses are approaching $75 million in revenue, each with its own food specialty, all located in the Ann Arbor area.  Each business group strives to make the shopping, taste, and relational experience of Zingerman's the most flavorful and enjoyable interactions of your day. C'mon, couldn't your business use a little anarchy to shake things up and rocket past your next growth objective?  Tune-in to get a glimpse of Ari's mastery.

Work smarter, not harder.  Are you ready for this challenge? Jon Darbyshire believes a shared vision of “helping teams be more productive by working smarter” enriches culture, promotes accountability, and empowers collaboration through automation.   In 2021, Jon Darbyshire and his team launched SmartSuite, a work management platform that manages any process, from any industry, on one platform.  This podcast is different for David, our host, because he chose to ask questions about SmartSuite to confirm how well it aligns with his own best practices.  This is not a product demo or pitch.  The conversation weaves Jon's experience with David 50 years in business.  Although the framework of the conversation is SmartSuite, Jon and David discuss many of the best practices they have learned through their decades of experience and hundreds of companies they have helped. Jon has invested in over 400 startups, and it has been a learning process.  David has advised over 1,000 organizations through his consulting and workshops.  What makes one startup overcome its challenges whereas another stumbles or fails?  Prior to SmartSuite, Jon ran the Archer Foundation. The mission of the foundation is to advance entrepreneurial achievement, extend the reach of community service programs, and foster educational opportunities for students and single mothers.  Prior to that, he was CEO & Founder of Archer Technologies, and held leadership positions at Ernst Young and Price Waterhouse.

Many leaders want employees who are a good cultural fit for their company, but few take the time to establish a culture of psychological safety for employees. Chuck Mollor emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership so you can have proactive employees who fully embrace your culture, and you provide them the psychological safety they need to thrive in your organization.

In this episode, Chuck explains how to put relationships first, while still delivering excellence as a rapidly growing organization.  He describes how his best practices have helped leaders just like you advance to their “next level.”  How?  By simplifying the complexities of modern leadership and creating a culture reflective of your organization's purpose, vision, and values.

“It took me 28 years to realize that I needed to change my life, that my leadership skills were no longer enough,” Tom Hardison explained to our audience. His role at Hewlett Packard had changed and his youngest son had decided to drop out of school.  His very fulfilling life and successful career had diverted onto a rocky road with difficult to navigate potholes.  Things were not working as easily as before.  Tom knew he must make changes, but where?  One of the first mistakes he identified was the fact he was not really listening to his son or his wife, and fully considering what they had to say.  To breakthrough his challenges required a new set of leadership skills that would allow him to resolve new, or previously overlooked, complexities in his life.  This was true even though as an engineer, he had very strong analytical and problem-solving skills. But how to change? Tom was caught in a system of processing information and making decisions that blocked him from receiving and evaluating critical data, and fully engaging with people whom he cared most about -  personally and professionally.  This significantly limited his ability to resolve problems.  One symptom he identified was that when he was stuck, he made his strengths into "giants" that got in the way of everything he tried to do.  For instance, he was driver, but under this intense pressure, he drove his people too hard.  This hurt his relationships with others and the stress he caused limited their ability to resolve issues. To get unstuck, he decided to try watching and listening more, and asking more questions.  This led Tom to develop a new system of leadership to overcome the stressful challenges facing him.  He calls this approach, generative leadership.  Are you stuck?  Could you be less stressed?  Do any members of your leadership team struggle in these areas?  If so, join us to hear Tom's story and solution.  Spotify Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Manage2Win ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

We have been told that, "Your personal life stays at home."  But seasoned leaders know this is fable, not fact.  For some, this lesson is learned when their personal lives (including our past traumas) directly, but unconsciously affect their workflow as entrepreneurs.  Have you seen someone's personal habits spillover into the workplace, or experienced it yourself?  For instance:  Have you ever felt guilty for eating your lunch rather than just working nonstop?   Do you struggle to lead a team because you want to avoid confrontation, or it is more comfortable to make assumptions rather than communicate more and get ahead of your people and lead?   In this episode with Vena Sterling, we talk about how she has discovered the importance of recognizing these factors and working on them.  Vena explains life doesn't get better just by becoming a great entrepreneur, it vastly improves when you learn to develop the skills that give you freedom.  Vena learned her lessons the hard way.  She was very successful as a real estate attorney for big commercial firms in New York and Florida.  But she had to stop when her over-the-top work ethic led to burnout.  Only then did she learn the power of teamwork, and choose to dedicate her career to helping women leaders avoid her prior bad habits.  Vena Sterling is an ICF-certified executive coach and strategic advisor who empowers entrepreneurs to build high-performing teams that create more wealth, legacy and freedom. She specializes in working with women founders and CEOs who are committed to achieving their version of having it all.   Vena has 20+ years of experience in the legal, corporate, and higher-education sectors with a focus on wellness, culture transformation, and leading remote and hybrid teams.  Prior to pursuing her calling as a coach and consultant, Vena graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and practiced commercial real estate law with large firms in New York and South Florida.   Listen in to learn how to create strategies to avoid burnout and maximize how your team is working together!   Spotify  Apple Podcasts  Google Podcasts  Manage2Win    -------   This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.  I started developing Habitly content in 2004.  Habitly's powerful best practices have now been taught to thousands of people worldwide.  For instance, you can learn how to Create time in your day;  Get more from meetings;  Stay calm;  Achieve significant targets;  and Become a great leader.  Simply study and apply the expert knowledge provided in Habitly courses and micro-learning episodes.   Whether you're just out of college, or someone with over 20 years work experience, learn the habits of highly successful people on Habitly.    Test drive Habitly for 7 days on us!  This includes full access to the entire Habitly knowledgebase – www.habitly.com.

While serving in the U.S. Army Rangers, he had a training accident which broke his neck. After overcoming his injury, he became the co-founder of a unique jewelry entrepreneurship.  Andrew Wolgemuth grew up in the jewelry business with two entrepreneurial parents who started a small jewelry shop when he was a child. Living above the store for most of his childhood Andrew was immersed in the industry.  He is currently the Founder and CEO of Wove. He previously served as a Platoon Leader and Deputy Commander in the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, leading a team of 40 Special Operators in unconventional environments around the World.  Andrew started Wove while serving in the U.S. Army Rangers by sending realistic replicas to his friends overseas who were looking to purchase a ring while on deployment. This was the start of the Wove custom design process and home-try-on replica experience.  Would you send a multi-thousand-dollar engagement ring across the world?   This was the question for many of the men serving who wished to propose. Andrew saw the opportunity to help these people while using the knowledge his family business had given him.   This is a great story on resourcefulness, ingenuity and overcoming the difficult challenges life throws at us.   Join David as he takes the journey through Andrew's life and successful business.  Listen to the podcast on:   Spotify  Apple Podcasts  Google Podcasts  Manage2Win  -------   This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.  I started developing Habitly content in 2004.  Habitly's powerful best practices have now been taught to thousands of people worldwide.  For instance, you can learn how to Create time in your day;  Get more from meetings;  Stay calm;  Achieve significant targets;  and Become a great leader.  Simply study and apply the expert knowledge provided in Habitly courses and micro-learning episodes.   Whether you're just out of college, or someone with over 20 years work experience, learn the habits of highly successful people on Habitly.    First 7 days free, including access to the entire Habitly knowledgebase – www.habitly.com.
