THINK Business with Jon Dwoskin

I sat down with Ranya Nehmeh, HR strategist, professor, and author of In Praise of the Office. Our conversation reinforced what I've been hearing from many clients lately. HR today isn't just policies or processes. -It's culture. -It's learning. -It's how people actually develop in a distributed world. HR is a strategy now -Culture, development, and psychological safety—all part of the role. The hybrid has to be designed -Onboarding, mentoring, and collaboration don't happen by default. If people come in only to sit on Zoom, something's off. Leaders set the tone -Presence, learning, and collaboration follow what leaders model. When work is designed with care, people feel it. And when people feel it, they show up differently. And that's where great work starts— and where retention improves as people choose to stay. --- Dr. Ranya Nehmeh is a people and talent management expert, future of work advocate, author, and adjunct university professor. With over 20 years of experience across both the private and public sectors, she has worked at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and human capital. Ranya began her career at a public relations speaker bureau in London before joining a global telecommunications company. She then moved into senior HR roles within international financial institutions, including the European Central Bank in Frankfurt and the OPEC Fund for International Development in Vienna. She has led projects related to talent management, internal talent marketplaces, strategic workforce planning, and leadership development, among other initiatives. She is the co-author of In Praise of the Office: The Limits to Hybrid and Remote Work (Wharton School Press, 2025) and author of The CHAMELEON Leader: Connecting with Millennials (2019). Her work explores how organizations can create more human-centered, agile, and sustainable workplaces. Ranya is also a frequent contributor to leading journals and publications. Her most recent articles appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Hybrid Still Isn't Working (July/August 2025), HR's New Role (May/June 2024), and It's Time To Do Away with "Dry Promotions" (July 2024) Connect with Jon Dwoskin: Twitter: @jdwoskin Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonathan.dwoskin Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejondwoskinexperience/ Website: https://jondwoskin.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jondwoskin/ Email: jon@jondwoskin.com Get Jon's Book: The Think Big Movement: Grow your business big.

Always Be Prospecting Today on THINK Business, I sat down with Gabe Lullo, CEO of Alio, a company that makes 11 million cold calls a year. Yes, 11 million. We dug into something every business needs to hear: Momentum is not a strategy. Prospecting is. Too many teams slow down once the pipeline gets full. They rely on inbound. They wait. They hope. Whether business is good, bad, or booming, the companies that keep hunting stay relevant, stay sharp, and stay growing. We also talked first impressions, SDR training, the power of simple questions, and why the best salespeople never sound "salesy"—they sound human. AI is accelerating the game, no doubt. But one thing still separates leaders from laggards: Pick. Up. The. Phone. People are getting fewer calls today because everyone else is afraid to make them. That's an advantage for anyone willing to act. 3 Takeaways for Your Business Outbound is not optional. First impressions fuel conversions. The phone is your unfair advantage. People buy from people. A call breaks through the noise faster than any email sequence ever will. --- Gabe Lullo's expertise in sales, marketing, recruiting, and management began when he started his own business after graduation from the Barney School of Business at the University of Hartford. He owned and operated his own sales, training, and marketing firm for more than a decade. Gabe excelled in training sales and marketing professionals, and additionally, has had a successful career in executive recruiting. Gabe has been instrumental in expanding the company's search and placement for IT, Software Development, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Executive leaders. Gabe's most recent success has been with us here at Alleyoop. For many years, he has been working to build and grow the company by focusing on its culture, environment, customer success, and sales.

Following Your Talent: A Conversation with Duke Photographer Charlie Cooper Most people know their talent long before they have the courage to follow it. Charlie Cooper — Duke sophomore, award-winning photographer, documentary storyteller, and co-founder of Rising Stars of Africa — is already doing both. In this episode, Charlie shares how he discovered his gift at 13, how he's choosing his own path instead of the traditional one, and why following your talent matters more than ever. 3 Takeaways: Your calling shows up early — pay attention to what energizes you.

Enjoyed learning from Tony Konja of Artistic Outdoor Services, alongside Jeff Gunsberg. A few moments that stood out to me: Self-awareness beats a perfect plan. Tony didn't choose an industry—he leaned into his strengths. One truck turned into 25 by doing the basics well. The right mentor opens doors. Guidance matters. Access changes everything. Follow-up builds trust. Simple communication. Fast response. Do what you say. Great businesses aren't built by doing everything. They're built by doing the right things—consistently.

When was the last time you followed up with a client or prospect? Most people stop after one message. The pros don't—because follow-up builds trust, not pressure. Here are my 3 takeaways from my Think Business + Sales conversation with Leon Mallett, Marketer at Title Connect

How often do you pause to thank someone — really thank them — for making your day better? I sat down with Ekaterina Gorbacheva, Head of Global Expansion at FlowWow, a marketplace helping local shops deliver gifts, flowers, and pastries across 40 countries. We talked gratitude, culture, and scaling globally. Here are my 3 takeaways: 1. Know your market. Localization isn't translation — it's understanding people, culture, timing, and trust. 2. Gratitude drives business. A simple thank-you or small gesture can strengthen relationships at every level. 3. Growth starts with awareness. Before you scale, educate your market and connect your mission to real human needs. --- Ekaterina Gorbacheva is leading global expansion at Flowwow. She leads Flowwow's international growth initiatives, operational excellence, and market entry strategies in key regions, including the UAE, Spain, Turkey, and the UK.

What risk are you underestimating right now? On this Think Business episode with Dan Eyman, CEO and Managing Director of MELD Valuation, we dive deep into how to think smarter about risk, data, and gut instinct. Dan's firm specializes in independent, audit-ready valuations for venture-backed startups and VC firms. What stood out most from our conversation:

What are you doing right now with AI to grow your business, master the tools, and boost productivity, creativity, and results? I sat down with Mike Tadasco — Visiting Fellow teaching AI at SDSU and former Head of Innovation at PayPal — to unpack:

What's Your Next Winning Shot—in Pickleball and Business? Pickleball is booming — and so is Ace Pickleball Club, led by Adam Lutz and Matt Sosin in Bloomfield Hills and Grand Rapids. What began as a real estate opportunity turned into a business built on community, vision, and execution. Three Highlights from Adam and Matt:

Jeff Gunsberg and I sat down with serial entrepreneur Steven Haddad—and the conversation went way deeper than business. Here are 3 takeaways that stuck: 1 - Build from demand, not ego. Steven's foundation was simple: listen first, then build. The most durable businesses aren't dreamed up—they're requested. 2- Work ethic beats pedigree. Every time. From mopping floors at seven to leading multiple companies, nothing replaced showing up early, staying late, and doing the work others won't. 3 -Bet on people before numbers. Fast returns are tempting. Builders are rare. Every lesson—good or painful—came down to who was in the room. And at the center of it all was his dad, Sam—who built from nothing and passed down one rule that still drives everything: You don't have to be smarter than everyone… but you can outwork anyone. That's not just advice. That's a blueprint.

Are you falling behind—or getting 10X more productive—with AI? Kevin Surace, the father of the virtual assistant and AI futurist. Here are my 5 biggest takeaways: ✅ If you're not AI-first, someone who is will replace you ✅ AI isn't a tool — it's a workflow multiplier ✅ Productivity is now 10X minimum, not 10% better ✅ Your voice still matters — edit AI, don't fear it ✅ The winners?

What Does Your Legacy Really Mean? When you hear the word legacy, what comes to mind? A name on a building? A foundation created after you're gone? Or something far simpler — the way you show up every day and the impact you quietly leave behind? I sat down with Kari Alterman, founder of Good Name Advisors, to explore how each of us can shape our legacy with intention — starting now, not someday. Kari helps individuals and families clarify their values, elevate their giving, and preserve their good name through thoughtful, lasting philanthropy. What struck me most in our conversation is that legacy isn't about wealth or waiting until the end of life. It's about how you treat people, where you choose to give, and how you align your actions with your values today. My Take Too many people wait to think about their legacy. They assume it starts with money or ends with a big gesture. Kari reframed this for us: legacy is built moment by moment — through kindness, intention, and generosity that matches who you are. Whether you give $5,000, $50, or just your time, what matters most is purpose and INTENT.

How does a modern CEO lead a global, hybrid workforce while staying connected to every employee? I recently sat down with Kevin Akeroyd, CEO of Sovos, a tax and compliance specialist for Fortune 500 companies. Kevin shared practical, clear insights on leadership, growth, and retention. Here are five that stood out:

What would it look like if you truly lived with intention—optimizing your health, energy, and focus to be your best again? Think BIG Community: I had a great conversation with Dr. Tracy Gapin, health and longevity expert, founder of the Gapin Institute, and creator of Peak Launch. We talked about what it really takes to get back to peak performance—and stay there. Here are 5 takeaways that stood out to me: 1️⃣ Sleep is your superpower. It's where recovery, growth, and memory consolidation happen. Skip it, and you miss the foundation of health and performance. 2️⃣ Even tiny changes move the needle. Don't aim for perfection—aim for progress. One less drink. One better choice. One percent better every day compounds into transformation. 3️⃣ Mindset matters. Journaling, gratitude, and mindfulness (like box breathing) aren't "woo"—they're science-backed tools that calm your nervous system and sharpen focus. 4️⃣ Habits beat hacks. The sexy biohacks (peptides, wearables, etc.) mean little if you ignore fundamentals like sleep, nutrition, stress management, and intentional routines. 5️⃣ Live with intention. Time-block your calendar. Plan your day. Set your environment up to win. Don't rely on willpower—rely on structure.

What's one challenge in your life right now that could spark a business idea if you acted on it? On Think Business, I spoke with Nicole Daher, CEO and founder of Success on the Spectrum (SOS)—the first autism treatment franchise in the U.S. Nicole's journey began with a deeply personal challenge. When her daughter was diagnosed with autism, she searched Houston for treatment options. What she found were long waitlists and not enough clinics to meet the demand. Instead of waiting, Nicole acted. In 2015, she opened her first clinic. Today, SOS has grown into 76 franchises, changing lives across the country. Here are a few takeaways from Nicole's journey:

On this Think Business episode of What Are You Good At?, Jeff Gunsberg and I sat down with Todd Hawley, Senior VP at Friedman Real Estate, who's been with the same company for 30+ years. Three Takeaways from our talk: 1. Early Career: Be a Student Pick your focus, learn your product, ask questions, and show up even when you don't feel like it. 2. Mid/Late Career: Break Your Plateaus Reflect daily, refine your process, and reinvent yourself before the market forces you to. 3. Always: Put the Client First Tell the truth, even when it costs you. Trust is the engine of your entire career. Success isn't loud, it's the quiet discipline repeated daily.

I sat down with Jack Miller, Southeast Michigan President at Hylant, and we went deep on the habits that compound in sports and business. 5 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Fundamentals beat flash: Talent is gravy, consistency is the meal. 2️⃣ Culture makes consistency possible: Tools, feedback, celebration, fun. 3️⃣ Control the controllable: Prepare so deeply performance feels automatic. 4️⃣ Sell inside the building as much as you sell outside. 5️⃣ Pressure is a privilege: Fall in love with the process. If you're leading a team (or your own career), this episode will sharpen your edge. -------- Following a successful football career and graduation from the University of Michigan, Jack Miller joined Hylant as an insurance producer, specializing in complex disability programs for the college and professional sports industry. He quickly rose to a leadership position within the company, embracing Hylant's mission to treat clients and employees like family—with honesty, respect and trust.

Her practice also extends across the full spectrum of business litigation matters, where she leverages the firm's cross-disciplinary capabilities and resources to supplement her efforts on behalf of clients spanning multiple industries. Tough but reasonable, she is as adept at obtaining early resolutions of disputes as she is at securing verdicts in her clients' favor. Appreciating the internal pressures and priorities her institutional clients face, Deb is committed to transparent communication, thoughtful efficiency, and strong, collaborative working relationships. She makes the litigation experience less stressful and taxing for clients, who appreciate her clear expectation-setting and personable counseling style. Deb enjoys speaking and blogging on topics relevant to her practice and clients and regularly presents continuing legal education courses to her colleagues.

Owen Garitty founded FPW Media in 2013 for a reason–to dismantle the extrinsic nature of a traditional marketing agency and forge a path for an innovative, fresh, and transformative creative vision. Today, that vision remains with FPW's three connective divisions: brand, films, and merchandise, which design and implement client services entirely in-house, effectively cutting out the potential for misinterpretation of any client's message or goals. FPW was founded as an "unagency"–a concept pioneered by Garitty that prioritizes a client-first outlook, meaning clients' visions come to life organically through unconventional but efficacious processes. Garitty has had an aptitude for photography since the age of ten when he got his first camera–a Pentax 35mm–and has since amassed over 15 years of photographic experience. He won his first photography award at thirteen, began working professionally at fifteen, and went on to pursue a career in visual storytelling that grew to encompass design, marketing, and creative direction. In a lifelong pursuit of creating compelling visual narratives, Garitty's passion lies in garnering brand recognition for his clients with impactful visuals and stimulating design. His profound understanding of the millennial zeitgeist makes him an invaluable asset in a new media landscape. Today, Garitty oversees brand vision and implementation for privately and publicly traded companies. He cultivates ongoing partnerships with a host of companies, ranging in specialty from large-scale manufacturers to apparel, agriculture, and heavy industrial equipment. He remains present and hands-on: clients have his personal cell phone number and can trust that Garitty is carefully guiding the creative direction of their project. In 2018, Garitty directed the award-winning and critically acclaimed film, Lionhearted, which elevates veterans' combat stories. The film focuses on the post-war lives of veterans, emphasizing the need for a sustained platform through which they can relay their experiences. The film's moving visuals, made up of interviews juxtaposed with combat footage, highlight the profound and moving realities of many of our nation's heroes. Garitty's passion for vivid visual storytelling continues to emanate from the page, screen, or billboard–venturing beyond the ordinary and garnering clients the recognition they want by involving viewers in the narrative. As someone who values place and community, Garitty ensures that FPW is regularly involved in projects with local organizations such as nonprofits, government agencies, and educational institutions. When he isn't at the office, Garitty can be found boxing, enjoying craft coffee, or gardening organic fruits and vegetables.

On this episode of What Are You Good At (a THINK Business & Sales series)… Jeff Gunsberg and I sat down with Henry King, author of Autonomous: Why the Fittest Businesses Embrace AI for Strategies and Digital Labor, for one of the most eye-opening AI conversations we've had on the show. Henry has spent years inside Accenture, Salesforce, and the consulting world — giving him a rare lens on how fast business is changing and what leaders must prepare for next. We talked about: Why the last 3–6 months of AI adoption have moved faster than the last few years. Why most people are still using ChatGPT like Google, and what that's costing them. Why the companies that win will be the ones bold enough to rethink everything: org charts, workflows, roles, and the relationship between humans and machines. And Henry breaks down exactly why we're about to see AI as digital colleagues, not just productivity tools. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Generative AI is not the finish line, it's the warm-up. The real disruption is agentic AI that performs work, makes decisions, and becomes part of the workforce. 2. The human advantage is shifting. We win with curiosity, imagination, empathy, and better questions, not effort or years of experience. 3. Leaders must design for movement, not stability. The dust isn't settling. The organizations that thrive will be the ones built for flexibility, experimentation, and constant reinvention. --- Henry King Innovation Strategist and Advisor | Co-author of best-selling books BOUNDLESS and AUTONOMOUS | ex-Salesforce, Deloitte Consulting, Accenture Leader in Innovation, Transformation and Technology. 30+ years experience helping companies meet their growth and transformation goals, both in the US and internationally, with expertise in i) Innovation Strategy and Management, ii) Digital Transformation, iii) Information Technology Leadership, Strategy, and Full Lifecycle Management iv)Thought Leadership, Writing and Teaching Co-author of the best selling book ""Boundless: A New Mindset for Unlimited Business Success"".

How much business are you losing simply because you're not staying in consistent contact with your audience? Most companies don't have a sales problem—they have a follow-up problem. And follow-up isn't about chasing people…it's about staying top of mind with value, relevance, and consistency. That's why my interview with Smita Wadhawan, CMO of Constant Contact, on the THINK Business – What Are You Good At? series hit on a hard truth—consistency is the new marketing advantage. Here are 5 takeaways that stood out: ✅ Mindshare → Market Share People can't buy from you if they forget you exist. Marketing isn't optional—it's oxygen. ✅ Consistency builds trust Trust isn't built in a moment—it's built in the follow-up moments people rarely do. ✅ Simple wins Customers don't want clever. They want clear. They want fast. They want relevant. ✅ Start now—then scale Stop overthinking platforms, funnels, or brand perfection. Start small. Ship. Learn. Improve. ✅ AI is here to help, not replace Use AI to automate repetitive work—so you can stay human where it matters most.   Smita Wadhawan Verma Global Chief Marketing Officer | Top 50 CMO | PayPal | Intuit | GoDaddy | Visa | SaaS | HealthTech | FinTech Award-winning Chief Marketing Officer with experience at GoDaddy, PayPal, Intuit, VISA, and SimplePractice — across SMB/consumer, SaaS, HealthTech, and FinTech.

Marisa Murgatroyd started her career as an artist who was told by her father that she had no marketable skills. Marisa figured out how to build a multi-million business anyway and has shown over 16,000 students how to succeed online — many of whom also felt like they had "no marketable skills" or were told they couldn't do it. As the founder of Live Your Message & Creator of The Experience Formula, Marisa gets people so excited about changing their lives that they stop dreaming and start doing. She does this by creating what she call "Experience Products" (instead of more traditional online courses and information-based products). An Experience Product is an entirely new framework for creating online courses that combines the most powerful elements of gamification, behavioral design, adult learning psychology, and innovative curriculum design to create an engaging experience that gets people "hooked" on taking action and getting results. This approach is so effective that they have some of the highest success rates in the industry!

Chef Marci Schienbaum turned her passion for cooking into a thriving business that brings people together around the table. Here are 3 powerful takeaways from her journey on today's Think Business Series – What Are You Good At? with my co-host Jeff Gunsberg: 1️⃣ Reinvention is always possible. At 55, she shifted from sales to cooking full-time—and at 60, she runs a business on her terms. 2️⃣ Stay calm in the chaos. From forgotten ingredients to high-pressure dinner parties, her even temperament helps her adapt and thrive. 3️⃣ Share what you're good at. People need your gifts—whether it's cooking, sales, leadership, or mentoring. Marci reminds us that success isn't just about what you do—it's about the relationships you build, the memories you create, and the impact you leave behind.
