Avoiding difficult conversations with employees can feel like the kind thing to do, especially when you genuinely care about the people on your team.You tell yourself you'll address it next week. You drop a few hints. Maybe they have a really good day and you start wondering if the problem is fixing itself.But while you're waiting, the cost of that conversation doesn't disappear. It just moves somewhere else.In this episode, I'm sharing the story of a founder who was dealing with employee performance issues involving someone she genuinely valued. She thought she'd been giving feedback, but nothing was changing. Meanwhile, she was carrying the frustration, other team members were picking up the slack, and resentment was starting to build. That's one of the hidden costs of avoiding difficult conversations. What starts as a problem with one person can begin affecting your time, your clients, your strongest employees and the culture you're trying to build.We'll talk about the difference between dropping hints and creating real clarity, why fear of conflict can make holding employees accountable feel so uncomfortable, and a simple way to approach difficult conversations with employees without becoming cold or confrontational.Because leadership skills aren't about never finding these conversations difficult. They're about developing the confidence to have them anyway.If avoiding difficult conversations is keeping you stuck in unresolved people problems, this is exactly the kind of leadership work we do inside the Accelerator for Female Founders.

Laura Padilla, senior vice president of global partners and alliances at Okta Okta is rebuilding its partner program from the ground up. Speaking to In The Channel at Oktane 2026 in Las Vegas the day after the event’s Partner Day, Laura Padilla, head of partners at Okta, confirmed the company has unveiled the Okta Partner Accelerator, a re-architecture of its Elevate program that goes live in early 2027. The headline change is structure. Where Elevate leaned on revenue and transactions, the Accelerator offers three tracks – sales, services, and technology – that partners can join individually or in combination, with a referral option available across all three. MSPs and MSSPs land in the services track, which will now distinguish between different types of service offerings. Each track has three tiers – membership, advanced, and elite – and gating varies by track: net new logos for sales, deployments, go-lives, and CSAT for services, integrations for technology. Most current Apex partners will be grandfathered into elite, Padilla said, though some will map into the middle tier. The philosophy shift runs deeper. Elite-tier status will require a customer experience process, as Okta weights retention, adoption, and churn alongside acquisition. Okta is also expanding its services priming motion – previously applied to deals over $100,000 – to every deal, with account executives required to engage a specialized services partner early in the cycle, and new-logo and deployment incentives added. Padilla cited 2-3x services revenue on top of license for partners attaching governance, Auth0, and AI. On agentic AI, Padilla pointed to the Blueprint Alliance – which Okta formed with AWS, CrowdStrike, Google Cloud, Salesforce, and ServiceNow to standardize AI agent security – as a coming delivery opportunity, with a partner certification and specialization rolling out shortly, and agent registry and kill switch capabilities demoed on the keynote stage. Read Full Transcript Robert Dutt: Hello and welcome to In The Channel from ChannelBuzz.ca, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel community for the last 16 years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca, and your host for the show. My guest today came to the top job at Okta’s partner organization earlier this year, and spent her first seven months doing what good channel chiefs do: listening. What she heard was that Okta’s Elevate program was forcing partners of very different shapes – resellers, MSPs, boutiques, global SIs – through the same revenue-shaped keyhole. So last week at Oktane in Las Vegas, on its Partner Day, Okta unveiled its answer: the Okta Partner Accelerator, a rebuilt program with three distinct tracks, new customer outcome metrics, and a much bigger bet on partners delivering – and profiting from – professional services. We also get into the Blueprint Alliance, securing AI agents, and where she sees the biggest untapped opportunities in identity. Let’s get right into it, my chat with Laura Padilla. Robert Dutt: Laura, thanks for taking the time. I’m sure it’s been a busy week. Laura Padilla: Thank you so much for having me, Robert. I’m excited to talk to you today. Robert Dutt: Yesterday was Partner Day here at Oktane. Can you give me the elevator pitch? What was the message? What were you taking to partners for that? Laura Padilla: There has never been a better time to be an Okta partner than there is now. The company is all in on supporting our partners to really take us to the five and ten billion dollar level. We know we will not scale without partners. And so we announced several investments in areas where we’re going to support partners even further next year. The first is we announced our new partner program, called the Okta Partner Accelerator. What we’ve done is re-architected our previous program, Elevate, to align closer with the way that partners have their businesses and their business models. There are three distinct tracks now: you can be in the sales track, the services track, or the technology track – or you can be in two or three of those; you don’t have to just be in one. What this does is allow us to support partners even better in the way that they want to do business with us and our customers. We know that partners want to support our customers in different ways, and we felt that the previous program didn’t allow us to go to that next level of depth in supporting partners through enablement and programs and demand gen, in the ways they wanted to approach our customers. Robert Dutt: So that’s the individual level, it sounds like, the sales, services, that kind of split. Is there any recognition of a split for reseller versus managed services type partner, versus folks who influence a deal but don’t necessarily take paper themselves? Laura Padilla: We have a referral track across all three. So if a partner wants to just refer a deal in, they could actually even be a sales partner and just send in the referral if they don’t want to paper it. Referral is for all three tracks; anybody can refer a deal in. In regards to MSSP or MSP partners, that would be part of the services track. We are going to start distinguishing within the services track the different types of services that partners may offer our customers as well. Robert Dutt: What’s the timeline for the rollout of the new program? Laura Padilla: Early next year. We announced it yesterday, so that gives us six months to further define it and also grandfather partners into the right level, and give partners a timeframe to be able to get into the tier that they want. There’ll be three different tiers within each track: the membership tier, the basic entry tier; kind of an advanced or specialized tier; then an elite tier. Just three different levels within each track. Robert Dutt: And what’s the gating there? Is it revenue? Is it certifications, specializations? How does one move up? Laura Padilla: It varies by the track, which is why we split them out. Sales will be heavily weighted towards sales revenue – net new logos, also just book of business, growth of the book of business. We’re also going to focus on our different product sets, as well as competency and skill set. The services track will be heavily weighted on customer deployments, specializations, go lives, CSAT and delivery – those will be the main things we’ll be looking at, and revenue and the book of business that they’re supporting in delivery as well. And the technology track, we’ll be focusing on integrations and working with things that matter to us, like Cross App Access. Robert Dutt: Have you done any modeling on where your current partners are and where that projects to? Any feeling for how the tiers are going to shake out – current tier versus future tier? Laura Padilla: We do have preliminary mappings. A good majority of our Apex partners today in our current program would probably align into our new elite level. Some might even fall into the second tier, because we do have three distinct different categories of what we’re looking at to reach the elite level. But the majority of partners that are Apex will probably be able to be grandfathered into the elite level of the new track. Robert Dutt: I imagine this has been the big project of your first seven months or so at Okta. It must feel good to get it out there in front of the partners. What’s the early feedback been from the folks you’re talking to? What have the questions been? What’s the commentary been? Laura Padilla: Partners are really excited, because they feel that we were putting every partner type into just one type of program – really, we were just looking at revenue and transactions before, which we know in the new world doesn’t really fit what all partners are doing, their specializations. We also want to be more focused on customer outcomes moving forward, versus just transactions at the beginning of the lifecycle of a customer. The new program aligns to that, because there are other metrics – minimizing churn, customer retention, customer adoption – that we’re going to care a lot more about moving forward. Bottom line is we want our customers to be happy, and we know that partners are going to be at the heart of making sure those customers are satisfied and want to stay on Okta as their key platform for identity. Robert Dutt: And that’s all captured via a CX process, I’d imagine? Laura Padilla: Yes. We’re going to have a process both in our CRM and in the portal, and we’ll be able to track those metrics and data points as well. Robert Dutt: Do you have a feel for where your channel is at in their own journey towards CX and doing that sort of thing themselves? Is this going to be a lift and shift for some, or a lot of partners saying yeah, this maps with what we’re doing? Laura Padilla: It’s a mix. Some partners already naturally have kind of a CX or CSM type group that already looks at post-sale metrics. And then we have some partners that don’t. I think it’s going to be up to us to develop a standard – really define what we expect good to look like – and then work with partners to make sure we get them there, especially partners that really want to invest with us at the elite tier. That will be a requirement for them. Robert Dutt: What are you really looking at with this program? If we were to get together at Oktane next year, you’ll have had roughly six months to formalize the program and get it out there, and it’ll have been in market for about six months at that point. What will be the metric or two that you look back at and say, yes, this means that the launch of this program was a success? Laura Padilla: A few things. One, we want Okta to be introduced to new customers – new logos are really important to us. Second is services delivery. We want more partners who are specialized and trained on Okta globally. As we think about scaling the company, this is really important, especially in international markets, where we will not have really any delivery people. Getting them trained and specialized, and having awesome CSAT – customers really happy with the experience – we’re going to look at that extremely closely. And then the third is product adoption. We think about Okta expanding to Auth0 – our governance product has become even stronger – and then AI. Those three areas are really key. We want partners to help us expand into existing accounts and also introduce those products into new accounts. Those are the three things I’d be looking at. Robert Dutt: To what degree is this program global versus fine tuned for the peculiarities or scales of local markets, especially as you’re looking internationally? Laura Padilla: It will be a global program, and we are going to have different zones for different markets. Smaller markets or emerging markets – if you look at Europe or Asia – will probably have different needs, especially around client size, and logos and go lives will be very different than the US, which is the majority of our business, and where we’re extremely strong. Growth percentage-wise, we expect our international markets to grow faster than the US, just because we aren’t as penetrated. But if you think about the depth of installations of customers, the US is definitely where we would see product adoption grow within our install base. Robert Dutt: Just wanted to make sure there was some recognition of that, because something that Canadian partners run into frequently, depending on the nature of the program, is if things are looked at through a US lens. Obviously a much smaller market and a much more SMB-heavy market. Laura Padilla: Of course, yes. And the thing is – we had our professional services leader, Joe Castro, with us, and he and I have been spending a ton of time re-imagining what services for our customers looks like with partners. His team is going to evolve into becoming more Okta PS experts and product experts to support our partners in their delivery experience. And we’ll be pushing partners to be at the forefront, prime with the customer, as we support that experience and their educational needs moving forward. Robert Dutt: That was something you guys threw out in – I want to say March-ish, but spring – the move towards partners managing more of the professional services side of things than in the past. How has that landed, and how have you seen partners react and fill the needs that created? Laura Padilla: Excited – they want more of it. That piece landed extremely well yesterday. Partners were really excited, because we already started that about a year ago. At Oktane last year, we talked about every deal over $100K moving towards a partner to deliver that deal. Now we’re doubling down even more and saying every deal – early on, we’re going to have a flag within the account to have our AEs work with a specialized services partner early in the deal cycle, so they can partner together and make sure they’re scoping the right amount of work that a customer needs to effectively deploy Okta. We’re leaning in even more, and we are asking partners to make sure we have enough partner capacity globally to fulfill those needs. We will be handing leads to those partners proactively, versus our professional services team taking that on themselves. Robert Dutt: Who have been the partners who’ve stepped up and filled those spaces? I’m curious about the balance between the big SIs and those types of guys versus the more boutique-focused, deep-expertise, smaller shops. Who’s been picking it up? Laura Padilla: We’ve had a mix of both, and both have been awesome. Large partners like Deloitte – who really was our global delivery partner of the year – have really leaned in and been super innovative, working with us on AI assessments and labs and on the governance side. They’ve been really training their teams and becoming super competent on Okta and the complete suite of products. Then we have awesome regional SIs too that have leaned in – in the US, Active Cyber, AppEvents and BeyondID are three great partners that work with us really closely that are more regional partners. Then there are our award winners yesterday in Latin America – Livok, Intergen – awesome partners in that region that know us in and out and have really dedicated their businesses to working with Okta. And in APJ – if you think about Japan, partners like NEC and CTC are really great partners, and then we have partners like Versent and Knowledge On Tap in Sydney. So we have awesome regional as well as global GSIs that have really leaned in. Robert Dutt: How have the margin models worked for that switch to professional services? Especially when you’ve got both larger and smaller partners involved, what’s the feedback been there? Laura Padilla: It’s been good. Since we’re now moving to partners priming, they will scope their own work and obviously determine their own margin for what that looks like. But if we look at a governance deal, or Auth0, or AI, partners can look at anywhere from two to three X revenue more on top of the license revenue if they’re adding on our other products. That was my big message yesterday: you really need to look at us as a platform story. You can land with MFA, SSO or core Okta products that everyone’s familiar with. But the key part of how partners are going to make money is if they add on to that, and make sure customers can really realize the full Okta platform – governance, PAM, IAM, and then AI on top of all that – so customers don’t need other disparate products to do all those things. Then the partner can really own that full customer lifecycle experience. Robert Dutt: Obviously one of the big announcements this week is the Blueprint Alliance. That’s more on the product roadmap and strategy side of things. How does that fit into go to market and partners? What does it give your partners, and how does that play out in a multi-vendor environment? Laura Padilla: The Blueprint Alliance concept started with the need to have a standards-neutral base to define what AI agent security should look like. Todd and the product leaders went with other technology companies and said we should have a consortium to be able to define this for our customers, to relieve some of this confusion. It started with the product. However, what you’re going to see is a lot of our delivery partners are going to join the Alliance as well, and that’s coming. We’re talking to our GSIs and some of our strong regional SIs as well, who would join this Alliance of technology partners to define what delivery looks like as part of that. It will go hand in hand. We will also be training our delivery partners on the Blueprint Alliance and what that standards and framework looks like, because they’ll need to know that when they do their delivery with Okta. Robert Dutt: Any timeline on when we can expect that? Laura Padilla: I don’t have that ready off the top of my head. As you saw, we just announced the white paper today with the QR code, and we’ll be working on what those training modules look like moving forward. Robert Dutt: I wanted to get into the whole AI agents thing. Especially with Gartner predicting that the average Fortune 500 will have 150,000 or more agents in a couple of years – and a little over 10 percent, I think they said, feel they have proper governance today. That speaks to a pretty big services opportunity. Are you building a specialization around that, similar to what some of your partners have done internally across the program? Laura Padilla: Yes, we are. Absolutely. We already have some trainings today for our partners, and we’re in the middle of finalizing a formal certification and specialization around that as well. That’ll be rolling out shortly for our partners to get trained and specialized on how to secure these AI agents in an effective way, according to – well, the Alliance, but also just our product roadmap and platform. That should be coming shortly. Robert Dutt: On the product side of things, from talking to a couple of partners, the idea of the kill switch has resonated large – the comment being, this is the kind of thing that customers have been looking for. Can you talk about the opportunity you see around that, and getting that fourth layer – the “what do I do, how do I respond”, as the language was used? Laura Padilla: The four questions around the Blueprint Alliance are all interrelated and necessary, but the first thing is actually knowing you have these agents. You first have to be able to identify them and then put them in a registry – so you have an agent registry. Once you know where they are and what they’re doing, then if they’re doing bad things, you can deactivate them. We had a demo today on the keynote stage showing how you could do that in a pretty simple way: your IT admin, within a console, can look at what these agents are doing once you identify them and they’re in the registry, and just quickly deactivate them if necessary. It’s pretty mind-boggling how simple we’ve made it. Robert Dutt: What do you see as the big services opportunities to wrap around the next generation of agentic security? Laura Padilla: What we’re hearing from our partners is that customers are coming to them and asking them to first build their agents for them. So they’re working with Anthropic or OpenAI, building the agents and then securing them at the same time – and that’s probably best practice, instead of having rogue employees say, “Hey, go have some fun, here’s Lovable, go ahead and get some” – and then your token usage is going nuts and all this stuff is going crazy, which is unfortunately what a lot of people are doing now. What our partners can do is come in with a plan and say, look, let’s do this the right way. I’ll build your agents for you, we can define what they should do, and I’ll secure them at the creation point as well. Then we can put them into a registry, we can manage them, and we can also define what we give them access to. That way, if they’re not doing good things, we can deactivate them. Partners are already telling me that they’re doing that now. I also think it’s a big opportunity for us to partner even deeper with the Anthropics and the OpenAIs of the world. That’s something we’re already talking to them about, because on the services side, we want the same partners who are building those agents to work with Okta as well. Robert Dutt: I was just going to say – how does that change the focus, and give even more prominence to the development side of things in the channel? Does it change who gets invited to the party – who is the ideal Okta partner going forward? Laura Padilla: Look, there are partners that are more development-forward, and they have that arm and are embracing it. I talked to one of our advisory councils; he was telling me that he was doing just exactly that. And then we have partners who maybe aren’t doing the development work, but they have a slew of customers saying, I just need your help figuring out how do I do this – how do I actually embrace AI, but in the right way? So they’re coming in a little bit later, or maybe they’ve already rolled out a bunch of agents and they’re already rogue, and they’re using Okta to identify those agents and put them into a registry, and do it that way, which is a little bit tougher. We’re seeing both sides of it – partners who do have a developer arm, and some that don’t. Robert Dutt: I think that speaks to an ecosystem opportunity for the multi-headed partner kind of arrangement. Laura Padilla: Absolutely. I do think this whole channel area is evolving even faster. You heard me talk about the $350 billion AI services market for channel partners. The partners that evolve and know how to actually code and work with the LLM providers, as well as the application providers and the security providers, and can provide that full lifecycle for their customer, are probably going to be able to capture the most aligned share of this market. And I’m seeing partners really figuring that out now and evolving their businesses. Robert Dutt: Is there a strong indicator for success there, in terms of coming at it from the coding side of things versus coming at it from the security side of things? Because either way, you kind of have to add something to round the story out. Laura Padilla: I guess I’m a little bit of an operationally minded person, so I would say a customer is smarter if they start off with: someone to build my agents and secure them at the creation stage, then manage them, and then roll it out in a systematic way – versus saying, hey, here’s tokens for Anthropic, go to town. I know a lot of companies that are doing that, and employees – some are more adept at doing that and much more curious, and some that aren’t. Then you kind of run into issues with data – we see in the news whether there’s data leaks, or rogue agents doing things they shouldn’t have been doing. So I would advise companies to start off by engaging a partner to help them do an assessment, define the right strategy, and build that out for them. Robert Dutt: How are you seeing or thinking about agent security, especially as you start introducing things like the kill switch as a managed service from your partners? What kind of opportunity do you see there, and what does that look like? Laura Padilla: I don’t know about just the kill switch piece being an opportunity from a management perspective. I think what customers are looking for is the whole thing – managing my agents in general as a managed service. There’s a huge opportunity around that. That way, they can actually present a business case: hey, maybe I need a few more agents for this specific use case, whether it’s for HR or marketing or product or whatever that may be. A service provider could create those, manage those, put them in the registry, and if needed deactivate them if they see anything bad going on. And they could probably produce dashboards around monitoring what they’re each doing, so we can get a signal right away if they’re not doing what they should be. Robert Dutt: It feels like there are some partners who are a fair ways along to that vision. But looking broadly across your channel community, how realized is it today? Laura Padilla: Very beginning. We’re not there yet. Some of these things are just ideas, or things that I’m hearing people talk about. But the good thing is there are a lot of conversations about it, and everyone has pieces that I see they’re starting. There’s just such a huge opportunity for someone to be able to really build a practice around this. Robert Dutt: Things will continue to evolve. Laura Padilla: They will. They will for all of us. Robert Dutt: Should be very interesting, needless to say. As you’ve had this time to look at the partner base, acknowledging there are different strengths and different skills across the channel – what’s the one thing where you’d like to see partners step up, do more, support more? Where do you think Okta would benefit from getting more support or help from partners than you do today? Laura Padilla: I do think there is a bigger opportunity for partners to look at us as a platform. They’ve kind of looked at it as Okta Workforce, and then Auth0 kind of separately, and not really looked at the other features and products we have. We’ve pulled data to kind of see this. That’s why my big message yesterday was: there’s so much more that you can help your customers realize when you look at us as a platform. Adding on different features, making sure they’ve moved from Okta Workforce Classic to the latest version, do they have governance and are they using it, have they embraced Auth0, and now the AI products. There’s just so much opportunity also in our existing install base, and partners at the forefront to do that – and then they’ll get services revenue when they do that as well. We have 20,000 customers, and I think a majority of them could use a lot more pieces of Okta. Robert Dutt: That’s kind of a classic channel chief problem, or want, in a multi-product or multi-platform organization – getting that cross-sell going. What do you feel unlocks that? Laura Padilla: I’m hoping the story we told them this week – the incentives we’re rolling out, more enablement, saying hey, we’re now going to look for you to do this delivery, we’re not going to take any of this in house, we reorganized our team to support this motion, all of the investments we’ve made, and the new program rewarding that as well – I hope it gives them a light bulb moment to go, oh wow, now is the time for me to really look at this further, in a different way than I’ve looked at the Okta business in the past. Robert Dutt: Can you elaborate a bit on how the rewards and incentives change with the partner program, and specifically how they support that cross-selling motion? Laura Padilla: We talked yesterday about a new logo incentive – customers that bring in new logos, and also migrations from a different vendor to us, will be rewarded for that; we have an incentive around that. Then we’re going to lean in with deployment incentives as well – we’ll be looking at partners who are able to deliver services and deploy and go live with certain products and certain customers, and rewarding that behavior as well. We’re also going to be giving leads to partners that are specialized even more so than we have in the past – partners that are specialized with certain product and delivery specializations will be actively given leads, and our AEs are now required to bring in a specialized services partner at an earlier stage in the deal cycle. That is now embedded within our CRM. There are a ton of opportunities for partners to really take advantage of now that weren’t there before. Robert Dutt: Other than getting the program finalized and out the door, what’s on your list? What are your priorities for the back half of 2026 and into 2027? Laura Padilla: I spent my first seven months or so here really evaluating the business, spending time with my leadership – John, the CRO, and Todd and Eric and everyone – understanding where the company is going, what our company strategy is, how partners can really help amplify that. We took a ton of feedback from partners too, and that was the result of where we came up with the program. So now that I feel that structure is there – there’s still a lot of work to get it out the door – what I want to spend the second half of this year on is now with the partners, getting them to really lean in and understand why this is important, why it’s different, why there’s never been a better time to be an Okta partner than now, and really go all in. I talked about that in my presentation. So the second half will be spending more time with the partners to make sure they understand all the investments we’re making. Robert Dutt: Whether it’s something we’ve touched on or otherwise, my last question for you: what’s the biggest untapped or under-realized opportunity for Okta partners now? The kind of thing that maybe isn’t burning down the world today, but you’d bet that if we’re coming back and talking next year at Oktane, it’s going to be a big opportunity. Laura Padilla: I really think there’s a huge opportunity in governance for us. That isn’t an area that we’ve pushed on too much as a company – there are other competitors, much smaller than us, that have pushed harder in this area. We think that’s a huge opportunity for our partners: to lean into existing customers, or to migrate from those siloed, one-off companies where customers have bought those products. Those products aren’t really platforms; they’re just kind of one-off solutions. We can do much better with what Okta is providing. So governance is a huge opportunity, and we’re going to be spending a lot more time with our partners on training and specialization around that. And then Auth0, and AI. Those three are the things we’re talking a lot to our partners about. Robert Dutt: All right. A lot going on. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the new program and where things are going. Laura Padilla: It’s been great spending time with you. Thank you so much. Robert Dutt: There you have it – Laura Padilla, head of partners at Okta. I’d like to thank Laura for her time, and of course, thank you for listening. Three things worth taking away from this one for me. One: if you’re an Okta partner, the grandfathering window matters. Apex partners mostly map to elite, but some will land in the middle tier, and the tracks let you opt into the one that fits your business rather than the one Okta’s revenue spreadsheet favors. Two: the services priming move is now program-wide. If you have delivery capability on identity, the flag Okta’s AEs are required to pull early in the deal cycle is your pipeline. And three: she flagged governance as the biggest under-realized opportunity in the portfolio, with an AI agent security specialization coming. Early positioning there looks like the smart money.

Stepping into leadership can feel uncomfortable when you've built a capable team but somehow still find yourself in the middle of every question, decision, problem and approval.That's exactly where one founder found herself. Her business was growing, she trusted her team and she genuinely wanted them to succeed. But as the pace and complexity increased, so did her involvement.She became the person everyone came to for answers.In this episode, I'm sharing what changed when she realized that stepping into leadership didn't mean becoming more available to her team. It meant changing the way she led them.We worked on replacing assumptions with clarity, getting curious about what her team was actually hearing and creating real ownership instead of simply delegating more work. She became clearer about decision making, gave better feedback and created space for other people to lead.And something really interesting happened: as her team became more confident, so did she.I see this transition with so many female business owners. Even experienced female founders can reach a stage where the leadership skills that got them here aren't quite what the next stage of the business needs.Building confidence as a leader isn't about having every answer. Sometimes it comes from seeing what your team is capable of when you stop being their go-to person for everything.That's the real work of stepping into leadership as your business grows. Your role has to evolve alongside the team you're building.If you recognize yourself in this story, the Accelerator for Female Founders was created for this stage of growth. We'll work together on your leadership, your people strategy and the team your business needs for what comes next.Learn more about the Accelerator here.Because stepping into leadership isn't about becoming less important to your business.

Watch this episode on YouTube! What does it really take to build a successful small business? In this episode, Kirsten sits down with Chase Fairchild, serial entrepreneur and founder/CEO of Bolt Marketing in Lexington, Kentucky for a wide-ranging conversation about entrepreneurship, marketing, community, and the lessons that come from both success and failure. Chase shares how his entrepreneurial journey started with something as simple as cutting grass door-to-door eventually growing into managing dozens or properties and hiring friends.  Along the way, he experienced both business successes and failures - including an agency that ultimately failed because the partners hadn't clearly identified the problem the business existed to solve. That experience became one of the foundations for how Chase approaches business today: solve a real problem, understand your customer, and get the fundamentals right before chasing the next shiny object. In this episode, Kirsten and Chase discuss: Why not everyone is cut out to be a business owner The importance of identifying the real problem your business exists to solve The three roles every entrepreneur must navigate: technician, manager and entrepreneur Why entrepreneurs can become distracted by the next exciting idea instead of going deeper into their existing business The marketing fundamentals many small businesses overlook Why messaging and positioning should come before social media and advertising Why your website should be your "digital nucleus" The importance of using authentic, native photography and video to build trust Why businesses shouldn't make their marketing all about themselves The growing value of in-person experiences One of the biggest takeaways:  Don't skip theh fundamentals!

Most Asian markets still make buying and saving Bitcoin painfully hard.

Episode Summary I just got back from a few weeks in Europe with plenty of time to think on those long flights, and I kept coming back to a topic I know well from running my own firm. Most law firm owners think they have a hiring problem. In my experience, it's rarely that simple. In this episode, I talk through why the same person can struggle in one role and thrive in another, and why so many owners end up quietly carrying underperformance instead of looking at the structure underneath it. Nothing about the person needs to change. Often it's the seat that does. What We'll Cover Why "we have a hiring problem" is usually a symptom, not the real issue How roles quietly grow into a mismatch of jobs stitched together over time The difference between a skill problem and a will problem What accidental role design looks like inside a growing firm A simple process for mapping your people against properly defined seats Why redesigning a role before replacing a person saves time and money What You'll Learn How to tell whether an underperformance issue is about the person or the role A simple way to separate "can they do this" from "do they want to do this" What the core seats tend to look like across a typical law firm Why documenting each role protects you from being the only person who understands how your firm runs This episode connects to team performance, delegation and building a firm that doesn't rely entirely on you holding it all together.

Stifel CEO Ron Kruszewski joins Inside the ICE House to mark 30 years leading the 136-year-old firm and reflect on navigating constant change. He explains why he sees AI as a powerful accelerator rather than a replacement for human judgment, and why he's betting Stifel's business on the enduring value of human relationships. Kruszewski warns against chasing trends like tokenization without heeding the lessons of financial history, favoring a strategy of compounding capabilities over decades. He closes with his outlook on where AI and financial services are headed together.

Chef and entrepreneur Pierre Thiam joins Grow Everything to explain how fonio, a resilient ancient grain from West Africa, can become a platform for biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, food security, and farmer prosperity. Pierre traces his journey from studying physics and chemistry to discovering the kitchen as a larger system connecting culture, health, ecology, and economics. He shares why fonio is nutritionally dense, gluten free, drought resistant, fast cooking, and versatile, as well as how Yolélé is building aggregation centers and modern processing infrastructure while keeping cultivation knowledge and ownership with smallholder farming communities. The conversation explores how biotechnology can complement biodiversity, why flavor must lead climate friendly food adoption, how underutilized crops can create clean label ingredients and new commercial markets, and why food can serve as a powerful tool for diplomacy and cultural understanding. For founders, scientists, investors, and builders in the bioeconomy, Pierre offers a human centered model of innovation that begins with nature, respects generational knowledge, and uses technology to unlock solutions that have been in front of us all along.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and speak with the leaders and innovators using biology to change the world. Biology is the world's oldest technology, and it can be engineered. So, what are we growing?Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.messaginglab.com/groweverything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:(00:00:00) Why flavor must lead sustainable food adoption(00:07:00) Artificial intelligence for science and protein design(00:14:00) Pierre Thiam connects cooking, chemistry, culture, and diplomacy(00:21:00) What fonio tastes like and why chefs love its versatility(00:28:00) Scaling fonio through farmer centered supply chains and global markets(00:35:00) Human centered design for West African farming communities(00:42:00) Delicious first: the strategy behind climate friendly food adoption(00:49:00) Biodiversity, forgotten crops, and the future of food security(00:56:00) How biotechnology and local knowledge can work together(01:02:00) Building healthier diets and stronger farming communitiesLinks and Resources:Chef Pierre ThiamTeranga - Senegalese RestaurantYolélé FoodsThe Fonio CookbookChief Pierre Thiam Instagram197. What's in Your Cart? A Grocery Store Walkthrough of Next-Gen Food Innovation196. Beyond the Red Tape: Greg Jaffe on Policy as an Accelerator for Bio-InnovationNew Evidence points to ‘Ghost DNA'Claude opens 10,000 free seats to scientistsDavid Kong's class - How To Grow Almost AnythingBioInnovations Events - For 25% off use code: Grow EverythingGrow Everything LinkedInTopics Covered:Fonio, West African cuisine, sustainable food systems, regenerative agriculture, food biodiversity, underutilized crops, food diplomacy, Bambara groundnuts, climate-resilient crops, YoléléHave a question or comment? Message us here:Text or Call (804) 505-5553⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grow Everything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music by: Nihilore Production by: Amplafy Media

If you've tried plant-based and it started feeling limiting, this is the fix. In this episode Jarrod and Anita show you how simple it is to take one dish you already love and rebuild it in exciting WFPB ways. Most people eat the same meals on repeat when trying to live healthy. When those dishes get boring, eating starts to feel like deprivation, and that's when many quit. However, when done right, whole food plant-based never feels like deprivation.  Anita takes the mouth-watering homemade lasagna she grew up with in her family's restaurant and shows you what happens when you stop assuming there's only one way to make a dish. Once you do this with one healthy meal, you'll start to see what's possible for you. You'll also hear what the new British Journal of Nutrition study reveals about just six weeks of eating a wider variety of plants. The results demonstrate the amazing improvements that are possible for your body when you know how to enjoy more whole plant foods. If you feel stuck eating the same healthy meals on repeat and are ready for fresh, actionable inspiration, this is for you.Grab our cookbooks for the delicious time-saving recipes that will simplify your life, optimize your health, and save you countless hours every week. Shift your body from being your biggest hindrance to your #1 asset, inside Accelerator. This is the 8 week experience built for the high-performing, faith-driven entrepreneur ready to trade the world's way of "managing" health for the body optimization system that's backed by the Bible and the reliable research.

Texas was its own independent country for nine years before joining the US. We'll look at a surprising, modern example of that same independence that is still shaping the state today, and the true, slightly ridiculous origin of the popular Texas slogan "Don't Mess With Texas."

Your body does not have the right to keep running your life. You have been given authority over it. Most Christian entrepreneurs were never taught this, so they spend years negotiating with symptoms instead of commanding their vessel the simple way. In this episode, Anita and Jarrod open Scripture on who you actually are, what your body was designed to do, and the keys that put you back in the captain's seat.If your health has been shaping decisions for your business, your family, or your ministry, this one hands the wheel back to you.P.S.

When you leave a job to start your own practice, you're making a pretty massive trade:You're trading consistency for upside.Gone is the predictable paycheck, the regular schedule, the structure someone else created for you, and the relative certainty of knowing what you're going to make.In exchange? You get upside.And in this first episode of our Making Your Business Work for You series, we're talking about the most obvious kind: money.Because we all know the fantasy math."If I charge $200 and see 40 patients a week…"And suddenly you're mentally spending the fortune you're obviously going to make as a practice owner.Except…that's not how this works.There are plenty of practice owners making less than they could working for someone else. We'll share some real numbers, break down what different caseloads actually mean for your take-home income, and talk about the financial ceiling of the solo model versus the very different challenges (and opportunities) of growing beyond yourself.We also break down the only four ways to make more money in your practice:Get more leadsConvert more of those leads into patientsKeep your patients longerRaise your pricesBut making more isn't the whole story.You can have a thriving practice and still panic over every cancellation, obsess over every eval who doesn't book, and wonder whether the whole thing is about to come crashing down after one slow week.So we're also talking about financial confidence—knowing your numbers, understanding the normal ups and downs of business, and being confident you're on pace to hit your goals.Because ultimately, running a small business is a get-rich-slow scheme.You stack the wins. You make an extra $25,000 this year. You invest it. You get smarter about taxes. You improve the business. You let those gains compound over years and decades.Your practice might be the single greatest wealth-generating machine you ever create.Just don't expect it to happen overnight.PelviCon Live Virtual + RecordingCan't be with us in person for PelviCon?

Biotech is moving fast, but regulation, public trust, and infrastructure still shape how quickly new ideas reach the market. In this episode of Grow Everything, Greg Jaffe joins Karl Schmieder to explore the regulatory future of the bioeconomy, drawing on Greg's experience in environmental law, consumer advocacy, and as the USDA's chief regulatory officer. They discuss why founders need to think about regulatory strategy early, how production methods, product claims, and intended use can dramatically change the path through agencies like USDA, EPA, and FDA, and why clear oversight can help build the trust emerging technologies need to scale. Greg and Karl also examine the regional nature of biomanufacturing, the importance of rural infrastructure and local partnerships, and why the future of the bioeconomy will require coordinated policy, stronger market demand, international access, and regulatory pathways that support innovation while protecting public confidence.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and speak with the leaders and innovators using biology to change the world. Biology is the world's oldest technology, and it can be engineered. So, what are we growing?Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.messaginglab.com/groweverything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:(00:00:00) Intro: Moderna cancer vaccine news, Sargassum in Miami, and K18's viral hairball activation(00:13:00) Greg Jaffe's path from environmental law to biotech policy(00:16:30) Why the coordinated framework for biotechnology still matters(00:20:00) What biotech startups need to understand about USDA, EPA, and FDA(00:25:15) How claims, intent, and language can change a regulatory pathway(00:28:15) Why public trust is essential for biomanufactured food and biotech products(00:31:30) How biotech regulation differs in the United States, Africa, and Southeast Asia(00:35:20) Why biomass and biomanufacturing are inherently local(00:38:00) Which bio based sectors may be ready to scale first(00:42:20) The role federal policy can play in making bio based products the defaultLinks and Resources:Greg JaffeJaffe Policy Consulting LLCU.S. Department of AgricultureBioPreferred Program - USDAWhat is it like to be a cucumber? - Mike LevinThe Merck/Moderna cancer vaccine: How does it work and what are potential barriers to wide use?Miami faces worsening seaweed problem as piles of algae wash up on beachesSPOTTED K18 Hair: a giant hairball rolling across NYCBioInnovations Events - For 25% off use code: Grow EverythingGrow Everything LinkedInTopics Covered:USDA regulation, FDA food regulation, GRAS process, cultivated meat regulation, precision fermentation, food safety policy, bioeconomy policy, agricultural biotechnology, ultra-processed foodsHave a question or comment? Message us here:Text or Call (804) 505-5553⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grow Everything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music by: Nihilore Production by: Amplafy Media

You've hit the same income ceiling more than once now, and every time you've answered it the same way. You worked harder. It didn't move.So this episode isn't about strategy, because strategy was never what was holding you. It's the five patterns I see in almost every capable woman who's stuck at a number well below what she's worth, and how each one quietly runs her business for her.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your state of being is the reason nothing new is landing, and what all that over-delivering is actually doing for your income The stress response you've been running your business on for years, and why it was never built for women in the first placeThe client you've already outgrown, and why letting her go feels like a betrayal even while it's keeping you out of the room you wantWhat the words "no pressure at all" at the end of a message are really doing to the saleThe reason a record month arrives as anxiety instead of celebration, and what your body is protecting you from when it doesThis is part three of the high value woman series.If any of this landed too close to home, my Private 1:1 Accelerator is open by application. It's the closest level of proximity to me and the fastest way to move the patterns rather than manage them.Mentorship and Further Insights: Learn how to attract clients who pay without hesitation and increase your income for the work you're already doing, with Premium Client Attraction. 2027 EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST: The Collective: A mentorship for women in business ready to expand into multi five figure and six figure months, attract premium clients and become known in the high-end space in their industry.Book the mini private 1:1 mentorship package here. Further Resources: Follow me on Instagram for the ongoing edit on building a high-end brand and living a premium life.

Maybe you were raised the way we were, believing that when the Bible says salvation, it refers to your spirit and nothing else. Perhaps you learned that healing was for way back then, for other people, somewhere far from you.In this episode Jarrod and Anita get into what The Word actually says about your physical body. They lay out the Biblical model of whole food plant based eating and also explain the exhaustion that keeps you falling asleep over your Bible, what the enemy does to convince you this promise belongs to someone else, and how God's Word is intended to work in your life as literal medicine. You're not here by accident. If you're tired of managing symptoms instead of fully living the dreams God placed on your heart, this is the perfect place to start.Grab our cookbooks for the delicious time-saving recipes that will simplify your life, optimize your health, and save you countless hours every week.

I want to walk you through something I use with every single client in Accelerator, because it's the fastest way I know to see exactly what's holding your firm back. I call it the three sided model of firm growth, and once you see it laid out, you can't unsee it. I talk to law firm owners every week and the pattern is always the same. They started their firm for more money and more freedom, and instead they end up busier and more stressed than they ever were as an employee. In this episode I share the story of a client who came to me completely exhausted after 11 years in practice, drowning in the day to day. Less than two years later she's turning over close to her target with a team of 14, working far fewer hours and finally leading instead of firefighting. I break down the model she used, an automated flow of clients, a high performing team, and an automated law firm, and I give you a simple traffic light exercise so you can see where your own firm is strong and where it's leaking. This is the kind of clarity that a good law firm business coach gives you before anything else changes. You can't fix what you haven't actually looked at. What We'll Cover The three things every profitable, low stress law firm has in common Why working harder isn't the answer if the same three gaps stay unaddressed A real client story of going from $500k to $3 million turnover in under two years The traffic light exercise I use with clients to diagnose where a firm is losing time and money What an automated flow of quality clients actually looks like day to day Why a high performing team isn't about hiring more people, it's about how you delegate The three levers that make a law firm run like a business instead of a job What You'll Learn A simple way to self assess where your firm is strong and where it's exposed, without needing an outside audit Why brand authority, an appointment engine and strong conversion matter more than chasing referrals What separates a team that needs constant supervision from one you can actually rely on Why data, tech and documented systems and processes are what make a firm profitable without you in every decision A clearer sense of what's realistic to change in your firm in the next 12 to 24 months, based on a real example Free Resources Spotting other spots in your firm where you're still too hands on? I've got resources to help you dig in. My free resources cover the real nuts and bolts of running a law firm, from identifying profit leaks and getting clear on your numbers to building stronger systems and stepping back from being the bottleneck. Book a Free Law Firm Growth Strategy Call Scalable Law Accelerator Program Identifying Profit Leaks How to Make AI Recommend Your Law Firm (Free Guide) Is Your Firm Growing Without You? If you listened to that traffic light exercise and landed on more red and orange than you'd like, that's not a bad result. It's information you didn't have before, and it's exactly where every client I work with started, including the one I mentioned in this episode. This is the work I do inside Accelerator every day, helping law firm owners go from technician to CEO with a clear plan instead of guesswork. If you want help mapping out where your firm sits and what to prioritise next, jump on a free growth call with us. It's a genuine conversation about your firm, not a sales pitch, and it's the same starting point I use as a law firm coach with every new client who joins the program.

It might be the nudge they need to stop treating email as a time-management problem and start looking at the systems behind it. And if something in this episode made you rethink the way you work, I'd love to hear about it. Share your biggest takeaway on social media and tag me. I love seeing the shifts you're making inside your firm, even the small ones that, over time, add up to something much bigger.

Companies have spent years storing more and more data, but Amii Rozell and Hana Kabazi make an important distinction: saving the final answer is not the same as saving why you made the decision. Three years later, the interpretation may still be there while the lease problem, environmental concern, rejected idea, meeting discussion, or uncertainty behind it has disappeared. AI can help recover that context, but it can also sound very sure of itself when the record has holes. That leads to one of the most useful AI conversations I heard at IMAGE. Amii says companies are doing plenty of explaining about what AI is, but not enough training on how employees should actually use it. Hana's advice is essentially the same thing teachers have always asked for: prove it. Ask where the answer came from, ask what the model does not know, understand the difference between public tools and protected enterprise systems, and do your own research before turning an AI inference into an operational decision.

Episode Summary I want to talk about something that quietly costs law firm owners more than they realise: their inbox. Most owners treat this as a time management issue. They think if they just got faster at replying, or better at squeezing in an hour to clear it out, the problem would sort itself. It won't. Because the real issue isn't how much time your inbox takes up. It's how many times a day it pulls you away from what you're actually doing. In this episode, I break down why constant email interruption is one of the most underestimated drains on your mental capacity, and why growing your revenue doesn't fix it if the structure underneath hasn't changed. I also share the change I made in my own business that had the biggest impact, along with a few practical strategies you can put in place this week, including how connecting your inbox to Claude changes who has to be the first human touchpoint on every message that lands. A calmer inbox is a small change. A calmer business is what it's actually building toward.

Geoff Woods walked Jay Schwedelson through the prompt structure he used to help a CEO who had 90 days of sleepless nights and a company about to go under, and the answer came out of the machine in under ten minutes.

The Truth About AI Nobody Is Talking AboutEveryone is rushing to implement AI. Automate the emails. Automate the onboarding. Automate the follow-ups. And yes, AI is a genuinely powerful tool. I use it in my own business, and I teach my clients how to use it well.But here's what I think we're not talking about enough.AI doesn't fix a broken business. It exposes one. And if you automate what's already broken, AI will make those problems move faster, and at a larger scale.In this episode, I'm sharing five things AI is going to expose in your business, and what you need to fix before you start automating anything.What You'll Hear in This Episode:The biggest misconception about AI — why "what can AI do for me?" is the wrong first question, and what to ask instead.5 things AI will expose in your business - listen to find out what they are5 questions to ask yourself before you automate anything — a practical framework for knowing whether your business is actually ready.Accelerator vs. multiplier — the distinction that will change how you think about AI entirely.What a business worth owning actually looks like — and why that's the real conversation AI is forcing us to have.The Key Idea to Take AwayAI amplifies what's already there. Great process plus AI equals great process, faster. Broken process plus AI equals broken process, faster. The businesses that will benefit most from AI aren't the ones with the most sophisticated tools — they're the ones with clean data, clear processes, defined ownership, and strong foundations.This Episode Is For You If...You're thinking about implementing AI in your business but aren't sure where to startYou feel like your business is growing but getting messier at the same timeYou're the bottleneck in your business and everything runs through youYou want to build something that works — with or without AIHappy listening!

Six Flags Great America is getting a brand-new family area called Camp Timber Trail, anchored by a Vekoma family suspended coaster that's essentially a clone of Phoenix at Deno's Wonderwheel Park. The area has nine attractions total, mixing new builds with clever re-themes of park classics. Mike and EB break down why these smaller, heavily-themed family coasters might matter more for a park's long-term health than another record-breaking mega-coaster. Then it's time for Quick Hits: Cedar Point's season-long Fast Lane add-on is going for a jaw-dropping $1,999 after the park closed last year's loophole of buying a cheaper Fast Lane at a different Six Flags park. Mike and EB do the actual math on how many visits it takes before that price tag makes any sense at all. Kings Dominion is running its classic dark ride Flight of Fear with the lights on every night in August, giving longtime fans a reason to ride a coaster they've been on a hundred times before. And in the biggest tease of the week, newly surfaced test footage...along with a mysterious social media post.... all but confirms that RMC's long-rumored Wild Moose coaster — a compact, maneuver-packed ride built entirely around those beloved pre-lift RMC moments — is headed to Kentucky Kingdom. Mike also circles back to Busch Gardens Williamsburg's still-mysterious Corkscrew Hill rebuild, wondering out loud what it could mean for the park's aging motion simulator theater. Coaster Radio also has a genuinely stacked week ahead: an early, embargoed interview with Hershend's creative director about Dollywood's NightFlight Expedition, a Silver Dollar City interview tied to their upcoming 2027 announcement, and Neil Patrick Harris himself joining the show to talk D23, Hong Kong Disneyland, and his connection to the Muppets' Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. The back half is this week's interactive topic, and it's a good one: listeners were asked what ride needs to leave their home park to make room for something better. Kings Island's outdated log flume, Six Flags Over Georgia's Blue Hawk, Lagoon's Double Thunder Raceway, Six Flags Great America's Superman, Cedar Point's Kiddy Kingdom, Hershey Park's train and monorail, Knott's Berry Farm's Accelerator, and Six Flags Magic Mountain's Scream, among many more.
