Welcome to a special author's episode of The Data Chief, where we delve into the minds of three influential authors who are shaping the conversation around data and AI. First, Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader, shares his philosophy of prioritizing strategy over technology to make faster, smarter decisions. Next, Wendy Batchelder, author of The Data Governance Handbook, discusses how to transform governance from a rigid bureaucracy into a business accelerator by focusing on business outcomes. Finally, Malcolm Hawker, author of The Data Hero Playbook, challenges data leaders to adopt a heroic mindset by becoming customer-driven and aligning their incentives with business success. Join us to learn how to lead effectively in the AI era by building a strategy-driven, governed, and customer-centric data function.The Data Chief Podcast: Author Episode Key MomentsGeoff Woods: The AI-Driven LeaderFrom "IT Problem" to Strategic Partner (06:20): Woods advocates for viewing AI as a "strategic thought partner" rather than an assistant or replacement, and emphasizes that AI strategy must align with business strategy.The CRIT Framework for Smarter Prompts (12:25): He introduces the CRIT framework for prompt engineering: Context, Role, Interview, Task. This method helps leaders get non-obvious, high-impact strategies from AI by having the AI ask the right questions.Beyond the Bottom Line: AI's Human Impact (22:17): Woods discusses the ROI of AI, including a case where AI identified savings equivalent to 2% of a company's revenue. Wendy Batchelder: The Data Governance HandbookData Governance as an Accelerator (32:33): Wendy Batchelder addresses the myth that data governance is a "dirty word" or a code for "no," arguing that its true purpose is to be an accelerator.Speaking the Language of Business (35:17): Batchelder emphasizes that data governance should be embedded from the start of a project, not as an afterthought. She provides an example of "bad" vs. "good" communication, urging data professionals to speak the language of the business.Measuring Value with Business Outcomes (40:00): She outlines how to measure the value of data governance by connecting it to business outcomes like increased revenue or improved customer service. Malcolm Hawker: The Data Hero PlaybookFrom Limiting Mindset to Growth Mindset (56:00): Hawker discusses why he wrote the book, calling the current moment a "do or die" opportunity for CDOs. He challenges the "limiting mindset" that leads to defeatism.Customer-Driven, Not Data-Driven (1:08:00): He urges data leaders to be "customer-driven, not data-driven," emphasizing the need for data teams to become more business literate.The Power of Product Management (1:14:00): Hawker advocates for bringing product management disciplines into data teams. This approach focuses on putting the customer at the center and ensures that data products are economically viable and tied to ROI.Key Quotes:"It is not technology first, strategy second. It is strategy first, technology second.” - Geoff Woods"The companies that are treating data as something that helps drive business outcomes are thinking about data at the beginning and set up at the end." - Wendy Batchelder“If you deliver value to your customers, if you are the lever of change and transformation in your organization, if you show value from data, you will get a seat at the table." - Malcolm HawkerMentionsThe AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, SmarterHow AI is transforming strategy developmentData Governance Handbook: A practical approach to building trust in data5 key reasons why data analytics is important to businessThe Data Hero Playbook: Developing Your Data Leadership SuperpowersCDOs and CDAOs: Rethink your role or fade awayGuest Bios:About Geoff Woods Geoff Woods is the #1 bestselling author of The AI-Driven Leader, host of the AI-Driven Leader podcast, and Founder of AI Leadership and The AI-Driven Leadership Collective™, a highly vetted network of executives collaborating to harness AI to build better businesses and better lives.

In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, I continue sharing my Burnout Breakthrough Accelerator series. We dive into the second pillar of moving past burnout: uncovering the impossible standards we set for ourselves. From work expectations like never making mistakes or always going above and beyond, to personal standards of being the “perfect” partner, parent, or friend, we explore how these unrealistic bars keep us stuck in exhaustion and self-criticism. Through exercises and real-life examples—including a powerful story from a client—you'll learn how to recognize these patterns and begin creating realistic standards that allow for success, joy, and sustainability.

Episode 264. Should we fear Inward Migration? In this episode I cover a recent report from the Irish Government's Department of Finance which predicts the population could be set to grow to 7.6m in the coming 40 years. This will have an impact on many areas of life in Ireland for both the native Irish and the migrants arriving on our shores - from housing, to economics, to the politics of populism and nationalism. Lots to consider, I hope you find this one thought provoking... *** Curious about my Accelerator
Episode Summary Building and scaling a law firm isn't just about winning more clients or hiring more staff, it's about creating consistent, predictable visibility in your market. And the easiest way to do that is through organic marketing. In this episode of the Scalable Law Podcast, Caralee dives into what organic marketing actually involves, why it's the most underused growth lever in the legal industry, and how it can set your firm up for long-term success. Most law firm owners overlook organic marketing because it doesn't deliver overnight results, but it does deliver lasting ones. With the right strategies, you can build a powerful presence that generates leads 24/7, positions you as the go-to expert, and fuels your revenue growth without burning cash on ads. What You'll Hear in This Episode What organic marketing is and why it matters for law firms The key organic channels that drive consistent client enquiries Why organic strategies build long-term momentum that compounds How to start implementing organic marketing with simple, weekly actions How strong organic marketing boosts the ROI of your paid campaigns My Key Takeaways for You Organic marketing is the lowest-hanging fruit for law firms because it uses assets you already have such as your website, expertise, and relationships — rather than relying on a large ad budget. Content created now can keep attracting clients for years, creating compounding returns over time. It builds trust and positions you as an authority, which increases conversion rates and reduces the need for “hard selling.” A strong organic presence makes any future paid ads perform better by improving brand awareness and trust. Start small and stay consistent: optimise your website, update your Google Business Profile, post weekly, and nurture your email list.

You have a business, a team, and you are working hard, but sometimes it feels like it isn't growing as you expect, or maybe your team isn't growing on its own. One common mistake in network marketing is focusing on one strong team. While this can help you hit a goal quickly, it leaves you unbalanced. But there is a wiser approach. In today's Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos answers a question in the Accelerator community about the strategic placement of team members and rankings.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Maintaining multiple accounts to get the most benefitsTracking volume and salesAdjusting your sales and team placement strategyCommon misconceptions about reaching the 6A rankingIf you have one team that is doing most of the work, you need to help the slower team until your business is more stable. That's how Balazs nurtures new teams, because it creates a more powerful and long-term structure for everyone. Ultimately, your success relies on understanding your sales structure, growth strategy, and implementing a system that is accessible to everyone on your team."So you always have to be aware of your volume and how the percentages split up. At one point, I was 90% one side and 10% on the other side. It was not good. And now my business is about 65-35, much better. But it's because I put all of my energy on the slower leg, slower lane." - Balazs W KardosListen to the full episode to learn how to reach your goals faster through team placement and sales strategy to grow a top-notch active community.Want a Personalized Plan for Business & Life Optimization?Book A FREE Call Connect with Balazs W Kardos:WebsiteFacebookThe Diamond Life CommunityLinkedInYouTubeInstagramThe Diamond Life Mentor Instagram

“You can find out what your MSP is worth in just 15 seconds,” says Paul Daigle of Biz Advisory Board. “Our evaluator benchmarks your business against peers and shows where you can grow and how to position for acquisition.” At the MSP Summit in Orlando, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Daigle moments after his standing-room-only, three-hour session on mergers and acquisitions. Daigle explained how the Biz Advisory Board's MSP Business Evaluator and Accelerator helps owners measure themselves against best-in-class peers, identify gaps, and create strategies to “level up” across 72 key business functions—from marketing and HR to cybersecurity and finance. The model not only helps MSPs break through growth ceilings but also prepares them for successful exits. By showing where an MSP stands compared to others in its revenue group, the evaluator highlights the steps needed to increase valuation and attract buyers. Daigle emphasized that private equity firms, strategic buyers, and financial buyers all use similar benchmarks, making it critical for MSPs to align their operations before entering M&A discussions. He also highlighted the role of AI in shaping valuations. Smaller MSPs can increase EBITDA by replacing entry-level technicians with AI-driven efficiencies, while larger MSPs can scale without additional headcount—both strategies boosting profitability and acquisition appeal. With a growing newsletter following and active LinkedIn presence, Daigle shares weekly insights for MSPs seeking to grow or prepare for sale. “There's no two MSPs alike,” he noted. “But every MSP can accelerate growth and maximize value if they measure themselves and take action.” Learn more at bizadvisoryboard.com.

Episode Summary Building and scaling a law firm isn't just about attracting clients and delivering legal work. It is also about having the right people in the right roles. In this episode, I talk about the EOS® principle of Right People, Right Seats and why it is such a powerful tool for law firm owners. I'll walk you through how to evaluate your team using three simple questions, the importance of clear reporting lines, and what happens when the firm owner is not in the right seat. If you have ever felt like your team structure is holding you back, this episode will help you see where the gaps are and how to fix them. What You'll Hear in This Episode What “Right People, Right Seats” means in a law firm The three questions to ask about every role: Get it, Want it, Capacity How accountability charts prevent bottlenecks Why values matter more than skills when choosing the right person When the owner is not the best person for a particular role How we use this exercise inside the Accelerator program My Key Takeaways for You You don't need to do everything at once. Growth is about doing the right things for the stage you're in. A $300k firm doesn't need executive dashboards, and a $3M firm shouldn't be operating off spreadsheets. When you know where you are on the roadmap, you can make decisions with confidence, reduce overwhelm, and build a firm that gives you freedom as well as profit. Resources and Links Scalable Law Accelerator Program – Work with me to map your accountability chart and create a team that supports growth Traction by Gino Wickman – the book that introduced the EOS® framework Ready to Restructure Your Firm? Inside Accelerator, I help law firm owners map out their teams so they can clearly see where the right people are in the right seats and where changes need to happen. This exercise alone can give you clarity and direction that takes away so much stress. If you are ready to step into a stronger leadership role and build a team structure that works, join Accelerator here.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Scalable Law Podcast, I'm joined by my good friend and past Accelerator member, Kristen Porter. Kristen is the founder of Oh No Legal, a law firm that grew nationally during the COVID years, and more recently, she launched Zenovate Marketing, a digital marketing agency built specifically to help law firm owners grow. Kristen shares her journey of starting her firm out of necessity, why she chose to niche down into the real estate industry, and how that decision not only made her practice easier to run but also made her marketing more powerful. We also talk about the frustrations law firm owners face when outsourcing marketing, and why she created Zenovate to be a trusted solution that understands the legal profession. If you want to hear how niching, list building, and smart digital strategies can change the game for your firm, you'll love this conversation. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Kristen decided to start her own law firm and how it grew quickly through digital marketing How list building, webinars, and lead magnets transformed her pipeline without relying on referrals Why niching made her law practice easier to run and more profitable How different client personalities within one niche call for different service models What led Kristen to launch Zenovate Marketing and why law firms need marketing support that actually understands the profession The importance of deep brand positioning and copywriting for law firm growth and freedom Quotes from the Episode “Our law firm growth is totally dependent on our digital marketing. For a long time, we didn't even use paid ads, we built everything through organic list building and partnerships.” “Nicheing makes everything easier. Your practice becomes smoother, your marketing clearer, and other professionals see you as the expert.” “Copy is what converts. Your logo and design make you look professional, but the words you use are what actually bring in the right clients.” Links and Resources Learn more about Kristen's marketing agency: Zenovate Marketing Connect with me at Scalable Law for programs and resources on law firm growth and law firm freedom Explore the Scalable Business Lounge for support, training, and a community of law firm owners Share the Value If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a fellow law firm owner who would find it valuable.

Bert de Jong, Director of the Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) at Berkeley Lab, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Bert describes how the center develops superconducting, trapped-ion, and neutral-atom technologies in parallel, and the importance of certification in verifying quantum computations. They discuss the roadmap for integrating quantum into HPC at NERSC, the cost and scaling challenges of large systems, and the Department of Energy's focus on scientific—not cryptographic—applications. Bert also highlights creative approaches to error correction, opportunities for industry collaboration, the need for workforce training starting in high schools and community colleges, and why he believes quantum will deliver practical scientific impact within five years.
Our host sits down with Chad Nikkel, President of Entrepreneurs' Organization, Arizona. As a seasoned entrepreneur, and business coach, Chad's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and the power of community. From feeling feeling burned out and isolated, it wasn't until he discovered the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) that hesitation became a transformative experience, giving him the support, candor, and camaraderie he didn't know he needed. Today, Chad is not only building and coaching businesses but also helping other entrepreneurs scale smarter through EO and the Accelerator program.

God is a good Father who uses holidays and festivals to disciple His children all throughout the Old Testament. But for some reason these have been lost in modern Christianity. Now, we don't HAVE to celebrate these holidays, Christ fulfills them all, BUT we've found over the past 10+ years that they are a POWERFUL tool to disciple our kids, follow God more closely, and build deep memories that impact us, our kids, and our communities for a lifetime. Here's why we like celebrating them, and a quick reminder that our Accelerator is open to join right now for September, where we'll be giving you a full "how to" so you can celebrate your first Biblical holiday - Sukkot - this October without any stress!

Executive coach Michael King breaks down why being talented at your craft doesn't automatically make you good at running a business. He shares his framework for moving from reactive daily tasks to intentional vision-building, emphasizing that most creatives are thinking way too small about what they're building. Michael challenges listeners to create a "to-be list" focused on identity and impact rather than just grinding through endless to-dos. Key Takeaways Talent vs. Leadership are different skills - You can be amazing at video production but terrible at running a video business, and both require intentional development Start with identity, then vision, then structure - Before diving into tactics, get clear on who you are, what you want to build, and who you need on your team Create bandwidth for future thinking - You have to intentionally make time to work ON your business, not just IN it, even when you're swamped with client work Embrace being "good and different" - Stop comparing yourself to others and own what makes you uniquely valuable in the marketplace About Michael King Michael King is not just a coach — he's a builder of people, companies, and creative movements. With over a decade of executive insight, creative thinking, and relentless execution, King has launched full-scale leadership systems and founded anti-agencies that prioritize genuine service over industry norms. At the center of King's approach is a fundamental belief that strategy, simplicity, and systems unlock the best in people. This philosophy drives his work across multiple domains: coaching Fortune 500 executives, building platforms for founders, and speaking to teams and leaders around the globe. King is the creator of innovative frameworks like TEAMS and leads transformative experiences through Accelerator, an immersive strategic coaching experience designed to drive meaningful change. His reputation is built on delivering insight without fluff, transformation without ego, and strategic thinking that helps leaders grow what matters most. Whether working with C-suite executives or emerging entrepreneurs, King brings the same commitment to practical wisdom and results-driven strategies that have made him a sought-after voice in leadership development and organizational transformation.

[are] not connected to the vision." - Michael King "There's always room for good and different." - Michael King (quoting a club manager's advice to comedian Yakov Smirnoff) "You're leaving too much on the table. It's not big enough. It's not impactful enough.

On this episode Gil Bashe welcomes Craig Martin—former acting CEO of Global Genes and founder/CEO of the Orphan Therapeutics Accelerator—about the urgent need to rescue clinically promising drugs for rare and ultra-rare diseases. Craig shares how his nonprofit model uses AI, CDMOs, CROs, and alternative funding to de-risk shelved therapies and transform them into treatments for patients with unmet needs. including context on systemic inequities and the human cost of stalled innovation. He describes a startling trend: when capital dries up or regulations shift, life-saving drug programs get shelved—not because of safety or efficacy issues, but due to dilution in business incentives. Among those left behind are rare disease candidates that patients and families know work, but simply become financially unviable. Martin joins us to unpack a pressing challenge in rare disease therapeutics: promising clinical‑stage drug programs that have been shelved—not for lack of science, but due to shifting capital and incentives. Through his nonprofit model at OTXL, he's pioneering an entirely new approach to rescue these assets and deliver real impact.
