Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's encore, we will cover two questions that confront me daily: How big do I actually want to grow STC? What is the purpose of STC in relation to my overall life?

Why do we size up a rude stranger in seconds and decide they don't belong in our "tribe"? Dr. Benjamin Granger has a term for it: the evolutionary hangover — his phrase for the cognitive biases our brains evolved for savanna survival and never quite retired. As Chief Workplace Psychologist at Qualtrics, Granger spends his days distilling billions of data points on how employees and customers really feel, and in this episode he brings that same lens to his new USA Today bestseller, A Leader Worth Following. The conversation moves from the biological to the deeply practical. Granger traces human speech back only 100,000–200,000 years — a blink in evolutionary time — to explain why we still assume our texts and emails land exactly as intended, and why they so often don't. He and host Peter Winick dig into a favorite (and least favorite) example: the customer satisfaction survey. Whether it's a car dealership coaching you to "circle the five" or a flight attendant joking about the inevitable post-flight survey, Granger shows how well-established science like goal-setting theory gets bent out of shape the moment it collides with real incentive structures. There's also a candid look at what it takes to write a book while holding down a demanding day job — from years of scattered iPhone notes to a publisher's cold outreach that landed within days of deciding to write one. Granger and Winick talk through the tension every corporate thought leader faces: how do you promote your ideas without it feeling like self-promotion? Granger's answer — "I'm selling the message, not myself" — anchors a broader discussion of why academic rigor and real-world readability don't have to be at odds. The episode closes on a personal note: Granger's hope that more leaders will get comfortable with hard conversations with themselves, and a few concrete ways to start — from a two-minute daily reflection borrowed from Marshall Goldsmith to a monthly sit-down with your future self. If you've ever wondered why your best-intentioned message got read the wrong way, or why your company's survey scores don't tell the real story, this one's for you. Three Key Takeaways: • Our brains are running outdated software. Granger's "evolutionary hangover" concept explains why we instantly judge people as "abrasive" or "rude" — a tribal survival instinct that made sense on the savanna but creates friction in modern offices and customer interactions. • Good science can get gamed by bad incentives. Goal-setting is one of the most well-established practices in organizational psychology, but Granger shows how tying compensation to survey scores (like a car dealership's NPS rating) corrupts the very measurement it's supposed to improve. • Selling ideas isn't the same as selling yourself. Granger reframes self-promotion as message-promotion — a mental shift that let him push through years of book marketing discomfort because he believes the underlying research deserves to reach people. Ben isn't the only one turning years of hard-won research into a book built to scale. Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal have just released The Thought Leadership Handbook: How the Experts Elevate Their Big Ideas—and How You Can Too — a field guide drawn from more than 700 conversations on this very podcast, mapping out the frameworks and five "thought leadership avatars" that separate an idea stuck in your head from one that actually reaches an audience. If Ben's path from scattered iPhone notes to a USA Today bestseller has you thinking about your own expertise, this is the next book on your list.

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, host Susan Lambert, Ed.D., does something a little different, sharing her own research alongside that of her guest, Sonia Cabell, Ph.D. Together, they trace how Sonia's large-scale Institute of Education Sciences (IES) study directly inspired Susan's dissertation, and what that process reveals about how evidence in literacy education actually gets built. Susan and Sonia also discuss what Sonia's IES study on content-rich literacy instruction found; how Susan's own dissertation research built directly on those findings; what it really means for research to "accumulate" and why it matters for classroom practice.Show notes:Sign up for our fall Literacy Data and MTSS Week.Listen to Sonia's previous Science of Reading: The Podcast appearances:Deconstructing the Rope: Language comprehensionResearch, comprehension, and content-rich literacy instructionRead Sonia's book, Strive-for-Five Conversations: A Framework That Gets Kids Talking to Accelerate Their Language Comprehension and Literacy.Learn more about the Florida Center for Reading Research.Check out Sonia's IES study.Listen to Reid Lyon, Ph.D., on Science of Reading: The PodcastEmbracing the complexity of learning to read, Part 1 and Part 2Systematizing literacyListen to Season 3 of Amplify's Beyond My Years podcast.Subscribe to Susan's new Science of Reading Substack.Join our Science of Reading community Facebook group.Connect with Susan Lambert.

Dealership advertising is nothing new. But where those ads are being shown and the strategy behind them is always evolving. With new advertising channels and changing customer behaviors, it can be difficult getting your ads in front of the right audience by doing it the way it's always been done. Today, Greg's catching up with Owen Moon, CEO at DealerStream. Owen was on Connected 131 back in 2024 and it was great to hear about his new focus in the industry - connecting dealerships to customers through advertising on popular streaming platforms. In this episode, Greg and Owen discuss: -The value of streaming platforms as advertising opportunities, especially with the growth of that audience. -How to capitalize on a mid-funnel approach, capturing customers before they've made their decision. -Ways dealerships using streaming advertising today are seeing success. If you're looking for ways to increase your dealership visibility and reach, or are just interested in other advertising opportunities, give this conversation a listen! And don't forget that Amplify 2026 is happening on August 10 and 11. The event brings together some of the brightest minds in automotive to share ideas, best practices, and innovations that are shaping the future of the industry. We'd love to have you join us there!

Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Investigative journalist Mandy Matney is best known for doggedly pursuing and unraveling Alex Murdaugh's financial crimes against his 100-year-old family law firm and its clients in the low country of South Carolina. Mandy's coverage of and in-depth investigation into Murdaugh's legal dynasty family began in 2019, when a boat crash involving 19-year-old Paul Murdaugh resulted in the death of 19 -year-old Mallory Beach. Mandy's relentless reporting continued through 2021 with the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh and extensive trial of former attorney Alex Murdaugh, who was eventually found guilty of their murders. However, in 2026 he was granted a new trial. Mandy told the story via the hugely successful "Murdaugh Murders Podcast" which led to the Hulu miniseries "Murdaugh: Death in the Family", on which Mandy served as executive producer. On 7/13/26, Judge R. Keith Kelly, Hampton County, SC, issued a contempt order against Mandy and ordered her to pay $176,500 in attorneys' fees and a fine for "wilfully" failing to appear for a deposition on March 27 2026 in the case of Beach v Parker, et al, in which she is a non-party. Of note is that the deposition did go ahead 11 days later. In this episode, Laura and Mandy carefully examine the timeline of events, the courtroom proceedings and the wider implications-not only for Mandy, but for investigative reporting more broadly. Laura also shares her analysis of patterns of behaviour of those who stalk and harass and how common it is for courts not to understand motivation, threats and the ‘dripping tap' power and control related intimidation tactics used by men against women. #MandyMatney #Murdaugh #PressFreedom #InvestigativeJournalism #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Stalking #Fixation #Obsession #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime More from Mandy Matney and LunaShark Support Mandy directly: Go Fund Me LunaShark LunaShark Premium Links: Youtube https://youtube.com/channel/UC6t_kdvrDw2p1F79IBnnNWQ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/truesunlightpod Facebook https://www.facebook.com/109188244940222 Tiktok https://tiktok.com/@lunasharkmedia Clip https://www.youtube.com/live/0wmHESgSHSA?si=ASJBdEm_VAvkqGKI Sources https://www.fitsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Matney-Contempt-Order-13July2026.pdf S.C.

This is a very special episode of Compounders: number 100. To celebrate that milestone, my guests on the show today are Alex Rubalcava and Connor Sundberg, Managing Partner and Partner, respectively, at the early-stage VC firm Amplify LA. Alex and I have been friends for many years, and it is an absolute treat to finally get him on the podcast. Alex recently merged his firm, Stage Venture Partners, into Amplify, where Connor was already a Partner. In this intriguing conversation, we covered: The rationale for the merger of the two investment firms; How they expect decision making and sourcing to change going forward; The idea of focusing on companies that are tackling challenges that are different and hard; Their current views on the pre-seed and broader venture capital investment universe; and How the SaaS-pocalypse is and isn't impacting how they view investing in enterprise software companies.
Episode 437 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Nick LaRovere, CEO & Co-Founder of Pryzm. It seems obvious that selling to the U.S. federal government is complex, especially if you aren't one of the traditional defense prime contractors… but it doesn't have to be that way. Pryzm is out to help companies level the playing field. As I was preparing for this podcast, I learned about things like “J-Books” – the massive justification documents that outline the federal spending budget. While this budget information is public, these documents are notoriously long, dense, and difficult to navigate. This seems like a logical use case for AI. But while many AI tools attempt to simply wrap public data to write proposals, Pryzm goes far deeper. Founded by a team of Colby alumni with backgrounds at Palantir and Lockheed Martin, Pryzm has built an AI-powered command center. The platform unifies market intelligence, relationship insights, and real-time program awareness into a single, actionable view, making it the operating system for federal capture and acquisition. The company recently closed a $12.2M seed funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) through its American Dynamism fund, with participation from XYZ Venture Capital, Amplify.LA, and Forum Ventures. Armed with IL5 and FedRAMP High authorizations, Pryzm is actively modernizing the federal procurement industry. In this episode, we cover: 00:00 Introducing Nick LaRovere, CEO & Co-Founder of Pryzm 04:23 Advice for Building a Startup in the DefenceTech sector 08:55 Nick's Background, Early Influences, & Attending Colby 15:36 Getting his career started 20:06 Early Experiences, including Tesla and Palantir 26:48 Founding Prysm and Its Mission 33:42 Details on the Prysm Platform 36:50 Growth and Scaling of Prysm 40:47 Raising funding from Andreessen Horowitz 45:23 The Importance of Storytelling in Entrepreneurship 46:54 Future Growth and Hiring Plans 47:50 3 Essential Apps 50:25 Book / Podcast Recommendations for Entrepreneurs 52:28 Nick's Hobbies Outside of Work Podcast Sponsor: This podcast is brought to you by one of the strongest longtime supporters of the local startup ecosystem, Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank.

Brian Keane has built a fitness empire that most coaches only dream about — four bestselling books, over 580 podcast episodes, a top 0.5% global podcast, and more than a thousand coaches trained through his mentorship programs. But before any of that, he was a primary school teacher who realized twenty minutes into his first day that he'd climbed the wrong ladder entirely. In this conversation, Brian breaks down exactly how fitness entrepreneurs, gym owners, and online coaches can stay relevant — and even thrive — as tools like ChatGPT and Claude start answering the same questions clients used to pay for. He walks through his SCALE framework for building an unshakeable personal brand, why chasing universal likability is killing more coaching businesses than AI ever will, and the wild story of how a plane ride home from an ayahuasca retreat turned into a 16-hour writing session that became his most recent book.

Introduction Building the model is no longer the hard part of insurance AI. The hard part now is getting underwriters and carriers to actually adopt it. Josh Hollander sits down with Roger Ferrandis, Head of Partnerships at Sixfold, whose AI now runs inside carriers like Zurich, Guardian, and Skyward Specialty, to talk about how trust actually gets built: proof-of-concept by proof-of-concept, underwriter by underwriter, and market by market through partners who already have the relationships. Guest Bio Roger Ferrandis is Head of Partnerships at Sixfold, the AI underwriting platform. Originally from Spain, he spent seven years in the UK, where he co-founded WeAnalyze, an underwriting data startup he helped grow to 25 employees, $3 million raised, and clients on three continents before it pivoted to banking. He chose insurance over banking, moved to New York, and now runs Sixfold's global partner strategy across systems integrators, reinsurers, data providers, and cloud marketplaces. Key Topics -Adoption is the product problem now - Leadership teams know they need AI, hand it to someone to evaluate, and that person's reference point is ChatGPT making mistakes, so skepticism is the default starting position. -How trust gets built in a POC - Sixfold runs known submissions through its AI, compares decisions with the underwriters, feeds their reasoning back into the model, and iterates until 90-95% of outcomes match, which is when confidence flips. -Amplify, not replace - Sixfold is not chasing full automation; the goal is an underwriter handling four submissions in the time one used to take, with clients choosing their own comfort level on straight-through processing. -The ROI stack - Clients measure 50% time saved per submission, quote-to-bind up 15%, and gross written premium per underwriter up 30%. -Partnerships as market entry - Munich Re's Realytix platform, Microsoft's Azure marketplace, Adnovum in Switzerland, and Sollers Consulting in Poland each open doors that direct sales cannot, especially across Europe's twenty-plus selling cultures. -Build versus buy, honestly argued - Sixfold's model has trained on nothing but underwriting for three years, and Roger's warning to carriers building in-house is that the technology shifts faster than an internal build can keep up with. -Involve the underwriters - His advice to carrier leadership: do not delegate AI evaluation and hope for the best, because if underwriters do not buy in, nothing happens. Notable Quotes "We can sell to C-levels. But if underwriters are not happy with our solution, nothing's going to happen." "With that iteration, we get to a point where at least ninety or ninety-five percent of the outcomes of the brain are the same outcomes the underwriter will have. When they see that level of accuracy, that's when we gain their confidence." "If an underwriter used to deal with one submission every hour, we want them to be able to deal with four." "By the time you build something yourself, the whole technology has changed so much that you need to rebuild it."

Great ideas don't always come from the boardroom. Sometimes they come from the service lane, the parts department, the accounting office, or the showroom floor. They're the small innovations and best practices that solve real problems and make dealerships run better every day. In this episode of Connected, Greg sits down with Michael Cirillo, founder of The Dealer Playbook and one of the judges for the Automotive Amplifiers Contest, to talk about innovation in automotive retail and why sharing what works matters more than ever.

You just spent two years writing a book. Now what? That's the question at the center of this conversation about book publicity, expectations, and the long game of building a body of work. Bill Sherman sits down with Sandy Smith, CEO of Smith Publicity, to unpack what a smart book launch actually looks like — and why most of the excitement (and anxiety) authors feel in the 60 days around publication misses the point. Sandy's first move with any client is to ask what success looks like a year out. That reframe — from launch week to long horizon — shapes everything else: how to define goals, how to find the right audience for a big idea, and why a book should be treated less like a product drop and more like a two-to-three-year (or longer) relationship-building asset. The conversation moves through sharp, practical territory: the difference between an audience that's ready for your message and one that isn't (yes, even when they need it most), how publicists match authors to podcasts, bylined articles, and expert commentary opportunities, and why revisiting an author's earlier books can sometimes be more valuable than pushing the new release. Sandy and Bill also talk through the emotional arc of a launch — the pre-launch momentum, the 60-day flurry, and the letdown that can follow once the initial push ends. Underneath the tactics is a bigger idea both return to again and again: books create relationships. They let readers spend time with an author's thinking in a low-stakes, high-trust way, and that trust compounds over years, not weeks. The episode also touches on what makes an idea worth an audience's attention in the first place, and why generosity — not ego — tends to separate thought leaders who build lasting influence from those who burn out chasing a moment. Whether you're planning a first book launch or trying to get more mileage out of one published years ago, this episode offers a grounded, experience-based look at what actually works. Three Key Takeaways: • A launch is a beginning, not a finish line. Treat the book as a two-to-three-year (or longer) asset rather than a 60-day sprint — the real payoff comes from what you do with it after publication week ends. • Define your goal before you plan tactics. Whether the aim is sparking conversation, building visibility, or attracting clients, that goal should shape everything from media targets to messaging. • Audience readiness matters more than audience size. The right strategy meets people who are already primed to hear your idea, then lets them bring others along — rather than forcing a conversation an audience isn't ready for. This episode landed right in the middle of launch week for The Thought Leadership Handbook — the new book from Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal — and everything Sandy Smith unpacked about goals, audience readiness, and building a lasting asset is exactly what's behind it.

In This Episode Business growth doesn't usually stall because people aren't working hard—it stalls because organizations become increasingly complex. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Jimmy Burroughes, founder of JBL High Performance and creator of the Simplify to Amplify® methodology, about helping leaders eliminate organizational friction and build businesses that perform at a higher level. Drawing on his experience as a British military officer and leadership consultant, Jimmy shares how simplifying leadership creates better decisions, stronger teams, and more scalable organizations. Adi and Jimmy explore one of the biggest challenges facing growing businesses: complexity. As companies expand, leaders become overwhelmed with meetings, decisions, interruptions, and constant firefighting. Jimmy explains that most organizations struggle with the same recurring leadership problems, including poor delegation, decision bottlenecks, unclear priorities, and inconsistent communication. His methodology provides practical playbooks that help leaders simplify these challenges into repeatable systems. The conversation also focuses on implementation—an area where both Jimmy and Adi share similar philosophies. Jimmy explains that most leadership programs fail because they teach concepts without addressing the beliefs, habits, and behaviors that prevent leaders from applying them. Together, they discuss why successful implementation requires mindset shifts, accountability, creating bandwidth, and ongoing reinforcement rather than simply providing more information. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that simplicity is not about doing less—it is about removing unnecessary friction so leaders and teams can focus on what truly moves the business forward. When everyone understands the direction, trusts the system, and operates from the same playbook, organizations become faster, more aligned, and significantly more effective.

If your B2B sales process relies on one enthusiastic contact inside an organisation to champion your work, you are one resignation away from losing everything you have built. In this episode of the Selling to Corporate® podcast, Jess Lorimer makes the case that single champion selling is not just risky and is a strategy that actively limits the size of deal you can close and the speed at which you can close it. Jess explains the concept of multiple internal champions: who they are, why they matter, and how building relationships with three to five key people inside each target organisation transforms your lead generation, protects your pipeline, and unlocks bigger, more premium deals. This episode is essential listening for any coach, consultant, trainer, speaker, or done-for-you service provider who is serious about building sustainable B2B revenue in the second half of 2026. Who This Episode Is For Coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers selling to corporate clients Anyone whose B2B sales process depends on a single point of contact inside each organisation Those who have experienced a deal stalling or collapsing because a key contact left, went quiet, or was unable to get internal sign-off Anyone looking to close larger deals, including retainers, licensed content, premium speaking fees, with corporate clients Service providers who want to understand why corporate decision making takes longer than expected, and how to fix it Questions This Episode Answers What is single champion selling and why is it holding back my B2B sales? What is a multiple internal champions strategy and how does it work? Why do corporate deals take so long to sign, and how do I speed up the process? What happens to my sales pipeline when my main contact leaves an organisation? How do I identify and build relationships with multiple decision makers inside the same company? Why are bigger deals harder to close with just one contact, and what should I do differently? How do proactive and passive lead generation work together to support multi-champion selling? Key Takeaways from STC179 1. Single Champion Selling Is a High-Risk Strategy Relying on one internal contact to champion your work inside an organisation is one of the most common and costly mistakes coaches and consultants make when selling to companies. Jess is direct: if that person leaves, takes sick leave, is ghosted by their colleagues, or simply lacks the internal influence to push a decision through, your entire sales process resets to zero. This is not a rare scenario. Decision makers change jobs regularly, take on new roles, or move on to organisations that feel like a better fit. The risk is not theoretical, it is a pattern Jess sees consistently in the businesses of the coaches and consultants she works with. The solution is not to find a better champion. It is to build multiple ones. 2. What a Multiple Internal Champions Strategy Actually Means Multiple internal champions is a term Jess has used since early episodes of the Selling to Corporate® podcast. It refers to the practice of building relationships with three to five people inside each target organisation, not just the primary decision maker. Importantly, not every internal champion needs to control a budget or hold formal authority over the purchasing decision. What they need is relevance: they should be people who would feel the commercial impact of your work, who sit adjacent to the decision making process, or who could provide useful context, internal support, or continuity if something goes wrong. Examples of how internal champions add value: If your main contact is unavailable, another champion can receive a follow-up or help chase a proposal If your main contact leaves, a champion can help you identify who has taken on their responsibilities For larger deals, champions can help build internal consensus before the final decision is made Different champions often have visibility over different budget pots, enabling shared budget conversations that support more premium pricing 3. The Bigger the Deal, the More Decision Makers Are Involved For deals under approximately £15,000, a single decision maker with their own allocated budget and a clear commercial case may be sufficient to sign off. Above that threshold, organisations almost always involve additional stakeholders before committing. Jess frames this plainly: if a company is spending £40,000 or $100,000 on an external supplier, it would be unusual for one person to carry that decision alone. In the same way that a business owner would consult a partner, a financial advisor, or a trusted peer before making a large investment, corporate decision makers sense-check significant spend with colleagues. If those colleagues do not know you, they will go and research alternatives. And if you are not visible when they do, you lose ground even when your proposal is strong. This connects directly to the importance of passive lead generation: if secondary decision makers search for your specialism on Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude and you do not appear, your primary champion is left doing a much harder internal sales job on your behalf. 4. Lead Generation Is the First Point of Quality Control in Your Sales Process A core principle Jess returns to in this episode is that lead generation is not just about volume, it is about qualifying correctly from the very first touchpoint. A qualified lead in the corporate space meets two specific criteria: The person is responsible for your area of specialism within the organisation The person has authority over the budget to pay you Anyone who does not meet both criteria is not a qualified lead. They may be useful to your sales process in other ways, but time spent in extended conversations with unqualified contacts is time not spent building relationships with the people who can actually say yes. Jess is clear that this distinction is not about being dismissive of relationships, it is about protecting the efficiency and effectiveness of a sales process that has to produce consistent results. Lead generation done well sets the quality of everything that follows: business development, proposals, and delivery. Weak or unqualified lead generation makes every subsequent stage harder. 5. Why Deals Appear to 'Take Ages' in the Corporate Space: and the Real Reason One of the most common complaints Jess hears from coaches and consultants new to B2B sales is that corporate deals take too long. Jess challenges this directly: in most cases, slow decision making is not a feature of corporate sales. It is a symptom of talking to the wrong people. When a service provider is speaking to someone too junior to understand the commercial relevance of what they offer, or to someone who lacks the internal influence to advance the decision, the process stalls. It is not the organisation being slow. It is the wrong entry point. The solution is not to wait longer or follow up more aggressively. It is to qualify more rigorously at the lead generation stage and to build relationships with multiple internal champions who can help navigate the real decision making process inside the organisation. 6. Both Proactive and Passive Lead Generation Are Now Essential Jess closes the episode with a clear directive for the second half of 2026: coaches and consultants need both proactive and passive lead generation working simultaneously. Neither alone is sufficient. Proactive lead generation, including cold email outreach, LinkedIn outreach, and other active methods, puts you directly in front of decision makers in a controlled, measurable way. Passive lead generation, such as being featured in curated directories and building AI search visibility, ensures that when secondary decision makers go looking for you independently, they can find you. The risk of relying solely on proactive outreach and a single champion is that when that champion tries to build internal support for your proposal, the other stakeholders who search for you find nothing. At that moment, your champion is carrying the entire weight of selling you in, with no external evidence to support their case. The Selling to Corporate® Five Step Framework The Selling to Corporate® Five Step Framework is the structured sales process Jess teaches to coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers: Step 1: Clarity: Deciding who you are selling to and what transformation you are selling them Step 2: Lead Generation: The process of identifying, targeting, and approaching qualified decision makers to generate sales calls Step 3: Business Development: Building, maintaining, and leveraging relationships so they convert to revenue Step 4: Offers and Proposals: Creating solutions that meet the client's need and articulating them in a way that closes the contract Step 5: Delivery and Resell: Delivering a great client experience and maximising revenue through upsell and resell In this episode, Jess focuses on the intersection of lead generation and business development, specifically how building multiple internal champions at the lead generation stage makes every subsequent step faster, stronger, and more resilient. Key Quotes "If you don't have multiple internal champions at an organisation, you're going to find that sales processes stall, go back to zero, and are much more difficult to be picked up." "The bigger the deal, the more decision makers who are involved. If a company is spending £40,000 or $100,000 on something, do you honestly think they're going to have one person who just says, yeah, cool, I'll make that decision?" "Lead generation is the first point of quality control in your sales process. A qualified lead is a decision maker who is responsible for your area of specialism and has authority over the budget to pay you. Anyone else is not a decision maker."

In this third episode of our four-part adolescent literacy miniseries, Susan Lambert, Ed.D., speaks with Jeanne Schopf, interventionist, national literacy consultant, and editor of the new book Reading Isn't Optional: Fulfilling the Promise of Literacy for Secondary Students. Susan and Jeanne discuss why belief systems about at-risk readers are often the biggest barrier to change, and why that's true at every level of a school system.

In this episode, host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews BioXtreme CEO Eyal Samuel Shachar and researcher Dr. James Patton, PhD about BioXtreme's robotics-based neurorehabilitation devices, with a focus on their Plaxtream hand system. Inspired by founder Nini Bluman's experience helping his father recover hand function after a stroke, Plaxtream combines robotic hardware, engaging game-based activities, and an AI-driven, adaptive error augmentation approach to improve grasp, release, pronation, and supination. Dr. Patton explains how error augmentation—strategically amplifying movement errors within an optimal "sweet spot"—can accelerate neuroplasticity and learning, and he shares clinical findings showing functional gains using standardized measures like Fugl-Meyer and Wolf Motor Function tests. The guests discuss how the device personalizes training based on each person's range of motion and strength, supports patients from early to chronic stages (with both active and assistive modes), and is designed for in-clinic use. They also highlight BioXtreme's rapid, feedback-driven development process, the importance of close collaboration between engineers and clinicians, and new opportunities for therapists to get involved in research, education, and U.S. market expansion efforts.

Welcome to the Win Cycle Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Jeff Troeltsch discuss mental performance in endurance sports, focusing on perfectionism and race anxiety.
