Send us Fan MailDanielle Simon, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships at ActianIn this episode of Partnerships Unraveled, we sit down with Danielle Simon, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships at Actian, to talk about what it means to build a partner ecosystem from nothing. With more than 15 years in strategic partnerships and alliances, the last decade focused on data, Danielle describes herself simply as a builder.Most of Danielle's career has been spent inside startups and scale-ups, where building a partner ecosystem means starting from an ideal customer profile and finding early partners willing to build market demand together, before that demand even exists. Her opening question to a prospective partner is simple: will you get in the market with me, and how can we help each other from day one? She has also become skilled at distilling a joint value proposition into a single sentence, spelling out exactly why two companies are stronger together and precisely when a salesperson should bring that partner into a deal.As data infrastructure has become the foundation for AI, Danielle has watched the market rationalize after an initial frenzy, landing on a simple idea: AI is the engine, but governed, secure data is the fuel. That shift has blurred what partners actually do, with resellers picking up services work and independent software vendors selling their own products, so she leans on regular cadence and a clear read on each partner's strengths, whether that is a particular cloud platform or a specific AI use case, to know exactly which partner to bring into which conversation.Danielle's advice echoes her own path: partnerships is a high-friction job most never fully understand, so find your community and keep learning from it, whether that's a program built around cocktails instead of tiers, or a global network like Women in Alliances.Key TakeawaysA Career-Long Builder Thrives on Starting From Zero. Danielle spent over 15 years across marketing, public relations, and now strategic partnerships, with the last decade focused on data infrastructure and AI. She describes herself as a builder who is most energized inside startups and scale-ups, where a partner ecosystem has to be created from scratch.Early Partnerships Start With Mutual Market Entry. Instead of asking a new partner to open their book of business right away, Danielle opens with a simpler question: will you get in the market with me? That approach builds trust quickly while still solving a real problem neither company could solve alone.A One-Sentence Value Proposition Speeds Up Sales. Danielle has trained herself to distill why a partnership works into a single sentence her sales team can repeat, naming the partner's strength and exactly when to bring them into a deal. If she cannot explain it that simply, she treats it as a sign the partnership needs more work.AI Runs on Governed, Secure Data. Danielle sees AI as the engine and governed, secure data as the fuel, which means the most interesting opportunity for partners right now is helping companies apply AI to their own business, not the AI technology itself. She calls the current environment a consultants market, since most companies are still early in that journey.Partner Roles Are Shifting as AI Blurs Lines. Resellers are picking up service work and software vendors are selling their own products, so Danielle keeps a regular cadence with partners and tracks each one's specific strengths. That knowledge is what lets her team know exactly which partner to call for a given customer situation._________________________Learn more about Channext
In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with Charles Stull, Senior Director of Performance Nutrition at the UFC Performance Institute, for a fascinating look behind the scenes at what it actually takes to help some of the world's highest-performing combat athletes prepare, recover, and compete at their best.Charles shares his journey from Division I swimming and competitive Muay Thai to becoming a sports dietitian and eventually joining the UFC Performance Institute. What began as a two-dietitian operation has grown into a global performance nutrition team supporting UFC athletes throughout their preparation, fight week, recovery, and everything in between.Ben and Charles dive deep into the details most fans never see. Charles breaks down the science behind weight cutting, dehydration, rehydration, nutrition, recovery, and how fighters can strategically rebuild their bodies between stepping on the scale and stepping into the Octagon. It's an incredible look at how much precision goes into the moments before the bright lights ever turn on.But the lessons go far beyond fighting.Charles explains that the highest performers don't simply have goals and purpose—they build a “moat” around themselves. They protect their energy, create the right environment, surround themselves with people who support their pursuit, pay attention to what they consume, and eliminate the distractions that slowly pull them away from their STANDARD. Those seemingly small decisions are what allow great performers not only to reach the top, but to stay there.Charles also opens up about his own BURN and the influence of his mother, who challenged him from an early age to discover his limits. That mindset led him toward difficult pursuits throughout his life—from swimming to Muay Thai to one of the most demanding areas of performance nutrition—because he continually chose the harder path as a way to strengthen his mind, body, and spirit.This conversation is a reminder that elite performance isn't built only in the moments everyone sees. It's built through preparation, discipline, recovery, environment, and an obsession with the little things.Whatever YOUR arena is, ask YOURSELF: Are YOU paying enough attention to the details that could take YOUR performance to another level?************************************Connect with Charles Stull:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_angry_dietitian/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/charles.h.stull************************************Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fcrOAPfiH98Listen on all platforms: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben's latest book The STANDARD: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693Qlogix: www.Q-logix.com/benhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet's work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a messageOrder my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewmanConnect with me everywhere else:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

Recorded in person at the 2026 AEP State Conference in San Diego, this episode features longtime AEP leader and former Environmental Leadership Chronicles co-host Laurel Glass Lees. She moves to the guest seat to share how her career went from sampling storm drains to leading environmental permitting for long-duration energy storage. As Senior Director of Development Permitting, North America, at Hydrostor, Laurel permits advanced compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) projects, which store energy by compressing air into purpose-built underground caverns. Laurel discusses what it takes to permit large-scale energy infrastructure in California: working closely and transparently with host communities, how the California Energy Commission's process differs from traditional CEQA review, and how mitigation requirements and land scarcity affect the cost of clean energy. She also reflects on how a fascination with economics and the environment shaped her path, and why a CEQA background is an asset in a development role.

David Fung spent 15 years at Salesforce as a Senior Director before walking away from unvested RSUs to launch Coachful Coaching. He now coaches CTOs and tech leaders on the pattern he calls "AI whiplash" — the daily standup that becomes a pivot, every single morning. In this episode, David introduces his three-part Wait-Trade-Designate framework, explains why self-leadership must come before people leadership, and makes the case that subtraction — not addition — is the real power move for scaling founders.Key Takeaways0:00 Company cultures that treat introspection as weakness produce leaders who don't know themselves.2:44 The skills that made you exceptional early — speed, decisiveness, idea generation — become quietly destructive at scale.4:44 David left Salesforce on his own terms, walking away from significant RSUs to pursue coaching full-time.8:19 Leaders were promoted for generating ideas fast. At scale, you need to be a better idea filterer, not generator.10:24 "AI whiplash" — the standup that produces a new pivot every morning. It's happening across every industry.13:50 Leaders can assess their team's strengths but freeze when asked to validate their own against honest feedback.18:26 Self-leadership first. Burnout in your people is a projection of yourself.19:31 Wait-Trade-Designate: Wait 48 hours. Name what gets traded. Designate a naysayer with zero career consequences.25:08 Ego-attached founders kill companies. An idea came from you — but it is not you.30:37 Fluid intelligence (young founders) + crystallized intelligence (experienced founders) — you need both on a team.33:00 Change your personal KPIs at scale. Success shifts from "my output" to "my team's success."37:17 Three moves: subtraction is the power move. Strategy needs patience. Tactics need urgency — but tactical impatience kills strategy.39:46 Flip to people-first. Same outcomes, happier people.40:34 People-first isn't frictionless. Seek diverse input, decide definitively, own the why. One boat — in or out.45:21 Jeff's takeaway: Sit on your next idea for 48 hours. Leadership isn't having ideas — it's knowing which ones deserve the room.Tweetable Quotes"In the age of AI, your biggest leadership problem isn't too few ideas — it's too many." — Jeff Mains [4:24]"If you're in it for the money, get the hell out right away. Money is an outcome. The things you do and how you do it — that's what drives your success." — David Fung [7:21]"We need to be even better at discerning the best ideas. Better idea filterers, not better idea generators." — David Fung [9:22]"If your people are burnt out, it's a symptom of yourself. It's a projection of yourself." — David Fung [19:07]"If you cannot name what your team needs to trade off, there's a problem — and the problem is probably you." — David Fung [20:36]"It came from me, it came from my mouth, but that's all it is. It's not me." — David Fung on detaching identity from ideas [26:40]"Subtracting things off people's plate is the power move, not addition." — David Fung [37:35]"Empathy does not mean I absorb all their emotions. Empathy means I understand where they're coming from." — David Fung [43:00]"It's either you're in the boat or you're out of the boat. We have a business to run." — David Fung [42:04]"Leadership isn't having the ideas. It's knowing which ones deserve the room." — Jeff Mains [45:51]SaaS Leadership Lessons6 SaaS Leadership Lessons1. Stop generating. Start filtering. The skills that got you promoted — speed, decisiveness, rapid idea generation — are the same ones that create team whiplash at scale. In the age of AI, your competitive advantage isn't more ideas; it's better discernment about which ideas are worth pursuing. Shift your identity from "the person with the ideas" to "the person who decides which ideas survive."2. Use the Wait-Trade-Designate framework before every new initiative. Before pushing a new idea to your team: Wait 48 hours and let it slow-cook. Trade — name the specific project or initiative that gets dropped. If you can't name what's being traded, the problem is you. Designate a trusted naysayer with explicit permission to push back with zero career consequences. If this feels hard, that means it's working.3. Change your personal KPIs when you scale headcount. Your success metric at 3 people (personal output) is toxic at 50 people. Your new KPI is whether your team is hitting their goals. Helping them achieve — not doing it for them — is the work. This frees you to spend time on what actually matters: where the market is going, how to get two cycles ahead of competitors, and how to kick their butt.4. Detach your identity from your ideas. Ego-attached founders kill companies. When a customer criticizes your approach and you take it personally, you lose the account, the reputation, and eventually the business. An idea came from you — but it is not you. Build the discipline of putting ideas out there and then joining others in beating them up. The best leaders don't just tolerate pushback; they engineer systems that require it.5. Flip to people-first — but keep the decisiveness. People-first doesn't mean frictionless or slow. Seek diverse perspectives before deciding, then decide definitively and communicate the why. Roughly 30% of your team won't like the call — that's okay. Empathy means understanding where they're coming from, not absorbing their emotions. Once the decision is made: there's one boat. You're in or you're out.6. Strategy needs patience. Tactics need urgency. Know the difference. Most leaders kill their own strategy by treating every tactical AI idea as urgent. Strategy requires a 3, 5, 10-year horizon. Tactics need speed. But when tactical impatience drives constant pivoting, your strategic vision dies by a thousand standups. Use Wait-Trade-Designate to protect the strategy from the tactics.Guest Resourcesceo@coachfulcoaching.comcoachfulcoaching.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfung2/https://www.instagram.com/coachfulcoachingEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

On Season Seven, Episode Five of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Annemarie Swijtink, President & CEO of McDonald's Canada, for her very first Canadian podcast interview. Annemarie started as a 15-year-old crew member in the Netherlands, studied economics in Rotterdam, joined McDonald's as a marketing intern and went on to lead the Dutch business before taking the top job in Canada a year ago, where she supports franchisees and restaurant teams across 1,500 restaurants.What surprised her most? How Canadian McDonald's Canada really is. Annemarie explains that 85% of the company's supply chain is sourced domestically, including beef, chicken, eggs, potatoes and milk, and shares how vertical farming partnerships now deliver 100% Ontario and BC tomatoes year-round. She makes a clear commitment to keep buying Canadian beef, a promise that dates back to the 2003 BSE crisis, and describes investments in 4-H, young cattle producers and farmer mental health.The conversation also covers food inflation and affordability, including the $5 meal and $1 coffee with prices frozen for a year, the rise of beverages and chicken, protein-forward menus in the GLP-1 era, the "three-legged stool" of franchisees, suppliers and corporate, a "high tech, high touch" approach to restaurant labour and technology, new formats like Winnipeg's first drive-thru-only restaurant, and what McDonald's will look like in five years. Spoiler: the Big Mac stays on the menu. Plus, Sylvain tests just how Canadian she's become by asking about her favourite hockey team.But first, we start with the food and agriculture news of the week. Sylvain unpacks potash politics after President Trump floated replacing Canadian potash with supply from Belarus, explaining Canpotex, the global potash cartels and why Canada's geography remains a competitive advantage. We look at Canada–India trade talks toward a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement and the opportunities for pulses, grains and pork, then ask whether a Super El Niño will push food prices higher, delay the Prairie harvest or disrupt shipping. Using Grocery Pulse data, we break down the month's biggest grocery price increases, led by strawberries, chicken breast and flour, plus why beef volumes are down and what supply management has to do with chicken prices.We also discuss a major Wendy's franchisee with 314 U.S. restaurants seeking creditor protection, Maple Leaf Foods consolidating U.S. plants, the end of the long Metro strike, a possible Safeway strike in Alberta before Thanksgiving, Sobeys' Competition Bureau agreement on property controls, Nestlé's seized assets in Russia, caviar's direct-to-consumer price shake-up, and Barilla's acquisition of high-protein mac and cheese brand Goodles.

Key Takeaways: Future-Proofing Warehouses Against Real Estate and Labor Crunches In "Future-Proofing Warehouses Against Real Estate and Labor Crunches", Joe Lynch speaks with Senior Director, Market Intelligence at Dematic, Adam Brown, about how automation, software, and high-density storage solve the industry's toughest labor shortages and space constraints. De-risking the Labor Crisis: Dematic replaces physically demanding, high-turnover manual roles with AMRs, AGVs, and Goods-to-Person systems—shifting workers to safer supervisory tasks and insulating operations from labor shortages. Vertical Footprint Optimization: By deploying high-density AS/RS, pallet shuttles, and AutoStore™ integrations, Dematic enables facilities to quadruple inventory capacity vertically without taking on costly new real estate. Scalable Peak-Demand Management: Modular automation (like the Multishuttle®) combined with AI picking allows fulfillment networks to dynamically absorb massive order surges without structural redesigns or operational backlogs. Single-Brain Software Integration: Unified execution platforms (e.g., Dematic Command Center) eliminate disconnected software silos, transforming disparate hardware into a single, self-optimizing operational brain. Flawless Execution & Reverse Logistics Reduction: Automated order sequencing, dynamic buffering, and high-speed sorting strip human error out of picking and packing, drastically curbing the heavy costs of returns and mis-picks. Comprehensive End-to-End Orchestration: Dematic solves warehouse challenges holistically—unifying hardware, software, and dynamic workflows rather than relying on point-solution quick fixes. Protection of Customer Trust & Margins: Accelerating order-to-door delivery while eliminating fulfillment errors directly preserves brand reputation and safeguards profit margins.

The Army teaches Soldiers how to fight, lead and endure. But what happens when the mission ends, and the weight of service remains? In this episode of Army Matters, LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with Major Jake Kelly, an Armor Officer, Army Strategist and author of The Spurs of Service, a collection of poetry inspired by military service, loss, leadership and healing. After losing a fellow Soldier to suicide, and losing two close friends in the Army as well, all in the same year, Kelly spent a long time carrying a grief that he struggled to explain, even to the people closest to him. Writing became a way to process these experiences; and that writing eventually led to a book that has resonated with Soldiers, veterans, spouses and military families alike. Drawing parallels between the lives of Soldiers and cowboys, The Spurs of Service explores sacrifice, duty, resilience, brotherhood and the emotional cost of a life spent serving others.

Strategic marketing for AEC firms starts with a simple discipline: understanding the business before producing the deliverable. Katie sits down with Kevin Johnson, Senior Director of Marketing and Sales Enablement at H.J. Russell & Company, to talk about what it actually takes to build a marketing function that operations leaders trust enough to bring in early. Kevin shares the mindset shift that changed how his team operates, moving from "make this for us" requests to a real seat at the table, and why that shift only happens through relationships, not mandates.Kevin sees marketing and sales as working toward the same goal. Marketing helps build awareness and gives seller-doers the tools and messaging they need to have stronger conversations with clients. But that connection also has to happen internally. Kevin talks about the importance of understanding what operations and technical leaders are dealing with every day, from managing risk and protecting margins to handling urgent job site issues. When marketing understands those pressures, it becomes much easier to get their attention, earn their trust, and work together more effectively. Kevin shares a firsthand look at what it takes to introduce a CRM into an established AEC firm that had never used one before. Instead of rolling it out across the company all at once, his team started small, built the system behind the scenes, and introduced it gradually. As people began to see the value, adoption grew naturally, eventually reaching about 70 percent utilization in a year and a half. He describes the process as “crawl, walk, run” and connects it to another leadership principle he follows: fire bullets, then cannonballs. Start small, test what works, prove the value, and then make the bigger investment once you know you are headed in the right direction.Marketing as a growth partner is the vision Kevin closes on, urging AEC firms to stop treating marketing as a production shop that simply executes requests and start treating it as a genuine growth partner that helps generate leads, strengthen client relationships, and hit the firm's financial goals. For any marketing or business development leader working to build trust between departments, this conversation offers a clear, tested path forward.Key TakeawaysStrategic marketing starts with understanding the business first. Learn the firm's goals and pipeline before producing deliverables, so requests shift from "make this for us" to "here's what we're trying to do."Marketing and sales enablement function best as one growth strategy. Marketing builds the content and positioning; seller-doers put it directly into clients' hands.Introducing a CRM, or any new system, works better as a crawl, walk, run process. Build quietly, prove value in small wins, then scale adoption once trust is established.Understanding an internal client's day-to-day world, their deadlines, risk, and pressure, leads to more collaborative requests and faster responses than transactional asks.The goal is for AEC firms to see marketing as a growth partner that helps generate leads and grow the business, not just a production shop that fulfills ordersConnect with Kevin JohnsonSr. Director Marketing & Sales Enablement, H.

As kids head back to the classroom, families are transitioning from the more relaxed routines of summer to the structure of a new school year. For many households, that also means taking a fresh look at screen time, gaming and other digital habits. The start of the school year offers parents and caregivers an opportunity to reset expectations and establish healthy digital routines that support sleep, homework, learning and downtime. Digital parenting and education experts are available to share practical strategies families can put into place as the school year gets underway, including:Pair parental controls with conversation: Built-in controls, including screen-time and spending limits, can give parents useful guardrails for their child's online experience. But those tools can be most effective when paired with ongoing conversations that help kids develop self-regulation and responsible digital habits.Focus on how kids are spending their screen time: Not all screen time is the same. Gaming can provide opportunities for learning, creativity and collaboration with friends, especially when players become creators on platforms like Roblox. Through Roblox Kids and Select accounts, families can also discover educational experiences in the Learning Hub covering a variety of real-world topics and skills.Understand your child's digital world: Parents can explore the platforms and games their children use rather than simply monitoring from the sidelines. On Roblox, parents can get in the game themselves and use resources such as Family Zone, an immersive game on the Roblox platform, to better understand their child's online experience.Help kids build important life skills: Digital boundaries can be used to teach children how to manage their time, take ownership of their routines and navigate online spaces responsibly.Create consistency between home and school: Aligning digital rules at home with school expectations can help kids understand when it's time to focus on learning and when there's time for gaming and other leisure activities.

From her early days as a Fair & Lovely ad model and a student at Army School Kathmandu earning ₹500 at a Bhrikuti Mandap book fair, to Senior Director at MIT RAISE raising $28 Million from Google, this is the unvarnished story of Rupa Laxmi Shah.

This week, Mark Demeny, Senior Director, Product Marketing at OpenText, joins our host Ian Truscott in the Rockstar CMO studio to discuss the changes in content technology and where the industry is headed as the term DXP, or Digital eXperience Management, is being dropped, and how our enterprise marketing technology platforms need to work with AI. They then move on to the question many B2B tech marketing organizations ask: should product marketing sit under product or marketing? They discuss: The decline of the DXP category and its implications The importance of composable marketing technology and API-first approaches AI's impact on content creation, management, and governance The evolving roles within marketing teams, including product marketing and CPOs Then, Ian moves to our virtual bar, The Rose and Rockstar, and joins Robert Rose, Chief Trouble Maker at Seventh Bear, to explore some fresh research from Andy Crestodina at Orbit Media, following an annual survey of over a thousand content marketers. The headline number in the post was that, after consistent performance over several years, “The percentage of respondents who report 'strong results' dropped to an all-time low of 14%” and Ian and Robert discuss what that means for content marketing.

In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Ambassador Daniel Kritenbrink, former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, and Senior Director for Asian Affairs at the National Security Council, to discuss U.S.-China diplomacy and the upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Drawing on decades of experience engaging with senior Chinese officials, including Xi Jinping, Kritenbrink reflects on Xi's leadership style and China's increasingly confident approach to the United States and the international system. He discusses the role of leader-level diplomacy in managing U.S.-China competition, lessons he learned from preparing for Xi's 2015 state visit to Washington, and what effective communication between Washington and Beijing looks like behind closed doors. They also examine what to expect from the Trump-Xi summit, the prospects for maintaining what Kritenbrink describes as a “fragile truce” between the two countries, and the economic, technological, and security issues that will continue to test U.S.-China relations.

Solomon addresses the troubling trend of denialism surrounding the events of that day, emphasizing the importance of remembering the true nature of the attacks and honoring the nearly 3,000 victims who lost their lives.Joining Solomon is Fred Fleitz, who discusses the alarming efforts by some educators and media figures to reinterpret the motives behind the 9/11 attacks, downplaying the role of Islamist extremism. The conversation highlights the dangers of redefining history and the potential consequences for future generations' understanding of this pivotal moment in American history.Throughout the episode, Solomon recounts personal experiences from that fateful day, including his interactions with Barbara Olson, a victim of the attack on the Pentagon, and the subsequent work he undertook to expose failures in the intelligence community that allowed the attacks to occur. He urges listeners not to forget the lessons learned and the sacrifices made by first responders and military personnel in the years that followed.The episode features insights from Dr. Seb Gorka, Senior Director for Counterterrorism under President Trump, and a discussion with war hero Jack Carr, who shares his perspective on the ongoing fight against terrorism.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
