My guest today was once seen as the “face of failure” in the New York Times, so if there's one thing he understands really well, it's that the road to success is not always smooth. Suneel Gupta learned from his mistakes and went on to found RISE, a breakthrough wellness company recently bought by Amazon. Suneel is now a successful author and host of a docu series called ‘Business Class'. I loved his first book Backable which is about how to get buy-in from others to move your ideas forward, and his new book called Everyday Dharma has a very relevant premise: our job is the #1 predictor of our mental health. And yet, most of us seem miserable with what we do. Dharma is a timeless answer to the emptiness we feel — and a process for bringing joy back into our life and work.Brace yourself for an inspiring and insightful episode as speak with this trailblazing entrepreneur and author. Picture this - the ups and downs of working at huge tech companies, an unexpected summer camp transformation, applying basketball recruitment strategies to a business, and the birth of a wellness company that caught Amazon's eye. The conversation journeys into what it means to turn passion and ambition into your life's work. It involves a 'Game of Now' approach and discovering what truly sets your soul on fire. Oh, and did I mention, he'll also spill secrets on how to go from messy notes to a beautifully written book? Intrigued much?

While I've enjoyed watching Sanjay Gupta over the years on CNN, I have to say, I've learned just as much from his brother Suneel. He's a multifaceted entrepreneur, teacher, and researcher known for his profound expertise in human behavior, energy, and motivation. The founding CEO of RISE, a healthcare startup now owned by Amazon, Gupta notably collaborated with former First Lady Michelle Obama to extend affordable health coaching to those in need. As a celebrated author, he penned the bestselling book "Backable", narrating his transformative journey from setbacks to success. His latest offering, "Everyday Dharma", released on September 5, 2023, masterfully interweaves personal anecdotes, history, science, and both Eastern and Western philosophies to guide readers towards achieving joy and success in every facet of life. Join us as we delve into the insights and stories of this captivating storyteller.

On this episode of the Gartner Talent Angle, author and keynote speaker, Suneel Gupta explains why even some of the best ideas fail to take root. He shares how the lessons he gleaned from interviews with some of the most successful individuals in the world fueled his latest book, Backable: The Surprising Truth Behind What Makes People Take a Chance On You. Suneel shares his own experience of learning from failure, and he explains why before you can convince others, you must first convince yourself. He argues that the greatest enemy to innovation is exhaustion, and leaders must take care of their energy as much as they take care of their time and their talent.   Suneel Gupta writes and speaks about the changing world of work, and how we succeed both externally and internally. He is the bestselling author of  "Backable", which is rooted in Suneel's journey from the "Face of Failure" for the New York Times to the "New Face of Innovation" for the New York Stock Exchange. Suneel is the founding CEO of RISE, which partnered with then first Lady Michelle Obama to deliver low-cost healthcare services to people in need. RISE was named "App of the Year" by Apple and sold in a successful exit to One Medical. Suneel later ran for U.S. Congress and now serves on faculty at Harvard University and as an emissary for Gross National Happiness between the United States and the Kingdom of Bhutan. When a reporter once asked Suneel about his purpose, his response was to “find good people, and inspire them to do what inspires them.” *This episode is an excerpt taken from our 2022 interview.

Mike Salguero is the Founder and CEO @ ButcherBox, the meat delivery subscription service that he has scaled to $600M in revenue, 215 employees and the national leader in the space. All of this achieved while raising $0 of venture capital. Prior to ButcherBox, Mike was the Founder & CEO @ CustomMade, an online marketplace that, unlike ButcherBox, raised millions in venture funding from prominent VCs. In Today's Episode with Mike Salguero We Discuss: 1.) The Makings of a Great Entrepreneur: How did Mike's father not being present in his childhood impact the type of leader he is today?

What are the biggest challenges of running a consumer subscription business? Why did all the D2C food prep and delivery companies fail? What did they do wrong? What happens to all the heavily funded D2C subscription companies of the last 5 years? Why does Mike believe now is the hardest time ever to do D2C consumer subscription? 3. The Secret to Efficient Marketing: How did ButcherBox scale to $50M in revenue with just one marketing channel working? When should founders think about the second channel? How should they choose which one? Why does Mike not like "brand marketing"? How did ButcherBox burn $8.5M on brand marketing? What are Mike's biggest lessons from doing this? What emerging channel does Mike see as having the biggest potential over the coming years? Why does customer acquisition increase with time? Why do elections cause it to increase? 4. The Economics of a $600M Revenue ButcherBox: How much does it cost ButcherBox to acquire a customer? What is their payback period on that customer? How has this change with time? What is the single metric that drives the profitability of ButcherBox? What are the single biggest points of margin in the business? What is the lifetime value of a ButcherBox subscriber? What are the single biggest points of churn in the customer lifecycle? 5. Venture Capital: To Raise or Not to Raise: Why did Mike never raise venture capital for ButcherBox? Has Mike ever sold secondary? Why not? What would Mike most like to change about the world of venture capital? What are his biggest lessons from raising VC with CustomMade? How did that impact how he approached building ButcherBox? What does Mike believe all founders need to know about raising VC?

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classics where we interviewed Suneel Gupta, the author of the international bestselling book Backable (2020). This book is rooted in his inner journey from twice-failed entrepreneur to becoming a leader behind two IPOs and being named “The New Face of Innovation” by the New York Stock Exchange. The book reveals the mindset shifts and hidden habits of people who are extraordinary at pushing new ideas forward. It shows how the key to success is not charisma, connections, or even your résumé, but rather your ability to persuade others to take a chance on you. As the founding CEO of RISE, a breakthrough wellness company, Suneel helped thousands of people establish a way to personalize their physical and mental health journey while connecting with certified nutritionists and trainers at an affordable price. The company was named “App of the Year” and partnered with then first-Lady Michelle Obama before being acquired by the NASDAQ-listed company One Medical Group. In 2022, with its acquisition of One Medical Group, RISE is now part of Amazon. As visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School, Suneel researches and teaches the interconnection between inner well-being and outer leadership. He is also emissary for Gross National Happiness between the United States and the Kingdom of Bhutan. Suneel is currently the host of Business Class, a docuseries created by American Express where he showcases entrepreneurs and business visionaries who embody struggle and resilience. He is joined on the show by guests like Top Chef's Tom Colicchio, former monk Jay Shetty, and Martha Stewart. Suneel has also personally backed ventures including Impossible Foods, AirBnB, 23andMe, and SpaceX. He was one of the very first investors in CALM, which now helps millions of people achieve a greater sense of work/life balance.

Getting to the core of what makes a deal backable is at the forefront of anyone who is involved in search. That was the subject of this panel at last year's inaugural EtA Forum, which brought together four people involved in search in different ways to share their experiences. The key theme driving the conversation is, as the moderator, Paige Kohalmi says, “the searcher plus a good opportunity, and the right funding structure, is what makes a deal backable.” These three elements are equally core, and any investor is going to consider those three things closely, giving them equal weighting, before supporting an acquisition. One of the highlights from the panel was when the panellists discussed three different companies, in different sectors and with different profiles. They were asked to choose which of the three they liked most as a candidate for an investment. The fact that all three panellists chose a different first target just goes to highlight how subjective this process can be. Every investor and searcher is going to evaluate risk in a different way and, ultimately, come to a different conclusion. That does drive home the importance of character in the searcher and who they've got backing them, too. The capabilities of the searcher and what they will bring to the business can go a long way to strengthening the numbers sitting behind the business. The panel also covered a subject that is worth keeping in mind, that the downside with search is more protected than it would be with a VC or startup, because the business is already established and earning revenue. There's no point in looking at a business that hasn't proven this or hasn't got strong recurring revenue (or there are clear risks to that revenue), and margins are a key data point that can make a business very attractive. Overall, this is a fascinating panel for anyone who is interested in better understanding the thought processes that factor into deciding which searches to back. Connect with Paige Kohalmi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paige-kohalmi/ Connect with Sahil Shekhar: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sahil-shekhar/ Connect with Tom McGhie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommcghie/ Connect with Lui Pangiarella: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luipangiarella/ What we discussed: 1:25 Paige introduces the panel and topic for discussion. 2:45 Tom kicks off the discussion with his perspective of placing debt – what makes a deal backable? 4:50 Sahil describes his approach to identifying opportunity and how to find a deal to be involved with. 7:16 From the perspective of an investor, Lui discusses the importance of resilience. 10:43 “Simplicity” is a core concept with funding. Lui and the panel discuss what that word means to them. 12:42 The panel segues to discuss balancing the share of upsides. As someone who has been involved in both search and investment, Sahil shares his perspective. 16:57 Summarising the discussion to date, Paige says “the searcher plus a good opportunity, and the right funding structure, is what makes a deal bankable.” The next question is – is one of these elements more important? 18:26 The panel is presented with three companies, and asked to pick apart the opportunity of each. 25:44 An extended Q & A with the panel. 21:49 Pete provides a summary and analysis of the key findings from the panel. Key quotes: Tom: “The most important thing in deciding whether a deal is bankable from a debt perspective and where we should place that deadline is actually the searcher the people involved.” Sahil: “Both as a searcher and as an investor, you're trying to protect the downside, and to reduce business risk. There is a bit of operator risk, because there's a transition in owner operators, so what you're trying to really protect against is other downsides.” Lui: “Recurring revenue is what we would put as our number one priority. If the business has got 90% recurring revenue, you know that you're going to survive next year. It's as simple as that. It's why project-based businesses don't work in search. Because if you don't replace the revenue that disappears, you've got a failure.” Tom: “From a debt perspective, there is no transactional efficiency in adding mezzanine finance in a deal that might be four or five million dollars. Or even thinking that you're going to do that.” Sahil: “There is more risk for an operator than they would be in a private equity environment.” Sahil: “From the investor point of view, you want to know that the searcher is committed, and will stick through with a company and in hard times… there are some deals where searchers are putting on director guarantees, and underwriting debt themselves personally, or making other significant personal contributions. There are many ways to get comfort on how all-in the searcher is.” Lui: “There is no scenario where the wrong searcher will actually give us the right opportunity and right structure.” Tom: “There is absolutely no benefit to a debt provider to thinking through the future trajectory, in terms of the opportunity upside, if the business hasn't been proven today, or hasn't been performing to this point.”

After founding a company called Rise, Suneel Gupta began to study leaders who he deemed as "backable" — people who are able to convince people to take a chance on something new.

He will be the keynote speaker at the Medical Alley 2023 Summit in February, and chatted with MAA President and CEO Bobbie Dressen to share more about his work and about what Summit guests can expect to hear from his speech at the Four Seasons in Minneapolis.

This year, the Australian EtA and Search Fund community is looking forward to its first big event for the region. The EtA Forum (www.etaforum.com.au) will be held at the Manly Pacific Hotel, on Manly Beach in Sydney, on Friday 16th September. In this episode I speak with Paige Kohalmi, Founder at Greenstorm Capital. She will be hosting a panel discussion at the forum, with a focus on how Searchers can make their deals more backable… and find those backable businesses in the first place! Paige will interrogate a panel of investors to learn exactly what they're looking for in a deal and how best to get them over the line. Paige is six months into her own Search and has recent, relevant experience sourcing, assessing and pitching potential deals to investors, so she is perfectly placed to get to the bottom of investor expectations for the benefit of the Forum audience. Please stay tuned as we count down the days and be sure to yell out if you have any questions or comments to offer, so we can make the EtA Forum a great event for all involved.

Quotes: I think a big learning has been, how to use the different investors that I have on board and the different people within the community at large and where they can come in and be useful at different stages as well There's another part of me that kind of thinks that rite of passage is something that's almost necessary as part of your evolution as a searcher as you're thinking through these things, and probably makes you stronger for it. What has definitely evolved in the last six months is getting a much better understanding of how to come up with that perfect deal. That is that unicorn that kind of suits everybody. The key message there is that there are multiple ways to look at an opportunity and consider a deal. And not only that, but there are different levers that can be pooled and changed and dynamics of that deal structure that can make it more attractive, and or less attractive, and how you can change that. Because you do have to, as the searcher, balance all of these different opinions and take them into consideration. So you don't want to get through the process and then not have that support at the end of the day. And also being reflected back to myself as well and constantly checking in with - is there still a deal that that I want to back myself in and that I want to potentially relocate my family for and change my life. I think that community pot has just it gave me the confidence first and foremost to even do what I'm doing.

On this episode of the Gartner Talent Angle, author and keynote speaker, Suneel Gupta explains why even some of the best ideas fail to take root. He shares how the lessons he gleaned from interviews with some of the most successful individuals in the world fueled his latest book, Backable: The Surprising Truth Behind What Makes People Take a Chance On You. Suneel shares his own experience of learning from failure, and he explains why before you can convince others, you must first convince yourself. He argues that the greatest enemy to innovation is exhaustion, and leaders must take care of their energy as much as they take care of their time and their talent.   Suneel Gupta writes and speaks about the changing world of work, and how we succeed both externally and internally. He is the bestselling author of  "Backable", which is rooted in Suneel's journey from the "Face of Failure" for the New York Times to the "New Face of Innovation" for the New York Stock Exchange. Suneel is the founding CEO of RISE, which partnered with then first Lady Michelle Obama to deliver low-cost healthcare services to people in need. RISE was named "App of the Year" by Apple and sold in a successful exit to One Medical. Suneel later ran for U.S. Congress and now serves on faculty at Harvard University and as an emissary for Gross National Happiness between the United States and the Kingdom of Bhutan. When a reporter once asked Suneel about his purpose, his response was to “find good people, and inspire them to do what inspires them.”

How is it that some people can convince others to back them, is its personality, style, charisma? No, says Suneel Gupta, author of the new book Backable. Explaining that creativity and persuasion are not the same thing, Suneel shares how his book can help the well-intention strengthen their conviction and enable them to successfully share their insights and ideas.    Using failure as a foundation for learning and growth, Suneel explains that conviction is contagious and the importance of unique insight in establishing value. Being backable, he says, isn’t about being the most outgoing or charming person in the room, it’s about being the most confident in your ideas and intentions.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Suneel Gupta, author of the book “Backable. The surprising truth behind what makes people take a chance on you,” said on Ryan Hawk's Learning Leader Podcast, “A jazz musician one told me that when he goes onstage, he goes up with confidence. He has confidence not that everything will go right, but believing that when it goes wrong, he has the ability to recover.” Gupta went on to say, “The reps are building a recovery muscle that give you the ability to bounce in and out of situations and figure it out.”

What is that “it-factor” which helps people stand out, think creatively, build confidence, reduce crippling anxiety, and convey their ideas effectively? In his latest book Backable, Harvard instructor and author Suneel Gupta reveals the long-held secrets from executives at iconic companies, breakthrough artists, military leaders and venture capitalists, and curates them into steps that anyone can follow when a backable moment presents itself--whether that be a pitch, an interview, a presentation, or an audition. Attendees will learn: What it means to be backable What to do when a backable moment presents itself Advice for standing out in a competitive job interview The 4C’s of Your Circle - and who should be in it What is the “Game of Now” and the three words that hold us back The key to success is not talent, connections, or ideas, but the ability to persuade people to take a chance on your potential. Ask yourself: When was your backable moment? Who took a chance on you? Purchase Backable on Amazon to learn more before or after the seminar.

Suneel Gupta on Breaking it Down with Frank MacKay - Author Of Backable Part 2 by Frank MacKay

Some people seem to get all the breaks, new gigs, interesting and challenging projects, or support for their business idea. Why? What is so special about them? After being featured in a New York Times article about failure, Suneel Gupta decided things needed to change in his career and this is the question he set out to answer. Suneel interviewed Hollywood film producers, venture capitalists, military leaders and executives at iconic companies and he shares what he learned. We also hear from Australian backers what they look for when they are deciding who and what to fund. And spoiler alert, the key to being backable is not charisma. GUESTS:  Suneel Gupta, co-author of Backable: The Surprising Truth Behind What Makes People Take a Chance on You. Julie Demsey, startup advisor and investor Nick Peace,VP corporate and investments at Planet Innovation Matt Allen, CEO Tractor Ventures Producer: Maria Tickle

Whenever you're faced with what looks like a massive failure, you can either be an ostrich and bury your head in the sand or be a peacock and say, “I'm owning this.” That is what Suneel Gupta, the founder of RISE and author of Backable, learned from his experience. Imagine spending your whole career trying to paint a picture of success, only to become a poster child for failure. That is exactly what happened to Suneel as he tried and failed to pitch his idea of a one-on-one nutrition coaching platform to one naysaying investor after another. Put that on top of halted startups, canceled projects, missed promotions, and missed opportunities and you've got the perfect person for The New York Times to label as “The Face of Failure.” How does one get back up from that? You'll be surprised how deceptively simple the answer is.

Suneel Gupta wrote an amazing book entitled, "Backable: The Surprising Truth Behind What Makes People Take a Chance on You." Listen as he describes what YOU can do to become Backable.

No one makes it alone in this life. We all need people to say "yes" to support us and to back us. But there is a reason why some people can get others to believe in them, to invest in them, while others cannot. And that reason has little to do with talent, connections, experience pedigree, or even a perfect business plan. Backable people seem to have a secret quality that inspires others to take action and take a chance on them and their potential. So, what is this "it-factor"? And can it be learned? This is a crucial question. It is more important than ever to be backable in a world that is speeding up. It is more important than ever to not get left behind, especially in a time where millions will be reentering the workforce or changing their career and life direction after the pandemic.

Suneel Gupta teaches innovation at Harvard University and is the author of the book Backable: The Surprising Truth Behind What Makes People Take a Chance On You.

Are you currently not where you think you want to be? (Read that again)! Where you're at is a reflection of your current ability and decisions.  We all feel that we're smarter than the next person - that we know more and can do more - but are we just unlucky or perhaps we haven't had the same opportunities. That's a good fairytale. To change trajectory, you will decide to be one of two types of people; those who decide to never breakthrough, and those who say “here is where I'm at, here are my deficiencies, and here is what I need to change to get where I want to go.” So which will you choose to be today? Embracing change and the unknown is the gateway to all the answers we need as business owners to access all the things we want to achieve. When this idea becomes part of who you are, you strangely might find that you become a person who finds peace in evolution and beauty in the consistent execution of fundamentals. In this podcast dive into how you can fall in love with the frustrations of mastering the fundamentals, and why those who practice this eventually make the complex look easy.   Join the Backable community Below  Member's FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/backable Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13903426/ Podcast: https://www.podfollow.com/backable Backable IG: https://www.instagram.com/backableai/ Tim's IG: https://www.instagram.com/timkrotiris/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu5iJiD0VT6hEOS_EgcAGjw?

Something we have all done at one stage on our business journey is hide our gaps, whether it's a gap in knowledge, a gap in offering or even a gap in confidence but what if by hiding these so-called gaps we are actually holding ourselves back fro growth, from assistance or from becoming the type of business our clients actually deserve.   Today Tim and Elana share some the elements that they once hid but have now faced and become proud of and the profound effect it has had on them personally and for their clients.   Its a really interesting discussion.
