Most GTM teams are stuck in a 10-year-old playbook — Anthony Enrico, Founder and CEO of LeanScale, shows how to break the cycle. Previously Head of RevOps at Boast.AI, where he helped scale the company past $20M ARR, Anthony now advises and enables dozens of founders and revenue leaders to engineer growth without burning headcount. He also shares how they help high-growth startups scale RevOps with a lean, efficient GTM motion. Specifically, Anthony discusses:(05:25) Startups replace brute-force growth with RevOps to boost revenue per FTE.(15:49) Most teams underinvest in the brand despite its long-term impact.(20:29) Use a data warehouse — not your CRM — for unified reporting.(25:18) Clay transforms RevOps with scalable, integrated data enrichment.(30:48) Default uses AI to route leads and trigger workflows across tools.(35:42) Amplemarket targets fundraisers and job changes with precise outreach.(40:28) AI is most effective when humans fine-tune for quality and authenticity.(44:44) Early days are easiest — scaling means harder niches and messaging.(54:46) Bootstrapping forced them to hire fewer, better people and build processes early.(01:03:33) A solo GTM dashboard tracks pipeline, ops and conversion rates.Resources Mentioned:Anthony Enricohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonyenrico/LeanScale | LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/leanscale/LeanScale | Websitehttps://www.leanscale.teamAmplemarkethttps://www.amplemarket.com/Clayhttps://www.clay.com/Ocean.iohttp://ocean.ioDefaulthttps://www.default.com/ChurnZerohttps://churnzero.com/Riversidehttps://riverside.fm/This episode is brought to you by:Leverage community-led growth to skyrocket your business.

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Philippians 3: "Our Boast"

In this sermon on Jeremiah 9:23–24, we're reminded that although we are tempted to chase wisdom, power, and wealth, God calls us to something far greater. Rather than boasting in earthly success, we are called to boast in knowing and understanding the Lord—and who alone is worthy of our hope, trust, and devotion.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN. For more information, visit LegacyRBC.org.

This sermon explores how believers can persevere through trials by responding with faith and trust in God, rather than relying on external circumstances. It emphasizes rejoicing in God's goodness, submitting to His plan, seeking wisdom through prayer, and ultimately, boasting in God's sufficiency regardless of one's economic status. The message encourages both the materially poor and the wealthy to fix their focus on divine grace and eternal hope, recognizing the transient nature of earthly possessions and the enduring promise of a crown of life for those who remain steadfast under trial.

Text: Prov 27:1 ESV1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.-Prov 27:1 ESV DO NOT BOAST ABOUT TOMORROW No human being can infallibly predict what will happen in the future. Some occurences in life are predictable like sunrises and sunsets. Certainly, most are uncertain and unpredictable. A wise person do make plans, don't they? (Prov 16:3; 20:18; 24:27) But, they must take their fallibility and humanity into account. Making well-reasoned choices is different from arrogantly ignoring risks. Otherwise, he will be found boastful.The word "boast" translates a Hebrew root word rendered as "praise" later in this passage (Prov 27:2). This means no one should praise himself for what he hasn't yet accomplished. A popular statement warns "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched," no one can be sure that all eggs necessarily become birds. The things our human minds expect to happen might not happen, so we shouldn't speak of them as absolute guarantees. Such is the attitude criticized by the apostle James (Jas 4:13–16). He said, “13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”He explains, "You do not know what tomorrow will bring" (v.14). Life is not only uncertain, but it is also brief. Rather than having presumptions and overconfidence, we should approach the future with a sense of humility. "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that" is a better attitude (Jas 4:15). Thus, Solomon warns us to trust God and not our hearts. He said, “5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.”[Prov 3:5-7]-------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Jim from the Oh So So Podcast as we discuss the latest developments in the summer transfer window including Arsenal adding Eberechi Eze to their list of left wing targets along with Manchester CityThe Crystal Palace ace would be a cheaper option than Real Madrid star Rodrygo, who is also on Arsenal's radar. Eze became a target for Tottenham after they briefly looked at a deal for Brentford ace Bryan Mbeumo, who now appears destined for Manchester United. Spurs have also agreed a deal to sign Oliver Boast from Leeds, with a seven-figure sum agreed for the 16-year-old. He is behind Harry Gray in the pecking order, with Gray regarded as one of the best young strikers of his generation in the country. Spurs, of course, signed Harry's brother Archie in a £40M ($55m) last summer.

oasting in Weakness: The Paradox of Spiritual Strength explores the counterintuitive biblical principle that our weaknesses can become our greatest source of spiritual power. Based on Paul's revelation in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, this message unpacks how God's power works best through our acknowledged limitations. Instead of hiding our weaknesses or making excuses, we're invited to embrace them as opportunities for divine strength to manifest in our lives. Learn how the statement 'when I am weak, then I am strong' transforms our approach to challenges, failures, and personal limitations. Discover practical ways to access God's strength in areas where you feel inadequate, whether in your thought life, relationships, past failures, or health challenges. This teaching includes a powerful real-life example of a worship leader finding supernatural strength in a moment of complete inadequacy. If you're struggling with perfectionism, self-reliance, or feeling insufficient for your calling, this message offers biblical wisdom on how the Holy Spirit can guide you daily and transform ordinary moments into divine appointments. Explore the spiritual discipline of dependence and learn how to leave a legacy of strength in the Lord rather than human accomplishment.

Mark continued in the book of Romans with an emphasis on verses 3:20-31 through 4:1. The theme of today's lesson was based on the many Bible translations or interpretations today, especially focused on words in Romans 3:23-24. Faith and Christ Works will not justify us in God's covenant of faithfulness. The passage can read faith in, of,from,or through the saving work of Jesus Christ. Mark provides 5 criteria that translators use to argue the meaning of these verses. Boasting The best we have is not enough to qualify us for the kingdom of God. We can only boast of God's saving work for us. We are saved by faith. Boast only in the cross of Christ. Faith and Abraham God had our salvation planned before humans were formed in the Garden of Eden. His promise extended to Abraham a sinner, but one who trusted God and deemed righteous. Points for home: Be blessed, thankful, and grateful Listen to Mark give us a deeper understanding of these Roman verses according to various Biblical translations. Jesus Christ lived in covenantal purity. We will reach the same place even with different emphasis or views along the journey. Sin is worse than we think, and it requires God to deal with it. God is the Saver, and Jesus is the Savior.

Faith nullifies boasting and glorifies grace. Wherever faith looks, it sees grace behind every praiseworthy act. So it cannot boast, except in the Lord.

Trump sells his tariff agenda as a jobs boom for American workers — but it's a smokescreen for a global attack on labor. At home, new factories are routed to anti-union states, while Trump's appointees quietly dismantle the NLRB to block worker organizing. Abroad, tariffs target export economies like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, fueling layoffs and driving down wages to benefit U.S. corporate margins. It's a calculated campaign to suppress labor power worldwide. But the chaos it's unleashed — from domestic legal battles to global economic disruption — suggests the plan may be backfiring. Even some of Trump's allies are starting to question whether the madness is strategic… or just madness.

As humans, we spend so much time boasting. We do it to defend ourselves, earn respect, or seek after love. The Bible tells us instead to boast in Jesus. It is in knowing God, His love, and redemption that we discover the reason and power of this boasting.

Today,we're looking at Luke 16:19-31. The subject of this passage is hell. I'll neverforget my very first message to preach in 1973 as a student at LibertyUniversity, then called Lynchburg Baptist College. It was in the back diningroom of the Echo Village restaurant in Winchester, Virginia, and the title ofmy message was "Hell Is No Joke." As I said yesterday, God used thispassage to alert me to the reality of eternity in hell if I did not receiveJesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Asa child, I had been encouraged to memorize Mark 8:36-38: "For whatshall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Orwhat shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" That verse, alongwith this passage of Scripture on hell, reminded me as a 19-year-old teenagerthat I would face eternity in hell if I did not repent of my sins and trustChrist as my Savior. I had to make a choice, and I came to the reality that Idid not want to spend an eternity in hell for a few years, (10, 15, 20, or even50 years) of pleasure on earth. It would not be worth it. The Holy Spiritconvicted me of my sin, woke me up, and I trusted Jesus to come into my hearton February 21, 1971. My life has never been the same, and I'm thankful forthis passage. Somepeople don't like to talk about hell, but it's a reality. Some don't like totalk about death, but it's a reality. In this passage of Scripture, there aretwo men: a rich man and a poor man. One was very, very rich—we don't know hisname; he's anonymous, but he was a real man. Jesus said, "A certainman." Then there was a very poor man, a beggar named Lazarus. Oh, he had aname—Jesus named him because Jesus knows His sheep by name, and they followHim.  Thereality is, it doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor, educated oruneducated, famous or unknown. There is one equalizer for all of us: death. “It'sappointed unto man once to die, and after this, the judgment” (Hebrews9:27). “Our lives are but a vapor; they appear for a little time and thenvanish away” (James 4:14). Proverbs 27:1 says, "Boast not yourselfof tomorrow, for you know not what a day may bring forth." Thereality of death is always before us. Sometimes we dread or avoid funeralsbecause they remind us of that reality. It was at a funeral for his cousin,killed in Korea, that my dad woke up to the reality of facing eternity andhaving to die one day. That realization led him to a pastor to ask aboutsalvation, and he got saved. Our family's life changed forever, and my lifechanged when I met Jesus. My friend, I'm telling you, you do not want to go toa terrible place called hell. We'lltalk more about the place of hell, but right now, we're emphasizing the factthat there was a certain beggar and a certain rich man, and they both died.They both died, but where they went was two different places. When they died,the beggar was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man alsodied and was buried. Abraham's bosom, as we study Scripture, was a place calledSheol in the Old Testament, the place of all the departed dead. It had twocompartments: a paradise side and a Hades side. We see that from this passage.Jesus told the thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me inparadise." We'llgo into more details about what we believe this place is, where it is, and howlong it will last tomorrow. But today, the reality is that there is a placecalled hell, and one day we will die. We'll either go to a place of paradise,which today is heaven, or we'll go to a place called hell, the place of eternaltorment. We must make a choice—that's the reality of it. What is your choicetoday? Have you trusted Christ? If not, why not? Today, why not make the LordJesus Christ your Savior, invite Him into your heart, and find true salvationas you repent of your sins? Today,will you fix your eyes upon the cross of Jesus Christ and trust Him to be yourLord and Savior?
