Yoni is the co-founder of South Col, Escala and Multiply Mii. Yoni, you talked about seeing an opportunity to, increase the multiple when it comes time for exit because of the processes and team that you've built into a business. So why is it so important to focus on the operating system and organizational structure of a business in order to increase? And how does that increase the multiple that you will get? Yeah. Great question.Yoni 00:00:36  Josh. So the way I would approach this, the way that I look at it, taking a step back before we get into the nitty gritty details here, is that what any potential acquirer is looking for or what all of us really are looking for in life, when when you really strip it back is more time, more money and more freedom. And if you can build leverage where you are not a critical part in the delivery and execution of what is happening inside of your business, and then that is a high value form of leverage.Yoni 00:01:08  And so when you sort of bring that back into what SOPs, standard operating procedures, and I would say like more importantly, systems are inside of the business. If you can effectively achieve that in in a meaningful way, then ultimately, you know, I would say like, I'm not the poster child, but but I'm a I'm a product of what I preach in that I'm able to, you know, be involved in three businesses that are each growing at different rates with very different business models attached to them. And that's because we have really empowered the leadership team. We have real clear systems. And so coming back to it for an e-commerce business, the only way for you to grow is to get out of your own way. And so the reality is building systems, building processes, and empowering people to make the decisions. Most of the decisions. You know the predator principle. 80-20. And getting you out of your own way becomes fundamental in your ability to grow your business.Josh 00:02:09  Here's what some different businesses in their organizational or their yeah, their or charts kind of look like for the audience just to spark some ideas.Josh 00:02:18  And as they start to plan out, hey, how do I build up my team and and really scale?Yoni 00:02:23  Yeah, absolutely. Well, actually, before we even dive into that and I'll share as much as I can, you know, there's only a certain number of slides, decks that I have where we've wiped out, like any client references and, and things like that. So I'll share gladly what I can. But you brought up a really important point, Josh, and I think this is where people get things are often really wrong, and I'm guilty of it myself. probably more times than I would care to admit. But you don't want to hire everyone at once, and you want to build incrementally based on the performance and the KPIs. And, you know, you really you keep that up perfectly, because what we're looking at right now on the screen is an org chart back in 2020 of a business that was looking to grow over the course of 2021 into a whole number of proposed roles here.Yoni 00:03:16  So on the screen you can see existing roles, outsource roles, proposed roles and shared existing resources. So geez, I mean, I'd have to like sit here and list out every single person. I would just say, check out the YouTube and you can actually see.Josh 00:03:32  Let's yeah, let's go through just yeah, high level. I mean, even just talking through the org chart, I think that the listeners would find this very, very valuable because again, that was the number one question at Camp Comm is what is your team look like? What is your team look like? so let's let's dive in and spend the time here. Yoni.Yoni 00:03:51  Okay. I'm happy to do that. What I'll also say, and, you know, putting my multiply me hiring hat on, I turn so many people away from working with us as a business. And, you know, while that's not great for our business revenue and profitability growth, I think it's a smart move because if you haven't done this before, if you don't have the right experience, exposure, mentors the right people around you that you can turn to, you're likely going to get it wrong.Yoni 00:04:24  So if you're building out a function or a team for the first time and you don't hire, you know, I like to hire a top down, whereby I'm loo...

Working Girl, directed by Mike Nichols, stars Harrison Ford, Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver, with Alec Baldwin and Joan Cusack. Tess, played by Melanie Griffith, ascends the corporate ladder using her book smarts and street smarts, and by pretending to be somebody she's not. Tess strives to do big things, and has plenty of good ideas to get her foot in the door until she's caught, accused of being an imposter.

At The NAMM Show 2026, Drum Workshop turned its booth into a walk-through of what a modern drum company looks like when craft, heritage, and engineering share the same floor. Scott Donnell, Director of Brand Management at Drum Workshop, Inc., guided us through a lineup that spans the DW Custom Shop, the revived Slingerland Radio King line, Latin Percussion, Pacific Drums and Percussion, and the brand's new DW Manufacturing series. The DW Custom Shop stand is a visible argument for customization as a sonic decision, not just a cosmetic one. Chrome, gold, satin chrome, and black hardware. Polyester sprays, three durable lacquers, exotic plies, and ply wraps. When a drummer specifies wood species, ply count, and grain orientation, they are designing the drum's voice from the inside out. The Slingerland revival gets the faithful-reproduction treatment. Radio King studio kits on display are solid, steam-bent maple shells with the original three-point throw-off and stick saver hoops, built in California. Scott Donnell speaks about the line the way a curator talks about a restoration: get the details right, honor what drummers remember, and let the sound do the rest. Donnell frames DW's innovation as a stack of deliberate decisions rather than a single breakthrough. DW stamps a note into each shell through a process called timbre matching, which ensures the kit is manufactured as a family. Pair that with grain orientation technology, True Pitch tuning, and resonance-focused tom mounting systems, and drummers never end up with an orphan drum in their kit. Marking the tenth anniversary of True Cast, the new DW Manufacturing four by 14 piccolo features a five millimeter sand-cast shell, cast bronze hoops, and fully machined brass and bronze hardware. Only one hundred are being made globally, each arriving in an Anvil flight case. A recent DW video features Dave Elitch and Abe Laboriel Jr. playing the drum with Paul McCartney. The conversation closes on a Red Hot Chili Peppers tour kit gifted to the DW museum by Chad Smith, which will join Neil Peart's and Terry Bozzio's tour kits on display while DW builds Chad new Sonic flight drums for the band's next tour. Pacific Drums and Percussion, LP's top-tuning congas, Tony Escapa's signature hand percussion series, and DWE round out the booth. Drum Workshop is not hiding how the drums get made. Take the tour, take the pictures, watch the videos, and the innovation speaks for itself. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

Perspektivwechsel mit KI: Wie Sonja Kommunikation, Brand und künstliche Intelligenz vereint   In dieser Episode steht Sonja im Mittelpunkt – Kommunikationsprofi, Interimsmanagerin und KI-Enthusiastin. Im Gespräch teilt sie ihre persönliche Reise von der klassischen Unternehmenskommunikation hin zu einer KI-getriebenen Herangehensweise in einem etablierten Mandat. Es geht nicht um Tools bis ins letzte Detail, sondern um das, was wirklich zählt: den konkreten Nutzen für Kunden, Teams und Markenführung.   Sonja Schmid auf LinkedIn: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonja-schmid-think-ai/   Von der Interimsmanagerin zur KI-Vorreiterin Sonja bringt mehr als ein Jahrzehnt Erfahrung aus dem Kommunikationsumfeld mit und war in unterschiedlichsten Rollen unterwegs… vom Krisenmanagement bis zur Leitung ganzer Abteilungen. Doch Anfang 2023 kam ein Wendepunkt: Die künstliche Intelligenz trat in ihr Leben. Zunächst auf der Suche nach etwas Neuem, entdeckte sie, dass KI nicht nur eine Spielwiese für Tech-Nerds ist, sondern ein strategisches Werkzeug, um echte Wirkung in Unternehmen zu erzielen.   Der Seitwärtsmove, der zum Volltreffer wurde Ein neues Mandat, das zunächst nach einem kleinen Schritt aussah, entpuppte sich als Türöffner: Als Head of Digital Communications and Brand Management erkannte Sonja schnell, dass KI dort ungeahntes Potenzial entfalten kann, obwohl es offiziell nie Thema war. Mit der richtigen Brille betrachtet, wurde aus einem „Nebenbei-Projekt" ein echtes Innovationsfeld, in dem sie ihre gesamte Erfahrung, ihre kommunikativen Fähigkeiten und die Kraft der KI miteinander verbinden konnte.   Inspiration statt Tool-Talk Ihr Vortrag beim KI Summit Germany richtet sich nicht an die Hardcore-Techies, sondern an all jene, die sich bisher nicht zu den „KI-Cracks" zählen. Sonja zeigt, dass es nicht darum geht, jedes Tool in- und auswendig zu kennen. Es geht darum, mit offenen Augen das eigene Umfeld zu scannen: Wo kann KI sinnvoll unterstützen?

In this episode of The Leadership Sandbox, Tammy dives into the recent Cracker Barrel rebranding debacle. This corporate misstep, a $700 million gamble aimed at attracting a younger demographic, led to a 14% stock drop and a massive customer backlash. Tammy dissects the four major lies leaders told themselves that led to this catastrophic failure. You'll discover why a brand's most valuable asset lives in the memory and emotion of its customers—and what happens when you strip that away. This isn't just a story about a failed rebrand; it's a critical leadership lesson on the dangers of ignoring your core identity, failing to connect with your audience, and letting financial recklessness get disguised as innovation. Key Takeaways for Leaders Your Brand is an Emotion: A brand's value is rooted in nostalgia and emotional connection. Without it, your brand becomes soulless. The Cost of Ignoring Your Customer: Chasing a new market while alienating your core customer base is a recipe for disaster. Arrogance vs. Integrity: Long-term strategy without short-term integrity is just arrogance. Ignoring customer feedback to push a "modern" agenda is a critical failure of leadership. Financial Recklessness: Understand the difference between a sound investment in your brand and a financially reckless gamble disguised as modernization. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Cracker Barrel's $700 million rebrand led to a massive stock drop and customer backlash. The four communication lies leaders believed that led to this major misstep. How to prioritize brand integrity and emotional connection in your business strategy. Why ignoring customer sentiment is the most dangerous form of leadership. How to avoid being "dead right" by leading with both strategy and humility.

In this episode, we meet with Tia and Sean Edwards, a couple whose journey began at a gas station and led to redefining the bourbon industry. Tia and Sean's Lexington-based distillery, Fresh Bourbon, is on a bold mission to make bourbon accessible to everyone. Their journey is not just about crafting a drink but about reclaiming ownership (a word that speaks volumes to us) in an industry that hasn't always been inclusive.  We recorded this episode with Sean and Tia shortly after an interactive “build-your-own Old Fashioned” tasting experience, led by Nate Taylor, the VP of Brand Management at Fresh Bourbon. Throughout the episode, you'll hear the occasional clinking of glasses as Nate prepares Fresh Bourbon's stunning bar area for the next group of bourbon connoisseurs. If you haven't visited Fresh Bourbon yet, it's worth the trip. And if Lexington isn't in your future, please grab a glass, pour yourself some bourbon (Fresh, if you can), and tune in to this captivating and inspiring episode.

In this special episode from the 2025 AHR Expo, Bryan brings us two fascinating conversations with industry leaders who are shaping the future of HVAC technology and tools. The episode kicks off with Tony Gonzalez from Fieldpiece celebrating their 35th anniversary. Tony shares his remarkable journey from packaging meters in the warehouse to his current leadership role, providing unique insights into the company's evolution. The discussion explores Fieldpiece's pioneering role in developing HVAC-specific testing equipment, particularly highlighting their groundbreaking HS26 meter that filled a crucial gap in the industry when no other company was creating specialized meters for HVAC technicians. The conversation with Tony delves deep into the technical aspects of modern HVAC work, particularly focusing on combustion analysis and its three fundamental pillars: safety, efficiency, and consistency. Tony explains how Fieldpiece's JobLink system has revolutionized the way technicians document their work and communicate with customers through comprehensive digital reporting. The discussion also covers the evolution of refrigerants and POE oils, emphasizing how practices that weren't considered critical in the past have become essential with modern systems and materials. In the second segment, Bryan sits down with Mike and Ashley from Refrigeration Technologies' Viper division, where they share the compelling origin story of their company. Mike recounts how his father, John Pastorello, a chemist who found himself taking an AC technician job in the 1980s, leveraged his chemistry background to develop superior products, starting with their flagship product, Big Blu. The conversation highlights Refrigeration Technologies' impressive growth, including their recent expansion to a campus-like facility with an additional 30,000 square feet and their achievement of making the Inc. 5000 list for three consecutive years. Ashley, their Director of Education and Brand Management, discusses their innovative approach to industry engagement, including their first-ever "Viper Bowl" competition and their commitment to safety in product development. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Fieldpiece's 35-year journey and the evolution of HVAC-specific testing equipment Modern combustion analysis fundamentals and the importance of proper testing The JobLink system and its impact on documentation and customer communication Evolution of refrigerants, POE oils, and critical installation practices Refrigeration Technologies' origin story and growth from a family business to an industry leader Development and innovation of essential HVAC chemicals and tools under the Viper brand The importance of safety in product formulation and application Global expansion and market reach in the HVAC industry Impact of modern technology on HVAC diagnostics and documentation Training approaches and industry education initiatives Company cultures focused on innovation and problem-solving The role of family businesses in advancing HVAC technology   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Listen in or watch as host David Mandell sits down with medical marketing consultant Kristy LaGourgue and aesthetic nurse Rachel Varga to discuss branding and marketing lessons that all doctors can benefit from, whether they own their own practice or not. David begins the discussion by asking Kristy and Rachel the most common mistakes medical practices make with marketing and how to avoid them.  They then chat about the importance of marketing when offering new services or equipment or even bringing on new doctors. The discussion then turns to branding – how an individual doctor can brand him/herself in the marketplace- which not only can be patient-focused, but also to other doctors, who are key referral sources –and even industry for further business opportunities. Finally, Kristy and Rachel speak to the use of social media and how doctors should approach getting started in marketing efforts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Takeaway #1: Having a Clear Marketing Strategy is More Effective Than Piecemeal Efforts. Piecing together different marketing tactics without a clear strategy can lead to poor results. Kristy points out that one common mistake practitioners make is trying “a little bit of this, a little bit of that, hoping something's going to stick.” Instead, she suggests that it's crucial to understand how different marketing activities work together to drive steady patient flow. Rachel supports this point, noting that practitioners often give up too soon or get in their own way due to imposter syndrome or feeling out of their comfort zone. She encourages practitioners to stick with their marketing efforts and to recognize the long-term benefits. “It's really getting also that validation and accolade from your colleagues in the space too, to then position you even further, which might open up the gates for different opportunities on boards and business development deals as well”. In essence, being strategic and consistent about marketing activities, rather than trying different tactics in a piecemeal manner, can lead to better results and open up new opportunities for practitioners. Takeaway #2: Diversifying Practice Offerings Can Lead to New Opportunities. With the rapidly evolving field of medical technology and treatments, diversifying practice offerings can open up new opportunities for physicians. For instance, adding new technologies or treatments to a practice can attract different types of patients, or even create new revenue streams. Rachel explains how one of her colleagues transformed his practice by incorporating group coaching and video training, thus creating a seven-figure business. She says, “So you just don't know what's possible until you start to go down this path.” She also mentions the increasing popularity of concierge medicine and biohacking, suggesting that practices that incorporate these elements are very appealing to buyers. Diversifying practice offerings can, therefore, not only bring in new patients and revenue streams but also increase the practice's value in case of a potential buyout. This diversification, coupled with a strong online presence and marketing strategy, can significantly enhance a practice's success and growth.

Hey everyone, it's Joe Fier from Hustle and Flowchart. Today, I'm thrilled to share insights from my recent chat with Gert Mellak, an expert in online reputation and SEO. Our conversation spanned everything from proactive brand management to the evolving impact of AI on SEO strategies. What's the Episode About? In this episode, Gert and I dive deep into the critical aspects of managing your online reputation and SEO. We discuss how essential it is to control your brand's narrative actively, ensuring consistency across all platforms. Gert shares a unique experiment with a fictional product, highlighting the importance of coherent information online. We also explore the role of AI in maintaining brand presence and the shifting dynamics of platforms like Reddit in affecting web traffic. Proactive Brand Management Gert stresses that, in today's digital world, online information is extensively accessible and can substantially impact perceptions. It's critical to take proactive steps in controlling your brand's narrative. Consistency in information across the web ensures that people get a clear, accurate picture of your brand. Simplicity in Brand Messaging Using the metaphor of educating algorithms like teaching a child, Gert emphasizes the need for simplicity and consistency in brand messaging. Simple, clear language makes it easier for search engines to understand and rank your brand effectively. This straightforwardness helps optimize your SEO efforts. Creating a Personal Brand Website Gert advises creating a personal brand website and interlinking it with your social media profiles to ensure consistency and enhance brand recognition. This central hub can serve as the anchor of your online presence, allowing you to control your information better and present a cohesive brand image. The Power of Consistent Information Gert shares an intriguing experiment where he created a fictional woodworking tool. Through consistent online information across various platforms, he observed significant changes in perceptions. This experiment underscores how critical it is to maintain consistency to shape public views effectively. AI Models Like ChatGPT and Brand Management The discussion touches on the predictive nature of AI language models like ChatGPT, which fill in gaps if information is sparse. Together, we explore how to use AI models to manage your online brand presence by ensuring accurate and consistent content updates. Gert also emphasizes that concise and coherent information helps improve brand representation over time. Managing Online Course Names A business struggled with discoverability because it didn't label its offering as a "course." Gert explains that search engines can't always make connections if keywords or identifiers are missing. Labeling your services clearly helps in better indexing and ranking, which is crucial for attracting the right audience. SEO and Content Structure Aligning your content structure with search engine guidelines is vital for better indexing and ranking. Gert uses the "connect the dots" analogy to describe how search engines work. Ensuring that each piece of content correctly fits together enhances the overall effectiveness of your SEO strategy. AI Evolution and Voice Assistants We discuss the rapid evolution of AI, especially the potential updates in ChatGPT and integration with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. Gert mentions that even Apple might integrate OpenAI technology into its Siri voice assistant. These advancements hint at a more interactive and pervasive AI presence in our daily lives. The Role of Platforms like Reddit Gert sheds light on the shift in user behavior towards platforms like Reddit, where Google has partnered to impact traffic to traditional websites. This partnership has led to significant declines in website traffic, highlighting the need for businesses to engage on platforms where users are active. Engagement Strategy and Platform Leverage Introducing “Platform Leverage,” Gert suggests engaging users on various platforms like Reddit and YouTube conversationally. Participating in discussions on well-ranking threads enhances brand visibility. This strategy mirrors traditional marketing engagement, akin to attending trade shows to directly reach clients. Using AI Tools and Custom GPTs Training AI models, like custom GPTs, to understand and replicate a brand's voice and style is a game-changer. Gert elaborates on creating bespoke GPTs for specific tasks, improving efficiency, and maintaining consistency. Recording and analyzing spoken inputs to inform AI training further help in capturing the brand's essence. Content Creation and Feedback Utilization We delve into utilizing customer feedback to create relevant content. Gert mentions receiving 400 customer reviews, which helped improve several website elements. This approach ensures that content and strategies remain customer-focused and effective.
