Visit https://teachhoops.com/  for innovative culture-building frameworks, team development resources, and cross-industry leadership insights that help you create championship programs by applying proven principles from successful organizations beyond basketball. In this episode, we explore an unexpected but powerful analogy: what can high school basketball coaches learn from how Starbucks built one of the world's most recognizable brands through intentional culture development, employee experience, and consistency of standards across thousands of locations? This isn't about coffee—it's about understanding how organizations create cultures where people feel valued, standards are maintained without constant oversight, and individual contributors take ownership of collective success because they believe in something bigger than themselves. We break down specific Starbucks principles that translate directly to basketball programs: their obsessive focus on the customer (player) experience rather than just the product (wins), investment in training and development that empowers employees (players) to make decisions within established frameworks, creation of a "third place" culture where people want to spend time beyond functional necessity, standardized systems that ensure consistency while allowing individual expression, and leadership approaches that balance high expectations with genuine care for people's wellbeing and growth. You'll learn how these corporate concepts apply to coaching: creating practice environments where players genuinely want to be rather than just showing up out of obligation, developing leadership systems where captains and role players take ownership without constant coach intervention, establishing program standards (your "recipes") that remain consistent regardless of roster changes, and building a culture where being part of your program means something beyond just playing basketball. This episode provides actionable strategies for applying Starbucks-inspired principles to your basketball program: defining your program's core values as clearly as Starbucks defines their mission statement, creating rituals and traditions that build identity and belonging (like Starbucks' partner beverage policy or green apron), investing in player development beyond basketball skills to show you care about the whole person, establishing quality standards with accountability systems that don't require you to micromanage every detail, and building an alumni culture where former players stay connected and pass down traditions to new generations. We discuss why culture can't be faked or manufactured through slogans—it requires genuine investment, consistent modeling from leadership, and alignment between what you say you value and what you actually reward. Whether you're building a program from scratch, trying to elevate an established team to championship level, or simply looking for fresh perspectives on culture development beyond typical coaching clichés, you'll gain insights from one of the world's most successful culture-driven organizations that translate surprisingly well to the basketball gym. basketball program culture, Starbucks leadership lessons, culture building basketball, basketball team culture development, organizational culture basketball, basketball program standards, culture-driven basketball, team culture strategies, basketball leadership lessons, program identity basketball, basketball culture framework, team belonging basketball, basketball standards consistency, culture building strategies, basketball program traditions, player experience basketball, basketball culture investment, leadership culture basketball, basketball team identity, cross-industry coaching lessons, basketball culture principles, program culture Learn more about your ad choices.

Manvir Sandhu is the Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Zennify, a Salesforce consulting firm that helps financial services organizations drive digital transformation across platforms like Salesforce, Databricks, and AI. Under his leadership, Zennify has become a trusted advisor to CIOs and C-suite executives, earned Platinum-level Salesforce partner status and scaled to over 150 employees, serving clients ranging from regional banks to large enterprises.  Known for leading innovative initiatives, Manvir helped spearhead a vaccine supply chain solution in Haiti with UNICEF and the Clinton Foundation, which was presented at Salesforce Dreamforce. He brings a strong focus on AI, agile transformation, and change management to regulated industries. In this episode… Digital transformation is reshaping entire industries, yet organizations in highly regulated sectors often struggle to choose the right tools and execute change effectively. As AI, data platforms, and compliance requirements evolve at breakneck speed, innovation can stall under the weight of risk and resistance. How are today's leaders pushing past these barriers to create secure, lasting transformation? For Manvir Sandhu, a digital transformation and AI innovation leader, lasting impact comes from pairing deep industry understanding with a practical, iterative mindset. He traces this philosophy back to his early work in healthcare, where his team reimagined post-disaster vaccine management in Haiti by combining Salesforce and IoT to enable real-time tracking and alerts — an approach that later became a model for broader adoption. Building on those lessons, Manvir pivoted to financial services, using focused proof-of-concept projects to earn trust, modernize legacy systems, and deliver a true 360-degree customer view. His experience demonstrates how thoughtfully applied AI can move far beyond basic automation to drive meaningful operational and customer impact. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Manvir Sandhu, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Zennify, to explore data-driven transformation in highly regulated industries. They discuss proof-of-concept strategies, agile change management, and practical AI use cases across healthcare and financial services. Manvir also shares insights on empowering early adopters, navigating growth, and maintaining culture through leadership transitions.

This episode is about protecting what actually matters. It is about ensuring that Christmas does not quietly become another period of distraction, half work and emotional absence. Too many men drift through the festive period with one eye on their phone, one eye on work and neither fully present with their family. This training is designed to stop that. I walk you through a simple but powerful system to help you switch off properly, create peace of mind around work and be fully present at home. It is not complicated. It is not fancy. It works because it is intentional and it respects the value of your time, energy and attention. In this episode, I break down a five part blueprint that allows you to enjoy Christmas without guilt, stress or the constant pull back into work. In this episode, I cover: • Why building success from home must remain the non negotiable standard, especially over Christmas • How to identify your true professional and personal priorities so you can switch off with confidence • Why clarity equals peace of mind and how to remove the mental noise that drags you back into work • The three Christmas deadlines every man needs to set, including when to switch off, when to dip in and when to return • How to plan January and Quarter One before Christmas so you return calm, focused and in control • Why completing your audit early frees you to enjoy the festive period without carrying mental weight • How to define the outcomes you want for Christmas and set clear rules around phone use, work, training and boundaries • What to avoid over Christmas and how writing down your worst case scenario helps you prevent it This is about leading yourself properly during a period where most men slowly disconnect from their family and themselves. With a simple plan in place, you can enjoy Christmas fully and return to work with clarity, momentum and strength. If you want to live and operate at a higher standard, this is the work.

In this inspiring episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life hosted by Avik Chakraborty, entrepreneur and coach Jennie Blackwood opens up about the truth behind burnout, motherhood, and business growth. From turning a snack cart idea into a six-figure business to building a global coaching brand, Jennie reveals the hidden costs of hustle culture and how she rebuilt her life around sustainable success. This conversation dives deep into what it really means to thrive without burning out. Jennie shares raw lessons from her own experience — the collapse that forced her to redefine success, how setting boundaries saved her business, and why mindset and self-care are just as critical as marketing strategy. Perfect for entrepreneurs, moms, and creators, this episode challenges the myth that burnout is the price of ambition and reminds us that true success comes from alignment, not exhaustion.   About the Guest  :   Jennie Blackwood is a serial entrepreneur, influencer, and mom of four who built a viral snack cart business that evolved into a six-figure digital coaching empire. Through her platform Cart to Cashflow, Jennie empowers women worldwide to launch and scale profitable businesses without sacrificing their health, family, or peace of mind. Her approach blends practical business strategy with deep mindset transformation — helping women replace burnout with balance and fear with focus.     Key Takeaways: Burnout isn't a badge of honor — it's a warning signal. Recognize the early signs before they derail your vision. Boundaries are a business strategy. Learning to say no is part of saying yes to sustainability. Rest fuels creativity and clarity — not laziness. Self-care is an investment in your long-term performance. Hustle culture is outdated. Digital systems, support, and community can replace constant overwork. Your “why” keeps you grounded. Let it guide your decisions, especially when business gets tough. You are capable of building success on your own terms — one intentional step at a time.   Connect with the Guest   Instagram: socialgraze.charcuterieWebsite: promo.jennieblackwood.com/DM Jennie directly for collaborations or coaching inquiries.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PodMatch — Send a message to Avik Chakraborty

If you're fortunate and diligent, you'll encounter people in your field that are just supremely knowledgable about the details, and willing to talk about them. Audrey Navarro, the Managing Partner of Clemons Real Estate in Kansas City, is one of those people. I've found Audrey to be incredibly nice and pleasant to talk with, but also very ruthless (in a good way) with the numbers and the realities of real estate and development.In this episode, we trace her path that started from a simple duplex house hack, to now running a company with hundreds of apartments, commercial properties and even a construction arm. I particularly love how she says, “We sell math, not buildings. If you can get creative with the math, you can do just about anything.”Audrey and her firm have also endeavored to work in the “supportive housing” world, and we talk about the trials and tribulations, as well as the possibilities, for anyone taking on that ask. Lastly, we talk about WIRED, which is a very cool effort to encourage women to be more involved in the real estate business.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Send us a textForging powerful business partnerships might be the key to unlocking growth you never imagined possible. When metal building dealers Jared Ledford and Eric Olson (the Steel Kings) faced customers walking away because they couldn't provide concrete services or pole barn options, they didn't just accept these limitations—they transformed them into opportunities through strategic collaboration.Meet Caleb Grimes, owner of GCM Construction and the missing piece in their business puzzle. What started as a simple contractor referral relationship evolved into something far more valuable. Caleb shares how his concrete expertise complemented the Steel Kings' building knowledge, creating a seamless experience for customers who previously had to coordinate multiple contractors themselves.The trio reveals the pivotal moment that changed everything: losing a substantial project because they couldn't offer post-frame buildings. Rather than continuing to turn customers away, they formed a partnership to expand their offerings, effectively capturing an entirely new market segment while maintaining their steel building foundation.This conversation goes beyond mere business strategy, touching on the personal growth required when venturing into new territory. "If you're not willing to get uncomfortable and learn something new, then it's not for you," Eric notes, highlighting how progress demands pushing beyond comfort zones. Caleb adds that local knowledge of building codes and permitting processes creates the trust necessary for customers to move forward confidently with larger projects.Perhaps the most profound insight comes near the end when Jared observes that success without collaboration leads to isolation: "Even if you are successful and you're not taking advice or working alongside others, you're going to be lonely, and lonely is not a good place to be, even if you're successful."Looking to grow your construction business? Listen to how one partnership transformed potential losses into exciting new ventures, and consider what connections might help you capture opportunities you're currently missing.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: J Money LLCShed Geek MarketingRealworks Labs

Vivian Gonzalez is the President of Park Capital Search, a global finance and accounting executive search firm that helps organizations — from private equity-backed companies to public corporations — build senior leadership teams in areas like finance, accounting, data science, and business analytics. With a focus on retained, C-suite and functional leadership assignments, Vivian spearheads senior-level placements that shape the operational health and strategic direction of client organizations. Vivian is a recognized member of CHIEF and contributes thought leadership on efficient and transformative hiring practices for today's rapidly evolving economy. In this episode… Executives stepping into private equity roles often face overwhelming expectations, vague performance goals, and high-pressure environments. Many leaders don't receive clear guidance on negotiating equity or navigating the cultural shift that comes with PE-backed companies. At the same time, firms risk costly mis-hires by failing to define tactical needs during the hiring process. How can both sides align to build strong leadership teams that scale effectively? According to Vivian Gonzalez, a seasoned executive recruiter, success begins with clarity, communication, and advocacy on both ends of the hiring table. Firms must set expectations early and look beyond credentials to assess mindset, humility, and grit. Candidates, meanwhile, benefit from partners who help them package their experience, position their value, and negotiate for long-term upside, including equity. With the right match and support, executives can step into transformative roles that accelerate both personal and business growth. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Vivian Gonzalez, President of Park Capital Search, to explore how executive search drives successful outcomes in private equity-backed companies. They discuss what sponsors really want in C-suite talent, how candidates can break through career ceilings, and why humility and grit are often stronger indicators of success than titles. Vivian also shares stories of executives who turned career stagnation into seven-figure exits — and how her immigrant upbringing and background as a competitive gymnast shaped her leadership journey.
