SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE What if your brain wasn't broken… it was just built for something different? This week, we're joined by Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organisation and host of the ADHD Skills Lab podcast. A former academic turned business strategist, Skye was diagnosed with ADHD during her PhD, and it changed everything. Skye Waterson is the founder of Unconventional Organisation, an international support service for professionals with ADHD. Diagnosed during her PhD after repeated burnout, she's built a business that helps entrepreneurs and executives with ADHD (or suspected ADHD) build sustainable systems, scale their companies, and actually enjoy the process. Her approach is science-backed, realistic, and built around how ADHD brains actually work. Since then, she's coached over 800 ADHD entrepreneurs to stop spinning their wheels and start building businesses that actually work for their brains. Her approach blends science, systems, and soul, with a whole lot of relief for the brilliant-but-overwhelmed founder. If you've ever struggled with focus, felt buried in unfinished projects, or wondered why traditional productivity tools just don't work for you, this conversation is your permission slip to do things differently.

What if the future of affordable housing doesn't come from prefab or 3D printing, but from building vertically integrated factories that travel to where homes are needed most?In this episode, I sit down with Aleksandr Gampel, co-founder and COO of Cuby Technologies, to talk about their radical approach: Mobile Micro-Factories. Instead of shipping oversized boxes across the country, they bring a full factory on-site – producing windows, panels, framing, and even helical piers locally, then assembling homes with unskilled labor.We get into why housing costs have exploded (up 40–50% since pre-COVID), how Cuby's system cuts hard costs by reducing skilled labor, and why most prefab and modular ventures have failed. Aleks explains how their vertically integrated model works, why they're targeting small-to-mid-sized builders instead of one-off homeowners, and what it will mean when dozens, or even hundreds, of mobile microfactories are running across the U.S.We also dive into design: steel tube framing, magnetic facades, and the surprisingly elegant logic behind Toyota's production system applied to housing. If you've ever wondered how we might actually build cost-effective, durable homes at scale – without sacrificing beauty or quality – this episode is worth your time.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Housing Challenges02:53 The Concept of Mobile Micro Factories05:35 Manufacturing Process and Product Offerings08:24 Building Systems and Structural Integrity11:17 Cost Management and Market Strategy14:05 Design Flexibility and Market Demand17:07 Community Development and Housing Affordability19:53 Operational Dynamics of Mobile Micro Factories24:43 Building Efficient Factories with Unskilled Labor27:30 The Role of Automation in Construction28:54 Phased Business Plan for Housing Production30:34 Funding and Capital Efficiency in Startups32:33 Design Versatility and Limitations in Home Building34:10 Long-Term Vision and Growth Strategy35:15 Innovative Problem Solving in Construction39:13 Challenges of Prefabrication in the Housing Market41:33 Material Science Innovations for Housing43:11 The Journey of Co-Founding a Startup44:33 Connecting with Cuby TechnologiesCONNECT WITH ALEKSANDR GAMPELLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamaleksandrgampel/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/agampel1 Cuby Technologies: https://www.cubytechnologies.com/ CONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/ 

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Which growth drivers are fueling your agency right now? For today's featured guest, the answer is clear: thought leadership. It's the single biggest driver consistently bringing his agency the best opportunities. While it can be difficult to separate genuine impact from vanity metrics, the deliberate effort to position both himself and his agency as industry experts has proven invaluable for growth. But building that kind of authority doesn't happen by accident. It requires intentional work—stepping onto stages at conferences, showing up in interviews and podcasts, and, just as importantly, encouraging your team to create and share content of their own. In this conversation, he breaks down the strategies that help expand thought leadership beyond the founder, and why agency leaders must remember: expertise is a long game, one that compounds over time to deliver lasting results. Chris Long is the VP of Marketing at Go Fish Digital, a full-service digital marketing agency specializing in SEO, paid media, and content marketing. Over the past 3–4 years, Chris has been leading the charge on marketing and sales for the agency, driving new business growth and experimenting with different channels to see what really works. Spoiler alert: it's not just ads or conferences—it's something much bigger. In this episode, we'll discuss: Thought leadership as your agency's best growth lever. Scaling thought leadership beyond the founder. Building the right systems to encourage your team to create content. Why Content ROI takes patience.

The Growth Lever Most Agencies Ignore: Thought Leadership Recently, Chris has taken an experimental approach to his agency's growth, testing growth drivers like Google ads, LinkedIn ads, and conferences, and found that thought leadership consistently stood as the biggest growth drivers; one that couldn't be replicated. Forget chasing the latest ad hack or praying your next conference booth delivers ROI—what's consistently driven their biggest, best deals has been showing up as experts in their space. However, thought leadership is hard to measure. It often looks like vanity metrics—views, impressions, shares. But when you zoom out, it's the stuff that actually moves the needle. The more the agency doubled down on creating content, sharing insights, and putting their expertise out there, the more deals they closed. Not just more deals but better ones, with stronger close rates. If you're still waiting for the perfect ad funnel to save your pipeline, you might be missing the obvious. Start building your authority in public. Share your wins. Share what you know. Because thought leadership compounds, and that trust is what gets prospects off the fence. Why Expertise is the Foundation You can't fake thought leadership. It all starts with real expertise. In Chris' words, “the reason someone's going to choose an agency, especially as you start to sell larger deals, is they have to be convinced you're an expert in something.” That doesn't mean you need to be the everything agency. In fact, the opposite. It could be as narrow as being “the best B2B or SaaS web dev shop.” The point is: prospects need to believe you've mastered your corner of the world. That foundation comes from who you hire, the culture you build, and how you innovate—whether that's through proprietary tools, processes, or just being damn good at your craft. In the case of Go Fish, that expertise showed up in real wins (like when their founders innovated on Geico's site and saw traffic spike 2,000%). Those moments of innovation fueled content, which positioned the agency as leaders. And that cycle of expertise, innovation, and thought leadership became a growth engine. Scaling Thought Leadership Beyond the Founder In the early days, thought leadership was usually founder-driven. You're the face, the credibility, the spark. But as Chris points out, that won't scale. At a certain point, you need the team creating and sharing insights too. For them, that meant encouraging everyone to post, write case studies, and share wins. Sometimes it was as simple as, “Hey, we crushed conversions on this client's landing page—let's write about it.” By empowering their team, they kept thought leadership flowing, even as the founders had less time for it. Thought leadership can't be a one-man show forever. As an agency grows, the founders have less time to spend on the day-to-day operations. If you want authority to scale with your agency, bake it into your culture. Train your team to see insights worth sharing. Make content creation part of the job, not an afterthought. The Biggest Mistake: Not Sharing at All So what do most agencies get wrong? They don't share anything. Too many people assume, “Everything valuable has already been said.” Or they think their insights aren't groundbreaking enough. But as Chris points out, “What's obvious to you isn't obvious to everyone else.” That's why simpley sharing SEO best practices on LinkedIn got him traction. What he thought was “table stakes” turned out to be news to his audience. And the more he shared, the more inbound leads followed. If you're holding back because you don't think your perspective matters, think again. Your experience has value—even if it feels basic to you. Building Systems for Thought Leadership If you want your team to start sharing their knowledge, you have to get intentional. At Go Fish, they didn't just hope employees would write content—they built systems: Every new hire had to write two blog posts a year. They tracked contributions in their project management system. They created two career tracks: one managerial, one based on thought leadership as an individual contributor. That last part is huge. By tying thought leadership part of promotions and career growth, they gave employees a real incentive to contribute. Chris himself went from manager (which he admits wasn't his strong suit) to a senior role via the thought leadership track. The lesson here is that if you want consistent content, make it part of how you hire, measure, and promote. Don't just “encourage” thought leadership—bake it into the agency's DNA. The Evolution of Content: From Blogs to Video Back in the early 2010s, blogs were king. One of Go Fish's founders wrote a massive guide on reputation management on the Moz blog that spun up an entire new agency vertical. That was the play then. Today, however, the game has shifted. According to Chris, video on LinkedIn and Twitter is where the biggest impact happens now. Video humanizes your agency. It takes the mystery away for prospects who are wondering: “Who would I be working with? Are they innovative? Do I trust them?” Webinars have also proven effective—letting people go deeper on topics, showcase expertise, and generate leads from long-form content. But the principle stays the same: meet people where they are, with content that builds authority. The Patience Tax: Why Content ROI Takes Years With content creation, you can't expect results in six months. Here's the brutal truth: content is a long game. To do content you can't think even on seeing results in six months. It may take years. Chris has gotten clients that thought about him when they needed an agency because they saw him speak at a conference two years prior. ROI doesn't always show up on a quarterly P&L—it compounds over years. The same goes for video content. Rarely does someone listen to one episode and instantly buy. Instead, they binge for months or years before making a move. That's why consistency matters more than intensity. As Chris said: “I post every day, whether I feel inspired or not. It's about the habit.” If you're evaluating content success after three or six months, you're cutting yourself off too early. Play the two-year game. The deals waiting for you are bigger than the “quick wins” most agencies chase. Consistency compounds. Virality is a bonus, not the goal. Strong Opinions and Deep Dives Win Attention So what type of content catches people's attention? On social media, where everyone seems to be shouting the same advice over and over, you can't be afraid to stand out. Take a stance. Neutral content gets ignored. As Chris points out: “Strong takes do well because people either comment to agree or argue. Either way, the algorithm loves it.” Go deep. Technical, niche content might feel too in-the-weeds, but it builds trust. Posts dissecting patents, experiments, or tools often outperform fluff. You may not think that really long niche content could do well, but people will absolutely watch a three-hour tutorial that proves a creator's expertise—and will come out trusting them more. This is the heart of thought leadership: demonstrating expertise in public. Clients don't want generalists. They want to see you know your stuff, inside and out.

On this transformative episode of the “Better Than Fine” podcast, host and wellness coach, Darlene Marshall, helps us rethink everything we know about self-care. Tired of the endless influencer-driven trends, fluffy hashtags, and the message that wellness is something you buy? Darlene takes us back to the roots, uncovering how self-care originated in social justice and chronic illness spaces, and how it became a commodity in recent years.

Discover how habits, routines, and feedback loops can work together to support your physical, emotional, and higher order needs without cognitive overload or decision fatigue. You'll learn why self-care isn't selfish and how it enables you to show up more powerfully for yourself and others.

Send us a textIn this insightful episode of the Business Growth Talks podcast, Mark Hayward dives into the transformational lessons extracted from Michael E. Gerber's influential book, "The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It." This discussion is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are eager to break free from the burnout cycle and scale their operations effectively. Through a detailed exploration of Gerber's core lessons, Mark empowers listeners with the strategies necessary to transition from merely working in their businesses to successfully working on their businesses.The episode kicks off by debunking the "Entrepreneurial Myth," which is the misleading belief that skill in your craft automatically translates into business success. Throughout the episode, SEO-friendly themes such as small business growth, entrepreneurial freedom, and systematization are thoroughly explored. Mark breaks down Gerber's nine essential lessons, emphasizing the importance of system-building over dependency and the need for a balanced approach among the technician, manager, and entrepreneur roles. Listeners are encouraged to adopt a strategic mindset, documenting processes and creating clear organizational structures even if they are solopreneurs, in order to elevate their ventures from self-reliant jobs to thriving, self-sufficient businesses.Key Takeaways:Understanding the Entrepreneurial Myth: Possessing a skill doesn't guarantee successful business ownership; you must build a business model around your expertise.Balancing Business Roles: Every entrepreneur plays the roles of technician, manager, and entrepreneur; neglecting any of these roles can hinder business growth.Systems Over Dependence: Establishing systems facilitates business growth and sustainability; without them, you're merely creating a job for yourself.Documentation is Key: Logging processes and tasks is crucial for scaling and sustaining business operations, especially for solopreneurs.Personal Development Equals Business Growth: The business is a reflection of the owner's skills and organization; personal development directly impacts business success.Resources:Michael E.

Episode Overview: In this episode, John Kitchens together with Al Stasek and Jay Kinder tackle one of the most overlooked truths in real estate growth: sustainable momentum doesn't happen by accident — it's engineered. They break down the real levers that drive success — belief, environment, and systems — and show you how to harness them in a shifting real estate market. They unwrap why most agents stall out, how to identify the hidden “boat anchors” dragging you down, and why cutting them is the non-negotiable move if you want real growth. This is a deep dive into execution, mindset shifts, strategic planning, and how to leverage AI to not just survive but scale faster than ever. Whether you're trying to get unstuck or push from six to seven figures, this episode is loaded with real talk, powerful frameworks, and tactical advice that will challenge you to think — and act — bigger. Key Takeaways: Belief drives momentum: Without belief in your vision, everything else collapses. Your level of belief determines your level of action — if belief fades, momentum dies. Environment is a growth hack: Who you surround yourself with either fuels or fractures your belief system. Success leaves clues — proximity matters more than ever. Momentum is math: It's not luck. It's tracking the leading indicators — like quality conversations per day — and understanding what fuels your flywheel. Boat anchors must go: Identify the habits, people, and distractions weighing you down. Understand the true cost of inaction and commit to cutting what no longer serves you. Results > Education: People don't want another course; they want a problem solved. Whether selling homes or recruiting agents, the offer must deliver a clear, desired outcome. Strategic Planning every 90 days: Escape overwhelm and pivot faster by installing a 90-day strategic cycle. If you're stuck, your next breakthrough will come from clarity and prioritization, not hustle. AI is your leverage tool: Learn how Jay and the team use ChatGPT, Grok, and custom GPTs to automate communication, summarize meetings, and enhance follow-up without sacrificing personalization. Master marketing, not just cold calls: Outbound is dying. The best online marketers will outpace the best cold callers. Build inbound systems that attract and convert. Customer-focused, not competitor-obsessed: Stop worrying about the competition. Winning businesses obsess over solving customer problems — and that's where domination happens. Sustainability over short-term wins: Systems, processes, and retention-focused strategies ensure you're building something that lasts beyond today's market conditions.

What truly determines success in creating lasting change? Contrary to popular belief, it's not motivation, willpower, or even your inherent abilities. The research reveals something far more fundamental: your ecosystem shapes your outcomes far more than your genetic makeup.  Your zipcode matters more than your genetic code.  How do we shape ecosystems that bring the best in us?  From Silicon Valley entrepreneurial ecosystems to Blue Zones where centenarians thrive. The social dimension of change proves particularly powerful, with studies showing proximity to high performers can boost your productivity by 15%, while nearby low performers can decrease it by 30%.  When designing for sustainable change – whether for yourself, your team, or your organization – we often focus on motivation and clear communication. But what happens when energy wanes, time disappears, and routines get disrupted? This episode introduces the critical concept of "guardrails" – systems designed specifically to prevent failure when people are at their worst.  Ready to transform how you approach change?  Discover why social accountability outperforms willpower, how to design ecosystems that naturally encourage positive behaviors, and practical strategies for creating guardrails that catch people when they fall. Whether you're a leader driving organizational transformation or someone committed to personal growth, these research-backed tools will fundamentally change how you approach the change process. Listen now to build systems that make change stick – even when the going gets tough.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the show Brought to you by Angela Shurina EXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

Are you caught in the loop of thinking you need to learn just a little more before you take action — or feeling totally stuck when it comes to choosing the right tools for your practice?In this full-length Feelings and Finances episode, I'm answering two powerful questions from therapists working through real-life challenges. Edgar, a Money Skills for Therapists grad, shares their story of moving from insurance to a successful cash-pay practice — and now wondering how to balance learning with doing, and how to stay grounded while being a self-advocate as a queer therapist of color. Rachel, who's new to private practice, opens up about the overwhelm of deciding which services are worth paying for — from billing support to HIPAA-compliant email tools — all while managing ADHD and a full client load. I dig into how to figure out the real emotional cost of certain business tasks, how to recognize when it's time to stop gathering information and start taking action, and how to make spending choices that truly fit your brain and your values. If you're wrestling with questions around growth, capacity, and trusting yourself in business, this episode is for you.For a full transcript of the episode and much more, check out the blog post on our website! https://moneynutsandbolts.com/?p=18099 To watch a video version of this, check it out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eQS6WN_JcBM Have a question for Linzy?

What if you could reclaim hours of your time each week—just by documenting and automating the simple tasks you're already doing? In this episode, I sit down with Glen Young of Cold Springs Organics, a Farm Marketing School member and automation-building wizard, to talk about how he's using Zapier + AI to automate processes in his farm business—from order management to email marketing, lead tagging, customer onboarding, and even abandoned cart follow-ups. Glen shares how he went from juggling everything manually to building smart, scalable workflows that save him time and create a better customer experience. He walks us through his "white belt to black belt" automation philosophy, shares the tools he's using (and loving), and explains how he's using ChatGPT to document and coach his systems into existence.
