Learn how to become unignorable and cut through the noise in today's AI-saturated market In this episode, I sit down with messaging and visibility expert Melanie Benson to explore how to become unignorable in a world where everyone is competing for attention and most content sounds exactly the same. We dive into why so many entrepreneurs struggle to stand out despite putting out consistent content, the AI content paradox, and the importance of defining what you should be "known for." Melanie breaks down the specific elements that make a personal brand impossible to ignore, and I share my Gateway Sales Solution — a proven strategy that more than doubles close rates by reducing risk and building relationships before asking for a major commitment. Melanie Benson is an Authority Amplifier, Revenue Strategist, and Money Mindset Coach for expert-preneurs who are building successful businesses around their expertise. With over 12 years in corporate America and 21 years as an entrepreneur and coach, she specializes in transforming wisdom into wealth through powerful mindset shifts and influence-boosting strategies. Melanie holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and a Master's Degree in Organizational Management, along with advanced certifications in Project Management, Results Coaching, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. She hosts the top 1% podcast Amplify Your Success and has been featured in Bloomberg BusinessWeek, American Express OPEN Forum, and Women's Day. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Over-relying on AI to generate content without adding your unique perspective makes you blend into the noise rather than stand out. Most entrepreneurs are too close to their own work to clearly articulate what they should be known for in the marketplace. A clear "why" statement and "why me" positioning are essential components of an unignorable brand. Your brand presence must be congruent with who you want to attract and the transformation you deliver. Authenticity often outperforms forced professionalism when it comes to building trust with potential clients. The Gateway Sales Solution reduces buyer risk by offering the first real win at 10-20% of your full contract value with a money-back guarantee. Relationships plus results equal retention — results alone create transactions, not loyal clients. Get known for something specific and amplify it rather than trying to be everything to everyone.

In this episode, Warren speaks with Dr. Grant Van Ulbrich, the world's first doctor of Sales Transformation. They discuss a critical gap in the modern revenue landscape: while other business functions have deep academic rigor, sales education has remained largely stagnant since the 1980s. Grant explains why traditional "tips and tricks" no longer work on informed buyers and why a shift from transactional interactions to genuine value alignment is necessary for business survival.The conversation dives into the psychology of change and Grant's "Scared So What" methodology. Most leaders manage operations, not emotions, yet sales is fundamentally an act of imposing change. Grant breaks down how understanding personal reactions to change allows revenue leaders to move from simply telling teams what to do to empowering them through transformational leadership. This approach helps teams navigate the fear of new strategies and structures.Grant shares insights from the global cruise industry, revealing how shifting focus from internal agendas to customer needs dramatically improved sales effectiveness. He highlights the dangers of "product dumping" and the importance of co-creation. By treating sales as a coaching opportunity rather than a coercion tactic, organizations can align internal culture with the external customer experience to ensure a consistent brand promise across all channels.Finally, the discussion offers actionable advice for CEOs and CROs on navigating organizational restructuring. They explore why high-performing individual contributors often struggle in leadership roles without the right psychological tools. This episode is essential for executives looking to modernize their go-to-market strategy, foster a culture of ownership among their teams, and utilize science-backed frameworks to drive sustainable revenue growth.
SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, host Caleb Talley sits down with Heather Applegate, founder of Pivot X Coaching, for a conversation packed with wisdom on entrepreneurship, coaching, and personal growth. Heather shares her unique journey from studying psychology to launching Pivot X, an executive coaching and strategic advisory firm. Her passion for human behavior and propelling teams forward shines as she explains how she helps founders and executives transition from product-focused mindsets to leading effective teams, and eventually, through ownership transitions. A major theme throughout the discussion is the importance of realignment over stigmatizing the “pivot. Her approach encourages leaders to embrace change as an opportunity, rather than a setback. Heather also offers insights into the emotional challenges entrepreneurs face, especially as companies grow and founders struggle with shifting identities and relinquishing control. Additionally, networking and community are central topics; Heather recounts the fears she overcame to put herself out there, ultimately reaping rich relationships and opportunities within Northwest Arkansas's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Her reflections on balancing ambition with personal life offer a refreshing take on what true success means. For anyone in the midst of a pivot, or simply seeking clarity on their entrepreneurial path, this episode is a must-listen!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(06:10) Understanding Fear in Relationships(07:55) Founder Identity Challenges During Growth(12:37) Building Community Through Events(13:41) Overcoming Fear to Connect(18:29) Expressing Purpose with Words(22:41) Life and Goal Reflection Strategy(24:00) Closing ThoughtsLinksCaleb TalleyStartup JunkieStartup Junkie YouTubeHeather ApplegatePivot X Coaching
David Cleevely didn't approach hospitality like a chef — he approached it like a systems engineer. After decades building companies at the heart of British technology and science, Cleevely went on to co-own one of the UK's most iconic Italian restaurants. In this conversation, he explains why running a restaurant isn't that different from running a technology business — if you understand systems, incentives, and long-term thinking. This isn't a story about Silicon Valley hype. It's about infrastructure, patience, culture, and why the boring bits are what actually make businesses work. ===============

What happens when doing the right thing costs you everything and teaches you more than success ever could? In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Jeff Martinovich, Author of When Not If: A CEO's Guide to Overcoming Adversity, who shares his astonishing journey from the boardroom to federal prison and back. Wrongly targeted during the 2008 financial crisis, Jeff refused three plea deals on principle and paid a heavy price. His story of resilience, redemption, and reinvention reveals hard-won lessons about leadership, integrity, and rebuilding after unimaginable loss. Key Takeaways: → The cultural principles and “A-player” mindset that fueled his firm's explosive growth. → What really happened when regulators came for smaller financial firms after 2008. → The meaning behind When Not If—why every leader must prepare for crisis before it strikes. → How a childhood fascination with investing led to a billion-dollar wealth-management empire. → How helping others in the prison law library became his unlikely path to freedom. Jeff Martinovich earned his B.S. in Business Management from the United States Air Force Academy and his MBA in Finance from The College of William and Mary. He had the honor of serving his country during The First Gulf War at Tactical Air Command Headquarters, Langley, Virginia. Pursuing a second career in financial services, Jeff was Founder and CEO of MICG Investment Management, a billion-dollar wealth management firm nationally recognized for its rapid growth, WoW service and A-Player culture. Following the 2008 Financial Crisis, MICG's proprietary hedge funds experienced regulatory scrutiny and allegations. As CEO, Jeff vigorously defended his firm, refusing three separate plea offers and instead choosing to defend his employees and himself in federal court. In a bizarre narrative, Jeff was convicted and sentenced to 14 years in federal prison. Yet, then representing himself, the court decisions were reversed twice by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, two separate U.S. District Court Judges were removed, and his successful federal suit liberated him from a higher-security, violent prison. After nearly 7 years, Jeff was finally released to begin his journey of rebuilding, restoring, and turning disadvantages into advantages. His life has been a continuous string of business and family miracles ever since. His perilous journey and miraculous restoration are the topics of national publications, to include When Not If: A CEO's Guide to Overcoming Adversity, Forbes Books, January 2024. He spends his days helping CEO's, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders not make the mistakes he made on the way up, as well as teaching trench warfare tactics necessary to achieve victory when the black swan shows up at your office. He lives in Norfolk, Virginia with his wife, son, and new little girl.

Unser heutiger Gast hat Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Universität Hohenheim studiert und anschließend seinen Master of Science in Business Management an der Universität Würzburg gemacht, inklusive Stationen im internationalen Business an der Universidad de Deusto in Spanien. Nach dem Studium sammelte er erste Erfahrung in der Strategieberatung und im Business Development, unter anderem bei Simon-Kucher, bei BCG Digital Ventures und später bei Westwing, wo er strategische Projekte in einem dynamisch wachsenden Umfeld verantwortete. Doch dann kam der Punkt, an dem er beschloss, seine Energie in ein ganz anderes Thema zu stecken: mentale Gesundheit. Auslöser war eine persönliche Erfahrung in seinem engen Umfeld und die Erkenntnis, dass der Zugang zu psychologischer Unterstützung in unserer Gesellschaft, vor allem aber im Arbeitsumfeld, noch immer viel zu schwer und stigmatisiert ist. 2019 gründete er zusammen mit seinem Team nilo.health, eine digitale Plattform für mentale Gesundheit am Arbeitsplatz. Seitdem hat sich viel getan: nilo unterstützt heute über 500 Unternehmen europaweit dabei, mentale Gesundheit in der Unternehmenskultur zu verankern – und ist nach dem Zusammenschluss mit Likeminded nun europäischer Marktführer. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in über 500 Gesprächen mit mehr als 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter verändern muss. Wie schaffen wir es, die mentale Gesundheit endlich aus der Tabuzone zu holen und in Unternehmen als echten Erfolgsfaktor zu begreifen? Was braucht es, damit Führungskräfte nicht nur über Wellbeing sprechen, sondern selbst Vorbilder für gesunde Selbstführung werden? Und wie können Plattformen wie nilo dazu beitragen, dass psychologische Unterstützung niedrigschwelliger, skalierbarer – und vor allem menschlicher wird? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Deshalb suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

On this week's episode, a busy week of mixed economic signals—initial jobless claims hit a very low 191,000 while ADP reported a -32,000 decline in private payrolls—and a split economy where ISM Manufacturing remains in contraction as Services continue to expand. With a delayed September PCE inflation (the Fed's preferred inflation gauge) arriving today, just before next week's FOMC meeting, markets are leaning toward a 25 bp “risk management” cut as Treasury yields hover in a 4.05–4.15% range and auctions resume. Looking ahead to 2026, the team expects continued momentum without a recession, a need for discernment in AI rather than bubble fears, a potentially more dovish Fed posture amid leadership changes, a strong first half for equities, and a steady emphasis on diversification through debt concerns and midterm-election noise.Speakers: Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment Strategy George Mateyo, Chief Investment Officer Rajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed Income Stephen Hoedt, Head of Equities 01:37 - Labor Market & Economy Split: Initial claims ~191,000 and below 225,000 for three weeks; BLS jobs report delayed to Dec 16; ADP shows -32,000 private payrolls—cooling, ISM Manufacturing remains in contraction (multi-year) while Services continue expanding—highlighting a bifurcated economy. 3:47 - Inflation & Fed setup: September PCE is the last read before the FOMC; markets price ~95% odds of a 25 bp cut, with dot‑plot dissents crucial for the 2026 rate path. 07:16 - Rates & Auctions: 10‑year Treasury trading ~4.05–4.15% with dip‑buying; auctions restart next week ($58 billion 3‑yr, $39 billion 10‑yr, $22 billion 30‑yr). 09:47 - 2026 Outlook Highlights: Momentum without recession; AI requires discernment (ecosystems forming, winners vs. losers); possible dovish tilt at the Fed amid leadership changes; equities set up for a strong first half with potential mid‑year inflation‑related volatility; stay diversified through debt/deficit concerns and midterm‑election uncertainty.

In this episode, Warren Zenna sits down with Mike Price, CRO at DTEX Systems, to explore the critical evolution from a functional salesperson to a holistic business leader. Mike shares his unique journey, influenced by an entrepreneurial upbringing, and discusses why successful CROs must view themselves as business executives first. He argues that while sales skills are foundational, the ability to understand the broader mechanics of an organization is what truly defines the modern revenue leader.A significant portion of the conversation is dedicated to the art of vetting a potential CRO opportunity. Mike provides actionable advice on how to interview the CEO, specifically regarding the company's readiness for a true Chief Revenue Officer. He warns against accepting roles that are merely "VP of Sales" with a different title and emphasizes the importance of asking why the organization believes it needs a CRO right now. This advice is vital for executives ensuring they enter an environment ready for strategic change.The discussion also delves into the paradox of ambition and control. Mike explains that true executive maturity involves the willingness to cede control to a specialized team rather than being the smartest person in the room. He draws a compelling parallel to professional sports, noting that one must love the entire "game"—including practice and preparation—not just the moments of individual glory. This mindset shift is essential for leaders who want to build autonomous, high-performing teams.Finally, the dialogue covers the necessity of experimentation and reframing failure as a necessary step toward innovation. Mike shares insights on creating an environment where strategic risks are encouraged to drive growth. To close, he outlines his current work at DTEX Systems, addressing the "last frontier" of cybersecurity: insider risk management. He explains how understanding human behavior within an organization is key to protecting intellectual property and ensuring long-term business resilience.

In this episode of CRO Spotlight, Warren Zenna sits down with Christian Gerron, Chief Revenue Officer at StackAdapt. They dive into the complexities of the programmatic ad tech space, a market saturated with thousands of players. Christian explains how StackAdapt differentiates itself by moving beyond a simple DSP to become a unified "operating system," helping marketers reduce friction and increase ROI by integrating first-party data, programmatic, and measurement tools in one platform.Christian shares his unconventional journey into the C-suite, starting his career in finance at Microsoft before transitioning to sales and operations. He defines the CRO role not as a "super seller" but as an operator responsible for building and tuning the entire revenue "machine." This connected ecosystem includes sales, client services, analytics, and RevOps, all working in unison. He discusses why the authority to execute and drive impact is the true motivator for top revenue leaders.How do you execute in such a cutthroat market? Christian details the GTM transformation at StackAdapt. He describes moving the team from a generalist approach—where everyone targeted the same high-value territories—to a specialized and segmented model. By implementing focused territories, specializing by vertical (like B2B or healthcare), and splitting teams into "hunters" (new business) and "farmers" (account growth), the revenue org achieved faster, more efficient growth.Christian emphasizes that talent and culture are the ultimate differentiators. At StackAdapt, the hiring process is designed to find functional competency while actively filtering out "politics players" to protect a culture of trust and speed. He concludes with powerful advice for both aspiring CROs (focus on operational rigor and talent) and the CEOs hiring them (find a true "business leader" who thinks in systems, and then give them the autonomy to build the machine).
SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, host Daniel Koonce sits down with Tyler Flagg, founder and CEO of Flying Company, to discuss his mission to transform private aviation and put Bentonville, Arkansas, on the map as an emerging aviation tech hub.Tyler shares his unique journey from failed child actor to fourteen-year Air Force pilot and squadron commander, and ultimately, tech entrepreneur. After leaving the military, Tyler found himself managing a private business jet and was shocked at the pain points in finding and hiring contract pilots. The process, relying on Facebook posts, word-of-mouth, and reams of paperwork, was inefficient and outdated. Sensing a gap in the market, he created the Flying Company, a streamlined platform that connects pilots and operators, handles credentials, agreements and payments, and even helps operators and pilots save valuable time and money.The conversation dives into the realities of startup life, the surprising lack of digital innovation in aviation, and Tyler's long-term vision: a one-stop career and staffing system for pilots from student certification through retirement. He also touches on his hopes for Bentonville to grow into an aviation tech hub and the value of surrounding yourself with like-minded entrepreneurs.Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(05:10) Building a Marketplace for Aviation(09:54) Addressing Pilot Frustrations: Communication & Payment(14:57) Employing Quiet Professionalism over Ego(17:31) Making Bentonville an Aviation Hub(22:35) Next Steps: Aviation Career Progression Platform(27:31) Closing ThoughtsLinksDaniel KoonceStartup JunkieStartup Junkie YouTubeTyler FlaggFlying Company
With the historic government shutdown behind us, we dig back into key economic data captured over the duration of the shutdown: highlights include a modest improvement in housing activity, favorable labor market indicators despite data being somewhat stale, and mixed signals from the Federal Reserve amid uncertainty over December rate cuts. Equity markets showed heightened volatility, with strong earnings failing to sustain momentum, suggesting potential consolidation through year-end. Fixed income markets remain highly sensitive to Fed commentary, reflecting divergent views among policymakers. We also take a walk down memory lane to our 2025 predictions from last year—accurate on most calls—and preview the themes we think will impact 2026: global shifts toward nationalism, AI-driven disruption, and structural changes in financial markets. Please join us on December 3 for our last National Call of the year, when we'll dig into these topics and take questions from the audience. Speakers: Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment Strategy George Mateyo, Chief Investment Officer Stephen Hoedt, Head of Equities Rajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed Income 01:53 – Current Market and Economic Updates. Housing market improvement with existing home sales. Labor market stability, with unemployment claims holding and payrolls showing growth. Federal Reserve uncertainty, as October FOMC minutes reveal mixed opinions on rate cuts. Corporate earnings reports, which were strong but met with negative market reactions 08:04 – Equity Market Volatility and Seasonal Trends. Equity markets experienced an “outside day” with sharp reversals despite strong earnings. After strong September–October rallies, November–December may see consolidation rather than a typical year-end rally 11:46 – Fed Policy and Fixed Income Market Outlook. Fixed income markets are highly sensitive to Fed signals amid data gaps from the government shutdown. Divergence among Fed members on rate cuts vs. a pause creates volatility. 15:11 – We look back at our predictions from last year for 2025 trends and assess how accurate they were, and look ahead to our predictions for 2026, which we'll cover in more depth at our upcoming December 3 webinar (registration link below).

What if the next 90–180 days could lock in measurable customer loyalty? In this episode, we break down a practical, no-fluff playbook for building a retention strategy that customers actually value—whether you're serving consumers or complex B2B accounts.We focus on intentional success and segmentation, identifying high-value customers and the signals that predict renewal, frequency, and advocacy. Then we narrow in on the KPIs that matter most and design loyalty mechanics that make sense: points, tiers, access, bonuses, and earned surprise moments. You'll learn why swag rarely drives loyalty, how to reduce early friction with smart onboarding, and where re-engagement triggers fit when momentum slows.We compare B2C and B2B loyalty without clichés. For B2C, convenience, delight, and timely nudges win. For B2B, loyalty must support the whole account through shared benefits like premium support, admin training, success reviews, and milestone-based usage credits. Throughout, we lean on behavioral analytics, automation that enhances relevance, and a communication cadence that drives action without fatigue.To keep programs fresh, we champion co-creation and experiential innovation—inviting customers into pilots, iterating on perks, and retiring low-impact rewards fast. Ask the Disruption Day question: what will customers need tomorrow, and how can you start building it today? This mindset turns loyalty from a cost center into a growth engine. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a teammate, and leave a quick review.Resources Mentioned:Learn more about CXI Membership™ and apply -- http://CXIMembership.comOrder your copy of Experience Is Everything -- http://experienceiseverythingbook.comExperience Investigators Website -- https://experienceinvestigators.comWant to ask a question?

Using a combination of tangible money management strategies and a variety of powerful coaching techniques, Scarlett helps her clients transform their mindset and relationship to money and strategically make their vision happen.Scarlett didn't always live life this way. At the age of 18, Scarlett had already begun her professional journey and was managing restaurants and pursuing a degree in Business Management, Accounting, and Finance. Her life was all business all the time, despite having horrible relationships (with both people and money), struggles with depression, head-to-toe eczema, and frequent migraines. It took a cannabis-induced near-death experience to shake her to her core and start a slow crawl from rock bottom.Scarlett swung her pendulum from full business mode to total hippie; becoming a life coach, yoga instructor, and reiki practitioner. It was when a coach friend of hers was struggling with money that she was inspired to bring together her experience, skills, and degree to support her!! This was the genesis of Empowered Abundance, a program that helps coaches and business leaders transition into their next level of abundance with all the tools they need to make conscious and aligned decisions.Scarlett is a certified coach through the World Coach Institute and a Level 2 Enlifted Coach. On a personal level, she is a total hippie and loves spending time barefoot outside, vibing with her family in drum circles, and using plant medicine in the jungle.Website: https://thebizhippie.comFree 30 Minute Connection Call: https://thebizhippie.com/activationLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/scarlett-stanhopeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/scarlett.stanhope/-----If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp.Visit https://betterhelp.com/candicesnyder for a 10% discount on your first month of therapy.*This is a paid promotionIf you are in the United States and in crisis, or any other person may be in danger -Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dial 988-----Connect with Candice Snyder!Website: https://www.podpage.com/passion-purpose-and-possibilities-1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/candicebsnyder?_rdrPassion, Purpose, and Possibilities Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionpurposeandpossibilitiescommunity/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionpurposepossibilities/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicesnyder/Shop For A Cause With Gifts That Give Back to Nonprofits: https://thekindnesscause.com/Fall In Love With Artists And Experience Joy And Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@movenartrelaxationClick this link to receive your FREE TRIAL to The Greenhouse Communityhttps://www.thegreenhousecommunity.com/checkout/the-greenhouse-membership?affiliate_code=11e889
