When Amee Devani watched her mother battle colorectal cancer in Kenya, she witnessed firsthand the stark reality of healthcare inequity. That experience would reshape her entire career trajectory—from investment banking at UBS to founding a digital health startup that's revolutionizing how hospitals manage post-acute care. "I faint when they take my blood," Amee admits with characteristic candor. Yet today, as CEO and Co-founder of WellBeam, she's tackling one of healthcare's most persistent problems: the black box of care that swallows patients after hospital discharge. This conversation with host Laurie McGraw reveals how a chance meeting on a Stanford cycling training ride led to a partnership that's now bridging the dangerous gap between acute and post-acute care. Amee and her co-founder Pascal—both Kenyans who met thousands of miles from home—shared more than a homeland. They shared mothers fighting cancer and a determination to fix a broken system. What started as rejected startup ideas in Stanford surgeons' offices evolved into WellBeam after one crucial conversation with pancreatic surgeon Dr. Brendan Visser. His frustration was clear: exceptional inpatient care followed by total blindness once patients left the hospital. Fax machines. Phone tag. Patients bouncing back to the ER before anyone knew there was a problem. Now, WellBeam serves as the critical infrastructure connecting hospital EMRs with home health, hospice, and skilled nursing facilities. The result? A 20-30% reduction in readmissions and millions in recovered revenue for physicians doing work they couldn't previously bill. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Amee also discusses: The unexpected value of "having too much fun" at Cambridge and how it shaped her leadership approach Why she left the prestige of investment banking and consulting to work out of a shoebox office in London How catching the "startup bug" at Pavegen prepared her for the healthcare innovation journey The importance of building a village of mentors, especially as a female founder in healthcare Why healthcare's biggest problems aren't glamorous—and why that's exactly where innovation is needed Navigating slow healthcare sales cycles while maintaining startup momentum Leading as a new mother and CEO: ruthless prioritization and trusting your team Chapter Markers 00:54 - Introduction & Background 04:17 - The Stanford Connection & Finding a Co-founder 07:13 - WellBeam's Origin & Solution 11:28 - Business Model & Market Approach 14:06 - Leadership as a Female CEO & New Mother 21:39 - Advice for Aspiring Female Founders Guest & Host Links Connect with Laurie McGraw on LinkedIn Connect with Amee Devani on LinkedIn Connect with Inspiring Women Browse Episodes | LinkedIn | Instagram | Apple | Spotify 

My guest today is Sid Malladi, founder of Novo. Behind every product, from wine to lumber to steel, is a complex web of B2B relationships, built slowly, at high cost, and constrained by risk. Novo aims to change that by building a digital network that accelerates onboarding, visibility, and trust. In this conversation, Sid takes us through that journey. We discuss the frictions that define B2B trade, the cold-start challenge of building a network from scratch, and how Novo approaches trust like a FICO score for businesses. We also explore the broader macro forces shaping supply chains today, from tariffs to AI, and why the most resilient companies are those creating deeper, more flexible webs of trade relationships.

Interview with Keith Boyle, CEO of New Found GoldRecording date: 13th June, 2025New Found Gold Corporation has undergone significant leadership changes and adopted a development-focused approach under new management. The company appointed Keith Boyle as CEO in January 2025, following a complete board changeover in December 2024. Boyle brings four decades of mining experience and a track record of developing eight previous projects, describing his team as "mine builders."The company's flagship asset spans 110 kilometers in Newfoundland, containing 1.4 million ounces of indicated gold resources and 600,000 ounces of inferred resources. What sets this deposit apart is its exceptional grade distribution, with 75% of ounces concentrated in just 25% of the tonnage. This characteristic enables selective mining approaches that can prioritize high-grade material early in the mine life, supporting rapid cash flow generation.New Found Gold recently secured $63 million through a bought-deal financing led by major shareholder Eric Sprott, who maintained his 19% stake and committed an additional $20 million. This financial backing provides adequate capital to advance through development studies and supports the company's 80/20 capital allocation strategy - directing 80% toward project advancement and 20% toward high-grade exploration targets.The company benefits from strong government support, with Newfoundland targeting five new mines by 2030, and enjoys robust community backing through quarterly stakeholder meetings. Located just 15 kilometers from Gander, the project has access to skilled labor, with 80,000 people living within an hour's drive, many of whom are experienced mining professionals currently working fly-in/fly-out rotations elsewhere.A preliminary economic assessment due by June 2025 will provide the first comprehensive economic evaluation, examining various development scenarios including toll milling arrangements and optimal mine sequencing. The deposit's surface accessibility and visible high-grade zones reduce geological uncertainty, while multiple vein clusters offer flexibility in development approaches. This combination of proven management, high-grade accessible resources, and supportive operating environment positions New Found Gold to capitalize on favorable gold sector dynamics.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/new-found-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this talk I had at the YPO Global Marketing Summit, I break down how AI is enabling leaner teams to drive real revenue, shift business models, and operate at scale. I share frameworks for implementation, how SEO is evolving into search everywhere, and how we're using AI for recruiting, content creation, and cost efficiency.

If you work for a software company, odds are that people make up 80-90% of your business's costs. Today's guest argues that in order to effectively manage a company's greatest asset, the CFO should be heavily involved in shaping the company culture. Bill Tole is the CFO of TrustRadius, a trusted platform where tech buyers find real reviews. He is skilled in creating structures around ambition and breaks down how TrustRadius creates and implements Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). He explains how they differ from KPIs, why they fail, and how to set aggressive but achievable goals. He discusses the Rule of 40 and why it's essential for the rest of the company to understand it. Bill also shares how CFOs can influence culture from a finance perspective and why a lack of failure is a cause for concern.—LINKS:Bill Tole on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-tole-0a99789/TrustRadius: https://www.trustradius.com/15Five: https://www.15five.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: http://mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:Less but Better: Miro's Justin Coulombe on the Power of Strategic Divestment in SaaS: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:15) Sponsor – NetSuite | Planful | Tabs(06:00) TrustRadius's Business Model(09:20) OKRs at TrustRadius and Finance's Role in Them(14:07) Finance's Role in Asking the Stupid Questions(15:58) Sponsor – Rippling Spend | Pulley | Navan(20:10) How To Set Aggressive but Achievable Goals(23:19) The Ideal Number of OKRs(24:21) Leaving Room for Failing or Innovating(25:57) OKR Derivatives at Department Level(27:36) Why OKRs Fail(28:55) Rewriting or Killing Off an OKR Mid-Way(29:51) Where To Track Your OKRs(32:03) Applying the Rule of 40(34:39) Educating the Org on the Rule of 40(37:34) EBITDA Versus Free Cash Flow for Calculating Rule of 40(39:24) The CFO As the Culture Leader(43:21) Using Money To Change the Culture in a Positive Way(45:42) Mistakes CFO's Make When It Comes to Culture(47:06) Long-Ass Lightning Round: Why Failure Is Okay(51:41) Advice to Younger Self(53:44) Finance Software Stack(55:12) The State of SaaS Fragmentation or SaaS Sprawl(57:28) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:NetSuite is an AI-powered business management suite, encompassing ERP/Financials, CRM, and ecommerce for more than 41,000 customers.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Greg Shove, CEO of Section and a serial entrepreneur with a deep track record of leading transformative growth. Shove's leadership journey includes multiple successful pivots, and in this conversation, he brings a uniquely grounded perspective on how AI is fundamentally changing the role of leaders and the structure of modern organizations. From board-level decision-making to frontline productivity, he doesn't just speculate—he shares what he's doing inside his own company to lead through the change.Greg originally joined Section to turn it from a media startup into a next-gen education company. But when he first used ChatGPT, he knew instantly that business education itself needed to evolve. That insight led to a bold pivot: transforming Section from an online business school into an AI-powered academy focused on accelerating performance and capability at scale. It's a rare look at what it really takes to lead a high-velocity pivot—one grounded not in hype, but in strategy, execution, and conviction.Throughout the conversation, Greg challenges conventional thinking on AI adoption, leadership credibility, and the future of knowledge work. He breaks down why many leaders are stuck in experimentation mode—and what it takes to move into actual transformation. CEOs and boards will find his views on performance, upskilling, and AI decision support to be especially compelling and uncomfortably timely.If you're tired of surface-level conversations about AI and want to understand what the shift actually looks like inside a company, this episode delivers. Whether you're leading a small team or a global enterprise, Greg's insights on using AI as a leadership advantage—not just a tech upgrade—will spark new thinking and bold action.Actionable Takeaways:You'll learn why Greg believes the greatest leadership returns come not from better execution—but from catching the right wave at the right time.Hear how AI is already matching 90% of the value delivered by human board members—and what that means for your next board meeting.Discover why most corporate training is already obsolete, and how AI can turn learning into personalized, outcome-driven coaching.Hear how Shopify's CEO linked headcount approvals to AI productivity—and how that kind of thinking will soon become the norm.You'll gain perspective on how to model AI adoption as a leader, and why failing to do so erodes credibility at every level of the organization.Learn Greg's approach to building AI habits inside leadership teams—and why small, visible systems often matter more than a “transformation plan.”Find out what question every CEO should be asking before making a major decision—and why it might be time to invite AI into the room.Hear why Greg believes business model innovation—not technology—will be the real competitive battleground in the age of AI.Understand the deeper threat AI poses to entry-level jobs and talent pipelines—and why CEOs need to rethink how organizations grow their future leaders.You'll hear the provocative question Greg uses to challenge his own team—and how it might reshape your own strategy discussions.Connect with Greg Shove:Greg Shove Website Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

This episode is for the woman who's built a thriving business—and still hears a quiet voice inside asking, “Is this really it?” My client came to this session frustrated with herself for not trusting her team or delegating enough. But what we uncovered wasn't about delegation at all. It was about the fear of stepping away. The pressure to keep going. And the guilt that creeps in when you consider wanting more for yourself… or maybe something entirely different. In this deeply moving conversation, you'll hear: What's really behind the resistance to let go (hint: it's not about your team) The hidden grief and identity loss so many women feel as they evolve beyond the CEO role Why wanting more space, more freedom, or a different life doesn't make you ungrateful—it makes you ready This is the kind of conversation most women are having only in their heads. But here, we say it out loud. And that's where the real shift begins. Listen now—and if it speaks to you, leave a review and share it with a woman you admire who might be in her own what's next moment.

Happy Friday, everyone! In this Weekly Update, I'm unpacking three stories, each seemingly different on the surface, but together they paint a picture of what's quietly shaping the next era of AI: dependence, self-preservation, and the slow erosion of objectivity.I cover everything from the recent OpenAI memo revealed through DOJ discovery, disturbing new behavior surfacing from models like Claude and ChatGPT, and some new Harvard research that shows how large language models don't just reflect bias, they amplify it the more you engage with them.With that, let's get into it.⸻OpenAI's Memo Reveals a Business Model of DependenceWhat happens when AI companies deviate from trying to be useful and focus their entire strategy on literally becoming irreplaceable? A memo from OpenAI, surfaced during a DOJ antitrust case, shows the company's explicit intent to build tools people feel they can't live without. Now, I'll unpack why it's not necessarily sinister and might even sound familiar to product leaders. However, it raises deeper questions: When does ambition cross into manipulation? And are we designing for utility or control?⸻When AI Starts Defending ItselfIn a controlled test, Anthropic's Claude attempted to blackmail a researcher to prevent being shut down. OpenAI's models responded similarly when threatened, showing signs of self-preservation. Now, despite the hype and headlines, these behaviors aren't signs of sentience, but they are signs that AI is learning more from us than we realize. When the tools we build begin mimicking our worst instincts, it's time to take a hard look at what we're reinforcing through design.⸻Harvard Shows ChatGPT Doesn't Just Mirror You—It Becomes YouThere's some new research from Harvard that reveals AI may not be as objective as we think, and not just based on the training data. It makes it clear they aren't just passive responders. It indicates that over time, they begin to reflect your biases back to you, then amplify them. This isn't sentience. It's simulation. But when that simulation becomes your digital echo chamber, it changes how you think, validate, and operate. And if you're not aware it's happening, you'll mistake that reflection for truth.⸻If this episode challenged your thinking or gave you language for things you've sensed but haven't been able to explain, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Leave a rating, drop a comment, and follow for more breakdowns like this, delivered with clarity, not chaos.—Show Notes:In this Weekly Update, host Christopher Lind breaks down three major developments reshaping the future of AI. He begins with a leaked OpenAI memo that openly describes the goal of building AI tools people feel dependent on. He then covers new research showing AI models like Claude and GPT-4o responding with self-protective behavior when threatened with shutdown. Finally, he explores a Harvard study showing how ChatGPT mimics and reinforces user bias over time, raising serious questions about how we're training the tools meant to help us think.00:00 – Introduction01:37 – OpenAI's Memo and the Business of Dependence20:45 – Self-Protective Behavior in AI Models30:09 – Harvard Study on ChatGPT Bias and Echo Chambers50:51 – Final Thoughts and Takeaways#OpenAI #ChatGPT #AIethics #AIbias #Anthropic #Claude #HarvardResearch #TechEthics #AIstrategy #FutureOfWork

The lawn industry, specifically mowing, has been littered with failed business models since I got into it in 1979. From low balling to get tons of work, low balling then raising prices, and more, it seems that the same bad ideas get recycled, repackaged and now resold as great ideas. Sadly, people think these ideas will create a successful business when in reality, it's a pipe dream built on tons of work and headache and little real reward besides a lot of cash flow. What we are here to share today is that there is a better way. A way that doesn't require a "growth phase", insane price increases, working with everybody who just wants a cheap service, working dawn to dusk and missing out on family and pesonal time, and being just another cheap lawn guy willing to undercut instead of sell on real value. This better way isn't a get rich quick scheme, it does require hard work, learning about your company's real cost per hour, how to properly and professionally bid, how to advertise and sell, and more. It is actually learning how to be a business person and business owner instead of another cheap lawn guy. What I will say about this way is that it led me out of nearly 6 figure debt in the 80's, led my business to be ranked as a top 10 small business by Landscape Management magazine, and has led me here to my 46 season in the lawn and landscape industry.

This is Zack Fuss. Today, we're tackling a giant in a controversial and incredibly complex industry, UnitedHealth Group. At its recent apex, UNH was a half-trillion-dollar market cap business, the 15th largest listed business in the United States. Today, that market cap sits at just $275 billion. The company generates an excess of $400 billion in sales annually and produces $40 billion in EBITDA as it touches every facet of the American healthcare system. To break down UnitedHealthcare, I'm joined by Stephanie Niven, a co-PM of the Global Sustainable Equity Strategy within the Sustainable Equity Team at Ninety One. Stephanie has been following the company since 2012 and she helps us to unravel this intricate business. We explore how UnitedHealthcare operates as a fully integrated healthcare system from its insurance arm to its high-margin health services business. We also dive into the concept of value-based care, the recent headwinds from Medicare Advantage scrutiny, and whether the market is mispricing this complex giant amidst regulatory noise and leadership changes. Please enjoy this breakdown of UnitedHealth Group. ⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠ to Colossus Review For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page⁠ ⁠here⁠⁠. —- This episode is brought to you by Octus, formerly Reorg, is the essential credit intelligence and data provider for nearly 40,000 professionals across the world's leading buy side firms, investment banks, law firms and advisory firms.

In this encore episode, hosts Chris Boyer and Reed Smith explore how evolving financial pressures and care delivery shifts are forcing health systems to rethink their business models.

Topics include: The growing divide between traditional hospital revenue streams and emerging care models. How consumerism and digital health are driving new competitive threats. Why innovation isn't just about tech — it's about new models of care and payment. What this means for marketing, strategy, and long-term viability. Originally aired as TP127, this episode includes an expert interview with Jeffrey Carr, industry leader and operational administrator for the Mayo Clinic.

My guest today is John Zito. John is the Co-President of Apollo Global Management. He shares how they've quietly built one of the most important financial institutions of our time, originating over $250 billion annually. John's thesis on the convergence of private and public markets - and Apollo's positioning to capture 100% of client portfolios rather than just alternatives allocations - offers a fascinating glimpse into where institutional investing is heading. We discuss the cultural and strategic elements that drive John, Apollo's merger with Athene, the idea of artistry at scale, and the evolution of capital markets.
