Lex interviews Scott Woody, CEO and founder of Metronome, a usage-based billing platform. Scott shares his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, detailing his experiences at UC Berkeley, D.E. Shaw, and Stanford, where he studied biophysics. His tenure at Dropbox, where he tackled billing system challenges, inspired the creation of Metronome. The discussion highlights Metronome's real-time billing data capabilities, which aim to improve business efficiency and customer experience. Scott also explores the broader implications of AI in fintech, emphasizing the shift towards usage-based business models and the importance of real-time data. Notable discussion points: Metronome emerged from firsthand frustrations at Dropbox, where Scott Woody experienced how rigid billing systems slowed growth, confused customers, and blocked real-time insights. He built Metronome as a flexible, real-time billing engine that merges usage data with pricing logic—powering the monetization infrastructure for top AI companies today. Real-time billing isn't just about invoices—it's a strategic revenue lever. For AI and SaaS businesses alike, Metronome enables teams to run dynamic experiments, optimize GPU allocation, and make last-minute decisions to hit quarterly targets—turning billing into a core growth engine. The rise of AI is accelerating a shift to usage-based models. As AI becomes specialized labor across verticals (from loan collection to customer service), companies are rapidly replatforming, and entire industries may flip from seat-based to outcome-based pricing within quarters—Metronome is positioned as the "payment processor" for this AI economy. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Metronome, Dropbox, Datadog, OpenAI, AI, AGI, machine learning, pricing models, financial services, business optimization, operational frameworks, analytics, financial modeling ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

We all deserve to love what we do and who we do it with.

Along with making the Inc 5000 list multiple times, receiving numerous ethics awards from the BBB and competing as a top place to work in Arizona, he's lived the sleepless nights, he's stressed about making payroll, he's dealt with the people issues. He's also found that it doesn't have to be that way—and he is driven to help other business leaders find relief. Over the past two decades, Chris has seen the flavor of the week leadership and management fads come and go. Heck, he probably tried half of them.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of leadership and personal growth with the one and only Alan Lazaros. As the CEO and CFO of Next Level University, Alan has an incredible story to share about how he turned his own personal tragedies and challenges into a mission to help others reach their full potential. From losing his father at a young age to a near-fatal car accident that sparked a major life shift, Alan's journey is both inspiring and insightful. There are so many different types of leaders. Understanding who you are and how you work are critical to becoming the best leader. Take it to the next level by bringing in team members that can balance out your skill set. This is when you become a powerhouse leadership team! What you'll learn: → Alan's background and how he found his passion for self-improvement → The importance of self-belief and self-worth in leadership → Strategies for building a culture of authenticity and belonging on your team → How to navigate the fears and doubts that can hold leaders back → Practical tips for taking personal responsibility and being your own hero Want to skip ahead? Here are key takeaways: [03:26] Leadership isn't always easy. Having honest conversations about what you need and who you care is so important. Without it you can't be the best version of yourself and make the most of your best skillsets. [13:18] Challenges are constant. Choosing to respond positively to adversity, rather than falling into depression or despair is important. You can't control what happens to you, only what you chose to do when adversity happens. [19:40] Core values are so important. They help you know how to lead and communicate with your team. [31:54] As leaders, we all have fears. Different people have different fears so it's important to understand where you line up. Do you identify with the fear of not being enough vs. the fear of being too much? [31:54] When we are true to ourselves we can fear that we are going to lose. Embrace your unique strengths and gifts, even if they make you “not normal” in the eyes of others. Resources Bronnie Ware's book “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying”: https://bronnieware.com/blog/regrets-of-the-dying/ Alan Lazaros At age 2, my father passed away in a car accident. At age 26, after getting into a nearly fatal car accident myself, I questioned everything I was doing in life. I questioned who I was and the choices I was making. I was at an all-time low. Filled with regret, I searched for answers and found two of the brightest lights I had ever seen. The first bright light was a book by Bronnie Ware entitled, “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying,” and the second was a Ted Talk by Tony Robbins. Both of these resources helped me find my way and guided me to make the choice of going ALL IN on self-improvement to design a life of meaning and purpose. On this self-improvement journey, I have learned I believe in a heart-driven but NO BS approach to inspiring, motivating, and educating others on what it REALLY takes to get to the Next Level. Today, I am proud to say it is my mission to help others design fulfilling lives, maximize their own unique potential, and build aligned businesses they love on their own terms.

Welcome to today's video, where we'll dive deep into one of the biggest obstacles that sabotage business owners—distractions! In this video, we're focusing on a mindset shift that can change the way you approach growth, revenue, and time management in your business. Today's topic is “Focus on the River, Not the Stream.” This concept can help you streamline your efforts, reduce time-draining activities, and ultimately increase your profits. Close Every Deal: Why It's a Trap As business owners, we have an instinct to try to close every deal, capture every sale, and serve every single customer. It seems like the more we do, the more we earn, right? Well, not always! While it might feel like you're being productive, focusing on every deal or opportunity can actually kill your time and diminish your profits. Not all opportunities are created equal. If you spend too much time chasing smaller, less profitable deals, or servicing customers that demand excessive attention, you're taking your eye off what truly matters—your rivers of revenue. This is where today's lesson comes in: Focus on the river, not the stream. The Rivers: Your Key Revenue Drivers So, what exactly are the "rivers" in your business? Rivers are your primary sources of income—the services or products that consistently bring in the most revenue, the most profit, and require the least amount of time to fulfill. Focusing on these revenue drivers is the key to scaling your business efficiently. Let's break it down: What Brings in the Most Revenue? – Look at the services or products that are consistently generating the highest volume of income for your business. These are your core offerings and should be prioritized. What Brings in the Most Profit? – Revenue alone isn't enough. You need to focus on the services that deliver the best profit margins. This is where your business's health truly lies. What Takes the Least Amount of Time but Delivers Great Profits? – Time is money! Identify the offerings that require minimal effort but still generate a good profit. These should be top priorities for scalability. What Has the Largest Potential Customer Base? – Focusing on products or services with broad appeal can exponentially grow your business, as these “rivers” can feed a steady stream of income for a long time. The Streams: Time-Draining Distractions On the other hand, “streams” are the distractions—the offerings or deals that take up your valuable time but don't deliver a high return. Here are some examples: Additional Services: These might add value but often take more time and resources to fulfill. If they don't significantly contribute to your profit, they might be worth cutting. High-Ticket Clients: While these customers bring in more money per transaction, they are often more demanding and require more attention. They can drain your time and energy, so consider whether they are worth the effort. Partnerships: While partnerships can bring in large deals, they often take a significant upfront investment of time with minimal immediate payoff. Be mindful of how much time you're spending on these opportunities. Large or Group Deals: Though they can look appealing, these deals often require heavy discounts or extended negotiation periods, which reduce overall profitability. Homework: Identify and Cut the Streams Your action item this week is simple yet powerful: Identify the streams in your business that are draining your time and profits. Which services, clients, or deals are you focusing on that aren't delivering the returns you need? Once you've identified them, make the hard decision to cut them out. Redirect your focus toward the rivers—the areas that are bringing in the majority of your revenue and profit. This mindset shift will free up your time, allowing you to focus on the opportunities that truly drive your business forward.

Episode 112: Alan Lazaros & The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success by Darren Hardy ABOUT ALAN At age 2, Alan's father passed away in a car accident. At age 26, after getting into a nearly fatal car accident himself, Alan questioned everything he was doing in life. He questioned who he was and the choices he was making. He was at an all-time low. Filled with regret, Alan searched for answers and found two of the brightest lights he had ever seen. The first bright light was a book by Bronnie Ware entitled, “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying,” and the second was a Ted Talk by Tony Robbins. Both of these resources helped Alan find his way and guided him to make the choice of going ALL IN on self-improvement to design a life of meaning and purpose. On this self-improvement journey, Alan learned he believed in a heart-driven but NO BS approach to inspiring, motivating, and educating others on what it REALLY takes to get to the Next Level. Today, he is proud to say it is his mission to help others design fulfilling lives, maximize their own unique potential, and build aligned businesses they love on their own terms. Alan has a powerful combination of technical expertise and business acumen specializing in Peak Performance, Productivity, Organizational Design, and Individual, Team, and Business Optimization. He lead a global team at NLU, has given hundreds of trainings all over the world, and has happily completed thousands of one-on-one coaching calls with clients. As he says, It would be his honor to help you get to the Next Level of your life, love, health, and wealth. I interviewed Alan's business partner and partner in crime Episode 103: Kevin Palmieri & Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS "If you don't have self-belief, those adversities that could end up being your advantage actually just end up being adversity." (read that again) Understanding conscious and subconscious belief in yourself -- and whether or not they reconcile. "Every time you feel lost or directionless, just go back to the script." Success vs. Fulfillment and the 4 combinations you can fall into. "I want my future to be an amplified version of what it already is." What's your trauma response -- fight, flight, freeze, or fawn? The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Alan is, How are you sticking to what you want to do to get what you want?

Scott invited David Buck to join the virtual studio for the latest episode to discuss David's philosophy on time management, emphasizing the proactive nature of "time optimization" over the reactive concept of "time management."In 35+ years of business development, David developed a strong awareness of what it took for people to be productive and efficient, not just busy. He also personally sought to gain a balance of having a successful career along with the ability to pursue a meaningful personal life.That led David to start Kairos Management Solutions, and then the Infinity Lifestyle Design program, focusing all his attention to guide business professionals who struggle with a lack of flexibility in their life to gain more quality personal time. Dave helps his clients craft a strategy around their current management of time, and then define a lifestyle of intention, ease, and joy.In April 2024, David will release his first book called, The Time Optimized Life. The book reframes the reactive nature of time management and replaces it with a proactive method of time optimization.In this episode you will learn the following: David Buck's BackgroundTime Management PhilosophyClient and Advisor WorkPractical Tools and Book Buck's book, "The Time Optimized Life,"Connect with Scott on LinkedInConnect with David Buck on LinkedInFor more on The Optimized Advisor Podcast click here For more on Infinity Lifestyle Design click hereOrder The Time-Optimized Life click hereDownload and work through the Life Purpose Statement click hereDownload the first chapter of The Time-Optimized Life click here Follow us on LinkedInFollow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook **This is the Optimized Advisor Podcast, where we focus on optimizing the wellbeing and best practices of insurance and financial professionals.

And they get rewarded for that stage. But to reward our investors in the next tranche, that 2.0 version, we got to radically improve the company."[00:06:13] "As you built companies to get to 20 million is one thing, but to get to 50 and then 100, they're just different stages and different steps, and there's a different playbook really for each."Listen to the full episode with Dave Tiley through this link: https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/from-good-to-great-with-dave-tileyCheck out John McMahon's book here:Amazon Link: https://a.co/d/1K7DDC4Check out Force Management's Ascender platform here: https://my.ascender.co/Ascender/

FULL SHOW NOTES https://podcast.nz365guy.com/525 Embark on a journey through the veins of business optimization with Rachel Profitt, Microsoft's principal program manager, as she brings her wealth of knowledge from Denver, Colorado, straight to your ears. From an honoured Microsoft MVP to the halls of Microsoft itself, Rachel's insights into Dynamics 365's newly unveiled business process catalogue promise to revolutionize your approach to finance, operations, and beyond. Our conversation peels back the layers of this powerful tool, crafted to enhance and expedite Dynamics 365 implementations. Revealing the synergies between community efforts and technological triumphs, Rachel highlights how this open-source gem on GitHub isn't just a Microsoft showpiece; it's a community-driven tour de force for partners and customers to elevate their business practices.Today's digital landscape is a mosaic of collective wisdom, and our episode explores how community resources are the bedrock of successful Dynamics 365 and Power Platform implementations. Dive into the heart of this collaborative spirit with Rachel as we unravel a world where vanilla baseline business processes, AI advancements, and in-app guidance converge to chart a clear path through often treacherous implementation terrain. We don't just discuss the tools of the trade; we reveal the pulse of innovation beating within each community contribution, each flow diagram, and each step toward harnessing the transformative power of an efficiently deployed ERP or CRM system.But the intrigue doesn't stop there. The finale of our discussion with Rachel takes us into the future of process mining, how telemetry data offers a crystal-clear reflection of business operations and the pivotal role of test suite automation in safeguarding system integrity. The symbiotic relationship between Dynamics 365 and Power Platform is not just discussed; it's celebrated as a testament to the dynamic interplay of documentation and community input.
