What if the world didn't reward the best ideas — but the best-packaged ones? That's the question at the heart of this conversation between Bill Sherman and Gavin McMahon, CEO of fassforward and author of Story Business. Once an engineer designing submarines, Gavin discovered that technical brilliance alone doesn't move ideas forward — storytelling does. Now, he helps leaders use story as a tool for influence, clarity, and change. In this episode, Bill and Gavin explore why ideas don't speak for themselves — and how story gives them a voice. They unpack the idea of “storytelling power” versus organizational power, and why leaders who can't tell stories struggle to inspire action. Gavin defines story as “information wrapped in emotion for commercial purpose” — a deceptively simple definition that can transform the way you present ideas. They also dive into Gavin's concept of “grandma language,” the art of making complex ideas accessible without losing credibility. Using examples from CEOs and real-world leaders, Gavin shows how mixing simple and sophisticated language helps ideas stick — even in high-stakes environments like cybersecurity or strategy. You'll also hear about the seven-year journey of writing Story Business — how Gavin refined his thinking, wrestled with simplicity, and learned that clarity comes only after doing the hard work of distillation. Along the way, he and Bill reflect on humility in communication, the creative joy of writing, and why being “nicer to people” may be the best advice for every thought leader. If you've ever struggled to make your ideas land — this conversation will show you how story turns insight into impact. Three Key Takeaways: • The Best Idea Doesn't Win — The Best-Packaged One Does. Gavin argues that success isn't about having the smartest idea, but the clearest, most emotionally resonant one. Storytelling gives ideas power, helping them stand out and gain traction in organizations that aren't true meritocracies. • “Grandma Language” Makes Ideas Stick. Gavin introduces the concept of blending “credibility language” (expert terminology) with “grandma language” (simple, human words). The balance builds trust and accessibility — a must for leaders trying to communicate complex ideas to busy or distracted audiences. • Simplicity Is Earned Through Hard Work. Writing Story Business taught Gavin that true simplicity comes only after deep thought and refinement. As he tells Bill, people make ideas complicated because they haven't finished thinking them through — and clarity is proof of mastery. If this conversation on Story Business sparked new ways to think about how you share ideas, you'll love hearing from Michelle Mellon in Thought Leadership and Storytelling. She dives deep into how narrative builds trust, shapes perception, and turns expertise into connection. Listen next: Thought Leadership and Storytelling with Michelle Mellon — and discover how to make your stories resonate long after the meeting ends.

If you're constantly asking yourself "what do they want me to say?" instead of "what do I want to share?" you might be building a fake community instead of a genuine one. This episode will help you understand the difference and why it matters for your business. Today I'm diving deep into the psychology behind content creation and why so many of us end up people-pleasing our way to an audience that doesn't actually stick around. We're talking about the difference between having spectators who clap and leave versus active participants who buy into your essence and stay through your pivots, mistakes, and boundary-setting. Here's the truth: scared people don't become well-known, and boring people don't get paid. If you're trying to make everyone love you and never want to upset anyone, you'll never stand out or get the visibility you're craving. Your brain literally filters out sameness. It only pays attention to emotion, polarity, and what's different! I'm breaking down why we cater to fake communities (spoiler: it's often about that inner child need for validation and safety), how to spot whether your community is genuine or performative, and what to do if you realize you've been building the wrong kind of following. Plus, I'm sharing the mindset shifts you need to make if you want to attract people who will stick with you for the long haul. In today's episode, we're talking about: The difference between audience and community How to spot a fake community The psychology behind people-pleasing content What makes a genuine community stick around through pivots, mistakes, and changes in your business How to start building real connection by detaching from metrics Connect with me: Website Join our email list!

If you know exactly what you need to do but can't seem to protect the time to actually do it, this episode is for you. I've had the same conversation three times this week with three different founders. They're not missing strategy. They're not confused about what needs to happen. But the week starts, client work takes over, and suddenly it's Friday and nothing that mattered got done. Here's what I'm seeing: most founders don't need another system. They need someone in their corner helping them actually USE the systems they already have. In this episode, we dive into: Why you're trying to add systems when you're already at capacity (and what to do instead) The difference between structure as restriction vs. structure as protection Why this is an accountability problem, not a discipline problem How to build sustainable rhythms instead of reactive systems The three patterns that keep founders stuck (and what breaks them) Plus, I share a real client story that shows what changes when you stop doing it alone, and what monthly support actually looks like in practice. If you're managing perimenopause, caregiving, grief, burnout, or any life complexity that makes "standard productivity advice" useless, this episode will show you there's another way. Listen if: You're tired of feeling behind, your capacity isn't stable, and you're ready for strategy that works WITH your real life. 3 spots open for Monthly CEO Support.

The ultimate showdown between Jamaica's rising energy titans has arrived. When two companies share the same island and compete for the same customers, only one can emerge as the better investment.In this deep dive analysis, we pit FESCO Limited against Regency Petroleum Limited (RPL) to answer the question burning in every investor's mind: which stock deserves your hard earned money?The story unfolds like a classic David vs Goliath tale. FESCO dominates with 24+ service stations across Jamaica, while RPL operates just a handful of locations.

We break down everything from their expansion strategies to profit margins, from dealer operated models to company owned stations. You'll discover why FESCO chose the franchise route while RPL went for direct ownership, and how this fundamental difference could determine which stock wins in the long run.We also reveal the hidden factors most investors miss: the LPG cooking gas market dynamics, secondary offering rumors, and why institutional investors like GK Investments and Barita are quietly accumulating shares.By the end of this episode, you'll understand exactly which energy stock fits your investment timeline and risk tolerance.

This week's cards say you're carrying too much - and the answer isn't better time management. It's putting things down. I pulled 10 of Wands (you're overloaded), Temperance (integrate what you have), The Lovers (choose what stays), and The Fool (trust the leap). This episode walks you through what that actually means for your week. No more collecting solutions. No more being the glue in every workflow. This week is about release, integration, and creating space for what's next. Your CEO challenge: write down everything you're carrying, then pick one thing to drop. Delegate it, delete it, or defer it to 2026. Then notice what happens. Your 5-day action plan for the week: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPdvl1OjNzg/?img_index=1

What if failure wasn't the end... but the beginning of your breakthrough? In this powerful 15-minute intervention, Tony Robbins works with Anna, a young Inner Circle member, on how to deal with failure and the feeling of “losing time,” while keeping her mind fresh and positive. Tony shares the truth that success isn't about everything working out — it's about learning from setbacks and using failure as fuel. Every disappointment becomes feedback, every obstacle just a speed bump on the road to lasting success. Tony introduces his RPM system — Results, Purpose, and a Massive Action Plan — to give Anna a clear, practical framework for moving forward. He also shares a moving story from his friend Peter Guber's childhood, illustrating that persistence, not perfection, creates true achievement. The ultimate lesson: if you turn failure into learning, failure doesn't exist. Please enjoy!
