Send us a textIn this episode of The Frustrated CEO Podcast, hosts Patrick Lyons and Patsy Feeman sit down with Mohammad Anwar, CEO of Softway and co-founder of Culture+, for a candid conversation on leadership, company culture, and business transformation.Mohammad shares his powerful origin story, how rapid success left him “power drunk,” and how Softway's once-strong culture turned toxic—nearly driving the company into bankruptcy. He reveals the pivotal turning point that sparked Softway's turnaround: hearing a coach describe the company's comeback as being driven by love as a business strategy.In this episode, you'll learn what love in leadership really means (and why it's neither romantic nor soft), why behaviors—not values—define culture, how to build change-ready organizations, and why sustainable culture change requires leaders to own mistakes, apologize, and seek forgiveness, not just roll out new policies or processes.This conversation is a must-listen for CEOs, founders, and leaders navigating culture change, leadership burnout, and the real work of building resilient, human-centered organizations.

In this episode, I talk about why copying templates, strategies, and curated personas is killing businesses and why being fully embodied in who you are is the only thing that actually sells long-term. This is about money, ease, alignment, and building something that feels good instead of forcing yourself into another strategy that was never meant for you.Support the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App. $30M client wins | $7.8M sold onlineRich isn't rare.

Today I sit down with J Bird, founder of Cross Country Wellness, to unpack the real-world CBD business strategy behind building a premium product line and surviving in a crowded hemp market.He shares the personal story that led him into the industry, losing his father to an accidental overdose, and how that pain became purpose: creating a holistic alternative that people could trust.Loral's Takeaways:Introduction and Background of J Bird (00:04)J Bird's Entry into the CBD Industry (02:52)Development of J Bird's Product Line (03:47)Marketing and Customer Retention Strategies (08:10)Challenges and Strategies in the CBD Industry (11:06)Customer Loyalty and Product Quality (15:20)Retail Strategy and Shelf Space (20:23)Top Symptoms Addressed by Jay Bird's Products (23:13)Meet J Bird:Jordan Bergsrud is the embodiment of being, “immersed in the industry.” It has been a journey with a purpose and passion for Jordan. Or as everyone calls him, J Bird.

Jordan took a very difficult situation and made it his passion.“I realized the impact and benefits of cannabis and CBD and wanted to dedicate my time and knowledge to helping others realize the benefits of this plant.”“I wanted to be the difference people want to see in the world, by providing the best possible products I could find.”Jordan's high energy and passion was rewarded this year as he was named the 2020 Las Vegas Cannabis Activist of the year.

The entrepreneurial world loves telling founders to "never give up"—but what if that advice is slowly killing your business? In this episode, I unpack why persistence without direction is just expensive stubbornness. The real skill isn't grinding through everything; it's knowing which assumptions to abandon while keeping the business alive. I share why running parallel experiments beats blind faith, and what a Twitter thread about Pieter Levels' "ugly" landing pages taught me about the beliefs we cling to without questioning.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/dont-give-up-your-assumptions/The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/432-dont-give-up-your-assumptions Check out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

Here's the full text of this short episode:Hey everyone, Dan here with a quick, exciting update on this show... the name is about to change! In a few days -- on January 20th --  you'll see that this podcast will have new cover art, a new name, a new trailer, and more...I'm not going to reveal that name today, but I do want to share a bit of why I'm changing the name of a show that's been honored 3 years straight by the Webby Awards -- and what is NOT changing.OK, so there are three main reasons for the name change:- the first is very practical: "crafted" is really hard to find in search. I've literally stood next to people who are looking to subscribe and they can't find the show. I swear this wasn't the case when we launched 3yrs ago, but today there are several shows that are either called crafted or something close to it. - the second reason is more personal: the show is mine now -- that wasn't always the case. You may recall the show launched when I was with a high craft software consultancy doing product and client work. The podcast was a surprise! When I left and got full ownership of the show I didn't want to change too many things all at once. Also, I like the name crafted, but -- and this leads to the *real* reason I'm changing --- it no longer fits the show.- crafted is a past tense verb. and it perfectly described the original incarnation of this show, where founders, makers, and innovators would look *back* on things they'd built and we'd do a sort of case study that would help other builders learn from their mistakes and understand how that great product or company they built got so great...So here's the thing... I'm not really doing that sort of case study thing anymore. And I haven't for a while. Creating explicitly educational content is not favorite thing. I'm not exactly a "here is a framework" kind of guy. There are other people who LOVE to create that sort of content and they do a great job with it. So I've been following my interests... For a while now, this show has been much less concerned with teaching case studies and much interested in what comes *next.* * What are the implications of new tech? * How will AI change how we live, work, play, teach our kids...? * Should we get ready to live with humanoid robots? * How are stablecoins changing the world of money? * And what about quantum computers? And what do builders need to know about these things so that we can build a future we actually want? See that part is not changing... the show is still for builders. And you can take that literally: as in people who make software. Or if you want you can take it a bit more broadly: as in: people who putting in the work to build a better future.Sorry if that's a bit cheesy, but it's true. Because while I'm optimistic that we will build an amazing future, there is... uh... a lot going on right now in tech and in the world. And I believe that, together, we have power to steer the future in the right direction. This show will still feature the world's top technologists. And we're going to get into all of these future-forward things. Of course, we'll talk about things they've done in the past, because if we don't learn from history... well, you know how that expression goes. So, get ready to see some new art and a new name -- I'll give you a hint, it'll have the word future in it -- on Tuesday. And I would love your help spreading the word. When the new trailer and website drop, please share them with all your builder friends. So stay tuned...

As we step into a brand new year, I wanted to start 2026 with a different kind of conversation.In this episode, I'm sharing why I chose to hit the reset button on the podcast over the last few weeks — not by stopping, but by shifting the rhythm. After a demanding fall, caregiving responsibilities, and a deep need for creative breathing room, I realized I didn't need to quit or push harder. I needed a strategic reset.So this reflection is an invitation to rethink how we approach consistency, productivity, and growth — especially in seasons where our energy, priorities, or capacity have changed - or need to change. ;)In this episode, you'll hear…Why “pushing through” or quitting entirely are not your only options.What a strategic reset can look like in real life (and in your private practice!).How small tweaks in rhythm and structure can make a big difference in your energy...Why you don't have to burn out to evolve.And a gentler way to approach goals, planning, and presence in 2026. (Totally what I'm going to try this year.

Travel is one of the most demo-friendly use cases for AI — and one of the hardest industries to actually disrupt.Every AI launch seems to promise the same thing: “Tell me where you want to go, and I'll plan everything.” But behind the slick demos sits a deeply consolidated industry dominated by platforms, hotel chains, and airlines that optimize for upsell and extraction.Rafat Ali is the founder and CEO of Skift, which bills itself as “the daily homepage for the global travel industry.” We discuss whether AI is likely to have a traveler-friendly effect — or whether the big platforms will just use these new tools of hyper-personalization to extract even more from us. We cover: Whether AI creates new intermediaries—or just strengthens existing giantsWhy no breakout consumer AI travel startup has emerged (yet)Where AI does work in travel today: ops, logistics, and B2B automationWhy travel is a graveyard for “great UX, bad business” startups (RIP HipmunkRafat's dad hacks for traveling with three kids---Featured voices:Rafat Ali — Founder and CEO of SkiftMe (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

I share the full behind-the-scenes of what was really going on: the confidence knock, the temptation to start again with something shiny and new, and the uncomfortable realisation that the offer wasn't broken, it just wasn't finished yet. This is a very honest look at what it actually takes to develop an offer to a standard you can fully back, rather than abandoning it the moment it feels hard. You'll hear exactly what I tweaked over several months—from curriculum and messaging, to pricing strategy, delivery, and the full program experience—and why those changes mattered. I talk about why branding alone won't save an offer, why beta pricing has a role, and why building something world-class requires time, focus, and a willingness to go into the trenches. If you've been side-eyeing an offer and thinking about binning it for 2026, let this be your sign to pause and consider what it might become with the right tweaks.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy I almost removed Dreamium from my rebrand entirelyThe difference between a bad offer and an unfinished oneWhat I changed across curriculum, messaging, pricing, and deliveryWhy student experience was the biggest turning pointHow consistency and talking about one offer for 60+ days changed everything"The offers that become signature are the ones you're brave enough to refine instead of replace."You're invited to join me on 22nd January at 1pm GMT for a FREE workshop.
