Podcasts about business strategy

This is an episode that is equal parts validating and practical. We go deep into the patterns that so many high-achieving women carry like hypervigilance, over-responsibility, and the constant sense that we should be able to “just handle it all”. Sound familiar? Plus, we talk about what happens when we stop making ourselves the problem and actually diagnose what's really going on in our businesses. This session is ultimately about reclaiming your capacity and sanity by building systems that neutralize emotional triggers, leaning on your team more, and designing a business that works with your brain instead of against it. You'll hear the shifts Molly makes as we name what's been draining her and start creating the structures that will free her up to focus on what she does best.  In this episode, you'll hear: • Molly's “oh I'm normal” moment (and why naming it matters) • Hypervigilance and its impact on high achievers • Seeing the upside of challenges like ADHD (and the insane results Molly had last year) • What it looks like to diagnose the real problem in business  • How systems can and should create emotional neutrality • The hill I'll die on around team support & to do's  • The first step to creating systems that actually work for your brain Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Molly on Instagram Learn more about Molly on her website  If you're enjoying the coaching you're hearing, check out my Ultimate Mini Course to Maximizing Results in 1:1 Coaching to learn the proven strategies & foundational tools for creating an in-demand container that get your clients real results

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!

Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are significantly increasing their technology budgets, focusing on strategic investments that support long-term growth. According to a study by Forrester Consulting, 88% of SMBs plan to enhance their cloud strategies and cybersecurity through increased spending on third-party services. The study also highlights a growing emphasis on improving customer experience and reducing enterprise risk, with cloud-based disaster recovery solutions and hybrid cloud strategies becoming essential. However, the integration of AI services into the economy is expected to take years, as businesses need time to learn about new AI products and train their employees.The UK government has issued a second Technical Capability Notice requiring Apple to provide access to encrypted data and messages of British users stored on its iCloud service. This directive follows a previous request that raised diplomatic tensions with the US and has led Apple to withdraw its Advanced Data Protection Service in the UK, weakening user privacy. The implications of this move are significant for SMBs that rely on iCloud, as it introduces potential security risks and highlights the need for additional encryption measures.Microsoft is facing pushback as it prepares to end free security updates for Windows 10, which is set to occur on October 14, 2025. A coalition of organizations, including repair shops and advocacy groups, is urging Microsoft to extend these updates, citing concerns that many PCs will be left insecure or unusable. With a significant portion of Windows 10 machines unable to upgrade to Windows 11, businesses are left with difficult choices regarding their operating systems, potentially leading to increased e-waste.In the realm of AI, major companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Stripe are launching new tools that integrate AI capabilities into their existing platforms. Microsoft has introduced Microsoft 365 Premium, which combines Office applications with AI features, while Salesforce has launched AgentForce Fibes, a tool that streamlines coding through natural language. Stripe's new instant checkout feature within ChatGPT allows users to purchase products directly from chat interfaces. These developments indicate that AI is becoming an integral part of business infrastructure, and MSPs must focus on helping clients leverage these tools effectively to drive business outcomes.Four things to know today00:00 SMBs Are Increasing Tech Budgets for Cloud, Cybersecurity, and AI, But Forrester Warns True AI Value Will Take Years to Realize04:07 UK Pressures Apple on iCloud Again, Forcing Encryption Rollback That Puts Privacy, Business Security, and Global Precedent at Risk05:39 Windows 10 Sunset Becomes a Flashpoint: Market Share, Hardware Incompatibility, and Sustainability Collide in Microsoft's 2025 Deadline08:23 From Office to Checkout: Microsoft, Salesforce, Stripe, OpenAI, and Google Push AI Into Everyday Work and Consumer Life This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

What happens when a CEO treats thought leadership as essential as strategy? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, host Peter Winick sits down with Des Hague, an acclaimed executive who has led global brands like PepsiCo, IHOP, and Centerplate, and now advises startups, nonprofits, and private equity firms. He's also the author of "Think Your Way to the Top" and "15 Minutes of Shame", with a third book on the way. Des doesn't see thought leadership as an optional side project. For him, it's the natural extension of leadership itself—codifying the models, frameworks, and mindsets that fuel success. He shares why talent is always the starting point, how leaders must prioritize relentlessly, and why making time for writing and reflection is a choice, not a luxury. We dig into the dangers of mediocrity and entitlement, the critical role of sacrifice, and how to stay focused in a world addicted to distraction. Des's mantra, NSL—Never Stop Learning—pushes leaders to reject complacency and demand excellence from themselves and others. He also opens up about resilience, accountability, and how leaders respond to their lowest moments. Through transparency and candor, Des reframes failure as a lesson, not a life sentence. His story challenges executives to hold themselves to higher standards, embrace growth, and remain relentless in their pursuit of impact. This is an episode for leaders who want more than buzzwords. It's about discipline, clarity, and the courage to lead with integrity—even when the spotlight is harsh. Three Key Takeaways: • Thought leadership is leadership. Codifying frameworks, sharing ideas, and investing in personal development are essential for leading organizations and people effectively. • Focus and sacrifice drive results. Great leaders prioritize ruthlessly, avoid distractions, and make deliberate trade-offs to create time for what matters most. • Resilience and accountability matter. Owning mistakes, learning from setbacks, and maintaining a growth mindset separate leaders who stagnate from those who continue to make an impact. If you enjoyed Des Hague's perspective on leadership, focus, and turning ideas into impact, you'll want to dive into our episode with Will Milano. Both conversations tackle the discipline behind thought leadership—how leaders move beyond inspiration to frameworks, focus, and execution. Des shows how personal accountability and clarity shape great leadership, while Will unpacks how organizations can build a repeatable engine that scales those ideas into measurable business results. Together, these episodes give you a 360° view: the mindset of the leader and the system that powers the enterprise. Listen to both, and you'll walk away with practical insights for making thought leadership not just personal, but organizational. Listen to Will's episode here.

Jeff Berlin is the Founder and President of Bridge Industries & Chairman and CEO of TransTech Energy. Jeff's journey spans from his early days at Parker Hannifin to helping grow Hawk Corporation from a $20 million single-plant business into a $200 million global operation, and ultimately to founding his own company, Bridge — an industrial holding company anchored by TransTech — that has quietly scaled into a multi-hundred-million-dollar enterprise based in Chagrin Falls.In our conversation, we cover Jeff's conviction in the importance of American manufacturing and how it shaped his career-long commitment to building enduring businesses; the creation of Bridge Industries and his intentional choice of a permanent holding-company model over traditional private equity; the more than 25-fold scaling of TransTech into a diversified industrial platform with over 700 employees, up from just 35 a decade earlier; and the lessons learned along the way — the resilience and philosophy that guide him, how to weather downturns, usefulness as a true measure of value and success, culture across companies, and much more.00:00:00 - The Roots of American Manufacturing Belief 00:07:35 - Formative Experiences in Leadership 00:09:00 - Transformational Growth at Hawk 00:11:55 - Resilience in Business 00:13:10 - The Birth of Bridge 00:14:14 - Understanding Industrial Holding Companies 00:16:25 - Differentiation from Traditional Private Equity 00:19:00 - The Journey of Bridge 00:20:47 - Strategic Growth and Acquisitions 00:27:31 - Managing Geographic Expansion 00:30:01 - Introducing TransTech 00:31:28 - Building Infrastructure for Energy Solutions 00:35:59 - Strategic Growth and Acquisition Insights 00:38:10 - The Importance of Vertical Integration 00:42:51 - Cultural Dynamics in Business Integration 00:43:43 - The State of American Manufacturing 00:46:30 - Defining Success and Value Creation 00:48:10 - Future Ambitions for Bridge and TransTech 00:49:40 - Mentorship and Leadership Evolution 00:51:22 - Understanding the Nature of Industrial Work 00:54:40 - The Role of Infrastructure in Daily Life 00:55:56 - Excitement for Future Challenges 00:58:07 - Investing in Financial and IT Infrastructure 00:59:52 - Automation and Its Implications 01:01:53 - Guiding Wisdom and Philosophy 01:02:51 - Renewable Natural Gas and Environmental Impact 01:05:51 - Hidden Gem-----LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-berlin-9b156a12/https://bridgeind.com/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

Whether you're scaling your business or building your foundation, this entrepreneurship podcast delivers actionable advice and inspiration.

What if your business could energize you instead of draining you? What if the secret to success isn't selling more—but showing up as more of yourself? In this episode, I'm joined by Juliette Stapleton, an internationally recognized visibility strategist, to explore how Human Design can transform the way you approach marketing, visibility, and entrepreneurship. We dive into how aligning your business with your energy type creates more flow, fulfillment, and sustainable success. Inside this conversation:

We're kicking off Season 12 with a powerful introduction to our new coachee, Molly! In this intro episode, you'll get to know who Molly is, both in her business and in her life, and why she said yes to this experience of coaching publicly. She shares what's been working in her business, the challenges she's navigating right now, and the goals she's holding as she steps into this container. Most importantly, you'll hear her excitement (and fears) about what's to come. I have a feeling you're going to fall in love with Molly and be inspired by her willingness to go deep from the very beginning.  In this episode, you'll hear: Molly's background and what drives her in business and life What life looks like right now as a business owner and mother Why she wanted to work together and what made her say yes to the podcast The challenges she's navigating that don't have a neat resolution yet The goals she's working toward as she steps into this season What she's most excited for — and most nervous about — in the journey ahead   Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Molly on Instagram Learn more about Molly on her website If you're enjoying the coaching you're hearing, check out my Ultimate Mini Course to Maximizing Results in 1:1 Coaching to learn the proven strategies & foundational tools for creating an in-demand container that gets your clients real results  

I'm going to be honest, this is a unique session to start a season. And as you get to know the joy and vulnerability that Molly brings to everything, you'll see why it couldn't have been any other way! Molly and I pick up "mid conversation" (i.e. we had done an intensive together prior to starting) to celebrate and dissect a huge win and dive incredibly deep on an in-process sales page. This episode exemplifies how simple it can be to see results, and much strategy and detail still go into it. You'll walk away with energetic shifts to apply to your next launch, detailed shifts to make on your sales page, and an example of what it really means to go deep into the details as a coach and client.  In this episode, you'll hear: • How Molly sold out her offer before she even launched it • The way she actually got results from our intensive (that every coach and client needs to hear) • The thing that truly changes how your offer sells (that is so simple we often hate to acknowledge it) • The massive advantage of running your funnel live first • Why going deep on your sales page matters more than most people realize (and how to make it feel like a YES for your people) • The tiny copy details that build trust and authority in big ways • The “mom life meets business” moment that we need to normalize   Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Molly on Instagram Learn more about Molly on her website If you're enjoying the coaching you're hearing check out my Ultimate Mini Course to Maximizing Results in 1:1 coaching to learn the proven strategies & foundational tools for creating an in-demand container that gets your clients real results

You already have the expertise. You already have the skills. The only thing holding you back from leadership is waiting for some arbitrary milestone, more followers, or another qualification to “prove” you're ready.

We'll explore how to move through imposter syndrome with an evidence-based self-audit, anchor into your power message, and create a vision big enough to carry you into the next 5 years. Because the truth is: you don't need more learning. You need to step up and lead.

If you're thinking about selling your online business, there's one part of the process that can make or break your deal: due diligence. Many sellers underestimate how important it is, and how much control they actually have over the process. In this week's podcast episode, Greg sits down with Ahmed Raza, founder of Rapid Diligence, to unpack the realities of due diligence and how sellers can prepare to maximize their exit. Ahmed starts by breaking down what due diligence really is and the steps sellers should take long before they go to market. He explains which diligence requests sellers can push back on, and the most common due diligence myths and misconceptions. Ahmed shares how buyer habits have evolved over the past few years and how, in some cases, due diligence can actually help sellers negotiate a higher sale price. We also dive into due diligence success rates, negotiation strategies when diligence turns tricky, and the typical timeline sellers should expect as their business works its way through the due diligence process. If you're planning an exit, this episode will help you avoid costly surprises, protect your leverage, and position your business for a smoother, more profitable sale.

David Guttman, serial entrepreneur with both eight- and nine-figure exits, shares how mindset, strategy, and timing shaped his career. Alongside him is Anna Prudchenko, an 18-year-old who skipped the traditional path to build her first company with David's mentorship.---Who is David Guttman?David Guttman is an entrepreneur, investor, and now President and COO of InvestiFi. His journey started humbly, managing a help desk at 24 before discovering the power of equity during his first IPO. That lesson fueled a career that led him to eight- and nine-figure exits and recognition as a three-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur. A graduate of Brown and Wharton, David's perspective was further shaped by surviving a terminal cancer diagnosis in 1990, an experience that redefined how he approaches both business and life. Today, he channels his experience into mentoring and teaching through The Anti-MBA: What Business School Never Taught Me.Learn More: https://bit.ly/46vct60---Who is Anna Prudchenko?Anna Prudchenko is an 18-year-old entrepreneur and majority owner of a new venture she launched under David's mentorship.
