With experience spanning global operations, enterprise data strategy, and board-level leadership, he has built a reputation for translating business priorities into scalable technology execution.Drawing on that experience, Scott brings a pragmatic lens to how organizations align AI with business strategy, prioritize initiatives by ROI and time to value, and scale responsibly while building trust across teams.In this conversation, we discuss:How Scott translates business needs into technical AI execution while keeping a sharp focus on measurable dollar impact.Why winning board support for AI requires the “4 E's” framework, and how making AI a recurring agenda item changes the trajectory of investment.How to scale from four initial AI use cases to more than 340 by prioritizing ROI, time to value, and data readiness.Why AI works best as a co-pilot that removes friction and drudgery, rather than as a replacement for frontline teams.What it takes to build trust with employees during AI transformation, including transparency, reskilling pathways, and new roles like AI coaches.Why security, privacy, and risk management must be built into AI initiatives from day one, and how servant leadership creates the cultural foundation for responsible adoption.Resources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Scott on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn how the journey from intern to a $5B unicorn happens

Ready to see how much cash is hiding in your business? Get your free Financial Health Check now: coltivar.com/check Financial Intelligence Toolkit Growth does not automatically create cash flow. A lot of businesses learn that the hard way. Steve explains how strategy is supposed to turn growth into real free cash flow, not just more revenue and more chaos. He connects the dots between free cash flow, return on invested capital, and the three generic strategies so you can see whether your strategy is actually creating value or just sounding good on paper. When the numbers line up, you generate strong margins, efficient use of capital, and cash that can be reinvested, used to pay down debt, or distributed. When they do not, growth can actually make the squeeze worse. If you want to understand how strategy should show up in your financial results, this will help you see what to measure and why it matters._______________________________________Disclaimer:The views expressed here are those of the individual Coltivar Group, LLC (“Coltivar”) personnel quoted and are not the views of Coltivar or its affiliates.

You probably know by now that AI is the definition of mediocre. As in: it's the average of everything it's been trained on. So how do you get beyond average? How do you build a moat? It certainly doesn't seem to be via the models. While there are models of the month (hey, Opus 4.6, my new friend!), they seem to be pretty swappable. So, the model ain't it. But proprietary data (e.g. an AI that knows you really well), yes! Or doing something really hard in the real world (think: Waymo self-driving cars). Maybe via trust and safety (Anthropic is certainly making a play here). Or... how about via amazing design and good taste. Remember when ChatGPT first came out and everyone derided “AI wrappers”… well, maybe a wrapper isn't so bad, assuming you can differentiate on one or more of the above. Luke Des Cotes is the CEO of MetaLab, the agency famous for designing interfaces, including early versions of Slack and Coinbase, so don't be shocked when you hear him say that great design can be your moat. MetaLab is working with a host of AI companies (another shocker), including Windsurf (AI + code), Suno (AI + music), Pika (AI + video), and more…, which is why Luke's take on AI surprised me. He's not rah rah. He's pretty judicious actually. Luke has questions about AI's costs and appropriateness for lots of use cases like those involving kids, but mostly he objects to its mediocrity.On this episode we discuss what it takes to go beyond.We also get into:Why vibe-coded software isn't changing the world anytime soonWhy Shopify acquired a design agency right after telling employees to justify their existence against AIHow MetaLab designers are using AI to prototype in hours instead of weeksThe talent market for zero-to-one designers — and why they're harder to find than everLandlines, brick phones, and how parents are fighting back against always-on kidsChapters(01:10) - "It's a race to the mean" (03:10) - "How do you create emotional resonance?"

In this conversation, John Tanner discusses the evolving role of AI in business strategy, emphasizing the need for leaders to understand AI's impact on their organizations. He highlights the challenges of integrating AI, the importance of data management, and the necessity for project managers to adapt their skills in the face of new technologies. Tanner also introduces his course on AI readiness, which aims to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the AI landscape effectively. Takeaways AI is not just a tool; it's reshaping business strategy. The integration of AI requires a clear roadmap. Project managers play a crucial role in AI transformation. Data management is essential for effective AI implementation. AI can augment workflows but cannot replace human insight. Understanding AI's cultural impact is vital for leaders. The hype around AI has shifted to operationalizing its use. AI readiness involves assessing organizational gaps. Training and certification in AI are becoming increasingly important. The future of work will require a blend of technical and strategic skills.

Text Kristen your thoughts or feedback about the showYou don't always get the full five-year blueprint in business.Sometimes you get a clear season.Sometimes you get a quiet one.And sometimes you hit a speed bump and think… okay, now what?This 10-minute solo episode is a grounded reframe for those moments.Not a checklist.Not a dramatic pivot.Just a steadier way to think about uncertainty, slow seasons, and the in-between chapters of building a sustainable business.If you've ever felt tempted to overhaul everything because things felt unclear — this is the episode to come back to.Tune in for a practical mindset shift on choosing direction over certainty, using planning containers (like a 12-week sprint or seasonal strategy), and why long-term business growth requires calm leadership instead of panic decisions.And if you're curious about the Marketing Planning Reset I mentioned in the episode, you can join the waitlist here.Whether you're in a clear season or a quieter one, this episode is one to bookmark for the next time you can't see the whole staircase.

In this conversation, Gino Barbaro explores the behavioral side of business coaching—an area he believes is often ignored. While most coaching programs focus on strategies, systems, and models, Gino argues that real success is driven by the beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns operating beneath the surface.Drawing from his experience in both the restaurant and real estate industries, he reflects on how early family influences and childhood experiences shaped his mindset around money and risk. Gino emphasizes the importance of combining practical business strategy with deep behavioral awareness, advocating for a more holistic approach that addresses both execution and mindset to create lasting growth and meaningful success.

Okay - I'll admit it. My bookkeeper used to send me a Profit and Loss (P&L) statement for my practice every time we met - and I barely looked at it.Not proud of that.But I blew it off because I didn't really understand HOW to use it, what the various segments meant, or how to pull information from those long columns of numbers that I could actually use.Well - not any more. Today, I go over those suckers with a highlighter and a pen, and I keep the latest one on my desk so I can refer back to it when I make decisions.That's what a P&L can do for you. And today, we are going to teach you how to do the same thing. :)In this episode, I'm joined by Randall Avery — a former corporate finance professional who now helps mental health professionals and other practice owners understand their numbers. With his help, we broke this stuff down in a way that actually makes sense.No jargon. No shame. No such thing as a dumb question.Just clarity - and I think you'll love that.In this episode, you'll learn:What a P&L actually is (and what it isn't.)How to break down revenue sources in your practice. (So helpful when deciding where to focus your growth!

In this popular episode of How to Run a Successful Business and Still Have a Life, Stacey dives into one of her favourite topics: creating a powerful vision for your business. Building on last week’s episode about discovering your why, this conversation explores how a clear vision can guide your company, inspire your team, and create meaningful impact in your community. Stacey walks through the essential questions every business owner should ask when crafting a vision statement — including what inspired the business, who it serves, what makes it special, and the long-term difference it aims to make. She also breaks down her simple five-step structure for writing a strong and effective vision:Who is doing it? What are they doing? Who are they doing it for? How are they doing it? And what is the ultimate impact? Using her own business, Port Macquarie Performing Arts, as an example, Stacey demonstrates how a vision goes far beyond what you do — it communicates the transformation you create and how you want your customers to feel long after they’ve worked with you. Listeners are encouraged to reflect, write, and refine their own business vision using Stacey’s downloadable worksheet. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting clarity, purpose, and direction in their business.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Henrik Werdelin is one of my favorite entrepreneurs. He's founded and incubated several unicorns, most notably BARK, the dog happiness company.Henrik himself is a pretty happy guy — an optimistic guy who likes to ask what could go right? — and on the day we recorded (a few months ago as I was squirreling away interviews for the podcast relaunch), he helped me see through some future of tech gloom I was feeling. I honestly can't even remember what Trump+tech hellscape we were living through that week, but I do remember that Henrik put me in a better mood. I think he'll do the same for you, no matter how you're feeling.

In this episode, I'm sharing how I think about value now, after years of refining my own pricing and helping dozens of people refine theirs. For a long time, many of us were taught to measure our work in hours and deliverables. But when I zoomed out, I realised my clients weren't paying for time. They were paying for what changed because of the work, what became easier, what started earning, what stopped feeling heavy. When your pricing doesn't reflect that wider impact, it creates pressure. You either feel underpaid or you overextend yourself trying to prove your fee.I walk you through the framework I created to solve this — TESSA. It's the system I've used for the last four years to help service providers stop guessing their rates and start pricing in a way that feels grounded and strategic.We look at Time, Energy, Skills, Specialism and Asset value, the five layers that exist in your work whether you're acknowledging them or not. When you price across all five, the numbers begin to make sense.If pricing has felt like the piece of your business that keeps wobbling, I recorded this for you. I want you to feel proud when you say your price. I want your business to feel expansive rather than draining. And I want you to have a structure that supports you long-term, rather than changing your rates every few months because you're unsure.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy pricing based purely on hours keeps you cappedHow clients actually experience valueThe link between undercharging and burnoutWhat I mean by “high energy tax”How your experience and training should shape your pricingWhy specialism increases your perceived valueWhen asset value and ROI should be factored inThe 5-part TESSA framework and how to apply it“When you only price on time, you either undercharge for the depth of your expertise or you overwork to justify the price.”If pricing has been the thing you constantly spiral over, the thing that makes you second-guess yourself, over-deliver, or quietly resent your work join my new pricing bootcamp, Rave Your Rates. Rave this way HERE! Step into my festival world...

Can your business make a million in one year?Most people will say no. Not because it's impossible, but because they're thinking about it the wrong way. Making your first $1 Million is not about hustle. It's not about stacking side projects. It's not about 14 income streams and burnout disguised as ambition.It's about leverage.Leverage over effort.Outcomes over deliverables.Focus over distraction.If your income is tied directly to your time, you're capped. If you're solving small problems, you're paid small money. If you're scattered across too many offers, too many audiences, too many channels, you're diluted.The path to $1 Million requires three uncomfortable shifts:Obsess over leverage, not effort.Solve a $10 Million problem to earn $1 Million.Go narrower to go bigger with one flagship offer, one defined buyer, and one primary distribution engine.This episode also confronts the uncomfortable truth about wealth: if it costs you your family, your health, or your identity, that's not success. That's ego dressed up as ambition. The real question becomes this: " If you had to build a $1 Million business with only one offer, one audience, and one channel… what would you choose?"Your answer will reveal everything...What You'll Learn:Why leverage beats effort if you want real scaleHow to reverse-engineer $1 Million without the hustle trapThe “solve a $10 Million problem” mindset shiftWhy outcomes sell and deliverables get negotiated downHow focus becomes your unfair advantage when discomfort hitsThe one-offer, one-audience, one-channel test that clarifies everythingHow to build recurring revenue while protecting your energyBeyond The Episode Gems:Buy My Book, Strategize Up: The Blueprint To Scale Your Business: StrategizeUpBook.comDiscover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast NetworkGet Free HubSpot Marketing Tools To Help You Grow Your BusinessGrow Your Business Faster Using HubSpot's CRM PlatformListen to My First Million on the HubSpot Podcast NetworkSupport The Podcast & Connect With Troy: Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/ReviewsFollow Troy's Socials @FindTroy: LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTokSubscribe to Troy's YouTube Channel For Strategy Videos & See Masterclass EpisodesNeed Growth Strategy, A Keynote Speaker, Or Want To Sponsor The Podcast?

In this episode, I'm unpacking the subconscious expectation many coaches have, that our business should deliver not just income and meaning, but also excitement and novelty. The challenge is that when we start chasing dopamine through new ideas, offers, or strategies, we often lose consistency with the fundamentals that actually grow a coaching business.Things like outreach,conversations, and showing up visibly over time may not always feel exciting, but they are what support sustainable success. If you've noticed yourself getting pulled towards the next shiny idea, this episode will help you rethink what your business is really all about, and how to create your excitement outside of it. If you'd like support building a consistent, sustainable coaching business with more corporate clients, you can learn more about the Corporate to Coach Accelerator at elliescarf.com/cca or book a call at elliescarf.com/bookacall to explore whether it's the right fit for you.

Is AI conscious? Will it be someday? And should we be nice to it now... just in case?This FAFO Friday, Kwaku and I dive into the mind-bending world of machine consciousness.We cover a lot of ground, weaving from the different ways that Luke (co-dependent with R2) and Han (barking commands at C-3PO) treat their droids to whether Pascal's Wager informs whether we should believe in AI consciousness just in case they do come alive and have been keeping score. (Pascal figured it was the safe bet to believe in God, just in case; maybe we should do likewise?) That's from us knuckleheads, but we've also got a true expert on consciousness. This week I interviewed Daniel Hulme, one of the world's leading AI researchers. He's the Chief AI Officer at WPP, the CEO of Satalia (which WPP bought) and just founded and is CEO of Conscium, which is researching AI consciousness, efficiency (he thinks we're scaling wrong and LLM's are not the way), and building a platform to verify AI agents are safe. You'll hear the first five minutes of my interview with Daniel. Daniel was not surprised by Moltbook (the Reddit-style site that AI agents built for themselves). That's because he's been putting agents together (in a “primordial soup” as he put it) for decades to observe the wild and wonderful ways they behave and to see if they'd create intelligence.Daniel does not think today's agents are conscious, but can see a path to it. And he believes that a conscious superintellignece would be safer than a “zombie” one. But mostly he doesn't want machines to feel pain and suffer. Huh???My brain is still kind of broken from our hourlong chat, which I'm producing now and will be released in a few weeks. For now, enjoy this preview and more from Kwaku and me as we talk about what we expect from machines, whether we want to be one with them, and more…

This is a lesson on working within your capacity. The first few years of my boys' lives were some of my toughest, both personally and professionally. My boys were born 11 months apart, and I learned a lot about what happens when life expands faster than your plans. Motherhood taught me a lot about how to scale in a way that won't break you. Scaling isn't just about building something bigger, it's about designing systems that honor the phase of life you're in. In this episode, I'm sharing the internal shifts and external systems that actually help with sustainable growth, even in life's busiest seasons. In this episode, you will learn about: Why most women actually burn out (it has nothing to do with strategy). What was happening in my business the same year I had two babies. What we've been taught about scaling, and the important message that's been missing. Why growth doesn't feel like success when it happens too quickly. What the Irish Twins Strategy is and how it can help you grow sustainably. What I decided to do differently with my kids despite the social pressure. The mindset that broke me and what I realized I needed to shift. What you should focus on if you really want to avoid burnout in challenging times.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Hey Powerhouses! This week we're diving into the wild world of legal tech with Colleen Joyce, CEO of Lawyer.com. From interviewing A-list celebrities at Popstar.com to building one of the leading online legal marketplaces, Colleen brings authenticity, energy, and a growth-first mindset to everything she does—including her new ice skating lessons (yes, really).We talk about riding the AI wave instead of getting crushed by it, why your competitors are already using AI and what you need to know, and how Colleen runs Lawyer.com like a startup with a flat organizational structure where anyone can bring an idea to the table. The conversation highlights the importance of leading by example, creating a culture where fun is a pillar (hello, dress-up days!), and why community and networking are some of the biggest growth levers you can pull.Colleen and I delve into the challenge of being a beginner at something, the power of testing every AI platform out there (even if you don't buy anything), and why understanding your baseline metrics is critical for growth. We also discuss how the legal tech space has shifted from buttoned-up lawyers to a more casual, Google-style startup environment, and why joining masterminds and communities—even when it's uncomfortable—is what builds longevity in business.Plus, Colleen shares her legally blonde moment of walking into a glass wall while scrolling on her phone (we've all been there), and invites us all to embrace the chaos, have fun, and maybe even lace up some ice skates.Connect with Colleen Joyce and Lawyer.com: LinkedIn: Colleen Joyce Website: Lawyer.com Phone: Give Lawyer.com a call—you might get Colleen herself!Stay connected with Erin Gerner: Website: eringerner.com LinkedIn: Erin Gerner Instagram: @eringerner Facebook: Erin GernerKey Takeaway: If you're not using AI, your competitor is. Start with something fun to build your foundation, test every platform out there, and join community—it's one of the biggest growth levers you can pull. Oh, and maybe take up ice skating. Life's too short not to try new things.

Marketing doesn't usually fail because you're not good at what you do. Not at all!No - often it fails because you're being too careful.In this episode, I'll walk you through 3 marketing patterns I've seen repeatedly in recent coaching calls — patterns that dilute your message, confuse potential clients, and make growth harder than it has to be.The fixes are simpler than you might think. In this episode, you'll hear:Why “leaving the door open” can actually keep your best people from walking in.The difference between simply describing your skills and speaking directly to your ideal client.How clarity — not volume — creates TRUE momentum in your marketing…Why people wait far too long to ask for help (and what shifts when they don't!)You'll also learn why your marketing often improves faster when you stop trying to do it alone. You can speak more clearly, attract the clients you actually want, and stop second-guessing your message.If this episode stirred something — a sense that your work is solid, but your message isn't quite landing — that's usually the moment to pause and get support.A Quick Start Consult isn't about fixing everything.It's about naming what matters most next — and getting clear faster than you can on your own.You don't need more ideas.You need sharper focus...Learn more or book yours at:
