We urge you to fix things before customers say enough is enough.Support the show

Lost customers are the death of most young businesses. Finding out why customers are defecting is essential to long-term sustainability. How do you find out? Talk to your customers, and spend time thinking about things as if you were the customer. Sweeping the reason or reasons under the rug will surely send the business to the boneyard. As business owners, we MUST figure this out, and then we must change to customer-pleasing products and services.Support the show

If you're frustrated because your content isn't performing despite having great expertise and valuable insights to share, you can make a few simple swaps to address the issue. The problem isn't your knowledge, it's that you're using outdated content approaches and treating Instagram like it's your email list. Today I'm giving you specific content swaps that will take your posts from basic to scroll-stopping, because here's the truth: you can't just repurpose content across platforms and expect it to work. Every platform has a different purpose and people go there expecting different things. When you try to make your Instagram posts do the job of your emails or podcast episodes, everything suffers. I'm breaking down the exact swaps I use with my media mapping framework to transform generic topics into platform-native content that actually converts. From connection-focused posts that go beyond "here's my morning routine" to credibility content that does more than just share client screenshots, these swaps will help you create content that feels fresh, specific, and engaging. The reality is that many of you think you're bad at content creation, but you're actually just being lazy with your content strategy. You're stuck in a repurposing cycle that's making you work harder, not smarter, because content that doesn't perform means you have to create two to three times more of it to get the same results. In today's episode, we're talking about: Why diary-style posts aren't connecting  How to make trend-based content actually valuable  The credibility content upgrade  Why your framework posts aren't landing  The platform-specific approach Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Most customers are smarter than we give them credit for. Perpetual excuse- making vendors put themselves at high risk for a short business life. Many buyers can easily detect vendor BS, and the quick penalty is a lost customer. Sadly, often times these unhappy buyers will share their frustrations with many other people. If you are a vendor/supplier, maybe it's time to focus on results? Maybe it's time to stop making excuses?Support the show

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Susan Ruediger, Founder and Chief Mission Officer of the CMT Research Foundation (CMTRF), and Laura MacNeill, the organization's CEO. Together, they explore how patient-led research is revolutionizing drug development and catalyzing billion-dollar outcomes. Susan shares the remarkable story of CMTRF's $128,000 seed investment in DTX Pharma that led to a $1 billion Novartis acquisition — a masterclass in strategic risk-taking and venture philanthropy. Laura explains how CMTRF's unique “go-out-of-business” mission drives urgency, focus, and impact, while also inspiring other nonprofits to adopt similar models. The conversation dives deep into storytelling's role in galvanizing donors, the importance of milestones and reinvestment, and how rare disease foundations can unlock breakthroughs for broader neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. Whether you're a biotech leader, investor, or nonprofit executive, this episode offers actionable lessons on focus, partnerships, and creating outsized impact with limited resources.TakeawaysPatient-led research can de-risk and accelerate drug development.$128K seed funding led to a $1B Novartis acquisition.CMTRF uses a venture-philanthropy model with milestone-based funding.Mission: fund treatments, find a cure, close the foundation.Storytelling drives awareness, donations, and partnerships.Early investments keep promising science alive.Biotech partnerships share risk and leverage expertise.Novartis validated CMT as a major market opportunity.Rare disease focus offers faster FDA pathways.Staying laser-focused means saying no to distractions.Chapters00:00 Intro & Guest Welcome01:20 From Grassroots Donations to Billion-Dollar Deals02:30 Understanding CMT and Its Impact05:00 Finding the Right Delivery Vehicle for Drugs07:40 The $128K Bet That Changed Everything09:50 Other Success Stories & Market Signaling13:00 The Venture-Philanthropy Model Explained16:30 The Power of Milestones and Flexibility18:45 Reinvestment and Sustainable Funding21:30 Role of Storytelling and Strategy in Movement Building26:10 Velocity Campaign & Raising $20M27:25 Why Biotechs Care About Rare Diseases31:50 CMT as a Gateway Indication for Neurodegenerative Disease33:30 Staying Focused and Saying No38:30 The Drug Development Lifecycle and Staying Mission-Aligned42:10 How to Get Involved and Follow CMTRF's Work45:10 Personal & Business Advice for Leaders48:30 Favorite Books and Final Thoughts52:00 Closing Remarks and Call to ActionSusan Ruediger's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-ruediger/Laura MacNeill's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-macneill-m-b-a-97633732/CMT Research Foundation's Website:https://cmtrf.org/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

If you're still repurposing emails into Instagram posts and wondering why your content isn't converting, this conversation will completely shift how you approach content creation in 2025. Today I'm joined by my friend and client Dielle Charon, founder of For the 23%, for a deep dive into what's actually working in content right now versus what we used to be able to get away with. We're both seeing the same shift: the passive content strategies that worked a year ago simply aren't cutting it anymore, and the creators who are thriving are the ones treating content creation like the full-time job it actually is. Dielle shares her journey from being able to coast on repurposed content to having to completely revamp her approach, including her storytelling framework where you spend 50% of your content just painting the problem before sharing any solution. We're also diving into why studying content creators (not just business coaches) has been game-changing for understanding how people actually consume content on these platforms. From our content creation routines to what's working (and what's definitely not working) in 2025, this conversation covers the mindset shifts, practical strategies, and honest truths about what it takes to create content that actually converts. We're also addressing the content heartbreak that comes with platforms changing and why fighting the algorithm is the least productive thing you can do with your time.

The Cracker Barrel Logo change recently to a plain, minimalistic design caused a massive uproar all over social media and tv. There's 3 big lessons small business owners can learn so you never have to upset your customers this way.

You have all the strategies, all the frameworks, and all the tools, but you're still not implementing them. At this point, you know the problem isn't your lack of knowledge. Today I'm switching things up from my usual strategy heavy episodes to tackle the real issue that's keeping you stuck: your mindset around marketing and content creation. After being surrounded by entrepreneurs outside my direct industry, I've realized we're complaining about posting 3 times a week while others are treating content creation like the full-time job it actually is. The truth is, we're headed toward a future where you can't afford to be on just 1 platform anymore, and if you can't manage 2 posts now, you're going to struggle when the standard becomes 6 posts across multiple platforms just to crack six figures. This isn't about adding more to your to-do list, it's about fundamentally shifting how you think about content and marketing in your business. I'm walking you through the exact mindset shifts that have allowed me to expand my marketing platforms and treat content creation like what it actually is: the primary way I make money. From stopping the comparison trap with other niches to understanding why discomfort in content creation is actually data, these shifts will change how you approach your entire marketing strategy. In today's episode, we're talking about: How to reframe every post as a salesperson knocking on 1,000 doors The difference between teaching and selling through content  Why comparing your content to other niches is sabotaging your strategy How comfort in content creation is actually preventing your growth  The mindset shift from inspiration-based posting to systematic content creation  Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Episode 224Join us for a game-changing interview with Grammy-nominated artist James Artissen, formerly known as James Worthy, as he unpacks his incredible transformation. From the inspiration behind his rebranding and the excitement of Grammy recognition to the vision fueling his own label, Humble Sound Records, James holds nothing back. He takes us behind the curtain of his deal with Universal Music Group, revealing key moments and insights into his debut album's creation, and drops a mind-blowing piece of business advice that will change the way you think. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about reinvention, resilience, and the pursuit of musical dreams.GuestGuestGrammy Nominated Singer, Songwriter, Record Producer, and Audio Engineer James Artissen also formerly known as James Worthy has long considered the name to be central to his life, and identity. It represents the dedication, and the passion towards his craft. Coming from New York, the musician attributes his hometown as a major influence on his style, and sound. Born James Allen Worthy on March 28, 1992 in Queens, New York, James began pursuing music at the age of 16. During that time period James had the opportunity to meet the late great Michael Jackson at Webster Hall in New York City which inspired James to fully pursue a career in the music business. After moving to Atlanta, GA the singer, songwriter, and producers first musical experience was at his high school recording studio through a music mentoring program sponsored by Dallas Austin. His initial foray into music consisted of learning the art of songwriting which later turned into music production shortly after. Artissen was also highly influenced by artists such as: A Tribe Called Quest, Whodini, Kanye West, Miguel, The Weeknd, and Pharrell Williams. While studying those artists he began to teach himself how to sing in 2009. To further his education he attended The Art Institute of Atlanta where he received a bachelor's degree in audio production. This helped him begin working, and placing his work with mainstream acts, and songwriters. In 2017, James transitioned from music production to artistry, and began recording himself. He joined a duo group named Kings X2, and released their debut single "Wine For Me" in september of 2017. The single peaked at #10 on the US Billboard Hot Single Sales Chart for 5 weeks. Later in 2018 the group disbanded, and James released his debut solo single "Move" which features the rap group Whodini. Following up to 2019 James released his anticipated EP "Blu Leisure" which became critically acclaimed upon its release. The project included guest appearances from: Tony Terry, Sonna Rele, Kalenna Harper, and Whodini. After its great success he released his sophomore EP "Kaleidoscopes", and in 2023 he joined forces with rapper Big Gipp of the rap group Goodie Mob to release their collaborative EP "Gipp N Worthy". The lead single "TOTW" peaked at #91 on the US Billboard R&B Digital Sales Chart also charting at the #1 position on the Amazon Best Sellers Chart. Within all of James's work he has been nominated for several Grammy Awards by working with names such as: Meek Mill, Justin Bieber, Robin S., 112, Raphael Saadiq, and so many others to name. In 2024 James launched his own label imprint Humble Sound Record in conjunction with Sony Orchard. The label houses artists such as: B Angie B, Robin S., Tynisha Keli, Sophia Habib, Shaynah, and Truth Hurts.https://www.jamesartissen.comHostOlyasha Novozhylova @notbasicblonde_NotBasicBlonde Podcast @nbbpodcast
