Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book What does it take to turn business chaos into a repeatable formula for success? In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Troy Hazard - global keynote speaker, bestselling author, entrepreneur, TV host, and former Global President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) - for a wide-ranging conversation on peer networks, business acquisitions, and the mindset shifts that separate good entrepreneurs from great ones. Troy shares the hilarious story of how three bottles of wine at a lunch in Brisbane launched a 15-year journey that took him to the top of EO's global leadership. He breaks down why he deliberately looks for 'unsexy' businesses most investors ignore, why he makes himself redundant as fast as possible after acquiring a company, and why leaving money on the table for the buyer is actually the strategy that creates premium exits. You'll also hear a powerful framework for evaluating distressed businesses - one that starts not with spreadsheets, but with candid conversations over coffee. Plus, Troy and Jeff explore the transformative power of EO, YPO, Vistage, and peer mastermind groups for entrepreneurs who didn't follow the traditional MBA path. Key topics covered: • How EO and YPO create life-changing peer networks for entrepreneurs • Why the best advice comes from people with nothing to gain from you • The 'unsexy business' acquisition strategy that creates outsized returns • How to evaluate a distressed business when the P&L tells you nothing • Why making yourself redundant is the fastest path to a profitable exit • The psychology of selling a business at a premium price • Vulnerability as a leadership superpower • Why confidentiality inside peer groups unlocks radical honesty  Guest: TROY HAZARD Guest YouTube: https://vimeo.com/troyhazard  Guest Business YouTube: Guest Website: https://troyhazard.com/  Guest Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/troyhazard/  #entrepreneurship #businessgrowth #TroyHazard #JeffDudan #EO #YPO #businessacquisition #peerlearning #leadershipmindset Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mark Roberge scaled HubSpot from $0 to $100M in revenue as its Chief Revenue Officer — and now teaches founders and operators at Harvard Business School why most growth strategies fail. The answer isn't effort. It's sequence. In this episode, Mark shares his Science of Scaling framework: the four-stage methodology that sequences product-market fit, repeatable sales motion, customer success, and revenue scaling in the right order. He introduces the PMF Threshold — the leading indicator that tells you whether you've actually earned the right to scale — and explains why half of the founders he works with are scaling too early, the other half too late, and almost none know which half they're in. You'll also hear why the best salespeople talk less than 50% of the time, how to build a sales hiring profile from your best customers' patterns instead of resume credentials, and why scaling your sales team before customer success is working destroys retention every time. Mark is the author of The Sales Acceleration Formula and The Science of Scaling, and managing director of Stage 2 Capital. This conversation is essential listening for founders, agency principals, and revenue leaders navigating growth decisions without a clear diagnostic framework. Hosted by Park Howell, creator of the Story Cycle System™ and co-creator of the StoryCycle Genie®.

He says results often come without paid marketing and cites past "Best Month Ever" initiatives, including doubling a client's best month and achieving near-best months about 90% of the time through day-by-day plans and consistent execution. The approach can generate immediate cash infusion, trials, or low-cost front-end offers that convert into recurring revenue, potentially adding $1,500-$2,000 monthly and $18,000-$24,000 annually.

As we continue our hallmark tenth season of the Eccles Business Buzz podcast, host Frances Johnson sits down with Cameron Smith, Founder & CEO of Kindling Snacks, and Co-Founder of Kodiak Cakes. Cameron is also a graduate of the David Eccles School of Business with a BS in Business Administration.Cameron talks to Frances about his time at Kodiak Cakes, where he served as president (2019–2023) and helped expand the product line into multiple protein-forward and frozen categories. Cameron shares how it was college's structure that later helped him research, learn, and become well-rounded across business functions, and how he joined early-stage Kodiak without a clear long-term plan, but drawn by the people and the chance to work broadly. Cameron explains the balance between intuition and data, highlighting the successful launch of the protein “Power Cakes” at Target, and discusses building brand affinity beyond functional benefits. He also describes founding Kindling Snacks in May 2024, a better-for-you pretzel brand, and how they meet challenges like tariffs, finding space in stores and on shelves, and the importance of hunger, execution, and real effort.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Taking actions creates your own opportunity[27:05] What was so interesting is the organization that I was a part of at Kodiak with Joel allowed me to do that, allowed me to express those entrepreneurial feelings and mindsets in an already established business that I didn't have to start it, but I was able to disrupt it and innovate. And I think so many times people wait for... They wait for things to happen for them, and they wait for opportunities. And the reality is opportunities do happen for some people, but you have to make it happen.How curiosity fuels disruption[29:40] If you want to be disruptive, you've got to think like someone who is disruptive. The other night, we were driving home, this was so funny, we were driving home as a family, and it was raining, and my 9-year-old daughter, she just starts saying, "You know, Dad," because the windshield wipers were going, "Dad, I know this would cost a lot of money, but they should put, like, a roof over the road so that you don't have to, you know, essentially, like, use your windshield wipers." And is it practical? No. Could you do that across all of America? You couldn't do that, but what's happening is she's seeing the world in possibilities. I read something that our curiosity peaks at age, like, six, like three to five, three to six, which is so unfortunate that as we get older, we stop being curious. We stop having these ideas of, "What if you could put a ceiling above the road?" And, like, she's just thinking these ideas. And then so, like, we need to encourage that, encourage that in people on our teams, encourage that with people that we're around and our families, that curiosity, that observation. And I mean, imagine if you go with your family and you're just, you sit in a Starbucks, and you say, "Okay, what's inefficient about what they're doing? What could they do better? What would you do differently?" And you start to create these mindsets of, "How could we think differently? How could we disrupt?" And it just, like, that's how other things start to happen. Deliberate strategy vs Emergent strategy[21:04] Our deliberate strategy was whole grain pancake mixes, add water only. The emergent strategy was protein pancake mixes, and it started to grow. And so the data told us, "Hey, there was a market for this." So we started to launch new flavors, and it continued to grow to the point that today, as you look at Kodiak as a brand, most places that Kodiak goes into, there's protein in because that's what the brand has become known for. But that was an emergent strategy. That was not our deliberate strategy. And so I think part of that learning is you need to have a deliberate strategy, and you need to pay attention to the emergent strategies. And sometimes your emergent strategy can become your deliberate strategy, but you also don't want to just chase after emergent strategies because that's what some businesses do, and they never see. A strategy that's working because they're looking for the next thing that's going to emerge for a lot of different reasons.Show Links:Kindling Snacks | About UsCameron Smith | LinkedIn ProfileDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

He compares one-off promotions and desperation marketing (like promises to add 100 members fast) to extreme diets, noting they can create infrastructure and experience issues, may attract poor-fit clients, and leave owners stuck when the tactic stops working. Instead, he advocates installing documented, coachable marketing and follow-up processes with multiple channels—referrals, reactivation, organic, online/offline, paid ads, plus email, text, and calls—to reliably bridge leads into clients. He highlights using a monthly marketing plan as a core driver of sustainable growth and lower-stress operations. 00:00 More Leads Trap 00:59 Band Aid Fixes 02:12 Systems Not Surges 03:25 Promo Pitfalls 05:25 Build Repeatable Habits 06:06 Multichannel Lead Flow 07:07 Monthly Marketing Plan 08:09 Final Takeaway

With the half-life of professional skills shrinking every year, is the traditional model of corporate learning and development fundamentally broken, and what role should employers play in the new era of continuous education?Agility requires a workforce that can adapt and acquire new skills as quickly as the market changes.

Following an upbringing as an expat in Jakarta, Indonesia, today's guest is applying his unique worldview to the management consulting industry and helping clients solve complex business challenges with digital solutions. David Aldrich, a Rice Business alum from the Professional MBA Class of 2015, serves on the Rice Business Alumni Association Board and is a practice lead at EPAM Systems, a management consulting firm where he focuses on energy and AI. David joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss his journey of growing up abroad and how the Rice MBA helped him pivot into consulting. They also explore how AI is reshaping the consulting industry and how Rice Business became not just his alma mater, but a lifelong community and support system. Episode Guide:00:00 Meet David Aldrich02:00 Growing up in Jakarta05:27 Landing in a Philosophy Major07:38 Venturing Into Startup Sales at FlightAware12:00 Pivoting to Consulting Through a Rice Professional MBA18:09 Life at EPAM Systems21:47 Finding Digital Solutions for Clients Through AI28:55 What Makes a Good Consultant31:36 The Ukraine War's Impact on EPAM37:09 Life Outside of Work39:38 Giving Back to Rice41:12 Alumni Breakfast Series42:59 Future of AI Consulting46:39 ClosingThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:An advice for students who want to get into consulting17:12: My advice to students that want to go into consulting is you need to get really good at the AI piece, right? Study right now and get proficient with tools like Anthropic, tools like, you know, ChatGPT's Codex, tools like, you know, Gemini's Nano Banana, and, like, PaperBanana, the new one that they just announced. You have to be proficient in this space and be certified in this space, too. Like, Claude just announced a certification program. You can go get certified as, like, an Anthropic Claude architect. It's free. You can do it. Like, these are things that I think you need to have on your resume to position yourself for value, regardless of what strategy you take. If you want to go into strategy consulting or Big Four or technology, having those new skills on how to create agent capabilities for clients is going to be the table stakes to separating yourself from, I think, other people who are also looking to go into consulting.Adapting to AI with caution26:15: I don't think you should stop AI adoption because of that potential, but I think it's important to understand that there's things that you can do right now to enhance productivity by using these tool sets. There's other things that require, I think, a little bit more due diligence, and is it the right decision to completely re-architect the way we work with agents? Because what's good for Anthropic and how they might not be the best thing for your company long term.What makes a good consultant29:10: A good consultant is not afraid to ask questions, to push clients, and, kind of, challenge thinking. I think there's an art to being able to do that without offending and pissing clients off, and understanding when you have the opportunity to, kind of, push hard to get clients thinking in a different way. I think the other key part is being able to be hungry for any opportunity and not scared to learn any new topic, right? Because the nature of consulting is that you're being thrown into a bunch of different businesses, and no matter how much you've worked in a specific industry or at, like, businesses, there's always going to be something new that they're doing, whether it's from a technology that they're using, a process that they're following, the nomenclature that they're using.Show Links: Learn more about EPAMTranscriptGuest Profile:David Aldrich | Rice BusinessDavid Aldrich | LinkedIn

AI is rapidly reshaping the MBA - and some business schools are racing ahead faster than others. In this episode, who leads the charge and what questions MBA applicants should ask about AI adoption.

In this faculty spotlight, Professor Aimee Barbeau of Gies College of Business explains how she introduces first-year students to business through ethics, experiential learning, and real-world impact projects. She challenges common misconceptions about capitalism by framing business as a value-creating, ethical practice and shows how tools like AI and hands-on corporate partnerships help students build practical skills and rethink the role of business in society.

Using the Wealthy Gym Owner business as an example, she contrasts gym-owner-only expertise with her broader experience across about 40 businesses, multiple facilities, hundreds of franchise locations, and extensive coaching, noting how even identical ad campaigns can succeed in two nearby gyms and fail in a third. She emphasizes that what works for one business doesn't universally transfer and highlights the value of combining "boots on the ground" operational testing with broad best-practice insights, as well as blending systems installation with coaching. For gym owners, she recommends leveraging strong coaching and client experience by improving business skills from a C level to a B, creating a powerful stack that can leapfrog competitors. 00:00 Stacking To Win 00:09 The Skill Stack Idea 01:09 Gym Coaching Blind Spots 01:47 When Ads Don't Transfer 03:52 Our Experience Advantage 05:41 Systems Plus Coaching 06:04 Your B-Level Business Goal 08:03 Become A Plus At Two 08:21 Final Takeaway

Clark has also held civic leadership roles and helped launch efforts including the Utah Impact Partnership, Utah Preservation Fund, and Utah Community Builders. He and his wife Christine have funded 4,000+ scholarships, established the Ivory University House (housing 623 students with proceeds supporting scholarships, internships, and stipends), and cofounded Ivory Innovations with their daughter Abby to address housing challenges via the Ivory Prize and affordable housing projects. Clark links education—especially literacy, citing only 50% of Utah third graders currently reading at grade level—to upward mobility, homelessness, and workforce needs. He also outlines his vision-goals-plan-accountability “success formula;” and emphasizes resilience, principles, and incremental growth through setbacks and market uncertainty.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web.

It's just so nice to be able to get together, collaborate, bring all the resources to bear, get the Gardner Institute looking at things critically, coming up with a new approach to governance for the state, which we did, and then nominating the right people to help lead out. And I think we're actually going to make some headway with homelessness. There's a lot of people contributing, but it's amazing how we've been able to get a much higher level of expertise in understanding the challenge and what can have a long-term impact that will actually move the needle instead of just throwing money at a problem or, you know, not ever measuring outcomes or understanding that we have to maybe re-look at the entire system and what's broken.What the Ivory success formula means to Clark [15:40] I just had opportunity after opportunity to do little things, and I had this view and this vision that I could become something. And I had this idea that maybe someday I'd go to a really top-notch business school. And that's the vision.And you always need to have a longer-term vision. And then if you do, it's easier to focus on goals that are one year or five year, and then you work harder to achieve your plans that you put together. So, that's been a process that I've shared with every organization I've been in and with all of my Ivory team members. And I ask them to share their success formula every year. And I always tell them, you know, "If you don't like my success formula, don't use it, but have your own." And the important thing is that you do have a great big vision of where you want to go, and then you aren't afraid to set goals. I always told all my kids, "It's always important to have goals, but you can change them anytime you want when they don't make sense, because circumstances change." You have to be able to be resilient and still be positive and say, "Okay, this has been ruled out, but now what is my goal? How am I going to adapt? What am I going to do differently?" And so, this has become part of our ethos at Ivory Homes and with Ivory Innovations and every organization I'm working with.How Clark views affordable housing as key to economic growth [36:57] If we can create great neighborhoods that really have a lot of people prospering, you know, people are so much more likely to graduate from high school, go on to college, have higher incomes, et cetera. And some of the zip codes and neighborhoods in the state are more challenged. And I love the fact that the University of Utah is really investing in the west side of the valley now, with this new hospital project that's going to get started soon. And we've also looked at neighborhoods out there and where we can really make a difference. I think we, like you have said earlier, we have to look a little bit earlier in the process of, you know, an individual's growth. And the earlier we can help them, the better. And then, of course, they're likely to avoid a lot of the pitfalls of life if they do get off to the right start. We're not going to be able to do it everywhere as a state, or we are not going to be able to do it in our own communities, but we all need to be heading in that direction.Show Links:Clark Ivory | LinkedInIvory Homes | WebsiteIvory Foundation | WebsiteClark Ivory encourages Rising Business Leaders to be driven by principles and impact | ArticleDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

All of us want to make sense of life—of our work, our relationships, and our place in the world. Who are we? Why are we here? What should we do with our lives? And is there a hope I can cling to as I struggle to make a slight difference in the world?Our guest is Steven Garber. He has spent his life as a teacher of many people in many places, including his work as Senior Fellow for Vocation and the Common Good for the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, and the Economics of Mutuality Alliance. He was the founding principal for the Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation and Culture. And Steve continues his work as Senior Fellow for the Institute for Marketplace Transformation.Anybody who is a regular listener to this podcast will have heard the name “Steven Garber” mentioned a lot. Not only was he Bob's doctoral mentor, but he has also influenced many of our previous guests. Steve is the author of some fantastic books, the latest being Hints of Hope: Essays on Making Peace with the Proximate (Paraclete Press, 2026).In our conversation we discuss:* How our work in this broken world can be frustrating and that even the most beautiful things we see and do show signs of that brokenness. * But that we can, and must, work (empowered by God's Spirit) toward something “proximate” to how God would want things, bringing hints of the hope that is to come. * The Gospel of John begins with ‘The word became flesh.” While this is the center of Christian theology, it is also a statement of pedagogical genius. We discuss how, in the things we do in our various vocations, we see “words become flesh,” in other words, we see that ideas are not just ideas, but that they can result in practical transformation.* Quoting Samwise Gamgee from the Lord of the Rings, we see that good books (and good movies, good music, good poems, good art) tell the truth about the human condition.* We hear the story of the Mars Corporation (M&Ms, Dove, Pringles, Pedigree Wiskers), a family-owned company who wanted to honor God and people with their business. Steve was asked to help them think through what it might look like to have a more complex bottom line than just about making money, creating a sustainable business model that seeks the flourishing of all entities in the business ecosystem (from the procuring of chocolate from African farmers, all the way to the end user eating a Snickers bar).* They created the Mutuality of Economics Alliance, a model for business that puts human and environmental flourishing at the heart of value creation.* Oxford University's Saïd Business School teamed with the Economics of Mutuality group to publish Putting Purpose into Practice: The Economics of Mutuality, which is now free online. * Steve mentioned the book Completing Capitalism: Heal Business to Heal the World by Bruno Roche (chief economist for Mars, Inc.) and Jay Jakub (Senior Director of External Research at Mars Inc.), a practical book that sees capitalism as more complete when generating financial capital is joined with generating human, social, and natural capital.Scroll down to learn more about Steven Garber.Thanks for listening!If you enjoyed this podcast, please share it with your friends!Your hosts are Dr. Bob Robinson and David Loughney.

He explains that flaws like bad pricing, broken payroll structure, or unsustainable rent can keep a business afloat but prevent real upside, wealth, or fair rewards for hard work. While he agrees with Dan Kennedy's idea that "money loves speed," he stresses speed must be aimed in the right direction—like using a map instead of driving fast without a destination.

KJ is the nickname she chose, the armor she built, the stage she never stopped standing on. But behind the confidence and the cultural commentary and the perfectly matched lipstick is Kristen: the middle child who felt like the ugly duckling, the founder who nearly didn't make it out, the mother whose daughter became her reason to keep going. In this episode of Sense of Self, Dr. Gowri Aragam sits down with Kristen Jones Miller, better known as KJ, co-founder of Mented Cosmetics, host of the Queen Things podcast, content creator, professor, and soon-to-be author, for the conversation behind the brand. What unfolds is a story about identity built layer by layer: from a girl in Columbus who learned to be funny because she had to, to an HBS grad who walked into entrepreneurship knowing the odds and doing it anyway, to a founder who spent a year watching her company deteriorate in real time while quietly, privately, almost silently falling apart. And about what it looks like to sell the thing you built from your own wounds, and somehow find your way back to loving it again. This one is equal parts hilarious, devastating, and deeply alive. Meet KJ! Kristen Jones Miller, known as KJ, is the co-founder of Mented Cosmetics, a beauty brand celebrating the beauty of darker skin tones, which she co-founded in 2017 out of Harvard Business School. She is the creator and host of the Queen Things podcast, a content creator, a professor at Ohio State University, and a soon-to-be author. She lives in Ohio with her husband K'idar, and their daughter Kayla.

Yan "Anthea" Zhang, the Fayez Sarofim Vanguard Chair of Strategic Management at Rice Business, has spent more than two decades researching the decisions that make or break organizations: CEO succession, corporate governance, and the gender dynamics shaping who rises to the top.On this special live episode, Zhang joins host Maya Pomroy '22 to share what her research reveals about the leap from functional roles to the C-suite, and why taking risks is non-negotiable for career advancement (especially for women). She also opens up about her origin story — from being part of the first-ever cohort at Nanjing University's business school to building a life and career in Houston — and why, after 25 years, Rice still feels like home.Plus: her latest research on AI-powered customer service, advice from her "Last Lecture" and how Rice Business Executive Education's Executive Leadership for Women program is giving women the tools and community to rise.Episode Guide:00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro03:19 Professor Zhang's Origin Story05:09 Hong Kong and USC07:46 Why Rice Feels Different12:32 CEO Succession Insights17:45 Executive Leadership for Women Program19:04 Challenges Women Still Face24:54 Teaching Global Strategy30:06 Managing Uncertainty & Frameworks For Risk36:25 How AI is Transforming Online Sales38:47 Advice to Students The Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On creating a safe space for women to grow in the workplace19:58: For people who want to move up the career ladder, we need mentors. But a lot of times, people in more senior positions are still men, right? So, that's why both male and female mentors are all important. Because there are still so few women in senior leadership positions, right? That's why if you only rely on more senior female leaders to champion for you, to mentor you, that's not sufficient. You really need mentoring from both male and female leaders. So, I think that is why one benefit of our program is that we really target women who already have some leadership experiences. We create a safe space for them to share their concerns, challenges, and also allow them to share best practices with each other in a safe space. So, we really needed that.Why asking is important for women17:15: [Anthea Zhang] Dare to ask, dare to take risks, dare to get into areas, functions you are not comfortable with, you are not familiar with, which are those factors that are really key. And you have to show your track record instead of saying, "I want to," having a plan or having ambition is not sufficient. You have to show the track record.Higher leadership role means greater responsibility14:35: For people who already made it to top management team positions but still focus on more function-based roles, if you want to make it to the overall leadership role like a CEO, you have to take profit and loss responsibility. You have to expand the responsibility of your position. You know, of course, we see some people transition from CFO to CEO, but what is required for a CEO position is way more, it is way broader than, like, the CFO or chief marketing officer. Show Links: Executive Leadership for Women | Rice BusinessEnergy Transition Strategy | Rice BusinessExecutive Education | Rice BusinessTranscriptGuest Profile:Professor Yan "Anthea" Zhang | Rice BusinessLinkedIn Profile

In this episode, Ashish Kothari is joined by Sophie MacLaren, a leadership consultant and mindfulness expert at Oxford University's Saïd Business School.

In this episode of our hallmark tenth season of the Eccles Business Buzz podcast, host Frances Johnson sits down with Nicole and Peter Mouskondis, the CEO and Owner, respectively, of Nicholas and Company, a third-generation, family-owned-and-operated broadline foodservice distribution company in the Intermountain West. Nicole and Peter are also being recognized with the Distinguished Entrepreneur Award at this spring's David Eccles School of Business Hall of Fame event. Peter describes giving back through boards and the University of Utah after benefiting from mentors at key times, while Nicole reframes service as stewardship and servant leadership tied to community impact. They recount the immigrant journey of Nicholas and Company founder, Nicholas himself, the company's creative beginnings selling dented canned goods, and their eventual growth into broadline foodservice. Nicole explains the values behind “Nicholas and Company,” the shift from the PRIDE acronym to an MVP model, and the Greek ethos of “philotimo.” Peter and Nicole discuss entrepreneurial courage, sales lessons, major innovations like an ERP implementation, people-first leadership and empathy, COVID-era adaptation and food donations, the pressure of being the third generation of a family business, and a structured succession plan as their children enter the business as well.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:The entrepreneurial grit behind Nicholas and Company's success[20:26] Peter Mouskondis: You know, I am a young man, Nicole and I had just gotten engaged. We had just put money down on our house. And I came home and said, you know, "My dad basically has fired me and said the last stop is on sales, and if you make it, that's great, and if you don't, go do something completely different." And, you know, that was scary. You find ways of becoming very creative, and I know at one time I actually slept in my car in Park City because I was waiting for the chefs to come in the next morning. I wanted to be right there when they came in. And so, you get really creative in the sense of what you're trained to either sell or how you portray yourself. And that was not only fruitful, I mean, in the end, you know, thank goodness I was successful there, but it was scary. And that's something I think any entrepreneurial person would go through starting a brand-new company like my grandfather.How changing the mission felt almost sacrilegious but was necessary for the future generations. [16:11] Nicole Mouskondis: We have this secret ingredient called philotimo. So, at every step of the way in that mission statement, there is an absolute nod to everything that is unique about us. Preserving our family recipe for success, the family recognizes that we're a family business. The recipe for success recognizes that we're in food service. And securing the dreams recognizes that this started with the American dream, this immigrant story of an American dream. And everybody has dreams for themselves, their future, their families, for all future generations. And that's really a nod to this fact that we are a legacy business. We intend to be here to stay for generations to come. That secret ingredient in the recipe for success is this Greek word called philotimo. And at the time, especially, nobody knew what that meant. Nobody knew what that was. There still is no single English translation for the word. So, we had to come up with our own definition and explain to people what it was. And in the Greek culture, it is this sense of honor, this love and honor, and this duty and obligation to one another to make things better, to right the wrongs, to do what's right simply because it's right. It's, kind of, all-encompassing, this aspiration. We're not perfect, but it's something that resonates with all of our stakeholders as something that we are trying to become every single day and trying to make that so that it's not just words on the wall, but that we live that aspiration.Why empathy is an important leadership tenet [31:05] Nicole Mouskondis: I think one of the most important leadership tenets ever is empathy. And so, if you can lead by, you know, really trying to put yourself in the shoes of someone else, I mean, at the end of the day, it all comes down to people. And so, when we have to make changes, we don't take those lightly because you're impacting and affecting somebody's world, somebody... It is personal to them. It's not just business to them if you have to make a change that, you know, they feel, like, is not a good change for them.Show Links:Nicholas and CompanyNicole Mouskondis | LinkedInHall of Fame | David Eccles School of BusinessDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

He outlines three actions: (1) immerse in ideas by revisiting podcasts, books, newsletters, past work, and talking with sharp business owners to spark new thinking; (2) get personal through outreach and more conversations, which create momentum, opportunities, market awareness, and insights even if they don't immediately produce new business; and (3) get aggressive by doubling down on making more offers and investing in coaching or consulting, reinforcing a "bet on yourself" mentality. He emphasizes focusing on solutions rather than victimhood, citing his approach to his son Alex's autoimmune condition and his mindset as a college baseball coach after losses. 00:00 Three Moves When Slow 00:12 Adversity Mindset 01:12 Immerse in Ideas 02:13 Get Personal Outreach 03:20 Bet on Yourself 05:08 Solutions Not Victimhood 05:41 Lessons From Family 07:12 Competitive Advantage Wrap 07:47 Three Steps Recap

Drawing on 20 years of experience working behind the scenes with thousands of gyms, he notes most owners have tried referrals, reactivation, promotions, offers, and ads, but fail to execute consistently. He compares marketing to client training: results compound when actions are repeated and refined through practice. He outlines key monthly "boxes" to check—paid traffic, referrals, reactivation, organic awareness, reviews, social posting, strong follow-up, and long-term lead nurturing—so leads can convert later and create a steady flywheel of client growth.

When Professor Yael Hochberg made the decision to come to Rice, she had a vision for building an entrepreneurship program like no other — it would be one for the modern era that would set the pace for entrepreneurship education going forward. Now, more than a decade later, Rice consistently ranks number one in the country for entrepreneurship and is leading the way in world-changing innovation through hubs like the Liu Idea Lab for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Lilie), which offers experiential learning opportunities and co-curricular activities.In this episode, Professor Hochberg, head of the Rice Entrepreneurship Initiative and Lilie, joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss how she brought her vision for a modern entrepreneurship program to life at Rice, the incredible innovation that has come from Lilie over the last 10 years and what the future holds for entrepreneurship education in the age of AI. Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Professor Yael Hochberg00:37 Her “Accidental” Entrepreneurship Origins05:50 Why She Chose Rice & Her Vision for Better Entrepreneurship Education09:18 Inside the Liu Idea Lab16:22 Student Startup Wins19:53 Alumni Network Power22:59 Research-Driven Teaching 30:32 AI and Entrepreneurship35:02 What's Next for Lilie41:47 The Most Rewarding MomentsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On the entrepreneurial spirit at Rice39:31: [Brian Jackson] When I think about the entrepreneurial spirit that's present at Rice, I think a big driver pulling that in is the recognition we consistently get, be it Princeton Review ranking us as a, you know, the nation's top graduate school for entrepreneurship seven years in a row. When you think about that success, what do you think is the biggest driver behind it? What's making that possible?39:54: [Yael Hochberg] I think it's a combination of many things. It's our students, our amazing students who come in with the drive to create things. It's our alumni who are willing to stand behind us and support us. It's people like Frank Liu who were willing to see the resources that were necessary here on campus to, to truly support entrepreneurial ventures. It's the amazing staff and faculty at Lilie who, you know, give 90 to a hundred-hour weeks, 365 days a year to make sure that our students have the support that they need, that our faculty have the support that they need.Entrepreneurship can be taught if there's a drive04:43: People always ask me, what do you mean you can teach entrepreneurship? Why do you guys even bother with entrepreneurship programs? People are either born as entrepreneurs or they're not. They either have that entrepreneurial drive or they don't. I think there's something to that, and that it is true that I can't take someone without the drive and turn them into an entrepreneur. But I can take someone who has that latent drive and who is interested, and I can give them tools and frameworks that will help them be successful if they pursue entrepreneurship. I happen to be one of these people who has that drive. I like to build, I don't like sitting still. When I see problems, I don't like to simply say, “Hmm, that's really annoying.” I try to solve them.AI is changing how fast you can build and test ideas31:02: The tools that are available today really do change how you think about things, because the tools offer you an opportunity to build things faster than you could ever imagined before, to test things faster than you could ever imagined before. We have classes where nearly all of our classes are experiential. The students are actually building something. They're doing something, they're walking through the process, and they're getting it in the wraps, right? And it may be on something stupid like Uber for cats, I don't care. I want them to learn the process and actually go out and experience it. And when the right idea comes along, they'll already know how to actually do it.Show Links: The Liu Idea Lab for Innovation and EntrepreneurshipTranscriptGuest Profile:Yael Hochberg | Rice BusinessYael Hochberg's WebsiteYael Hochberg on LinkedIn

As AI is becoming more common place and innovative, new uses are being found for it.  Higher education for example could benefit from the implementation of bespoke AI chatbots. One person who knows all about this is Sean O'Grady, Lead Learning Designer and Deputy AI Futurist at the IDEA Lab, Imperial Business School. The IDEA Lab is developing tailor-made, course-specific AI avatar lecturers that act as digital twins to several of Imperial's teaching professors. A key strength of the avatars is that they can provide students with real-time specialist knowledge, regardless of geographical distance or time zone differences (in the case of online courses. I recently caught up with Sean and he spoke to me about his background, AI, bespoke AI chatbots, and more.More about Sean O'Grady:As Lead Learning Designer in the IDEA Lab, Sean collaborates with faculty, academic and programme management and media to design and evaluate online programmes within the business school, primarily the Global Online MBA (GMBA). Sean explores how technology can be used to create impactful learning experiences while maintaining a pedagogy first approach to my work.

He argues that relying on word of mouth or occasional tactics is no longer enough, margins are thinner, and a six-figure gross business is no longer viable for most facility-based operators—six figures should instead be an owner's income given the risk of leases and debt. While higher standards and barriers to entry are weeding out dabblers, the maturing market has created real career and wealth-building opportunities for owners who evolve into true business operators with systems and numbers-driven management. 00:00 Why It Feels Harder  00:34 Industry Has Matured 02:03 Franchises Raise The Bar 02:59 New Table Stakes 03:29 Six Figures Then Vs Now 04:56 Higher Standards And Entry 05:34 Bigger Market Bigger Careers 07:54 Evolve Into Ownership 09:17 Opportunities Ahead  

We all have that one co-worker. The one who microwaves smoked mackerel in the breakroom, doesn't pull their weight on group projects, or simply drives you up the wall. It's easy to look around the office (or the Zoom screen) and think, "I am surrounded by idiots." But before you vent to your work bestie... what if they aren't the problem? What if the real issue is the environment? Or worse... what if the problem is you? This week on The Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy Lopata welcomes back international leadership coach, in-demand speaker, and returning guest Zena Everett. Zena is the author of Mind Flip, the award-winning The Crazy Busy Cure, and her brand-new, hilariously relatable survival guide, Badly Behaved People: How to Work with Idiots. Originally a recruitment entrepreneur, she has an MSc in Career Management and Coaching, alongside postgraduate qualifications in psychological coaching and leadership from MIT. She has coached on the Executive MBA Programme at Oxford University's Saïd Business School and is a member of the Associate Faculty at Henley Business School. Today, she runs a global coaching practice dedicated to replacing bad behavior and crazy busyness with productive, thriving, and profitable team relationships. Bringing her signature blend of evidence-based insights and highly entertaining truths to the table, Zena helps Andy unpack his own workplace behavior from his early career. Together, they dismantle everything we think we know about "bad behavior" at work. From the rise of the "accidental manager" to the silent damage of crazy-busy work cultures, this episode is a masterclass in turning workplace frustration into friction-free collaboration. Whether you manage a global remote team, you're navigating the tricky waters of Gen Z vs. older generations, or you just want to know how to politely tell someone to stop playing their TikToks out loud on the train—this episode is for you. What we discussed in this episode: Are you trying so hard not to be a toxic boss that you've accidentally become a "Mama Bear" manager? Discover why overly nurturing leadership is actually setting your team up for failure—and the one boundary you need to set tomorrow morning. There is a specific, old-school workplace dynamic that dictates whether a Gen Z employee quits after 2 years or stays for 5.  Remote work killed the watercooler, but did it also kill your team's best ideas? Find out how hybrid work is quietly breeding transactional relationships, and the brilliant, non-digital strategy one executive uses to get the magic back. Learn why we've lost our social awareness, and the exact script to use to confront micro-aggressions without making things awkward. Learn the brutal—but necessary—questions you must ask yourself to find out if your lack of communication is secretly breeding the exact bad behavior you hate.   SELECTED LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Connect with Andy Lopata: Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | X/Twitter | YouTube Connect with Zena Everett: Website |LinkedIn | The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring Badly Behaved People: How to deal with idiots at work  

As we continue our hallmark tenth season of the Eccles Business Buzz podcast, we will bring you conversations with notable alumni from the David Eccles School of Business and their stories about the impact the school has had on their lives and careers. In this episode, host Frances Johnson talks with Jhareil Hutchinson, a marketing professional and junior project manager for the NBA's Utah Jazz.Jhareil, a 2024 David Eccles School of Business marketing graduate and First Ascent Scholars alumnus, describes some of the barriers he faced coming to college as a first-generation student, and how the First Ascent cohort helped him build a sense of community and belonging. Jhareil credits the program and Eccles with teaching him networking, getting him involved through internships and campus roles, and allowing him to be vulnerable enough to ask questions. Jhareil and Frances discuss his career path, from Jazz team attendant to Cotopaxi intern, to his first job with the Olympic Legacy Foundation, and then back to the Jazz. He discusses aiming to work for the NBA, mentoring current students with his wife Julie, and advises students to not be afraid to pursue opportunities.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web.

But great coaches teach you how to find them. And I think that when I think about that, I kind of just think about the people that are around you, the people that you kind of surround yourself with. People will tell you, “Hey, I have this car; I got this really great promotion. You know, just showing off all these extravagant things, or yeah, like look, kind of just like, look at me, look at me, look at me." And I think that in order to kind of succeed and find those fish and tell you, you know, to have that coach tell you exactly where those fish are, you need to surround yourself with people who are going to be honest with you with tough love but also be like, "Hey, if you want to go down this path, let's do it together." I'm here in your corner to support you. Let's talk about it, let's research it, and let's come up with a plan to actually take action and do the thing that you want to do. I feel like I've always wanted to know exactly where I want to go or where I need to achieve the things, and it's always just about having those people in your corner, but then it's also up to yourself to go out there and do the research.On guiding students toward proactivity, while staying accountable himself[37:50] There's so many different paths to go down in sports, whether that's with sales, marketing, game presentation, whatever it is. So I think it's like a really cool opportunity just because we had some amazing mentors. We had some really cool people to kind of reach out to and ask questions. So I'm wanting to do the same for these students that are in this program. And so far it's been really cool to talk with these students and hear about all the different career paths that they're watching to go down, because it's not all the same. And we don't have the same advice for every student. But, I think the thing that we always tell students is to, again, like we've talked about, like don't be afraid to get involved. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And I think the thing that I get out of it the most is kind of—it's just like a reset point for us, or at least for me. Just kind of like, okay, this student is doing this, and, you know, I'm telling them to make sure that they're reaching out to folks and making sure that they're getting involved and making sure that they have their checks and balances. But am I holding myself accountable for those checks and balances? So it's kind of like a reflection. Like make sure you're telling them to, you know, do all these things for their sake, because we want them to have good grades, we want them to excel. We want them to have a great career, but then we also want that for ourselves.The struggles of being a first-generation student[03:33] I think another barrier that I faced coming into college was just the sense of belonging. Being a first-generation college student, none of my family members had ever even gone to college. So I was the very first one, and I had no clue what to think. I had no clue what to say. I had no clue what to ask. I had no clue who to reach out to, didn't know anything about classes, [and] didn't know anything about internships or, you know, just everything that had to do with college. I had no kind of support system in that sense. And so that kind of put me like, I kind of took a step back, and I was like, "Man, is this really for me?" Like, I don't know anybody; no one else knows about this. Like I'm really here on my own. So it's really up to me to figure out exactly what I need to do. I know there's individuals out there who have had the privilege of, you know, their parents went to college or their brother went to college, and so they kind of had that support system for someone to reach out to, and they had someone to say, “Hey, this is where financial aid is," or “Hey, this is all the clubs that you could be a part of,” and, you know, so on and so forth. It was really tough at first because again, like, I had no one to reach out to, and I had to figure it all out on my own, which was kind of a positive and a negative with my experience coming into college.Jhareil reflects: Wishing his younger self had more courage[31:06] I think the thing that I probably would tell myself is to not be afraid, to not dig my hole before it even, like, starts. I think a lot of the times, like, in high school, like, I was super, super shy. So, coming into First Ascent, having to share, you know, a room with another person, and let alone the whole house with 10 other students, I was like, "Okay, I guess I have to. Just don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Don't be afraid to ask those questions." And I think a lot of the times a lot of students are like, "Oh, like, this is probably not going to happen for me, so I'm just not even going to pursue it." Or, "Oh, like, they're just going to tell me no, so I'm just not even going to do it." And I wish I would've told myself to just don't be afraid. Like, the worst thing people can tell you is no. Show Links:Jhareil Hutchinson | LinkedIn ProfileJhareil Hutchinson | InstagramUtah Jazz | NBA TeamFirst Ascent Scholars | Eccles SchoolDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

He shares results from these programs and highlights Doug's real-world proof through expanding from one gym to three, building a real estate portfolio, and opening new locations. Using these changes as an example, Pat argues that business owners must balance timeless fundamentals - relationships, values, and solid systems - with constant adaptation to shifting markets, increased competition, higher consumer expectations, and changing marketing dynamics. He emphasizes proactive learning (including his involvement in an AI venture fund) and warns that businesses that don't adapt eventually fail. 00:00 Why Evolve Now 00:29 Boardroom Group Origins 01:39 Project 500 Wins 02:29 Unifying The Offer Stack 04:14 Skating Where Puck Goes 04:43 Fundamentals That Endure 06:02 Market Got Harder 07:21 Staying Ahead With AI 09:05 Marketing Changed Forever 10:08 Adapt Or Die 11:34 Play Offense Closing

He outlines common gaps like poor follow-up, weak conversion processes, and low retention, arguing that adding more leads to a broken system only increases cost per client and wastes opportunity. Using a pipeline framework (leads → consult/trial/assessment → new members → retention), he illustrates with numbers how improving follow-up, conversion rate, and retention can multiply revenue from the same 40 monthly leads without generating any additional leads. He invites gym owners to email him to diagnose their pipeline and identify missed opportunities to double or triple lead value. 00:00 Leads Aren't the Issue 00:32 Broken Systems Waste Leads 01:13 Pipeline View of Growth 01:54 Example With Weak Follow Up 03:02 Same Leads Better Results 03:57 Wrap Up and Next Steps

In this episode of Business School for the Rehab Chiropractor, Justin sits down with Hannah Matheson, Rehab Chiro's marketing lead, to talk about what actually makes marketing work in a chiropractic practice.Hannah shares how her role has evolved from marketing assistant to operations leader, and why that journey has shaped the way she now teaches marketing to more than 130 clients worldwide.Together, Justin and Hannah unpack one of the biggest mistakes practitioners make: judging marketing only by whether a new patient walks through the door.They explain why marketing should be treated as a series of tests, why failures are often the most valuable part of the process, and how to measure success using the small wins that come before revenue.Both of them explain what marketing is all about, testing, why failing is often the most important part of the process and why the small wins might be the key to your marketing success.If marketing has ever felt overwhelming, confusing, or frustrating, this episode will help you simplify it and focus on what actually drives results.If you're looking for more help, our next live event is around the corner in New Jersey.

He argues this pattern shows up everywhere: top performers keep learning, show up, and do the work others avoid. While people admire or envy visible outcomes like titles, scholarships, revenue, or lifestyle upgrades, underperformers often aren't willing to be "jealous" of the consistent behaviors that create those results—extra Saturday work, systems, perseverance, and daily discipline. The takeaway is to focus less on outcomes and more on adopting the proven habits and consistency of those who've already achieved what you want, because those behaviors are what separate you from average. 00:00 Success Leaves Clues 00:11 Mental Health Event Story 01:11 Winners Show Up 02:41 High Performers Keep Learning 03:30 Envy the Process 05:32 Consistency Beats Wishes 06:02 Do What Works 07:00 Closing Reminder
