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.

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.

Martin Reeves has spent decades advising CEOs on how to think about strategy. As head of BCG's Henderson Institute, he has built a career challenging leaders to balance efficiency with imagination and to prepare for the next disruptive shift.In this conversation, Martin tells Henrik and Jeremy why AI alone will not give companies an edge and might even strip them of advantage. He unpacks the “two jobs of business”: playing the current game better than anyone else while simultaneously asking what the next game will be. He argues that AI only sharpens this paradox, forcing leaders to think faster, experiment more, and draw on human imagination in new ways.The discussion covers the risks of over-optimization, the future of consulting, and the paradoxes of AI adoption. Along the way, Reeves explains how AI can accelerate exploration, why framing the right questions is the strategist's most important job, and why times of disruption are when number twos become number ones or disappear altogether.Key Takeaways: Strategy is the double gameLong-term success means playing today's game efficiently while also inventing tomorrow's. Henrik and Jeremy stress how rare it is for leaders to do both, yet this is exactly what AI demands.AI efficiency without imagination is a trapAdopting the same tools as competitors drives efficiency but commoditizes advantage. The hosts underline that imagination and unique use are what create real differentiation.The strategist's edge is asking the right questionMartin highlights that strategy starts with framing the real question. Henrik and Jeremy note that questioning and cognitive diversity are crucial in the AI era.Disruption reshuffles winners and losersTimes of change are when number twos become number ones and leaders disappear. The wrap-up emphasizes the urgency of experimenting and adapting now.Human imagination stays essentialAI can accelerate exploration, but creativity, ethics, and originality remain uniquely human — and decisive for future leadership.LinkedIn: Martin Reeves | LinkedInBCG Henderson Institute: Home - BCG Henderson InstituteMartins books: The Imagination Machine // Like: The Button That Changed the World00:00 Intro: Two Jobs in Strategy, Today's Game and Tomorrow's Game01:33 Martin Reeves and the Henderson Institute04:02 Defining Strategy in the AI Era05:12 AI and Human Imagination09:20 Efficiency vs. Competitive Advantage13:18 Organizational Design for the Future23:09 The Paradox of Imagination in Business33:02 Harnessing Serendipity for Innovation35:18 Devil's Advocacy and Meeting Optimization36:51 Where AI Helps and Hurts Organizations38:16 The Limits of AI Training Data42:56 How Martin Uses AI Day to Day47:09 What's the Next Game for Consulting53:15 Final Reflections

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 Armano has a special knack for seeing trends before they arrive. This week David joins Tammy to cut through the AI hype and explain how AI is actually transforming how we work and how we think. David compares AI to the technological transformations in the past and shows how it differs, namely that it impacts almost all levels of the enterprise. David also talks about how different generations are being impacted by AI and why Gen X is especially suited to AI.

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 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.
