When you think about transformation in beauty, few stories are as fascinating as the one unfolding at Rodan + Fields.  In this episode, Rose Hamilton, CEO of Compass Rose Ventures, sits down with Anncy Rowe, Chief Commercial Officer, who is leading the company through one of the most ambitious reinventions in the industry — evolving from a billion-dollar direct-selling brand into a modern omni-channel powerhouse.  Anncy's background includes some of the most iconic names in beauty — Maybelline, Garnier, and IT Cosmetics — and she's now using that experience to bridge legacy and innovation at Rodan + Fields. What struck me most about Anncy's leadership is her ability to balance conviction and curiosity. She's fiercely protective of the brand's DNA — its female-founded roots, dermatology-driven credibility, and loyal consultant community — while introducing fresh storytelling, modern retail partnerships, and a bold "Love What You See" campaign that redefines clinical luxury for today's consumer. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: * Purpose Meets Reinvention: How Rodan + Fields is blending its heritage of women-led dermatology with a new omni-channel model that meets consumers wherever they shop — from consultants to DTC to Ulta. * Clinical Luxury, Redefined: The brand's unique formulation philosophy — "no more, no less" — and why restraint, not volume, is the most powerful form of innovation. * Storytelling with Conviction: Anncy's approach to brand transformation is rooted in founder DNA, purpose, and authenticity rather than chasing trends. * Female-Founded Advantage: How being the #1 female dermatologist-founded skincare brand is both a point of pride and a call to elevate more women in science and leadership. * Culture as the Growth Engine: Inside the company's transformation — from hiring and leadership mindset shifts to building agility, clarity, and confidence across teams. Join us in listening to this episode to hear how Anncy Rowe and the Rodan + Fields team are proving that legacy and reinvention can coexist beautifully — and that true transformation starts with purpose, people, and belief.

The dental industry is chronically supply-constrained: 97% of dentists report staffing as their primary volume limiter, 95% cite extreme recruiting difficulty, yet 75% of hygienists prioritize schedule flexibility above all else. This structural mismatch created the opportunity for Toothio—a labor marketplace connecting dental professionals seeking flexible work with practices facing critical staffing shortages. In this episode, we sat down with Ian Prendergast, Co-Founder and CEO of Toothio, to unpack how he applied labor marketplace principles from hospitality and light industrial verticals to dental, why DSO enterprise customers emerged as the true ICP only after launch, and how being an industry outsider enabled business model innovation that insiders missed. Topics Discussed: How a single golf course conversation with a dentist exposed the 97% staffing crisis and validated the market opportunity Translating labor marketplace GTM from Qwick (hospitality staffing) and Steady Install (light industrial) into dental The supply-demand structural imbalance: dental growing 10.5% CAGR, 40% workforce departure in 2020, insufficient pipeline Supply-first marketplace development and why quality/reliability required deep supply pools before demand acquisition The ICP evolution from private practices (faster sales cycles, lower risk validation) to DSO enterprise (higher volume, stickier retention) Building credibility as outsider founders through strategic SME hires, advisors, and embedding in industry associations The enterprise motion: hiring CCO and SVP Sales with dental Rolodexs to access top-10 DSO decision-makers Quantifying previously unmeasured costs: 100%+ recruiting cost increases, industry-leading turnover rates, $1,560+ daily production loss per unstaffed hygienist Leveraging AI agentic systems to eliminate geographic marketplace constraints for national expansion The moat-building roadmap: layering SaaS and RCM software over the distribution channel to increase switching costs GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Supply depth before demand scale prevents unit economics collapse: Ian's experience across three labor marketplaces reinforced one principle: excess supply is recoverable, excess demand is catastrophic. With too much demand and insufficient supply, you're "spending a bunch of money to acquire these demand users, but you're not able to fulfill the supply side. So now they're churning out at a high clip, they're going somewhere else. And now it drives up your CAC across the marketplace and reduces your lifetime value." In two-sided marketplaces, founders must resist investor pressure to show demand-side revenue before supply reliability is proven—the temporary revenue bump destroys long-term unit economics. ICP clarity requires live market data, not pre-launch assumptions: Toothio launched targeting private practices (shorter sales cycles, lower barriers, faster learning) before discovering DSOs were the actual ICP through usage cohorts showing materially higher volume and retention. Ian was explicit: "Once we got into it, we realized...the true ICP is going to be our group practices." The tactical framework: establish presence across plausible segments, instrument everything, collect 1-2 quarters of behavioral data, then redirect resources to wherever retention and expansion metrics are strongest. This data-driven ICP discovery prevents premature optimization around the wrong customer profile. Hire senior enterprise operators when you have validation plus clear TAM: Toothio broke conventional early-stage wisdom by hiring a Chief Commercial Officer and SVP Sales—roles typically considered "top-heavy"—because Ian had validated product-market fit and identified a concentrated enterprise opportunity (hundreds of DSOs). The result: "Next thing you know, we're in front of five or six of the top eight or ten DSOs in the country." The decision framework: if you have (1) proven unit economics, (2) clear product-market fit signals, and (3) an enterprise TAM with established relationship networks, senior hires with category Rolodexs can compress multi-year enterprise sales cycles into quarters. Without all three conditions, follow conventional wisdom and stay lean. Outsider economic analysis creates differentiated value propositions: Ian's non-dental background enabled him to "look at the dental office P&L and the core drivers of production with a completely neutral lens and realize that there was a lot of waste." He quantified what insiders hadn't: recruiting costs up 100%+ in five years, dental turnover among the highest of any U.S. industry, and the compounding cost of cancelled patient days (immediate production loss + 20% patient churn × $10-15K lifetime values). This economic framing repositioned Toothio from "staffing vendor" to strategic finance partner. The pattern: outsiders should weaponize their fresh perspective by conducting rigorous economic impact analysis that category incumbents haven't done, then speak to buyers in CFO language rather than operational features. Industry association involvement is enterprise distribution, not brand marketing: Ian credited local and national dental association sponsorships as "the catalyst to get us on the radar of some of the bigger orgs early" because associations created credibility signals plus network effects at scale. In relationship-driven B2B categories with strong professional associations (dental, legal, accounting, healthcare), sponsorship generates repeated exposure to concentrated decision-maker populations and warm introduction paths that cold outbound can't replicate. Founders should map the association landscape in year one, treat it as a primary distribution channel with measurable pipeline contribution, and staff it with team members who can build genuine relationships—not just write checks. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

The Great Freight Recession continues its relentless purge in the carrier sector, claiming Illinois-based VIB Trans, a 29-truck carrier, as the ⁠latest casualty to file for Chapter 11 amid deeply depressed spot rates and relentlessly high operating costs⁠. This pain is accelerating due to an 18% drop in freight volumes coupled with immense overcapacity, driven by 310,000 new trucks and 200,000 new CDLs added to the system since 2019. Strategic experts are anticipating the ⁠Largest capacity purge in history coming⁠ as new regulations tighten enforcement around non-domiciled CDLs and ELP requirements. This regulatory squeeze could eliminate up to 600,000 active drivers from the system, potentially leading to sharp volatility spikes and market rationalization that ultimately benefits surviving carriers with higher pay and increased freight rates. While carriers fight for survival, the brokerage world is thriving, ⁠C.H. Robinson again is strong, and Wall Street throws roses⁠ after the company posted extremely strong third-quarter performance, including a 22.6% increase in income from operations. C.H. Robinson's core North American Surface Transport segment successfully grew combined truckload and LTL volume by 3%, demonstrating significant market share growth against a declining industry benchmark. In strategic updates, ⁠UPS is reversing its costly insourcing strategy for low-budget shipments⁠, tentatively agreeing to UPS, Postal Service to reunite for delivery of low-budget shipments via the USPS last-mile network. This reversal acknowledges that UPS's internal cost structure struggled to compete, especially after Ground Saver volume plummeted nearly 33% year-over-year. Internationally, the U.S. and China suspended ⁠punitive reciprocal fees on docking ships for one year amid trade talks⁠, which were originally imposed to revive U.S. shipbuilding. Plus, we cover immediate executive changes at CSX as CEO Steve Angel switches up leadership, ⁠naming Kevin Boone CFO and promoting Mary Clare Kenny to Chief Commercial Officer⁠.

This regulatory squeeze could eliminate up to 600,000 active drivers from the system, potentially leading to sharp volatility spikes and market rationalization that ultimately benefits surviving carriers with higher pay and increased freight rates. While carriers fight for survival, the brokerage world is thriving, C.H. Robinson again is strong, and Wall Street throws roses after the company posted extremely strong third-quarter performance, including a 22.6% increase in income from operations. C.H. Robinson's core North American Surface Transport segment successfully grew combined truckload and LTL volume by 3%, demonstrating significant market share growth against a declining industry benchmark. In strategic updates, UPS is reversing its costly insourcing strategy for low-budget shipments, tentatively agreeing to UPS, Postal Service to reunite for delivery of low-budget shipments via the USPS last-mile network. This reversal acknowledges that UPS's internal cost structure struggled to compete, especially after Ground Saver volume plummeted nearly 33% year-over-year. Internationally, the U.S. and China suspended punitive reciprocal fees on docking ships for one year amid trade talks, which were originally imposed to revive U.S. shipbuilding.

The Artificial Intelligence Collaboration Centre (AICC) has launched Northern Ireland's first Responsible AI Hub - a groundbreaking online resource designed to help businesses, policymakers and individuals understand, adopt and apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) responsibly. Developed by the AICC - a collaborative initiative led by Ulster University in partnership with Queen's University Belfast - and spearheaded by Tadhg Hickey, Head of AI and Digital Ethics Policy, the Hub is built on one simple principle: responsible AI is everyone's responsibility. Whether you're completely new to AI or already developing and deploying AI solutions, the Hub provides practical, accessible tools and guidance to help users 'be good with AI'. Supported by Invest Northern Ireland and the Department for the Economy, the Responsible AI Hub brings together clear guidance, ethical frameworks, and practical governance tools, all designed to make responsible AI accessible to everyone. By helping organisations integrate good governance from the outset, the Hub enables faster, safer innovation and reduces the risk of costly retrofits or regulatory breaches later on. From business leaders and policymakers to developers, researchers and the general public, the Hub offers step-by-step support to help people understand what responsible AI means and how to put it into practice. Among the resources are a Data Fact Sheet Developer, Harm Assessments, an Idea Testing Tool, an AI Policy Builder, and a suite of Project Governance Tools, all created by AICC's in-house team of applied researchers and data scientists. These tools are already being embedded across SME collaborations to promote responsible and transparent AI development in Northern Ireland. Tadhg Hickey, Head of AI and Digital Ethics Policy at AICC, said: "We built the Responsible AI Hub because AI shouldn't feel out of reach. Whether you're curious about what responsible AI means or designing complex AI solutions, this Hub gives you the confidence, language and tools to make good choices. Responsible AI isn't just for data scientists - it's for everyone. The more people who understand and apply these principles, the more we can build trust and unlock AI's potential for good." As AI continues to transform industries and daily life, the Responsible AI Hub aims to make ethics and accountability part of Northern Ireland's innovation DNA, ensuring technology serves people - not the other way around. David Crozier CBE, Director of the AICC, added: "The Responsible AI Hub is about building a culture where innovation and integrity go hand in hand. It empowers businesses, individuals, and communities to be confident and capable with AI, strengthening Northern Ireland's position as a global leader in trusted, human-centred innovation. This Hub will help local businesses adopt AI not only quickly, but responsibly and productively." Anne Beggs, Chief Commercial Officer at Invest Northern Ireland, said: "The development of AICC's Responsible AI Hub directly supports our business strategy, which prioritises accelerating innovation and fostering collaboration as part of our role to support City and Growth Deals project delivery. It will help Northern Ireland's businesses and innovators embrace AI in ways that are not only productive and competitive, but also safe, inclusive and ethical. By equipping organisations with the tools to innovate with integrity, we are laying the foundations for a world-class, responsible digital economy." Since its establishment, the AICC has rapidly become the driving force behind responsible AI adoption in Northern Ireland. In just over a year, it has assembled a team of 19 experts across Belfast and Derry~Londonderry, engaged more than 100 SMEs through its flagship Transformer Programme, supported 260 postgraduate scholars and delivered AI training to over 360 professionals. With its remit now extended to 2029, the AICC is set to expand its impact - accelerating innovation, strengt...
