How do nonprofits effectively engage a Chief of Staff to build deeper relationships with top donors and family offices that ultimately drive revenue growth? There is no better person to discuss this topic than the founder of Next Level Coaching, Emily Sander. A member of the team that created the original Amazon Kindle, Emily has experienced firsthand what it is like to field inquiry after inquiry for something everyone wants to collaborate with. Many times, nonprofits look past the very people who are in the room when donors, philanthropists, and family offices make strategic decisions on giving. Effectively engaging a chief of staff and the personnel around a major donor is equally, if not more critically important than the principal themselves. Emily provides incredible insights on donor and principal engagement, including tips on building strong relationships with a Chief of Staff, how Chief of Staffs are the ultimate dot connectors, engaging a Chief of Staff in the event planning process, the importance of having a backup plan,   and so much more. This is one episode you will definitely not want to miss.

Andrew Nelson is Chief of Staff to the CEO at Waste Eliminator, where he helps drive strategic initiatives, operational execution, and growth across the company's expanding footprint in the Southeast. Before entering the private sector, Andrew spent six years in the U.S. Army with 3rd Ranger Battalion, completing five deployments across Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He transitioned from the military in 2022 and later earned his MBA from Emory University. Topics:Why Portcos Need a Chief of Staff Military Speed as a PE AdvantageThe Military-to-Civilian ShiftTranslating Military Skills Into Business...and so much more.Top TakeawaysA Chief of Staff can become a force multiplier for a PE-backed CEO. Andrew described the role as part project manager, part operator, and part accountability driver. In lean portfolio companies where leadership teams are stretched thin, a Chief of Staff can help move strategic initiatives forward across operations, finance, systems, and growth projects simultaneously.Clear ownership prevents projects from stalling. Andrew shared a military execution principle he still uses in business today: every task needs a clear owner, a standard, and a “time hack” — the agreed-upon deadline for completion. Many fast-growing companies struggle because ownership and timelines are vague. As projects pile up inside PE-backed businesses, unclear accountability often becomes the bottleneck that slows execution.Military operators fit portfolio companies better than Fortune 500s. Andrew made the point that large corporations can feel slow and highly segmented, while lower middle market businesses offer more ownership, faster decision-making, and clearer impact. For many veterans, that environment feels much closer to the pace and accountability they were used to in the military.The right network changes the trajectory of a transition. Andrew's path to Waste Eliminator didn't come through LinkedIn or a recruiter. It came through a direct introduction from a 51 Vets member who had already made a similar move. One of Andrew's biggest takeaways was how valuable it is to have people a few years ahead of you who understand both the military background and the PE/portfolio company world. 51 Vets is that network, with 500+ members from the special operations and aviation communities and mentors across IB, PE, consulting, and operating roles.About Waste EliminatorWaste Eliminator is a waste and recycling platform focused on sustainable waste solutions and landfill diversion.

Many entrepreneurs feel like their business operations and life logistics are quietly running them, rather than the other way around. In this episode, we discuss how great support—through a virtual assistant or fractional chief of staff—not only boosts productivity but actually serves as a wellness strategy, helping founders reclaim their focus and peace of mind.Nikol's unconventional journey across Bulgaria, Germany, France, and Malta, and how her cross-cultural fluency shapes her approach to supporting founders.The nuanced differences between personal assistant, executive assistant, virtual assistant, and chief of staff—and how Nikol blends and evolves these roles based on client needs.Why genuine connection, trust, and relationship-building are the foundation for successful delegation and operational support.How AI tools are transforming workflows, automating repetitive tasks, and why staying on top of tech is now essential for assistants and chiefs of staff.The impact of outsourcing mental load—especially the “open tabs” in our brains—and how letting go can dramatically improve founders' mental health, focus, and creativity.TL;DR: Delegating operational complexity isn't just about saving time; it's an essential act of self-care and a wellness strategy for founders overloaded by their businesses. Building trust, leveraging AI, and embracing nuanced support empowers entrepreneurs to operate in their zone of genius—with fewer burdens, more clarity, and better health.Thank you for listening!If this episode inspired you, please screenshot and share it on social media—be sure to tag @meganswanwellness so we can cheer you on.

Hello to you listening in Cortland, New York! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. As the story goes the miracle of a human birth is as rare as a blind turtle that swims through the ocean surfacing once every 100 years and happens to raise its head through a single ring of seaweed randomly floating on the water. Equally rare is the opportunity to be living through cataclysmic crises capable of shifting a whole civilization. Internal changes, external pressures or environmental collapse have shifted whole civilizations. Crises are unfolding right before our very lives. Strange to think, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” [2008 Rahm Emanuel chief of staff to President Barack Obama] That being true, how might we exploit these cataclysmic crises instead of letting them go to waste? We start small. Each one doing just one thing beautifully. Why? Small actions done consistently with curiosity, compassion, and hope have the collective power to change the course of history!

John Whaley brings over 40 years of ministry experience to every conversation, including 21 years as a pastor. He currently serves as Chief of Staff for Prayer at the Heart and as Senior North American Pioneer and Executive Pioneer for The Rooftop International. A passionate teacher of the Word and advocate for united prayer, John previously led a city-wide Pastors Prayer Movement in Alabama that united leaders across denominational lines. He now serves on the National Prayer Committee in the United States and has preached the Gospel throughout the U.S. and in countries including Romania, Germany, France, Poland, Austria, South Africa, and South Korea. John's deepest burden is to see every local church awakened to the priority of prayer, the passion of the Father, and the power of the Gospel. He longs for pastors in every city to pray and labor together as one, and for believers to step beyond the walls of their buildings to transform their cities with the Gospel and make disciples who make disciples. John is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and lives in Hickory, North Carolina, with his family.Prayer at the Heart is a national prayer movement dedicated to igniting spiritual awakening in America through unified, humble, and biblically grounded prayer. Their bold mission is simple yet powerful: “One Million Praying. One Million Saved. 50 Days. One God.” The organization is mobilizing 1 million Christians to pray specifically for 1 million Americans to come to faith in Jesus Christ. This 50-day focused prayer campaign runs from Passover to Pentecost (April 5 – May 24, 2026) and builds toward the America 250 National Prayer Initiative — coordinated public prayer gatherings in all 50 states on July 4, 2026, as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday. At its core, Prayer at the Heart calls the Church back to the heart of God through repentance, renewed passion for prayer, and bold witness. Rooted in 2 Chronicles 7:14, the movement emphasizes that real cultural and spiritual change begins when God's people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. Rather than top-down programs, PATH focuses on grassroots activation — everyday believers praying for friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers, while churches open their doors and leaders unite across denominational lines for city-wide and nationwide prayer. The initiative was piloted in Northeast Ohio and is now scaling nationally. It equips participants with free prayer guides, trains state and county representatives, and encourages visible prayer in public spaces such as campuses, workplaces, neighborhoods, and city halls. Leadership includes:Dr. P. Douglas Small – President & Executive Director (vision carrier for over 30 years)Garry Bryant – Vice President & Chairman of the BoardJohn Whaley – Chief of Staff (featured guest)Additional board members and advisors with deep experience in evangelism, revival, and church leadership.The movement is proudly endorsed by Dr. Franklin Graham and Dr. Ronnie Floyd. Individuals and churches can get involved by:Committing to pray for one specific person and receiving the free 50-day Prayer GuideBecoming a state or county representativeHosting or joining local prayer gatheringsSupporting the work through prayer and giving (current matching-gift opportunity)In short, Prayer at the Heart believes that if America returns to prayer, God will return in power — and they are calling believers to be part of that historic move right now.https://prayerattheheart.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

What if the cognitive overhead of constant context-switching, endless meetings, and deciding what to work on next could be offloaded to a system that actually knows how you think?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Michael Leibovich, a business unit leader at Adobe overseeing product, design, support, and business strategy, who spent his paternity leave building something most people only talk about: a fully personalized AI chief of staff, built on Claude Code, powered by nothing more than folders and markdown files.They explore the architecture behind Michael's system in detail, from session memory and mental models to a people file that auto-updates from meeting transcripts, a knowledge graph that grows over time, and scheduled tasks for daily meeting metabolization and weekly competitive intel. Michael walks through how he bootstrapped his minimum viable context by extracting from ChatGPT's memory in under ten minutes, why Obsidian became his visual interface of choice, and the moment he realized this was genuinely worth the investment: getting a suggested answer to “what is the highest leverage thing I should do right now?” in a 30-minute gap between meetings.If you're a non-technical operator overwhelmed by AI tooling and unsure where to start, a leader constantly context-switching between teams who struggles to protect time for deep work, or someone building out your own context infrastructure and looking for a real-world playbook, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

On episode 29 of !Preparate! NYCEM's Spanish podcast, Yokarina Duarte and Ines Bebea discuss the potential dangers for flashfloods and how New Yorkers can prepare ahead of storms. 

What would happen if you had a version of yourself available every morning that already knew your values, your blind spots, and the two or three things that actually need your attention today?   In Episode 106 of the Digital Velocity Podcast, Erik Martinez sits down with Joe Newberry, founder of ExecClone.com, to explore how AI is changing the way high-functioning leaders work. Joe brings a background in tech, finance, and sales leadership to a practical question most business owners avoid asking out loud: how much of what I do every day actually requires me?   Joe tracked his own time and behaviors down to the minute across a 30-day period and found he was only hitting his top three strategic priorities about 40% of the time. The remaining 60% was consumed by what he calls the urgent box, fires, repetitive input requests, and administrative tasks that did not require his level of experience. That data became the foundation for Exec Clone.   The conversation covers the core concept of building an AI "clone" as a leadership tool, including how the True Mirror operating system onboards a user with over 150 personality and values-based questions to create a digital Chief of Staff anchored in who you are and who you are trying to become. Erik and Joe discuss the difference between an AI that knows your most recent conversations and one that holds your past, present, and 10-year goals in memory at once. They explore the concept of emotional drift.   The episode also addresses data security and Joe walks through how ExecClone handles sensitive personal data differently than most cloud-based AI agents, including the option to run the system on encrypted hardware shipped directly to the client.   For agency owners and business leaders who are doing the work alongside their teams, this episode offers a grounded look at what it means to use AI not just as a productivity tool but as a real accountability partner.

Learn how to hire a chief of staff who multiplies your growth and finally gets you out of your own way. Chief of staff might be the two most underrated words in business today. In this episode, I sit down with Bryon Morrison to break down exactly why hiring a chief of staff is the single most important decision a scaling founder can make, how to find the right one, and how to integrate them without blowing up your culture. We get into the founder's trap, the execution gap, and why the artist brain that got you to seven figures can actually become the thing holding you back from eight. Bryon Morrison is the Co-Founder and CEO of Proxxy, where he leads an elite team of professionally trained remote chiefs of staff and strategists that essentially clone SMB executives. With over 25 years of experience in digital marketing, consulting, and education, Bryon has served on the boards of small to medium sized businesses and built a proven model that helps founders close the execution gap at every stage of growth. He is also an investor, advisor, and Adjunct Professor at Southern Methodist University. KEY TAKEAWAYS: A chief of staff is an executive multiplier, not an assistant. The right hire anticipates your needs before you even voice them. Hire someone who complements your weaknesses, not someone who mirrors your strengths. The execution gap between strategy and results is exactly what a chief of staff exists to close. Building trust between a founder and chief of staff takes about six intentional weeks. As your company scales, the role standing next to you needs to evolve with it. Founders who hold on to too much unknowingly disempower the team around them. Reducing founder dependence is one of the biggest drivers of company valuation at exit. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----- Meet R Mini Arnold - my OpenClaw chief of staff, which manages the equivalent of a ten-person team from a Mac mini in my garden studio. While I slept, that AI team debugged its own code at 3am, researched a trending Substack essay using five parallel investigators, and wrote a 4,600-word script for this very episode in 40 minutes. The gap between people who've started building this way and those who haven't is widening every week.  I covered: 00:51 Introducing my OpenClaw agent “R Mini Arnold” 03:59 What my AI chief of staff actually does 07:58 The hardware and software stack 10:38 A morning brief before you wake up 12:05 Overnight agents: research and code 15:00 How I communicate with my agent 18:56 Example 1: the sovereign wealth fund 22:41 Example 2: how this video was written 26:34 What it costs 29:22 The soul.md personality spec 32:39 Am I losing the judgment muscle? 35:46 Individuals vs. Fortune 500s 38:25 What to try this week ----- Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem Production by EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Baba Films, Chantal Smith, Marija Gavrilov.
