Nonprofit mergers and partnerships aren't just survival tactics—they're strategic opportunities to multiply impact and secure long-term sustainability. This compelling conversation with Jennifer Riha, Chief Strategy Officer, and Trent Stechschulte, Chief Legal Officer at Boundless, unveils how strategic growth has transformed their organization's ability to fulfill its mission of realizing the boundless potential of all people.Today's health and human services organizations face a perfect storm: skyrocketing demand for services while resources and qualified staff become increasingly scarce. Against this backdrop, Boundless has pioneered a proactive approach to partnerships that challenges traditional nonprofit thinking. As Trent memorably states, "not-for-profit is a tax status with the IRS—not a business plan."Jennifer shares how strategic mergers have expanded Boundless from serving specific populations in limited areas to reaching over 6,000 individuals annually across Ohio. Their sophisticated partnership toolkit—including scoring systems for potential partners and comprehensive integration planning—ensures these unions truly amplify impact rather than simply combining assets. The results speak volumes: when Koinonia joined Boundless in 2023, staff immediately received higher wages and better benefits, while clients gained access to specialized services previously unavailable in their region.Perhaps most compelling is how these partnerships create the financial leverage needed for innovation. With nonprofit margins typically under 5%, organic growth alone can't generate sufficient resources for technological advancement or program expansion. Strategic partnerships create the scale necessary to invest in the future.    Curious how your organization might benefit from strategic partnerships? Listen now to discover practical insights on building a more sustainable, impactful future for your nonprofit mission.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here During her trip to Wales, Jan Griffiths took a call from CBS Detroit to weigh in on tariffs. That conversation led her to a bigger question: even if we bring manufacturing back to the U.S., do we have the workforce to support it?This led to this conversation with Torsten Schimanski, the Chief Strategy Officer at NJMEP, who's spent years addressing the talent gap in U.S. manufacturing.In this episode, Torsten explains that millions of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. could go unfilled in the coming years, and current efforts to address this issue will not be enough to close the gap.The industry is facing decades-old perceptions of manufacturing work, a massive generational exit, and the reality that most companies don't have a clear talent pipeline or long-term plan. Torsten doesn't just see this as an HR problem. He sees it as a supply chain issue.So, he introduces an innovative approach: apply core supply chain tools—demand planning, sourcing, supplier management—to workforce strategy. That means forecasting the skills you'll need, identifying where you'll get them, and making retention a priority before it becomes a crisis.Torsten also criticizes the passive mindset that waits for the government or outside forces to “fix” the problem. In his words, if you're waiting for someone else to build your workforce, your business might not be around much longer.He's clear about what will happen if we don't take action: production delays, rising costs, quality issues, and constant turnover. Even automation won't save us if no one's trained to run or maintain the machines.This isn't a future problem. It's already here. And if manufacturing companies want to survive the next decade, they must take ownership of workforce development—starting now.Themes discussed in this episode:The workforce shortage threatening the future of U.S. manufacturingWhy manufacturing workforce development needs a supply chain strategyThe effects of baby boomer retirements on manufacturing labor shortagesHow outdated perceptions of factory jobs affect workforce recruitmentThe business risks of ignoring workforce development in manufacturing operationsHow to apply supply chain strategies to manufacturing workforce planningHow NJMEP supports small manufacturers with workforce training programsWhy manufacturers must lead workforce development—not wait for government solutionsFeatured on this episode:Name: Torsten SchimanskiTitle: Chief Strategy Officer at New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP)About: Torsten is the Chief Strategy Officer at the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP), a nonprofit focused on supporting and advancing manufacturing in New Jersey.

Welcome to the Sell With Authority podcast. I'm Erik Jensen, co-owner and Chief Strategy Officer here at Predictive ROI. If you've been a longtime listener, you might be wondering, where's Stephen's voice? Don't worry, there hasn't been a coup. This isn't a mutiny. Stephen's daughter is graduating, and we lovingly kicked him off the mic for the next few weeks so he can fully enjoy that special time with his family. We miss him — but we've got you covered. We built this podcast specifically for you — the agency owner looking to sell more of what you do, in a way that builds a more scalable, more sustainable business — regardless of whatever challenges might be around the next corner. Today's episode is the final installment in our four-part series on the four reasons agencies struggle with sales — and more importantly — how to fix them. I'm excited to sit down again with Hannah Roth, our Director of Strategy and resident mad scientist. Hannah and I are in the trenches every single day, working with agency owners to tackle the issues that keep them stuck. Sales is almost always one of those issues. In this episode, we dive into what we call the practice problem. Why does every sales call feel like the first time? Why do we expect to nail the pitch, but never actually practice it? In any other part of business, that would be nuts. But in sales, it happens all the time. So today, we're going to break that pattern. We unpack how to build a sales process you can actually improve, how to create a system for feedback and iteration, and how to show up to your sales calls ready — not rusty. What you will learn in this episode: The #1 reason agency sales calls always feel new — and how to fix that with one rock solid framework Why practicing your sales process matters as much as practicing any craft The 3.5-step process to running a winning sales call — and where most agencies get it wrong The “Help Me Understand” question framework that turns every discovery call into a trust-building, opportunity-finding powerhouse How to use flashcards, role-play, and real-world feedback to refine your sales message and increase your close rate Why practicing out loud is the best way to show up confidently Resources: Website: www.predictiveroi.com Visit our newly expanded Resource Library Join us in our free How to Fill Your Sales Pipeline Facebook Group Erik's LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-jensen-b9946068/ Hannah's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-roth-387a6b223/ Order your free paperback or Kindle copy of our Book: Sell with Authority

Today, we chat with Matt Johnson - Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Haymaker - the independent, Emmy-winning, full-service advertising agency.Matt takes us through Haymaker's origin story: from launching with no clients or office to growing into a respected agency over the past eight years. With a background at industry heavyweights like 180LA and 72andSunny, Matt brings a wealth of experience and insight into what it takes to see ideas through towards proven results. We discuss standout projects like Pluto TV's Proud to be a Potato, 23andMe's Despicable Me crossover: Genetically Me, and the promotion of the digital release for John Wick 2 as one of their first jobs as a new agency. He unpacks how bold ideas, collaboration, and risk-taking played pivotal roles along the way - also sharing the value of failure, stressing the importance of taking a learner's stance rather than an expert's stance.Matt also gives practical examples on how he navigates the rapid pace of agency work, the impact of having supportive partners, and the importance of a collaborative culture that iterates ideas into the best product possible.Trust us, this is one you don't want to miss.Links:Pluto TV | Proud to be a Potato23andMe | Genetically Me - with Illumination EntertainmentJohn Wick 2 | Digital ReleaseSeattle's Best Coffee | Smoother Days with Joel McHaleEpisode Edited by Jake Petschjakepetsch.com | petsch.jake@gmail.comIf you want a shoutout in a future episode please leave us a written review on Apple podcasts.

When it comes to battery storage deployment in Europe, most of the attention has been focused on familiar markets like the UK, Germany, and southern Europe. But in the background, a quieter shift has been taking place in the Nordics - one that's now starting to accelerate.Long seen as too stable, too hydro-dominated, or simply too slow, the Nordic markets were largely overlooked by early battery investors. Yet growing volatility, falling capex, and the evolving needs of a decarbonising grid have started to change the picture.In this episode of Transmission, we explore what's driving battery investment in Sweden, Finland, and beyond. From market signals and dispatch dynamics to cross-border optimisation and grid readiness, this conversation offers a window into a part of the European market that's now waking up and scaling fast. Quentin speaks with Nicklas Bäcker, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Ingrid Capacity. Over the course of the conversation, you'll hear about:Why the Nordics were initially overlooked: How the prevalence of dispatchable hydro capacity led many investors to undervalue the incremental role of batteries in grid flexibility.Shifting storage economics: How declining capex, increased price volatility, and evolving ancillary service markets have improved the commercial viability of BESS in the region.Scaling rapidly in a new market: Insights into how more than €250 million was raised to deliver more than 200 MW of battery capacity within a compressed timeframe.Complementing hydro with fast-response assets: Why batteries offer unique value even in hydro-heavy systems. From frequency control to short-duration balancing and market arbitrage.A cross-border approach to Nordic flexibility: How project developers are expanding into Finland and other markets, and what differentiates the Nordic power system in a European context.About our guest:Nicklas Bäcker is Chief Strategy Officer at Ingrid Capacity, one of the fastest-growing battery storage platforms in Northern Europe. With a background in energy markets and infrastructure strategy, Nicklas plays a key role in shaping the company's growth across Sweden, Finland, and other European markets. Ingrid Capacity currently operates over 200 MW/MWh of battery storage, with an additional 200 MW/MWh under construction—positioning it as a first mover in delivering large-scale flexibility to the Nordic grid. Nicklas brings strategic insight into project development, market entry, and the role of storage in accelerating electrification across Europe.

How happy are you when you buy auto insurance? If your answer is anything other than thrilled, you're not alone. In fact, years ago, a UK insurance company tried to convince us otherwise with their tagline “Quote Me Happy.” Spoiler alert: Nobody was happy. This raises a fascinating question: What role does advertising play in the customer experience, and why is there such a massive disconnect between the ads we see and what we actually get? In this episode, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton dive deep into the Great Expectation Gap—and they've brought in a special guest: Ben Shaw, Chief Strategy Officer at MullenLowe (and, fun fact, Colin's son). It turns out that years of heated Sunday lunch debates on advertising vs. CX have led to this moment!
