Dr. Jenn Simmons talks with Dr. Robin Berzin about her path from an unexpected pre-med background to conventional medical training, then into functional medicine and entrepreneurship. The conversation covers the roots of Robin's interest in prevention, her early exposure to health and nutrition, and how she built Parsley Health into a national, insurance-covered practice.In this episode, they discuss why functional medicine can work alongside conventional care, how to think about root causes instead of symptom suppression alone, and what it takes to scale a health care company without losing clinical rigor. Robin also shares the realities of fundraising, leadership, and protecting her own health while building a company and raising three kids.Key topicsDr. Robin Berzin's origin story, from international relations and economics to medicineHow a college thesis on hormone-treated beef helped shape her interest in public health, nutrition, and cancer riskWhy she did not initially see herself as a science person, and how she later reframed medicine as pattern recognition and synthesisThe role of her father's internal medicine background, and why she still did not assume medicine was her pathHow yoga, meditation, organic food, and personal health experiences deepened her interest in prevention and whole-person careWhat functional medicine means in practice: using the same medical tools, but focusing on root causes, personalization, and preventionWhy Robin saw a need to standardize and scale functional medicine through Parsley HealthThe tension between conventional medicine and alternative medicine, and why she rejects all-or-nothing thinkingExamples of root-cause thinking, including recurrent UTIs, migraines, autoimmune disease, infertility, and chronic fatigueThe challenge of building trust with insurers through outcomes data, cost savings, and reduced utilizationWhat it took to raise capital as a female founder with no MBA and no prior business backgroundHow leadership changed as Parsley grew from a small team to a 120-person companyThe importance of listening to patients, not just investors or skeptics, when making company decisionsHow Robin maintains her own health with sleep, supplements, meditation, food choices, exercise, and self-monitoringHer hope that evidence-based functional medicine becomes part of standard primary careTimestamps00:00 -

You hit a growth ceiling and your first instinct is to change what you're doing, not fix how you're doing it.Matt Verlaque has coached founders past a million in revenue and sees the same pattern over and over: something works, the novelty wears off, growth stalls, and suddenly a new marketing channel, AI tool, or strategy looks like the answer.Matt and Skye unpack the “pivot chaser” trap, how to tell when a strategy is genuinely broken versus when you've simply gotten bored of executing it. They also dig into AI mania, the dopamine hit of learning and building new things, and why constantly chasing the next skill can quietly keep you from scaling.Because as Matt puts it: “Beginners don't scale companies.”What We CoverHow to tell whether you have a strategy problem or an execution problemWhy ADHD founders abandon the thing that was actually driving their growthWhy skill acquisition feels productive even when it stalls your companyThe difference between “can I build this?” and “should I build this?”Why constantly chasing novelty keeps you a beginnerConnect With Matt Verlaquehttps://mattverlaque.com/Instagram: @mattverlaqueAbout ADHD founders for ADHD founders.

The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head.

AI made it cheap to produce content, and now every cybersecurity vendor sounds the same. Brian Reed, CMO at Corsha, argues the answer to that sameness isn't more AI, it's the human layer: real stories, congruent brand moves, and community. He gets specific on how to use AI as a story partner rather than a content mill, why your customer is the hero of every story, and how to stand out in a market of 4,000 vendors.In this episode:Why AI content creates "mass sameness," and where humans still create meaningThe golden triangle: AI as content assistant and community as the source of real storiesWhy your customer is the hero of the story, never your product, your rep, or your companyThe business-card test for a company story simple enough that every employee can tell itHow to open a sales conversation with a 30-second customer story instead of an agenda slideUsing AI to find patterns, sharpen, and retitle stories, plus building "persona" agents like his crusty OT engineerWhere the line sits between a memorable brand moment and a forgettable gimmick (Wiz vs the puppies)The three kinds of community, why "build your own" is hardest, and why community is never lead genAbout the guest: Brian Reed is CMO at Corsha, working in industrial and OT cybersecurity. His background runs from database middleware and data warehousing in the 90s through application security and the DevOps / DevSecOps movement, including helping build the All Day DevOps community, and he writes regularly on AI and storytelling.Notable quotes:"The tide raises all boats, but they're all drowning in content, and it all sounds the same.""Your product's not the hero, your sales rep isn't the hero, your company isn't the hero. The hero is the people.""Community is never, ever about lead gen. It's brand building and giving to get."Chapters (approximate):00:58 — The ugly underbelly of AI content: sameness04:41 — Who the hero of the story really is07:13 — The business-card test and "us and them"13:13 — Using AI as a story partner, and the crusty OT agent19:05 — Standing out vs gimmicks: Wiz, Island, and the puppies27:53 — The coffee truck, and de-risking bold bets33:16 — The three kinds of community37:05 — Why community is never lead gen Support the showThe Cyber Go-To-Market Talk is the show for cybersecurity sales leaders, founders, CROs, and go-to-market operators looking to improve cyber sales performance and build more predictable revenue growth.

What does it take to become the person others trust when the decision is difficult, the numbers do not tell the story everyone wants to hear, and someone has to bring the conversation back to reality?In this episode of the Culture Matters Podcast, Jay Doran sits down with Dan Bartemus, Director of Finance at MP Parts, for a conversation about leadership, preparation, self-belief, financial discipline, customer relationships, and the power of becoming a steady voice inside an organization.Jay and Dan begin by reflecting on the immersive leadership experience they shared at Hope Farm, where Dan was pushed far outside his comfort zone through acting, improvisation, vulnerability, and public performance. For someone who openly discusses his struggles with self-esteem, the experience became proof of what can happen when you stop allowing discomfort to determine what you are capable of doing.From there, the conversation moves into Dan's role in finance and why financial leadership is about much more than numbers.Dan describes himself as the "voice of reason" inside an entrepreneurial organization. Entrepreneurs generate ideas, possibilities, and momentum. Finance has the responsibility to bring discernment to that energy by asking what is realistic, what the business can support, what the numbers actually say, and how today's decisions affect where the organization will be twelve months from now.Sometimes leadership means encouraging the big idea. Other times, it means being willing to walk into the room and explain why the exciting idea simply does not make sense right now.That requires conviction.Dan explains why leaders should never enter important conversations unprepared. When presenting an uncomfortable truth, challenging an idea, or recommending a major decision, credibility comes from doing the work beforehand. Know the numbers. Anticipate the questions. Understand the evidence. Develop expertise. Then have enough conviction to stand behind what you believe while remaining open to being proven wrong.The conversation also explores the culture of MP Parts and its commitment to giving customers a sense of belonging and peace of mind. When a customer's truck is down, the transaction is about much more than selling a replacement part. It is about understanding the pressure that customer is experiencing and doing everything possible to help solve the problem.Ultimately, Dan's own career is an example of the principle behind Theodore Roosevelt's quote that opens the episode: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."With a journalism degree and no traditional accounting background, Dan took opportunities as they appeared, learned the systems around him, found mentors willing to invest in him, prepared himself for greater responsibility, and eventually became a Director of Finance.In this episode, Jay and Dan discuss:Why growth often begins outside your comfort zoneThe leadership lessons of vulnerability and improvisationOvercoming low self-esteem through action and experienceWhy finance can become the stabilizing force inside an entrepreneurial companyThe importance of forecasting where a business is goingBalancing entrepreneurial optimism with financial realityWhy discernment is one of Dan's greatest leadership strengthsCreating customer loyalty by showing up when customers need you mostWhat "a sense of belonging and peace of mind" looks like in practiceWhy trust is built through consistency and steadinessHow to present difficult facts without losing convictionWhy preparation creates confidenceThe importance of mentors throughout a careerSeeing potential in people and helping them develop itWhy opportunity matters most when you have prepared yourself to receive itDan's journey is a reminder that careers rarely unfold according to a perfect plan. Sometimes the next opportunity is something you never imagined yourself doing.The question is whether you have done enough work on yourself to be ready when it arrives.

What do CEOs say after a town hall meeting ends? Two sitting mortgage CEOs. No script. No talking points. Just the conversation that usually happens after everyone else leaves the room.Fobby Naghmi sits down with Keith Cantor, CEO of First Community Mortgage, and John Overfelt, Owner and Director of Sales at American Security Mortgage, for a roundtable that goes places most podcast conversations don't.Keith says AI is going to cost people their jobs — flat out, no hedge. He's already building AI School programs for all 375 of his employees because he believes leaders who ignore it are failing their shareholders, and leaders who adopt it without preparing their people are failing their teams.John has watched companies fold, get acquired, and disappear overnight. He's watched CEOs post "we're not for sale" two weeks before the sale closed. His take on trust is simple — it's built in every ordinary moment before the crisis, not during it.They disagree on recruiting. Keith develops talent from within and keeps LOs for 7+ years. John buys proven producers and imports intellectual property his team never would have built on its own. Neither one backs down.This is the stuff mortgage leaders think about at 11pm. We just said it out loud.Topics covered in this episode:Personal branding and why blunt beats polished on LinkedInWhat leaders most underestimate about their peopleRecruit a proven producer or develop one from scratch?CEO transparency during mergers, acquisitions, and crisisAI, jobs, and how one CEO is actually preparing his companyThe one thing every loan officer should stop doing tomorrowLaugh, Lend & Eat is hosted by Fobby Naghmi, SVP at AnnieMac Home Mortgage, and co-host Justin Neal of Summit Mortgage Corporation.

Today's conversation is with Scott Weir - entrepreneur, property investor, founder of Pillow Partners and Pillow Safe Havens, and a Krav Maga instructor.But Scott's story starts in a very different place.He grew up in an incredibly difficult environment raised by a single alcoholic mother, often living without electricity, stealing food to survive, and surrounded by people heading down dangerous paths involving crime and drugs.In this conversation, Scott shares how he escaped that environment by joining the Royal Navy at just 16 years old, saving his wages while at sea, and buying his first buy-to-let property at only 17.We discuss the mindset required to break generational patterns, the importance of environment, and how Scott navigated seeing childhood friends fall into crime and heroin while he pursued a completely different path.Scott also opens up about being diagnosed with dyslexia later in life, how that completely changed the way he viewed himself intellectually, and why he now sees his neurodivergent brain as both a superpower and something that nearly destroyed his business twice.We also dive into martial arts, Krav Maga, business growth, building Pillow Partners over the last 20 years, adapting a company to survive modern economic pressures, and his outspoken views on UK politics, property ownership, and the future of entrepreneurship in Britain.Expect to learn:How Scott's childhood shaped his early outlook but did not define his futureHow he avoided the dangerous paths many around him fell intoWhy he joined the Royal Navy at 16How he bought his first property at 17The impact being diagnosed with dyslexia had on his confidence and identityWhy neurodivergence can be both a gift and a challenge in businessHow Scott built Pillow Partners into a major property management companyThe lessons martial arts and Krav Maga taught him about discipline and leadershipHow he's transformed the business to make it “bulletproof”Our concerns about UK politics and the future of property investingWhat success looks like for him approaching 50This was a powerful conversation about resilience, escaping your environment, reinvention, entrepreneurship, and creating a completely different life from the one you were born into.Get 20 lessons from 330 CamBro Conversations - https://colcambro.kit.com/60ed1b527b Get my Linkedin for Sales Guide - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/linked-in-personal-brand-for-sellingGet my Peak Productivity BLUEPRINT - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/peak-performance-blueprint Make Millionaire Money Moves - https://millionaire-fhcpmlvz.manus.space Book a conversation about Private Medical Insurance with Lewis & Mark - lewis.mitchell@wpa-hcp.org.uk and Mark.McKenzie@wpa-hcp.org.uk Connect with Scott:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottweirofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottweirofficial/ Website: https://hosts.pillowpartners.com/ Connect with Col:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/Email List: https://colcambro.kit.com/30bde23b0c Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColCampbell

There is a lot of buzz lately about replacing teams, automating everything, and becoming a “company of one” with AI. But here's the problem: if your business is already chaotic, AI won't fix it - it will scale the chaos.In this episode of The Scalable Expert podcast, Tara breaks down a huge misconception happening in online business right now: treating AI like a business model instead of a tool inside a scalable business model.Because the real issue isn't AI.The real issue is founder-dependent delivery.If your expertise still lives entirely in your head… if your business only works because you are personally holding everything together… adding more AI tools, automations, or “AI employees” won't create freedom. It just creates more complexity to manage.This episode dives into:Why “replace your company with AI” is misleadingThe danger of scaling chaos instead of building structureHow AI should support your business - not become your businessWhy most experts are still the bottleneck in their own companyThe difference between a founder-dependent business and a scalable business modelHow to think strategically about AI instead of reactivelyWhy your methodology matters more than automationThe role of systems, structure, and scalable delivery in long-term growthHow to maintain control of your business while leveraging AI effectivelyThis is an exciting conversation - because for the first time, more business owners are questioning the traditional “grow a giant company” model and looking for a smarter path to scale.The goal isn't to remove yourself from your business completely.The goal is to stop being the engine that everything depends on.You are not the business model.Your methodology should be.If you're trying to figure out how to use AI without losing your strategy, your customer experience, or your sanity, this episode is for you.Chapters00:00 – The AI rant begins01:18 – “Replace your company with AI”02:38 – The dangerous promise behind AI hype03:40 – What happens when automation replaces strategy04:18 – Why traditional scaling never fit05:43 – The real problem with “company of one” messaging06:34 – AI is a tool, not a business model07:22 – Why most AI systems create overwhelm08:30 – The hidden chaos behind “AI employees”09:44 – Start with structure before automation10:42 – The problem with shiny-object business building12:25 – Where AI actually fits inside a scalable business13:33 – Why scattered businesses struggle with AI14:23 – How to use AI strategically15:14 – Final thoughts on scalable business modelsReady to package your expertise into a scalable business model that grows without requiring more of your time and attention?Apply for the Scalable Expert Mentorship™ and learn how to build your Signature Pathway, scalable delivery systems, and a business that runs on your methodology - not your constant presence.Most expert business owners hit a ceiling that has nothing to do with their expertise.The revenue stalls.

Tony O'Neill surfs 200 days a year, runs an executive search firm from the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, and lives a life most agency owners assume they have to retire before earning. Here's the part no one talks about: it didn't come from selling the business or stepping back from the desk. He's still billing, still in Pinnacle Society conversations, and still committed to another fifteen years in the seat. The life came from a decision he made fifteen years ago to reverse-engineer everything and to build a brand, not a search firm.  This conversation is the playbook. Tony walks through the brick wall he hit in year one, the consultants who saved his business, and why he chose an outdoor sporting goods niche his mentors told him was too small. He explains why he switched from contingent to retained in year three, why he refuses contingent work today even with the perfect candidate already in his inbox, and why owning the client relationship is the non-negotiable that separates high-performance firms from everyone else. Then he breaks down the 2024 pivot that added over six figures to his revenue. When his niche got hit, he called every past client to ask how he could improve, and got certified in DISC and Predictive Index. He built behavioral assessments into his proposals with an extended warranty, priced them higher than felt comfortable, and turned them into a recurring revenue line. His framing for clients: two-thirds of hires industry-wide are bad hires, and the assessment moves the customer from a .333 batting average to .500. MILLEE — The judgment that separates big billers the reframe that regains control of a stalling process, the move when a candidate goes quiet — usually takes years on the desk. Millee analyzes every live deal and builds the exact strategy you need, powered by a curated knowledge base from elite recruiters. It's encoded intuition.

Guest: Pedro Rodriguez — Production, Owl Roofing Guest Links: Instagram: @P1Rodriguez | Website: https://owlroofing.comInside the real tension between sales, marketing, and production at a brand-new roofing company. Pedro Rodriguez runs production at Owl Roofing, the new Minneapolis venture that hit nearly half a million in sold revenue in its first real month. In this episode, the conversation gets raw about the friction that comes with going aggressive on marketing out of the gate: lead overflow, the sales-to-production handoff, scrambling to fulfill what marketing promises, and why most roofing companies stay stuck at $2-3M for years.You'll learn:Why aggressive marketing creates production tension and how to manage itThe sales-to-production handoff problem (and the document that fixes it)Why 200 pictures per inspection isn't excessive, it's the bare minimumHow to spend 10% on marketing without breaking your companyThe choice between hiring veterans vs training from scratchWhy they're recruiting $1M reps to turn into $2M reps (not chasing $3-5M superstars)How to build master networkers, not just master door knockersWhy manufacturers (GAF, Iko, Owens Corning) will determine the future of roofingThe bottleneck every new business owner hits and how to delegate around itReal numbers: $487K in month one, 25 leads a week from marketing aloneHow to keep retail roofing healthy without depending on stormsWhy the right culture reinvigorates burned-out reps from bad ownership

Most entrepreneurs are giving themselves the wrong advice. Not because they're lazy, and not because they haven't read enough business books — but because the business advice industry doesn't sort itself by phase. So they end up doing the right things at the wrong time: hiring a fractional COO when they need ten new clients, building complicated org charts when they still can't take a weekend off, choosing typography when they should be making sales calls.In this episode, Chris Cooper walks through the four phases every entrepreneur moves through — and most get stuck in: Founder, Farmer, Tinker, and Chief.It's a preview of his rewritten book Founder, Farmer, Tinker, Chief — originally published in 2018 as Founder, Farmer, Tinker, Thief. The first three phases are sharper. The fourth is completely reimagined.You'll learn:Why building a business is a triathlon, not a marathon — and why the stroke that wins the swim will crash you on the bikeThe primary goal, the primary trap, and the exit signal for each of the four phasesWhy "Thief" became "Chief" in the rewrite — and what it really takes to build a movement instead of a companyThe six parts of a real movement — and why your competitor is never your villainA five-minute audit you can run on yourself this week to figure out which phase you're actually inThere's also a twist in this episode — one the audience doesn't see coming.

Building a successful business isn't just about working harder or having the best ideas. At some point, every owner hits a wall where growth stops being about individual effort and starts being about leadership, systems, and the team around you.In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Podcast, host Adam Robin sits down with entrepreneur and business leader Spencer Shoemaker to talk about the leadership shift every growing business owner must make. Spencer shares lessons from the last year of building and scaling multiple companies, including the realization that trying to be the most important person in the room eventually becomes the biggest bottleneck to growth. Instead of answering every question and solving every problem himself, he explains how stepping back, developing leaders, and empowering the team creates real momentum inside an organization. They also dive into the practical side of leadership: hiring the right people, holding team members accountable, creating clear standards, and building systems that make it easier for teams to win.Throughout the conversation, Spencer introduces the Momentum Formula, a simple framework that helps leaders diagnose why a team or business might feel stuck and what to fix first. Together, they explore:Why many business owners unknowingly become the biggest bottleneck in their companyThe leadership shift from “doing everything” to building and developing a strong teamWhy allowing team members to make mistakes is critical for real growthHow hiring for values and alignment matters more than hiring for experienceWhy accountability and clear standards are essential for scaling a companyThe Momentum Formula: Vision, Motivation, Roadmap, and CapabilityHow to diagnose whether a team problem is about clarity, motivation, systems, or skillWhy simple systems and clear processes reduce overwhelm and improve executionThe leadership mindset required to grow multiple businesses without burning outIf you're a private practice owner, entrepreneur, or leader trying to scale your business without becoming the bottleneck, this episode will give you practical frameworks and leadership insights you can apply immediately.

“If you're not willing to invest in people, you probably shouldn't be an entrepreneur.” — Chris CarterIn this episode of Evolving Your Workplace, host Carol Schultz sits down with Chris Carter, Founder and CEO of Approyo, to discuss the hard realities founders face when building and scaling a company — particularly inside the highly complex SAP ecosystem. From hiring mistakes to enterprise technology transformations, Chris shares candid insights drawn from decades of experience working with SAP systems and leading a global technology company. Chris explains how he came out of retirement in 2011 to start Approyo and quickly discovered one of the most common traps founders fall into: trying to do everything themselves. Early in the company's growth, he delayed hiring key leadership roles and found himself stretched across operations, technology, sales, and management. Looking back, he believes bringing in strong operators earlier would have accelerated growth and prevented unnecessary strain.The conversation explores why leadership teams must be built around complementary strengths. Chris describes this balance as a “yin and yang” dynamic between visionary founders and operational leaders who can manage the day-to-day execution required to scale a company.Carol and Chris also dive into the realities of competing in the enterprise technology space. As the SAP ecosystem experiences one of the largest upgrade cycles in its history, companies are under pressure to migrate legacy systems to modern cloud platforms. Yet many organizations continue to delay these transitions due to cost concerns, internal resistance to change, and employees reluctant to learn new systems.Chris also highlights a growing challenge across the industry: talent shortages and an aging workforce within the SAP ecosystem. With many experienced professionals nearing retirement, companies are struggling to attract younger talent — while at the same time expecting new hires to bring real-world experience rather than just academic credentials.The discussion also addresses the growing role of AI in enterprise technology. Chris shares how he is actively experimenting with emerging AI tools to build applications, automate processes, and help companies understand how artificial intelligence will reshape enterprise systems in the coming years.The episode closes with a conversation about leadership culture. Chris believes successful companies are built by combining accountability with empathy — creating environments where employees are trusted to deliver results while being treated with respect and flexibility.The message is clear: scaling a company requires more than technology or strategy. It requires leaders who know when to delegate, how to build balanced teams, and why investing in people is the foundation of long-term growth.Key topics covered:Why founders often wait too long to hire key leadership rolesThe leadership “yin and yang” between vision and operational executionLessons learned from building a global SAP consulting companyThe massive global migration from legacy SAP systems to cloud platformsWhy many organizations delay enterprise technology upgradesTalent shortages and workforce challenges in the SAP ecosystemWhy real-world experience matters more than degrees in modern hiringThe growing role of AI in enterprise software and business operationsBuilding company culture through accountability, trust, and empathyConnect With Host Carol SchultzFind more information about our host Carol Schultz and her company at Vertical Elevation, LinkedIn, and Instagram.Want to be our next guest expert?

Epstein served as Wexner's financial manager and was granted sweeping power of attorney in 1991—giving him extensive control over Wexner's assets. The series portrays how Epstein leveraged that influence to ingratiate himself into the fashion world and presumed modeling circles, sometimes falsely representing himself as a Victoria's Secret recruiter. Wexner declined direct interviews; instead, he issued written denials, including claims that he was never aware of Epstein's abuse, even though there were multiple early warning signs ignored by him and the companyThe docuseries also makes a compelling case that Epstein's association significantly tarnished the Victoria's Secret brand. It draws direct lines from allegations—such as those from model Alicia Arden and artist Maria Farmer—that Epstein used the guise of modeling to exploit women, to the brand's eventual cultural decline amid #MeToo backlash and reputational damage. Although Wexner publicly framed the relationship as a misplaced trust that ended years before Epstein's arrest, the documentary underscores how Epstein's control and access may have facilitated his crimes—and how Wexner's delayed distancing, combined with a failure to act on internal warnings, contributed to institutional complicity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/mysterious-billionaire-behind-jeffrey-epstein-095140216.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
