In today's episode of the Second in Command podcast, Cameron breaks down the misunderstood and often misused role of the Chief Operating Officer. Drawing from both personal experience and established research, he uncovers how the COO is not a one-size-fits-all title—it's a role that shifts depending on the needs of the CEO and the stage of the business. With anecdotes from his own time at 1-800-GOT-JUNK and references to thought leaders in the field, Cameron explores how many leadership titles are incorrectly handed out, and why defining the true second in command begins with understanding the personality and skill gaps of the CEO.The conversation dives into seven key archetypes of COOs, from executors and change agents to mentors and MVPs—each fulfilling a unique function within a company. Whether serving as a stabilizing force in turbulent times, guiding a young founder through explosive growth, or acting as a public-facing counterpart to an introverted CEO, the COO's impact is always rooted in complementing leadership. Cameron also explores the often unseen dynamic of the CEO-COO relationship, likening it to a marriage where balance, trust, and mutual respect drive real progress.This episode shows that the role of the COO is anything but static; it's a powerful, adaptive force that, when aligned correctly, becomes the backbone of growth, execution, and sustained success.If you've enjoyed this episode of the Second in Command podcast, be sure to leave a review and subscribe today!

How can you find a mentor? For this Women of Color Rise episode, I speak with Veronica Conforme, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Greenhouse E3, a national nonprofit developing diverse pipelines of future education leaders. Veronica describes herself as a rebel—she turned down her father's advice to become an accountant and instead set out to change the world. Her career includes serving as COO of the NYC Department of Education, leading UP Education Network in Massachusetts, and serving as Chancellor of the Education Achievement Authority of Michigan. Veronica credits mentorship as a key to her success—but not as luck. It came through clarity, purpose, and values-aligned work. “You have to be really clear about what you're trying to achieve,” she says. “I grew up in the South Bronx, saw inequity firsthand, and knew I wanted to disrupt systems and change outcomes for communities like mine.” Because she led with purpose, mentors found her through the work. “I wasn't from the education sector, but when I helped principals rethink how to use their budgets to serve their communities, people noticed. They'd say, ‘Come work with us.' That's where mentorship happened—in the work, through shared values.” Veronica offers this advice for finding a mentor: Get clear on your mission. What change do you want to make in the world? Be open. Stay open to help, new relationships, and new perspectives—even if they come from unexpected places. Do the work. Lead with your values, show what you're about, and opportunities will follow. Make it mutual. Mentorship should be a two-way street. “You're not only pouring into me,” she says. “I'm bringing something to the table too.” Thank you, Veronica, for your leadership and your wisdom.

Because of increased regulations that have resulted in tighter lending standards, banks aren't making a lot of smaller loans against properties that aren't stabilized. This has created a sizeable gap in the market for “Micro balance” short-term bridge loans to operators borrowing $200,000 - $1,500,000 with value-add business plans, especially in secondary and tertiary markets. Brock Freeman, Managing Partner and COO of Kirkland Capital Group, provides loans to this segment of the market where there's far less competition, and therefore better returns for investors.

What if there were tools that could improve your energy, mood, and sleep—without the crash, the pills, or the guesswork?In this episode, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine doctor and COO of Troscriptions—a cutting-edge supplement company delivering science-backed compounds like methylene blue and kava in a unique and highly effective form: the buccal troche. Together, they explore the foundational science of health optimization medicine (HOMe), a powerful framework that shifts the focus from treating disease to optimizing core biological systems like mitochondrial function, the nervous system, and the gut.Dr. Scott breaks down how methylene blue can help restore energy at the cellular level by bypassing mitochondrial blockages—a game-changer for those struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or post-illness recovery. You'll also learn why supporting GABA (your brain's calming neurotransmitter) is critical in a world addicted to stimulation, and how his True Calm troche helps rebalance the nervous system without sedatives or side effects.Whether you're bio-curious or already deep into the world of cold plunges and creatine, this episode will expand your understanding of how to use targeted tools with purpose—all while rooting your health journey in a truly foundational, sustainable way. Plus, Dr. Scott shares real-world tips for busy parents, traveling professionals, and anyone trying to feel just a little bit better every day.Key Takeaways:Health Optimization Medicine focuses on health, not just disease treatmentMitochondrial dysfunction affects over 90% of people and underlies many chronic issuesMethylene Blue improves energy output and reduces oxidative stress in mitochondriaLow-dose Methylene Blue (16mg) is ideal for daily mitochondrial supportHigh-dose Methylene Blue (50mg+) can act as a powerful antiviral and antibacterialThe buccal troche delivery system improves absorption and allows dose controlGABA is the body's main calming neurotransmitter, often depleted by stressTrue Calm troche supports GABA naturally without dependency or sedationMany anxiety meds deplete GABA and lead to long-term imbalancesTools like cold plunges or saunas work better when foundational health is optimizedMethylene Blue can improve jet lag, altitude sickness, and work enduranceBiohacking must be built on foundational health systems like metabolism and gut“Dynamic balance” (not perfection) is the real goal of long-term wellnessHigh-quality sourcing and third/fourth-party testing are critical for methylene blue safetyTroscriptions offers targeted support, but the goal is to eventually need lessLearn More about Dr. Scott Sherr and Troscriptions:Website: https://troscriptions.com/Use discount code FITFAMILY at checkout and receive 10% off your first order.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@troscriptionsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/troscriptionsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@troscriptionsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TroscriptionsX:
Dalton Albertson, Marketing & Business Development at LAD Dental Group, and Brad Lenos, the company's COO, take you behind the scenes of an 11-location Indiana network that began as a single Kokomo practice in 1978 and grew into a dental powerhouse—almost derailed by one bad lease. In Wabash they under-priced a brand-new build by $200,000, a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks location costs are just another line item.They confront the brutal truth of today's “dollar milkshake” economy, where owning real estate feels like a hedge against global liquidity—but inflated rents can turn thriving offices into cash hemorrhages. Their battle over whether to buy or lease has become the most controversial debate in multi-site healthcare real estate, and their lessons apply equally to med-spa operators, veterinary networks, and wellness chains.You'll hear how converting from cash-based to accrual accounting ripped away hidden write-offs, exposed distorted KPIs, and forced every hire to carry new financial accountability. In a 4 % unemployment market where staff wages have doubled while insurance reimbursements stayed flat, they reimagined benefit packages, reconsidered seven-day schedules, and doubled down on airtight 30/60/90-day reviews.At the heart of their success lies ruthless execution and radical candor. Free snacks did nothing to stop turnover, but a culture built on unyielding follow-through and consistent training transformed every department into a margin-savvy machine.

Story of the Week (DR):NEO turnover week MMApple CFO and COO resign, raising questions about CEO Tim Cook's futureApple CEO succession plan blown open as most obvious candidate to step downChief Operating Officer (COO) Jeff Williams, 62, will retire at the end of this year. Following the retirement of former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Luca Maestri, 61, last year, the departure of these 'key figures in growth' seems to signal a significant generational shift within Apple.Meet Apple's next COO Sahib Khan, a 30-year veteran who will oversee the iPhone maker's supply chain amid the ‘Trump tariff black cloud'Twitter/X CEO Linda Yaccarino quits after Grok AI praises HitlerWendy's CEO Kirk Tanner Leaving Burger Giant for HersheyIs this another Peltz failure? Tanner has been CEO of Wendy's since only February 2024Trian Fund Management controls two board seats:Peter May (29%): director since 1993; former Wendy's executive; Founding Partner of Trian; chair of Capital and Investment committee, chair of Technology Committee, member of Compensation Committee, member of Corporate Social Responsibility committee, and member of Executive committee.Matthew Peltz (31%): son of Nelson; Partner of Trian; chair of Corporate Social Responsibility committee, member of Capital and Investment committee, member of Technology Committee, and member of Executive committee.Matthew resigned in same 8-k mentioning the CEO's departure and will be replaced by his brother Bradley Peltz; drafted by the Ottawa Senators and played in the Senators' organization from September 2012 to January 2013.Always my favorite line: “There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. B. Peltz and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. B. Peltz was selected as a director.”His photo on website:leaving Tanner (8%) with a small voiceGolden hello at Hershey: (i) $7M RSU Award (ii) $4M PSU Award, (iii) an additional $1.2M Pro-Rata 2025 RSU Award, and (iv) an additional $2.2M Pro-Rata 2025 RSU AwardWendy's: salary $1M; 175% annual target; $6M annual equity targetHershey: $1.25M/180%/$9MAlso Kristin Dolan, James Dolan wifeHershey not much different: controlled by Hershey Trust and several Hershey Trust directorsInterim CEO is CFO Ken Cook, who started in December 2024Tesla announces Nov. annual meeting under pressure from shareholders, but may still be skirting lawElon Musk's Tesla finally sets a shareholder meeting date amid doubts about his long-denied $56 billion pay packageThe exciting Item 5.08 (which I never see): “The board of directors (the “Board”) of Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”) has designated November 6, 2025 as the date of Tesla's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”).”T-Mobile follows orders from Trump FCC, ends DEI to get two mergers approved"As T-Mobile indicated earlier this year, we recognize that the legal and policy landscape surrounding DEI under federal law has changed and we remain fully committed to ensuring that T-Mobile does not have any policies or practices that enable invidious discrimination, whether in fulfillment of DEI or any other purpose," T-Mobile General Counsel Mark Nelson wrote in a July 8 letter that was posted to the Federal Communications Commission's filings website yesterday. "We have conducted a comprehensive review of T-Mobile's policies, programs, and activities, and pursuant to this review, T-Mobile is ending its DEI-related policies as described below, not just in name, but in substance."CEO Mike Sievert: CNN Business recognized Mike as “CEO of the Year” in 2022, and Yale honored him in 2024 with its “Legend in Leadership Award,” in part due to the impact of these initiatives.UPS Drivers Are Battling Deadly Heat—Without A.C. in Their TrucksWhy is the company dragging its heels on updating the vehicles, as the new union contract requires?As part of the contract the union negotiated with UPS in 2023, the company is now required to provide workers with several protections against the kind of extreme heat many of them are facing across the U.S. right now. Those include readily available clean water and ice, as well as access to “cool zones” and the right to take and extend breaks when they feel overheated. The contract further mandated UPS to install fans in the largely non-air-conditioned warehouses where packages are sorted and loaded, and in the front of vehicles. Delivery trucks have also been outfitted with heat exhaust shields and vents. UPS Teamsters, though, are still waiting on some of these historic protections. UPS is required to equip its fleet with at least 28,000 new air-conditioned delivery trucks by the time the current contract expires in 2028; toward that end, all new vans UPS purchases after January 1, 2024, are supposed to have air conditioning. As of last summer, CNN reported, it hadn't bought any. UPS Brand Management Representative Becca Hunnicut did not directly answer my questions about whether UPS has purchased any new delivery vehicles equipped with air conditioning since the beginning of 2024 and if any of its delivery trucks currently have air conditioning. She wrote over email that the company is “installing air conditioning in all new delivery vehicles we buy and adding them as quickly as possible,” adding that UPS does not “publicly share the number of vehicles we purchase” and that it is “prioritizing deployment in the hottest regions.”Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: ‘Prevention is better than remedy': majority of investors say governance gaps attract activists, research shows MM DR84 percent of investors polled, who hail from North America, Europe (including the UK) and Asia, said that poor governance was the main driver of activist investor attention.Investors also largely (71 percent) favor activism targeting the board on governance and management change versus operational (10 percent), balance sheet (3 percent) or M&A activism (3 percent)MM: Tesla announces Nov. annual meeting under pressure from shareholders, but may still be skirting lawAssholiest of the Week (MM):Democracy73% of votes cast in alternative democracy were for directors in the US0.01% of directors up for a vote were voted out - incumbency rulesWe know governance in corporations isn't working, and it's the primary driver of activism: ‘Prevention is better than remedy': majority of investors say governance gaps attract activists, research showsGovernance proponents were the only winners in the shareholder proposal space with an 18% win rateWe know money doesn't care nearly as much about performance as it cares about power status quo:Vote Gap - directors batting .333 or lower on TSR vs. average vote at the companyAverage vote gap was actually +1.3% - bottom directors outperformed average vote at the companiesWe know that only 22% of US directors have “merit”, but we know that more than 1 in 4 directors are connected to each other through other boards and non profits - including the CEOSo we should all fucking lose our minds when…New York's Financial Crowd Rushes to Build Anti-Mamdani War Chest - no more buying electionsJamie Dimon criticizes Zohran Mamdani as 'Marxist,' blasts Democrats' DEI push: 'Big hearts and little brain' - shut your fat mouthAdvertisersYour ads are now next to AI for middle school boysGrok praises Hitler, gives credit to Musk for removing “woke filters”Grok's harmful outputs come at a time when advertisers have just begun returning to X, after X first sued advocacy groups publishing reports of hate speech on the platform, then sued advertiser groups who boycotted the platform allegedly partly due to those reports. Most recently, X's plan to sue firms that don't buy ads has seemed to pay off, while the Federal Trade Commission has moved to stop advertising boycotts, which may help X avoid losing revenue no matter what Grok is trained to say.Musk says Grok chatbot was 'manipulated' into praising HitlerGrok 4 appears to seek Elon Musk's views when answering controversial questionsNo more hedging “well, he is a brilliant businessman and innovator” - Elon Musk is a fucking nightmare, antisemite, misogynist pig baby.We don't say “Well, Hitler was a brilliant dictator, but you know, Holocaust.” Musk is pure shitbird.
