On this week's Modern Retail Podcast, co-hosts Gabriela Barkho and Melissa Daniels discuss the rollout of ChatGPT's new Instant Checkout feature that will initially support single-item purchases from Etsy sellers, and how brands are increasingly looking at third-party AI tools as a sales channel. Then they chat about Walmart's announcement that it's removing more artificial dyes and additives from its private label food products amid a growing drumbeat of customer demand for transparency and clean ingredients. Then on the featured segment (16:40), the hosts are joined by Taylor Capuano and Casey Sarai, who co-founded Cakes Body in 2021. Their discussion focuses on the company benefits they've rolled out to improve company performance, and how emerging brands can redefine corporate culture. The company blew up on TikTok and has now surpassed $100 million in revenue. This summer they also made their national retail debut in Ulta stores. Behind the scenes, though, Cakes offers benefits to employees like child care reimbursement and unlimited PTO that the founders say increases company performance in the long run. Their conversation dives into not only why Cakes offers such benefits but how it is adhering to this company culture as it scales, including: the importance of a $3,000 per month child care benefit that is used by around 20% of their team, how Cakes employees schedule and plan to accommodate week-long companywide quiet periods, even during the fourth quarter, and the advantages of being a bootstrapped company when it comes to deciding operational expenses.

Diversity ist in vielen Unternehmen ein Buzzword – doch was bedeutet es wirklich, Vielfalt zu leben statt nur zu posten?Michaela Jaap beschäftigt sich seit Jahren genau mit dieser Frage. Als Head of Corporate Culture & Responsibility bei HAYS und Vorstandsmitglied der Charta der Vielfalt weiß sie, was es braucht, damit Diversität in Organisationen nicht symbolisch bleibt, sondern Wirkung entfaltet – strukturell, menschlich, kulturell.In dieser Folge sprechen wir über echte Veränderung – und darüber, wie HR, Führung und Organisation gemeinsam Verantwortung übernehmen können.Was du in dieser Folge lernst:Vielfalt ist oft schon da – nur nicht sichtbar: Warum der erste Schritt nicht Kampagne, sondern Bestandsaufnahme ist – und wie Unternehmen erkennen, wo bereits Vielfalt gelebt wird.Prozesse statt Plakate: Wie man diskriminierende Muster in Strukturen erkennt – z. B. in Gremienarbeit, Beförderungsprozessen oder Recruitingkriterien – und warum soziale Herkunft oft unbewusst ausgeschlossen wird.Führung braucht Haltung: Welche Verantwortung Führungskräfte tragen – und warum Sensibilisierung, Ansprechbarkeit und klare Konsequenzen der Schlüssel sind.Konsequenzen statt Schweigen: Warum Organisationen klare Grenzen setzen müssen – und wie das Vertrauen und Sicherheit im Team stärkt.Diversity trifft Nachhaltigkeit: Wie sich soziale Verantwortung mit ökologischen Zielen verbinden lässt – z. B. durch inklusive Praktika, gezielte Kooperationen und Sichtbarkeit für neue Perspektiven.Diese Folge zeigt: Wer Vielfalt wirklich will, muss dorthin schauen, wo es unbequem wird – und dann bereit sein, Strukturen zu verändern.Jetzt reinhören – und lernen, wie Diversity mehr wird als ein Versprechen.Und hier ist der Kontakt zu Michaela: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaela-jaap/ Website: https://www.charta-der-vielfalt.de/

Was, wenn Veränderung immer wieder an der eigenen Kultur scheitert?Im Gespräch mit Prof. Dr. Guy Katz, Professor für Internationales Management an der Hochschule München, mehrfacher Buchautor und leidenschaftlicher „Positivizer“, wird klar: Die Antwort liegt selten in Methoden oder großen Konzepten, sondern im Führungsalltag.Für Guy steht fest: Situative Führung ist der unterschätzte Hebel, um Kulturwandel tatsächlich zu ermöglichen. Wer auf die individuellen Erfahrungen, Lebensphasen und die Motivation von Mitarbeitenden eingeht, löst sich von starren Generationen-Schubladen und bringt Vielfalt und Veränderungsbereitschaft ins Team.Guy spricht offen darüber, wie Führungskräfte durch Empathie, Flexibilität und die Bereitschaft, Haltung zu zeigen – auch zu gesellschaftlichen Fragen – Vertrauen schaffen und Transformation nachhaltig gestalten können.Dich erwarten Impulse zu folgenden Themen:1) Was situative Führung im Alltag konkret bedeutet.2) Warum Kulturwandel nicht an Konzepten, sondern an der Unternehmenskultur scheitert.3) Weshalb Generationen-Schubladen zu kurz greifen – und was stattdessen zählt.4) Wie Unternehmen aus Vorurteilen Wettbewerbsvorteile machen.5) Warum Empathie, Motivation und Haltung für Führung heute wichtiger sind als je zuvor.___________Guy Katz freut sich auf den Dialog zu Themen rund um Kulturwandel und moderne Führung.Wenn du dich angesprochen fühlst, dann melde dich bei ihm auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/profpilotguy/ Hier findest du sein Buch: I'll do it!  | https://a.co/d/gPRd2kC Guy's Leseempfehlungen:How to Sell Anything to Anybody von Joe Girard | https://www.amazon.de/-/en/How-Sell-Anything-Anybody-Girard/dp/0743273966  ___________Über unseren Host Johannes Füß:Johannes ist Senior Vice President von EGYM Wellpass, dem Marktführer für Corporate Health Benefits.

Actionable TakeawayStop hiding parts of yourself at work and bring more of who you are into the room.Swap “fearlessness” for courage: feel the fear and move forward anyway.Use vulnerability as a strength because it builds trust faster than pretending you've got it all together.Take a pause to breathe before big conversations because it shifts the whole energy.Get clear on your personal “why” instead of borrowing the company's version.Connect with your team on something beyond KPIs because that's where loyalty lives.Notice where technology helps but don't outsource the human touch.Find your own shape of brilliance and stop squeezing into boxes you don't fit. Connect with Anne Robie:Learn more about Anne RobieAnne on LinkedInConnect with Christian "Boo" Boucousis:Learn more about Christian BoucousisBoo on LinkedInBoo on InstagramBoo on YouTube Support the Podcast:If this episode meant something to you, please consider subscribing and reviewing the show.

Dr. Nombasa Tsengwa, former CEO of Exxaro Resources, joins Bongani Bingwa to reflect on a career marked by remarkable highs and a turbulent exit. After more than two decades in the mining industry, she rose to the top—only to find herself isolated at the summit. Her tenure was marred by allegations of bullying and toxic leadership, with senior executives resigning and accusing her of creating a hostile environment. Eventually suspended amid claims of misconduct, she departed the company she helped shape over decades. Today, she speaks with striking candour, saying she holds no resentment. But her story remains a cautionary tale about the weight of leadership at the top. As questions linger—did she jump, or was she pushed?—we explore what it means to lead, lose, and start over. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Exploring Corporate Culture and M&A with Matthew Person Townsquare-advisors.com About the Guest(s): Matthew Person is the founder and managing director of Town Square Advisors, a firm dedicated to serving the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. He is a certified M&A advisor with extensive experience in buy-side mergers and acquisitions, having led private equity-backed global corporate development departments for firms like IDG, Blackstone, Vista, and TA Associates. Additionally, Matthew has experience as a Vice President at Capstone Partners and has worked with startups and growth-stage companies, exemplified by his tenure at Breakaway Innovation and Hybrid VC. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris dives into the multifaceted world of corporate culture and organizational alignment with his guest, Matthew Person. Matthew, an expert in mergers and acquisitions, introduces his innovative Square Management System, a comprehensive framework designed to help businesses understand and intentionally cultivate corporate culture to achieve optimal staff alignment and business success. Matthew discusses the often overlooked but critical role of culture in the business environment, especially during mergers and acquisitions. Using his Square Management System, he highlights the importance of understanding corporate culture and the individual work preferences of employees to create a harmonious and productive workplace. This episode emphasizes that successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more so than financial metrics and that understanding the preferences for independence or constraint can lead to better job satisfaction and performance. Chris and Matthew explore how culture isn't just about perks like ping-pong tables but is deeply tied to identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback within a company. Key Takeaways: The Square Management System emphasizes four elements—identity, instruction, intercommunication, and information feedback—as crucial for understanding and shaping corporate culture. Employers and employees benefit significantly from cultural alignment, impacting individual job satisfaction and overall business success. Cultural fit in mergers and acquisitions can often predict the success or failure of such ventures, as seen in both infamous and successful M&A cases. Matthew's approach underscores that there is no universally right or wrong culture; it's about finding the fit that aligns the company's processes with employees' natural work styles. Taking self-assessment quizzes can help both employees and executives understand their ideal work environments, ensuring better placement and higher retention. Notable Quotes: "Culture isn't just the ping-pong tables or Thursday beers; it's about identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback." "There's no wrong culture, just your culture, and it's crucial for executives to understand what aligns best with their organizational goals." "Successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more than any financial metric; it's about bringing together compatible systems and people." "Great culture is alignment between the employee and the company. We've often focused too much on broad appeal instead of individual fit." "Our goal is to let people make decisions and own them within a framework that respects their independence and contributes to a high-performing team."

Tom welcomes back the legendary Rick Rule to the show.  Rick discusses the current state of the gold and his thoughts on the uranium sector. Rick also discusses the U.S. energy sector and notes that the the Canadian oil and gas industry, particularly in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, is potentially even more favorable due to political conditions. He contrasts this with the over-drilled Permian basin in the U.S., suggesting Canada's untapped resources could lead to significant growth if policies become more supportive.  Rick's investment philosophy centers on long-term perspective, resilience, and continuous learning. Rule advises investors to educate themselves, act prudently, and build a strong reputation.

In times of uncertainty, knowing what your business is worth—and how to protect or grow that value—can feel elusive. You are never sure what business you are really in. What should you do? How can you retain the value you have created and prepare for the next growth phase, or even the exit strategy? On this recent episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dave Bookbinder. Dave is a business valuation expert whose groundbreaking work focuses on an often-overlooked truth: your people are your most valuable asset. Dave, the author of The New ROI: Return on Individuals, joined me to unpack how business owners can better understand, manage, and maximize the value of their companies—especially in a rapidly changing business environment. His key message? Valuation isn't just a number. It's a reflection of leadership, culture, and strategic clarity. Let me repeat that:  Your business's value is a reflection of leadership, culture, and strategic clarity. What can Dave teach you about how to build and protect that value? The Human Side of Valuation Dave's experience spans thousands of valuation engagements across industries. And while balance sheets highlight assets like patents and trademarks, human capital rarely makes the cut. “Every CEO says their people are their most valuable asset,” Dave points out, “but where do they show up on the balance sheet? They don't.” That gap sparked his first book, The New ROI, which explores the critical link between culture, engagement, and enterprise value. His second, The New ROI: Going Behind the Numbers, draws from his award-winning podcast, Behind the Numbers, which focuses on how leadership and culture truly impact business performance. You will totally enjoy watching our video of the podcast here. Common Valuation Mistakes Dave shared some of the biggest pitfalls business owners face when it comes to valuing their company: Relying on rules of thumb: “Back-of-the-napkin” valuations based on hearsay can be wildly misleading. Dave recounted a client who declined a generous acquisition offer assuming better ones would follow. Years later, the business couldn't command even half that valuation. Tax-driven financials: Many entrepreneurs minimize income to reduce taxes, only to struggle during a sale. Buyers don't take your word for “adjusted EBITDA”—they want clean, auditable numbers. Unrealistic projections: Over-optimistic forecasts, especially those shaped like a hockey stick, often destroy credibility with buyers. “They're buying the future,” Dave says. “And if your projections seem disconnected from market realities, they'll discount for risk.” De-Risking Your Business to Maximize Value Buyers and investors are risk-averse. That's why Dave emphasizes the need to "de-risk" your business: Clean financial statements: Avoid running personal expenses through the business. Have your books reviewed or audited by a CPA. Strong management team: If the business can't run without you, it's not scalable—or sellable. Documented processes: Institutional knowledge should live in systems, not just in people's heads. “If your business can't survive you getting hit by a bus,” Dave quips, “you don't have a sellable business.” Exit Planning is a Process, Not an Event Whether you're transferring ownership to a family member or preparing for an acquisition, Dave urges owners to think ahead. “Selling a business is like selling a house,” he explains. “You need to get an appraisal, clean it up, and understand what similar businesses are selling for.” He also warned that poorly integrated acquisitions often fail—not due to valuation issues, but because of clashing cultures. “Seventy-five to ninety percent of deals miss their synergy targets because they ignore people and culture,” he says. Why Culture is Core to Company Value As a corporate anthropologist, I know firsthand how culture shapes performance. Dave agrees. “It's not that successful companies have a good culture—it's that good culture drives success,” he said. When leaders overlook how work gets done—or try to impose a new cultural model without understanding the old one—they risk alienating key people and destroying value. Culture is the operating system of the business. Your People Are Your Value Dave's work offers a refreshing, human-centric view of business valuation.
