Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast. In this Hall of Fame episode, we sit down with one of our Property Entrepreneur Masterminders, Steve Hammond, Director of New Home Company, to explore his transformative journey over the past three years within the Property Entrepreneur community. From a business owner caught in the weeds to a strategic leader with a high-performing team, Steve shares how PE gave him the blueprint to “get out of the way” and let his business thrive. Thanks to Property Entrepreneur, Steve gained clarity around building a world-class team, implementing national-level systems and processes, and learning to measure what truly matters. With the support of the community and framework, he has appointed a new Project Manager and Finance Manager, developed a full operations manual and SOPs, and introduced a Director's Dashboard that drives better planning and accountability through clear targets and KPIs. Steve's mindset has shifted dramatically. He no longer sees himself as the hero who must do it all. Instead, he has embraced being a leader - one who delegates effectively, empowers the right people in the right seats, and communicates with confidence. These internal shifts have helped him overcome perfectionism, restructure his operations, and create a business that is designed for growth, sustainability, and freedom. Throughout his journey, Steve and his company have been recognised both within PE and beyond. New Home Company was nominated for Networking Event of the Year, won Development of the Year, and Steve himself was voted Whitebox Mentee of the Year by fellow mentees—reflecting the high regard in which he's held by peers and partners alike. Beyond business, Steve has made a significant impact in the charity space. As a top fundraiser for Get Up and Give Back, he personally raised over £20,000, while inspiring his network to raise tens of thousands more. His approach to fundraising mirrored his approach to business: focus on team spirit, gamify the process, and raise the standard. These efforts not only supported meaningful causes but also showcased the power of leadership, culture, and purpose. Steve's advice to entrepreneurs is simple: if you're still stuck in the day-to-day, it's time to build a world-class team, implement scalable systems, and measure what matters. And most importantly—get out of your own way. Success and failure are both very predictable. I hope you enjoy. This isn't a theory. It's a proven Blueprint.
Wednesday morning, hundreds of business and civic leaders gathered at an event called “Compete 25” to talk about the state of the Minneapolis and St. Paul economy. The group Greater MSP unveiled the MSP Regional Indicators Dashboard, which looks at economic, social and environmental benchmarks and compares it to other metropolitan cities to see how the Twin Cities stacks up. Some of those other cities include Chicago, Boston and Seattle. Greater MSP president and CEO Peter Frosch joins MPR News host Nina Moini to share where the Minneapolis-St. Paul economy stands.
This week, Tracy Bech explains how and why she spent six months building, training, and testing her brand new 60 Minute Custom GPT, which is essentially an AI CFO that can perform all kinds of financial analysis on your business. You can interact with it as easily and conversationally as you do with ChatGPT, and it can help you figure out why your margins are off, or how you should expect to perform next quarter, or whether that new service you plan to offer will be profitable. And it's free.

Last week, that law came into full effect. It criminalizes the use of VPNs, mandates that platforms store and hand over user data to officials upon request, and allows authorities to shut down Internet access at will. It also empowers regime-aligned law enforcement with the absolute authority to check citizens' phones on the street. Penalties include up to six months in prison for sharing posts deemed “misinformation” or for using encrypted apps (like VPNs) to access information. Reports have already surfaced of police extorting bribes from people at checkpoints for having VPNs or “illegal social media” like X, Facebook, or YouTube on their phones. The law poses immediate threats to journalists and activists critical of the military regime or using privacy tools. Amid the junta's effort to stage a sham election to expand militarized control, this deepens Burma's retreat from civic freedoms and shrinks the already fragile space for independent voices and the free flow of information.

Welcome back to This is True Really News with Scot Combs and Tony Verkinnes! In this wild episode, we cover the strangest true stories making headlines:
In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, wie man den nächsten sinnvollen Data-Science-Use-Case identifiziert. Egal ob man gerade erst mit Daten startet oder schon komplexe Produkte im Einsatz hat. Wir klären, wer in den Prozess einbezogen werden sollte, worauf man bei der Ideenfindung achten sollte und wie man Use Cases richtig bewertet. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Perspektive der Nutzer*innen und die Umsetzbarkeit in Bezug auf Daten, Methoden und Technik. Eine Folge für alle, die Orientierung suchen, um den weiteren Weg auf ihrer Data-Journey zu gestalten. **Zusammenfassung** Zielgruppe: Organisationen, die mit Daten Mehrwert schaffen wollen, aber unklar sind, welcher Use Case der nächste sein sollte Ausgangssituation: Entweder besteht noch keine Idee, oder es gibt bereits eine Idee, deren Umsetzbarkeit geprüft werden soll Beteiligte Rollen: Entscheider*innen, Fachexpert*innen, Anwender*innen sowie Data- & IT-Personal sollten früh eingebunden werden Ideation-Phase: Kreative Suche nach Problemen mit Hebelwirkung mit Fokus auf Pain Points, Engpässe, repetitive Tätigkeiten und Business Value Nutzer*innenzentrierung: Anforderungen, Nutzungskontext und Entscheidungsprozesse der Anwender*innen bestimmen, was ein Use Case leisten muss Technische Implikationen: Die Form der Ergebnisausspielung (z. B. Dashboard, API, E-Mail) hängt direkt vom Nutzungskontext ab Machbarkeitsprüfung: Datenlage, methodische Passung und technische Umsetzbarkeit werden realistisch bewertet Datenstruktur: "Must-have" vs. "Nice-to-have"-Daten, typische Hürden wie fehlende IDs, Möglichkeiten zur Verknüpfung Reifegrad beachten: Nicht zu groß denken, sowohl Überforderung bei geringer Reife als auch Overengineering bei hoher Reife vermeiden Dienstleisterfrage: Strategisches Assessment und Umsetzung trennen oder vereinen, beide Varianten haben nachvollziehbare Vor- und Nachteile **Links** Das Data & AI Design Thinking Workshop Canvas von Datentreiber https://www.datentreiber.com/de/data-and-ai-design-thinking-workshop-canvas/#canvas #70: Der Aufstieg zur Datenreife – Stufe für Stufe zur Data Maturity https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-a7663-1882b25 #63: Data Mining: der pragmatische Weg zu Datenreife & Datenkultur mit Prof. Dr. Ana Moya https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-d38qj-1799899 #36: Der Data Mesh Hype und was davon bleibt https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-7er7v-15080c1 #2: Erfolgsfaktoren für Predictive Analytics Projekte https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-kdcmd-12460ab
This week Pastor J kicked off our new series Dashboard Indicators with a message on connection. Just like a branch can't thrive when it's cut off from the tree, we can't thrive when we're disconnected from Jesus and His people. Faith isn't meant to be lived solo—it's meant to be lived together.
In this episode, we'll explore how the new Amazon EKS Dashboard solves key challenges in managing Kubernetes at scale across multiple AWS accounts and regions. We'll discuss how it provides centralized visibility into cluster health, versions, and costs - enabling teams to improve governance, streamline operations, and optimize their Kubernetes infrastructure. Listeners will learn about key use cases like version lifecycle management, upgrade planning, add-on governance, and cost forecasting. We'll provide both a high-level overview for architects and managers, as well as dive into some of the technical details that will interest Kubernetes practitioners. 1) Whats New Post: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/05/eks-dashboard-multi-cluster-view-kubernetes-infrastructure-aws-regions-organizations/ 2) EKS Dashboard User Guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/cluster-dashboard.html 3) Deep Dive blog: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/deep-dive-amazon-eks-dashboard-for-visibility-into-multi-cluster-operations-and-governance/ 4) YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1I1H2wA1Sk
This week, Ben Knepler returns to the podcast to explain why he and his co-founder at True Places concluded they had no choice but to suspend production of their portable, outdoor chairs and go into survival mode. Initially, they manufactured the chairs in China, where they've been paying tariffs since the first Trump administration. Last year, at considerable expense, they moved production to Cambodia, which at the time was subject to no tariffs. But since April 2nd, the company has been subjected to a tariff rate that has gyrated from zero to 49 percent to 10 percent to 36 percent to 19 percent as of last week. In our conversation, Ben explains why they stopped production and how they hope to survive.
It can be hard for Alaskans to feel connected to the rest of the country. I recently went on a nearly coast to coast drive with my daughter and her family as they moved from South Carolina to Washington State. As we drove 500-mile days for a week a few connections between places on our drive and my home city of Anchorage emerged. Welcome to the Dashboard Diaries a special four-part mini-series brought to you by the AnchorED City Podcast. During this four-part mini-series we will connect with Anchorage's soul through her history, stories, and people by connecting to four places along the road from our drive across this vast land of ours. On this episode we consider a connection between Twin Falls, ID and Anchorage. #anchoredcity https://anchorageutc.org https://www.facebook.com/AnchorageUTC @AnchorageUTC Theme Music by Tech Oasis from Pixabay Resources Used To Make This Episode: https://www.nps.gov/miin/index.htm https://www.nps.gov/miin/learn/historyculture/pearl-harbor-and-executive-order-9066.htm https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/alien-and-sedition-acts?_ga=2.43008229.154915092.1657544061-849664189.1651781502 https://www.archives.gov/research/aapi/ww2/planning https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/japanese-american-incarceration https://www.alaskahistory.org/anchorage-timeline/ https://www.minidoka.org/history-world-war-two-internment

In this episode, Jason Healey, Andrew Green, and Nicky Paraggio dive deep into the evolving world of in-car infotainment, centered around Apple CarPlay Ultra and the bigger battle over who owns the driver experience. From GM's decision to phase out CarPlay in certain EVs to why Hyundai and Kia are all-in on Apple's full-screen takeover, the crew explores what's at stake for automakers, dealers, and drivers. They discuss how Apple's demand for data may be the real roadblock, why some brands refuse to give up control of the dashboard, and how this shift might impact the future of design, diagnostics, and even dealership service visits. Whether you're a die-hard Apple fan or just want your volume knob back, this conversation breaks it all down in plain English.

This week, Peter Koehler, who helps businesses with their operations, finances, and succession planning, points out that small businesses are not just mini-versions of big businesses. In fact, he says, they're an entirely different species, and he believes the federal tax code should treat them as such. In our conversation, he suggests a few changes -- tiered payroll tax rates, a startup tax credit to cover professional services, an expanded qualified business income deduction -- that he thinks might restrain our slide toward ever greater consolidation.

In a healthcare ecosystem increasingly driven by data, sterile processing departments (SPDs) find themselves at a crossroads—balancing precision and pace, safety and speed. As hospitals look to reduce inefficiencies and protect patient safety, analytics tools are transforming sterile processing from an often overlooked backroom function into a vital, data-enhanced frontline of care. Research shows that missing instruments in surgical trays can cause significant delays and financial losses—costing hospitals hundreds of thousands annually—underscoring the critical role of real-time analytics in preventing these inefficiencies.So, how can frontline healthcare teams merge hard metrics with the soft skill of intuition to streamline operations, improve quality, and ensure safety? What role does data storytelling play in elevating sterile processing strategy?Welcome to ConCensis. In the latest episode, host Daniel Litwin, the Voice of B2B at MarketScale, sits down with Beth Perry, Business Intelligence & Analytics Engineer at Censis Technologies, to explore how blending data and intuition is not only possible but necessary in modern SPD operations. The two discuss Perry's unconventional path from journalism to healthcare analytics, and how narrative instincts can make raw numbers actionable.Key Takeaways from the Episode…Intuition Amplifies Metrics: Data analysis in SPDs mirrors journalism—asking the right questions, following patterns, and translating complexity into action. Beth highlights how technician intuition, like recognizing patterns in tray assembly speed, is vital for interpreting data trends.A Dashboard is Only as Good as Its Story: Beth shares insights on building dashboards that reveal both current performance and actionable paths forward. Clear visualization of productivity, quality, and instrument tracking empowers staff to trust their instincts and take decisive action.Human-Centric Analytics Lead to Real Impact: From reducing incomplete tray rates from 14% to 9% in one month to identifying training slowdowns, Beth emphasizes how visibility and ownership among SPD teams drive real performance gains.Beth Perry is a seasoned business intelligence and analytics professional with over 15 years of experience developing data solutions across healthcare, logistics, and technology sectors. At Censis Technologies, she has held multiple analytics-focused roles, most recently serving as an Engineer in Business Intelligence & Analytics, where she helped innovate the company's AI² platform for sterile processing departments. Known for her strong communication skills and ability to bridge technical insights with business needs, she has become a key driver of data-informed strategy and operational efficiency in healthcare settings.

This week, Sheela Murthy, who founded and built one of the most prominent immigration law firms in the country, talks about the issues business owners may be confronting during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Among the questions Ms. Murthy addresses: What should owners do if they suspect an employee may be undocumented? If the owner decides to keep the employee, what's the worst that can happen? How reliable is E-Verify? If you employ people who you suspect may be undocumented, are you helping them or exploiting them?

Todd Olson joins me to talk about making analytics worth paying for and relevant in the age of AI. The CEO of Pendo, an analytics SAAS company, Todd shares how the company evolved to support a wider audience by simplifying dashboards, removing user roadblocks, and leveraging AI to both generate and explain insights. We also talked about the roles of product management at Pendo. Todd views AI product management as a natural evolution for adaptable teams and explains how he thinks about hiring product roles in 2025. Todd also shares how he thinks about successful user adoption of his product around “time to value” and “stickiness” over vanity metrics like time spent. Highlights/ Skip to: How Todd has addressed analytics apathy over the past decade at Pendo (1:17) Getting back to basics and not barraging people with more data and power (4:02) Pendo's strategy for keeping the product experience simple without abandoning power users (6:44) Whether Todd is considering using an LLM (prompt-based) answer-driven experience with Pendo's UI (8:51) What Pendo looks for when hiring product managers right now, and why (14:58) How Pendo evaluates AI product managers, specifically (19:14) How Todd Olson views AI product management compared to traditional software product management (21:56) Todd's concerns about the probabilistic nature of AI-generated answers in the product UX (27:51) What KPIs Todd uses to know whether Pendo is doing enough to reach its goals (32:49) Why being able to tell what answers are best will become more important as choice increases (40:05) Quotes from Today's Episode “Let's go back to classic Geoffrey Moore Crossing the Chasm, you're selling to early adopters. And what you're doing is you're relying on the early adopters' skill set and figuring out how to take this data and connect it to business problems. So, in the early days, we didn't do anything because the market we were selling to was very, very savvy; they're hungry people, they just like new things. They're getting data, they're feeling really, really smart, everything's working great. As you get bigger and bigger and bigger, you start to try to sell to a bigger TAM, a bigger audience, you start trying to talk to the these early majorities, which are, they're not early adopters, they're more technology laggards in some degree, and they don't understand how to use data to inform their job. They've never used data to inform their job. There, we've had to do a lot more work.” Todd (2:04 - 2:58) “I think AI is amazing, and I don't want to say AI is overhyped because AI in general is—yeah, it's the revolution that we all have to pay attention to. Do I think that the skills necessary to be an AI product manager are so distinct that you need to hire differently? No, I don't. That's not what I'm seeing. If you have a really curious product manager who's going all in, I think you're going to be okay. Some of the most AI-forward work happening at Pendo is not just product management. Our design team is going crazy. And I think one of the things that we're seeing is a blend between design and product, that they're always adjacent and connected; there's more sort of overlappiness now.” Todd (22:41 - 23:28) “I think about things like stickiness, which may not be an aggregate time, but how often are people coming back and checking in? And if you had this companion or this agent that you just could not live without, and it caused you to come into the product almost every day just to check in, but it's a fast check-in, like, a five-minute check-in, a ten-minute check-in, that's pretty darn sticky. That's a good metric. So, I like stickiness as a metric because it's measuring [things like], “Are you thinking about this product a lot?” And if you're thinking about it a lot, and like, you can't kind of live without it, you're going to go to it a lot, even if it's only a few minutes a day. Social media is like that. Thankfully I'm not addicted to TikTok or Instagram or anything like that, but I probably check it nearly every day. That's a pretty good metric. It gets part of my process of any products that you're checking every day is pretty darn good. So yeah, but I think we need to reframe the conversation not just total time.

That's what Gene Marks thinks. In this week's conversation, Gene lists the tax changes in President Trump's big beautiful bill that he's happiest about, while emphasizing that what he's really happiest about is the tax certainty that passage of the bill creates for business owners. Gene also explains why he thinks owners who complain about Trump's tariffs have no one to blame but themselves and why he's not all that concerned about the uncertainty the tariffs are generating, including what will happen this week when Trump's Liberation Day pause expires.

But during uncertain times like these, Tracy says, there are three in particular to keep an eye on: gross profit margin, operating cash flow, and current ratio. In our conversation, she explains how they work, what they mean, and what to do if they're flashing red. She also says you can download a free tool to track your cash flow at 60minutecfo.com.

This week, Gene Marks tells us why he's skeptical of corporate CEOs like Amazon's Andy Jassy who have started telling employees that they are likely to lose their jobs as the company continues to adopt tools that use artificial intelligence. Gene thinks CEOs who blame AI for corporate layoffs are really covering for bad management. In fact, he thinks anyone who is already replacing employees with AI is a fool. On the other hand, Gene tells us he's incorporating AI tools into almost every aspect of his business, and he gives us some examples.
It can be hard for Alaskans to feel connected to the rest of the country. I recently went on a nearly coast to coast drive with my daughter and her family as they moved from South Carolina to Washington State. As we drove 500-mile days for a week a few connections between places on our drive and my home city of Anchorage emerged. Welcome to the Dashboard Diaries a special four-part mini-series brought to you by the AnchorED City Podcast. During this four-part mini-series we will connect with Anchorage's soul through her history, stories, and people by connecting to four places along the road from our drive across this vast land of ours.

This week, Victor Hwang tells us that his organization, Right to Start, has big plans for America's upcoming 250th birthday. Spurred largely by the widespread sense that the American Dream has lost some of its luster, Victor and Right to Start are launching a campaign to turn our semiquincentennial into a celebration of America's entrepreneurial roots and a push to remove the barriers that make it harder than it should be to start and build a business. One key focus: finding ways to make it easier for businesses to raise capital. You can learn more here.
Pennsylvania is making its election data available to the public in new ways, with more updates to come. The Department of State’s new data dashboard makes information about elections easier to access and understand. State Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding was in Perry County this week, as the Shapiro Administration continues to highlight how SNAP funding cuts will affect Pennsylvania farmers and families. Pennsylvania lawmakers are considering a bill meant to streamline the approval process for energy generation projects in the state, but it faces opposition from many sides. A 15-year-old boy faces 20 to 40 years in prison after a jury in York County found him guilty of third-degree murder in the shooting death of his 12-year-old friend. A Lancaster County teen and her mother are charged with concealing the death of a child and other offenses. Susquehanna Regional Police say the teen aborted her fetus last spring by obtaining abortion drugs online and burying the fetus in her backyard. The James Beard Awards - the culinary world’s equivalent of the Oscars - are announcing winners later this month. In Pennsylvania, five Philadelphia chefs and restaurants are being considered.

On the one hand, Gene Marks tells us this week that the GOP tax bill that has passed the House and is being debated in the Senate contains a lot of elements that should cheer business owners. Specifically, the pass-through deduction would get extended and increased, the capital-equipment deduction would go back to being 100-percent deductible in the first year, and the research-and-development deduction would also go back to being fully deductible in the first year. On the other hand, Gene believes the Big Beautiful Bill is going to be a big ugly problem for business owners. But I'll let him explain.

In today's episode of the Your Digital Marketing Coach podcast, I'm diving into something most people take for granted—the social media dashboard. You might still be using a tool built for posting links and photos, but today's platforms demand more, especially with the rise of short-form video. This is a big deal, because the way you manage and share content can make or break your marketing efforts. I'll share my personal journey of finding a better tool, and how switching dashboards helped me save time, create better posts, and get more out of my strategy. If you're serious about growing your brand and reaching people with the right kind of content, this is a must-listen.Some Social Media Dashboards Mentioned in This Podcast (affiliate links)BufferSocialBeeVista SocialOcoyaSendibleLaterSprout SocialSocialPilotLearn More: Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazon Buy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazon Join My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmo Download My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschaffer All My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

This week, Sahra Halpern, who is CEO of the Business Consortium Fund, talks about a type of lender that is not particularly well known or well understood even among business owners. The Business Consortium Fund is a CDFI, or community development financial institution. Traditionally, many CDFIs, including Halpern's, have sought to serve underrepresented business owners who have struggled to get a traditional bank loan. In the current political climate, however, CDFIs are looking to reach a broader audience. In our conversation, Halpern talks about how CDFI lending differs from bank lending and what types of business should consider approaching a CDFI.

While the state eases monetary conditions to prop up a fragile system, ordinary citizens are left scrambling to preserve the value of their savings. Bitcoin/CNY trading volumes jumped over 20% in response, as people sought refuge from a weakening yuan. But while some can quietly escape to harder money, others are trapped in a system that treats access to money as a privilege.
