Mid-major Division I baseball programs don't always have the biggest budgets, flashiest facilities, or national spotlight — but many consistently develop high-level players. In this episode, we break down how great coaching becomes the competitive advantage.We dive into how mid-major D1 staffs focus on individualized player development, teaching fundamentals, and building repeatable routines that translate to game performance. Without relying on star recruits or unlimited resources, these programs emphasize skill growth, baseball IQ, physical development, and mental toughness.The conversation also covers how coaches identify under-recruited players, create clear development plans, and hold athletes accountable in an environment where development isn't optional — it's the priority. From practice structure to feedback systems, we explore what separates programs that consistently improve players from those that don't.Whether you're a player navigating the recruiting process, a parent trying to understand different D1 environments, or a coach looking for development ideas, this episode offers an inside look at why great coaching — not resources — is often the biggest driver of success at the mid-major level.

Ever felt the Sunday scaries so deeply it made you question your job altogether? You’re not alone—and that's exactly where this conversation starts. In this episode, I'm joined by Mary Baird—international workshop facilitator, employee experience strategist, and host of The Simplifiers Podcast. Mary simplifies the chaos of corporate life and brings 18+ years of leadership development experience to the table. We’re unpacking why employee experience isn't just an HR checkbox—it's a leadership credibility strategy. From layoffs to trust gaps to talent wars, today’s leaders need more than perks and pizza parties. They need a clear EX strategy that drives real outcomes and external influence. Mary breaks down her Employee Experience Flywheel, shows how leadership development must be co-created, and shares bold truths about why most corporate cultures are broken—and how to fix them. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why employee experience is the new leadership advantage How to define EX in a way that drives trust and results Why traditional leadership development fails (and what to do instead) How to build a culture that retains talent and grows credibility The direct link between internal culture and external influence Tangible actions execs can take this quarter to improve EX How to make your leadership presence match your external brand Mentioned in this episode: Visit Mary at https://marybaird.co and follow her on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesimplifiers/ The Simplifiers Podcast: https://thesimplifiers.com Your Next Steps: Access the white paper: External Influence: The Currency Every Leader Must Carry. https://externalinfluence.us Follow Shayna on LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/shaynarattler Visit our website: https://executivesignalsgroup.com

In this message from 1 John 4, we look at Christmas through the eyes of the Apostle John near the end of his life. After decades of ministry, suffering, and loss, John doesn't offer advice for fear—he offers good news: God is love. This teaching explores: Why fear doesn't just live in our thoughts, but in our nervous system How God's love takes the initiative long before we do What “perfect love” actually means—and how it casts out fear Why the opposite of love isn't hate, but fear How the incarnation of Jesus is God's answer to human anxiety Rather than calling us to be braver, Christmas invites us to receive love more fully—a love that is sacrificial, unconditional, and strong enough to heal even our deepest fears. If fear has shaped your expectations, habits, or faith, this message is an invitation to step further into the love of God—and to discover the freedom that comes with it. “There is no fear in love. Instead, perfect love drives out fear.” — 1 John 4:18

Few patients take a paper prescription down to the local pharmacy any more. The modern era of prescribing is shockingly complex and getting more so, according to Dr. Colin Banas, Chief Medical Officer, and Drew Hunsinger, Head of Growth, at DrFirst.Banas says that the goal at DrFirst, a 25-year-old company, has always been to provide an end-to-end medication journey: for patients, providers, payers, and pharmacies. Hunsinger points out that the prescribing workflow involves payers, PBMs, and even drug companies.Plus, they share how many of the EHR companies they work with are happy to offload all these medication management complexities to DrFirst so that as EHR product managers, they can focus on other EHR innovations. Not to mention EHR vendors can benefit from the innovations that DrFirst continues to implement since their major focus is medication management.Learn more about DrFirst: https://drfirst.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Kriegel, a culture strategist, speaker, and former Chief Scientist of Workplace Culture at Culture Partners. Jessica has spent years studying what actually drives performance inside organizations, and she brings research backed clarity to a topic most leaders still struggle to operationalize. Together, we break down why culture is not a soft concept, but the single most powerful lever leaders have to drive results, including up to four times revenue growth when purpose, strategy, and culture are fully aligned. Jessica shares a practical framework for turning culture into a business system, not a poster on the wall. We unpack why most culture efforts fail, how beliefs shape behavior more than processes ever will, and what leaders must stop doing if they want real accountability. This conversation is grounded, actionable, and designed for leaders who want measurable outcomes, not motivational fluff. Key takeaways: Culture is how people think and act to get results, not a list of values or perks Companies with full alignment between purpose, strategy, and culture grow four times faster than those without it Clarity beats complexity when defining purpose and direction Beliefs drive behavior more than policies, processes, or procedures True accountability is a personal choice, not a blame mechanism Most organizations spend the majority of their time below the line in blame and excuses Recognition, storytelling, and feedback are the fastest ways to shape beliefs Surrendering control creates stronger commitment and better long term results Leaders cannot force alignment, but they can design experiences that invite it This episode is for CEOs, founders, executives, people leaders, and anyone responsible for driving performance through other people. If you are frustrated that your culture initiatives are not translating into results, or if you feel like you are managing compliance instead of commitment, this conversation will change how you lead. You will walk away with simple language, a clear framework, and specific actions you can apply immediately to build a culture that actually drives growth. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In part four of the Learning Theory series here on the JuvoHub Podcast, host Jonathan Saar explores how self-determination theory helps educators understand what truly motivates adult learners—especially when training feels repetitive, compliance-driven, or routine. By breaking down the core principles of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, this episode shines a light on how learning designers can build training that feels meaningful, personalized, and engaging. This discussion offers insight into designing training programs that motivate beyond completion and encourages educators to reflect on how they create relevance, connection, and confidence in every lesson. TLDR: This episode explains how self-determination theory can help instructors make training more meaningful, even when topics repeat year after year. Key Takeaways 00:00 – Why Motivation Matters 00:40 – When Training Feels Repetitive 01:20 – What Self-Determination Theory Is 02:40 – Autonomy, Competence & Relatedness 03:25 – Seeing Yourself in the Scenario 04:30 – Understanding the Learner's Mindset 05:20 – Making Compliance Meaningful 06:05 – Do Rewards Help or Hurt? 06:55 – Final Takeaways and Resources Why Self-Determination Theory Still Matters for Today's Educators As training needs grow more complex and learners face repeated compliance requirements, understanding what drives motivation becomes essential. Self-determination theory offers a practical lens for creating training that feels relevant, empowering, and connected—whether the audience is new to the topic or revisiting it annually. As you build programs for the year ahead, consider how autonomy, competence, and relatedness can elevate every learning experience and help your learners stay engaged long after completion.

Everyone's Betting on AI...And They Just Might Be Wrong -"Computing Power Drives the Future: AI and the Next Big Thing" by William MeiselComputing power has long grown at an exponential rate. That rapid advance has allowed digital systems to do more each year. Computer power crossed a major threshold when it made "Artificial Intelligence" driven by deep neural networks economically feasible. And huge investments are being made in ever-larger computer centers to support AI. This book challenges the assumptions behind those huge investments and explains why the generative AI that is making all the news is over-rated.Computer power crossing a threshold allowed deep neural nets to be practical, and they have indeed been used effectively for many limited applications. Meisel discusses the "next big thing" that exponential growth in computer processing speed will allow. The book provides a realistic description of what we can expect as computer power grows ever more quickly than most past innovations, with major impacts on society, the economy, and competition between countries.William Meisel, PhD, was an early researcher in AI, with an PhD dissertation on neural networks and an early book on computer pattern recognition, the latter while a professor of EE and CS at USC. He then applied those techniques as the head of the computer science division of a defense company for a decade. He then founded and ran Speech Systems Incorporated, developing speech recognition technology and applications, for a decade. He then published Speech Recognition Update, a monthly paid-subscription, no-ads newsletter on commercial developments in speech recognition and natural language processing for more than twenty years and held conferences on the subject. He was also Executive Director of the non-profit Applied Voice Input Output Society during this period.He is currently an independent consultant and author. His recent books include Computing Power Drives the Future, The Lost History of Talking to Computers and Evolution Continues: A Human-Computer Partnership.AMAZONhttps://williammeisel.com/https://www.kingpagespress.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/121825kpp2.mp3    

In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO and Founder of Cynozure, is joined by Blaire Palmer, author, keynote speaker and expert on leadership and the future of work. This episode is a candid conversation about what organisations must rethink if they want people and performance to thrive in an era shaped by rapid technological change. Drawing on her background as a BBC journalist, one of Europe's first accredited coaches and the author of 'Punks in Suits', Blaire unpacks the long-held assumptions that quietly limit how people show up at work. She and Jason discuss why culture and trust remain the real competitive edge and why short-termism undermines long-term value. Their conversation also explores how leadership must evolve as AI takes on more of the routine and emotionally neutral tasks inside organisations. Together, they make the case that AI shouldn't be treated as an efficiency play, but as a catalyst for unlocking human potential, creativity and contribution. They discuss the organisations already redefining what "good" looks like, from value led decision-making to designing environments where people can genuinely do their best work. An interesting, people-centred conversation about rewriting the rules of work for what comes next. Cynozure is a leading data, analytics and AI company that helps organisations to reach their data potential.

Most businesses get trapped competing on price because they never learn how to create value. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner sits down with Jacob Reese, Vice President of Standard Plumbing Supply, one of the largest family-owned wholesale distributors in the Western United States. Built over three generations. Jeremy and Jacob talk about why communication, not pricing, determines who wins, how contractors get stuck in price-based thinking, and what shifts when you move to results-based selling. They explore how influence applies to sales, leadership, operations, and decision-making, why the best ideas often lose to the best-communicated ones, and how systems like Vendor Managed Inventory help customers buy back time and increase profit. Whether you sell, lead, or run a business, this conversation shows how creating value, not competing harder, is what actually drives growth.   Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (03:03) Why Everyone Needs to Learn Sales and Persuasion (05:45) Stewardship, Legacy, and Long-Term Thinking (08:30) The Customer Is the Boss Philosophy (11:45) Vendor Managed Inventory and Buying Back Time (17:10) Creation vs Competition in Business (22:15) Price vs Results Based Thinking (29:05) Communication, Influence, and Objection Prevention   Connect with Jacob Instagram:⁠https://www.instagram.com/jacobnreese ⁠ Website:⁠https://www.standardplumbing.com⁠   Got a question about sales, persuasion, or objection handling?

Dementia is becoming one of healthcare's most difficult problems to ignore. As the population ages, more families are finding themselves responsible for loved ones who can no longer manage their own care, communicate symptoms clearly, or navigate the healthcare system. Research shows that people living with dementia are hospitalized far more often than those without it—even when age and other medical conditions are taken into account—fueling a cycle of stress, confusion, and hospital visits that are often avoidable with the right support in place.That raises a simple but uncomfortable question: if people living with dementia can't meaningfully engage with the healthcare system on their own, why do we keep designing care models that expect them to?That question sits at the heart of this episode of Highway to Health, hosted by David Kemp, featuring Dirk Soenksen, CEO of Ceresti Health. Together, they explore why family caregivers—not patients—are the most important and overlooked participants in dementia care. The conversation looks at what actually happens inside the home, how caregivers make daily decisions that affect outcomes, and why supporting them can improve quality of life while reducing strain on the healthcare system.Top insights from the talk…Why traditional patient engagement doesn't work for dementia: Cognitive impairment makes it unrealistic to rely on patients to self-report symptoms or manage care, often leaving them disconnected from timely medical support.How caregivers become the real care coordinators: When caregivers are educated and supported, they're better equipped to recognize changes, respond early, and work effectively with primary care physicians.What a caregiver-first model changes for the system: Ceresti Health's approach has shown meaningful reductions in avoidable hospitalizations, saving roughly $6,000 per patient per year while helping people remain at home longer.Dirk Soenksen is a healthcare executive and entrepreneur with a long track record of founding, scaling, and commercializing technology-enabled care and diagnostics companies. He is the co-founder and CEO of Ceresti Health, where he leads a caregiver-enabled dementia care model that delivers proven cost savings for Medicare Advantage plans, ACOs, and PACE programs, and participates in CMS's GUIDE model. Previously, he founded and scaled Aperio into a global leader in digital pathology—raising over $50M and leading the company through FDA clearances and a successful acquisition by Danaher—after earlier leadership roles in digital health, medical technology, and engineering.

One thread, often barely acknowledged, always present in violent extremist attacks: misogyny. Cynthia Miller-Idriss is a sociologist and professor in the School of Public Affairs and the School of Education at American University, where she is the founding director of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL). She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why we need to confront misogyny head on to prevent future acts of violence, and why attackers so often blame women for their hateful beliefs.

The desert doesn't whisper here—it sings off canyon walls. We headed to Big Bend to chase that sound and came back with a pocket full of must-do hikes, a few hard-won driving tips, and a fresh respect for how wild West Texas still is. From the instant payoff of Santa Elena Canyon to the echoing turns of Boquillas, we show you how to thread quick stops with immersive moments so you actually feel the place, not just check it off.We start along the Rio Grande, where pale desert frames a sudden surge of green. The Rio Grande Village Nature Trail surprised us with boardwalks and birdsong that felt more Louisiana than Chihuahuan Desert. A flood-damaged road kept us from the Hot Springs Historic Trail, so we traded soaking for summits and took local advice to tackle Lost Mine. With a knowledgeable guide from Big Bend Boating and Hiking, the Chisos Basin unfolded in layers—geology, plants, and long views that shift every step. If you've only got one big hike in you, make it this one.Then we swapped boots for a Jeep and rolled out with Far Flung. Abandoned mercury mines, Terlingua ghost-town lore, and the red-tinged bones of the desert gave the landscape a different edge. Our guide balanced history and wonder, a combo that matters in a park where beauty and risk run side by side. We also mapped the drives that tie it all together: Barton Warnock's museum-like visitor center, the overlook to Closed Canyon, and a free dark sky star party where the Milky Way looked close enough to touch. Finish with a golden-hour ascent to the Chisos Basin Lodge road—less for the lodge itself and more for the light that sets the ridges on fire.If you're planning Big Bend, this guide packs quick wins, deeper routes, safety smarts, and the best ways to see more with less stress.

Episode 123: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Tim Thomas, Chief Investment Officer and Wealth Manager at Badgley Phelps Wealth Managers. Tim joined Badgley Phelps in 2008 and brings more than two decades of experience in financial planning and portfolio management. He specialized in security analysis and selection, portfolio construction, asset allocation, and alternative investments. Tim shares with Kyle about the mechanics of modern portfolio construction. He discusses why the financial plan must be the north star for investment strategy, how to navigate the noisy and rapidly democratizing world of alternative investments, and how AI is changing the backend of advisory work without replacing the human connection. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:33) - Tim's money moment (02:57) - Marrying financial planning with investment strategy (03:56) - How investing has changed over time (06:18) - The rise in alternative investments (09:55) - Understanding alts as more than one asset class (16:24) - How Badgley Phelps helps clients navigate the nuances of alts (18:27) - Managing M&A and the acquisition of Marshall & Sullivan (21:45) - How Badgley Phelps approaches holistic planning (23:40) - Tim's thoughts about the future of the industry (27:25) - Tim's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Planning is a strategy. Investments are implementation.  The most effective portfolios are built after the cash flow model is complete.  By understanding the client's lifestyle needs and success rates first, you can determine the specific hurdle rate required to achieve their goals.  Democratization of alts is exciting, but operational risk is real. Alternative investments are booming, but they shouldn't be added to a portfolio just because they are trendy or accessible. Customization beats cookie-cutter strategies. Whether it's equities, fixed income, or alts, thoughtful leaders build client portfolios around client-specific needs — income, growth, risk tolerance, or liquidity — instead of defaulting to one-size-fits-all recommendations. The quarterback model vs. the generalist. There is a massive industry push to bring tax, legal, and estate planning in-house. Sometimes, building a bespoke team of external experts serves the client better than a one-size-fits-all internal department. Quotes "Planning has really come to the forefront, and the investments are critically important because that is the implementation of the plan. But the planning has definitely risen in prominence, and it has a much bigger role than it used to." ~ Tim Thomas "It's just incredible to see how fast alts have grown in prominence and how big an allocation they're getting in portfolios these days. We're missing out on some opportunities by not having them." ~ Tim Thomas "When you think about technology, computers are really good at crunching a lot of data, sorting, and solving a lot of different things at the same time. What they can't replace is that conversation with a client." ~ Tim Thomas Links  Tim Thomas on LinkedIn Badgley Phelps Wealth Managers Vanguard iCapital CAIS Focus Financial Partners Marshall & Sullivan, Inc.

Peers and Innovation – Peernovation This week on A New Direction with Coach Jay, we're diving back into a powerful idea that has only grown more relevant: Peernovation. Leo Bottary returns with the newly revised 2nd Edition of Peernovation: Leverage Peer Wisdom to Create Team Excellence and trust me… this update is not just a cosmetic refresh. It is a transformational rethinking of how people, teams, and leaders rise together. In a world where complexity increases and isolation becomes easier; Leo makes a bold case: the future belongs to the teams who intentionally harness the wisdom of their peers. This is not “team building”—this is unlocking human potential through connection. We'll explore why the most successful groups don't happen by accident—they happen by design. Peernovation challenges leaders to rethink the way they select, develop, and inspire teams. It shows why the who always comes before the what, and why the right peers can elevate performance faster than any strategy, incentive program, or motivational campaign. Leo breaks down the research behind high-performing groups and reveals the hidden habits that allow teams to become more innovative, more accountable, and more resilient. If you've ever wondered why some teams consistently outperform—even when they shouldn't—this episode will give you the blueprint. We're also going to dig into the shift from individual excellence to collective greatness—something many leaders say they want but rarely know how to cultivate. Peernovation demonstrates that peer influence is the most powerful driver of behavior and performance inside any group. When you understand how peer dynamics shape standards, culture, and outcomes, you stop “managing people” and start unleashing them. This is where the magic happens. This is where belonging fuels bravery, and where teams start to multiply their potential instead of adding to it. Join us to discover how peer-powered teams are built, how they sustain excellence, and how you can create them in your organization, your business, or your life. Whether you’re a business owner, a leader under pressure, or someone who wants to elevate the people around you, this conversation with Leo Bottary will challenge you, inspire you, and give you tools you can use immediately. Peernovation isn't just a concept… it's a movement. And tomorrow, we're going to show you how to become part of it. Leo Bottary‘s book, “Peernovation: Leverage Peer Wisdom to Create Team Excellence (2nd Edition) is insightful and gives the most fundamental and necessary components to building organizational and business groups and teams that are not only effective but will lead your business to greater growth and profitability. We all know it’s true, we can be far more creative in a group that we can be on our own.  We know that we make better decisions in groups then we can on our own. We also know that growth doesn’t happen in a silo it happens in groups and teams.  So how do we build these groups and teams so that we can be as successful as possible.  This is where “Peernovation” comes to the rescue. Peernovation is the combination of two words.  Peers, such as your colleagues and people like you, and Innovation, the creative process that helps us grow and achieve more.  We put them together to create Peernovation.  But it is not for the faint of heart.  To have successful peernovation there are some hard choices we have to make.  Such as insuring that there is absolute psychological safety, that there are value and behavior alignment, etc. The 2nd edition is a great read.  It flows well.  The new ideas added to the book are fantastic and insightful.  After reading it I also found myself trying to figure how I take my own existing teams and reestablish ground rules and better communication so that I have better Peernovation.

There are No Business Problems… Only Personal Problems that Infect Your Business Most Consultants Fix the Spreadsheet. I Fix the Human Who Broke It. If you are running a company of $10M+, you don't need more strategy. You have plenty of strategy. You don't need more “motivation.” You have plenty of drive. So why are you stuck? Why is the profit margin slipping? Why does everything feel like it relies on you? Here is the uncomfortable truth: The bottleneck isn’t the market. It isn’t the product. It's the psychology. And that is exactly why you hire me. 1. I Go Where Others Won't Most business coaches will look at your P&L and tell you to cut costs. I look at your leadership team and tell you to cut the behavior. Whether you are navigating a high-conflict divorce, suffering from “Founder's Ego,” or paralyzed by indecision—I don’t shy away from the personal chaos. I build a blast shield around your business so the personal storm doesn’t sink the ship. 2. I Don't “Guess”—I “Profile” I am a Behavioral Strategist. I don’t operate on gut feeling. I use deep behavioral diagnostics to see exactly why your team is failing. Example: I recently found a “COO” hiding inside a client’s Marketing Department. We didn’t hire an expensive executive; we just realigned an existing employee based on her psychological profile. Result: 100% execution rate. 3. I Turn “Mindset” into “Millions” “Psychology” sounds soft until you see the math. I recently worked with a Founder who was psychologically attached to a “global footprint”—expensive offices and servers he didn’t need. The “business” advice was ignored. It took a Behavioral Intervention to break that attachment. The result? We saved $3 Million annually and brought investors back to the table. The Bottom Line: There are no business problems. There are only personal problems that infect your business. If you want a cheerleader, hire a coach. If you want to unlock the millions trapped behind human friction, hire a Strategist.

This idea was central to my conversation with Justin Starbird, CEO of The Aebli Group, in today's episode. Justin highlighted that the real “silver bullet” for a successful crowdfunding campaign is the strength of an engaged community.“From our experience, a lot of times that secret weapon…is the community that they have amassed around their mission,” Justin explained. He emphasized that mission-driven companies often have an edge because their stories resonate deeply with their supporters, creating a foundation for passionate engagement.Justin shared how his team works with companies to authentically communicate their vision and values in ways that connect with people. “It's really important to be able to tell a story that's compelling, that's authentic, that's true to who they are,” he said.Justin and his team recently worked with Organic Transit, a company bringing back its innovative solar-electric bicycle, the ELF. The company's founder, Rob Cotter, turned to crowdfunding after a challenging bankruptcy. With The Aebli Group's help, Organic Transit is now raising funds on Wefunder to scale its ELF 3.0—a modernized, Eco-friendly version of its original product. Justin noted that the campaign's success is rooted in the loyal community Organic Transit had already built, which helped them pre-sell over 800 vehicles and log 10 million miles.Through storytelling, community engagement, and a focus on authenticity, Justin and his team enable mission-driven companies to thrive. “At the end of the day, it's still the mission, the vision, the goal of the company, and their authenticity,” he said.By building campaigns that connect with communities, Justin and The Aebli Group are transforming crowdfunding into a powerful tool for both raising capital and creating meaningful change.tl;dr:Today's episode explores how mission-driven storytelling creates community engagement for crowdfunding success.Guest Justin Starbird shares insights on building authentic marketing campaigns that resonate with investors.Justin describes working with Organic Transit to revive its solar-electric bicycle, the ELF 3.0.The Aebli Group uses authenticity to help startups foster trust and build meaningful connections.Justin's superpower, authenticity, is key to creating campaigns that leave lasting impacts.How to Develop Authenticity As a SuperpowerJustin's superpower is authenticity. He described it as being unafraid to share hard truths with clients and always striving to leave things better than he found them. “What I try to do is…bring that authenticity to our clients in everything that we do,” he explained. Justin emphasized that authenticity fosters trust, builds communities, and ensures long-term success for businesses.Justin shared a personal analogy to explain his approach to authenticity. He recalled hiring a yard-cleaning service and finding a Coke can left in the brush after they finished. Though small, the oversight eroded his confidence in the team's attention to detail. That lesson shaped Justin's ethos at The Aebli Group: always go the extra mile. By doing the “small things” right, like addressing potential blind spots, his team ensures their campaigns resonate with clients and communities.Tips for Developing Authenticity as a Strength:Be Vulnerable: Acknowledge weaknesses and lean into them to foster genuine connections.Address Blind Spots: Identify potential risks or challenges and confront them openly.Focus on Community: Build trust by staying true to your values and mission.Always Go the Extra Mile: Pay attention to small details that demonstrate care and commitment.By following Justin's example and advice, you can make authenticity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In this episode, I dive into Zootopia 2 and the absolutely unhinged fact that the entire plot revolves around a forged patent. Yes, a Disney movie about talking animals turns into a full-blown IP scandal involving a snake inventor, a corrupt businessman who steals her journal, rips out her real patent, forges his own, murders the witness (in a children's film!), frames the inventor, and builds a dynasty on the world's least plausible legal cover-up. I breaks down what the movie hilariously misunderstands about patents, why none of this could ever happen with a real patent, and why it still makes for the greatest animated patent thriller ever made!

What truly drives enterprise value - and what quietly destroys it? In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, Dave speaks with Anthony Franco, managing partner at First Strategy, serial entrepreneur, AI strategist, and co-author of AI First Principles and the WISER Method. Anthony breaks down the core factors that influence valuation long before an owner thinks about selling. They discuss the impact of profitable revenue, clean financials, customer concentration, operational discipline, and how reducing reliance on the founder increases both value and buyer confidence. Anthony also explains why toxic employees, the “genius jackass,” and organizational apathy can erode enterprise value in ways owners often overlook. The conversation moves into practical AI adoption for mid-market companies. Anthony outlines the AI First Principles framework and the WISER Method, including specific tools and realistic first steps leaders can take to improve productivity, decision-making, and operational speed without overwhelming their teams. His guidance is grounded: AI is a force multiplier, not a job killer. They wrap with insights from Anthony's Shark Tank experience, his How To Founder podcast, and the steps every business owner can take now to protect, strengthen, and increase enterprise value.

How do you design compensation that truly motivates and retains top talent?

In today's episode, I break down how shifting from selling to serving transforms trust, connection, and long-term growth. I walk through the energy behind our words, why pressure creates resistance, and how curiosity, empathy, and reflective listening open the door to real partnership. I explain how time, emotion, and value constantly change and why adjusting to those changes keeps relationships aligned. I also share how intention shapes every outcome, how a go no-go plan removes friction, and why easing off urgency strengthens influence. This is a practical look at turning conversations into collaboration and building a foundation where clients buy with confidence and stay for connection.
