#176 Podcast SummaryIn this conversation, Bart Berkey interviews Joe Hummel, CEO of Twin Peaks Restaurants, discussing leadership, business growth, company culture, and the evolution of the restaurant industry. Recorded live from the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas.Joe shares his journey from working in distribution to becoming an operator and later a franchisor. He highlights how he and his partners saw an opportunity in Twin Peaks, a brand with only 14 locations at the time, and transformed it into a rapidly expanding, publicly traded company.They explore the DNA of Twin Peaks, which emphasizes a narrow and deep focus—meaning they stay true to a core identity rather than trying to appeal to everyone. The discussion also touches on:Twin Peaks' guest experience—offering craveable, bold food and drinks in an immersive lodge setting.The importance of culture and empowerment—how listening to employees, particularly Twin Peaks Girls (TPGs), and franchisees drives innovation and retention.The evolution of the brand—why constant innovation and adapting to a new generation of customers are crucial to sustaining long-term success.Success comes from understanding the operations—whether it's running a distribution network, a restaurant, or an office.If leaders aren't close to their business, they lose touch with what makes it work.If leadership stops being the customer, the brand will fail.Every decision—from menu innovation to service standards—should be based on what a customer wants and expects.Twin Peaks evolved by maintaining core brand elements while innovating on experience (e.g., adding patios, larger bars, better TVs).Franchisees were given the freedom to test new ideas as long as they fit within the brand's identity.Employees need ownership, accountability, and opportunities to grow.At Twin Peaks, team members start in entry-level roles and grow into leadership positions because of a culture that fosters development.Small details create exceptional customer experiences—from a perfectly timed drink order to the right TV station being on.Leaders at Twin Peaks notice everything—if a TV isn't on, if a drink isn't served right, or if the atmosphere isn't perfect.Most businesses fail because they stop paying attention to the details and assume customers won't notice.Twin Peaks thrives because they care—about details, customers, employees, and evolution.Twin Peaks constantly asks, what's the next big thing?—from cocktail trends to guest experience.Twin Peaks' success isn't accidental—it's the result of strong leadership, attention to detail, innovation within brand values, and a relentless focus on customer experience. Joe Hummel's leadership style of operating from the ground up, empowering his team, and always evolving is a model that any leader can apply to build a lasting, successful business.Key Actionable Learnings1.

Imagine a workplace where every team member is not just doing their job but is passionately engaged and thriving. Seems like a dream, right? But it doesn't have to be. With the right strategies and mindset, you can make this a reality! I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Shivani Gupta an award-winning entrepreneur, coach, and author who has transformed not just her own life but also the businesses of many leaders globally. In our conversation, she shares some of the strategies from her latest book “Getting Your People to Step Up,” on how leaders can more effectively motivate their teams. One of my favourite parts of Shivani's book is the “Passion Model.” Instead of assuming work needs to be their top priority, Shivani encourages leaders to understand what truly motivates their employees. This means you can tailor roles and incentives to align with what truly drives their team members. For example, if an employee's number one passion is health and fitness, providing a gym membership as part of their package can be a huge motivator. By tapping into what your employees care about most, you can foster a more engaged and productive workforce. Another chapter we dive into is around the importance of creating inclusive and diverse workplaces. As an immigrant and a woman of colour working in male-dominated industries, Shivani is passionate about fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated. Whether it's gender, ethnicity, or cultural background, diverse teams can offer unique perspectives and innovative solutions. Shivani encourages leaders to be proactive in hiring individuals from various backgrounds and creating an environment where everyone feels valued and included. By doing so, businesses can cultivate a richer, more dynamic workforce. Finally, we discuss a challenge that many leaders face today, how to motivate younger workers, who have different values and expectations than previous generations. Today's employees seek flexibility, quicker advancement, and a work-life balance that previous generations only dreamed of. Shivani advises leaders to be open-minded and flexible in their management styles. For example, allowing part-time work for roles traditionally seen as full-time can attract high-quality candidates who value their work-life balance. By setting clear KPIs and being outcome-focused, leaders can ensure productivity while catering to the different needs of their team members. With Shivani's wisdom, you can turn your workplace into a powerhouse of talent and productivity. Ready to see what your team can achieve?

In this episode, Jason and Jordan further explore the concept of wellbeing in the workplace and how it is a collaborative effort between employers and employees. They discuss the importance of establishing boundaries and responsibilities for employees to experience wellbeing. Furthermore, they delve into the influence of our childhood experiences on our relationships with responsibility in the workplace and share personal stories from their childhood. Creating an environment where individuals can thrive is crucial, as it allows employees to bring their authentic selves to work. As companies grow, we discuss strategies for scaling wellbeing initiatives to ensure continued success. We also emphasize the connection between a sense of acceptance and having responsibilities within the organization. A company's ideals for its employees should be rooted in its core values, aligning the organization's mission with the individual's sense of purpose. Lastly, we emphasize that when choosing a company to work for, factors such as salary and benefits should not be the sole determining factors. Instead, it is essential to consider the overall culture, values, and support for employee wellbeing. Key ideas and highlights: There is so much more to work than a transaction. Wellbeing is the responsibility of both the employee and employer. We are messy, complicated, flawed individuals. Employers must allow employees to bring their full selves to work. A company's expectations for their employees should stem from their values. Word of the day: Carouse Timestamps: (0:00) Intro (2:35) Wellbeing is a coordinated effort between employer and employee (6:53) Employees need two things to experience wellbeing: boundaries and responsibilities (9:11) How our childhood affects our responsibility relationships in the workplace (15:33) An environment where people can thrive allows them to bring their whole selves to work (17:33) How companies can scale wellbeing as their teams grow (19:26) A feeling of acceptance comes with responsibility (21:20) A company's ideals for their employees should stem from their values (23:10) The difference between humility and arrogance (25:56) Choose companies based off values not salaries (26:35) Work is more than transactional Connect: Are you an HR/People Leader wanting to learn more? https://www.fringe.us/talk-to-our-team People Data & Insights Report: https://fringe.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#1U000000tSl7/a/4X000000ouMw/9lixakNDHeXoFyinZ5hmod6GeWRUmxBtAhVd3oCgDmg Jason's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonatfringe/ Jordan's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-peace-fringe/ How Fringe works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NiAGyFut6E&t=2s

In this episode of the Jake Dunlap Show, we are joined by Patrick Danial, a global enterprise guru, co-founder, and Chief Technology Officer of Terakeet, a company that unsurprisingly has been named in the top 5 of the 2020 Best Workplaces in New York by GPTW_US and FortuneMagazine.For the past 25 years, Terakeet has been on an ascending path, from startup to global marketing partner for global brands seeking online business growth through direct audience engagement.When Patrick and his team decided it was time to take their business to a new level, they had to rethink their leadership strategies. In order to grow their company, they had to learn to trust and empower their people in decision-making and help them develop the right type of risk mindset.Listen and find out what are the pain points when going through this leadership transitioning process and what you need to do in order to create an environment where people feel involved and motivated to push forward. Time stamps: (00:43) Our guest, Patrick Danial, Co-founder and CTO of Terakeet;(01:28) Empowering decision-making employees;(07:41) Navigating through this type of leadership transition process;(13:45) When to take risks and the right type of risk mindset you want your people to develop;(18:44) How do you stay focused and keep your people involved and dedicated to this type of change;(21:27) The one thing you wish someone would have told you if you were a new leader, starting out today. Quotes: “We attempt to always grab the wheel and fix a situation ourselves, (...) but that quickly changes if you're looking to move beyond the lifestyle business and not be held captive to every single facet of the business, every customer and every employee need.” “We continued to grow but we were still very much a founder-led company, up until five years ago when we learned about the power of numbers and allowing people to contribute ideas and vote on ideas in a safe space.” “You can't extend autonomy to someone until you make them feel that we're all moving in the same direction, and then you can step back and give them the motivation to push forward and take their own risks.” “People know what's going on. People can see the business, they see what's broken even if it's not in their own department.” “By having the team be a part of the process it can make the lows a little bit higher because they feel like they're a part of it. (...) We're in this together.”____________________________ Mentions:Rapid Development Strategy (RED)Website | Linkedin ____________________________ Get in contact with Patrick:Linkedin-https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickdanial/Twitter- https://twitter.com/pdanial?lang=en Patrick's company, Terakeet:Website- http://terakeet.com/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/TerakeetTwitter- https://twitter.com/terakeetInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/terakeet/Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/company/terakeet ____________________________ Follow Jake: Website- https://www.jakedunlap.com/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/jake_dunlap_/Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakedunlapTwitter- https://twitter.com/jaketdunlap
https://youtu.be/zx50Oqdk1Ek Dennis van der Heijden is the Founder, CEO, and Head of Global Happiness at Convert.com, where they make e-commerce A/B and multivariate testing easy for agencies and experts. We talk about the Holacracy management system, why your website needs frequent testing and monitoring, and how to analyze the traffic coming to your website. --- Create a Holacracy to Empower Your People with Dennis Van Der Heijden Our guest is Dennis Van Der Heijden, the founder and CEO and head of global happiness at Convert.com. Convert helps you test all your ideas, whether you're a marketer looking for advanced targeting and rich reports or a conversion rate optimization CRO expert looking for a robust platform. Welcome to the show, Dennis. Thank you, Steve. Happy to be here. Happy New Year. Well, we are well into the new year. I'm not happy to be here, I'm sorry. All right. I think the only reason I heard it this way because I had a friend when I was a child and he kept wishing Happy New Year in August whenever we met. It was his birthday. And I thought, well, maybe he's not alone, but he is. He's really the only one. All right. Well, glad to have you here. And I'm very curious about your story. How did you start Convert? How does one launch a software company? How does that even work? I think the best launches, I think, are similar to how I started, frustration and urgent need. So I was running a software business, generating software leads for software companies, had a lead generation site, and then there was a small crisis in 2008, people might remember vividly, and that kind of dried up all my leads at that time. Investments were pretty much on hold for most people for the first six months of that, or the last six months of that year. I just moved to Mexico with my little baby and the site couldn't fail, it was my only income, and I didn't look forward to picking up Spanish as fast as that and work for somebody else. So the only thing I could imagine is like, well, if I have half the traffic, I need double the lead. So I don't know how that's called, but I just need to do a better job with what I have. And we build a plugin for WordPress and that worked. We've really personalized every page on the site depending on the keywords that people use at that time. Now it's called personalization. That was 12 years ago. And the person that built that plugin for $50 eventually became nearly a 50% shareholder of my company, a CTO. So if I have a website and it starts converting, then I just download your software and it starts converting? How does that? Software doesn't really do anything. So garbage in, garbage out in that sense. What it does is just to give a very simple idea of what people use it for. If you're a DHL and you're curious if that man on your homepage should be a woman, fitting the culture where you're now launching, you might want to change that and see if that's true for that particular country. And so, you use our software or something similar, you change that image inside our tool which launches on top of your site without people knowing, and then you measure both images at the same time and we'll tell you which one is the better one to pick. So, that's the idea comes from the customer and the tool does it, the math to do the statistics, and then the results. And you can take that learning to the next question that you have in your business. So, it's basically, that's what you call A-B testing. You have two options and whichever works best, you keep that and then you look for another test and you keep testing. So, a typical site owner, how many A/B tests do they have to run to get an efficient site? I know that's a very general question, but magnitude-wise, is it like 20 tests, is it2,000 tests? What is it? Just to have an idea, at this moment today, when you're listening to this, Amazon is running 1,000 tests that day. Just to get an idea of the scale. Booking.com, similar. Etsy, similar.

Once this has been done three or four times this is where the lack system of feedback goes to work and here is how that can be facilitated: Once the feedback has been attained ask the following questions: b. Learn: what did you learn? c. Actions: What action will you take based on what you learned? d. Career: How will the learning and actions help you with your current and potential future career? e.

When they launched a Sonoma wine business in their laundry room in 1986, Bonnie Harvey and Michael Houlihan were business consultants with no industry knowledge and no money, just $300,000 worth of bulk wine. Today, the Barefoot Wines label they started is a top international brand. They've written thousands of articles and two best-selling books—The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle and Heart Built America's Number One Wine Brand and The Entrepreneurial Culture: 23 Ways to Engage and Empower your People. Now they're helping other entrepreneurs tell their stories in imaginative audio books. The common theme running through all these successful endeavors is being outsiders, continually forced to come up with novel solutions. “We'd never written a book before. We'd never done an audio book before. We'd never done a wine business before,” Michael tells Published Author Podcast host Josh Steimle. “We weren't wine people. We were entrepreneurs.” TOP TAKEAWAY: YOU CAN DO IT! That's the message Bonnie and Michael want to pass on to entrepreneurial consumers of their print and audio books. “The Barefoot Spirit is a you-can-do-it story, says Michael. “No, it's not what you expect. It's more work and different work than you thought, but this is doable. That's the message, an encouraging message for entrepreneurs.” After 19 years of a “get-rich slow scheme,” Bonnie and Michael sold Barefoot Wines and wrote a book, at their staff's insistence. “Once we sold our company, our staff came around and said working for us was the most unique, wonderful experience they'd ever had. And that we'd have to write a book about the company culture, which is why they'd all stayed with us.” says Bonnie. “Because our approach was so unique, we wanted to share it with other people, and the only way to do that was in a book.” But they didn't want the Barefoot Spirit to be a typical, top-down business book. “So we thought why don't we just give them a story and let them draw their own conclusions, because they'll see the action and outcomes and learn the lessons even better than in a prescriptive text,” says Michael. Make sure you're ghostwriter understands the principles you're communicating After a disastrous first attempt at hiring a writer for their book, Michael and Bonnie found Rick Cushman, a longtime food-and-wine columnist for the Sacramento Bee, who impressed them with his humor, style and ability to tell stories. “He talks to the average person, which was our end user in the wine industry,” says Bonnie. “So we'd tell him stories, and he'd take notes.” “I would recommend to your listeners if you're going to get a ghostwriter, make sure they understand the principles you're trying to get across,” adds Michael. “What is the basic message here? Is it a message of tenacity, of innovation, of humanity?” TURNING BUSINESS BOOKS INTO AUDIO PLAYS The couple's latest book, The Entrepreneurial Culture: 23 Ways to Engage and Empower Your People, is an audio book, intended to reach a wider, younger audience. But it has a twist. “We bought the top 10 audiobooks on Audible, and every one was great. But they were all read to you. They were all narrated,” says Michael. Driving across the Nevada Desert one day, they heard a PBS radio play complete with actors, sound effects and music. “We thought this is a fantastic way to communicate, through an audio play, like we had in the 1940s, before television.” “Audio is entirely mobile, and you're not tethered to a screen or a page—you're jogging, driving, cooking pasta, vacuuming the floor—and you're listening to a story and you're learning from it. And you can put it down or pick it up anytime you like.” The Entrepreneurial Culture was named a top-five audio book of 2020 by the Audiobook Producers Association. The award's judges said they'd never heard a nonfiction audiobook like it, let alone one that was self published. Bonnie and Michael are now offering their audio theatre services to other entrepreneurs so these companies can preserve, in story form, their legacy, successes and knowledge. “We're motivated to help others and educate ourselves, to stay on top of the entrepreneurial education industry.” LINKS LinkedIn - Michael Houlihan Linkedin - Bonnie Harvey Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube TheBareFootSpirit.com Subscribe To The Published Author Podcast If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Much of the success can be attributed to their passionate CEO who is driven to help others.Laurie Sallarulo is not one for excuses. She likes to get things done and is not about making excuses. After a few months of mediocre results in her venture into the nonprofit world, she knew she had to make some changes to make things happen. And she did! She learned much from her parents, her Dad, who was an avid baseball player and coach, after he was hired to be a baseball coach for a school, torched a field of brush to help create a baseball field after he was told there was no room in the budget to create one. That is "getting it done" ladies and gentlemen!Her mom, started out as a substitute teacher to work her way up the chain to becoming a leading Administrator of the school department.This helped shape Laurie as she began her career in the nonprofit sector. Expecting people that lead their department to be CEOs of that department, has helped dramatically in getting results. Laurie leads the fundraising charge. Some say she is relentless. That's a good thing in the role that she's in. She knows that she is in the world of Sales and she will not stop in her pursuit. Just because one says No, doesn't mean she won't ask again. Whether that be for money, mentoring, sharing time or whatever else to help the journey.

Part 2 is here! Listen to the second half of the conversation around "Winning with Data: Transform Your Culture, Empower Your People, and Shape the Future" by Tomasz Tunguz and Frank Bien. In Part 1 you heard our perspectives on how to run A/B tests, how this differs from a large org to a small one, what data to focus on when you're starting out, and much more. Now in Part 2 we talk about how to use data proactively, what to do if you don't have data to work with, how data can hurt you as much as it can help, how to set your org up for success with data and so much more.
The Twenty Minute VC: Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
Tom Tunguz is a Partner @ Redpoint Ventures, where he has invested in the likes of Axial, Dremio, Expensify, Electric Imp, Looker, and ThredUP.

Before joining Redpoint, Tomasz was the product manager for Google’s AdSense social-media products and AdSense internationalization. In Today’s Episode You Will Learn: 1.) When did Tom perceive the true power of data for the first time? 2.) What is the biggest difference between a company that is data driven and one that is not? What are the inherent benefits and how can non data driven businesses become data driven? 3.) What are the best data driven teams doing to operationalise their data today? 4.) Adam Grant: 8% of job interviews are productive. So what structure can management use to ensure higher efficiency in the hiring process? 5.) What are the complexities and skills required for strong data analysis in today's environment? 6.) Data often leads to over confidence in decision making, how do you prevent illusion bias once data has been obtained?
