Founder of Oaktree Solutions, navigating law, regulation, and politics for businesses and nonprofits 31 years as a lawyer and litigator, plus decades in politics and government Served as Chief of Staff to NYC Mayor Eric Adams Co-authored Everyone Wins! with Russ Prince to make relationship-building learnable [00:05:20] Oaktree Solutions: Navigating Legal, Regulatory, and Political Complexity After 31 years as a lawyer and litigator, Frank found his greatest value at the intersection of law, regulation, and politics Most industries are highly regulated; clients need someone who can interpret, navigate, and advocate across all three environments Oaktree Solutions workshops problems and creates value for both paying clients and the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors Frank's approach: don't limit access to those who can afford it; some of the most important relationship seeds are planted pro bono [00:08:00] Deep Listening as a Business Strategy Frank makes it a habit to understand clients' business objectives, fears, obstacles, and past experiences, not just their goals Listening takes patience and requires setting aside ego; the point is to extract information that leads to the best service When clients feel genuinely heard, they return on a routine basis and refer others without prompting Giving people the gift of feeling seen, heard, and understood is one of the most powerful things a relationship-builder can do [00:12:00] Growing Up in Brooklyn: The Roots of Grit and Credibility Grew up in Canarsie, Brooklyn, where grit and credibility were non-negotiable Sold newspapers, flowers, and candy on the el train as a boy; later sold his comic book collection to help fund law school His father taught him to learn from both successes and failures Coach Bobby Napo challenged him to aim higher than a civil service job [00:15:40] The Marine Corps and the Art of Perseverance Received a Marine Corps recruiter's call meant for his younger brother and ended up applying himself Was disqualified due to childhood asthma; Captain Samuels fought the appeal alongside him and won Graduated from Officer Candidate School as a second lieutenant Marine training reframed his standards: bar exam prep in a library felt easy by comparison [00:17:40] Frank Seto and the Decision That Changed Everything Frank Seto was a family friend and future assemblyman who let a young Frank sell Christmas trees outside his home Frank turned to him when choosing between an honorable discharge and a law firm partnership offer Seto's advice: whatever decision you make will be the right one That single sentence removed regret from Frank's decision-making permanently; he has never looked back since [00:20:40] The Relationship That Moved a City: Mayor Eric Adams Eric Adams came to Frank's office as Brooklyn Borough President asking for his support in a mayoral run Frank activated political, labor, and business relationships to build the campaign coalition Adams was far behind in the polls; the campaign turned it around through relationship capital None of it would have been possible without decades of trust built in advance [00:24:20] Brother Anthony and the Power of Long-Term Loyalty Frank's assistant Jen has been with him for 20 years across multiple businesses His brother Anthony joined his mortgage banking venture from day one When Frank left for City Hall, Anthony gave up his own firm to hold the client base together Anthony now runs Oaktree Solutions as CEO [00:26:40] Credibility, Authenticity, and Playing the Long Game Credibility and authenticity are the two words Frank returns to again and again You cannot have credibility without authenticity; it is the baseline Real credibility means admitting when you are wrong and pivoting when you have to His advice: do not burn bridges, admit mistakes, and embrace relationships rather than just collecting them [00:29:00] Russ Prince and the Everyone Wins Framework Frank cold-emailed Russ Prince after seeing his name in a book foreword; Russ responded in seconds They connected immediately and Russ has workshopped problems with Frank ever since Together they co-authored Everyone Wins! to make relationship-building accessible to anyone Frank's belief: building million dollar relationships is a learnable process, not a personality trait   KEY QUOTES "The skillset necessary to build million dollar relationships that stand the test of time can be learned." - Frank Carone "I don't think you could have credibility without authenticity.

Josh Block is the longtime leader of Block Imaging, a global healthcare equipment company known for its distinctive people-first culture and multigenerational family leadership. After unexpectedly stepping into the president's role at just 29 years old, Josh spent the next decade and a half guiding the organization's growth from a $30 million business into a thriving enterprise of over 425 team members. In this episode, he joins Brad to share insights from his new book, People Matter at Work, a practical framework for helping leaders create cultures where team members feel safe, seen, and successful, and where the organization wins as a result. Brad and Josh talk through the pivotal backyard moment that changed the course of Josh's life overnight, what it was like to suddenly lead people decades older than him, and how humility became the essential ingredient that shaped his leadership. They explore the "Me Cycle" vs. the "We Cycle," why so many workplaces get stuck in unhealthy patterns, and how transparency, thoughtful leadership, and tough-but-kind conversations can turn a culture around. Josh also shares real stories from inside Block Imaging, the importance of organizational identity, and what it looks like to democratize leadership as a company grows far beyond the founder's reach. This Week on The Wow Factor: Josh's early roots in Lansing, Michigan, selling strawberries door-to-door and discovering a love for entrepreneurship at a young age The unexpected Friday-to-Monday transition from sales rep to president, and how humility shaped his early leadership What the Me Cycle looks like inside companies, and why leaders unintentionally create cultures where people stop caring The We Cycle: how safety, transparency, and shared purpose turn individuals into a thriving team Why organizational identity matters, and how a clear mission draws the right people and gently repels the wrong ones How Block Imaging grew from 30 employees to more than 425, and why growth creates opportunities for others, not just leadership A real-time story from this week: how Josh coached a leader through caring for a team member facing trauma at home Why clear, honest feedback is generosity, and how "closing the gap" conversations can transform careers "Leadership is accomplishing things through others, and that begins with humility." - Josh Block "If you're glad you're here today, it's because someone before you didn't stop the growth. That's the invitation to keep building for the next person." - Josh Block "When people feel safe, seen, and successful, they give back. It gets lighter for everyone because the work is shared." - Josh Block Josh Block's Wow Moment: Josh reminds us that technical skill doesn't automatically translate into strong leadership. Leading well takes humility, curiosity, and a commitment to building a culture where people truly matter. His core message is simple: people are worth it. When leaders slow down, care intentionally, and lead transparently, the impact reaches far beyond the work itself.

What if a company could deliver high quality products at low cost, improving the value for customers and giving it a competitive edge, all while offering higher pay and career growth opportunities for its employees and not hurting the bottom line?Zeynep Ton is a professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management, president of the Good Jobs Institute, and author of The Case for Good Jobs: How Great Companies Bring Dignity, Pay, and Meaning to Everyone's Work. Zeynep joins Greg to explain the interconnected components of the “good job strategy,” such as standardization, empowerment, cross-training, simplification, and the incorporation of slack in schedules. She emphasizes that companies should view their workforce as value drivers rather than costs to be minimized, advocating for investment in employees for better productivity and sustainable company growth.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The ‘good job strategy' requires systems thinking43:47: A lot of organizations operate in silos, and ‘the good job strategy' requires systems thinking, interconnected decisions, and all the decisions coming back to: how do we create value for the customer and how does this interact with other choices to deliver that type of value? And as long as we do the AB testing and requiring on, rigorous, and I do not think it is rigorous, it is, yeah, it is math, but it is not rigorous logic, it will be very difficult to adopt this.Standardization is a gift28:51: Standardization is a gift because there are so many things I do not even have to think about. So, think each of these choices is helpful to say what are the mindsets that are driving the choices, when used that way, and standardization is not just about work, [but also] standardization of management practices.Why ‘the good job strategy' creates competitive advantage13:02: I can see a lot of companies in the same industry using ‘the good job strategy' as long as they have a differentiation in the eyes of their customers and they're improving their value, continuously using the strategy. It's not good jobs that differentiates. It's the customer value that is a source of competitive advantage.Why unmet basic needs drive employee turnover17:02: You ask our students what motivates people. Everybody is gonna talk about is a sense of belonging, achievement, meaning, recognition. Of course, those things are the motivators. But so many people do not have their basic needs met. And there is tremendous lack of awareness. And those are, oftentimes, the biggest reasons for employee turnover that I have seen in many organizations that I work with.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Good Jobs Institute Toyota Production SystemJohn Paul MacDuffieCharlie MungerQueueing theory“How CEOs Manage Time” by Michael Porter and Nitin NohriaBob NardelliPete StavrosGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at MIT Sloan School of ManagementProfessional WebsiteProfessional Profile on LinkedInGuest Work:The Case for Good Jobs: How Great Companies Bring Dignity, Pay, and Meaning to Everyone's WorkThe Good Jobs Strategy: How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost Profits Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Luis brings a wealth of experience from his time in the trenches as an MSP owner, and now as someone who works closely with MSPs worldwide. His approach challenges traditional thinking, offering a fresh perspective on what it truly means to partner with your clients. This isn't just about delivering excellent customer service—it's about creating meaningful, strategic relationships that foster long-term loyalty and, of course, consistent revenue.  One of the standout points from our conversation was Luis's perspective on customer service. He argued that what many MSPs consider exceptional service—fixing issues quickly and meeting SLA commitments—is now merely the baseline. In his words, these are “table stakes”. Instead, the real opportunity lies in evolving beyond the reactive and operational aspects of client management. MSPs should focus on account management processes that align with their clients' business goals, ensuring those relationships are value-driven rather than transactional. This shift not only strengthens partnerships but also secures recurring revenue streams.  Luis shared some actionable tips on how MSPs can achieve this. Firstly, he encouraged us to rethink how we approach clients with established relationships. If your current process is purely tactical—focused on filling the “white space” of products not yet sold—you risk being seen as nothing more than a vendor. To counter this, Luis suggested piloting a more strategic engagement model with a few clients, ensuring you've fine-tuned your process before rolling it out broadly. This iterative approach minimises risk, maximises impact, and reinforces trust—key drivers of revenue growth.  Another critical takeaway was the importance of regular communication. Luis stressed that reducing engagement with smaller clients due to perceived stability is a missed opportunity. By increasing touchpoints, even in lighter ways, MSPs stay top-of-mind and maintain strong relationships. These frequent conversations also allow you to unearth operational challenges and future opportunities, making it easier to align your services with your clients' evolving needs. This continuous alignment is what transforms satisfied clients into long-term partners and consistent revenue contributors.  We also discussed the concept of risk versus security. Many MSPs default to promising clients safety and security through technical measures. While essential, Luis pointed out that these conversations often miss the mark. Instead, shifting the dialogue towards risk management reframes the value proposition. Clients are more engaged when they understand how you're helping them navigate and mitigate risks specific to their business. By positioning yourself as a strategic advisor in this area, you deepen the relationship and create new opportunities for revenue.  One particularly poignant idea Luis shared was the need to measure client success beyond retention and churn metrics. He emphasised the value of demonstrating ROI by connecting the dots between projects delivered and their tangible business impact. For instance, showing how an MFA implementation reduced failed login attempts to zero doesn't just highlight your technical competency; it proves the value of your services in a business context. This approach, Luis explained, helps justify costs while strengthening the perception of value, directly influencing revenue retention and growth.  Towards the end of our discussion, Luis brought everything back to the importance of storytelling. Whether it's demonstrating your value to clients or marketing your services to prospects, telling the story of a single client's success is far more impactful than citing general trends. By focusing on one relatable example, you resonate more deeply with your audience, making it easier for them to see themselves benefiting from your expertise.  This episode is packed with practical advice for any MSP looking to improve client relationships and optimise revenue. From building strategic account management processes to reshaping the way you measure success, Luis Giraldo provides a wealth of insights that are both actionable and transformative.  If you're ready to rethink your approach and take your client relationships—and revenue—to the next level, this is the episode for you. And don't forget, as Luis said, it's all about testing and refining.

Have you ever considered the fact none of us ever have a truly original idea? It's true. Everything we do and every idea we have is born from another idea. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton takes a moment to process this idea that everything can be attributed to someone or something else. When we learn and grow, we get better and produce better ideas. Those ideas, in turn, will help other people grow and develop their own ideas. It's the sharing of ideas that allows each of us to grow and serve others better.  If you have questions or would like to connect with us outside of the podcast, here's where you can find us:  Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/meaning_over_money⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meaning_over_money Daily Blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://travisshelton.com/blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Subscribe to the daily blog: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shorturl.at/ipS35⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Podcast Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/370457478238932⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Podcast website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.travisshelton.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Travis's Instagram:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/travis_shelton_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCasnj17-bOl_CZ0Cb9czmyQ

A Partnership Exit Strategy where Everyone WinsOur guest Host for today was Chris Jones, President of True North M&A. Chris interviewed his firms' advisor, Tim Schinke and Tim's client, Dan Sundin. Dan is the co-founder and CEO of Innovative Technology Partners (ITP), a managed services tech company in the Twin Cities.  Dan and his partners, Andy and Mark founded the business in 2004, and grew it rapidly, utilizing the unique skill sets they each brought to the table. Andy and Mark were former employees of Dan's at another firm, which is how they initially met. When Dan approached them to discuss starting their own business, they were all ears. They did a lot of the right things to try and stay out of the day to day of the business. They even hired outside leadership to grow and operate the company, but that plan didn't work so well, so when Dan decided he was ready to take some chips off the table, he approached his partners to see what their appetite was for selling the company. Being about 10 years younger than Dan, they were at different stages in life and were more motivated to get the most money possible for the business than Dan. They kicked the idea around for a couple of years, and then brought Tim in to talk more seriously about their options. Dan knew that his children were not interested in taking over, so an outside sale was apparent. The team at True North was able to help them structure the right deal at the right price, and everyone came away with feeling it was a fair deal. They all still work for the firm and Dan has an equity stake. Each partner achieved their best exit outcome, and Dan says that would have never happened without the help of the team at True North M&A. Listen to the show hereLearn more about True North M&A here  Connect with Chris here Support the showAre you ready for your best exit?

This week we're getting very excited about one of the international cultural events of the year. The Oscars take place this weekend and in an amazing turn of events, two Scottish businesses have reason to celebrate. Fetcha Chocolates and The Gin Bothy will both see their products feature as part of the famous "Everyone Wins" gift bags which the nominees receive. These bags have an approximate value of $125,000 and include such exclusive contents as luxury skincare and a lavish holiday in St Bart's. On this episode of Scran Rosalind speaks to Fiona MacArthur from her business Fetcha Chocolates in Campbelltown about this exciting development, as well as how she's got to where she is today. You'll hear about how she has gone all out to capitalise on this opportunity. Rosalind also speaks to Kim Cameron, owner of The Gin Bothy about the 'pinch me' moment of being asked to contribute one of her gins to the gift bag. She also tells Rosalind the great story of how she went from jam making to gin making and how both businesses are reaping rewards. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

YOU"RE NOT ALONE>>>Website: https://www.nami.org/HomePhone: NAMI HELPLINE 800-950-6264 or TEXT "helpline" to 62640In 2020, the nation took a significant step forward with the enactment of the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, a bill NAMI advocated for that created a nationwide three-digit number (988) to assist people experiencing a mental health or suicidal crisis. This number is now available in communities across the country.NAMI recognizes that other organizations have drawn distinctions between what diagnoses are considered “mental health conditions” as opposed to “mental illnesses.” We intentionally use the terms “mental health conditions” and “mental illness/es” interchangeably.A mental illness is a condition that affects a person's thinking, feelings, behavior, or mood. These conditions deeply impact day-to-day living and may also affect the ability to relate to others. If you have — or think you might have — a mental illness, the first thing you must know is that you are not alone. Mental health conditions are far more common than you think, mainly because people don't like to, or are scared to, talk about them. However:1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24A mental health condition isn't the result of one event. Research suggests multiple linking causes. Genetics, environment, and lifestyle influence whether someone develops a mental health condition. A stressful job or home life makes some people more susceptible, as do traumatic life events. Biochemical processes and circuits and basic brain structure may play a role, too.None of this means that you're broken or that you, or your family, did something “wrong.” Mental illness is no one's fault. And for many people, recovery — including meaningful roles in social life, school, and work — is possible, especially when you start treatment early and play a strong role in your own recovery process.THERE'S HELP & HOPE...

Skilled trades entrepreneur Tommy Mello joins the podcast to talk about creating a business where everyone wins: business owners, employees, vendors, AND customers. Tommy's main motivations in business are relationship-building and helping employees make a good living. Those motivations contribute to the development of company culture; even though cultures build themselves naturally, developing the right leaders will help build a positive company culture that values all employees equally. Tommy trains leaders to develop their strengths, shows them that they are valued, and gives them the resources they need to succeed. When companies grow, communication tools and project management technologies need to be standardized to help organize the company, including using checklists and SOPs. Departments also need to keep their focus on the company's main goal, not just the success of their division. The goal is to make sure that people are aware of their responsibilities early on and on board with the company's vision. To get the right people on board in the first place, we can improve our recruiting processes if we use social media to recruit talent—people who already have a job and are proven in their roles. Tommy also sees recruiting as a constant process that happens everywhere in the community and requires communication and follow-up. Tommy and Bryan also cover: Tommy's business: A1 Garage Doors Service Training leaders Allocating responsibilities and getting the right people on the bus Not punishing people for mistakes Unifying competition and collaboration Striking a balance of go-getting and humility Hiring for your weaknesses Tommy's new book, Elevate Building a legacy around serving others Seeing everyone as an individual instead of a representative Pricing and integrity   Check out Tommy's latest book, Elevate, at http://elevateandwin.com/.

This week, hosts AJ Mass (@ajmass), Chappell (@chappells_show) and Jessica Liese (@haymakerhattie) discuss the "The Walking Dead: Dead City" Season 1 Episode 4, "Everyone Wins a Prize."

Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team Dr. Candy Campbell pt 3 Dr. Candace Campbell is a multifaceted person in just about every way you can think of. She is a career nurse with so many designations after her name, I could not even begin to explain them. She is as author, a producer of documentary films and an improv actor with some pretty intriguing, one person shows that she mainly uses in key note presentations at health care conferences. And in one of them, she portrays, probably the most famous nurse ever – Florence Nightingale. And we definitely will be talking about that. We had the blessing of having Candy in the program last year as we discussed her book, “Improv to Improve Healthcare: A System for Creative Problem Solving.” Now, she is releasing a new book titled, “Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team.” This book will be released in April of 2023. This episode is part three and the conclusion of a great three part interview! (At the time this interview is being published, Candy is appearing as "Florence Nightingale" in a solo act, off broadway production!  If you are in the NYC area during this time, use the link below to order your tickets)! In your book, I believe it was the first section or near the first section, you talked about “Risk being imperfect.”  That is something I have seen many leaders avoid at all costs. They believe if they are not “perfect” that will somehow make them seem weak and ineffective. What do you share about that from your book? Another section you have is “Silence the inner Editor.” Can you share what you mean by that phrase? I love your next section…  “Avoid ‘Yes or No' Questions.”   Can you share why that is so important in management? The section, “Treat others like you want to be treated,” just goes back to the “Golden Rule” from the Bible. It's amazing how accurate Biblical principles can be applied across all aspects of life. Candy, your book, “Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team,” will be released in April of 2023.  Are you taking pre-orders yet? If someone wanted to reach out to you, order your books, etc. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I'll put links to all of this in the show notes. Folks, as you can see, when you start looking at managing your company from a perspective of “Improv,” not comedy per se, but just deal with the situations as they arise and, handle the issues and have fun doing it – your business can't help but to grow. Your employees will love their work environment more and you will see less turnover. That means – EVERYONE WINS! Amen! I urge you to drop down into the show notes below and reach out to Dr. Candice Campbell. Go and visit her website. You will be amazed at the things she has on there to help YOU. She helps YOU to grow. Praise God. Be sure to order her new book, “Improv to Improve Your Leadership Team.”
