All things in life have their chicken-and-egg debate—Which one came first? This is one of those situations that, in the world of business ownership, you're trying to figure out: Is it better to hire someone with great experience, or do you bring in someone younger and train them up? What do you do with that? We're going to be answering that, and I think it'll be really helpful. Also, I wanted to make you aware of the new Dickie and Donny Podcast. It's right here on the Business On Purpose channel. If you scroll through some of the previous episodes, you'll find The Dickie and Donny Show. That's Shawn and Brandon and two of our BOP coaches—amazing coaches—who get together and take a super fun, whimsical look at some of the challenges you're dealing with, walking through a lot of the tools within our operating system. Make sure to check that out! At the end, I'll also show you something that I think will be really helpful. But first: Do you really need world-class talent, or can you develop someone younger? There's a common misconception that business owners must always seek out world-class talent, which usually means overpaying. But this overlooks an important reality: Exceptional talent often comes with its own set of baggage or challenges. When you hire a top performer, you're not just managing their skills—you're also managing their quirks, demands, and potential difficulties. This issue reminds me of a very old story about a treasure in a field. A man stumbled upon a hidden treasure while walking through a field. He was thrilled—he saw something no one else did. So he approached the landowner and offered to buy the entire field. The landowner, unaware of the treasure, agreed to sell what he thought was just ordinary land. The man got the treasure, but he also became responsible for the entire field. We often miss that part of the story. He now had to tend to and care for every aspect of that land—not just the part he initially wanted. The parable perfectly illustrates what happens when businesses pursue world-class talent. You might secure that exceptional individual, but you're also taking on everything that comes with them. It's like buying the whole field just to get the treasure. So when you're thinking about top-tier candidates, it's best to conduct the hiring process—the one we've built and talked about in our Business Operating System—with caution and thoroughness. In fact, as I'm recording this, we just put an offer out to a new team member last week, and we walked through every step of our hiring process to get there. That's why we strongly advocate for a documented, checklist-based hiring process for every business owner. It acts as a safeguard, slowing you down and helping you avoid potentially costly mistakes. A structured system allows you to thoroughly evaluate a candidate's skills, achievements, and cultural fit. It helps uncover any potential baggage that may come with their talent—because there will be baggage. The goal is not just to hire the best talent, but the right person—someone who will contribute positively to your team and mission. That's why we have core values and a stated mission: to use them as filters for decision-making, especially when hiring. Sometimes, the best hire isn't the most decorated or accomplished individual—it's the one who best aligns with your company's needs and culture, if you've built it and written it out. By implementing a comprehensive hiring process, you give yourself the best chance of finding that hidden treasure—without inadvertently taking on more than you bargained for. It's about striking the right balance between talent acquisition and culture fit, ensuring your new hire is an asset to your team in every way because you've worked through every item on that checklist. If you've got questions about this, as I've said before, some of our coaches have set aside time just for you. If you're a business owner, the primary owner, with three or more full-time W2 employees and doing $1M+ in revenue, you can hop on a 15–20 minute “Ask Us Anything” call—no strings attached.

The Twins swept the Orioles and Giants at home in a 6-0 week that vaulted them over the .500 mark for the first time this season. Exceptional pitching led the way and timely hits from the lineup finally began to materialize. Nick recaps the many highlights and riffs on a lukewarm return to action for Royce Lewis in this weekly recap.

Leadership coach, speaker and Forbes contributor Dr. Cheryl Robinson shares how leading well starts with getting priorities straight. "If no one is dying, it's not that important." Exceptional leaders take risks, always looking at the existing ways things get done and asking "is there a better way?" It is ok to stay in your lane, avoiding the trap of perfectionism in focusing on the well being of your own teams as you help lift them to higher performance. Success means more than just output. And if your teams' momentum feels stuck, don't forget to play the "Game of 20."

Hebrews 1:1-4

Good teams get it right about half the time. Great teams work hard, build skill, and get it right most of the time. Exceptional teams excel because they critically review even their best performances to see what wasn't perfect that they could learn from and do better on the next time. It is a process that some call Plan-Do-Review and it was essential to high performance in the nuclear submarine force and for every team I've been on since. Highlights Networking with clients in person. Aspire for More Mastermind Group. Introduction to captive insurance. Switch to exclusively using Delta Airlines.

Steve Zehngut is a seasoned entrepreneur and technologist with over 30 years of experience in digital strategy, technical leadership, and business development. He founded Zeek Interactive, a Huntington Beach-based digital agency specializing in web, SaaS, and mobile development, which he sold in February 2024 at a 3.5x EBITDA multiple. Steve later founded SnapCTO, where he helps founders align their technology with their business vision. He also serves as the Membership Chair for the Orange County Entrepreneurs' Organization, highlighting his commitment to fostering entrepreneurial growth and collaboration within the community. In this episode… Building a business around technology is one thing — aligning that technology with a clear business vision is entirely different. Many founders rush into development without a strategy, burning time and money on products that don't scale or serve their market. Add in the pressure of hiring technical talent and managing growth, and the journey can quickly spiral into chaos. Steve Zehngut, a seasoned technology strategist and digital product expert, shares how to approach tech with intention rather than urgency. Steve explains the value of slowing down to ask strategic questions, how saying “no” can fuel growth, and why leaders should focus on aligning tech decisions with business outcomes. He emphasizes the importance of building relationships and providing value, which helped him secure marquee clients like Disney and Amazon, even during tough economic times. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Steve Zehngut, Founder of Zeek Interactive and SnapCTO, about the keys to aligning technology with business vision. They explore Steve's transition from filmmaking to software development, lessons from the sale of his agency, and his current mission of helping founders avoid common startup tech traps. Listeners will learn the value of choosing value-aligned clients and the impact of community engagement.

If you've been doing all the “right” things but it still feels sticky, off, or oddly lonely, this one's for you. You're not broken. You're not behind. You're not missing anything. You're just crossing a threshold most people don't talk about. You're on your way to becoming exceptional. And yes, it can feel weird.In this episode, we take a breath and a good honest look at:Why the road to mastery often feels quieter (and wobblier) than you'd expectThe invisible gap between being high-functioning and being truly exceptionalWhat it really looks like when you outgrow old tools, spaces, or peopleThe internal shift that actually makes space for big, grounded growthThe one skill that makes the whole thing smoother, more peaceful, and way less chaotic: self-coachingThis isn't about hustling harder. It's about softening. Unlearning. Noticing what's no longer working, and gently letting go.If you're in the middle of a stretch that feels like the old way is cracking and the new one hasn't landed yet, this episode is your permission slip to keep going.

In this JCO PO Article Insights episode, host Harold Tan summarizes Low Kynurenine Levels Among Exceptional Responders on Phase Ib Trial of the HDAC Inhibitor Abexinostat with Pazopanib by Tsang et al, published November 07, 2024. Transcript Harold Nathan Tan: Welcome to JCO Precision Oncology Article Insights, where we explore cutting-edge discoveries in the world of cancer treatment and research. I'm Harold Nathan Tan, your host, and today we're taking a focused look at a compelling phase Ib trial led by Dr. Tsang, which investigates a combination of abexinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, with pazopanib, a VEGF-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors. VEGF inhibition has long been an established therapeutic strategy across a wide range of tumor types, including colorectal, ovarian, sarcoma, and renal cell carcinoma. These agents function by disrupting tumor angiogenesis, effectively limiting oxygen and nutrient delivery to malignant cells and contributing to improved survival outcomes. However, over time, acquired resistance remains a significant challenge. A key mechanism implicated in this resistance involves the upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, or HIF-1-alpha for short, a master regulator of angiogenesis that restores VEGF signaling under hypoxic conditions. Interestingly, HIF-1-alpha overexpression is mediated by histone deacetylases, especially HDAC2. Preclinical studies suggest that HDAC2 inhibition can suppress tumor cell migration and downregulate HIF-1-alpha activity, effectively disabling a critical escape pathway used by tumors under VEGF pressure. Moreover, combining HDAC inhibition with VEGF blockade has demonstrated synergy in pazopanib-resistant tumor models, forming a compelling rationale for this dual approach. The phase Ib trial by Tsang et al. was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of this dual-targeted approach in patients with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors. A dose-expansion cohort focused on individuals with renal cell carcinoma, allowing for more detailed evaluation in this population. A central component of this study was the incorporation of biomarker analysis, particularly regarding HDAC2 expression levels. The results were noteworthy. Patients with high HDAC2 expression achieved a progression-free survival of 7.7 months compared to only 3.5 months in those with low expression. Even more compelling, overall survival reached 32.3 months for those with a high HDAC2 expression versus just 9.2 months for those with low expression. This suggests the potential role for HDAC2 as a predictive biomarker for response to combination HDAC and VEGF-targeted therapy. The authors also explored the metabolic landscape of these patients, conducting metabolomic analysis focused on kynurenine, a key tryptophan catabolite known to contribute to the immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment. Its reduction is driven by HIF-1-alpha and inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. What they found was striking. Exceptional responders, defined as patients with treatment responses lasting more than 3 years, had consistently lower levels of kynurenine both before and after treatment. This finding introduces kynurenine as a potential metabolic biomarker. It suggests that patients with lower kynurenine levels may have a less immunosuppressive microenvironment, making them more responsive to the combined effects of HDAC inhibition and VEGF blockade. Of note, VEGF levels themselves did not significantly differ between responders and nonresponders, highlighting that the treatment benefit is not purely VEGF-mediated but likely driven by epigenetic and metabolic modulation. On the safety front, the combination of abexinostat and pazopanib was generally well tolerated. However, this study did report a correlation between higher plasma concentrations of abexinostat and an increased incidence of thrombocytopenia, a class effect associated with HDAC inhibitors. This trial introduces several key considerations for future research. First, it calls for validation of HDAC2 as a predictive biomarker. If confirmed in larger cohorts, HDAC2 expression could be used to select patients most likely to benefit from HDAC inhibitor-based regimens, transforming how we approach trial enrollment and treatment planning. Second, the link between low kynurenine and exceptional response supports further investigation into how metabolic pathways can influence treatment response to combined HDAC and VEGF inhibition. Overall, HDAC inhibitors hold significant promise in precision oncology. Realizing their full therapeutic potential requires a deeper understanding of HDAC biology, refined combination strategies, and thorough preclinical and clinical evaluations tailored to individual patient profiles. This study exemplifies the potential of epigenetic-metabolic crosstalk as a therapeutic vulnerability and underscores the importance of precision stratification in clinical trial design. As research in this space progresses, the integration of molecular, epigenetic, and metabolic profiling will be essential in optimizing the use of HDAC inhibitors and expanding their role within precision oncology.
