Podcasts about execution

This is part two of our mini-series on how identity shapes your behavior. Today I covered four more key traits: being a Systems Thinker, building identity on ownership, using performance as proof, and operating with a legacy mindset. If those sound like how you see yourself or who you're trying to become, then you're in the right place. And if you want help getting there, go to WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com.

Viewers watched in horror as she clutched her chest and stomach before collapsing, still holding a stuffed animal as she perished on camera. Horrifyingly, the video footage went viral, and the calculated nature of the hit left Mexico (and the rest of the world) stunned. Investigators are continuing to explore whether the murder was cartel-related, a personal betrayal, or both. Rumors point to a possible setup by an employee or even Valeria's best friend, who allegedly urged Valeria to stay at the salon just as the killer arrived. The most widespread theory, however, ties Valeria's death to her ex-boyfriend, Ricardo Ruiz Velazco (aka “Doble R”), a high-ranking member of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) cartel. One thing is certain: her execution was not random. Valeria's murder now stands as a devastating emblem of Mexico's brutal crossroads - where femicide, cartel violence, and institutional failure collide with devastating consequences.

In this episode, I talk about how your identity shapes your behavior. I got into this after asking ChatGPT what it thinks my identity is based on how I've used it. The answer surprised me and made me think about myself, and about how AI picks up on what we put out. I'm using what it said about me to help you understand what your digital footprint might be saying about you. This isn't just about tech, it's about self-awareness and how the world (online and offline) sees you. Show Notes:  [04:06]#1 Chatgpt tells me, dre, you are a relentless executor.  [07:12]#2 Discipline over emotion.  [10:49]#3 Truth teller and sharp edged leader.  [14:08]Recap Next Steps:

Affiliate marketing is shedding its outdated reputation and entering a new era—one centered on authenticity, emotional resonance, and genuine human connection. In fact, during the 2024 U.S. Cyber Monday, influencers and affiliate marketers were responsible for driving around 20% of e-commerce revenue, highlighting just how influential trust-based recommendations have become. At the center of that shift is “vibe marketing,” a new way of thinking about how brands and creators grow together.So, what does it really mean to “get the vibe right”? And how are creators and brands redefining influence?In this episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, host Adam Morrisey speaks with Andrew Abony, founder and CEO of Adbloom, about how affiliate marketing is evolving into something bigger—what Andrew calls vibe marketing. Andrew's background spans traditional media, early-stage startups, and the modern creator economy, and he's on a mission to help people earn a living by being themselves.The duo talk about what it really means to “get the vibe right,” how brands are losing control (in a good way), and why authenticity is the most valuable currency in marketing today.Key takeaways from the episode…Affiliate = Authentic referrals at scaleAndrew reframes affiliate marketing as a simple idea: people sharing products they actually use and love—and getting paid for it.Vibes > ViralityBrands win when their values, products, and partners align emotionally. When that alignment is off, people feel it and tune out.Execution over everythingThere are lots of good ideas out there. The ones that win are the ones that get shipped. No matter how scrappy the start.Let go of controlThe best-performing content often comes from creators, not corporate. Smart brands are leaning into co-creation, not just dictating the narrative.The new frontier is human + AICreators are using AI to scale their voice. Not to replace themselves, but to extend what they can do across platforms.The episode also covers…The story behind Adbloom's startThe origin of affiliate marketingStanley mugs and vibe-driven growthWhy B2B is starting to look more like D2CCreating community as a byproduct of doing something specialRunning, raison d'être, and what happens when you have the will and support to winAndrew Abony is the CEO and co-founder of Adbloom, a high-growth affiliate and partnership marketing agency that helps startups and enterprise clients scale through creator-driven content and performance marketing. With over 15 years of experience in growth strategy, digital product innovation, and mobile marketing, he has led initiatives at companies like Mood Media and Somerset Entertainment, where he launched award-winning products and forged key partnerships. His clients have included major brands like Uber, Buzzfeed, RBC, and ByteDance, and his work spans the gig economy, fintech, edtech, and D2C sectors.

On 3rd or 4th July 1594, Catholic priest John Cornelius was executed at Dorchester, along with three loyal men: Thomas Bosgrave, John Carey, and Patrick Salmon. Their crime? Helping a priest in Protestant Elizabethan England. In today's video, I share the story of John Cornelius—from his Irish-Cornish roots and education at Oxford, to his exile, priesthood, arrest at Chideock Castle, and eventual execution. A tale of courage, faith, and one man's final decision to become a Jesuit before facing death.   A sobering glimpse into the dangers faced by Catholics in Tudor England.   Subscribe for more true stories from Tudor history: betrayals, bravery, reform, rebellion—and everything in between.   #TudorHistory #CatholicMartyrs #ElizabethI #JohnCornelius #TudorExecutions #ChideockCastle

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz travel over 230 years back in time to the 1780s in New London, Connecticut, to tell the unfortunate story of 12-year-old Hannah Occuish, the youngest person in the United States to ever be executed. Young Hannah had not had an easy life, so when a local 6-year-old girl was found brutally beaten, Hannah was a prime suspect. She eventually confessed to the murder and in December of 1786, she was hung. But the question still remains… did the Native-American girl actually kill the wealthy farmer's daughter?

What happens when a top-tier academic walks away from the ivory tower and becomes a powerhouse investor? In this episode, Peter Winick sits down with David Bell—former Wharton professor, founder of Idea Farm Ventures, and investor in some of the biggest direct-to-consumer brands you know: Warby Parker, Bonobos, Harry's, Diapers.com, and Jet.com. David shares his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, offering real insight into why some thought leaders are drawn to the business world—and how they can thrive there. It's not just about having ideas. It's about turning those ideas into scalable, revenue-generating ventures. Execution isn't optional. It's everything. We dig into the frameworks David uses to evaluate whether a business is built for success—or doomed by bad execution. Why do 90% of ventures fail? Why do smart people struggle to build smart businesses? And how can thought leaders avoid the trap of "great idea, poor implementation"? You'll hear how David thinks about reinvention, the crumbling edges of higher education, and why thought leaders need more than charisma—they need operational rigor. This isn't theory. It's the playbook for transforming thought leadership into a business engine. Three Key Takeaways: • Ideas are easy—execution is everything. Most ventures fail not because of bad ideas, but because of poor execution. Thought leaders need discipline in branding, pricing, and go-to-market strategies. • Academia is no longer the only path. Experts are increasingly leaving universities to apply their knowledge in startups, tech, and corporate innovation roles—where their insights can drive real-world impact. • Strong thought leadership needs a solid business model. Concepts must be packaged into tangible, scalable offerings to succeed—whether that's products, platforms, or frameworks. If you found the David Bell episode insightful—especially the focus on turning great ideas into scalable businesses—don't miss our conversation with Michael McFall, co-CEO of Biggby Coffee. Like David, Michael dives deep into the reality that execution—not just inspiration—is what drives success. He shares hard-earned lessons on building systems, staying aligned with your purpose, and scaling a business without losing sight of your values. Both episodes tackle the tough questions around bringing thought leadership to life in the real world. Tune in to hear how strategy meets sweat equity.

In this episode, Jen Garrett discusses the critical components of building influence in one's career.

She shares personal experiences and strategies for how showing up with intention can create lasting impact and opportunities. Jen also introduces a new two-part solo series titled 'The Influence Factor', aimed at helping listeners build authority that opens doors. The episode ends with an actionable 'Executive Edge Challenge' encouraging listeners to pick one of the three levers to focus on improving.

In this powerful episode, we tackle a silent momentum thief that's derailing your progress: the obsession with preparation over execution.Ever find yourself endlessly researching, “just getting ready,” or chasing one more detail before you take action? You may be falling victim to FOMI—Fear of Missing Information. But here's the truth: you don't need more data—you need more daring.Dr. Stephen shares a moment from a recent thought-leadership session that will shift the way you think about what you need to be ready to move. #momentum #procrastination #preparation #problem  #action #takecareandlive

This episode explores the transformation of the historic 75-acre Valley Forge campus- home to Founding Forward, a national civic education nonprofit founded by the Union League of Philadelphia and Freedom's Foundation.Fred shares his journey from military service to international project management to teaching at Temple University.

Jim Mattis (quoted by Fred Conner)  “The things we remember most about a place are often how the built environment coexists with the landscape around it.” — Fred ConnerLinks Mentioned in Today's Episode:Founding ForwardUnion League of PhiladelphiaLeadership Blueprints PodcastMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn

Harnessing AI: The Future of Work and Education   If you're still hoping AI is a trend that'll pass, you might already be behind. In this electrifying episode of Richer Soul, Steve Cunningham, founder of Simple and creator of the Simple AI Business School, joins us to unpack how to thrive in an AI-powered economy — not just survive it. Steve doesn't just teach AI. He shows people how to use it, apply it, and prove their value in a rapidly shifting landscape. With the workplace transforming faster than ever, his Learn–Apply–Prove (LAP) model is exactly what professionals, business owners, and even solopreneurs need to remain irreplaceable. This isn't about coding or becoming a data scientist. It's about clarity, confidence, and competence — and how to build those with AI tools that are already available.   Key Takeaways:  AI Will Not Replace You — But Someone Using It Will. Steve warns that the danger isn't AI itself — it's not knowing how to work alongside it. The ones who succeed will be those who embrace augmentation, not automation. Learning Alone Is a Trap — Proof Is the New Power. Knowledge is cheap. Execution is everything. That's why the LAP model focuses on not just learning, but applying your skills immediately and proving your value in real-time. Don't Be a Turkey: Recognize the Pattern Before It's Too Late. In his upcoming book, Don't Be a Turkey, Steve draws a powerful analogy: turkeys get fed every day and assume life is good… until Thanksgiving. The lesson? Disruption doesn't warn you before it arrives. Prepare now. The Fastest Way to ROI in the AI World? Simple Systems, Not More Content. Most people drown in AI content but never take action. Steve believes simplicity is the unlock, and we need fewer inputs and more structured, intentional application.   Money Learnings: Steve was raised to think like an entrepreneur — making money was natural. But he didn't learn how to keep it until much later. He realized that financial success today isn't about how much you earn — it's about how you think, especially in a world where AI can generate income with fewer resources and smarter decisions.   About Steve Cunningham: Steve Cunningham is the founder of Simple and creator of the Simple AI Business School (SABS) — the first AI-first business school in the world. With a background in law, marketing, and education, Steve has a proven track record of building tools and frameworks that help people master new skills quickly. His mission? Equip professionals to become AI-augmented high performers who are prepared for the workforce of tomorrow. His upcoming book, Don't Be a Turkey, is set to launch in 2025.   Key Discussion Points: Why traditional education is too slow for today's pace of change. The real threat of AI isn't job loss — it's skill irrelevance. Why “learners” aren't succeeding anymore — doers are. How to build AI competence without becoming technical. The new rules of credibility: results > resumes.  What professionals should focus on right now to stay employable. How solopreneurs can turn AI into a profit multiplier.   Conclusion: If you're feeling behind in the AI revolution, this episode is your reset button. Steve Cunningham doesn't just hand out theories — he provides a practical map to upskill, adapt, and lead in a transformed economy.   Links: Website: https://stevecunningham.ai/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aisteve/ X: https://x.com/stevecunningham   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

It's not just better SEO or more employees. It's how you run the business behind the scenes. We sat down with today's featured guest to dig into what's powered his insane growth from barely crossing seven figures back when we first met… to now staring down $35–$40 million in pure service revenue. He's sharing some great advice on the evolution of his role as CEO, his new-found love for podcasting, and all kinds of golden nuggets for agency currently in the “no man's land”. Chris Dreyer is the CEO of Rankings.io, a law firm marketing services agency that delivers exceptional results for attorneys without compromising on customer service. He'll discuss his agency's substantial growth from under a million to over $30 million in revenue, his reliance on data and key performance indicators (KPIs), the transformative role of AI in various aspects of his operations, the importance of in-person client meetings for building relationships, and much more. If you're still guessing your numbers or putting off tracking your team's time — you'll want to pay attention. In this episode, we'll discuss: The CEO's true job. Hidden agency growing pains. The key to client happiness. In-person hustle and outbound sales.

Why Data Became Like a Religion Back when Chris and I first locked ourselves in a tiny Atlanta room for a workshop, Rankings.io was barely peeking over the $1M mark. He was still deciding who to serve and how. Fast forward about 8-9 years to today, and he says there's no bigger reason for his success than his top-to-bottom data obsession. Most agency owners track just enough to feel busy: a few pipeline numbers, maybe close rates if they're fancy. But Chris tracks everything. He knows the lifetime value of a client paying $5K a month versus $10K a month. He knows exactly how each account manager's retention rate impacts revenue. He even scores sales reps like a fantasy football league. And it's not just vanity metrics. If an account manager is great at keeping clients but terrible at preserving the original retainer size, they fix it. If time tracking shows poor utilization? They fix it. It's relentless. The big unlock for him was getting a real CFO to build this machine — and shifting from QuickBooks to more robust systems like Sage. No more flying blind or hoping for the best. If you don't know your LTV, churn, win rates, and retention by the exact dollar, you're leaving growth up to luck. How AI Became His Secret Weapon (and Why You Should Care) Most agency owners dabble in AI: a blog here, a few prompts there. Chris has gone full cyborg. Every single month, his team uploads their entire reporting package into ChatGPT. They don't just glance at dashboards — they get an AI board of advisors that points out trends, flags issues, and even suggests campaigns based on sales funnel leaks. If they have clients applying but not booking, the AI says: launch a re-engagement sequence. If they're not sure why the expense spike looks off, the AI will cross-check it with your event calendar. Chris used to hate looking at financials — now AI does the heavy lifting. When it comes to AI agents, they're not doing as much and prefer to use AI assistants for content, link building, and optimization. He even has an AI board of advisers with different personalities. This isn't replacing people. It's leveling them up. It's like strapping a rocket to every role — so you can do more without burning out your team. If you're not leaning on AI for context and next steps, you're probably making slower (and worse) decisions than your competitors. The CEO's True Job: Gotta Catch ‘em All Now that he's running an agency pushing $40M in service revenue (not pass-through, real revenue) Chris defines his role as: “Playing people Pokemon. Gotta catch ‘em all. I get the clients, and my president keeps them.” He sets the vision, runs point on marketing and sales, hosts the podcast, and stays the face of Rankings.io. Meanwhile, his right-hand man, Stephen, owns retention and delivery. This split lets Chris hunt big opportunities without getting bogged down in fulfillment fires. It's the perfect example of how an owner's role must evolve. If you're still stuck in the weeds, wearing every hat, and calling that “leadership” — you're capping your agency's growth. The goal isn't to do everything. It's to build a team that does everything better than you ever could alone. And Chris's story is living proof. The Hidden Growing Pains Nobody Warns You About Ever heard of the dreaded “no man's land” for agencies? For Chris, it began after he crossed the $8M to $10M mark and things got painfully awkward fast. In this stage, you're forced to hire the roles that don't directly bring in revenue: HR, finance, middle managers. Suddenly, your once-scrappy margins start leaking everywhere. It feels counterintuitive, all these new salaries, and yet no extra billables. But here's the catch: this is the awkward but necessary step that'll set you up with the infrastructure to move from $10M to $15M, $20M or beyond. This is generally the zone where you feel like an imposter CEO — one foot in the hustle, one foot in the corporate world you swore you'd never build. The truth is, every growing agency owner faces this inflection point. And if you get it right, you build a structure that can handle scale. If you get it wrong, you risk staying stuck at the same revenue ceiling year after year. You Can't Turn It Off — And Maybe That's Okay Most founders agree they find it difficult to turn their business brain off, and honestly, they don't want to. Business is the hobby. While their kids are at soccer practice, their brain is rewriting the service agreement or tweaking a proposal. Sure, there's a cost. Vacations come with podcast episodes in the car. Weekends sometimes mean scanning P&L spreadsheets. But, as Jason and Chris admit: the key to staying sane isn't to “balance it perfectly” — it's to have the right partner who gets the obsession. Because when you're building a business that supports dozens, even hundreds of families, switching it off just isn't realistic. So you find the support system that lets you go all in and come home for dinner. Why Core Values Actually Matter Early on, you might roll your eyes at “company core values.” Chris admits he did and saw it as just a lot of fluff. But once you're managing 50, 100, or more people, vague values don't cut it — you need a shared language to protect the culture. His agency now runs on three non-negotiables: Excellence (do great work, always) Execution (don't just talk, get it done) Grit (stick with hard things for the long haul) While he used to rely on platitudes like “team player” — he sees now that the wrong person will be weeded out fast as long as the core values are clear. He also bails at the mention of “work-life balance” in an interview. Because for this team, the culture is built for people who like working hard. The Surprising Key to Client Happiness Think your killer case studies will keep clients happy forever? Think again. Client happiness is very subjective and your biggest churn risk isn't bad work — it's bad relationships. Sure, you can track Net Promoter Scores all day. But real retention comes from catching early warning signs, which Chris calls “saves”. A client going quiet, missing calls, or hinting they're not vibing with an account manager should be signs to take action, if you start tracking them, as he has. And here's the overlooked move more agencies need to revive: visit your clients in person. Everyone's got Zoom fatigue. Booking a flight and breaking bread goes a long way toward making you not just a vendor, but a trusted partner. How In-Person Hustle and Outbound Hunting Keep You on Top Even with all the fancy dashboards, AI copilots, and mega forecasting tools, Chris and his president still jump on planes to shake hands with clients. They even budget for it. When you're running a high-ticket service where each client can be worth $125,000 or more over their lifetime, dropping a couple grand to show up in person is a no-brainer. It's how you show you care more than the next guy who's sending templated emails and hiding behind Slack. Chris's take is simple: Want to stand out? Do what you say you're going to do. Show up. Make your clients look like heroes. When a big-name CEO flies out to see you — even if you didn't sell them the deal — you remember that. Big relationships should get the handshake treatment. Using AI for Confidence in an Agency Acquisition Chris didn't buy another agency until he was already pushing $30 million, while most owners pull that trigger way earlier to leapfrog plateaus. Why wait? According to Chris, he didn't have the confidence to do it. Until AI changed that. He used ChatGPT to run diligence questions, draft the LOI, check for financial holes, and sanity-check the entire earnout structure. Sure, he has a great CFO — but that AI second brain made the whole thing faster and way less intimidating. Now that he's got the first deal under his belt, he's hungry for more. That's how scale works: get clarity, take the shot, rinse and repeat. Pro tip: If you're scared to buy, partner, or hire, dump your numbers into AI. Ask it what it would worry about if it were buying you. It'll show you every skeleton in the closet — so you can fix them now. Why Outbound Sales is Your Insurance Policy Chris used to be very resistant to doing outbound but now it is saving him from the Google rollercoaster. Inbound is sexy when it works. But we all know it can be feast or famine. Algorithms change. Referrals dry up. And you're stuck hoping this month's pipeline looks like last month's. After getting tired of hoping, Chris built an outbound team that's now about 30 people deep. He's got BDRs making 50 high-quality calls a day, sending out handwritten notes with books, running multi-channel outreach, and gifting prospects to cut through the noise. Each practice area has its own sales enablement rep feeding lists, building sequences, and arming the closers with context. It's consistent and it means Rankings.io can hunt, not just fish. Big lesson: if you don't control at least three lead sources (inbound, outbound, and strategic partners), your agency's growth is on borrowed time. Don't put all your eggs in Google's basket. Outbound is insurance. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential? Check out our Agency Blueprint.

The job was editor-in-chief. The goal was to become the platform. And she did.  Once she made it to the top, she didn't just edit Vogue. She reinvented the power structures beneath it. This episode unpacks how a British girl who couldn't type built the most bulletproof career in media, survived five decades of disruption, and made herself indispensable to fashion, politics, and culture.   You'll hear how she weaponized speed over perfection, fired half the Vogue staff in three days, and turned a porn-funded job into a fashion laboratory. Why she said “Your job” when asked what she wanted. Why she put Madonna on the cover at the peak of a scandal. Why standards—not popularity—are her real moat. It's not about fashion. It's about building systems no one can take from you.   Most people aim for realistic. Anna Wintour named her destination—Editor of Vogue—at sixteen, then built a ladder no one else could climb.  This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Amy Odell's Anna: The Biography.
