Podcasts about execution

Without even speaking, others decide if you're a predator or prey—based on your energy, your body language, and how you carry yourself.  In this episode, I talk about how people size you up the moment you walk into a room. I break down what those two mean, how that judgment happens in seconds, and what you can do to show up with strength and presence every time. Show Notes: [01:59]#1 Predators move with certainty. [08:10]#2 Predators command and own space. [18:21]#3 Predators control the energy.  [22:10] Recap Next Steps: ⚡️ Power Presence Protocol  Command The Room Without Words → http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com

From Startups to a $941 Million Exits: The Execution Formula for Entrepreneurs   Most entrepreneurs don't fail because they lack ideas—they fail because they stop executing. Planning feels safe. Execution exposes reality. Billion-Dollar Coach Marc L. Daniels learned that truth the hard way—from paper routes to startups to a $941 million exit. In this episode of Richer Soul, Marc reveals why 85 percent of business plans fail, how to build the discipline to follow through, and the system that keeps momentum alive even when markets shift.   Key takeaways and reflection:  Most Plans Fail in Execution, Not Design. A perfect plan on paper means nothing if you don't act on it. Marc shared that only 7 out of 100 companies both plan and execute effectively. Reflection: How often do you review your goals after you set them? The Rhythm of Success: Quarterly Planning + Weekly Check-Ins. Annual plans fade fast. Marc recommends quarterly focus with a short list of priorities—and a weekly leadership check-in to track progress. This rhythm keeps accountability alive. Reflection: Do you have a weekly rhythm that forces progress on what matters most Trends Are Waves—Learn to Paddle Early. Marc built multi-million-dollar businesses by spotting and riding trends early. But he warns: AI isn't a trend, it's table stakes. The key is to distinguish short-term fads from shifts that redefine industries. Reflection: Are you riding the right wave—or chasing shiny distractions? Build Around Core Values, Not Just Skill Sets. Talent without alignment creates chaos. Marc hires for values first, knowing skill can be taught but character can't. Reflection: Does your team share your values—or are you tolerating misalignment because they perform well? Manage Your Success Before It Manages You. As Marc says, "Learn to manage success." Growth can destroy a business if systems and habits don't mature with it. Discipline, boundaries, and reflection are what turn momentum into mastery. Reflection: How are you managing your success so it doesn't manage you? Planning for the Future Means Expecting Change. Marc's company once lost its footing when the market shifted overnight. His takeaway: tear up the plan when the world changes. Flexibility beats rigidity every time. Reflection: When was the last time you updated your plan to match new realities?   Money Learnings: Marc's early lessons with money came from necessity—earning his own cash as a kid and even buying his dad new tires when the family couldn't afford them. That foundation shaped his lifelong belief: cash flow is freedom. In business, he learned the hard way that relying on investors or trends without strong margins is a recipe for collapse. Profitability and discipline—not outside money—create true security. His mantra: get cash-positive fast, manage success wisely, and never stop adjusting your plan.   Key Takeaway: Execution is not about doing more—it's about doing what matters most, consistently. Set quarterly goals, hold weekly check-ins, ride the right trends, and build a team that shares your values. That's how billion-dollar growth is created—one disciplined week at a time.   Bio: Marc L. Daniels, known as the "Billion Dollar Coach," is a globally recognized business strategist who helps entrepreneurs turn vision into growth. With decades of experience guiding companies across 16+ countries, Marc has driven ventures from startup to multimillion-dollar exits, including co-founding Diligent, acquired for $941 million. Through hands-on coaching, workshops, and his Strategic Planning Academy, he equips business leaders to spot emerging trends, execute with precision, and achieve lasting success.   Links: Website: https://marcldaniels.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-l-daniels-231456a3/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Marc-L-Daniels/61566554887388/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marcldaniels/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarcLDaniels   Take ten minutes today to review your plan.

Too many men try to prove they're dominant, strong, or superior just to fit an image or attract attention. But when you focus on proving something, you lose sight of what actually makes you effective. Real strength isn't about a label—it's about substance, presence, and results. In this episode, I talk about why chasing the “alpha male” label misses the real point.  Show Notes [02:28]#1 Labels are not power.  [07:40]#2 Noise is not a strength.

Send us a textTransitioning EMRs can either be the upgrade that unlocks your practice's next level—or the operational nightmare that drains cash, kills productivity, and torpedoes patient experience. In this hard-hitting episode of Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Siegel demolishes the “4–6 week” implementation myth and lays out a battle-tested roadmap: a realistic 3–6 month (often 9–12 month end-to-end) plan, a 90-day parallel run, airtight data migration (HL7/FHIR/CCD/CCDA), and surgical timing for EDI/ERA so revenue doesn't evaporate mid-switch. You'll learn how to map workflows, choose features that matter (not “massaging seats”), set KPIs, avoid AI-driven compliance traps, stage go-lives during low-volume windows, and build a true stakeholder taskforce (project lead, super users, vendor coordination) with downtime contingencies and HIPAA-grade security. If you're changing EMRs in 2025–2026, this is your no-BS playbook to protect cash flow, staff, and patients—while actually improving care.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

In this episode, I'm wrapping up part two of How to Intimidate Without Talking. I talk about how real power shows up through composure, presence, and silence. When you stay calm under pressure, hold your space, and don't react to provocation, that's real intimidation. You don't need to argue or prove yourself—your control speaks louder than words.

Rebecca Matchett is a serial entrepreneur, fashion innovator, and now tech founder who's built her career around solving real-world problems. From co-founding Alice + Olivia to developing a patented women's sizing system called TrioFit, Rebecca has consistently combined creativity and practicality to build impactful businesses. Now, she's channeling that same drive into Synchrony—a new social app designed to help neurodivergent adults connect and combat loneliness in meaningful ways. On this episode we talk about: How Rebecca transitioned from fashion and retail into tech entrepreneurship The story behind founding Alice + Olivia and what she learned about branding and innovation Why ideas alone aren't enough—and how to validate your market before launching The challenges and benefits of self-funding vs. outside investment How Synchrony is using technology to address the loneliness epidemic among neurodivergent adults Top 3 Takeaways Great businesses start by solving problems you truly understand—personal experience is a powerful indicator of market need. Validation matters more than inspiration. Don't build before you know who actually wants your product. Bootstrapping gives you control, focus, and creative freedom that investors often limit. Notable Quotes “Ideas are easy. Execution and validation are what separate entrepreneurs from dreamers.” “When you solve a problem for yourself, you're often solving it for thousands of others.” “Connection is the most human need we have—and we're building a tool to make that accessible again.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Alan Stein Jr, former basketball performance coach to Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, and other NBA superstars, reveals why knowledge without execution is worthless and how the world's highest performers bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Drawing from decades working with elite athletes, Stein explains that performance gaps exist in every area of life—we all know we should eat healthier, sleep more, and exercise consistently, but implementation separates good from great. Through stories of Kevin Durant's transformation from a frail 15-year-old with pristine fundamentals to NBA superstar, Stein unpacks the perfect storm required for elite success: physical predisposition combined with high IQ, work ethic, coachability, resiliency, and love of competition. He introduces self-awareness as the foundational requirement for growth—defining it as alignment between how you see yourself and how the world sees you. From his divorce-driven awakening to parenting twin sons with unconditional love while demanding effort and coachability, Stein demonstrates how principles from basketball translate directly to business, parenting, and personal development through focus on process over outcomes.

Episode Quotes from Kevin Weaver:   "If we can quantify delivered capacity on the air side, we can work our way back to what's happening on the refrigerant side."    "We don't have to diagnose everything remotely — we have to be great at saying, 'there's a problem,' and prioritizing action."    "Even the best design can be wrecked at installation. Execution matters."    Chief Engineering Officer Kevin Weaver joins Eric and Bill to go beyond "remote monitoring" and explain how SmartAC is really a loyalty and trade-intelligence platform for residential HVAC. With three simple wireless sensors — a supply-air "comfort" sensor (temp/RH), a filter sensor (temp/static pressure), and a water sensor — plus a cloud-connected hub, SmartAC tracks delivered capacity and trends changes over time. That minimum viable data set lets contractors catch problems early, prioritize the right calls, and give homeowners peace of mind without needing full remote gauges.   Kevin walks through the contractor toolset, which includes a white-labeled homeowner app, a Pro app for technicians, and a partner dashboard that also integrates with Field Service Management. (FSM) systems like ServiceTitan. The result is fewer emergency visits, healthier memberships, and durable customer relationships (i.e., less ad spend, more lifetime value). He previews Gen-2 hardware (more sensing in more places, stronger radios), battery options (18 months on AA lithiums or 5–8 years with a long-life pack), and notes that SmartAC is approaching 100k homes sold — building one of the most extensive residential HVAC data sets for richer insights across brands, geographies, and system types.   We conclude with wisdom from Kevin's Texas A&M research: even great designs can fail due to poor execution. Right-size returns, stretch flex, use collars and mastic, and keep static in check. SmartAC's data helps expose oversizing, blower mis-settings, and undersized returns in days, transforming maintenance plans into smart maintenance and turning "transactional" customers into lifelong customers.   Kevin's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-weaver/ SmartAC: www.smartac.com   Earlier episode with founder Josh Teekell (Ep. 136):  https://www.buildinghvacscience.com/ep136-utilizing-smart-maintenance-plans-benefits-your-customers-and-your-business-with-josh-teekell/   This episode was recorded in October 2025.  

After nearly a thousand episodes and years of impact, The E1B2 Collective Podcast evolves into its next chapter — The Business of Alignment. Hosted by Anthony “AJ” Vaughan, this series explores how alignment — between leaders, employees, culture, and strategy — is the real engine of business performance.AJ reflects on the podcast's journey, how it shaped his life and career, and why alignment has become the central truth behind “Employee First, Business Second.” From CHROs to revenue leaders, from startups to global enterprises, this show dives into the daily pursuit of harmony between people and performance, how timing, communication, leadership modeling, and organizational design shape outcomes.This isn't a rebrand; it's a maturation. A deeper, rawer conversation about how culture drives execution and how alignment transforms businesses, careers, and lives.

Ever had a brilliant idea that never made it past your brain? Or watched a dream die because someone poked too many holes in it before you even had a chance to build it?In this episode of Ambitious, George Bryant is back to teach one of the most powerful frameworks I've ever learned. This is the Dream Storming model, originally created by Walt Disney to bring Disneyland to life. We're breaking down the three core buckets (Dreamer, Builder, and Protector), the exact rules for each state, and how to recognize which bucket you naturally live in versus which one you go to when triggered.But here's where it gets really good: this framework isn't just for your business. George and I get vulnerable about how we use this in our long-distance relationship, how it's transformed the way we communicate during conflict, and why understanding someone's dominant state can completely shift the dynamic in your partnerships, friendships, and even with your kids.00:00 Introduction12:25 The Walt Disney Dream Storming Story18:09 Applying the Dream Storming Model33:50 Understanding the Dreamer Bucket34:32 Transitioning to the Builder Bucket35:04 Entering the Protector Bucket35:22 Applying the Dream Storming Process36:02 Facilitating Dream Storming with Teams36:40 The Importance of Discipline in Dream Storming45:41 Interpersonal Applications of Dream Storming50:29 The Power of Divergent Thinking53:31 Recognizing Natural and Triggered States01:05:08 Understanding the Protector Mode01:05:50 Navigating Conversations with Awareness01:12:03 Applying the Framework in Personal and Professional LifeConnect with George: InstagramWebsite  To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Strangers are always sizing you up, just like you size them up. Nobody cares about your story, your resume, or what's really going on in your life. They make snap judgments about you in seconds, based on what they see, hear, or even smell. In this episode, I talk about how people put you in boxes based on your presence — your look, your energy, your vibe — and how you can make those assumptions work for you instead of against you.

They reflect on the Giants' recent struggles, particularly their issues stopping the run and defending against the toss crack play that continues to burn them week after week.

Since its introduction in 1977, lethal injection has been the most commonly used method of execution by states with the death penalty. While it's often viewed as more humane than other methods, when the curtain is pulled back, it is tainted with error, ineptitude and secrecy that has led to many botched executions and unnecessary suffering. University of Richmond law professor and death penalty scholar Corinna Barrett Lain's debut book “Secrets of the Killing State” explores the secretive world of lethal injection in Missouri and throughout the U.S.

Khalil and Martin kick off a new series on building business function charts—starting with the foundational step: mapping your workflows. Using a real-world example from Martin's sprinkler company, they walk through how to visualize your business processes, identify bottlenecks, and turn chaos into clarity. By learning to map how work actually flows through your operations, contractors and small business owners can improve communication, streamline execution, and lay the groundwork for scalable systems.What You'll LearnThe difference between org charts and function charts—and why both matterHow to map workflows that clearly show how work moves through your businessWhy visualizing processes helps you manage better and reduce confusionHow tools like Kanban boards and AI can simplify workflow designPractical steps to turn mapped workflows into functional business systemsTime Stamps00:54 - Episode Intro02:20 -Understanding Business Function Charts03:12 -Real-World Workflow Example: Sprinkler Company17:54 -Job Scheduling and Preparation19:49 -Execution and Completion23:08 -Creating Workflows with AISnippets from the Episode“Everyone has workflows. Work is flowing through your business if you're in business. But just like you said, the visual is so helpful for understanding where things actually are.” — Khalil“When we had the sprinkler company, we literally had a Kanban table before software existed. Every job was a packet that moved from one step to the next. You could walk in and see exactly where everything was.” — Martin“You can spend an hour with AI and map out your entire workflow—then clearly see what your business actually does.” — Khalil“You should be using AI in this capacity. It's a thought partner—it helps you think through your processes, not just write emails.” — KhalilKey TakeawaysMap Before You Manage – You can't improve what you can't see.Visualize Workflows – Kanban systems make progress visible and predictable.Leverage AI – Use tools like Claude or ChatGPT to build, test, and refine workflows.Clarify Functions – Define what your business actually does, not just who does it.Lay the Foundation – Workflow clarity is the first step to scalable systems and future function charts.Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠24 Things⁠⁠⁠⁠ Construction Business Owners Need to Successfully Hire & Train an Executive Assistant⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule⁠⁠⁠⁠ a 15-Minute Roadblock CallCheck out⁠⁠⁠⁠ OpenPhone⁠⁠⁠⁠Build a Business that Runs without you.

Alright girl, today I've got David Grey on the pod. If you don't know him — he's one of the most sought-after and coolest coaches in the rehab and performance space. He's worked with Olympic athletes, pro footballers, and everyday people who were told they'd never move pain-free again.  What I love about David is he doesn't just chase symptoms — he changes how you move. He blends rehab, strength, and athleticism in a way that's simple, powerful, and actually works.  His approach is rooted in strategy and systems. But he always starts with the goal or vision - what do you want to be able to do. (and not being in pain is not a goal). Then we reverse engineers the plan and strategy from there.  We talk about why variety is the secret to resilience, why pain isn't proof you're broken, and why rehab is just training with a different name. This one's sharp, practical, and it'll flip how you see your body. Key Takeaways Rehab = Training. The only difference is pain. The process is progressive loading, intelligent exercise selection, and consistency. Variety builds resilience. Pure specialization makes you fragile; mix loads, tempos, planes, and patterns. Execution > exercise list. It's not “do calf raises,” it's own the standard and progress it (tempo, range, reps, load). Pain is nuanced, not a verdict. The biopsychosocial model matters: training load, sleep, stress, food, belief. Foundation before hacks. Walk more, eat enough, sleep, and dose your training — before you blame hormones. Joint longevity kit. Daily walking, big-toe extension, strong knees (bend + load), a supple spine (rotate/side-bend), hips that move. Goal → map → milestones. Start with the vision (play tennis, run 5K, lift), then reverse-engineer the steps and targets. Quotes “Rehab is just training in the presence of pain.” — David Gray “Variety is what keeps you resilient. Specialization without it makes you fragile.” — David Gray “Every movement has a standard — own it before you load it.” — Amy Bowe “It's not your hormones if you're under-recovered and under-fed — clean up the foundations first.” — David Gray “Pain doesn't mean you're broken; it means your body wants better capacity.” — Amy Bowe What We Cover The myth that anything sub-maximal is “useless” — and why low-load work still drives progress How David programs for athletes and everyday humans: vision → constraints → clear targets Training through pain without making it your identity Why scans rarely change the plan — and what actually does The most over-prescribed rehab trope (hi, “sleepy glutes”) and what to do instead A realistic “joint health insurance” plan for women in their 30s–40s Links & Resources Connect with David — Coach & educator at David Grey Rehab, known globally for redefining movement and rehab with precision, clarity, and results.

Topics:Early Fundraising MistakesCulture of Constructive DebateUsing Data for Value Creation ...and so much more.Top TakeawaysSimplicity is a fundraising advantage. New managers often try to stand out with creative structures or mixed strategies. Instead, make it easy for investors to say “yes”: standard 2/20 terms, one defined strategy, three memorable differentiators, and an ongoing dialogue with investors. Predictability builds trust—and trust raises funds.Healthy debate drives better decisions. Rotunda's culture is built on one principle: “Disrespect the idea, respect the colleague.” Every voice—associate or senior—is encouraged to challenge assumptions and pressure-test deals, but never the person presenting them. And if alignment isn't there, the deal is dropped. Forcing a divided deal almost always costs more than the opportunity lost.Strategy maps make execution measurable. Before closing a deal, Rotunda aligns with management on a 3- to 5-year vision, defining success through clear EBITDA targets, growth priorities, milestones, etc. Post-close, that strategy map becomes a living document reviewed monthly and used to guide board discussions. Every new opportunity is tested against it. If it's not on the map, it waits unless the team agrees to revise the plan. The result is sharper alignment, disciplined execution, and fewer “shiny object” distractions.Execution creates optionality. John's mantra “Get Sh*t Done” captures his belief that motion beats perfection. At Rotunda, that mindset led to bold experimentation: hiring data scientists before it was common, testing new pricing models, and launching analytics projects. Every executed idea broadens perspective and adds insight. Stack enough of them, and you create optionality. About John FruehwirthJohn Fruehwirth is the Managing Partner and co-founder of Rotunda Capital Partners. With 20+ years of experience across debt and equity investing, he's built a reputation for pairing disciplined execution with data-driven decision-making. Fruehwirth champions a hands-on, collaborative approach, focusing on operational improvement, culture, and measurable value creation.About Rotunda Capital PartnersRotunda Capital Partners is an operationally-oriented private equity firm that partners with founder- and family-owned companies in the lower-middle market.

Packers vs. Panthers: In-Depth Breakdown of Every Passing Play and Key Mistakes Film Room Analysis: LaFleur's Schemes, Love's Decisions, and Offensive Line Struggles Mid-Game Trades and Packers' Passing Woes: Full Review of the Carolina Clash This episode dives deep into the Green Bay Packers' frustrating loss to the Carolina Panthers, unpacking every passing play to reveal hidden opportunities and costly errors that turned a winnable game into a nail-biter. From Jordan Love's daring decisions to offensive line breakdowns, we explore why execution, not scheme, was the true culprit in a performance riddled with inopportune mistakes. Tease the silver lining: despite the setbacks, the Packers showed flashes of dominance that could propel them forward. Detailed film review of all 38 passing plays, highlighting open receivers like Luke Musgrave and Romeo Dobbs that Jordan Love overlooked in critical spots. Bold take: Matt LaFleur called a strong game with effective schemes getting players open, but offensive line lapses (e.g., Rasheed Walker and Jordan Morgan's blown blocks) and turnovers derailed drives. Insights on inconsistency—fumbles, sacks, and drops like Emmanuel Wilson's screen pass failure erased potential touchdowns, turning 17-7 leads into a 13-6 deficit.

In this episode, I break down how men size each other up — and yes, it happens every time a man walks into a room, even before a word is spoken. Most men don't realize this process is going on, but it's wired into our psychology. It's all about hierarchy, dominance, and respect — an unspoken conversation that happens between men everywhere. When you understand how it works, you can actually influence it instead of being controlled by it. Show Notes [03:09]#1 Presence is the first test.  [09:52]#2 Does physicality matter?

Read this episode: mikekim.com/foundational-frantic Watch this on YouTube » This week's episode is a bit shorter because I'm preparing for a live training later this week on How to Write and Market a Bestselling Book (register below). My thoughts for this week: Just because the work is quiet doesn't mean it's not important. This really just boils down to a fight we all face: foundational vs. frantic. Just like the autumn season here in the Northeast U.S. has a purpose, it's vital to define the purpose of the season you're in. You define it. Take agency over it. My definition for Q4: depth of execution, not volume of activity. You might be in a different season. Good. All I'm saying is: define it.

But real power comes from being able to shut the world out and protect your focus.  In this episode, I talk about how to put yourself in Do Not Disturb mode — not on your phone, but in your mind. I break down what this mindset looks like and how to switch into it fast, so you can stay locked in and get things done no matter what's going on around you.

  The Somers Trial: Mackenzie's Defense, Dana's Support, and the Presidential Intervention. Richard Snow discusses how after the execution, the Navy initiated an inquiry. Richard Henry Dana fully supported Mackenzie, describing him as saintly and honorable. The court of inquiry agreed that Mackenzie had behaved honorably. However, Mackenzie surprisingly sought a formal court-martial because John Spencer and Seaman Small's wife were pressuring for a civil murder trial. The court-martial ran from February 2 to March 31 and initially concluded that Mackenzie was honorably acquitted and heroic. However, President Tyler intervened, refusing to endorse the verdict and believing Mackenzie should have been hanged as a murderer. Mackenzie was acquitted and avoided a murder trial, but his honor was tarnished. Snow recommends readers act as the jury to decide Mackenzie's actions. Retry
