Location is everything. Just like in real estate, the spot matters more than the house itself, and the same rule applies in business and marketing. You can have the best product or service, but if it's in the wrong place, it won't win. On the other hand, something not-so-perfect in the right spot can outperform. In this episode, I break down why location is the number one rule and how it applies to your success. Show Notes:  [01:15]#1 A big piece of marketing is about how and where you show up.   [09:19]#2 Show up where you can stand up.  [17:47]#3 Branding. [21:25]Reca Next Steps: ---

In this episode I share how I came to lean into systematized discipline, what it is, where it came from, and why I'm the one talking about it. Before I ever had a brand or business, I was already living this even before I could put a name on it. Now I'm giving it to you with a clear explanation and a label so there's no confusion.

The Vermont DesperadoAd-Free Safe House EditionEpisode 386 tells the epic story of one of New England's most persistent scoundrels. It's the kind of story I delight in finding, that in another context would make a great Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen novel, this one about a slippery but dim-witted thief, that would almost be comic if there wasn't a tragic loss of life in Act II, and even when he gets his come-uppance in Act III, there's still a couple of strange twists in the tale.

At 1:40 AM on Saturday, September 28, 1974, police got a call about a traffic accident on State Highway 77 in Crittenden County Arkansas, three miles north of the Lake David Overpass. When they got there they found a 1964 Chevrolet which was stopped in the southbound lane of the highway. Near the abandoned car in a ditch, they found the body of 35-year-old Fred New Jr., a married father of three who worked the night shift at a local trucking company. Fred had been shot, three times, at very close range, with a shotgun. He had been shot in the neck, the side and the elbow. His shoes and socks had been removed and he had no identification. His pockets were turned out and the money he had on him which according to his wife was around $200, had been stolen. There was blood in the front of the car. Fred was lying in a pool of blood near the back of the vehicle - so either his killer or killers threw him out of the car, or he stumbled out after being shot and his killer fired the final shot or shots outside the car. Police got the call about Fred’s car after another driver ran into it, as it was stalled on the highway. But that driver fled the scene. And then, near where Fred’s body was found, police learned that a local gas station had been robbed. So they had a robbery, a hit-and-run, and a brutal execution style murder - all in the same night in the same small town.

In this episode, I'm breaking down how extremity becomes identity. When you live at the very edge of your craft, you stand apart from the dabblers who only do it halfway. I share how, back in my basketball days, players admired Kobe Bryant's extreme work ethic even though most couldn't match it. To make something part of your identity, you don't have to be the only one doing it, you just have to take it further than anyone else. I'll explain how to push to that level so your extreme becomes who you are. Show Notes:  [03:07]#1 Things you do at the extreme are how people come to define you.  [10:47]#2 Repetition at the edges forces recognition.  [17:54]#3  Extremity creates separation.  [25:28]Recap Next Steps: ---

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you stuck acting like an order taker instead of leading your clients with strategy? If you want to grow an agency that survives the competition, you need to do more than deliver pretty websites or manage ad budgets. You need to lead with strategy, prove it with data, and guide your clients through the journey—not the other way around. Too many agencies are still making decisions based on “gut feelings” instead of data, which is why today's featured guest is tackling exactly that problem—making it easier for everyone in a company to use data daily, so decisions are grounded in reality, not instinct. Pete Caputa is the CEO of Databox, a business intelligence platform built for small to mid-market companies that makes data adoption simple across teams. Before that, Pete spent nine years at HubSpot, where he famously launched and scaled the agency partner program—now responsible for billions in revenue. But Pete's journey didn't start in SaaS boardrooms. He began as an engineer, dabbled in early 2000s web apps after learning to code, and struggled through the grind of bootstrapping. his own ventures. A key pivot came when he connected with sales coach Rick Rober, who helped him sharpen his sales chops. That path eventually led him to HubSpot as the fourth sales rep and later, the architect behind the company's groundbreaking agency channel. In this episode, we'll discuss: Creating the HubSpot Agency Partner Program. Why agencies need to lead with strategy. AI as the new strategic edge. Selling strategy as a service.

The Birth of the HubSpot Agency Partner Program Early HubSpot sales conversations looked familiar to many agency owners: lots of free education, lots of excitement… and lots of ghosting. Agencies wanted to roll HubSpot out to their clients, but deals rarely closed. Pete recognized the deeper problem —agencies were stuck in project-based work and living on the cash flow rollercoaster. So he set out to teach agencies to package ongoing retainers instead of chasing one-off projects. That simple but powerful shift unlocked stability and scale. Agencies suddenly had recurring revenue, longer-term client relationships, and the ability to deliver compounding value. HubSpot, of course, became the backbone of that service delivery. What started as a scrappy idea became a multi-billion-dollar channel—and one of the most successful agency programs in SaaS history. Leaving HubSpot As HubSpot scaled, so did its internal politics. Pete found himself in the middle of a growing conflict between the direct sales team and the partner channel. Instead of collaborating, the two operated like competing businesses, often clashing at the deal level. Pete saw a solution, but realized implementing it would be painful in company scaling that fast. He eventually stepped away, even though he was responsible for nearly 40% of HubSpot's revenue at the time. “It got harder to get things done,” he admitted—proof that what works in a startup culture doesn't always survive as companies mature. The Evolving Challenges for Agencies Back in the early 2000s, agencies had to convince clients digital marketing was worth investing in. SEO, social, and funnels were foreign concepts for most businesses. Agencies had to sell belief before they could sell retainers. Today, the problem isn't buy-in—it's competition. Businesses now see digital as essential, but agencies are often commoditized into executing tactics. Instead of being trusted advisors, many find themselves replaceable—either by freelancers, in-house hires, or other agencies that “do the same thing cheaper.” The risk is clear: if you're not leading clients strategically, you're just a vendor waiting to be swapped out. Agencies Need to Lead With Strategy Most agencies claim to do strategy, but really, they only use it to justify selling a tactic. Redesigning a website? They'll run some quick competitor research. Launching content marketing? They'll whip up a persona doc. But that's not strategy—it's sales collateral. Pete is now working on a framework he calls Predictable Scale. It starts with true strategy: competitive research, customer research, defining vision and mission, and setting clear objectives. Only then do tactics come into play. Most agencies don't put these together in the right sequence and, as a result, get pushed in to executing tactics. For agencies, this is the key to breaking out of the execution box and earning a permanent seat at the table. AI as the New Strategic Edge These days, agencies can leverage AI to accelerate strategy and client service. It can be as simple as using AI to run a SWOT analysis, refine your brand voice, mission and vision, and then taking all the data and use it to create a custom GPT you can run to generate client-facing plans. One mastermind member, Chris Dwyer, took this to the extreme by building a board of AI advisors (finance, marketing, sales, and acquisitions) and saw incredible growth as a result. Pete's team has also dabbled in this use of AI and created a custom GPT called Pete GPT. They feed in customer interviews, surveys, and Pete's own writing so the tool can generate content in his voice. Beyond content, AI is speeding up product feedback loops. By connecting call transcripts, chat logs, and support tickets, his product team can instantly spot customer needs and prioritize features—a process that used to take weeks of interviews. Pete also has an AI agent that handles about 50% of his agency's conversations with prospects and clients, with a customer satisfaction score of 70% so far. For agencies, the message is clear: if you're not already embedding AI into your workflows, you're falling behind. Onboarding and Client Retention Still Matter Most Not everything should be automated, however, especially when it comes to onboarding. Onboarding can make or break a client relationship in the first 60 days. Too many agencies rely entirely on Zoom and automation, missing the opportunity to build true connection. “No one meets with clients in person anymore,” he said, and it's costing them. Some of the most successful agencies in Jason's mastermind make it a priority to visit new clients in person during the first quarter. That small gesture builds trust, creates deeper bonds, and makes it much harder for clients to churn later. With competition as fierce as it is, going the extra mile in onboarding may be the simplest competitive advantage agencies can claim. Selling Strategy as a Service Pete wrapped up the conversation by introducing Databox's new program for agencies: business intelligence as a service. Until now, most agencies used Databox to report on campaign performance. But Pete sees a bigger opportunity—helping agencies package BI consulting as a strategic service. Instead of being the vendor that just improves ad ROAS or runs SEO reports, agencies can step up as partners who improve an entire company's performance. That means quarterly reviews looking not just at marketing metrics, but at sales, ops, finance, and customer success data too. For agencies tired of being “order takers,” this is the chance to finally sell strategy over tactics—and get paid for it. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

(1) Monday Night Football Review: Execution, Bad Officiating, QB Comparison (2) Justin Fuente's New Role, CFB Week 3 Questions... What is Real or Not?

The guillotine claimed its last victim on 10th September, 1977, when murderer Hamida Djandoubi was executed in Marseille, his grim end marking the closing chapter of nearly two centuries of clinical beheading, stretching back to the French Revolution.  Overseen by France's last official executioner Marcel Chevalier, the event was private and hushed - a far cry from the raucous public spectacles that had once drawn huge crowds. Witness accounts described Djandoubi drinking rum, smoking his final cigarettes, and even stalling for time before being led to the blade. Adding to the eerie symbolism, he was made to fix his prosthetic leg before kneeling at the block.

In this episode, I'm talking about how to filter out what needs to be eliminated from your calendar. Time is your most valuable resource, yet many people treat it like it's unlimited. As a professional, every minute should be moving you forward making money, serving people, or improving your position. The goal isn't to add more to your plate but to remove the stuff that's wasting your time. I'll show you how to cut out the clutter so your calendar only holds what truly matters.

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate and Its Challenges After Charles I's execution, John Lambert drafted the "Instruments of Government," establishing Oliver Cromwellas Lord Protector. Despite widespread horror in Europe, Cromwell's rule brought stability to England, though it involved moving away from radical democrats and imposing Puritan values, making it unpopular. He refused the crown in 1657, believing God had spoken against monarchy. 1649

Being “nice” is not the goal and if you're just trying to be nice, you're lying. You're putting on a fake version of yourself to make people like you. I've said it many times: being important matters way more than being nice. This is a results game, not a nice person contest. Get important first then you can choose to be nice if you want. Show Notes:  [01:40]#1 Being “nice” is a costume.  [09:36]#2 Nice people rather be comfortable than to get to what's real.  [18:26]#3 Nice people cannot be trusted as leaders in any type of relationship.

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with former NYPD/NYFD execution strategist, Neil Schoepp. Neil and I discuss what's keeping you stuck and hesitating. More importantly, Neil explains the WHY? behind you not being where you want to be, and offers a roadmap on how to get there. Sit back and give this episode a listen and come way a better version of you for doing so.Neil Schoepp spent 24 years in the firehouse and on the streets of NYC, where hesitation got people killed. Now he helps men kill hesitation before it kills their momentum. He turns over thinkers into Freedom Thinkers—men who execute, lead, and refuse to live life on autopilot. His FIREGROUND FRAMEWORK is forged from real chaos, and his 112M Freedom Thinkers mission is built to wake men up, get them moving, and put them back in command of their future.www.neilschoepp.com@Neil Schoeppinfo@neilschoepp.comThank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

You don't have depression. Just like I said yesterday about ADHD, a lot of people use this label as an excuse for not doing what they need to do. The drug and therapy industries push this so you'll keep needing them. That's how they make money. Today, I'm breaking down why most of what you've heard about depression is not true and why you have more control than you think.  Show Notes:  [03:20]#1 You are much more disconnected than you are depressed.  [09:14]#2 Your brain's turning inward, you're thinking everything's bad.  [17:51]#3 Emotional pain is not a permanent identity.  [21:08]Recap Next Steps:

I don't believe you have ADHD. A lot of us got that label as kids because a teacher or counselor said we couldn't focus like the other students. The truth is, this whole ADHD thing was created by the system and drug companies to give schools and parents an excuse. They just wanted us to sit still, be quiet, and follow boring lessons from people who never actually did what they teach. In this episode, I'm breaking down why you don't have ADHD and why it's time to stop using it as an excuse. Show Notes:  [03:02]#1 You have no structure and thus no discipline.  [07:49]#2 Most of us are wired for consistent stimulation rather than we are wired for completion, discipline or focus.  [15:15]#3 ADHD is an offloading of accountability and responsibility.  [19:21]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1193: Focus: The Force Multiplier Next Steps:

 In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Pragya sits down with Clance Laylor—Master Strength Coach, founder of LPS Athletic, creator of the Athlete Activation System, and driving force behind the Raise the Bar Foundation. Known as "The Pro Maker," Clance has spent over three decades transforming young athletes into champions across the NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS, CFL, and Olympic level.From the science of strength training to the unshakable discipline required to excel, Clance shares what truly separates the great from the good—both in sports and life. He opens up about overcoming a career-ending injury, why real coaching beats online gimmicks, how mindset can be built, and why durability matters as much as speed or power. This is a no-nonsense conversation on what it takes to win at the highest levels without losing sight of personal growth and character. About the Guest:Clance Laylor is one of only a handful of Master Strength Coaches in the world. Founder of LPS Athletic in Toronto, he has worked with top-tier athletes across professional leagues and the Olympics. He created the Athlete Activation System, a structured, measurable performance framework, and launched the Raise the Bar Foundation to support driven athletes who lack financial resources. His philosophy blends science, culture, and mentorship to develop champions in sport and in life. Key Takeaways : Discipline + Consistency = Champion: True success comes from disciplined, daily micro-progressions, not occasional big efforts. Mindset Can Be Built: Surround yourself with the right culture, habits, and mentors to develop resilience and a “can't stop, won't stop” attitude. Beware Fitness Shortcuts: Real progress requires skilled coaching, not viral trends or copy-paste programs. Execution and adaptability matter. Durability is Power: Strength is the foundation of all athletic qualities, but injury prevention is equally critical for long-term performance. Turn Setbacks into Service: Clance's career-ending injury led him to build a legacy through coaching and mentorship. Focus on Your Craft: Avoid distractions and master what you're best at—excellence attracts opportunities. Measure Everything: If you don't track your performance, you can't prove you're improving. Bigger Picture of Success: Part-time effort produces part-time results. Commitment, sacrifice, and patience build lasting achievements. Stay Grounded During Delays: Reflect on your progress, minimize social media distractions, and focus on doing everything in your power.

Most people never build a real presence that feeling you give off that makes people notice and respect you without you even trying. I'm not talking about just being in a place, I mean having a vibe and confidence that people can feel anywhere, even if you're just at the grocery store. Presence is self-assurance and the way you carry yourself. In this episode, I talk about why most people never develop it and what's stopping them. Show Notes:  [02:56]#1 Most people chase attention more than they anchor energy. [11:43]#2 Movement and noise addiction [23:44]#3 Most people don't know who they are.  [29:12]Recap Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm talking about the power of showing up first. You've heard me say it before — early is on time, on time is late, and late is forgotten. Being first isn't just about arriving early, it's about being the one who moves, starts, or leads while everyone else is waiting. Whether it's getting up before the world, starting a conversation, or taking action when others hesitate — going first sets you apart. Today, I'll break down why it matters and how to make it part of who you are. Show Notes:  [01:53]#1 When you show up first, you are sending a message to others and you're sending a message to yourself. [10:33]#2 Waiting makes you reactive, whereas showing up gives you power.  [15:06]#3  Showing up first is an identity.  [19:17]Recap Next Steps:

What does it really mean to build in stealth—and when does it help or hurt? In this episode, Amir sits down with Yoni Michael, co-founder of Typedef, an AI infrastructure startup that recently came out of stealth. Yoni shares why his team chose to stay under the radar early on, how they balanced secrecy with customer discovery, and the lessons they learned about finding product-market fit in a noisy AI landscape. If you're a founder or tech leader navigating early-stage strategy, this conversation offers practical insights you can apply right away.Key Takeaways• Stealth mode isn't all or nothing—there's a spectrum between total secrecy and open visibility• Execution and speed of iteration matter more than protecting “the idea”• Customer discovery should start before you even write code• Messaging is never final—test, refine, and keep adjusting as you learn from design partners• Investors expect shifts at the seed stage, but keeping them in the loop builds trustTimestamped Highlights00:38 — Why Typedef chose to launch in stealth and what they're building in AI infrastructure04:31 — The double-edged sword of operating in a crowded AI market09:22 — How Yoni approaches customer discovery without giving away too much13:55 — Shaping messaging and narrative before coming out of stealth19:49 — Managing investor expectations when your product vision evolves25:21 — How to connect with Yoni for advice and community in AI infraA line that stuck with us“Your competitive edge isn't the idea—it's the ability to execute and course correct fast enough to hit your runway.”Resources mentioned• Typedef: typedef.ai• FENEC open-source framework: [GitHub link from Typedef site]• Yoni Michael on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/yonimichaelPro TipsYoni advises founders to test messaging as early as possible—whether through decks, demo sandboxes, or LinkedIn posts.

Welcome to the final instalment in our three-part series on becoming a f*cking badass. In part one, we defined her. In part two, we uncovered what blocks her. And now in part three, we build her. But let me tell you something straight up: you don't become a badass by doing more. You become her by learning to hold more. In this EP, I share the three core capacities you must train if you want to become a woman who can lead, lift, and live a powerful AF life: the ability to hold tension the ability to hold energy the ability to hold power This is the anatomy of a badass. I walk you through exactly how I train these traits inside Warrior School so you can build the body, the mind, and the systems to hold the life you want. Because badassery isn't about doing more. It's about building the woman who can hold more. Let's go. KEY TAKEAWAYS: You don't become a badass by doing more. You become her by building the capacity to hold more. There are three core capacities to train: tension, energy, and power. Most women avoid tension because they don't have the energy to hold it. Execution > effort. The badass woman doesn't do more reps—she does the right ones, with intention and control. Being seen, taking responsibility, leading with power—these are all trainable. You just need the reps. Everything you want requires structure, systems, and support. You can't hold it alone. POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE: “You don't become a badass by doing more. You become her by learning how to hold more.” “Tension isn't the problem. Tension is what builds you.” “Most of you have mistaken exhaustion for effort. But burnout isn't a badge of honour.” “You want to feel powerful, but the moment you do, you panic. Because power means pressure.” “A badass woman doesn't waste time questioning herself. She takes the damn action.” THIS EPISODE IS FOR: Women who are tired of doing more and getting nowhere Anyone who wants to build the physical and mental capacity to hold a big, beautiful life Coaches, leaders and high-achieving women who crave structure and strategy that actually works ✨ NEXT STEPS

Mental toughness isn't just a skill you practice—it's who you are. Skills are important, but they're about what you do. Mental toughness is about your identity, your way of being. It's your willingness to keep showing up, doing the work, and putting yourself out there, even when success hasn't shown up yet. Today I'm breaking down why mental toughness is in your DNA, not just in your to-do list. Show Notes:  [01:20]#1 Skills are what you do.  [09:17]#2 Being mentally tough is not something that you practice. [14:55]#3 Do not outsource your toughness to motivation.  [19:10]Recap Next Steps:

This is part four, the final part of my series on killing passive aggression. Today I'm breaking down three more bad habits you need to kill. First, stop being the messenger for someone else's words—let them speak for themselves. Second, don't get others to fight your battles, and don't fight theirs. Third, if you think something might bother someone, talk to them first—or just own what you did and deal with it. At Work On Your Game University, we turn discipline into dominance so you can win in mindset, structure, strategy, and execution. Show Notes:  [00:35]#10 Telling you what someone else said about you instead of owning it.  [05:06]#11 Never get someone else to confront on your behalf.  [13:10]#12 I didn't know it would bother you.

I think this is one of the saddest and cruellest episodes we have ever done... In 1939, 23-year-old Joe Arridy was executed in Colorado for a crime many believe he didn't commit. With the mental capacity of a child, Joe was an easy target for investigators eager to close a brutal case. But how much of his so-called confession was his own—and how much was fed to him? In this episode, we explore Joe's short life, the controversial trial that sealed his fate, and the lingering questions that still cast a shadow over his execution.

When the Salem witch trials reached their peak of hysteria in 1692, 81-year-old Giles Corey became the only person in American history to receive a court-ordered execution by crushing, defiantly gasping "more weight" as stones were piled on his chest over two agonizing days. His gruesome death, carried out in a public pit where neighbors could watch, helped turn the tide against the witch trials as witnesses realized no true servant of Satan would endure such torture with such stubborn defiance.==========HOUR ONE: Like many desolate places, the Arctic has its share of ghost stories and haunted legends floating around the frigid, wild areas of its domain. It might be the frights rather than the cold that gives you goosebumps. (Ghostly Shivers of the Arctic Circle) *** You never know what might be lurking just out of sight – in the shadows, behind a door. I'll share a few true stories that might make you double-check the locks at night and check the closet before going to bed. (Never Trust The Dark) *** When you think of the Salem Witch Trials, you typically think of women being burned at the stake, innocently accused of witchcraft. There are two incorrect assumption about that mental picture. First, most of the accused were hung, and none have been truly verified to be burned alive. And second, sorcery and Satan worship were not seen to be bound by gender, and so either a man, woman, boy, or girl could be a witch. And one of those unfortunate men was Giles Corey – but his punishment went beyond the norm, and into the gruesome. (The Most Dreadful Execution of The Salem Witch Trials)==========HOUR TWO: “The devil made me do it.” It's an excuse that has been used so often by so many that it has lost its meaning, and its effectiveness. So only a fool or a madman would commit a horrible act and then try to blame it on the devil or a demon… unless, of course, that person truly believes that is exactly what happened to them. (A Demon Made Me Do It) *** The little Norwegian village of Bærum Verk still stands as an old foundry settlement, and is an active place, both as a place to work, and as a place to live – and as a place to keep living even after you're dead. (The Most Haunted Village in Norway) *** There are more than a few stories from upright citizens around the world who claim to have seen tiny humans. I'm not talking about the diminutive human beings we used to classify as dwarves or midgets until we became more enlightened. I'm talking about short, maybe two-foot tall, perfectly proportioned people.

This is part three of my four-part series on killing passive aggression. Today I'm talking about three specific tactics: withholding enthusiasm, praising someone's competition, and pouting or sulking. These are sneaky ways people avoid saying what's really on their mind. Women often use these methods naturally, but when men start doing them, it's a bigger problem—because as a man, you should be direct and speak up instead of waiting to be prompted. The best way to deal with this behavior? Call it out straight up. Show Notes:  [00:32]#7 Withholding of enthusiasm. [05:54]#8 Praising someone's competition.  [13:43]#9 Instead of sharing that there is an issue, pouting and sulking. [35:45]Recap Next Steps:

This is part two of my four-part series on killing your passive aggression. Today I'm talking about three behaviors you need to stop. First, vague language stops hiding behind unclear words and just says where you stand. Second, convenient memory loss deals with issues early instead of pretending you forgot until it blows up. Third, saying yes with your mouth but no with your actions if you're out of a commitment, say so instead of ghosting on it. Show Notes:  [00:44]#4 Stop using vague language.  [06:29]#5 Convenient memory loss. [10:08]#6 Saying yes in your words, but saying no in your actions.  [18:10]Recap Next Steps:

In this episode, I'm starting a four-part series on killing passive aggressiveness for good, especially in men. Passive aggression is when someone avoids saying things directly, like showing up late on purpose, staying quiet when they should speak, or making a point by doing nothing. I expect that from women sometimes, but when men do it, it makes us weak, soft, and more feminine. I want men to be direct and clear, even if the truth is uncomfortable. If a few guys can change this habit, we can start changing the whole culture. Show Notes:  [06:21]#1 Stop procrastinating on a NO. [13:10]#2 Stop saying you're okay when you're not all right. [21:12]#3 Feigning a lack of understanding to avoid responsibility.
