Podcasts about founders

Selling your company can look like "the big win." The check clears. The headlines sound nice. Maybe someone even posts a tasteful LinkedIn announcement with way too many gratitude emojis. Then comes the hard part: contracts, systems, data, cyber risk, SOPs, people, processes, and the tiny little question that can wreck a deal: Can this business actually run without you? In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project Podcast, Matt sits down with Mark Sims, Managing Principal of Technology Solutions at ConsultMSG, to talk about what business owners need to fix before private equity shows up with a checkbook. Yes, they talk about what happens after a private equity deal closes. New boss. New board. New systems. New rules. Weird vibes in the Monday meeting. But the bigger warning is this: if your business is held together by handshake deals, tribal knowledge, messy data, and "Judy knows where that file is," you may not get the valuation, speed, or smooth transition you were hoping for. Mark breaks down how technology, clean data, documented processes, AI, cybersecurity, and basic operational discipline can protect company value before a sale…or quietly drain it when buyers start looking under the hood.

Rest to Return, a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: What is my sacred purpose? You can find more info about Tzedek Lab here. Settled back into his room, my dad was a bit frail…but he could still kiss us and us that he loved us! The list of 39 melachot can be found here. Olam haBah is often translated as “the world to come” and is used in reference to the afterlife. In this context, I'm using it to describe “the world as it could be” which includes dignity, equity, and liberation. The idea that each person is a letter in the Torah is rooted in Megaleh Amukot (Va'etchanan 186:1). I learned about the concept of “ratzon” from my teacher, colleague, and friend David Jaffe, Founder and Executive Director of Kirva. Rabbi Tarfon's quote comes from Pirkei Avot 2:16. One source for Rabbi Simcha Bunim's teaching is Tales of The Hasidim Later Masters by Martin Buber. The Mary Oliver line comes from her poem, entitled “The Summer Day”. This quote has been misattributed to Courtney Carver. It is instead referenced by Carver in her book, Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less and Live the Life You Actually You Want. The quotation itself comes from Psychologist Nicola Jane Hobbs who teaches, “Instead of asking, 'Have I worked hard enough to deserve rest?' ask, 'Have I rested enough to do my most loving, meaningful work?'"” The practice in this episode was inspired by a practice that I learned from Rabbi David Jaffe, Founder of Kirva, and it is one that I've enjoyed practicing with each Cohort of “Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out” that I have the privilege of co-facilitating for People of Colour, alongside Yehudah Webster. The next cohort begins in Fall 2026 and you can find more info here. This episode is brought to you by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Rest to Return exists because we believe slowing down is a spiritual act. IJS believes that too. For over two decades, IJS has been helping people go deeper, through Jewish mindfulness meditation, contemplative prayer, sacred text study, and embodied practice. Their offerings range from online courses and silent retreats to immersive cohort programs for seekers of all experience levels, clergy, and spiritual leaders who are ready to live and lead from a more grounded place. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is part of IJS's core faculty, and the wisdom you'll hear in this series is very much in that spirit. If this podcast is stirring something in you, IJS is a place to go further.

This episode is part ten in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism. In this episode, we are going to examine brands and their values: their true values and then their marketing values (yes, most big companies have both and you might be surprised by the lack of overlap between those two sets of values).  And specifically, we are going to use Everlane as a conduit for this discussion.  We will go all the way back to Everlane's origin to identify what the brand's values were from the beginning.We will get some additional context around SHEIN's purchase of Everlane.We will learn just how much private equity is controlling fashion at this point.Amanda will debunk that myth that Everlane's sale marks the “end” of sustainability in fashion.And we will explore how "Stickergate" involved emotional branding.Listen to Amanda on Creativity In The Time of Capitalism.

What happens when a simple idea to connect with other moms becomes a national brand, secures major retail partnerships, and launches a new mission to help women entrepreneurs grow smarter? In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Lindsay Pinchuk, Founder and CEO of Lindsay Pinchuk Marketing + Consulting. She shares how she turned a $500 investment into a seven-figure brand, partnered with major companies such as Target, Nordstrom, Huggies, and Unilever, and ultimately navigated the challenges of selling her company. She also discusses the power of partnerships, staying authentic while scaling, and how she now helps women small business owners build meaningful, sustainable businesses. Key Takeaways:→ Strategic local partnerships with retailers, experts, and community leaders can help companies quickly build trust.→ Maintaining trust with your audience means saying no to products, brands, and partnerships that don't align with your values. → How to turn brand interest into formal sponsorship through national partnerships with major brands. → Finding brand ambassadors in new cities lets you scale your business while keeping your brand personal and community-driven. → Simple marketing fundamentals still work for small businesses. Lindsay Pinchuk is an award-winning entrepreneur and one of fewer than 1% of female founders to lead her company through an acquisition. After nearly 25 years in marketing and sales, she left corporate America to found Bump Club and Beyond, bootstrapping it from $0 to seven figures for six consecutive years, turning a profit in year one, and building partnerships with brands like Target, Nordstrom, Huggies, ULTA, and more. She grew the community to 3M+ monthly users and led the company's acquisition in under a decade. Today, Lindsay supports women business owners (especially 40+) through Dear FoundHer…, a podcast-turned-movement with a Substack, community, mentorship, and events. She consults, teaches, and speaks on simple, cost-effective marketing using her SWEEP framework.

What if the exercises that look the strangest are the ones that can help your body move, react, and perform better in real life?  In this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, Steven Sashen speaks with Sam Davis, Founder of Neurologic Fitness Training Systems, who shares his unconventional approach to training, including long-duration isometrics, depth drops, plyometric-style impact work, and exercises designed to help the brain and body feel safer under stress. Together, they explore why unusual-looking movements may build stronger tendons, enhance force absorption, improve confidence, and foster more resilient movement patterns for athletes and everyday people alike. Key Takeaways: → Long-duration isometrics can challenge the body and brain in powerful ways. → The ISO extreme lunge trains strength, mobility, focus, and tolerance. → Landing hard after controlled drops can help prepare the body for real-world impact. → Athletes need to train for the forces they encounter in their sport. → Foot feedback plays a major role in balance, movement, and safety. Sam Davis is the founder of Neurologic Fitness Training Systems and a Jacksonville Beach–based strength coach and personal trainer specializing in neurologic performance training and pain relief. With a master's degree in Exercise Science from Middle Tennessee State University and more than 10 years of coaching experience, Sam has worked in collegiate, professional, and private settings, including with MTSU, Lipscomb University, and the Jacksonville Jaguars' strength and conditioning staff. Sam helps athletes and active adults bridge the gap from pain relief to peak performance. He specializes in advanced neurologic training methods, including The SQUARE 1 System, Z-Health, and Reflexive Performance Reset, to help clients address nervous system dysfunction, improve movement quality, reduce chronic pain, and return to high performance.

What if the problem is not that online leads do not work, but that most advisors are targeting the wrong people with the wrong message?   In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene interviews Allan Khazak, Founder & CEO of Vroom Media Group, who explains how his company helps insurance agents, RIAs, regional firms, and IMOs attract better prospects through targeted online advertising, client avatars, landing pages, surveys, nurture campaigns, and sales training. He also discusses why dinner seminars and radio shows are less effective than they used to be, how compliance affects advisor marketing, and why patience, follow-up, and continual improvement are essential to converting online leads.   Key Takeaways: → Online ads perform best when advisors target a specific client avatar. → Campaigns focused on tax issues, Roth conversions, or TSPs can attract more qualified prospects. → Lead quality improves when prospects are filtered by age, assets, and fit before they reach the advisor. → A strong landing page and survey process help train the ad algorithm to identify better prospects. → Advisors who treat every failed conversation as feedback can improve conversion rates over time. Allan Khazak is a Canadian entrepreneur, digital marketing expert, and founder and CEO of Vroom Media Group, a results-driven agency that helps life insurance brokers, financial advisors, and annuity agents generate qualified prospects and convert them into clients. Raised in Canada by an immigrant family, Allan developed a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial mindset early in life. He studied at the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto before beginning his career in public accounting. In 2019, Allan founded Vroom Media Group to help solve one of the insurance industry's biggest challenges: consistent lead generation and conversion. Under his leadership, the agency has built a niche using data-driven strategies, online advertising, and proprietary systems to help advisors book qualified appointments and grow annuity production.   Connect With Allan: Website: https://www.vroommediagroup.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vroommediagroup/ X: https://x.com/GroupVroom Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VRMMediaGroupLeadGen Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the biggest thing holding your church back... isn't your strategy, your budget, or your attendance?What if it's a leadership blind spot you don't even realize you have?In Episode 218 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, I sat down with Clinton for an honest conversation about some of the most common leadership mistakes I see pastors make—and, more importantly, how to avoid them before they become costly.We talk about everything from toxic team members and leadership development to personal health, coaching, and the tension between spiritual leadership and practical execution.Here's some of what we unpack:Why taking care of yourself isn't a balance issue—it's an obedience issueThe leadership mistake I see over and over again when it comes to building teamsHow to recognize toxicity early before it causes unnecessary damageWhy pastors often keep the wrong people in the wrong roles for too longThe danger of leading from fear instead of convictionWhy so many pastors wait until they're desperate before asking for helpHow apprenticing leaders creates long-term multiplication and healthy growthThe importance of training people so well they could leave—but treating them so well they don'tWhy Spirit and strategy aren't competing ideas—they belong togetherOne line from this conversation has stuck with me ever since we recorded it:"You can't lead with authority if you're addicted to approval."We also talk about coaching, lifelong learning, and why the Church should be setting the standard for leadership development instead of trying to catch up with everyone else.If you're leading a church, building a team, or simply trying to become a healthier leader, I think this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

In New York, pizza is not just food - it's part of the city's DNA. And that story runs deep in Brooklyn where working class immigrant neighborhoods helped shape the pizza we know today. Grimaldi's, sitting in the shadows of the Brooklyn Bridge, serves authentic, coal-fired brick oven pizza, sought out by tourists, locals and celebs like Ilir Sela, the founder and CEO of Slice.  As an Albanian raised in Staten Island, pizza was Ilir's destiny.

There's a version of success that looks great on a highlight reel and completely hollows you out from the inside. I've seen it. I've felt it. And in this episode, I sat down with a man who lived it hard, nearly paid for it with his life, and came out the other side with a completely different playbook. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I get to rock the mic with Cameron Herold, one of the most legendary operators in the entrepreneurial world. Cameron is the founder of the COO Alliance and the man known globally as the CEO Whisperer. He's the former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, where he helped engineer the company's growth from 2 million dollars to 106 million dollars in revenue in just six years. He's a six-time bestselling author, an international speaker, and a guy who's been to 80 countries across all seven continents with his wife, living out their bucket list in real time. Cameron is the real deal, and this conversation goes deep. If you're a CEO, founder, or entrepreneur who's ever felt like you're the bottleneck in your own business, this episode is for you. If you've been grinding yourself into the ground and wondering why the life you're building doesn't feel as good as it looks from the outside, this one's for you too. Cameron doesn't sugarcoat a thing. He shares his burnout story with raw honesty, walks through the systems that have helped hundreds of companies scale with soul, and drops frameworks that you can use right now to grow your people, protect your time, and build a company that actually supports the life you want. One of the biggest things Cameron and I dig into is the COO relationship and why getting it wrong can absolutely derail your company. He breaks it down like a marriage. You have to understand yourself first, know what you're great at, know what drains you, and then find someone who fills in the gaps without trying to compete with your strengths. The COO is meant to be the brakes to your gas, not the parking brake. They're the leash on the dragon, not the choke chain. And finding that person starts with clarity about who you are and what you're actually building. That leads directly into Cameron's concept called the Vivid Vision, and this one is a game changer. Most entrepreneurs think they have a vision. Cameron would tell you most of them have a sentence, not a vision. A true Vivid Vision is a four or five page document that describes every area of your company, your culture, your team, your sales, your operations, as if it's already come true three years from now. It's not about the how. It's about painting the picture so clearly that your entire leadership team can reverse engineer the path to get there. Think of it like building a home. You know what you want it to look like. You describe it in enough detail. The right people build it for you. Cameron also goes hard on why most companies are starving their people of real leadership training, and what that actually costs you. Not conference trips. Not SOPs. Real skills. Interviewing, hiring, running meetings, managing conflict, coaching your team, goal setting. These are the core executive skills that almost nobody ever gets formally trained in, and it's why so many smart people in business are struggling with things that should be simple. As Cameron puts it, business is really easy if you have the core skills to get results through people. If you don't, it's a grind that never ends. And then there's the stuff that got personal. Cameron was 35 years old when his body and mind were clinically redlining. He was drinking daily, smoking, carrying extra weight, buried under a crushing amount of life stress, and he had no idea how bad it was until a doctor put a number on it. He scored 435 points on a stress assessment where 250 meant a 95 percent chance of a heart attack. He was written up in the Wall Street Journal as one of four entrepreneurs whose careers flamed out from burnout. He walked out the other side of that with a hard reset, no alcohol for three years now, daily weigh-ins, consistent movement, and a bucket list lifestyle that he and his wife have been living for five years straight. The lesson? The lie of just catching up this weekend is not about catching up. It's about avoiding your life. If you're ready to build a real second in command, stop running terrible meetings, train your people like you mean it, and finally step into the freedom you actually started this thing for, go listen to the full episode right now at https://caryjack.com/podcastin/. What does Happy Hustlin' mean to you? Laughing and having a good time and sharing information, not taking ourselves so seriously.

Healthcare costs continue to rise, employees have fewer choices than ever, and many employers are stuck navigating a system that feels increasingly unsustainable.In this episode of Liftoff, Keith Newman sits down with Brandy Thompson, Founder & CEO of BenefitBay, to discuss the future of healthcare benefits, employee choice, leadership, entrepreneurship, and building a fast-growing company in one of the most complex industries in America.Brandy shares why she believes employees should have greater control over their healthcare decisions, how transparency can improve outcomes, and why the future of benefits may look very different than today's one-size-fits-all model.The conversation also explores founder lessons, leadership, raising six children while building a career, and what it takes to lead through growth and change.About Brandy Thompson:Brandy Thompson is the Founder & CEO of BenefitBay, a Kansas City-based company helping employers modernize healthcare benefits through Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs).

Success in the Christian life is not measured by relentless output, but by deep enjoyment and awe of God. The high-performer's journey is to move from striving to abiding, from anxious self-optimization to restful delight. This week, Stephanie challenges us to reconsider our definition of success: Will we dare to let our delight in God, and His delight in us, become our most treasured spiritual possession?Many Christians find themselves exhausted, seeking spirituality through constant effort rather than true joy. In our current series, Awaken Delight, we explore different ways that prevent us from living the reality of Psalm 37:4, Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.This week, we explore the dangers of "high-performance Christianity" and discover the invitation to redefine success by delighting in God rather than striving to impress Him.Our FREE gift to you today! An exclusive 30-day FREE recovery plan to rekindle your delight in God when you are feeling weary and exhausted in your faith: go to https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightthepodcast and find the form for Episode 448. Give us your email, and you will receive the full plan in your inbox immediately!Let's be completely honest. Are you…Exhausted by trying to “feel” spiritual?Performing faith without real joy?Feeling unworthy despite consistent effort?Wondering if Psalm 37:4 really works?What if the problem isn't your faith, but the way you've been pursuing God? Delight isn't about effort; it's about learning how to receive God as your deepest joy.This isn't extra joy on Sundays. It's the foundation for deep delight in God which willstrengthen your prayer lifeprovide you with resilient peace,reframe your pain and suffering,transform your obedience into soul-satisfying joy.Many Christians become experts in prayer, service, and discipline but forget the joy of simple communion with God. This mindset measures spiritual health in terms of effort and accomplishment: “Did I pray enough? Did I do enough?”The Dangers:Spiritual Output over Relationship: Faith becomes a checklist of activities rather than a relationship rooted in love and delight.Performance Equals Worth: Feelings of worth rise and fall based on spiritual “productivity.” Rest becomes guilt-ridden and Sabbath feels inefficient.Comparisons and Insecurity: The high-performer compares their visible fruit to others', believing that more impact equals more favor from God.This mindset leads to spiritual dryness. High performers feel relationally undernourished: “Effective for God, but not really deeply at rest in God”. Growth is sought in results, but true spiritual maturity often appears slow, cyclical, and hidden. When setbacks arise, self-worth plummets, and failures feel catastrophic.At its core, this approach makes delight in God seem like a luxury reserved for the less “serious." But Scripture repeatedly calls delight foundational, not optional. "Delight in the Lord" is central — it deepens trust, strengthens endurance, and transforms work into worship.How do we shift from performance to delight? We must reorder our ambitions with God at the center. As Stephanie explains, “Your problem isn't that you're too serious, it's that you're too serious through the lens of a secular operating system”. The calling isn't to do less, but to let delight in God be the fuel, not the reward, of our efforts.Practical Steps:Identity Rooted in God's Delight: Our worth is anchored in God's unshakeable love, not our achievements.Work Flows from Delight: We work, rest, and strive not to prove ourselves, but out of the security that comes from being loved by God.Resilient Obedience: Obedience is rooted in delight, not desperation; failure or success does not shake our identity.Delighting in God is not just an emotion—it is a chosen, steady confidence that allows us to pursue excellence without fear. When rooted in God's love, ambition becomes resilient, setbacks less threatening, and rest becomes restorative. As Stephanie encourages, “Taste and see that the Lord is good”. This call is an invitation into a secure, unshakeable identity and delight —the true measure of success."Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight — not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Delight in God isn't a mood to manufacture; it's a relationship to receive.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.Delighting in God isn't sentimental optimism. It's deeply rooted in Christ, Jesus.It's the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own heart.Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JKind words from Jennifer Rothschild, Bible teacher, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Founder, Fresh Grounded Faith:“Stephanie helps us awaken to and experience true delight.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brendan Kaminsky. Founder of B Known Agency, a boutique branding and digital marketing firm specializing in sports and entertainment. Kaminsky shares his journey from consulting, to working at ESPN, to eventually launching his own agency. He discusses helping major personalities like Stephen A. Smith, Jalen Rose, Harrison Barnes, and Rich Eisen develop strong social media identities and storytelling strategies. Brendan explains why he left ESPN after six and a half years—despite the security, prestige, and Disney benefits—to pursue entrepreneurship. He describes how brand building has shifted from traditional media to a landscape where relatability, vertical video, audience engagement, and consistent content matter more than follower counts. He also talks about the pressure of managing public-facing work in real time, the importance of being accessible to high‑profile clients, the rising role of AI in content creation, and how social platforms have become core to modern marketing strategies. Additionally, Brendan shares specific examples of working with Jalen Rose on mixing sports commentary with community-focused storytelling and describes how Rich Eisen’s annual “Run Rich Run” 40‑yard dash evolved into a signature charitable brand moment. The interview closes with insights on relationship-building, authenticity, and visibility—reinforcing that in the digital era, it’s not just “who you know,” but who knows you. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To highlight Brendan Kaminsky’s entrepreneurial journey McDonald explores how Kaminsky transitioned from a major corporation (ESPN) to founding a successful agency. 2. To educate listeners on the evolving world of branding and digital media Kaminsky explains how branding now depends on relatability, vertical video, and engagement over follower count. 3. To provide actionable guidance for entrepreneurs and creators The interview teaches how consistency, accessibility, and storytelling help build a recognizable digital brand. 4. To show how athletes and media personalities use content to expand influence Brendan walks through real client strategies—from Jalen Rose’s community work to Rich Eisen’s fundraising dash. 5. To explore the role of AI in modern marketing Kaminsky discusses how AI assists with analytics, research, and identifying viral content moments. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Relatability drives modern branding People connect with authenticity, not polished promotion. Talk to your audience, not at them. 2. Engagement matters more than follower count Algorithms reward content that resonates, regardless of how many people follow you. A creator with 10,000 followers can hit a million views. 3. Social media requires presence and accessibility High-profile clients expect responsiveness; being available is key to agency success. 4. Vertical video is the new standard Optimizing content for mobile consumption is essential—TV graphics no longer dictate how content is built. 5. AI is an asset, not a threat Kaminsky uses AI for virality scoring, caption suggestions, research, and identifying strong clips from long-form content. 6. Data tells the story Success can be clearly measured through views, engagement, and growth—unlike billboards or traditional media. 7. Use “hot topics” to highlight deeper work For clients like Jalen Rose, trending sports conversations help drive attention to community-focused initiatives like his leadership academy. 8. Brand moments can start from something small Rich Eisen’s 40-yard dash evolved into a signature charity event and content anchor. 9. Entrepreneurship requires trusting your gut He left ESPN without telling anyone beforehand to avoid discouragement—because he felt the pull to build his own vision. 10. Visibility creates opportunity In the digital era, it’s not just who you know—it’s who knows you. NOTABLE QUOTES On entrepreneurship “I trusted my gut… I didn’t tell one person I was leaving ESPN because I didn’t want anyone to make me doubt myself.” On branding “People want to relate to you. They want to get to know you.” “Talk directly to your audience.” On social metrics “It’s become a lot more about engagement and views than total follower number.” On accessibility “You could be the best at your job, but if a client can’t reach you, it doesn’t matter.” On visibility “It’s not about who you know—it’s about who knows you.” On AI “AI is absolutely an asset… it helps us with research, analytics, even virality scoring.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the last three years, organizations across Europe have been preparing for the biggest shift in pay transparency and pay equity regulation in a generation. The EU Pay Transparency Directive promised to reshape how employers think about compensation — from pay structures and job architecture to reporting obligations and how employees access pay information.  Now, the transposition deadline has arrived. And the picture is... complicated.  Some countries met the deadline. Many didn't. What's emerged is a patchwork of requirements across member states — some with finalized legislation, others still working through it. Employers are left interpreting new guidance, confronting practical challenges around job evaluation, data governance, and pay reporting, and figuring out how to communicate all of this to their workforce.  So what should employers actually be doing right now?   We've brought together an expert panel today to cut through the noise. In this episode of Comp and Coffee, Ruth Thomas is joined by pay transparency experts Vicky Peakman, Founder of Fair Pay Partners, David Lorimer – Partner, Lewis Silkin, and Tom Heys, Pay Reporting Lead at Lewis Silkin.   Resources: Pay transparency tracker: https://www.payscale.com/featured-content/pay-transparency-legislation   EU pay transparency directive FAQ's: https://www.payscale.com/compensation-trends/eu-pay-transparency-directive-faqs

In this episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter Crosby sits down with Matt Haney, fractional COO and integrator, to talk about accountability, visionary entrepreneurs, and what really keeps businesses from scaling. Matt works with founders who have built strong companies but have reached the point where they need help turning vision into execution. The conversation digs into the tension between visionaries and operators, why accountability often breaks down, and how leaders can create clearer expectations without slipping into micromanagement. Matt also explains why many business problems are really people problems—and why having a trusted right hand can help founders get out of seats they should no longer be sitting in. If you are a visionary leader trying to scale, this episode is worth your time.   Episode Highlights Why founders often struggle to move from doing to leading How accountability breaks down when expectations are unclear Why working sessions can become necessary when execution stalls The danger of visionaries staying one or two levels too deep in the business How sales leaders can work better with founder-led organizations Why trust between a visionary and sales leader is critical The role of a fractional COO as operator, advisor, and accountability partner Why third-party perspective can help resolve leadership tension How to identify when your business needs a trusted right hand   Key Themes & Takeaways Accountability starts with clear expectations. People cannot execute against vague direction. Leaders must define what success looks like. Visionaries often need help getting out of the way. Founders built the business by doing everything, but scaling requires them to release control in the right places. Execution problems are often people problems. Missed targets, stalled growth, and lack of follow-through usually connect back to communication, clarity, or accountability. Trust must be intentionally built. When founders bring in sales leaders or operators, information flow and role clarity are essential. A strong right hand creates leverage. The right operator helps translate vision into action, hold people accountable, and reduce chaos inside the business. Outside perspective can reduce friction. Sometimes a neutral third party helps leaders hear each other more clearly and move through tension faster.   Who Should Listen This episode is especially valuable for: Visionary entrepreneurs who feel stuck in the weeds Founders looking for a trusted right hand or integrator Sales leaders working inside founder-led businesses CEOs struggling with accountability across the team Service-based businesses trying to scale operations Leaders who know the company needs structure but are unsure where to start   Links & Resources Sinclair Ventures https://sinclairventures.com Matt Haney matt@sinclairventures.com Matt Haney on LinkedIn   Continue the Conversation If this episode made you think differently about accountability, leadership, or how to build a business that can scale without everything running through you, join the Sales Integrator Community.

Why do accountability systems fail even when roles and responsibilities seem clear? In this episode, we sit down with Robert Snyder, Founder and President of Innovation Elegance, LLC, to explore why most organizations unintentionally separate authority from accountability, creating confusion, project delays, and trust issues. Robert introduces his Five Verbs framework—draft, review, revise, approve, and distribute—and explains how it creates clearer ownership, stronger collaboration, and better decision-making. Together, we discuss why documentation is a leadership tool rather than administrative overhead, how teams can detect and address untrustworthiness earlier, and why discipline and empathy must work together to build high-performing cultures. We leave with a practical perspective on creating trust through clear expectations, transparent decisions, and systems that help people succeed together. Key Takeaways: Keep authority and accountability connected to strengthen trust and execution.Use simple, repeatable processes to create clarity across teams.Document decisions that matter and avoid relying on memory alone.Encourage healthy task conflict while preventing personality conflict.Build empathy through consistent habits, questions, and team rhythms.

Alexander Wennerberg is CEO & Founder at Hives.co where he is passionate about helping organizations tap into their teams' best ideas and turn them into real improvements. Mike Petrusky asks Alexander why he believes that innovation is most effective when it empowers those closest to workplace problems to propose and implement solutions, rather than relying solely on top-down initiatives. They explore how facility management and real estate teams should focus on making their "invisible" work more visible, so they are recognized as value drivers rather than cost centers. Alexander says that organizations should treat workplaces as ongoing experiments, valuing continuous feedback from those who use the space rather than just executives and AI should be used to organize and surface employee feedback, not replace the genuine human observations and experiences that drive workplace progress. Successful change management treats employees as active participants rather than passive recipients while it encourages engagement and trust, so Mike and Alexander offer the practical advice and the inspiration you need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

What if the reason social media feels pointless for your business has nothing to do with your content and everything to do with how you're using it?About This EpisodeMost early stage founders treat social media like a megaphone. They post, nobody responds, and they quietly give up. I've been there, and I'll be honest about it. I spent a year in speaking classes to get better on video, then avoided posting for another eight months. What finally broke the cycle was a simple commitment: one minute reel, every day, for 100 days.This is a candid, practical breakdown of what actually works for impact founders who are just getting started on social media. Not viral hooks or follower growth hacks, but the real stuff: finding a content rhythm that doesn't drain you, using a weekly brain dump to never run out of ideas, and understanding that the most valuable thing social media can do early on is start conversations, not broadcast messages.I also share the workflow I stumbled into, recording video, pulling the transcript, and using AI to draft LinkedIn posts that still sound like me.The piece most people skip entirely is engaging with others, and I'd argue this is actually the whole point. Commenting on posts, replying to people in your space, and showing up consistently in other people's conversations is how you build real connections and do customer learning at the same time.Think of it less like a bullhorn at a party and more like actually talking to the people there.Episode in a glance00:00 Why social media feels hard for impact founders and what actually helps01:30 The 100 day reel challenge that broke the barrier02:19 Social media as a conversation tool, not a megaphone04:44 How to find your voice and stop running out of ideas07:13 The weekly brain dump and the Storyworthy method08:19 Why engaging with others is the most important thing you can do10:53 How to use social media as a research and learning tool12:41 Stop treating social media like a party with a bullhorn14:00 How I can help you get started and find your footingTrying to get your social media off the ground or figure out what to test next in your business?

Craig Benner, Founder & CEO of Accretive, joins the AdTechGod Pod to discuss the future of Digital Out of Home (DOOH), measurement, attribution, media buying, and why brands are increasingly investing in high-impact advertising beyond traditional digital channels. Takeaways DOOH remains one of the most underinvested channels despite its massive reach. Measurement has historically been the biggest challenge for out-of-home advertising. Accretive helps connect physical-world exposure to digital outcomes. Better attribution drives greater confidence and media investment. Search often captures intent rather than creating it. Out-of-home excels at generating awareness and demand. Brands are shifting budgets from linear TV into measurable alternatives. Mobility data plays a key role in audience targeting and measurement. Media Mix Modeling is helping validate the value of DOOH. Retail media presents a major opportunity for out-of-home advertising. AI and standardization are accelerating industry adoption. Education remains critical for broader DOOH growth.

For the last 50 years, we've operated under a single dominant idea: the purpose of business is to maximize shareholder value. But what if this whole era of extraction and short-termism isn't the natural order at all? What if it's just a blip? Sarah Gillard, CEO of Blueprint for Better Business, has spent 25 years inside major corporations watching what happens when companies forget what they're actually for, and she makes the case that business has both the power and the obligation to change it.Episode Highlights: [00:02:42] Two very different business models: profit maximization vs. employee ownership, from inside the same industry [00:06:37] The ESG rollback in context: what the data actually shows about corporate commitments [00:09:03] The forces of gravity that act on companies as they scale, and why purpose needs structural defense [00:12:17] The 70% problem: why intangible assets dominate organizational value but get ignored [00:15:27] Rethinking the social contract: why government, business, and civil society can't afford separate swim lanes [00:27:07] AI as a force for good or fragility: the questions businesses aren't asking but should be [00:37:58] Blueprint for Better Business's two foundational ideas, and why neither is as radical as it soundsNotable Quotes: Eric Ressler [00:25:20]: "We need more in culture imagining what that future could and should be, instead of constantly only warning about what it's looking like it's going to be." Sarah Gillard [00:38:40]: "Historically we will see these last 50-odd years as an odd blip. How do we take the most powerful shaper of our societies and just go: just focus on the money? Just weird." Sarah Gillard [00:40:20]: "Good intentions are necessary, but not sufficient.

Most AI conversations focus on the technology. This one focuses on the people building it. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, I sit down with Tasso Roumeliotis, Founder & CEO of NUMA AI, for a candid conversation about leadership, change, AI adoption, customer experience and what dealership operators need to understand as artificial intelligence becomes part of daily operations. What fascinated me most wasn't the product. It was learning how an outsider to automotive earned trust inside one of the most operationally complex industries in the world and what dealership leaders can learn from that journey. We discuss: • Why most AI failures are actually adoption failures • The resistance employees feel when AI enters the workplace • How leaders should communicate AI change to their teams • Why understanding the people behind AI matters as much as understanding the technology • The future role of dealership leadership in an AI-driven world • How AI can improve visibility into customer experience and operational performance • Why empathy may become the most valuable human skill in automotive retail • What operators should be thinking about now to prepare for the next few years Whether you're a dealer principal, general manager, fixed ops leader, sales leader, service manager, BDC director, or simply curious about where automotive retail is headed, this episode offers practical insight into the leadership side of AI transformation. Because the future won't be determined by who buys the most AI. It will be determined by who leads people through change the best.

Mike Choi wanted to work at Apple for years. Then he got there and had the moment many ambitious builders eventually hit.Is this the thing I was sprinting toward?In this episode of The Tech Trek, Mike Choi, co founder at Koah, shares his path from Korea to the United States, mandatory military service, Apple, Twitter, and eventually building Koah, an AI monetization company helping AI app builders create sponsored experiences.The conversation is less about the glamour of startups and more about what founder work actually demands: making decisions without complete information, learning from Big Tech without copying it, and staying focused when AI moves faster than your team can absorb.Practical Takeaways• Big Tech can teach you strong operating patterns, but startups force you to build your own style.• Founder decisions rarely come with complete data. Moving creates the next data point.• In AI startups, speed can become a distraction if every new tool or feature changes the plan.• Clear vision helps teams make decisions without waiting on the founder.• Knowing when to share an idea matters as much as having the idea.Timestamped Highlights00:38, Mike explains Koah and why AI products need new monetization models.02:25, Mike shares how his father's Korean Air Force service brought him to the United States as a child.05:01, Mandatory military service, pausing college, and learning to code around strong engineers.07:29, The long term goal of working at Apple and the unexpected feeling after getting there.10:57, Why Mike chose to build from scratch instead of staying on the Big Tech path.14:05, What Big Tech did and did not prepare him for as a founder.17:03, The founder lesson of making decisions before the full picture is clear.19:35, Why AI startups move so fast and how shiny object syndrome drains energy, time, and attention.One Line That Stuck“Just make the decision, produce data points that way through actions, and make a better decision tomorrow.”Subscribe to The Tech Trek for more conversations on how modern technical teams are building, hiring, operating, and adapting around AI, data, platform, product, and engineering execution.
