Jessica Fain is a product leader at Webflow and former Chief of Staff to the CPO at Slack, where she worked alongside April Underwood and many past podcast guests including Stewart Butterfield, Annie Pearl, Tamar Yehoshua, and Noah Weiss. She's spent her career learning how executives actually make decisions—and why most people completely misunderstand the process.We discuss:1. Why great ideas often don't get buy-in2. Why executive calendars are “like strobe lights” and why the first 30 seconds of a meeting matter so much3. Why executives are usually optimizing for a global maximum while you are often optimizing locally4. The best question Jessica uses when a leader says something that seems wrong: “That's so interesting. What led you to believe that?”5. Why you should go in to learn, not to convince6. Why showing only one option is a mistake7. Why AI will make influence more important, not less—Brought to you by:Omni—AI analytics your customers can trustLovable—Build apps by simply chatting with AIVanta—Automate compliance, manage risk, and accelerate trust with AI—Episode transcript: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/the-art-of-influence-jessica-fain—Archive of all Lenny's Podcast transcripts: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/yxi4s2w998p1gvtpu4193/AMdNPR8AOw0lMklwtnC0TrQ?rlkey=j06x0nipoti519e0xgm23zsn9&st=ahz0fj11&dl=0—Where to find Jessica Fain:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-fain-79b8989—Where to find Lenny:• Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com• X: https://twitter.com/lennysan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/—In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Introduction to Jessica Fain(03:53) Why influence is the highest-leverage skill in product(04:47) Why great ideas fail without executive buy-in(06:00) How executives actually think(09:05) The fundamentals: context-setting, communication, and empathy(10:22) Stop pitching for approval—start co-creating with execs(12:59) Influence vs. politics (and why people get it wrong)(15:44) How to disagree with execs without losing trust(17:20) Going in to learn, not to convince(19:08) How to present ideas(26:05) The Minto-style approach and tailoring your communication to each exec(28:22) Why Jessica doesn't like the question “What's top of mind for you?”(30:24) Understanding incentives to unlock buy-in(32:10) Aligning product work with company strategy(35:10) Quick summary(37:31) Disarming the executive(40:49) Speed matters: why fast follow-up builds momentum(43:32) How to run high-impact meetings (the 60-second rule)(47:00) Why influencing execs is part of your job(49:15) Asking for more resources and thinking in 10x bets(52:23) What to do when your idea gets rejected(54:18) Clarifying information(56:50) How to build trust and make ideas stick(58:30) Shrinking big ideas into experiments(01:02:27) Common mistakes people make when influencing leaders(01:06:00) How to grow into your next role(01:09:32) How AI is changing influence and product work(01:17:55) Using AI to simulate exec feedback and improve pitches(01:21:15) Protecting our brains from overwhelm(01:22:44) Lightning round and final thoughts—Referenced:• Box: https://www.box.com• Slack: https://slack.com• Brightwheel: https://mybrightwheel.com• Webflow: https://webflow.com• April Underwood on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprilunderwood• Lessons in product leadership and AI strategy from Glean, Google, Amazon, and Slack | Tamar Yehoshua (Product at Glean, ex-Google and Slack): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/you-dont-need-to-be-a-well-run-company-to-win-tamar-yehoshua• Atlassian: https://www.atlassian.com• Behind the scenes of Calendly's rapid growth | Annie Pearl (CPO): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/behind-the-scenes-of-calendlys-rapid• Calendly: https://calendly.com• Glassdoor: https://www.glassdoor.co.in/index.htm• The 10 traits of great PMs, how AI will impact your product, and Slack's product development process | Noah Weiss (Slack, Foursquare, Google): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/the-10-traits-of-great-pms-how-ai• Ethan Eismann on X: https://x.com/eeismann• Slack founder: Mental models for building products people love ft.

UX hiring insights from a UX veteran with 25+ years in UX and product. In this episode, Sarah Doody interviews Dan Maccarone, co-founder of Hard Candy Shell and Charming Robot, fractional Chief Product Officer, and a UX expert who's worked on products for Hulu, Rent the Runway, Foursquare, and the Wall Street Journal. In the episode Dan shares about what he actually looks for when hiring UX people (spoiler: it's not your Figma skills).Dan shares why he doesn't care about tools, why he conducts interviews over drinks instead of in conference rooms, and how he evaluates candidates based on curiosity, empathy, and how they think, not what software they know. He also gets into career reinvention, the rise of fractional leadership roles, and why your hobbies outside of UX might matter more than your case studies.If you're a UX or Product professional navigating your next career move, this conversation will challenge what you think hiring managers care about.What's discussed in this episode:Why Dan has hired people who didn't know Figma — and doesn't careWhat curiosity and a humanities background signal to a hiring managerWhy Dan prefers to conducts interviews with candidates over coffee or drinks, not in conference roomsHow he uses observation and empathy cues to evaluate candidates (the same way you'd do user research)Why he hates design assignments and considers them insultingWhat "career reinvention" looks like after 25 years in UX and how to know when it's timeThe real requirements for going fractional (and why it's not for everyone)Why your identity and hobbies outside of work actually make you better at your jobHow he's re-invented his own UX career multiple times

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, Pastor Chase teaches how Paul starts off challenging us in how we should live our lives for Christ…in a manner worthy of the gospel:  How? In our conduct….in our consistency….cooperating with others….and He will give us courage through the difficult times. In doing this we will become ‘like minded' and find encouragement and comfort, sharing in the spirit and courage lived out in tenderness and compassion.But Paul reminds us to do all this while putting others first, and then our joy will be complete.Key Scriptures:Philippians 1:27-30, 2:1-4, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Joshua 1:9, Deuteronomy 31:6, I Chronicles 28:20, I Corinthians 16:13, James 3:16

Continuing our new series “Got Joy?” Pastor Ira teaches Life and Death Joy is a joy that can be a constant in our own lives regardless of the unknown, regardless of the ultimate fears that we face in this world. A secular approach of addressing these trials in our lives, ultimately finds no satisfaction. Paul the Apostle faced these painful times like most all God followers and found a joy that defies life and death.  Key Scriptures:Philippians 1:12-26, Genesis 45:5, Job 13:16, Philippians 3:8, Hebrews 11:6, Psalm 16:11, Romans 8:18

Wrapping up our series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD'S PRAYER, Pastor Ira takes a deeper dive into the last line, “Lead us not into temptation…”. We have been given a great gift in Christ. He has promised that because of His death and resurrection we can be Born Again and walk in a “New Life”. This is the promise. Why do so many people not see it fully expressed in their lives? As we close this series on the Lord's Prayer, we will address this question. Key Scriptures:Romans 6:4, 7:21–25, Matthew 6:9–13, 1 Corinthians 10:13, James 1:12–15, Hebrews 2:14, Isaiah 54:17

Continuing our new series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD'S PRAYER, Pastor Kuulei takes a deeper dive into the sixth line, “Forgive us our trespasses”. In teaching His disciples to pray, Jesus went back to the verse on forgiveness and reiterated it in a way that seemed harsh.  But His heart was to communicate what true forgiveness looked like in the Kingdom of Heaven.Today we'll look at what biblical forgiveness is not, what it is, and why it's NOT OPTIONAL in the life of the Believer.Key Scriptures:Colossians 3:13, Matthew 6:9-12,14-15,18:21-22, Luke 23:34, Ephesians 4:32, Luke 17:3-5, 2 Timothy 1:7, Micah 7:19, Psalm 103:11-12

We stumbled into the most divisive schoolyard debate of all time—what do you actually call that game where you hit a ball between squares? Tim and Ricki always knew it as handball, Joel called it Foursquare in Perth, but then a TikToker claimed it's actually called downball and the floodgates opened. Listeners rang in from all over Australia with completely different names depending on where they grew up and what size ball you're using.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Continuing our series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD'S PRAYER, today Pastor chase takes a deeper dive into the 5th line “give us today our daily bread”.

Kit Krugman is the SVP of People and Culture at Foursquare, where she is leading a significant shift in how the company approaches culture, performance, and organizational speed. In this episode of The Edge of Work, Kit shares how Foursquare redesigned its people systems to increase product velocity, reduce layers, and strengthen cross-functional teamwork.She explains why performance management became the starting point for culture change, how team-based performance and organizational network analysis provide better signals of impact, and how AI is beginning to reshape coaching, feedback, and learning—and what that means for the future of people leadership.LinksKit's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kitkrugman/Kit's Blog Link: https://foursquare.com/resources/blog/culture/building-for-speed-why-culture-change-starts-with-performance/

John and Charles examine a newly surfaced transcript involving Paul Cain and Chuck Smith that exposes how leadership power functioned behind the scenes of the charismatic movement. The discussion traces how the same figures moved from Foursquare to Calvary Chapel, Vineyard, and ultimately the New Apostolic Reformation, carrying the same control structures with them. The conversation explores how recordings, private confessions, and reputation management became tools for enforcing silence, shaping narratives, and protecting movements at critical moments. By following the historical trail from the 1950s healing revival through the 1980s and beyond, the episode reveals how spiritual authority often operated less through doctrine and more through leverage. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

Halcomb is joined by Dr. Andrew Ray Williams (pastor-theologian, Foursquare minister, and contributor to the CPT Journal) to explore Emil Brunner's theology of revelation and why it still matters for Christians today.Together, they discuss:- What it really means to call Jesus the Word of God- How Scripture functions as a Spirit-breathed witness to Christ- Why false dichotomies between Christ and the Bible are dangerous- What inerrancy debates often miss- How preaching and teaching can invite genuine encounter- Why the church must discern Scripture together, not just individuallyThis conversation challenges the idea that the Bible is merely an information source and invites believers to recover a relational, Christ-centered approach to Scripture—one that expects God to speak.

Continuing our new series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD'S PRAYER, Pastor Chase takes a deeper dive into the third line, “Thy Kingdom come”. The kingdom of God is anyplace where God's will is done.  How can we follow Jesus' example by giving up our will to live out our Fathers will in Heaven while here on this earth. Key Scriptures:Matthew 28:18-20, 6:9-13,33, 13:31-32, 16:24, Romans 12:2, I John 2:17, Luke 22:42, 17:21,  Colossians 1: 12-14, Mark 1:15

Continuing our new series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD'S PRAYER, Pastor Kuulei takes a deeper dive into the second line, “Hallowed by Your Name.”  It is probably the line that is most glossed over and least thought of, but what does it really mean, and what is the significance of hallowing God's name?Key Scriptures:Matthew 6:9, Psalm 34:1-3, Psalm 103:1-5, Psalm145:1-7, Daniel 4:37, Luke 1:46-47; 49, Isaiah 64:6, Psalm 86:15

We are very excited to have Dawn Vail speak at our services to open 2026. She and her husband, Ted, have long been leaders and high contributors towards the local and global ministry of our Foursquare denomination. Dawn has served in pastoral ministry in numerous cities where she taught Scripture and formed disciples. Her husband presently serves as the Vice President of Foursquare, which causes them to travel around the world to continue ministry in the name of Jesus. Dawn is a deeply kind and caring human, and we're thrilled to have her among us. We've previously heard from Ted and now we get to receive from Dawn! What a kind gift.

Today we start a new series called “Pray Like This”, with Pastor Ira teaching on the prayer Jesus gave His disciples when they asked Him to teach them to pray. The beginning of His prayer starts with “Our Father who is in Heaven”.Why don't we pray? One reason is we don't really know the One we are asked to pray to… As we embrace “Our Father in Heaven” and understand His heart for each one of us, we will be drawn closer to Him in transformational prayer. Key Scriptures:Luke 11:1, Matthew 6:1,5-13, Mark 14:36, Hebrews 11:6
