This week, we're framing the executive job search through a sales lens. I sat down with my friend and sales trainer Carlos M. Garcia to unpack why most executives stall. It's not because of the market, but because they refuse to see the job search as a sales process. Sales isn't persuasion. It's decision friction removal. The same skill that closes deals is the skill that earns trust, momentum, and offers in a career transition. Executives who avoid this reality stay stuck. Key Takeaways (Read These First) • The job search mirrors a sales pipeline. Hope is not a strategy. • Sales fails when friction is high. Job searches fail for the same reason. • Corporate language kills clarity and trust. • Relatability beats credentials in high-stakes conversations. • Rejection is feedback, not identity damage.

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore it more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of #ComplianceintotheWeeds, Tom Fox, and Matt Kelly look at the leadership failures from Donald Trump and his administration after the killing of Alex Pretti last weekend. This episode has significant editorial commentary. Matt and Tom critically examine the behavior and leadership failings of Donald Trump and his Administration in the wake of the shooting of Alex Pretti and argue that his approach is far from exemplary for CEOs or business leaders. The discussion highlights the essence of effective leadership as the ability to instill trust and direction, contrasting this with Trump's history of questionable business acumen and the allegations of his disastrous lying to the American people. The takeaway is that true leadership involves integrity, trustworthiness, and the ability to inspire and guide employees toward a common goal, traits that Trump is argued to lack.  Key highlights: Comparing CEOs to Donald Trump Crisis of hyper-transparency Corporate responses. Were they enough or a first step?

With Opening Day creeping closer, the Mets' clubhouse chemistry is back under the microscope after Carlos Mendoza's comments on the Heyman and Sherman pod. Asked if there were issues last year, Mendoza starts with “yeah,” then explains what he really means: the room was professional, respectful, and at times way too “corporate,” without enough celebrating or looseness when things got tough. The guys connect that to the dynamic between Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, two stars with totally different personalities. Soto is all business, Lindor is the constant energy guy, and that contrast can be fine when you are winning, but tricky when the season gets stressful. They also zoom out to a bigger point about locker rooms: even “great leaders” can have messy relationships, and plenty of winning teams keep everything quiet, which is why we rarely hear these stories until someone finally says the quiet part out loud.

Hour 3 starts with the Mets, as Carlos Mendoza's comments on a “corporate” clubhouse reignite the chemistry conversation. The guys break down what Mendoza really admitted, why Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor's personalities matter when things go bad, and whether leadership has to come from someone other than the highest-paid star. They also hit the idea that locker rooms are messy everywhere, even for “great leaders,” and why David Stearns is about as untouchable as it gets in New York sports. Then it pivots back to the NBA with Ian Begley joining to sort through the Giannis noise, Jrue Holiday rumors, Karl-Anthony Towns tension, and what the Knicks can realistically do with the trade deadline a week away. Begley gives a sober read on whether this roster is truly championship built, what happens if the team sputters before the deadline, and why any Jrue move is likely tied directly to the Giannis chessboard. The hour closes with quick hits: Buffalo's Joe Brady hiring reshapes the coaching carousel and Brian Daboll's options, plus a rapid-fire look at what's next on the sports calendar as deadlines and Super Bowl week collide.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces his first major test as a massive snowstorm hits the city. Partnership for New York City President and CEO Steven Fulop, in his first TV interview since taking the helm, discusses the outlook for business in New York under Mamdani's leadership. Then, after 60 executives of Minnesota-based companies co-signed a letter calling for calm in Minneapolis, former chairman and CEO of Minnesota-based Medtronic Bill George weighs in the corporate response to the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens at the hands of ICE. George discusses the difficult balance between maintaining a relationship with the Trump administration and prioritizing their business interests. Plus, India and the European Union have reached a trade deal, and Corning landed a $6 billion AI infrastructure contract with Meta. Steven Fulop - 09:29Bill George - 21:43 In this episode:Bill George, @Bill_GeorgeSteven Fulop, @StevenFulopBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinCameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Way Too Little, Far Too Late: Power, Blood, and Corporate Cowardice | The Karel Show Now they want investigations. Now they want resignations. Now — after the damage is done. As Bovino is reportedly pushed back to the border and toward a quiet retirement, Republicans are suddenly calling for accountability and privately urging Kristi Noem to step down. Why the sudden concern? Because they smell blood in the water ahead of the midterms — and they're trying to save themselves. It won't work. They waited too long. Two people are dead. The videos are clear. And no one has been prosecuted for what appear to be killings carried out under the direction — and encouragement — of an out-of-control President and his inner circle. This isn't politics. It's responsibility — and it's being dodged in real time. Then there's Apple. I've been an Apple user since the Lisa. I literally have an Apple tattoo. But watching Tim Cook hand Trump a trophy — and then attend a Melania movie premiere at the White House — raises a serious question: does Apple's leadership still understand its own users, values, or audience? Because right now, it looks like moral surrender dressed up as neutrality. Plus: • Alex Honnold climbs a skyscraper without a rope • Netflix pays for it — and profits from it • Should this kind of extreme risk be encouraged, monetized, and broadcast? This episode asks a simple question that applies to politics, corporations, and media alike: When accountability finally arrives, why is it always too little — and far too late? The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

If you're a Christian man trying to lead your family, protect your marriage, and stay faithful in a world that keeps pulling you off course—this episode is for you. Pastor Andre Anderson (aka “Barbecue Church”) breaks down why no one is coming to save you, why depending on a church paycheck can trap your calling, and why real masculinity isn't toxic—it's disciplined, protective, and surrendered to Christ. You'll hear straight talk on killing bad habits, resisting lust and temptation, handling marriage conflict without turning your wife into the enemy, and learning to fight the right battles—in the spirit, not in the flesh. Andre also shares the “225° Man” message: God forms men low and slow—like smoked meat—through heat, pressure, process, and rest. If you've been stuck in cycles, secret sin, burnout, or you feel spiritually numb, this conversation will light you up with practical, biblical mindset shifts and a call back to real brotherhood, prayer, and leadership. Why “vocational ministry” isn't the only real ministry How to kill the patterns wrecking your marriage and leadership The “225° Man” metaphor: process, discipline, and spiritual formation Why men keep fighting the wrong battles (and how to shift spiritually) How to create real men's community (not surface-level events) Guardrails for travel, temptation, and honoring your covenant Why politics can't be your savior—and what Kingdom focus looks like 00:00 Intro00:23 Andre's backstory: ministry, family, “7 jobs”01:06 Barbecue Church + reaching men outside church walls05:06 Corporate work + ministry opportunities in the field08:18 Killing bad habits in marriage + attention & leadership12:20 The 225° Man: God builds you low & slow15:24 The struggle men face right now18:26 Politics, presidents, and staying Kingdom-minded25:05 Real brotherhood: locking arms, prayer, community27:25 The #1 takeaway: KILL what doesn't belong34:02 Where to find Andre + closing #ChristianMen #Masculinity #MarriageAdvice #MensMinistry #FaithAndDiscipline Learn more about your ad choices.

Rapid market swings and rising governance demands are forcing corporates to rethink how they manage liquidity. Treasurers expect cash to be secure, accessible, and productive. 

This week, we tackle one of the biggest trends in corporate innovation: Corporate Venturing. With AI compressing innovation cycles, the largest tech companies—Microsoft, NVIDIA, Salesforce, Intel, Samsung—are pouring capital into corporate venture programs. CVC-backed funding hit $66 billion in 2024, up 20% year-over-year, with AI startups capturing 37% of every dollar invested. Corporate venturing has never been more important—or more expensive.But here's the staggering reality: Less than 4% of CVC-backed companies are ever acquired by their corporate investors. The average CVC program requires $50-500 million in fund capital, a team of 3-7 dedicated professionals, and 5-10 years before seeing meaningful returns. And 80% of those investments will fail to return capital.This creates a question: Is there a better way to achieve the innovation outcomes that motivate corporate venturing—market intelligence, product innovation, competitive advantage—without the decade-long timeline, massive capital commitment, and venture-style failure rates?Jay and Jared break down the corporate venturing model using Jobs-To-Be-Done theory, revealing why traditional CVC programs struggle with the tension between venture speed and corporate governance. More importantly, they unveil how the JTBD methodology can deliver the same strategic outcomes companies seek from corporate venturing, but in weeks instead of years, and at a fraction of the cost.Is corporate venturing the right innovation strategy for the AI era, or is there a faster, lower-risk path to capturing growth and defending against disruption?✅ Download our Executive White Paper: "How to Use JTBD To Grow Faster"

From Corporate to Creator: Turning Fear Into FaithI didn't leave corporate because I hated it. I left because the identity no longer fit.In this first entry of Diary of a Creator, I'm sharing the real story behind becoming an “corp girly” — the part no one warns you about once the title, paycheck, and structure disappear.From my first jobs at 16 (babysitting, Popeyes — yes, red beans and rice trauma included), to working through undergrad and grad school, winning Rookie of the Year at a credit union, trading with 3000%+ ROI, being selected for The Apprentice final 50, consulting with brands like NBC, Victoria's Secret, Sony, Best Buy, and Shania Twain — I've lived what feels like 10,000 lives in one.And yet…Even while helping brands create consistent 6–8 figure results, my own money, worth, and identity were a mess.This episode is about:• The fear that shows up after you leave corporate• Why nothing in your story is wasted• Faith as action — (Faith without works is dead)• Identity loss, stewardship, and becoming a creator in real lifeThis isn't a “quit your job” episode.It's an honest look at what happens when you stop being who you were trained to be — and start becoming who you're created to be.https://bit.ly/createitlikeaboss

In today's episode, Richard argues that the market is defined by rampant speculation and extreme narrowness. He explains why he's bullish on both dividend-paying and international stocks and believes crypto is the first global investment bubble. To close, he warns that corporate credit is priced for perfection, inflation risks aren't gone, and diversification is the best defense in a bubble-prone market.

Most women think brain fog in perimenopause is inevitable. It isn't. In this episode, I explain what's really going on: your brain isn't broken, it's running on empty; and that's a solvable biology problem, not a willpower problem. I break down what happens as estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, how that impacts brain energy, and why symptoms like forgetfulness, poor focus, and “slow-motion thinking” can show up even when you're doing everything right. Then I share four science-backed strategies to rebuild a sharper, more resilient brain—covering nutrition, training for cognitive performance, regulating your mental “gears,” and a practical supplement toolkit to amplify the foundations WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How blood sugar crashes sabotage cognition (and the breakfast fix) Why protein & healthy fats matter for focus in perimenopause The role of omega-3s (EPA/DHA) in neuroinflammation and clarity Why higher-intensity exercise can improve focus via lactate → BDNF How to use training strategically before deep work or high-stakes meetings The 3 Gears framework for focus, creativity, and stress regulation Why micro-breaks between meetings improve engagement and reduce stress buildup The supplement stack discussed (omega-3s, magnesium forms, ubiquinol/CoQ10, B vitamins) How to start with one change and build momentum without overwhelm TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Brain Fog in Perimenopause: What's Really Going On 02:37 Strategy 1: High-Quality Nutrition 05:25 Strategy 2: Exercise for Focus (Lactate, BDNF & Brain Energy) 08:59 Strategy 3: 3 Gears Framework for Focus & Stress 13:05 Strategy 4: The Supplement Toolkit (What Actually Helps) 17:28 How to Reclaim Your Focus & Energy VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend • Longevity Supplement Masterclass – https://academy.angelafosterperformance.com/longevity-masterclass-27 • Omega-3 Episode featuring Dr. Bill Harris – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J42kJPyHPoA A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get 10% off MitoQ NAD+ - www.mitoq.com with code ANGELA Get 35% off Timeline Mitopure by visiting this link while the offer lasts - https://www.timeline.com/promotions/angela35 ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

If you've been thinking about leaving corporate but the risk feels too big, this episode gives you a smarter way to look at it.Brett sits down with Alex Smereczniak, a former EY consultant who left corporate early, built a high-growth business in the laundry space, and later launched Franzy—a platform designed to make franchising easier to research and navigate.This conversation covers the mindset shift that helps people stop overestimating the risk of leaving, plus why franchising can be an underrated “business with guardrails” path for escapees who want ownership without building from scratch.What we cover • Alex's escape story: college entrepreneurship → EY → leaving after a year and change • The moment that validated his decision: an EY partner's biggest career regret • Why fear is often self-created—and how to get past it • A practical worst-case scenario exercise to reset your risk tolerance • Why franchising is a business model, not an industry • Franzy's concept: “Zillow for buying and selling franchise businesses” • How AI + coaching can narrow thousands of franchise options into a realistic short list • Underrated franchise categories and trends (senior care, home services, turf, and more) • The “corporate is one customer” reframe—and why ownership builds equityKey timestamps (approx.) • 00:00–03:30 – Alex's corporate stint + why he left fast • 03:30–08:30 – The EY exit interview story: “It wasn't my ladder” • 08:30–12:30 – Why making money outside corporate is more possible than people think • 12:30–20:30 – The worst-case scenario exercise (the fear-killer) • 20:30–28:30 – Alex's journey building a scaled laundry business + why franchising clicked • 28:30–33:30 – What franchising actually is (and what most people misunderstand) • 33:30–40:30 – Franchise categories you probably haven't considered • 40:30–46:30 – Equity, control, and why “owning” beats “leasing” your careerBig takeaways • Most people overestimate the risk of leaving corporate. The real risk is staying dependent on one employer. • You don't need a perfect plan. You need small wins and momentum—then you adjust. • Franchising can be a fast path to ownership because you start with a proven playbook, support, and guardrails. • Ownership builds equity. A job pays you, but it doesn't typically create an asset you can sell.Who this episode is for • Corporate pros who want out but feel stuck because of risk, family, or finances • Escapees who want a “business with guardrails” instead of starting from scratch • Anyone curious about franchising beyond the usual fast-food stereotypesResources + links • Franzy https://franzy.com/ • Alex on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-smereczniak-40310329/

Apply for the Leap Year 6-week Minimind⁠https://www.oliviatati.com/leapyearmini⁠ In this new episode, Olivia talks with Moumi Fall, a 24-year-old first-time investor who bought her first 4-bedroom investment property while still working corporate. Moumi opens up about how she discovered real estate through BiggerPockets and mentorship, overcame self-doubt, and took bold action even before she felt fully “ready.” She shares the strategy behind house hacking, how she manages rental income, and how she's setting herself up for long-term financial freedom—all while balancing her career and personal goals.

From Corporate to Founder: Aya Kikimova on Fortune 500 Marketing, Small Business ROI, and Building Leap Engine Without FundingIn this episode of Uncomplicated, I sit down with Aya Kikimova, Founder of Leap Engine and former Microsoft marketing leader, to unpack what it really takes to leave “golden shackles,” build a business from referrals, and deliver growth that's rooted in data, margins, and real ROI, not hype.Born in Kazakhstan and arriving in the U.S. at 16 with no computer skills, Aya built her way to an MBA and a powerhouse corporate career. In 2021, she walked away from corporate life as a new mom and launched Leap Engine in the middle of the pandemic, no outside funding, no safety net, just skill, resilience, and a mission to make high-level marketing accessible to small businesses.Today, Leap Engine has generated $100M+ in revenue for 100+ clients, proving that small businesses can get Fortune 500 strategy without paying Fortune 500 prices.We cover:Aya's journey from Kazakhstan to the U.S. at 16 and how she rebuilt from zeroHow she broke into Microsoft and earned recognition in the top 0.01%What $50M/year in ad spend teaches you about accountability, testing, and ROIThe “golden shackles” moment: leaving corporate as a new mom with no fundingHow Leap Engine grew through referrals and why Aya didn't plan to start an agencyThe difference between enterprise strategy and what actually works for small businessesAya's GPS audit (Growth / Profit / Sales) and the numbers founders must knowWhen marketing isn't the answer yet (and why Aya turns businesses down)The role of social proof, conversion paths, and clean digital foundationsAI in marketing: why it's exciting, but not “set it and forget it”The myth Aya wants to bust forever: “Guaranteed results”Key Takeaways:Small business marketing fails when the math doesn't work not because “marketing doesn't work.”Strong growth starts with LTV, margins, and conversion paths before scaling spend.Data-driven testing beats guesswork especially with limited budgets.AI can enhance execution, but strategy still needs humans.Sustainable growth comes from clarity, not shiny tactics or promises.This is a grounded, tactical episode for founders who want to spend smarter, build stronger foundations, and grow in a way that actually supports their life not just their revenue.

Most businesses are stuck in AI demo mode, watching impressive one-off showcases that never become daily operations. In this episode, Tim Montague welcomes Josh Huston from Agents Anywhere to break down the three categories of AI opportunity: apps, agents, and automations. Josh has spent over three years helping companies turn AI from buzzword into working business infrastructure.Key Discussion Points:Why AI is an accelerator for working workflows, not a fix for broken processesThe three AI opportunity categories: apps (custom interfaces), agents (goal-driven LLMs with tool access), and automations (background workflows)How data ownership shifts when you build custom applications instead of relying on third-party toolsReal-world example: proposal generation workflow reduced from hours to minutes using AI agentsPilot project framework: $15K-$25K investments targeting high-impact workflows with measurable ROICost structure for AI agents: service fees, token usage (as low as 2 cents per process), and platform licensingThis episode gives clean energy operators a practical framework for AI adoption. The message is clear: stop accumulating tools and start building strategic workflows. Josh and Tim walk through the entire process from identifying friction points to scaling successful pilots across your organization. If you run a solar EPC, energy storage company, or any cleantech operation feeling pressure to "do something with AI," this conversation provides the roadmap. The approach is simple: find what works, accelerate it with AI, measure ROI, then expand intentionally.Book a strategy call today: https://calendly.com/tim-montague/ai-consulting#/ Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

How do you choose peace when the world expects you to panic?Michael Klassen, founder of the 5AM Podcast, shares his journey from senior broadcast producer to faith-fueled entrepreneur after an unexpected termination in October 2024.

Ex-corporate operators don't fail because they're dumb.They fail because they try to play entrepreneurship like a safe promotion instead of a thousand-run swing of the bat.In this episode of Second Life Leader, I sit down with Roger Martin—former pharma COO who walked away at 46 from the “sharp suit + stock options” life to wake up on a Monday with no salary, no benefits, and no safety net. Since then he's co-founded RockBox Fitness, Beam Light Sauna, and ThriveMore Autopilot, and he's brutally honest about what it actually takes to survive that transition.We get into:* Why survival is wildly underrated as a business strategy—and why just staying in the game longer than everyone else becomes a superpower.* How to think about exponential learning as your real edge (not your idea, not your funding).* The difference between pulling the slot machine lever and building offers that can hit “thousand-run” grand slams.* Why most management jobs are going to be eaten by AI agents—and what that means for your next decade if you're still hiding in middle management.* Corporate as a paid training ground vs. a life sentence, and how to know when you've shifted from learning to just turning the crank.* The conversations we're having with our kids about college, creative careers, and being broke on purpose while you chase something real.* Roger's simple, ruthless advice to his son chasing music—and to any founder on the edge of quitting.If you're in your own second act—post-layoff, post-burnout, post-“this can't be my legacy”—this one is a mirror and a map.Connect with Roger:https://www.linkedin.com/in/realrogermartin/www.realrogermartin.com This is a public episode.

Brown sits down with Marvin Karlow—former corporate exec turned M&A advisor—who scaled a “dirty business” into a $21M exit.

Tom Mirabella left corporate at 30 and never looked back. Seventeen years later, he's built Wingman into a 25-person business by doing what corporate rarely rewards: solving problems fast, betting on relationships, and staying obsessively close to customers.In this conversation, Tom breaks down his escape story, why “local + in-person” is making a comeback, and how Wingman's franchise model flips the typical franchise script — where the franchisee focuses on relationships and sales while the central team handles fulfillment and delivery.If you're stuck in corporate and can't see a path out, this episode gives you a practical look at what “building your own lane” can really look like — without pretending it's easy.Join the Escapee Collective: TheEscapeeCollective.com What You'll Learn• Why Tom left corporate early (and what corporate policies taught him about ceilings)• The side-hustle-to-business path: how one small project turned into real clients• How to think about risk when leaving: your monthly “number” vs. replacing a salary• Why entrepreneurship can swing from best day to worst day in 30 minutes — and how to handle it• The “digital mayor” concept: becoming the trusted local hub in your town• Why Tom believes physical locations + community presence still win in a digital world• A modern franchise approach: franchisee sells + builds relationships, HQ team delivers• Why customer service and trust are the real differentiators in crowded marketsKey Quotes• “The problem's now.

Guy Adami is joined by Danny Moses for a wide‑ranging macro conversation on gold, silver, Japan, energy stocks, banks, the Fed and the “K‑shaped” U.S. economy. They start with precious metals, breaking down why silver's industrial demand from EVs, solar and AI data centers is creating a structural supply squeeze, what it means for gold vs. silver, and how miners like Coeur Mining (CDE), Freeport‑McMoRan (FCX) and Newmont (NEM) fit into the trade. From there, they connect the metals story to Japan's weakening yen, surging bond yields, the carry trade, and the risk that a “point of no return” in Japanese policy spills over into U.S. Treasuries and global risk assets. In this episode of 'He Said, She Said', Guy Adami, Kristen Kelly & Jen Saarbach dive into the theme of unintended consequences. The discussion begins with Jerome Powell's saga and its implications on the Fed's independence and market reactions, highlighting potential political maneuvers and their backfires. Transitioning to monetary policy, they analyze the complexities of interest rate decisions and the perceptions of Fed control over the yield curve. Shifting to consumer finance, they debate the Biden administration's proposal to cap credit card rates and its potential repercussions on the economy. Corporate drama takes center stage with an in-depth analysis of the bidding war for Warner Brothers, involving Netflix, Paramount, and regulatory hurdles, likened to a real-life 'Succession'. They conclude by addressing headlines about Blackstone's housing market involvement and the impact on prices, underscoring the intricate web of economic policies and market behaviors. The episode wraps with discussions on gold and silver markets, oil prices, and the weakening US dollar, showcasing the multifaceted landscape of global finance. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media
