Eva Yazhari — Managing Partner of Beyond Capital Ventures, early-stage investor, author of The Good Your Money Can Do, and advocate for conscious capitalism. Her funds have backed 50+ equity and 9 debt investments, reaching over 100 million customers across Africa and India. First and most recent dollar: First job: Working at a Staten Island bread shop. Today: Managing partner of a venture + private credit fund investing in emerging markets with LP capital. Family background & mindset: Father grew up in Tanzania; grandfather a medical doctor working with Catholic missions — early exposure shaped her view of Africa as opportunity, not risk. Parents were artists — exposure to art trained her in pattern recognition, now one of her investor superpowers. Education & mindset pivots: Started pre-med at Columbia → realized it was toxic competition. Pivoted to math, discovering both aptitude and love of problem solving. Training in mathematics = fluency in patterns, language of money, and risk analysis. Early career: VP at Entrust Capital (fund of hedge funds). Employee #2 → helped scale from $200M → $4.8B AUM. Managed relationships with activist hedge fund giants like Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn. Learned portfolio building, risk management, and fundraising skills that later became core to her VC work. Why venture capital in Africa & India? By 2050, 1 in 4 humans will be African; India today has the world's largest working-age population. 53% of the next decade's growth will come from these regions. Saw contrarian “alpha” opportunity most Western investors still dismiss. Sectors of focus: Healthcare Fintech Mobility Agtech (selectively) All are tech-enabled, solving essential problems for fast-growing middle classes. Conscious capitalism lens: Portfolio companies think beyond profits → align incentives with customers, governments, communities. Example: Rwanda's first licensed online pharmacy; startup scaling e-motorbikes after gas bikes banned. Beyond Capital gives founders a share of fund profits — equitable ownership model. Fundraising lessons: Fundraising is sales math: Eva raised her second fund after 550+ investor meetings → ~30–40 LPs. Funnel has to be very wide. Mindset matters: Rejections happen, but abundance mindset drives momentum. Referrals are gold: “Every dud knows a stud” — rejections often connect you to your best investors. Exude confidence from a clear strategy — investors back comfort + conviction. Personal insights: Considers herself an entrepreneur, not just an allocator. Believes leadership skills are as critical as financial acumen. Thinks of her fund as her “third child.” Alternate career: Pop star. Dream chat: Emma Grede (helped Kardashian brands scale). Learning style: Podcasts, audiobooks, physical books. Reading now: The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle. Her book: The Good Your Money Can Do. Pump-up song: The Rapture Pt. 3 by Black Coffee. Weakness: Moving slowly — always in motion. https://www.instagram.com/consciousinvestor/?hl=en

We welcome our latest guest, Jessica Rhodes — founder of Interview Connections (pioneer podcast booking agency), to the show! She joins us to share how podcast guesting helps health coaches attract clients, monetize content, and build authority—plus practical steps to start now. In this episode, Jessica breaks down why guesting is the fastest path for health coaches to create content, grow visibility, and generate leads—especially when your best ideas surface through Q&A conversation. We cover when to host vs. guest, how to monetize (funnels, CTAs, affiliate marketing, repurposing), and why the green-room connection (before/after the interview) often drives real business. Why this matters for health coaches Complex, personalized services convert best through conversation, not scripts. Guesting = low-lift content creation + instant authority via borrowed audiences. Hosting builds a home base; guesting builds reach. Use both strategically. Key takeaways Start as a guest to clarify messaging; then consider launching your show. Treat your podcast (hosted or guest spots) as part of a marketing funnel: problem → value → clear CTA every time. Monetize beyond ads: affiliate offers, service enrollments, lead magnets, networking with hosts. Repurpose every interview: short clips, reels, emails, blogs—one appearance = weeks of content. Leverage the green-room chat (off-air). Relationships there often become clients, partners, or affiliates. Follow demand: pitch shows where your ideal buyer already listens. Action steps (do this next) Define one offer + one CTA you'll use on every interview. Draft 5–7 signature questions you answer brilliantly (and suggested questions for hosts). Create a repurposing checklist (clips, quotes, newsletter, LinkedIn/IG posts). Build a simple booking page/lead magnet to capture interest from episodes. Pitch 5 aligned shows this week—or work with a specialized podcast booking agency. Host vs. Guest — equal power, different benefits Guesting: Audience growth, authority by association, faster lead gen. Hosting: Consistent nurture for your list, message control, deeper brand assets. Monetization quick hits Funnel-first: every episode points to one next step (quiz, call, free training). Affiliate marketing works with small but engaged audiences. Track results: appearances → traffic → email signups → sales. Support the show Rate/review on Apple Podcasts and share with a coach who needs a guesting strategy.

Du kennst dein Angebot, deine Expertise ist satt – aber im Call rutscht dir die Souveränität weg, du drückst dich in fremde Skripte, klingst plötzlich wie jeder andere … und der Kunde spürt's. Du fragst dich: Warum schließen die „Lauteren“ schneller ab, obwohl ich viel tiefer im Thema bin? Vielleicht, weil du gegen deinen Charismatyp verkaufst. Typische Zeichen dafür: – Du bist eigentlich klar & direkt – und wirst im Sales-Gespräch weichgespült. – Du bist empathisch – und zwingst dich in eine harte „Jetzt-oder-nie“-Abschlussroutine. – Du brauchst Zahlen & Logik – aber versuchst dich an Storytelling und verlierst dich. – Du bist energiegeladen & spontan – und erstickst in Funnel-Skripten, die dich bremsen. Diese Folge „Verkaufen mit Charisma – welcher Typ verkauft wie?“ ist für dich, wenn deine Abschlussquote nicht zu deiner Qualität passt, du dich im Vertrieb verstellst – oder dein Team scheinbar stark ist, aber im Sales konstant unterperformt. Trau dich du zu sein, deine Silke & ein Lächeln. Ich wünsche dir ein Charisma-Aha, trau dich DU zu sein, deine Silke und ein Lächeln. In Podcastfolge #325 „Verkaufen mit Charisma – welcher Typ verkauft wie?“, erfährst du unter anderem: ✨ Was es für dich bedeutet, wenn du im Verkauf permanent gegen deinen Charismatyp arbeitest. ✨ Warum dein Funnel- oder Skript-Dogma deine Abschlussquote eher killt als hebt. ✨ Woran du erkennst, dass du (oder dein Team) im Sales authentisch völlig falsch kalibriert seid. ✨ Wie sich „falsche“ Sales-Energie auf Vertrauen, Preise und Stammkunden auswirkt. ✨ Welche Stellschraube du zuerst drehen musst, bevor du an Technik, Taktik oder Tools gehst. ✨

Send us a textThink your Google rankings are all that matter? Think again. In this eye-opening conversation, marketing strategist Jonathan Bannister challenges everything contractors believe about digital marketing with his provocatively titled new book, "F*** Digital Marketing: Why Building a Memorable Brand Matters More Than Rankings."Bannister takes us on his unlikely journey from police officer to marketing expert, revealing how a desperate career pivot in 2014 led him to discover hard truths about what actually drives success for home service contractors. Through candid stories of working with HVAC and plumbing companies across the country, he exposes a fundamental problem: contractors are fighting over the mere 3-5% of homeowners actively seeking services while completely ignoring the other 95%.The podcast uncovers what Bannister calls "The Great Reset" – a seismic shift in how consumers find and choose service providers. As Google's monopoly fades and AI platforms rise, contractors clinging to outdated digital marketing strategies face extinction. Bannister predicts that within three years, 98% of website traffic won't be human as consumers simply ask AI assistants to find and book services for them. In this new landscape, being the most recognized brand trumps having perfect SEO.Perhaps most compelling is Bannister's story about a contractor who rebranded a 97-year-old company without proper strategy, resulting in a devastating 50% revenue loss. It illustrates his central argument: "No one can do amazing, perfect PPC with a weak, pathetic, unrecognizable brand." Through real-world examples, he demonstrates how contractors with strong brands consistently outperform competitors in digital results, even with less digital presence.Want to position your contracting business for long-term success? Discover why building a memorable brand through authentic storytelling, community engagement, and traditional media might be your most important marketing investment.

HUMANS REQUIRED: CRITICAL MOMENTS IN THE HIRING PROCESS How many times have we heard the comforting phrase 'but recruitment will always need the human touch'? Intuitively, I believe this is true at least for non-volume, permanent hiring but but do we really understand why, when, who and how? We probably need to find out because if we rely on comforting homilies, we might find the CFO won't quite get it ;-) - Why do we think the 'human touch' matters? - When we think about the human touch, what scenarios come immediately to mind? - AI / Automation has proven to improve CX in many cases, so is the case being made that more AI / Automation should mean further improvements in CX? - Does the source of the candidate matter when thinking about the 'human touch' - When do we think are the most important moments in the hiring funnel for the human beings to be involved? - Can sometimes 'more human' make things worse? - What does it look like when we have the perfect blend of AI driven efficiency and human delivered empathy? - Do we need to quantify the human touch? If so how does that connect with OKR / KPI's? - What do we - as humans - need from a recruitment experience? All this and more with Jean-Marie Caillaud, Founder (WorkMeTender), Carrie Brophy, Senior Director Talent Acquisition (Marriott International) & Mark Kunaseelan, Head of Resourcing (University of Arts, London) We are on Friday 1st August, 2pm BST / 9ET - follow the channel here (recommended) and save your spot for this demo by clicking on the green button.

Are you a coach using video to grow your business but struggling to turn those videos into real leads and clients? This episode is your game-changer. Tune in to learn a proven, step-by-step video funnel strategy that's generating consistent inbound leads from just 1–2 videos a month—even in 2025's changing content landscape. You'll discover how to shift from outdated lead magnets to high-converting “micro win offers,” how to spark meaningful conversations with warm leads, and how to turn engagement into booked calls and clients. Whether you're in fitness, health, or coaching, this is a must-listen to create content that actually converts. “Stop being so damn vanilla. Maybe you have to be more polarizing with your stuff. Maybe, just maybe you have to get better at your skills. Go figure.” Key Takeaways: Simple Video Funnel = Consistent Leads A well-crafted video funnel using just 1–2 strategic videos a month can consistently generate inbound leads and clients when done correctly. Long-Form Video Is Back Studies from Meta and Google show that long-form content is crucial for conversions, with buyers needing around 7 hours of content across 11 touchpoints and 4 mediums before making a purchase. Magic Money Math Is Essential Knowing your key performance indicators—especially your "magic number" (e.g., how many call offers or conversations you need daily)—helps you stay focused on income-producing actions. Micro Win Offers Outperform Traditional Lead Magnets Instead of outdated PDFs and guides, offer quick, high-value tools (like GPTs, calculators, or checklists) that create tangible results in under 10 minutes to build trust and generate interest. Messaging Must Match the Market If your content isn't getting engagement or leads, the issue is likely your messaging. Speak the right words, in the right way, to the right people to create connection and conversion. Engagement Begins with Strategic Content Conversion content campaigns that include posts with clear hooks and CTAs lead to warm conversations in the DMs, which then turn into booked calls and sales—without needing cold outreach.

With hybrid training and events like Hyrox on the rise, more gyms are adapting—some diversifying their class offerings, others going as far as de-affiliating from CrossFit entirely. In this episode, we explore how the functional fitness landscape is shifting and what that means for gym owners. Todd draws a brilliant analogy between the spectrum of fitness offerings and doom metal. On one end, you've got the aggressive intensity of CrossFit, on the other, the more polished, accessible experience of a Barry's Bootcamp-style class. We discuss what makes a gym successful, how onboarding (or the lack of it) shapes the experience, and how location can make or break a business model. From small-town boxes with no local competition to city gyms surrounded by ClassPass options, this episode looks at the changing dynamics of functional fitness, and why doom metal might explain more than you'd think.

CANDIDATE FRAUD: HARDENING THE HIRING FUNNEL WITH INFOSEC TECHNIQUES Candidate fraud is already a problem for some today but it will soon be a huge problem for everyone tomorrow. The uncomfortable truth is that AI will undermine trust in all digital communications and we need to rethink our recruitment approaches with security much higher in the priority list. It might even be said that security may become one of the main values human recruiters will perform as AI transforms the way we work today. We will learn - Line between legitimate AI use vs Fraud? - Is this fixed today or can we expect this to change tomorrow? - What is the international consensus on this line? - Taxonomise candidate fraud - what are the techniques, how they are using these techniques - Motivations for candidate fraud: material gain, desperation for job opportunity, IP theft? - Input from InfoSec: what practices will become standard? - Isn't trusting 3rd party verifiers just delegating the security responsibility? - What about bias - racial profiling, IP location bias etc? - Relationship between Candidate Fraud vs Remote working - Gender: fraudsters mainly male...?

Ep323 is sponsored by our friends Greenhouse Hiring is hard, and getting it right is even harder.

You need a user experience that hiring managers actually buy into. And you need an application process that locks talent in. Only Greenhouse gives you all that in one platform. Learn more
High Culture Hiring – so nennt Medizinalcannabis-Scale-up enua sein kompromissloses Recruiting-System. Deshalb habe ich mit CEO Albert Schwarzmeier gesprochen, um herauszufinden, wie er in nur zwei Jahren von 15 auf 51 Mitarbeitende gewachsen ist – und zwar profitabel, ganz ohne Burn-rate. Zunächst einmal: Schnelles Wachstum gelingt nur mit den richtigen Leuten. Darum definiert enua jede Rolle glasklar nach Purpose, Impact, KPIs und Culture Fit, bevor eine Anzeige live geht. Dann öffnet sich der Funnel aus LinkedIn-Posts, StepStone-Ads und einem starken Empfehlungsprogramm, das bereits 30 % aller Neueinstellungen liefert. Außerdem punktet das Team mit Tempo. HR meldet sich innerhalb von 48 Stunden im Videocall. Danach folgt der Hiring-Manager noch in derselben Woche. Schließlich trifft jede Bewerberin oder jeder Bewerber spätestens am siebten Tag eine Geschäftsführerin oder einen Geschäftsführer. Fällt ein Daumen im Panel nach unten, endet der Prozess sofort – daher spart enua Zeit, Geld und Nerven. Das Konzept endet natürlich nicht mit der Unterschrift. Somit führt das Onboarding neue Kolleg:innen in den ersten 30 Tagen gezielt durch Sales, Supply Chain, Data & Quality. Dadurch verstehen sie das hoch regulierte Produkt blitzschnell und liefern schon in Woche vier erste Quick Wins. Das Ergebnis: nahezu keine Kündigungen in der Probezeit. Zugleich bleibt Recruiting Chefsache. Albert veröffentlicht wöchentlich drei LinkedIn-Beiträge, misst Employer-Branding-KPIs und gibt jede Einstellung persönlich frei. Auf diese Weise schützt er die Kultur, obwohl das Team rasant wächst. Hinzu kommt ein konsequentes Reporting. Jede Woche prüft das People-Team Time-to-Hire, Funnel-Conversion und Cost-per-Hire. Sobald ein Ziel verfehlt wird, reagiert enua sofort – sei es mit neuen Sourcing-Quellen oder angepassten Interviewfragen. Mein Fazit: High Culture Hiring ist ein echter Wachstumsbooster. Wer seine Kultur messbar macht und jede Einstellung an klaren Kriterien ausrichtet, gewinnt den War for Talent – sogar in Nischen wie Medizinalcannabis. Daher solltest du jetzt reinhören, wenn du dein Recruiting auf High-Speed und High-Quality bringen willst. In der Episode bekommst du Alberts komplette Checkliste zum Nachbauen.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what my farm stand has taught me about marketing over the past six weeks—no funnels, no formulas, just real-life strategy that started with a couple of Facebook Marketplace listings and turned into repeat customers, word-of-mouth magic, and a three-figure week.

Habitat Podcast #341 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Co-Host Andy Hutchens talking to Angelo Giannoni. We discuss: Angelo grew up in Chicago, surrounded by a hunting family with a rich outdoor tradition. He owns 45 acres in Northwest Illinois, focusing on habitat improvement for wildlife. Angelo enrolled his property in CRP and forestry programs for income and habitat enhancement. He actively removes invasive species like honeysuckle to improve the understory of his woods. Angelo has planted 6,000 saplings, creating edge and cover for deer movement on his property. He emphasizes the importance of creating diverse habitats for wildlife, not just pristine landscapes. Angelo enjoys sharing his land management experiences and learning from others in the community. He harvested a kudu and other animals on his honeymoon in South Africa, creating lasting memories. Angelo prioritizes camaraderie and conservation in his hunting pursuits, valuing experiences over kills. And So Much More!

When Kevin Wall first stepped into industry from public accounting, it wasn't by accident—it was through a client he already knew well. The company, in the midst of an ERP conversion and preparing to go public, saw in Wall someone who understood both their numbers and their needs. “They were familiar with me. I was familiar with them,” he tells us.That early pivot from audit into operational finance set the tone for a career defined by depth over speed. Wall spent 13 years at Alcatel-Lucent and a decade at FIS, climbing steadily while broadening his remit from general accounting to pricing, FP&A, and global finance operations. His longevity at these firms, he tells us, allowed him to “move and see new things under one roof” while growing his leadership footprint.Today, as CFO of Stax Payments, Wall is again stepping into transformation. The company, which serves over 40,000 SMBs and processes more than $20 billion in volume annually, is preparing to launch its own end-to-end processing engine. Wall's priorities reflect a blend of commercial focus and operational precision: “It's the top of the funnel,” he says, referencing lead generation, “and speed to revenue.”A self-described servant leader, Wall believes in “clearing obstacles” so teams can grow. That mindset also drove a past strategic move—reorganizing finance functions like billing and AP to other departments. It was a bold step, but one grounded in clarity: “Let's really define what we want finance to be,” Wall tells us.
