Ram Krishnan, a seasoned technology executive with a background in systems engineering from UVA, GE leadership, and several SaaS ventures, joined Valant (valant.io) in 2020 to steer the company through its next growth phase.  His team built a “system of record” that serves as the base operating platform for medical practices—handling everything from patient intake, appointment scheduling, and payment collection to clinical documentation, claim submission, and follow‑up care—essentially automating the entire patient lifecycle and positioning the software as the practice's essential OS. His leadership philosophy is anchored by two recurring nuggets: Peter Drucker's maxim that “culture beats strategy for lunch,” and a relentless focus on the core problem being solved, whether in hiring, process design, or technology investments, echoing lean‑startup principles.

In this episode of Scratch, Eric chats with Will Pearson, Co-Founder of Ocean Bottle, the brand turning reusable bottles into vehicles for global impact. One of the biggest takeaways from Will's story is how Ocean Bottle has made impact completely non-negotiable in its business model; every purchase is tied directly to measurable change. Rather than chasing the traditional direct-to-consumer routes, the brand leaned into B2B partnerships as its true growth engine, scaling faster through collaborations like Ed Sheeran's tour than through paid ads. Will also highlights that in a purpose-driven category, the goal isn't to outcompete others but to grow the category as a whole. Ocean Bottle's marketing reflects this mindset, relying on storytelling backed by proof, from the Change Collective initiative to transparent reporting on every kilo of plastic collected. Ultimately, the key learning for marketers is clear: purpose isn't dead; it is evolving. And partnerships are how purpose-led brands grow.Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: [coming soon]

In this episode, Jan Beger, Global Head of AI Advocacy at GE Healthcare, shares his mission to bridge the gap between the conceptual promise and real-world impact of AI in healthcare. He stresses on the critical need to build AI literacy and trust among clinicians, executives, and students, and explains why a human-centric approach and strong change management are critical for successful adoption. Jan highlights GE's global AI literacy programs that train employees and clinicians on responsible use, practical applications, and critical evaluation of AI. He highlights how moving beyond pilots to strategic, systemwide deployment requires continuous education, executive engagement, and a focus on change management. He also spoke about GE's successes such as improved efficiency in software development and innovations like AI-guided handheld ultrasound devices that democratize imaging by supporting users of varied expertise, as well as the challenges of keeping AI tools robust and up-to-date. Jan addresses the future of the workforce, noting that adaptability and tech fluency will be essential as 70% of job skills evolve by 2030. He encourages healthcare leaders to see AI not just as technology, but as a transformative tool to enhance care and outcomes. Take a listen.

Reverse mentoring flips the script, pairing ambitious younger employees with seasoned leaders to share insights on today's hot topics, from tech trends to leadership styles. First popularized by Jack Welch at GE in the '90s, it's now a strategic powerhouse for attracting and retaining young talent. The magic happens when the right pairs are formed—think introverts with extroverts—to spark dynamic conversations. Engaging mentees in the process is key, as addressing any fears about crossing hierarchical lines lays the groundwork for trust. Without commitment, even the best matches can fizzle out. The perks are hard to ignore: Companies with reverse mentoring programs report a 72% boost in communication and an impressive 96% retention rate for younger employees. Participants leave feeling empowered, fostering innovation and keeping leaders in tune with market shifts. Plus, it amplifies diversity and inclusion by shedding light on workplace challenges. Take BNY Mellon, where the program has deepened connections and encouraged leaders to seek employee input. Others, like Estée Lauder and British Airways, have tapped into reverse mentoring to drive culture change and dismantle barriers. In short, reverse mentoring is a two-way street, turning the wisdom of experience into fresh perspectives that invigorate the workplace.

Two companies bid to become the Brand New Air Traffic Control System prime integrator, FAA issues carry-on SAFO, 737 MAX production limits eased, P&W and GE adaptive cycle engines, Sikorsky contract for CH-53K helicopters, and Sergei Sikorsky passes away at age 100. Aviation News Two bidders vie to be project manager of massive FAA US air traffic overhaul Two bids to become the prime integrator in the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system have been received. Congress has approved $12.5 billion for the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The bids come from two DC Beltway companies: Peraton is a national security company owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. See the press release: Peraton Offers the FAA a Brand New Approach for Its Revolutionary ATC Modernization Initiative. Parsons Corporation is a technology provider in national security and global infrastructure markets. Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, Parsons confirmed it has bid with IBM. The FAA says it will make a selection by the end of October. FAA urges airlines to discourage passengers from taking bags during evacuations The FAA issued Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO 25003, PDF) titled “Addressing Risk Associated with Passenger Non-Compliance and Retention of Carry-On Baggage and Personal Items During Emergency Evacuations.” The SAFO “Serves to emphasize the operational and safety-critical importance of strict passenger compliance with crewmember instructions during emergency evacuations. Specifically, it addresses the adverse effects of passengers attempting to evacuate with carry-on items, which can significantly impede evacuation procedures and increase the potential for injury or fatality.” FAA Signals Easing of Oversight on Boeing Jets The FAA is expecting to restore Boeing's ability to conduct safety sign-offs on new 737 MAX jets. Final airworthiness certificates will continue to be issued by the regulator The FAA is also considering increasing Boeing's 737 MAX production cap from 38 to 42 planes per month. Engines for America's F-47 Sixth Gen Combat Aircraft Coming Together Faster Than Expected The F-47 is being developed as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) Family of Systems. It's a stealthy air superiority aircraft that can directly engage adversaries on the ground and in the air. It will be able to fly itself as well as collaborate with and control wingman drones. The propulsion system being developed under the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program is a concept that offers two modes of operation, which can be dynamically adjusted in flight: high thrust and high speed, and lower thrust with reduced fuel burn. Adaptive cycle engines can modulate the bypass ratio and fan pressure using a third air stream and advanced variable geometry components. Both Pratt & Whitney and General Electric are developing NGAP engines. Airbus, Air France reject blame over AF447 crash, 16 years on Air France 447 crashed in the Atlantic in 2009. In a 2023 trial, the judge found acts of negligence by Airbus and Air France, but determined that, under French criminal law, these acts were insufficient to establish a definitive link to the loss of the A330. Both Airbus and Air France were cleared of corporate manslaughter. In an appeals hearing, the two companies pleaded not guilty. Air France and Airbus chief executives recognized the suffering of the families, but denied any criminal responsibility for the crash. Appeal hearings are expected to run until late November 2025. Sikorsky to Build 99 CH-53K King Stallions for the U.S. Marine Corps Sikorsky announced the award of a $10.8 billion contract from the U.S. Navy to build up to 99 CH-53K King Stallion helicopters for the U.S. Marine Corps over the next five years.

Soykırımcı barbar Netanyahu'nun BM Genel Kurulu'nda konuşma yapmaya çıktığı esnada dolu görünen salonun bir anda protesto kastıyla boşalmaya başlaması, soykırımcı İsrail'in iki yıldır sergilediği barbarlığa karşı dünya kamuoyunun en açık mesajı. Geçtiğimiz yıl aynı kürsüde yine Netanyahu kendisini dinleyenlere en kibirli ve küstah haliyle bir Siyonist manifesto okumuş, kendine göre dost ve düşman ülkeleri yeniden tanımlamış, tasnif etmişti. Enteresan olan, geçtiğimiz yıl dost kategorisine almış olduğu ülkelerin de neredeyse tamamına yakını onun konuşmasına sırtlarını dönmüş, salonu terk ederek tepkilerini göstermiş olması...

Geçen hafta BM'de üye ülkelerin bir araya geldiği ve dünyada sorunların konuşulduğu önemli bir hafta oldu. BM bir yandan, küresel sorunların, çatışmaların, iklim değişikliğinin, insan hakları gibi konuların gündeme getirildiği bir alan olurken diğer yandan BM'nin sorunları çözememesi ve aktif rol oynamaması nedeniyle ağır eleştirilerin yükseldiği bir platform oldu.

İtalya'da köpeklere turist vergisi tartışması Emin: [0:49] İtalya'nın kuzeyindeki Bolzano eyaletinde köpekler için gecelik 1.5 avro turist vergisi getirilmesi planı hayvan hakları savunucularının tepkisini çekti. Hayvan hakları grupları bu öneriyi tam bir delilik olarak nitelendirdi. Öneriye göre eyaleti ziyaret eden köpeklerin sahiplerinden gecelik 1.5 avro alınacak. Bolzano'da yaşayan yerli köpek sahipleri için yıllık 100 avro vergi öngörülüyor. Yerel yetkililer toplanacak gelirin bir kısmının sokakların köpek dışkısından temizlenmesine ve yeni köpek parklarının yapımına harcanacağını belirtiyor. Geçen yıl ise köpek sahiplerine hayvanlarına DNA testi yaptırma zorunluluğu getirilmiş ancak uygulama başarısız olmuştu.

54 yıldır kapalı olan "Heybeliada Ruhban Okulu" yeniden açılabilir. Cumhurbaşkanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, ABD Başkanı Donald Trump'la Beyaz Saray'daki görüşmesinde “bu konuda üzerimize ne düşerse yapmaya hazırız" dedi. Amerika dönüşünde, Fener Rum Patriği Bartholomeos ile görüşeceğini söyledi. Geçtiğimiz aylarda Milli Eğitim Bakanı Yusuf Tekin, “Yol haritamızı hazırlamak için okulu ziyaret ettik, teknik hazırlığımızı tamamladık ve raporladık. Bana açılsın talimatı verilirse açabiliriz” demişti. Süreçte en kritik konu, okulun nasıl bir statüyle açılacağı. Kayıttayız'da yakın zamanda açılması beklenen Ruhban Okulu konusu masaya yatırıldı.

Some people ask, "Why doesn't God just kill all the bad people so we can have a good world?" Well, these chapters in Genesis give us our answer. Even though the flood eliminated all the bad people on earth, leaving only one family alive, it was only a matter of a short time afterwards that evil was expressed, and human society was again corrupted (Ge 9:20-24; 11:1-9). This shows that every human, even someone as good as Noah, carries within ourselves a spiritual "disease" which is involuntarily passed on from parent to child. These inner forces were released by Adam and Eve's rebellion against God. The old theological term for this inherited tendency to ungodliness is called "original sin." It doesn't mean we're being punished for what Adam and Eve did, but it means that the rebellious, selfish and independent attitudes in our first parents have been passed on to all of us. We've caught their disease, and as a result, each of us commits our own sins that bring upon us death and hardship. We could call this disease Adam-itis because it's a spiritual infection contracted from our first human parents. Its presence within us is something we need to realize is there. If I understand I have the disease, then I can properly apply God's cure.

Former EOS implementer, author, and manufacturing CEO Michael Erath joins me to explore what happens when business frameworks turn from liberators into cages—and how elite organizations escape the trap.Rigid systems like EOS can bring chaos under control, but stop short of greatness. Michael and I dig into why prescriptive “20 tools forever” models break down at scale, how to design for outcomes instead of checklists, and why A-player imposters cost more than missed A-players. We unpack the dangers of short-term cost cutting (Intel, GE), the overlooked genius of Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints, and why profit-per-X clarity beats generic “best practices.”The theme running through it: systems should serve people and outcomes, not the other way around. Elite organizations don't settle for “not that bad”—they build adaptive frameworks, measure the right constraint, and pursue excellence with discipline.TL;DR* Systems ≠ salvation: EOS and similar tools help kill chaos but cap out at mediocrity.* Mechanical vs. organic: Treat processes like machines when possible, but don't ignore the living, adaptive side of organizations.The A-player trap: The costliest errors are (1) losing true A-players, and (2) mistaking B-players for A-players.* Constraint clarity: TOC says find the one constraint—fixing it yields immediate profit, unlike slow checklist efficiency.* Profit per X: Identify the metric tied to your real constraint (throughput, calendar days, etc.) and align decisions around it.* Outcomes over inputs: Define every role by its most critical outcome, not by tasks or titles.Memorable lines* “Most systems are built for chaos-to-decent. Elite requires more.”* “Don't pay A-player salaries for B-player conformity.”* “World-class accounts payable never made anyone strategic.”* “Profit per X isn't a spreadsheet trick—it's a spotlight on your real constraint.”GuestMichael Erath — Former manufacturing CEO, EOS implementer turned founder of his own operating framework, and author of Five Obsessions of Elite Organizations.https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelerath1/http://www.fiveobsessions.comWhy This MattersBusinesses chasing short-term fixes or worshipping rigid frameworks stay stuck at “good enough.” The path to excellence is clarity: knowing your real constraint, aligning outcomes at every level, and designing systems that bend with your people instead of breaking them. If you want organizations that outlast hype cycles and downturns, trade dogma for discipline.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

L'Hotel Euroestars va acollir divendres la Nit del Pubillatge en l'acte de proclamació que va nomenar Joan Marc Arnau i Geòrgia Cosialls, representants de l'Agrupació de Balls Populars de Sitges, Hereu i Pubilla de Sitges 2025. Per primera vegada a la història Pubilla i Hereu són representants de la mateixa entitat. L'acte va començar celebrant els deu anys de la presència d'Hereu al municipi amb la participació de qui va ser el primer Hereu de Sitges 2014, Josep Van Gorkom, i posteriorment Hereu de Catalunya 2015. Tot seguit l'Hereu sortint, Xavi Molina, va acomiadar-se del càrrec amb un discurs punyent on Molina va mencionar haver patit assetjament i va denunciar la mala gestió de l'assumpte per part dels responsables. Durant el discurs Molina va parlar també d'altres problemàtiques presents en el jovent.També va voler tancar l'any de pubillatge el president de Foment de Sitges, David Rossell, que va incidir en el respecte com a valor prioritari en el pubillatge.A continuació es va dur a terme la proclamació de l'Hereu i Pubilla d'enguany fruit del veredicte del jurat present dijous passat durant la prova teòrica i oral que van realitzar les onze candidates a pubilla i els cinc candidats a hereu. Els elegits van ser els dos representants de l'Agrupació de Balls Populars de Sitges, Joan Marc Arnau i Geòrgia Cosialls. L'entrada Geòrgia Cosialls i Joan Marc Arnau, Pubilla i Hereu de Sitges 2025 i doblet de l’Agrupa ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Do you feel like the stock market is a game rigged against everyday people? Maybe you've tried dabbling in stocks, only to be overwhelmed with emotions, paralyzed by indecision, or burned by losses. Why do some investors consistently win while most struggle to even get started? And what if the key to building wealth isn't luck—or insider knowledge—but a proven system that takes the guesswork out of investing?Enter Sean Tepper. Sean is the Founder and CEO of Tykr, a platform empowering over 12,000 customers across 50+ countries to confidently navigate the stock market. His journey reflects a deep understanding of both business and investment, honed over 20+ years in the corporate world and 15+ years dedicated to building wealth. He built and successfully merged a thriving agency in the 2000s, followed by a decade (2011–2023) as a highly sought-after project management consultant for industry giants like GE, Kohler, Kohl's, and Direct Supply.What makes Sean unique is not just his experience, but his passion for making financial literacy accessible to all. In 2016, he created a simple Excel-based investment tool that generated over 15% returns for himself. By 2020, he transformed it into Tykr, a sophisticated yet user-friendly software platform designed to take emotions out of investing and empower people to grow wealth with confidence.In this episode, Sean shares how he went from corporate consultant to entrepreneur, why most traders fail while investors succeed, and the principles behind Tykr that can help you achieve greater financial freedom—and a more fulfilling life.Quotes:“People really want more than anything, and you hit on the word, which is confidence—they want the ability to know what stocks to look for, what to avoid. It's literally the rest your head on your pillow at night and sleep better than you ever had before.”“Let us not become weary in doing good, because at the right time, you will reap a harvest if you don't give up. If you're providing value and there are people that are verbally saying thank you, or like you're seeing people that are getting results, but you've got no fruit out of it—not yet—keep doing it.”“It's the little steps. There's too many people set like, these massive goals, and then if they don't hit it, they're disappointed and disappointed stop. It's the little steps, that's what you want to chip away at.”Key Takeaways:Invest, don't trade → Ask yourself: are you trying to “get rich quick” by trading, or building long-term wealth through disciplined investing? 99% of traders lose money—investors win by letting their money work for them.Focus beats diversification (at first) → Instead of spreading thin across dozens of stocks, concentrate on 10–15 strong businesses if you're in growth mode. Diversification is for wealth protection later, not wealth building now.Use math, not emotions → Before making your next investment move, ask: Am I reacting emotionally, or am I following a proven system?

Chris Ricobono walked into garment makers all over the fashion district in New York and no one would make an off spec shirt for him. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick in business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Pinpoint Payments Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple. And we're talking about empires being built and fortunes being made and brands being established and something different happening. And you mentioned the theme for today's show. The topic is a shirt brand called Untuck it. Stephen Semple: Untuck it, Dave Young: And I am a little familiar with them. Number one, Stephen Semple: Oh my God, a fashion brand that Dave's a little bit familiar with. Dave Young: Oh, I own two of them. I have two shirts. And I feel like I'm responsible for the brand. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: I'm just that kind of guy that my torso is the weird length and I cannot for the life of me keep a shirt tucked in. So years ago, I quit trying, unless I'm going to be in a tuxedo with a cummerbund that tightens that up. I'm like, you're not going to find me in a tucked in shirt because it'll untuck itself. So I've always embraced the idea of buy shirts that look good, whether they're tucked in or not, and Untuck It actually created dress shirts. Stephen Semple: Yes, sir. Dave Young: That you don't tuck in. You've got quite enough tail to be tucked in. So I'm interested in how they got their start. And I bought my two shirts from an actual Untuck store in a mall in Portland, Oregon. Stephen Semple: There you go. Yeah. Dave Young: So I think I know where you're headed with this, the experience. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Today they have, I think they're approaching 90 stores now today, and they also now have got a women's line and of course a major strong online presence. But it was founded by Chris Ricobono and Aaron Sendez in Hoboken, New Jersey in 2010. And they are, as you said, a shirt designed to be worn untucked. And in fact, their early ads featured Chris basically walking down the road talking about how this is what he wanted to create. And they're kind of funny actually. If you go look at them, they're a great origin story. And he's walking down the street in New Jersey and he has this unbelievably serious tone to him about how he wanted to fix this whole shirt problem. And that actually in the early days, David Letterman and Colbert and whatnot were making fun of these ads, which he loved. Like, "Hey, I'm getting some free press here." But yeah, go and check them out on YouTube. Kind of great. I can really understand why those ads work. So Chris grew up in New Jersey and he took finance and college, and he was actually always really nervous about corporate America. He was worried about his career. And so his whole idea was he was going to get a job, but while he got the job, he was going to look for what the next thing was going to be. So he was always looking for the next idea. And he was nervous in corporate America because he wasn't good in crowds, and he wasn't good with spreadsheets and he wasn't good with socializing. So he always sort of felt like he was an outsider there And eventually got a job being a salesperson and medical devices for GE. And he was there for about 10 years, but he knew he was never going to be long-term. And while he was at GE, he did an MBA at Columbia and it stimulated a lot of ideas for him, and he knew he needed to get an idea.

Leaders often assume transformation comes from learning new skills or following the latest management trend. But real change begins when we confront our own beliefs, reflect deeply, and choose to step out of victimhood into agency. That inner work is what lays the foundation for lasting growth in how we lead and live. Only then can leaders create change that resonates far beyond the workplace.In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Shawn Quinn talk about the deep reflection leaders need to build their own reality and move from victimhood to agency in life and leadership.Shawn Quinn is the Managing Partner of Lift Consulting and Faculty Director of the Positive Leadership program at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. A leading voice in positive leadership and organizational transformation, he has advised global companies including GE, Coca-Cola, American Express, and the U.S. Army. Shawn is also co-author of Leading Innovation: How to Jumpstart Your Organization's Growth Engine.Shawn and Ashish explored how transformation doesn't come from another training, another framework, or another leadership fad. It happens when we pause, reflect, and face the beliefs that hold us back.Things you will also learn in this episode:• Breaking free from a victim mindset• Why belief shifts matter more than skills in true transformation• The power of small experiments, reflection, and awareness to spark change• How leaders at any level—not just executives—can create meaningful impact• How workplace behaviors ripple outward into family, children, and community• The challenge of systems and people resisting changeTune in now and see for yourself how this shift unlocks the kind of transformation no trend or tactic can deliver.✅Resources:• Related episode: (Robert Quinn) https://player.captivate.fm/episode/1b7c5df6-06e1-4929-83d3-5849caa6b9b5 • Strengthsfinder by Gallup: https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/254033/strengthsfinder.aspx • A Fundamental State of Leadership Approach: https://scholar.valpo.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1444&context=jvbl • Charles Snyder's Hope Theory: https://www.mindtools.com/aov3izj/snyders-hope-theory • The Sunflower Model: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/ee784c9c-cf26-48df-b07f-b4c0dcc638f3 • The Sunflower Model: https://happinesssquad.com/the-sunflower-model-career-transition-guide-with-ashish-kothari/ • The Power of the 5:1 Ratio: https://michiganvirtual.org/blog/the-power-of-the-51-ratio-in-the-classroom-how-fostering-positive-interactions-can-transform-student-learning/ • Martin Seligman's Learned Helplessness:

Josh Howell, LEI President, and Mark Reich, LEI Chief Engineer Strategy, talk with Rich Calvaruso, Senior Director of the Lean Management Office for GE Appliances. Rich — with GE for 36 years and the leader of GE Appliances' continuous improvement (CI) group for 15 of those years — has been instrumental in driving lean thinking and practice for the company. He says the purpose of his group is to “develop people and improve process at the same time.”  GE Appliances started its first lean activities in 2005, says Rich, and applied lean to a model line and got good results that impressed leadership. This was at a time when the company was using overseas contract manufacturers and concluded that in addition to designing products they needed to again make things back in the U.S.   In 2009 GE Appliances began to build back its U.S. manufacturing capability and reshore products to Louisville, KY. “[After] two years of planning, we launched that first plant. It did not go as great as you'd want from a launch standpoint,” Rich concedes. “But, I think, in retrospect, it was about as good as we could have done, considering the fact that we had lost a lot of capability over the years in this space, and we were having to build that back. You can build a plant and bring a product back, but there's a lot more that goes into manufacturing than the product and the building.”  From that humbling restart as a lean manufacturer, GE Appliances proceeded to become the No. 1 appliance maker in the U.S. Each time the company reshored a product, it took actions to continuously get better. “We tried to get our costs right. We tried to get our quality right. We tried to get our lead times down,” says Rich. “We are a U.S. manufacturer that supplies our products to the U.S. market. So for us, making products close to the customer is super important because shipping this stuff around the world is tough.” Rich likes the LEI-coined term of “leanshoring,” because “you're not just bringing back what you lost. You have to do it differently. You have to think about it differently.”   Rich also tells Josh and Jeff that:  Kaizen events are beneficial and do provide change and learning, but they lack the “stickiness” to change culture and leave a lot of people out of lean capability development. GE Appliances moved from events to systems, such as standardized work and how to improve the work, and focused on getting results and developing capabilities of people across production.  Leader lean capabilities were developed at the company through the Immersion training program for senior leaders and plant managers. “It was humbling for them,” says Rich. “We made them experience the work of a team member on the line. It created some empathy. But also they go to see not only how the tool works but the whole social aspect of how you make change.”  Those trying to spread lean broader throughout their organizations have to have perseverance and expect some things won't go as planned. Rich encourages those supporting lean to “learn as much as you can and do as much as you can... Go do it with them. If you really want to spread this, go find somebody who has a business problem and partner up with them and try to solve it together. That's the best way to get people on board.”  He looks for certain characteristics for those on his CI team: “You don't have to know really anything about the lean toolset or lean thinking, but you do have to be humble and you have to be a learner. If you have those two characteristics, I'll hire you. Then we'll basically put you out on the floor and start to teach you the process, and it takes a while.”   Want to take these ideas further?   Go beyond the page and see lean leadership in action. The Lean Leadership Learning Tour (Nov. 10–13, 2025) takes you inside Toyota, GE Appliances, and Summit Polymers to witness real-world problem-solving, leadership development, and transformation at scale.

Be My Burning Guest I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends; drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.” Last week, we learned: "Of all the righteous ones of Scripture, Avraham and Sarah were the best known for hospitality to strangers, especially when they received the three angels. (So 5:1) Good gardening is good hospitality to the voice of Adonai, His holy Presence. Because human beings, particularly believers walking in the Way of Yeshua, are in His image, practicing hospitality toward people of faith is an especially sweet fruit of the Ruach HaKodesh." Hospitality prepares us to be a part of the Garden of Eden conversation in the Scripture above. We can both invite the Bridegroom hospitably and remain in the Garden because we possess the vital character of hospitality without which a human cannot remain in the Garden. We can be a worthy guest...and friend...who will bless the Garden. To get a better handle on this trait, let's take a careful look at what hospitality is. What does the word mean? Hospitality: Middle English hospital, "residence for pilgrims and travelers, charitable institution providing residence for the poor and infirm," "guest accommodations" (probably by ellipsis from hospit?le cubiculum "sleeping room for guests"), noun derivative of hospit?lis "of a guest, of hospitality, hospitable” The Hebrew word for “guest” is kara ????? The KJV translates Strong's H7121 in the following manner: call (528x), cried (98x), read (38x), proclaim (36x), named (7x), guests (4x), invited (3x), gave (3x), renowned (3x), bidden (2x), preach (2x) Outline of Biblical Usage to call, call out, recite, read, cry out, proclaim (Qal) to call, cry, utter a loud sound to call unto, cry (for help), call (with name of God) to proclaim to read aloud, read (to oneself), read to summon, invite, call for, call and commission, appoint to call, name, give name to, call by The Book of Leviticus is "Vayikra" ["and called"], a book of holies, our calling to create a sanctuary of holiness for YHVH. This hospitality “preaches” His Presence to the earth and His desire to dwell with us. The Torah describes to us our holy "calling." Not only that, Adonai listens to the cries / proclamations of human beings, especially the poor and distressed. Somewhere in this world, your name can be proclaimed to Heaven, either in frustration, agony, and pain, or in gratefulness, relief, and consolation. How this works is that the needy “give name to” the situation in that home or community. A guest can “summon” Adonai's attention for blessing or chaos. He will actually come investigate the call for Divine help or proclamation of gratefulness! • Now the LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day. When he raised his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed down to the ground, and said, “My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass Your servant by. Please let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and make yourselves comfortable under the tree; and I will bring a piece of bread, so that you may refresh yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have visited your servant.” (Ge 18:1-5) Avraham understood what a special opportunity he had. Without a guest, who would bless? Righteous guests are given a Divine mandate to bless or destroy a home. It's an apocalyptic opportunity symbolic of the end of days. Washing feet and providing a safe place to rest with food is the ancient practice of hospitality to guests, especially honored guests. Yeshua told his disciples to honor one another, not a new commandment, but an affirmation and demonstration of an old pattern of hospitality.

Marcus welcomes Rob Israch, President of Tipalti – a late-stage, fast-growth SaaS company in the finance sector. Rob shares his extensive experience from NetSuite, Intuit, and GE, detailing his unique journey from marketing to president, and the "fun ups and downs and pitfalls" of scaling a global business. The discussion delves into the critical aspects of building and leading a company through various growth phases, adapting to market changes, fostering effective communication, and understanding what truly drives sustainable success in a rapidly evolving economic landscape. Key Discussion Points: From Marketer to President Rob's background as a marketer and his career trajectory from CMO to President at Tipalti. The importance of embracing "grey space" – taking on challenges beyond one's immediate job scope and being willing to learn. Why getting results, being humble, and executing, even on "unsexy things," are crucial for career advancement. Advice for CMOs Aspiring to Leadership The necessity for marketers to be analytical, capable of marrying creativity with metrics, and speaking the language of finance and the board. Avoiding sounding "too much like a marketer" by focusing on truth-finding and problem-solving with numbers, rather than just storytelling. The Evolution of a Scaled Business: Tipalti's Journey Insights into Tipalti's growth from 25 employees to over 1,000 in 11 years. Changes in hiring, talent acquisition, and leadership skills needed at different stages of growth. The increasing importance of communication and alignment as a company scales. The Critical Role of Middle Management The immense impact of a strong middle management layer on a successful operation. The challenge of selecting the right leaders, maintaining a high bar, and knowing when to promote from within versus bringing in outside talent. Detecting leaders who "talk a good game but can't actually get results". Operating Rhythms and Communication at Scale The necessity of formalising company values and mission as a business grows, moving past initial cynicism. Examples of operating rhythms, including quarterly leadership offsites, cross-functional business leader meetings, and CEO roundtables. The importance of one-to-one conversations and cross-functional SWAT teams to break down silos in larger organisations. Detecting Hidden Issues (Rot Under the Floorboards) Using a balanced scorecard as a metric system to avoid people gaming a single goal and to gain comprehensive insights. The value of early indicators and actively listening to employees and customers to uncover problems not captured by metrics. What Investors Should Ask (But Rarely Do) The need for investors to dig deeper into a company's identity, target market segments, and differentiators to understand the "why" behind the metrics. Dangers of Misguided Scaling Assumptions The common mistake of assuming that simply hiring "top talent" from prestigious backgrounds will solve all issues, without considering their fit and ability to adapt and execute at all levels. The continuous need for leaders to adapt and evolve every six months as the business changes. Holistic Business Growth vs. Deal Momentum Theatre Protecting against "deal momentum theatre" where new wins are celebrated, but cash flow, retention, and loyalty lag. The shift towards a healthy, holistic approach with happy, advocating customers as the most profitable way to grow, even if it feels uncomfortable. How Tipalti re-emphasised customer centricity through values, committees, and new metrics when growth challenged earlier informal approaches. Regrets in Institutionalising Processes Regretting a period of too much focus on new business conversion at the expense of the entire customer lifecycle. The tricky balance between investing in product vision and addressing immediate customer needs. Balancing Investor Pressure with SaaS Reinvestment The importance of a smart LTV to CAC model to balance short-term gains with long-term sustainability and profitability. LTV to CAC as a filter that guides investment decisions and helps communicate strategy to investors. Rethinking Customer Health: NPS vs. Net Value Score Rob's advocacy for NPS as a humbling and valuable metric for customer-centric culture, though acknowledging its limitations in directly linking to business results and long-term value. Marcus introduces his concept of a Net Value Score which ties customer outcomes directly to revenue retention and margin for a more honest and predictable measure of future relationship value. Loyalty as the North Star The distinction between renewal, repeat purchases, and customer loyalty. Loyalty as the ultimate aspiration for a business, which naturally drives the other two, and serves as a vital "North Star" for employee motivation. Systematising Referrals and Customer Expansion (GoToBase) Using data science and data mining to correlate customer behaviors with LTV to CAC, expansion rates, and product usage. The observation that customer expansion and "GoToBase" motions are often immature in many organisations, with a heavy focus on new logos. The argument that referrals should be a systematised engine, not an accident, and that happy customers are the foundation. Adapting to the New Economic Reality and the Power of Trust The shift from an environment of cheap money and growth at all costs to one demanding profitability and sustainable metrics. The need for go-to-market leadership to adapt or be replaced, with increased importance of customer success, account management, and marketing/channel functions. In an age of decreasing trust due to AI and media, companies that build around trust within their customer and partner base will thrive, making trust a powerful, measurable "operating system" and "North Star". Rob's Best Mistake: Being naive and taking chances in "grey spaces," which doesn't always work out but consistently leads to valuable learning and experience.

Get updates for my new book: https://Theperfectportfoliobook.com  -----  AI has fueled massive gains for Big Tech, but can one sector really carry the market forever?  In this episode, I'm joined by Callie Cox, Chief Market Strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management, to explore the tension between Wall Street's AI-fueled optimism and the realities of a slowing economy. We discuss what history teaches us about dominant companies, how to spot the difference between hype and durable innovation, and what long-term investors should really be watching. Listen now and learn: ► Why “the stock market is not the economy” — and why that matters in today's AI-driven rally. ► How concentrated earnings growth in tech creates both opportunity and risk. ► What history (GE, dot-coms) tells us about the limits of dominant companies. ► Which sectors beyond Big Tech could quietly benefit from AI adoption.   Visit www.TheLongTermInvestor.com for show notes, free resources, and a place to submit questions.

It's week “zero” of college football this weekend. BYU has selected a Catholic QB. Marco Rubio says Trump is “the president of peace.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt gives an update to the press that Trump was still talking to European leaders at 2 a.m. and pushes back on reporters' claims on Russia. Pat is now on a crusade over how to say “Putin” and other mispronounced words. Chewing the Fat: Hurricane Erin is not projected to make land in the U.S., a measles outbreak in Texas has been declared over, and Walmart is recalling "radioactive" shrimp. Leavitt explains why we will now have a co-deputy director of the FBI. Why is a U.S. warship headed for Venezuela? Trump wants to bring peace so that he can get into heaven, and the media predictably freak out. Kristi Noem heads down to the border to announce that the border wall will now be painted black. Boston mayor sings protest song at rally against ending sanctuary cities. Are Crumbl Cookies linked to serious health issues? Kris takes a shot at making his own cookies.
