My guest today is John Zito. John is the Co-President of Apollo Global Management. He shares how they've quietly built one of the most important financial institutions of our time, originating over $250 billion annually. John's thesis on the convergence of private and public markets - and Apollo's positioning to capture 100% of client portfolios rather than just alternatives allocations - offers a fascinating glimpse into where institutional investing is heading.

Finding Purpose Through Passion: Sarah's Journey into Hairdressing In this heartfelt episode, Michael D. Levitt sits down with his daughter, Sarah, to explore the winding paths we take in our careers and the passions that fuel them. Sarah shares how a visit to a Florida cosmetology school during a trip to see her grandmother sparked a lifelong interest in hair styling. That moment planted a seed that would later grow into a full-blown calling — one that she's now pursuing at barber school. Michael reflects on his own unexpected career path, tracing it back to his childhood fascination with baseball cards, which eventually led to a successful career in accounting. In a candid moment, he opens up about the personal toll of his divorce and its impact on his family, offering a message of hope and healing for anyone navigating life's tougher chapters. From Setbacks to Comebacks: The Grit Behind Sarah's Hairdressing Career Sarah takes us behind the scenes of her journey into the hair industry — a path filled with obstacles including financial constraints, educational hurdles, and challenges in workplace dynamics. Despite these setbacks, Sarah's unwavering determination helped her earn her credentials and build real-world experience across salons and barbershops. When she faced difficulties transferring her Canadian license to the U.S. and finding stable opportunities in her new environment, Sarah didn't give up. Instead, she doubled down on her passion and remains focused on reigniting her career in the States. Her story is a powerful reminder that growth often begins in the trenches. Grief, Growth, and the Power of Dreams: Honoring a Grandmother's Legacy The loss of her beloved grandmother — her best friend and biggest supporter — became a turning point for Sarah. Rather than giving in to grief, she chose to channel her emotions into a meaningful goal: becoming a hair stylist. Enrolling in barber school became both a healing journey and a way to honor her grandmother's legacy. Now, a year later, Sarah is back in the U.S., diploma in hand and hope in her heart. Her transformation is a testament to the power of purpose, even in the midst of profound personal loss. Resilience, Passion, and Clarity in Career Choices Michael highlights the resilience Sarah has shown throughout her journey — something he sees as a vital ingredient in long-term career success. Together, they discuss the stability and creative fulfillment the hair industry can offer, especially during economic uncertainty. Michael encourages Sarah to stay aligned with her passion, trusting that the right path will reveal itself through self-reflection, creativity, and deep listening. Whether it's behind the chair or in another meaningful direction, Sarah's journey is far from over — it's just getting started. Instagram:  https://Instagram.com/Hairtasticbysarahhhhh

The AI arms race is a head fake. Tom Chavez, Founding General Partner at super{set}, shares his expertise as a serial entrepreneur who has built companies acquired by Salesforce and Microsoft.

From Blue Collar Roots to Boardroom Success: Intrapreneurship, Culture, and Growth with Ken Rusk In this powerful episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sit down with Ken Rusk, author of Blue Collar Cash, to explore how alignment, action, and authentic leadership can transform both lives and businesses. Ken shares his incredible journey—from a blue-collar background to building a thriving franchise organization—grounded in the philosophy of intrapreneurship and a deep commitment to his employees' futures. We discuss why businesses excel when individual and organizational goals are aligned, creating what I call a synergistic momentum that fuels performance and retention. I also reflect on my time leading teams in the Asset Management division for Fortune 500 clients. We implemented a unique collaborative debriefing strategy that brought together cross-project teams, fostering camaraderie and making team members more agile and interchangeable. This approach not only increased efficiency but also drew the attention of global leadership for its impact on client growth without the need for added consultants. Ken and I dive into the critical role of employee development and cultural growth. He underscores the importance of helping employees visualize their goals and stay motivated within an organization that values and nurtures their ambitions. I expand on how culture isn't just an internal function—it's something customers feel. A thriving culture strengthens an organization's resilience and ability to navigate disruption. Ken's bestselling book Blue Collar Cash—inspired by letters he wrote to his daughter during a health crisis—has unexpectedly become a blueprint for corporate teams aiming to build stronger, more connected workforces. It's now used in team-building and leadership development programs across the country. We wrap up with a focus on entrepreneurial growth through action. Ken and I align on this simple truth: growth doesn't come from theory—it comes from action. Whether you're reading a book, taking a course, or listening to this podcast, the key is to implement, not just absorb. Ken also invites listeners to visit kenrusk.com to learn more about his book, online course, and consulting services designed to empower individuals and teams. Book:  Blue Collar Cash

How much farther could you be if you stopped waiting for the “perfect” moment and just started?In this episode, I reflect on my own life and share why waiting for the right time can cost you more than you think.Let's break the cycle of perfectionism and discover the powerful momentum that comes from taking action, one imperfect step at a time.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:1. Waiting Has a Hidden Cost: When you hesitate, you're not just missing out on opportunities—you're piling up missed chances on top of the ones already lost. Opportunity cost stacks up quickly when you're waiting to be “ready.”2. Action Beats Preparation: The biggest differentiator between those who achieve their dreams and those who don't is simple—action. There will never be a perfect time, so moving forward always trumps staying stuck in preparation.3. Progress Is Made One Step at a Time: You don't need to leap the whole distance at once. Take baby steps consistently; each small move adds up, and before you know it, the progress will surprise you—just keep moving forward. Master Your Journey

Psalm 1:1–3Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.Galatians 6:9 – 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.Romans 12:1–2 – Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Hebrews 10:24–25 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.5.

To celebrate 10 years of the English with Kirsty podcast, I'm creating a 10-part series to celebrate 10 different forms that learning can take. There will also be an online networking event for guests and listeners to come together on the podcast's birthday in July 2025.Part five of the series is about the kind of practical learning that comes from taking action, saying “yes” to new opportunities, bringing about change in our life or business, or putting into practice skills that we've been learning.I brought back some of my good friends, Patrícia, Maria, and Marta,  whom you first met in an episode last year. We have all experienced change – whether that's the career change that led to us starting our businesses, decisions to offer new services, ways to step out of our comfort zones and become more visible as business owners, or moving through the stages that bring life to new ideas.We talked about – among other things: Something that we have done that is new or that brought about change in our business Sometimes the first step is to define the change that we want to see – how can we do this? Ways we've become more visible as business owners or started new things – why we did it and who or what helped us Steps we can take to make implementing changes or starting new things easier – how to break down the task or find the right support What we can do to give our new ideas a chance – setting deadlines or choosing which ideas come first The need for resilience and consistency – don't expect overnight success with new plans! Thanks everyone for being so honest and generous with your insights.Do you have any tips or comments to add?Visit the show notes page here: https://englishwithkirsty.com/episode277/

The landscape has been changing from brown to green, and for the casual observers, most of that fresh green color is often largely attributed to grass growth. But it might not all be what it seems. Much of that new green growth, particularly in the wetter habitats may not be grasses but sedges, a group of plants that are not well known.

Benjamin Shapiro and Matthew McGrory, Co-founder and CEO of Arwen AI, tackle a strategic question facing modern marketers: when launching an AI-powered social media strategy, should brands prioritize algorithmic optimization or influencer partnerships? Matthew leans toward influencer relationships, arguing that human endorsements carry more weight than trying to game ever-evolving platform algorithms. Benjamin offers a balanced view, framing influencers as a short-term growth lever and algorithmic strategies as a long-term brand asset—comparing it to the difference between paid media and SEO. They also explore the broader definition of influence, highlighting how founders, customers, and even case studies can serve as powerful credibility boosters.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Colin Hirdman, the antidote to automated mediocrity. As a lifelong entrepreneur and co-founder of Monkey Island Ventures, he has spent two decades scaling SaaS tools, digital agencies, and now Rainmaker – a ‘white-glove’ service that ethically automates LinkedIn outreach to turn connections into revenue. Colin discusses Rainmaker’s ‘Authentic Engine’ framework: 10-30% connection rates, campaigns tailored to micro-audiences, and why human-driven strategies still dominate AI in B2B growth. As well as why he targets 25 people/day — and how even solo founders can replicate this, the ‘criminal justice grad’ who turned entrepreneur, accidently and sold his first startup days after college, and LinkedIn’s automation guardrails: What’s ‘ethical’ vs. what gets you banned. KEY TAKEAWAYS I’ve done a lot of growth hacking through email and LinkedIn, but I got better results through LinkedIn and ended up building out a software and process for myself. Rainmaker was born through me making it available to other businesses. But, you don’t need me or rainmaker to do any of the things we discuss on this podcast, you can do it manually. You have to be authentic on LinkedIn, both as yourself as well as the brands you represent. You should also have an educational mindset – no one wants to be sold to on LinkedIn, but almost everyone is willing to be educated – and an experimentation mindset, trying different features and functions of LinkedIn, stack the things that work and set aside the things that don’t. Understand the pains an barriers that you prospects are trying to overcome and know what it is that you can teach them. Growth hacks: LinkedIn Events – if you have a direct competitor, industry or organisation putting on a LinkedIn Event that your business solves for, if you attend that event you can see everyone else who attended that event and create a prospects list. Use people who are big in your area as proxies – use people’s open connections to see all first connections to her, second connections to you and is in your area, and begin connecting to them Building out your first connections is critical. I reach out to 15 people per day Monday-Friday during normal working hours. That gives you 500 people per month, which is below LinkedIn’s limits. Typically, you’ll get a 20% connection rate. Within 30 days of sending an invite, and they haven’t connected, withdraw the invite. It’s good hygiene, but after 3 weeks you can reach out to them again. Everything you do after that only gets better and has bigger possibilities as your audience grows. BEST MOMENTS ‘There’s lots of opportunity to engage with you prospects on LinkedIn in ways that are valuable for relationship building and set you up as a thought leader.’‘People undervalue the value of being a first connection, when you’re a first connection you can see all kids of information about them, direct message them, and use other features and functions to engage with them.’‘I typically build my audience through Sales Navigator – a tool within LinkedIn that allows you to hone in on audiences..’‘If you’re using automation that is in any way inauthentic it won’t work, you wouldn’t immediately set up a meeting with someone you just met, I wish people would stop, it’s lazy.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Colin Hirdman is a lifelong entrepreneur, startup advocate, and visionary behind Rainmaker, a platform revolutionizing LinkedIn’s growth strategies through its "Authentic Engine." As co-founder of Monkey Island Ventures, a venture studio launched in 2007 with childhood friends, Colin has spent nearly two decades fostering tech innovation and scaling ventures like SaaS tools, digital marketing agencies, and software development firms. His passion lies in unlocking the power of authentic relationship-building—evidenced by Rainmaker’s mission to help founders, coaches, and sales teams expand their networks, generate leads, and close deals ethically on LinkedIn. A Minnesota native, Colin’s journey began with selling his first startup (launched just days after college) and evolved into mentoring entrepreneurs through actionable strategies like LinkedIn automation, audience targeting via Sales Navigator, and educational outreach. His philosophy blends authenticity, experimentation, and a focus on solving audience pain points—principles he shares as a board member of MNblockchain and a sought-after voice in B2B growth. When not advising startups or hosting LinkedIn livestreams, Colin champions the entrepreneurial spirit, proving that even a criminal justice graduate-turned-accidental-founder can redefine 21st-century scaling. Catch his insights on turning connections into revenue—no bots or spam required. LinkedIn ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur.
