A fundamental shift is emerging as AI moves core financial operations away from traditional web interfaces and into AI‑native cloud‑desktop environments, redefining how CFO teams execute and manage workflows. In this episode, Henry Ward, founder and CEO at Carta, examines how this transition changes the CFO operating model alongside host Daniel Faggella, highlighting why AI‑literate finance leaders gain leverage by orchestrating reporting, close processes, and analysis directly through agent‑driven systems. The discussion outlines how reusable AI skills, shared operational source files, and automated coordination reshape month‑end close, reporting agility, and cross‑team execution for modern finance organizations. To go deeper on this topic and learn how financial institutions are digitizing paper-based records to unlock usable data for AI, and using alternative data like public web and social signals to enhance risk assessment, download our free PDF report, "AI in Financial Services Executive Cheat Sheet" at emerj.com/fcs2

The era of stagnant electricity demand in the US is over. Data centres, electrification, and reshoring of manufacturing are driving a surge in demand that is stronger that anything that anyone currently working in the industry has yet seen in their professional lifetimes. The question of which market and regulatory structures are needed to respond to this new and fast-changing world is now at the centre of the policy debate.Host Ed Crooks is joined by Drew Maloney, President and CEO of the Edison Electric Institute, the trade body representing America's investor-owned utilities, which together serve more than 70 per cent of the US population. Drew argues that the current moment is exposing a fundamental divide in the US power system: vertically integrated, regulated utilities can plan generation, transmission, and distribution over 20-year horizons, while competitive markets like PJM are struggling to send the investment signals needed to get new power plants built.The conversation starts with one of the hottest topics in US politics: affordability and household electricity bills. There are some misconceptions about electricity bills that have gained traction with the American public. Drew points to EEI research showing that 34 states have kept increases in electricity rates below general consumer price inflation over the past five years. And he adds that the states where prices are rising fastest tend to be in deregulated markets, where capacity costs are climbing but no new generation is being built.Ed draws on the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 2025 study of electricity bills and data centres (You can read that study here.). That study found that demand growth alone did not explain rising bills, and that the drivers vary significantly by region, from wildfire mitigation costs in California to capacity market dynamics in PJM and New England.They move on to another hot topic in the industry today: whether data centres and other large loads should go “off grid” and rely entirely on local on-site generation. Drew pushes back against the narrative that this model is now becoming widespread, arguing there is more talk than action. Building duplicative generation to create “five nines” reliability for a data centre is expensive, and can still be unreliable without grid backup. It also pulls investment and workforce away from the shared infrastructure that benefits all customers. Most data centres want grid access, even if some are pursuing hybrid approaches in the interim until their hook-ups to the network can be connected.The episode also covers FERC Chairman Laura Swett's emerging approach to market intervention, the prospects for bipartisan permitting reform in Congress, and the ratepayer protection plan brokered between the White House and the major hyperscalers. Drew closes with an optimistic long view: the current moment, though it needs careful management, could be an opportunity to transform the US grid for the better.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it take to build a thriving, high-performance culture inside one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the world, without ever requiring a college degree to get in the door? Mandy Mekhail, Chief of Staff of People at ClickUp, went from teaching in a classroom to leading the people function at a 1,200-person global company, and her journey is anything but conventional. In this episode, Mandy pulls back the curtain on ClickUp's non-traditional hiring philosophy, their obsession with onboarding excellence, and how they're turning AI agents into literal coworkers on the org chart. Whether you're an HR professional, a people leader, or simply curious about where work is headed, this conversation will challenge the way you think about hiring, culture, and the role of AI in your organization. Don't miss it. Key Timestamps [00:00:00] — Introduction: Mandy's Unconventional Path to People Leadership From educator to customer support to Chief of Staff of People at ClickUp, Mandy shares the leap of faith that started it all and the mindset that carried her through. [00:03:00] — Joining ClickUp at Employee #110 Mandy reflects on what it was like to join ClickUp when it had fewer than 100 functional employees and what it's meant to watch it scale to 1,200 people globally. [00:04:00] — The Role That Shaped Everything: Building the Quality Team Six months into ClickUp, Mandy was tasked with building the customer support quality function — and it became the role that fused her education background with her passion for people impact. [00:05:00] — Recruiting Power Users: ClickUp's Unconventional Hiring Strategy Forget job boards. ClickUp finds top talent by recruiting passionate product users from online forums and communities — and it's still a core part of their strategy today. [00:07:00] — Why ClickUp Dropped the Degree Requirement From Day One CEO Zeb Evans made a deliberate call early on: if a bachelor's degree isn't the real signal of capability, don't require it. Mandy explains how skills, integrity, and passion took its place. [00:09:00] — The Interview Question That Reveals Everything One question ClickUp asks every candidate regardless of role: "Give me an example of when you showed fortitude." Mandy explains why resilience is the great equalizer in hiring. [00:10:00] — Onboarding 500 Employees with a 99% KPI Success Rate Within 90 Days Mandy breaks down the layered, outcome-first onboarding framework that got new hires fully productive in weeks — by embedding them in the product from day one. [00:13:00] — Maintaining Culture Across Time Zones, Countries, and Hub Offices With teams spanning San Diego, Dublin, Sydney, Manila, and beyond, Mandy shares how a shared mission and core values become the unifying force across global subcultures. [00:15:00] — Preventing Burnout in a High-Growth, Fast-Shipping Environment High expectations don't have to mean burnout. Mandy explains why clear communication and respectful manager relationships are the real guardrails — not just PTO policies. [00:17:00] — Practical Boundaries in a Always-On World Mandy shares her personal rule: the ClickUp mobile app gets turned off at 5 PM. A small habit with a big message about modeling the boundaries you want your team to keep. [00:18:00] — Inclusion at Scale: How ClickUp Runs Global All-Hands Meetings Rotating time zones, recorded sessions, and a commitment to giving every employee the opportunity to attend live — Mandy breaks down what operational inclusion actually looks like. [00:19:00] — Why Every Single Communication at ClickUp Lives Inside ClickUp No side channels. No email threads. Every conversation, every message, every decision — all in ClickUp. Here's why that radical commitment powers both inclusion and AI at scale. [00:22:00] — The AI Agent Hour: One Hour a Week That's Changing Everything ClickUp gives employees one dedicated hour per week to play with AI Super Agents — no agenda, no expectations. Mandy explains how this structured playtime is dismantling fear and unlocking innovation. [00:27:00] — Advice for HR Leaders Who Are Afraid of AI Mandy's message to people leaders sitting on the fence: don't let your own fear set the tone for the rest of your organization. Start by understanding it yourself — and lean into your compliance and legal superpowers along the way. [00:29:00] — Where AI Has Made the Biggest Impact in the People Function Tier-one operational tasks are the obvious win, but Mandy points to something most HR teams are still missing: using AI for sentiment analysis of HR processes — and why that's the next frontier. [00:31:00] — AI as a Multiplier, Not a Replacement On the noise around AI layoffs, Mandy is clear: ClickUp treats AI agents as coworkers, not substitutes. They even appear on the org chart with the same data architecture as human employees. [00:33:00] — 5,000 AI Agents for 1,200 Employees Inside ClickUp's internal "agent wins" channel and Help Wanted Board — a grassroots knowledge-sharing system that has resulted in more AI agents than people at the company. [00:36:00] — Closing Thoughts: Don't Be Afraid to Try Something for the First Time Mandy's parting challenge to every listener — whether you're in tech or not: dive in, explore, and trust that understanding AI will transform how you see your role, your team, and your future.

Welcome to a special episode of HME News in 10, sponsored by Rhythm Healthcare.  In this episode, Mitch Yoel, chief operating officer at Rhythm Healthcare, shares what it really takes for durable medical equipment (DME) providers to rise to the top of a hospital's referral list.  His starting point is simple but critical:  Does your messaging sound transactional, or does it sound clinical and compelling?  “I believe the future winners – especially in oxygen therapy – won't just be equipment distributors,” he said. “They'll be clinically fluent partners, helping hospitals improve outcomes after discharge.”  Yoel breaks down what it takes to become that partner, from leveraging evidence-based decisions to eliminating disconnects around equipment selection.  Hosts:  Liz Beaulieu  Theresa Flaherty   Guest:  Mitch Yoel

In the race for B2B growth, we often prioritize speed over everything else. But what's the real cost when your brand starts to look like a collection of spare parts cobbled together by different teams?Agility requires a strong, foundational framework to enable speed without sacrificing coherence. It's about empowering teams to move quickly and independently, while still ensuring every customer touchpoint feels like it comes from one unified brand.Today, we're going to talk about why brand and design consistency is often the first casualty of high-growth B2B environments, and paradoxically, one of the most critical assets to protect. We'll explore how that fragmentation happens, from different teams launching products to rapid hiring, and discuss why building a consistent brand isn't just a "nice-to-have"—it's a direct line to building trust and long-term value with your customers.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jenny Sagström, CEO at Sköna.

#BusinessPodcast #DigitalPayments #Fintech We use payment systems every day. Scan, tap, done. But behind that one transaction…there's a system most people don't understand and a career path almost no one talks about. In this episode, we go inside Nepal's payment ecosystem from cards and QR to the backend systems that power every transaction. We explore why payment systems are easy to use but hard to understand, why there is no formal education around this field, and how people are actually building careers inside it. This is a conversation about systems, not just usage and the growing opportunity for those who understand how money really moves.

What does self-care really look like when you are scaling fast, raising four kids, and carrying the weight of other people's livelihoods on your shoulders? In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I sit down with Michele Henry, founder and CEO of Face Foundry, to talk about what it actually takes to build a high-growth franchise brand without losing yourself in the process. Michele launched her flagship location in 2019 with a clear vision to franchise from day one. Within a year, the world shut down. She furloughed her entire team, slept in her warehouse during COVID, and faced the kind of doubt that tests every founder's resolve.  Today, Face Foundry has dozens of locations open, with aggressive expansion plans still ahead. But this conversation is not just about growth. It is about steadiness. Michele shares how self-care for her is not indulgent or optional. It is disciplined. Early mornings. Movement. Quiet time. Meditation. Clear routines in a world that constantly shifts. She talks openly about unlearning the belief that strength means doing everything alone, and how building a trusted team has become one of her greatest leadership shifts. For Michele, self-care also shows up inside her organization, from encouraging her corporate team to step away for restorative moments to creating experiences that reinforce gratitude and connection. We also explore the idea of seasons. Survival seasons. Scaling seasons. The importance of extracting the lesson so you do not repeat it. Michele reflects on integrity as a non-negotiable value, how alignment drives franchise success, and why consistency in an inconsistent world is one of the most powerful leadership traits you can cultivate. If you are a founder, an emerging leader, or someone navigating rapid growth, this episode will remind you that becoming unshakable does not mean being rigid. It means being clear. Clear in your mission. Clear in your values. Clear in who you are at your core. As you listen, consider this: In your current season, what does self-care need to look like so that your leadership remains steady for those who depend on you?  

The Business Case for Investing in Your Integrator For years, Megan Long told entrepreneurs that hiring a Second-In-Command wasn't a revenue-generating role, that it was a long game with slow ROI, and not to expect immediate financial benefits to the business. She was wrong.  New data from Second First's quarterly benchmarking reveals that companies investing in their operators and integrators are seeing an average of 28% revenue growth year over year, with a median growth of 10% and 25% reporting significant improvements in strategic alignment with their founder.  While she's not claiming causation, the correlation between investing in Seconds-In-Command and high growth is impossible to ignore. Together you'll break down the four reasons why Megan thinks this is true.  You'll hear all about: 00:29 - Introduction: The exciting data on what high-growth businesses (30%+ YoY) have in common 00:58 - The big reveal: Companies that invest in their second-in-command are growing significantly 01:27 - Important disclaimer: Not claiming causation, but the correlation is hard to ignore 01:33 - The actual numbers from Second First's quarterly benchmarking data 01:43 - Member company results: 28% average revenue growth, 10% median growth year over year 02:24 - Additional finding: 25% reported significant improvement in strategic alignment with their entrepreneur 02:43 - Why investment in operators has real business impact beyond just the programs themselves 02:59 - Megan's confession: "I used to get this so wrong" - the revenue-generating role misconception 03:28 - Why it's important for second-in-commands to know there's data backing up self-investment 03:53 - Reason #1: Leadership Alignment - How peer communities help operators align better with founders 04:38 - Things feel less personal, communication improves, and operators stop guessing what CEOs want 04:59 - The expensive friction that happens when CEO and COO are even slightly misaligned 05:23 - When alignment improves, speed and traction pick up (actual dollar value) 05:28 - Reason #2: Exposure to Better Ways of Doing Things - Why this is Megan's favorite 05:50 - Real hot seat example: Member manually entering data into separate systems 07:04 - Why smart people miss obvious inefficiencies: being "snow blind" to inherited processes 07:57 - The power of eight operators from non-competing industries questioning your normal 08:33 - A great peer group forces you to ask: "Is this actually the best way?" 08:45 - Reason #3: Confirmation - Second-in-command decisions live in gray areas 09:06 - When you operate in a vacuum, self-doubt and second-guessing creep in 09:22 - The incredible value of hearing "Yes, we would approach it the same way" 10:11 - Real example: 200%+ annualized turnover and trusting your gut that something's wrong 11:01 - How confidence creates a ripple effect: faster decisions, better leadership 11:08 - Reason #4: Reducing Risk of Entrepreneur Burnout - The opposite scenario without investment 11:39 - Growth ceiling when entrepreneur becomes the answer to every question 12:05 - Study findings: Weak partnerships lead to early exits; strong partnerships keep founders committed 12:19 - The shift: From "I don't know what to do" to "Here are three solutions from my peer group" 12:57 - When entrepreneurs start saying "Go ask your peer group" - that's a resourced operator 13:30 - Breaking the "selfish" narrative around investing in yourself as an executive 14:00 - Proven ROI on business growth by investing in your second-in-command role 14:22 - Final message: You deserve the same investment your CEO gets, and you deserve people who get it   Rate, review & follow on Apple Podcasts Click Here to Listen!

If you're trying to scale your advisory firm, there's a stage where things start to feel harder than they should. Everyone's busy. Communication gets messy. You're still producing, but you're also trying to lead a team that needs clarity, feedback, and direction.In this episode, I'm joined by Triad's Member Culture Coach, Kenzie Olejnik. Kenzie joined Triad in April of 2022, when we were right in the middle of the chaos as a new company. She helped us turn good intentions into an intentional culture built on clarity, communication, and shared language. You'll hear Kenzie talk about the simple culture moves that actually matter, how to onboard people in a way that builds trust and excitement quickly, and why you can't treat your team like an afterthought if you want clients to have a great experience in every interaction.3 of the biggest insights from Kenzie Olejnik…#1.) Clarity and Communication Fix More Than You ThinkKenzie breaks down why most culture problems aren't “people problems.” They're clarity problems in terms of who owns what, how decisions get made, and how teams communicate when things move fast.#2.) Treat Your Team Like Your Best ClientsFrom onboarding touchpoints to celebrating wins consistently, Kenzie explains how removing friction and making people feel seen creates a culture that scales and protects the client experience.#3.) The Shared Language That Holds the Line and Fosters AccountabilityWe get into why words like “family” can quietly undermine accountability, and how Triad built a shared language that made expectations clear and culture self-sustaining.FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: The Enneagram Cheat SheetDownload here: https://bradleyjohnson.com/157SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/157FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

SUMMARY: In this episode of Ops Experts Club, Aaron Hovivian and Terryn Turner discuss the critical difference between being a task taker and truly owning operations. Using real-world examples from high-growth launches, they explain how operators support visionary leaders by creating structure, managing teams, and thinking through the downstream impact of decisions—especially during fast-paced seasons like January. The conversation focuses on delegation, automation, and root-cause thinking, emphasizing that strong operators protect systems, speed, and margin. Rather than reacting to tasks, operators are challenged to lead with clarity, push back when needed, and act as the stabilizing force that allows visionary ideas to scale without chaos.   Minute by Minute: 00:00 Navigating the Post-Holiday Vortex 03:05 The Role of Operators in Visionary Businesses 06:14 Transitioning from Task Taker to Operations Owner 08:54 The Importance of Delegation and Automation 11:51 Managing Systems and Decision-Making 14:54 Identifying Pain Points and Root Causes 18:07 The Value of Strategic Pushback 20:59 Building Effective Communication and Research Skills

This Growth ETF Manager Loves Finding High Growth Stocks With A Twist (Nasdaq: AOTG)GuestJohn Tinsman, Founder of AOT Invest LLC and Portfolio Manager of the AOT Growth and Innovation ETF (Nasdaq: AOTG).About John:John blends Midwestern pragmatism with global financial expertise. He grew up in his family's Iowa fertilizer business, studied economics at Northwestern and Oxford, and cut his teeth as a Chicago market maker. In 2022, he launched the AOT Growth and Innovation ETF, which has scaled from $20M to almost $100M AUM, focusing on profitable, tech-driven companies that compound growth.• Company: AOT Invest LLC• Website: http://aotetf.com/• Tickers: $AOTG, Launching $ AOTS SoonMethodologyAOT Invest selects innovative companies which seek to significantly grow their revenues and earnings. AOT also believes companies whose products or services have low marginal cost attributes will be able to achieve above average growth and profit margins in the future. AOT targets industries projected to grow significantly over the next 5 to 10 years. Within those industries, AOT seeks to invest in innovative market leaders who are growing their revenues or earnings and whose products or services could be described as having low marginal cost qualities. Marginal Cost is defined as the cost added by producing one additional unit of a product or service. By having a low marginal cost, a firm may be able to sell its product or service at a much higher price than the cost it took to produce the additional product or service, achieving a significant profit on new sales. Thorough fundamental analysis is made to weigh valuation metrics with growth of each company so that the greatest investment opportunities in AOT's opinion are selected. Thus, AOT selects innovative companies well positioned in expanding industries, that are both reasonably valued and have low marginal cost qualities. AOT expects that such companies will not only significantly increase their revenues, but that their earnings will increase at even greater rate than revenue. Over time, AOT believes this revenue and earnings growth will ultimately lead to above average share price appreciation for these companies and the AOT Growth and Innovation ETF.

Live from Future Proof, I sat down with my friend Dr. Daniel Crosby to talk about the psychology behind the fastest-growing advisors in our industry.Daniel had spent time with a number of Triad members who were doubling, tripling, even quadrupling their firms — and he wanted to understand what was driving that kind of growth. What he found wasn't a secret tactic or marketing hack. It was mindset.In this conversation, we get into what separates advisors who stay stuck from those building thriving, high-growth firms built on belief, culture, and intention. We talk about how mindset drives growth, how language creates culture, and what it really takes to go from being a great advisor to being a great CEO.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson & Daniel Crosby…#1.) Growth Starts with Mindset, Not MarketingI see a lot of advisors use the term “lifestyle practice” as a way to justify staying small. The truth is, that mindset keeps you stuck. If you want to attract top talent and grow something meaningful, you've got to think more like a professional sports team—always recruiting, always building, always chasing the next level.#2.) What Culture Really Means (And How to Build It)Everyone talks about culture, but few people actually define it. To me, real culture lives at the intersection of growth and belief. It's not top-down—it's built through shared language, lived values, and the behavior you model every day. You can't just write it on the wall; you've got to be it.#3.) The Path from Advisor to CEOIf you want to scale beyond yourself, you've got to evolve how you think and lead. I walk through the four stages every advisor goes through—from “advisor in charge” to true CEO—and how each stage requires more structure, more delegation, and a team that's empowered to think, not just execute.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/139FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.
