Emily Steele, President, SavanaHeadlines in the UK and Europe still talk of bank branch closures, However, in the US there are signs of a resurgence in traditional banking, with almost 100 net new branches opening in 2023 and almost double that number in 2024.

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," Chris, sits down with Kathleen Lin Hurtubise, the badass founder and CEO of Aloha HP, a staffing agency in Hawaii that's all about mixing “high tech” with “high touch.” She kicked things off in 2015 after scoring a big gig for the Hawaii Convention Center and now runs three vibes: hospitality, light industrial, and admin roles. When the pandemic tanked her hospitality game, Kathleen flipped the script, spinning off a food delivery service to keep Aloha HP afloat—then poured that cash back into the biz. Their secret sauce? AI that snags top talent fast, paired with a human-first approach—think meditation onboarding and check-ins to keep workers feeling connected. Kathleen's big on building community, especially for entry-level folks, with cool initiatives like “Best Self Through Service.” Looking to 2035, she sees AI shaking up work but says empathetic humans will still rule, with flexible, “whole person” staffing becoming the norm.---Connect with Kathleen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-lin-hurtubise/The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: ⁠https://10xyou.us⁠Get AIDAILY every weekday. ⁠https://aidaily.us⁠My blog: ⁠https://thinkfuture.com

I end up finding it's almost the opposite of that, as in what you just described. If you follow more along the lines of that type of a path where you've, you've been close to the customer, you've been obsessed about representing them in certain situations and leading with that kind of data that can have a significantly greater positive impact, I would say, in terms of like the outcomes, successful outcomes or the success that we're trying to achieve with the companies that we're building. So huge advocate for it. I had to learn it the hard way. I skipped steps earlier in my career, I paid for it, but now I know how important. It's so appreciate you underscoring the importance. 05:42 -  I'm not technical, but, or I'm not a salesperson, but it, I don't think that's a good answer. You have to be technical, you have to be a salesperson, you have to be everything, especially when you're in front of the customer. And, and using that as a scapegoat or an excuse is just doesn't cut it. Especially not when information is so available to us. You can, you can Google, you can, you can look things up real easily. You can ask someone for help. 09:26 -  So in the world of retail, we focus very much on the high consideration purchases, so jewelry, cosmetics, high-end luxury products in general automotive. So if you're buying, buying a vehicle, you want to see the vehicle, you wanna maybe speak with someone and have a conversation with 'em that goes beyond something that you would ask a chatbot and financial services because seeing someone is really important in order to build trust. So it's not always about seeing the product over video, sometimes it's just about seeing another person on video like, like you and I are seeing each other right now over Zoom. 22:00 - Definitely measure very carefully everything to do with EBITDA and cash. That's something that, especially in, in let's say the last year, year and a half, where fundraising is more challenging. Many companies have to last need their rounds to last longer. And I think many companies have gotten into trouble because they initially raise money for let's say 24 months, but now they need to make it work for 48. Being able to predict cash flow is incredibly important. And it's not always very simple because you can't predict whether customers will pay on time or not, especially when you're longer-term contracts and they pay annually and non-monthly. So I've actually, as of about six months ago, I've shifted our cashflow tracking to a weekly basis instead of a monthly basis. And that's actually helped a lot. It helped me understand much more how the business operates, both in terms of cash going in and cash going out. 20:49 - Well one thing comes to mind, which is important for our, our investors and basically at the board level, I, I do a very good job, I think in measuring backlog of revenue. So beyond who's paying us today right now, based on what's committed into the future, we have kind of a chart that shows over time how much of that revenue is locked in for 12, 18, 24 months into the future. So that's something that not, I don't think everyone measures at, at this stage of a company. You know, when you're in, in your single digit millions in a RR something that I've measured always. And it's, it's good to show the investors, you know, we've renewed a contract with, with a particular customer and now they're locked in for the next two years of the next three years and that revenue is locked in and we can be very pre we can predict well the, the revenue into the future.  Free Email CourseHow to Build a Profitable AI-Powered B2B SaaS Business for Less Than $750 - https://nxtstep.io/b2bsaasConnect with SeanSubscribe to my YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@nxtstepseanConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-boyce/Notes generated by Podcast Show Notes  (podcastshownotes.ai)

Alex also delves into the entrepreneurial journey, including the fundraising process, execution versus ideation, and lessons learned from building Regal. He emphasizes the significance of having the right motivations, understanding customer segments, and the need for effective marketing strategies. Takeaways Every company in the future would be a technology company. The winning model wasn't self-serve only, it was self-serve plus that personal touch. You shouldn't be relegated to sort of the low touch deflection model. You have to really believe that this thing has to exist. You need to be very honest with yourself about where you're strong, where you're weak. Fundraising is specifically raising money for venture capitalists. You want to find the people who already believe in your thesis. You have to ask yourself, what is the riskiest thing that I'm trying to prove? You should really think about if you're gonna be the B, what kind of sale do you want? You should stop taking the wrong customer.

Have you clearly defined your service offering to the extent that you can productize it? Or do you prefer to customize your approach for each client's needs? Which strategy aligns better with your agency's objectives and overall success? Today's featured guest transitioned from providing highly customized services, which impacted his team's ability to meet deadlines and adhere to budgets. He has since adopted a productized model and is currently exploring how to effectively present differentiated pricing tiers. Join us as we delve into invaluable insights on launching and scaling a creative agency, optimizing your service offerings, and gracefully managing a co-founder's exit. Matthew McIver is the founder and CEO of Commence Studio, a B2B brand and e-commerce agency with a proven track record for helping purpose-driven companies build widely-known brands.

Navigating an Agency Partner's Exit Ever since high school, Matt envisioned a future where he would own an agency—an aspiration he regarded as the pinnacle of success for a graphic designer. After honing his skills in design and photography at art school, he made the transition into the agency world, where he worked as a freelance designer and web developer at several firms. Eventually, Matt partnered with a like-minded individual to embark on the ambitious venture of starting their own business, pooling together just $500 to kickstart their dream. Matt quickly learned that building a successful business requires immense perseverance—navigating through growth, setbacks, and the resilience to rise again. After years of building the agency together, Matt's partner experienced burnout and lost his passion for entrepreneurship. The split was amicable, characterized by mutual respect and a buyout agreement that allowed both parties to prioritize their respective futures without ego interference. Reflecting on this pivotal period, Matt notes the buyout agreement they drafted through LegalZoom served its purpose in outlining the terms of their separation. However, he recognizes that a more tailored agreement crafted by a legal professional would have provided additional benefits and advises having a comprehensive and detailed agreement in place when entering a partnership. The Hidden Cost of Customization and Not Having SOPs Looking back at his experience building the agency with his partner, Matt reflects on how the agency saw rapid and significant growth. However, he recognizes their journey was largely improvised, resulting in various shortcomings, the most notable being the lack of processes. As they scaled, they inadvertently constructed a business model centered around their craft and talent, leading to a portfolio that lacked distinction among brands. The agency found itself specializing in a singular type of design, which necessitated training every new hire—both designers and developers—in the same approach. No documented SOPs were in place, as each product was custom-built for new clients. This absence of structured processes led to several oversights, not necessarily diminishing quality, but causing them to miss deadlines and exceed budgets. Matt realized he was essentially forfeiting potential revenue by not understanding the value of the ideas they were providing for free. More recently, they moved into a productized format that helped take their sales cycle from 88 days to just 8 days. They have packaged their services into standardized offerings that can be easily replicated and sold to multiple clients by creating a catalog of three tiers of services. The Power of Standardization & Learning the Value of Processes Moving into a more productized format poses the question of how much to charge for each of their service's tiers and whether or not they should make those prices public on their website. On one hand, having value-based advisory emphasizes the importance of providing personalized, strategic advice to clients. Rather than treating clients like a commodity, their approach is based on the individual needs and goals of each client. On the other hand, research indicates that clients like to know the options available to them. After refining their sales process, Matt is now able to ask the right questions to find out what kind of business the leads are in, and their size, and position their product catalog quickly accordingly. He then presents all three options in their catalog and highlights the one he recommends for that specific client. However, this has sometimes created confusion among clients who feel overwhelmed by the options. Ultimately, clients seek to engage with an industry expert they can trust to provide effective solutions to their challenges. They don't want to make decisions but rather have someone take care of the problem and present solutions that make it a no-brainer. It's important to position yourself as a trusted advisor to clients, which is why presenting the right price offering based on the client's needs and budget after the initial meeting might be the best option. High-Touch vs. High-Efficiency: Two Paths to Agency Growth The key to value-based advisory is the ability to guide clients through complex decision-making processes and offer expert recommendations based on their unique needs. It's an approach that involves actively listening to clients, understanding their pain points, and presenting solutions that align with their goals. However, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to scaling an agency and while some entrepreneurs may choose to focus on offering high-end, personalized services at premium prices, others may find success by adopting a more streamlined and cost-effective approach. For instance, some agency owners have found success in "creating a factory", a powerful and thought-provoking idea that challenges traditional notions of pricing and service delivery. This is the case of David, who built a successful agency by offering low-priced services in a streamlined and efficient manner. By focusing on efficiency, simplicity, and scalability, David was able to attract a large number of clients and ultimately sell his agency for a substantial sum. His approach of offering standardized services at a low price point may seem counterintuitive to some, especially in an industry where high prices are often equated with quality. Ultimately, the key is to understand your target market, identify their needs and preferences, and tailor your business model accordingly. Building a Strong Culture that Prioritizes Flexibility and Growth Opportunities Matt is very conscious of the fact that his team is his greatest asset and is committed to treating them with respect while providing compelling reasons for them to remain with his agency. He feels a profound sense of gratitude for the loyalty shown by some employees who have been with the agency since its inception, even amidst various challenges and transitions. His vision has always been to cultivate a close-knit team of around fifteen members, and although recent difficulties necessitated a downsizing, he is now focused on rebuilding. He takes pride in building a strong culture that values time and freedom, especially as a new father. He also recognizes the importance of offering flexibility and a supportive culture for their team. By focusing on transparency, open communication, and providing tools for retention, he has been able to create a positive work environment where employees feel valued and supported. In addition to offering competitive benefits such as health and wellness benefits, gym benefits, and paid time off, Matt goes above and beyond to support his team through personal challenges and difficult times. His dedication to prioritizing employee well-being reflects a genuine commitment to investing in his team members, recognizing that they are more than just assets or sources of income.

The subjects were then given a packet of information about an individual and then asked to assess his or her personality traits. The participants assessed the person as significantly “warmer” if they had previously held the warm cup rather than the iced cup. As an aspiring master communicator, this reminds me to see who and not through.  It reminds me to take a beat, make eye contact, and smile.  It reminds me to ask a question and listen earnestly to get to know a little about the people I encounter. ”– Frank Somma Build Credibility and Effective Leadership with the Manage Smarter Podcast Join hosts Audrey Strong and C.

00:00:00 - Craig GrantSo anytime you have AI generated content, I don't care if it's written imagery, anything, you don't want to just copy and paste and use it immediately. You got to make sure that every aspect of it is accurate. So you want to fact check things. You can ask for sources and go check if those sources are correct. You should legal check it, everything before you go use that in the public or in your marketing. You.00:00:27 - Bill RisserYou're listening to the Real Estate Sessions Podcast.

I interview Craig Grant. This session was recorded at the high tech High Touch Summit in October of 2023 at the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors. Yes, Jeff and Lisa, through results consulting, has created this one day session. This event combines technology with, as Jeff likes to put it, ships friendships, relationships, which lead to championships. So this interview is a session on artificial intelligence AI. It's all the rage. Craig's in high demand around the country, speaking at associations about AI and the future of AI in the world of real estate. Let's get this thing started. I hope you enjoy my interview with Craig Grant at the high tech High Touch Summit in Buffalo, New York. Craig, welcome to the podcast.00:01:44 - Craig GrantThanks, Bill. Thanks for having me.00:01:46 - Bill RisserYeah, well, look, we're here in Buffalo, and it's been wonderful talking to this crowd, and we've been teasing them for the last few hours that we're going to talk a lot about AI. And this is that opportunity. So I'm going to get this thing started right off the bat. First things first. Should we be worried about our safety and security? Is AI coming to destroy us?00:02:08 - Craig GrantDo you want the real answer, or do you want me to sugarcoat it a little bit?00:02:12 - Bill RisserLet's go somewhere right in the mean.00:02:15 - Craig GrantSo there are some very legit concerns with AI.

And the reality is that is a legit concern. And even some of the biggest people working on these projects admit they know they're working on something very cool and transformative. But they also know they're working on something that could really cause all kinds of major issues. So there is some legitimacy to the fear. But at the same time, a lot of these companies are trying to build in guardrails to hopefully make that not happen.00:02:52 - Bill RisserYou're telling me we should be slightly worried, but when it comes to online security and what Google knows about us, that cat's way out of the bag, right?00:03:02 - Craig GrantWay out of the bag, yeah. You and I were talking about this. Every decade or so, another major thing comes into the market that does this same kind of fear. You know what I mean? You go back 25 years ago, it was just the start of the Internet was going to end us all. Then it was social media was going to end us all. I mean, they're each kind of big movement does come with some concerns. This one, it's just evolving so rapidly that it does have
