As the founder of the global movement Choose2Matter, Angela's singular focus is to help people realize their value and potential contribution to creating change, whether in their personal lives or the world at large. It is fair to say, she leaves no room unchanged. Angela's journey began in 2011 when she delivered a TEDTalk on the power of two simple words that went viral—You Matter!—which catalyzed the creation of Choose2Matter in 2014.

Her work with Fortune 500 companies such as Apple, Microsoft, IBM, and global entities like the U.S. Air Force and West Point have set new standards for creating purpose-driven cultures of motivation and inclusion. Angela's visionary approach has earned her numerous accolades, including being named one of Forbes' Top 5 Edupreneurs to Watch, one of IBM's Top 20 Global Influencers, and one of the Top 100 Women in Technology by Onalytics. She has also been recognized as one of the Top 20 Education Thought Leaders by TrustEd. Angela is the author of nine books, including Genius Matters and Classroom Habitudes, and the forthcoming M is for Mattering. Angela is a much sought-after keynote speaker, consultant, and researcher who brings a unique blend of education, neuroscience, and innovation to help individuals and organizations cultivate purposeful leadership, meaningful work, and transformative change. Angela's work is grounded in the belief that everyone is built for purpose, deserves dignity, and can create meaningful impact. She has worked with over 50 global companies, educational institutions, nonprofits, and military organizations to implement practical tools for cultivating positive team cultures and igniting the genius within every person. When Angela speaks, change is not just possible—it is inevitable. ______________________________________________________________________ The Edupreneur: Your Blueprint To Jumpstart And Scale Your Education BusinessYou've spent years in the classroom, leading PD, designing curriculum, and transforming how students learn.

In this episode of That Tech Pod, we get into the next industrial revolution,  Industry 5.0, where technology and people work together instead of competing for the same space. Shay Howe, Chief Strategy Officer at ActiveCampaign, joins us to unpack how automation is evolving from efficiency-driven systems to human-centered collaboration.We explore how the relationship between humans and machines is shifting from replacement to augmentation, and what that means for marketers, entrepreneurs, and the future of work. Shay shares real examples of automation that make marketing more personal, not less, and explains why technologies that enable creativity, empathy, and ethics will define the next era of innovation. The conversation covers everything from data transparency and responsible AI to how automation might create entirely new industries, just like cars once did for roads, dealerships, and repair shops. Along the way, Shay draws lessons from The E-Myth and The Innovator's Dilemma to remind us that disruption always brings opportunity. The big takeaway? Industry 5.0 isn't about replacing humans, it's about empowering them. When used thoughtfully, automation can give people more time to focus on creativity, connection, and strategy. The future of marketing belongs to those who design technology that amplifies human potential.Shay Howe is the Chief Strategy Officer at ActiveCampaign, where he drives the company's corporate strategy, new product lines, corporate development, and strategic partnerships. He has previously held leadership positions across marketing, product, and design, and his product-led growth approach has helped scale the company into a global tech unicorn. Prior to ActiveCampaign, Shay was Vice President of Product at Belly and Yello, where he was responsible for product strategy and design. He previously led product teams at multiple high-growth companies, including Groupon, and has held in-residence roles as an advisor with Techstars, Lightbank, and Prota Venture portfolios. Shay's passion for building teams extends outside of work, as he also serves as a mentor with Techstars and LongJump Ventures.

We dive deep into the pivotal "come-to-Jesus" moment that forced the company to re-evaluate its path, the cultural shift to a data-driven mindset, and how they are now using their new AI tool, "V1CTOR," to solve the biggest pain points for golf instructors - time and student engagement.

Christensen Quotable Moments from Alex: On Challenging Assumptions: "Intuition can tell you where to look, but the data is going to validate or invalidate that's the right place to press." On Understanding Customer Needs: "What you learn is, customers can tell you their pain points, they can tell you their aspirations, but what they can't tell you is the solution... It's not their job. That's ours." On the Core Philosophy of V1's AI companion, V1CTOR: "The best way to build trust between a random person on the internet and a golf instructor is to show some value first."

What happens when music, art, and technology collide in the hands of a true innovator? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Damian Kulash Jr., frontman and co-founder of OK Go, the Grammy-winning band known for turning creativity into spectacle. From dancing on treadmills to performing in zero gravity, OK Go has redefined what a music video can be, transforming pop songs into visual experiments that blend engineering, art, and unfiltered joy. Damian opens up about the punk roots that shaped his DIY approach to innovation and the thrill of breaking rules in pursuit of authenticity. He reflects on how the band's viral experiments were never about chasing clicks but about creating something so unexpected and so human that it makes people stop and feel wonder again. From silk-screening posters in art school to building massive Rube Goldberg machines in warehouses, his creative journey reveals how experimentation and emotion power real innovation. Together, Damian and I explore how art and technology can amplify empathy, why authenticity resonates more than virality, and how collaboration remains humanity's best innovation. We discuss the parallels between creative risk-taking and corporate invention, the need for radical cooperation in an AI-driven world, and why OK Go's work continues to spark curiosity and connection around the globe. This conversation is full of laughter, honesty, and creative insight, reminding us that innovation does not always come from the lab or the boardroom. Sometimes, it comes from a garage, a camera, and a belief that wonder itself can change the world.  

What if saying yes to significance over money could unlock a decade of impact and lead you to build the business you were always meant to create? In this episode, Steve Caton, founder of Altezza Solutions and fractional sales expert, shares his remarkable journey from rejecting his banker father's career path to becoming a champion for trapped founders. Through four pivotal relationships, each arriving at exactly the right moment, Steve learned the art of relational sales, the discipline of the sales process, the courage to choose significance, and the confidence to finally launch his own company. His mission? Freeing brilliant founders from the sales trap so they can lead their vision while spending more time at the dinner table with their families. Steve reflects on how the right mentors at the right time shaped his career and why he believes the fractional sales model is a game-changer for emerging growth companies stuck between $1-5 million in revenue.   [00:06:00] What Altezza Does Altezza = Italian word for "altitude" (inspired by Colorado living) Provides fractional sales expertise AND execution Frees brilliant founders trapped doing sales instead of leading their vision Allows business owners to focus on what truly matters: building their extraordinary future [00:06:40] The Sales Trap is Real Emerging growth businesses started by visionary innovators Founders know they need to stop selling but don't have the framework Can't attract top-tier salespeople without proper sales infrastructure Hiring inexperienced or commission-only reps almost always fails [00:08:20] The Innovator's Journey Steve discovered he's wired as an innovator and starter Thrives in early-stage growth companies ($1-5M revenue range) Gets restless when companies become routine without innovation Spent career helping companies bring in their first real salesperson [00:11:00] The COVID Pivot Waited until last son graduated college to start the business Launched during COVID pandemic, initially seemed like bad timing Actually worked in their favor: remote work became normalized Altezza operates 100% remotely, selling remotely [00:12:00] The Sweet Spot Client Professional services or technology firms $1-5 million in revenue range Founder still trapped in the sales motion Highly relational, consultative sales needed Can sell remotely without boots-on-the-ground [00:13:00] Three Service Models Do It Yourself: Client has sales infrastructure, just needs the right salesperson Done With You: Some documentation exists, needs tweaking and 90-day support Done For You: Everything lives in founder's head, must extract, document, and build systems [00:14:40] Beyond the Numbers Stories of 40% sales increases and doubled revenue matter But the real win: founders getting home for dinner more often Client's wife thanked their salesperson: "My husband is home for dinner way more" Freedom founders dreamed of when starting their business [00:17:40] Four Pivotal People [00:18:40] 1. His Dad: The Passion Banking and finance background Ton of passion, drive, fire, and energy Steve internalized that drive but knew banking wasn't his path Couldn't envision putting on a suit and tie every day [00:19:23] 2. David: The Relational Sales Master Left high-paying pharmaceutical job to start real estate company Invited Steve to get real estate license and sell with him 10 years older, taught Steve everything about relationship-driven sales How to build rapport, ask open-ended questions, and shut up and listen Made way more money in real estate than he would have in banking [00:22:11] 3. Doug Sherman: The Process Guru Held record for highest math score on Air Force Academy entrance exam Sales consultant for companies like Boeing Helped Boeing overcome getting "their butt kicked by Airbus" Game changer: Taught Steve about sales PROCESS for the first time [00:25:24] 4. Jerry Melek: The Significance Prophet Grandfather of kid on Steve's son's football team Career counselor and recruiter with strong faith Steve at crossroads: high-paying jobs vs. low-paying significant opportunity Jerry's challenge: "You told me you wanted significance. This is black and white. Which job is about significance? If you care about significance and not money, this is a no-brainer." Hit Steve right between the eyes, he was too fearful to do what he felt led to do [00:29:00] 5. Don Martin: The Business Leadership Mentor Former Century 21 executive team member Gave Steve the tools to actually LEAD a company and be a business owner Helped Steve see he wasn't launching Altezza because of fear "God created you for this moment: see it, own it, have faith, take the step" Still there for challenges, rough days, pep talks, and "kicks in the ass" [00:31:40] The Ripple Effect Moment Leaving the company Jerry helped him join Spontaneous going away party with his team One by one shared the impact Steve had on them Gave him caricature with signatures and encouragement [00:34:49] The "Go With Others" Glass Gift from team member at that farewell gathering Reminder of ripple effects Steve won't get to see Still uses it 9 years later: an anchor to that meaningful season Physical reminder of choosing significance over salary KEY QUOTES "We don't get wherever we are in life by ourselves. It's always with the help that we get from other people we intersect with on the journey along the way." - Steve Caton "When a company got to a certain size, I started getting super restless because God wired me as an innovator and a starter. When you put me in an early stage growth company, I'm thriving. As soon as it starts to feel routine, I get bored." - Steve Caton CONNECT WITH STEVE CATON

As we near the end of our 5th season, John Collins first takes a moment to discuss his upcoming surgery and his battle with hearing loss following an accident that occurred in a laboratory where he worked while he was in his early 20s. He then discusses “command coaching,” which is an application of coaching at the initial points of promotion for sworn law enforcement commanders, and how the development of police leaders MUST prioritize high-resolution self-awareness as a key factor in future success. In order to earn the trust and respect of team members, sworn commanders must know who they are from the inside out before they will have the ability to navigate the most difficult situations and personalities they will face in their leadership careers. As John explains, the “staff and command” model of leadership education is made weak when opportunities to help police officers truly understand themselves and their natural tendencies are wasted.   Issues on Trial - Tell us what you think!   Season:  5 Episode:  101 Duration:  49:44 YOUTUBE CHANNELS Main Podcast Channel Highlights Channel   FROM OUR SPONSOR Learn About the Innovators at Promega International Symposium on Human Identification   REFERENCED RESOURCES Book: The New Superior - A Better Way to Be the One in Charge   ABOUT YOUR HOST John Morrey Collins is a leadership and expertise coach specializing in working with clients in authoritative, high-stakes occupations, but with a primary emphasis on serving leaders, professionals, and organizations that support our complicated systems of criminal and civil justice.

David Hutchens: Story Dash David Hutchens works with leaders around the world to find, craft, and tell their most urgent stories for the purpose of creating shared meaning, preserving culture, disseminating learning, and speeding change in organizations. He has taught the Storytelling Leader program at some of the most influential organizations, including NASA, Paypal, Loreal Paris, Cisco, Walmart, Google, and FedEx. He's written many books, including the Circle of the 9 Muses, Story Dash, and The Leadership Story Deck. When organizational change is happening, leaders need to be intentional about lining up with culture, especially if it's the time to shift that culture just a bit. We often do the logistics well, but we miss the power of both the human and emotional connections. In this episode, David and I discuss how story can help us make a meaningful shift. Key Points The organizations that are being intentional about culture are also being intentional about story. Getting beyond the logistics of changes and leaning first into humanity and emotion help people frame cultural shifts. Leaders go first. Embodied stories from leaders are surprising, counter-cultural, and repeatable. Asking for stories is rarely sufficient. Instead, invite stories through intentional prompts like, “Tell me about a time you felt more engaged, alive, and happiest in your work here.” Received stories are the ones told by employees. Adding an emotion word to an invitation such as, “What's a time you were proud?” often surfaces more genuine stories. David is now a Coaching for Leaders expert partner.

Welcome to the second episode in our mini-series on the alternative asset market.Gennaro Leo is a sports executive and the co-founder of Austin Sports Ventures, a firm that partners with venture capital and private equity firms to invest in and operate assets across professional sports leagues, teams, and high-growth technology startups.In this episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, we discuss how sports ownership is changing and growing into a sophisticated asset class that combines real estate, technology, media and entertainment.Top Takeaways1. Sports ownership has evolved from a passion-driven pursuit into an institutional asset class. What began with local owners now attracts private equity and global investors seeking stable, outperforming returns.2. Media and entertainment continue at the center of sports. Many consider sports to be the last frontier of live entertainment, and the emergence of deals like Amazon's Thursday Night Football, shows like Netflix's Drive to Survive, and the popularity of TikTok sensation Savannah Bananas show the convergence of modern media and sports. This was a central theme in our 2024 episode with Ari Temkin, “Why Live Sports Dominate Streaming and Audio Is Thriving”.3. Stadiums and sports-related real estate development serve as community anchors, hosting concerts, graduations, and local events nearly every day of the year. Venues like SoFi Stadium and The Star in Dallas showcase how sports infrastructure fuels real estate and community growth.4. Italian soccer has become a case study in global sports ownership, with American investors now owning more than half of Serie A clubs. Gennaro's experience at AS Roma and Hellas Verona highlights the need for process, discipline, and respect for tradition when foreign owners enter a league.5. As ownership and media distribution models continue to evolve, opportunities open up for players, fans, and investors. We're seeing athlete-led venture funds to architecturally significant mixed-use developments, and increasingly, the convergence of sports with media, tech, and real estate.Full List of Topics CoveredGennaro's career spanning tech, media, real estate and sports ownershipThe evolution of stadiums as community and economic hubsU.S. investment in European football and its impactHow media innovation drives sports growthThe intersection of sports, tech, and real estateBuilding sustainable value in a global sports ecosystemThe future of the player and fan experience, and ownership modelsGennaro Leo is an accomplished operator and investor with expertise spanning venture capital, private equity, sports management, and technology commercialization. He co-founded Austin Sports Ventures, partnering with Next Coast Ventures and Presidio Investors to manage and invest in professional sports assets and high-growth companies, including leading the acquisition and commercial strategy for Hellas Verona FC. Previously, he held senior roles at CAA ICON and A.S. Roma, overseeing major stadium and venue projects, and earlier in his career, he helped commercialize over 100 NSF-backed startups through the Innovation Accelerator & National Innovation Fund.
