What is the greatest remark in your leadership? Is it what you've left behind, or is it what you've built? Brad DesJardin, retired president of DesCore Builders, joins today's episode to explore a succession system that works, embedded with values, clarity, and trust. Through the lens of the construction industry, we discuss how to create a lasting impact by planning with purpose, raising the right people, and letting go at the right time.

In this episode, Odette Barry is joined by Lem Zakharia, a powerhouse in the Australian media industry with an eclectic career spanning radio, music, and podcasting. Currently the executive producer of It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield, Lem has been instrumental in transforming the podcast from a casual, couch-recorded project to a top-ranking hit in its sixth season. With a core audience of women aged 19–35 and strong ties to the LGBTQ+ community, the podcast covers everything from reality TV to politics and current affairs. Lem shares how she strikes the perfect balance between supporting Abbie's unfiltered “stream of consciousness” style and introducing strategic structure to enhance the listener experience. Beyond her work on It's A Lot, Lem is breaking new ground with her venture, Bedou, a business bridging the gap between brands and digital creators, and curating a roster of high-profile influencer talent. On Hack Your Own PR, we always explore the art and science of media relations, publicity, and storytelling to help you to DIY PR, amplify your voice and share your message. In this episode, Lem provides an insider's perspective on: The challenges and opportunities of producing a top-tier podcast. Practical tips on how to craft a killer pitch and build strong relationships with media teams. Her vision for the future of brand partnerships in the creator economy. Key Takeaways: Know your audience and personalise your pitch. Tailored, thoughtful pitches that align with a show's tone and audience are far more effective than generic ones. Build relationships with producers, not just talent. Behind-the-scenes teams often hold the key to successful collaborations. Persistence pays off. Lem reminds us that it's often the second or third follow-up that gets a response, so don't give up after the first attempt. What to Avoid: Generic copy + paste pitches. Personalisation is key, and impersonal pitches rarely work. Surface-level or clichéd content. Pitches around generic themes like “empowerment” can fall flat unless deeply aligned with the show's tone and values. Underestimating corporate processes. Creative ideas often need multiple layers of approval in corporate media, so set realistic expectations. Unclear communication or surprises. Unexpected changes, especially around compensation, can jeopardise relationships. This episode is packed with actionable insights and behind-the-scenes wisdom for anyone in PR, media, or the creator economy.

After Covid, we learned we didn't' know our customers as well as we thought we did, yet all we do is centered around our customers. So, it's an important time to utilize technology and augment marketing portfolios to truly meet the needs of your customers and give them an outlet to share their stories.You always have to be in change motion. You can't build your portfolio or event after it's been created: you have to constantly poke at it and make necessary changes. Otherwise, you're behind.As a marketer, you need to ask yourself: what am I trying to accomplish? Everything about your program is built from understanding your end goal.Quote:“So we've really started to augment our portfolio to meet the needs of our customers. So I think you always have to be in this change motion, change motion. I think you can't build your portfolio anymore, build your event, leave it and be like, this works and then just let it go. You can't, you constantly, constantly have to be poking at it and have to be making changes… You have to be willing to make changes. You have to look at what you're doing. And I say like, look at what you're doing. Change 50%. You know, listen, the times are changing, we change, the way we do business is changing, our priorities are changing, and if you're not making those changes, you're behind.”Sponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com, the #1 Conversational Marketing platform for companies that use Salesforce and the secret weapon for Demand Gen pros.

Today on the show I talk with my friend Cameron Herold about the frightening, but extremely profitable, step for your business of hiring a second in command. As entrepreneurs, we are often bogged down by the menial tasks of running the business that we never get to spend time growing the business or doing the parts of it that we love. Cameron's perspective is so valuable in helping us see the importance of hiring a second in command, understanding who to hire for this role, and knowing the right steps to accomplish this game-changing goal. Take back your life and structure your business from the top down in a way that serves you and gives you the bandwidth to create the fulfilled life that you desire! Key Takeaways Know when it's time to bring in administrative help, and then eventually a second in command. Building your business to have a solid second in command will free you up to do the things that you love. Reframe the way you think about hiring. You shouldn't view it as an expense but as gaining an asset that will generate more revenue. It's your business, you get to make the rules. You are the only reason you are still doing the work that you hate.

A positive workplace culture can be the difference between a thriving and barely surviving team; between people staying because they love their job and people eagerly searching to work somewhere else. When managers create an environment that is welcoming, trusting, and encourages creativity and feedback, people will find more overall satisfaction in their work. But how does a manager actually create this type of culture, especially on remote teams? Today’s guest is Abhishek Nayak. As a co-founder and CEO of four startups, one of which was funded by Sequoia Capital, Abhishek is well-versed in the art of starting and scaling a business. But during a stint as an entrepreneur-in-residence at Accel, he discovered how much time engineers spend building internal applications, so he and two co-founders created Appsmith to put customizable app tools directly into developers’ hands. The once-small, open-source project is now used by over 10,000 teams, employs people in sixteen countries, and has raised over $51 million in capital. Abishek and I talk about how he’s built an incredible team and culture for his fully remote business. He shares the lessons he’s learned and steps he’s taken to support his people along the journey from a small co-located team, through the disruption of COVID, to a fully remote, global company with over 120 employees.

Betty Mutwiri, PCC PhDc is a professional coach, consultant and facilitator passionate about maximizing the potential of individuals, teams and organizations. Betty leverages her experience as a senior leader in the public sector for the last two decades to provide insightful coaching and consulting on talent development, change leadership and EDI. Betty is currently the CEO (Chief Encouragement Officer) of BM Leadership Coaching and Consulting Inc., a boutique firm that partners with leaders to maximize their impact, navigate complex team challenges and increase engagement. She was the catalyst for Black Women Leaders SK, a diverse group of thirteen women who have co-authored a book entitled: " Courage, Change, Faith, Leadership: Inspiring narratives from Black Women Leaders" CONNECT WITH US Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackwomenleaderssask/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blackwomenleaderssask Twitter: https://twitter.com/blkwomenleadsk Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/black-women-leaders-sask/ E-mail: contact@blackwomenleadersask.com Gala Event- https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/black-women-leaders-sask-book-launch-gala-tickets-509790114957 Key Takeaways: Know your strengths - When working with a large group of women and coordinating on one project, it is important to understand your values and make sure you all stay on the same page. Betty expressed the importance of being clear with one another. She shared that finding their values and purposes was not difficult. What was more challenging was understanding how they can all work together with the fact that they were all interesting and diverse people. They worked under collective leadership. They talked about collaboration, respect, professionalism and focus. People stepped up based on their strengths. Adjust yourself based on feedback - The writing process required a lot of writing and rewriting. When talking about your personal stories within a limited amount of pages it is important to condense information and be precise. Share your stories - Betty noticed a lack of leadership stories being told by black people, more specifically black women. Along with her team, she decided that they should be the ones to tell their own stories. It is important not to let other people tell your story for you, because they don't have that same lived experience. You need to share your own story in your own words. Your experience matters - Through the book, Betty hopes to ignite conversations. She wants people to reflect on the impact they wish to leave in the world. She wants people to be inspired to find their voices, take their space, and lead from a place of strength. Experiences should not be diminished, we need to share them. We all need to be more understanding and have more empathy. Afterall, we share the same universe.

We also dive into some financial best practices board members should be participating in, the differences between the audit, finance, and investment committees, and we touch on deferred compensation. We had a great time speaking with Rob, and we love discussing nonprofit financials because we know how important it is and how misunderstood it can be. Key Takeaways: Know how to best engage your board members. Each one has a unique skill and expertise, set yourself up for success by having them help you with what they are best at. The 990 is one of the most transparent documents you will share with the public. It is important that more than just the accountant and CPA firm are involved with the creation of the 990. Ensure you have controls around restricted gifts. You want to be able to show your donors that you can preserve their intentions.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Know what hat you're wearing - we've got to be very clear about how we signal the people working in our team in what capacity we are speaking. Business is an ecosystem and we all have our specific job to do. It's not your IP, it's not your brand, it's not all the other things that we put together, it's who you are as you appear in front of your client. Linking to the passion that you do things with becomes self-energizing, and that becomes your strength. When you appear more authentic, you will come across as more credible - when you connect better you create more sales Have a strategy about being as decisive as doing what you are not going to do and what you're going to do. Everything business does either makes the brand or breaks the brand. RESOURCES MENTIONED: QBQ! Jon G Miller. The question behind the question.

Vikas Pal Boaddh is the Senior Strategic Marketing and Pricing Leader at Honeywell. He started out as a Software Engineer but has switched careers after getting an MBA in Marketing and General Management. His pricing journey in Honeywell was a happy accident for him. His startup in Food Tech wasn't working in his early years, so he was introduced to Honeywell's pricing team. Now, he's been with them for 10 years. In this episode, Vikas discusses why value-based pricing is the right thing to do and shares why understanding how your customer thinks is a must in dealing with pricing. Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover how important it is for you to understand the customer's business first before making them understand how much money they're going to make once they buy your product; Understand the four pillars of pricing frameworks in organization; and Find out how you can become more efficient in pricing through tips that will help you avoid repeatedly doing the same thing with progress. “When you have an opportunity to price something, first, go and try to talk to the customers.” – Vikas Pal Boaddh Topics Covered: 01:44 – The happy accident that led to Vikas joining Honeywell 02:48 – What's in the cost plus model that made Vikas passionate about it? 04:35 – Two things to take note of when implementing value-based pricing 05:51 – How Honeywell understands customers and their business 09:37 – Where should pricing sit in an organization? 10:53 – The difference in the roles of a pricing person and a product manager 12:32 – The first pillar in pricing frameworks for an organization 14:03 – The three other pillars of pricing organization 16:19 – The competition of having the credit for the price 18:36 – Where does Vikas put the focus when trying to become more efficient? 21:35 – Vikas' pricing advice for listeners Key Takeaways: “Know the customers inside out.

If someone doesn't know [their customers], they will find it difficult to implement value-based [pricing].” – Vikas Pal Boaddh “It's the pricing person's job to talk to the customers. Ask them about all the things which goes in their business, understand them, model them, dollarize them, and then set the price.” – Vikas Pal Boaddh “As a pricing person, I have a key say in what the price should be, but I just said, the people who own the product – for example, operating managers – they are the people who are kind of holding the price for that. They should be doing a final sign off on that. As a pricing person, it's my role to provide all kinds of inputs and guidance to help them reach there.” – Vikas Pal Boaddh People / Resources Mentioned: Food Tech:https://www.foodtech.com/ Honeywell:https://www.honeywell.com/us/en Connect with Vikas Pal Boaddh: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vikas-boaddh-673a896/?originalSubdomain=my Email: Vikas0903@gmail.com Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Finding the balance between value and cost are helpful, high price does not always equate to high value. Tourism is designed to play on your emotions. They know when people are on vacation they expect to pay more money. How can you get the benefits from a vacation experience without the added vacation price points? Build on your network to get insights into local and free options for attractions and safe areas to stay off the beaten path. Don't fight the crowds, your budget will thank you for it. Traveling and eating during non-peak days and times can help save money. Look for ways to optimize your budget to design the experience. How might you hack gift cards, gift experiences for birthdays or holidays, or research options within the attractions. While the example shared was from a health insurance benefit, you can often find gift cards savings through other sites or benefits. We have also gotten free baseball game tickets by completing a kids science program. What aspects of your travel budget actually qualify as a vacation expense versus living expense. If you maintain a similar lifestyle while on vacation you can maintain the spending in your traditional budget categories. For example, groceries and gas might be similar to your typical living expenses. Try to align expectations through the lens of the kids. Many of the aspects of vacations that parents imagine will be outside the conscious minds of your kids, especially at earlier ages. Try to engage the kids voice in the planning and decision making when appropriate. Travel with infants and toddlers is relatively inexpensive. Their tickets and admission are free or discounted, and often don't add much to the cost of accommodations. While traveling at every age is fun, don't discount travel with infants. Infants can't retain the books we read, but that doesn't mean we don't do it. Travel can support many aspects of their development.

Linda Johnston came to the Isle of Arran, Scotland on a contract as a physical education teacher. The island had no swimming pool, and so, to build and pay for a pool, she and her husband did the next logical thing - buy a country house hotel. Over thirty years on, Auchrannie Resort consists of the original hotel, two swimming pools, a spa resort, leisure facilities, a number of co-ownership lodges, retreats, a playbarn and much more. Linda had no previous experience running a business, but she’s committed to learning, growing and putting in the hard work. Conscious of wanting to retire in the future, to ensure Auchrannie is left in good hands, they have moved to employee ownership. It’s a fascinating concept putting people over profits, and we discuss that and much more in this episode. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS We start off by discussing the pool that started it all and go on to discuss: The employee ownership model The percentage of business that comes from dog lovers Developing a strong relationship with your bank Walking the walk when prioritizing your staff Creating a consistent, quality guest experience Creativity in the hospitality sector KEY TAKEAWAYS Know your values.

Robert Glazer is the founder and CEO of global performance marketing agency, Acceleration Partners. He is also the co-founder and Chairman of BrandCycle. In addition to being a serial entrepreneur, Robert has a passion for helping individuals and organizations build their capacity to outperform. Under his leadership, Acceleration Partners has received numerous company culture awards, including #4 on Glassdoor's Employees' Choice Awards, Ad Age's Best Place to Work, Entrepreneur's Top Company Culture, Inc. Magazine's Best Place to Work, Great Place to Work & Fortune's Best Small & Medium Workplaces and Boston Globe's Top Workplaces. Robert is a columnist for both Forbes and Inc. and regularly contributes to numerous outlets, including Entrepreneur, Fast Co, Huffington Post and Success Magazine. He writes on topics ranging from performance marketing and entrepreneurship to company culture, capacity-building, hiring and leadership. He also shares ideas and insights around these topics via Friday Forward, a weekly inspirational newsletter that is followed by over 45,000 leaders worldwide. Robert is a strong believer in giving back. He serves on the Board of Directors for BUILD Boston, is a global leader in Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and founder of The Fifth Night charitable event (www.fifthnight.org). Today we take an inside look at the practices and principles that Robert employs in his company and how that impacts culture, performance and profitability. As a CEO himself, Robert advises leaders to know who you are as a leader, what you expect from your team and to be consistent around that. Vision, core values, goals and targets all contribute to the culture of your organization and must be front and center at all times. How do you find good people? Robert explains the importance of emphasizing your unique culture during the hiring process, creating the space for the right people to show up and the wrong people to self-deselect. Capacity building is not about volume – getting more done in a day – it's about better outcomes. In fact, often it's fewer inputs but the right things that lead to better outcomes. Robert finishes our conversation by unpacking the 4 domains in which he helps his people build their capacity – both personally and professionally – and offers several fun and creative examples on how you can do the same. Key Takeaways Know who you are as a leader and what you expect, and be consistent around that. Defining a good culture is not a universal thing. A good culture is right for some and not for others. One of the biggest frustrations employees have is when what is said and what is done are two different things. Your core values are an internal thing – within the DNA of the best people at your company. If you have a tough decision to make, one or more of your company's core values should guide you in that. When a mistake is made or there's a client problem, create the opportunity for everyone to learn from it not just the person or department directly involved. Capacity building is not about volume, getting more done in a day, it's about better outcomes. In fact often it's fewer inputs but the right things that lead to better outcomes.
