Tammy dissects the four major lies leaders told themselves that led to this catastrophic failure. You'll discover why a brand's most valuable asset lives in the memory and emotion of its customers—and what happens when you strip that away. This isn't just a story about a failed rebrand; it's a critical leadership lesson on the dangers of ignoring your core identity, failing to connect with your audience, and letting financial recklessness get disguised as innovation. Key Takeaways for Leaders Your Brand is an Emotion: A brand's value is rooted in nostalgia and emotional connection. Without it, your brand becomes soulless.

In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Cracker Barrel's $700 million rebrand led to a massive stock drop and customer backlash. The four communication lies leaders believed that led to this major misstep. How to prioritize brand integrity and emotional connection in your business strategy. Why ignoring customer sentiment is the most dangerous form of leadership. How to avoid being "dead right" by leading with both strategy and humility.

In AI, building great technology isn't enough. You can solve a real problem and still struggle to gain adoption. Why? Because Product-Market Fit in AI isn't just about function. It's about trust. That was the central theme in a recent conversation with Gemma Galdon-Clavell, founder of Eticas AI, and Collin Stewart. Their insights highlight why founders can't rely on old playbooks: Strong tech without trust still faces market reluctance. Compliance doesn't equal safety. Guardrails must be built in early. In immature markets, founder-led trust-building comes before scale. Referrals, not polite praise, are the real signal of PMF. Even good VC advice can kill you if it's mistimed. The message is simple: in AI, true PMF is fit plus trust. Highlights include: Adapting to Client Needs in AI Solutions (04:57), Guiding Clients Through Uncertainty (07:06), Evolving Customer Acquisition Strategies (08:02), The Importance of a Strong Management Team (10:21), Navigating VC Relationships (12:25), Marketing and Visibility Challenges (16:22), And more...

JotForm began nearly twenty years ago as a simple online form builder.  Today, it has grown into a platform powering millions of users and has recently stepped into a new era of AI. In this episode, Aytekin Tank, founder and CEO of JotForm, shares the story of how the company pivoted from forms to launching AI Agents that are changing the way small and medium-sized businesses handle customer support and automation. Aytekin explains how JotForm's AI journey started as an internal experiment to fill out forms by voice, only to discover that most users wanted it for customer service. That insight sparked the creation of JotForm AI Agents, tools that don't just answer questions, but perform tasks, scale support teams, and transform the customer experience.  Beyond the technology, Aytekin outlines a bold vision of the future where every business, no matter the size, will have its own AI-powered agent available around the clock to schedule appointments, answer questions, and even process transactions.  This conversation explores how AI is reshaping customer service and why small businesses, nonprofits, and educators stand to benefit the most from this wave of innovation.
