Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
"Come as you are works in Japan when leaders are also willing to read the air and meet people where they are". "Japan isn't as risk-averse as people think; it is uncertainty avoidance and consensus norms like nemawashi and ringi-sho that slow decisions". "In Japan, numbers are universal, but how people feel about those numbers is where real leadership begins". "For foreign leaders, kindness, patience, and genuine curiosity are far more powerful than charisma or title". "Women leaders who embrace their own style, instead of copying male role models, can quietly transform Japanese workplaces". Joanne Lin is Senior Director, APAC, for Deckers Brands, the American company behind UGG, HOKA, and Teva. Born in Taiwan and raised in Canada, she later completed her MBA at Boston University and began her career in Boston, working in a trading company and then at Merrill Lynch Investment Company. In 2000, she moved to Japan for family reasons and has since built a 25-year leadership career in this complex market. In Japan, Joanne first held senior finance roles, including Head of Finance for Reebok Japan and CFO for Aegis Media, where she worked on mergers and acquisitions. She joined Deckers over thirteen years ago as CFO for Japan and was later asked to step in as interim Country Manager for Deckers Japan. Today she is back in an APAC-wide role, responsible for finance and strategy across 15 markets, including Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. Her remit covers subsidiaries and distributor markets alike, requiring constant adaptation across cultures. Throughout her journey, Joanne has learned to reconcile a direct, North American style with Japan's more implicit, consensus-driven culture. Often mistaken for Japanese because of her appearance, she calls herself the "invisible gaijin", using that ambiguity to observe carefully, read body language, and bridge cultural expectations. Her leadership story is one of resilience, curiosity, and the quiet confidence to lead as herself in a country that often expects conformity. Joanne Lin's leadership journey began far from Japan. Born in Taiwan and raised in Toronto, she grew up immersed in North American directness, meritocracy, and straight-talking feedback. After completing an MBA at Boston University, she started her career in Boston, first at a trading company and then at Merrill Lynch Investment Company, building a strong foundation in finance. Numbers, ratios, and cash flows were her native business language long before she ever heard the phrase kūki o yomu — "reading the air" — in Japan. In 2000, she moved to Japan for family reasons, expecting to build a career but not realising how deeply the culture would challenge her assumptions about leadership. She entered the corporate world here without Japanese language skills and without local experience. Physically, many colleagues assumed she was Japanese, or at least of Japanese descent, and treated her accordingly. She jokes that she became an "invisible gaijin": expected to understand unspoken rules despite never having grown up with them. Early on, she discovered that in Japan, silence often speaks louder than words. Concepts akin to nemawashi — the quiet groundwork of building consensus before meetings — and the unspoken pressure to align with the group meant that decisions rarely came from a single, charismatic leader. Instead, she had to watch faces, posture and micro-reactions around the table. While she came from an environment where people said "yes" or "no" clearly, in Japan phrases like "I'll think about it" could mean "no" 80% of the time. Learning to interpret these signals became as important as reading the P&L. Her career advanced steadily through senior finance roles: Head of Finance for Reebok Japan, CFO for Aegis Media leading M&A, and later CFO for Deckers Japan. Over thirteen years at Deckers, she helped steer the growth of brands such as UGG and the fast-rising performance brand HOKA in one of the world's most competitive footwear markets. Eventually, she was asked to serve as interim Country Manager for Deckers Japan, an opportunity that tested her ability to go beyond numbers and lead entire functions including sales, marketing, HR and retail. Joanne's leadership philosophy is grounded in being genuine and transparent. She believes in explaining the "why" behind decisions, giving context, and aligning people rather than simply seeking agreement. She spends time helping non-finance colleagues understand what gross margin, discounts and operating income mean in practical terms, translating finance into everyday language rather than using it as a gatekeeping tool. Engagement surveys, where Japan often scores modestly compared with global benchmarks, have been a recurring theme in her work. Rather than blaming culture, she looks at how questions are worded, how norms shape responses, and then uses those insights to design practical remedies — from "lunch and learn" sessions to cross-functional gatherings and new-joiner lunches with senior leaders. As a woman leader, Joanne has wrestled with impostor syndrome yet chosen to step forward anyway. She sees many high-potential women in Japan holding back, waiting to be "perfect" before raising their hand. Her message to them is clear: trust yourself, recognise your natural strengths in communication and empathy, and accept that no leader — male or female — is ever fully ready. In the end, her story is about blending global experience with local nuance, leading with kindness and clarity, and proving that one can honour Japanese culture while still bringing a distinct, authentic leadership style to the table. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? For Joanne, leadership in Japan is defined by what is not said. The real meeting often happens before and after the official meeting, through nemawashi, where stakeholders quietly shape outcomes. In the room, kūki o yomu — reading the air — is critical: leaders must observe body language, side glances and subtle hesitations to interpret what people truly think. Formal tools like ringi-sho workflows, built on stamped approvals and consensus, reinforce a collective approach to decision-making. Japanese employees often assume the leader should already know their needs without them having to say it. That expectation of intuitive understanding, combined with a strong norm of harmony, makes empathetic listening and patience indispensable leadership skills. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives often arrive with a Western template: clear targets, rapid decisions, direct feedback. In Japan, that can clash with a culture that prizes stability, seniority and group consensus. Leaders may misinterpret indirect communication as indecisiveness or lack of ambition, when in fact people are carefully weighing the impact on the group. Engagement surveys then show Japan at the bottom of global rankings, and headquarters misreads this as disengagement, rather than a reflection of conservative scoring norms. Many foreign leaders also underestimate how much time must be invested in trust-building, one-on-one conversations, and slow-burn relationship work before people feel safe to share ideas or challenge the status quo. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Joanne sees Japan as more uncertainty-avoidant than risk-averse in the pure financial sense. As a finance professional, she knows that commercial risk can be quantified — through scenarios, ratios and forecasts. But in Japan, the social and reputational risks loom equally large: who will be blamed if this fails, what will it do to group harmony, how will customers react? These uncertainty factors slow decisions more than the numbers themselves. Leaders who introduce tools like decision intelligence platforms, scenario simulation or even digital twins of supply chains can help Japanese teams see risk in a structured way, reducing the emotional fear around uncertainty and making experimentation feel safer. What leadership style actually works? The style that works for Joanne is grounded in transparency, modesty and consistency. She leads by example, explaining not only what must be done, but why, and what it means for individuals and teams. She tries to give her people "airtime", resisting the urge — common to many finance leaders — to jump straight to the solution. In practice, that means listening to ideas without immediate judgement, thanking people publicly for their input, and celebrating small wins as much as big milestones. She maintains high standards but increasingly recognises that not everyone should be held to the same work rhythm she sets for herself. Alignment, not forced agreement, is the goal: people may disagree but still commit to the path once they feel heard. How can technology help? Technology, in Joanne's world, is not just about efficiency; it is a bridge between data and human behaviour. Advanced analytics, dashboards and decision-support tools can make trade-offs between margin, volume and investment more tangible for non-finance teams. AI-driven text analysis of engagement comments can surface themes that traditional surveys miss, helping leaders understand sentiment behind Japan's modest scoring patterns. Scenario modelling and digital twins of operations can turn abstract risks into concrete options, making it easier for consensus-driven teams to move forward. At its best, technology supports nemawashi by giving everyone a shared, data-informed picture, rather than replacing dialogue. Does language proficiency matter? Joanne arrived in Japan with no Japanese language ability and was forced to become an intense observer of body language and context. That experience convinced her that leadership is possible without fluency — but far more sustainable with it. Learning Japanese shows respect, reduces distance, and makes informal conversations and humour possible. Even basic proficiency helps leaders understand nuance in ringi documents, hallway chats, and customer feedback. She encourages foreign leaders to invest in language learning not as a checkbox, but as a signal of commitment to the market and to their teams. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Her core lesson is simple yet demanding: be kind, be open, and be yourself. Leaders should stop expecting perfection from themselves and from others, especially in a country where external shocks like currency swings, tariffs and pandemics can derail even the best-laid plans. Instead, they should focus on doing their best, communicating clearly, and treating people with respect. For women leaders especially, Joanne's message is to step forward even when self-doubt whispers otherwise — to recognise that their strengths in empathy, communication and cultural sensitivity are not "soft" add-ons but central to effective leadership in Japan. In the long run, success here is less about heroics and more about steady, human-centred leadership that people genuinely want to follow. Timecoded Summary [00:00] The conversation opens with an introduction to Deckers Brands, the American company headquartered in Santa Barbara and best known in Japan for UGG, HOKA and Teva. Joanne explains that Deckers historically functions as a holding-style company, acquiring and growing footwear brands, and that Japan is a key market where three major brands are active. She outlines her current role as Senior Director, APAC, overseeing finance and strategy across 15 countries, including both subsidiaries and distributor markets. [05:20] Joanne traces her career arc: Taiwanese by birth, raised in Canada, MBA from Boston University, then finance roles in Boston with a trading company and Merrill Lynch Investment Company. In 2000 she relocates to Japan for family reasons, later becoming Head of Finance for Reebok Japan and CFO for Aegis Media, working on M&A. She joins Deckers over thirteen years ago as CFO for Japan and eventually steps into an interim Country Manager role, before returning to a wider APAC mandate based in Japan. [12:45] The discussion shifts to cultural adjustment. Because she "looks Japanese", colleagues initially assume she understands Japanese norms. She describes becoming an "invisible gaijin", held to local expectations without having grown up here. She learns to read the air, focusing on facial expressions, body language and context. Phrases like "I'll consider it" often conceal a "no", and she gradually becomes adept at interpreting such indirect communication. Her direct North American instincts must be tempered by Japanese expectations for restraint and harmony. [19:30] Finance and human reactions to numbers come into focus. Joanne notes that while sales, gross margin and SG&A appear objective, different functions interpret them in varied ways: finance may celebrate high margins while sales may worry they are under-investing. She stresses the importance of explaining financial concepts in simple terms, almost as if speaking to a 10-year-old, so that everyone can understand consequences. Her temporary shift from CFO to GM broadens her empathy for non-finance views and deepens her appreciation for cross-functional tension. [26:10] Attention turns to team engagement and communication. Japan's engagement survey scores routinely trail global averages, a pattern she attributes partly to cultural modesty and translation issues. Instead of accepting low scores as fate, she focuses on post-survey action: leaders are asked to talk openly with teams, understand expectations, and co-create remedies. Concrete initiatives such as "lunch and learn" sessions and new-joiner lunches with directors help break silos, humanise leadership and create informal nemawashi-like spaces where people can ask questions and share concerns. [33:40] Joanne discusses culture-building under the umbrella of Deckers' "Come as you are" value. She supports self-expression — even store staff in gender-fluid fashion — as long as it's tasteful and customer-appropriate. Her own leadership style is to be genuine, transparent and open about vulnerabilities. She balances the efficiency of top-down directives with the long-term benefits of participation: while consensus-building and alignment take time, they reduce turnover, re-training costs and disengagement. [40:15] Gender and leadership come into sharper focus. Joanne recounts her own bouts of impostor syndrome and the temptation, earlier in her career, to doubt her readiness for bigger roles. She notes that many women hesitate to raise their hands until they feel almost 100% qualified, while men may step up with far less. She encourages aspiring women leaders to recognise their strengths in empathy and nuanced communication, to "give it a try" even when not fully confident, and to view setbacks as learning rather than final verdicts. [47:30] The interview closes with advice for foreign leaders coming to Japan. Joanne emphasises being open, respectful and kind — to oneself and to others. She urges leaders to accept that Japan's deep-rooted culture will not change in a short posting, and that success depends on adapting rather than trying to remodel the country. Learning Japanese, even imperfectly, is both a sign of respect and a practical tool for building trust. Ultimately, she argues, effective leadership in Japan is about balancing data and humanity, global standards and local nuance, ambition and empathy.

This OG of directly contracted high-value networks or Centers of Excellence networks came up, name dropped and everything in the episode with Elizabeth Mitchell from PBGH, the Purchaser Business Group on Health, from two weeks ago. That was episode 491. So, welcome to this deep cut episode with Olivia Ross from way back, pre-pandemic times. This episode of Relentless Health Value revisits the concept of directly contracted high value networks or Centers of Excellence (ECEN) with Olivia Ross. The discussion explores the impact and potential of the ECEN network, emphasizing the importance of quality, price transparency, and multidisciplinary approaches in healthcare. Olivia delves into the reasons why ECEN was significant in past PBGH projects and its current relevance, despite its eventual dismantling due to corporate changes. The episode highlights the benefits for employers in creating their own high-value networks and the positive outcomes from fewer unnecessary surgeries and better quality care. Additionally, it covers the rigorous process of selecting Centers of Excellence and how continuous quality improvement efforts benefit both employers and healthcare providers. === LINKS ===

On this episode, I cover the ABCs of professional communication, just as I teach them to my MBA students. One of the simplest ways to elevate your professional communication—whether you're writing an email, pitching a strategy, or presenting to senior leaders—is to filter your message through three words: Active, Brief, and Clear. They sound basic, almost obvious. But in practice, they create a powerful discipline that separates high-quality communicators from everyone else. Active: Own the Message Active communication is energetic, direct, and accountable. It starts with the choice to use active voice—"We analyzed the data" instead of "The data was analyzed"—but it goes beyond grammar. Being active signals leadership. It tells your audience who is responsible, what action is being taken, and why it matters. It brings confidence to your tone, clarity to your reasoning, and momentum to your message. Brief: Respect Attention Being brief isn't about cutting until your message feels hollow. It's about stripping away anything that dilutes the point. In a world full of competing priorities and overloaded inboxes, brevity is a form of respect. Shorter sentences, concrete words, clear slide titles, and focused agendas make your message easier to absorb—and easier to act on. Brevity doesn't mean simplicity of thought; it means simplicity of delivery. You're curating the signal, not broadcasting the whole noise. Clear: Make Understanding Effortless Clarity is the culmination of the first two principles. When your message is active and brief, clarity emerges naturally—but it still needs intention. Clear communication uses plain language, not jargon. It uses structure—beginning, middle, end—to guide your audience. It uses formatting and visual hierarchy to make information scannable. Above all, it ensures that your audience never wonders: What does this mean, and what should I do with it? Clarity is not optional. It's the price of admission for influencing decisions. Why ABC Matters When communication is active, brief, and clear, it's easier to trust—and harder to misunderstand. Your audience feels more confident in you. They're more likely to remember your message. And they're far more likely to act. Whether you're writing a memo, drafting a slide deck, or speaking in a meeting, the ABCs give you a repeatable way to refine your thinking and elevate your delivery. Active shows ownership. Brief shows respect. Clear shows mastery. Together, they define the core of effective business communication.

Choosing the right pricing model can make or break a project, and understanding fixed bid vs time and materials is essential for developers, consultants, and business owners alike. In Part 2 of our Building Better Foundations interview with Charly Leetham, we explore the complexities behind scoping work, managing expectations, and balancing fairness with sustainability. This conversation dives into real experiences—both successful and painful—that highlight how important clarity is when building custom software or digital solutions. About Charly Leetham Charly Leetham brings more than 40 years of hands-on experience in building practical, reliable systems for small businesses. She earned her amateur radio license at 13, became an electronic engineer by 21, and completed her MBA while working full-time and raising two young children. Her career has spanned technical support, sales, project management, and client services, giving her a deep understanding of both technology and people. After running multiple franchises and overcoming a major business setback, she founded Ask Charly Leetham—now a long-standing digital services company supporting clients across Australia, the U.S., and beyond. Known for her clear, no-nonsense approach, Charly specializes in turning complex tech into simple, workable solutions. She also hosts Rise and Shine – Your Business Tech Boost, offering practical guidance to business owners who want answers they can trust. Facebook, Twitter / X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website Fixed Bid vs Time and Materials: When Fixed Pricing Works Charly begins by explaining that fixed bid pricing only works when the scope is tight, clear, and measurable. If she can define every deliverable—content length, number of pages, number of images, required effort—then fixed pricing is a win for both sides. Everyone knows what will be delivered and at what cost. "Fixed bid requires fixed scope. If you can't list every deliverable, you shouldn't fix the price." – Charly Leetham But when the work involves unknowns, research, or variable technical challenges, time and materials become the safer, more honest approach. When ambiguity is present, Charly often starts with a one-hour or two-hour discovery block before offering a detailed estimate. Fixed Bid vs Time and Materials: Owning the Estimate One powerful theme from Charly's perspective is ownership. If she commits to a fixed price and the work takes longer than expected—yet stays within the original requirements—she believes it's her responsibility, not the client's problem. She compares it to car maintenance: if a mechanic quotes you a fixed price for an oil change, you don't pay extra because it took them longer internally. "If I overestimated my abilities, that's on me—not the client." Michael shares a similar story from his own experience: a large fixed-bid software project that went significantly over budget due to missed requirements and "muscle memory" business processes the client never mentioned. Even after months of discovery, unseen complexity still appeared late in development—forcing a learning experience the hard way. Hidden Requirements: The Biggest Threat to Fixed Bid Work One of the biggest takeaways from the episode is how hidden systems and unspoken workflows can wreck a fixed price project. Rob and Charly both describe situations where: Staff used spreadsheets leadership didn't know about Legacy systems connected to new tools in undocumented ways Workers avoided tools they disliked, creating shadow processes Teams hadn't been trained on the system they were supposed to use Business processes had evolved, but documentation had not These are the real reasons fixed bids go off the rails. Not because developers fail—but because the truth of the workflow is often hidden beneath assumptions. If you don't see the real workflow, your scope is incomplete. Good requirements gathering means observing actual work—not just interviewing leadership. Learning vs Billing: Handling Complexity Fairly Another powerful point from Charly is knowing when to charge for expertise and when to absorb learning time. She tells a story about spending hours researching spam protection for a client. She only billed a fraction of that time, because much of it was her own learning. The next client benefited from that knowledge instantly—and paid a fair fixed price for the solution. That balance of fairness and sustainability is what keeps clients trusting you long-term. Final Thoughts: Getting Fixed Bid vs Time and Materials Right Charly ends with practical advice for developers: stay clear and intentional. Whether you're working fixed bid or time and materials, understand what you're building, pause when you're stuck, and talk through problems with someone. Much of the development clarity comes from simply stating the issue aloud. In the end, fixed bid vs time and materials isn't just about pricing. It's about transparency, expectations, and knowing when each model protects both the client and the developer. With strong communication, clear requirements, and honest scoping, you set the foundation for projects that deliver value without surprises.

In this episode of The Spine Pod, hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Kamal Woods, a double fellowship-trained surgeon in both orthopedics and neurosurgery, and founder of Vertrae® in Miamisburg, Ohio. Dr. Woods received his medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine and completed a fellowship in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery from Cedars‑Sinai Medical Center. He later earned his MBA from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, further deepening his understanding of the complex healthcare ecosystem and how to improve it. Since then, he has gone on to build a patient-centered practice rooted in the belief that one size does not fit all when it comes to spine care. Whether a patient needs a non‑surgical treatment, minimally invasive surgery, or motion‑preserving option, the goal remains the same: restore mobility, alleviate pain, and help patients return to what they love most. Throughout the episode, Dr. Woods shares his philosophy of combining surgical precision with compassionate, personalized care. He also discusses the importance of having a full “toolbox” of treatments, from conservative care and robotic‑assisted techniques to artificial disc replacement, and why patient education and shared decision‑making are essential. He goes on to share how his background, far from conventional, has shaped his patient‑first mindset and his vision for modern spine care. In this episode, you'll learn: Why motion preservation is more than a trend, it's about protecting function and long-term quality of life. How insurance and reimbursement barriers can impact patient care, and the changes needed to move the field forward. Why outpatient, motion-preserving spine care is gaining momentum and what it takes to build a successful model. How Dr. Woods prioritizes patients through individualized treatment plans for those dealing with chronic leg and back pain. Why enabling technologies such as navigation and robotics are expanding into more surgical facilities. How Vertrae® is driving local innovation through education, community events, and an empowering patient-centered care model. Drawing on his childhood roots in Saint Vincent, his surgical training in California, and the practice he's built in Ohio, Dr. Woods is shaping an innovative spine care model centered on motion preservation—designed to help patients return to the activities they love, all in one integrated setting. Whether you're a surgeon focused on emerging technologies, an industry professional tracking care trends, or a patient seeking clarity in a crowded spine landscape, this episode delivers compelling insights on how treatment pathways are shifting and how modern practice models are evolving.

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
What do you do when your trust is broken, or when people start questioning your trustworthiness? Chances are, you're left feeling unsure, even overwhelmed. Most of us don't really understand how trust works, so trying to fix it can feel impossible.In this episode, Peter Kim from USC's Marshall School of Business breaks it down for us. Drawing from his book How Trust Works, he shares over twenty years of research on what makes people trustworthy, why trust gets broken, and how relationships can actually be repaired.Join us for a conversation about the science of trust and discover what it really takes to build, break, and restore the connections that matter most.Listen and Learn: Why trust is essential for cooperation, even though it makes us vulnerable, and how people who choose to trust ultimately function and flourish better than those who don'tHow trust is defined as a willingness to be vulnerable in situations involving real risk, and why acting as if you trust someone is not the same as truly trusting themHow trust violations fall into competence or integrity, and how we weigh positive and negative information differently for each, shaping how we perceive and respond to others' actionsThe effectiveness of apologies depends on whether a violation is seen as a matter of competence or integrity, and how our motivation to preserve relationships influences the way we interpret and respond to wrongdoingMoving beyond black-and-white judgments of right and wrong to explore the gray areas in human behavior and foster a more nuanced understanding and dialogueHow to begin rebuilding trust by acknowledging the other person's concerns, assuming shared core values, and creating a safe space for honest, collaborative conversation, even when opinions deeply differWhy apologies for integrity violations are so hard to accept, and ways to reframe actions or create narratives that allow people to recognize errors and pursue redemptionResources: How Trust Works: The Science of How Relationships Are Built, Broken, and Repaired https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781250838155 Peter's Website: https://peterhkim.com Connect with Peter on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterkim/ My Octopus Teacher movieAbout Peter Kim Peter is a Professor at USC's Marshall School of Business, where he teaches some of the most popular MBA courses around—probably because everyone wants to know why their apologies keep backfiring.

All of us show up with multiple identities (partner, parent, revolutionary, etc.). How do we, as therapists, get better at existing in discomfort and creating space where everyone can explore without rushing to define themselves? Santiago Delboy, MBA, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and founder of Fermata Psychotherapy, a psychoanalytic group practice in Chicago. I consider Santiago a true in-betweener (or, n'betweener©, the term coined by previous guest Nora Alwah for those who, like herself, feel suspended between two (or more) identities; not fully inhabiting one or the other). My assessment isn't an indictment; it's an invitation. How can we transmute the discomfort of the unknown into collective growth? GUEST BIO Santiago Delboy, MBA, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and founder of Fermata Psychotherapy, a psychoanalytic group practice in Chicago. He has provided clinical supervision and consultation at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis, the Institute for Clinical Social Work, and The Family Institute at Northwestern University. Prior to becoming a clinician, he spent over a decade working in the corporate world in Peru, his home country, and the U.S. His publications include essays in Psychoanalytic Dialogues, Psychoanalytic Inquiry, Revista de la Sociedad Peruana de Psicoanálisis, Aeon, and Psychology Today. *** Join the Group Practice (R)evolution!

On today's episode, we sit down with Sarah Kearney, Executive Director of Blue Zones Project Scottsdale, and Todd LaPorte, CEO of HonorHealth, to explore how Scottsdale is taking bold steps toward becoming a longer-living, more connected, and more vibrant community. Website: bluezonesprojectscottsdale.com Instagram: bzpscottsdale BACK STORY With more than 35 years of diverse healthcare experience, Todd LaPorte leads an integrated health system with nine acute-care hospitals, numerous outpatient facilities, a research institute, and various community services impacting social determinants of health and military preparedness. HonorHealth is one of Arizona's largest employers, with a presence throughout much of the growing Phoenix metropolitan area. Since joining HonorHealth in 2001, Todd has held executive roles in which he focused on financial and strategic leadership. He has shaped a system with many access points to provide convenient, high quality care for patients, and with an ability to coordinate care efficiently and effectively. HonorHealth governs with its medical staff one of the country's highest performing ACOs in the country. For most of his twenty years at HonorHealth, Todd served as the CFO. In April 2017, he became the 10th CEO in more than 150 years of its legacy firm history. Before joining HonorHealth, Todd held senior management roles for an international CPA firm that served Arizona healthcare clients, as well as clients in high-tech manufacturing and consumer services. He was also the CFO of a privately held healthcare company that served more than a half million Arizonans. Todd is the current board chair for the Health System Alliance of Arizona, an association of the five largest healthcare systems throughout the State. He is a member of Greater Phoenix Leadership (a CEO advocacy group) and is a board member of Experience Scottsdale (a visitor's bureau). He speaks frequently to Arizona State University MBA classes and community service organizations throughout the Valley of the Sun. Todd was named CFO of the Year by the Arizona chapter of the Financial Executives International in 2012 and was recognized by Becker's Hospital Review as one of the "125 Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know" in 2013. Todd has served as board chair for a chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the nationally acclaimed Scottsdale Aquatic Club and the Paradise Valley School District's supporting Foundation for Public Education. He holds a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Arizona and an MBA from Arizona State University. His four daughters all swam competitively at four different D-1 schools, so his college sweatshirt collection is quite confusing. Sarah Kearney leads Blue Zones Project Scottsdale as the Executive Director. Her leadership experience is diverse and rooted in community well-being, service, and forward-thinking optimism. She most recently worked for Experience Scottsdale, whose mission is to enhance the Scottsdale community through tourism. In Sarah's 16+ year tenure at the organization, she held several leadership roles and specialized in worldwide leisure sales, partner development strategy, membership and community engagement, program development, and more. Driven by her passion for the Scottsdale community, Sarah has served, led, and guided several local organizations, leaving a cross-sector imprint. She has served as the Board President for Scottsdale Leadership, the Board President for Community Celebrating Diversity, a Board Member for Scottsdale Sister Cities, the Officer of Membership for Millennials in Travel, and the Vice President of Community Outreach at GiGi's Playhouse Phoenix/Scottsdale. Sarah holds an MBA from the University of Phoenix and a B.A. in Communication from Arizona State University. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, reading, sports and spending time in the Scottsdale sunshine. She is a proud wife and hockey, dance, and dog mom to her two children and golden retriever.

For episode 316 of the Glass and Out Podcast we welcome CEO of Sports Innovation Lab Angela Ruggiero. She is best known as a 4x Olympian and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. She was a senior in high school when she played for Team USA and won gold at the 1998 Olympics in Nagano. In 2004 she won the Patty Kaizmeir Award as the top player in college hockey. She was also the first woman to play in a regular season professional hockey game in North America at a position other than goalie when she suited up for the Tulsa Oilers in a Central Hockey League game. However, her list of achievements extend well beyond her career as an athlete. That includes time as a member of the International Olympic Committee from 2010 to 2018. She served as a member of the Executive Board of the IOC after being elected Chairperson of the IOC Athletes' Commission, the body that represents all Olympic athletes worldwide, a post which she held from 2016 to 2018. She also has an MBA from Harvard and was a senior management associate with Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund in the world.

Nuestra invitada esta semana en Máximo Desempeño es Adriana Senior, CEO de la Corporación Colombia Internacional, experta en comercio internacional y agroindustria, y una líder visionaria que ha transformado la vida de millones de familias vulnerables en Colombia. Adriana tiene antepasados que se salieron del molde: su bisabuela fue alcaldesa de Facatativá y una de las primeras mujeres en usar pantalón en Colombia, su abuelo Alfonso Senior fue uno de los dirigentes deportivos más importante de la historia del país y revolucionó el fútbol colombiano. Desde niña descubrió su vocación de servicio escalando un árbol de cerezo para ver familias necesitadas y llevándoles mercado de su casa. Soñaba con ser escritora pero estudió Economía Internacional. Cuando se casó pensó ser ama de casa y a los tres meses ya estaba deprimida. Decidió emprender y eventualmente encontró su gran pasión en el sector agroindustrial. Su mayor desafío llegó cuando a su esposo Alejandro le diagnosticaron cáncer con pocas semanas de vida. Logró vivir seis años más. Tras su pérdida, Adriana se peleó con Dios por más de un año. Un día en el mediterráneo español, tras perder un vuelo, vio el cielo rojizo y gritó "¡Así es mi vida, como un infierno!". El color cambió a azul en un instante. Lo entendió como un mensaje y una nueva oportunidad. Retomó sus ganas de vivir, hizo dos MBAs graduándose con honores, retomó el deporte, volvió a encontrar el amor y entendió que todos los momentos difíciles tenían un propósito. Adriana vive bajo un lema poderoso: “No dejo que el tren pase sin subirme”. Además, Pablo profundiza en "La Urgencia de Experimentar la Vida Plenamente", una reflexión transformadora sobre por qué no estás ensayando para tu vida sino que esta ES tu vida. Descubre por qué tu cerebro está diseñado para mantenerte seguro, no para mantenerte vivo, y la diferencia es crucial para vivir plenamente, cómo los estudios sobre el arrepentimiento revelan que las personas no se arrepienten de lo que hicieron sino de lo que no hicieron, y por qué el arrepentimiento número uno de pacientes terminales es “ojalá hubiera tenido el coraje de vivir una vida fiel a mí mismo”. Aprende por qué la búsqueda de la perfección se convierte en el enemigo de la ejecución: los atletas que esperan sentirse 100% listos nunca compiten, los emprendedores que esperan el plan perfecto nunca lanzan, y cómo el concepto de flow state nos enseña que entramos en estado de fluidez cuando nos comprometemos completamente con el momento presente y dejamos de resistirnos a la incertidumbre. Un episodio que te desafiará a preguntarte: ¿Qué tren has dejado pasar por miedo, por comodidad, o por esperar el momento perfecto que nunca llega? ¿Qué conversación has estado posponiendo? ¿Qué proyecto has estado "preparando" durante meses? No hay rampa de lanzamiento perfecta. Hay solo este momento y tu elección de qué hacer con él. Esto no es un ensayo. Esta ES tu vida.
The email with the term sheet arrived first, then the bottle of champagne from the CEO, Jayme Brooks tells us. The lender had agreed to a nontraditional structure that allowed Capstone to borrow against intangible assets, creating a lifeline at a moment when revenue had dropped about 40% and market cap had fallen from roughly 400 million to 25 million, she tells us. Cost reductions, including a 25% reduction in force and ultimately a 50% cut in the cost structure, followed, she tells us. But the bridge financing meant the company could still fund payroll, buy supplies, and keep shipping microturbines.That moment caps years of learning “in the room.” Brooks began in engineering before shifting into accounting and public practice, she tells us. Controller roles in aerospace and a UK-owned division exposed her to debt, private equity, and board dynamics. She later accepted what looked like a step back—a director of financial reporting role at an unprofitable public company—because she wanted capital-markets experience and trusted a former CFO mentor, she tells us.Along the way, an MBA and countless investor calls broadened her view beyond “head down” execution. In the restructuring, she focused on explaining the “why” to suppliers, employees, and investors, securing payment plans and shared sacrifice so the business could survive, she tells us. Today, at Limbach, she continues to leverage external experts, integrate acquisitions, refine owner-direct metrics, and lead with an empathetic, trust-building style inspired in part by Leading with the Heart, she tells us.

Text us your questions and thoughts!What if the smartest move in your forties is starting over as an intern? In this episode, we sit down with Adi Aloni, Customer Success Leader, to unpack a rare kind of career resilience: going from an established career, to taking a leap into an MBA, to a humble reentry through a marketing internship, and then a decisive pivot into customer success leadership.

We discuss:Why active listening outperforms any script How to price time and expertise so “free” help doesn't become invisibleWhat it takes to maintain momentum when you choose to stay at one company for a decade AI's emerging role in customer successShe also shares why she believes that the grass isn't greener; it's better watered—especially when you have the right people, a product you believe in, and permission to shape your own role.This conversation will leave you inspired so tune in and enjoy.

When David Fajgenbaum nearly died of Castleman disease for the fifth time, he decided to take fate into his own hands. Using his medical training, he searched for an existing drug that might save his life—and found one. Now his organization, Every Cure, is scaling the same approach to uncover hidden treatments for other diseases with no known cure. David and Claudia discussed: How Every Cure is using AI to test 75 million possible disease-drug combinations The perverse incentives that keep generic drug repurposing in the shadowsWhy the hardest part of innovation isn't discovery, it's getting proven treatments into clinical practiceRepurposing existing drugs makes so much sense. But as David points out, there's no market for it:“Once a drug is generic.. the price is going to plummet… And even if you were to double the sales of your drug because you found a new disease area, now you've gone from 1% to 2% of what you got before… So there's no incentive whatsoever for our system to find a new use for a generic drug. Zero incentive.”Relevant LinksLearn more about Every CureRead David's book Chasing My Cure: A Doctor's Race to Turn Hope Into ActionWatch David's TEDTalk Listen to David's Podcast interview with Adam GrantGet info on the Dada2 FoundationWatch a video on Matt Might's story About Our GuestDavid Fajgenbaum, MD, MBA, MSc, is co-Founder & President of Every Cure and a physician-scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is one of the youngest faculty members ever to receive tenure at Penn Medicine. He is also the national bestselling author of Chasing My Cure: A Doctor's Race to Turn Hope Into Action, which is being adapted into a film by Forrest Gump producer Wendy Finerman. During medical school, Fajgenbaum discovered a treatment that saved his own life and founded the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network. He has advanced 13 more repurposed treatments for cancers and rare diseases and co-founded Every Cure to unlock more hidden cures from existing medicines which has received over $100M from ARPA-H and TED's Audacious Project.

Ever feel like you're hustling nonstop but still wondering, “Why isn't this moving faster?” Or maybe you've hit that invisible wall where the business is growing… yet somehow you're not growing with it? In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm jammin' with David Guttman, a serial entrepreneur, executive leader, and business strategist with over 35 years of building, scaling, and exiting multiple eight and nine-figure companies. This dude is a three-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur, has an undergrad in Computer Science from Brown University, an MBA from Wharton, and has led teams of hundreds while growing companies from near-bankruptcy to blockbuster exits. He's lived the startup grind, the CEO pressure-cooker, the investor negotiations, the due diligence marathons — all of it.But what makes David so special isn't the titles. He's lived real adversity, made real money, lost real sleep, and came out with clarity, humility, and wisdom worth borrowing.In this episode, we dive into everything from raising capital to avoiding the trap of traditional education… from avoiding burnout to leveraging AI… from building healthier relationships to firing your worst customers. The breadth of knowledge he brings is crazy, but the heart behind it is even better.David breaks down the single biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when trying to raise money or prepare for an exit, failing to budget and forecast. He explains why “dollar cost average into Bitcoin” may be smarter than chasing shiny objects, why AI will replace those who don't use it, and why authenticity beats any degree, credential, or fancy LinkedIn headline.Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:Your business is blind without a budget. If you're not forecasting, tracking, and adjusting, you're not running a company — you're gambling. A real financial model acts like a crystal ball and boosts your valuation instantly.Mentorship beats an MBA every time. David explains why working for a powerhouse leader (even for free) will fast-track your growth more than any traditional education ever could.Fire your worst customers. They drain 80% of your energy and slow your growth. Raise your price until they leave — or until they become worth it.AI is the new calculator — ignore it and get left behind. Spend a couple hours a week learning and applying it, and you'll leapfrog the competition. Avoid it, and you'll get replaced.Authenticity wins the long game. The world is noisy. People trust people — not institutions. Build a personal brand rooted in truth, service, and value.David also breaks down the real reason businesses stall during acquisitions, how to build the right board of advisors, why fast “no's” are better than slow “maybe's,” and why success feels empty unless your relationships, health, and integrity stay intact along the way.This episode is for every entrepreneur who wants to scale without losing themselves. For every hustler who wants to work smarter, earn more, and still be present for the people who matter. And for every dreamer who knows there's more in the tank, more impact, more purpose, more joy.If you're ready to level up how you build, how you lead, and how you live, then you've gotta tune into this full conversation. David drops tactical wisdom, real-world stories, and mindset shifts you'll want to revisit again and again.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? David says it's like, if you can enjoy the journey, then what's it all for?
