When I shared a carousel on Instagram titled “10 ‘Normal' Things I Didn't Know Were ADHD,” I had no idea it would resonate so deeply. Thousands of women flooded the comments with messages like, “I've never felt so seen,” and “Are you living in my brain?” and honestly, I felt the same way. That post didn't come from research or theory; it was my lived experience. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the surprising moment I discovered I have ADHD at 35 and how it's impacted every aspect of my life: from how I run my business to how I navigate motherhood. I share the signs I missed, the strengths ADHD gave me, the hidden challenges it created, and what I've experimented with to support my brain, like meds, movement, and microdosing. This is part personal story, part practical insight, and part love letter to every woman who's ever wondered why life sometimes feels harder than it “should.” If you've ever thought you were just “bad at life,” this episode is for you.

You know those moments in business where things suddenly feel a little too quiet? Maybe the inquiries slow down, sales dip, or your calendar just isn't as packed as usual. It can feel unsettling, especially when you're not sure why it's happening or how long it's going to last. The truth is, EVERY entrepreneur hits those slower seasons. In my business, summer tends to be our slow season. Depending on what you do, it may be around the holidays, or in the Fall. Having busy and slow seasons is a natural part of running a business. The most important thing is for us to make the most out of these ebbs and flows to prepare for when things pick back up again. That's why today I'm bringing back a conversation that originally aired a few years ago about four strategies I lean on when things slow down in my own business. They're timeless, practical, and focused on helping you use these quieter times to your advantage! So whether you're currently feeling the weight of a slower season or just want to be prepared for the next one, this episode is packed with four simple yet effective ways to reignite momentum and boost your sales. Let's get into it!

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) discusses software reversing and AI's transformative impact on cybersecurity with Caleb Fenton, co-founder of Delphos Labs. They explore how LLMs are revolutionizing the traditionally tedious work of analyzing compiled binaries, the nation-state cyber warfare landscape, and how AI is shifting security from reactive to proactive defense. They cover the technical details of malware analysis, the economics of vulnerability detection, and the broader implications as both defenders and attackers gain access to increasingly powerful AI tools. –Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/machine-learning-meets-malware-with-caleb-fenton/–Sponsor: MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

This summer, I am not focused on launching something new. I am focused on building something essential: playbooks. Clear, step-by-step documentation that makes our business run smoother, with or without me. Dan Martell's book Buy Back Your Time reminded me that real freedom comes from documented systems, not just delegation. And my friend Stacy Tuschl challenged us to not just build playbooks, but to test them. That hit hard! The truth is, I learned this lesson the hard way. One of my team members broke her foot during a major launch and suddenly we realized she was the only one who knew how to do a few key crucial elements of her job. From that moment on, I knew that if we wanted peace, to grow with ease, and to actually protect our people, we had to build the playbooks for each role. So, come along this journey with me while I explain what a playbook is, how we're building them out, and how we're testing them!

What happens when Instagram expert Brock Johnson grills me about my favorite platform? A rapid-fire strategy session that turned into a full-blown Pinterest masterclass. Originally recorded for Brock's podcast Build Your Tribe, this convo was too good not to share (listen to the original episode here!). In this conversation, we flipped roles: he asked the questions, I dished out the tactics, and the feedback was fire! We heard things like: “This reignited the fire, I'm jumping back into Pinterest!” and “Instagram is burning me out, and this is exactly what I needed.” If you're tired of chasing trends and want your content to actually last, this BONUS crossover episode is for you. So if you're burned out on Instagram, tired of chasing trends, or just curious how to get more mileage out of your content, this episode is your Pinterest crash course.

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (patio11) revisits his widely-shared negotiation essay, which he notes may be the most impactful thing he's done in his career aside from VaccinateCA. The essay covers the psychology and tactics of salary negotiation, emphasizing that engineers have turned being bad at negotiation into a "perverse badge of virtue" and that the financial stakes are enormous—a small salary increase compounds over decades to six-figure differences. Patrick walks through practical advice including never giving a number first, understanding how employers actually think about compensation costs, and reframing negotiation as a professional business discussion rather than something morally questionable. –Full transcript available here:www.complexsystemspodcast.com/how-to-negotiate-your-salary-package/–Sponsor: MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Jacob Swett of Blueprint Biosecurity to discuss far UVC technology - a specialized wavelength of UV light that kills airborne pathogens while remaining safe for humans. Jacob explains how widespread deployment of this technology in schools, hospitals, and public spaces could dramatically reduce respiratory diseases and prevent future pandemics, comparing our approach to air quality with the water sanitation revolution that eliminated diseases like typhoid. They discuss the economics of implementation (starting around $30 per student annually with costs likely decreasing), the historical reasons why this technology hasn't been widely deployed, and Blueprint Biosecurity's roadmap for increasing adoption from early users to eventual regulations similar to fire safety codes. –Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/killing-viruses-with-light-with-jacob-swett/ –Sponsor: MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

Have you ever heard a story so raw, so real, that it physically stopped you in your tracks? The kind of story that makes you put down your to-do list, take a deep breath, and remember why you started this journey in the first place? May is National Small Business Month, and while I LOVE hearing from the headline-makers and household names, today is about something even more special: real stories from real listeners of this podcast. These are the kind of women who tune in while they're juggling kids and client calls, who build their dreams during nap time or after their 9-to-5. They may not have gone viral, but what they've built? It's powerful. It's personal. And it matters. Tonbra, Maris, and Chelle didn't just build businesses… They built something beautiful from heartbreak, identity shifts, and unimaginable challenges. From cancer diagnoses to grief to reinvention, these women turned their hardest chapters into platforms that now help others. If you're walking through your own hard chapter, or even just need a reminder of what's possible on the other side of pain, this one's for you.

In a world that celebrates big milestones, loud announcements, and curated perfection, it's easy to forget that some of the most meaningful wins don't make it to the feed. They happen behind closed doors. They don't come with applause. They aren't always photogenic… but they are real. And they are enough. Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I'm pulling back the curtain on how my definition of success has changed over the years… How I'm still digging my biggest goals, but now it's in a way that aligns more with how I want to feel, not just how it all looks. Whether you're in a season of quiet growth, private healing, or just choosing to build a life that prioritizes peace over performance, I hope this episode feels like a soft place to land.

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (@patio11) is joined by Mikey Dickerson to discuss the complex realities behind government software projects. Mikey shares insights from leading the healthcare.gov rescue effort and founding the United States Digital Service, explaining how procurement processes create requirements through committee decision-making without market-based feedback loops. They explore how government systems handle software development differently than industry, with Mikey noting that the issues are less about individual competence and more about systemic incentives that reward risk aversion. The conversation covers the challenges of "modernization" efforts, the loss of organizational management knowledge over decades, and reflection on when and how technologists might effectively contribute to public service. –Full transcript available here: –Sponsor: MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

For most of us, creating content is the part that feels natural, but promotion feels more vulnerable. So we do what we've always done… we make something new. We stay busy. We stay in motion. But what if the real power isn't in making more, but in letting what you've already made breathe a little longer? What if the magic isn't in more content, but in more intention behind how it's shared? Visit http://www.teachmetopin.com to learn about the platform I've been teaching about for over eight years, one I've helped over 25,000 people use in their business to create content systems that actually last! In this episode, I'm walking you through a simple mindset shift that changed everything for me.

We'll explore what it looks like to shift from short-term content bursts to long-term, strategic sharing. I'm talking about ways to make your creations live longer, reach further, and work harder without requiring more from you every single day.

On this episode of The Table with Anthony O'Neal, we're breaking down the real stats behind the Black economy today. While Black Americans are making financial strides and experiencing the best economic conditions in generations, the numbers tell a more complex story. Some data looks promising on the surface, but deeper analysis reveals the challenges we still face. If we don't take action, projections show that Black wealth could drop to zero by 2053. But together, we can change this narrative, build generational wealth, and create a thriving financial future.

In this episode, CJ interviews Ross Grainger, the CFO of Paradox, to discuss work-life integration (instead of balance), why the corporate ladder is less like a ladder and more like a jungle gym, and the hallmarks of a great CFO/FP&A/controller relationship. He starts by sharing his own unconventional career journey and talks about the importance of the hustle, giving examples from his own life of periods when things were weighted towards life or work and how this benefited him. He also describes why the career ladder is more like a jungle gym and gives examples of times when he had to step backwards or sideways to get ahead. He sheds light on the value of investing in work relationships outside of finance, such as product marketing and sales, before discussing the hallmarks of a good CFO/controller/FP&A relationship. With a team in Vietnam, he gives advice on how to expand internationally. The episode includes an explanation of why Ross doesn't believe in annual planning, what he does instead, and how he justifies this to the board.

In this episode, CJ has an exceptionally candid conversation with Will Cureton, the CFO of Nitrogen Wealth. Will sheds light on what Nitrogen Wealth does and how it incorporates a tolerance functionality built on the prospect theory into its software platform to better serve wealth management firms. After taking on some private equity backing in 2021, Nitrogen Wealth made a big price increase mistake. Will talks about how the company went about revisiting its growth assumptions. He explains how they assessed the company's TAM, exited unsustainable business lines, and unbundled some of their products in order to maintain or regain their customers. Will then does a deep dive on mitigating churn, covering which metrics Nitrogen tracks to predict churn, how they formulate a churn score, and other steps they take to support customer retention.
