Rebekah Brown Olson didn't plan to lead a state CPA society. A single leadership assessment during a firm training session reframed how she saw her own strengths, and thirteen years later she's the CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs, connecting firm leaders across the profession every day. In this conversation, Brannon Poe talks with Rebekah about what's really driving change in accounting right now, and why she believes community, not information, is what separates firms that thrive from firms that struggle.Rebekah shares an encouraging read on the student pipeline, pointing to strong turnout and impressive second-career candidates at a recent University of Maryland accounting graduation event. She also walks through her theory on where private equity is headed: a barbell shaped profession, with large firms formed through consolidation on one end and a new wave of small, independent firms on the other, as CPAs who leave newly acquired environments choose to build something of their own.For firm owners thinking about their own exit, Rebekah's advice centers on two habits: treating strategy as something to revisit constantly rather than a plan that sits on a shelf, and involving the people around you early, since real alignment comes from letting your team weigh in on where the firm is headed.The Conversation Covers:How a leadership assessment redirected Rebekah's entire career pathWhy community may be the biggest differentiator for CPA firms over the next decadeHow private equity could reshape the profession into a barbell-shaped structureWhy small firms are positioned to specialize and move faster than larger competitorsHow involving your team early creates real strategic alignment ahead of a transitionWhy choosing the right private equity partner matters more than the deal itselfRebekah closes with a story from her college years at Ohio State, working as a football field manager during a live scrimmage, that ties back to the same theme running through the whole conversation: what it looks like when a community shows up for someone.This Episode Is For:Firm owners curious about how community and connection shape long-term successLeaders ready to think through a 5 to 10 year exit and succession planPractitioners wondering how private equity might change hiring, retention, and cultureAnyone interested in how small firms can compete through specialization and speedBook Recommendation:The Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is Good for You, and How to Get Good at It by Dr. Kelly McGonigal Amazon linkTimestamps:00:00 - Brannon Poe intro and podcast welcome 00:14 - Introducing Rebekah Brown Olson, CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs 00:57 - How a quarter-life crisis and a leadership assessment changed Rebekah's career path 01:41 - From CPA firm senior to curriculum developer at the Maryland Association of CPAs 03:12 - Working part time, then full time, then becoming CEO three years ago 04:02 - What Brannon and Rebekah share: burning out of public practice and finding a better fit 04:45 - What Rebekah gets to do now: advocate for the profession and connect people across it 05:06 - The big picture view: what the Maryland Association of CPAs CEO is seeing right now 05:31 - Why getting good at change is the most important capability for any accounting firm 06:00 - Why community is the competitive advantage when complexity and change accelerate 06:34 - Why you can't know everything but you can know a lot of people 07:19 - Recruiting new students: are the numbers moving and what kind of students are coming in 08:15 - Why the pipeline alarm is starting to work and what recent graduation events are showing 08:40 - Accounting as a stable major during economic uncertainty 09:07 - What the new wave of accounting students looks like: different backgrounds, strong leaders 09:30 - Retention: are people staying in the profession better than they used to?

You think breaching is just kicking in a door. Shane Foster is here to tell you how wrong that is, and why that assumption is costing agencies millions of dollars, officers their careers, and in some cases, lives. Shane is the founder of Guild Solutions Group, director of training development for Pryme Infill, and one of the most quietly credentialed practitioners in the law enforcement and military training space. Over fourteen years in law enforcement across three agencies, a National Guard FAST team, deployments to Yemen and Afghanistan, time in Fortune 500 corporate leadership, and now building one of the most progressive breaching programs in the country, Shane does not fit neatly into a box. That is exactly the point.This conversation goes deep into the broken culture inside law enforcement training, the dangerous gap between experience and competence, and why ego is not just a soft problem but a hard operational one. Shane breaks down the real categories of breaching, from manual and ballistic to exothermic, hydraulic, bypass, and energetic, and explains why most agencies are leaving officers dangerously under-prepared because of liability avoidance, administrative checkbox training, and a stubborn refusal to evolve curriculum.You will also hear a frank conversation about the physical, neurological, and legal costs of doing this work incorrectly. Shane pulls no punches on TBI exposure, biomechanical failure patterns in ram technique, the litigation crisis hitting agencies nationwide, and why the solution to all of it is not more of the same. It is holistic, leveled, continually updated training paired with the documentation technology to back it up in court.If you are in law enforcement, military, or any preparedness-minded community, this episode will challenge how you think about training quality, institutional culture, and what it actually means to be ready when the door comes down. Stick with it all the way through. The back half on Pryme Infill alone is worth the full runtime.In this episode:• Ego as an operational failure point: Shane explains that culture problems in law enforcement training are rooted in ego, specifically the institutional unwillingness to admit wrong techniques, outdated case law applications, or poor curriculum, because the personal cost of admitting error feels higher than the cost of staying wrong.• Concepts over absolutes in breaching instruction: the Guild teaches that every technique has contextual conditions that determine its application, so training must build decision-making capacity rather than rote replication of a single method.• The six categories of breaching broken down: manual, ballistic, exothermic, hydraulic, bypass, and energetic access each serve distinct tactical purposes, and most patrol officers graduate from academies knowing only a ram and a halogen, which Shane calls subpar even for a one-zero-one level.• Biomechanical failure in ram technique: pendulum and FBI swings are still being taught generation to generation despite causing broken fingers, rotator cuff injuries, and over-penetration that blades the officer away from a threat inside the structure.• TBI mitigation is no longer just suck it up: cumulative blast pressure exposure during training, not operations, is the primary issue. Shane references computational fluid dynamics, AI cross-referenced brain wave tracking via Nurable headsets, daily PSI limits, and creatine and vitamin D3 protocols as part of a modern mitigation stack.• The legal dimension must be taught in real time during every course: case laws governing breaching are rarely actually discussed even when listed on course objectives, and that gap is contributing to a $3 billion-plus payout crisis in law enforcement civil litigation over the past ten years.• Pryme Infill closes the documentation gap: the platform combines a sanctioned encrypted communication app, geospatial Blue Force Tracker-style awareness, override-capable notifications, mission planning, and a PDF-builder that generates comprehensive legal-grade training records, all designed specifically to protect officers in depositions and civil discovery.• Midsize agencies are the sweet spot for developing well-rounded officers: small agencies give full-spectrum experience but limited specialization, large agencies define roles narrowly and officers can get lost, while the 200 to 400 officer range provides both operational breadth and enough structure to develop real expertise.Chapters:0:00 Iron Sights intro and show philosophy1:03 Guest intro: who is Shane Foster1:42 Shane's background and the starfish career17:55 Agency size, experience, and the midsize sweet spot22:37 When officers realize training is failing them30:16 What good instruction actually looks like32:05 Law enforcement culture, ego, and the cost of not changing50:27 Building Guild Solutions Group from the ground up59:39 The six categories of breaching explained1:28:03 Physical fitness, TBI, and the real cost of this work1:40:34 How Pryme Infill was born and what it actually does2:03:16 Where to find Guild Solutions and Pryme InfillMentioned:Chris Kuras — Mutual friend who referred Shane Foster to the host and is associated with BRB and Good Dude Concepts.Pete Blaber — Author of The Mission, the Men, and Me, cited by Shane as one of his favorite books and as an example of common sense leadership.Ben Stoeger — Shane mentions encountering him briefly at SHOT Show and cites him as an example of a non-law enforcement, non-military practitioner who became a world-class shooter sought after by elite units.Matt Pranka — Shane credits him with the idea that instructors cannot make people process faster but can eliminate physical barriers so the student can focus on the problem.Pete Coletta — Shane's business partner in Guild Applied Solutions, the R and D arm of the Guild.Jared — Co-founder of Pryme Infill who built the platform after a high-scrutiny deposition following the 2020 Floyd riots, determined never to be caught undocumented again.

Diagnosing the problem comes first – interviews, observations, and listening reveal what's actually happening inside the culture. Fixing culture saves real money – reducing turnover, improving engagement, and aligning goals can deliver huge financial returns. One action small business owners can take: According to Sarah Williams, one action small business owners can take is to communicate more clearly and more often, making sure every team member understands the direction of the business, what's expected of them, and how their role contributes to the bigger goals.

Erika Steinberg is the founder of CMO2Go, which provides fractional and interim marketing leadership to midsize law firms across the United States. She launched the company more than six years ago with the belief that expert marketing is not just for the largest law firms. Before founding CMO2Go, Erika held senior marketing leadership roles at Sidley Austin, Kaye Scholer, and Arent Fox. With more than 30 years in legal marketing and business development, she speaks fluent lawyer, understands how law firms operate, and knows how to work effectively inside of them. She helps midsize firms create roadmaps for marketing success, execute on those plans, and maintain momentum by bridging marketing gaps in their teams. WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT MARKETING FOR MIDSIZE LAW FIRMS Midsize law firms bring real advantages to the table when it comes to marketing. With leaner teams and closer collaboration across practices, they often have the ability to move faster and make decisions without the layers of bureaucracy that slow down larger competitors. Those advantages can disappear without a clear plan. Firms risk siloed initiatives, "random acts of marketing," or goals that lack accountability. It's easy to take on too much or lose steam when busy lawyers don't have the time or support to keep things moving forward. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge podcast, Elise Holtzman talks with Erika Steinberg about how midsize firms can build smart, sustainable marketing functions. They explore the difference between tactics and strategy, what it takes to maintain momentum with small teams, and how to create a roadmap that supports both immediate priorities and long-term growth. 2:26 — What it means to “speak fluent lawyer” and why it matters 5:47 — Common misconceptions about creating a marketing plan 7:26 — Mistakes midsize firms make when designing and executing plans 11:24 — How to maintain momentum so projects don't fizzle out 13:21 — Bridge the Gap: interim marketing leadership in action 17:11 — Navigating challenges when stepping into a firm as interim leader 22:19 — What midsize firms are getting right in their marketing 24:40 — Why tracking business sources matters and where to focus resources 29:17 — The power of collaboration and breaking down silos 32:02 — Why strategy must come before tactics MENTIONED IN BUILDING SMART, SUSTAINABLE MARKETING FOR MIDSIZE LAW FIRMS CMO2Go Connect with Erika on LinkedIn Get connected with the coaching team: hello@thelawyersedge.com The Lawyer's Edge SPONSOR FOR THIS EPISODE Today's episode is brought to you by the Ignite Women's Business Development Accelerator, a 9-month business development program created BY women lawyers for women lawyers.

Nicholas (Nick) Lalla is the Founder and Managing Principal of Urban Reinvention Strategies, a consultancy that partners with cities to develop strategies and initiatives fostering inclusive growth through innovation and emerging technologies. He is nationally recognized for spearheading transformative urban initiatives, including founding Tulsa Innovation Labs, which invested over $200 million to establish northeast Oklahoma's tech economy. Previously, Nick led Cyber NYC, a major cybersecurity initiative by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, and launched a national resilience program at the Urban Land Institute to help cities address climate change. He is also the author of Reinventing the Heartland, which offers a pragmatic blueprint for cities that aim to build inclusive, tech-driven economies. In this episode… What does it take to transform a midsize city into a thriving hub for innovation and opportunity? Beyond capital and ambition, ensuring that progress is inclusive, measurable, and deeply rooted in a city's unique strengths requires intentional strategy and thoughtful execution. As communities across the heartland aim to reinvent themselves, what frameworks and mindset shifts are necessary to lead the way? According to Nick Lalla, a civic entrepreneur and urban strategist, the key is building a tailored, data-driven innovation economy anchored in local assets. He highlights that success depends on identifying a city's niche and making bold, focused investments — rather than diluting resources across disconnected initiatives. This strategy has not only mobilized over $200 million in Tulsa but also projected the creation of up to 70,000 new tech jobs. Nick emphasizes that sustained impact demands transparency, measurable goals, and a deep cultural shift toward accountability among civic leaders and funders. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, host Mat Zalk is joined by Nick Lalla, Founder and Managing Principal of Urban Reinvention Strategies, to talk about creating jobs, attracting capital, and reshaping midsize cities. They discuss Tulsa's innovation playbook, the importance of civic mindset shifts, and strategies for building inclusive economic ecosystems. Nick also shares how local institutions and public-private partnerships can drive long-term prosperity.

Nissan's small pickup might be one of the brand's most interesting machines that doesn't carry the GT-R badge. Once dubbed Hardbody, the small Nissan pickup has duked it out with giants in the small-to-midsize truck world for almost half a century. The latest iteration joined the Frontier's history books in 2022 as the D41-generation pickup. This truck replaced the long-running-if-not-old D22-generation rig, which ran from 2007 to 2021. This new truck significantly updated the Frontier, but it kept the 3.8-liter V6 mill that joined the truck in 2020. This 3.8-liter V6 is good for 310 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque. That power travels through a nine-speed automatic before hitting the rear axle, or the four-wheel-drive system. For '25, Nissan updated the interior with a larger infotainment screen, increased towing capacity, and slightly revised styling. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Nissan Frontier and puts it through its paces. Murphy takes you on a guided tour of the Frontier and highlights some of his favorite features and changes. Later, Murphy takes you along for a live drive review. Joining these segments, Murphy chats with host Wesley Wren about the 2025 Nissan Frontier, the competition, and the world of midsize trucks. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 Nissan Frontier special.
