Scaling In The Age of Digital Disruption with Mike Peterson Are your teams helping you scale—or silently sabotaging your margins? In today's episode, we dig into the critical intersection of people, process, and technology with Mike Peterson, author of Leading in the Age of Digital Disruption and founder of Apex Consulting Partners. Mike brings a rare combination of HR and IT expertise to the table—two departments that can either clash or collaborate to drive exponential growth when led strategically. Mike's story is one of corporate reinvention. After a health scare, he left the executive grind to help leaders build high-performing teams that don't just work—but work profitably. If you're stuck with cultural friction, technology that no one uses, or leadership that lacks alignment, this episode is for you. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why most businesses underutilize their IT teams and how to align tech with the bottom line. How to turn human capital into a strategic multiplier, not an overhead line item. How digital transformation fails when change management and culture are ignored. Mike's framework for identifying misalignment between people, process, and profit goals. The simple but powerful question leaders should ask to unlock performance (and it's not about KPIs). Key Takeaways: HR and IT must stop operating in silos. When united, they become the backbone of scalable, high-margin operations. Technology is not a cost center—unless you make it one. ROI from systems comes when people understand the "why" behind the tools. High-performing teams aren't built by perks. They're built by clarity, alignment, and accountability—especially in hybrid or remote environments. If your team isn't supporting your vision, it's draining your cash flow. Mike explains how to recalibrate roles and culture to support strategic goals. Profitability comes from process discipline and people performance. Get both wrong, and growth turns toxic. Guest Bio: Mike Peterson is the founder and managing partner of Apex Consulting Partners LLC and the author of Leading in the Age of Digital Disruption. With nearly two decades of global experience in HR and IT leadership at companies like BioMarin and Structure Therapeutics, Mike now helps companies strategically integrate people and technology to build high-performing, scalable operations. He's a certified HR professional through SHRM and the HRCI. Conclusion The true cost of poor team performance isn't just friction—it's profit erosion. Mike Peterson reminds us that the businesses that scale profitably aren't the ones with the flashiest tools or the busiest calendars. They're the ones with high alignment, disciplined execution, and a culture that's built to last. If your team feels like a tax on your time and wallet, it's time to recalibrate. Let's make your people your greatest profit center.

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, host Mike Peterson sat down with @Luke_Broyles to discuss Luke's background and insights into how Bitcoin is transforming economies like El Salvador's. This exciting episode explores how Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele is aligning incentives and improving lives through new monetary policy and digital currency. Bitcoin reorients worldviews and value hierarchies. Bitcoin works because no one person controls it – it requires humility to admit that if any one of us had the power to manipulate Bitcoin, it would fail. This contrasts with the fiat system where centralized control leads to constant inflation. The conversation also covers the rapid rate of Bitcoin adoption. Bitcoin is moving faster than the early internet. Luke suggests we could see 50% adoption globally in just a few years, rapidly changing cryptocurrency trends. As he says, "Most people will learn through pain" as fiat currencies fail. Also highlighted is Luke's new film, The Case for Bitcoin, that aims to educate newcomers on bitcoin economics by meeting them where they are and explaining the technology in simple terms. With support from Bitcoin leaders like Robert Breedlove, the film could onboard thousands of new users. This engaging episode is packed with perspectives on how Bitcoin economics can raise countries like El Salvador out of poverty.

Let's do it ourselves" - GerardoNow, there are many Bitcoiners in Berlin. The circular economy community is growing quickly.@Evelynlemus2906@GR_Linares1@BitcoinBerlinSVLive From Bitcoin Beach
When you buy an bank, don't tell them that you plan to use the safety deposit boxes as a multi-sig storage facility. That's the lesson Mike Smith, a contractor from Michigan, learned the first time he attempted to buy a bank. The seller scrapped the deal upon hearing his Bitcoin themed plans. That did not stop Mike Smith. He went on to buy another bank and, as per his plans, opened Bitcoin 101, a brick and mortar location that helps bitcoiners hold their multi-sig keys and it also doubles as a bitcoin education center. Mike Smith tells Mike Peterson about his next venture called Lake Satoshi. It's a yearly event that can handle 500 participants. The location is an old quarry converted into a pristine holiday lake that features camping, boating, fishing and a gorgeous forest backed beach-front. A modern-day Bitcoin-Woodstock style event takes place there every year in August.Today, Mike Smith is in El Salvador with big plans. He's building 275 units."Oh my God, this is like Miami 120 years ago ...this is where you wanna be, where the wind is at your back ... this is where capital is treated the best." - Mike Smith Lake Satoshi / lakesatoshi.com"As long as it's tick-tock next block I'm in!" - Mike SmithLive From Bitcoin Beach

The rain storms would frequently leave the occupants without power, sometimes for days. Enter : Trash Collection Sunday's for the kids"For every trash bag they return full, we give them the equivalent of one dollar to their bolt cards that they in turn go to spend in the shops that have the POS that accept the payment with the bolt card. We inject bitcoin, we clean the island and at the same time we promote the circular economy with the POS in the shops of La Pirraya." - QuentinThe kids were given Bolt Cards from Fernando Motolese of Brazil's Praia Bitcoin.
