How do you take a 100-plus-year-old automotive company with 158 manufacturing sites, operations in 28 countries, more than 60,000 employees, and over 30 brands and transform it into a top-performing company?That's the question at the heart of Tenneco's remarkable turnaround story.In less than three years, under the leadership of CEO Jim Voss and his team, Tenneco doubled its EBITDA margins, becoming a leader within its peer group. But before the performance came the hard part: confronting a deeply entrenched command-and-control culture and reimagining how leadership works inside a legacy automotive company.In Part 1 of this two-part series, Jim shares his unconventional path to the automotive industry, his private equity background with Apollo, what he discovered when he arrived at Tenneco in 2022, and why culture became the foundation of the company's transformation.This is a conversation about leadership, trust, organizational velocity, and the courage required to challenge decades of legacy thinking.Themes Discussed in this EpisodeWhy Tenneco's turnaround began with culture.What Jim found when he walked into Tenneco in 2022Breaking away from command-and-control leadershipWhy organizational velocity is now a competitive advantageThe challenge of transforming legacy automotive organizationsHow leaders create cultures that drive executionHigh care and high accountability as a leadership modelWhy manufacturing plants should sit at the top of the organizational pyramid

Most marketing fails before a single ad is made. Not because the execution is bad, but because teams leap straight to tactics and skip the strategy underneath. Ben Norman calls the result "busy fools": lots of activity, very little impact.Ben, Strategy Director at Principles Agency and host of Marketing Room 101, joins Chris and Will to break down what brand strategy actually is, why so many senior marketers get it wrong, and how to do it properly without drowning in 20-page decks and brand "salad bowls".What you'll learn:The simplest definition of strategy you'll hear, using Ben's "person and product" modelWhy diagnosis comes before strategy, and strategy before tactics (borrowed from the ancient Greeks)The Three Cs framework: customer, company, competition, and why every problem comes back to themThe "bow tie" method for distilling a mountain of insight down to a single wordWhy you should think in alternatives, not competitors (a Snickers competes with doing nothing, not just a KitKat)The McCafé anti-poncery campaign and what makes it a masterclass in positioningWhy "channel neutrality" matters, and why SEO, GEO and AEO are all just "search"How strategic thinking applies to everything from cleaning your house to running the countryPlus Ben serves up his now-famous Menu of Mistakes, including the £70k pitch that got away, the food shoot where he forgot to book the art director and styled it out by pretending he was one, and the Wally the Whale mascot meltdown at Wetherby Racecourse that ruined childhoods and lost punters their bets.The conversation closes with the three things Ben would banish from marketing right now: tiny microphones, people misusing the word "omnichannel", and the damage social media is doing to society.Chapters:0:00 Intro 1:15 Building a podcast with Room 101 4:35 Mini MBA and marketing basics 7:40 What strategy really means 12:35 The Three Cs and the bow tie 17:55 Listening first and field research 21:00 Knowing when insight is enough 24:55 McCafé and anti-poncery positioning 29:10 Strategy thinking in daily life 34:45 False binaries and channel neutrality 39:35 What communications means in practice 42:25 The menu of marketing mistakes 46:30 Wally the Whale mascot meltdown 51:05 The missing art director food shoot 54:40 Three things to banish now 57:35 Social media harm and regulationConnect with Ben Norman on LinkedInSend us Fan Mail Is your strategy still right in 2026?

“When your business model is really optimized, the money's good. You have the kind of lifestyle you want. You have the kind of income you want. You're working towards your legacy and it meets your why.”–Carolyn HerfurthIs a fuzzy business model slowing you down? Carolyn Herfurth is a strategist and business model geek, and we're diving into something a lot of us don't have clear when we start our business or experience growth. In the simplest language, the business model is all the offers, products and services that you make in order to make money. But you can have low, medium, or high touch offers. It's not one size fits all—but finding the right fit for you at every stage of your business makes such a difference.We talk about: Variety in filling your funnelHaving the confidence to charge the right rates and changing rates to allow for the support you need to fill a programGetting clear on what we are offering and why and what the price isDecluttering your business modelWhy a thought partner is so importantQuarterly check ins on the five pillars of your business. ABOUT CAROLYNCarolyn Herfurth is the strategist expertise-driven founders hire when they've built something that works and are ready for what's next. With 23+ years in business design, she uncovers the unmined gold in their experience, assets, and ideas, so they can create their next big thing.LINKSCarolyn in Pause Magazinehttps://cherfurth.substack.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolynherfurth/ https://instagram.com/carolynherfurthDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:TRY THE SIMPLIFIER. Try Carolyn's Simplifier to help you develop your business plan. Ask yourself: What's the thing you're selling? What's the problem it's solving? What's the promise you're making? And what is the purpose of that thing? Why does it exist? And then what's the price?DECLUTTER YOUR BUSINESS MODEL. What are you still offering that no longer works for you? It might be something you no longer doing or an opt-in that leads nowhere. Even if people love it, if it doesn't work for you and the rest of your business, you can move it out.DO A QUARTERLY CHECK IN. Check in on each of the five pillars: What is your relationship with your business now? Is your business model clear? How are you regarded as a thought leader?

In this episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, Jon LaClare sits down with Andy Auble, entrepreneur behind Gluetread and Proof Razor, to explore how American manufacturing, fast product development, and customer trust can create a powerful competitive advantage.Andy shares the story behind Gluetread, a unique off-road tire sidewall repair product that was born from a real problem and eventually grew into a patented solution trusted by off-roaders, agricultural users, and even organizations like the U.S. Border Patrol. He explains how early skepticism was overcome through product demos, customer reviews, word-of-mouth, and a bold Rubicon Trail “torture test” that proved the product could perform under extreme conditions.The conversation also dives into Proof Razor, Andy's premium Made-in-USA razor brand built around long-term quality, honest pricing, universal blades, and freedom from subscription lock-in. Unlike Gluetread, which created a new product category, Proof Razor competes in a crowded market—making its positioning, materials, customer experience, and manufacturing story even more important.Andy also shares practical advice for founders, including why entrepreneurs should fail fast, test minimum viable products, get feedback from people outside their personal circle, and avoid getting stuck chasing perfection before launch.In today's episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover:Why moving quickly can be a major advantage for American-made product brandsHow domestic manufacturing can improve speed, quality control, cash flow, and relationshipsThe story behind Gluetread and how it solved a real off-road tire repair problemHow customer reviews, real-world demos, and torture tests build credibilityWhy premium products need strong proof, trust, and clear positioningHow Proof Razor challenges the traditional razor-and-blades business modelWhy founders should test minimum viable products before scaling too quicklyThe importance of failing fast, setting goals, and learning from real customersIf you're building a product business, launching a new idea, or trying to stand out in a crowded market, this episode offers practical lessons on product validation, manufacturing, brand trust, and long-term growth.Want to connect with Andy or learn more about his products?Visit Gluetread.com or ProofRazor.com.Do you have a brand you'd like to launch or scale?Visit HarvestGrowth.com to book a free consultation and learn how our team has helped generate over $2 billion in product sales.

In this solo episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric breaks down a hard truth most builders and business owners try to avoid:Your business is a mirror — and it never lies.If your home building business (and life) feel stuck, it's not “just the market.” It's a reflection of how you show up in the world: your commitments, your money habits, your leadership, how you learn, how you communicate, and how you grow.Rodric walks through 6 categories — and roughly 30 mirror moments — that quietly shape your results:

In this deeply personal episode, Mel shares an honest update on a new chapter he's building: one that sits at the intersection of psychology, nervous system regulation, golf, performance under pressure, and the future of clinical work in the age of AI.This is not a polished “success story.” It's a real-time reflection on what AI is changing in mental health, why traditional private practice models no longer fit for some clinicians, and how to build work that feels deeply aligned with your life instead of consuming it.In this episode, Mel shares:The childhood basketball story that shaped his understanding of pressure and performanceWhy the same person can succeed under pressure one year and crumble the nextHow AI is transforming therapy, healthcare, and human workWhy the future belongs to the irreplaceable parts of human connectionThe difference between burnout from the work vs. burnout from the modelWhy he chose not to return to traditional private practiceThe vision behind a new golf-focused performance psychology retreatHow golf became a “laboratory” for understanding nervous system regulation under stressWhy experiences and human presence may become the most valuable forms of care in the AI eraThe concept of building the one model only you could buildQuestions to reflect on:What population have you spent the most time with, and what do they truly need that nobody is delivering?What life experiences or non-clinical skills could become part of the intervention itself?What would you build if you weren't trying to make it look like what a therapist is “supposed” to offer?--RESOURCES Building and managing the practice you truly want can feel overwhelming.

The “Perfect Body” Isn't What Instagram Sold You What does the “perfect body” actually look like?In Part 2 of Coach Alex's conversation on The Samir Show, the discussion moves beyond six-packs, big biceps, and Instagram fitness into something much more useful: building a body that can serve the mission.Coach Alex explains why excessive muscle can become a liability for operators, why the best body is not necessarily the one that attracts attention, and why true fitness is about capability, endurance, resilience, and recovery.This conversation also goes deep into metabolic health, protein intake, fatigue, sleep, dad bod, belly fat, cardiovascular fitness, diabetes risk, and why so many people feel exhausted in their 30s and 40s.The big idea: your body is not just about appearance. It is an asset. It carries your mind, your mission, your work, your family, and your calling.In this episode, Coach Alex and Samir discuss:Why the “perfect agent body” does not look like an Instagram fitness modelWhy endurance and cognitive integrity matter for real-world performanceHow your body and brain are deeply integratedWhy constant fatigue may be connected to poor metabolic healthThe role of protein in muscle, energy, aging, and blood sugar regulationWhy muscle loss accelerates with age — and how weight training helps slow it downHow sleep timing, deep sleep, naps, and circadian rhythm affect energyWhy belly fat is often connected to stress, poor fitness, and energy imbalanceThe difference between fasting, time-restricted eating, and ketosisWhy cardio is not mainly about burning caloriesHow walking, weight training, and sleep can help prevent diabetes and heart diseaseIf you are tired of treating your body like a vanity project — or ignoring it altogether — this episode will help you think differently.Your body is not an idol to worship.It is not a problem to ignore.It is a stewardship.Get the Faithful Fitness 40-Day Devotional here:FaithfulFitnessDevo.comAnd check out more conversations from The Samir Show.00:00 The perfect agent body01:36 Why the CIA body would not look like Instagram fitness02:21 Hypertrophy is only one fitness adaptation03:48 The capable body: strong, fast, endurable, and mission-ready05:09 Training bodies for the job, not choosing bodies for the job06:54 Treating the body like a national security asset07:32 Why poor health affects national security08:43 Endurance and cognitive integrity09:35 Energy, fatigue, and burnout10:08 Mitochondrial dysfunction and fat-burning capacity12:01 Carbs as short-term fuel, fats as long-term fuel13:56 Why protein matters15:13 How much protein the average person may need16:20 Why minimum protein recommendations may not be optimal18:14 Plant proteins, supplements, and vegetarian considerations19:39 Why muscle mass declines with age21:09 Weight training and preserving muscle tissue22:02 Why you may wake up more tired than when you went to bed23:11 Deep sleep, sleep inertia, and inconsistent rest25:43 Why naps help some people and ruin sleep for others27:28 Busy tired vs. metabolic or hormonal problems28:41 Why medication without lifestyle change misses the root30:34 Protein, prediabetes, and blood sugar regulation32:23 Protein intake and body composition33:41 Dad bod, belly fat, and fatherhood37:05 Hormonal changes after having a baby38:42 Keto, fasting, cardio, and stubborn belly fat39:29 Fasting vs. time-restricted eating40:34 Ketosis does not always mean body-fat loss41:50 Why cardio is not mainly for burning calories42:44 Nutrient density vs. energy density45:12 Running outside vs. treadmill48:19 Early warning signs for diabetes and metabolic disease49:00 VO2 and cardiovascular fitness as missed warning signs53:06 Basic tests for diabetes and heart disease risk55:20 Why food journaling is the first intelligence report59:35 Lifestyle changes with the biggest payoff01:00:10 Start small: 15 minutes a day01:01:46 Walking, adaptation, and energy01:02:40 Sleep, stress, and disease risk01:04:30 Creatine, sleep deprivation, and recovery support If this conversation challenged the way you think about your body, start with the Faithful Fitness 40-Day Devotional.It was written to help Christians stop treating the body as either an idol to worship or a problem to ignore — and begin seeing it as a gift to steward under Christ.Get Faithful Fitness here:FaithfulFitnessDevo.comThis conversation originally took place on The Samir Show.Check out Samir's work and follow his show for more thoughtful conversations on health, mindset, and human performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lST4zzD4Hcs&t=387sBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.

In this episode of Cam Girl Diaries, Erica shares how she built a thriving cam career by leaning into her “Internet's Favorite MILF” brand and understanding what loyal cam fans actually want.Before becoming a cam model, Erica spent four years working as a phone sex operator, which helped her learn how attention, conversation, and personality drive spending in the adult industry. She explains how those skills translated into webcamming, Fanvue, and live cam platforms like CamSoda and Cam4.The discussion explores why themes like “good boy,” “mommy,” and femdom-style dynamics are popular with many viewers, and how cam models can build stronger connections with their audience by creating a welcoming, interactive environment.Erica also talks about going from bartending during the pandemic to creating adult content full-time, why she chose to remain an independent creator instead of signing with an agency, and how understanding fan psychology can help cam girls grow faster.Beyond the surface, the episode dives into the business side of camming. Erica explains why many viewers are looking for conversation, attention, and connection, and how successful cam models often act as entertainers, confidants, and entrepreneurs all at once.

In B2B organisations, "one brand voice" often sounds straightforward. In practice, it is far more complex - especially in firms where reputation is carried by people, expertise and relationships.This week, Benedict speaks to Paola Garbini, Head of Marketing Europe at Oliver Wyman, about the realities of building brand coherence inside a global consulting business. As Oliver Wyman strengthens its alignment within the wider Marsh ecosystem, Paola explains how the firm is navigating the balance between consistency and independence.Rather than enforcing rigid brand rules, the discussion explores a more pragmatic idea - convergence instead of consensus. The episode looks at how organisations can create shared direction without suppressing the individuality that makes professional services valuable to clients.Along the way, Paola reflects on the role of personal brands in consulting firms, why marketing needs to move upstream in business conversations, and how teams can measure the commercial impact of brand work more effectively. This is a grounded conversation about brand as an organisational capability - not just a communications exercise.Why "one brand voice" is harder in professional servicesThe logic behind Oliver Wyman's expanded brand modelWhy independence still matters inside a larger brand ecosystemConvergence vs consensus in brand transformationBalancing consistency with individuality in consulting firmsThe role of personal brands in professional servicesMeasuring marketing impact and return on marketing investmentWhy marketing needs to be involved earlier in business strategyB2B Marketing: The Provocative Truth is a podcast by alan. agency.

Pete sits down with Graeme Acheson, founder of Sports4Cast, the data driven modelling platform recently reviewed in SBC Magazine 161.Graeme explains how a background in accountancy and risk analytics evolved into building forecasting models across rugby, football and baseball. What began as a passion project tracking rugby rankings developed into a fully automated betting model designed to identify bookmaker mispricing through probability accuracy.The discussion centres on rugby, where the model has produced a double digit ROI over the past 12 months, and why thinner, less efficient markets can offer opportunity for disciplined bettors. Graeme breaks down the distinction between prediction and probability, how his dynamic system adapts to market movement, and why timing can matter as much as selection.The conversation then moves beyond betting, exploring how the same ranking methodology has been used by football clubs such as Sunderland to help shortlist managers and guide season level decision making.Finally, Graeme outlines plans to expand into further sports, the challenges of modelling sharper markets like football, and why simple principles, applied consistently with good data, can still uncover edges in 2026.Topics covered includeFrom chartered accountant to sports modelling founderHow rugby rankings evolved into a betting modelWhy rugby markets are less efficient than footballWhy early week pricing can offer stronger edgesLiquidity trade offs and closing line efficiencyUsing A, B and C bet gradings to manage riskFully automated modelling and hourly odds updatesWorking with betting syndicates vs retail bettorsApplying ranking systems to football manager recruitmentData driven shortlisting at SunderlandSeason targeting models and decision support for clubsExpanding into football, baseball and future sportsWhy probability accuracy matters more than picking winnersSupport The PodcastYou can support the SBC Podcast by visiting our sponsor, Matchbook.

I just enjoyed making the predictions and seeing how accurate they were.”“The first question everybody would always ask was, do you use these for betting?”On rugby as a betting market“There's always something going on in rugby, and it's not priced as efficiently as football.”“The mispricings in some of the smaller rugby leagues are almost farcical.”“Three or four days out you'll see plenty of good opportunities. The trade off is limits.”On Using The Sports4Cast Service"The system is constantly updating. Every hour the recommendations can change.”“Different users will see different opportunities depending on when they log in.”On Syndicates and Scale“I speak to a couple of syndicates who take the responsibility of getting the bets down. That allows you to get some skin in the game without the admin of keeping accounts open.”“If you have the execution in place, there is definitely scale there in rugby.”On working with football clubs“If a manager consistently joins clubs and leaves them at a much higher ranking, they must be doing something right.”“You never blindly follow the data. You match the quantitative with the qualitative.”“It just gives clubs a grounding. You're not sticking your finger in the air.”

Building a Business That Honors Your Energy: Emily Fraser's Journey from Burnout to BalanceQuick SummaryEmily Fraser returns to share how she built a thriving online business that generates consistent revenue while working only 1-2 hours per week. After a traumatic brain injury ended her teaching career, Emily discovered how to create a business model that honors her energy limitations—and teaches others to do the same. This candid conversation explores the reality behind "passive income," the power of setting boundaries from day one, and why sometimes the most profitable thing you can do is rest.In This EpisodeHow Emily's car accident and brain injury led to the creation of The Spoonie MentorThe concept of "bright lines" (boundaries) and how they shaped her entire business modelBuilding an evergreen group program that runs with minimal weekly involvementWhy Emily eliminated a profitable business coaching program (and what that taught her)The truth about expansion and contraction cycles in businessHow her business continued generating revenue during IVF, pregnancy loss, and family griefRedefining consistency: what it means when you're not posting on social media for monthsThe danger of jumping from guru to guru and constantly changing your business modelWhy "desperation repels dollars" and how to build from abundance insteadKey TakeawaysDesign for your constraints first: Emily set "bright lines" before launching—no evening work, limited Zoom calls, maximum 2-4 hours daily. This wasn't negotiable, and every system was built around these boundaries.Revenue-generating activities only: Every 25-minute work session focused exclusively on activities that would generate income. Everything else got outsourced or eliminated.Maintenance is a valid season: Between expansion and contraction lies maintenance—a season where systems run, revenue flows, and you don't have to be "on." This isn't failure; it's the reward for building well.Your worth isn't your work: Emily had to actively reprogram the belief that productivity equals worthiness. Her business generates income even when she's grieving, healing, or simply living life.Test live before automating: Run your offer live multiple times, gather feedback, and ensure it works before creating evergreen systems. Automation amplifies what's already proven.Memorable Quotes"The less I do, the more I earn. I've really focused on these affirmations and implementing these beliefs of what I desire.""Every time I've had huge wins in the business, it's been followed by periods of dips because I subconsciously struggle to allow myself to receive.""Desperation repels dollars. Approaching anything in business with that mentality is going to set you up for failure."Resources MentionedEmily's Website: thespooniementor.comKelsey's Website: KelseyReidl.comKelsey's Podcast: Rain or Shine (350+ episodes featuring Canadian entrepreneurs)Instagram/Social: @KelseyReidlSpoon Theory (energy management framework)Internal Family Systems (IFS) by Dr. Richard SchwartzTime-based pacing strategiesCustom mobile app for community buildingThe Thriving Spoonie Pathway (signature program)About Emily FraserEmily Fraser is the founder of The Spoonie Mentor, where she helps people with chronic health conditions build businesses and lives that honor their energy.

How to Lead Like a Maestro: Dr. Michael Brenner's Framework for Team HarmonyIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge talks with Dr. Michael Brenner, Founder and CEO of Right Chord Leadership. Dr. Brenner blends his lifelong passion for music with leadership consulting, offering a unique approach that uses musical principles to help leaders and teams perform in harmony. This conversation uncovers the power of rhythm, communication, and collaboration in leadership—and how leaders can apply the CHORDS framework to foster stronger, more effective teams.Merging Music with Leadership MasteryDr. Brenner's dual identity as a professional musician and leadership consultant sets the tone for a refreshingly creative conversation. He discusses how decades of experience playing woodwinds—saxophone, flute, and tin whistle—has shaped his understanding of teamwork and adaptability. Just as a band relies on listening and responding to each other in real time, leaders must foster an environment where communication and respect are non-negotiables.At the heart of Right Chord Leadership is the proprietary CHORDS model: Communication, Harmony, Ownership, Respect, Direction, and Support.

He emphasizes that high-performing organizations aren't built on rigid hierarchies, but rather on the fluid, collaborative interplay of roles—much like an ensemble working in sync.Josh and Dr. Brenner explore the pitfalls of overcomplication in leadership. While many organizations invest in tools and strategies, they often overlook the human factors that drive engagement. Through this lens, Dr. Brenner advises leaders to prioritize clear communication, empower team members with ownership, and create a bold but realistic vision. By doing so, leaders can transform a disjointed group into a synchronized, high-impact team.About Dr. Michael BrennerDr. Michael Brenner is the Founder and CEO of Right Chord Leadership, where he helps leaders and teams "find their groove, get in sync, and work in harmony."

Entrepreneurs can either start a new operation, convert an existing business, or acquire a company, all while receiving centralized support in operations, marketing, customer service, and technology. It's a win-win: customers enjoy trusted expertise, and franchisees get to grow under a brand backed by national reach.About Hagan KapplerHagan Kappler is the founder and CEO of Daisy, the first national brand in smart space installation and services. Previously, she served as CEO of Threshold Brands, leading nine service businesses across 550+ locations.

Whether it's disguised as points or eating windows, the ‘calories in vs calories out' model forms the basis of most modern weight loss programs and diets.Most people these days are familiar with calorie tracking apps, calorie calculators and energy tracking devices. Some people even obsess over them in an arguably unhealthy fashion.Should we really be focusing all of our efforts on weighing foods, checking calorie content and restricting ourselves to certain calorie intakes? In this podcast episode, Dr Rentea presents us with an alternative view to the diet industry's ongoing obsession with calorie counting. She encourages us to look for the answers internally, instead of fixating our attention on external factors. In this episode, you will learn:The history of calorie countingThe key flaws of the ‘calories in vs calories out' modelWhy we should be listening to our bodies moreQuotes05:55 - “We see people perfectly following the calorie numbers and they're not losing the expected amount of weight.”08:41 - “It's a constant stress response because they're used to using something outside of themselves instead of listening to themselves.”13:27 - “It creates a lot of obsession and disordered eating, and it's just not a way to live long term.”14:00 - “If we're not able to consistently keep doing things or coming back to them, it is not the way forward long term.”Audio Stamps2:28 - Dr Rentea talks us through the history of where the calorie model come from4:20 - How to know if someone is subscribing to a calories in/calories out model and some of the flaws of this model14:00 - Dr Rentea discusses how we can start to learn a new way of doing things and take a more long-term approach concerned with quality of food and listening to your body.15:41 - We learn about the importance of listening to yourselfAll of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Several years ago, leading VC Marc Andreessen proposed the notion that innovation happens through a process of unbundling and rebundling. Healthcare is no exception. Through the micro-specialization of companies, we've witnessed a great deal of unbundling in the industry. Now, we've begun the process of rebundling. So, what does this mean for the future of healthcare tech? And how do venture investors leverage this idea to decide which digital health startups deserve funding? Dr. Vineeta Agarwala is General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where she leads investments for the a16z bio and health fund across digital health care delivery, biotech and life sciences tools and diagnostics. Dr. Agarwala has a special interest in companies leveraging unique datasets to improve healthcare delivery, and she serves on several healthcare portfolio company boards, including Memorial Health, Thyme Care and Waymark. On this episode of HLTH Matters, Dr.  Agarwala joins host Dr. Guatam Gulati to discuss what health payviders are doing to aggregate the best technology for specialty care and how we might integrate such specialized health tech into already complicated workflows. Dr. Agarwala shares her take on the successes and failures of digital health in the last decade, describing how healthcare tech has been transformative for certain patient populations and why she sees most remote connected wearables as a missed opportunity. Listen in to understand how the high bar for fundraising is changing the way a16z makes decisions and get Dr. Agarwala's advice for aspiring founders in healthcare tech. Topics CoveredHow Dr. Agarwala thinks about the unbundling and rebundling of services in healthcareWhat health payviders are doing to aggregate the best possible technology across large numbers of specialty care areasHow we might integrate specialized health tech into already complicated workflows (and why it's such a challenge)Dr. Agarwala's take on patients, providers and payers as joint custodians of healthcare dataThe pros and cons of imposing a government tax on corporations to access healthcare dataHow digital health has been transformative for some small patient populations, health systems and provider practicesWhy Dr. Agarwala sees remote connected wearables as a failure in the absence of intelligent care managementHow the high bar for fundraising has changed the way a16z makes healthcare tech investment decisionsWhy a16z is encouraging its portfolio companies to adopt a lean business modelWhy now is a phenomenal time to start a company in the healthcare technology spaceHow Dr. Agarwala's experience with her grandfather's death informs her work at a16z Connect with Dr. Vineeta AgarwalaDr. Agarwala at Andreessen HorowitzDr. Agarwala on TwitterDr. Agarwala on LinkedIn  Connect with Dr. Guatam GulatiHLTHDr. Gulati on TwitterDr. Gulati on LinkedIn  ResourcesJulie Yoo at Andreesen HorowitzThyme Care

Have you ever heard that you can't create a $1 million business off of a smaller offer? That simply isn't true and today's guest is proof of that. In this episode of Art of Online Business, I sat down with Jessica Berk from Awesome Little Sleepers to talk about how she did that in her niche within a niche. In this case study, we talk about how Jessica runs an evergreen funnel to her course and gets better sales than when she offered live launches. In this episode, she's here to share exactly what she does, how she does it, and how she got to where she is today. You'll also get some behind-the-scenes coaching so you can see how I am working with Jessica to solidify her business so that she can scale it even more. When her 3 year old moved to a big girl bed and started refusing to go to bed and waking up at all hours of the night, she felt like she had a newborn again. She and her husband were miserable! She decided she couldn't survive like this.Everyone talks about sleep struggles when you have a baby, but no one was talking about the sleep struggles that happen when kids get bigger!So, she learned everything she could about toddler development and behavior and got certified as a sleep coach.She's spent the last 7 years perfecting a foolproof framework, the REST Method™, to turn kids into independent sleepers.And she's successfully helped thousands of parents with even the most strong-willed kids get them to bed happily before 8pm and sleeping soundly 10 - 12 hours through the night – with no wake ups.In this episode, you'll learn:Why it's so important to know your audienceWhy she decided to launch a courseWhen she decided to switch to an evergreen modelWhy you need to have your audience at the front of your mindThe impact her course has enabled her to make on her audienceThe foundation we are working on strengthening Jessica's conversion ratesTips for using ad data to make decisions Links & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

I found about Lori's work recently and after reading her book Connections over Compliance: Rewiring our Perceptions of Discipline, I really wanted to bring her on as a guest because I believe the work she is doing is revolutionary. Lori's work centers around helping educators, parents, and any adults who work with children shift the way they think about discipline by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience. She's actively pushing back against reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems of children, and is advocating for stronger co-regulation practices and regulated brain and body states for adults. During this conversation, we consider why there is such a powerful foundational belief that discipline and punishment go together, what happens when the traditional methods of punishment are imposed on children who are coming to school with trauma or a heightened nervous system, and why it's so important for educators to take responsibility over their own nervous system regulation.  About Dr. Lori DesautelsDr. Lori Desautels, has been an Assistant Professor at Butler University since 2016 where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate programs in the College of Education.Lori's passion is engaging her students through the social and relational neurosciences as it applies to education by integrating the Applied Educational Neuroscience framework, and its learning principles and practices into her coursework at Butler. Lori is the author of 4 books. Her most recent book, Connections over Compliance: Rewiring our Perceptions of Discipline was released in late 2020. Her new book will be published in January, 2023 entitled, “Intentional Neuroplasticity, Our Educational Journey Towards Post Traumatic Growth.” Things you'll learn from this episodeWhy there is such a powerful foundational belief that discipline and punishment go togetherWhat happens when the traditional methods of punishment are imposed on children who are coming to school with traumas or a heightened nervous systemWhy we should be moving away from the behavior management modelWhy it's so important for educators to take responsibility over their own nervous system regulationStrategies for helping teachers (and parents) better show up for dysregulated kids Resources mentionedRevelations in Education, Dr. Lori Desautel's websiteConnections Over Compliance: Rewiring Our Perceptions of Discipline by Dr. Lori DesautelsEyes Are Never Quiet: Listening Beneath the Behaviors of Our Most Troubled Students by Dr. Lori DesautelsResources from Revelations in EducationDr. Bruce PerryDr. Mona Delahooke on the Power of Brain-Body Parenting (Tilt Parenting podcast episode)Support the showConnect with Tilt Parenting Visit Tilt Parenting Take the free 7-Day Challenge Read a chapter of Differently Wired Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram

How can you help your team to do the best work of their lives? By building a conducive culture that allows them to thrive. Gustavo Razzetti is a sought-after speaker, culture consultant, and author of three books. He realised that most companies don't lack ideas, resources, or talent, but rather an advantageous culture. And so he created Fearless Culture, a workplace culture consulting firm, to help organisations become purpose-driven, agile, and innovative. He's also the creator of the Culture Design Canvas, a culture mapping tool used by consultants, coaches, and organisations worldwide.On this episode of The Melting Pot, Gustavo discusses the book he wrote during the pandemic, Remote Not Distant, which takes the concept of deliberately designing a culture and applying it to a new normal hybrid workplace. Because how do you design a culture that helps everyone thrive when not everybody is office based?

In this week's podcast episode, Emily chats with Cherie Edilson, local business enthusiast and CEO of Member Marketplace Inc. Cherie digs into her journey as a local business owner and shares how that experience gave her an honest look at the challenges small businesses have to face. This spurred her to create Member Marketplace Inc, a business that makes it easy to implement an e-commerce marketplace for your community or organization, creating a one-stop shop for buying products and services from businesses online.After becoming a mother, Cherie launched a hair bow business called the Pink Barrette when she was looking for something with flexible hours that would still allow her to stay home with her kids. She started selling at farmers markets, on her website, and on Amazon.It was at one of these farmers markets that she realized a lot of local businesses relied heavily on events to sell their products. Because of her experience with the Pink Barrette, she knew the impact that e-commerce could have on a local business. This led her to create Member Marketplace with her husband, a web developer. From there they've expanded to work with local businesses and organizations all over the country including Shop Iowa, Shop Made In Nevada, California Shop Small, and Shop North Dakota.Cherie chats more in this episode about her pivot from local business to startup and what it's been like to be a part of a startup accelerator.

Send us a textWhen I first created Revolutionary Brand, I didn't realize that people really need a lot of support and help when it comes to just marketing themselves, their expertise, or how to help leads make buying decisions with them. It was originally created for people who were trying to consistently sell their high-ticket offers but needed to learn how to craft them, and how to explain what the value is from the perspective of the person buying so that they didn't have to focus so much of their energy on proving themselves to people. To celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the program, I wanted to do a 4-part series where I walk you through the entire framework that helps service-based entrepreneurs and coaches attract aligned, qualified leads for their service and programs between $2K-$10K. Have your pen and paper ready to take notes, because you're going to need it. In part 1, we're going to discuss how to clarify your winning offer concept so you can have a high-ticket offer you can be confident in to launch. Here's a closer look at the episode:Why I created Revolutionary BrandHow to determine your MVPsWhat it means to have a profitable business modelWhy every high-ticket offer needs a frameworkResources:Revolutionary Brand (now only a part of Revolutionary Society)Website: https://hermarketingcoach.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hermarketingcoachThanks for joining me on The Revolutionary CEO podcast!

Ask any parent what it's like to know your teen or young-adult child is coming home from drug treatment and you'll see a very frightened, confused, and anxious person. It's a highly vulnerable time for the child and a hopeful, yet confusing and terrifying time for parents and caregivers. Wonder, co-founded by Dave Herz and Willow Rubin is a unique program closing that gap in care, role-modeling, support, and expertise when it's needed most. This was such an enlightening and hopeful conversation with two people who have played many roles in the treatment and therapeutic world and I'm so grateful for them sharing their knowledge and insights with us. You'll hear about:How Dave & Willow noticed a gap in traditional treatment for teens and young adults and then developed a therapy service that fills itWhat teens and young adults actually want most from their parentsWhat Dave describes as “warrior work” for parents and why it's the hardest thing to doHow meeting kids where they are (aka, not in a therapist office) is such an important part of their successTheir philosophy of “we show up,” what it takes to deliver on it, and what that looks like vs traditional modelsWhy they provide separate coaches for parents and teens/young adults to meet their different needsHow they work with parents to help them stop enabling destructive behavior and recognize their own needs and boundariesHow they help parents feel empowered and enabled to make their own choices The uncomfortable reality that we as parents don't have control over what our kids do - but how we can still help themThe difference between loving unconditionally and enablingWhy it's important for parents to be held accountable - as well as their kids Why parents shouldn't focus on future outcomes and spend time in “future thinking”How kids don't make their decisions based on the future like adults often doWhat they're seeing today related to the opioid epidemicHow they're transitioning their in-person model to adjust for COVID-19The role of energy and creativity in their therapeutic modelWhy things may be getting better with your kid even if their behavior isn't changing, and how to tellShow notes with recommended resources and full transcript at www.brendazane.com/hopestream/16If you're a mom who needs strength and support while your child is experimenting with or addicted to drugs, or recovering from addiction, please join our private online community, The Stream, at www.brendazane.com/thestream.Download my free ebook “HINDSIGHT: 3 Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Addicted to Drugs
