Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show!What if the biggest marketing problem in your organization isn't the marketing team at all?In this episode, Michael Hartmann sits down with Charral Izhiman, Head of Marketing at Bayobab and author of The Marketing Movement, for a conversation about why so many organizations still misunderstand what marketing is supposed to do, and what it takes to fix that from both sides.Charral's perspective is refreshingly different. Her book isn't written to teach marketers how to market. It's written to help non-marketing leaders understand how to actually work with marketing. That framing opens up a rich discussion about the gap between strategy and execution, and why Ops professionals may be the best-positioned people in the business to close it. In this conversation, they discuss:The outdated assumptions organizations still hold about marketing, and how marketers unintentionally reinforce themWhy Ops teams sitting at the intersection of marketing, sales, finance, and leadership are uniquely positioned as translators across the businessThe SHAPE framework, and why "Activation" is the overlooked layer between planning and resultsWhy organizations romanticize strategy and celebrate execution but skip operational readiness in the middleThe Formula 1 metaphor for marketing leadership: everything that has to come together before you can even competeWhether you're in Marketing Ops, RevOps, or marketing leadership, this episode is full of ideas for anyone trying to bridge the gap between strategy, operations, and the rest of the business. The conversation doesn't end here.

Fresh off 17 years at Google, a keynote at the H2F Symposium, and a hospital room that reordered his priorities entirely. This one goes well past fitness.What we get into:What Newton saw at the H2F Symposium that Google never gave him — a room full of people who had dedicated their careers to a mission with no big financial payoff at the end, and actually meant it.Corporations as machines — why purpose-driven language at large companies eventually stops holding water, and what the difference looks like when the mission isn't profit.Strategic vulnerability — it's not open sharing, it's context-dependent and calculated. Vulnerability builds trust unless it reveals incompetence at a core responsibility. That distinction matters a lot in the military.The senior NCO who posted his failed two-mile run on social media — Drew, Alex, and Newton work through whether that was useful vulnerability or a self-own.The psychopathy of organizations — Newton's framework: psychopaths rise because they feel nothing, emotionally repressed leaders accumulate moral injury until they go toxic, and emotionally integrated leaders are the best case but the rarest outcome.Lying to Ourselves — the 2015 paper on dishonesty in the Army profession, and new data showing that reported unit readiness is moderately negatively correlated with actual performance at combat training centers.We're here to love and take care of each other, and that's it — Newton's first principle, arrived at in a hospital room after his daughter's leukemia diagnosis.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Ashley Langford, Marketing Operations and RevOps Leader.Summary: Ashley Langford has every credential the MOps job search advice says you're supposed to have: 2 Marketo Champion designations, a decade of B2B SaaS experience across multiple industries, a strong community presence, and a track record of building functions from scratch. She's still getting auto-rejected within minutes and ghosted by companies she was genuinely excited about. In this episode, she breaks down what the MOps job search actually looks like in 2026 from the inside, including how she uses Claude to build an interview packet before every meeting, why she has a hard line against unpaid take-home projects, and how the director-level search carries friction points that most job search content ignores entirely. She also says something most practitioners won't say out loud: she realized she was performing confidence instead of having it. If you're in a search right now, or know someone who is, this one is worth your full attention.About Ashley LangfordAshley Langford is a Director of Marketing Operations and 2-time Marketo Champion who has built and led MOps functions from scratch across B2B SaaS companies including LastPass, Integrate, HackerRank, GreenSky, and Waystar. Her work spans fintech, insurance, biotech, and HR technology, with deep expertise in Marketo, Salesforce, 6sense, and Looker. Adobe's Marketo Champion program selects around 40 practitioners globally each year; Ashley has earned the designation twice, in 2020 and 2023, and is also a Marketo Revvie Award Finalist.What Nobody Warns You About When You Get Laid OffThe shame of a layoff hits in a specific, quiet way that almost nobody includes in the public job search conversation. It doesn't look like despair. It doesn't stop you from applying, updating the resume, or showing up to the networking calls. It just tilts you. You overexplain the layoff in interviews. You hedge when confidence is what the moment requires. You walk in grateful to be considered instead of knowing what you're worth.Ashley Langford is 4 months into a search that should, by any rational measure, be going better. She has 2 Marketo Champion designations, a decade of track record across multiple industries, and genuine community presence. Her time at LastPass ended in a layoff that was clearly business-driven following the company's public turbulence. None of that insulated her from the quiet voice that arrives anyway.She didn't recognize it immediately. It took a few conversations before she saw what was happening. "I was performing confidence instead of actually having it," she says. For someone whose professional identity is built on expertise and results, that admission is uncomfortable. But naming it is where you start. You can't correct what you haven't acknowledged.The market doesn't help. Ashley has the credentials, the community ties, and the network. She's done what the standard job search advice prescribes. She's still getting auto-rejected within minutes and ghosted by companies she was genuinely excited about. "I haven't been ghosted this much since I was on Tinder like 12 years ago," she says. "At least then I knew why."The honest accounting: being well-credentialed matters inside the MOps community, where a Marketo Champion designation opens doors with people who know what it means. Outside that community, there are plenty of doors where it doesn't register. And the external recruiter pipeline, which used to generate steady inbound interest for practitioners at her level, has gone almost completely quiet. That drought is a real signal about what's happening in this market. The job posting numbers don't capture it.The practitioners who move through a senior search with the most clarity tend to be the ones who name what they're carrying early. The public-facing posture, excited about what's next, lots of great conversations, is one layer. The private reality of a Wednesday afternoon is another. Closing that gap starts with honesty about the performance, not just the tactics.Key takeaway: Name the performance gap before your search does it for you. After your next interview, write down 1 moment where you hedged, over-explained, or undersold your work. Identify the specific claim you avoided making. Draft the version with a number attached, and practice saying it without softening it until it sounds like your default.Where the MOps Job Search Actually Happens in 2026The job search advice is consistent about channels. LinkedIn, niche job boards, the hidden market through direct outreach and community presence, networking as a KPI. The framework is reasonable. What's harder to find is how it actually plays out for a practitioner with a specific profile in a specific market.Ashley's day starts on LinkedIn. New postings first, then the feed, because hiring managers sometimes announce open roles informally before they list them. From there: VC-backed job boards, which surface companies building fast. She's tried the Ashby job board search technique and found listings that hadn't appeared anywhere else. Greenhouse, the ATS platform, now has a cross-company search function that most people haven't found yet.After all of it, where are actual responses coming from? LinkedIn. The hidden job market is real and worth working. It's also producing less than the visible one right now. Anyone spending most of their search trying to unlock doors not listed on job boards while ignoring the platform still generating replies is optimizing against their own results.On conversations as the primary KPI, Ashley's take is more nuanced than the standard advice. She's gotten jobs through her network before. The approach works. But it requires having the kind of network that actually moves for you: people who will pick up the phone and make a call, not just say they'll keep an eye out. "The ratio depends on your network that you've actually built, not the one that you wish you have," she says.There's a structural wrinkle for MOps practitioners specifically. MOps people tend to be industry-agnostic, which is part of what makes the role valuable. Ashley has worked in fintech, insurance, biotech, and HR tech. That breadth is an asset in the market. It's also why her first-degree connections aren't concentrated in any one industry or company cluster. The broader the career path, the more spread out the network, and the harder it is to find someone who happens to know someone at the specific company hiring right now.The conversations-versus-applications question resolves the same way for most people: you need both. The ratio just depends on what you've actually built, and being honest about which bucket your network falls into before committing to a strategy built around the other one.Key takeaway: For 2 weeks, track which channel produces each actual response, not each application sent. If LinkedIn is generating replies and Ashby isn't, redistribute your time accordingly. Add the Greenhouse cross-company search to your daily routine and check it alongside LinkedIn. Both tools are free and most people haven't found the second one.What Hiring Managers Actually Look For in a MOps ResumeMost job seekers are guessing at what the other side of the table actually looks for. The tactical advice is everywhere: tailor your resume, use keywords from the JD, follow up with the recruiter. What's far less available is the hiring manager's actual perspective from someone who's done both in the same search.Ashley has built MOps teams. She's reviewed application stacks. She knows exactly what she skims past and what makes her stop. Now she's running that same lens on her own materials, which is a sharper fe...
Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show!Today, most teams aren't just struggling to build their AI strategies. The real struggle begins when they try to execute their strategies. In this episode of Ops Cast, host Michael Hartmann sits down with David York, Chief AI and Innovation Officer at Helix CXM, to get practical answers about what it really takes for GTM organizations to move from talking about AI to operationalizing it.David has spent years working at the intersection of marketing operations, RevOps, automation, and AI transformation. Together, he and Michael discovered an uncomfortable truth about how most teams are already overwhelmed by manual work, fragmented processes, shadow systems, and operational debt. Piling "figure out AI" on top of all that creates more chaos. In this conversation, you'll hear:Why the gap between AI strategy and implementation is so hard to closeWhat operational excellence actually looks like in practice, and why it has to come firstWhy mapping how work gets done today is the critical first step before introducing AIThe real difference between automation and "automation plus intelligence"How to identify low-risk, high-value AI use cases (like partially manual lead routing) versus harder onesThe hidden costs teams underestimate: tooling, LLM costs, maintenance, and human monitoringWhere human judgment is still absolutely requiredPractical advice on where to start if you're feeling overwhelmed by AI pressure right nowWhether you lead a scrappy SMB or a specialized team inside a large enterprise, this is a grounded discussion about the reality of AI in modern GTM, beyond the hype and the LinkedIn hot takes.David also published a new book this week, AI-Powered Growth: A 7-Step Adoption and Transformation Framework, which goes deeper into how Marketing Ops leaders can systematically prioritize and operationalize AI initiatives.

Grab a coffee.What we get into:What spiritual fitness actually means — Libby breaks it down to four things: knowing what you believe, understanding that beliefs should evolve, being able to coexist with people who believe differently, and being able to recognize harmful or radicalizing ideologies when they show up.The Spiritual Fitness Survey — an 18-question tool with three subscales: horizontal (community and belonging), mixed (purpose and meaning), and vertical (relationship to the transcendent or divine). Moral injury versus PTSD, and why the difference matters for who you call. Libby's shorthand: shame points toward moral injury and the chaplain. Guilt and fear point toward PTSD and psych. Why the research on religion reducing PTSD risk might be missing a confounding variable — moral injury. If the thing that gives your life meaning is also the thing that got violated, you don't have a protective factor. You have an opening.The 724th Special Tactics case study — how Libby and former podcast guest Chris ran focus groups instead of surveys, built a communication tool instead of a formal metric, and ended up with leadership asking to do their own version because the unit couldn't stop talking about it. Capability-based blueprinting — what it is, why more of the military should use it.The interdisciplinary team problem — why nobody knows when to call the chaplain, why over-specialization and over-generalization are both failure modes, and what "informed consumer" training actually looks like in practice.The table theology tangent — why the ritual of eating together is a human performance intervention that no macro calculator captures.Mentioned in this episode:Dr. Harold Koenig, Duke University — geriatric psychiatrist and pioneer in spirituality, religion, and health researchDr. Warren Kinghorn, Duke — another key name at the intersection of mental health and spiritual healthCapability-Based Blueprinting — developed within CHAMP, Dr. Chamberlain's workMatt Larson — former podcast guest, moral injury talk from the H2F Symposium coming soon to the MOPs & MOEs InstagramCharles Vogel, The Art of Community — former podcast guest, Yale Divinity School; the ritual of meals chapter alone is worth the readAllen Frances, Saving Normal — Drew and Alex's white whale guest.

Kaum eine Hunderasse wird so emotional diskutiert wie der Mops. Für die einen ist er ein liebevoller, lustiger und sensibler Begleiter, für die anderen ein Sinnbild moderner Qualzucht.In dieser Folge sprechen wir ausführlich über die Geschichte des Mopses, seinen Charakter, seine ursprüngliche Rolle als Begleithund und darüber, warum gerade diese Rasse heute im Mittelpunkt großer tierschutzrelevanter Debatten steht.Wir schauen uns an:wie sich der Körper des Mopses über die Jahrhunderte verändert hatwarum viele gesundheitliche Probleme nicht nur die Atmung betreffenwas BOAS eigentlich bedeutetweshalb Temperaturregulation, Augen, Wirbelsäule und sogar Schlaf betroffen sein könnenwarum der Retromops so kontrovers diskutiert wirdund ob man einen Mops überhaupt „gesund züchten“ kannDiese Folge soll keine einzelnen Hunde oder Halter*innen verurteilen. Kritik an einer Zuchtform ist nicht dasselbe wie Kritik an einem geliebten Tier.Es wird emotional und es wird unbequem.Aber vielleicht ist genau das wichtig. Hosted on Acast.

They get into why so many marketers struggle to articulate how their company actually makes money, how to translate strategy into a budget and investment plan, and how to secure buy-in from the people holding the purse strings without getting blindsided in the room.Michael and Ondar discussed:Why coming from the business side reshapes how you approach marketingThe reason so many marketers can't explain how their business makes moneyWhat separates growth-driving teams from teams stuck executing activityHow to turn strategy into a real budget and investment planThe biggest mistakes leaders make when seeking buy-in from finance and the boardBalancing spend across acquisition, retention, partnerships, and brandWhy minimizing surprises is a hallmark of strong operatorsWhere AI is already creating a practical advantage in research and learningHow cheap access to strategic knowledge changes career development, and its risksWhat community building (Fast Lane Drive, Worn & Driven Magazine) teaches about retentionWhat makes a brand partnership strategically valuable versus just promotionalIf you've ever wanted to be the marketer the executive team actually listens to, this conversation is a roadmap for getting there.Episode Brought to You By MO Pros The #1 Community for Marketing Operations Professionals MarketingOps.com is curating the GTM Ops Track at Demand & Expand (May 19-20, San Francisco) - the premier B2B marketing event featuring 600+ practitioners sharing real solutions to real problems.

But what Drew and Alex actually get into is bigger than the headline — it's about the lies we tell ourselves about aging, what it really takes to stay ready across decades, and why identity might be the most underrated performance variable in the building.Drew and Alex also open with results from a poll that surprised everyone — including them.What we get into:How a poll asking which soldier is more operationally effective — perfect fitness score with bad sleep and stress, or minimum passing score with great relationships and recovery — came back 90% in favor of option two. And what that says about what the military actually measures versus what it probably should.Jamie's road back in — the heart murmur that got him medically declined years ago, the DCO process, three interviews, a full MEPS physical, the SEAL Physical Screening Test, and finally commissioning in front of 70 friends and family at 50 years old.Why identity is the most underrated longevity tool — Jamie has never called himself old and broken, and he credits that framing as much as any training protocol for why he's still in the game.The simple running framework that actually works — two easy runs, one tempo, one long run, 15 to 20 miles a week. No pose method required. Just run.What fitness culture looks like inside the SEAL teams now versus two decades ago — less about getting jacked, more about the HYROX athlete profile. Strong runners who can also move weight. And pull-ups that actually count.A full breakdown of every major service fitness test — what Jamie likes, what he'd cut, and why the Marine Corps three-mile run might be the most honest single measure of fitness across any branch.The FAT — Drew and Alex's Fitness Aptitude Test — one rep max deadlift, AMRAP pull-ups, five-mile run. Jamie grades it live, makes some edits, and floats a Cooper Test–style 20-minute max distance format that might actually be the move.Old generation versus new generation — who's actually fitter?

We approve work, then reopen it at the last minute. We pile up version 20, 30, 40 of a deliverable, wondering why nothing ever feels finished.In this episode of Ops Cast, host Michael Hartmann sits down with Kira Troilo, founder of Art & Soul Consulting, who brings two decades of theater experience into the world of team collaboration. Her insight is that most teams are stuck in "performance mode," being careful and polite, when what they really need is "rehearsal mode," where it's safe to be messy, disagree early, and surface the truth before it gets expensive.Michael and Kira discussed:Why politeness is a hidden source of inefficiency, and what the "silence tax" actually costs organizationsThe real reason approval cycles balloon into endless rounds of revisionsHow theater's "first rehearsal" tradition translates to designing better team kickoffsWhy tools, workflows, and AI don't fix the underlying communication problemPractical tactics teams can adopt this week to give honest feedback earlierWhether AI and automation make these collaboration challenges better or worseHow leaders can shift from managing output to designing how their teams work togetherIf you've ever felt that rework, fire drills, and misalignment are symptoms of something deeper on your team, this conversation will give you a new lens and a starting point.Episode Brought to You By MO Pros The #1 Community for Marketing Operations Professionals MarketingOps.com is curating the GTM Ops Track at Demand & Expand (May 19-20, San Francisco) - the premier B2B marketing event featuring 600+ practitioners sharing real solutions to real problems.

No Alex, no guests — just two dads talking honestly about what happens to training when kids show up and life gets real.This isn't a "here's how to stay jacked after having kids" episode. It's more honest than that. It's about shifting your entire reason for training, giving yourself permission to let go of who you were in the gym before kids, and why the example you set matters more than any number on the bar.Drew is a single dad to a five-year-old girl. John has a three-year-old daughter and an eight-month-old son. Both of them have figured some of this out the hard way.What we get into:How both of their relationships with fitness completely changed after having kids — and why that's actually a good thing.Why Drew stopped caring about PRs and started doing yoga in the garage with his daughter.John's 12-and-a-half-year streak of daily pushups, the Hugh Jackman Wolverine program, and what 11 days of keto on coconut oil actually feels like.The girl dad angle — setting the standard for the type of person your daughter grows up to value, and why that starts now.Why being "there" after a brutal training session isn't the same as being present.Facing your own mortality when you become a parent — and why that's less dark than it sounds.The stroller as a training tool, hiking in dresses, and using your kid as a weight because she thinks it's hilarious.The Open by Andre Agassi, early sports specialization, and why making fitness fun early beats everything else.Mentioned in this episode:Mass Hysteria by Michael Blevins — All In Performance, required reading for girl dadsThe Open by Andre Agassi — John's current read, highly recommendedLong and Strong — the Mops and Moes training program on Train HeroicPhil Collins, Tarzan, Brother Bear, Robin Hood, The Wild Robot — Drew has opinionsWant a program that fits real life — not a perfect schedule that doesn't exist?The Mops and Moes bundle on Train Heroic is built for people with actual constraints.

We're buying expensive tech, running chess drills, and staring at doorknobs. And almost none of it transfers to performance when it actually counts.This one gets into near vs. far transfer, why brain training apps don't work the way we think they do, what orbital warfare has to do with any of this, and why expertise might be the best fatigue management tool we have.If you work in human performance, coach athletes, or just want to understand why the thing you're doing might not be doing what you think it's doing — this episode is for you.Mentioned in this episode:Chase & Simon (1973) — the foundational chess study on expert vs. novice memoryNASA Task Load Index (TLX) — search it, bookmark it, the website is genuinely excellentThe Tyranny of Metrics by Jerry Mueller — referenced again, still relevant, still not on the podcastThink and Fight Drills / Maneuver Chess — US Naval Institute Press, Marine Corps Times, War on the RocksCognitive Performance Training Level One — listed as a resource on the H2F mental domain page, worth reading criticallyNeuroTracker — they're welcome to come on and make their caseReady to train with a program that actually makes sense?The Mops and Moes bundle on Train Heroic — built around real principles, not gimmicks.

Marketing has grown into a measurable revenue engine, but that transformation has come at a cost, and the pressure on operators is now constant, unrelenting, and in many cases, unsustainable.Our guest is Debbie Qaqish, one of the original pioneers of Revenue Marketing and Marketing Operations, and the founder of her new venture, The Growth Factor.

But the conversation around why that keeps happening is worth having.What we get into:What the CFT actually is — seven events, one running clock, pass or fail. And why if you can run a 10-minute mile you're probably fine.Why the EIB standard is the same test, with body armor and a helmet, three minutes faster — and what that says about how easy the CFT bar actually is.The Pygmalion effect — every time the Army lowered the standard, it told the force exactly what it thought they were capable of.Why one soldier who enlisted in 2019 and served until 2023 only took one PT test in four years of infantry service. Because we kept changing things.The medic problem — combat is literally in their MOS name, and they're not on the list.Why 13 Bravo cannon crew members aren't considered combat arms but Army divers are, and what that says about how this list gets built.The case for publishing MOS-level fitness score averages so soldiers can see where they actually stand relative to their peers.Whether having the Pentagon direct fitness culture is a good thing — and why for some services it might be the only thing that's actually moved the needle.Mentioned in this episode:Secretary Hegseth's September 2025 memo — Military Fitness Standards for the Department of WarACRT — the earlier Army competitor to the ACFT that never made itDA Pam 611-21 — Military Occupational Classification and Structure, Alex knew the number off the top of his headAFT Insight — aftinsight.com, free AFT score interpreter and training programsBUSAR — their proposed fitness test that requires a picnic table and holds up surprisingly wellTyler Vargas Andrews — Whistling Death on Instagram, lost an arm and a leg at Abbey Gate and still goes harder than most people with all four limbsMelissa Stockwell — Paralympic triathlete, showed up to a climbing gym without a prosthetic and just climbed anywayThe Tyranny of Metrics by Jerry Mueller — referenced again, Jerry please come on the podcast
April ends with controversy at City Hall - Episode 18 reviews two stories that's put the pressure on council. In one case, Salisbury House being sidelined on a longstanding contract for a pair of golf courses; in the other, inaction by the city has put a venerable community and Metis heritage site at risk of erasure. Part 1- Marty briefly touches on his attendance at the 2026 Retail Crime Prevention Conference at X-Cues Event Centre and the comments of "harm reduction" workers to the audience, and then on his most recent Winnipeg Sun columns.- You'll be seeing some public relations posts online by Sunshine House, which operate a MOPS (mobile drug use enabling) van. This week, the violence around their service locations, and the way they acquired federal drug site exemption, are under the microscope. Read why - Sisler High School in the North End has earned praise for building a powerhouse in Reach For The Top competitions, winning the Manitoba senior high championship this year.9.40 Part 2- Kelly Ryback is one of the best friends taxpayers have when it comes to monitoring spending and best practices by City Council. He joins TGCTS to review his findings on two important files. The decision to accept a bid from American-owned Aramark to provide food and beverage services at Windsor Park and Kildonan golf courses came at the expense of longtime provider 'Sals'. Ryback says his research shows it's also coming at the expense of local golfers, with far higher pricing than the Winnipeg-owned and operated restaurant chain. The city giving only ten days notice of the change added to concerns about what was in play with the deal- such as revenue sharing or other considerations. Ryback goes through the operational aspects typically considered in such RFP bids, and the political fallout for Mayor Gillingham and other councillors. Even though many on Council have said they aren't happy that bureaucrats claim Sals didn't make the cut, they could be carrying the bag when 'Canada first' voters cast their ballots in October.30.40 Part 3- Kelly Ryback has been involved with the historic Grant's Old Mill on west Portage Avenue for years. Hear him explain the work he and other community volunteers have done to keep it going and raise funds - and provincial government funding commitments - to maintain and improve the facility. As the city dawdled and reversed course on committing annual budget funding, the window to fix the building passed by and it's now been declared beyond repair. Winnipeg Sun: City hall failure shuts historic Winnipeg MillRyback says that area Councillor Shawn Dobson has only attended half of one board meeting in 2 1/2 years, and his failure to meet with advocates and support the project and help meet required deadlines risked the provincial money, and has contributed to the current crisis. Ryback says the Mayor knew about Dobson's flippant attitude and said he'd speak with the St. James councilman. Ryback and Marty discuss the background of the mill site, the legend of Cuthbert Grant starting agricultural commerce in the region, and his standing as a Metis leader.49.52- “Is this now an election issue in St James- Assinboia?”“Yes it is.”Ryback, who was a candidate for the ward seat in 2022, gives an overview of the community affected, the role of former Premier Ed Schreyer whose administration funded the mill as a Winnipeg Centennial Project in 1974, and the role the Manitoba Metis Federation can play. However, unless the chips fall into place and includes sufficient city funding beyond the rebuild for park enhancements and other equipment, Grant's Old Mill may not be open to the public until 2031. Ryback says that's not acceptable.****TGCTS is Winnipeg's only Public Affairs podcast.

Joseph Fourre intended to hold a press conference on Wednesday regarding a shady Health Canada drug site exemption that he wants revoked. When the founder of the Singing Red Bear Foundation got to the site, he saw disorder, violence and a woman who was assaulted get blamed by the site operators. Part 1- Episode 17 opens with a brief recap of Marty's recent columns in the Winnipeg Sun:"They're the epitome of cancel culture. They come into theneighborhood, harass the synagogue attendees, harass senior citizens walking by, and accuse anyone who isn't on board with being complicit in what they call genocide. That's not free speech.” According to John Collison, the harassment also targeted innocent children."Cops escort Jew-haters to River Heights, then blame passer-by for their aggressive anger"The Winnipeg Police Service has shifted Inspector Helen Peters out of her role as liason for the facility... (and) If Aboriginal Health and Wellness officials, who will be handing out needles at their site to addicts, want to be taken seriously about dealing with dirty rigs, they need to broaden the pick-up range substantially, and self-impose a needle return rate."More changes to safe consumption site plan needed to sway opponents7.22 Part 2- Based on a Free Press article about the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre claiming they would have a 'Good Neighbour' policy around the planned drug user facility at 366 Henry Avenue, Joseph Fourre decided it was time to speak out about whether the organization, and their so-called cohorts, are able to do even the minimum required to keep the public safe. Before he spoke, he went to the parking lot near Main and Logan beside a treatment centre, where Sunshine House parks a MOPS van around noon to enable addicts, 5 days a week. Sunshine House has been designated as providers of similar services for the Henry site until the building is renovated. In short order, "it was chaos." A recovering heroin addict who previously utilized a consumption site in Edmonton, Fourre describes watching a couple overdosing on the sidewalk with no urgency from the MOPS van staff to help them. Then, the woman who runs the Edge Gallery tried to shoo users getting high in the doorway- and walked over to the van to complain. "Out of nowhere" a lady came over and "smoked her" in the face, cutting her beside the left eye. According to Fourre, MOPS staff blamed the victim for "inciting" the attack, and police ignored four calls from her asking for help, with blood streaming down her face."I was appalled," he said, confirming there are no spotters from the Health Canada-approved van to monitor the surroundings for overdoses or violent behavior. Fourre tells about addicts wanting detox treatment beds, and finding out they're on their own thanks to the NDP's fixation on supervising consumption. 24.45 Part 3- Fourre explains that Edge Gallery is about to lose funding because children coming for arts classes are not safe in the area, and the MOPS van perpetuates the danger. He reveals the approval of the Sunshine House application to be exempt from drug laws is being challenged because the public consultation was manipulated to suppress the concerns of business owners and the general public. Marty tells about his review of the paperwork. None of this inspires confidence that the Henry site will be kept safe. With the NDP only opening day beds for treatment, Fourre insists a change of direction is needed to get addicts into meaningful recovery, "a therapeutic model." As for the NDP's claim of a "mandate" to open a site, he says the pushback at the town halls proved that's untrue and reflects the end result of 60 years of NDP rule in Point Douglas. Fourre predicts that when the consumption site falls apart, AHWC "will be the ones holding the bag" and that the fact 25-30% of overdose deaths are first time users is being ignored.****To donate towards our Season 7 costs, email martygoldlive@gmail.com

Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show!What happens when you throw out a nearly finished $500K rebrand… and rebuild it in two months for $22K?In this episode of Ops Cast, Michael Hartmann sits down with Michael Yehoshua, CMO at WiseStamp, to discuss a decision that most marketing leaders would never make and why it worked.Michael walked into an 18-month rebrand that looked polished on the surface but was fundamentally disconnected from real customer insight. Instead of finishing it, he scrapped the entire effort and rebuilt the brand using AI in a completely different way.What followed was not just a faster rebrand, but a change in how decisions get made. From analyzing customer conversations for emotional signals to rethinking how content is structured for LLM-driven discovery. This conversation challenges many of the assumptions behind traditional marketing, SEO, and brand strategy.This is not a tools discussion. It is about how marketing and operations teams need to rethink data, signals, and decision-making in an AI-shaped environment.Topics covered include:• Why a nearly complete $500K rebrand was scrapped• How AI was used to listen to customers instead of just generating content• What analyzing tone, intent, and “aha moments” reveals beyond transcripts• How Marketing Ops teams should think about capturing new types of signals• Why optimizing for LLMs is different from optimizing for traditional search• The shift in content, backlinks, and site structure for AI-driven discovery• Why traffic can drop while conversions improve• What metrics matter when traditional SEO signals become less reliable• Why brand may become more important, not less, in an AI-first worldIf you are in Marketing Ops, RevOps, or growth, this episode forces a hard rethink.

Colliers' National Director of Healthcare Shawn Janus discusses the shift to outpatient care, medtail, AI in clinical settings, and why healthcare real estate keeps growing regardless of cycles. The Crexi Podcast connects commercial real estate (CRE) professionals with industry insights built for smart decision-making. In each episode, we explore the latest trends, innovations and opportunities shaping commercial real estate, because we believe knowledge should move at the speed of ambition and every conversation should empower professionals to act with greater clarity and confidence. Shawn Janus has spent more than 30 years building national healthcare real estate platforms, first at Lillibridge, then JLL, and now Colliers, where he serves as National Director of Healthcare. He has worked on both the principal and advisory sides of the business, giving him a perspective most people in this niche never develop. In this episode, Shawn joins host Adam Siegel for a conversation about building a national healthcare practice, why the shift from inpatient to outpatient is accelerating, what AI is doing in clinical settings today, and why someone once told him healthcare was boring. Shawn Janus's background and 30 years in CRE From accounting at Peat Marwick to commercial real estate A fraternity connection that led him into healthcare real estate The first private REITs and the institutionalization of the asset class Growing platforms from the ground up: Lillibridge, JLL, and Colliers What it takes to build a national healthcare brokerage platform Culture, brand, training, and the partnership model Why healthcare real estate is still a relationship business Advising REITs, developers, health systems, and physician groups How a principal background makes a better advisor MOBs are now MOPs: why the vernacular shift matters Healthcare as the tortoise: steady gains, no dramatic crashes Slow decision-making, government reimbursement, and payer mix What is driving the shift from inpatient to outpatient care Demographics, home health, technology, and consumer expectations Is enough being built to meet the coming demand? No. Physician shortages and the workforce crisis keeping C-suite up at night Why office conversions rarely work — and why retail does Medtail: parking, open floor plates, ceiling heights, and flexibility Does medical traffic help or hurt retail co-tenants? Where AI is making an impact: diagnostics and back office Robotics in surgical settings and flexible space design Telehealth, waiting room shrinkage, and throughput efficiency What will drive healthcare real estate over the next three to five years Tracking federal reimbursement, CMS, and lobbying activity weekly Step back from the micro and read the macro Geographic markets and following the demographic growth states Need never goes away and change creates opportunity Behavioral health, rehab, and the specialty areas growing fastest Rapid fire: $10M stabilized outpatient, worst advice, contrarian take About Shawn Janus: As National Director | Healthcare for the USA, Shawn's focus is to cultivate a strong, value-driven platform in the healthcare space, allowing Colliers to raise the bar in delivering innovative and successful solutions to our healthcare clients.

Host Michael Hartmann is joined by co-hosts Mike Rizzo and Naomi Liu for a candid, no-guest conversation about one of the biggest questions in operations right now, which is what are we actually getting from AI?With massive funding announcements, rapid product releases, and constant noise around AI, it is easy to assume everyone is seeing results. But when you look closer, most teams are still struggling to measure real impact beyond surface-level efficiency gains.In this episode, we discussed the gap between hype and reality, exploring why ROI is so difficult to quantify, where AI is genuinely useful today, and the expectations that users have for what the technology can actually deliver.In this episode, you will learn:1. What OpenAI's massive funding signals for the future of AI and operations2. Why most teams cannot clearly measure ROI from AI initiatives3. The difference between time savings and real revenue impact4. Hidden costs of AI tools that make ROI harder to track5. Why AI adoption often fails without proper change management6. The belief gap, skill gap, and expectation gap are slowing teams down7. How fear and uncertainty are shaping AI adoption inside organizations8. Why the “AI gold rush” does not guarantee real business value9. What AI agents can and cannot do without human oversight10. Why strong operators become more valuable in an AI-driven worldThis episode challenges the assumption that AI automatically drives value and offers a more grounded perspective on how operators should think about adoption, measurement, and long-term impact.Episode Brought to You By MO Pros The #1 Community for Marketing Operations Professionals MarketingOps.com is curating the GTM Ops Track at Demand & Expand (May 19-20, San Francisco) - the premier B2B marketing event featuring 600+ practitioners sharing real solutions to real problems.

We got the MOPs & MOEs team together to hash out a sticky topic: Is walking exercise?We certainly get into more nuance on than that. Is walking EFFICIENT exercise? WHO is walking appropriate exercise for? What does research say about various walking PROTOCOLS? There are layers to this conversation, and we peel several of those layers back.If you want to dive into some of the research we mention that assessed Interval Walk Training, here are a few of the papers you can look up:Nemoto et al, 2007Nose et al, 2009Morikawa et al, 2011Karstoft et al, 2013Jakobsen et al, 2016Kitajima et al, 2023

However, the best operators learn how to use it to their advantage.In this episode of Ops Cast, Michael Hartmann sits down with Anna Lecat, CEO and Founder of Bridging Global and author of the upcoming book Loving Conflict, to explore why conflict is not something to eliminate, but something to understand and navigate.If you work in Marketing Ops, RevOps, or any cross-functional role, you are constantly operating between teams with different priorities, incentives, and perspectives. The question from this conversation is whether you avoid it or learn how to work through it effectively.Anna brings more than 25 years of experience leading multicultural teams and working across global organizations. She shares practical ways to reframe conflict, build trust, and turn difficult conversations into productive outcomes.Topics covered include• Why conflict naturally shows up in operations roles• The concept of “loving conflict” and what it actually means in practice• How different teams operate with different “languages” and priorities• Why people feel stuck in the middle and how to shift that mindset• How to prepare for difficult conversations with stakeholders or leadership• Common mistakes that escalate conflict instead of resolving it• How strong operators and leaders handle tension differentlyThis episode is not about frameworks or tools. It is one of the most overlooked skills in operations, the ability to solve conflict in a way that builds alignment rather than breaks it.Loving Conflict by Anna Lecat If this conversation feels relatable, Anna's book goes deeper into the ideas discussed in this episode. This offers a practical framework for turning tension into trust, alignment, and stronger relationships across teams.

She views marketing as promise-making and operations as promise-keeping, and she focuses heavily on retention, customer psychology, and the full journey from first touch to long-term loyalty.This conversation challenges the way many organizations think about growth. It looks at why retention is often overlooked, how operational design directly impacts customer experience, and why some of the most valuable insights come from conversations rather than dashboards.Topics covered include:• The transition from marketing into operations and executive leadership• Why the gap between marketing promises and operational delivery matters• Retention vs acquisition and why most companies get the balance wrong• Designing operations around the full customer or patient journey• How understanding human behavior improves internal leadership• The limits of dashboards and why conversation-driven leadership matters• Practical ways to break down silos between marketing, ops, and frontline teamsIf you're leading or working in Marketing Ops, RevOps, or business operations, this episode offers a different lens on growth.

They have allowed units across their brigade to conduct "offset PT" which - importantly - is not just "reverse cycle PT" but rather a flexible approach to when physical training is conducted. Their initial pilot showed huge improvements not just in fitness, but across sleep, nutrition, and even social connections. COL Christopher Brawley, the Brigade Commander, had already implemented this model successfully at 1st Ranger Battalion, so he knew the potential it presented to building trust and organizational performance. CSM Jeremiah Waggoner, a multiple time Best Ranger competitor, was focused on the physical fitness expectations for the formation, as well as keeping NCOs in charge of leading training of all types.Dr. Ellie Van Luit, the brigade's H2F Program Director, saw H2F's role as enabling and supporting this effort, but she emphasized that it was a brigade initiative, not an H2F initiative.You can find the full results of the initial pilot on our free downloads page.

Platforms are becoming search engines, video continues to dominate, and AI tools are rebuilding how people discover brands and information online.In this episode of Ops Cast, Michael Hartmann speaks with Stephanie Gardner, a freelance social media and marketing strategist who works across B2B, B2C, nonprofits, and small businesses. Stephanie focuses on helping organizations build purposeful social strategies that align with real business outcomes rather than vanity metrics.The conversation explores how social platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn are evolving into discovery engines, why brands need to think in terms of searchable intent instead of hashtags and trends, and how the lines between search, social, and AI-driven discovery are rapidly disappearing.Stephanie also explains why follower counts and engagement can be misleading indicators of success, shares real examples of how smaller but more targeted audiences can drive better results, and discusses why executive visibility and employee amplification are becoming essential trust signals in B2B environments.Topics covered include: • The shift from social media feeds to search-based discovery • How Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube are evolving into search engines • Why intent-based visibility matters more than hashtags or trends • The difference between vanity metrics and real business impact • How smaller, targeted audiences can outperform large follower counts • The growing role of executive visibility on LinkedIn • How Marketing Ops teams should think about social, search, and AI togetherIf you work in Marketing Ops, RevOps, or digital marketing strategy, this episode offers a practical look at how discovery behavior is changing and what organizations should start preparing for now.Be sure to like, share, and subscribe to Ops Cast, and join the conversation at MarketingOps.com.Episode Brought to You By MO Pros The #1 Community for Marketing Operations Professionals MarketingOps.com is curating the GTM Ops Track at Demand & Expand (May 19-20, San Francisco) - the premier B2B marketing event featuring 600+ practitioners sharing real solutions to real problems.

In particular we focus on the themes of his article "Bandaids for Bullet Wounds: State Changing to Survive your own Life?" This article has significantly influenced some of our recent discussions around whether we're measuring (and therefore focusing on) the right things in military human performance. We also touch on his experiences training Henry Cavill for several of his movie appearances.Michael's journey began with trying to test his own limits in sports like sailing, rock climbing, and skateboarding. He then transitioned into exploring a range of martial arts disciplines, followed by an evolution into endurance sports, and then the fragility he felt from pushing those limits led him to incorporate weighlifting, crossfit, and strongman style training. He has competed in cycling, triathlon, crossfit, weighlifting, jiujitsu and more.Professionally, he has been a hairdresser, make up artist, photographer, worked in the fashion industry and on the stage... all ultimately developing a skill for building relationships that led him into coaching. He has coached actors preparing for film roles, military service members preparing for selections, and athletes competing at elite levels. Perhaps most notably he coached Henry Cavill leading up to Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman, and Justice League. He also coach both actors and stunt crew for 300: Rise of an Empire, and led a team development camp for the Atlanta Braves. We mentioned the strength manual he published in this conversation, which he's currently rewriting, he's host of the UNFVCKED podcast, and creator of We Are Ollin.In this episode we discussed Ollin's annual event "The Space Race" and you can find the most recent version here.

Since neither of us are experts on either nicotine's health effects or bone health in general, we knew we needed to find an expert to fill us in.Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein is a Sports Medicine Orthopaedic Surgeon and Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Duke University specializing in the care of adolescent and adult athletes. She cares for soccer, lacrosse, and basketball teams as a team physician and consults with may regional gymnastics facilities for care of high level gymnasts. In Dr. Wittstein's clinical practice, approximately half of her focus is on adolescent and adult knee injuries, with patellofemoral stabilization being a common procedure. In addition to her clinical and research work on the patellofemoral joint, Dr. Wittstein also is a co-investigator on NIH funded studies of biomechanical and biochemical factors contributing to post-traumatic arthritis after ACL reconstruction and meniscus surgery. She is passionate about optimizing patient outcomes and safe return to sport after knee injuries.We talked to her a bit after recording about why different bios of her discuss such different work, and it's because she wears so many hats. Some things that bio missed were her particular emphasis on shoulder instability, work on the unique challenges faced by female athletes across the lifespan, and work on mitigating age related issues... It might not be clear from the broad span of research, but first and foremost she is a Full time surgeon. She was a collegiate gymnast at Cornell University, and she is a mother of five.Dr. Wittstein mentioned the app OSTEO-GAINS which helps with progressive plyometric loading will the goal of increasing bone density.
