Hey Team! This week, I'm talking with Rita Ramakrishnan, a seasoned strategic executive and leadership coach with over 15 years of experience. Diagnosed with both ADHD and Autism Spectrum during her undergrad years, Rita reframed what could have been limitations into strengths and now looks to uplift other neurodivergent women in leadership roles. Currently, she is pursuing a master's degree in neurodivergent leadership at the University of Pennsylvania, intensifying her expertise in coaching and organizational strategy tailored to neurodivergent individuals. In our conversation, we cover everything from identifying when you're dysregulated (and what to do about it) to designing teams that play to everyone's strengths. Rita walks us through practical tools like outsourcing strategically, tracking your energy to uncover strengths, and building a leadership charter so teams can work more effectively together. It's a conversation about leading authentically, creating systems that work for your brain, and how to advocate for your needs without falling into people-pleasing traps. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/243 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Try creating a Minimum Viable Routine - your baseline routine that consists of the bare minimum you need in place to function. The point of an MVR is to take those non-negotiables and lock them in, either with automation, outsourcing, or simple systems. That way, when ADHD throws a curveball, you still have the essentials covered. 2. Instead of only measuring productivity by what gets checked off a to-do list, try looking at how you feel after activities. Track when you walk away from a meeting or task feeling energized, and when you walk away feeling drained. 3. Rejection sensitivity hits hard for many folks with ADHD. A short email reply, a period at the end of a text, or even a coworker sounding rushed can feel like a personal rejection. Rita's advice is to deliberately separate yourself from the situation and try to depersonalize feedback. This reframing can help shift from identity-based thinking (like “I'm the problem”) to more situation-based thinking (“this may be tough, but it's fixable”).

Understanding the ins and outs of driver testing and background checks can make all the difference in a trucking career. For Marc Bourne and Grady Phillips, supporting drivers means building trust through transparency and clear communication around testing and background screening.  In this episode, Chelsea Faulkner sits down with Marc Bourne, Vice President of Background Screening, Training, and Compliance Services at Workforce QA, and Grady Phillips, CRO at Workforce QA, who both bring a unique background to trucking, to explore how testing processes can be fair, straightforward, and driver-friendly. They discuss how companies can move beyond just ticking boxes to fostering honest, respectful relationships. You'll hear them bust common myths about drug and background testing, explain why drivers should take charge of their own records, and share how ongoing education and advocacy help create a safer, better-informed trucking community. Marc and Grady stress the importance of treating drivers like people and giving them clarity about what's tested and why it matters.

Sprintex Ltd managing director and CEO Jay Upton talked with Proactive about the company's breakthrough trial order in Europe for its manure-to-fertilizer system, expected to generate AU$8.4 million in revenue. In the interview, Upton outlined the strategic collaboration with Dutch company Mest Water, which specialises in sustainable manure treatment. Upton described the project as a “game changer”, driven by regulatory pressure in the Netherlands to reduce ammonia output from farms. “They have to comply by 2030. Full stop,” Upton said, emphasising the urgency and scope of the opportunity. The system converts manure into clean water, exportable solids, and pelletised fertiliser. A pilot with VanDrie Group, one of the world's largest veal producers, could lead to an initial 200-unit order. Sprintex's energy-efficient compressors have helped improve system performance and reduce costs, contributing to rising interest and projected long-term revenue. Upton also discussed growing European demand for energy-saving technologies, pointing to major cost savings in industrial settings. He hinted at possible European expansion with a new subsidiary, driven by strong infrastructure and sustainability alignment. Sprintex's presence at Hannover Messe generated fresh opportunities, particularly in small-scale mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) systems. Discussions are underway with a Belgian company focused on breweries, showing Sprintex's broader application potential. For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

“I called it MVR. It's a monthly value review. I made it up, but it was essentially creating a notion document, like a template you sent to the customer every month to remind them when the renewal is, what the general sentiment is, what their goals are, and what the progress is to control. You're constantly communicating value to the customer every month. So they're reminded that you're providing them a value, which is a good starting point for shrinking it from quarterly to monthly.”Additionally, Jamie chats with Ted about: Ways to scale and automate your CSThe importance of getting creative with customer communicationThe lessons he learned while growing VitallyPlus, more.Tune in our your favorite podcast app!

 Rafael Arráiz Lucca, historiador, escritor, poeta y ensayista, recordó que los partidos necesitan prácticas democráticas, como las elecciones, para reconciliarse con su sociedad. «Tanto el partido de gobierno como la oposición deben hacer elecciones internas como buenos demócratas para elegir a sus autoridades con base en la mayoría de sus militantes» añadió. El historiador explicó que los partidos políticos son un ejercicio de la libertad de asociación, una de las libertades políticas que consagra la democracia. «Esta es la mejor manera que tienen los individuos para poder llegar al poder» acotó. También te puede interesar: El papel de partidos políticos en la construcción de un país Inició este recorrido sobre la historia de los partidos políticos en Venezuela con el fin de la monarquía y el crecimiento del partido liberal y el conservador. Arráiz destacó que estos eran partidos de cuadros y que luego, Venezuela pasó al voto más directo con partidos de masa en 1947. «Acción Democrática motoriza el proyecto de la democracia en Venezuela por medio de Rómulo Betancourt» señaló. Resaltó que la ilegalización de distintos partidos políticos y la pérdida de sus símbolos ha sido constante en la historia del país. También conversó sobre los inicios del Movimiento V República o MVR con Hugo Chávez. “Ellos no empezaron siendo abiertamente socialistas” añadió.

“If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you” (Zig Ziglar). I excel at finding problems with a process or system and designing, planning and implementing solutions to those problems. Most people dislike change, but I love it! If you are looking for someone to be another cog in the wheel, I'm not going to be the right fit for you.However, given a set of expectations and the freedom to learn, solve, innovate, and build, I will likely exceed the outcome you expected with positive results.At BYU, they asked me to keep the building clean, take out the trash and change light bulbs. So I designed a plan that would allow the building to maintain a leaner cleaning staff who could perform regular cleaning more efficiently so that deep cleaning could happen more often.At Insight Pest Solutions, they asked me to do some stuff with training employees and watch over the vehicles. I created what came to be known as IPSU (Insight Pest Solutions University) -- which was praised by state officials in multiple states as the best in-house technician training program they had ever seen.I also took the “watch over the vehicles” assignment seriously and designed and implemented safety training, vehicle inspections, regular MVR checks, vehicle tracking checks and balances, staggered vehicle leases, etc. Ultimately, these measures saved Insight over $70,000/month last year during April, May, June, July, and August -- being their busy season months, as well as reduced vehicle accident percentages by 15% in 2017 and almost 40% in 2018 -- and that's including a 45% growth in number of vehicles owned by the company. Helen Keller once said: “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

And in the last 12 months, there has been a 30 to 35 percent increase in pay across the board in the last 12 months in the trucking industry, which is a bigger increase than the last 12 years. The ability to go out there and make a good living for the past 12 years has been good in the industry, as I've done it. However, right now, it's even more easier. The money that, a student can make of fresh out of school is more than I was making with experience, 10 years ago. -Shawn Davis ►Follow Just Truck it Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcL6wRt6oXR2Wy_kVj1db_g?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tncdlschool Website: https://cdlschoolinc.com/just-truck-it/ Anchor: https://anchor.fm/JustTruckIt Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3bIRwokMcgomIY8jqLce2f Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy82NzQ2ZWZmOC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-truck-it/id1581292291 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/justtruckit/support

In this episode of Selling the Cloud, we are joined by Paul Melchiorre, legendary Silicon Valley Chief Revenue Officer at leading SaaS companies including Ariba and AnaPlan.Over thirty years, Paul has had the change to be a part of industry leading, high growth companies beginning with SAP where Paul was an early executive for their entry into the North American market.Paul then in 1998 joined Ariba, an early market entrant and ultimately the acknowledged leader in indirect procurement automation. Paul experienced a unique journey in early stage, venture backed companies by staying at Ariba for over 15 years, including being the Global Sales, Services and Partner top executive for the majority of that time.Paul shared why, in the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) role that being responsible for marketing, sales and customer success is a critical element for success.  Several reasons that this is so important is that the customer lifecycle has been changed by the SaaS industry, including the growing importance of existing customer expansion revenue in the evolving "Land and Expand" customer acquisition model.The growing trend of Product Led Growth (PLG)  as a customer acquisition motion will continue to increase the importance of an integrated approach to customer acquisition, retention and expansion. This need for an integrated approach to the customer lifecycle is further highlighted when up to 50% of revenue growth is generated by existing customers.Paul also shares how investing in himself, including earning his MBA in Finance in the middle of his career journey was critical to being a well rounded, CRO that could build credibility with the CFO.Paul further explored how PLG also impacts the need for product management to become a  more integrated part of the revenue generation team.  Another variable discussed is how the stage of the company impacts both the CRO role and the profile of the CRO.  Being able to identify CRO's that have hands-on experience in both early stage, Product Market Fit (PMF) to Minimum Viable Repeatability (MVR) and then from MVR to Minimum Viable Traction (MVT) to true scale is a hard find, but more CRO's like that exist in 2021 than every before.If you have just become a Chief Revenue Officer or have the aspiration to become a CRO in a SaaS or Cloud company, this is a great listen.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
