BONUS: Building Agile Startups with Nick Hughes of Founders Live   Welcome, Agile friends! In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nick Hughes, the founder of Founders Live, a global startup community now operating in more than 100 cities and 50 countries. Our conversation explored what it really takes to build a business and how the principles of agility can help entrepreneurs adapt, iterate, and thrive.   If you've ever wondered how to sharpen your message, build resilience in the face of setbacks, and foster meaningful connections in the startup world, this episode is for you!   The Birth of Founders Live “Test, learn, iterate, and grow. That's how I built Founders Live.”   Nick's story began over 10 years ago when he noticed something missing in the entrepreneurial world—a supportive community where early-stage founders could connect, learn, and grow together. As a founder himself, he knew firsthand how isolating the startup journey could be.   He decided to experiment with an idea, and it worked. Founders Live has since become a thriving global movement where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas, connect with like-minded people, and celebrate innovation in an engaging, fun atmosphere.   Each Founders Live event follows a simple but powerful format: five founders deliver 99-second pitches, followed by four minutes of audience Q&A. Then, the crowd votes on the winner. Add some networking, food, and drinks, and you've got a recipe for an unforgettable experience!   The takeaway here? Test small, see what works, and refine from there.   The Power of a 99-Second Pitch “It's not easy to create your 99-second pitch. But that time frame forces founders to really think: What is my message?”   Nick's 99-second pitch format is more than a clever gimmick—it's a forcing function for founders to get crystal clear about their message. In a short window of time, founders must distill their big idea into something precise, engaging, and impactful.   Many founders tell Nick that while it's nerve-wracking at first, they walk away feeling more confident and impressed with their own ability to communicate under pressure. It's not just about pitching—it's about building communication agility and clarity of purpose.   Why Networking and Mentorship Matter “If you figure out ways to help people and open doors for them, it comes back to you tenfold.”   One of the most valuable aspects of Founders Live is its emphasis on connection. Nick shared that many of the most successful founders he knows have built networks by being generous—by “opening doors” for others. Whether it's offering advice, making introductions, or helping someone troubleshoot a challenge, those who give tend to receive tenfold in return.   His advice for founders? Show up, participate, and look for ways to add value to your community. Authenticity and generosity go a long way in building strong relationships that will support your growth.   Embracing Agility and Resilience “Agility is looking at things as experiments—identify what works, keep that, and stop what isn't working.”   We also dove into the mindset that helps founders bounce back from setbacks. For Nick, agility means viewing everything as an experiment. When things don't go as planned, the question isn't “Why did this happen to me?” but rather “What can I learn from this, and how can I adjust?”   Successful founders are constantly iterating—testing, learning, and evolving. The entrepreneurial journey isn't a straight line; it's a cycle of experimentation and improvement. Agility doesn't just happen in the product—it starts with how you frame your challenges and your willingness to pivot when needed.   Common Misconceptions About Entrepreneurship “We all want creators in the world, but it's a tough road. You need to build something that adds value before pitching it.”   According to Nick, many first-time founders enter the startup world with unrealistic expectations. Building a business isn't just about pitching your idea to investors—it's about creating something valuable, getting traction, and proving adoption first. If you don't have traction or proof points, you're burning bridges by pitching too early.   His advice? Focus on solving real problems and showing early growth before you seek funding. When you walk into the room with evidence that people love your product, your pitch becomes much stronger—and much harder to ignore.   Intrapreneurship: Innovating Inside Larger Companies   Not every entrepreneur is working outside the corporate world—some are internal innovators looking to make a difference within their organizations. For those intrapreneurs, Nick had some great advice: define your opportunity clearly, understand your company's risk tolerance, and align your goals with measurable outcomes.   If you want to pitch new ideas inside a company, start by identifying what success would look like and communicating that vision effectively. Intrapreneurship thrives when there's clarity around expectations and potential rewards.   Nick's Resource Recommendation   When I asked Nick for a resource recommendation, he shared the book “The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life” by David Brooks. It's an inspiring read about finding purpose and meaning by building something bigger than yourself—a fitting message for entrepreneurs seeking to create meaningful impact.   We closed with Nick's final piece of advice: “Test, learn, iterate, and grow. That's how I built Founders Live.”   This simple but powerful mantra reminds us that agility isn't just a process—it's a mindset. Whether you're launching your own startup or driving innovation within a larger organization, success comes from being open to experimentation and continuous improvement.

John talks with Alison Maloni — author of Breaking in the News: Building Buzz for Your Brand, speaker, news anchor with Newsmax TV, President and CEO of Alison May Public Relations, journalist, media relations expert, and loving wife and mother. Prior to being a news anchor, Alison was a TV producer and reporter and has also been featured in Time magazine with Dr. Oz. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] – Intro [02:26] – Alison's bio [03:38] – Alison's backstory and finding her passion for journalism [07:44] – Balancing her business and family life [11:27] – Reality of entrepreneurship vs. the glamorized image on social media [13:56] – Importance of networking and serving others in business [18:12] – Shifting from just promoting your services to telling authentic stories [21:13] – Connecting with people and building your brand [26:03] – Why Alison started a PR firm [29:37] – Alison's team structure [30:29] – Hiring your replacements [31:51] – Alison's upcoming book [34:54] – The power of tears [37:29] – Breaking in the News book [38:54] – John's rule of buying 2 copies of a book [41:56] – Outro NOTABLE QUOTES: “When people talk about starting their own business, it often sounds glamorized—working whenever you want, being your own boss. But the reality is, every client becomes a boss, and instead of one, you have many to answer to.” “If you're doing networking right, your job is to meet new people—first, just to meet them; second, to ask, ‘How can I help that person?' That's what I need to be focused on: helping the other person. Because when I do that, eventually, it comes around.” “Relationships are the currency of business.” “I learned to set boundaries, explain to my clients, and prioritize my family.” “Serving people is where it's at. If you want to make a difference in the world, in both your personal life and your business life, ask yourself: What can I do to help the person who's in front of me right now? What's the one thing I can do to help them?” “People remember stories. They don't remember how long you've been in business. They don't remember the price of the services. They remember the story, and you have to keep telling them the stories.” “Be yourself. Be authentic. Be real. It's okay to mess up. You don't need to have a perfect video. You don't need to have a perfect social media account—just engage with your customers.” “When you're looking to hire somebody, hire someone with expertise in that area. Even if they only know 70% of what you know, that's fine; you can train them the rest of the way. But if you can find someone who's much higher than that, do that.” “Tears are both cathartic and healing, but they often unsettle people. I used to feel that way too, but now I see them as revealing a person's true self. A smile can hide so much, but tears bring out the realness.” “There are barriers between people all the time. Some are real, some are imagined. But there's something about sharing tears with another person—those barriers get knocked down, and then you're just two people together, sharing a moment.” “I think people are afraid of crying. I think they're afraid it makes them look weak. But it's actually the opposite.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.alisonmaycommunications.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/alison-maloni-374aba8/  https://www.instagram.com/alisonmaloni/  https://www.instagram.com/alisonmaycommunications/  https://www.facebook.com/alisonmaypr  https://www.facebook.com/AlisonMaloniTV/  Breaking in the News: Building Buzz for Your Brand (https://a.co/d/3uyqg7W) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Over the last few years, at least since 2020, in the marketing and communications professions, remote work has become more of the norm than the exception. Connections between and among co-workers remain predominantly digital or virtual, and so many of us fitted out our home offices with comfy ergonomic chairs, standing desks, recording gear, balance boards, and all kinds of tchotchkes. Then, when the economy started to turn, and our jobs started to disappear, we figured, well, we've got the home setup, we've got the years of remote work experience, so starting our own "thing" wouldn't be so scary. But as it turns out, being alone can get pretty lonely. We benefit tremendously from interacting with peers and feeling like someone's got our back. We want people we can reach out to for information, mentorship, and support. It sounds like we want - and maybe need - community. Is community the future of work? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with strategic communications and PR consultant-turned-entrepreneur Ashley Dennison, the founder and CEO of CommsConsultants.com, to discuss the changing landscape of communications consulting and the power of community in the age of AI. Join Dan and Ashley as they navigate the world of independent communications consulting, examining the challenges and opportunities that come with this career path. From the loneliness of solo entrepreneurship to the strength found in professional communities, this episode offers a candid look at the realities of modern consulting work. Ashley shares her journey in creating CommsConsultants.com, a global directory of pre-vetted communications and marketing consultants. The conversation touches on the importance of specialization, admitting what you don't know, and the critical role of building relationships in the consulting world. The episode dives into the impact of AI on the communications industry, discussing the scramble to understand and adopt new technologies. Ashley and Dan examine the readiness of consultants to meet future challenges and the need for continuous learning in a rapidly changing field. A key focus of the discussion is the ongoing struggle to position strategic communications as a business imperative. Ashley offers a thought-provoking call to action for communications professionals to unite and demonstrate their value to C-suite executives. Whether you're a seasoned consultant or considering the leap into independent work, this episode provides valuable insights into the future of communications consulting. Don't miss this engaging conversation about community, technology, and the evolving nature of strategic communications. Listen in and hear about... Community as the future of work for communications consultants Challenges and opportunities in the evolving landscape of independent consulting The power of authenticity and imperfection in professional communication Balancing AI adoption with core communication skills in the consulting world Strategies for positioning oneself as a valuable resource in a competitive market The ongoing struggle to establish strategic communications as a business imperative Adapting to change and embracing curiosity in the face of technological advancements Notable Quotes On the Value of Consultants: "How could you possibly ever be short of client volume when there are so many opportunities out there?" - Ashley Dennison [04:14 → 04:21] On Networking and Karma: "I totally do that. And I am always 100% sure that at some point in the future, right, there will be a... I'm not gonna say a reward, right. But I will say that there will, there will be a, A karmic sense of goodness happening from that." - Dan Nestle [53:09 → 53:27] The Importance of Specialization: "If you want to commit to your path of specialty, where you truly are an expert, you have to at the same time be willing to say, and all of these other areas are not my expertise, but I know people who can do those things for you. Let me connect you." - Ashley Dennison [56:38 → 56:51] On the Future of Communications: "Until we come forward with a solution to that problem and we all stand behind it, I think that our, our profession and our value and our voice is going to shrink and shrink and shrink. Not to end on a sad note, but that's the call to action I would like to leave people with." - Ashley Dennison [1:11:09 → 1:11:33] The Indispensability of Communications Consultants: "The necessity, the indispensability of advisors, of trusted advisors who are courageous and who are able to put it, put connect dots, put everything together and convey, nay, communicate the ideas that will move and propel a business forward are absolutely golden for the future." - Dan Nestle [1:11:33 → 1:11:55] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Ashley Dennison Ashley Dennison | LinkedIn CommsConsultants Website Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

I'm excited to share this conversation with Will McCollum and Matthew Marshall, the passionate minds behind Citymakers Collective. This summer, they're hosting a transformative two-week program in Charleston, featuring some of the top practitioners in the New Urbanism and human-centered design movements.  Their approach is holistic, hands-on, and experiential, with a mission to equip the next generation of city makers to design and build places that are resilient, beautiful, and centered on people. In this episode, we delve into the challenges of traditional education, what's missing, and why they felt compelled to create this innovative summer program. If you're a young professional or student working in the built environment—whether you're an architect, planner, builder, developer, engineer or something else—I highly encourage you to check it out and consider applying. Learn more at: citymakerscollective.org TAKEAWAYS The City Makers Collective program teaches principles that make cities more livable, sustainable, and people-focused. Participants engage with Charleston's urban fabric through walking tours, real-world case studies, and collaborative studio projects. The program blends timeless design principles with modern needs to create places that work for today's challenges. Architects, planners, developers, and more come together to foster holistic learning and solutions. Students learn how to navigate market realities, collaborate effectively, and implement sustainable practices in urban design.
