Progetti come Energiesprong hanno fatto scuola in Europa dimostrando che, almeno per certe classi di edifici, è possibile ristrutturare per mezzo di componenti di involucro prefabbricati, assemblati in uno stabilimento e installati in cantiere. Certo si tratta di un processo edilizio radicalmente nuovo e fortemente digitalizzato, perciò non facile da digerire, ma che offre diversi vantaggi, quali prestazioni certificabili, costi più certi e cantieri molto più brevi. Paesi come la Germania e la Spagna si stanno muovendo rapidamente in questa direzione. E l’Italia?Ospiti Thomas Miorin, CEO di EDERA, e Sergio Anzelini, Pres. di ITEA

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, this is week three, part three of our optimizing your content and your marketing for AI. You know, people call it SEO for AI and a variety of tongue twisting acronyms. This week we’re talking about off site, which I feel like is probably the most accessible for folks because it’s the least technical and it is very familiar ground. Off site AI optimization is essentially how can you be in as many places as possible as often as possible so that your name, your brand, and your content are duplicated as many places as AI crawlers grab their data from to build a training dataset library. So Katie, when we talk about going out into the world, what comes to mind for you for making that work and for being as many places as you possibly can be? Katie Robbert – 00:58 You know, it’s funny because you just said something to the effect of it’s the most accessible or it’s the easiest. And I disagree because I feel like it’s the one that’s the least in your control. So, you know, when we talk about off site, we’re talking about getting on lists and guest posts and other people mentioning you. And it’s not enough to just post about yourself on LinkedIn a couple of times a day. Sure, that’s part of it, but that it’s much more than that. And so, when I think about off site, I still think, okay, number one, I still have to have really good content, which is where we started this series that’s useful and appeals to my audience. So you can’t skip that step and suddenly just say, you know what? Katie Robbert – 01:54 I’m gonna get on a bunch of who’s who lists or top 10 lists or whatever, because without that content as your foundation, people don’t know who you are. So I don’t know. I understand what you’re saying. Where it’s the most familiar, maybe the most approachable. I disagree with that. I feel like it’s actually harder than writing your own content because you still have to have that content, but then you have to convince other people that they have to then include your content in their stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 02:32 Okay. I think I was approaching it from the perspective of it requires the least technical knowledge. Katie Robbert – 02:37 Oh, well, sure. Christopher S. Penn – 02:39 Oh, it looks like public relations, which is in fact what it is. It is all about public relations—public relations, media relations, influencer marketing, influencer relations, and so on and so forth at relations to pretty much anything. That’s where this is in terms of what you do. So what you would do is, you know, Katie, we’d try to go out and pitch you as a thought leader in your field and get as many people to cover you as possible. Our friend Nicole Besthard says the trouble with pitching people as thought leaders is they first have to have thoughts that people want to hear. Katie Robbert – 03:18 It’s. But that’s my point is, like, I mean, it’s not just us. How many people get those spammy emails, like, oh, I loved your article about how to churn butter. My CEO would be great for your content if you just want to add this link, like 10 times out of 10, someone’s just pitching because there was some kind of a form or contact link on your website. It doesn’t matter if it matches or not, because they’re hoping that if I pitch a hundred publications or websites, that at least one or two will say yes. Like, to me, that’s not fun, that’s not easy work. And it feels very inconsiderate of the person pitching that they didn’t even bother to do the research to see if it was a good fit. Christopher S. Penn – 04:17 Yep. What’s different for the AI era, it kind of turns PR strategy on its head a bit. In the old days, and you and I did our time the salt lines at a PR firm, we always had people saying, oh, we need to be in tier one publications, we need to be in The New York Times, we need to be in The Wall Street Journal. And what’s kind of amusing about that is that many of those tier one publications have actively blocked AI crawlers from accessing the content—The New York Times in particular—which means that if you go to a search tool like ChatGPT with search enabled, guess who’s not in the results? The New York Times. Which means that if you’re out there pitching The New York Times, you’re not going to be included in that data set. Christopher S. Penn – 04:56 Whereas today, what we would advocate to people is as long as it’s not inappropriate for your business, like The East Peoria Evening News, totally fine. Right? It doesn’t matter that it’s not a huge publication being on Katie Robbert’s personal blog at katierobert.com, totally fine. Even if she’s only got two readers. It’s the machines we’re trying to get content into, not the humans. Katie Robbert – 05:22 So I guess let’s back up a little bit. So how in this modern age off site SEO, you just mentioned The New York Times for example, how does your average marketer get an understanding of what publications are and are not being picked up by generative AI models? Is there a place where they can go to say, okay, The New York Times is out. You know, Boston Globe is in, East Peoria Times is in, but The West Peoria Times is out. Christopher S. Penn – 05:58 One of the easiest things to do is to fire up the deep research tool of the AI of your choice. So this would be things like Deep Seeks web search. This be Grok’s deeper search, Gemini’s deep research, OpenAI’s deep research, Anthropic Claude’s Web Search, and ask not necessarily about you, but to say, for the management consulting industry, which is where Trust Insights operates, who are the top leaders in management consulting for AI? And when what you’re looking for is not the summary, ignore the summary. You’re looking at the sources list because all the deep research tools publish a list of where they got their information. And that is a great starting place to see what are the blogs, what are the forums, where did this tool get its information? And you want to put as few restrictions on it as possible. Christopher S. Penn – 06:50 In fact, you want to give it a very naive prompt like, what are some great websites to read AI news about and see what it comes up with? Because that tells you where the models are grounding their results. And they’re almost all using traditional search from that. So that is a great first step to say, okay, what does the model know about in terms of data sources? And then you and your PR team, your agency, maybe your virtual PR GPT that you put together, whatever the thing is, would look at that list and say, where could we realistically get placed? If you see, oh, it looks like marketingprofs.com is on there, great. Do they accept guest posts? How would you go about figuring that you see The Wall Street Journal? Christopher S. Penn – 07:37 Like, I know, pretty sure that’s going to require a heck of a lot of work. And in the world of AI, all text is equal. So a piece in The Wall Street Journal and a piece on Christopher Penn’s blog have the same weight in a model in terms of their value. If it’s a lot easier to get out of Christopher Penn’s blog than is The Wall Street Journal, spend your time getting onto Christopher Penn’s blog. Katie Robbert – 08:00 So this brings up an interesting question that, you know, a lot of, you know, this was something that I learned about when I started working with you a million years ago at the PR firm was something called Domain Authority. So where does domain—so Domain Authority. My understanding is, you know, the higher the domain authority number on a scale of what, 1 to 100, the more legit, for lack of a scientific term, the website is. So for example, you know, The East Peoria News might have a high domain authority because they just reported report on specific things versus like a BuzzFeed which has like a lot of eyeballs, but their content is crap. Katie Robbert – 08:49 Can you give like a quick, not overly technical explanation of number one, how I got domain authority wrong and what it actually is, but where it fits in to generative AI search? Because that was a big deal for off site SEO for a long time. Christopher S. Penn – 09:08 If I say the word actually, you’re going to slap me. Katie Robbert – 09:10 Yeah, pretty much so. Christopher S. Penn – 09:14 Domain authority is an invented metric. It was first invented by Moz way back in the day and pretty much every SEO tool has their own version and is their best estimate of the probability that your domain will come up in a search. Like if you are searching for management consulting firms, your domain authority would be ours would probably be like 20 and McKinsey would be like 100% of the time he’s going to show up. That was a general idea back then. Domain authority is an estimate because no one could see into Google’s algorithms. No one had any idea what was in the box. So as people’s best guesses based on essentially submitting a lot of searches to Google and then trying to guess how, why does site keep coming up that in AI search is much less relevant? Christopher S. Penn – 10:01 Because AI search has two major components. One is the model’s latent knowledge itself based on the training data that has been trained on and that is all about tonnage. How many mentions of Trust Insights can we get across the web in any source, doesn’t matter where. And then the second is search grounding, which is when you’re using tools that have search grounding enabled, they will verify the knowledge that they’ve come up with from the model with traditional search results. And so domain authority would still have kind of sort of a little bit of usefulness on the grounding portion. Obviously if you show up in traditional search, then for tools that use search grounding, they will be more likely to validate, but they first have to have the idea that you exist from the model itself. Christopher S. Penn – 10:49 So if you want long term staying power, you won’t need to be in the model’s training data. And then if you want to be credible to that, you have to also be in the search grounding. So that when the model says hey, Trust Insights is a really good management consulting company. Let me go check my search results. Yep, Trust Insights is in there. Trust Insights is credible, so you kind of need both. Katie Robbert – 11:10 Okay, so where do—so one of the ways which we typically do our homework, our research on how to approach our off site SEO, our traditional SEO tools such as an AHREFS or SEMrush, where do those tools fit in? Like, what should we be looking for in like an ahrefs in order to figure out. I want to be so—okay, let me back up a little bit. If my user story is as the CMO, I want Trust Insights to heavily appear in OpenAI’s model for search results so that people will hire us. What do I need to do? What do I need to look for in something like an href? So if that’s how I traditionally do my research to figure out my off site strategy. Christopher S. Penn – 12:07 That is. So traditional SEO tools will not help you very much with getting into the model’s training data because it’s just so vast. That’s again more about tonnage. How can you get placed as many places as possible? And we have a whole bag of tricks that we advise clients on that, one of which is a, you want to be on YouTube and B, you want to be on as many podcasts as you possibly can. And when you’re guesting on those podcasts, make sure that you mention your company name as often as you can in relevance. If you hear me on a lot of guest shows, it’ll sound kind of egotistical and obnoxious like, well, I Trust Insights. We do, but it gets it into the transcripts. Where these SEO tools will help is on the traditional search stuff that you still have to maintain. Christopher S. Penn – 12:56 So you would still go into—for example, the AHREFS has its batch comparison analysis tool where you would say, here’s Trust Insights, here’s five competitors. Where do sites, these other site, these five compares, where do they get links where Trust Insights is not getting links? And then you look at the list. Now here’s the flip again. People are still fixated on domain authority, domain score, et cetera, go down to the bottom of the list. As long as it’s not absolute garbage, like you know, someone’s pills, porn, casino site, as long as not absolute garbage. Those sites that are at the bottom of the list, the small blogs, the small podcasts, you’re gonna have a much easier time getting on those. And from a generative AI perspective, they’re just as credible for just getting more of you out there. Katie Robbert – 13:42 Interesting. So that is, you know, for those who want to call me Captain Obvious, that is the reverse strategy that we’ve typically taken because we’ve always looked for highest domain authority, most credible, best in class. And now we’re saying it doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t completely conflicting of your mission and values. Get yourself on there. It doesn’t matter. To your point, if I want to mention Chris Penn on katierobert.com then you’re like, great, I’m winning because I—that’s one more place where I’m at. Even though there’s only one visitor a month to katirobert.com you’re still there. Christopher S. Penn – 14:33 I’m still there. And critically, I’m still there when the AI crawlers stop by and start ingesting your content. We have seen in the news headlines there’s a big scandal over the weekend. Meta gotten a whole bunch of hot water for using the Live Gen database as part of their training data for the Llama models, which Live Gen is a—a huge repository of pretty much every book and publication and academic paper ever published, pirated by enterprising folks in other nations and that don’t have access to Reed Elsevier or Amazon, whatever. So this is huge corpus of pirated text that they didn’t pay for that was used illicitly. But it speaks to the—it speaks to the absolute hunger that AI model makers have for any valid text. Christopher S. Penn – 15:29 So if you can be anywhere, as long as it’s crawlable and it’s available, be everywhere. Be as many places as you can be. Go for those placements that traditional executives would have looked down like, oh, what? Why am I in, you know, Framingham Patch? That’s not going to help our business. Well, now it will. Katie Robbert – 15:53 Well, it doesn’t help if you’re in the Framingham Patch on the police blotter. That certainly does not help anything. Christopher S. Penn – 16:03 No, it does not. Katie Robbert – 16:04 But excuse me, it is going to be really interesting because it’s a whole re education of essentially how PR for the AI age is going to work. And I think that there’s definitely some folks in that space who already understand it, who already get it. But at least in my admittedly limited experience in the PR industry, it’s well behind modern technologies, modern techniques. If you think of that innovation bell curve, they’re sort of, they’re on the laggard side versus the early adopter side. And so I feel like that’s going to be a struggle because it’s the exact opposite of everything that PRofessionals were taught in terms of pitching and coverage and outreach and you know, all those things because now it doesn’t matter. You would think it would be, oh, this makes my job so much easier. Katie Robbert – 17:07 But you first have to unlearn all those things that you have been drilled into your head in terms of what makes good coverage. Not only that, but they then have to communicate to their clients why getting coverage secured in the Framingham Patch is a good thing and not just a waste of time and money. I just, I feel for them. I, oh, that’s a nightmare. Christopher S. Penn – 17:34 One of the biggest secrets, it’s not really a secret, but it’s something that we talk about in our Generative AI for Marketers course and in our keynotes and things like that, is the good old fashioned news release or the old fashioned press release that you put online that has no SEO value. None. It hasn’t had SEO value for 15 years. It does have AI value and the reason is when you put up a news release on a wire service, on a credible wire service, and I believe I’m actually doing a talk with our friends over at Notified about this not too long from now. When you put something on the wire, it gets replicated thousands of times in the back end. Christopher S. Penn – 18:19 If local news outlets were convenience stores, this would be back behind the baked beans in the far corner of the store. No one goes there, but it’s still there. And that many multiple copies of your information, as long as you structure the press release correctly, which is a whole other topic, it benefits you substantially. So that 99 dollars you plopped down for the wire service release, no human’s going to read it. Don’t expect any traffic from it. Expect zero views. You will, if you are doing traditional PR reporting, it will still look embarrassing, but from an AI perspective, you’re going to look at the 500 copies of your news release and go, we won. We’ve gotten 500 copies of our top language that we need models to learn out for in the world for 99 bucks. Katie Robbert – 19:10 I feel like this still falls under the re education bucket. So, you know, I’ve seen these AI structured press releases and they look similar to a regular press release, but the language is different enough that you’re like, were you struggling with spelling and grammar when you wrote this? Like, this is incoherent. So what is that? How do you explain that? So let’s say, you know, I’m the executive and I say I want to see the press release before it goes out. And then you hand me this AI version of a press release and I, you know, mark it up, red pen, all that sort of stuff, and say, this is incoherent. We can’t send this out. This is embarrassing. Like, that’s a really hard challenge to overcome because it is that re education because you’re sitting there saying, it’s not for you. Katie Robbert – 20:04 And the executive is saying, but I have to approve it. And I can’t approve this. I can’t read it. Like, this is a whole topic that we need to explore in terms of change management. Christopher S. Penn – 20:17 It is. And in some ways it would be the same as that executive trying to inspect Python code. Like, you’re like, you know what? This is not your area specialty. So let’s loop in someone whose special area specialty is to explain to you why this is okay and why it really doesn’t even fall under your purview. Yes, it is. It looks like a press release, it’s press release shaped, but it is not for humans. Katie Robbert – 20:41 Let me ask you this question, and I don’t expect a serious response, but how often, how well does it go when you say to an executive, this is not your area of expertise. Let’s find someone who’s smarter than you. Zero out of 10 times zero. This is. But that’s my point is it’s called a press release. It’s press release shaped. So the person who is used to approving, editing and approving press releases is now being told, this is not your area of expertise. I don’t see that conversation going well. Christopher S. Penn – 21:19 And that’s where I look to you as an expert in change management and organizational behavior, to say, how do we message this to an executive who, as you said, is already a laggard in technology to explain to them, this is not a press release for humans? Katie Robbert – 21:34 I mean, honestly, first and foremost, I’d probably not call it a press release because I think that in and of itself there’s already expectations with the word press release. So if you’re saying it’s a press release, but not—don’t call it a. Christopher S. Penn – 21:47 Press release, I believe you just coined your term, Katie, the AI release. Katie Robbert – 21:52 Call it an AI release because then honest. But honestly, because, like, if you come to me and say, I have a press release, but you’re—but you’ll never be able to understand it. I’m going to be really uppity and offended and, you know, I’m going to throw—throw all the things that are in your way to prevent this from happening until I get it. If you call it an AI release, I’m like, oh, well, I’m not the AI person. I want to understand it, but I probably never will. But that’s not my wheelhouse. That’s not my circus, not my monkeys. Let me go ahead and pass that off. But if it’s a press release, then I absolutely need to micromanage it. Christopher S. Penn – 22:29 Yep, exactly. So I think that answers that question to a degree. Is to—to rebrand it as something else. This is an AI release. This is an AI wire for AI. Katie Robbert – 22:40 And I think that, you know, it’s not the flashiest of names, but I think that it’s appropriately named and that is going to help start that education process of if it’s an AI release for AI, then I don’t have to be the human who understands it because it’s not for me in the first place. Christopher S. Penn – 23:01 Exactly. The other thing that we really recommend, folks, take a good hard look at is syndication, particularly if you are. If you have the opportunity to work with other outlets in other languages. So I’ll give you an example of an acquaintance reached out over the weekend to say, hey, can we make a copy of the almost timely newsletter in Melee? And I’m like, as long as you don’t edit it and you just do the translation of it into—into the Melee language. Yeah, go, go for it, please do. You just have to keep it intact because all my links to my stuff are in there. You know, I want people to go into the Trust Insights courses and stuff. You got to keep my ads. Right. Christopher S. Penn – 23:48 But in doing so, if other people are replicating my content in different languages than when other model makers. So, for example, oh, gosh, what’s the name of the Sea lion? The Sea lion model is a model put together out of a company in Singapore that is structured as a language model for Southeast Asian languages, hence the name Sea Lion—so Malay, Tagalog, Filipino, Thai, etc. Again, we want our data to be finding its way into—into these other models, especially as AI grows and you get more adoption that have localized AI you want to. If you want business in those parts of the world, then you absolutely want to have your content in those publications in those languages. Because someone said on LinkedIn, don’t bother translating your stuff. Language models are perfectly capable of doing that you can just publish in English. Christopher S. Penn – 24:47 Well, that’s a very Eurocentric point of view. But also, language is structured differently. It’s a different language. English is subject, verb, object. Right. There are some languages that are object, subject, verb, like I believe, Gaelic. That if people remember how Transformers work, which you can find in our course, Mastering Prompt Engineering for Marketers, the order of words matters to how prompts function a model. So if you translate into Gaelic properly and it is in that structure, your brand names and titles and how you relate to concepts is going to be different in Gaelic than it is in English. So you absolutely should be publishing in any language where you have an audience or where, you know, big model makers are making the models, like China, for example. Katie Robbert – 25:40 Well, I even think back to my sophomore year of Spanish. The way in which the Spanish language works is that it assigns genders. When you’re conjugating verbs, you have to think about, well, is it, does it end in O? Does it end in a? Yes, like what’s the gender? Even if it’s an inanimate object? You know, and then I also think about a lot of Asian languages. So, you know, in English we go left to right, Asian languages go right to left. And so just the physical structure is different. You know, forget the word order, it’s physically structured, different. And so call me a control freak, I’m totally fine with that. I don’t want an AI model to just go ahead and willy nilly translate for me. I want to have control over the translation. Katie Robbert – 26:33 I was telling a translation story on our livestream last week and how it can go, you know, really wrong. I want to still have that human intervention to say, yes, the model has translated, but I have built in the checks and balances. So for your example, someone wanted to translate your newsletter. Your goal is to keep intact certain tagging and tracking and URLs. You as the human still have to do that QA, that intervention, to say, yes, this is correct. Okay, now it’s ready for public consumption. Christopher S. Penn – 27:07 Exactly. But from the perspective off site SEO for AI, you do want to be doing stuff in the languages of your audience. So go into your Google Analytics as we showed on the live stream, and see what languages you should be targeting. Plus make stuff for the languages of the major model makers in the regions you care about. So you, if you are a French company, you need an English language model. Right. If you look at Mistral has a strong English language capability, even though it’s made in France. You need a strong Chinese language capability because just this morning Deep Seek came out with a new version of its model and they’ve got a deep seq R2 on the way that apparently is terrifyingly good. Guess where Deep Seq gets its information from? From the Internet. Christopher S. Penn – 27:54 And guess what language is particularly good at Chinese, right? So if you are not putting your stuff in multiple languages for model makers to ingest and understand in their language what your company is about, then if this model gets adopted, and that’s kind of the goal of Deep Seq, right, is to they give it away for free so that many places adopt it, you had better be in there. And if you’re not, you are in. You’re not going to perform as well as a competitor who is. So to wrap up off site is all about stuff that you do outside of the walls of your company, outside of the walls of your website. It is technologically the least complicated, but it is arguably the most labor because it requires you to show up and pitch good old fashioned PR. Christopher S. Penn – 28:45 And if your PR firm is not up to date on modern practices, this would be a great time to perhaps educate them. Feel free to share this episode with them and if they are intransigent, maybe it’s time to switch out for a different firm.

B2B business development has become increasingly complex, with companies finding it harder than ever to drive growth. One of the biggest challenges? Many organizations have shifted their investments down the funnel—hiring more sales and BDR resources—while pulling back on marketing. Yet, buyer behavior has evolved in the opposite direction. Today, buyers are forming their shortlists and making decisions before ever speaking to a sales rep. This means if your brand isn't investing in marketing, you're not even making it into their consideration set. To grow revenue, companies must excel across four critical stages: ✅Awareness: They must have heard of you ✅Affinity: They must like you and believe you can solve their challenges ✅In-Market: They must be ready to buy ✅Engagement: Then they talk to your sales team, who still needs to beat the competition and win the deal At RBMA: Revenue Based Marketing Advisors, we help businesses scale growth effectively and efficiently.

We had an amazing trip to the High Point Market and are excited to share the latest and greatest trends regarding lifestyle, colors, furnishings, wood finishes, fabric and lighting. There were some very distinct trends that we saw at this market more than previous ones, with quiet luxury, sustainable materials, escapism and customization. We'll share the products we saw, the educational and social events we attended and tell you about our Insider's Tour. Key Takeaways Vacation Inspired lifestyles - from coastal and mountain homes to speakeasy style spaces, the market had several designs that bring the feel of second homes, lake houses and retreats into every day life. Earth tone colors like cinnamon, apricot, smoky blue and sage green marked a shift away from neutral whites and a move towards a warmer palette. One big lighting trend is rechargeable options in picture lights and tabletop lamps making it easy to place them anywhere. Pleated and fabric lampshades are also back in style, a classic look we haven't seen in several years.

A key in making this adjustment is to align your passion and purpose with your projects. The Allens are veterans of serving Apartment Life by living “Onsite” in communities. They share their new focus of bringing the same great events by using Apartment Life's “Offsite” model. They share the advantages of both models of building community for residents.

Special Announcement - This week, I am doing something different, as I am releasing my first vlog on my brand new YouTube Channel I just launched! Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxMIrbe7_q_pBEIgArPG1g Join me this week as I take you along on a journey from the East Coast to the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Tahoe for our company's West Coast retreat. This trip brought incredible experiences, team bonding, and moments that deepened our connections far beyond the virtual walls of our remote work. That first night was a chance to unwind, play games like Cornhole and billiards, and enjoy a great meal together. The following day was full of insightful presentations, starting with our Founder & CEO Tod, and a deep dive into Pipedream Connect led by our Product team. A hike up the mountains of Lake Tahoe followed, with stunning views and memorable conversations that underscored the unique value of being together in person. Our final day capped off with “Hax Day,” where teams worked to solve prioritized ideas pitched by our colleagues. I even interviewed our Product Manager, Danny Roosevelt, on Pipedream Connect. A quick trip to downtown Truckee with our Head of Revenue, Danny Archer, led to an some fly-fishing, and some awesome pictures by the river. Reflecting on the trip during the long journey home, I realized how much stronger we'd become as a team—not just in our skills but in our connections. From hikes and hands-on projects to sharing meals and stories, this retreat was the perfect reminder of what we can achieve together.

This is episode 3 of 6 in a Deep Dive Series on the Housing Innovation Alliance! If you hear any background noise, that's because this episode was recorded LIVE at the HIA Conference 2024 at the University of Denver! “So if I can summarize what we do, or what we're trying to aspire to do, is make offsite construction so easy a caveman could do it.” In this conversation, Devon Tilly chats with Garrett Moore of Agorus. In football, as in life, the most important person on the field is often the least noticed – the left tackle: he protects the quarterback's blind side.” As a quarterback at Stanford University, this simple lesson laid the early foundation for Garrett's servant-leadership philosophy: “It's the people you work with every day who determine your ability to make an impact”. After achieving a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford, and despite an early desire to jump right into a Silicon Valley start-up after graduation, Garrett's passion to serve led him to San Diego to become an officer in the Navy SEALs. During this time, he was also selected to become an Olmsted Scholar (similar to a Rhodes Scholarship). After learning Hebrew from scratch, he earned his master's degree in Cybersecurity at Tel Aviv University…in Hebrew! Living there in Startup Nation, he learned another critical lesson, “Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world.” You might see two common denominators in these life shaping experiences – a love of high performing teams and fearlessness in the face of challenges. Garrett and his co-founder Kyle run headlong into the fray when most would hesitate. “If a problem is too hard for everyone else, it's probably just right for us”. And for that reason, he is wholly committed to solving America's elusive housing crisis. Garrett is married to his childhood sweetheart and loves to spend time with his family. It's no surprise that he's also an extreme sports guy, snowboarding, mountain biking and e-foiling whenever he can. By the way, don't ever get suckered into a ping pong game with him. It won't go well for you.

This week, in episode 206, Shawn Busse, Jay Goltz, and Jennifer Kerhin talk about what it takes to plan and execute an employee retreat—especially in our post-Covid, more-remote environment. Do you go offsite? Do you take everybody? Do you delegate the planning? Do you try to measure the ROI? Jennifer tells us about the interesting responses she got when she encouraged her employees at her retreat to ask her anything. Shawn explains why he let his leadership team do the planning—and didn't set a budget. Jay, meanwhile, offers a slightly different perspective: “My company retreat,” he tells us, “is I cut back on my advertising. That's my retreat.” Plus: How well does The E-Myth hold up as a playbook for business owners? Is it still relevant? Or was it written for a type of business that is far less prevalent today? And Jay tells us what he thinks of Wayfair opening a massive brick-and-mortar furniture store right down the expressway from his furniture store.

Insight Global is a staffing company dedicated to empowering people. Please CLICK HERE for premier staffing and talent. Rejection is a learned skill. Tara has gone through rejection therapy. Go out and ask for something crazy big. Get comfortable with being rejected. Hearing the word no. Go big. Confidence is about keeping promises to yourself. Create evidence for yourself. Create magical moments for the people you're leading. Show them how much you care for them. The small touches are a big deal. The magic is in the small details. How to have fun at your company: Fun (and culture) cannot be outsourced. You cannot delegate “culture carriers." You (the leader) are the ultimate culture carrier. It has to come from you. "Ask for money, get advice. Ask for advice, get money." "If it's too easy, you get soft." It's important to set high expectations for the people you're leading. "The boss I respected the most was a hard ass and very demanding." The difference between nice and kind: Nice = Soft, easy. Kind = Set high expectations. Hold you accountable to them. You're better long-term being kind. Tara's "must-haves" when hiring a leader: Raw intelligence - How quickly can you learn? Must be a clear and critical thinker. Fantastic communicator Intensity, drive, hunger Sense of humor - Need to be able to laugh and have fun. Values: Business owner Kid at heart Design thinking - Craft for the end-user Peak performance Be human Keys to a great off-site retreat Craft for the people High energy Sense of connection - get to know each other Peak performance workbook - set goals Small touches - personalized gifts for the team (like picture frames with personalized pictures in them) Create magical moments to connect Focus on the arrival - make it special Eliminate loneliness - Assigned seats, name tags, conversation prompts (especially helps introverts) Tara worked at LuluLemon while in grad school at Stanford. It was a useful learning experience for her. She worked for a world-class manager. What Tara learned from her parents: Leadership is about modeling the right behaviors. Advice - "If you want to be extraordinary, you can't fit in." "Give way more than everybody else." "Follow great people and be around greatness." Tara created a 50-slide PowerPoint while going for a role as a part-time content writer. Going above and beyond for that leader left an impression and that woman who Tara impressed remains a mentor, investor, and friend to this day more than a decade later. You never know what will happen if you consistently over-deliver for people.
