I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I explore the critical role of signature dishes in restaurant marketing. I share why effective marketing is less about offering a large menu and more about creating standout items that truly resonate with guests. I walk through strategies for identifying, crafting, and promoting a signature dish so it becomes a magnet that draws customers in and keeps them coming back. I also highlight the importance of consistency in execution and show how building a brand story around that dish can strengthen engagement and loyalty. Takeaways:Most restaurant marketing fails because it's built on guesswork.Menus don't go viral. Heroes do.Create the thing the guests dream about.People don't remember lists, they remember legends.Your signature item sets expectations.Rituals turn signatures into traditions.It's a magnet and it functions like one.Give it an iconic name and a one-sentence story.In today's competitive landscape, it just isn't enough.If this conversation made you realize the gourmet you need to magnet.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Full Comp and Restaurant Marketing01:44 The Importance of a Signature Dish05:38 Operationalizing and Ritualizing Your Signature ItemIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

Firms that only grew with the tide find themselves struggling when growth slows.13:10 – 14:16 – Positioning as an Operational Issue: Positioning cannot be treated as surface-level messaging; it must be reflected in delivery, hiring, onboarding, and overall business design.15:13 – 17:29 – Three Levels of Differentiation: Mike outlines functional, intellectual property (frameworks, tools, methodologies), and promotional differentiation as the three vectors agencies must align.19:00 – 20:13 – The Category Dilemma: Agencies often struggle between fitting into known categories, which brings competition, or creating new ones, which increases client risk and education costs.22:23 – 24:03 – Functional vs. IP Positioning: Mike advocates anchoring to existing categories functionally while differentiating through intellectual property and go-to-market messaging.26:30 – 27:49 – Starting with Ideal Client Profile (ICP): Effective positioning begins with deeply defining the ICP beyond titles and industries, including attributes like stage, structure, and challenges.30:26 – 36:23 – The Risk Perception Matrix: Mike introduces his framework with two axes—personal vs. organizational risk and internal skepticism vs. external questioning—to explain how agencies can derisk buying decisions at every stage.Show NotesConnect with Mike via LinkedInNewsletter: Proofpoint.marketingRisk Perception MatrixLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

In this hard-hitting episode, they dismantle the false sense of OT security. They explore why million-dollar cybersecurity tool investments aren't fully utilized, and expose the costly disconnect between corporate IT, plant-floor teams, and third-party vendors.

In this episode of the Earley AI Podcast, host Seth Earley welcomes Charlie Betz, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research. With an extensive background in digital operating models, enterprise architecture, and the future of work, Charlie brings a systems thinking approach to how digital initiatives are planned, governed, and scaled. As a leading expert covering a $250 billion segment of the global IT market—including vendors like ServiceNow, Atlassian, and Dynatrace—Charlie provides invaluable perspective for technology and business leaders facing the complexities of AI enablement and digital operations in large organizations.Together, Seth and Charlie dive deep past buzzwords to uncover practical, actionable insights about harnessing AI, operationalizing feedback loops, and navigating legacy technical debt. Charlie shares his real-world experiences wrangling with generative AI tools—including building systems with Anthropic's Claude as a "junior developer"—and distills lessons for executives on aligning business needs with technological advancements.Key Takeaways:How AI, particularly generative models like Claude, has moved from simple code autocompletion to accelerating the development of full-fledged applications—and the challenges and opportunities this creates for non-developers and professionals alike.The architecture of the $250 billion IT control plane market, including IT Service Management (ITSM), AIOps, and the massive influence these domains have on enterprise performance and boardroom-level decision-making.Why the ultimate business value of AI lies in accelerating feedback loops and continuous learning, not just automation or chatbot deployments.Lessons from continuous improvement (lean, Deming cycles, etc.) and why previous attempts struggled at scale—plus how modern AI may finally make the learning organization a reality.The importance of architectural governance, data stewardship, and feedback loop closure in successful AI integration—plus concrete calls to action for executives and enterprise architects.A nuanced discussion of legacy systems and technical debt: why simply layering new technology on top of old can lead to "technical bankruptcy," and practical strategies for managing (and paying down) technical debt before it becomes existential.Cutting through the hype around AI agents and swarms: separating realistic enterprise use cases from risk-laden hype, and the current limitations and essential guardrails needed for safe, effective agentic operations.Insightful Quote from the Episode:"If you held my feet to the fire and you told me, 'Charlie, there's only one point,' I would say look for the feedback loop... What AI is enabling is essentially a faster feedback loop than we've ever had before in industry. And this is where the old becomes new."– Charlie BetzTune in for an unvarnished, deeply practical conversation on making AI real in complex enterprise environments—packed with tangible guidance no matter where you are on your digital transformation journey.Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlestbetz/Website: https://www.forrester.comThanks to our sponsors: VKTR Earley Information Science AI Powered Enterprise Book

Workplace performance isn't just L&D's responsibility; it belongs to the whole company. And yet, many HR and learning teams still treat training as a standalone solution. In this episode, Kevin Yates joins Karina Young to reframe how we think about impact, and why the question isn't just “Did people complete the program?” but “Did anything change as a result?” Kevin, known across the industry as the “L&D Detective,” shares what he's learned from nearly 30 years in the field and why measuring outcomes requires more than a survey or LMS report. He explains how to shift from reporting activity to proving contribution, and why L&D must be embedded in a broader performance ecosystem to make a meaningful difference. Together, they explore what most organizations overlook: how business goals get lost in translation, how legacy habits still shape how programs are designed, and how measurement can become a strategic advantage, not just a reporting requirement. Kevin also offers a practical lens for partnering across functions and building internal alignment around shared outcomes. For HR and L&D leaders navigating increasing pressure to deliver results, it's a timely reminder: meaningful change doesn't happen in a vacuum. It takes a village. Join us as we discuss: (00:00) Meet HR Superstar: Kevin Yates (02:38) How the L&D Detective name came about (04:37) Discovering the passion for measurement in L&D (07:47) Aligning training with business goals (09:31) Breaking legacy habits in L&D practices (10:56) Shifting from order-taker to performance consultant (12:56) The workplace performance ecosystem and its importance (16:30) Why L&D can't succeed alone in impacting business goals (21:00) Operationalizing the measurement of L&D's impact (23:28) Activity metrics vs. true performance impact (32:05) Leveraging AI tools to enhance L&D performance measurement Resources: For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, or tune in on our website.

Unhappiness at work causes poor performance, disengagement, mistakes, absenteeism, mental health issues, and ultimately poor customer experience and anemic sales.But defining happiness at work seems so squishy. Is the leader's job to make people happy? Garrett Delph looks at happiness the way I look at empathy - as an intentional business strategy that can be operationalized and scaled.Today, we talk about the causes of unhappiness in a business culture, why increasing happiness and decreasing stress are good for the bottom line, how clarity plays a huge role in engaging your people, and what it looks like from a process and operations point of view. He shares why culture is operational and that people need a structure that enables them to understand expectations, communicate easily and safely, and collaborate - or they will just leave. We had a great conversation about how empathy is linked to happiness and why it needs to be modeled and discussed from the top. Lastly, Garrett leaves you with two paths to take if you suspect your business could be more effective, so you can take the next right steps to improve results. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Clarity is a form of empathy at work - when we are clear, we help people avoid anxiety, stress, and confusion, which leads to greater happiness.You have to balance the load with your managers - if you don't know what they are doing or who they are managing, you cannot understand where the workflow bottlenecks are.We are all needed for the business to function. And people need direction and instruction to ensure we're all on the same page."As leaders, often we hire great people and we buy the lie ‘hire great people and set them free' not realizing you can't do that, or you fail the people." — Garrett DelphThe Empathy Edge Episode References: Dr. Tracy Brower: The Secret to Happiness at WorkBrent Lowe and Susan Basterfield: How Innovative Organizations Lead and Scale - No Managers RequiredSetting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business by Danny MeyerFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

Sarah Stalnecker is the Global Privacy Director at New Balance Athletics, Inc., where she leads the integration of privacy principles across the organization, driving awareness and compliance through education, streamlined processes, and technology solutions. In this episode… Operationalizing privacy programs starts with translating legal requirements into actions that work across teams. This means aligning privacy with existing tools and workflows while meeting evolving privacy regulations and adapting to new technologies. Today's consumers also demand both personalization and privacy, and building trust means fulfilling these expectations without crossing the line. So, how can companies build a privacy program that meets regulatory requirements, integrates into daily operations, and earns consumer trust? Embedding privacy into business operations involves more than just meeting regulatory requirements. It requires cultural change, leadership buy-in, and teamwork. Rather than forcing company teams to adapt to new privacy processes, organizations need to embed privacy requirements into existing workflows and systems that departments already use. Leading with consumer expectations instead of legal mandates helps shift mindsets and encourages collaborative dialogue about responsible data use. Documenting AI use cases and establishing an AI governance program also helps assess risks without reactive scrambling. Teams should also leverage privacy technology to scale processes and streamline compliance to ensure privacy becomes an embedded, organization-wide function rather than a siloed concern. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels chat with Sarah Stalnecker, Global Privacy Director at New Balance Athletics, about operationalizing privacy programs. Sarah shares how her team approaches data collection, embeds privacy into existing workflows, and uses consumer expectations to drive internal engagement. She also highlights the importance of documenting AI use cases and establishing AI governance to assess risk. Sarah provides tips on selecting and evaluating privacy technology and how to measure privacy program success beyond traditional metrics.

Iran's nuclear program is escalating, its economy is worsening, and Tehran's terror-regime ties with other authoritarians are tightening. As a result, the United States has an unparalleled opportunity to operationalize alternative policy options that marry maximum support for the Iranian people with maximum pressure against the Iranian regime.To advance these ideas, FDD and the National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI) host a symposium featuring a keynote address by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) followed by an exclusive fireside chat with HIH Reza Pahlavi, crown prince of Iran, and Cliff May, FDD founder and president. An expert panel featuring Behnam Ben Taleblu, FDD's Iran Program senior director, and Cameron Khansarinia, NUFDI vice president, will unpack the current state of play with Iran and how maximum support can be paired with maximum pressure; Negar Mojtahedi, Iran International correspondent, will moderate.For more, check out: https://www.fdd.org/events/2025/04/07/maximum-support-operationalizing-the-other-iran-policy/

But most aren't as systematic or successful after the transaction.Amy Stockberger solved this problem with margarita machines (among other tools and supplies!). In this conversation, Amy walks us through a system that serves your clients, vendors, local employers, and agents - all at the same time. She designed it to turn one client into five, transform her database into a "databank," and create “clients for life” (rather than “past clients”). The 20 agents with Amy Stockberger Real Estate each close an average of 20 units per year and have a seven-year average on the team. For years they've been the top team in their market, achieving a 10% market share (with a goal of 15%) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.Watch or listen to this conversation with Amy Stockberger for insights into:- Operationalizing a service-first mindset- Doing 15-20 open houses per weekend on a diet of beef jerky, sunflower seeds, and Mountain Dew- Identifying a “major hole” in her team's business (and in the industry)- Knowing where your closings come from (link to free resource below!)- Developing the Lifetime Home Support system to serve clients for life- Logistics behind moving trucks, party supplies, and a tool shed your clients can book at any time (in a way that drives agent reviews, agent referrals, and vendor partnerships)- Tips for building, monetizing, and generating leads from your vendor program (they're at $3,500/year with about 100 vendors - DM her “Ethan” on Instagram for a guide)- Adjusting your business model toward a better exit planAt the end, learn about traveling to see the Red Sox, cutting down on color printing, and leveraging other people's audiences.Get the DataBANK Developer (including tips on vendor programs): - https://www.instagram.com/amystockberger/ (DM her the word “Ethan”)Get the Source Code System (to track ROI by lead source): - https://adobe.ly/4efGkS1Amy Stockberger:- https://www.amystockberger.com/- https://lifetimehomesupport.com/Real Estate Team OS:- https://www.realestateteamos.com- https://linktr.ee/realestateteamos- https://www.instagram.com/realestateteamos/
Last year, two of our key leaders and I attended a Dave Ramsey Summit. This is how I have gotten some of my best CEO training. I really think about the topics the speaker is bringing up and think of Organize 365® and have I implemented something similar? Have I done that thing? Or maybe is that idea an improvement we should consider? It was great for us to be hearing the same information at the same time and be able to discuss. We even changed our Monday morning meeting a little to catch our staff at a better time of day. And then I thought “Is there anything I need to add to our values?” What is Busy Work? When I thought about staffing and when someone leaves Organize 354®, is there a way to eliminate busy work. Do their job tasks still need to be done or were they busy work? Is there someone else on the team that can do those tasks? It got me thinking of all the busy work teachers do. It's cute to put the little bubbles at the “end” of each stroke of the letters but is it necessary? I'd do it once, then copy the paper the rest of the year, otherwise it would become busy work. Revisiting a closet you've done recently thinking you'll get the same high will let you down because the transformation is not nearly as dramatic. Busy work is that unnecessary re-working of tasks. As long as your work is not done, even if it's busy work, you won't have the excess time, capacity, and boredom to seek out what you are uniquely gifted and created to do. Operationalizing The flip side of busy work that can appear as busy work is operationalizing your tasks. I started out organizing my sister and I's rooms. Then I graduated to organizing the homes I babysat in. I have always loved gifting an act of service. I organized the “craft area” by the fire place at my house and my mom loved it. So I did it annually around Christmas for her. But then my parents expanded the house and she got a larger space. My mom is an artists and that was definitely a challenge to understand what was valuable and not. I asked a lot of questions!! I would help other teachers to organize their classrooms. And eventually organized my clients. But in each of those instances I was growing my skill set. I was learning how the spaces were used and why the items were in there. I was operationalizing how I helped other get organized. You can do the same with repeated tasks. That's why on Planning Day I tell you to stock up your storage for the trimester. Don't order one of the same thing each month, operationalize it. The Sunday Basket Replaces Your Checklists First of all, there is a time and place for checklists. Checklists can be useful if you are trying to establish a new routine. Be careful not to let it become a crutch. Don't be so stuck on the list that it supersedes your role in the company. And not everything needs to go on the list, just big things you can't forget. And checklists are good for something you don't do often. My best example I shared was our packing list for Florida each year. As we grow and change the list does too. We edit when necessary so we don't forget for the next time we need to use the checklist. I can remember the last time I used a master to do list. In 2014, I wrote 10 legal pad pages of all my to do's. I organized them by family member or entity and then prioritized them. I transferred each item to an index card. And I filed them away to deal with on Sunday. It is nice to look at all tasks individually and decide on importance, my time, and my money. I may write down the same task multiple times and that's ok because I got it out of my head and who cares if I wrote it multiple times. I place them in the appropriate slash pock. I take action on the actionable items. Then once I complete the task I get to toss it in the recycling. Lists never go away, with index cards you can complete them and toss them. The Sunday Basket is safe keeping till you can take action.

In this episode, Ryan Staley shares his insights from recent experiences at a SaaS startup event in New York and the massive Dreamforce conference in San Francisco. Ryan discusses the challenges faced by tech startups and large enterprises in implementing AI strategies, revealing that many companies lack a systematic approach to AI integration. Ryan highlights the importance of operationalizing AI across organizations and shares key takeaways from his interactions with Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 companies. Ryan also delves into the emerging AgentForce initiative by Salesforce, exploring its potential impact on the industry and the innovative pricing models being introduced. Join 2,500+ readers getting weekly practical guidance to scale themselves and their companies using Artificial Intelligence and Revenue Cheat Codes. Explore becoming Superhuman here: https://superhumanrevenue.beehiiv.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS At a SaaS startup event, it was surprising to find that only one out of 26 companies had a systematic strategy for implementing AI into their products. During interactions with Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 companies at Dreamforce, it was noted that many organizations are defaulting to using AI tools like Microsoft Copilot without proper training or systematic rollout. Salesforce's AgentForce initiative is focused on creating autonomous agents tailored to specific industries and functions, leveraging retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to provide higher-quality answers based on the data within Salesforce. Many companies expressed skepticism about the timeline for rolling out Salesforce's AgentForce, with some believing it could take up to a year and a half to fully implement, despite the potential benefits. There is a significant opportunity for both small tech startups and large enterprises to operationalize AI effectively. A systematic approach to AI can lead to substantial improvements in productivity and revenue growth. BEST MOMENTS "Only one out of 26 companies could answer... what are your plans or your systematic strategy for implementing AI into your product?" "A lot of companies are defaulting company-wide to models like Microsoft Copilot because of the embedded security comfort factor." "By taking a systematic approach, you can multiply the output of your entire workforce." "Salesforce's new version is, in my opinion, no do-it-yourself AI; let Salesforce do that." "This could automate parts of people's jobs... it's going to be really interesting to see how it implements."

Jessica Livingston is a co-founder of Y Combinator, the first and most successful startup accelerator. Y Combinator has funded over 5,000 companies, 200 of which are now unicorns, including Airbnb, Dropbox, DoorDash, Stripe, Coinbase, and Reddit. Jessica played a crucial role in YC's early success, when she was nicknamed the “social radar” because of her uncanny ability to quickly evaluate people—an essential skill when investing in early-stage startups. She's also the host of the popular podcast The Social Radars, where she interviews billion-dollar-startup founders, and the author of the acclaimed book Founders at Work, which captures the origin stories of some of today's most interesting companies. In our conversation, we discuss:• How Jessica gained the affectionate title of the “social radar”• Why defensive founders are a red flag• How to develop your social radar• What she looks for in founders during YC interviews• How YC's early inexperience in angel investing led to the batch model• Her favorite stories from interviews with Airbnb, Rippling, and more• Lessons learned from hosting her own podcast• Much more—Brought to you by:• Enterpret—Transform customer feedback into product growth• Anvil—The fastest way to build software for documents• Vanta—Automate compliance.

AI is, of course, at the top of every business leader's mind as questions come up about how it will inevitably fit into their tech stack. The issue here is that bringing in disruptive tech like AI where the details aren't 100% ironed out introduces a whole lot of risk when dealing with highly sensitive financial data, health records, etc. Today we're going to talk about operationalizing AI in industries where highly sensitive customer data is involved, and how to be successful while balancing those privacy and security requirements. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Peter Roschke, CTO at Coherent.
