Lewis Ward and Greg Posner open Games for Change 2026 with three interviewson the calendar, a Player Driven happy hour that night, and no idea yet howany of it goes.A new Raising Good Gamers white paper lands at the show this week: a meta-analysis of roughly 200,000 studies on what parents actually need to knowabout games and kids, positives included. Lewis breaks down what's in it,who funded the research behind it, and why Tencent has a rational commercialinterest in closing the gap between what parents fear and what playersactually do.Greg makes the trust and safety case from the Player Driven side. The toolingis moving upstream, from moderating conversations after they happen todesigning the conditions where they never start.Then Lewis makes the point nobody at the conference wants to hear. He wentlast year. He played the games on the floor. They weren't fun.

Insider trading isn't new, and it's not legal. But a long-time White House teleprompter operator -- the person who'd run the teleprompter for the President's speeches -- is now out of a job over allegations that he used privileged information to bet on what the President would say in his speeches. Unfortunately, Greg and Holly say it seems pretty on par with the way things have been going in Washington. And now, lawmakers like Senator John Curtis are calling for harsher and more thorough crackdowns on insider trading.

-Netflix said, “GenAI workflows were used in roughly 300 of our titles, this year, with the largest concentration of work in post-production.” -Gabriel Perez allegedly made more than $100,000 betting on the length of President Trump's speeches, including the State of the Union address, a speech at the World Economic Forum in January and remarks at a Medal of Honor ceremony in March. -MLB officials have taken the unusual step of making a mid-season policy change to crack down on the use of custom apps that would take over "recommendations regarding substitutions, pitch calling, and other in-game decisions traditionally made by players and coaches."

Amir Yazdi is the founder and managing partner of Bastian Capital, an investment firm focused on identifying, acquiring and growing restaurant and hospitality businesses. A former film producer, Amir transitioned into the restaurant industry more than two decades ago and has built a career scaling multi-unit operations, investing in emerging concepts and helping restaurant brands grow sustainably.Bastian Capital invests in restaurant and hospitality businesses with an emphasis on operational excellence, scalability and long-term value creation. The firm owns and operates multiple restaurant concepts, including Subway, UNO Pizzeria & Grill and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf locations, while also evaluating acquisition opportunities throughout the industry.Before founding Bastian Capital, Amir attended the USC School of Cinematic Arts and worked as a film producer. He credits his experience as a bartender with teaching him valuable customer service and leadership skills that continue to influence his approach to business. Bastian Capital has grown from operating restaurants to acquiring and investing in brands across multiple states.Amir believes every successful restaurant concept must be designed for replication. Strong systems, documented processes and operational consistency are what allow founders to scale beyond a handful of locations.One of the biggest questions he asks when evaluating an investment opportunity is simple: Why is the owner selling? The answer often reveals whether the business still has meaningful growth ahead or has already reached its peak.He cautions operators against assuming great single-unit managers will automatically succeed in multi-unit leadership roles. Scaling requires different skills, stronger infrastructure and the right people in the right positions.Amir says restaurants ultimately spend money in two places: food and labor. Rising labor costs continue to reshape the economics of the industry, making operational efficiency and back-office infrastructure more important than ever.He believes restaurants will continue to thrive because they provide something technology cannot replace. Beyond serving food, they create gathering places where families, friends and communities come together to celebrate, connect and build lasting memories.While he believes robot servers have limited appeal outside certain concepts, Amir expects automation in restaurant kitchens and back-of-house operations to become increasingly important as operators manage labor shortages and rising wage pressures.Looking ahead, Amir sees GLP-1 medications as one of the biggest long-term forces facing the restaurant industry. As access expands, he expects changing eating habits and shifting consumer behavior to influence menus, traffic patterns and restaurant economics across multiple segments.  QUOTES “Everybody needs to work a service job at some point in their lives. You learn how to deal with people, you learn how to be humble, and learning how to roll with difficult customers is a vital life skill.” (Amir)“The hardest step for us was going from four restaurants to five. That’s the point where you lose the ability to touch everyone all the time, and you realize you can’t do this by yourself.” (Amir)“When I look at scalability, it’s about simplifying the operation to the point where, if I grabbed you off the street, I could teach you how to run this place in three days.” (Amir)“We took all the guesswork out of the equation very early on, and that became a real catalyst for our ability to scale.” (Amir)“Just because you’re an excellent single-unit manager doesn’t make you an excellent multi-unit manager.” (Amir)“‘This is the way we’ve always done it’ is the worst possible answer to the question.” (Amir)“There’s only really two things you spend your money on in this business: food and people.” (Amir)“We’re just at the beginning of the GLP-1 story. When access expands, that’s going to be one of the biggest changes this industry has to navigate.” (Amir)“People will always want to go out. There’s something about breaking bread together. Restaurants bring communities together, and sometimes you catch magic. You can’t replicate that anywhere else.” (Amir)“There’s only so much price you can take. I always say, ‘Two is the new one.’ But if four becomes the new one, that’s a real problem for everybody.” (Amir)

“She has built an amazing system and an amazing flywheel.” What separates a performance creative director worth hiring from one who just manages a content calendar? Connor MacDonald (CMO, Ridge) and Connor Rolain (Head of Growth, HexClad) dig into what it takes to hire a director of performance creative today, why the creative strategist role has split into two distinct skill sets, and how AI agents are emerging as a serious ecommerce conversion rate optimization play. They debate whether a great creative strategist should be an operator or an ideator. The answer is neither alone. Both hosts unpack why less prescriptive creator briefs are now producing better-performing ads than heavily scripted ones. The hosts close with a quick over-under on the retention tools most brands either overinvest in or ignore entirely. Powered By Motion Creative Benchmarks 2026 https://9ops.co/motionapp-creativebenchmarks2026 NeonPixel https://9ops.co/neonpixel Richpanel https://9ops.co/richpanel Aftersell https://9ops.co/aftersell-mops Haus https://www.haus.io/operators Operators Newsletter https://9operators.com/

In this episode, with a name that breaks all the rules, we zoom in on our featured Food and Operator, the distinctly disturbing dreamy duo Monkfish Liver, who are decidedly NOT here to look after you, good hunter, and the thunder-thighed thoroughly thought provoking Savage, here to whip you up a bowl of the good stuff (?) and ask a spooooky question: Is it possible for your sexy aunt to be scarier than a flesh eating mannequin? Because, here me out. Then, it's off to the community center with Burrito, Datemaki, and Figurino, asking: Now, we all know you can forcefemme a burrito (not mine please, I'm full) but CAN you forcefemme a taco...?

DJ opens up about the creative side few people ever see, from writing rhyming roasts for the teams to the visceral pull of Ludovico Einaudi and the ready room ritual of playing the Last of the Mohicans score before going to work. From there the conversation turns to selection, where DJ describes the single most meaningful moment of his life, hearing his name called for the squadron he had wanted above all else, and the six months of purpose-built training that got him there. He lays out the philosophy that now drives him, the Be A Pro mentality, built on the idea that greatness is simply discipline and routine executed without compromise. He talks about the performance standards he created, why he still passes them despite what the job has taken from his body, and the reason everybody should do the same.

Katie Bullard helped take DiscoverOrg from $30 million to $300 million in revenue, then served as president of A Cloud Guru and Red Canary through exits to Pluralsight and Zscaler. She joins AJ Bruno and Asad Zaman to break down what actually changes for operators in an AI-first world. From why "AI native" is not a growth strategy, to how to align the CRO, CFO, and product team around a single growth plan. Topics include building for customer value before chasing AI ARR, the move from seat-based to consumption pricing, and why 70% of the old playbook for hiring a great executive is suddenly out of date. Also: a reality check on AI accuracy across multi-step work. Plus, a Bulls and Bears debate on whether $200 a week is the real ceiling on AI's value. Key Takeaways: - AI has to earn its keep in customer value, not exist for its own sake. As Katie put it: "Too many companies, I would say, are focusing on the technology … and not on the customer value." Her fix is to ground every AI investment in the ROI it drives for a customer before worrying about the AI ARR label investors keep asking about. - The profile of a great executive is being rewritten in real time. Katie's warning for anyone with a strong track record: "the classic operator of a $100 million business actually will not be particularly successful in a $100 million business today that is redefining itself." She estimates 70% of the pattern-matching investors and recruiters used to hire CROs, CFOs, and CEOs is now out the window, replaced by a hunt for learning velocity over past wins. - AI's success with code does not automatically transfer to the rest of the org. Asad Zaman, CEO at STA, ran the math: "if you take the best model … against any one step … it has 95% accuracy … if you do a 20-step process … that same model achieves 37% accuracy." His point is that stacking agents to cover that compounding error only works when you spend enough compute to make the task uneconomical. - The AI-native shift is already changing how companies hire and build. AJ Bruno, CEO at QuotaPath, said flatly that "Our engineers aren't writing code at all," noting roughly 90% of the company's code now comes from either Cursor or Claude, and framed AI-enabled services at above 70% margin as QuotaPath's real growth engine for 2027.

Private equity just bid to take Criteo private at a 50%+ premium and two of the sharpest voices in commerce & media read the exact same filings and reached opposite conclusions. Ayelet Shipley and Christian Hassold break down Vista Equity Partners' (with hedge fund Quinti Capital) proposed take-private of Criteo (Nasdaq: CRTO): the "melting ice cube" bear case vs. Ken Kubec's "Footnote Trade" bull case (reported retail-media revenue down 32% vs. ~24% underlying growth once you strip out an accounting change and two client roll-offs), why a business throwing off ~$400M in profit was trading around 2x EBITDA, the Luxembourg "re-domicile escape hatch," and whether Vista's playbook gives Criteo product oxygen or runs off its 900 engineers.Plus the market update on AI marketing-tech venture rounds (geoSurge, Vendelux), and two quick deal hits with very different structures: Descartes x Drivin and Banzai x ConnectAndSell.⏱️ Chapters 00:00 — Intro: Market & Deals Friday 00:49 — Market Update: VC keeps funding AI marketing tech (geoSurge, Vendelux) 03:06 — Feature: Vista + Quinti bid to take Criteo private — the facts 05:55 — The Operator's Read (Christian): toll road, or mispriced commerce-media asset? 11:32 — The Deal Architect's Read (Ayelet): incentives & the Luxembourg escape hatch 15:50 — Quick Hits: Descartes/Drivin & Banzai/ConnectAndSell 19:40 — WrapReads referenced: Chris Sheldon: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chris-j-sheldon_criteos-retail-media-growth-fell-from-23-share-7480304433730441216-MyKwKen Kubec: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kenkubec_privateequity-adtech-retailmedia-ugcPost-7480605776760307713-dbqi

Caleb emphasizes the necessity of shifting from a manual laborer to a strategic leader by stepping away from field work to focus on building a robust sales pipeline. Auman details practical methods for maintaining growth, such as consistent client outreach, leveraging CRM technology, and utilizing specialized tools like Company Cam and Cycle CPA. He argues that true business expansion requires disciplined communication and the courage to delegate tasks to a well-trained crew.  Key Takeaways: Make a habit of calling ten past clients, vendors, or friends every day to maintain a consistent flow of leads and work. Transition from being a field operator to a business leader by intentionally stepping away from daily labor to focus on growth and strategy. Use visual documentation tools to provide your team with clear instructions and project details so they can succeed without your constant supervision. Communicate your long-term business vision to your crew so they understand that your time spent selling work directly secures their jobs and future opportunities. Build a robust sales pipeline so you can stop lowering your prices out of desperation and start selecting only high-value projects with healthy profit margins. Connect with Auman Landscape

"You will not be happier at nine figures. I'll just tell you that right now." What does an operator do after building an 8-figure brand entirely on one dog breed? Help an Operator Out (HAOO) is a new series where real business owners join the podcast with live questions. In this episode, Garrett Yamasaki (Founder & CEO, We Love Doodles) brings his crossroads: a bootstrapped, Amazon-heavy pet brand that crossed eight figures and needs to decide whether to go deeper in its niche or wider into new dog breeds. The answer is less obvious than it sounds.The conversation covers capital allocation, the difference between product-channel fit versus product-market fit, and why consumables change the LTV math entirely. Mike makes the case that moated niche distribution builds more durable enterprise value than any paid channel. And everyone lands on the same uncomfortable truth. The business you already built is the one most worth protecting. Powered ByFulfil⁠https://9ops.co/fulfil⁠ Aftersell⁠https://9ops.co/4i3bb5⁠Richpanel⁠https://9ops.co/richpanel⁠Northbeam⁠https://www.northbeam.io/⁠Saras Analytics⁠https://bit.ly/4a3gzVv⁠Postscript⁠https://9ops.co/postscript⁠Operators Newsletter⁠https://9operators.com/⁠

Eight-year-old Navin Jones should have been safe. Instead, by the time first responders entered a Peoria home, they were stepping into the end of a story filled with warning signs, missed chances, and questions no one should ever have to ask about a child. In this episode, The Operator follows the people and systems surrounding Navin's case—examining what was seen, what was known, and what should have happened.

When does your Amazon account stop being a hobby and start being a real business? You decide. And most operators wait too long to make that call. Neil Twa breaks down the mindset shift from hobbyist to business operator on The High Voltage Business Builders Podcast. Take Ashley, for example. Her journey isn't about rags-to-riches but a shift in mindset. She came in with a medical-grade scar care brand and turned it into a real business by changing her decision-making process. Whether you're making $5,000 a month or $500,000, the scale changes, but the logic does not. Neil shares three moves that work at any level: audit your decision-making, not just your metrics. If you're drowning in tabs trying to manage it all, this episode is for you. Ready to implement with us?

I hope the game gets better.

As an operator, I need to spot problems before anyone else because I'm closest to the work and the daily execution. The owner sees the big picture, but I see the breakdowns as they happen and can respond before they become bigger issues. A great operator keeps the business running, gives leadership the right information, and makes better decisions possible. The better I am at seeing what's really happening, the more valuable I become. Show Notes: [06:53]#1 Operators live inside the work [09:48]#2 Leaders are relying on filtered information from their operator. [17:26]#3 Operator feel consequences immediately [20:24]Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard. If your results don't match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem.   They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.

This one's a bit of a TMBA throwback — a story about how to leverage the skills you already have to build a business and life that fits your goals. Hannah Wilnau co-owns Wilnau Design, a web design and digital marketing agency serving independent financial advisors — fully remote, built over ten years alongside her husband and co-founder Greg. It started with a side project she almost didn't do. That one project became her first client, which became a referral, which became a ten-year business. In this conversation: the specific savings number she and Greg used to decide when to make the leap, how she thinks about niche selection and why the right niche should align with the life you want to build, and how she's now engineering a sale — and what the financial discipline that requires looks like day to day.

You think you're building a company that's ready for investment or acquisition. Your revenue is growing. Customers are happy. The future looks promising. But what if the very things you're overlooking are quietly destroying your valuation?   In this episode of WholeCEO with Lisa G., Lisa sits down with operator and transformation expert Mark Sims to reveal the hidden factors that separate companies that command premium valuations from those that struggle to get deals across the finish line.   You'll discover: ·        Why founders often misunderstand what buyers are truly evaluating. ·        The subtle warning signs that a deal is beginning to unravel during diligence. ·        The operational weaknesses that create concern even when growth looks impressive. ·        How technology debt and outdated systems can significantly impact enterprise value. ·        What successful post-acquisition integrations have in common—and why others fail. ·        The first areas Mark would audit if a company plans to exit within the next three years. ·        The risks leadership teams unintentionally create without realizing it. ·        Why AI is rapidly becoming part of the diligence conversation and changing buyer expectations. ·        The one thing founders should stop obsessing over and the one thing they should prioritize to maximize value. ·        The advice Mark repeatedly gives CEOs preparing for growth, investment, or a future exit.   This isn't just a conversation about selling a company. It's a masterclass on building an organization that is operationally strong, scalable, and attractive to investors long before a deal is on the table.

Most agency founders built their business to buy back their time — then woke up to find the business owns them instead. Jason Swenk built and sold a seven-figure agency that served AT&T, Hitachi, and LegalZoom. Today he advises 7- and 8-figure agency owners through Agency Mastery, hosts the Smart Agency Masterclass podcast, and just released his book Operator to Owner. He's seen this trap from every angle. In this episode, Jason shares the 5-Stage Founder Evolution framework that changes everything: Operator → Manager → Architect → CEO → Owner. These aren't revenue milestones. They're deliberate identity shifts that progressively remove the founder from daily operations — until the business can run without them. What you'll learn in this episode: The 5 founder identity stages every agency owner must move through to achieve true business freedom Why chasing revenue without evolving your identity keeps you trapped — even at $10M How to build a business that runs without you so you can own it instead of being owned by it Key quote: "You could be a $10 million agency and be completely miserable and unprofitable and working all the time. I'd rather be a million dollar agency working 20 hours a week that I really enjoy life." — Jason Swenk If your agency story feels fragmented — across your website, pitches, and team — visit storycyclegenie.ai for a free Brand Story Grade and find out what it's costing you.
