If you're like most founders, “creating a yearly business plan” is one of those tasks you keep bumping to the bottom of your to-do list. Maybe you tell yourself you'll get to it when things slow down, but they never do. And before you know it, you're steamrolling into the new year without a plan, which leads to overthinking every single decision and drowning in busy work. And somehow you end the year wondering how you were so busy… without feeling like you moved the needle at all. Stacy doesn't want that to be your reality at the end of 2026. That's why today, she's walking through the exact planning framework she uses with clients inside her membership, The Boutique Investment Collective.In this episode, she covers:How to set a 10-year “10-bagger” goal that feels exciting and directional (not something that makes you freeze or avoid the plan altogether)Her process for breaking big annual goals into quarterly focuses you can realistically carry while still running a business (and a life)Why it's time to stop using AUM as your only scorecardHow to get clear on what's in your control, what isn't, and where you're wasting energy trying to force outcomesThe mistake that's making your sales harder than they should be (and how to streamline your sales process in 2026)  ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?

Dentosophie unterm Weihnachtsbaum: Ganzheitliche Klarheit als Positionierung (mit Dr. Dana Triebel-Regenhardt) Passend zum 24. Dezember spricht Klausi heute mit seiner lieben Freundin und langjährigen Praxispartnerin Dr. Dana Triebel-Regenhardt über ihren spannenden persönlichen und beruflichen Weg. Dana ist von der klassischen, aber schon immer sehr ganzheitlich orientierten Praxis hin zu einer Behandlung gewechselt, die stark auf den Prinzipien der Kairos-Methode und der Dentosophie basiert. Dana definiert, was Ganzheitlichkeit für sie bedeutet: Es geht darum, den Menschen als Ganzes (Körper, Geist, Seele) zu betrachten und festzustellen, ob er gesundheitlich überhaupt in der Lage ist, eine Behandlung zu kompensieren (Kairos = der richtige Moment),. Sie erklärt dir, dass die Dentosophie die Therapie durch die Korrektur der drei normalen Funktionen Atmen, Schlucken und Kauen ermöglicht, was in der klassischen zahnmedizinischen Ausbildung oft nicht gelehrt wird. Außerdem sprechen wir über Danas hybrides Curriculum, mit dem sie Dentosophen ausbildet, und warum die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit mit Therapeuten essenziell ist. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse in kurzen Schlagzeilen - Ganzheitlichkeit ist der Blick auf den ganzen Menschen: Die Kairos-Methode betrachtet Körper, Geist und Seele integrativ, um zu beurteilen, was gerade das aktuelle Thema des Patienten ist und was er gesundheitlich stemmen kann. - Die Dentosophie fokussiert die Basis der Funktionen: Die Methode stellt die drei zentralen Funktionen Atmen, Schlucken und Kauen in den Mittelpunkt, deren Fehlfunktionen häufig für Probleme (wie Rezidive nach KFO oder CMD) verantwortlich sind. - Klarheit braucht Konsequenz – auch beim Umsatz: Wenn du in deiner Positionierung klar bist, darfst du auch große OPs ablehnen, wenn Patienten die therapeutischen Voraussetzungen (z. B. Vitamin D-Werte) nicht erfüllen; dies schützt dich vor Problemen, falls die Behandlung fehlschlägt. - Dentosophie ist leicht zu integrieren: Die Methode benötigt keine großen Investitionen (wie einen Scanner) und kann sofort spielerisch in die Beratung integriert werden; sie lässt sich mit einfachen Mitteln (Balancer, Fotos) umsetzen. - Interdisziplinarität ist dein Turbo: Arbeite zusammen und lerne von Therapeuten anderer Fachrichtungen, da Themen wie Zungenposition, Muskeltest (Kairos-Methode) oder posturologische Zusammenhänge oft nicht Teil der zahnmedizinischen Ausbildung sind. - Zum Schluss: Wenn du heute noch Thüringer Klöße oder Weißwurst isst,, wünschen wir dir und deinen Lieben ein wunderbares Fest!

“Be authentic.” “Own your story.” “Sharpen your edges.”We say these things at Havener Capital all the time (and Stacy says them a lot). But here's the real question: do they actually move the needle?Mike Denklau, founder of Dorset Agriculture, is here to tell you they do. Today, he's giving us a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you stop code-switching… and start building from your real story.Before launching Dorset, Mike was part of Harvard's endowment, helping manage a $4B+ agriculture and timber portfolio. Long before that, he was an Iowa farm kid. The journey from flannel in the fields to fund meetings in Boston is full of lessons for any founder navigating identity, fundraising, and first-time firm-building.Here's what you'll hear in this episode:How a kid from Iowa ended up managing billions at Harvard and how that full-circle moment sparked Dorset's launchThe overlooked opportunity in ag investing most firms ignore (and where meaningful, steady alpha may actually be hiding)How Mike landed his first investor without a pitch and without trading his comfy flannel in for a stiff suit to fit in Why boutique founders need to stop hiding behind polish and let LPs see the messy middle (because that's where conviction is built)What early-stage fundraising actually feels like and how to keep going when the uncertainty feels personal and loudThis isn't just a story about agriculture. It's a case study in what happens when you own your different, build what the market didn't even know it needed, and let your backstory do what it does best: open doors that fitting in never could. More about Mike Denklau: Mike was born into a third-generation farming family and raised on a farm in Iowa. He has 14+ years of investment and finance experience and was involved with $8B+ of transactions.Prior to Dorset, Mike was an agriculture investor at Solum Partners and Harvard Management Company. Previously, Mike held investment and investment banking roles at Hudson Advisors, Barclays, and Lehman Brothers.Mike earned a MBA and JD from Northwestern University and a BBA in Finance and a BS in Political Science from the University of Iowa. Mike is also a member of the Illinois State Bar Association.Mike enjoys golf, skiing, and Hawkeye football. He currently lives in Boston with his wife, two children, and golden retriever. ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?

In this episode of the Thread Podcast, Justin talks with Tyler Will, VP of GTM Strategy & Ops at Intercom, about how modern revenue organizations are evolving in an era defined by AI, PLG-to-enterprise transitions, and go-to-market speed.Tyler shares his journey from economic consulting and Bain, to GTM leadership at LinkedIn, to now scaling RevOps at Intercom. He breaks down the key differences between operating at a 20,000-person giant and a high-velocity SaaS company, why balancing PLG and enterprise sales motions requires intentional system and process design, and how Intercom rebuilt its routing, sales assist, and pricing guardrails to accelerate ACVs and bring clarity back to the customer journey.The conversation digs into how AI is reshaping selling—not by replacing reps, but by giving them time back. From auto-generating QBR decks to enriching data behind the scenes, Tyler explains why AI actually makes sales more human, not less. He also shares why the next generation of RevOps talent will shift from narrow specialists to curious generalists who leverage AI, understand the full GTM workflow, and act as true co-owners of the business.This is a high-signal episode for anyone thinking about PLG evolution, GTM design, AI-powered sales, and how RevOps must evolve to meet the moment.Chapters00:00 — Intro + Tyler's Background Justin sets up the episode; Tyler shares his path from consulting and Bain to LinkedIn to Intercom.02:00 — Early Career Lessons: From Consulting to GTM How economic consulting and strategy work shaped Tyler's analytical and leadership approach.03:30 — Operating at Scale: LinkedIn vs. Intercom Why large enterprise GTM is committee-driven, and how smaller SaaS companies require speed, adaptability, and influence without authority.06:00 — PLG, Sales-Led, and the Middle Ground How Intercom balances self-serve PLG customers with enterprise sales—and why a “Sales Assist” motion has become critical.08:30 — Redesigning Routing, Guardrails & ACV Growth How simplifying and separating motions helped Intercom lift sales-led logos and drive higher ACVs.10:45 — AI as an Amplifier, Not a Replacement Why AI frees reps from low-value tasks (QBR decks, data cleanup) and makes room for more human selling.13:20 — The Real Risk: Overvaluing Human Busywork Why reps aren't losing points for doing things manually—and why AI should elevate the conversation, not eliminate the human.15:00 — The Future of RevOps Careers Why RevOps is shifting from specialists to generalists who use AI, understand systems, and act like business owners.18:00 — What RevOps Leaders Should Learn Next Tyler's advice to aspiring operators—how to become more valuable by being curious across the entire GTM ecosystem.19:30 — Closing Thoughts + Intercom Hiring Tyler encourages RevOps pros to embrace the field and shape the future; Justin wraps the conversation.

Off The Bench with Thom Brennaman

In the cutthroat world of MLB free agency, few stories sting like a prodigal son choosing the bright lights of Philadelphia over his Ohio roots. On December 9, 2025, Kyle Schwarber, the Middletown native who grew up idolizing the Cincinnati Reds, inked a five-year, $150 million deal to stay with the Phillies—leaving the Reds empty-handed after a spirited but ultimately underpowered pursuit. For a franchise desperate to reignite fan passion at Great American Ball Park, this was more than a missed signing; it was a gut punch to the Queen City's baseball soul. Schwarber's 2025 season was a revelation: 56 home runs—tops in the NL—and 132 RBIs, a career zenith that vaulted him to second in MVP voting. At 32, the burly designated hitter evolved into a complete force, smashing an MLB-record 23 homers against lefties and posting a .964 OPS versus them, upending his platoon woes. His raw power, infectious energy, and Wawa-endorsed Philly flair made him the perfect leadoff masher behind Bryce Harper, fueling the Phillies' championship chase. No wonder Philly locked him up; he's their clubhouse heartbeat, a grizzled leader who bet on himself and won big. The Reds, though, saw Schwarber as destiny's gift. Just 35 miles from his boyhood diamond, he could've been the thunderous bat to complement Elly De La Cruz's spark and Jonathan India's savvy—propelling Cincinnati from rebuild purgatory to playoff contention. GM Nick Krall courted him aggressively at the GM Meetings, even hosting Schwarber and wife Paige for a November tour of GABP. Their offer? A five-year pact around $125 million, with escalators—respectable, but shy of Philly's bounty. Even the Orioles matched the Phillies' terms, only to watch Schwarber's heart pull him eastward.  This miss exposes the Reds' fiscal bind: a mid-market team chasing splashy dreams without the deep pockets of NL East behemoths. Ticket sales would've surged with "Schwar Bomb" nights echoing off the Ohio River, but instead, fans are left with echoes of 2010 glory. Pittsburgh and Boston sniffed around, too, but Cincinnati's emotional pitch fell flat against cold cash.  As Schwarber preps for another Citizens Bank Park barrage, Reds Nation mourns what could've been: a homecoming homer derby that never materialized. It's a reminder that in baseball, roots run deep, but dollars dig deeper. For now, the Phillies feast on continuity; the Reds pivot to Plan B, hoping for fireworks elsewhere. But oh, what a Schwarber-shaped hole in the lineup—and the heart. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

BT & Sal ignite a heated debate over the Mets' struggling outfield, dismissing Cody Bellinger as an unlikely option given his Yankee ties, but acknowledging his flexibility is appealing. The conversation quickly shifts to the current center field options, with Sal calling a potential Harrison Bader signing a waste of time and Byron Buxton an injury-prone gamble. The crux of the segment focuses on the future of Pete Alonso: if the Mets let him walk, they "must sign Kyle Schwarber." Sal passionately argues that Schwarber's superior plate discipline (despite the high strikeouts) and unhinged "caveman" energy make him a better power-bat acquisition than retaining Alonso. They compare the two sluggers' OPS and debate the risk of Schwarber's two-hundred-strikeout season in the postseason.

Michael Broadhurst is the Chief Operating Officer at StepStone Hospitality, a lifelong hotelier who sprinted from dish pit to nightclub manager to senior posts with Marriott, Starwood, Crestline, and Crescent. He opened the Westin Reston, later led the Westin Arlington Gateway, and built a reputation for turnarounds driven by culture, coaching, and cross-discipline training. Susan and Michael talk about teams, transitions, and top-line revenue. What You'll Learn About: • Why quick, personal, and approachable service beats fancy food every time • How learning Rooms turbocharges a hotel career  • The Westin Arlington Gateway story—and how to revive a once-beloved flagship • Culture first: rebuilding teams before chasing scores and stars • When to walk away from an owner deal and the integrity lines you don't cross • Why management-company churn is rising, and how to avoid becoming a commodity • A step-by-step takeover playbook that calms nerves and kills rumors • Sales x Ops, not Sales vs Ops • The full-service future: experiential stays, destination F&B, and activated spaces • Solving owner–brand–operator misalignment *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Culture Comes First in Turnarounds When taking over a newly transitioned or underperforming hotel, Michael's first priority is always stabilizing the team and rebuilding culture. He emphasizes transparency, reassurance, and respect, meeting with associates early to address fears about job security, benefits, and pay. His philosophy mirrors the Marriott fundamental: take care of your associates, and they'll take care of your guests.  2. Integrity and Fit Matter More Than Growth Michael insists that StepStone walks away from deals that don't align with their values. He's clear that integrity and impact outweigh expansion, rejecting "numbers on paper" deals or partnerships without shared ethics. His approach to ownership relationships is built on honesty, ROI clarity, and long-term collaboration. He'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than chase short-term wins.  3. The Future of Full-Service Hotels Is Experiential Looking ahead, Michael predicts that full-service hotels will survive by becoming destinations, not just places to stay. Success will depend on differentiated experiences like vibrant F&B concepts, live entertainment, wellness and fitness activation, and localized service that connects emotionally with guests. He believes traditional "three-meal" models are obsolete; the new era of full service is about lifestyle, energy, and creating a sense of place that guests (and locals) seek out.

The Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) face a must-win scenario in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, November 16, at Acrisure Stadium. Trailing in the AFC North, the Bengals desperately need a victory to salvage their playoff hopes, especially after a gritty 24-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 7, where Joe Flacco stepped in admirably, throwing for 342 yards.  However, with Joe Burrow's status uncertain amid injury whispers, the offense hinges on Ja'Marr Chase's explosiveness and a resurgent ground game led by Chase Brown. The Steelers enter as 5.5-point favorites, with a total of 49.5 points signaling a high-scoring affair.  Pittsburgh's defense, anchored by T.J. Watt, has terrorized quarterbacks, while their run-heavy attack with Najee Harris exploits Cincinnati's leaky front seven. Yet, the Bengals boast a perfect 2-0 divisional record this season and cover +5.5 in models like ESPN's, thanks to their pass rush disrupting Ben Roethlisberger's successor. Expect a revenge-fueled battle—Bengals ML +195 offers value for underdogs hungry to flip the script. Fresh off their first postseason berth since 2013, the Cincinnati Reds are buzzing with free agency ambition, and Kyle Schwarber tops the wishlist. ESPN's Jeff Passan calls signing the slugging DH the "perfect transaction" to turbocharge an offense that slashed .240 collectively in 2025. The Cincinnati native crushed 47 homers with an .928 OPS for the Phillies, thriving in a hitter-friendly park like GABP, where his pull power could yield 50+ dingers annually. Rumors hinge on a $60 million variable—Schwarber's Phillies loyalty versus Cincy's hometown pull and deeper pockets post-playoff revenue. A projected six-year, $150M deal could pair him with Elly De La Cruz for a fearsome core, transforming the Reds into NL Central contenders. Local ties ignite belief: Schwarber to Reds feels destined, per insiders, bridging nostalgia with firepower for 2026 glory.  Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).
