What does it take to build an economy that works for everyone? Meet Social Impact Pioneer Joe Scantlebury, President and CEO of Living Cities. From representing children in the juvenile justice and dependency care systems to helping shape civil rights and equity advocacy at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Joe shares his journey. If you're looking for inspiration and a can-do boost, this podcast is for you. Together, we explore how lasting social impact can be achieved through legal advocacy, philanthropy, workforce development and systems change. Joe brings experience across them all. Joe believes that economic growth must include everyone if people and communities are to thrive. That may sound obvious, but making it happen is far from easy. He shares how growing up in Brooklyn shaped his conviction that every person and community has untapped strengths and potential. He also explains why meaningful change starts with listening to those most affected by inequality, and why leaders must look beyond short-term commitments to build lasting change. The conversation examines the role of cross-sector collaboration in tackling complex social challenges. Joe discusses how government, business, philanthropy and civil society can work together to unlock opportunities for homeownership, entrepreneurship, impact investing and community wealth building. Learn from Joe on the super-powers of storytelling and narrative change in shifting mindsets, influencing policy and creating momentum for more inclusive economic systems. Throughout the episode, Joe challenges us to think bigger and bolder about what is possible. As he puts it, "There are not many people who are not worthy of investment." Creating shared prosperity requires recognising the strengths that already exist within communities and investing in them intentionally. This episode is packed with insights for business leaders, investors, philanthropists, policymakers and anyone interested in creating a more equitable future. If you're interested in systems change, social justice, racial equity, impact investing, community development or the future of inclusive economies, this conversation offers both practical lessons and renewed optimism.

(Rhonda McBride / KNBA) The state of Alaska is not ready to give up its fight just yet in the Kuskokwim subsistence lawsuit. It has filed a motion to appeal a federal judge's decision to award $1.8 million in attorney fees to several Native organizations, which joined a federal lawsuit against the state over subsistence fishing rights. The case began four years ago when federal managers sued the state for failing to uphold a rural subsistence priority, required under federal law. The state ultimately lost a series of court battles, which culminated when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case. Tanner Amdur-Clark works for one of the groups which joined the lawsuit, the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. He says the state's appeal continues a long pattern of delay. “It's yet another blow to Alaska Native organizations that are essentially taking money that they really should be using to be providing services and helping out folks in rural Alaska — and instead they're having to do this, to essentially fight for their lives against the state of Alaska.” The other groups in the lawsuit are the Association of Village Council Presidents, the Alaska Federation of Natives, the Ahtna Native Corporation, and an Ahtna tribal advocacy group. Amdur-Clark says, combined, they spent more on legal costs than the court awarded them. “Eventually at the end of the day, it's the state of Alaska and the taxpayers of the state of Alaska that are going to pay for all of this, so the court got it right the first time. We'll continue the fight.” In a statement, acting Attorney General Cori Mills defended the state's spending. She said it was necessary to get clarity on a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling’s impact on subsistence management. She also said the state should not be on the hook for attorney fees, because the Native groups voluntarily joined the federal lawsuit – and that the state is appealing the award, because it is “both legally impermissible and factually unreasonable.” Briana Murphy, the Chugach Regional Resources Commission mariculture liaison, harvests kelp in a bay near Port Graham, Alaska in 2026. (Courtesy Briana Murphy) A group of tribes in Southcentral Alaska partnered with a federal agency last month, as part of an effort to advance agriculture and mariculture projects. The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA has more. The Chugach Regional Resources Commission is a nonprofit that represents seven tribes. Last month, the consortium signed an agreement to establish the Chugach Region Tribal Conservation District. It's a partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Carolyn Spencer is the environmental director with the tribal consortium. “Partnering with NRCS in this way helps us access funding for mariculture development as well as some of the agricultural streams that we’re trying to work on.” Tribal Conservation Districts are entities across Alaska and the country created to manage natural resources on Native lands with technical or financial assistance from the federal government. Jackie Kragel is the acting state tribal liaison for the program. She says these partnerships foster communication between tribes and help with work on specific projects. “For example, there’s been a couple culvert replacements to support fish passage and salmon habitat. We have different infrastructure opportunities for community gardens for food sovereignty, such as seasonal high tunnels, low tunnels, and the different irrigation systems.” The seven tribes in the Chugach Regional Resources Commission already use innovative approaches when it comes to food sovereignty, for example, through a mariculture operation in Seward that cultivates shellfish and kelp. “They want ways to access healthy food in their backyard, without having to pay the shipping costs because they’re so remote.” One project Spencer says the partnership might make easier is high tunnel construction in Port Graham. That is a covered structure that traps solar heat for growing vegetables. She says that forming a conservation district will also help tribes collaborate with other communities that might be working on similar projects.

Ian Cinnamon didn't set out to build a satellite company. After selling his first startup to Palantir, he became convinced the real bottleneck in space wasn't launch or payloads, but the spacecraft itself. While rockets were getting cheaper and payloads more capable, satellite buses were still being built like bespoke engineering projects. Apex's answer was simple in theory and incredibly difficult in practice: turn spacecraft into products. Four years later, Apex is building standardized satellite platforms for commercial and national security customers, with a product lineup that now spans missions from LEO to GEO. We get into whether the satellite bus market is genuinely supply constrained, if standardized spacecraft become commodities or durable technology platforms, and how Starship, proliferated constellations, and rising defense demand are reshaping the economics of spacecraft manufacturing. We also cover: Why Ian believes spacecraft should become products instead of bespoke engineering programs Whether the satellite bus market is actually underbuilt or heading toward oversupply How Apex thinks about manufacturing, vertical integration, and scaling production Why larger satellites may make more sense in a world of cheap launch The capital strategy behind building one of the industry's fastest-growing companies Check out Valley of Depth #045 on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube. • Chapters • 00:00 – Trailer 00:55 – New CEO of Apex 02:29 – The Apex origin story 05:39 – Partnering with Max Benassi 07:13 – Successes and drawbacks of Apex's first 6 months 08:50 – Apex's current product set 10:36 – Misconceptions about how much mass you need in orbit 12:08 – Is the plan to build larger and larger satellites indefinitely? 13:11 – State of the bus market today 14:52 – Domestically oversupplied, globally undersupplied 16:31 – Apex's biggest opportunities on the commercial and national security side 18:50 – When should a company utilize Apex vs. building their own bus in-house? 19:46 – Apex's moat 21:12 – Juggling the bespoke government customer 22:15 – What the primes having in-house buses says about the market 23:07 – Commoditization of the bus vs. owning the complete mission 26:01 – Apex partnerships 27:27 – How many satellites are you building at a $100B company? 28:10 – Apex's three $200M fundraising rounds 32:05 – Is there another fundraising round incoming? 33:04 – Where Apex needs to be to seriously consider going public 34:58 – The road to 200 satellites per year 35:46 – Who is Apex losing deals to the most? 37:39 – Apex vs. K2 40:27 – How the push for heavy launch will affect Apex 42:15 – Apex's ability to get to space if SpaceX fully cuts commercial launches 44:35 – Is York an under or overvalued business? 46:36 – What keeps Ian up at night? 50:10 – When is Apex launching their own constellation? 51:06 – The missions that Apex could enable 52:30 – Is Ian still excited about asteroid mining?   • Show notes • Apex's' website — https://www.apexspace.com/ Ian's' socials — https://x.com/IanCinnamon Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/   • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.  Brought to you by Arkaea Media, the team behind Payload (space), Ignition (nuclear energy), Decoding Bio (biotech) and Tectonic (defense tech), this show goes beyond headlines and hype.

"Farming in a way that's good for the health of the consumer and good for the product is also good for the environment. And so everybody wins, and then our consumer wins." —Andrew Salisbury  Coffee health benefits aren't just marketing; they're backed by nearly 30,000 studies, yet almost none of that research made it into the bag of coffee sitting in your kitchen.  In this episode of Essential Ingredients, Justine Reichman talks with Andrew Salisbury, founder of Purity Coffee, about the personal frustration that led him to rebuild coffee from the soil up. It started with his wife's low energy and a stubborn question: was her daily coffee helping or hurting? That question sent Andrew to two coffee scientists at Vanderbilt, who handed him a list of health benefits tied to coffee — and a gap no company was filling.  Andrew explains why coffee is actually the number one source of antioxidants in the American diet, ahead of blueberries and kale, and why most companies stop at "avoiding the bad stuff" instead of maximizing the good. He walks through Purity's three-level testing process — bean, soil, and now the body — and explains why regenerative, shade-grown farming produces higher yields and more antioxidants than industrial methods, while also sequestering carbon rather than releasing it. The conversation moves from roast curves and chlorogenic acids to the real economics of paying farmers a premium, and why climate change is expected to cut Arabica coffee supply in half by 2035.  This is a conversation about what happens when a company refuses to accept "that's just how it's done." Listen to the full episode to hear how one entrepreneur is trying to make your daily cup a genuine act of health: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/essential-ingredients-podcast/id1534417325   Meet Andrew:  Andrew Salisbury is the founder and CEO of Purity Coffee, a specialty coffee company built on a simple but radical premise: every decision from farm to cup should be made for human health first. After investigating his wife's low energy and digging into research at the Institute for Coffee Studies at Vanderbilt, Andrew discovered that coffee is the number one source of antioxidants in the American diet—and that no brand was optimizing coffee specifically for health. Partnering with leading coffee researcher Professor Adriana Farah, Andrew spent 18 months developing Purity's approach: shade-grown, regeneratively farmed, organic coffee that is independently lab-tested to minimize mold, mycotoxins, pesticides, and heavy metals while maximizing antioxidants and polyphenols. Through Purity Coffee and the emerging concept of "circular health coffee," Andrew is helping reshape how the industry thinks about regenerative agriculture, soil health, and clean sourcing, proving that what's best for the drinker can also be best for farmers and the planet.

In this episode, hosts Lee-Sean Huang and Giulia Donatello sit down with Jeff Leitner, the co-founder of UX for Good, architect of Norm Design, and a partner to organizations ranging from the US State Department and NASA to Harvard Medical School. Together, they unpack the core ideas behind his Summer 2026 Stanford Social Innovation Review article, "The Science of Norm Design," exploring why smart, well-funded initiatives fail roughly 70% of the time. Jeff shares his extensive experience studying the "invisible architecture" of social environments. He offers a critical challenge to the design industry, inviting practitioners to look past boilerplate briefs and standard user research to systematically uncover and design for the unwritten rules that dictate human behavior.In This EpisodeHere is the section trimmed down by 25% for a faster, punchier read, with all text formatted in plain text:The definition of norm design. Jeff defines norm design as an essential layer built on top of traditional research to uncover a group's informal, unwritten rules. Because every solution lands within a complex social ecosystem, these hidden dynamics ultimately dictate whether a design succeeds or fails. The 70% organizational failure rate. Stagnant for decades, the standard failure rate for organizational change is famously high. The uncomfortable reality is that most interventions fail because they inadvertently obey the exact same unwritten rules as the problems they are trying to fix. The New Orleans musicians' paradox. Partnering with UX for Good to help local musicians, who average $24,000 a year, the team found that standard financial literacy training routinely failed. A norm-based approach revealed that musicians viewed asking for tips as humiliating. By bypassing the ask and adding a tipping line directly to club receipts, they successfully transferred thousands of dollars to bands. Unwritten rules vs. employee manuals. Social norms are rarely documented. To find a company's true constraints, Jeff suggests asking employees what they would tell a best friend over drinks about "how the place really works," rather than what's printed in the onboarding manual. The structural empathy trap. While designers champion empathy, leaning too deeply into a user's perspective can cause researchers to absorb the same invisible constraints that the target group can't see, effectively blinding the designer to the overarching social norms. Empathy vs. compassion in Rwanda. At the Kigali Genocide Memorial, the team challenged the default industry strategy of showing horror to inspire action. Brain research shows that witnessing suffering floods our pain circuits, causing distress, fatigue, and shutdown. By profiling ordinary heroes, they engaged the brain's compassion networks to cultivate the will to act. How success derailed NASA. Jeff discovered that 100% of interviewed NASA staff anchored their operational norm to JFK's 1962 "Moonshot" speech. However, waiting for a singular political figure to rally the public blinded the agency to the modern reality of private spaceflight, turning a historic triumph into a systemic roadblock.

The Architecture of Scale: Optimizing Conversion Funnels and CEO Mindset with Maggie PerotinIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Maggie Perotin, a premier business and leadership coach and the founder of Stairway to Leadership, to dismantle the operational inefficiencies and mental blind spots that trap high-achieving service providers in a cycle of constant overwhelm. Maggie, who also hosts the Diamond Effect podcast, specializes in guiding small business owners through the complex transition from frantic daily operator to a calm, highly strategic CEO. This conversation delivers an intentional blueprint for founders looking to optimize their conversion funnels, strategically deploy artificial intelligence, build high-performance sales teams, and scale revenue predictably without triggering executive burnout.The Systematization Paradigm: Structuring Conversion funnels, Automated Workflows, and Sustainable Revenue LaddersThe primary mistake made by scaling service providers is attempting to delegate fulfillment or hire an external sales force before verifying that the internal conversion pipeline is structurally sound. Trying to compress a high-ticket, consultative client journey into a brief fifteen-minute call inevitably creates severe process friction, resulting in low conversion rates and wasted marketing capital. Real-world scalability is achieved only when the founder takes the time to thoroughly map the client journey, document objections, and prove the baseline conversion metrics manually. Once these standard operating procedures are verified and running predictably, leadership can securely bring in and train commission-based representatives without introducing administrative chaos or diluting brand authority.Introducing an ascension model or lower-ticket entry offer can effectively lower the barrier to entry and accelerate immediate buyer trust, but it simultaneously alters the overarching cash flow cycle. Because clients must purchase, implement, and experience real value before climbing higher up the ladder, this method often extends the macroscopic sales timeline rather than providing an instant financial injection. To buffer these extended timelines, modern service businesses must leverage artificial intelligence as an operational force multiplier to automate repetitive, low-yield backend tasks like scheduling and initial data entry. By systematically training the internal workforce on vetted AI tools, an organization dramatically expands its fulfillment capacity while preserving high-level human judgment for crucial, relationship-driven touchpoints.True operational optimization ultimately demands a fundamental shift in executive psychology, moving away from a hyper-reactive state of chronic dissatisfaction toward clear, milestone-driven self-compassion. High-achieving founders frequently fall into the trap of constantly moving their internal goalposts, generating a toxic culture of burnout that inadvertently caps the growth potential of the entire labor infrastructure. Partnering with an objective advisory framework through a minimum six-month coaching commitment helps leaders eliminate this administrative anxiety and reclaim strategic control over their schedules. When clear internal metrics, optimized automated pipelines, and a calm CEO mindset are synthesized under a unified system architecture, a business successfully sheds its founder-dependency and transforms into a highly structured, self-sustaining corporate asset.About Maggie PerotinMaggie Perotin is a business and leadership coach, corporate strategist, and the founder of Stairway to Leadership. Drawing from extensive corporate management experience and an analytical approach to operational efficiency, Maggie helps service-based business owners break through growth plateaus and scale their revenue sustainably. She is the host of the Diamond Effect podcast and a dedicated mindset advisor focused on helping executives eliminate operational overwhelm and establish absolute strategic control over their organizations.About Stairway to LeadershipStairway to Leadership is an elite business coaching and executive development agency engineered to help small-to-mid-sized service enterprises streamline operations and maximize profitability. The consultancy specializes in sales process auditing, leadership development pipelines, and fractional operational structuring designed to remove the founder from day-to-day firefighting. Through customized minimum six-month coaching frameworks and highly practical productivity resources, Stairway to Leadership enables companies to scale safely while protecting executive well-being.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeStairway to Leadership Official Website: stairwaytoleadership.comMaggie Perotin on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/maggie-perotin-business-and-leadership-coachKey Episode HighlightsThe Price-Process Alignment Mandate: Engineering sales conversations to accurately match the core price point and respect the consultative decision-making timeline of high-ticket clients.The Sales Team Delegation Filter: Why keeping the founder on sales calls remains mandatory until conversion rates are proven, documented, and backed by repeatable scripts.The Extended Ascension Cycle: Navigating how entry-level lower-ticket offers build long-term buyer trust while naturally expanding the overall customer conversion timeline.Strategic AI Integration: Training internal teams to utilize artificial intelligence as a capacity force multiplier for administrative data tracking without sacrificing human oversight.Defeating Goalpost Syndrome: Shifting executive motivation away from fear-based exhaustion to cultivate a calm, milestone-driven CEO mindset that prevents systemic burnout.ConclusionThe conversation with Maggie Perotin underscores that sustainable business acceleration requires a balanced synthesis of structured workflow discipline and radical mindset mastery. By standardizing the sales funnel before building a team, layering in automated software tools thoughtfully, and fiercely protecting executive cognitive health, founders can scale their market presence while cultivating deep professional fulfillment.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Across the country, thieving squatters are staking claim to homes they don't own, and these professional trespassers are so sophisticated that when they are finally discovered, they know the loopholes that keep police from being able to arrest, and kick them to the curb! Dr. Phil will speak with Irma, a realtor who says it took 9 months to remove a squatter that she found living in a condo she had purchased. Find out why Irma says the civil and criminal court system protected the squatter more than it protected her -a man who was never identified or arrested. Dr. Phil will also meet Connor, who says it took him 2 months to remove an alleged female squatter he claims illegally moved into the 7-bedroom rental property he owned. Connor claims the squatter did more than just make herself at home, she attempted to prove that she was the rightful homeowner, and he was the criminal trespasser. Plus, Dr. Phil will speak with civil and criminal law attorney Donte Mills about how homeowners can protect their homes from being stolen by squatters.This episode is made possible with the support of our sponsors.Pure Blue Fish grows the freshest fish in the world.

WHAT IFWhat if you didn't need a tech background, a development team, or even a single line of code to build your own software? Kay Allen-Carr launched a working app in four hours and a full software company in 48. She's not a developer. She's a marketer. And she did it by stopping prompting AI and starting to partner with it — and now she teaches women entrepreneurs to do exactly the same.SUMMARY & GUEST INTROKay Allen-Carr is a data-driven marketer, owner of a seven-figure agency, keynote speaker, and the founder of KAC Marketing and Collab AI. After 15 years climbing from marketing manager to agency partner to business owner, she hit a ceiling — and instead of waiting for the next rung on the ladder, she built an entirely new one. Today she runs her business in roughly ten hours a week, has replaced almost all of her software subscriptions with tools she built herself using AI, and teaches women entrepreneurs how to stop using AI like a search engine and start using it like the business partner they've always needed. No coding required. No tech background necessary. Just a willingness to have a conversation.INSIDE THE EPISODEFrom the Corporate Grind to a Seven-Figure Agency. Kay started at Comcast, moved to an Inc. 500 startup, climbed to partner at a Miami ad agency, and then asked herself: what's next? She breaks down the moment she realized the ladder had run out of rungs — and what she did about it.5am to 8pm to 10 Hours a Week. Kay was a self-described perfectionist and control freak who would redo her team's work rather than trust it. She takes us through the honest before-and-after: the exhausting grind, the expensive senior hires, and how AI completely transformed how she runs her business — and her life.From Prompting to Partnering. The biggest mistake people make with AI isn't using the wrong tool. It's treating it like a search bar. Kay breaks down what it actually means to build a real working relationship with AI — one where you give it the end goal, not a perfectly engineered prompt, and let it figure out the plan.She Built a PR Pitch Tool in Four Hours. A fashion brand client needed PR outreach. Kay didn't hire an agency. She described what she wanted to her AI in plain language, built a working prototype, deployed it, and made it free for anyone to use — all for zero dollars and a few hours of her time. This is what's now possible.Give Your AI a Job Description. Kay's methodology for corporate employees and business owners alike: give your AI a name, a role, defined responsibilities, and access to your institutional knowledge. Stop asking it generic questions and start treating it like a new team member who needs to be onboarded properly — and watch the quality of output transform.Any Repetitive Task Is Fair Game. Marketing reporting. Sales call documentation. Bookkeeping categorization. Email triage. Kay walks through role-specific examples and gives listeners a simple framework: describe your repetitive task to Claude or ChatGPT like you're talking to a friend, ask what can be automated, and see what comes back.Follow Your Intuition. When Erica asks Kay what advice she'd give her former self — the Kay who was nervous to pivot from KAC Marketing to Collab AI — her answer is simple and worth sitting with: “I'm glad you followed your intuition.” AI is the internet of this generation. The people who ignore it will be the ones who said they didn't need a website.SPECIAL OFFER FOR LISTENERSKay is offering Glass Ceilings & Sticky Floors listeners 20% off any Collab AI membership tier (quarterly or annual) with code ERICA20.

The $28K Fort Worth Note with Massive Equity PotentialAre you looking for a real estate investment strategy that lets you step in as the bank, bypass the heavy competition, and capture massive equity for pennies on the dollar? Welcome back to our 50 Deals in 50 Days series! Host Scott Carson dives deep into a unique, low-balance nonperforming note opportunity sitting right in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. Unlike typical cash-flowing performing notes, this distressed asset features a jaw-dropping dynamic: a rock-bottom legal balance on a property that is absolutely bursting with equity. If you want to maximize your returns using your IRA, savings, or investment capital, this episode reveals exactly how a $23,000 entry point could yield anywhere from a fast 21% ROI to a massive six-figure profit. Key Topics Covered in This Episode:The Anatomy of the Deal: A look into the 3-bedroom, 1-bath property in Tarrant County built in 1953, featuring an incredibly low legal balance of just $28,000 against a fair market value of $195,000–$205,000. The "Rehab the Borrower" Strategy: How a simple loan reinstatement or double-payment structure could instantly skyrocket your ROI to 23% or even 46%. Navigating Texas Foreclosure Laws: Capitalizing on the fastest foreclosure timelines in the country to secure a quick cash return or take the property back as an REO. The Power of Cash for Keys & Deeds in Lieu: Creative exit strategies to avoid court, obtain the deed directly from the borrowers, and take total control of the real estate. Turnkey Rental & Owner Financing Options: Analyzing market rents ($1,700/mo) and leaseback structures to create long-term cash flow. Partnering and Scaling up: How to utilize small-balance IRAs or partner directly with Scott to fund and flip these high-margin deals. Multiple Exit Strategies, Maximum FlexibilityThe true beauty of note investing is that you aren't locked into a single path. With this Fort Worth asset, you can play the role of the benevolent bank or the savvy real estate liquidator. If the vacant property heads to auction, a third-party bidder might pay off the debt, handing you a quick $5,000 profit in roughly 60 days (an annualized return of over 120%). "The real profit lies not taking this property to foreclosure... but taking the property back. When you buy the note, you don't own the real estate. You own the debt. But buying the note, you become the bank." — Scott Carson If no one outbids you, the property becomes a real estate owned (REO) asset. Suddenly, you are in control of a ~$200,000 home for just your initial note acquisition and light renovation costs. Whether you choose to fix and flip, rent it out for $1,700 a month, or offer owner financing back to the marketplace, the safety net of a 14% loan-to-value ratio ensures your capital is incredibly well-protected. Conclusion & Next StepsWhether you are an experienced investor or completely new to the space, small-balance nonperforming notes offer an unparalleled way to outmaneuver traditional foreclosure buyers. You get to skip the crowded courthouse steps and control the asset months before it ever hits the public market.

Many churches default to the Sunday morning invite as their primary outreach strategy, but for a growing number of people, that front door feels intimidating before a relationship even exists. In this episode, Scott and A.J. walk through three practical "side door" approaches that churches can use to build genuine connections with their communities before ever asking someone to show up on a Sunday morning. Scott Ball and A.J. Mathieu are church health consultants with the Malphurs Group, a ministry dedicated to helping churches navigate revitalization and growth. Each week on the Church Revitalization Podcast, they bring practical, field-tested insight drawn from years of working directly with pastors and church leaders across the country. [0:38] Why the Sunday invite alone is not enough -- and the anxiety unchurched people feel about walking through the front door [5:24] Side Door 1: Community events and services your church organizes to serve people and build relationships outside the building [7:08] The "serve first, sell nothing" mindset that should shape every outreach effort your church pursues [9:48] Side Door 2: Having a consistent presence in third places where people already gather in everyday life [13:31] Side Door 3: Partnering with community organizations your neighbors already know and trust Free 7-Day Trial of the Healthy Churches Toolkit: https://healthychurchestoolkit.com Episode Article: https://malphursgroup.com/346 Facebook: https://facebook.com/malphursgroup Instagram: https://instagram.com/malphursgroup YouTube: https://youtube.com/themalphursgroup X: https://x.com/malphursgroup

The 7 Principles of Successful Partnering in the Age of AI Subscribe to our Newsletter:https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/Check Out UPX:https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this engaging session, Vince Menzione reflects on his extensive career transitioning from direct enterprise sales to building massive channel ecosystems, while unveiling the seven core operating principles essential for modern partnering. Highlighting tectonic industry shifts—from the PC and Cloud eras to the current AI revolution—Vince explains how traditional playbooks are becoming obsolete and why adopting a growth mindset, modeled by leaders like Satya Nadella, is critical for survival. He delves into the rising importance of hyperscaler marketplaces and co-selling, urging leaders to cultivate adaptability (AQ), emotional intelligence (EQ), and mutual trust to thrive in this rapidly changing tech landscape. https://youtu.be/5n8dqiamnmE Key Takeaways Traditional industry playbooks are outdated almost immediately due to the rapid acceleration of AI and market changes. Implementing a “growth mindset” is a foundational operating principle that can transform corporate culture and drive massive valuation increases. Executive commitment and clarity of vision are mandatory for aligning an entire organization around successful partnering. Building a strong brand story and maintaining a maniacal focus on OKRs turns strategic vision into executed results. The technology landscape has experienced massive tectonic shifts from the PC era to the Cloud, Mobile, and now AI, requiring high adaptability (AQ). Mutual trust remains the non-negotiable foundation for any successful professional relationship or partnership. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins. Key Tags Vince Menzione, growth mindset, Satya Nadella, channel building, tech ecosystem, tectonic shifts, AI revolution, co-selling strategies, hyperscaler marketplaces, organizational alignment, executive commitment, OKRs execution, AQ strategy, mutual trust, B2B technology Transcript [00:00:00] Vince Menzione: Because I think we’re all paralyzed by AI and all the changes that are going on in our world, and playbooks are no longer good because they’re outdated the week after they come out. [00:00:12] Vince Menzione: We just came back from Ultimate Partner live in Bellevue, Washington, where we hosted incredible leaders for two amazing days. Come join us for this next session where we explore the tectonic shifts we’ve all been seeing. What a list. Oh my gosh. I gotta tell you, I was just going back this morning and, and looking to see first of all the number, the sheer number is incredible. [00:00:36] Vince Menzione: But look at, look at all these top executives. These are, these are like market movers. The game changers. These are people that are doing more in our world, in our ecosystem than most others. And we are very fortunate to have the representation from these organizations. From these leaders in the room, and we try to curate an event that is more than a, a sales pitch. [00:01:00] Vince Menzione: We’re, in fact, we, we’re not a sales pitch. We’re all about, you know, helping you achieve more. And we try to frame that around operating principles. So, uh, a little bit of a roadmap lately. I mean, this started out like how did we get here in like, maybe five spots along the way. But, uh, for those of you who don’t know me and my background, and I’ve had an incredible career, I’ve been very blessed. [00:01:20] Vince Menzione: I did a startup that we grew from 6 million to 125 million. Went public on the Toronto Exchange. I’m still friends with the CEO, by the way. Helped, helped him grow and exit that company. Uh, I then followed one of the leaders there to go do a turnaround with Golden Gate Capital, and we took that and that’s where I built my first channel. [00:01:37] Vince Menzione: I went from doing enterprise sales as a direct seller, direct sales leader, VP to then going to building a channel. During nine 11, uh, this company was selling rugged notebook computers. Our biggest competitor was not a US company, and I spent a lot of time on Capitol Hill. I met with several congressmen and senators at a time when people did that, and they talked to each other. [00:01:58] Vince Menzione: And, uh, I built a channel. I got its a GSA schedule, and I understood. So I understood intuitively, even from that point in my career, how to move, how to shift from direct selling to building a channel, building a business around that. We became the growth engine of the company. One of my partners was one of the largest defense contractors, general Dynamics. [00:02:19] Vince Menzione: They had the big contract if you were selling to the US Army. And I knocked down the door basically and said, you got a partner with us. And that’s how we got the relationship established. And they wound up buying us for like 10 x what Golden Gate Capital had had spun us out for. And then Microsoft recruited me. [00:02:36] Vince Menzione: And for almost 10 years I was the GM of public sector partner strategy. And so I was, I was there and we’ll talk about Satya and other things, but I was there when we started the cloud. I was there when we pivoted the business from the old model and working with OEMs and trying to, to do things a different way to the cloud and co-selling and things like that. [00:02:56] Vince Menzione: And, uh, had a great experience. And then when I left I was like, oh, I’m just gonna go work for another big tech company. I started a podcast. I had a friend who said, you should do a podcast on partnering. You know a lot about this more than you probably think you do. And almost 10 years ago, I started a podcast in a spare bedroom. [00:03:13] Vince Menzione: And you know, it, it was, it built a following and there’s a lot of work, by the way, people, a lot of people do podcasts today. It was a lot of work for those of you. I congratulate anybody doing that. Uh, I went back inside for two years because I felt like I needed to go back into a big corporate environment. [00:03:29] Vince Menzione: And then I left during COVID and I learned a lot being at a big corporation about how hard it was to partner. Like it’s still hard. I don’t know how many people in the room feel this way. I know, I know the numbers are much better and Jay will talk through the numbers, but it’s not easy and a lot of organizations don’t understand it. [00:03:47] Vince Menzione: And that’s what we talk about here and we try to help people to achieve more and how to, how to get that mindset in the right place. But anyway, so. We started, we started doing the podcast after COVID, it took off. We did an event. Uh, there’s actually four of the five people that did partner. We called it Partner Mastermind. [00:04:06] Vince Menzione: We did an event about four years ago, uh, separately. And that led to Ultimate Partner. And it’s a long, the long history in the last four years of 10 events, like it’s been an incredible blast. And I want to thank each of you for being along this, this incredible ride with us as we continue to grow and expand. [00:04:24] Vince Menzione: We’ve been doubling every year for the last four years and um, I feel very blessed to be part of this. So I did wanna spend a minute with you on this. I don’t like the drain this slide, but I do wanna identify what I believe are seven operating principles of what makes successful partnering. And you know, you might say there’s eight, you might say there are other things I think about principles as opposed to tactics. [00:04:50] Vince Menzione: Tactics are transactional. They’re temporary and a point in time, and it’s how you respond and react to a situation. Principles are things you take with you, and that’s what we hope to do at Ultimate Partner. Take those things with you and then, then apply some of the things to the tactics that we need to have. [00:05:06] Vince Menzione: And so we talk about growth mindset. Uh, you know, depending on where you stand about Microsoft, these days, when this guy came in, stock was $36 a share. Okay. It’s in the four hundreds now. It was up to over 500 not long ago. He applied a different mindset. The first three things he did, Le got a copy of Carol Dweck’s book about mindset. [00:05:28] Vince Menzione: Growth mindset versus fixed mindset. Uh, he brought in Dr. Michael Vet, who’s a leading sports psychologist, like in, in the industry, who was the Seattle Seahawks sports psychologist. Mike’s been a podcast guest of mine. I’ve been to his studio. Um, and then he, we, he, he changed, he, he brought down, he took down the walls of the way Microsoft operated because leaders fought with each other. [00:05:51] Vince Menzione: They competed with each other for resources, for monetization, for everything. And he changed the mindset. Nobody’s a perfect CEO, but if I was to say to you who I think the best CEO of the last 10 years were, I’d give it to Saja Nadella, but it’s about mindset. It’s about changing or having the right mindset and applying that growth mindset to a successful partner. [00:06:12] Vince Menzione: Executive commitment, I talked about that. Other organizational will go nameless, but if you don’t, you can have the CEO down to the selling floor. Everyone needs to speak partnering, like in order to get it right in an organization. The whole company, the resources, the investments, the alignment, all has to align around partnering. [00:06:32] Vince Menzione: Executive commitment is incredible. Tony Saan took a small MSP to a half a billion dollar exit, took them to go, uh, Google Partner of the Year, seven straight years in a row. I think they’re eight this year. Uh, but Tony’s a good friend of mine. He is also been a guest on the podcast and, uh, somebody I’ve admired and worked with. [00:06:50] Vince Menzione: This is Dr. Michael Dravet. We talk about clarity, like once you get your mindset, once you get executive commitment, you then need to determine like how, what’s the vision? How do we drive success together? You need to turn, you need to know internally how to go do that. Then you lock arms with another organization and then you apply it to that partnership. [00:07:10] Vince Menzione: So that’s incredibly critical. Then, then you gotta do everything right? Like I always kid around about my days at Microsoft, we’d have these incredible meetings with leaders. They’d come meet with us at partner conference. I would literally go back to back for several days in the room. Slide deck after slide deck. [00:07:27] Vince Menzione: We’re high fiving at the end. [00:07:29] Vince Menzione: We’re gonna go do it [00:07:31] Vince Menzione: six months later. Crickets. Nothing happens, right? This happens a lot in partnering. Unfortunately, like we, we set up the right situation. We line everybody. We’re gonna go execute, we’re gonna drive results. You have to apply maniacal, focus, OKRs, everything to everything you do. [00:07:48] Vince Menzione: You need to apply. And by the way, you’re gonna hear from a lot of leaders here that do this type of work. So this is incredibly, uh, critical to success, brand and story. Like I wanna work with Microsoft. There’s gonna be probably 40 plus Microsoft leaders in the room, some of ’em sitting here and around the room. [00:08:06] Vince Menzione: How do you do that? Right? This is Ducks Raymond S. Good friend of mine at Point. I knew at point when they were just starting out. Scott Sackett is here. He’ll be up on stage. Uh, this man was expert on brand and story. Learn from people that are successful, how to be successful yourself, if you wanna be a top partner, if you wanna grow your business, whether you’re working with Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or any of the other partners in this room. [00:08:30] Vince Menzione: You need to be very clear about your brand, articulate it well, and drive a story against that. And that’s really super critical for success. And then once we do all those things, we start driving a flywheel of success. Aaron Feiger and some of the other people in the room, Reese Barry, are gonna be talking about how they do that. [00:08:47] Vince Menzione: They will help these organizations be successful. Pick putting that stake in the ground and driving it. And then what happens is after you drive this incredible success, what does my partner do? My tech giant, the company I’ve been working with, they go change everything. The market changes, the dynamics change. [00:09:05] Vince Menzione: This thing in November of 2022 called AI Happens, Chad, GBT hits the market. How do I respond and react to that? I need to be adaptable. I need to drive an AQ strategy on top of my EQ and iq, and we’ll talk more about that. So these are the operating principles, and we lay it out as a, as a diagram. And by the way, you see mutual trust. [00:09:26] Vince Menzione: Trust has to be in every room without trust, you have no partnerships, without trust, you have no business success. Like you can get buy in business, you can get buy in life, but trust is foundational. And I was very blessed to have that like grain ingrained in me as a young boy. Uh, so that’s our, that’s our operating principles. [00:09:48] Vince Menzione: Um, I’m working on a book right now. It’s almost done though. We’re, we’re talk, we’ll talk about that more, but that’s, that’ll be in the book. Um, and then we’ve been talking about tectonic shifts and I don’t know who said it first, Jay or, or me, but I know who you said it in the studio several years ago. [00:10:04] Vince Menzione: Jay’s been in our, our Boca studio many, many times. But we’ve been talking about tectonic shifts and Oh my gosh, right? So think about, I want everybody to think about this for a second. If you’ve been around tech for a while. We’ve gone through several, like these 10 year phases, the PC era, the cloud era, the well, the cloud. [00:10:23] Vince Menzione: We had client server, pc, client server, we had cloud, we had mobile, and now we hit ai. Those eras all took a period of time, right? They didn’t happen overnight. Like there was a trend like five, six years, seven years, maybe eight years, and then COVID happened, and I believe that COVID was the acceleration point because. [00:10:44] Vince Menzione: We were all forced to do things we didn’t do before. People went out and bought PCs that didn’t have them. Kids had to learn from home. Healthcare was administered tele telehealth, we didn’t do telehealth before. We had like 5% of the population to telehealth before that, uh, our work environment changed, right? [00:11:02] Vince Menzione: We were doing Zoom calls or teams calls back when I was at Microsoft Days, but the world started doing it. Our life started to change. That’s why being in the room places like this is so important. And so that really has accelerated everything. And this, you know, all these things have been accelerating over time and these are significant shifts. [00:11:22] Vince Menzione: We have the three leaders of the three marketplace organizations coming on stage here. Uh, the three hyperscalers, because marketplace went from, we were talking about it like, this is really cool. You need to go do it. A few years ago. So Microsoft lowering the rates on it, and then everything changed and then everybody started accelerating and it became the fungible token. [00:11:43] Vince Menzione: ’cause we used to, we used to partner, we used to take spreadsheets and put ’em up against each other and try to figure out deals and fax copies of deals that came in and say, we want credit for this one. And then Marketplace became a way to create a fun non fungible token. And really drive your success. [00:11:59] Vince Menzione: And so we have all the leaders that are running marketplaces in this room, by the way. So this is gonna be like the most incredible rich conversation. Co-selling. Co-selling is a, you know, a non-starter day. You have to co-sell it. People, we used to do vendor channel, which means I had somebody selling my stuff that’s not happening anymore. [00:12:19] Vince Menzione: And Jay, we’ll talk about the seven seats at the table. But this is all, these are all the things that have been changing. And of course, ai. I think that we are sitting here and I, I, I’ll share, and I’m stressing this, like this is, you need to be in this room because you’re gonna hear from leaders about what the next steps are. [00:12:35] Vince Menzione: ’cause I think we’re all paralyzed by AI and all the changes that are going on in our world and playbooks are no longer good because they’re outdated the week after they come out. So I need to, I need to follow this in real time. I think this is super important that you do, and it’s why we exist and it’s why this time is like no other. [00:12:53] Vince Menzione: I think, you know, we said maybe a generation, maybe it’s a lifetime in terms of the shifts that we’re seeing. So I, I kind of started here and I wanted to end here, uh, just because the light doesn’t go out. That’s what it’s all about. And this is it. This is it for me, right? This is my, my last run. I’m not gonna go work for a company after this. [00:13:16] Vince Menzione: I’m not gonna go into become a consultant. And I want this truly to be like special. And I want you to all feel like you’re part, you are part of it, and however much you wanna lean in and be part of it in the future, we want to grow this in the right way. I, I feel that we have an a unique opportunity. [00:13:34] Vince Menzione: Because we’re not a vendor, we’re not selling anything. I feel like we’re a platform. We’re that we’re that lighthouse and others can come in that are experts and I feel like more and more of ’em are showing up. And you know, the PDG guys did a great job today and others in the room and people that have been friends and supporting us for for years as on that sponsor slide. [00:13:56] Vince Menzione: And so we just want to continued this journey with each of you. Um, and so I want your feedback on what we’re doing. I want, I love your support. I love your passion. I love the fact that you’re still here in the room talking with, with or being here, listening to me today. Um, this is, that lighthouse is, you can see these pictures. [00:14:15] Vince Menzione: These are all family photos. Um, we go to that lighthouse, not because it’s a lighthouse, but uh, it happens to be like a landmark in our town. And, uh, it’s kind of cool. And actually the re Joe Namath has owns the restaurant across from the lighthouse, so we, we’ve got to see him a couple of times, which is kind of cool. [00:14:34] Vince Menzione: But I, I, I, I was posting this lighthouse when I started the podcast. And I was, yeah. ’cause that’s where I live and it’s my hometown. And I think about Dakota Rings and I think about other things. But, um, this is what matters. This is what matters is helping others. And we all are gonna need each other in this world because AI is gonna change our lives. [00:15:00] Vince Menzione: And dramatically it’s, I I think this is a once in a lifetime thing. But I think having people that you trust and being in the room with others where you can learn and grow and adapt, adaptability is so important. So, um, analog is the new digital as my, my good friend Gary V now says. And I think there’s this huge opportunity around what we do as ultimate partner to help everybody reach their pinnacle to everybody. [00:15:26] Vince Menzione: Be the ultimate partner. And I want to thank you for coming. I want your, thank you for your support, friendship, love. And, uh, you’re just an incredible group. Thank you. [00:15:41] Vince Menzione: Until next time, we’ll see you in person. Hopefully at our next event.

We explore what may be the fastest-moving technological shift dentistry has faced in decades and why most practice owners are still underestimating how quickly the ground is moving beneath them. While many dentists are using ChatGPT to write emails, draft social posts, or answer quick questions, the conversation argues that's barely one percent of what's now possible. The discussion digs into the rise of agentic AI, autonomous systems that take action rather than simply generate responses. Blake and Shane break down how AI is moving past the chatbot stage and becoming a true operational partner, capable of running workflows, automations, data analysis, content creation, and the endless repetitive tasks that quietly eat hours inside a dental practice. They also tackle the practical side most people skip, like knowing which model to reach for, why connections and context matter more than clever prompting, and how to avoid drowning in half-baked projects. But they issue a clear warning. AI is not a shortcut around leadership, systems, or operational excellence. Dentists who lack clear workflows, documented SOPs, and defined outcomes will simply automate chaos. The practices that win won't be the most technically advanced. They'll be the ones with the cleanest systems, the strongest foundations, and the willingness to learn alongside a community of peers. Peter, Blake, and Shane also get honest about the loneliness many dentists carry as practice owners, the value of AI as a non-judgmental thinking partner, and why community matters more than ever during periods of rapid change. They share real examples of AI already saving hours every week, helping teams execute faster, and creating leverage that simply wasn't possible a few years ago. If you've been experimenting with AI but still feel like you're using a fraction of its potential, this one is for you. This episode leads into the first-of-its-kind AI workshop on Sunday, August 9th at The Phoenician, held on the heels of the Bulletproof Summit. DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 444 HOST: Dr. Peter Boulden GUESTS: Blake McClellan and Shane McElroy (All In Practice Growth) In this episode, Dr. Peter Boulden sits down with Blake and Shane to discuss the future of AI in dentistry and why the next wave of innovation is about far more than chatbots and content creation. They explore agentic AI, workflow automation, SOP development, practice efficiencies, and the role community plays in helping dentists stay ahead of rapid technological change. The conversation provides practical examples of how AI can create leverage inside a dental practice while highlighting the common mistakes many practice owners make when implementing new technology. Whether you're just getting started with AI or already experimenting with advanced tools, this episode offers a practical roadmap for understanding where the technology is headed and how to position your practice for the future. TAKEAWAYS AI is evolving far faster than most dentists realize Community accelerates learning and implementation Agentic AI goes beyond chatbots by taking action, not just generating responses SOPs and workflows are the foundation of successful AI adoption AI cannot replace clarity, leadership, or operational discipline The best use cases often involve saving time on repetitive tasks AI can help practices create leverage without sacrificing quality Dentists should focus on outcomes rather than chasing every new tool Workflow mapping makes automation significantly more effective AI can become a powerful thinking partner for practice owners The future belongs to practices that combine human connection with technological efficiency Small improvements compounded over time can create significant competitive advantages TIME STAMPS 00:00 Introduction & Why AI Matters Right Now 02:10 The Origin of the Dental AI Summit 03:31 Why Community Is the Key to AI Adoption 04:45 Partnering with Bulletproof to Bring AI to Dentistry 06:00 AI Is Evolving Hour by Hour 07:49 The Difference Between AI Curiosity and AI Implementation 08:45 From AI Novelties to Real Practice Applications 11:04 Creating Leverage Inside Your Practice 13:10 Why Most Dentists Don't Know Where to Start 14:13 Days in AI Equal Months Ahead 17:42 The Biggest Opportunity for Dental Practices 20:06 Real-World AI Use Cases in Dentistry 22:08 Chatbots vs. AI Agents 24:35 How to Choose the Right AI Tools 26:24 Common Mistakes Dentists Make With AI 30:15 Context, Data, and Better AI Results 34:52 Innovative AI Applications You Can Use Today 45:15 Why SOPs Matter More Than Prompts 47:18 Mapping Workflows Before Automation 50:27 Using AI as a Product Manager 51:26 The Lone Wolf Syndrome in Dentistry 53:25 AI as a Coach, Mentor, and Thinking Partner 56:44 Practical Steps for Embracing AI 01:00:42 The Future of AI in Dentistry 01:02:08 Preparing for the Dental AI Summit 01:05:00 Final Thoughts & Event Details   REFERENCES Dental AI Summit Claude AI Grok AI OpenClaw AI Bulletproof Practice Growth Summit

Between them, John Kinsel and Dusty Turner lost 59 years. John went in on a child's testimony that the child herself recanted under oath in open court ...and still sat in that Louisiana prison for 19 more years while the system looked the other way. Dusty went in because his swim buddy committed a murder, blamed him for it, and then confessed on tape in 2002. A judge declared Dusty innocent in 2008. The state appealed two days later. Tonight, for the first time, Dr. Phil talks directly to John... the prison never allowed it before. And he follows up with Dusty, who walked out in March and was back behind bars six weeks later on a parole violation he says was an honest mistake. These two men missed 9/11, iPhones, social media, streaming ...nearly everything that defines modern life. What they're finding out now is that surviving the system was only half the battle. Jason Flom is back, too because this fight doesn't end at the prison gate.This episode is brought to you by; The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

John Gravelyn spent most of his career in engineering, managing technical launches at Ford and then Rivian. He grew up wanting to work on cars, but after buying his first house he realized he loved ownership more than the cars themselves. After succeeding at Rivian and later being laid off, he launched his own company, First Principles Partners, where he helps engineers and other analytical professionals approach real estate the way they approach engineering problems. Based in central Michigan, John builds deal-analysis tools and calculators that help investors evaluate properties, and he coaches clients to stay in their analytical strengths while partnering out negotiation and management.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Treat real estate like an engineering problem, then partner out the rest Stay in your strongest lane and let others negotiate and manage Learn to delegate early, because leverage beats doing everything yourself Hire fast, fire fast, and keep working the relationship after the hire Get comfortable operating in the gray areas of deals     Topics From Automotive Engineering to Real Estate John spent his career in engineering, working at Ford and then Rivian Buying his first house showed him he loved ownership more than the cars Why an Engineering Mind Is Drawn to Real Estate Every property is variable, unlike automotive work built to cut variability That uncertainty makes real estate a bigger, more interesting problem to solve Building First Principles Partners After Rivian, John got his real estate license to help analytical people invest He helps engineers buy a first home, then scale into owning more property Growth turned out to be more of a marketing challenge than he expected Shifting from Engineering Rules to Investing Reality In engineering a number is fixed, but in deals terms are negotiable Showing clients the numbers and probabilities helps them act in the gray areas Analysis, Acquisition, and Management Analytical investors should own the analysis and avoid negotiating emotionally Partnering with an agent and operators keeps their time on their strengths Learning to Delegate and Leverage Moving into engineering management forced John to delegate and influence Being the central point of a vision creates more leverage than doing it all He frames this as the who not how principle Vetting and Working with Partners John runs an initial vetting, then relies on hiring fast and firing fast He treats partnerships as dynamic and keeps improving the relationship He has been burned, but believes most people want to work with good people    

My guest today is Dara Khosrowshahi, the CEO of Uber. Before Uber, Dara ran Expedia for thirteen years. We start with why he took this job in 2017, and a big part of that story is Daniel Ek, who told him that life is not about happiness, it is about impact. We talk about what the chaos felt like on day one, and how his family leaving Iran when he was nine shaped the way he handles pressure today.  We spend most of our time on autonomous vehicles and Uber's role as the demand aggregator in a world of physical AI. Dara explains why Uber is a supply-led company, what it will take to win, and why he expects many winners in AVs rather than one.  We also discuss Uber's $10 billion in free cash flow, the push toward a single app for everything, and what he has learned from Allen & Co, Barry Diller and Reed Hastings.
