In this episode, Liz Hutson, Principal Consultant and Owner at EGH, LLC, joins Scott Becker to explore the often-overlooked “middle” phase of projects and businesses.

Running an agency can feel like shouting into the void—hours spent on content, pitch decks, and proposals that never land. It's frustrating when you know you're good at what you do but can't seem to cut through the noise. A lot of the time, it's not about effort—it's about missing the mark on what really speaks to the people you want to work with. Without that connection, growth stays slow no matter how hard you push. Bill Rice is a FinTech marketing expert with 20+ years in sales strategy and a background as a U.S. Air Force officer. He now runs Bill Rice Strategy, helping startups grow through smart lead generation. Today, he breaks down how FinTech companies can connect with customers by focusing on relatable content, using AI to assist (not replace) creativity, and building personal brands that earn trust. His approach is clear: be human, be strategic, and stay authentic. Stay tuned!

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ • • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Tom Netting, president of TEN Government Strategies and a trusted Washington insider, returns to provide a critical update on sweeping federal changes affecting higher education. In conversation with Drumm McNaughton, he breaks down the Trump administration's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, a move that's already led to major staff reductions and the redistribution of responsibilities across other federal agencies. Key Discussion Points Structural Overhaul of the Department of Education: Nearly 50% of ED staff have been laid off, including in core offices such as Federal Student Aid and the Office for Civil Rights. Regional participation offices have been shut down, leaving institutions without direct support contacts. The shift of student loan collections to the Small Business Administration signals an unprecedented reorganization of oversight. Title IX and Civil Rights Rollbacks: The Supreme Court overturned Biden-era Title IX rules, reinstating Trump-era standards. Protections for transgender students and DEI-related compliance structures are being reversed or defunded. OCR layoffs jeopardize ongoing investigations and reduce institutional support. Policy Enforcement Through Funding Threats: Columbia University's $400M in federal funding was withheld and later restored after accepting federal conditions, including police authority to arrest student protesters and the appointment of an academic overseer. These enforcement tactics set a new precedent, raising concerns about academic freedom and governance. Student Loan Crisis and Risk Exposure: Delinquency rates are reportedly spiking, with internal policy discussions suggesting 70–80% of borrowers may be behind. Institutions face growing exposure as default risks rise, with potential Title IV eligibility consequences. Risk-sharing legislation and budget reconciliation proposals could place financial liability on colleges for unpaid loans. Governance, Autonomy, and Institutional Strategy: Boards must take a more active role in navigating federal restructuring and enforcement trends. The implications go beyond compliance—federal funding is increasingly tied to campus culture, policy, and speech. Strategic responses now require governance-level attention to protect institutional mission and integrity. Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leaders and Boards Reassure students that aid is still available and prepare them for repayment obligations now managed under new federal structures. Support compliance and financial aid staff as they navigate the loss of regional ED contacts and fast-changing guidance. Re-evaluate governance-level policies on Title IX, DEI, and civil rights to ensure legal alignment and institutional resilience.

His considerable background and experience have afforded him the opportunity to view the development and implementation of federal higher education and workforce development policy in their entirety – including issues related to higher education and workforce development, health care, veteran affairs policies, and the procurement of federal appropriations.

In the episode, we chat with Adrian Dance, Principal Consultant at SRK Consulting, an independent and international multi-disciplined mining consultancy focused on providing advice and solutions to clients, mainly in the earth and water resource industries. They offer services from exploration to mine closure and are specialists and leaders in fields such as due diligence, technical studies, mine waste and water management, permitting, and mine rehabilitation. Adrian’s expertise is in metallurgy and mineral processing and he's worked for the likes of Mount Isa Mines, Highland Valley, and Bisha Mining before joining SRK back in 2010 and is going to be talking about technology in mineral processing, using XRT over traditional sorting methods, AI, SRK’s partnership with Base Metallurgical Labs and why grade engineering plays a critical role in resource extraction. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mining industry is slow to adopt new technologies, which can significantly improve efficiency and processing. Embracing advancements like X-ray transmissive sensing (XRT) and AI can lead to better decision-making and operational flexibility. Implementing pre-concentration techniques to reject waste material early in the processing stage can enhance the economics of mining operations. This approach allows for the removal of waste before it enters the processing plant, reducing costs and environmental impact. The concept of grade engineering emphasises the need to actively manage and improve the quality of ore being processed. By utilising various techniques, such as differential blasting and sorting, mining operations can optimise the value extracted from their resources. Future mining operations will require more flexible processing systems that can adapt to the variability of incoming material. This includes the ability to make real-time adjustments based on the characteristics of the ore being processed. There is a need for the mining industry to break down silos between different disciplines. By fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, companies can improve overall efficiency and innovation in mining practices. BEST MOMENTS "What we really need to be considering now more than ever is improving the quality of the material coming in to really improve the economics." "We are losing expertise; we are not really getting a lot of traction of people coming to the industry." "If you take somebody outside of the mining industry and say, we're going to process 99.999% waste to get to that .001% valuable, someone would say, check your head." "The biggest thing we want to do is to avoid people from shooting themselves in the foot with this technology."

Enrollment marketing strategy is no longer optional—it's essential for institutions looking to grow in a competitive, high-cost digital environment. In this episode, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Max DesMarais, CEO of Vital, about how colleges and universities can use data, content strategy, and full-funnel marketing to improve student recruitment and ensure academic offerings align with demand. Building an Effective Enrollment Marketing Strategy Validate program demand before launch using research, polling, and student behavior data. Use student-friendly program names that match what prospective learners are searching for. Treat marketing as a strategic function, not just an operational cost. Improving Program Visibility and Differentiation Define what sets your programs apart—and communicate it clearly. Avoid generic messaging; focus on outcomes, flexibility, and student needs. Promote content that supports early-stage decision-making, not just applications. Aligning Programs with Market Needs Adjust program format, pricing, and positioning to reflect real-world demand. Consider flexible tuition strategies and delivery models for nontraditional learners. Use community and employer input to shape offerings before they launch. Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Lead with Research – Don't greenlight programs or campaigns without validating student and employer interest. Invest in Full-Funnel Marketing – Build awareness and trust early to reduce cost per lead and improve conversions. Clarify Differentiation – Know what makes your institution unique and ensure it's reflected in every message. Institutions that align marketing, academic planning, and student insights will be positioned to thrive in a shrinking enrollment environment.

In this episode of the Well-Led Schools Podcast, I sit down with educator and behaviour specialist Bernii Godwin to explore what it truly means to love students on purpose. We discuss how building relationships rooted in respect, honor, and care can empower students far more effectively than control or punishment. Bernii challenges the common myths about student behavior management in education, including the idea that it’s a problem to be solved rather than a dynamic to be understood. Together, we unpack how fear and the need for control often shape the way we manage classrooms—and why shifting toward connection and skill-building leads to more meaningful, lasting change. In this episode, we cover: An alternative approach to student behaviour management that involves meeting them we’re they’re at on an individual level What loving your students actually means The roadblocks that prevent educators, or even parents, from respecting, honoring and caring for our students and children The guiding principles of loving your students on purpose and how the same can be applied to relationships with other adults The difference between behaviour management and behaviour education and why the latter is an effective approach to supporting students, staff and community How to maintain a healthy balance between respect, boundaries and loving our students Common misconceptions about student behaviour management An introduction to the empowerment model and how we can use it to empower ourselves and others Practical strategies that will enable you to love your students (and other humans) on purpose About Bernii: Bernii Godwin is the Director and Principal Consultant at Godwin Consulting, bringing over two decades of experience in the education and human services sectors. With a background that spans maternity to aged care, Bernii has developed a unique expertise in helping individuals, families, and organisations understand their needs and meet them effectively while respecting the rights of others. Since 2002, Bernii has worked predominantly in the educator sector, partnering with schools, children, and families to build internally responsible behaviour cultures that promote healthy boundaries, love, respect, and joyful responsibility. She has witnessed transformative cultural shifts in schools, moving from environments driven by fear and control to ones centered on love, trust, and empowerment.

80% of Champlain College graduates land jobs in their field of study—because the college designed its model to make students workforce ready. In this episode, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Alex Hernandez, President of Champlain College, about how higher education institutions can build their innovation muscle to realign academic programs with workforce needs and improve graduate outcomes. Building the Innovation Muscle Strategic planning is treated as an annual, living process—not a static document. Faculty co-design new academic models, driving institution-wide innovation. Innovation is embedded in culture, not dependent on top-down initiatives. Aligning Curriculum with Workforce Demands Champlain's Upside-Down Curriculum introduces major-specific coursework in year one. Students access internships early, building career experience before graduation. Programs are shaped by employer input to match real workforce needs. Leveraging Employer and Community Partnerships Industry partnerships inform curriculum and create pathways to employment. Dual enrollment initiatives like Vermont Cybersports expand access and impact. Regional collaboration addresses talent shortages and economic development. Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Clarify the North Star – Align planning and programs around a focused mission: preparing students for work, life, and impact. Focus Resources Strategically – Prioritize high-value initiatives and say no to what doesn't serve institutional goals. Build Institutional Trust – Innovation happens at the speed of trust. Engage faculty and staff in designing the future. Higher education leaders have an opportunity to evolve their institutions through intentional planning, faculty-driven innovation, and academic realignment that prepares graduates for today's—and tomorrow's—workforce.

Traditional sales tactics often fall flat in today's B2B landscape, especially when dealing with high-ticket deals. Buyers are more informed than ever, and outdated, pushy strategies only create resistance instead of trust.

Public Health Careers podcast episode with Dr. Yanica F. Faustin

In this episode, Liz Hutson, Principal Consultant and Owner at EGH, LLC, discusses the power of narrowing focus to achieve meaningful progress. She shares insights on overcoming “Quitter's Day,” building momentum, and prioritizing effectively to create a more impactful and productive 2025.

Dave Sobel engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Ryan Morris, Principal Consultant at Morris Management Partners, about the common myths surrounding sales in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) space. The conversation begins by challenging the notion that MSPs are inherently bad at sales. Morris argues that while many MSPs may struggle to scale their sales operations, they possess the foundational skills necessary to sell. He emphasizes that the entrepreneurial journey requires a blend of technical, operational, and promotional skills, which many MSP owners already have. The discussion highlights that the perception of MSPs being poor at sales is often an oversimplification and may stem from a lack of investment in developing those skills.As the conversation progresses, Sobel and Morris delve into the relationship between sales strategies and business growth. They explore how some MSPs choose to maintain a steady, owner-led sales approach, while others opt for a more aggressive growth strategy by investing in sales processes. Morris points out that the quality of sales is not merely about volume but rather about predictability and profitability. He notes that successful MSPs often have a well-defined sales engine that allows them to forecast revenue accurately, which is crucial for making informed business decisions.The discussion also touches on the evolving landscape of technology and the challenges MSPs face in adapting to new market demands. Sobel raises concerns about the potential obsolescence of traditional MSP services due to automation and artificial intelligence. He argues that as technology becomes more self-sufficient, MSPs must pivot their focus from merely managing existing systems to providing value-added services that address business challenges. Morris agrees, stressing the importance of understanding customer needs and delivering solutions that go beyond basic technical support.In conclusion, the episode emphasizes the need for MSPs to embrace transformation and invest in their sales capabilities to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market. Sobel and Morris encourage MSP owners to prioritize building relationships and understanding the psychology of sales, rather than getting bogged down in administrative tasks. By doing so, they can create a more effective sales strategy that not only drives revenue but also enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty. The conversation serves as a call to action for MSPs to rethink their approach to sales and adapt to the evolving demands of their clients.  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
