Most entrepreneurs think the hardest part of building a company is the product.For Jim McKelvey — co-founder of Square — the hardest part was the system around the product.Because Square wasn't just competing with other startups …It was competing with regulations, middlemen, entrenched networks, and monopolies designed to keep outsiders out.In this episode, Jim shares the mindset and tactics that helped Square go from a tiny card reader that processed credit card payments … to a company—now known as Block— that generates over $10 billion in gross profit.What You'll Learn:Why the market is often “locked” on purposeHow a simple hack can solve a seemingly complex problemHow candor can sway investors more than confidenceHow Square survived by building something Amazon couldn't copyTimestamps:00:12:26 – Engineering and art: Balancing an IBM job with glassblowing00:15:46 – The family trauma that rewired Jim00:36:26 – Losing a $2,000 sale — the moment Square was born00:43:06 – Breaking into the credit card club: “We were violating 17 rules”00:48:31 – The headphone jack hack that sidestepped Apple's control00:58:03 – The “140 reasons we might fail” pitch that won over investors01:06:26 – The taxi ride that convinced Jim he had product-market fit01:09:28 – Amazon attacks, and why copying doesn't always work01:13:18 – The founder's job after success: choosing hard problems***Hey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

If math learning goals are so important, why do they feel like a checkbox?Research tells us that learning goals are critical for effective math instruction—but in classrooms and professional learning, they've become compliance: restated math standards, chapter titles, or “I can” statements posted for visibility but disconnected from the mathematics of the lesson. The result? Task-based math lessons that feel unfocused, weak mathematical consolidation, and students who leave math class unsure what they actually learned. In this episode, Jon and Yvette explain why math learning goals are the glue that holds meaningful math instruction together—and what happens when they're misunderstood.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why math learning goals drifted from instructional clarity to complianceThe difference between a math performance goal and a true math learning goalHow math learning goals anchor task-based and problem-based math lessonsWhy poor lesson consolidation in math is often a learning-goal problemHow math learning goals guide teacher moves, questioning, and assessmentWhat it means to write math learning goals around big ideas and behaviors of mathematicsWhy educators need mathematical epiphanies to design better math learning goalsHow math learning goals apply to both classroom instruction and math professional developmentIf your system is struggling with math lesson consolidation, formative assessment in mathematics, or task-based math instruction, this episode will help you rethink math learning goals—and identify where math capacity-building work needs to happen.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Speaking honestly at work can create pressure and relational strain, especially when your nervous system prepares for impact. This episode explores why over-explaining isn't failure, but a signal of identity-level misalignment, and how steadiness begins to return.Many high-performing professionals know the experience of telling the truth while their body tightens first.The words are clear, but the chest constricts.The thought is steady, but the urge to explain takes over.Not because the truth is uncertain, but because the nervous system is preparing for how it might land.In this episode of The Recalibration, we explore what it means to speak honestly at work without bracing or over-explaining.This conversation is not about better communication techniques or saying less for the sake of efficiency. It's about understanding why capable, responsible people learned to manage impact in the first place, and how that strategy can quietly drain energy over time.Throughout the episode, we gently explore:Why over-explaining is often a nervous system response, not a communication problemHow the body tightens in anticipation of misunderstanding or relational disruptionThe difference between clarity and protection, and how the body senses it firstWhy reinforcement is not about mastery, but about helping the nervous system feel safe enough to stay presentHow internal authority begins to stabilize when truth is allowed to be simpleWe also name something many people feel but rarely say out loud: when you stop bracing and over-explaining, connection can feel awkward at first. There may be less immediate feedback, fewer cues that tell you how you're being received. That doesn't mean you're losing connection. It means the way connection is forming is changing.This is not mindset work.It's not productivity advice.And it's not about pushing yourself to be more confident.Identity-Level Recalibration works at the root, helping the nervous system and identity come back into alignment so honesty no longer requires protection.Today's Micro Recalibration:The next time you notice the urge to over-explain, pause and ask quietly:“Am I adding clarity, or am I bracing?”No fixing.No forcing.Just noticing the moment you usually rush past.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

If you're a product manager, founder, executive, or even an individual contributor navigating OKRs, AI, and innovation pressure, this episode of Career Sessions, Career Lessons offers a practical reframing of how great products and meaningful work actually get built.Host JR Lowry sits down with Radhika Dutt, author of Radical Product Thinking, to unpack why traditional goals, OKRs, and performance targets often do more harm than good in modern product organizations.Drawing from her experience as an MIT-trained engineer, startup founder, and product leader across industries, Radhika introduces an alternative: puzzle setting and puzzle solving. Rather than optimizing for short-term metrics, she says that the most successful teams spend more time in the problem space asking better questions, learning faster, and adapting intelligently.Together, JR and Radhika explore:Why OKRs and targets could kill curiosity and innovationThe difference between optimizing numbers and solving the right problemHow “puzzle-driven” teams outperform “goal-driven” teamsThe dangers of AI-driven “product slop” and what humans must do better than machinesLeadership lessons on delegation, critical thinking, and psychological safetyAI's impact on recruiting and cultureCheck out the full series of “Career Sessions, Career Lessons” podcasts here or visit pathwise.io/podcast/.

Most remodelers think leadership means staying involved in everything. If I don't touch it, it won't get done right. If I don't manage it, it'll fall apart.I used to believe that too. I honestly thought that if I didn't do it myself, nobody else could do it the right way. And that mindset almost capped the growth of my business.In this video, I break down what real leadership actually looks like in a remodeling business and why strong leadership is about structure, clarity, and systems, not control.I talk through:Why constant decisions coming back to you are usually a structure problem, not a people problemHow lack of clarity forces you to become the bottleneckWhy leadership is about clarity, not controlHow to stop being “the system” in your businessWhat it takes to build workflows, processes, and a management layer that actually worksIf everything waits on you, then you are the system and that's not sustainable. There's a better way to lead without being involved in every detail, and it starts with how you communicate expectations and define what “done” actually means.If you feel stuck managing instead of leading, this video will help you start making that shift.Drop your leadership questions in the comments, and make sure you subscribe for more content focused on leadership and growth in the home remodeling space.
Feeling stuck at the starting line of book publishing is more common than most authors realize.In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, the focus is on the real reason aspiring nonfiction authors feel overwhelmed before they even begin — and why trying to jump straight into writing, publishing options, or marketing is often what keeps them stuck.Instead of rushing into tactics, this episode reframes the starting point of the author journey around orientation before execution. It walks through the two foundational questions every author must answer before choosing a publishing path, building a platform, or writing a single chapter.Listeners will learn:Why “where do I start?” isn't a motivation problem — it's a context problemHow skipping clarity leads to overwhelm, comparison, and stalled progressThe difference between movement and meaningful progressThe two questions that quietly guide every successful author journeyThis episode is especially helpful for coaches, consultants, speakers, and thought leaders who know they want to write a book — but feel unsure how to begin without wasting time or making costly mistakes.
I would love to hear how this episode impacted you.Have you ever tried to think something through—only to feel foggy, scattered, or mentally stuck?That's not a lack of discipline. It's not overthinking. And it's not a personal failure.It's your nervous system under pressure.In this episode, we break down why clarity disappears when you're overwhelmed, why forcing calm or “thinking harder” actually makes things worse, and what truly restores clear thinking.You'll learn:Why overwhelm is a load problem, not a thinking problemHow stress temporarily shuts down logic and flexibilityWhy clarity cannot be forced—but can be invited backThe real order of change: regulation before clarityA simple grounding practice you can use anytime your mind feels overloadedThis episode is for anyone who feels stuck, reactive, or mentally exhausted—and keeps blaming themselves for it.You're not broken. Your system is protecting you.And once it feels safe again, clarity returns naturally.Support the showNew to Adam Henson Coaching? Start Here → https://youtu.be/HHLdVPMha10
If you're crushing it in your career, business, or family — but still feel uncomfortable in your own body — this episode is for you.After coaching thousands of women, Nikki has noticed a clear pattern: the women who struggle the most with fat loss are often the most successful everywhere else in life. Not because they lack discipline, motivation, or intelligence — but because their brains, bodies, and lives don't fit the generic weight-loss playbook.In this episode, Nikki breaks down the three biggest reasons high-achieving women struggle with weight loss, why common advice fails them, and what actually needs to change if you want results that last. From mindset and stress load to midlife metabolism and the trap of trying to “do it all yourself,” this is a grounded, no-BS look at why weight loss feels harder — and why nothing is wrong with you.This isn't about trying harder.It's about using a strategy that finally matches who you are.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why high-achieving women struggle with fat loss more than “average” dietersHow stress, responsibility, and mental load change the weight-loss equationWhy motivation and discipline are not your problemHow perfectionism and logic-driven thinking sabotage consistencyWhy midlife metabolism needs a different strategy than your 20sThe hidden cost of believing you should be able to do this aloneWhy knowing what to do isn't the same as being able to implement itHow simplifying fat loss (without dumbing it down) creates real resultsNext Steps
In today's episode, Meech kicks off February's “SELF” series with the truth nobody wants to say out loud: you can't talk about confidence, self-awareness, or self-love if you refuse to hold yourself accountable.This one comes in hot.Because accountability isn't about embarrassing people, tearing them down, or yelling just to yell. It's about owning your shit — the good, the bad, the ugly, and the part you keep pretending ain't yours.Meech breaks down:What accountability REALLY isWhy so many people avoid itHow “being a shitbag” became a joke — and why it shouldn't beThe moment he realized HE was the problemHow accountability raises your personal standardWhy everything in your life keeps falling apart when you don't accept your part in the messHow to actually start fixing yourself instead of blaming everyone elseUsing stories from his junior Marine days, personal failures, and the transformation that kept him from going back to Detroit, Meech explains why accountability is the foundation for every other form of self-development.If you've ever wondered why the same problems keep finding you in the gym, in relationships, in the Marine Corps, at work, or in life… this episode is the mirror you've been avoiding.This isn't about motivation.This is about YOU.New episodes every Monday.Stay locked in.

Why do so many goals fade the moment motivation wears off?We live in a culture obsessed with outcomes—targets, habits, milestones—but rarely stop to ask a deeper question: Who do I need to become to sustain this? If you've ever found yourself starting strong and slowly slipping back into old patterns, it's probably not a discipline problem. It's a character gap.In this episode, I explore why character—not motivation—is the real foundation of lasting success. We dive into how traits like resolution, adaptability, and resilience determine whether goals survive when life gets complicated, motivation fades, or progress feels slower than expected.This conversation isn't about setting better goals or pushing harder. It's about shifting your focus from what you're trying to achieve to who you're becoming. Because when character leads, follow-through becomes natural—and success no longer depends on willpower alone.Topics covered in this episode include:Why motivation fades—and why that's not a discipline problemHow character, not goals, is the foundation of long-term achievementThe three stages where goals usually get abandonedHow identity-based change makes progress easier and more sustainableA modern take on Benjamin Franklin's character-first methodIf you're tired of setting goals you can't seem to sustain, this episode offers a different starting point. Stop trying to force outcomes—and start becoming the person who naturally creates them.Resources Mentioned:Get The Book: https://book.neillwilliams.com/bookLearn More About TEAM90: https://neillwilliams.com/team90Book A Team Turnaround Call: https://neillwilliams.com/team-turnaround-callContact Us: support@neillwilliams.com
In this episode, Michele explores a powerful but often overlooked distinction that can make or break any meaningful change: strategy vs. tactics.Inspired by a coaching conversation with a client struggling through Veganuary, this episode unpacks why caring deeply—and even making a strong values-based decision—is often not enough to create consistent follow-through.Whether your goal is moving in a vegan or plant-based direction, improving your health, writing a book, changing your drinking, or following through on any important intention, this episode will help you identify what might be missing—and how to make change feel lighter instead of heavier.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between strategy (the “why” and identity-level decision) and tactics (the real-life actions that create movement)Why many smart, motivated people feel like they keep “restarting”—and why it's not a motivation problemHow having strategy without tactics leads to exhaustion and self-blameWhy tactics without strategy often feel brittle, artificial, or short-livedHow writer Steven Pressfield's work on “Resistance” offers a powerful parallel for vegan and lifestyle changeWhy support and accountability are tactics, not strategies—and how to tell if support is actually helpingWhat “good accountability” sounds like (and what it doesn't)How routines, defaults, and reflection can help you stay engaged when life gets loudMentioned in this episode:The War of Art by Steven PressfieldThe concept of “Resistance” and the idea of “turning pro”Veganuary and values-based changeStrategy and tactics as transferable skills for any life transitionListener reflection:Ask yourself:Do I have a strategy without tactics?Or tactics without strategy?Where might support or reflection make this change lighter instead of heavier?Subscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Leadership breakdowns rarely come from a lack of effort or care. More often, they happen quietly — through drift.In this final episode of the From Laborer to Leader series, Joey Brannon and Mike LoBue explore why leadership growth cannot sustain itself on mindset alone. Even the most capable leaders will default back to familiar behaviors when structure disappears.This conversation focuses on the disciplines that protect leadership over time — especially as pressure, growth, and urgency increase.You'll learn:Why leadership drift is usually a discipline problem, not a motivation problemHow lack of structure pulls leaders back into technical workWhy owners unintentionally slow leadership growth by failing to protect leadership timeThe role of consistent check-ins, clear expectations, and feedback rhythmsHow systems reduce exhaustion and make leadership sustainableWhy leadership development must be intentional — not assumedThis episode provides practical insight for business owners, executives, and leadership teams who want to develop leaders that can carry responsibility without burning out or drifting backward.Leadership doesn't grow by accident.It grows when mindset, structure, and support work together.Download the Episode 172 Leadership Guide to turn these disciplines into practical tools you can implement immediately.
AI is transforming education—but not evenly, and not easily.In this episode of The Catalyst, we step inside classrooms, school boards, and districts, navigating the AI revolution with tight budgets, limited staff, and high stakes for students. From fears around cheating and data privacy to confusion over licensing and unused tools already paid for, this conversation reveals what AI adoption really looks like in public education.Featuring educators, IT leaders, and policy thinkers on the front lines, the episode explores what schools are getting wrong, what's quietly working, and why the biggest barrier to AI in education may no longer be money—but people and readiness.You'll hear from:Drew Olsson, Director of AI & Instructional Technology, Agua Fria Union High School DistrictSophie McQueen, Resource Teacher & Board Consultant, Conseil scolaire ViaMondeJosé Antonio Bowen, Senior Fellow, AAC&U; Author, Teaching with AISandali Amunugama, Microsoft Education Specialist, SoftchoiceKey takeaways:Why academic integrity fears are masking a deeper relationship problemHow most schools already have AI tools they aren't usingWhat happens when AI costs drop—but training and trust don'tWhy meaningful adoption spreads teacher-to-teacher, not top-downThis episode is a candid look at what it takes to move forward when guidance is unclear, expectations are high, and standing still isn't an option.—Learn how Softchoice, a World Wide Technology company, helps public sector and education teams do more: softchoice.com/public-sector.The Catalyst by Softchoice is the podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection of humans and technology.
You ever think you're burned out… but realize you're just exhausted from being available to everybody but yourself?Yeah. That part.In this episode, I'm coming back from a short hiatus and telling the truth about why rest didn't actually feel like rest. It wasn't burnout. It was overextension.Too many conversations. Too much access. Too much proving love by showing up at the expense of my own goals.We talk about the difference between consistency and over-availability, how poor boundaries turn other people's urgency into your emergency, and why this season of building requires less access to me and more commitment to myself.This isn't about cutting people off.It's about finally choosing yourself without guilt.
You don't need more hours. You need your time to finally work for you.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Lissa Figgins, a scaling strategist for busy Christian women business owners, to talk about the lie most writers are quietly carrying: “I don't have time right now.”We get honest about what's actually happening when writing keeps getting pushed back—even when you're already productive, capable, and serious about finishing. Lissa breaks down why “time management” keeps failing high-achieving women and why time stewardship changes everything.This conversation is for the writer who's already doing a lot… but knows her book should be further along by now.We talk about:Why being busy isn't the real problemHow to stop letting distractions decide when you writeWhat it looks like to create a realistic, distraction-proof writing planHow to write consistently without waiting for a perfect scheduleIf you've been telling yourself you'll focus on your book after things slow down—this episode is your interruption.The Scaling Secrets of the Top 1% www.redeemhertime.com/hours Keywords: how to find time to write, writing consistently with a full-time job, time management for authors, productivity tips for writers, how to stop procrastinating on writing
Is There a Capital Squeeze in Agriculture?In this special live episode, Dan Aberhart sits down with Robert Andjelic to explore a question many producers are quietly asking:Is capital tightening around agriculture — and if so, why now?This is not a prediction episode and not financial advice.It's a first-principles conversation about how credit systems work, what lenders are responding to, and why agriculture is being affected indirectly by pressures elsewhere in the economy.In this episode, we cover:Why banks are under pressure — and why agriculture is not the problemHow commercial real estate, shadow banking, and regulation affect farm creditWhere we are in the broader economic and capital cycleWhy capital availability matters more than interest ratesHow agriculture differs from other asset classes during downturnsWhy preparation and clarity matter more than predictionRobert also shares perspective from decades of experience across commercial real estate, capital markets, and farmland investing — including why he believes agriculture remains one of the strongest long-term sectors, even as conditions tighten.This episode is Part One of a two-part seriesPart One: Understanding the capital environment and why this time is differentPart Two: What to do next — practical preparation, lender conversations, and positioningIf you operate a farm, ag business, or work closely with agricultural finance, this episode is designed to help you think more clearly about the environment ahead — without panic, and without noise.

No matter how thoughtful, flexible, or accommodating you try to be, you still end up feeling pushed, dominated, or worn down.In this episode, we explore what's actually happening when someone wants control, not connection. If your boundaries consistently create escalation instead of respect, this conversation will help you name the pattern and stop blaming yourself.You'll learn how control often disguises itself as care, why your autonomy can feel threatening to certain people, and how power dynamics quietly replace reciprocity in these relationships.In this episode, we cover:The difference between connection and dominanceWhy “trying harder” doesn't fix control-based dynamicsSubtle control patterns like decision hijacking, schedule overrides, guilt, and public pressureWhy boundary violations aren't misunderstandingsThe relief that comes from correctly naming the problemHow to take care of yourself without waiting for others to changeIf this episode resonates and you want support navigating difficult or draining relationships — while staying grounded in your self-respect — I share more about the Bold as Love Collective, an intimate coaching space for women who are done proving their worth.Links & Resources:→ Learn more about the Bold as Love Collective→ Questions?

What if you could detect heart disease before symptoms appear, before the first stroke, before the fatal heart attack, before the diagnosis? In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie sits down with Joseph Ence, founder of Vasolabs, to explore a powerful and underused cardiovascular screening tool.Most people think normal labs mean a healthy heart, but that's a dangerous myth.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
High performers often assume exhaustion comes from full schedules. But this kind of fatigue runs deeper. In this episode, Julie Holly explores burnout recovery, decision fatigue, and why identity-level recalibration restores energy without losing effectiveness.Why do high performers feel tired even when their life is full, functional, and objectively successful?Many high-capacity humans don't describe themselves as burned out. They describe themselves as busy, responsible, and always going. Their schedules are full. Their roles are demanding. And yet, beneath the surface, there's a persistent fatigue that rest doesn't quite touch.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores a rarely named truth: much of what we call burnout isn't failure or weakness—it's exhaustion from adaptation.When leaders, entrepreneurs, and high performers learn to regulate themselves around effectiveness instead of identity, their system adapts by staying “on.” Present at home. Braced with clients. Capable in leadership. Over time, this role-based regulation creates decision fatigue, role confusion, success fatigue, and a quiet sense of spiritual exhaustion—even in a life that looks “right.”This conversation gently reframes:Why burnout recovery often fails when identity drift goes unaddressedHow performance pressure creates internal effort most people never seeWhy success without fulfillment is often a signal, not a problemHow over-adaptation becomes exhausting—even when it once workedThe episode also highlights embodied presence through the example of Denzel Washington, whose grounded authority illustrates what strength without internal division can look like in real life.This episode is especially resonant for those navigating:high achiever burnoutdecision fatiguerole confusionperformance pressureidentity misalignmentspiritual exhaustionToday's Micro RecalibrationYou'll find this in the Recalibration Companion, but here's where to begin:What part of me learned to stay “on” — and what was it trying to protect?No fixing.

Chronic pain care is stuck—and definitions may be the reason.In Part 1 of this two-part series, we reset how clinicians talk about nociception and pain.This episode is a recording of a live interview with pain researcher and clinician Asaf Weissman, whose work explores the relationship between nociception and pain—and why confusion in the field creates real-world harm for patients.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “just semantics” becomes a patient trust problemHow mixed messages (“all in your head” vs “tissue damage”) derail careWhy “nothing is wrong with your body” is an overreachWhere neuroimmune processes may fit in chronic pain biologyWhy psychological interventions tend to show only modest effects on pain intensityHow clearer definitions could move research and practice forwardThis is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Here, we focus on the foundations—definitions, clinical frustration, and the biological plausibility behind what patients feel. Part 2 will go deeper into implications for treatment and the direction pain care needs next.Subscribe for Part 2.Join the Modern Pain Pro community.Enroll in Pain Practice OS.*********************************************************************

Most people think they're doing everything right when it comes to their health.Eating better. Working out. Taking supplements.So why do they still feel tired, inflamed, stressed, or off?In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, we sit down with a health educator who built a massive following by challenging how we've been taught to think about the body, disease, and healing.After suffering a life-changing health scare at just 21 years old, he went down a rabbit hole that completely rewired his understanding of health. What started as survival turned into a mission, and eventually a business that reached hundreds of millions of people online before being removed from major platforms.This conversation isn't about quick fixes or trendy health hacks.It's about questioning assumptions, understanding your body, and recognizing how environment, lifestyle, and systems play a bigger role than most people realize.If you've ever wondered why “being healthy” still doesn't feel like it's working, this episode will make you think differently.⚠️ This conversation challenges conventional ideas and may make you uncomfortable. That's the point.In this episode, we talk about:Why symptoms aren't always the real problemHow environment and lifestyle affect long-term healthWhat most people misunderstand about disease and healingThe moment that changed everything at age 21Why this message reached millions and then disappearedIf this episode made you think, drop a comment below.Subscribe for more conversations that help you see the game differently.Our Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
An atheist looks you in the eye and says, “There's just no evidence for God.” What do you say? In this episode, Joel Settecase exposes the “apologetics cycle of doom” and shows you a better way to answer the skeptic who keeps demanding “more evidence” but never seems satisfied. Instead of chasing objections forever, you'll learn how to flip the script using presuppositional apologetics, uncover the atheist's hidden assumptions, and bring the conversation back to the cross of Jesus Christ, where real transformation happens. If you're a Christian man who wants to lead your family, stand firm in a hostile culture, and give confident answers when atheists push back, this episode is your playbook.You'll learn:What the “apologetics cycle of doom” is—and how to break out of itThe one question you must ask first: “What do you mean by evidence?”Why atheism has a logic problem, a mind problem, and a world problemHow the atheist is trusting laws of logic, the human mind, and the orderliness of the world that his worldview can't explainHow Christianity uniquely grounds evidence, science, and rationalityA simple way to pivot from philosophy back to the gospel of Jesus ChristPartner with The Think Institute: Help us equip more Christian men to build a worldview legacy in their homes, churches, and communities.

In this episode, host Brendon Dennewill sits down with Bill Wilson, Founder and CEO of Pace Pricing and three-time software entrepreneur with over 20 years building and scaling SaaS companies. Bill shares how he evolved from software developer to pricing strategist after recognizing the deep anxiety founders face around pricing decisions. Through his work guiding hundreds of SaaS teams, he's discovered that pricing isn't just a numbers game—it's about alignment, belief, and understanding the jobs customers hire products to do.The conversation explores why pricing, product, and positioning cannot be separated, and how misalignment at the leadership level cascades throughout organizations, leaving money on the table. Bill unpacks his PACE framework (Profile, Architect, Calibrate, Execute) and explains why he shifted from pure data-driven decisions to building belief through iterative validation. He also tackles how AI is fundamentally reshaping SaaS business models, from enabling outcome-based pricing to introducing new cost structures that challenge traditional economies of scale.This episode is essential for SaaS founders, RevOps leaders, product executives, and B2B growth teams looking to unlock revenue through strategic pricing, eliminate cross-functional friction, and prepare their business models for an AI-driven future.What You'll LearnWhy pricing misalignment at the leadership level quietly becomes a company-wide problemHow the PACE framework brings structure and repeatability to pricing decisionsThe difference between solving a problem vs. executing a job to be doneWhy belief, not data, is the true catalyst for pricing changes and adoptionHow AI is accelerating the shift toward outcome-based pricing modelsWhy product, pricing, and positioning can't be separated, and what happens when they areThe single most impactful action a founder can take if pricing hasn't been reviewed in a yearResources MentionedPace Pricing PACE FrameworkJobs to be Done (JTBD)Bob Moesta April Dunford, author of "Obviously Awesome"HubSpot Intercom Is your business ready to scale?

We brought on Dr. Molly Lupo, DNP to talk more about the psychology of weight management, because let's be real… most women don't struggle with knowing what to do, they struggle with actually doing it consistently. Dr. Molly has her doctor of nursing practice and has been a nurse practitioner for over 12 years. She specializes in obesity medicine and helps her patients integrate medications with personalized care.Inside this episode, we dive deep into:Why mindset is the missing piece in most weight loss advice and why willpower alone is never the problemHow your thoughts shape your habits, cravings, and behaviors long before you even touch foodThe “hunger panic” loop and how to slow down impulsive eating with tools that actually workThe art of “diffusion,” which is a technique that helps you separate yourself from your cravings instead of obeying themMaking consistency a daily practice Navigating the upcoming holiday season with a weight loss goalConnect with Dr. Molly below:Website is hereInstagram is hereFor more information & to join the Confident Clinician check it out here!
