Stop the Stupid, Proactive Problem Solving with Doug Hall   Stop the Stupid, Increase Profits: Unlocking the Hidden Power of Proactive Problem Solving with Doug Hall Imagine running a business where your team is fully engaged, dumb processes are eliminated, and profits grow as a byproduct of operational clarity. That's not a fantasy—it's the Profit First future that innovation expert Doug Hall lays out in this episode of The Profit Answer Man. Doug has spent nearly 50 years innovating and coaching at the highest levels—from Procter & Gamble to launching his own distillery. Today, he's here to help you “stop the stupid” and start leading a high-performance, high-profit team. Doug isn't just talking theory. He's lived this transformation, and in this episode, he gives you the blueprint to build a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and scalable profit. Ready to turn your employees into proactive problem solvers? Read on…   In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why "stop the stupid" is more than a catchphrase—it's a profitability strategy. How Doug created cultural buy-in with frontline distillery workers and turned skeptics into profit generators. The #1 mindset shift leaders must embrace to get their team aligned with business goals.  A real-life system for transforming your business from chaos to clarity—without burning everyone out. The simple opening line that Doug used to flip disengagement into excitement (you'll want to steal this!).   Key Takeaways: Proactive Problem Solving Begins With the Frontline. Doug's strategy starts with fixing what employees already hate. When you solve their problems first—like back pain from poor equipment—you earn the right to solve your business problems next. Broken Systems Are Margin Killers. You're not losing profit because of the market—you're losing it because of inefficiency. Doug shows how identifying daily process friction is the first step to improving cash flow and boosting morale. Innovation Isn't Just Big Ideas—It's Fixing Dumb Stuff. We often chase grand strategies while tripping over small, solvable issues. Doug's framework filters ideas based on feasibility and ROI, turning every team member into a profit multiplier. Employees Don't Want to Be ‘Managed'—They Want to Matter. This episode explores how to lead with clarity, accountability, and trust. Doug shares how to train staff to think, solve, and take ownership—even if they're working the bottling line. Real Innovation Happens When Systems Support People. From Procter & Gamble to his own distillery, Doug explains how scalable growth comes from clear systems, engaged people, and leadership that empowers both.   Meet Doug Hall: Doug Hall, author of PROACTIVE Problem Solving, is the founder of Eureka! Ranch and Brain Brew Distillery. Named one of America's top innovation experts by Inc. and The Wall Street Journal, Doug has helped Fortune 500 companies and gritty entrepreneurs alike find, filter, and fast-track big ideas. A former Master Marketing Inventor at P&G, Doug brings an engineer's precision and a rebel's mindset to the business world. Fun fact: He's been awarded two honorary doctorates—for engineering and laws—for his game-changing work in business innovation.   Conclusion: Innovation Without Profit Is Just Noise If your team is disengaged, if systems are broken, or if profits are inconsistent—stop the stupid. You don't need more revenue to fix this. You need better alignment, smarter problem solving, and the courage to challenge business-as-usual.   Links: http://doughall.com http://eurekaranch.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doughallinventor/   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

“We made up the rules. Let's change them.” In this episode, Michael Dargie talks with innovation strategist, author, and rebel-in-chief Robyn Bolton, founder of Mile Zero and author of Unlocking Innovation: A Leader's Guide for Turning Bold Ideas into Tangible Results. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. From growing up outside Cleveland to almost getting fired twice at Procter & Gamble for asking too many questions, Robyn's journey is one of fierce curiosity, unapologetic honesty, and building real change inside big organizations. She shares how being “respectfully disruptive” got her in trouble—and eventually got her free. They dig into what innovation actually looks like in practice (hint: it's messy), the moment she realized rebellion was her calling, and how she finds calm in a world of chaos—through Lego building. She also talks about how leaders can use self-awareness as their greatest innovation tool, why pretending to be more radical than you are will backfire, and how her new book is a manual for real-world, no-BS innovators. From literary obsessions to modular buildings, this episode is a masterclass in leading with purpose, persistence, and a sense of play.

Why Follow-Up Is a Leadership Practice with Doug C. Brown Let's face it—“follow-up” doesn't always have the best reputation. It can feel pushy, annoying, or just like one more thing on your to-do list. But what if follow-up wasn't about pestering people… and instead became one of the most powerful tools you have to show care, build trust, and lead with integrity? In this episode, Dr. Mike Patterson sits down with renowned sales expert Doug C. Brown to reframe everything you think you know about follow-up. Doug shares why this essential practice is about more than just closing a deal—it's about strengthening relationships, delivering value, and showing others that they matter. About the Episode: Doug C. Brown, CEO of CEO Sales Strategies, brings over 40 years of sales leadership to the table. He's worked with brands like Tony Robbins, CBS, and Procter & Gamble, built 35 businesses, and helped generate over $900 million in sales. But at the heart of his success is a simple principle: effective, personalized follow-up builds relationships—and relationships drive results. In this conversation, Doug explains why follow-up should be part of every leader's toolkit. Whether you're managing a team, building a business, or simply aiming to serve others better, consistent and thoughtful follow-up creates connection, increases retention, and unlocks new opportunities. You'll hear real-world stories about how follow-up has led to massive referrals, strengthened loyalty, and even closed six-figure deals. Doug also shares how poor follow-up costs companies thousands (if not millions) and reveals how you can avoid those losses with just a few intentional habits. Key Takeaways: Follow-Up = Leadership: It's not about pestering—it's about showing respect, accountability, and care. ABR: Always Be Building Relationships: Forget the old ABCs of sales—lasting relationships are what lead to lasting results. Why People Don't Buy Immediately: Emotional, logistical, and trust-related factors often delay purchases—follow-up bridges the gap. Multimodal Matters: Effective follow-up isn't just about phone calls—it's texts, emails, handwritten notes, and more. Three-a-Day Rule: Want to change your business? Follow up with just three people a day. That's 1,000+ meaningful connections a year. Whether you're a business leader, a coach, or a team builder—this episode will challenge you to rethink how you engage the people around you. If you want to build stronger relationships, increase trust, and lead with more integrity, it starts with simple, consistent follow-up.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX A world-first human trial of a drug designed to treat the underlying cause of type 1 diabetes has begun in Australia. University of Queensland researcher Ranjeny Thomas said the experimental drug — dubbed ASITI-201 — was designed to retrain the immune system so it no longer attacks the insulin-producing pancreatic cells, known as beta cells. The drug, given as an injection under the skin, combines fragments of a protein found in the beta cells of people with type 1 diabetes and vitamin D to calm the immune response. She said if effective, the drug would initially be given to patients with type 1 diabetes as soon as possible after diagnosis to preserve remaining pancreatic cells and reduce the amount of insulin needed. But eventually, if screening programs can be developed to pick up people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, it may be possible to "prevent the progression of the disease altogether". The first in-human trial of 36 participants will test the safety of the drug, but blood tests will also determine the impact of the therapy on a patient's immune system and glucose tolerance. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-29/type-1-diabetes-drug-trial-auto-immune-disease-science/105223022 XX   Diabetes deaths in the U.S. have fallen to some of the lowest rates in years, according to new preliminary figures published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reversing a surge in mortality that was seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.   There were 26.4 deaths per 100,000 people from diabetes, according to early death certificate data for the third quarter of 2024 published this month by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.   Death rates from diabetes peaked in 2021, according to CDC figures, at 31.1 deaths per 100,000 people for that year. Diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in 2021. The CDC says the link between COVID-19 and diabetes may be to blame for that increase.   "Data show an increase in mortality rates for all people during the COVID-19 pandemic, and research shows that people with underlying conditions, including diabetes, are more likely to become very sick from COVID-19 and have a higher risk of hospitalization and death," Christopher Holliday, head of the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation, told CBS News in a statement.   Holliday added that research shows the pandemic may also have made it harder for Americans to properly manage the disease, ranging from interruptions to physical activity to disruptions to routine medical care diagnosing and treating the disease.   https://www.cbsnews.com/news/diabetes-deaths-lowest-levels-years-early-cdc-figures/ XX Big news for the Eversense CGM – they have their first pump partner. Sequel Med Tech says the twist pump will integrate with Senseonics Eversense 365 continuous glucose monitor (CGM). This collaboration would make twiist the first AID system compatible with Eversense 365, the world's first and only one-year CGM. Sequel and Senseonics say they have already started their work to integrate the latest-generation, 365-day implantable sensor with twiist. They expect to make the integrated offering available in the third quarter of this year. This marks the second CGM integration for Sequel, which partnered with Abbott and its FreeStyle Libre platform earlier this year. This week we also got a peek at the packaging and delivery of the twist as the first people posted about wearing it. We'll follow up and learn more about this newest insulin pump in the us. Senseonics, meanwhile, brought the first year-long CGM to market last year, launching Eversense 365 with its global distribution partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care, in October 2024. The system also received clearance as an integrated CGM (iCGM) system, meaning it can work with compatible medical devices. Those include insulin pumps as part of automated insulin delivery systems. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/sequel-senseonics-integrate-cgm-insulin-pump/ XX Medtronic has announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the Simplera Sync sensor for use with the MiniMed 780G system. With this approval, the MiniMed 780G system now offers more flexibility for users of the company's most advanced insulin delivery system featuring Meal Detection technology with both the Guardian 4 sensor and Simplera Sync sensor.   The Simplera Sync is a disposable, all-in-one sensor that requires no fingersticks with SmartGuard or overtape and features a simple, two-step insertion process. It is the company's newest addition to its CGM portfolio, which expands options and provides greater flexibility for users.   The MiniMed 780G system's adaptive algorithm automatically anticipates, adjusts, and corrects glucose levels every 5 minutes, 24/7 – working around the clock so users can focus on what matters. It's the only system featuring Meal Detection technology, which detects rising sugar levels and delivers more insulin as needed to help users keep glucose levels in range more often – even when users occasionally forget to dose insulin for snacks or meals or underestimate their carbs.   The system uses a “treat to target” approach and flexible glucose targets as low as 100 mg/dL, which, combined with its adaptive algorithm allows it to more closely mirror the glucose levels of someone not living with diabetes.   Real-world data of the system shows global users consistently achieve time in range above international targets of 70% when using optimal settings (active insulin time of two hours and 100 mg/dL target glucose). It is also the only system that works with the world's only infusion set that lasts up to 7 days so that users only have to change their infusion set once per week and can experience 96% fewer injections compared to multiple daily injections.   “We're committed to driving innovation that makes life easier for those living with diabetes so they can forget about their diabetes as much as possible throughout the day,” said Que Dallara, EVP and president of Medtronic Diabetes. “Our MiniMed 780G system delivers advanced diabetes technology for so many around the world, and we're excited to continue evolving this experience with expanded CGM options —including our Simplera Sync sensor, which we look forward to bringing to people living with diabetes in the U.S.”   A limited launch of the Simplera Sync sensor will begin in the U.S. in the fall of 2025. Today, the MiniMed 780G system can be used with the Guardian 4 sensor.   Like this:https://med-techinsights.com/2025/04/29/simplera-sync-sensor-for-minimed-780g-now-fda-approved/ XX Front office changes at Insulet.. The former head of Johnson & Johnson's worldwide medtech business, Ashley McEvoy will take over as president and CEO from Jim Hollingshead, who has led Insulet since 2022. In its announcement of the leadership change, Insulet said that Hollingshead and the company mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. McEvoy served as worldwide medtech chairman at J&J from 2018 until her departure in late 2023, the culmination of nearly 30 years at the company and several executive roles—including president of its Ethicon division and group chairman of vision and diabetes care. Since then, she has also served as a board member at Procter & Gamble. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/insulet-taps-former-jj-medtech-head-ashley-mcevoy-be-ceo XX New free mobile game launched this week to make type 1 diabetes onboarding faster easier and less overwhelming. It's called Level One.. created by Level Ex (Powered by Relevate Health), the studio behind award-winning medical games for medical professionals. Level Ex CEO Sam Glassenberg created the game after a – quote  - brutal onboarding experience when his daughter was diagnosed five years ago He says  It took a year to understand how to manage this disease. So we fixed it. We built a game that can train your brain to do it in a matter of hours." The game is launching in partnership with leading diabetes organizations Beyond Type 1 and Breakthrough T1D Play, who are integrating Level One into their outreach and educational campaigns to support newly diagnosed families worldwide.

As the most abundant protein in the human body, collagen provides essential structure and support to nearly all tissues and organs.   Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Feinberg Lab have made a major breakthrough using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique. This method enables the precise printing of soft, living cells and tissues. Leveraging this technology, the team successfully created the first-ever microphysiologic system, also known as a tissue model, constructed entirely from collagen. This advancement opens new possibilities for studying disease and engineering tissue therapies, including potential treatments for conditions like Type 1 diabetes.   Traditionally, small-scale models of human tissue, referred to as microfluidics, organ-on-chip devices, or microphysiologic systems, have been fabricated using synthetic materials such as silicone rubber or plastics. These materials were necessary due to limitations in earlier manufacturing techniques. However, because they are not biologically native, they fail to fully replicate natural tissue environments, restricting their effectiveness in biomedical research and therapeutic development.   “Now, we can build microfluidic systems in the Petri dish entirely out of collagen, cells, and other proteins, with unprecedented structural resolution and fidelity,” explained Adam Feinberg, a professor of biomedical engineering and materials science & engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. “Most importantly, these models are fully biologic, which means cells function better.”   Building Complex Tissues with FRESH Bioprinting In new research published in Science Advances, the group demonstrates the use of this FRESH bioprinting advancement, building more complex vascularized tissues out of fully biologic materials, to create a pancreatic-like tissue that could potentially be used in the future to treat Type 1 diabetes. This advancement in FRESH bioprinting builds on the team's earlier work published in Science, by improving the resolution and quality to create fluidic channels that are like blood vessels down to about 100-micron diameter.   “There were several key technical developments to the FRESH printing technology that enabled this work,” described Daniel Shiwarski, assistant professor of bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh and prior postdoctoral fellow in the Feinberg lab. “By implementing a single-step bioprinting fabrication process, we manufactured collagen-based perfusable CHIPS in a wide range of designs that exceed the resolution and printed fidelity of any other known bioprinting approach to date. Further, when combined with multi-material 3D bioprinting of ECM proteins, growth factors, and cell-laden bioinks and integration into a custom bioreactor platform, we were able to create a centimeter-scale pancreatic-like tissue construct capable of producing glucose-stimulated insulin release exceeding current organoid based approaches.” https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-bioprint-living-tissues-that-could-revolutionize-diabetes-treatment/ XX Another study showing the blood sugar benefit of walking after a meal. Skeletal muscle plays a central role in glucose uptake. Exercise stimulates glucose transport into muscle cells through insulin-independent pathways, notably through the action of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT-4), which is responsible for transporting glucose from blood to skeletal muscles.4 This means that even without a robust insulin response, physical activity can facilitate glucose clearance from the bloodstream. These effects also occur without requiring high-intensity exercise, making postprandial walking accessible to a broad range of individuals, including those with limited exercise tolerance. multiple studies show that starting activity within 30 minutes after a meal is optimal. https://www.news-medical.net/health/Walking-After-Meals-Small-Habit-Big-Metabolic-Gains.aspx XX Dexcom brings back Dexcom U for a 4th years. This is a name, image and license program for college athletes with diabetes and includes a nationwide open call for passionate and inspiring college athletes to join its roster. Now through May 23, athletes, coaches, friends and family members can nominate candidates through an online submission. Those selected, along with the eight returning athletes from last year, will be invited to attend the Dexcom U Signing Day Camp this summer, hosted by Dexcom Warrior and Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. https://www.hmenews.com/article/dexcom-u-returns-for-fourth-season

On May 8th, at Ford Motor Company's annual shareholder meeting, they will face a proposal focused on how they report their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on their way to being carbon neutral by 2050. The proposal was made by Green Century Capital Management, a sustainability-focused activist fund that regularly challenges recognizable companies about their emissions reduction efforts, using the threat (or promise?) to mount a shareholder vote if necessary. Companies like Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, and McDonald's have faced similar challenges, all intended to change how they manage their Scope 3 emissions. The Ford Board of Directors has advocated for shareholders to reject the proposal, saying it is unnecessary and expensive to create another report in addition to their Integrated Sustainability and Finance report. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers: The unique requests Green Century has made of these publicly traded companies in pursuit of lower Scope 3 emissions How these companies have responded to Green Century's ‘asks' and proposals The idea of reporting as a weapon in addition to being a tool for tracking and accountability Links: Ford asks investors to vote down supply chain emissions proposal Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

Στο 154ο podcast της στήλης Business & Marketing Tips της Athens Voice με τίτλο «Η βιασύνη στο μάρκετινγκ είναι μήτηρ δεινών» θα μιλήσουμε για το πότε πρέπει να πατήσετε pause στην επιχειρηματική σας καθημερινότητα.Όταν έρχεται η ώρα να παρθούν αποφάσεις στο μάρκετινγκ, οι προσεγγίσεις ποικίλλουν. Ορισμένες εταιρείες – με κορυφαίο παράδειγμα κολοσσούς όπως η Procter & Gamble – λειτουργούν με χειρουργική ακρίβεια. Εκεί, τίποτα δεν αφήνεται στην τύχη. Η κάθε καμπάνια, ακόμα κι αν αφορά ένα ξυραφάκι Gillette, έχει πίσω της ίσως και δύο ολόκληρα χρόνια προετοιμασίας, με ατελείωτα briefings, focus groups και πίνακες Excel.Στον αντίποδα, υπάρχει και η «σχολή της στιγμής»: ό,τι παίζει τώρα, το κάνουμε κι εμείς. Μόλις ανέβηκε trend στο TikTok με κάτι έφηβες που κάνουν lip-sync με φωνές που θυμίζουν συνδυασμό παλιού crooner και οδηγού νταλίκας; Τέλεια! Το προσαρμόζουμε για το άμεσα για την επιχείρησή μας.Αμ δε!Δεν είναι όλα «πατάμε record και ανεβάζουμε». Στρατηγική σημαίνει ισορροπία – και η ταχύτητα δεν σημαίνει απαραίτητα επιτυχία.

In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Charlie Chappell, Vice President of Innovation, Research & Development at The Hershey Company, to explore what it takes to innovate in one of the world's most beloved brands. Charlie's journey is nothing short of fascinating, from his start in R&D at Kimberly-Clark, earning patents for his work, to shaping iconic brands like Pantene and Old Spice during his time at Procter & Gamble. Now at Hershey, he's leading the charge to bring bold new ideas to life. Charlie opens up about the joys and challenges of innovating in the food and beverage industry, particularly in confectionery. We talk about the creation of Shackalicious, a gummy line launched in collaboration with Shaquille O'Neal, and how Hershey partnered with Shaq to bring his larger-than-life personality into a product that's flying off the shelves. Charlie also dives into the innovator's dilemma—how to embrace change, take risks, and adapt without losing sight of what makes a brand iconic. This conversation is packed with insights on navigating trends, identifying what's meaningful versus fleeting, and having the courage to push boundaries—even when it means some ideas won't work out. If you're curious about how legacy brands like Hershey stay ahead of the curve and continue to bring joy to millions, this episode is for you. Tune in for a sweet discussion filled with inspiration, lessons, and plenty of chocolate. Let's innovate together!

The Mentally Strong Leader   In this episode of Richer Soul, Scott Mautz, an acclaimed author, keynote speaker, and former Procter & Gamble executive shares powerful insights from his new book, The Mentally Strong Leader, focusing on how mental strength can be the leadership superpower that helps people overcome adversity and thrive in their personal and professional lives. The conversation touches on Scott's personal journey, the six “mental muscles” every leader needs, and the science behind building effective leadership habits. Key takeaways: Mental strength is the superpower that allows leaders to navigate challenges and lead with resilience. Cultivating mental strength requires building key habits that support confidence, fortitude, boldness, and clear communication. Leadership involves balancing confidence with humility to create an environment of trust. Reframing setbacks as learning opportunities strengthens mental fortitude. Leaders need to focus on long-term success and develop mental muscles that help them perform consistently. Money Learning: Scott shared his first major money lesson when he ran a pool-cleaning business as a high school student. He quickly realized that profitability hinges on a simple but often overlooked principle: your revenue must exceed your expenses. This early lesson in financial management taught Scott the importance of understanding costs and managing a business efficiently. Interestingly, Rocky pointed out that many adult business owners still struggle with this concept, underscoring the critical need for better financial literacy, both in personal and business contexts. Bio: Scott Mautz is the founder and CEO of Profound Performance, a keynote training and coaching company. He is a former executive at Procter & Gamble, where he successfully ran four of the company's largest multi-billion-dollar businesses. Scott is also a multi-award-winning author, with titles including Leading from the Middle, Find the Fire, and Make It Matter. Named a “Top 50 Leadership Innovator” by Inc.com and a "CEO Thought-Leader" by The Chief Executives Guild, Scott is dedicated to helping leaders cultivate mental strength. He is also a faculty member at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business for Executive Education and a top instructor at LinkedIn Learning. Key Discussion Points: Building Mental Strength: Scott emphasizes that mental strength is crucial for leadership, especially in today's fast-paced, high-pressure world. He introduces the concept of six “mental muscles” that leaders need to develop: fortitude, confidence, boldness, decision-making, goal-focus, and messaging. These are the pillars of mental strength, and they help leaders stay resilient in the face of adversity. Habit-Building Science: One of the key elements of Scott's approach is the idea of habit-building science. He explains how habits can shape behavior and how leaders can build mental strength by adopting practices that reinforce resilience and clear communication. For example, reframing setbacks as opportunities to learn is a habit that strengthens fortitude over time. Confidence with Humility: Scott points out the importance of balancing confidence with humility. While confidence is necessary for effective leadership, it must be tempered with a willingness to listen and adapt. This balance creates a culture of trust and respect within a team, which is essential for long-term success. Reframing Setbacks: Scott shares practical strategies for reframing setbacks, an essential habit for mental strength. Leaders often face challenges, and those who can view these moments as learning experiences rather than failures build resilience. This mindset shift is crucial for staying positive and proactive in difficult times. The Power of Messaging: Effective communication is one of the core “mental muscles” Scott talks about. He explains that leaders need to send clear, purposeful messages to their teams. This requires intentionality, precision, and consistency. The ability to convey the right message at the right time can make all the difference in motivating and leading a team. Conclusion: In this episode, Scott Mautz delivers a masterclass on the mental strength required to lead effectively in today's challenging world. His insights on habit-building science, resilience, and leadership balance provide listeners with practical tools they can apply immediately in their personal and professional lives. Scott's personal journey, from learning tough money lessons early in life to leading massive organizations, offers a compelling example of how anyone can cultivate mental strength. Whether you are a seasoned leader or just beginning your journey, this episode is full of wisdom that will help you build the mental fortitude necessary to thrive.   Links: https://scottmautz.com/mentallystronggift/ https://www.facebook.com/ScottMautzPP/ https://x.com/scott_mautz https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottmautz https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCESjWJrnWegel9lAlhXDS3A     Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Nausheen Chen is a nerd turned Fortune 50 manager turned award-winning filmmaker...turned 3-time TEDx speaker and public speaking coach. She was one of those kids who had no idea what she wanted to be when she grew up. She's been a #1 ranked manager at Procter & Gamble, an award-winning filmmaker, trained and performed improv in NYC and was a director at a PR company. She even acted in and directed a late night comedy TV show.But in 2021, Nausheen realized she never resonated with any of those roles and titles. At heart, she loved speaking ever since she was a 19-year old radio show host. Or before that, when she played the Princess in her school's production of Rapunzel in grade 3. So in 2022, Nausheen quit her multiple 6-figure filmmaking startup to become a public speaking coach. After 17 years, she's finally daring to start living her dream.In this engaging conversation, Nausheen shares all the hills and valleys of her journey, starting from when she was a young girl. She dives into how blind loyalty to inherited mindsets and principals can take you off your true path and how she broke free. Nausheen also shares how she handles the vulnerability that comes with personal change, why taking action doesn't always build confidence on its own, and her transformational work as a coach. What's Inside:Nausheen's journey from Fortune 50 manager to public speaking coachHow blind loyalty to inherited mindsets takes you off your authentic pathWhy taking action doesn't always build confidence on its own Mentioned In This Episode:Nausheen's WebsiteNausheen Chen on LinkedInNausheen Chen on InstagramWatch Nausheen's TEDx Talk

In today's rerun episode of Let's Talk Business, we're excited to bring back an insightful conversation with a marketing legend who has helped generate billions in revenue for major brands. Join our host, Meny Hoffman, as he sits down with Gerry O'Brien—author, speaker, and advisor—to delve into the powerful strategies and insights that have shaped Gerry's remarkable career. Gerry has worked with household names like Procter & Gamble, Coors Lite, and Red Robin. He is known for his innovative marketing concepts, such as the color-changing mountains on Coors Lite bottles. In this episode, Gerry shares his expertise on how small businesses can stand out in competitive markets without massive marketing budgets. Gerry O'Brion emphasizes the power of word-of-mouth referrals and decreased training times by specializing in specific areas, such as Volkswagen car repairs. He explains that small businesses can learn from large brands by listening to and gathering insights from customers to understand their choices and preferences. A significant challenge in influencing customer decisions lies in external factors and the credibility of a company's claims. Gerry highlights the necessity of providing proof for business promises—referred to as the "because" factor—which helps differentiate a company from its competition and assures customers they're making the right choice. O'Brion promotes his book "They Buy Your Because," offering additional resources through his website, and underscores the value of consistent brand messaging across all platforms. He also discusses the role of inspirational "why" messages internally while stressing the importance of clear and unique value propositions in customer-facing communications. Key insights include the need for small businesses to identify unique aspects of their offerings, ask why existing customers choose them over the competition, and tailor their approach to varied sales scenarios. These strategies, coupled with understanding customer mindsets and problems, enhance a small business's ability to succeed in a crowded market.   00:04:51 - Focus efforts, refine niche, demonstrate unique value. 00:09:25 - Proof distinguishes your promise from marketing fluff. 00:12:45 - Helping businesses find their "because" for differentiation. 00:14:22 - What makes your business exceptional? List specifics. 00:17:01 - Strategically structure website for effective visitor engagement. 00:22:43 - Varied outreach methods tailored to listener's company. 00:26:06 - Innovative weed control additive for resistant pests. 00:28:47 - Understand and address decision maker's real concerns. 00:30:51 - Optimize messaging sequence based on consumer insights. 00:34:30 - Narrow your focus to grow faster financially. 00:38:50 - Ensure audience targeting, understanding, outcomes, and credibility. 00:42:42 - Identify clients, unique value, and effective persuasion. 00:43:44 - Focus on delivering a unique, authentic because.   The first question a business owner needs to ask is, Where do my current clients come from - and where can I find more like them? Many times, the answer is in small niches where people already value what you offer. That means that the next question you need to ask is, What does your business bring to the table that the bigger competitor doesn't bring or can't bring? And the third question which follows is, What is the most effective way of convincing those potential clients that you offer something that bigger companies do not? The biggest mistake that companies make when it comes to marketing, is making promises without also giving the “Because” - meaning, the reason that you will be able to keep your promise. Promises without a “because” sound like empty marketing fluff. Promises with a “because” offer a compelling reason for a potential client to choose you instead of someone else. The following exercise is very important: Write down, “You should buy from us instead of from our competitors because- “ and complete the sentence with your authentic answer. If your answer sounds the same as any of your competitors, you're just adding to your customers' confusion, when they actually want certainty that they're making the right decision. So think long and hard about the “because” that will make your business unique while remaining true to what you can actually do. Many people confuse their “Because” with their “Why” - and that's a big mistake. Your “Why” is the reason that you do what you do, and is a type of mission statement that can inspire you and your employees. But when you're selling something and a customer is about to give you money, he doesn't care about your “Why”; he cares about your “Because” - meaning, what you do differently from everyone else, and how you can deliver that unique aspect to your client. When you talk about your “Because,” you are giving your client the certainty that buying from you is the right choice.  The main thing that big companies do better than small companies is listening and learning from their customers. Understanding the mindset of the people you serve is the foundation of all influence. So act like the big companies, and learn to ask questions. Make surveys. Go to the people who chose your competitor instead of you and ask them why they made that decision. Getting this information will help you better focus on how to close the next sale.   Gerry Website Linkedin They Buy Your Because Panda Doc
