In this episode, Bart sits down with Alex Koster live from IMEX America to explore his personal journey from driving tractors at 14 to becoming a global leader in competitive socialization experiences. Alex shares the “no compromise” philosophy behind F1 Arcade, how fun can be both inclusive and transformative, and why play might just be the next big thing in workplace learning and connection.Major Takeaways / LearningsEarly Work Ethic: Alex's drive was shaped by his father's belief in working young and creating your own opportunities.Selling Fun: His first exposure to “fun as a product” came through organizing group experiences like bachelor and bachelorette parties — which taught him the value of joy-driven commerce.No Compromise Culture: Across ventures like Bounce, Flight Club, and now F1 Arcade, the standard has always been premium quality in every detail — food, tech, service, and experience.Inclusive Fun for All: F1 Arcade isn't just for F1 superfans — it's designed for anyone, regardless of skill or interest in racing, to have a great time together.Bridging Work & Play: Through the Accelerate at Work initiative, F1 Arcade uses gameplay to teach soft skills like patience, timing, collaboration, and communication in a natural, memorable way.Competitive Socialization as a Movement: By pairing activities with hospitality, experiences like F1 Arcade help break down barriers, build community, and spark joy.Memorable Quotes“Most people don't… have fun enough.”“No compromise — that's the philosophy from day one.”“We've built a church for F1 fans… but we also built a playground for everyone else.”“Learning happens when people come together — and fun makes it stick.”Why It Matters / How to Use ItFor leaders: Experiences that prioritize joy can create lasting emotional connections and stronger teams.For L&D professionals: Playful environments can be powerful learning tools — without feeling like “training.”For brands: Emotional engagement and premium experiences are not mutually exclusive; they amplify each other.For individuals: Reclaiming fun isn't frivolous, it's fuel for connection, creativity, and growth.Resources and Links:Bart Berkey: MostPeopleDont.com | LinkedInThis podcast episode is brought to you by Wishes.Inc Wishes, Inc. is a transparent giving platform that lets donors see exactly where their money goes.It rewards users with cashback and perks through virtual payment tools.Fast, traceable, and efficient—Wishes makes doing good feel even better.https://www.bartaberkey.com/wishes-inc-landing-page

What's the difference between a good technician and a complete professional? In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and Jesse Olson break down the final role in the Four Technician Roles framework: the Revenue Producer. Most techs think revenue means “selling.” It doesn't. As Jesse says: “Revenue without excellence is the grind. Excellence without revenue is a hobby.” Being a Revenue Producer means owning your time, your results, and your responsibility to the company and the customer. It's not about pressure — it's about stewardship. You'll learn: What it really means to be a Revenue Producer How discipline connects excellence to results Why performance pay is a reflection of stewardship, not sales pressure How to communicate value without sounding like a salesperson Why being a professional means caring about both service and revenue If you're an HVAC, plumbing, or electrical tech who wants to grow beyond just fixing, this is the mindset shift that creates long-term career success.

TwelveLabs is building purpose-built foundation models for video understanding, enabling enterprises to index, search, and analyze petabytes of video content at scale. Founded by three technical co-founders who met in South Korea's Cyber Command doing multimodal video understanding research, the company recognized early that video requires fundamentally different infrastructure than text or image AI. Now achieving 10x revenue growth and serving customers across media, entertainment, sports, advertising, and federal agencies, TwelveLabs is proving that category creation through extreme focus beats trend chasing. In this episode, Jae Lee shares how the company navigated early product decisions, built specialized GTM motions for established industries, and maintained technical conviction during years of building in relative obscurity. Topics Discussed: How military research in multimodal video understanding led to founding TwelveLabs in 2020  The technical thesis: why video deserves purpose-built foundation models and inference infrastructure  Targeting video-centric industries where ROI justifies early-stage pricing: media, entertainment, sports, advertising, and defense  Partnership-driven distribution strategy and AWS Bedrock integration results  Specialized sales approach: generalist leaders, vertical-specific AEs and solutions architects Maintaining extreme focus and avoiding hype cycles during the first three years of building  Federal GTM lessons: why In-Q-Tel partnership and authentic mission alignment matter more than process optimization  The discipline of saying no to large opportunities that don't fit ICP  Keeping hiring bars high when the entire team is underwater GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Hire vertical specialists on the front lines, not just at the top: TwelveLabs structures its GTM team with generalist leaders (head of GTM and VP of Revenue) who can sell any technology, but vertical-specialized AEs, solutions architects, and deployment engineers. These front-line team members come directly from the four target industries and understand customer workflows, buying patterns, and integration points without ramp time. For founders entering mature markets with established tech stacks and complex procurement, this inverted model—generalist strategy, specialist execution—accelerates deal velocity because technical buyers immediately recognize domain fluency. Infrastructure plays require integration partnerships, not displacement: In established industries with layered technology stacks, positioning as foundational infrastructure demands partnership-first distribution. Jae explained their approach: integration with media-specific GSIs, media asset management platforms, and cloud providers ensures TwelveLabs fits into existing workflows rather than forcing wholesale replacement. This is particularly critical for selling into industries like media and entertainment where technology decisions involve multiple stakeholders across production, post-production, and distribution. The AWS Bedrock integration delivered 30,000+ enterprise agreements in seven weeks—a distribution velocity impossible through direct sales alone. Extreme focus on first-principles product development beats fast-follower tactics: While competitors built quick demos by wrapping existing models, TwelveLabs spent three years building proprietary video foundation models and indexing infrastructure from scratch. Jae was explicit about the cost: "It was painful journey in the first like two and a half, three years because folks are flying by." The payoff came from solving actual customer problems—indexing 2 million hours of content in two days, enabling semantic search at scale, building agent workflows for specific use cases—rather than impressive demos that couldn't handle production workloads. For technical founders, this validates staying committed to fundamental research even when market momentum favors surface-level innovation. Federal requires cultural alignment before GTM optimization: TwelveLabs' federal success stems from authentic mission alignment, not just process execution. With In-Q-Tel as an investor providing interface to agencies and founders with military backgrounds, the company established credibility through shared values rather than sales tactics. Jae was direct: "If you're kind of entering because, oh, federal market is big and you go in, you're going to get your butt kicked. So I think like you need to actually build your team in a way that's like passionate to work on this project." This matters because federal deals require sustained engagement through long sales cycles, security reviews, and deployment complexity—momentum that only comes from genuine conviction, not quota pressure. ICP discipline protects product focus and team morale: Saying no to large early opportunities that don't fit ICP is operationally painful but strategically essential. Jae acknowledged the difficulty: "Early on saying no to customers is hard... as a founder you want to grow your business and you know that's going to be good for the morale. But that's only true when the customers are actually their ideal customers." Wrong customers create three failure modes: they pull product roadmap toward one-off features, they consume disproportionate support resources, and they generate reference cases that attract more wrong-fit prospects. For early-stage infrastructure companies, every customer shapes your market position—choose deliberately. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Ever feel like your business is running YOU instead of the other way around? Like no matter how much revenue you bring in, it never feels like enough—because behind the scenes, things are messy, margins are thin, and burnout is creeping in? Yeah, I've been there… and so has today's guest.In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm hanging with Jeremy Reeves—founder of Scale Advisors, the dude who's generated nearly $200 million in revenue for himself and his clients. He's built and sold a multi-million dollar company, served as CEO of an 8-figure portfolio with 100+ employees across 7 businesses, and crafted at least five different 8-figure offers. Safe to say, the man knows his stuff when it comes to scaling.But here's what I love about Jeremy—he's not about building a big shiny revenue number just to impress people. In fact, he says the word “revenue” should be banished from our vocabulary. Why? Because entrepreneurs have been sold a lie that top-line revenue is the holy grail, when in reality it's about profit, peace of mind, and freedom. That's where he comes in—helping high-integrity entrepreneurs engineer scalable profit models without the chaos or complexity that's killing most businesses today.We jammed on so many truth bombs in this conversation. Jeremy broke down the 5 economic levers that control every dollar in your business (spoiler: it's not about hacking your way to more sales). He shared why most entrepreneurs hit an invisible wall that has nothing to do with marketing, and how to spot the ONE domino in your business that knocks down every other problem when you fix it.One of my favorite parts? Jeremy's perspective on working half the time and getting double the results. As someone who's all about systematically harmonizing ambition with well-being, this resonated hard. Because let's face it—what's the point of hustlin' if you're not Happy Hustlin'?Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:Stop obsessing over revenue. Profit and sustainability beat vanity metrics every time.Leverage the 5 economic drivers to maximize margins and growth.Every business has a “domino problem”—find it, fix it, and everything else gets easier.Work smarter, not harder. More hours ≠ more results.Simplify to scale. Complexity kills momentum; clarity fuels it.At the end of the day, Jeremy reminds us that building an empire doesn't have to mean burning out. You can engineer a business model that's scalable, profitable, and still gives you space for family, freedom, and fun.If you're ready to ditch the chaos, stop glorifying revenue, and start building a business that actually serves your life (not the other way around), then you've got to tune into this one.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you?Jeremy says to live life the way that you want to live it. Whatever that is for you, know? Yeah, just live it how you want to live it. Do it your way, man. You get one, you know, and even if you believe in reincarnation, you only remember one. So, yeah, man. Do it how you want it.Connect with Jeremyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyreeves/Find Jeremy on these websites:www.scaleadvisors.comhttps://www.jeremyreeves.com/ Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

If you've been looking for a way to add consistent revenue to your practice without selling more supplements or adding more appointments, this episode is for you. We're talking about creating a non-clinical product bundle using everyday items your patients already use and love, like toothpaste, shampoo, barrier creams, or non-toxic cleaners. Only this time, you're the trusted source, not Amazon or Target. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ What to include in a non-clinical monthly or seasonal bundle ✔️ How to theme, price, and package it simply ✔️ Easy fulfillment options (no tech headaches required) ✔️ Messaging that builds trust and retention, not pressure

Send us a textPhones get quiet, bills don't. We tackle the slow-season squeeze head-on with a blueprint for building maintenance clubs that are easy to sell, rich with perks, and powerful enough to turn downtime into dependable revenue. Rachel kicks things off before Crystal and Emily dive into the strategies we use with HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and pest control companies to keep cash flowing when the weather won't do the heavy lifting.We start with the essentials: simplify your plan to one or two tiers, publish it clearly, and equip CSRs and techs with tight scripts that make the value obvious. From priority service and documented maintenance to loyalty credits for future system replacements, we outline member benefits that feel exclusive—not just a discounted tune-up in disguise. Then we layer in smart cross-sells and seasonal bundles that lift average tickets, like IAQ upgrades, duct cleaning, programmable thermostats, water heater flushes, and visual roofing checks that create real reasons to roll a truck when demand dips.You'll also hear practical ideas to keep your brand sticky in a crowded market. Monthly member emails with an owner's note and timely tips, weather-triggered check-ins, and delight moments—think fall pumpkin drop-offs or pet treats for “fur families”—build loyalty and referrals that last longer than a service call. We map out targets (aim for 1,000 members per $1M in service revenue), the KPIs that matter, and the gamified incentives that make teams care: simple spiffs, leaderboards, steak dinners cooked by leadership, even big-ticket raffles for sustained performance. The result is a “smart seat bank” of happy customers ready to buy, freeing peak-season capacity for high-value new calls.If you're ready to stop riding the weather and start building a predictable revenue engine, this conversation is your playbook.

The Next Level Revenue Formula with Kyle Mealy   Business growth doesn't have to be complicated. In this episode of Profit Answer Man, I welcome back Kyle Mealy, Fractional Chief Revenue Officer and author of The Next Level Revenue Formula. Kyle has helped small businesses double their top line and, in many cases, 10x their profit by applying simple math to sales and marketing.   We dive into the new world of GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), niching through the “Snow Globe Economy,” and the power of his Revenue Cascade framework. This isn't abstract theory—it's practical math that shows you where your leads are leaking, how to align your EOS scorecards, and how to make sure revenue actually turns into profit.   Key Lessons from Kyle:  GEO > SEO. SEO alone won't cut it anymore. Buyers are finding answers through AI-driven engines and social platforms. To win, you need to focus on thought leadership, trust, and influence where your niche actually lives. The Snow Globe Economy. Kyle calls today's business landscape a snow globe—self-contained worlds where ultra-niche companies thrive. The key is to niche by problem. Even if your product isn't narrow, you must get crystal clear on the specific problem you solve better than anyone else. The Revenue Cascade. Sales and marketing aren't separate—they're two sides of the same coin. Kyle's Revenue Cascade simplifies lead flow into measurable stages. By tracking conversion at each step, you quickly see where leaks are happening and where to focus your efforts. ROASS vs. ROAS. Traditional ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) ignores profitability. Kyle's upgrade—ROASS—puts revenue on top and marketing + sales below. If your operations eat up the rest, you could be running at break-even or worse. This simple math makes sure “growth” isn't draining your profit. Scorecards That Predict Cash. Many EOS scorecards track metrics that don't correlate to profit. Kyle emphasizes designing scorecards that align directly with your P&L and forecast cash flow 8 weeks out. Done right, your scorecard becomes an early-warning system for profit and growth.   Key Takeaway: Profit doesn't come from more tactics—it comes from simple math. By mapping your buyer journey with the Revenue Cascade, calculating ROASS to protect margins, and aligning your scorecard to predict cash, you can stop guessing, plug leaks, and scale your business with clarity and confidence.   About Kyle Mealy: Kyle Mealy is a small business Fractional Chief Revenue Officer. His clients have achieved an average of 35% year-over-year top-line growth, with many experiencing 10x profit improvements.   Links: https://www.readyforthenextlevel.com/ ENRG - https://enrg.life/   Conclusion: As Kyle reminds us: “Measure first, strategy second.” Too many business owners chase tactics—Facebook ads, new sales hires, trade shows—without knowing the math behind them. When you build your Revenue Cascade, calculate ROASS, and align your scorecard with profit, you stop guessing and start scaling with clarity. Profit isn't magic—it's math. And when you know the math, you win the game of business.   #ProfitFirst #CashFlowFix #RevenueCascade #ROASS #GEO #SmartScaling #BusinessProfit #OwnerPay #BusinessClarity #ProfitMindset   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!

Welcome to Culture Over Quota — a new segment within The E1B2 Collective Podcast hosted by Anthony “AJ” Vaughan. In this series, AJ merges two worlds that rarely speak the same language: HR and Revenue. Drawing from his journey as a founder, CHRO, CRO, and builder of multiple HR tech ventures, AJ unpacks what it truly means to scale businesses without burning out people, teams, or purpose.This isn't another “hit your number” sales show — it's a raw and forward-thinking exploration of how culture, leadership, and human psychology shape every quota you chase. AJ delves into the real tensions between founders and VCs, CHROs and CROs, sellers and buyers, and reveals how companies that prioritize people over profit actually win bigger, faster, and longer.Expect candid stories, lived lessons, and deep dives into the future of HR tech, sales culture, and organizational design — all anchored in one belief:If you build culture first, the quota takes care of itself.

In this episode of the Business Builder Series, I'm breaking down how to forecast your revenue — intentionally and confidently — instead of reacting to whatever comes your way. Forecasting doesn't have to feel stressful or uncertain. When you approach it as a tool to create your future (not predict it), you give yourself clarity, direction, and control in your business.Key topics covered:The difference between a target and a forecast (and why you need both)How to use your past and current data to build realistic revenue projectionsUnderstanding seasonal trends and how they impact your businessConnecting your forecast to your capacity and marketing effortsWhy a good forecast gives you control, not pressureA forecast isn't about being right — it's about being ready. The more clarity you build, the less anxiety you'll feel about what's coming next.Challenge:Open up your revenue from the last 12 months and chart out your actuals by month.Then, forecast the next three months by labeling each one with:What's booked or guaranteedWhat's expectedAnd your stretch goal (the fun, visionary number!)Next month, review how close you came — and update the forecast again. Keep it rolling and start building that muscle of confident, intentional forecasting.Mentioned in this episode: Faire, the largest wholesale marketplace connecting over 120,000 brands and retailers.

She explains the crucial difference between revenue and profit, why separate bank accounts can save your business, and how to avoid nasty tax surprises that can cripple your cash flow.

What if you could double your practice revenue without adding a single new client to your already full calendar? In today's episode, I'm breaking down why so many therapists hit a $100K ceiling and stay stuck there, even when they're excellent at what they do.If you've been getting by on reputation and word-of-mouth referrals, you're about to discover why that strategy falls apart when you're ready to scale to $150K or $200K. I share the two non-negotiable systems that took my business from constant income fluctuations to multiple $30K months this year alone. You'll hear the real story of what happened when my inquiries exploded and why I can no longer manage my own inbox. We're talking about the difference between random good months and consistent high revenue, plus the unexpected challenge that comes when your marketing actually starts working.So if you're tired of crossing your fingers and hoping referrals keep coming, this episode shows you exactly what needs to change in your business right now.

Does Net Revenue Retention (NRR) really move your company's valuation multiple? Absolutely — and the difference can be worth tens of millions of dollars. In episode #319, Ben Murray breaks down new data from Meritech Capital and Benchmarkit.ai to show exactly how changes in your NRR directly impact your revenue multiple and SaaS valuation. You'll also learn why ACV segmentation matters when benchmarking NRR and Gross Revenue Retention (GRR), and how top-performing SaaS companies are using retention metrics to drive investor confidence and higher valuations. What You'll Learn The link between NRR and valuation multiples — a 7-point jump in NRR can double your multiple. How a $5M ARR company can see a $25M valuation swing from retention improvements. The latest SaaS benchmarks from Ray Rike (Benchmarkit.ai) for NRR and GRR. Why you must benchmark NRR by ACV, not company size or industry averages Why investors prioritize retention when evaluating durability, efficiency, and predictability of revenue. Why It Matters For SaaS Founders: NRR improvements can directly increase your exit or fundraising valuation. For CFOs & Finance Leaders: Retention trends reveal the sustainability of your revenue model and influence your ARR growth forecast. For Investors: High NRR signals strong customer economics, pricing power, and efficient growth. For Operators: Knowing your NRR by ACV cohort allows smarter resource allocation and customer success planning. Resources Mentioned The SaaS CFO Academy: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/#section-1744932157830 Quote from Ben “A 5X difference in valuation multiple can come down to just a few points in your net revenue retention. That's the power of strong SaaS metrics.”

Is SEO Enough to Earn Business Profit and Revenue? Marketing Talk with Favour Obasi-Ike | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.In this episode of the We Don't PLAY podcast, host Favour Obasi-Ike delivers a masterclass on the strategic role of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in today's digital landscape. He dismantles the myth that SEO is a silver bullet, arguing instead that it's a foundational component that must work in concert with a healthy business and other marketing channels. We dive deep into how major shifts, like Google's algorithm changes and the rise of AI-driven search, are making a sophisticated SEO strategy more critical than ever.Tune in to learn how to leverage SEO not just for traffic, but as a powerful data intelligence engine to understand your customers and drive informed business decisions.Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need SEO Services?

Visit our Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services.>> Visit our Official website for the best digital marketing, SEO, and AI strategies today!Key Takeaways:SEO is a Necessary Ingredient, Not the Entire Recipe: You can't build a successful business on SEO alone. It cannot fix a bad customer experience, poor operations, or a weak value proposition. True success comes from integrating SEO with other channels like email marketing, advertising, and social media.The Search Landscape is Rapidly Evolving: Major changes are reshaping how we think about SEO. With Google removing traditional numbered pages and the emergence of AI-native browsers like Perplexity AI, strategic SEO is more vital than ever. Content freshness, signaled by the "last modified" date, is becoming a key ranking factor.SEO's Core Value is Data & Intelligence: The most powerful benefit of SEO is the actionable data it provides. By using tools like Google Search Console, you can understand customer intent, identify market needs, and make smarter decisions about product development and advertising. SEO is technically psychology.A Proactive Content Strategy is Non-Negotiable: Success requires planning content months in advance. The lifespan of your content varies dramatically by platform—while an Instagram post lasts ~72 hours, a Pinterest pin can drive traffic for over 5 months, making platform choice a key strategic decision.SEO Must Be Fully Integrated: SEO shouldn't live in a silo. Its power is multiplied when woven into email marketing (optimizing images and landing pages), paid ads (using search data for targeting), and lead conversion. It is the "byproduct" of good marketing practices.Implementation Requires a Clear Model & Timeline: Whether you choose a DIY approach, build an in-house team, or outsource to an agency, achieving results takes time.

HEADLINE: Russian Oil and Gas Revenue Squeezed as Prices Drop, Turkey Shifts to US LNG, and China Delays Pipeline GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Michael Bernstam about Russia facing severe budget pressure due to declining oil prices projected to reach $40 per barrel for Russian oil and global oil surplus. Turkey, a major buyer, is abandoning Russian natural gas after signing a 20-year LNG contract with the US. Russia refuses Indian rupee payments, demanding Chinese renminbi, which India lacks. China has stalled the major Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline project indefinitely. Russia utilizes stablecoin and Bitcoin via Central Asian banks to circumvent payment sanctions. 1910 BAKU
