Headlines shout layoffs and AI disruption, but the real friction most teams feel right now is slower and sneakier: bureaucracy. Lone Rock Leadership's co-founder Russ Hill zooms out from the noise and gets specific about why mid-level layers are shrinking, how meeting creep drains momentum, and what leaders can do this quarter to cut delays without cutting trust. If you've sat through a pre-meeting for a pre-meeting, this conversation is your playbook for getting time and energy back.Russ grounds the topic with context from Amazon and other tech firms, separating overhiring corrections from the still-emerging impact of AI. From factory floors to corporate hubs, the machines aren't replacing people at scale yet; what's stalling progress is indecision, unclear owners, and approvals stacked five deep. He shares field-tested tactics from coaching executive teams across industries: mapping value streams to find bottlenecks, collapsing decision layers, and standardizing one-page briefs that replace bloated status updates. You'll learn how to identify high-leverage activities, protect deep work, and shift meetings from ritual to results.This episode focuses on practical structure and process changes you can run now. Set clear decision rights, move reversible choices to the edge, and use time-boxed experiments to gain speed safely. Lead with clarity by choosing fewer priorities, naming owners, and celebrating fast, well-reasoned decisions. The outcome is a team that moves faster, feels informed, and builds market value—even as AI and volatility reshape the landscape.

Careers don't stall because people forget how to work hard; they stall because the room stops changing. We dig into a simple, disruptive idea: individuals matter more than institutions. When you choose who you spend time with as carefully as you choose your company, your trajectory shifts—faster ideas, bolder bets, better results.Lone Rock Leadership co-founder Russ Hill walks through two practical circles that shape outcomes. Your first-degree connections—bosses, teammates, key clients—determine your daily pace and mindset. If they're maintainers, your thinking flattens. If they're builders and developers, your courage and creativity rise. Then there's the overlooked engine: second-degree connections, the friends-of-friends who inject novelty without chaos. Most real opportunities come from this layer, and we get tactical about how to activate it: rotate rising operators into executive meetings, design invite-only dinners that cross functions and companies, and set a steady cadence of breakfasts, calls, and site visits that sharpen judgment.Ready to trade stagnation for momentum? Listen now, then share with one person who pushes you to grow. If this resonated, subscribe, leave a quick review, and pass it along to your team so you can build better rooms together.--Visit the Lone Rock Leadership Website:https://www.lonerock.ioConnect with me on LinkedIn or to send me a DM:https://www.linkedin.com/in/russleads/Tap here to check out my first book, Decide to Lead, on Amazon.

In Part Two of this special ViVE series, the conversation moves from why ViVE exists to how leaders and solution partners actually extract value from it. Eric Glazer continues the discussion with Rich Scarfo, President of HLTH/ViVE, and Russ Branzell, President & CEO of CHIME, focusing on how different audiences experience ViVE and what separates attendees who walk away with clarity and momentum from those who don't. Rich and Russ share practical perspectives on how senior healthcare leaders should navigate ViVE, how to balance content sessions with curated meetings, and what intentional preparation looks like before, during, and after the event. They also discuss what "showing up the right way" means for solution partners, what makes a partner conversation valuable from an executive standpoint, and how to build trust that extends beyond the conference. If you're attending ViVE 2026, or deciding how to approach large industry convenings more strategically, this episode offers concrete guidance on how to turn time spent onsite into outcomes that last well beyond the event.

The ground keeps moving and the old playbook can't keep up. We pulled back the curtain on our 2026 Leadership Reality Report and walked through the intel leaders are using to make faster, smarter decisions without perfect visibility—because waiting for certainty is the new risk.We start with the three realities shaping every org we work with: volatility that scrambles supply chains, policy, and tech; versatility as a non-negotiable demand across roles; and ambiguity that forces choices before the “right answer” even exists. From there, we map the four leadership priorities that actually convert chaos into progress. Adaptive velocity is first: changing at speed and scale, with tighter decision cycles and empowered teams. Human connectivity comes next: building trust, safety, and shared mission so dispersed teams generate real idea collisions and flag issues early. Then ecosystem vision: thinking beyond silos to orchestrate value across functions, partners, and platforms. Finally, efficient execution: eliminating noise, focusing on high-leverage activities, and protecting capacity so priorities ship.You'll hear fresh stats, perspective from top executives, and a clear path to brief your org with a ready-to-use deck and upcoming webinar. Use this preview to audit your team: Which skills are strong? Where are the gaps? What will you stop, start, and scale over the next quarter to move faster with less noise and more alignment?If this conversation helps you think sharper about 2026, follow the show, share it with your team, and leave a review so more leaders can find it.

ViVE was created to break the mold of healthcare conferences — fewer distractions, more meaningful conversations, and content leaders can act on. In this first episode of a special two-part series, Eric Glazer sits down with Rich Scarfo, President of HLTH/ViVE, and Russ Branzell, President & CEO of CHIME, to unpack the origin of ViVE, the CHIME + HLTH partnership, and what senior leaders can expect in 2026. Together, they explore why executives needed a new kind of platform, what problems they're trying to solve when they come to ViVE, and how topics like cybersecurity, cost pressure, operational performance, and real-world AI will show up in this year's programming. They also get into how ViVE approaches content design, moving beyond big ideas to practical context and decision-support leaders can use when they get home. If you're a healthcare decision-maker evaluating which events matter in 2026, or how to make sense of a fast-changing landscape, this conversation offers clarity straight from the architects of ViVE. Stay tuned for Part Two, where the conversation shifts to how leaders and solution partners get real outcomes from ViVE — from navigating the environment to turning connections into next steps.

Instead of James Dean in “Rebel Without A Cause”, our movie idol is Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli (is it still playing at the Dunes?). Maybe later we'll ride our bikes down to the lake and swim in the heated shadow of the nuclear power plant and pray that we don't grow up to be toxic avenging freaks. And then, hopefully, we can scrape enough pot seeds together so we can smoke ‘em through a beer can and get a cheap buzz going — after which, we'll convince ourselves we have the munchies and try to get Curt to spend his News-Sun paper route money on lunch at Pizza House. It was a glorious time…

Many aspiring business owners believe buying a franchise is a shortcut to success, but Cliff Nonnenmacher explains why that assumption leads to costly mistakes. In this episode, Cliff joins Russ and Joey to share his journey from Wall Street investment banking to building, scaling, and exiting multiple franchise businesses.Drawing from decades of experience, Cliff explains why most people fail in franchising, not because the model is broken, but because they skip proper valuation, due diligence, and execution. He breaks down why buying at the right price matters more than brand recognition, how a poor "skills fit" destroys profitability, and why execution (not hype) creates real opportunity.The conversation also explores how successful investors think about exits before they ever buy, and the red flags that signal a franchise nightmare. Cliff shares real examples of buying failing franchises for pennies on the dollar and then selling for significant multiples.This episode is a must-listen for anyone considering franchising as a path to cash flow, business ownership, or long-term wealth creation.Top three things you will learn:-Why valuation and execution matter more than franchise brand names-The most common mistakes that turn franchises into financial traps-How to structure a business from day one with a profitable exit in mindAbout Our Guest:Cliff Nonnenmacher began his career as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley.

On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ about a serial killer nurse named Kristen Gilbert! Kristen seemed like an amazing nurse, she had it all together at home and on the job. She was the nurse coworkers counted on because she knew her stuff, but when the number of death's in the ICU started rising every time Kristen worked a few coworkers started noticing a pattern. As her fellow nurses watched more closely they began to ask the unfathomable question ... was Kristen killing the patients? or Was this all a coincidence? What they found was more sinister than they could have ever imagined. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
