Any industry, and our marketing industry is no exception, has a pack mentality. We say certain buzzwords and share certain ideas.But we can hear them ad nauseam, to the point where they just wash over us and don't really mean anything. We nod in agreement at a networking event with a drink in our hand, but do we actually do anything about it the next day?Not really. We're back to going through the motions executing a campaign, buried in email and Slack notifications.Here's one such commonly heard phrase – ‘put yourself in the customer's shoes.' How many times have you heard that?Now, how many times have you really done it?Well, this episode's guest has. She literally got out of the office, put on the customers' shoes – or in this case, steel-toed boots – and experienced what her customers' day is really like.I talked to Sarah Hodges, CMO, Procore Technologies (https://www.procore.com/), about that experience, along with many more lessons from her career.Procore Technologies is a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It reported $720 million in revenue in 2022, an increase of 40% year-over-year. More than $1 trillion in construction volume has run on its construction management software platform.Hodges manages a team of 300 people.Stories (with lessons) about what she made in marketingSome lessons from Hodges that emerged in our discussion:It is okay to think outside the box but make sure you don't create surprises! To grow as a marketing leader, make the leap to new, unfamiliar, even uncomfortable rolesYou have to walk in your customer's shoes....

Sarah Hodges is an executive coach, speaker, and founder of Hodges Coaching and the Hodges Leadership Institute, an on-demand training program that improves corporate culture through leadership EQ training. Her warm and direct coaching style is backed by her proprietary neurophysiological A+ Coaching Method.  Sarah has strong convictions about showing up as her authentic self at all times, so whether you're a client, employee, or world leader, Sarah will present herself exactly the same. In this episode Jason and Sarah discuss:What is it like to fully show up as your authentic selfHow you can start to bring out your authentic self What is the opposite of authenticity and how being authentic yourself allows others to also become their authentic selves The scientific basis behind authenticity Survival vs SurThrival Key Takeaways: Know your value system and commit to sticking to it no matter where you are and who you're with Be yourself without hurting others - be considerate of other people's values and be respectful of them. But at the same time, don't let other people's opinions or perceptions of you affect how you show up. Being authentic is all about silencing the voice of the inner critic and letting go of controlling another person's perception of you Let people form their opinion about you without manipulating them.  “The opposite of authenticity is a desire to control. You want to keep yourself safe by controlling the perception of those around you… do you want to be accepted for this version of yourself you show others or do you want to be accepted for who you truly are?” -Sarah Hodges Connect with Sarah Hodges:Website: https://hodgescoaching.com/Executive Uncut Podcast: https://hodgescoaching.com/executives-uncut-podcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahahodges/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv1g56my4jUeDfkR9XDjvjw Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: grow@rewireinc.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this Fund81 podcast interview, Dave Balter, the CEO of one of our MergeLane portfolio companies, Flipside Crypto, shared his perspective on investing in the cryptocurrency space. I invited Dave to join us for four reasons: He is one of the most engaging and entertaining speakers I know. He has the ability to explain complex things in an easy-to-understand way - something I have found rare in the cryptocurrency space. He is obsessed with and extremely knowledgeable about cryptocurrency. Because he is both a serial entrepreneur and a venture investor, he has an interesting perspective from both sides of the table. About Flipside Crypto Flipside Crypto has developed algorithms to track cryptocurrency performance indicators. Flipside licenses this data and uses its technology to provide investment opportunities for accredited investors via its indexes. The company also manages the process of acquiring and storing cryptocurrency to alleviate the headache of potentially confusing things like encryption and digital wallets. Flipside closed a $3.4 million financing round led by True Ventures three months after MergeLane’s investment. Coinvestors include the Chernin Group, Resolute Ventures, Boston Seed Capital, Converge, and Founder Collective. About Dave Balter Dave Balter is the founder and CEO of Flipside Crypto, a provider of data solutions and investment vehicles for cryptocurrencies. Dave has spent most of his career as an innovation‐obsessed builder of companies, most often as a founder and CEO, but occasionally as a board member, advisor or investor. Dave is also an active venture investor and M&A professional. As an operator, Dave is probably best known for Smaterer, which he founded, led, and sold to Pluralsight in 2014 and BzzAgent, which he founded, led, and sold to dunnhumby in 2011. Post BzzAgent acquisition, Dave acted as Global Head of Investments for dunnhumby and founded dunnhumby Ventures. Dave is also an independent angel and venture partner at Boston Seed Capital. Dave’s investments have included DraftKings, Promoboxx, FitnessKeeper, and Help Scout. Dave was named one of the 30 most disruptive people in Boston tech by Boston Magazine in 2016, was a finalist for the E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year, and was recognized as a future legend by the Ad Club. He cofounded the Word of Mouth Marketing Association and authored two books on the subject including Grapevine and the Word of Mouth Manual Volume II. A long time Techstars mentor, Dave also co-founded Intelligent.ly, a classroom space that helps star employees become managers with his wife, Sarah Hodges, and sits on the Board of Directors for the Boch Center for the Performing Arts.

My guest this week is Dave Balter, Founder and Partner of Flipside Crypto, a data solutions and investment club for cryptocurrencies. Dave really is a pillar of the Boston startup community… an innovation‐obsessed builder of companies, often as a Founder/CEO but also as a Board Member, advisor, or investor. As an operator Dave’s probably best known for Smarterer, which he founded, led, and sold to Pluralsight for $75 Million in 2014, and BzzAgent, which he founded, led, and sold to dunnhumby for $60 Million in 2011. Dave was named one of 30 Most Disruptive People in Boston Tech by Boston Magazine in 2016, was a Finalist for E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year, and was recognized as a Future Legend by the Ad Club. He co‐founded the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA), and authored two books on the subject including Grapevine and The Word of Mouth Manual: Volume II.  As both an independent angel and Venture Partner in Boston Seed Capital, Dave’s investments have included Draft Kings, Promoboxx, FitnessKeeper. and HelpScout. A longtime TechStars mentor, Dave also co-founded Intelligent.ly — a classroom space that helps star employees become managers — with his wife Sarah Hodges back in in 2011, and sits on the Board of Directors of Boch Center for the Performing Arts.
