With protein becoming a kind of "holy water" that instantly anoints any food or beverage with a health halo…it was only a matter of time before it converged with carbonated soft drinks, right? But what if I told you that I've been trying to make protein soda a “billion-dollar idea” since 2016? Originally approached by the patent holder almost a decade ago, my attempts at influencing large beverage portfolios went nowhere fast. And it makes sense in hindsight…as within a low household penetration beverage category (like protein drinks), market participants (back then) obviously wanted to bring in new buyers, but the more meaningful solved challenge involved expanding distribution. Even a few years later, within content basically no one watched…I started mentioning how PepsiCo should make “protein dirty sodas” but letting Muscle Milk leverage its carbonated soft drinks flavor IP. But fast forward another few years…protein is winning in most places across the grocery store, accessibility of protein RTD beverages has become almost ubiquitous within the market, and maybe most importantly the “dirty soda” movement exploded thanks to TikTok. And before you think I'm humbly bragging about my place within the protein soda category creation, one that will likely never make the future Wikipedia page…just know that I wholeheartedly believe being right too early is indistinguishable from being wrong! Instead, I provided that quick introductory story to set the stage for our conversation with the CEO of Don't Quit, Mark French, who's new protein soda is launching nationwide in Walmart, Albertsons, CVS, and others this month. And alongside this refreshed strategic focus of delivering healthier, clean, great tasting protein in a variety of different formats…we got an insightfully diverse POV on the functional beverage marketplace from Chris Van Dusen, a private equity group Senior Partner involved in delivering capital solutions for late-stage startup and growth companies like Don't Quit.

Negli ultimi dieci anni, in Italia è aumentato il livello medio di istruzione dei lavoratori, ma la domanda di lavoro non si è adeguata di pari passo. Questo ha generato una crescente diffusione della sovraqualificazione, in particolare tra giovani e donne, ovvero situazioni in cui i lavoratori svolgono mansioni inferiori rispetto al proprio titolo di studio o ambito di formazione. Il fenomeno, analizzato dal rapporto "Il mismatch di qualifiche nel mercato del lavoro italiano" realizzato da Area Studi Legacoop con Prometeia, evidenzia come il disallineamento tra competenze offerte e richieste dal sistema produttivo comporti conseguenze rilevanti anche sul piano salariale. Nel 2022 i lavoratori italiani avevano in media 12,6 anni di istruzione, contro gli 11,3 del 2011, con un aumento particolarmente marcato tra i 35-44enni. Tuttavia, l'incremento dell'istruzione non è stato accompagnato da un pari aumento nei requisiti formativi richiesti dalle imprese. Di conseguenza, la quota di lavoratori sovraqualificati è salita dal 7,8% al 12,7%, mentre quella dei sottovalutati è scesa all'8,1%. In media, nel 2022, si registra un eccesso di istruzione di 0,8 anni per lavoratore. I settori che maggiormente hanno trainato la domanda di lavoro - agricoltura, attività minerarie, manifattura, commercio, trasporti, logistica, alloggio e ristorazione - sono anche quelli dove più si riscontra questa discrepanza. In particolare, nei settori industriali ogni anno di studio in eccesso viene remunerato solo al 67% del valore che avrebbe se perfettamente allineato alla posizione lavorativa. Al contrario, chi è sottoqualificato subisce una penalizzazione salariale con un rendimento marginale negativo, pari al 50%. Questo scenario conferma come il mismatch tra formazione e occupazione rappresenti una sfida strutturale per l'economia italiana, con effetti diretti sull'efficienza del mercato del lavoro e sulla valorizzazione del capitale umano. Ne parliamo proprio con Stefania Tomasini, Senior Partner responsabile analisi per l'Italia di Prometeia

What if your greatest impact as a leader begins after your "official" career ends? Joe Davis, former Managing Director and Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and author of "The Generous Leader: 7 Ways to Give of Yourself for Everyone's Gain", joins Peter Winick to share insights from his extraordinary shift from consulting titan to impactful thought leader. Joe reveals how the disruptions of COVID-19 inspired him to write his book—not just as a professional calling card, but to encourage executives to lead with heartfelt generosity and empathy. He emphasizes that legacy leadership isn't measured by revenue alone but by meaningful connections, personal growth, and empowering others. This episode is for CEOs and senior leaders contemplating their own "Act Three." Joe discusses the challenges and opportunities when transitioning from a structured corporate role into thought leadership and advisory work. He highlights the importance of being selective and intentional about the roles you choose post-retirement, avoiding burnout, and keeping control over your time. Joe also candidly discusses how success is redefined after a corporate career. He measures impact differently now, valuing deep personal connections, mentoring opportunities, and moments spent with family—especially his grandchildren. If you're an executive thinking about your next meaningful chapter, listen in as Joe Davis shares hard-won wisdom and practical guidance on building your legacy beyond the boardroom. Three Key Takeaways: • Legacy Starts Now: True leadership legacy isn't shaped by quarterly earnings or titles—it's built through empathetic connections, generosity, and empowering others, starting today. • Choose Wisely Post-Retirement: After a high-powered career, saying "yes" to everything can quickly lead to burnout. Be selective; prioritize roles that align deeply with your purpose. • Redefine Success on Your Terms: Success beyond the C-suite isn't measured by traditional metrics. Meaningful impact emerges from mentoring, family time, and genuinely fulfilling activities. If Joe Davis's insights on moving from executive roles to impactful thought leadership resonated with you, check out our episode featuring Vaughn Sigmon. Vaughn shares how he successfully transitioned from corporate leadership at CarMax to launching his own thriving leadership development firm. Both episodes explore how intentionality, authenticity, and clear personal branding drive meaningful post-corporate careers.

In this episode of EdFix, education policy veterans Denise Forte and Andy Rotherham tackle one of the most pressing—and polarizing—questions in American education: should the U.S. Department of Education shrink or shift power to the states? With sharp insights and real-world experience, they unpack the motivations behind efforts to dismantle the department and what that could mean for equity, accountability, and student rights. From civil rights enforcement to federal funding, they explore what's lost (and what might be gained) in a state-led system. It's a timely and clear-eyed conversation about equity, accountability, and the future of public education. Denise Forte is President and CEO of EdTrust. Andy Rotherham is Co-Founder and Senior Partner at Bellwether. [Transcript for Episode 42 is available on EdFixPodcast.com]

Marc is joined by Brian Cattell, Senior Partner at CLP Strategies, to discuss the case of an illegal immigrant, previously referred to as the "Maryland man," who was recently deported after being caught driving a car belonging to a human smuggler. Despite being an illegal immigrant and a gang member, Democrats continue to champion this individual, even though he is not a U.S. citizen. Cattell argues that it's wrong for the left to push for the rights of someone who is breaking the law and isn't even entitled to the same protections as citizens, challenging their claims of due process.

Hour 3 of the Marc Cox Morning Show begins with Jim Carafano discussing Russia, foreign diplomacy, and the potential peace deal in Ukraine. He touches on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's recent statements about nearing a resolution and highlights President Trump's unique role in addressing the root causes of the conflict. Next, Marc is joined by Brian Cattell, Senior Partner at CLP Strategies, to dive into the controversial case of an illegal immigrant, who Democrats have been championing as the “Maryland man.” Despite his gang affiliation and status as an illegal immigrant, Cattell discusses how the left's insistence on defending him, even though he's not a U.S. citizen, challenges the core principles of due process and American law. The hour concludes with Kim St. Onge's Kim on a Whim, where she takes on the rising issue of anti-Semitism on college campuses across the nation. Kim breaks down the growing concern about intolerance and the troubling increase in anti-Jewish rhetoric within academic institutions.

The path from athlete to entrepreneur to investor is paved with hard-won wisdom that few possess. Chris Van Dusen, Senior Partner at Sully Coy Capital, embodies this journey—transforming a career-ending baseball injury into the foundation for entrepreneurial success and eventually becoming a sought-after venture capitalist specializing in sports technology.What separates successful founders from the rest? According to Chris, it's not just about great ideas but resilience in the face of setbacks. Drawing parallels between athletic discipline and entrepreneurial grit, he shares candid insights about the romanticized versus realistic nature of building companies. "Everyone talks about exits, but nobody discusses the graveyard of failed ventures behind each success," Chris reveals, acknowledging his own eight failures behind three successful exits.His investment philosophy focuses on companies with proven product-market fit ready for strategic growth capital. We dive deep into FluidLogic, a revolutionary hydration technology originally developed for motorsports that's now expanding into military and industrial applications. The company exemplifies what Chris looks for—innovative solutions to fundamental problems with applications across multiple verticals.For founders seeking investment, Chris offers rare transparency about the venture process, explaining why cold pitches rarely succeed and how relationship networks drive the best deals. He emphasizes the critical difference between "just needing money" and finding strategic partners who bring industry expertise and connections that accelerate growth far beyond what capital alone provides.Perhaps most valuable is his direct advice to aspiring entrepreneurs: "Just start." Understanding the difference between low-risk "two-way doors" where you can experiment versus high-commitment "one-way doors" like taking outside investment could save countless founders from premature failure. Focus on dominating one market before expanding, and recognize when your company needs visionary leadership versus operational management.Ready to build something meaningful?
