When every board discussion centers on deficits, deferred maintenance, or another “strategic realignment,” higher education leaders start asking what it would take to fix the system instead of just managing decline. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Beth Martin, President of Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), who led her institution through a complete financial and operational turnaround—eliminating institutional debt through strategic real estate use, risk planning, and sound financial governance. Martin's experience offers a rare look at what it takes to execute a true higher education turnaround. She shares how NDNU's leadership aligned governance, mission, and financial strategy to not only survive but rebuild a sustainable model focused on graduate and online growth. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, trustees, CFOs, and institutional leaders facing financial strain, considering asset monetization, or preparing for large-scale organizational change. Topics Covered: How NDNU executed a debt-free turnaround through real estate strategy and risk planning Applying business planning and systems theory to higher education transformation Managing institutional debt while investing in academic and technological infrastructure Governance structures that enable speed, trust, and accountability during turnaround Aligning presidents, boards, and sponsoring orders in complex financial transactions Leading cultural and organizational change while maintaining mission and morale Real-World Examples Discussed: NDNU's 46-acre land transaction that retired institutional debt and funded new programs Sequencing real estate sales to support strategy instead of short-term survival Governance reform guided by a skills matrix and board-chair alignment Realigning academic programs around graduate and online learning Faculty and staff engagement during institutional transition Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Treat land monetization as strategy, not salvage. Link every major financial decision to a defined business plan and measurable outcomes. Integrate business and risk planning into every turnaround. Build contingencies for timing, regulation, and accreditation challenges. Strengthen governance alignment. A unified president and board chair, supported by a skills-based board, determine turnaround success.

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kanwal P. S. Raghav, MBBS, MD, about the role of fruquintinib (Fruzaqla) in the treatment of adult patients with pretreated, metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Dr Raghav is a professor in the Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology in the Division of Cancer Medicine, associate vice president of the Department of Ambulatory Medical Operations, and executive medical director of the Department of Ambulatory Treatment Centers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. In our exclusive interview, Dr Raghav discussed the mechanism of action of fruquintinib, key efficacy data from the phase 3 FRESCO (NCT02314819) and FRESCO-2 (NCT04322539) trials, the treatment settings where this agent is most frequently administered, and adverse effects to be aware of. He also noted how the role of fruquintinib in earlier lines of therapy has yet to be defined due to a lack of optimal predictive biomarkers. Dr Raghav concluded by emphasizing the importance of clinical trials for improving outcomes for patient with CRC.

We dropped a stat this week that stopped Nate in his tracks: brands can see up to 42% more sales just by framing discounts the right way. No new ads, no extra products...just choosing percent off vs. dollar off at the right moment. In Episode 105, we dig into the psychology behind that lift and why most brands blow Q4 by overcomplicating offers, stacking promos, and teaching customers not to trust them. Inside the conversation: ✅ The science behind when to use % off vs. $ off (and why it changes sitewide vs. single product) ✅ The 5 offer types we see every year — and which ones are worth your testing budget ✅ Why “combo deals” and “sale extended” emails wreck trust long-term ✅ Sequencing tactics (like Nate's “Better Than Black Friday” play) that build urgency without burning credibility ✅ Why sometimes the boldest Q4 strategy is raising prices, not cutting them If you've ever wondered: 1. How to simplify offers so customers don't need a calculator 2. Why half-off deals aren't always the flex you think they are 3. How to build trust during the most profitable month of the year 4. And why less discounting can actually mean more margin …this one's for you. Season 3 keeps pushing, and the data's spicy.

Starboard is building AI-first infrastructure to transform global trade by improving the productivity of freight forwarders—the central coordinators who connect 15-20 different parties in every international trade transaction. With 15 years of experience in the industry, including roles at Maersk, BCG, and Flexport, Sumeet Trehan saw an opportunity to modernize an industry that has invested heavily in physical infrastructure but neglected technological innovation. The company has raised $5.5 million and is approaching $1 million ARR while creating an entirely new category they call "AI-first forwarders." Topics Discussed: Building AI infrastructure to automate freight forwarding coordination and quoting processes Creating a new category in the traditional, relationship-driven logistics industry Go-to-market strategies for selling to an "old boys club" industry that operates differently from typical SaaS markets The founder's decision to personally handle the first 20-30 sales before hiring any sales staff Vision for transforming global trade by creating a comprehensive platform for small-to-mid-sized importers GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Cold calling still works in traditional industries: Starboard generates significant top-of-funnel activity through direct cold calling, with freight forwarders actually appreciating the personal touch. Sumeet's team achieves a 10% pickup rate and converts 15-20% of answered calls to discovery meetings by being upfront about the cold call nature and immediately focusing on business outcomes. The approach works because their target market—freight forwarders—are accustomed to making and receiving cold calls as part of their daily business operations. Door-to-door prospecting remains viable for relationship-driven markets: In industries where personal relationships dominate, physical presence can be a differentiator. Starboard literally brings donuts to prospects' offices, which works because their target market values face-to-face interactions. This approach only makes sense when your industry culture supports it and when the lifetime value of customers justifies the time investment. Founders should personally execute early sales to understand the playbook: Rather than immediately hiring sales staff after raising funding, Sumeet chose to personally close the first 20-30 deals. This allowed him to deeply understand customer pain points, refine the sales process, and develop a replicable methodology before bringing on sales team members. Only after proving out the top-of-funnel motion did he hire his first SDR, and only after closing 15-20 deals did he hire a sales leader. Physical implementation presence drives early-stage product adoption: For complex B2B products still achieving product-market fit, being physically present during implementation creates stronger relationships and better feedback loops. Starboard's team travels to be on-site when clients first use the product, which helps with both adoption rates and product development insights. They maintain ongoing communication through WhatsApp and Teams channels rather than Slack, adapting to their customers' preferred communication methods. Category creation requires education over product promotion: Starboard's marketing strategy focuses entirely on educating the market about AI's potential impact on logistics rather than promoting their specific product. By speaking at events, writing blogs, and participating in podcasts about industry transformation rather than Starboard features, they position themselves as thought leaders. This approach builds trust and creates demand for the category before potential customers are ready to evaluate specific solutions. Sequencing product development based on customer feedback: The company's current quoting product serves as a wedge, with plans to expand into marketplace functionality and then full operations automation. Each expansion builds on customer relationships and data from the previous phase. This measured approach to product development ensures each step creates value while building toward the larger vision of comprehensive trade infrastructure. // 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.

It takes intentional effort to put things into helpful sequencing. When we take time to do it, though, it can push back against anxiety in significant ways!
Sarah Elk, Senior Partner at Bain & Company and global leader of its operating model work, brings a clear, pragmatic lens to why so many large-scale change efforts fail to stick. Drawing on decades of advising multinational organizations, she diagnoses the structural and behavioral traps that cause transformations to stall, and shares the disciplines that make change durable. Elk emphasizes that transformation is not a one-off program but an enduring capability that must be “led from the top and embedded in the culture.” She cautions against outsourcing responsibility to a program office: “If the CEO is not leading it and the leadership team isn't engaged in the change, you might get something done, but it will erode quickly.” Key Insights from the Conversation: Clarity on Non-Negotiables Many failed transformations lack a shared definition of the “non-negotiables” in the new operating model. Without them, execution becomes fragmented. “You have to be crystal clear on what's standard and what's flexible.” Outcomes Over Activity Successful change efforts anchor to measurable business results, not just activity metrics or generic benchmarks. “It's not about hitting 80 percent of a checklist. It's about whether you've moved the needle on the outcomes you care about.” Leadership Alignment Is a Continuous Process Alignment isn't built in a single offsite; it requires ongoing dialogue, joint problem-solving, and confronting decisions that challenge entrenched interests. “You need the leadership team acting as one—every week, every month—not just at the kickoff.” Manage Change Fatigue Overloading the organization erodes momentum. Sequencing initiatives and celebrating visible early wins tied to strategy helps sustain energy. “People get tired. You have to show progress and give them space to breathe.” Governance, Incentives, and Talent Must Evolve Together Elk warns that without parallel changes to systems and structures, “behavior will revert to what it was before.” The discussion reframes transformation from a high-profile event into a muscle organizations must build and maintain. For executives seeking change that endures beyond the initial push, Elk offers a blueprint grounded in operational rigor, leadership accountability, and cultural realism.

Stool testing technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, with newer methods like PCR and whole-genome sequencing offering faster and more precise insights into the gut microbiome. These innovations have transformed how clinicians approach gut health, allowing for more targeted interventions. However, older technologies—such as microscopy, culture, and enzyme-based assays—still play a valuable role. These methods provide functional insights that molecular tools may miss, such as direct observation of parasites or assessment of digestive markers. The most comprehensive labs recognize that no single method gives the full picture. Instead, combining the strengths of both modern and traditional techniques ensures more accurate, clinically meaningful results. In this episode, we dive into the pros and cons of different laboratory methodologies used in stool testing—from culture and microscopy to PCR and advanced sequencing. We break down how these choices impact accuracy, sensitivity, and clinical usefulness. You'll also learn why Genova Diagnostics stands out for its integrative, evidence-based approach, combining multiple testing methods to deliver the most comprehensive and clinically actionable results available.

(00:01) Powerful Golf Swing Techniques for Distance This chapter explores the importance of power in golf, emphasizing how crucial it is to utilize the ground effectively for better performance. Broadcasting from Talking Rock Ranch in Prescott, Arizona, we discuss the mechanics of power in the golf swing, explaining that it all starts from the ground up. By pushing against an immovable object like the ground, energy is generated and transferred through the body to the arms, enhancing the swing's speed and effectiveness. We highlight the common misconception that power is solely about body rotation, when in reality, timing the push against the ground is key. Through power schools and practical demonstrations, we explain how to harness this energy properly, ensuring that it is released at the right moment in the swing for maximum impact. (12:25) Swing Sequencing Tools for Golf This chapter focuses on the importance of proper sequencing in a golf swing and how it impacts energy transfer from the lower body through to the club. We explore the common issue of being out of sequence, where the arms move ahead of the torso, leading to inefficient swings. A simple solution proposed is using a rope to practice, as it naturally enforces correct sequencing since you cannot push on it. This technique helps maintain the correct order of movement: lower body, torso, arms, and then the club. Additionally, I introduce a homemade training aid using a PVC pipe inside a swim noodle to provide comfort while practicing chest rotations. This tool helps protect the arms and chest, ensuring a comfortable and effective practice session. (23:51) Improving Golf Ball Striking Technique This chapter explores the relationship between club head speed and effective ball striking in golf. While increasing club head speed is often emphasized for achieving greater distance, it is crucial to maintain contact with the center of the club face to optimize ball speed and overall performance. The importance of ball speed, spin, and launch angle in achieving longer shots is highlighted, and the potential pitfalls of focusing solely on club head speed are discussed. Additionally, the benefits of practicing with specialized equipment, such as the Tour Striker club, are examined. This unique club design encourages proper striking technique by requiring the golfer to drive the club downward and forward, thereby enhancing ball striking ability and maximizing smash factor. (27:04) Improving Distance With Proper Swing Integration This chapter explores the nuances of improving your golf game with specialized equipment and techniques. I discuss the benefits of using the Tour Striker club, which requires precise ball striking due to its design that forces players to de-loft the club for optimal launch angles and distance. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of hitting the center of the clubface to enhance distance and control, regardless of whether you're using the latest technology or a five-year-old driver. We also talk about using training aids with smaller club heads to improve accuracy and consistency. Furthermore, we cover tips on proper tee height and swing mechanics to achieve the desired launch angle and reduce spin. Finally, there's a humorous look at the use of martini tees and the common mistake of setting them too low, which can impact performance. (42:29) Putting Technique Improvement Through Visualization This chapter explores the importance of clarity and specificity in putting techniques, emphasizing the use of training tools like a putting rail to ensure the shaft and head of the putter move straight back and through. We discuss how the putter head will naturally arc, and it's crucial to focus on the straight movement of the hands and arms. I also share a personal anecdote about improving my pitching skills with Jeff's guidance, which has positively impacted my overall game. Notably, I overcame challenges with my five iron, successfully executing a beautiful 168-yard shot onto the green, highlighting the interconnectedness of honing different golf skills.
