What if the path to powerful leadership doesn't start with strategy, but with shadow?In this week's episode of the ManKind Podcast, Dr. Max Klau returns to explore the deep inner work necessary to grow authentic, servant-hearted leaders at scale. Drawing from decades of experience at City Year, the New Politics Leadership Academy, and now his newest venture—the Center for Courageous Wholeness—Max unpacks how confronting our inner fears, projections, and disconnections unlocks our ability to lead with integrity and purpose.We discuss the roots of servant leadership, how unexamined values can limit even the most well-meaning service work, and why every leader must engage their shadow to show up fully in the world. With a balance of personal insight, proven frameworks, and spiritual grounding, Max offers a clear call: to change the world, we must first do the work within.Whether you're a seasoned changemaker or just waking up to your call to serve, this episode will challenge and inspire you.Check out the upcoming workshop on July 23, 2025.Center for Courageous Wholeness: https://www.centerforcourageouswholeness.org/Max Klau's Website: https://www.maxklau.com/ BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

Today's guest is Neil Bhandar, Chief Data Analytics Officer for Generac. Neil brings decades of experience in artificial intelligence, from academic research to enterprise-scale implementation across manufacturing and financial services. He joins Emerj Managing Editor Matt DeMello to explore the hidden costs of building AI in-house, the risks of over-relying on large models, and how service organizations can deploy GenAI to improve efficiency and preserve institutional knowledge. Neil shares how GenAI is helping field teams access hard-to-find information in real-time — reducing the need for costly site visits and accelerating issue resolution. He also explains why human empathy remains essential in last-mile service roles, even as AI tools take on more diagnostic and decision-making responsibilities. Finally, Neil offers practical advice for enterprise leaders evaluating AI partnerships — emphasizing cultural alignment, modularity, and the need to protect what makes their organizations uniquely competitive.

When you're outgunned, under-resourced, and facing giants, success takes more than speed. It takes teamwork, message discipline, and relentless coordination.That's how the Rebel Alliance defeats the Galactic Empire, and it's how great B2B marketing teams win in the real world. In this episode, we unpack marketing lessons from the Star Wars saga with special guest Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from thinking like a startup, aligning cross-functional teams, and building content strategies that deliver across every touchpoint.About our guest, Eric HerzogEric Herzog is the Chief Marketing Officer at Infinidat. Prior to joining Infinidat, Herzog was CMO and VP of Global Storage Channels at IBM Storage Solutions. His executive leadership experience also includes: CMO and Senior VP of Alliances for all-flash storage provider Violin Memory, and Senior Vice President of Product Management and Product Marketing for EMC's Enterprise & Mid-range Systems Division.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Star Wars:Business is a team sport. Great marketing doesn't happen in silos. Whether you're a startup or a global enterprise, success depends on alignment across every function. Eric says, “In marketing, having all kinds of people running around with different functions is wrong. They all need to work together in what I call a completely vertically integrated marketing.” Your message, your content, your sales strategy. it all has to move as one.Message discipline wins hearts and minds. When you can't outspend the competition, out-message them. A clear, consistent story can be your greatest weapon. “You need to win the hearts of the minds of your customers, and your prospects, and your channel, and your sales team,” Eric says. If your message isn't aligned, neither is your market.Think like a startup (no matter your size). Speed, focus, and adaptability aren't just startup traits; they're must-haves for any marketing team. Eric explains, “ The most successful big companies in overall functions, as well as in their marketing function, try to act like a startup.” Whether you're leading a lean team or navigating a Fortune 500 org, it's that startup mindset that helps you outmaneuver slower, more bureaucratic competitors.Quote“Business is a team sport, and a subteam of marketing as part of the business is a team sport too. If you don't work as a team, the empire will crush you. You need to be like the Rebel Alliance and all work together.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat[01:08] Why Star Wars?[01:54] Role of CMO at Infinidat[03:03] Origins of Star Wars[08:52] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Star Wars[30:04] Infinidat's Content Strategy[33:39] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Eric on LinkedInLearn more about InfinidatAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

On today's episode, we sit down with Kaye Gitibin, CEO of Go Rentals, and discuss what it takes to be a top-of-mind lifestyle brand for anyone who needs a vehicle, regardless of occasion or location. BACKGROUND: Kaye Gitibin is the CEO of Go Rentals, the only car rental company specializing in private aviation, private client, and 4- and 5-star hotels and resorts. As CEO, Kaye's primary focus has been on aligning the company's unique business model with the day-to-day operations that live up to that vision. That means 25 years of experience building a brand that caters to high net worth individuals and successful families across the U.S. What started with one location has grown into 100+ locations and a proprietary, gold-standard training program that focuses on hospitality and etiquette. The result is the only Forbes-rated elite rental car company in the world for the last two years. Kaye also proudly sits on the National Business Aviation Association's Leadership Council which shapes public policy, while also enhancing safety and security standards, and supporting members' everyday needs in the U.S. and abroad. When he's not working on the business of Go Rentals, Kaye travels constantly, with the goal to visit each office location (and there are a lot) once per year. He loves his Go Rentals family and spends as much time with them as possible – after all, it is a family-owned business and has been from the day they opened the doors. gorentals.com Instagram: gorentals SUBSCRIBE TO ICONIC HOUR If you enjoyed today's podcast, I'd be so appreciative if you'd take two minutes to subscribe, rate and review ICONIC HOUR.

In this heartwarming and inspiring episode, Susan Ryan welcomes 99-year-old Peg McLaughlin and her daughter Marguerite for a moving conversation about Peg's extraordinary life. A lifelong nurse, mother of five, and dedicated community volunteer, Peg shares stories from her upbringing in Providence, R.I., her career in obstetrics and pediatrics, and decades of service to others—whether through scouting, church ministries, or her local food bank. Now living in assisted living after having given up driving at age 98, Peg reflects on adjusting to a new chapter of life, maintaining her faith and independence, and finding purpose through connection, compassion, and resilience. Margie offers loving insights into her mother's unwavering generosity and quiet impact on those around her. Some of Peg's words of wisdom: • Service doesn't end with age—it evolves. • Maintaining social connection and purpose is key to aging well. • Faith, humor, and a giving heart sustain a life of longevity. Together, their reflections offer a beautiful portrait of aging, humor, and heart.

Have you ever met someone that lives one integrated life? They seem to flow seamlessly between their work and personal life without pause or care.  What is this? It's authenticity. And its attraction is unparalleled. How is it possible? It's living a life based on Godly values. I'd hazard a guess a person like this lives their values in this order: God, Family, and Service.  When we LIVE BY our values, decisions are easier, relationships are easier, and knowing where to invest our time, talent and treasure is easier. Because our values ARE our priority. And our heart lines up with our values, and those line up with our thoughts, our thoughts then direct our words and actions.  How are YOU living your values at work today?

WBZ NewsRadio's James Rojas reports.

Joe Schafranek is an Account Manager at Tread Partners, a marketing agency focused on the tire and auto repair industry. With roots in Detroit and hands-on shop experience at Firestone and Big O, Joe brings a unique perspective to digital marketing through his understanding of both operations and data. Prior to Tread Partners, he helped grow BAIC and explored data-centric roles in the auto aftermarket. Today, Joe leverages that diverse background to help multi-location shops increase car count through performance-driven strategies. In this episode… Marketing in the auto repair industry often feels confusing and inconsistent, especially for multi-location shop owners. With so many digital channels and buzzwords, it's hard to know what's actually driving car count and boosting business. How can tire dealers make smarter marketing decisions based on data and results, not guesswork? According to Joe Schafranek of Tread Partners, it starts by focusing on transparency and measurable results. Joe leverages his real-world shop experience and data expertise to help clients improve performance using tailored PPC campaigns, SEO strategy, and localized promotions. He emphasizes the importance of tying marketing activity directly to car count and revenue growth — not just impressions or traffic. On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge welcomes Joe Schafranek for a conversation about data-driven marketing in the tire and auto repair space. Joe explains how to tie marketing efforts directly to car count and revenue, why transparency matters, and how shop owners can avoid wasting budget on ineffective campaigns. He also shares a case study on how a $250 Facebook ad led to $22K Saturdays. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:  [03:48] How hockey and family life shaped Joe Schafranek's community involvement [06:34] Lessons Joe learned from managing Big O franchise stores in Arizona [07:43] Joe's transition into digital marketing and data roles [10:37] Why revenue isn't always the best indicator of marketing success [12:23] The importance of new customer acquisition for long-term growth [18:52] How experience helps Joe prevent clients from wasting ad spend [19:58] What excites Joe most about working in marketing for tire dealers? Resources mentioned in this episode: Joe Schafranek on LinkedIn  Tread Partners BAIC Global TJ White on LinkedIn Tire Source Mike Edge on LinkedIn Quotable Moments "You don't know what you don't know — there's a whole world of discovery out there every day." "The best campaigns are the ones that fill your bays, not just your inbox." "Marketing success should be tied to car count and revenue, not just clicks and impressions." "Transparency works both ways — clients should know what's working, and we need to know how it's executed." "Even small campaigns, like a $250 Facebook ad, can have huge returns if done right." Action Steps Rethink how you measure marketing ROI: Focus on car count and specific service conversions, not just traffic or impressions. Run local Facebook ads to test promotions: Try low-cost campaigns targeting service-specific offers to boost visibility and appointments. Invest in transparency with your marketing team: Share performance data both ways — ad results and in-shop execution. Use digital tools to track campaign effectiveness: Leverage reporting that ties ads to phone calls, form fills, and actual sales. Target new customer acquisition regularly: Offset the average 15% annual shrinkage by always growing your base strategically. Sponsor for this episode...

Great marketing doesn't start with a message; it starts with a mindset shift. If you want to make people feel something, you need more than a clever campaign. You need a story that invites them in and reflects something true.That's the magic of the “Assume That I Can” campaign, where simplicity meets significance, and storytelling sparks real cultural shift. In this episode, we unpack the power of that message with the help of our special guest, Mike Barton, VP of Corporate Communications and Content Marketing at AudioEye.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building accessible experiences, confronting audience assumptions, and crafting stories that create real connection.About our guest, Mike BartonMike is a marketing and communications leader dedicated to making the internet more accessible for all. As Vice President of Corporate Communication & Content Marketing at AudioEye, Mike leads marketing strategy, driving awareness and demand through blogs, social media, PR, video, and digital storytelling. Previously, at Adobe, he shaped content and executive messaging across Experience Cloud, Creative Cloud enterprise, and Document Cloud. With deep expertise in customer engagement and industry-specific storytelling, Mike excels at aligning business objectives with audience needs—crafting compelling narratives that resonate with C-suite leaders, end users, and decision-makers across industries.What B2B Companies Can Learn From “Assume That I Can” campaign:Start with the barrier, not the message. Before you talk about your product, talk about what's standing in the way. The best campaigns don't lead with features; they lead with mindset shifts. “If your audience already believed what you want them to believe, they'd be acting on it,” Mike explains. “What's the belief barrier that we need to identify and then either bring it down or address it?” Identify the roadblock first. Then your message has somewhere to go.Simplicity scales. Forget the fluff. The most effective campaigns are clear, precise, and emotionally resonant. Mike says, “The best ideas don't need paragraphs, they just need precision.” That's what made the “Assume That I Can” campaign so powerful: four words packed with meaning. Make your message easy to share and impossible to forget.Build stories people can see themselves in. If your marketing is talking at people, you've already lost them. Great content invites the audience into the story. Mike explains, “Connection and empathy really manifest when the person you're talking to sees themself in the story.” Whether it's about accessibility or enterprise software, lead with humanity. That's what makes people care.Quote*“ Data informs, but emotion transforms. And it's not that these are two mutually exclusive delivery mechanisms…it's really bringing data and emotion together. And as we saw in the “Assume That I Can” campaign, it was through the voice of somebody who had Down Syndrome. So we're constantly bringing in blind people or deaf people, or people who have mobility issues and letting them tell their story.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Mike Barton, VP, Corporate Communication & Content Marketing at AudioEye[01:13] Why the 'Assume That I Can' Campaign?[03:04] Mike's Role at Audio Eye[07:23] Breaking Down the 'Assume That I Can' Campaign[11:33] How to Make Your Content Accessible[15:13] B2B Marketing Takeaways from the Campaign[29:44] Addressing Belief Barriers in Marketing[31:58] Connecting Through Empathy and Storytelling[33:09] Marketing Strategy at Audio Eye[35:09] The Importance of Accessibility in Digital Experiences[36:02] Combining Data and Emotion for Impact[46:00] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Mike on LinkedInLearn more about AudioEyeAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

This ensures quality and consistency, even as they plan for future growth. Actionable Advice: Start simple.** Perfect your core offerings before expanding. Scale thoughtfully.** Add new items or services only when you can maintain your standards. Stay true to your vision.** Don't chase trends that don't fit your brand or capabilities. 9.

Their playful dynamic and mutual respect set a positive example for their team. Actionable Advice: Set boundaries.** Even in the early days, plan for rest and recovery. Build a strong team.** Invest in training and create opportunities for staff to grow. Celebrate together.** Recognize hard work and milestones as a team. 10.
