In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, Dave is joined by change facilitator and organizational alignment expert Erica Wexler to explore how companies can eliminate unseen barriers that slow performance, reduce trust, and stall transformation. Erica breaks down why disconnects between leadership and employees often stem from assumptions rather than clarity – and how redefining accountability as measurable action, not a label, transforms outcomes. She introduces her SHIFT framework (Social, Hybrid, Innovative Efficiencies, Feedback & Flexibility, Training & Time) and explains how systems thinking and applied neuroscience can be used to drive sustainable change.

What does it take to build durable growth in a $5.4 trillion tech market?
We're back with another power-packed highlight reel of our favorite conversations. In this episode, Jeff revisits big shifts shaping the partner + customer ecosystem:
In this episode of It's About to Go Down!, Marc and Cathey are joined by Josue Cevallos—a veteran, entrepreneur, and mindset mentor—who brings a powerful message: “Shift Happens… but you can Make Shift Happen.” What starts as a deep dive into unexpected life transitions quickly evolves into a masterclass on intentional transformation. From military service to entrepreneurship, Josue shares how letting go of your “cape” (aka your former identity) is not about loss—it's about evolution. This episode explores: The emotional anatomy of a shift: fear, identity, acceptance, and action and why comfort zones are dangerous and disruption is necessary. Whether you're navigating a transition or feeling stuck, this conversation reminds us that we don't have to wait for life to make us shift—we can choose to Make Shift Happen.

What is it that fascinates us in art? What does a painting do to us? Why do artists do what they do?Art is such a vast and individuell yet universal field to explore. When and why does an artist become an artist?In my conversation with New York based, American-Pakistani artist, Tanya Minhas, we explore the invisible in art. Tanya shares her fascination for nature and the tiny moments, that inspire her thinking and her work.She shares the moment, that made it inevitable for her to commit fully to a life as an artist. It had to do with facing challenges, grief and searching for a language to be able to truly express herself and her emotions. ( As she quoted from a book she once read "Life is not all HiHi-HaHa"). Words would not suffice, and she strongly felt that the only true, freeing and authentic language for her was found in speaking through art. So she did and committed to fully be and live as an artist.Tanya's Pakistani heritage strongly influences her work, which particularly reflects in her current show. Tanya integrates and balances her artistic practice with family life - working when possible in a meditative state.Tanya Minhas has been showing her work successfully throughout the Eastcoast in various group shows and exhibitions. Her current solo show "A Tapestry of Dreams" is on view in New York City with her gallery Winston Wächter. Tanya holds a degree from Princeton University and an MBA from Columbia University. She started her career in management consulting, yet later joined the Arts Student League and studied portrait painting under MaryBeth McKenzie, to eventually move into abstract work.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

Listen in and feel heard, by the story of a woman who dedicates her work tirelessly to improve the positioning of women in leadership.When she started her career in corporate banking, and quickly moved through the ranks, to become a high-performer, Dr. Anino Emuwa noticed deeply rooted biases, when she became a mother, despite continuously presenting excellent results. She shares how she had to try hard to convince her colleagues, that she will not be working less, but differently and that everyone will need to get flexible. She realized how in general systematic issues beyond individual performance were holding women back.Dr. Anino shifted her focus to improving global business and society through gender equality leadership.She shares how she organically grew her global community 100 Women @ Davos including women from 109 countries. And emphsizes how change and shifts only happen when people work together towards a united goal and with a united purpose: full representation of women in leadership (even though at current pace this will approximately take another 200 years ...).She talks about barriers to women's leadership: historical workplace structures, socialization of both men and women in traditional roles, organisational policies and cultures that don't reward assertiveness in women, need for equipping women with knowledge and networks. We also discuss how men in leadership need to actively speak out and challenge hierarchical norms - still too little men are vocal to drive significant change. Dr. Anino is a global expert on women's leadership and works at the intersection of emerging technologies, entrepreneurship and inclusion. She serves on the boards of several organisations, ,is a LinkedIn top voice on gender equity and a TEDx speaker. She served as a judge, coach and regional leader for the Cartier Women's Initiative.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

She shifted and worked as a producer, comedy teacher, and writer to stay connected in the business.At 59 she had a break through idea: Funny Women of A Certain Age. A stand up comedy show featuring older comedian women. With a talent pool of about 100 artists, Carole has been producing shows for the past ten years, TV channel SHOWTIME made three Comedy Specials with Funny Women of A Certain Age.Listen to a conversation about ageism, about how funny never gets old, and about facing the truth.

In triathlon, transitions are part of the race. They can feel frantic or smooth, fast or slow. And in life, transitions can often feel the same way. Some are exciting- like the birth of a baby or moving to a new house; some can be jarring- like the loss of a loved one or a unexpected job change. And these changes shape not only who we are, but also how we show up in sport. This episode dives into the messy, powerful, and often unexpected changes that we all face, and how those shifts redefine our training, racing, and mindset. We share our big life shifts that are happening right now in our own lives; how we all can deal with the changes and adapt in order to become stronger as humans and as athletes.

After an early career in the nonprofit sector, Rachel transitioned into the clean beauty industry and worked with various brands and retailers. And built her expertise and passion.When she was pregnant with her second child, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This experience propelled her to launch her own business post-remission. Rachel is helping women (and men) to navigate and personalise the clean beauty space.Her beauty philosophy and recommendations are simple but efficient: focus on lips, eyes and underarms as key areas for clean product adoption. She emphasizes efficacy and plant-based alternatives in clean beauty. And has a range of brands that she recommends and curates for individual needs.Rachel also advocates for occasional breaks from deodorant use, especially for breast cancer survivors.Her daily rituals for her personal wellness and recovery are morning prayers, co-sleeping with her youngest child, intermittend fasting and a plant-basesd diet. And she is avid in her workout routine on 6 times per week.For her business she is planning on expanding into her own studio space to receive clients in person.

The 7 Profitable Parts of a Business with James Brown If you think scaling a business means sacrificing your life, family, and freedom—this episode will shatter that belief. In this week's episode of The Profit Answer Man, we talk to James Brown, the founder of Perseverance Squared and the Business Accelerator Institute, who shares how he built an $8M law firm across four cities—without grinding 80-hour weeks. Instead, he built a business that bought back his time, gave him freedom, and funded his life purpose. Whether you're a solo operator, multi-location service provider, or scaling a firm—this episode gives you the roadmap to do it profitably and sustainably, all while putting Profit First. In This Episode, You Will Learn: How James went from GM assembly lines to law school to running an $8M firm. The myth of the hustle and why "buying back your time" must be part of your strategy. The game-changing moment Profit First reshaped how he viewed business finance. How he systematized his firm so well, he could travel for weeks—and revenue didn't drop. The difference between a business owner and an operator (and how to become the former). What you can implement today to take your hands off the wheel without crashing your business. Key Takeaways: Build to Exit Before You Need To. James sold his law firm at 49—not because he had to, but because he planned for it. “I never wanted to be 60 and still reviewing client files,” he said. Profit is a Habit, Not an Event. Switching to Profit First forced him to be intentional. He stopped hoping for leftovers and started allocating profit first—literally. If You're the Bottleneck, You're the Problem. The business didn't need him. That was the goal. "I designed my firm so I could leave at a moment's notice," James shared. The systems ran the business. Business Should Fund Your Life—Not Consume It. When his son got a last-minute hockey invite in Europe, he packed up and went for three weeks. No stress. That's the power of designing the right systems from day one. Coaching Is a Force Multiplier. James has now helped over 450 business owners scale smarter—not harder—through his coaching and accelerator programs. Guest Bio: James Brown is the CEO and Founder of Business Accelerator Institute and Perseverance Squared. He launched his first business in 1994 and scaled it to $8M in revenue, eventually selling it to pursue his passion for coaching entrepreneurs. As a former fractional CEO and SLFU Program Manager, he launched Small Law Firm University and developed a marketing program generating $2M annually. James is the co-author of the best-selling book Shift Happens and holds a JD from St. Louis University and a business degree from Lindenwood University. Conclusion: Are You Running a Business or Just Working a Job? James' story proves what we teach: a business should be built to give you time, money, and freedom—not steal them from you. If you're stuck in the weeds, constantly solving problems, and unsure where your profit is going—it's time for a change. You don't have to build alone. We're here to help you implement Profit First, take control of your cash flow, and scale strategically.

Rather than the talent pipeline issue being a major concern, Mike emphasizes that by using oft-discussed themes of the show like mental health awareness, strong workplace relationships, and putting people in positions to do work they love, everyone can get more out of their careers and see increased engagement and fulfillment, which can benefit every person and organization from top to bottom.
