On She Built It®, Lori Casselman, a 20-year healthcare executive turned founder, shares what it took to build June Health, Canada's first virtual clinic providing complete care across every stage of women's health.Lori talks about the opportunity she sees for AI to close the gender health equity gap, the leadership lessons that come with scaling a startup in healthcare, and the culture principles she fiercely protects inside a fully virtual team. She's candid about the hardest parts of building, including the moment you realize a team member who helped you get here may not be the right person to get you to the next stage, and honest about what keeps her grounded through the pressure of a very big mission. This conversation is for any founder building something that matters at the intersection of people, technology, and purpose.Connect with us:June Health WebsiteJune Health LinkedInJune Health InstagramLori Casselman LinkedInWork with She Built It® Media She Built It® Instagram She Built It® CEO, Melanie Barr InstagramMelanie Barr LinkedInShe Built It® LinkedIn

Sales and marketing alignment has been talked about for years. So why is it still such a persistent problem? In this episode we discuss one of the recurring issues highlighted in the latest State of Sales Report: the ongoing challenge of aligning sales, marketing and lead generation activity. Despite the rise of the CRO, revenue teams and integrated commercial structures, many organisations still experience tension between sales and marketing. Sales teams complain about lead quality. Marketing teams feel salespeople do not follow up properly. And when the numbers are missed, the “blame thrower” often comes out. In this practical and entertaining conversation, Simon, Anthony and Steve explore why the problem continues, why alignment is not solved by structure alone, and what sales and marketing teams can do to work better together. The discussion covers: The danger of “blamestorming” instead of solving the real problem Why the rise of the CRO has not automatically fixed alignment The importance of sales sharing the real voice of the customer Why marketing teams need to spend more time with salespeople and customers How salespeople can build stronger internal relationships with marketing Why involving sales early creates more ownership of marketing campaigns and product launches Whether marketing should be rewarded or recognised for sales outcomes Why revenue generation is a team sport, not a solo activity If you are a sales leader, marketing leader, CRO, account manager, business development professional or revenue leader, this episode will give you practical ideas for improving sales and marketing collaboration. Because if sales and marketing want to generate better revenue results, they need to stop throwing each other under the bus and start working as one team.

[00:30] Britain Is Broken (55 minutes) Brexit was pivotal—but without repentance, Britain's wounds have only worsened. Ten years after Brexit, Britain remains politically unstable, economically strained and deeply divided. The vote fulfilled a long-proclaimed warning by Herbert Armstrong that Britain would leave the EU—making Germany more dominant inside Europe.
The more important question might be: why are we still struggling with the same training problems we've had for twenty years?In this episode, we tackle a challenge facing nearly every contact center: new hire training that produces high attrition, slow ramp times, and inconsistent performance.The conversation started with a client losing roughly half of its new hires during training and another portion during nesting. Despite new technology, the outcomes felt painfully familiar.We explored some uncomfortable questions:Are organizations hiring the right people for the job?Do recruiters actually understand the roles they're filling?Are training programs teaching agents what to know instead of how to find answers?Why are contact centers still trying to memorize information that changes every few weeks?How much time do leaders spend observing their own training programs?Bob argues that many training failures begin before day one, with hiring processes that prioritize filling seats instead of finding the right fit.We also discuss one of the biggest missed opportunities in modern training:AI is changing how agents work, but many training organizations haven't changed how they train.As AI-powered knowledge systems, agent assist tools, and automation become standard, training leaders need a seat at the table. Yet in many organizations, training teams are disconnected from the technology decisions that will fundamentally reshape agent performance.One of the biggest insights from the discussion:The real opportunity isn't using AI to automate training.It's using AI to automate the things training used to spend time on so trainers can focus on the skills that matter most:Building rapportProblem solvingJudgmentDe-escalationRelationship-buildingHandling difficult conversationsTechnology changes.The fundamentals don't.Topics discussed:Why new hire attrition remains so highHiring mistakes that create training failuresTeaching agents how to find answers versus memorizing answersThe role of nesting and floor supportWhy training content quickly becomes obsoleteThe disconnect between training teams and AI initiativesAgent assist and the future of onboardingTough skills versus technical skillsWhy fundamentals still matter in modern contact centersHow AI should reshape training priorities

Most apartment operators think they know who they're competing against. According to Jonas Bordo, they're probably missing the bigger picture.In the second half of Reid's conversation with the Dwellsy CEO, Jonas explains why renters don't think in traditional comp sets, how AI could soon replace apartment search as we know it, and why the future belongs to open platforms that connect renters, properties, and intelligent agents. It's an eye-opening conversation about technology, consumer behavior, and the forces reshaping housing.Whether you're in multifamily, proptech, marketing, or operations, Jonas offers a fresh perspective on where the industry is headed—and why the biggest changes may arrive much sooner than most people expect.

Apartment search is overdue for a rebuild. In this episode, Reid sits down with Jonas Bordo, co-founder and CEO of Dwellsy, to unpack why the rental marketplace still struggles with stale listings, bad rent data, fraud, and outdated assumptions about how renters actually search. Jonas explains how final asking rent creates a more accurate picture of the market, why traditional comp sets are often hilariously wrong, and how Dwellsy is building a more open, comprehensive rental marketplace.The conversation also looks ahead to an agentic future, where renters may no longer scroll through endless listings at all. Instead, AI agents could search, compare, schedule tours, and even help negotiate leases on their behalf. For multifamily marketers, operators, and anyone still pretending apartment search works just fine, this episode is a very necessary wake-up call.

It has been over two years since FIDE implemented major changes to its rating system aimed at combating rating deflation. But are those changes actually working? My guest, Vlad Ghita, joins me to dig into the data. Vlad is a Romanian arbiter, instructor, and chess enthusiast with a master's degree in physics. In his new e-book, The Rating Revolution, he takes a rigorous, data-driven look at how the global rating system is functioning—and where it may still be falling short. We discuss: What Vlad calls the “participation paradox” Which countries may be the most underrated How age impacts rating expectations Why some players feel stuck despite improving Is the US rating system functioning more effectively than FIDE? As discussed in the episode, many of these issues stem from structural imbalances in the rating pool—something Vlad illustrates through extensive analysis of nearly one million games . In our conversation (and in his book), Vlad not only identifies problems but also proposes thoughtful solutions. As a dedicated coach and adult improver himself, he also shares practical advice for chess improvement. ; 0:00- Intro Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com.

0:00 - Cam Johnson is really going through it right now. He's struggling to make shots. He has a lingering ankle injury that's clearly bothering him.

At some point, a busted PP isn't an anomaly. It's who they are. 30:14 - Oh, by the way...some Avalanche executives were in the building for Flames @ Ducks last night in Anaheim. An old friend of ours plays for the Flames right now. Coincidence? Oh, by the way...Coach Bednar said he'll golf shirtless to play along with a course tradition.
