If you've ever thought, “Why does my business only run when I'm running it?” — this episode is for you. In today's Summer Series episode, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at my newest course, Overwhelmed to Owning It — a 30-day plan designed to help you finally stop doing everything yourself (without it all falling apart). I created this course because I saw too many brilliant business owners stuck in survival mode — booked out, burned out, and secretly wondering if this pace is sustainable. It's not your fault. You've built something incredible… but no one ever taught you how to let go the right way. This isn't about becoming a productivity machine or finding the “perfect” hire. It's about building real support, reclaiming your time, and shifting into true CEO mode — even if you're starting small. Inside this episode, I'm sharing: What you'll learn in each of the 4 modules (plus the bonus!) Why this course is different from anything you've tried before Real-life results my clients are seeing from this framework What to expect from the beta round (and why you should join now) How to use our custom AI assistant to guide you step-by-step Whether you've tried to outsource before and it flopped… or you're brand new to the idea of delegation, Overwhelmed to Owning It is your permission slip to do less, lead more, and enjoy the business you've worked so hard to build.

What would shift if you finally stopped playing small and owned your worth, especially when it comes to money?In property management, it's easy to slip into hustle mode.

In this episode of the Scaling Wellness Podcast, DJ sits down with Erin Stebbins—a massage therapist, coach, and entrepreneur with a deep understanding of what it takes to grow a practice that's both sustainable and aligned with your values. Erin shares her journey from a rebellious, creative teenager to a seasoned business owner who's run both solo and multi-location massage practices. She reveals the messy beginnings of her business, how a Whole Foods chair massage gig led to buying a 25-employee company, and the hard-won lessons she's learned along the way. The conversation goes beyond just hiring and marketing. Erin dives into the mindset shift from being a technician to being an entrepreneur, the systems that free up mental bandwidth (personally and professionally), and why scaling doesn't always mean “more”—it means “more aligned.” She breaks down: The first things solo practitioners should outsource How to build systems that actually fit you Why personal assistants matter just as much as front desk staff The myths around being “fully booked” Why fun, freedom, and values are the real drivers of success Whether you're solo, scaling, or somewhere in between, this episode is a masterclass in designing a business that doesn't burn you out—but actually supports the life you want to live.

What if the reason your business isn't growing has nothing to do with your systems or your skills and everything to do with how you see yourself?In property management, we're experts at holding it all together. Juggling the inspections, the emails, the team questions, the urgent calls. We're flat out keeping the wheels turning. But somewhere along the way, we start to shrink. We default to ‘doing mode' and forget how to lead with purpose, confidence, and presence.We tell ourselves we need more time, better templates, or the right hire for team, but what if the real work starts with stepping up and being seen?Leadership isn't about being louder. It's about being truer. And sometimes the scariest thing isn't failing, it's showing up as who we really are.

What does it take to lead when you're out of your depth?This powerful Ask Denis episode answers a question from Denis' nephew: "How can I lead a team when I don't have experience in their specific field?"

Send us a textThe world of biologics manufacturing is undergoing a major transformation. Once dominated by traditional batch processes, the industry is now experiencing a marked shift toward continuous bioprocessing.But as companies contemplate this transition, two questions dominate strategic discussions: Will regulators accept continuous manufacturing? And, perhaps more pressingly, Does the business case justify making the switch?In this podcast episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, David Brühlmann dives into these pivotal topics - drawing insights from real-world case studies, regulatory updates, and economic analyses.Top three takeaways:Regulators Are On Board: The FDA, EMA, and global agencies now actively support continuous processing when robust controls and monitoring are in place.Real Economic Wins: Cost of goods reductions of up to 35% are possible at certain production scales, with much smaller facilities and lower risk of batch failure.Hybrid & Phased Approaches Work: Companies are finding success by first investing in enabling technologies and gradually transitioning, rather than making sudden changes.Continuous bioprocessing is no longer an experimental promise - it's an evolving standard. With regulatory bodies championing the shift, real-world implementations proving technical and economic viability, and strong financial incentives for the right manufacturers, the transition becomes not a question of “if,” but “when.”Curious how continuous manufacturing can fit into your strategy?

Imagine never breaking free from your current career path simply because you fear the unknown, or doubt whether you can succeed at charting a new professional course? Fear and doubt show up whenever we step into something new. But moving past fear and doubt can open up a whole new world of professional opportunities for you. Fear and doubt are intertwined. Fear is often a catalyst for doubt and doubt amplifies fear. This episode unpacks how to move past fear, and why courage is built through action, not absence of anxiety. In this episode, you will learn 5 strategies to help you move past fear and doubt when you want to pivot your career. Acknowledge the Doubt: Start by recognizing that doubt is a natural part of any major life change. Identify the Source: Try to pinpoint where their doubt is coming from. Reflect on Your Why: Revisit your motivations for wanting to pivot. Visualize Success: Use visualization techniques to imagine your success in a new career path. Take Action - When you take action you are intentionally moving past that fear and doubt as the action itself liberates you from the trappings of fear and doubt. Journaling activity: Ask yourself these 2 questions: 'What am I afraid will happen if I pivot my career—and is there truth in that fear?' ‘What can I do to overcome fear and doubt?' Fear loses power when we call it out. And its bestie, DOUBT will then have little to no power over use, or place in the path that lies ahead. Courage grows through momentum!!

But how you lead through it is what separates average leaders from extraordinary ones.Denis shares a 5-step approach to turn resistance into momentum. You'll learn how to respond with curiosity, communicate vision repeatedly, protect your team's energy, and have the tough conversations when needed. These strategies will help you not only reduce pushback but also grow stronger, more adaptive teams.#1: Start with Curiosity, Not ControlAsk: What's behind the hesitation, fear, fatigue, and lack of clarity?Don't label resistance as a problem; engage it as an opportunity“People support what they help create.”#2: Communicate the Why Again (and Again)One message isn't enough; repeat the vision in different waysLink change to personal and team impactAnchor transformation to the purpose of driving emotional buy-in#3: Address the Energy DrainersSome resistance is loud and contagious; don't let it spreadGive feedback respectfully, but protect the cultureMake it clear: feedback is welcome, sabotage is not#4: Coach for Growth or Make the CallOffer support and tools to adaptBut if resistance becomes a roadblock, take action“Leadership isn't about being liked, it's about doing what's right.”#5: Celebrate the AdaptersSpotlight those who lean in and take risksRecognition can shift team culture and create positive contagionLead change through example and energyKey Quotes:“Resistance isn't the enemy, silence is.” – Denis Gianoutsos“Leadership isn't just about being liked, it's about doing what's right for the mission and for the future.” – Denis GianoutsosBook a Strategy Call with Denis https://app.leadingchangepartners.com/widget/bookings/callwithdenisgianoutsos The 10 Proven Ways to Lead and Thrive in Today's World Executive Guide Featuring 10 Key Themes and 42 Strategic Insights from Worldwide Leaders https://crm.leadingchangepartners.com/10-ways-to-lead Connect with Denis:Email: denis@leadingchangepartners.comWebsite: www.LeadingChangePartners.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/denisgianoutsos LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/denisgianoutsos/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadershipischanging/ YouTube Channel:
Send us a textIn this episode, Tiago Matos, Associate Principal Scientist/Associate Director in Bioprocess Drug Substance and Commercialization at Merck & Co., shares a critical insight: continuous manufacturing in biologics currently demands 2–3x more time and FTEs than traditional fed-batch approaches. This highlights both the complexity of the shift - and the urgency for smarter digital tools and cross-functional collaboration.With over a decade of experience and a strong track record in biologics and smart manufacturing, Tiago brings a balanced view of the promise and practical challenges of digital transformation in bioprocessing.Top 3 Takeaways:Continuous Manufacturing is Coming - But Slowly: The infrastructure and tools aren't fully ready. Progress depends on better-integrated solutions and stronger collaboration across industry, equipment providers, and regulators.Collaboration is Key: No one drives transformation alone. Digital, automation, modeling, and process experts must work together - like building a functional protein from diverse amino acids.Digital Twins and AI Will Bridge the Gap: AI, soft sensors, and digital twins will help streamline control strategies. The goal isn't perfect models, but reliable, adaptive systems that improve in real time.Tiago's vision is both realistic and inspiring: the future of biologics manufacturing lies in openness, teamwork, and continuous learning.What challenges or questions do you face in the shift to digital bioprocessing?Here is what other guests had to say on this topic:Episodes 5-6: Hybrid Modeling: The Key to Smarter Bioprocessing with Michael Sokolov;Episodes 85-86: Bioprocess 4.0: Integrated Continuous Biomanufacturing with Massimo Morbidelli;Episodes 121-122: The Transformative World of Digital Solutions in Bioprocessing with Simon Wieninger.Connect with Tiago Matos:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tiagobmatosMerck & Co.: www.merck.comNext step:Transform your bioprocess development strategy with a complimentary consultation.

Your title and qualifications don't capture your full career pivot value. In fact, they only tell half of your professional story. So much of your real value - who you are, what you are passionate about, your career aspirations, etc. are not captured in what is found on your resume. If you've been wondering why you aren't attracting new opportunities, particularly the type of opportunities you want for the next phase of your career, then this episode may be exactly what you need to start your breakthrough. In this episode, I challenge you to ask yourself two questions: “What do I want to be known for?” and “How do I set myself apart professionally?” I share key strategies that can help you position yourself for a pivot by differentiating your professional profile with a strong personal brand. What you will learn: What is personal branding. Understand the process of strategically managing your public image. Why it's important for health professionals wanting to pivot careers. Importance of showcasing your unique skills, expertise, and value. How to craft a profile that expresses your value, demonstrates your interest and tells the world what you have to offer Consciously craft your online and offline presence to position yourself for a pivot TAKE ACTION: Spend some time reflecting on these points: Think about whether you have a personal brand and if you think you do, what does it say about you (you can ask others) Audit your digital profiles / online presence (what does it say about you?) If you don't yet have an established personal brand, ask yourself these 2 questions: ‘What do I want to be known for?” “How do I set myself apart?” Update one part of your online presence this week—your bio, profile photo, or headline—and align it with where you're going professionally, Start creating your Personal brand today!

Email marketing is one of the most overlooked tools in the real estate industry, but it's also one of the most powerful. Unlike social media, where you're at the mercy of algorithms, email gives you direct access to your audience and the chance to build genuine, long-term relationships.Whether you're nurturing cold leads, showcasing your expertise, or keeping clients in the loop, email lets you stay front of mind in a personal and consistent way. It's not just about selling, it's about creating value that builds trust and drives action.In this episode, I'm diving into how to turn your inbox into a lead-generating, relationship-building machine with the right strategy behind it.I'll walk you through the basics of building an email list, creating consistent value-packed content, and using tools like ChatGPT to make the process easier.

In a world where change is constant and disruption is the new normal, how do you grow without losing your grounding? Denis Gianoutsos shares five powerful strategies to help leaders stay sharp, self-aware, and connected to what matters most. From cultivating curiosity and walking the front lines to surrounding yourself with people who stretch your thinking, this episode is a roadmap to leadership that evolves with the times.Expect real talk, not buzzwords. Expect perspective shifts, not prescriptions. And expect to be challenged to rethink how you're showing up for your team, your mission, and yourself.Honoring Leadership Through ServiceDenis opens by recognizing ANZAC Day, emphasizing the legacy of courage and leadership in serviceLeadership starts with values like duty, sacrifice, and resilience#1: Embrace Lifelong LearningThe best leaders are constant learners—reading, listening, asking questionsAsk yourself: “What am I learning this month that will help me lead better next month?”Relevance starts with curiosity, not comfort#2: Stay Close to the Front LineGet out of your office and connect with your team, customers, and industryWalk the floors—listen, observe, and ask: “What are you hearing, seeing, and noticing?”Relevance is directly tied to awareness#3: Build Adaptability into Your DNAYou're not expected to have all the answers, but you must be flexibleLeaders need to let go of certainty and embrace innovationStretching beyond comfort zones leads to growth #4: Lead with Authenticity and PurposeAuthenticity stands out—know and lead from your valuesStop trying to be someone you're notIn change, people want honesty more than perfection#5: Build a High-Quality NetworkYou become like those you surround yourself withSurround yourself with thinkers, challengers, and growth-minded peersPut yourself in rooms where you're not the smartest personKey Quotes:If you're not growing, you're really falling behind.

Send us a textAs biotech labs rush to adopt AI tools for cell culture media development, a critical question emerges: Are we creating a generation of scientists who know which buttons to push but not why they're pushing them? The automation trap that once transformed laboratory workflows now threatens to fundamentally alter how we understand the complex dynamics of culture media composition and performance.In this second part of our conversation with Tom Fletcher, R&D Director at Fujifilm Irvine Scientific, host David Brühlmann explores the practical challenges of implementing AI in cell culture media development while preserving the scientific thinking that drives true innovation.Key Insights from Their Conversation:The Knowledge Generation Imperative: "Don't just think of your job as picking winners out of random experiments," Tom warns. He emphasizes that scientists must prioritize understanding why a specific media formulation works, not just that it works—a distinction that becomes critical as AI makes high-throughput media screening increasingly accessible.Bridging Disciplinary Divides: As teams become more diverse—incorporating data scientists, automation specialists, and traditional bioprocess experts—success depends on creating a collaborative culture where specialists learn to leverage each other's strengths without expecting everyone to have the same foundation in cell culture fundamentals.The Future Bioprocessing Landscape: Tom predicts that while platform media will dominate for speed to clinic, human roles will evolve toward managing automated, digitalized processes with fewer but more technically specialized staff. The media developers who thrive will be those who can maintain scientific rigor while harnessing the power of automation.For biotech leaders navigating this technological transition, Tom's advice is clear: "Embrace AI because I think we all believe it's valuable, but don't allow lazy science to creep in... if you don't resist it, people are going to get lazy and just say 'I've got this supercomputer and I know which buttons to push.' That's not good enough."If you enjoyed this conversation, be sure to explore how it all began:Episodes 1-2: Unlock the Power of Rational Media Design in Bioprocessing with Tom FletcherConnect with Tom Fletcher:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tomfletcher2FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific: www.irvinesci.comThe views and opinions expressed by Tom Fletcher are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Fujifilm Irvine Scientific or its affiliates.Next step:Transform your cell culture media development strategy with a complimentary consultation.

What if leadership wasn't a title, but a toolbelt?In this insightful and energizing episode, Denis sits down with Jack Cohen, founder of Dark Knight Ventures and former CEO of Cohen Financial, to unpack the deeper essence of leadership. Jack brings decades of wisdom across real estate, finance, and entrepreneurship, and a unique perspective shaped by Batman, bourbon, and his own “superhero complex.”Together, they explore why leadership must be seen as a verb, an active, evolving force, rather than a static noun. From redefining team success to challenging comfort-zone leadership, Jack offers powerful metaphors and hard-earned truths for leaders ready to stop reacting and start leading forward.Meet Jack Cohen: Investor, Operator, OptimizerFormer CEO of Cohen Financial, scaling it from $200M to $1BFounder of Dark Knight Ventures, a consultancy inspired by Batman's utility beltAuthor of The Freedom Framework and lifelong student of leadership and curiosityLeadership Is a Verb, Not a NounMany leaders “arrive” at a title and stop evolving; leadership must stay activeTrue leadership means guiding, guarding, and propping others upIt's about pulling others toward a shared future, not pushing them toward performanceCuriosity and Context: The Leader's SuperpowersJack's childhood heroes: Curious George and Batman (yes, really)Leadership today is about creating a context that others want to step intoThe quote that changed everything: “Follow the one who makes you curious where they're going.”Outcome Over Activity: Escaping the Tyranny of the PresentToo many teams are buried in busywork and tactical executionLeaders must rise above daily noise to see the long-term visionStrategy demands distance from the trenches, not deeper diggingFrom Sports Teams to Shareholders: What Real Leadership Looks LikeWhy the triangle of traditional hierarchy should be flippedGreat leaders leave a legacy by building coaching trees, not kingdomsLessons from John Wooden, Bill Walsh, and even controversial figures like Hitler and Trump, studied not for approval, but for insight into influenceKey Quotes:“Leadership is a verb, not a noun.” — Jack M.
