What could a Swiss Army officer possibly teach you about building and selling companies worth hundreds of millions? Turns out – everything. Today's guest, Sam Goodner, took the discipline and precision he learned in the Swiss Army and applied it to entrepreneurship. He founded Catapult Systems, scaled it through two major recessions, and eventually sold it after 20 years. Later, he helped take Flash Parking from a stuck $3M startup to $100M in revenue and a billion-dollar valuation. Now a mentor at Capital Factory and author of Like Clockwork: Run Your Business with Swiss Army Precision, Sam distills 30 years of lessons into practical principles that help entrepreneurs scale businesses that thrive without them. In this episode, Sam shares why scaling always begins with a sales playbook, how “cloud conversion therapy” won over 100% of skeptical customers, and why annual contingency planning can make your company recession-proof. He also breaks down what it really takes to prepare for a sale years in advance and how unforgettable first-day employee experiences can shape culture for decades. If you're ready to scale with Swiss Army precision and build a company that runs without you, tune in now. — This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark. — Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 00:02:03 Running a business like clockwork in practice 00:17:00 Curated client experiences turned skeptics into loyal customers 00:25:33 Starting Catapult Systems 00:28:54 Recession-proofing strategies 00:33:49 Separate teams allow multiple ventures under one umbrella 00:38:54 Selling businesses: Define your number and prepare years before exit 00:43:07 Strong EBITDA and audited records maximize company valuation 00:48:17 Choosing investment bankers 00:53:45 “Like Clockwork: Run Your Business With Swiss Army Precision” 00:59:54 First-day experiences build culture and long-term loyalty 01:01:35 Advice to young entrepreneurs 01:05:09 Wrapup — Additional Resources:
Is Product Management the most unrealistic job description ever created? Product Managers are supposed to be the "CEO of the product" - a one-person army who is CEO, therapist, engineer, and strategist (all without equity or authority). The only issue is that it sounds terrible and is a modern recipe for failure.Watch as Brian and Om dive deep into the impossible expectations placed on Product Managers. Listen as we talk through how the role expects you to work 60+ hours minimum, handle everything from technical architecture to customer support, and somehow maintain strategic vision while putting out daily fires. The reality? Most PMs have responsibility without authority and get paid for one job while doing five. We explore the industrial complex that perpetuates these unrealistic expectations and discuss what needs to change.

It's hard to sell 'architecture' consulting gigs since people frequently don't know what it means or what they're gonna get for their money. Check out this episode for 5 takeaways to help you get better at selling architecture... This is our first ever LIVE podcast recording at the BCS Enterprise Architecture Annual Conference in 2024. We Discuss: How do you build trust early in EA engagements when you don't have established relationships?What's the most important thing to leave behind when a consulting engagement ends - artifacts or wisdom? Should architecture be primarily an internal function or can it be effectively outsourced? How do you sell abstract EA work through procurement processes that expect concrete deliverables? What engagement models work best for EA consulting? 5 Takeaways: Enterprise architecture consulting faces unique sales challenges because it delivers intangible, strategic value rather than concrete deliverables, making it difficult to quantify benefits and navigate procurement processes that expect specific technical roles. Building trust is fundamental to EA consulting success since you're essentially "selling insurance" for long-term organizational health, requiring consultants to meet clients where they are rather than imposing predetermined frameworks. The most effective approach combines a strong internal architecture core team with external consultants who act as "adaptable architects" or "Swiss Army knives," supporting the organization's journey rather than replacing internal capability. Successful EA engagements should leave clients empowered with both tangible assets (playbooks, knowledge bases) and intangible wisdom, positioning consultants as trusted advisors who build client capability rather than creating dependency. The key to overcoming EA's abstract nature is connecting all work directly to business outcomes and strategy, using assessment and questioning to understand the real problems before proposing solutions.

In a world increasingly dominated by AI and computational thinking, we've been taught that logic is the ultimate form of intelligence. But what if an over-reliance on pure reason is making us more fragile and less equipped to navigate uncertainty? Angus Fletcher is a professor at Ohio State's Project Narrative and the author of the best-selling book, Primal Intelligence. Angus's has had an extraordinary career path to say the least, from building mutant neurons in neuroscience labs to studying Shakespeare at Yale, and being recruited by US Army Special Operations to train their elite operators. Angus argues that the human brain is less a computational machine, and more a dynamic, narrative-based engine built for action and foresight. This "biological intelligence," often overlooked and untrained, is what allows us to operate with limited information, adapt in volatile environments, and innovate in ways no machine can. For his groundbreaking work on this very topic, Angus was awarded the Commendation Medal by the US Army in 2023. Listen as we dive into the science of your innate intelligence and how narrative thinking works, and how understanding what feelings are telling you can transform how you deal with uncertainty. Some highlights from the episode: Angus's journey from neuroscience to Shakespeare to Army Special Operations Why hard skill, soft skill distinction misses the point entirely How biological intelligence differs from computational intelligence The Army's discovery about decision-making in volatile environments A novel take on the purpose of emotions What fear and anger signals (and what to do about it) Special operators' techniques for turning anger on and off Why gratitude works best when applied to specific negative experiences The brain as a Swiss Army knife rather than calculator How to use emotions like a dashboard for better decision-making How an integrated past and branching future creates anti-fragility If you're curious about the kinds of intelligence that AI can't replicate, and how to better utilize yours, this conversation provides the science and practical tools to get started.

In this Season Finale episode, Hilliard sits down with actor/writer/prod/director NOEL BRAHAM - co-founder of the hit MICHEAUX FILM FESTIVAL now in its 7th year and killing the game on the circuit!HIGHLIGHTS: The Power of “YET," lessons from his family growing up, becoming an actor, climbing many mountains, becoming a filmmaker and producing a Webseries and daytime Emmy-nominated short films, the power of community, co-founding and producing the Micheaux Film Festival and so much more!Noel is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, founder, and master of making gold on a budget tighter than his schedule. As the visionary behind the Micheaux Film Festival, he's built one of the fastest-growing multicultural film festivals in the country, while simultaneously directing, producing, writing, and probably acting out something in the back of an Uber. Born with a camera in one hand and an unshakable belief in multicultural stories in the other, Noel turned his journey from living in a hostel to helming red carpets into a movement. His work sits at the intersection of impact and innovation, combining soul-stirring narratives with social relevance...and maybe a sly wink to every industry gatekeeper who ever said "no."Noel's latest indie feature, Angel City, starring SNL star Chris Kattan, is a gritty, heartfelt love letter to Los Angeles that blends social commentary with cinematic ambition. Inspired by his own experience of living out of his car while chasing a dream, the film pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities of Hollywood and the homeless community.A true creative Swiss Army knife, Noel has collaborated with brands like Sony, Amazon, and Apple, while continuing to champion emerging talent who have more grit than followers. He's known for being equal parts strategist and storyteller and his superpower? Turning a three-person crew and a Craigslist location into something that looks like it came out of Warner Bros. When he's not running a festival, pitching a project, or jumping on a Zoom in a button-up and gym shorts, you can find him praying, hyping indie artists, or asking Chat GPT how to survive on three hours of sleep.

Matt Parker plays bass like a guy who read the manual and then set it on fire for warmth. We talk the strange magic of the Bass VI: why the new Squier Classic Vibe fixes the old headaches, and which mods turn wobble into weapon. Matt rolls through rigs like a responsible maniac: Ashdown heads into a 6x10 for moving air, the LB-30 with built-in load for civilised neighbors, and a Valeton GP-200 LT fly rig that costs less than a boutique patch cable yet somehow slaps. We rant about in-ears and keeping your hearing, praise vintage instruments for having the good kind of problems, reminisce about the Metal Zone, and argue whether the Hofner looks classy or like a violin cosplaying as a lunchbox. There is also pizza. Of course there is pizza. Bass VI as desert island instrument, studio Swiss Army knife, and riff enabler. Come for the bass. Stay for the sustain. You are gonna love this one!

Berry discusses his experience beginning the year as the starting nickel, navigating the collective highs and lows with the defense, and ultimately transitioning to a prominent role as cornerback on a highly regarded unit.

Welcome to the podcast that's not really about people, and definitely not about the countryside—unless you count emotional landscapes and the occasional sheep metaphor.Since the Great Plague of Zoom Calls (aka COVID), you lot have been flinging questions at us like confetti at a wedding we weren't invited to. We don't read them beforehand—because where's the fun in preparation? We hit record and hope for the best.We've got 18 more questions queued up, which means we're either wildly popular or someone's cat walked across a keyboard and hit “send” repeatedly. Either way, if you want your question featured, now's your moment.And yes, somewhere buried beneath our rambling, sarcasm, and occasional existential dread, there's probably a nugget of actionable wisdom. Like a motivational quote scribbled on a pub napkin.Jess, from Bishop's Tatchbrook, Warwickshire, England sets the first question - “How do different forms of love (platonic, romantic, familial) direct and orchestrate our lives individually and collectively?”Love: the emotional Swiss Army knife. Stuart says it grounds you, energizes you, distracts you, levels you out, and occasionally hijacks your to-do list. William's all in—love is life, especially if it involves hugging trees. Stuart's less sentimental: family is great unless you're stuck with them like mismatched socks, and friends might just be the upgrade. William assumes families love each other (adorable), but also warns that love can morph into grief-monsters and toxic clinginess. Sometimes, the most loving thing is to ghost your relatives. And finally, William wonders: do we love the planet, or are we just swiping right on nature for the aesthetic?Luna, from San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico sets the next question - “ What do you think of your critics?”Stuart's approach to criticism? Less “What did they say?” and more “How dare they make me feel things?” He's basically running a one-man emotional focus group. William, ever the sage, thinks critics can be useful—like unsolicited life coaches with better vocabulary. But he refuses to create with critics in mind, because nothing says artistic paralysis like trying to please everyone. Stuart suggests we interrogate our environmental beliefs (cue existential crisis), while William wraps it all up with a TED Talk to a bank: be authentic, not beige. Because nothing screams soul like ignoring your shareholders.What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?

Filing for a copyright application doesn't have to be an overly complex chore. You just need the right tools for the job. Hosts Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue welcome Jessica Chinnadurai, Attorney Advisor from the U.S. Copyright Office, to introduce the Copyright Office's Copyright Registration Toolkit. To set the table, Michael and Joseph discuss iconic tools and toolkits from pop culture, including the legendary Swiss Army knife, the versatile Leatherman multi-tool, famous fictional toolkits from MacGyver and Iron Man's suit, and Ron Swanson's woodworking expertise. This sets the stage for Jessica's breakdown of the Copyright Registration Toolkit, highlighting its practical value and ease of use. Copyright protection begins the moment you create an original and tangible work, whether it's a song, blog post, painting, or software. While registration isn't required for protection, Jessica clarifies how it significantly enhances your legal rights, for example, by providing the ability to enforce your copyrights effectively in court. The Copyright Registration Toolkit is designed into six detailed sections: Pre-Registration Considerations: Know your groundwork before diving in. Completing the Application: Step-by-step guidance to ensure accuracy. Deposit Copy Requirements: Clarifying what and how to submit for various work types. Special Handling: When and how to request expedited processing. Post-Registration Considerations: Keeping your registrations updated and managing ownership changes. Additional Resources: Where to find extra help and further support. Jessica breaks down each section and highlights the Copyright Registration Toolkit's practical value, user-friendly design, and unique features offered by the Copyright Office, such as personalized walkthrough services that help creators confidently navigate the registration process. Michael and Joseph underscore the importance of this Copyright Registration Toolkit by addressing common questions from creators, particularly around complex topics such as publication definitions, common pitfalls during the application process, and the significance of accurate documentation. The episode concludes with an overview of additional resources provided in the Copyright Registration Toolkit, including specialized webpages tailored to different types of creators, links to helpful circulars, and updated guidance on evolving topics such as artificial intelligence. Whether you're an experienced creative professional, an artist, an entrepreneur, or someone just beginning your creative journey, this episode equips you with an essential resource to help protect your creative works with confidence.

Episode 92: The Swiss Army Knife of Investment Accounts
In Episode 185 of The Citrix Session, Andy Whiteside, Bill Sutton, and Todd Smith explore how Citrix NetScaler is evolving into a true Swiss Army knife for security—delivering protection not just for Citrix workloads, but for all applications. The conversation dives into the looming challenge of quantum computing and the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat, where bad actors collect encrypted data today to exploit when quantum capabilities emerge.Todd and Bill unpack how NetScaler is leading the way with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness, new encryption standards aligned with NIST guidelines, and GA support for quantum-resistant algorithms. They also cover key advancements like HTTP/3 over QUIC, enhanced DNS security, reCAPTCHA v3 integration, and the Netscaler Console for fleet-wide visibility, compliance, and automation.Whether you're concerned about securing sensitive data, meeting future compliance requirements, or leveraging cutting-edge application firewall capabilities, this episode will help you understand why now—not later—is the time to prepare for the quantum era.
In this powerful solo episode, Allan Draper dives deep into one of the most important decisions a business owner will ever make, who to hire first when starting or scaling a pest control company.Allan breaks down the first five hires he recommends for building a company that doesn't just survive, but thrives without you. He starts with why your first technician should be someone you can see growing into a leadership role like branch manager. Then, he moves into the importance of hiring a versatile office admin, a true “Swiss Army knife” who can adapt with your company and eventually settle into a role that maximizes their natural talents.Next, Allan talks about bringing in a contracted accountant early, not a full-time hire, but a key part of the puzzle to keep your finances in order and protect your business long-term. Then comes your first experienced sales rep, someone who already knows how to close deals and possibly lead future reps. Finally, Allan shares why your fifth hire should be another technician to build your service capacity.But this episode isn't just about hiring. Allan shares critical advice about when to hire, how to pay, and how to make sure your team is set up for long-term success. He also unpacks a powerful mindset shift to help business owners avoid burnout and regain control of their time, offering a preview of his upcoming book and his three-stage framework for growing a business that operates without your constant involvement.Whether you're launching your pest control company or feeling overwhelmed by your current team, this episode is a must-listen. Allan's insights will help you grow with purpose, hire with clarity, and build a company that works for you, not the other way around.
Monica (36) and Michael (33) have been married just over a year and are navigating the pressures of new parenthood—but Monica feels like she's doing it alone.

This week, we weaponize hallucinations, traumatize NPCs, and gaslight a guard dog—with illusions! Sure! Here's a funny and detailed set of show notes and key takeaways for the RPGBOT.Podcast episode titled: Show Notes: In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the gang goes full David Copperfield on your tabletop—except instead of sawing a lady in half, we're casting Phantasmal Force to convince the BBEG his pants are full of bees. Join Tyler, Ash, and Randall as they pull back the illusory curtain on deception magic and reveal the crunchy mechanics, chaotic strategies, and absolute tomfoolery you can unleash with illusion spells. Ever wonder how to make your players paranoid, your monsters confused, or your DM cry? Illusions are the Swiss Army knife of arcane nonsense, and this episode dives deep into the art of trickery. From classic misdirection to full-on psychic warfare, they explore the delicious line between “that's clever” and “that's not how the spell works.” And yes, we finally solve the age-old question: how does a low-INT dog sniff out the fake chicken? Spoiler: it involves a lot of arguing about the Investigation check. Key Takeaways: Illusions Are a Vibe, Not a Science: If it makes the GM squint at the rules, you're doing it right. "The Mind Believes It, So the Body Reacts": Phantasmal Force can't do real damage, but the psychic trauma of imaginary bees is very real. Silent Image Is the MVP: It's like Photoshop, but for breaking dungeon puzzles. Major Image = Major Problems: When in doubt, summon a dragon and walk away like it was someone else's idea. Smarter Creatures Are More Likely to Disbelieve... Or Overthink: That wizard didn't fail his save, he just really wanted the dragon to be real. Your Dog Is Meta-Gaming: If Fido's making Investigation checks, it's time to ask who's really running the campaign. The Best Illusion is the One You Don't Have to Explain: If they never touch the wall, they'll never know it's fake. Don't Use Illusions to Solve Every Problem: Actually, never mind. Do exactly that.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the wonderfully random life of Adam Schorger—a man who's lived in Saudi Arabia, studied gunsmithing, wrestled with journalism, befriended GIS, and still manages to fit in gym time and screenless hobbies. Basically, he's a one-man Swiss Army knife of the geospatial world. The hosts, powered by caffeine and TopoDOT hype, guide us through tales of failing forward, mentoring like a boss, and building GIS empires from scratch at Orbital Engineering—because who doesn't want a side of cartography with their asset management? Adam also debunks the myth that GIS folks just “make maps” (spoiler alert: they're digital twin wizards now), and drops advice for newbies who might be torn between making maps or, say, making firearms. (Just another Tuesday in Adam's origin story.) Throw in some gnarly punk energy from H2O, the ever-epic Geodnet satellite miner tally, a questionable raster vs. vector pop quiz, and the usual host banter that walks the fine line between insightful and delightfully unhinged—and you've got another can't-miss episode. Fail forward, ride the wave, be disruptive—and if you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Also, don't forget to check if you can put a satellite miner on your house!!!

Buck Johnson is a seasoned singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose soulful ‘Cala-Bama' sound fuses his Alabama gospel roots with a West Coast rock edge. Best known as the keyboardist and backing vocalist for Aerosmith, Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band, The Hollywood Vampires, and The Joe Perry Project, which recently revamped and has an incredible lineup featuring Chris Robinson of The Black Crows, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz of Stone Temple Pilots, Brad Whitford, and Buck. “Aerosmith was already a fine tuned machine when Buck came into the fold but he made them better if that was possible. His vocals complements Steven's perfectly and Buck still being there is a true testament of what he brings to Aerosmith. I call him the “Swiss Army knife”! He plays keyboards and also guitar on some songs but his singing is his gift and it really shows on the Aerosmith, Vampires and Joe Perry live gigs. I think what puts him high above the rest as a well sought after musician is he is one of the finest humans you are going to meet”. -John Bionelli, AerosmithMusicThe Charms "So Pretty"The Dogmatics "I Love Rock N Roll"Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo
Can music replace drugs? Daniel J. Levitin shows how your favorite songs can release natural opioids, restore memory, and heal neural pathways!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1147What We Discuss with Daniel J. Levitin:Music functions like a Swiss Army knife in the brain, not just a hammer. Different music triggers different neurochemical systems — dopamine for motivation and pleasure, endogenous opioids for pain relief — explaining why personalized music choices are crucial for realizing therapeutic effects.The brain's default mode network can be activated by music, providing a restorative mental break that replenishes depleted glucose levels — like nature's reset button for our exhausted, decision-fatigued minds.Music therapy shows clinical evidence for treating Parkinson's (by synchronizing movements), memory disorders, and pain management — sometimes reducing or eliminating the need for pharmaceutical interventions through our body's natural neurochemical responses.Musical processing uses different neural pathways than speech, which is why people with speech disorders like stuttering or neurological damage from stroke can often still sing fluently — offering alternative communication channels when primary ones fail.You can start your own music medicine cabinet today by creating mood-specific playlists for different needs — and counterintuitively, when feeling depressed, choose songs that match rather than oppose your mood. This validates your emotions and creates a feeling of being understood.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

But as demand grew, they hit a critical bottleneck: cell shortages. Customers across multiple markets were already excited about the new product, but Drew's team struggled to keep up with demand. With Powerwall 2 already announced, pressure mounted while the supply chain faltered. And with Tesla prioritizing vehicles,, the energy team was left to "get the scraps and figure it out". In this episode, Lara Pierpoint talks with Drew Baglino, former senior vice president of powertrain and energy at Tesla, about building a new product category through bootstrapping and creative resource sharing. Drew shares how a couple dozen "Swiss Army knife" engineers created a residential battery system that would ultimately define the market. Credits: Hosted by Lara Pierpoint. Produced by Erin Hardick.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/Before 2007, mobile phones had tiny keyboards, crappy screens with internet so slow - you could finish a super burrito while waiting for your MySpace profile to load. Then Apple wowed the world with the iPhone: a digital Swiss Army knife that replaced cameras, maps, music players, AND created an entire new app economy. But the wildest part? Steve Jobs didn't even want to build it…at first. Once Steve finally said ""yes,"" the real work began: a top-secret team (codename: Project Purple), some engineering dead-ends (a click wheel), and a near-impossible engineering challenge. Even then, Apple barely pulled it off — the first iPhone prototype was so flakey, one wrong tap could have sunk Steve's big reveal. Find out the (many) ways the iPhone almost failed before it even launched, what drove Steve Jobs to order 4,000 lattes, how a single device reshaped society (and your screen time), and why the iPhone is the best idea yet.Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.Episodes drop every Tuesday, listen here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/—-----------------------------------------------------GET ON THE POD: Submit a shoutout or fact: https://tboypod.com/shoutouts FOR MORE NICK & JACK: Newsletter: https://tboypod.com/newsletter Connect with Nick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolas-martell/ Connect with Jack: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-crivici-kramer/ SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tboypod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tboypodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tboypod Anything else: https://tboypod.com/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Taysom Hill has been called a “Swiss Army knife” because of his ability to play many positions on the football field. And, while he has taken each of these positions seriously, when injuries have kept him from being able to suit up, Hill knows that his identity does not begin and end with playing football. On this week's episode, Hill shares with us insight into his life as a football player but also as a son, a husband, a father, a brother, and a disciple of Jesus Christ. 2:27- Nature Vs.
