Podcasts about unwritten rules

The Unwritten Rules of CRO Survival | Rick Smolen, CRO @ ShipHero Rick Smolen, CRO of ShipHero and sales advisor to Riverwood Capital's portfolio of more than 2 dozen enterprise software companies, joins Sam Jacobs, AJ Bruno, and Asad Zaman to argue that AI is leverage rather than a shortcut. Topics include why AI note-takers quietly degrade seller performance, why ShipHero has not raised a single quota despite real AI investment, and why the leading AI companies keep hiring classic enterprise CROs. Plus Rick's scorecard for judging revenue leadership beyond the number, an honest conversation about getting fired, and a bull case for HubSpot. In short... big episode! Key Takeaways: - AI widens the gap between the best and worst sellers instead of lifting everyone, and Rick Smolen, CRO at ShipHero, frames it in financial terms: "It's like debt... debt is leverage. It can make performance exceptionally good, or it can bankrupt you." His prediction is that the strongest performers get 10x better while the weakest become "unmistakable and hard to hide." - Outsourcing note-taking to an AI tool costs sellers the exact signal that closes enterprise deals. As Rick put it: "the computer can't capture the tone, can't capture the nuance, can't capture the content." His warning to any rep who treats it as time saved: "when a seller is going to say, oh cool, I don't have to do note-taking anymore, like their performance is going to go backwards." - The 3-to-5x rep productivity story does not survive contact with an enterprise sales cycle. Despite meaningful AI investment and measurable conversion-rate gains, Rick reports that at ShipHero "we have not raised quotas on anybody on the team," adding that "I don't believe that if I was to double somebody's quota that I give them any chance to be successful." - The AI-native companies scaling fastest are staffing go-to-market with the most traditional enterprise leaders available. Asad Zaman, CEO at STA, walks through the CRO hires at OpenAI, Cursor, Factory, and Anthropic and lands on the pattern: "we're back to like, let's just hire John McMahon's disciples and let them run at the market."

Golf has plenty of official rules, but somehow, golfers have invented an entirely separate rulebook of things you're just supposed to know. In Episode 08 of Splitting Fairways, Hawk and Tox take on Golf's Dumbest Unwritten Rules and try to figure out where legitimate etiquette ends and pointless golf judgment begins. Hats indoors. Untucked shirts. Denim. Changing your shoes in the parking lot. Too many headcovers. 14-way bags. And, of course, the undisputed heavyweight champion of unnecessary golf arguments: iron covers. If none of these things affect another golfer's round, why does anyone care? Ryan (Hawk) and Jeremy (Lord Tox) debate which traditions still have a place in the game, and which ones golfers need to stop taking so seriously. Then they head to the course to tackle the unwritten rules that might actually matter. Should honors on the tee give way to ready golf? Is talking to someone else's ball harmless encouragement or an unforgivable offense? Can you call a putt before it drops? And do you really need to gently place the flagstick on the green? Not every unwritten rule deserves to disappear. Repairing pitch marks, raking bunkers, keeping pace, respecting another player's concentration, and taking care of the course all make golf better for everyone. Maybe that's the real test, the best etiquette usually makes golf better for somebody other than you. If you could erase one unwritten rule from golf tomorrow, which one goes? Go to discussion... document.write("Loading Custom Ratings..."); The post Splitting Fairways Episode 8: Golf’s Unwritten Rules appeared first on The Hackers Paradise.

Doug and Justin open with a question that immediately goes somewhere real: what is an unwritten rule of modern etiquette that you actively choose to ignore because it makes zero logical sense? Doug's answer is immediate and unapologetic. Three months salary for an engagement ring is a number a diamond company invented and everyone just accepted it. From there the conversation spirals into a full-scale examination of wedding culture that is equal parts frustrated and fair. From there the guys shift into movie talk. Doug gives his take on Spider-Man Brand New Day, then goes deep on Curry Barker's horror hit Obsession, currently streaming on Peacock, and the WWII weathermen drama Pressure starring Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott. That leads into a comparison with other WWII films including Hacksaw Ridge and Fury. Then: the Urban Dictionary game returns for another round. This episode's terms include Chud Run, Industrial Strip, Lincoln Memorial, Big Jebediah Doink, and Birdbath. Justin's definitions are wrong in the most creative ways possible. Doug censors himself for the first time in 548 episodes while trying to string them all into a sentence. History is made. A tribute to Glenn Hansard, Irish musician and busker who passed away at 56 in a motorcycle accident. Justin shares what his music meant to him personally and why the world lost something genuinely good. This week's recommendations: Justin: Glenn Hansard. Go listen to his catalog. Any of it. As a thank you for the music and as an introduction if you have never heard him before. Doug: No Pressure. Pop punk band recommended by Austin Reno. Their LP NP Style is 10 songs and 21 minutes of exactly what you need. Reminds Doug of early Blink-182. Check it out wherever you stream music.

Known widely as the "Elite Recruiter," Deepali has spent 25 years advising Fortune 500 companies, hedge funds, and high-growth AI organizations on executive hiring and leadership strategy.  Deepali pulls back the curtain on the "unwritten rules" of hierarchical organizations and explains why the traditional chronological resume is completely dead in today's attention-deficit economy. She introduces a modern framework for career positioning, detailing how professionals can build "The Signal"—a powerful one-page personal narrative—and why tying your outcomes directly to the dollar is essential for survival.  We also dive deep into the rising era of the "Company of One," the crucial differences between mentorship and true sponsorship, and how human skills like storytelling and judgment become your ultimate agency in the age of Agentic AI.  Deepali shares insights on:• The Death of the Traditional Resume: Why a chronological autobiography fails to get noticed, and how to capture an employer's attention in six seconds using "The Signal".  • The "So What" Filter: A simple, high-impact framework to flip your resume bullet points from passive tasks into quantifiable business value.  • Advisor vs. Mentor vs. Sponsor: Delineating these three fluid yet distinct roles, and why assuming your manager is your mentor by default is a common career trap.  • The "Company of One" Era: How new graduates and professionals can use portfolio careers and skill-stacking to build independent influence and security.  • Overcoming the Intelligence Paradox: Why highly accomplished individuals frequently fall into analysis paralysis, and how executive judgment thrives under ambiguity.  Whether you're a recent graduate navigating an unstable market, an executive looking to pivot, or someone trying to protect your human agency in an automated world, Deepali's masterclass in career literacy provides an invaluable blueprint.  If you enjoyed this deep dive, please hit that subscribe button, leave a comment, and share this video with someone looking to scale their own vision!   --------------------------Chapters-00:00 Introduction01:32 Deciphering Success in a Disrupted World04:05 The Unwritten Rules of Corporate Culture07:35 Post-Pandemic Workforce and Changing Rules09:23 Why the Traditional Resume Is Dead12:11 Tying Your Value to the Dollar: Modern Resume Metrics14:14 Falling into Recruiting: Cowardly Resignations & Indian Parents15:49 Navigating Wall Street & Standing Out at Goldman Sachs17:30 Sponsor Break: Travelopod19:18 Advisor vs. Mentor vs. Sponsor: Delineating the Roles23:47 Learning from Mentorship Mistakes and taking action28:49 Sponsor Break: Timberdog29:19 Overcoming the "Intelligence Paradox" & The "So What" Filter32:53 Identity, Seasons of Career, and Merit36:55 Portfolio Careers & The Era of the "Company of One"40:50 Cultivating Trust & Why AI Will Never Replace Human Connection42:44 Wrap-up & Shoutouts

Angel "Julito" Diaz grew up on Creston Avenue in the North Bronx — the youngest of six kids, watching his mother run the block before he ever touched a drug. By the time he was 12 he was selling crack after school. By the time he was a young man he was running his own operation — hundreds of pounds of their signature Mango Piña weed a week — eventually becoming the shot caller of the infamous Creston Avenue Crew whose takedown became one of the most notorious drug cases in Bronx history. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Julito tells the complete story — the story that Reggaeton star De La Ghetto portrayed on Netflix's El Ganador. Nicky Jam and Daddy Yankee were part of his Bronx operation before they were famous. He opens up about the betrayal from his own childhood friend who put out a murder contract on his life, the robbery case that sent him to state prison, and the federal case that gave him 17 years total. When 22 people around him cooperated with the government — Angel kept his mouth shut. He served 11 years and never snitched on anyone. _____________________________________________ #prisonlife #BronxStory #TrueCrime _____________________________________________ Thank You To CASH APP & RAYCON For Sponsoring This Episode: Cash App: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Susie describes why the man who popularized climbing Everest claims he never meant to do that, why he thinks people should climb in a different way, and why it's much easier to scale the highest mountain now than a few years ago. We find out what Sarah thinks is the number one horror film ever made. We discuss twins who don't share a father, and why it raises questions about identity and personhood. We learn the difference between Western runners and the Kenyan and Ethiopian runners who dominate the sport, and the reasons they are defying the "science" of running and still winning marathons and setting world records. We debate the ethics of "unwritten rules" in sports, how these codes are set and enforced, and the ways they're good and bad.00:00 - Personal Reflections on Mother's Day and Sandy Hook's Impact12:40 - How Commercialization Changed Everest Climbing and Its Meaning24:22 - Exploring Addictive Personalities and Toxic Masculinity in Extreme Sports38:11 - The Rare Case of Twins with Different Fathers and Identity's Layers44:27 - African Runners' Communal Approach Defies Western Training Science50:58 - Debating the Ethics and Impact of Unwritten Rules in SportsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 40% off your first order PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandyVisit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off using code BRAINCANDYPOD on your next purchase.Head to https://cozyearth.com and use our code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off.

What is business casual anymore? What about wearing pajamas on the airplane? And is it true that the more things change the more they stay the same?

Want to Get Promoted? You Probably Don’t Know What You Don’t Know… We just wrapped up an incredible episode of A New Direction with Craig A. Fleming, author of The Unwritten Rules of Leadership, and the insights were a major wake-up call for anyone looking to get promoted. If you missed the live conversation, we dived deep into the “hidden curriculum” of the corporate world—those unspoken do's and don'ts that determine who stays in middle management and who gets promoted to the C-suite. The consensus was clear: hitting your KPIs is just the entry fee; understanding the social and political mechanics of your organization is what actually gets you promoted. A standout moment in the interview was Craig's breakdown of why high-performers often fail to get promoted because they fall into the “Technical Trap.” Many high-achievers believe that becoming the ultimate expert in their current role is the fastest way to move up, but the opposite is often true. Craig explained that if you make yourself too indispensable as a “doer,” you become “un-promotable” because leadership can’t afford to lose your technical output. To be promoted, you have to transition your identity from a specialist to a strategist, demonstrating that you have the Executive Presence to lead others rather than just doing the work yourself. We also discussed why Political Savvy is a non-negotiable skill if you want to get promoted. It isn't about “playing games”; it's about building relational equity and finding a sponsor. While a mentor talks to you, a sponsor is someone who talks about you in rooms you haven't entered yet. Craig shared that many talented individuals fail to get promoted simply because they lack an advocate at the decision-making table. By mapping out the power dynamics of your company and building a network of supporters, you ensure that your name is at the top of the list when it is time for someone to be promoted. If you are tired of watching others move up while you feel stuck, this recap is your roadmap to finally being promoted. We covered 7 specific shifts, from mastering “The Brief” to managing your “Leadership Shadow.” Don’t let another year go by wondering why you haven’t been promoted to the level your hard work deserves. Watch the full replay of A New Direction with Coach Jay and Craig A. Fleming to master these unwritten rules and take the final step to get promoted into the leadership role you've been aiming for. Craig Flemings book, “Unwritten Rules Of Leadership: How Executives Decide Who To Trust, Mentor, Promote, and Remember” is a no nonsense, gets right to the point book.  There is no fluff.  No stories.  Just a practical guide to, “if you want to get promoted here is what to do, and here is what not to do.”   Quite honestly I found it refreshing.  No wading through some here is the principle of the story.  Not some fairy tale that is suppose to make me feel better about my life, just the direct approach of, “if you want this, here is what you must do.” There are 25 chapters, each chapter has the same outline.  Here is the title, here is why it is important.  What are the costs and benefits to you on the topic.  Here is what you need to do.  Here are the distortions that will stall your career.  Here is the Application that you need to do on a daily basis in your personal life, your execution, communication etc. I found this book to be so appealing.  Find the area.  Why is it important.  Have the discipline to do what it says…and execute it daily.  Simple. Straight forward. Practical.  We need more books like this with less stories and more application. Get you copy of Unwritten Rules of Leadership by clicking here.

Linda Craft  Team, REALTORS®, for more than 40 years they have been helping people all over the world protect their dreams and make new ones. Let's be honest, most of us soon forget how much we paid for our home, or how much we sold our home for…but we all hold on to the memories that were made in that home. The powerful emotions that were in that home.  The gatherings, the people, the joys and even some sorrows, because at the end of the day all our memories are what makes the home…a home. The memories and the emotions of those memories.  The Linda Craft Team continue the tradition of being the “memory makers” by giving the home you are ready to sell the marketing and attention it deserves, and the start to the new memories you will create when you purchase your next home. When you are ready for your memory head on over to www.LindaCraft.com Stop Performing. Start Dominating You weren't built to play it safe. You already know what average looks like. You've watched it sit in meetings, nod along, and clock out at five. You've seen it settle for “good enough” and call it a career. And something inside you — maybe it's quiet, maybe it's screaming — refuses to accept that as your ceiling. That's not ambition. That's your signal. The distance between where you are and where you know you're capable of being isn't talent. It isn't luck. It's the space between knowing what to do and actually executing at the level your potential demands. And that gap? It doesn't close on its own. The Truth Nobody Tells High Performers Here's what the leadership books leave out: the strategies that got you here won't get you there. The habits, the mindset, the way you manage your energy and your influence — all of it needs to evolve. Not because you're broken. Because you're ready for more. Every elite athlete has a coach. Every world-class CEO has an advisor in their corner. Not because they're weak — because they understand that the highest performers on the planet don't go it alone. What Changes When You Stop Going It Alone Working with an executive performance coach isn't about fixing problems. It's about unlocking the version of you that operates with total clarity, relentless focus, and the kind of presence that shifts the energy in every room you walk into. Imagine making decisions faster — and with more confidence. Leading teams that don't just follow you, but run through walls for you. Waking up on Monday with the same fire you feel on Friday night when you're planning your next move. That's not fantasy. That's what happens when you get serious about your performance. Your Move You've read this far for a reason. That reason matters. Don't let this be another article you agree with and forget by tomorrow.

Jacob Bittner was a teenager from a good home when a series of bad decisions led to 12 years in the Arkansas prison system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jacob breaks down how it all unraveled — from his first robbery, to going on the run, to pulling off another one and paying for it with over a decade of his life. He opens up about surviving the violence and harsh realities of Arkansas prisons, the lessons he learned the hard way, and the twist nobody saw coming — after his release, he fell in love with and married a prison guard. _____________________________________________ #Prison #TrueCrime #LockedIn _____________________________________________ Thank you to RAYCON & INCOGNI for sponsoring this episode: Raycon: The Everyday Earbuds Classic are the perfect addition to your everyday routine.

Baltimore graffiti legends DLordInk and Meca came through If This Doesn't Work to talk about the real culture behind graffiti; the rules, the respect, the beef, the crews, the toys, the side-busting, and how street art turns into paid murals across the country.In this episode, Danny Lorden aka DLordInk and Meca break down what most people don't understand about graffiti: how writers earn respect, what makes someone a “toy,” why side-busting matters, how Baltimore's graffiti scene has changed, and how social media made the culture bigger, easier to copy, and harder to control.They also talk about KSW, Baltimore graffiti history, painting trains, the difference between street bombing and mural work, Banksy, Jake Paul, MGK's DC Warped Tour stage, road life, painting across America, and what it means to turn something illegal, dangerous, and underground into a real career.Next time you watch an episode, the set behind us will be painted by these two.You can find and commission art from these guys here:DLordInk: Insta: https://www.instagram.com/dlordink/Instagram Art & Merch: https://www.instagram.com/dlordink_art/Merch: https://dlordink.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dlordinkMeca: Insta: https://www.instagram.com/jaemeca/Follow the Podcast:

From the "laundry room dilemma" to handling the dreaded call to the Captain's office, we explore how small actions build, or break, your reputation.In this episode, we cover:Ownership over BS: Why "I don't know, sir, but I'll find out" is the most important sentence in a new firefighter's vocabulary.The "Peanut Butter Spoon" Test: How menial station tasks are actually indicators of your reliability on a fire scene.Social Intelligence: The dangers of oversharing and why your actions should always speak louder than your resume.The "7-Foot Captain" Story: A lesson in why you should always have a tool in your hand (and which ones you shouldn't try to borrow).Mentorship & The Fire Up Program: How Taylor uses the fire service model to help men grow in leadership and character.Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2RZThURTU&ab_channel=FacedownRecordsGet signed up for the next trip with Hold the Line!https://www.fireupprogram.org/hold-the-lineThe Fire You Carry on YouTube.Sign up for a class at The Fire Up Program!https://www.fireupprogram.com/programsThe Fire Up Progam video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__ErPW46Ec&t=12s&ab_channel=FireUpProgramThe Fire You Carry Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/thefireyoucarry/Donate to The Fire Up Program.https://www.fireupprogram.com/donateThe Fire Up Program Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/fireup_program/Kevin's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/kevinpwelsh/?hl=en

Hey Team! We've all had those moments where we walk away from a conversation and immediately spiral into a "self-regulation hangover," wondering if we said too much or if we were just being "tolerated" rather than included. Feeling like maybe this whole friendship thing maybe just isn't for us. This week, I'm talking with Caroline Maguire, a veteran social skills coach and the founder of the Social Excellence training program. She holds a Master's in Social Emotional Learning and is one of the few experts who approaches social skills as a "muscle" that can be built, rather than an innate talent you either have or you don't. Her first book, Why Will No One Play with Me?, became an instant staple for neurodivergent families helping children struggling with social skills to make friends. And with what she learned from that book she is now bringing to her upcoming book, Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults: A Guide for the Anxious, Uniquely Wired, and Easily Distracted. In this episode, we're looking at the mechanics of friendship through a neurodivergent lens. We talk about the importance of proximity and "shared interest fuel" in bypassing the awkwardness of small talk. We also touch on the "rejection lens" and how our history of being bullied or marginalized can often color our current adult relationships. Caroline also walks me through some of her most practical frameworks, including the "Ice Cream Scoop" method for building trust and why having a "third place" is essential for creating low-pressure social friction. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/285 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips ADHD impulsivity often leads to "oversharing," which creates a "self-regulation hangover" of shame. The shift here is to view sharing as taking one "scoop" at a time, waiting for the other person to match your level of intimacy before offering more, which protects your trust and your energy. Our brains naturally hang on to negative social stories like Velcro while letting positive ones slide off like Teflon. Recognizing this biological bias allows you to challenge the "rejection lens" and realize that a friend's lack of a text might be about their own hard time rather than a reflection of your worth. Making friends isn't a 1-2-3 prescriptive step; it's about "social friction" and proximity. By prioritizing showing up at the same place consistently, you allow people to get used to you, which lowers the barrier for entry into community and future friendships. Remember, deep friendship doesn't happen instantly and takes work. Don't be discouraged if you're first attempts don't work out, keep at it and build up those friendships over time.
