This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to help Enterprise B2B SaaS vendors shorten their sales cycles by 50-75%. My guest is Justin Beals, Co-founder and CEO of Strike Graph.  Justin Beals is a serial entrepreneur with expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and governance. He organizes strategic innovations at the crossroads of cybersecurity and compliance and focuses on helping customers get outsized value. In every startup he started, he focused on setting a foundational culture of employee growth. Based in Seattle, he previously served as the CTO of NextStep and Koru, which won the 2018 Most Impactful Startup award from Wharton People Analytics. Justin is a board member for the Ada Developers Academy, VALID8 Financial, and Edify Software Consulting. He's also an author and the creator of the Training, Tracking & Placement System US Patent. He's passionate about making arcane cyber security standards plain and simple to achieve. That drove him to co-found Strike Graph in February 2020 - which he leads as their CEO.  Strike Graph is on a mission to enable its customers to earn revenue faster by completing security audits successfully and quickly. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Justin to my podcast. We explore what's broken in the security audit services market. Justin shares his lessons learned how he found a sizeable market that Strike Graph can dominate by developing a product that creates a shift in value by aiming to be different, not just better.  His story about articulating what business he's really in and how he measures progress is a textbook example of how to create a company that's resilient no matter what crisis it'll find on its path.  Here's one of his quotes "Every company is concerned with their revenue. We didn't want to be a security company. We wanted to be a revenue company. Our goal was to say close deals faster, with more confidence. And if we can shorten your time to close by 50 to 75%, you can imagine the amount of efficiency that an organization gets, you know, in revenue acquisition quarter over quarter, there are startups that I've worked at that that simple change would have saved us, we would have been a market leader." During this interview, you will learn four things: That you create instant differentiation is you ensure the design of your solution amplifies the uniqueness of your ideal customer Why your mission should be about 2 things: Immediate and apparent value for your customers That a good exercise to repeat regularly is to start to look at what scales exponentially and what scales linearly Why crystalizing what business you are really in can mean the difference between failing and becoming the market leader For more information about the guest from this week: Justin Beals Website Strike Graph Subscribe to the Daily Value Inspiration Stressed by the thought of 'not enough' traction?

The numbers are jarring. Since March 2020, nearly 2.5 million women have left the U.S. workforce, compared with 1.8 million men. One of the women who left was Farida Mercedes. Before the pandemic, Farida was on a fast-track in a corporate job she loved. But then she made the tough decision to leave. We'll hear Farida's story. We'll also hear from Laura Zarrow, Executive Director of People Analytics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, about some of the reasons women have been dropping out of the workforce, and how data and flexible work could bring them back.For extra reading, see this recent article from Citrix about the importance of bringing women back into the workforce, particularly into leadership roles: Female leadership and diversity fuel tomorrow's innovations.

One of the great myths in business and work is that to succeed you must climb your way to the top ... on the backs of others. My next guest tells us that this is simply not true and that often times, those that are most successful "give" just as much as they "take." This prosocial behavior is the key to success for individuals and organizations everywhere. If you're looking to find a new way to thrive within in your career and at your work, then you're in for a real treat listening to my conversation with Reb Rebele. He talks about his work as a researcher in UPenn's Wharton People Analytics department, shares his insights from his writing in Harvard Business Review and Huffington Post and most importantly gives us some really effective habits and practices we can use everyday.

In Episode 012 of A Medicinal Mind: Wisdom and Wellbeing, we enter into the world of Positive Psychology with my new friend and visionary researcher Grace Cormier. While Grace's bio may appear linear, straightforward, and precisely planned, the actual story, as you will hear in the podcast, is much more circuitous, yet blessed by courageous leaps of faith. Grace graduated from Carleton College with a B.A. in Psychology and from the University of Pennsylvania with a Master of Applied Positive Psychology. She has extensive experience implementing positive psychology and resilience programs in a wide variety of organizations including the military, public safety, universities, and a professional basketball team. Her academic work focuses on how to foster affective commitment through building cultures that support autonomy, competence, and relatedness. She has a passion for applying positive psychology in organizations to transform cultures, build effective teams, and encourage prosocial behavior. She currently does research with Wharton People Analytics at the University of Pennsylvania.  In the episode, Grace and I hold a joyful conversation, sharing aspects of our life stories and how we both came to study and practice in the field of Positive Psychology in the first place. To get things started, Grace shares with us: A Short History of Positive Psychology What is it exactly? What are the main principles of Positive Psychology, how about practices? And why are we even calling it “Positive” Psychology in the first place? Digging back into the personal we explore: The Many Ways in which Grace has incorporated positive practices into her daily life What are some of the most practical skills and applications? How can I start today with cultivating gratitude? Building from these practices Graces shares some amazing insights on" The Power of Self Talk How we can view setbacks or roadblocks as areas and opportunities of growth How we can reframe our perspective in any situation and become “learned optimists” Following our journey into the practices of Positive Psychology we then transition to a fascinating discussion about:  The Importance of Gratitude and The Concept of Resilience ​ What do we mean exactly when we say Resilience? How can one cultivate resilience and what specific practices from Positive Psychology seem to be most helpful in making one more resilient in the face of stress ​And lastly we close with some final insights and a beautiful piece of wisdom from Grace as she faithfully lives out the practices she most rigorously studies.      I was so grateful to have shared this conversation with Grace and so thankful for the nourishing friendship that emerged from our synchronous connection. I am already looking forward to bringing Grace back on the show to share more of her insights, wisdom and passion for connecting communities by holding a space for happiness to flourish.
