Life is too short to keep working with clients, colleagues, or collaborators who continually frustrate you.  In episode 249 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership, Darren Krakowiak explains why pejorative labels in your internal dialogue are important signals.

We explore the real cost of keeping the wrong people around; it is not just emotional, it affects productivity, culture, reputation, and long-term performance.  When you learn to filter for five-star clients and partners, you create an environment that energizes you and accelerates the growth of your business.

Is modern marketing broken, and are you missing the fundamental frameworks that are relevant today? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague welcomes back Mark Ritson, founder of the Mini MBA, to unpack why marketing has regressed despite unprecedented access to data, tools, and talent. Mark breaks down the misconceptions and differences behind "strategies with long and short impact," why the 95/5 rule should guide budget allocation, and how most CMOs are dangerously undertrained. He exposes the pitfalls of discounting, the power of friction in brand positioning, and the realities of growth that many leaders overlook. Packed with frameworks, brutal truths, and practical direction, this conversation equips marketers to build sustainable, profitable brands in a noisy landscape. What You Will Learn: Why advertising effectiveness has declined 10% over three decades despite AI and data abundance The critical difference between "Long and Short impact" and what brands actually need  How the 95/5 Rule reshapes budget allocation The profitability vs. revenue trap that derails most businesses Why price discounting is almost always a losing move, and how to reframe pricing  How to build distinctiveness into brand positioning through productive friction  If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts.

Over 25 years he taught at London Business School, MIT, Melbourne Business School, and Minnesota, earning multiple top-teaching awards. A former in-house consultant to LVMH, he has advised brands from Subaru to Sephora. His pricing research was cited during a Nobel Prize speech, and his prolific journalism has earned seven PPA Columnist of the Year awards. Now based in Tasmania, he focuses on the Mini MBA, writes for major publications, and continues skewering marketing nonsense with trademark wit. Quotes: "I think it's slightly worse than it was thirty years ago; we're certainly not improving. For all the talk of data and AI and everything else, when you see the occasional longitudinal data point, advertising is less effective than it used to be. We've slipped a little, not too much, but we certainly haven't made a lot of progress." "Retailers are selling the same stuff to the same people at the same time in the same place. Their obsession with price is because over the road, there's a competitor with 80% the same stock in the same places, going after the same customers. Price becomes this golden lever, and it's just something I never thought of before until I actually went in and started seeing it from the retail point of view." "All of the campaigns which are extraordinarily good at long-term brand building are also, with almost without exception, really good at immediately selling product. Long delivers short. You run a great TV campaign, it's gonna instantly start shifting product the next day as well as creating long-term changes in memory structures that might last for years." "There are 19 times more consumers outside the market than inside it. You want to spend 60-70% of your budget on the 95% so you're ready for when they come in later. The key lesson is it's usually too late to go after the 5% when they come into market, you need salience established beforehand."

In this episode, Joe revisits an old article he wrote six years ago about Apple's Think Different campaign and discovers a deeper lesson hidden inside it. This is not a story about marketing, or even about Apple. It is a story about belief, service, and the system every creator needs to survive long enough to succeed. Joe shares how belief powered Apple's turnaround in 1997 and how the same kind of belief shows up in the creators and entrepreneurs who persist through uncertainty. But he also explains why belief, on its own, can drift into ego and self-focus if it is not directed toward helping someone else. Through personal stories from Junta42, Content Marketing Institute, the Tilt, and the early launch of Content Entrepreneur Expo, Joe walks through the moments when his belief wavered and the exact thing that brought it back: returning his attention to the people he was trying to help. This episode introduces a simple but powerful system. Belief is the engine. Service is the direction. Creators who believe they can help someone else always find their footing again. They always know what to do next. And in an age when AI can manufacture almost anything, this combination of belief and service becomes the one advantage that cannot be automated. What You Will Learn: Why belief matters more than talent Why belief alone is not enough How Apple changed direction through purpose and conviction How Joe rebuilt belief during difficult seasons The simple system that can guide creators through any uncertainty Why focusing on the person you serve is the ultimate reset Mentioned in This Episode: Apple's Think Different campaign Eddie Murphy documentary Junta42 Content Marketing Institute The Tilt newsletter Content Entrepreneur Expo If you want more insights every Friday morning, subscribe to Joe Pulizzi's Tilt newsletter at https://www.thetilt.com/.

At 50, I thought my body was broken. I knew everything about nutrition, but nothing was working anymore. In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Heather Awad, MD, a family doctor and certified coach, helps professional women in perimenopause and menopause lose weight without counting or deprivation. Learn why kindness precedes confidence, how insulin resistance shifts at midlife, and why moving from grazing to real meals restores energy, focus, and leadership clarity.  Professional photos can be retaken. But kindness and confidence can start today.   What You Will Learn: Why eating less and moving more, does absolutely nothing during perimenopause, revealing that something fundamentally different is happening in the body. The moment at age 50 of wondering if the body was broken and questioning how someone with extensive nutrition knowledge could be failing at weight management. How combining an understanding of the biology and nutrition of menopause with coaching to address emotional eating made weight loss simple and sustainable. Why many professional women including those in corporate leadership hold themselves back from seeking promotions or starting businesses because they feel their body isn't under control. The critical distinction that mindset work and being kind to yourself is a completely separate track from getting your body under control or losing weight. How kindness to yourself is the precursor to confidence, and that being kind doesn't cost anything except intention and time unpacking the parts of yourself that don't want to be kind. The fundamental difference between the weight loss world that asks us to work hard, measure, and count calories, versus nutrition that can be simple and nourishing without ever going hungry or counting anything. How our culture has normalized overeating to the point where having a stomach ache after meals seems normal. Why this meal-based eating pattern helps with the natural bump in insulin resistance that comes at menopause. The biological reality that when estrogen drops during menopause, it affects the entire body including digestive hormones. Why insulin resistance means the body suddenly needs much more insulin just to process the same food. Why grazing becomes the default feeding pattern during intense parenting years. Why nourishing your body becomes increasingly important at midlife.   Connect with Heather Awad, MD Website   Connect with Anjel B.

Quotes: "I really value the evidence and the research that shows what works and what doesn't. I also acknowledge that sometimes what works in research does not work in practice, in real life. But making that bridge is really what's important to me in everything I do." "Do I feel like I can speak up here? Do I feel like I can give feedback? For the most part, do you feel like you can speak up and say what's on your mind and offer new ideas and push back? To me, that's the most important thing when you're trying to determine the difference between a toxic culture and a healthy one." "I used to think the most important thing in dealing with conflict was empathy, but I've actually really come to believe it's emotional regulation. The more we can handle our own negative emotions and make good choices despite them, the more these conversations and relationships will grow stronger and the more resilient we will feel." "Promoting someone who doesn't have the skills to do the job and you're not gonna give them those skills creates a good amount of insecurity on their part. The research shows the exact opposite of what we assume—the more senior they get, the more insecure people feel. We are creating this gap, not just in skill, but also in confidence."   Episode Resources: Amy Gallo on LinkedIn Amy Gallo Website  Nick Hague on LinkedIn World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

In this podcast episode, I'm continuing my special mini-series in the lead-up to the launch of my book, Become a Global Leader. With only one week to go until release day on 17th November, I'm diving into the 2nd of the 4 key pillars from my book: Mastering Your Clarity to Elevate Your Influence. Clarity is one of the most powerful and often underestimated skills for aspiring global leaders. In my work, I've seen that it's not only your specialist knowledge or expertise that drives your career growth and leadership impact, but how clearly and confidently you can communicate your ideas. Whether you're presenting to senior stakeholders, leading global teams, or managing complex cultural dynamics, your ability to communicate with clarity defines how others perceive your leadership. In this episode, I share insights into why clear communication can feel so challenging, to the power of structuring your thoughts under pressure, so you can elevate your influence, manage those mental blocks and communicate like a leader. What You Will Learn: Why mastering clarity is fundamental to your leadership development and global career success. The common reasons clarity feels challenging, particularly when working across cultures. Structure your thoughts to sound more articulate, concise and confident. My key principle: slow down your communication to help speed up the action. Influence with confidence by creating ideas that inspire action and alignment. When your mind goes blank and you need to quickly regain your clarity. Reflection Questions How could sharpening your communication clarity help you achieve your leadership goals? How are you positioning your ideas and recommendations in a way that lands with your key stakeholders? I'd really love to hear your thoughts. Connect with me on LinkedIn and tell me what resonated most from this episode and how you're applying it in your own leadership communication. We're only a week away from the global launch of my book, Become a Global Leader on Monday 17th November 2025 at 6pm GMT (London time), and I'd love for you to join me to celebrate. This online launch event is completely free and open to everyone around the world.

Whether you're stepping into new leadership spaces, aiming for your next promotion, or navigating a global career move, confidence isn't a "nice-to-have", it's essential. But let's be honest, it's not always easy. In fact, confidence is one of the most misunderstood elements of leadership development. In this episode, I break down the steps to sustainable confidence, and how to build it in a way that aligns with who you truly are. What You Will Learn: Why confidence is not constant, and how to work with its natural fluctuations Identifying your unique leadership value and communicating it with impact The key mindset habit to move from self-doubt to self-belief What could be holding you back and keeping you stuck Why visibility is critical to building your personal brand Practical ways to signal leadership with your presence and energy Reflection Questions: Take a few minutes after listening to reflect on these questions: On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you rate your confidence today? What strengths have you possibly overlooked that you should be doubling down on right now? What does your leadership identity say about you today, and is it aligned with where you're heading?

When was the last time you asked clearly for what you are worth. In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Amy Cosper, storyteller and brand builder to talk about risk, money, and the power women unlock when they find their voice.

How to use emotional honesty without oversharing and without losing authority. Why asking is non negotiable for funding and fees and how to state your value without apology. What shifted in recent decades for women and business credit and why that context matters for courage now. How to stop giving away ideas and execution and install healthy boundaries around your work. A clean way to reframe failure so sunk costs turn into useful data. How to build a personal story engine so your brand shapes culture instead of chasing it.

How symptoms function as data and direction, serving as your body's early whisper before it becomes a shout. The connection between purpose, nervous system regulation, mitochondrial energy, and immune system boundary health. How beliefs about worthiness and belonging may dysregulate the immune system and reduce cellular energy production.

What if the secret to success isn't having all the answers, but embracing the unknown? In this episode of The Overlap Podcast, hosts Sid Sexton and Keith Glines dive deep into what it really means to learn as you go in business, fitness, and life. From messy starts and stubborn pivots to the surprising lessons of parenting and jiu-jitsu, they reveal why staying open-minded and humble might be the most valuable skill an entrepreneur can develop. You'll hear candid stories about running companies without perfect plans, pivoting when things don't work, and keeping momentum even when failure feels relentless. This is a raw, practical look at how growth often comes from trial, error, and the courage to keep going. What You Will Learn Why entrepreneurs must get comfortable with ambiguity and limited information. The fine line between stubbornness and knowing when to pivot. How parenting and jiu-jitsu mirror the challenges of business ownership. Practical strategies for controlling negative self-talk. Why humility and openness to younger voices can fuel long-term success. Key Topics Discussed The role of mental health in an entrepreneur's ability to pivot. Why making money quickly is usually a myth in business. The danger of ignoring market signals (Henry Ford's “buggy whip” lesson). How new creative tools like Canva are replacing old standards like Photoshop. What parenting teaches us about learning on the fly. How resilience in jiu-jitsu reflects resilience in entrepreneurship. Memorable Quotes “If you're going to be an entrepreneur, you have to be okay operating with limited information.” – Sid “Competition—whether in business or jiu-jitsu—is mostly mindset. If you just keep showing up, eventually you get there.” – Keith “It takes humility to know you don't know everything—and that you can learn from everyone.” – Sid Sponsor Spotlight Content Fresh – Growing The Overlap Podcast's social reach by 2,235%.

Transcript Excerpts [00:06:35] Keith: “Being an entrepreneur really is learning as you go. Most of us didn't follow a perfect plan—we just had to figure it out along the way.” [00:23:06] Sid: “When my oldest came out of the hospital, the fear hit me. Parenting teaches you to learn as you go better than anything else.” [00:34:40] Sid: “Keith just kept coming back to jiu-jitsu tournaments. That persistence—showing up even when you lose—is the same persistence you need in business.” Conclusion Learning as you go isn't a fallback—it's the way forward. Whether in business, parenting, or the gym, success comes from being open, adaptable, and willing to keep moving through uncertainty. Try applying just one “learn as you go” mindset shift this week—and share this episode with a fellow entrepreneur who needs encouragement.
