Remember your first email marketing campaign? Or maybe you're old enough to remember when "digital marketing" meant updating your GeoCities website? Well, just like those marketers who dismissed email as a fad in the '90s, there are those today who are missing the signs of AI's transformative power in marketing. Every day, I talk to marketers who are either paralyzed by AI's complexity or, worse, dismissing it as just another overhyped trend. They're making the same mistake marketers made with social media in 2008, mobile in 2010, and video marketing in 2015. The cost of waiting to adapt isn't just falling behind – it's becoming irrelevant. The challenge isn't just learning AI – it's understanding how we got here and where we're headed. Without this context, marketers risk making costly mistakes, investing in the wrong tools, or missing critical opportunities that could define their careers. That's why I'm thrilled to welcome Katie King to the show today. Katie is the author of "AI Strategy for Sales and Marketing" and has been at the forefront of digital transformation for over two decades. She's worked with global brands including Virgin, Samsung, and PwC, helping them navigate the evolution from basic automation to today's AI-powered marketing landscape. As a visiting lecturer at several universities and CEO of AI in Business, Katie brings both historical perspective and practical insights to help us understand where marketing technology has been – and more importantly, where it's going. The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Katie King about: ✨ History Repeats Itself: AI adoption follows familiar patterns seen in previous marketing technology revolutions. ✨ Evolution Not Revolution: Understanding AI's gradual integration helps marketers adapt more effectively. ✨ Future-Proof Foundation: Historical context provides the framework for making better AI implementation decisions.

In this episode, Jamie speaks with Flore Saint Fleur, Vice President at Avanade. Born in Haiti, Flore moved to the US and joined the Army, serving in both active duty and the reserves. She discusses the leadership tension line between providing transparency and optimism, and how this relates to her leadership journey both in the service and as a civilian leader in tech. She offers phenomenal insight into leading successfully in times of change, including providing assurance around “the why,” prioritizing clear communication, and helping people believe in the cause. Flore shares the importance of vulnerability, both in providing a team the space to be vulnerable and in showing your vulnerability as a leader. We end the discussion with the topic of inclusion and how giving back to others brings gratitude full circle. Flore is a purpose-driven leader full of wisdom, curiosity, empathy, and bias for action.   During the episode, Flore refers to the following:  Don't Believe Everything You Think: Why Your Thinking is the Beginning & End of Suffering by Joseph Nguyen Dare to Lead: Brave Work.

My wife often jokes that I read 4-5 books simultaneously. It's true! If you own a digital book reader or use an audiobook app like Audible to consume books, then you've probably jumped between a title or two as well, depending on your mood.   By Editor, Concierge Medicine Today   I personally love bouncing between a few titles and topics. I think the secret is listening or reading one chapter at a time once or twice a week! Then, I jump onto a podcast path, perhaps with a similar author I find interesting in the car or during a workout.   But finding the right balance between learning and pleasure is important, especially FOR Doctors!   Reading a few books simultaneously helps me avoid getting stuck or bored. If a book or a chapter is too slow, allow yourself to skip a track or jump a few pages. Life is too short, and there are too many great books to push through painfully.   Throughout nearly the past two decades here at Concierge Medicine Today, we compiled a list of books that either I've read and found helpful or your peers and those we've interviewed over the years here at Concierge Medicine Today, our conference, the Concierge Medicine Forum, or our podcast, The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast, have been recommended to us on this topic.   Note: If you're specifically only looking for books about Concierge Medicine, we included a few recommendations at the end of the article we would offer for your consideration as well.    In keeping with what we've learned today … “The best leaders are readers!” — here are some of the titles your peers have mentioned and a few more books that have come across our path we recommend Physicians consider —   Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection" by Charles Duhigg" "Radical Candor: Fully Revised & Updated Edition: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity" Hardcover – Big Book, October 1, 2019 by Kim Scott "No More Waiting Rooms: A Customer Service Road Map to Help Remarkable Medical Offices Navigate Their Way Towards an Irresistible Practice Where Gratitude Is on Repeat!" by Michael Tetreault "Counterclockwise: Using Peptides to Renew, Rejuvenate, and Rediscover" by Dr. Suzanne J Ferree "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" Paperback – December 29, 2020 by Greg McKeown (Author) "Designing for Health: The Human-Centered Approach" Hardcover – November 13, 2023 by Craig Joseph (Author), Jerome Pagani (Author) "Untangle Your Emotions: Naming What You Feel and Knowing What to Do About It" Hardcover – February 13, 2024 by Jennie Allen (Author) "Unstoppable Brain: The New Neuroscience that Frees Us from Failure, Eases Our Stress, and Creates Lasting Change" Hardcover – April 30, 2024 by Kyra Bobinet (Author) "Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success" by John C.

We're excited to bring you insights from a recent interview with Tim Fulton, President of Small Business Matters, Vistage Chair Emeritus, and Executive Coach. Tim is a returning podcast guest and a favorite among our listeners, bringing his wealth of knowledge to help you attract and retain top talent in today's evolving job market. Labor Market Insights: Navigating the New Normal Tim starts by addressing a common observation: “Most business owners would tell you the labor market has improved over the past 12 months.” This improvement is particularly notable for small and mid-sized companies. Businesses have adapted post-COVID, finding innovative ways to attract candidates from diverse backgrounds, different markets, and varying levels of education and skills. Flexibility is Key: Adapting to Workforce Needs A critical trend highlighted by Tim is the increasing need for flexibility. Companies are shifting from rigid work schedules to more adaptable models, such as offering hybrid work options and flexible hours. Tim emphasizes that the question shouldn't just be about remote vs. in-office work but rather, “Do I trust my employees?” This trust-based approach focuses on outcomes rather than the specific logistics of where and when the work is done. Embracing Modern Work Policies: Unlimited PTO and Remote Work Pre-COVID, concepts like unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO) and remote work were often dismissed. However, Tim believes that with the right employees, processes, and procedures, these policies can be effective across various businesses. The modern workforce, especially younger employees, highly values remote work options, making it a crucial aspect of job listings today. As Tim puts it, “Today ⅔ of employees are knowledge workers and work from home. The train has left the station, we are not going backward to office life as we knew it.” Crafting Compelling Job Listings Job listings must reflect the current job market's demands. Tim suggests including clear expectations regarding work location, flexibility, and growth opportunities in the description and the job results in the job heading. Additionally, platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn, your own company's website, and local colleges/universities are excellent for reaching a diverse pool of candidates. Effective Interview Strategies: Finding the Right Fit During interviews, it's essential to assess if the candidate can perform the job, fit within your company culture, and work well with you. Tim advises using behavior assessments and post-hire evaluations to ensure you're making the right choice. Group interviews can be beneficial when you have multiple strong candidates, and using a scorecard can help in making objective decisions. Ensuring the Right Hire: Comprehensive Evaluation To confirm you've made the right hiring decision, involve various stakeholders in the hiring process, conduct thorough reference checks, and use behavioral assessments to gauge the candidate's fit within your team. Conclusion: Prepare to Transform Your Hiring Process Tune in to the latest episode of Scaling UP! H2O to dive deeper into these insights and more from Tim Fulton. This episode is packed with practical advice and actionable strategies that can transform your hiring process and help you secure top performers for your team.   Timestamps 01:00 - Trace Blackmore asks you to submit your show ideas 04:00 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals  08:15 - Interview with Tim Fulton 59:00 - Closing thoughts with Trace 1:06:25 - Drop by Drop With James McDonald    Quotes “Most business owners would tell you the labor market has improved over the past 12 months.” - Tim Fulton “When interviewing someone ask yourself: “Can they do the job, can they do it here, can they do the job with me?” - Tim Fulton “As a manager, you need to ask yourself: Do I want to manage someone's time or their work?

The challenge is to ask your customer what you can do better? I mean to walk up to your customer, look them in the eye, tell them not to hold back, and ask them what you could be doing better for them. If they give you positive feedback, great!  If they unload all their pent up frustration upon you. Thank them for taking the time and caring enough to share their thoughts with you. Then take the time to give careful consideration to the feedback you received, even if it offends you at first. Try to have empathy with the customer to understand where they are coming from. Then use this moment to grow and become better. Communication is a two-way street, so be sure to let them know how you have reflected upon and implemented any relevant advice.    2024 Events for Water Professionals Check out our Scaling UP!

This episode is also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-Fo8j45Ne1Y Hiring the right salesperson for the stage your company is currently in is crucial to your success. As Karen Gordon emphasizes, the importance lies in understanding the unique needs of your company's growth phase and finding someone who can meet those specific demands. Early-stage companies might require a salesperson who is versatile and capable of wearing multiple hats, from creating sales emails to collaborating with marketing. On the other hand, more established companies might need someone who excels in managing and growing a sales team. Hiring someone not ready for the role can lead to misaligned strategies, wasted resources, and missed opportunities, ultimately hindering your company's growth. Karen Gordon is a distinguished go-to-market leader with a career dedicated to building and scaling early and growth-stage startups. Most recently, she served as the Executive Vice President and a founding team member at GoodShuffle Pro, a SaaS platform for event companies. Under her leadership, GoodShuffle Pro grew from zero dollars to over five million in annual recurring revenue, leading to their Series A funding in January 2024. Currently, Karen is a consultant and advisor to businesses looking to scale, leveraging her extensive experience in revenue generation, marketing, and product management. Her expertise is sought after by companies aiming to achieve significant growth and operational excellence. What you'll learn: What are the crucial factors to consider when hiring a salesperson for different stages of a company's growth? How can founders identify red flags and ensure they hire the right sales leader for their needs? What strategies can early-stage companies employ to build trust and effectively scale their sales efforts? We want to hear from you! Sales leaders: What are the challenges you are faced with?

Fasting isn't just about skipping meals. Discover the unexpected secrets and deeper purposes of fasting and how it can transform your life. It's Day 18 of our 21 day fast. Today, we are going to look at another book on fasting, by Ted Shuttlesworth, Jr. "A Complete Guide to Biblical Fasting: Master the Habit that Provokes God's Favor". DISCLAIMERS: Remember, fasting does not move God. Fasting moves us. It puts us in a position to receive from God.   I am not a medical professional, and nothing in this podcast should be taken as medical advice.  Please fast responsibly. If you have any underlying health issues or unhealthy relationship with food, do not fast. And if you are going on an extended fast, it's a good idea to check with your doctor first. Father God,  We embrace this time of fasting as an act of pure obedience. As we deny our physical needs, help us to focus more intently on You, deepening our spiritual connection and understanding of Your will. We ask for strength and discipline during this fast, recognizing it as a powerful tool to humble ourselves. May this time of fasting be a testament to our dedication to You and our desire to emulate Christ in every aspect of our lives. Guide us in using this period to worship You wholeheartedly, and to prepare ourselves for the work You have called us to. As we commit to this fast, to strengthen not only our bodies but also our spirits, aligning our desires with Your holy purpose. Father, I lift up our community and those participating in this fast. May we support and encourage each other, growing together in faith and love. Let this time be a turning point in our lives, where we come to know You more deeply and serve You more faithfully. May this be a time of renewal, growth, and profound spiritual awakening. We commit this fast, our lives, and all that we do, to You. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen. ----- Thank you for joining me on Meditating The Word today. This is Cheree, reminding you that you are in my prayers. I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.  Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing. ---- Resources mentioned in today's Podcast Episode: A Complete Guide to Biblical Fasting: Master the Habit that Provokes God's Favor by Ted Shuttlesworth, Jr. https://amzn.to/3OqpXrB - #CommissionsEarned Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek -- https://amzn.to/48VX5je - #CommissionsEarned OR, listen to the audiobook free: https://amzn.to/3Oq0uhS - #CommissionsEarned Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/richard-bodgers/earth-in-bloom License code: PKB2GOTPFQSZZFD7 Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sonder-house/dreaming-elliott-jacques License code: 5HBP1CI7GED7IEQD #meditatingtheword #podcast #fasting #fastingandprayer #ElmerTowns #fastingforspiritualbreakthrough #biblicalfasts

Joanna Hagelberger is currently the Vice President of Customer Success at Rhoads Online, a technology provider of compliance solutions to the insurance industry. Her entire professional career has been in the insurance industry with the last 20 years in insurtech. Joanna is passionate about the customer experience, particularly the benefit a strong account management program can bring to an organization and its customers.  In her current role, Joanna is responsible for ensuring customers and prospects are having the best possible experience with Rhoads. Joanna received her BS and MS in Communication from Florida State University, she is a licenced insurance agent in the state of Michigan and she is a certified Executive Coach.    Questions • Could you share with our listeners a little bit about your journey? How it is that you got from where you were to where you are today? • Can you tell our listeners a little bit about Rhoads Online? What is Rhoads Online? And what value do they bring to their customer base? • Could you tell us maybe three things you've seen as recurring themes that come across being more proactive than reactive in the space that you operate in to ensure that you're able to maximize on customer success? • What are maybe one or two things that you believe as an organisation, especially in the insurance industry, specifically, you would need to be focusing on to ensure that you're setting yourself apart and truly giving the customer more than they expect, and kind of living to what you were saying, trying to predict their needs before they know they even need it. • Could you share with our listeners, what's the one online tool, app or website that you absolutely can't live without in your business? • Could you also share with our listeners, any books that you've read, it could be a book that you've read recently, or even one you read a very long time ago, but it has had a great impact on you. • Now Joanna, can you also share with us what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. • Where can listeners find you online? • Before we wrap our episodes up, we always like to ask our guests, do you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you will tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you get derailed or you get off track? This quote kind of helps you to get back on track. Do you have one of those? Highlights Joanna's Journey Me: Could you share with our listeners a little bit about your journey? How it is that you got from where you were to where you are today?   Joanna shared that she can tell you that no one as a little girl dreams or as a kid dreams someday I'm going to be working in insurance. So, most people decided, stumble into it somewhere along the way. And hers was a work study position when she was in college as a part of her financial aid, she was given a job working in the Employee Benefits Office at Florida State. And that ended up taking her into their insurance office where they administered their insurance, how their employees got insurance. So, when she got out of grad school, and was looking for a job, she had this insurance knowledge of how the insurance space worked and that landed her with a position of a company that is today known as Willis Towers Watson. It was well as Willis at the time and became just Willis last year, and Madonna. And now has added new names again. So, that has taken her down a path, she's worked for insurance brokers, insurance agencies, insurance companies, third party administrators, she's been on all different sides of the business.  And about 20 years ago, she had the opportunity to jump to the other side of the business, and work in insurance technology, where insurance historically has been a very paper based, manual, difficult industry where everything is delivered by paper, every form is completed with pen and paper. And this company was working to build automation with insurance producers, the people that actually sell the insurance, the insurance agencies and the insurance companies, and how they communicate with the State Departments of Insurance. And that's pretty much how she ended up where she is today, just have grown over time.   What is Rhoads Online? Me: Can you tell our listeners a little bit about Rhoads Online? What is Rhoads Online? And what value do they bring to their customer base?   Joanna shared that just as she said that that insurtech that she went to 20 years ago, Rhoads is in that same space. So, what they do is help insurance companies and agencies predominantly connect those insurance producers, the people that are selling insurance, get them contracted, and make sure that they are appropriately licensed and credentialed to sell the insurance that they're selling before they do. Because if an individual sells a policy and they are not properly credentialed, they don't have all of the licenses contracts, and the insurance company hasn't told the state that that person is selling for them, then the insurance company gets in trouble. So, making that all of those ducks are in a row and everything is in order, it keeps the insurance company off the front page of the Wall Street Journal and allows them to sell compliantly and make sure that the consumer is protected when they do it.   Being Proactive Than Reactive to Ensure You Maximize on Customer Success  Me: Now, a big part of what you do is customer success. And of course, that's typically ensuring that the client is getting exactly what they want and desire. Not sure if this is a call that you made, or it's just something that you live by as a mantra, but it states, “You can't just be reactive, you have to be proactive, predicting their needs before they even realize it.” So, could you tell us maybe three things you've seen as recurring themes that come across being more proactive than reactive in the space that you operate in to ensure that you're able to maximize on customer success?   Joanna shared that she thinks this is in any industry, it's not specific to what she does. But customer service to her is something that is tactical and reactive. If you think about customer service, and customer service is something we all interact with, probably with a little bit of dread and we hope that it's a good experience that we're opening a Chatbot or we're sending in an email or opening a ticket, or calling an 800 number. And we hope that for whatever reason we're calling that number that whatever the issue is, is resolved. We want it to be resolved quickly and painlessly and to whatever satisfaction we hoped it would be.   And again, it's very reactive, it is in response to whatever I as the consumer is bringing forward to that company, or as the customer, if it's B2B or B2C, it doesn't matter, customer service is about fixing that one little thing that the person calling in has announced needs fixing. Where customers success to her is, is the opposite of that. It isn't reactive, and it isn't tactical. The important thing is that we're being proactive, that we're getting in front of the customer, and being intentional about having strategic conversations. Because as the company is moving forward, and as they're growing, they want to make sure that that path forward and that growth is aligned with the path forward and the growth of their customers.  If their development team builds a brand new piece of functionality, and no one uses it, then that has been a waste of time of their development team number one, but also the opportunity costs that's lost, because they didn't build something that their customers would have really liked, what they would have used and what they would have needed. So, it is all about being proactive, and being strategic. And what she means by strategic is simply looking further ahead. It's not what's happening in the moment right now, it's where are we going together and making sure that those things stay aligned as they continue to move forward.  Because what her goals are and what she's trying to accomplish in six months, a year, three years, five years, those are going to keep changing as time moves forward. So, making sure that they keep having those conversations, leaving those lines of communication open, sharing what's going on in the industry, and what's going on in their customers' business, as well as what's going on in her business, that's how they all move forward and stay aligned.   Organization Setting Themselves Apart and Giving Customers More Than They Expect Me: Now, you've been an insurance for over two decades, Joanna, and I'm sure you've seen lots of ups and downs, hills and gullies kind of thing. But in your own experience, especially as we're moving forward embarking on a new calendar year, what are maybe one or two things that you believe as an organization, especially in the insurance industry, specifically, you would need to be focusing on to ensure that you're setting yourself apart and truly giving the customer more than they expect, and kind of living to what you were saying, trying to predict their needs before they know they even need it.   Joanna stated that she really thinks the big thing, especially in the insurance industry, is that the Googles and Amazons of the world have set an expectation for across all industries, that technology is easy to use that “I should be able to get the answers to my questions with the click of a button and with the phone that's in my hand, I shouldn't have to go to the horror, a real computer, I should be able to from a mobile device, be able to do anything that I should need to be able to do with any business partner of mine from my phone.” So, she really thinks that that expectation is where the insurance industry needs to focus.  There's so much talk about AI and Blockchain and Chatbots and all of the magical technology that's out there. But if we can't meet the basic table stakes of being able to get a quote for insurance from her phone, then that insurance company will not be able to succeed. If she is standing on the side of the road and I live in Michigan in certain times of the year and they hit deer, it happens and if she's on the side of the road because she's just hit a deer or had any kind of an accident. If she can't pull out her phone and initiate that claim from her phone, she's not going to stay with that insurance company because they haven't met her need when she needed them. So, being able to meet those basic needs from core technology is where the insurance industry needs to focus right now.    App, Website or Tool that Joanna Absolutely Can't Live Without in Her Business When asked about an online resource that she cannot live without in her business, Joanna shared that she has a couple. Because of what she does, the CRM that they use, that's how she keeps her pulse on what's going on in their business. So, they happen to use Salesforce. But she's used HubSpot in the past, and there are other great CRMs out there. But the most important thing is having one central repository to be able to see everything that's going on to the lifecycle of your customer. If you're working in customer experience and you can't see what's going on with your customers, and you're trying to use an Excel spreadsheet or some other form of technology, there's just no way to get that 360 degree view. But personally, within customer success, there is an amazing website called kapta.com. And kapta.com is a technology that integrates with your CRM, not what she's endorsing here, she's sure it's great, but she's not actually used that technology, but the number of resources that Kapta has on their website to help people that work in key account management, whatever form of that that is you work in, they have so many resources available to help account managers be successful with their customers, and to help organisations and leaders know how to help their account managers be successful. So, Kapta is amazing.  And then specifically in her industry, insurtech Connect, ITC has a six things newsletter that is just incredible. It keeps you informed of everything that could be going on in the insurance industry that has anything to do with technology. And it's an interesting read for anyone.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Joanna When asked about books that have had a great impact her, Joanna shared that there are two that she finds herself going back to over and over and over again. And the first one is Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek, it helps from an organizational perspective, as well as on an individual perspective. Whether you're working with customers, with employees, “Knowing the Why of why you do what you do.”  And a common theme in her world is, it's not about you. It's not about her, it's not about what she's doing. It's about the customer, and it's about the employee and why they do what they do. And if we can be other focus and know why people are motivated to do the things that they do. And to know what our Why is and why we get up each morning and why we're helping our customers and why these things matter. She's listened to Simon's podcast, and it's just brilliant. And that all started with Start with Why for her. The second one is a book called Unleashed: The Unapologetic Leader's Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You, it's by Anne Morriss and Frances Frei. And it's all about empowerment, and when you're working in account management or customer success or customer service, this is a tough job, it's a tough job where the people in this space spend a lot of time getting yelled at oftentimes, and they're trying to make the customer's world a better place. And when you can come from a perspective of empowering those people to be successful, to have the ability to make the decisions that makes the customer's world a better place, it's better for the customer, it's better for the company, and it's better for the human that gets to make those decisions. If they sit there all day every day saying, “I'm sorry, I don't know. But I'll check on that and get back to you.” That's a very difficult space to be in. So, being able to empower people is their greatest version of themselves, it's really powerful and it's really a game changer.   What Joanna is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something she's really excited about, Joanna shared that this year, she got the opportunity to spend some time really diving into the Enneagram. And if the listeners aren't familiar with the Enneagram, it's a personality assessment type of profile that looks at why people behave the way that they do. So, Enneagram have types, you do an assessment, it gives you a direction on what your type may be. And then you do some more homework and you confirm that that is your type.  And Beatrice Chestnut, wrote a book called The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge. And she's really had the opportunity to pour into that and what she loves about it is it doesn't matter what part of your life you're looking at, whether it's about your employees, your boss, your co-worker, any other co-workers, your spouse, your kids, family members, customers, it doesn't matter, being able to get insight into what charges people up, what gets them to behave the way that they do. And then when they're doing well, why you might see some other characteristics where when they're feeling stressed, or things are difficult, you can look for other traits that might come in. It has been incredibly insightful, and she feels like reading Beatrice's book has been a college level course on this. But the amount of insight that it's given into people. And then the other thing that is maybe a little bit more approachable to people rather than reading a giant textbook is Ian Cron has a podcast called Typology that is just fascinating, where he talks to people with different Enneagram types, and about how they interact with the world. And it's just fascinating and it's been so much fun to learn this year.   Where Can We Find Joanna Online LinkedIn – Joanna-Hagelberger Website – www.rhoadsonline.com   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Joanna Uses  When asked about a quote or saying that she tends to revert to, Joanna shared that she does have, Maya Angelou, which she's sure many of our guests have quoted, because she's very quotable. This is how she hears it in her head is that, “People will forget what you said and did but people will never forget how you made them feel.” And she feels like when we're dealing, this is all about customer experience. And if we can just remember that how we make our customers feel and how they experience us makes all the difference in the world.    Me: Amazing. Thank you so much, Joanna, for taking time out of your very busy schedule, and hopping on this podcast with us today and sharing all of the great insights that you've learned and just best practices that you've taken on as an individual as a customer service practitioner in your own right, especially in your industry. And just looking at some opportunities that we can strengthen, building out our customer success teams and actually giving customers as you had stated earlier, giving them what they need before they even know that they need it and I thought that was really brilliant.

Selling a business is more than just finding the right buyer; it's about taking the necessary steps to effectively prepare for this major transition. In this episode, A.J. welcomes Kirk Michie from Candor Advisors to discuss the six key steps for a successful business sale. They talk about the importance of understanding your purpose in business, why entrepreneurs need to be more open to outside help, and the indispensable role that trusted financial advisors can play when you're looking to sell your business.About Kirk Michie:Kirk Michie is the Founder and currently the Managing Partner of Candor Advisors, a company providing transaction advisory services to successful founder-led businesses. With 30+ years of industry experience, Kirk has built an exceptional career in strategic planning, investment, and legacy preservation. He has leveraged his entrepreneurial wisdom to guide business owners, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth families through complex financial decisions. He has an impressive record, having managed over $1 billion in capital allocation and assessed over 2,000 direct investments. Kirk is also the Founder of EBITDA University, which offers learning programs about selling businesses. Kirk is not just a financial advisor but a thought leader, having spoken at numerous prestigious events and organizations, including Association for Corporate Growth events, Vistage, and Entrepreneurs Organization gatherings.Episode highlights: Entrepreneurs often find it hard to seek advice, especially when they're faced with crucial inflection points in their business growth. However, if you want to achieve the right outcome for you, whether that's the most money or the best legacy control, asking for help and finding a trustworthy person to lean on throughout the process is a necessary step. (05:09) Effective communication is essential in every business aspect, and selling a business is no exception. One powerful technique that can significantly impact your business exit outcome is Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). It offers great tools for comprehending different communication styles and processing modes, leading to better mutual understanding and more successful sales outcomes. (09:52)  When you're hiring an advisor for a capital event, it's essential to look for someone whose expertise combines three different skill sets for different parts of the sales process. According to Kirk, the most successful sales outcomes happen with advisors who play these three roles: guru, guide, and gladiator.. (16:10) There are six key steps that lead to a successful business sale: knowing your why, matching a buyer's why with yours, professionalizing financials, not giving up too much too soon, seeking guidance from experts, and having reasonable expectations. (24:19) Finding your ‘why' is essential when preparing to sell your company or take on investment capital. Understanding this will help you optimize your financial sale or process, ultimately leading to a successful sale and a smooth transition. (33:15) Kirk's best advice for entrepreneurs:“If you're the entrepreneur and you're selling, you're still Don Quixote, we're Sancho Panza. It is your hero's journey. But the critical thing is pick your Guru Guide Gladiator and lean on them. That doesn't mean stop listening to other good advice that you've used to build your business, but lean on that person for their experience, their scar tissue, their perspective. Because if you've found the right advisor, you're going to get to the right outcome for you, whether that's the most money, the best terms, the best legacy control, you're going to get to the right outcome if you collaborate the right way on your sale.” (05:54) Connect with Kirk:  LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Resources Mentioned: Use the code ‘B8FP' to receive a 25% discount off any EBITDA University program Candor Advisors Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek Follow Beyond 8 Figures: Linkedin Twitter Website Affiliate Disclaimer: Some links in this episode are affiliate links.

In episode 98 of the Transition Drill podcast, we delve into the life and career of Kevin Seiff, a former Navy SEAL and Marine Corps officer who transitioned into entrepreneurship. Kevin's journey began at the age of 12 when he met a Navy SEAL and was inspired to follow a similar path. After attending the Naval Academy and serving in the Marine Corps, with 1 combat deployment to Afghanistan, Kevin transferred to the Navy and served as a SEAL officer for seven years.   During his military career, Kevin had unique experiences, such as being one of the few SEALs stationed in Korea during a period of escalating tensions. He worked closely with some “three-letter” agencies and high-ranking military officials, gaining invaluable skills and insights. However, after a decade in the military, Kevin desired more control over his professional career, leading to his discharge in 2020.   Today, Kevin is the owner of Flintlock Solutions, a recruiting firm working with life science and technology companies. He also runs The Vetrepreneur Collective, where he trains veterans to leverage their military skills and experiences to become entrepreneurs.   This episode offers valuable insights into the transition from military service to entrepreneurship, making it a must-listen for military members, first responders, and budding entrepreneurs. Kevin's story is a testament to the transferability of military skills to the business world and the potential for veterans to carve out successful post-military careers.   PODCAST - LISTEN, WATCH, AND SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/TransitionDrillPodcast   CONNECT WITH KEVIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-seiff/ https://flintlocksolutions.com/ https://www.vetrepreneurcollective.com/   RECOMMENDED BOOKS: Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine https://www.amazon.com/Profit-First-Transform-Cash-Eating-Money-Making/dp/073521414X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1   The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Revisited-Businesses-published-HarperCollins/dp/B00E27YS0A/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=e-myth+revisited+by+michael+gerber&s=books&sr=1-2   The Infinite Game https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Game-Simon-Sinek/dp/073521350X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1   Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action https://www.amazon.com/Start-Why-Leaders-Inspire-Everyone/dp/1591842808/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-3
