Do you want the secret on how to run a successful business? In this episode, Bryan Clayton, CEO & Founder of GreenPal shares how he was able to grow his company profitably without any external capital.  He explains what he’s learned from his failures and successes over the past 10 years. Why not grow organically?  It’s cheaper and can be faster.  Bryan provides insights into how he used AI technology to create and deliver value to GreenPal consumers. Bryan also believes one major contributing factor to his success was developing and growing through an org chart.  Maybe leaders never seriously consider an org chart and how it can drive an organization.  GreenPal, known as "Uber for lawn care" is entirely self-funded, a rare accomplishment in the startup world.  They have grown rapidly and now serve over 200,000 active users, completing thousands of transactions per day.  The company has been profitable since its first year of operation.  Annual revenue now exceeds $30 million. Are you doing $30 million after 10 years in business without giving away part of your company to outside investors?  If not, or even if you’re doing that well, join us to hear part of Bryan’s story.  There’s something here that can help you grow your organization.

#231 - Nadab Akhtar Explains Blockchain For Truth
Do you know how companies make money with your business and personal data?  What if you could connect your data with non-competitors for mutual gain? The online world is overflowing with opportunity… and high risks that can take your company down if you’re sloppy with your data.  But then again, there’s a lot to be gained if you can find the right path.  Our guest in this episode is Nadab Akhtar.  Nadab and his CrowdPoint team leverages smart contracts and blockchain technology to protect human identity with their Vogon Decentralized Cloud.  This Vogon beast is designed to handle massive amounts of data - securely with ease. You gain the benefits of transparent data sharing and a revolutionary new kind of secure data protection, plus reliable “data lake” CrowdPoint calls Collective Intelligence. Join Nadab and David, our host, as they explore how CrowdPoint is trying to enable users to own their data, even as it moves around the world.  We’re talking previously unprecedented control over things like identity, finance, and commerce in the new Web3 economy.  At least that’s the CrowdPoint vision.  We can’t predict whether they’ll succeed or not, but it’s something to consider.   This is NOT a technical discussion or deep dive into CrowdPoint’s technology.  Instead, this podcast is a layman’s introduction into how businesses (small, medium, and large) ultimately could leverage CrowdPoint’s blockchain fintech in decentralized markets that connect real-world goods and services with consumers.

#230 - Richard Moran Warns:  Never Say, “Whatever”

#230 - Richard Moran Warns: Never Say, “Whatever”
Life can be a lot like Chutes and Ladders, the classic children’s board game, says Richard Moran, author of a new book, NEVER SAY WHATEVER: How Small Decisions Make a Big Difference (McGraw Hill; April 11, 2023).  Each time you say “whatever” you slide down a chute, but each time you make a decision, you have the potential to climb a ladder and move forward.  Moran, host of the syndicated show “In the Workplace,” observes that “whatever” has become a flippant remark that is essentially a dismissal of responsibility.  David, our host, and Richard agree that “whatever” is a “four-letter word,” similar to the F-word, S-word, N-word and others.  It’s toxic, disrespectful, and can be irresponsible.  Moran takes this a step further.  He believes at work using the “w” word can be a career killer with short-and long-term consequences.  And in personal relationships it’s toxic.  It almost always defers or eliminates a decision or a choice that should be made. But the w-word is a habit.  A bad one.  Join this discussion if you’re tired of Gen Z or any other generation dismissing your ideas, concerns, and/or commands as a leader with “whatever…”  Moran has data to back up his conclusions, and ways to overcome this bad habit.  Join this podcast to learn more.   Moran has served as a CEO, a college president, a venture capitalist, and a top-level consultant.  He has worked for or with some of the world’s leading organizations including Accenture, Apple, News Corp, American Airlines, PG&E and many others.  He prides himself on his matter-of-fact manner of consulting and believes that many parts of the business world are needlessly complicated. Moran holds a Ph.D. in organizational behavior but his work is not academic.  Research is important, but he believes what is just as critical are the observations one can make by being in the “trenches” of business.  His observations are candid, humorous, and true.   Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Manage2Win ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

#226 – Jim Saliba’s Colored Scorecard
Would you like to Elevate, Elevate, and Excel what you do?  Jim Saliba is a former engineer who’s become a leadership coach.  He uses a scorecard to keep people on track that’s pretty interesting as part of his Triple E structure. Jim also talks about the 4 fears of leadership.  Do you have a negativity committee in your brain that keeps beating you up?  Virtually everyone does.  The key is how to overcome that noise to achieve results that are meaningful.  David called it a scorecard whereas James refers to it more as metrics to rate your people.  Color code it to know people’s capabilities at a glance.  What criteria would you put on that scorecard?  It can’t be too long, or too short.  It’s got to be Goldilocks length, and have the specifics that are most important about your team.  Starting his career as a software engineer and eventually becoming a VP of a $4 billion tech company, Jim developed his Six-Step Leadership Challenge, which he later shared in a book that was released in Sept 2022. Join this podcast if you’re looking for ways to overcome your fears as a leader, or you want to create a powerful scorecard to use with your team to drive results to the next level.

#225 - Matthew Bertulli on Saving Earth One Kitchen at a Time
The USDA says food waste is “estimated to be roughly one third of the food intended for human consumption in the United States.”  Our guest today, Matthew Bertulli, says the actual number is closer to 40% of our food ends-up in landfill.    When food is wasted it goes to the dump, which generates methane.  Methane gas is more toxic than Carbon Dioxide (CO2).  This is serious stuff, but what can you do about it besides trying to waste less food? Well… what happens in your grocery shopping and kitchen makes a difference.  Matthew is a software engineer, who reluctantly turned into a marketer and entrepreneur.  After bootstrapping his first company to 100+ people over 10+ years, he sold it to private equity in 2018.  He had stumbled onto the gargantuan problem of waste on our planet.  It overwhelms many, but Matthew zeroed in on one issue he found complicated because he loves a challenge:  How to combat food waste. The result is Matthew is the Co-founder and CEO of two consumer brands:  Pela Case and Lomi.  Pela is a certified B-corporation, has Jay-Z as a notable investor, was named Top 10 in the Canadian Business Growth 500 ranking, and is #1 in Deloitte’s Fast 50 for cleantech businesses in Canada. Lomi has a countertop food waste compost system that has sold over 120,000 units.  But can these two companies slow the earth’s demise enough to make a difference?  To learn more, join David conversation with Matthew.  And by the way, if you decide to purchase a Lomi, use the promo code, manage2win, for a discount.  Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Manage2Win  -------  This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.

#223 - Everyone Leads Says Tim Lupinacci
How would you respond to a disappointed boss that yelled at you after a significant failure? Many leaders would look for another place to work.  Tim Lupinacci made a different decision 30 years ago.  He became a self-professed “leadership junkie” to improve his leadership skills.  On this podcast, Tim discusses some of his best habits and ways to achieve significant things through others.  Today, Tim is CEO and Chair at Baker Donelson, where he leads over 1,300 individuals in 22 offices across the Southeastern US.  The firm is one of the nation’s top 100 law firms, and it has a strong HR practice for other leaders.  Of particular interest to us, is that Tim recently launched a non-profit called “Everybody Leads.”  It’s focused on empowering individuals in underserved communities with basic leadership skills and confidence to better lead themselves, lead others, and lead in the community. Whether you’re a new leader or seasoned veteran, Tim has a perspective you can gain from.  Join this discussion to learn more about how Tim’s journey can help you, and his nonprofit might be something for you to consider supporting.

#222 - Helen Fanucci Loves On Her Team
Would you like insights from a top sales leader?  This is not a Microsoft-endorsed podcast, but our guest Helen Fanucci is a highly successful Microsoft sales executive who wants to share her best practices with you. Most sales managers think, “My team better make quota, or I’ll lose my job.”  It’s pretty simple.  However, Helen’s sales leadership approach is to shift your focus intentionally and pragmatically from traditional deals and dollars to the ambitions, success, and well-being of each member of your team.  This means the sales professionals on your team are your first, middle, and last selling priority every day for sales management.  They are your number one customer! Part of the reason for this change is the hybrid work revolution that began back in 2020.  Sales management is even more important in our innovation economy, yet simultaneously the most challenging. Why?  Because the workforce power structure has been flipped upside down, putting every top seller in a position to write their own ticket.  Helen’s solution is her system to Love Your Team, including 17 crucial conversations every sales manager should be having regularly with their people.   Join this podcast to learn more. Helen Fanucci is an MIT-trained engineer who has built her reputation and career managing teams responsible for billions of dollars of quota.  She developed the Love Your Team system of sales management over a 25-year career on the front lines at top tech companies including Apple, Sun Microsystems, IBM, and Microsoft. Helen’s first book is a hit:  Love Your Team, A Survival Guide for Sales Managers in a Hybrid World.  She also hosts the Love Your Team podcast, which focuses on retaining top talent and building high-performing teams.

#221 - Matt Tenney’s 2 Tips Break Barriers
“Your thoughts do not define who you are,” our guest, Matt Tenney of The Mindfulness Edge, advises us.  What does that mean? Matt appealed to us as a guest because his agent communicated he had leadership lessons from a prison and a monastery.  That sounded intriguing.  Matt does have a four-step leadership system that can help many leaders. But it’s what he learned in prison that I found most useful. Matt also explained how he starts every workday with 20-25 minutes of mindfulness, exercise, time with his family, and then blocks off his calendar until 11:00am.  Only urgent needs from clients get his morning time.  Makes you wonder…  What’s Matt doing until 11am each workday?  Coffee and hot tubs? No. Matt sets aside every workday morning for “asset building.”  WOW!  Love it. What would happen if you did not look at email or answer texts/IM, etc. until 11am, and you invested that time into asset building? Listen to this podcast to learn more. Are you wondering what Matt shared about his time in prison?  You should.  It’s powerful.  I can say so myself because I’m applying his Mindfulness Edge in my life.  (David) Listen to this podcast.  Good conversation.  Plus, two tips that can change your life.

#220 – Value-Based Marketing with Aaron Burnett
The most important relationships to live out your company values are with your employees.  Can you state your company values from memory?  If not, why not?  Are you living them out daily?  How do you know? Aaron Burnett lives out his company’s values every day.  As a result, people describe Aaron as “trustworthy,” “astute,” “imaginative,” and “scary smart.”  These are rarely adjectives used to describe marketing agency leaders after they have been in the industry for decades.  But Aaron walks his talk. Wheelhouse Digital Marketing Group is recognized by INC Magazine as one of the best places to work in the United States, and by both Seattle Magazine and the Puget Sound Business Journal as one of the best workplaces in Washington State.  The seeds of Wheelhouse were sown over 25 years ago on the banks of the Bohorok River in Sumatra.  You can read that story here.  However, if you want inspiration and ideas of how to supercharge your company culture, then join this podcast to hear what Aaron has to say.  This is an engaging, inspiring conversation about building a thriving culture that is infused with helpfulness, generosity, and joy.

#219 - Jerome Deroy Grabs ‘Em With Great Stories
Jerome Deroy was hired, but did not connect with the company’s culture.  When he did, he found it lacking direction.  Do any of your employees have the same feelings about your firm? Honest, engaging storytelling that touches people’s hearts changes relationships, professional and personal.  How well do you explain things to others? Did you know the human brain is hard-wired for story?  Scientific studies show us that we remember stories more than data, statistics, and numbers.  Yet most people in business try to convince others rather than use a story. Jerome and his Narativ team seek to change that.  They help companies activate behavioral change from the inside out.  Their methods of listening and storytelling can transform anyone’s communication. In this podcast, Jerome shares aspects of the rigorous and precise Narativ method that gets to the emotional heart of a story to better communicate your company’s value, a point your want to make, or the way a partnership can be a huge win-win for those involved. Join us to hear Jerome’s tips.  There’s got to be one here that can help you communicate more effectively with others. Jerome joined Narativ in 2007 after the founders, Murray Nossel and Paul Browde, handed him a shoebox full of notes and said, “We think there’s a company in here.”  Jerome had recently left a position at BNP Paribas, Hong Kong, and come to New York to pursue a career in filmmaking. Instead, he jumped at the challenge — and transformed Narativ into the business it is today. For the last 13 years, Jerome has worked closely with clients as diverse as CIGNA, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Janssen Pharma, and Warby Parker to craft business-relevant personal stories for sales, leadership, and team building.  He regularly lectures at Parsons New School of Design in New York City on The Art of Storytelling.

#218 - Wendy Swire Fights Saboteurs to Reach Sage
Here’s your chance to learn from a “Brain Geek.”  Wendy Swire wants to teach us how to rewire our brains to create laser-focused results as we move from “Saboteur” to “Sage Brain” thinking. Everyone knows the health benefits of having disciplined, positive habits or routines.  For instance, physical fitness, spiritual prayer – worship – meditation,  time with loved ones… but what about mental fitness? Science has now proven we can train our cognitive muscles to avoid, block, or more quickly recover from negative attacks within our brain.  Everyone has them.  We are actually wired to be negative as part of our survival instincts.  However, we are NOT wired to endure the constant onslaught of manipulative media and/or wounded people that pester us with negative messages thousands of times daily.  (If we allow them to…) Learn more about yourself on this podcast, and visit our Manage 2 Win page on Wendy’s site to take a free 5-minute assessment.  Join this conversation to get glimpse on how you can be stronger, even a superpower, by growing positive neural connections to the 10 attributes of your positive “Sage Brain.”  Stop the “saboteurs” and negativity committee’s attacks.  Recover more quickly. This is great stuff. Our guest, Wendy Swire, is the founder of Swire Solutions.  She is a global executive coach, author, applied neuroscience consultant, Founder of the DC Neuroleadership Group, and certified mental fitness coach.  Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Manage2Win ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.  I (David) review Habitly best practices regularly, and teach these essential people skills to clients weekly.  This advice has changed my life, and made millions for our clients.
