  • About Kenneth Berger:

    Kenneth Berger coaches startup leaders to fend off burnout, take a stand for the life they want, and leave their unique mark on the world. After 20+ years in the tech industry, he’s a trusted confidant to startup CEOs, a former founder backed by top investors, and one of communication cornerstone Slack’s earliest key hires. He's also seen and felt all the unhealthy conflicts these companies can create. His mission is to help startup leaders change the world by learning to ask for what they want effectively: building genuine relationships even with the people they find most challenging. These days, he's working on a book titled "Ask for What You Want" to share his practical techniques for creating change with the world.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Kenneth Berger discuss:

    The importance and challenges of asking for what you wantThe intersection of vulnerability and leadership in communicationBalancing personal ambition with effective relationship-buildingShifting power dynamics in employer-employee relationshipsOvercoming fear and uncertainty in personal and professional development

    Key Takeaways:

    Effective asking involves articulating your desires, expressing them respectfully, and being prepared to handle the response—whether positive or negative.The fear of rejection or loss often prevents people from expressing what they want, but confronting this fear can lead to personal growth and better relationships.Clear desires often emerge from addressing frustrations or complaints, making clarity a practical starting point for communication.Modern societal disconnection, exacerbated by technology and the pandemic, has made asking for what we want even more essential for meaningful connections.

    "When you start from that foundation of mutual respect for what you want and what you don’t want, a lot becomes possible.” — Kenneth Berger

In 2016, inspired by his experience as an Uber driver, he identified a gap in the market for child car seats in taxis and car services and developed a mobile app connecting parents with skilled drivers for secure airport transfers. Despite a challenging background, including growing up poor in New York and surviving a life-threatening train accident, Nelson built Kidmoto into a trusted brand operating in 52 U.S. cities, completing over 40,000 rides, achieving 7-figure revenue in 2023, and reaching a valuation of $25 million.

Nelson emphasized the importance of "blueprints" in shaping Kidmoto’s foundation, revisiting and refining his plan consistently before taking action.Start small and focus on steady progress, as Kidmoto began in New York City, where Nelson tested and perfected the model before gradually expanding the service to 53 cities across the U.S.Resolve customer issues quickly and seek qualified advice, as Nelson learned the hard way when a refusal to issue a $75 refund—based on unqualified guidance—led to over $100,000 in lost business.Persevere with focus and execution, as Nelson worked up to 20-hour days to implement his vision step by step, comparing the process to following a mapped route that ensures consistent progress toward the goal.

    "You just have to start small. You creep, you crawl, you stand up, you balance. [Then you] start walking, [and eventually, you] start running.” — Nelson Nigel

Through a journey spanning marketing, UX, and leadership roles at tech companies like Tallie and SpringAhead, she’s meticulously constructed a diverse skill set built upon hands-on expertise and an unrelenting thirst for knowledge. Now, as the CEO of startup Aimably, she’s applying her unique superpowers to help businesses grow by spending smarter and dramatically reducing their cloud costs.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Claire Milligan discuss:

    Private equity’s role in transforming and growing companiesThe expanding financial responsibilities of CTOsCost reduction and financial efficiency in software companiesLeadership continuity through acquisitions and turnoverAligning operations with long-term financial objectives

    Key Takeaways:

    Private equity helps companies transition from good to great by rigorously assessing core operations, eliminating inefficiencies, and focusing on mission-driven growth.Successful CTOs in private equity contexts must adopt a financial mindset, overseeing budgets, cost management, and return on investment for technology spending.Evaluating every role within a team based on adaptability and alignment with evolving business priorities is essential for CTOs managing acquisitions.Companies preparing for potential acquisition can benefit from acting as though they are selling, which enhances operational efficiency and scalability.Cloud infrastructure spending can significantly impact profitability, so companies should regularly audit and optimize their cloud costs.

    "The whole goal of private equity is to take a good company and make it great by examining everything as an opportunity to stop, reset, re-evaluate, and make sure you’re not wasting time or resources on things that aren’t core to your values or mission, driving much more success out of the same core architecture.” — Claire Milligan

  • About Kerry Robinson:

    Growing up, Kerry Robinson wanted to be the Prime Minister or a CEO. Fortunately for the world of AI, his career path never led him to Downing Street. An Oxford-trained physicist with a Master's in Artificial Intelligence, Kerry excels in turning complex tech into practical business solutions. As VP of Conversational AI at Waterfield Tech, he puts his 20+ years of experience to work leading their R&D team, enhancing business interactions through advanced chatbot and voice strategies, and reshaping the way they connect with customers. Welcome to the brighter, smarter, stronger side of AI. Kerry may have arrived first, but he’s committed to fostering the innovation that allows others to join him.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Kerry Robinson discuss:

    AI leadership in business transformationAI’s role in streamlining customer serviceGenerative AI’s expanding capabilities and automationEthical challenges and bias in AI systemsThe future of AI from general intelligence to superintelligence

    Key Takeaways:

    Contact centers should focus on problem-solving, not just customer engagement – AI helps streamline customer service, reducing the need for human interaction by addressing root problems instead of just managing calls.AI can outperform humans in specific tasks – In fields like radiology, AI is already more effective than humans at detecting issues like breast cancer, raising questions about human-AI collaboration.Generative AI improves through continuous training and feedback – AI models, like those used in customer service, can analyze conversations, learn from mistakes, and optimize themselves for better performance.Bias in AI models is inevitable and influenced by human decisions – Generative AI systems, like ChatGPT, are shaped by the biases of their human trainers, which affects the objectivity of the results.

    "The most important human task we have is to ask the right questions and have really good discussions with each other about [AI].” — Kerry Robinson

  • About Dr. Chris Fuzie:

    Dr. Chris Fuzie, Ed.D., M.A.OL., is a leadership consultant, trainer, college professor, and author specializing in behavior-based leadership and followership dynamics. He holds a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership, along with a Master’s and Bachelor’s in the same field, blending academic insights with practical applications. With over 29 years in law enforcement, Dr. Fuzie has led various high-stakes teams and continues to apply his expertise to consulting and training organizations. His innovative concepts, including the Liminal Leadership Model, challenge traditional leadership paradigms by emphasizing the simultaneous roles of leader and follower.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dr. Chris Fuzie discuss:

    The convergence of leadership and followershipLiminal leadership and transitional rolesBehavioral consistency in organizationsDefining leadership at different organizational levelsEnsuring organizational consistency and performance

    Key Takeaways:

    Individuals frequently switch between leading and following, and success often requires balancing responsibilities to both superiors and subordinates.The key to successful leadership and followership is focusing on common, actionable behaviors like humility, integrity, and decisiveness, rather than fixating on formal roles.Organizations should focus on identifying specific, measurable behaviors that align with their goals, ensuring that these behaviors can be taught and evaluated across teams.Strategic leaders may focus on overarching traits like integrity, while mid-level managers and operational teams prioritize different sets of behaviors relevant to their tasks.By encouraging consistent behavior across all levels of the organization, companies can create a more unified culture and better performance outcomes.

    "It’s not an either-or...most people think you're either a leader or a follower. However, now we have situations where people are leading and following simultaneously.” — Dr. Chris Fuzie

  • About Robb Munger:

    Robb Munger, founder of Exodus Place, advocates for transitional housing for homeless men. With a finance background, Munger built a leading financial firm in manufactured housing before joining the board of Guiding Light Mission. There, he revitalized a struggling rescue mission and converted a former state corrections facility into Michigan’s largest non-governmental transitional housing.

    A former Army Officer, Munger’s dedication to service is evident in his philanthropic work and community development efforts. His collaboration with the Salvation Army and Goodwill in a small American town highlights an innovative approach to homelessness, demonstrating the impact of combining compassion with action. Under his leadership, this initiative showcases the power of collaborative community efforts in making a real difference.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Robb Munger discuss:

    Homelessness and its root causesThe impact of mindset shifts on life outcomesNonprofit leadership and social changeSupporting communities and social responsibilityBenefits of empathy in leadership

    Key Takeaways:

    Treating homeless individuals like employees, with responsibility and respect, can drastically reduce recidivism rates, as shown by Exodus Place’s drop from 45-50% to just 1%.The most significant factor in solving homelessness is addressing personal issues first, like mental health and addiction, rather than simply providing housing.Emotional intelligence and asking deeper, upstream questions can reveal underlying issues leading to homelessness, like trauma or addiction, which allows for more effective intervention.Building a supportive organizational culture focused on love, compassion, and accountability helps empower both the individuals being served and the staff or volunteers providing aid.

    "If you treat everybody as a person, as an individual, and you are with them when you are with them, it makes a big difference.” — Robb Munger

  • About Margie Oleson:

    Margie Oleson is an executive coach and leadership/team development expert with a doctorate in Organization Development. She delivers her coaching with practical strategies and actions for leaders and their leadership teams to build the right foundation for teamwork and productivity. Clients have included companies in most industries, such as Aeronautics, Agriculture, Financial Services, FinTech, Health Care, Higher Education, Insurance, Manufacturing, Medical Devices, Nonprofit, Retail, and more.

    Margie developed Top Team Accelerator, which helps senior leaders and their leadership teams build systems and habits for successful change and sustain improvements going forward. With an emphasis on the organization, Margie works with senior leaders and leadership teams to become cohesive, high-performing teams – which translates to high performance among their own teams.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Margie Oleson discuss:

    The gap between knowing and practicing leadershipTeam cohesion and communicationEnhancing meetings for better productivity and cultureLeadership's impact on company culture and performanceThe importance of openly discussing behaviors and accountability

    Key Takeaways:

    Leadership development is a company’s most important investment, as strong leaders drive success and influence everyone else in the organization.A lack of alignment in leadership teams creates silos, miscommunication, and dysfunction, which can be resolved by ensuring top teams share and communicate the same goals.Ineffective meetings waste resources and signal larger issues, but addressing root causes like politics, fear of missing out, and silos leads to a cultural and productivity shift.Leadership sets the tone for the organization; when senior leaders fail to model alignment and transparency, it trickles down, creating a culture of mediocrity and disengagement that stifles progress and innovation.

    "Culture is the outcome of how you're leading your decisions, the things you say, the things you don't say, and the things you reinforce.” — Margie Oleson

    Jeff Patterson, from Portland, OR, USA, has over 36 years of experience practicing and teaching meditative and martial arts. He is the founder of The Yielding Warrior and Northwest Fighting Arts/Portland Tai Chi Academy, where he emphasizes the transformative power of meditative and martial arts practices, particularly the concept of yielding. He has published two books and hundreds of instructional videos, created The Yielding Warrior online program, and has worked with thousands of students from around the world.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Jeff Patterson discuss:

    Managing stress through meditative practicesThe benefits of consistent meditation routinesIntegrating meditation and martial artsThe concept of yielding in physical and mental practicesWays to develop personalized meditation programs

    Key Takeaways:

    Developing a daily meditation routine, even for 20 minutes, can significantly improve mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall well-being.Yielding in both physical and mental contexts—like moving with an opponent's force in martial arts or adapting one's mindset during conflicts—allows for strategic and effective responses with minimal resistance.Incorporating active meditation, such as focusing on the breath, or performing mindful movements, reinforces a continuous state of mindfulness and enhances formal meditation sessions.Regular practice of meditation and martial arts deepens self-connection, improving physical coordination, empathy, creativity, and leadership skills.Applying the concept of 'yielding'—embracing physical, mental, and emotional flexibility—improves interpersonal dynamics, leading to better conflict resolution and harmonious interactions.

    "Meditation isn't meant to be a hobby we do once in a while. It's meant to be a way of life, and we want to try to integrate these practices into everything we do.” — Jeff Patterson

  • About Dan Tocchini:

    Dan Tocchini has been helping leaders bring some magic to their teams for over 35 years. He has worked with executive teams from Interstate Batteries and ESPN, to Smarty Pants Vitamins and Impulse Space, as well as with non-profits like Homeboy Industries and Defy Ventures. Dan gives a no-fluff approach by helping transform leadership teams without any pixie dust - just courageous leadership, creative conflict resolution, and relevant restructuring. No conversation is too difficult, and no situation too conflicted because a leader with a vision cannot be held hostage by circumstance or history.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dan Tocchini discuss:

    The impact of language, perception, and intuition on business cultures and crisesThe distinctions between wisdom and intuitionThe training of the mind for better leadershipThe transformative journey from victimization to empowermentThe responsibility of leaders to inspire and support their teams through challenges and the necessary paradigm shifts for meaningful change

    Key Takeaways:

    Language and perception significantly shape decision-making, highlighting the transformative influence a well-crafted vision has on leadership effectiveness.Valuing intuitive thinking alongside analytical reasoning becomes increasingly important, particularly in crisis situations where conventional logic might fall short.Understanding the nuances between wisdom and intuition is imperative for leaders, as this insight guides executive decisions and strategic direction.Intuition enhancement within an organization's leadership can be achieved through specialized training that focuses on conflict monitoring, emotional processing, and bodily awareness, leading to more adept and conscious decision-making.Personal accountability and facing one's challenges are vital steps in leadership development, with a focus on embracing subconscious reactions and harnessing the power of language to transform present behavior and inspire team motivation.
