Send us Fan Mail Graduation rates can look healthy while real skills quietly erode, and the NAEP “below basic” numbers make that hard to ignore. We sit down with Ed and George to ask a blunt question: how did a country that once built the best educated workforce in the world drift into producing “technopeasants” who are surrounded by technology but struggle with reading, math, writing, and problem solving? We connect the dots between education policy incentives, classroom reality, and workfo...
Send us Fan Mail Busy doesn’t mean profitable, and “we sold a ton” doesn’t pay the bills. We’re joined by John Dowling, author of Service by the Boxes, to unpack why so many equipment dealerships grind through full shop schedules, nonstop parts traffic, and big whole-goods numbers, then look up at year-end and wonder where the money went. John’s blunt diagnosis is an “invisible threat” problem: leaders often believe they’re in the equipment business, when the real mission is profit and cash f...

We connect K-12 education to employee training and leadership development through a simple idea:...
Send us Fan Mail Profit talk usually gets framed as cold math, but we’ve learned it’s often the fastest way to uncover what a business truly values.

We pull apart why leaders keep funding sunk costs, how waste hides inside reports no one reads and systems no one us...
Send us Fan Mail If your sales plan still depends on a rep’s memory and a “black book,” you’re not just risking missed deals, you’re building randomness into your margins. We sit down with Nick Mavrick to make the case for a more disciplined approach: give salespeople a vetted weekly list of buyers with a real probability of action, then run that list through a measurable, closed loop sales funnel. When the inputs get better, the outcomes stop being luck. We dig into the math behind pr...
