I could not be more excited to be back at William & Mary this Wednesday (2/21) to share & discuss experimentation. When you're trying something new you can de-risk it by running experiments; freeing yourself up from having to "be right" - you just listen & run a great experiment. I'm so inspired that Katherine Rowe has made a commitment to including entrepreneurial thinking as a key skill for students to gain & to the W&M Entrepreneurship Hub for playing a critical role for our community. Looking forward to the conversation! #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurship #experimentation

Woohoo! #LSIUSA24 is in the books. Another fantastic event that I want to reflect on: 1. The keynote from Dr. Catherine Mohr was fantastic. Post-event I’ve listened to her keynote twice now. Her focus on using data to identify wicked problems was fascinating. Her time spent speaking to the importance of exponentially scaling skill-based training was great too. If you haven't already, give her address a listen and think about the impact that tackling these types of wicked problems will yield. 2. This year, I experienced the event from the perspective of a service provider. It was great getting to talk with future market intel customers about the diverse ways in which we can further support the medtech ecosystem beyond LSI’s partnering events. Kudos to all the service providers out there. I've a newfound appreciation for what you do. When the focus of the event is cultivating strategic partnerships and connecting with potential investors, you’re offering solutions that enhance the fruitfulness of those conversations around raising capital and building innovative companies. I appreciate Zach Labrecque’s leadership and adaptability when it came to the 25+ meetings we tackled throughout the event. I loved the LSI Market Intelligence business pod. The space created a lot of organic opportunities to evangelize because so many people thought that the “Reserved” sign must have been for them. 😉 3. Shout out to the LSI bizdev team. They did an incredible job identifying new innovators and bringing them to the LSI stage. As the person responsible for categorizing and briefly describing the 300+ presenters at this event, I was pleasantly surprised to learn about so many companies that I’ve never heard of. I also want to congratulate Scott Pantel, Henry Peck and the entire events team for putting on an incredible meeting. As always, great to see so many familiar faces and meet new ones. Hope to do it again very soon. P.S. Shoutout to the real ones who were grinding it at the gym at 5AM every day. Bhavesh Barot, Karen Cross, and others. It’s great to see people making time amidst everything going on at the event to get a good pump session going. 💪

This week has been nothing short of insane. I mean, truly insane. When you’re in the thick of it, it can feel like nothing is moving forward. But as I sit here on Friday, it's truly remarkable to look back at what my team has accomplished in just five short days. Explaining the breadth of the work we do for clients can be challenging because, frankly, it's a lot. So, I thought I'd share a glimpse into a typical week at Clearstart, showcasing some of the efforts that made it out the door: 1. We spearheaded the announcement of Chamber Cardio's recent $8M fundraise, resulting in additional buzz and excitement throughout a very noisy industry. 2. We hustled through a brand sprint for LogiCall Health, finally giving them the facelift they deserve, just in time for an upcoming conference. (Stay tuned to witness the transformation!) 3. We're presenting some final messaging for a new client of ours (formal announcement to come), giving them the foundation they need to slay their sales and acquisition goals. 4. After weeks of revisions, we perfected a sales deck for Credo , ensuring their sales team has a compelling tool to attract new partners to their platform. 5. We took the reins on all digital and traditional marketing for Rural Healthcare Group (RHG)'s clinics, implementing new strategies to drive new patient acquisition. 6. We hit the ground running with Zeteo Health, revamping their pitch decks, sales collateral, and initial landing page ahead of their official launch (stay tuned!!). 7. We crafted a custom game board for Avestor, which will be unveiled at an upcoming conference, guaranteeing they'll stand out and leave a lasting impression on their target audience. (And it's a seriously cool and fun game, especially if you're into investing.) 8. We FINALLY started building Clear Start Creative's new website and planning out my own content, set to go live in April. Finally practicing what I preach! (Stay tuned for more!) I know I'm probably leaving out a ton, but these were the major highlights of the week that left me feeling energized by the impactful work we do each day. It's chaotic. It's stressful. But damn, is it rewarding when it all comes together in the end.

I’m in Boston, but I’m not going to the Celtics game tonight. I’ve been at a Rebate conference, and I have some thoughts. A contact in the industry who I saw here asked me why I decided to come to this, and what I hoped to learn. I came because my mid-market and enterprise distribution clients at ProfitOptics, LLC see me as a consultant: they bring me their tough problems, and expect solutions. To understand the landscape and know how to best serve my clients, I’ve been at the Catalyze by Enable conference. While here, I’ve really enjoyed getting to meet strategists and practitioners from across the industry, and meeting the Enable team. From presentations, conversations, and realizations - here are some top of mind thoughts: 1. Business happens at the speed of your trading partners 🤝 The future of business is partnered. There will be increasingly powerful ways for Distributors nd suppliers to find ways to truly partner to drive value for end customers. And technology will empower this. 2. There is a magnetic pull to the status quo 🧲 Dirk Beveridge talked about the big ideas that you leave conferences like this with, but that there is a natural pull to maintain the status quo. If we want to enact change, we need to acknowledge interia, and stay committed to the course. (Hint: it’s easier if you bring teammates along) 3. In software it’s powerful to hear feedback, promise features, and then deliver them 💻 I see too often how software overpromises and underperforms. Engaging with product teams and experiencing firsthand demos underscored a simple truth: the power of technology is fully unleashed when we talk to the users of our software, make commitments, and then deliver diligently. It's a cycle of trust and execution that turns good tech into great solutions. And results will show up in the bottom-line. 4. “Agent Overseer” as a competitive advantage is here 🤖 This thought is from a panel from various Silicon Valley VCs who are investing in technology and organizations, and are looking at the likelihood of scale with Agents, and the ability of an organization to scale with AI agents and automation. This is already happening, and will continue to grow. And finally…. 5. The magic in my field happens at the intersection of domain expertise and technology ♾️ I have friends who are excellent technologists, but do not know Distribution. I know distributors who do well, but could do better with technology. The best results come when there is a strong connection and understanding between these two. And that’s where I am. We’re doing a lot with this intersection - but more is coming. —— It’s been a great experience, and there are more coming - the conference finishes this afternoon. Thanks to the Enable team for the invitation here. And of course, always fun to hang with Tony; even if we spend 20 minutes walking back to the hotel in the rain.

As I sit on my flight back from the Carson Spring Conference, I find myself in a rare moment of reflection. Full transparency—I'm not typically a conference person. The thought alone usually has me feeling super restless. But, if you ever have the privilege to attend a Carson event, you'll immediately understand why this one is different. From A to Z, the talent on display is nothing short of incredible. It's not just about the top 1% of advisors who align with excellence; it's the whole "full Monty," full stop. Our collective community values are woven into every aspect of the event, centering on a singular question: How do we best serve and innovate for our clients? I'm thrilled to share with the families we serve that we're bringing back not just industry-leading solutions, but cutting-edge innovations that redefine what's possible. Stay tuned as we roll out these exciting developments. #Innovation #ClientFirst #CarsonConference #IndustryLeaders #CuttingEdge #FinancialAdvisory

70% of executive leaders are thinking about quitting. That’s an alarming number! It’s revealing of so many issues: trust, satisfaction, and workload are top of mind. I think we can, if we aren’t careful, build businesses that end up running us, rather than us running them. Join us at the elevate conference: Greater Tacoma Convention Center Sept 16-17 Where we will be navigating the path to success. This is for owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders and their teams. Let’s connect, grow, and encourage each other in a better way! See you there 😊
