Carrie is the founder of BRA – Business Relationship Alliance, a network of powerful women devoted to advancing female-owned businesses by providing the community, collaboration, mentorship, empowerment and support needed to flourish as an entrepreneur.

Carrie set out to create a community where the key factor was the advancement of female entrepreneurs (at all levels) and built its foundation on three fundamental core values: 1. Collaboration over competition; 2. Commitment to each other as professionals and to hire within their network first; and 3. Advance women as experts in business through educational opportunities. In doing that, she also created a community where women could be viewed as valuable while still feeling comfortable being vulnerable. Once she hit 100 members she left running the school to focus on BRA full time.

Carrie is also an active philanthropist donating both anonymously and publicly to organizations like Dress for Success, a nonprofit organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence, and WeSpark, which provides cancer treatment centers in Los Angeles. She still loyally drives her two kids to school every day and lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Sean Murray, from CBS’ hit show, NCIS.

In this "Lessons" episode, Dr. Steven G. Rogelberg, Chancellor’s Professor at UNC Charlotte and author of The Surprising Science of Meetings, explores how ineffective meeting habits are eroding organizational culture and causing disengagement among top talent. Learn how to transform meetings into valuable tools for innovation, collaboration, and productivity.

The Hidden Costs of Bad Meetings: Dr. Rogelberg explains how poorly structured meetings lead to disengaged employees, increased rework, and talent attrition. He highlights research showing that organizations prioritizing effective meetings see increased innovation and profitability, proving that meetings can be a source of gain rather than drain.

Intentionality as the Foundation for Success: A lack of deliberate planning often leads to meetings that waste time and energy.

Embracing Technology Risks: Will highlights the importance of taking bold technology risks to innovate and reduce strategic risks.

He shares how he learned to embrace negative feedback and differing perspectives. Over time, he realized the importance of collaboration, iteration, and being open to debate to strengthen both the company and his leadership skills.

Charlie Feng is the co-founder of Clearco. The work he does behind the scenes has helped his fintech company scale from three founders to almost 1,000 employees, and raise over $300M at a $2B+ valuation. 

Clearco is one of the top startups in Canada, a fintech company that uses AI to democratize access to capital.

His strategy has been earning dividends: the company’s headcount has more than doubled since the start of the year and is still growing. Clearco was just named #2 on LinkedIn’s Top Startups Canada, which looks at the ability to attract top talent--it’s the company’s third year in a row in the top three. Earlier this year, Clearco raised $215 million from SoftBank Vision Fund II, just weeks after a $100 million Series C round that quintupled its valuation to $2 billion.

This episode of "Success Story: Lessons" features entrepreneur Elena Cardone, a leading voice dedicated to empowering women in business. Beginning with the unique launch of her platform 10X Ladies, Elena has built an inspirational community supporting women's professional growth. Throughout our discussion, she shares her mission to uplift women, offering practical insights that will resonate with aspiring and established female entrepreneurs alike.

• Balancing Business and Family: Elena emphasizes that with the right partner, women can accelerate their success and build a business while raising a family. It requires letting go of the notion that it will be easy, and focusing on creative solutions.

• The Importance of Community: Elena describes how 10X Ladies provides a supportive community for like-minded women to hold each other accountable. Women supporting and showing interest in each other's success is key.

• Acquiring Business Know-How: Many women lack the confidence, knowledge, or resources to start a business. Elena stresses the need to learn sales, marketing, finances - the skills required to prove the business model.

• Developing Relationships and Influence: Elena notes that no empire is built alone. Developing relationships expands reach and capabilities. Influence is about impacting others' behavior and decisions.

• Victim Mindset vs. Self-Enhancement: Rather than focus on discrimination and obstacles, Elena advocates enhancing skills to compete at the highest levels. Become invaluable through the value you provide.

• Owning Your Power: True power is the capacity to influence others' behavior. Elena urges women to own their power to create meaningful change from their families to the world.

In this "Lessons" episode, Steve Hoffman shares key insights for aspiring entrepreneurs and startup founders. He emphasizes the importance of team-building over the perfect idea, and how attracting top talent is essential for scaling a business. Steve also provides guidance on managing difficult team dynamics, knowing when to cut underperforming employees, and navigating the early challenges of startup leadership.

Focus on Team Over Idea: Steve advises entrepreneurs to prioritize building a strong, skilled team over obsessing about the perfect startup idea. The idea will likely evolve, but having the right team is critical for long-term success.

Attracting Talent Without Resources: Learn how to recruit top talent even when you can’t offer high salaries. Steve stresses the importance of leadership, vision, and engagement in getting people to buy into your mission and work for equity.

Cutting Dead Weight: Steve shares the tough reality of managing team members who underperform. In a startup, you can't afford dead weight—cut underperformers early, even if it's difficult, to maintain momentum and morale.

➡️ About The Guest⁣

From her start as a Playboy Centerfold and Covergirl to her life as a Screen Actors’ Guild member and then a top-rated insurance industry professional, Deborah Driggs has had to clear many hurdles in life to make these things happen. And while it may seem like Deborah’s success came easy to her, nothing could be further from the truth. Rather, she’s overcome a number of challenges in her life to get to where she is today but what is true, and a part of her character is her willingness to take risks, maintain a positive attitude, and never take ‘no’ for an answer.

Deborah’s transition into the insurance world started off in the same vein – with a challenge to herself. By the end of her first year, she was a top producer, followed by ongoing years of membership in the Million Dollar Roundtable, Top of the Table, and as a contributing member in Leadership for Advanced Life Underwriting (AALU). 

Deborah’s clients have included movie studio moguls, celebrities, Fortune 500 leaders, and high net-worth individuals. Over the past two decades, she has lent her support to a number of nonprofits that make a difference in people’s lives, including Richard Branson’s Virgin Unite, Go Campaign, Operation Underground Railroad (#OURrescue), Cut50, Reform Alliance with Van Jones and in funding a school in Peru.

➡️ About The Guest⁣

J.R. Martinez is a bestselling author, motivational speaker, advocate, wounded U.S. Army veteran, and actor who has been featured on All My Children, Dancing with the Stars, SAF3, and more.

While deployed to Iraq, J.R. hit a roadside bomb while driving and became trapped in his burning vehicle. He suffered smoke inhalation, and severe burns, and had to undergo 34 different surgeries, including skin grafts and cosmetic surgery, in the years following his injury. During his recovery, after a brief visit with another burn patient, J.R. realized that he'd made a positive impact on this individual and decided to use his own experiences to help others. He continued to visit patients every day, sharing his story and listening to theirs. He learned that inspiration is often a two-way street.

A highly sought-after motivational speaker, Martinez travels the world spreading his message of resilience and optimism. He has spoken to troops at various bases around the world, as well as to groups such as the Clinton Global Initiative, the Red Cross, and dozens of universities, non-profits, and Fortune 500 companies. His New York Times bestselling memoir, Full of Heart: My Story of Survival, Strength and Spirit, details how he was able to take his personal tragedy and turn it into an inspiration for others, a message he also brings to worldwide organizations. His story is unique, but his message is universal: your path in life is decided by your own ability to adapt and overcome.

Robin Hanson is an associate professor of economics at George Mason University and a research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University. He has a doctorate in social science, master's degrees in physics and philosophy, and nine years of experience as a research programmer in artificial intelligence and Bayesian statistics.

With over 3100 citations and sixty academic publications, he's recognized not only for his contributions to economics (especially, pioneering the theory and use of prediction markets), but also for the wide range of fields in which he's been published. He is the author of The Age of Em: Work, Love, and Life when Robots Rule the Earth.

Robin has strong and controversial views (backed by his research) regarding various institutions in society, and discusses how many routine activities we take for granted, carry hidden motives based on the evolution of ourselves and our society. Some of the points we touch on are items such as, how charities don’t really exist to help others, our schools don’t really exist to educate students, and our political expression isn’t actually about choosing wise policies.

In this “Lessons” episode, we explore the groundbreaking approach to sales pioneered by Ari Galper, Founder & CEO of Unlock The Game. Ari redefines traditional sales methods, focusing on trust-building and genuine human connection. He challenges the outdated techniques of follow-ups and pressure-driven tactics, teaching how to foster deeper conversations that can lead to a one-call close. 

Building Trust on a Cold Call: Ari reveals how the typical sales introduction—rushed and impersonal—kills the deal from the start. By simply asking for help and engaging the prospect in a two-way dialogue, salespeople can break the stereotype and establish trust right from the first interaction. It’s about removing the pressure and focusing on genuine connection rather than the sale.

The Power of a Mindset Shift: Traditional sales often focus on pushing the deal forward. Ari challenges this approach, urging salespeople to instead seek the truth and trust in whether they can help the prospect. By being present and creating a "bubble of vulnerability," salespeople can build deeper connections that lead to higher conversions.

The One-Call Close: Ari introduces his one-call sale system, which eliminates the need for multiple steps and follow-ups. By building enough trust during the first conversation, salespeople can close deals in one call, provided the prospect is qualified. This approach shortens sales cycles by addressing the real issue—lack of trust early in the process.

If somebody asked you, “Who owns your house?” you would probably say, “I do.” If they asked you, “Who owns your car?” you would say, “I do.”

But who owns you?

It’s a simple question at face value. We’re all about body autonomy in 2022, and most people would say that, of course, they own themselves. But what does that mean? What does it entail?

In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, ‘we’ are no longer just flesh and bone. Our identities are intertwined with terabytes of data: our social media profiles, our search engine habits, our digital possessions.

The food we order on Uber Eats, the books we borrow from Amazon, the music we stream on Spotify — all of it is collected and collated by corporations and governments in order to create a comprehensive profile of our likes, dislikes, and interests.

This data is incredibly valuable. Facebook, Google, and other tech giants make billions of dollars every year by selling access to our personal data. Governments are also interested in collecting and collating our data, often for nefarious reasons. In the UK, for example, the government was caught illegally collecting citizens’ Facebook data in order to target them with political ads.

So who owns this data? And what exactly can they do with it?
