"In an undifferentiated category, many agencies look and sound the same, which leads to a price-focused negotiation - a race to the bottom where procurement looks at who can do the work the cheapest."

"Money is the energy of appreciation."
I jotted down that quote as soon as Julie Foucht spoke the words, and there are so many more nuggets of wisdom you just have to hear.
I got to chat with Julie about a topic not many people (especially CEOs) talk about: money. But it went way deeper than dollar signs. Julie went on to share how she believes intuition, feminine power, and money are connected.

"Tech serves humans, not the other way around."
Words from the brilliant Nadio Granata, although I'd add: "For the time being!"
This episode has got to be the most re-scheduled podcast ever, thanks to myself and Nadio's busy schedules. But the wait was worth it - what a conversation. I hope you learn as much as I did listening to Nadio share his insights.
In this episode, we...
"If you're not out there getting clients before you have a product, you're already dead."

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
