Execution is where things break. Adam Josephs has spent more than two decades stepping into high-stakes environments where delivery matters, post-merger integrations, AI transformations, and critical growth initiatives, and making execution predictable. Adam is the creator of Risk Up Front®, a disciplined execution framework adopted by organizations like Goldman Sachs, Lam Research, and NeoPhotonics, and now taught at Dartmouth Engineering. His work focuses on engineering clarity, surfacing risk early, and installing operating rhythms that help teams move faster without burning out. In this episode, we’ll explore why most execution failures are avoidable, how leaders miss risk signals until it’s too late, and what consulting firm owners can learn from enterprise-grade execution systems to improve delivery, credibility, and growth. **********************************************************Proposed Interview Structure: 1. What originally pulled you into consulting and execution work, especially in high-stakes environments? 2. What is the core execution problem you see leaders struggling with today, and why does it matter so much to you? 3.

Current Acquisition Channels: Referral Sub Question: What’s your view on podcasting as a marketing tool for consultants and advisors working with senior leaders? 5. Your work often involves long sales cycles and high trust, how do you help prospects move from interest to commitment? 6.

Where do you find yourself most stuck right now in your own consulting business, if at all? 8.

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in Leading From All Sides Abbie Mirata Discover the various styles of leadership, from leading at the forefront to steering from behind, rising to the top or empowering from the bottom. We'll explore horizontal and vertical leadership, leading through your brand, and even leading in your most intimate relationships. Join me in engaging conversations with special guests who are leaders in their careers, communities, and families. Gain insights, perspectives, and invaluable lessons that challenge traditional notions of what it means to lead. Take the Leap Colleen Biggs When was the last time you took a leap of faith trusting that everything is going to work out? Do you crave growth, or are you merely content with the status quo? If you want more out of your life, out of your career, and out of your relationships, you are in the right place. It's time for you to step into the Spotlight to expand your influence and attract the right clients. Your Host, Colleen Biggs, will expose the actions you need to take, through the experiences and interviews of our guests, so you no longer are sitting on the sidelines, but that you are finally taking an active role in defining the design of your life rather than living it by default. We will be interviewing elite leaders that will share their greatest regrets, successes, and how they did it! Week after week you will learn all about how you too can take the leap of faith, trust in yourself and stop living a life only by default.
