Cox works at the intersection of strategy and execution, where most businesses get stuck. Through his firm, 40 Strategy, he helps CEOs move beyond vague planning and build actionable strategic frameworks that actually drive growth, profitability, and alignment. What stands out in Carl’s approach is his focus on strategic capacity, the ability of a business to execute consistently, not just plan ambitiously. His CAPTAIN strategy framework and sprint-based execution model are designed to close the gap between intention and results, something most consulting clients struggle with. He also brings a unique perspective as both a consultant and a podcast host. Having built a top-ranked business podcast, Carl understands how long-term relationships, trust, and value creation compound over time, a lesson many consultants overlook when chasing short-term wins.**********************************************************************Proposed Interview Questions: 1.
