  • Your Team Isn't the Problem — The System Is | Thanos Diacakis

    Your Team Isn't the Problem — The System Is | Thanos Diacakis
    2026/05/01
    Your team isn't the problem. The system around them is — and most business owners never see it until it's already costing them clients, cash, and good people.

    Thanos Diacakis has spent 25 years inside software teams at companies like Uber, scaling from zero to 2M+ monthly trips. What he found everywhere, from scrappy startups to global organizations, is the same pattern repeating: smart teams trapped in broken systems, doing half of what they should, just not the same half. He now coaches business owners and their teams to ship faster, reduce burnout, and build the kind of operational clarity that turns a stressed team into a competitive advantage.

    In this episode, David Carr and Thanos break down why the business-to-engineering interface is where most delivery problems actually start and what leaders can do about it this week. In this episode:
    • Why the breakdown between business and engineering is the root of most delivery problems, not the people
    • How starting too many things at once kills momentum, and what to do instead
    • The flow framework: balancing features, defects, investments, and technical risk
    • Why cross-functional teams eliminate the handoff bottlenecks slowing your delivery
    • The counter-intuitive truth about planning: execute first, earn the right to plan later
    • Two things any leader can do this week to start moving the needle
    About Thanos Diacakis: Thanos is a Software Engineering Effectiveness Coach and founder of Cosmic Teacups, Inc. With 25+ years of scaling engineering teams, including as Technical Lead for Bikes & Scooters at Uber, he now helps business owners fix the systems that keep good teams stuck. Organizational health isn't just a people problem; it's a systems problem. That's the work we do at Steward Your Business. If this episode hit close to home, share it with the one person on your team you've been meaning to have a hard conversation with.

  • Why Most Marketing Fails and How Performance Marketing Actually Drives Revenue | Stephanie Curtis

    Why Most Marketing Fails and How Performance Marketing Actually Drives Revenue | Stephanie Curtis
    2026/04/30
    Why does so much marketing activity fail to generate real revenue? In this episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David Carr sits down with Stephanie Curtis, founder of Pace Creative and an experienced fractional Chief Marketing Officer, to unpack why many businesses struggle to see ROI from marketing — and how performance-driven strategy changes everything.

    Stephanie brings nearly two decades of experience working with highly technical, regulated, and complex B2B organizations, including Fortune 500 companies and seven- and eight-figure manufacturing, engineering, and industrial firms. She explains the critical differences between creative marketing, corporate marketing, product marketing, and performance marketing — and why confusing these roles leads to wasted spend and missed growth opportunities.

    This conversation explores how leaders can move beyond vanity metrics and shiny objects by aligning marketing directly with business goals, sales cycles, and measurable outcomes.

    Stephanie shares how she approaches her role as a fractional CMO, why strategy must come before execution, and how focused channel selection, consistent messaging, and data-driven decision-making create sustainable revenue engines. If you’re a CEO, founder, or executive leading a B2B organization and frustrated by marketing that “looks good” but doesn’t perform, this episode provides clarity, structure, and a smarter way forward. In this episode:
    • Why most marketing efforts fail to deliver ROI
    • The difference between creative, corporate, product, and performance marketing
    • How to align marketing strategy with business and sales goals
    • Why fewer channels — executed well — outperform scattered tactics
    • What executives should expect from a fractional CMO
    • How data, metrics, and consistency drive long-term growth

  • Fear Isn’t the Problem—It’s the Signal | Jacqueline Wales on Fear Intelligence & Leadership

    Fear Isn’t the Problem—It’s the Signal | Jacqueline Wales on Fear Intelligence & Leadership
    2026/04/16
    What if fear isn’t holding you back—but quietly shaping every decision you make as a leader?

    In this episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, David Carr sits down with Jacqueline Wales, creator of the Fear Intelligence™ framework, to explore how fear operates beneath the surface of leadership, communication, and business growth.

    Most leaders assume their challenges are rooted in strategy, execution, or people. But as Jacqueline explains, those are often symptoms of something deeper. Fear—unexamined and unspoken—can drive hesitation, control, misalignment, and breakdowns in trust across organizations.

    Drawing from decades of experience coaching executives and working with leadership teams around the world, Jacqueline introduces a different way to understand fear—not as something to eliminate, but as a signal to interpret.

    At the center of this conversation is her F.E.A.R. framework: Face, Explore, Act, Rise. A practical model that helps leaders move from reaction to intention, from avoidance to clarity, and from control to trust. This episode is not about removing fear.

    It’s about learning how to lead with it. If you are a business owner, executive, or leader navigating growth, uncertainty, or pressure, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership—and what may actually be driving your decisions. In this episode, we explore:
    • Why fear is often misdiagnosed in leadership
    • How self-identity influences decision-making and performance
    • The connection between fear, control, and trust in teams
    • Why many leaders avoid the deeper question of “Who am I?”
    • How to shift from reactive leadership to intentional leadership
    • Practical ways to begin recognizing fear patterns in yourself and others
    About Jacqueline Wales: Jacqueline Wales is a TEDx speaker, author, and founder of Fear Intelligence™, a framework designed to help leaders turn fear into clarity, trust, and decisive action. Her work focuses on helping executives build psychological safety, improve communication, and create high-performing cultures grounded in trust and self-awareness.
