  • Why Trustworthiness Is the Most Underrated Asset in Business with Eric Ries

    Why Trustworthiness Is the Most Underrated Asset in Business with Eric Ries
    2026/05/26
    What if the very success of your company is what eventually destroys it? Eric Ries, the mind behind the Lean Startup movement, is back with a warning every founder, leader, and employee needs to hear. In his new book Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great, Eric tackles the question he admits he failed to answer the first time around: once you build something worth protecting, how do you actually protect it? In this conversation with host Brandon Laws, Eric unpacks the invisible force he calls "financial gravity," the systemic pull that quietly bends companies away from their mission. You'll hear the jaw-dropping story of Saul Price (the man Sam Walton credited as the father of modern retail), the real reason Costco still sells a hot dog and soda for $1.50, and why protecting your company's values is always "too early," until suddenly it's too late. If you care about building a business that means something, this episode is essential listening.

  • What a Productivity Company's People Strategy Can Teach the Rest of Us with Mandy Mekhail

    What a Productivity Company's People Strategy Can Teach the Rest of Us with Mandy Mekhail
    2026/05/19
    What does it take to build a thriving, high-performance culture inside one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the world, without ever requiring a college degree to get in the door? Mandy Mekhail, Chief of Staff of People at ClickUp, went from teaching in a classroom to leading the people function at a 1,200-person global company, and her journey is anything but conventional. In this episode, Mandy pulls back the curtain on ClickUp's non-traditional hiring philosophy, their obsession with onboarding excellence, and how they're turning AI agents into literal coworkers on the org chart. Whether you're an HR professional, a people leader, or simply curious about where work is headed, this conversation will challenge the way you think about hiring, culture, and the role of AI in your organization. Don't miss it. Key Timestamps [00:00:00] — Introduction: Mandy's Unconventional Path to People Leadership From educator to customer support to Chief of Staff of People at ClickUp, Mandy shares the leap of faith that started it all and the mindset that carried her through. [00:03:00] — Joining ClickUp at Employee #110 Mandy reflects on what it was like to join ClickUp when it had fewer than 100 functional employees and what it's meant to watch it scale to 1,200 people globally. [00:04:00] — The Role That Shaped Everything: Building the Quality Team Six months into ClickUp, Mandy was tasked with building the customer support quality function — and it became the role that fused her education background with her passion for people impact. [00:05:00] — Recruiting Power Users: ClickUp's Unconventional Hiring Strategy Forget job boards. ClickUp finds top talent by recruiting passionate product users from online forums and communities — and it's still a core part of their strategy today. [00:07:00] — Why ClickUp Dropped the Degree Requirement From Day One CEO Zeb Evans made a deliberate call early on: if a bachelor's degree isn't the real signal of capability, don't require it. Mandy explains how skills, integrity, and passion took its place. [00:09:00] — The Interview Question That Reveals Everything One question ClickUp asks every candidate regardless of role: "Give me an example of when you showed fortitude." Mandy explains why resilience is the great equalizer in hiring. [00:10:00] — Onboarding 500 Employees with a 99% KPI Success Rate Within 90 Days Mandy breaks down the layered, outcome-first onboarding framework that got new hires fully productive in weeks — by embedding them in the product from day one. [00:13:00] — Maintaining Culture Across Time Zones, Countries, and Hub Offices With teams spanning San Diego, Dublin, Sydney, Manila, and beyond, Mandy shares how a shared mission and core values become the unifying force across global subcultures. [00:15:00] — Preventing Burnout in a High-Growth, Fast-Shipping Environment High expectations don't have to mean burnout. Mandy explains why clear communication and respectful manager relationships are the real guardrails — not just PTO policies. [00:17:00] — Practical Boundaries in a Always-On World Mandy shares her personal rule: the ClickUp mobile app gets turned off at 5 PM. A small habit with a big message about modeling the boundaries you want your team to keep. [00:18:00] — Inclusion at Scale: How ClickUp Runs Global All-Hands Meetings Rotating time zones, recorded sessions, and a commitment to giving every employee the opportunity to attend live — Mandy breaks down what operational inclusion actually looks like. [00:19:00] — Why Every Single Communication at ClickUp Lives Inside ClickUp No side channels. No email threads. Every conversation, every message, every decision — all in ClickUp. Here's why that radical commitment powers both inclusion and AI at scale. [00:22:00] — The AI Agent Hour: One Hour a Week That's Changing Everything ClickUp gives employees one dedicated hour per week to play with AI Super Agents — no agenda, no expectations. Mandy explains how this structured playtime is dismantling fear and unlocking innovation. [00:27:00] — Advice for HR Leaders Who Are Afraid of AI Mandy's message to people leaders sitting on the fence: don't let your own fear set the tone for the rest of your organization. Start by understanding it yourself — and lean into your compliance and legal superpowers along the way. [00:29:00] — Where AI Has Made the Biggest Impact in the People Function Tier-one operational tasks are the obvious win, but Mandy points to something most HR teams are still missing: using AI for sentiment analysis of HR processes — and why that's the next frontier. [00:31:00] — AI as a Multiplier, Not a Replacement On the noise around AI layoffs, Mandy is clear: ClickUp treats AI agents as coworkers, not substitutes. They even appear on the org chart with the same data architecture as human employees. [00:33:00] — 5,000 AI Agents for 1,200 Employees Inside ClickUp's internal "...

  • How Small Companies Beat the Giants Now

    How Small Companies Beat the Giants Now
    2026/05/12
    If you think AI is just another productivity tool your business can bolt on to stay ahead, Shawn Busse has a wake-up call for you. In this riveting conversation, Brandon Laws sits down with Shawn Busse, founder of marketing firm Kinesis, keynote speaker, and one of the sharpest strategic thinkers in the business world, to unpack a truth that most leaders aren't ready to hear: AI isn't going to save companies that have optimized the creativity out of themselves. Shawn draws on provocative ideas from "The Great Rotation" by Latticework, Kent Beck's explore-expand-extract model, and Blue Ocean Strategy to build a compelling case that decades of Wall Street-driven optimization have left businesses intellectually hollowed out, right at the moment when original thinking matters most. From the collapse of "AI slop" content marketing to the resurgence of the physical, tactile "3D world," this episode is packed with ideas that will challenge how you think about your organization, your people, and your competitive future. Key Timestamps [00:01] Welcome and Introduction Brandon introduces Shawn Busse and the central thesis of the episode: AI is not going to save uncreative, non-innovative companies. [01:20] "The Great Rotation": AI and the Supply Shock in the Digital World Shawn unpacks the Latticework article that crystallized his thinking: how AI has turbocharged oversupply in the 2D digital world and why the 3D, tangible world is where value is shifting next. [04:52] The Rise of "AI Slop" and Why Playing the Volume Game Is a Losing Strategy The conversation turns to how AI-generated content floods channels with "halfway decent" material, and why competing on volume alone is a dead end for businesses. [07:00] Real-World AI Use Cases: Bookkeeping, Contracts, and Appraisals Shawn shares his own eye-opening experiences using AI to replace a $700 bookkeeping task and to expose critical flaws in a real estate appraisal at zero cost, illustrating how AI is moving up market one low-risk task at a time. [11:34] Business Is in a Crisis of Creativity Shawn delivers his TED talk moment: how 40+ years of Wall Street-driven optimization has squeezed creativity out of corporate America, and how AI is now wiping out the very jobs that optimization produced. [13:00] The ADP Effect: When Profit Becomes the Enemy of Innovation Using ADP as a case study, Shawn examines how large companies generate extraordinary profit margins while actively cutting employees and delivering diminishing value, and what that signals for the future. [19:31] The Subscription Trap: How Innovation Gave Way to Lock-In From HP printers to Adobe to Google, Shawn traces the arc of once-great innovators who traded breakthrough products for recurring revenue extraction, and why AI may finally break those lock-ins. [22:43] Kent Beck's Model: Explore, Expand, Extract, and What Comes Next Shawn walks through Kent Beck's framework for understanding business lifecycles and makes the case that AI's real opportunity isn't labor replacement; it's unlocking entirely new ways to create value. [24:40] A Live Example: Using AI to Transform LinkedIn Marketing Strategy Shawn shares a compelling real client story, using AI to analyze a year's worth of LinkedIn data across 18 employees, and the surprising insights about storytelling that emerged with zero expensive subscriptions required. [28:48] 10% GDP Growth and 10% Unemployment: Weighing Dario Amodei's Prediction Brandon raises the Anthropic CEO's striking economic forecast. Shawn offers a grounded, honest take: respect the prediction, don't panic, but don't ignore it either. [31:43] From Skeptic to Believer: Shawn's Own AI Journey Shawn reflects on how he went from dismissing AI as Silicon Valley hype to making it a core part of his strategic worldview, and why maintaining a beginner's mind is harder than it sounds. [33:07] The Opportunity for Small Business: Where Small Can Beat Big Why the democratization of software through AI could give small and mid-sized businesses their best competitive opportunity in decades, if they're willing to think creatively. [35:02] The Digital Rejection Wave: Phones, Schools, and Anxious Generations The conversation broadens to the rising cultural pushback against screen saturation, what it means for the next workforce, and why the "soft skills" of curiosity, empathy, and communication may be the most AI-proof assets a person can have. [38:35] Blue Ocean Strategy: The Best Answer to an AI-Commoditized World Shawn closes with his rallying cry: stop competing in red oceans of optimized mediocrity and start creating things that have never existed before. AI can optimize what already exists, but it cannot imagine what doesn't yet.
