About Jenn Drummond:
A car accident in 2018 left Jenn Drummond awestruck and emboldened.  Rescue workers couldn’t imagine any scenario where she came out of it alive, but she did.  That’s when she realized you don’t get to choose when you leave this life…but you sure can choose how you live it.  Strengthened by this awareness, she set out to live in a more authentic and adventurous way. Inspired to climb a mountain for her birthday, her son raised the stakes by suggesting Mount Everest. 
Not one to back down from a challenge, she accepted the pursuit. During her training, her coach upped the ante and proposed that she go for a Guinness World Record and become the first woman to climb the 7 second summits. The pursuit matched her desire to live a life of significance, not just success.
Today, Jenn is a world record holder who elevates others to master their own summit in life.  She’s a successful business owner and Mom of 7 remarkable kids who, as you have heard, boldly inspire and brazenly challenge her. She’s also an international speaker, author, and Host of the Seek Your Summit podcast, who’s focused on inspiring others to go beyond success to a life of significance.

People Are Assets Not Expenses: The True Value of Human Capital - Dave Bookbinder

Welcome to a special episode of "Behind the Numbers," featuring an exclusive TEDx-style talk from the Finance Innovation and Excellence (FinEx) Summit 2021! In this episode, Dave Bookbinder explores the powerful idea that a company’s most valuable asset—its people—is often missing from financial statements.
In this award-winning talk, which earned the FinEx Award for Most Impactful Catchphrase, Dave challenges the traditional view that people are simply an expense to be minimized, arguing instead that "People are assets, not expenses." This shift in perspective can transform business success by recognizing the true value of human capital.
Tune in to hear why every CEO who claims “our people are our greatest asset” must back it up by viewing employees as assets rather than expenses. Special thanks to CFO.University and AARO Middle East for making this thought-provoking session possible.

The Power of Mindset in Entrepreneurship - Victoria Yampolsky

In this episode of Behind the Numbers, I'm pleased to welcome Victoria Yampolsky, who is the president and founder of the Startup Station. 
Victoria shares insights on how a positive mindset can lead to better outcomes, even in challenging situations like receiving negative feedback from investors. She highlights the importance of mindset training, comparing it to physical exercise, and discusses proven strategies such as meditation, exercise, and setting aside time for self-awareness.
Victoria illustrates the impact of mindset with real-life examples, including entrepreneurs who thrived by embracing feedback and those who struggled due to rigid thinking. She also emphasizes the significance of financial literacy for entrepreneurs, explaining common mistakes in revenue projections, cost understanding, and the importance of cash flow management.
Throughout the conversation, Victoria and Dave explore the critical financial metrics that entrepreneurs need to track, such as EBITDA, cash flow from operations, and unit economics. They stress the importance of creating flexible and robust financial models that reflect the business strategy and market realities.
As the episode progresses, Victoria delves into the essential characteristics of effective leadership in entrepreneurship, including mental flexibility, intrinsic motivation, emotional regulation, and integrity. She provides valuable advice on how to develop these traits and their impact on business success.
About Victoria Yampolsky
Victoria Yampolsky, CFA, is a serial entrepreneur and an experienced business and finance executive with extensive startup experience. She is the President and Founder of The Startup Station, a CFO advisory and finance education platform for startups and small businesses.
Victoria founded The Startup Station in 2013 after she realized that while startup founders had a lot of passion and technical knowledge about what they were doing, they rarely had business acumen about how to bring their idea to market. Even more rarely they could analyze the financial implications of their decisions, let alone explain the business in financial terms to investors.
The Startup Station focuses on strategic financial modeling of startups and small businesses. We are fractional CFOs who know how to build and use financial models, or plans, as business intelligence tools. These tools translate the founders’ vision into an executable measurable roadmap. By properly implementing this roadmap in the financial systems, we can respond faster and more accurately to market feedback.

Leadership With Common Sense - Doug Thorpe

Today, we're focusing on leadership, a recurring theme in our discussions, and we're thrilled to be joined by Doug Thorpe, a business advisor, executive coach, and host of the show "Leadership Powered by Common Sense."
Doug shares his extensive background, from his early days as a military officer to his career in banking, and ultimately his journey into consulting and executive coaching. With experience spanning various industries and company sizes, Doug has dedicated himself to helping leaders become better bosses and influencers within their organizations.
In our conversation, we delve into the concept of developing one's identity as a leader. Doug emphasizes the importance of framing up the kind of leader you aspire to be, aligning it with your values and beliefs. He introduces a simple methodology to identify attributes that resonate with you, setting the foundation for effective leadership.
We also explore the challenges faced by next-generation leaders. Doug highlights the traditional path where top individual contributors are promoted to leadership roles without adequate training. He advises new leaders to be proactive in seeking training and mentorship to bridge the gap and effectively transition from being a doer to a thinker.
Addressing the common issue of imposter syndrome, Doug reassures aspiring leaders that they are not alone in feeling inadequate. Embracing this awareness can drive a hunger for learning and improvement. He suggests finding a mentor or coach to navigate these challenges and develop confidence in their leadership abilities.
Doug further discusses the importance of influence in leadership, both upwards and downwards within the organizational hierarchy. He explains that understanding your boss's perspective and finding ways to insert your ideas can enhance your influence without overextending your personal capital.
We also tackle the difference between management and leadership. Doug shares a powerful insight: management is about process, while leadership is about people. Effective leaders invest in their people, helping them thrive and become their best selves at work.
About Our Guest:
Doug Thorpe is an executive coach who provides personalized, one-on-one coaching services to help entrepreneurs and other professionals reach their full potential.

Unlocking Market Potential with Hypernomics: Doug Howarth on Multidimensional Market Analysis and Competitive Advantage

Welcome to Behind the Numbers, hosted by Dave Bookbinder. In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking field of hypernomics with Doug Howarth, CEO of Hypernomics, Inc. and author of Hypernomics: Using Hidden Dimensions to Solve Unseen Problems. Doug introduces the science of hypernomics, explaining how it leverages multidimensional analysis to reveal hidden market structures, constraints, and opportunities across various industries.
Doug breaks down hypernomics as a transformative approach to understanding complex markets. By mapping out market variables like square footage, lot size, and price in the housing market, hypernomics can predict pricing ceilings and optimize decision-making. This methodology extends well beyond commodities, offering insights applicable to everything from real estate to retail.
Throughout the episode, Doug shares practical examples, including choosing a washing machine and designing optimal restaurant seating during the COVID-19 pandemic. These cases illustrate how hypernomics can simplify complex decisions for businesses and even small enterprises, making it a valuable tool for any industry.
Hypernomics isn’t just for large corporations; Doug explains how this powerful tool can help business leaders identify market gaps, anticipate demand, and strategically position new products. Hypernomics, Inc. has developed software to map out competitive spaces and understand the upper limits of demand, allowing businesses to avoid costly mistakes and maximize profitability.
Investors can also gain an edge with hypernomics. Doug shares how their private fund, guided by hypernomic principles, has outperformed the S&P 500—demonstrating the system's effectiveness in stock market investment.
Looking ahead, Doug envisions hypernomics becoming a core discipline in business and economics, with applications across industry, academia, and government. His goal is to see hypernomics adopted widely, revolutionizing how markets are understood and navigated to support smarter decision-making.
To learn more about hypernomics, connect with Doug Howarth on his website at dughowarth.com or visit hypernomics.com. His book is available on Wiley, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.
About our guest:
Doug Howarth, CEO Hypernomics, Inc. & Author of Hypernomics: Using Hidden Dimensions to Solve Unseen Problems
Doug Howarth unleashed a paradigm shift. He discovered Hypernomics. It alters economics in the same way relativity changed physics, as it uses new frames of reference. It starts with four dimensions and adds time for a fifth. But, there is no upper limit to the dimensions considered. It finds the linked, opposing, self-organizing states of Value and Demand at work against each other at all times - just like the game of tug-of-war. 
At age 14, Doug Howarth sensed the plotting systems created by René Descartes were inadequate for many tasks. Decades later, he made a series of startling discoveries. He found the economy self-organizes in recognizable opposing patterns and devised ways to portray markets in four, five, or any number of dimensions. Doug named this new field Hypernomics. In 2011, he formed a company, Hypernomics, Inc., who show their customers how to take advantage of Hypernomics. 
Hypernomics. Inc. has worked for NASA, United Technologies, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, among others. Along with two of his Hypernomics colleagues, he was awarded US Patent Number 10,402,838 for Multivariable Regression Analysis, the world's first software designed to deconstruct markets into their 4D structures.
​Doug has written 13 peer-reviewed publications across four continents.  They've been issued by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS), among others. NASA has requested that he speak to them three times. He has spoken to the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) in London four times, and they have published his peer-reviewed work as well.

Winning Mondays & Leading with Purpose: Paul Epstein’s 49ers Playbook for Success

Welcome to another enlightening episode of "Behind the Numbers," hosted by Dave Bookbinder.

In this episode of Behind the Numbers, Dave Bookbinder hosts an engaging conversation with Chris Strohsahl, the President and CEO of Drummond Scientific Corp. The discussion offers deep insight into Drummond's vital role in the global medical device industry, their unique approach to impactful solution creation, and the immense importance of nurturing meaningful client relationships.
Chris shares captivating details of his journey, moving from biophysics to leading Drummond Scientific Corp in developing and investing in life-saving medical devices. He sheds light on their mission of making a difference beyond just product production, from helping families conceive to assisting individuals manage crucial health conditions. He further explores the challenging journey a product takes before hitting the shelves, and Drummond's key role in scaling these devices to ensure broader accessibility.
Stressing on the need for forming strategic partnerships, Chris emphasizes the vital responsibility of supporting customers in the design process, thereby securing the viability of their innovative solutions at scale. The team also scrutinises the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, reinforcing the significance of flexibility and adaptability in preserving business operations and supply chain management.
In the concluding section of the episode, they discuss the vital role and the value of efficacy of a management team, underscoring the essence of the team's synergies and collective competencies in an organization.
Chris outlines the value of failure as an entrepreneur, emphasizing its role as a tool for understanding one's potential and fostering success. The significance of networking, building sustainable relationships, and running startups are other invaluable nuggets shared in this insightful discussion.
As an Angel Investor, Chris advises focusing beyond a startup's monetary value, instead, keeping an eye on the people and mission behind it.
About Chris Strohsahl:
Chris Strohsahl is the President and CEO of Drummond Scientific Company. A biophysicist by training, with expertise in the innovation of diagnostic techniques and devices, he rose to Drummond’s top position at the start of 2022 and has since led the Company’s rebranding as an elite manufacturing partner to both leaders and disruptors in the IVD and IVF industries. A passionate believer that medical device development works best when end-stage manufacturing is engaged early, Chris and his colleagues have driven a paradigm-shift at the Company, as Drummond now actively seeks to engage its partners far earlier than would be expected of a typical high-throughput manufacturer.

In addition to identifying the problems, Safeer also suggests practical solutions. He underscores the need for robust systems to manage cash flow effectively, challenging the typical emphasis on measuring success through profit and sales. Safeer suggests a different perspective, advocating for efficient cash flow systems as the foundational backbone of a successful business model.

Safeer explores the often-overlooked role of accountants in cash flow management, suggesting that they should not just report but proactively manage cash flow. He wraps up the episode by reiterating the importance of changing business mindsets to achieve a healthier financial state and extends an invite to struggling businesses to seek help and strategies for becoming more cash flow positive.

Scaling Your Business – Hal Levenson

Why do many small businesses fail to scale? Today’s guest says that it’s a function of leadership and it’s fixable.
Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Hal Levenson, Partner and Chief Visionary Officer  at Haefele Flanagan.
Former CPA, Hal Levenson, spent many years in his accounting practice helping small and medium-sized companies, in the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia area. An entrepreneur himself, Hal is passionate about the contributions that entrepreneurs make to economic growth, standard of living, skill advancement, and community development. Yet, in his years in accounting, he saw the frustration of CEOs trying to align business objectives with personal goals. He noticed that so many businesses seemed stuck. Employees at most every level were putting in long hours and working exceptionally hard just to get an edge on a competitor, keep up with technology or handle sensitive personnel issues.
When organizations attempt to carry out major business functions without the required skills and behaviors, it creates a great and unnecessary challenge and slows business growth. Hal founded Trilogy Partners in 2009 to provide these businesses and their CEOs with the direction, planning, and financial advice that they need. He formed a team of experienced C-Suite advisors, called Alliance Partners, who could help entrepreneurs implement their vision.
In 2021, Trilogy Partners merged with Haefele Flanagan to provide stronger outcomes for clients, whom now have access to holistic business advisory services from strategy through finance.  HFConsulting services include, but are not limited to, strategic planning, executive and leadership coaching, business transition and exit planning, financial education, and C-Suite support.
In this episode we unpack the various factors that impact a company's ability to scale, including identifying blind spots; making tough decisions; creating healthy conflict to increase accountability; and more!

Is My CEO a Psychopath? – Jack McCullough

Research suggests that individuals who lack empathy and remorse and possess manipulative tendencies are drawn to leadership positions in companies. Surprisingly, the incidence of psychopathy among CEOs is comparable to that of the prison population, with up to 1 in 5 corporate executives exhibiting psychopathic traits. This alarming statistic highlights the significant presence of psychopathy among CEOs, especially when compared to the general population where only 1 in 100 individuals are psychopaths.
In a fascinating conversation, Dave Bookbinder delves into the subject with Jack McCullough, the President of CFO Leadership Council and author of "Secrets of Rockstar CFOs" and "The Psychopathic CEO: An Executive Survival Guide." Jack, who founded The CFO Leadership Council in 2006, has successfully established a platform for chief financial officers to access top-notch professional development programs and networking events. With his extensive experience as the Director of KPMG's Global Innovation Center and as a CFO for 26 startups, Jack understands the challenges faced by corporate leaders in today's business landscape. His expertise has earned him recognition and media attention, with interviews on Bloomberg, CNN, and Fox Business Network, as well as mentions in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, CFO Magazine, and Business Finance Magazine.
Jack's contribution to the field of finance extends beyond his role as a CFO. He has developed a venture capital course for Harvard Business School and MIT Sloan MBA candidates, solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in the industry. Furthermore, he is the visionary behind the highly acclaimed MIT Sloan CFO Summit, regarded as the most influential conference for financial leaders worldwide.
In this episode Jack tells us how to identify a psychopathic CEO including some famous ones;  how to survive working with a psychopathic CEO;  what separates a good CFO from an elite CFO, and more!

Leadership Advice From Sam The Squirrel – Tania Luna

What can a couple of squirrels teach you about leadership? Tune in to find out!
Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Tania Luna, Author of Lead Together - Stop Squirreling Away Power and Build a Better Team.
Psychology researcher and leadership educator Tania Luna offers the tale of Sam Squirrel, branch manager of Nuts for You, Inc., whose company faces an impending forest recession. Sam employs the leadership tactics his boss, Jack Walnuts, taught him ("know the way and make them go your way") but achieves only distrust, disengagement, poor performance, and high turnover. During Sam's last-ditch effort to meet his quotas, he finds a hidden, thriving community that shows him a radical new way to lead. But will it be enough to save Nuts for You and help Sam realize his dream of becoming Chief Nut Officer?
Lead Together springs from Luna's experience applying power-with principles to build a multimillion-dollar business with 96% employee engagement and less than 2% attrition. It shines a light on the little-known philosophy of organizational scholar Mary Parker Follett and takes inspiration from Daniel Quinn’s philosophical fiction as well as Patrick Lencioni’s and John Kotter’s parables.
In this episode we’re discussing why a "power-with" vs "power-over" leadership style produces innovative and cohesive teams, and the real-world impact of leadership on Tania’s business valuation.
