Corporate Clarity: Cutting Through Complexity with OKRs 07/24/2025

Corporate Clarity: Cutting Through Complexity with OKRs Challenges with scattered priorities, unclear goals, or slow execution? In this episode of Sustainable Success, we dive into Corporate Clarity: Cutting Through Complexity with OKRs—a powerful framework to align teams, focus efforts, and accelerate results. Learn how top-performing organizations use OKRs to simplify strategy, drive accountability, and turn vision into measurable success. About Guest: Philipp Schett Philipp Schett, CEO and founder of Wave Nine, the leading OKR consultancy worldwide that he's grown into a 7-figure business (heading toward 8!). But Phil isn't just one more strategy guy with a fancy framework - he's a ex- Microsoft and Meta executive who's flipped the traditional OKR model upside down! With his distinctive blend of precision engineering and American optimism (yes, a German national establishing a management consulting company in the United States!), Philipp has overseen more than 300 implementations for organizations ranging from mid-sized nonprofits to Fortune 10 giants with more than 150k employees. While others are focused on tweaking goals and pushing certifications, he's concentrated on what he calls "scaled productivity" - helping organizations reduce millions in unproductive meetings and program management costs. His work has actually helped clients save $200 million worth of time from meetings to real strategic work! Plus, he's got some impressive stories from working across over sixty countries, and when he's not improving how companies execute strategy, he's riding the waves or spinning tracks for fun (now that's balancing work and life!). As the previous Head of Strategy Sound Design at Meta (formerly Facebook), Philipp brings a fresh perspective on opening up goal setting and creating coherence from CEO to project manager. His straightforward approach confronts the "OKR Bible" that tech companies adheres to and instead emphasizes realistic solutions that work for companies beyond the tech bubble.

Rest Is a Leadership Strategy 06/12/2025

Rest Is a Leadership Strategy We don’t talk enough about rest as a tool for vision, clarity, and longevity. Too often, rest is treated as a luxury or a reward for burnout.

The most effective leaders aren’t the ones who work the hardest. They’re the ones who understand that strategic rest is part of the plan, not a sign of weakness.

Everybody Leads: Growing Your Influence and Impact Regardless of Title or Position 06/05/2025

Everybody Leads: Growing Your Influence and Impact Regardless of Title or Position As a self-professed “leadership junkie,” Tim’s journey to understanding what it meant to step up as a leader began thirty years earlier as a young lawyer after he disappointed a boss with an epic failure on a project. The boss challenged Tim (after significant yelling and tough love) by saying that he saw in Tim a strong leader who needed to step up and own his projects, is career, and ambitions. In the three decades since, Tim has studied, read, and grown his leadership skills through hard work, trying novel ideas, failing, learning from the failures, and getting better every day. Along the way, he has seen stories all around him of individuals leading regardless of title, position, background, or circumstances. No matter an individual’s background, race, gender, or ethnic heritage; no matter their education, degree, skill, or talent; no matter if they have made significant life mistakes in their past; no matter if they lead a company of thousands, a group of volunteers at a church, synagogue, or non-profit, are a stay-at-home parent, or a mailroom clerk, leadership is something everyone does every day. It is also something that we can each get better at with effort and focus.

From Startup to Industry Leader 02/27/2025

From Startup to Industry Leader In this episode, we explore the journey of a groundbreaking startup that transformed the landscape of digital advertising by tackling one of its biggest challenges—ad fraud. Discover how innovative technology, data-driven strategies, and an unwavering commitment to transparency helped them rise from an emerging player to an industry leader. Join us as we dive into: ✅ The hidden impact of ad fraud on brands and advertisers ✅ Cutting-edge advancements in fraud detection and prevention ✅ Key lessons from scaling a startup in the fast-evolving digital ecosystem ✅ What the future holds for ad fraud detection and ethical advertising Whether you're a marketer, entrepreneur, or tech enthusiast, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of innovation in shaping a more secure and trustworthy digital advertising space. Tune in. About the Guest: Rich Kahn is Chief Executive Officer of Anura and an authority in digital ad fraud prevention with thirty-one years of experience in digital marketing. In the past 30 years, he created five multimillion-dollar internet companies, all self-funded, with one even achieving a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for five consecutive years. (he was even featured on CNN for his insights!) Rich's venture into ad fraud prevention started with a personal encounter with its harmful effects. As co-founder of eZanga, a marketing company, he observed how fraudulent clicks and bots would deplete ad budgets and skew campaign data. Inspired by this personal experience, Rich launched Anura, a standalone ad fraud detection platform that uses live monitoring and AI. Anura not only identifies fraud - it prevents it in its tracks before it can affect advertising results. In the past year, it exposed 1.2 Billion Dollars in fraudulent activity for its users. (a significant amount if you ask me!) As ad fraud remains a significant drain on ad spend in marketing, it's increasingly crucial for advertisers to be alert to the threat and implement preventive steps to secure their ad budget. w: e: About Christopher Salem Christopher Salem, the dynamic host of the Sustainable Success Show, has been empowering business leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations for nearly 8 years.
