Bearing witness to grief with Randy Aguero
Thank you to Randy Aguero for sharing his deeply personal journey through grief and mental health struggles after losing his oldest son Dima to fentanyl poisoning in March 2021. Randy shared how he delayed taking mental health leave from his corporate position for over three years, even being offered early departure by his company's health department, until he was finally diagnosed with high-functioning depression at near-crisis level in 2024. The conversation explored Randy's military background, his current MBSR teacher certification training, and his mission to help other young men express vulnerability and process grief, particularly drawing from his experience mentoring others through similar struggles. Randy emphasized the importance of authentic connection and "bearing witness" to others' suffering rather than well-intentioned but ineffective offers to "just call if you need anything." The full interview will drop on May 5th.

There's no cheat code...You have to go do 'the thing' with Kendra Cato
In this episode, I sit down with Kendra Cato for a real, unscripted conversation about leadership, resilience, and what it actually looks like to grow through uncertainty. Kendra shares her journey—from joining a pandemic-era book club that turned into something much bigger, to co-authoring alongside 14 other female executives. What started as connection during a chaotic time evolved into a powerful platform for shared voices and leadership stories. We also get into her more personal chapter—writing while navigating a career transition after being laid off. That part of the conversation hits differently. It’s about identity, uncertainty, and choosing to move forward when the path isn’t clear. Kendra opens up about loss—the passing of her father and a close friend—and how those experiences reshaped how she leads, how she shows up, and what actually matters. There’s a level of perspective here that you can’t fake. We talk about: Why the people you surround yourself with matter more than you think What authenticity really looks like in professional environments Taking risks when you don’t have all the answers How to stay grounded when life throws something unexpected your way This one isn’t theory—it’s lived experience. If you’ve ever been in a moment where things felt uncertain or out of your control, there’s something in here for you

Consistency, Transparency & Context with Kip Wright

Consistency, Transparency & Context with Kip Wright
In this episode, I sat down with Kip Wright for a real conversation about what’s actually happening inside staffing companies right now—and what leaders should be doing about it. Kip is the Founder o& CEO f Wright Path Advisors, where he works closely with staffing owners navigating everything from day-to-day leadership challenges to major transitions like private equity deals. We covered a lot in this one… What we talked about: How Kip built WightPath Advisors to support smaller and mid-sized staffing firms through the full ownership lifecycle The reality of today’s staffing market—and why sales teams are struggling more than most leaders want to admit Why automated outreach and volume-based tactics are falling flat (and what to do instead) The shift back to relationship-driven sales—and what that actually looks like in practice Kip’s approach to leadership, discipline, and accountability Why tracking the right metrics (and making them visible) changes behavior fast The role of recognition—and how most companies completely miss the mark here One thing that stood out to me: Kip doesn’t overcomplicate it. His philosophy is simple—be disciplined, measure what matters, and make it visible. Sounds basic… but very few teams actually do it. We also went a little deeper toward the end—talking about the need for better, more constructive conversations across different perspectives. Not just in business, but in general. That’s a conversation I’m looking forward to continuing with him. 🎧 Watch or Listen to Cut Through the Noise here: YouTube: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cut-through-the-noise-with-dave-turano/id1466812912?i=1000760035320 If you’re in staffing—or leading any kind of sales team—this one will hit close to home.

Uncovering the Real Person with Vinda Souza
In this episode, I sat down with Vinda to talk about her journey from growing up in Saudi Arabia to moving to the U.S. at 15, and how finding debate helped her navigate that transition and ultimately shaped her career in communication and persuasion. We also got into how her background in performing sharpened her ability to read people (including spotting genuine vs. fake smiles), and how that carries into her work today with RevAssured—helping staffing agencies go beyond resumes to understand the real person behind the candidate. It’s a conversation about authenticity, human connection, and why recruiting needs to move from transactional to relational.

Eric is one of five children - born and raised in Dracut, MA. He had a nice childhood, but not an extravagant one. His family vacations consisted of day trips to the beach or weekends in the mountains. In fact, he did not fly in an airplane until he was 16 or travel outside the US until he was 30. Czerlonka chose to study Engineering at the New York Institute of Technology, and learned quickly that it wasnt for him Four years later graduated with a BA in Adversting. What did he took afterwards?!? He spent the better part of the next ten years waiting tables and bartending - four of them at the Navy Pier! The hospitality industry taught Czerlonka a lot about people, connections, service and relationships - all of which are integral to his business today. After his days waiting and bartending, he landed Director level jobs at the likes of The Boston Harbor Hotel, The Ritz Carlton and Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, where he got the equivalent of a doctorate degree in Luxury Event Planning, Catering and Superior Customer Service. His path wasn't planned It was indirect. And it was hard at times But in the end, Czerlonka wouldn't change a thing Why does this man have a delusional belief in himself? Find out on 12/17...

The State of Healthcare in Underserved Communities with Jay Trivedi
Jay Trivedi, CEO of Uphams Community Care, was a latch key kid raised in Medford, MA by parents that emigrated from India in 1973 with only $8 to their name. His Mom and Dad were highly educated, but their degrees from India didn't quite translate when they came to the US. Nevertheless, his dad was able to build a career in Psychiatry, while his Mom pursued her path in Anesthesiology. From the get go, Jay had an interest in medicine. He wanted to be a Neurologist, but since his grades didn't quite cut it, he worked as an EMT, a professor and researcher, all while taking classes at night to get his MBA. He joined UCC in 2004 as the Director of Operations and today he is the second CEO in the company's 53 year history. Hear Jay's perspectives on how funding, talent shortages and the cost of real estate is impacting the quality of healthcare in our underserved communities. This episode drops tomorrow morning on...

Life is a Sales Call with Tom Hannigan, President, Americas - ServiceNow
Welcome to Cut Through the Noise, bringing you the truth behind the headlines in business and current events, Hosted by Dave Turano 'When I got out of college, the job market was horrendous and I didn't know what I wanted to do. For a year, I applied to every job on the planet and saved up a stack of rejection letters from all off them' So what did Tom Hannigan and his Criminal Justice degree do after he graduated from St. Anselm College? He worked in a warehouse, and then as a security guard, and finally as a claims adjuster. A few years later, his buddy got him an interview at EMC for a sales job. Tom had not heard of EMC at at the time, but he took the interview anyway. And? He fell short... His buddy shared the following feedback when it was over... 'They said you were pretty mediocre...' Thankfully for Tom, EMC gave him a second chance. 'I was at the right place at the right time and blessed to be molded by them' Tom put in the work and rose through the ranks at EMC for the next 16 years. Today, he sits atop ServiceNow Americas - a company that he's watched grow from $400 Million and 1000 employees to $10 Billion and 23,000 employees since he joined ten years ago. How? 'We have the best people and the best people always win' Listen to this upbeat conversation about having fun with people that you like and trust. 'Nothing ever came easy to me.

He shared stories on why some organizations struggle to develop leaders from within. We contrasted employee empowerment with the discharge of responsibility to people that don't know what to do.

Consequential Thinking with Renee Viens
Like many children born into military families, Renee Viens moved a lot when she was a child. After her parents divorced when she was thirteen, Renee stepped up to help her Mom. If something needed to get done - she figured it out. 'I was a little Mom' Renee became an adult an early age; taking on housekeeping duties, meal prep and caring for her younger sister. Renee learned the value of anticipation, risk management and consequential thinking well before she went to college. These same skills still serve her today as an Executive Assistant, Coach and Mentor. 'I've made art form out of living around other people for their convenience,' as a behind the scenes support system, organizer and copilot, which is why she is able to successfully support many talented professionals of all levels as they navigate their careers. 'Executive Assistants put so much into the things that we do - We are our jobs. We are kind of married to our work - The people we support are always in our brain.' Please take the time to listen to Renee's insights on mentorship, coaching and what it is like to be inside the mind of an Executive. She was put here to do this work! https://reneeviens.com/

Mental Health and the Modern Dad with Liam Martin
Welcome to Cut Through the Noise, bringing you the truth behind the headlines in business and current events, Hosted by Dave Turano. Not many people have the courage to walk away from the security of a great job, especially when they love what they do. But that's s exactly what Liam Martin did. After fifteen years in broadcast television; the last four as morning anchor at WBZ Boston; Liam said goodbye to explore a new venture in the private sector. Martin partnered up with Jackie Bruno and Rachel Robbins at Newsmaker Marketing; a Public Relations firm that helps its clients tell their stories through video, social media marketing, and by helping them to get hits on the news! It's been six weeks since he made the announcement and he has no regrets at all! 'What it really boiled down to was my mental health, and wanting to be the husband and dad that I want to be,' is what Liam expressed to me when I asked him why he decided to do this. About a year into working the morning shift, he knew something wasn't right... Getting up at 2:15 AM each day was taking a toll on him...fog-brain, depression, and anxiety had set in, only exacerbating some of the mental health challenges that he had experienced as a child. Thankfully, with the support of his family, friends and regular therapy, he is working to incorporate several routines that have helped him to feel a little better. You can hear what Liam's routines are by subscribing to Cut Through the Noise on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music or YouTube. Hope you enjoy this conversation. I know that I did!

The Extroverted CFO and the Founder Mentality with Scott Dussault
Long time friend & fellow Stonehill College grad, Scott Dussault, joined me this week to talk start-ups, technology, people, communication and phony phone calls! Scott has more than two decades of operational and financial leadership experience, and a track record of success in both public and private technology companies. Scott kicked off his career at E&Y and then quickly transitioned into a CFO at companies like Storage Networks, Archivas, Demandware, Nasuni and Workhuman. For the last seven years Scott has advised entrepreneurs and start-ups in the tech sector by leveraging a unique blend of people skills, operational excellence and creativity to get them to the next stage of growth. Scott received his Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Stonehill College and was presented with the Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy for receiving the highest score in the state in the May 1993 CPA exam. From childhood to present day, Scott has a laundry list of impressive accomplishments, but when all is said and done, he is likely to go down in history as the greatest prank phone caller of all time! This was a fun conversation!

Salespeople Forgot How to Sell - with Kortney Harmon

Salespeople Forgot How to Sell - with Kortney Harmon
Anyone remember the 'The Island of Misfit Toys' from the animated Christmas special, 'Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer'? It was a place that an unwanted toy was sent if a child didn't want to play with it... 'Charlie' in the box, the spotted elephant, and the water pistol that shot jelly were just three of many toys that were relegated to the island. If that special were made in 2024, I would imagine that the cast might have included 'Salespeople that forgot how to sell!' Bad joke... Thank you to Kortney Harmon, with Crelate, for a fun conversation about sales, recruiting and the importance of having a PROCESS! The mood of the staffing industry is somewhat flat these days A number of companies have reported that business is down between 15-30%! Why??? Lot's of reasons - Poor leadership and lack of process are two of them! Kortney shared a number of great ideas on how to drive engagement, consistency and confidence into sales and recruiting teams in the current environment Hope you enjoy!
