    Deborah S. Lapin on Turning Preparation into a Competitive Advantage

    On this episode of the THINK Business Podcast, Deb Lapin shared five timeless takeaways for any business person looking to think sharper, prepare better, and lead with confidence. Deborah S. Lapin is a shareholder at Maddin Hauser known for her sharp litigation skills and client-first approach. Top 5 Takeaways for Any Business Person Looking to Elevate Their Game: The Power of Being Underestimated Fundamentals Always Win Anticipation Is a Competitive Advantage Over-Prepare and Stay Adaptable to Be Ready for Anything Being True to Yourself Is the Ultimate Strategy --- Deborah (Deb) S. Lapin, a shareholder in Maddin Hauser's Financial Services and Real Property Litigation group, is a zealous advocate who blends creativity, determination, and pragmatism to obtain favorable outcomes in real estate litigation and a wide range of business disputes. Always cognizant that her efforts must consider the bigger picture and the bottom line, Deb develops individual case strategies that align with her clients' broader strategic objectives and financial and reputational interests. The foundation of Deb's courtroom acumen is the intensive trial experience she gained during her time as a public defender in New York City and as an associate in a busy plaintiff's litigation firm. She has since complemented the advocacy skills and insights she developed in these roles with extensive and immersive work handling real estate litigation, particularly mortgage-related issues and title insurance coverage disputes. Her practice also extends across the full spectrum of business litigation matters, where she leverages the firm's cross-disciplinary capabilities and resources to supplement her efforts on behalf of clients spanning multiple industries. Tough but reasonable, she is as adept at obtaining early resolutions of disputes as she is at securing verdicts in her clients' favor. Appreciating the internal pressures and priorities her institutional clients face, Deb is committed to transparent communication, thoughtful efficiency, and strong, collaborative working relationships. She makes the litigation experience less stressful and taxing for clients, who appreciate her clear expectation-setting and personable counseling style. Deb enjoys speaking and blogging on topics relevant to her practice and clients and regularly presents continuing legal education courses to her colleagues. She also takes an active interest in the industries where her clients do business, including serving on the Board of Directors of the Michigan Recreational Boating Industries Educational Foundation.

    Owen Garitty on Building an Unagency That Breaks the Rules

    Owen Garitty founded FPW Media in 2013 for a reason–to dismantle the extrinsic nature of a traditional marketing agency and forge a path for an innovative, fresh, and transformative creative vision. Today, that vision remains with FPW's three connective divisions: brand, films, and merchandise, which design and implement client services entirely in-house, effectively cutting out the potential for misinterpretation of any client's message or goals. FPW was founded as an "unagency"–a concept pioneered by Garitty that prioritizes a client-first outlook, meaning clients' visions come to life organically through unconventional but efficacious processes. Garitty has had an aptitude for photography since the age of ten when he got his first camera–a Pentax 35mm–and has since amassed over 15 years of photographic experience. He won his first photography award at thirteen, began working professionally at fifteen, and went on to pursue a career in visual storytelling that grew to encompass design, marketing, and creative direction. In a lifelong pursuit of creating compelling visual narratives, Garitty's passion lies in garnering brand recognition for his clients with impactful visuals and stimulating design. His profound understanding of the millennial zeitgeist makes him an invaluable asset in a new media landscape. Today, Garitty oversees brand vision and implementation for privately and publicly traded companies. He cultivates ongoing partnerships with a host of companies, ranging in specialty from large-scale manufacturers to apparel, agriculture, and heavy industrial equipment. He remains present and hands-on: clients have his personal cell phone number and can trust that Garitty is carefully guiding the creative direction of their project. In 2018, Garitty directed the award-winning and critically acclaimed film, Lionhearted, which elevates veterans' combat stories. The film focuses on the post-war lives of veterans, emphasizing the need for a sustained platform through which they can relay their experiences. The film's moving visuals, made up of interviews juxtaposed with combat footage, highlight the profound and moving realities of many of our nation's heroes. Garitty's passion for vivid visual storytelling continues to emanate from the page, screen, or billboard–venturing beyond the ordinary and garnering clients the recognition they want by involving viewers in the narrative. As someone who values place and community, Garitty ensures that FPW is regularly involved in projects with local organizations such as nonprofits, government agencies, and educational institutions. When he isn't at the office, Garitty can be found boxing, enjoying craft coffee, or gardening organic fruits and vegetables.

    What Are You Good At: The Future of AI in Business with Henry King

    On this episode of What Are You Good At (a THINK Business & Sales series)… Jeff Gunsberg and I sat down with Henry King, author of Autonomous: Why the Fittest Businesses Embrace AI for Strategies and Digital Labor, for one of the most eye-opening AI conversations we've had on the show. Henry has spent years inside Accenture, Salesforce, and the consulting world — giving him a rare lens on how fast business is changing and what leaders must prepare for next. We talked about: Why the last 3–6 months of AI adoption have moved faster than the last few years. Why most people are still using ChatGPT like Google, and what that's costing them. Why the companies that win will be the ones bold enough to rethink everything: org charts, workflows, roles, and the relationship between humans and machines. And Henry breaks down exactly why we're about to see AI as digital colleagues, not just productivity tools. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Generative AI is not the finish line, it's the warm-up. The real disruption is agentic AI that performs work, makes decisions, and becomes part of the workforce. 2. The human advantage is shifting. We win with curiosity, imagination, empathy, and better questions, not effort or years of experience. 3. Leaders must design for movement, not stability. The dust isn't settling. The organizations that thrive will be the ones built for flexibility, experimentation, and constant reinvention. --- Henry King Innovation Strategist and Advisor | Co-author of best-selling books BOUNDLESS and AUTONOMOUS | ex-Salesforce, Deloitte Consulting, Accenture Leader in Innovation, Transformation and Technology. 30+ years experience helping companies meet their growth and transformation goals, both in the US and internationally, with expertise in i) Innovation Strategy and Management, ii) Digital Transformation, iii) Information Technology Leadership, Strategy, and Full Lifecycle Management iv)Thought Leadership, Writing and Teaching Co-author of the best selling book ""Boundless: A New Mindset for Unlimited Business Success"".
