    Company Culture Secrets From a CEO Who Chose Servant Leadership | Simon Beltran

    What if the real secret to scaling a business isn't the balance sheet, it's servant leadership? On this episode of the Shift Happens Podcast, Simon Beltran, CEO of O'Neill Companies, breaks down how he turned a 1908 print shop into a thriving, 100% employee-owned creative ecosystem without ever sacrificing his values. Simon shares how servant leadership shapes every decision at O'Neill Companies, from the strategic acquisition of agency Rule 29 to blending organic growth with a strong employee-owned culture across teams in Phoenix, Tempe, and fully remote locations. He dives into the company culture rituals that make ownership real for every employee—radical transparency, quarterly town halls, an EOS-based management system, and even official "huggers" on staff.

    Leadership Behind a $120M Commercial Transformation | Rogério Assad

    Rogério Assad, a commercial leadership expert who grew a $35 million P&L into nearly $120 million, without sacrificing values, people, or purpose. Throughout the conversation, Rogério walks us through how he led a deep commercial transformation, moving from a volume-driven model to one genuinely built on value. He shares what it took to integrate teams in Mexico and South America that once competed against each other, and how he turned that dynamic into a culture of high collaboration, shared best practices, and consistent growth. One of the standout moments is the story of how he won back 75% of a strategic client lost in Mexico (not through price discounts, but through relationship, presence, and a deep understanding of the value chain) guided by the phrase that defines his career: "people buy from people." The result is a dense, practical, and human conversation for anyone leading commercial teams in tough markets without losing their authenticity.

    Creativity Became a $1M Engine for Change | Justin Ahren | Shift Happens Podcast

    What happens when creativity stops being just an aesthetic choice and becomes a real engine for change? In this Podcast Interview on the Shift Happens Podcast, Justin Ahrens, founder of the branding agency Rule29 and the mind behind the mantra "make creative matter," shares how 30 years of Creative Leadership reshaped his thinking about the true purpose of design. He opens up about a trip to Africa that forced him to confront an uncomfortable question: what can I actually do here with the skills I have? That question sparked Wheels for Water, a project that started with a $40,000 fundraising goal and ended up generating over $1 million, bringing clean water, sanitation, and education to roughly 20,000 people. That experience went on to reshape the agency itself, putting Purpose-Driven Branding at the center of its strategy, culture, and business decisions. The conversation also covers his books, "Life Kerning" and his newest release, "Being Humankind," along with the question he poses on stages around the world: do you believe you can change the world?  Host: Kamila Adamatti | Guest: Justin AhrenRole: President & Chief Creative OfficerCompany: Rule29

    A $10B Strategist’s Journey | Daniel Law

    What does it take to walk away from a thriving big law career, move your family across the world, and essentially start over with no guarantees? That's exactly what Daniel Law did before becoming the executive helping shape strategy at a $10B+ engineering firm operating across 42 countries. In this episode, Daniel opens up about that bold pivot: from law to strategy, from the comfort of a traditional path to the discomfort of going back to school and breaking into entirely new markets. He takes us behind the scenes of his time at McKinsey, unpacks why so many transformations fail, and shares concrete examples of how disengaged middle management can quietly sink years of planning, dropping the odds of success to a staggering 3%.
