    Does your market know you exist?

    ORGANIC POST TO ACCOMPANY LESSON 6 Does your market know you exist? You can improve your product for months while the people who need it still have no idea you're there. That is why Strategy 6 in my Built to Charge framework is Go-to-Market Domination. Building your product and building your market presence are two parallel battles. Treat both as priorities from day one. Think of a bonfire. Excellent fuel and tremendous heat won't bring people closer if they never see the fire. Your job is to build real value AND deliberately make that value visible to the specific customers you serve. That means giving market presence an owner, a place on the calendar, and a clear way to measure whether you're reaching those customers. Watch today's lesson, then answer this: Are customers choosing someone else—or have they never encountered your offer?

    Introducing Sovereignty, Data and Code: Who's in Control? from The Next Five. Follow the show: The Next Five Throughout history, statecraft was defined by borders, battlelines, and territory. In the 20th century, global power shifted to financial capital and energy reserves. Today, with the digital revolution well underway, does real authority now belong to those who control our data and code? And what does sovereignty now mean in a fast changing AI landscape? Back in the day it used to mean keeping data in a local server room. But today, frontier AI models are advancing at pace, some argue at a speed we can’t control and regulatory lines are being redrawn across the world to try and keep up. Governments and boardrooms now face a fundamental question: who’s controlling who? And what can we do about it? Joining host Tom Parker is Charlie Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO of Everpure, Sana Khareghani, Chief Strategy Officer at Era4, Professor of Practice in AI at King’s College London, AI Policy Lead for Responsible AI UK and Former Head of UK Government Office for Artificial Intelligence and Clare Schramm Fergus, Managing Director, Transaction Banking Technology Platforms, Lloyds Banking Group and Board Member of OpenUK.

    Lay the Tracks Before You Grow

    BUILT TO CHARGE • LESSON 05 Systemization and Process from Day One 🚂 Lay the tracks before the train picks up speed. "We'll put systems in place when we get bigger." That sounds reasonable—until more customers arrive and every question, approval, and problem lands on your desk. Your ambition is the engine. Your systems and processes are the tracks. You need both to move the business forward. Even if you're the only employee, give recurring work a clear path: • What starts the task? • What steps follow? • Who owns it? • When is it due? • What does "done properly" look like? Take customer onboarding. Where do you record the agreement? How do you collect the information you need? Who confirms the delivery date? How do you check that you kept your promise? If the answers live only in your head, your next employee has to keep borrowing your brain. Start with one simple checklist. Use it on real work. Improve it as you learn. Then decide what to automate. Today's move: Pick one task you repeat every week and document it clearly enough for someone else to follow. Lay the tracks today for the business you intend to build.

    From Dirt to Glass: Amanda Danielson on Building Michigan's Food, Wine & Agriculture Future

    What does it take to transform not just a business—but an entire industry? In this episode of the Bullish on Business Podcast, Rose Odette sits down with Amanda Danielson, nationally recognized hospitality leader, entrepreneur, educator, Advanced Sommelier, vineyard owner, and advocate for Michigan agriculture and wine. Amanda's career is an extraordinary example of what happens when entrepreneurship, hospitality, agriculture, education, science, and community come together around a shared vision. As the founder of Velaris Hospitality and owner of the acclaimed Trattoria Stella in Traverse City, Amanda has spent decades helping elevate Northern Michigan's reputation for exceptional food, wine, and hospitality. But her work extends far beyond the restaurant. Amanda founded Intentional Agriculture, a nonprofit created in partnership with Michigan State University to connect Michigan growers with international research and advance economically sustainable viticulture. She is also a co-creator of Dirt to Glass™, the annual conference bringing growers, winemakers, researchers, and global experts together to improve the quality, sustainability, profitability, and international competitiveness of Michigan wine. Amanda owns Tre Sirene Vineyard, which has served as a field laboratory for sustainable growing practices, and she is helping shape The Loamstead Project, a regenerative agriculture and hospitality destination under development in Northern Michigan. IN THIS EPISODE Rose and Amanda explore: • How Amanda's first hospitality job at age 12 helped shape her leadership philosophy • Building Trattoria Stella and helping establish Northern Michigan as a culinary destination • Why developing people can be just as important as developing a business • What becoming an Advanced Sommelier taught Amanda about hospitality and entrepreneurship • What growing grapes taught her that studying and serving wine couldn't • The business case for regenerative and sustainable agriculture • Why Amanda founded Intentional Agriculture • How collaboration between growers, winemakers, researchers, restaurants, and consumers can transform an industry • Why breaking down industry silos matters • Whether Michigan can become recognized as a world-class wine region • The vision behind Dirt to Glass™ • How science, research, and international expertise are helping improve Michigan viticulture • Why Amanda believes Michigan wine "belongs at the table" • The vision behind The Loamstead Project • What CEOs and entrepreneurs can learn from farmers about patience, risk, stewardship, investment, and long-term thinking • Why successful entrepreneurs should think beyond building companies and start thinking about building ecosystems • What Amanda is most bullish about for the future of Michigan food, wine, agriculture, and hospitality DIRT TO GLASS 2026 The conversation is especially timely as Dirt to Glass 2026 takes place August 20–21 in Traverse City, Michigan. Now in its fifth year, Dirt to Glass brings together growers, vineyard managers, winemakers, researchers, and national and international industry experts to help elevate Michigan wine—from the soil all the way to the finished glass. The 2026 conference features 29 speakers, technical presentations, moderated panels, guided wine tastings, vineyard visits, and practical strategies Michigan vineyards and wineries can put to work. ABOUT AMANDA DANIELSON Amanda Danielson is a nationally recognized hospitality leader, entrepreneur, educator, and Advanced Sommelier whose career is helping redefine Michigan's reputation as a destination for world-class food, wine, and regenerative agriculture. She is the founder of Velaris Hospitality, owner of Trattoria Stella, founder of Intentional Agriculture, co-creator of Dirt to Glass™, owner of Tre Sirene Vineyard, and Director of Strategy & Systems for The Loamstead Project. Her career has been built around a powerful philosophy: exceptional hospitality comes from education, intentional work, and a deep respect for place.
