The Boardroom Podcast

When your business is stagnant or declining, most entrepreneurs make the fatal mistake of throttling back their marketing while they "fix things." 

This episode reveals why that's completely backwards and how we've turned around multiple blue chip clients who were stuck in revenue decline. 

We break down the exact case study of a client who was splitting her messaging between plant-based and menopause markets, confusing h...

The difference between entrepreneurs who scale and those who stall often comes down to habits.

In this episode of The Boardroom Podcast, I sit down with Taylor O’Hare, one of the most respected SDR managers in the high-ticket game.

What’s up, good fam, Iggy here. 

In this episode of The Boardroom Podcast me and Tikis get real about why most entrepreneurs struggle to generate leads and scale their business. 

Everybody wants to blame ads, platforms, or budgets but the truth is most people have weak offers and poor positioning.

In business, your reputation is your real currency. Revenue might keep the lights on, but reputation builds a legacy. 

In this episode, we unpack why protecting your name is worth more than chasing short-term sales,  and how doing right by your customers can actually grow your business over time.

I share a story where I refunded a massive amount in sales after a product didn’t deliver as promised. It stung in the mo...

Everything hit at once.

We’re in the middle of a massive transition, and everything’s breaking at the same time.

New infrastructure. CRM overhaul. Website rebuild. Product redesign. Dev turnover. Competitor impersonation. 

It’s one of those moments where everything you used to rely on starts crumbling, and you realize the systems that got you here won’t get you to what’s next.

In this episode, we ...

Most businesses don’t fail because of a lack of effort, they fail because they’re built on guesswork. No systems, no structure, no real communication across the team. 

In this episode, we’ll walk you through the bulletproof formula we’re using to turn Charlie into a company that wins by design, not by accident. 

We’re breaking down how to engineer your marketing so leads come in pre-qualified...

Top-tier tips and the discipline behind building a billion-dollar business aren’t found in the loud moments—they’re built in the quiet ones.

We just let go of someone important. Not because we wanted to, but because it was time.

Most people get this part of leadership wrong. I used to. But this time, we did it right.

This conversation isn’t about hype. It’s about the real work. The hard decisions.

The ...

Every founder dreads that moment when the best person looks you in the eye and says they’re leaving. It feels personal. It feels like a setback. I’ve been there. I know what that weight feels like.

But I’ve also learned that losing people doesn’t always mean losing momentum. Sometimes it exposes what you’ve been ignoring. Sometimes it forces you to lead different, think bigger, and rebuild stronger.

In...

You can’t fake it anymore.

The coaching game has changed. The agency game, too. 

What worked even 12 months ago is dead. Cookie-cutter funnels, random lookalike targeting, copy-paste webinars—done.

What’s working? What’s not? And what the top 1% are doing that the rest of the market hasn’t c...

When most people start winning, they throw their feet up, take a breath, maybe even post some self-congratulatory BS on LinkedIn. Not me. 

That’s exactly when I tighten the screws and ask, “Where are we slipping?” 

In this episode of The Boardroom Podcast, we break down what happens behind the scenes when we hit a growth spurt and why coasting is the fastest path to crashing.

We’re in a season wher...

What’s up fam. 

On this episode of The Boardroom Podcast I’m breaking down the secret AI hiring system we built to scale our team faster than ever.

February was rough. Like really rough. 

We lost accounts, the product broke in ways we didn’t expect, and we had to make some hard decisions on the team side. 

In this episode, we discussed what it actually looks like when things hit the fan, not just how we dealt with it, but how we made decisions under pressure without losing sight of the bigger picture.

Tikis and I also break down why we said no to Blue Chip for ...

SDRs and BDRs are about to be irrelevant. 

In this episode, I break down how AI tools like Charlie are taking over the front end of the sales process, qualifying leads with real financial data and moving them straight to the closer without friction. 

No more fake discovery calls, no more wasted time. 

Just sharp segmentation, fast decisions, and a sales flow that actually respects your calendar.

We also get into why ...

Yo, real talk - we need to address the elephant in the room that's killing your business. 

Everyone's out here talking about marketing and sales, but nobody wants to talk about what happens when your team isn't performing.

We’ve tried it all. DM ads, VSLs, webinars, challenge funnels, group commu...

Yo! What's up, everyone?

Back with another episode where we're getting REAL about something that's driving me crazy - watching good entrepreneurs destroy their businesses because they can't stop changing shit. 

Tikis and I have seen it all - from people nuking $20K/month funnels because some guru told them to, to entrepreneurs with "squirrel syndrome" chasing every shiny new strategy they see on YouTube.

...

Listen up - I'm coming at you solo today to break down something that's been on my mind.

We'll talk about why being truly obsessed with what you do isn't just some motivational BS - it's what separates the people making real money from those just playing business.

Here's the thing: I've watched t...

What's a good crew!

Back with my boy Tikis and we're getting REAL about what's been going down at Charlie. 

Like, straight up - our business just went from cruising to CRAZY in about 72 hours.

Truth is, we spent TWO WHOLE YEARS trying to figure out who tf we actually wanted as clients.
