Along the way, Molly reflects on the powerful roles family dynamics, honesty, and courage have played in her life. She shares how the pivotal “20 Seconds of Courage” mindset transformed her decision-making, and reveals how meticulous attention to sensory details and genuine empathy— “effective presence”—became the secret sauce that elevated her from server to sought-after host of billionaire poker tables. Molly also imparts hard-won lessons in resilience, parenting, and emotional intelligence, including techniques like cognitive reappraisal and value inventories that anyone can apply to amplify personal and professional success.

They’re not going to forget the way you made them feel.” Dwayne Kerrigan “20 seconds of courage.

Practice 20 Seconds of Courage: Before fear spins you out, commit just 20 seconds to take the leap—send the ask, make the call, pitch the idea. Cultivate Effective Presence: Focus on the emotional footprint you leave: genuine curiosity, empathetic listening (“listening to discover”), and small acts of service. Use Cognitive Reappraisal: When conflict arises, reframe instantly (“What else could this mean?”) to defuse negativity and maintain inner calm. Design for All Senses: In any client-facing situation—from podcasts to boardrooms—mind lighting, sound, scent, and novelty to create immersive, memorable experiences.

In this unfiltered second half of their conversation, Dwayne Kerrigan and Vaneli Martinov dive deeper into the mindset, systems, and soul behind exceptional operations leadership. Vaneli—EVP of Operations for the world-renowned Wellington International—opens up about what it really means to lead from the front lines: managing 500+ seasonal staff, navigating crisis in real-time, and mentoring a team while raising a family. From hiring with heart to dealing with "energy vampires," from picking up trash alongside the CEO to gamifying motivation in a 16-week event sprint, this episode is a masterclass in human-centered leadership. She doesn’t hold back on the pressures, pivots, and personal sacrifices that come with the job—but also shares the mindset shifts, values, and rituals that keep her grounded and inspired. Timestamps: 00:00 – The true nature of operations: structure in chaos 01:30 – From intern to executive: building your network with humility 04:15 – Work ethic, boundaries & the generational shift in expectations 07:00 – AI, the future of education, and what’s changing fast 10:00 – Adapting to AI: how Vaneli's team is preparing 12:00 – Company counselor: when leadership means emotional availability 15:00 – Empowering your team instead of enabling dependency 17:30 – Spotting energy drainers and culture mismatches 18:30 – What it actually takes to get fired by Vanelli 20:00 – Why most problems are rooted in miscommunication, not incompetence 21:00 – Building better onboarding, systems, and structure 23:00 – Hiring 600+ people in 3 months: inside the chaos 24:30 – Culture, compensation & the shift from scrambling to stability 25:45 – How gamification, incentives & recognition drive retention 28:00 – When your CEO leads by example (and picks up trash) 30:00 – Leadership on the ground vs. from the tower 33:00 – What Saturday nights with 10,000 people look like 35:00 – Vanelli’s operational bumper sticker: Hustle, pivot, repeat 37:00 – Fear vs. courage in leadership 39:00 – How motherhood redefined her priorities and definition of fear 42:30 – Business as a gladiator sport—and a spiritual journey 44:00 – Why leadership reflection is crucial for sustainable growth 45:30 – How to get in touch with Vaneli Key Takeaways & Resources: 1.

Hiring 500+ Staff? Culture Is the Glue They’ve moved from scrambling to stability through better pay, returning managers, incentive programs, and weekly recognition rituals. Culture wins over resumes. 3. Operations = Chaos + Calm You can plan all you want, but execution is where the real work begins. Flexibility and adaptability are key to thriving in operations. 4. Don’t Confuse Fear with Failure Vaneli explores the difference between being fearless and being courageous. She still feels fear—but leads with action anyway. 5. Modern Leadership = On-the-Ground Leadership Their CEO leads by example, works beside the crew, and gets real-time feedback from front-line staff. Leadership isn’t about distance—it’s about presence. 6. AI Is Coming for Admin—Not Empathy While they’re just starting to adopt AI tools, Vaneli acknowledges its potential for operations—but believes people will always be at the core of execution.

Leadership Is Earned Through Action She models respect by showing up in the trenches. From hauling trash to handling investors, no job is beneath her—and that credibility compounds. 3. Early Career: Hustle + Humility Wins What set her apart wasn’t grades—it was drive. Her advice to young professionals? Show up curious, proactive, and willing to do anything. 4. Learn to Anticipate, Not Just React Whether managing elite clientele or massive operations, success lies in predicting needs and solving problems before they arise. 5.

Then choose your channels.” – Swish Goswami “PR won’t convert on its own. But what can you do with PR? That’s the strategy.” – Swish Goswami “The beauty of life is mystery. If there was a button that told me what I’d be doing at 40, I’d never press it.” – Swish Goswami Resources & Mentions: Parallel Studios – Explore the sci-fi universe built on original IP, comics, and gaming The Young Entrepreneur – Co-authored by Swish Goswami Pangea – Hire vetted marketing freelancers and contractors AppsFlyer – Mobile attribution platform used for tracking campaigns GetLeverage.com & Fiverr – Tools for scaling with freelance support Key Takeaways: Great marketing doesn’t start with channels—it starts with understanding your user and working backwards from your business goals.

Community feedback is gold—but it’s your job to decide how and when to listen. Data is powerful, but transparency, consent, and compensation are the future of ethical data use.

It’s how I get my freedom.” — Jaime McKenna Key Takeaways & Resources: Jaime’s story shows that a successful life and career can be built without family wealth or connections — but it takes relentless discipline. Massive transformation begins with small, consistent steps — not instant miracles. Jaime outworked, out-disciplined, and outlasted many who may have started with more. The most effective leaders are those willing to show their human side. Jaime’s breakdown after her mother’s death led to a breakthrough that reshaped her approach to leadership.

They challenge leaders to rethink productivity, wealth distribution, and their own growth mindset in a time of instability.

Notable Quotes “Imposing a tariff isn’t tax revenue. It’s a tax on your people. And I don’t think Canadians can bear more taxation.” — Karl Tabbakh “Business leaders now need a new set of skills they didn’t think they’d need. Understanding geopolitics is no longer optional.” — Karl Tabbakh “We’re not in the good old days—but we are in the best time in history. The challenge is seeing it through the noise.” — Karl Tabbakh “Growth lives in uncertainty. As business leaders, we need to stop looking for safety and start preparing for opportunity.” — Dwayne Kerrigan “You can’t catch a falling knife. But you can be ready for when it hits the floor.” — Karl Tabbakh Key Takeaways & Resources 1. Tariffs Are Hidden Taxes on the People Don’t be fooled—tariffs may sound like strategy, but they land hardest on end users. Inflationary effects and economic drag are real. 2. Program Spending Without Productivity Is a Dangerous Illusion Canada must generate more wealth before it promises more social services. Creating programs is easy. Funding them is the hard part. 3. The Somewhere vs. Nowhere Divide Is Widening Karl shares Stephen Harper’s “Two Canadas” concept. Global elites share more in common with each other than with their neighbors. That gap threatens unity and trust. 4. Business Leaders Must Think Politically—Now Today’s leaders need to track geopolitics, elections, and economic policy the way they track revenue and operations. Your business is no longer immune. 5. Recession Risks Are Real—But So Is Opportunity Capital is sitting on the sidelines. Prepare now with strong balance sheets, smart partnerships, and scenario planning. Be ready to move when clarity returns. 6. We’re Living in the Best Time in History—Despite the Headlines Perspective is everything. Health, connectivity, longevity, and access to knowledge have never been better. But fear sells more than facts.

[00:40:00] – Why Canada must rethink its overreliance on one trade partner [00:52:00] – The hard truth about energy, natural gas, and global climate equity [01:03:00] – The upcoming Canadian election: What voters need to be asking [01:11:00] – Vision, will, and resources: Three pillars for Canada’s next leader [01:15:00] – Final thoughts: Canada’s opportunity to punch above its weight again About Karl Karl Tabbakh is a lawyer, a business leader and a strategic advisor with over 20 years of international business experience.

We’re saying the rules are changing—and business can’t afford to ignore that.” – Karl Tabbakh “The future belongs to those who can see the world through more than one lens.” – Karl Tabbakh Key Takeaways & Resources 1. Five-Year Framework for Career Clarity Discussions on view your professional growth in 3–5 year increments. If you're not growing or being challenged, it may be time to pivot. 2. Global Perspective is a Strategic Advantage Living, not just traveling, in different cultures gives professionals the multi-angle lens needed for today’s complex challenges. 3. A Shifting World Order Demands Adaptation Post-WWII rules of sovereignty and treaty-based certainty are being challenged. Businesses relying on geopolitical stability must rethink their risk. 4. Energy Policy Must Balance Morality and Realism Karl challenges ideological energy policy, urging a globalist view that supports cleaner transitions for developing nations. 6. Voters Must Demand Vision, Not Just Opposition As Canada approaches an election, the critical question isn’t who can stand up to Trump—but who can chart a sustainable, strategic path forward.

In this bonus Q and A, Jeni Hott sits down with longtime friends to unpack the evolution of online entrepreneurship—from the early days of AOL chat rooms to today's AI-powered marketing tools. Jeni breaks down the four major business models she’s worked in, why she avoids ads (still!), and how she builds evergreen, automated systems that run themselves for months at a time.

Alan shares the three key pillars of success —mastering fundamentals, balancing confidence with humility, and focusing on the process over outcome. He also introduces the "Next Play Mentality" , a game-changing mindset that helps high performers stay locked in, bounce back from setbacks, and consistently improve. If you're struggling with execution , overcomplicating success , or letting past failures hold you back , this episode is packed with practical takeaways to help you move forward and level up. Timestamps & Key Topics: [00:00:00] Setting Big Goals Without Fear of Failure Alan shares why he sets ambitious goals and is okay with missing them How to reframe failure as a learning opportunity [00:02:00] The 3 Pillars of High Performance 1️ Mastering the Fundamentals – Why the best never get bored with the basics 2️ Confidence + Humility – Earn confidence through preparation, but stay coachable 3️ Process Over Outcome – Stop obsessing over goals; focus on small daily actions [00:06:00] Complexity Undermines Execution Why making things too complicated leads to inaction How simplifying habits (like a 15-minute walk) can lead to massive transformation [00:12:00] Why People Struggle to Execute Simple Actions The comparison trap —why people set unrealistic goals How society sells complexity and why the basics aren’t monetizable [00:19:00] Want to Be Great? Do the Verb! The difference between wanting success and doing the work "If you want to be an author, you have to write." [00:32:00] The "Next Play Mentality" How elite athletes forget mistakes instantly and focus on execution Why carrying negativity from past failures hurts future performance How business leaders and entrepreneurs can apply this to sales, leadership, and daily decisions [00:37:00] Next Play on a Macro Level: Life Transitions Applying the next play mindset to career shifts, relationships, and setbacks Moving forward after adversity rather than dwelling on what’s lost [00:41:00] Final Thoughts & How to Connect with Alan Why listening is the most underrated skill in business & relationships Alan shares how to reach out to him directly Key Takeaways: Simplicity wins. Complexity kills execution —the best stick to the basics. Earn your confidence. Keep your humility . Preparation and self-discipline create real belief in yourself . Focus on the process. Small daily actions lead to long-term success . Next play. Stop dwelling on failures —focus on the next action that moves you forward. Want to be great? Do the work.
