• From Journalism to Sales Leadership: Creating Successful Outcomes - Hamish Knox | 10x Your Team Ep. #445
    Oct 12 2025

    Ever wondered why some sales conversations feel manipulative while others feel like genuine problem-solving? In this conversation with Hamish Knox, founder of Sandler Calgary, Cam and Otis explore the fascinating intersection of journalism, communication, and sales leadership.

    "Sales is communication and communication is sales," Hamish explains, revealing how his background in journalism shaped his approach to sales conversations. From discussing why it often takes three or more questions to get to the truth to exploring how to make buyers feel in control while still managing the conversation, this episode offers refreshing insights for anyone who communicates for a living (which is everyone).

    What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Hamish's perspective on successful outcomes. "A successful outcome does not mean we get the business all the time," he points out, sharing how sometimes the best result is connecting a prospect with someone else who's a better fit—a move that actually raises your credibility and leads to more referrals in the long run.

    Whether you're leading a sales team, growing a business, or just trying to communicate more effectively, Hamish's practical wisdom about creating interactions where everyone feels good about the outcome offers a refreshing alternative to traditional sales approaches.

    Hamish Knox - Founder, Sandler in Calgary
    Hamish Knox, a member of the global Sandler network, helps private organizations in Southern Alberta build scalable, consistent sales engines and motivated teams by driving accountability around proven systems and processes.

    With a background spanning media, communications, software, and professional sports, Hamish combined his passion for sales and education when he joined Sandler.

  • The Art of Making Strategic Asks - Dia Bondi | 10x Your Team Ep. #444
    Oct 5 2025

    Ever wondered what an auctioneering school could teach you about leadership communication? In this conversation with Dia Bondi, communications catalyst and author of "Ask Like an Auctioneer," Cam and Otis explore the fascinating connection between the rapid-fire world of auctions and the strategic art of asking for what you want.

    "You're basically learning to sell something in a minute and a half," Dia explains about her auctioneering training, revealing how this condensed transaction moment contains powerful lessons for business leaders. From the illusion of fast-talking (it's actually about breath manipulation) to the courage required to "show up big in big moments," Dia breaks down what makes truly clutch communicators effective.

    What makes this episode especially compelling is Dia's formula for making strategic asks. She outlines a four-part approach that moves beyond simply stating what you want to creating a compelling case that removes blockers and drives results. As she puts it, the best communicators "know who to ask, when to ask it, and what to ask for. And they're not low-balling themselves ever."

    Whether you're looking to improve your leadership communication, make more effective requests, or simply understand the psychology behind powerful asking, this conversation offers practical wisdom that might just have you stepping into your own "zone of freaking out" (ZOFO) – where the real growth happens.

    What makes this episode especially compelling is Deana's insight into controlling outcomes when you're dependent on 15 different vendors. "At first, it's kind of trial and error," she admits with refreshing honesty, before explaining how she developed a network of trusted partners who became "like an extension of our team."

  • When Leaders Don't Recognize Team Issues - Alex Cartmill | 10x Your Team Ep. #441
    Sep 20 2025

    Ever wondered why it's so hard to get business leaders interested in team wellness? In this conversation with Alex Cartmill, operator of Vibrant Yoga, Cam and Otis explore the fascinating intersection of wellness and business leadership.

    "If the leader doesn't have a personal issue, they're likely not going to recognize an issue in the team," Alex explains, revealing one of the biggest challenges in bringing yoga and wellness practices into corporate environments. From discussing how to "open the door" with skeptical executives to exploring what happens when team members discover their purpose (and sometimes leave), this episode offers rare insights into the human side of business wellness.

    The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Otis suggests "Hard Rock Yoga" as a potential way to break through to resistant clients—and Alex doesn't immediately dismiss the idea. There's a genuine exploration of how wellness practices need to meet people where they are, not where wellness professionals wish they would be.

    Whether you're a business leader curious about team wellness or a wellness professional trying to break into the corporate world, this episode offers practical wisdom about building bridges between these often-disconnected domains.

    More About Alex:
    Alex has been an entrepreneur his entire life and now runs a business as an operator for other growing organizations -- through both hands-on & advisory work. Alex is currently helping manage Vibrant Yoga, a corporate & private wellness company based out of Chicago. After a short stint as a Personal Trainer, Alex began managing a business development program and mentorship for health professionals, building a team of more than 10 and taking in over 6,000 students during his 4-year stint there. Since then, Alex has been managing businesses and projects for a variety of remote organizations, from General Manager of Personal Trainer certification body Fitness Mentors, to Director of Operations of marketing consultancy Forget The Funnel, to continuously growing and adapting his own business as an operator. Alex resides in Portland, OR, with his furry companion, Charlie.

  • The Human Side of Business Systems - Drew Lints | 10x Your Team Ep. #440
    Sep 12 2025

    Ever worked with a leader who treated everything as "urgent" until nothing felt important anymore? In this conversation with Drew Lints, founder of Revflow Growth Partners, Cam and Otis explore the human side of business systems and how the right tools can actually help leaders care for their people better.

    "At the end of the day, we want to accomplish the thing that I was so bad at early on—keeping track of everyone, making sure that they're cared for," Drew explains, revealing how his own leadership journey shaped his approach to CRM and business systems.

    From discussing the fine line between genuine urgency and manufactured pressure to exploring alternatives to expensive enterprise solutions like Salesforce and HubSpot, this episode offers practical insights for leaders looking to grow without losing the human connection. Drew shares how simple tools—even just an Excel spreadsheet with names and personal details—can transform how leaders engage with their teams and clients.

    Whether you're scaling a business, leading a team, or just trying to bring more intentionality to your work, Drew's approach to "efficiency creates clarity, and clarity unlocks growth" offers a refreshing perspective on how technology can enhance rather than replace human connection.

    More About Drew:
    I help organizations unlock growth by building smarter systems, clearer strategies, and more efficient workflows. As Founder & CEO of Revflow Growth Partners, I bring over 25 years of experience in coaching, consulting, and revenue leadership.

    My journey began in 1999, leading people, building teams, and driving mission-focused growth. Those years shaped my passion for aligning vision with strategy and creating systems that help people flourish.

    In 2023, I launched Revflow to scale that mission. Today, we design CRMs, automations, and growth systems that eliminate waste, create clarity, and drive lasting results. I also provide fractional CRO services, helping companies accelerate revenue and scale without the cost of a full-time executive.

    At my core, I believe efficiency creates clarity, and clarity unlocks growth.

  • Coffee with Purpose: The Renew Coffee Story - Hannah Stuart | 10x Your Team Ep. #438
    Sep 7 2025

    Ever had that moment where you knew you had to leap or you'd never do it? For Hannah Stuart, co-owner of Renew Coffee, that moment came after a farmer's market when she told her husband, "If we don't spend this money on an espresso machine, we're never going to do this."

    In this conversation with Cam and Otis, Hannah shares the journey of building a mobile coffee business that now serves luxury events nationwide. From turning down a sketchy "I'm leaving town, need to flip this" coffee cart offer to figuring out they can serve 80 drinks per hour at high-end events, her story is full of practical insights about starting small and scaling with intention.

    What makes this episode especially compelling is Hannah's perspective on purpose. "What we leave behind in this life is our business and our kids," she reflects, sharing how Renew Coffee became not just about serving great espresso but creating the best jobs for people who might be struggling with addiction or other challenges.

    Whether you're thinking about starting a business, wondering how to infuse purpose into your work, or just curious about what goes into those fancy coffee setups at events, Hannah's blend of practical business sense and heartfelt mission offers something genuinely refreshing.

    More About Hannah:
    I’m the co-owner of Renew Coffee, a handcrafted espresso bar and hospitality brand serving luxury events, corporate gatherings, and premium spaces nationwide.

    What began as a passion project with my husband has grown into a thriving business known for intentional service, house-made syrups, and experiences that feel personal, not transactional. From weddings and leadership retreats to wellness weekends and boutique venues, we bring warmth, quality, and presence to every event we serve.

    Today, we’re expanding into luxury resorts, residences, and corporate campuses worldwide, offering fully turnkey espresso bar activations and permanent espresso bar installations that elevate the guest experience without adding operational burden to your team.
    My background in business development fuels my commitment to creating meaningful connections and hospitality moments that leave a lasting impression.

    Outside of the business, I’m a mom, wife, and entrepreneur passionate about contributing to meaningful moments and giving back to our community.
