  • The Outlier’s Edge – Why Going Against the Grain Wins
    Feb 10 2026

    Are you playing the game, or are you changing how the game is played?

    In this episode of Beyond The Title with Eric Booth we’re diving deep into the friction between "how it’s always been done" and the high-speed lane of modern efficiency. It’s easy to feel like an outlier when you’re the one pushing for streamlined processes or collaborative tools in a siloed environment—but being the outlier is often exactly what leads to the most extraordinary results.


    What We’re Covering:

    • The Collaboration Mindset: Why "gatekeeping" information is a career killer and how radical transparency accelerates your growth.
    • Efficiency vs. Tradition: How to navigate the pushback when your new, faster approach makes others uncomfortable.
    • Welcoming the New: Strategies for staying adaptable in a landscape that changes every time you blink.
    • The Propeller Effect: How small, efficient wins build the momentum needed to catapult your career past the status quo.

    Stop waiting for permission to be better. It’s time to pull the chute on outdated workflows and embrace the collaborative future.

    "Excellence isn't about fitting in; it's about being so efficient that the rest of the world has no choice but to catch up."

    Listen now and learn how to turn your unique approach into your greatest professional asset.

  • The Power of Replacing Yourself: Why Great Leaders Build Better Teams
    Feb 10 2026

    Send a text

    Are you afraid of being replaced, or are you actively working toward it?

    In this episode of Beyond The Title is joined by Katie VanderPutten to discuss a counterintuitive but essential leadership mindset: hiring people who can do your job better than you.

    Many leaders fall into the trap of "scarcity thinking," fearing that a highly talented hire might make them redundant. Jeff and Katie flip the script, exploring how:

    • Replacing yourself is the key to moving up: If you are the only one who can do what you do, you’re stuck.
    • The "Better Together" approach: How collaboration and diverse perspectives lead to results beyond your wildest imagination.
    • Efficiency through Design: Why seeking more efficient ways to work isn't just about the task—it’s about improving everyone’s day.
    • Staying Open-Minded: Embracing the fact that someone else’s "different" way of doing things might actually be the "better" way.

    Whether you're an entrepreneur or climbing the corporate ranks, this conversation will challenge you to look at your team not as subordinates, but as partners in building a more efficient and innovative future.
