  • How to Speak Like a Leader | Executive Coach Bill Smartt

    How to Speak Like a Leader | Executive Coach Bill Smartt
    Jul 1 2025
    Ever feel that rush of panic before a big presentation? What if you could command any room with total confidence, not because you were "born with it," but because you learned the code? This episode is a masterclass in exactly that. Meet Bill Smartt. After a career as a classically trained actor, he became one of the most sought-after executive coaches, fixing the #1 thing that holds leaders back: poor communication. He's the secret weapon for executives at Citibank, Deloitte, Harvard Business School, and the United Nations. In this deep-dive conversation, Meny Hoffman sits down with Bill to uncover his playbook for turning nervous speakers into powerful communicators, building unshakeable presence, and using simple frameworks to make any message land with impact. You'll discover: 👉 The #1 mistake 99% of people make when they present (and how to fix it instantly). 👉 An "Actor's Trick" to turn speaking FEAR into genuine, unshakable confidence. 👉 A simple 3-part framework to structure any talk perfectly, so you're never at a loss for words. 👉 The uncomfortable exercise that is the fastest path to improving your executive presence. 👉 Why being a "natural" speaker is a MYTH, and how you can learn this skill starting today. If you're a founder trying to inspire your team, a leader tired of being misunderstood, or anyone who wants to speak with clarity and confidence, this conversation is essential listening. 👉 Subscribe for more deep-dive conversations with real builders and leaders. – 🎥 Watch & Connect: 🔗 Listen to the Full Episode Here: [Your Full Episode Link] 🎯 Book a Clarity Session with Meny Hoffman: https://calendly.com/ptex/60-minutes-strategy-meeting-clone 📲 More Let's Talk Business Episodes: https://ptexgroup.com/podcast-main/ 📲 Instagram (@ltbhub): https://www.instagram.com/ltbhub/ 📲 LinkedIn (Let's Talk Business): https://www.linkedin.com/company/letstalkbusinessltb/ 📲 Facebook (The LTB Podcast): https://www.facebook.com/TheLTBpodcast 📲 WhatsApp Status Updates: https://wa.me/message/IQYNZFUYS443A1 📲 Join the LTB WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EKcdMc4qeZm7AL3VtcTY6T – 🔗 Episode Links (Bill Smartt): 👤 Connect with Bill Smartt on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/billsmartt 🏢 Learn More About Bill's Coaching: https://www.billsmartt.com 🎁 Special Offer: Mention the podcast for a FREE Team Tune-Up session with Bill. 📩 For Promotions & Inquiries (LTB Podcast): https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=13474518368&text=Hi - 💡 Practical Pointers from this Episode (Meny Hoffman's Takeaways): 1. Communication is a Teachable Skill. It's not a personality trait. Skills like pausing, controlling your tone, and managing your energy can be practiced and mastered by anyone, not just "naturals." 2. Record Yourself. The Camera Doesn't Lie. This is the fastest path to self-awareness. You’ll instantly see your filler words, nervous gestures, and energy levels, which is the quickest way to begin improving. 3. Use the "Past, Present, Future" Framework. For instant clarity in any situation, structure your communication this way: provide the Past (context), explain the Present (the current situation), and outline the Future (the desired outcome or next steps). 4. Connect Before You Present. Don't just jump into your slides. Start by listening to your audience first. When people feel heard, your message lands with far greater impact. 5. To Manage Nerves, Manage Your Breath. Your breath is the best physical tool to counteract a fight-or-flight response. Before any stressful presentation, take a moment for deep, controlled breathing to ground yourself and lead with calm control. – Episode Timestamps: 00:00 - Teaser: Bill Smartt's key soundbites on communication 01:21 - "Let's Talk Business" Podcast Intro 01:34 - Host Meny Hoffman introduces the episode and guest, Bill Smartt 03:04 - Meny asks Bill about his journey into communication coaching 05:12 - Bill explains his "What, How, Mindset" coaching framework 06:31 - The difference between formal presentations and general leadership communication 08:51 - The root cause of poor communication in organizations 10:32 - The importance of connecting with your audience and listening 13:41 - Ad Break: Clarity Sessions 14:44 - Topic: The difference between "Public Speaking" and "Presenting" 17:48 - How introverts can become powerful communicators 22:08 - Why you must simplify your message to be effective 25:21 - The "Past, Present, Future" Framework for structuring any talk 27:40 - The importance of practicing out loud 32:07 - Meny Hoffman's summary and takeaways begin 49:27 - Outro: "That's my conversation with Bill Smartt.

What do you learn at the highest levels of investing that can be applied to solving messy, real-world problems? This episode is a masterclass in exactly that. Meet Daniel Schoenbrun. After a 13-year career at institutions like Michael Dell's family office and a $73B hedge fund, he walked away to fix one of the most broken parts of healthcare. He founded Exceptional, a fast-growing software company that is making waves by solving problems most founders would never even see.

Fix real problems, not trends. Daniel built Exceptional not to chase tech, but to solve a broken process in real people's lives. The market rewards clarity. 2. Ask "where's the friction?" Every manual task, especially in legacy industries like healthcare, is an opportunity for software. Start by asking what slows people down. 3. Complexity is the enemy of adoption. Daniel focused on making the product so simple and intuitive that everyone could use it. That's what makes it scalable. 4. Choose your early clients carefully. Instead of chasing everyone, Exceptional picked early adopters who wanted to innovate with them. That feedback loop made all the difference. 5. Your job as CEO is to create clarity. In a fast-growing company, confusion spreads quickly. Daniel's main job is to keep everyone aligned on what matters most. – ⏱️ Key Episode Moments (Timestamps): 1:34 – Welcome Daniel Schoenbrun, CEO of Exponential 2:56 – Daniel's Journey: From a $73B Hedge Fund to Startup Founder 7:29 – The Real Difference: VC vs. Private Equity vs. Hedge Funds 10:10 – A Founder's Warning: The Hidden Dangers of Taking VC Money 13:11 – The Problem He's Solving: Fixing Healthcare's Broken & Messy Backend 16:12 – Transferable Skills: How High-Finance Experience Built a Tech Company 20:07 – The "PMF First" Rule: Why Product-Market Fit is Everything 23:04 – The Mom Test: How to Find Real, Quantifiable Customer Pain 27:22 – Building an Elite Team: Daniel's "Drivers vs. Passengers" Framework 33:31 – The Right Time to Raise Money for Your Startup 45:38 – Key Lesson from a Billion-Dollar Org: Radical Transparency & Teamwork 48:01 – Rapid Fire Questions with Daniel 48:42 – Meny Hoffman's Final Key Takeaways

  • What Every CEO Learns Too Late | Feat. Tzvi Schwartz

    What Every CEO Learns Too Late | Feat. Tzvi Schwartz
    Jun 16 2025
    Does your business feel like it's growing faster than you can control? Are you constantly putting out fires, frustrated that your team isn't on the same page, and feeling like the vision in your head is getting lost in translation? If you're running a business that's grown fast but now feels messy and chaotic, this episode is your intervention. Meet Tzvi Schwartz. He knows this struggle intimately. He started as an electrician and built his own contracting company with over 100 employees, experiencing all the chaos that comes with rapid growth. After selling his company, he discovered the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and became so adept at it that he helped the company he joined scale by an incredible 400%. In this masterclass on operational excellence, Meny Hoffman sits down with Tzvi to break down the systems and mindset shifts that transform business chaos into clarity, accountability, and scalable success. You'll discover: 👉 Why businesses often hit a "danger zone" around 8-10 employees and start to lose control. 👉 The "GWC" formula (Gets It, Wants It, Capacity) for getting the right people in the right seats. 👉 How a simple system can get your entire team rowing in the same direction (and why most leaders fail at this). 👉 The crucial difference between motivation (a short-term push) and inspiration (the real key to avoiding team burnout). 👉 The "Raft Analogy" – a powerful lesson on why the very things that made you successful can now be holding you back. If you're a leader tired of the chaos and ready to build a company that can thrive without you being in the middle of everything, this conversation provides a clear, actionable playbook. 👉 Subscribe for more no-nonsense advice to help you learn, grow, and lead. – 🎥 Watch & Connect: https://youtu.be/XWM5yWvuwqU?si=AzKu46VPXGxZWi0T 🎯 Book a Clarity Session with Meny Hoffman: https://calendly.com/ptex/60-minutes-strategy-meeting-clone 📲 More Let's Talk Business Episodes: https://ptexgroup.com/podcast-main/ 📲 Instagram (@ltbhub): https://www.instagram.com/ltbhub/ 📲 LinkedIn (Let's Talk Business): https://www.linkedin.com/company/letstalkbusinessltb/ 📲 Facebook (The LTB Podcast): https://www.facebook.com/TheLTBpodcast 📲 WhatsApp Status Updates: https://wa.me/message/IQYNZFUYS443A1 📲 Join the LTB WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EKcdMc4qeZm7AL3VtcTY6T – 🔗 Episode Links: 👤 Connect with Tzvi Schwartz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tzvischwartz/ 🏢 Tzvi's Company Website: https://www.mythrivability.com 🌐 EOS Worldwide (Find an Implementer): https://www.eosworldwide.com 📘 Book That Inspired Tzvi ("Good to Great"): https://amzn.to/444OFoz 📩 For Promotions & Inquiries (LTB Podcast): https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=13474518368&text=Hi – 💡 Practical Pointers from this Episode (Meny Hoffman's Takeaways): 1. Growth without structure burns people out. Tzvi learned the hard way. You can grow fast, but without systems, it just creates chaos. You need structure if you want to scale and stay sane. 2. Most owners wait too long to fix things. The signs are always there: overwhelm, frustration, turnover. But many owners ignore them. Tzvi says face them early, and things won’t fall apart later. 3. The right team makes or breaks growth. It’s not just about hiring “A-players.” It’s about putting people in the right seats and holding them accountable to clear expectations. 4. EOS isn’t magic, it’s discipline. The system works, but only if you work it. Tzvi shared how weekly meetings, scorecards, and vision alignment completely changed their results. 5. You can actually enjoy your business again. If you’re constantly in the weeds, there’s a better way. Tzvi helps owners to step up, lead better, and get back to the parts they love. – ⏱️ Key Episode Moments (Timestamps): 1:50 – Meet Tzvi Schwartz: From Electrician to EOS Implementer 3:01 – Tzvi's Entrepreneurial Journey & Building a 100+ Employee Business 4:27 – The Turning Point: Discovering EOS & Scaling a Company 400% 8:00 – What is EOS?
