The AI-Native Builders Rewriting Marketing's Playbook
Send us Fan Mail Here's the thing about AI that nobody wants to admit: everyone's talking about it, but most people still can't tell you exactly how it's changing the game right now, today, in real and tangible ways. This episode fixes that. In this special edition of Liftoff Journeys, I'm bringing together four conversations with leaders who aren't just theorizing about AI.

Ashley Miles Had Everything the Corporate World Promises and Left to Build the Kind of Company Corporate America Can't Figure Out
Send us Fan Mail Ashley Miles is the kind of person who makes you want to go rethink your entire business strategy and then actually do something about it before the day is over. She walked away from the corporate world with all its resources, the big teams, the trade events, the ability to snap your fingers and mobilize, and built Franklin West from scratch. Self-funded. No VCs. No safety net. Just a bold vision and the relationships to back it up. This conversation gets into the stuff tha...

Francis Tesmer Built What Should Have Existed Decades Ago and Nobody Can Look Away
Send us Fan Mail There's an entire workforce out there, millions of women, who have been told for decades that their career has a ceiling. Francis Tesmer decided that was done. She didn't just talk about it, she built the first ever college degree pathway for beauty professionals in partnership with L'Oréal and then put over $1 million in scholarships behind it so that money would never be the reason someone couldn't walk through that door. Francis is back on Liftoff because every time we tal...

He walked into a restaurant to kill time for six months and got hooked. Like hook, line, and sinker hooked. N...

A Country Boy From Ohio Who Became an Award-Winning Architect: Paul Kozlowski's Journey
Send us Fan Mail I have been looking for someone who lives at the intersection of creativity and business strategy and Paul Koslowski is exactly that person. He's an award-winning architect and co-founder of Dunn Koslowski, a firm that's spent nearly 24 years creating spaces that don't just look beautiful, they make people FEEL something.
