You know that feeling when you look at your financials and something just seems off?

You can't quite name it, but you know the numbers aren't telling the whole story. Most leaders I talked to have been there. And here's the thing, it's not a you problem, it's a visibility problem.

Their vetted financial experts can handle everything from day-to-day bookkeeping to CFO level guidance and forecasting for your business, and it's fully customized to your unique needs. No long-term contracts, no offshore teams, no next available assignment. They personally match you to the right solution for your business, and if it's not right, they rematch you at no added cost. Right now, Belay has a free resource built specifically for leaders like you, The Financial Blind Spot Checklist. It helps you see exactly where your gaps are before they become costly mistakes.

I talk to entrepreneurs all the time, and they say, what's the most important decision I'll make? And I said, getting somebody on your team to take off things that you should not be doing. That is my single quickest and most relevant answer. Hey, welcome back to The Maxwell Leadership Podcast.

We have done over 430 episodes, and I promise you, I am getting ready to start what will be one of my favorite podcast episodes that we've done out of 430 And I'll tell you why.

We have created a podcast where John Maxwell, one of the greatest sought after leadership experts, delivers content every single week. And so every single week we have a content aspect to this podcast. But then we made a decision, 430 plus episodes ago, that we would give every podcast episode application. And I've gotten to sit in this chair and give application over 430 times to John Maxwell's content. But never before have I been able to show and demonstrate application to the content than I will be able to today. And that is because I am joined by Tricia Sciortino. She is the CEO of Belay. Now, many of you are wanting to pause the podcast right now and go ahead and say, What is Belay? Who is Tricia? And why is Mark so excited? And you can do that, but come back to the podcast, because not only is she going to show you how to apply John's lesson today, she is truly one of the most interesting CEOs that I get to interact with. We're a client of Belay.

They serve us and our human resource needs. They're incredible. They give us time back that we didn't have. But also, every time I spend time with you, Tricia, every time I go, I need more leadership conversations, quit putting a microphone in front of me, and let me get a notepad in front of me, because I want to lead like Tricia when I grow up. And I say that tongue in cheek, but I say that sincerely, because what she has done as the first employee of Belay, she goes way back, maybe none of your business, but she goes way back, because you got to be careful how you talk about age around here. But she goes way back over 10 years, or more than that, she has been the senior leader for 10 years, three years as COO, the last seven years since January 1st, 2020, she has been the CEO, and today, they now have over $100 million of revenue. But here's what's even more important.

Tricia and her team have placed over 15,000 teammates into 15,000 organizations in the last 15 years. And I'm staggered by that, Tricia. I'm staggered by that stat, I'm staggered by your leadership, and I'm super excited that we're going to get to hear from you in just a little bit. But thank you for being here.

Tricia Sciortino (4:14)

Thank you for the warm welcome, Mark. It is an honor to be having this conversation with you today.

Mark Cole (4:19)

Well, likewise, and that's because the team put this content in front of me that John did recently, saying how to get more done in less time. How to get more done in less time. Now, leaders, let me ask you a question. Every one of you podcast listeners will answer yes to what I'm getting ready to ask you. How many of you want to get more done? That's a leadership question, and that is a leadership response. You said yes, some of you gave some emphatic words before yes. Yes, yes, yes, we want to get more done. But let me put a little cherry on the top. How many want to get more done? Three words, in less time. And John is gonna give you 15 things right here that will help you get more done. But Tricia's gonna come back and give you application like you have never heard in any podcast before. So grab a pen, grab a paper.
