In this episode, Omar Abdullah chats with Akash Amin, Director at MorrisAnderson. Akash started his career in forensic accounting consulting where he worked with fortune 100 clients including Chipotle and Disney. Looking for a change, he ventured into M&A during the downturn of the oil market in 2015-2016. This work led Akash to start his own consulting firm serving startup companies in Austin. After selling this business, he zigged once more with a desire to work with larger clients at MorrisAnderson. 

You wouldn’t think a conversation about balance sheets and forecasts would lead to a warm discussion about people. But, turning around a business is most impactful with in-tune senior management. As with many industries, successful outcomes are fostered by a strong connected culture.

That and more on this episode of Outsourced.

In this Episode of Outsourced, Omar and guest of the show Anthony Lancianese make the case for keeping the human touch in tech automation. While data certainly provides insights to make decisions, leaning on AI too heavily can stifle creativity. Collectively, we’re missing the human!

Anthony is currently the Director of Sales and Marketing with New Leaf Homes. But his journey didn’t start there! His diverse background in a variety of positions gives him a unique perspective as a leader. From early beginnings as a home health equipment delivery driver to starting and selling businesses, he attributes his success to experiencing each rug of the ladder.

Anthony has three key takeaways. Lead with curiosity. Lower your shield. And don’t look to a spreadsheet for your answer to a human problem.

In this Episode of Outsourced, Omar waxes philosophical with guest Nicole Kurtz, Founder of Aducate Digital. The “long time pre-pandemic” buddies engage in a Foucault-style discussion on the current state of marketing. The rise of pay-per-click ads and AI generated content is creating a simulation of what people actually want rather than solving the problem. How do you effectively cut through the noise with your marketing strategy on a limited budget? Listen to learn more!

Aducate Digital’s mission is to educate small business owners in advertising strategies. Nicole works with owners in growth mode who find themselves at a crossroad. With limited resources and time, Nicole guides small business owners to a new level of success. As owners scale beyond word-of-mouth marketing, they’ll need to let social media do the talking. How does a business owner maintain their integrity when entering the marketing world designed to overwhelm its audience? Find out on this episode of Outsourced.
