Description

What if your real growth problem isn’t sales… it’s misalignment? In this episode of Living a Revenue Culture, Rick and Josh sit down with Jon Klein and Paul Sim to break down why organizations stall when teams don’t share language, don’t share reality, and try to “tool their way out” of chaos. 

You’ll hear why tools without a framework just automate chaos, how to make “alignment” measurable using diagnostics, and what it takes to build a Revenue Game Community where partners can help clients solve constraints as they move around the business. 

In this episode, we cover:

• Why “being great at the work” isn’t enough if you can’t transfer value (and get paid) 
  
• The difference between symptoms vs root cause (and why leaders often only see symptoms) 
  
• How clear process + shared language builds confidence and execution speed 
  
• Why community matters: “make new money” together, not protect silos 
  
• How SMEs can use AI to close the gap—when paired with structure 
  

👇 If you’re building a business, leading a team, or supporting clients as a consultant/partner, this episode will sharpen how you diagnose the real constraint—and align people to fix it.
