How To Partner With Your Biggest Competitor And Crush It Together with Liselle Regueiro DeGrave and Rachel Dickman

7/21/2025
What if your biggest competitor could be your greatest ally? This week, Michael is joined by Liselle Regueiro DeGrave of DeGrave Communications and Rachel Dickman of RMG Communications, two PR firm owners who have thrown out the traditional rulebook. Instead of merging or competing, they operate under a unique model they call "collabetition," running their own successful firms while strategically collaborating on major projects. They share their individual journeys from the burnout of corporate and government work to the freedom of entrepreneurship, and how a decade-long professional relationship built on trust became the foundation for their innovative partnership. Liselle and Rachel get into the nuts and bolts of how they make this unconventional model work. They reveal that by maintaining separate companies, they lower their financial risk and retain their unique brand identities, all while presenting a united, more powerful front to clients. This approach transforms the high-stakes, often cutthroat, world of government RFPs into a win-win scenario. They detail their process for jointly evaluating opportunities, leveraging their combined networks, and sharing costs and profits, proving that true collaboration can create a pie big enough for everyone. They also discuss the nuances of value-based pricing, navigating complex hiring laws like California’s AB5, and the critical importance of outsourcing to reclaim time and focus on growth. In this episode, you will learn about: The "collabetition" model for flexible, low-risk growth. The key to making business collaborations work. How to structure joint proposals and share profits. How to qualify government contracts and avoid wasting time. How to price for value, not just billable hours. Navigating tricky hiring laws (like CA's AB5) when scaling. Why outsourcing is crucial for buying back your time. Welcome to the Consulting Success podcast. I'm your host Michael Zipursky, and in this podcast, we're going to dive deep into the world of elite consultants where you're going to learn the strategies, tactics and mindset to grow a highly profitable and successful consulting business.

Use This AI "Teammate" Method To Justify 30% Higher Consulting Fees with Michel Fortin

7/7/2025
Welcome back to the Consulting Success podcast. I'm Michael Zipursky, and today, we are continuing our exploration into a force that's not just changing how businesses operate, but really how we as consultants need to think and adapt. And yes, that is AI - artificial intelligence. I'm pleased to say that we have Michel Fortin joining us again. Our last conversation on AI, I know, was valuable and helpful, insightful maybe. So we're going to pick up where we left off. We're going to explore some new ground. We're going to look at, you know, how all this applies to you as a consultant or in the world of consulting. And just to reiterate a point that I think is really important, we're not suggesting that you as a consultant need to become an AI specialist. That's not the goal, but what we do believe is that every single consultant needs to get a handle on what AI is, what AI can do, how it's going to affect your work, how it's going to impact your clients and the marketplace and the landscape that they work in. So from content creation to streamlining your operations and beyond in terms of your client and the industries that you serve, today we're going to get into some really interesting areas. We're going to start by looking back at an idea from John Naisbitt when he talked about this concept of "high tech, high touch" and then see how it mirrors what's actually happening today in AI. And then as technology, right, becomes more advanced, what does it actually mean for our need for genuine human connection? And then we're going to talk about how AI is shifting the goalposts for things like trust and authority, especially when it comes to the content that we create. And Michel has some thoughts on how Google's E-A-T - so that's E-A-T - that framework of expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness, is evolving into what he calls E-A-T 2.0, which stands for empathy, authenticity, and transparency. So we're going to unpack that and what it means for consultants. And as always, we want to make this very practical. So how can you use AI to be more efficient? And how can you actually use this to be more effective in your consulting work? How do these blend together, right? These powerful tools, how can you use that in your own unique way, and how can you bring the human experience? How can you bring in and leverage AI within your area of expertise, regardless of where that is and where in the world that you are and the work that you do? So if you're looking to get a clear picture on how to navigate the AI landscape and position your consulting practice for the future, then you're in the right place.

This is the Easiest Way To Use AI As A Consultant with Michel Fortin

6/9/2025
Is AI coming for your consulting gig or is it the sharp new tool that could actually give you an edge? Today, Michael chats with Michel Fortin, Head of Growth at Consulting Success, and they get real about all this AI buzz. Michel has seen plenty, working with big-league companies on their tech, seven-, eight-figure outfits. He believes the whole "AI will replace consultants" thing is probably overblown, but - and it's a big but - consultants just sticking their heads in the sand about AI might be in for a rude awakening sooner than they think. Michel and Michael really break down this idea. It's not about AI wiping out consulting altogether, it's more about AI sidelining the consultants who don't get with the program. They talk about that human touch - the creative leaps, understanding people’s messy problems. AI isn't there yet, not even close, but here’s the kicker: thinking AI is just some passing trend is a really bad idea - you could get left in the dust. Michel puts it plainly: "AI will not replace consultants; consultants who know AI will replace consultants." Simple as that. In this episode you will learn about: Why your human smarts and intuition are still gold, and how AI is here to reshape consulting, not scrap it.The real pitfall: not AI itself, but consultants sleeping on how quick AI is changing the game.Using AI smartly across your business – from finding clients to getting work done.The big shift: treating AI like a new team member for faster turnarounds and sharper results.Working through AI's blips and quirks with steady, clear feedback.The RACES method for getting AI to give you what you actually want, plus using AI to fine tune your requests.Figuring out AI’s ripple effects – for your clients and for your own consulting shop.Keeping your practice ahead of the curve with guidance like that offered in Clarity Coaching.

Is Your Expertise Killing Your Consulting Deals with Scott Curran

5/26/2025
How does a seasoned corporate lawyer and former General Counsel for a global foundation transition from a world of high-stakes legal and philanthropic work to building a specialized social impact consulting firm - all while initially harboring deep skepticism about the consulting industry itself? Scott Curran, Founder and CEO of Beyond Advisers, shares his nine-year journey from in-house counsel, where he saw many consultant relationships go awry, to creating a thriving practice that now operates almost entirely on retainer and 100% through word-of-mouth referrals. Scott reveals the pivotal moments and mindset shifts that propelled him forward, from confronting imposter syndrome to his early client acquisition strategy of scheduling daily breakfasts, coffees, and lunches for two straight weeks. He emphasizes the foundational lesson learned: "The most important thing I learned is to not overlook the importance of the beginner's mindset of your client... meet your clients where they are." Today, Scott breaks down his path, from the initial $2,500 project to developing a high-value, retainer-based model, and why "simplicity is at the core of everything I do." In this episode you will learn about: Scott’s move from corporate law/philanthropy to social impact consultingThe power of an "exquisite statement of work" and clear deliverablesOvercoming imposter syndrome: assessing risks, seeking advice, and planningScott’s 30-meeting networking strategy for early client acquisitionIdentifying the market gap for "fractional General Counsel" servicesBuilding a business on 100% word-of-mouth referrals over a decadeEvolving pricing: from a $2,500 first project to high-value retainersStructuring retainers with clear opt-out clauses to build trustChoosing fewer, higher-retainer clients over scaling into a large agencyBuilding a flexible team: core principals and "plug and play" specialistsLeveraging AI for research, like "Google on steroids."The value of a "beginner's mindset" for deeper client relationships Mentioned in this episode: Join an Elite Group of Consulting Founders in Montreal for Serious Growth Imagine being in a room where every other 6 or 7-figure consulting founder is as serious about growth as you are.

7-Figure Consulting Business With 1 Product with Phil Risher

4/28/2025
How can experience in corporate sales roles and a digital marketing side hustle become the foundation for a thriving 7-figure consulting firm? Phil Risher, founder of Phlash Consulting, shares his unique journey, which included running a personal finance blog, living in a converted school bus, and dramatically boosting a client's business before launching his own consultancy focused on home service businesses. Phil reveals the strategic thinking behind his service model and how he differentiates his firm.
