What happens to your consulting business when clients believe that AI can do the work themselves? That's one of the biggest shifts Dan Bernoske is seeing firsthand, as many other consulting business owners are, as well. As the founder of Cortado Group, Dan helps private-equity-backed companies to accelerate revenue growth, and he is watching AI fundamentally change how clients buy consulting services. You likely are too. Well, in this episode, we explore why information alone is becoming less valuable and why clients increasingly want implementation rather than just another PowerPoint presentation or another deliverable, and how consultants can adapt their delivery to meet these changing expectations. Dan also shares why his two biggest competitors aren't other consulting firms, but clients choosing to do nothing or do the work themselves. If you're thinking about how to position your expertise, evolve your services, and stay relevant as AI reshapes consulting, this episode will give you plenty to consider. Enjoy it.

How do you enter an established market with no brand, compete against legacy firms, and build a consulting business that actually grows year after year? Tim Viands did it by going where the incumbents were weakest. After spending twenty-five years inside independent schools, Tim founded IndySchool Consultancy because he believed the traditional executive search model was adding burden for clients instead of reducing it.Rather than simply selling access to candidates, he built a more relational model around the work that happens before a candidate ever reaches the client. And so in this episode, you're going to discover how Tim found his initial market position, turned his methodology into a proprietary framework, and built a seven-person team capable of delivering beyond the founder. If you want to differentiate your expertise, systemize what you do, and create a consulting firm that can grow beyond you, you will enjoy this conversation. Welcome to the Consulting Success podcast.

There is a dangerous point in growing a business when you are making enough money to get comfortable, but not enough to truly scale. Cameron Hemphill has seen entrepreneurs get stuck there again and again. Instead of reinvesting to buy back their time, hire expertise, and build infrastructure, they protect their current income and unintentionally become the bottleneck. Cameron is a consultant, operator, and investor who has worked with hundreds of businesses and built a highly specialized company serving more than 1,200 medical aesthetics practices before successfully exiting. In this episode, you are going to discover why knowing your numbers may matter more than trusting your gut, how specialization can become a powerful competitive advantage, and why saying ‘no’ to the wrong opportunities is critical to building a scalable business. We also explore what AI means for consultants and why the people who combine technology with discipline, focus, and real-world expertise may have the biggest advantage going forward.

What happens when you spend $150,000 trying to win new business and then have almost nothing to show for it?
