Jean-Michel also breaks down topics like shortening sales cycles with “foot in the door” offers, scaling SaaS and consulting companies, using Meta ads for B2B growth, and why founder mindset is often the biggest obstacle to success.

The Freedom to Be Yourself: My Conversation with Amy Bruske of Kolbe Corp
In this episode of Noob School, I sit down with Amy Bruske, President of Kolbe Corp, to explore how understanding your instinctive strengths—what Kolbe calls your “doing” mind—can transform the way you lead, hire, and work. I share how discovering the Kolbe Index early in my career helped me stop blaming my team and start building the right one, ultimately playing a key role in scaling my business.
We break down why success isn’t just about personality or intelligence, but how you naturally take action. From building a hiring “avatar” and matching people to roles, to recognizing different sales strengths and even reframing procrastination as a productive instinct, this conversation is packed with practical insights. Whether you’re leading a team or figuring out your career path, it’s about finding where you create the most value with the least friction—and giving yourself the freedom to be yourself.
