My Strategy Squad
Strategizing skills, without the suits. A short, practical podcast that helps small business owners, startup founders and nonprofit staff get strategy done, one skill at a time.
Strategy isn't something you buy. It's something you do. We coach the doing.
Strategy isn't a forty-page plan, a vision statement or a stack of slides. It's the skill of working out what's really going on, choosing what you'll do and not do, bringing people with you, and knowing whether it's working. My Strategy Squad turns that into short episodes you can use on Monday morning, whether you run a one-person shop, a growing startup or a team inside a nonprofit.
Every episode covers one strategizing skill, with real stories, the best ideas from strategy research in plain English, and a question to try on your own situation. Many episodes come with a free game you can play in your browser, because the quickest way to learn a skill is to practice it somewhere safe.
No slides. No jargon. No invoice. Everything here is free.

My Strategy Squad
What's your strategy? (Trailer)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Quick question. What's your strategy? If you said a plan, a goal or "to grow", most of those answers aren't a strategy at all. Not even a bad one.
My Strategy Squad is free strategy coaching for small business owners, startup founders and nonprofit staff: the people who do it all, with no strategy department and no consultants. I'm Andrew David Roberts. I've run companies, been a partner in consulting firms and a director of nonprofits.
This show puts the human side of strategy first: how optimism, fear and uncertainty get in the way, and how to pause before you decide. One idea, one story from the trenches, one thing to try. About ten minutes, every Tuesday.
Episode 1 arrives Tuesday, November 3.
