Allison Minutillo

Vibe. According to the dictionary, it’s a person's emotional state or the atmosphere of a place as communicated to and felt by others.

Technically, It’s intangible; but as working professionals, we all feel it and sometimes, see it. Interviewing candidates, especially in a Zoom world, is a difficult task. There are so many subtleties people give off that show who they really are and it’s the vibe they give off that’s most important — whether they know it or not, leaders are really interviewing for people and humans and potential, and then it’s about the role at hand.

On today’s episode, Bryn and Jen Tindall share years of experience and perspective around interviewing and vibe. It’s the first interaction business owners and HR leads have with prospective employees to start to understand who they truly are at their core.

The Finish Line
Apr 26, 2021
Allison Minutillo

One of our exceptionally talented new business development leads, Joe Martin, asked me a question the other day. It stopped me in my tracks. It was right after a company-wide meeting where we talked with 75 people about big picture themes and vision.

He said, “But Allison, what’s the end goal? How will we know we’ve reached it?”

He was on the verge of an ah-ha moment; one that would teach him to see life and work differently. That it’s not about hitting a certain number of employees or a revenue target or getting the next award….it’s about enjoying the small stuff, finding a way to power through the hard days, and appreciating the micro-moments on a human level.

Joe and I go deep about work and life and “the finish line” — and hopefully this episode allows you to pause, reflect, and embrace your next ah-ha moment.

Operations Overhaul
Mar 19, 2021
Allison Minutillo

Process. Operations. Two terms that sound so daunting — so heavy — so… boring. But leaders know that successful operations have the power to transform a business and people’s lives — customers, employees, and partners.

Mike Minutillo has been a leader in the auto body collision repair industry for more than 40 years. Now retired for 5 years, he had owned and operated Master Auto Body in southern Florida — a multimillion, three-location autobody business. Master Auto Body was recognized as one of the most efficient, if not the most efficient, collision repair facilities in the entire country by many of his direct-repair program (DRP) partners.

He also happens to be my father-in-law.

Mike and I talk in-depth about how implementing Toyota’s infamous Lean Six Sigma program completely transformed his business — tripling his bottom line and improving the lives of those who worked for and with him forever.

Listen. Reflect. And embrace your next ah-ha moment.

Hustle...Especially On The Hard Days
Mar 01, 2021
Allison Minutillo

Hustle. It's really the fuel that drives leaders forward when pursuing their vision, but it's hard to keep that energy up every day, especially on the hard ones.

Gurps Rai is the founder and CEO of Dropp. The company’s patented See It, Want It, Get It technology allows users to click on products within video and purchase it. Dropp has successfully launched its beta and the results have been tremendous.

His background is more than impressive — from being a prominent figure in the global Carbon Market to being an early investor in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to being the creator of the world’s most expensive piece of footwear to being intertwined in the hip hop and music industry — Gurps has always been a leader who strives towards making a positive impact on the world, and making those around him successful. It was his hustle on the hard days that led to the good ones.

The Winning Streak: Coach Assaiante's Perspective
Feb 08, 2021

You know the feeling when you’re in the thick of a winning streak? The pressure is on. The momentum is real. The emotions run high. As the leader in that situation, it’s a complex pressure cooker to keep it all together and to make sure complacency doesn’t get in the way of success.

Coach Paul Assaiante is joining Allison Minutillo on today’s episode of the Rebel Leadership Podcast. He’s the Men’s Squash and Tennis coach at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. No name school you might say to yourself? Think again — they are 17 time National Champions and during the thick of their winning streak, won 252 consecutive matches. That makes Coach Paul the winningest coach in college sports history.

We’ll get into personal stories about some of Coach A’s friends coach — like the infamous Coach K from Duke or Bill Belichick of the Patriots — all the way through the intricate moments of coaching college kids mid-championship match. The parallels to leadership are endless.

Let the Best Thinking Win
Jan 24, 2021
Allison Minutillo

When an organization is completely aligned and collaborating with each other towards a common direction and purpose — that's when the magic really happens. Leaders must persistently reinforce the best thinking and the best ideas, no matter where or whom they come from. Because when it's less about the pride of ownership of one's individual idea, and more about collective ownership of the best idea, innovation will be the norm.
Paul Pita, Rebel Interactive Group's Chief Branding Officer, and Craig Wilson, Rebel's VP of Marketing Strategy, explore the role rebel leaders play in drawing innovation out of their organization, allowing it to purvey their brand and culture.

Rebellious Thought Leadership: Hamlet Batista’s Road to Innovation & Success
Jan 08, 2021

Today we have the pleasure of talking to Hamlet Batista, the CEO of Ranksense. He has years and years of experience as a computer engineer and holds several US patents on innovative SEO technologies. Hamlet is a conference speaker, award-winning blogger, writing for numerous publications, including Moz, Search Engine Land, Entrepreneur.com, Quartz, and more.

He’s the trustest form of what it means to be a thought leader.

His story is extraordinary. Before gaining his US citizenship, he held an American EB-1 Genius visa. To get such a coveted visa is very difficult to win because the standard is so high. On today’s episode, Hamlet replays his story all the way back to seeing things differently in elementary school — and how that played a huge role in becoming a rebellious thought leader who immigrated to the United States with a vision.

Rand Fishkin on the 4-Letter Dirty Word: RISK
Dec 10, 2020
Allison Minutillo

Leadership can arguably be boiled down to two things: have great ideas, make exceptional decisions. But sometimes those decisions require taking risks. Risks are often associated with a negative connotation. It seems like you’re making a bold move that hasn’t been founded in data but when you really think about risks, sometimes it’s an emotional connection or need to do something different because all of the signs are pointing in that direction. There have been compelling lies fed to us as a society when it comes to entrepreneurship and risk-taking so in the spirit of the podcast, let’s smash ‘em.

Co-hosts Allison Minutillo and Jess Reilly have the pleasure of speaking with Rand Fishkin (Twitter @randfish), currently the co-founder and CEO of SparkToro and previously co-founder of Moz and Inbound.org. He’s dedicated his professional life to helping people do better marketing through his blogging, videos, speaking, and his book, Lost and Founder. When Rand’s not working, he’s most likely to be in the company of his partner in marriage and (mostly petty) crime, author Geraldine DeRuiter. If you feed him great pasta or great whisky, he’ll give you the cheat code to rank #1 on Google.

When Lives are at Stake: A Heart Surgeon’s Perspective on High-Performing Teams
Nov 24, 2020
Allison Minutillo

Rebel Leadership happens in the most unexpected places. We convinced a heart surgeon — yup, you heard it right — to talk to us about the inner-workings of leadership in the complex heart surgery operating room where patients' lives are at stake. We have the honor of speaking with Dr. Igor Gosev, one of four cardiac surgeons at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He’s a key opinion leader for mechanical circulatory support — in other words, he performs and educates nationally on his innovative surgical techniques in heart surgery.

Amy Quinlan, a Nurse Practitioner with years of experience specializing in heart failure, elaborates on the magnificent team dynamics in heart surgery.

Put Your Oxygen Mask On First
Nov 23, 2020
Allison Minutillo

Think back to when we used to fly on airplanes regularly. The flight attendant comes on and instructs you to put your oxygen mask on first, before assisting others. It's a pretty simple concept: if you run out of oxygen, you can’t help anyone else.

Being a leader is rewarding, challenging, and meaningful, but it can also be mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausting. On today’s episode of the Rebel Leadership Podcast, we’re talking to Ilana Traeger, a Certified Health Coach from The Institute of Integrative Nutrition. After years of battling painful symptoms and misdiagnosis from countless physicians, Ilana took her health into her own hands by learning to investigate and treat the root cause of symptoms to heal our bodies. She’s giving leaders a healthy dose of reality in this episode.
