“How Leaders Create Luck” — TEDxPurdueU
David Mitroff, Ph.D., on the systems behind what looks like luck — the same thinking that anchors the Growth Scaling Method’s Orient phase. Watch it on TED.com.
Steven Lockhart speaks on scaling systems and operational discipline from a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt’s seat. Read the founder story on the about page.
Book us to speak
Talks and workshops for owner audiences.
The partners speak to associations, franchises, and industry groups. Topics map to the method — and we keep claims inside the FTC’s advertising guidance and back brand claims with the USPTO where relevant.
Fix the arithmetic first
Why most businesses have a scale problem, not a marketing problem — and how to price the gap between spend and result.
Press kit, headshots, and one-sheets are available on request — and any firm’s reputation is worth verifying on the Better Business Bureau. For neutral background on running a business, the SBA’s business guide is a solid start.
What should I do with this before booking an Assessment?
Use it as a low-commitment way to judge how we think. Watch the TEDx talk, read a founder bio, and see whether the ‘arithmetic over adjectives’ approach matches how you want to be advised. If it does, the Assessment is the next step — a paid, two-hour session that prices your model. The public work is the audition; the Assessment is where it gets applied to your numbers.
Can I book David or Steven to speak at my event?
Yes. Both partners speak to associations, franchise groups, and industry audiences, in person and virtually. Talks map to the method, so an audience leaves with a framework they can use, not just motivation. Send the date, audience, and topic through the contact page and we’ll confirm fit and availability. We’re selective about dates, so earlier notice helps.
Is there a press kit or media one-sheet?
Yes, available on request. It includes partner bios, high-resolution headshots, approved talk titles, and topic angles for producers and editors. We keep media claims inside FTC advertising guidance, so what you see in the kit is what we can stand behind on the record. Request it through the contact page and tell us your outlet and deadline.
What topics do the partners cover?
Three core themes, all drawn from client work. David covers buyer psychology and how leaders create repeatable luck; Steven covers scaling systems and operational discipline; together they cover fixing the model before spending the budget. Each talk ties back to a phase of the method, so it’s practical rather than abstract. We’ll tailor the angle to your audience’s industry and stage.
Where can I watch the TEDx talk?
David Mitroff’s ‘How Leaders Create Luck’ was delivered at TEDxPurdueU and is available on TED.com. It’s the clearest single window into the thinking behind the Orient phase of the method. Watch it first if you want to understand how we frame opportunity as a system. Then the about page fills in the rest of the founder story.
