Another Orange Morning - Jun 29, 2026
Hosts: Casey Hawkins, Chris Carolan, Joshua Oakes · Guest: Joshua Oakes
June 29, 2026
Monday does not need a fuller calendar — it needs the right conversation. Casey Hawkins, Chris Carolan, and friend Joshua Oakes open the week through a practitioner-host lens. Joshua hosts The Value Path, so he lives the methodology, not just talks about it. The episode leans into the Value Path as the spine — where a relationship actually is versus where activity assumes it is — and spotlights Stage 6 (Adopter), the under-tracked stage where real value gets created and most teams lose visibility. Two traps named plainly: the Leads Trap (chasing volume of contacts over readiness) and the Measurement Trap (the dashboard admired once and operated never). The through-line is valuable versus busy — Monday is the day everyone fills the calendar with motion; name the difference before touching a tactic. Close on the Four Conversations: which one each listener owes someone this week.
