Charles explains what TrueSpace does to help companies that have moved past starting but haven't yet scaled, a group he says makes up 40% of the American workforce and rarely gets credit for their resilience.
The conversation covers how TrueSpace measures a company's capabilities using data built in partnership with the Gallup organization, why chasing high growth revenue can hold a business back, and why clarity on a company's direction matters more than fast expansion. Charles also shares practical advice for founders trying to figure out what to focus on first when there's more work to do than time to do it.

Dr. Daniel Lerman, an orthopedic oncologist at HealthONE Presbyterian St. Luke's, performed limb-sparing surgery to remove the tumor while trying to save Hunter's leg and his ability to walk.
Doctors told Hunter that contact hockey likely wasn't in his future. But a text from an old high school friend, now VP of Colorado Youth Sled Hockey, introduced him to a different version of the game he loved. Hunter and his mom, Heather Torbit, share how sled hockey gave him back the sport that had always been part of his identity.

- Everyone knows the advice: less screen time, more time outside. But what does that actually mean for kids' development? This Studio Twelve segment looks at why unstructured outdoor time matters beyond just fresh air and exercise.
Climbing a tree, balancing on a log, crossing a creek: these small, kid-led risks build resilience, independence, and decision-making skills in ways screen time can't replicate. Experts explain how outdoor free play helps kids test boundaries safely, make their own choices, and develop confidence, even in everyday spaces like a local park.
For parents wondering how to balance screen time limits with real developmental benefits, this segment breaks down the research and the reasoning behind why outdoor risk-taking, even something as small as climbing one more branch, plays a bigger role in child development than many people realize.
