Building Businesses That Last: What Founders Should Prioritize in Today’s Infrastructure-Driven Market – Top Entrepreneurs Podcast

Jared Navarre, serial entrepreneur, systems strategist, and founder of Keyni Consulting joins Enterprise Radio. Jared launched his first IT company as a teenager and has since built, scaled, and sold multiple businesses across technology, services, logistics, and entertainment.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Jared Navarre discuss the following:

1. You’ve advised over 250 companies—what’s the most common system failures you see at the leadership level, and how does it quietly erode growth?
2. You’ve said that most companies don’t need more talent—they need better structure. What should great leaders be doing before they hire anyone?
3. We’re seeing a wave of layoffs justified by “AI integration.” What’s your take on how companies are using (or misusing) technology in today’s workforce?
4. You talk a lot about operational clarity. How does that show up in onboarding—and why do you say the first 30 days make or break team retention?
5. You’ve built immersive creative ventures like ZILLION while advising high-pressure boards. What’s your process for balancing visionary ideas with executional systems?
