About this episode

Beyond the Business creator Dave Rogers, is also known as ‘The Business Explorer’. He's a previous TEDx Speaker, an award-winning Business Consultant, Coach and Author. For 30 years, he's been using that curiosity to help businesses tackle challenges.

On top of that, Dave’s not your typical business consultant. Yes, he’s worked for big corporations. And yes, he knows how to turn lofty strategies into real, practical results. But what sets him apart is how he brings it all down to earth. He works alongside business owners, start-ups, and leaders to turn “what if” into “what’s next.”

Summary of Podcast

Introduction to Dave's new membership service

Kevin introduces the topic of Dave's new membership service for business owners, which Dave has been developing since his last appearance on the podcast about a year ago.

Identifying the target audience

Dave explains that the membership is aimed at business owners. You know, the ones who have built successful companies but are now feeling "stuck". Maybe their business is running them rather than the other way around. The goal is to help them find a different way of looking at their business.

The membership structure and tiers

Dave outlines the three-tiered structure of the membership. The entry-level provides self-reflection frameworks and tools, the middle tier offering group coaching and training, and the top "inner circle" tier providing more personalised one-on-one support.

Feedback and suggestions on the membership model

Graham and Kevin provide feedback and suggestions on the membership structure, including potentially removing the entry-level tier, increasing the pricing for the middle tier, and emphasizing Dave's personal involvement and expertise across all levels.

The role of AI and automation

The discussion turns to the role of AI and automation, with the group debating how to balance the use of technology with maintaining the human connection and expertise that Dave can provide.

Wrap-up and well-wishes

The participants wrap up the discussion, wishing Dave success with the launch of his new membership service and agreeing to stay in touch as he refines the offering.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
