  • Introducing Impact Moments: A Podcast for the EOS Community
    Feb 20 2026

    Mark Abbott sits down with Kris Snyder and Christine Watts to introduce Impact Moments, a new podcast from the team at Ninety, the EOS software platform companies have come to know, love, and trust for the past ten years.

    This show is all about the real stories that shape culture, build clarity, and test leadership. These are the turning points inside EOS sessions and quarterlies that reveal what teams actually believe.

    Created for EOS leaders, implementers, and teams, Impact Moments brings to life the moments that challenge alignment and strengthen culture when handled well.

    Why now?
    After years of working with more than 18,000 clients, the Ninety team wanted to share what they’ve seen up close. This podcast is a way to share those stories and support the broader EOS community.

    In this episode:

    • What an “impact moment” looks like in the room
    • Why EOS success depends on how teams handle truth and tension
    • How storytelling preserves culture and accelerates growth
    • What to expect from the new show and who it’s built for

    If you're running on EOS or helping others do it well, this is a podcast you’ll want to add to your queue. .

  • AI Doesn’t Replace Thinking. It Demands It
    Jan 30 2026

    AI is changing how we work, but not by replacing people. It’s raising the bar for how we think.

    In this Founder’s Framework episode, Mark Abbott explores what AI reveals about our habits, clarity, and decision-making. It doesn’t remove the need for good judgment. It makes the gaps more obvious.

    This isn’t about fear or hype. It’s about learning how to think with AI in the loop and what that means for founders, teams, and culture.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why founders are still responsible for making hard calls
    • How clear inputs lead to better AI outputs
    • What it takes to build thinking teams in an AI-driven world

    If AI feels destabilizing, it might not be the tech, but what it’s showing us about how we work.

  • What 2025 Taught Us About Leadership Under Pressure
    Jan 16 2026

    What happens when growth slows and leaders are forced to make decisions they hoped they could avoid?

    In this episode, Mark Abbott reflects on the hard lessons of 2025, a year that forced difficult decisions, exposed cultural misalignment, and pushed leadership maturity to the forefront. From navigating high care versus high performance to making one-way door decisions under pressure, this conversation breaks down what founders must confront when uncertainty reveals what is really happening inside the company.

    You’ll hear:

    -Why ambiguity strains teams more than most founders expect
    -What “succeed or escalate” looks like in real leadership moments
    -Why accountability, ownership, and meeting size matter more as you scale
