| 6/21/26 |  The Summer Advantage: What Teacherpreneurs Should Build Before Fall | The school year may be ending, but the work of building a business doesn't stop. For teacherpreneurs, summer creates something rare: space. Space to think, plan, and improve the business while the pace of the school year slows down. But the lesson extends beyond teacherpreneurs. Every education business owner faces the same challenge: using quieter seasons to strengthen the business instead of simply reacting to it. In this live episode of EdSales Edge, Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales... | 33m 03s | ||||||
| 6/14/26 |  Stop Pitching: What Actually Gets a Superintendent’s Attention | The fastest way to lose trust is to try to earn it too quickly. That's a difficult reality for education companies. Dr. Jared Bloom sees it every day. As Superintendent of Franklin Square School District in New York, Jared receives hundreds of emails every day from companies trying to get his attention. Most never get a response. Not because the products are bad. Because that's not how trust gets built. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales Revenue Machine s... | 25m 46s | ||||||
| 6/7/26 |  Stop Building Alone: Why Community Changes Everything | A lot of education founders wear independence like a badge of honor. Figure it out yourself. Push through. Keep going. Until one day you're carrying every decision, every problem, and every hard conversation by yourself. That's usually when growth starts feeling heavier than it should. In this episode, Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales Revenue Machine and John Gamba, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Penn GSE talk about something most education founders underestimate: the impact of having th... | 31m 39s | ||||||
| 5/31/26 |  The Clarity That Came After the Pause: A Triple Bypass, a Forced Stop, and a Fresh Start for My Business. | Every education founder eventually hits a point where their sales system has to evolve. For Josh Chernikoff, founder of EdSales Revenue Machine, a forced pause and triple bypass surgery accelerated that shift. It starts from a personal health moment, but this episode isn’t a medical story—it’s a sharper lens on how education companies build growth that actually lasts. This episode introduces the EdSales Revenue Machine (formerly EdSales Elevation Experience): a rebuilt framework focused on sp... | 25m 50s | ||||||
| 5/24/26 |  Getting on First Base: An Education Founder’s Guide to Sustainable Growth | Most education founders think growth comes from landing the biggest district. Wrong. In this live episode of EdSales Edge, Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales Elevation Experience returns just 17 days after unexpected triple bypass surgery and gives an update to the community on his recovery and the long road ahead. John Gamba, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Penn GSE, joins on his birthday on Wednesday for a breakdown of Moneyball by Michael Lewis (and the film it inspired)—and why it matte... | 28m 14s | ||||||
| 5/17/26 |  What I Wish More Education Founders Knew About Their Leads | Some of your best opportunities aren’t missing. You’re just looking in the wrong places. In Moneyball, Michael Lewis told the story of how the Oakland A’s competed against richer baseball teams without the same budget or star players. Instead of chasing obvious talent, Billy Beane, GM of the Oakland A’s team used data and pattern recognition to spot undervalued players other teams overlooked. That shift changed baseball. And it holds a powerful lesson for education sales. Most founders think ... | 32m 41s | ||||||
| 5/10/26 |  Targeting That Scales: How the Right Audience Changes Everything | Every growth story looks like it’s about marketing on the surface. But underneath, it’s almost always about one thing: who you’re actually building for. In this episode of EdSales Edge, John Gamba, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Penn GSE, steps in at the wheel as Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales Elevation Experience and host of the EdSales Edge continues recovering after a successful surprise triple bypass surgery. Josh is doing well, resting, and on the mend, with John—his best friend a... | 39m 28s | ||||||
| 5/3/26 |  Stop Funding the “Maybe” Trap: You’re Losing $50K in Contracts to Wrong Leads | Ever feel like you’re doing everything right… but your pipeline still isn’t working? You’re having conversations. People respond. It looks promising. And yet… nothing moves. It’s not that you need more leads. You’re spending time on the wrong ones. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales Elevation Experience breaks down the shift most education founders avoid: Not every opportunity deserves your time. Warren Buffett built his investing philosophy on this, he d... | 13m 31s | ||||||
| 4/26/26 |  When More Kills Deals: Why Simpler Offers Win in Education Sales | More services. More customization. More flexibility. Sounds like value—but it’s often why deals stall. In this live episode of EdSales Edge, Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales Elevation Experience and John Gamba, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Penn GSE break down a hard truth: adding more makes your offer weaker. Most education founders try to win by doing more—more features, more options, more ways to say yes. But buyers want the opposite: clarity, focus, and a clear outcome. Deals don’t ... | 37m 21s | ||||||
| 4/19/26 |  From Stuck Deals to Simple Wins: How to make education buyers say yes | “If you have to sell hard, your offer sucks." Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales Elevation Experience, opens this episode with a truth bomb inspired by the Alex Hormozi school of business: deals don't die at the finish line; they die the second you introduce a weak offer. Most education founders are busy tweaking pitch decks and chasing leads, but they’re ignoring the Hormozi fundamental: creating a "Grand Slam Offer" so good that people feel stupid saying no. In education sales, your ... | 20m 13s | ||||||

| 4/12/26 |  From Confusion to Clarity (The Offer That Makes People Say “I Need That”) | Deals stall all the time, even after strong conversations. In the education space, this happens every day with superintendents, principals, university presidents, and decision-makers who are interested, but don’t move forward. This live episode of EdSales Edge dives into the real reason why: stalled deals aren’t about follow-up, they’re about clarity. When your message isn’t clear, it doesn’t travel. And in education sales, your buyer isn’t the final decision-maker, they’re the one carrying y... | 35m 28s | ||||||
| 4/5/26 |  Why Deals Stall (And How To Keep Them Moving) | If your deals keep stalling after great conversations… it’s not your follow-up. It’s your clarity. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh Chernikoff (founder of EdSales Elevation Experience) breaks down why deals don’t die at the end, they fall apart at the beginning, when your offer isn’t clear enough to survive without you. He’s joined by Edwin Blanton, Ph.D., Assistant Vice Provost at The University of Texas at San Antonio, who shares the shift that changed everything. Instead of offering 1... | 26m 56s | ||||||
| 3/29/26 |  Stop Guessing, Start Thriving: Unlocking Clarity in Education Sales | Most education founders think sales success comes from bigger networks or constant activity. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh Chernikoff, founder of the EdSales Elevation Experience (3E), flips that assumption. He shows why clarity about who you serve, what you solve, and the results you deliver drives consistent, high-converting sales. Josh answers common questions from founders in 3E, a program designed to build repeatable, clarity-driven sales systems. He breaks down whether networks ... | 30m 23s | ||||||
| 3/22/26 |  Listen More, Sell More: From $25K Pilots to $100K Partnerships | Many founders in education sales assume success comes from a sharper pitch, a polished deck, or a stronger demo. In this episode of The EdSales Edge, Josh Chernikoff and Paul King reveal a different truth: strategic listening beats persuasive talking. Paul King, Founder of Neighborhood Educational Partners (NEP), shares how shifting from explaining to understanding transformed his business. By listening first, he increased confidence, turned pilots into year-round partnerships, and opened new... | 23m 55s | ||||||
| 3/15/26 |  Miss the Signals, Lose the Deal: What Happens When You Don’t Ask and Align | Most founders know listening matters in education sales. But few understand how to structure their questions to uncover real tensions and build trust before pitching. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh explains how the discipline of journalism — inspired by Terry Gross, host of NPR’s Fresh Air since 1975 — became the foundation for his education companies and the Raise Your Hand campaign, now used by hundreds of education vendors. Terry Gross isn’t loud or flashy. Her interviews succ... | 23m 55s | ||||||
| 3/8/26 |  Listen First. Win Later: How Listening Saves Pilots From Failing | Most founders believe winning districts comes down to a stronger pitch. Better deck. Sharper demo. Stronger proof. But in this episode of EdSales Edge, a senior education leader reveals a different problem: Most vendors never ask what the system actually needs. Josh sits down with Ryan Donaghy, Deputy Minister of Government, New Brunswick, Canada. Ryan is pitched constantly — AI tools, tutoring platforms, and “transformational” solutions. Yet one pattern appears again and again. Vendors talk.... | 36m 08s | ||||||
| 3/1/26 |  Listening Beats Pitching in Education (Why Trust Markets Don’t Respond to Noise) | Most founders selling into education think they need more leads. More visibility. More meetings. More activity at the top of the funnel. In this episode, Josh explains why traditional lead generation breaks down in education, and introduces Raise Your Hand as a different kind of lead generation strategy built for trust-based markets. Instead of chasing calls or pushing urgency, Raise Your Hand is designed to generate voluntary buying signals from decision-aware leaders. It filters for readine... | 17m 49s | ||||||
| 2/22/26 |  How Education Buyers Evaluate Credibility (Why Credentials Alone Don’t Build Trust) | Credibility in education isn’t earned through credentials alone — it’s earned through alignment and believability. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh sits down with Dr. Tara Williams, Founder of Innovative Collegiate Consultants, Inc. to explore a positioning shift most education founders avoid: When you share your struggles clearly and intentionally, people trust you more. Dr. Tara holds a PhD, earned tenure, and built programs at the college level. But her credibility accelerated w... | 30m 06s | ||||||
| 2/15/26 |  Why Most LinkedIn Advice Fails Education Founders (And What Actually Works) | LinkedIn is filled with confident advice about growing audiences and turning posts into sales. But most of that advice was built for fast-moving industries, not for education. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh explains why so many education founders feel frustrated and stuck on LinkedIn, even when they follow all the popular strategies. He breaks down how education buyers actually evaluate credibility and why likes, comments, and visibility rarely translate into real influence. Instead of... | 19m 43s | ||||||
| 2/8/26 |  Building Trust with Education Buyers: Why Silence Isn’t Rejection | Rachel Edoho-Eket, President of the Maryland Association of Elementary School Principals, understands that in education, credibility isn’t earned through noise or constant visibility — it’s earned through consistent, observable behavior over time. As a principal and state-level education leader, Rachel has seen founders and vendors make the same mistake repeatedly: talking too much, posting too often, and confusing activity with trust. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh sits down with Rach... | 26m 10s | ||||||
| 2/1/26 |  Why Chasing “Likes” Keeps You Stuck (How Education Buyers Actually Decide) | Most education founders assume LinkedIn isn’t working because no one is engaging. Posts get views but no likes. Thoughtful ideas land quietly. Weeks go by with no visible signal that anything is happening. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh explains why that silence isn’t rejection — it’s evaluation — and introduces two mental models that change how founders understand credibility in education: the Conference Model and the Gym Model. This episode isn’t about posting more, going viral, or g... | 19m 13s | ||||||
| 1/25/26 |  Why Selling Software Keeps You Stuck, and Selling Peace Moves Deals | Most education founders would celebrate landing one pilot. Sam and Michael landed nine. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh sits down with Samuel Rabkin and Michael Mahoney, co-founders of Mediator Spark, to unpack how clarity around their Perfect Client led to a sharper Signature Solution—and why that clarity turned stalled conversations into fast-moving pilots. This isn’t a story about selling software or education theory. It’s a case study in what happens when founders stop explaining to... | 40m 46s | ||||||
| 1/18/26 |  Why “What You Do” Isn’t Why Education Leaders Buy | Why is Apple more innovative than everyone else? It’s not better technology; it’s a different way of communicating. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh applies Simon Sinek’s "Start With Why" framework directly to education sales. For early-stage founders (<$2M revenue), school leaders aren't just buying software or curriculum. They are buying you. They are buying your judgment, your conviction, and your belief. This episode explores why clarity of belief is the fastest rout... | 18m 02s | ||||||
| 1/11/26 |  Why the Fastest “Yes” Beats the Biggest Budget — with Dr. Brooke Olsen-Farrell | Selling into education rewards clarity, not size. Long cycles, layered decisions, and committee-based buying can quietly drain a founder’s runway, especially when growth is tied to landing “big name” districts. In this episode of EdSales Edge, Josh sits down with Dr. Brooke Olsen-Farrell, a nine-year Superintendent at Slate Valley Unified School District and a national policy leader. Together, they unpack why traction in education doesn’t start with the biggest budgets, it starts with the Per... | 27m 04s | ||||||
| 1/4/26 |  The Perfect Client Paradox: Why Chasing More Leads Isn’t the Answer | Most education founders think they have a lead problem. You want more emails, more demos, more top-of-funnel activity. But here is the hard truth: You don't have a lead problem; you have a perfect client problem. If you are chasing the wrong person, no amount of lead gen will fix your revenue. It just gives you more conversations that don't convert. Traction comes from the "Clean Window" strategy. Instead of trying to convince skeptics to care, you need to target the buyers who already value ... | 27m 27s | ||||||
