🚀 Check out the latest release from ObotX - open source universal robots!

The team has launched a new open-source Mobile Manipulator repository featuring the MORPH Series—two parallel-manipulator configurations on an omnidirectional base, all running in the simple Google DeepMind MuJoCo interface. Anyone can download, simulate, and experiment with the system.
What stands out is ObotX’s focus on radical affordability (estimated ~$1,500 build cost vs. ~$35,000 industrial systems) and their commitment to keeping the design open for personal and research use. The project is also rooted in a social mission: using accessible robotics to reduce hazardous labor and create pathways away from child labor worldwide

A human-inspired neck for humanoids, what a fascinating work!

Could this unlock new use cases for medical applications as well?

While many still criticize the humanoid boom, I see a different reality: these systems are evolving to support a wide range of use cases, some more meaningful than others, including advancing healthcare and medical research.

Running a business was supposed to give you more freedom, not take it away.

But somewhere along the way, growth slowed. The work got heavier. You’re buried in day-to-day decisions, your team is busy, but results aren’t where they should be. Instead of scaling, it feels like you’re stuck.

That’s not failure. That’s a business plateau. And it’s more common than most business owners are willing to admit.

I help fix that.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with owners and leadership teams in manufacturing, ecommerce, and B2B services to help them grow businesses that run better, generate more value, and eventually become sellable when the time is right.

Through Exit Your Way, I guide B2B companies to build systems, elevate teams, and create exit options, even if they don’t plan to sell for years. Through our work at B2Btail with the Digital Game Plan strategy development/execution process, we help companies stop being the best kept secret by creating marketing foundations that attract their ideal customers and position them for long-term success.

My focus is simple: helping you build a business that works, whether you’re in the room or not.

Common challenges I help solve:

Low visibility: Your best customers don’t know you exist. We fix that by aligning messaging, strategy, and marketing assets to bring them to you.

Owner overload: If everything depends on you, growth hits a wall. We help build teams and systems that keep moving, even when you step away.

Exit confusion: You want out someday, but the path forward is unclear. We build companies buyers want and owners are proud of.

When it works, here’s what changes:

Customers find you because your message finally speaks their language

Your team handles the day-to-day, freeing you to focus on higher-value work

You move from reacting to leading, and from being stuck to scaling intentionally

I’ve built and sold companies, led investor-backed teams, and helped founders grow from $5 million to $30 million and beyond. I bring the tools, perspective, and calm needed to lead through messy growth and prepare for clean, profitable exits.

But this isn’t just about growth or selling. It’s about control over your time, your team, your income, and your future.

If you’re ready to lead again instead of constantly catching up, I’d be glad to talk.

You’ve built something great. Let’s make sure it works for you.

Damon Pistulka √

Your customer is the hero.

You’re the guide.

Remember that to earn trust and drive sales.

Most businesses position themselves as the hero:

🔷We do this.

🔷We built that.

🔷We’ve been around since…

But your customer doesn’t care about your story…

They care about how you help them succeed.

When you make them the hero in your messaging:

🔥Your story supports theirs

🔥You become a trusted guide

🔥Your brand becomes magnetic

When you clearly help people understand how you might help them succeed your messaging resonates more clearly.


⚡Show people how things will be better working with you! ⚡


How would your messaging change if it was all about your customer’s success?
