Miami, Florida (Hexa PR Wire — October 9, 2025) —
Todd Hagopian, founder of the Stagnation Intelligence Agency and transformation leader known as “the Stagnation Assassin,” joined The Michael Peres Podcast to examine how companies escape stalled growth using repeatable systems. The episode traced how a bipolar diagnosis intersected with his career and how he operationalized innovation, continuous improvement, and goal architecture—methods he says work consistently under real-world constraints, including medication and changing market conditions.
Hagopian detailed the concept of Stagnation Syndrome, practical “effort math” for prioritizing work that moves financial results, and lessons from doubling the value of his own manufacturing acquisition in three years. He outlined playbooks for boards, CEOs, and operators to restart momentum, and reflected on experiences across global manufacturers—Berkshire Hathaway, Illinois Tool Works, Whirlpool, JBT—and selling into major retailers and CPG customers.
