Ever look up and realize you've been so busy staging homes that you haven't actually led your staging business? That's exactly what we're unpacking in this episode. I'm taking you inside our 2026 Planning Day with the staging CEOs in my Accelerate program. We talked about what worked, what didn't, and the power of asking one simple question: Where did hesitation cost me this year? You'll hear how these CEOs are shifting from being stagers who run around installing to owners who build companies, learning to trust their installation teams, and approaching their pricing and financials with real maturity. And if you've ever dreaded your slow season (hello, post-holiday slump), we're reframing that too, because it's not a setback, it's your performance lab. As we approach the new year, this episode is one of the preparations you need for leading your staging business with strategy, because it will only grow at the speed of your nervous system, not the speed of your installations. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: How reflective planning helps you see what's really driving results without judgment or overwhelm. The mindset shift from operator to architect and how to let your team truly own outcomes. How to turn slow seasons into growth seasons by refining your systems and structure. Three planning questions that bring calm clarity to your next chapter.

Boring Problems, Big Wins, Community‑Driven AI Adoption AI is not overhyped, it is under-implemented. Ken Roden and Erin Mills chat with Sheena Miles on how to move from tool obsession to behavior change, her three stage framework, and the practical KPIs that prove progress before revenue shows up. We also talk AI policy that unlocks safe experimentation, community as an accelerator, and Sheena demos how she spins up n8n workflows from a prompt. Chapter markers 00:00, Cold open and disclaimer 01:00, Is AI overhyped, what is really failing 03:20, Early indicators versus lagging revenue, set better goals 04:20, Exec view, target 3 percent faster time to market 06:00, Avoid AI slop, find repetitive, boring work 07:00, Guest intro 09:00, Real state of adoption, dual speed orgs and siloed champions 10:45, Teach concepts, not tools 12:00, Policy, security review, AI council 14:00, Behavior beats features 15:30, Community for accountability and shared assets 17:30, Live n8n demo, import a skeleton workflow and adapt 35:00, AI first versus AI native, embed into workflows 36:30, Influence without authority, solve a champion's boring problem 38:00, Inclusion and usage gaps, why it matters to the business 40:00, Skills that matter now, prompting, rapid testing, communicating thought process 43:00, Why to be optimistic 45:00, Lightning round 48:00, Host debrief and takeaways Key takeaways Hype versus reality, most failures are vague goals and tool-first rollouts, not AI itself. • Measure what you can now, speed to market, cycle time, sprint throughput, ticket deflection, before revenue. • Framework, Activate, Amplify, Accelerate, start small, spread what works, then institutionalize. • Policy unlocks velocity, simple rules for data and tool vetting plus a cross functional council. • Behavior over features, learn inputs and outputs so skills transfer across tools. • Community compounds, accountability and shared templates speed learning. • Start with boring problems, compliance questionnaires, asset generation, ticket clustering, call insights. • AI first versus AI native, move from sidecar to embedded with human review gates. • Inclusion is a business lever, close usage gaps or accept a productivity gap. Sheena's three stage framework Activate, prove value safely • Define the problem, validate AI fit, run a small pilot. • Track accuracy thresholds and time saved. • Example, auto draft responses to repetitive compliance questionnaires from a vetted knowledge base. Amplify, spread what works • Connect adjacent teams, add light governance, share patterns. • Run cross team pilots and publish playbooks. • Example, connect support tickets, payments, compliance, partner success to detect issues proactively. Accelerate, institutionalize • Assign ownership, embed training, integrate tools, set ROI guardrails. • Roll out across channels and systems with quality gates. • Example, ad copy system owned by demand gen, content as QA, used across paid, email, social. Hot Takes from Sheena “Policy enables speed if you write it to unblock safe experiments.” “Stop memorizing tool steps, learn the concepts so they transfer.” “Solve the boring problem first, that is where AI pays for itself.” “If NRR belongs to someone, it belongs to everyone.” Resources & Links Sheena Miles on LinkedIn Women Defining AI, podcast and community n8n About FutureCraft Stay tuned for more insightful episodes from the FutureCraft podcast, where we continue to explore the evolving intersection of AI and GTM.

Electricity demand in the US is rising faster than it has in decades, driven by AI and a wave of investment in domestic manufacturing. But with transmission lines and other electricity infrastructure taking years to permit and build, how can America secure the power it needs fast enough to remain competitive?In this special episode of The Energy Gang, recorded at the ACORE Grid Forum in Washington DC, host Ed Crooks speaks with industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers tackling the challenge of “speed to power”, and asks them for their ideas on how to accelerate the build-out of the next grid.Ed begins the episode with Heather Reams, President of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, who explains why bipartisan consensus on permitting reform is finally within reach, and what it will take to sustain political will through an election year.Next, Richard Kauffman, Chair of the Coalition for Green Capital, shares his perspective on how creative financing models and public-private partnerships can unlock investment for distributed and community-scale energy projects that strengthen the grid from the ground up.Ed then speaks with Rob Gramlich, Founder and President of Grid Strategies LLC, who breaks down the regulatory and planning challenges slowing progress on transmission and offers insight into the reforms needed to modernise America's grid for a new era of demand.Technology can help find solutions faster. Theodore Paradise, Chief Policy and Grid Strategy Officer at CTC Global, discusses how advanced conductors with carbon fibre cores can double transmission capacity without building a single new line. He also explains how CTC's new partnership with Google is accelerating the deployment of new transmission technology.Finally, Ray Long, President and CEO of ACORE, joins Ed to bring all the threads together, highlighting how political leadership, technology, and finance must converge if the US is to meet its rising power needs and remain globally competitive.This episode was recorded at the ACORE Grid Forum in Washington DC.You can also watch the full conversation in video format on YouTube - just search Energy Gang.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've been wondering whether Australia's housing boom still has legs, or if we've already hit the peak of this cycle, then today's episode will give you the clarity you've been looking for. Because, according to Dr Andrew Wilson, home prices across our capital cities accelerated again in October — marking the strongest monthly growth in nearly four years. Now, this kind of broad-based growth might surprise some commentators who've been predicting a slowdown. But as Andrew points out in his latest House Price Report, the combination of lower interest rates, improved affordability, and chronic undersupply continues to fuel strong buyer demand — particularly in markets where stock remains scarce and confidence is returning fast. Takeaways · Most Australians focus on short-term financial concerns. · Interest rates and media headlines distract average investors. · Property markets have performed more strongly than expected this year. · All capital cities reported higher property prices recently. · Brisbane's unit market has seen significant growth. · Fear of missing out is influencing buyer behavior. · The national house price has increased by 8.3% over the past year. · Strong fundamentals are supporting ongoing price increases. · The housing market is expected to remain active in the coming months.

Eric speaks with Tyler Fisher about building and improving water feature businesses. They discuss a series of upcoming hands-on training sessions offered by Atlantic-OASE at their Aurora, Ohio, facility during the winter months. These intensive three-day courses are designed to teach contractors and DIY enthusiasts skills ranging from installing fountains and formal spillways to advanced koi pond biology and maintenance, with a strong emphasis on getting practical experience rather than just classroom instruction. The training, which is notably affordable and includes hotel and meals, is presented as an invaluable opportunity to gain experience, build confidence, and foster deep industry relationships with top professionals. Key Takeaways: Seek specialized education to build confidence and reduce guesswork in new business endeavors. Prioritize practical, hands-on learning experiences to better internalize complex skills. Cultivate deep personal relationships with industry partners that extend beyond simple business transactions. Use industry downtime, like winter months, to focus on improving business structure, efficiency, and profitability. Accelerate your professional growth by collapsing time and learning directly from the cumulative experience and mistakes of long-time experts.

Chain of Learning: Empowering Continuous Improvement Change Leaders
How often do you find yourself racing from meeting to meeting, rushing through tasks, or filling every silence with your own voice? In our doing-oriented culture, pausing feels uncomfortable—even counterproductive. Yet left unchecked, our instinct for action and answers can limit learning, development, and innovation.In this episode, I explore the power of the pause and why mastering it may be one of the most transformative leadership habits you can develop.

It will also require new behaviors and sharper priorities that strengthen our retail leadership in style and design and enable faster execution so we can: Lead with merchandising authority; Elevate the guest experience with every interaction; and Accelerate technology to enable our team and delight our guests.”Does anyone know what that word salad actually means?

So if he throws a tantrum and leaves, isn't it bro's fault? This is a binary trade - Musk gets extra pay/control, stock goes up and isn't de-meme'd. Musk doesn't, he leaves and the stock is de-meme'd and drops arguably by 66% or more to be more like a car company with some tech. So do we blame investors, no matter what they do? They meme'd the stock in the first place, he couldn't get a trillion extra dollars if they hadn't pumped up the stock - and now they could vote with humanity (no pay) or meme capitalism (pay)!Techbro middle school conservatism - is this Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan's fault?

Dell Technologies has announced Dell AI Data Platform advancements designed to help enterprises turn distributed, siloed data into faster, more reliable AI outcomes. Why it matters As enterprise AI adoption surges and data grows, organisations need a platform that can securely transform distributed, siloed data into actionable insights. The Dell AI Data Platform, a critical component of the Dell AI Factory, delivers an open, modular foundation to create value from scattered data silos. By decoupling data storage from processing, it eliminates bottlenecks and provides the flexibility needed for AI workloads like training, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or inferencing. The platform, integrated with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design, is powered by four core building blocks: Storage engines for smart data placement and seamless data movement Data engines to turn data into actionable insights Built-in cyber resiliency Data management services Together, they create a scalable, flexible foundation for customers to realise AI's full potential. Dell AI Data Platform storage engines deliver peak AI performance Dell PowerScale and Dell ObjectScale, the Dell AI Data Platform's storage engines, offer the performance, security and multi-protocol access essential for AI data. Dell PowerScale delivers NAS (network-attached storage) simplicity and parallel performance for AI workloads like training, fine-tuning, inferencing and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. With new integration of NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 NVL72 and ongoing software updates, Dell PowerScale delivers reliable performance, simplified management at scale and seamless compatibility with applications and solution stacks. PowerScale F710, which has achieved NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) certification for high-performance storage, delivers 16k+ GPU-scale with up to 5X less rack space, 88% fewer network switches and up to 72% lower power consumption compared to competitors. Dell ObjectScale, the industry's highest-performing object platform, provides extremely performant, scalable S3-native object storage for massive AI workloads. ObjectScale is available as an appliance or through a new software-defined option on Dell PowerEdge servers that is up to 8 times faster than previous-generation all-flash object storage. New advancements improve ObjectScale's speed, scalability and efficiency. S3 over RDMA support will soon enter tech preview. It will offer up to 230% higher throughput, 80% lower latency and 98% lower CPU usage compared to traditional S3. Small object performance and efficiency improvements for large deployments deliver up to 19% higher throughput and up to 18% lower latency for 10KB objects. Deeper AWS S3 integration and bucket-level compression give developers and data scientists better tools to store, move and use large amounts of data. Dell AI Data Platform data engines power real-time AI Dell is also expanding its data engines, the specialised tools in the Dell AI Data Platform that organise, query and activate AI data. Dell's data engines are built in collaboration with trusted AI leaders like NVIDIA, Elastic and Starburst. The new Data Search Engine, developed in collaboration with Elastic, speeds decision-making by allowing customers to interact with data as naturally as asking a question. Designed for tasks like RAG, semantic search and generative AI pipelines, it integrates with MetadataIQ data discovery software to search billions of files on PowerScale and ObjectScale using granular metadata. Developers can build smarter RAG applications in tools like LangChain with the engine, ingesting only updated files to save compute time and keep vector databases current. The Data Analytics Engine, developed in collaboration with Starburst, enables seamless data querying across spreadsheets, databases, cloud warehouses and lakehouses. The new Data Analytics Engine Agentic Layer transforms raw data into business-ready products in...
OCT. 21, 2025God can accelerate His plan for your life."You have kept the good wine until now!" Jn 2:10 NKJVJesus' first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding reception. There were six waterpots, each capable of holding thirty gallons. First, He said, "Fill those pots with water." Next, He said, "Take some out and bring it to the host of the party." When the host tasted it, he told the groom, "This is amazing. Everyone serves the best wine first, and after people have had a lot to drink, they bring out the less expensive wine. But you have saved the best wine for last" (See vv. 7-10 NLT). Do you know how long it takes to make wine? It begins with planting seeds, then takes several years for the vines to grow mature grapes. Then they have to be picked and processed to produce the wine. It often takes three to five years before the first wine is ready to be bottled. The better-quality wine takes five to seven years to make. And people consider the best wine to be twenty to thirty years old. Jesus produced in a moment in time what normally takes decades to produce. So if you're concerned that you don't have enough time to achieve your goals, remember that Jesus can do in a moment what might usually take years. Maybe it would typically take you twenty years to pay off your mortgage, or ten years to build your business.But God's favor can thrust you years down the road. He still turns water into wine. Be encouraged, the God we serve knows how to accelerate natural laws. He can take you further, quicker than you can ever imagine.God can accelerate His plan for your life Jesus can do in a moment what usually takes years.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your staging business isn't adding more but strategically saying no? Today's episode is really a reflection and honestly, a celebration as we're winding down this year. I've had some amazing conversations with the CEOs inside our Accelerate and private coaching, and they are experiencing wins that I have to tell you about. These are wins that I consider non-traditional. But rather, they are the more valuable, more powerful ones from what I'm calling “the clean no”. The phase where you assess an area with a problem you are no longer willing to tolerate; either from yourself as the staging business owner, your clients, or your team, so you make a different decision and actually implement that decision to see the results. So, I'm sharing the beautiful results that our staging CEOs got to see from choosing to do something differently, gaining more breathing room, respect and desired growth. If you've ever thought, "I can't say no or they'll hire someone else," or "I just need to go a little above and beyond to prove that we're worth it," then this episode is going to challenge how you think about service, standards, and success. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: What a "clean no" is and why it builds more value than over-delivery Why over-delivery is often drama, not value and what it's really masking The real cost of over-delivery (financially and emotionally) and how it impacts your team Two powerful lists to help you identify where you're over-delivering and what a clean no could give you back RESOURCES: Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome If you want to learn how to streamline your operations so you can grow with less stress and burnout in your staging business, enrollment is open for Staging Business School Accelerate Track.

“I think we're at this really seminal moment from an industry where we clearly have a major inflection shaping the end-markets. Adobe is not new to inflections. In fact, the arc of time and history of the company and the ability to reinvent ourselves each and every time one of these major inflections happen, to cement our leadership position...it's a part of our heritage,” Adobe CFO Dan Durn explains to Anurag Rana, senior technology analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. The two explore each of Adobe's product clouds, customer groups and cross-cloud workflows. Durn also outlines a monetization playbook—price x quantity + value—backed by brand-safe Firefly and native model choice (first- and third-party) via generative credits. Additionally, the two cover the enterprise go-to-market, Acrobat and Express upselling, AI-influence in products and capital allocation.
