In this episode, Khushi and Liza dive into how AI is reshaping the workplace, not by replacing people, but by transforming what people spend their time on.  They explore how automation takes over repetitive tasks, freeing humans to focus on creativity, judgment, and collaboration. The conversation highlights why successful AI adoption is less about tools and more about mindset, trust, and change readiness.  They discuss the importance of transparent systems, strong process foundations, continuous learning, and designing workflows where humans and AI complement rather than compete with one another. 1. AI will automate repetition, not human intelligence.  AI is most effective in handling tasks that are rule-based, predictable, and time-consuming. This frees people to focus on higher-value responsibilities such as strategy, innovation, collaboration, and relationship building. The workplace shift is from task execution to thinking, solving, creating, and reinforcing the value of uniquely human skills. 2. Adaptability is the skill of the future. Technical proficiency matters, but the most important workforce capability now is adaptability. Employees who are willing to learn continuously and evolve with new tools will move forward. Organizations must foster learning environments that encourage curiosity, experimentation, and skill expansion rather than resistance or fear of change. 3. AI success depends on business alignment, not technology alone.  AI initiatives must begin with a clear understanding of business goals. When organizations deploy AI purely for technical uplift, the outcomes are inconsistent. When they anchor it to measurable objectives like efficiency, decision speed, compliance, cost optimization, outcomes are scalable and repeatable. AI is most valuable when it solves a real operational or strategic problem. 4. Trust and transparency drive adoption. For AI to be actively embraced, people must understand how outputs are generated. Explainable, transparent systems create confidence and reduce hesitation in usage. Without trust, adoption stalls, regardless of how advanced the technology is. 5. The future workplace is human + AI co-intelligence.  AI accelerates the work. Humans shape the meaning. The future belongs to employees and leaders who use AI as a partner, combining machine efficiency with human judgment to create outcomes that are faster, smarter, and more impactful.

Share Your ThoughtsWhat happens when technology fails mid-project?During a recent conference headshot session, my entire AI-assisted workflow went silent — no Wi-Fi, no automation, no backup, only instinct.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, we dive into a powerful conversation with Nate, CEO of Form 100 Consulting, an agile technology firm that hires military veterans. Together, we explore what it really means to focus on core competencies in a world obsessed with chasing trends—especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. Focusing on What Matters Nate emphasizes the danger of business “fluff”—initiatives that look exciting but distract from the organization's core mission. We discuss how easily companies get pulled off track by AI hype and lose sight of what actually drives value. Both of us agree that clarity of mission and disciplined execution are what truly sustain success. AI Implementation: Systems Before Software We unpack why so many organizations fail at AI implementation. The core issue? Automating broken systems. Before adding automation, leaders must first understand workflows, engage the people doing the work, and align process improvements with clear outcomes. The discussion also explores lean methodology and how technology should enhance human capability—not replace it. Automation and Efficiency Our conversation turns to how automation affects staffing and productivity. I share insights from past downturns where organizations reduced teams but maintained output through smarter workflows. We agree that while automation can remove jobs, it can also elevate roles and help businesses grow—if it's done with purpose. We also highlight the risk of knowledge loss as experienced workers retire, reminding leaders that efficiency must never come at the cost of wisdom. Adaptability and Incremental Progress We examine why even major corporations, including Fortune 500 giants, struggle to survive. Nate and I discuss the importance of adaptability, addressing constraints, and embracing incremental progress—especially when integrating AI. True transformation happens step by step, not through one big innovation. Data-Driven Growth Without the Paralysis I share an example of a client stuck in “analysis paralysis” due to too much data. The takeaway: data should serve decision-making, not dominate it. We explore how to build centralized systems that streamline insights and connect back to strategy. I also reference General Motors' missteps in the 1980s as a lesson on the risks of ignoring core strengths in the pursuit of diversification. Balancing Planning and Action We discuss the challenge of overplanning versus underplanning. Nate explains that effective leadership requires making informed decisions without having every answer. This means building psychological safety within teams, encouraging learning through mistakes, and avoiding “level one thinking”—where leaders react rather than anticipate. Consulting Insights and Shared Experiences Nate shares insights about his work at form100consulting.com, helping organizations improve execution and agility. I reflect on my own consulting journey with small businesses and nonprofits, from psychotherapy practices to after-school LEGO robotics programs, and the lessons I carried from my time in the Air Force into business leadership. Human Connection in the Age of Automation We close with a conversation about marketing and human connection. Both of us agree that while digital platforms like LinkedIn have become saturated with automation, audiences are craving authenticity. The future of business belongs to those who bring back the personal touch—conversations, community, and genuine connection.

Drawing from personal experiences, research, and decades of clinical work, they discuss the essential components of resilience: adaptability, emotional regulation, flexibility, and hope.

They reference experts such as Dr. Al Siebert, Dr. Dan Siegel, Dr. Stephen Porges, and Dr. Martin Seligman, offering insights into the neurobiology of resilience and the relational skills that sustain connection through adversity. Listeners will walk away with practical strategies to strengthen their emotional core, improve communication, and cultivate hope—even in seasons of deep pain or uncertainty. Key Takeaways: Resiliency begins with emotional regulation and self-awareness. Adaptability and flexibility are learned skills that sustain connection.

Are you interested in repurposing existing urban buildings and infrastructure? Debate of the article titled Adaptability of buildings: A critical review on the concept evolution from 2021, by Rand Askar, Luís Bragança, and Helena Gervásio, published in the MDPI Applied Sciences journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Manfred Schrenk in episode 374 talking about the importance of repurposing the urban context to the future. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the urban adaptability concept in a critical light. This article presents adaptability in buildings as a concept and its evolution over time, its various interpretations and the strategies and models that promote it.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Our ever-evolving built environment is continuously facing emerging needs for housing, work, health, and mobility, among others. Yet, buildings are usually designed and set up as finished permanent objects, reflecting the one constant scenario in mind of defined form, function, and performance. Since change is increasingly inevitable in our life, enlarging buildings' adaptive capacities in response to arising variables and changing conditions over their lifecycle becomes a necessity in seeking global sustainability demands. The concept of building adaptability has been a notable subject in this respect, increasingly stimulating and proposing regenerative alternatives to today's often obsolete buildings. This paper critically reviews the existing body of knowledge on the concept of adaptability in building research. The main focus is made on the evolution of the concept interpretations and related paradigms, and on the development of its applications and strategies in the light of promoting models and trends. Drawing on the literature as a source of evidence, the paper analyzes and classifies the content of existing studies published in scientific journals and gray literature, focusing on a timeframe from 2015 up-to-date. Moreover, the paper aims to build a constructive discussion to identify potential gaps between the actual state of the art and emerging needs, which should be addressed by further research.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.263R - Why affordable, social and public housing must be redefined as economic infrastructureNo.264 - Interview with Robert Pradolin about affordable housingYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠⁠⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?

In this episode, Paul and Matt tackle what they call the “North Star” of durable skills—adaptability. They explore what it really means to adapt as the world changes daily, how it differs from resilience, and why it's the single most important skill for staying relevant in work that refuses to stand still.Five Key Learnings:Adaptability is the ability to adjust as the world around you changes—it's the North Star of durable skills.Resilience supports adaptability—it's the ability to emotionally and intellectually cope with change.Work now changes daily, not decade by decade; adaptability drives hiring, retention, and promotion.Daily practice builds adaptability by strengthening underlying durable skills like readiness, organization, balance, motivation, and control.Embedding 10–15 minutes of daily skill practice is the simplest and most powerful way to become more adaptable over time.Resources mentioned in this episode.The 1% better idea - https://jamesclear.com/continuous-improvementHumanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations maximize their potential based on human capabilities.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.

PayPal (PYPL) and SoFi Technologies (SOFI) have shown a "tale of two different performances" when it comes to their stock prices, says Noah Hamman. He points to PayPal's struggles in recent months but notes its earnings Tuesday and a partnership with OpenAI as positive catalysts ahead. Ted Rossman gives credit for both companies and their peers for "meeting customers where they are" as consumers navigate economic uncertainty. He notes opportunities ahead for fintech firms to capitalize on changing trends, including setting the groundwork for a "super app."======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this action-packed episode of the Elk Hunt Podcast, host [redacted for anonymity, but based on context] sits down with seasoned elk hunter Jeff Helm to recap his remarkable 2024 season, where he harvested four mature bulls across vastly different states and terrains. Jeff dives into his addiction to hunting Roosevelt elk on the rugged Oregon coast, sharing tales of navigating ancient forests, battling poison oak, and out-hunting locals. The conversation shifts to an epic backcountry Wyoming adventure with llamas, where Jeff, Mark, and Josh adapted to heavy horse hunter pressure, glassed for patterns, and called in bulls using calf sounds and strategic setups. Packed with storytelling, Jeff reveals his adaptable tactics, from spot-and-stalk in Idaho to calf calling in thick timber, emphasizing mental toughness, pre-scouting, and building hunter intuition. Whether you're a beginner or advanced hunter, this episode offers invaluable insights into consistent success on public land.This episode is brought to you by Tricer, they make gear that is Fast.

For example, calf calls worked in Wyoming's backcountry, but spot-and-stalk was key in silent Idaho hunts—avoid overcomplicating with too many tools and stay flexible to turn tough situations into kills. Pre-Scouting and Observation Are Underrated Superpowers: Arrive early to drive roads, assess access, and glass elk patterns without rushing in. Jeff's Wyoming success came from watching horse hunters and elk for days to find unpressured pockets, proving that understanding where elk go (and why) often beats blind calling or chasing. Build Gut Intuition Through Experience and Mentors: Learn from consistent killers like Dan Evans by observing elk habits and avoiding common pitfalls, such as rushing bedded bulls (wait 45-60 minutes to let them settle). Mental toughness keeps you in the game—elk hunting is hard until it's not, and one right setup can change everything.

Welcome to a very special wisdom mini-series. This four-part project originates from an archive of rare 2004 recordings of wisdom conversations with my mentor, John Wells Jr. In the truest sense this batch of wisdom has been two decades in the making. Sadly, John passed away in early February 2005, after battling cancer. Those conversations and recordings served as a pre-cursor, perhaps even a prequel to this podcast which launched 15 years later in 2019. The Courage to Change Part Four features what was, perhaps, John's favorite story to tell, his favorite wisdom lesson. It showcases John's humility and his lifelong commitment to learning. John Wells Jr never stopped striving to better himself, to improve. That passion fueled his physical fitness, as you heard in Part One, as well as his business acumen, as you'll hear in this episode. I think this lesson was his favorite because something he was initially opposed to doing, surprised him with such a positive outcome and impact. You see, to John, learning something was more important and more valuable than simply being right about something. As you listen today, you will get a feel for the Well Home Furnishings flagship store, as well as their innovative approach to business and leadership. The wisdom lesson you get in this episode is straightforward and immediately applicable. It provides a powerful illustration of the values of humility and adaptability in business success. It also delivers a strong reminder of the need to be open to—and ready for—change. Let's face it, that's not always easy.   More About Our Wise Guest - John Wells, Jr. John was one of the most effective and influential mentors in my lifetime. He taught, led and influenced me, opening my eyes and expanding my thinking on those things that truly matter. I was deeply blessed to know him. John was a dedicated retail veteran and community leader who co-founded Wells Home Furnishings. Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, he led his business to award-winning success. Beyond his career, Wells was deeply involved in civic and youth service organizations in Charleston, including the Boys Scouts, YMCA and United Way, among others, reflecting his commitment to community betterment. In 2000, John was honored with the prestigious Ernst Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Though he never sought the spotlight, one day the President of the United States, George W. Bush, stood in Charleston and honored John Wells for his service. His legacy is marked by his dedication to his family, his profession and his community, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.   Resources YMCA Spirit of the Valley Tribute Video to John Wells, Jr. (2005) Wells Home Furnishings website Conversations with My Mentor John - Part Three Conversations with My Mentor John - Part Two Conversations with My Mentor John - Part One   Credits Special thanks to Motion Masters, Inc. - Diana Sole Walko, CEO/President - for generously supporting and capturing video and audio from these 2004 sessions.   Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski PR + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell Marketing, Social Media and Graphic Design Chloe Lineberg   Stay Connected with Us on Social YouTube @themainthingpod Twitter @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook  @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn TikTok @TheMainThingPod   Help Support and Sustain This Podcast Become a subscriber.

1    In this episode of Develop This!, host Dennis Fraise sits down with Emily Benjamin, the President and CEO of the Lee County Economic Development Group (LCEDG)—the very role Dennis once held. Together, they explore the realities of leadership transition, organizational change, and the evolution of community-focused economic development. Emily shares her non-linear career journey into the field, how a strategic overlap period helped ensure a smooth handoff, and what it's been like stepping into leadership of a small but impactful economic development organization. From navigating board dynamics and community expectations to fostering team trust and strategic growth, this episode offers an honest and practical look at what it takes to lead and evolve within the ever-changing world of community and economic development. Key Takeaways Leadership transitions require planning, patience, and trust to succeed. An overlap period can help both outgoing and incoming leaders align on priorities and culture. Board relationships and clear communication are essential for stability and success. Economic development leadership means balancing community expectations with organizational capacity. Adaptability and quick thinking are vital in a small EDO environment. Support from a committed board and engaged stakeholders makes all the difference. Understanding the organization's history and community context builds credibility and confidence.

Why we learn the most when we accept that we might be wrong.Effective communication isn't about having all the answers. As Astro Teller knows, it's about finding (and sometimes fumbling) your way through the questions.Teller is a computer scientist, entrepreneur, and inventor who serves as Captain of Moonshots at X, Alphabet's Moonshot Factory. In his work leading teams toward audacious solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems, he embraces what he calls “a learning journey,” where being wrong isn't the end, but the beginning. “As scary as it is to be wrong,” he says, it's a necessary part of the discovery process. Whether experimenting in the lab or testing our thoughts and opinions in conversation with others, it's about having the humility and curiosity to face the limits of our understanding. “When do you learn something? You learn something when you have a model about the world, and then you get some data that tells you you're wrong,” he says. “You learn nothing when you're right.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Teller and host Matt Abrahams discuss how embracing uncertainty drives innovation, why leaders should reward learning habits over outcomes, and how we learn the most when we're not afraid to find that we might be wrong.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Astro TellerAstro's Book: Sacred Cows Ep.70 Ideas Fuel Innovation: Why Your First Ideas Aren't Always the Best Ep.20 Question Your Questions: How to Spark Creativity in Your Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:18) - Defining a Moonshot (04:21) - Building a Learning Machine (07:00) - Learning vs. Productivity (08:35) - Capturing and Sharing Learning (10:49) - Rewarding Habits, Not Outcomes (13:17) - Moonshot Success Stories (16:16) - The Power of Storytelling in Innovation (17:46) - Launching The Moonshot Podcast (19:37) - The Final Three Questions (25:27) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

In Episode 281, Kelly Kennedy delivers a powerful reminder that in a world moving faster than ever, adaptability isn't optional—it's the skill that defines whether we thrive or fade. He shares how resisting change once held him back, from pushing against early CRM systems to realizing that fear of new ideas only slows progress for everyone involved. Using Apple as a case study in self-disruption, Kelly shows how the most successful leaders and companies evolve intentionally—choosing to innovate before they're forced to.Kelly challenges listeners to stop fearing change and start seeking it, revealing how the information age has given way to the intelligence age powered by AI. He outlines clear, practical steps to embrace adaptability, face fear, and lead with purpose in times of rapid transformation.

Adaptability isn't reacting to change, it's causing it before you're forced to.2. The information age is over — those who cling to old rules will get left behind.3. Fear of change is natural, but it's usually just the fear of what we can't yet see.4. The other side of change is always better, even if it's invisible from where you stand.5. Resisting progress doesn't protect us — it holds everyone back.6. Apple's success came from self-disruption; they chose to evolve while it was still their choice.7. In the AI era, adaptability isn't optional — it's the new literacy.8. Systems and processes still matter, but only if they evolve with you.9. Growth begins when you stop defending comfort and start seeking change.10. The people who win the future will be the ones who adapt faster than fear can stop them.If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.

He joins us to discuss one of the most important aspects of being an effective leader—adaptability. Adaptability is shown to be crucial not just for leaders, but for entire organizations, and we explore how credit unions need to be "fast followers" to keep up with demands for instant, personalized service. Clinging to the "way we've always done it" is a recipe for getting left behind!Listen as Brad shares how he has embraced change and disruption to create an exciting, fast-paced environment that attracts top talent to the credit union industry. We dig into the difference between reacting to change vs. proactively adapting to it, and Brad provides examples of how he has developed adaptable leaders on his team by giving them assignments outside of their comfort zones, ultimately building their "muscle memory" for taking on uncertainty.We also discuss the challenges of leading teams through rapid change and how some leaders struggle with the loss of control that can sometimes come with the territory of being adaptable, and Brad highlights the importance of surrounding yourself with experts who can fill the gaps in your own knowledge, rather than trying to be the all-knowing CEO.We ultimately offer some insights for aspiring leaders into how to foster adaptability in themselves and in their teams, with key traits including embracing failure as a learning opportunity, maintaining confidence while also being vulnerable, and constantly putting yourself in uncomfortable situations to build that crucial adaptability muscle!

Are you torn between protecting your kids' mental health and preparing them for real-world stress?Most parents feel this tension—and many swing too far toward pressure or protection. In this video, Greg & Rachel share a better path: don't inflict pressure—be the anchor while your kids face it. You'll learn how to build grit through trust, identity, and modeling, so challenge actually strengthens your bond instead of breaking it.What we cover:Identity over willpower: why saying “I'm not a smoker” beats “I'm trying to quit.”Anchor, don't apply pressure: your job is safety + modeling, not manufactured hardship.Results don't lie: how your life becomes the proof your kids can't ignore.Trust first, then stretch: push to the “next rock,” then keep your promise and carry them.Adjust your strategy: when you “get punched in the face,” learn, adapt, iterate.Do hard things yourself: kids spot hypocrisy—lead from the front.Make discomfort enjoyable: turn tough conversations, workouts, and cold plunges into shared wins.Big Idea: Grit grows in connection. When kids know you'll both challenge and carry them, they lean in, try again, and adopt a new identity that sustains lifelong habits.Key Takeaways✅ Be the anchor, not the pressure. Safety + example > force.✅ Model hard things. If you don't, they won't.✅ Identity drives habits. Become the family who does the hard, good things.✅ Keep promises. Stretch to the “next rock,” then carry—that's how trust is built.✅ Iterate, don't implode. When it's not working, change your approach, not your ideals.Chapters00:00 New Beginnings and Reflections03:18 Goal Setting and Identity Transformation03:31 Preparing Kids for Life's Challenges05:02 The Balance of Comfort and Growth05:30 Building Resilience Through Experience08:44 Adapting to Life's Punches09:59 The Journey of Parenting and Education12:19 Embracing Failure in Business and Parenting13:59 The Importance of Adaptability and Learning17:21 Influence Through Results and Personal Example19:32 Living an Extraordinary Life as a Family22:34 Teaching Resilience Through Real-Life Challenges24:58 Iterative Learning and Effective Communication28:39 The Power of Persistence in ParentingMemorable Quotes

How many times have you set out to have a “consistent” homeschool, only to get derailed by spilled cereal, a surprise dentist appointment, or, let's be real, your own epic meltdown? (Just me? Didn't think so.)Let's bust this myth right up front: Consistency in homeschool is NOT about never missing a day, nailing every lesson, and marching through the schedule like a robot from a Tesla demo reel.So what IS the secret? It's adaptability. True, sustainable consistency, the kind that survives germs, grief, “one of those days,” and whatever else life throws at you, is built on having a plan that bends without breaking.In this episode, I break down how you can actually plan for adaptability and why it's not a cop-out, but instead, it's the key.What you'll learn:How adaptability is the true backbone of homeschool consistencyPractical ways to scale schoolwork when time or energy are shortSimple “last resort” activities that count as connection, not failureThe value of planning your Plan B ahead (not during the drama)Why “good enough” still builds a powerful homeschool habit—more than you thinkResources Mentioned:Atomic Habits by James ClearHomeschool Consistency BootcampFree Homeschool CommunityWant to make your Plan B list and finally ditch the guilt on messy days?

When it comes to leading a team, there's no such thing as too much information.Good leadership is about good communication. And for General Stanley McChrystal, that means creating a culture of free-flowing information: “The goal is to have everyone know everything all the time,” he says.McChrystal is a retired four-star general, former commander of US and international forces in Afghanistan, and a renowned leadership expert. In his experience building cohesive teams in complex environments, he's discovered that successful teams are built on a “shared consciousness [where] all have a common contextual understanding of what the situation is.” The key to creating that kind of culture, he says, is radical transparency — from leaders and subordinates alike. Whatever your position, “You are responsible for informing other people of things that they need to know,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McChrystal and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to build shared consciousness within teams, how to communicate across cultural divides, and how to lead with clarity, context, and character.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:General Stanley McChrystalGeneral McChrystal's Books: On Character / Team of Teams155.
