In this episode of No Brainer, hosts Geoff Livingston and Greg Verdino discussed the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in business with Mike Whitaker (Whit for short), Senior Vice President of Strategy Execution and Organizational Innovation at ICF Consulting. Whit shares his insights on fostering a culture of AI adoption and offers practical advice on navigating the challenges of integrating AI into business operations. The three discuss various aspects of AI adoption in the enterprise, including the need for both leaders and employees to engage with AI technologies to stay relevant. Whit details some of the challenges leaders face including new technology bias and the incumbent need for leaders to demonstrate AI use in their own work. Then Whit emphasized the importance of a hands-on, continuous learning approach to AI, rather than relying solely on obsolete corporate training programs. They also explore the potential risks and real-world constraints of AI implementation, such as data integrity and resistance to change.

Show Notes: Kendalle Cobb, a family physician, has been practicing in Cleveland since 2004. She graduated from George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC and completed her family medicine residency at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Fontana, California. After a year in Boston, she returned to serve on the faculty at her former residency program. She met her husband, who taught at a boarding school in Claremont, California, and after they got married, they moved to Cleveland to be closer to his family. Family Physician and Physician Advisor Kendalle shares that family medicine, as a primary care specialty, takes a more holistic approach with the inclusion of counseling and a “cradle to grave” mentality that follows the patient through different stages of life. She sees patients 50% of the time in a family health center in the community. The rest of her time is spent as one of the associate chiefs of staff and as a physician advisor at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, a five-year program that trains students to be physician investigators, focusing on research, scholarship, personal and professional development, and reflective practice. The physician advisor attests to the students' competency report is representative of the feedback that the students receive. Supporting Medical Students Kendalle talks about working as a physician advisor. She shares what she has learned in this role. One aspect she has realized is that people are often used to being self-sufficient, making it challenging to ask for help or to work in collaborative environments. She explains what some students struggled with in terms of peer-to-peer interaction, challenges of the assessment system, and accepting that there will always be areas of improvement. Kendalle helps normalize expectations for students. She also talks about the connections between her work as a physician advisor and as a family physician. The Partnership Aspect of Medicine When Kendalle first thought about becoming a doctor, she initially had an idea of being able to fix things, but now she appreciates the partnership aspect of medicine where she accompanies people along their path. She mentions that there is often a difference between the textbook ideal treatment and what's best for the patient in front of her. She explains that medicine is a team sport, and group work requires trust and collaboration, and while she didn't like group work in school, she realizes that, in medicine, no individual can do everything, and doctors rely on others to answer phones, send messages, and process refill requests. By understanding and addressing these challenges, doctors can help their students navigate the challenges they face and become better doctors. Counseling and Family Medicine Kendalle talks about how family medicine and her approach to counseling has evolved over time. During her residency, one afternoon a week was dedicated to mental health, in addition to didactic sessions, she had two hour-long patients, supervised by a family physician and psychiatrist. Over the course of her residency, she had an increasing number of clinic sessions to see an increasing number of patients with various physical and mental health concerns. She learned that some people just want to share their feelings without wanting to change anything. She shares a story of a patient who was upset about a situation, and although their conversation was not health related, it helped Kendalle support the patient in figuring out next steps. In addition to counseling, she also learned to use tactical phrases and questions to help patients make decisions that align with their goals. This approach allows for more effective communication and understanding of patients' needs and concerns. Creating a Safe Space for All Patients Kendalle discusses the importance of understanding and addressing various health issues in healthcare settings. She shares her experiences with the stub toe theory, which is really "broken arm theory," which is when a doctor attributes any concern with which a patient presents, to some other risk factor (smoking, obesity, gender identity). She also discusses the importance of considering factors that can affect health in interacting with patients. She shares a case of a woman with previously well-controlled blood pressure whose blood pressure was high. Kendalle uncovered a social stressor. Kendalle emphasizes the need to consider different priorities and the reasons behind people's decisions regarding their health. She avoids asking the question "why" and instead asks "what factors contributed" to the patient's decision or thoughts about their health issues. This approach helps patients feel less defensive and allows Kendalle to better partner with patients to manage their health. Confidentiality in the Doctor's Office Kendalle explains that she is often the doctor for more than one generation in a family, and she shares a story that stresses the importance of confidentiality in the doctor's office. She also talks about how difficult it can be when extended family members want to become her patients, but the fact that the family entrusts the doctor with their loved ones is special. She also talks about the trust, gratitude, and grace shown by the patients, and how these are the moments that stay with her. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Kendalle mentions history professor Michael McCormick, who helped her develop confidence in analyzing primary sources from medieval and early modern Europe. She also mentions fundraising for CityStep by organizing a formal event in Memorial Hall.

Building a firm doesn't always follow a straight line—and sometimes that's the advantage. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I sit down with Garrett Cottle, co-founder of Momentum Wealth Management, to talk about how adaptability, personal authenticity, and strategic thinking can shape a successful practice. From a start in music to a pivot into banking and eventually into financial advising, Garrett's journey reflects what many advisors experience: figuring it out as you go, but doing so with intention. We explore how smaller firms can punch above their weight by staying nimble, leaning into their strengths, and making smart, client-focused decisions.Garrett shares how his team prioritizes relationship-building at every step—delivering personalized, memorable experiences that go far beyond performance reports or annual reviews. Whether it's a welcome gift or proactive milestone check-ins, these human touches create the kind of loyalty and word-of-mouth growth that marketing dollars can't buy. We also dig into how firms like his are using tech not just to “keep up,” but to lead—leveraging AI and customized CRMs to stay responsive, efficient, and scalable without adding complexity or headcount.What stood out most in our conversation is Garrett's mindset: stay curious, be intentional, and never stop evolving. He's not chasing scale for scale's sake—he's building a firm that reflects his values and serves clients in meaningful ways. As the industry changes, it's that kind of clarity and adaptability that will set advisors apart. It's not always about size or credentials—it's about purpose, discipline, and the willingness to think a little differently.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. Many nonprofits today are worried about recent federal actions that may bring governmental scrutiny to their stated charitable mission and activities, such as audits, congressional investigations, and even threats to their status as charities described in Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The best advice for many of those organizations is to start with a thorough review of their compliance with all federal tax laws, with the assistance of legal counsel. For many organizations, there simply isn't room in their budget to engage a specialist lawyer with expertise in these areas, so they look to friends and family for a lawyer willing to assist pro bono. This episode is for those wonderful lawyers who are willing to lend a hand but need to come up to speed quickly on the traps for the unwary in this field. This refreshed episode first dropped in October of 2022. Listeners who want more information along these lines can take a look at the show notes for links to other episodes of the show that take a closer look at these traps.

In today's episode of The Daily Windup, we have our guest who shares valuable insights for small businesses looking to secure government contracts. We talk about the importance of understanding the target company and its procurement needs. Advising small businesses to research the company's upcoming bids and analyze the scope of work in previous or draft requests for proposals (RFPs). By identifying areas where your company excels and can offer better value, small businesses can approach the larger company and propose a partnership. We also provide you resources for conducting research, such as the Federal Procurement Data System (fpds.gov), where small businesses can look up contracts won by a company. Additionally, you can explore the General Services Administration (GSA) schedules and search for labor categories or products that align with your own offerings. By conducting thorough research beyond the surface-level information on a company's website, small businesses can identify potential opportunities and increase their chances of partnering with larger companies for government contracts.

He has since also launched LawDroid Builder, a no-code platform for creating custom AI agents. Beyond his work at LawDroid, Martin is an adjunct professor at Suffolk Law School, teaching "Generative AI and the Delivery of Legal Services," and is a co-founder of the American Legal Technology Awards, which will be holding its sixth annual ceremony this October in Boston.
