La lutte contre les ingérences numériques et la désinformation progresse. Mais la propagande reste l'un des points faibles de ce combat contre les manipulations de l'information. La propagande sous toutes ses formes, de la plus insidieuse à la plus explicite, met la démocratie au défi quand? sous couvert de liberté d'expression, elle vient entraver l'accès à l'information. À l'occasion de la venue de Volodymyr Zelensky et de la Coalition des volontaires à Paris le 14 juillet, notre invité, Nicolas Tenzer interroge la capacité de l'Europe à assumer un véritable « réveil stratégique » face à la Russie. L'essayiste souligne que l'Ukraine, devenue l'armée la plus aguerrie d'Europe, ayant produit jusqu'à 7 millions de drones et 500 missiles de longue portée, a gagné en autonomie militaire. Un tournant qui remet en cause l'idée même de « grandes puissances » et souligne l'échec stratégique de Moscou. Parallèlement, la propagande russe, qu'elle soit « dure » (théories du complot) ou « douce » (appels à la négociation), continue de sévir, notamment via des médias comme CNews ou Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD). Nicolas Tenzer dénonce le rôle d'« agents d'influence » d'une Xenia Fedorova -ancienne présidente de RT France- et la ligne pro-russe des médias du groupe Bolloré où elle officie, qu'il juge contraires aux intérêts nationaux et européens. La propagande russe derrière le narratif de la paix Peut-on parler de paix à ce stade avec la Russie ? Quels risques ferait peser un compromis territorial avec Moscou sur les États baltes et l'architecture de sécurité européenne ? « Imaginer aujourd'hui une forme de discussion ou de compromis quelconque avec la Russie, notamment un compromis territorial, en ce qui concerne l'Ukraine, ce serait une menace majeure pour l'Europe. » En toile de fond, Nicolas Tenzer rappelle l'enjeu plus large de son livre, La fin de la politique des grandes puissances (Éditions de L'Observatoire), qui défend la capacité des puissances moyennes et des petits États à exister hors des sphères d'influence. *** La chronique de Olivier Fourt de la cellule info vérif de RFI : Comment des comptes pro-AES ont tenté de manipuler l'annonce de la mort d'un soldat français?

Au Mali, entre le 4 et le 9 juillet, l'armée malienne, soutenue par des éléments du corps africain russe, a combattu des groupes terroristes dans la localité d'Anéfis. Cette bataille a donné lieu à la diffusion de fausses infos visant l'armée française qui s'est pourtant retirée du Mali en août 2022. Des infox qui ont tenté de laisser croire à l'implication d'un soldat français aux côtés des rebelles du Front de libération de l'Azawad et du Groupe de soutien à l'islam et aux musulmans. Avec Léonie Magro Del Baño et Adèle Léron L'infox a commencé à circuler à bas bruit, dès la fin des combats les plus durs à Anéfis. Le 9 juillet, un premier post trompeur a été détecté sur X (anciennement Twitter). Son auteur a cherché à détourner l'information faisant état de la perte d'un militaire français en exercice le 7 juillet. Ce légionnaire d'origine russe a trouvé la mort en service lors de manœuvres dans les Alpes. L'état-major français avait alors rendu hommage au sergent Pena, décédé donc accidentellement. Commentaires des comptes pro-AES : « d'autres hypothèses circulent, notamment une possible mort à Anefis au Mali ». Un membre de Wagner, pas un soldat français La manipulation s'est poursuivie avec la publication le lendemain d'une photo censée illustrer la mort de ce soldat français. On y voit, un soldat blanc gisant dans le sable. À l'image, l'homme présente une certaine ressemblance avec le soldat décédé accidentellement dont le portrait officiel a été publié auparavant par l'armée française. Les manipulateurs ont donc joué sur l'origine russe du légionnaire français, et sur cette ressemblance physique pour tenter de semer le trouble dans l'esprit du public. Quand nous avons montré les photos macabres prises dans le désert aux spécialistes Sahel de RFI et France 24, tous ont évoqué des images tournées après la bataille de Tinzaouatène qui s'est déroulée il y a deux ans dans le nord du pays. Une recherche par image inversée a permis de retrouver la même photo du corps, mais avec une qualité supérieure, montrant le même homme gisant dans le sable. Un individu présenté cette fois-ci comme un mercenaire russe. Impossible à vérifier de source indépendante, car l'image provient d'un forum anonyme où n'importe qui peut publier n'importe quoi sans révéler son identité. Des vidéos tournées en 2024 L'analyse d'une vidéo de propagande de six minutes, publiée en 2025 par le FLA à l'occasion du premier anniversaire de la bataille, a permis de retrouver l'image du corps photographié ce jour-là, aux côtés des dépouilles d'autres combattants russes. Les images sont dures, les captures sont floues, mais la disposition des corps, le schéma du camouflage des treillis des soldats, la forme générale du visage et la coupe de cheveux concordent. Cette infox est donc basée sur une image sortie de son contexte : une photo d'archive montrant des éléments de Wagner tués à Tinzaouatène en 2024 et non pas un Français prétendument retrouvé à Anéfis en 2026. Une infox gênante qui n'a pas convaincu Le narratif consistant à affirmer que les militaires français sont complices des terroristes ne date pas d'hier. Dans le cas présent, on note toutefois que cette infox bancale est restée cantonnée aux comptes habituels diffuseurs de la propagande sahélienne. À ce stade, elle a été peu amplifiée. Dans les commentaires, plusieurs utilisateurs ont dénoncé la tentative de manipulation. Signe peut-être aussi d'un narratif qui trouve ses limites, à force d'être répété en boucle depuis quatre ans. À ce stade, X n'a pas collecté plus de 50 000 vues d'après nos recherches. Toutefois, elle constitue une tentative d'usurpation d'identité d'un militaire français décédé dans l'exercice de son métier, et une atteinte à la mémoire de ce soldat.

According to Corporate Visions, 74% of buyers say they faced too many competing options in their last major purchase decision, and instead of selecting a vendor, they just checked out entirely, gave up, and moved on. So, how do you create a buying experience that makes those decisions feel easy? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this are senior enablement program manager Lisa Monahan and account executive Madison Leatham from Pluralsight. Thank you guys for joining us. I’m super excited to talk through this topic with you. I’d love to just hear a little bit about yourself, background, and role. So Lisa, wanna kick us off? Lisa Monahan: Yeah, absolutely. My name’s Lisa Monahan. I live in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, and I’ve been at Pluralsight two and a half years, and I’ve been in enablement for, I guess that’s coming up on four years now. I currently serve our go-to-market tech stack from a strategy and execution standpoint, and that is where I learned about everything I know and love about Highspot. So big Highspot fangirl here. Happy to be here. RR: Amazing. We’re happy to have you here. Madison, can you tell me a little bit about you? Madison Leatham: Yeah, of course. Happy to. I am based out of Salt Lake City, Utah, and I am an account executive on the public sector team here at Pluralsight. I started out as a BDR on the public sector team, eventually moved into a manager role, where I led the same team that I started on as a BDR, as well as our team in Australia, and then more recently became an account executive supporting our higher education partnerships specifically. RR: I can’t wait to dig into all of this wonderful work and experience that you guys have, and then all the complexity and challenges that kind of come with that. So Lisa, I’d love if you could set the stage for us: who Pluralsight is, what you do, who you serve, all that goodness. LM: Absolutely. And Madison, I’m gonna ask you to keep me honest, ’cause I’d love from a seller’s perspective how you would change my pitch. But we are an online learning and workforce development platform serving businesses and individuals alike with on-demand courses, hands-on labs, and skill assessments that help bridge the skill gaps in areas like AI, cybersecurity, and software development, and so on. RR: With that context in mind, I think I’d like to jump into what that world of work kind of looks like today. So Madison, from a sales perspective — BDR and AE roles, managerial roles, helping BDRs succeed — you’ve kind of seen it all. When we look at where we are today versus where things were when you started, what’s changed most about selling over the last few years, and where do you see sellers still struggling the most? ML: So just to talk about both sides of it, starting with prospecting, there’s definitely more of an expectation of personalization and effort. The spray and pray tactics just don’t work. People are a lot more risk-averse. They’re just more busy. You have to do something different to really cut through the noise, prove that you’ve done your homework, and that you deserve their time just based on the research that you’ve done. So finding ways to do something different is always a challenge. It takes more time. I think personally prospecting and getting your foot in the door is really the hardest it’s ever been. And on the selling side, this might not be really new news, but they say it takes a lot more people to decide on purchasing a product nowadays. You’ll see different studies saying different things, but they all just show how the buying group has jumped up in numbers, so there’s a lot more need for collaboration on both sides of the fence for communicating the value to different stakeholders that might have different goals. And then I’d say multi-threading, getting in front of decision-makers is just consistently one of the most challenging aspects. Sometimes it’s tricky because you wanna keep the relationship strong with your main point of contact, not overstep, but you wanna make sure that the value is still being communicated and the pain points are still being properly uncovered and discussed. And you kind of lose control of that when you’re just relying on one person. So I really see that across all the AEs I’ve talked to, all the AEs on my team, that need to multi-thread and how tricky it can be to communicate that value across different stakeholders and throughout the buying group. RR: So it sounds like there are a lot of challenges out there, and it’s a fine line to walk when it comes to balancing your initial point of contact and then doing all of the work that makes a deal successful. Thinking specifically about the AE challenges that now you in this new role are facing, in your day-to-day, some of these things that we talked about, what would you say is most difficult for you when you’re working deals and trying to keep things moving forward? ML: Just visibility into what matters to those fringe stakeholders. So when I say fringe stakeholders, the ones that you know have some sway, but you don’t have that direct contact with. Maybe they join one call, and they were off camera. And then just trying to figure out how do their goals align with the solution? How can I make sure it’s not just that game of telephone, that everyone understands the vision of the solution and the implementation of the solution so that we can really start to focus on aligning the logistics and next steps. So I’d say it’s just being able to get clear communication and more visibility and more people involved to really get those discussions, give them a little bit more oomph and value with each person that has some sway in the deal. RR: Yeah, because if you can’t find those fringe stakeholders, you’ll kind of go sideways, and you lose the momentum that you spent all that time building. One thing that’s funny here, Lisa, are you taking notes? LM: I am. This is on the fly, and I’m like: “Oh, this is so interesting to learn.” RR: You’re sitting here taking notes, hearing these challenges, and being like, “Hmm, how do these fit into my programs? How can I support this?” So when you’re hearing challenges like this from the field, how do you start thinking about solving them? LM: So it’s about making sure that the field is empowered with the tools that can really help them do that deep, intelligent research so that they can speak to the needs and the pain points of these accounts. It can’t just be this very generic as you said at the start of the call spray and pray. It can’t be that anymore, and we know that to be a fact. So it’s ensuring that they have the tools available to them, but also knowing all the different ways that those tools can work with them, not against them, so that it can be simplified. One of the biggest things I care about is reducing tool swivel, making sure that it’s easy for them to get as much done in one place without feeling exhausted by having to go from Gemini to LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Highspot. So trying to make sure it’s as simplified as possible. RR: Having that conversation of swivel chairing has changed so much over the last year. Now there are so many different AI tools that you can layer in, and somehow it seems like the number of tools has shot up. So making it simple is almost harder than ever and a bigger priority than ever. Today, what are you prioritizing, Lisa, to help sellers break through? What’s new? What are you working on to help them cut through that noise and engage buyers effectively? LM: Definitely AI at every step right now, because as you just mentioned, every tool that we use has some level of AI, and making sure that they understand which one is the best one to use in what workflow, in what step: prospecting, outreach, anything like that. So really working hard. And as you said, it feels like the functionality is changing so much right now that I feel like every half day, my strategy of how we’re going to market with AI for our sellers changes. RR: Yeah, and I love that point of utilizing a tool to its fullest. You invest in these things, you need them to work for you. And one of the things that over the years you’ve spoken extensively about is using Digital Rooms as part of the way of simplifying the buyer journey, making it easier to engage your buyers, and then, to your earlier point, Madison, track what’s interesting to them, track who’s in there. So Lisa, with that being a key part of your strategy, can you walk us through why you leaned into that approach? LM: When I was previously at SAP Concur, Digital Rooms were such a huge part of their strategy that they had an entire team dedicated to that. And so when I was there supporting Highspot, I actually didn’t have an opportunity to touch it. It felt like this really powerful feature that seemed unattainable to me. And then when I came to Pluralsight and I was rolling it out here, I had to very quickly learn Digital Rooms, and I have to admit, I was intimidated because of the way that it was handled at my previous employer. But once I came here, I was like, “Oh, it’s actually super easy.” Digital Rooms are very easy to use. It takes just a few minutes to customize one. And what I think is really important about Digital Rooms is what Madison was saying earlier, we don’t have a lot of opportunities to break through and stand out right now. You can send a link to something, you can add an attachment to an email, but being able to build out this very personalized space like a Digital Room, and share highly specific material that reflects the conversations that you’ve had with these accounts, that to me is a huge selling point and why Digital Rooms are so important to have in the seller workflow right now. RR: I would be curious, Madison, because you’ve been here, you’ve traveled through the BDR to AE journey, and trialed all of these different processes at different stages of the sales cycle. From your experience hearing about this Digital Room strategy and thinking about how it shows up in your day-to-day, what kind of changed for you when you started using Digital Rooms? Did you notice a difference in some of those challenges that you talked about earlier? ML: I’ve used it on both the BDR level and the AE level, and it was really cool to see BDRs start to really lean into this because you’re really bringing that research to the prospect. You’re distilling down what aspects of the solution might be the most impactful, and then you put it in a Digital Room, you wrap it in a bow, and then you send it out. And it was cool to have the BDRs get involved with this because when you come in as a BDR, you’re typically newer in sales, newer to the product, and you’re still learning the best way to pitch it. So that was a little bonus from leveraging the Digital Rooms, getting the BDRs to start to really read the one-pagers, learn about the different capabilities so that they could use that in their pitches. And then, yeah, it’s a good way to stand out. If you’ve mentioned that you’ve made a custom Digital Room for someone, it could really pique some curiosity, and it also shows that you put in that work. And so I really think that this changed the mindset as well to really recognize that we need to deliver value even in those initial touch points, and that just gave us a way to do that. And then as an AE, to pivot: I always make a Digital Room for my primary contact. Even if it’s just a quick conversation, a really small team, no matter what, I’ll say it’s for them to reference and also for them to share out with their team. So I think it’s an easy ask for them to just share a link internally, and then all the relevant resources are there on their end. I’ll add custom content as well, any slide decks or proposals, so that it’s not just on my contact’s shoulders to consolidate all the information and try to share it out or create a business case. Everything is right there for them to really just be better at doing that internal selling. Because that’s what it comes down to: how well can you communicate the value to your main point of contact so that they can do it to the fringe stakeholders? RR: I love the story of selling as a game of telephone because you have enablement that needs to help your BDRs be successful, and this Digital Room helps them learn the ropes. And Lisa, I’m assuming you’ve built templates that kind of already explain that narrative. So as a BDR sending that out, they’re also getting enabled a little bit. And then on the other side, you have you as an AE working with a point of contact, telling them a story that maybe as it goes through the works internally gets a little garbled, but now you have control over the fact that it doesn’t. I like that it’s a solution to that very tangled web. I would be curious: you spoke about the alignment element. How are you using things like engagement data, the buyer signals that come out of a Digital Room, to shape what you do next? ML: Good question. In the BDR role, we could track to see if the Digital Room was being viewed. A lot of the times in BDR, you can go a long period of time just sending things into the abyss and not knowing if people are even seeing them or reading them. So with the Digital Room, sending a link instead of that radio silence, you’re able to at least see if they’re clicking into the Digital Room, and then see if there are specific things that they are clicking on within it, which could help guide other outreach. That’s really valuable. On the AE side, from sending out a Digital Room, I can see what’s being downloaded and what’s being viewed, so I can leverage that when prepping for upcoming calls as well. It’s really great information to see what’s getting the attention, and it can help guide my prep. RR: One thing that comes up as you’re talking about these different use case: I’d be curious how you, especially as a solo enabler building this a little bit from the ground up, identified what those Digital Room templates specific teams needed, and then how you started thinking about building a structure that is useful to both your teams and the people that they’re engaging with. LM: That’s a great question. I started with the existing teams that already had it: our pre-sales team. Because of the full relaunch of Highspot, a lot of things were out of our brand scope. So I started with the team that was already using it, rebuilt their templates to reflect the brand standards, and then began working with sellers to understand what they wanted in these new templates. So, aligning very quickly around a simple, easy-to-use quick Digital Room, but then a full one where they could add demos and one-pagers, sections pre-built for all of that. But they would be plugging all that in based on the conversations they’ve had with their accounts. Also, preloading customer stories in there so that it didn’t just go out there with nothing, it already came included with how we’ve helped other customers as well. As it’s evolved, I have a really strong connection with the entire field, and they always come to me when there’s a need for a new template. But that’s how I worked with them. I worked with product marketing to make sure that all of our solutions were in line, that it aligned with brand guidelines, and then it’s just been an ever-evolving process since then. RR: So it really is a very cross-functional process. You’ve got the right message, the right content, it’s structured in the way that sellers like and would use, and then ultimately it drives that engagement that Madison, you’re using to continue progressing your deal. I think that’s one of the things that’s kind of hard sometimes when people are thinking about getting started with Digital Rooms: “Okay, I have a blank Smart Page. What do I put on here? What is useful?” So I think that’s really helpful information. Kind of switching gears a little bit, Madison, can you share a specific example, maybe a recent deal where you used a Digital Room to move a conversation forward, deepen a relationship, or catch a risk, where it was really key and you were like, “Oh, I’m glad I have this”? ML: Yes. Just for some background, we have a solution package called AI Academy, which is this end-to-end program for AI literacy across the organization. It’s not always what we start on when entering into the conversation (our core product might be the point of focus) but I will always put a one-pager on AI Academy in the Digital Room, even if it wasn’t part of that initial conversation. So I actually have an upcoming call with a customer for a follow-up on a deal focused on our core product. And I saw that they had clicked on the AI Academy one-pager in the Digital Room several times, so I know I’m going to prep some questions around their AI goals, make sure I get my pitch perfect for AI Academy, make sure that’s really sharp, and then determine if that solution would be a fit for them during this call. And that was all guided by them clicking on that one-pager so many times, and I would get a notification every time in my email that they had clicked on it, which is always a good dopamine hit. And then another example is a pricing model that we’ll share over a deck during a call, and I had put it in a Digital Room. It was custom to this prospect, and I noticed it was downloaded from the Digital Room, and I got sent that email. I reached out right away right after I got that email I sent a tailored follow-up email, and they were like, “Oh my gosh, you’re a mind reader.” So that was fun. I let them think that. RR: Yeah. It’s a fine balance between “Ah, this helped me fuel my strategy,” and “I feel a little creepy,” but that’s okay. I love those examples, particularly that first one with that cross-sell element, where you would never have known that interest was there otherwise. And so it’s very helpful for you to deepen that relationship, go a little bit further with the opportunity and where you thought it might take you. So that’s super cool to hear. And Lisa, I hope good for you to hear, too, just seeing all the different minute ways that this shows up in a specific deal. I know you see the impact in the usage data, in the adoption data, but here it is in a specific deal, how well it works. Looking across this time where you came in, started rebuilding to now, what impact have you seen across the business since rolling Digital Rooms out, and what are you looking at to tell that it’s working? LM: Well, metrics aside, I’m able to tell that if I ever had to step out for a business month, Madison would be able to run all my Highspot trainings on my behalf and sell Digital Rooms so that’s an impact right there that makes me feel better. But from the start of me entering Pluralsight and relaunching Highspot, we’ve seen an 81% increase in creation of external shares. We’ve also seen a 147% increase in external view time in that same time period, and we’re averaging about 17 views per external share. So the uptick has been massive, and people are engaging with the content that we’re sharing. And also, I continually hear feedback from sellers they come to me and say, “Look at what I built.” A side note from all of that: the fact that I have people who are championing the use of Digital Rooms even when I’m not in the room shows me that it’s had an impact. RR: Yeah, that it’s not behavior change you’re driving. It’s a useful strategy that you’ve handed over and they’ve just run with. I love that 147% increase in buyer view time stat, not only because that’s great for the business, but also because it speaks to one of the challenges you mentioned at the very top, Madison: earning attention. You’re asking for people’s time. You need to put the work in to show that “I’m not wasting your time. I’m giving you something valuable.” And that engagement has shot up so much tells you that your buyers are feeling that, they’re seeing, “This is something built for me, and it’s worth my time to engage,” which is always what you’re looking for. And Lisa, to the point of solving the hard problems and giving sellers what they need, sounds like you’ve done it. I would love to hear a little bit about how you did it. As we’re kind of closing out, I want to hear from both of you on some of the really actionable things that listeners can take away and start doing. So when you were spearheading this rollout and reinforcement process of Digital Rooms, what was your approach? LM: I began working initially with a person who was, at the time, overseeing Digital Rooms for the pre-sales team. I wanted to understand what ownership looked like, what the structure she already had in place looked like, and how we could work together as opposed to me just taking this away from her. So she’s still an avid contributor to Digital Rooms for her org. And beyond that, it was working to very closely align new templates with the branding and making sure that it reflected the Pluralsight that we want to go to market with. That was probably the biggest one. But then I would say the Highspot relaunch in 2024 was a three-phase process: the content side showing them the new structure, the second part was pitching, and the grand finale was Digital Rooms. And that was a full live training where I walked everyone through. And I would say that beyond just that grand finale of showing everyone what Digital Rooms were and how to build them, it was the support mechanism on the back end that I think has made them so successful, and that would include this Digital Rooms Play I’ve built. I think it’s probably the most viewed Play on Highspot at this time, where it has an overview of what Digital Rooms are, why they’re different from pitches, how they’re different from pitches, use cases for different roles, and then showing them different use cases even beyond that. So if I’m a CSM, I can share events with them, I can share renewals and pricing and everything there as well. But I would say I also have a biweekly office hours for Highspot, where I allow people to just come in and ask any questions and that has been widely, widely used. And the final thing is that Highspot and Digital Rooms have a full hour dedicated to it in all revenue onboarding cohorts. Everyone gets an hour with me, and I spend 10 or 15 minutes showing them the platform, but then I stop sharing my screen and re-engage everybody eye to eye. And I tell them a story similar to what Madison said, I engage them by saying, “When was the last time as a seller you sent a really important pitch or pricing documentation over to someone as an attachment via email, and you have no idea what happened to it after you hit send?” And that’s how I get their interest, and I begin to deliver the value of what you can get by using Digital Rooms, the analytics that are a game changer. So that’s how I position it in revenue onboarding and make sure that it’s sticky with them. Then we go through the process of building one. They all have one after that training is over, and then they know all the support mechanisms that exist on the back end after that. Just continual support. RR: Having seen said Digital Rooms Play, I have to plus one that strategy. It’s beautiful, and I don’t know if anyone can build as nice a Smart Page. But what I would say is that it is very challenging, I think, to be a rep and be handed a Digital Room and told — even with a template — “Figure it out.” But having such a structured process of what it can look like, what it can do for you, and how you really get there is so helpful, and I imagine a very useful tactic that anybody starting to launch Digital Rooms or thinking about launching Digital Rooms should put in practice. So plus one-ing that. LM: Yeah. And if I may add, I make sure that even in all the trainings I’m like, “This is yours. This is your jumping off point. Take it, make it whatever you need it to be. I’m here for support, but this is your jumping off point.” Because I don’t know the best thing that works for my accounts at the end of the day. My sellers need to be able to be very adaptable and creative, and I don’t wanna take that juice from them because that may be the thing that makes or breaks their usage of this feature. RR: And because you’ve given them the skills and you’ve really built that foundation, you know that when you give them the keys to the castle, they’re gonna do the right thing with it. One last thing on the topic of launching. When you look back at this process, was there anything that you were like, “This worked really well,” and anything that you were like, “Maybe I would’ve done that differently”? LM: The relaunch happened in four months. That was a full content audit of the entire platform burning everything down, rebuilding it, and also learning Digital Rooms. So I wish I’d had maybe even just one more week to get a little bit more comfortable ahead of that Digital Rooms training. That’s just a personal one. But even to this day, I wish I had more people contributing to the templates, because I don’t ever wanna feel like I’m the gatekeeper there, but I kind of by accident have become. So ideally in the future, I would love to make sure that I have other parties, even our product marketing team, involved in creating those so that there’s more proactive, not reactive, template creation. As opposed to, “Oh, we just launched a new solution, I need to get a new template made,” it could already be ready to go with the new solution launch as well. RR: So it’s giving yourself the right amount of time, creating thoughtfully, bringing in all the people who can inform them, make them as good as possible. That’s great advice. As we’re thinking about building, Madison, as somebody who’s always in the weeds with these, and to your point, you make one for every main stakeholder in every deal, you probably know better than most what a good Digital Room looks like versus a not-so-good one. So when you’re talking to new BDRs or other sellers who are just getting started with Digital Rooms, what do you share as what good looks like? ML: Well, first, I am very grateful that Lisa gave us all keys to the castle. I’m trying to make sure that I don’t abuse those, because I do love just being able to play around with it as much as I possibly can. What I can share, and I’m always looking to improve how I’m doing it as well, some things that I will always do: I’ll always put the logo of the organization at the top of the Digital Room. That’s a given. It really doesn’t take very long, and I like that personal touch with every single one. And then I group sections together so it’s not an overwhelming dump of resources. And I’ll make sure to put my bio at the top just a quick note that sounds pretty personal, but is something that I can easily swap out names on so I’m not spending a lot of time crafting a different message for every single Digital Room. I’ll put my scheduling link at the top, and then just for the sake of time, because I do wanna send a Digital Room out to every single person I talk to I’ll just copy the last Digital Room I created and edit it a little bit to customize. I just think that it’s more important to be consistent with it than to take a lot of time to build it out super custom. So find a way that works for you where it seems really custom, but it’s more or less just copied and pasted with a few things changed, because you wanna be able to get them out. You don’t wanna drop that part of your process. And then it’s nice that as the deal progresses, you can always edit and add along the way it adds a reason to reach out, another touch point. Even today I told someone, “Hey, I just added this one-pager to the Digital Room. I think that you might find this interesting in your conversations” don’t forget to have them internally and tell people about Pluralsight. So that’s always helpful too it can continuously evolve as a deal evolves. RR: Yeah. That’s such a good approach copy the previous one because it saves you so much time. But then you strike a good balance between keeping your deal progressing, still giving attention to all of the other million things on your to-do list, but also giving that gesture of, as a buyer, my time and my attention to give you something more custom. And I also like the point that as the deal progresses, as the conversation continues, it’s gonna become more and more customized, and so that thing that began perhaps a little bit copy and paste is eventually going to become something tailored and 100% unique to this buyer. Great tips there that anyone starting with Digital Rooms can use for their very first one. That is Digital Rooms packaged up in one big life cycle from the enablement to sales perspective, how you built it, how it shows up in the field. That’s incredible. The Pluralsight team never fails to amaze us. You guys are doing such incredible work, and I love hearing how it shows up for you, Madison, because Lisa, we’ve heard the journey the last two years, and seeing the conclusion of it is so cool. Thank you both so much for joining me and telling me a little bit more about it. It was so fun to hear about what’s hard, what you’re figuring out, and how it’s working for you guys. LM: Thank you so much for having us. ML: Yeah, it was great. RR: To our listeners, thank you so much for tuning into this episode of the Win/Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize go-to-market success with Highspot.

En este episodio de DreamPodcast nos centramos en el lanzamiento real de la nueva Neo Geo AES+, el esperado regreso de una de las máquinas más legendarias de la historia del videojuego. Analizamos qué significa que SNK haya decidido revivir la AES en pleno 2026 y debatimos si estamos ante una auténtica celebración de su legado o una apuesta claramente orientada al mercado del coleccionismo premium. También valoramos el impacto que este lanzamiento tiene en la industria retro actual y si puede considerarse uno de los hitos más importantes de los últimos años. Entramos a fondo en el hardware de la AES+, explicando qué implica exactamente este “hardware recreado” y comparándolo con alternativas como FPGA o emulación. Debatimos si tiene sentido mantener la compatibilidad con cartuchos originales hoy en día y qué ventajas reales ofrece frente a las soluciones más modernas para jugar al catálogo de Neo Geo. El precio también es uno de los grandes temas del episodio: analizamos si la AES+ está bien posicionada, a partir de qué cifra pierde interés y si realmente está pensada para el jugador medio o para un perfil de coleccionista de alto nivel. Por último, abrimos debate con la gran pregunta: ¿fue la AES realmente la mejor consola de los 90 o simplemente la hemos idealizado con el paso del tiempo? ¿Es una consola para jugar o para exhibir? ¿Y qué haríamos nosotros: comprar la AES+ o invertir ese dinero en cartuchos originales? Un episodio imprescindible para cualquier fan de SNK, del retro gaming y de la historia de los videojuegos.

Big thanks to TryHackMe for sponsoring this video. Learn Cyber Security with Practical Labs on TryHackMe:https://tryhackme.com/DavidBombalTech Use my code DAVIDTECH25 to get 25% OFF on Annual Subscription! Dr. Mike Pound joins David Bombal to explain symmetric encryption, AES, secret keys, VPN encryption, TLS, block ciphers, stream ciphers and why encryption is one of the most important building blocks in modern cybersecurity. In this video, Mike explains what encryption actually does: it takes readable plaintext and turns it into unreadable ciphertext so that only someone with the correct secret key can decrypt it. He breaks down how symmetric encryption works, why the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt, and why algorithms like AES are used everywhere from secure websites and VPNs to BitLocker and full disk encryption. You'll learn why AES is so fast on modern CPUs, how keys interact with encryption algorithms, and why AES uses rounds of substitution and permutation to scramble data. Mike also explains the difference between block ciphers and stream ciphers, including AES, DES, Triple DES, ChaCha20 and older algorithms like RC4 and A5/1. The discussion also covers why symmetric encryption is used for bulk encryption in protocols like TLS and IPsec, why asymmetric encryption is used differently, and why you should never write your own encryption algorithm or implement your own AES code for real-world security. If you want to understand how encryption protects your data, how VPNs and secure web traffic work, and why AES is still one of the most important algorithms in cybersecurity, this is a great place to start. // Mike SOCIAL // X: / _mikepound YouTube Channel: / computerphile // YouTube Video REFERENCE //Password Cracking: Can a Rainbow table reverse a hashed password?: • Password Cracking: Can a Rainbow table rev... // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

Two Onc Docs, hosted by Samantha A. Armstrong, MD, and Karine Tawagi, MD, is a podcast dedicated to providing current and future oncologists and hematologists with the knowledge they need to ace their boards and deliver quality patient care. Dr Armstrong is a hematologist/oncologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at Indiana University Health in Indianapolis. Dr Tawagi is a hematologist/oncologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at the University of Illinois in Chicago.In this episode, OncLive On Air® partnered with Two Onc Docs to provide a comprehensive review of data from the phase 3 RASolute 302 trial (NCT06625320), a landmark study presented at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting that has established daraxonrasib (RMC-6236) as the new standard of care (SOC) for the second-line treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.The discussion began by highlighting the historical context of second-line treatment, where standard chemotherapy options like FOLFOX (leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) or gemcitabine-based regimens typically yielded a median overall survival (OS) of only approximately 6 to 7 months. Although RAS mutations drive approximately 90% of pancreatic cancers, they were historically considered undruggable. Daraxonrasib addresses this challenge with its mechanism of action of an oral, RAS(ON), multi-selective, tri-complex inhibitor that targets the active GTP-bound state of both mutant and wild-type RAS, covering variants at codons G12, G13, and Q61.The RASolute 302 trial was an international, open-label study that randomly assigned patients with progression after 1 prior line of therapy to receive either daaxonrasib or investigator's choice of chemotherapy. In the RAS G12–mutated subpopulation of patients, daraxonrasib generated a higher median OS compared with chemotherapy. Similar benefits were observed with daraxonrasib in the overall population, where the median progression-free survival nearly doubled.Drs Armstrong and Tawagi emphasized that the toxicities associated with daraxonrasib are highly clinically relevant and distinct from the myelosuppression seen with chemotherapy. Key adverse effects (AEs) include dermatologic events, diarrhea, and stomatitis. Management of these AEs is critical; the hosts recommended the use of prophylactic oral antibiotics and topical corticosteroids to manage rash, alongside standard oral care for mucositis. Despite being associated with these AEs, daraxonrasib was better tolerated than chemotherapy, with a low treatment discontinuation rate due to AEs.Daraxonrasib is currently accessible in the US through an Expanded Access Program and is undergoing accelerated review for full FDA approval. The experts noted that the agent is being further investigated in the frontline setting through the phase 3 RASolute 303 trial (NCT07491445) and in the adjuvant setting via the phase 3 RASolute-304 trial (NCT07252232), potentially expanding the agent's effect across the continuum of pancreatic cancer care.

That gap — between knowing who to call and understanding why it matters — is what Peter Cleary and Tom Sterns set out to close with their book Graphic Sales: How to Build a Prospecting Playbook. The book is unusual. It teaches through illustrated comic strips drawn from real sales disasters, using the Aesop's Fables principle: story first, lesson second. The goal isn't to lecture. It's to help salespeople recognise themselves, laugh at the madness, and do the work better. What Marcus, Peter, and Tom cover Ideal Customer Profile as a foundation — not a filter. The ICP chapter opens the book because everything else depends on it. ICP isn't just demographic targeting. It's understanding the four to six data attributes that signal your solution is genuinely right for a specific buyer — and then thinking critically about what those signals mean in context. Why AI won't solve poor prospecting judgement. Tom shares a cautionary story: he built an AI-assisted prospecting tool for a team, fed it the right signals, and watched conversion rates fall. The problem wasn't the data. It was that automating the research broke the reps' critical thinking. They stopped trusting the information because they hadn't processed it themselves. They started dialling without thinking. Conversion rates recovered only when the reps were given time to verify and reason about the signals themselves. Pre-call planning is a non-negotiable. Hundreds of touchpoints go into booking a meeting. Showing up without reviewing the notes, researching the company, and forming a hypothesis is a dereliction of the role — not just poor practice. The post-call debrief most organisations never do. Standardised post-call analysis is almost universally absent. Marcus describes his red-teaming process: everyone hears the call, debriefs individually, and lessons feed directly into the next pre-call plan. It's how losses become assets rather than embarrassments. Multi-threading vs single-contact selling. SDRs are frequently incentivised to book a meeting with one person and move on. The result is account executives walking into rooms they don't understand, recapping conversations the buyer has already had. Tom and Peter describe pod structures where SDRs and AEs share long-term account ownership — so the knowledge doesn't evaporate at handoff. Meeting buyers where they actually are. Marcus introduces a staged buying journey framework — from centre of dissatisfaction through passive and active looking, to deciding — and maps this against persona data. A buyer who started a new role four weeks ago is in a different conversation than one who looks like they're planning their next move. Timing, relevance, and personal value determine whether a rep gets championed internally. Honesty, pipeline integrity, and what managers actually owe their organisations. Tom shares a pipeline audit story where redefining stage criteria caused the pipeline to drop by two-thirds — and the leadership committee was relieved. Peter and Marcus discuss the cultural cost of managers who manage upwards rather than telling the truth to the people who need to act on it. Key quotes from the episode Marcus: "Haste is different from speed. Most people prospect with haste." Tom: "I don't even care about your product in the first week of onboarding. We're going to focus entirely on your buyer's world." Marcus: "Buyers don't hate being sold to. They hate being sold to badly. And more often than not, the problem isn't laziness or stupidity — it's lack of self-awareness." About the book Graphic Sales: How to Build a Prospecting Playbook by Peter Cleary and Tom Sterns.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week; Autel fights back against the FCC's Covered List, the Michigan House passes two drone procurement bills while stalling on airspace restrictions, a drones-for-good story where a thermal drone saves a life in freezing temperatures. Let's get to it.And first up this week, Autel Robotics has filed a reply with the FCC, arguing that their addition to the Covered List is based on secret evidence and allegations that were actually aimed at DJI. Autel claims they were never given a chance to see the classified material used against them, which they argue violates their Fifth Amendment right to due process. What's really interesting here is that Autel is finally putting their technical operations on the public record. They stated under oath that their flight data is stored locally by default and isn't automatically uploaded to company servers. They also specified that their drone communications and stored data use AES-128 or AES-256 encryption, and that no third party has access to their software. We'll be watching this closely. Next up, let's talk about some state-level regulations. The Michigan House just passed two out of the 15 bills in the SHIELD Michigan drone package. House Bills 5329 and 5331 both focus on procurement. They basically stop state agencies from using state funds to buy drones from companies on federal concern lists, like the DOD's 1260H list. But here's the real story for you as a Part 107 or recreational pilot. The other 13 bills didn't pass. Those were the bills that had us really worried about federal preemption. They included things like criminal penalties for flying over critical infrastructure, giving local police the authority to shoot down or disable drones, and even a mandatory state-run geofencing app. Seeing those 13 bills stall in the House is a huge win for our drone industry. And there's still time to fight the other two, as the bills now go to the Senate for consideration. If you're in Michigan, make your voice heard by reaching out to your State Senator! Last up, the Corman Park Police Service in Saskatchewan, Canada, used their DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise to save a man's life in brutal conditions. Officers were looking for an intoxicated man in minus 20 degree Celsius or minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit weather. The officers deployed their Mavic 3T and were able to pick up the man's heat signature inside a roadside dumpster. Officers were able to get to him before hypothermia set in. Great job to Corman Park Police Service!Join us later for Post Flight in the community, and for the Live Q&A! We'll see you then!https://dronexl.co/2026/05/19/autel-fcc-reply-covered-list-secret-evidence-dji/https://dronexl.co/2026/05/21/dji-mavic-3-enterprise-man-dumpster-20/https://dronexl.co/2026/05/14/michigan-house-passes-2-of-15-shield-drone-bills/

The Industry Shifted From Doing More to Doing Better Kyle's State of the Union in a single sentence: a year ago, AI was being applied to do more things faster. In 2026, the question has become whether those things are being done better. Volume was the first wave. Quality is the second. The vendors who survive the next cycle will be the ones who can demonstrate genuine outcome improvement, not just efficiency gains. 2. The Consolidation Bloodbath Is Over — and the Race Is Back On The expected wave of vendor exits didn't fully materialize, but AI gave surviving vendors the ability to ship value to customers faster than ever before. The competitive dynamics haven't eased — they've intensified. The companies still standing are moving faster, not slower. 3. Build vs. Buy Is Now a Real Strategic Question for TA Teams Enterprise talent acquisition teams are building their own AI workflows in-house, and that's changing the calculus for every vendor on the floor. Kyle's framework for go-to-market leaders: track how much building culture exists in your target accounts before burning sales calories. If a prospect is already building, that's not necessarily a lost sale — but it's a fundamentally different conversation. 4. Recruiting Fraud Has Become a National Security Issue The convergence of application agents, high job-seeker volume, and organized bad actors has turned recruiting fraud from an edge case into a genuine organizational risk. Kyle knows first- degree connections who have had the FBI in their office after hiring agents of foreign states. This is not hypothetical. Every company with any sensitive data or infrastructure is a target. 5. Fraud Detection Isn't One Problem — It's a Stack Problem Interview fraud doesn't have a single point of intervention. It needs to be addressed at the ATS, at the top of the funnel, and through identity verification across multiple interview stages. Kyle's benchmark of 12 AI interviewers found screen analysis capabilities — matching visual identity from interview to interview — becoming a standard feature. Manual workflows are a bridge, not a solution. 6. AI Is Finally Making Benefits Personal at Scale Benefits has always been complicated, jargon-heavy, and delivered as a one-size-fits-all package that employees don't understand. AI chat interfaces that know an employee's profile — single, two dogs, no kids — and can explain in plain language which plan makes sense for their specific life are making personalized benefits navigation possible without requiring an HRBP to sit with every employee. That's a meaningful change in how benefits gets delivered. 7. Candidates Are Getting Smarter About Total Comp — And Recruiters Need to Keep Up Kyle's observation from the market matches what Adam hears in the trenches: candidates are increasingly asking about the full picture of compensation, including employer contributions to healthcare, equity, and benefits value. Recruiters who can't articulate total comp in real numbers are at a disadvantage — and companies that can are converting more offers. 8. The Trust Gap Between Candidates and AI Is a Communication Failure, Not a Technology Failure The friction candidates are experiencing with AI in the hiring process isn't primarily a product problem — it's a communication problem. Employers are deploying AI interviewing, screening, and assessment tools without telling candidates how to use AI, what to expect, or why these tools actually benefit them. That vacuum is being filled by Reddit misinformation and candidate frustration. Simple, proactive communication could close most of that gap. 9. AI Interviewers Eliminate Ghosting — and That Matters More Than People Admit Kyle's case for AI interviewers directed at frustrated candidates: no ghosting (every candidate gets an interview option), 24/7 scheduling flexibility, the ability to self-select out of a bad fit, and a genuine touchpoint with a company that otherwise might never respond. The value proposition is real. The problem is nobody is communicating it clearly to the people who most need to hear it. 10. Practitioners Build Better Best Practices Than Vendors Do Kyle's Human-Centric AI Council — an independent group of HR and talent leaders producing free, practitioner-led resources for navigating AI — is a direct response to the gap between what vendors say about AI and what people actually in the trenches need to know. The best guidance on using AI in HR isn't coming from conference keynotes. It's coming from the people doing the work. 11. Data Labeling Is the Final Mile of AI — and Almost Nobody Is Talking About It Kyle's standout product observation from the conference: Findem's data labeling capability gives AI the contextual grounding it needs to move from generic outputs to genuinely useful ones. The last mile of AI isn't the model — it's how well the data feeding the model is understood and labeled. That's an unsexy insight with enormous downstream impact. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction: The Analyst With the Best Swag Game Adam welcomes Kyle Lagunas — industry analyst, founder, and proud owner of a Peppa Pig cardigan — and sets up a State of the Union on AI in HR tech. 02:30 – State of the Union: From More to Better Kyle's one-line summary: a year ago the industry was doing more stuff. Now it's trying to do better work. What that shift actually means. 05:00 – The Consolidation Question: Is the Bloodbath Over? The expected vendor consolidation didn't fully materialize — but AI unlocked a new level of innovation speed for those who survived, putting the race back on. 07:30 – The Build-vs-Buy Threat: When Clients Become Competitors Enterprise TA teams are building their own AI tools — and what that means for vendors without genuine defensibility beyond workflow automation. 10:00 – Fraud: From Edge Case to FBI in the Office First-degree connections who've had the FBI show up after hiring agents of foreign states. How application agents, volume, and bad actors have converged into a national security problem. 13:00 – Where Fraud Detection Lives in the Stack Fraud isn't one problem with one solution — it needs to be addressed at multiple points from ATS intake through interview identity verification. 16:00 – AI as the Great Equalizer in Benefits How AI chat interfaces are finally making personalized benefits navigation possible at scale — without requiring an HRBP to sit with every employee one-on-one. 19:30 – The Smart Candidate Who Asks About Total Comp Candidates are getting more sophisticated about total compensation — and recruiters need to be ready to explain the full picture in real numbers. 22:00 – The Trust Gap: Candidates, AI, and No One Telling the Rules Employers are deploying AI throughout hiring but issuing no guidance to candidates. The result: friction, mistrust, and a PR problem that doesn't have to exist. 25:00 – The Case for AI Interviewers — Told to the Frustrated Candidate Kyle's win-win reframe: no ghosting, 24/7 scheduling, self-selection out of bad fits, and a real company touchpoint. The value is real; the communication isn't. 28:00 – The Human-Centric AI Council: Practitioners Building the Playbook An independent council of HR and talent leaders producing practitioner-led best practices for navigating AI — free, no vendor influence. 31:00 – Love It: Findem's Data Labeling Capabilities The quiet feature Kyle called the final mile of AI: contextual data labeling that gives models the grounding they need to actually deliver value. 33:30 – Love It: CodeSignal's Persona-Based AI Interviewer The demo that impressed him most — an AI interviewer that adopts the persona of the actual hiring manager, not a generic interviewer. 35:30 – Leave It: Generic Vendors Running the Same Playbook Booths full of AEs, cheap water bottles, same motions. Kyle's prescription: bring your solutions people, bring your product people, bring something worth the conversation. 37:30 – Where to Find Kyle & Transformation Realness kyleandco.com for research, Transformation Realness for the podcast, and LinkedIn where he checks in every morning and afternoon.
Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. You spend hours polishing a deliverable nobody notices. You build a beautiful AI-powered strategy and never implement a single piece of it. You refuse to start because you can't do it "right." In this episode, I break down how perfectionism quietly steals your time, masks deeper fears, and keeps your best work trapped in draft mode, plus the exact tools I use to release the pressure and start shipping work that actually moves deals forward.
Make a Logo on Fiverr Blackmagic Brings Fairlight Into the Live Audio World Blackmagic Design has been steadily building Fairlight into its larger production ecosystem, and at NAB 2026, the company showed off a major step forward: Blackmagic Fairlight Live, a standalone audio mixing system built for live production. Fairlight has long been known as the audio engine inside DaVinci Resolve, giving editors and post-production teams tools for mixing, EQ, compression, gating and audio cleanup. But this new version pulls Fairlight out of Resolve and gives it a dedicated live workflow, designed for people who need to mix audio during events, broadcasts, houses of worship, livestreams and video productions. It Looks Like a Console, But the Mac Does the Heavy Lifting The big thing to understand about Blackmagic Fairlight Live is that the hardware panel is a controller. The actual processing runs on a computer, with Blackmagic showing the system running through a Mac at NAB. That means the console itself is not a traditional all-in-one audio mixer with every input and output built directly into the back. Instead, your audio I/O connects through the computer using interfaces, virtual sound cards or networked audio workflows. The Fairlight Live panel then gives you hands-on control of the mix. That approach may feel different from a traditional soundboard, but it also makes the system more flexible. If your venue already has audio running over Ethernet, Dante Virtual Soundcard, AES, USB, Thunderbolt or another digital audio interface, Fairlight Live can fit into that existing setup without requiring a completely new wiring plan. Built for ATEM and Blackmagic Video Workflows While Fairlight Live can operate as a standalone audio mixer, Blackmagic is clearly positioning it as part of a larger live production chain. The system can pair with ATEM switchers, allowing a dedicated audio operator to control audio separately from the video switcher. That could be a big advantage for churches, live music venues, schools, conference rooms and production teams already using Blackmagic ATEM hardware. Instead of forcing one person to manage both video switching and audio control from the same panel, Fairlight Live gives the audio side its own dedicated surface. 10, 20 and 40 Channel Panels Blackmagic showed multiple Fairlight Live hardware options at NAB, including 10-channel, 20-channel and 40-channel panels. The larger models include multiple screens, giving operators direct access to processing tools and master controls. Those screens can show channel strips, EQ, compression, gates, expanders and other controls, making it feel closer to a traditional digital mixing console. Multiple banks also allow users to layer deeper channel counts beyond the physical faders in front of them. Plugins, Effects and Live Processing Because Fairlight Live runs its processing on the computer, the available CPU power matters. Blackmagic suggested that a newer Mac mini would be a professional baseline, while something like a Mac Studio would offer far more headroom. The system supports the same kind of audio processing users may already know from DaVinci Resolve's Fairlight page. That includes Blackmagic's built-in effects as well as AU and VST plugins from third-party manufacturers. For live production, that means common tools like reverb, delay, EQ and dynamics processing should be available inside the Fairlight workflow. More demanding plugins could introduce latency, so the computer and plugin choices will matter for larger productions. A Possible Replacement for Traditional Live Soundboards For venues already using compact digital mixers, Blackmagic audio workflows could become a serious option. Fairlight Live is designed to replace a traditional soundboard, but with one important caveat: you still need a computer and an audio interface or network audio system to bring signals in and out. The back of the panel includes features like XLR talkback inputs, XLR monitor outputs, Ethernet connections and USB for updates. But the main audio I/O is handled outside the console. That makes Fairlight Live less like a self-contained mixer and more like a control surface for a computer-based live audio system. Remote Control and Flexible Setups Blackmagic also noted that the system can be controlled remotely, including from an iPad. That opens the door for operators to adjust audio from different locations in a room, stage or production space. For live events, that could be especially useful. A venue could have the main Fairlight Live surface at front of house, while another operator or technician checks levels from another position. Release Timing and Platform Support At NAB 2026, Blackmagic said the Fairlight Live software beta was already available on its website, and the hardware panels were expected around the July to August timeframe. The system was shown running on Mac, and while Blackmagic's broader software ecosystem often supports Mac, Windows and Linux, the final platform support for Fairlight Live was still being worked on at the time of the NAB demo. Why Fairlight Live Matters The biggest takeaway is that Blackmagic Fairlight Live brings Blackmagic's audio tools into the same live production conversation as ATEM switchers, 2110 workflows and modern networked production systems. For creators, venues and live production teams already using Blackmagic gear, this could become a more integrated way to manage blackmagic audio without relying on a separate traditional console. It is not just an audio mixer in the old-school sense. It is a computer-powered, software-driven live mixing system with dedicated hardware control — and for Blackmagic users, that could make Fairlight Live one of the most interesting NAB 2026 announcements.

Tracey Ryniec and John Blank discuss the US economy and what stocks to buy right now. (1:00) - Breaking Down The Current State of The Stock Market (26:30) - Where Should You Be Looking To Invest Right Now? (47:00) - Episode Roundup: XOM, AES, AXP
In this episode of The E1B2 Collective Sunday Brief, AJ Vaughan breaks down a hard truth: most HR tech deals aren't lost in procurement—they're lost long before that.Drawing from 80+ monthly conversations with HR leaders, this session challenges the outdated playbook of outbound, inbound, and surface-level demos, and replaces it with a research-driven, relationship-first model built on what AJ calls strategic empathy.At the core of this conversation:Why most AEs fundamentally misunderstand how HR leaders actually buyThe gap between product knowledge and real operational understandingHow poor GTM strategy is quietly driving churn, layoffs, and missed revenueWhy partnerships—not pipelines—are the new growth engineWhat it really takes to meet HR leaders at the right time, in the right placeThis is a direct message to AEs, revenue leaders, and founders. If you're not grounded in real buyer behavior, real context, and real timing, you're guessing.And in this market, guessing is expensive.This is Pulse HR.
According to research by G2, organizations with a sales enablement strategy achieve, on average, a 49% higher win rate on forecasted deals. But to see these kinds of returns, you first need to get sellers, leaders, and the business itself bought into the value of enablement. So, how do you build confidence in the function's value across stakeholders at every level of the business? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic are Mateo Perretta, senior director of revenue enablement, and Bety Garcia, sales enablement program manager at Loopio. Thank you both so much for joining us. I’m really excited to have you here and to learn a little bit from your expertise. Before we kick off, would you mind telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role? Betty, maybe can we start with you? Bety Garcia: Yeah, no, thank you for having us. I’m a sales enablement program manager here at Loopio. I’ve been in enablement for a little bit under a decade at this point. I’ve always been part of pretty small teams, so I’ve had to be pretty creative when it comes to, you know, how do we get a whole bunch of different initiatives done across the board. RR: The story of scrappy teams and figuring it out is one that a lot of folks in enablement know well, so I’m sure there will be a lot of similarities in what you have to share. Matteo, would you mind telling us a little bit about your journey? Matteo Perretta: Yeah, absolutely. And thanks for having us today. You know, it’s interesting. I tell a story about, I started my career in telemarketing. I was in sales support did sales myself. I became a sales leader. And then I stumbled into this thing called sales effectiveness, sales excellence, sales enablement. It’s changed over the years, but probably in 2010 when I stumbled across it. And what I’d like to say is I’ve moved from the game of quantity to quality. RR: From your perspective, having now stumbled into sales effectiveness, now sales enablement and led it at several different companies, how would you define what great enablement looks like, especially for growing GTM organizations like Loopio? MP: I’ve walked into sales organizations and the first feedback I get is, we’ve done way too much enablement. We really haven’t had any time to digest it. And that’s usually a symptom of teams being reactive. What I mean by that is sales leaders and salespeople will come to you and tell you they need all this enablement and you just keep filling that funnel and you almost become a catch-all for everyone versus being proactive and really looking at, you know, data and insights to kind of figure out what do we need to do and how does that actually align to the KPIs or the results and what the organization’s ultimately trying to do? And so for me, it’s really understanding: “What do we have, what are our assets, and how do we align them to our goals?” When you do that, you become a partner and you show them with insight what’s important versus just, you know, being this order taker and doing a lot of enablement that just isn’t resonating. RR: The other piece of the puzzle is giving enablement the agency to kind of direct course and build a strategy with sellers in mind, but also not built for every single thing that every single seller needs, because that is an endless hamster wheel that you will never escape. So I love that call out and I’m curious to hear how technology fits into that when it comes to building a great enablement strategy. Betty, you’ve been with Loopio through a couple of enablement tool changes, including when Loopio made the decision to step away from a previous tool and kind of run without one for six months. Can you walk us through what wasn’t working then and why for a little while maybe no tool was better than the wrong tool? BG: It wasn’t so much that we had issues with the tool itself, but more so what it had become at the time. Right? So like we have a ton of unorganized, outdated content in there. And the problem with something like this at the time is that users don’t tend to be loud about those issues. They tend to just find workarounds. On one hand, you might have, you know, top performers starting to create all of their own content that maybe they share with a few individuals and those individuals might share with others. On the other, you have the opposite of that, where you have a whole bunch of outdated content out there that’s just circulating. And so what this creates is a few different challenges for the team that doesn’t necessarily go noticed right away, which is that the messaging becomes completely random depending on, you know, who knows what, their experience level. That then translates to performance. So, now it’s not just an issue of, you know, do we have a good source of content for everybody to draw from? It’s, you know, how do we get everybody back to performing at the same level with the same level of knowledge and the same level of information? So that was sort of like, you know, stepping back. That was the real challenge that we were looking to solve. And part of what, having that time in between not having a tool and then looking for a new solution to bring into Loopio was having the time to plan for that, right? If we’re gonna do this, how are we gonna do it? There was a lot of planning involved in that and really trying to make that decision and, and started to tie it to the real business challenges that we had there, which was how do we get everybody working at the same level once again? RR: Yeah. And I’m really excited to dig into how you rebuilt that trust, because that’s not easy. So, we’ll touch on that in a minute. I want to start with the decision over that six-month period to strategize how we’re gonna rebuild and then who we’re gonna rebuild with, and eventually that decision led you here to Highspot. Bety, you mentioned that you’d launched Highspot at a previous company. What made you confident over this time as your planning, planning, planning, that this would be the right tool and you’d be able to build that trust in that confidence with your users with it? BG: I think it, I mean, I had a huge advantage, right? Because I had done it a few times, and I mean, had a great positive experience working with the team at Highspot, but also I knew that it was a really great tool, right? It sort of sells itself when it’s launched correctly, right? So instead of evaluating the tool itself, from that standpoint, it was like, great.How do we get strategic about doing a launch that’s gonna be really impactful. And that looked like doing cross-functional partnerships. So working with marketing and product, it wasn’t just an enablement initiative anymore. We really did spend a lot of time doing a ton of content review across the board and reevaluating what it was that we wanted to arm the team with. And then in fact, actually starting to anchor some of our own enablement initiatives into the launch of the tool itself. So when we did launch Highspot at, we actually also relaunched our onboarding program and we launched a whole new product to enablement program. Now, we were touching on the needs of marketing, the needs of product, the needs of our sales organization when it came to even just onboarding and starting to ramp up ours. And we could really start to show that impact very quickly across many different areas. RR: So from that moment, you’ve reached a pretty stable place with the platform and have built out a really robust environment that, just looking at the data, is well utilized by your teams. Matteo, from a leadership perspective, as someone who came in a little bit post-launch: When you joined Loopio and started looking at what you wanted the strategy to look like and the enablement approach to look like, how did Highspot start fitting into your vision as you were thinking about high priority initiatives, things like onboarding, things like, you know, Loopio's, monthly product launch cadence? MP: Yeah. I mean, I think it’s interesting when people say enablement or to define enablement, it’s what’s the modality? And I think a lot of times. People see enablement with a classroom and an instructor up all the time. And one of the things, you know, I kept saying was, you know, it can’t be Bety and me in a classroom every time doing this. And so really Highspot allows us to give them different modalities and look at ways of giving people what they need when they need it. And so I think that was part of the strategy. The other thing was, you know, I’ve spent some time with a Highspot team, like, how are we gonna measure this? How are we gonna prove ROI to our leaders so that we can get them to buy in? I know in speaking to other sales enablement leaders, one of the biggest challenges is actually getting people to complete the courses, and so we’ve gotta make it easy for them. So with Highspot, we can quickly pull reports, help people understand who’s completing, who’s not, but then take it one level deeper. Some of the work that Bety’s done, we’re actually able to look at who are our top performers and how much time they are spending in Highspot versus those that aren’t top performers. There’s a correlation there. To me, that’s the most valuable thing, being able to go back to our leaders and saying: “This is working, this isn’t working. Here’s why we need to change and, and here’s the insight behind it.” RR: You mentioned something interesting there, which is the ability to, at a very granular individual level, see what users are doing, how they’re behaving, what they’re completing or what they’re not completing, and then kind of act on that. And that comes back to what I wanted to touch on, Bety, is driving that end-user adoption. So, how have you gotten reps to see Highspot as a value-add in their day to day, and maybe a little bit more depth on what Matteo touched on in terms of the impact you’ve seen on those high adopters, those high users.? BG: I think it becomes, uh, sort of self-explanatory when you can show what top performers are doing to the rest of the team. Because the minute that you can point to, you know, these people are doing all of these things as well, people get curious. And so it doesn’t have to be enablement asking them to do it. And you also have leaders asking them to do it. A really good example, early on what we did is we ran a Digital Room challenge. So yes, we had a few initiatives that were tied to the launch of Highspot, but I also knew from experience that the more they used Highspot, the more likely we would be able to get that adoption, which then gives us the analytics and gives us the feedback loop that we need to be able to get even better and make an even better experience for them. So we created this competition and had them start using Digital Rooms where, you know, now there was all of this buzz just in terms of like the engagement analytics that they were getting. Top performers shared what they were doing, reps were getting curious about, you know, what was being shared, what was resonating with prospects. And we didn’t have to do any of that. That was a pretty low effort initiative from our end. That was, I would say, more so on the side of how do we, again, build that credibility and get everybody changing the behavior of coming to Highspot all of the time for everything that they need with the understanding that they’re getting the right content at the right time. When we move into sort of ongoing enablement, now that we’ve established that. How do we then also make the same sort of correlations between the top performers who are completing all of the courses or reviewing all of the content that we’re launching in Highspot? People get excited about being able to do something a little bit better, and then that knowledge sharing starts to happen just organically across the board where people will start asking each other: “How do you do this?Can you share this with me? Where did you find this?” RR: I really like the approach where instead of, you know, it being a conventional top-down mandate that maybe doesn’t land with reps as well or feels like a forced addition to their workflow, it was instead more of like a grassroots initiative led through seller competition, which is gonna be there naturally. One piece that you did say is, you know, getting leaders to help you in that mission of getting reps to do the right things. Matteo, can you talk to us about what it’s like to get your leaders bought in? MP: Yeah, I mean, I think it’s interesting. I had a sales leader who once said to me: “Am I flying a plane or am I running a sales team?” And he was making reference to the fact that he had so many dashboards and he didn’t know what to start with. Highspot gives us the ability to pull reports and, and, and track success very quickly so that I can send it to a leader to be able to say, I need you to take action on this. They know exactly what they do, and they know exactly how to act on it. When they’ve got a team of ten and we’re showing that four people are spending more time in Highspot than everyone else, and those four people happen to be performing better than everyone else, you get the leader’s attention and now they know they have to action it because it affects their bottom line and it affects their team performance. Leaders are busy. Tools are supposed to make their lives easier, but if they’re inundated with it and they don’t know what to do with it, that’s where we as enablers need to empower them, give them the resources, give them the insights to be successful. And with the analytics and reporting that we can pull out of Highspot, the tool sells itself and, and they action it because they realize the value. RR: To the point of data. I think a lot of times when you talk about leadership engagement and earning sales, leadership buy-in, it’s really a conversation of like: “Can I convince them of the value?” And more often than not, what is going to convince them is hand them a number and say you can look at it and see that this is what you need to go run and do. So I love that. It’s really just I have a dashboard that tells you how to win. Are you gonna work with me on this or not? When did you feel that shift kind of happening and that accountability shifting from enablement-only to some of the onus going on to sales leaders? MP: One, we track monthly product enablement completion rates. When we made it important to them, they made it important to their AEs and CSMs. All of a sudden you see the completion rates going up. Not only that, we also track, you know, are they mentioning that product enablement from the previous month in their calls? We can start to track their calls and find out, hey, they actually are taking the information. And so for us, it’s not just a completion rate because, let’s face it, people can create a lot of click-through training and they’re just completing it to complete it. We’re actually going one step further or measuring that success or the validity of it, or whether or not they’re using it in their talk tracks. Again, all those numbers go back to the sales leaders, which makes it important to them, which means it’s important to the sales reps because the sales leaders are looking at it, and all of a sudden you’ve got better completions, better progress, and success in winning more because they’re using the assets and the training that you’ve shared with them on Highspot. RR: How are you kind of drawing that conclusion? What are you looking at when you are correlating that top users of Highspot are also our top performers? BG: I mean the, the most straightforward answer to that is that you look at, you know, our Salesforce data to take a look at win things like win rates, deal velocity, ARR, and then look at utilization metrics within Highspot. Beyond that, when you’re thinking about enablement as a whole, it’s almost like there’s a few different stages when I’m thinking about a program in terms of measurement, because the biggest shift that I think we’ve done from an enablement success metric standpoint is really thinking about outcomes, which is what Matteo was sort of alluding to, right? Like enablement always gets stuck in the measurement of completion rates and attendance rates, and that’s a really hard thing to then translate into impact to the business. And so when we’re thinking about outcomes, we’re leveraging a few different tools across the board to build that story. So how do we first deliver the learning? Then, how do we measure how they adopted the learning? And then do we have a way to measure that the behavior has actually become consistent? And so, looking at milestones, if you think about them from that perspective, to be able to measure how we’re doing every single step of the way. Yes, we can, you know, share that the team maybe hasn’t completed something for whatever reason. But when we start to show the outcome of these things, right, like these are the behaviors that are driving the right kinds of numbers that we wanna be able to see in terms of win rates, then it’s not really an issue. Right? It’s sort of like a self-serving argument at this point because it’s such an easy thing to sell to them. RR: It does often happen that I chat with enablement teams and measurement and real outcome and impact mapping is very much kind of a North Star still, and it seems like you guys have comfortably landed in a place where you can consistently point to: “Here is the initiative we’re running, the programs we’re driving, and here is exactly over the course of, you know, today, a month from now and then quarter over quarter, what that impact has had on our reps.” So I would be curious to hear from each of you in terms of the impact you’ve seen over the last, you know, year and change of running with Highspot, executing initiatives through the platform. What have you seen that do to your business outcomes? MP: There’s a lot of ways to measure that business outcome for us. And you know, I’ve heard other enablement teams struggle with how do they actually measure it? For us, every quarter we’re looking at what are our targets, what are we doing, what are the KPIs behind the targets, and how do we align to that? And so we closely manage and monitor our impact and what we’re doing to, what those KPIs are and what the business metrics are. And so when a request comes in, we actually look at it and say: “Hey, what’s the impact?” And if it doesn’t fit within that, rather than put it through Highspot and, and get people to do it, we kind of deprioritize that. I would say that’s probably one of the biggest impacts. The other one is one that I said earlier, which is that we have struggled with product enablement in the past and getting completion rates as most companies do. But I think now with this tool and the insights that we’re able to prove, and the validity and the ROI behind it, we’re seeing better completion rates. And those completion rates, again, are correlating in performance. And that’s really the piece that we continue to drive. RR: Bety from, from your end of things, anything you’d like to add to that in terms of. The impact or outcomes you’re seeing? BG: I mean, one I would say that I could point to is our onboarding program. I think that’s usually the easiest one to measure. The fact that, you know, we were able to launch a really structured, self-led onboarding program within Highspot meant that, you know, even though we have a really small team, I did have time to then focus on business as usual enablement, skills enablement. But you know, being able to rely on that also meant that our ramp became a lot easier to predict. And so even thinking back to, you know, a year ago or so before we had our onboarding program launched, we probably cut the time to get reps to the field by about 25%. Right? And so that’s huge. I, as an enabler, who’s doing all of these different things to be able to rely on things like that when we have a growing team if we’re gonna be successful at anything else that we’re doing. Otherwise you’re, you’re spread too thin and you’re not able to accomplish anything. It’s really great to be able to show from an organizational standpoint that what we are putting out from an enablement side is impacting other initiatives across departments. Right? So the biggest questions we sometimes get is like: “Great, we did all this training, but is the team actually selling that? Or we have new messaging, like how do we ensure that everybody is actually working on that? When you’ve been able to tie some of those behaviors to, well, we started here, right?” We were not just focused on whether or not they were looking at the content. We were actually focused on whether or not they actually learned something from it. That it's part of their overall deal management. RR: So it sounds like kind of the broad, overarching theme there is that you’ve been able to drive consistency. You have folks ramping at a standard time, you can reliably say, our program is working and it’s working faster on ongoing training. People are completing the work that they need to, to be ready for all of these product launches, and then all of that work is translating into better returns in the field down the line. So it’s kind of just a full end-to-end process that gets a rep ready to go and delivering better. Looking back at all of this work, Matteo, I would love to hear from you. What, if any, other signals are you looking at that tell you that this is, this is the right approach that you and the team have developed something that really sustainably works? MP: I think sometimes if you’re not getting people training or not getting people completed, it’s because it’s too hard. They couldn’t find it, they couldn’t locate it. You know, I wish we had everything in one central, you know, repository. With Highspot, we have that, and ultimately the experience for the AEs and the AMS and CSMs to complete training is much better because of a tool like Highspot. Ultimately, that’s the, I think, the best measurement, and that’s why we know it’s working well. RR: To go way back to the very beginning about what you were saying, Bety, with the earlier solution that maybe just had kind of broken down and folks were quietly unhappy, not saying anything to go to a point now where you have people coming to you and telling you: “This works. I like it. Please keep going.” I think you’re right to say that that is the best signal and that tells you that everything that you’re doing is delivering exactly what you would hope it would. So fantastic to hear, especially knowing that you both are running this from a relatively small team. So I’d love it if you could close us out with some advice for other folks, maybe working on small teams. What advice would you give them when it comes to developing a scaled program that they can run consistently and reliably? BG: I think I kind of said this at the very beginning, like, you do need to get creative. Anytime that you can do more with less, I guess is the best way to put it, you’re going to get so much more return for your effort. And what I mean by that is, you know, I mentioned, you know, having onboarding, product enablement, everything tied in into the launch of Highspot. That was very intentional. If I’m doing something to make a launch a success, but it’s also benefiting other initiatives that I’m also responsible for, then I’m multiplying the effort that I’m putting into that work. And the other piece is you, and you kind of touched on this, the positive feedback from the team is super important with any sort of implementation for a new tool. Your biggest, biggest challenge is first credibility, and the second is adoption. I would say like, celebrate your wins often and, and like in as many ways as you can. So, you know, the Digital Room, while that was, you know, just a fun challenge to put out there to the team, what it actually did is it created a ton of buzz, right? And so people were essentially showing the rest of the business, like leaders and others around them, that this was a tool worth looking at and worth implementing into their day to day. If you can get creative there, in terms of not just showing the numbers. But actually having people talk about how great something is, that’s huge. And so really always celebrate the wins in every single way that you can. RR: That’s such great advice because it recognizes the people who are doing what you want them to and gives them a little bit of a thank you for it. And then it also, to your point earlier, drives that competition for everybody who’s trying to achieve those exact same outcomes. Matteo, any advice from your time here now at Loopio that you, you’d like to share? MP: Yeah, I mean, I think with smaller teams, there’s two things that come to mind. One, if you can’t measure it, ask yourselves and your leaders, why are we doing it. The second one is you have to enable your managers and your leaders to be enablers. That’s the way you can scale, and we spent a lot of time, Bety and I, meeting with the managers, collaborating with them, coming up with agendas, coming up with ideas, but then also delivering workshops together in tandem. And so if you’re gonna have any tool or anything that you’re trying to drive, you’ve gotta get their buy-in, but then also help them be enablers and, and when you do that, you can scale. RR: Yeah, maybe your team isn’t huge, but if you have champions across the organization advocating for you, well, all of a sudden you’ve doubled your capacity somehow. Bety, Mateo, thank you so much for joining us today. MP: Thank you for having us. RR: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win/Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize go-to-market success with Highspot.
Situación ahora en Mali – 26 de abril de 2026 (mañana) La tensión sigue muy alta tras la ofensiva coordinada sin precedentes que vivió el país ayer, 25 de abril. JNIM (filial de Al Qaeda) y el Frente de Liberación del Azawad (FLA, separatistas tuareg) lanzaron ataques simultáneos en múltiples frentes: Kati (el corazón militar de la junta, a 15 km de Bamako), el aeropuerto de Bamako, Gao, Kidal, Sévaré y Mopti. Lo que sabemos a esta hora (datos contrastados): - Kati y Bamako: Explosiones fuertes y fuego sostenido durante horas. JNIM reivindicó haber atacado la residencia del ministro de Defensa Sadio Camara (que quedó destruida) y otras instalaciones clave. El ejército maliense (FAMa) reconoce “ataques complejos simultáneos” pero afirma que “la situación está bajo control” y que han eliminado a cientos de atacantes. - Norte y centro: Los tuareg del FLA afirman haber tomado posiciones en Kidal y Gao. Los combates fueron especialmente intensos en Sévaré y Mopti. - Medidas de emergencia: Toque de queda de 72 horas en Bamako (de 21:00 a 06:00 hasta el 28 de abril). Aeropuerto cerrado temporalmente. La ONU y embajadas occidentales mantienen alertas máximas y piden a sus ciudadanos refugiarse. JNIM ha emitido un comunicado reivindicando la operación y coordinada con los tuareg. Analistas de Crisis Group, ACLED y medios como Reuters, Al Jazeera y The New York Times lo califican como “la ofensiva más ambiciosa y coordinada desde 2012”. ¿Y el Afrika Korps ruso? Como siempre en Bellumartis: análisis cercano, riguroso y honesto. ¿Qué opináis vosotros ahora? ¿Es esto el principio de un colapso mayor o la junta conseguirá aguantar? ¿La baja implicación del Africa Korps confirma una retirada rusa en toda regla? ¿Riesgo real de contagio a Burkina Faso y Níger (AES)? ¡Lanzad vuestras preguntas y comentarios!

In this special episode, we revisit a past conversation with Hilary Maxson and explore why her appointment as CFO of Oracle Corporation comes at such a consequential moment. As Oracle accelerates investments in AI infrastructure and cloud capacity, the finance role now extends well beyond stewardship into capital allocation, operational discipline, and long-term value creation. Maxson's career—from banking to global leadership roles at AES and Schneider Electric—offers clues to why she may be uniquely suited for this chapter. Joining us is industry analyst Bob Evans, who helps unpack what the hire could signal about Oracle's future direction.

US Middle East tensions are worsening as China mobilizes its navy to block South China Sea shipping lanes carrying 30% of global trade. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is pushing full-scale war for Israel, expanding FISA surveillance, and covering up the Epstein files. Trump supporters, including Christians, now compare him to Jesus and his critics to Pharisees, led by Lindsey Graham and Pete Hegseth. The author's father has cut ties with him and his grandchildren over blind loyalty to Trump, whom he calls a war-criminal pedophile. Stew drops bombs on the Charlie Kirk assassination as a high-level military hit out of Fort Huachuca to silence a man who broke from the Zionist war machine and the pedophile protection racket. From Pete Hegseth's Gulfstream making SAM flights into the base the exact days Erica Kirk and Cabot Phillips were spotted there, to the same plane circling the exploding AES facility while the 10th Mountain Division was quietly purged, the cover-up runs straight to the top of the Trump administration and the Zionist-occupied government.

Party leaflet Despite continual imperialist attempts at sabotage and overthrow, the AES states continue to push forward with development, prioritising the needs of the masses. The Sahel states' partnerships with China and Russia have been proving that there is a path to development outside of imperialist dominion. China is helping AES nations to exploit their abundant mineral resources (the region has some of the largest gold, uranium, lithium and diamond reserves in the world) and to build infrastructure. Russia is helping them in the military fight to wipe out west-backed terrorism – a virulent plague that was facilitated by Nato's destruction of the anti-imperialist Libya of Colonel Gaddafi.

What if your marketing team could predict revenue like a finance team predicts cash flow? Daniel sits down with Aviv Canaani (CRO & CMO of DataRails) to break down how to actually build a predictable revenue engine. Aviv shares how he reverse engineers aggressive revenue targets into pipeline, meetings, and budget, and why most companies get this wrong by hiring more reps instead of fixing demand. They go into the mechanics: cost per meeting, conversion rates, tiered lead scoring, and how to align marketing, SDRs, and sales into one machine. Aviv also explains why he eliminated prospecting for AEs entirely…and instead built a system where marketing fills calendars at scale. If you're trying to prove marketing ROI, scale pipeline predictably, or turn marketing into a true revenue driver, this episode is for YOU. https://customer.io helps brands turn data into personalized messages that actually connect, across email, SMS, and beyond.

In this episode of Culture Into Quota, AJ Vaughan tackles one of the most uncomfortable truths in HR technology and enterprise sales: most deals fail not because the product is weak, but because the organization isn't actually ready for it.AJ breaks down the dangerous gap between revenue expectations and market reality, explaining why founders, CROs, AEs, and even HR leaders often operate without the real operational data needed to make sound technology decisions. The result? Forced narratives, misaligned forecasts, and conversations happening with leaders who may hold titles—but not true decision gravity.This episode challenges HR tech revenue teams to rethink how they approach discovery, forecasting, and stakeholder alignment. It also calls on HR leaders to get closer to the real business problems inside product, marketing, and revenue teams before evaluating new technology.Key themes in this episode include:Why doesn't every C-suite title actually carry decision powerThe dangerous disconnect between board-level projections and real buying cyclesHow HR leaders can better align with revenue, product, and financeWhy authentic discovery matters more than product pitchingThe concept of decision gravity and how it shapes enterprise dealsIf you're selling into HR or leading HR inside a scaling organization, this episode offers a powerful reminder: before discussing tools, features, or demos, you must first understand where real business problems actually live inside the organization. This is Culture Into Quota - where leadership, culture, and revenue strategy finally meet in the same conversation.
