St Clair Newbern is the CEO of Live Energy Inc., a Colleyville, Texas-based energy broker that helps large commercial clients procure and manage their electricity and natural gas needs. Under his leadership, Live Energy has served businesses across the country for over 20 years, leveraging industry expertise and technology to optimize energy strategies for clients — he also boasts an extensive entrepreneurial background. In addition to his energy industry work, St Clair has recently launched an AI consultancy, diving deep into practical applications of autonomous AI agents and building innovative solutions for knowledge work. In this episode… In a world where automation is becoming increasingly crucial, how far can we push AI to truly enhance business operations? Imagine an AI agent that doesn't just assist with tasks but takes full ownership, running seamlessly 24/7. Could this be the future of work? According to St Clair Newbern, a seasoned entrepreneur with deep roots in AI and energy, the future lies in giving AI true autonomy. Drawing from his experience building autonomous systems, St Clair explains how an open-source AI agent, capable of managing complex projects, sending emails, and even performing research while you sleep, could revolutionize productivity. The real magic, he argues, lies in the model's ability to self-manage, persistently learn, and maintain continuity across tasks — an unprecedented level of automation that empowers businesses to scale without increasing headcount. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews St Clair Newbern, the CEO of Live Energy Inc., to discuss building and harnessing an autonomous open-source AI agent for business. St Clair shares insights on creating AI that acts like a high-performing employee, the architecture behind persistent memory in AI, and how businesses can leverage AI agents to streamline operations.

Welcome back to Tom Ferry's Outliers Series—where we study the disciplines of agents who are doing extraordinary things.   This week, Tom talks with Ryan Carney – who closed 32 transactions in his very FIRST YEAR as an agent (27 of them from expired listings and FSBOs).    Whether you're a new agent or an experienced pro looking to level up your game, this is a must-watch episode where you'll learn: How “The Mirror Effect” is the #1 thing that makes successful agents The 12-hour execution rule that changes everything Why you should be waking up before 4 AM The emotional regulation strategy that keeps him calm in chaos   Ryan didn't come from a warm database. He didn't have years of connections. He built his business through cold calling, discipline, and refusing to negotiate with himself.   But let me give away a major spoiler from the episode… The difference that made the difference for Ryan… It's Tom Ferry Coaching.   Most agents are grinding without a clear system. They're inconsistent. They lack accountability. And they're one decision away from everything changing.   That's exactly what Tom's Elite Coaching Deal is designed to solve. This is the proven system that's helped thousands of agents go from stuck to unstoppable—with the structure, accountability, and expert guidance that outliers use to win.   This insane deal won't last long.

After years of ignoring and maligning Windows, Microsoft has finally woken up and is making some happy noises. Last week, we discussed how Microsoft plans to improve the quality of Windows and that there are already many signs of that work in various security features and new OneDrive Folder Backup changes - plus those two new direct reports to Nadella. Then, Microsoft announced its Windows Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent initiatives with questions about the timing. And now, Microsoft just explained Windows 11 version 26H1, and it's not like 24H2 at all despite being tied to Snapdragon X2 silicon.Something happened ... and that something is tied to 26H1 26H1: Only for Snapdragon X2, a "scoped release," based on a "different core" from 24H2 and 25H2 You cannot upgrade 24H2 or 25H2 to 26H1 You cannot upgrade 26H1 to 26H2 (!) - instead, those on 26H1 "will have a path to update in a future Windows release." - Is that future Windows release Windows 12? Probably 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1 will all have the same user-facing features, this has been the case with all support Windows (11) versions for 2+ years (Remember, this is not what happened with 24H2. Shipped early on Snapdragon X1, but was made available to all Windows 11 PCs later that year) So why is this happening now?

I built a 10-agent digital employee team using OpenClaw—and I'm walking through exactly how it works, what's actually valuable, what's not, and how a non-technical operator can go from zero to a persistent, always-on agent stack. This episode breaks down the architecture behind my builder bot, research agents powering AIDB Intelligence, project manager agents for Superintelligent and growth initiatives, a chief of staff layer, and the task agent that's quietly become indispensable—plus lessons on heartbeats, mobile management, ROI realities, security tradeoffs, and why your real unlock isn't YouTube tutorials but an AI build partner guiding you step by step.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

In Episode 176 of The Liquidity Event, Shane is joined by Brooklyn Fi Senior Financial Planner Kody Sherlund to unpack a mix of personal finance headlines and real-world planning questions. They kick things off with an IRS agent who moonlights as an NFL referee and what that says about modern "two-job" America. Then they break down what happens when a 529 plan is overfunded, whether insider stock purchases are actually a bullish signal, and why diversification still matters even when markets feel unpredictable. The episode also covers Anthropic's reported $300B valuation and employee tender offer, including what to consider before selling private company shares. Finally, they tackle a Reddit question: can a couple earning $750K–$850K afford a $1.8M home in the NYC suburbs?

What happens when decades of trusted learning and development expertise meet purpose-built AI? In this episode, Ken Taylor, CEO of Training Industry, and Amanda Longo, Vice President of Brand Strategy, explore TIA, Training Industry's new AI-powered assistant, designed specifically for L&D professionals to support learning strategy and performance.Show Notes:Ken Taylor and Amanda Longo from Training Industry share the benefits of their organization's AI Agent TIA including these key points:TIA is built for L&D and nothing else. Unlike general AI tools, TIA is trained exclusively on Training Industry's vetted content, including research reports, articles, webinars, and expert contributions. This ensures responses are relevant, credible, and grounded in the realities of learning and development work.Transparency and attribution are non-negotiable. A core design principle of TIA is showing users exactly where information comes from. Every response is sourced, allowing learning leaders to explore original articles, compare perspectives, and build confidence in the guidance they receive.Guardrails matter for trust and quality. TIA is intentionally limited to Training Industry's content ecosystem. If the answer isn't there, TIA says so—reducing AI hallucinations and reinforcing integrity over convenience.TIA supports preparation, not content creation. TIA isn't meant to replace instructional designers or subject matter experts. Instead, it helps learning leaders think through structure, strategy, and next steps—making the human work faster and more informed.AI works best when paired with community. TIA is designed to complement Training Industry's peer and expert network. Learning leaders can use AI-generated insights as a springboard into conversations with practitioners, contributors, and Training Industry staff—turning AI into a catalyst for connected learning.Related Articles:[Product Demo] Meet Tia, Your AI Agent for Solving L&D ChallengesHow Training Industry Turned Two Decades of Knowledge Into an AI Agent: A Case StudyPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Krishna Balusu of Meta Platforms about how large-scale digital platforms are using AI agents to improve reliability, performance, and operational resilience behind the scenes. Balusu explained that Meta is actively deploying internal AI agents—designed not for end users, but for developers and operations teams—to identify and troubleshoot platform issues automatically. These agents, part of an internal system known as Opsmate, monitor performance signals such as slow load times or degraded user experiences and work to identify root causes without requiring immediate human intervention. “It's almost like hiring an employee whose job is to retrace the steps a human engineer would take to find the root cause of a problem,” Balusu said, describing how the system reduces operational load on engineering teams. Rather than being self-healing in a purely heuristic sense, Balusu noted that modern platforms face constant change—from weekly application updates and operating system revisions to sudden spikes in traffic driven by global events. AI agents provide a flexible way to reason across many possible variables in real time, proactively isolating issues and accelerating resolution. These agents are already in use on Facebook and Messenger, with broader expansion planned over time. Looking ahead, Balusu suggested that this operational use of AI represents an early stage of a broader shift in software development. As AI systems take on more coding, diagnostics, and analysis tasks, engineers increasingly act as orchestrators and decision-makers rather than line-by-line developers. “We're moving toward a world where engineers manage AI agents instead of writing and reviewing code themselves,” he said, highlighting how agentic AI is reshaping the future of large-scale platform engineering.

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Lyle Pratt, CEO of Vida, about the company's latest release: an expanded AI Agent Operating System designed for enterprise scale and built specifically for MSPs and channel partners. Vida provides AI-powered phone agents that integrate directly into existing UCaaS and telecom environments. With native SIP registration, Vida's agents can register back to an MSP's current UCaaS platform and appear just like any other VoIP endpoint. The new release enhances omnichannel capabilities, centralized control, observability, billing integrations, and reseller management—allowing MSPs to deploy, monitor, and monetize AI agents at scale across multiple customers. Pratt emphasized that the platform was architected from a telecom channel background. “We've designed the OS specifically for MSPs,” he said. “We make it extremely easy to roll those out to all your customers using our AI Agent OS.” Vida supports a multi-tier model—partners, resellers, enterprises, and agents—enabling white-label deployments where MSPs retain brand control and pricing authority. The platform also includes built-in billing and reporting capabilities to streamline recurring revenue operations. A key opportunity lies in redirecting call traffic that traditionally flows to third-party call centers or BPOs. Vida's AI phone agents can handle first-tier interactions at approximately 15 cents per minute, enabling MSPs to capture revenue streams that previously bypassed them. “Software is going to begin to eat into the labor market,” Pratt noted. “And that actually is great for MSPs because they sell software solutions—now they can collect those margins for themselves.” As AI continues to reshape communications infrastructure, Vida is positioning its platform as the backbone for next-generation IVRs, auto attendants, and voice-driven automation. With SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance, flexible integrations, and omnichannel automation capabilities across voice, SMS, and email, the company is aiming to simplify AI deployment for MSPs while opening new, high-margin revenue paths.

In this episode, my guest is Allan Dalton, former CEO of Realtor.com and author of Agent to AIgent, about how AI is changing the economics of real estate. Allan explains why agents must shift from transactional work to consultative, in-home advisory roles as consumers increasingly use AI first. The conversation explores the loyalty gap, the move from search to seek, and why mindset and relationship-building matter more than ever in an AI-driven market.

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, John Siefert, host and CEO, Dynamic Communities and Cloud Wars, is joined by Jen Harris, CEO of TMC, to explore how AI agents, automation, and mindset shifts are redefining business. Their discussion spans TMC's acquisition of TMG, leadership in the partner ecosystem, and why reimagining work is critical now, setting the stage for conversations at the 2026 AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA.Key TakeawaysAI Requires Commitment, Not Caution: Harris emphasizes that half-measures slow progress more than they reduce risk. Organizations that just try one thing often abandon AI too quickly because early results aren't perfect. She notes, “You fail first at new things,” adding that true adoption requires patience, leadership backing, and a willingness to accept short-term discomfort for long-term gains.Solutions Beat Technology Stacks: Customers no longer want disconnected tools; they want outcomes. Harris explains that clients expect partners to “meet them where they are,” combining Power Platform, Azure, data, and AI into real solutions.Mindset Is the Real Bottleneck: While AI is already embedded in daily life, Harris observes resistance when it enters core business roles. “It's not quite here yet” is often code for fear of job impact. She challenges leaders to reframe AI as a workload reducer, asking, “What if it would make you less busy?”Reactive Roles Are Disappearing: Harris highlights a coming shift as agents take over repetitive, reactive work. Professionals who built careers on being indispensable specialists must evolve. People will move toward proactive creation, strategy, and value generation.Human Connection Still Matters: Despite rapid automation, Harris stresses that humanity isn't going away. Reflecting on in-person events, she says, “Look at you — you came out of your offices on a cold day, and we're talking.” AI may scale intelligence, but trust, inspiration, and shared understanding still comes from people.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes two of the biggest active investigations in the country.In the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, ransom notes were sent to media outlets demanding bitcoin. No proof of life. No follow-up. The sheriff denied forced entry and contradicted media sources. Investigators returned to the crime scene with canine units one day after it was released. The doorbell camera has no recoverable footage. Five days in — no suspects.In the D4VD case, the grand jury is escalating fast. Neo Langston was arrested and compelled to testify. Label head Robert Morgenroth was grilled for multiple days. Outside forensic experts were brought in. The Tesla at the center of the case was held by LAPD for only forty-eight hours. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains were found five months ago. No charges have been filed.Coffindaffer explains the pressure tactics, the silence, the contradictions — and what both investigations need to break next.#NancyGuthrie #D4VD #CelesteRivasHernandez #FBI #GrandJury #TrueCrimeToday #JenniferCoffindaffer #LAPD #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is Slack just a chat app, or is it becoming the command line for the agentic future? Andrew sits down with Kurtis Kemple, Senior Director of DevRel at Slack, to discuss the platform's evolution into an "agentic work operating system" where humans and bots collaborate in real-time. They explore the concept of "leaky prompts," how to harness unstructured chat data to drive automation, and share practical advice on how engineering leaders can start deploying their own custom agents to reclaim their time.Watch the Vibe Coding Session: If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe to the Dev Interrupted YouTube Channel to watch Andrew and Kurtis vibe code together!LinearBUnify your Copilot and Cursor impact metricsFollow the show:Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelLeave us a ReviewFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's guest:Slack for Developers: api.slack.comSalesforce Agentforce: Learn more about AgentforceBolt for JavaScript: Slack's FrameworkConnect with Kurtis on LinkedIn OFFERS Start Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.

In this week's episode, Rob and Justin dig into the weird paralysis happening at enterprise scale. Fortune 500 companies are spending six months in high-level negotiations to build AI workflows that could be done in a week. IT departments, trained for decades to fear custom code, are watching their companies get lapped by competitors who just decided to turn the thing on. Everyone's releasing agent frameworks, every AI company's got one, some have more than one, and instead of clarifying things, it's freezing people up.. There's a massive gap between what AI can do right now and what most organizations are getting out of it. Justin calls it the capability overhang, and it's growing. Not because the technology isn't ready, but because of how businesses are approaching it. Rob's got stories from the field that'll make you feel like the guy in the manhole from Die Hard, waving his hands: "I can just do it right here. No really. Right here." You'll learn what it really means to unlock AI (spoiler: it's not about waiting for the tech to get better), why hoping for built-in solutions is a fantasy, and why Claude is now updating its own instructions when it screws up. If you've been wondering whether you're behind on AI or just appropriately skeptical of the hype, this one's for you.

OpenAI's twin initiatives to monetize ChatGPT's free tier through ads and launch the Frontier enterprise agent platform represent a shift in the AI provider's business model, with substantial implications for compliance and operational governance. Free and low-cost ChatGPT users will now see sponsored links unless they opt to reduce daily usage; only customers paying $20 or more per month retain an ad-free experience. OpenAI is concurrently marketing Frontier to enterprise clients such as HP, Intuit, and Uber, offering AI agent orchestration and deploying a team of consultants to support custom AI applications. The company projects enterprise revenue will constitute 50% of its income by year-end, up from 40% the prior month.Operating in both the consumer funnel and the enterprise layer, OpenAI combines top-of-funnel data monetization with vertical integration of services. The ad-supported free tier raises compliance concerns, as user interactions become subject to additional data collection and monetization. For organizations, this means enforcement decisions around whether and how employees may use free AI tools in regulated or sensitive environments. The more consequential development, however, is the introduction of enterprise agent orchestration through Frontier, where questions persist regarding liability, governance, production stability, and how organizations are protected from errors committed by autonomous agents.Related market movements include Anthropic's release of Claude Opus 4.6—which enables multi-agent collaboration with context windows up to 1 million tokens—and Microsoft's planned shift for Windows to a signed-by-default trust model. Anthropic's enhancements to agent functionality remain constrained by key gaps, such as conflict arbitration mechanisms, rollback procedures, and documented cost models, and the expanded context remains limited to beta testers. Microsoft's strategy to enforce signed apps by default mirrors iOS's approach to application trust, but its operational viability depends on how override mechanisms are managed by both users and IT administrators. Additional developments in backup, asset management, and AI governance (as seen with NinjaOne, JumpCloud, and Zoom) reflect a general trend towards increased integration and platform consolidation, though with ongoing gaps in security and compliance as AI adoption accelerates.The practical takeaway for MSPs and IT service leaders is the need to re-evaluate policies around free AI tool usage, invest in governance and auditability for enterprise AI, and prepare operational systems for stricter software trust and exception management requirements. Structural changes in software security and AI orchestration are transferring costs and risks from incident response to ongoing policy enforcement and exception handling. Those offering AI services should prioritize model-agnostic governance and avoid reliance on a single vendor's automation layer, as vertical integration by platform providers is reducing the defensibility of narrow service offerings.Four things to know today:00:00 OpenAI Adds Ads to Free ChatGPT; Launches Frontier Platform for Enterprise Agents04:07 Anthropic Ships Opus 4.6 Agent Teams; Model Found 500 Zero-Days in Testing06:43 Microsoft Announces Signed-App-Only Mode for Windows 11; Phased Rollout Planned10:19 NinjaOne Adds Asset Management; Zoom Launches AI Workspace Tool; JumpCloud Opens VC ArmThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:  CometBackup IT Service Provider University

Text threads made AI feel personal, then agents made it productive, and suddenly “success” turns into chaos you can't even track. In this episode, Ron sits down with Pedram Amini, creator of Maestro, to show what agent work looks like when you stop babysitting and start orchestrating. Pedram lays out why context windows are the limiter, why harnessing beats model-chasing right now, and how Auto Run executes task-docs with fresh context every iteration so agents can run for hours (or days) without melting down.

This week on DanceSpeak, I sit down with Brian 'Footwork' Green, a master teacher and influential figure in street and club dance culture whose impact spans generations. Recorded live in August 2025, this episode captures Brian's unfiltered thoughts on musicality, lineage, and what often gets misunderstood about street dance. We explore competition versus convention culture, the realities of the dance economy, and the difference between who you are and the artistic name you move under. Brian speaks honestly about off-beat dancing, “auto-tuned” movement, teaching, trends, and what gets lost when dance drifts away from the heart. The conversation also touches on race, representation, and identity in dance spaces—layered, nuanced, and rooted in lived experience rather than soundbites. Insightful, funny, challenging, and deeply grounded in culture, this episode is for dancers who love dance enough to think about it, question it, and keep it alive.
