Lisa Cole, a four-time Chief Marketing Officer and current CMO at 2X, discusses the challenges marketers face in doing more with fewer resources and the misconceptions around AI in marketing. She explains that while AI can automate tactical tasks, human judgment remains essential for creating unique, high-quality content that differentiates companies from competitors. Lisa emphasizes that marketers should be intentional about what tasks to keep in-house, outsource, or automate, rather than relying solely on AI to handle all marketing functions. Lisa and John discuss the challenges marketers face due to AI, including the pressure to create content that is both understandable to humans and AI models across multiple channels. Lisa explains that marketers now ns to consider both human and AI audiences, leading to increased workload and expectations. She notes this situation is creating tension in organizations of all sizes, with some facing pressure to reduce headcount while others are expected to do more with less. Lisa advises companies to focus on understanding and mapping their current marketing workflows before implementing AI, rather than immediately acquiring more AI licenses. She recommends conducting a "hackathon" to reimagine and optimize existing processes, aiming to reduce time from idea to execution and eliminate manual review cycles. For John's small business helping people buy and sell businesses, Lisa suggests asking their preferred AI model for specific advice on how to apply AI to grow their LinkedIn following and engage with executives.You can reach Lisa at www.2X.marketing or Lisa.cole@2X.marketing.John MartinkaJessica MartinkaContact us via either website or give us a call and be sure to check out our blog pages with new posts weekly.https://nokomisadvisory.com/https://www.martinkaconsulting.com/https://www.gddpodcast.buzzsprout.comhttps://www.youtube.com/c/JohnAMartinka/videos 425-515-4903
Do you have what it takes to thrive in the era of AI? Watch the video of this episode on YouTube Playlist We talk a lot about AI on this show. And at a time when everyone is questioning the ethics of it all, David Brooks is more interested in what kind of people we should be no matter what happens with AI. His latest for The Atlantic, “The People Who Will Thrive in the AI Age” starts with a comforting bit of research: AI is not necessarily taking our jobs or lessening our workloads. Instead, it's changing the way we relate to our work. And, the way we respond to this change will have more to do with our success in an AI era than anything else. Brooks says that the future doesn't belong to those who optimize every task, but to those who continue pursuing the uniquely human work of enthusiasm and volition. If you've been wondering what kind of person will succeed in the onslaught of AI technology, how to be the kind of person that weathers the perceived storm, or what the development of AI means for the modern Christian: this conversation is for you.

Artificial intelligence can accelerate output, but sustainable performance depends on whether human and organizational capability can keep pace.In this milestone episode of The Good Leadership Podcast, Charles Good speaks with renowned leadership and HR thinker Dr. Dave Ulrich about turning individual talent into organizational capability that creates value for customers, investors, employees, and communities.Dr. Ulrich explains the difference between competence—what an individual knows, does, and embodies—and capability—what an organization consistently does well. He explores how leaders can combine AI with the distinctly human strengths of vision, innovation, emotion, and wisdom while protecting judgment, honest feedback, human connection, and the future leadership pipeline.The conversation also examines the danger of mistaking increased activity for stronger capability, why leaders must become better observers of themselves and others, and how careers and leadership brands must evolve in an AI-driven world.This episode is part of our milestone series, What It Takes to Keep Rising in an AI Era.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Milestone Series Announcement01:23 Dr. Ulrich's Perspective on Turning Talent Into Value02:09 The Difference Between Competence and Capability03:21 Leadership Challenges in a Volatile World04:16 The Multiplier Effect of Human Ingenuity and AI05:40 Four Pillars of Human Ingenuity: Vision, Innovation, Emotion, and Wisdom07:41 The Risks of Output Racing Ahead of Capability08:37 Creating Value for Stakeholders10:21 Signals of Building Activity Versus Capability12:56 The Power of Honest Feedback in Leadership14:20 Leadership in the AI Age: Human Connection and Feedback16:17 The Risks of Automation and the Future Leadership Pipeline19:05 Redefining Careers and Developing Future Leaders22:28 Self-Interrogation and an Evolving Leadership Mindset27:10 A Critical Leadership Skill: Observation and Reflection32:59 Building a Leadership Brand in the AI Era34:36 Final Reflections and Connecting With Dr. UlrichSubscribe to The Good Leadership Podcast: [Apple Podcasts] | [Spotify] | [YouTube]LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/charlesagoodSubstack Channel (Outlearn to Outperform): charlesgood.substack.comLinkedIn Newsletter (The Outlearn Advantage): [Subscribe]The Institute for Management Studies
ASML makes what many consider to be the most complex machines in the world. They print the vanishingly small patterns that make leading-edge computer chips possible. NVIDIA, Amazon and Anthropic all rely on it to create their products and services. “Without EUV [extreme ultraviolet light technology]… you don't have AI”, the firm's chief executive, Christophe Fouquet, tells Scottish Mortgage manager Lawrence Burns in this podcast.Background: When Scottish Mortgage invested in ASML, it couldn't be certain that its efforts to harness EUV light would succeed. The holding was effectively an informed bet that the Dutch company could pull off one of the “greatest technical endeavours” of the time, as Burns puts it.To achieve this, the firm had to solve engineering challenges, such as generating plasma many times hotter than the sun's surface tens of thousands of times a second to create the special light. Then, it had to work out how to capture and control it with specialised multilayer mirrors. All this was done to print billions of transistors in spaces often as small as a fingernail.ASML's achievements have pushed computing to new limits, not least enabling the training of artificial intelligence models, including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral and MiniMax. As Fouquet discusses in the podcast, the company has recently launched a next-generation version of its EUV system to underpin further AI advances and other capabilities for years to come. “Whatever happens… ASML wins,” says Burns. “It's an agnostic royalty on AI demand, and more broadly, compute demand.”Timecodes: 00:03 Coming up…01:08 Introduction02:53 Christophe Fouquet interview begins03:21 Printing transistors05:11 ASML's origins05:57 From a shack to EUV08:46 Long-term relationships11:37 Moore's Law “on steroids”15:08 A cyclical industry18:43 DUV v EUV21:03 Spending on R&D to stay ahead22:23 Why bet on EUV?25:27 High NA EUV27:39 An engineering mindset31:15 China sales restrictions36:01 ASML's changing culture38:29 An unknowable future40:39 Lawrence Burns on the investment case50:26 Podcast lookaheadRead the glossary.Check the podcast description to ensure this content is suitable for you.

We keep being told that artificial intelligence is going to help us do just about everything. Make us healthy. Personally tutor each student. Run our businesses efficiently. Make our decisions. Even fold our laundry. As a result, we would have hours of additional free time, and our AI machines would make discoveries previously unimaginable for humankind. What does that really mean? Will AI really make things better? To find out, award-winning journalist Joanna Stern let AI run her life for one year. The results were both funny and unsettling, and she reported what happened in her new book I Am Not a Robot. Stern used AI tools and robots to do her household chores, manage her health, and transport her family on its vacation. If she needed a decision made or a task done, she let AI take the lead. The results were not what you'd expect, and Stern has produced an AI guide for ordinary people and gets around the hype and jargon that clutters our AI discussions. Humankind is only a few years into the AI Age, but you can join us in-person—or virtually, like an AI agent—to get Joanna Stern's lessons on what to expect and what it means for you.

Mark Sutor, president of Access Group This episode of In The Channel is sponsored by Ingram Micro Canada. Mark Sutor, president of Access Group and Canadian co-president on the Trust X Alliance Global Advisory Board, joins the show to discuss the community’s recent Global Leadership Summit and what it means for Canadian solution providers. Sutor says the summit’s real differentiator is its focus: “This is not a summit about IT. It’s a summit about leadership.” He reflects on sessions with Constellation Research founder R “Ray” Wang, who warned that AI is commoditizing expertise and that real differentiation lies in experience and market understanding. Ingram Micro executive Sanjib Sahoo also featured heavily, pressing attendees to ask for “insights, not updates.” Sutor breaks down the TXA AI agent coming to the TXA Expand platform, which he says will make the global community feel smaller by surfacing partner skills and capabilities through natural language queries – including publicly available data from websites and LinkedIn. He also addresses the community’s aggressive expansion: new markets including India, the TXA Access program for countries without a formal footprint, and a target of 1,000 member companies by 2027. On the idea that communities like Trust X were an early form of “distributor as platform,” Sutor draws a direct line between the insights he gains at live Trust X events and the AI-surfaced insights he now receives logging into Ingram Micro Xvantage. He says the platform has freed up Ingram’s reps to have proactive business-building conversations rather than transactional ones. Finally, Sutor assesses where the Canadian channel sits on Ingram’s “crawl, walk, run” AI maturity curve. His verdict: the channel has moved past curiosity toward expectation, but execution remains uneven. For partners not yet in Trust X, he argues the community’s core value is collective growth: members share best practices, AI strategies, and vendor program leverage to outpace the broader market. Read Full Transcript Robert Dutt: Hello and welcome to In the Channel from ChannelBuzz.ca, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel community for the last sixteen years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca, and your host for the show. Today, a conversation about the evolution of partner communities in the AI age, and a look at how peer networks that predate the current platform buzzword may have been the original take on the “distributor as platform” idea. Mark Sutor is president of Access Group, a longtime solution provider in the Canadian channel, and he serves as Canadian co-president on the Trust X Alliance Global Advisory Board. He recently came back from the Trust X Alliance Global Leadership Summit in Texas and joined me to talk about what landed, where the community is headed, and how the Canadian channel fits into a rapidly expanding global peer network. Let’s get right into it, my chat with Mark Sutor. Robert Dutt: Mark, thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it. Mark Sutor: Glad to be here. The summit was a unique experience — unlike anything I’ve seen in the IT channel before. I’m taking back several action items for Access Group and the Canadian community. Robert Dutt: You mentioned a session with Level Up that stood out. Can you elaborate? Mark Sutor: The Level Up presenter, Patrick, laid out a clear structure for leadership skills. It resonated with what we already do, but gave us a concrete, actionable framework. Robert Dutt: What makes this summit different from other channel events? Mark Sutor: It isn’t an IT-focused summit; it’s a leadership summit for partners, vendors, and Ingram Micro staff. The content is dedicated to personal and professional development, not sales or product demos. Although the material has an IT flavor, the lessons are applicable across industries. Robert Dutt: At the summit, legendary analyst Ray Wang talked about expertise being commoditized by AI. How does that translate for a Canadian partner? Mark Sutor: Ray’s insight reinforced that experience, market understanding, and geography are the real differentiators. Those elements set us apart from purely AI-driven solutions. Robert Dutt: What were the big takeaways for you from the conference at large? Mark Sutor: Several points stood out. First, industry direction: we need to think long-term about AI’s impact on service delivery and customer interaction. Second, AI evolution: AI will move from substituting tasks to fundamentally reshaping processes — much like Uber redefined transportation. And third, leadership discipline: AI is becoming a strategic discipline, not just a technology trend. Robert Dutt: How is applied AI being positioned within the Trust X Alliance community? Mark Sutor: As a member of the Global Advisory Council, I saw that partners are at varied stages — some delivering AI solutions, others exploring internal use cases. We developed a playbook to help members integrate AI internally first, then translate those use cases into client solutions. Robert Dutt: Can you give me the nickel tour on the new TXA AI Agent coming to the Expand platform? Mark Sutor: The AI Agent streamlines partner discovery. Instead of manually searching for a partner with specific skills — for example, installing a Cisco router in Saskatchewan — you can ask the agent in natural language and receive accurate results instantly. It also surfaces vendor solutions across the ecosystem. The tool pulls data from public sources like websites and LinkedIn, as well as internal information, making the community more searchable and collaborative. Robert Dutt: It sounds like the difference between a classic keyword search and a modern, conversational search experience that can even surface new ideas. Mark Sutor: That is absolutely correct. Of course, the challenge is that we all need to make sure we provide the information it needs, but the AI tool is also very good at consuming publicly available information from our websites and LinkedIn. It’s not just looking inwardly. It’s super cool. You use it and you say, “Wow, this is really neat.” You can see where it potentially goes in terms of hooks into the other things that Ingram Micro is doing with AI and agentic tech as that rolls out. Robert Dutt: Trust X Alliance is expanding aggressively — new markets including India, the TXA Access program, and a target of 1,000 member companies by 2027. For the Canadian community, does global scale add value? Mark Sutor: It does impact us, for sure. It’s one of the things I enjoy most about the global events — the camaraderie with other markets. On the environmental stewardship front, for instance, the folks in the UK have been doing amazing things for a few years, and Canada has grown close and participated in some of those ventures. It’s a great way to get a leg up on things happening in other parts of the world. Historically, people liked to go to the U.S. events for a preview of what’s to come, and that is still valid. But I’ve learned many things from the DACH region, the UK, and the Netherlands. I can’t wait to see what comes out of these new markets. Robert Dutt: How do you feel about Canada’s role, given we’ve been there since before the Trust X name existed, dating back to VTN? We’ve always had a reputation for punching above our weight. Mark Sutor: That has definitely continued. Canada has always had a voice a little bit louder than our size. Per capita, we have a very strong membership in Canada — we’re sitting just shy of 100 members now, which by population is much larger than a lot of other geographies. We’re going to continue to have a loud voice because of the dedication of the Canadian members. We always say, “You get out what you put in,” and the Canadian members put in their hearts and souls. Robert Dutt: One of the things I’ve been thinking about, especially as distribution has increasingly redefined itself as a platform, is that in many ways the communities were the first take of “distributor as platform” — not a transactional entity, but a network to create business value, connections, shared intelligence, and leverage. Now we’ve got the technology side with Xvantage. So you’ve got the human community and the digital platform. How does one reinforce the other? Mark Sutor: It’s a great question, and I’m not sure that anybody really knows one hundred percent. Obviously, Sanjib Sahoo spends all of his waking hours thinking about this aspect of distribution. I can tell you that the Xvantage journey has really been quite helpful. Canada is a little bit farther along in that journey than some other geographies. Every day when I log into Xvantage, there are some things there called insights. I learn things for free about my business and about my customers just by logging in. AI has surfaced various insights about things happening in my own company that perhaps I wouldn’t have even known. It’s remarkable that today, in certain areas, the point of trust for me is actually the data coming out of Xvantage and not necessarily my own system. Because Ingram Micro has done such a good job of collecting appropriate data that really can give those insights. I think you’re right — there’s a lot of parallels. When I show up to a Trust X event, I gain insights from other members, from vendors, from Ingram Micro itself. The platform is really helping extend that. Not only does it help extend that through insights, but it’s really enabling the employees at Ingram Micro to take a much more proactive approach to understanding our business. I’m having those conversations more and more often where we’re no longer talking about what’s the price and where is it, and much more about how do we build business, how do we grow, how can we market together, how can we go together into various accounts and be stronger together. These are the conversations we’re having. On the back end, it’s Xvantage that has enabled those cycles to be freed up and for Ingram’s people to show up in a different way. I can tell you that in Canada, they do show up differently today than in the past. Robert Dutt: How so? Mark Sutor: I was preparing for a discussion with Ingram not that long ago, and this was front of mind — how Ingram had showed up differently. While I was preparing, I got a phone call from one of the reps at Ingram saying, “Hey, I just wanted to see if we could get something in the calendar to talk about how we can grow your Azure business together.” I thought, “Well, there you go. That’s exactly it playing out in real time.” These things didn’t necessarily used to happen with the intensity or the frequency in the past. Now these cycles have been freed up, where Xvantage is taking care of a lot of the mundane day-to-day stuff in the back end, and now we can have real conversations about building value for our customers. Robert Dutt: As you talk to your peers, both within Trust X and outside of it across the Canadian channel, do you feel that this idea of the new role of distribution is widely understood, widely taken advantage of, widely optimized? Or is it still a competitive differentiator for those who went in early? Mark Sutor: This is the problem we struggle with. Is it known? Yes. Is it well known? I would say not as well as it should be. I know a lot of members don’t take advantage of the various insights and things that I had mentioned earlier. Getting that word out is one of the objectives of the Trust X Alliance moving forward, both inside the community as well as to the broader Ingram family. Ingram is showing up differently, but I don’t think that the progress they have made is that well known. There’s still a little bit of thought that, well, they have a great website, which is true, but it’s way more than that today. It’s a platform that can do many, many things for your business. It’s extraordinary what Ingram has done in the past couple of years. There are new features being added to the Xvantage platform weekly, biweekly at this point, and it’s a fast-moving process. Part of the challenge, whenever you’re improving a platform so quickly, is to make sure that people stay current with those changes. It’s a huge advantage. It’s a great thing because it’s moving at the speed of the industry, but at the same time, it’s hard for everyone to keep up to date with those various changes. And just to be clear, they do a fantastic job of revealing those new features. They pop up on your dashboard as they’re being revealed. There are various trainings and other things that go on, but life is busy, right? So it’s hard to keep that front and center, but this is a very good problem to have. In the Trust X Alliance, we’re happy to support those efforts and to make sure that the word gets out in an appropriate way. Part of that is to do things like we’re doing today, to make sure that we continue to talk about the successes that we’re having as members and make sure that the community at large, as well as the Ingram family at large, sees those wins. Robert Dutt: Ingram’s overall AI strategy cadence has been the crawl, walk, run idea. Do you see the channel as an aggregate still in crawl, or are we moving towards walk? Mark Sutor: Everyone is still at a very different place in their journey. But I think what’s shifted — I heard someone use this term in one of our affinity meetings the other day — is that things have moved towards expectation. We’re now expecting that AI is going to be doing great things for us. It’s no longer a curiosity, necessarily. And that’s really the shift that I see happening today. But it doesn’t change the fact that everyone’s at a very different position. And in some cases, rightly so. By various industry segment, I think by the nature of those segments, it makes sense to be either ahead or even behind the curve sometimes. But as a community, we’re very focused on elevating everyone’s experience to the point that makes sense for their business, and focusing on that internal use case for AI has been what makes a lot of sense for members. Robert Dutt: If a Canadian MSP or solution provider isn’t in Trust X Alliance today, what are they actually missing that they can’t get from a vendor program or a buying group? Mark Sutor: Well, we’re growing. I think that’s one of the biggest ones. Part of our approach to the marketplace is to grow faster together. And by sharing best practices, by working on things like our AI strategy, by leveraging vendor programs, and so on, we’ve been able to grow faster than the marketplace. And that’s, I think, the continued expectation of the organization is to continue to grow. Robert Dutt: Last one for me. What’s the one thing you’d want Canadian partners to know about where Trust X Alliance is headed over the next twelve months? Mark Sutor: Definitely watch us. I think that we’re doing a lot of really good things in the industry. The Trust X Alliance is really being positioned as the place to go for expertise, the place to go for knowledge, the place to go if you want a good job done as an end client. So the brand is really being built out in a lot of very interesting ways. It’s no longer necessarily just a brand in the IT community, but it’s gaining a lot of traction out there as the brand for IT. So we do extraordinary work together as a community, and I think we’re going to continue to do that. And yeah, I can’t wait to see where we go. Robert Dutt: Thanks for the conversation, Mark. Mark Sutor: Thank you, Robert. It’s been a pleasure. Robert Dutt: There you have it, Mark Sutor from Access Group. I’d like to thank Mark for his time and for sharing his perspective on the Trust X Alliance community and the Canadian channel’s place in it. A few takeaways from me on this one: the idea that peer communities like Trust X were arguably the first iteration of “distributor as platform” — not transactional, but network-driven — and that Ingram Micro’s Xvantage platform is now extending that same logic into digital insights. Mark’s observation that AI has shifted from curiosity to expectation in the channel is worth sitting with. And the note that Canadian partners, in his view, still underutilize what these platforms and communities can actually deliver.

Long before smartphones, social media, or ChatGPT, researchers at MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) helped lay the groundwork for the modern internet. In this episode of Building 32, MIT CSAIL senior research scientist, internet pioneer and former Chief Protocol Architect David Clark reflects on those early days and explains how a network designed to connect computers became a force that reshaped society. More than fifty years later, Clark is applying those same instincts to Artificial Intelligence. He argues that the biggest challenges aren't about algorithms—they're about power, incentives, and human behavior.

A respected voice on technology shows how seemingly simple ads help dismantle democracy and public discourse. Whether you're intentionally shopping or casually browsing social media, something is following you: ads. Their creators seem to know your income bracket, politics, age, location, medical conditions, and tastes in clothing, food, and romantic partners. As advertising firms use predictive AI to discover your hot buttons and generative AI to push them, your online world becomes an increasingly bespoke—and isolated—place. The fervid competition around personalization in digital marketing has given rise to an ecosystem of advertisers, media outlets, tech companies, and retailers who monetize your data while threatening the health of our media, discourse, and sense of community.

A respected voice on technology shows how seemingly simple ads help dismantle democracy and public discourse. Whether you're intentionally shopping or casually browsing social media, something is following you: ads. Their creators seem to know your income bracket, politics, age, location, medical conditions, and tastes in clothing, food, and romantic partners. As advertising firms use predictive AI to discover your hot buttons and generative AI to push them, your online world becomes an increasingly bespoke—and isolated—place. The fervid competition around personalization in digital marketing has given rise to an ecosystem of advertisers, media outlets, tech companies, and retailers who monetize your data while threatening the health of our media, discourse, and sense of community.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the trading world at extraordinary speed - but what does that actually mean for everyday retail traders?In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford sits down with trading coach Brian McAboy to explore one of the most important questions facing modern traders: Will AI make you a better trader… or leave you behind?AI is already changing how traders analyse markets, process information, generate ideas, and make decisions. But while artificial intelligence can scan data in seconds, it still can't fully replace the human qualities that often determine trading success: judgement, discipline, adaptability, emotional control, and decision-making under uncertainty.So where does that leave human traders?Should retail traders embrace AI as a powerful trading tool? Or is over-reliance on technology creating a dangerous new trap?Brian brings a unique perspective to this conversation. With a background in mechanical engineering, quality systems, and trading psychology, he understands the importance of consistency, process, and avoiding costly mistakes - all critical skills in today's rapidly evolving trading environment.In this episode:How AI is changing trading and investing right nowWhether retail traders should fear artificial intelligenceWhere AI can genuinely improve your trading decisionsThe areas where human judgement still outperforms machinesHow traders can use AI without becoming dangerously dependent on itWhether AI reduces emotional trading mistakes - or creates new onesWhy discipline and process matter even more in an AI-driven marketThe skills traders need to stay relevant in the years aheadWhat will separate successful traders from those who quietly disappearIf you're interested in ASX trading, trading psychology, Australian sharemarket investing, artificial intelligence, trading systems, or the future of trading in Australia, this conversation is essential listening.Because while AI may change the tools…Your mindset may still be your greatest edge.--------------------------------------Be the spark If you know someone who's struggling in the markets, don't keep Talking Trading to yourself.

Is performance marketing enough to grow a business in the AI age? Or does long-term success require a stronger branding strategy built on trust, differentiation, and customer experience? In this episode, Joanne Z. Tan explores why branding strategy and performance marketing are not competing approaches—they are complementary forces. While performance marketing has traditionally measured ROI through clicks, likes, and conversions, these metrics become increasingly inadequate as Agentic AI transforms the customer buying journey. Sustainable business growth depends on brand building, brand positioning, brand trust, and brand equity that influence customer decisions both immediately and over the long term in an AI-driven marketplace. - Read the full article - Watch this as a 12-min video - Subscribe to our free Newsletter As AI increasingly shapes search, discovery, and purchase decisions, organizations must rethink their digital marketing strategy. Winning brands invest not only in measurable performance but also in authentic storytelling, memorable customer experiences, and meaningful differentiation that both AI systems and human customers recognize and trust. In this episode, you'll learn: What is performance marketing, and where it fits into modern business growth Why branding strategy is essential for long-term competitive advantage How brand building strengthens customer loyalty beyond paid advertising The relationship between brand equity, customer experience, and business value Why brand trust is becoming one of the most valuable assets in the AI era How effective brand positioning helps your business stand out in crowded markets How to integrate performance marketing and brand-building KPIs into a comprehensive digital marketing strategy Why brands that balance short-term performance with long-term branding outperform those focused only on immediate ROI Today's AI-powered marketplace rewards organizations that create lasting trust—more than clicks and likes. The companies that thrive will combine data-driven marketing with authentic human connection, building brands that customers remember, recommend, and return to. - Read the full article: https://10plusbrand.com/2026/06/28/performance-marketing-and-brand-building-in-ai-age-joanne-z-tan/ - Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter for more insights on AI, branding, executive influence, and thought leadership. - Visit: 10PlusBrand.com AIXD.world 10PlusProfile.com About the Author Joanne Z.

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human. This week we learn from the feminist philosopher Donna Haraway about thinking beyond binaries, cultivating community and taking risks. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.” “An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna Haraway Guests: Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Kingdom Activation of Remnant Ministry – Foundational Issues Part 1 | KIB 535 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Are you ready for what God is about to release in the earth? In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore the spiritual preparation necessary for the activation of remnant ministry in the last days. As darkness increases and many believers struggle with discouragement and hopelessness, God is calling His people to deeper faith, greater endurance, and unwavering covenant fidelity. Mary Lou begins by addressing the enemy's strategy to attack God's calling on your life from the very beginning. She shares biblical encouragement for overcoming hopelessness and maintaining confidence in God's promises even during seasons of tribulation. Dr. Lake then dives deep into the biblical meaning of belief, revealing that true faith is far more than a one-time decision. Through an examination of John 3:16, Abraham's journey of faith, and the teachings of the New Testament, he demonstrates that genuine belief produces transformation, endurance, obedience, and spiritual maturity. This episode also examines: The difference between easy-believism and biblical faith Why God is preparing remnant believers for Kingdom assignments The necessity of covenant faithfulness in the last days How Babylonian systems have distorted ministry models The importance of returning to the biblical patterns found in the Book of Acts Why believers must develop spiritual discernment in an age of deception and AI-driven confusion The transition from being servants of God to becoming His trusted friends As God begins activating His remnant, it is crucial that believers build their lives upon biblical foundations rather than worldly systems. This message will challenge, encourage, and equip you for the days ahead.

Two of G.K. Chesterton's most unexpectedly prophetic essays take center stage in this issue of Gilbert Magazine: "An Architect's Nightmare," a 1928 piece that anticipates nearly everything being said today about AI, passive technology, and false progress, and "Freud on Slips of the Pen," a recently unearthed 1921 Daily Express article in which Chesterton dismantles psychoanalysis with surgical wit. Joe Grabowski and Grettelyn Darkey walk through the current issue of Gilbert—the official publication of the Society of G.K. Chesterton —drawing out what Chesterton saw about passive entertainment, the cyclical delusions of optimists and pessimists, and why art remains the irreducible signature of man. In This Episode: What G.K. Chesterton's 1928 essay "An Architect's Nightmare" reveals about spaces built for man vs. spaces man is expected to serve—and why his critique of industrial-age optimism and pessimism maps almost perfectly onto today's conversations about AI The pattern Chesterton exposed over a century ago: enthusiastic builders of terrible things who become pessimists insisting nothing can be done—and why Chesterton holds that human will, not historical inevitability, is what truly separates man from the octopus "Freud on Slips of the Pen": a newly unearthed 1921 essay in which G.K. Chesterton takes apart the Freudian slip using Hamlet, Punch and Judy, and the plain observation that a man who writes something down and doesn't cross it out intended to write it Chesterton on the standardizing effects of the cinema—how the same concerns raised about silent films in the 1920s echo in every conversation about video games, social media, and passive screen entertainment today A tour of the current Gilbert: the Chesterton Schools Network's capstone Rome pilgrimage, an 11th-grader's essay on Dante, a takedown of Paul Ehrlich's famously wrong prophecies, and G.K.

“I don't look to companies to be moral guides. I want them to be good companies. When you invest in the stock market, you want them to be growing fast and making profit. That's it. There's nothing more to it.” — Keith Teare If it's Saturday, it must be our weekly tech show. Before we went live, That Was the Week publisher Keith Teare told me it wasn't a big news week. He was wrong, of course (as he often is). The really BIG news this week, which Keith conveniently missed, is that Anthropic overtook OpenAI as the world's most valuable AI startup. Dario Amodei's AI startup raised $65 billion this week, putting its valuation at $900 billion, way ahead of OpenAI's last round at $730 billion. Keith says, without any proof, that they've cooked their numbers. Which makes this week's news even tastier. The more interesting story, for Keith at least, is Sam Altman's latest pivot: that humans need stakes in the AI platforms whose wealth they help create. Rather than Patagonia-style moral corporations (which Keith says would make him “throw up”), it should be the responsibility of the state or government to make capitalism more moral. But even slippery Sam got outpivoted this week by Anthropic, who sent a co-founder to Rome to do a deal with the Pope. Leo XIV's new encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” is Anthropic's papal pivot. It's the smart model for value investing in the AI age. Five Takeaways • Anthropic Tops OpenAI — But the Numbers May Be Wrong: Anthropic raised $65 billion this week at a $900 billion valuation, overtaking OpenAI's last round at $730 billion. The VCs backing it — Green Oaks, Sequoia, Altimeter, Dragoneer — are credible. Andrew's argument: they've seen the books. Keith's counter: the VCs are playing a different game. They expect two to three times their money at IPO and they'll probably get it — not because the revenue numbers are solid, but because the only way is up right now. The real test: the S-1, which requires audited accounts. Keith's prediction: the revenue numbers will look different when the SEC sees them. • Dario's Credibility Problem — But Claude 4.8 Is Fantastic: Keith has consistently characterised Dario Amodei as “slightly juvenile” and has long been sceptical of Anthropic's public positioning. This week he cites Om Malik and the All In podcast in support of the revenue numbers critique. But he is careful to separate the man from the product: Claude 4.8, released two days ago, is “fantastic.” At SignalRank, Keith's firm, Claude rebuilt an entire agent valuation workflow in an hour that would have taken days manually. Andrew's observation: Andrew is now Anthropic's newest fan. He has replaced Spurs with Anthropic as his team. • Altman's Pivot: From UBI to Ownership: Sam Altman has shifted his public narrative on AI and labour. Previously: UBI — universal basic income — as the answer to mass unemployment. Now: ownership. Humans need to own stakes in the AI platforms whose wealth they help generate. Not welfare. Not redistribution. Ownership. Keith's verdict: it's an interesting and significant move. More interesting than Amodei's continued fearmongering about AI devastation. Andrew notes that Altman seems to have genuinely grown up in the last two months. His tone is markedly different. • Patagonia Capitalism Would Make Keith Throw Up: The week's interview of the week: Eric Ries on Incorruptible, arguing that great companies stay great by choosing a higher moral purpose — the Patagonia model. Keith's response: it would make him throw up. He doesn't want companies to be moral guides. He wants them to be profit machines. Moral guidance is the job of politics. And politics, he acknowledges, is massively disappointing. He does agree with Ries on one thing: Sundar Pichai, as an individual, should care about the future. But Google's job is to make money. That's it. • Where Does Moral Guidance Come From? The Populists: Andrew's closing question: if not corporations, not politicians, not the pope — where does moral guidance come from? Keith's reluctant answer: the populists. Because the people care. They care about the future. And in the absence of politicians they can trust, they go elsewhere. Keith sees this as inevitable rather than desirable. Populism is the unintended consequence of political failure. The people filling the gap that broken institutions left. It's not a solution. It's a symptom. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch and Andrew's regular TWTW co-host.

This week on the podcast, we welcome Heather Stefanski, Chief Learning and Development Officer at McKinsey & Company. We explore how organizations like McKinsey are reimagining employee development for the age of AI, shifting learning into the flow of work, focusing on systems and purposeful apprenticeships, and embedding L&D directly into workflow design. You'll also hear all about the evolving skill sets for L&D teams and the importance of updating how we measure development. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...00:00 Integrating development into AI assistants04:49 Heather's role at McKinsey08:32 Developing skills in the workplace16:08 Designing developmental workflows with AI24:56 Understanding skill proficiency levels26:25 Building agentic development solutions30:53 Assessing AI proficiency levels33:18 Future skills focus at McKinsey42:55 AI in performance evaluations53:13 Using AI for feedback and reviewRethinking Language: Why Development Surpasses TrainingOne of the first shifts Heather Stefanski identifies is a deliberate move away from talking about “training” or even just “learning.” Instead, McKinsey centers its L&D strategy on development, a more holistic approach that encompasses formal programs, feedback mechanisms, leadership modeling, and real-time experiences in the flow of work.For McKinsey, development is inseparable from business outcomes, and employee development is critical to the firm's value proposition. This means McKinsey designs work intentionally to be developmental, combining upskilling, leadership building, and project experiences into a seamless ecosystem.Purposeful ApprenticeshipHeather discusses embedding rituals, such as performance check-ins and feedback sessions, directly into core workflows to build a system grounded in purposeful practices. By standardizing these rituals, McKinsey can even quantify the impact of great teachers on advancement, and L&D becomes part of organizational culture rather than a siloed function.The New Learning Tech StackOne of the most exciting transformations is McKinsey's ongoing work to blend learning seamlessly into technology-enabled workflows. Rather than relying solely on traditional LMS platforms, McKinsey is embedding learning designers into business teams that are building agentic workflows—AI-powered systems that guide, prompt, and provide real-time feedback as employees work.AI agents are being designed to do more than just increase productivity. Heather emphasizes that agents should also foster professional development by challenging users, prompting reflective questions, and offering immediate coaching. This shift pushes L&D professionals to evolve their skills, requiring fluency not just in instructional design but in data analysis and collaborative workflow engineering.What Skills Do Employees Still Need?As AI tools automate routine tasks, think aligning PowerPoint columns or data cleanup, McKinsey is strategically deciding what to stop teaching, redirecting focus to what keeps the firm distinctive: problem solving, judgment, metacognition, systems thinking, and authentic leadership. Purposeful abandonment of now-obsolete skills is as vital as doubling down on those that matter, ensuring development keeps pace with the shifting demands of knowledge work.

Most people spend their entire lives trying to fix, change, and improve themselves into something better. Derek Rydall nearly died before he discovered the flaw in that approach. Everything you are looking for is already inside you. The only question is whether you are willing to let it emerge.In this first of two conversations, Dwight Heck and bestselling author Derek Rydall explore the Law of Emergence, the principle behind Derek's work and his case for why the Law of Attraction, as most people practice it is built on the wrong foundation entirely. Derek survived a near-death experience in a coral reef off Jamaica, lost his son, had his fortune stolen, and came through all of it more alive than before.Part 2 is coming soon and goes deep into Derek's new book A Whole New Human: 10 Ways We Must Evolve to Survive and Thrive in the AI Age, published February 2025.IN THIS EPISODE:✅ What the Law of Emergence is and how it differs from the Law of Attraction✅ Why trying to fix and improve yourself may be keeping you stuck✅ How a near-death experience became the turning point of Derek's life✅ What the acorn teaches us about human potential and purpose✅ Why painful conditions may be activating what was always inside you✅ How losing his son put a fire in Derek that changed everything he teaches✅ A preview of A Whole New Human and the identity crisis of the AI ageWATCH ON YOUTUBE:YOUTUBE WATCHCONNECT WITH DEREK RYDALL:Website: https://derekrydall.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DerekRydall-YourLegendaryLifeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derekrydallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DerekRydall/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drydall/Twitter / X: https://x.com/derekrydallCONNECT WITH DWIGHT HECK:Website: https://www.giveaheck.comPodcast: https://www.giveaheck.com/podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@giveaheckFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dwight.heckInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/give.a.heckLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dwight-heck-65a90150/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@giveaheckTwitter / X: https://twitter.com/give_a_heckBe a Guest: https://www.giveaheck.com/work-with-meRATE THE SHOW:https://ratethispodcast.com/giveaheckGive A Heck | Helping People Live Life on Purpose and Not by Accident
Send us Fan MailAI can generate a pitch, summarise a report, and crank out a week of content in minutes. The hard part is what comes next: trust. Episode 300 is recorded in Lisbon at the BluePanda offices, and we use this milestone to ask a practical question for anyone building a career, a company, or a community: what still works when “real” is harder to prove?We're joined by Jo, president of CCLBL (the Chamber of Commerce for Portugal, Luxembourg and Belgium), to unpack why the organisation invests in internships and young talent. We talk about reverse mentoring, how AI is changing workplace expectations, and why the next generation can be “senior” in the future even if they're early in their careers. We also dig into what worries us: the gap between AI-driven creativity and the kind of structural thinking that traditional education used to force you to practise.Then two interns, Emma and Jenne, take the mic with the honest perspective leaders need to hear. They share what it's like stepping into an international business network, why entrepreneurs are often more open than you'd expect, and what young professionals really want at work: flexibility, a sense of belonging, meaningful projects, and autonomy instead of constant control. We get specific about AI tools too, including Google NotebookLM for research and sourcing, plus the reminder to verify sources and consider environmental impact.If you care about networking, internships abroad, AI in education, future skills, and human-first leadership, you'll leave with ideas you can use this week.

Justin Blackman is the Founder of Brand Voice Academy, which helps businesses define, document, and apply a distinct brand voice across their messaging. He is a messaging strategist who helps brands move beyond generic, forgettable copy and create bold, personality-driven communication that resonates with their audience. Drawing from his experience with brands such as Red Bull, 5-hour ENERGY, and IHG Hotels & Resorts, Justin developed a process for analyzing vocabulary, tone, cadence, and writing patterns to make brand voice more consistent and scalable across writers and AI tools. In this episode… In a world where AI can generate polished copy in seconds, sounding "good" is no longer enough. The harder question is how do you make your brand sound unmistakably like you? According to Justin Blackman, a messaging strategist known for helping brands sharpen their voice, the answer starts with documenting the patterns that make your communication distinct. He explains that voice is not just intuition; it can be broken down through vocabulary, tone, cadence, and even mathematical patterns, a process he calls "brand ventriloquism." When brands understand those patterns, they can create messaging that feels consistent, human, and harder to copy in an AI-saturated world. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Justin Blackman, Founder of Brand Voice Academy, to discuss building a bold brand voice in the AI age. They explore why generic copy blends in, explain how to measure and mirror brand voice, and illustrate how AI can become a stronger writing partner. Justin also shares advice on finding the edge that makes your work different on purpose.
