This week, the boys sling hot takes like baristas slinging lattes, diving into HR tech, AI, and corporate shenanigans with their signature wit. Kicking things off, they set the stage with a vibe check, chuckling over the wild ride of recruitment tech while side-eyeing the economic chaos of startups chasing venture capital like kids chasing ice cream trucks. No military leadership talk here, but they roast corporate missteps with the gusto of drill sergeants. The spotlight lands on JuiceBox, an AI-powered recruiting tool that snagged $36 million, including a $30 million Sequoia-led Series A. Chad's jazzed, calling it the “Capri Sun of HR tech” for its catchy name and $10 million revenue rocket. He wonders if they'll build a platform or get gobbled up in an acquisition faster than you can say “merger margarita.” Joel, the grumpy cat of the duo, sniffs history repeating, comparing JuiceBox to 2010s sourcing flops like Entelo. “Build fast, sell faster, or get squashed by LinkedIn,” he grumbles, predicting a big-tech beatdown. Next, they geek out over AI agents revolutionizing recruitment. Chad raves about Hackajob's agents that dig through applicant databases like treasure hunters, saving cash and recruiter sanity. Joel dreams of Chrome's new free Gemini AI turning browsers into job-search genies, scaring HR tech vendors like a horror flick. Chad warns, “Free? You're the product, kids!” as they lament job scams and hope AI security saves the day. LinkedIn's new Learning Career Hub gets a roasting—Chad calls it a “half-baked LinkedIn loaf” compared to slick competitors like Degreed. Joel likens it to Apple's VR headset: a panicked hedge against being left behind. They also torch Reid Hoffman's claim that work-life balance is a “red flag,” with Chad snapping, “Want me to work like a CEO? Pay me like one!” Joel laughs it off as Silicon Valley hot air, like a CEO dropping truth bombs after one too many kombuchas. Ford's CEO Jim Farley's $5 million pledge to train 15,000 workers by 2026 gets a collective eye-roll. Chad calls it “couch cushion change,” comparing it to Apple and Tesla's billion-dollar China training sprees. “Farley's begging for government handouts like a kid at a candy store,” he scoffs. Joel agrees, noting it's chump change next to a Super Bowl ad, and both warn U.S. companies are losing the EV race to China's manufacturing muscle. Finally, a Waymo self-driving car's illegal U-turn leaves cops stumped—no driver, no ticket! Chad, fresh off a Spanish speeding ticket by camera, wonders why the U.S. can't keep up with “Star Trek-level” tech. Joel predicts local governments will milk Google for fines to fund football fields. With automation on the rise, they're all in—just don't expect Robocop to sort it out anytime soon.

On September 30th., International Podcast Day, the Podcast Super Friends, welcomed Kendall Breitman, Community Lead at Riverside, with big news on a major product rollout: Riverside's launch of its new chat-based editing tool — the "AI Co-Creator," affectionately nicknamed “Coco” by the internal team. Co-Creator introduces a major shift in how podcasters can handle post-production. Instead of manually editing timelines or transcripts, users can simply type what they want — like “make this episode more engaging” or “cut the part about watermelons” — and Riverside's AI will handle the edits. The tool supports everything from layout changes, B-roll additions, branding overlays, to audio cleanup like EQ adjustments and filler word removal, all with user-guided flexibility. Kendall walks us through the evolution of the tool — how it started as a way to generate show notes and blog posts directly from transcripts, and now powers full post-production editing, video layout automation, and audio enhancements like Magic Audio and Smart Mute. Co-Creator's AI capabilities also include adding royalty-free music, removing background noise, and even dynamically changing video composition based on prompts. While you still have full control to fine-tune manually, the tool helps users speed up their editing dramatically. We also discuss the importance of community feedback. Kendall emphasizes Riverside's commitment to implementing user suggestions quickly, with the Facebook group "Conversation Creators by Riverside" acting as a hub for ideas and feedback. In fact, several features — including the Editor Add-On that lets producers access client accounts — were born directly from community input. The conversation touches on pricing barriers for small-scale producers, the benefits of using iPhones as high-quality second cameras, and the addition of Safari support — making the platform even more accessible. We also explore Riverside's live streaming capabilities, which let creators stream to multiple platforms including YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and custom RTMP destinations — with multi-channel live chat support. Kendall suggests this is a great next step for creators looking to deepen audience engagement, especially as platforms reward live content in their algorithms. Wrapping up, Kendall highlights Riverside's free resources, like the Community Hub (riverside.com/community) and their live workshop series, which showcase workflows from everyday creators. She also teases future updates and encourages everyone to keep checking back — because the features keep rolling out fast. More: https://riverside.com/community Riverside Users Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/264571558188791 Superfriends' websites: Johnny Peterson - ⁠⁠⁠⁠Johnny Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.johnnypodcasts.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Catherine O'Brien -⁠⁠⁠⁠ Branch Out Programs ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.branchoutprograms.com⁠⁠⁠ Jon Gay: Jag Podcast Productions ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.jagpodcastproductions.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ David Yas: Pod 617 -⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Boston Podcast Network⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.pod617.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Matt Cundill - ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Sound Off Media Company⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundoff.network⁠⁠⁠⁠ 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guests 01:02 Big Announcement: Chat-Based Editing 03:27 Evolution of Riverside's Editing Tools 04:45 Community Feedback and Feature Development 07:51 Introducing the AI Co-Creator: Coco 09:33 CoCreator's Journey and Marketing Assets 10:52 Editing with Coco: Enhancements and Control 12:00 Advanced Editing Features and AI Capabilities 14:03 Audio Enhancements and Magic Audio Features 16:42 Filler Word Removal and Audio Quality 18:54 Maintaining Creative Control with AI Tools 22:32 Exploring Media Board Functionality 23:44 Video Editing Techniques and AI Integration 25:02 Enhancing Video Quality with Creative Edits 26:57 Browser Compatibility and User Experience 27:12 Safari and Cross-Browser Functionality 29:01 Using Mobile Devices for Recording 30:10 Community Engagement and Feature Awareness 31:22 Community Resources and User Feedback 34:05 Understanding Podcaster Needs and Trends 36:42 Challenges in Podcast Promotion and Repurposing 39:10 The Importance of YouTube for Discoverability 42:56 Producer Tools and User Feedback 44:58 Navigating Technical Challenges in Podcasting 47:40 Enhancing Collaboration with Riverside's New Features 49:37 The Rise of Live Streaming in Podcasting 56:59 Riverside's Comprehensive Podcasting Solutions 58:19 Community Engagement and Resources for Podcasters Find jag on social media @JAGPodcastProductions or online at JAGPodcastProductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

AI integrations fail when they replace human connection entirely. Stephen Roach, VP of Ecosystems and AI at Qualified Digital, explains why customers immediately reject automated experiences that lack human touchpoints. He outlines designing better handoff triggers between AI and human agents, implementing contextual personalization that adapts to individual customer needs, and creating hybrid experiences that enhance rather than replace human interaction.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"85% of AI use cases are being evaluated by the engineer who built it saying, 'yep, seemed to work pretty well.' If you're gonna build a system that's going to be critical to the business, that's going to be important that it gets it right, then you can't do that without evaluations." - Craig Wiley Fresh out of the studio, Craig Wiley, Senior Director of Product Management at Databricks who leads Mosaic AI, joins us to discuss the forefront of enterprise AI from model development to deployment at scale. Beginning with his career journey in ML operations, Craig explained how he recognized the critical connection between data and AI layers that could deliver order-of-magnitude acceleration in development cycles. Emphasizing the transition from classical ML operations to LLM operations, he showcased how Databricks' unified platform eliminates training-serving skew through data lineage capabilities and supports both fine-tuning and RAG approaches depending on industrial use case requirements. Highlighting compelling customer success stories including Suncorp's employee productivity platform and AstraZeneca's transformation of 400,000 clinical trial documents into queryable insights, Craig revealed a striking reality about enterprise AI evaluation - that 85% of AI use cases are being evaluated only by the engineers who built them, reinforcing that proper evaluation frameworks remain foundational for trustworthy AI implementation. He concluded by introducing Agent Bricks as Databricks' evaluation-centric approach to building production agents, emphasizing that model flexibility and rigorous testing are essential for enterprises moving from experimentation to production, while sharing his vision that the industry must evolve from the "year of agents" to the "year of evaluation and quality."

An exploration of one of marketing AI's hottest trends with Katherin Watier Ong In this episode of No Brainer, Geoff and Greg dive deep into the evolving landscape of search engine optimization with Katherine Watier Ong, founder of WO Strategies. Katherine brings her 10+ years of experience helping science-based organizations navigate the complexities of modern search—from traditional SEO to the emerging world of AI-powered answers. The conversation explores the hype surrounding Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), with Katherine providing a refreshingly grounded perspective that it's still fundamentally SEO at its core. She shares practical insights on how to optimize for Google's AI Overviews and discusses why the fundamentals haven't changed as much as the industry buzz might suggest. Katherine reveals compelling data showing that while AI-powered search features are getting attention, they currently represent only about 1-3% of actual traffic for most organizations. She emphasizes that brands should focus on solid SEO foundations before chasing the latest AI optimization trends. The discussion also covers the broader challenges facing marketers today, including the rise of zero-click searches, degraded marketing data from GA4, and the increasing difficulty of measurement in a privacy-first world.

It's not. Life is too short to make it all about our job.” “You're gonna have to do things that sometimes don't feel good to get what you really want.” "The idea is that it's not about trying to “fix it.” It's about how do I get beyond it? How do I make sure that it doesn't stop me in living the life that I wanna live?" "The more you don't want this thing to show up, it will show up. And the more you try to push it down, the stronger it pushes back." "If you focus on your purpose, the thing that you're hoping won't happen, will happen less - than if you get really hyperfocused on stopping thing." "People are craving the return to authenticity. The simplicity, the self, the inner... as technology continues to grow, the need for people to reconnect with their inner true self is gonna continue to grow." "We are social creatures. People act as mirrors... you wanna be around people that give you a certain type of wisdom, perspective, experience."   ABOUT THE HOST Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator and host of Transcending Stuttering; and former faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.   SEE ALL SHOW NOTES http://www.transcendingx.com/podcast LEARN MORE at http://www.transcendingx.com and http://www.schneiderspeech.com

Discover how to unlock AI's power to scale your business with innovative tools and strategies!

We explore the philosophy behind building personal websites and using intentionally limited computing as creative practice. The conversation examines why modern computers feel "too dangerous"—offering infinite possibilities that paradoxically constrain focus—and how deliberately choosing simpler tools can restore agency over our attention and creative output.Through discussions of building throwback websites, setting up old computers as single-purpose machines, and integrating AI through terminal interfaces, we unpack the psychological difference between technology that serves us versus technology that exploits our behavioral patterns. The episode ultimately centers on a deeper question: how do we design our relationship with technology to support sustained attention, genuine connection, and meaningful creative work? We consider whether the future might look more like the 1960s than the 2010s—not through regression, but through conscious iteration that prioritizes human flourishing over engagement metrics. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

In this thought-provoking episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey dive into the complexities of artificial intelligence and its impact on human relationships, work, and spirituality. They continue their discussion from the previous week, sharpening their focus on the socio-economic reasons behind AI's rapid growth and its ethical implications.Joe opens the conversation by exploring how AI is often implemented to replace high turnover roles rather than enhance employee productivity or improve workplace conditions. He raises concerns about using AI as a substitute for ethical treatment of employees, emphasizing that enhancing productivity should not come at the cost of human relationships and well-being. Automation, while beneficial for producing goods, should not be a means to avoid accountability for treating employees with dignity and respect.Father Boniface offers a spiritual perspective, reminding listeners that work's intrinsic value lies not in the outward results but in its ability to form character and virtue in individuals. He emphasizes the eternal significance of personal growth over material production, advocating for an economy that centers around people rather than profits.The episode explores the ancient wisdom that human dignity and relationships must remain paramount. With anecdotes from sales and real-world applications of AI, Joe and Father Boniface discuss how an ethical application of these technologies can serve humanity. They caution against reducing people to mere production agents, a theme resonant with historical reflections from Pope Leo XIII and Pope John Paul II, urging listeners to consider how automation should be integrated thoughtfully into both personal and professional spheres.In a world where AI can deliver B+ answers, they argue, the objective shouldn't be to automate love and human interaction. Instead, they propose fostering environments where development is experiences-based, incorporating AI as a tool rather than a replacement for personal engagement. Father Boniface shares his unique experiences of leveraging AI for personal intellectual growth while maintaining the primacy of human relationships and critical thinking.As the episode concludes, Father Boniface and Joe reinforce the notion that the economy should pivot around human growth and ethical practices—not monitory gain. Encouraging listeners to engage in thoughtful dialogue and explore AI's potential responsibly, they hope to inspire a culture that truly values love and human interaction above technological efficiency.Tags:AI Discussion, Automation, Human Relationships, Spiritual Growth, Ethical AI, Artificial Intelligence, Economic Impact, Work Ethics, Podcast Discussion, Father and Joe, Technology and Humanity, Moral Philosophy, AI Ethics, Labor and AI, Workplace Well-being, Team Dynamics, Human Dignity, Pope Francis, Pope John Paul II, Sales Ethics, Personal Growth, Spiritual Reflection, Podcast Episode, Father Boniface, Joe Rockey, Love and Production, Human-Centered Economy, Virtue Development, Intellectual Growth, AI Mistakes, Public Discourse, AI Advisory, Tech in Society, Socio-economic Debate, Moral Implications, AI Integration, Ethical Conversations, Understanding AI, Relationship Building, Modern Challenges, Hashtags:#ArtificialIntelligence #AIandEthics #HumanRelationships #AutomationImpact #SpiritualGrowth #WorkplaceEthics #PodcastDiscussion #FatherAndJoe #TechAndHumanity #MoralPhilosophy #AI #EconomicImpact #LaborAndAI #Teamwork #HumanDignity #PopeFrancis #PopeJohnPaulII #SalesEthics #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualReflection #PodcastEpisode #LoveAndProduction #HumanCentered #Economy #VirtueDevelopment #IntellectualGrowth #PublicDiscourse #AIAdvisory #TechSociety #SocioEconomicDebate #MoralImplications #AIIntegration #Conversations #UnderstandingAI #ModernChallenges #CommunityGrowth #EthicalAI

Ephraim Ebstein, founder and CEO of FIT Solutions, has successfully built two national IT companies and is now focused on transforming technology into a growth engine for businesses. His organization specializes in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into various sectors, particularly in the realm of customer service and operational efficiency. With a revenue of $30 million last year and projections of $38 million this year, FIT Solutions has established itself as a leader in the IT services industry, emphasizing organic growth without external funding.Ebstein discusses the increasing demand for AI integration among business owners, who are eager to reduce labor costs and enhance revenue. He notes that while many companies are exploring AI, there is often confusion about its practical applications. FIT Solutions has carved out a niche in AI integration, focusing on creating AI employees that can handle tasks traditionally performed by humans, such as customer service and sales. This approach has proven to be more straightforward and effective than selling traditional IT services, as businesses are keen to adopt AI solutions that can streamline operations.One of the standout implementations discussed is the AI concierge service for boutique hotels. This service allows guests to interact with a virtual concierge via text, providing personalized assistance and recommendations without the need for extensive human staff. The AI employee, named Brooklyn, engages with guests, answers questions, and even coordinates tasks like housekeeping requests. This innovative solution not only enhances the guest experience but also significantly reduces labor costs for hotel operators.Ebstein emphasizes the importance of preparing businesses for AI integration, which involves understanding their unique needs and ensuring that the necessary data is accessible. He highlights the complexity of creating effective AI solutions, which often require multiple integrations and extensive training. As businesses increasingly recognize the potential of AI to replace or augment staff, Epstein's insights provide valuable guidance on navigating this evolving landscape and maximizing the return on investment in AI technologies.

Welcome to another episode of Talk Commerce, where host Brent Peterson sits down with industry leaders to explore the evolution of digital commerce. In this conversation, we meet Jacqueline Basulto, founder and CEO of SeedX, a growth marketing company that's been making waves since 2016. Now leading a team of 65 professionals, Jacqueline shares her journey from a young freelancer working with yoga teachers to building a comprehensive growth marketing powerhouse that helps companies scale their systems through end-to-end digital solutions.Key TakeawaysHolistic marketing beats vertical specialization - Companies need integrated growth systems rather than isolated channel-specific strategiesFinancial alignment drives success - Understanding how marketing activities tie back to company financials and profitability metrics is crucialThe three-pillar foundation - Successful e-commerce marketing starts with website optimization, paid advertising, and email marketingAI enhances rather than replaces humans - Technology should eliminate mundane tasks while preserving human strategic thinking and creativityEuropean markets show different tech adoption patterns - Cultural differences impact how businesses integrate technology and customer expectationsDefining success requires team alignment - Marketing directors and CEOs must agree on success metrics before launching campaignsOrganic social media presents diminishing returns - Paid channels offer more reliable and formulaic growth opportunities for new businessesAbout Jacqueline BasultoJacqueline Basulto founded SeedX at just 22 years old, starting her entrepreneurial journey during an internship at Google where she worked with small businesses on marketing strategy. Frustrated by the verticalized approach of traditional agencies, she launched what began as "Jacqueline's Web Studio" in New York City, bootstrapping her way from working with local yoga teachers to serving larger enterprises. Her passion extends beyond business - she's a singer who loves animals, owns three dogs, and dreams of having a farm someday. As a mother of a three-year-old, she balances entrepreneurship with family life while maintaining an active lifestyle. Her approach to business reflects her belief that entrepreneurship found her rather than the other way around, leading to a company philosophy centered on comprehensive, human-centered growth strategies.SummaryThe conversation begins with Jacqueline explaining how SeedX got its name - "seed" representing the beginning of growth, like a plant, and "X" standing for technology. She emphasizes that while the company has evolved significantly since its inception, the core philosophy remains unchanged: providing holistic marketing solutions rather than siloed services."I was frustrated really by the way that other agencies and that Google was helping them because it was very verticalized," Jacqueline explains. This frustration led to her decision to start her own company, though she admits she didn't initially understand what entrepreneurship meant or that she was bootstrapping her business.Brent probes into the biggest mistakes medium-sized companies make with their marketing efforts. Jacqueline's response reveals a critical gap in most businesses: the lack of clarity around how marketing activities connect to financial outcomes. She notes that many companies look at results across different platforms without understanding how these costs relate to revenue, cost of goods, and overall profitability.The discussion shifts to e-commerce specifically, where Jacqueline outlines her three-pillar approach for new companies. First, the website must serve as both storefront and salesperson, educating customers about products. She uses the example of a Manuka honey company, explaining how their initial website failed to communicate the product's unique benefits, pricing rationale, and usage applications."Your website is your storefront and it's your salesperson," she states. "What you want is to make sure that people are educated about the great products that you have."The second pillar involves paid advertising for quick conversions and message testing, while the third focuses on email marketing to capture and nurture the 90% of visitors who don't purchase immediately. Jacqueline warns against over-investing in organic social media, noting the platform's increasing difficulty for growth.The conversation takes an interesting turn when discussing AI's role in marketing. Rather than viewing AI as a threat to human employment, Jacqueline positions it as a powerful support tool that eliminates mundane tasks while preserving human creativity and strategic thinking.When Brent asks about cultural differences between European and American business practices, Jacqueline provides insight into varying technology adoption rates and customer expectations across regions. She observes that European markets tend to prioritize human-centric approaches over technology-first solutions, leading to different expectations around brand interactions and digital touchpoints.The episode concludes with Jacqueline introducing SeedX's upcoming product - a centralized platform that helps marketers automate task flows by connecting email, calendar, CRM, and analytics systems through a single AI agent.Memorable Quotes"I always joke that entrepreneurship kind of found me. I didn't know that I wanted to be an entrepreneur." This quote encapsulates Jacqueline's organic entry into the business world, highlighting how sometimes the best ventures emerge from solving immediate problems rather than following predetermined plans."The human input of the overall strategy and how all of the pieces go together is more important than ever than the very specific kind of tweaking of an ad." This statement addresses the evolving role of marketing professionals in an AI-driven world, emphasizing strategic thinking over tactical execution."We want AI to take away all of those mundane tasks that we don't want to spend all of our time doing or that suck the creativity out of us." Jacqueline's perspective on AI integration reflects a balanced approach that leverages technology while preserving human value.Final ThoughtsJacqueline Basulto's journey from frustrated Google intern to successful agency founder demonstrates how identifying market gaps can lead to sustainable business solutions. Her emphasis on holistic marketing strategies, financial alignment, and human-centered AI integration provides valuable guidance for businesses navigating today's complex digital landscape. The conversation reveals that while technology continues advancing, the need for strategic thinking and comprehensive approaches becomes more critical than ever. Perhaps the most important lesson from this episode is understanding that successful growth marketing isn't about choosing between human expertise and technological efficiency - it's about

Microsoft has launched Project IR, an advanced AI capable of reverse-engineering malware with a remarkable 90% accuracy rate. This autonomous agent utilizes a combination of large language models and specialized cybersecurity tools to identify threats effectively, achieving a low false positive rate of just 2%. Recent tests demonstrated its capability to analyze thousands of unclassified files and accurately flag a significant majority as malicious. However, as cybersecurity technology advances, so do the tactics of cybercriminals, with a notable increase in phishing attacks targeting managed service providers (MSPs), which now account for over half of all phishing incidents.The rise of AI-powered phishing and social engineering tactics has been highlighted in a recent Acronis report, revealing that 52% of phishing attacks are aimed at MSPs. Additionally, new research indicates that AI browsers may inadvertently assist scammers, as they can overlook red flags that human users would typically catch. A survey from One Password further emphasizes the challenges organizations face with the rapid adoption of AI tools, with many lacking visibility and control over these applications, leading to potential security vulnerabilities.Gartner has issued a warning to corporate leaders, stating that they have a limited timeframe to integrate AI agents into their operations or risk falling behind competitors. Despite the urgency, Gartner also acknowledges that a significant percentage of AI projects fail, raising concerns about the pressure vendors may place on businesses to adopt these technologies hastily. Meanwhile, XAI's claims regarding its Grok 2.5 model being open-sourced have been criticized as misleading, as the licensing terms impose restrictions that contradict open-source principles.In the realm of cybersecurity solutions, companies like SonicWall and VMware are introducing new tools and technologies to enhance security and operational efficiency. SonicWall has launched a new generation of firewalls with a unique cyber warranty, while VMware is focusing on ARM architecture to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient servers. However, the podcast emphasizes the importance of cutting through vendor noise and focusing on solutions that genuinely improve business operations, rather than getting caught up in marketing hype.Three things to know today 00:00 Microsoft's Project Ire Shows AI Can Catch Malware, But Attacks on MSPs Are Rising Faster06:36 AI Urgency, Open-Washing, and Federal Adoption: Sorting Hype From Reality10:09 From Billing Fixes to Firewalls and VMware's Arm Gamble: What Really Matters for MSPs   Supported by:  https://getnerdio.com/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
