Send us a textThe Customer Success Playbook podcast wraps up its enlightening three-part series with Kristen Nolan of Interview Valet by exploring the delicate balance between technology and human connection. In this forward-thinking discussion, Kristen reveals how she leverages AI as a strategic tool while maintaining authentic relationships. From using AI to identify unique client differentiators to employing dictation for efficiency, this episode offers practical ways to harness technology without sacrificing the personal touch. Hosts Roman Trebon and Kevin Metzger guide a conversation that demonstrates how AI can enhance rather than replace meaningful connections in customer success.Detailed AnalysisAs AI continues to transform business operations, customer success professionals face a critical question: Can technology actually strengthen human relationships rather than diminish them? This episode provides a refreshingly balanced perspective that avoids both technological evangelism and fearful resistance.Kristen Nolan's approach to integrating AI into client relationships stands out for its pragmatism and strategic focus. Working at Interview Valet, where "relationships are the ultimate currency" serves as a core value, Kristen has developed a methodology that leverages AI as a starting point rather than an end solution. Her process of using tools like ChatGPT to identify a client's unique differentiators demonstrates how AI can enhance relationship-building by providing deeper insights that might otherwise remain undiscovered.What makes this discussion particularly valuable for the customer success playbook is the emphasis on maintaining authenticity while embracing technological efficiency. Kristen's guidance on viewing AI outputs as "a baseline" that requires human refinement offers a practical middle path for CS professionals concerned about sounding robotic or inauthentic in client communications. As she notes, "AI can't make up personal stories for you," highlighting the irreplaceable value of human experience in building genuine connections.The hosts share equally practical applications, with Roman revealing how he uses AI to improve the tone and client-centricity of his communications—not by blindly copying AI outputs, but by using them as a mirror to recognize when his natural communication style might come across as too abrupt. This application addresses one of the most common challenges in customer success: ensuring that necessary direct communications don't damage valuable relationships.For customer success teams looking to scale their operations without sacrificing quality, this episode provides a framework for thoughtful AI integration. The discussion moves beyond theoretical benefits to share tangible techniques like using ChatGPT projects to maintain context, leveraging dictation for efficiency, and using AI to help craft more concise communications. These practical tips demonstrate how technology can free up time for meaningful relationship-building rather than replacing it.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CuPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

Learn how to leverage advanced AI strategies that most business owners miss The untapped potential of artificial intelligence for business growth. The conversation explores how most people are barely scratching the surface of AI's capabilities, sharing practical examples of how AI can research prospects, create marketing campaigns, build prototypes, and even write books in a fraction of the time traditional methods require. Mike Koenigs is the author of "The AI Accelerator" and founder of the Superpower Accelerator. As one of Charles' early mentors, Mike has consistently stayed ahead of marketing trends and now helps business owners harness AI to expand their capabilities, create one-person marketing teams, elevate their authority, and scale without adding headcount. His innovative "thousand dollars cup of coffee" campaign demonstrates how AI-powered research can transform client consultations and dramatically increase revenue. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Most businesses only scratch the surface of AI potential, using basic ChatGPT instead of the full AI ecosystem. Quality AI output directly reflects quality input—effective prompt crafting is essential. Successful AI adoption requires understanding possibilities, selecting right tools, and focusing on four key functions. Being "tool agnostic" is crucial—multiple AI models provide better insights than any single tool. AI's greatest advantage comes from unleashing imagination and asking better questions. Create AI style guides to capture brand voice and apply consistently across all content. The "one-person marketing department" is now possible through comprehensive AI tools. Mike's "thousand dollars cup of coffee" model demonstrates how AI research transforms high-ticket sales.

How do boundary zones fuel innovation breakthroughs in complex organizations?Join host Marco Annunziata as he welcomes Jaspar Roos, a member of the European Commission's OISP innovation group and founding partner of the Human and Tech Institute. With MIT credentials in AI Strategy and implementation experience with ISO56001 innovation frameworks, Jaspar examines how ecosystemic models are reshaping societal governance and network orchestration systems.This conversation explores how 80% of employees, typically outside headquarters, remain disconnected from innovation initiatives, despite organizations investing heavily in AI and digital transformation. Jaspar presents neuroscientific evidence on how the "water cooler effect" creates cognitive transformation: when employees step away from structured work environments, dopamine release facilitates relaxation, leading to the serendipitous interactions that drive breakthrough thinking.Innovation Paradox: 95% of non-tech companies investing in AI will generate no meaningful ROI despite significant expenditure Neuroscience Insight: Water cooler interactions trigger dopamine releases that neurologically prime employees for breakthrough thinking Organizational Blindspot: Top-down innovation efforts fail because 80% of frontline employees lack access to digital transformation tools Edge Systems Theory: Most disruptive innovations emerge at ecosystem boundaries where traditional operating norms converge Metrics Gap: Traditional innovation KPIs measure activity rather than impact, creating "innovation theater" without economic transformationAnalyzing case studies from his portfolio of digital innovation projects, Jaspar reveals the dialectical tension between conformity and transformation. He examines how successful organizations like Amazon implement synchronous communication protocols to overcome innovation paradoxes, while drawing parallels to the Swift financial network's transformation. This episode offers a systems-thinking approach to understanding how innovation emerges at ecosystem boundaries where traditional operating norms are being replaced with new economic engines for the digital era.Guest: Jaspar Roos, Founder and CEO of Limpid & CoHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-Founder, Annunziata Desai PartnersSeries Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.#EcosystemicFutures #SystemsThinking #InnovationScience #Futures #NeuroscienceOfCreativity

John Munsell, CEO of Bizzuka, joins Discover Lafayette to discuss his newly released book, Ingrain AI: Strategy Through Execution, which offers a practical guide for businesses looking to embed AI into their core operations and culture. John Munsell is a true pioneer in the world of AI, having spent over 10,000 hours mastering how businesses can use AI to achieve extraordinary results. His newly released book, Ingrain AI: Strategy Through Execution, offers a practical guide for organizations looking to embed AI into their core operations and culture, presenting actionable frameworks to facilitate effective AI adoption across all levels of a company. John shared the journey of Bizzuka's evolution from a web development firm into a digital marketing agency and, ultimately, an AI strategy powerhouse. A pivotal conversation with colleague Jared Allardyce prompted him to sell off his prior business holdings and focus exclusively on the emerging opportunities in AI. Recognizing the profound shift on the horizon, John committed himself to studying how AI could genuinely solve market problems. Through weekly CXO AI Roundtables, he taught executives how to analyze AI tools, leading to Bizzuka's full transformation into an AI training, coaching, and consulting enterprise. "We had been using AI and I was thought this was going to be the next frontier. At Bizzuka, we shifted to try to figure out what problem the market wanted solved with AI. So I spent a year studying that and had this thing called the CXO AI roundtable, where every Friday I would teach various C levels what I was doing in certain aspects of AI  I would analyze AI note takers or I would analyze different AI tools, graphic design, copywriting, whatever it would be. And eventually I figured out what the problem was that the market wanted solved." John explains that today's businesses are mostly riding AI “tricycles”—using tools at a surface level—without realizing the enormous potential awaiting them when they advance to higher levels of AI proficiency. To help bridge this gap, John developed the AI Strategy Canvas and a unique system called Scalable Prompt Engineering, enabling businesses to build scalable, repeatable AI frameworks that improve efficiency across departments like sales, marketing, HR, operations, and legal. John's passion for training the Louisiana workforce led to a key partnership with LSU after meeting with Roy Haggerty, Executive Vice President and Provost of LSU. He now serves as an adjunct AI instructor at LSU, teaching businesses how to develop and execute AI strategy an utilize the AI Strategy Canvas® to help their teams master Scalable Prompt Engineering® to get the best results out of AI with maximum efficiency. The frameworks John developed are now required training for all undergraduates pursuing an AI designation.  John emphasizes that while universities often focus on teaching how to build large language models (LLMs), the greater workforce need is learning how to use these models effectively. John Munsell teaches companies to prioritize AI safety, security, and ethics. He cautions against uploading sensitive information into free versions of AI tools without understanding the risk of that data becoming part of public training models. Teaching companies how to safeguard proprietary information is a foundational part of Bizzuka's AI Skills Builder training, which also ensures employees across various departments learn AI skills customized to their job functions. In our conversation, John detailed how businesses can use different AI models—like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity—for specialized tasks such as deep research, proposal writing, and sales prospecting. He described how he uses AI note-takers like Fathom to generate highly personalized client proposals, saving significant time while ensuring each proposal reflects the company's brand voice and the client's specific needs.

In this episode of Tech News Weekly, Mikah Sargent and Abrar Al-Heeti explore the growing role of AI in consumer tech, the latest legal setback for Apple's App Store policies, and two in-depth interviews: Bloomberg's Leah Nylen breaks down the DOJ's proposed remedies in the antitrust case against Google, and Wikimedia's Leila Zia shares the foundation's new AI strategy that centers humans—not machines. ChatGPT Adds Shopping Tools: Abrar Al-Heeti highlights OpenAI's new AI-powered shopping experience in ChatGPT, which personalizes product recommendations and integrates purchase links—all without leaving the chat window. She and Mikah explore the implications for consumer trust, affiliate marketing, and the future of Amazon and Google as default shopping destinations. Apple vs. Epic: Court Strikes Back: Mikah breaks down a dramatic new ruling against Apple, in which a judge found the company in violation of a 2021 injunction and imposed strict limits on how it can control third-party payments. Mikah and Abrar discuss how this could reshape the App Store's fee model and what it means for developers and users alike. Google's Antitrust Remedy Phase: Bloomberg antitrust reporter Leah Nylen returns to unpack the latest in the DOJ's case against Google. She explains the three proposed remedies—including a possible Chrome browser divestiture—and what testimony from tech competitors like DuckDuckGo, Perplexity, and OpenAI revealed about Google's dominance in search and AI. Wikipedia's Human-Centered AI Strategy: Leila Zia, Head of Research at the Wikimedia Foundation, outlines their new AI roadmap, which focuses on supporting Wikipedia's volunteer editors rather than replacing them. She details how AI will assist with moderation, multilingual knowledge expansion, and mentorship—all while upholding values of transparency and human agency.
