As the 2026 FIFA World Cup brings together more nations, more matches and more excitement, a competition has intensified off the pitch among China's leading artificial intelligence models, which are being put to the test in predicting the results of one of the world's biggest sporting events.随着2026年FIFA世界杯汇聚更多国家、更多比赛和更多激情，场外一场竞赛也在中国领先的人工智能模型之间愈演愈烈——它们正接受着预测全球最大体育赛事结果的考验。The 23rd edition of the World Cup, featuring 48 teams, is being hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.第23届世界杯由美国、加拿大和墨西哥联合主办，共有48支球队参赛。It opened on Thursday and runs through July 19.赛事于6月11日开幕，将持续至7月19日。Several Chinese large language models, including Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi and MiniMax, have rolled out prediction features, turning the tournament into a new testing ground for AI-powered reasoning and data analysis.通义千问、DeepSeek、Kimi和MiniMax等多家中国大语言模型已推出预测功能，将本届赛事变成AI推理与数据分析的新试验场。"As one of the most-watched sporting events across the globe, the World Cup offers AI companies a rare opportunity to showcase the computing power and analytical skills of their LLMs to a wider audience," said Guo Tao, a member of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and a senior expert in AI.中国人工智能学会会员、资深AI专家郭涛表示：“作为全球关注度最高的体育赛事之一，世界杯为AI企业提供了一个难得的机会，向更广泛的受众展示其大语言模型的计算能力和分析技巧。”Several AI platforms have come up with interactive campaigns.多家AI平台推出了互动活动。For instance, Moonshot AI's Kimi has launched a 1 trillion-token reward pool, allowing users to share prizes by correctly predicting match winners and the final champion.例如，月之暗面的Kimi推出了1万亿token奖池，用户可通过正确预测比赛胜负和最终冠军来分享奖励。A token refers to the smallest unit of data processed by AI models.Token指的是AI模型处理的最小数据单元。Alibaba Group's Qwen has introduced a dedicated match prediction assistant, while also offering human-versus-AI prediction challenges.阿里巴巴集团的通义千问推出了专门的赛事预测助手，同时提供人机预测挑战。However, the World Cup has also exposed the limitations of current AI models when it comes to analyzing and predicting the results of sporting events.然而，世界杯也暴露了当前AI模型在分析和预测体育赛事结果方面的局限性。For example, before the Group C opener between Brazil and Morocco on Sunday, major LLMs made predictions in favor of Brazil based on both historical data and statistical indicators.例如，在6月14日巴西与摩洛哥的C组揭幕战前，各大模型根据历史数据和统计指标均预测巴西获胜。The match ended in a 1-1 draw.然而，比赛最终以1比1平局收场。Guo said that while AI can analyze historical data and statistical models, it still struggles to accurately predict real-world results, especially in sports.郭涛表示，虽然AI可以分析历史数据和统计模型，但在准确预测现实世界结果方面仍然力不从心，尤其是在体育领域。He pointed out that soccer matches are influenced by a wide range of factors in the physical world, and such variables are highly uncertain and difficult to quantify using fixed AI models, making precise predictions inherently challenging.他指出，足球比赛受现实世界中多种因素影响，这些变量高度不确定，难以用固定的AI模型量化，因此精确预测本身就极具挑战性。The limitations of current AI models were also highlighted by Wang Zhongyuan, president of the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, at this year's BAAI Conference held last week.北京智源人工智能研究院院长王仲远在上周举行的2026年智源大会上同样强调了当前AI模型的局限性。Wang said that while LLMs have become increasingly capable of solving problems in the digital world, many challenges in the physical world remain beyond their reach.王仲远表示，虽然大语言模型在解决数字世界的问题上能力日益增强，但物理世界中的许多挑战仍超出其能力范围。As a result, the next stage of AI development will gradually shift from "predicting the next token" to "predicting the next physical state", he added.因此，AI发展的下一阶段将逐渐从“预测下一个token”转向“预测下一个物理状态”，他补充道。Asked why tech companies are rolling out AI prediction features for sports when the accuracy rate is relatively low, Guo, the expert from the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence, said the trend partly reflects the growing pressure of competition across the industry.当被问及为何科技公司在准确率相对较低的情况下仍推出体育赛事AI预测功能时，中国人工智能学会专家郭涛表示，这一趋势在一定程度上反映了行业竞争压力日益增大。"As competition in the LLM market intensifies, technological differentiation is becoming increasingly difficult. Companies are eagerly seeking new channels to distinguish themselves from their rivals," he said.“随着大语言模型市场竞争加剧，技术差异化变得越来越困难。各家企业都在急切地寻找新的渠道来凸显自身与竞争对手的不同，”他说。As the AI technology matures, simply competing on the size parameter is not enough, Guo said.郭涛表示，随着AI技术日趋成熟，仅仅在参数规模上竞争已远远不够。"The market is paying less attention to how large a model is and more attention to whether it can deliver valuable services in real-world scenarios and solve practical problems for users," he added.“市场越来越不关注模型有多大，而是更关注它能否在现实场景中提供有价值的服务、解决用户的实际问题，”他补充道。Hu Yanping, a professor at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, said that LLMs and AI agents are already evolving from conversation-oriented systems into task-oriented systems, while moving beyond pretraining toward continuous learning and broader real-world perception.上海财经大学教授胡燕平表示，大语言模型和AI智能体已开始从对话式系统向任务式系统演进，同时正从预训练阶段向持续学习和更广泛的现实感知能力迈进。"Exploratory projects, such as World Cup match predictions, can help accelerate this evolution," Hu said.“世界杯赛事预测等探索性项目可以加速这一演进进程，”胡燕平说。"A capability framework built around perception, interaction, decision-making and collaboration is what future task-oriented AI agents need."“围绕感知、交互、决策和协作构建的能力框架，正是未来任务式AI智能体所需要的。”large language models (LLMs) /lɑːdʒ ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ ˈmɒdəlz/大语言模型rolled out /rəʊld aʊt/推出testing ground /ˈtestɪŋ ɡraʊnd/试验场token /ˈtəʊkən/词元（AI模型处理的最小数据单元）statistical indicators /stəˈtɪstɪkəl ˈɪndɪkeɪtəz/统计指标

Why have security awareness training programs failed? Maybe we need to understand human psychology. Humans don't like tricks, or to be shamed, or negative emotions.

Procurement talks about "the data" as if it's neutral. It rarely is. For years, we have talked about "the data" as if it were a single, uniform thing… a stack of invoices, a dashboard of KPIs, a quarterly business review deck handed over by a supplier. Here's the problem: invoices are curated. Reports are crafted. And, most of the time, suppliers decide what you see… unless you know what to ask for. In this episode of Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement, Brian Gamble, COO at FineTune and a 30-year veteran of indirect services, joins podcast co-hosts Philip Ideson and Rich Ham to unpack BuyLaw #6: "develop expense-specific systems." The directive is fairly simple on its surface, but it's also disruptive: no single data set or measurement system works across diverse categories. Uniforms are not utilities. Security is not pest control. Waste is not janitorial supplies. And trying to manage them all with the same playbook guarantees procurement will create blind spots. Brian has seen those blind spots from both sides up close, first as a regional VP for a national uniform provider, now as an advisor helping clients defend their P&L against quiet leakage. He doesn't mince words: if your definition of "the data" is whatever appears on an invoice PDF, you are operating inside a commercial narrative written by your supplier. The episode walks through examples that sound almost unbelievable until you realize how common they are. Security "dark hours" where posts go unfilled but still get billed. Pest control programs charging for weekly service where there's been no activity in months. Uniform inventory definitions that vary between suppliers, creating a scenario where 17 cents can be far more expensive than 21 cents, depending on what number you're multiplying. None of that shows up cleanly on a summary invoice. Which brings us to AI… As procurement leans more heavily on AI for benchmarking and research, the technology can generate polished, authoritative answers, even when the underlying data is thin or incomplete. But, the quality of the output rises or falls with the quality of the inputs. For example, Brian shares a live demonstration his team conducted internally: a generalist asking AI for "a good price" in a complex service category gets laughable, contradictory answers. Garbage in, garbage out, so to speak. A more informed user does slightly better. When a true category expert feeds AI high-quality, relevant, structured data does the output become meaningfully useful, and even then, it still requires human judgment to separate signal from noise.  This episode also challenges another sacred cow in procurement: not all dollars are created equal. A $100 million utilities category might require minimal management. A $1 million uniform program might require 50 times the oversight. Yet procurement teams are often sized and measured purely by spend under management, not complexity, risk, or management intensity. If procurement is going to be measured by what actually hits the P&L (as the earlier BuyLaws argue) then they must design contracts, data rights, and reporting structures that allow real validation.  The future of procurement won't be won by those who have the most data. It will be won by those who know which data matters and, perhaps most importantly, why. Links: Rich Ham on LinkedIn Learn more at FineTuneUs.com

Anthropic vs. OpenAI: The Hidden War for the Soul of AIAs the global race for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) intensifies, a silent giant has emerged to challenge the "move fast and break things" status quo. This video essay explores the origin of Anthropic, a company founded by ex-OpenAI researchers who feared that rapid AI development was outpacing safety. We deconstruct the critical concept of AI Alignment and the revolutionary Constitutional AI framework—a digital "Bill of Rights" that allows models like Claude to self-govern based on human values. From the internal split at OpenAI to the technical nuances of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and the "Lobotomy Theory," we examine whether it is possible to build a machine that is both super-intelligent and fundamentally "good."Can we teach a machine to have a conscience before it surpasses us? Watch to find out why the future of humanity depends on the values we code today.

When AI bots can generate endless facts and flawless narratives, what's left for human tour guides? This week Mitch Bach sits down with VoiceMap founder Iain Manley to explore the future of storytelling in travel, from his perspective as a journalist and developer of a self-guided audio tour app powered by human creators. We dive into the power of personal perspective and the new risks of playing it safe with stale, objective facts but no humanity. This episode challenges tour operators to rethink what makes an experience truly unforgettable in 2026—and why being more human, more vulnerable, and even more imperfect might be your competitive advantage.In this episode we cover:Why AI is forcing tour guides to rethink their roleThe difference between information and true storytellingHow “personal” stories can reshape how people see a placeWhy generic, fact-based tours are becoming obsoleteThe surprising way AI is already hurting mediocre toursHow to create experiences AI can't replicateThe power of subjectivity, emotion, and lived experienceWhy taking creative risks is now essential for tour businessesThe hidden danger of optimizing for 5-star reviewsWhat great storytelling looks like in the age of AIAs always, show notes and more resources on tourpreneur.com

Send a textIn this episode of Tuesday Tea, Dominica sits down for a thoughtful conversation with Shackleton group Founder, Ed Gillcrist, about leadership, governance, and what really happens inside organizations once strategy meets reality. Many organizations spend enormous energy building plans, structures, and org charts. But as companies grow and decisions become more complex, the way things actually operate often looks very different from what is written on paper.This conversation explores where leadership, governance, and execution intersect- and what leaders need to understand when decision-making becomes distributed across teams, systems, and increasingly, intelligent technologies.Together, they discuss:• Why organizational charts rarely reflect how decisions are truly made • The difference between leadership, management, and governance • How execution breaks down even in highly capable organizations • What leaders often miss when responsibility becomes unclear • Why thoughtful governance is becoming more important in the age of AIAs technology accelerates and organizations adopt more automated tools and data-driven systems, the question of who ultimately owns decisions becomes more important than ever.This episode is a conversation about responsibility, stewardship, and the evolving role of leadership in complex organizations.Connect with Ed: LinkedInShackleton group If you've been following Dominica's recent exploration into AI governance and leadership in the age of intelligent systems, this discussion offers valuable perspective.Continue the ConversationDominica is also writing about these topics in more depth on Substack.You can join the conversation at: The Governance Era Support the showConnect with Dominica: https://www.instagram.com/dominicalumazar/Interested in being a guest on the show? https://sweetdmarketing.com/tuesday-tea-podcast/This episode is sponsored by Rhythm & Roast Coffee Co.

Caleb Ralston challenges one of the most sacred rules in personal branding: niching down. While it's technically the fastest path to growth, it's also a fast track to burnout and quitting altogether. In this conversation with Shahin Hoda, Caleb shares hard-won insights from working with some of the biggest names in business (Gary Vaynerchuk, Alex and Leila Hormozi) and reveals the sustainable approach to building a personal brand that doesn't make you hate what you've created. From why you should inject your personality into everything you make, to how organisations can build loyalty by empowering team members to develop their own brands, this episode is packed with contrarian wisdom for anyone building content for the long term. Guest Introduction Caleb Ralston is a brand strategist, content producer, and creator mentor who has worked with Gary Vaynerchuk, Leila and Alex Hormozi, and other leading voices in entrepreneurship. He now helps founders and creators scale content in a way that's sustainable, strategic, and honest through his company Ralston. Key Topics Why niching down is overrated: The conventional wisdom on niching down works in theory but leads to creator burnout and audience fatigue in practice. Caleb explains why sustainability matters more than short-term growth hacks.The sustainability framework for content creation: Building a personal brand is like fitness: you get returns by doing it forever, not by sprinting for a year and quitting. Learn how to create systems that allow you to keep showing up.Lessons from working with Gary V and the Hormozis: What most people assume about these mega-brands is completely wrong. Caleb shares the behind-the-scenes reality of how these creators actually build their influence.Injecting personality without losing focus: How to integrate your interests and quirks into your content without confusing your audience or diluting your message.Building personal brands within organisations: The Barstool Sports approach to content: why Dave Portnoy isn't in all the content, and how this creates a more scalable, sustainable media company. How this strategy applies to B2B companies.Strategic hiring for content bottlenecks: Why your first hire shouldn't be another you, and how to identify the specific constraint that's actually holding back your content production.Being 100% yourself in the age of AI: As everyone starts sounding the same on LinkedIn with ChatGPT-generated posts, authenticity becomes your competitive advantage. Caleb's advice: lean into your insecurities and the things you're terrified to share.

But China discounts energy costs for a chip company by 50%. That's right. They provide free transportation for employees to come out to the factory.但中国会将芯片公司的能源成本打五折。没错。他们还为员工提供免费的上下班交通，让他们去工厂。That's right. I mean, you don't, you can't do that. Our energy cost is more expensive than theirs in the first place.没错。我的意思是，你不能、也做不到这样。首先，我们的能源成本本来就比他们贵。Absolutely. And then they discount it 50%. And so it's probably, we'll probably call it four to eight times the cost.确实如此。然后他们再打五折。所以我们这边的成本可能要高出四到八倍。So tell me, how do you feel about this great competition with China? I mean, the government is putting enormous resources underneath their champion. We don't do that in this country. You know, how do you feel about that?那么告诉我，你怎么看待与中国之间的这场激烈竞争？我的意思是，中国政府在他们的“冠军企业”背后投入了巨大的资源。而在我们国家，我们不会这么做。你怎么看？Well, before I get there, don't let me not answer that question. I'm dying to answer it. But let me handicap the next two layers.好吧，在我回答之前，你别担心，我一定会回答这个问题，我非常想回答。但让我先分析接下来的两个层面。The model layer, the model layer, United States frontier models, our frontier models are unquestionably world class.首先是模型层，模型层。美国的前沿模型，我们的前沿模型毫无疑问是世界一流的。We are probably, call it six months ahead. However, out of the 1.4 million models, most of them are open source. China is well ahead, way ahead on open source.我们大概领先六个月左右。然而，在全球 140 万个模型中，大部分是开源的。而在开源领域，中国遥遥领先，领先得非常明显。Now, the reason why open source is so important is because without open source, startups can't thrive, university researchers can't do research, you can't teach AI, scientists can't use AI.开源之所以如此重要，是因为没有开源，初创企业无法发展，大学研究人员无法研究，你无法教授 AI，科学家也无法使用 AI。Basically, all of the industry around your economy have no ability to fundamentally advance themselves unless you have open source. Without Linux, where would we be? Without Kubernetes, without PyTorch, all of these different types of technologies that made AI thrive are all open source.基本上，除非有开源，否则你经济中的各行业都无法从根本上取得进步。没有 Linux，我们会在哪里？没有 Kubernetes，没有 PyTorch？所有让 AI 繁荣发展的这些技术全都是开源的。They are well ahead of us on open source. And then the layer above that, applications.他们在开源上远远领先我们。接下来，在更上层的是应用层。If you were to do apollof their society and ours, and you ask them, is AI likely to do more good than harm? They're going to say, in their case, 80% would say AI will do more good than harm.如果你在他们的社会和我们的社会做一个调查，问大家：AI 是“利大于弊”还是“弊大于利”？在他们那边，可能有 80% 的人会说 AI 利大于弊。In our case, it'd be the other way around. And so that tells you something that's very, very important.在我们这边，结果则完全相反。所以这说明了一个非常非常重要的事情。Socially, socially, we need to be careful not to describe AI in these science fiction movie ways of describing AI and causing people so much concern.在社会层面上，我们必须谨慎，不能用科幻电影那种方式去描述 AI，导致公众产生巨大的恐惧。We want to be concerned, but we also want to be practical. AI is about automation.我们当然应该保持关注，但也要保持务实。AI 本质上是关于自动化的。And that area, I think that we need to be careful not to fall behind in the application and the diffusion of AI, because in the end, whoever applies the technology first and most wins that industrial revolution.而在这个领域，我认为我们必须小心，不要在 AI 的应用与普及方面落后。因为最终，谁最先、最多地应用这项技术，谁就会赢得那场工业革命。As you know, electricity was invented in the UK, but the United States applied it faster, more broadly, and as a result, look where we are.你知道，电是英国发明的，但美国更快、更广泛地应用了电力技术，因此看看我们今天的发展。And so we have to be a little mindful. And so anyways, I just handicapped that stack.所以我们必须有所警惕。总之，我刚才对这个技术栈做了整体分析。And I don't think it's—it's important when you're looking at AI not to see it as a holistic thing. It's really not about ChatGPT versus DeepSeek.我不认为——重要的是，当你看待 AI 时，不要把它当成一个整体。它并不是 ChatGPT 对 DeepSeek 的简单对比。You have to look at it across all of the stacks and across all of the industries.你必须从所有技术层、所有产业层面去看它。Does that make sense? It's a little bit more complicated than one simple answer.这样说有道理吗？这件事比一个简单的回答要复杂得多。

How can the next generation of architects lead us toward a more human profession?In a special episode marking the end of her term as AIA President, Evelyn Lee hosts a candid conversation about the future of architectural leadership with two emerging voices: Gilberto Lozada Baez, the 69th president of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS), and Jordan Luther, the immediate past president of AIAS and the student director on the AIA board.Together, they explore leadership not as a title, but as an evolving journey shaped by mentorship, empathy, and the courage to step into uncomfortable spaces. Gilberto and Jordan share their personal paths from introverted students to national leaders, emphasizing how community support and "shoulder tapping" empowered them to find their voices. The discussion tackles the realities of entering the profession today, from navigating post-pandemic work cultures to advocating for mental health and livable wages, and debunks common misconceptions about Gen Z in the workplace.Evelyn, Gilberto, and Jordan also dive into the necessity of difficult conversations for growth, the power of authenticity in leadership, and why the profession must burst its "bubble" to become more interdisciplinary and human-centric. They envision a future where architects are seen as systems thinkers and problem solvers, leveraging technology like AI not to replace their work, but to enhance their ability to focus on high-impact, creative solutions."There's already so many exciting initiatives out there on community design, on how we're collaborating with others and bringing them into the profession. I just think it needs to settle. And I really hope to see that. I think the future of architecture is a little more human." - Gilberto Lozada BaezThis episode concludes with a shared hope for a profession that values its people as much as its projects, a profession where equity, diverse representation, and sustainable business models allow architects to thrive both in their work and their lives. It is a powerful reminder that the next generation isn't just inheriting the future of architecture; they are actively rewriting it with creativity, resilience, and heart.GuestsGilberto Lozada Baez is a Mexican architect and the 69th President of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS). His work explores architecture as a process honoring ecological and cultural dynamics.

In Part 2 of our Building Better Foundations interview with Hunter Jensen, founder and CEO of Barefoot Solutions and Barefoot Labs, we explore how companies can begin adapting their business to AI over the next one to three years. Rather than imagining futuristic scenarios, Hunter keeps the focus on what's already happening—and what leaders must do now to stay ahead. About Hunter Jensen Hunter Jensen is the Founder and CEO of Barefoot Solutions, a digital agency specializing in artificial intelligence, data science, and digital transformation. With over 20 years of experience, Hunter has worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft and Salesforce, to implement innovative technology strategies that drive measurable ROI. A seasoned leader and expert in the AI space, Hunter helps businesses harness cutting-edge technologies to achieve growth and efficiency. Facebook / Twitter (X) / LinkedIn / Website Where Companies Will See the First Wins When Adapting Their Business to AI Hunter starts by shortening the timeline. Five years is too far; the real transformation is happening in the next 12–36 months. Today's early value comes from AI supporting back-office functions: HR Accounting Research Administrative work These areas already show measurable ROI. But adapting your business to AI isn't just about automating repetitive tasks. "What comes next is using AI to support the thing your business actually does." – Hunter Jensen If you're in cybersecurity, AI will amplify cybersecurity tasks. If you work in finance, AI will speed up analysis and deal preparation. If you're in legal, AI will reshape workflows and client expectations. These shifts mark the second major phase of adapting your business to AI. The Coming Surplus: How AI Redefines Knowledge Work When Adapting Your Business to AI As companies begin adapting their business to AI, productivity skyrockets. Hunter predicts that many teams will get 5x more output from the same number of people. We see this creating a new challenge: a surplus of available work hours. This has already happened in software development. With AI-enhanced coding, the same team can deliver far more in far less time. Hunter warns that other knowledge-work fields—including law, consulting, and analytics—are next in line. "Layoffs are not a growth strategy. You need to innovate." – Hunter Jensen Instead of cutting staff, leaders should redirect excess capacity into new products, services, and innovation. Adapting Your Business to AI Requires Rethinking Your Model The biggest disruption comes not from tools—but from business models. Hunter shares how Barefoot Solutions, after 20 years of hourly-based software development, had to rethink its entire model when adapting its business to AI. With AI writing code faster than ever, traditional hourly billing simply couldn't reflect true value. The result? A shift toward product development, leading to the creation of Compass, an internal AI platform that helps organizations securely use their data. Many industries—especially those built on billable hours—will need to make similar changes. That means exploring: Value-based pricing Productized services Internal tools that create leverage Hybrid service + product offerings Adapting your business to AI means adapting how you make money, not just how you work. What Developers and Students Should Do Now For younger developers or recent graduates, adapting your career to AI is just as important as adapting your business to AI. Hunter recommends: Building strong AI literacy Understanding how to investigate, validate, and critique AI output Learning to integrate AI APIs into real applications Creating proof-of-concept projects that solve real business problems "The best way to learn is by building. Anything. Solve one real pain point." – Hunter Jensen Those projects become powerful résumé builders—and valuable stepping stones into the industry. Why Data Is Now the Ultimate Competitive Advantage The era of "first mover advantage" is over. AI allows competitors to replicate an idea in a weekend. But one thing cannot be cloned: your proprietary data. Hunter argues that adapting your business to AI means treating your data like a strategic asset. Companies with decades of untouched data—financial, healthcare, legal, operational—hold the new competitive moat. If you can use AI to unlock insights from that data, you create advantages no competitor can copy. Turning Disruption Into Opportunity As Hunter explains, adapting your business to AI is not optional: Productivity will surge Pricing models will shift Historic data will become a treasure chest Innovation will define survival But for entrepreneurs, leaders, and developers, this is also the most exciting moment in decades. The companies that adapt will not only survive—they'll lead. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

In this episode of the OnBase podcast, host Paul Gibson sits down with Kate Mackie to unpack why humanizing B2B marketing is no longer optional—and how brand resonance directly impacts modern go-to-market success. Kate shares her journey from agency to EY, revealing why the traditional separation between brand and demand no longer works in today's complex, elongated B2B buying cycles.She explains why trust is a brand's most valuable currency, how buying groups have doubled in size, and why marketers must deliver consistent yet human experiences across every GTM motion. From aligning sales and marketing, to building creative consistency without losing personalization, to proving brand impact on revenue, this episode is a masterclass in modern enterprise marketing.Kate also explores the disruptions defining today's market, how AI will accelerate personalization, and why human differentiation will matter more as buyers increasingly use AI as part of their research process.Key TakeawaysBrand and demand work as one spectrumBrand builds broad awareness and trust; demand converts that trust into action. Separating them weakens both.Buying groups have doubled in sizeEnterprise decisions now involve 15 people, meaning brands must influence far more stakeholders, many of whom never speak to sales.Human-centered branding drives trustEmotional relevance and clear purpose help companies stay top-of-mind through long, nonlinear buying cycles.Overconsistency reduces relevanceRigid, one-size-fits-all branding prevents teams from tailoring messages to different roles, needs, and motivations.Alignment across brand, GTM, and sales is criticalDisconnected campaigns and target lists create massive audience wastage and inconsistent buyer experiences.Customer expansion offers the quickest winsBuilding brand trust with existing clients is cheaper, faster, and often more impactful than new-customer acquisition.Measurement must combine brand and demand signalsBrand salience requires tracking awareness, consideration, social listening, and pre/post lift, not just revenue metrics.AI accelerates personalization but needs guardrailsAI can tailor creativity at scale, but only when backed by strong segmentation, a clear brand truth, and human oversight.Human differentiation will matter more as buyers use AIAs customers rely on AI for research, human experience, emotion, and trust become the true competitive advantage.Marketers must speak the language of the C-suiteTo secure buy-in, brand value must be tied directly to commercial outcomes, not marketing jargon.Quotes“Brand and demand are one and the same. It's just the difference between talking to a mass audience or a targeted one.”“When buyers use AI as part of their research, the human experience becomes the biggest differentiator.”Resource RecommendationsB2B Marketing Fundamentals, a book by Kate MackieWiredShout-OutsJennifer Aaker, General Atlantic Professo at Stanford University Graduate School of BusinessCaroline Day, Global Director, B2B Institute at LinkedInDenise Persson, CMO at SnowflakeAbout the GuestKate Mackie is a Partner (EYGP LLP) and the Global Marketing Lead at the global EY organization.

The first step to transformation is to stop doing what no longer works." – Marcia Daszko On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sat down with Marcia Daszko, a visionary leadership consultant and author of Pivot, Disrupt, Transform: How Leaders Beat the Odds and Survive. Marcia's journey—from being "excruciatingly shy" to mentoring leaders at Apple, Boeing, and the U.S. Navy—reveals a rare combination of courage, curiosity, and clarity. Her lessons, rooted in the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming, challenge leaders to abandon outdated management practices and embrace a deeper, systems-based way of thinking. From Management Fads to Meaningful Leadership Marcia began her career in marketing before being mentored by Dr. Perry Gluckman, a close associate of Dr. Deming, who revolutionized management thinking through systems theory and continuous improvement. What she learned was not just what to do, but how to think. Too often, organizations chase the latest management fad—Six Sigma, Lean, "best practices"—without understanding the systems that create real success. Marcia calls these "tragedies" because they add complexity without meaning. She estimates that 50 to 80 percent of organizational waste comes from such misguided efforts. Her process begins with a bold question: "What do we need to stop doing?" Once leaders remove what's not working, they can open the flow of communication, creativity, and collaboration—what Marcia calls the "system of profound knowledge." When systems make sense, people thrive. Watch the podcast here: Learning to See Differently Like many of my guests, Marcia helps organizations "see, feel, and think" in new ways. She starts by asking questions that uncover hidden assumptions and systemic barriers. Employees usually know what's wrong, she says, but no one listens. When she leads workshops, she doesn't rely on PowerPoint slides. Instead, she creates experiences—conversations, simulations, and reflections—that shift perspectives. "I don't get resistance," she explains, "because the exercises take care of that." It's an anthropologist's insight wrapped in a strategist's toolkit: people don't change because they're told to—they change because they experience a new way of being together. The Strategic Compass for an Uncertain Future In today's world of disruption, Marcia argues that leaders don't need a roadmap—they need a compass. The future can't be predicted; it must be navigated through exploration, experimentation, and learning. Her Strategic Compass helps executives pivot as they encounter new "rivers and mountains" in their business landscape. Leadership, she reminds us, is not about control but curiosity. The most powerful organizations foster environments where everyone can learn, question, and contribute. Her three "legs of the stool" are: Innovation as a business strategy Continuous improvement as a business strategy Quality as a business strategy Sadly, she says, quality and customer service—once foundational to success—have too often been forgotten. Building a Culture of Trust and Curiosity Both Marcia and I share a passion for culture change. She emphasizes that great leaders reduce fear and build trust. When people feel safe, they can be curious and collaborative. It's not enough to post company values on a wall; leaders must define the behaviors that bring those values to life. Her workshops often transform even the most rigid workplaces. In one session, an employee of 15 years said it was the first time he had felt truly appreciated and engaged. That's the power of inclusion, curiosity, and respect in action. Leading in the Age of AI As we discussed the rise of artificial intelligence, Marcia was unequivocal: "If you're afraid of AI, you'll be left behind." She sees AI not as a threat but as a tool for learning and transformation. The challenge, she warns, is to build guardrails—policies and ethics that guide its use responsibly. In an age when consulting firms can generate proposals in minutes, leaders must rethink how people create value. The winners will be those who empower their teams to use new tools, think critically, and continuously learn. Key Takeaways Stop before you start. Identify and eliminate wasteful management practices that add complexity without results. Think in systems. Every part of your organization is interconnected. Problems are rarely isolated. Create flow. Open channels for communication, creativity, and collaboration. Replace fear with trust. People thrive when they feel safe to contribute. Stay curious. Learning is not a phase—it's a way of life. Use AI wisely. Embrace new tools, but balance innovation with ethical governance. What You Can Do Next Run a "Stop Doing" audit. Gather your team and list processes or habits that no longer serve your mission. Eliminate one per quarter. Host a curiosity circle. Ask open-ended questions like, "What assumptions are we making?" or "What would our customers say if they were in this room?" Map your system. Visualize how information, decisions, and accountability flow. Look for bottlenecks or blind spots. Pair technology with humanity. Use AI or analytics to inform—not replace—human judgment. Model the behavior you want to see. As Marcia says, leadership begins when everyone sees themselves as a leader. Marcia Daszko's work reminds us that transformation is not about new tools—it's about new thinking.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you really implementing AI in your agency the right way? Adding a random tool just to say you “use AI” isn't the game changer many agency owners hope it will be. In fact, chasing shiny AI solutions can waste time, drain resources, and create tools your team never actually uses. Many agency leaders, especially those aiming to build a sellable business, assume any form of AI integration will automatically boost their agency's value. But today's featured guest strongly disagrees. He's seen firsthand how agencies fall into the trap of building solutions first and searching for problems later, a costly mistake that does more harm than good. Instead, he's here to share how to approach AI adoption strategically, in ways that actually stick and drive real results. Ken McLoud is the CEO of Laconic Technologies, a business that aims to help agencies figure out how to make AI actually useful. His specialty is finding high-leverage spots in your agency where AI can unlock growth without bloating your headcount. Ken helps owners avoid wasted tools and instead roll out AI that gives their teams real superpowers. In this episode we'll discuss: How agency owners are forcing AI integration the wrong way. When to use custom code. A case study of real world wins and misses. The future of AI in agencies.

Stop Forcing AI Where It Doesn't Belong Ken specializes in helping agency owners start to think strategically about AI. One of the first things he warns about is the “solution in search of a problem” trap. Too many agency owners decide, “We need to be using AI somewhere,” and then jam it into the wrong part of the business. That usually leads to tools that sound cool but don't move the needle, or worse, meet resistance from the very team that's supposed to use them. Instead, Ken suggests starting with the business itself. Are you demand-constrained (needing more leads) or supply-constrained (too much work, not enough capacity)? His litmus test is simple: if a fairy godmother doubled your clients overnight, would you cheer or panic? That answer tells you where the bottleneck really is, and that's the exact spot where AI should be applied. Case Study: Smarter Finance Insights with AskQuick.ai Ken worked to build AskQuick.ai with Nate Jenson, a fractional CFO who worked with tons of agencies. Nate had deep financial expertise but needed a way to scale his brain. Together, they built AskQuick.ai, a chatbot trained on Nate's own textbook of agency finance. The result was a tool that taps into a client's QuickBooks data to deliver specific insights, like spotting which clients are actually losing money. After a rebrand, he is now marketing the product as a simple, agency-friendly tool rather than a complex back-end. No-Code Tools vs. Custom Code: Where's the Breaking Point? Every agency owner has been tempted by tools like N8N, Zapier, or Make.com. According to Ken, these tools are perfect for simple workflows and stuff you could explain in one or two sentences. These tools are often pitched as something anyone with a computer and no experience ca n use, but once your automation starts piling up with dozens of nodes, things break constantly, and you spend more time fixing than benefiting. That's when it's smarter to build custom code. Ken compares it to driving stick shift: more control, less frustration, and often a way faster solution. AI As a Superpower Not a Replacement For Ken, the real promise of AI isn't replacing people, but rather upgrading them. He calls it “giving your team superpowers.” By offloading the repetitive, low-value work to AI, you free up your people to focus on strategy, creativity, and client impact. Instead of fearing AI, most teams welcome it. Nobody loves repetitive tasks, and when you use AI to clear that away, your staff gets to spend more time on what actually lights them up. Real-World Wins (and Misses) If you're wondering how some agencies are using AI right, Ken has seen quite a few examples. For instance, an Australian medical agency built a custom chatbot trained on years of proprietary medical content. The tool now helps their writers quickly draft accurate, technical marketing content; something that would have taken hours of research before. Huge win. On the other hand, this agency built a classic example of a solution in search of a problem. Basically, the owner wanted an elaborate folder system to organize AI chats. It sounded clever, but the writers never actually needed it. Why? Because new AI queries were faster than digging through folders. A perfect example of chasing a solution before identifying a real problem. The Future of AI in Agencies in Plain English Looking ahead, Ken sees AI becoming a tool to replace code and processes. Many things we used to hardwire with messy “if-this-then-that” logic can now be handled with prompts. That means non-technical agency owners can adjust systems in plain English instead of hiring a developer every time they need a change. These tools can make all the difference for agencies that get hundreds of deals come through every day and need a quick way to sort through the ones that can be most profitable from those that likely won't. In these cases speed is everything and AI can deliver in a way that human response cannot. However, Ken is also clear that not every problem should be handed to AI. High-value, low-risk areas, like grading prospects or filtering opportunities, are perfect testing grounds. Mission-critical, high-risk functions will probably still need human oversight for a while.

AI, Assessments & A-Graders: A Student's POV What happens when AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's VEO3 land in the hands of curious, creative high schoolers? In this episode, we talk with Caitlyn, a Year 11 student from Sydney, who gives us a front-row seat to how students are really using AI in school right now. From refining English essays with high-modality language to producing eye-catching videos that bring creative writing to life, Caitlyn shows how AI has become her on-demand study buddy, grammar coach, and even a research assistant. She unpacks how her school's “traffic light system” guides ethical AI use and reveals what happens when students take ownership of the tools and the learning. Caitlyn's perspective offers a grounded, inspiring look at the future of learning with AI. Links Caitlin's VEO3 video for the creative writing exercise, that created the change momentum. VEO3 (Google's video AI tool) - only currently available to paid Gemini or Flow subscribers. The AI Assessment Scale (which Caitlin calls the Traffic Light System, although the AIAS team have moved away from that model a bit) for appropriate AI use in assignments.

Are we heading for a future where AI knows everything but won't bother explaining it to us?Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly transforming the way industries operate and influencing the future of society as a whole. AI has become a force behind breakthrough technologies such as big data analytics, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The rise of generative AI has only accelerated its adoption and broadened its impact across multiple sectors. Navigating the Displacement DilemmaIn this episode of Tech Transformed, host Trisha Pillay at EM360Tech sits down with Nigel Cannings, author and AI expert, to explore one of the most pressing questions of our time: what happens to human expertise in the age of rapid AI advancement?Nigel Cannings warns that while technology promises efficiency and faster results, it also encourages dependency. Our patience has run thin, and in our rush for instant answers, we may be undermining the very systems that develop human expertise. “I'm kind of fascinated by the change we've seen in how we process information,” Cannings reflects.He describes the displacement dilemma as the idea that tools meant to democratise knowledge could actually erode the skills and pathways that build true mastery. He worries about people losing jobs or being too dependent on technology to even start careers. “I'm really interested to talk to people who've been affected by the displacement dilemma, people who are losing their jobs, people who think they're going to lose their jobs, people who can see the erosion of expertise and skills,” Cannings explains.The Future of AIAs artificial intelligence evolves at breakneck speed, we face a harsh reality: the gap between human and AI intelligence could become so wide that we might not even understand the systems we build. Worse still, AI itself may have no incentive to help us understand it. At that point, it stops being just a tool and becomes an autonomous entity with its private reality.In 2025, Chief AI Officers report an average AI ROI of 14 per cent, as many AI programs move beyond pilot programs to larger implementations at scale. This is proof that as AI continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, understanding its implications is important, both for industries navigating these changes and for society adapting to a new technological landscape.TakeawaysAI tools meant to democratize knowledge may erode human expertise.The displacement dilemma highlights the need for future experts.Information consumption is changing due to AI algorithms.AI relies heavily on large GPU cards for processing.Current AI models are prediction machines, not truly intelligent.Future AI may have limited intelligence in specific areas.The race in AI development is driven by financial incentives.Legislation is crucial for addressing AI's potential harms.Humans will always be needed in certain job roles.Chapters00:00 Introduction to AI and Human Expertise04:06 The Displacement Dilemma: Erosion of Expertise06:59 Changing Information Consumption in the AI Era10:07 Technical Aspects of AI: Data Centres and Encryption15:42 Limitations of AI in Scientific Discovery20:22 The Future of Superhuman AI23:23 The Race in AI Development28:18 Navigating the Future of AI LeadershipAbout Nigel...

The growth in demand from companies for the cloud services of Amazon, Microsoft and Google was red hot. Andy Jassy, boss of Amazon, said that AI revenue for Amazon Web Services (AWS) was growing at triple-digit rates—three times faster than AWS itself grew in the early years after it pioneered cloud computing in 2006.知识点：reckless adj. /ˈrekləs/showing a lack of care about danger and the possible results of your actions鲁莽的；不计后果的；⽆所顾忌的• He showed a reckless disregard for his own safety.他对个⼈安危全然⽆所顾忌。• He had always been reckless with money.他花钱总是⼤⼿⼤脚。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

Singapore's GovTech is hosting an AI CTF challenge with ~$15,000 in prizes, starting October 26th, open to both local and virtual hackers. It will be hosted on Dreadnode's Crucible platform; signup here!It is common to say if you want to work in AI, you should come to San Francisco. Not everyone can. Not everyone should. If you can only do meaningful AI work in one city, then AI has failed to generalize meaningfully.As non-Americans working in the US, we know what it's like to see AI progress so rapidly here, and yet be at a loss for what our home countries can do. Through Latent Space we've tried to tell the story of AI outside of the Bay Area bubble; we talked to Notion in New York and Humanloop and Wondercraft in London and HuggingFace in Paris and ICLR in Vienna, and the Reka, RWKV, and Winds of AI Winter episodes were taped in Singapore (the World's Fair also had Latin America representation and we intend to at least add China, Japan, and India next year).The Role of Government with AIAs an intentionally technical resource, we've mostly steered clear of regulation and safety debates on the podcast; whether it is safety bills or technoalarmism, often at the cost of our engagement numbers or ability to book big name guests with a political agenda. When SOTA shifts 3x faster than it takes to pass a law, when nobody agrees on definitions of important things, when you can elicit never-before-seen behavior by slightly different prompting or sampling, it is hard enough to simply keep up to speed, so we are happy limiting our role to that. The story of AI progress has more often been achieved in the private sector, usually in spite of, rather than with thanks to, government intervention.But industrial policy is inextricably linked to the business of AI, which we do very much care about, has an explicitly accelerationist intent if not impact, and has a track record of success in correcting for legitimate market failures in private sector investment, particularly outside of the US. It is with this lens we approach today's episode and special guest, our first with a sitting Cabinet member.Singapore's National AI StrategyIt is well understood that much of Singapore's economic success is attributable to industrial policy, from direct efforts like the Jurong Town Corporation industrialization to indirect ones like going all in on English as national first language. Singapore's National AI Strategy grew out of its 2014 Smart Nation initiative, first launched in 2019 and then refreshed in 2023 by Minister Josephine Teo, our guest today.While Singapore is not often thought of as an AI leader, the National University ranks in the top 10 in publications (above Oxford/Harvard!), and many overseas Singaporeans work at the leading AI companies and institutions in the US (and some of us even run leading AI Substacks?). OpenAI has often publicly named the Singapore government as their model example of government collaborator and is opening an office in Singapore in time for DevDay 2024.AI Engineer NationsSwyx first pitched the AI Engineer Nation concept at a private Sovereign AI summit featuring Dr. He Ruimin, Chief AI Officer of Singapore, which eventually led to an invitation to discuss the concept with Minister Teo, the country's de-facto minister for tech (she calls it Digital Development, for good reasons she explains in the pod).This chat happened (with thanks to Jing Long, Joyce, and other folks from MDDI)!The central pitch for any country, not just Singapore, to emphasize and concentrate bets on AI Engineers, compared with other valuable efforts like training more researchers, releasing more government-approved data, or offering more AI funding, is a calculated one, based on the fact that: * GPU clusters and researchers have massive returns to scale and colocation, mostly concentrated in the US, that are irresponsibly expensive to replicate* Even if research stopped today and there was no progress for the next 30 years, there are far more capabilities to unlock and productize from existing foundation models and we

Hear from Terisa Roberts, Global Head of Risk Modeling and Decisioning at SAS and Sarah Murphy, Principal Director of Accenture Data and AI, as we explore real-time customer decision making and what it means for portfolio monitoring.

T Got Your Keys... to Success!     The Power of Old School Selling in the Age of AI: A Comprehensive Guide   Introduction In the ever-evolving world of automotive sales, it's easy to get caught up in the latest trends and technologies. From AI-powered chatbots to social media marketing, there's no shortage of new tools and strategies to help sales professionals succeed. However, in our quest for innovation, we often overlook the tried and true methods that have been the foundation of successful selling for decades. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the power of old-school selling techniques and how they can complement and enhance the use of AI in the automotive industry.   Prospecting: Going Back to Basics One of the biggest challenges for sales professionals is finding new leads and getting in front of potential customers. While social media and online advertising have become popular methods for prospecting, there is still immense value in traditional community engagement. Attending local events, such as farmers' markets and community gatherings, allows salespeople to connect with potential customers on a personal level.  Tianna Mick, a car sales professional, emphasizes the importance of actually showing up and being involved in the community: "We always say it's good to drink at least X amount of water in the morning and at night. We know those are good things to do. How many of us do that? So going back to the basics of everything, especially when giving out these ideas, we really want you guys to understand that the consistency of being involved in your community is really going to fuel the fire."   Maximizing Community Engagement To maximize the impact of community engagement, sales professionals can take advantage of various opportunities. For example, attending local events and networking with attendees can lead to valuable connections and potential leads. Additionally, salespeople can leverage bulletin boards in grocery stores and other public spaces to post flyers and promote their services.  Tianna Mick shares her experience with this strategy: "I was walking in the grocery store, and on the way out, and on the way in, actually, there's this bulletin board. I remember when I was younger, it would be cluttered with so many flyers, so many things. And then I got to thinking, that's because they're not posting flyers anymore. They're posting social media ads. They're buying this ad space. So they neglected now this one avenue of customers that are literally walking into this grocery store, hundreds of people every single day, every single night, and they're neglecting this free space to put their flyer."   The Power of Handwritten Letters In the age of digital communication, the art of the handwritten letter has been largely forgotten. However, this old-school method can be incredibly effective in making a lasting impression on potential customers. Taking the time to write personalized letters and dropping them off in apartment complexes or other targeted areas can yield significant results. Tianna Mick highlights the impact of this approach: "Even if you took a Sunday out, right, and you were handwriting 50 letters and you dropped them off into an apartment complex, mailboxes, because that's my number one thing is my idea is how can I maximize my time and efforts in one place, right? I don't want to go door to door, which you can do. That's another old-school fundamental way. Just go door to door, putting letters under people's doors. But I think, how can I maximize my time? So I seek out apartment buildings, I seek out big businesses that I can go in and just put in my flyer, put in my cards, put in my handwritten note, so that way I can maximize my time."   The Rise of AI: Chat GPT While old-school selling techniques are valuable, it's important to embrace the power of AI in the automotive industry. One tool that has gained significant attention is Chat GPT, an AI-powered chatbot that can assist sales professionals in various tasks. LA Williams shares his experience with Chat GPT: "I love Chat GPT. I get tongue-tied when I say that to LA. I love Chat GPT only because, like you said, the grunt work. Oh, my gosh. In car sales, obviously, if you have your CRM set up properly with the proper automation, which Dealer Synergy and I can help you out with, answering emails would take so much time out of my day. So much time. And Chat GPT literally makes an email for me in 30 seconds."   Harnessing the Power of Chat GPT To harness the power of Chat GPT effectively, sales professionals must understand how to use it to their advantage. By providing clear instructions and desired outcomes, Chat GPT can generate personalized and compelling email responses in a matter of seconds. Tianna Mick explains the process: "I copy the email, I say, 'Reply as Tianna Mick, car sales professional at ABC Motors, letting the customer know, along with our value package proposition, that we would like to schedule an appointment with him as soon as possible and entice him to want to watch this new video I just made for him.' I put that in with the copied email, and it literally, in 30 seconds, maybe less, gives me a complete email saying, 'Hey, La Williams, thank you so much for your choice to decide to shop with us at ABC Motors. Look at this personalized video, and then it'll say, insert video here.'"   The Future Outlook: Combining Old School and AI As the automotive industry continues to evolve, the successful sales professional of the future will be one who combines the power of old-school selling techniques with the efficiency and effectiveness of AI tools like Chat GPT. By prospecting in the community, engaging with potential customers on a personal level, and leveraging the power of handwritten letters, sales professionals can create meaningful connections and stand out from the competition. Additionally, by harnessing the capabilities of AI tools like Chat GPT, sales professionals can streamline their workflow and enhance their communication with customers.   Conclusion In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, it's crucial to strike a balance between old-school selling techniques and cutting-edge AI tools. By embracing community engagement, leveraging the power of handwritten letters, and harnessing the capabilities of AI tools like Chat GPT, sales professionals can maximize their success and increase their income. The future of automotive sales lies in the integration of these two worlds, where personal connections and technological advancements work hand in hand to create a winning formula. So, go out there, embrace the power of old-school selling, and let AI tools like Chat GPT take your career to new heights.   Resources Dealer Synergy & Bradley On Demand: The automotive industry's #1 training, tracking, testing, and certification platform and consulting & accountability firm.

Episode 115: Leading a Culture of MentorshipHow do you apply mentorship in project work and team collaboration?Mentorship is a term frequently used in the field of architecture. But what exactly is mentorship? Many architects struggle to mentor because they're unsure what mentorship looks like and when to apply it. To help retain, attract, and develop the next generation of architects, the concept of mentorship is a necessary leadership tool needed inside the architecture firm to support a healthy culture of feedback and guidance. By considering mentorship as an integral part of a talent development strategy, architects can introduce mentorship conversations at the project level of their day-to-day operations. To help us discuss applied mentorship within project settings and teams, we've invited Ben Kasdan to join us. Ben is a Principal and Design Leader at KTGY in Washington, DC. He'll share some of the ways he's thought about mentorship in the context of managing his projects and people.Guest:Ben Kasdan, AIA, is a Principal and Design Leader at KTGY in Washington, DC.
