Jeremiah Jenson, vice president of North Amiercan channels at HPE In The Channel has gone deep on HPE Discover 2026 – from Justin McGarry’s walkthrough of the compute and AI infrastructure story, to Ben Fallon on the networking pivot and partner program overhaul, to front-line perspectives from Canadian partners CompuGen, Powerland, and Long View. Today, we’re closing the arc with HPE vice president of North America channel and partner ecosystem Jeremiah Jenson, recorded on the final afternoon of the show. Jenson says the temperature on the floor is “white hot,” driven by the clarity of the message and the proof points HPE brought to partners this year. The 30-day quote validity and expanded credit terms – announced at Partner Growth Summit – got what he called the strongest reaction in the room, and he credits Canadian partners specifically as “by no means the quietest voice in the room” in making that change happen. On networking, Jenson says he’s reset targets higher for data center networking and wants the Canadian channel to lead the charge. He points to partners historically from the Juniper and Aruba sides now expanding into HPE’s Private Cloud AI business, and to data center partners adopting Marvis and the data center networking stack to take share from Cisco. He also walks through what he calls the “great VM reset” – HPE’s push around Morpheus Enterprise and VME as alternatives for partners and customers facing Broadcom’s VMware changes – and sets an aggressive target for North American partners to lead globally on VME certifications. On the Canadian front, Jenson highlights conversations around provincial government opportunity and data sovereignty as distinct from the broader North American channel, and offers a direct message to partners: stop worrying about what HPE used to be, and start picking a clear point of view on where the portfolio fits your customer base. Read Full Transcript Hello and welcome to In The Channel from ChannelBuzz.ca, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel community for the last 16 years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca and your host for the show. Since HPE Discover 2026, we’ve been all over the subject. You’ve heard from HPE’s Justin McGarry on the compute and AI infrastructure story, from Fallon McCarthy on the networking pivot and partner program changes, and from three Canadian partners, Compugen, Powerland and Long View, on what HPE’s strategy looks like from the front lines of the Canadian channel. Today we close the arc as we sit down once again with HPE’s Vice President of North American Channel and Partner Ecosystems, Jeremiah Jenson. It’s a conversation that takes the temperature of the show floor after three days of partner meetings, looks at where the biggest margin opportunities actually are for partners, and asks what one thing Canadian partners should stop doing and start doing as they head into the second half of 2026. Let’s get right into it. My chat with Jeremiah Jenson. Interview: Robert Dutt: Jeremiah, thanks for taking the time. Once again, good to catch up with you. Jeremiah Jenson: Yeah, great to see you, Rob. Thanks. It’s Wednesday afternoon at Discover as we sit down, and the good news is you’re still standing. That’s a win in its own right at this point. You’ve now sat in a lot of rooms with partners who have heard the full story that we talked about in the previous podcast we did together. I’m curious your thought on the temperature, the reaction, what’s landing differently in the conference room than it did on the keynote stage, that kind of thing. Jeremiah Jenson: I mean, the temperature is phenomenal. There’s so much excitement about… There were a lot of announcements this week, but the clarity of message, while I say it this way, we’ve packed a full month into this week, but the clarity of that message and how it’s being very clearly communicated, clear opportunity for partners to go execute on and take advantage of that very real opportunity that we have right in front of us. So I think it’s landing really well from a temperature standpoint. I mean, white hot, I mean, there’s just a tremendous amount of excitement. Robert Dutt: I want to start with a thing that I felt got one of the strongest reactions on Monday, the 30-day validity terms announced. Now the partners have a few days to process that, as well as the quote-to-cash stuff and the expanded credit terms. Is it changing the feel of the deal conversation or is it still a, you know, we have to see it roll out before it does? Jeremiah Jenson: I think it changes the feel. It did get a very strong reaction. It got the strongest reaction in the room. I think one thing that it says, it’s a very clear proof point about how we’re very in tune with the market. We know that it’s been a very difficult situation with what’s going on in the industry with rising commodity costs and things along those lines. And it’s a very clear proof point around how we’re listening to our customers, how we’re listening to our partners, and changing how we can help support them through this time. So I don’t think it’s a wait and see. We have a very clear proven track record of building and earning trust with our channel community. And now we’re executing. So we are what, two and a half days later, a day and a half later, and executing. Robert Dutt: On Monday, on the podcast we ran Monday, you asked partners to go one more mile to consider bringing, you know, one more HPE product line to their customers. Three days later, are you seeing an appetite for that? And that was certainly also a theme throughout the event is the idea of cross-selling and representing more of the portfolio. But I’m curious what you’ve seen in terms of appetite for that, or is it still a heavy lift in a situation where a lot of partners are trying to go deeper and do better in single areas? Jeremiah Jenson: Yeah. So a little bit more about that for your listeners and for those of you who have not met personally, I use the one more mile thing. I’m known as long distance runner. It’s my hobby. It’s something that I’m passionate about and I’m happy to get distracted talking about. But the analogy lands really well. Can we just do one more? And again, back to how clear the message has been, how clear the opportunity is right in front of us. And we are seeing partners adopt that cross-sell motion, but it’s also beyond just cross-sell or upsell or something along those lines. It’s a very clear opportunity to help them grow their business. It’s not just, okay, would you like fries with that? It’s you’re really good in the data center. Now you have a data center networking opportunity that not only can you take that to your existing customer, but you can build your business around that expanded opportunity that we now offer you. And that is very real. So love for you to run another mile with us. We had our inaugural 10K run this week as well. But at the same time, we want to help you grow your business in yet another direction. Robert Dutt: What’s the signal it tells you that partners are buying into that and are succeeding in expanding beyond? Whether it’s adding networking, if they’re a traditional compute and storage house or whatever that expansion is. Jeremiah Jenson: We see a very clear signal, a very strong signal in how partners are adopting the Partner Ready Vantage Triple Platinum Plus framework. We are seeing partners move up that stack and across the portfolio in a very meaningful way. That is a very clear proof point, not only in the opportunity in the market, but how we’re supporting partners to take advantage of that opportunity. Robert Dutt: And that’s Triple Platinum Plus is a big ask. There’s a lot behind it, but it sounds like there’s some real momentum too. Jeremiah Jenson: There is real momentum. It is a big ask because there’s a lot of very real dollars, but I would also say don’t get consumed with, “Oh my God, I’ve got to get to Triple Platinum Plus.” The framework around how that program lands around the different centers is very attainable to help you grow. Again, back to the mile analogy, one more mile at a time. No one goes from running a 5K to a marathon. We’d love to help get you there. And at the same time, let’s go through the right training, the right enablement, and the right support process to get you there. Robert Dutt: All right. What’s the conversation you’ve had this week that surprised you? Not the one that you expected you have, but the one that partners are bringing to you that maybe caught you a bit off guard or just weren’t expecting to be as big a focus as it has been. Jeremiah Jenson: Yeah, I mean, networking is front and center. I don’t know that I want to say that I was surprised by that, but I will say the energy and excitement around networking, HPE networking, how the progress we have made over the last year has just been absolutely phenomenal. So that’s first and front and center. And it really starts with how we’re integrating and accelerating our efforts there. Another thing that I would say that is really just an equal amount of excitement is the Great VM Reset. So some of the announcements we’ve made around Morpheus Enterprise, VME, how we’re working with partners to take advantage of the Great VM Reset. Look, no one’s looking for a greater expense. So the 90% cost savings opportunity that’s out there, there’s just a lot of momentum in a couple of these very, very strategic areas. And to put a finer point on it, sometimes historically, you get through the base of the business and then you try and work into some strategic areas. We are starting from the strategic areas. We’re starting from networking. We’re starting from Morpheus Enterprise and VME. We’re starting from storage and then bringing the rest of the very strong pieces of the portfolio along with us. Robert Dutt: Canadian partners are a specific cohort and usually aren’t terribly shy about sharing their opinions on things. I’m curious what you’re hearing from the Canadian contingent that feels distinct from the broader North American channel. In terms of data sovereignty, in terms of market relevance, those kinds of things. Jeremiah Jenson: Yeah, I mean, I’d love to meet a shy Canadian partner first and foremost. I mean, they have a very clear voice and a very clear, passionate point of view around what is important to the Canadian market. So certainly there’s data sovereignty. Data sovereignty is really important to them, but then there’s also other pieces around what’s going on with things like provincial governments. I’ve had a number of conversations around what’s going on with what I will call broadly the public sector space in Canada. We had a very deep conversation around provincial business and how we can work together with partners to help capture that. And that was very distinct and a very, well, certainly a new opportunity and an area for us to grow, but also had a very clear point of view that comes from a Canadian perspective. And then of course, there’s data sovereignty. There’s the requirements of how Canadian partners are helping Canadian customers. And I always love the Canadian cohort, just their passion, their commitment to their country and to their business, and the fact that doing business locally is important. And that’s where, just from my standpoint, they have a level of intimacy with their customers that I could never… We as HPE don’t intend to and don’t want to replace. We simply want to help and accelerate that because they have a level of knowledge that I will never understand. Robert Dutt: Fidelma Russo framed the enterprise AI shift this morning as moving from pilots to production systems. For a partner listening to this, what does the unlock look like practically and what do they need to get ready for? Jeremiah Jenson: I mean, the AI phenomenon isn’t a future opportunity. It is here right now. I’ve said that a couple of times. It is here now. So it’s not pilots. It’s how are we helping them just accelerate that with customers? And I say the word accelerate a lot, but to make it a little bit more real, what I would ask Canadian partners to do to get ready for is frame a point of view. AI is a very broad, amorphous topic. Agentic AI is very real, but there are pieces of this phenomenon that partners should have a clear point of view on, whether that’s getting the data structure in the exact right place, whether that’s the security angle and what we’re doing to help with our software components around security for AI, or whether that’s what we’re doing around agentic AI and having the right governance and control. But it all starts with what is the customer business problem that we’re trying to solve and then working backwards from that and how we enable the partner to help solve that business problem. But it’s incumbent upon the partner to have a very clear point of view. And we will underpin that and enable that with our programs, with our technology and with our capability in partnership with them. Robert Dutt: Similar idea, but from a partner financials point of view, where do you see the biggest actual margin opportunities for partners in the AI and the agentic AI shift right now and into the near future? Jeremiah Jenson: I mean, directly the largest margin opportunity is in the services aspect. So partners that have a very mature or have built out a services practice, whether that’s professional services or whether that’s managed services practice customers are looking for a partner who can help them make that requirement to insert AI into their business. They’re looking for them to help that become a reality. So that’s the first part. So we’ve got a number of capabilities, whether that’s partner branded services or things along those lines, but services is always the most profitable piece of the business. Beneath that, I think it’s really important for partners to understand where is their business, where is their business, who is their customer base and what are they looking for and whether that’s our networking business, whether that’s our cloud business or whether that’s our AI business. So we have award winning programs to support that. We’ve announced a number of new things, whether that’s NBO in the new business competitive takeout in the storage space, NBO for compute. There’s new business opportunity compensation on the networking side. So there’s a number of different places and it’ll depend on the partner’s business, but there’s a fantastic margin opportunity across the portfolio. Robert Dutt: There’s a lot of aggressive actions going on here. In terms of you’ve got a Cisco displacement opportunity, you’ve got the VMware migration opportunity, you’ve got some of the things you point out. I’m just, I guess I’m curious how you’re prioritizing those competitive opportunities within the channel and for a partner with limited bandwidth, where would you suggest they focus? Jeremiah Jenson: Yeah, I mean, I think it’s a difficult question to ask and the reason it’s difficult to ask or it’s difficult to answer is because every partner has a different go to market and has a different strategy. We, I wouldn’t prioritize any one area above the other because there are networking partners that have, I’ll give you a couple of examples and proof points. There are networking partners that have come to us from the Juniper side or from the Aruba side, what we now call HPE networking. That are now expanding directly into our PC AI business. I had a meeting this afternoon with a very sizable partner who historically has been from the networking side of the business that saw an opportunity to expand their business into our AI business and they’re leading with PC AI as an example. We see other partners who have historically been very strong data center partners and see an opportunity from networking and have are very strongly adopting our Marvis solutions and our data center networking solutions and are bringing that to their customer base and using that to take new market share with Cisco. So what I would say is partners have chosen a very strong point of view. They understand their customer base and they’re expanding with our portfolio to very strategic adjacent areas. Robert Dutt: I sat down with Brad Shapiro a little while ago from the HPEFS side of things and got the view of how things are going and what kind of struck me about that conversation was the way that they’re getting closer with the business units and being able to sort of better present the whole thing. I’m curious how you’re viewing financial services in the channel org and the opportunity there to remove friction, to make deals easier to do all the things that they’re going to. Jeremiah Jenson: Yeah. HPEFS is a strategic weapon and a strategic enabler of the business. Full stop. What they’ve done with that 90, there’s a current initiative called the 99 promotion that they have around how they’re helping customers overcome some of the financial hurdles to get to a full modernized hybrid IT infrastructure. And so their integration and the just interlock between the different business units to help unlock that opportunity for customers. It was very clearly an opportunity is very clearly a situation where we saw an inhibitor of the business HPEFS as a strategic partner to us to help unlock that opportunity. And I would just use that as an opportunity to say how leaders such as Brad Shapiro or any other leader of any other business unit are working together to solve for customer problems and help them get to where they need to go. It’s just a very clear proof point. So that 99 for your partners out there, have a look at that 99 opportunity and how we can bring that to customers sooner rather than later. Don’t use it as a diving catch. Get it in sooner. Make it a part of what you do day in and day out. Robert Dutt: By the time this episode airs, listeners will have heard from three Canadian partners that I talk to this week, Compugen, Powerland, Long View. Without knowing what they told me, what’s the one thing that you’d hope that they’re telling me about how they’re working with HPE right now? And maybe one thing you worry they might have said. Jeremiah Jenson: Well, I don’t know that I worry about anything that they would have said. Those are all very strong Canadian partners. They’re all very strong HPE partners, Hewlett Packard Enterprise partners. And we’re excited about our growth plan with each of them. They are all leading in different areas. So from a Powerland standpoint, I suspect there’s probably a conversation around GreenLake and how they’re taking GreenLake a little bit more broadly. They have headed back to what I said earlier. That is a partner that has a very clear point of view with their customer base and how they are using some of our more strategic pieces of the portfolio to really drive a strong customer outcome. You mentioned Compugen. Compugen love what they’re doing in Toronto and more broadly and how we’re working together with them to really… That’s a partner we really listen to in terms of what they’re seeing from a market standpoint, from a pricing standpoint, and how we can execute faster. And so they’ve been very tight with us in terms of how we need to frame some of our policies and how we need to accelerate based on real world customer feedback and work from there. And then from a Long View standpoint, I sat down with Dave this week. Great man. Love to see what they’re doing and how they are expanding their business across the portfolio. They’ve got a very strong, again, very strong clear point of view, what we want to do around storage and networking especially. And so again, they’ve understood the pieces of the portfolio that are very relevant to their customers. And we were just very explicit about what we are going to do together to help grow that piece of the business. So that’s what I… If you can learn from those three partners, if nothing else, have a very clear point of view. Robert Dutt: All right. One of the things that Canadian partners always raise is the issue of data sovereignty. The sense that being north of the border means different rules, different customer expectations, sometimes different product availability. Where does that show up in your priorities in the channel org in the second half of the year? Jeremiah Jenson: Well, I guess I would frame my answer this way. The rules are different. And that’s where Canadian partners are so valuable, not only to me, but to the broader Hewlett Packard enterprise. Though the partners that are in that market have a depth of understanding and a depth of knowledge of those requirements and are really helping to put the right, whether that’s, I want to say solutions, a word that is too often used, but at the end of the day, they are solving business problems around those requirements. You know, data sovereignty, product availability, what level of service is offered based on whether that’s location geography, whether that’s in the provincial government or whether that’s in a commercial customer, they have an understanding. And I think that that’s the piece that is so valuable about the channel is they have a level of understanding and a way to work with us to help satisfy the customer. So I’m hearing a lot about data sovereignty. I’m hearing a lot about pricing requirements and things along those lines. I mean, let’s be honest, some of the feedback that we heard from Canada was some of the loudest feedback that we heard in terms of, and that helped us make the change that we did around 30-day quote validity. So we made some very specific changes and Canadians were by no means the quietest voice in the room. And, you know, we’ve mentioned some people here today that were very clear in their escalations and what they needed to service their customers. Robert Dutt: All right. If you’re a Canadian partner listening to this, you know, what’s one thing that you’d like them to stop doing and one thing they should start doing? Degree of difficulty. The answers are not selling the other guys and selling HP. Jeremiah Jenson: No, yeah. You know, I don’t ever have the ask of stop selling the other guys. At the end of the day, we have the right products. We have the right program. And we are going to earn our place based on our channel heritage, based on our predictability and based on the trust we will earn. So I have a tremendous amount of confidence that when we work with channel partners, we will win based on our predictability, based on our trust, based on the quality of products and programs that we put in market. So I don’t have that ask of partners. We are going to earn our place very intentionally. So my ask of them, the one thing to do is, I say it a lot, but pick a point of view. There is a place in this portfolio where we can help one another and help your customer produce the business outcome that they want. Let’s identify what are those one or two things that we can do together to help go that extra mile. How can we run one more mile together? That’s my ask. The other piece that I would ask is to what not to do is, I think the past helps frame where we want to go, but we don’t have to worry about what used to be. We don’t have to worry about what used to be with HPE or going all the way back to HPE or to Compaq or things along those lines. I’ve been back at HPE for a year now and the past helps frame where we want to go. So my what not to do is we don’t have to worry about what used to be. What we do want to help do is where are we going. So that’s the way I would say that is it’s a new day. We are on the front foot. We are very aggressive about where we’re going and what we’re going to do. And come join us. Robert Dutt: Let’s talk about that future a little bit. Where do you want the HPE channel to be on January 1, 2027 that it is today? What are you kind of focused on for the back half of the year? Jeremiah Jenson: A back half of the year, just to be, if you will, a little bit more point in time. I have some very clear goals around our networking business and to make that a little bit more real, the data center networking business, our wireless business, our campus and branch business is performing very well. Our data center networking business is also performing very, very well. And so I’ve reset some targets higher than they were around our data center networking business. So I have some very high expectations around data center networking. So I would love the Canadian channel to lead that charge from a data center networking standpoint. Also our hybrid cloud business. So we have very clear expectations around VME certifications and things along those lines because customers are demanding a different level of outcome from their virtualized environments. I mean, let’s be honest, no one is looking for more Broadcom in their business today. There isn’t customers saying, I’d like some more of that. I want to be treated more like that. And we have a very clear solution. And so we’re looking at VME certifications and you see how we’ve put out the virtualization competency and then we’re helping partners use VME for IT so that they can drink their own champagne. So I want Canadian partners and I want North America to lead the way globally around VME certifications. So I have some very high expectations around our hybrid cloud business. That also extends to our storage business. Our storage business is growing at triple digits. It’s phenomenal with what we’re seeing there. And so storage is another piece. And then by no means last, but the third thing I would say is I have very clear goals around co-selling, what we call co-selling. How are we bringing the HPE Salesforce, which is a very different sales force now. It’s a growing sales force. It’s one, Phil Mottram, our chief revenue officer, is making investments in North America sales. How do we get our sales teams together with our partner sales teams and again, go to a new customer, a new opportunity, go take that extra mile? So it’s those three things. Robert Dutt: All right. Similar idea, but waking up January 1st of next year, what will be the metric or two that would tell you that Discover 2026 was a turning point for some of these important changes that you see coming? Jeremiah Jenson: Yeah. What’s interesting is just the conversation has at Discover or some of these sort of events, you always kind of start with the base of the business, the core of the business, and then you expand the conversation to some of the strategic areas. This year is very different in that we are working from the networking, the hybrid cloud pieces of the business, the software pieces of the business, and that has been the conversation all week, and it’s been really exciting to see. So waking up January 1, knowing that it’s real, we will have surpassed the raised expectations that I had around the networking business. We will have surpassed our expectations around hybrid cloud, Morpheus Enterprise, and storage. And then I also want to see us look at very strongly how do we accelerate our compute business, our AI business? That is, we’re producing very real customer outcomes. How do we take that to the rest of the market that hasn’t yet taken the first step around AI? So that’s the third thing I would put in there. Robert Dutt: Okay. Not so much a strategy question as a human one, but what’s one moment from this week that you’re going to, you think you’re going to remember six months from now? Jeremiah Jenson: Six months from now, what’s a moment? I will certainly remember the 30-day quote announcement. Six months from now, that’s more of a human moment. Also, I mean, just the connections that we’ve had, you know, as much as that’s maybe a straightforward answer, one thing my boss and I did, we had a, I mentioned running earlier, we had a 10K run for the first time that kind of came up as a thing. We had some Canadians join us. It became an international event. We had a South African that was there. We had a couple people from the UK. It just kind of organically grew, and it’s nice to see people really come together. That has been really nice. One other thing, you know, six months from now, the World Cup is ongoing right now. So just to call that out, it’s the first time I believe I don’t have the history that the rest of the world does with the World Cup. But just to see that happen and how that’s brought together, the fact that it’s in North America, and you can have some of those ancillary conversations and really frame some lasting bonds around some of that. You know, the tie for Spain or things along those lines. There have been things like that, and those common experiences that we have together are helping us build strong bonds from which we can grow the business. Robert Dutt: Working for HP, are you contractually required to be a fan of the Argentine? Jeremiah Jenson: I am not. I’m not contractually obligated. I personally, I love a good international competition, whether that’s the World Baseball Classic, the Olympics, the hockey, instead of doing the All-Star Game, you know, what they did with the Tournament of Four, this last. I love that sort of stuff. I’m not an Argent as much as Antonio might be upset about that. Nothing against Messi. I’m sure he’s a phenomenal player. At the end of the day, I’m an American. I’m going to cheer for the United States. But I also back the pack. So when it comes down to it, it’s going to be a, I’m going to cheer for the North America side of things, whoever that may be. Robert Dutt: There you go. Last one for me. When we talk next, whether that’s at Discover Next Year, hopefully sometime ahead of that, what do you hope we’re talking about? Jeremiah Jenson: I mean, I hope we talk about how we’re seeing compounded growth. We’re seeing acceleration in the business across the portfolio now. I hope we’re talking about how we compound that. How do we, you know, it’s, you know, growing at the pace that we’re growing to continue to that growth on a larger number would drive compounded growth. So I would love to see the pace, the percentage at which we’re growing be continued. I’d love to have that conversation next year. And we’re going to do that with partners. Robert Dutt: Good answer. And I don’t know how many partners are going to turn their nose up at the idea of compounding growth. So I think who wouldn’t love that end there. Good. Awesome. I appreciate your taking the time once again, safe journeys home. And thanks for thanks for helping us out so much running the channel over the last, the last couple of weeks. Jeremiah Jenson: You bet. Rob, thanks. Always good to talk to you. Show outro: There you have it, Jeremiah Jenson from HPE. I’d like to thank Jeremiah for making the time at the end of what was a very long week in Las Vegas and the candor he brought to the conversation that could easily have stayed at the level of talking points. A few things I’d like to take away from this one. First, the energy around networking isn’t just keynote rhetoric. Jenson is resetting targets higher for data center networking specifically, and he’s looking to the Canadian channel to lead part of that charge. Second, the 30-day quote validity landed because partners were loud about it, and Canadian partners were among the loudest. That matters. And third, the through line of this whole arc from HPE Discover is that the company is trying to shift from a base of the business story to a strategic front foot story. Networking, hybrid cloud and the VMware reset aren’t afterthoughts anymore. They’re the opening argument.

Gemma Luzzi was collecting a $75-a-week paycheck for walking two dogs when she decided to start introducing herself as CEO. Not because she had a team, or a client roster, or a plan. Because she'd already left one identity behind and refused to build the next one small. This episode is a masterclass in becoming someone before your results catch up. In this episode we dive into:​Why "acting like the CEO" before you have a single client is the highest-leverage move most new business owners never make​How a $75-a-week dog walking business replaced a full corporate income in three months​Why selling a thriving six-figure business came with more guilt than starting it did​How in-person networking events became Gemma's most reliable client and content pipelineFurloughed, Fed Up, and $75 A Week​Gemma spent years in corporate recruiting and HR, was furloughed during COVID, then called back in January 2021 for being too good at her job​She told her boss three separate times she wasn't happy. New responsibilities, then a raise. The third time, her boss said, "That's for you to figure out now"​Every night after a draining 9-to-5, she set a 5-minute timer and researched what she actually wanted, letting the timer run longer each week​She left corporate in November with no business plan, using a booked trip to Aruba as the deadline that would force her out the doorActing Like The CEO Before There Was Anything To Run​At $75 a week walking two dogs, she was embarrassed enough to hide it from people who knew her old corporate title​One blunt question from someone close, "are you actually going to make this work," pushed her to a decision: start acting like the CEO of the company today​She introduced herself as CEO at networking events and wrote SOPs and employee handbooks while she still had exactly two dogs and one client​The business replaced her full corporate income in three months, then scaled to six figures, until 7-day weeks and 15 overnights straight forced her to finally learn to delegateFrom Dog Walking To Discernment-Based Coaching​She sold the business to her own right-hand employee, then sat in a hotel parking lot wrestling the guilt of walking away from something that looked perfect on paper​She rebuilt her identity again, bought a blazer, tried to sound like other coaches online, until she went back to cursing and just being herself​That shift became Profit Partner, her coaching container built on self-trust and discernment instead of one-size-fits-all frameworks​She launched CEO Sessions, in-person networking events in New Jersey that sell out every time and now double as her most reliable client and content pipelineThis conversation is proof there's no such thing as one way to build a business, only the way that actually feels true to you.

SmarTrak.ai Turns Cisco Data Into Partner Growth, Podcast Cisco 360, AI, refresh cycles, and multivendor migration are creating new openings — and SmarTrak.ai says partners have a timely opportunity to grow more strategically. “We help them manage their practice, grow their practice, and increase their profitability around it,” says Ted Lee of SmarTrak.ai. In this Technology Reseller News podcast, recorded following Cisco Live, Doug Green speaks with Ted Lee of SmarTrak.ai about the company's expanding role in helping Cisco partners turn Cisco data into actionable business intelligence. Lee describes SmarTrak.ai as a platform built to help Cisco partners manage their Cisco practice by ingesting data from Cisco APIs and other sources. The goal, he says, is to give partners better visibility into customer environments, including hardware assets, software, services, service contracts, subscriptions and enterprise agreements. For end customers, SmarTrak.ai provides visibility into Cisco infrastructure and spending, helping organizations optimize their environments while giving partners a more strategic way to support long-term customer retention. The discussion focuses heavily on Cisco 360, one of the major themes at Cisco Live. Lee says SmarTrak.ai announced a Cisco 360 module designed to help partners understand how they can perform under the program, identify opportunities to improve their scores, and increase profitability with Cisco. “We announced at Cisco Live that we had a 360 module that we are releasing that gives predictability into how they can perform, how to optimize it,” Lee says. “Since we have their entire estate with every one of their customers globally, we can then give them opportunities with which they can raise their scores in order to increase their profitability with Cisco.” Lee also points to a larger market moment for Cisco partners. With major refresh cycles, end-of-life events, new AI-enabled products and changing customer infrastructure requirements, partners have an opportunity to move from reactive selling to more strategic planning. SmarTrak.ai is also putting that intelligence directly into the hands of sales teams. The company announced a mobile application designed for sellers and solutions engineers who are meeting customers in the field, giving them access to forward-looking intelligence around sustainability swaps, end-of-life replacements, AI replacement SKUs and other Cisco-driven opportunities. “Sales reps are not sitting at their desks,” Lee says. “These partners are out with their customers, and we are putting this wealth of intelligence in the hands of their sales reps and their solutions engineers.” The podcast also covers SmarTrak.ai's multivendor migration capabilities. Lee notes that customer environments are rarely Cisco-only. Partners often encounter Juniper, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Aruba, Ruckus, HPE and other installed platforms. SmarTrak.ai's migration platform allows partners to ingest those install bases and build forward-looking roadmaps for when it may make sense to replace other platforms with modern Cisco solutions. Lee says the platform can help customers budget, help partners quote more effectively, and help move opportunities toward higher-level Cisco buying programs such as enterprise agreements. The conversation also touches on audit readiness. Lee says SmarTrak.ai has helped partners pass CX Expert and advanced audits by providing the visibility and health scoring needed to support certifications, partner status, rebates and incentives. “We are a full Cisco practice engine to help them take advantage of the wealth of data and opportunity in front of them and turn it into revenue and profitability with the end customers,” Lee says. AI is also part of the SmarTrak.ai story. Lee says the company was founded in early 2023, as large language models were becoming more widely accessible, and recognized an opportunity to use AI against Cisco's large data universe. SmarTrak.ai is SOC 2 Type II and is pursuing ISO 27001 certification, Lee says, emphasizing that the company is “security first” while using AI to help partners analyze data faster and identify new sales opportunities. Lee describes the result as “agentic lifecycle intelligence,” enabling partners to generate forward-looking Cisco practice plans, budgets, replacement strategies, enterprise agreement eligibility, and takeover opportunities across large customer bases. “One of our customers has nearly 10,000 Cisco customers,” Lee says. “They can view any customer in the world with a few clicks of their mouse, and they can create a five-year forward-looking internal or external Cisco practice plan.” The podcast offers a look at how SmarTrak.ai is positioning itself as a Cisco partner growth platform: helping partners make Cisco data more usable, make customer conversations more strategic, prepare for Cisco 360, manage refresh cycles, and turn infrastructure intelligence into recurring revenue opportunities.

Dave Frederickson, executive vice president of strategic alliances and business development at Long View Systems There are not many people who can look at HPE Discover 2026 from the vantage point of someone who helped build it. Dave Frederickson spent over 24 years at HP, including leading the enterprise servers, storage, and networking business for HP Canada right around the time Discover was created as a unified event in 2011. He joined Long View Systems in June 2012 and is now executive vice president of strategic alliances and business development. That backstory matters, because Dave comes to this week with something almost no one else on the show floor has: direct memory of the HP that lost its way, the acquisition misadventures, and what it looks like when a large technology company loses focus. His verdict on the HPE of 2026? It has its mojo back – and the Juniper integration is the piece that finally makes the networking-plus-compute-plus-storage story credible in a way it could not be before. We also get into the real operational cost of the January quote-cycle crisis – the move to 7- and 14-day quote windows that Dave says created “an astronomical amount of overhead” for Long View’s operations teams – and what the return to 30-day quote validity actually signals coming out of the Partner Growth Summit. On AI, Dave pushes back – respectfully – on Antonio Neri’s keynote framing that the network is the foundation. For Long View, the conversation still starts at the data and governance layer. And he flags tokenomics as the near-term friction point that is coming for a lot of organizations faster than they may realize, with cost predictability becoming the real barrier to AI ROI conversations. For more from HPE Discover 2026, see our full coverage hub and our earlier preview episode with Jeremiah Jenson, VP of North America channel at HPE. Read Full Transcript ROBERT DUTT: Hello and welcome to In The Channel from ChannelBuzz.ca, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel community for the last 16 years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor at ChannelBuzz.ca, and your host for the show. We’re here at HPE Discover in Las Vegas this week, and sometimes the best conversations happen by accident. Dave Frederickson is executive vice president of Strategic Alliances and Business Development at Long View Systems, one of Canada’s leading IT solution providers. But what makes Dave’s take on this week uniquely worth hearing is what he did before he got to Long View. Many in the channel know Dave for his 24 years at HP. He led the channel for a long time, and he spent some time leading the enterprise server, storage, and networking business for HP Canada right around the time Discover was created as a unified event in 2011. He’s been on the partner side now for 14 years, and that gives him an interesting lens on HPE – where it has been, where it’s struggled, and where it is today – that very few people walking the show floor this week can match. I happened to catch up with Dave at the airport in Vegas after we both arrived here, and he graciously agreed to sit down and share his thoughts on this week. Let’s get right into it. My chat with Dave Frederickson. ROBERT DUTT: Dave, thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it. DAVE FREDERICKSON: My pleasure. ROBERT DUTT: I have to ask you the obvious one first. If I’m thinking back correctly to your time at HP, you were actually leading ESSN around the time that HP Discover became a thing in 2011. And here you are 15 years later at HPE’s major show Discover, representing one of the major Canadian partners. Does it feel a little bit like old home week? And also, what’s it like to make the mental switch – I know it’s been a while now, obviously – to make the mental switch from the vendor side of the table to the partner side? DAVE FREDERICKSON: Well, I have to say, 14 years ago at the end of this month is when I left HP. And I will say that every time I come to Discover, there’s a certain nostalgia. But also, I definitely miss it. There’s certain parts of it. I miss the big show. I miss the IP. I don’t necessarily miss having to go to 8,000 meetings over the course of however many [X] days, although I still do quite a few. But yeah, no, there’s definitely – look, and I’m pretty excited about how things are right now. So yeah, it’s definitely – I miss the show a little bit, even on the partner side. ROBERT DUTT: As I say, coming up on 14 years, how is your understanding of what HP is and what the relationship between HP and partners looks like evolved from what you knew when you were on the other side of the house? What did you not really fully appreciate about the HPE relationship until you were on the side of the table you’re on now? DAVE FREDERICKSON: Yeah, I think there’s a few things that kind of unpack that. One was just the ability on the partner side and the necessity for you to represent the client in a way that isn’t necessarily tied to a particular brand. And also the trust that, once earned, a client will put in you once you kind of make that shift over. And so I remember having a senior executive at one of the banks kind of say to me that, you know, “I never knew, you only had one flavor of Kool-Aid that you were drinking, so I know you were serving up to me every time.” Now, I appreciated the fact that I was coming in with maybe an unbiased, more of an unbiased view. So that’s probably the biggest one. The other one would be profitability and understanding the impact and the requirements. I mean, it was always there, right? I always said if you wanted loyalty from a channel partner, buy a dog. But really, profitability is the key to be able to continue sustainable relationships and partnerships. ROBERT DUTT: The Juniper acquisition closed less than a year ago. Clearly, it’s the structural story underneath everything we’re talking about here. The network is the foundation of AI, the Power of One, the unification of Aruba, Juniper, and the HPE compute and storage side of things. From Long View’s perspective, what has the acquisition changed in the conversation that you’re having with customers and the conversation that you’re having internally about the HPE relationship with Long View? DAVE FREDERICKSON: Yeah. So I mean, first off, it’s an interesting challenge it poses because we also have to have a very big, strong relationship with another strong networking organization. And I think that this has really opened, at least my eyes, and I get a whole new sense of kind of energy that’s also coming forward with it. And I think that HPE and Antonio has put together a set of pieces in this puzzle, if you want to call it, that he’s executing on. And with Juniper now, it’s a pretty powerful message. So I think there’s still a lot that we need to unpack and to understand a little bit more, but it’s an exciting time. And I think this positions them in a way that they couldn’t do it before. So yeah, it’s really, really interesting to see how the next number of months pan out. ROBERT DUTT: You were at the Partner Growth Summit yesterday. Real package of operational changes. That keynote, between 30-day quote validity finally, expanded credit lines, different financing options, new channel-only products in Private Cloud and Zerto. Is there anything in what was announced at Growth Summit that kind of really hit hard or made you say, finally, or this changes something for us specifically? What, among what was announced at Growth Summit, kind of hit most meaningful from where you are at Long View? DAVE FREDERICKSON: Yeah. So first off, I think the quote cycle that happened in January-ish timeframe, I’ve never seen anything like it in our industry. And I’ve told many clients this, like going to 7 or 14 days quote cycle, I mean, it’s unheard of. So to get back to a 30-day is pretty substantial. And by the way, the amount of rework that is required internally on us – so to me, that was probably a pain point to our operations teams because the amount of extra work that was required, the amount of times they had to do multiple quotes for the same piece of business or the same request for a client. I mean, it adds an astronomical amount of overhead. So to me, that was the one that said, OK, good. I don’t know if that’s signaling that there’s a correction that’s coming relative to the problems that we had. I suspect they’re still going to see escalating costs because I don’t think the work for data centres anywhere is anywhere near finished, by any stretch of the imagination. But yeah, I’d say that that was the big one. And look, the other financing options, we were exploring and educating customers because it did actually provide an ease, at least for those that could take advantage of it. Those that could do that. There was another angle – if they didn’t have the budget, they got a different shock all of a sudden, something escalated. Because it was an unheard of increase in prices. And it was across the industry. Hopefully, as you say, we don’t know for sure. But it seems like with HPE being willing to make that move, there’s at least some sense that, yes, things are probably going to rise, but in a more manageable, more predictable kind of fashion, so at least they can stand behind their pricing for a month. ROBERT DUTT: Yeah, I mean, annual budget cycles is really the reality of almost every IT organization. DAVE FREDERICKSON: So how do you deal with that? I hope so. ROBERT DUTT: On the partner branded services, it sounds like it’s basically HPE infrastructure support that you can deliver under your own brand. Seems like a big one for partners moving towards a services-led model. Something that you guys are thinking about. Is it something that you’re already planning? Is it something that meshes with how you look at services? DAVE FREDERICKSON: Yeah. So look, we’ve got a huge services business, right? Services make up pretty much half of our overall business. And managed services, professional services. So we will use and leverage the manufacturer branded where and when it makes sense. And there’s some cases where there’s clients that actually want that for whatever comfort level. But yeah, and being able to actually have us execute our own – I mean, our whole thing is about creating healthy lives and prosperous careers for our employees. That means we want to grow our employee base. So that means we want more services people, right? And we want more services to deliver. So anything that can help us by increasing and improving our utilization of our own people and the things we do, that’s good news. ROBERT DUTT: Antonio’s keynote theme was “architecting AI starts with your network.” Pretty deliberate position – not just “AI is everywhere,” but it’s a viewpoint specifically saying that the network is the thing that determines whether AI works or stays proof of concept. Does that match with what you’re seeing with customers right now? Where are you finding your customers are at in that journey, both in terms of the network as AI element and AI at large? DAVE FREDERICKSON: So I think that was – my guess would be that that was intentional to really emphasize the strategic importance of the Juniper and the integration of that into the overall strategy for HPE. I actually see it a little differently from a client perspective. It starts with data, right? So for us, our whole approach has been to focus around what’s that data state look like? What’s the maturation? And then from there, you start talking about governance, start talking about security. And so the elements of the network, at least that hasn’t been our core approach or play. As we learn more about HPE and the abilities now that they’re going to have, that will be interesting to see how that might shift. But I don’t think fundamentally it will, because I think it will still connect the dots down to security especially and then governance. But at the end of the day, you can only do great things with AI if you have a really good handle on your overall data state. ROBERT DUTT: I had a chance to chat with Jeremiah Jenson, lead of North America channel, the other day. And we were talking about Canadian partners and the Canadian market. And I used the term “conservative” to describe how Canadian businesses tend to approach technology. He used “intentional,” particularly around partners. You guys have always served enterprise mid-market customers who tend to want proven, production-ready solutions. How are you thinking about AI infrastructure conversations? Are you leaning into the HPE stack specifically as a foundation, or what’s the lead there? DAVE FREDERICKSON: So the AI conversation initially started around cloud with us, 100 percent. And again, I go back to because that also was the data story. And whether that be – for us, it’s primarily Azure. But then it’s also things like Databricks and that data architecture, and being able to kind of get that established first. So yeah, I think that from that perspective, it’s really more coming back on the data side. ROBERT DUTT: When you’re talking to customers, is the concept of tokenomics hitting? DAVE FREDERICKSON: Yeah, so right now, this is huge. We’re actually – and [Sarah Amalco – transcription likely garbled], who works for me as SVP here, and the team are putting together a whole education series and approach and an offering capability around FinOps and tokenization. This is actually going to be a potential slowdown or stall for many organizations, because all of a sudden, if there were other reasons why organizations were concerned about AI, i.e. governance and so forth, however escalating costs have always been – that’s something that comes up time and time again. And now the tokenization of that, and it’s all about predictability. And so it’s this cross between being able to measure ROI and getting the right level of ROI out for that, and then now can I predictably determine what the costs are going to be so I can determine whether or not that ROI matches, right? So I think that that’s going to – look, our first step will be building out and making sure that clients understand and are educated about it. It’s coming out fast. In a session with HPE and Microsoft just now, Azure Local, it’s an interesting value proposition around that because the fact is, OK, you’re not going to be tied to a tokenization situation. So that might be an interesting opportunity for organizations to take a look at as an option to be able to have more predictability around that. But yeah, it’s going to be big, especially in the next number of months. ROBERT DUTT: Stepping back to the bigger picture for a second, you’ve got the unusual vantage point we were talking about at the top of the episode for an event like this. Having been there at HP during the Compaq integration era when Discover was created, you’ve now watched the HP split into HP Inc. and HPE, you’ve seen the Juniper deal, the whole arc. What does the HPE of 2026 look like compared to where things were when you were on the vendor side? I guess I’m just kidding. Do you think that HPE has found its own identity at this point? DAVE FREDERICKSON: Yeah, I do. I think I use the term “mojo.” So pretty pleased. And look, it’s kind of gotten back to its core. When you look at the number of acquisitions that it’s made, even around compute with the Cray, for example, earlier with the Compaq side of it, nonstop – like there’s a deep, deep, deep legacy of compute capabilities and technology and experience that they’ve got. So that’s awesome. I think a lot of energy and effort around the storage side of that. And now with the networking front, it’s pretty powerful. So I would say that if I go back in time, when I was at HPE, it had the enterprise services, which was trying to play in a game that was a major global outsource play, which… and then there’s all kinds of different things that kind of happened. Autonomy – there’s a few beauties that would cause me to pause. But if I take a look at – if I go back in time to HPE, what’s core is, you think about HP Labs, core innovation. And so there were different times when, unfortunately, decisions were made that I think stripped away some of the investment opportunity that HP needed and was really deeply rooted in. And so it’s great to see that kind of come back. And then I think the acquisitions that it’s also made have now proven themselves out, whether it be with Aruba. Look, that’s been a successful – if you look at the profitability of HPE as an organization, it’s pretty telling, right, in terms of percentage of the profits that roll up from that. So look, Antonio, smart man for sure, 100 percent. I think he’s had the vision. And I think it’s the pieces of the investment so now starting to come together. ROBERT DUTT: Last one for me. What does Long View want to walk away from a week like this having accomplished? Whether it’s a conversation, a relationship, a strategy session – what does a successful Discover look like to you? DAVE FREDERICKSON: Well, I don’t hit the table, so I’ll ignore the gambling. But no, I think, look, we’ve reignited. We’ve had a really strong relationship with HPE for a number of years now. But I’d say that I think the better years are ahead of us to come. And so I think just kind of getting reconnected, it’s good to see there’s still a number of people that I know and love very closely in the organization. And so I think if nothing else, it’s one: to take back some of the key things to make sure that our organization understands strategically where they’re going to play and why and how it would fit our next number of years in terms of alignment. So that’s going to be an important one for me to bring back to the rest of the executive team, and then to make sure from my role in alliances, to make sure that we understand how that underpins our strategy and go-to-market with our core offerings. ROBERT DUTT: That’s it. All right, Dave, I appreciate you taking the time once again. Great catching up. DAVE FREDERICKSON: Always good, Robert. Thank you. ROBERT DUTT: There you have it, Dave Frederickson from Long View Systems. I’d like to thank Dave for his time on this one. Running into him at the airport at the start of the week turned out to be a very happy accident. And thanks for listening and following along with our Discover coverage. Full slate at ChannelBuzz.ca. You can find our HPE Discover 2026 news hub right in the top nav bar. A few things worth taking away from that conversation. The return to 30-day quote validity out of the Partner Growth Summit is a bigger deal than it might look on paper. Dave gave us a real window into what short quote cycles actually cost partner ops teams – the rework, the multiple quotes for the same piece of business, the overhead. Now that HPE is stepping back from that, it signals something. And keep an eye on tokenomics. Dave flagged it as the friction point that’s coming fast for customers trying to build a real AI business case. The cost predictability problem is real, and Long View is already standing up education programs around it. The Azure Local angle that he flagged at the end around predictability versus consumption-based billing is worth watching as that conversation develops. And the data-first framing on AI is worth noting. Long View is having those conversations at the data and governance layer first. The network’s part of the picture, but it’s not the starting point from where Dave sits. If you’re enjoying the show, please do follow us or subscribe in whatever app you use.

A butterfly farm in Aruba. A chrysalis full of goo. And one strange biological detail scientists call ""imaginal cells"" — the secret blueprint hidden inside the dissolving caterpillar that decides what it becomes next. Lance Wallnau says the same hidden blueprint is sitting inside YOU right now — and most believers will die without ever activating it. What if the ""stuck"" season you're in isn't a setback... but a cocoon? Lance unpacks Convergence Theory and Constraint Theory — the behavioral science (developed by Israeli physicist Eliyahu Goldratt) that explains why 80% of called people never reach the assignment God put them on earth to fulfill. And what are the 3 hidden numbers behind every $100 million operator — and the master teacher Jesus modeled? In this episode: • The ""imaginal cell"" revelation God showed Lance at a butterfly farm — and why you can't fly until you find the right people to agree with what's inside you • The 4 phases of convergence: Sovereign Foundation → Spiritual Formation → Gift Discovery → Life Maturing → Convergence (and why most ministries crash in stage 4) • The Doldrums — the spiritual ""no wind"" zone that breaks 80% of called leaders • Why your CONSTRAINT — not your gifting — is what's actually capping your altitude (the sandbag principle) • The 93% / 80% / 50% formula behind every $100M CEO — and why Trump operates exactly this way (most people totally misread him) • The Sergius Paulus pattern: why Paul's FIRST convert after being sent out by the Holy Spirit was a Roman political ruler — and what that means for the seven mountains mandate today • The ""5 Questions From Mastery"" download Lance got during a massage in the Caribbean — and why wisdom isn't the answer, it's the question • Why a 95%+ achievement drive will actually destroy you (and how God forces the Sabbath reset) This isn't motivational. This is the prophetic + behavioral data that explains why some believers fly and most never leave the chrysalis.

What if your birth chart could tell you where you're most likely to thrive?

The first half of the WorldSBK season is in the books and Steve and Gordo get you up to date with the latest news from inside the paddock as Nicolo Bulega continues his relentless drive to a first Superbike title. The Italian is still perfect for 2026 with 18 wins from 18 starts but Sunday's Superpole Race saw him pushed harder than at any point thus far. His harder rear tyre proved the difference maker but, as ever, Bulega found a way to win. What must Iker Lecuona be thinking? The Spainard, 15 times a runner-up finisher this year, is hunting for his first WorldSBK victory. He's hurting too because he knows how close he keeps coming to that success. His reward for his hard work will be seen this weekend in MotoGP where he'll replace Alex Marquez. Outside of the Aruba.it Ducati riders there was plenty to talk about but Gordo's conversations with Tommy Bridewell have certainly left an impression. The Englishman had his best finish of the season, fifth position in Race 1, and is making the most out of his Ducati V4R to reap some good results.

How is AI forcing our networks to change? This week, Technology Now is diving into the world of network architecture and asking how AI is forcing us to rethink what it looks like. We ask how AI requirements are different to regular computing, we explore why this makes cacheing obsolete, and we ask how our networks are going to continue changing into the future to cope with the demands of our new AI native world. AE Natarajan, SVP, general Manager for Routing Infrastructure Solutions, HPE networking, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About AE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ae-natarajan-b79202/

In May 2005, eighteen-year-old Natalee Holloway vanished during a graduation trip to Aruba — a disappearance that would become one of the most infamous true crime cases in modern history.What began as a carefree senior trip quickly spiraled into an international media frenzy involving shifting stories, failed investigations, public obsession, and nearly two decades of unanswered questions surrounding Joran van der Sloot.But beneath the headlines and speculation was a real young woman whose life had barely begun.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom examines the investigation, the media pressure that shaped the case, the emotional devastation of ambiguous loss, and the 2023 confession that finally changed everything. More importantly, this episode restores focus to Natalee herself — the daughter, friend, student, and teenager at the center of a story the world too often turned into mythology.This episode discusses:The Aruba disappearance timelineThe initial investigation and arrestsMedia frenzy and “missing white woman syndrome”Years of false confessions and dead endsThe federal extortion caseBeth Holloway's fight for answersNatalee Holloway's lasting legacyWhen Killers Get Caught is a true crime podcast focused on the people, psychology, and moments behind violent crimes — and what happens when the darkness finally meets the light.Follow and join the conversation:

Episode 171 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, hosted by Angie Sparks and Cameron Laufer, opens with a practical community highlight: a traveler facing a broken in-flight entertainment system on a United Premium Plus flight. The discussion reinforces that while compensation isn't guaranteed, notifying a flight attendant can often result in goodwill gestures like bonus points. The hosts then run through a packed news segment, including Chase transfer bonuses to Flying Blue and Marriott, an elevated 150,000-point sign-up bonus for the Sapphire Reserve, and new restrictions around Sapphire card eligibility. They also cover new IHG credit card offers, Flying Blue Promo Rewards for discounted domestic routes, and a standout Amex-to-Hilton transfer bonus of 20%, setting the stage for the episode's main focus.Angie and Cameron share personal updates on credit card strategies and upcoming travel, highlighting the constant balancing act of hitting minimum spend, maximizing free night certificates, and navigating issuer rules like Chase's 5/24. Angie details several trips in progress—including Morocco, Ireland, and domestic travel—while optimizing points, credits, and cash savings (like rebooking a rental car for significant savings). Cameron notes upcoming plans to Aruba and possibly Everest Base Camp, alongside ongoing points-earning strategies.The main topic dives into the best Hilton redemptions, with a focus on maximizing value through free night certificates, transfer bonuses, and strategic point usage. Angie highlights outsized value at luxury properties, including SLH hotels charging upwards of $2,000 per night, while Cameron breaks down real-world redemption comparisons showing how transferring Amex points (especially with bonuses) or even buying Hilton points can yield strong value—often 2–3 cents per point equivalent. The episode wraps with a tip of the week encouraging listeners to take advantage of transfer bonuses for programs they regularly use and a simple troubleshooting trick: switching browsers can resolve common issues like errors when transferring Avios between accounts.Episode Links:Chase to Flying Blue Transfer BonusChase to Marriott Transfer BonusNew Sapphire Reserve BonusElevated IHG Card BonusesFlying Blue May Promo AwardsAmex to Hilton Transfer BonusWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Spring 2026 Meetup in Phoenix now. award.travel/phx2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Send us Fan MailHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast; I am delighted to welcome Josianne Jocelyn, Travel With Josianne. Josianne worked for several years for different travel agencies. Josianne told me, “I was born in Haiti. I came to the US 40 years ago. I come from a family of 6 children (like me). I lived in Brooklyn through high school. (Like me, well, through middle school). After earning a bachelor's degree, I knew working in the Travel industry is what I wanted to do.  My first trip given to me by the agency was a cruise on the Big Red Boat, and I realized that I loved cruising.  I got married and gave birth to twin girls. When I moved to New Jersey several years later, I had to work part time, because I was the one taking care of the kids.  2020 change everything. I started to watch YouTube travel videos. Someone told me I should start a YouTube channel, and I did.  I did not know how hard it would be. I have been traveling the Caribbean for years by land and sea. Celebrity and Royal are my favorite cruise lines. On Royal I have been on the Icon, Oasis, Quantum and Freedom classes. I've been cruising Celebrity for 30 years. Now I'm in love with the Edge Class. I do travel by land. My favorite Caribbean Islands to go to and spend a week with the family are Aruba, Grand Cayman, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos, and Curacao. My favorite all-inclusive is Sandals, having been to Sandals Montego Bay, Royal Caribbean, Curacao, and Regency Le Toc St Lucia.” Do you have a dream car?

A butterfly farm in Aruba. A chrysalis full of goo. And one strange biological detail scientists call "imaginal cells" — the secret blueprint hidden inside the dissolving caterpillar that decides what it becomes next. Lance Wallnau says the same hidden blueprint is sitting inside YOU right now — and most believers will die without ever activating it. What if the "stuck" season you're in isn't a setback... but a cocoon? Lance unpacks Convergence Theory and Constraint Theory — the behavioral science (developed by Israeli physicist Eliyahu Goldratt) that explains why 80% of called people never reach the assignment God put them on earth to fulfill. And what are the 3 hidden numbers behind every $100 million operator — and the master teacher Jesus modeled? In this episode: • The "imaginal cell" revelation God showed Lance at a butterfly farm — and why you can't fly until you find the right people to agree with what's inside you • The 4 phases of convergence: Sovereign Foundation → Spiritual Formation → Gift Discovery → Life Maturing → Convergence (and why most ministries crash in stage 4) • The Doldrums — the spiritual "no wind" zone that breaks 80% of called leaders • Why your CONSTRAINT — not your gifting — is what's actually capping your altitude (the sandbag principle) • The 93% / 80% / 50% formula behind every $100M CEO — and why Trump operates exactly this way (most people totally misread him) • The Sergius Paulus pattern: why Paul's FIRST convert after being sent out by the Holy Spirit was a Roman political ruler — and what that means for the seven mountains mandate today • The "5 Questions From Mastery" download Lance got during a massage in the Caribbean — and why wisdom isn't the answer, it's the question • Why a 95%+ achievement drive will actually destroy you (and how God forces the Sabbath reset) This isn't motivational. This is the prophetic + behavioral data that explains why some believers fly and most never leave the chrysalis.

LISTEN WITHOUT ADS AT www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast On this Thursday Dopey Greatest Hits episode, Dave opens the show reacting to angry Spotify comments from the previous Amanda de Cadenet episode, joking that controversy is good for engagement. He sets the table for one of his favorite classic episodes: a deep and unforgettable interview with legendary harmonica player Jason Ricci. Before getting there, Dave gives listeners a chaotic snapshot of life at home while Linda is away in Aruba—solo parenting, eating Ralph's ices, putting Susan to bed, cleaning the backyard with Heart Attack Doug, tossing an old rusted grill, and trying to make the house look better before Linda returns. Dave then reads a truly wild listener email from “Stan the Man from London,” describing a multi-day relapse involving forgotten luggage, shooting cocaine in a government facility bathroom, fleeing authorities, drinking in pubs, attending his first orgy, smoking meth, doing booty-bumped MDMA, watching bodies swing from the ceiling, and taking mystery LSD gummies to cope with the scene. Dave begs listeners to send in more orgy stories and jokes that if people are sitting on orgy stories and not sending them in, they're wasting everyone's time. He then reads Spotify comments from last week's Michael Imperioli episode. Listeners praise the interview, discuss whether non-addict guests belong on Dopey, mention recovery movies to watch while detoxing, mourn the death of beloved former guest Bill Blaber, and compare Imperioli's appearance to classic Dopey stories like the water tower episode. Dave also plugs Patreon, promises stickers to commenters, and reads Patreon comments about Bill Blaber, Sopranos fandom, and ideas for new podcasts. Dave introduces the throwback interview with Jason Ricci, one of the greatest harmonica players alive. Jason immediately proves to be a classic Dopey guest: hilarious, intense, wildly talented, and deeply damaged. He tells Dave about growing up in Maine with severe family dysfunction. His father ran the notorious behavior-modification program Elan, later the subject of the documentary The Last Stop. Jason describes his father as a brilliant but dangerous alcoholic/addict. His mother suffered from serious untreated mental illness and subjected Jason to horrifying physical abuse, bizarre religious episodes, and chaos throughout childhood. Jason says music became his escape. He first got serious about harmonica after seeing James Cotton perform live and witnessing the raw emotional power of blues music. Though he originally came from punk/skateboard culture and resisted blues, Cotton changed everything. Jason became obsessed with mastering the instrument and started getting mentored by older musicians. As a teenager he was kicked out of his house, became homeless, drifted through deadhead apartments and baseball dugouts, and eventually reconnected with his estranged father, who answered the door in a bathrobe with a gun and immediately asked if Jason knew how to roll a joint. Jason ended up briefly living near Elan, then moved to Boise, Idaho to study forestry before dropping out once music took over his life. In Boise he earned his stripes in a local blues scene where older musicians forced him to learn Little Walter songs before letting him play. He embraced LSD, weed, and beatnik philosophy, believing he was a spiritually advanced seeker while sharpening his craft. He then moved to Memphis to pursue blues seriously. That's where the Dopey really kicks in. Jason started using cocaine, then crack, and says smoking crack was one of the most instantly seductive experiences of his life. He recounts how quickly everything changed—money disappearing, priorities collapsing, and life spinning out of control. He also talks openly about his sexuality, his first gay experiences, and the confusion of navigating identity while falling deeper into addiction. The interview blends music obsession, childhood trauma, sexuality, homelessness, genius-level talent, and classic Dopey-level depravity. Jason comes off as both hilarious and heartbreakingly honest, while Dave nerds out over harmonica history and recognizes a fellow obsessive. It becomes one of those Dopey episodes where darkness, redemption, absurdity, and art all collide. SERIOUS DOPEY BUSINESS ON THIS HADCORE TRULY DOPEY EPISODE OF DOPEY'S GREATEST HITS!
