Are you still guessing which AI tool is actually best for business?If you've been feeling overwhelmed by the sea of tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini... and more on the horizon), you're not alone. Most business leaders default to ChatGPT because it's familiar — but is it really the right choice for strategy, research, or data visualization?In this milestone 200th episode, Isar Meitis teams up with AI strategist and fractional CMO Liza Adams to run a real side-by-side comparison of the top three AI assistants: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. No fluff — just a head-to-head test with real use cases, visual outputs, and verdicts that could save you hours and serious money.

In this solo episode, Tina Tower dives deep into the real-world strategies she uses to conquer procrastination, stay motivated, and take unstoppable action in her business and life. Tina offers 10 actionable techniques that are practical and proven, highlighting that success often comes down to consistent action—even when the feeling isn't there. Whether you're building a course, growing a digital business, or just trying to stay on track with your goals, this episode is packed with tangible tips to help you get out of your head, stop overthinking, and actually get things DONE. Key Topics Covered: Break Big Tasks Down: Tackle overwhelm by breaking large projects into bite-sized, actionable chunks. Use project management tools like Monday.com to list the small steps and work through them one at a time for a confidence boost. Pomodoro Timer Technique: Focus in short, timed sprints for 25 minutes followed by a 5-minute break. This helps train your brain to focus, especially if you struggle with attention or frequently get distracted. Block Distractions: Use apps like Freedom or Opal to block social media, emails, and other time-sapping distractions so you can stay laser-focused on the task at hand. Stay Organized with Project Management: Tools like Monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, and Trello can systemize your workflow, help you brain dump ideas, and prioritize work so you know exactly what to focus on. Set Clear Work Windows: Time block your day and give yourself realistic, defined periods to work. Setting boundaries (like strict start and end times or sprinting to deadlines) builds urgency and momentum. Just Start—for 10 Minutes: Commit to working on tough tasks for just 10 minutes. Action often creates motivation; once you get started, you're more likely to find your flow and keep going. Reward Yourself: Celebrate milestones, even small ones! Whether it's a treat, a walk, or a bigger reward after a big project, pairing achievements with positive rewards builds self-trust and motivation. Done is Better Than Perfect: Don't let perfectionism become procrastination. Aim for excellence, but know when 80-90% is good enough to launch—improvements can come later! Visualize Success: Imagine your project, launch, or event completed successfully. Visualization transforms overwhelm into clarity and gives you an emotional boost to follow through. Celebrate Your Wins: Mark every achievement, no matter the size. Regularly acknowledging your wins (publicly or privately) keeps you energized and builds confidence. Tina reminds listeners that procrastination is normal and doesn't mean you're lazy or broken—you may just need better systems or clearer motivation. She encourages you to try any (or all!) of these strategies today. Don't let procrastination hold you back from building your dream business and life. The world needs what you have to offer!   Links & Resources: Monday.com Pomodoro Timer (free software) Freedom App Opal App   Where to find Tina: Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tina_tower/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@herempirebuilder

Frieda Möcker, Head of People & Culture at Sastrify, joined us on The Modern People Leader. We talked about the first steps she took to treat HR more like a product, how her team does sprint planning, and why she prefers “NCTs” over OKRs.---- Sponsor Links:

Research by productivity software provider Asana showed that 70% of knowledge workers experienced burnout in 2021. Now we've talked about the symptoms of burnout before on Do you Really Know. It's typically characterised by physical and emotional exhaustion at work, and considered a psychiatric condition. But in recent years, the younger generation has been reshaping workplace norms. Many young workers see personal fulfilment as more important than pay when it comes to their jobs. And that's led to phenomenons like the Great Resignation, which saw record numbers of people quit for that very reason. What's the difference between a brownout and a burnout then? Does finding meaning at work really matter? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We're thrilled to host Diana Chapman for our final episode of Season 10. A highly sought-after and trusted advisor, in her own words, Diana is an environmentalist at heart.  Diana came to the Hoffman Process in July 2024 with one desire. She'd already done a lot of personal growth work. She'd even sent many people to Hoffman. But it wasn't until this one desire became clear to her that she decided to go through the Process. Diana realized just how much creative energy she was spending each day on judging her body. Although she'd already made peace with her parents, Diana knew her judgment came from her parents' patterns. She wondered if the Hoffman Process could help, and it did. Diana shares that she often uses light-heartedness to work with her patterns. While that has worked well for her for some time, in the end, Diana has found that heartbreak is often necessary to transform some patterns. She shares that she's found liberation in a broken heart. In the work Diana does with teams and individuals, she leads them to work with the intelligence of the body and heart. She speaks of the sensuality of the body and how she wants to experience more heaven on earth, and guides others to experience this, too. We hope you enjoy this episode with Diana and Drew. Thank you for tuning in to season 10 of Love's Everyday Radius. We'll be back in August for season 11. More about Diana Chapman: Diana is a highly sought-after and trusted advisor, celebrated for her ability to deliver swift, impactful results while driving sustainable change. She has guided over a thousand CEOs and hundreds of executive teams. Renowned clients—from Genentech to Asana—praise her unique blend of clarity, compassion, boldness, and playfulness. As a facilitator for the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), Diana works with forums and chapters worldwide. Diana is a co-founder of The Conscious Leadership Group and co-author of the widely acclaimed book The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. She's helped ignite a movement redefining what leadership looks like when it's rooted in awareness, integrity, and deep presence. Be on the lookout for Diana's new book, No Drama Teams, in 2027. She teaches at Stanford and with the Kauffman Fellows, and has been a featured speaker on stages such as TEDx, Wisdom 2.0, and Conscious Company Media. When she's not guiding top leaders, Diana's living the good life on her ranch in Aptos, California. Find out more about Diana here and follow her on LinkedIn.

Running a small nonprofit often means juggling strategy, people, programs, and inbox chaos, all while making what feels like a million decisions a day. If you've ever felt stuck between leading and just trying to keep up, this episode is for you. In this candid and insightful conversation, Maria chats with returning guest Veronica LaFemina about one of the most overlooked pain points in nonprofit life: how decisions are made, delegated, and communicated. From messy inboxes to that nagging feeling of "did I already assign this?"- Veronica offers both clarity and real tools to help leaders make better decisions, faster. 

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, Gui Costin sits down with Danielle Brown, founder and CEO of Altriarch, for a powerful conversation on strategy, leadership, and building a differentiated private credit platform. With 25 years in alternatives and a background that spans diligence, investing, and operations—including key roles at Dyal Capital Partners and Wachovia—Danielle shares how Altriarch was designed from the ground up to reflect the best practices (and lessons learned) from across the asset management industry.After witnessing firsthand how firms succeed—or falter—through her work with GPs at Dyal, Danielle committed to building a firm defined by equity ownership, clear communication, and strategic focus. Every Altriarch team member becomes an equity holder after one year, creating alignment and encouraging a culture of ownership.Danielle and her partner Meghan Brook launched Altriarch in 2021 with a distinct strategy: lending to specialty finance companies, including factoring and niche private credit. These borrowers often face challenges securing capital from traditional banks due to complexity and collateral structures. Altriarch seeks to fill that gaps, offering senior secured, subordinated, or co-investment solutions. The firm's investment process is operationally intensive, involving weekly borrower communication and real-time collateral monitoring by dedicated investment and ops teams.The distribution approach reflects the firm's strategic edge. Danielle shares how Altriarch runs an education-first sales process, acknowledging the complexity of their offering. Each prospective investor's process is organized into a trackable project—tracked in Asana, managed through Affinity CRM, and supported by customized content. Because most LPs are unfamiliar with accounts receivable-backed credit, Danielle emphasizes why she thinks deep diligence preparation and proactive investor education as keys to closing. Her team meets weekly to review top-priority relationships and brainstorm ways to re-engage leads with meaningful insights.Danielle also reflects on her leadership evolution—initially struggling to relinquish control before realizing that empowering her team led to better results. She fosters autonomy, encourages smart risk-taking, and supports her team through questions and coaching, not micromanagement.To young professionals, she advises: “educate, don't sell,” and always “keep the ball in your court”—follow up with accountability and intention. Her final insight: pattern recognition matters in sales, and a few missteps in a meeting can derail a deal, so preparation is essential.This episode is a blueprint for leading with clarity, building trust, and executing with depth in the complex world of private credit.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

Jay walks listeners through how Trello has become the backbone of Pierson's documentation and digital workflow system—replacing binders, Dropbox links, and scattered storage with an integrated, accessible, and collaborative project management setup. Andrew offers a comparison with Asana and how they track product development through value/difficulty filters.Then the episode shifts toward lean factory layout, as Andrew details a recent consultation that helped him rethink mold storage, tool access, and workspace flow. The episode wraps with a conversation about leadership—highlighting how small process frustrations, when voiced and owned by proactive team members, can lead to high-impact improvements.Next up is episode 100!

And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here.   Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice.   And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Dean Mathews, the hardest thing in growing a small business is shifting from doing everything yourself to empowering others by building systems and trusting your team. He highlights the importance of moving from working in the business to working on the business, emphasizing that true growth comes from hiring the right people, clearly defining roles, and creating an operating structure that allows others to thrive. You can't scale alone, and recognizing that earlier can make a significant difference. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Dean Mathews' favorite business book that has helped him the most is Scaling People by Claire Hughes Johnson. He found it especially valuable because it offers practical frameworks and structures for growing teams and building an internal operating system. The book resonated with him as it closely aligned with the challenges he faced while scaling OnTheClock, particularly around leadership, processes, and team development. He even conducted a book club at work based on it, applying its lessons to enhance how his company operates. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Dean Mathews recommends several great podcasts and online learning resources to help grow a small business, especially in the SaaS space. His top pick is the SaaStr Podcast, which features insights from successful SaaS founders and is packed with growth strategies. He also expressed strong interest in exploring content by Alex Hormozi, particularly his books $100M Offers and $100M Leads, and his podcast focused on data-driven business scaling. Additionally, Built to Sell Radio by John Warrillow was recommended for its focus on recurring revenue and building sellable businesses, while Nathan Latka's Podcast was noted for its sharp focus on SaaS metrics like ARR, MRR, CAC, and churn—making it a valuable listen for any growth-minded founder. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Dean Mathews recommends using a project management tool like Asana to grow a small business, as it helps teams stay organized, track progress, and manage both projects and processes effectively. He believes every business boils down to three core elements—people, projects, and processes—and Asana helps align them in a structured way. Additionally, he highlights creating an internal operating system (built in tools like Google Slides), which outlines company values, goals, job roles, meeting structures, and key metrics. Together, these tools support scalable growth and team alignment. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Dean Mathews' advice to himself on day one of starting out in business would be to “buckle in, you're in for a ride” and to understand early on that scaling a business is all about people. He emphasizes that success doesn't come from doing everything yourself, but from hiring the right people, trusting them, and building systems that empower them to thrive. He reflects that if he had learned earlier how to let go of control and focus on developing others, his business could have grown even faster. Surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you in their areas is key to building something truly sustainable.

Brand teams are obsessed with differentiation, but what if distinctiveness is the real power move? And while you're chasing loyalty, your competitors are winning with reach.In this episode, Matt Maynard, Asana's Head of Brand and Advertising, joins the show to challenge the dogmas of B2B brand strategy. From calling out the cult of rebrands to exposing the limits of loyalty and the illusion of celebrity endorsements, Matt lays out a new playbook rooted in evidence. He unpacks how real brand growth comes from building mental availability, not just big ideas, and why most marketers still mistake folklore for fact.We dive into:Why most B2B brand teams are optimizing for creativity instead of outcomesThe distinctiveness vs. differentiation smackdown (and why it matters more than ever)How AI is the ultimate sparring partner—not just a creative sidekickWhy brand characters beat celebrities in the long game of memoryHow Asana is automating workflows to bring brand science into every touchpoint

When a show features planners talking about brands they've never worked on, you know it's gonna be fun, or at the very least weird. This month's On the Spot features two brands that appear to be headed in opposite directions: Tesla & Poppi. Guest panelists Ali Chastain, GSD at The Martin Agency and Matt Maynard, Head of Brand at Asana, join our regular panel of misfits. Thanks to System1 and Tracksuit for making this series possible. 

A moderate one with lots of twists, great for stiff lower backs. 

Most B2B marketers completely misunderstand what brand advertising is supposed to do. They conflate brand narrative with brand advertising, trying to make one execution do both jobs. This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob are joined by Matt Maynard, VP of Global Brand and Advertising at Asana. Matt shares how he went from journalism to marketing thought leadership without taking a single marketing class. He digs into the dangerous defaults B2B marketers fall into, from pipeline obsession to customer story overuse. Plus, learn why brand advertising and brand narrative are two completely different things that most companies wrongly conflate. Topics covered: [02:00] Matt's journey from journalism to self-taught marketer[08:00] Why brand marketing is having an identity crisis in B2B[13:00] Translating marketing effectiveness theory into practice[18:00] Managing product-led and sales-led growth motions[22:00] Reframing the 95-5 rule as increasing your odds[25:00] What "responsible reach" means for brand marketing[31:00] Why customer stories don't belong in brand advertising[35:00] The difference between brand narrative and brand advertising  To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources: 2024 MarketingWeek Article: https://www.marketingweek.com/ritson-applicable-b2b-marketing/Matt Maynard's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattmaynard/Asana: https://asana.com/ Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

We've talked about what the eight limbs of yoga are and where they came from (if you missed that episode just scroll a few back) but what is each limb's practical, energetic, and spiritual significance in modern life? From the ethical and personal observances of Yama and Niyama, respectively, to the physical aspects of Asana, the breath control of Pranayama, and the mental focus of Dharana. And of course how it all culminates in the exploration of Dhyana and Samadhi. The Eight Limbs are here to help you cut through the noise and come back to what really matters, this episode will explain how. Listen and learn:

"I am really in awe of how well everything functions within this business. It's not chaotic in any capacity."This was the message I received from my newest team member and I can tell you, that lack of chaos she feels is very, very intentional. Running a business without physical walls comes with its own set of challenges. The absence of spontaneous coffee chats and in-person energy means we need to be even more deliberate about how we create structure and connection. Today, I'm sharing my top leadership and team tips that have transformed Swift Ventures from a potentially chaotic virtual space into what my team member called a "beautifully well-oiled business."Intention Over ChaosEvery Sunday night, I set aside 30 minutes to map out the week ahead. This isn't just about listing tasks – it's about creating mental space to lead from the front foot rather than constantly playing catch-up.A calm business is a regulated business. Think about how you show up as a leader. Are you bringing steady, grounded energy or frantic, reactive vibes? The difference ripples through your entire team. Systems on SystemsHearing someone describe my business as "well-oiled" brings me genuine joy. Not because I'm obsessed with perfection, but because those systems represent freedom – both for me, my team and my clients.Every process in our business lives in Asana, creating a backbone that supports our creativity rather than stifling it. From content creation to client onboarding, we have systems for everything. This doesn't mean we are rigid, but more that our systems provide a framework that allows us to evolve and grow.The Art of Virtual ConnectionAs a leader, everything comes back to me. So when something goes wrong in my business, I don't point the finger and blame. I've been very intentional to create a culture where we ask the question, “ what do we need to do here so that this doesn't happen again?”Our Slack channels have become our virtual hallways – spaces where ideas flow, celebrations happen, and yes, sometimes silly GIFs are shared. With a team working in three different time zones, we rely heavily on really clear communication through Slack so that everyone knows exactly what is happening.Embracing Mistakes With GraceA business that functions well is one where people don't arrive feeling dysregulated or fearful of making mistakes. We hold high standards at Swift Ventures, but we pair them with high support.When someone messes up – including me – we follow a simple approach: apologise, own it, call it out, and move forward. No dramatic reactions, no lingering tension. Just acknowledgment, learning, and progress.What I've learned through building this virtual team is that exceptional leadership often reveals itself in the smallest moments – how you respond to a mistake, how attentively you listen, how clearly you communicate your vision. These seemingly minor interactions create the foundation for everything else.Connect with Ellie: Apply for the Swiftmind Scaled Mastermind (the ONLY chance to be coached by me in 2025): https://ellieswift.com/mastermind Website:         https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:     @elliehswiftFacebook Group:     www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

Are you stuck in a cycle of trying out new project management tools—Trello, Asana, Notion—only to abandon them weeks later? You're not alone. No tool will save your writing or publication pipeline if you haven't first developed core project management skills. In this episode, I explain why building project management skills must come before adopting a project management tool. If you're feeling overwhelmed with your writing tasks, due dates, or collaborative projects, it's not because you haven't found the “right” app—it's because foundational skills like discernment and time management aren't fully developed yet. Before you invest energy (and money) in the latest software, you need clarity on how you work and how to support your writing with solid workflows. Tune in to learn how to build the academic project management skills that will advance your writing and publication projects, allowing you to select a project management tool that works with you, not against you.

A hippy and shouldery flow tonight with a wonderfully smooth vibe. 

This week we talk about the Marshall Plan, standardization, and USB.We also discuss artificial intelligence, Anthropic, and protocols.Recommended Book: Fuzz by Mary RoachTranscriptIn the wake of WWII, the US government implemented the European Recovery Program, more commonly known as the Marshall Plan, to help Western Europe recover from a conflict that had devastated the afflicted countries' populations, infrastructure, and economies.It kicked off in April of 1948, and though it was replaced by a successor program, the Mutual Security Act, just three years later in 1951—which was similar to the Marshall Plan, but which had a more militant, anti-communism bent, the idea being to keep the Soviets from expanding their influence across the continent and around the world—the general goal of both programs was similar: the US was in pretty good shape, post-war, and in fact by waiting to enter as long as it did, and by becoming the arsenal of the Allied side in the conflict, its economy was flourishing, its manufacturing base was all revved up and needed something to do with all the extra output capacity it had available, all the resources committed to producing hardware and food and so on, so by sharing these resources with allies, by basically just giving a bunch of money and assets and infrastructural necessities to these European governments, the US could get everybody on side, bulwarked against the Soviet Union's counterinfluence, at a moment in which these governments were otherwise prone to that influence; because they were suffering and weaker than usual, and thus, if the Soviets came in with the right offer, or with enough guns, they could conceivably grab a lot of support and even territory. So it was considered to be in everyone's best interest, those who wanted to keep the Soviet Union from expanding, at least, to get Europe back on its feet, posthaste.So this program, and its successor program, were highly influential during this period, and it's generally considered to be one of the better things the US government has done for the world, as while there were clear anti-Soviet incentives at play, it was also a relatively hands-off, large-scale give-away that favorably compared with the Soviets' more demanding and less generous version of the same.One interesting side effect of the Marshall Plan is that because US manufacturers were sending so much stuff to these foreign ports, their machines and screws and lumber used to rebuild entire cities across Europe, the types of machines and screws and lumber, which were the standard models of each in the US, but many of which were foreign to Europe at the time, became the de facto standard in some of these European cities, as well.Such standards aren't always the best of all possible options, sometimes they stick around long past their period of ideal utility, and they don't always stick, but the standards and protocols within an industry or technology do tend to shape that industry or technology's trajectory for decades into the future, as has been the case with many Marshall Plan-era US standards that rapidly spread around the world as a result of these giveaways.And standards and protocols are what I'd like to talk about today. In particular a new protocol that seems primed to shape the path today's AI tools are taking.—Today's artificial intelligence, or AI, which is an ill-defined type of software that generally refers to applications capable of doing vaguely human-like things, like producing text and images, but also somewhat superhuman things, like working with large data-sets and bringing meaning to them, are developing rapidly, becoming more potent and capable seemingly every day.This period of AI development has been in the works for decades, and the technologies required to make the current batch of generative AI tools—the type that makes stuff based on libraries of training data, deriving patterns from that data and then coming up with new stuff based on the prompting of human users—were originally developed in the 1970s, but the transformer, which was a fresh approach to what's called deep learning architectures, was first proposed in 2017 by a researcher at Google, and that led to the development of the generative pre-trained transformer, or GPT, in 2018.The average non-tech-world person probably started to hear about this generation of AI tools a few years later, maybe when the first transformer-based voice and image tools started popping up around the internet, mostly as novelties, or even more likely in late-2022 when OpenAI released the first version of ChatGPT, a generative AI system attached to a chatbot interface, which made these sorts of tools more accessible to the average person.Since then, there's been a wave of investment and interest in AI tools, and we've reached a point where the seemingly obvious next-step is removing humans from the loop in more AI-related processes.What that means in practice is that while today these tools require human prompting for most of what they do—you have to ask an AI for a specific image, then ask it to refine that image in order to customize it for your intended use-case, for instance—it's possible to have AI do more things on their own, working from broader instructions to refine their creations themselves over multiple steps and longer periods of time.So rather than chatting with an AI to come up with a marketing plan for your business, prompting it dozens or hundreds of times to refine the sales copy, the logo, the images for the website, the code for the website, and so on, you might tell an AI tool that you're building a business that does X and ask it to spin up all the assets that you need. From there, the AI might research what a new business in that industry requires, make all the assets you need for it, go back and tweak all those assets based on feedback from other AI tools, and then deploy those assets for you on web hosting services, social media accounts, and the like.It's possible that at some point these tools could become so capable in this regard that humans won't need to be involved at all, even for the initial ideation. You could ask an AI what sorts of businesses make sense at the moment, and tell it to build you a dozen minimum viable products for those businesses, and then ask it to run those businesses for you—completely hands off, except for the expressing your wishes part, almost like you're working with a digital genie.At the moment, components of that potential future are possible, but one of the main things standing in the way is that AI systems largely aren't agentic enough, which in this context means they need a lot of hand-holding for things that a human being would be capable of doing, but which they largely, with rare exceptions, aren't yet, and they often don't have the permission or ability to interact with other tools required to do that kind of building—and that includes things like the ability to create a business account on Shopify, but also the ability to access and handle money, which would be required to set up business and bank accounts, to receive money from customers, and so on.This is changing at a rapid pace, and more companies are making their offerings accessible to specific AI tools; Shopify has deployed its own cluster of internal AI systems, for instance, meant to manage various aspects of a business its customers perch on its platform.What's missing right now, though, is a unifying scaffolding that allows these services and assets and systems to all play nice with each other.And that's the issue the Model Context Protocol is meant to address.The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a standard developed by AI company Anthropic, and it's open and designed to be universal. The company intends for it to be the mycelium that connects large language model-based AI to all sorts of data and tools and other systems, a bit like the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, allows data on the web to be used and shared and processed, universally, in a standardized way, and to dip back into the world of physical objects, how standardized shipping containers make global trade a lot more efficient because everyone's working with the same sized boxes, cargo vessels, and so on.The Universal Serial Bus standard, usually shorthanded as USB, is also a good comparison here, as the USB was introduced to replaced a bunch of other standards in the early days of personal computing, which varied by computer maker, and which made it difficult for those makers, plus those who developed accessories, to make their products accessible and inexpensive for end-users, as you might buy a mouse that doesn't work with your specific computer hardware, or you might have a cable that fits in the hole on your computer, but doesn't send the right amount of data, or provide the power you need.USB standards ensured that all devices had the same holes, and that a certain basic level of data and power transmission would be available. And while this standard has since fractured a bit, a period of many different types of USB leading to a lot of confusion, and the deployment of the USB C standard simplying things somewhat, but still being a bit confounding at times, as the same shaped plug may carry different amounts of data and power, despite all that, it has still made things a lot easier for both consumers and producers of electronic goods, as there are fewer plugs and charger types to purchase, and thus less waste, confusion, and so on. We've moved on from the wild west era of computer hardware connectivity into something less varied and thus, more predictable and interoperable.The MCP, if it's successful, could go on to be something like the USB standard in that it would serve as a universal connector between various AI systems and all the things you might want those AI systems to access and use.That might mean you want one of Anthropic's AI systems to build you a business, without you having to do much or anything at all, and it may be capable of doing so, asking you questions along the way if it requires more clarity or additional permissiosn—to open a bank account in your name, for instance—but otherwise acting more agentically, as intended, even to the point that it could run social media accounts, work with manufacturers of the goods you sell, and handle customer service inquiries on your behalf.What makes this standard a standout compared to other options, though—and there are many other proposed options, right now, as this space is still kind of a wild west—is that though it was developed by Anthropic, which originally made it to work with its Claude family of AI tools, it has since also been adopted by OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and several of the other largest players in the AI world.That means, although there are other options here, all with their own pros and cons, as was the case with USB compared to other connection options back in the day, MCP is usable with many of the biggest and most spendy and powerful entities in the AI world, right now, and that gives it a sort of credibility and gravity that the other standards don't currently enjoy.This standard is also rapidly being adopted by companies like Block, Apollo, PayPal, CloudFlare, Asana, Plaid, and Sentry, among many, many others—including other connectors, like Zapier, which basically allows stuff to connect to other stuff, further broadening the capacity of AI tools that adopt this standard.While this isn't a done deal, then, there's a good chance that MCP will be the first big connective, near-universal standard in this space, which in turn means many of the next-step moves and tools in this space will need to work with it, in order to gain adoption and flourish, and that means, like the standards spread around the world by the Marshall Plan, it will go on to shape the look and feel and capabilities, including the limitations, of future AI tools and scaffoldings.Show Noteshttps://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/04/mcp-the-new-usb-c-for-ai-thats-bringing-fierce-rivals-together/https://blog.cloudflare.com/remote-model-context-protocol-servers-mcp/https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2025/05/what-went-wrong-with-wireless-usb.htmlhttps://arxiv.org/html/2504.16736v2https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Context_Protocol#cite_note-anthropic_mcp-1https://github.com/modelcontextprotocolhttps://www.anthropic.com/news/integrationshttps://www.theverge.com/2024/11/25/24305774/anthropic-model-context-protocol-data-sourceshttps://beebom.com/model-context-protocol-mcp-explained/https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/26/openai-adopts-rival-anthropics-standard-for-connecting-ai-models-to-data/https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/09/google-says-itll-embrace-anthropics-standard-for-connecting-ai-models-to-data/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_artificial_intelligencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USBhttps://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/marshall-planhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Planhttps://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R45079https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/marshall-planhttps://www.history.com/articles/marshall-plan This is a public episode.
