Automated enforcement on the roads actually makes you LESS safe behind the wheel. I talk with Jay Beeber, Executive Director of Policy for the National Motorist's Association about why automated speed and red light cameras no only lead to more unwarranted tickets, but more corruption, more surveillance, and less safe driving conditions. Whether you enjoy wrenching on cars, optimizing performance, or just want to understand what's going under the hood, this is the car show that talks about everything with four wheels and then some!

If you're running Google Ads and haven't checked your account-level automated assets recently, there's a good chance you're spending money on site links, callouts, and snippets and other AI-generated assets you never set up yourself.In this quick tutorial, I show you exactly where to find automated extensions in Google Ads and how to switch them off. This will save you a lot of money. This came up during a client account audit, and it was AI that reminded me and flagged where the spend was actually going — which is part of why I keep pushing AI as a core part of any PPC workflow nowadays.

As AI becomes increasingly capable of generating code, many developers are asking the wrong question. Instead of asking whether AI will replace developers, a better question is: What skills become more valuable when code generation becomes easier? The answer may be AI Deployment Ownership. About Jason Sherman Jason Sherman is a serial entrepreneur, filmmaker, author, and technology founder best known for building practical solutions that bridge the gap between emerging technology and real-world business problems. He is the founder and CEO of Vengo AI and has launched multiple technology platforms throughout his entrepreneurial career. Jason is known for his direct, hands-on approach to innovation, focusing on execution, product development, AI implementation, and helping businesses leverage technology without losing sight of operational realities. His perspective combines startup experience, software development expertise, product strategy, and a strong belief that technology should solve actual business problems rather than chase trends. Links: Facebook, Twitter / X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Website AI Deployment Ownership Changes the Developer Role Historically, many developers focused on implementation. Their value came from translating requirements into working code. Today, AI can assist with much of that work. That shifts responsibility upward. Developers are increasingly expected to understand: Architecture Infrastructure Security Deployment Automation The ability to oversee an entire system becomes more important than writing every line manually. Insight: AI raises the importance of systems thinking. Why Building Is No Longer Enough Many AI-created applications work perfectly in development environments. Production introduces a different reality. Organizations need: Monitoring Logging Security controls CI/CD pipelines Recovery procedures These are areas where experience matters significantly. An application that functions correctly in a demo environment may fail quickly when exposed to real-world usage patterns. AI Deployment Ownership Requires Infrastructure Knowledge One of the strongest themes from the conversation was ownership. Developers who understand deployment gain an advantage by moving beyond simple application development. Key capabilities include: Server management API security Automated deployments Version control workflows Environment management These responsibilities cannot be delegated entirely to AI. Action: Learn how applications move from development into production. The Rise of the Technical Operator The next generation of developers may resemble technical operators rather than pure coders. Their responsibilities include: Reviewing AI output Managing architecture Protecting infrastructure Maintaining reliability This shift mirrors previous technology transitions. Tools become easier. Responsibility becomes greater. AI Deployment Ownership Creates Career Protection Developers concerned about long-term career relevance should focus on areas where judgment matters. AI can generate code. It cannot reliably assume accountability. Organizations still need professionals who can: Evaluate tradeoffs Assess risks Make deployment decisions Own outcomes That ownership creates value. Conclusion The future belongs to developers who understand entire systems rather than individual code files. AI Deployment Ownership represents a practical path forward for developers looking to remain relevant in an increasingly automated environment. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

Alignment is not on track Artificial superintelligence (ASI) may be developed in the next few years. It is unclear whether alignment is on track to be ready on the same timeframe. At a minimum, the empirical programs at AI labs are unlikely to deliver a priori confidence, before training ASI, that things will go well. We are starting a large nonprofit research organization, Sequent, that aims to clear a higher bar: We are aiming at higher confidence via a portfolio of theory and empirics bets, all of which could fail, such that if any succeed, they would give us more a priori confidence in aligned outcomes.We are investing heavily in automation to accelerate progress on these bets.We believe that theory unlocks higher automation. Taking a more principled approach offers better filters for deciding which directions of automated research are promising (a proof is worth a thousand experiments, and even a pseudo-proof is worth hundreds). Who[1]: researchers from the UK AISI's Alignment Team and Timaeus, with more to come. We're aiming at 40-80 FTE two years from now. The Alignment Team ran the £30m Alignment Project, and Timaeus has pioneered applying singular learning theory (SLT) to alignment.

Episode 302: This week's episode AI is moving beyond answering questions — it's beginning to rewrite the systems beneath itself, raising a critical question: who builds the brake pedal when autonomous agents start making decisions at scale? We pair that warning with tech that inspires and unsettles, from NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Telescope launching early to Microsoft testing office‑focused AI hardware that sparks immediate privacy concerns. Gwen Way also spotlights the Roro Lee Pocket AI and the real implications of recording‑consent laws and cloud‑stored data.We round things out with the cultural side of automation: Hinge's AI conversation starters, Instagram's AI support bot missteps, and Hasbro testing AI personalities for classic characters. A full hour of tech news with real‑world takeaways, not hype this is the episode you don't skip all coming up on TechTime Radio, with a little whiskey on the side.-- Full Episode Details:AI isn't just answering questions anymore, it's starting to write the system underneath itself, and that should make every tech user pause. We kick things off with a stark warning from inside the AI world: if the industry only has a gas pedal, what does a “brake pedal” look like, and who gets to press it when autonomous AI agents start making decisions at scale?From there, we keep it moving with tech that feels hopeful and tech that feels invasive. We talk NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launching ahead of schedule and why its massive field of view could reshape what we know about dark energy and galaxy formation. Then we come back down to Earth with Microsoft testing AI hardware for office workers, including a wearable badge concept that raises immediate privacy questions. Gwen Way joins us for Gadgets and Gear with the Roro Lee Pocket AI agent, a Kickstarter device designed to capture meeting notes and turn them into action plans, plus a straight talk moment about recording consent laws and where your data really goes when “the cloud” is involved.We also hit the cultural side of automation: Hinge rolling out AI to help people start dating conversations, Instagram's AI support bot creating a security mess, and Hasbro experimenting with AI chatbots for icons like Optimus Prime and Mr. Potato Head. Add a whiskey tasting of Arbeiki 1794 Highland Rye Single Grain Scotch and you've got a full hour of tech news for everyday people with real takeaways.

Passwords were built for a different era of the internet. It's time to move past shared secrets to close your organization's largest threat vector for good.Traditional passwords and legacy Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) are no longer enough to protect your business. Automated, scaling phishing toolkits easily intercept shared secrets, leaving small and medium businesses highly vulnerable to credential breaches.In this episode, Jen sits down with Nishant Kaushik, Chief Technology Officer at the FIDO Alliance, to translate complex cryptographic standards into an actionable, resource-light deployment plan. Learn how to transition away from legacy authentication and close the hidden operational loopholes that hackers actively exploit.What You Will Learn:The Flaw in Basic MFA: Why SMS codes and standard one-time passwords (OTPs) are failing, and what true "phishing-resistant" security means.The Account Recovery Trap: Why a weak "Forgot Password" workflow accidentally gives hackers their primary attack vector back—and how to fix it.The Bottom-Line Benefit: How moving to passkeys drastically reduces internal IT helpdesk tickets, manual password resets, and overhead costs.Right-Sizing Your Passkey Deployment: How to easily segment your workforce strategy:Standard Users: Synced passkeys via platform credential managers (Apple, Google, 1Password, Bitwarden).Privileged Users: Dedicated hardware keys (YubiKeys) for root admins and high-sensitivity infrastructure.The 1-Week Action Plan: How to leverage the identity infrastructure you already own (like Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID) to deploy passkeys today.Resources Mentioned:Learn more about modern identity standards: FIDO Alliance WebsiteReview baseline federal security recommendations: CISA Guidance on Phishing-Resistant MFADiscover SecurityMetrics compliance resources: SecurityMetrics Official SiteThreat Intelligence Data: Read the data behind credential exploitation in the latest Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). Federal Passkey Standards: Review the updated identity and passkey frameworks via the NIST SP 800-63 Digital Identity Guidelines. Enterprise Identity Platforms: Learn how modern stacks integrate passwordless via Okta Verify and Microsoft Entra ID. About the Guest: Nishant Kaushik is the Chief Technology Officer at the FIDO Alliance, bringing over 25 years of leadership in digital identity and access management (IAM). He holds nine patents, frequently serves on the advisory committees for the RSA Conference and Identiverse, and is a founding member of IDPro.A note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry.

WWJ auto analyst John McElroy reports China is worried about more manufacturing moving out of the country so it is pushing automation.

What does it actually mean to care about your couples? Not in a vague, wholesome sense - but practically, between the booking email and the wedding day? This week the four of us are back together after a busy stretch of weddings (and one very long drive to Skye), and this question pops up in most of what we're talking about today.Liam kicks things off with tales from the road - a 22-hour round trip to the Isle of Skye for a four-hour elopement, accommodation that shared a building with a funeral director, and a mid-ceremony nature emergency that he handled with more resourcefulness than dignity. There's also the heartwarming news that Bee's daughter Betty shot her very first wedding and, by all accounts, absolutely smashed it.Pete and Laura relive their Paris trip - a 1920s indoor fairground, a ringmaster officiant, Britney-soundtracked backup dancers, and the "Inception bridge" - before the whole group spirals into debating whether they should all move to Scotland (Pete: no; midges: also no).From there, things get deep: a recent opinion arguing that photographers and videographers should position themselves as "creative leads" on wedding days. The group picks that apart honestly - where the idea has merit, why it mostly doesn't work (for us), and what actually happens when the makeup artist is still doing BTS portraits while you're trying to shoot. Pete raises something that's been coming up in consults lately: couples are booking "editorial" photographers thinking the word signals a natural, unposed approach - because "documentary" now sounds old-fashioned to them - when editorial often means the opposite. The terminology has become almost meaningless. It's the same problem that existed when everyone called themselves documentary photographers but still whisked couples away for two hours of portraits.And then: a TikTok from a wedding-industry bride saying no vendor made her feel cared about. Do we? Should we be doing more between booking and the big day - automated check-ins, WhatsApp groups, gifts? Or does showing up fully and delivering exceptional work speak louder than any amount of pre-wedding communication?Honest, warm, and occasionally extremely disgusting - this is a good one.Timestamps00:00 Intro & welcome back Liam 03:45 How long can you leave an inquiry unanswered? 04:10 Isle of Skye elopement - the drive, the cost, the hostel 07:00 The wilderness incident (you'll know when you get there) 09:25 Betty's first wedding shoot12:30 Paris Musee des Arts Forains wedding - fairground, ringmaster, Britney17:50 Filming vs. photography - why variety makes both better 18:35 Should we all move to Scotland? 20:00 Stefan sells up and goes full Viking 21:30 Should photographers be "creative leads" on wedding days? 27:00 The rise of content creators at weddings & its knock-on effects 30:00 Editorial vs. documentary - the language is broken33:30 The wonky camera trend & the Adlington Flip 37:00 Do our couples feel cared for? 38:50 Automated check-ins, WhatsApp groups 42:00 The photographer who delivers nothing for months44:00 Highs & lows of the past few weeks 46:30 A funeral & finding joy in hard days 48:00 What's coming up - Devon, Scotland, and Liam's eight-day gauntletSay hi on Instagram @ourcreativecommuneGet a free 14 day trial of Musicbed: https://www.musicbed.com/invite/935CyThe British Wedding Film Festivalhttps://www.britishweddingfilmfestival.com/Lawson Film School: https://www.lawsonfilms.co.uk/lawson-film-schoolliamandbee.comlawsonfilms.co.uklawsonphotography.co.uk#weddingphotography #weddingvideography #filmphotography #creativepodcast #weddingindustry #ourcreativecommune Hosted on Acast.

Submissions can feel like a scavenger hunt: PDFs in one place, schedules in another, critical details buried in an email thread, and a clock ticking while you try to meet client expectations. We wanted to dig into what actually helps, not another tool that creates more work. So we sat down with Leah Herman, product manager for CRC's Ready Intel, to talk about how AI-driven insights and automation are reshaping the insurance submission and placement process for retail agents and CRC brokers.We break down what REDY Intel is at a practical level: an intelligence layer embedded across the CRC REDY platform that powers automated clearance, submission data extraction, Risk Insights, and Market Insights. We also get specific about what “data extraction” really means, including pulling underwriting fields like payroll, gross sales, vehicle schedules, and construction details, helping reduce missed information and the endless back-and-forth that slows quotes and binding.Then we go beyond speed. Risk Insights turns extracted fields plus context from the submission email into a summarized risk snapshot, giving brokers a head start on understanding exposures and identifying what is missing. Market Insights adds another layer by analyzing placement trends and carrier appetite to recommend better carrier matches, helping you market smarter and set clearer timelines with clients. Throughout, we come back to the same principle: technology should enhance relationships and specialty knowledge, not replace them.If you want faster clearance, stronger submission quality, and more data-driven placement decisions, listen now.  Visit REDYIndex.com for critical pricing analysis and a snapshot of the marketplace.Do you want to take your career to the next level?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, host Natalie Hood of The Grit Game sits down with Adam Beech, founder and CEO of PoolBrain, for an in-depth discussion about the operational challenges facing modern pool service companies and the technology being developed to solve them. Adam shares his journey from operating a 20-truck pool service company in Phoenix, Arizona, to creating one of the industry's fastest-growing software platforms after realizing that technician accountability, customer retention, and operational scalability were problems traditional management methods could not fully solve. The conversation explores PoolBrain's latest breakthrough: fully automated LSI (Langelier Saturation Index) chemical dosing. Adam explains how PoolBrain now integrates with the Arenda calculator to automate complex water chemistry calculations, allowing companies to establish their preferred LSI methodology once and have the system consistently execute those calculations for technicians in the field. The result is reduced training time, increased consistency, improved water balance, and fewer chemistry-related mistakes. Natalie and Adam also discuss one of the industry's most persistent challenges: technician turnover. Adam explains how PoolBrain was originally built to solve the difficulties of managing field technicians, maintaining service quality, and scaling operations without increasing administrative burden. The discussion highlights how automation can reduce training requirements, standardize procedures, and help companies maintain quality regardless of staffing changes. The episode takes a deep dive into the growing role of automation in pool service operations, including: Automated chemical dosing  AI-assisted tablet recommendations  Customer communication systems  Route management  Billing automation  Service verification  Preventative maintenance alerts  Equipment monitoring  Inventory management innovations Adam explains how modern software is shifting pool companies from reactive management to proactive operations by identifying problems before they become customer complaints. Examples include tracking PSI trends to detect clogged impellers, identifying recurring chemistry issues before pools turn green, and automatically notifying customers when routes change. One of the most anticipated segments focuses on PoolBrain's future inventory management system. Adam outlines a vision of fully automated inventory tracking that follows products from supplier purchase to truck stock to chemical consumption at individual pools. The goal is a closed-loop inventory ecosystem that dramatically reduces waste, improves accountability, and eliminates countless hours of manual inventory management. Natalie also challenges Adam on several common industry myths, including: "Software is only for large companies."  "All pool software is basically the same."  "Technicians hate software." Adam explains why smaller companies often benefit just as much as larger operations and why modern pool software is evolving far beyond simple digital service logs into comprehensive operational platforms. The discussion concludes with a look at the future of the industry, including remote equipment monitoring, automated chemistry management, AI-assisted operations, integrated supplier purchasing, and the increasing role of data-driven decision-making in pool service businesses. Adam shares his belief that many operational tasks currently performed manually will become fully automated within the next five years, allowing service companies to focus more on customer relationships and business growth. Whether you're a single-pole operator, route manager, service technician, or owner of a multi-truck operation, this episode offers a fascinating look at how technology is reshaping the future of pool service.Key Topics Discussed The origins of PoolBrain  Technician turnover and accountability  Automated LSI dosing  AI-driven chemical recommendations  Customer communication automation  Service verification and photo documentation  Inventory management and purchasing automation  Operational scalability  Customer portals and self-service tools  The future of AI in pool service  Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance  Why software is becoming essential for competitive pool companies GuestAdam Beach Founder and CEO of PoolBrain, former pool service company owner, and software innovator focused on solving operational challenges within the pool service industry.HostNatalie Hood Director of Education and Events at The Grit GameLearn MorePoolBrain Official Website#TalkingPools #PoolBrain #PoolService #SwimmingPoolIndustry #LSI #PoolChemistry #PoolTech #PoolBusiness #PoolIndustryTechnology #AutomationInPools Support the showThank you so much for listening!

What happens when an Ai agent is given one goal, trained on the right inputs, and left to run for 13 hours?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, Dan and I walk through exactly that. While sitting in the audience at Abundance360, I built an Ai agent designed to win Peter Diamandis's $3.5 million sci-fi film competition. The agent produced five fully edited three-minute trailers - complete with original scripts, character designs, mood boards, voiceovers, soundtracks, sound effects, and final edits. Total production cost: $48.Dan watched every film live during the conversation. His reactions - and his observations about the timeless nature of storytelling, Shakespeare's technique of starting in the middle, and why asking "who does this hurt?" is the fastest way to kill creative opportunity - give this episode a depth that goes well beyond the technology itself.We also cover the broader picture: what this speed and accessibility means for entrepreneurs, creators, and anyone who has ever had a story to tell but thought the barrier to entry was too high.The core message from both is clear: the tools are no longer the obstacle. Great storytelling is still the moat. And the window to get ahead of this is open right now.In this episode, Dan and I cover:How Mike built an Ai agent at Abundance360 with a single mission - win a $3.5 million film competitionThe "cheat code" of training an agent on the judge's known preferences before startingA full walkthrough of all five Ai-generated film trailers with Dan reacting in real timeWhy Dan says Shakespeare's storytelling technique shows up in all five filmsThe $48 total production cost reveal and what it signals for the future of filmmakingThe five-day production of a full one-man musical show using Ai and real performance combinedDan's warning: the question "who does this hurt?" stops creativity before it startsMike's 10% time compounding framework and how it changes decision-makingWhy the moat in creative work is now the storytelling and the wrangler - not the toolsWhat comes next with Ai agents - breakthroughs Mike previews for a future episodeNote: The observations and experiments shared in this episode reflect Mike Koenigs's personal experience with Ai filmmaking tools.

Host Malcolm Harris rides "solo dolo" for a jam-packed Wednesday edition of What the Truck, touted as the fastest 45 minutes in freight. The episode covers breaking logistics headlines and features two insightful interviews focused on the future of freight technology, automation, and the operational realities of electric trucking.• Global X Airlines Dispute: A look into an unusual internal battle where the airline has accused a shareholder of actively working against its growing cargo operations.• CDL Updates in Texas and Ohio:Texas has resumed issuing non-domiciled Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) to temporary H-2A agricultural farmworkers following federal approval.Ohio is reviewing roughly 5,000 nonresidential CDLs to ensure compliance with strict new federal standards and verification practices. Travis Rhyan joins Malcolm in-studio to share lessons from his extensive background in FreightTech and discuss why he left his executive role at MyCarrier to build Carrier1 from scratch. Travis explains that carriers have historically been underserved by technology, noting that a shocking percentage still rely on outdated legacy systems (like IBM mainframes from 1995) or no TMS at all. His mission is to bring automation to carriers to ultimately eliminate the chaotic web of emails and phone calls for brokers. Joining the show from Berlin, Germany, Manhattan-native Graham Major-Ex explains how Sennder has become a top-five full-truckload freight forwarder in Europe (generating $1 billion in revenue) through strategic acquisitions like Uber Freight Europe and C.H. Robinson's European surface transport division.

The episode covers breaking logistics headlines and features two insightful interviews focused on the future of freight technology, automation, and the operational realities of electric trucking.• Global X Airlines Dispute: A look into an unusual internal battle where the airline has accused a shareholder of actively working against its growing cargo operations.• CDL Updates in Texas and Ohio:Texas has resumed issuing non-domiciled Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) to temporary H-2A agricultural farmworkers following federal approval.Ohio is reviewing roughly 5,000 nonresidential CDLs to ensure compliance with strict new federal standards and verification practices. Travis Rhyan joins Malcolm in-studio to share lessons from his extensive background in FreightTech and discuss why he left his executive role at MyCarrier to build Carrier1 from scratch. Travis explains that carriers have historically been underserved by technology, noting that a shocking percentage still rely on outdated legacy systems (like IBM mainframes from 1995) or no TMS at all. His mission is to bring automation to carriers to ultimately eliminate the chaotic web of emails and phone calls for brokers.Joining the show from Berlin, Germany, Manhattan-native Graham Major-Ex explains how Sennder has become a top-five full-truckload freight forwarder in Europe (generating $1 billion in revenue) through strategic acquisitions like Uber Freight Europe and C.H. Robinson's European surface transport division.  Watch on YouTube Visit our sponsor - KOONER FLEET MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Subscribe to the WTT newsletter Apple Podcasts Spotify More FreightWaves Podcasts #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Neoborn Caveman opens with historical reflections on power shifts, from the fall of Constantinople to Mount Everest summits and cultural ironies around identity and achievement, urging listeners to build real memories through active presence rather than screen-bound illusions. NC then shifts into a satirical ramble on an absurd yet telling incident involving a static Knight Rider KITT replica car at the Volo Museum in Illinois that received a New York City speeding ticket via automated enforcement systems, using the mix-up to expose broader flaws in bureaucratic AI-driven surveillance, database errors, and the erosion of human agency and innocence until proven guilty. Throughout, the marble-mouthed host blends humor with warnings about unchecked systems profiting from defaults, drawing parallels to real-world overreach while calling for pro-humanity resistance and presence.Key TakeawaysNothing is permanent; empires and eras end, reminding us that apparent eternals are cracking.Real memories form through active presence and human connections, not passive screens or illusions.Automated systems prioritize efficiency over accuracy, shifting burdens onto citizens.Database matches and AI logic often fail basic human oversight, yet defaults assume guilt.The process itself becomes punishment when appeals cost more than compliance.Small errors in enforcement reveal larger architectures threatening personal freedom.Question performative leadership and behavioral manipulations lacking substance.Humanity's soul requires standing against systems that erode agency and truth.Historical parallels show recurring patterns of control following major shifts.Build meaning beyond the mundane to counter loss of purpose in modern life.Sound Bites"The thing that looks eternal is already cracking.""Life is much more than the mundane. And we should build up memories through active presence.""Don't let life pass you by. You don't have nine lives like Garfield.""A car hasn't moved in years got 50 dollar speeding fine because camera photographed plate two states away.""You can't reason with these things because they are brain dead just like people who think they are clever.""The burden of proving the match wrong falls on the person who got the ticket.""The process itself is a punishment.""AI is a lying a-hole with a narcissist tendency to gaslight you about it.""The system by design profits from death resignations.""What is better: Still being glued to your screen? Having fake illusions?"Music: Neoborn CavemanKeywords: automated enforcement, AI surveillance, bureaucratic errors, human agency, Knight Rider KITT, database failures, pro-humanity, power shifts, active presence, freedom resistance.Humanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.Free speech marinated in comedy.Supporting Purple Rabbits.Viva los Conejos Morados.

In Episode 2 of Inside Food Safety, Eric Moore of Testo North America returns to discuss one of the biggest threats facing restaurants today, not a single catastrophic mistake, but the slow erosion of standards through complacency. From leadership and food safety culture to burnout, staffing challenges, and operational blind spots, Eric and Carl explore how small shortcuts can become dangerous habits when accountability begins to slip. The conversation also examines why the phrase "We've always done it this way" may be one of the most harmful mindsets in hospitality, and how strong leadership, employee empowerment, and consistent operating procedures help protect guests, staff, and a restaurant's reputation. The episode concludes with practical solutions operators can implement today, including automated temperature monitoring, proper thermometer usage, and leveraging technology to strengthen food safety systems while reducing operational risk. Inside Food Safety is a recurring Walk-In Talk Media series designed to bring practical food safety conversations directly to chefs, operators, managers, and hospitality professionals. Guest: Eric Moore, Food Safety Expert, Testo North America Follow Testo North America: Instagram: @testoamerica Connect with Eric Moore: LinkedIn: Eric Moore Takeaways Leadership sets the tone for food safety culture. Complacency is often more dangerous than isolated mistakes. "We've always done it this way" creates operational blind spots. Handwashing compliance remains one of the simplest indicators of kitchen discipline. Burnout and staff fatigue directly impact food safety performance. Proper thermometer use is still widely misunderstood throughout the industry. Technology can reduce human error and improve operational consistency. Automated temperature monitoring can help protect inventory, reduce risk, and improve response times. Continuous improvement is critical to maintaining safe, successful operations.

Welcome to the Wednesday Weekly Win, our business breakthrough story series. Each week, we sit down with real entrepreneurs from our Business By Design community who are building digital businesses and creating results that once felt impossible. In this episode, we're joined by Meytal, a professional dancer turned healing movement coach who built a multiple 6-figure membership business in under 3 years. Guess what? She started with zero knowledge of email automation! After a car accident left her unable to dance, Meytal discovered the Feldenkrais method and created a unique fusion of healing and dance. Meytal shares how she scaled from $1K to $10K months in her first year inside BBD, built a team that ran her business during 6 months of cancer treatment, and shifted from massive live launches to automated webinars. Plus, we dive into her heart-centered marketing approach and why the BBD community became the most meaningful self-development journey of her life. This is another real story of clarity, momentum, and the breakthroughs that happen when you finally stop guessing and start following a proven path. From first digital products to 6-figure launches, to building audiences and scaling systems, every conversation reveals the mechanics of what actually creates growth in a digital business. Because when you see someone just a few steps ahead of what you're doing, something powerful happens. James's biggest free training of the year is right around the corner… The Business Breakthrough Experience - and the first live training kicks off June 11th.  And in the weeks leading up to it, we're creating even more opportunities for you to get the coaching, clarity, and momentum your business truly deserves. Starting this June, we're hosting a special series of live panels featuring incredible Digital CEOs—like Meytal—who are in it, doing it, and ready to share what's actually working right now. These aren't just sit-back-and-watch sessions… You'll be able to join us live on Zoom, ask your questions, and get real-time coaching from experts who have been exactly where you are. And the best way to make sure you don't miss a single one? Register for The Business Breakthrough Experience.

Ever found yourself pacing your living room, aggressively shouting "REPRESENTATIVE!" into your phone, only for a cheerful robot to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that?" You aren't alone, and it's not just a minor annoyance—it's an "infinite loop architecture" by design. In this deep dive, we unpack a groundbreaking legal battle launched by Florida citizen Kerry Lutz, who has filed emergency petitions with both the FCC and the Florida Public Service Commission to demand a Live Agent Access Requirement. In this episode, we expose how corporations financially profit as "deflected calls" when frustrated customers hang up, and we detail Lutz's proposed regulatory "fire escape"—a rule forcing telecom and utility monopolies to provide a human option within 60 seconds without mandatory automated screening. We also dive into the dystopian reality of the "hidden biometric toll," explaining how modern AI menus secretly harvest voice prints and analyze your stress levels, exploiting a massive regulatory gap left by laws stuck in the "press 1 for billing" era. Finally, we tackle the ultimate philosophical question: if AI eventually becomes flawless and perfectly mimics human empathy, will we even care about talking to a real person anymore? If you've ever been held hostage by an automated phone tree, this episode is the validation—and the legal breakdown—you've been waiting for. Tune in to learn how one regular citizen is taking on the entire utility and telecom industry to save us all from the automated doom loop. Find Kerry here: https://kerrylutz.com

Dan Shipper runs one of the most AI-native companies today. Every has agents embedded in nearly every workflow—“if you swing a stick in our Slack, you're as likely to hit a human as an agent,” he says. And yet the company has grown from four people to 30 since GPT-3 came out, and is still hiring.Why does Dan believe there's more human work to do than ever?In a format flip for AI & I, Every's COO Brandon Gell turns the tables and interviews Dan about his latest essay, “After Automation”—an 8,000-word argument for why rising automation doesn't eliminate demand for human work, it increases it. The thesis: AI makes yesterday's expert competence cheap and widely available, which floods every field with output that's close but not quite right—and that creates more demand for the humans who can take it the rest of the way.Dan talked with Brandon  about the paradox at the heart of agent-native work: The more AI can do, the more humans are needed to direct it, refine its output, and decide what matters next.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!To hear more from Dan Shipper:Subscribe to Every: https://every.to/subscribeFollow him on X: https://twitter.com/danshipperLinks to resources mentioned in the episode:“After Automation” by Dan Shipper: https://every.to/chain-of-thought/after-automationBrandon Gell on Every: https://every.to/@brandon_5263Join the membership for where you live at joinbilt.com/danTimestamps:00:00:51 Introduction00:05:51 The AI paradox: more automation, more human work00:10:00 How AI makes yesterday's expert competence cheap00:18:00 AI can act autonomously but it does not have agency00:20:39 Why Dan is all in on AGI00:21:57 AI layoffs are a lie00:25:42 Ride the models and you'll be fine00:35:30 How to use AI as a long-form features editor

Zero100 predicts that by 2030, 60% of supply chain's functional activities will shift to automated or autonomous execution. But what happens to the workers in that equation? This week on the podcast, Zero100's Matt Davis, Caroline Chumakov, and Lauren Acoba deliver the honest answer. Drawing from analyses of 413 solution providers and over a million job descriptions, they reveal how the division of labor is already shifting, explore and what work will remain distinctly human as data tasks move to automation and strategic judgment, supplier relationships, and systems thinking become the competitive advantage. With examples from BMW's frontline upskilling programs and Fortune 100 adoption strategies, they show how winning companies bring entire workforces along this journey.

Why does hygiene feel “booked out” and still leave you scrambling to fill holes at the last minute? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with ACT coach Ariel Siegel about why an underperforming hygiene schedule is almost always a systems problem—and how to fix it with two foundational levers: a strong reappointment/recare follow-up system and a calibrated periodontal protocol. You'll learn what breakdowns create reactive scheduling, what “getting it right” looks like in the numbers and in patient communication, and what your team can do today to start rebuilding predictability in hygiene. Listen to Episode 1051 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A consistently full hygiene schedule depends on two core systems: strong reappointment/recare follow-up and a strong periodontal protocol.When systems are missing, teams become reactive and spend significant time scrambling to fill last-minute openings.Automated reminders are necessary, but they cannot replace a defined recare follow-up process that tracks and re-engages unscheduled patients.“Booked out” hygiene can still indicate a breakdown if the practice is constantly scrambling to fill tomorrow's holes.A strong hygiene reappointment process requires patients to leave with the next visit scheduled and a clear understanding of why they are returning.A calibrated perio protocol increases consistent diagnosis, patient understanding, and acceptance, which supports both hygiene stability and restorative scheduling.Building systems up front reduces future effort and prevents the ongoing “chasing patients” cycle that patients often resist.Snippets:01:55 The two systems that keep the hygiene schedule predictably full.03:50 What it looks like when hygiene scheduling is broken and the team becomes reactive.04:20 Why reminders can't be the whole recare system.05:40 “We're booked out months” but still scrambling—what that signals.07:10 What “getting it right” looks like: reappointment commitment and follow-up tracking.09:00 How calibrating a perio protocol changes perio percentages and 4000 codes.11:30 Stop chasing patients—capture commitment while they're in the practice.12:10 What your team can do today: find the gaps driving last-minute holes.12:40 The easiest short-term win: improve hygiene reappointment expectations.14:05 Why perio protocol calibration takes alignment, tools, and consistent messaging.16:10 Systems save hours: invest now instead of living in reactive mode.16:55 Where to find BPA resources for hygiene reappointment/recare follow-up and calibrated perio protocol.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

Bill Rectanus spent the bulk of his career in the world of construction innovation. Seeking out materials and solutions to drive production building to zero energy while being cognizant of cost effectiveness and bottom-line economics. Working for midsize regional production builders in Colorado for the bulk of his career, Bill found his next chapter aligning with Automated Architectural. AUAR as the company is known, is a company from England that has the capability to turn a job site into a factory by deploying Micro-Factories to build wall, floor, and roof panels directly on the building sites where they will be installed.  This new phase of panelized construction has potential to address skilled labor shortages, as well as the economics of constructing homes that could be the next innovation that the construction industry is looking for.

Real wealth is not built by working harder forever. It is built by creating assets that work without you. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the true definition of financial freedom: building an asset machine. Let's be real… If your income depends on you showing up every single day… Taking every call… Closing every deal… And personally delivering every result… You do not have freedom. You have a high paying job. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between active income and true asset-based income Why trading time for money will always limit your freedom How recurring revenue creates stability, leverage, and peace of mind Why physical and digital infrastructure are the foundation of real wealth The truth is simple: You cannot be the engine forever. At some point, your hustle has to build something that runs without you. Merchant terminals. Software subscriptions. Automated systems. Recurring revenue. Assets that produce income while you are unplugged. That is how you stop chasing every dollar. That is how you protect your calendar. That is how you build generational security. Because true wealth is not just about how much money you make. It is about how much of your income keeps coming in… Without demanding your constant attention. Build the machine. Own the asset. Secure the freedom. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

The Chalets Hygge brand has expanded into Experience Hygge, an umbrella that now also covers a roadside motel four hours away from the original property. It is a seventeen-room hospitality business with daily turnover, walk-in guests, and an operational rhythm that has almost nothing in common with the chalets that built the brand. Kerri and her partner Philippe Pichette took on the motel in 2024 and have spent the past seventeen months renovating it while keeping it operational. In this conversation, Kerri talks honestly about what running two very different businesses with a small team actually looks like, how she has stepped back to let her chalet team grow into their roles, and where AI has earned a permanent place in her week. She also speaks plainly about her seven-year history with Lodgify, her direct booking strategy across both businesses, and the move she has been quietly making from ChatGPT to Claude. There is something here for anyone running a lean hospitality business who is curious about AI but does not want hype.  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The episode highlights a structural transition from software systems that record tasks to platforms that actively participate in business decisions, particularly through agentic AI in procurement. This shift is anchored in the adoption of AI-driven SaaS solutions by mid-market organizations, as seen with Procurify, which reports managing over $100 billion in organizational spend. The mechanism moves beyond basic automation, assigning software agents responsibilities that were traditionally human—such as flagging compliance breaches or routing approvals—directly within operational workflows. According to Chad Gaydos, current deployments of such agentic AI commonly automate tasks like invoice detail verification, policy enforcement, and contract compliance. These developments are most prominent in mid-market environments, where limited staffing—sometimes with no dedicated procurement analysts—drives greater reliance on platforms to perform core operational functions. The focus is not on completely replacing personnel but on supplementing constrained teams and ensuring repeatable enforcement of controls, with organizations leveraging these systems to gain efficiency in both cost and process governance. Additional points discussed reinforce the central shift, such as the distinctive pace of adoption among mid-market firms compared to enterprises. He identifies that smaller organizations often approach these technologies with greater agility and willingness to accept risk, while also displaying heightened dependency on system trust and governance frameworks. The episode also references "frontier firms" co-defined by Microsoft and Procurify, characterized by their forward-leaning adoption of AI and structured standards for technological governance. Variability in governance, auditability, and trust across different organization sizes underlines the operational diversity in adopting agentic platforms. For MSPs and IT leaders, these shifts raise practical concerns around governance design, accountability for software-driven actions, and operational dependency on vendor platforms. Effective risk mitigation requires establishing audit trails, clear standards for automation versus human oversight, and robust compliance controls. Providers supporting mid-market clients should anticipate requests for prescriptive guidance on data and process governance, while also preparing for greater operational reliance on systems that automate, not merely record, business decisions.

That's an entire salary we don't have to pay.In this episode, Josh and Dylan walk through the exact step-by-step process they used to integrate AI into a small team and offload hundreds of hours of monotonous work so the team can live in their "green zone" and focus on the work that actually grows the business.This isn't theory.
