Leadership transitions reveal what companies value most.When FTC Solar recently tapped Anthony Carroll as the new CEO, they chose someone who has spent more than two decades helping build some of clean energy's most recognizable companies. From helping scale Power Electronics from a small Spanish manufacturer into a global powerhouse, to leading Powin during a period of extraordinary growth, Anthony has experienced both the excitement and the hard lessons that come with building businesses in rapidly evolving markets.Now, after stepping away from the industry to lead automated manufacturing initiatives outside of energy, he's back with a new mandate: help guide FTC Solar through its next phase of growth.In this conversation, Anthony shares lessons from across his career, why this is the right next opportunity for him, and why he believes execution, trust, and innovation will determine which companies thrive in the years ahead.Expect to learn:

This is an AI-generated episode of The Storage Marketplace Podcast, created from the first-ever Storage Meetup Show & Tell: AI & Automations, recorded live on June 5, 2026. Unlike a traditional webinar full of slides and talking heads, this event featured live demonstrations of AI tools, automations, and workflows that self-storage operators, managers, and vendors are using right now. In this episode, we explore: • AI-powered customer service and communication tools • Marketing automations designed to generate more leads and rentals • Operational workflows that reduce manual work and increase efficiency • Revenue management and optimization opportunities powered by AI • Real-world examples of automation being implemented inside self-storage businesses today • The biggest themes and takeaways from the industry's first AI-focused Show & Tell event The biggest takeaway:

What happens when software can be built and shipped faster than ever, but trust becomes the real challenge? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Dean Hickman-Smith, Chief Revenue Officer at Testlio, to discuss why software quality has become a boardroom issue in the age of AI.  As organizations race to release new features, deploy AI-powered experiences, and automate development workflows, the question is no longer whether software ships successfully. The question is whether customers can trust what they receive. Dean explains why human testers remain an essential part of the software development process, even as automation and AI continue to advance. We explore the limitations of synthetic testing environments, the growing importance of cultural context and demographic representation, and why real-world user experiences often expose problems that automated systems miss. From voice interfaces and regional dialects to accessibility and personalization, the conversation highlights the growing complexity of delivering reliable digital experiences. We also discuss the rising business risks associated with poor software quality. While cybersecurity often dominates headlines, Dean argues that failed updates, inaccurate AI responses, poor customer experiences, and software outages can be equally damaging to brand reputation and customer loyalty. He shares insights from Testlio's work with global organizations and explains why human insight continues to complement AI-driven testing rather than compete with it. The conversation also looks ahead to a future where AI-generated code becomes increasingly common. Will software testing become fully automated, or will specialist human expertise become even more valuable? Dean offers his perspective on how AI, automation, and human judgment can work together to create better digital experiences while helping organizations avoid costly mistakes. If your organization is building AI-powered products, managing customer-facing applications, or trying to balance speed with quality, this episode offers practical insights into why software testing remains one of the most important parts of the development process. What role do you think humans will play in software testing as AI continues to advance? Share your thoughts.

Automation as Core Strategy: Aarin Bailey on RPA, AI, and Scaling MSP OperationsOn the Evolved Radio podcast, Todd interviews Aarin Bailey, COO at Webit Services and former COO at MSP Bots, about treating automation as a core MSP operating strategy. Aarin describes how his automation focus accelerated around COVID by chaining PowerShell scripts, later expanding into Python, GUIs, and modular systems connected via RESTful APIs, with much of the computation running outside the RMM on servers (including SQL and Python) while the RMM remains mainly a monitoring and job-push layer. They discuss whether RMM is a “zombie product,” the ongoing role of PSA/ticketing as a system of record, and managing complexity through separate modules and staff literacy in Python/RPA. Aarin explains build-vs-buy decisions driven by ROI and fit, cites automated triage/dispatch with ~98% accuracy and shifting token costs, argues AI should augment rather than replace humans, and emphasizes documentation, playbooks, and focusing on operational “bad” anomalies. They also cover client tolerance for AI, limiting client-facing AI after hallucinated ticket notes, skepticism about voice AI, and concerns about AI economics and subsidies.This episode is brought to you by Opsleader Pro.

I keep being accused of using AI. I've even been accused, more than once, of being AI-generated. So I owe you something better than irritation: an actual explanation of where I stand.In this episode, I work through the real concerns: the scraping of artists' work, the environmental cost, algorithmic bias, the fear of job displacement, the worry about deskilling, and argue that every one of them is a problem of how, not of whether. They are arguments for regulation, not for personal abstention. I talk about my own practice (yes, AI images sometimes; yes, Grammarly; no, not the writing or the thinking), about teaching at university in the middle of all this, and about why, as an anthropologist, I think this debate is really a debate about authorship and authenticity wearing a technological costume.The question, in the end, was never if AI. It was always, only, how.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Automation is changing the insurance industry, but technology alone will not create a scalable agency. Daniel Metcalf and Mike Stromsoe explore what agency owners must do to prepare their teams, leadership, and culture for an AI-enabled future. They discuss why technology should enhance human work rather than replace it, how agencies can attract and retain top-performing talent, and why tech-enabled producers are consistently outperforming their peers. Through practical examples and industry insights, they reveal how agency leaders can build organizations that scale through better systems, stronger leadership, and a clear vision for the future.Key Topics: Why AI should enhance human work instead of replacing it  The growing performance gap between tech-enabled and non-tech-enabled producers  How agency owners can prepare their teams for an AI-driven future  The role of leadership in creating a technology-forward culture  Why documented systems and workflows remain essential for scaling  How to identify and recruit tech-enabled A players  The importance of adaptability, coachability, and continuous learning  Using AI tools to improve hiring, interviewing, and talent acquisition  Why agency growth depends on combining great people with great technology  How creating financial freedom for team members strengthens culture and retentionConnect with Daniel:LinkedInWebsiteConnect with Mike: LinkedIn TwitterTechnology is creating opportunities that have never existed before, but agencies that thrive will be the ones that combine innovation with strong leadership and intentional culture. By embracing change, investing in A players, and building systems that support both people and technology, agency owners can create scalable businesses that deliver greater results for clients, teams, and themselves.

What if agentic AI makes SRE more important, not less? Bennett Gould explains why autonomous AI systems may create more demand for reliability thinking — not less.Everyone seems to think AI is coming for SRE in a hard way.You might have heard the same story:“AI will write the code.”“Agents will handle incidents.”“Copilots will generate the runbooks.”“Automation will reduce operational load.”Yes, the job question is real. If AI can write code, summarize incidents, query observability tools, generate runbooks, and operate across systems, then engineers are right to ask what happens to the work.But here's the part that gets missed: AI does not just automate reliability work. It creates more objects and surface areas that need to be made reliable.Agentic AI is moving from demos into real workflows. These systems are no longer just answering questions. They are querying tools, pulling context, generating changes, and in some cases taking action around production environments.That makes this a Monday morning problem.Teams are already using LLMs for incidents, documentation, observability, infrastructure, and operational decision-making. Somewhere, a team is one demo away from giving an agent access to tools originally designed for humans.That is exactly why I wanted to have this conversation.Bennett Gould is currently a solution engineer at Neubird.ai. His career in SRE and SRE-adjacent work spans large enterprises, cloud, industrial technology, and startups, including AWS, IBM, Siemens, and a YC startup.I wanted to ask him a simple question: What in the agentic AI is happening to SRE?Here are 3 highlights from our talk:1. Agentic AI increases the reliability surface areaThe obvious fear is that AI reduces the need for reliability engineers. Bennett's view was more nuanced. He was clear that engineers still need to adapt. If people do not reskill, stay current, and learn how these systems are forming, there may absolutely be pressure in the job market. But he also argued that AI could create more demand for reliability skills because production complexity is increasing.More code is going into production.More AI-generated code is going into production.More systems that people do not fully understand are going into production.And now autonomous agents are starting to enter production workflows too.That means more surface area. More automation. More operational uncertainty. More ways for things to go wrong.Bennett compared this to Terraform: Infrastructure as code created enormous efficiency gains. But it also created new ways to make very big mistakes very quickly.Before Terraform, most people could not delete all their production resources with a single command. After Terraform, that became technically possible if the system was designed badly enough.Agentic AI follows a similar pattern. With great automation comes great responsibility.Agents can help engineers move faster, query tools, summarize context, and reduce toil. But they can also amplify weak engineering practices, poor boundaries, bad assumptions, and unclear operational ownership. That is not the end of reliability work. That is reliability work entering a new phase.2. Agents can reduce toil, but context is the ceilingOne of the strongest parts of the conversation was Bennett's explanation of where agents can help in incident response. A lot of SRE work involves moving across tools.You may need to query Prometheus, Dynatrace, logs, traces, cloud consoles, ticketing systems, documentation, runbooks, dashboards, and architecture diagrams.The problem is not always that the engineer lacks judgment.Sometimes the problem is that the information is scattered across too many tools, each with its own query language and interface. Bennett gave a simple example: an engineer might be very good at PromQL and very fast when Prometheus is the source of truth. But if the same engineer has to work in a different observability platform with a different query language, their response time can suffer. That is an obvious place where agents can help.The engineer may not need to know every query language perfectly. They need to know what they are looking for and how to reason about the system. The agent can help translate that intent into the right tool calls, queries, and summaries.That could reduce MTTR. It could reduce toil. It could help engineers move faster during incidents.But Bennett also made the limitation clear: You are only as good as the context you have. This is where he introduced two useful concepts:* Context mining* Context distillationContext mining means proactively finding the information that might be useful in a given operational situation.Context distillation means taking large amounts of information — runbooks, Confluence pages, diagrams, documentation, prior incidents — and reducing it into the minimum useful context an LLM or agent can use.That sounds powerful. But there is a catch. Sometimes the context simply is not there.Many of the largest and most complex organizations still run legacy systems where knowledge lives in people's heads, stale documentation, tribal memory, and unwritten assumptions.There may not be a clean process for turning that into usable context. That matters because agents do not magically understand your system. They work with the context they are given. If the context is missing, outdated, or wrong, the agent's usefulness maxes out early.3. Agentic systems are not just LLM demosA basic LLM workflow is relatively easy to demo:You give it a prompt.You connect a few tools.You add some APIs.You get a useful answer.That is impressive, but it is not the same thing as running an agentic system in a meaningful production environment.Bennett made a useful analogy here: running your own infrastructure versus using a hyperscaler.Cloud providers removed a lot of undifferentiated heavy lifting. Most companies do not want to spend half their time racking servers, managing data centers, and dealing with low-level infrastructure when they are trying to serve customers.Agentic systems create similar questions:* What parts of the work should be handled by the system?* What parts still need engineering discipline?* And what has to exist around the model before it is safe and useful?That surrounding structure is where the real work begins. Bennett called this harness engineering. Once you move beyond an LLM demo, you have to think about memory, learning, tool usage, identity, federation, security, evaluations, and guardrails.That is a very different problem from “the model gave a good answer on my laptop.” SREs know why that distinction matters. “It works on my machine” is not an acceptable reliability strategy.A runbook that recovers a thousand-node database cannot be non-deterministic, undocumented, and dependent on someone's local setup. If it is part of the operational backbone, it needs to be reliable.Agentic AI does not remove that requirement. It makes it more important.Bonus: Agents expose weak engineering practicesAgentic AI not only introduces new problems but it also reveals old ones.* Weak APIs.* Brittle runbooks.* Missing context.* Poor evals.* Unclear tool boundaries.* Operational shortcuts.Systems that were designed assuming careful human use may behave very differently when AI agents start using them. That is why this conversation matters for SRE.Agentic AI is not only a productivity story. It is a reliability story.It forces teams to ask whether their existing practices are strong enough for a world where more actions can be generated, recommended, or executed by autonomous systems.The silver lining for reliability workAgentic AI does not remove the need for reliability thinking. It raises the bar for it. The tools will change. The workflows will change. Some tasks will absolutely be automated or reshaped.But the hardest parts of reliability are still the hard parts:* understanding the system* knowing the trade-offs* building reliable operational processes* making good judgment calls under uncertainty and* owning the outcome when something changes in productionThat is why SRE does not disappear in an agentic AI world.It becomes one of the disciplines that makes the agentic AI world survivable.So if your team is already using AI around incidents, observability, runbooks, infrastructure, or production workflows, the question is not whether the future is coming. The future is already in the workflow.The real question is whether your reliability practices are ready for it. This is a public episode.

When Disneyland opened to the public in 1955, visionary engineers and designers transformed technologies of the postwar assembly line into extraordinary entertainment experiences. In his new book, "Disneyland and the Rise of Automation: How Technology Created the Happiest Place on Earth," Roland Betancourt examines how the Magic Kingdom introduced the world to the large-scale realities of industrial automation. The UC Irvine Chancellor's Professor of art history put seven years of archival research into a book that appeals to fans of Disney and popular culture as well as people interested in engineering and corporate histories. In this episode of The UC Irvine Podcast, Betancourt will discuss his unique journey from medievalist to authoritative voice on the technology powering the Happiest Place on Earth and connect 1950s anxieties about automation with today's concerns about artificial intelligence. Just in time for summer, he'll tell us what we shouldn't miss the next time we visit the theme park, and he'll share why he's enthused to return to teaching the class he created – Disneyland: Art, Architecture and Operation – this fall. “Inevitable Hope,” the music that introduces this episode, was provided by RKVC via the audio library in YouTube Studio. Betancourt recorded the various sounds from rides and attractions at Disneyland during a visit to the theme park.

AI can finally write back to the plant floor, but only if you can trust it. Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu of Siemens explain how orchestration makes that safe.Industrial AI has reached a turning point. Manufacturers can already collect data, contextualize it, and surface insights, but the hardest step has always been turning insight into action on real control equipment. Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu of Siemens explain how an orchestration layer finally closes that loop. Annemarie frames the tension clearly. Automation depends on determinism, while large language models are probabilistic by design, so the goal is to bring that discipline into AI and validate any suggestion before it changes a set point.Most executive conversations start with return on investment, and two forces are making the case easier to prove. The workforce shortage has stretched the expected payback window from 18 months toward 36 months, and when a line cannot run for lack of people every idle minute costs thousands of dollars. The other driver is overall equipment effectiveness, since most plants run near 70 percent OEE and even a fraction of a percent of gain can justify a project. Energy is a standout case too. A BorgWarner sustainability effort used a digital twin to flatten demand peaks and reportedly paid for itself in under six months, even as data center growth pushes electricity demand higher through 2040.On trust and safety, Annemarie borrows a principle from industrial safety. Just as fail safe IO modules rely on two channel evaluation, every AI suggestion is validated against a state machine, a workflow, or a physics based digital twin before the orchestration layer passes it to a controller. With virtual commissioning and soft PLCs a change can be tested virtually, approved by a human in the loop, and only then written to control, an approach PepsiCo and NVIDIA echoed at CES when they called the digital twin a must have. Making AI real, the pair argue, comes down to discipline, clear scope, acceptance criteria, and focused 90 day challenges, plus the change management and user experience that drive adoption. Their favorite quick win is preventive maintenance driven by machine data, which both BorgWarner and Maersk tied to millions in savings.About Chris StevensChris Stevens is President of US Automation at Siemens, where he leads a roughly one billion dollar business spanning software, services, and hardware. He brings more than 25 years across Siemens Digital Industries, starting in the field selling assembly and test equipment, moving into the software and digital twin world, and returning to automation to bring the hardware and software sides of the business together.About Annemarie BreuAnnemarie Breu is a senior technology leader at Siemens Digital Industries focused on automation software deployment and customer technology partnerships in the US. She began at Siemens about a decade ago as a systems engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area, working with consumer electronics manufacturers on virtual commissioning and digital twins. Her work today centers on bringing the determinism and reliability of automation into industrial AI.Timestamps0:00 Introduction and Automate 2026 preview2:50 Meet Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu9:30 The first AI question is always ROI14:00 Workforce gaps and OEE drive the business case19:30 Energy management and the data center demand surge23:20 Data, sensors, and contextualization requirements28:00 Guardrails, hallucinations, and two channel validation32:40 The digital twin and the human in the loop37:40 How partners and integrators move up the stack45:30 What it takes to make AI real on the floor55:50 Preventive maintenance as a quick win59:40 Predictions, career advice, and book picksAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.

Communities and businesses often rely on outdated systems that are difficult to scale and maintain. What would it take to transform this broken infrastructure into an intelligent, connected energy network? According to Bill Lenihan, an entrepreneur and operator focused on energy access in emerging markets, the key lies in turning inefficient, fragmented systems into streamlined, intelligent platforms without needing to fully replace what already exists. He highlights the evolution from distributing solar-powered hardware in remote regions to building a data-driven, software-enabled model that improves deployment, maintenance, and financing. A major turning point came when large-scale operational challenges revealed the limits of manual coordination, accelerating a shift toward automation and intelligence. This approach has enabled more scalable, affordable, and sustainable energy access while improving outcomes for end users and operators alike. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Bill Lenihan, Founder and CEO of ZOLAi, to discuss building an AI-native enterprise to solve global energy challenges. They explore the shift from hardware to software-driven energy services, how automation and AI scale infrastructure in emerging markets, and how data unlocks financing and access. Bill also shares insights on enterprise sales, telecom partnerships, and building a board with relevant operating expertise.

The engineering student who spent three summers doing door-to-door sales training with Zig Ziglar just revealed the system that generates four times normal revenue quotas without a single cold call. Ronald Bolden Jr. built his entire business around one controversial belief: don't buy leads, buy systems. After watching corporate America push cold calling strategies that made him uncomfortable, he developed an entirely different approach that eliminates the need for outbound prospecting altogether. What he discovered will challenge everything you think you know about sales and revenue generation.Ronald's "shy marketing" philosophy isn't just about helping introverts succeed in sales-it's about recognizing that the most sustainable business growth comes from strategic partnerships, AI-powered systems, and making prospects so comfortable they can't help but engage. He shares the exact confrontation with his boss that changed his entire career trajectory, why he only accepts 3 podcast interviews out of 200 requests, and the foundational system that answers prospect questions 24/7 without human intervention.

The upfront marketplace has long been built on relationships and negotiation. Now, automation and AI are changing how deals get done.

Today on the Uplevel Dairy Podcast, Peggy sits down with Sam Fessenden, a Cornell dairy science graduate with a PhD focused on the CNCPS model who worked with nutritionists globally before partnering with his wife Brenda and her parents, Craig and Cathy, to rebuild dairying at their Southeast Minnesota site.In this conversation, Sam shares early mentorship near Cornell, how consulting and barn tours informed their tech-forward design, and how they converted a former 70-stall stanchion operation into a 120-cow, sand-bedded, two-robot, largely automated free-flow barn launched in 2020 while welcoming their first child. He discusses feeding non-pelleted homegrown corn through robots, lessons from managing cows daily (manure observation and feed inventory realities), choosing open-minded advisors, patience in growth decisions, guidance for generational transition, resilience through cost control, extra acres, and value-added black calf raising, and how faith and family motivate raising three kids on the farm.This Episode is brought to you by AdisseoThis episode is sponsored by Uplevel Dairy Podcast Founding Partner Adisseo, a global leader in nutritional solutions and premier provider of rumen-protected methionine for dairy producers who want to optimize milk production, capture more value from components, and maintain the health of their high-performing herds.

By Doug Green “EnvisionDX helps you from the entire lifecycle — from adding a new site and getting a quote going, all the way through service delivery, monitoring and management.” In this Technology Reseller News Podcast, I spoke with Laura Lehman, Director of Digital Experience Product Management at GTT, about GTT EnvisionDX and how the platform is changing the way enterprises and partners quote, order and manage complex networking and security services. For enterprise IT teams and channel partners, one of the persistent challenges in global networking has been fragmentation. Quoting new services, validating site addresses, checking availability, managing installs and monitoring service performance have often required multiple systems, manual processes and repeated follow-up. Lehman explained that EnvisionDX was built to bring those workflows into a single digital experience. The platform provides visibility across the full lifecycle of a customer's network services, from initial quote through delivery and ongoing management. A key part of the discussion focused on real-time information. EnvisionDX allows users to see site-level details, service status, utilization and other operational data in one place. That matters because enterprise networks are increasingly distributed, with customers managing multiple locations, providers, security requirements and service types. Lehman also discussed one of the most common pain points in telecom quoting: address validation. EnvisionDX uses multiple address-validation tools, map-based views and latitude/longitude data to help users confirm exactly where a service is needed. The system allows a user to adjust a location pin on a map, helping improve quoting accuracy and reduce the risk of rework later in the process. The platform also highlights GTT's use of AI-powered tools to streamline partner and customer workflows. EnvisionDX supports more automated quoting and ordering processes, while giving users clearer visibility into the location, service and operational details that often determine whether a deployment goes smoothly. For partners, the result is a faster, more transparent quoting process. For enterprises, the benefit is greater confidence that services are being quoted, ordered and delivered based on accurate location and site-level information. The broader message is that enterprise networking is moving away from fragmented service portals and manual workflows toward unified digital platforms. EnvisionDX is GTT's effort to simplify that experience, giving customers and partners a clearer view of what they have, what they need and what is happening across their network.

If you're tired of gimmicks and want to understand how AI can truly drive revenue, efficiency, and scale, this episode is a must-listen.

Show Notes: Lana Newishy, founder of Hey Intake, explains that Hey Intake is one of several startups she has founded, which focuses on improving the client experience in the initial stages of a project. The Client Intake Process Lana  highlights common issues in the client intake process, such as disorganized communication, missing information, and inefficient discovery calls. She emphasizes the loss of opportunities due to inefficient intake processes and the need for a structured system. Lead Qualification and Filtering Issues Lana discusses the broken lead qualification process, where consultants often react to discovery calls without proper filtering. She points out information asymmetry, where clients don't know what to share, and consultants don't ask the right questions consistently.  Streamlining the Intake Process Lana mentions the fragmentation of tools, such as emails, documents, CRM systems, and file sharing, which are not connected in a single flow. She introduces the idea of a single, structured flow from first contact to service completion to streamline the intake process. A Demonstration of Hey Intake Lana shares her screen to demonstrate the Hey Intake dashboard, which includes tabs for dashboard, submissions, contacts, form builder, email templates, automations, analytics, team settings, and support. Dashboard Lana explains the AI-driven suggestions on the dashboard, which prioritize tasks based on the current stage of the intake process. Submissions Window She demonstrates the submissions window, which categorizes submissions into lead phase, intake phase, and service phase, and provides AI scores for prioritization. Lana continues to explain the submissions window, showing how submissions are scored and prioritized based on AI analysis.    Submissions Drawer She demonstrates the submission drawer, which allows users to update the phase of a contact, request documents, and send e-signatures. Lana mentions the form builder, which allows users to create custom forms with various templates and fields. She explains the flexibility of adding fields, customizing inputs, and setting AI scoring weights to prioritize requests. Integrating with CRM Systems Lana discusses the ability to integrate Hey Intake with existing CRM systems and legal project management tools. She explains that some clients prefer to keep their existing systems and connect them with Hey Intake for a seamless process.    Form Builder When asked about the form builder,  Lana demonstrates how to create and customize forms, including adding fields, customizing branding, and setting up automations. She highlights the importance of keeping forms simple and quick to fill out to avoid discouraging potential clients.  Email Templates Library Email Templates Library Lana demonstrates the email templates library, which includes pre-built templates and the ability to edit them manually or with AI. She emphasizes the flexibility of the system to meet the specific needs of different clients and businesses.  Automations Tab Lana introduces the automations tab, which shows the flows for various actions, such as sending emails, requesting documents, and following up on actions. She explains how to set up custom automations and toggle them on and off. The Vendor Setup System Lana explains how Hey Intake helps with vendor setup, including requesting documents, managing client portals, and handling e-signatures.   Uploading Documents She demonstrates the process of uploading documents for e-signatures and integrating with services like DocuSign and SignWell. Lana highlights the native storage options and the ability to connect with clients' private storage facilities. She emphasizes the importance of streamlining the onboarding process to save time and reduce administrative burdens. Hey Intake Customer Base Lana discusses the current customer base, which includes law firms, accountants, photographers, home renovators, and B2B consultants. She mentions the potential to focus on specific verticals in the future based on data collection and user feedback. The conversation turns to the development process, and Lana explains that she has a development team based in Canada that helps build B2B AI-based solutions. Lana highlights the structured validation process and the importance of a framework for successful development and launch. Hey Intake Pricing Lana provides information about the pricing of Hey Intake, which starts at $16 per month for the annual plan and $19.40 per month for the monthly plan. She mentions the availability of an enterprise tier for custom solutions.

Regulatory volatility, scientific‑grade context requirements, and entrenched legacy processes are creating a level of operational complexity in pharma that makes even high‑value AI initiatives difficult to move from concept to production. In this episode, Art Shectman, CEO at Elephant Ventures, examines with host Marilie Fouché how leaders can cut through that complexity by isolating a single, clearly defined workflow slice and rebuilding it for near‑term, dependable deployment rather than long‑range architectural perfection. The discussion highlights how removing outdated process assumptions, selecting an atomic workflow with organizational alignment, and aiming for a contained operational win enable pharma teams to build momentum and scale AI responsibly in highly regulated environments. Learn how consultants are winning business with evidence-based AI ROI and building long-term capabilities instead of chasing short-term gains.

AI is changing how people discover, evaluate, trust, buy, create, hire, and compete. The bigger question is whether your business model is built to survive a future where attention is fragmented, trust is harder to earn, execution is easier to automate, and buyers have more options than ever. Learn how to activate the M.A.S.S. Effect Business Model, a strategic ecosystem built around: • Media to create attention, trust, authority, and discoverability • Assets to create scalability, leverage, and income beyond your direct time • Strategy to create clarity, alignment, interpretation, and better decisions • Systems to reduce friction, support consistency, and keep the business moving Many businesses are addicted to acquisition because they never built retention. In an AI accelerated world, that becomes dangerous because information is easier to access, skills are being compressed, and execution is becoming automated. The real value now shifts toward trust, experience, clarity, influence, systems, and community. The future belongs to adaptive businesses that can evolve with the market, keep customers connected, turn trust into retention, and scale without breaking the founder, team, or customer experience. If your business grew tomorrow, could it actually hold the growth, or would the model collapse under the weight of what you asked for?
