Eric Yuan turned a simple belief into Zoom, the platform that kept the world moving through a once-in-a-century shutdown and redefined modern work. On this episode of Grit, the Zoom CEO shares why velocity beats size, how a family-first ethos powered his leadership during COVID, and why the coming wave of AI dwarfs the original internet boom. He details how he's refreshing Zoom's culture for 7,500 people, opting for virtual deal calls over in person meetings, settling into life as an empty-nester, and keeping Zoom nimble enough to outpace Big Tech and the next wave of AI startups.Guest: Eric S.

Send us a textWhat happens when raw talent meets determination? Dalton Hicks, a rising country music artist from South Carolina, joins us for a heartfelt conversation that traces his musical journey from his great-grandmother's piano to Nashville's recording studios.Dalton opens up about the profound influence his grandmother Olga had on his musical beginnings, sharing how her passion for piano sparked his own love for music. When she passed away, he channeled that connection into creating songs that would make her proud. This relationship forms the emotional foundation for his authentic approach to songwriting.We dive deep into Dalton's creative process, exploring how he crafts songs independently—starting with lyrics and developing melodies that feel true to his experiences. Unlike many Nashville artists, he writes alone, allowing his genuine voice to shine through in every track. His latest release is approaching an impressive 400,000 streams without promotional investment, a testament to the authentic connection he's building with listeners.The conversation takes us to Nashville, where Dalton recorded at the now-demolished Omni studio with renowned producer Bill McDermott. Working alongside session musicians who've played for country's biggest names marked a pivotal moment in his career. Now with professional management behind him after being discovered on Instagram, Dalton candidly discusses navigating the business side of music while staying true to his artistic vision.What stands out most is Dalton's mission to inspire through music. "I want to be the person to bring the moments out of the gutter. I want to inspire people to get out of the gutter and have a happy life," he explains with genuine conviction. His desire to be more than "just another country singer" reflects his commitment to creating meaningful art that resonates beyond typical genre conventions.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.com Support the show

Join me as I explore how AI is revolutionizing businesses and creating an unprecedented era of hyper-innovation!

AI's Role in Business Transformation (00:59)Bill McDermott notes a shift in CEOs from mere fascination with AI to AI-led business strategies. He sees ServiceNow's role in AI transformation as being that of a "control tower." AI has impacted several business areas including customer service, supply chains, employee onboarding, and risk mitigation. It's also a great tool for labor arbitrage. That's not to mention that AI agents can operate 24/7 without breaks, complementing human efforts.Agentic AI, A Holistic Solution (04:01)Agentic AI is on the rise and will serve customers, employees, and operations, taking over tasks computers handle more efficiently than humans. While current AI agents are often siloed within departments, ServiceNow's platform integrates these agents across the enterprise, offering a holistic solution. "So now you have the agents working together to accomplish something," McDermott says, "as opposed to just doing something for one function." The foundation for this integration lies in a unified data model and architecture.Customer Trust and Innovation (06:53)Trust is the ultimate human currency. Without it, McDermott says, there's no progress. Customers know they can trust ServiceNow and its technology. He mentions its investments in customer success programs, innovation accelerators, and strategic partnerships to drive business impact. Net new innovation must be delivered to customers, employees, and shareholders through both traditional and new consumption models.Partnerships and Integration (10:29)McDermott discusses ServiceNow's partnerships and the potential for a multi-cloud approach similar to the infrastructure side. He's confident in the market's ability to accommodate multiple players and points to expanded collaborations with Cognizant, NVIDIA, and others. He talks about ServiceNow's integration with hyper-scalers including Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud, showcasing the benefits of a comprehensive platform for business processes. "We're open, and we integrate with everybody."Balancing Trust and Innovation (14:29)Balancing trust and innovation in the AI era is a challenge as ServiceNow becomes increasingly embedded in customers' operations. McDermott emphasizes the value of trusted partnerships and selective collaboration to sustain customer trust. He highlights ServiceNow's partnership with NVIDIA and its recognition in the American Opportunity Index, which measures employee prosperity post-employment.The Future of Work and AI (16:34)In the future, AI will revolutionize work by reducing monotonous tasks and freeing up time for innovation. ServiceNow is part of creating that future, already using AI to simplify complex workflows, saving employees significant time and allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks. "This is a renaissance moment for the workers. They get to get rid of the soul-crushing work that they've never wanted to do anyway." Reskilling the workforce will be necessary for this revolution and is being done through initiatives like ServiceNow University and the AI Institute.

Guest: Dan Streetman, CEO of TaniumA graduate of West Point who served in Iraq combat operations, Tanium CEO Dan Streetman can't help but compare his business career to his military experience. Understanding huge structures and processes is a crucial skill at both Tanium and in the Army, he says, as are the skills for aligning people around a shared mission.“Before you go on an operation, you write a thing called an operations order ... [and] one of the most important things at the operations order is this paragraph called the commander's intent,” he explains, “which describes how you believe the mission is going to be accomplished and why it's important.”“You may end up doing something completely different. But as long as you understand the mission and the commander's intent, the organization can do amazing things.”Chapters:(01:05) - Election Day (02:44) - Ranger School (06:42) - Parenting and business school (09:59) - Military structures (12:27) - Serving in Iraq (15:59) - Back to normal life (21:37) - Working out (24:14) - Quality sleep (26:37) - Non-founder CEOs (31:35) - Getting the job (35:56) - Earning respect (38:49) - TIBCO (43:40) - Redline (46:37) - Going public (53:54) - Time horizons (58:35) - Free AI (01:03:11) - Whar “grit” mans to Dan (01:03:40) - Who Tanium is hiring Mentioned in this episode: Ronald Reagan, Terri Streetman, Ironman Triathlons, Jeff Bezos and Amazon, Stanley McChrystal, Jon Abizaid, Charles Jacoby, Thomas Siebel and C3, Salesforce, Bill McDermott, Carl Eschenbach, Marc Benioff, Garmin, Mark McLaughlin, Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke, World Series of Poker, Amdocs, David and Orion Hindawi, Citrix, Harvard University, Pets.com, Ben Horowitz, Vista Equity Partners, Vivek Ranadivé, Robert Smith, Operation Warp Speed, BreakLine, Bipul Sinha and Rubrik, Mikhail Gorbachev, F.

At Zoom's annual partner and customer event, Zoomtopia 2024,?ServiceNow?(NYSE: NOW) and Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) announced an expanded strategic alliance to usher in a new era of intelligence with smarter collaboration and peak productivity across the enterprise. The two companies' generative AI (GenAI) technologies, ServiceNow Now Assist and Zoom AI Companion, will integrate in the first half of 2025 to offer organisations advanced workflow automation for tasks and activities across Zoom and ServiceNow. Organisations are seeing increased demand for AI tools that work across their critical business applications and allow employees to be more productive and keep projects moving forward. As stated by Gartner, "The employee community is ready to go, as 92% of employees say they want AI to help them with administrative tasks and to summarise information on a particular topic."1 Through this new integration, GenAI will help shorten and streamline that process. "CEOs are transitioning from AI fascination to AI-led business strategies, for exponential improvements in how their companies run," said Bill McDermott, chairman and CEO of ServiceNow. "ServiceNow and Zoom share a goal to supercharge teamwork. Our new integration goes from conversation to immediate action, saving time and freeing up resources so employees can focus on the work that matters most." "Through our enhanced collaboration with ServiceNow, we continue to deliver seamless interactions across both platforms with GenAI capabilities and embedded user interfaces," said Eric S. Yuan, founder and CEO of Zoom. "Integrating Zoom AI Companion with ServiceNow takes productivity to the next level, empowering customers to move seamlessly from meetings to productivity, reducing admin time and streamlining workflows." Two generative AI tools, one intuitive experience to supercharge efficiency GenAI creates seamless information flow between the places where teams collaborate. For example, a team starts a virtual meeting where they discuss and collaborate on multiple aspects of a project. Through this new integration, the Zoom AI Companion will summarize and transcribe the team's discussion, with permission, and turn action items into tasks connected to ServiceNow workflows. After the meeting, AI Companion can work with Now Assist for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM), ServiceNow's GenAI enabled solution, to trigger the proper workflows, helping teams with next steps like automatically creating tickets, and assigning them to team members. Email notifications will then be sent to attendees with insights from the meeting, along with an auto-generated summary of post-meeting deliverables. This new announcement expands upon the ServiceNow-Zoom partnership and integrations. With this integration, ServiceNow and Zoom will take unstructured conversations and transform them into structured data connected to intelligent workflows. Availability The integration requires the purchase of both Zoom's custom AI Companion add-on and ServiceNow Now Assist. The custom Zoom AI Companion add-on announced today will be generally available in the first half of 2025. See more stories here.

Episode 42 | ServiceNow's AI Partner StrategyThe Big Themes:Shift in ecosystem strategy: Companies like ServiceNow are shifting from viewing partners as mere distributors or implementers to integral parts of their business strategy. This shift emphasizes collaboration and joint value creation rather than just sales margins, marking a significant evolution in how large vendors approach their partner ecosystems.Types of ServiceNow partners: ServiceNow partners are categorized into four main groups: resellers, service providers, consulting and implementation partners, and build partners. Each type utilizes AI differently and contributes to the ecosystem uniquely.Emphasis on proof and customer satisfaction: Amid the excitement around AI and ecosystem expansion, there's a strong emphasis on tangible results and customer satisfaction. Potential customers are advised to verify partner capabilities through proof of successful projects and customer references. Due diligence is critical in selecting partners for AI-driven initiatives.The Big Quote: "It's no longer about 'How can I reduce expenses?' or caring about the bottom line. I think it's this realization that customers have to say, 'How can I use the art of what's possible now with AI to make ourselves into the next Uber or Airbnb and change what we're doing in our industry?'"
