Kevin Werbach interviews Karine Perset, Acting Head of the OECD's AI and Emerging Technology Division, about the global effort to shape responsible AI. Perset explains how the OECD—an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries—has become a central forum for governments to cooperate on complex, interdependent challenges like AI. Since launching its AI foresight forum in 2016, the OECD has spearheaded two cornerstone initiatives: the OECD Recommendation on AI, the first intergovernmental standard adopted in 2019, and OECD.AI, a policy observatory that tracks global trends, policies, and metrics. Perset highlights the organization's unique role in convening evidence-based dialogue across governments, experts, and stakeholders worldwide. She describes the challenge of reconciling diverse national approaches while developing common tools, like a global incident-reporting framework and over 250 indicators that measure AI maturity across investment, research, infrastructure, and workforce skills. She underscores both the urgency and the opportunity: AI systems are diffusing rapidly across all sectors, powered by common algorithms that create shared risks. Without aligned safeguards and interoperable standards, countries risk repeating one another's mistakes. Yet if governments can coordinate, share data responsibly, and support one another's policy development, AI can strengthen economic resilience, innovation, and public trust. Karine Perset is the Acting Head of the OECD AI and Emerging Digital Technologies Division, where she oversees the OECD.AI Policy Observatory, the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) & integrated network of experts as well as the OECD Global Forum on Emerging Technologies. She oversees the development of analysis, policies and tools inline with the OECD AI Principles. She also helps governments manage the opportunities and challenges that AI and emerging technologies raise for governments. Previously she was Advisor to ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee and Counsellor of the OECD's Science, Technology and Industry Director. OECD.ai   

This week, I'm continuing the conversation we started in Episode 190 about workplace silos. In Part 1, we explored what silos are, how they form, and the impact they have if left unchecked. Now, in Part 2, I'm sharing the practical side: The Blueprint for Building Bridges. I'll walk you through the four components - Vision, Awareness, Adaptation, and Activation - along with the glue that holds them together: curiosity and compassion. We'll talk about how communication becomes the bridge, why awareness is truly the pixie dust of leadership, and how intentional action helps dissolve silos. If you're ready to create stronger connections, improve collaboration, and shift from working in isolation to working in partnership, this episode is for you. Enjoy!

Description:The number one thing is relationships – we've all heard that. It's almost a meme. I think “the power of relationships” as an idea exists as two extremes where we tend to over emphasize and at the same time fail to appreciate the full power of relationships.

BONUS: The Platform-as-Product Revolution: How to Turn Your Biggest Cost Center Into Your Secret Weapon With Alvaro Lorente In this BONUS episode we explore a topic that's creating a lot of discussion—and sometimes confusion—in the software community: Platform Teams vs DevOps. In this conversation, we dive into Alvaro Lorente's journey from delivery teams to platform leadership, exploring how to treat platforms as products, avoid common pitfalls, and build bridges between engineering and product leadership. The Evolution from DevOps Role to Platform Team "DevOps is a culture, not a role." Alvaro's journey into platform work began when he joined a company where the infrastructure team was left behind and struggling with traditional DevOps approaches. Initially, they had a single DevOps person who became a bottleneck rather than an enabler. This experience highlighted a fundamental misunderstanding that many organizations face—treating DevOps as a job title rather than a cultural shift toward collaboration and shared responsibility. The team experimented with a "DevOps buddy" approach, placing experienced individuals within each delivery team, before eventually consolidating into a dedicated platform team with the clear intention of treating it as a product-focused unit. Platform as a Product: A Scaling Strategy "Platform as a product is a scaling strategy. Look for common problems that you can then solve once, and serve many." The concept of treating platforms as products emerged from recognizing that feature delivery teams have continuity and ongoing needs that a platform team should serve. Rather than solving their own problems first, successful platform teams focus on making other teams' work easier and more comfortable while managing costs effectively. This approach requires identifying common problems across multiple teams and creating solutions that can be implemented once but serve many. The key insight is that platform teams exist to facilitate the delivery of value in a scalable way for other teams, not to pursue their own technical interests. Understanding Your Customer and Validating Value "I want to see platform team members talking to their customers. Understand their pains, and what they struggle with." Effective platform teams operate like any other product team by actively listening to their customer-teams rather than pushing ideas onto them. This means platform team members should regularly engage with their internal customers to understand pain points and struggles. Success requires defining clear KPIs for the platform and focusing on the quality of deliverables including release notes, demos, bug fixing processes, and feature prioritization. The validation comes from observing whether teams willingly adopt platform features rather than being mandated to use them. Building Bridges with Product Leadership "Focus on the key impact and value that the platform team can bring to the company." Making the case for investing product talent in platform teams requires demonstrating concrete business value. This includes quantifying how many incidents are being resolved faster or prevented entirely, and highlighting the money saved through internal platform development versus external solutions. Platform work offers excellent growth opportunities for Product Owners, serving as a training ground for product thinking and stakeholder management. The focus should always be on measurable impact rather than technical complexity. Avoiding Common Platform Team Traps "Don't just start working on what you think is important! Start with the Product process, listen to the client-teams, and help them directly." When standing up a platform team, several critical mistakes can derail success. The most important trap to avoid is immediately diving into what the platform team thinks is important without first understanding customer needs. Platform teams should resist delivery pressure that might compromise quality and never mandate adoption of their features—teams should want to use what the platform provides. Treating the platform as a genuine product with quality standards is essential, and leaders should view the creation of a platform team as the beginning of a change management process rather than just a technical reorganization. Resources and Continuous Learning "One size does NOT fit all!" For teams looking to improve their platform work, Alvaro recommends Camille Fournier's work on platform teams and resources focused on "The value of product thinking in platform teams." The key is to get experiments running within your team and recognize that there's no universal solution—each organization must find its own path based on its unique context and needs. About Alvaro Lorente Currently Director of Engineering at Voxel (an Amadeus company), Alvaro is a software engineer who has grown in the people leadership path, experimenting with everything from product development to startups and open source projects.

The message was delivered on Sunday, August 10th, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. What if unity didn't require uniformity? While fundamentalist religions across the globe insist that harmony comes through conformity to one doctrine, a different path emerges—one where Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and Christians can pray under the same roof without abandoning their distinct traditions.

Winning the $150,000 Building Bridges to Better Health challenge, his program blends community paramedics, telehealth, and partnerships with federally qualified health centers and social service organizations to close care gaps beyond traditional EMS responses.

He highlights the crucial role of public health in community needs assessments and stresses the urgent need to address mental health within EMS, sharing personal stories and calling for cultural change. As president of the Missouri EMS Association and chair of the NAEMT Economics Committee, Duncan emphasizes teamwork, mentorship and engagement at all levels—from local agencies to Capitol Hill—to shape the future of EMS and ensure sustainable, patient-centered care.

Working Across Differences in Politics: "I can work with people, and still it goes back to what we were saying earlier. I can work with people and still disagree with them on things, but maybe I need to." - Scott SweitzerWe sit down with Scott Sweitzer—a longtime political consultant and entrepreneur whose journey bridges the worlds of politics and microbrewing. Scott shares how a simple night of beer tasting with friends led him to co-found a brewery, while continuing his 25-year career navigating the highs and lows of American politics.We talk about the powerful emotions that drive today's increasingly divided political arena, explore the complexities of building bridges across differences, and talk about how tribalism in both politics and everyday life can separate us—or bring us together. Scott also opens up about his approach to helping candidates connect authentically with voters through storytelling and reflects on the personal challenges of staying grounded and empathetic in a profession marked by skepticism and heated debate.Plus, we touch on the impact of social media, the importance of curiosity, and how skills from entrepreneurship and consulting translate to everyday relationships. Whether you're interested in leadership, emotional intelligence, or are just a curious soul, this conversation is packed with insights, laughs, and some practical advice—including a heartfelt reminder that failure is part of learning and growth.Here are our top three takeaways:Curiosity Opens Doors: Scott emphasized the power of asking questions and being curious, both for personal growth and bridging divides. Stepping outside our echo chambers and seeking different perspectives can reshape our understanding and foster empathy.Emotional Connection is Key: Whether it's a political campaign or launching a new product, Scott underscored the importance of building genuine emotional connections. People are far more likely to buy in—to ideas, products, or candidates—when they feel heard and understood.Failure is Part of the Process: Scott's advice for entrepreneurs? Be willing to fail—and most importantly, learn from those failures. Growth comes from trying, stumbling, reflecting, and trying again.Key Moments05:12 The Cost of Political Tribalism09:23 Purposeful Living and Community Impact11:40 Rethinking Affirmative Action Globally14:56 Value of Elected Officials18:00 U.S. Government's Poor Decision-Making23:21 Collaborating Despite Differences24:25 Familiarity Breeds Skepticism28:07 "Emotional Connection in Politics"32:03 Profound Insight on Bill Maher35:33 "Escaping Reality and Its Risks"38:45 "Power of Personal Testimony"41:06 Embrace Failure to Succeed44:31 Overlooking Self-Empathy's Importance48:07 The Challenges of Personal GrowthIn each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Building Bridges Instead of Chasing Motivation July 28, 2025 | Episode 5146 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott ditches the motivational shtick today and gets real about what actually works. Forget the endless tips and tricks you've been collecting – it's time to build a solid bridge from where you are to where you want to go. He breaks down why raw motivation fails and why even the best productivity hacks won't get you there. The secret? Starting with a peaceful base and moving forward systematically, one day at a time. Featured Story After years of coaching and over 5,000 podcast episodes, Scott discovered that neither pure motivation nor endless tips and tricks actually work long-term. Life gets in the way every time. His breakthrough came when he started thinking of life as a bridge. You need a solid foundation where you are now (your peaceful base) before you can build toward where you want to go. This approach has transformed how he works with clients and why his coaching program Face Your Passion actually gets results. Important Points Your present foundation must be a "peaceful base" – if you can't pay bills, have relationship stress, or lack stability, fix that first before pursuing bigger dreams. Most people wait too long to make their move – when you're about 70 percent ready rather than 100 percent, that's your signal to leap. Building success requires maintaining your current foundation while systematically moving toward your goal, never going backwards, just steady forward progress. Memorable Quotes "You are the promise of your world. You're the one that creates your world." "When you get to about 70 percent being assured that you're ready to make the move, you go ahead and do it." "I'm going to figure out how to make motivation automatic." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ground yourself in reality by creating a peaceful base where you live right now – handle the stress, pay bills, and establish stability. Identify exactly what you want to build on the other side of your bridge and make sure that vision excites you. Start moving forward daily while maintaining your foundation, building systematically until you reach that 70 percent confidence point to make your leap.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Erin Gruwell sits down with Original Freedom Writer Brenda Zambrano to explore a story of survival, generational healing, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her children. Brenda bravely recounts her journey as an undocumented child crossing the border from Mexico, navigating life in a new country with fear, silence, and a sign around her neck because she couldn't speak English. From nights spent sleeping on park benches to finding her voice in the classroom, Brenda shares how education, motherhood, and forgiveness helped her break free from the trauma of her past. Now a proud parent of two thriving students—one of whom is a Freedom Writers Scholar—Brenda reflects on her path to healing, honoring her late mother, and creating the kind of home she never had.

Welcome to another insightful episode of The Grand Balance, where Angela and Sharon dive into the ever-evolving dynamics between grandmothers, daughters, and daughters-in-law. They explore the natural yet complex dynamics that arise between maternal and in-law grandparents, grounded by family history, proximity, and personal relationships. The episode emphasizes the significance of respectful communication, setting boundaries, and dispelling common misconceptions to ensure access and positive engagement with grandchildren. By drawing insights from a survey of fellow grandmothers, this discussion unveils practical ways to nurture a harmonious family environment. Join this engaging dialogue for valuable tips on reinforcing a supportive and inclusive family network.

The central theme of this discourse is the imperative nature of inquiry over assumption in our professional interactions. I emphasize the significance of asking questions, rather than presuming to know the thoughts and feelings of clients, colleagues, or escrow officers. Such assumptions often lead us astray, as they are mere constructs of our imagination, devoid of the reality we seek to comprehend. By fostering a culture of curiosity, we cultivate understanding and trust, thereby strengthening our relationships within the real estate domain. I implore you to embrace this practice, for it is through inquiry that we build connections, and through assumptions that we erect barriers.Engaging in a reflective discourse on the imperative of questioning rather than assuming, Bill Risser provides a thought-provoking examination of communication dynamics in the real estate industry. The episode illustrates how assumptions can lead to significant miscommunications, as we often craft narratives in our minds that do not align with reality. Risser posits that the courage to ask questions is fundamental not only to professional success but also to personal relationships. By invoking the wisdom of notable figures such as Don Miguel Ruiz and Stephen Covey, he reinforces the notion that understanding precedes being understood, a principle that is critical in navigating complex interactions within the real estate sector. The host adeptly weaves in cultural references, notably drawing parallels between his insights and the popular television series 'Ted Lasso.' By highlighting Ted's mantra of curiosity over judgment, Risser articulates a broader message about the necessity of empathy and inquiry in fostering trust. This thematic exploration culminates in a compelling argument for the transformative potential of questioning—both in terms of enhancing professional relationships and enriching personal interactions. Risser concludes with a clarion call for listeners to adopt this mindset, emphasizing that the simple act of asking questions can significantly alter the landscape of communication, ultimately leading to stronger connections and more fruitful outcomes in their professional endeavors.Takeaways: In the realm of real estate and interpersonal interactions, the imperative to ask questions supersedes the tendency to make assumptions, fostering clearer communication. Assumptions often lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, which can adversely affect relationships in both personal and professional spheres. The act of asking questions is a demonstration of humility and courage, acknowledging that one does not possess all the answers. Curiosity, as opposed to judgment, is a fundamental trait that enhances connections and builds trust among individuals. Engaging in dialogue with clients or colleagues about their true concerns is crucial for effective collaboration and relationship-building. The assertion that assumptions are the termites of relationships highlights the destructive nature of unverified beliefs in personal and professional interactions.

When it comes to evangelism, a surprising number of Christians find themselves fearful, lethargic, confused, and out of their depth. We can find it hard to make clear connections to the Gospel, or to see the light of Christian truth in relation to the everyday interests of strangers and neighbours alike. Is this due primarily to a lack of conversational wisdom or a lack of spiritual boldness? Andy and Aaron both spoke on the different sides of this "coin" at the 2025 Cedarwood Festival. They reflect here that what may appear to be opposing perspectives can actually be complementary, challenging us to overcome cowardice whilst making the best use of our witness, ever mindful of what God can do even in the midst of our most feeble efforts.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is a leading voice in modern faith leadership and the first woman elected to serve as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, a role she's held since 2011. While the job isn't always glamorous, she says, the sacred moments in the public eye matter deeply—and she treats them with care. Bishop Budde gained national attention for boldly speaking out against the Trump administration, including condemning the 2020 photo-op at St. John's Episcopal Church and, more recently, offering a prayer for LGBTQ+ justice with President Trump and Vice President Vance seated before her. Her calm, courageous leadership has made her one of the most trusted voices in public faith today. In this conversation with Jen, Bishop Budde shares her journey from a small Minnesota congregation to the national stage—and how she finds the courage to speak truth to power and stand with the marginalized, even when the cost is high.
