""You shouldn't use words to burn. They should be for light and for warmth." Richard has spent the last 19 years running a near-shore bilingual contact center that thrives on empathy, communication, and human connection in an era dominated by automation. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Richard Blank, CEO of Costa Rica's Call Center. Richard has spent the last 19 years running a near-shore bilingual contact center that thrives on empathy, communication, and human connection in an era dominated by automation . Richard's story begins in Philadelphia, where childhood trips to Mexico sparked his love of Spanish and culture. After studying Spanish in college, he took what was supposed to be a short trip to Costa Rica to teach English at a friend's center. Instead, he fell in love—with the country, with the culture, and with the woman who would become his wife. That leap of faith became a lifelong adventure, culminating in the creation of Costa Rica's Call Center . He explains why call centers aren't just about dialing lists—they're about rhetoric, persuasion, and the art of speech. For Richard, the real skill lies in listening, building rapport, and finding those rare "positive escalations" where a customer compliments an agent to their supervisor. He compares communication to fire: it can burn, but it can also light and warm, and the best agents know how to use it for encouragement and clarity . The conversation ranges widely, from his love of 1970s electromechanical pinball machines and jukebox rescues in the Costa Rican mountains, to his passion for movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Maltese Falcon. Richard also shares the daily joys of Costa Rican life—warm rain in a convertible, fresh seafood at the market, and the surreal beauty of the rainforest . At the heart of it all is his philosophy: rebels in waiting should remove unnecessary weight, play the long game, and find balance. Business doesn't require shortcuts or being number one—it requires integrity, patience, and compassion. His advice is simple: plan ahead, stay curious, and make space for yourself so your best ideas can surface. Quoteable Quotes "It's a luxury trade—where else can you speak to hundreds of people a day?" — Richard Blank "You shouldn't use words to burn. They should be for light and for warmth." — Richard Blank "If you can't find ways to decompress, you'll never last as an entrepreneur." — Richard Blank "They need more compassion—it starts with simply acknowledging existence." — Richard Blank "You're Canadian, that's fun." — Richard Blank Episode Highlights Costa Rica's Call Center | Building a near-shore bilingual hub of empathy and communication.

In this episode, Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock welcome Rick Delisi, Lead Research Analyst at Glia and co-author of "The Effortless Experience" and "Digital Customer Service," to discuss how AI is transforming customer service in banking and credit unions.Rick reveals why the future of contact centers isn't about eliminating human interaction; it's about automating the routine so humans can focus on building real relationships. Learn how banks are breaking the age-old trade-off between efficiency and customer experience, and why starting with internal-facing AI tools is the safest path to transformation.Discover the surprising truth about which customer satisfaction metric actually predicts loyalty (hint: it's not what most companies are measuring), and why customer expectations for AI are shaped more by bad experiences with other companies than by anything your organization does.THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. AI for Everyone, Not Just Customers: AI can transform your entire organization, from helping frontline agents with real-time guidance, to giving managers instant analysis capabilities, to enabling executives to make data-driven strategic decisions. The most successful implementations use AI across all levels: customers, agents, managers, and executives.2. Start Internal, Then Scale Outward: Begin with internal tools that help agents, managers, and executives first. This builds confidence, allows teams to experience the technology firsthand, and creates incremental improvements that build organizational trust. By the time you roll out customer-facing AI, your entire team understands and trusts the system.3. The best predictor of customer loyalty isn't satisfaction scores or Net Promoter Score, it's the Customer Effort Score. Ask customers, "How much effort was required for you to get what you needed?" after each interaction. Low-effort experiences drive loyalty, and this metric gives you actionable insights into where to improve your service processes.CONTACT US:Email: feedback@definitelymaybeagile.comDefinitely Maybe Agile explores the complexities of adopting new ways of working at scale, covering digital transformation, agile practices, and DevOps in enterprise environments.#AI #CustomerService #Banking #DigitalTransformation #ContactCenter #CreditUnions #CustomerExperience #Glia #FinancialServices #AgileTransformation

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show served up a mix of administrative chaos, pop culture debate, relationship wisdom, and power politics in this episode. When nearly half of IRS staff were furloughed due to the government shutdown — effectively rendering its call centers unreachable — hosts warned of long waits and taxpayer frustration. Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith called out LeBron James’ “Second Decision” Hennessy teaser as “corny,” criticizing the stunt as a tone-deaf marketing move that overshadowed his athletic legacy. The conversation pivoted into advice territory when Sherri Shepherd urged listeners not to date someone based on potential, advocating for relationships rooted in present reality instead of future promises. And closing the show with political drama, NY Attorney General Letitia James rejected her recent federal indictment, calling it baseless retaliation from former President Trump — tying in her storied fight against his business empire and her civil fraud victory that was later partly overturned on appeal.

Pat Michael, Director of Patient Contact Services at Nebraska Medicine, highlights the challenges of high-volume patient contact centers and how agentic AI can improve operational efficiency, enhance patient access, and allow human agents to focus on more complex and critical calls. The AI agent offers patients self-service options for scheduling, cancellations, and medication refills, resulting in a 40% reduction in call volume to human operators. Integrating AI into the contact center also enables the prioritization of time-sensitive calls, such as those related to organ transplant coordination. Pat explains, "I'm the Patient Contact Services Director for Nebraska Medicine, which means I oversee our three main contact centers. They're our ambulatory contact center, which takes and schedules all the calls for our ambulatory clinic, and our radiology contact center, which schedules all of our outpatient radiology services. And then our medical communication center, which is our 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week operation with our hospital operators and a group of triage nurses." "So, some of the challenges that we had are that one of the big things is that we deal with the sheer volume of calls coming into the contact center. And so through the three contact centers, we have about 2.5 million calls that come in, but they're not evenly distributed. They come in when they come in. And so the key to success is managing all these complex calls while ensuring accuracy in the call handling. And what does that mean in the simplest terms? You have to have time to handle the calls accurately. Are we actually staying ahead of the volume, or are we just trying to catch up?" #NebraskaMedicine #ActiumHealth #AIAgents #PatientEngagement #healthtech #AgenticAI #automation Nebraskamed.com Download the transcript here
