In this episode of Shift AI, Jared Wray, CEO and co-founder of Hyphen, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is poised to eliminate the complexity of cloud infrastructure and the DevOps role entirely.Jared shares his unconventional career journey from growing up in a small town in Idaho, where technology barely existed, to washing dishes at 15, teaching himself programming at the local ISP, and eventually founding five startups across cloud computing, energy tech, and developer infrastructure. From bootstrapping Tier 3 (acquired by CenturyLink) to co-founding Palmetto, now one of the largest energy lenders in the nation, Jared's path has been defined by a passion for solving infrastructure problems.The conversation dives deep into why DevOps has become painfully complex, with developers needing to glue together seven to thirteen different services just to deploy a single application across providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare. Jared explains how Hyphen is using AI to abstract away this complexity by asking developers only for business rules like uptime requirements and performance needs, then letting the AI determine the right architecture, deploy it, and operate it autonomously.Boaz and Jared explore why tools like Claude Code and other coding agents still cannot handle the full deployment lifecycle, what it would look like if AI agents replaced PagerDuty by calling you during an outage with a diagnosis and recommendation, and why the future of infrastructure is an autonomous cloud where humans are decision makers and agents handle everything else. The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on agent-only companies, the death of cloud certifications, and why Jared believes DevOps was a good idea that we ran too long.This episode is essential listening for CTOs, platform engineers, and startup founders who want to understand how AI is moving beyond writing code to fundamentally transforming how software is deployed, operated, and scaled.Chapters[00:00] From Pocatello to Five Startups: Jared's Career Journey[02:49] Building Fonz, Co-founding Palmetto, and Finding Passion in Infrastructure[06:05] Why AI Led Jared Back to Infrastructure with Hyphen[07:05] First Job as a Dishwasher and Breaking Into Tech[08:46] What Is DevOps and Why Does It Exist[10:49] Why Cloud Infrastructure Has Become So Painfully Complex[12:36] How AI Can Apply Best Practices Without Reinventing the Wheel[14:35] The Hyphen Developer Experience: Business Rules Over Architecture[17:14] Why Claude Code and Coding Agents Cannot Solve Infrastructure Yet[20:26] The Full Context Problem: Operating Across Multiple Cloud Providers[23:07] Autonomous Cloud: When Agents Talk to Agents[24:17] Replacing PagerDuty: AI Agents That Call You During Outages[28:47] March Madness, Live Streaming, and Why Five Minutes Feels Like a Lifetime[30:59] Two Words for the Future of Work: Autonomous Cloud[33:20] Agent-Only Companies and Why Humans Will Be CEOs[35:12] DevOps Was a Good Idea We Ran Too Long[35:41] What Is Next for HyphenConnect with Jared WrayLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredwray/Email: jw@hyphen.aiConnect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. This week, Elvis and Barb continue their coverage from exocad Insights 2026 in beautiful Mallorca, Spain, where the conversations are just as valuable as the lectures. The episode starts with Dr. Zhiqiang Luo, who shares his perspective on educating the next generation of dentists in an increasingly digital world. The discussion explores how students are adapting to technology, why foundational analog skills still matter, and the challenge of preparing future clinicians for workflows that continue to evolve at a rapid pace. It's an insightful look at where dental education is headed and how digital dentistry is becoming second nature to new graduates. The conversation then shifts to one of the most memorable encounters from the event as Elvis and Barb sit down with Alyson Bravo, a passionate dental technician from Brazil who has traveled across the globe to attend exocad Insights. What starts as a discussion about digital workflows quickly turns into a story about chasing dreams, making connections, and experiencing the international dental community firsthand. Alyson talks about discovering digital dentistry, teaching himself advanced design techniques, and the excitement of finally meeting people he has only known through podcasts, social media, and online education.

In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Stephen Caines, Chief Innovation Officer and Budget Director at the City of San Jose, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is reshaping city government, public services, and the workforce at one of America's most technologically ambitious cities.Stephen shares his unconventional path from pre-med at Case Western to digital privacy law at the University of Miami, a Stanford fellowship researching surveillance AI ethics, and ultimately landing at San Jose's Mayor's Office where he now leads both innovation strategy and the city's budget. From there, the conversation dives into how San Jose is positioning itself as the AI-first city in the nation, leveraging proximity to Adobe, Cisco, Zoom, Nvidia, Apple, and Google to advance meaningful community-level change.The discussion explores the city's AI for All initiative, a public-private partnership with Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI to provide free AI education to residents and city employees alike. Stephen walks through the city's dual-track upskilling program, its approach to employee training that is purposely non-mandatory, and how San Jose is balancing top-down innovation mandates with bottom-up experimentation.Boaz and Stephen also dig into real-world deployments: object detection cameras on fleet vehicles that proactively identify potholes and road hazards before residents report them, AI translation tools expanding Spanish and Vietnamese participation in city council meetings, and the 311 customer service redesign aimed at reducing resident burden while improving satisfaction. Stephen is candid about the ROI question, how to distinguish pilots worth operationalizing from ones that generate noise without value and the long-term financial risks of AI infrastructure built on VC-subsidized pricing.The episode closes with a discussion of the GovAI Coalition, a San Jose-founded network now spanning over 900 public agencies, and Stephen's two-word vision for the future of work: chronic adaptability.Chapters[00:00] From Pre-Med to Chief Innovation Officer: Stephen's Career Journey[04:12] San Jose as the AI-First City: Population, Geography, and the Lean City Challenge[07:49] Proximity as Advantage: Partnering with Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and Nvidia[08:23] AI for All: Free Community Education and In-Person Training Sessions[11:10] Upskilling City Employees: Voluntary Training, Two Tracks, and Retention Strategy[14:38] Balancing Top-Down and Bottom-Up Innovation[16:14] The 311 Network and Customer Service Vision: A 360-Degree View of the Resident[17:13] Object Detection on Fleet Vehicles: Proactive Pothole and Road Hazard Detection[19:34] Surprising Community Feedback and the Case for Keeping Humans at the Front Door[22:04] ROI in Government: How to Evaluate Pilots and Decide What Gets Operationalized[24:24] The Hidden Costs of AI: Staffing Realignment, Drone Programs, and VC Subsidies[26:14] Building Infrastructure You Own: The Road Safety Images Database[27:24] The GovAI Coalition: 900 Public Agencies, Shared Contracts, and Peer Learning[32:04] The Future of Work in Cities: Chronic Adaptability and the Individual JourneyConnect with Stephen CainesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-caines/City of San Jose Innovation Hub: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/information-technology/city-innovation/it-innovation-hubConnect with the GovAI CoalitionWebsite: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/information-technology/ai-reviews-algorithm-register/govai-coalitionConnect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

Fred Laluyaux has spent 25 years on the same problem: enterprises are drowning in decisions no human should be making. With 50 million digitized decisions across companies like Unilever, Exxon, and Hershey, he now has the data to prove it. When operators override the machine, performance goes down. Not sometimes — in aggregate, every time. In this episode, Fred breaks down the agentic vs. deterministic tradeoff most CIOs are getting wrong, why the software stack most companies rely on today is heading for collapse, and what a company whose entire stack is just SAP and Aera tells you about where enterprise software is going. Hit play. 3 Takeaways: After 50 million digitized decisions, the data is clear: when operators override the machine, performance drops. One Aera customer runs their entire operation on SAP and Aera. Nothing in between. That's where the stack is going. Fred calls them "born in digital" decisions — they can't be made by humans because the value is gone before the meeting starts.

An entrepreneur and Silicon Valley veteran, Fred brings an impressive track record building successful startups and driving technology innovation. Prior to launching Aera, Fred was the CEO of Anaplan, which he grew to a $1 billion valuation. He has held several executive positions at SAP, Business Objects, and ALG Software. As a thought leader on the future of work and host of the Decision Intelligence podcast, Fred frequently shares his vision with influencers through media interviews and speaking engagements at industry conferences. His views have been published in business and trade publications. A technology and startup advisor, Fred is an investor and active board member of several startups in the U.S. and Europe. Guest Highlights: "We're in 2026, and the reality is that our models have not changed for 100 years. We're still relying on people to decide how to forecast, how to allocate inventory, how to change a plan." "We've got enough data, I mentioned the 50 million decisions, to demonstrate that whenever the humans are touching the system and are messing with the recommendation, they actually degrade the performance." "The autonomy is not another version or better version of my planning tool or my replenishment tool. It replaces the need to have a human touch with that software, and therefore I don't need that software anymore."

Cindy Esliger explores why personal and professional growth often feels threatening. This feeling can be compounded for women working in environments where they already feel constant pressure to prove themselves. Admitting that we are improving can feel risky because it means acknowledging that we didn't always have all the answers. Cindy explains how many of us were conditioned through school and early experiences to avoid failure at all costs, even though career success and innovation require experimentation and mistakes. She discusses the hidden pressures women face while trying to grow, including perfectionism, double standards, and the emotional labor of constantly managing how they are perceived. Cindy outlines four common pitfalls women encounter when they begin owning their growth: 1. The double bind, 2. The perfectionism trap, 3. The language audit problem, and 4. Invisible labor. She also shares six warning signs to watch for in professional environments: 1. Growth being framed as ‘catching up', 2. Moving goalposts, 3. Isolation, 4. The humble trap, 5. Comparison culture, and 6. Shame-fuelled perfectionism and fear of failure. Cindy reframes the beliefs that keep people stuck, challenging the idea that failure proves incompetence. Instead, she explains that growth comes from learning to cope with frustration, confusion, disappointment, and even humiliation without giving up. To help make growth more manageable, Cindy shares five practical strategies: 1. Create a proof of progress file, 2. Do a language audit, 3. Use the cope and adjust framework, 4. Embrace strategic failure, and 5. Apply the momentum principle. She explains that confidence is not built by avoiding failure, but by repeatedly surviving it and continuing forward anyway. The ability to fail, learn, and keep moving becomes one of the most valuable career skills we can develop. Cindy encourages us to stop waiting for external validation, start documenting our progress, and recognize that becoming better than before requires courage.

You didn't burn your business down. You got bored — and nobody told you why. The Impulsive Thinker® finally digs into his own ADHD story. If you never fit in, this episode is for you.   In This Episode: Why masking and not fitting in hits hardest for ADHD Entrepreneurs How boredom and conformity kill the drive to build and create What happens when you mistake ADHD for being a "bad person"   What You'll Take Away: Not fitting in is the baseline for ADHD Entrepreneurs — not a problem to fix Masking starts young and scars deep, but doesn't erase who you are Boredom triggers chaos — your brain blows things up to feel something ADHD isn't the problem. It's the world's refusal to bend that breaks you. Diagnosing ADHD late means years of thinking you're the issue   GUEST BIOCassandra Morari is an ADHD brain and COO at The Rock, a Saskatchewan family ag-business. She knows small town. She knows family business. And she's been masking her brain for years. www.therackonline.com   ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode of The Impulsive Thinker® tears the mask off the host's own ADHD Entrepreneur experience. No fluff. Cassandra Morari asks the questions nobody's put to The Impulsive Thinker® before — what did pre-diagnosis really look like? From growing up the oddball in a rural Catholic town to blowing up career moves out of boredom, The Impulsive Thinker® walks through decades of fitting everywhere but belonging nowhere. They hit on real ADHD challenges — masking, rejection, internalized blame, and how boredom and novelty drive business decisions. The Impulsive Thinker® explains that ADHD isn't the enemy. The problem is being forced to run on "society's measuring stick" instead of your own operating system. The worst damage isn't business chaos — it's the belief that your brain is broken. This episode is built for ADHD Entrepreneurs who know being different isn't a marketing slogan. If you're sick of pretending to fit in, hit play now.   Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.  

Industrial Advisors Podcast Live at IAMC: Dallas Bulk Demand, Spec Development, Shallow Bay Challenges, and Power Constraints Live from the IAMC forum in Little Rock, the Industrial Advisors podcast hosts interview Chloe Garside of the Sansone Group about her move to Dallas as a development partner and what she's seeing in industrial real estate. She describes accelerating bulk demand nationally and in Dallas, noting Sansone has six million-square-foot spec buildings under construction or existing, with four already in lease talks, contributing to pushback toward build-to-suit for bulk due to limited availability. In Dallas, rent premiums favor bulk over sub-300,000-square-foot product, and she prefers 300,000–600,000-square-foot cross-dock specs, with 900,000–1.2 million as the big-box range. The group discusses shallow-bay/flex demand but high costs and infill site challenges, plus rising competition for land and power as data centers drive pricing expectations and utility delays, making power a daily tenant concern and prompting bridge solutions like alternative generation. 0:00 Intro and Chloe Garside's Career Journey 3:30 The State of the Dallas Industrial Market 6:45 Trends in Bulk Speculative Development 10:15 The Challenge of Shallow Bay and Flex Space 13:45 Data Centers and the Competition for Power 17:30 Creative Power Solutions and Market Outlook

But behind that one transaction…there's a system most people don't understand and a career path almost no one talks about. In this episode, we go inside Nepal's payment ecosystem from cards and QR to the backend systems that power every transaction. We explore why payment systems are easy to use but hard to understand, why there is no formal education around this field, and how people are actually building careers inside it. This is a conversation about systems, not just usage and the growing opportunity for those who understand how money really moves.

Episode 101: Ilan Rubin. Ilan Rubin is the new drummer for Foo Fighters and one of the most respected musicians in modern music. He and I go way back to our early teen and even pre-teen drumming years, so this is an extra fun one for me. He spent 17 years with Nine Inch Nails as their longest-running drummer, earning a reputation for precision, versatility, and the ability to step into any musical environment at the highest level. From there, he has continued to evolve, now joining Foo Fighters and stepping into one of the most iconic bands in music. Alongside that, Ilan has been a core part of Angels & Airwaves, working closely with Tom DeLonge not just as a drummer, but as a collaborator, multi-instrumentalist, and creative partner. Their relationship goes beyond just playing live. It is about building songs, shaping sound, and pushing ideas forward together. In this conversation, we talk about Ilan's journey as a musician, how he built his career starting at just 9 years old, how he has landed some of the biggest gigs in music, and how he has kept those gigs for years. We dive into how he got the gig with Foo Fighters, how much fun he's having with them, and the positive vibe they all have together. We get into what he learned from working with Trent Reznor, all sorts of stories from playing with Nine Inch Nails, his open handed drumming technique, being the frontman of his own band The New Regime, fun stories with Tom DeLonge, and some great stories of him and I over the years. We also dive into how he approaches his role inside elite bands, his work ethic, how he thinks about growth, his approach to music, and what it takes to stay consistently at the top for two decades. This is a fun conversation about discipline, evolution, and becoming someone artists trust at the top of the game. I hope you enjoy my conversation with the great Ilan Rubin! Let's go.

What happens when someone tells you you're the worst therapist in the middle of a thriving practice? For Tamara Gestetner, it was the moment she realized burnout wasn't about work, it was about identity and honesty. After nearly two decades as a marriage and family therapist, Tamara reinvented herself multiple times, from special education to furniture retail sales to life coaching. Her journey proves one thing: it's not too late, it's not reckless, and a career change isn't failure.In this episode, we explore how burnout actually shows up, why high achievers push through it, how to distinguish between a rough patch and true misalignment, and what it takes to coach someone through major life transitions.Episode Highlights:Tamara's journey proves that the hardest part isn't making the change; it's being honest about why you need to make it. Burnout rarely lives aloneShe shares that in her experience, high achievers don't address burnout because they fear failure, believe they'll hit it again anyway, and aren't honest with themselves about what's really happeningCareer dissatisfaction is often about passion and identity, not skills, most intelligent people can learn most jobs, but passion is harder to find and harder to leaveTamara believes that the difference between a temporary rough patch and true misalignment is repetition: if the same problem happens again and again across different roles, it's probably misalignmentWhen coaching someone through transition, start with their actual needs right now (bills, savings, timeline) instead of their dream job, then build backward from realityEpisode Links: Website: www.tamaragestner.com Instagram: @talktotomorrow LinkedIn: Tamara Gestetner Five Towns Jewish Times: Tamara's Contributions to the Advice ColumnPodcast: Talk to Tomorrow (Launching Soon)Send us Fan MailFollow The Digital Marketing Mentor:Website and Blog: thedmmentor.comInstagram: @thedmmentorLinkedin: @thedmmentorYouTube: @thedmmentorInterested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

If you're disillusioned with your current job, you're far from alone. Turns out, a whole generation is looking for a better road to career “success.” In the face of all this well-deserved disillusionment, I sought out the person behind the trending “millennial career crisis” hashtag to really get to the bottom of what the phenomenon is and why it seems to be affecting my generation especially.  Janel Abrahami is a career coach whose background in organizational psychology and corporate HR, and her own career crisis, make her the ideal advisor and spokesperson for forging a better path. Janel argues that, thanks to a heap of daunting factors, a “successful career” looks a lot different than it did in our parents' day. She joins me to break down her six pathways that help us take back ownership of our careers in the face of despair and disillusionment Retake control and design your own success: Six pathways that let you choose your own adventure; Why career dissatisfaction seems to be hitting millennials hard right now; The importance of resting before we jump and strategizing before we build; The broken social construct facing everyone working today.
