Dive into the "AI multiverse" with AWS Executives in Residence Jake Burns and Tom Soderstrom as they explore why some organizations are seeing massive productivity gains with agentic AI while others struggle to see value. Drawing from their extensive enterprise experience, they reveal how treating AI agents like human team members - with clear specifications, iterative feedback, and proper context - can unlock unprecedented productivity gains that far exceed the reported 30% improvements. Burns and Soderstrom share practical insights on creating a culture of experimentation, emphasizing why traditional ROI metrics may hinder innovation and why "return on attention" could be a better early indicator of success. From leveraging multi-agent systems to democratizing AI adoption through "centers of engagement," this episode offers essential guidance for leaders seeking to position their organizations on the right side of AI transformation. Don't miss these actionable strategies for winning in the age of agentic AI!

This week we talk about fame—how it shapes perception in both pop culture and coffee. From the awkwardness of Will Smith trying to rap again to Hacienda Esmeralda's Geisha selling for record prices at Best of Panama, we dig into how notoriety creates visibility, drives value, and raises the ceiling for everyone. Fame isn't always comfortable, but it opens doors. Whether it's an actor or a coffee producer, once you're known, you change the market around you. Instead of resenting that spotlight, the challenge is to use it as inspiration—to shine light on others and expand what gets celebrated.

Hey folks—quick heads up before we start: viewer discretion advised. I cuss a bit more than usual in this one. This episode wasn't supposed to be an episode. It started as an internet squabble and turned into a real conversation about behavior, modification, and the messy overlap with social media. The format's different: it's virtual, it's loose, and I'm not in “interviewer mode.” Instead, you'll hear me working through my own perspectives, looking for common ground, and sharing the lenses that help me avoid bite incidents—both in-session and in my board-and-train program. I'll be the first to admit—I'm only human, and a passionate one at that. Sometimes that passion steers me into adversarial territory, and other times it helps me find common ground. Huge thanks to Justin from Modern Dog Co—not just for accepting my apology, but for agreeing to let this conversation be shared as a podcast episode so other trainers can benefit from it. Alright—let's roll.

When the Beat Stopped: The One Who Found His Faith AgainBefore the hospital gowns and machines, Kyle David kept time for a living—a professional drummer and percussionist whose life moved in rhythm. Then a hurricane evacuation from New Orleans spiraled into a fight with COVID pneumonia, and the beat of everyday life stopped.What followed was a grueling medical odyssey: three hospitals, 50 days in ICU, a month-long coma, and moments when he was declared clinically dead—twice. Doctors said his only chance was a double-lung transplant. Airlifted to San Diego, Kyle spent nearly seven months learning to breathe, speak, and walk again.Somewhere in that long valley, Kyle's faith cracked. He prayed what felt like his last honest prayer:“Lord, either heal me miraculously now—or let me come home. I can't do this another day.”Silence seemed to answer back. For the first time, the drummer who had grown up with church in his bones felt the tempo of belief slipping away.Then came the moment he thought might be his last. During a brief outing from the hospital, Kyle's portable life-support machine failed. With a tracheostomy tube and seconds to spare, he rose from his wheelchair and shouted so nurses and his mother could hear:“Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.”If this was the end, he wanted his final words to be his clearest.Days later, a matching set of donor lungs became available. On March 3, 2022, surgeons performed the transplant that saved his life. Recovery was slow and humbling—scales and rudiments, but for breathing. Yet as his lungs healed, something deeper healed, too. The God who seemed silent in the ICU met him again—quietly, steadily, mercifully.Kyle describes what happened next as a re-tuning of his soul. The brushes became sticks; the metronome clicked again. His near-death season led him into the ancient prayers and steady rhythms of Eastern Orthodox worship, where he found a church that helped him rebuild his life in Christ with reverence, beauty, and community.“If I hadn't walked through that fire,” Kyle says, “I might never have discovered this path. My suffering became a blessing in disguise.”Kyle's story is more than a medical miracle. It's a testimony for anyone who's suffered long, doubted hard, and wondered if the music of faith was finished. God did not waste the silence. He used it to write a new song.Hear the full conversation on Cloud of Witnesses—Kyle's journey from a failing heartbeat to a living hope, from the edge of unbelief to a renewed confession of Jesus as Lord.

Private equity has made its way into nearly 23% of for-profit US hospitals, despite financial goals that can be at odds with the patient-oriented priorities in health systems.Distressed reporter Samantha Kroontje went to a new “healthcare desert” in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, to speak to some of the people impacted by the closure of its main health system, which came after years of debt-funded growth and dividends led by former private equity owner Leonard Green.In this week's episode of Cloud 9fin, deputy distressed editor Rachel Butt spoke with Kroontje about the reporting process for a recent feature story on the fallout of Prospect Medical's bankruptcy. It delves into the financial maneuvers of Prospect's previous private equity owner that led to the company's unravelling, the healthcare workers who were impacted, and the local vendors likely to get pennies on the dollar.Have any feedback for us?

Oracle Corporation has made headlines with its ambitious revenue projections, forecasting a dramatic increase in its cloud server rental business from $10 billion in fiscal 2025 to $144 billion by fiscal 2030. This growth is attributed to a significant rise in new contracts and a 359% boost in business backlog, largely driven by partnerships with major AI firms. Despite the excitement surrounding these projections, analysts express caution, noting that a decline in enterprise AI adoption could jeopardize Oracle's plans. Recent data indicates that 95% of companies using AI have not seen new revenue, raising questions about the sustainability of Oracle's aggressive investment strategy.The latest statistics reveal a concerning trend in AI adoption among large companies, which has dropped from nearly 14% to under 12% in just a few months. This decline is particularly alarming for investors who have heavily invested in AI technologies, expecting them to revolutionize business operations. As companies reassess their reliance on AI, many are beginning to rehire human workers, acknowledging that the technology has not met earlier expectations. Gartner predicts that while AI will play a significant role in IT departments by 2030, the current reality shows that a substantial percentage of CIOs are not seeing a return on their AI investments.In response to the evolving landscape, a new licensing standard called Really Simple Licensing (RSL) has emerged, aimed at empowering web publishers to set terms for how AI developers can use their content. Supported by major brands like Reddit and Yahoo, this initiative seeks to create a fair compensation model for content creators amidst ongoing legal disputes over AI data scraping. The RSL standard allows site owners to charge fees for AI bots crawling their sites, potentially providing smaller publishers with a mechanism to assert the value of their work.Meanwhile, Microsoft is taking steps to diversify its AI offerings by partnering with Anthropic to enhance its Office 365 applications, reducing its reliance on OpenAI. This move comes as Microsoft bundles its sales, service, and finance copilots into a single offering at a lower price, making AI tools more accessible to users. Additionally, the launch of MSPcentric aims to address the challenges of professional services automation integrations within the IT channel, highlighting the ongoing need for efficiency in the industry. As these developments unfold, the focus remains on how AI can deliver tangible benefits to businesses and the workforce.

The next generation of analytics is here. In this episode of The Data Chief, ThoughtSpot CEO Ketan Karkhanis explains why AI is the new BI, and the future of analytics is autonomous. Karkhanis shares his vision for the autonomous enterprise, where AI agents act on insights and automate workflows. He also explains why a culture of trust and experimentation is crucial for unlocking AI's full potential. Don't miss this discussion on how to fundamentally rethink how organizations interact with data to drive better business outcomes and build an autonomous enterprise.Key Moments:AI is the New BI (08:35): Ketan explains that AI represents a “foundational rewiring” of the entire technology stack, a shift he calls Cloud 2.0. He predicts the BI market is on the verge of an “upgrade super cycle,” leaving legacy players behind.AI Becomes the Only UI (20:45): Ketan shares his vision that in the future, AI will become "the only UI you will need". He explains that ThoughtSpot's MCP host can bring together structured data, unstructured data, and world knowledge to provide better context for a user's question.Progress over Perfection (25:56): Leaders are reminded not to let “perfection be the enemy of progress.” For Ketan, a culture of trust and openness to experimentation is more important than having perfectly defined KPIs or flawless dashboards.Training Comes First (29:02): One of the biggest lessons learned was the importance of investing in people before chasing the promise of AI outcomes. After rolling out mandatory generative AI training, new use cases began emerging organically from across the business—proof that education fuels innovation.Outcomes Over Tech (38:47): Despite mountains of legacy technology, many organizations remain starved for actionable insights. Ketan points to EasyJet as an example of getting it right: rather than focusing on systems and infrastructure, they designed their AI initiative around a tangible outcome—avoiding flight cancellations.The Rise of the Autonomous Enterprise (42:56): The next frontier is the autonomous enterprise, where AI agents don't just surface insights but also act on them. Ketan envisions a future where humans are freed from mundane tasks to focus on higher-value work like relationships and judgment calls.Key Quotes:"AI becomes the only UI you will need." - Ketan Karkhanis"It's not about AI. It's about ROI." - Ketan Karkhanis"This is no longer just about BI.

Send us an email or hit us up on our Slack channel for more info. General News 00:57 Google Dodges A 2.5t Breakup We have breaking news – and it's good news for Google. Google successfully avoided a potential $2.5 trillion breakup following antitrust proceedings, maintaining its current corporate structure despite regulatory pressure. The decision represents a significant outcome for Big Tech antitrust cases, potentially setting a precedent for how regulators approach market dominance issues in the cloud and technology sectors. Cloud customers and partners can expect business continuity with Google Cloud Platform services, avoiding potential disruptions that could have resulted from a corporate restructuring. The ruling may influence how other major cloud providers structure their businesses and approach regulatory compliance, particularly around bundling services and market competition. Enterprise customers relying on Google’s integrated ecosystem of cloud, advertising, and productivity tools can continue their current architectures without concerns about service separation.

This week we talk about the idea of “plussing the show.” The practice of constantly reinvesting in your space so it feels alive, intentional, and cared for. From small design updates to preventative maintenance, we dig into how these choices impact not just the look of a café but also the energy of the team and the experience of every guest who walks in. At its core, the conversation is about showing your guests and team members that you're paying attention. Cleanliness, organization, and little upgrades aren't just details; they're the signals that a business values quality, consistency, and care. And those signals, over time, become the real difference-maker.
