When AI Starts Shopping for Your Customers

AI agents are already shopping, comparing, booking, and contacting support for the customers we've spent decades trying to understand. That means customer experience is no longer judged only by what a person feels in the moment, it's also scored by what an AI can find about your brand across policies, pricing, FAQs, reviews, and the broader web. If that idea makes you a little uneasy, good. It's the wake-up call CX leaders need right now. I break down what “agentic AI” changes in the customer journey and why it creates a world with no fine print. When an agent can surface your warranty terms, return rules, delivery performance, and reputation signals in seconds, the gaps between your brand promise and real experience become impossible to hide. We talk about the trust signals AI is likely to reward, including transparent pricing, clear and consistent policies, accurate product information, reliable delivery, and responsive customer service. Consistency stops being a nice-to-have and becomes the proof your brand can be trusted. And we don't lose the human part. Emotions still drive loyalty because people still make the final decision about who they trust. I share why a clear customer experience mission statement matters more than ever, especially if you're training internal teams and tools around a defined promise of how you want customers to feel. You'll leave with practical next steps: experiment with AI like a customer, audit your digital experience, remove hidden friction, and tighten the public signals that shape recommendations. If an AI agent evaluated your brand today, what would it say about your customer experience?

Momentum is the thing every CX leader wants and almost nobody hands you. When you're staring at a 12-month roadmap but drowning in daily requests, it's easy to feel like you're working nonstop while nothing actually changes. We built this conversation for that exact moment, and we keep it practical: seven days, one intentional move, and a clear path to visible customer experience impact.We walk through a simple three-step framework we use with leaders who are trying to turn CX strategy into action. First, we orient before we act by choosing where our energy belongs instead of reacting to whatever is loudest. We talk through a clear set of focus areas and how a quick assessment can highlight the biggest gap between the experience you want to deliver and what's getting done right now. Then we get real about focus: protecting time, avoiding data rabbit holes, and picking an outcome you can actually ship in a week.Finally, we make one intentional leadership decision that isn't driven by urgency or the inbox. That decision might be defining what success looks like, revisiting a customer experience mission statement, or having the buy-in conversation you've been avoiding. The goal is not perfection. The goal is momentum you can feel and results you can point to.If you're ready to try the seven-day challenge, listen now, share this with a CX peer who feels stuck, and subscribe so you don't miss what comes next.

What if many modern mental health diagnoses are missing the deeper story?In this illuminating episode of The Future of Wellness, we're joined by Dr. Leslie Korn — scientist, psychotherapist, traumatologist, and pioneer in integrative mental health — to explore a radically broader understanding of trauma, healing, and human wellbeing.Drawing on more than 40 years of clinical practice across psychology, somatic therapies, nutrition, and indigenous medicine, Dr. Korn explains why mental distress is rarely just a chemical imbalance or isolated diagnosis. Instead, she frames trauma as a whole-system disruption affecting the brain, body, immune system, metabolism, circadian rhythms, and our relationship to the natural world.Together, we explore why many conventional approaches remain incomplete, how trauma is often misdiagnosed, and why true healing requires restoring biological and relational balance.In this episode, we explore: • Why trauma is a systems-level physiological condition • The limitations of conventional mental health diagnosis • The links between chronic stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction • Why “nutrition is biology, not ideology” • How ancestral food systems influence mental wellbeing • The role of circadian rhythm, somatic intelligence, and altered states in recovery • Why alignment with the natural world may be foundational to healingThis is a powerful conversation on moving beyond symptom management toward a more integrative, human-centered model of mental health.Connect with Dr. Leslie Korn: drlesliekorn.comEnjoyed the episode?

Burnout doesn't come from “not being able to handle it.” It happens when CX work becomes an endless stream of urgent requests with no clear priorities. In this episode, we unpack why customer experience leaders burn out trying to solve everything at once, and how a clear CX mission and strategy create the guardrails to prioritize, push back, and lead proactively instead of reactively.We also explore what strategy looks like in practice: focusing on outcomes that matter most, aligning CX work to business goals, and building small habits that keep you grounded. If you're not sure where to start, we walk through a simple reset: picture what “wins” you want one year from now, then work backward into practical next steps. And because CX asks a lot of empathy from you, we close with an essential reminder: show yourself the same compassion you expect your teams to show customers, and build small habits that help you stay centered before taking on one more thing.If this resonates, share it with a CX leader, subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and leave a rating or review to help more leaders find the show.Resources Mentioned:Order your copy of Experience Is Everything -- http://experienceiseverythingbook.comLearn more about CXI Membership™ and apply -- http://CXIMembership.comExperience Investigators -- https://experienceinvestigators.comEnjoyed the show?

From Adobe Summit, Jeannie Walters' sits down with IBM leaders to unpack what it takes to deliver customer experience that feels consistent, connected, and genuinely helpful across digital touchpoints even when different teams, tools, and timelines are involved.First, Betsy Rohtbart, VP, Digital Experience & IBM.com, shares a simple reframing with big implications: start with the task your visitor is trying to complete, then design the experience to make that “pay off” every time. We talk about why customers often feel the gaps instead of the beautiful moments we intended, how secret shopping your own trial and onboarding flow exposes breakpoints fast, and why chasing problems like a “toddler soccer game” creates more friction. The standard is brutal but fair: customers compare you to their last best experience anywhere.Then Jay Trestain, EMEA Marketing Transformation Lead & Client Partner, breaks down agentic orchestration in plain terms: AI agents that act as domain experts and work together across an enterprise workflow. We dig into what leaders miss when they rush to deploy AI, how a clear North Star vision sharpens decisions about martech, process redesign, and KPIs, and why agentic technology is changing digital discovery by bypassing traditional web real estate.

Customer experience can feel complicated fast, especially when you're working across completely different industries.In this episode, we answer a listener question about navigating CX in both insurance and luxury retail. Two worlds that seem totally opposite… until you realize the real challenge isn't the industry—it's staying clear on who you are to your customers and the experience you're actually delivering. Because when you lose that clarity, everything starts to feel fragmented.We break down what customers really need in each space. In insurance, the best experience is often invisible until something goes wrong. That's when reassurance becomes everything: clear coverage, confidence in what's been submitted, and knowing progress is happening without having to chase it. In luxury retail, it's about high-touch, thoughtful personalization that makes customers feel known and valued. Different context, same underlying goal.And that's the big takeaway: great customer experience isn't about the industry, it's about how well you deliver on your promise. We'll walk through what actually carries across both worlds: setting the right expectations, giving customers real choice, and using personalization to make them feel seen, heard, and valued.If you've ever felt pulled in too many directions with your CX strategy, this episode will help you refocus on what matters most.Subscribe, share with a fellow CX leader, and leave a review to help more people find the show.Resources Mentioned:Order your copy of Experience Is Everything -- http://experienceiseverythingbook.comLearn more about CXI Membership™ and apply -- http://CXIMembership.comExperience Investigators -- https://experienceinvestigators.comEnjoyed the show?

Are you drowning in feedback and still struggling for progress? In this bonus episode, we're bringing you more conversations from the Qualtrics X4 Summit 2026 in Seattle. These conversations tackle the same problem from different angles: how to turn customer and patient feedback into real operational change, and how to protect trust as AI becomes part of the workflow. If you collect surveys, run a CX program, or lead a healthcare team, this one is about what happens after you hit “export.” First, we talk with leaders from Trillium Health Partners about redesigning their patient experience measurement: Kerry Kuluski, Research Chair in Patient and Family-Centered Care, and Adam Gdyczynski, Senior Corporate Lead, Patient Experience Measurement and Planning. They share how moving from paper and call-center methods to modern digital surveying helped drive an 880% increase in survey responses, plus what they did next to avoid being buried by the volume. We dig into practical tactics like shorter surveys, QR codes on after visit summaries, and using iPads to improve access in areas with lower electronic response rates. We also get into why equitable care depends on knowing who is responding, and how demographic and cultural insights can inform smarter decisions while supporting patient and family centered care. Then we shift to the trust layer with Qualtrics Chief Security Officer Assaf Keren. We unpack why trust is more than security, why shortcuts create incidents, and why transparency matters when things go wrong. We also get specific about AI governance: third-party risk, building guardrails, managing data access, and keeping a human in the loop when risk is high or confidence is low.

We wanted a grounded conversation about customer experience strategy that actually holds up inside complex organizations, especially when trust, risk, and regulation are part of daily life.Jeannie Walters is joined by Dr. Elizabeth ErkenBrack, Head of Strategy in the Office of the CEO at Qualtrics. They sat down at the Qualtrics X4 Summit 2026 in Seattle to talk about starting with the outcome you're trying to achieve, defining who you're designing for, and mapping the work that needs to change before you ever “plug in” AI. They get specific about where automation helps and where the human touch still matters most, particularly in vulnerable moments like healthcare, financial services, and other deeply personal journeys.They also dig into the ROI side of experience management: how to shift from CX as a cost center to CX as an investment, how to connect NPS and CSAT to action, and how to tie experience improvements to attributable revenue through churn, retention, conversion, and operational changes. A key takeaway is governance: measurement and execution often sit in different silos, and bringing them into lockstep is an executive decision.

Some of the biggest CX breakthroughs don't come from bigger budgets, they come from sharper thinking about trust, value, and what people actually feel in the moment. We're sharing a special Women's History Month collection of insights from Dr. Amy Climer, Ovetta Sampson, Camille Kremer, Neen James, and Brooke Sellas, each bringing a different lens on customer experience leadership, innovation, and connection.We start with a future-facing question: when AI shows up on the screens inside our cars, is it there to help the driver or to sell to them? Amy challenges us to treat creativity as “novelty that is valuable,” and to judge value from the customer's perspective, not the company's. From there, Ovetta gets candid about generative AI, chatbot hallucinations, and why “set it and forget it” is a fast track to broken customer trust. If you're building AI into customer support, you'll hear why rigorous testing and ongoing oversight are now core CX operations.Camille breaks down expectation setting as the hidden equation behind loyalty: customers invest, brands deliver or don't, and trust is the outcome. Neen reframes luxury as a mindset where experiences matter more than things, anchored in making people feel seen, heard, and valued. Brooke closes the loop for social media and content marketing: content is the vehicle, emotion is the destination, and connection beats chasing a single “big win.”If this sparked new ideas for your CX strategy, subscribe, share this with a CX leader on your team, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Experience Action Episodes Mentioned:CX Pulse Check – February 2025CX Pulse Check – May 2025CX Pulse Check – August 2025CX Pulse Check – September 2025CX Pulse Check – November 2025Resources Mentioned:Order your copy of Experience Is Everything -- http://experienceiseverythingbook.comLearn more about CXI Membership™ and apply -- http://CXIMembership.comExperience Investigators Website -- https://experienceinvestigators.comEnjoyed the show?

A lot of companies say they “listen to the customer” and they do. They survey, they track NPS, they build dashboards, they share reports. But then nothing changes. Today we respond to a sharp question from a listener about what separates organizations that embed customer insights into everyday decision making from those where Voice of the Customer stays stuck as a feedback exercise.We walk through the mindset shift that turns VoC into real customer experience strategy: using your mission and goals as the lens for what you act on, getting aligned on expectations, and defining a clear customer experience mission statement so improvements aren't scattered across one-off complaints. When teams fix isolated issues without a unified view of the customer journey, customers feel the inconsistency and trust drops fast.Then we get practical about execution. Customer insights only matter when they influence decisions across product, operations, communication, and the partners you choose. That requires shared ownership, clear governance, and consistent processes for reporting what you're doing about the feedback and closing the loop with customers. We also address the “shoot the messenger” trap and how CX leaders can connect the dots to business value so teams understand what's in it for them.If you want to turn Voice of the Customer into decision infrastructure and measurable business outcomes, press play.

Customer experience doesn't fall apart because people don't care. It falls apart because the work stays fragmented, the fixes don't connect across the customer journey, and teams end up stuck in a reactive loop of complaints, escalations, and fire drills. Jeannie Walters shares why she wrote Experience Is Everything: Making Every Moment Count in the Age of Customer Expectations and what she kept seeing after years of working with leaders who genuinely want to do right by customers and employees.She digs into the real shift that makes customer experience improvement stick: treating CX as a leadership discipline. That means aligning a shared mindset about who we are to customers, building a clear customer experience strategy tied to outcomes, and committing to the discipline that keeps it real day after day. She also read the final page of the book to underline the heart of the message: progress beats perfection. CX gets better when we act, reflect, adjust, and act again, because small intentional decisions compound over time.She also talks about the pressure of modern work: customers move faster, organizations move faster, and AI is now part of almost everything we design. Without alignment, that speed can accidentally create broken experiences at scale. If you're the person who notices the gaps, sees the misalignment, and feels a little alone because you care, this is for you.

When AI can move faster than your team ever could, the real question isn't “What can we automate?” It's “What should represent us?” In this CX Pulse Check episode, Jeannie Walters sits down with Deborah Reuben, CEO of Tomorrow Zone and author of Enter the Tomorrow Zone, to unpack how agentic commerce and automation can elevate customer experience only when purpose leads and tools follow.They dig into the messy middle of AI adoption—from trust gaps and backlash moments to why innovation driven by shiny features often scales the wrong experience. They share a practical blueprint for leaders under pressure to deliver: define a clear CX mission, align success metrics across teams, and identify the high-stakes moments where humans must stay in the loop.The conversation also explores how organizations can design AI that signals trust through capability, honesty, predictability, and care. As automation expands and bots increasingly interact with bots, they discuss how measurement must evolve beyond traditional engagement metrics to focus on outcomes like resolution confidence, perceived fairness, and clarity of next steps.If this sparks ideas for your roadmap or raises thorny questions about where humans should stay in the loop, we want to hear from you.

How does distance healing actually work?In this episode, we explore one of the most debated questions in energy healing: how can meaningful shifts occur without physical proximity? Rather than making bold claims, this conversation examines what distance healing may reveal about consciousness, time, and the nature of mind itself.Drawing on lived clinical experience alongside frontier research into presentiment, non-local perception, and remote viewing, we look at what current science suggests — and where its limits remain. If the mind is not strictly confined to the brain, and awareness is not entirely local, then distance healing may not be about energy traveling across space at all. It may be about shared attention and alignment in time.In this episode, we explore:• Why distance healing challenges conventional assumptions about causation • What presentiment research suggests about time and the nervous system • Non-local perception and relational connection • Why scientific debate around consciousness remains unresolved • The mind–body time–space continuum • Why online energy healing training may sharpen subtle perceptionDistance healing often triggers skepticism — and rightly so. But skepticism does not require dismissal. As we examine both research and experience, a deeper question emerges: what if reality is more interconnected than our current models suggest?Whether you are curious, cautious, or already practicing energy work, this episode offers a grounded exploration of how attention, awareness, and connection may operate beyond physical distance.To learn more about our Energy Healing Training (EHT) programs and subtle perception work, visit: energyfielddynamics.comEnjoyed the episode?

They unpack common myths about sensitivity, discuss the difference between openness and regulation, and explain why presence — not psychic spectacle — is the foundation of genuine inner development.In This Episode We Explore:What ESP and psychic sensing mean in the context of energy healingWhy sensitivity is not a hierarchy — and not a measure of evolutionThe difference between oversensitive and undersensitive systemsHow nervous system regulation transforms sensitivity into intelligenceThe role of siddhis (psychic abilities) in yogic and Buddhist traditionsWhy psychic development is a byproduct of inner work — not the goalHow sensing enhances discernment, boundaries, and daily lifeAt Field Dynamics, we approach subtle energy development through regulation, presence, and long-term integration. Psychic sensing matures naturally when the system stabilizes. It is not about spectacle. It is about coherence.

In this thoughtful and deeply grounded conversation, Serena is joined by John Ball, keynote speaker, presentation coach, and host of the Present Influence Podcast, to explore what it means to be impactful — especially for introverts and quiet achievers.John shares his unconventional journey from flight attendant to professional speaker, and how discovering coaching, communication, and improv reshaped not only his career, but his sense of self. Together, Serena and John unpack the myth that confident speaking is about performance or extroversion, and instead reveal why presence, authenticity, and self-trust are the real foundations of influence.In this episode, we explore:Why so many introverts feel most energised by quiet, nature, and solitudeThe surprising link between improvisation and confidenceWhat “presence” really means when speaking or leadingWhy confidence comes from experience — not personalityThe importance of embracing the learning curve (and the dip)How humour and lightness create connection, even for serious thinkersThe difference between influence and persuasionWhy authenticity isn't oversharing — it's self-ownershipHow to build influence without pretending to be extrovertedWhat quiet achievers need to remember when stepping into visibilityMemorable Quote“The best speakers aren't trying to impress — they're trying to connect. Influence comes from being real, not from performing.”— John BallKey Takeaways for Quiet AchieversYou don't need to be loud to be impactful — presence speaks louder than volumeConfidence grows through practice, not perfectionBeing authentic doesn't mean sharing everything — it means being grounded in who you areInfluence is built through warmth, clarity, and self-trustThe audience is usually rooting for you more than you thinkGrowth requires patience — and compassion for yourself along the wayAbout John BallJohn Ball is a keynote speaker, presentation coach, and host of the Present Influence Podcast.

In this episode we're joined by Alex Greene - a Structural Integration practitioner, somatic educator, and founder of Neurogenic Integration. Alex first encountered spontaneous neurogenic tremoring while living as a monk in a Zen monastery near Honolulu, during a bodywork session that dramatically shifted chronic pain and reorganised deep patterns of tension.Rather than teaching tremoring as a single technique, Alex approaches it as part of a wider nervous system and trauma-resolution ecosystem — integrating Structural Integration, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, Feldenkrais, breathwork, and hands-on bodywork. We explore how healing and awakening meet through embodiment, and why presence and curiosity may be the most underrated tools in any modality.In this conversation, we explore:Alex's Zen training — and why posture, breath, and stillness became foundationalThe tremor reflex as a built-in mechanism for release and reorganisationThe intersection of fascia, breath, pelvic patterns, and nervous system regulationWhy story still matters — and how physiology shifts meaning-makingParts work (IFS), somatic tracking, and building embodied emotional literacyEnergetic sensitivity in practice: joining, resonance, and flexible boundariesInherited and transgenerational patterns — and how they surface somaticallyWhere somatic therapy may be heading next, and how the AI era may deepen the hunger for embodimentLearn more: neurogenic-integration.comEnjoyed the episode?

Happy December! I'm hopping back on the mic to bring you a bonus episode all about a topic that comes up every single year with my clients: off-season fueling. When training volume drops and structure loosens, it's easy to shift your focus away from your nutrition. And let's face it - it's also a crazy time of year. But what you eat in the off-season has a huge impact on your energy, recovery, general health, and how you feel heading into your next training cycle.Whether you're taking real time off, switching activities or sports, or simply doing less of the same, this episode will help you stay fueled without micromanaging every bite.In this episode, I cover:What the “off-season” actually is (and why it matters)Core fueling principles that don't change, no matter the seasonHow to adjust your nutrition when volume and intensity dropA practical look at carb needs during lower-volume trainingHow to build balanced meals and snacks without tracking everythingWhen (and when not) to consider body recomposition goalsWhy fueling your workouts still matters in the off-seasonHow to use this time to build resilience for your next training cycleThis is a must-listen for anyone feeling a little lost with their nutrition after a big training cycle or who needs a refresher on foundational fueling strategies that are relevant year-round.

Chad walks us through how he raised millions in private money—starting with zero savings and a $2K/month income—and why less interest is actually more attractive to lenders.From structuring win-win deals to understanding what private lenders actually want, Chad breaks down his strategy with a calm, no-hype approach that cuts through the noise. If you've been scared to ask for money, or you're stuck using your own cash, this episode will completely change how you think about raising capital.[Timeline Summary][0:00] – Introduction[1:01] – Why higher interest rates actually scare off private lenders[2:06] – Chad's journey from rural Kenya missionary to real estate investor[3:33] – No savings, no job, no bank—but a vision that convinced others to fund him[4:32] – Helping others become investors through lending[6:12] – Where to find private lenders (hint: they're everywhere)[8:21] – Why 6–8% is a gift to most retirees and stock investors[9:18] – The 3-part pitch Chad uses every time to start the private money conversation[11:08] – 37+ places to find lenders (free resource)[12:17] – Why Chad chose rentals over flips or wholesale[14:10] – How he generated cash at acquisition and refinance without using banks[17:03] – The turning point: when cash flow pressure finally eased up[18:22] – The lender mindset shift: lower rates = lower risk = more money raised[22:10] – The case for 10-year, interest-only loans[25:05] – How to work with Chad or learn more from him directly5 Key TakeawaysHigher interest ≠ more money.

In this episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I'm diving into something that's been showing up in my own intuitive eating journey lately—something sneaky that might be tripping you up too: the difference between pleasure and familiarity.Sometimes we reach for certain foods, habits, or even thought patterns not because they truly bring us joy or nourishment—but because they're familiar. They're predictable. And in a world that feels overwhelming or exhausting, predictability can feel like relief. But here's the thing: comfort isn't always the same as pleasure. And when we mistake one for the other, we can stay stuck in patterns that don't actually support us.This week, I'm exploring:Why our brains cling to the familiar (even when it's not helpful)How to tell the difference between real pleasure and short-term comfortWhy discomfort is part of the change process—and not a sign you're doing it wrongHow mindfulness can help you break free from old autopilot behaviors and make more nourishing, conscious choicesWhether it's food, body image habits, or the way you talk to yourself—this episode will help you tune in more clearly to what actually feels good (not just what feels known).

Dr. Berzin, named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People, shares insights from his journey from MIT's Center for Space Research to becoming a leading figure in sustainability and biotechnology. Dr. Berzin explains the unique properties of microalgae, emphasizing its efficiency in photosynthesis and ability to produce 100% nutrition with zero waste. They discuss the critical nutrients found in microalgae, such as Omega-3s, Vitamin B12, and bioavailable iron—essential for overall health, especially for women. Dr. Berzin highlights the shortcomings of traditional food sources like meat and plant-based foods, where much of the plant material becomes waste. He also discusses how fish derive their Omega-3s from algae, and how humans can skip the middleman by going straight to the source with microalgae supplements. The conversation shifts to Orlo Nutrition, where Dr. Berzin leads efforts in producing algae-based products sustainably. He discusses how VAXA's innovative technology ensures a consistent quality of microalgae and eliminates issues like unpleasant taste and odor, making the products not only nutritious but also enjoyable to consume. Dr. Tassone and Dr. Berzin explore how algae-based products from Orlo are made with minimal environmental impact, emphasizing the use of geothermal energy in Iceland to achieve a carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative footprint.Key Topics Discussed:The nutritional power of microalgae: Omega-3s, Vitamin B12, and bioavailable ironMicroalgae as a sustainable solution with zero wasteHow Orlo Nutrition's algae products maintain consistent, high-quality nutritionThe innovative production process at Orlo that makes microalgae supplements more palatableThe environmental sustainability of algae farming with a carbon-neutral or carbon-negative footprintNotable Quotes:“Microalgae are world champions in photosynthesis—100% nutrition, no waste.” – Dr. Isaac Berzin“Iron in spirulina is 6.5 times more bioavailable than in beef.” – Dr. Isaac Berzin“The algae production phase is carbon-negative.
