Erik Peterson, founder and CTO of Cloud Zero, discusses the critical importance of understanding and optimizing cloud costs, particularly in the context of AI. He emphasizes that businesses must shift their perspective from viewing cloud expenses as mere costs to seeing them as investments that should yield returns. By linking technology decisions to business goals, organizations can gain insights into their spending, allowing them to prioritize effectively and drive better outcomes. Peterson argues that understanding unit economics is essential for digital businesses to thrive in a cloud environment.The conversation delves into the complexities of AI costs, highlighting the challenges companies face when trying to measure the expenses associated with AI models. Peterson points out that many organizations are experimenting with AI without fully grasping the financial implications of their initiatives. As companies build advanced AI systems, they often overlook the costs of data movement and compute resources, leading to potential financial pitfalls. He stresses the need for businesses to understand the true cost of their AI endeavors to ensure they are achieving a positive return on investment.Peterson also addresses the current landscape of AI adoption, noting that while there is significant hype around generative AI, real success is found in solving specific, well-defined problems. He explains that organizations that focus on specialized applications of AI, where outputs can be validated, are seeing tangible benefits. By creating workflows that leverage multiple AI agents, companies can enhance their operational efficiency and make informed decisions about their spending.Finally, Peterson encourages businesses to view cost management as a driver of innovation rather than a hindrance. He cites examples of organizations that have successfully integrated cost considerations into their development processes, leading to faster innovation and improved product offerings. By adopting a mindset that prioritizes cost efficiency alongside creativity, companies can navigate the complexities of cloud spending and AI implementation, ultimately achieving greater success in their digital initiatives.

How do you know when to start, stop, or continue with a value analysis review? There should be valid reasons why you are going to perform a value analysis review, why you may stop it midstream, or why it must continue out to a final resolution. These are valid issues that VA/supply chain team members deal with every day. Today I am talking about the “Start, Stop, Continue” conundrum. If you get this dynamic right, you will do big things and get great results for your health system. If you get it wrong, you have just wasted a bunch of time with little or no results to show for it. The strategy here is to get it right more than you get it wrong.

In this episode, we uncover practical strategies for short-term rental cost management that every Airbnb host and boutique hotel owner should know. Tackling unexpected STR maintenance expenses, optimizing housekeeping operations, and reviewing recurring charges can be the difference between high profits and financial strain. When it comes to running short-term rentals or boutique hotels, many owners overlook the hidden costs that can add up fast. While regular maintenance, guest turnover, and general operational expenses are common in the STR industry, the way we manage these costs can make or break our profitability. A critical area to pay attention to is STR maintenance expenses. Repairing major issues like gas leaks or roof damage is costly not just for the direct repair but also for lost income from blocked days. Every day your property is unavailable translates to lost revenue, which, when added up, could mean thousands out of your pocket. In this episode, you'll learn: Factor in true maintenance costs: Include lost income from blocked days to get a comprehensive view of STR maintenance expenses. Get business income loss insurance: Protect your rental property income against major disruptions. Avoid over-blocking for housekeeping: Ensure cleaning is scheduled efficiently to maximize availability. Audit recurring expenses: Regularly review and renegotiate your software subscriptions and utility bills. Evaluate team productivity: Check if your support staff or virtual assistants are contributing effectively to cost management. Before you move on to your next reservation or guest interaction, take a step back and evaluate your current practices. Are there recurring expenses you could cut or renegotiate? Are blocked days for housekeeping holding back potential income? Even the smallest adjustments can lead to substantial financial improvements in your short-term rental cost management. Remember, every saved dollar adds up to a stronger bottom line. Need help managing your short-term rental and you don't want to go it alone? Shoot us a message here and we'll see if we can help.

"I would say a lot of it is education, helping both the member and the provider realize that it's okay for them to get healthcare in home." - Dan Cochran On the third of four podcasts filmed at a recent healthcare thinktank I hosted in Frisco, Texas, Dan Cochran, CEO of Cochran Health Ventures, joined me to discuss infusions, in-home healthcare, why the future of healthcare will be personalized, and how we educate consumers. I, and many others in this industry, consistently advocate that much of healthcare is way too complex for the average consumer and that they don't know how to utilize the solutions when they are available.

"I would say a lot of it is education, helping both the member and the provider realize that it's okay for them to get healthcare in home." - Dan Cochran On the third of four podcasts filmed at a recent healthcare thinktank I hosted in Frisco, Texas, Dan Cochran, CEO of Cochran Health Ventures, joined me to discuss infusions, in-home healthcare, why the future of healthcare will be personalized, and how we educate consumers. I, and many others in this industry, consistently advocate that much of healthcare is way too complex for the average consumer and that they don't know how to utilize the solutions when they are available.

“There's a reason why every insurance carrier likely owns or is owned by a pharmacy benefit management company, that's one of the ways that they can drive revenue." - Kristen Rivers My guest this week, Kristen Rivers from ParetoHealth, is one of the strongest healthcare advocates I know. This week on Self-Funded, Kristen and I discuss her upbringing, how that affects the work she does today, what caused her to leave a position at the biggest insurance company in the world, and why she believes in the work she's doing at ParetoHealth today. Along the way, we talk about some of the biggest problems in healthcare, from the user experience to misaligned incentives that profit from driving up the cost of healthcare.

How can businesses navigate the complexities of cloud costs while maximizing value across their operations? In this episode, we welcome Aviram Levy, Tech Evangelist at Zesty, to explore the current state of cloud usage and waste, and how companies can effectively manage and reduce these costs. With nearly two decades of experience in IT and cloud technology, Aviram offers valuable insights into the challenges that businesses face when transitioning to the cloud's on-demand model.

Aviram discusses the critical role of FinOps in cloud cost optimization, explaining how dedicated teams and processes can bridge the gap between engineering and finance. He highlights best practices for implementing FinOps strategies, including the use of tools and automation to gain better visibility into cloud usage and to drive efficiency across cloud operations. With economic volatility adding to the unpredictability of cloud costs, Aviram emphasizes the importance of proactive management and strategic planning. At the heart of this discussion is Zesty's innovative approach to cloud cost optimization. Aviram introduces Zesty's solutions, which provide real-time visibility into cloud usage and offer automated recommendations to reduce waste and optimize resources. He alsoexplains how Zesty's automation engines can dynamically scale resources based on demand, ensuring that businesses only pay for what they truly need. Additionally, the newly launched platform, "Insights," is designed to help organizations prioritize and automate optimization opportunities, making cloud management more efficient and cost-effective. Looking to the future, Aviram shares his vision for the next wave of cloud cost optimization, which will include deep tech solutions tailored to specific workloads like databases and containers. He also discusses the growing importance of multi-cloud support and the continuous advancements in automation that will further enhance cloud efficiency.

In her role as CFO of California Bank & Trust, Chikako Tyler faced the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank—the second financial crisis of her career. Unlike the first crisis, the Great Recession, which forced her to leave a rewarding career in commercial real estate, this time, Tyler was prepared to take charge. In 2009, as the economic downturn decimated the real estate market, Tyler recognized the need for a change. She pivoted to banking, taking on a temporary role at California Bank & Trust, where she quickly discovered her passion for the intricacies of finance. Her journey through various roles in the bank—ranging from specialized asset analysis to risk management—shaped her understanding of the business and led her to the CFO office. By the time Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in 2023, Tyler had nearly five years of experience as CFO under her belt. Drawing on the lessons from her diverse career, she confidently navigated the crisis. Unlike the uncertainty she faced during the Great Recession, Tyler leaned into her role, guiding her team through the tumultuous period. She championed her bankers to manage their customers proactively, quelling any possibility of panic. Tyler's journey from real estate to banking, and from crisis to confident leadership, underscores her adaptability and strategic mindset. Her ability to transform challenges into opportunities has not only defined her career but also strengthened California Bank & Trust's resilience in uncertain times.

Matt dives into speculative building and budgeting with Tim and Bryan Uhler of Pioneer Builders. Pioneer Builders, founded in 1978 by Tim and Bryan's parents, has built a reputation for efficient and high-quality speculative homes in Seattle, Washington. The Uhler brothers explain that speculative building involves constructing homes without a committed buyer, which requires smart land purchases and thorough feasibility studies to ensure profitability.The Uhlers emphasize the importance of buying land at a low price to maximize profit and avoiding emotional decisions, making informed, data-driven choices instead. Efficient building practices are crucial, and Tim highlights the benefits of self-performing labor tasks such as framing and concrete work to control costs. Investing in productivity-enhancing tools is essential for efficient operations, and when it comes to material choices, the Uhlers recommend selecting materials that balance cost and performance.Clear, simple communication with clients is also vital to justify costs, according to Bryan. Educating clients on the long-term benefits of quality construction can help differentiate their homes from competitors. This episode offers valuable advice for builders on managing costs, making informed material choices, and effectively communicating value to clients.Find Bryan & Tim on the Web:Instagram: @pioneerbuilders & @awesomeframersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pioneerbuildersWebsite: https://pioneerbuildersonline.com/profile/Find Matt and The Build Show on the web:Build Show Videos: https://buildshownetwork.com/go/mattrisingerInstagram: @risingerbuild and @thebuildshowTikTok: @thebuildshowYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@buildshowWebsite: https://risingerbuild.com/ and https://buildshownetwork.com/Join us at Build Show LIVE this November 7-9 in Austin, TX.
