Justin sits down with Allison Skidmore, Chief Customer Officer at Optimizely, the world's first operating system for marketing teams.Allison brings a rich perspective shaped by stints at Adobe, Stackla, Gigya, and SAP across Asia Pacific before landing in the US to lead customer success at Optimizely. This episode explores how AI is fundamentally reshaping the marketer's daily workflow, what great onboarding looks like in an AI-native world, and what the CCO role must become as organizations race to stay ahead.Episode Notes & Key Topics1. Allison's Career JourneyStarted in SEM at a Sydney agency later acquired by Adobe, rode the wave of digital marketing's early SaaS transition.Spent six years at Adobe running customer success across Asia Pacific, building offshore teams and subscription services models.Moved through Stackla and Gigya (acquired by SAP nine months in), then scaled the CS role across all SAP lines of business in APAC.Joined Optimizely two years ago after reconnecting with CEO Alex Atzberger, bringing global enterprise CS experience to a fast-growing martech platform.2. What Stays the Same in Customer SuccessThe sales-to-CS handover friction is timeless: it never goes away regardless of company size or stage.Digital-first customer engagement (email, offshore teams, automation) has been a constant scaling challenge for decades.The shift from time-and-materials professional services to subscription models remains a dominant trend.Tech advancements create the inflection points: AI is today's example.3. AI and the Marketer's Day-in-the-LifeAllison paints a vivid picture: by 10 AM, an AI-enabled marketer has completed a full week's worth of work.Optimizely's Opal AI product is provisioned across the entire team, enabling agent building, workflow automation, and access to tools like Claude and Gemini.The opportunity is not just efficiency, it's the ability to pull forward backlogged work and shrink implementation timelines (e.g., from 12 months to 3).The companies moving fastest are the ones blocking calendar time to train their teams on prompting and agent-building, not just giving access.4. Reimagining Onboarding and the Customer JourneyAllison's framework: great onboarding is the seamless alignment of three channels, human-to-human touchpoints, email marketing, and in-product experience.Customers now expect to self-serve answers (just like asking AI instead of calling a mechanic), human-heavy onboarding alone no longer cuts it.Consistency is the key: the message the customer gets in the product, in their inbox, and from their CSM should be identical, no basic repeats, no skipped steps.5. The Evolving Role of the CCOThe C-suite fundamentals don't change: stay curious, solve problems, skate to where the puck is going.Today, the puck is AI. If you can't build an agent, you can't expect your team to.Allison is actively realigning roles, KPIs, and commissions around AI-native execution.The CCO who can't leverage AI to scale themselves and reimagine their business will become extinct, just like Blockbuster.Lego is the positive model: reinvention again and again.6. What's Top of Mind for 2026AI continues to dominate, but the customer journey evolution is a close second.Consumers are shifting from Google to ChatGPT and similar tools, which means brands must optimize for GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), not just SEO.Personalization is entering a new era: every touchpoint, not just the website.
What if the thing standing between you and your next promotion as a CSM isn't working harder but learning how to spot expansion opportunities without ever feeling like a salesperson?In this episode, I'm breaking down two ridiculously simple approaches to expansion that you can start using immediately, even on your very next customer call. We'll walk through the quick “inside-out” method to uncover low-hanging opportunities in your existing accounts, plus the more strategic “outside-in” approach that helps you think like a trusted advisor and connect your customer's business goals to real revenue opportunities.By the end of this episode, you'll start seeing expansion differently… not as selling, but as understanding your customer's business and connecting the dots in a way that naturally creates growth. If you've ever felt uncomfortable with upselling or worried it's not “your job” as a CSM, this might completely change how you think about your role and your earning potential. Hit play and let's talk about the playbook most CSMs were never taught.02:09 – Why Getting Comfortable With Selling is Key for CSM Career Growth04:01 – The Fastest “Inside-Out” Way to Find Expansion Opportunities07:59 – Three Natural Questions to Uncover Expansion on Customer Calls12:47 – The Strategic Power of the “Outside-In” Approach (and Goal Trees)22:03 – How Treating Expansion as Problem-Solving (Not Selling) Gets You PromotedFREEBIES & RESOURCES:
Junaid Shaikh: The Eager Scrum Master Trap, Why Proposing Solutions Too Early Can Backfire In this episode, Junaid shares a story from his early days as a Scrum Master when enthusiasm got ahead of experience. Fresh from a CSM certification and full of ideas, he walked into teams and started proposing solutions — "No, this is not how you should do it." It felt obvious. It wasn't. The wake-up call came when he proposed working agreements to a team that had been collaborating well for two years. The pushback was immediate: "Why do we need this?" He realized he was bringing a tool he'd seen elsewhere without first understanding whether the team actually had the problem that tool was meant to solve. This led to a key shift in his approach: stop assuming. Instead of going in with answers, Junaid started creating small tiger teams with the affected people, facilitating sessions where they owned the solution. The result? Much higher acceptance and genuine continuous improvement. These days, Junaid tests his ideas before bringing them to the full team. He connects with individual team members first — his "closer allies" — to validate whether his analysis matches reality. Only when a few people confirm "yes, this is a real problem" does he bring the proposal to the group. As Vasco puts it: not all tools are appropriate at all times for all people. The same working agreements that were wrong for one team at one moment might be exactly right for a different team, or the same team at a different moment.

#405 In this episode, Guy welcomed returning guest White Eagle Medicine Woman Suraj Holzwarth to discuss the Crystal Skull Method (CSM), a hands-on energy modality described as a next-level, "quantum" evolution of cranial sacral therapy synthesizing ancient practices and working with 32 skull points and 32 body points. The method aims to activate the pineal, pituitary, thalamus, and hypothalamus for total health, longevity, and expanded consciousness, emphasizing intention, trauma integration, and ethical readiness as more "light" activates. Suraj explained the pineal gland's role in serotonin/melatonin, intuition, and spiritual connection, and describes CSM's use of dual-hand electromagnetic holding, breathwork to "decalcify" and expand "beams of light," grounding to regulate intensity, and practitioner finger/element techniques to balance heat and coolness. They also explored sacred geometry—especially the Sri Yantra and torus field—as a grid CSM builds around the skull and body. The episode included information about a nine-day CSM training in Port Macquarie, Australia (Nov 20–28, 2026) and directs listeners to whirlingrainbow.com.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 9 Marzo 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Investimenti e MercatiTestate: Corriere della Sera (L'Economia), la Repubblica (Affari&Finanza), Il Sole 24 Ore * Ambienta raggiunge i 5 miliardi di masse gestite: La società di private equity guidata da Nino Tronchetti Provera ha completato oltre 100 investimenti in 19 anni. Tra le ultime operazioni spicca l'acquisizione del 70% della bergamasca Pieco (depurazione acque), che ha quintuplicato i ricavi a 20 milioni di € in tre anni. L'obiettivo è raddoppiare gli asset a 10 miliardi di € entro tre anni per sbarcare negli USA. * Legge Capitali e incertezze sulla governance: Il nuovo sistema di voto per i CdA (voto singolo sui candidati) è criticato per l'imprevedibilità degli esiti. Il rischio segnalato è una minore trasparenza che potrebbe penalizzare l'interesse dei fondi esteri verso il mercato italiano. * Reazione dei mercati alla crisi in Iran: Lo Stoxx Europe 600 ha perso il 5,55% dall'inizio delle ostilità, bruciando circa 918 miliardi di € di capitalizzazione. Insieme a Wall Street, le perdite globali superano i 2.000 miliardi di $.Industria e TecnologiaTestate: Corriere della Sera (L'Economia), La Stampa, Il Messaggero * L'AI potenzia gli studi legali: Secondo il report Future Ready Lawyer 2026, il 92% dei professionisti legali utilizza già strumenti di AI. L'impatto sul business è significativo: il 52% degli studi ha registrato un aumento dei ricavi, con punte di crescita del fatturato tra l'11% e il 20%. * Droni autonomi per la Ocean Economy: La startup Mirai Robotics ha raccolto 3,5 milioni di € (round pre-seed) per sviluppare veicoli marini a guida autonoma lunghi 9 metri. Il sistema punta a gestire il pattugliamento costiero e l'ispezione di infrastrutture critiche sottomarine. * Export italiano nel Golfo: Le vendite di macchinari, metalli e software verso Arabia Saudita, Emirati e Qatar valgono circa 21 miliardi di €. La meccanica strumentale rappresenta il 30% del totale esportato nell'area.Fisco e NormativaTestate: La Stampa, la Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore * Emergenza Accise e caro-carburante: Con il greggio che ha toccato quota 100-102 $ al barile, il Governo valuta un decreto per attivare le "accise mobili". Il meccanismo prevede uno sconto fiscale automatico finanziato dall'extragettito IVA: in uno scenario con Brent a 105 $, il risparmio stimato sarebbe di 4,7 cent/€ sulla benzina e 7,5 cent/€ sul diesel. * Riforma della Giustizia e Referendum: Confermate le date del 22 e 23 marzo per il voto confermativo (senza quorum) sulla separazione delle carriere. Il provvedimento prevede la creazione di due distinti Csm e un'Alta Corte disciplinare con membri estratti a sorte. * Taglio alla Burocrazia PNRR: L'Italia deve semplificare ancora 170 procedure entro giugno 2026 per rispettare gli impegni europei. Attualmente sono 430 le procedure già snellite. Il costo della burocrazia per le imprese italiane è stimato in 43 miliardi di € all'anno.Banche e CreditoTestate: la Repubblica (Affari&Finanza) * Stallo sulle fusioni bancarie europee: Nonostante utili robusti e 300 miliardi di € distribuiti agli azionisti dal 2022, le aggregazioni transfrontaliere restano bloccate da difese nazionali e veti politici. * Il caso UniCredit e Commerzbank: La banca guidata da Andrea Orcel detiene circa il 26-30% dell'istituto tedesco, ma l'opposizione politica a Berlino frena l'integrazione per proteggere il finanziamento al Mittelstand.Energia e GeopoliticaTestate: Corriere della Sera, La Stampa, Il Messaggero * Effetto Hormuz e sicurezza del gas: Lo Stretto di Hormuz gestisce il 20% della domanda globale di petrolio e gas liquefatto (GNL). Il Qatar copre il 40% delle importazioni italiane di GNL. Un'interruzione prolungata richiederebbe di deviare carichi dagli USA, con un conseguente aumento strutturale dei costi energetici. * Nuovo assetto in Iran: Mojtaba Khamenei (56 anni) è stato nominato nuova Guida Suprema dopo l'uccisione del padre Ali. La nomina è avvenuta sotto la spinta dell'ala radicale dei Pasdaran. * Escalation Militare: In nove giorni di conflitto si stimano circa 1.400 morti in Iran. Gli USA hanno speso oltre 11 miliardi di $ per le operazioni belliche iniziali.Lavoro e FormazioneTestate: La Stampa * Peso economico del lavoro di cura: Per il 33,8% delle famiglie italiane, la spesa per l'assistenza (anziani e disabili) supera il 30% del reddito mensile. Nel 53,8% dei casi, l'assenza di supporto porta le donne della famiglia a ridurre o abbandonare l'attività lavorativa.Executive Takeaway (Insight per C-suite) * Rischio Supply Chain Energetica: La dipendenza italiana dal GNL del Qatar (40%) espone il Paese a shock di prezzo immediati se la crisi di Hormuz dovesse protrarsi oltre le 4 settimane, con previsioni di petrolio a 150 $/barile. * AI come Driver di Margine: L'adozione dell'AI generativa nel settore professionale (legale/consulenziale) non è più opzionale, con aumenti documentati dei ricavi fino al 20% e risparmi di tempo settimanali del 10-20%. * Incertezza Normativa sui Capitali: Le nuove regole sulle liste dei CdA introducono un fattore di opacità che potrebbe scoraggiare gli investitori istituzionali esteri, richiedendo un coordinamento strategico preventivo tra i soci. * Resilienza della Globalizzazione: Nonostante i conflitti e i dazi (interscambio USA-Cina ridotto di 1/3 nel 2025), il commercio globale di servizi continua a crescere (+5% nel 2025), suggerendo che le rotte commerciali sono più adattabili della narrazione politica. * Drenaggio di Talento Femminile: Il deficit strutturale nei servizi di cura impone una "tassa occulta" del 30% sul reddito delle famiglie e continua a erodere la forza lavoro femminile, rappresentando un limite alla crescita del PIL nazionale.

Analisti prevedono il superamento di quota 100$ al barile. * Gas: Quotazioni al TTF di Amsterdam salite del 50-67% in una settimana, raggiungendo i 52,8 €/Mwh. * Sicurezza Alimentare: Il Golfo esporta il 14,4% dei fertilizzanti mondiali (urea al 45% della produzione globale). L'urea è rincarata del 26% in una settimana (600$/t). * Scenario Bellico: Documenti dell'intelligence USA (NIC) ritengono "improbabile" che il conflitto porti al collasso del regime iraniano.Fisco, Normativa e DifesaTestate: Il Messaggero / Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera * Accise Mobili: Il Governo valuta un decreto per attivare le accise mobili, utilizzando l'extra-gettito IVA per ridurre l'imposta sui carburanti di circa 6-7 centesimi. * Lotta all'Evasione: Piano Gdf 2026 contro le "Partite IVA apri e chiudi". Target: chiusura di 9.000 posizioni nel 2026 (9.500 nel 2027).

La Lombardia è la regione più colpita con 2,3 mld di costi aggiuntivi. * Carburanti: Il gasolio ha superato i 2 €/litro in autostrada. Per il settore autotrasporto, si stimano costi aggiuntivi di 11.000 € per singolo autocarro. * Pharma: Il Gruppo Menarini chiude il 2025 con fatturato di 4,89 miliardi € (+6%). Sospeso l'investimento per il nuovo stabilimento di Firenze: i costi sono quasi raddoppiati, passando da 150 a 300 milioni €. * Semiconduttori: Il blocco delle forniture di elio e gas rari dal Qatar mette a rischio la filiera dei chip in Asia (Samsung, SK Hynix).Politica e Riforme (Referendum)Testate: Corriere della Sera / la Repubblica / La Verità / Il Fatto Quotidiano * Referendum Giustizia (22-23 marzo): Scontro frontale sulla separazione delle carriere e la riforma del CSM. Marina Berlusconi sostiene il "Sì" per una giustizia "terza"; l'opposizione e costituzionalisti (Enzo Cheli) paventano un indebolimento del potere giudiziario. * Comunali Milano 2027: Inizia la ricerca del candidato civico per il centrodestra (nomi emersi: Marina Brambilla, Ferruccio Resta), ma i partiti alleati frenano sul profilo puramente civico.Executive Takeaway (Insight per C-Suite) * Shock Energetico e Stagflazione: Il raddoppio dei prezzi del gas in una settimana e il petrolio verso i 100$ configurano un rischio concreto di riaccensione dell'inflazione e frenata del PIL nel Q2 2026. * Rischio Supply Chain: Il blocco dei fertilizzanti azotati e dell'urea produrrà un aumento dei prezzi alimentari (pane, pasta, carne) con un lag di pochi mesi, impattando sui consumi interni. * Governance e Stabilità: La linea governativa di confermare i vertici delle partecipate di Stato (Eni, Enel, Leonardo) punta a garantire continuità operativa in una fase di estrema volatilità internazionale. * Resilienza Industriale: Grandi player (es. Menarini) stanno mettendo in pausa investimenti strategici causa raddoppio dei costi di costruzione e incertezza energetica, segnalando un possibile rallentamento del CAPEX industriale in Italia. * Focus Fiscale: La nuova strategia Gdf focalizzata sulle "Partite IVA apri e chiudi" e l'incrocio delle banche dati aumenterà la pressione sui controlli neocostituiti, richiedendo massima compliance documentale.

Armando Spataro, Nello Rossi"Le ragioni del no"La posta in gioco nel referendum costituzionaleEditori Laterzawww.laterza.itDue magistrati, con una lunga esperienza professionale, spiegano le ragioni del no e la posta in gioco in questo referendum. I sostenitori del sì faranno leva su questioni molto sentite dalla generalità dei cittadini: la lunghezza dei processi, i veri o presunti errori giudiziari, le responsabilità dei magistrati, i motivi del conflitto tra politica e magistratura. In realtà, la revisione costituzionale si occupa assai poco della giustizia italiana e punta a ridefinire, a tutto vantaggio del governo, l'equilibrio tra i poteri dello Stato rendendo la magistratura più debole. Se la riforma andrà in porto, l'attuale maggioranza di governo si sentirà incoraggiata a procedere con il premierato sulla via di una modifica in senso autoritario dello Stato.Nello Rossi è direttore della rivista “Questione Giustizia” e vicepresidente del Tribunale Permanente dei Popoli (Fondazione Basso). Nella sua vita professionale è stato giudice e pubblico ministero, svolgendo tra l'altro i ruoli di avvocato generale presso la Corte di Cassazione, di consigliere di Cassazione e di procuratore aggiunto a Roma.

Ha scritto numerosi articoli e saggi, in particolare in materia di diritto penale, di ordinamento giudiziario e su temi di giustizia, tra i quali Il potere e la ribelle. Creonte o Antigone? Un dialogo (con Livio Pepino, 2019).Armando Spataro, magistrato dal 1975 al 2018, è stato pubblico ministero e dal 1998 al 2002 componente del Csm.

Il ruolo dell'AD di MPS, Luigi Lovaglio, è ritenuto "fondamentale" dagli inquirenti. * Politiche Monetarie e BCE: La Banca Centrale Europea ha ridotto le perdite a 1,3 miliardi di €.

LEADERS cu Andrea Chiș. Ce se întâmplă cu justiția din România? Cine controlează sistemul și de ce contează pentru fiecare dintre noi? În acest episod Leaders, Cătălin Striblea o are față în față pe Andrea Chiș, fost judecător și fost membru al CSM, într-o conversație directă despre mecanismele din interiorul sistemului judiciar. Andrea Chiș vorbește deschis despre: ▶ Cum este controlat sistemul judiciar „din interior" ▶ Presiuni și dosare disciplinare folosite ca instrumente de intimidare ▶ Mesaje subtile transmise magistraților pentru a nu vorbi public ▶ Legătura directă dintre funcționarea justiției și nivelul de trai al cetățenilor ▶ De ce investigarea corupției influențează economia și încrederea publică ▶ Decizia de a se pensiona: „Nu am vrut să mai rămân într-un sistem pe care știam că nu îl mai pot schimba din interior."

What if landing a $200K Customer Success role has a lot less to do with your title and a lot more to do with one thing almost no one is tracking?In this episode, I went full data-nerd and analyzed 10 recent clients who all accepted Customer Success offers between $175K–$230K. I pulled apart their resumes, KPIs, career paths, and job search histories to uncover the patterns that actually showed up at this level — not the advice we think matters, but what the data clearly revealed.I'm breaking down the types of companies paying top dollar, why domain depth quietly beats title chasing, and the specific metrics that consistently showed up across every high earner. We'll also talk about why “just CSM” titles aren't the red flag people think they are and what truly drives compensation once you're aiming for $200K and beyond.By the end of this episode, you'll have a much clearer roadmap for where to focus and what to stop stressing about if a $200K role is your goal. If you've been questioning whether you're on the right path, this will give you answers.

Many PTs expect APTA membership to deliver immediate, visible ROI — discounts, perks, and fast results.

That’s our big push…” 8:49 “ This is the place to network and to connect. That is the most important and valuable thing that I would give anybody who’s new or newer to attending CSM.” 27:46 “ So comfortable shoes are definite must!” 27:50 “I’ll remember the first time I ever went to CSM I walked in and I couldn’t believe the masses of people that were crossing the street and walking around, and they were all PTs or PTAs, all of them. They just took over the city. The whole city was taken over and it’s a lot, but it’s so energetic. It’s so much fun and there’s so many great things you can get there.” Rapid Responses: If you had to go to work at Disneyland as a Disney character for the day, which character would you pick? James: “ I’ll go with Aladdin. I actually have one of my first jobs in acute care in Naples, Florida. Shout out Naples Community Hospital. They I had a nurse who said. Did you know that your hair looks like Aladdin? Me? A lot of always will be Aladdin from here on out.” Enjeen: Goofy You know you work in acute care when… Enjeen: “When you have to go look for your nurse on the floor before you see a patient.” James: “So it’s standing at the bedside first time in a long time and they get to embrace for, physically for the first time in a long time.

From his upcoming presentations at CSM to the broader evolution of the profession, Danny breaks down how business models have changed, why scalability is now real, and what this means for clinicians who want more autonomy, impact, and long-term opportunity. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why distraction during documentation hurts rapport and outcomes, and how AI scribes can fix it What Doc Danny is presenting at CSM and why cash-based models are gaining momentum How starting a clinic inside a gym can lower risk and accelerate early growth Why cash-based practices are more scalable today than ever before How entrepreneurship is becoming a larger part of the physical therapy profession Why specialization and niche expertise benefit both clinicians and patients What clinicians must nail in the early phase of business to build something sustainable How non-traditional career paths are opening new doors inside and outside the clinic What's Changing in the Profession Entrepreneurship in physical therapy is still a small percentage of the profession, but it's growing fast. More clinicians are choosing self-employment, niche practices, and performance-based models that prioritize one-on-one care, long-term outcomes, and lifestyle flexibility. According to Doc Danny, this shift isn't slowing down. Why This Matters Patients want personalized care. Clinicians want autonomy and fulfillment. Cash-based models sit at the intersection of both. This episode explains why now is a unique moment for physical therapists to build meaningful businesses that create real enterprise value.
