With over two decades of experience, Cory specializes in building the Trust Proposition®—a framework designed to uncover hidden gaps and align leadership, culture, and performance.A powerful speaker and trusted advisor to senior teams, Cory helps leaders communicate with clarity and empower their teams to create environments where trust serves as the primary engine for growth.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Cory Scheer to explore the fundamental mechanics of building and sustaining trust in the sales world. Cory shares his deep research into why sales professionals must focus on their "Trust Proposition" before they ever lead with a "Value Proposition".The conversation dives into the practical building blocks of trustworthiness, competency, problem-solving, and authentic care, and highlights why active listening remains the most effective tool in a salesperson's arsenal. Whether you are a veteran leader or a rising professional, this episode provides a blueprint for closing the trust gap to create lasting customer loyalty and meaningful results.KEY TAKEAWAYSTrust as the Foundation: deals stall and relationships fade without a firm belief in the truth of the person or the process.The Trust Proposition: Your trust proposition must precede and bolster your value proposition; value is only recognized once trust is established.The Three Pillars: Building trust requires mastering three specific elements: competency, problem-solving, and authentic care for others.The Power of Listening: Active listening is the single most powerful way to demonstrate that you genuinely care about a client's outcome.The Generational Shift: Younger professionals (ages 18–29) are highly sensitive to trust levels and will quickly exit environments where it is lacking.Outcome vs. Strategy: Real growth is not a strategy you implement, but an outcome of consistent, trustworthy actions.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESTrust is the firm belief in the truth of something or someone.The number one way to demonstrate care for others... is by listening actively.Mind the trust gap, get your trust proposition out on the business table as fast as possible.Growth is an outcome. It is not a strategy.

Most organizations aren't shaping the future of work, they're chasing it. In this episode, I share what CHROs admit privately but rarely say out loud: HR has become reactive, stuck in firefighting mode, and focused on looking good instead of doing what actually drives results. Traditional HR metrics are backward-looking, accountability has eroded, and the pendulum has swung dangerously toward entitlement. This isn't about blaming employees. It's about restoring honesty, balance, and courage in leadership. Because work is a value exchange—and when leaders are afraid to say that, both performance and culture suffer. The future of work doesn't need more perks. It needs leaders willing to tell the truth.

On this week's episode, I'm pleased to be joined by W. David Marx, author of the new book Blank Space: A Cultural History of the Twenty-First Century. Alongside Marx's Status and Culture, this book is one of the key texts to understanding how and why the culture has shifted so radically so quickly: the combination of “poptimism” (we discuss what, precisely, this is early on) and cultural omnivorism (the merging of all genres and all forms into a sort of equally viable mass entertainment) and the internet's flattening of culture have led to a stagnant culture and a revanchist counter-counterculture eager to exact revenge and facing no real opposition in that effort. If you enjoyed our conversation, or simply want to understand how we wound up in the world we wake up to every morning, I strongly recommend picking up Marx's book. And if anything was unclear from our chat, drop me a line in the comments and hopefully I can help clear things up!

250 years ago tomorrow, a relatively unknown colonist swept up in revolutionary fever, Thomas Paine, wrote and published a pamphlet called Common Sense, criticizing King George III of England. The document would be one of the most sold and circulated written works published in America, before or after independence, and helped tip the scales for Independence from Great Britain, which was realized just 6 months later. For the anniversary, Julie Silverbrook, vice president of Civic Education at the National Constitution Center, reflects on the legacy and present implications of "Common Sense."

Introduction In this Deep Dive episode, we dive into PwC's latest AI Business Predictions — a roadmap offering insight into how companies can harness artificial intelligence not just for efficiency, but as a strategic lever to reshape operations, workforce, and long-term growth. We explore why “AI adoption” is now about more than technology: it's about vision, leadership, and rethinking what work and human potential look like in a rapidly shifting landscape. Key Insights from PwC AI success is as much about vision as about adoption According to PwC, what separates companies that succeed with AI from those that merely dabble is leadership clarity and strategic alignment. Firms that view AI as central to their business model — rather than as an add-on — are more likely to reap measurable gains.  AI agents can meaningfully expand capacity — even double workforce impact One bold prediction: with AI agents and automation, a smaller human team can produce work at a scale that might resemble having a much larger workforce — without proportionally increasing staff size. For private firms especially, this means you can “leapfrog” traditional growth limitations.  From pilots to scale: real ROI is emerging — but requires discipline While many organizations experimented with AI in 2023–2024, PwC argues that 2025 and 2026 are about turning experiments into engines of growth. The companies that succeed are those that pick strategic high-impact areas, double down, and avoid spreading efforts too thin.  Workforce composition will shift — rise of the “AI-generalist” As AI agents take over more routine, data-heavy or repetitive tasks, human roles will trend toward design, oversight, strategy, and creative judgment. The “AI-generalist” — someone who can bridge human judgment, organizational culture, and AI tools — will become increasingly valuable.  Responsible AI, governance, and sustainability are non-negotiables PwC insists that success with AI isn't just about technology rollout; it's also about embedding ethical governance, sustainability, and data integrity. Organizations that treat AI as a core piece of long-term strategy — not a flashy add-on — will be the ones that unlock lasting value.  What This Means for Leaders, Culture & Burnout (Especially for Humans, Not Just AI) Opportunity to reimagine roles — more meaning, less drudgery As AI takes over repetitive, transactional work, human roles can shift toward creativity, strategy, mentorship, emotional intelligence, and leadership. That aligns with your mission around workplace culture and “Burnout-Proof” leadership: this could reduce burnout if implemented thoughtfully. Culture becomes the strategic differentiator As more companies adopt similar AI tools, organizational vision, values, psychological safety, and human connection may become the real competitive edge. Leaders who “get culture right” will be ahead — not because of tech, but because of people. Upskilling, transparency and trust are essential With AI in the mix, employees need clarity, training, and trust. Mismanaged adoption could lead to fear, resistance, or misalignment. Leaders must shepherd not just technology, but human transition. AI-driven efficiency must be balanced with empathy and human-centered leadership The automation and “workforce multiplier” potential is seductive — but if leaders lose sight of human needs, purpose, and wellbeing, there's a risk of burnout, disengagement, or erosion of cultural integrity. For small & private companies: a chance to leapfrog giants — but only with clarity and discipline Smaller firms often lack the resources of large enterprises, but according to PwC, those constraints may shrink when AI is used strategically. For mission-driven companies (like yours), this creates an opportunity to scale impact — provided leadership stays grounded in purpose and values. Why This Topic Matters for the Breakfast Leadership Network & Our Audience Given your work in leadership development, burnout prevention, workplace culture, and coaching — PwC's predictions offer a crucial lens. It's no longer optional for organizations to ignore AI. The question isn't “Will we use AI?” but “How will we use AI — and who do we become in the process?” For founders, people-leaders, HR strategists: this is a call to be intentional. To lead with vision, grounded in human values. To design workplaces that thrive in the AI era — not suffer. Questions for Reflection  What parts of your organization's workflow could be transformed by AI — and what human strengths should those tools free up rather than replace? How might embracing AI shift your organizational culture and the expectations for leaders? What ethical, psychological, or human-impact considerations must you address before “going all in” on AI? As a leader, how will you ensure the “AI-generalists” — employees blending tech fluency with empathy, creativity, and human judgment — are cultivated and supported? How do you prevent burnout and disconnection while dramatically increasing capacity and output via AI?

The future of commerce hinges on agility, but most brands remain stuck at spreadsheet speed. Louis Camassa, Director of Product Management at Rithum, breaks down findings from the 2026 Commerce Readiness Index and reveals why data quality, inventory latency, and algorithmic visibility matter more than channel expansion. We're uncovering the infrastructure bottlenecks threatening AI's potential, and what it actually takes for brands to compete when algorithms decide what gets discovered.Your 2026 Resolution: Get UnstuckKey takeaways:63% of commerce teams face data quality issues affecting business decisionsInventory latency remains a competitive differentiator in agentic commerce experiencesZero-click phenomenon reducing referral traffic by 9% across e-commerce channelsAI compute costs compressed 10x in one year, matching traditional searchEnergy infrastructure, not algorithms, poses the greatest bottleneck to AI advancementKey Quotes:[00:02:04] Lou Camassa: "Most companies, whether you're a retailer or brand, you're moving at spreadsheet speed. That's just not the way of the future."[00:10:55] Lou Camassa: "We don't want to take from the past and just push it into the future. When we go into a chat experience, we don't want to drop somebody onto a homepage with a banner and categories. Let's think about this differently."[00:18:58] Lou Camassa: "We're seeing drops of about 9% across e-commerce in general on referral sources from Google because data is just being propagated in the AI overviews."[00:24:04] Lou Camassa: "Inventory latency is going to be a big game changer. It helps us get faster shipping and creates a competitive factor, specifically in LLM search, where everything else is commoditized."Associated Links:Check out Rithum's 2026 Commerce Readiness IndexLearn more about Rithum's offerings.Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

In this second Best Of compilation, our team distilled the most powerful insights from 2025, and some from 2024—of Investing in Integrity. Spanning leadership, culture, and purpose-driven finance and investing, this special edition brings together defining moments from more than 40 conversations with some of the world's most thoughtful executives, investors, and builders.Rather than a simple highlight reel, this episode revisits key voices across multiple dimensions of leadership — reflecting how the same principles show up differently in how we lead, how we build culture, and how we deploy capital. Selecting these moments was no easy task, but each was chosen for its ability to inspire us to think more deeply our lives and our work. It's divided into three sections:Leadership That Transforms: We begin with reflections on leadership at its core — how leaders think, grow, and show up when stakes are high. Featuring Howard Marks, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management; Bill George, former Board Director at Goldman Sachs, Executive Education Fellow at Harvard Business School, and author of True North; Doug Kimmelman, Senior Partner at ECP; and Steve Ellis, Co-Managing Partner of The Rise Fund at TPG, this section explores humility, self-awareness, conviction, and the evolving nature of values. Together, these insights illuminate what it truly means to lead with character in complex environments.Culture, Purpose & Integrity: We shift into the essential work of shaping organizational culture through the experiences of Bei Ling, CHRO at Wells Fargo; Pamela Alexander, Head of Corporate Citizenship at KKR; and Howard Marks (returning), this section reveals how trust is built, how purpose is operationalized, and how integrity becomes a guiding force inside the world's most influential institutions.Finance as a Force for Good: Finally, we explore how leadership and culture translate into action — particularly in the world of finance. Featuring Steve Ellis (returning), Trae Stephens, General Partner at Founders Fund, and Greg Shell, Partner at Goldman Sachs, this closing section demonstrates how capital, when aligned with long-term thinking and human impact, can be a powerful force for good. These voices challenge us to move beyond profit alone toward outcomes that expand opportunity and strengthen communities.In closing, Howard Marks shares a final reflection on generosity, underscoring the importance of giving back as a cornerstone of purposeful leadership.Whether you're leading a team, shaping culture, entering finance, or striving to grow personally and professionally, this episode is designed to accelerate your development and deepen your sense of purpose.This compilation isn't just a highlight reel — it's a blueprint.A blueprint for leadership anchored in character.A blueprint for careers aligned with purpose.A blueprint for a financial system that lifts society up.We've curated this episode to equip you with actionable insights you can carry into your work, your relationships, and your life.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Aurelio Gialluca, an economist and full stack data professional who works across finance, retail, and AI as both a data engineer and machine learning developer, while also exploring human consciousness and psychology. Their wide-ranging conversation covers the intersection of science and psychology, the unique cultural characteristics that make Argentina a haven for eccentrics (drawing parallels to the United States), and how Argentine culture has produced globally influential figures from Borges to Maradona to Che Guevara. They explore the current AI landscape as a "centralizing force" creating cultural homogenization (particularly evident in LinkedIn's cookie-cutter content), discuss the potential futures of AI development from dystopian surveillance states to anarchic chaos, and examine how Argentina's emotionally mature, non-linear communication style might offer insights for navigating technological change. The conversation concludes with Gialluca describing his ambitious project to build a custom water-cooled workstation with industrial-grade processors for his quantitative hedge fund, highlighting the practical challenges of heat management and the recent tripling of RAM prices due to market consolidation.Timestams00:00 Exploring the Intersection of Psychology and Science02:55 Cultural Eccentricity: Argentina vs. the United States05:36 The Influence of Religion on National Identity08:50 The Unique Argentine Cultural Landscape11:49 Soft Power and Cultural Influence14:48 Political Figures and Their Cultural Impact17:50 The Role of Sports in Shaping National Identity20:49 The Evolution of Argentine Music and Subcultures23:41 AI and the Future of Cultural Dynamics26:47 Navigating the Chaos of AI in Culture33:50 Equilibrating Society for a Sustainable Future35:10 The Patchwork Age: Decentralization and Society35:56 The Impact of AI on Human Connection38:06 Individualism vs. Collective Rules in Society39:26 The Future of AI and Global Regulations40:16 Biotechnology: The Next Frontier42:19 Building a Personal AI Lab45:51 Tiers of AI Labs: From Personal to Industrial48:35 Mathematics and AI: The Foundation of Innovation52:12 Stochastic Models and Predictive Analytics55:47 Building a Supercomputer: Hardware InsightsKey Insights1. Argentina's Cultural Exceptionalism and Emotional Maturity: Argentina stands out globally for allowing eccentrics to flourish and having a non-linear communication style that Gialluca describes as "non-monotonous systems." Argentines can joke profoundly and be eccentric while simultaneously being completely organized and straightforward, demonstrating high emotional intelligence and maturity that comes from their unique cultural blend of European romanticism and Latino lightheartedness.2. Argentina as an Underrecognized Cultural Superpower: Despite being introverted about their achievements, Argentina produces an enormous amount of global culture through music, literature, and iconic figures like Borges, Maradona, Messi, and Che Guevara. These cultural exports have shaped entire generations worldwide, with Argentina "stealing the thunder" from other nations and creating lasting soft power influence that people don't fully recognize as Argentine.3. AI's Cultural Impact Follows Oscillating Patterns: Culture operates as a dynamic system that oscillates between centralization and decentralization like a sine wave. AI currently represents a massive centralizing force, as seen in LinkedIn's homogenized content, but this will inevitably trigger a decentralization phase. The speed of this cultural transformation has accelerated dramatically, with changes that once took generations now happening in years.4. The Coming Bifurcation of AI Futures: Gialluca identifies two extreme possible endpoints for AI development: complete centralized control (the "Mordor" scenario with total surveillance) or complete chaos where everyone has access to dangerous capabilities like creating weapons or viruses. Finding a middle path between these extremes is essential for society's survival, requiring careful equilibrium between accessibility and safety.5. Individual AI Labs Are Becoming Democratically Accessible: Gialluca outlines a tier system for AI capabilities, where individuals can now build "tier one" labs capable of fine-tuning models and processing massive datasets for tens of thousands of dollars. This democratization means that capabilities once requiring teams of PhD scientists can now be achieved by dedicated individuals, fundamentally changing the landscape of AI development and access.6. Hardware Constraints Are the New Limiting Factor: While AI capabilities are rapidly advancing, practical implementation is increasingly constrained by hardware availability and cost. RAM prices have tripled in recent months, and the challenge of managing enormous heat output from powerful processors requires sophisticated cooling systems. These physical limitations are becoming the primary bottleneck for individual AI development.7. Data Quality Over Quantity Is the Critical Challenge: The main bottleneck for AI advancement is no longer energy or GPUs, but high-quality data for training. Early data labeling efforts produced poor results because labelers lacked domain expertise. The future lies in reinforcement learning (RL) environments where AI systems can generate their own high-quality training data, representing a fundamental shift in how AI systems learn and develop.

This is one of those conversations that pulls the curtain all the way back. In this powerful episode of The Birth Lounge, HeHe sits down with traditional birth companion and educator Billie Harrigan for an honest, unfiltered look at the modern medicalized birth system and how it impacts families. Together, they explore how maternity care has shifted away from physiology and toward control, efficiency, and liability, often at the expense of autonomy, trust, and emotional safety. Billie brings decades of lived experience and deep systems-level insight to this conversation, naming the ways many parents feel silenced, rushed, or traumatized within institutional birth settings. They talk openly about birth trauma, why so many families are opting out of the system altogether, and what it actually looks like to center consent, choice, and community support in birth. This episode is not about telling you what kind of birth to have. It's about understanding the system you're navigating so you can make informed, intentional decisions that align with your values. From the rise of free birth and traditional birth companionship to trauma-informed care and restoring birth wisdom to families, this conversation invites you to question what you've been told and reconnect with your own inner authority. If you've ever felt unsettled by how birth is handled, curious about alternatives, or hungry for a deeper understanding of how we got here, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Guest Bio: Billie Harrigan is a Traditional Birth Companion and owner of Birth Trauma Ontario in Canada who has been serving families for over 40 years. With extensive international experience, Billie understands the complexities of modern maternity services and the pervasive issues that contribute to birth-related trauma and negative outcomes. Today's conversation will challenge your assumptions of the medical system and push you to expand the perspectives in which you see the delivery of healthcare in the US & Canada by discussing common tactics used by cults and the resemblance of hospital care. We dive into the impact of non-trauma-informed care on patients' short-term and long-term well-being. Buckle up because this episode is like nothing else you've ever experienced!
