I wanted this conversation to do two things at once. First, ground the hype in real practice. Second, show how a small country can punch well above its weight by connecting industry, academia, and government with purpose. With Chantelle Kiernan from IDA Ireland and Stephen Flannagan from Eli Lilly and Company, we explored what digital transformation really looks like on the factory floor in Ireland, why talent is the engine behind it, and how cross-sector collaboration is turning ideas into measurable outcomes. Ireland's manufacturing base employs hundreds of thousands and fuels exports, yet what stands out is the shared mindset. The shift toward Industry 5.0 puts people at the center while using digital, disruptive, and sustainable technologies to rethink production. Eli Lilly's experience shows how a digital-first culture changes everything. New sites start paperless by default. Established plants raise their game through micro-learning, data-driven problem solving, and champions who model the behavior. The message is simple. Technology only sticks when people see clear value and have the skills to act on it. From pilots to site-wide change Here's the thing. The strongest wins come from a strategic, site-wide approach rather than isolated pilots. Maturity assessments across pharma sites in Ireland revealed common patterns, shared bottlenecks, and repeatable opportunities. That insight helps teams justify investment, sharpen ROI arguments, and accelerate adoption without slowing production. Reinvestment in legacy facilities becomes a long-term advantage when you connect equipment, data, and people with a clear plan. This is where Ireland's ecosystem shows its class. Purpose-built centers like Digital Manufacturing Ireland, NIBRT, IMR, and I-FORM give teams a place to test before they invest. Indigenous tech SMEs sit at the same table as global pharma leaders and large tech firms, which means collaboration moves faster. When 50 percent or more of new R&D projects cite academic partnerships, you know something healthy is happening. Skills, STEM, and the mindset shift Upskilling came through as the decisive enabler. IDA Ireland supports companies with skills needs analysis and access to training. Universities co-create relevant courses. Micro-credentials and immersive apprenticeships build confidence on the shop floor. Stephen's point about micro-learning hit home. People learn best when they can apply knowledge to a problem they care about, right now. That keeps momentum high and spreads digital competence across teams without waiting on giant projects. Barriers still exist. Defining ROI, coping with regulatory complexity, and balancing change with daily production are real challenges. Culture is the swing factor. Leaders who set the tone, create space for experiments, and reward progress see faster results. GenAI is already shifting attitudes by improving personal productivity, which naturally opens minds to operational use cases like predictive maintenance, knowledge capture, and quality improvements. What comes next If the last decade was about connecting machines, the next decade will be about connecting knowledge. Expect smarter, greener, and more multidisciplinary manufacturing. AI will sit alongside advanced materials and sustainable design. The most resilient sites will combine agile infrastructure with strong learning cultures, so they can absorb change rather than resist it. Ireland's model of collaboration gives a useful signal. When industry, government, and academia align around shared outcomes, the runway gets longer and the takeoff gets smoother. This episode is about the practical choices that make transformation real. Strategic assessments. Shared R&D spaces. Cohorts of digital champions. And a relentless commitment to skills. It is a story of steady progress that scales, and a reminder that the future belongs to teams who can learn faster together. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Ops Quickies – snackable episodes on tech, tools, and systems.

Top 5 Takeaways from my interview with Mike Payne of Boss Advisors:1. Embracing Alternative Business Structures (ABS):Mike Payne was an early adopter of Arizona's Alternative Business Structure for law firms, allowing him to merge his law and accounting practices. This move reduced administrative burdens, enabled non-lawyer ownership, and positioned his firm as a pioneer, paving the way for larger firms to follow.2. Subscription and Flat Fee Model Over Hourly Billing:Mike's firm operates almost entirely on flat fees or subscriptions, avoiding hourly billing. He started by spreading tax prep fees over 12 months and added value through consulting, eventually formalizing subscription offerings across five practice areas, including legal services.3. Client-Centric, Tiered Service Packages:Instead of letting clients choose from generic service tiers, Mike's firm categorizes clients based on their business profile (e.g., investor, startup, owner-operator, enterprise) and recommends the appropriate package. This approach streamlines pricing, reduces custom quotes, and ensures clients get what they need.4. Data-Driven, Transparent Pricing:Mike uses a detailed, analytical process to set fixed fees—calculating internal costs, adding a target profit margin, and comparing to market rates. If a service isn't profitable or competitive, he won't offer it. This transparency extends to publishing pricing and typical client profiles on his website.5. Leveraging Technology and Remote Work:Mike prioritizes cloud-based, integrated tech tools for both legal and accounting work, enabling a hybrid and remote team. He's open to AI and automation for efficiency but is cautious about client data security. Tools like WealthCounsel, Clio Grow, Carbon, and Ignition are central to his operations.__________________________Learn more about BOSS Advisors.Want to maximize your law firm?

Reversing type II diabetes at a 98% success rate using artificial intelligence. The future of medicine is already here, and it's changing real peoples lives right now. Listeners of my show know I believe personalized data and AI interpretation of this data is how we can beat chronic disease, which is why talking to my guest today - who is using this health algorithm  right now - was a pleasure and genuine moment of hope. Dr. John Oberg is a Founder, CEO, Board Director, Advisor, Professor, and Investor trusted by organizations to navigate growth, conflict, and change. He founded two Austin-based healthcare innovators: Sedera, a community-based medical cost-sharing organization (#193 on Inc 500, #26 in Financial Times Western Hemisphere), and Precina Health, a first-of-its-kind chronic care virtual medical practice and a thought leader in AI deployment. Through John Oberg Advisory, John advises large institutions, healthcare industry leaders, professional services firms, and nonprofits. John received his doctorate from the University of Southern California (Social Work) and his MBA from the University of New Mexico (Policy & Planning and Management of Technology). He is currently an adjunct professor at USC and sits on the Board of Governors. He has authored patents, started companies, and managed teams larger than 1,000 people. Join us as we explore:John Oberg's radical success rate of reversing type II diabetes with the Precina way at a fraction of the cost of traditional healthcare.Why the Precina way takes small steps and makes them even smaller, and uses AI to personalize the steps necessary to reverse their diabetes based upon their needs, emotional barriers and tolerance for change.Why Dr Oberg's approach is not getting into the weeds of diet wars, anecdotal evidence or peer reviewed or not, and focuses on data driven and clinical experience results.How AI will allow individuals to succeed in the long-term with their health despite sub-optimal societal norms and government policies.How John's training as a social worker informs carefulness in his approach and the importance of how cultural and societal factors interact with chronic disease.Contact:Website - https://johnoberg.comWebsite - https://precina.comSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Larry English—former NFL player, real estate developer, and now the mind behind Mind Body Mastery and the Union Capital Company. Larry opens up about his journey from achieving his childhood dream of playing in the NFL, to facing the tough transition into business and entrepreneurship. He shares the pivotal realization that his champion mindset and focus on health, once honed as a pro athlete, was just as essential in the world of business. Larry talks about the importance of optimizing the "operator behind the business," using a data-driven approach to health and performance that goes far beyond "typical" fitness routines. Learn how a life-changing moment—watching the film "Concussion"—sparked his commitment to longevity and cognitive health, leading him to invest heavily in cutting-edge wellness strategies. Now, Larry helps executives and entrepreneurs unlock their peak potential through personalized, high-accountability programs that blend science, discipline, and mindset. Don't miss this inspiring conversation that proves whether on the field or in the boardroom, true performance starts with taking care of yourself first. You'll gain actionable insights on building sustainable vitality, avoiding burnout, and playing the long game in health and business. On the hidden cost of ignoring your own health as an entrepreneur, English states, "As business people, we don't debate or second guess the fact that we need to know our numbers in our business. We need to know our KPIs . . . we need to watch that P&L like a hawk. We need to know our conversion rates and cost per acquisition, leads, how many leads we're bringing in . . . all these things, right? But then we look at our health and we think that it's supposed to just happen on its own, intuitively, by happenstance? And that's just not the case." Key themes discussed Transition from NFL career to entrepreneurship and business. Importance of health optimization for business performance. Data-driven approach to personal health and performance. Mindset shifts after major career setbacks. Accountability and structure for lasting personal change. Defining success and fulfillment beyond financial achievements. A few key takeaways:  1. The Importance of Optimizing the "Operator" (You!): Larry emphasizes that just like in sports, your personal health and performance as an entrepreneur or business professional are crucial to overall success. He points out that many professionals fail to recognize that a performance mindset and maintaining health are just as important in business as they are in athletics. 2. Lessons from Professional Sports Transition to Business: Larry draws direct parallels between elite athletics and building a business. He discusses how data-driven approaches, discipline, and having a clear playbook are not just for sports, but equally vital for high-performing business leaders. Just as athletes track performance metrics, business leaders should monitor their KPIs—and their health metrics. 3. Facing and Overcoming Burnout: Burnout isn't just a result of overworking. As Larry puts it, “your operating system is busted.” After leaving the NFL, Larry learned the hard way that abandoning a health-first mindset led to a decline in vitality and performance—even as he achieved success in real estate. His story illustrates the need to reset and refocus on personal well-being for sustained high achievement. 4. Data-Driven, Holistic Optimization Programs: Larry's program is built on a holistic, science-based approach. It includes training, nutrition, biomarker optimization (via bloodwork), supplementation, and lifestyle supports. Success isn't just about willpower; it's about a system that offers expert guidance, accountability, and customization to each client's needs—so that health goals can directly power professional and personal ones. 5. Seeing Setbacks as Setups for Transformation: One of Larry's most powerful reflections centers on how a major business deal falling through led him to reconsider his true purpose. Rather than letting the setback define him, it pushed him to pursue his passion for helping others optimize their lives. He now uses the lessons—and the systems—that helped him transition from NFL athlete to successful entrepreneur and coach as a blueprint for others who want to “win the war, not just the game."
