Episode SummaryIn this episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with Jess Jensen, founder of Co-Pilot Communications and executive communications strategist for leaders from growth-minded founders to C-suite executives.Jess shares her five-step framework for helping leaders show up as real humans online—building trust, attracting opportunities, and standing out in a noisy digital world. From her time leading marketing for giants like Nestlé, Adidas, Qualcomm, and Microsoft, to working one-on-one with founders, Jess explains why storytelling, consistency, and a willingness to experiment are the keys to cutting through the noise.The conversation dives into:The three things Jess looks for when assessing a leader's messaging.How to use stories outside your industry to make your brand more compelling.The most common misconception founders have about their own communications.Why “being yourself” is more than a cliché—it's a competitive advantage.How personal branding can 3x your engagement over corporate messaging.Whether you're leading a billion-dollar brand or a 10-person business, Jess's insights will inspire you to stop hiding behind polished PR and start showing up with real personality.Key Takeaways & Quotes“Be yourself. Don't just regurgitate PR fluff—show up as a full human.”Consistency matters more than perfection.

How do you keep complex digital experiences running smoothly when every layer, from networks to cloud infrastructure to applications, can break in ways that frustrate customers and burn out IT teams? This question is at the heart of my conversation recorded live at Cisco Live in San Diego with Patrick Lin, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Observability at Splunk, now part of Cisco. In this episode, Patrick explains how observability has evolved far beyond simple monitoring and is becoming the nerve centre for digital resilience in a world where reactive alerts no longer cut it. We unpack how Splunk and Cisco ThousandEyes are now deeply integrated, giving teams a single source of truth that connects application behaviour, infrastructure health, and network performance, even across systems they do not directly control. Patrick also shares what these two-way integrations mean in practice: faster incident resolution, fewer blame games, and far less time wasted chasing false alerts. We explore how AI is enhancing this vision by cutting through the noise to detect real anomalies, correlate related events, and suggest root causes at a speed no human team could match. If your business depends on staying online and your teams are drowning in disconnected data, this conversation offers a glimpse into the next phase of unified observability and assurance. It might even help quiet the flood of alerts that keep IT professionals awake at night. How is your organisation tackling alert fatigue and rising complexity? Listen in and tell me what strategies you have found that actually work.

In our hyper-connected world, digital distractions can prevent us from hearing God's voice and lead to spiritual exhaustion. Drawing parallels from Moses' experience with burnout, we learn the importance of delegation and creating boundaries. By implementing practical steps like scheduled digital check-ins and dedicated prayer times, we can better manage our modern responsibilities while maintaining spiritual health. The key is creating intentional space for connecting with God, free from the constant pull of notifications and digital demands.

One of the biggest challengers to living in the present moment are digital distractions. The advancement of consumer technology has resulted in a lot of habits and behaviors that are detrimental to our health - negative effects on our brains, our ability to focus, our ideas about ourselves, and the quality of our social skills and relationships which have resulted in a loneliness epidemic. In this episode, I chat with Palak Dave, Founder and CEO of Embiria – a movement and membership community designed to help people slow down and savor life, about this very issue. Through Embiria, she promotes intentional living, urging you to prioritize real-life experiences and connection over digital noise. She is also a speaker, investor, and author of the newly released book Beautiful Everydays: A Guide to Living in the Here and Now. We also chat about her previous career as an award-winning marketer in corporate settings, making the shift to entrepreneurship, being a woman of color and child of immigrants, and her perspective on work-life balance as an entrepreneur in the wellness space.
