Back in 2014, Google Glass made the dream of smart glasses a reality for the tech-obsessed. But a hefty price tag and divisive design prevented Google from bringing its vision to the masses. A decade later, Meta seemingly cracked the code, offering affordable, fashion-forward smart specs in frames by established brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley. WIRED senior gear editor Julian Chokkattu and staff writer Boone Ashworth join David to discuss whether Google's new Android XR platform, which the company debuted in May, can give Meta a run for its money. They'll also discuss some of the thorny ethical issues surrounding AI-powered frames and where the industry is headed next.

The conversation focused on the unprecedented wave of technological disruption brought about by advances in artificial intelligence, exploring how these innovations are reshaping the social contract, the workforce, and the very fabric of society. One concept discussed was the collapse of traditional pathways—such as the idea that doing well in school and earning a college degree guarantees security and a stable job—in the face of rapidly evolving AI capabilities.A key theme that emerged was the dual-edged nature of AI's impact: while automation and intelligent machines threaten to displace conventional jobs, particularly for those unable or unwilling to adapt, new opportunities are arising for solopreneurs, creators, and individuals ready to leverage technology as a force multiplier. The discussion explored the ways gatekeepers have been removed, the costs of entrepreneurship have plummeted, and barriers to innovation are lower than ever before.Several points were raised, including the psychological and societal turbulence that can result from such rapid change, with concerns about social unrest, especially among younger generations struggling to find their place. The conversation also addressed the promise of AI to solve critical problems in healthcare, science, and education, potentially ushering in an era of abundance—but only if society can adjust mindsets, update educational systems, and encourage purpose-driven curiosity.Listeners can expect a deep dive into the ethical, economic, and cultural fork in the road humanity faces, as well as practical advice for achieving agency, adaptability, and meaning in a world where the only constant is exponential change.Ketone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderQuince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodPlaud: Get 10% off with code IMPACT at https://plaud.ai/impactWhatnot:Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.

In this episode of the HVAC School Podcast, host Bryan sits down with Lenny from Copeland to explore how one of the most respected names in HVAC and refrigeration is actively investing in the next generation of technicians. Lenny leads Copeland's aftermarket demand creation efforts, which includes everything from working with wholesale networks and trade shows to educational partnerships with schools and nonprofit organizations. The conversation covers a wide range of initiatives aimed not just at recruiting people into the trades, but at giving them the tools and confidence to thrive long-term in the industry. A major theme throughout the episode is Copeland's belief that workforce development is a shared responsibility across the entire industry chain — from manufacturers and parts suppliers to contractors and educators. Lenny describes how Copeland partners with organizations like SkillsUSA, Skills Canada, and the NC3 (National Coalition of Certification Centers) to provide hands-on training opportunities and industry certifications to students in trade and tech schools. Copeland sends trainers to these competitions with mobile refrigeration simulators, where students troubleshoot real-world fault scenarios and receive detailed feedback afterward — making it both a competitive and educational experience. The episode also dives deep into Copeland's Train-the-Trainer program, a cornerstone of their work with NC3 partner schools. Rather than simply handing schools a curriculum and walking away, Copeland brings educators through an intensive one-week program covering HVACR system fundamentals, troubleshooting, and compressor operation — complete with hands-on activities, refrigeration simulators, and even compressor teardowns. The goal is to ensure that instructors can confidently deliver accurate, field-relevant material to their students. Lenny emphasizes that Copeland intentionally avoids "death by PowerPoints," preferring interactive, application-based learning that mirrors what technicians actually encounter on the job. On the technology side, the conversation highlights the newly unified Copeland Mobile app, which now integrates White-Rodgers tools alongside the existing Copeland suite. Features like Check and Charge, PT Pro, and Fault Finder help technicians quickly diagnose system issues in the field, while the AI-powered Scout tool allows users to query Copeland-approved engineering bulletins and product data for fast, accurate answers. Lenny and Bryan discuss why this kind of tightly controlled, manufacturer-backed AI is genuinely valuable — cutting through information overload so a tech on a rooftop can get the right answer quickly. The episode wraps up with details on the HVACR Tech Appreciation Day sweepstakes happening April 1 through June 30, where Copeland is giving away approximately $3,000 worth of tools as a thank-you to technicians across the industry. Topics Covered Lenny's role at Copeland and the scope of their aftermarket and education work How Copeland approaches workforce development as an industry-wide responsibility Copeland's involvement with SkillsUSA and Skills Canada — booths, judges, and mobile refrigeration training simulators The NC3 (National Coalition of Certification Centers) partnership and how it connects trade schools to industry certifications Copeland's three-part curriculum: HVACR system fundamentals, troubleshooting, and compressor operation The Train-the-Trainer program — how Copeland educates educators to deliver consistent, field-ready instruction Hands-on learning philosophy: refrigeration trainers, scroll teardown kits, and compressor-in-a-suitcase tools available to schools Virtual reality scroll teardown in development to bring factory experiences to the classroom The newly integrated Copeland Mobile app — combining White-Rodgers and Copeland tools in one platform App features: Check and Charge, PT Pro (with altitude settings), Fault Finder, and the 30-year products catalog Scout — Copeland's AI tool that searches approved engineering bulletins and product data to answer field questions fast Why manufacturer-controlled AI is a practical and trustworthy resource for technicians The importance of retaining new technicians by giving them support systems so they aren't overwhelmed and don't wash out HVACR Tech Appreciation Day — June 22nd — and the sweepstakes giving away ~$3,000 in tools (vacuum pump, recovery unit, core removal tool, gauge sets) How to reach Copeland's Educational Services team: educationalservices.coldchain@copeland.com Accessing educator resources on Copeland's website and the Copeland Mobile app   Copeland's Resources: Sweepstakes: Enter Copeland's HVACR Technician Appreciation Sweepstakes before June 30th, 2026 at hvacrschool.com/copelandsweepstakes.  Copeland Mobile App: apps.copeland.com/copelandmobile  Educator Resources: https://www.copeland.com/en-us/training-support Educational Services Email: educationalservices.coldchain@copeland.com    Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Should you learn prompt engineering, or maybe a physical trade? There's almost no skill that AI won't eventually surpass, according to neuroscientist Vivienne Ming.In her new book, "Robot-Proof: When Machines Have All the Answers, Build Better People," she argues humans still have qualities AI can't replicate, like curiosity, social intelligence and a sense of inner purpose. And honing those makes us better partners to AI.Ming has found in experiments that the most capable form of intelligence is neither human nor AI on its own, but both working together in ways that play to each of their strengths. She calls this the Cyborg model.

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie continues his conversations with Jim Fultz, National Technical Training Manager at Copeland, and Joshua Souders, Manager Product Management at Copeland, about airflow, static pressure, and modern diagnostic tools. In Part 2, they talk about how AI and smart technology are changing the HVAC industry. They explain how tools like Scout AI give technicians fast access to accurate product data, helping them find parts, check specs, and work more efficiently on site. The discussion also covers how connected equipment and predictive monitoring are starting to detect issues early and support better service decisions. Gary, Jim, and Joshua share their thoughts on whether AI could replace technicians and agree that it will only support their work, not take their place. They also talk about how homeowners may try simple fixes, but most will still rely on skilled professionals for safe and reliable service.  Gary, Jim, and Joshua discuss how AI tools and connected systems are improving efficiency for HVAC technicians. They explain how Scout AI gives quick access to compressor data, parts, and local availability, helping techs save time on the job. The conversation also covers how smart equipment and sensors can detect issues early and send alerts for possible failures. They talk about how AI may support faster diagnostics but still relies on a technician's skill to confirm problems. They finish by explaining that while some homeowners may try simple fixes, most will still depend on trained professionals for safe and reliable service. Expect to Learn: How AI tools like Scout AI help technicians quickly find compressor data and correct parts. How using mobile apps can improve speed and efficiency while working on-site. How connected equipment can detect issues early and send alerts about system problems. Why AI is a support tool that helps guide troubleshooting, not replace technician skills. Most homeowners still rely on professionals, even as information and tools become easier to access.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Florian Grummes to the show. Florian Grummes is the Founder and Managing Director of Midas Touch Consulting. Florian remains bullish on oil and gas, viewing energy equities as still undervalued despite recent price consolidation. He anticipates a severe oil price shock by late summer or early autumn, driven by ongoing supply disruptions from Middle East tensions, critically low inventories, and a disconnect between Western paper markets and physical demand. He notes that while demand destruction may eventually occur, the immediate risk is a sharp price spike as shortages intensify. Florian also warns that the AI-driven stock market bubble is nearing a peak, comparing it to past speculative manias, and expects a significant correction that could trigger a liquidity crunch. This environment complicates the Federal Reserve's position, as it cannot easily lower interest rates amid persistent inflation and may even be forced to raise them, further stressing the economy. In precious metals, Florian sees gold in a secular bull market, driven by its role as a neutral reserve asset and ongoing central bank buying. However, he notes that gold and silver are currently in a correction phase, with silver potentially pulling back toward the $50 level before the next leg up. He remains a long-term silver bull due to its industrial and monetary demand, but cautions that short-term pain is likely. Mining stocks have sold off sharply, with sentiment extremely bearish. Florian advises patience, waiting for signs of capitulation and contrarian buy signals before aggressively adding positions. He emphasizes the importance of quality companies and recommends holding cash-flow-generating dividend payers, particularly in oil, to weather potential market turmoil. Overall, he sees a complex, volatile period ahead, but believes the longer-term trends for commodities and precious metals remain intact.

In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield makes the case that research is not an academic exercise. And it's not separate from your art practice, but part of it. She encourages you to think of it as leading with curiosity, which strengthens the work and builds confidence. Alyson draws on her background as an art historian and her own current investigation into timelines to show what this actually looks like in practice. Alyson reveals: Why "I've always been drawn to this" isn't a good enough answer, and what happens when you push past it The difference between work that is beautiful and work that is about something Why you mustn't research to find the right or best answer, and why you cannot rely on Google and AI for a true research practice How a serious inquiry practice changes your artist statement, collector conversations, and confidence in the work What it means to make curiosity a practice rather than a phase you move through before a project begins Read more and get links and resources on the extensive companion post.

Your people aren't tired of change — they're saturated. There's a difference, and it's the difference between an AI rollout that lands and one that bounces off your workforce entirely. Kelle Fontenot is the Chief Digital Officer at KPMG US, where the CIO, the CTO, and the Chief Data Officer all report to her. She owns internal innovation, architecture, platform, engineering, and data across a 40,000-person workforce — and she's spent the last four and a half years steering that organization through cloud, data, and now an AI wave reshaping how every one of her people does their job. In this conversation, Kelle reframes 'change fatigue' as 'change saturation,' reveals that KPMG employees built 25,000 AI agents in the last six months alone, walks through the synthetic-data acquisition powering regulated AI testing at scale, and explains the brand-new Anthropic partnership turning a 140-year-old services firm into a products company.   What you'll learn • Why 'change fatigue' is the wrong diagnosis — and what 'saturation' changes about how you roll out AI • Why KPMG refuses to use AI as a head-count lever — and why that decision is actually accelerating adoption • How 40,000 KPMG employees built 25,000 AI agents in six months — and what that means for who counts as a 'builder' • Why the CIO, CTO, and CDO all report to one person — and what would break if they didn't • How synthetic data lets a regulated firm test AI at scale without the breach risk • What KPMG's Anthropic partnership signals about the future of professional services   Connect Kelle Fontenot on LinkedIn KPMG US IT Visionaries Podcast   Chapters 0:00 AI Change Has Become AI Saturation 1:29 Why “Change Fatigue” Is the Wrong Diagnosis 3:27 Prompting Like It's November 4:46 Giving People Space to Innovate 6:38 AI Is Not a Headcount Lever 10:07 Building AI in a Regulated Business 11:24 The Risk Container Around AI 14:12 The AI-Augmented Auditor 17:21 The Agent Governance Problem 20:59 Why Digital, Data, and Tech Sit Together 22:59 Building an Inside Startup 30:04 Innovation Has to Happen at the Edge 36:48 The ROI Math for AI Agents 38:50 Why KPMG Bought a Synthetic Data Company 44:09 KPMG's Anthropic Partnership 51:03 Shipping AI at Scale 52:10 Kelle Fontenot's Advice for Leaders -- This episode of IT Visionaries is brought to you by Meter - the company building better networks.

Send us Fan MailThe onslaught of customer AI agents.In the next 9 to 12 months, your customer will be able to say “hey Siri, call my subscription company and cancel my plan, then chat with the ABC airline and move my flight from Tuesday to Wednesday.”The AI agent launches the call or chat. It acts on their behalf.Think about what that does to your cx volume. Interactions are going to skyrocket. This is when and why AI in your contact center stops being optional. You'll need it just to handle the sheer volume of bots coming at you.So the question becomes whether you have an AI front door. Something that can answer these calls, do the basic triage, and hand off to a human only when it actually needs one.You can still have human service for human callers but you will need Ai to handle the Ai. IMO Sla will become less and less of a core metric as bots will wait in queue and won't care. How we operate will change too. All you centers with retention lines and agents. How do you downsell or save a bot told to cancel?And it's going to be really bad at first. Customers will not be happy with the bot outcomes. They will call you back to try to fix. It will get better but it's going to be a rocky start. Volume are going up. This is one of the main things we're thinking about at Expivia. And it's exactly what we're getting ready to help our BPO customers handle.The bots are coming. The centers that planned for them win. The ones that didn't get buried.

If your medical practice noticed a sudden drop or a sudden surge in website traffic, phone calls, or patient inquiries over the last two weeks, you aren't imagining things. On June 2, 2026, Google officially wrapped up its massive May 2026 core algorithm update.In this episode, Jennifer and Corey discuss the rapidly changing landscape of organic SEO. Spurred by the pressure to feed its booming AI ecosystem, Google rolled out this latest core update just 43 days after its previous one—completely rewriting the rules on how healthcare sites rank. We break down what this update means for your online visibility and share the exact framework you need to diagnose your site's performance without hitting the panic button.Key Takeaways:Accelerated AI Cadence: Google is rapidly rebuilding its core ranking engine to feed its AI features (which now boast over a billion monthly users), narrowing the gap between major algorithm shifts to mere weeks.The Slop Penalty: This update aggressively targets thin, overly optimized, "SEO-first" content—specifically 500-word, low-tier AI articles generated without certified healthcare or provider oversight.The Golden Rule (Don't Panic): Fluctuations and bugs in reporting data are typical right after a rollout. Avoid making structural changes, rewriting pages, or deleting content while the algorithm is still settling.Double Down on E-A-T: Long-term organic success requires robust, up-to-date provider bio pages, detailed real-world patient Q&As, and clear medical bylines signed off by actual providers or clinical staff.

It's 2023, and Meta Ray-Bans have just helped Mark Zuckerberg turn a corner. After his disastrous investment in the Metaverse, Meta's AI-enabled smart glasses are a welcome victory for the company. But the competition is coming. And so are uncomfortable questions about mandatory data-sharing, worker exploitation, and federal agents using the glasses illegally. If smart glasses are here to stay, the question becomes… is that a good thing?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Marsha Evans. A licensed mental health therapist, founder of Willow Tree Counseling & Educational Center, and creator of the FELT Experience and Marsha Listens wellness platform. The conversation centers on emotional health, nervous system education, sound therapy, community healing, and her evolution as a therapist and entrepreneur. Marsha shares her personal journey from being a competitive athlete to becoming a calming force for high‑functioning individuals dealing with burnout, stress, and emotional disconnection. She explains the origins of her signature FELT Experience, a wellness model designed to help people reconnect with themselves through somatic movement, sound healing, intentional rest, and community. She also highlights the challenges and breakthroughs in mental health—particularly within the Black community—and reflects on 16+ years of therapeutic practice. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Introduce Marsha Evans’ holistic mental health approach Rushion invites Marsha to explain how she blends psychology, somatics, and sound‑based healing to help people process stress differently. 2. Explain the FELT Experience and its healing framework Marsha details her signature F.E.L.T. model—Free, Expand, Listen, Transform—and why embodied emotional experience is key to healing. 3. Share her personal journey She discusses how sports, music, and modalities like breathwork and yoga helped her turn stress into purpose. 4. Encourage new perspectives on mental health in the Black community She and Rushion address the stigma, evolution, and growing acceptance of mental health support. 5. Showcase community‑centered healing Marsha emphasizes connection, shared experiences, and intentional spaces that allow vulnerability and transformation. Key Takeaways 1. Healing Requires Intentionality Marsha explains that activities like massage or yoga can be therapeutic—but only when approached with intentionality, presence, and consent to release emotional tension. 2. The Body Holds Stories (“The body keeps the score”) She emphasizes that the body stores emotional experiences, and modalities like breathwork, sound healing, and somatic movement help release what the mind can’t articulate. 3. The FELT Framework The FELT Experience moves participants through: F – Free: Permission to just be (coloring, resting, arriving without expectations) E – Expand: Allowing the body to open and receive L – Listen: To one’s own body, movement, and emotional cues T – Transform: The hardest phase—moving from chaos to peace 4. Safe Community Spaces Accelerate Healing Marsha’s events often result in participants forming friendships, emotional breakthroughs, and even planning outings together—an indicator of her program’s power. 5. People Are Conditioned to Avoid Emotions Growing up, she was taught to hide emotions in competitive sports—especially tears as a sign of weakness. Her therapeutic mission now is to help others unlearn similar conditioning. 6. Cultural Shifts Around Mental Health Marsha highlights major strides in the Black community, especially post‑COVID, as more people (including athletes) publicly acknowledge mental health struggles. 7. Therapy Isn’t Just Talking She incorporates nonverbal tools like: Play therapy Sand tray therapy Sound healing Somatic movement YogaThese help clients who can’t articulate their emotions—especially those conditioned to suppress them. 8. Human Connection Still Matters—even in an AI World Marsha is open to exploring AI in mental health but insists that physical presence, touch, and human empathy are irreplaceable. Notable Quotes (from the transcript) On her calming presence “I think laughter is good for the soul… just being able to find peace has been really big for me… It’s just a God‑given talent.” On coping mechanisms “As long as I had some type of music or some form of therapy… I could navigate any stressful environment.” On cooking as therapy (reflecting Rushion’s habits) “You’re creating new neural pathways… recalibrating your nervous system.” On intentional healing “Yoga and massages can be therapeutic, but you have to be intentional.” On the purpose of the FELT Experience “In order to release whatever your body is experiencing, you have to have a felt experience.” On the challenge of transformation “We are used to chaos… but we’re not used to healed environments.” On the evolution of her practice “I wanted to understand the whole person… and help them change the dial on their dashboard to fit their calling.” On mental health in the Black community “People perceive admission as a flaw… but healing is about understanding your story.” On creating safe spaces “By creating a space of safety and healing… people get to live the life they desired and not a life from survival.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Interface is your weekly guide to the tech rewiring your week and your world. Hosted by journalists Thomas Germain, Nicky Woolf, and Karen Hao, each episode unpacks, week by week, how technology is shaping all our futures. No guests. No jargon. Just three sharp voices debating the stories that matter - whether they shook a government, broke the internet, or quietly tipped the balance of power.In this episode, Tom and Nicky head deep into the TikTok Farlands - the semi mythical place you supposedly reach if you scroll too far, too late, until your feed stops looking normal and starts serving up surreal, eerie and deeply unhinged videos. The name comes from Minecraft's Far Lands, the glitched edge of the map where the world used to break apart, and TikTok users have borrowed it to describe the “end of the algorithm”: a strange zone of distorted edits, ominous warnings, weirdcore imagery and recurring figures like the now iconic fat bee playing the violin. TikTok's Farlands have become a shorthand for what happens when doomscrolling tips into digital folklore.But the Farlands aren't just a joke. Tom and Nicky ask what this trend says about internet culture now. In a platform ecosystem dominated by polish, branding and optimisation, the Farlands feel like the return of an older internet: raw, surreal, handmade and proudly bizarre. At the same time, the meme also works as a critique of doomscrolling itself — turning algorithmic exhaustion into shared mythology, and making people newly conscious of how deep into the feed they've wandered.So in this episode, we ask: is the TikTok Farlands a genuine return of weird, creative internet culture — or just another algorithmic genre?Also in this episode: Karen looks at how AI detection tools may be changing the way we all write. As detectors spread through schools, publishing and professional life, students, teachers and writers are increasingly shaping their prose around what software might flag - dropping stylistic quirks, sanding off rhythm, and checking their own work in advance for fear of a false accusation. Researchers say the central problem is not just whether detectors catch AI, but how they balance false positives and false negatives in high stakes settings. And with a growing parallel market of “humanizer” tools promising to make AI text sound more human - and pass detection - the result may be an arms race that leaves everyone writing in a flatter, safer and more paranoid style.To hear more, search The Interface wherever you get your BBC podcasts.

In this episode of Money Moves, we unpack a volatile week in the markets driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising oil prices. With the OECD slashing its global growth forecast due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz , inflation and upcoming CPI data remain the primary catalysts for stock market movement. We explore the probability of a market correction versus continued runway, analyzing how the AI boom and the upcoming SpaceX IPO are impacting tech sector rotations. The crypto market is also facing serious headwinds, testing critical support levels as Bitcoin dips below $60,000. We discuss the fallout of Michael Saylor's unexpected decision to sell Bitcoin, the long-term threat of quantum computing to the network, and why active development on blockchains like Ethereum and Solana might offer better long-term potential. Plus, we cover the upcoming FOMC meeting and debate whether the new Fed Chair will pause or cut interest rates.Connect & Take Action:Wealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

The skills that survive every industry shakeup aren't the ones you can Google — they're softer, harder to name, and far more durable. In this episode, Jonathan explores principle-oriented thinking: the practice of stripping away the labels we attach to tools, roles, and even ourselves to see what something actually does at its core. It's the difference between handing your coding off to an agent and rethinking your entire workflow around what these new materials are truly capable of. If you've been following along with our recent focus on durable skills, you know we've been hunting for the abilities that translate beyond this month, this year, or whatever AI does to our industry next. Today's skill doesn't have a tidy name you can search for — it's softer than that. Jonathan calls it "principle-oriented thinking": the habit of deconstructing the labels we put on things to understand their core components, properties, and capabilities. It's how NASA engineers turned a sock into a water filter on Apollo 13, and it's how forward-thinking engineers are reframing what AI can actually do rather than jamming it into a predetermined slot. Labels Are Useful Shortcuts — Until They Aren't: Every label, from "software engineer" to "sock," carries baggage, heuristics, and presupposition. That's not a flaw — labels are how we move through the world quickly. But when a label is the only lens you have, it quietly caps how much value you can get out of the thing you're looking at. The Apollo 13 Sock: When the crew needed to fix a life-threatening problem with mismatched parts, the engineers on the ground had to forget what a sock was for and ask what it actually is — a piece of cloth with tensile strength, flexibility, and filtering properties. Strip the assumption that it goes on a foot, and a whole new set of uses opens up. Stop Slotting AI Into Old Roles: The common move is to take one responsibility — coding, debugging, refactoring — hand it to an agent, and keep everything else the same. That works, but it's low-leverage. The more powerful approach starts by asking what the agent is fundamentally capable of, then rebuilding the workflow around those raw materials. See Things as Materials, Not Fixed Functions: When you deconstruct out from under a label, tools and concepts start to look like craftable raw materials. You can then combine them in new, valuable ways they haven't been combined before — alloying old methods with new capabilities to create properties neither had on its own. Reason From Properties, Not Personas: Ask what the actual properties of an LLM are. Non-determinism isn't a bug to apologize for — it's a property you can exploit. The existence of many different models is a property too, which is exactly what makes adversarial review possible. That's principle-oriented thinking applied to agents. Extend the Latticework: Charlie Munger talked about a latticework of mental models that weave together rather than sit in isolation. The durable skill isn't quarantining your concept of "AI" off to the side — it's grafting a new section onto the existing tapestry and letting it reshape everything you already understood. Episode Takeaway: Look at how you spend your time and ask new questions of it. What is the material here? What kind of thinking does the agent actually do? What can a human do that an LLM can't — and the other way around? That's how you avoid believing a sock is only ever good for a foot.

In this episode of The Brainstorm, Brett and Nick discuss Apple's latest AI strategy announced at the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), including a major Siri upgrade. They explore how Apple's integration of Gemini models and on-device capabilities could transform Siri into a deeply personal AI companion. They also analyze the strategic moves of industry giants—Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, and SpaceX—and what their latest AI and data center investments mean for the future of computing, infrastructure, and enterprise value.Key Points From This Episode:AI is fundamentally reshaping product ecosystems, requiring cautious, incremental deployment to prevent overpromising and maintain trust. Apple's approach to embedding deeper context access in Siri exemplifies this principle.The challenge lies in transforming AI prototypes into polished, error-minimized products that can scale globally. Apple's delays highlight the importance of quality and reliability in influencing user experience.Winning in AI involves building a hardware ecosystem that captures personal context continuously. Apple's integration of wearables, phones, and glasses aims to create a seamless user experience by acting as both input and context-capturing hardware.If you know ARK, you know we focus on long-term innovation.

Today, we are kicking off a new series entitled The AI Control Loop, How enterprises govern the AI they've already deployed - sponsored by our friends at Wallarm.Wallarm is the AI Control Platform for Enterprise AI, protecting every AI workload, API, and application in production, giving CISOs the governance they need and CIOs the speed they demand. Organizations choose Wallarm for a complete inventory of APIs, AI agents, and AI apps, patented AI/ML-based threat detection and blocking that operates at production traffic speeds.Today's episode is entitled AI Security is API Security, and joining us is Tim Erlin, VP of Product Marketing at Wallarm. We discuss the foundational link between AI security and API security, digging into the role that APIs play in the dev, deployment, and operations of AI. We explore how they contribute to the risk profile of AI transformation projects, and how securing APIs is critical for successful AI transformation.QuestionsWhen people hear “AI security,” they often think first about models, prompts, or training data. Why do you argue that AI security starts with APIs?Where do you see organizations underestimating API risk as they move AI projects from pilot to production?How does the rise of AI agents change the stakes for API security compared with traditional application architectures?What are the most common API security assumptions that break down once AI systems begin taking action autonomously?Wallarm's ThreatStats research points to APIs as a major overlap point for AI vulnerabilities and exploited vulnerabilities. What does that tell us about where attackers are likely to focus?How should security leaders think differently about authentication, authorization, and API abuse when the “user” may be an AI agent rather than a human?What is one practical step teams can take today to strengthen API security before AI adoption expands further?Once you accept that AI security depends on APIs, what do organizations actually need to discover before they can protect it?Linkshttps://www.wallarm.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-erlin/Full AbstractIn the first episode of the AI Control Loop series, Tim Erlin, VP Product at Wallarm, examines why AI security and API security are the same problem approached from different angles, and what organizations need to discover before they can protect either one.Every AI model needs data to act on. Every AI agent needs services to call. Every AI workflow needs integrations to function. The connective tissue running through all of it is APIs, which means the security posture of any AI system is inseparable from the security posture of the APIs underneath it.That link is not theoretical. APIs are already the most targeted attack surface in enterprise environments, and AI is making that problem significantly larger. Agents that act autonomously on behalf of users do not just consume APIs the way traditional applications do. They discover them, invoke them dynamically, chain them across workflows, and do all of it at a speed and scale that makes human review impractical. The authentication assumptions, rate limiting strategies, and abuse detection models that worked for human-driven API traffic were not designed for this, and the gaps are not subtle.Most organizations moving AI from pilot to production are underestimating how much of their AI risk surface is actually API risk surface. Shadow APIs that were never inventoried, overpermissioned integrations that made sense for a human user but not for an autonomous agent, authentication patterns that cannot distinguish a legitimate AI session from an abused one. Securing AI at the foundational level means answering the API question first: what APIs does the AI touch, what can it do through them, and what would an attacker be able to reach if any part of that surface were compromised.Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/mt82fpxl #CashAppPod.

Trend forecaster Gerald Celente discusses the decline of the United States, arguing that corporate and government interests have consolidated control over the media and banking sectors, effectively dismantling the American middle class. The conversation highlights the dangers of a burgeoning AI surveillance state and the economic consequences of persistent military conflicts involving figures like Trump and Netanyahu. Celente posits that China is surpassing the West by prioritizing business over war, while younger generations face a future of economic feudalism. Ultimately, Gerald warns of the loss of individual privacy and the potential for nuclear escalation in the Middle East. To navigate these turbulent times, Celente encourages people to focus on physical and spiritual health while advocating for a movement of “occupying” peace.

Edward Shenderovich is the Founder and CEO of Roebling, a software platform that helps industrial companies evaluate, design, and finance manufacturing projects before breaking ground. After initially setting out to solve bottlenecks in biomanufacturing, Shenderovich and his team uncovered a broader challenge: the economics of scaling physical infrastructure are often poorly understood until it's too late. In this episode of Inevitable, Cody and Edward explore whether the US is making the same mistake with domestic manufacturing that climate tech once made with the “green premium.” If consumers were unwilling to pay more for cleaner products, will they pay more for American-made ones? The conversation examines China's long-term manufacturing strategy, the gap between scientific breakthroughs and industrial scale-up, and why engineering—not invention—is often the missing link in commercial success. Edward argues that national security, data sovereignty, and AI infrastructure may become the forces that justify renewed domestic investment in manufacturing and energy systems. They also discuss the lessons learned from the recent biomanufacturing boom and bust, why many bioindustrial companies struggled to achieve economic viability, and how AI can help bridge the gap between R&D and large-scale industrial deployment. Finally, Edward shares how Roebling is using AI-powered techno-economic analysis to help companies build factories that can actually compete on cost and performance.

Dr. Mark Grether, SVP and General Manager of PayPal Ads, joins Phillip from PayPal's Manhattan offices to argue that the merchant storefront is migrating off owned websites and into LLMs. This may make the mechanics of customer experience and loyalty a bit murky, but Mark explains how PayPal's "transaction graph,”  built on real purchases across 30 million merchants and 400 million consumers, acts as the deterministic identity layer that the post-cookie ad world has been missing.  We also cover the evolving world of commerce media, from zero-click commerce and CTV attribution to PayPal Ads' newest product, Storefront Ads, which transforms the creative into the checkout.  The Cart Cartographer Key takeaways: Consumers now start product discovery on LLMs, not search engines or merchant sites. PayPal's transaction graph spans 30M merchants and 400M consumers, representing real purchases, not just clicks. Deterministic payment identity beats cookies and probabilistic IDs for cross-channel attribution. Storefront Ads turn any ad into a one-click, pre-populated checkout. Creators run two businesses: generating consumer data, then monetizing it. [00:04:03] "We're not just seeing behavior, we're actually seeing the real transactions. We know what people are purchasing — not whether they search for something or browse for something. We actually see what they are buying." – Mark Grether [00:11:00] "The trick about our identity is it was built from a finance perspective, meaning I need to understand that you are you and not your twin brother. Our identity has to clear a much higher bar compared to probabilistic IDs or cookies." – Mark Grether [00:13:40] "The idea of Storefront Ads is that the creative itself becomes the shop. You're getting exposed to the sneakers, and with one click, you can actually make the purchase. We already know who you are, we know your bank account, we know your address — everything is pre-populated. From a consumer perspective, it becomes super easy to finish a transaction."

“Ultimately, it's the people that determine the success or the failure of technology, not the technology itself.” The latest report by Arktic Fox and Six Degrees dives deep into why brands and retailers will only win in retail media, personalization, and AI if they pair rising investment with stronger data foundations and better product content. Teresa Sperti, Director at Arktic Fox, sits down with Jeremy Goldman to discuss how achieving these results ultimately requires credible measurement alongside teams capable of turning technology into execution. Inside the episode: - Why brands are shifting away from marketing to humans and moving towards optimizing for AI-driven discovery and decision-making - How brands can shift their tech approach toward loyalty and personalization - Why retailers need to invest in eCommerce and stronger digital shelf capability to defend share and improve performance - Why brands must better prepare their talent, as companies are currently buying technology faster than they are building the organizational skills to run it Don't let your technology investments outpace your team's capabilities. Listen to the full podcast episode above to bridge the execution gap.

A Quick Note to Listeners: Before this week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke take some time to answer a listener question. This week’s question is: I'm working hard, doing good work, of course not perfectly, but I'm beginning to feel stuck. How do I keep myself from becoming complacent as a leader? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Dr. Kip Glazer: Dr. Kip Glazer is a former classroom teacher, district technology coach, and current high school principal of Mountain View High School in Mountain View, California. She has more than 20 years of experience helping schools translate emerging technologies — including artificial intelligence — into practical, responsible practice. Her work includes leadership decision-making, understanding ethical AI, and building systems that strengthen teaching, learning, and student voice. Kip has advised districts, collaborated with national research organizations, and spoken nationally and internationally about what it really takes to lead in the AI era with clarity, credibility, and healthy skepticism. She's been recognized as one of DA Magazine's Top 100 Influential Education Leaders and is a CSTA Equity Fellow, Google Innovator, and EngageAI Practitioner Advisory Board member. Her new book, Ready to Lead with AI: A Practical Guide for School Leaders, offers school leaders practical guidance for navigating AI in real schools.  Dr. Glazer’s Background: In this episode of Principal Matters, we talk to Dr. Kip Glazer—author, high school principal, and longtime education technology leader—for a timely conversation on what it means to lead well in an AI era when the answers still aren't clear. What makes this conversation especially powerful is Kip's humility and candor: she argues that if anyone claims they fully understand AI right now—even tool builders—school leaders should be skeptical. The work is evolving in real time, and leaders are navigating an “iterative space” where staff often expect certainty simply because the principal has the title. Kip shares her personal origin story as an English language learner who moved to the U.S. from South Korea at age 23 without speaking English. That experience shaped her leadership lens: to look beyond what's visible and honor what students already carry—culture, knowledge, and identity—even when they don't yet have language to express it. She reminds leaders that a student's limited English isn't a measure of their intelligence, and that truly equitable leadership requires curiosity, empathy, and respect for what may not be immediately seen. The Challenges of AI in Schools: As the conversation turns to AI, Kip names an under-discussed challenge: identity disruption. For decades, educators have been the most knowledgeable people in the room, and AI changes that. Kip explains that this shift has an emotional toll for teachers and leaders alike, creating insecurity when students know tools the adults don't. Her response isn't to retreat into control, but to double down on pedagogy, collaboration, and communication, and to model the stance of learning with students instead of pretending to know everything. Kip also challenges schools to rethink what they assess. Traditional systems often measure what students know, but struggle to measure how students use knowledge to create. She argues that AI can open doors for deeper learning if schools strengthen pedagogy that supports collaboration, creation, and problem-solving. She shares an example from her own teaching, where she used game-based learning principles in an AP Literature classroom—an approach that looked unconventional to observers, but still resulted in strong outcomes for students. Principal’s Tech Internship Program: One of the most practical highlights of the episode is Kip's Principal's Tech Internship Program, created to elevate student agency while strengthening support across campus. Kip describes how she built a structure where tech-skilled students can serve their school community, gain internship experience, and even earn community college credit through a partnership. The program began small—helping teachers onboard students and solve everyday tech problems—but grew as students began proposing bigger ideas, hosting events, and presenting their work beyond the school. Kip's approach is intentionally “hands off” in the best way: she asks questions, guides, and protects space for students to take ownership—while learning through real-world planning, setbacks, and reflection. Leadership Growth: Kip also shares an honest leadership growth edge: learning that staff often need more affirmation and personal connection than she realized—especially coming from a background where praise wasn't expressed as directly. That insight has shaped how she thinks about culture, support, and presence. Finally, Kip offers a grounded model for leading through uncertainty: invite honest feedback, assume positive intent, and be explicit about your intentions—especially in the presence of power dynamics. She emphasizes that leaders can't fix what they don't know, and that openness is always healthier than suffering in silence. Closing Comments: Kip closes with a message of solidarity: school leaders may have different contexts, but they share similar pressures and hopes. Her goal in writing Ready to Lead with AI: A Practical Guide for School Leaders was to create the book she wished she had—honest, practical, and rooted in real school life.

In this episode of Insurance Shoptalk, Eric Stein sits down with David Prejeant, Vice President of Client Relations at Alacrity Solutions, to discuss one of the fastest-growing challenges facing the insurance industry: AI-powered fraud. With more than two decades of experience in claims operations, property adjusting, catastrophe response, and commercial claims management, David shares firsthand insights into how artificial intelligence is changing the way insurers, MGAs, MGUs, carriers, and claims professionals evaluate risk and investigate claims. The conversation explores how AI can be used to create convincing but fraudulent documentation, including weather reports, business interruption records, loss histories, and other claim-related materials. Eric and David discuss the growing need for new fraud detection strategies, enhanced adjuster training, and AI-powered verification tools that can help insurers identify inconsistencies before fraudulent claims are paid. They also examine how organizations can use AI responsibly to improve claims handling, streamline data analysis, connect fragmented systems, and provide better information to underwriters and clients. If you're interested in claims management, insurance fraud prevention, underwriting, AI-powered analytics, risk management, or the future of insurance operations, this episode offers valuable insights into both the opportunities and risks that AI brings to the industry. #InsuranceShopTalk #InsuranceFraud #ArtificialIntelligence #ClaimsManagement #Insurtech #Underwriting #RiskManagement #PropertyClaims #CommercialInsurance #ClaimsTechnology

But here's the part nobody wants to hear: it will replace the pet sitters who refuse to use it.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will AI replace pet sitters? A: No. AI can't replace the trust, judgment, and relationships a pet sitter builds with clients and their pets. People hire a pet sitter for the human behind the business. What changes is that pet sitters who refuse to use AI will fall behind the ones who do, because AI now handles the marketing, content, and admin work faster. The work in the field stays human. The work behind the scenes is what gets transformed. Q: Will AI replace dog walkers? A: No. Dog walking is a hands-on, in-person service that AI simply cannot perform. What AI changes is the business side: scheduling, client communication, and marketing. Dog walkers who adopt AI get time back and reach more clients, while the actual walking stays exactly what it has always been. Q: Do I need AI in my pet business? A: Yes, as a tool. Bella compares ignoring AI in 2026 to refusing to use a computer or a cell phone in your business. It's no longer optional if you want to stay competitive. You don't have to automate everything overnight, but you do need basic AI literacy and a willingness to get in the sandbox and play. Q: What is “AI slop” and why is it bad for my business? A: AI slop is generic, lifeless content that looks obviously machine-made: stock-looking graphics, copy with none of your keywords, and posts that could belong to any business in any town. It's bad because it doesn't carry your unique value, it doesn't help your SEO, and it can actually put potential clients off. Good AI use takes your secret sauce, your tone, and your words, and makes them sharper, not generic. Q: How can a pet business owner start using AI? A: Start small and get curious. Pick one repetitive task, like writing a press release or building anQuestions? Ask Bella before you guess. | Bella in Your Business | jumpconsulting.net | Keep jumping! SOP, and use AI to do the first draft. The goal early on is not perfection, it's playing in the sandbox and learning what's possible. From there, build AI into your content, your hiring, and your website so it works for you in the background.

And I've done a lot of thinking about it. I have done writing about it, I have outlined it. I've even recorded this actual podcast twice already and decided to just like throw it all away. So right now it's I'm just gonna talk to you. I do have a little bit of an outline, and I Do not apologize ahead of time if I go off into tangents, because this is gonna be one of those episodes like when I was on my road trip and I talked to you and it's just gonna be me and you. I even thought about like moving my whole rig out to my living room and sitting on the couch with my big furry blanket because it just kind of felt like that was the feeling I wanted to come across with. But I digress. Hi, this is Bella with Bella in your business, the 270th episode. I'm sorry, not 270, 470th episode. What? I think it's a good place to start because I have had a lot of evolution as I hope that you have two in your life. And I hope that your evolution has or I want to encourage your evolution, your future evolution to be self-led instead of things are happening to me. I believe that we can make things happen for ourselves, but that we have to have a conscious mind. in order to do it and not be stuck in groundhog day every single day doing the same thing over and over. Cause that's just the way that we do it, right? Like I believe that we all need to think about our reactions and and our responses. And that there's Rumi said that there's power between what happens and our response. There's that that little window there. And the more we can create that, we have more of an opportunity to think. And that's a really great way to set up everything I'm about to tell you today. Bella (02:07.602) back in 2022, I'm gonna go all the way back there. I feel like I was like four different versions of myself. But I was I maybe I should start 2018. I started the mastermind and I started better marketing with Bella. Okay. And what we did is in the mastermind, it was the first mastermind ever and in our industry. And the way it was set was that what it was back then is not what it is today. and it's by design because we've evolved and things have changed. And I don't believe in teaching the same thing over and over and over again. I believe in evolving with the world and how people buy and how people receive information and just everything. Marketing with Bella has been evolving. It first started where we only had six people and we would create things for them that we don't necessarily we didn't create years later because Social media changed. And so we started providing videos and we started doing all this other stuff. And then social media keeps changing. And so the program kept changing. and so all of this change is necessary a necessity because things that worked a couple of years ago aren't gonna work now, and that's even more so. It's like how agile, like how much can you bend and ebb and flow to things? But you have to be seeing that this stuff is happening. So back in 2022, the crack happened. My team was already secretly using what we called Jarvis, which it was to help us write some blogs and scripts and things. and by the end of 2022, the November 2022, the last week, it was like Thanksgiving-ish. Chat GPT came online. And I was one of the first million people to join. At the recording of June 8th today, they announced last week that there's now one billion with a B. Beef or boy, people using Chat GPT. And it is historically the fastest growing app software ever. And it has taken on like a firestorm. As you probably know, you probably have a login for it. and so that happened, and it was like, ooh, what's this nice new shiny thing? You know, there's so many people making predictions, and but the predictions were still, you know, the predictions are the predictions, but the timeline. Bella (04:32.29) was the hard part to nail in. And I'm listening to all these amazing thought leaders. And that was when I started listening to podcasts and following people way smarter than me and following these tech companies and paying attention to their announcements and the commentary that comes from it. And in 2023 in the mastermind, I had Dustin who created Magi. I knew Dustin from all of my social media marketing days and speaking on stages around the world because he too Was a marketer who would start like lots of different companies. And finally, you know, Magi comes together fast forward to today in 2026. It's wildly amazing and helps tons of people. what Magi does is it takes all the LLMs, put it under one roof. So you only have one login, one password, and one price. Instead of paying $20 for like five different things, it's one. and I had him come into the mastermind to talk to us about AI because he was engulfed

Wil sits down with 30-year restaurant veteran and author Lance Reynolds for a candid conversation about the realities of independent restaurant ownership. Lance shares his unlikely origin story, going from janitor to owner of the very same restaurant, and opens up about nearly losing everything when he overextended on a fourth location, plus the vulnerability it took to ask for help and turn things around. The two dig into what actually drives restaurant success: putting employees first, delivering genuine hospitality, telling your story, and embracing technology and AI to free up time for the human connection that makes local restaurants irreplaceable. With independent restaurants facing record closures, Lance offers practical, hard-won advice on reducing employee turnover, training effectively, managing your numbers, and using tools like AI and voice technology to survive and thrive in a tough economy.Top 10 Key TakeawaysYou don't have to fail to succeed. Lance learned everything the hard way through pain and near-bankruptcy. His mission now is helping operators skip the worst lessons through mentorship, books, and education.Ask for help, it's not weakness. Lance came within days of losing four restaurants and 177 jobs. The turning point was swallowing his ego, admitting he didn't know how to build a P&L, and asking for guidance.It's not about the food. Skilled farm-to-table chefs go out of business daily. Business acumen, systems, and hospitality are what separate survivors from casualties.People-first is the secret sauce. Lance runs on a three-legged stool: employee experience, guest experience, then bottom line, in that order. The financial success is a byproduct of getting the first two right.Turnover is a profit killer. Replacing a line employee costs roughly $4,500 to $6,000, and a manager runs $12,000 to $15,000. Investing in people up front changes the entire financial picture.Training drives retention. The more you train employees, the longer they stay. Well-trained teams build trust, and people don't leave environments they trust.Independent restaurants are community first responders. From hurricanes to wildfires, local restaurants show up with food, time, and money. If they vanished, local economies would collapse in weeks.AI is a game-changer most operators are ignoring. In Lance's talks, fewer than 5% of owners are intentionally using AI. He demonstrates live how it can generate specials, recipes, training, pricing, and social content in minutes.Technology should elevate hospitality, not replace it. Tools like voice AI (e.g., Virnika) and video training platforms automate behind-the-scenes work so staff can focus on guests, and they're not eliminating jobs, just reallocating talent.Tell your story. Sharing why your restaurant exists creates emotional connection with employees and guests alike. A chain's Achilles heel is local, intimate knowledge, so lean into it.
