Afraid of AI? We share how to start small and take control using AI fear-free. Also: bear attacks in Missouri and British Columbia raise outdoor safety concerns, and women bronc riders are defying rodeo stereotypes. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Real Fear, Real Change: Why It's Time to Embrace AI, Respect Wildlife, and Cheer on Women in Rodeo Don't Fear the Future: How to Start Using AI in Everyday Life Without Feeling Overwhelmed Curious about AI but a little nervous to try it? Learn how to start using AI fear-free with beginner-friendly tools, simple tasks like meal planning, and trusted platforms to get you started. Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't just for tech experts, coders, or Silicon Valley. In fact, AI is already helping everyday people solve everyday problems—and you can start using it right now, even if you're a complete beginner. If you've been feeling hesitant or even afraid of AI, you're not alone. But the truth is, learning how to use AI doesn't have to be intimidating. With the right mindset and a few simple tools, you can start making your life easier today. Why Are People Afraid of AI? Many people fear AI because of myths and misunderstandings—like the idea that it's going to take over jobs or turn into science fiction-level robots. In reality, AI is more like a helpful assistant. Think of it as a calculator for your brain—only smarter, faster, and more versatile. The key is learning how to work with AI, not against it. Beginner-Friendly AI Use: Meal Planning & Fridge Rescue Let's start with something simple and familiar: food. AI can take the stress out of cooking and shopping with easy tools that help you: 1. Plan Your Weekly Meals Instead of scrolling endlessly for recipe ideas, you can ask AI to: Create a weekly dinner plan based on your dietary needs (gluten-free, keto, vegetarian, etc.) Generate a shopping list based on your meal plan Suggest quick recipes for busy nights Try This Prompt: "Can you create a 5-day dinner meal plan for two adults, under $75, that includes leftovers for lunch?" 2. Use What's in the Fridge Don't throw away food just because you don't know what to do with it. AI can suggest creative, safe, and delicious ways to use ingredients before they expire. Try This Prompt: "I have eggs, wilting spinach, a half-used onion, and some shredded cheese. What can I cook tonight?" You'll be surprised how helpful and creative AI can be! Tips & Tricks to Start Using AI Fear-Free Here's how to dip your toes into the AI pool without diving headfirst: 1. Start With Low-Risk, Everyday Tasks AI is great for: Making grocery lists Writing polite emails Summarizing long articles Brainstorming gift ideas Budget planning The more you use it for small tasks, the more confident you'll feel. 2. Use Clear, Friendly Prompts Don't overthink it—talk to AI like a helpful assistant or a friend. Instead of: "Build me a machine learning model to predict market trends" Try: "Can you explain what inflation is in simple terms?" Safe AI Tools & Websites for Beginners Tool What It Does Why It's Good for Beginners ChatGPT (OpenAI) Answers questions, helps plan, write, learn Very conversational and user-friendly Google Gemini  Similar to ChatGPT, connected to live web Great for real-time info   Pro Tip: Always double-check anything AI gives you—especially when it comes to food safety, finances, or health. Think of AI like a smartphone app: it's here to make your life easier, not harder. Starting small—with simple things like meal planning or organizing your week—can build your confidence and save you time. You don't need to become an AI expert overnight. You just need curiosity, a willingness to try, and a safe place to start.   Tragedy in the Ozarks: Bear Attack Confirmed Authorities have confirmed that a black bear was responsible for the tragic death of a camper in Newton County, Arkansas. 60-year-old Max Thomas of Springfield, Missouri, was camping alone at Sam's Throne Campground in the Ozark National Forest late last week. Thomas had been sleeping on an open-air cot—completely exposed—when he was attacked overnight. Family members grew concerned after not hearing from him for several days. Before communication stopped, Thomas had sent them a photo of a black bear lurking near his campsite. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission initially suspected a bear due to the nature of his injuries and signs at the scene. Now, it's confirmed. Using Thomas's photo and trail cameras set up after the incident, officials tracked down and euthanized the bear believed to be responsible. It's a rare and tragic reminder of the risks of camping in bear country—especially without proper protection. This marks the 2nd Missouri fatal bear attack in a month after 25 years without any.

Wilderness According to Outdoor Life, an elk hunter in southeastern British Columbia is lucky to be alive after a serious encounter with a grizzly bear near Fort Steele last Thursday. Authorities say the man, whose name hasn't been released, was critically injured after a sow grizzly—believed to be protecting her cubs—attacked him. The hunter had been using elk calls, which officials believe may have unintentionally drawn the bear family to his location. The man reportedly got off one shot during the attack, but it's unclear if the bear was hit. Due to the severity of his injuries, officials haven't been able to speak with him yet. He was airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital, where he is now listed in stable condition. Conservation officers used thermal drones and helicopters to search the area but found no sign of the bear afterward. The investigation is ongoing, with help from predator attack specialists and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The town of Fort Steele lies approximately 60 miles north of the Canadian border, and not far from the town of Whitefish and nearby Glacier National Park in northwest Montana. Officials say elk season is currently in full swing in the region—reminding hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to stay alert in grizzly country.

Riders like Tup Forge, who flew in from Australia and won gold at Cheyenne Frontier Days on just three hours of sleep, are proving that this sport isn't just for the boys. It's been less than a decade since women were welcomed back into rough stock competitions after nearly 90 years of exclusion, originally sparked by a tragic accident in 1929. But these modern cowgirls aren't just here for show — they're serious athletes competing in one of the most dangerous events out there. They ride what they rope in — using ranch saddles instead of the typical rodeo gear — and often spend more than they win. Yet despite the bruises and empty pockets, they keep showing up. Why? Because they love it. So next time you see a woman riding high on a bucking bronc, remember: she's not just breaking barriers — she's making history. Ring in 2026 in true Western style at Leather & Lace: A New Year's Rodeo & Party! Watford City, North Dakota will come alive on New Year's Eve with a one-of-a-kind celebration featuring grit, glamour and good times!

To say the area is beautiful is an understatement! There was not a bad view anywhere.    The landscape of "Red Rocks" peaked out from an unusual surprise for me as they were tucked in a forest! Of course there were still prickly pear cactus everywhere, it was refreshing to see so many juniper cousin trees! We rented our first tiny home at the Pines Resort outside of west Sedona and love it! These little homes offered all the amenities of home! Between the miles and miles of hikes to such places as the 7 Sacred Pools to then continuing up the mountain to caves in which we of course explored to then hiking to Devils Bridge.... To say the least, the trip was amazing on all levels!!   The cover photo for this episode is us sitting atop Devils Bridge, a hike few have the chance to take and do recommend!  Photo L to R: Mardee Reich, Kaydee Reich, Rebecca 'BEC' Wanner, Destinee Jensen   Remember: Take The Time, Make The Memories!!!   OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

In today's episode, Lisa Fine speaks with Susan Cooper, Vice President of Regulatory Compliance Programs and Global Data Protection Officer at Meta, discussing her approach to compliance in the technology sector.  Susan discusses the path that led her to her current role, which is unique as her team is embedded within Meta's product organization. Being part of the product development team allows compliance to work hand-in-hand with product development through their risk review process, which assesses privacy, security, content safety, and financial risks in a centralized process for over 1,400 products per month.  It is part of their processes. Susan also discusses how Meta utilizes “privacy-aware infrastructure,” embedding compliance requirements into standardized, reusable code components that can be used throughout the organization. She also provides some advice for compliance professionals, particularly those who are interested in technology companies, including: Learn to speak “tech” if you want to work in tech compliance. Get to know your stakeholders and their concerns; Keep a growth mindset – be willing to ask questions and learn constantly; and Embrace AI and automation tools to scale your work and keep learning about these tools.

In this episode of the REB podcast, host Liam Garman speaks with Craig Deveson, founder and CEO of Properti, about how artificial intelligence is transforming the real estate industry. Craig explains how Properti turns every listing into a “growth flywheel”, helping agents win more listings, streamline the sales process and engage the typically passive 40 per cent of the market. The platform integrates appraisal proposals, social launches, portal amplification and sales workflows, using smart templates and automation to reduce content creation time by up to 90 per cent. A standout feature is the AI-powered agent system, which allows agents to perform complex tasks through simple voice or text commands. Craig highlights that the platform generates leads far more efficiently than traditional portals, often producing 10 times the results for a similar cost. He also acknowledges that resistance to technology remains a challenge but emphasises that principals don't need to be tech experts themselves – they just need someone to champion innovation.

AI-driven transformation is underway as over half of tech and media firms plan major organizational restructures to integrate artificial intelligence, despite the high failure rate of early pilot programs. Salesforce expects AI to handle 50% of service calls by 2027, while Business Insider is quietly using AI to draft articles. Fiverr's "AI-first" restructuring has led to a 30% workforce reduction, sparking backlash. The rapid shift reveals both opportunity and risk, especially as poor implementation and loss of customer trust threaten to undermine the promised benefits.Meanwhile, Microsoft is under fire from Consumer Reports for ending support for Windows 10 on October 14th, leaving hundreds of millions of devices potentially vulnerable. Many cannot upgrade to Windows 11 due to hardware limitations, and Microsoft's proposed $30/year fee for extended updates has drawn criticism. Managed service providers (MSPs) now face an uphill battle to communicate this change, mitigate client dissatisfaction, and navigate rushed hardware refreshes.Cyber resilience and AI are converging across the IT stack. N-able, Syncro, and LogicMonitor are rolling out AI-driven features such as anomaly detection, M365/Entra ID backups, and cross-cloud observability. Microsoft Research's open-source MCP Interviewer tool could open new service opportunities for validating AI infrastructure. The trend signals a shift from AI as novelty to AI as operational backbone — but with much of it still experimental, caution is advised.Finally, big questions loom: Is poor leadership being misdiagnosed as a failure of remote work? Can Oracle's $317B backlog — heavily reliant on OpenAI — actually deliver value? And if generative AI increases global GDP by trillions, who truly benefits — vendors or end users? At the grassroots level, students turning to AI for homework raises concerns about eroding critical thinking and long-term workforce preparedness. Four things to know today 00:00 Over Half of Tech Firms Plan Major Restructures to Embrace AI, Despite High Failure Rates05:28 Consumer Reports Urges Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support Beyond October 14 Deadline07:03 From Backup Anomaly Detection to MCP Reliability: AI and Cyber Resilience Are Converging in the IT Stack09:48 From Oracle's AI Gamble to Students Skipping Homework: Who Really Captures the Value of Technology? This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

News and Updates: A Boston medical study found smartphone use on the toilet raises hemorrhoid risk by 46%. Phone users stayed seated far longer — often 6–15 minutes — amplifying pressure that leads to painful swelling. While causation wasn't proven, doctors warn the habit may be fueling the condition. Taco Bell is rethinking AI drive-thrus after viral failures, like glitchy bots repeating orders or a prank request for 18,000 cups of water. The chain says humans may still be better in high-volume locations. Rival fast food chains Wendy's and McDonald's are pushing ahead with AI rollouts in 2025. At IFA 2025, Amazon, Google, Samsung, and LG touted AI-powered smart homes that anticipate user needs — from proactive lighting to predictive repairs. But privacy, infrastructure, and reliability remain major hurdles before homes achieve Star Trek–style ambient computing. A new survey shows 85% of U.S. college students use generative AI for coursework, calling it a “24/7 tutor.” Students want clear rules and training, not bans, though many admit AI can weaken critical thinking. Despite AI's rise, most still see college as relevant — though its payoff may be shrinking. A lottery expert warns Powerball's “Quick Picks” feature hurts players' odds by generating duplicate numbers, just as the jackpot swells to $1.7B. Officials deny foul play, but critics urge filling tickets by hand. Odds remain astronomical at 1 in 292 million. Confusion erupted over Gmail security after reports falsely claimed Google told 2.5B users to reset passwords. Google clarified no mass breach occurred, though hackers have targeted Salesforce data and used vishing scams. The company urges 2FA, passkeys, and vigilance against phishing.

Back in spring 2024, I recorded a handful of episodes with no idea they'd take the scenic route to your inbox. Life had other plans, but the conversations held up beautifully, maybe even better with a little time to breathe. This is the first in a short run of those spring episodes, and I think you'll find it worth the wait.In this episode of Technically Speaking, I'm joined by Jermaine Murray also known as The Jobfather. He's a career coach and founder of Jupiter HR, who's vision is to help 500 Black professionals land jobs in tech (he's currently at 448).We get into the state of today's job market from employer indifference toward DEI to the rise of AI, and what it actually takes to future-proof your career. Jermaine shares his approach to identifying green flags when evaluating companies, how to avoid burnout while doing meaningful work, and why now is the time to invest in yourself even when the odds feel stacked against many.This one's part motivation, part strategy, and packed with sharp insights for anyone navigating change. We also had a few moments of laugh out loud laughter from his stories.Key Takeaways* Leverage Your Past Skills: Don't abandon previous experience when transitioning to tech - assess what you're good at, what you like, and what you've had success with to find the right tech role* Job Market Reality Check: Current tech job searches take 9-18 months (vs. 2-3 months previously) due to increased competition and fewer opportunities - timing and referrals are crucial* DEI Shift: Companies have moved from active diversity requirements to "indifference" - focus on finding places where you're appreciated, not just tolerated* Embrace AI as a Tool: You won't be replaced by AI, but by someone leveraging AI better than you - adapt and use it as a productivity multiplier rather than fear it* Ask the Hard Questions: Always interview to know your market value, and directly ask about things that make you anxious (company stability, layoff history, diversity support) - how they respond matters more than what they sayNotable Quotes"Ask them the most awkward things. The things that make you feel anxious. Ask them... what happens with disruptions or new technologies.""Taking an interview is not the same as job hopping... you should always be interviewing so that you know what your real time value is and whatever decision that you make is an informed decision.""You can't be scared of AI... you will be replaced by somebody that is leveraging AI rather than AI itself.""Why do you think that your employer owns the skills that you carry with you in your body? They own the time that you work for them, but all the skills you carry with you."Resources* Follow Jermaine on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok* JupiterHR* Harrison on LinkedIn, InstagramTimestamps00:00 Introduction00:30 Meet Jermaine Murray "The job father"00:47 Jermaine's mission and success stories02:05 Balancing work and health03:01 Gaming talk: from Final Fantasy to Nvidia04:30 Current obsessions: fitness journey07:41 Unusual jobs and memorable stories11:59 The origin of 'The job father'17:54 Defining tech and career advice24:29 Understanding career motivations25:10 Leveraging past skills in new roles27:35 Recruitment strategies and market trends30:51 The impact of DEI in the workplace35:02 Navigating AI and technological advancements40:18 Identifying green flags in job opportunities47:25 Final thoughts and contact information Get full access to Technically Speaking at technicallyspeakinghw.substack.com/subscribe

Artificial intelligence didn't just arrive; it opened a gateway. Like the ship Event Horizon, it was built to push the limits of innovation. Instead, it slipped into something else. Today, every search, voice command, and documents are pulled into its gravity drawn past a threshold where consent becomes irrelevant and return is impossible. Once your data crosses in, it stays. It trains the system, shapes its responses, and leaves a trace that can't be unlearned. This isn't speculative. It's already happening. Just ask Samsung, whose engineers fed sensitive code into a chatbot without realizing it would be swallowed whole. The line between public and private no longer bends; it fractures. If that leaves you unsettled, it should. Because discomfort is a warning sign. And whether you're a casual user or a corporate gatekeeper, the question is no longer if your data is in the system but how much, and who's using it now. Step in. The fold's already started. The Rise of AI and the Quest for Data Artificial intelligence has made extraordinary progress in recent years, with large language models and image generators leading the way. These systems require enormous volumes of data to learn, improve, and generate coherent, useful outputs. Whether it's composing emails or generating lifelike images, their effectiveness depends on how much and what kind of data they consume. The more data they ingest, the better they become at mimicking human language, creativity, and interaction. But where does all AI data come from? Much of it originates from the internet itself forums, blogs, social media posts, product reviews, and even customer service interactions. These seemingly innocuous digital traces form the building blocks of modern AI systems. Over time, the distinction between public and private data has become increasingly blurred, making it harder to track what is truly off-limits. Data that was once considered sensitive may now be swept up in massive scraping operations, often without the user's awareness or consent. The AI Data Trap: Once In, Never Out AI Chatbots like ChatGPT are now embedded into browsers, mobile operating systems, smart assistants, and even surveillance technologies. These tools quietly monitor and learn from how we interact with the digital world. From typing patterns to location check-ins, AI systems are constantly collecting signals. What's more concerning is the casual manner in which data is harvested. Companies often claim the data is "publicly available" or has been "anonymized and aggregated,". But the reality is that those terms are rarely explained clearly. Consent is usually buried deep in lengthy terms of service, which most users never read. As AI becomes more embedded in daily life, every click, tap, and scroll becomes part of a growing dataset that fuels machine intelligence. Click, Paste, Breach The corporate risks of AI data leakage became painfully clear in 2023, when Samsung engineers accidentally uploaded sensitive source code into ChatGPT while troubleshooting. The data, once entered, became part of OpenAI's training material. What was intended as a simple tech fix became a data breach that no firewall could prevent. This highlights how easily confidential information can be compromised. And the Samsung AI data leak isn't an isolated incident. Across industries, employees frequently copy and paste internal documents, legal drafts, or medical notes into AI tools seeking assistance. AI tools, while helpful, are not secure by default. Their design is built around learning from user input. And this poses significant risks when proprietary or regulated data is involved. The data leak issue is particularly problematic for sectors like tech, law, and finance. Embrace AI or Protect Data? Companies are caught in a difficult balancing act when they use AI tools. On one hand, AI promises massive productivity improvements, automating routine tasks and uncovering insights faster than human teams ever could....

Our guest in this episode is Brett Engeman, the founder of Aspirational Leaders Co. After spending two decades navigating the challenges of fast-growing businesses, Brett now dedicates himself to helping leaders unlock strategic communication flow, operating at the exciting intersection of mindset, human interaction, and artificial intelligence. Our conversation was a fascinating deep dive into solving the frustrating communication breakdowns that stifle growth, exploring the powerful and surprising ways Brett uses AI to create more authentic and effective leaders.Key points discussed include:* Great communication starts by diagnosing your own thinking patterns to better connect with others.* Embrace AI as your co-pilot to gain deep insights and free up time for human-centered leadership.* In a world of instant answers, your greatest superpower is deep curiosity and asking brilliant questions.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Show Notes from this episode with Brett Engeman, Aspirational Leaders Co.It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Brett Engeman of Aspirational Leaders Co. to the Innovabuzz podcast. Brett is on a mission to solve a problem that almost every entrepreneur has felt: that frustrating sense of entrapment when communication breaks down in a fast-moving business. He works at the fascinating intersection of mindset, communication, and artificial intelligence, and our conversation was a brilliant exploration of how leaders can unlock flow and scale their organizations by, first and foremost, learning to communicate better.What I loved about our chat was how Brett brought it all back to a fundamental truth. We've all been in those work environments where the communication is good, where everyone feels like a genuine contributor to a shared mission. As Brett said, when it's good, "magic happens." People love coming to work. But we've also seen the flip side, when growth and new teams lead to silos and misunderstandings, and that magic quickly fades.Brett has seen the good and the bad over his 20 years in scaling businesses, and he's learned that even leaders with the best intentions can inadvertently create these communication gaps. It's not about blame; it's about awareness. His insights offer a powerful blueprint for rediscovering that collaborative magic, no matter the size of your team.It All Starts with You: A Diagnosis of Your Own Thinking PatternsSo, where does a leader begin? According to Brett, the first step is an inward one. He starts his work with leaders by conducting a "communication diagnosis" to help them understand how they themselves think and process information. This was a lightbulb moment for me. We all have our own default settings; a leader might be a "visual thinker" who sees the big picture, the grand vision.The problem arises when they're communicating that vision to a team member who is, as Brett explained, more "kinesthetic" and detail-oriented. The leader is talking about the "why," while the team member is desperate to understand the "how." Without this awareness, a disconnect is almost guaranteed. It's a simple yet profound realization that miscommunication often starts not with what is said, but with a mismatch in how it's processed.From Vision to Action: How to Finally Get Everyone on the Same PageOnce you have that self-awareness, you can start bridging the gap. Brett shared some wonderfully practical advice, emphasizing that leaders must consciously cater their message to all thinking types. And his golden rule for getting a message to stick is one I won't soon forget: "If you think you're communicating a lot... do it five times more." In a vacuum of information, people will naturally create their own stories, so consistent and clear repetition is your greatest ally.This extends to the very language we use in our values and vision statements. Brett gave a brilliant example of a vague vision to be the "biggest and best." What does that actually mean? Is it profit? Market share? Customer satisfaction? He urges leaders to break these terms down into specific, unified meanings. When you do that, the vision transforms from a nice phrase on a wall into a tangible goal that everyone can see, understand, and work toward together.My Unexpected Co-pilot: Using AI to See Our Communication ClearlyThis is where our conversation took a fascinating turn into the world of AI. Brett shared how, almost by accident, he discovered AI could be a powerful mirror for communication. By feeding transcripts of his research calls into an AI model loaded with his own custom language filters, he could extract incredible insights about a person's communication style—a process that would have manually taken him nearly 20 hours.This isn't just about spotting filler words, though Brett humbly admitted it helped him notice his own overuse of "um." His AI-powered diagnostic can identify a person's core thinking patterns, their motivation strategies (are they moving towards a goal or away from a consequence?), and so much more. It's a stunning example of using technology not to replace human intuition, but to augment and accelerate it.Your Second Brain: Leveraging AI for More Than Just Mundane TasksBrett sees AI's role extending far beyond diagnostics. He uses these fantastic metaphors of AI as a "second brain" you can use for brainstorming or a "bunch of smart friends in the room" you can bounce ideas off of without annoying your entire team. It's a way to refine your thinking before you even bring an idea to the table for a more meaningful discussion.By embracing AI to handle these kinds of tasks, or to automate the mundane work that clutters our days, leaders can free up their most valuable resource: their time and attention. This allows them to step away from the keyboard and do what only they can do: be present with their team, listen with empathy, and cultivate genuine human connection.The Paradox of Progress: Why Authenticity is Your New SuperpowerWe also touched on a compelling paradox of our modern age. As AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, our human capacity to spot in-authenticity is becoming sharper than ever. People can sense when a LinkedIn post or an email is written by a robot, and they are craving authenticity more than ever.This means the rise of AI doesn't diminish the need for great leaders; it makes them more critical. The leaders who will truly connect and inspire are those who are emotionally intelligent, who show up as themselves, and who aren't afraid to be human. Technology can handle the tasks, but it can't replicate true presence and empathy.The One Skill to Cultivate for the Next 50 YearsSo what is the most profound skill leaders should be cultivating for the future? When I asked Brett to look 50 years down the road, his answer was simple but powerful: learn to be curious. In a world where AI can provide answers in an instant, the uniquely human ability to ask great questions and to be genuinely curious about another person's perspective will be invaluable.It's about seeking to understand, not just to be understood. It's about fostering deeper connections and growing together, rather than living in conflict or a state of constant misunderstanding. This is the human skill that technology will never replicate, and it is the foundation of truly effective leadership.In Summary: My conversation with Brett Engeman was a masterclass in modern leadership. It's a call to look inward at our own communication styles, to be relentlessly clear in our vision, and to embrace technology like AI as a co-pilot that allows us to be more human, not less. By focusing on authentic connection and deep curiosity, we can navigate the future and build businesses where the magic truly happens.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Brett's answers to the questions of our innovation round.

Karl Bryan welcomes AI strategist Caroline Hinton for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in the world of business coaching. Together, they break down how coaches are leveraging AI for efficiency, measurable ROI, client relationships, and industry relevance—while also addressing key ethical safeguards and practical tips for new coaches. Key Topics & Takeaways: 1. AI's Impact in Coaching AI is already being used (sometimes secretly) by executives and their teams, regardless of top-down adoption. It acts as an indispensable tool, not a threat—think of it as a “brilliant but blunt analyst” that's now part of every leadership circle. Three big shifts: stealth adoption, compressed decision cycles, and democratized simulation with AI tools. 2. How Coaches Are Using AI Massive time savings: AI can organize, summarize, and document calls and workshops in minutes instead of hours. Enhanced client relationships: With routine admin handled by AI, coaches focus on deeper human connections and tailored follow-ups. Powerful diagnostics: Tools like Profit Acceleration Software (PAS) quickly generate profit opportunity roadmaps with minimal data entry, saving time and impressing clients. 3. Demonstrating Value & ROI AI bridges the industry's “credibility gap” by providing both qualitative and quantitative proof of progress. Tools can analyze and track changes in mindset or business performance, helping coaches and clients see tangible results and ROI, updating results in real time. 4. Ethical Considerations Caroline's “Three Cs” of AI ethics: Consent (transparent use and permission), Containment (clear data boundaries and privacy), and Clarity (explainable, source-based results). Coaches should update contracts, anonymize sensitive information, and consider keeping an audit trail of AI interactions to build trust. 5. Advice for New Coaches Treat AI fluency like learning a new sport: start with prompt crafting and develop a regular practice routine. Focus on a “pilot loop”: select a single workflow to automate, measure improvement, and iterate. Harness free online training (from ChatGPT Academy, Google, YouTube) to build AI skills quickly and effectively. 6. Avoiding Overwhelm Filter decisions through: Bottleneck (where do you lose most time?), Anchor (pick one main tool), and Layer (slowly add new tools). Start small, evaluate results, and scale up as you go. 7. Staying Relevant in an AI World Differentiation comes from combining AI-driven insight, compelling storytelling, and an irreplaceable human touch. AI streamlines precision and analysis; coaches add value through empathy, leadership, and psychological depth. Embrace AI as your “superpower,” not a replacement for your unique human perspective. Notable Quotes: “AI is already in the room. It's a tool, not a threat.” “The best opportunity for coaches now is to help clients make sense of AI—decode, challenge, and humanize it.” “At the end of the day... that ability to connect at a human level, to make a difference, to be heard, to influence—are absolutely critical. AI just multiplies your impact.” Resource Links: Profit Acceleration Software by Focused.com ChatGPT Academy For more strategies on elevating your business coaching practice and leveraging cutting-edge AI, check out previous episodes or visit Focused.com.

Send us a textAs biotech labs rush to adopt AI tools for cell culture media development, a critical question emerges: Are we creating a generation of scientists who know which buttons to push but not why they're pushing them? The automation trap that once transformed laboratory workflows now threatens to fundamentally alter how we understand the complex dynamics of culture media composition and performance.In this second part of our conversation with Tom Fletcher, R&D Director at Fujifilm Irvine Scientific, host David Brühlmann explores the practical challenges of implementing AI in cell culture media development while preserving the scientific thinking that drives true innovation.Key Insights from Their Conversation:The Knowledge Generation Imperative: "Don't just think of your job as picking winners out of random experiments," Tom warns. He emphasizes that scientists must prioritize understanding why a specific media formulation works, not just that it works—a distinction that becomes critical as AI makes high-throughput media screening increasingly accessible.Bridging Disciplinary Divides: As teams become more diverse—incorporating data scientists, automation specialists, and traditional bioprocess experts—success depends on creating a collaborative culture where specialists learn to leverage each other's strengths without expecting everyone to have the same foundation in cell culture fundamentals.The Future Bioprocessing Landscape: Tom predicts that while platform media will dominate for speed to clinic, human roles will evolve toward managing automated, digitalized processes with fewer but more technically specialized staff. The media developers who thrive will be those who can maintain scientific rigor while harnessing the power of automation.For biotech leaders navigating this technological transition, Tom's advice is clear: "Embrace AI because I think we all believe it's valuable, but don't allow lazy science to creep in... if you don't resist it, people are going to get lazy and just say 'I've got this supercomputer and I know which buttons to push.' That's not good enough."If you enjoyed this conversation, be sure to explore how it all began:Episodes 1-2: Unlock the Power of Rational Media Design in Bioprocessing with Tom FletcherConnect with Tom Fletcher:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tomfletcher2FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific: www.irvinesci.comThe views and opinions expressed by Tom Fletcher are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Fujifilm Irvine Scientific or its affiliates.Next step:Transform your cell culture media development strategy with a complimentary consultation.
