Artificial intelligence is now starting to creep into the Australian red meat supply chain, whether it is accurately counting sheep or cattle off a truck into a meatworks holding yard, or picking the shape of tri-tips from a range of primals passing down a processing conveyor belt and packing them in a carton. In today's Weekly Grill podcast, host Kerry Lonergan chews the fat with Dr Tom Lee from the University of Technology, Sydney. Tom classifies himself as a ‘middle man' between AI technology developers/designers and potential end-users like farmers and meat processors. Haw far has AI progressed in ag? While certain early-adopters and innovator farmers are on the front foot, uptake is still pretty niche in ag, Tom says, but things are changing rapidly. But right now, for the bulk of farmers, AI is still something they are hearing about, rather than applying. He says it's important to make a distinction between AI and a second second technology term, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). “People think AI will eventually mimic a human being, if we keep investing in it – but that's AGI, not AI,” he said. “AI is great at playing a game of chess – solving ‘small world things' where all the inputs are known, and it can work through all the permutations, using massive amounts of data in really powerful ways – but it can't do the things that a human mind can do.” The Weekly Grill is brought to listeners by Rhinogard and Bovi-Shield MH-One – the One Shot, One Spray, One Time BRD Vaccines by Zoetis.

The Building Better Developers with AI podcast continues its season of revisiting past episodes with fresh insights. In this discussion, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit the classic topic of breaking through career plateaus and reframe it through the lens of developer career growth. The original episode shared practical strategies for accelerating progress. This version adds AI-driven perspectives, personal stories, and a reminder that developers must be intentional about growth in a rapidly evolving industry. Recognizing Developer Career Growth Roadblocks Career plateaus are rarely obvious. Instead, they surface gradually through symptoms like: Completing tasks on autopilot A lack of new responsibilities or ownership Months without learning a new tool, framework, or design pattern As Rob explains, being “comfortable” often means you're falling behind. In technology, a developer's career growth demands continuous movement forward. If you haven't challenged yourself in six months, your developer career growth may already be stuck. Why Developer Career Growth Plateaus Happen Rob frames the plateau as a “gamer problem”—your XP bar fills, but the level-up screen never appears. Routine work, a lack of internal visibility, or failure to market oneself can all hinder a developer's career growth. Michael emphasizes the importance of self-reflection. Sometimes the issue isn't a lack of opportunity, but a lack of initiative. Are you doing the bare minimum, or seeking challenges that stretch you? He shares how experimenting with signature tablets and webcams—well outside his role—kept him learning and growing. That curiosity didn't move him up in that company, but it paved the way to a higher-paying role elsewhere. Expanding Beyond Code for Developer Career Growth Not all growth is about coding more. Rob points out that developer career growth also comes from: Taking on design and architecture work Mentoring and teaching others Exploring leadership or project ownership Michael reinforces the power of teaching. Sharing knowledge sharpens communication skills, broadens perspective, and strengthens problem-solving abilities. Strategies to Accelerate Developer Career Growth The episode outlines clear steps for reigniting progress: Stretch Projects – Volunteer for cross-team or challenging work. Skill Stacking – Add complementary abilities like UX, DevOps, or CI/CD. Mentorship 2.0 – Learn from mentors, but also mentor others. Visibility Boosts – Blog, present at meetups, or contribute to open source. Side Hustles – Build projects outside work to push yourself into new learning. Side projects are “cheat codes” for developer career growth. Even small shifts—such as switching IDEs or adopting new tools—can help shake off stagnation and sharpen your adaptability. AI's Role in Developer Career Growth Michael warns against ignoring AI. Some developers resist learning it, believing their existing skills will always be in demand. History shows otherwise—just as COBOL programmers saw demand collapse after Y2K, today's developers risk irrelevance by avoiding new technologies. Embracing AI isn't optional anymore. It's the new baseline for sustaining developer career growth.

Her unconventional educational journey began when her mother chose to homeschool her, recognizing that traditional schooling methods were not suited for her children. Despite not beginning to read until age 12, Claire's educational path flourished under the flexible and personalized approach of homeschooling. This allowed her natural talents and problem-solving abilities to develop unfettered by conventional educational constraints. Her rapid progress led her to college at just 15 years old. After graduating, Claire's entrepreneurial spirit drove her to become a founding partner and successfully manage a pioneering medical device company. The company's innovative product is currently in clinical trials for FDA approval. Drawing from her personal experiences, Claire is now a passionate advocate for educational reform. She believes in the power of individualized learning approaches that nurture creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative skills. Her mission is to raise awareness about the limitations of traditional schooling methods and promote alternative educational pathways that can unlock the full potential of each learner. As an educator and thought leader, Claire challenges the status quo in education, encouraging parents and policymakers to consider more flexible and adaptive learning environments. Her work focuses on demonstrating how unconventional educational approaches can lead to remarkable personal and professional success, preparing students for the challenges of the modern world.

On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley sits down with family law attorney Gerard Virga to share a remarkable story of resilience, leadership, and reinvention. When Hurricane Michael destroyed Gerard's law office in 2018, he didn't pause or panic. Instead, the very next day, he started looking for a new space to work. Remarkably, that same day, he found a building still standing—and a landlord outside, willing to help. Gerard was offered a spot on the fifth floor, fully furnished and ready to go. As a result, just a few weeks later, in the middle of widespread devastation, his firm experienced one of its busiest Novembers ever. Families were struggling through custody issues, living in trailers, surrounded by debris, and trying to survive. Gerard knew he had to show up—for his clients, his team, and his family. That moment shifted everything. The crisis changed how Gerard viewed leadership and client service. He became more empathetic, more present, and more open. Because of this, he saw how important it was to lead with compassion and to run a firm that could adapt quickly. So, he started modernizing his systems. Eventually, he moved operations onto servers and into the cloud, stepping away from paper files entirely. Meanwhile, his sense of purpose extended beyond the office. After seeing firsthand how hard the storm had hit local families, Gerard's wife, Mary, suggested they give back. Together, they created Operation Santa—a holiday initiative to bring joy to families who had lost everything. That experience became a turning point. More than anything, it reminded Gerard why this work matters. Now, as the legal landscape continues to evolve, Gerard is once again rebuilding. This time, he's leaning into AI, not to replace attorneys, but to support them. His goal is to free up his lawyers so they can focus on what only humans can do: connect, advise, and advocate. AI can handle repetitive tasks. In turn, attorneys can spend more time building relationships and preparing for trial. Gerard sees that as the future of law, a people-centered profession powered by smart systems. Ultimately, he credits his resilience to the people who count on him: his wife, his kids, and his team. He believes true leadership means being willing to change for the better, especially when others are depending on you. This episode is for anyone who's been knocked down and is ready to rebuild—smarter, stronger, and with purpose. In this episode, you will hear: Rebuilding a law firm after Hurricane Michael with resilience and strategic innovation Importance of understanding your “why” in building a meaningful legal practice Embracing AI technology to modernize client communication and enhance firm operations “Operation Santa” initiative led by Gerard Virga's wife to support hurricane-affected families Challenges of managing a law firm with a hybrid model and remote workforce The evolving role of AI in legal practice, focusing on enhancing human interactions rather than replacing them Personal connections and integrity in navigating family law and building client trust Stay Connected & Show Your Support: Never miss an episode—subscribe to Great Practice, Great Life! ⭐Like what you hear?

The AI revolution isn't just another technological shift—it's a fundamental disruption that will permanently alter the relationship between capital and labor. In this episode, Hans and Brian explore how artificial intelligence is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, threatening traditional employment while creating massive opportunities for those who are prepared.Drawing insights from Jordi Visser's analysis on AI's impact on Wall Street, they examine why this disruption is different from past innovations. Unlike previous technological advances that created new job categories, AI has the potential to replace both mental and physical labor at a speed that far exceeds society's ability to adapt.The discussion emphasizes why building a strong capital base through strategies like Infinite Banking Concepts (IBC) may be more crucial than ever. Rather than trying to predict exactly how AI will unfold, Hans and Brian advocate for creating flexible financial strategies that can thrive regardless of the specific outcomes.Capital Compounds, Labor Waits: The fundamental shift happening now is that AI enables capital to grow exponentially while labor becomes increasingly replaceable. Companies can dramatically reduce their workforce while simultaneously increasing productivity and profits, creating an unprecedented divergence between capital owners and workers.The Speed of Disruption: What once took decades of technological adoption now happens in quarters. The pace of AI advancement means traditional economic models and Fed policies may be inadequate for managing a world where markets boom while unemployment rises simultaneously.Building Financial Resilience: Rather than trying to predict exactly how AI will unfold, the focus should be on creating flexible financial strategies that can thrive regardless of the specific outcomes. Having accessible capital and ownership positions becomes critical for capturing opportunities in this rapidly changing landscape.Embracing AI as a Tool: Instead of resisting technological change, individuals and businesses should actively learn to leverage AI for productivity gains. Those who adapt early will have significant advantages over those who try to avoid or ignore these tools.➡️Chapters:00:00 - Opening thoughts on AI as unprecedented disruption01:00 - Introduction to the episode and Jordi Visser's insights03:00 - Brian's real estate closing and dry powder strategy04:00 - Comparing AI to previous disruptors (internet, mobile phones)07:00 - Capital compounds, labor waits - the new paradigm09:00 - Which industries and jobs are at risk11:00 - The future of airline pilots and automation13:00 - Logarithmic scale of technological change15:00 - The death of the university system18:00 - Trade jobs and physical labor considerations19:00 - Building capital for the next generation21:00 - Social unrest and economic disparity risks24:00 - Christian perspective on fear and preparation25:00 - Federal Reserve challenges with AI disruption27:00 - IBC as resilient foundational strategy29:00 - The three-body problem analogy for unpredictability31:00 - Personal AI experiences and practical applications34:00 - Don't become a "boomer with a phone"36:00 - Meta and Tesla's AI investments39:00 - The importance of staying current with AI41:00 - July 4th plans and closing thoughtsGot Questions?

Technology is no longer just a helpful tool for running small businesses. It has become the lifeline for small business success. In this episode, Eric clarifies why technology is now non-negotiable when running a successful small business. Tune in to learn why, as a small business owner, you must either evolve and adapt or risk getting left behind. AI Blackmail An article on Entropic described a test scenario where AI named specific (fictional) people and made a blackmail demand. Even though the situation was fabricated for testing purposes, it highlighted the potential dangers of advanced AI behavior. A Double-Edged Sword Every major invention in history has had the potential for great harm and tremendous benefit. The outcome depends entirely on how humans choose to use these tools. AI is no exception. It represents a societal shift similar to the Industrial Revolution, with its presence growing across all industries. Today, adaptation is essential, especially in the meetings and events space, where technology is now deeply integrated. Those who ignore it risk becoming irrelevant. From Fax Machines to Automation During his early business days in Brussels, Eric used to manually collect faxed proposals in the evenings after doing sales visits by day. Now, 70% of that work can be automated. Standard proposals and client-facing documents can now be systematized using technology, drastically reducing the time and effort required. People vs. Tech In the past, hiring a high-level executive assistant in Belgium came at a significant cost to Eric due to their high social security contributions. Today, however, business owners can find skilled virtual assistants anywhere in the world for a fraction of the cost. Smarter Prospecting with AI Aspects of prospecting that used to take hours of manual outreach before can now be streamlined with CRM systems and AI. By scanning the online presence of a prospect through their LinkedIn profile, AI can recommend tailored messaging and communication strategies, making outreach faster, more personal, and far more effective. Embrace AI Now Now is the time to embrace AI and new technologies. Those who do so will be better positioned for success. So, whether you are starting a new business or evolving an existing one, tech literacy is a must. Face-to-Face Is Still Irreplaceable Even with the rise of AI, the human connection is likely to become more valuable, not less, as people always crave genuine, in-person experiences.
