This week, in Episode 269, we welcome Ted Wolf, co-founder of Guidewise, as the newest regular member of the 21 Hats Podcast crew—and Ted arrives with a pretty good story. Back when he was building his IT staffing business with his brother, a senior employee walked out. But he didn't walk out alone—he took key employees, key accounts, and 40 percent of the company's revenue. At the time, Ted thought it was the worst day of his business life. Turns out, he says, it was his best. Because that disaster forced him to rethink everything—how decisions get made, how profits get shared, how responsibility gets distributed. And that shift led not only to healthy growth but eventually to the kind of exit business owners dream about. That experience continues to inform the work Ted does today, helping companies integrate AI into their operations. The hard part, he tells Jennifer Kerhin, isn't the technology—it's the people. It's managing the change, the fear, the implications. The technology matters, too. Ted and Jennifer also discuss whether small businesses should try to retrofit AI into their current tech stacks—or whether the smarter move, painful as it may be, is to start fresh.
The conversation explores the evolving dynamics of the workplace in the context of AI and automation, highlighting the increasing impersonal nature of employee experiences during onboarding and offboarding. It emphasizes the need for individuals to prioritize their own well-being and loyalty to themselves, rather than solely to their employers.

Changes in a practice are necessary. At times, changes are thrust upon a team, forcing them to pivot. Other times, the practice owner is watching the horizon for economic, technological, or financial impacts that may also force change. Regardless, change is necessary at times and also desirable at times. So, it can be extremely disheartening to have a team that refuses to follow their leader into new changes. In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany discuss the difficultly of change and yet the importance of it. They also discuss how to view and manage team members that may be resisting the revisions. They end with an important message for all practice owners and team members – don't be a dingbat!

In the context of this chapter, Paul is instructing the Christians in Crete on behavior that reflects Christ, not speaking into the right or wrongness of cultural or social practices. It's not just what we know or what we say that helps others to know Christ, but how we live. Whatever circumstances we find ourselves in – by the power of the Holy Spirit – we can conduct ourselves with faithfulness and integrity. During our sermon series studying Paul's letter to Titus we encourage you to memorize Titus 2:11-14. For this week **work on memorizing Titus 2:13**:while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ------Prepare for this week's teaching by reading Titus 2:9-10

Featured Musician: Grand Gesture THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.] --------------------- 1. Purdue Preview: Offense starts at the top Injured Mockobee, injured, turnover-prone starting QB in a battle with Arkansas transfer. OL gets worse from left to right. Receivers drop more than ours. Tight end was one dude who's hurt and three weirdos. They move the ball with College Crappe: screens, GT Counters, lots of RPOs, and the occasional baller play by Ryan Browne. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WINK. 2. Purdue Preview: Defense starts at 25:22 That secondary is rough and getting rougher. They have one good lineman, plus maybe a second in Breeon Ishmail. Linebackers came with Odom. Do the Nebraska thing where they give you lots of weird fronts, 3-3-5, 404 Tite, Mint, etc. so they confuse your reads. Going to be fits and starts, need to take advantage of the cracks without Haynes. 3. MSU After Review starts at 45:51 Defensive UFR things: Jimmy Rolder was a star for more reasons than you think. Jyaire Hill took away their main thing. Chiles looks broken, MSU OL look broken, they are down bad. 4.

Featured Artist: Grand Gesture (Spotify) We featured Grand Gesture on this show back in 2017 and I rediscovered their album I downloaded (for free) from Bandcamp. Reader Ryan Dembinsky (class of 2000) is one of the guitar players in this NYC band that promises "Protean fjord jam rock." I'd actually characterize it as a great example of the more interesting stuff that came out at the end of the garage rock era (other examples: Apollo Sunshine, Starlight Mints) that I thought was better than the genre that birthed it. Ryan also used to write the Ghosts of Wayne Fontes blog back when MGoBlog was young (2006-2009) and sports blogging was a budding industry. I'm not sure they're still together—the last show on their FB page was pre-pandemic—and even then they were all musicians on the side with full-time jobs. I wonder what would have happened if they took this professional though, because they're pretty good and got some buzz in the NYC music scene around 2017.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1184: Today we cover Toyota's response to potential chip shortages, new research showing improved employee satisfaction at dealerships, and what Gen Z travelers want most from their hotel stays.Show Notes with links:Toyota CEO Koji Sato says the automaker isn't facing an immediate chip shortage despite rising concerns after China blocked exports from Dutch chipmaker Nexperia. The move is part of an escalating global tech standoff involving national security concerns.The Dutch government seized control of Nexperia last month over fears its Chinese parent, Wingtech, could pose a security risk—prompting China to halt exports.These chips aren't high-end processors; they're critical legacy semiconductors used in steering, lighting, and power systems.Toyota says it's stable “for now,” but rivals like Nissan report they only have enough chips to last through early November.The Alliance for Automotive Innovation warns that U.S. vehicle production could be disrupted as soon as next monthCDK's 2025 Dealership Workplace Study shows job satisfaction is rising and fewer employees plan to leave, but challenges around stress and long-term retention persist.Satisfaction jumped to 82%, up from 74% last year, while only 22% plan to leave in the next six months—down from 31%.Just 49% expect to stay at their dealership over the next 5-10 years, and only 26% would recommend auto retail as a career.“Dealerships that thrive will be the ones that listen, adapt and lead with empathy,” said CDK VP Bruce Johnson.A new study by researchers Huggland and Okumus reveals how Gen Z's travel habits and expectations are reshaping the guest experience. Their feedback from a 3-year mystery shopping study shows where hotels need to step up—and fast.Gen Z travelers prioritize convenience, safety, and intuitive tech over traditional brand loyalty.Digital check-ins, intuitive room controls, and reliable Wi-Fi aren't perks—they're baseline expectations.“Sometimes the little things can mean a lot,” said one Gen Z traveler. “We want crystal clear instructions and not have to ask for help.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:45 The halloween costumes around the office today2:53 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with Foureyes3:20 The Nexperia Chip Crisis5:44 CDK's Dealership Employee Satisfaction Rises to 84%9:20 What Gen Z Is Saying About HospitalityJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

How to Automate Payroll Review and Prevent Costly Mistakes: Insights from Yuval Brot, CEO of CeleryPayroll is one of the most complex and error-prone functions in any business, yet it's critical to get it right every time. In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Yuval Brot, Co-Founder and CEO of Celery, to explore how automation is reshaping payroll management. Yuval discusses how Celery helps organizations detect payroll errors before they happen, improving accuracy, compliance, and financial efficiency for teams of all sizes.The Future of Payroll: Why Automation MattersYuval explains that manual payroll review processes are highly inefficient and often lead to costly mistakes. As businesses grow, the sheer volume of data—from hourly time entries to overtime calculations—makes manual review nearly impossible to manage effectively. Payroll errors not only drain revenue but also damage employee trust and morale, making accuracy a critical part of organizational health.Celery's automation technology scans payroll data in seconds, flagging potential issues such as duplicate payments, incorrect tax calculations, or inconsistencies in hours worked. Instead of reviewing every entry, HR and finance teams can focus on the exceptions that matter most. This dramatically reduces time spent on reviews while improving compliance and peace of mind.Beyond efficiency, Yuval highlights the human side of payroll automation. When payroll runs smoothly, employees get paid correctly and on time, and leaders can focus on strategic growth rather than damage control. Automation isn't just about technology—it's about creating trust, stability, and long-term financial sustainability across the organization.About Yuval BrotYuval Brot is the Co-Founder and CEO of Celery, a financial technology company dedicated to transforming how businesses manage payroll review and compliance. With years of experience in finance and data analytics, Yuval helps companies automate error detection, reduce payroll risk, and build smarter, more efficient operations.About CeleryCelery is an AI-powered platform that automates payroll review, helping organizations prevent costly errors before payments are processed. Designed to work with existing payroll systems, Celery identifies anomalies, detects potential fraud, and streamlines financial controls for growing businesses. Learn more at www.celeryway.com.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeYuval Brot on LinkedInCelery WebsiteKey Episode HighlightsThe biggest risks in payroll come from manual data entry and time tracking errors.Why automation is essential for scaling accurate and compliant payroll systems.How Celery flags anomalies in seconds, saving finance teams hours of review time.The financial and cultural impact of preventing payroll mistakes before they happen.The future of AI in finance and how Celery plans to expand automation into broader financial controls.ConclusionYuval Brot's insights reveal that payroll accuracy isn't just about compliance—it's about trust, culture, and financial stewardship. By leveraging automation, businesses can eliminate costly errors, safeguard employee confidence, and free up resources to focus on growth. Whether you manage payroll in-house or through a provider, automation tools like Celery make it possible to review with precision and...
What if we stopped investing like bystanders and started investing like owners and “neighbors” in the story of our finances?When you invest like an owner, our portfolios can reflect faithful stewardship and create real-world impact. Robin John joins us today to share practical ways to move from passive investing to purposeful ownership.Robin John is co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Eventide Asset Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. He's also the author of the book, The Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World.Investing vs. SpeculatingMany people confuse investing with speculating. Speculating—like day trading—is often no different than gambling. It's focused on short-term gains, trying to predict what the market will do tomorrow. But investing is about ownership. When you buy a stock, you're buying a piece of a company. You become a co-owner.That means your money is participating in real work—serving customers, employing people, and creating products that impact lives. As Christians, we should invest in companies we believe are doing good for the world, not just generating profits.Speculation is reactive and anxious. Investing, when done faithfully, allows us to rest in the knowledge that our capital is working toward purposes aligned with God's design for flourishing.The Responsibility of OwnershipOwnership changes everything. It confers ethical responsibility.If you owned a neighborhood store, you'd care deeply about how it serves your community, treats employees, and impacts the environment. In the same way, being a shareholder means you share in both the profits and the moral implications of what that company does.That's why Eventide Asset Management believes that Christians must think like owners, not traders. Ownership means engaging thoughtfully with the companies we invest in—voting proxies, engaging in dialogue with management, and ensuring that our capital is stewarded with integrity. Our investing isn't just about earning; it's about embodying our faith in the marketplace.Why Passive Investing Deserves a Closer LookIn recent years, many investors have turned to index funds or “passive” strategies. While these offer simplicity and diversification, I believe we should pause and ask: What are we actually owning?As Christians, we can't do anything passively—not even investing. Romans 12:2 calls us to avoid conforming to the patterns of this world, to renew our minds, and to discern what is good. That means we can't blindly invest in every company just because it's part of a market index.Do we really want to profit from industries like pornography, abortion, gambling, or tobacco? Our calling is to pursue good profits—profits that come from serving others and honoring God.To meet that need, Eventide has created systematic ETFs—investment funds that provide broad market exposure while intentionally excluding harmful industries. They're designed for believers who want to participate in the market without compromising biblical conviction.The Neighbor Map: Loving People Through InvestingIn his book, The Good Investor, Robin shares something he calls the Neighbor Map—a framework that helps us see all the “neighbors” affected by a business.God's command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19) isn't abstract. It applies to the business world. At Eventide, they have identified six key neighbors every company should serve:Customers – Are the company's products truly good for those who use them?Employees – Are they treated with dignity, fairness, and care?Suppliers – Are business relationships ethical and respectful?Communities – Does the company create meaningful jobs and contribute positively to local life?The Environment – Is creation being stewarded well? Caring for creation is one of the most direct ways to love the poor, because it's the poor who suffer most from pollution and neglect.Society – Is the company contributing to the flourishing of the broader culture?Faithful investing isn't only about avoiding harm—it's also about embracing good. When we invest in companies that love their neighbors well, we participate in God's ongoing work of restoration.As investors, we're not distant spectators. We're partners. At Eventide, they engage directly with the companies we invest in—raising concerns, asking hard questions, and encouraging leadership to act with wisdom and compassion.Their goal isn't confrontation—it's collaboration. Whether it's addressing supply chain ethics, employee safety, or corporate philanthropy, we approach these conversations as co-owners who want to see good companies become even better.Clarity for Every Christian InvestorMany believers are unaware of what their money supports. That's why the team at Eventide created GoodInvestor.com—a free tool that allows you to screen your portfolio and see exactly what you're investing in. You can also connect with advisors who understand faith-based investing and can help you align your portfolio with your convictions.We hope that Christians everywhere would invest with joy, clarity, and confidence—knowing that their capital is serving God's purposes in the world. When we invest, we're not just moving money—we're shaping the world. Every dollar we deploy carries moral and spiritual weight.Our prayer is that more believers would see investing as a form of worship—a way to love God and neighbor through the stewardship of capital. Together, we can build a world that rejoices, where profits are good, people are valued, and creation is honored.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Back in 2010, my parents set up a life estate warranty deed for their home, adding my siblings and me to the deed. My mom passed away eight years ago, and my dad passed in December 2024. We're preparing to sell the house now, but I keep hearing that we need to use a “life expectancy table” to calculate the home's value for capital gains or losses. Can you explain how that works and what steps we'll need to take for the taxes?I've saved up three months' worth of income—about $2,300 in total—and I still owe around $500 on a HELOC and another $500 on a credit card with interest rates of about 7% and 8.9%. My question is: Should I treat my savings separately from my three-month emergency fund? For example, if something unexpected happens—like a car repair—I don't want to touch my emergency fund. Is there a certain percentage or guideline for how much should be in an emergency fund versus regular savings?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World by Robin C.

By Adam Turteltaub Employees may trust an AI chatbot more than they trust you, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, if it leads to more reporting. In this podcast, Debbie Sabatini Hennelly, Founder & President of Resiliti shares that a recent survey conducted by CaseIQ reveals that nearly 70% of respondents expressed no concerns about AI being involved in the helpline process. This openness is driven by several key factors: increased anonymity, ease of use, and a perception that AI offers a fairer, more impartial experience than speaking directly with a human. These findings underscore a broader theme that continues to emerge in conversations about helplines: trust. Employees are more likely to report concerns or misconduct when they trust the system—when they believe their information will be handled confidentially, their identity protected, and their report taken seriously. Not surprisingly, they also want to understand how their information is being used and how their anonymity is being safeguarded. This is especially important when helplines are outsourced to third-party vendors. Communicating clearly that the helpline is external—and therefore more secure and impartial—can go a long way in building trust. But transparency doesn't stop there. Employees also want to know what happens after they make a report. What's the process? What can they expect next? Setting clear expectations and following through with updates helps reinforce that the organization is responsive and serious about addressing concerns. It's not enough to share this information only once a year during compliance training, she warns. Employees are constantly bombarded with messages and unless helpline communication is consistent and visible, it risks being forgotten or ignored. Still, even with those reminders, barriers remain, especially fear of retaliation. Organizations must address this head-on. First, there must be a clear, well-communicated prohibition against retaliation. But more importantly, leaders need to understand that retaliation isn't always overt. It can be subtle—being passed over for key assignments, being excluded from team activities, or receiving the cold shoulder from colleagues. Creating a culture where employees feel safe to speak up starts with leadership. Managers and executives must model the right behaviors, reinforce anti-retaliation policies, and foster an environment where concerns are welcomed, not punished. One of the most critical—and often overlooked—elements of a successful helpline program is training leaders on how to respond when a report is made. Too often, well-meaning managers try to “get to the bottom of it” themselves. But when they start asking who reported what or conducting their own informal investigations, they can unintentionally obstruct the formal process and make employees feel unsafe. A favorite tactic of hers for addressing this is to ask persistent leaders: “Do you want to be a witness and be deposed?” It's a powerful reminder that involvement in an investigation has consequences—and that the best way to support the process is to let it unfold professionally and confidentially. Listen in to learn more, and, hopefully, get employees to trust and speak-up more.
In episode 224, Coffey talks with Dr. Leslie Thomas about how artificial intelligence and the speed of change are reshaping hiring and workforce development.They discuss the evolving role of AI in HR and how it is redefining job design and required skill sets; the transition from traditional degree-based hiring to skills-based approaches that emphasize measurable competencies; how psychometrics supports objective and equitable testing and certification; the rise of microcredentials and modular certification programs that align with changing organizational needs; the implications of reduced reliance on four-year degrees and the expansion of alternative pathways to employment; the balance between automation and human adaptability as job roles evolve; methods for assessing durable “power skills” such as communication, collaboration, and leadership; and the importance of ensuring transparency, privacy, and bias mitigation in AI-assisted assessment and hiring systems.Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

Amazon announced today it will be cutting 14,000 corporate jobs, though leaker reports say the real number will be roughly 30,000 over time. The company itself says it needs to be more nimble to leverage AI technology when the timing and the target instead shows macroeconomic headwinds are behind the move. There is a reason why consumers believe the US economy is in recession right now. While layoffs like Amazon's remain relatively scarce, unemployment is piling up all over the place and so does the confirmation.

The Color of Money | Transformative Conversations for Wealth Building
When it comes to building wealth, most of us were never taught where to start—or how to make our money work harder than we do. In this episode, we sit down with financial advisor and community leader PJ Hill to learn how to move from surviving to scaling. He breaks down the steps from day one: build your emergency fund, set up retirement contributions, protect your family with simple term life insurance, and automate investments so wealth becomes a habit.We explore PJ's “four buckets” framework—business income, qualified accounts, non-qualified brokerage, and private markets—and how thinking like a family office can help us coordinate taxes, legal, insurance, and investments under one strategy. Along the way, PJ shares how his family uses insurance and governance to turn assets into opportunity. His message is clear: we all deserve wealth—it's time to build it intentionally, together.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow PJ Hill on Instagram: @Mr.PJHillLearn more about NorthRock Partners: northrockpartners.comRead The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J.

At some point in your career, you've probably worked with someone who is on the autism spectrum, but you might not have known. There are many misconceptions about autism, which damage how we understand and therefore support these colleagues. Viewing autism through a new lens can help every manager unlock hidden potential and design environments where everyone thrives.Today's guest brings both personal experience and professional insight to help us all better appreciate the talents of neurodiverse team members. Clain Udy is reshaping the way society views autism by shifting our perspectives from deficit-focused to one that sees autism through a strengths-based lens. As the father of a high-functioning autistic adult son, Clain has spent over two decades researching and investigating what it takes to help his son and other autistic individuals have successful, fulfilling careers.Clain's new book, Rebranding Autism: A Guide to Seeing Strength on the Spectrum, details his journey from initially thinking he had to “fix” his autistic son to wholeheartedly embracing his son's beautifully unique strengths.In this episode, we explore how autism shows up in the workplace, what managers often misunderstand about communication and performance, and practical ways to create environments where neurodiverse employees can do their best work.In the extended conversation, Clain shares how managers can better understand social communication preferences, why “chasing normal” harms both managers and employees, and how reframing autism as a different but equally valid way of processing the world changes everything about inclusion.Get FREE mini-episode guides with the big idea from the week's episode delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Join the conversation now!Conversation Topics(00:00) Introduction – Understanding how neurodivergent brains enrich the workplace(02:03) The hidden prevalence of autism in professional environments(04:38) Dispelling misconceptions and shifting from deficit-based thinking(07:16) Recognizing the strengths of autistic individuals(12:34) Adapting environments for sensory and cognitive needs(13:43) Communication strategies that support neurodivergent team members(20:12) Strength-based management and inclusive leadership(25:14) Real stories of inclusive managers in action(29:18) [Extended Episode Only] Building authentic relationships with neurodivergent employees(34:54) [Extended Episode Only] Designing communication to meet different social needs

Creating an Actionable Customer-Centric Company Culture Shep interviews Sean Crichton-Browne, co-founder of Market Culture and co-author of The Human Culture Imperative. He talks about how organizations can drive business success by focusing on building a customer-centric culture of empowered employees. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: What's more important, happy customers or happy employees? How does starting with the end goal of happy customers encourage better customer service? What role does leadership play in creating a strong culture of customer-centricity? How can a company's internal culture directly impact the quality of the customer experience? How does employee engagement influence customer loyalty and retention? Top Takeaways: Whenever you're working to improve customer experience, it helps to begin by picturing how you want your customers to feel at the end. Imagine what you want the customer's experience to be. Work backward from your goal, which is happy and loyal customers, and figure out what is needed at every level of the organization to achieve it. Happy employees create happy customers, but flipping this idea on its head can create great results for your organization as well. Making customers happy can actually make employees feel better about where they work. It leads to a better work environment that motivates and engages employees. When customers are satisfied with the product or service, employees don't have to respond to as many complaints or stressful situations, which makes their jobs more enjoyable and fulfilling. Happy customers often give positive feedback, creating a sense of pride for everyone on the team and encouraging even better service. Listen to your customers. Ask them what they want and what's important to them. When you focus on understanding and meeting those needs, you create a connection between leadership, employees, and customers. Empowering employees, especially those who deal directly with customers, improves the customer experience. When staff can act quickly to solve issues or offer solutions, without always needing a manager's okay, problems get fixed faster, and customers feel seen, heard, and valued. The stories told inside a company, whether big or small, have a lasting impact on culture. When employees hear about coworkers going the extra mile for customers or leaders making decisions that put customers first, they inspire similar behavior that can be operationalized for consistency. Plus, Sean shares more "golden nuggets" from his latest book, The Human Culture Imperative. Tune in! Quote: "Put the customer at the center of the business and focus on their satisfaction. Because if we don't have a customer, we don't actually have a business."
