Our guest in this episode is Ali Hafizji, the CEO of Wednesday Solutions, who joins us from Pune, India. He's on a critical mission to steer startup founders away from the chaos and waste that often plagues their journey, offering them a clear, systematic path to success. In our chat, Ali Hafizji breaks down the fundamental mindset shift that separates a struggling project from a thriving business: the transition from being a "builder" to becoming a true "business owner." Ali provides a clear framework for founders to escape the dreaded "build trap" and focus on the activities that genuinely move the needle. Key points discussed include:* Make the critical shift from passionately building a product to strategically owning the entire business.* Your new job isn't coding; it's marketing, sales, fundraising, and gathering crucial market insights.* Leverage AI for incredible speed, but always guide it with uniquely human judgment and strategic focus.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Ali has a critical and incredibly timely mission: to help founders avoid the pain, waste, and chaos that so often derails promising startups. He provides a wonderfully systematic and clear path for entrepreneurs to move from a compelling Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to that all-important Product-Market Fit, and he does it with a logic that cuts right through the emotional turmoil of the founder's journey.Our conversation was a deep dive into the fundamental mindset shift required to build not just a product, but a sustainable business. Ali's insights felt like a much-needed dose of clarity in a startup world that is often filled with noise and distractions. He's on a mission to help founders cross the chasm from being passionate builders to becoming strategic business owners, a distinction that is truly at the heart of success.The Critical Divide: Are You a Builder or a Business Owner?The most powerful idea Ali Hafizji shared was the distinction between acting like a "builder" and thinking like a "business owner". So many founders start because they have personally experienced a problem and have the vision to build a digital solution for it. This is a fantastic starting point, but it's also a trap. They get their MVP built, show it to a few people, and then get stuck in a perpetual cycle of building.As Ali explained, their day-to-day becomes about micromanaging features and tweaking the product, not growing the business. They are acting like builders, not owners. This crucial difference in mindset is often what separates a promising project that fizzles out from a company that achieves real traction and makes a lasting impact.Escaping the "Build Trap": When Your Day-to-Day Doesn't Move the NeedleThis builder mindset leads directly to what Ali calls the "build trap". You get feedback, you add a feature. You talk to a user, you tweak the interface. You're constantly busy, your team is shipping code, but the core business metrics aren't changing. You feel like you're working incredibly hard, but as Ali puts it, you're just not "moving the needle".The litmus test he offered was profound in its simplicity: if you realize that no matter what you do, things aren't fundamentally changing, you probably need to change first. It's a sign that you must stop focusing all your energy on the product itself and transform your own role within the company.The Founder's New Job: A Four-Point Mission for GrowthSo, what does that new role look like? Ali laid out a new job description for the post-MVP founder, one centered on four key activities: marketing, sales, fundraising, and gathering insights. The founder's primary job is to be the external voice and vision for the company, interacting with the market, customers, and investors.This means handing over the day-to-day building to a team you trust, whether it's an in-house team or a partner. That team's job is to convert the rich insights you're gathering into a digital offering. This shift is a massive change, moving from the comfort of building to the challenging, but essential, work of business development.AI as the Enabler, Not the Answer: Building with True VelocityIn today's world, it's easier than ever to build something, thanks in large part to AI. Ali is a huge proponent of using AI, but in a very specific, strategic way. He sees it as a powerful enabler to get your MVP off the ground and to supercharge your engineering team, allowing a small "pod" to achieve twice the outcome.However, he was quick to point out that true velocity isn't just about speed; it's a combination of speed and direction. AI can provide the speed, but the direction must come from the human insights gathered by the founder. An AI-enabled team is powerful, but they are still relying on the founder's strategic guidance to ensure they are building the right thing.The Human Advantage: Why Saying "No" is Your Most Important SkillThis brought us to the crucial human element. With the ability to build things so quickly, the temptation to add every bell and whistle is stronger than ever. Ali argued that the most important advantage a human-led team has is the ability to say "no." It's about having the focus and judgment to decide what not to build.He used brilliant examples, like Instagram focusing solely on its iOS app for the longest time, or Snapchat starting with a single, simple feature. This disciplined focus is only possible through a consultative, back-and-forth conversation between the founder and the team, constantly asking the tough questions: "What business metric is this going to move?" That judgment is something AI can't replicate.Conclusion: Stop Listening to the Chaos and Start BuildingAli's message is ultimately one of empowerment. We are in an age where the tools to bring an idea to life are more accessible than ever. His final call to action was simple: "now is the time to build". But that encouragement comes with a critical piece of wisdom.You must start with the awareness that the goal isn't just to build a product, but to build a business. Be prepared to make that difficult but necessary transition from builder to business owner. Stop listening to the chaos, focus on what truly matters, and you'll be on the right path to turning your vision into a viable, impactful company.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Ali's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships: Using an AI tool that helps you take interviews better by nudging you to look at the camera and build a genuine connection.Best thing to integrate AI and human connection: Actively avoiding the use of AI for human connection to maintain authenticity, as AI-generated text often feels like fluff.Differentiate by leveraging AI: Focus on authentic video for marketing, as text is now commoditized and video offers a less noisy, more human platform.ActionIf you are thinking about building a business, now is the time to start. Use the tools all around you to build whatever you plan, as you don't need a lot of external help to get started.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Ali via the Wednesday Solutions website or by connecting with him on LinkedIn.Links:* Website - Wednesday Solutions* LinkedIn* Twitter - @wednesdaysol* Instagram - @wednesday.solCool Things About Ali* He is a "Founder Pain-Killer": Ali hasn't just built another software company. He has systematically designed a business model around a core philosophy: to prevent the specific pain, chaos, and waste he has witnessed kill so many startups. He is not just selling a service; he is selling a well-engineered antidote to a common business disease.* He is a Unicorn Whisperer: Having worked with over 10% of India's unicorn companies, Ali possesses a rare and valuable perspective. He has had a front-row seat to hyper-growth, giving him an extraordinary understanding of the patterns that separate the wildly successful from the rest, especially during their chaotic and vulnerable early stages.* He is a Pragmatic AI Pioneer: While many leaders talk about AI in abstract or future-tense terms, Ali is a true early adopter who has been using it in the trenches for years. He treats AI not as a buzzword, but as a practical, integrated "force multiplier" that is a fundamental part of his company's daily operations.Ready to move beyond just creating content and start creating real connection?In the Age of AI, the future belongs to those who can amplify human wisdom.

Aplikasi Pasar Kolaboraya hadir sebagai platform digital inovatif yang memfasilitasi kolaborasi dan interaksi antar peserta melalui empat tahapan utama yang terstruktur. Mari kita telusuri secara mendalam bagaimana aplikasi ini bekerja untuk menciptakan ekosistem kolaborasi yang efektif. Tahap pertama dimulai dengan proses Bergabung, yang mencakup pendaftaran dan profiling. Setiap peserta yang telah diterima akan mendapatkan tautan khusus untuk mengunduh dan mengakses aplikasi. Proses login dilakukan menggunakan kredensial yang telah diberikan sebelumnya. Setelah berhasil masuk, peserta akan mengisi profil diri mereka melalui formulir digital yang dilengkapi dengan panduan step-by-step yang komprehensif. Sistem dilengkapi dengan indikator progres yang menunjukkan seberapa lengkap data yang telah diisi, misalnya "3/5 data terisi", untuk memotivasi peserta menyelesaikan pengisian data secara menyeluruh. Dalam tahap awal ini, peserta juga akan menentukan peran mereka dalam ekosistem. Aplikasi menyediakan beberapa pilihan peran seperti Builder, Connector, Enabler, Funder, dan Advocate. Setiap peran dilengkapi dengan deskripsi detail melalui pop-up atau ikon informasi yang membantu peserta memahami tanggung jawab dan ekspektasi dari masing-masing peran. Peserta memiliki fleksibilitas untuk memilih satu atau lebih peran yang paling sesuai dengan profil dan minat mereka. Setelah semua data terisi lengkap, sistem akan melakukan validasi otomatis dan menghasilkan barcode unik yang terintegrasi dengan profil digital peserta, berfungsi sebagai tiket masuk sekaligus kartu nama digital di lokasi acara. Tahap kedua berfokus pada Koneksi, di mana aplikasi memfasilitasi pertemuan tatap muka menjadi jaringan digital yang terstruktur dan terukur. Ketika peserta memasuki lokasi acara, modul koneksi akan aktif secara otomatis. Di bagian tengah layar, terdapat tombol "Pindai Barcode" yang mengaktifkan kamera untuk memindai barcode peserta lain. Sistem menggunakan mekanisme permintaan dan persetujuan dua arah yang sophisticated - setelah memindai, layar akan menampilkan pop-up profil peserta yang dipindai dengan opsi untuk mengirim permintaan koneksi. Peserta yang menerima permintaan akan mendapatkan notifikasi in-app dan dapat melihat profil pemindai sebelum memutuskan untuk menerima atau menolak koneksi. Fitur unggulan pada tahap koneksi adalah dasbor real-time yang menampilkan statistik koneksi secara komprehensif. Peserta dapat melihat jumlah total koneksi mereka, analisis keragaman peran yang terhubung (misalnya "terhubung dengan 5 builder dan 3 funder"), serta visualisasi geografis yang menunjukkan persebaran koneksi berdasarkan kota atau daerah asal. Tahap ketiga membahas Kolaborasi, yang mentransformasikan koneksi menjadi kerja sama nyata dalam ekosistem. Aplikasi menyediakan galeri interaktif yang menampilkan 18-21 Ekosistem Perubahan Sosial, masing-masing dengan kartu profil yang mencakup nama, logo, dan tagar relevan seperti #Pendidikan, #Lingkungan, atau #Teknologi. Peserta dapat mengeksplorasi detail setiap ekosistem dan mengajukan diri untuk bergabung melalui sistem yang terintegrasi. Halaman detail ekosistem menyajikan informasi komprehensif yang mencakup visi dan misi, tantangan sistemik yang ingin dipecahkan, serta status dan kebutuhan spesifik ekosistem. Misalnya, ekosistem dapat mencantumkan kebutuhan seperti "Mencari data scientist atau jaringan dengan lembaga riset". Peserta dapat menawarkan kontribusi mereka melalui tombol "Saya Siap Berkontribusi" yang mengarah ke formulir detail kontribusi, di mana mereka dapat menspesifikasikan bentuk dukungan yang dapat diberikan, seperti "pembuatan prototipe digital selama 3 bulan". Tahap terakhir adalah Kolektif Aksi, yang memfasilitasi komitmen jangka panjang untuk proyek-proyek besar. Aplikasi menyediakan ruang virtual khusus untuk presentasi Ekosistem Raya - gabungan dari 3-4 ekosistem yang berkolaborasi. Dalam ruang ini, peserta dapat menyaksikan presentasi yang menjelaskan visi, target, dan rencana proyek besar yang akan dilaksanakan di tahun mendatang. Sistem dilengkapi dengan mekanisme komitmen yang memungkinkan peserta menyatakan dukungan mereka terhadap proyek yang dipresentasikan. Setelah acara berakhir, aplikasi secara otomatis menghasilkan laporan status kinerja personal yang dapat diakses melalui dasbor pribadi. Laporan ini terbagi menjadi tiga kategori utama: Laporan Koneksi, Laporan Kolaborasi, dan Laporan Kolektif Aksi. Setiap kategori memberikan visualisasi data yang jelas dan terukur. Laporan Koneksi menampilkan grafik atau bagan lingkaran yang mengindikasikan performa networking peserta dengan status Baik atau Buruk, disertai statistik detail seperti jumlah total koneksi, persentase koneksi berdasarkan peran, dan jangkauan geografis koneksi. Laporan Kolaborasi menunjukkan status Kuat atau Lemah berdasarkan interaksi di Tahap 3, termasuk data jumlah proposal kolaborasi yang diajukan dan diterima, serta deskripsi sumber daya yang dibagikan. Sementara itu, Laporan Kolektif Aksi memvisualisasikan status Besar atau Kecil berdasarkan tingkat partisipasi dalam proyek-proyek kolektif, termasuk jumlah komitmen proyek dan peran yang diambil. Dengan alur yang terstruktur dan fitur-fitur interaktif yang komprehensif ini, Aplikasi Pasar Kolaboraya berhasil menciptakan platform yang memungkinkan peserta untuk membangun koneksi bermakna, berkolaborasi dalam proyek-proyek impactful, dan berkontribusi pada perubahan sosial yang berkelanjutan. Sistem pelaporan yang terukur juga membantu peserta memahami dan mengevaluasi kontribusi mereka dalam ekosistem kolaborasi ini.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-eleventh episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Marc Howle, the Brigade Senior Engineer / Protection Observer-Coach-Trainer, and MAJ David Pfaltzgraff, BDE S-3 Operations OCT, from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are MAJ Steven Yates, the BDE S-6 Signal OCT from Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) and SFC Daniel Pippin, the BN S-6 Signal NCOIC from the 1-509th IN (ABN) Opposing Force.   This episode of The Crucible centers on the challenges of command and control (C2) integration and the employment of enablers within brigade combat teams (BCTs) at JRTC. The discussion highlights recurring issues with overcomplicated signal plans, inadequate COMSEC readiness, and a persistent lack of basic communications skills across maneuver formations. Despite widespread fielding of advanced systems like ITN, many units arrive without validated PACE plans or shared understanding of how to communicate across formations and enabler teams. A key friction point is the failure to execute realistic COMEX and VALEX rehearsals, which often leads to failure in establishing a functioning network prior to movement into the box. When soldiers can't log into CPCE or MAVEN or don't know how to employ SATCOM or FM, the entire C2 enterprise falters before first contact.   The episode also stresses the importance of simplifying communications, cross-training non-signal personnel, and involving maneuver leaders in signal planning. A lack of distributed competence creates overreliance on limited 25-series personnel. The team praises aviation's model of integrating comms training into pilot academics and encourages similar investments at the BCT level—where every Soldier using a radio must understand its function and limitations. Integration of enablers—particularly aviation, foreign partners, and multi-echelon elements like MEC teams—demands proactive coordination well before RSOI. The key takeaway: units that treat RSOI as part of the operations process, not just an administrative requirement, set the conditions for success. C2 must be validated with full mission threads—sensor-to-shooter, PED, and digital fires—before rolling into the box. Anything less risks operational paralysis in the first 48 hours.   Part of S13 “Hip Pocket Training” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Fan Mail Me BrrrruuuuunnndenSomething stinks about the Ghislaine Maxwell case, and we're not afraid to say it. From her curious transfer to a "cream puff prison" in Bryan, Texas, to the undocumented special meeting with Todd Blanche, the whole situation reeks of privilege and protection.We tackle the elephant in the room – is Maxwell being set up for a pardon? And if so, what does that tell us about justice in America? The pattern is disturbing: people connected to the Epstein case dying of "brief illnesses," records disappearing, and powerful figures seemingly untouched by scandal. While playing devil's advocate, we ask the uncomfortable question: what if she didn't know anything? How can we be certain of anything when media narratives shape our understanding?The conversation takes unexpected turns as we explore how money and connections create different justice systems for different people. Bill Clinton's past indiscretions, mysterious deaths surrounding the case, and the possibility that this entire media circus serves as distraction from something even bigger – it's all on the table. We don't claim to have all the answers, but we're asking questions that deserve attention.Beyond the conspiracy theories lies a fundamental truth about power and accountability. When the wealthy and connected play by different rules, public trust erodes. Whether Maxwell receives a pardon or serves her sentence, her case reveals uncomfortable truths about how justice functions in America. Listen in as we attempt to separate fact from fiction in this tangled web of power, privilege, and possible criminality.Have thoughts on the Maxwell case or suggestions for future topics?

Dive deep into the transformative power of AI in India's consumer app landscape. In this episode of Zero to Infinity, Avnish Bajaj, Chandrasekhar Venugopal aka CV, and Kishan Kashyap break down:  ✅ Why ChatGPT is AI's MS‑DOS moment and what comes after  ✅ How token costs dropped 1000x in a year (and why Sam Altman calls it the “new Moore's Law”)  ✅ The Disruptor–Digitizer–Enabler framework for founders building in consumer tech  ✅ Why QuickCommerce for “X” (fashion, pharma, events & more) is the next frontier  ✅ And why India's rails: UPI, Aadhaar, WhatsApp—mean everything is aligned for founders After tracing India's growing consumer instinct in Part 1, this segment explores what happens when that intuition meets AI and what gets reimagined when UX, infra, and distribution evolve together, not sequentially. Whether you're an early‑stage founder, an operator, or just AI‑curious, this conversation will spark ideas on what to build next.

In “CHAINge, AI, and the Future of Freight”, Joe Lynch and Bart De Muynck, an industry expert and thought leader with over 30 years of supply chain and logistics experience across the globe, discuss how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping the logistics landscape and what the future holds for global freight. About Bart A. De Muynck Bart De Muynck stands as an accomplished industry expert and thought leader, boasting over three decades of global supply chain and logistics experience. His distinguished career includes significant roles at major international companies such as EY, GE Capital, Penske Logistics, PepsiCo, and various tech firms. Notably, he spent eight years as a VP of Research at Gartner and recently served as Chief Industry Officer at project44. A highly sought-after speaker, Bart currently advises multiple companies and industry organizations in logistics. He chairs ASCM's CHAINge conference in Europe and North America, is the Vice Chair for Transformfest 2025, and is a member of the Forbes Technology Council, SCLA, WEF, and CSCMP's Executive Inner Circle. Born in Belgium, he now resides with his family in Texas, USA. Through Bart De Muynck LLC, he helps organizations navigate the complex technological landscape, tailoring solutions and mitigating challenges to drive operational efficiency and manage risk. His new thought leadership website, Better Supply Chains, curates high-quality content focused on leveraging technology to create more efficient, inclusive, and equitable supply chains, ultimately aiming for both better supply chains and improved individual lives. About Better Supply Chains Better Supply Chains is a new thought leadership website curated by former Gartner analyst and Industry Expert Bart De Muynck, with the primary goal of centralizing high-quality content designed to help companies significantly improve their supply chain operations. The platform is dedicated to enhancing connections by fostering networks that unite shippers, logistics service providers (LSPs), technology providers, and investors. Furthermore, it aims to empower commerce by delivering insightful information that enables businesses to refine and automate their trade processes. Crucially, Better Supply Chains also seeks to improve lives by examining the positive impacts of logistics technology (LogTech) on labor, talent development, and sustainability efforts within the industry. By actively highlighting how emerging technologies can be seamlessly integrated into supply chain organizations, processes, and people, the website strives to make supply chains more efficient, inclusive, and equitable, ultimately contributing to better operational outcomes and improved individual well-being. Key Takeaways: CHAINge, AI, and the Future of Freight In “CHAINge, AI, and the Future of Freight”, Joe Lynch and Bart De Muynck, an industry expert and thought leader with over 30 years of supply chain and logistics experience across the globe, discuss how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping the logistics landscape and what the future holds for global freight. AI as an Enabler, Not a Replacer: A central theme is that AI's true power in supply chains lies in augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it. Bart emphasizes that AI can automate mundane tasks, freeing up human workers for higher-value activities requiring critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, leading to increased productivity and improved decision-making. Focus on Practical AI Applications: The podcast will likely highlight that the effective implementation and absorption of existing technologies, particularly AI and advanced analytics, are the next big transformation in logistics. Bart's focus through "Better Supply Chains" is on practical, high-quality content that helps companies refine and automate their trade processes using proven technological solutions, not just speculative future tech. The Interconnectedness of Supply Chain Elements: Bart's extensive background and the mission of "Better Supply Chains" underscore the importance of fostering networks that unite shippers, logistics service providers (LSPs), technology providers, and investors. The "CHAINge" conference he chairs also emphasizes collaboration and interconnectivity to build more efficient and sustainable supply chains. Addressing Key Industry Challenges through Technology: The episode will touch upon how logistics technology (LogTech) can positively impact labor, talent development, and sustainability. Bart's work aims to integrate emerging technologies into supply chain organizations, processes, and people to create more efficient, inclusive, and equitable supply chains. Data Quality is Paramount for AI Success: Bart stresses that while data is the "unsung hero" in supply chain resilience and decision-making, the quality of that data is crucial. Bad or irrelevant data can be a "bad actor," highlighting the need for high-quality, real-time, and predictive insights to get ahead of disruptions. Building Resilient and Agile Supply Chains: Given Bart's expertise and the current landscape, the discussion will likely emphasize the need for supply chains to be agile and resilient in the face of geopolitical factors, trade disputes, and market uncertainties. Technology, including AI, plays a vital role in enhancing visibility, optimizing logistics, and improving decision-making in turbulent times. Investing in Talent Development alongside Technology: Bart believes that talent is a significant constraint in supply chains. The podcast will likely highlight the importance of not only embracing technology but also investing in talent development and fostering a culture of collaboration to fully leverage the transformative potential of AI and other innovations.

Wie gelingt der Wandel von manuellem Reporting zur echten Datendemokratie? Wie sieht ein moderner BI-Rollenmix in einem großen Handelsunternehmen aus? Und was passiert, wenn ein einziger Use Case plötzlich alle begeistern will? Darum geht es in dieser Folge von MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS mit Host Jonas Rashedi und Philip Rutkowski, Senior Business Consultant bei Tchibo. Philip gibt tiefe Einblicke in die Arbeit eines BI-Generalisten in einem Unternehmen, das seit Jahren auf ein zentrales, hochmodernes Data Mesh setzt – und dessen Datenabteilung mittlerweile über 60 Personen umfasst. Wir erfahren, wie zentrale Dashboards entstehen, welche Rolle GenAI in der Produktsuche spielt und warum ein Machine Learning Use Case direkt im Proof of Concept live gehen musste – weil der Hebel einfach zu groß war, um zu warten. Besonders eindrücklich ist ein Projekt mit dem Non-Food-Fachbereich: Hier wurde aus verstreuten Excel-Tabellen eine konsolidierte, datengestützte Sicht auf Sortimente, Kundenfeedback und Verkaufsperformance. Philip erzählt, wie aus Ideen konkrete Tools werden – und warum Datendemokratisierung nicht mit Technik beginnt, sondern mit Neugier. Zum Schluss geht es auch um Philip selbst: Wie er vom Java-Entwickler zum Datenarchitekten wurde, warum er sich als Enabler versteht – und warum gute Datenarbeit vor allem eines braucht: Menschen, die Brücken bauen können. MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS ist ein Projekt von BETTER THAN YOURS, der Marke für richtig gute Podcasts.

Is it time to rethink the phrase “energy transition”? Inspired by The Future of Commerce article on energy diversification, this episode examines the data behind our current global energy landscape—one where renewables are booming, but fossil fuel consumption is still growing.We break down why “diversification” better describes today's energy reality, where rising global demand is driving the growth of both clean and traditional energy sources. From the continued dominance of hydrocarbons in transportation and agriculture to the critical role of AI and cloud in managing energy complexity, we explore the evolving tech toolkit needed to power this multi-source future.What You'll Learn in This Episode:1. The Myth of a Simple Energy SwapRenewables now match coal in global capacity—but oil, gas, and coal usage is still risingOver 90% of new U.S. vehicles still burn hydrocarbons2. Energy Demand Isn't Shrinking—It's SurgingGlobal energy demand projected to rise up to 57% by 2050Fossil fuels still central to agriculture, aviation, and industrial materials3. Diversification, Not SubstitutionGrowth in energy sources is layered—not transitionalNew technologies are being added without phasing the old ones out (yet)4. Tech as the Enabler of Energy ComplexityCloud adoption in energy growing 20% annually through 2033Agentic AI supports autonomous decision-making, optimization, and asset management5. Managing the Infrastructure and OpportunityIntegrated digital systems enable predictive maintenance, reducing downtime up to 50%Repurposing old infrastructure (e.g., refineries to biofuels) is now viableReal-time analytics, ESG compliance tracking, and smart field ops are essential to competeKey Takeaways:“Energy transition” oversimplifies the global shift—“energy diversification” better reflects realityFossil fuel demand is still rising alongside renewables due to economic and agricultural needsManaging the complexity of diversified energy requires deep investment in cloud, AI, and analyticsCompanies must adapt old infrastructure while seizing new growth opportunities (e.g., biofuels, EV charging)Future-proofing the energy sector means thinking in layers, not just linesSubscribe to our podcast for expert insights on energy innovation, sustainable infrastructure, and digital transformation.

The path to hell they say is paved with good intentions.  Too often we make the mistake of enabling a loved one to continue to harbor destructive --even self destructive habits or patterns of behavior.  In this episode, Alvean and Doug talk about the ways in which our good intentions can result in the worst results for those we love. Enabling robs those we love of self determination, reinforces their bad habits, and shields them from the reality of their lives.  For more on this subject and a full transcript of this episode, click here: 67-Are you an Enabler?

Kevin Franke A Victim or an Enabler? FBI Expert Breaks It Down Was Kevin Franke just another victim in Ruby Franke's twisted world, or was he an enabler quietly standing by as the unthinkable happened? Hulu's Devil in the Family has reignited the debate, shifting the spotlight onto Kevin—her husband, the father of their children, and the man who claims he was left in the dark. But how does his body language, his words, and his behavior hold up under the scrutiny of a behavioral expert? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into the psychology behind Kevin Franke, Ruby Franke, and the disturbing dynamics that fueled this nightmare. Was Kevin merely manipulated, or was he complicit in his own passivity? And what role did Jodi Hildebrandt play in pushing an already dangerous ideology even further? With deep analysis of the LDS faith's influence, the power of manipulation, and the eerie similarities to past criminal cases, this episode unpacks the unsettling reality behind the Franke family scandal. So, was Kevin Franke just a tool in Ruby's grand design, or is there more to the story than meets the eye? #RubyFranke #KevinFranke #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #LDS #Manipulation #FBIAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Was Kevin merely manipulated, or was he complicit in his own passivity? And what role did Jodi Hildebrandt play in pushing an already dangerous ideology even further? With deep analysis of the LDS faith's influence, the power of manipulation, and the eerie similarities to past criminal cases, this episode unpacks the unsettling reality behind the Franke family scandal. So, was Kevin Franke just a tool in Ruby's grand design, or is there more to the story than meets the eye? #RubyFranke #KevinFranke #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #LDS #Manipulation #FBIAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we explore the future of work with Heather Jerrehian, diving into the impact of AI on the workforce and why talent viability is crucial for business agility. Heather challenges common misconceptions about AI, emphasising that rather than replacing human workers, AI can make work more human by taking over mundane tasks and allowing employees to focus on high-value, human-centric skills. These "power skills"—like creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence—will become even more essential as AI adoption grows. We also discuss how leaders can ease AI-related fears through effective change management and by actively involving employees in conversations about AI's role in their work. Heather highlights the importance of talent visibility, showing how understanding workforce capabilities can drive better business agility. Heather also cautions leaders to navigate common pitfalls, including the need for ethical AI governance and responsible implementation. Heathers message to leaders?

Avoiding tough conversations? Lean in, speak up, and make them count. Ever find yourself avoiding a tough conversation at work because, well…it's just easier? We get it. But what if leaning into discomfort could actually make things better—for you, your team, and your company? In this episode, Kim and Amy sit down with Amandeep (Aman) Kochar, CEO of Baker & Taylor, to talk about how he uses Radical Candor to break down barriers, build trust, and create a culture where feedback fuels growth instead of fear. Aman gets real about his own struggles—navigating leadership as an underrepresented executive, learning to lead with vulnerability, and shifting from pushing change to making space for it. From leading a 200-year-old company through transformation to rethinking power dynamics in leadership, he lays out why transparency matters, how to handle resistance without backing down, and why the best leaders don't just give feedback—they ask for it. The bottom line? Real change starts with real conversations. Ready to ditch the fear and lead with candor? Let's go. Get all of the show notes at RadicalCandor.com/podcast.

In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, the hosts welcomed Denise Murtha to discuss humanizing sales in an AI-driven world. Denise, an experienced sales leader and founder of Cellevator, shared insights on how sales teams can shift from transactional approaches to people-first strategies.1. The Pitfalls of AI in Sales Without Human TouchAI is increasingly integrated into sales, but many organizations fail to use it effectively.Some companies allow AI to fully automate interactions, leading to negative brand experiences because customers feel ignored.Others use AI alongside human reps but simply amplify ineffective strategies rather than making interactions more meaningful​.2. Reframing the Sales Mindset: From Selling to Problem-SolvingInstead of focusing on how to get buyers to purchase, sales teams should shift to how to help clients solve problems.Asking deep-level discovery questions uncovers the real pain points buyers are experiencing, rather than just addressing surface-level concerns​.Many buyers don't even fully understand the problems they're facing until a well-structured sales conversation brings clarity.3. How to Make Sales Outreach More HumanCold outreach often fails because it's overly transactional and impersonal.Denise recommends the 3-to-1 rule: Give three things of value before asking for something.Personalized messages that reference a prospect's interests, experiences, or company initiatives perform far better than generic sales pitches​.Instead of starting with, "Hi, I'm with X company and we do Y," try leading with a shared connection, mutual interest, or a helpful insight.4. Slow Down to Speed Up: The Case for Better Sales ConversationsMany sales teams believe they don't have time to engage in meaningful conversations.In reality, rushed processes lead to lower conversion rates.Denise emphasizes that slowing down actually increases sales velocity by making buyers feel heard and understood, resulting in stronger relationships and higher close rates​.This approach also reduces the high churn rates in sales teams, as reps feel more successful and engaged.5. AI as an Enabler, Not a ReplacementAI has its place, but should be used to assist salespeople, not replace them.AI can help analyze data, prioritize leads, and personalize outreach, but it cannot replace genuine human connection.Companies using AI to replace human interaction are simply scaling bad experiences faster​.Denise emphasized that humanizing sales is essential as buyers grow weary of automation and cold outreach. Success lies in building trust, asking deeper questions, and delivering value before making a request. In 2025, the key challenge will be balancing AI-driven efficiency with genuine human engagement. Sales teams that master this will achieve stronger pipelines, higher conversions, and better customer relationships.  Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!
