In this episode of the FutureCraft GTM Podcast, hosts Ken Roden and Erin Mills reunite with returning favorite Liza Adams to discuss the current state of AI adoption in marketing teams. Liza shares insights on why organizations are still struggling with the same human change management challenges from a year ago, despite significant advances in AI technology. The conversation covers practical frameworks for AI implementation, the power of digital twins, and Liza's approach to building hybrid human-AI marketing teams. The episode features Liza's live demonstration in our new Gladiator segment, where she transforms a dense marketing report into an interactive Jeopardy game using Claude Artifacts. Unpacking AI's Human Challenge Liza returns with a reality check: while AI tools have dramatically improved, the fundamental challenge remains human adoption and change management. She reveals how one marketing team successfully built a 45-person organization with 25 humans and 20 AI teammates, starting with simple custom GPTs and evolving into sophisticated cross-functional workflows. The Digital Twin Strategy: Liza demonstrates how creating AI versions of yourself and key executives can improve preparation, challenge thinking, and overcome unconscious bias while providing a safe learning environment for teams. The 80% Rule for Practical Implementation: Why "good enough" AI outputs that achieve 80-85% accuracy can transform productivity when combined with human oversight, as demonstrated by real-world examples like translation and localization workflows. Prompt Strategy Over Prompt Engineering: Liza explains why following prompt frameworks isn't enough—you need strategic thinking about what questions to ask and how to challenge AI outputs for better results. 00:00 Introduction and Balance Quote 00:22 Welcome Back to FutureCraft 01:28 Introducing Liza Adams 03:58 The Unchanged AI Adoption Challenge 06:30 Building Teams of 45 (25 Humans, 20 AI) 09:06 Digital Twin Framework and Implementation 17:34 The 80% Rule and Real ROI Examples 25:31 Prompt Strategy vs Prompt Engineering 26:02 Measuring AI Impact and ROI 28:21 Handling Hallucinations and Quality Control 32:50 Gladiator Segment: Live Jeopardy Game Creation 40:00 The Future of Marketing Jobs 47:49 Why Balance Beats EQ as the Critical Skill 51:09 Rapid Fire Questions and Wrap-Up Edited Transcript: Introduction: The Balance Between AI and Human Skills As AI democratizes IQ, EQ becomes increasingly important. Critical thinking and empathy are important, but I believe as marketers, balance is actually more important. Host Updates: Leveraging AI Workflows Ken Roden shares his approach to building better AI prompts by having full conversations with ChatGPT, exporting them to Word documents, then using that content to create more comprehensive prompts. This method resulted in more thorough market analysis with fewer edits required. Erin Mills discusses implementing agentic workflows using n8n to connect different APIs and build systems where AI tools communicate with each other. The key insight: break workflows down into steps rather than having one agent handle multiple complex tasks. Guest Introduction: Liza Adams on AI Adoption Challenges Liza Adams, the AI MarketBlazer, returns to discuss the current state of AI adoption in marketing teams. Despite significant technological advances, organizations still struggle with the same human change management challenges from a year ago. The Core Problem: Change Management Over Technology The main issue isn't about AI tools or innovation - teams can't simply be given ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity and be expected to maximize their potential. Marketing teams are being handed tools while leaders expect employees to figure out implementation themselves. People need to see themselves in AI use cases that apply to their specific jobs. Joint learning sessions where teams share what works and what doesn't are essential. The focus has over-pivoted to "what's the right tool" when it should be on helping people understand, leverage, and make real impact with AI. The AI Adoption Plateau Many organizations face an AI adoption plateau where early adopters have already implemented AI, but a large group struggles with implementation. Companies attempting to "go fully agentic" or completely redo workflows in AI are taking on too much at once. Success Story: The 45-Person Hybrid Team Liza shares a case study of a marketing team with 45 members: 25 humans and 20 AI teammates that humans built, trained, and now manage. They started with simple custom GPTs, beginning with digital twins. Digital Twin Strategy for AI Implementation Digital twins are custom GPTs trained on frameworks, thinking patterns, publicly available content, and personality assessments like Myers-Briggs. These aren't designed to mimic humans but to learn about them and find blind spots, challenge thinking patterns, and overcome unconscious bias. For executive preparation, team members use digital twins of leadership to anticipate questions, identify gaps in presentations, and prepare responses before important meetings. The progression: Simple digital twins → Function-specific GPTs (pitch deck builders, content ideators, campaign analyzers) → Chained workflows across multiple departments (marketing, sales, customer success). Prompt Strategy vs. Prompt Engineering Following prompt frameworks (GRACE: Goals, Role, Action, Context, Examples) isn't enough if the underlying thinking is basic. AI magnifies existing thinking quality - good or bad. Example: Instead of asking "How do I reduce churn?" ask "Can you challenge my assumption that this is a churn problem? Could this data indicate an upsell opportunity instead?" This transforms churn problems into potential revenue opportunities through different strategic thinking. The 80% Rule for Practical AI Implementation AI outputs achieving 80-85% accuracy can transform productivity when combined with human oversight. Example: A team reduced translation and localization costs from tens of thousands of dollars monthly to $20/month using custom GPTs for eight languages, with human review for the final 15-20%. Measuring AI ROI: Three Strategic Approaches Align with Strategic Initiatives: Connect AI projects to existing company strategic initiatives that already have budgets, resources, and executive attention. Focus on Biggest Pain Points: Target areas where teams will invest resources to solve problems - excessive agency costs, overworked teams, or poor quality processes. Leverage Trailblazers: Identify curious team members already building AI solutions and scale their successful implementations. Handling AI Hallucinations and Quality Control AI models hallucinate 30-80% of the time when used as question-and-answer machines for factual queries. Hallucinations are less common with strategic questions, scenario analysis, and brainstorming. Prevention strategies: Limit conversation length and dataset size to avoid context window limitations Use multiple AI models to cross-check outputs Implement confidence checking: Ask AI to rate confidence levels (low/medium/high), explain assumptions, and identify what additional information would increase confidence Live Demo: Claude Artifacts for Interactive Content Liza demonstrates transforming the 2025 State of Marketing AI report into an interactive Jeopardy game using Claude Artifacts. The process involves uploading a PDF, providing specific prompts for game creation, and generating functional code without technical skills. This "vibe coding" approach allows users to describe desired outcomes and have AI build interactive tools, calculators, dashboards, and training materials. Future of Marketing Jobs and Skills Emerging roles: AI guides, workflow orchestrators, human-AI team managers Disappearing roles: Language editors, basic researchers, repetitive design tasks Transforming roles: Most existing positions adapting to include AI collaboration Critical skill for the future: Balance Innovation with ethics Automation with human touch Personalization with transparency Balance may be more important than emotional intelligence as AI democratizes cognitive capabilities. Key Takeaways The Gladiator segment demonstrates how dense research reports can become engaging, interactive content without engineering resources. Making AI implementation fun helps teams stay balanced and avoid overwhelm. Success comes from starting with tiny AI wins rather than comprehensive strategies, focusing on human change management over tool selection, and building systems that augment rather than replace human creativity. This version removes the conversational back-and-forth while preserving all the searchable content people would look for when researching AI implementation, digital twins, prompt strategy, change management, and practical AI use cases.

Working Across Differences in Politics: "I can work with people, and still it goes back to what we were saying earlier. I can work with people and still disagree with them on things, but maybe I need to." - Scott SweitzerWe sit down with Scott Sweitzer—a longtime political consultant and entrepreneur whose journey bridges the worlds of politics and microbrewing. Scott shares how a simple night of beer tasting with friends led him to co-found a brewery, while continuing his 25-year career navigating the highs and lows of American politics.We talk about the powerful emotions that drive today's increasingly divided political arena, explore the complexities of building bridges across differences, and talk about how tribalism in both politics and everyday life can separate us—or bring us together. Scott also opens up about his approach to helping candidates connect authentically with voters through storytelling and reflects on the personal challenges of staying grounded and empathetic in a profession marked by skepticism and heated debate.Plus, we touch on the impact of social media, the importance of curiosity, and how skills from entrepreneurship and consulting translate to everyday relationships. Whether you're interested in leadership, emotional intelligence, or are just a curious soul, this conversation is packed with insights, laughs, and some practical advice—including a heartfelt reminder that failure is part of learning and growth.Here are our top three takeaways:Curiosity Opens Doors: Scott emphasized the power of asking questions and being curious, both for personal growth and bridging divides. Stepping outside our echo chambers and seeking different perspectives can reshape our understanding and foster empathy.Emotional Connection is Key: Whether it's a political campaign or launching a new product, Scott underscored the importance of building genuine emotional connections. People are far more likely to buy in—to ideas, products, or candidates—when they feel heard and understood.Failure is Part of the Process: Scott's advice for entrepreneurs? Be willing to fail—and most importantly, learn from those failures. Growth comes from trying, stumbling, reflecting, and trying again.Key Moments05:12 The Cost of Political Tribalism09:23 Purposeful Living and Community Impact11:40 Rethinking Affirmative Action Globally14:56 Value of Elected Officials18:00 U.S. Government's Poor Decision-Making23:21 Collaborating Despite Differences24:25 Familiarity Breeds Skepticism28:07 "Emotional Connection in Politics"32:03 Profound Insight on Bill Maher35:33 "Escaping Reality and Its Risks"38:45 "Power of Personal Testimony"41:06 Embrace Failure to Succeed44:31 Overlooking Self-Empathy's Importance48:07 The Challenges of Personal GrowthIn each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Hey friend ,in this episode I'm breaking down the three biggest pain points I see over and over again when it comes to raising the money you need to fund your mission. Whether you're a nonprofit CEO, ED, or development leader, these are the places where we often get stuck... but we don't have to stay stuck.Here's what we're diving into:Strategy That Actually Fits YouIt's not enough to copy what worked for another organization. I walk through how to develop a fundraising strategy that's aligned with your culture, your team, your values, and your capacity -not just what looks good on paper. Spoiler: if your org deeply values sustainability, don't expect an events-heavy model to work.Courage is the Difference MakerNo one talks about how much courage it takes to raise major gifts. To face rejection. To say no to donors who want to dictate your mission. To speak up when something's not working. Courage is the backbone of effective fundraising, and I'm sharing real stories -including my own failures - to help you build that muscle.Emotional Intelligence is Your Fundraising SuperpowerI used to say “relationships” were the third key, but I'm refining that: it's actually emotional intelligence (EQ). I break down the four components of EQ and why it's the number one indicator of fundraising success. You'll get a peek into the book I'm currently rereading (Emotional Intelligence 2.0), and how this work has changed the way I lead and raise money.Whether you're struggling with awkward board meetings, feeling stuck in fear, or wondering why your strategy just isn't landing - this one's for you.If you loved this episode or had a lightbulb moment, hit me up on LinkedIn and let me know.

Hello, star lovelies and welcome to an exciting episode of our recurring interview series! I love having the chance to talk with peers and powerful leaders embracing the New Era of spiritual, soul-led leadership!Today, powerhouse and Leadership Alchemist Candy Barone joins me for an inspiring conversation about intuitive leadership, navigating the chaos of the modern world, and harnessing the power of Human Design and astrology. They share expert insights, practical advice, and personal stories to help visionary leaders rise, adapt, and thrive as we enter a New Era.I'm so excited to dive in!Key TakeawaysEmbracing the "Chrysalis Goo": Navigating Liminal TimesOur current transition is sort-of a “chrysalis goo”—that uncomfortable, messy state between old structures and the emerging New Era.Grounding, self-regulation, and surrender are important during these rapidly shifting, uncertain times.Leaders are prompted to work on inner sovereignty: "We need to stabilize. We need to ground. And that means you individually need to learn your own ways to get so. Otherwise, you're already in a wobble."Human Design & Astrology for Soul-Led LeadersCandy explains the “great mutation” in Human Design, marking a shift from collective planning to the individualized “Sleeping Phoenix” energy by 2027.Kim explores how current and upcoming planetary movements, especially Uranus and Jupiter, influence intuitive abilities, communication, and emotional intelligence (“EQ”).They break down how to use these systems not as labels, but as empowering, practical frameworks for personal and professional evolution.The Rise of Intuitive and Emotional LeadershipCandy encourages embracing your clair senses—intuition, clear knowing, feeling, hearing—asserting, “You have more intuitive powers, because intuition is very much the opportunity right now.”New leadership is about teaching emotional regulation and leading from interdependence rather than codependence or power-over dynamics.Two Quotes to Remember“We need to learn how to grow up and own our stuff and own our emotions, because it's coming whether we want it to or not.” — Candy Barone“You were never meant to chase the timing. You are meant to become it.” — Kim WoodsAction Steps for ListenersReflect: Consider how the “chrysalis goo” or liminal space is showing up in your life. What old systems or beliefs are you called to release?Experiment: Try grounding tools like crystals, movement, or breathwork for emotional regulation when you feel ungrounded.Explore: Dive into your own human design or astrological birth chart for deeper insight into your soul's leadership blueprint.Embrace Intuition: Practice noticing when intuitive hits arise. Ask, “Is this mine?” and trust your body's wisdom as you navigate decisions.Support the Next Generation: Recognize and nurture unique gifts in children and the emerging leaders around you, fostering environments that encourage emotional intelligence.Connect & EngageLearn with Candy Barone: Discover free resources and human design tools at candybarone.com.Explore Kim Woods' New Book: Get “The New Era Millionaire” and join the author circle or accelerator via Kim Woods' website.Support the ShowIf this episode inspired you, please subscribe, rate, and review “The Strategic Oracle” on your favorite podcast platform.

"Often an actor will start a band once her or she is famous. However many actors start as musicians. Some saw great success. We have some surprising names this week."
Vanessa Druskat, organizational psychologist and professor at the University of New Hampshire, discusses team emotional intelligence (EI) as a predictor of sustained performance. Building on her foundational work with Daniel Goleman, Druskat focuses not on individual EQ, but on the group-level norms and practices that distinguish effective teams, particularly in complex, high-stakes environments. Druskat identifies three core team norms essential to cultivating group EI: mutual trust, constructive expression of emotions, and norms that support individual and group self-awareness. These are not “soft” ideals; they function as operational levers for managing conflict, decision-making quality, and adaptability. Key takeaways include: High-performing teams are not those without conflict, but those with processes for metabolizing conflict. Druskat emphasizes the role of emotional expression norms in allowing task-related disagreement while mitigating interpersonal friction. Leaders significantly influence team EI by modeling openness and emotional competence, but sustained performance requires that these behaviors be embedded in team norms, not reliant on individual charisma or authority. Team emotional intelligence predicts effectiveness beyond technical competence, especially when teams must adapt to ambiguity, pressure, or interdependence. Druskat cites multiple studies where team EI predicted performance outcomes more reliably than IQ or experience. Psychological safety is necessary but not sufficient. Teams with high EI create an environment where members not only feel safe but are also expected to monitor and manage the group's emotional climate. Organizations often undermine team EI unintentionally, through forced competition, misaligned incentives, or ignoring the emotional fallout of change. Druskat suggests that senior leaders regularly audit not just team outcomes, but the emotional processes behind them. This episode reframes emotional intelligence not as a personal trait but as an institutional capability with measurable consequences for execution, resilience, and organizational learning. The discussion is particularly relevant for senior professionals seeking to institutionalize performance through culture rather than control.

Think about the deep neurobiological connection happening in your brain as you walk into a room and encounter someone who lights up at your presence, and the fulfilling sensation of knowing that person is beaming from the inside out with only one message, “I am so glad to be with YOU!” Without relational joy, there is no relational intelligence. Instead, relational joy is the antidote to the numbing out of our hurried lives because you walk around with a sense of knowing you are seen and loved.As we continue season 5 on relational intelligence, Josh provides what he calls the “JOY STARTS framework”—four principles and corresponding practices spelling the word JOYS to jumpstart relational joy in your life and in the lives of those around you.

Triggers and Activators Are More Than Buzzwords: We clarify that “triggers” (or “activators”) are events that alter our nervous system, often deeply rooted in past traumas, not just everyday disappointments.In this conversation, Jeff shares a personal story about how traumatic events from our past, big or small, can leave lasting marks on our nervous system and influence our emotions well into the future. Our discussion takes a thoughtful look at how emotional intelligence (EQ) can help us navigate and manage these triggers, not by erasing them, but by developing new ways of thinking and responding.We emphasize the importance of curiosity instead of judgment when reflecting on emotional responses and describe how, just like updating outdated computer software, we can “upgrade” our mindsets and beliefs to function better in today's world.This episode offers practical strategies, a few laughs, and a poignant reminder that while working through our triggers takes effort and sometimes outside help, the journey is well worth it, and none of us has to go it alone. Whether you're looking to understand your own emotional responses or support someone else, there's something here for everyone looking to grow on their EQ journey.Here are 3 key takeaways for you:Triggers = Old Neural Pathways: Our emotional triggers are often rooted in past events that created neural pathways in our brains—think of it as “old software” that keeps running unless we update it through intentional effort and curiosity.EQ is a Learnable Tool: Emotional intelligence isn't a magic fix, but it's a powerful, learnable skill to help us recognize, understand, and slowly reprogram our responses to triggers. This process requires work, but that's where real growth happens.Curiosity Over Judgment: The first step to transforming our experience is curiosity, not blame. By exploring past emotions without judgment, we can identify which beliefs still serve us, and which need updating.Key Moments00:00 Trauma's Impact on the Brain03:59 Navigating Triggers with Emotional Intelligence07:12 Building New Neuroconnections11:53 Curiosity in Emotional Reflection13:28 "Rewire Thoughts, Question Core Beliefs"18:12 "Creating Space for Energy Renewal"21:38 "Simple Complexity of Auto Repair"23:41 "The Insidious Influence of Wealth"26:40 "What Happens When the Wizard's Power Fades?"30:28 Thinking, Fast vs. SlowIn each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

My guest this week is negotiation futurist, bestselling author, and top-ranked negotiation expert Tim Castle. Tim is the founder of Negotiators Edge Training Academy and author of “The Art of Negotiation” and “The Momentum Sales Model.” Tim shares his most effective approaches to high-stakes negotiation, focusing on value creation, building trust, and leveraging the Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). He also reveals his favorite negotiation tactics, including creating urgency, holding firm with clarity, and operating from a mindset of abundance (not needing the deal). We also discuss the critical role of planning, how AI tools can supercharge your preparation, and why emotional intelligence is every modern negotiator's secret weapon. Outline of This Episode [04:11] Understand BATNA to leverage deals by controlling emotions and fostering collaboration without appearing manipulative. [07:08] Be creative and clear in negotiation; hold firm on your value to persuade and influence effectively. [11:49] Use AI to research and prepare by understanding counterparts' backstories, challenges, and market trends. [14:48] Crystal is an AI tool that analyzes LinkedIn profiles to predict communication styles and offers tips for effective interaction. [17:58] Consistent integrity and champion-led negotiation empower internal advocates to overcome organizational hurdles and drive deals forward. [20:34] Guide clients through open questions to uncover pain points collaboratively, ensuring they buy into the process and solutions. [28:30] Value-based positioning and champion-led negotiation ensure long-term collaboration and significant value creation. [30:14] Strategy gets you in; tactics let you own the situation. Maintain a winning mindset to achieve the best outcomes. The Missing Link in Sales Success Strategies are the big-picture, macro gameplans: they define your end-goal, set your direction, and inform every subsequent decision. As Tim puts it, “Strategy is where you want to go, your desired outcome.” Maybe it's nurturing a long-term partnership, building a multi-phase offering, or expanding the pie in an integrative negotiation. Tactics, on the other hand, are your in-the-moment moves. They're the practical tools—like anchoring price, mirroring, labeling, or using the “give-get” concession model—that support your strategy and help you adapt as the conversation unfolds. The magic, Tim explains, happens when you intentionally align your tactics with your overarching strategy, rather than just reacting or trying to “win” the moment. The Heart of Effective Negotiation At the core of Tim's approach is the idea that negotiation isn't about extraction—it's about value creation. The whole goal of negotiation is about value creation, he emphasizes. Instead of distributive “win-lose” thinking, Tim advocates for integrative negotiation, which seeks to expand the pie and foster collaboration for mutual gain. Knowing your BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) is essential here. When you're clear on your alternatives, you can negotiate free from neediness and emotional intensity, giving you the space to truly listen, build trust, and co-create solutions with your counterpart. Trust-building is Tim's “single biggest competitive advantage” in an AI-driven world. Even as automation and scripts proliferate, genuine human connection and credibility remain irreplaceable. Tim's Favorite Tactics Tim shared his top tactics, each rooted in psychology and practical experience: Creating Urgency: By making your offer time-sensitive, you amplify its perceived value, countering commoditization and focusing the buyer's attention. Not Needing the Deal: When you approach negotiations from a place of abundance (thanks to a healthy sales funnel), you have the flexibility to be creative, collaborative, and less reactive, leading to better deals and relationships. Clarity and Holding Firm: Clearly communicating your value and holding firm helps set boundaries, project confidence, and persuade the buyer of your worth. Vision of the Future (Bonus): Focus on positive, long-term outcomes to keep the conversation optimistic and to reduce emotional tension. The Power of AI and Human EQ Preparation is a non-negotiable for high-stakes deals. Tim recommends leveraging AI to research your counterpart's background, understand market forces, and tailor your approach. Tools like DISC profiling—and platforms like Crystal Knows—can help you anticipate behavioral styles and communicate more effectively. Tim also emphasizes role-playing and exposure therapy as ways to build comfort and resilience when stakes (and emotions) run high. Ultimately, fusing AI with emotional intelligence (EQ) is a winning combination for modern negotiators.

How well can you adapt? Deal with the unknown, uncertain, uncomfortable, unfamiliar and unpredictable (all the 'uns')? According to Dr. Carlos Davidovich (MD), in terms of real-world function, success and survival, our ability to adapt (AQ), might even be more important than IQ and EQ (it's more renowned cousins - lol).

What does it mean to live—and lead—with intention? Shane sits down with his friend and Shopify President Harley Finkelstein to explore what happens when you treat every role in your life—father, husband, leader—as something you have to requalify for, every single year. Harley shares why stepping down as COO was the hardest decision of his life, how a simple family motto is shaping his daughters, and what it really takes to become a world-class storyteller. They also unpack AI's real advantage, the calendar system that keeps him honest, and the quiet force of standards that never get lowered. It's a candid look at ambition, identity, and the challenge of holding yourself to a higher standard—everywhere it counts.
