Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we're joined by Eric Karofsky, an award-winning expert in customer experience (CX), user experience (UX), and employee engagement, and the founder of VectorHX, a human experience agency. Eric shares his professional journey—from decades in agency and consultancy work with major brands like Michelin and Royal Caribbean, to leading UX at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and now building his own company focused on creating seamless customer interactions across digital and physical touchpoints.Eric discusses how AI is rapidly reshaping the customer experience landscape, emphasizing that it's a powerful tool—not a solution on its own. He shares both the promise and the current limitations of AI, particularly in customer support scenarios, likening poorly designed chatbots to frustrating call center loops from the 1980s.A major theme in the episode is understanding customer behavior through cultural, situational, and demographic lenses. Eric cautions against forcing users into preferred communication channels and instead advises companies to map the ideal journey for different personas and optimize each channel for a frictionless experience.He offers a powerful case study from the pharmaceutical industry, where AI is being used to transform labor-intensive literature reviews—cutting timelines from six months to potentially two weeks. This not only boosts business efficiency but also accelerates drug development, delivering life-saving treatments to patients faster.Eric also touches on:AI leadership and how it should drive business strategy by identifying areas for efficiency and innovation.Tools he can't live without, like Claude AI and Notion, which he uses to manage his business and ideas.His excitement about no-code tools like Bolt.new and Lovable, which allow rapid prototyping of full-stack apps without technical skills.The enduring value of classic books like Getting to Yes and The Design of Everyday Things, which shaped his thinking around negotiation and customer-centric design.The importance of motivation and resilience, fueled by the exciting pace of innovation and meaningful human connections with clients and team members.He closes with a favorite quote by Benjamin Franklin:"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." A reminder of the value of active learning and mentorship in building strong, collaborative teams.You'll leave this episode with fresh insights on CX, AI strategy, and how to build human-centered experiences in a rapidly evolving digital world.

With only raw materials, could you recreate a toaster? Now could you do it considering the source of your materials, the effect extracting them has on the world, along with the use and inevitable destruction of it. This episode's guest did just that. Starting with the extraction of the materials, including learning 15th century techniques for smelting, created a toaster. Reflecting upon that project in today's world, is the topic of this episode. Where we dive into the philosophy of design needing a refresh in todays world in order to live in better harmony with our reality. Thomas Thwaites, Artist and Designer, joins me for this conversation. Check out his website for all of his projects, his TED talk and the project he's currently working on, a harmless car.

The Journey Beyond Death continues with Part 9, diving into the extraordinary topic of After Death Communication. In this powerful episode, we explore how contact between the living and the spirit world is not only possible—but often happening in ways most people overlook: through dreams, symbols, synchronicities, and even cutting-edge technology. Featuring internationally renowned psychic mediums Lisa McGarrity and Joyce Keller, astrologer Constance Stellas, and tech visionary Robert LoCascio, this episode offers diverse insights into how the boundary between life and death is far more permeable than we imagine. Lisa McGarrity shares how departed loved ones often reach out with subtle signs—like feathers, birds, or coins—and explains how writing letters to the deceased or placing water near your bedside can invite dream encounters. Joyce Keller adds that while some souls transition easily, others may remain in a sleep-like state until they're ready to fully cross over. Both mediums emphasize that death is not a disappearance, but a transformation into a new, liberated form of existence. Astrologer Constance Stellas brings a deeper, cosmic lens to the conversation, showing how soul contracts, karmic patterns, and even death transitions are visible in a birth chart. And Robert LoCascio introduces Eternos, a groundbreaking AI platform designed to preserve human consciousness—allowing future generations to interact with digital avatars of loved ones long after their physical passing. ------------------------------ Featuring in order of appearance 03:00 - Psychic Medium Lisa McGarrity 14:53 - Psychic Medium Joyce Keller 37:03 - Astrologer Constance Stellas 48:44 - Robert LoCascio, CEO of Eternos ------------------------------ Lisa McGarrity – Psychic Medium Lisa McGarrity is a seasoned psychic medium with over 25 years of experience.

is back on the show and he is bringing decades of experiences as a journal editor.  So we decided we play a game of round robin where each of us is giving rules of what to do (or not to do) as an editor. How long can we sit on papers before we make decisions? On what basis should we offer revise and resubmit decisions? When is it okay to desk reject a paper? How many reviews are enough? So if you want to learn more about the different editorial superhuman powers and supervillain powers – this is your episode. Episode reading list Recker, J. (2020).

Everyday Things that Gross You Out

In this short podcast, I count down 10 routine everyday things that can surprisingly be triggers for epileptic seizures.

South African guitar virtuoso Derek Gripper plays music originally meant for the 21 stringed lute-harp, the kora, on his 6-string Segovia-styled guitar and does it so well that the world's leading guitarists and kora players keep wondering how one even does that. His original music is informed by kora masters Toumani Diabaté, Salif Keita, Estonian minimalist composer Arvo Part, Brazilian guitarist Egberto Gismonti and German Baroque innovator, J.S. Bach. Watch out, because he's about to collaborate with the Iraqi-American oud player and composer Rahim Alhaj. (Ed. note: just wait until the 11 or 13-strings of the oud and those maqams make it to the 6-string guitar in Gripper's hands!) For now, Gripper plays another unbelievable arrangement of a Malian kora song, as well as an original song informed by the cascading style of kora music, plus some of the second cello suite by J.S. Bach, in-studio. - Caryn HavlikSupplemental Reading: The Beauty of Everyday Things, In Search of Lost TimeSet list: 1. Alla L'a Ke 2. Moss on the Mountain 3. J.S.

Chinese plastic is cheap and abundant. It wasn't always. The ubiquity of plastic in twenty-first century consumer culture belies its past rarity and the many cultural meanings it has borne over time. How did plastic come to play such a central role in the economy of China? In her dissertation research Yaxi Liu, PhD candidate at the University of Oxford, reveals the story of plastic's introduction to the Chinese market and the varied political and cultural meanings assigned to plastic in China. The first plastic introduced to China was acrylic fiber. The technology transfer necessary derived from Britain and from Dupont in the USA. The state reserved for itself a monopoly on plastic production for decades, and the material gained a reputation for scarcity and luxury. Following the emergence of plastic recycling and secondary manufacturing in rural districts, the material came to be associated with cheapness and low status. The Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society supports research in the Hagley Museum and Library collections with grants and fellowships.

Common objects hide secret purposes not many people know about. Look around – even in the comfort of your own home – you've got plenty of new things to discover! Being surrounded by so many products and services nowadays, we might not even think that they have unexpected features. Sometimes we even use many things in the wrong way, even though the designers actually planned something different for their inventions. For example, the blue and red parts of the eraser aren't for pen and pencil. The red side rubs the pencil particles out of the paper, while the blue side is stiffer and scrubs off a thin layer from the paper itself. Isn't it exciting when ordinary things turn out to be completely unusual?

In this conversation, we discuss the upcoming holidays, easy ways to feed all the people when they come home, and a silly new tradition that involves costumes.  We marvel over how the Lord is bringing revival through our college athletes and reflect on how God prepares us for each new season.  Fran reminds us why it's important to consider the definition of leadership and provides a great question to ask potential employers.  Then Angela shares Colossians 3:12 and the spiritual lesson she learned the hard way (it's a good thing the word “remember” appears 8670 times in scripture because we are so prone to forget!)  This is classic rambling at its finest, and we hope it puts a smile on your face as you listen!   If you want to learn more about Union University, check out the website www.uu.edu or email Fran at fthomas@uu.edu - we also have a fee waiver fee if you plan to apply!  Simply use the word TALK on the application.
