Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke break down Adobe (ticker: ADBE), a leading software company providing end-to-end solutions for creative professionals, from design and creation to marketing and performance measurement.

Vi möter Peter Borgman, vd på JS Energi, som delar med sig av sin resa från e-handelspionjär till ledare för ett företag i framkant av energiomställningen. Vi pratar om nyckeltal, målstyrning och värderingsbaserat ledarskap – utan att tappa bort människan bakom siffrorna. Peter menar att KPI:er är som varningslampor: viktiga men inte allt. För att lyckas med scale-up krävs både tydliga mål och starka värderingar – men framför allt en djup nyfikenhet och vilja att vara steget före. Det blir ett samtal om tillit, mod och att våga fatta beslut bortom Excel. Tre viktigaste lärdomarna: 1️⃣ Mät det du kan påverka – inte det som ser snyggt ut i rapporten. 2️⃣ Värderingar fungerar först när de levs, inte när de hänger på väggen. 3️⃣ Intuition byggs av erfarenhet och information – våga använda den.

Tudor didn't even know what investment banking was until late sophomore year. By then, most students had already recruited and secured internships. But that didn't stop him. He used WSO Academy to stack multiple internships — from Big 4 roles in Romania to equity research and eventually, an investment banking internship in the U.S. In this chat, Tudor shares: How studying abroad at LSE sparked his finance interest The struggle of being a late starter from a non-target school How he overcame visa confusion and international challenges His exact strategy for networking, cold outreach, and internship stacking What finally helped him break into IB through an off-cycle boutique internship This is a must-watch if you're starting late or come from a non-target background. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amid the buzz of the AWS Summit in London, I sat down with Eiso Kant, the CTO and Co-Founder of Poolside, to explore how his team is reshaping the future of software development through AI. This conversation was recorded right on the show floor inside a surprisingly sleek podcast booth at the ExCel, where Eiso unpacked what sets Poolside apart in a space many claim to be in but few truly build for. Poolside is not just another AI company. It's one of a handful globally that is actually training foundation models from the ground up. While most firms are chasing general-purpose AI, Poolside has chosen a different path. They focus solely on empowering software developers inside high-consequence environments, such as banking, defense, and major global retailers. These are systems where precision and security matter, and where AI can drive measurable gains in productivity and reliability. What struck me during this discussion is how deliberately Poolside has been built for enterprise use from the start. Their model doesn't just live in the cloud. It is designed to live within the customer's own infrastructure, whether that's in their private AWS environment or even on-prem. This focus on data privacy, security, and customizability is helping Poolside win trust where it counts most. And the partnership with AWS takes this a step further, making it easier for enterprises to deploy Poolside's AI within existing cloud frameworks while meeting strict governance requirements. Eiso explained that Poolside doesn't just throw larger models at problems. Instead, they use reinforcement learning from code execution, training on millions of real codebases and test suites. This approach helps the model go beyond autocomplete and simple bug fixes. It's now stepping into longer, more complex tasks, nudging us closer to a future where AI could serve as a true teammate for software engineers. We also tackled one of the most important discussions in AI today: whether this is a cost-cutting tool or a productivity multiplier. Eiso didn't dodge the nuance. While some may use AI to reduce headcount, Poolside's focus is on enabling companies to build more, ship faster, and innovate with greater speed. That shift is not about replacing people. It's about creating leverage for development teams under pressure to deliver more in less time. If you're a CTO, CIO, or engineering leader, this episode is packed with practical insights. Whether it's understanding the ROI of AI-assisted development, the importance of retaining control of your own models, or how to think about enterprise-grade security in the age of LLMs, there's a lot here to digest. So how should we really be thinking about AI in the enterprise? Is it a partner, a tool, or the beginning of an entirely new workforce paradigm? Tune in to find out.

In this episode of the AppleVis Podcast, Gaurav returns with Lesson 7 in the ongoing series on mastering Numbers, Apple's free spreadsheet app for Mac.This lesson focuses on organizing data efficiently in Apple Numbers. Unlike Excel's single-grid layout, Numbers offers a more flexible, canvas-like approach where multiple tables can coexist on a single sheet. Gaurav demonstrates how to manage tables for different quarters of budget data, making it easier to structure and access your information.Key Concepts CoveredUnderstanding Tables in NumbersNumbers allows multiple tables per sheet, treating each sheet as a flexible workspaceDistinct from Excel's traditional grid-based formatUsing the Sheet NavigatorAccess the window spots menu with VO + UNavigate through and interact with sheetsRename, duplicate, or delete tables as neededWorking with Multiple TablesAdd multiple tables to a single sheetUse VO and arrow keys to move between themRename each table for clarity and structureManaging Tables EffectivelyCustomize titles and captionsRemove unnecessary rows and columnsOrganize data by period (e.g., Quarter 1, Quarter 2)Advantages of Using Multiple TablesQuickly shift between distinct data setsEnhance visual clarity, especially for sighted usersTranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Gaurav: Okay folks, so in this lesson we are going to discuss about tables. Now tables are different tables you can have on your sheet in Numbers. And what you want to understand is that unlike Microsoft Excel, Numbers doesn't treat each sheet as a massive grid. It instead treats it like a blank canvas where you can have multiple tables. In Excel, it is treated as one massive grid.Gaurav: Now I'll show you what I mean by that and why it's useful to work with various tables on your canvas on a sheet in Numbers. So I'm back on my Numbers table. I'm going to hit VO plus U for umbrella to open the window spots menu.GauravVoiceOver: Sheet navigator tab group. I'm going to go here, hit enter.VoiceOver: Sheet navigator tab group.Gaurav: I'm going to VO shift down arrow to interact.VoiceOver: In budget sheet selected tab.Gaurav: Budget sheet.

Derek Paulson is Director of Finance and Performing Marketing at Rad Power Bikes, a Seattle-based e-bike company changing transportation. In this episode he talks about his approach to  navigating tariffs (“There  no, no word in the English language more scary to a finance professional than the word uncertainty” says Paulson as he discusses required “efficiency” and “flexibility” in their supply chains). He also reveals his approach to the finance transformation required to shift Rad Power from a direct-to-consumer to an e-commerce and retail focused model, that is “starting   with a blank Excel sheet to do the modeling for Rad Power Bikes”.

In this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, Terry Baker, CEO at Daxtra, dishes on how AI is shaking up recruitment like a caffeinated barista on a Monday morning. With 23 years of AI street cred, he insists AI's only as good as the data it's fed—garbage in, garbage out, folks—while preaching the gospel of keeping hiring human, because no one wants a robot therapist when the job hunt gets rough. The convo takes a wild turn through resume validation (think CSI: LinkedIn Edition), with Baker warning that AI-generated CVs are sneakier than a cat burglar in a yarn store. From automating soul-crushing high-volume gigs to spotting skill gaps in employees who still think “Excel” is a workout move, Baker's got big plans—capped with a future where AI's so slick, it might just write your performance review and roast you at the same time.

What happens when a punk drummer with a pompadour hairstyle starts questioning if Christianity might be a cult?

Could you spend years earning your CPA license only to be told you can't use it? In this episode, Mark Koziel, president of the AICPA, joins Blake and David to discuss the shocking trend of firms prohibiting CPAs from identifying themselves as such in emails, on business cards, and even on LinkedIn. Blake and David also explore the economic uncertainty created by Trump's tariff policies, with major corporations cutting costs and delaying investments. Plus, learn about Republican plans to eliminate the PCAOB, the wave of states creating alternative CPA pathways, and why Ramp could become the federal government's spend management platform.SponsorsOnPay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/onpayBluevine - http://accountingpodcast.promo/bluevine (Bluevine is a financial technology company, not a bank.

Corey is the Chief Growth Officer and his team lead enterprise initiatives at PortPro, an innovative technology company that keeps the drayage industry moving efficiently with its operating platform built for drayage trucking companies, brokerages, and those that do both. About Corey Abbott Corey Abbott, Chief Growth Officer and his team lead enterprise initiatives at PortPro, focusing on developing comprehensive products designed to enhance the customer experience, guided by their needs and feedback. Corey spent over a decade at STG Logistics, the nation's leader in containerized freight, and XPO Logistics, where he built operational, financial, and back-office solutions to help companies and users across the globe. He also partnered with companies across multiple industries and modes of transportation (OTR, Drayage, Intermodal, Global forwarding, LTL, Supply Chain Warehousing/ Transloading, Expedited Air, Road, and Water). He held roles of CIO, Intermodal, and Drayage, and most recently, Chief Product Officer. He holds a Master's degree in accounting and finance from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. About PortPro PortPro is an innovative technology company that keeps the drayage industry moving efficiently with its operating platform built for drayage trucking companies, brokerages, and those that do both. Its flagship TMS platform streamlines order entry, dispatch management, container tracking, communication, appointment-setting, accounts receivable, accounts payable, reporting, AI-driven features, and more for our customers - who can then provide full transparency and better service to their customers.

Key Takeaways: Tech-Driven Drayage: A PortPro Perspective Corey Abbott and Joe Lynch discuss tech-driven drayage: a PortPro perspective. Corey is the Chief Growth Officer and his team lead enterprise initiatives at PortPro, an innovative technology company that keeps the drayage industry moving efficiently with its operating platform built for drayage trucking companies, brokerages, and those that do both. Drayage carriers and brokers face the following challenges: Operational Inefficiencies & Lack of Real-Time Visibility: Difficulty managing complex drayage processes and tracking critical information (containers, status, appointments) leads to wasted time, errors, and increased costs. Manual Processes & Poor Communication Hindering Productivity: Reliance on outdated methods for order entry, scheduling, invoicing, and communication creates administrative burdens, slows down operations, and limits collaboration. Stuck with Outdated Tech or Ill-Suited Systems: Drayage carriers and brokers often face a dilemma: either wrestle with legacy TMS platforms that hinder integration and lack modern AI, or try to force-fit traditional TMS solutions missing crucial drayage-specific features like appointment management. Missing the Mark on Drayage Needs: Existing TMS options frequently fail to address the unique complexities of drayage, lacking the specialized fields and functionalities required for efficient appointment scheduling, container tracking, and overall drayage operation PortPro customers enjoy the following advantages: DrayOS: A Purpose-Built Operating System for Drayage: PortPro's flagship product, DrayOS, is a cloud-based TMS (Transportation Management System) built specifically for drayage operations. It streamlines everything from dispatching and invoicing to document management and container tracking, offering users a centralized platform that eliminates manual workflows and siloed systems. Automated Workflows and Real-Time Visibility: With features like EDI/API integrations, automated billing, and GPS-based container tracking, PortPro empowers carriers and brokerages with real-time operational visibility and faster decision-making. This reduces delays, improves on-time performance, and boosts overall efficiency — critical in an industry where time is money. Compliance and Scalability at the Core: PortPro's technology is designed to adapt to regulatory complexities like AB5 and environmental compliance laws. It helps companies stay ahead of legal changes while scaling their operations without needing to invest heavily in back-office expansion. This makes it especially valuable for mid-sized drayage companies aiming to grow. Specialized AI Agents & Optimizers: PortPro launches AI-powered tools integrated directly into their TMS, offering targeted automation for specific drayage workflows like spreadsheet updates and empty container returns, accessible via an AI Marketplace and customizable chat interface. Key AI Features for Efficiency: The initial rollout includes "AI Chat" for real-time data queries, "Spreadsheet AI Agents" for automatic data synchronization with Excel and Google Sheets, and "Empty Return Agents" to automate the often cumbersome process of managing empty container returns. Addressing Drayage's Manual Inefficiencies: These AI innovations directly tackle the significant administrative burdens in drayage, which can account for up to 20% of operating costs, freeing up operations teams to focus on more strategic and customer-centric activities.

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and Jake Barr welcome Keith Moore, CEO of AutoScheduler.AI, to unpack the logistics problem no one talks about: disjointed technology.

Si tu equipo comercial sigue tratando a Excel como si fuera el Santo Grial, tengo que decírtelo claro: estás dejando dinero sobre la mesa. Y lo peor de todo… ni siquiera te estás dando cuenta. No te lo digo desde un pedestal. Yo también estuve ahí. Durante años trabajé con equipos comerciales que parecían atrapados en la era analógica: llamadas en frío, seguimiento en libretas, procesos improvisados, y un caos de datos repartido en mil documentos. ¿Funcionaba? En parte sí. ¿Escalaba? En absoluto. ¿Era eficiente? Para nada. Lo peor: la incertidumbre me quitaba el sueño. Hasta que un día decidí hacer lo que muchos no se atreven: transformar por completo mi equipo de ventas.

OA1154 - Whatever the stage of fascism is where they start arresting judges for doing their jobs--well, we're here. We review what we know about the in-court arrest of Milwaukie County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan last week. Matt then explains exactly what a “sanctuary” jurisdiction is (and isn't) and how the Trump administration's promises to aggressively investigate and prosecute state and local officials for non-cooperation with ICE fits into the overall plan of American authoritarianism. We also review ICE's efforts to engage “force multipliers” via special cooperation agreements with state law enforcement under INA 287(g) and how you can do your part to stop it.

Creating StreaksStreaks have always been helpful to me, building a chain of habits that help you see your own progress. For entrepreneurs, they are especially important because it's so easy to feel like you aren't making progress. Many entrepreneurs tell me, “I get to the end of the day and it feels like the scoreboard is reset to zero.” Yikes.Jerry Seinfeld was always a big proponent of this idea, saying that the best thing you can do as a comedian is “Write jokes, every day” and “don't break the chain!” He uses a calendar and writes a big “X” on the day when he would write jokes.Right now, I'm following “The Way” meditation app, and I'm about 80/100 or so Meditation sessions in. It's nice when apps track your streak for you, however, I have also been using Excel spreadsheets a lot lately. Simple TrackingI used to be a heavy user of different tech and tools like Notion or Evernote and kept up with my work with more intense systems. Today, I mostly use Excel, my Apple notes, and then one-off Google docs for simple reviews. ChatGPT, of course, is up regularly and is sort of a booster pack to whatever I'm already doing. It's been fun to track what I'm reading, the comments I'm getting, and what my workouts are for the day. I feel good tracking because I'm able to better recollect progress. I think that when you have ADHD, you do more than most people and feel like you've done less. Mostly, what's probably missing is a sense of completeness of tasks. I notice that even on weekends that there are days when I make a to-do list, I simply feel better and feel more productive. Tracking my WritingWhat metrics do you track?What we choose to track really matters. You probably don't spend nearly enough time thinking about this. If we track outcomes and external validation, we're going to be stuck in a terribly difficult loop that we can never get out of. Tracking our effort as an input helps separate who we are from what we do, or maybe it combines it, in a way that makes us feel better when we're taking action. This simple point; knowing what to track, and then tracking it, while avoiding the trap of tracking things that simply don't matter – is surprisingly difficult. Social media tracks things on your behalf, they are a default metric that you are forced to care about. On social media, I believe “comments” are the best thing to track. Or you could say you track positive interactions with your community. I think that's a fairly decent metric as it involves connection. Most other metrics are totally pointless. Even then, I can't really *create* comments and not all comments are the same. Knowing what to track, and why it matters to you will take your life in completely different directions. Mr. Beast has optimized his entire life around a game that I think is somewhat silly: Youtube's algorithm. He's the best person in the world at optimizing for Youtube's algorithm. Because of that, his choice of what to create is limited by that filter. I don't look up to someone like Mr. Beast because it's not something I care about at all. And that's OK. I'm mostly talking about knowing that for yourself rather than feeling the allure of someone else's game that actually means nothing to you. If you told me I could have 1Million views on a video tomorrow, but it had to be in the style of Mr. Beast, I wouldn't do it. That's obvious because I'm not doing it.The Good LifeTracking what matters to me let's me stack my good days, good sessions, and good moments together. If you can design your life in such a way that you have many good or even great things happen every single day, that, to me, makes a great life. Feeling successful doesn't have that strong of a connection to achievement. That's another false metric we link and track. Typically, people feel successful when they are in pursuit of their dream. You don't even have to succeed at it. You simply have to succeed in doing the things that you desire and dream to do. Athletes lose most games they play, that's the essence of the sport. Maybe they will dominate for a while. It doesn't really matter, they are chasing their own dream.My friend Kristi said something profound that was a great visual and quote,“We watch athletes and sports stars on TV because they are chasing their dreams. Instead of watching them live theirs, what if you lived yours?”Tracking actions related to your dreams is a great start, and you don't need any fancy software. What streak are you starting or continuing today?Making this your ownSo, how do you apply this in your life?Pick 1–3 Key Metrics – Make sure these matter to you (e.g., meditation streak, pages written, workouts, interactions with your community).Use Any System That Works – Calendar, spreadsheet, or a simple notebook.

In this episode of the Trust Your Voice podcast, hosted by Sylvie Légère, the focus is on educational choice and the challenges faced by homeschooling families in Illinois due to the House Bill 2827. The show brings together Leslee Dirnberger and Aziza Butler, two leaders in the homeschooling community, to discuss the implications of this bill. Leslee and Aziza share their personal journeys in homeschooling and the benefits of individualized education for their neurodiverse children. The conversation emphasizes the flexibility, diversity, and tailored nature of homeschooling as opposed to traditional public schooling. The episode delves into the content of House Bill 2827, which mandates homeschooling families in Illinois to register with local school districts and submit curriculum reviews, sparking concerns about increased government oversight and limited parental choice. Utilizing SEO-focused keywords, the discussion highlights key issues such as government overreach, educational innovation, and the constitutional rights of parents. Aziza and Leslee articulate their viewpoints on how the bill might stifle educational innovation and infringe on parental rights, encouraging listeners to engage with legislators to voice opposition.  About the Guests: Leslee Dirnberger is the founder of Aspire Education, a consultancy dedicated to helping families create individualized education plans for their children. As a former homeschooler of four neurodiverse children who are now thriving, Leslee combines her personal experience with her professional expertise to support parents seeking alternative educational paths. Aziza Butler is a homeschool mom of six and the founder of We School Academy, a flexible schedule learning community based in Chicago. A former Chicago Public Schools teacher, Aziza is committed to removing barriers for families choosing to homeschool or privately educate their children.

Why do we need to look back at our past to move forward in marriage? In this meaningful episode, Rebekah and Gabe explore how unresolved childhood experiences shape our marriage conflicts today. They share that the number one trigger in marital fights is actually tone—not words—because "we sense before we make sense" of what our spouse is saying. The Lyons vulnerably discuss how Gabe's counselor once told him he communicated "like an Excel spreadsheet"—all facts with no heart—revealing how childhood trauma had caused him to shut down emotionally.Drawing from their book "The Fight For Us," they introduce Dr. Chip Dodd's eight primary feelings (hurt, loneliness, sadness, anger, fear, shame, guilt, and gladness) and explain how confessing these emotions transforms them from impairments into gifts. When loneliness is shared, it leads to intimacy; when fear is named, it builds faith. The episode closes with a beautiful blessing for couples willing to be vulnerable and trust each other, especially when it requires risk.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fFree Gifts when You Order Now:Get Our Free Masterclass, Growth & Connection Toolkit, Emotional Health for Marriages Course and More at https://rebekahlyons.com/marriageTake the What's Your Dance Quiz:rebekahlyons.com/quiz
