On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Guillermo Schulte to explore how AI is reshaping up-skilling, re-skilling, and the future of education through play, from learning games and gamification to emotional intelligence, mental health, and the coming wave of abundance and chaos that technology is accelerating; they also get into synchronous vs. asynchronous learning, human–AI collaboration, and how organizations can use data-driven game experiences for cybersecurity, onboarding, and ongoing training. To learn more about Guillermo's work, check out TGAcompany.com, as well as TGA Entertainment on Instagram and LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop opens with Guillermo Schulte on up-skilling, re-skilling, and AI's accelerating impact on work.05:00 They explore play-based learning, video games as education, and early childhood engagement through game mechanics.10:00 Conversation shifts to the overload in modern schooling, why play disappeared, and the challenge of scalable game-based learning.15:00 Guillermo contrasts synchronous vs asynchronous learning and how mobile access democratizes education.20:00 They reflect on boredom, creativity, novelty addiction, and how AI reshapes attention and learning.25:00 Discussion moves to AGI speculation, human discernment, taste, and embodied decision-making.30:00 They explore unpredictable technological leaps, exponential improvement, and the future of knowledge.35:00 Abundance, poverty decline, and chaos—both from scarcity and prosperity—and how societies adapt.40:00 Mental health, emotional well-being, and organizational responsibility become central themes.45:00 Technical training through games emerges: cybersecurity, Excel, and onboarding with rich data insights.50:00 Guillermo explains the upcoming platform enabling anyone to create AI-powered learning games and personalized experiences.Key InsightsAI is accelerating the urgency of up-skilling and re-skilling. Guillermo highlights how rapid technological change is transforming every profession, making continuous learning essential for remaining employable and adding value in a world where machines increasingly handle routine tasks.Play is humanity's native learning tool—and video games unlock it for adults. He explains that humans are wired to learn through play, yet traditional education suppresses this instinct. Learning games reintroduce engagement, emotion, and curiosity, making education more intuitive and scalable.Gamified, asynchronous learning can democratize access. While synchronous interaction is powerful, Guillermo emphasizes that mobile-first, game-based learning allows millions—including those without resources—to gain skills anytime, closing gaps in opportunity and meritocracy.Emotional intelligence will matter more as AI takes over technical tasks. As AI becomes increasingly capable in logic-heavy fields, human strengths like empathy, leadership, creativity, and relationship-building become central to meaningful work and personal fulfillment.Novelty and boredom shape how we learn and think. They discuss how constant novelty can stunt creativity, while boredom creates the mental space for insight. Future learning systems will need to balance stimulation with reflection to avoid cognitive overload.Abundance will bring psychological challenges alongside material benefits. Stewart and Guillermo point out that while AI and robotics may create unprecedented prosperity, they may also destabilize identity and purpose, amplifying the already-growing mental health crisis.AI-powered game creation could redefine education entirely. Guillermo describes TGA's upcoming platform that lets anyone transform documents into personalized learning games, using player data to adapt difficulty and style—potentially making learning more effective, accessible, and enjoyable than traditional instruction.

ClearCOGS is creating a new category in restaurant technology by bringing predictive analytics to an industry that operates almost entirely on retrospective data. With $3.8 million raised, the company analyzes 100 million data points daily per restaurant to forecast demand and optimize prep decisions. In a recent episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Matt Wampler, CEO and Co-Founder of ClearCOGS, to explore how his experience turning around failing Jimmy John's franchises led him to build forecasting software that's fundamentally changing how restaurants operate—and how he's defining a category that doesn't yet exist. Topics Discussed: Matt's transition from 21-year-old Jimmy John's franchisee working 110-hour weeks to identifying systematic inefficiencies in food prep decisions across five locations Why restaurants remain stuck in reactive mode while sports betting and fantasy football have sophisticated predictive analytics ClearCOGS's data infrastructure processing 100 million variables daily—from 15-minute POS intervals and weather patterns to dew point and local events The product discovery process where Matt's co-founder kept asking "why" until every feature request collapsed into one core problem: uncertainty about tomorrow's demand Category creation through the Restaurant AI podcast despite no clear attribution model Building in public on LinkedIn as an enterprise lead generation channel that landed major brands within six weeks The ICP evolution from enterprise fast-casual chains (15-1,000 locations) to a freemium Toast integration targeting independents GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Let outsiders interrogate your domain expertise: Matt wanted to build dashboards restaurant operators requested. His technical co-founder repeatedly asked "why do you want that dashboard?" then "why do you need to see that?" Every answer eventually reached the same root cause: operators didn't know who would walk in tomorrow, making food prep, ordering, and staffing decisions inefficient. This pattern held across dozens of restaurant brands. The yin-yang of insider knowledge plus relentless outside questioning revealed the actual problem worth solving versus building a feature graveyard of requested tools. Reframe category education through familiar high-stakes analogies: "Predictive analytics" meant nothing to restaurant operators. Matt's breakthrough was pointing out the cognitive dissonance in their lives: they studied dozens of variables and probabilistic forecasts for fantasy football lineups but ran six-figure businesses on Excel sheets and gut instinct. This wasn't explaining predictive analytics—it was exposing the absurdity of having better forecasting tools for fantasy sports than for their livelihood, making the gap visceral and the solution obvious. Convert forecast errors into customer intelligence touchpoints: When ClearCOGS's predictions missed, the team initially spent weeks reoptimizing algorithms. The pivot: immediately call the customer, acknowledge the miss, and say "we're on it." Customers didn't expect perfection from a system replacing Excel and guesswork—they valued having someone actually watching their operation. In a software landscape where vendors disappear post-sale, proactive error acknowledgment became relationship acceleration. Every miss became an opportunity to demonstrate attentiveness that competitors couldn't match. Segment messaging by incentive structure, not org chart: ClearCOGS discovered the messaging split wasn't finance versus operations—it was franchisors versus franchisees. Franchisors earning royalties on top-line revenue needed consistency and scalability messaging. Franchisees and on-ground operators living on bottom-line profitability needed waste reduction and margin improvement messaging. The same product solving the same problem required different value propositions based on how buyers were compensated, not what department they sat in. Test public vulnerability as enterprise sales acceleration: Matt had zero social media presence before ClearCOGS. He started posting about struggles and failures on LinkedIn. Within six weeks, a major restaurant brand reached out for partnership discussions. Later, he posted their first website draft asking for brutal feedback—50 people responded with detailed reviews, video walkthroughs, and unsolicited legal advice. When he launched the Restaurant AI podcast with unclear ROI, he treated it as category education infrastructure. In oversaturated B2B markets, authentic struggle documentation cuts through polished competitor noise and creates asymmetric enterprise access that paid channels can't replicate. //  Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Je me souviens d'un manager que j'ai croisé il y a quelques mois. Il m'a dit cette phrase tellement classique :“Gaël, j'ai l'impression de passer mes journées à gérer des tableaux Excel… pas des humains.”Et il avait raison.Combien de managers passent plus de temps à remplir qu'à écouter ? À cocher des cases plutôt qu'à faire grandir leurs équipes ?C'est là que l'intelligence artificielle peut changer la donne. Pas pour remplacer le manager.Mais pour lui redonner du temps, de la clarté… et de l'humanité.

Earmark Media Presents a bonus episode of Earmark Podcast:Live from Boston on the final stop of the Advisory Amplified tour, Blake sits down with James Erving from Fathom and Chris Macksey from Prix Fixe Accounting to explore what advisory services really mean beyond bookkeeping and compliance. Chris shares how his firm requires advisory for all restaurant clients, using industry expertise and operational metrics to guide decisions on everything from menu pricing to expansion timing. The conversation covers the difference between delivering information versus being integral to decision-making, with insights on forecasting, benchmarking, and why visual KPIs help clients with low financial literacy understand their business performance.Meet Our GuestsJames ErvingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameserving/Learn more about FathomOfficial website: http://fathomhq.comChris MackseyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmacksey/Learn more about Prix Fixe AccountingOfficial website: https://prixfixe.accountants/Need CPE?Get CPE for this episode: https://earmark.app/c/2912Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

El episodio se centró en la transformación digital y la gestión del talento, con Laura Lozano, directora general (CEO) de Rhematch. Laura , con amplia experiencia en recursos humanos y desarrollo organizacional nos platica de su historia profesional y lo qué evocó la creación de RHEMATCH.Rematch es una empresa tecnológica nativa digital que nació de la necesidad de grandes multinacionales de encontrar su talento oculto, tanto interno como externo. La empresa utiliza Inteligencia Artificial (IA) para aumentar las capacidades de búsqueda de talento.Uno de sus aportes clave es superar las limitaciones de los sistemas tradicionales de seguimiento de candidatos (ATS). Rematch realiza una inferencia de palabras, buscando más allá de keywords exactos (ej., infiere "comunicación" si se usó "oratoria"). Esto evita que candidatos aptos sean descartados por un mal algoritmo.Para la estrategia de recursos humanos (RH), se subraya la importancia de tomar decisiones basadas en evidencia mediante el análisis de datos (Talent Analytics). Esto incluye analizar todo el embudo de reclutamiento (desde clicks en publicaciones hasta la conversión de ofertas aceptadas) para identificar ajustes estratégicos.Habilidades Clave para la Era de la IALa necesidad de aprendizaje constante (reskilling/upskilling) es crucial, ya que nadie está exento de que sus conocimientos se vuelvan obsoletos. Las habilidades más buscadas por las empresas incluyen:1. Capital Social: Desarrollar contactos no redundantes (gente fuera de la propia carrera o círculo social) para obtener información diversa y mayores oportunidades.2. Agilidad y Resiliencia: La capacidad de adaptarse rápidamente al cambio y a que las cosas no salgan como se planea, vital en la transición a la IA.3. Terminar lo que se Empieza: Se valora altamente la habilidad de finalizar proyectos iniciados.4. Uso de la IA: Es importante aprender a hacer un buen prompt (similar a cómo se requería saber Excel), pero manteniendo las bases teóricas para revisar y validar la información que la IA genera, evitando así que esta "alucine". Es necesario asegurar que haya "humans in the loop" para revisar decisiones críticas.Retención de Talento y CulturaLa rotación de personal es un "dolor latente" que consume recursos y genera variabilidad y errores. Para la retención, las empresas deben satisfacer las necesidades del colaborador en orden jerárquico (similar a la Pirámide de Maslow):1. Básicas: Salario suficiente para la calidad de vida.2. Pertenencia: Sentido de acogida (especialmente en áreas operativas).3. Impacto: Los colaboradores buscan ver el propósito e impacto de su trabajo en la compañía.En cuanto a la cultura empresarial, se identifica la oportunidad en México de migrar de una "cultura de la culpa" a una "cultura de la innovación", donde se permita el fracaso en ambientes controlados y se recompense la toma de riesgos en lugar de castigar los errores.Support the showRecuerda que puedes conectar con nuestras redes y sitios web.

Die Digitalisierung ist nicht das Thema des CIO, heißt es in vielen Unternehmen. Aber ohne ihn geht's dann eben auch nicht. Wie kann die Rolle eine Darüber spricht Christian Krug, der Host des Podcasts „Unf*ck Your Data“ mit André Sauer, Gründer von NextCIO.Gefühlt ist der CIO oder IT-Leiter in vielen deutschen Unternehmen einer der wichtigsten C-Level. Das Thema Digitalisierung oder gar die KI Transformation traut man ihm aber oft dennoch nicht zu. Irgendwie paradox. Denn genau das könnte oder sollte ja auch eine der Kernstärken der IT sein.Denn für die Digitalisierung und digitale Transformation werden nicht mit Zettel und Stift, auch nicht mit Excel und Servern im Keller passieren.Natürlich muss der Business Mehrwert im Fokus stehen und die Bedürfnisse der Fachbereiche und Kunden sind der zentrale Dreh- und Angelpunkt.Nur ohne ein gute Strategie und solide Umsetzung wird es in Chaos und Stückwerk enden.Fachbereiche mit geeigneten Tools versorgen heißt eben nicht, dass jeder kaufen und bestellen kann was er/sie möchte und sich die IT dann um die Wartung kümmert.Es heißt gemeinsam ein Toll zu suchen, das die Anforderungen erfüllt. Gewisse Standards erfüllt und auch zentral gewartet werden kann.Denn nur dann kann die IT auch die Unterstützung liefern, die das Business braucht.Es ist und bleibt ein Teamsport.Am Abschluss lässt André dann noch Satz raus der viele IT Leiter wohl erstmal nicht mehr schlafen lässt:Alles was in die Cloud kann sollte in die Cloud!Denn der Gewinn an Flexibilität und Unabhängigkeit von der eigenen Hardware sind den Preis wert.▬▬▬▬▬▬ Profile: ▬▬▬▬Zum LinkedIn-Profil von André: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andre-sauer-cio/Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Christian: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-krug/Christians Wonderlink: https://wonderl.ink/@christiankrugUnf*ck Your Data auf Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfck-your-data▬▬▬▬▬▬ Buchempfehlung: ▬▬▬▬Buchempfehlung von André: Sun Tzu – The art of warAlle Empfehlungen in Melenas Bücherladen: https://gunzenhausen.buchhandlung.de/unfuckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Hier findest Du Unf*ck Your Data: ▬▬▬▬Zum Podcast auf Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ow7ySMbgnir27etMYkpxT?si=dc0fd2b3c6454bfaZum Podcast auf iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/unf-ck-your-data/id1673832019Zum Podcast auf Deezer: https://deezer.page.link/FnT5kRSjf2k54iib6Zum Podcast auf Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@unfckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Merch: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬https://unfckyourdata-shop.de/▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kontakt: ▬▬▬▬E-Mail:

We are very lucky to be joined on CSI Chat by the reigning 2024 Microsoft Excel World Champion, Michael Jarman.  We talk to Michael about a number of topics, including:  What do the "Microsoft Excel World Championships" entail?  How does one prepare themselves for the World Championships?  If somebody was interested in competing, how do they go about qualifying? What is more important at the Excel World Championships, Speed or Skill?   What is Michael's favorite Excel function for moderate and advanced users of Excel? How is the process going for 2025?  Is Michael going "back-to-back"? I hope everyone enjoys the "CSI Chat" with the top Excel user on the planet Michael Jarman.  

Show Notes: Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, a leading expert on project management, talks about his upcoming HBR book.  Antonio shares his career path, including his time at PwC, banking, and pharma, and his early realization of the importance of project management. Changing the Perception of Project Management He discusses his mission to change the perception of project management from a tactical to a strategic role, including his work with the Project Management Institute (PMI) and his goal to publish in Harvard Business Review (HBR). Antonio highlights the challenges he faced in gaining recognition for project management as a most important facet of any organization, and his eventual success in publishing his second book with HBR. Antonio explains the key concept of his new book and shares how he pitched the idea to HBR, emphasizing that everyone is a project manager and that organizations should be project-driven. The Definition of Project Management Antonio mentions the success of his first book with HBR, which sold over 50,000 copies and was translated into multiple languages. He moves on to outline the theme of his new book: how every organization should become project-driven to adapt faster and transform constantly in a changing world. When asked to define what a project is, Antonio provides a classic academic definition of a project, emphasizing its start, end, objective, and teamwork. He then shares a more inspirational definition, stating that projects build the future of organizations and should be seen as essential and prestigious. He stresses the importance of project managers being proud of their work and the significant impact projects have on the future of companies. Project-driven vs. Operations-driven Organizations Antonio compares and contrasts project-driven and operations-driven organizations. He explains that most established companies are operations-driven, with operations at the core and projects as secondary. He also discusses the impact of the agile mindset, which broke down silos and hierarchies but still prioritized operations. Antonio introduces his model of a project-driven organization, where projects are at the core, teams are fully dedicated, and operations become more modular and secondary. Transformation from Operations-driven to Project-driven When offering tips on driving transformation from operations-driven to project-driven, Antonio identifies three main challenges: the organization's culture, the role of leaders, and the evolution of project management. He highlights the high failure rate of projects and the need for continuous transformation rather than continuous improvement, and emphasizes the importance of co-creation, bottom-up approaches, and the courage to stop projects that are not working. Managing Project Portfolios and Tracking Projects Antonio suggests conducting an inventory of all projects, identifying owners, and cutting a significant number of projects to focus on the most important ones. He recommends using project portfolio management (PPM) tools or simple Excel sheets to track projects. Antonio stresses the importance of prioritizing projects that lead to exponential growth and big bets rather than incremental improvements. When managing project portfolios and changing their management infrastructure, Antonio advises leaders to sponsor no more than three projects and to group projects into programs for better focus. He recommends having fully dedicated project teams where people leave their day jobs to focus on projects. Antonio explains that leaders should act more as coaches, empowering teams to take decisions and prioritize within projects. And finally, he emphasizes the importance of sharing knowledge and being open to exchanging ideas with others.

The story starts with two very different paths to faith—one raised in church but resistant to ministry, the other the first Christian in her family who woke up changed at seventeen. Those paths converged years later, when we compared dreams on a first date and said the quiet part out loud: we felt called to plant and pastor a church. The only mystery left was where. The answer became Chicago—its food, architecture, and energy, yes, but also its honest mix of beauty and brokenness. For Sarah, returning to her hometown felt impossible until a moment looking down from a departing plane turned resistance into a clear invitation: come back for redemption.They moved in 2019 with a solid plan—team, timeline, funding—and watched it collapse within months as the pandemic swept through the city. Our people left. Support paused. The playbook evaporated. What remained was presence: loving literal neighbors, sharing backyard meals, praying simple prayers, and letting a table culture do the work a stage couldn't. That season changed our approach and our hearts. We traded a metrics-first mindset for formation-first habits, asking what God wanted to build in us before anything He might build through us. Humility, integrity, and self-awareness became non-negotiables, and a small daily prayer—“God, give me one connection”—kept us moving with faith instead of frenzy.Send us a textWe want to help you find your next steps in ministry.Connect here with EXCEL.

We met in a conference room at an office in Barrington, IL. A place where sometime later a couple guys thought they'd screw me in a business deal. I came out ahead in the end, but the place has mixed memories.   This meeting involved thinking about the future of asset data and systems interoperability. We had a system diagram. The idea was to solve a huge problem for owner/operators of process manufacturing enterprises—flowing engineering data into other software systems for operations, maintenance, and enterprise. The incumbent system was a morass of paper (or pdf documents which was much the same thing).   We did trademark searches and domain name searches and eventually settled on the Open Industrial Interoperability Ecosystem—OIIE.   I plot this history for context for the conference I attended recently—the 2nd ADIF Workshop at Texas A&M University dubbed Driving Asset Data and Systems Interoperability Toward an Open and Neutral Data Ecosystem.   This workshop brought together owner/operators, EPCs, System Integrators, university researchers, standards organizations, and software vendors. Each group conducted a panel discussion of its needs and successes. I was there for a short presentation and to moderate the standards panel.   Professor David Jeong from Texas A&M and the session leader previewed the discussions. One of his colleagues later presented research his team has performed to provide a method for taking P&ID documentation into a standard format usable by other software systems.   The message that came to me from the panel of owner/operators (grossly summarized, as will be all the discussions) included two key words—collaborate and operationalize. They are impatient about solving this data interoperability problem. One panelist quipped, "We know the project is finished when the large van backs into the loading dock and disgorges mountains of paper."   What blows my mind is that I was moved to a position called Data Manager in 1977 to tackle the (much smaller) mountain of paper our product engineering department provided to operations, accounting, and inventory management. I led a digitalization effort in 1978 to tackle the problem. The problem not only remains, but it is immensely more complicated and critical.   The EPCs basically said that their hands were tied by the owner/operators mandating which design and engineering software to use and the inflexibility of the vendors of said design and engineering software. When owner/operators had requested digital documentation, they had responded with pdfs. Hardly interoperable data.   Our standards panel included the leader of DEXPI, whose organization has developed a method of changing P&ID data into an xlsx (Excel) format. That, of course, is a good start.   An organization called CFIHOS (see-foss) presented their take on standards. I'm afraid I got a bit lost in the slides (note: more research needed). What I gathered was that they were attempting one overriding standard—and that that work was years away. Interesting that I listened to Benedict Evans' podcast this morning. He is a long-time tech industry analyst. He remarked in another context, "It seems that where there are 10 standards and someone comes along with a standard to encompass them all, you wind up with 11 standards."   The ISA-95 was presented. This messaging (and more) standard is incorporated with the OIIE, which was presented next. Dr. Markus Stumptner of the University of South Australia presented his research work on proof of concept of the OIIE.   If we can get enough momentum focusing on this area and find some SIs willing to take the OIIE to an owner/operator, perhaps we can finally prove the business case of asset data and systems interoperability.

Long time lurker, first time poster - be nice please! :) I was searching for summary data of EA funding trends, but couldn't find anything more recent than Tyler's post from 2022. So I decided to update it. If this analysis is done properly anywhere, please let me know. The spreadsheet is here (some things might look weird due to importing from Excel to sheets) Observations EA grantmaking appears on a steady downward trend since 2022 / FTX. The squeeze on GH funding to support AI / other longtermist priorities appears to be really taking effect this year (though 2025 is a rough estimate and has significant uncertainty.) I am really interested in particular about the apparent drop in GW grants this year. I suspect that it is wrong or at least misleading - the metrics report suggests they are raising ~$300m p.a. from non OP donors. Not sure if I have made an error (missing direct to charity donations?) or if they are just sitting on funding with the ongoing USAID disruption. Methodology I compiled the latest grants databases from EA Funds, GiveWell, OpenPhilanthropy, and SFF. I added summary level data from ACE.

El día que un alpinista murió al lado de una fila de gente con selfie sticks (Historia real) En mayo de 2019, un alpinista murió a pocos metros de la cima del Everest. No por una avalancha, ni por una tormenta, ni por quedarse sin oxígeno. Murió esperando turno en un atasco a 8.800 metros de altura. A su alrededor, más de 200 personas hacían cola para subir a la cumbre más famosa del planeta. Había turistas sin experiencia, influencers buscando “la foto”, escaladores profesionales desesperados… y una cuerda fija donde todos tenían que pasar uno tras de otro, como si en el supermercado sólo tuvieran una única caja abierta en hora punta. Había gente con edemas pulmonares, otros con los dedos congelándose lentamente, otros sin oxígeno porque habían calculado mal… y aun así la fila seguía avanzando como si la montaña fuese un parque temático. Lo más inquietante no fue la tragedia. Lo inquietante fue el patrón: Cuando mucha gente quiere lo mismo a la vez, la dificultad no está en la cima. Está en la cola. Y la cola mata más que la montaña. Esa historia es incómoda porque habla de algo que hacemos sin darnos cuenta. Nos obsesionamos con la meta, ignoramos el atasco y asumimos que llegar arriba es solo cuestión de fuerza de voluntad, cuando en realidad depende de dinámicas colectivas que nadie controla. Pues bien: esta semana, en los mercados, ha pasado algo peligrosamente parecido. No voy a contarte el qué. Para eso está el episodio. Solo te digo que hemos visto gente escalando sectores sin mirar dónde pisan, empresas pidiendo oxígeno a mitad de ascenso, modelos de negocio que parecían cimas y resultaron cuellos de botella y avalanchas que no vinieron por los riesgos obvios… sino por la cola, por la acumulación de decisiones idénticas tomadas por demasiada gente al mismo tiempo. Si quieres entender por qué hay semanas en las que la bolsa se parece más al Everest que a un Excel y por qué algunos inversores llegan a la cima sin aire mientras otros se quedan atrapados en la fila nuevo episodio de Actualidad Semanal +D.

Runway is building FP&A software that solves what Siqi Chen calls "the impossible problem"—matching Excel's speed and flexibility for thinking while functioning as an enterprise finance platform. In this episode of The Front Lines, wew sat down with Siqi to unpack Runway's mischief marketing playbook, why they enriched hot sauce pre-orders for lead gen, and how they're implementing AI as a coworker rather than a copilot. Topics Discussed: The unit economics behind the Burn Rate hot sauce campaign: $40K spend, 5K pre-orders, millions of views  How Siqi justifies creative marketing spend as CEO and CFO: downside scenarios must break even, upside gets uncapped returns  Naval's prescient 2020 advice: don't call it CFO AI because "everything's going to be AI anyway"  Why finance buyers completely flipped on AI in 24 months—from indifferent to requiring it  The three emotional triggers that drive FP&A tool adoption: frustration, resentment, anxiety  Runway's approach to competing with Excel by changing abstraction layers, not features  Building AI as a coworker (Ari) that lives in Slack, email, and comments—not a sidebar  Why proof-of-human marketing compounds in value as AI slop becomes the baseline GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Model creative campaigns like venture bets with downside protection: Siqi's framework: $40K for 200 hot sauces wrapped with $100 bills equals 1.5 deals to break even at mid-five-figure ACVs. But the real play was generating 5,000 pre-orders, enriching the top 200, and converting ICP matches at "well above 1%" into pipeline. The math ensures you don't lose money in downside scenarios while creative execution delivers uncapped upside. For B2B founders: calculate your break-even deal count, then structure campaigns where lead gen mechanics provide a safety net under the brand play. Hire for proof of work, not creative credentials: When Cal (Taika co-founder) cold-emailed Siqi with designed mockups of Burn Rate hot sauce and Runway jerseys, that was the interview. Siqi was already a Taika customer who remembered the 415 phone number branding on the can. His advice: "There's no better resume than someone saying 'hey, I submitted a pull request' or 'here's some designs.'" For creative roles especially, evaluate the artifacts directly rather than filtering through credentials or pitches about what they could do. Sell to emotion-driven active searchers, not satisfied users: Runway identified three specific emotions that trigger FP&A software searches: frustration (manually pulling from 20+ data sources monthly, copy-pasting QuickBooks exports), resentment (department heads treating finance requests as "the stupid form" and ignoring deadlines), and anxiety (one error in 10 million Google Sheets cells breaks the entire model). These aren't rational pain points—they're emotional breaking points that drive active solution-seeking. Don't build go-to-market around convincing satisfied Excel users. Instead, optimize for discovery when these specific emotions converge. Treat abstraction changes as category creation opportunities: Siqi explains Airtable's success came from changing Excel's abstraction from cell to row, enabling databases and applications. Runway's insight: business planning requires abstraction changes that Excel can't provide—specifically treating the model as a "game engine" or "simulation of a business" rather than a spreadsheet. The category emerged from that technical insight, not from marketing positioning. For technical founders: identify where your abstraction layer change creates fundamentally new capabilities, then let category definition follow from customer language around those capabilities. Time creative marketing to buyer perception shifts: Two years ago, Runway demoed AI features to leads who "didn't care at all." Today, buyers "don't care what the AI feature is, they just care that it's AI"—a complete flip. Meanwhile, Runway's competitors use .ai domains while Runway uses .com, creating unexpected differentiation. The lesson: buyer perception of emerging technologies follows unpredictable curves. Creative marketing that feels early can land perfectly if timed to perception inflection points. Track not just technology maturity but buyer discourse and demand signals to time creative bets. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Earmark Media Presents a bonus episode of Earmark Podcast:Live from Austin on the Advisory Amplified tour, Blake sits down with Madeline Reeves of Fearless Foundry and Wesley McDonald of Relay to explore what it truly means to be a renegade in accounting: firms that lead clients to somewhere new rather than settle for "the way things have always been done."

Hay días en los que tengo todo bajo control… y otros, en los que ni el Excel me salva. Por mucho tiempo pensé que eso era un problema —que ser caótica me restaba profesionalismo — hasta que entendí que el caos también puede ser estrategia. Este episodio nació de esa idea: de dejar de pelear con el desorden y empezar a dirigirlo. Porque el caos no destruye: te empuja a evolucionar.Es el espacio donde nacen las ideas, las reinvenciones y también las versiones más reales de nosotras. Hoy te comparto El arte de dirigir tu caos, una conversación sobre lo que pasa cuando sueltas el control y te permites fluir entre el plan y la intuición. No todo lo estructurado es éxito. Ni todo lo caótico es fracaso. A veces, el equilibrio está justo ahí: entre el Excel y el desmadre.
