Executives climbing the corporate ladder to the top seem to lose IQ the higher up they get.That might explain why John Deere's top corporate bosses have imposed an astonishingly stupid policy on America's farmers. For years, they've decreed that while a farmer “technically owns” a tractor or other John Deere product, the owner is prohibited from making any repairs when the machinery breaks down, stalls out, etc. Instead, owners must call an authorized Deere dealer to fix what most farmers could handle by themselves.The monopolistic profiteer refuses to make its repair manuals available to customers or local repair shops, so… gotcha!But in 2020, Walter Schweitzer rallied with other mad-as-hell farmers and ranchers to rebel. The Montana rancher's tractor had gone kaput in hay baling season – but, “no,” said a Deere dealer, a technician is not available; and “no,” you can't have access to the diagnostic computer to do it yourself. So, he had to wait weeks before Deere finally got his tractor running – a fairly basic job worth about $600… but they billed Walter nearly $4,000.That's what's called “a monopoly fix.” But they messed with the wrong farmer. Schweitzer, president of the Montana Farmers Union, mobilized grassroots pressure from five states, forcing federal officials to sue Deere. This month, Deere's aloof executives settled that suit, finally letting its farm customers take charge of the equipment that – hello! – they own!Schweitzer points out that this landmark win over the arrogance of Deere executives is just one stepping stone to a right-to-repair law for all products.

How quickly should an AI investment begin producing measurable business results? In this episode, I speak with Monica Kumar, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Extreme Networks, about the growing pressure on technology leaders to prove that AI investments are producing financial and operational value. The conversation draws on Extreme Networks' State of AI for Networking 2026 report, based on a global survey of 200 C-level executives and vice presidents of IT. The findings suggest that enterprise AI has entered a far less forgiving phase. Experimentation continues, but executives increasingly want evidence that deployments are reducing costs, improving productivity or creating better user experiences. The most striking result is the speed now expected. Some 57 percent of respondents said they expect measurable AI impact within weeks or sooner, compared with 16 percent in the previous year. Projects that once might have received six or 12 months to demonstrate value may now face questions within 30 or 60 days. Monica explains why these demands are changing which AI projects receive attention. Leaders are looking for use cases connected with existing operational problems, where results can be measured and communicated clearly. This makes enterprise networking an interesting test case. AI workloads depend on network compute, bandwidth, availability and access to current data. According to the research, 92 percent of respondents said AI is increasing demands on network compute and bandwidth. A fragmented or outdated network may therefore limit the performance of the AI applications running across it. The network can also provide an early opportunity to show what AI produces in practice. Monica discusses performance monitoring, predictive analysis, troubleshooting, compliance checks, capacity planning and security. These are repetitive, data-heavy activities where improvements can be measured in time saved, fewer support tickets and better service availability. A case from Middlesbrough College brings those claims into focus. The college reports that firmware tracking fell from as much as five hours each week to approximately five minutes, while the time spent troubleshooting decreased by around 90 percent. For a small network team, the value comes from giving people additional capacity without asking them to monitor every device or event manually. We also discuss why AI capabilities work better when embedded within normal business systems rather than added as another standalone tool. If an AI service remains outside the daily workflow, employees must move between platforms, transfer information and interpret the result themselves. Integrated AI can monitor the network, identify anomalies, recommend action and automate routine work within the environment where the team already operates. Monica also warns that the quality of AI depends heavily on its data. Before investing in another model or application, businesses need accurate, current and well-managed information. They must also examine whether their network has the capacity to support additional workloads and whether employees understand how to use AI responsibly. If executives expect AI results within weeks, are businesses selecting the right use cases, or simply imposing unrealistic deadlines on complicated technology programs? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

Send us Fan MailI have three questions I come back to more than almost any other with my clients, and every time, I watch a smart, accomplished leader go quiet. Not because they're unsure. Because they've never had to answer it before.I'm sharing what those three questions are and what that quiet usually means. It's rarely about what people think it's about, and once you see it, it's hard to unsee.In this episode, I'll cover:Recognize when you're treating something as fixed that's actually up for negotiationNotice what you're not saying, even when you think you've been clearWalk into your next high-stakes conversation seeing what you've been missing
In this episode of Connecting the Dots, I sat down with my longtime friend Therese Ten Brinke, Executive Director of Innovation and Impact at Eskaton. Therese is a gerontologist, educator, and innovation leader, and she makes a case I keep coming back to: real innovation in senior living doesn't start with AI or robotics — it starts with people and culture. We got into why the words we choose shape how we age, how technology can empower rather than manage decline, and why the best ideas never come out of a conference room.Key Takeaways:Innovation starts with understanding people, not buying technology — the tech is just one tool among many.Language shapes culture: focusing on what people can't do breeds learned helplessness, while focusing on possibility builds empowerment.When care teams help shape a solution, resistance disappears — Eskaton saw adoption climb from 90% to 100% by listening first.Real innovation often isn't a tech problem at all; it's a workflow, communication, or culture problem that has to be solved first.Technology should expand what's still possible for older adults, not just compensate for decline.The best problems aren't solved in a conference room — they're solved by sitting with residents and care partners.Timestamps:[01:30] Welcome and introduction to Therese Ten Brinke[03:20] Therese's story: her Nana, a skilled nursing summer, and a volunteer trip to Costa Rica[06:00] Why the U.S. views aging differently — and her choice to change the narrative[08:05] Innovation begins by understanding people, not buying technology[10:40] Why the best tech partners ask about culture and workflow before pitching[12:30] "Innovation isn't something we buy — it's something we build together"[13:15] How language shapes culture: learned helplessness vs. possibility[15:30] The Sync Labs case study — listening first drove adoption to 100%[21:00] Piloting the right way and solving the real problem[26:25] Building a culture-first organization and the Eskaton Academy[30:50] "One voice": weaving culture through everything, not just compliance[33:05] Technology as a tool of empowerment, not decline[37:30] What older adults have taught her about technology[44:00] Why staff are often more resistant to technology than residents[45:50] What gives her optimism about aging — and her advice: start with your people[51:10] Closing thoughtsNotable Quotes:"Innovation isn't something we buy — it's something we build together.""Technology shouldn't just compensate for what someone has lost. It should expand the possibilities of what remains possible.""The best problems aren't solved in a conference room — they're solved when we're talking to people."Resources & Mentions in This Episode:Eskaton — https://www.eskaton.orgTherese Ten Brinke on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/therese-ten-brinke-b30128299/Eskaton Academy; Sync Labs (AI documentation startup, University of Pennsylvania)Dr. Bill Thomas; Jennifer Carson; LiveWell (Connecticut)'About The Guest: Therese Ten Brinke is the Executive Director of Innovation and Impact at Eskaton, one of Northern California's largest nonprofit senior living organizations. A gerontologist, educator, and innovation leader, she has spent more than 14 years reimagining what aging can look like across AI, robotics, digital health, and person-directed care.

Wie denkt einer der erfolgreichsten Unternehmer unserer Zeit? Und was ist das wahre Erfolgsgeheimnis hinter Sir Richard Branson? In dieser exklusiven Folge nehme ich dich mit hinter die Kulissen von Necker Island, der Privatinsel von Sir Richard Branson auf den British Virgin Islands. Vier Tage voller intensiver Begegnungen, inspirierender Gespräche und überraschender Erkenntnisse – doch die wichtigste Lektion hatte nichts mit Business, Strategie oder Leadership zu tun. Du erfährst: • warum außergewöhnlicher Erfolg nicht aus Verbissenheit entsteht, • welche Rolle Lebensfreude, Neugier und Intuition wirklich spielen, • was ich auf Necker Island über Erfolg, Erfüllung und authentische Führung gelernt habe, • und wie du diese Erkenntnisse direkt auf dein eigenes Leben und Business übertragen kannst. Denn vielleicht folgt Erfolg nicht den Menschen, die ihm hinterherjagen – sondern denen, die das Leben mit ganzem Herzen leben. Erfolg ist kein Zufall. Phoenix Mindset auch nicht.
Last week, all eyes were on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing to lead the Justice Department. Mary and Andrew begin with their takeaways: from Blanche's “evasive, hyper-technical non-responses” to why his close relationship with Donald Trump is problematic, noting a moment where Blanche referred to himself as “his lawyer” and then quickly corrected himself — which Mary called a Freudian slip. They then turn to Trump's Thursday night address, where he claimed that U.S. elections have been compromised for years. Separating fact from fiction, the co-hosts look at how Trump's undermining of public confidence may affect the upcoming midterms. Mary and Andrew also highlight reporting from the New York Times indicating a slew of cases brought by ICE against protesters and immigrants are failing the sniff test in court. Plus, an update on former Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, who recently filed a lawsuit alleging the government and others were part of an effort to suppress criticism of Israel from pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Further Reading: This is the New York Times' reporting on ICE cases falling apart: They Were Charged With Assaulting ICE Agents. The Cases Are Crumbling.

After more than a full year of delay at the legislature, North Carolina finally has a new state budget and as is almost always the case, what the new budget does and doesn't do for public education is among the matters receiving the most attention. The good news is that a lot of teachers will get some decent raises this fall. Unfortunately, the bad news is that those raises don't apply to all teachers or school personnel. What's more, thanks to inflation and the rising cost of health insurance premiums, most teachers remain stuck in the mud financially or even worse off than they were just a couple of years ago. So, what should we make of this situation? Are lawmakers making encouraging strides in lifting up our public schools or is the new budget just the latest in a series of inadequate measures. Newsline caught up with the veteran executive editor of the nonprofit group Public Ed Works, David Rice, to learn more.

Dr. Oz on the New $50 Weight Loss Program, Cracking Down on $2 Billion in Healthcare Fraud, and the "Silent Killer" Warning You Need to Hear Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in America, and the recent death of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has put an even bigger spotlight on the health crisis. Following the tragic passing of Graham—which doctors believe was caused by an aortic tear—CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joined Jessica Rosenthal to deliver a vital health warning about aortic dissections and the "silent killer" that millions of Americans are ignoring: high blood pressure. He explained the importance of knowing your numbers and why hypertension can be so harmful to the heart and other organs. Dr. Oz also broke down the newly launched BRIDGE program, which makes GLP-1 weight-loss drugs affordable for seniors, and explained why he says these medications can save lives and taxpayer dollars. Finally, he shared exclusive details from his latest boots-on-the-ground investigation exposing a massive, multi-billion-dollar Medicare fraud ring, and how the Administration is trying to shut down operations that are siphoning government money.

There is a massive push to revitalize American shipyards, but it's not just about the military—it's an urgent effort to combat the threat posed by weapons hidden in the shipping containers of foreign adversaries. With China currently constructing more than 90% of the world's commercial shipping tonnage while the U.S. builds a mere fraction of a percent, lawmakers warn our national security, and global trade lines are at risk. Indiana Republican Senator Todd Young joins to discuss his bipartisan 'Ships for America Act' and how rebuilding a domestic commercial fleet provides critical "flex capacity" to support the Navy and protect our economy. Plus, Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies Colin Reed joins to discuss how the escalating conflict with Iran and disruptions to the global oil supply could upend the traditional midterm election playbook.

Earlier this week, twelve states filed a lawsuit trying to block Paramount's proposed $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. The lawsuit is trying to argue the merger would eliminate competition in Hollywood and reduce choices for all consumers nationwide. A Paramount-Warner combo would bring together two of Hollywood's last five legacy studios. Paramount says the lawsuit "distorts settled antitrust law" and maintains that a merger would instead create a "stronger competitor against dominant streaming and technology platforms.' FOX's Krystin Goodwin speaks with Jon Leibowitz, antitrust legal counsel to 'Paramount+' and former Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), who says he is confident the merger will boost competition and will offer much more content to viewers.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Brad Holcman—a Hollywood executive-turned-story coach—for an inspiring conversation about the power of story, embracing the unexpected, and using your unique journey to impact the world. Brad's journey is anything but typical: Growing up in Detroit, he followed his heart to California after college, left his management consulting job and worked his way from coffee runs at Paramount to shaping some of television's most memorable shows, including Sons of Anarchy, Intervention, 60 Days In, and Duck Dynasty. Along the way, Brad discovered that the most powerful way to connect, influence, and lead is through authentic storytelling—finding your "$2 bill" story that sets you apart and serves others. In this heartfelt exchange, Brad shares how moments of heartbreak, risk, faith, and family shaped his path—from defying the Hollywood "mountain" mindset to becoming a champion for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to find and share their own unforgettable narratives. He opens up about the lessons he learned in both success and struggle, the real reason story is transformative, and why being "the only"—not just the best—can change lives and organizations. About Brad: Brad Holcman is the founder of The $2 Bill Brand and one of the most unlikely voices in personal branding - a former Hollywood television executive who spent 25 years producing some of the most-watched unscripted television in America. As a 4-time Emmy-nominated executive producer, Brad developed and oversaw hit series across A&E, Fox, CBS, History, Netflix, Hulu, and BET - including 60 Days In, Duck Dynasty, Intervention, Sons of Anarchy, Homeland, Triple Digit Flip, and Zombie House Flipping - accumulating over $1.5 billion in content success. His job, every single day, was one thing: find the one thing that makes a person impossible to ignore and put it on a billboard. In 2024, Brad left the day to day of the entertainment industry to turn the camera around. He realized that the same principles used to build television stars could be used to build business leaders. He saw brilliant entrepreneurs and leaders struggling with obscurity - acting as commodities in crowded markets, competing on price when they should be competing on story. They were dollar bills in a wallet full of dollar bills. Drawing on a tradition taught by his Grandmother Charlotte, Brad created The $2 Bill Method. The $2 bill is the only bill people don't spend. It's the only bill that is memorable. It's the only bill people have a story about. It's not the best bill - it's the ONLY bill. Today, Brad helps entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners go from invisible to unforgettable by finding their ONLY Statement - the one sentence that tells the world why they are the only choice in their market. Through his O.N.L.Y. Framework - Own Your Difference, Narrow Your Focus, Lead With Your Story, You Are the Category - he teaches professionals how to stop sanding down their edges and start building a brand that people never forget. His philosophy is simple: "Don't be the best. Be the only." Beyond his professional work, Brad is a volunteer firefighter who was named Rookie of the Year in his mid-40s after training with the FDNY. He is a proud Midwest kid who moved to Hollywood out of spite - and somehow ended up on the red carpet. He lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with his wife Samantha and their two daughters. He is the creator of findyouronly.app - a free 3-minute assessment that helps entrepreneurs discover their $2 Bill factor and build a brand that people never forget.

Meanwhile, Cardinals legend Adam Wainwright is standing up for St. Louis. After Barstool Sports criticized the Cardinals organization, Busch Stadium, and its fan base, Wainwright fired back by passionately defending Cardinals fans, saying they earned the reputation as "the best fans in baseball" through decades of loyalty and knowledge of the game—not because they gave themselves the title. Tonight, the Cardinals open a key series against the Arizona Diamondbacks looking to continue building momentum in the second half.

A student's zip code should not decide their future. Penelope Barton built a school in 70 countries to prove it.Penelope is the CEO of Crimson Global Academy and co-founder of Crimson Academies, a group of five schools serving students from age five through eighteen, online and in person. Last year her team ran 144,000 classes. Some of her students learn from boats, connected by satellite internet.She grew up in rural New Zealand before the internet, where one teacher covered English, math, and science, and you got whoever you got. That is the problem she has spent six years dismantling.We talk about how she scaled it: starting with two years of high school and one curriculum, then adding learning modes, ages, and countries as students asked for them. She places kids by ability, not age. Seven-year-olds are building apps. A venture capital firm is funding five of her seniors to launch real businesses before graduation. And she just opened a tuition-free school funded directly by the New Zealand government, which took three years of proving results first.She also says something most founders will recognize: the hardest thing she manages is not scale or regulation. It is her own impatience.Chapters:
