How is AI Transforming Go To Market for B2B SaaS? Inbound go-to-market for SaaS is undergoing a major transformation. What once relied on blog posts, lead magnets, and cold outreach is now powered by artificial intelligence. AI is no longer just a content assistant. It now fuels end-to-end workflows, drives strategy, qualifies leads, and personalizes outreach at scale. SaaS teams are deploying AI agents to track LinkedIn signals, automate follow-ups, and even manage outbound efforts. This evolution is unlocking new levels of speed and scale, but it also brings real risks if automation isn't carefully managed. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, Maja Voje breaks down how AI is reshaping inbound GTM. She shares what's working today, where teams should stay hands-on, and how to build AI-assisted systems without losing the human connection that still drives trust in B2B. If you're building or scaling a SaaS product, this is your playbook for doing it smarter with AI.Key Timecodes(0:00) - Boosting AI Content Performance & Automating Founder Workflows(0:53) - What Is AI's Role in SaaS GTM?

This episode continues our study of the Mishnah Berurah on the laws of healing on Shabbos. We explore bloodletting, blood clots, and their connection to modern blood pressure, when treatment is life-threatening versus when it can wait. The halachic status of eye conditions is examined, showing why eye disease is treated more seriously than other ailments. We discuss external wounds, the role of doctors versus the patient's own testimony, and principles of pikuach nefesh — prioritizing life even in cases of doubt. Guidance is given on whether treatments should be performed by Jews, non-Jews, or with a shinui, and the balance between urgency and minimizing melachah. The episode concludes with practical insights from contemporary poskim about medicine and emergency care on Shabbos.Shabbos, Shabbat, Mishnah Berurah, halacha, pikuach nefesh, healing, medicine, bloodletting, blood pressure, blood clots, eye conditions, external wounds, Jewish law, emergency care, doctors on Shabbos, patient testimony, shinui, life-saving, antibiotics, hilchos Shabbos, Orthodox Judaism

The Missing Piece in Digital Ministry: Churches Skip Strategy Between Theology and PracticeIn the final episode of our mini-series on Communications, Joel, Digital Pastor at Soul Revival Church, shares at the inaugural Virtual Church Assist Conference how Soul Revival's digital ministry has grown over the last five years—and the key factor behind it: a consistent and solid ministry framework.He talks about how Soul Revival's Theology → Strategy → Practice framework that has allowed he and the team to produce podcasts, coordinate content, and engage communities online in a meaningful way. The piece many churches and ministries miss is a well thought out, well articulated strategy—most skip straight from Theology to Practice, which can limit impact and effectiveness.Joel walks through how to connect digital efforts with core biblical convictions, build intergenerational relationships, and create authentic, engaging content—all guided by a clear strategy. Whether you're looking to strengthen your church's online presence or rethink how ministry fits together from Theology to Practice, this talk provides practical insights and ideas to implement immediately.Let us know: “How does your ministry framework connect your theology to the practice of serving your community?”0:00 – Welcome & Introduction1:20 – Thanks to Sam & VCA, first-time speaking, intention of the talk3:10 – About Joel & Soul Revival Church4:30 – Background in youth ministry, joining staff in 20205:50 – Family & personal context7:00 – Digital Ministry: Early Years & COVID7:40 – Pre-recording podcasts & early content9:10 – Streaming all six gatherings during first lockdown10:50 – Adapting to podcast-style format in second lockdown12:30 – Week Away Online: experimenting with virtual ministry14:20 – Key lessons learned from early experimentation16:00 – Iterative Approach to Branding & Digital Content16:40 – Chip Lunch Podcast evolution & rebrand18:20 – Apparel lines & website relaunch as part of ministry practice20:00 – Ministry Framework Overview20:30 – Theology → Strategy → Practice explained22:10 – Why Strategy is often missing23:30 – Concrete example: Soul Revival Church strategy25:00 – Relational Distinctives & Intergenerational Ministry25:40 – Friendship, low-key long-term relational focus27:20 – Intergenerational gatherings & inclusivity29:00 – Ministry Teams, Meals & Third Space Community29:40 – Teams prevent burnout & encourage collaboration31:10 – Meals as relational practice32:30 – Third space community & welcoming new people34:00 – Practice of Digital Ministry34:30 – External-to-internal continuum35:40 – Providing value: authentic, insightful, entertaining content37:10 – Example: Chip Lunch Podcast storytelling & engagement39:00 – Questions to Guide Your Ministry39:30 – Theology: How Jesus changes ministry40:20 – Strategy: Aligning practice with convictions41:10 – Practice: Flexibility & experimentation42:00 – Practical Tips & Closing Thoughts42:30 – “What rockets could you blow up?” – experimentation43:20 – Encouragement to work on ministry, not just in it44:00 – Thanks & conclusion

Send us a textIn this follow-up episode on succession planning, Stuart and Mena explore the second path: selling your business to an external buyer. Unlike a transition strategy, this approach involves a clean break, often preferred by owners seeking speed, lifestyle change, risk reduction, or when no internal successors are available. Mena begins by outlining the different types of buyers: strategic buyers (such as competitors looking to scale), financial buyers (like private investors or P/E firms), and the key distinctions between industry insiders and outsiders. Stuart then breaks down what buyers are actually purchasing, whether assets or shares, and explains why this matters for both tax outcomes and deal structure.Next, Mena shares what makes a business attractive to buyers, including having strong systems, clear profitability trends, clean structures, and staff retention strategies. These elements take time to build, which is why business owners should begin preparing 2–3 years in advance. Stuart closes with a look at common pitfalls, like poor planning, unrealistic earn-out clauses, and lack of professional advice, and highlights how communication with staff and clients can make or break a successful sale.This episode is essential listening for business owners considering an exit. Whether it's a transition or sale, early planning gives you the power to choose the best path forward.If this episode resonated with you, please leave a rating on your favourite podcast platform.

In July, we discussed our visit to the Hexagon event at Mills CNC, where Hexagon's Nexus platform was shown. The event also alluded to how Pro Plan AI demonstrated 70 to 75% programming productivity improvements. With such impressive statistics and other products on show, we wanted to dig a little deeper into the production intelligence solutions. By Rhys Williams Real-Time Production Intelligence with Datanomics Zoltan Tomoga, Product Manager for Hexagon's Production Software Business Unit, detailed Datanomics' comprehensive approach to production monitoring, emphasising its zero-operator-input design that sets it apart from competing solutions. “Most machine monitoring solutions require the operator to tell the solution why the machine is stuck. The problem is, if you've got a big list of reasons, operators will often select the first one, always a broken tool, as opposed to the coolant or whatever. Whereas Datanomics is completely no operator input.” The system's connectivity architecture enables comprehensive data collection without disrupting workflow. “Each machine has an Ethernet port that will connect to a network, and then you can pull information off of it, as well as push information to it. With our CAM software, we typically push the program through the Ethernet,” Zoltan noted. Datanomics serves three distinct user categories with targeted interfaces designed for specific operational needs. For management, ‘you are mainly interested in OEE. You want to see how much of your shop is utilised.' The primary focus targets shop floor managers who require intelligence: “Every morning at six, we send out the coffee cup report, so when they arrive, the night shift is still there. They can open a report, see what's happened and talk to relevant operators.” The Factory Mate AI enhancement offers instant problem diagnosis capabilities, enabling immediate corrective action. “A shop floor manager just arrived at the factory. There was one machine which didn't perform very well. They hit the factory mate icon, and it will give them the top three downtime events. In this case, we were waiting for an operator. That was the second one as well, and the machine was stuck,” Zoltan demonstrated. For process engineers requiring deeper analysis, Datanomics offers comprehensive historical data capabilities that facilitate continuous improvement initiatives. “In EdgeCAM, if I generate an NC code, I can put what EdgeCAM says is going to be the cycle time. However, if the feed override, or the rapid wasn't set to 100%, it might start to differ. The target for one part was 56 minutes, but we are actually running on 59 minutes recently. However, Datanomics thinks we could run that part in 45 minutes and improve on efficiency,” Zoltan explained, demonstrating how the system identifies specific optimisation opportunities. Tooling insights provide strategic procurement intelligence. “You will see which tool you use the most, and make a decision if you want to adjust speeds and feeds on that tool.” Benchmarking Progress: Quantifying Industry Digital Maturity The benchmarking initiative previously discussed in MTD May Issue with Jason Walker, Hexagon's VP of General Manufacturing, has collected substantial industry data over twelve months, revealing concerning gaps in digital adoption across manufacturing operations. The results confirmed extensive manual processes that create competitive disadvantages. “More than half of manufacturers are still using a manual process, which typically involves whiteboards and Excel spreadsheets and a lot of manual planning,” Walker revealed. Most of the upstream processes for winning work, like quoting and planning, are very much done manually.” Production intelligence gaps create significant profitability challenges for manufacturers who are unable to track actual versus planned performance. “Understanding the utilisation of the machines on the shop floor probably comes all the way back to the quoting process and understanding the profitability of your business, because if you're quoting that a part is going to take two hours to machine, and you have no traceability to see who did that part or whether that batch of 1000 parts did actually take two hours each. Or did they run at two hours and five minutes, which makes a large difference over the batch,” Walker explained. The competitive implications of slow processes are significant for business sustainability. “Ultimately, many of these companies, when they are winning the work, it's because they've under-quoted on a job which further erodes their profitability,” Walker observed. External pressures are accelerating transformation requirements. “Lockheed Martin has a model-based enterprise playbook for suppliers. Lockheed are actively saying to their supply chain, if you aren't going to adopt these new technologies that are going to allow you to manage the digital thread through the digital models that we're going to provide you with, then ultimately, you will be losing out on work in the future,” Walker shared, demonstrating how OEMs are making digital transformation mandatory. Quantifying Digital Transformation Benefits The event demonstrated how digital manufacturing solutions deliver measurable business improvements across multiple operational areas that justify investment through concrete returns. The integration of solutions presented in Part One—Nexus connectivity, Pro Plan AI programming acceleration, and Paperless Parts quoting automation—creates compounded benefits when combined with real-time production intelligence from Datanomics. Pro Plan AI's 70 to 75% reduction in programming time enables manufacturers to complete days of work in mere minutes while capturing institutional knowledge from experienced programmers. This capability, combined with Mills CNC's DNX 2100 launch aimed at reducing setup time, exemplifies an industry-wide shift towards efficiency optimisation. Paperless Parts transforms quote-to-cash cycles from week-long manual processes into 24 to 48 hour automated workflows, enabling customers to secure 25% more business through quicker response times. The platform removes resource constraints by alleviating quoting burdens from owners and managers. Datanomics provides real-time production intelligence without requiring operator input. This enables shop floor managers to identify and resolve issues through immediate problem diagnosis and historical trend analysis. The system's ability to compare target and actual cycle times reveals optimisation opportunities, such as identifying potential efficiency improvements. The benchmarking data reveals that over half of manufacturers still rely on manual processes for critical business functions. Looking Forward: Measuring Manufacturing's Digital Future The convergence of AI-driven programming, automated quoting systems, and real-time production intelligence generates combined benefits that surpass the capabilities of individual solutions. Manufacturers adopting comprehensive digital workflows can realise simultaneous enhancements in quote win rates, programming productivity, and production efficiency while tackling workforce challenges through knowledge capture and skills augmentation. Hexagon's platform approach allows manufacturers to implement digital transformation incrementally, measuring benefits at each stage while working towards comprehensive integration. The partnership with Mills CNC illustrates how technology providers and equipment manufacturers can collaborate to achieve measurable business outcomes that justify digital investment through quantifiable improvements in productivity and profitability. Concrete business metrics will measure success in this digital transformation: quicker quote turnaround, higher win rates, reduced programming time, improved production efficiency, and enhanced workforce productivity. Manufacturers achieving these measurable improvements—through solutions like those demonstrated at the Mills CNC Technology Campus—will define the competitive landscape for the next decade of industrial production. Meanwhile, those failing to adapt risk losing business to more digitally capable competitors as customer requirements continue to evolve towards integrated digita

Build Innovation Teams That Thrive in Ambiguity Human Ingenuity: Clever, Inventive and Fearless Thinking Episode 271 (Ken is based in the Greater Toronto Area) In this conversation we explore… why innovation often stalls in organizations the difference between innovation, entrepreneurship, and ingenuity how to measure and manage openness to ambiguity why diversity of thought and background is essential for innovation how leadership roles should rotate during the innovation cycle why bias is the greatest barrier to new thinking the role of students and external control groups in innovation the difference between simple, complex, and wicked challenges why human ingenuity requires clever, inventive, and fearless thinking how the 90% Rule honors the past while pushing toward the future ----- About our guest, Ken Tencer: Ken is a long time entrepreneur, author and global speaker. He is completing a doctorate in human ingenuity - clever, inventive an fearless thinking in the faces of wicked challenges (incomplete information, ambiguity, and uncertainty) Ken works with organizations to help them identify and resolve their wicked challenges, (strategy, team development and tactics). Learn more and contact him at:   https://sayhitothefuture.ca/ ----- Key Learning Points Innovation requires three dimensions: innovation (process), entrepreneurship (team), and ingenuity (thinking). Ambiguity is a core skill: successful innovation teams must measure and embrace tolerance for ambiguity. Diversity fuels innovation: variety in backgrounds, perspectives, and disciplines prevents groupthink. Leadership should rotate: the right leader shifts depending on the stage of the innovation cycle. Bias is the biggest barrier: more than money or time, it blocks new thinking. External voices help: student or alumni “control groups” bring fresh, unbiased perspectives. Understand the three challenge types: simple, complex, and wicked — each requires different approaches. Human ingenuity demands fearlessness: decisions must be made even without certainty. The 90% Rule: honor the past while pushing forward to the next 10%. Future readiness means “saying hi to the future”: embracing macro trends, empathy, and new thinking tools. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

If you're feeling drained despite all your efforts to manage your time and boundaries, you're probably making these three critical mistakes that are actually robbing you of the very energy you're trying to preserve. This episode reveals why your current strategies are backwards and what to focus on instead. Mistake #1: Waiting for Others to ChangeThe biggest energy drain is believing that other people or circumstances changing is the solution to feeling better. You're living in "when then" mode. When your partner changes, when you have more time, when your kids are older, when you get a new job, THEN you'll have energy for yourself.This is giving away your power entirely.External circumstances changing doesn't automatically give you more energy or make you prioritize yourself better.If you believe your husband, kids, or schedule needs to change before you can feel better, you're putting yourself in a powerless position where forces outside of you control your wellbeing. That costs you massive amounts of energy because you're fighting what you can't control. Mistake #2: Thinking It's a Time Management ProblemThis is like slapping lipstick on a pig. You're looking for a solution to the wrong problem.Time management is easy when you know how you're prioritizing your time and what needs to get done. No system or strategy is going to give you more energy. The people Lisa works with are some of the most productive people she's ever met. They're so productive they don't even realize they're over-functioning way beyond what they need to do in a day.Here's what's really happening: you create organized systems and free up space, then immediately fill that space back up because you're uncomfortable with calm. You say you want more time and energy, but you're actually more committed to filling that time because you feel calm in the chaos.It takes serious nervous system regulation to get comfortable being calm in the calm. Most people feel more comfortable in chaos than in peace, so they'll always create things to bring them back to busyness. Mistake #3: Using Worry as a Problem-Solving StrategyThis is where Lisa gets really honest about her own patterns. Worrying and focusing on the problem as a way to fix the problem. Many of Lisa's clients have unraveled the belief that there's even a problem when often what they find is they've created a problem where none existed.Consider what worry is giving you. Many of us learned that the more we worry, the more responsible we're being about handling things. But where did you learn that worry was the way to solve problems? You get more of what you focus on.Lisa shares her personal example with money worry. She didn't have a money problem she had a worry-about-money problem. She spent tremendous energy worrying about debt, asking herself how she'd pay it off, if she'd be okay. Then she developed a strategy to break the worry cycle. Lisa's Worry-Breaking StrategyShe started asking herself: "Is anything different today from yesterday?" The answer was always no. "Did you spend all day yesterday worrying?" Yes. "Did that change anything?" No. "Is anything different today?" No. "Did anything bad happen yesterday?" No.Day after day after day, she had evidence that worrying wasn't changing anything and nothing bad was actually happening. No bill collectors showed up. Nobody took her car. Nothing bad was happening. In that moment, she'd tell herself to stop spending energy worrying and put that energy into being responsible for doing things that would support the outcome she wanted.If something had changed when she asked those questions, it still came back to: what do I need to take responsibility for in this moment? Then she'd do that thing and move on. Ready to break these energy-draining patterns and create sustainable energy that supports your extraordinary life?

External appearances can be deceiving. Jesus teaches us that true value isn't measured by wealth, status, or public piety - but by the heart behind our actions.Are we motivated by pride, greed, and hypocrisy? Or do we embody humility, sacrifice, and reliance on God?Today, let's examine our hearts and ask: What truly weighs more in God's eyes? A widow's humble copper coins or the showy donations of the wealthy?Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

Exiting a business can be one of the most rewarding moments of an entrepreneur’s journey—or one of the most costly mistakes if handled poorly. Many sellers unknowingly leave hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars, on the table simply because they aren’t prepared for the exit process. Jaryd Krause speaks with Domenic Rinaldi, a seasoned M&A advisor and owner of Sun Acquisitions, who has successfully guided over 500 business transactions. As the founder of K2 Advisor, Domenic specializes in helping business owners understand exactly what it takes to execute a profitable and stress-free exit. Together, they break down the biggest mistakes sellers make when exiting their businesses and how to avoid them. You’ll discover: ✔️ How owner involvement and single-source dependencies can destroy your business valuation ✔️ Why many sellers are blindsided by market shifts, tariffs, and environmental changes ✔️ The critical role of value drivers and how to identify them before going to market ✔️ What can go catastrophically wrong during a deal—and how the right advisory team can prevent it ✔️ Why you should always be “exit ready,” even if selling isn’t on your immediate horizon If you’re preparing to sell your business—or simply want to protect the value you’ve built—this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you exit on top.

This episode explores the powerful role identity and labels play in the life of a pet sitter. Too often, we adopt labels given by clients, colleagues, or even ourselves—like “just a dog walker”—without questioning if they reflect our full value. We discuss how external and internal labels shape confidence, pricing, and client relationships, and how narrowing our identity increases the risk of burnout. Practical reflection exercises help reframe limiting labels and uncover hidden strengths that influence both business and personal growth. At the heart of it all is this reminder: you are valuable not because of your revenue or role, but simply because you are you. Main Topics Labels that shape our identity External vs. internal labels Reframing limiting self-talk Confidence in pricing and value Avoiding burnout through perspective Main takeaway: “You are valuable because you are you.” This reminder goes beyond business, beyond the labels others give us, and even beyond the titles we cling to for security. Too often, we define ourselves by how others see us or by how much money our business makes. But your worth isn't tied to revenue, reviews, or the number of clients you serve. You bring value simply by being who you are—your experiences, your passions, your personality, and your humanity. When we remember this, our confidence grows, our pricing reflects our true worth, and our client relationships deepen. Never forget: I am is a complete sentence.

Love Isn't Always Easy. Love Costs Something. Love Sees Beyond the External. Love Isn't Always Easy Loving someone can be risky and difficult. It takes vulnerability and can be hard. 1 Cor 13:4-7. Loving someone is easy when people are nice but can be quite a challenge when there is tension, disagreement, or pride involved. Luke 19:1-10. Jesus' was judged for his association with people that others viewed as “sinners” and “unclean”. Love Costs Something Loving someone often requires sacrifice and giving of yourself in ways that are not preferred (or undesirable). John 15:9-13, 17. Jesus commanded his followers to love each other as he loved them and to be willing to sacrifice everything. John 13:1-15, 34-35. The example Jesus left his disciples is to be willing to do the lowest task in serving each other. By loving each other in this way, you will make known to other people that you are Christ's disciples. Love Sees Beyond the External Appearances can be deceiving. What is on the outside is not what is important, but what is on the inside is what matters. 1 Samuel 16:1-12. As humans, we can get caught up with thinking about how things look and miss the more important traits of who a person is. Romans 2:11. God does not show favoritism but welcomes everyone to come to Him through His Son, Jesus. John 4:1-30. Jesus' disciples only saw a Samaritan woman and missed the whole point of what was happening.The post Film Series 2: How to Train Your Dragon and Christian Love first appeared on Living Hope.

As part our our How To Do Tāntrik Pūjā lecture series, we've recently been exploring the topic of mānasa pūjā, or Mental Worship vs External Worship by looking at theMantra for Mental Worship | Mānasa Pūjā which if you recall, is the mantra we used in this talk How To Worship Mā Kālī Mentally (Mānasa Pūjā)! Now, I often argue that cultivating of our inner world through techniques such as mānasā pūjā (which is part of a broader practice in the Tāntrik tradition called bhāvanā orcreative, dynamic visualization) is The Most Important Spiritual Resource. The quality of our so-called "external reality" is wholly determined by our inner state since the world is nothing but an appearance within Consciousness! As such, interiorized practices like this are so wonderful for refining our inner state and aligning it with the Absolute. But Mānasa-pūjā is also very helpful in the context of Kālī sādhana for doing things like Substituting the Pañcamakāras, Forbidden Offerings & also for  Substituting Animal Sacrifice & Other Transgressive Offerings in Kālī Worship for those whose temperament might not lean this way and who might still want to participate somehow in these more vīra-bhāva-esque practices that come with the territory. So having given so many lectures now on the beauty and importance of mānasa-pūjā, I wanted to spend a little time in this talk reminding us why external rituals are also so important! After all, Tantra is essentially, ritualism! Often, when we understand something of interior worship, we might become very quick to dismiss external forms! And in truth, this is also a valid approach and this what the Samaya-marga or "right hand path" in Tantra tries to do. And in one sense, the Kaula marga is more likely to emphasize externals since in the Kaula view, the "external" is nothing but God embodied! And since we tend to lean towards the latter approach in our community, I first present some arguments for the importance of externals before presenting two very important techniques in tantra that complement external worship: substitution and interiorization!Jai Mā!Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM
