If you've been thinking about leaving corporate but the risk feels too big, this episode gives you a smarter way to look at it.Brett sits down with Alex Smereczniak, a former EY consultant who left corporate early, built a high-growth business in the laundry space, and later launched Franzy—a platform designed to make franchising easier to research and navigate.This conversation covers the mindset shift that helps people stop overestimating the risk of leaving, plus why franchising can be an underrated “business with guardrails” path for escapees who want ownership without building from scratch.What we cover • Alex's escape story: college entrepreneurship → EY → leaving after a year and change • The moment that validated his decision: an EY partner's biggest career regret • Why fear is often self-created—and how to get past it • A practical worst-case scenario exercise to reset your risk tolerance • Why franchising is a business model, not an industry • Franzy's concept: “Zillow for buying and selling franchise businesses” • How AI + coaching can narrow thousands of franchise options into a realistic short list • Underrated franchise categories and trends (senior care, home services, turf, and more) • The “corporate is one customer” reframe—and why ownership builds equityKey timestamps (approx.) • 00:00–03:30 – Alex's corporate stint + why he left fast • 03:30–08:30 – The EY exit interview story: “It wasn't my ladder” • 08:30–12:30 – Why making money outside corporate is more possible than people think • 12:30–20:30 – The worst-case scenario exercise (the fear-killer) • 20:30–28:30 – Alex's journey building a scaled laundry business + why franchising clicked • 28:30–33:30 – What franchising actually is (and what most people misunderstand) • 33:30–40:30 – Franchise categories you probably haven't considered • 40:30–46:30 – Equity, control, and why “owning” beats “leasing” your careerBig takeaways • Most people overestimate the risk of leaving corporate. The real risk is staying dependent on one employer. • You don't need a perfect plan. You need small wins and momentum—then you adjust. • Franchising can be a fast path to ownership because you start with a proven playbook, support, and guardrails. • Ownership builds equity. A job pays you, but it doesn't typically create an asset you can sell.Who this episode is for • Corporate pros who want out but feel stuck because of risk, family, or finances • Escapees who want a “business with guardrails” instead of starting from scratch • Anyone curious about franchising beyond the usual fast-food stereotypesResources + links • Franzy https://franzy.com/ • Alex on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-smereczniak-40310329/

Episode 443 "AI Infrastructure & Capital Strategy" w/ Brandon Chicotsky, Ph.D., Texas Senator Tan Parker, John Nichols, and Chase Friedman.  For more information on GBR and how to attend future events, please visit: www.godblessretirement.com Our monthly gatherings aim to offer an informational and positional advantage for attendees, whether de-risking investments or servicing deals. Our events are free, thanks to our strategic partners. Monthly topical gatherings were prompted by a joint family office relationship to meet regional lenders, which has since extended to professionals in service of capital. We invite you to the next topical session. Previously serving in the Texas House, Tan held leading committee roles on policy matters vital to our state. His leadership was instrumental in the unanimous election by his colleagues as chair of the House Republican Caucus during the 84th and 85th legislative sessions. Tan's legislative success touches a broad range of issues facing Texans and serves as a reflection of open dialogue with his constituency. His legislative accomplishments represent his extensive work fostering Texas' economic vitality and protecting our most vulnerable. Tan graduated from the University of Dallas and earned a Master's degree from the London School of Economics before building a distinguished private sector career in technology and private equity. He also created the book, Making Government Work. Tan Parker is a businessman, who grew up in North Texas working in his family's restaurants while volunteering in his community. He married his college sweetheart, Beth, and they moved to Flower Mound, raising their daughters, Lauren and Ashley. While family comes first, Tan considers working for the betterment of Texas the highest honor of his professional life. The bedrock of his service is exemplified through passionate advocacy for community and fighting for common-sense, conservative policies that strengthen Texas's prosperity. John Nichols is a recognized leader in artificial intelligence and innovation, currently serving as the Technology Lead for AI & Innovation within EY's Government & Public Sector (GPS) practice. Passionate about helping public institutions navigate the complexities of digital transformation, John works closely with city governments, state agencies, and public education systems to drive meaningful change through emerging technologies. He has played a key role in developing responsible AI frameworks, advancing the adoption of AI/ML in secure environments, and modernizing infrastructure with cloud-native, compliant solutions. John's work is grounded in a deep commitment to public service and innovation, especially in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. He partners with leaders across government and education to ensure technology is applied in ways that are ethical, scalable, and inclusive. Whether collaborating with CIOs, economic development teams, or innovation labs, John brings a people-first approach rooted in trust, empathy, and a long-term vision for impact. He has spoken on AI at national forums, led executive conversations with state leaders, and partnered with organizations including the White House, Microsoft, and AAAE. John also serves on the board of the Keller Education Foundation and is a strong advocate for AI literacy in underserved communities. At the heart of it all, John is a community builder. He believes the most powerful innovations are those shaped by the needs of the people they serve and he works every day to make that belief real. Chase Friedman is Managing Partner at Alpine Anchor, an AI automation platform making enterprise capabilities accessible to SMBs. With 10 years in sales and solution architecting, he combines technical expertise and business acumen, rapidly architecting solutions. Previously spending weeks building integrations at Venn Technology, he now delivers them in hours. His philosophy: click to deploy, not code—enabling businesses to scale operations without scaling headcount.

In the coming year, renewed attention should be made to explore how governments can shift from simply spending more to spending smarter. Drawing on new insights from the International Monetary Fund and fresh empirical work from OMFIF and EY, we examine why productive public investment remains elusive, what distinguishes high-performing public institutions and how fiscal policies can better support high-productive investment.   Mark MacDonald, global public finance management leader at EY, and Galen Sheer, senior economist, fiscal affairs at the IMF, join Andrea Correa, senior economist at OMFIF, to unpack the practical reforms finance ministries can take, from improving allocative and technical efficiency to building credible evaluation systems, and offer next steps that policy-makers can act on immediately to drive better long-term outcomes.

“Bir gün Peygamber Efendimiz'in huzuruna biri geldi ve “Seni Allah için seviyorum.” dedi. Şu cevabı aldı: “Ohalde, fakri gömlek gibi giy. Belaya sarıl. Öbür âlemde beni bulmak, benimle olmak için yaptıklarımıyapmalısın. Sevginin baş şartı; uymaktır.” Hz. Sıddîk, Peygamber (s.a.v) sevgisine sadık idi. Bütün malınıPeygamber yoluna harcadı. Peygamber'in sıfatına büründü. Hak kapısında Peygamber'e eş oldu. Her şeyidağıttığı zaman, kendisine sarınacak bir aba kalmıştı. Çocukları için, Allah ve Peygamberi'nden başka hiçbirşey ayırmadı. İçini ve dışını Peygamber'in hâline uydurmuştu. Sana gelince, yalancısın. İyi insanların sevgisipara ile ölçülemez. Onların karşısına paranı, altınını çıkarmaktasın. Bu hâlinle onlara yakınlık iddiaediyorsun. Onlara yakın olmayı diliyorsun. Aklını başına al. Bu sevgi yalandır. Seven sevdiğinden bir şeyesirgemez. Sevilen her şeye tercih edilir. Fakr hâli Peygamber (s.a.v) Efendimiz'den ayrılmazdı. Bu sebepleşöyle buyurmuştu: “Fakr hali, beni sevenlere, selden daha çabuk varır.” Hz. Âişe'nin şu sözü önemlidir:“Peygamber hayatta iken dünya bize gülmedi. Daima darlık ve sıkıntılı oldu. Peygamber'in öbür âlemegöçünden sonra üzerimize çöktü.” Peygamberimiz 'in sevgisini kazanma şartı fakr hâlidir. Allah sevgisi için debela şarttır. Bazı büyükler şöyle der: “Her velayet hâlini bela takip eder.” Sebebi, boş yere Allah sevgisi iddiaedilmeye. Öyle olmazsa, riyakâr ve münafıklar da Allah sevgisi iddia eder; belki de davalarınıkazanabilirlerdi. Boş davadan dön. Yalan işleri bırak. Kendi başına tehlikeler çıkarma. Şayet bir dava açmakistiyorsan, ispatlı, delilli olsun. Aksi hâlde ne bizden olursun ne de davayı kazanabilirsin. Altın işlerindenanladığını iddia ederek övünme. Sonra pişman olursun. Utandırırlar; bir şey sorarlar, bilemezsin.Yılan ve yırtıcı hayvanlarla uğraşma. Onlar seni perişan eder. Eğer Havva isen yılana yanaş. Kuvvetinegüveniyorsan, yırtıcı hayvanlarla dalaş.Ey evlat! Münafıkları bırak. Allah'ın azabına kendini atmak isteyenlerden uzak ol. Aklını başına al. Zamaneinsanlarının çoğundan uzak dur. Onlar elbise giymiş kurtlara benzerler. İyi insanlar azdır.Her şeyi sizin için arıyorum. Bana bir şey gelmese de olur. İpimi kuyuya salarım; oradan çıkanı size veririm,ben almam. Beni zengin edecek şeyim var. Sizden hiçbir şey talep etmiyorum. Bana göre çalışmak vardır.Çalışamayacak olursam, tevekkül ederim. Sizin getireceğinize bakmam. Getirmenizi zaten beklemem. Nifaksahipleri sizi bekler; Allah'a güvenmez, sizin vereceğinize dayanır. Allah'ı unutur. Yaratan'a itimat etmez.Kurtuluş istiyorsan, örsümün üstüne yat. Çekicimin vuruş sesleri ile nefsin, şeytanî duyguların ve sana tesireden şeytanî kuvvetlerin beynine sesleneyim. Düşmanlarını korkutayım. Kötü arkadaşlarını kaçırayım.Afetler çoktur; fakat onu indiren bir tanedir. Hastalık sayılamayacak kadardır; ama onun doktoru bir tanedir.Ey nefisleri hasta olanlar. Varlığınızı doktora teslim ediniz. Sizi tedavi ederken onu itham etmeyekalkmayınız. Onun kadar şefkatli olamazsınız. Sizi incitmeden tedavi eder. Nefsinizi o doktor kadarkorumanız kabil değildir. O Aziz tabibin önünde dilinizi tutunuz. Ona taarruz etmeyiniz. O'na teslimolduğunuz takdirde dünya ve âhiretin hayrını bulursunuz.

In this classic episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and Tevon Taylor welcome Gaurav Malhotra, Partner and Supply Chain Technology Leader at EY, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming supply chains today and where it's headed over the next five years. Gaurav shares how EY is helping organizations embrace emerging technologies to create competitive advantage, avoid “pilot purgatory,” and build more cognitive and resilient supply chains.They cover practical misconceptions holding companies back from adopting AI, the foundational elements required for successful implementation, and real-world examples of immediate impact in logistics, predictive maintenance, and warehouse operations. Gaurav also discusses how organizations can invest in workforce education, reskilling, and culture change to ensure that humans remain at the center of AI adoption. Looking ahead, he offers his perspective on how agentic AI will reshape supply chains into adaptive, orchestrated ecosystems while freeing people to focus on creativity, critical thinking, and enterprise differentiation.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(04:13) A personal story family pilgrimage to Kauai(07:34) The intersection of supply chain and humanitarian efforts(09:52) Ey's role in global supply chain(15:20) Misconceptions about AI in factories(18:09) Overcoming pilot paralysis(22:29) Immediate benefits of AI in supply chain(26:25) AI's impact on supply chain efficiency(27:18) The role of agentic AI in factories(31:43) Human element in AI-driven supply chains(36:17) Upskilling and reskilling for the AI era(43:05) Future predictions for AI in supply chainsAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Gaurav Malhotra: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gauravmalhotra/ Learn more about EY: https://www.ey.com/ Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Pat explains why boards are moving beyond awareness and asking more pointed questions about how AI is being deployed, what risks it introduces, and how management teams are addressing them.   Also, be sure to follow us on our social media accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.   Also be sure to sign up for The Audit Podcast newsletter and to check the full video interview on The Audit Podcast YouTube channel.   Timecodes:   1:23 – What's ahead in 2026 4:02 – Board priorities for 2026 7:33 – AI and cybersecurity considerations 12:20 – Emerging risks in 2026 18:20 – How tariffs are shaping corporate investment 22:40 – Governance of AI agents in 2026 28:28 – The AI bubble question 32:11 – Final thoughts   *   This podcast is brought to you by Greenskies Analytics, the services firm that helps auditors leap-frog up the analytics maturity model.

With enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, extension of key Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, and the potential for additional legislative activity this year, alternative asset managers and their stakeholders face new challenges at the international, federal, state and local levels as they wrap up 2025. In this episode, EY tax professionals discuss issues that should be top of mind for alternative asset managers.

Where is AI headed, and how can it drive real growth instead of just efficiency? In this special CES Tech Talk episode, host Melissa Harrison sits down with EY leaders Hyong Kim and Dan Diasio to explore how companies can move beyond cost-cutting and start reinventing their business models with AI. From global adoption challenges to the human skills that will define the future, this episode dives into why mindset matters as much as technology — and what's next for AI at CES.

December 16, 2025: We start with new data from EY showing that workplace culture—specifically how people treat each other—has become the number one reason employees stay at their company, outranking pay, flexibility, and career growth. We then examine growing evidence that AI and remote work may be accelerating loneliness at work, and why that matters in a society already experiencing declining trust, community, and social connection. We also look at why 2026 is shaping up to be a labor market reset rather than a boom or bust, how the U.S. government is rebuilding its internal talent engine to regain institutional capability, what McKinsey's planned layoffs reveal about the unbundling of white-collar work, and what the latest jobs data tells us about where leverage is shifting between employers and employees.

AI advantage is proving to be compounding, not linear. Drawing on new data from OpenAI, Menlo Ventures, EY, and early AI ROI Benchmarking results, this episode explains how leading organizations are pulling away by using AI more intensively, moving beyond time savings into higher-value use cases, and reinvesting gains back into deeper capabilities—creating flywheels that laggards will struggle to catch. In the headlines: real-world AI benchmarks, OpenAI user growth, chip-war intrigue, Oracle earnings, and AI market volatility.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

In this episode of the OnBase podcast, host Paul Gibson sits down with Kate Mackie to unpack why humanizing B2B marketing is no longer optional—and how brand resonance directly impacts modern go-to-market success. Kate shares her journey from agency to EY, revealing why the traditional separation between brand and demand no longer works in today's complex, elongated B2B buying cycles.She explains why trust is a brand's most valuable currency, how buying groups have doubled in size, and why marketers must deliver consistent yet human experiences across every GTM motion. From aligning sales and marketing, to building creative consistency without losing personalization, to proving brand impact on revenue, this episode is a masterclass in modern enterprise marketing.Kate also explores the disruptions defining today's market, how AI will accelerate personalization, and why human differentiation will matter more as buyers increasingly use AI as part of their research process.Key TakeawaysBrand and demand work as one spectrumBrand builds broad awareness and trust; demand converts that trust into action. Separating them weakens both.Buying groups have doubled in sizeEnterprise decisions now involve 15 people, meaning brands must influence far more stakeholders, many of whom never speak to sales.Human-centered branding drives trustEmotional relevance and clear purpose help companies stay top-of-mind through long, nonlinear buying cycles.Overconsistency reduces relevanceRigid, one-size-fits-all branding prevents teams from tailoring messages to different roles, needs, and motivations.Alignment across brand, GTM, and sales is criticalDisconnected campaigns and target lists create massive audience wastage and inconsistent buyer experiences.Customer expansion offers the quickest winsBuilding brand trust with existing clients is cheaper, faster, and often more impactful than new-customer acquisition.Measurement must combine brand and demand signalsBrand salience requires tracking awareness, consideration, social listening, and pre/post lift, not just revenue metrics.AI accelerates personalization but needs guardrailsAI can tailor creativity at scale, but only when backed by strong segmentation, a clear brand truth, and human oversight.Human differentiation will matter more as buyers use AIAs customers rely on AI for research, human experience, emotion, and trust become the true competitive advantage.Marketers must speak the language of the C-suiteTo secure buy-in, brand value must be tied directly to commercial outcomes, not marketing jargon.Quotes“Brand and demand are one and the same. It's just the difference between talking to a mass audience or a targeted one.”“When buyers use AI as part of their research, the human experience becomes the biggest differentiator.”Resource RecommendationsB2B Marketing Fundamentals, a book by Kate MackieWiredShout-OutsJennifer Aaker, General Atlantic Professo at Stanford University Graduate School of BusinessCaroline Day, Global Director, B2B Institute at LinkedInDenise Persson, CMO at SnowflakeAbout the GuestKate Mackie is a Partner (EYGP LLP) and the Global Marketing Lead at the global EY organization.

Most lawyers can give advice on six-figure deals.But many can't say, with confidence, how much they actually earn.Silence around money isn't just awkward — it's expensive.And for many lawyers, it's keeping them financially stuck.Today's episode digs into a quiet cultural norm in the legal profession that shapes careers, mental health, and long-term financial stability: salary secrecy.I'm joined by Jono Randell-Nash, ex-lawyer turned independent financial advisor for lawyers,and Carla Hoppe, former corporate solicitor, ex-Director of International Tax & Transaction Services at EY, and founder of Wealthbright, an award-winning financial education partner helping law firms build financially confident lawyers.We explore the culture of not asking, not questioning, and not talking about money in law firms — and the emotional, practical, and financial damage this silence creates.You'll hear insights on:Why salary secrecy persists in UK legal cultureHow lack of information fuels anxiety, especially for new lawyersThe link between protected characteristics and poorer financial healthWhy financial capability depends more on education than intelligence or backgroundHow gender, mental health, and socioeconomic status shape financial outcomesThe dangers of default pensions and why the “six-figure tick box” can cost you £100,000+Why understanding risk profiles, insurance, and emergency funds should come before “the sexy stuff” like investingHow comparison culture distorts what “wealth” actually meansWhy the obsession with six-figure salaries blinds people to what actually builds long-term financial wellbeingThis conversation sheds light on a problem many lawyers suffer quietly — and provides a starting point for taking control of your financial future with clarity, confidence, and honesty.Find Carla here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlahoppe/Find Jono here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jono-randell-nash/More about Wealthbrite: https://www.wealthbrite.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

Billy breaks down: • Why decentralized information is the next frontier beyond DeFi • How Intuition's decentralized knowledge graph lets humans and AI trust the same data • Why tokenized information, decentralized search, and identity will reshape society • What lessons from Ethereum's early days shaped his vision • How Intuition gives users ownership & monetization rights over their data • Why centralized AI + search could lead to a dystopian future — and how we prevent it If you're building in Web3, AI, DeFi, decentralized identity, or data infrastructure, this episode gives a rare look into the architecture and philosophy behind one of the most ambitious projects in the Web3 space. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the reasons I love hosting this show is simple — it allows me to meet fascinating people, hear their stories, and learn from their experiences without traveling the world to do it. Technology gives us access to brilliant minds we'd never cross paths with otherwise. Today's guest is Dr. Lance Mortlock — a professor, managing partner at EY, bestselling author, mountaineer, and proud husband and dad. But what stood out most wasn't the résumé… it was the journey behind it.

Secretary Juan Pablo Segura joins BioTalk for a conversation about Virginia's growing position in the biohealth economy and the statewide strategy behind it. He outlines the significance of the new partnership with AstraZeneca, Lilly, and Merck, including up to $120 million in private investment to create a workforce development center and expand the Commonwealth's life sciences capacity. Segura talks through how Virginia approaches company recruitment, what investors are responding to, and why the state is seeing increased interest from biomanufacturing and advanced R&D companies. He also discusses Virginia's use of public-private partnerships to accelerate industry growth, strengthen the talent pipeline, and support emerging hubs across the Commonwealth. The conversation closes with a look at Virginia's role in the BioHealth Capital Region and how the regional identity helps amplify the state's message as it continues building a competitive biohealth ecosystem.   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com).

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Ulrich (Uli) Homann, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft, and Mark Luquire, EY Global Microsoft Alliance Co-innovation Leader, about how to build an agentic AI enterprise that doesn't just work faster, but works smarter and, most importantly, works for everyone. KEY TAKEAWAYS In the past automation has been very task driven and specific, things had to go in a certain order and you needed to know that order ahead of time. While you need some of that with generative AI, we now have a system that can help do some of that thinking, so if things change in the process along the way, you can deal with it. Now you can rethink what processes even need to exist and focus on the outcome and how to get to it in a new way.  By giving everyone at EY access to generative AI a couple of years ago we learned that people were able to accomplish more more quickly. They used it as a thought-partner, used it as a way to fine tune the product they were working on. Being able to see the evolution of generative AI to now where it's coding applications on its own almost, seeing the new agent capabilities and tools, and being able to take action on its own with very little prompting, it opens the doors to possibilities and what you'll be able to do in the future.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘Focus on where you want to be and then rethink how you're going to get there, that's the real key.' ‘It's not just an assistant to you, providing you with information, it's actually taking on work it's actually thinking through and processing those things as well.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Ulrich (Uli) Homann is a Corporate Vice President & Distinguished Architect in the Cloud + AI business at Microsoft.

Prior to joining Microsoft in 1991, he worked for several small consulting companies, where he designed and developed distributed systems and has spent most of his career using well-defined applications and architectures to simplify and streamline the development of business applications.
