Podcasts about Fis

Die Blicke der Skisprungszene richteten sich am vergangenen Wochenende nach Hinterzarten - und deshalb haben auch wir in der Flugshow uns die Geschehnissen dort genauestens angesehen. Host Luis Holuch, der als Livestream-Kommentator für die FIS im Einsatz war, blickt mit Expertin Ulrike Gräßler auf einen guten Auftritt des deutschen Teams beim Heimspiel im (I-)COC im Hochschwarzwald zurück, aber auch auf das Wechselbad der Gefühle bei den Prevc-Geschwistern Nika und Domen und eine schier unendlich starke und breite Mannschaft bei den Österreichern.In eigener Sache:Wir stehen kurz vor der 250. Ausgabe der Flugshow-Geschichte. Anlässlich dieses Jubiläums soll es auch dieses Jahr wieder eine ...

Raúl Calleja y Lucía Frías desgranan las claves del FIS 2026, que se celebra en el Estadio Metropolitano con BBVA como patrocinador principal.

Welcome to episode 87 of The Ski Instructor Podcast, this week featuring Dave Morris. Dave was on my original scrappy bit of paper list of people I wanted to speak to and it's taken us this long to get it together to finally sit down and talk - and I'm so glad that we actually did. We had great chat talking about subjects like how to find the gains that make FIS athletes better, why the Eurotest and what you learn about yourself when you go through that process, as well as what makes for good skiing and chasing FIS points. This was a great chat and I am grateful to have had the chance to share in Dave's vast knowledge.

The Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and the OCC issued a clarification on bank oversight of core processing providers and other critical vendors. The interagency statement outlines expectations for third-party risk management, including due diligence, contracting, ongoing monitoring, and exit planning. It emphasizes that banks remain accountable for compliance and highlights contract terms such as audit rights, service-level agreements, incident notification timelines, data ownership, and termination assistance. The agencies note coordinated examinations of service providers through the FFIEC to align supervisory expectations. The concentration of core providers like Fiserv, FIS, and Jack Henry raises operational and negotiation risks, prompting banks to revisit contracts and reporting. Fintechs and Banking-as-a-Service partners should expect longer procurement and deeper control reviews, including SOC 2 reports, penetration testing, and financial resilience documentation.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Teller Cash Recyclers began as simpler teller cash machines, helping tellers more quickly count and store cash. They then evolved into cash recyclers, able to manage multiple cash cassettes and recycle customer deposits for withdrawals. Over time, they seen further improvements such as larger capacity and vault features.At the same time, many banks chose to use older TCRs or even rebuy older models, which can cause costs on both the customer and employee experience side. Cook Solutions group joined ATM Marketplace on today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience podcast to discuss why these old TCRs can cost banks in the long term and how banks should address TCR strategy more broadly.Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace, moderated the discussion with Katilyn Bridgers-Petrie, strategic solutions manager, and Scott Fieber, chief strategy officer at Cook Solutions Group.Fieber discussed how, for many banks, they allow TCRs to fall by the wayside, continuing to purchase legacy devices, as they view them as a commodity.One reason for that is that many FIs do not assign a C-level individual to oversee the TCR fleet, or, as Bridgers-Petrie discussed, "they had one 10 to 20 years ago, but roles changed over time, and the TCR fell by the wayside."Fieber mentioned several potential downsides of older machines, such as:Increased downtimes.Lost customer experience.More difficulty retaining staff.Once banks identify the need for a new TCR or strategy in place, Fieber recommended that they get everyone involved, including vendors and the decision makers into a strategic workshop to brainstorm ideas on how to manage rollout, and must-have technologies that deliver a stronger ROI.Bridgers-Petrie gave a few examples of must-have technology such as "self-auditing."She added that self-auditing means that "tellers are no longer having to spend time after hours to balance machines, audit all of your cash, you now have your TCR to do all of that for you. And with some manufacturers, you can do that completely unattended. You can have that done within the safe and no one is having to monitor that after hours like they previously done. That alone is a game changer and a big hit on the ROI."To hear more, listen to the rest of the podcast above.

In this episode of HFS GCC Advantage, Ramkumar Narayanan, EVP, Enterprise AI and Data Platforms, and Head of FIS India and the Philippines, shares how FIS is turning its GCC into a strategic engine for AI, platform innovation, and business growth. The conversation explores how a mature GCC can move beyond execution to ownership, create enterprise value, and help shape the future of work in a regulated financial services environment. Ramkumar also explains why AI transformation and workforce resilience must advance together, and how India and the Philippines centers are becoming central to FIS's long-term growth strategy.What you'll hear:How FIS serves the banking, payments, and capital markets ecosystemWhy India and the Philippines are strategic GCC centers for FISHow the organization is shifting from application-centric work to platform-centric AIWhy reusable AI foundations help reduce rework and duplicationHow governance is being embedded into code for scale and complianceWhy AI investments must begin with real business problemsHow GCCs can move from execution to enterprise outcome ownershipWhy workforce resilience must advance alongside AI transformationHow GCCs can unlock workflow intelligence to support AI redesignWhat leaders should do to stay aligned with the shifting company strategyKey takeaways:GCCs create more value when they own outcomes, not just tasksPlatform-first AI is more scalable than one-off experimentsGovernance built into code helps regulated enterprises move faster with confidenceAI transformation and workforce transformation must happen togetherGCCs hold unique workflow knowledge that can shape enterprise AIMature GCCs should align closely with the CEO and company prioritiesTo know more about HFS on Global Capability Centers (GCCs), visit us here: https://www.hfsresearch.com/global-capability-centers-gccs/ We recently launched our GCC Pulse Report, “Ownership is the next imperative for India's GCCs to become generative enterprises.” Read more here: https://www.hfsresearch.com/research/indias-gcc-pulse-index/

AI is changing the fraud landscape on both ends of the spectrum: Fraudsters can use AI to increase the intricacy and polish of their exploits and FIs can use AI to identify scammers in near real-time.But AI progress marches on and FIs must continually reevaluate and refine their methods for combating fraud, Jennifer Pitt, senior analyst of fraud and security at Javelin Strategy & Research, tells FinAi News on this episode of the “FinAi Podcast.”"A lot of organizations that I speak to on a daily basis [are] only looking at the fraud that we're seeing right now, and I think that's the problem that we need to address," she says. "We can't only look at the fraud that we're seeing right now. We have to be able to try to anticipate what fraud might be occurring."FIs need to be able to "think like a criminal," Pitt says, to anticipate the next uses of AI for fraud, especially as models such as Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol expand capabilities. "We need to look at all the fraud that's actually happening — not only within each ecosystem, but the whole fraud landscape," she says. That means implementing the latest technologies, including AI, Pitt says. Concerns about implementation costs and preserving consumer trust may cause some FIs to hesitate before implementing new tech. However, FIs will pay a great deal more in both of those metrics if they do not implement AI and other modern tools to fight fraud, she says."You are going to pay either way," Pitt says. "You pay on the front end for the technology and tools, or you pay on the back end for the financial loss or customer attrition."Listen as Pitt discusses how fraud has changed in the age of AI, what FIs and consumers can do to protect themselves and the critical need for institutions to share knowledge.

Welcome back to Fintech Takes. I'm Alex Johnson, joined by two of my favorite Jasons (Jason Mikula of Fintech Business Weekly and Jason Henrichs of Alloy Labs) to go deep on the FDIC's very early effort to create standards for third-party risk management (particularly for bank-fintech partnerships). Banking didn't get here by accident. FIS, Fiserv, and Jack Henry ran the market for decades. Long contracts locked banks into these three providers and left little room for anyone else, which set the stage for fintech's rise. Then, we explore what happened when the pendulum swung too far in the other direction.  From there, we consider whether certification can actually reduce risk. Henrichs points to SOC 2 as a cautionary tale, while Mikula questions whether meaningful standards can avoid putting very different banks, partners, and business models into a straitjacket. Tune in for a conversation on why there may be no magic top-down solution to bank-fintech risk. The bottom-up version: a dedicated cross-agency examiner group with strong expertise, and narrower, more specific rules (like the reconciliation requirement the FDIC floated and then dropped). --- This episode is brought to you by Ocrolus.  Better lending starts with better intelligence.

Skid-VM är en av vinterns stora höjdpunkter. Vartannat år samlas världens bästa skidåkare för att göra upp om medaljerna, och nästa gång det är dags är det dessutom på svensk mark, i Falun. Men nu vill det internationella skidförbundet FIS göra om hela upplägget. Planen är att arrangera VM betydligt oftare. Samtidigt har förbundet också fattat ett annat omdiskuterat beslut. Ryska och belarusiska åkare kan återigen få tävla. Så… Hur nära är det att vi kan få se ryska skidåkare på startlinjen i Falun? Och vad händer egentligen med skid-VM? Riskerar mästerskapet att urvattnas? Programledare och producent: Demir Lilja Medverkande: Anna Rydén Kontakt: podcast@aftonbladet.se Ansvarig utgivare: Lotta Folcker

In this episode of Bank on Wipfli, host Robert Zondag sits down with Justin Seidl, chief technology officer at Coinbax, to discuss the growing role of programmable money and stablecoins in financial services. Together, they explore how financial institutions can safely participate in this emerging payment ecosystem, including:How to balance the speed and efficiency of blockchain-based payments with the trust, controls and compliance frameworks customers expect.Why stablecoins should be viewed as a payment mechanism rather than an investment vehicle.How financial institutions can apply compliance checks, escrow functionality and risk controls to stablecoin transactions.Emerging use cases for programmable money, including treasury management, cross-border payments, investor funding, invoice reconciliation and automated escrow transactions.Why major core providers such as Fiserv, Jack Henry and FIS are investing in stablecoin infrastructure.Learn moreRisk Roundtable: Navigating SAR investigations and regulatory expectations with confidenceFor financial institutions, the control environment is no longer just an audit issueStablecoin compliance: What you need to know about the GENIUS Act and PPSIs

Send us Fan MailI will admit it, when I first heard about BNPL - buy now pay later - I snorted that layaway had died years ago.I was wrong.BNPL has become a huge marketplace.  Federal Reserve data pegs it at around $160 billion in consumer credit products. And the scary bit for credit unions is that fintechs own over 90% of that market and they aren't sharing with FIs.Enter Equipifi which has as its mission empowering credit unions and community banks to offer BNPL to their members and customers.Equipifi founder Bryce Deeney was on the show five years ago and again three years ago to discuss the market.That market keeps growing and more credit unions are recognizing that BNPL just may appeal to a cohort of their membership -- and it may also attract new members.Flashforward and on the show now is Lo Smith, a past podcast guest when she worked at a different company. Now she is VP, Head of Revenue at Equipifi and she is here to update us on the state of BNPL today.Listen up.Like what you are hearing? Find out how you can help sponsor this podcast here.

Every CIO and CISO adopting AI faces the same trap. Loosen the guardrails and let employees use the tools they want, and put your sensitive data at risk. Block it and lock everything down, and watch shadow AI use grow. Steven Walchek, co-founder and CEO of Liminal and a former innovation leader at AWS and FIS, joins Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher to argue the answer is not one or the other but both. The conversation covers the real regulatory exposure facing mid-market companies, why the public versus private LLM question echoes the old cloud versus on-prem debate, and the security tradeoffs of running open-source models on your own infrastructure. It closes on a candid look at how AI is reshaping developer work and the careers Steven is steering his own kids toward.

Recorded in the middle of Blink Festival in Sandnes - with four people, three microphone cables and very tired legs - Mika and Jimmy sit down with Blink founder and sports director Arne Idland and IDT Sports' Morten Iversbakken.Morten explains why IDT brings 1,300 pairs of brand-new roller skis to Blink, whether Lysebotn Opp times can really be compared across different years, and why equal equipment, logistics and athlete safety matter.Arne tells the story of how Blink grew from an idea shared with legendary NRK commentator Kjell Kristian Rike into a free city-centre festival owned by the people of Sandnes. The conversation then gets bigger: what can World Cups learn from Blink, why does biathlon appear more willing to change than cross-country skiing, should roller skiing become part of the main World Cup, do we need more race formats - and do we even need classic technique?This one contains skiing, business, city-building, FIS versus the IBU, a proposed Norwegian Olympics and the usual amount of Skirious chaos.BLINK: https://www.blinkfestivalen.no/IDT Sports: https://idtsports.com/

In the latest episode of theDigital Banking Podcast, host Josh DeTar welcomed Tommy Cotter, Director of Data Products at Benzinga. Cotter spent his early career optimizing Ram 1500 production at Fiat Chrysler, where a single second of downtime could cost a truck. In this episode, he joined DeTar to talk about what that mindset looked like applied to financial services and why most digital transformation still amounted to putting a broken process on an iPad.They got into the build vs. buy debate in an AI-accelerated world, what Plaid's MCP connection meant for community FIs, and why hyper-personalization had nothing to do with uploading a photo of your dog.Cotter also introduced two ideas that sharpened the whole conversation: John Gruber's auteur theory — every product reflects the taste of the person calling the shots — and Ivan Vendrov's "tyranny of the marginal user," a warning about building for your lowest-engagement user at the expense of the ones who actually stay.

Markus Eder is the final European skier on the podcast and he's arguably the most important. Markus's career took off after he won an internet wild card to Nine Knights in 2010, then it exploded even more at Red Bull Linecatcher, and if that wasn't enough, he lit the web on fire with his 2021 "The Ultimate Run" release.  Honestly, Markus may be the most versatile skier I've ever had on the podcast. A bold statement but the guy was a slopestyle athlete on the Italian Olympic team in Sochi in 2014, he's a film skier that consistently puts out segments, he was a Freeride World Tour athlete who won the whole tour in 2019, and he's spent the past two seasons standing on the podium at Travis Rice's prestigious Natural Selection events. I've been trying to get Markus on the show for years and this timed perfectly for him to give his opinions on FIS, federations, and the Olympics. Red Bull.

The Federal Reserve is advancing a next-gen financial inclusion agenda focused on instant payments, interoperable data, and stronger fraud controls. FedNow, launched in July 2023, provides 24 by 7 by 365 settlement and is expanding through banks, credit unions, and core processors. Small businesses can benefit from faster receivables, instant disbursements, and request-for-payment capabilities that improve cash flow. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's proposed Section 1033 rule aims to standardize data sharing, enabling cash-flow underwriting for thin-file entrepreneurs and clarifying liability. The Fed promotes tools like the FraudClassifier model and the Synthetic Identity Fraud Mitigation Toolkit to manage real-time risk. Community banks are sequencing FedNow adoption with vendors such as Fiserv, FIS, and Jack Henry, while CRA updates and interagency third-party risk guidance shape bank-fintech partnerships.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

What actually mattered in banking during the first half of 2026 — and what was just noise? Jim Marous welcomes Ron Shevlin, Chief Research Officer at Cornerstone Advisors, back to Banking Transformed for a mid-year review that cuts through the hype. The conversation covers why agentic AI is both overweighted and underweighted by banks and credit unions; Ron Shevlin's three-part framework for AI's impact, and the pivotal question of how work gets done versus who does the work; the stablecoin and tokenized-deposit debate, and the evolving role of core providers including Fiserv, FIS, and Jack Henry. They also discuss bank and credit union consolidation driven by capabilities and digital maturity rather than geography, and the fintechs Ron is watching most closely — SoFi, Robinhood, and Coinbase. At the heart of the episode is the decline of primacy: why a single “primary bank” no longer exists for consumers under 40, and why direct deposit no longer signals a growing relationship. The episode closes with each guest's top priority for the second half of 2026. Ron Shevlin publishes the Fintech Snark Tank on Substack (ronshevlin.substack.com) and LinkedIn. Hosted by Jim Marous, co-publisher of The Financial Brand and Owner and Publisher of the Digital Banking Report.

Artificial intelligence is moving at a pace few organizations have ever experienced, but how much of today's AI adoption is driven by real business value versus fear of being left behind? This week on That Tech Pod, we sit down with Steven Walchek, Founder and CEO of Liminal, for a conversation about what separates companies that are genuinely transforming with AI from those simply putting on a show.Steven shares how growing up around entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley shaped his approach to building companies, his experiences helping scale innovation at Amazon Web Services and FIS, and the lessons learned from launching multiple startups and achieving three successful exits. Along the way, he explains why every major technology wave creates both incredible opportunities and very expensive mistakes.We also dig into why so many organizations fall into "innovation theater," whether executives are adopting AI because of business strategy or fear of missing the next big thing, and which technologies from the past two decades proved to be underrated or wildly overhyped. Steven offers an honest perspective on where enterprise AI is heading, what regulated industries need to get right, and the AI investments companies may look back on with regret just a few years from now.If you're trying to separate AI hype from lasting business value, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Steven Walchek is the Founder and CEO of Liminal, where he helps large regulated enterprises securely scale generative AI with the right balance of governance, visibility, and multi-model access. He's spent more than 15 years building and scaling companies across fintech, cloud, and enterprise software, focused on turning emerging technologies into real operational advantage. Before Liminal, Steven was EVP and Chief Innovation Officer at FIS, where he led corporate venture initiatives, launched new business lines, and built multiple subsidiary companies. Earlier in his career at Amazon Web Services, he worked on early machine learning and cloud infrastructure initiatives while helping expand the partner ecosystem and drive new revenue growth. He's also been involved in three successful exits, including DebtMarket, the fintech company he co-founded and later sold to Intercontinental Exchange. Today, he focuses on helping regulated industries adopt AI at scale without losing control, security, or trust.

Glen Plake is the most legendary, the most known skier of our time—maybe of all time—and I've interviewed him more than anyone. But this podcast series couldn't end without a final Plake episode, and this one was timed perfectly, the day after Freeride was named an Olympic sport. You can bet Glen has a strong opinion about that, and we also talk about FIS, SIA, skiing, life, Kimberley, and so much more.  It's another fun episode with a living legend and I get some new stories out of Glen.  Elan Trip of a Lifetime Show Notes: 3:00: Goon Squad, FIS, cultural tobacco and clean living 20:00: Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better.

Staying isn't always strength, and walking away isn't always failure. Sally J. Clarke, co-author of Walk Away: Step Out to Step Up, joins Lori Adams-Brown to unpack why high-performing leaders so often wait for a crisis before giving themselves permission to leave. Why a role can look right on paper, title, compensation, trajectory, while quietly stopping to fit, and how to tell a structural misalignment from a personal failure The story behind the research: 40+ interviews with women across finance, technology, and the arts, including a founder underestimated in the boardroom who went on to build her own global company culture Why walking away is rarely emotional and almost always strategic, and what that reframe offers women taught that leaving means failing How culture, from Singapore to Germany to the United States, shapes whether leaving feels like a free choice or a forced one What recent comments from prominent tech leaders reveal about shifting corporate culture, and one question every leader can ask themselves this week Sally J. Clarke is an award-winning author and global business leader based in Singapore. She spent over a decade leading global marketing and communications at FIS and Markit, has advised organisations including Mitsubishi, Accenture, and the Singapore Stock Exchange, and is the co-author of Walk Away: Step Out to Step Up and author of the bestselling novel Ringside Gamble, winner of the 2025 Ink Prize for Best Debut Novel. 00:00 — Welcome and introduction to Sally J.

Stimmung vor Anpfiff der Fussball-WM 2026 in Mexico-Stadt, Ständerat verschiebt Entscheid zu Ständemehr beim EU-Vertragspaket, Rezepte und Medikationspläne sollen digital ausgestellt werden, Alexander Ospelt ist neuer Präsident der FIS

In This Episode Financial institutions (FIs) are currently navigating a “perfect storm” of technological, market, and consumer shifts. They face a multi-front war: constant economic and regulatory pressure, soaring consumer expectations for 24/7 personalization, and the existential threat of megabanks with massive tech budgets. To survive and thrive, FIs must move beyond “pilot purgatory”—where 95% of generic AI pilots fail—and adopt a banking-specific AI workforce,an AI-powered intelligence layer for modern banking. In this episode of Breaking Banks host Jason Henrichs is joined by Dan Michaeli, CEO & Co-Founder of Glia, a digital customer service and banking AI platform serving over 700 FIs, and Madeline Fredin, SVP of Growth & AI Transformation at Alloy Labs to explore how a self-learning institutional brain unifies data across the organization. By starting with the contact center—the richest source of unstructured interaction data—banks can build a foundation that shifts their entire operation from reactive service to proactive growth and agentic workflows.

Join Steven Walchek, Co-Founder and CEO of Liminal, for a deep dive into the "adoption paradox" facing the modern enterprise. Despite billions in AI investment, most organizations remain trapped in perpetual pilots. A serial entrepreneur with over $1.1B in exit value and a former CINO at FIS, Steven argues that the failure isn't technical—it's strategic. In this episode, we explore why forcing standardization kills impact and how the industry is shifting toward "Secure AI Enablement" that learns from actual user behavior to autonomously deploy capabilities where they matter most.

Send us Fan MailThe advent of artificial intelligence is expected to create significant opportunities for brands to connect with consumers through AI-powered loyalty programs that become increasingly more efficient and personalized. But Jakob Harrison, Head of GTM for Payment Networks at fintech company FIS, notes that just like all new technology, AI will also bring new challenges for brands. This is especially true as agentic commerce grows more prevalent and transforms how consumers shop. “Brands are going to need a loyalty engagement solution that's more immediate, more relevant and easier to execute because they're going to be competing not only for the consumer but the AI agent as well,” Harrison said. “And the winning experience is the one that not only the consumer has, but that its assistant or its agent can confidently choose and apply in real time.”

How many FIs have a relatively high efficiency ratio? In other words, how much do they have to spend to make $1? Scott Fieber, chief strategy officer, said he was shocked to find out that "over 12 % of all institutions in the United States are over 90%." This means that these FIs had to spend more than 90 cents to make $1.Fieber and Scott Smith, chief strategy officer at Cook Solutions Group, joined Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace, to discuss this issue and how banks can reduce their ratios in this episode of the Bank Customer Experience Podcast.Fieber and Smith emphasized the importance of starting small with this issue, as even reducing ratios by 2% could make a big difference to one's bottom line. That money saved can then be used for strategic initiatives."Instead of spending that money on inefficient practices and doubling down on bad purchases and bad protocols, now we've got some money. Let's free it up to do the fun stuff," Fieber said.One way to improve this ratio, according to Smith and Fieber, is to take a look at one's vendor relationships and ask basic questions such as:Are we experiencing vendor creep?Are multiple departments using different vendors, where we could use one?Is there a vendor we could partner with to handle multiple aspects of our business?When asked how FIs can begin addressing efficiency ratios, Fieber pointed to hosting a strategic workshop where banks can gain some "nuggets" that could start some ideas."Why is a strategic workshop so important? It's important for the FI individually, but it's also important for the FI to involve their partners so that they understand the strategic layout of what their partners are doing too. Hey, what's on your roadmap? Does it align with ours? I think those are all conversations that sometimes get overlooked that are very, very valuable," Smith said.Cook Solutions Group created a guide called A Strategic Guide for Banking Executives: 10 Questions for Banking Executives, which FIs can use during these workshops to jumpstart conversation.Fieber said the guide can "at least get you started if you're kind of stuck on a home plate, not sure where to go."Listen to the entire conversation above.

Send us Fan MailCan bill pay be revived at credit unions?You may remember, perhaps a generation ago, when bill pay was revered by financial institutions because it was viewed as creating stickier members who, having inputted a dozen or two bill pay recipients, were reluctant to change FIs because of the work involved.Bill pay lost a lot of its stick when various fintechs rolled out widgets that collected billpay data so it could be transferred to another institution.The death blow came when many vendors - including most credit card companies - created auto pay tools where a user can choose to pay the minimum or the balance due or amounts in between automatically.  That's what I use to pay all my recurring bills and the closest I've come to using oldfashioned bill pay is when I've paid contractors with Zelle a couple times.Cary Strange is on the show to tell how PayOnward plans to change that current practice and, hold on, know that PayOnward is a portfolio company of Black Dragon Capital which talks about PayOnward this way: “PayOnward is a cloud-native universal payments platform that empowers Community Based Financial Institutions to offer a full suite of AI driven digital payment solutions for both business and consumers through an easy to use and efficient integrated solution.”Now know that Black Dragon Capital  is a private equity firm founded by Louis Hernandez, Jr. a dozen years ago.  He's a longtime credit union tech innovator - think the DNA core system. Hernandez is not a guest on this episode but he is much referenced in it.Listen up.Like what you are hearing? Find out how you can help sponsor this podcast here.

Jimmy and Mika are finally back after a long break — and this time it's just us catching up on everything that's been going on in the ski world. We're kicking off a new rhythm with fresh episodes every two weeks, plus some behind-the-scenes training VLOGs along the way.In this episode, we dive into the latest chaos and politics surrounding the Norwegian “mafia” federation, unpack what went down at the recent FIS meetings, and talk about where cross-country skiing is heading next. There's also plenty of catching up on training, racing, and what life has looked like during the off-season break.No guest this week — just classic Skirious Problems.

What if your bank was also a technology company that actually understood property management? In this episode, I sit down with George Cheng, GM of Vertical Solutions at Column - the bank powering companies like Ramp, Bill.com, and Wise behind the scenes.Column is unusual: they are a nationally chartered, FDIC-insured bank AND built their core banking software from scratch (the founder also started Plaid). That means real APIs, real-time data, and a level of integration that legacy banks running on FIS and Fiserv simply can't offer. We discuss:(00:01:48) - Column's work for property managers(00:05:22) - How banks differ from companies like PayPal, Stripe, and Venmo(00:09:04) - Banking APIs(00:18:27) - What Column is providing tech-forward PM companies(00:31:54) - How PM companies are taking advantage of Column(00:41:45) - Corporate accounting and trust accounting(00:46:41) - AI predictions(00:51:46) - Closing thoughtsGeorge also shares why accounting is the area of PM most ripe for AI disruption (and why nothing has happened there yet), what it looks like when one of his PM clients built a CEO-level dashboard pulling from both their PMS and their bank in real time, and his take on how agentic AI is reshaping the SaaS landscape. We also get into earnings credits, the state banking laws still tripping operators up, and the future of outcomes-based pricing in software.Learn more about Column: https://column.com/property-managementConnect with George: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgecheng7/

Are you struggling with misaligned pricing strategies that leave money on the table? Many sales leaders find themselves caught between traditional seat-based models and what customers value. There's a better approach that can increase contract values by over 200% while simplifying your sales conversations. In this episode, Keith Bossier, VP of Sales at SDOCS, shares how his team transformed their entire pricing strategy from user-based to consumption-based models. His insights reveal practical steps for aligning pricing with genuine business outcomes that customers care about most. Keith breaks down the critical misalignments between marketing, sales, and customer success teams that drain revenue potential. He explains how removing traditional barriers—like eliminating SDRs entirely—can create more direct pathways to qualified prospects and accelerate deal cycles. Revenue Operations Framework for Growth Keith discusses implementing a comprehensive revenue operations program that aligns teams around shared goals. He shares how they restructured customer success roles to function more like account managers with implementation responsibilities, creating new revenue streams from existing accounts. The conversation explores building effective partner ecosystems without massive hiring sprees. Keith reveals how SDOCS signed over 50 new partners in 12 months by focusing on system integrators and technology partnerships that amplify reach efficiently. Learning from Sales Failures Keith opens up about a six-figure deal he lost early in his career—not because of product gaps, but because he failed to connect with the customer's real pain points. This experience shaped his entire approach to coaching sales teams, emphasizing empathy over feature presentations. He shares practical techniques for handling rejection and building team resilience. His approach focuses on understanding why deals don't close rather than simply pushing through objections, creating stronger connections with prospects. What You'll Learn: ●       How to transition from seat-based to consumption-based pricing models ●       Strategies for aligning marketing, sales, and customer success around revenue goals ●       Methods for building partner ecosystems that expand reach without adding headcount ●       Techniques for coaching teams to handle rejection and build resilience ●       Why slowing down in discovery can actually accelerate your sales cycles Keith's approach demonstrates that successful sales isn't about perfecting your pitch—it's about genuinely understanding what keeps your customers awake at night and positioning your solution as the bridge to their desired outcomes. Key Moments of This Episode 00:01:46 - Introduction to Keith Bossier and SDOCSKeith Bossier, VP of Sales at SDOCS, introduces himself and explains how his company provides document automation and e-signature solutions that help businesses accelerate contract processes and revenue collection. 00:03:44 - Personal Journey: Overcoming Heart Surgery ChallengesKeith shares his inspiring personal story of surviving two open-heart surgeries and how he's thrived despite health challenges, even competing in triathlons and half-marathons. 00:06:28 - Pricing Strategies in Volatile Market ConditionsDiscussion of current economic uncertainty and how companies must adapt to pricing models. Keith explains the shift from user-based to consumption-based pricing at SDOCS, resulting in significant contract value increases. 00:13:43 - Aligning Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success TeamsKeith addresses common misalignments between departments and shares three key strategies: aligning revenue responsibilities, creating cross-functional accountability, and focusing on lead quality over quantity. 00:17:56 - Customer Success as Account Management with ImplementationExploration of how customer success teams can function more like account managers with revenue responsibilities, requiring sales-minded professionals rather than traditional support staff. 00:29:45 - Building Effective Partner Ecosystems for GrowthKeith discusses partner-led growth strategies, including working with system integrators and technology partners to expand reach efficiently without hiring additional full-time employees. 00:37:02 Learning from Sales Failures: The Power of EmpathyKeith shares a pivotal early career loss that taught him the importance of understanding customer pain points rather than just showcasing product features, shaping his coaching philosophy. 00:41:57 - Building Resilience: Handling Rejection in SalesStrategies for helping sales teams manage rejection, including debriefing losses, celebrating progress milestones, and maintaining emotional equilibrium through the ups and downs of sales cycles.

Candace is a queer, polyamorous mom in her mid-forties who's been exploring non-monogamy consensually for about 15 years and has been together with her husband for about 11 years. While it's been 15 years since Candace started exploring non-monogamy consensually she vulnerably shares with us that during her twenties she was a habitual cheater and that it took hitting rock bottom at around age 30 for her to entirely reshape how she was doing relationships to be more aligned with her heart and values.  Of course, redesigning your entire approach to relationships is no small task! She explored swinging on her own for a few years before meeting her now-husband. Then, over the course of about 7 years they slowly expanded their relationship to where it is today… Candace is polyamorous, her husband is monogamish, they have what they call a “poly sphere” with about 50 people in it that spans the US, and they're a bicoastal family living part of the year together on each coast and living part of the year separately on opposite coasts. We cover a ton in this powerful conversation with Candace and we're excited to share it with all of you! Candace Klein is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and transformational leader whose work spans finance, technology, and human development. Over the past fifteen years, Candace has served in senior executive and C-suite roles across venture-backed startups and global payments companies, including Chief Commercial Officer of Lynx, a healthcare payments company, and Senior Vice President of Embedded Finance at FIS, a global payments firm with more than 66,000 employees.  She is the former co-author of Typhoon Honey: The Only Way Out Is Through, a book on emotional intelligence and transformational growth, and has recently published Polyagony: The Art of Repair in Open Relationships. Today, Candace lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with her husband Andrew, their son Ivar, and their two dogs, Pan and Cinder. Check out the full show notes here.
