These engagement failures, and how to fix them, map directly onto the Octalysis Core Drives. Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Rob breaks down why Amazon shut down KiroRank, the internal leaderboard that scored staff on raw AI usage on its Kiro developer platform. He shows how stacking Core Drive 2 (Development & Accomplishment) and Core Drive 5 (Social Influence & Relatedness) produced flawless compliance toward the wrong target, a textbook case of Goodhart's law: once a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure. Drawing on the Octalysis Strategy Dashboard and Toyota's Five Whys, he lays out the one question to ask before you measure anything. Listeners learn to measure outcomes instead of activity, and how to keep a proxy metric from quietly getting gamed. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways Amazon shut down KiroRank, its internal leaderboard scoring staff on AI usage on the Kiro developer platform, after employees set autonomous AI agents on needless tasks just to climb the ranks and inflated the company's compute costs. Goodhart's law explains the failure: when a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure. You get what you measure, not what you want, so raw AI usage climbed while productivity went unmeasured. KiroRank stacked Core Drive 2 (Development & Accomplishment) through a progress bar and ranking, and Core Drive 5 (Social Influence & Relatedness) through public status, producing flawless compliance toward the wrong outcome. The more powerful and expensive the tool being measured, the more a gamed metric costs you, which is why Amazon paid in real compute money rather than a rounding error. The Octalysis Strategy Dashboard starts with business metrics by asking what outcome you actually want, using Toyota's Five Whys to move from "increase AI usage" to a result worth hitting, like productivity per employee. Engagement is the value created for users and the business, not click counts or usage volume, which is why most dashboards measure activity when they should measure the outcome.

Episode 6 of Watts & Wheels – TechCentral's electric motoring show – sees hosts William Kelly and Duncan McLeod wade into the most opaque corner of the South African car market: tariffs, subsidies and what they really cost the people buying the cars. William opens with a deep dive into why locally sold vehicles are priced the way they are, unpacking the difference between SKD (semi-knocked-down) and CKD (completely-knocked-down) assembly, the all-important “local content value” that drives a car maker's tariffs and incentives, and why economies of scale make it so hard for a country building thousands of cars a year to compete with rivals building millions. The episode's centrepiece is an interview with Donald MacKay, CEO of XA Global Trade Advisors, who demystifies how South Africa's automotive support regime has worked since the late 1990s – and who actually pays for it. The hosts then turn to the Chinese surge in local showrooms: Chinese brands already accounting for roughly 15% of the market once GWM, MG and others are counted in; and a run through the best-sellers, led by the Chery Tiggo 4. Then it's review time. William drives the all-electric Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce – 207kW, made in Poland, yours for R995 000 – and falls hopelessly in love (it's rather sad to watch, if we're honest). Also in the mix: a jaw-dropping Volvo safety clip in which an EX60 is launched – airborne – into a steel pole; and a Rory Sutherland-inspired riff on why the self-driving car isn't really a car at all but a “room on wheels” – a mobile office, a meeting room, even an income-generating asset – plus what an acceptable robot-driver accident rate should look like next to human drivers. The show closes with Hot or Not. TechCentral

John continues his conversation with Christian "Boo" Boucousis. Boo explains his idea of Flawless Leadership, why destinations are more powerful than goals, how to find purpose in ordinary work, and how AI can be used as a coaching and leadership tool. In Part 1, Christian shared how his childhood dream shaped his entire life, how an autoimmune disease ended his fighter pilot career, and how he now helps leaders and businesses think and perform like fighter pilots. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Being realistic with your kids [03:43] - What is Flawless Leadership? [06:03] - The three leadership moments [08:41] - Christian's definition of purpose and why many people misunderstand it [12:49] - Why he wrote The Afterburner Advantage [13:58] - Flawless Leadership: The Perfect Book for The Imperfect Leader [16:24] - How Christian is creating more leaders [17:32] - Building an AI coach [19:54] - Using AI as an extension of yourself [22:46] - How flying shaped Christian's faith and view of the world [26:36] - How Christain's faith shapes his business [31:10] - When is "enough" ever enough? [32:28] - The problem with social media and influencer culture [33:44] - Legacy that Christian wants to leave behind [36:20] - Why failure is one of life's greatest teachers [37:03] - Wrap-up NOTABLE QUOTES: "Flawless isn't perfect. Flawless is the pursuit of perfection." "The domain that you can be perfect in is the domain of the things you can control." "Be aware, and to be aware, you've got to have intention. And to turn intention into action, you've got to have destinations." "If you say, 'This is my destination, and I must arrive,' it forces you to get out of that kind of big black-and-white mindset into something that's a little more granular, and you start to bring meaning to the things you do every day." "A goal is just something nice to have, whereas a destination is different. You have to arrive at it." "As a fighter pilot, we know you're going to make mistakes, and that's okay. But we want to help you minimize that as much as we can because, if you don't, it's going to kill you, or you're going to hurt someone else." "No one gets there without years of investment." "If you live a life that doesn't have a destination or a target, you can't hit it, so you cannot have impact." "If what you do is aligned to a purpose, the byproduct of that is you live a purposeful life."

John talks with Christian "Boo" Boucousis — former Royal Australian Air Force fighter pilot, CEO of Afterburner, behavior specialist, leadership keynote speaker, author of the best-selling book, The Afterburner Advantage: How a Small Team of Fighter Pilots Transformed 3,500 Companies and Helped an NFL Team Win the Super Bowl, host of The Few Leaders podcast, and devoted dad. Through Afterburner, "Boo" helps individuals and organizations turn intention into reality with less wasted effort. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [01:23] - Christian's bio and background [03:39] - Going from fighter pilot to business leader [04:47] - The air show that shaped Christian's life purpose [05:32] - Being diagnosed with ADHD and how it affected him at school [06:38] - Why he transitioned from fighter pilot to entrepreneurship [07:16] - Discovering Afterburner and eventually taking it over [08:48] - Afterburner's coaches are fighter pilots from around the world [09:45] - The two core roles of Afterburner [10:47] - Busy vs. effective and why people avoid thinking [13:00] - Missionizing your life instead of simply making to-do lists [16:28] - The ORCA method: Objective, Result, Cause, and Action [19:31] - Creating habits & avoiding all-or-nothing thinking [21:54] - The Plasma ball brain analogy [24:57] - How small daily actions expand your comfort zone over time [27:24] - The myth of big wins [29:53] - Celebrating wins in a meaningful way [33:54] - Christian's transition from military life to civilian life [35:33] - Balancing his ambition and time with kids NOTABLE QUOTES: "If you have some real clarity around your intention, the path looks after itself." "The problem is, it's really easy to be busy and go nowhere." "That's something that a fighter pilot is trained to do: understand that your job is to hit a target, not to go flying." "Missionize your life." "To missionize your life means every day you have to have a mission. You have to achieve something. And then, when you know what you want to achieve, you can work backwards and prioritize the work. Understand: is this a distraction, or is this focusing on what matters? And you start to reduce the noise each and every day. Otherwise, you're just looking for something to do." "Well, humans are engineered to be busy, and as a result, we reward effort and find work. And then, when we start to get into those paradigms of laziness or procrastination, that's usually the byproduct of too much work, or not knowing where to start, or not really understanding why the work is important and why should I bother." "Habits are just doing something regularly and committing it to motor memory, so you don't have to think about it. It becomes an unconscious behavior." "The habit isn't the goal. The habit is the small thing that just gets you moving towards the goal." "The habit you want to instill is the habit of movement, not the habit of going to the gym." "Your whole life begins to become what it is you identify yourself as in the future." "When you win, you release dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. It's the byproduct of success, which is why successful people seem to be so incredibly busy and not make it feel like work, because they're busy winning. They're not busy doing work." "Even when you have a bad mission, you debrief, you learn some really great things, and that's a win." "It's not the quantity of time that you have with your children; it's the quality of time."

What does it actually take to build a luxury wedding and event planning company where your name is literally the brand promise? In Episode 196, I'm sitting down with Elle Becerra, founder of Events by Elle, a luxury wedding and event planning company based in Miami that has grown from a childhood bedroom business into a full creative and production studio with a specialized team, a consulting arm, and a reputation for flawless, deeply personalized celebrations. But this conversation goes far beyond the beautiful portfolio. Elle pulls back the curtain on what it really means to build a business in your own name, navigate the growing pains of leadership, set boundaries in an industry that never sleeps, and lead a team with intention and trust. In this episode, you'll hear: How Elle started her business at 21, straight out of college, with her dad as her biggest champion The evolution from solo coordinator to a full creative studio offering design, production, and consulting How she launched a consulting arm during COVID and why it took off far beyond what she expected The systems she built from scratch and why customizing them to your brain is the key to real consistency The slow, unglamorous realization that she wasn't just a wedding planner anymore, she was a CEO The pressure that comes with having your personal name on the door and what she does to handle it Her honest take on what a hard week really looks like and the three people who hold her steady Setting boundaries around time availability and why it actually strengthened her client relationships The leadership mindset shift she had to make to build a team she truly trusts The biggest misconception people still have about the wedding and events industry Two unforgettable wedding day moments including one that stopped her in her tracks and had nothing to do with the couple Connect with Elle: Website: www.eventsbyelle.com Instagram: @eventsby_elle TikTok: @eventsbyelle Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/eventsbyelleinc Your Resources How Founder-Dependent is Your Business?

The conversation highlights standout companies, including Ryan Coogler's Proximity Media, IMAX's big-screen resurgence, AI dubbing startup Flawless, John Wells Productions' real-time hit The Pitt, and Apple TV+'s evolving prestige strategy. Along the way, the group unpacks the key criteria behind the list—innovation and impact—and why the most meaningful shifts in entertainment often happen behind the scenes.

In our 4-week series on The Four Agreements, we're exploring practical pathways to deepen connection, act with intention, and create a vibrant, thriving spiritual community by showing up as our best, most authentic selves. In the final week of the series, we're looking at the Fourth Agreement, which teaches us to always do our best. But what if our best was never meant to be measured by perfection? Have you ever walked away from something you worked hard on and immediately thought, I should have done better? Have you compared your effort to someone else's and quietly decided yours wasn't enough? Even Olympic athletes stumble, recalibrate, and rise again. Excellence is not born from flawlessness, but from faithfulness. What if your best is already enough? Dr. Nancy Little join us to explore how spiritual maturity — and the Unity power of Faith — invites us to release harsh self-judgment, act with integrity, and trust the Spirit within. In every season, our sincere effort becomes an expression of faith. Website: https://unityfortworth.org Facebook: https://facebook.com/unityfw YouTube: https://youtube.com/unityfortworth

The team is back to discuss Panini's swan-song in football with 2025 Flawless Football. They delve into the pricing, features, and overall value of these products, highlighting the significance of game-worn memorabilia and the excitement surrounding rare cards. The conversation transitions smoothly from NFL to WWE, with insights on card design and the potential impact of these releases on collectors. The hosts share their verdicts on the products, emphasizing the importance of value in the hobby. Takeaways: The 2025 Panini Flawless NFL Football is likely the last licensed NFL release before Fanatics takes over. Pricing for the Flawless set has increased, but it still offers unique features like gemstone cards. The hosts express mixed feelings about the value of high-end products in the hobby. Game-worn memorabilia is becoming less common in recent releases, which is disappointing for collectors. The Flawless cut checklist includes notable figures like JFK and Mother Teresa, adding to its appeal. The 2025 Topps Universe WWE cards promise unique designs and multiple themed inserts. The hosts appreciate the on-card autographs in the WWE set, which enhance its value. The pricing for the WWE hobby box is considered reasonable given the number of cards and hits. The hosts emphasize the importance of fun and enjoyment in card collecting, despite high prices. Overall, both products receive positive feedback, with the WWE set rated 4.5 out of 5.

No more flawless. No More NT. Topps has the NBA and now the NFL, So what will they release to be the NT and Flawless? My bet is that Dynasty and Definitive take the place of Flawless and NT and the result? People take a long look at those product in the prior years of baseball. I could be wrong- but that doesn't happen often...

Another 5 Flawless with more news around the NFL and MLB.
Another 5 Flawless as the guys help celebrate Chiofalo's birthday! Plenty of discussion on the Cowboys and Mavericks as well.
I remember a time when they might have been able to sell their propaganda, but we are on to them. The more frustrated they get as they survey their losses, the more desperate they get.I'd like to discuss MN, CA, Davos, the crime drop, Jack Smith's testimony, etc. and hopefully we will get to much of this.If Democrats were Olympic athletes, they wouldn't compete in governance. They'd dominate synchronized distraction. Perfect form. Flawless timing. Sticks the landing every time something criminal-looking wanders into the light.At this point, it's not even subtle. It's vaudeville.Whenever fraud bubbles up, whenever subpoenas knock, whenever a paper trail starts behaving like a bloodhound, Democrats don't answer questions. They release balloons. Smoke machines. Children. Preferably children holding protest signs. Because nothing says “nothing to see here” like a minor chanting slogans they learned five minutes earlier in exchange for missing geometry.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Perfectionism can sharpen your playing or steal your joy. The Cello Sherpa Podcast Host, Joel Dallow, sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Ellen Hendriksen to unpack where that line lives for working musicians and how to keep your standards high without letting self-worth rise and fall with every take. Ellen breaks down seven core patterns behind perfectionism—over-evaluation, self-criticism, rigid rules, mistake avoidance, procrastination, social comparison, and perfectionistic self-presentation—and shows how they quietly fuel audition anxiety, practice paralysis, and post-concert spirals.Together, we reframe procrastination as an emotion management habit rather than a calendar problem, then trade approval-seeking for intention-setting you can control. Ellen offers practical ways to normalize a non-zero failure rate in auditions, interpret criticism without outsourcing your identity, and use both acceptance tools and cognitive restructuring to soften the inner critic. You'll learn how to treat harsh thoughts like background noise, play with them to drain their power, and coach yourself with firm, kind language that actually leads to better performances.We also explore the “perfectionistic climate” many musicians train in, the difference between healthy and maladaptive perfectionism, and small daily choices that reduce shoulds and increase motivation. If you've ever walked offstage to applause while frowning inside, this conversation gives you a path back to meaning, agency, and sustainable growth. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs it, and leave a quick review—what intention will you set for your next performance?For more information on Ellen Hendriksen: https://www.ellenhendriksen.com/aboutIf you are looking for in person/virtual cello lessons, or orchestral repertoire audition coachings, check out www.theCelloSherpa.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads & YouTube: @theCelloSherpaFor more information on our sponsor: www.CLEAResources.com
