The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – The ruling was 6–3, with the three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson — dissenting in favor of the School Board having more control over what children are learning than parents. Indeed, parents have ALL of the power when it comes to their children's education. Clearly, Sotomayor does not know what the “essence of public education” is...

Coming up on today's Local: A man arrested in Huntington Park seemed to be poised to go on some kind of criminal spree dressed as an ICE agent ... Republicans in Congress keep the pressure on the city of Los Angeles ... masked up ICE agents, already operating with the charm of Joseph Stalin's secret police, are now forcing the cancellation of summer events around Southern California ... and we'll explain a complicated but important Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship.

Dan unloads on meek, mousy so-called 'mayor' Mike Johnston after the man who promised a 'Tiananmen Square moment' for ICE officers looking to deport Denver illegals surrenders to a violent mob of teenagers planning to plague City Park on Saturday, forcing the Denver Zoo to close several hours early at 1pm to avoid any chance of violence for patrons and the animals.

Across Canada, more and more First Nations are turning to real estate and housing development as money makers, shaping the future of Canadian cities. This is especially visible in Vancouver with projects like Sen̓áḵw, a development by the Squamish Nation that is set to become one of Canada's densest neighbourhoods. It's a project that carries a lot of promise, specifically as a symbol of Indigenous urban development and reconciliation in action. But Sen̓áḵw also comes with its share of controversy, as a development that isn't subject to Vancouver zoning laws because it's on Squamish land. In this episode, we look at how developments like Sen̓áḵw are forcing municipalities across the country to face some tough questions, like how to square Indigenous sovereignty with city planning and what reconciliation looks like at the local level.

Pat explains how Nugent and Dear Leader Trump are very much alike, and not in flattering ways. Pat then talks about how nearly half of Detroit's apartment complexes are without air conditioning, and Michigan's high unemployment rate. He concludes by underlining the big time victory of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race, and how it's yet another example of how progressive economic populism is not only popular, but it WINS elections! 20:29-42:23: Derrell Slaughter of NRDC-Michigan Interview Derrell Slaughter is the Michigan Policy Director for Climate & Energy at the Natural Resources Defense Council. Slaughter co-wrote a blog post on the NRDC site called, "Trump Administration's DOE Is Forcing Coal Plants To Remain Open. Michigan Is The First Target." Pat and Derrell discuss how Trump's Energy Dept. is forcing an old Consumer's Energy plant in Ottawa County to remain open even though the plant was scheduled to shut-down last month. Slaughter explains why this unprecedented move will cost Michiganders both economically and environmentally. 42:24-48:04: Last Call on Unhinged Democrats The "Last Call" this week spotlights those Democrats who view progressive Democrats, like Zohran Mamdani, as more of an enemy than they view MAGA Republicans as the real opposition to the working class, to liberty, and to democracy.  48:05-50:30: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Trump Administration's DOE Is Forcing Coal Plants to Stay Open.

Dr. Andreas Stamatis is a Professor at the University of Louisville and a Mental Performance Specialist at UofL Health, blending sport science, psychology, and leadership to help individuals and organizations thrive under pressure. In this episode, Andreas explores the foundation of mental performance—how it's developed, why it's often misunderstood, and what separates sustainable performance from momentary hype. Andreas introduces the “existential positive psychology”, a framework that views adversity as a growth opportunity—but only when it's relevant.  Andreas challenges the idea that mental toughness leads to selfishness. He explains that mental toughness is a personal construct—true strength lies in managing competing demands without losing yourself or others.  He also tackles the corporate tendency to overvalue outcomes and undervalue behaviors. Andreas challenges that mindset, insisting that behaviors are more controllable, more consistent, and more ethical to reward. Andreas also sees potential in how AI can help shape behavior and context if used wisely. He compares it to any other high-performance tool: powerful when used with clarity and care. This conversation is for anyone who wants to build a mentally tough team, avoid burnout, and embrace the kind of leadership that values people over performance metrics.  You can find episode 465 wherever you get your podcasts!   Key Takeaways [03:14] Andreas breaks down mental performance, bringing with real-world examples. Andreas explains that mental performance isn't about motivation—it's about creating a “psychological infrastructure” that holds up under pressure, enabling sustainable, adaptable, and ethical performance when it matters most. [07:16] Andreas delved into existential positive psychology, using Lent as an example: “We do it because we understand that through stress, adversity, difficulty, we grow.”  [09:28] Andreas pointed out what is relevant adversity. Forcing someone to run a marathon when they're a diver won't make them stronger—it'll just derail them. True growth comes from adversity that aligns with personal goals.  [10:45] To counter the perception that psychology is “soft,” Andreas uses data to show that mental toughness is a performance multiplier. His team collects evidence through interviews, questionnaires, and observations, proving that mental toughness improves not only performance but social cohesion and reduces issues like screen time addiction.  [15:27] When asked if there's such a thing as too much mental toughness, Andreas acknowledged the danger of a “machismo mentality.” While grit is valuable, it can become toxic when it turns into blind persistence that sacrifices well-being.  [19:04] One of Andreas's most powerful insights came when Jim quoted him: “The entity cannot be more important than the humans that support it.” He critiqued the “performance trap,” where results are prioritized over ethical behavior and people. Andreas advocates for a shift in culture—focusing on the process, the mindset, and the individuals who drive performance, rather than just the outcome. [24:08] When AI came up in the conversation, Andreas compared it to any high-performance tool: not a replacement for humans, but a servant to human potential. He envisions AI helping people fine-tune their focus, regulate emotions, and stay resilient by providing real-time, personalized feedback.  [31:18] And remember...“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” - Thomas Jefferson Quotable Quotes "So existential positive psychology says, yes, be proactive, work on your strengths. However, that trauma, stress, adversity that you go through, it has the potential for growth." "Even in your darkest hour, there could be something that could help you grow and become better human." "So we're not looking for adversity just to look for adversity... we need to take them through the process that would lead them to put them in a better position to be successful towards those goals." "Mental toughness is a multiplier." "The mentally tough mindset is purposeful, which means you know where you're going. There's direction, and there's energy towards those goals as a purposefulness." "The mentally tough mindset has efficiency, which means there's a congruency between your behaviors and your goals. Otherwise, they're just dreams." — "When you have a goal in order to achieve that goal, there are behaviors that you need to do in order to achieve that goal. Behind that one step before that is the mindset." “mental toughness is a personal construction. There's no team mental toughness. It's. It's something that you have to work on yourself. I don't see it as something that necessarily is negative. I see it as empowering."   “an actual real mentally tough person can work with conflicting goals, that's how we say, or interest."   "So metrics start to, in a way, overshadow mindset and then the behavior becomes transactional. So that's the performance trap. So we reward results even if they were achieved unethically or unsustainably, and we punish failure even if the process was sound and value aligned and we did the best we could under the circumstances. But the truth is this. Outcomes are variable. Markets shift, opponents adjust, life throws curveballs. But mindset can be trained, stabilized, and eventually applied across all of it."   “When the standard, people know what's expected from them, no matter the result, the culture becomes behavior driven and value based and performance becomes more consistent and stress goes down."   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

In this must-listen episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, hosts Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams sit down with Justin Rody, CFO of Kalispell Auto Group, to discuss the critical leadership lessons and strategies that have shaped his journey from Internet Director to C-suite executive. This episode is especially important for anyone in the automotive industry looking to navigate the evolving landscape of dealership operations. "The Internet and phones are the new showroom.” Justin dives into the often-underappreciated roles of Internet and BDC departments, shedding light on their vital contribution to modern sales success. With years of experience under his belt, he offers valuable insights on process adherence, the influence of one-price sales strategies on customer satisfaction, and the innovative community engagement tactics that can drive customer loyalty, like car raffles in partnership with local schools. "If somebody's throwing an Internet manager into a position that hasn't sold a car or been involved in sales, it's not the right thing to do." This episode is packed with actionable advice for dealership leaders and sales teams alike, offering a roadmap to creating a customer-focused, value-driven dealership that thrives in today's competitive market. Don't miss out—this conversation is a game-changer! Key Takeaways: ✅ Having experience in sales and management roles can significantly enhance the effectiveness of Internet and BDC managers. ✅ Cultivating a culture of process adherence is crucial for dealership success and customer satisfaction. ✅ Implementing a one-price sales model can streamline operations and build trust with customers, although it requires a strong value proposition. ✅ Community involvement and charitable initiatives are vital in establishing a dealership's reputation and fostering long-term customer relationships. ✅ Leveraging technology, such as AI for CRM and lead management, can optimize dealership efficiency and profits.   About Justin Rody Justin Rody is the Chief Financial Officer at Kalispell Auto Group in Montana. With a deep-rooted background in automotive sales, he began his career by immersing himself in various roles within dealerships, from internet director to executive positions. His connection with the auto industry dates back to a family legacy, with experiences ranging from washing cars in his grandfather's small car dealership to managing an auto racing track. Justin brings a wealth of knowledge and a strong emphasis on process and customer satisfaction to his current role overseeing Ford, VW, and Toyota dealerships within the group.   The Importance of Internet Sales Savvy: Transforming Automotive Dealership Leadership Key Takeaways Foundation of Experience: For an Internet Director to truly excel, they should have tangible experience in BDC roles, sales, and management. One-Price Dealer Model: Establishing a one-price, no-negotiation dealership fosters a streamlined process and builds trust with consumers. Community Engagement: Successful dealerships integrate community involvement into their business model, benefiting both local organizations and the dealership's reputation.   Rethinking Internet and BDC Management in Dealerships In today's fast-evolving automotive landscape, the role of the Internet Director holds significant weight. Yet, despite its importance, this position often lacks due recognition and appropriate resourcing in many dealerships. According to Justin Rody, a former Internet Director turned CFO, one core issue is placing individuals in these roles who haven't experienced the hustle and nuance of direct car sales. "It's almost like setting the person up for failure," Rody articulates, highlighting that the Internet manager should ideally have sales experience to truly grasp the complexities of the car buying process. Sean V. Bradley, in the podcast, shares a strong sentiment: "How can you tell me as a salesperson or a manager what to do, when to do it, how to do it? And you've never even taken up before." This speaks to the critical need for online and BDC managers to have firsthand sales and customer service exposure. Forcing a person into a managerial role without proper preparation or experience diminishes their potential for success and hampers dealership effectiveness. The overarching benefit here is clear. If Internet directors are equipped with comprehensive industry knowledge and hands-on experience, they can lead with authority, improve Internet sales integration, and foster a harmonious relationship with sales teams. Such a coherent setup not only boosts morale but lays the groundwork for more innovative sales strategies and efficient processes within the dealership.   The One-Price Model: Revolutionizing Consumer Trust and Efficiency The concept of a one-price store disrupts traditional dealership tactics by eliminating the negotiation phase that's been a cornerstone for many. When executed correctly, it not only streamlines the car-buying process but enhances the dealership's transparency and trust. Justin Rody testifies, "We haven't negotiated one car deal since 2007." For his dealership, the firm pricing strategy removes uncertainties and accelerates buying decisions. Bradley underscores how this aligns with efficiency, noting that "anything that elongates the process is counterproductive; taking 10 minutes to cook minute rice is a waste." The one-price model offers peace of mind to both customers and salespeople. By setting clear expectations, it ensures swift transactions and nurtures a reputation of honesty and reliability—an irresistible draw for many buyers. Moreover, this model aligns with broader automotive consumer trends where digital interaction and swift, transparent transactions are increasingly valued. By curtailing the negotiation process, dealerships can dedicate more resources to enhance the customer's buying journey, reinforcing loyalty and repeat business. Community Engagement: Enhancing Reputation and Building Trust Supporting local communities is more than just good public relations for car dealerships; it's a business imperative that boosts brand reputation and customer loyalty. Justin's dealership exemplifies this by engaging deeply with the community, notably through their innovative school car raffle initiative that has raised significant funds annually for local schools. As Rody shared, “That generated somewhere…like 50 to $80,000 of money that goes right to the general fund of the school." This initiative taps into the mutual benefits of a strong community-dealer relationship. For the dealership, it means fostering a positive public image and engendering goodwill among potential customers. It acts as a reciprocal arrangement where the community feels valued and wishes to support a business that shares its success. The concept is simple: when dealerships give back, they create an emotional connection, which is priceless in building long-term customer relationships. Moreover, integrating these acts of service into the dealership's marketing strategy by showcasing on platforms and websites bolsters SEO and web presence, ensuring potential customers notice the dealership for not just their cars but their values. Justin Rody's journey from an Internet Director to CFO within a dealership illustrates the transformative potential of industry experience when placed in strategic roles. His emphasis on transparent practices, streamlined processes, and community involvement paints a clear picture of a sustainable path forward for modern dealerships. By addressing both internal structure and external engagement, dealerships have the opportunity to cultivate enduring success in a competitive automotive market.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

You know that whole saying, “food for thought”?Well, we really do feed our thoughts… with other thoughts. And each one carries a specific frequency. Our thoughts are connected to those just above and just below them in vibration, which means we can spiral upward with ease or downward just as quickly. In this episode of The Prosperity Approach, I share how this one powerful principle has the ability to shift your mindset, energy, and results, without forcing anything. I'll show you how to recognize when you're spiraling down and how to gently guide yourself back up by garnishing your thoughts with virtue instead of disbelief. Tune in!The Obedient Rebels Guide to Quantum Leaps: https://www.prosperityapproach.com/obedientrebelrising—✨ Effortless success for the ambitious & god-centered woman begins here.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI readiness. We launched on Tuesday our new AI Readiness Kit. And so, Katie, just to start off, what’s in for the people who didn’t read all the emails? What’s in the thing, and why are people supposed to look into this? Katie Robbert – 00:16 So I’m really proud of this new piece that we put together because we talk a lot about the different frameworks. We talk about Five Ps, we talk about Six Cs, we talk about STEM, we talk about how do you measure ROI? And we talk about them all in different contexts. So we took the opportunity to— Speaker 3 – 00:42 Put them all together into one place. Katie Robbert – 00:44 In a hopefully coherent flow. To say, if you’re trying to get yourself together, if you’re trying to integrate AI, or if you already have and you’re struggling to really make it stick, use this AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit. So you can get that at TrustInsights.AI/kit. It’s really the best of the best. It’s all of our frameworks. But it’s not just, “Here’s a framework, good luck.” Speaker 3 – 01:18 There’s context around how to use it. Katie Robbert – 01:20 There’s checklists, there’s calculations, there’s explanations, there’s expectations—it’s basically the best alternative to having me and Chris sitting next to you when we can’t sit next to you to say, “You should think about doing this.” Speaker 3 – 01:41 You should probably think about this. Katie Robbert – 01:43 Here’s how you would approach this. So it’s sort of an— Speaker 3 – 01:46 Extension of me and Chris sitting with you to walk you through these things. Christopher S. Penn – 01:52 One of the questions that people have the most, especially as they start doing AI pilots and stuff, is what’s the ROI of our AI initiatives? There’s not been a lot of great answers for that question because people didn’t bother measuring their ROI before starting their AI stuff. So there’s nothing to compare it to. How do we help people with the kit figure out how to answer that question in a way that won’t get them fired, but also won’t involve lying? Katie Robbert – 02:32 It starts with doing your homework. So the unsatisfying answer for people is that you have to collect information, you have to do some requirements gathering, and this is how this particular kit, for lack of a better— Speaker 3 – 02:50 Term, it’s basically your toolbox of things, but it tells you how all the tools work together in concert. Katie Robbert – 02:55 So in order to do a basic ROI calculation, you want to have your data for TRIPS. You want to have your goal alignment through STEM. You want to have done the Five Ps. Using all of that information will then help you in a more efficient and expedient way to walk through an ROI calculation, and we give you the numbers that you should be looking at to do the calculation. You have to fill in the blanks. Speaker 3 – 03:22 Obviously we can’t do that for you. Katie Robbert – 03:24 That’s where our involvement ends. Speaker 3 – 03:28 From this kit. Katie Robbert – 03:29 But if you do all of those things, TRIPS is not a cumbersome process. Speaker 3 – 03:35 It’s really straightforward. The Five Ps, you can literally just— Katie Robbert – 03:39 Talk through it and write a couple of things down. STEM might be the more complicated thing because it includes thinking about what your goal as the business is. That might be one of the harder— Speaker 3 – 03:53 Pieces to put together. Katie Robbert – 03:55 But once you have that, you can calculate. So what we have in the kit is a basic AI calculation template which you can put into Excel. You could probably even spin up something in Google Colab or your generative AI of choice just to help you put together a template to walk through. Speaker 3 – 04:14 Let me input some numbers and then— Katie Robbert – 04:16 Tell me what I’m looking at. Speaker 3 – 04:18 So we’re looking at value of recovered— Katie Robbert – 04:20 Time, project AI enhanced process metric, implementation costs. All big fancy words for what did— Speaker 3 – 04:28 We spend and what did we get. Christopher S. Penn – 04:31 Yeah, ROI is one of those things that people overcomplicate. It’s what did you spend, what did you make, and then earn minus spent divided by spent. The hard part for a lot of people—one of the reasons why you have to use things like TRIPS—is there are four dimensions you can optimize the business on: bigger, better, faster, cheaper. That’s the short version, obviously. If AI can help you go faster, that’s a time savings. And then you have whatever your hourly, effective hourly rate is, if you spend an hour less doing stuff, then that’s essentially a time save, which turns into an opportunity cost, your money savings. Christopher S. Penn – 05:09 There’s the cheaper side, which is, if we don’t have to pay a person to do this, and a machine can do this, then we don’t pay that contractor or whatever for that thing. But the other side of the coin, the bigger and the better, is harder to measure. How do we help people understand the bigger, better side of it? Because that’s more on the revenue side. The faster, cheaper is on the expense side, let’s make things. But there’s a popular expression in finance: you can’t cut your way to growth. Christopher S. Penn – 05:37 So how do we get to people understanding the bigger, better side of things, how AI can make you more money? Katie Robbert – 05:48 That’s where the 5P framework comes in. So the 5Ps, if— Speaker 3 – 05:54 You’re unfamiliar, are purpose, people, process, platform, performance. Katie Robbert – 05:57 If you’ve been following us for even a hot second, you’ve had this— Speaker 3 – 06:01 Drilled into your brain. Katie Robbert – 06:03 Purpose. What is the question we’re trying to answer? What is the problem we’re trying to solve? Speaker 3 – 06:07 People: who’s involved internally and externally? Process— Speaker 4 – 06:09 How are we doing this in a— Speaker 3 – 06:11 Repeatable and scalable way? Platform: what tools are we using? And performance: did we answer the question? Did we solve the problem? Katie Robbert – 06:20 When you are introducing any new tech, anything new into your organization, AI or— Speaker 3 – 06:26 Otherwise, even if you’re introducing a whole new discipline, a new team, or if— Katie Robbert – 06:31 You’re introducing a new process to get you to scale better, you want to use the 5Ps because it touches upon—it’s a 360-degree checkpoint for everything. So how do you know that you did the thing? How do you know, other than looking at the numbers? So if I have a— Speaker 3 – 06:52 Dollar revenue today and 2 dollars revenue tomorrow. Katie Robbert – 06:55 Okay, great, I did something. But you have to figure out what it is that I did so that I can do more of it. And that’s where this toolkit, especially the Five Ps and TRIPS, is really going to— Speaker 3 – 07:08 Help you understand. Katie Robbert – 07:10 Here’s what I did, here’s what worked. It sounds really simple, Chris, because I mean, think about when we were working at the agency and we had a client that would spend six figures a month in ad spend. Now, myself and the analyst who was running point were very detail-oriented, very OCD, to make sure we knew exactly what was happening so that when things— Speaker 3 – 07:41 Worked, we could point to, “This is what’s working.” Katie Robbert – 07:44 The majority of people, that much data, that— Speaker 3 – 07:48 Much ad spend is really hard to keep track of. Katie Robbert – 07:52 So when something’s working, you’re, “Let’s just throw more money at it.” We’ve had clients who that’s— Speaker 3 – 07:59 Their solution to pretty much any problem. “Our numbers are down, let’s throw more—” Katie Robbert – 08:02 Money at it in order to do it correctly, in order to do it in a scalable way. So you can say, “This is what worked.” It’s not enough to do the ROI— Speaker 3 – 08:14 Calculation on its own. Katie Robbert – 08:16 You need to be doing your due— Speaker 3 – 08:17 Diligence and capturing the Five Ps in— Katie Robbert – 08:19 Order to understand, “This is what worked.” This is the part, this is this— Speaker 3 – 08:24 Teeny tiny part of the process is— Katie Robbert – 08:26 What we tweaked, and this is what— Speaker 3 – 08:28 Made the biggest difference. Katie Robbert – 08:29 If you’re not doing that work, then don’t bother doing the ROI calculation because you’re never going to know what’s getting you new numbers. Christopher S. Penn – 08:38 The other thing I think is important to remember there, and you need the Five Ps. So, you need user stories for this to some degree. If you want to talk about growth, you have to almost look like a BCG Growth Matrix where you have the amount of revenue something brings in and the amount of growth or market share that exists for that. So you have your stars—high growth, high market share. That is your thing. You have your cash cows—low growth, but boy, have you got the market share! You’re just making money. You’ve got your dogs, which is the low growth, low revenue. And then you have your high growth, low revenue, which is the question marks. And that is, there might be a there, but we’re not sure. Christopher S. Penn – 09:24 If you don’t use the AI Readiness Toolkit, you don’t have time or resources to create the question marks that could become the stars. If you’re just trying to put out fires constantly—if you’re in reactive mode constantly—you never see the question marks. You never get a chance to address the question marks. And that’s where I feel a lot of people with AI are stuck. They’re not getting the faster, cheaper part down, so they can’t ever invest in the things that will lead to bigger, better. Katie Robbert – 10:01 I agree with that. Speaker 3 – 10:03 And the other piece that we haven’t— Katie Robbert – 10:05 Talked about that’s in here in the AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit is the— Speaker 3 – 10:10 Six Cs, the Six Cs of data quality. Katie Robbert – 10:15 And if you’re listening to us, you’re probably, “Five Ps, Six Cs!” Oh my God! This is all very jargony, and it is. But I will throw down against anyone who says that it’s just jargon because we’ve worked really hard to make sure that, yes, while marketers love their alliteration because it’s easy to remember, there’s actual substance. So the Six Cs, I actually later this week, as we’re recording this podcast, I’m doing a session with the Marketing AI Institute on using the Six Cs to do a data quality audit. Because as any marketer knows, garbage in, garbage out. So if you don’t have good quality data, especially as you’re trying to determine your AI strategy, why the heck are you doing it at all? Speaker 3 – 11:09 And so using the Six Cs to— Katie Robbert – 11:11 Look at your financial data, to look at your marketing channel data, to look— Speaker 3 – 11:17 At your acquisition data, to look at— Katie Robbert – 11:18 Your conversion data, to understand: do I have good quality data to make decisions? Speaker 3 – 11:25 To put it into the matrix that Chris was just talking about. Katie Robbert – 11:30 We walk through all of those pieces. I’m just looking at it now, and being so close to it, it’s nice to take a step back. I’m, “Oh, that’s a really nice strategic alignment template!” Speaker 3 – 11:41 “Hey, look at all of those things that I walk you through in order—” Katie Robbert – 11:44 To figure out, “Is this aligned?” And it sounds like I’m doing some sort of pitch. I’m genuinely, “Oh, wow, I forgot I did that. That’s really great.” That’s incredibly helpful in order to get all of that data. So we go through TRIPS, we go through the strategic alignment, then we give you the ROI calculator, and then we give you an assessment to see: okay, all that said, what’s your AI readiness score? Do you have what you need to not only integrate AI, but keep it and make it work and make it— Speaker 3 – 12:20 Profitable and bring in more revenue and— Katie Robbert – 12:22 Find those question marks and do more innovation? Christopher S. Penn – 12:26 So someone goes through the kit and they end up with an AI ready score of 2. What do they do? Katie Robbert – 12:36 It really depends on where. So one of the things that we have in here is we actually have some instructions. So, “Scores below 3 in any category indicate more focused attention before proceeding with implementation.” Speaker 3 – 12:54 And so, implementation guidance: “Conduct the assessment with a diverse group of stakeholders and so on and so forth.” Katie Robbert – 12:59 It’s basic instructions, but because you’re doing it in a thoughtful, organized way, you can see where your weak spots are. Think of it almost as a SWOT— Speaker 3 – 13:11 Analysis for your internal organization. And where are your opportunities? Katie Robbert – 13:15 Where are your threats? But it’s all based on your own data. Speaker 3 – 13:19 So you’re not looking at your competitors right now. Katie Robbert – 13:20 You’re still focused on if our weak spot is our team’s AI literacy— Speaker 3 – 13:26 Let’s start there, let’s get some education. Katie Robbert – 13:28 Let’s figure out our next steps. If our weak spot is the platforms themselves, then let’s look at what— Speaker 3 – 13:36 It is we’re trying to do with our goals and figure out what platforms— Katie Robbert – 13:40 Can do those things, those feature. What has that feature set? If our lowest score is in process, let’s just go ahead, take a— Speaker 3 – 13:50 Step back and say, “How are we doing this?” Katie Robbert – 13:52 If the answer is, “Well, we’re all just making it happen and we don’t have it written down,” that’s a great opportunity because AI is really rock solid at those repeatable things. So the more detailed and in-the-weeds your process documentation is, the better AI is going to be at making those things automated. Christopher S. Penn – 14:17 So you mean I can’t just, I don’t know, give everyone a ChatGPT license, call it a day, and say, “Yes, now we’re an AI-forward company”? Katie Robbert – 14:24 I mean, you can, and I’ll give you a thumbs up and say, “Good luck.” Christopher S. Penn – 14:31 But that’s for a lot of people, that’s what they think AI readiness means. Katie Robbert – 14:36 And AI readiness is as much of— Speaker 3 – 14:41 A mental readiness as it is a— Katie Robbert – 14:44 Physical readiness. So think about people who do big sporting events like marathons and triathlons and any kind of a competition. They always talk about not just their— Speaker 3 – 14:57 Physical training, but their mental training. Katie Robbert – 15:00 Because come the day of whatever the competition is, their body has the muscle memory already. It’s more of a mental game at that point. So walking through the— Speaker 3 – 15:12 5Ps, talking through the people, figuring out— Katie Robbert – 15:15 The AI literacy, talking about the fears and are people even— Speaker 3 – 15:19 Willing to do this? That’s your mental readiness. Katie Robbert – 15:23 And if you’re skipping over doing that assessment to figure out where your team’s heads are at, or do— Speaker 3 – 15:30 They even want to do this? Forcing it on them, which we’ve seen. Katie Robbert – 15:34 We actually, I think our podcast and— Speaker 3 – 15:38 Newsletters last week or the week before. Katie Robbert – 15:40 Were talking about the Duolingo disaster where the CEO was saying, “AI is replacing,” “you have to live with it.” But then there was a lot of other people in leadership positions who were basically talking down to people, creating fear around their jobs, flat out firing people, saying, “Technology is going to do this for you.” That’s not the mental game you want to play. If you want to play that game, this is probably the wrong place for you. But if you need to assess if my team is even open to doing this—because if not, all of this is for nothing. So this is a good checkpoint to say, “Are they even interested in doing this?” Speaker 3 – 16:25 And then your own self-assessment, you— Katie Robbert – 16:27 May find that there are your own set of blind spots that AI is not going to fix for you. Christopher S. Penn – 16:38 Or it might. So as a very tactical example, I hate doing documentation. I really do. It’s not my favorite thing in the world, but I also recognize the vital importance of it as part of the process. So that when I hand off a software deliverable to a client, they know what it does and they can self-serve. But that was an area where clearly, if you ask for it, you can say to AI, “Help me write the documentation from this code base, help me document the code itself, and things.” So there are opportunities even there to say, “Hey, here’s the thing you don’t like doing, and the machine can do it for you.” One of the questions that a lot of folks in leadership positions have that is challenging to answer is how quickly can we get ready for AI? Christopher S. Penn – 17:28 Because they say, “We’re falling behind, Katie, we’re behind. We’re falling behind. We need to catch up, we need to become a leader in this space.” How does someone use the AI Readiness Toolkit? And then what kind of answer can you give that leader to say, “Okay, here’s generally how quickly you can get caught up?” Katie Robbert – 17:48 I mean, that’s such a big question. Speaker 3 – 17:50 There’s so many dependencies. Katie Robbert – 17:53 But good news is that in the AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit, we do include a template to chart your AI course. Speaker 3 – 18:03 We give you a roadmap template based— Katie Robbert – 18:06 On all of the data that you’ve collected. You’ve done the assessment, you’ve done the homework. So now these are my weak spots. This is what I’m going to work on. This is what I want to do with it. Next, we actually give you the— Speaker 3 – 18:20 Template to walk through to set up that plan. Katie Robbert – 18:22 And what I tell people is your ability to catch up, quote, unquote, is really dependent on you and your team. Technology can do the work; the process can be documented. It’s the people that are going to determine whether or not you can do this quickly. I’ve heard from some of our clients, “We need to move—” Speaker 3 – 18:51 Faster, we need to move faster. Katie Robbert – 18:52 And so then when I ask, “What’s—” Speaker 3 – 18:54 Preventing you, because you clearly, you’re already there, what’s preventing you from moving faster? Katie Robbert – 18:59 And they often say, “Well, the team.” That is always going to be a sticking point. And that is where you have to spend a lot of your time, making— Speaker 3 – 19:08 Sure that they’re educated, making sure they— Katie Robbert – 19:09 Have the resources they need, making sure— Speaker 3 – 19:12 You, as a leader, are setting clear expectations. Katie Robbert – 19:14 And all of that goes into your roadmap. And so right now, you can make it as granular as you want. It’s broken out by quarters. We go through focus areas, specific AI initiatives. Speaker 3 – 19:25 You can pull that from TRIPS. You have your Five Ps, you have your time and budget, which you pull from your ROI calculation. You have your dependencies, things— Katie Robbert – 19:34 That may prevent because maybe you haven’t chosen the right tool yet. Oh, and by the way, we give— Speaker 3 – 19:37 You a whole template for how to— Katie Robbert – 19:39 Work with vendors on how to choose the right tool. There are a lot of things that can make it go faster or make it go slower. And it really depends on—I personally— Speaker 3 – 19:52 My answer is always the people. Katie Robbert – 19:54 How many people are involved and what is their readiness? Speaker 3 – 19:57 What is their willingness to do this? Christopher S. Penn – 20:01 Does the kit help? If I am an entrepreneur, I’m a single person, I’ve got a new idea, I’ve got a new company I want to start. It’s going to be an AI company. Katie, do I need this, or can I just go ahead and make an AI company and say, “I have an AI company now”? Because we’ve seen a lot of people, “Oh, I’m now running my own AI company. I’m a company of one.” There’s nothing wrong with that. But how would the kit help me make my AI company better? Katie Robbert – 20:32 I think specifically the part that would help any solopreneur—and I do highly recommend individuals as well as large companies taking a look at this AI Strategy Kit. I think if I’m an individual, the thing that I’m going to focus on specifically is the 5P Integration Checklist. So what we’ve done is we’ve built out a very long checklist for— Speaker 3 – 20:56 Each of the Ps, so that you can say, “Do I have this information?” Katie Robbert – 21:02 Do I need to go get this information? Speaker 3 – 21:04 Do I need to create this thing— Katie Robbert – 21:06 Or is this not applicable to me? So you can take all of those questions for each of the Five Ps and go, “I’m good. I’m ready.” Speaker 3 – 21:16 Now I can go ahead and move— Katie Robbert – 21:17 Forward with my ROI calculation, with TRIPS, with the Six Cs, whatever it is—my roadmap, my vendor selection. Speaker 3 – 21:27 If you take nothing else away from— Katie Robbert – 21:29 This toolkit, the 5P Integration Checklist is going to be something that you want to return to over and over again. Because the way that we design the 5Ps is that it can either be very quick for an individual, or it can be very big and in-depth for a very large-scale, enterprise-size company. And it really is flexible in that way. So not all of the things may apply to you, but I would guarantee that most of them do. Christopher S. Penn – 21:55 So, last question and the toughest question. How much does this thing cost? Because it sounds expensive. Katie Robbert – 22:01 Oh my gosh, it’s free. Christopher S. Penn – 22:03 Why are we giving it away for free? It sounds like it’s worth 50 grand. Katie Robbert – 22:07 If we do the implementation of all of this, it probably would be, but what I wanted to do was really give people the tools to self-serve. So this is all of our—Chris, you and— Speaker 3 – 22:22 I—this is our combined expertise. This is all of the things that— Katie Robbert – 22:26 We know and we live and breathe every day. There’s this misunderstanding that, Chris, you just push the buttons and build things. But what people don’t see is all of this, all of the background that goes into actually being able to grow and scale and learn all of the new technology. And in this kit is all of that. That’s what we put here. So, yes, we’re going to ask you for your contact information. Yes, we might reach out and say, “Hey, how did you like it?” But it’s free. It is 26 pages of free information for you, put together by us, our brains. As I said, it’s essentially as if you have one of us sitting on either side of you, looking— Speaker 3 – 23:16 Over your shoulder and coaching you through— Katie Robbert – 23:18 Figuring out where you are with your AI integration. Christopher S. Penn – 23:23 So if you would like $50,000 worth of free consulting, go to TrustInsights.AI/kit and you can download it for free.

5.30.25 Hour 1, Denton Day who is filling in for Kevin Sheehan talks about the NBA Playoffs and keys in the Knicks vs Pacers series going to 6 games. Denton Day drops a theory on why he believes the Ken Rosenthal article slamming the Nationals organization was an inside job. Denton updates you on the recent sports news across multiple leagues including the NFL and NBA.

The Knicks force a game 6 with a great defensive effort and an outstanding performance by Jalen Brunson.

Boomer said if they can win in Indy tomorrow night, they will blow them out at home in game 7.
