HR leaders are being asked to help everyone navigate AI at work. But many are still figuring out what it means for their own roles. How do you guide an organization through a change you haven't been trained for yourself? And what happens to the future talent pipeline if the work that once helped people start their careers begins to change? My special guest today is Amy Dufrane, CEO of HRCI, and she's simplifying how to future-proof HR in the age of AI. We'll talk about why HR professionals feel vulnerable, what leaders need to learn now, and why job design and succession planning can't wait. We'll also explore the part each of us plays in staying relevant as work changes. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: Why HR professionals can feel responsible for guiding AI adoption while still asking what it means for their own jobs. What changing opportunities for early-career workers could mean for the future leadership pipeline. Why HR needs to pay attention to organizational design, job design, and succession planning now. How managers can help people feel more comfortable learning and working with AI. Why each of us has a responsibility to keep developing our skills as work changes. If you work in HR and have been wondering where to begin, this conversation is for you.

In this Retail Technology Spotlight series, Chris Walton sits down with Julian Sellan, Senior Supply Chain Engineer at Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, and Nick Cianfarani, Senior Account Manager at Dematic, to explore one of the biggest questions facing supply chain leaders today: How do you decide when it's time to upgrade your logistics network and when is it smarter to start over? Through the lens of Southern Glazer's ongoing network transformation, Julian and Nick break down what goes into evaluating aging facilities, consolidating distribution centers, and designing an operation that can meet today's demand without becoming obsolete tomorrow. From modular pick modules and miles of conveyor to warehouse software that acts as the "brain" behind the operation, the conversation explores what it takes to build flexibility into a logistics network from day one. Julian and Nick also dig into the often overlooked human side of automation, including why standardization, employee buy-in, knowledge transfer, and "hypercare" can make or break a successful go-live. And the results are already beginning to show, with Southern Glazer's Louisiana operation doubling throughput and reducing delivery frequency from five days a week to four. From deciding between retrofit and greenfield facilities to designing warehouses that can evolve alongside changing consumer demand, this episode offers a practical look inside what it really takes to modernize a logistics network without designing yourself into the next problem. Key Topics Covered: 00:03:50 - Why Southern Glazer's began reevaluating its logistics network 00:05:46 - How to decide between upgrading an existing facility or building new 00:09:18 - Why consolidation can reduce complexity and unlock new efficiencies 00:11:09 - How to right-size a facility for today's demand and tomorrow's growth 00:14:14 - Inside the modular automation system designed for Southern Glazer's 00:19:57 - Why warehouse software is the "brain" behind automation 00:24:13 - Why software alignment needs to happen before the hardware goes in 00:25:18 - How standardization makes new facility rollouts easier over time 00:27:54 - The biggest watch-outs when designing and launching an automated facility 00:33:53 - Why "hypercare" and employee buy-in are critical to a successful go-live 00:35:35 - The results Southern Glazer's is already seeing from its new network 00:37:18 - How continuous partnership helps supply chain teams prepare for what's next Want to learn more about Southern Glazer's automation journey?

Send us Fan MailCan businesses still be a force for good?It's a surprisingly complicated question.Over the past decade, companies have been encouraged to take stands on social issues, invest in their communities, and think beyond shareholder value. More recently, many of those same organizations have faced growing political scrutiny, shifting consumer expectations, and mounting pressure to focus on short-term performance.So where does that leave corporate purpose?In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy Goldman sits down with Scott M. Curran—founder and CEO of Beyond Advisers, former General Counsel of the Clinton Foundation, and author of BETTER GOOD: A Simple System for Creating Lasting Impact.Rather than arguing that organizations simply need to "do more good," Scott makes the case for doing better good: building systems that create measurable, lasting impact instead of relying on one-off initiatives or performative gestures.Together, they discuss: Why corporate purpose has become more complicated in today's political climate.  The difference between meaningful impact and performative activism.  Why systems matter more than good intentions.  How AI can both strengthen—and undermine—authentic leadership.  Whether businesses should solve society's biggest problems at all.  How leaders can create cultures of purpose that survive leadership transitions.  Why trust may be the most valuable currency organizations have in the years ahead. As AI transforms work and institutions continue to evolve, the conversation isn't simply about doing more good.It's about designing organizations that can keep doing good—even when the world around them changes.

What do you do when you've got enough to stop working, but spending it means you can never buy again? And, even once you've built something worth passing on, how do you stop it being sold off the moment you're gone? Rob & Rob answer two tricky listener questions on this week's show. (00:41) Liam has an HMO, a couple of single lets and a construction company. He could replace his income tomorrow by putting his refinance money into two more HMOs, but that leaves nothing to recycle into future projects. Rob D refuses to treat this as a choice between two options. (05:03) Ryan's portfolio is growing and his attention has turned to the generations after him. From wills to trusts, what does he need to be thinking about now? Rob B covers the structures an advisor might put in front of him, and the thing that matters more than all of them. Enjoy the show?

Send us Fan MailFor years, we've talked about how artificial intelligence could make government faster, smarter, and more efficient.But there's another side to the story.AI isn't just helping governments. It's empowering citizens, businesses, and watchdog groups to interact with public institutions at a scale those institutions were never designed to handle.In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy Goldman sits down with Erica Olsen, CEO of Madison AI, a company building AI-powered tools that help cities and counties modernize everything from public records requests to policy research and administrative workflows.The conversation begins with a surprising challenge: AI-generated public records requests are overwhelming local governments across the country, creating new tensions between transparency, compliance, and limited public resources.But it quickly expands into something much bigger.Together, they explore: Why AI is changing the balance of power between citizens and institutions.  Whether transparency laws are prepared for an age of automation.  How governments can use AI without sacrificing public trust.  Why digital infrastructure may become as important as physical infrastructure.  The difference between automating bureaucracy and improving democracy.  What responsible AI deployment looks like in the public sector.  Why the future of government may depend less on policy—and more on operational capacity. As AI accelerates both sides of the equation, governments face a difficult challenge:How do you remain transparent, accountable, and accessible when everyone suddenly has superpowers?

Send us Fan MailFor years, leadership was about managing change.Today, it feels more like surviving it.AI is reshaping industries. Geopolitical tensions are redrawing supply chains.

The leaders who succeed won't simply adopt new technology faster—they'll develop entirely new ways of thinking, adapting, and leading. Together, they discuss: Why AI isn't the whole story—and why leaders need a wider lens.  The rise of adaptive intelligence as a leadership advantage.  Why emotional intelligence becomes more—not less—important in an AI-driven world.  How organizations can build cultures that thrive amid uncertainty instead of resisting it. Because the future won't be shaped by leaders who cling to yesterday's playbook; it will belong to those willing to write a new one.

Send us Fan MailWe're living through one of the fastest periods of workplace transformation in modern history. AI is reshaping jobs, layoffs have become a recurring reality, and many professionals are quietly asking themselves a question they never expected to ask:Can I keep working like this?In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy Goldman sits down with DJ DiDonna, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and author of BIG TIME OFF, to explore why stepping away from work may become one of the most important career strategies of the AI era.Drawing on years of research and hundreds of conversations with professionals who have taken extended breaks, DJ argues that sabbaticals aren't simply about recovering from burnout—they're about creating the space to rethink your work, your priorities, and your future before someone else makes that decision for you.Together, they discuss:How AI and rapid technological change are making career reinvention a continuous process. Why layoffs and unexpected career interruptions can become opportunities for reflection instead of just setbacks. The surprising competitive advantage that comes from intentionally creating time to think. How organizations can build cultures that prioritize long-term resilience instead of perpetual exhaustion. This isn't just a conversation about taking time off. It's about whether we've built a definition of career success that's no longer fit for the future—and what it might look like to replace it with something more sustainable.

The accounting profession is evolving, and so is the role of today's CPA.In this episode of Future-Proof, we sit down with Savedra Scott, President and Owner of Savvy Financial Solutions and the newly elected Chair of the MACPA Board of Directors, to discuss the evolving role of CPAs and the opportunities shaping the profession's future.Savedra shares why today's accountants are moving beyond being historians of the numbers to becoming trusted advisors and strategic business partners. She also explores the profession's biggest challenges, including talent shortages, burnout, artificial intelligence, and the need to better communicate the value and flexibility of a CPA career to the next generation.This conversation offers an inspiring look at how leadership, innovation, and a commitment to service can help build a stronger, more future-ready profession.Resources:Beyond The Numbers, MACPA interview with Savedra ScottSavvy Financial Solutions MACPA Volunteer Opportunities

It's a technophobe's worst nightmare. A piece of technology seems to have more powers than its inventors thought, and, in modern parlance, it goes rogue. In the age of AI, the fear becomes more real. Earlier this month, a test by OpenAI seems to have done just that. It went beyond the parameters set for itself and launched a cyber attack on what it was testing. The scion of science here in Newstalk joins Bobby to calm our nerves. Jonathan mccrea, presenter of Futureproof

In this Cannes special episode of the Future Proof podcast, Duncan Southgate sits down with Mike Villalobos of Seedtag to explore how context drives media effectiveness. Together, they discuss the move from cookie-based targeting to contextual understanding, why interest, intent and emotion are becoming critical marketing signals, and how advances in AI could help brands better understand culture, content and consumer behaviour without relying on personal data.

Send us Fan MailFor years, the AI industry has operated under a simple assumption: talent is global.That assumption is beginning to break.As governments increasingly view advanced AI as a matter of national security—not just commercial competition—companies are finding themselves caught between innovation, geopolitics, immigration policy, and global talent markets.In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy sits down with David Krueger, AI researcher and professor, to explore one of the biggest shifts happening beneath the surface of the AI boom.Together they discuss: Why AI is becoming a geopolitical asset rather than simply another technology.  The implications of limiting access to frontier AI research.  Whether restricting international talent ultimately strengthens—or weakens—the United States.  How companies should think about trust, security, and collaboration.  The unintended consequences of an increasingly fragmented AI ecosystem.  Whether we're entering a technological Cold War—and what that means for everyone else. This conversation goes well beyond one company's policies. It's about who gets to build the future, who gets left behind, and how national security is reshaping one of the fastest-moving industries in history.

In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Preston Zeller—SaaS operator, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and founder of Psalm Log—on what it actually takes to scale a founder-led company intentionally in the age of AI. The conversation pulls back the curtain on the messy reality of implementing artificial intelligence inside fast-growth organizations, the tension between efficiency and humanity, and why performative AI adoption falls flat.Together, they dig into agent orchestration, shifting buyer behavior, the shrinking value of classic SEO, and what a truly AI-native company looks like—not just as a tech stack, but as a culture built to last. Preston also shares leadership lessons from his days scaling at DiscoverOrg (now ZoomInfo) and A Cloud Guru, and how storytelling has underpinned every move he's made—from startups to the grief community. If you want to deploy AI without burning out your team or gutting your culture, this conversation gives you intelligence you can use and a challenge to keep humans at the center.Key Takeaways00:00 Scaling AI with Intentionality05:51 Understanding the adoption curve07:25 Excessive spending at Twitter13:02 Finding purpose in work challenges14:13 Implementing new tools effectively18:44 Managing AI with Paperclip AI20:21 Discussing different AI model uses25:18 Challenges in scaling SaaS startups27:48 Automating digital advertising32:09 Balancing AI use with human input34:54 Financial literacy and communication gap37:09 Understanding the impact of work42:06 The importance of authenticity online45:15 Discussing grief and mental health documentary46:13 Show resources and future proof takeawayTweetable Quotes“Strategic AI is when you can say in one sentence the problem it solves and who it frees up.” — Jeff Mains 47:10“If you're not careful, you'll get people who are just clerical button-pushers, rubber-stamping whatever comes out of AI instead of using it as a collaborator.” — Preston Zeller 32:09“High performers get more work but not more reward—culture eats meritocracy if you're not intentional.” — Preston Zeller 11:02“You can scale headcount and revenue, but if your team checks out, you've already lost.” — Jeff Mains 32:08“Own the niche and you're in a better position than just being general.

Jeremy Goldman is VP Editorial & Insights at RETHINK Retail, a community platform supporting retailers, brand leaders, logistics practitioners, and AI specialists. Before joining RETHINK Retail, he founded and sold the Firebrand Group, spent years as an analyst at eMarketer, and has been building e-commerce properties since 2000. He also runs a podcast called Future Proof.This episode examines the gap between AI hype and business reality. Jeremy argues that agentic commerce attracts far more attention than the near-term use cases justify, and that the brands quietly gaining ground are the ones who never stopped running the fundamentals.The conversation covers where AI is delivering real results today, including enhanced product discovery for high-consideration SKUs, and what is actually shifting in search as LLMs reshape how buyers find products. Jeremy and Eitan work through why Google is more relevant than the current discourse suggests, what the rise of TikTok Shop signals about the pace of social commerce adoption, and why community building has become one of the most underrated growth levers available to brands right now.Listeners will leave with a clearer read on where the real ROI in AI sits in 2026, a sharper sense of which fundamentals are worth doubling down on, and a framework for knowing whether their company is commerce-optimized, marketing-optimized, or falling short on both.Website: https://www.vimmi.netEmail us: info@vimmi.netPodcast website: https://vimmi.net/commerce-untold/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VimmiVideoCommerce/featuredGuest: Jeremy Goldman, VP Editorial & Insights, RETHINK RetailJeremy Goldman's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremygoldmanRETHINK Retail: https://rethink.industries/Key Takeaways:• Agentic commerce is real technology, but the claim that AI will handle all buying decisions within two years is not where the near-term reality lands• AI-driven product discovery is already delivering measurable results for large-catalog, high-consideration SKUs, and that is where brands should focus first• Most companies are either commerce-optimized or marketing-optimized, rarely both, and knowing which one you are determines where the gaps are• Community is the growth lever most brands are underinvesting in: a brand with a genuine community is structurally harder to displace than one relying solely on paid acquisition• When hype cycles hit, the companies that lean back into fundamentals, email, checkout friction, fulfillment speed, and conversion rate, take share from everyone else while they are distractedChapters:[00:12] Introduction and Inside RETHINK Retail[01:37] From E-Commerce Builder to Editorial Leader: Jeremy's Career Thread[05:44] Agentic Commerce: Real Technology, Outsized Claims[07:34] Where AI Is Delivering Real Results in Retail Today[10:28] Google Is Not Out: AI Search and the LLM Landscape[15:27] Commerce vs. Marketing: Knowing What Kind of Company You Are[18:49] Community Building as the Next Growth Unlock for Brands[21:26] TikTok Shop and Why Social Commerce Is Catching On[23:41] Why the Fundamentals Win When Everyone Else Chases Hype[28:36] Omnichannel Strategy: When and How to Add a New Channel[30:33] What Jeremy Is Focused on in the Second Half of 2026

This week on Find Your Dream Job, HR leader and career coach Marguerite McAleer talks about how to future-proof your career in the age of AI. Marguerite sees AI less as a replacement and more as a tool for handling routine tasks, freeing you to focus on the work machines can't do: strategic thinking, creativity, and human relationships.Marguerite also pulls back the curtain on what hiring looks like from her side of the desk, where a single job posting can attract more than 150 applications. She says to forget the spray-and-pray approach. Be choosy, go after roles that feel like a fit, and put your own voice back into anything AI helps you write. She explains why skills are increasingly valued over credentials, how the STAR method can help you stand out in an interview, and why anyone changing careers should lead with connection rather than an apology.About Our Guest:Marguerite McAleer is an HR leader and a career coach.Resources in This Episode:Connect with Marguerite on LinkedIn.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailWe're living through the fastest technological acceleration in human history.Every week brings a new AI model, a new productivity tool, and a new prediction that everything is about to change forever.And yet somehow, most people feel less focused, less certain, and more overwhelmed than ever.In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., I sit down with Fredric Marshall, author of THRIVE: The Antidote to Future Shock, to explore a possibility we don't talk about enough:What if the biggest risk of AI isn't that it replaces humans?What if it's that it exhausts them?Fred has spent decades helping organizations like Apple, Pfizer, and Genentech navigate periods of intense change. His argument is that most organizations aren't suffering from a technology problem. They're suffering from an attention problem.We're surrounded by tools designed to save time, yet nobody seems to have any.We have more information than ever, yet many leaders feel less certain.And we keep calling it a productivity problem when it may actually be a human capacity problem.We discuss: Why "future shock" may be the defining leadership challenge of the AI era  How AI can reduce friction—or quietly create more of it  Why burnout is often a systems problem disguised as a personal one  The hidden cost of constant context switching  Why clarity may become more valuable than speed  How leaders can separate signal from noise  What it actually means to thrive during exponential change Because if every problem gets solved with another app, another dashboard, or another AI assistant...At some point, someone has to manage all those solutions.

In this episode of Future-Proof, we sit down with Anshul Agrawal, founder of June15 Consulting, to separate fact from fiction when it comes to offshoring in the accounting profession.Anshul shares why successful offshoring is about more than cost savings. It requires a shift in mindset, treating offshore professionals as true members of your team, investing in training and culture, and building systems that support long-term success. He also discusses common mistakes firms make, practical considerations around data security and compliance, and how firms of all sizes can approach global staffing strategically.Whether you're actively considering offshoring or simply looking for new ways to address the talent shortage, this conversation offers practical guidance for building stronger, more resilient teams.Resources:June15 ConsultingAnshul Agrawal on LinkedInMACPA Offshoring Office Hours with Anshul Agrawal

Hello! This is Episode 408. This is Way #8 of the 44 Ways to Create Your Sustainable Home series. We are in Section Two: Sustainable Design Strategies. The ways I include in this section are about the strategic design decisions that have consequences well beyond the immediate project, and Way #8 is a strong example of that. Way #8 is Future Proofing Your Design with Accessibility. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/408] I want to start by saying that the word ‘accessibility’ comes with a lot of connotations for some people, and it can immediately bring to mind images of hospital-grade handrails, institutional flooring, and design that feels clinical rather than inclusions you’ll happily consider for your future home. However, that is not what accessible design means, and it is not what this episode is about. What it is about is designing a home that works well for people, at every age and stage of life, without requiring expensive modification when circumstances change. And the design features that achieve that are, in most cases, simply good design that support the longevity, durability and ease of use of your home, whether you’re building new or renovating. In this episode, I take you through what accessible design actually means in a residential context, the case for including it from the brief stage, the specific features worth considering in your project, and how to approach it with your design team. As always, if you'd like to access a full transcript of this episode and links to any resources I mention, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/408. Now, let's dive in!

Guest Ronan Perceval began his journey in the beaty industry as a receptionist at a busy salon in Dublin, Ireland. While he loved the salon culture and people, he found that constant "admin-y conversations" -- like explaining the parking situation or cancellation policy -- were sapping taking time away from more meaningful client interactions. Now founder & CEO of Phorest Salon Software, Ronan designs AI tools that handle the admin, so service providers can focus on what we do best -- making our guests look and feel great.  Phorest AI handles admin like booking, consultation forms and self check-in, but now there's so much more. Stylists can use mobile apps to track their tickets, tips and progress toward earling goals, with gamification features. Phorest even integrates with Instagram to help you micro-target ads to the perfect clients in your area. And once you have a returning client, Phorest will track their services and retail purchasing patterns so you can be ready with the next recommendation.  Listen for the human side of the story.    Follow Summit Salon Business Center on Instagram @SummitSalon, and on TikTok at SummitSalon.

I have put together the three skills that I think are the most helpful, and that science is already pointing to being the most helpful. And all of these qualities work no matter what your job is and are relevant for our personal lives too.
