What does it really take to build an AI-ready network in 2025? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Vikas Butaney from Cisco and Ali Tehrani from Presidio to unpack the biggest announcements from Cisco's Partner Summit and discuss how their collaboration is helping enterprises modernise networks for the AI era. Together, we explore how businesses can move faster, strengthen security, and simplify operations while adapting to a world of continuous data flow and intelligent automation. Vikas shares how Cisco's strategy is built around three customer imperatives: AI ready data centers, future proof workplaces, and digital resilience. He talks about how Cisco is weaving these priorities into new innovations such as secure routers with five times the throughput, Wi Fi 7 access points, and unified dashboards that bring Catalyst Center and Meraki together for a single view of the network. He also introduces AI Canvas, a multiplayer workspace that allows NetOps and SecOps teams to collaborate in real time, showing what it looks like when AI becomes part of the operational fabric rather than an add on. Ali joins the conversation with the partner's perspective, explaining how Presidio brings Cisco's architecture to life through the last mile of execution. He describes how the Cisco Unified Branch initiative uses AI workflows and branches as code to deliver zero touch rollout across thousands of sites. By combining automation, golden configuration templates, and telemetry driven SLAs, Presidio helps customers reduce deployment times from weeks to minutes while maintaining consistent performance and security. Throughout our discussion, we compare AI for networking, where AI helps to run and optimise the network, with networking for AI, which provides the infrastructure to power high volume AI workloads. We talk about how Cisco is building security directly into the network with Access Manager, simplifying IoT segmentation, and preparing for a post quantum world. This episode offers a clear, inside look at how Cisco and Presidio are shaping the next generation of secure, intelligent networks.

Steve shares why it's essential for leaders to embrace AI as a collaborative partner, not a replacement, and how systems thinking can help us design more resilient, adaptive organizations.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1181: Today we're talking about an EV market hitting the brakes post–tax credit, why most electric drivers are just fine charging at home, and Amazon's billion-dollar bet on future jobs—while cutting tens of thousands of its own.Show Notes with links:The EV market is undergoing a “recalibration” following the end of the federal $7,500 tax credit. J.D. Power says October electric vehicle deliveries are expected to drop 43% from last year, taking EV market share from 8.5% down to just 5.2%.The September “last call” for the credit pushed EV share to nearly 13%, creating a hangover in October sales.Gasoline models now account for nearly 80% of retail sales, while hybrids jumped two full points to 14%J.D. Power's Tyson Jominy. “The recent EV market correction underscores a critical lesson: Consumers prefer having access to a range of powertrain options.”Do you imagine EV drivers are circling parking lots hunting for chargers? Think again. About 80% of all EV charging happens right at home — quietly, conveniently, and far cheaper than fueling up at a gas pump.The International Energy Agency reports 83% of EV charging in the U.S. and 80% in Canada happens at home.J.D. Power's EV Experience Study shows drivers rate home charging satisfaction at 85/100 versus just 50/100 for public chargers.“Home charging remains the single biggest advantage of owning an EV,” said Brent Gruber, executive director of EV practice at J.D. Power.Amazon is sending a mixed message to the labor market this week. The tech giant is investing billions to train millions for the “future of work” — while preparing to lay off tens of thousands of its own.The company launched Future Ready 2030, a $2.5 billion initiative aimed at training 50 million employees, students, and job seekers worldwide.At the same time, Amazon is reportedly cutting up to 30,000 corporate jobs, about 10% of its white-collar workforce — its largest round of layoffs since 2022.“Whether someone dreams of working at Amazon, works here now, or has moved on to their next chapter, our goal is the same: helping them have access to the education and training needed to thrive in whatever comes next,” said Beth Galetti, Amazon's SVP of People Experience and Technology.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:15 Paul's hat from Kazakhstan2:05 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with foureyes on Nov. 53:00 EV Market Hits Recalibration in October6:17 83% of American EV Drivers Charge At Home9:42 Amazon Invests $2.5B In Training, Cuts 30K White-Collar JobsJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
What if a health system could be massive and still feel local to every patient it serves? We sit down with Dr. MaCalus Hogan, chair of orthopedic surgery at UPMC, to unpack how a hybrid model—academic, community-employed, and private partners—can deliver scale without sameness. Dr. Hogan shares the leadership habits that shaped his path (mentorship, humility, listening first) and how those habits translate into practical decisions that align surgeons, hospitals, and health plans around value.We pull back the curtain on horizontal integration—building trust and shared standards across regions—before moving into vertical integration that connects financing, bundles, post-acute care, and data. Dr. Hogan explains how UPMC leveraged CJR-era lessons to create surgeon-built programs for quality and cost, mirrored within a 4M+ member health plan. Expect clear insights on center-of-excellence designations, optimizing post-acute spend, and the realities of TEAMS participation. We also dig into consolidation with eyes wide open: comparing contracts, unlocking economies of scale, and reinvesting savings into community access points like ambulatory surgery centers and subspecialty services where patients actually live.Looking 15–20 years ahead, Dr. Hogan argues the big will get bigger, but winners will collaborate, not copy-and-paste. Markets differ, payer mixes shift, and culture matters. The future favors systems that listen locally and act decisively—standardizing where it helps, flexing where it counts. If you care about orthopedic leadership, bundles, payer alignment, and how to grow without breaking what works, this conversation offers a grounded playbook.Enjoy the episode? Follow, share with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—what's one integration move your market needs next?

Technology is moving faster than ever — and your comfort zone might be your biggest liability. In this inspiring episode, Jim Stroud speaks with Allister Frost, former Microsoft marketing leader and author of Ready Already, about what it truly means to develop a future-ready mindset. Frost argues that “if it works today, it's already obsolete,” and challenges professionals to rethink the myths of stability, future-proofing, and the comfort zone. Together, they explore how to stay adaptable in the AI age, why curiosity is a superpower, and how “augmented intelligence” — not artificial intelligence — can elevate your work instead of replacing it. Why Leaders Should Listen: • Learn how to break free from the “if it ain't broke, don't fix it” mindset. • Discover the Ready Already Growth Cycle — a model for constant personal and organizational reinvention. • Understand why future-proofing is a myth — and how to become future-ready instead. • Hear how curiosity and naïve questioning fuel innovation across generations. Whether you lead teams, manage change, or simply want to stay relevant in a world of accelerating disruption, this conversation will help you rethink how you learn, adapt, and lead. Learn more:

Ann shares why inclusion and well-being aren't optional extras but the foundation of effective teams, and we get into how emotional resilience and strong communication can change the way leaders show up.What really stuck with me is Ann's view that great leaders are gardeners — cultivating growth, recognizing super strengths, and creating space for people to thrive.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Future-Ready Advisor, host Sam Sivarajan sits down with Gary Sinderbrand, a former top-producing advisor turned strategic coach who now helps advisory firms across North America navigate leadership transitions, client continuity, and succession planning challenges.Gary shares his decades of experience on both sides of the advisory business, exploring the looming advisor shortage crisis and what it really takes to build a future-ready practice. From understanding the "motivation gap" among next-generation advisors to redefining client relationships for better outcomes, this conversation is packed with actionable strategies for senior advisors, firms, and emerging talent alike.Whether you're grappling with succession planning, struggling to develop junior advisors, or looking to optimize your practice for long-term success, this episode delivers the insights you need to thrive in an era of increasing complexity.Key Quote"The essence of being a financial advisor is the ability to go create a relationship based on empathy and trust with a perfect stranger in a short period of time. That is a degree you can only get from the school of hard knocks." — Gary SinderbrandKey TakeawaysThe advisor shortage is real and urgent — McKinsey projects a shortfall of up to 100,000 financial advisors by 2034, but many senior advisors remain in denial about succession planning.The "motivation gap" is sabotaging succession — Junior advisors earning high salaries without building their own client relationships lack the resilience and skills needed to take over complex books of business.Client segmentation is critical for growth — Most advisory books follow the same pattern: 40-50 households drive 80% of productivity, while 75% of clients generate only 20% of revenue.Redefining relationships unlocks potential — By transitioning lower-tier clients to junior advisors under a fee-based model, senior advisors can focus on high-value work while developing next-generation talent.Opportunity costs are often invisible — Neglected clients don't just cost time and energy; they actively hurt referral potential and can damage your reputation in the community.Sound Bites"Most of the firms out there have lost focus as to how to really develop that next generation.""You don't know what it's costing you — the opportunity cost of not serving clients properly.""If you don't get it done or figure out a way to get it done, you're not going to be there. The failure rate is 80%.""Question your own conclusions. Even when you're absolutely certain you've got it all laid out, back away and rethink it.""Your job is to absorb the news that's out there, but understand what's not being written as well."Topics Discussed01:34 — Gary's Journey: From Top Producer to Strategic Coach05:29 — The McKinsey Report: Understanding the Advisor Shortage Crisis10:54 — The Motivation Gap: Why Traditional Succession Models Fail15:21 — Client Segmentation: The 80/20 Rule in Advisory Practices22:00 — Redefining Client Relationships for Succession Success27:42 — The Hidden Opportunity Costs of Neglected Client Relationships34:10 — Balancing Rising Client Expectations with Operational Reality38:01 — Building Reciprocal Referral Relationships That Actually Work44:04 — Rapid-Fire Round: Professional Lessons and Practical TipsResources...
Andrew Geddes – FMRC co-founder, long-time Chair of Greencross Ltd, and renowned industry mentor – joins Peter Towers to cut through the noise on where the profession really stands three years after Chris Jordan's Xerocon warning. We unpack why many firms remain “compliance factories,” and lay out a practical four-step pathway to advisory: ✅ Set clear revenue, profit, and weekly activity targets ✅ Lift margins with pricing, client mix (A/B/C/D), and sales focus ✅ Strengthen cash and controls (stock/WIP, billing, debtor management) ✅ De-risk and build value (leadership, succession, scalability) Real firm examples, candid insights on outsourcing/offshoring, and how to create fewer, deeper, higher-yield client relationships. If you're serious about moving to external CFO/Board of Advice work, this is your blueprint. You can also access our podcast on: Amazon Music Apple Podcasts Audible Spotify YouTube
