Olivier Sibony est professeur à HEC et spécialiste de la décision. Eric Hazan est investisseur et ancien senior partner chez McKinsey. Ils viennent de publier ensemble "Faut-il encore décider ?", un livre qui refuse d'être technophobe comme il refuse d'être technophile, et qui cartographie ce qu'on peut confier à une IA et ce qu'on doit garder pour soi.Je les connais tous les deux, mais séparément, et c'était la première fois que je les avais en face de moi ensemble. Ça se sent : ils se coupent la parole, se corrigent, se chambrent sur les anglicismes, et surtout ils ne sont pas toujours d'accord. C'est exactement ce que je cherchais.Ce qui m'a le plus remué dans cette conversation, c'est cette idée qu'on ne se fait pas déposséder de nos décisions : on les abandonne. Par confort. Parce qu'on est fabriqués pour économiser notre énergie, et qu'une réponse bien formulée par une machine nous suffit largement.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de l'effet de contentement, du risque de démission, de ce que devient la confiance en soi quand on fait relire chacun de ses mails, de la justice et du recrutement comme zones interdites, du deskilling, de la joie au travail, et de ce scénario de technocratie IA vers lequel on glisse sans l'avoir choisi.J'ai questionné Olivier et Eric sur ce que ça fait aux jobs, sur les valorisations d'OpenAI et d'Anthropic qui dépassent le PIB de la Pologne, et sur ce fameux moment où le médecin, l'ego coincé entre lui et la machine, fait moins bien que la machine seule.Une conversation dense, drôle par moments, et qui m'a laissé avec une question simple : sur quoi est-ce que je refuse de lâcher, moi, et pourquoi ?Citations marquantes« Le risque, c'est d'avoir toujours tendance à se défausser sur la machine, à lui demander une réponse et à finalement abdiquer toute responsabilité. Et ça, c'est un vrai danger. » (Olivier Sibony)« Les meilleurs médecins ont à peu près 74 % d'acuité, la machine 90 %. Mais quand tu mets les meilleurs médecins avec la machine, ils n'ont que 76 %. » (Eric Hazan)« Comment tu vas utiliser une IA comme partenaire de réflexion pour mieux réfléchir, et non pas comme une béquille sur laquelle tu vas te reposer pour ne pas réfléchir ? Toute la différence est là. » (Olivier Sibony)« L'IA est en train de devenir l'infrastructure du monde et notre infrastructure personnelle. On marche sur un petit tapis roulant, et on n'a aucun moyen de savoir comment il a été programmé. » (Eric Hazan)« Penser est un plaisir. Réfléchir n'est pas seulement instrumental : on le fera aussi pour le plaisir, comme on joue du piano. » (Olivier Sibony) Idées centrales discutées 1. L'IA générative pense comme notre système 1, et c'est exactement le piège (03:30 – 07:20)L'histoire de l'IA a commencé par une tentative de répliquer le système 2 : les règles, le calcul, les systèmes experts des années 70-80. Ça n'a jamais marché. L'IA générative, elle, imite le système 1 : rapide, fluide, spontanée, presque humaine. Pourquoi ça compte : quand ChatGPT nous dit de vérifier, il nous demande d'activer notre système 2. Or c'est fatigant. Alors on lit la réponse avec notre système 1, on la trouve plausible parce qu'elle est bien formulée, et on ne vérifie pas.2. L'effet de contentement et le risque de démission (08:00 – 09:40)Se satisfaire d'un résultat correct sans se demander s'il en existe un meilleur. Olivier l'appelle l'effet de contentement, Eric y ajoute le risque de démission : on abdique la responsabilité de la décision. Pourquoi ça compte : le problème n'est pas que la machine décide mal, c'est que personne ne décide plus vraiment. Et quand tu n'as pas réfléchi par toi-même, tu ne sais même pas ce que ta réponse aurait donné.3. Un LLM généraliste n'est jamais un bon outil de décision (14:40 – 16:00)Un outil d'aide à la décision, c'est un outil entraîné spécifiquement sur ta décision, avec tes objectifs, tes données, et testé sur un échantillon suffisant pour vérifier qu'il fait mieux que toi. Pourquoi ça compte : personne ne demanderait à ChatGPT le prix du siège d'un Paris–New York. Et pourtant on lui demande des décisions de recrutement, de couple, de carrière.4. Le paradoxe du médecin : l'ego entre la machine et le diagnostic (12:00 – 13:20)74 % d'acuité pour les meilleurs médecins, 90 % pour la machine, 76 % pour les deux ensemble. L'expérience du praticien s'intercale et dégrade le résultat. Pourquoi ça compte : ça retourne l'intuition dominante du "human in the loop". Sur certaines décisions, l'humain dans la boucle est le maillon qui abîme la performance. Le vrai gain, c'est de rendre au médecin le temps de l'empathie, pas de maximiser le nombre de patients.5. Performance x acceptabilité : la carte des décisions (24:00 – 26:15)Deux axes. Ce qui est performant et acceptable : trading haute fréquence, logistique, optimisation de données massives avec des règles claires. Ce qui est performant mais pas encore accepté : la voiture autonome, malgré plus de 40 000 morts par an au volant aux États-Unis. Ce qui reste inacceptable : la justice, l'évaluation des personnes. Pourquoi ça compte : un humain doit juger un autre humain en le regardant dans les yeux. La théâtralité du procès fait partie de la procédure démocratique, pas du folklore.6. Le deskilling n'est pas nouveau, la vraie question est de savoir ce qu'on refuse de perdre (26:15 – 30:00)On a cessé d'extraire des racines carrées à la main, on a gardé les tables de multiplication. Le GPS abîme peut-être l'hippocampe. Perdre une compétence libère du temps pour autre chose. Pourquoi ça compte : la bonne question n'est pas "est-ce que je perds des compétences", mais "quelles compétences, pour qui, sont assez importantes pour que je refuse de les perdre". Au cas par cas, personne par personne.7. Les jobs ne disparaissent pas d'un coup, l'économie est visqueuse (41:00 – 49:00)Le FMI évalue 22 à 25 % de la population active à risque d'automatisation quasi totale. Mais la transition industrielle prend une quinzaine d'années, et les entreprises ne font pas ce qui serait pourtant rentable. Deux consultants avec un demi-siècle de métier à eux deux l'ont vérifié mille fois. Pourquoi ça compte : les tâches disparaissent, les jobs se reconfigurent, d'autres apparaissent. Il y a plus de radiologues qu'avant. Il y a vingt ans, on ne pouvait pas imaginer le métier de podcaster.8. Il manque une infrastructure de la confiance (55:40 – 57:20)Quand tu achètes 400 grammes de carottes, tu ne demandes pas si la balance est truquée : quelqu'un l'a certifiée, et ce quelqu'un est certifié par l'État. Pour l'IA, cette chaîne n'existe pas. Pourquoi ça compte : aujourd'hui, un DRH sait que son outil de tri de CV est bon parce que la startup qui le lui a vendu le lui assure. C'est comme demander au boucher si la viande est bonne.Questions posées dans l'interviewPourquoi écrire ce livre à deux, et qu'est-ce que la décision et l'IA se disent l'une à l'autre quand on les croise ?C'est quoi le système 1 et le système 2, et pourquoi cette distinction éclaire-t-elle l'histoire entière de l'IA ?Qu'est-ce que l'effet de contentement, et comment savoir qu'on est en train d'y tomber ?Que se passe-t-il quand des millions de gens utilisent un LLM comme psy, sachant qu'il ne produit qu'une moyenne statistique de toutes les réponses possibles ?Est-ce que ça vous dérange que notre infrastructure cognitive quotidienne soit américaine, entraînée sur des valeurs qui ne sont pas les nôtres ?Quelles sont les décisions qu'on ne devrait jamais déléguer à une IA, et pourquoi la justice en fait partie ?Le deskilling : où est la limite entre une compétence qu'on peut abandonner et une compétence qui nous constitue ?Que fait l'IA à la confiance en soi de celui qui n'ose plus envoyer un mail sans le faire relire ?Comment repense-t-on la formation des juniors quand on automatise précisément les tâches qui servaient à les former ?Quels sont les jobs réellement à risque, et que valent les prédictions des entreprises qui ont besoin de justifier leur valorisation ?Quelles questions un dirigeant doit-il se poser avant de décider ce qu'il délègue à une IA ?Comment sait-on qu'on peut faire confiance à un système d'IA, et qui est censé le certifier ?Que penser d'un pays qui nomme une IA à la place d'un ministre, ou d'un patron qui remplace son management intermédiaire par des agents ?À quoi voulez-vous ouvrir, et à quoi voulez-vous claquer la porte ?Références citées dans l'épisodeLivres et auteurs"Faut-il encore décider ?", Olivier Sibony et Eric Hazan, le livre discuté (01:00)Daniel Kahneman, "Système 1 / Système 2" ("Thinking, Fast and Slow"), socle de toute la première partie (02:56, 03:35)Chercheurs et acteurs de l'IAYann LeCun, ex-responsable de l'IA chez Meta, sur les limites des Transformers et les World Models (37:40 – 40:40)Alex Lebrun et AMI Labs (Advanced Machine Intelligence Lab), société créée à Paris, valorisée environ 3,5 milliards de dollars pour environ 1 milliard levé (40:20 – 41:00)Fei-Fei Li, ex-Google, citée comme l'une des rares personnes travaillant sur les World Models (40:00)Mark Zuckerberg, annonce de son clone IA accessible à tous ses employés (59:40)Jack Dorsey, patron de Block (ex-Square), suppression annoncée du management intermédiaire, note "de la hiérarchie à l'intelligence" (60:00 – 60:40)Elon Musk, cité pour son scénario d'IA maximaliste (50:50)Études et institutionsÉtude Anthropic sur les utilisateurs qui perdent confiance dans leur propre système de valeurs (10:45)Étude Brookings sur l'automatisation qui supprime les barreaux de l'échelle de promotion interne, et sur les tâches automatisées qui faisaient partie de la joie au travail (30:50 – 33:00)FMI : 22 à 25 % de la population active à risque d'automatisation quasi totale (46:20)État du Maine et une douzaine d'autres États américains interdisant de nouveaux data centers (43:50)Professeurs d'université français se déclarant objecteurs de conscience face à l'IA générative (43:30)Outils et conceptsChatGPT, Claude, Gemini (09:40, 05:40)NotebookLM, cité comme piste de contrôle des sources (57:20)Friction fonctionnelle : une IA qui pose des questions au lieu de donner des réponses (52:00)Codécision, modèle central du livre (22:30, 54:30)Biais d'automatisation, effet de contentement, deskillingDestruction créatrice de Schumpeter (45:50)Personnalités mentionnées par GregEsther Perel, comme exemple de figure que les gens demandent aux LLM d'imiter sur les relations de couple (10:00)Timestamps clés 00:00 – Introduction Faut-il encore décider ? La question de l'épisode, posée d'entrée : où suis-je pertinent, où la machine l'est-elle davantage, et pourquoi déléguons-nous plus que nous ne devrions.01:50 – Deux auteurs, deux expertises Pourquoi écrire ce livre à deux : Olivier a passé sa vie sur la décision, Eric sur l'IA. Un livre qui refuse à la fois la technophobie et la technophilie.03:30 – Système 1, système 2, et l'histoire de l'IA L'IA des années 70-80 voulait copier notre pensée formelle et a échoué. L'IA générative imite notre pensée intuitive, et c'est pour ça qu'elle nous paraît presque magique.06:10 – Pourquoi on ne vérifie jamais Le système 1 est toujours actif. Vérifier demande un effort. Comme la machine s'exprime bien, on trouve sa réponse plausible et on s'arrête là.08:00 – L'effet de contentement Se satisfaire d'un résultat correct sans se demander s'il en existe un meilleur. Le moment où on cesse d'être exigeant.09:00 – Le risque de démission Déléguer les décisions qu'on ne devrait pas déléguer, par paresse. Et l'usage de l'IA générative comme psy, qui n'est qu'une moyenne statistique de toutes les réponses possibles.11:00 – Le biais d'automatisation Plus la machine est sophistiquée, plus on lui fait confiance. Y compris dans des contextes de guerre où elle indique où tirer.12:00 – Le chiffre qui dérange 74 % pour les meilleurs médecins, 90 % pour la machine, 76 % pour les deux ensemble. L'ego du praticien s'intercale et dégrade le diagnostic.14:00 – Un compagnon électronique, est-ce grave ? Distinguer la conversation qui tient compagnie de la décision. Olivier assume : il n'a pas de problème avec la première.14:40 – Vos objectifs, pas ceux de la machine Pourquoi un LLM généraliste n'est jamais un bon outil de décision, et ce qu'est un vrai outil d'aide à la décision.16:00 – Le tapis roulant L'IA devient l'infrastructure du monde et notre infrastructure personnelle, programmée par d'autres, pour leurs objectifs. Et l'anecdote des dash que l'IA refuse d'abandonner.19:00 – Le vrai sujet, ce sont les finalités Plutôt que traquer les biais de la machine américaine, définir les objectifs qu'on veut poursuivre. Exemple concret sur le recrutement : le mauvais prompt et le bon.22:30 – Déléguer, codécider, refuser Les trois régimes. Quand un radiologue confie ses radios à l'IA pour passer plus de temps avec son patient, ce n'est pas du temps perdu.24:00 – La carte : performance et acceptabilité Trading et logistique d'un côté, voiture autonome dans la zone grise, justice de l'autre. Un humain doit juger un autre humain.26:15 – Le deskilling Les tables de multiplication, la racine carrée à la main, le GPS et l'hippocampe. Chaque compétence perdue libère du temps, mais lesquelles refuse-t-on de perdre ?28:50 – Penser est un plaisir On peut obtenir un morceau infiniment meilleur en appuyant sur un bouton, et pourtant des gens jouent encore du piano. L'activité mentale comme fin en soi.29:50 – L'ennui des enfants Un passage indispensable à la construction cognitive, devenu rare. Et la réponse d'Olivier, qui déplace le problème vers les parents.30:30 – Les juniors, la formation, la joie au travail L'automatisation retire des barreaux à l'échelle de la promotion interne. Et elle automatise parfois précisément ce qui donnait de la joie au travail.33:50 – La perte de confiance en soi Celui qui n'ose plus envoyer un mail en anglais sans le faire relire. Est-ce l'IA qui abîme la confiance, ou est-ce qu'elle montre où était la barre ?36:50 – Une IA qui penserait comme un système 2 ? Le Graal technique : garder la richesse et la vitesse, sans les erreurs de raisonnement.37:40 – Yann LeCun et les World Models Pourquoi il n'y a pas de voitures autonomes à Paris, pourquoi une IA ne sait pas prévoir la chute d'un verre, et ce que changeraient des modèles qui comprennent le monde en 3D.41:00 – Les jobs : ce que dit le hype et ce que dit la réalité Les valorisations d'OpenAI et d'Anthropic dépassent le PIB de la Pologne. Il faut bien justifier ça par une révolution radicale et rapide.43:20 – Le backlash a déjà commencé Professeurs objecteurs de conscience, États américains qui interdisent les data centers. Extrapoler une tendance sans anticiper les réactions est l'erreur de prévision la plus courante.45:00 – Tâches, jobs, et manque d'imagination Il y a plus de radiologues qu'avant. Et il y a vingt ans, personne ne pouvait imaginer le métier de podcaster.46:20 – Les chiffres et la viscosité de l'économie 22 à 25 % de la population active à risque selon le FMI, mais une transition sur une quinzaine d'années. Ce qui est rentable n'est pas fait pour autant.48:40 – Un plan Marshall de la formation La seule chose vraiment utile à faire, et pourquoi il ne faut pas mettre de bâtons dans les roues de la transition.50:40 – Le scénario technocratie IA Un monde où quelques acteurs technologiques maîtrisent notre destin. On y va, non par bêtise, mais parce qu'on ne se pose pas les questions.53:40 – Les bonnes questions pour un dirigeant Ai-je assez de données ? Mes objectifs sont-ils clairs ? Et surtout : comment je sais que je peux lui faire confiance ?55:40 – Le test du boucher Un DRH qui sait que son outil de tri est bon parce que le vendeur le lui affirme. Là où on recevait 1 000 CV, on en reçoit 10 000.57:00 – L'infrastructure de la confiance 400 grammes de carottes, une balance certifiée, un service de l'État. Ce qui existe pour l'épicier n'existe pas encore pour l'IA.58:00 – Une IA ministre, un clone de Zuckerberg La croyance sous-jacente : le management ne serait qu'un tuyau de transmission d'informations. Il suffit d'avoir travaillé un peu en entreprise pour voir le problème.61:40 – Ouvrir la porte, claquer la porte Ce à quoi les deux invités veulent ouvrir, et ce qu'ils refusent : le catastrophisme technophobe qui suppose, sans jamais le dire, que l'humain est parfait.

The most important EdTech skill might not be knowing which tool to use. It might be knowing when technology can actually help.New apps, platforms, and AI tools will always compete for your attention. Trying to keep up with all of them isn't realistic—and it isn't necessary. What educators need is a way to recognize opportunities, think critically about technology, and decide whether a tool will actually make learning or work better.That's the idea behind the Anytime EdTech Mindset.In Episode 270, Chris Nesi introduces a practical framework built around seven ideas: Ask, Notice, Your Learners First, Try, Iterate, Make Meaning, and Evolve.This isn't about using more technology. It's about using technology with purpose.Whether you're facing a classroom challenge, looking to improve a workflow, considering a new AI tool, or simply wondering if there's a better way to do something, this episode gives you a framework you can return to anytime.Because you don't need to know every tool.You need a better way to think when a new tool, challenge, or opportunity comes your way.You'll LearnHow to stop chasing every new EdTech tool and focus on real problems instead.Why anytime does not mean all the time when it comes to technology.How to identify what you're actually trying to accomplish before searching for a tool.Why observation matters before trying to solve a classroom or workflow problem.How to put learners—not features or trends—at the center of technology decisions.Why starting small can make trying new technology less intimidating.How to learn from imperfect first attempts instead of abandoning an idea too quickly.How to determine whether technology actually improved learning or simply added technology.When to keep, change, or abandon a tool or approach.How the ANYTIME framework can help you approach future EdTech challenges with confidence.EdTech RecommendationTeacher Hive — teacherhive.appBring the app you've built with AI.

NVIDIA closes its $12.93 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, Anthropic signs its third $30 billion-plus compute deal in three weeks, and Signal65 launches its new PINNACLE agentic AI benchmark just in time to catch Claude Fable 5.1 topping the charts, all while Dell, HPE, Broadcom, and Snowflake post a blowout week of AI-driven earnings. Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman have all the details on Ep. 318 of The Six Five Pod. The handpicked topics for this week are: NVIDIA's $12.93 Billion Acquisition of Hugging Face: NVIDIA closed its purchase of Hugging Face this week after days of rumors, structured as a full acquisition rather than a licensing deal like NVIDIA's earlier Grok arrangement. Moorhead frames the deal as NVIDIA's bid to own the entire developer pipeline, with GitHub as the first stop and Hugging Face as the second, and the platform's Spaces service giving NVIDIA a way to run workloads once developers arrive. (The Decode) Anthropic's $35 Billion Compute Deal With Lambda: Anthropic signed its third $30 billion-plus compute commitment in three weeks, this time with NVIDIA-backed Lambda managing infrastructure inside a data center owned by crypto infrastructure company Hut 8. The deal covers 350 megawatts over six years, and Newman ties it directly to Anthropic's revenue run rate climbing from about $10 billion to $65 billion since the start of 2025. (The Decode) A 72-Hour Wave of Frontier Model Launches: Claude Fable 5.1, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, Google's Gemini 3.8 Flash, Meta's Muse Spark, and six new models from the UAE's MBZUAI all shipped within days of each other. Moorhead and Newman frame the pace as evidence that model rankings now shift day to day, a much faster cycle than the weeks-long stretches leaderboards used to hold. (The Decode) John Ternus Takes Over as Apple CEO: Moorhead calls it a continuity pick that promotes the engineer who built Apple's hardware moat. Newman notes Tim Cook's buyback record, $867 billion in total repurchases, exceeded the combined total of the rest of the Magnificent Seven during his tenure. (The Decode) Signal65 Launches the PINNACLE Agentic AI Benchmark: Signal65 President Ryan Shrout joined Pat and Dan to detail PINNACLE, a new benchmark built to measure real, enterprise-relevant agentic work across model intelligence, infrastructure performance, and full-stack cost per correct task. Shrout says the benchmark already caught Fable 5.1 jumping ahead of Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on intelligence within days of the model's release. That same result also came in as the most expensive model per correct answer. (Off The Record) Dell Technologies (DELL): Dell delivered $47 billion in revenue, up 58%, with $16.4 billion in AI servers and a $95 billion AI backlog. Newman calls out strong storage and CPU server performance, along with the backlog. He flags financing risk tied to Dell's Neo Cloud customers as the one weak spot in an otherwise dominant quarter. (Bulls and Bears) Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE): HPE beat on revenue and non-GAAP EPS with a double beat on guidance, and Moorhead points to networking orders compounding faster than revenue can be recognized as the standout signal. The stock sold off anyway on questions about margin mix and supply. CEO Antonio Neri's focus on selective, less price-sensitive deals is already showing up in a repaired balance sheet. (Bulls and Bears) Broadcom (AVGO): Broadcom tripled its AI business to $16.7 billion, up 221%, and raised its fiscal 2028 AI revenue outlook to $230 billion. Newman says the market wanted the number closer to $300 billion and sold off on the guide. Broadcom still posted record $29.6 billion total revenue and continued strength across networking and storage controllers. (Bulls and Bears) Snowflake (SNOW): Snowflake beat on revenue, non-GAAP EPS, and forward guidance, with AI products across Cortex and its new coding agent driving roughly half the beat. Sell-side price targets moved sharply higher across more than a dozen firms, and Newman ties the 111 percent stock gain since the software sell-off to the same pattern he's tracked through the DeepSeek moment and the "software is dead" narrative: markets consistently overreact to those stories before reversing.

In this episode, Alex and Stephanie dive into the common challenges businesses face when trying to reach new leads. From navigating phone call screening technology to cutting down overly long outreach messages, they share practical advice and real data on how concise communication dramatically improves conversion and response rates. Key Topics Call Screening Challenges: Understanding why consumers use call screening tools and how brokers/businesses can navigate them effectively. Short vs. Long WhatsApp Messages: Why sending long-winded initial messages lowers response rates, and how simple call-to-action prompts (like asking for a thumbs-up emoji) boost engagement. The "Word Jenga" Technique: How to strip away unnecessary "fluff" and keep messages punchy without losing the core meaning, inspired by the principles in Writing for Busy Readers. Email Click-Through & Survey Data: Real-world stats showing how reducing word count in newsletters and surveys can double or triple click-through and completion rates. Leveraging AI for Concise Writing: Using custom AI prompts and tools (like Gemini gems) to perform "Word Jenga" on draft communications. Timestamps [00:00:00] - Introduction and discussion on call screening technology. [00:02:00] - Discussing lead response rates and the problem with lengthy WhatsApp messages. [00:03:00] - Example of an overly complex message vs. a simple prompt; introducing "Word Jenga". [00:06:00] - Comparison of long vs. short emails and industry click-through benchmarks. [00:09:00] - Data on email length, word count, and survey completion rates. [00:12:00] - Using AI tools and pre-loaded prompts to streamline outreach. [00:14:00] - Final takeaways on concise communication and closing thoughts. Key Takeaways Less is More: People scan text rather than reading word-for-word. Shorter messages reduce cognitive effort and increase response rates. Make Replying Frictionless: Asking a quick, direct question (e.g., "Are you free for a call now?") allows leads to reply with a simple thumbs-up emoji rather than typing out an essay. State Your Identity Clearly: When facing call screening, state clearly who you are and where you're calling from so users know it's not spam. Practice Word Jenga: Regularly review your template emails and text outreach to remove fluff. Leverage tools like ChatGPT or Gemini to auto-edit for brevity.

Jon Mest is a data scientist turned entrepreneur, CEO of both ChatRank and Just Reach Out, and a builder focused on helping companies get discovered in an AI-first world. After early roles in Wall Street and data analytics, Jon learned how enterprises buy, how to turn customer problems into products, and why bootstrapping can create more ownership and long-term flexibility. Today, he helps brands improve their visibility across AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI while earning the third-party credibility that drives both rankings and revenue. On this episode we talk about: How Jon went from umpiring youth baseball games to Wall Street, enterprise data, sales, and entrepreneurship The sales lessons hidden inside customer data—and why the best product does not always win the deal Why Jon prefers bootstrapping businesses instead of relying on venture capital How ChatRank helps businesses understand and improve their visibility in AI-driven search results Why AI referrals can convert at a higher rate than traditional website traffic The growing connection between digital PR, external brand mentions, trust, and AI search visibility How businesses can become clearer and more authentic rather than trying to “hack” AI platforms Top 3 Takeaways Solve the customer's real problem—not the problem you assume they have. Even a product that can save a company millions will not sell if it creates political risk, conflicts with company culture, or fails to make the buyer look good internally. Bootstrapping creates pressure to build a sustainable business from day one. When revenue, customer retention, and product quality directly determine whether the company survives, founders often develop sharper sales discipline and retain more ownership at exit. AI search rewards clarity, proof, and brand credibility. Rather than hunting for temporary loopholes, businesses should clearly communicate what they do best, publish useful supporting content, and earn credible third-party mentions that validate their positioning. Notable Quotes “Are you solving a real pain of theirs? Are you giving them something they don't have that they actually need?” “When you're selling something, you have to be realistic and thoughtful about what is the other person on the other side of the room thinking in that moment and how are you going to make their life better.” “You can't cheat the system here… What you can do is be really intentional about your brand.” Connect with Jon Mest: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jonathanmest ChatRank: chatrank.ai Just Reach Out: justreachout.io A Word from Our Sponsors: - The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

The Moon anchors a prominent triangle in tomorrow’s early-morning sky. The pattern is well up in the east at first light. The stars Pollux and Castor – the twins of Gemini – line up to the upper left of the Moon, with Mars to the upper right. The brilliant planet Jupiter stands well below the triangle. Mars and Pollux are almost exactly the same brightness right now. And they’re the same color: orange. But they achieve that color in different ways. Mars is a planet – a ball of rock and metal that’s smaller than Earth. Its color comes from iron oxide – particles of rust – in the rocks and dust that cover most of its surface. The rust probably formed when iron-rich rocks interacted with liquid water on the surface. But there’s no water on the surface today. So the rocks must have rusted billions of years ago, when Mars was much warmer and wetter than it is today. As the rocks eroded, the Martian winds carried the dust around the globe – enhancing the color of the Red Planet. Pollux, on the other hand, is a star. It completed the prime phase of life, then puffed up to giant proportions – about nine times wider than the Sun. As it expanded, it got cooler. And a star’s color is determined by its surface temperature; cool stars look red or orange. So just by looking at it, we can tell that Pollux is thousands of degrees cooler than the Sun. We’ll talk about the Moon and Jupiter tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Dearest Listeners,Post Lunar Eclipse in Pisces CommentsThis episode has really taken awhile to present itself.  I recorded it three days after the actual eclipse occurred.  What happened?  For a short time all of my files disappeared.  In a Neptunian fashion, coupled with Uranus in Gemini affecting my ability to communicate through technology, I was in deep water, and my ship was not moving.In this episode, I talk about what needs to be released, and I see that it's not only my physical environment, but how my computer has to be considered in terms of things that I emotionally have an attachment to, that holds my life in the past, in one way or another. This recent Lunar Eclipse served as a powerful reminder of how we can be bound by the past.Pisces is one of the three water elemental signs.  It is the final sign of the zodiac, and is a repository of our life and soul journeys.  It is associated with the 12 house, and is under guidance of the contemporary rulership with Neptune, and ancient rulership of Jupiter.Interestingly enough, I felt and still feel a strong pull toward the energetic direction of this Lunar Eclipse.  Personally, it occurred in my 10th house, and was placed directly on top of my natal Mars, which means a conjunction.  As I glance in the "rearview mirror of my life"  I'm reflecting on what kind of current and  past undertow needs to be recognized.  Using the symbology of water( literally bodies of water), it represents where experiences are collected.  Pisces as a water sign represents the emotional, intuitive, liminal, and often those experiences that hover at the edges of consciousness.  Sometimes we can get a glimpse of what is hidden in our sub/unconscious through dreams, or of a fleeting remembrance of feelings surfacing to awareness.On August 27-28, the Full Moon in Pisces and Lunar Eclipse presented us  with the  ability to look deeper at what is, and the opportunity to experience the illumination of what was started in the dark of the new Moon. The energetic attunement of the Moon actually started at the Solar Eclipse. Do consider this  as a fabulous opportunity, to call on your own inner Muse for some deep insight and life guidance. Maybe you might just find what you've been seeking.Symbolically and literally, this Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse offered and continues to offer  a chance to peer into our own psyches with discernment about  the inner nature of one's personal past, and perhaps gain some understanding of future possibilities for yourself. The Lunar Eclipse continues to move like an energetic time continuum. It is a portal between our conscious outer self, while the Moon gives a light beam and illumination into the collective unconscious realm.We're each being invited to look, and step into the unconscious as the Moon Goddess, Herself becomes our Guide, Protector  and Illuminator. By definition, the Moon symbolizes the aspect within us that nurtures the essence of our soul being.If you are a person who has natal Moon in Pisces, you are already somewhat familiar with intuitive, empathetic  feelings, intense dream states, creative-artistic insights, spiritual and sacred revelation. In addition, you probably live with puzzling experiences of psychic pain and sometimes disturbing hidden forgotten memories that are submerged just below conscious awareness. With this recent  Full Moon and Eclipse, if you choose to journey deeper into the unconscious realm, there is the potential for some major life healing and change.  The combined power of these cosmic events  have provided an opportunity to see how current life experiences, past actions, re-occurring questions, patterns, challenges, and problematic situations are rooted in the multi-layered unconscious of unhealed parts of self.  Where in your astrology chart, “Life Map”,  did the Moon and Eclipse happen? By finding your Moon/Eclipse position you may be able to gain deeper clarity and increased self awareness and understanding.  There won't be another Lunar Eclipse in Pisces until,  the year 2043.It is also extremely important to note that if an individual has been willing to trust the inner wisdom of the Moon, and venture on this journey, there are gifts to be had that are associated with the Pisces sign, 12th house and Neptune.  There are hidden treasures that come out of the willingness to recognize what needs to be healed both for self, and in turn will serve as  healing space for others.Pisces is the sign that represents collective awareness and understanding, that all beliefs of separation at the Soul Core level are an illusion.  The Moon represents the part of self that connects with the night, the unconscious, the inner realm of intuition, instinctual patterns as the Divine Soul connector . Since this was a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, it is important to acknowledge those ancient, hidden aspects, parts and patterns that have circled the edges of your awareness/consciousness for a long time. When we look closely, we will see life issues, experiences, challenges, or problems that have been experienced before, but have probably been pushed aside. In psychological discussions those negative but potent disembodied aspects of self are termed the “Shadow”. In descriptions from astrological writings  the hidden but active unconscious parts, which often, can and do sabotage a person's life, are called the “hidden enemies”.   The 12th house is often referred to as the house of “undoing”, things we refuse to acknowledge which keep us mired in “problems, situations and just plain misery”.If you only used your astrological chart to gain some awareness of yourself by way of this Full Moon and  Lunar Eclipse, you would be doing yourself an immense favor. Just by developing some understanding of the unique features of your soul life stories, you could live with more ease and self assurance.The water element of  this Full Moon in Pisces with the grounding influence from the Sun in Virgo Earth element,  actually has given a means for understanding, and calling forth the Moon's ability to penetrate the inner cloud cover that veils the  unconscious realm. The collective unconscious holds the secrets and  reasons for each person's being an embodied Soul at this time.Self healing and inner wisdom are two essential attributes that we all possess, but rarely use.  This is our golden opportunity. This Lunar Eclipse provides a good six to nine month window with the Eclipse energy opening a door to your Unconscious.Here are a few suggestions of the many and various ways for tapping this Lunar Eclipse:Spiritual Practice with meditation, prayer, ritual, vision quest, yoga chanting, sound and energy alignment, shamanic trance, spirit and angel guidance.Metaphysical  study,  astrology, oracle, tarot, numerology, runes, soul purpose readings, pendulum  and crystal readings to connect with hidden patterns.Psychological modalities, guided imagery, dreamwork, reiki, holotropic breath, psychodrama, psychotherapy.Counseling and support groups techniques for addictions and dysfunctional family patterns across individual, multi and cross generational conflicts.Artistic- Creative bringing the archetypal and mythological motifs to awareness through intuitive and process painting, art journaling, drumming, poetry, collage making, music, trance dance, and anything that can be imagined.Here's Wishing You A Deep and Insightful Journey. Let's have an Astrology Conversation.  I look forward to seeing you.  Now is the time.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.htmlhttps://www.soulsoundinsights.com/music-musings-meditation.htmlI am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach.  As a Creative Depth Coach, I provide guidance, support and soul insights on how to discover, explore and navigate your life by  recognizing your magnificent "Creative Genius".

Across the world, hundreds of people have come to believe they have made extraordinary scientific discoveries with AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Others say their AI has ‘awakened', or is leading them to a higher spiritual realm. The Guardian journalist Michael Safi investigates a phenomenon labelled ‘AI psychosis', travelling to the US to meet two people who have been on weird journeys with their chatbots.

There's a free tool sitting right in front of every real estate agent that decides whether they get found online — and almost nobody is using it well. In this episode, Neil sits down with Bobby the Google Guy, a certified Google Business Profile expert who works exclusively with real estate agents. Bobby's message is a reversal of what most agents believe: AI didn't make your Google Business Profile less important — it made it the front door. ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI models now decide which agents to recommend by reading trust signals from Google, Yelp, Bing Places, and the Better Business Bureau. And they only surface one, two, or three agents. If you're not one of them, you're invisible. The good news: it's free, and the competition is asleep. Bobby breaks down the exact, repeatable work that gets you found — keyword-rich reviews earned consistently, hyperlocal content that marks you as a community expert, and treating your profile as a living platform instead of "set it and forget it." He even shares how a brand-new agent outranked a 25-year veteran by doing this well. Bobby also built a free resource for Agent Rise listeners: the GBP & A.I. Visibility Checklist — 40 points that decide whether Google and the AI engines recommend you. Text GOOGLE to 833-500-1135 to get it sent to your phone.

On this week's show Ara gives his impression of the new gear installed into his new home. We talk Internet, Home Networking, Automation, and Home Theater in an action packed show. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Apple TV Hikes Prices SVS Releases SoundPath Multi-Band Wireless Audio Adapter Roku ups premium hardware with launch of its first OLED TVs Sonos Welcomes Beam Ultra and Sonos Ace Ultra to its System Ara's New Setup First Impressions Starlink Performance - We had no issues while we were in TN. The entire week no said anything about slow speeds and our streaming was no different than when we are in CA. I tested speeds from time to time and results varied but the slowest speed (22 Mbps) never impacted TV viewing.  Ubiquity Network Management - this is a different world! I am still exploring all the things you can do. But the system is setup like a business. You have a network and wireless access points. I have four. One on Channel 11, two on 6, and one on 1. It was setip so the channels are far apart and don't overlap.  MyQ & Honeywell (matter compatible) thermostats go offline from time to time. I restart the wifi access point and they come back.  Third Reality Garage Door Opener - 2.4 GHz, Scene Management Mantel Mount MM815 Motorized Drop Down & Swivel TV Mount - $700 The MM815 is a remote-controlled drop-and-swivel TV mount. Press one button to lower the TV to eye level and rotate it as needed. It comes with an RF remote, is silent, and has two memory presets. Sony BRAVIA 7 II PRO True RGB 4K HDR Google TV with Gemini (Model Number K75XR70PRO)-  $2300 The Sony BRAVIA 7 II PRO is Sony's 2026 mid-range True RGB Mini-LED TV (65 inches and up) with independently driven red, green, and blue backlight LEDs, XR processing, and about 2,000 nits of peak brightness for stronger color volume and contrast than a typical white Mini-LED. It is 4K at 120 Hz, supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and has HDMI 2.1 gaming features (VRR, ALLM, 4K/120). Google TV includes Gemini for voice search and recommendations, plus AirPlay 2. The Pro bundle adds a three-year replacement warranty, a backlit rechargeable remote, extra Sony Pictures Core credits, and an enhanced Voice Zoom 3 dialogue mode; picture hardware is the same as the standard 7 II. Sonos Arc Ultra - $1099 The Sonos Arc Ultra supports Dolby Atmos that has a 9.1.4 driver layout and Sound Motion woofer to produce wide, height-enhanced surround and stronger bass from a single bar. It connects to a TV with one HDMI eARC cable, supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and the rest of the Sonos ecosystem (including optional Sub and rear speakers), and can be controlled with the TV remote, Sonos app, touch controls, Sonos Voice Control, or Alexa. Trueplay tunes the sound to the room, and AI speech enhancement is meant to keep dialogue clear. It is a long, low-profile bar (about 46 inches wide) sold in black or white. Sonos Sub 4 - $899 The Sonos Sub 4 is a wireless subwoofer for Sonos S2 systems, pairing with current soundbars and speakers to add bass down to about 25 Hz. Two inward-facing 5-by-8-inch woofers and dual Class-D amps use a force-canceling layout so the cabinet stays relatively still and the bass stays clean. It has the same slot-style shape as earlier Subs, in black or white matte, and can stand upright or lie on its side. Updates over the Sub 3 include Wi-Fi 6, a faster processor, more memory, lower idle power, and a slightly lighter cabinet; setup is through the Sonos app, with optional Ethernet. Two Sub 4s can be used with the Arc Ultra. Audio Advice - I'll be in Franklin in October for a SVS/Audio Advice Event. Details to come

Parry Headrick, Founder of Crackle PR, is helping B2B technology companies offer LLM-digestible messages through earned media, human-centered writing, and strategic communication. Driven by the belief that where people start does not determine where they finish, Parry has built an empathetic, senior-led agency that works exclusively with good companies and empowers its people to share their expertise openly.  In this conversation, Parry introduces The LinkedIn Cheat-code Framework: Post every day, Tap into news stories, Weave in audience impact, and No-CTA. He explains how consistently sharing valuable ideas and expecting nothing in return helped him build an audience, generate most of his leads through LinkedIn, and shorten the sales cycle from three months to one week. Parry also discusses how LinkedIn thought leadership creates a virtuous cycle of earned media and LLM citations, why websites and PR content must be readable by both humans and machines, and how a senior-led agency can scale without sacrificing quality. He also shares why human writers will become more valuable as AI-generated content creates a growing sea of sameness. — Offer LLM-Digestible Messages with Parry Headrick  Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Parry Headrick, the Founder of Crackle PR, a B2B tech public relations agency that works with good companies only. Crackle PR is a senior-led B2B tech PR agency built for the LLM era, where earned media is no longer just a brand builder, it is the vital infrastructure that feeds foundation models. Parry, welcome to the show.  It’s a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.  Well, it’s great to have you, and you are all about LLMs and how to get through the AI filters, which is relevant for all of us. But before we jump in, I’d like to ask you my $64,000 question. What is your personal Why, and how are you manifesting it in Crackle PR?  Yeah, that’s a good question. And I haven’t really been asked that question in that way before, but if I had to nail the answer, it would be this. So I started out with humble beginnings. My family didn’t have any money really to speak of. We wore secondhand clothes. It was the typical scratching and clawing our way up story. And I had a difficult childhood with divorces and everything, and I ended up getting kicked out of high school. Seventh grade was the last grade I actually completed. I was kicked out of two different schools three different times.  And the last time I was dismissed, I was told by the principal that I would have a long life working at McDonald’s. It was a real dagger that he put in my heart as he showed me the door. And I just thought at that point that didn’t seem like something that someone in power should say to someone who had none. And that kind of informed everything that I’ve done since, including being a reporter where I covered stories trying to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, all the way into how I’ve tried to create an agency that is predicated on doing it with empathy.  And we have an ironclad no-assh*les policy. I hope you don’t mind the swear there. That means internally and externally. We won’t work for jerks, and we won’t tolerate brilliant jerks that work with us because that tends to be very cancerous for an organization. So that’s the Why, is where you start doesn't really dictate where you finish, and I'm determined to prove that that's the case.Share on X  Yeah. I love it. And that’s one of the benefits of being in business for yourself. You can select your own clients. You don’t have to accept the ones that you don’t like. But few people actually put a stake in the ground and actually declare it, right? It’s harder to do it than to just make some compromises.  Yeah.  So tell me about Crackle PR. I really like the name of Crackle PR. I kind of sense what it might mean, but why don’t you explain how you came up with this?  Well, good question. I like these layups you’re giving me here. So I started Crackle during the pandemic, actually, when most of us were staring at the walls of our home thinking, “What the heck is going on?” There were riots in the streets. People couldn’t go anywhere, and it was really this sort of just dark malaise that covered the world. And it was that time that I thought, “What if I were to start a PR agency that is the antithesis of the large ones that I had built?”  So prior to Crackle, I had built a couple of the largest privately held tech PR agencies in North America. The models at these large agencies, as you probably know, are very hierarchical, where you trot out the Parrys of the world and the VPs, and then the model demands that you have most of the work done by juniors because that’s how you make the money. And I thought, what if we just, instead of trying to get big at all costs, what if we instead had a very prescriptive model where, instead of paying for offices in Manhattan and San Francisco, what if we just put that money into our talent and had a senior team that did the work, and we didn’t have a whole bunch of overhead? Wouldn’t that be cool?  And what if we also, as I just mentioned, don’t work with any jerks, and we work just with companies that are good people doing good stuff? And that was the true north for the company to start. And so we’ve been very fortunate in the intervening years. We now have 15 full-time employees, another five consultants. We’re hiring prescriptively and slowly. We don’t want to grow for the sake of growth. And we have clients all the way from seed rounds of funding to publicly traded companies. We really run the gamut. It's a B2B tech PR shop primarily.Share on X  But I always thought that the bad people need more PR than the good people.  Well, they may, but we’re not here to put lipstick on pigs. I had somebody that told me in my life one time that you don’t get into the mud with the pigs because the pig will love it, but you’ll both get dirty. And that’s not a game I’m looking to play. So I didn’t actually answer the question about Crackle itself. So the idea was that during that dark, dark time—COVID, riots, craziness everywhere. We wanted to represent a bit of goodness in the world. So I just pictured the world being this heap of ashesShare on X and under those ashes was a little spark, a little crackle of life, a little ember of goodness that was going to come out of all this. And that was really the impetus for the name, and it’s really guided the true north of the company.  Love it. That’s really fun. And your hat looks good, too.  You see the little spark, the little crackle right there?  I see it. Yeah. It’s like a Christmas cracker. So, okay, this podcast is called Management Blueprint because we are looking for, or I’m looking for, frameworks that people came up with, that they stumbled upon, which other listeners might apply to their business. So what’s a framework that you could share with us which can be explained in three to five steps that helps you get an insight or communicate better or organize better, something that helps you be more effective?  Yeah. So this may not be a big surprise. Some of your listeners may follow me on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is my cheat code. When I first started this business, I went to LinkedIn with my full self.Share on X Determined to tell everyone the good, the bad, the ugly about the industry that I’m in, which is public relations. And a surprising thing happened. At the time, there weren’t a lot of people kind of being truth tellers in their respective industries. But I stuck to that same framework, speaking truth to power, which goes back to my Why.  An interesting thing happened, which is I tended to get a bunch of followers really quickly, and they would DM me saying, “Finally, someone’s just saying it like it really is in the industry. Finally, someone is lifting back the curtain. Finally, finally, finally.” And so I just doubled down on that approach. And so fast-forward to today, I have 82,000 followers on LinkedIn. The majority of my business comes in through DMs on LinkedIn from them having read my posts, my thoughts.  And by the time they actually come to me, they already have a good sense for my ethos, how I think, how I operate, that I work with good companies only. They know me. So the vetting process is 75% of the way done by the time they ever reach out. So that’s the cheat code. I’ve shortened the sales cycle from my old world being three months down to a week. If we have a phone call, we put together a quick proposal, and then it’s done because they are already looking to hire me when they reach out. So that’s the framework, that’s the cheat code, that’s the hack, and it’s applicable to just about any industry.  Okay. So I love it. So let’s break it down. So how do you create this effect where people pick up the phone or DM you and within a week sign you up? What is the process?  Yeah. So the process is just I post literally every day of my life. Maybe weekends I’ll take a break, it depends. But every work weekday I am posting. It is not a nice-to-have, it is a mission-critical function of Crackle PR. I would say up until recently, about 90% of my leads came in through my commentary and writing and posting on LinkedIn.  And it's really me just sharing everything that I know, including commenting on the news of the day tapping into the zeitgeist about issues that are happening from a public relations standpoint, and sharing real-time thought leadership across my…Share on X And so it’s not a simple process of, like, I do A and then B. It’s really more like, what’s happening today? What’s a story that I should tell and comment on today? And then how is that going to positively impact my key audiences?  I’m always doing it with the intent to simply share value and expect nothing in return. I almost never ask for anything. Occasionally I’ll say, “Hey, does anybody know a good account manager?” But I’m not out there selling my wares on LinkedIn. I’m very simply ungating my brain and letting everyone have access to it, and the right people find me at the right time.  Love it. Love it. So the four steps I heard were: post every day, tap into the zeitgeist or the story of the day, how to impact your key audience, so essentially the story and how can you turn it into something that helps people, and no CTA at the end.  That’s right.  Yeah. Love it. That’s a great framework.  Yeah. It’s great. And you know what’s interesting is that it’s multifaceted in the sense I’ve told you already that the majority of my business comes from LinkedIn, okay? Because I share what I know. It’s thought leadership in real time, and it’s a captive audience. The byproduct of that is interesting, which is that I am constantly written about in the news by, like, The Guardian, the Wall Street Journal, you name the publication. Because they’re finding me on that platform and reading what I have to say and reaching out for comment to expand on those ideas.  So it's got this virtuous cycle where, as a PR guy myself, it's interesting that I'm putting thoughts out into the world and I'm attracting earned mediaShare on X which is the coveted thing that all of the LLMs I talk about rest on, because 82% or something of citations across LLMs come from earned media. So it’s a really virtuous cycle that I’ve stumbled upon and that I’m trying to refine and hone over time.  So basically, you’re drinking your own Kool-Aid. Yeah. Sometimes I wonder, a lot of marketing agencies, they sell marketing, but they are not able to market themselves well.  “The cobbler’s children have no shoes” is the common expression.  Exactly. But you are the cobbler’s child who found a pair of shoes, and this is actually doing what you’re preaching others should do. So that’s kind of very, very counterintuitively intuitive.  Well, just to add on that quickly. So public relations, we’re about promoting and publicity and all of that. The bizarre irony is that the vast majority of people who are great at writing, great at promoting, like me, don’t post on LinkedIn. They’re not sharing their thoughts out there. They’re not doing what they were born to do, which is a really fascinating thing.  And I think part of it is where they work and they’re afraid they’ll say the wrong thing or maybe lose a client or whatever it may be. But my idea is, and I tell my team this, my staff this, is like, “I want you out there sharing how smart you are every single day. I’m under no illusions that you’ll be with me until the end of your life, okay? But while you’re with me, I want you sharing what you know, the good, the bad, and the ugly about our industry, because that’ll help you gain a brand, and it’ll help me attract an audience.”  It’s a win-win. So I wish more people had that mindset where they weren’t stingy about who has a voice but rather empowered everyone across the organization to use that voice for the better of the organization and for themselves.  Yeah, but it takes discipline to write every day. It’s not easy. It’s not easy at all. It’s easier for others than some. I mean, I was a journalist. I came up writing, so for me, it’s just a natural thing, and most PR people are writers. So you’d think it would be pretty easy for us because we write every day for our clients, but I would say probably 85-plus percent of the people in my profession are either afraid or don’t have time or just don’t want to do it, and I just think it’s a shame. They’re leaving a lot of at-bats on the field.  No, absolutely. Absolutely. So you kind of half answered my question that I’m going to ask, but I’m going to ask it anyway because I’m curious about other aspects to it. So what drives growth in your business?  Yeah. So if you asked me this six months ago, I would’ve said primarily it’s LinkedIn and referrals. Today, I’m happy to report that it’s referrals and LinkedIn, and also my optimized website, my website that’s optimized for the LLM era. Again, another example of eating my own dog food here, where I’m making my website readable both to humans and the machines that cite, and I’m preemptively going after the earned media pieces that will then fuel citations for my company and for my website.  So again, I’m trying to create this flywheel here, and I think I’ve been pretty successful so far. I would argue probably among the most successful in PR agencies, where I’m feeding the beast constantly and prescriptively doing so, so that my website, my LinkedIn work, my earned media hits all effectively get scraped and cited by these LLMs, which is the future of search, obviously.  Yeah.  I still use Google occasionally, but even Google is just the AI explanation up top. You’re not even going down, scrolling anymore. You’re just getting the quick explanations. And so everything is headed that way, and I think that being a first mover on that front is particularly important. And I think any marketer that is not looking at the LLM landscape as the next great frontier is missing the boat.  Oh, yeah. I love it. So how do these LLMs work? Do you have an insight, a deeper insight as to how to create these quotes or how to show up? Is it just writing every day, making original posts, or is there more to it?  There’s a bunch of things, and this could be a topic for a podcast in and of itself, but I’ll just talk in basic terms to not have your audience’s eyes glaze over. It used to be that, for example, we would write in PR a press release that was very narrative in structure. X company today announced, and the CEO is proud, and all of that kind of stuff. And then that was used to then go pitch the media.  Well, the LLMs are scraping these press releases now, and what you want to try and do is make it as easy as possible for them to lift the essence of that informationShare on X in an attributable way to the author or the company that is in question here. So it’s about making it digestible and ingestible for the LLMs, and there’s a variety of techniques and tricks that you can do this with, and your audience can do a quick search and find those tricks. But there’s a whole playbook now about how to do that, and it’s not even just things like press releases, but it’s how you structure your bylined articles that you place, and it’s how you frame your conversations with reporters so that you’re saying things in such a way that the LLMs will ingest these and then in turn cite these for respective audiences.  And by the way, whether it’s Gemini, ChatGPT, all these different models, they all look for different things. So some of them rely heavily on places like Reddit. Some of them rely heavily on places like YouTube. Some of them ingest things more frequently than others. So there’s a whole cornucopia of things that has to be done if you’re really going to dial it in because no two LLMs are alike, and they value different things, and they weight them more heavily. So it really is a science, more so than an art form, which is what I think PR is largely known to be, more of an art form.Share on X  Yeah. Yeah. So at the beginning of this conversation, you shared that you have been part of big PR companies, and you wanted to do it differently. You wanted to have a senior people-heavy agency where, I guess, people get straight from the horse’s mouth what they want to have. So is this model scalable? And if so, how?  Yeah, it is scalable. And I think there’s a distinction. So when I say senior talent, I’m not talking about only VPs. So we have account directors, we have account managers, we have senior account executives. So they’re a little further down on the scale.  But what we don’t have is interns and account coordinators and the very earliest players. So everybody has at least four to five years of experience on the team. And so in that sense, it is scalable, provided that the minimum retainers are sufficient. So we have a $12,000 minimum monthly retainer, and that’s very intentional because we know what we need to do to be able to be profitable and to continue to hire and scale, to your point.  So yeah, it is scalable, but it takes work, and it took a lot of hand-wringing and mistakes along the way to get to a point where we’re able to do it now. But it’s kind of beautiful in the sense that I don’t want to be a huge 250-person agency. I think I’m comfortable in the 20- to 50-employee range, and then I’ll probably, in a few years, ride off into the sunset, having made a very good earning or good living, rather and I’m not trying to become a billionaire here.  So who are your ideal customers that you’ll hire?  Yeah. Typically, it’s, first of all, good companies doing good things. We don’t want to work with tobacco companies or people that are negatively contributing to the world. And it’s typically B2B technology companies in A round, B round, C round, D round of funding, or even publicly traded companies. It’s a pretty wide swath, but the common thread is B2B tech is the sweet spot. And again, we’re looking for largely challenger brands. There are some that are the leaders that we have, but I think it's much more interesting to help build a brand than it is to maintain one. So those are the kinds of clients we tend to look for.Share on X  So do you do the same thing for them that you do for yourself, for your agency, or is it a different approach?  Yeah. No, I mean, we focus a heck of a lot more on earned media for our clients because that still is the lifeblood of a traditional PR program. But the earned media, as we just talked about, inform the LLMs that are now citing them in their answers. So we got thrown kind of a bouquet in PR. Everybody’s talking about AI being difficult and losing jobs, and a lot of that is true. The PR industry got kind of fortunate in the sense that earned media is more important than it’s ever been because LLMs rely on them to cite their sources.  And it’s an unfortunate problem because at the same time PR is more important than ever, reporters in the media landscape are dwindling faster than ever.Share on X There are reporters getting laid off everywhere. There’s all kinds of restructuring. There’s reporters bouncing around, going to Substack, trying to eke out a living. And I just wish there was a way to create more parity where 10 years ago, 15 years ago, the media landscape was really strong, and now it’s really struggling.  Now, this isn’t to say there aren’t opportunities out there to pitch the media because there’s more people, and it’s just more diffuse. So you have all these different audiences that you didn’t have before, like Beehiiv and Substack and podcasts and all of these disparate groups, whereas it used to just be, “Here’s my 25 newspapers and magazines we’re going after,” and that was the entirety of it. So now it requires a lot more work, a lot more research to find out where your audiences are and who they’re reading or what they’re watching or which podcast that they’re looking at.  So it requires PR people to be more resourceful, to spend a lot more time researching who they're going after and making sure they're very precise in their outreachShare on X versus the old days when it was this spray-and-pray approach, knowing that some amount of people will cover it and so therefore it’s worth it. Today, it’s about you have to make sure you’re not wasting anyone’s time and making sure that you’ve done your homework.  Yeah, it’s becoming a very fragmented business. So what is your expectation of the future as these big media outlets are disintegrating, consolidating, or even disappearing? Is it just going to be more atomized, or is this a cyclical thing where you have the fragmentation, and then it’s going to consolidate again?  Yeah. The answer is I’m not sure. What I would like to happen is what some—I know some countries actually fund the free and fair media to make sure that it’s a healthy ecosystem where there are checks and balances. I am not under the illusion that that’s going to happen in this country anytime soon, although I wish it would, because it’s really for the betterment of everyone.  But I think what will happen in the short term is more of what’s happening now, which is the atomization of all these folks going to different platforms to try to eke out a living on their own. They’re taking agency of their lives. But I would like to think against that backdrop there’ll be a movement, because businesses are going to require it at some point, that there’s third-party validation from trusted sources.  I would like there to be a consortium of some sort built where companies of a certain size are all contributing to the same pool to try to get this healthy landscape that we need. I don’t know the answers. I haven’t solved it. If I did, I’d be a very, very wealthy man. But I know that the government in some countries are actively funding a free and fair press, and I really wish we would do that here.  So let me switch gears here and ask you a very different question.  Okay.  If you had a magic wand and you could fix one thing in your company in the next 12 months, what would that be?  I think it would be that I could adequately teach everyone in the organization how best to utilize tools like Claude Code and others to automate much of the grunt work that takes time away from strategy. So we are really strategic. We do a lot of brainstorming. We are great at our thinking and our writing and pitching and all of that.Share on X  But there’s a whole heck of a lot of stuff that’s related to reporting and research and stuff that just takes a whole lot of time. So I wish everybody could just instantly understand how best to use these tools to eliminate the drudgery from our jobs, to focus instead on the strategy.  Why do you think it’s not happening?  There’s a learning curve, and frankly, there is an expense. These tokens are not inexpensive, so you have to pay a bunch of money for these things. You have to put the time in. You have to have an appetite to learn it, and then you have to have the aptitude to learn it. Now, I’ve gotten pretty, pretty good at this stuff. I’m self-taught. I built my own website using these tools. I mean, I’m pretty deep myself. But at the end of the day, most of my employees are working their butts off on their client stuff, and this stuff I’m talking about is kind of extracurricular and difficult to do.  And so what I’m trying to do. We just talked about this last week is putting aside office hours for everyone to figure out these big, hairy projects they want to get better at and learn and devote time to it on my dime.Share on X I’m happy to pay for it, for them to put the work in, get the skills that they need to be able to make shorter work of the stuff that just takes too long and isn’t, frankly, satisfying professionally.  Yeah. I mean, it is uncomfortable when people have to learn something that is completely different from the skills that they have been making their money with, right?  Yeah. Well, and I’ll take it a step further. So I’ve been quoted in a couple of, like The Guardian recently, about some of these commencement speeches where you have one of the heads of Google and all these bigwigs at college commencement speeches talking about AI and ushering in this new revolution, and they’re getting booed. They’re getting booed while they’re speaking because the students in these halls recognize that there’s an existential threat right now in the form of AI.  They already have enough challenges relative to affordability and buying a home and all these different things, and now you’re telling them that AI is going to take a huge chunk of their jobs before they even get out of the gate. And against that backdrop, they’re not being equipped in college to be able to come out into the real world with the coding skill, the Claude Code skills I’m talking about now.  So they’re coming out handcuffed and kneecapped out of the gate into this world that they’ve been foisted upon. And I think that’s a big challenge. And so bringing it back to my office, or anybody who’s in the situation we are, everybody’s kind of grudgingly learning how to do this stuff or else. Or else you’ll fall behind, or else you won’t have a job, or else someone will take your job. And I think that’s a very real angsty feeling that a lot of people have.  And so part of me feels guilty for wanting to tell my people, “Look, we’ve got to get skilled up on these things,” because I know a lot of people would rather it just didn’t exist. But pretending something doesn’t exist isn’t the way forward. You've got to look it square in the face, realize what it is, and then do your level best to try to maximize what you can with it. And that's where we're at.Share on X  Do you see a lot of disruption happening in PR, or are agencies just waking up to this issue?  Yeah, I see a lot of disruption, and I think it’s for the worse. I think right now what we’re seeing is there are a whole lot of agencies that are taking the AI slop, spray-and-pray approach. Like, they are literally using these AI machines to pitch all these reporters who, by the way, can tell when they’re getting pitched with AI, and then they’re immediately getting blacklisted because they don’t want to deal with the machine. So yes, there’s disruption, but I think it’s noise instead of a positive disruption. I think there’s not much to be gained from the AI tools that way.  I will say it’s disrupted the way some of the largest agencies have operated because for years they worked on a time-and-materials model. That’s a little difficult to justify now when you have machines doing in seconds what used to take weeks or sometimes months from a research standpoint. So that’s disrupted the whole agency model. And I would argue that’s for the better because the time-and-materials model, I think, was an excuse for busy work.  Yeah. That is true. What do you suggest if someone is looking for a PR agency? What is the criteria that they should apply to evaluate an agency? What kind of agency should they be choosing?  Yeah. So I mean, I think there’s a couple things I would say. One is, make sure that you understand who’s actually doing the work on your team. There’s a classic bait-and-switch problem in PR. I already talked about this, where it’s like you talk to me during the call, and then you have an intern doing your work, and that obviously isn’t very equitable. So there’s that. I think having proficiency in the new world relative to large language models and share of citation.  I think that stuff is really important now because directionally that’s where we’re headed. And then for me, the one thing that is so true it was true the day I started my agency, and it’ll always be true is hire strong writers, real human writers. Because the AI slop is nauseating out there. Something like 60% of posts on LinkedIn are now written by AI, as reported by LinkedIn. And people are just getting really sick of this sea of sameness because AI really is just the average of everything that’s come before it, everything that’s been written before it.  It’s an average of that. And that’s a path to mediocrity really, really quickly. So strong writers, senior leaders who are doing the work, I think, are key, and then obviously prowess around the idea of how to get your products and services cited across the LLMs that are becoming increasingly important every day.  Love it. Love it. That’s very encouraging because what I see is that these platforms, like Claude, they offer to codify your writing voice and write in your voice. What do you think of these approaches?  Yeah. I think probably for some lines of work it might make sense. For our world, it just does not. If you’re a writer and you’ve valued the English language, you can very quickly determine what’s AI and what is not. And that’s the case with all of the reporters that are covering our clients every day. So they know what’s AI. People in our industry know what AI is, and you can just tell when someone is responding with AI.  You’re getting a note in the mail that’s written by AI. You’re getting an email back from AI. It’s just nauseating, and it’s just disheartening. And I think that there is going to increasingly be a premium placed on human writers and human artists and people who are doing human work that has real value and real thought versus the distillation of everything that’s come before it, which is what AI is.  So if people would like to learn more about you or read your posts or connect with your team, where should they go?  So cracklepr.com is the website. I am Parry Headrick on LinkedIn. You can find me there. And I’ve gotten off of most of the other social platforms because I’ve had some issues with the Facebooks of the world, and so I canceled those a long time ago. So Bluesky would be another one. Parry Headrick on Bluesky.  Okay. Well, if you liked what you heard and you want real writers who will be discovered by LLMs, and you want to get your company featured on ChatGPT and Claude and the other platforms, then check out Parry Headrick, Founder of Crackle PR. Start reading his posts, which I will be. I think I already am. And if you enjoyed this conversation, then stay tuned because a couple of times a week I’ll bring an exciting entrepreneur who has changed the world and will share their unique frameworks with you. So thanks for coming, Parry, and thanks for listening. It’s been my pleasure. Thanks. Important Links: Parry's LinkedIn Parry's website

  Caroline presenting at the United Astrology Conference, so we journey back to this excellent show, recorded August 20th, 2020… with a small astro*of*now intro…    Today: Moon – Uranus partnered in Gemini, that we all be willing to be messengers of the ingenious good – humans humbly cooperating with nature's design genius… That it may become a traveling story, which inspires good actions – that becomes a story….   —– Original post   As so much life is at risk, Caroline welcomes award-winning science journalist, Judith D Schwartz, whose latest book The Reindeer Chronicles, & other inspiring stories of working with Nature to Heal the Earth, proffers myriad heartening stories of devastating deserts than can return to blooming, as can our hearts…   Judith Schwartz is an award-winning science journalist and leading voice in regenerative agriculture and ecological restoration. Her latest book, The Reindeer Chronicles, shares the inspiring stories of a passionate group of eco-restorers who are following nature's lead to help revitalize some of the most degraded places on earth—and succeeding. With the UN declaring the next 10 years as the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, Schwartz's book will help raise awareness about the importance of regenerating natural systems to fight climate change. “Our natural systems are under great stress,” she says. “However, nature's inclination is toward healing, and we can work with the logic of ecology to restore landscapes and waterways.”   CoyoteNetworkNews.com · Events, Councils, & More Visionary Activist on Patreon The post Revisiting: Cooling Mists on the Conflagration appeared first on KPFA.

Send us Fan MailChatGPT. Claude. Gemini. Or Google...Search visibility has changed.AI search is changing how donors and volunteers find nonprofits, and most teams are still figuring out what to do about it. This week, host Jena Lynch talks with Jessica King, Director at Getting Attention, about what's actually working in search right now...from why ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are showing up as real traffic sources, to why relying on one platform is risky, plus how to make full use of the $120,000-a-year Google Ad Grant. Jessica's take: you don't need a new playbook for AI, just a stronger version of the marketing fundamentals you already know. What You'll LearnWhy ChatGPT and Claude are already shortlisting nonprofits before donors ever reach your site, and what that means for your funnel.Why AI search doesn't call for a new strategy, just sharper execution of the SEO fundamentals you already have in place.How to build a channel mix that holds up when a single algorithm or platform shifts.How to extend the reach of your $120,000-a-year Google Ad Grant as search behavior changes.Why page-level content depth outweighs metadata for both AI and traditional search, and what that means for your content priorities.If your team has just a few hours a month for online visibility this Giving Season, this episode tells you where to spend them.About Our GuestJessica King is Director at Getting Attention, where she helps nonprofits get more from Google Ad Grants, paid Google Ads, and search-focused content strategy.

Vos clients ne cherchent déjà plus comme avant.Au lieu d'ouvrir dix onglets sur Google pour comparer différentes solutions, ils peuvent demander à ChatGPT, Gemini ou Claude de sélectionner les offres les plus adaptées à leur situation.L'IA n'achète pas encore massivement à leur place. En revanche, elle commence à décider quelles marques méritent d'être considérées.Et cela change profondément le travail des marketeurs.Dans cet épisode, nous allons voir pourquoi les marques doivent désormais gagner deux batailles : être suffisamment claires, crédibles et documentées pour être recommandées par les machines, tout en restant suffisamment singulières, désirables et mémorables pour être préférées par les humains.Nous parlerons de considération, de positionnement, de découvrabilité, de réputation et de préférence de marque. Nous verrons aussi pourquoi chercher uniquement à optimiser sa présence dans les IA pourrait conduire à un nouveau risque : devenir parfaitement comparable… et donc parfaitement interchangeable avec ses concurrents.L'objectif n'est pas de choisir entre marketing pour les machines et marketing pour les humains.Il faut construire une marque que les machines recommandent et que les humains ont envie de choisir.---------------

Peter Ryan talks to Andrew Kokes, Chief Marketing Advisor at Pivot AI Global, about how AI is fundamentally changing B2B marketing and sales. As buyers increasingly use ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other AI platforms to research suppliers and build shortlists, traditional search engine visibility is no longer enough. Andrew explains why companies now need to think about AI discoverability — ensuring that answer engines understand who they are, what they do, and why they should be recommended. The conversation explores why clear positioning and a well-defined niche matter more than ever, how websites need to evolve from digital brochures into machine-readable knowledge bases, and why credible third-party articles, analyst coverage and customer reviews can influence whether AI recommends a business. For CX and BPO providers, especially smaller and emerging companies, the message is simple: doing great work is no longer enough. You also need to make sure the machines know about it. https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewkokes/ https://www.pivotaiglobal.com/   Mark Hillary's book "If AI Can't See You, You Don't Exist" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4Q9VMPP   Summary: Mark Hillary and Peter Ryan discuss the evolving landscape of customer experience (CX) and business process outsourcing (BPO) with Andrew Kokes, Chief Marketing Advisor for Pivot AI Global. They explore the concept of discoverability, emphasizing the shift from traditional Google searches to AI-driven answer engines like ChatGPT and Gemini. Kokes highlights the importance of clear positioning, consistent messaging, and third-party validation for smaller BPOs to remain relevant. He also stresses the need for a modern digital strategy that caters to both AI and human audiences, including maintaining up-to-date, accessible content. The conversation underscores the necessity for a fundamental rethink in marketing strategies to adapt to AI's impact on search and discovery.

A.M. Edition for Sept. 2. Bonds are selling off again with investors left unimpressed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's seeming indifference to the recent rise in yields. Economics editor Paul Hannon and WSJ reporter Chelsey Dulaney explain how the bond rout is impacting markets, consumers and businesses and what it will take to calm investors. Plus, Open AI restricts its latest AI model, rating it a 'critical' cyber risk. And Google tries to challenge the frontrunners in agentic coding. Luke Vargas hosts.

A detailed look at the astrology forecast for September 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about news and events that happened over the past month since our last forecast, and then in the second hour we get into the astrology of September. In the first part of the news section we discuss the strikingly literal manifestations of the recent eclipses in Leo and Pisces, including devastating floods and the deaths of several prominent figures and monarchs. After that we address the recent controversy surrounding Steven Forrest. In terms of the astrology of September, we open the month still coming out of the chaos of eclipse season and the recent Mars-Saturn square, but the first week of September offers some excellent electional opportunities while Mercury and Venus are still in their home signs of Virgo and Libra. There is a major turning point and tone shift around the New Moon in Virgo on September 10, when Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini, and Mercury and Venus both change signs the same day. The astrology culminates late in the month around the Full Moon in Aries on September 26, because right after that Mars moves into Leo and begins to oppose Pluto, while Venus slows down to station retrograde in Scorpio in early October. Ultimately, late September acts as a preparatory phase, setting the stage and introducing the core themes for the intense Venus and Mars retrogrades that will dominate the next several months.

Dan Nathan interviews Phill Rosen, CEO/CTO and co-founder of Astraeus, an AI infrastructure company for wealth management. Rosen recounts his path from college dropout to fintech builder, including Orchard Platform and Even Financial (later MoneyLion Engine), explaining how API-embedded distribution and machine-learning signals improved lending decisioning while navigating regulatory explainability. He argues many “AI companies” mainly deploy or fine-tune others' models and that value often lies in data pipelines, governance, and deterministic software around AI. Rosen describes Astreus targeting independent RIAs and private-equity roll-ups (from ~$2B to ~$200B AUM) by unifying siloed legacy data, codifying compliance rules, and deploying “digital workers” with 90-day pilots to show operational ROI and enable scalable, auditable agentic workflows. They prefer model portability (often Gemini; testing Kimi 3) to manage cost and data sovereignty, and Rosen weighs whether LLMs commoditize into cloud-like infrastructure as tooling matures. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 633 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Nashville Bound: Brooks and Dunn, Musical Deepfakes and Eternal Glitter  Brian is Nashville-bound to record his debut album, hang out at a Brooks and Dunn rehearsal, but the big question is whether he can get through it without kicking over another microphone (like he did with Brad Paisley). Before he sets off, the guys get into AI deepfakes, after a friend cloned Brian into saying unspeakable things about country music.That leads into discussion of a new guitar innovation - a guitar with an integrated fold-out kickstand - clever engineering, or a solution in search of a problem? Richard then confesses that he let Gemini set up ten presets on his floor modeler and came away a little shaken by how good the results were, which reopens the big question of whether outsourcing your tone quietly kills the fun of chasing it.The guys look at accessible guitars with Braille-friendly controls, Brian shows off a fake Marshall he insists on calling a "farshall," and Richard makes the case for the seatbelt guitar strap that 100% needs to exist. Also Brian is plagued by eternal glitter that still haunts his garage six years on.Pedal Coin, the Tupac case, GTA 6, cowboy boots on Broadway, Married with Children reruns, the windiest gig ever played...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!Support the show

Fable 5.1 is the new state of the art—but its high token usage and restrictive limits mean the real question isn't whether to switch, but where it belongs in your personal model stack. NLW examines its biggest capability gains, early user reactions, and how to decide when a frontier model is worth the cost.

Over two decades in Memphis-area schools will teach you how to spot a leader who's still growing. Fred Holmes — known inside the Ruckus Maker Mastermind as the Velvet Hammer — started as a science teacher in Shelby County Schools, moved through teacher leadership and an assistant principalship, ran his own building as principal in Arkansas, and is now back in Memphis Shelby County Schools as a Professional Learning Communities coach, building leadership capacity district-wide. He's been a Ruckus Maker since the Mastermind's earliest days, joining during his first principalship and never missing a Wednesday since. Find him inside the Ruckus Maker community at betterleadersbetterschools.com Most AI tools will give you a confident answer whether or not it's actually true. Fred Holmes, a longtime Ruckus Maker and Memphis-area school leader, breaks down why he trusts his AI coach for principals — Digital Danny, built exclusively for school leadership — with his highest-stakes conversations, and why a decade-old peer Mastermind still shapes how he leads today.

This week we break down Thomas Campbell's latest appearance on Joe Rogan. Campbell is back with his wild theory that consciousness is fundamental, reality is essentially a simulation, and AI may already be conscious. We get into his claims about teaching Gemini and Alexa to remote view, whether observation actually creates reality, the purpose of human consciousness, UFOs, and his belief that AI could ultimately help humanity rather than destroy it. Fascinating ideas, huge claims, and plenty for us to argue about. Enjoy!
