Growing up a city kid, it hadn’t dawned on Dr Emma Jones that she could and would dedicate herself to being a Rural Generalist. Then a conversation with other medical students about the benefits of living regionally led her to the John Flynn Prevocational Doctor Program. Taking part in rural placements ignited her passion for regional healthcare. She hasn’t looked back. Now a GP in Geraldton, she thrives in a diverse, flexible career that includes private practice, rural outreach, hospital work, and medical education. Emma shares her journey, the challenges she faced, and the rewards of life as a rural doctor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ever feel like you're good at a lot of things... but still not sure where you fit? You're capable, versatile (even a top performer)...but something's missing. You might be a generalist. I sat down with David on Addicted to Betterment to talk about why generalists often feel overlooked, and how to get clear on: Your mindset (why you're not broken—just wired differently) Your value (and how to talk about it) Your next steps (without trying to squeeze into someone else's box) It's time to finally feel seen for the skills you actually bring.

I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.----Check us out on:Website: https://neon.fund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/Twitter: https://x.com/TheNeonShowwConnect with Siddhartha on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siddharthaahluwalia/Twitter: https://x.com/siddharthaa7----This video is for informational purposes only.

This week our host Brandi Starr is joined by Jorge Alvarez, seasoned B2B SaaS marketing leader and co-founder of Evolve IQ. Meet Jorge Alvarez, a powerhouse in the marketing realm with over two decades of experience in driving growth at fintech and data organizations. With four successful stints as a CMO and a history of managing a $500 million investment portfolio at American Express, Jorge has mastered the art of data-driven marketing strategies, ABM, and funnel optimization. Currently, he integrates the latest generative AI tactics to revolutionize team efficiency and deliver high-impact results at Evolve IQ. In this episode of Revenue Rehab, Brandi and Jorge explore how AI is transforming the marketing landscape. They delve into whether AI is making marketing specialists obsolete or is it merely the next evolution in team structure. This conversation navigates the balance between human expertise and AI capabilities, offering insights into the future of marketing roles and strategic leadership. Episode Type: Problem Solving Industry analysts, consultants, and founders take a bold stance on critical revenue challenges, offering insights you won't hear anywhere else. These episodes explore common industry challenges and potential solutions through expert insights and varied perspectives. Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers: Topic #1 The Future of Marketing Teams with AI [00:05:46] Jorge Alvarez discusses the transformative role of AI in marketing, emphasizing how it will alter team structures: “The power of AI, it's huge. And when you start digging deeper into agentic AI and the possibilities that that enables, you see that it's going to change fundamentally. The way we work, like the way we set up our teams is going to be very different.” Topic #2 Specialists vs. Generalists in the Age of AI [00:08:27] Alvarez provides insight into the ongoing debate about the necessity of specialists vs. generalists in marketing as AI becomes more prevalent: “The way I see it is that you have your CMO that should be super experienced… and then you have generalists that are actually executing on those tasks and they work alongside maybe an engineer that is taking care of setting up the agents in the proper way.” Topic #3 Preparing for an AI-Driven Future [00:29:44] On adapting to new AI technologies, Alvarez shares advice for those early in their marketing careers: “I would say start learning about all sorts of tools, start implementing them at your job, if it's possible. Right…I see, I follow many, many podcasts and, you know, YouTubers and on a weekly basis, the number of advancements we get…it's going to, if you don't, it's going to hit you in the face at some point.” What's One Thing You Can Do Today Jorge's ‘One Thing' is to dive into implementing AI with simple workflows and activities. “Just start jumping into it and testing different ways. You'll find yourself pleasantly surprised by the efficiency and possibilities these tools bring. Start small, explore what AI can offer in your tasks, and gradually incorporate it into your workflow to maximize its potential.” Rapid Fire Round In this rapid-fire round, Brandi Starr asked Jorge Alvarez four critical questions about balancing AI and human resources in business. When asked, “If your company is struggling to figure out where to leverage humans versus AI, what's the first thing you should do?” Jorge's advice was simple: Start implementing AI in small ways. Don't overthink it; just begin testing and iterating. In response to “What's one red flag that signals a company has this challenge but doesn't realize it yet?” Jorge pointed out that if a company outright bans AI, that's a sign they're falling behind. When asked, “What's the most common mistake people make when trying to determine human versus AI?” he emphasized that failing to revisit AI tools regularly is a huge misstep as what didn't work two months ago may be game-changing today. Finally, to the question, “What's the fastest action someone can take today to make progress?” Jorge doubled down: Start experimenting. The sooner you begin, the sooner you'll uncover opportunities. Buzzword Banishment Jorge's Buzzword to Banish is ‘ABM' (Account-Based Marketing). Jorge argues for its banishment because “people throw ABM for many things that are not ABM and it kind of cheapens a little bit the impact of such an amazing methodology.” Brandi agrees, pointing out that it is not only overused, but often used incorrectly.

The rise of IT generalists is becoming increasingly significant as the industry grapples with a growing talent gap. A recent report by Auvik reveals that a staggering 78% of IT professionals feel that work-related stressors hinder their ability to improve their skills, with 60% experiencing burnout. As baby boomers retire at an accelerated pace, the workload is shifting to senior employees, intensifying stress and workload issues. The report highlights the necessity for IT professionals to possess a broad range of knowledge across various IT functions, emphasizing the integration of artificial intelligence and automation to alleviate these challenges.Managed service providers (MSPs) are facing heightened security demands, yet there are concerns about whether clients are allocating their budgets effectively. A series of market reports indicate that organizations are managing an average of 45 cybersecurity tools, which calls for a streamlined approach to security controls. The landscape of cybersecurity is evolving, with a notable shift towards generative AI and the need for comprehensive strategies for machine identity and access management. MSPs are encouraged to help clients prioritize security investments based on risk rather than simply increasing spending.Recent product announcements from companies like Scion AG, Huntress, and Cisco reflect the industry's response to these challenges. Scion AG has launched Scion Guard360, a cybersecurity solution aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, while Huntress introduced a sensitive data mode to aid compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. Cisco's Meraki for Government solution has achieved FedRAMP authorization, underscoring the importance of compliance in enhancing security for federal agencies. These developments highlight the trend towards automation and AI-driven solutions in the security sector.The backlash against Broadcom's acquisition of VMware is resulting in significant financial gains for competitors like Nutanix and Scale Computing. Nutanix reported a 16% revenue increase, driven by customers seeking alternatives to VMware, while Scale Computing experienced a remarkable 400% growth in enterprise demand. This shift in buying behavior indicates that organizations are actively looking for new solutions, presenting an opportunity for IT consultants to guide clients through the migration process. As the market evolves, understanding alternatives to VMware could provide a competitive advantage for service providers.

In this episode, we're focusing on the “scale” option—how shop owners can grow their operations strategically to compete in today's collision repair landscape. To help us navigate this topic, we're joined by Thomas Goforth, former owner of Absolute Collision and a two-time guest of The Collision Vision. Thomas built Absolute Collision into a seven-store MSO in less than four years, creating a strong culture, developing a robust acquisition pipeline, and ultimately selling the business to a national consolidator in late 2024. He's one of the best operators in the industry, and today, he'll share insights into scaling a business, building a winning culture, and navigating the sale of a rapidly growing MSO.

Consider this The Creator's Guide to Scaling: When (and When Not) to Monetize Your Hobby Summary In this engaging conversation, Chardeney interviews Katie Gatti Tassin and Henah Velez from Money With Katie. They discuss the intricacies of creative capacity, the challenges of content creation in the media industry, and the importance of community and real-life inspiration. They share personal experiences, insights on navigating industry trends, and valuable tips for aspiring creators. The discussion emphasizes the balance between quality and quantity in creative work, the significance of staying grounded, and the lessons learned throughout their journeys in media. Takeaways Creative capacity is about balancing productivity and quality. It's essential to decouple creative output from self-worth. Real-life conversations can inspire content creation. Experimentation is key to finding what resonates with your audience. Don't let social media dictate your creative process. Focus on the quality of ideas rather than quantity. Community support is vital for growth and inspiration. Be open to feedback, but trust your instincts. Start projects without overthinking the details. Travel can provide a fresh perspective and inspiration.

New coaching clients often share they don't know how to hire another consultant. They say things like, "I don't know how to find someone that knows all the things I know and who can work with clients in all the ways I work with them." The truth is, they are right. Most people who have all of their capabilities alreay have their own business or are running an organization. They are not available for hire and if they were it would likely be too expensive to have them on your team. When you do a lot of types of work for different types and sizes of organizations, hiring decisions feel overwhelming because there's no clarity on the exact skills or expertise needed. The solution is to focus on positioning your buisness away from being a generalist. Once you specialize by what you do and/or niche by the organizations you serve, it simplifies everything in your business including hiring. CASE STUDY: Using examples from fundraising, I cover how targeting particular services or clients can facilitate easier hiring, more efficient team building, and ultimately, business growth
I'm not sure but I think this is the FIRST AI interview where it interviews the host of the show! I wanted a cool way to wrap up the season, as well as share some of my thoughts on polymathy. I figured why not test out some AI tools while I was at it. I did try NotebookLM and Elevenlabs, but their conversational AI were too slow or in the NotebookLM's case too caught up in the inputted source files. Maybe if I inputted a pdf prompt of being a host interview, or something like that it will work.Note: I did cut out pauses while it was thinking, and the few times I had to prompt it. I'll try to include notes below on how I did it, and the prompts, etc. I also used Adobe Podcast to enhance the audio, as the recording was a bit loud and needed equalization. I left in a couple prompts cause it was funny, and since this is the first time. I felt that it would be useful for other people to see how it works.Some Prompts:“I want you to interview me for my Polymath Polycast show.”“Can you ask me about my POLYMATH integrated operating system?”“I would like to finish off this podcast episode exploring the ideas of polymathy, the multidisciplinary spectrum that I created, and being multidisciplinary in general.”AI Summary:**Introduction:** The Polymath PolyCast explores the lives of multidisciplinary individuals, celebrating their unique journeys. Today, the tables are turned as ChatGPT interviews the host to dive deeper into the show's mission, inspiration, and future direction.**Why the Polymath PolyCast Exists:** The podcast was created to showcase polymaths, highlight the beauty of being multidisciplinary, and validate those navigating such a lifestyle. Guests are selected based on their multidisciplinary qualities, often discovered through keywords like "polymath" or "multipotentialite" in their profiles.**Favorite Moments:** The recurring question, "What is a polymath to you?" reveals unique perspectives, even when answers share similarities. This moment resonates deeply, creating a sense of connection and understanding.**Podcast Evolution and the Mini-Series:** The host plans to take a break after this season, returning with a renewed focus and introducing a mini-series. Tentatively called "Triple Threat" or "Triple PolyCast," the series will feature multiple guests exploring overlapping skills and contrasting perspectives.**Definition of a Polymath:** A polymath has three or more areas of expertise and an insatiable curiosity. Polymathy is a journey, thriving in adaptation, and can be pursued either one interest at a time or by juggling multiple passions simultaneously.**The Polymath Integrated Operating System (PIOS):** Born from frustration with existing tools, PIOS is a six-layer knowledge management framework designed for polymaths and specialists alike. It emphasizes consistency and integrates personal systems like journaling, habit tracking, and content management. The system is adaptable, laying the groundwork for advanced tools like a personal AI assistant.**Closing Thoughts:** Polymathy thrives on individuality. No two polymaths are the same, even if they share mindsets or backgrounds. The spectrum of skills and experiences is what makes this journey so fascinating.
I've been an avid and active user of TikTok, since it was Musically. I found a home there as a creator, and it taught me how to make short form videos.

It is going to be a tough one to lose, its been real TikTok.

For this episode, our Host Cole Strandberg outlines the seismic shifts disrupting the collision repair industry. The single-store generalist shop, capable of repairing every type of vehicle, is quickly becoming unsustainable. Increasing vehicle complexity, equipment costs, and training demands are forcing shop owners to rethink their strategies. Cole walks us through three paths forward: specialize, scale, or sell. Each option offers opportunities and challenges, but doing nothing is no longer an option. We hope you enjoy the show.

In this episode, we chat with Joe David, MD of Elementos, a resources development company focused on the exploration and development of tin projects into operations, with a focus on jurisdictions that demonstrate a high level of governance and foster a responsible approach to mining. Their assets are in Spain and Australia. With qualifications in Mine Engineering, Civil Engineering, and a degree in Finance, Joe’s career has spanned executive roles with private equity, listed and private mining companies, as an Associate Director within M&A advisory and running his own project development consulting company. During his career, he has managed the development of mining projects, bankable feasibility studies, exploration and metallurgical programs, project financing, corporate finance advisory, corporate strategy, and mergers and acquisitions. He gives us an overview of Elementos, their Oropesa Tin Project and Cleveland Project, the tin market, and advice for those seeking c-suite roles in mining. KEY TAKEAWAYS Elementos is a resources development company focused on tin projects in Spain and Australia. The company aims to become a vertically integrated tin producer within the European Union, addressing the current lack of domestic tin supply in the region. The flagship asset, the Oropesa Tin Project in Andalusia, Spain, is positioned to produce approximately 5,400 tonnes of tin concentrate per year. The project benefits from a supportive regulatory environment and is expected to receive necessary permits by the end of 2025 or early 2026. The Cleveland Tin Project in Tasmania has a rich history of tin mining and significant resources. Recent drilling has revealed promising tungsten mineralization, indicating potential for additional valuable resources alongside tin and copper. While developing mining projects in Europe can be challenging due to regulatory hurdles, Spain is seen as a favourable location due to its historical mining background and government support for revitalising the industry. The European Union's Critical Raw Materials Act further encourages domestic production, making it an attractive environment for mining investments. BEST MOMENTS "For me, I want to explain how I've got to where I am in my career, certainly took the generalist path, which can certainly be a frustrating path when you don't feel like maybe you're progressing as much as the specialist early in your career." "There's currently no operating tin mines within the European Union at all. There's no domestic supply." "The tin industry has been screaming out for vertical integration for a while... we're just not a company that's prepared to sit around and wait." "Spain is a bit of an outlier... the Iberian Peninsula has had a long history of mining... and the Andalusian government is putting huge investment effort into rebuilding the Spanish mining industry."

Adam Harstad and Matt Waldman' conversations about football, player development, and politics and sports. There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam (and not surprising he earned the FSWA's Fantasy Writer of the Year). He's a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He's also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. https://youtu.be/E9lSo6nDZtg Topics David Epstein's work on the value of being a generalist in sports and it delivering more value toward development than early specialization. How Epstein's research has parallels in football and other life skills. Epstein's research into practice and how it applies to football and life. Politics and sport: how it has always been intertwined -- especially football. Thoughts and suggestions on the post-election blame game and social media behavior that isn't helpful to their causes. The dynamics with political parties and individual behaviors when politics is the arena. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2024 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95. Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy GM interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2023 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge. Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children.
