Podcasts about guardrails

How can leaders resist the ego-inflation that comes with praise and status?In episode 248 of At The Table, Pat and Cody reflect on the viral Coldplay kiss cam scandal—not to sensationalize it, but to draw important leadership lessons from it. They explore the dangers of ego, power, and isolation for leaders, particularly those who fail to stay grounded in their home life and faith.Topics explored in this episode: (0:56) When Praise Becomes Poison* Why the Coldplay incident is more than just clickbait—it's a cautionary tale.(6:44) How Leaders Lose Their Way* "Reward-centered" versus "responsibility-centered" leadership mindsets.* Leaders often start believing praise, inflating their sense of entitlement.(9:08) Home vs. Work* Praise and affirmation at work can distort leaders' expectations at home.* Leaders become vulnerable when they fail to invest emotionally in their families.(14:20) Guardrails and Hard Truths* Say out loud that your family is more important than work—and mean it.(20:26) Building a Life That's Enough* Practical ways to reconnect with your spouse and share a vision at home.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

John Pasmore, thinks the answer is yes — but not if we keep doing things the old way. In this episode, the CEO and founder of Latimer AI lays out the company's strategy for inclusive AI: replace scraped social content with vetted academic material, digitize underrepresented history, and build guardrails with purpose.Charna and John also explore the implications for enterprise, healthcare, and education — sectors where small biases can cause serious harm.  TIMESTAMPS[00:00:00] — Intro  [00:02:00] — John's Journey into AI[00:04:00] — Data Sources & Historical Archives[00:06:00] — Underrepresented Digital Histories[00:08:00] — Flawed Training Sets in LLMs[00:10:00] — Measuring & Detecting Bias[00:12:00] — Algorithmic Bias in Hiring[00:14:00] — Copyright & Ethical Data Use[00:16:00] — Multimodal Platform Rollout[00:18:00] — Enterprise Privacy & LLM Hosting[00:20:00] — Optimism & Intergenerational Impact[00:22:00] — Founding in a Crowded Market[00:26:00] — Charna's Takeaways on Systemic Bias[00:28:00] — Guardrails vs Structural Solutions[00:30:00] — Training Data vs Output Behavior[00:32:00] — Algorithmic vs Contextual Bias[00:34:00] — Providing Cultural Context to LLMs[00:36:00] — Community-Based Data Labeling[00:38:00] — The Yard Tour & HBCU Partnerships[00:40:00] — Wrapping up the Season & What's Next QUOTESJohn Pasmore “If a company is using AI to look at resumes, what is it? How is it classifying people's names or, we're surprised that sometimes it's using the name and coming to some conclusion about the desirability of a candidate just based on their name, where maybe that wasn't the intent."Charna Parkey “Instead of modifying the model itself, we can say, okay, here's a historical context, here's a new cultural insight, and here's the situation. Now tell me about the outcome, right?" 

In this solo episode, Chanie Wilschanski challenges one of the most common—and misleading—phrases in school leadership: “Let's get on the same page.”While it may sound like alignment and feel like unity, this phrase often leads to passive agreement, false harmony, and a school culture built on appeasement—not real accountability.Chanie shares why being “on the same page” is no longer her goal—and how installing shared standards, guardrails, and team rhythms can transform your school systems and restore trust across your staff.If you're tired of repeating the same expectations over and over, this episode offers a leadership framework for creating clarity, follow-through, and sustainable team ownership—without micromanaging.What You'll LearnWhy “being on the same page” creates confusion, not clarityHow to lead with shared standards that drive school-wide accountabilityWhy rhythms and systems—not reminders—protect your school cultureA practical framework for restoring team ownership without overfunctioningWhat false harmony is costing you in terms of trust, time, and retentionHow to navigate team members with inconsistent follow-throughKey Insights“On the Same Page” Is a Leadership MirageIt creates a false sense of alignment while team members continue to operate with unclear expectations. Real school culture is built through systems, clarity, and ownership—not agreement alone.Standards Build Clarity—Ownership Creates StabilityYour team doesn't need the same words. They need the same follow-through. When team roles are clearly defined and reinforced, it reduces micromanaging and school burnout.Guardrails Make Standards StickSystems like recommitment rhythms, role clarity, and consistent follow-up help move your team from second-guessing and scrambling to anchored, confident leadership.Overfunctioning Leaders Block OwnershipWhen school directors or owners jump in to “just fix it,” it reinforces a culture of dependency and disempowers the team. Guardrails allow you to stop doing it all—and let your staff rise.The Guardrails Framework: Try This InsteadTired of repeating the same school standard over and over? Use this 3-part framework to reinforce shared ownership and sustainable systems:1. Define Follow-Through → What does success look like for each role? → Be specific, especially when addressing low accountability or inconsistent team members.2. Install a Recommitment Rhythm → Use weekly check-ins, midpoint reviews, or 1:1s to revisit standards regularly. → Don't build new rules—recommit to existing ones with intention.3. Clarify Ownership → Who is responsible for what? → Sustainable school operations require role clarity and systems that reduce friction.Memorable Quotes “You don't need matching words. You need matching follow-through.” “Culture isn't built by agreement. It's built by what we hold—together.” “If the standard is that children go home clean, your schedule must support that.”Why This Matters for School LeadersReduces the pressure of overfunctioning and the mental load of repeating standardsShifts team dynamics from passive compliance to real accountabilityHelps overwhelmed school directors install systems that actually stickStrengthens school retention and team trust by building predictable rhythmsProtects your school culture from burnout, resentment, and low follow-throughResources & Next Steps...

In this high-velocity, truth-telling episode, Erin and Ken sit down with data scientist, author, and newsletter legend Christopher Penn to cut through the noise and the slop around AI and go-to-market. Chris breaks down how today's AI isn't solely about scale or speed it's about whether your thinking actually changes how people lead. From RAGs and reporting frameworks to the future of SaaS, software, and your own job, this conversation pulls zero punches.

In this Q&A session, Tori and Nick sit down with Connie to answer real questions about how our firm approaches retirement withdrawals using a risk-based guardrail strategy. Watch this podcast to gain a fuller understanding of how our dynamic withdrawal approach works, how it adapts to market conditions, and why it gives retirees more clarity and confidence without relying on rigid rules of thumb. Some topics covered: What are guardrails and how do they work? How do we adjust withdrawals during market ups and downs? Why flexibility matters more than precision. Whether you're approaching retirement or already in it, this conversation will give you a clearer picture of how we help clients enjoy their money—without the fear of running out.

Well, this was a week where a lot of the checks and balances seemed to disappear before our eyes. That's right, guardrails that used to protect us seem to not be that much of a concern for The Boss and his people. Which probably means it's a big concern for most regular people.

The recent European heatwave killed some 2,300 people with more than half of deaths attributable to human-caused climate change. But what if temperatures can be lowered using technology? It's a highly charged question. One of the ideas out there is to create a parasol of particles around the earth to reflect sunlight back into space. Cooling the planet this way is known as solar geoengineering. Many Europeans reject geoengineering outright. They say nobody should be playing God with the climate. Yet exploration of geoengineering, backed by private investors, looks to be zooming ahead. Unregulated. But in anticipation of strong future demand in a world where temperature rises are on course to reach nearly 3 degrees this century. That's way above the 1.5 degree target concluded a decade ago under the Paris climate agreement. In this episode: a conversation with Cynthia Scharf. Cynthia participated in the Paris climate negotiations as an aide to former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and she's now with the Brussels-based think-tank, the Center for Future Generations. She is not giving up on the Paris deal from a decade ago. Far from it. Efforts to drastically cut emissions are essential. But Cynthia also says the time has come to consider the implications of what she calls technologies of desperation like dimming the sun with solar geoengineering.​ And time for the Europe to take a leadership role to determine if the technology can ever be safe and viable — or if it's just too dangerous even to try. China's preference for state secrecy makes it unsuitable for such a role, while the US, under Trump, has walked out on climate action and collective security. That leaves the European Union well placed to pick up the mantle of responsibility and to try to put up international guardrails against careless or malign use of geoengineering. Opening up discussion of geoengineering could also help to quell conspiracy theories linked to the technology, like the idea that contrails from aircraft are chemtrails for mind control. Less clearcut is how the EU can promote international governance of solar geoengineering in an era when multilateralism has hit the rocks and anti-science forces are on the rise. This episode was made in partnership with the Center for Future Generations. You can find more on Cynthia's work here and more on the Center's work on advanced AI, biotech and neurotech here.Support the show

What if audit wasn't just a watchdog—but a catalyst for innovation, trust, and long-term growth? And what can education learn from it?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, Matt Kirchner sits down with Abim Kolawole, Chief Audit Executive at Northwestern Mutual, to explore how risk management, when done right, becomes a strategic advantage. Abim shares his remarkable journey—from growing up in Nigeria and watching Wall Street as a kid, to becoming a lawyer at the SEC, to now leading audit at one of America's most respected financial institutions.But this episode goes far beyond compliance. It's about how innovation and integrity can—and must—coexist. Abim breaks down how technology can accelerate outcomes only when deployed safely, how AI is reshaping how organizations detect and act on risk, and why relevance is the new currency for both businesses and educators.Listen to learn:Why tech is only an accelerant if you deliver it safelyHow AI helps businesses “listen for risk” and act with foresightWhat schools can learn from client-centric models in businessHow Northwestern Mutual is balancing tradition with transformationWhy critical thinking—not just tools—is the real superpower3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Audit is no longer just about compliance—it's about enabling innovation. Abim Kolawole views audit as a strategic partner that delivers foresight, insights, and confidence to help a company grow safely. By using data, analytics, and a future-focused mindset, internal audit can help organizations place smarter bets, not just avoid bad ones.2. Technology only accelerates value when it's implemented with trust and purpose. At Northwestern Mutual, cloud migration and emerging tech like AI are approached with a “safe by design” mindset that includes cross-functional vetting and intentional guardrails. Abim emphasizes that skipping this step puts long-term client trust—and company relevance—at risk.3. Education leaders can learn from the client-centric models used in business. Just like Northwestern Mutual redesigned the advisor and client experience using design thinking, educators must reimagine the student and teacher experience before introducing new tools. Critical thinking, not technology alone, is the foundation of a truly transformative education.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about Northwestern Mutual, visit: www.northwesternmutual.comCheck out the movie Wall Street, mentioned in this episodeFollow Abim on LinkedInConnect with Northwestern Mutual on Social Media:LinkedIn  |  X  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  YouTubeWe want to hear from you!

Listen in and find out how to reclaim your time and energy!  

In this milestone 300th episode of the podcast, we reflect on the journey, the evolution of education, and the importance of community. We discuss the key trends in education that we shared at Uprising25, the need for a shift in assessment methods, and the concept of agency with guardrails to foster independent thinking in students. The conversation unapologetically focuses on the necessity of redefining the purpose of education to prepare learners for a complex world, advocating for a system that values diversity and creativity over compliance.Chapters00:00 Celebrating 300 Episodes10:31 Considered Disruption in Education19:05 Rethinking Assessment Models26:17 The Burden of Overloaded Curriculum28:55 Agency with Guardrails in Education32:40 Fostering Independent Thinkers36:11 Redefining the Purpose of Education39:19 The Need for Diversity in Learning44:15 Preparing for the Real World50:12 The Future of Education and Lifelong LearningCheck out the latest Trends Volume 3 bookletThanks so much for joining us again for another episode - we appreciate you.Ben & Steve xChampioning those who are making the future of education a reality.Join the Edufuturists Wolpack CommunityFollow us on XFollow us on LinkedInCheck out all about Edufuturists Want to sponsor future episodes or get involved with the Edufuturists work?Get in touch

Michael welcomes Dr. Jay Anders, Chief Medical Officer at Medicomp Systems to discuss AI hallucinations and their effect on patient safety and clinician trust.  

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Back in 1997 in Taipei they decided, as part of a celebration to do a massive game of tug of war. Let me ask you, how many of you were the kid that would let go of the rope when playing tug of war… Ha, just about every guy I know has done that. The people should have let go of the rope… That day they had 1,600 people join in the tug of rope. I can't even imagine that many people and how long the rope had to have been. Here's what I do know, that many people, tugging on one rope exerted 176,369 lbs of force on the rope… Here was the problem, no one thought to check how much force the rope 2” thick rope could actually handle, which was only 57,320 lbs. What happened was crazy. When all 1600 people began tugging all at once the rope severed and as it did, two men has their arms ripped from their bodies… It's not clear if the rope snapped back and severed the arms or if they were literally ripped off their bodies. Can you imagine standing there looking down at the ground and being like, “someone lost an arm” and then realizing it was you… Oh man, that's crazy! This morning we are going to begin to explore the tension that's created when we follow God by looking at the life and story of Abraham from scripture. I heard someone say once that Tension is not something you can typically get rid of, rather it's something you manage. my hope is to help you learn to manage the tension SCRIPTURE: Genesis 12:1-3 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you. 2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a] 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”[b] It would be easy for me to preach an inspirational sermon about hearing God, believing God, and following God. I could preach and get yall fired up and talking about how Abraham didn't hesitate, he just followed God and how through Abe God will bless all peoples, some day Jesus will come through his lineage and you will sit in this room today because this guy thousands of years ago left everything. And while that sermon would be good and true, it would miss something. Did you notice what Abe was going to have to leave behind to follow the call of God? b His country, his people, and his family If you've ever done something significant like moving away from a place you grew up in you know this wasn't a quick easy thing for Abe. I'm preaching for the silence right now, and we don't know for sure. But you do know that his country is the land he grew up in, it's knowing all the honey holes for fishing, and knowing the best places to hunt. It's all the culture and customs he's ever known. His country represents everything he's comfortable with. and his people? Abe is leaving his friends, he's leaving his neighbors, he's leaving his aunts and uncles and relatives. He's leaving free babysitting and help with sick animals, he's leaving all his community Leaving his people is leaving his community and friends behind. and then to leave his father's household. There's no phones, there's no facetime. Abe is literally saying, “I may never see you again” to the people who are closest to him. Leaving his father's household is going into the world alone. Look, it would be easy for me to make this seem easy, but following God is not easy, it's full of tension. It would be easy to hide the fact that Abe will take things into his own hands because things didn't happen the way he thought they should. It would be easy to hide the doubt his wife had or how she laughed at God or how God gave promises to her too to confirm what he called Abe to do. Following God is not always easy and clear cut. Jesus said it this way: John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. So, I was thinking. How do I help you make sense of this without overwhelming you. On one side I want you to start listening to God and being brave enough to follow Him into the generosity of giving your life away like Abraham did b On the other side, I want to make sure it's God you're listening to… b 2 Guardrails as you learn to follow God into the unknown: b 1. Start with what's clear. God has already called you to certain things, have you mastered those? Love your neighbor, Love your enemy forgive as He forgave you be generous etc. ILLUSTRATION: When our kids were little and wanted to learn to ride a bike, I learned pretty quickly they needed to learn to balance before they learned peddling. We'd take them to the top of the driveway and have them put their feet down and just let it coast down to the bottom and then go again till that was easy. I'm not saying God won't call you to big things when you are a new christian. But I am saying if you are not faithful in these, why would would he send you big things? b If you haven't learned to look at life through the Kingdom lens of “everything I have is on loan to me, so I can give it away,” then why would He give you more? b Most of what God calls us to is small, it's in the small that He learns if you are able to handle much. (Luke 12:48) 2. Following God should never be a battering ram to use against others ILLUSTRATION: we've all met the person who claims God has told them to do something, the worst cases are the people who say God told them something that manipulates you into having to do something for them. “God told me you are supposed to come help us…” Maybe…. Maybe he did… But Abraham's story wasn't that clear cut God revealed it to his wife too (Genesis 18:1-15) God spoke it multiple times to Abraham (Genesis (Genesis 12, 15, 17) b God may be a God who is hard to nail down, but He is not a God of chaos. b It's ok to take time to confirm what God is calling you to and to make sure you are listening to Him and not just following your emotions… CLOSING ILLUSTRATION: People today are still following God's call like Abraham did. They are still leaving everything they know and giving everything they have to follow Him. My wife and I have done it several times (moving to Kentucky from Kansas was one of those for us). I want to introduce you to a young couple who is taking a massive step. Listen to their story [PLAY VIDEO OF THE OTTS] ------------- Genesis 12:1-3 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you. 2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a] 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”[b] John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. Abraham is called out of a nation that he knew. A land, a people, all his friends. This may not seem like generosity, but let me tell you, generosity is the laying down of what you have to benefit another. Abraham is leaving everything he knows to bless the entire world. You and I are blessed because this man was faithful in what God called him to. Jesus will come through his line as a direct result of him being willing to follow God into this. God still calls people like this. My wife and I moved from KS to be here to minister at the call of God. Same with you, He's still looking for the faithful and to call you to something greater. The question is whether we will respond with generosity, lay down our life and our rights for the blessing of others. The secret is that in the laying down, God ends up blessing us as well… We'll see this in Abe. Interview or video with the Otts STUDY: It's easy to see Abram as some super human who this was easy for, but trapped in those words are lots of heartache, lots of stress, lots of questioning, etc.  "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you." Let's break it down.  Leave the people and customs you have always known - your country.  Leave the land, the way of life, the culture, leave it all... Leave your people - leave the friends you've grown up with, leave the ones you see at the well when you're watering your animals, leave it all. Leave your father's household.  Leave your family, walk away from those you love - no phone calls, no facetime, no returning.  Leave them and never see them again. this was not easy.  This was complete and utter trust - I wonder what Terrah said to Abe? "Son, this is not a smart move.." "Son, what are you going to do if you run out of food? or get attacked?  What will you do? The narrative that's easy to believe and that most of us believe is we are out there alone, but that's not true.  We forget God. We forget that He is moving and will move.   Following God is not an easy peasy thing, it's not straight forward and efficient like we think of efficiency.  following God is being willing to follow Him into the unknown. The tension Abe felt in following God was extreme.  It was not easy, it was a difficult thing.   Guardrails there are already things God has called you to do that are not special love your neighbor forgive be generous etc. Most things God calls us to are not massive - they are little things like, "hey, give that person some help" or "offer to watch their kids for free".  Jesus very clearly said that whoever is faithful in the little things will be given more This is not about baptizing your ideas and telling people it's from God.  Abe very much heard from God and God reconfirmed it multiple times, even with his wife Sarai having it confirmed to her.  This should never be a battering ram to another person.. What has God called you to be generous in that the tension of the unknown has kept you from being obedient? What's the worst thing that would happen if you listened to Him? Who do you need to invite into praying over this decision to make sure you are hearing from God (John says to test the spirits) ORDER: Starting generous tensions -looking at the tension of following God while still in the skin Abe and his call -would be easy to preach an inspirational sermon about following God -but thats not reality. What's hidden in these words are the nights spent deciding to follow God (the pain of separation from family, etc.) -what's hidden in that sermon is Abe doubting and not always listening to God, but taking things into his own hands - his wife laughing -what's hidden is that it was confirmed to his wife and when they finally saw the promise was YEARS later there is tension when following God - because God doesn't make things clean and cut perfect, He makes it wild and makes it where you need to stay close to Him, it's why we call it "following" So, practicals, what do you do if you feel God calling you to something big.. Guardrails there are already things God has called you to do that are not special love your neighbor forgive be generous etc. Most things God calls us to are not massive - they are little things like, "hey, give that person some help" or "offer to watch their kids for free".  Jesus very clearly said that whoever is faithful in the little things will be given more This is not about baptizing your ideas and telling people it's from God.  Abe very much heard from God and God reconfirmed it multiple times, even with his wife Sarai having it confirmed to her.  This should never be a battering ram to another person.. I want to introduce you to some friends who are following God in some big and scary ways... -introduce the Otts talk about their story...

Is there collusion in our field? Do we have elites running wild, making sure that their work gets published whilst the rest of us struggles to find room to publish our own work? And are we handling conflicts of interest that may exist between authors and the editors who are charged with making decisions about their work? These are serious questions. They target the core of our field, they have the potential to undermine – or bolster – the legitimacy of all our scholarship, and they pose serious material consequences for all scholars, their careers and ultimately their lives. We came across a new paper that reports an analysis of the potential conflict of interest issues in academic publishing, and we use this paper to reflect on our experiences as both authors and editors. We try to draw a few conclusions and recommendations about how we can raise awareness and build institutional trust to minimize if not avoid any questionable or outright unethical practices in publishing.

"You can try to develop self-awareness and take a beginner's mind in all things. This includes being open to feedback and truly listening, even when it might be hard to receive. I think that's been something I've really tried to practice. The other area is recognizing that just like a company or country, as humans we have many stakeholders. You may wear many hats in different ways. So as we think of the totality of your life over time, what's your portfolio of passions? How do you choose—as individuals, as society, as organizations, as humans and families with our loved ones and friends—to not just spend your time and resources, but really invest your time, resources, and spirit into areas, people, and contexts that bring you meaning and where you can build a legacy? So it's not so much advice, but more like a north star." - Sabastian V. Niles Fresh out of the studio, Sabastian Niles, President and Chief Legal Officer at Salesforce Global, joins us to explore how trust and responsibility shape the future of enterprise AI. He shares his journey from being a high-tech corporate lawyer and trusted advisor to leading AI governance at a company whose number one value is trust, reflecting on the evolution from automation to agentic AI that can reason, plan, and execute tasks alongside humans. Sabastian explains how Agentforce 3.0 enables agent-to-agent interactions and human-AI collaboration through command centers and robust guardrails. He highlights how organizations are leveraging trusted AI for personalized customer experiences, while Salesforce's Office of Ethical and Humane Use operationalizes trust through transparency, explainability, and auditability. Addressing the black box problem in AI, he emphasizes that guardrails provide confidence to move faster rather than creating barriers. Closing the conversation, Sabastian shares his vision on what great looks like for trusted agentic AI at scale.

In this episode, Kevin sits down with Vida Williams, Chief Data Officer at Stride, to explore the promise—and risks—of artificial intelligence in education. From personalized tutoring to curatorial learning, they dive into how AI is reshaping what it means to teach, learn, and build trust in a digital world. They discuss how AI can reduce teacher overload, personalize instruction, and expand access—but also unpack why how we build it matters as much as what we build. And in a world where machines are getting better at guiding student learning, they ask a fundamental question: What's the role of the human in the future of education? If education is a shared journey, should machines walk with us? This might be what you want to know.     What You'll Learn 01:30 – Why Vida left energy & healthcare to focus on education 03:00 – What a Chief Data Officer actually does in a K–12 company 05:00 – Why protecting student data is now non-negotiable 07:30 – AI's real use in classrooms: less grading, more learning 09:00 – “The resurgence of library science” and curatorial learning 11:30 – How personalized AI tutors support (not replace) teachers 13:00 – Socratic learning vs. automation: can AI do both? 16:00 – What young learners really want from AI 18:30 – Guardrails, dialects & equitable access in AI design 21:00 – Why teachers must shape the future of AI tools 25:00 – Are we all becoming cyborgs?

God gives us incredible gifts — but He also gives us guardrails to keep those gifts thriving. In this message, Pastor Jordan explores how spiritual gifts are meant to glorify Jesus, build the church, and help others.

Title: The Gracious Guardrail Series: CXIX - Lighting the Way Passage: Psalm 119:9-16 Speaker: Sam Cassese What keeps you from veering off course? How do we stay steady when the road is slick with temptation, distraction, and spiritual drift? The psalmist asks a hauntingly honest question: How can a young man keep his way pure? It's not just for the young—it's for all of us trying to walk with God without slipping. In this sermon, we explore the tension between wholehearted devotion and wandering hearts—and the surprising provision God gives to keep us on the path.
