In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross dives into the practical, strategic use of artificial intelligence (AI) in content creation. He addresses a common fear among creators: that AI-generated material lacks originality and authenticity. Ross argues that when used correctly, AI doesn't replace the human voice—it amplifies it.

Harness co-founder Jyoti Bansal highlights a growing issue in software development: while AI tools help generate more code, they often create bottlenecks further along the pipeline, especially in testing, deployment, and compliance. Since its 2017 launch, Harness has aimed to streamline these stages using AI and machine learning. With the rise of large language models (LLMs), the company shifted toward agentic AI, introducing a library of specialized agents—like DevOps, SRE, AppSec, and FinOps agents—that operate behind a unified interface called Harness AI. These agents assist in building production pipelines, not deploying code directly, ensuring human oversight remains critical for compliance and security.Bansal emphasizes that AI in development isn't replacing people but accelerating workflows to meet tighter timelines. He also notes strong enterprise adoption, with even large, traditionally slower-moving organizations embracing AI integration. On the topic of an AI bubble, Bansal sees it as a natural part of innovation, akin to the Dotcom era, where market excitement can still lead to meaningful long-term transformation despite short-term volatility.

This episode tackles the often-overlooked but critical topic of medical device reimbursement. Host Etienne Nichols speaks with Haley King, co-founder and CEO of Paxos Health, about why this process is just as vital as FDA approval for a device's commercial success. They explore the journey a medical device takes, highlighting the distinction between FDA approval and securing reimbursement from payers.Haley explains the three key pillars of reimbursement: coding, coverage, and payment. She delves into the complexities of CPT codes and the significant difference between a temporary Category 3 code and the gold-standard Category 1. The discussion also covers the immense challenges medical device companies face, including the lengthy timeline—sometimes years—to secure payer coverage, which can be a make-or-break factor for startups. The conversation wraps up with a look at how artificial intelligence is beginning to streamline the cumbersome, manual process of patient access and appeals.Key Timestamps1:45 - The initial challenge of making coverage match medical need.3:30 - The three-part reimbursement pathway: coding, coverage, and payment.5:50 - Navigating CPT codes and the difference between Category 1 and Category 3.10:15 - Common challenges for medical device companies seeking payer coverage.13:20 - The multi-year timeline to achieve Medicare coverage for innovative devices.15:00 - Advice for regulatory and quality professionals on speeding up reimbursement.20:10 - How AI is currently being used in patient access and reimbursement.24:45 - Debating the accuracy of AI and its role in replacing human expertise.Quotes"A lot of times patients are not going to be able to pay out of pocket for expensive medical treatments, and a lot of times providers are not going to be able to write off those treatments on their side. So somebody needs to pay for this. And that's usually the health insurance companies..." — Haley King"I think that for this sort of a use case [AI], you're always going to want some human in the loop... AI has the potential to be super, super powerful in this space, but I think you're always going to want to have human experts involved." — Haley KingTakeawaysIntegrate reimbursement strategy early: Unlike FDA approval, which focuses on safety and efficacy, payers also demand evidence of a device's clinical and economic value. Medical device companies, particularly startups, should integrate reimbursement planning into their pitch decks and product development timelines from the outset.Recognize the two-step process: FDA approval is not a golden ticket to reimbursement. Companies must understand the subsequent and often lengthy process of securing coding, coverage, and payment from payers like CMS and private insurance companies, which can take several years.Enhance clinical trials for payers: Regulatory and quality professionals can speed up the reimbursement process by designing clinical trials that not only meet FDA requirements but also generate robust data to prove a device's clinical and economic value. This may involve including additional endpoints to justify the cost.Harness AI for efficiency, not replacement: AI is a powerful tool for automating the tedious parts of reimbursement, such as sifting through patient records and payer policies. However, it should be viewed as a way to enhance, not replace, the work of human experts who can handle complex edge cases and appeals.Be aware of coding complexities: The distinction...

Firms that prioritize outcomes over hours are better positioned to innovate, retain clients, and empower teams.By Rory Henry CFP®, BFA™For CPA TrendlinesOn the latest episode of The Holistic Guide to Wealth Management, Loren Fogelman, founder of Business Success Solutions, and Mike Maksymiw, CPA, Executive Director of Aprio Firm Alliance, share strategies for firm growth, profitability, and sustainability. Their discussion covers value-based pricing, client relationships, team culture, leadership authenticity, and the role of technology in shaping the accounting profession's future. MORE Rory Henry and The Holistic Guide to Wealth Management BUY the Holistic Guide to Wealth Management Fogelman argues that firms often avoid raising rates out of fear of alienating long-time clients, but that reluctance undervalues their services. She stresses that a structured approach to rate increases allows firms to retain most clients while improving profitability.The first step, she explains, is identifying which clients are profitable and which ones drain resources. By focusing on “what's behind the money,” firms can better understand client goals and position themselves as consultants rather than technicians.

Dell Technologies has today announced that it has teamed up with the Crann Centre, a Cork-based charity, to develop an AI-powered solution that enhances care for children, adults and families living with neuro-physical disabilities. This collaboration has resulted in the development of a bespoke AI-powered intake application that reduces the administrative burden on Crann staff, streamlines intake processes, and enhances organisational efficiencies and service delivery. The collaboration began as a local volunteering connection, and it has since evolved into a relationship that harnesses the power of AI to support how care is delivered to families living with neuro-physical disabilities. Dell Technologies' Global Presales team worked closely with Crann to streamline their intake process, reducing processing time by 33%, enhancing data capture, and improving the overall experience for families. The solution has transformed how Crann performs its client intake appointments, improving the consistency and quality of data captured. The final step, currently in progress, will be the full integration of the app with Crann's Salesforce system to ensure a single and reliable data source. With fewer administrative burdens, the Crann team can now devote more time to delivering personalised support, strengthening relationships, and improving care outcomes. This collaboration is a testament to how AI can be used for societal good, increasing Crann's capacity to serve more families without requiring additional resources. Speaking about the collaboration Des O'Sullivan, Vice President, Dell Technologies Customer Solution Centres said "At Dell Technologies, we believe innovation truly matters when it drives meaningful change in people's lives. Through a shared commitment of making a difference, our team at Dell Technologies collaborated with Crann to develop an AI-powered solution keeping in mind Crann's deep-rooted commitment to family-centred wraparound care. "With the AI-powered solution that our team helped to create, Crann has increased capacity, allowing them to serve more families than requiring additional resources. The benefits extend far beyond efficiency; Crann team members now have the time and space to focus on deep, meaningful interactions with clients and their families, strengthening emotional and practical support. "As we look to the future, we're proud of what has been achieved. Our Dell Technologies team in Ireland and our broader Global Presales team has been at the heart of this journey, bringing Dell's AI innovation to life in a way that delivers real and lasting value to our community partners." The Dell-built solution is designed with future scalability in mind, offering a framework that can be adapted across sectors such as education and customer service. Crann, which offers wraparound services focused on improving independence and wellbeing, now has increased capacity to deliver support that spans generations underpinned by a shared commitment to personalised care and innovation.

The IMI (Irish Management Institute) has published new research highlighting a significant digital readiness gap among Ireland's leadership. Just 5% of decision makers surveyed have the skills to fully harness the potential of AI and other digital innovations, while more than 4 in 10 (44%) report having little to no knowledge of how to strategically deploy AI within their organisation. As regulatory pressure intensifies and cyber threats become more sophisticated, the research also reveals that just 4% of leaders express high levels of confidence in their capacity to protect and enhance organisational cybersecurity. Meanwhile, 42% report having limited knowledge and expertise on how to strengthen their organisation's cyber controls. The IMI Leadership Barometer surveyed 459 senior leaders from private, public, and semi-state organisations across Ireland, providing key insights into the attitudes and capabilities of decision makers navigating a complex business environment shaped by economic and geopolitical disruption. As leaders respond to the threat of potential trade tariffs and ongoing volatility, 1 in 3 (33%) decision makers say they are confident about their capacity to successfully steer their organisation through this period of disruption and achieve key business objectives. Conversely, 8% say they are not confident in their ability to navigate the volatility ahead. The findings also reveal that nearly half (45%) of decision makers report gaps in financial leadership capabilities, including managing investments and maximising growth. Just 7% of leaders report having excellent financial skills that can unlock business growth. Despite these challenges, the research highlights strength in leadership around culture and inclusion. A majority of leaders (62%) report having a high level of awareness and understanding of how to foster diversity and inclusion in their workplace - an encouraging signal amid global rollbacks in this space. Commenting on the release of the IMI Barometer, Shane O'Sullivan, CEO of the IMI, said: "As organisations across Ireland face unprecedented economic and geopolitical volatility, decision makers are tasked with leading through this disruption while ensuring their business is fit for the future. Published today, the IMI Leadership Barometer provides a timely insight into the capabilities of Irish business leaders to respond to these challenges and seize new opportunities for growth. "Despite the complexity of this environment, it's clear from our findings that many leaders are navigating this evolving landscape with resilience and a measured degree of confidence. From the Covid-19 pandemic to the Brexit crisis and supply chain challenges, decision makers in Ireland have learned from their experience leading their organisations through considerable turbulence in recent years and have developed the skills to successfully adapt, and grow, in this new era of volatility. "However, significant hurdles remain ahead. From keeping pace with advances in AI to enhancing financial leadership skills, our findings identify a number of weaknesses in current leadership capabilities. Addressing these gaps will be crucial to ensuring leaders are equipped with the key capabilities to navigate the change ahead and drive the future growth and competitiveness of business in Ireland." For more on the future of leadership and the key capabilities necessary to drive growth and innovation over the coming years, explore the IMI's white paper 'Why Learning Today Can Shape Tomorrow' here.

Not every agency owner can afford 1-2-1 coaching and most agencies don't have the budget to provide every team member with a mentor. But what if you could have a virtual coach available 24/7 to guide your agency? A digital assistant that operates like your own personal agency expert, dishing out expert advice tailored specifically for your business? Or what if you could create your own AI knowledge base to support your team or become the first line of customer support?
