The 11th in a Series on Ephesians

This week I share my conversation with Ashutosh Garg, founder of pioneering unicorn Eightfold. Eightfold was the first mainstream AI company focused on HR and recruiting, and as you'll hear Ashu continues to innovate in many ways. I ask Ashutosh to talk about the market, the change in the AI landscape, and his vision for the future of Eightfold and job seeking. He also explains his career and how he became so successful, and where his career has taken him with his digital twin company Viven.ai. (We use Viven and can attest to its enormous potential.) This convo should teach you a lot about the AI market and also give you career insights into one of the many entrepreneurs shaping our future. We have worked closely with Eightfold for many years and I find Ashutosh's career inspiring and filled with lessons for all of us.

Today I move beyond a discussion of AI products and technologies to the real business problem: finding ways to USE AI to further your company's particular, unique business strategy. There's a strange phenomenon going on: companies think AI itself will improve productivity “just because it exists.” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As these three examples point out, you should focus on “HOW” you're going to use AI to forward the strategy, not build a strategy around AI. As these tools become more common this will be clearer and clearer. And the AI vendors (particularly the big ones) are making us crazy with stories of AI “strategies” that feel generic and unachievable. I hope this helps you feel grounded and ready to focus in this crazy world of new tools, platforms, and vendors. I also want to invite you to the Transform conference in Vegas where we'll be talking about a new partnership we're starting with Leena.ai, a vendor that delivers a new generation of employee services by connecting tools like Galileo to more than 100 different applications and internal systems.

Today we are introducing the Mars release of Galileo®, the AI Superagent for HR. We're calling it a Superagent because it's now fully programmable, open to integration with Workday and other systems, and is even more intelligent with new models, new content, industry data, and exciting features for learning, content development, and orchestration. I explain what all this means in the podcast, so listen in. Galileo is now used by more than 1,100 companies so it's becoming the industry standard AI agent for HR, with lots of fans, new solutions, and features. And as a Superagent, Galileo can now coordinate user's needs across many back-end systems, through Sana's integration with Workday as well as Galileo for ServiceNow, which talks with 60+ corporate apps. The Galileo Suite includes Galileo Agent and Galileo Learn, and includes Galileo for Managers. Read about it in our press release here. Exciting launch video here. Get Galileo here!.

Terry James is a Christian prophecy author and commentator known for works such as Nephilim Imperatives, which examines biblical references to the Nephilim and their possible role within end-times theology. James explores scriptural passages, prophetic interpretation, and contemporary cultural trends to argue that ancient narratives about hybrid beings and spiritual conflict may have relevance to modern events and future prophetic fulfillment. His work blends biblical exegesis, theological speculation, and current-affairs analysis, encouraging readers to view world developments through a prophetic lens grounded in scripture.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

After many weeks of work with corporate HR leaders, technology companies, and implementation teams I'm realizing the word that describes AI is “confusion.” Too much going on, too many unanswered questions, and no clarity about what to do. And many of you have been asked (or told) to lead the “AI Transformation” (which is the wrong phrase, as I explain) to reduce cost. Well I hope today's podcast gives you some clarity. Obviously the space is changing quickly, but there is a clear strategy emerging. I discuss the technology market, vendor strategies, and most important of all, how you as a business leader can leverage AI without going down dead ends. I hope this gives you clarity, and I urge you to read our 2026 Imperatives for Enterprise AI for more. Topics covered: Why AI adoption isn't a transformation — it's a continuous learning process How to design an architecture that avoids vendor chaos and data silos The real ROI of AI: rethinking workflows and job structures, not just automating tasks Strategies for navigating a confusing vendor landscape and building your own solutions How to build a culture of trust and change, and empower employees What to tell employees so they'll lean in to change The importance of speed, experimentation, and trusting the data over perfection. If you're in the middle of your AI strategy, please contact us. Our Systemic HR AI Blueprint will show you the way, and Galileo will help you with vendor analysis, process design, job redesign, and of course the training you need to enable your organization.

In this podcast I talk with Nathan Perrott, VP of Innovation at Radancy. Radancy is a major provider of integrated recruiting tools, all integrated in what's called the Radancy Talent Acquisition Cloud. You may not recognize the name, but Radancy is actually one of the pioneers in talent acquisition, originally started as TMP Worldwide. Over the last 40 years the company has been involved in all aspects of technology-enabled recruitment, (including Monster.com), so they understand job advertising, social media, candidate experience, branding, automated screening, and now AI-powered interviewing. The company's integrated platform is one of the most end-to-end recruitment systems in the market (handles everything except the ATS) and more than 700 large corporations rely on Radancy. Nathan has been in this space for many years so I ask him to explain how the market has changed, what their new AI copilot is all about, and how companies can save money and get ahead of the massive AI-fueled candidate and job posting market today.

This week we launch our Imperatives for 2026, and I discuss the 11 top issues you face and how HR, as we know it, is going to radically change. Our research shows that 30-40% of today's HR roles will go away, soon to be automated by AI agents and Superagents. Read today's news release for more details. This podcast explains the transformative impact of enterprise AI on human resources, emphasizing the redefinition of HR roles, the emergence of super agents, and the future of work. It highlights the need for organizations to adapt to these changes by focusing on employee engagement and the development of super workers, ultimately leading to enhanced productivity and organizational growth. Major Messages AI is redefining what HR does and how it operates. We are in the early stages of a technology revolution with AI. AI can analyze unstructured data, making HR more strategic. The concept of superagents will change HR technology. Many HR roles will evolve rather than disappear due to AI. Employee engagement is at a low despite advancements in health and longevity. Organizations must continuously care for and support their employees. The workforce is becoming more independent and less tied to a single employer. AI will create opportunities for super workers who leverage technology effectively. Companies must rethink talent management to retain top talent. Your Personal Transformation Each of these 11 topics represent a learning opportunity for business and HR professionals. We've built an entire AI-powered learning experience and Supertutor in Galileo to help. We encourage you to get Galileo to dig in and apply these topics to your job, your company, and your career.

This week, as part of our 2026 Imperatives launch, I discuss the explosive new world of agents and superagents, and explain why and how you, as an HR or business person, will be “building apps” and “building agents” at work. I also explain why the Superagent architecture, which is explained in our Imperatives research, is going to replace traditional monolithic HR and other applications at a speedy rate. Yes, we're all going to be “Citizen Developers” and we won't necessarily need Vibe Coding apps to do this. Galileo is an app-builder today and the upcoming Mars release is going to take it even further. This important topic is a big and very important shift in your thinking about how you run HR and also how you select, purchase, and implement HR technology of all kinds. Listen in, join in our webinar next week, and get Galileo to learn more and get started. Galileo will show you how to start building solutions today. All this information and much more is part of our 2026 Imperatives and will be embedded into Galileo, so get Galileo and ask Galileo to give you specific examples of how you can apply AI to HR in your particular company.

As AI transforms our jobs, careers, and lives what happens to our sense of self? If an AI agent can do my job, what happens to me? In this podcast I discuss the topic of purpose, identity, and mission and how we, as human agents, can keep ourselves happy and purposeful as more and more of our work becomes automated. Yes, these tools are amazing to see and use, but what happens when the career we spent decades building no longer really exists? Reinventing yourself is scary but we all have to do it. In this podcast I discuss how profound this change is becoming and what you, as a leader or HR professional, can do to help.

In this high-octane season premiere of Being Brown at Work Live, I deliver a "no-sugarcoating" analysis of the current corporate landscape. Drawing on the newly released Lean In 2025 Women in the Workplace Report, I break down the sobering reality of the "crooked pathway" Black and Brown women are navigating today. This episode moves beyond simple motivation to provide a strategic survival and advancement guide for 2026. I explore the critical difference between mentorship and transformative sponsorship, sharing personal stories of how sponsors opened doors to board seats and executive education. Key Statistics Discussed: The Burden of Race: 1 in 3 Black women worry their race will hold them back, despite being among the most highly educated demographics in the U.S.. The Burnout Crisis: 8 out of 10 Black women in leadership report high levels of burnout due to increased scrutiny and the constant pressure to prove their value. The Corporate Priority Gap: Only 46% of companies view the advancement of women of color as a high priority, a double-digit drop from the general priority for women. The 5 Imperatives for Success in 2026: Environmental Awareness: "Call a thing a thing." Acknowledge the reality of your surroundings without taking on the burden of fixing others' discomfort. Foundational Self-Awareness: Use high Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to understand your unique persona and set non-negotiable boundaries. Strategic Community: Don't be an island. Seek out accountability partners and build a trust-based inner circle. Narrative Control: If you don't define your excellence and your story, the organization will do it for you—often to your detriment. Psychological Safety: Prioritize your peace. Protecting the "person who produces the excellence" is your most important job. I want to leave you with a powerful reminder: the rules may be different and the field may be uneven, but with clarity and a different approach, you can successfully shape a career that remains firmly in your own hands.   Join our free community! The AMA Collective   Ready to take control of your career and earn what you're truly worth? This episode is sponsored by the Salary Bump Accelerator.

We are entering the year of Enterprise AI, and one of the imperatives we're introducing is the need to think about your AI Architecture. While much of our AI journey has been focused on individual productivity tools, now we have a much bigger opportunity: using AI to rethink how our HR, talent, leadership, and human capital processes are designed. As you'll hear our new Systemic HR® AI Blueprint defines a new set of “Superagents” that help us think through the new workflow automations we can deploy. In this podcast I explain the new AI architecture for HR at a high level and give you a sense of the explosive vendor market, the role of “citizen developers,” and the business case and process for prioritizing where to focus. All this information and much more is part of our 2026 Imperatives launch and will be embedded into Galileo, so get Galileo and ask Galileo to apply these architectural issues to your HR department. Not only do we have massive opportunities to build a more integrated HR department, these new AI architectures enable our companies to scale, grow, and add customer value faster and more profitably than ever.

AI adoption is accelerating and it feels harder and harder to keep up. I know many senior leaders feel confused by the rapid pace and college grads are worried about their careers. What skills do we need to stay relevant in this new “All-AI” world? Well there's an answer to all this change, and it gets back to the five fundamental principles of your own professional learning. In this episode, I unpack the five fundamental things to “learn” as the AI world accelerates at a quickening pace. I do believe we're barely in the first inning of this bold new world, so it won't be your “skills” but rather your mindset, approach, and attitudes that keep you ahead and valued in the AI world ahead. Stay tuned for out big 2026 Imperatives launch on January 21 where we'll unpack the mandates for our companies and careers in the coming year.

Welcome to 2026, a year I coin “The Year of Enterprise AI.” As you'll read about (and hear about) in our 2026 Imperatives launch, the coming year is all about AI moving from “assistants” to “agents” to “solutions.” And there are three big considerations to ponder. First, the cost of AI is skyrocketing, so we're going to have to focus on high-value use-cases and business-specific solutions. That's not to say AI assistants and meeting summaries are not valuable, but once you start paying by the token you're going to want to go deeper. As we discuss in our new Systemic HR AI Framework, we're sitting on billions of dollars of real business opportunities now, and they go far beyond individual assistants. (We call these Superagents.) And the cost of AI will accelerate this focus. Second, the data center buildout, energy costs, and political issues with data centers will matter. For corporate users this means understanding the underlying “costs” of AI usage (creating a single high powered image uses as much as 25% of the battery in your phone). I point this out to make you aware that these AI chatbots are not “free” – there are acres of computing campuses being built behind the scenes. And that means your “software providers” are turning into capital intensive companies. (And a new industry of data center companies may take over.) (For those of you in the energy industry, it's a wild time – almost as exciting as I've seen since my early days as an energy engineer during the OPEC Arab Oil Embargo in the late 1970s.) Third is the fast-changing issue of AI's accuracy, trust, and voracious appetite for data. As I discuss, the real opportunity for corporate AI is to take this problem head-on, and focus on your company's data quality, governance, human feedback, and data labeling. The big AI labs are struggling to reduce the “Jaggedness” of AI (it's strange ability to be really good at some things and totally dumb about others), and that encourages us to focus on narrow, domain-specific AI applications. And we all need to learn about RLHF (reinforcement learning with human feedback). Our experience with Galileo proves that an AI solution that focuses on a vertical domain can be infinitely more reliable and intelligent than a general purpose AI. But don't let me argue with Sam Altman, you'll have to figure this out yourself :-). We are launching our 2026 Imperatives research the third week of January, and there will be a special release of Galileo to accompany all the study. Our goal is not to give you a bunch of pithy predictions, but rather to give you a dozen hard-hitting “Must Do's” for the year ahead. I look forward to talking with many of your this coming year as we travel around the world, join us in January for the launch of our 2026 Imperatives research.

In this podcast I reflect on five big things we didn't talk about much this year, and each falling into the “Human Capital” agenda. We spent much of our year worrying about AI, agents, productivity, and jobs, largely putting the “Human Capital” agenda on the back burner. While AI is certainly the defining technology of our times, there are human capital issues to consider. As I discuss, these “soft” issues help us address the “socio-technological” impacts of AI. There's no question that AI is amazing and it will change our lives. As business people, however, we need to remind ourselves of the human capital issues that matter too. PS: The impact of AI on the job market is already taking a toll. Younger workers are now experiencing much higher unemployment rate than tenured workers, largely because companies believe AI can replace apprenticeships. I'm not a fan of this strategy but you can listen to this analysis to understand. Our big 2026 Imperatives report comes out in January, stay tuned.

Today I discuss the leadership theme of Arrogance vs. Humility. It's a big topic and covers many parts of a company's cycle of growth and variations in styles of leadership. Without judgement, I wanted to discuss the topic in this era of massive AI investment, huge bets on the future, and many ongoing layoffs. There are good reasons for arrogance and it also has its problems, so I decided to share my thoughts. I also discuss our upcoming 2026 Imperatives research coming in January and give you some insights on the new features in Galileo to help transform the way we assess, coach, and develop our leaders. (And we're all leaders now.)

This week, Claire speaks with 3 individuals from other advocacy organizations we work closely with to learn about where the 2025 legislative imperatives currently stand.

In this episode of the Outlaw God, Caleb Keith and Dr. Stephen Paulson dive into the theological debate between Martin Luther and Erasmus, focusing on the concepts of free will, the interpretation of scripture, and the significance of grammar in understanding faith. They explore Luther's critique of Erasmus's views on free will and the importance of distinguishing between indicatives and imperatives in scripture. The conversation emphasizes the certainty of faith and the promise of repentance as opposed to mere commands, ultimately highlighting the transformative power of God's word. This episode was recorded live from Here We Still Stand 2025 coference.

“It started out by doing a kind of a white paper that we called Imperatives for Quality Cancer Care. Ellen Stovall, our CEO [of the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship] at the time, gave this report to Dr. Richard Klausner, who was the head of National Cancer Institute at the time. He called Ellen immediately and said, ‘Why are we not doing something about this?' Within one year, we had the Office of Cancer Survivorship at NCI,” ONS member Susan Leigh, BSN, RN, told ONS member Ruth Van Gerpen, MS, RN-BC, APRN-CNS, AOCNS®, PMGT-BC, member of the ONS 50th anniversary committee, during a conversation about her involvement in cancer survivorship advocacy. Van Gerpen also spoke with ONS members Deborah Mayer, PhD, RN, AOCN®, FAAN, and Timiya S. Nolan, PhD, APRN-CNP, ANP-BC, about the history and future of cancer survivorship.

Highlights From This Episode Leigh: “Another way that [National Coalition of Cancer Survivorship] got very involved with looking at how we keep this information coming and how we really share care with our outside physicians is the development of survivorship care plans. And then we also hoped that we would see more survivorship clinics by now. But between trying to get people to develop care plans and clinics, it's been like pulling teeth. It has been very difficult. And a lot of this struggle to get this going has been, first of all, there isn't enough money to do this. There isn't enough time for immediate staff to take these on, and we just don't have enough staff as it is now. And survivorship is not a moneymaker, so it's just something that has to be done kind of on the side.” TS 11:54 Mayer: “When I became ONS president in the '80s—I was the fourth ONS president—we were given a cancer grant to do something with our presidency. And that was when I really wanted to bring attention to rehabilitation as a means to address cancer survivorship issues because we had a very ‘treat 'em and street 'em' attitude. We gave you your treatment, and we sent you home, and you had to figure out the rest. And there wasn't a lot of knowledge or support to help you put your life back together again afterwards. And so in that process, it was an interdisciplinary group of professionals that tried to come up with what was an appropriate position statement because ONS was just starting to do position statements. And so we developed a first position statement on cancer rehabilitation to address survivorship issues in like 1987 to '89.” TS 17:15 Mayer: “When I went back to school for my PhD, I did my dissertation on health behaviors of cancer survivors and realizing the huge gap in the care that they were getting for anything other than their cancer. We were still focused on their tumor and on treating their tumor. But we were missing the picture that if the cancer didn't kill them, their heart disease would, and they would develop diabetes and other things. … But as people started living longer and longer, we were missing all these other chronic illnesses that would contribute to their quality of life and overall lifespan. So my dissertation put me on a different path, and I think the second part of my career was really focusing on instead of just relieving suffering and the quality of life issues, really looking at cancer care delivery and how we could do a better job of doing the team of teams that people needed to have their issues addressed.” TS 19:34 Nolan: “I ended up having my first permanent role on a hematology-oncology unit at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. And there, I literally saw patients who were fighting for their lives. And despite the severity of their illness, they wanted more than just survival. They wanted to have meaning. They wanted to have dignity. They wanted to have impact with the time that they had left, whatever it was. And so those experiences planted a seed in me. And that seed was that cancer care must extend beyond treatment and we need to embrace, really, quality of life.” TS 23:31 Leigh: “I was not the researcher. I was not the major writer. I was not the identifier of a lot of the risk factors. But I spread the seed. I took all that information from different sources and shared that with all of the audiences that I spoke to. So I was called a seed spreader, kind of the Johnny Appleseed of oncology nursing at that particular time. And then once we saw academia step in and say, ‘We need to get good data about what's going on here,' … then my stories and stories from survivors started decreasing and the presentations were given more from the academic standpoint.” TS 34:41 Nolan: “I really believe in community, academic, government, and industry approaches to survivorship as well. We can no longer operate in silos. We really need to learn how to walk across the aisle, build bridges as we can so that we can do this work together because we know that communities bring lived wisdom and context. And academicians bring the research and the ability to create the evidence. The government brings policy and public health infrastructure, and certainly industry brings innovation and scalability. But also in this new paradigm that we find ourselves in, the industry may also bring the dollars to be able to help us to do even more work.” TS 43:45

Once we realize the truth of the monergistic gospel — it wakes us up to the profound reality that God has called us into being for a purpose. Yet we still experience choices and have a will, so how does it all work? This is the mystery of faith, or how I like to call it: The Dance of Life. * 00:00 - Introduction* 14:20 - The Dance of Life in the New Testament* 32:35 - Imperatives in the New Testament* 2:28:37 - Primary & Secondary Causes* 2:36:44 - Confirming Your Election* 3:08:47 - Action as a Product of Relationship* 3:50:23 - Doing & Being* 3:56:04 - God Engaging in Reality* 4:07:30 - God's Irresistible Grace* 4:15:15 - Predestination & Participation* 4:33:44 - False Converts* 4:44:15 - Enduring to the End: The Test of Salvation* 5:08:08 - CHALLENGE: God's Interactions * 5:35:54 - The Mystery of Joy* 5:47:28 - The Dance of Life* 6:01:47 - Liberty of Conscience This is a public episode.

The gospel's indicatives—all that God has done for us in Christ—are always the basis for our Christian imperatives—the ways we respond in faith and obedience. Today, Sinclair Ferguson warns against reversing this relationship.
