In the years following the pandemic, the U.S. saw a historic surge in small business creation—a promising sign of entrepreneurial spirit and economic resilience. Yet, if historical trends continue, nearly half of these new businesses will fail within five years. Small businesses in rural communities face even steeper challenges, from lack of access to capital to limited digital tools and networks. And yet, the promise of small businesses is immense: they are powerful engines for economic mobility, creating pathways for families and individuals to build lasting financial stability and opportunity.We invited Jonathan Fantini-Porter, Senior Vice President for the Americas at the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, to talk about how the Center is working to change the trajectory for small business owners through Mastercard Strive USA. This bold initiative aims to unlock $50 billion in lending capital, reach five million small businesses, and strengthen ecosystems that enable them to thrive. With more than $46 billion in capital already unlocked and millions of businesses reached, Mastercard Strive USA is proving that when small businesses grow, communities grow with them.Listen for insights on:Designing scalable, systems-level solutions that align with business strategyThe power of data, technology, and AI in advancing inclusive economic developmentAdvice for early-career professionals seeking to grow in social impact and corporate sustainability rolesResources + Links:Jonathan Fantini-Porter's LinkedInMastercard Center for Inclusive GrowthMastercard Strive USA (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Mastercard (01:23) - Jonathan's Background (03:05) - Moving to Mastercard (04:40) - Lessons from Parents (08:05) - Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth (09:54) - Setting the Goal (12:12) - Strive USA (14:52) - Rural America (17:23) - Small Businesses (19:19) - Integrating AI (22:22) - Advice (25:24) - Last Words (29:00) - Wrap Up

We're joined by John Fallon, former CEO of Pearson PLC, who led its transformation from a 175-year-old publisher to a global digital learning company. Now an author and academic, John shares insights from his new book, “Resurgent,” on how established companies can thrive amidst disruption by leaning into their core strengths while learning to be agile. He argues that a strong, unifying sense of purpose is the most critical factor in navigating the immense challenges of change.John asserts that the “transformation” aspect of digital change is far harder than the “digital” part itself. He describes the core leadership challenge as bridging the gap between exponential technological progress and the linear way humans adapt. Success requires making change tangible and near-term, and he reframes middle managers not as a “permafrost” layer blocking change, but as the organization's essential “shock absorbers” who translate strategy and manage the associated anxiety.Looking ahead, John provides practical advice, from using AI as a tool to create a powerful “first draft” that human creativity can then elevate, to having the patience required for a journey that often takes over a decade. He explains that leaders must protect small, innovative initiatives with non-financial KPIs and foster a culture of continuous change, recognizing that in the modern era, you are either busy being born or busy dying.→ John's new book "Resurgent: How Established Organizations Can Fight Back and Thrive in an Age of Digital Transformation"
What if the technology that's keeping you up at night could actually become your biggest competitive advantage? Here's what's happening right now: Business owners everywhere are watching AI generate content, create designs, and handle tasks that used to require human expertise. The fear is real because the question feels existential – if your clients can do this themselves, what happens to your value? But what if you're looking at this completely backwards? What if AI doesn't replace human expertise – what if it makes the right kind of expertise absolutely indispensable? That's exactly what our guest discovered when he conducted a fascinating experiment. Robert Capps tried to write an entire New York Times Magazine article using AI. The result was polished, engaging, and would have fooled most readers. But here's the twist – he didn't publish it. Instead, he wrote one of the most important pieces about the future of work that I've read all year, and it reveals why human judgment just became more valuable, not less. Robert brings a unique perspective to this conversation because he's lived at the intersection of technology and creativity for over a decade. As the former Editorial Director of WIRED magazine, he guided the publication to 21 National Magazine Award nominations with eight wins. He's overseen special issues guest-edited by Christopher Nolan, Serena Williams, and Barack Obama. Now, as a writer whose work appears in The New York Times Magazine, Robert is conducting real-world experiments with AI that reveal insights every business leader needs to hear. The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Robert Capps about: ✨ Responsibility Advantage: AI can create content, but only humans can take responsibility for strategic decisions and client outcomes. ✨ Taste Over Tech: When everyone has access to the same AI tools, your ability to make creative choices becomes your primary competitive advantage. ✨ Integration Opportunity: Position your agency as the bridge between AI capabilities and client business needs, becoming indispensable through expert curation.

Kirsten Graham is a virtual assistant (VA) and outsourcing expert who helps business owners reclaim their time, boost productivity, and scale smart—primarily through leveraging overseas talent. With a background in real estate, mortgages, and entrepreneurship, Kirsten is passionate about teaching entrepreneurs and professionals how to delegate low-value tasks, streamline their operations, and focus on high-impact activities. As co-founder of Six Figure Business Coaching, she helps her clients move from invisibility to visibility through video marketing, podcast guesting, and skilled virtual support. On this episode we talk about: Kirsten's first dollar earned through babysitting and her early journey into entrepreneurship Moving from real estate and mortgage to running a business that connects clients with remote talent worldwide Why hiring VAs for $6–$8 an hour can transform a business's profitability and owner's freedom The importance of hiring for very specific tasks rather than seeking a “unicorn” VA who does everything How treating remote team members with respect, paid time off, and long-term opportunities leads to retention and success The step-by-step model her company uses: interviewing, hiring, vetting, and training VAs for real estate, coaches, and service businesses Business models in the VA/outsource space: agency-style vs. direct-hire, margin differences, scalability, and how to choose a right-fit path The power of niching down (e.g., offering HighLevel-trained VAs or bookkeeping-specific VAs) and how to grow from a narrow offer Integrating AI: how today's VAs must be AI-fluent and how business owners can multiply efficiency by combining VAs and automation Why “boring” service businesses—like bookkeeping, HVAC, plumbing—are among the most reliable, profitable, and least likely to be automated by AI Buying, not just starting, a business: opportunities in acquiring already-running companies and upgrading them through outsourcing and systems Top 3 Takeaways Outsource for Freedom and Profit: Move all $6–$8/hour tasks off your plate; focus on what grows your business, not what just keeps it running. Niche, Train, and Systematize: Specialize your offer (e.g., marketing VAs, bookkeeping VAs, software-specific VAs) and use robust SOPs and ongoing training for client satisfaction and scale. Combine Talent, AI, and Acquisition: The biggest wins come from integrating skilled remote talent with AI-powered automations—whether you're starting from scratch or buying a business to modernize. Notable Quotes “If you're doing a $6 an hour task, you're doing it wrong. You should have someone else doing those tasks for you.” “It's easier to hire someone and keep them for years than to constantly replace people. Treat your VAs well—they're your team.” “Boring, unsexy businesses—like HVAC, bookkeeping, auto repair—are not going to be replaced by AI anytime soon, but they're always going to be profitable and needed.” Connect with Kirsten Graham: Website: sixfigurebusinesscoaching.com

From his early experiments with ChatGPT to building custom GPTs that handle social media and support—Jonathan doesn't just talk tech. He uses it, daily.

It's about leverage. You'll hear how Jonathan stays human in a world of automation, how he protects his brand voice, and why authenticity matters more than ever in the age of deepfakes and algorithmic content.

Add your email id here to get this directly to your inbox.Do subscribe to show Minimalist Techie over Apple Or Spotify Or YouTube podcast (Click on Hyperlinks for Apple Or on Spotify Or on YouTube) or hear it over email you received through my subscription or on my website.This weekly newsletter is mostly about the article, books, videos etc. I read or watch or my views on different topics which revolves around my head during the week.Point discussed in this Podcast,Microsoft: The Quiet Giant's ResurgenceKey Growth Drivers:* Cloud Dominance with Azure * Enterprise Software Powerhouse * Strategic Acquisitions: Acquisitions like LinkedIn and, more recently, the massive acquisition of Activision Blizzard, have diversified Microsoft's revenue streams and expanded its reach into new sectors like professional networking and gaming. The gaming division, encompassing Xbox and Game Pass, is a significant part of its ecosystem.* Early AI Integration: Microsoft was quick to invest heavily in AI, particularly through its partnership with OpenAI. This foresight allowed them to rapidly integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities into their existing product suite, from Azure AI services for developers to AI-powered features in Office (like Copilot) and Windows. This early move positioned them as a leader in the generative AI race, attracting new enterprise clients eager to leverage these new tools.This consistent execution and strategic vision have been key to Microsoft's impressive stock performance and market capitalization growth over the past half-decade. They've effectively shed any lingering perceptions of being a "legacy tech" company and firmly cemented their position as an innovation leader.Google (Alphabet): AI's Grand Ambition and Search's EvolutionAI's Ascendance with Gemini:* Catching Up Fast: While some might argue Google started a bit later in the generative AI race compared to certain competitors, their speed of development and integration with Gemini AI has been truly remarkable. Gemini is now a seriously impressive large language model, and its capabilities are expanding rapidly.* Unmatched Reach for AI Integration: What gives Google an almost unfair advantage is its massive market share and user base across its core products. Think about it: Google Search, Android, Chrome, YouTube, Google Workspace – these are platforms used by billions. Integrating AI, specifically Gemini, into these widely adopted products means AI features can reach an unprecedented number of people quickly and seamlessly. This integration isn't just about search; it's about enhancing productivity in Docs, creating content in YouTube, and smart features across Android devices.The Search Conundrum and AI's Role:* Search Revenue Dominance: Google Search has historically been, and remains, the primary engine of Alphabet's revenue, primarily through advertising. The concern for some analysts has been that as users increasingly turn to AI chatbots for answers, the traditional "blue link" search model might see reduced engagement, potentially impacting ad revenue.* The AI Mode and Future of Search: However, Google isn't sitting still. They've already integrated "AI Overviews" (or "AI mode") directly into Google Search results, providing synthesized answers directly. The challenge, and the opportunity, is to evolve Search in a way that provides instant, AI-powered information while still maintaining a valuable advertising ecosystem. If Google can swiftly adapt its advertising models to this new AI-first search paradigm, their extensive reach could turn this potential threat into a massive growth driver. The rapid progress with Gemini suggests they are indeed acting quickly to address this.* Cloud Growth (Google Cloud Platform): Similar to Microsoft and Amazon, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a significant and growing part of Alphabet's business, competing for enterprise cloud workloads and contributing to diversification beyond advertising.So, while there are always questions around how AI will reshape traditional revenue streams, Google's aggressive AI development with Gemini and its unparalleled user base position it strongly for future innovation and monetization.Amazon: E-commerce King and Cloud PowerhouseMoving on to Amazon, a company that, like the others, continues to perform exceptionally well. Amazon is a fascinating duality: it's the undisputed king of e-commerce, but also a dominant force in cloud computing.E-commerce Resilience:* Consumer Spending: Despite economic fluctuations, Amazon's e-commerce platform continues to thrive. It benefits from habitual consumer behavior, its vast selection, competitive pricing, and unparalleled logistics network (Prime shipping being a huge draw).* Advertising Growth: Increasingly, Amazon's e-commerce platform is also a major advertising hub, allowing brands to reach consumers directly at the point of purchase. This is a high-margin business that continues to grow rapidly.Amazon Web Services (AWS) - The Profit Engine:* Cloud Market Leader: AWS remains the global leader in cloud infrastructure services. Its reliability, extensive suite of services, and deep integration with countless businesses make it incredibly sticky. AWS consistently accounts for a disproportionate share of Amazon's overall profitability, subsidizing and fueling other ventures.* AI for Enterprise: AWS is also a key player in providing AI tools and infrastructure for businesses. From foundational models to machine learning services, AWS enables countless companies to build and deploy their own AI solutions, ensuring Amazon's role in the AI revolution extends far beyond its own consumer products.New Ventures:* Logistics and Delivery Network: Amazon's continuous investment in its own logistics infrastructure gives it a massive competitive advantage, enabling faster and more reliable deliveries.* Healthcare (Amazon Pharmacy, One Medical): Amazon continues to make inroads into the healthcare sector, leveraging its logistical prowess and customer-centric approach to disrupt traditional models.* Entertainment (Prime Video, Amazon Music): These services enhance the Prime subscription value, creating a sticky ecosystem that keeps users engaged within Amazon's orbit.Amazon's strength lies in its ability to innovate and expand into new sectors while maintaining dominance in its core businesses. Its cloud services provide a robust financial backbone, allowing it to take calculated risks and continue its relentless pursuit of market expansion.Each of these companies faces unique challenges and possesses distinct advantages. But what's clear is their relentless pursuit of innovation, their massive scale, and their profound impact on how we live and work. Watching their strategies unfold, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence and new computing paradigms, will be fascinating in the years to come.That is all for this week.

In this riveting episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, hosts Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams invite powerhouse guest Ted Horton. Together, they delve into the transformative potential of generative artificial intelligence in the automotive sales industry. "What if you could do this in minutes instead of spending a month creating 1,000 videos?" - Ted Horton The conversation demonstrates how AI technology, particularly generative AI, can be seamlessly integrated to promote efficiency, optimize customer interactions, and ultimately drive sales. With a focus on utilizing generative AI for creating personalized video content, this episode decodes how businesses can leverage automated, customized communications to elevate their competitive edge. "People prefer video... Video increases read open rates, increases engagements, increases appointments, and increases shows." - Sean V. Bradley The central theme of this episode revolves around harnessing AI to augment dealership operations, particularly through personalized video messaging. By automating these communications, dealerships can maintain engagement with prospects and customers alike, enhancing deal velocity and building stronger relationships. "Video bridges the gap between information and emotion. It's no longer about pushing products. It's about building relationships." - Sean V. Bradley The discussion introduces Dealer Synergy AI powered by Gan AI, a robust partnership aimed at delivering this advanced technology to dealerships, emphasizing the significant gains in both customer satisfaction and sales figures. Tune in to explore the nuances of implementing such technology and hear firsthand success stories from industry leaders. Key Takeaways: ✅ Generative AI is revolutionizing automotive sales by automating and personalizing customer engagement through videos. ✅ Video communication vastly outperforms text and static mediums in customer interactions, which is crucial for dealerships looking to stand out in a crowded marketplace. ✅ Integrating AI with CRMs can create an omnipresent response system that elevates sales and enhances customer satisfaction. ✅ Language barriers are no longer an obstacle, as AI can generate personalized communication in multiple languages efficiently. ✅ Dealer Synergy AI offers a white-glove service that ensures seamless integration and operation of AI tools within existing dealership systems. About Ted Horton Ted Horton is an accomplished executive specializing in enterprise-level sales with a focus on Fortune 100 and 500 corporations. With over 30 years of experience, Ted has been instrumental in advancing sales strategies and integrating cutting-edge technology within the corporate environment. He is a former executive with BombBomb, and currently holds a senior executive role at Gan AI, an innovative company leading the charge in generative artificial intelligence. The Future of Automotive Sales: Embracing The Generative AI Revolution Key Takeaways: Generative AI as a Game Changer: Video isn't just the future; it's the standard for engaging the modern car buyer with AI-driven personalized video communications. Automation and Personalization Synergy: Combining AI with CRM systems ensures personalized, consistent follow-ups, hitting the sweet spot of automation and human touch. Unparalleled Competitive Edge: Embracing Generative AI technology in a dealership's arsenal is pivotal in creating an unfair competitive advantage, significantly increasing customer engagement and sales volumes. The automotive industry isn't just turning a corner with technological innovations; it's racing down a highway of revolutionary change. At the forefront of this transformation is Generative AI, a breakthrough poised to redefine how dealerships engage with customers. As highlighted in the lively discussion from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, Ted Horton of GAN AI and Sean V. Bradley unveil the profound impact of AI-driven video content on dealership operations, painting a future where AI doesn't replace human effort— it amplifies it. In this comprehensive exploration, we dive deep into how Generative AI is reshaping the automotive sales landscape, emphasizing its strategic integration for maximized value and efficiency. Generative AI: Reimagining Customer Engagement In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, video content is no longer an option but an imperative. "The ability to record these avatars and have them automatically generated real time within seconds…accelerates deal velocity," Ted Horton emphasizes, illustrating the profound capabilities of Generative AI in dealership processes. By leveraging AI to create personalized, dynamic videos instantaneously, dealerships meet customers' growing expectations for immediacy and personalization, creating stronger connections and more profound engagement. Automated AI videos can now incorporate customer-specific data—like name, vehicle type, and more—into tailored communications. The result is not only an uplift in sales but a seismic shift in how relationships are formed and nurtured digitally. The phrase "Video isn't the future. It's the present" underscores the urgency of adopting such technologies. With statistics showing that video content dramatically increases customer engagement and conversion rates, it's evident that AI's role in crafting these interactions is not just advantageous but essential. CRM and AI: A Harmonious Blend for Success Central to the transformative power of Generative AI is its seamless integration with CRM systems. This synergy ensures consistency and personalization in outreach efforts. Horton notes, "Video AI," when combined with CRM automation, is like having an omnipresent BDC (Business Development Center), eliminating human errors and providing constant, tailored customer interactions. Essentially, AI orchestrates a symphony of data and communication, effectively automating what was once a manual and error-prone process. For dealerships, this harmony transcends traditional sales methodologies. As Bradley states, by "launching automation flows for easy each use case," dealerships not only streamline processes but elevate them—ensuring customers receive relevant, personalized content at every touchpoint. This strategic blueprint for AI integration into CRM systems not only enhances the customer experience but dramatically increases sales performance, offering dealerships a distinct and sustainable competitive edge. The Competitive Power of AI Video in Dealerships The extraordinary potential of Generative AI isn't just in automating video creation—it's in redefining competition within the market. Dealers utilizing AI video capabilities are observing tangible improvements in sales, as evidenced by Longo Toyota's case, which highlighted a substantial increase in sales through personalized video strategies. Bradley reinforces this notion by providing a stark warning: "Every minute, every hour, every day that you waste procrastinating… is dollars lost." By harnessing the power of Generative AI, dealerships position themselves as industry leaders—actively investing in technology that not only facilitates sales but builds robust customer relationships. The lexicon of automotive sales is thus expanded, with AI serving as a tool not of replacement, but of enhancement and opportunity. It's a call to action for dealers to pivot from antiquated methodologies towards a future enriched by AI innovation, which promises not just survival, but dominance in the competitive marketplace. Time waits for no one, as echoed in the poetic recitation towards the end, reminding us of the fleeting nature of opportunity. The automotive industry stands on the precipice of a technological renaissance, with Generative AI as the catalyst speeding this evolution. Embracing AI technologies is no longer optional but essential, enabling dealerships to break free from the constraints of traditional processes and unlock unprecedented potential. Dealerships equipped with AI capabilities aren't just adapting to change—they're defining it. As the industry continues its evolutionary journey, those daring to innovate with Generative AI and video technology will indeed lead the pack.

Bill Bedrossian was set on becoming a stockbroker. With a job lined up in Chicago's financial district, he was focused on financial and professional success. But one afternoon, while walking to lunch, he stepped over a man experiencing homelessness without even noticing him. The man shouted after him, calling Bill out for his fancy suit and “little problems” while the homeless man was unable to get something to eat. Faced with another human just fighting to survive, Bill realized he had been preoccupied by things that, in the end, didn't really matter. The encounter shook him.

Conversation Takeaways Stephen Johnson's mission is to expand access to effective standardized test prep. His journey into education was inspired by a lack of role models and a desire to inspire others. He transitioned from tutoring to test prep after noticing students' struggles with standardized tests. Stephen's love for math developed through personal support from his mother during his struggles. The SAT Math Guy was born out of the need for digital resources during the pandemic. Creating a faceless YouTube channel allowed Stephen to overcome personal insecurities. Early video production was challenging, but commitment helped him improve over time. Personal growth became a key motivator in Stephen's journey as an educator. AI should be integrated into education to enhance learning experiences. Parents and educators must teach responsible use of AI tools to students.

Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we discover and connect with scent—bringing personalization and clarity to an industry long defined by overwhelm and subjectivity.Avner and Erin share the origin story of iRomaScents, a platform designed to make fragrance discovery intuitive, accessible, and data-driven. What began as a dream to integrate scent into immersive experiences evolved into a cutting-edge solution to one of beauty's most frustrating problems: finding your perfect perfume. The result is an AI-powered “wizard” that uses lifestyle cues and emotional patterns—like your favorite colors or songs—to guide users to scent profiles they'll actually love.Veronique Gabai lends her industry insight to explain how this technology enhances, rather than replaces, the emotional artistry of perfumery. With scent linked so deeply to our reptilian brain, she explains, it's no wonder we struggle to articulate preferences—iRomaScents helps bridge that gap by refining, not replacing, human instinct.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by a perfume counter or struggled to put your preferences into words, this episode offers a glimpse into a smarter, more intuitive future.
