    Scouting for Growth
    Trust-by-Design: Lessons from the AI Frontier

    Scouting for Growth

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 20, 2025 18:10


    On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to us about all she's learned from the numerous guests on the show recently, from startup founders who build AI to simplify the chaotic insurance back office, to innovation leaders in Fortune 500 firms wrestling with ethics, regulation, and talent shortages. After dozens of conversations here's what Sabine has learned: AI isn't just changing our tools. It's changing our temperament. This episode is her reflection on those lessons; a guide for leaders and builders trying to navigate this new age of intelligence and unpacks five principles that define successful AI adoption. KEY TAKEAWAYS When Branch Insurance introduced AI into its claims process, something unexpected happened. It wasn't the customers who resisted, it was the adjusters. They were worried, not because AI made mistakes but because it didn't. When Lisa Bechtold's (who led AI governance at Zurich Insurance, now at Nestlé) team started implementing AI, they faced the classic dilemma: Move fast or move right. Lisa said: “We don't see governance as slowing innovation – we see it as enabling trust at speed.” ERGO Group worked with CamCom, a startup from India that uses computer vision to detect car damage from photos or drones. The tech was brilliant. The challenge? Integrating it into a multinational insurer's process. They didn't just hand over the product, they sat side by side – engineers, adjusters, compliance officers, even lawyers – to make it work. It took nearly a year to get from pilot to production and the result wasn't just faster claims; it was a new relationship model. The startup learned how corporates think. The corporate learned how startups move. That's the real win. After all the talk about data, systems, ethics, and pilots, what really matters is how humans evolve. AI won't replace people, but people who know how to use AI will replace people who don't. That's not a threat, it's an invitation. AI is already changing what we expect from talent. Claims adjusters now need to interpret AI outputs. Underwriters must question models. Leaders must learn to manage digital teammates. BEST MOMENTS  ‘Intelligent tool don't remove human judgment; they reveal it in higher resolution.'  ‘In this AI era, trust is the new currency.'‘Every AI dream dies in the shadow of bad data.'‘The irony is that the more intelligent our systems become, the more human our leadership must be. Empathy, creativity, ethics aren't data points, they're our differentiators.' ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers, accelerated over 100 startup ventures. Sabine is the co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, a top 50 Women in Tech, a FinTech and InsurTech Influencer, an investor & multi-award winner.

    This episode is powered by The Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz , your first step in uncovering how to leverage your divine wiring to lead with alignment as you stop sabotaging your next level of success. Discover your divine wiring and uncover what's REALLY keeping YOU from millions. The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. This week's MTM Minute is a REWIND based on the full length episode, The Leadership Gap. Dr. Darnyelle delves into the importance of closing the leadership gap to grow your business to seven figures. She emphasizes the need for CEOs to delegate effectively, move away from micromanagement, and lead with clarity, vision, and purpose. Dr. Darnyelle shares powerful insights on empowering your team, trusting your leadership abilities, and creating an environment where team members feel valued and safe. By focusing on leadership development and learning to delegate authority, CEOs can move beyond six-figure limitations and scale to seven figures with grace. This episode provides actionable tips to improve team performance, avoid burnout, and foster a culture of accountability. Leaders who develop their skills will attract more success and grow their businesses exponentially.   This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I am closing my leadership gap by stepping into my full potential as a leader, empowering my team and trusting their abilities. I lead with clarity, vision, and purpose, knowing that as I grow, my team and business grow with me. I release the need to micromanage, and instead, I create an environment where my team feels safe, valued, and inspired. I trust in their strengths, delegate effectively, and watch my business thrive as we move to seven figures and beyond."   Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Delegate with Trust: Start by delegating one key task that you have been holding on to. Trust your team member to handle it and provide feedback, not micromanagement. Allow them the space to perform, even if it's not done exactly how you would do it. Hold Clear Team Meetings: Ensure your team understands their role in the broader vision of your business. Hold a meeting to communicate the company's goals, values, and vision for the next 90 days. Make sure everyone knows how their work contributes to the overall success. Invest in Leadership Development: Commit to improving your leadership skills. Read books, attend workshops, and work with a coach who can help you develop better ways to manage and support your team. As you grow as a leader, your business will naturally thrive.   Affirm with me: "I am closing my leadership gap by stepping into my full potential as a leader, empowering my team and trusting their abilities. I lead with clarity, vision, and purpose, knowing that as I grow, my team and business grow with me. I release the need to micromanage, and instead, I create an environment where my team feels safe, valued, and inspired. I trust in their strengths, delegate effectively, and watch my business thrive as we move to seven figures and beyond."   And this week's journal prompts are: "As a leader, I want to empower my team by delegating... and trusting them with..." "The leadership gap I most need to address in my business is... and I can begin closing it by..." "To improve my leadership, I will focus on... and take one step today to create more trust and clarity with my team."   And your prayer of the week: Heavenly Father,   We thank You for the opportunity to grow as leaders in our businesses. Help us to lead with clarity, confidence, and grace. We ask that You guide our actions and decisions, empowering us to delegate with trust and create an environment where our teams feel valued and supported. Lord, we recognize that leadership is a skill we can develop, and we pray for the wisdom and strength to close the leadership gap in our businesses. May we lead with purpose, serve with integrity, and trust that as we grow, our businesses will grow with us.   In Your name, we pray. Amen. Want more of Darnyelle?

    Jerry Colonna is the CEO and Co-founder of Reboot.io, an executive coaching and leadership development firm dedicated to helping leaders grow through the practice of radical self-inquiry. A former venture capitalist, Jerry is a renowned executive coach and the author of two acclaimed books, Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up and Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. Known for his candid storytelling and exploration of personal and generational challenges, Jerry draws on his experiences as an immigrant, entrepreneur, and leader to help others uncover unconscious patterns and build authentic connections. In this episode… What if the beliefs, fears, and resilience that shape our lives today are not just personal traits, but echoes from generations past? Understanding how ancestors faced change, poverty, and struggles with belonging can transform the way we lead and live. Could reconnecting with our family history reveal where — and to whom — we truly belong? Jerry Colonna, a renowned executive coach and author, tackles these profound questions by tracing his family's immigrant journey and exploring how generational experiences inform our sense of self. Using stories of his entrepreneurial grandfather and the hardships his own parents faced, Jerry reveals how both inspiration and trauma cascade through generations, influencing our choices, leadership styles, and even our capacity for resilience. He shares his personal quest to bridge the disconnections in his own lineage — including a revelatory trip to Ireland to reclaim lost roots, demonstrating how true self-understanding only comes when we look beyond ourselves to our collective past. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Jerry Colonna, CEO and Co-founder of Reboot.io, about the legacy of generational trauma, belonging, and leadership. Jerry shares candid reflections on family resilience, the illusion of self-reinvention, and how embracing your roots can strengthen both heart and leadership.

    You can't 10X your business by just working harder. Actually, the harder you push, the more you push away what you're trying to create. Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh shares The Grace Codes framework—and this conversation wrecked me in the best way. Five hours into climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, a guide asked Dr. Kelly to hand over her backpack. She refused. Every other woman had surrendered theirs, but she insisted she was fine. Then she realized she was weaving on the trail—a sign of oxygen deprivation she hadn't even noticed. The truth? It took 28 porters and guides to get 5 women to the summit. You need a village to scale anything meaningful. But first, you've gotta say yes when someone offers help. In this episode: The Grace Codes framework (Release, Reclaim, Rewrite, Receive), power amnesia, worthiness work, and why the woman who got you here won't take you to your next level without burning you out. Dr. Kelly is the founder of the Gen X 10X movement. She recently raised $40K climbing Kilimanjaro to build a school in Tanzania.   What You'll Learn The Grace Codes: 4 steps from survival to surrender (Release, Reclaim, Rewrite, Receive) Why "power amnesia" keeps you from remembering how powerful you are How to separate worthiness from productivity and bank account balance Why receiving is the hardest step for high-achieving women How Dr. Kelly went from $130K in debt to tripling her business without working harder What Human Design reveals about your energetic blueprint for success The Great Pause is happening right now, and what it means for women entrepreneurs Why it takes a village to 10X anything meaningful   Related Episodes You Might Love Episode 270: The Truth About Learning to Manifest with Alea Lovely https://sarahwalton.com/learn-manifestation/  Episode 227: How to Clear a Money Fog with Mikelann Valterra https://sarahwalton.com/clear-money-fog/  Episode 299: From Corporate Layoffs to Creative Freedom with Trinette Faint https://sarahwalton.com/career-reinvention-after-job-loss/    Special gift from Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh Free Human Design Chart: Discover your unique energetic blueprint for 10Xing your success without the hustle. https://www.queenofworth.com/chart    Connect with Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh Website: www.drkellyschuh.com  Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook: @drkellyschuh YouTube: youtube.com/@worthinternational     About Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh is a transformational thought leader, speaker, and trainer in embodied feminine leadership and nervous system integration.

    In today's episode, I'm sharing something deeper than routine, mindset work, or the perfect morning ritual. We're talking about spiritual integrity — not as something you do, but as a way you live. After returning from an incredibly activating weekend in Chicago and sitting in a full-day immersion with my teacher yesterday, I found myself cracked open, expanded… and completely exhausted in the best way. It reminded me that the real practice isn't what happens on the meditation pillow — it's what happens in the moments after. Inside this episode, we explore: Why so many leaders separate spiritual life and business life The hidden cost of spiritual disconnection, even when strategy is strong The difference between ritual and true spiritual leadership What spiritual integrity looks like in real-world everyday moments How intentionality becomes your ultimate form of embodiment The 5 pillars that support spiritual leadership in business How to begin integrating this work without perfection, pressure, or performance If you've ever felt like you're doing "all the right practices" but something still feels misaligned, leaky, or energetically inconsistent — this episode is your reminder that your life is the ceremony, and your business is the expression.

Jim stresses that the most important responsibility of any leader is hiring the right person. Too often, leaders get distracted by product, pricing, or aesthetics, while the true differentiator is the human element. He recommends evaluating candidates through the Three C's: Competence – Can they do the job?Character – Are they kind, respectful, and easy to work with?Culture Fit – Do their values align with the organization? Leaders who fail to make employees feel seen, heard, and appreciated, he warns, will continue to struggle with turnover.

    In Episode 6.2 of The CEO Podcast limited-run reboot series, Leadership at the Crossroads, hosts Vince Moiso and Scott De Long, Ph.D., examine the resurgence of the command-and-control leadership style in today's supercharged economic and political climate. They frame the issue as a common reaction to pressures such as inflation, tariffs, and AI disruption conditions that tempt even seasoned leaders to revert to top-down directives. Vince reflects on his personal evolution from a harddriving, authoritarian approach to a more principled, people-centered model influenced by Stoic philosophy (e.g., Ryan Holiday's work) and his experiences coaching youth sports. Scott underscores the drawbacks of command-and-control: while it can deliver short-term execution, it erodes culture, stifles development, and risks producing the next generation of jerk managers. They argue for data-informed, collaborative decision making that empowers people and sustains performance over time. Both acknowledge there are narrow circumstances where decisive command is warranted—true emergencies (fire in the building) or moments when time is genuinely of the essence. Even then, they recommend anchoring decisions in clear processes (e.g., routing major choices through a single function like finance), aligning actions with a shared vision, and practicing self-reflection; are you stressed, or is the business stressed? The episode closes with a call to choose what's best for the organization (us) over what's easiest for the leader (me). Key Takeaways Command-and-control can drive short-term results but damages culture and long-term performance. Use decisive top-down leadership sparingly—primarily for true emergencies or when time is critical. Sustainable leadership pairs clear processes and shared vision with empowerment, reflection, and data-informed decisions. Key Insights Economic/political pressure often triggers regression to top-down behaviors even in progressive cultures. Personal evolution as a leader may require unlearning early models (e.g., sports-style toughness coaching). Stoic practices (control your response, not external events) help leaders avoid reactive overreach. Command-and-control excels at speed and clarity, but undermines autonomy, development, and trust. Culture built on development (not just training) yields higher productivity, empowerment, and retention. Data-informed, collaborative decisions create buy-in and better execution across functions. Processes can prevent panic leadership (e.g., routing big decisions through finance or another gatekeeper). Leaders should ask: Is this choice better for me or better for us (the whole organization)? Self-check under pressure: Are you stressed personally, or is the business actually stressed? Revisit and align with a near-term vision (35 years) so decisions support strategic direction.

    Today, we are thrilled to welcome entrepreneur, philosopher, writer, podcaster, and author Robert Glazer as our guest.  Robert truly understands how values shape company culture. In his latest book, The Compass Within, he explores how values guide both personal and organizational success.  Join us to discover how strong values lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity. Robert's Journey Robert founded Acceleration Partners, a global partner marketing agency that became one of the first fully remote companies long before remote work became common. What began as an internal email to his team evolved into Friday Forward, a leadership newsletter with more than 120,000 readers. Writing became a parallel career for him, leading to several bestselling books, including his latest, a parable on personal and company values. As he stepped back from day-to-day business operations, Robert focused on helping people and organizations build capacity, lead better, and live by their core values. His mission now centers on leadership as the most powerful lever for meaningful change in companies and society. Core Values Robert developed a framework to help people identify personal core values. His philosophy is that people lead from their values consciously or unconsciously, so awareness is essential. The framework grew into a course and then a book, designed to make the process engaging and practical. Values are actionable principles, not one-word ideals, and their opposites should trigger discomfort to confirm their importance. Teaching Leadership Through Fiction Robert notes that leadership problems often arise from misaligned incentives rather than malice. In his latest book, The Compass Within, he combines fiction and nonfiction to make lessons relatable. Through the story, readers can see how misaligned values create frustration at work and in relationships. The main character embarks on a journey of self-discovery to reveal how value alignment influences experiences.  Alignment in Work and Relationships Shared values need not be identical, but they must be harmonious. Misaligned value systems create constant conflict. Early life experiences shape our core beliefs, which can later clash with or harmonize with those of others. In any setting, alignment drives trust and long-term success. Without it, relationships and organizations often fracture. Competition and External Validation Robert understands how some cultures pressure people into constant competition and comparison. Many people never stop to ask why they do what they do. True contentment begins when people stop chasing external approval and start to define success by their own standards.  Building The Compass Within The Compass Within offers a step-by-step approach for discovering actionable values. It begins with six reflective questions that explore life's highs and lows. Patterns in those answers form value statements that guide decisions. The opposite test (if the opposite of a value makes you cringe, it's genuine) ensures the values are real.  Creating a Values-Based Company Culture The company culture of entrepreneurs should evolve from the founder's authentic values, and must be collective. Effective values are actionable and measurable, not vague statements like "Integrity" or "Diversity." They should naturally arise in conversation and be evident in daily organizational behavior. Writing, Leadership, and Legacy Robert believes that leadership lies at the root of organizational change. Companies do not act. People do. When leaders understand and embody their values, their organizations thrive. His writing reflects his mission, offering practical tools to help people lead with authenticity and purpose.

    In this episode, Molly breaks down how to onboard an Executive Assistant without chaos, confusion, or costly rework by transforming the way leaders transfer responsibility. She breaks down her Teach–Show–Do–Go–and–Grow™ method, revealing how to shift from ad-hoc task dumping to intentional leadership development. You will learn how shadowing, quick huddles, and clear context can turn an EA into a proactive leader rather than just a task-doer. Key Takeaways: The Teach, Show, Do Go and Grow method is a transformational onboarding strategy that builds trust and leadership within firms. Immersive shadowing during an EA's first week enables them to understand the 'how' and 'why' of leadership decisions. Pre- and post-meeting huddles are crucial for providing context and measuring outcomes. A final week debrief by the EA demonstrates learning, accountability, and their readiness to take on responsibilities. Consistent evaluation and adaptation of the onboarding process ensure alignment with leadership expectations and business goals.
