IMEG President and CEO Paul VanDuyne talks about the trajectory of his career and the firm's growth during his 20-year tenure as CEO in this special episode of The Future Built Smarter. The recipient of ENR Midwest's 2023 Legacy Award, Paul entered the industry as a design electrical engineer 47 years ago when he joined IMEG—then KJWW Engineering. In 2003 he became president and CEO, and in 2015 led a merger between KJWW and TTG Engineers of California, which ushered in the creation of IMEG. Since then, IMEG has completed 35 acquisitions and has gone from 800 staff members in the Midwest and California to over 2,400 staff at 80 locations coast to coast. All of that might not have happened, however, had Paul followed his original plans when he moved from the East Coast—where he'd already earned an engineering degree—to Davenport, Iowa. “I actually came out to the Midwest to become a chiropractor,” he says. “I was going into a new career direction. About six months into it I needed to make some money and joined this small engineering company over in Rock Island, Illinois. I was their 16th person at the beginning of 1976. That's my story with what eventually became IMEG.” Paul shares how his interest in healthcare—he did go on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College—led to jumpstarting and building IMEG's healthcare portfolio, which today is ranked 4th in the nation among engineering firms by Building Design+Construction. He also discusses IMEG's ongoing strategic mergers and acquisitions, its goal to become a billion-dollar company, and how its wide diversity of markets and services, geographic distribution, employee ownership, and single profit center combine to provide the firm with resilience and growth even during times of adversity. “All that really helped us get through the pandemic, but also any difficult times that come up,” he says. “That's a huge stability factor for us.” After nearly 50 years in the business, Paul says he is very committed to a daily health regimen that helps him to stay energized and meet the demands of the job, physically and mentally. “I think a lot of it has to do with mindset,” he says. “If your mindset is a progressive mindset, and it's an abundance mindset, I think that gives you a huge advantage.” Learn more about IMEG's approach and stories of success on the new mini-documentary, "IMEG Built Smarter: A Strategic Growth Story.”

In this episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I'm thrilled to present the inaugural Celine Aziz Legacy Award to my dear friend and coach, Anna Rapp, whose wonderful book, The 20K Freedom Fund was released earlier this year. The award is in honor of my amazing friend Celine who tragically passed away in a car accident at the age of 26. I miss her every single day, but she really lives on in my life and in the lives of all of those who knew her and who loved her. I will be awarding this every year during the summit to a woman who I feel really embodies going after what she wants with boldness and bravery in a way that is authentic and empowers other women. A woman who has written and published a book that creates a ripple effect and continues the legacy of building up other women. Anna inspires other women to go after their dreams and step into that person they want to be. She explains how building a financial cushion gives you so much stability and freedom and shares affirmations to create safety so you can be brave and vulnerable as you put your story out into the world. In our conversation she shares: How she was able to help people change their behavior by changing their language. The ripples that she's already seen from bravely sharing her story and putting her book out in the world. Affirmations that can help you create the safety you need to be vulnerable with your story. The hardest part for her along her book writing journey and how she was able to move through it. I hope this episode encourages you to consider your legacy and pursue your dreams, own your voice and speak your truth to continue the beautiful ripple effect inspired by my friend. About Anna: Anna Rapp is a Business Mentor + Mindset Coach, mama to two and founder of the Heart Centered Entrepreneur Podcast and Community. Anna lives in San Diego and helps women create six figure success on PT hours with HEART so they can create financial stability to live their boring, happy dream life with the people they love.

Show Notes: [00:00:03.320] - Mustansir Saifuddin Welcome. [00:00:04.180] - Mustansir Saifuddin To Tech-driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. In this episode, I welcome back David C. Williams. Listen in as David shares his thoughts on how organizations can use AI and RPA to move business forward. David dives into the role each plays and how they complement each other to solve business problems. [00:00:27.320] - Mustansir Saifuddin Hello, David. How are you? [00:00:37.300] - David C. Williams Must say I'm doing well. [00:00:42.460] - Mustansir Saifuddin Thank you, David. I'd like to welcome you back to my podcast, Tech-Driven Business. Today, I would like to talk about how RPA and AI is helping organizations. How does that sound to you? [00:00:59.900] - David C. Williams Wonderful. It's an exciting topic, brother. [00:01:07.610] - Mustansir Saifuddin Yeah, I know this is very near and dear to you. In our previous sessions, you had talked about at length, about RPA. I thought this will be a good segue into this conversation. [00:01:21.770] - David C. Williams Wonderful. [00:01:23.000] - Mustansir Saifuddin How is AI and RPA helping organizations increase efficiency in their operations and throughout their business in general? [00:01:34.740] - David C. Williams Well, when I think about it, RPA is, I would say all of hyper automation, but especially RPA, is one of the, if not the least, expensive way to solve a business problem with software. Artificial intelligence is the computing power we've dreamed of. When you take that type of computing power and intelligence and give it a efficient reach like RPA, you can go do a lot of cool things very quickly and it doesn't cost your arm and the leg. [00:02:17.250] - Mustansir Saifuddin I like the way you connected the two. So it seems like they are both connected at the hip in terms of how they are complementing each other. [00:02:29.080] - David C. Williams Yeah. Ai is a brain, right? And just like in a human body, a brain is great, but it can't move anything physically, right? And so you need all these extremities to go about the brain's business every day. That's how I think about AI and RPA coming together. You have the most intelligent computational brain that you could imagine or dream of with mobility of RPA that's so flexible, so ubiquitous, so applicable in so many ways that when you put the two together, it's exponential. [00:03:09.370] - Mustansir Saifuddin That is great. Let's talk about something in terms of leveraging the efficiency part, right? We talk about efficiencies in business, in our general lives, how we can do things faster, better. [00:03:25.920] - Mustansir Saifuddin When we talk about leveraging the efficiency of RPA and the capabilities of AI, what makes it beneficial to a business? Can you give some examples? Talk about that. [00:03:43.690] - David C. Williams Yeah, sure. If you think about the combination of the two things that you could do with this. Let's say you have a workforce that uses some knowledge management system. Well, every day that workforce thumbs through a virtual encyclopedia, right? They thumb through a virtual dictionary to go get information or they query it. [00:04:19.960] - David C. Williams With the advent of generative AI combined with RPA, what you could do is you could use AI to do the querying and summarization of all of that knowledge management. You can use RPA to quickly place that in so many different places to make it more accessible. Yep, we got it. We got the great brain that's going to take all of this stuff and compile it into something that's usable and easy to extract from. But how do I get it over to my field technicians, to my customer service group? How do I leverage that across several systems? Rpa and other components of hyperautomation are very prone, very likely to be the best options to go do that without having to reinvent the wheel. [00:05:18.730] - Mustansir Saifuddin That's a great example you use. That leads me into my next question about you've been doing hyper automation for quite some time, and you had some great success and gains that you saw with that implementation at AT&T. How do you see that journey evolved with the addition of AI now? [00:05:42.030] - David C. Williams Oh, man. Well, I would tell you, when it comes to things like RPA, my team does sit on the very forefront of where all that stuff is going, the way we use it, the conversations we even had with Microsoft on what they're building and enhancing and all that stuff. When I think about where it's going, though, and with AI, AI is going to take our most challenging parts of the development cycle, the most challenging parts of every business or many businesses, and it'll simplify. When I think of that, I think about a world where RPA is even more democratized, where literally any knowledge worker can use RPA. Instead of putting up PowerPoints, we can share prototypes. [00:06:45.660] - David C. Williams That is going to open up an entire universe of innovation and automation. [00:06:53.900] - Mustansir Saifuddin It seems almost like you are fast tracking a lot of things. [00:06:59.900] - David C. Williams Trying to, man. The funny thing about automation is the more you do it, the more folks want it, which is a good thing, but it is still a challenge. As we continue to grow the program, as we continue to help more of our colleagues, coworkers, customers, as more parts of the business depend on the things we create, we look for ways to continue to accelerate. There are a ton of quotes that we believe in and mantra we have on our team. One is that success is momentum over time. As we continue to... We found some success, we built some momentum. It's taking us a little bit of time as we continue to go down this path, we're going to keep driving more momentum. That is the expectation. Honestly, we're positioned for it. The more things that we build, the more we get to leverage. At one point, we were using bricks to build buildings, then we're using buildings to blocks to build cities, cities to build, etc. We're just still lead on that journey, accelerating and looking for ways to continue to accelerate. And that AI version of what I just spoke about is just one area. [00:08:16.220] - David C. Williams There's a ton of other things that we're looking at to automate so that we can accelerate everything that we're doing in that space. [00:08:24.640] - Mustansir Saifuddin That is awesome. When you think about opportunities, what opportunities do you see in this area where AI and RP are working together, the idea of creating this intelligent automation? Where do you see that going? [00:08:42.160] - David C. Williams Well, I think that at a certain point it's going to happen. For those that discover it or leverage it, priced, they will solve more complex business problems at a cheaper price, at a faster pace, and that will impact their competition and so forth and so forth. I think it's just a matter of time. These things, these operations, these big companies, whether you're talking telecom or healthcare, doesn't matter. The efficiency that they can drive helps them to be able to capitalize on the things that they do in those specific industries. Rpa is the least expensive hyperautomation is the least expensive way of solving a business problem with software. I haven't found anything cheaper. You put cognitive capabilities on top of that. That means the more complex things you can get after with the cheapest means of doing it. If you're doing that better than your competitor, look at our competitor. [00:09:57.630] - Mustansir Saifuddin Yeah, for sure. I mean, there's always this conversation about what technology is moving away from or getting a thing of the past. So when you hear people talk about who say that RPA is a thing of the past and the future is AI, what is your response to that? [00:10:19.710] - David C. Williams It's probably a laugh, a chuckle. It would be like saying, Oh, you know what? The Wright brothers have mastered human flight. We've discovered human flight. We all can fly now. There's no need for tires. No need for tires. Nobody needs tires anymore. It's impossible to even think like that. I would say the same about AI and RPA. There is no competition between the two. This is chocolate and peanut butter. They work better together. There is no competition between the two. There is no replacement of one or the other. Your brain will never replace your thumb. Never. I don't care how good of a brain you have. That thumb sure comes in handy. That's how I think about RPA is that it's not that this is the 3G and there's 4G. No, no, no, no, no. This is complementary. As long as you have one, you will want the other. That's what I think about AI and RPA. As long as you have one, you're going to want the other. If you have RPA, you want cognitive capabilities to make those automations smarter so you can automate more things. If you have AI, you want reach and you want quick reach because with AI you get quick answers. [00:11:54.510] - David C. Williams So you want quick, ubiquitous, far, far reaching reach. Rpa gives you that hyper automation gives you that. Putting up Lego blocks together in the right ways, you get exactly that. For those that say that, I guess maybe it may be a little telling, but I don't see it. [00:12:14.950] - Mustansir Saifuddin I love the example you use. That is really great. It just puts things in perspective. I think it's just like the one cannot live without the other. It's almost like a marriage made in heaven. That's awesome. [00:12:28.810] - David C. Williams It really is. I mean, when you think about just how fast AI is able to go get the most complex, sophisticated answers and responses to produce code in seconds, whole paragraphs in seconds, whole reports. When you think about that to have that level of intelligence with the an arm 8,000 miles long, you can do a lot. You can do a whole lot. And so that's, I think, the beauty of AI and RPA coming together. [00:13:10.790] - Mustansir Saifuddin That makes sense. Definitely. For sure. So I guess that takes me to my next point. Based on all that we covered today, what is that one key takeaway that you would want our listeners to leave the session today with? [00:13:29.000] - David C. Williams You got to embrace AI quickly. You got to move safely with it. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Rpa is still the future. Rpa still has a huge impact. I would say to many American Airlines is great for getting you from New York to Los Angeles. But if you need tacos delivered on Tuesday at 2:00 PM American Airlines is probably not the place that you want to call. There's probably better options, more suitable options. One is not better than the other. They just have different roles. That's how RPA and AI relationship are. They have different roles that are extremely complementary of each other. [00:14:23.860] - Mustansir Saifuddin I think that's a great way to put it. I like the example you use. I think it seems like a lot of times folks are thinking of one technology versus the other. The way you're explaining or you're rationalizing this whole thing is one is helping the other to be more productive, more efficient, and be more robust together as a business, as a technology that is working together to make things better. [00:14:58.570] - David C. Williams Must have said, I would tell you, brother, that one of the biggest mistakes people make in technology is they want to put all the eggs in one basket. Oh, we're going to have this one thing that's going to do all these things. You know what that's called? They did that a long time ago. It's called the Titanic. It doesn't work well that way. Even if you look at Netflix, Amazon, everything you're looking on a page, it's not just one application. There's so many applications working at once. You just see it in one user interface. And so the same way that those microservices work and they feel like one, but they're all separate is what hyper automation, what RPA is. It feels like one thing, but it's still separate. You put all these things together and you can create something magical versus trying to do this just one big, herculean, Titanic thing. And so I find that putting one and one together, if you get them close enough together, one in one is 11. You get further, faster, you get something exponential. You can skip all the other stuff. That's how I think about AI and RPA coming together. [00:16:17.120] - David C. Williams You get further, faster putting them together. [00:16:20.620] - Mustansir Saifuddin For sure. Now it's been a great session, David. And thank you for sharing your thoughts and your insights into this discussion point. I mean, definitely, there is a lot of progress that needs to be made in this field where both AI and RPA coming together, helping businesses and making our lives better. So I really appreciate your time. Thank you so much for joining our session today. [00:16:49.500] - David C. Williams Thank you. Have a great day. [00:16:58.250] - Mustansir Saifuddin Thanks for listening to Tech-driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. David gave a great overview on the power of AI and rpa.

Having a growth mindset means viewing failures and setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than seeing them as a reflection of your intelligence or your self-worth. Our guest, Krista Satterthwaite, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise's Mainstream Compute, shares that when you embrace a growth mindset, you shouldnt see failure as a defeat, but rather as a chance to learn and improve future actions and decisions toward success.

Stan Hall of the Gas South District joins us to talk about the upcoming speaker series. Plus... Rising country superstar Zach Bryan is bringing his Burn Burn Burn North American Tour to Gwinnett County in May. The singer, who has hits with "From Austin," "Heading South" and "Something in the Orange" is coming to Gas South Arena on May 15. Fans can register for the chance to purchase tickets via Fair AXS at www.axs.com/zachbryan. After the Fair AXS registration period concludes on January 29 at 10 p.m., AXS will work to ensure any suspicious, fraudulent, and/or duplicated registrations are removed, tour officials said. Fans who are randomly selected to purchase tickets will be notified via email, starting on Feb. 13, with all pertinent information for them to complete their purchase, subject to availability. Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis and an invitation email for the chance to purchase tickets does not guarantee tickets will be available. Tickets purchased through AXS cannot be transferred or resold for profit. If a fan can no longer attend a show, tickets can be sold on the Zach Bryan AXS Marketplace for face value to another fan. There can be little argument that the COVID pandemic of the last few years forced a lot of folks to become more acquainted with their own homes, where they found themselves spending more and more time. It is for that reason that the home renovation and design industries stayed healthy while many other businesses struggled. With that in mind — and with spring right around the corner — could there be a better time for the 25th annual North Atlanta Home Show? Set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Gas South Convention Center in Duluth, the North Atlanta Home Show will bring more than 160 exhibitors to the area for a comprehensive collection of products, services, displays and experts that covers just about everything related to home improvement. Levine added that with the expansion of the convention center now complete, there will be even more opportunities for patrons to be dazzled by the array of options. Last year's home show attracted some 7,000 visitors and Levine said he can see even more attendees this time around. The home show is produced by Marketplace Events, North America's largest presenter of home, garden, holiday and bridal shows. Levine said just every show produced thus far in 2023 — including Oklahoma City, Dallas, Washington, Kansas City, Austin, Salt Lake City and several Canadian cities — has seen an uptick in visitors.

Ferry Corsten on the On Location Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions at ADE 10/21/22 About Ferry Corsten - Hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Ferry Corsten's illustrious career is exemplified by a passion for music that began as a hobby and spiraled into a full-blown profession, as he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music. This is exemplified by Ferry Corsten' recently released ambient album, ‘As Above So Below' under his FERR By Ferry Corsten alias, a personal project which allowed him to further explore his love for orchestral music that evolved from his long-running Stillpoint playlist. Ferry's love for cinematic sounds has long been present in his music, as the iconic Rotterdam native signed off on his 5th artist album as Ferry Corsten – Blueprint. In 2017 This interstellar storyline-driven epic is something unlike any Ferry Corsten record before and preceded the release of Ferry's first soundtrack early last year, composing the score for David Gleeson's late-2018 thriller ‘Don't Go'. 2019 also saw Ferry continue with his UNITY project, a concept launched in 2018 that has seen Ferry collaborate with iconic trance acts throughout the year with the vision of uniting the Trance community for a bigger cause. Ferry has partnered with VH1's Save The Music Foundation, an organization formed to reinstate music programs for children, which has helped 2,100 schools to date. These high-profile UNITY collaborations include works with Paul Oakenfold, Ilan Bluestone, Gabriel & Dresden, Sander van Doorn under his Purple Haze alias, and most recently with Ciaran McAuley on ‘Mo Chara'. 2019 also saw Ferry place in DJ Mag's Top100DJs poll for the 8th consecutive year, rising 15 places to #59 and extending his position as the longest serving Dutch DJ in the poll; capping what was an impressive year. Ferry has been consistently at the top of his game since his sophomoric album under the System F alias ‘Out of The Blue' in 1999, with the title track charting in the UK Top 20 singles chart. He's continued this success with numerous remix requests, including remixes for U2, Moby, Faithless, Duran Duran and Public Enemy. Ferry also partnered with Tiësto around this time for the now legendary Gouryella handle, a project Ferry relaunched in 2016 with the hugely popular ‘Anahera' single, and later a Gouryella 2.0 Live show gracing the stages of EDC, Ultra, Tomorrowland and more. Ferry himself graced the stage with standout shows at the likes of Parookaville, EDC Las Vegas and Tomorrowland last year. Ferry also debuted his System F live show in November 2018 at Dreamstate SoCal to mark 20 years of ‘Out of The Blue' and has since taken it worldwide to the likes of Electronic Family and Transmission. Ferry also recently announced his WHAT THE F concept, unifying his System F, Gouryella and Ferry Corsten aliases for a series of intimate open-to-close exclusive sets, comprised of solely his own material, across the world in the coming months. Ferry continues to break new ground in the trance world and beyond, demonstrated by his nomination for ‘Best Trance DJ' at the 2018 DJ Awards and more recently winning the prestigious ‘Legacy Award' at the 2019 edition of the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA's) in Miami during Miami Music Week. Alongside hit global exploits as a DJ, chart scaling achievements in the studio, Ferry continues to have a day-to-day involvement in his Flashover Recordings imprint, recently partnering with Armada Music for future releases. Launched back in 2005, Ferry's label enables him to scour the world for fresh talent and release music by cutting-edge producers, giving them a voice on the world stage, alongside hosting his own label parties everywhere from Amsterdam Dance Event to Miami Music Week.
