For many marketers, managing data across different platforms is a constant headache. From pulling campaign metrics into Airtable to building reports that actually make sense, the process often eats up hours that could be better spent on strategy. Andy Cloke, founder of Data Fetcher, joins the podcast to explore how no-code integrations can transform the way marketers work with data. Andy shares how Data Fetcher makes it simple to connect Airtable with your popular platforms, automatically update dashboards, and streamline reporting. He also discusses the growing importance of APIs in marketing, why integrations are becoming non-negotiable, and how even non-technical professionals can harness these tools to work smarter. About Data Fetcher Data Fetcher is an Airtable extension that lets non-technical teams connect to any API without writing code. Launched in 2020 as one of the first extensions on the Airtable marketplace, it now serves hundreds of customers who pull data from over 5,000 different APIs. The tool offers pre-built integrations for popular services like Google Analytics, Stripe, and OpenAI, plus the flexibility to connect to any REST or GraphQL API. Users can schedule automated syncs, transform incoming data, and build powerful workflows directly within their Airtable bases. As a bootstrapped and profitable company, Data Fetcher focuses on sustainable growth rather than chasing venture capital metrics. The extension has been featured by both Airtable and G2. About Andy Cloke Andy Cloke is the founder of Data Fetcher, a bootstrapped SaaS that helps teams connect APIs to Airtable. After teaching himself to code and working as a freelance developer, he built and sold his first startup before launching Data Fetcher on the Airtable marketplace. As a solo founder, Andy uses Twitter to share his experiments, failures, and wins openly to help other bootstrappers. He focuses on leveraging platform ecosystems to find underserved niches and advocates for staying focused on one project rather than chasing shiny objects.

We're joined once again by Lisa Earle McLeod, renowned author of "Selling with Noble Purpose" and a global leader in purpose-driven business strategies. This time, Lisa dives deep into the transformative role that artificial intelligence is playing in negotiation strategy and tactics. We discuss how AI is changing the sales game—not just by giving us better tactics, but by helping us see through our customers' eyes to uncover what truly matters to them. Lisa shares fresh insights on crafting more effective negotiation approaches by leveraging AI to understand customer risks, uncover hidden pain points, and create compelling questions that drive value-based conversations. Plus, she unpacks the do's and don'ts of using AI, highlights common pitfalls, and shares a real-world story of closing a challenging deal using these cutting-edge methods. This episode is packed with practical advice on how to harness AI for more genuine, successful negotiations—while keeping the client at the heart of it all. Outline of This Episode [00:00] AI missteps in sales negotiation. [06:00] Customer-centric discovery emphasizes ROI by highlighting competitive consequences. [08:46] AI improves business strategy by generating unexpected, insightful questions. [11:52] Use AI as a nonjudgmental coach available anytime for negotiation advice. [15:11] AI communication dos and don'ts. [18:28] Lisa's story of using AI to highlight the cost of inaction. Rethinking How We Use AI in Sales Negotiation AI tools have flooded the sales landscape, promising quick wins and smarter decisions. But, as Lisa warns, the way most sellers use AI can actually backfire. Too many reps default to self-serving prompts—focused on expressing their own value or outshining the competition—instead of truly stepping into their client's shoes. Instead, Lisa suggests using AI to uncover the risks, concerns, and goals that matter most to your buyer. For example, rather than asking, “How can I win this deal?” prompt AI with, “What risks does my client face if they don't act on my proposal?” or “What might the CFO of a large manufacturing company be worried about right now?” By doing this, AI becomes a discovery partner—not just a generator of clever closing lines. The Power of “Cost of Inaction” in Persuasion Too often, sellers build polished ROI arguments, only to watch stakeholders do nothing. Why? Highlighting what a company could lose by standing still is often far more compelling than dangling the prospect of what they might gain. AI can be a powerful ally in quantifying and articulating these hidden risks. By prompting AI to brainstorm implication questions—“What happens if your competitors outpace you next year?”—sellers can stimulate genuine urgency within decision-makers. It's not about scare tactics; it's about helping clients confront realities they may have overlooked, with the help of AI's outside-the-box perspective. Best Practices: Do's and Don'ts for AI-Driven Negotiation Harnessing AI's power in negotiation requires more than clever prompts; it demands ethical considerations and a client-centric mindset. Lisa shares these essential ground rules: Do: Start with the Client: Frame AI prompts around your buyer's role, goals, and pains—not your own pitch. Unearth Strategic Goals: Have AI help uncover what truly matters to your client's business, even if it's unrelated to your product. Ask for Better Questions: Use AI to generate implication and discovery questions that go beyond the obvious, elevating sales conversations. Don't: Don't Overshare: Never input confidential or proprietary information into public AI tools—treat them as you would social media. Don't Be Self-Serving: Avoid focusing AI on “how to win” at the expense of the client's needs—this erodes trust and effectiveness. Don't Sound Like a Robot: Use AI's polished language carefully. While it's great for proposals, it can sound canned in conversation. Personalize and adapt its suggestions. Transparency is also key. If you use AI to prepare, be open about it: “I put your profile into AI to think more deeply about your goals—here's what came up. How does that resonate with you?” Such honesty builds authentic rapport. Flipping the Script and Winning Deals To prove the methodology, Lisa shares her own recent experience: her firm faced a client paralyzed by indecision—the status quo seemed easier than change. By using AI to map out the tangible and long-term risks of doing nothing, and then presenting these “costs of inaction” back to the client, the conversation shifted. The client moved from hesitant to decisive, signing a high-value contract immediately. The lesson? When sales teams use AI to spotlight what's at stake for the buyer, outcomes transform. Sales negotiation isn't just about tactics—it's about deep discovery, empathy, and helping clients make the best decisions. AI, when harnessed thoughtfully, amplifies a seller's consultative skills.

AI isn't killing design. It's reminding us what design really is. In this episode, we talk about the illusion of control, why designers often feel powerless, and how the real work has always been about making meaning and managing systems, not just making screens.What if AI isn't changing design at all, but finally showing us what design has really been about this whole time?It's tempting to think AI is rewriting the rules of design. But maybe the truth is simpler: it's exposing what design was always about.In this conversation with Dennis Lenard, founder of Creative Navy, we explore how AI is pushing designers to confront the illusion of control, the limits of pixel pushing, and the bigger role of meaning-making. Dennis brings over 20 years of experience working in UX, teaching design, and writing on interface design for high-stakes industries like healthcare. His perspective? The anxieties we're feeling aren't new; they're just harder to ignore now.We cover why prioritization matters more than production, why empathy should extend to your team as much as your users, and how to reframe design as managing the system, not just the interface.

In Unlearning the Hush: Oral Histories of Black Female Educators in Mississippi in the Civil Rights Era (University of Illinois Press, 2025), Dr. Marlee Bunch shared her research on Black female educators in Mississippi during the Civil Rights era and discussed how their experiences and wisdom continue to inform contemporary teaching practices and diversity initiatives. The conversation explored the importance of preserving and unearthing hidden histories through various forms of cultural expression, while examining the role of educators in creating inclusive learning environments. Marlee's work extends to her teaching philosophy and upcoming projects, including a National Academy of Education postdoc award project that will expand her oral history research to include Black male educators and explore the power of storytelling across generations. Despite significant challenges and powerful opposition, Black female teachers stood at the forefront of advocating for and providing education to Black students. Their dedication not only improved opportunities for Black communities but also influenced changes in U.S. laws and societal expectations. Bunch draws on a rich fund of oral histories to reveal the interior lives of Black female educators who taught before and after desegregation in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In their own voices, these women detail the hurdles they faced guiding students through Jim Crow laws and Civil Rights-era desegregation. Bunch unearths the personal stories of teaching and activism during a historic time that included the Brown v. Board of Education decision and whites' massive resistance to desegregation. The educators explain the importance of the Black community and Black homes while discussing their part in priming students for success and creating community cohesion. In addition, Bunch looks at the legacies of Black educators and the work still to be done. A section of images and poetry compliments the text. Inspiring and immersive, Unlearning the Hush combines memory with Civil Rights history to document Black women's role in education during a tumultuous time. Bunch is an interdisciplinary educator, scholar, author, and preserver of oral histories dedicated to illuminating untold stories and fostering human-centered, inclusive learning spaces. With over a decade of teaching experience across secondary and post-secondary classrooms, she has consistently championed equitable, rigorous, and reflective education that honors the lived experiences of students and educators alike. A passionate advocate for justice-centered education, Bunch earned her doctoral degree in Education, Policy, Organization, and Leadership with an emphasis in Diversity and Equity from the University of Illinois. She also holds an M.Ed. in Secondary Education from DePaul University, an M.S. in Gifted Education, and an ESL certification — a testament to her commitment to meeting the diverse needs of learners. She is a National Academy of Education/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellow. At the heart of Bunch's work is the belief that history and storytelling hold transformative power. Her research centers on the oral histories of Black female educators in Mississippi who taught during the Civil Rights era (1954–1970), preserving their narratives as both historical record and source of contemporary wisdom. Through this work, she invites reflection on resistance and the enduring importance of educators as community leaders and cultural stewards.Her other publications include The Magnitude of Us (Teachers College Press, 2024), and Leveraging AI for Human-Centered Learning: Culturally Responsive and Social-Emotional Classroom Practice in Grades 6-12, co-authored with Brittany R. Collins (Routledge, 2025). Whether through scholarship, storytelling, or advocacy, Bunch continues to elevate voices too often left at the margins, reminding us that the most meaningful learning happens when we center humanity, history, and hope.
