In this episode of Beyond The Loop, Dr. Patty Lindstrom, Founder of Creative Logic, and Bill Pasmore, Professor of Practice in Social Organizational Psychology at Columbia University, explore how purpose can transform everyday work into meaningful impact. Drawing on her doctoral research and book, Purpose at Work, Patty introduces a practical, evidence-based model showing how organizations that operationalize purpose build three critical conditions: Clarity in direction, decisions, and priorities; Confidence through trust, shared values, and collaboration; and Commitment to sustainable performance and resilience over time. The conversation moves beyond inspiration to application, examining how leaders embed purpose into strategy, culture, and daily decision-making to drive coordinated execution, meaningful innovation, and long-term value creation. From what happens when clarity, confidence, or commitment breaks down, to how the best leaders activate purpose across their organizations, this episode offers a roadmap for why purpose is no longer optional — it's foundational.

Send us Fan MailThe path to a local purchase used to be a straight line. It isn't anymore. Damian Rollison, Senior Director of Market Insights at SOCi, joins Greg Sterling and Mike Blumenthal to unpack SOCi's third annual consumer study and the idea at its center: the verification loop. Consumers now bounce among search, social, AI, and review sites — corroborating a choice before they act — and this year AI posted the single biggest behavior jump the survey has ever recorded.We get into the numbers that matter for local marketers: AI usage for local research leaping from 9% to 52% year over year, the 81% of consumers who verify an AI recommendation before acting, why search *gained* ground even as AI exploded, and how the "where do you start" question breaks down very differently across restaurants, financial services, healthcare, property, and fuel & auto. Plus the practitioner reality check — habitual vs. one-time local behavior, the blind spot in last-click attribution, and the short list of surfaces that actually move AI visibility.Subscribe to our newsletters and other content at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/
In March, 2023, the Department of Justice says Jawad H. Hakeem used a handgun to rob a Chase Bank in the River North neighborhood and a Fifth Third Bank in the Loop. In the second robbery, the DOJ says Hakeem fired shots at a security guard, who was not wounded. Hakeem was arrested that same month and has been in custody since. This year, the 51-year-old Hakeem pleaded guilty to federal bank robbery and firearm charges. The DOJ says last week a judge sentenced Hakeem to 19 years in federal prison.
It's been almost a year since the launch of Operation Midway Blitz – a surge in immigration enforcement that led to Chicagoans being apprehended, beaten, shot and even killed by heavily-armed, masked agents roving through residential neighborhoods. Additionally, the agents often escalated situations by using tear gas on residents who were gathered to document ICE activity. In the Loop sits down with rapid responders to hear what's changed since Midway Blitz, and what immigration enforcement looks like now.GUESTS: Cristóbal Cavazos, executive director, Casa DuPage Workers Center Antonio Gutierrez, strategic coordinator, Organized Communities Against Deportations For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.
BONUS: How Scrum Masters Can Use AI Without Becoming the Human API AI is already changing the practical, everyday work of Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches. In this BONUS episode, Vasco talks with Fred Deichler about moving from curiosity to real AI-supported workflows: finding team signals faster, preparing better conversations, keeping documentation in sync, and staying focused on outcomes instead of just producing more output. From Automation to an AI Sparring Partner "I have this partner I can work with to help me ideate things." Fred's journey into AI started before the current AI wave, with automation in Jira and the practical need to surface bottlenecks without manually watching every board. The turning point came when ChatGPT stopped feeling like a search box and started acting like a thinking partner. Faced with a team being pushed toward multiple sprint goals, Fred dumped the context into AI and asked for three to five options instead of one "right answer." That shift helped him move from a deterministic mindset into a problem-solving mindset, using AI to explore options, challenge his own assumptions, and prepare a better conversation with the team. The Monday Morning AI Context Builder "It instantly sets that context for me. It sets that tone for the whole week." Fred describes his weekly workflow as a very practical use of AI: on Monday morning, he opens Cursor and works with his own AI harness, Atlas. Atlas is built from markdown files containing persona, skills, history, meeting transcripts, notes, and Jira data. When Fred says "good morning," the system pulls the most relevant signals forward: aging work items, backlog health, sprint goals, and where the next team conversation should focus. Instead of starting the week by hunting for data, Fred starts with questions he can bring into the first stand-up: what is stuck, what needs refinement, and what risk is already visible? Making Flow Metrics Visible Inside Jira "If you're on a page, what do you hope you could learn without asking?" Beyond using AI as a thinking partner, Fred used AI to build a Chrome extension that surfaces useful Jira insights directly where the team already works. On the active sprint board, it shows work in progress, aging items, sprint goals, and sprint changes. In the backlog, it exposes backlog health and epic health. On the sprint report page, it adds cycle time per item so the retrospective can move from generic discussion to concrete learning. The point is not to shame the team with metrics. The point is to make the right conversation easier to start: what caused this item to take seven days, what blocked it, and what do we want to learn from that? AI as Extra Eyes and Ears for Team Conversations "It helps make sure that we don't lose sight of these things I can bring back to the team." Fred also uses AI agents to review meeting transcripts and look for patterns that are easy to miss in the flow of daily work. The system can notice hesitation, unresolved topics, or a requirement problem that was mentioned once and never followed up. For retrospectives, Fred's Atlas setup can review sprint transcripts around day nine of the sprint and suggest themes for the next retro. It can even generate prompts for a visual retrospective board in Copilot or a Miro board from a prompt. This helps Fred avoid relying only on recency bias and creates a better starting point for the conversation the team actually needs. Keep the Human in the Loop, Especially for Outcomes "It's not about building a faster hammer. It's about identifying the outcome you're going for." A major warning in the episode is that AI can make Scrum Masters faster at producing more of the same: more notes, more summaries, more documents, more reports. Fred argues that the useful question is not "can we automate this exact process?" but "what outcome are we trying to achieve?" In a Jira-to-Azure DevOps migration, for example, the goal was not to reproduce the current time-tracking process perfectly. The goal was to provide the information accounting needed. That outcome focus keeps the human accountable for direction, judgment, and value, while AI helps explore better ways to get there. The SPOT Framework for Finding AI Opportunities "If it meets three or four of those, this is a great opportunity for an automation to free me up to do that more human-centric work." Fred uses a simple filter, the SPOT framework, to decide what AI should help with and what should remain human-led. A task is a good candidate when it is simple, predictable, observable, and tedious. Simple means it requires low human judgment and could be explained on an index card. Predictable means it happens repeatedly, either on a schedule or triggered by an event. Observable means the needed data is available to the agent and not locked away in someone's head or behind policy. Tedious means it consumes energy without adding much human value. When a task matches most of those criteria, Fred looks for ways AI can handle the toil while he stays focused on facilitation, coaching, and decision-making. A Small Experiment Scrum Masters Can Try Tomorrow "If a Scrum Master finds himself operating as, like, I'm moving data from point A to point B, that is a great opportunity to say, how might we do this?" Fred's concrete advice is to start by noticing where you have become the "human API": moving data between tools, updating spreadsheets, copying information into reports, or keeping documents manually aligned with reality. Write down one tedious workflow and ask your approved work AI, "How might we automatically populate this, while keeping me in the loop?" Vasco adds a useful ideation tip: if the first five ideas are not good enough, ask for five more without repetition, then five more again. The goal is not to hand over accountability. The goal is to discover what might be possible and choose one safe, small experiment. Resources for Scrum Masters Exploring AI "It's all about building up your own idea of what's possible to start those how-might-we conversations." For listeners who want to keep learning, Fred recommends The AI Daily Brief as a way to stay current with what is happening in AI, and Jack Roberts' YouTube channel for practical ideas around personal AI and agent-based workflows. Fred also points listeners to his own work at Triforce Agility, where he shares blog posts, resources, and updates about his talks. He will be speaking at the Kansas City Developers Conference in early September about AI and career progression, and at Scrum Day in Madison, Wisconsin in October about how AI impacts Scrum Master roles.

They said nothing would change. Then everything did.Sam Wakefield and Josh Baca have both lived the private equity acquisition from the front lines. Not from the boardroom.

The Liberated Life - Set Yourself Free in Business and Pleasure
Most of us think we're good at reading people — until something hits a nerve. Here's the quiet truth: you already know the truth about the person you're trying to figure out. You've just decided to believe the promise instead of the pattern. In this episode, I break down the difference between a pattern (what's already happened, more than once, without you asking) and a promise (what only lives in words) — and why reasonable, thoughtful people are the ones who stay the longest. It's not a romance problem. It's the same move in love, in friendship, and in business. I tell you the true stories that taught me this the hard way — including the fraudulent buyer we gave grace to for months while she quietly took everything, and why we let it happen: we weren't believing her, we were believing the sale. A promise gets its power not from the person making it, but from how badly you want it to be true. If you caught Episode 99, this is its companion — that one was about the conversations you replay; this one is about the promises you keep believing anyway. Take the free 4-minute quiz — how you specifically handle this under pressure: quittingculture.com/quiz If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Mara Senn, founder and CEO of Ethakos, about her path from big law and a decade as a partner at Arnold & Porter to anti-corruption work at the Kleptocracy Initiative, investigations at the World Bank, and in-house leadership roles at Fortune 500 medical device and pharma companies. Senn explains she built the Ethakos compliance investigations platform using “vibe coding” with Claude, reducing reliance on software engineers and enabling rapid product decisions. She describes Ethakos as AI-native and human-in-the-loop, designed around how compliance teams actually work, with cleaner data creation, configurable workflows, and features that automate painful reporting tasks (e.g., investigation updates) and first drafts of chronologies, interview outlines, and reports. Senn emphasizes audibility via logs and citations, advises starting AI projects with clear risk goals, and predicts AI will remove menial work so teams can cover more risks while becoming more data- and tech-forward.

In this episode, Andrew McNamara, VP of Applied ML at Shopify, returns to unpack how much has changed in agentic commerce since his last episode. Andrew and Liam dig into why agents are becoming "the new front door to commerce," why orders coming to Shopify stores from AI are up 13x, and what's actually happening inside Shopify's personalized shopping agent in the Shop app. They also get into the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and why AI commerce is growing 9x faster than social commerce did at the same stage, how Sidekick's architecture and app extensions work, and SimGym, Shopify's system for training AI shoppers to A/B test store changes before they ever reach a real customer. Key Topics Covered How shopping is shifting from stores and desktops toward agents as "the new front door to commerce" Why orders coming to Shopify stores from AI are up 13x, and why catalog-powered AI search converts twice as well as general AI search Inside Shop app's personalized shopping agent, and how it learns different shopping personas (like shopping for a pet versus a child) Why customers are shifting from keyword searches to natural language queries, and the higher conversion rates that come with it Why Shopify keeps shopping data personalized to the individual user rather than training it into a larger internal model What the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is, and why AI commerce is growing 9x faster than social commerce and 3x faster than mobile did at the same stage The story of Shopify's CEO giving his own Hermes agent a budget so it can send him gifts in the mail Sidekick's app extensions, and how partners like Klaviyo and Loop plugged in at launch Campaign Autopilot's "auto research loop," and its parallels to reinforcement learning SimGym, and how Shopify trains AI shoppers to A/B test store changes before running them on real customers Why Sidekick runs on Anthropic's Sonnet model hosted on Google Cloud, and why that choice is model agnostic Andrew's own habit of shopping by taking pictures throughout the week and searching by image through UCP-connected agents Episode Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and welcome 00:29 - What's changed in AI and shopping since their last conversation 01:47 - Agents becoming "the new front door to commerce" 04:16 - Inside Shop app's personalized shopping agent 07:32 - Why data stays personalized to each shopper instead of training a larger model 11:53 - What the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is, and orders from AI up 13x 14:58 - Merchant tooling for tracking AI-driven traffic and conversions 15:55 - The story of Tobi's Hermes agent sending him gifts in the mail 20:48 - Andrew's own habit of shopping by taking pictures and searching by image 26:59 - Sidekick's app extensions and partner integrations 33:02 - Inside Sidekick's architecture: the Sonnet model and knowledge base 35:18 - Campaign Autopilot's auto research loop 38:58 - SimGym: training AI shoppers to test store changes 42:23 - What's next for Shopify's agentic commerce features 44:17 - Where to find Andrew Andrew's Socials: Twitter (X) - https://x.com/DrewCH LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmcnamara1/ Partner Links Upgrade your AI toolkit: https://www.theaireport.ai/ai-executive-pass Subscribe to our free newsletter: https://newsletter.theaireport.ai/subscribe Join the community: https://community.theaireport.ai/checkout/the-ai-report-welcome-gift?coupon_code=WRTH Learn more about your ad choices.

Surprise we’re back earlier than usual to recap all the recent theme park announcements. The post Announcement Season Has Arrived appeared first on In the Loop.
Have you ever picked up an assessment and thought, “This still isn't giving me the information I need?”That's why I'm so excited to introduce you to the Meaningful Outcomes Treatment and Assessment Scale, or MOTAS. Dr. Anika Hoybjerg shares how she and co-creator Casey Barron developed a comprehensive assessment that keeps meaningful, individualized outcomes at the center.What immediately stood out to me is how practical and approachable the MOTAS feels. It addresses areas like communication, flexibility, social behavior, transitions, personal care, leisure, self-awareness, and perspective taking. There is also an Early Learner version that incorporates developmental milestones and AAC considerations.I especially love the LOOP interviews, which bring clients, caregivers, and other professionals directly into treatment planning. Instead of assuming what matters most, we can ask, prioritize, and continue checking whether our goals are actually meaningful. That collaboration can make such a difference in creating functional treatment plans that support independence and quality of life.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How the MOTAS fills gaps Dr. Hoybjerg noticed in existing assessmentsUsing LOOP interviews to prioritize meaningful goals with clients and caregiversHow the MOTAS supports individualized, collaborative treatment planningWho can use the MOTAS and why it was designed to be approachable for cliniciansMentioned In This Episode:Get the MOTASABA Education CenterSay It With Me by Rose GriffinAAC Mastery for SLPs and BCBAsEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

We also talk about how to know whether you have the wrong person or they simply haven't been led well, the conversations too many founders avoid, and how to create a culture of clear expectations without becoming a micromanager.

In 2014, President Barack Obama stepped up to the podium in the White House Briefing Room to update the country on the economy, foreign policy and more. But all anyone could seem to talk about was the president's fashion choice for the day. The president, known for usually wearing a navy or gray suit, made a rare fashion divergence – one that was described as everything from hands “cool” to “unpresidential.” But where is that suit now? We hear about a veteran Sun-Times reporter's cross-country mission to locate the infamous suit.GUESTS: Lynn Sweet, Chicago Sun-Times special correspondentTerrell Frazier, lead interviewer for the Obama Presidential Oral HistoryFor a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.
The Liberated Life - Set Yourself Free in Business and Pleasure
This is the 100th episode of The Liberated Life. A hundred conversations about freeing yourself from what quietly drains you — and this one is about the thing underneath all of them: closing what needs an ending. One morning I went live, said what I came to say — and then couldn't find the button to end it. The control was hidden behind something else on the screen. So I did what capable, overwhelmed people do with the things they can't figure out how to close: I shut the laptop and hoped it had ended itself in the background. It didn't. It kept running. Still live, still draining — even after I looked away. That hidden button has a name. It's an open loop: a conversation, a promise, a decision, or a commitment that needed an ending and didn't get one. In this episode, I walk through what Open Loops are, why they cost you far more than their size, and how to close one. In this episode: • Why the things we walk away from keep running in the background • What an Open Loop actually is — and why a five-minute task can take up five days of your head • The four types: task, decision, relational (the "Unspoken Broken"), and self • How Open Loops get created (a late-night FaceTime from Australia taught me mine) • CLOSE — a simple way to close a loop on purpose: Capture, Locate, Observe, Speak, End/Evolve/Honor • PEACE — how to have the conversation when the loop is between you and someone else You don't have to overhaul your life. Pick your loudest Open Loop. Close it. That's where your energy comes back. Free tools at closetheloopsnow.com — a short quiz on how you communicate under pressure, the Close One Loop walkthrough, and the Difficult Conversation Simulator (try.pplskillz.com) to practice the conversation before you have it. From Robin Quinn Keehn, author of Stop Stealing From Yourself. If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.
