Rich and Jim sit down with Nashville drummer, producer, and drum tech Jeff Brown (Shrug Sound Studio) for a deep dive into a working musician's reality: from opening for Rush and Van Halen to teching the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, tuning for stadiums, building a home studio career, and navigating divorce, burnout, and late-bloomer success.Jeff shares stories from early days in Anaheim clubs, cruise ship gigs at 18, Nashville's legendary 12th & Porter era, and playing with artists like Phil Vassar, Thomas Rhett, Steel Magnolia, Tom Kiefer, and more.

What happens when AI stops being impressive in demos—and starts helping us fight cancer, transform how companies operate, and attract hundreds of billions of dollars in investment?That shift may already be underway. This week brought some of the strongest signals yet that AI's impact is moving beyond better chatbots. From personalized cancer treatments and dramatically earlier detection to autonomous business workflows and AI-powered scientific research, the conversation is increasingly about measurable outcomes.For business leaders, there's an equally important takeaway: the competitive advantage may no longer come from choosing the “best” AI model. It may come from giving AI the right context about your business.Anthropic's own sales team provides a striking example. By connecting Claude to systems including Salesforce, Apollo, Common Room, and Gong, the company reports cutting manual work by 70%. The lesson is simple: smarter models help, but AI becomes dramatically more useful when it understands your data, workflows, processes, and preferences.And that's only the beginning.In this session, you'll discover:Why new developments in personalized mRNA cancer treatment could represent an important milestone for AI-assisted healthcare.How AI is helping researchers detect and understand cancer earlier and with greater precision.How Anthropic is using AI workflows to reduce manual sales work by 70%.How AI systems are beginning to learn the way people work and turn repetitive activities into automations.How increasingly capable open models could dramatically change the cybersecurity threat landscape.How AI is accelerating drug discovery and complex scientific analysis.How AI-assisted coding and agentic development continue to change software creation.Why an extraordinary amount of capital is flowing into AI infrastructure and applications—including a proposed $500B financing platform around NVIDIA infrastructure, Databricks' $5B raise, and major funding rounds across the ecosystem.About Leveraging AIMulti-Agent Orchestration Course: https://multiplai.ai/multi-agent-orchestration-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Nearly every marketing leader has been told to "do more with AI" — and many of them are now sitting on a pile of pilots, a growing bill, and not much to show their CFO. So why is it that adoption of AI in marketing is so high, while the number of organizations actually getting predictable returns from it is so low?Agility requires the discipline to reimagine how work gets done before automating it — because pointing AI at a broken process just produces a faster broken process.Today, we're going to talk about:- Why so many enterprise AI initiatives stall between ambition and production, and what separates the organizations that succeed from the ones that quietly cancel their projects- How marketing and CX teams can move from disconnected experiments to a governed, agent-powered operating model that turns a brief into live 1:1 engagement- How to make the economics of AI predictable — so the people approving these investments can actually forecast both outcomes and costTo help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Don Schuerman, CTO & Head of Marketing at Pega.
