Podcasts about Management

Is it possible for us to ever wholeheartedly trust a machine the way we would a human? According to Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection, the answer is no. And that's what stops us from being able to emotionally connect with AI chatbots.In this episode of Pioneers of AI, host Rana el Kaliouby and Duhigg dissect what's really happening when people confide in ChatGPT and why real connection depends on reciprocity and vulnerability, two things AI can't offer.Follow Pioneers of AI on all channels: https://linktr.ee/pioneersofaiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

L'intelligence artificielle bouscule les équilibres internes et impose une transformation du management à grande échelle. L'automatisation des tâches pose une urgence immédiate. Il faut réinventer les compétences avant la disparition des emplois.Dans cet épisode, Delphine Zanelli reçoit Maryjo Charbonnier, Chief Human Resource Officer de Kyndryl.L'introduction de nouvelles technologies génère systématiquement de l'anxiété au sein des équipes. Chez Kyndryl, l'automatisation transforme radicalement les emplois puisque, comme l'explique la dirigeante, "nous avons déjà libéré 15 000 personnes à cause de l'utilisation de l'IA". Cette transformation du management exige une réponse organisationnelle précise pour maintenir la confiance. La fonction ressources humaines se retrouve en première ligne pour anticiper les suppressions de tâches, inventorier les expertises existantes et redéployer les individus vers des missions à plus forte valeur ajoutée.Ce défi management repose sur une anticipation minutieuse. Face aux ruptures, l'entreprise intervient en amont. Maryjo Charbonnier précise cette méthode en affirmant que "nous pouvons commencer à vous reskiller avant que votre travail de client s'arrête". La transformation du management s'opère par des outils de mesure continue et une acculturation globale. Les encadrants intègrent l'intelligence artificielle dans leurs objectifs avec la responsabilité de guider leurs collaborateurs vers de nouveaux apprentissages.L'organisation s'appuie également sur des mécanismes transparents d'évaluation. L'entreprise déploie des plateformes numériques qui génèrent automatiquement les questions d'évaluation pour libérer les managers de la charge cognitive. La pratique managériale évolue pour systématiser les retours constructifs à tous les niveaux car "le feedback est le moteur de notre progrès", rappelle la dirigeante. En parallèle, la reconnaissance devient un processus social et visible par tous pour nourrir l'engagement des collaborateurs.Membre du board du SHRM et rodée aux scissions d'entreprises mondiales, Maryjo Charbonnier conçoit son métier de manager depuis le terrain des crises. Elle aborde la transformation DRH avec un prisme ultra pragmatique en encourageant les équipes à se positionner là où l'entreprise souffre, car "les exécutifs tendent disproportionnellement à passer leur temps sur des choses qui ne fonctionnent pas". Face à l'incertitude technologique, elle rappelle une vérité individuelle. "La seule chose qui est dans votre contrôle, c'est votre rythme d'apprentissage".Cet épisode donne des éléments concrets pour anticiper l'impact de l'intelligence artificielle sur les compétences, déployer une culture du retour d'information continu et structurer la requalification des collaborateurs.CHAPITRAGE :(00:00) Le grand spin-off d'IBM et l'ère de l'IA (02:26) La méthode pour anticiper et inventorier (07:22) Auto-évaluation et confiance des équipes (12:13) Les quatre nouvelles missions du manager (19:16) Rendre le feedback simple et social (31:52) Pourquoi chercher la chaleur et la crise

DigitalOcean just raised its 2026 growth guidance to 30–31%, and the stock sold off anyway.In this episode we work through what DigitalOcean's (DOCN) Q2 update actually changed. Management lifted full-year 2026 revenue guidance from 25–27% to 30–31% and pointed to a possible 50%+ growth rate exiting fiscal 2027. The driver is a scaling cohort of large enterprise and developer customers landing in a supply-constrained compute market — the same capacity bottleneck hyperscalers like Microsoft have flagged around data center construction.We cover the shift from an SMB cloud provider toward a developer and enterprise-scaler platform, why the co-location approach gives it an edge over hyperscalers building from the ground up, and how management reworked the balance sheet by retiring convertible debt, raising cash, and continuing buybacks. We also run a DCF scenario assuming a 36% five-year per-share profit CAGR, and talk through why the move from small-cap to midcap matters for a fundamentals-first thesis.For the reasoning behind more names like this one, Semiconductor Insider covers the process in more depth.

L'IA est désormais partout. Elle a envahit notre quotidien.Et si le vrai enjeu derrière tout cela était aussi d'apprendre à penser ? Retrouver le vide, reconnecter avec le silence et penser à nouveau. Ce n'est pas la première fois que nous parlions d'IA avec Lucie Dhorne. Il y a quelques années, elle nous avait expliqué comment l'utiliser comme un véritable assistant pédagogique. Mais aujourd'hui, en 2026, on va plus loin.On parle de cognition, d'apprentissage, de créativité, et surtout d'un risque encore trop peu adressé : celui de déléguer notre capacité à réfléchir. Parce que oui, utiliser l'IA, ce n'est pas neutre. Est-ce qu'on s'augmente vraiment ou est-ce qu'on s'affaiblit sans s'en rendre compte ? Jusqu'où déléguer sans perdre son esprit critique ?

Key Points: Tricuspid regurgitation is common and associated with increased mortality at every stage, regardless of etiology. Outcomes are worse with worsening severity, so accurate grading is critical. Etiology is critical to guide treatment decisions. Etiology includes primary vs secondary (atrial or ventricular) vs CIED-related TR. 3D echocardiography can be very helpful in determining TR etiology, especially in CIED-related TR. Diuresis with the goal of euvolemia is step one. Additionally, underlying contributory conditions (eg. pulmonary HTN, HFrEF, atrial fibrillation) should be addressed, if appropriate, and then TR severity reassessed. The choice between T-TEER and TTVR hinges on anatomy, RV function, pulmonary hypertension, and the ability to tolerate anticoagulation. T-TEER is generally first line in atrial functional TR with appropriate anatomy, in patients with poor RV function who cannot tolerate a sudden increase in RV afterload, or in patients who cannot tolerate the necessary anticoagulation with TTVR. TTVR is preferred with wide coaptation gaps and CIED-related TR. This is a team sport. Multidisciplinary discussions utilizing imaging (TTE/TEE, CT), risk scores (TRI-SCORE or TRIO), patient preference, and prior institutional experience are essential for the effective treatment of severe TR. Notes: What is the clinical importance of tricuspid regurgitation? TR is very common with approximately 4% of people over 75 having moderate or greater severity. TR (even mild) is associated with increased mortality. Those outcomes worsen as the TR severity worsens, and this phenomenon is independent of the mechanism of regurgitation. What is unique about the tricuspid valve compared to the other cardiac valves? It is at an anterior location which allows it to be imaged well with transthoracic echocardiography It is the largest valve and composed generally of 3 leaflets (but very often can have 4+ leaflets). Importantly, the RV is compliant and changes size and shape readily based on loading conditions. The TV annulus similarly changes size and shape based on hemodynamic conditions such as preload. What is a good framework for approaching the causes of tricuspid regurgitation? Determine the presence and define the severity of TR. Using TTE, we want to measure the right atrial size, the RV size, and any other concomitant valvular lesions.  Use TTE (2D and 3D) to characterize leaflet anatomy and characteristics. Subtypes of TR mechanisms (many times etiology is mixed). Primary: primary leaflet abnormality, occurs in ~10% of cases. Look for prolapse, flail, endocarditis, etc. Secondary/functional: leaflets normal but surrounding structures are abnormal. Atrial: RA and tricuspid annular dilation but normal RV size/shape, and can be related to arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation. Ventricular: RV dilated and/or dysfunctional with leaflet tethering. Can be related to pulmonary hypertension or primary RV disease. Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED): Related to device (usually pacemakers or ICD) interaction with TV leaflets. Includes perforation, entanglement in subvalvular apparatus, impingement, etc. 3D TTE particularly helpful to evaluate How do we grade TR severity? It is very important to grade the severity of TR, and this is generally done with echocardiography. There are both quantitative and qualitative methods which use Doppler and various equations to estimate TR severity. Current recommendations have expanded TR severity beyond mild/moderate/severe to include “massive” and “torrential” categories. The most important parameters measured/calculated are vena contracta width, regurgitant volume, regurgitant fraction, and effective regurgitant orifice area. Helpful qualitative metrics include hepatic venous flow reversal. When should additional studies beyond transthoracic echocardiography, such as transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), cardiac computed tomography (CT), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) be pursued? TEE is particularly helpful if TTE views are poor. Since TEE is used during transcatheter intervention, a pre-procedure TEE to define anatomy, determine procedure candidacy, and plan for the procedure is critical.  CT is also helpful for procedure planning and has particular strengths in defining annulus size and geometry. A CT is required prior to transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR). MRI is helpful for measuring RV volumes and function, but is not generally used to assess TR severity.  What is the approach to the treatment for severe tricuspid regurgitation? The first step is to try to determine the etiology. For secondary TR, treating the underlying condition is indicated. For example, pulmonary vasodilators for pulmonary HTN or guideline therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Diuretics are the mainstay for treatment, with the goal to obtain euvolemia. This may require inpatient admission to optimize volume status and medication regimen. Once reversible etiologies are addressed, if the patient is still symptomatic from TR, additional therapies can be considered. What is the role of right heart catheterizations (RHC) in patients with severe TR? RHC is very helpful for many reasons. We use it in TR to help determine volume status, cardiac output, and RV function. Additionally, identifying and characterizing pulmonary hypertension (with pulmonary artery pressures and calculating pulmonary vascular resistance) is an important factor when choosing future therapies.  With severe tricuspid regurgitation, when should we refer for intervention (either with surgery or transcatheter repair or replacement)? Once reversible etiologies are addressed and euvolemia has been achieved, if the patient is still symptomatic from TR despite aggressive medical optimization, additional therapies can be considered. Once euvolemic, a repeat TTE should be ordered to reassess the severity of the TR. Use calculators (for example, either the TRI-SCORE or TRIO score) to predict operative mortality for isolated TR surgery. What are our transcatheter treatment options in severe tricuspid regurgitation, and how do we choose between them? The primary approved transcatheter treatment options for severe TR include transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) and transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), of which the Edwards EVOQUE valve is the only one currently approved by the FDA. There are other TTVR device under investigation. These decisions should be made with a multi-disciplinary team including representation from cardiac imaging, interventional cardiology, and cardiothoracic surgery. Factors that go into the decision between T-TEER and TTVR include anatomy (annulus width, coaptation gap, leaflet length), RV reserve, pulmonary hypertension presence, ability to tolerate anticoagulation, patient preference, and institutional experience.  T-TEER is generally the first line with atrial functional and suitable anatomy. It is successful at reducing TR but does not generally eliminate it.  TTVR with EVOQUE is preferred in certain anatomic considerations like a large coaptation gap or when there is CIED-related TR (as this was excluded in T-TEER trials). Patients must be suitable for anticoagulation to receive TTVR as there is risk of leaflet thrombosis without it. If moderate/severe pulmonary hypertension is present, or there is poor RV function, TTVR may be avoided as the sudden elimination of TR causes a sudden increase in RV afterload which may not be tolerated. What is the role in advanced metrics for evaluating RV function? Advanced metrics like RV/PA coupling are under investigation but have not made it into the guidelines. The clinical utility is not yet known.  Assessing the RV function is important as stated above. Dr. Mankad prefers using 3D TTE to calculate an RVEF, or tracking RV longitudinal free wall strain. If you do encounter CIED-related TR, how do you treat it? Evaluate with TTE or TEE. 3D is very helpful to identify relative anatomy and leaflet-device interactions. There is no clear consensus about treatment if CIED-related TR is the primary mechanism of severe TR. If recently implanted, repositioning may be a valid option, but requires discussions with multiple teams including electrophysiology, advanced cardiac imaging, CT surgery, and interventional cardiology.

Steve Thompson, Senior Director of Admissions at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, is back to talk more about MBA admissions and trends in the latest episode of the Clear Admit MBA Admissions Podcast.

What if the young employee you think is underperforming is responding to the expectations of the manager leading them?   Construction companies put enormous effort into recruiting young talent, bringing in interns, paying referral bonuses, and onboarding new employees. But one decision can dramatically influence whether that investment pays off: who manages them first.   In this episode, Bradley Hartmann explores the Pygmalion Effect. The idea that a leader's expectations can influence how they treat people, shaping employees' self-belief, behavior, and ultimately their performance. For young professionals whose identities and confidence are still developing, those expectations can be especially powerful.   In this episode you'll learn Why a young employee's first manager can become one of the most influential leaders of their entire career and why assigning new talent shouldn't be treated as an administrative decision. How high expectations can elevate performance while the opposite—the Golem Effect—can cause young employees to internalize a manager's low expectations and perform accordingly. Why construction leaders should rethink how they assign managers to interns and early-career employees, choosing leaders who genuinely want to challenge, teach, develop, and invest in them.   Play the episode to learn how choosing the right manager, and setting the right expectations, can help your young talent see and achieve potential they may not yet see in themselves.   Read Pygmailion in Management by J.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane breaks down NVIDIA’s case for world action models, the shift that swaps a robot’s picture-describing backbone for one trained to predict what happens next. He also covers Perseverance closing in on the off-world driving record, a derelict SpaceX rocket stage hitting the Moon, and Anthropic’s rework of Claude Fable 5’s biology safeguards. Finally, he digs into Gemini Omni, Google’s undisclosed trip-planning rankings, the Danube’s record low, and iFixit’s call for Apple to unlock the iPad bootloader. – Want to start a podcast?

Wildfires in Eastern Oregon made for a rough week of heavy smoke, and a local building burned down, which he calls a real tragedy. Meanwhile, his work at Blubrry has centered on PowerPress fixes, where reproducing customer-reported bugs remains the biggest headache. Support tickets rarely carry enough detail, and the errors themselves are often too vague to diagnose. Consequently, he is leaning toward a stronger logging and error layer, and he asks experienced developers to share what actually works for them. Beyond VLAs: NVIDIA’s Case for World Action Models The featured story comes from NVIDIA’s developer blog, and it answers a question sitting underneath this year’s robot news. Why do robot arms fall apart the moment anything changes? Move a cup six inches, swap its shape, or change the lighting, and a policy that worked perfectly in training fails. The answer, according to NVIDIA, is not the robot but the model underneath it. For the last few years, the dominant approach has been the vision-language-action model, or VLA, built on an AI that originally learned to describe pictures. Consequently, it recognizes a banana it has never seen, in a kitchen it has never seen, yet it has no idea what that banana will do next. As the article puts it, such a model “does not learn what happens to a mug when the gripper closes, how a towel folds, where an object lands when released.” Because the physics never arrives with the model, every scrap of it has to come out of hand-recorded demonstrations. The proposed fix swaps the foundation entirely. Instead of building on a model that learned to caption images, a world action model builds on one trained to predict how video continues, so the physics is already paid for. Notably, these models output an action and a prediction of what the robot’s cameras will see, in the same pass. Cochrane likens it to forethought, imagining your own motion as you make it. NVIDIA’s implementation is Cosmos 3, pretrained on roughly 767 million images and 348 million videos of real-world dynamics. It ships in 4, 16, and 64 billion parameter sizes named Edge, Nano, and Super, and it runs in real time on a Jetson Thor board bolted to the robot itself. Cochrane recalls his dad owning one of those Jetson boards, and he asks anyone working in robotics to explain how the throughput figures fit together. However, he closes on an open question: where did 348 million videos actually come from? For deeper detail, he points listeners to the source article and to NVIDIA researcher Jim Fan.

Perseverance Closes In on the Off-World Driving Record Ars Technica reports that NASA’s Perseverance rover is about to take the record for most distance driven on another world. The mark sits at roughly 28 miles, set by NASA’s own Opportunity rover across more than fourteen years before it went quiet in 2018. As Cochrane works out on air, that averages about two miles a year. Perseverance will pass it in roughly five years instead. The difference is a navigation system called AutoNav. Since a radio signal takes several minutes to reach Mars, earlier rovers crept along pre-plotted routes and stopped every half meter to think. Perseverance carries a second computer dedicated to processing what its cameras see, so it plans while the wheels keep turning. Consequently, about ninety percent of its driving is autonomous, against roughly ten percent for Curiosity, and it averages around 110 meters an hour rather than 15 to 18. Cochrane notes researchers finding the rover at planned sites days ahead of schedule, and he wonders aloud whether world action models might drive the next one. A SpaceX Rocket Stage Slammed Into the Moon Next, Smithsonian Magazine covered the Falcon 9 upper stage that struck the Moon on August 5. That stage flew back in January 2025, carrying Firefly’s Blue Ghost and ispace’s Resilience landers, and it was never meant to end up there. SpaceX’s Julianna Scheiman says a mixture of solar activity and gravity nudged the derelict onto a lunar path after nineteen months adrift. Four tonnes of dead hardware arrived at about 5,400 miles per hour. Nobody watched it happen, and the reason is a nice bit of physics. It struck sunlit ground near a crater called Einstein, and no impact flash has ever been detected on the lit part of the Moon. However, the instruments caught the aftermath. South Korea’s Danuri orbiter imaged a dark new mark, while the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope picked up sodium and lithium in the plume, the lithium possibly shed by the rocket itself. Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell quipped that he has “Sir Isaac Newton’s personal assurance that it did indeed hit the moon,” while planetary scientist Hannah Sargeant warns against making a habit of it. Cochrane points out the Apollo landing sites are still sitting up there. Anthropic Reworks Claude Fable 5’s Biology Safeguards Anthropic published a post on how Claude Fable 5 handles biology questions, and the bind is genuine. Biology is the textbook dual-use problem, since the knowledge behind reading your own lab results also helps someone build a weapon. Rather than refusing outright, a classifier watches for risky requests and quietly reroutes them to Claude Opus 5, a capable model without Fable 5’s biological depth. Anthropic calls that mechanism a fallback. The trouble was how often it fired on people doing nothing wrong. This update cut biology-related fallbacks by roughly 85 percent in Anthropic’s own testing, with expected overall drops of 67 percent on Claude.ai and 55 percent on Cowork. Genuinely dual-use territory still trips it, and Anthropic names virology, toxicology, and molecular design. Cochrane hit the old behavior himself and found it irritating, so he welcomes the refinement. Even so, he would rather see a false positive than a model helping someone produce a virus. Five Builders Put Gemini Omni Through Its Paces Google highlighted five builders working with Gemini Omni. Omni is a model rather than an app, and it generates video from text, images, other video, or audio, while also editing footage you already have. Google claims it “combines an intuitive understanding of physics with Gemini’s real-world knowledge,” citing gravity, kinetic energy, and fluid dynamics. As Cochrane observes, that is the same bet NVIDIA is making with robots, only pointed at video generation instead. He also flags a naming collision worth knowing about. NVIDIA calls its architecture an omni-model while Google’s product is simply Omni, two different things landing in the same week. Additionally, he encourages listeners to watch the demos, though he still senses a disconnect in AI-generated video and concedes that knowing its origin may color the impression. Gemini Wants to Plan Your Vacation Another Gemini piece, a how-to on trip planning, drew Cochrane’s sharpest take of the night. Gemini plugs straight into Google Maps, Flights, and Hotels, pulling live locations, reviews, and prices to build an itinerary. Switch on a feature called Personal Intelligence, and it reads across your Google apps, turning a messy trip-planning email chain into a clean master plan. Clever, but he calls it extremely concerning. Once these become services, he expects partnerships to quietly push particular hotels, restaurants, resorts, and destinations onto users. Notably, Google’s post never explains how any of it gets ranked, and the words sponsored, ad, affiliate, commission, and paid never appear once. There is no disclosure of a commercial arrangement, and no denial of one either. Meanwhile the post hands readers off to Viator to book tours without describing that relationship at all. Cochrane suspects the real effect shows up slowly, in the shape of small businesses continuing to disappear. The Senate Blocks a Rule on Who Controls Research Money Science reports that the Senate passed a temporary spending bill in the early hours of Saturday the 8th. The Senate’s version carries a one-paragraph rider the House version lacks, and that rider stops the White House Office of Management and Budget from finalizing a set of proposed rules. OMB builds the president’s budget, clears agency regulations, and controls how approved money actually reaches agencies. The bill itself is a stopgap, which prevents a shutdown without settling anything. The rules reach every organization that takes federal money, a pot of roughly $1.1 trillion across 41 agencies, about $150 billion of it research grants. They would let political appointees second-guess which grants get funded, allow awarded grants to be pulled when the work does not match presidential priorities, and put several countries off limits for research partnerships, China first among them. Senator Susan Collins pushed the block through after telling OMB director Russell Vought the proposal was deeply flawed, noting nearly 500,000 public comments, the vast majority opposed. However, the 90-6 vote is not law. Both chambers are on recess. Vought reportedly said the rule would not have been finalized before December anyway, and the block only lasts as long as the stopgap, which expires December 11. The Danube Falls to a Record Low ESA published a pair of Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite images showing the same bend of the Danube, 45 kilometers upstream of Budapest, photographed a year apart. Cochrane calls the before-and-after shocking, going from green to brown completely. Wire reports put the Budapest gauge near 10 centimeters at the start of the month, about four inches of water, against a previous record of 33 centimeters set in 2018. The knock-on effects arrived fast. Budapest ran short on both power and drinking water, while the shrinking flow concentrated pollution in what remained. Romania hit record lows on its own stretch as well. Cochrane hopes the recovery is already underway. What a Heatwave Actually Does to the Power Grid That river story runs directly into a Carbon Brief factcheck. Nuclear plants cool themselves with river water, so when the Danube dropped, plants in Hungary and Romania throttled back and pulled roughly 2.5 gigawatts off the grid. Romania declared a state of alert in its energy sector, and its navy reportedly used explosives to steer more water toward a plant intake. Carbon Brief then walked through what heatwaves do to each way of making electricity. Nuclear loses efficiency when the cooling water is already warm, though its shutdowns are mostly regulatory rather than mechanical. Gas turbines pull in less air because hot air is thinner, costing capacity. Wind falls off hardest, since a heatwave is a big stalled dome of high pressure and nearly still air. Solar is the surprise: cells genuinely do get less efficient as they heat up, yet total output climbs anyway, with UK solar up 46 percent during a four-day June heatwave against the week before. Butterflies Are on the Move Everywhere A new study in Nature Ecology and Evolution covered 1,758 butterfly species, roughly one in ten of every species we have named. The team pulled 6,182 records from 105 countries, reading non-English research alongside 68 expert write-ups. Four out of five species pushed into new territory, and about 79 percent of the logged shifts traced back to climate change and extreme weather. Separately, 27 percent saw their range shrink somewhere, and 22 percent moved up or down a mountain slope chasing cooler air. That sounds like good news, and it really is not. Expansion means a boundary moved, not that butterflies are thriving, since a species can push its northern edge forward while its southern edge quietly collapses. Lead author Shawan Chowdhury says the shifts turn up on every continent where butterflies occur. Additionally, monitoring gaps leave Central Africa, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and the Amazon Basin barely counted at all. Cochrane recalls hearing years ago that butterflies were disappearing in Hawaii, and he invites listeners spotting unfamiliar species locally to contribute what they see. Primates Make Friends Across Species Cochrane called this one a fun find. A study in the journal Primates, led by Cyril Grueter at Oxford, gathered 427 documented cases going back to the 1970s across 88 primate species and 127 partner species. Play and grooming dominated at 139 and 136 cases, alongside carrying, huddling, food sharing, and even adoption. Primates usually started the interactions themselves, with juveniles playing most, adult females handling grooming and caregiving, and adult males least likely to join in. The examples are remarkable. Japanese macaques on the island of Yakushima groom sika deer and climb on their backs, a silverback gorilla cradled a tiny wild bushbaby, and wild capuchins in Brazil adopted an infant marmoset in a bond that held for weeks. However, Grueter rejects the pet-keeping headline and prefers the hedged term proto-pet keeping. The actual claim is smaller and more interesting: curiosity, tolerance, caregiving, and play have roots running far deeper than humans do. iFixit Tells Apple to Unlock the iPad Finally, an opinion piece from Charlie Sorrel at iFixit struck a chord. This fall, iPadOS 27 drops support for a batch of older iPads, including the 8th-generation iPad, the third-generation Air, the fifth-generation mini, and the first-generation iPad Pros. Cochrane owns one of those Pros and reports it still works fine. Those devices will not break, but they stop getting OS and security updates until apps abandon them and the battery gives out. The obvious second life is Linux, except the bootloader stays locked. Apple’s iBoot will not load anything else, unlike a Mac, a PC, or most Android phones. Sorrel argues it “should be a user choice, not a vendor choice,” and Cochrane agrees flatly. You own the device, so why does Apple decide what runs on it? He compares the situation to jailbreaking, and he suspects most consumers have never pushed back simply because it never occurs to them. Nevertheless, he hopes an unlock eventually breathes new life into hardware that still works perfectly well. Cochrane wraps with housekeeping: become a GNC Insider at geeknewscentral.com/insider, email geeknews@gmail.com, subscribe to the newsletter, and grab a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com. He thanks GoDaddy for over twenty years of keeping the show on the air, and he signs off wishing listeners a wonderful evening.

In this episode, we sit down with DeeAnn Palin, founder and CEO of On Point Business Solutions, to explore how talent strategy can either drain a business or become a powerful driver of growth. Known as the CEO Whisperer, DeeAnn has spent more than 20 years in executive leadership and over a decade helping founder-led companies avoid costly talent mistakes, improve EBITDA, and prepare for strategic growth and transition. Drawing on her experience leading operations, turnarounds, and transformational growth initiatives, DeeAnn shares why HR is often misunderstood as an expense instead of being leveraged as a strategic business asset. During our time together, we discuss:Why traditional HR is often viewed as a cost center—and how that mindset limits growthThe concept of the “Million Dollar Mistake” and how hidden talent problems quietly erode profitabilityThe role HR should play in helping CEOs achieve long-term growth objectivesHow modern assessment tools and AI can improve leadership effectiveness, team performance, and hiring decisionsWhy organizations should rethink their total rewards strategy rather than focusing solely on compensationHow to solve talent gaps without overspending on the wrong benefits, incentives, or hiresA real-world case study showing how one organization transformed culture, performance, and financial outcomes through strategic talent managementThe importance of Jim Collins' Hedgehog Concept in aligning talent with organizational successThis episode provides practical insights for leaders who want to unlock hidden value in their workforce and build people systems that accelerate business growth.To learn more from DeeAnn visit www.onptbiz.com Request a business X-ray assessmentLearn more about Aptiv Index and strategic talent solutionsConnect with the On Point Business Solutions team

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! In 2017, two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald launched his podcast, Money Making Conversations Master Class. Rushion McDonald’s “Keep Winning” #2 – Key Takeaways In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald shifts the discussion from personal value proposition to building and protecting a business through effective employee management. His message is simple: a great business idea can fail if the wrong people are responsible for executing it. Top Lessons 1. Your Employees Can Make or Break Your Business No matter how strong your product, service, or vision may be, success depends on having the right people helping you deliver it. A weak team can undermine even the strongest value proposition. 2. Five Reasons Companies Struggle to Find Great Employees Keeping poor performers because of personal relationships or loyalty. Hiring repeatedly from the same circle of recommendations. Refusing to admit that hiring mistakes may be coming from leadership. Hiring based solely on experience rather than adaptability. Believing there are no good candidates available. Rushion emphasizes that leadership must take responsibility for the quality of its hiring decisions. 3. Don't Build a Business on Hope Many businesses fail because they operate on optimism rather than planning. Rushion stresses the importance of having: A budget An accountant Human resources processes Clear hiring standards Successful businesses are built on systems, not wishes. 4. Be Willing to Let Employees Go One of the hardest responsibilities of leadership is termination. Rushion advises employers to: Be clear about performance expectations. Document problems. Communicate concerns early. Have witnesses present when necessary. The goal is not punishment but accountability. 5. Poor Customer Service Destroys Value Rushion shares a story about a restaurant where employees displayed poor attitudes, lacked preparation, and failed to serve customers properly. His lesson is that customers judge a company through employee behavior. A business can spend years building its reputation and lose it through poor service. 6. Raise Your Own Value Before Asking for More For employees, Rushion recommends thinking beyond the current position. Instead of focusing only on the job you were hired to do: Look for additional responsibilities. Set higher goals. Become indispensable. Increase your value to the organization. When your value grows, opportunities and compensation often follow. 7. Be Careful Hiring Family Members Rushion identifies several common mistakes: Hiring family simply because they're family. Hiring relatives because you feel sorry for them. Giving jobs to relatives who need financial help. Hiring family members who already owe you money. Hiring someone solely because a parent or relative recommended them. Business decisions should be based on qualifications and fit, not emotions. 8. Use a 90-Day Probation Period Rushion believes a structured probation period helps protect both employer and employee. Key checkpoints include: 30 Days: Review performance and reinforce expectations. 60 Days: Evaluate progress and determine whether improvement is occurring. 90 Days: Decide whether the employee is a long-term fit for the organization. Consistent evaluation prevents small problems from becoming major issues. Keep Winning Quote “Do not let an employee destroy your company. If they do, it's because you let them.” Bottom Line Build your business with the right people. Hold employees accountable. Create systems for hiring and evaluation. Avoid emotional hiring decisions. Protect your value proposition by surrounding yourself with people who help your vision grow. That's how you keep winning. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Even though this is a solo episode, Travis steps in as your guide through one of the most underrated money-making skills: managing your reactions in a world engineered to keep you emotionally hijacked. Drawing from personal stories, psychology, and stoic philosophy, he walks through his BASS Method—Breathe, Ask, Solve, Share—to help you turn everyday frustrations into opportunities for growth, better relationships, and ultimately better decision-making in life and business. On this episode we talk about: How media and marketing are designed to make you feel lonely and “not enough” Why negativity bias makes certain ads and headlines so effective The Victoria's Secret body positivity example and what it reveals about identity and marketing The BASS Method: Breathe, Ask, Solve, Share (Travis's reaction management framework) How to reframe “bad days” and emotional triggers into opportunities for connection and growth Top 3 Takeaways Your environment is saturated with negative messaging, but you can reclaim control by intentionally managing your reactions instead of letting emotions run your day. The BASS Method—take three deep breaths, ask better questions about your feelings, solve from a calm, third-party perspective, and share the win with someone close—helps you build a stronger identity as someone who handles problems with composure. Most events are neutral; your perception creates the story. Learning to interrogate your feelings in the middle of an emotional spike gives you more power, better relationships, and less unnecessary suffering. Notable Quotes “We have to become proficient at distracting ourselves from the distractions.” “Most events are just events. We have the ability to control whether or not we perceive it to be a good or bad event.” “Ultimately, nobody else has power over my emotional state except for me.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell⁠ Twitter/X: ⁠https://twitter.com/traviscchappell⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/travischappell⁠ Other: ⁠https://travischappell.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if happiness is not waiting at the finish line, but found in the journey itself? In this episode of Inspiration Nation, Lee Kemp, Jose Noya and Ryan Boniface explore ambition, personal growth, money, success and the constant desire to achieve more. Through reflections on career goals, financial security, coaching, gaming and everyday routines, they discuss why reaching one milestone often creates another—and why learning to enjoy the challenge may be more fulfilling than chasing a final state of happiness.The episode's central quote is: “It's not the pursuit of happiness; it's the happiness of the pursuit.” It captures the idea that a meaningful life is built through thousands of ordinary moments, not discovered at one perfect destination. Ask yourself: if someone watched your daily routine, would they believe you are happy with the life you are building? Like the episode, subscribe to Inspiration Nation, and leave a review.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! In 2017, two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald launched his podcast, Money Making Conversations Master Class. Rushion McDonald’s “Keep Winning” #2 – Key Takeaways In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald shifts the discussion from personal value proposition to building and protecting a business through effective employee management. His message is simple: a great business idea can fail if the wrong people are responsible for executing it. Top Lessons 1. Your Employees Can Make or Break Your Business No matter how strong your product, service, or vision may be, success depends on having the right people helping you deliver it. A weak team can undermine even the strongest value proposition. 2. Five Reasons Companies Struggle to Find Great Employees Keeping poor performers because of personal relationships or loyalty. Hiring repeatedly from the same circle of recommendations. Refusing to admit that hiring mistakes may be coming from leadership. Hiring based solely on experience rather than adaptability. Believing there are no good candidates available. Rushion emphasizes that leadership must take responsibility for the quality of its hiring decisions. 3. Don't Build a Business on Hope Many businesses fail because they operate on optimism rather than planning. Rushion stresses the importance of having: A budget An accountant Human resources processes Clear hiring standards Successful businesses are built on systems, not wishes. 4. Be Willing to Let Employees Go One of the hardest responsibilities of leadership is termination. Rushion advises employers to: Be clear about performance expectations. Document problems. Communicate concerns early. Have witnesses present when necessary. The goal is not punishment but accountability. 5. Poor Customer Service Destroys Value Rushion shares a story about a restaurant where employees displayed poor attitudes, lacked preparation, and failed to serve customers properly. His lesson is that customers judge a company through employee behavior. A business can spend years building its reputation and lose it through poor service. 6. Raise Your Own Value Before Asking for More For employees, Rushion recommends thinking beyond the current position. Instead of focusing only on the job you were hired to do: Look for additional responsibilities. Set higher goals. Become indispensable. Increase your value to the organization. When your value grows, opportunities and compensation often follow. 7. Be Careful Hiring Family Members Rushion identifies several common mistakes: Hiring family simply because they're family. Hiring relatives because you feel sorry for them. Giving jobs to relatives who need financial help. Hiring family members who already owe you money. Hiring someone solely because a parent or relative recommended them. Business decisions should be based on qualifications and fit, not emotions. 8. Use a 90-Day Probation Period Rushion believes a structured probation period helps protect both employer and employee. Key checkpoints include: 30 Days: Review performance and reinforce expectations. 60 Days: Evaluate progress and determine whether improvement is occurring. 90 Days: Decide whether the employee is a long-term fit for the organization. Consistent evaluation prevents small problems from becoming major issues. Keep Winning Quote “Do not let an employee destroy your company. If they do, it's because you let them.” Bottom Line Build your business with the right people. Hold employees accountable. Create systems for hiring and evaluation. Avoid emotional hiring decisions. Protect your value proposition by surrounding yourself with people who help your vision grow. That's how you keep winning. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

What if the biggest threat to your startup isn't competition, funding, or even product-market fit—but your own management team?In this episode of Liftoff with Keith, I sit down with entrepreneur, investor, and author Hunter Hastings to explore one of the most important—and controversial—ideas in modern entrepreneurship.Hunter is the co-author of Venture Mode: Escape the Administration Trap by Finding and Unleashing Entrepreneurial Leaders, where he argues that companies rarely fail because they grow too quickly. Instead, they lose the entrepreneurial behaviors that made them successful in the first place.As organizations scale, speed gives way to bureaucracy, customer obsession is replaced by internal process, and entrepreneurial leaders become administrators.We dive into what Hunter calls "The Administration Trap"—and how founders can avoid it.In this episode we discuss:Why management—not growth—is often what kills startupsThe earliest warning signs that bureaucracy is taking overHow founders can add structure without losing entrepreneurial cultureWhy customer value—not internal metrics—should drive every decisionHow to identify and empower entrepreneurial leaders inside your companyWhy traditional MBA thinking often fails foundersCash flow, value creation, and building resilient businessesHow AI is changing the economics of startups and leadershipThe biggest misconceptions founders and investors have about scaling companiesHunter's personal lessons from decades as a CEO, investor, executive, and educatorIf you're a founder, executive, investor, or anyone leading a growing company, this conversation offers a fresh framework for scaling without sacrificing innovation.Connect with KeithIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another founder or operator.Follow Liftoff with Keith for conversations with the entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators building the future.Sponsor Info: We are strategic business advisors with decades of leadership experience and a proven track record of driving businesses' growth.

You gotta be able to mirror them." – Sady Ahmed Sady has built a powerhouse business by dominating one of the toughest opportunities in the dealership: Special Finance and credit-challenged customers. But her success goes far beyond simply selling cars. She's built a system around trust, credit education, personal branding, referrals, repeat business, and turning customers who hear "NO" elsewhere into long-term relationships. "If you don't believe that you're the best, how are you going to get other people to believe that you're the best?" – Sady Ahmed Sean and Sady also explore how today's automotive sales professionals can leverage AI, ChatGPT, community involvement, social media, and smarter follow-up strategies to create more opportunities and separate themselves from the competition. "You want the community to support you, you've got to support the community." – Sean V. Bradley How did Sady build a $225K+ income without chasing a management title? What helped her reach a record-breaking 34 cars in a single month? And what can other salespeople learn from her approach to some of the most challenging customers in automotive? Find out how this used car saleswoman earns over $225K in ONE year and the strategies helping her build a career, customer base, and personal brand that continues to grow. If you're serious about selling more cars, generating more referrals, building your brand, and increasing your income in automotive sales, you need to hear this conversation! Key Takeaways: ✅ Credit Mastery: Understanding and mastering credit intricacies play a crucial role in closing deals with subprime clients. ✅ AI Utilization: Using AI tools like ChatGPT can streamline credit analysis and improve customer experiences by drafting dispute letters or enhancing credit advisories. ✅ Personal Branding: Building a personal brand through social media and community engagement is essential for long-term success in automotive sales. ✅ Partnership Opportunities: Collaborations with credit repair firms can be a strategic method to assist clients with challenging credit profiles. ✅ Client Education: Educating clients about credit improvement methods can lead to increased customer loyalty and repeat business.   About Sady Ahmed Sady Ahmed is a top-performing automotive sales consultant specializing in Special Finance at Koons Automotive of Fredericksburg. Since entering the car business in 2019 with no prior automotive experience, she has grown into a consistent 20-car-per-month producer, recently achieving a personal best of 34 vehicles sold in a single month. Known for her honest, relationship-first approach, Sady helps customers navigate challenging credit situations, build stronger financial plans, and find the right path to vehicle ownership. Her success comes from keeping it real, solving problems, and putting long-term customer relationships ahead of simply making a sale.     Unlocking the Potential of Special Finance in the Automotive Industry   Key Takeaways Understanding customer credit intricacies is integral for automotive sales success. Leveraging AI in credit analysis offers enhanced insights for customers with subprime profiles. Personal branding and community engagement are crucial for establishing a successful automotive sales career.   Navigating the Special Finance Ecosystem in Car Sales In the world of automotive sales, special finance remains a challenging but rewarding niche. As the conversation led by Sean V. Bradley with Sadie Ahmed highlights, excelling in this sector involves not just selling cars but mastering the intricacies of credit. Sadie's approach to her work exemplifies the seamless integration of credit counseling within automotive sales, recognizing the importance of being "on their side" for customers with subprime credit scores. Sadie's dedication to special finance stems from her genuine desire to assist people, particularly those deemed 'at risk' or subprime. "I just like helping people. So I feel like when I have a customer that comes to me and they are in that weird spot of like a 550 to a 650, that can change overnight," she asserts. For Sadie, automotive sales are less about pitching a sale and more about "solving a problem," a notion that echoes throughout the interview. This empathetic approach transforms what could be a high-pressure sales interaction into a supportive experience for her clients, setting a standard for the industry. Harnessing AI for Enhanced Credit Analysis in Automotive Sales Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing how dealerships manage special finance operations. Sean Bradley emphasizes the potential of AI tools like ChatGPT in scrutinizing credit reports to advise clients effectively. "You can use, whether it's Claude or it's Google, Gemini or Chat GPT, or if your dealership has its own internal knowledge base, you could actually help Yourself and the prospect by using AI to analyze the credit bureau," Bradley affirms. The integration of AI doesn't stop at just analyzing credit. Sadie elaborates: "I've been doing this for about seven years. So I've learned what banks are looking for…and I've learned the nuances of how to get banks to overlook certain red flags if I can provide just the right context." With AI, sales professionals like Sadie can automate parts of the credit advice process, enhancing their ability to serve clients efficiently and improving the overall customer experience. In a competitive industry where the minutiae of financial history can make or break a sale, leveraging AI for credit analysis is a game-changer. It empowers car sales professionals to not only meet but exceed client expectations by providing insightful and actionable credit advice. Building a Personal Brand for Long-term Success in Automotive Sales Personal branding emerges as a powerful driver for success. Sadie Ahmed's journey evidences the power of building a personal brand rooted in reliability and expertise. Her mantra, "You incorporated," underlines the importance of self-belief and self-promotion. By leveraging social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok, Sadie creates a persistent presence, ensuring she remains top-of-mind for potential car buyers. Beyond digital interactions, Sadie highlights the value of community involvement. "I do sponsor a bunch of local events. I've sponsored some golf tournaments, base local baseball teams…," she shares, demonstrating her commitment to establishing relationships and goodwill within her community. This extends her brand's reach and cements her reputation as a trusted advisor, not just a salesperson. The world of automotive sales demands adaptability and innovative thinking. As Sadie Ahmed showcases, blending effective customer credit management with a robust personal brand paves the way for sustainable success. This approach, underscored by strategic engagement with global tech advancements such as AI, keeps industry professionals ahead of the curve. Ultimately, embracing a comprehensive understanding of client financial situations and utilizing technology not only transforms the customer experience but also empowers sales professionals to thrive in an ever-evolving market landscape.       Resources + Our Proud Sponsors:   ➼ Podium: The AI Platform Powering the Modern Dealership.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hey Dave and Jamison, First, I love your show and it has now been part of my Monday evening routine for many years to listen to your podcast while cooking dinner. I recently joined a mid-sized software company (500 people) as a senior data engineer. The salary is a significant bump from my previous job and I really like the team on a personal level. Three months after I joined, the company laid off half its employees and announced a strategic pivot away from their previous core business to become an “AI-first company” and develop new products in novel, more profitable sectors. The product that my team had been working on until that point was scrapped and there are no new projects coming from the business side. In subsequent communications, it was revealed why: Management has no concrete ideas for the future strategy, neither on what products to develop nor on which sectors to target. Instead, our team (among others) is now tasked with coming up with new product ideas to “save the company”. I'm a data engineer, not a business development manager, and while I have dealt with high ambiguity from the business side in previous roles, it was never this extreme. I was looking forward to working on interesting technical challenges within a great, experienced team, but now I feel like I'm expected to become an “idea guy”, a role that doesn't really match my personality. My question is: Should I be patient and try to turn this situation into “an opportunity for growth”, or should I start applying elsewhere? I'm a bit worried that the short length of stay at this company will leave a stain on my CV. Many thanks to my favorite space lawyers, an anonymous listener. Hi! My current job is at a 10k+ large risk-adverse company that currently has nil, none, nada, nichts ai tools available for coding. I of course did the only reasonable thing. I've gotten a new job at a middle-sized fintech company that's going ”AI first”. I'm really excited about finally using ai outside hobby projects. I worry however, that my future colleagues will go too quickly ahead while vibecoding, vibearchitecting, vibetesting… leaving a mountain of tech debt behind. A lazy colleague would actually be better than an intellectually lazy colleague in this scenario. (I sincerely hope that I won't be that coworker) Are my worries overblown or sane? Any gotch'as to avoid? Maybe you can give a brief survival guide to the brave new AI world?
