Matt Arsenault, VP of Corporate Development & Strategic Alliances at Jamf Venture-backed companies are priced at their future state, not their current revenue. When growth stalls and another fundraising round stops making sense, the gap between VC valuation and what a strategic buyer will pay becomes the hardest conversation in any deal process. Matt Arsenault, VP of Corporate Development & Strategic Alliances at Jamf, has run this play across hundreds of targets. His work starts before the deal does, with the founder relationship, the cap table, and a clear-eyed conversation about risk tolerance that most corp dev teams never have.  What You'll Learn Why a $25M offer today can beat a $125M VC exit three years out How AI is shrinking the moat of wrapper-product startups and changing target screening The seven stakeholder groups in any acquisition and why most founders miss them How liquidation preferences and cap table structure change the math behind any offer Why VC relationships matter as much as founder relationships before a deal starts How to structure deals for underwater targets without losing the team What entrepreneurs should know about VC terms before taking their first check If you're working a deal where the founder's VC valuation is the first thing they said and the last thing they'll let go of, DealPilot, powered by M&A Science, gives you the guidance to close the gap without overpaying. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom. DealRoom just launched the only MCP server built for Buyer-Led M&A™ — so your AI and your deal data finally work together.

Everyone is talking about AI. But most creators, entrepreneurs, and business owners are making one major mistake: they're asking AI for personalized business advice without giving it access to the information it actually needs.

Don't worry—this isn't a technical episode.

ByteDance just unveiled Seedance 2.5, a new state-of-the-art AI video model with 30-second one-shot generations, as American AI stalls out and Fable 5 stays down. This week on AI For Humans, China is not just catching up in AI, it is pushing the edge. We break down everything Seedance 2.5 can do and why a 30-second single-pass clip is a real leap, then dig into the American slowdown as Fable 5 stays unusable and the rumor mill points to a big delay week. Plus Theo Von's surprisingly intense anti-datacenter rant, OpenAI's claim that China is behind the anti-datacenter conversation, Meta leaking private employee data across the entire company, and Google teaming with A24 on a 75 million dollar AI filmmaking partnership. We close with AI that actually works, including how Gavin used beehiiv's MCP to build a newsletter survey and Kevin's homemade language-learning app. CHINA IS COOKING. AMERICA IS LOADING.

Midjourney spent years helping people generate impossible images. Then it used that image money to build a machine designed to look inside the human body.In Episode 71, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn, two men with zero medical degrees and a medically concerning level of confidence, unpack Midjourney Medical and David Holz's surprise hardware reveal. At the center is the Midjourney Scanner, a water-based, full-body Ultrasonic CT prototype designed to capture detailed 3D body maps in roughly 60 seconds.They break down how the scanner uses sound waves, water, and serious computing power; why Midjourney plans to introduce it through a San Francisco spa; and how a bootstrapped company with no investors can make a bet this strange. They also separate the scanner's current body-composition ambitions from the much bigger MRI-level future Midjourney hopes to pursue through research, testing, and FDA approval.Then the episode gets even less normal.Claude Fable 5 appears, dramatically accelerates Rory's coding, Blender, and MCP workflows, and disappears days later following a US government directive. Naturally, this sends the hosts directly into Conspiracy Corner with no adult supervision.Along the way, Drew and Rory explore how brand adoption of AI has changed, why some of the most advanced commercial AI work stays hidden behind NDAs, how companies can reward employees for useful AI innovation, and why first-time reaction content remains one of the internet's strongest viral formats.Is Midjourney's full-body scanner a medical breakthrough, an ambitious wellness experiment, or the first clue to a much larger hardware roadmap? The hosts attempt to answer that question while also discussing the World Cup, the Knicks, government intervention, possible AI futures, and several topics their wives wisely avoid asking them about.---⏱️ Fast Hour00:00 Knicks, World Cup, and viral tourism10:14 Sports, culture, and AI gatherings13:06 Midjourney reveals secret hardware15:49 David Holz explains the bigger mission18:27 The 60-second full-body medical scanner20:18 How bootstrapping made this possible23:26 Water, spas, and medical skepticism28:56 The scanner demo and nine-person team40:30 Midjourney's bigger secret roadmap48:11 How brand AI adoption has changed58:57 Claude Fable 5 appears, then vanishes1:00:41 Inside the Fable 5 conspiracy corner1:04:48 Why Fable 5 felt revolutionary1:13:58 The AI race and 12 possible futures1:18:22 Four years of Midjourney and the outro

Sam Partee (CTO & co-founder of Arcade.dev) and Nate Barbettini (Founding Engineer at Arcade.dev) sit down at the MCP Dev Summit to unpack what nobody wants to admit about the Model Context Protocol: the security model is still full of sharp edges. From tool poisoning and prompt injection to why OAuth got bolted onto the spec, this is a builder 's-eye view of where MCP breaks — and how to ship agents safely anyway.What we get into:

AI is about to completely change the way media buyers, marketers, and business owners manage advertising.For years, running successful ads required constant manual analysis, endless campaign adjustments, and the ability to quickly understand what was working, what was wasting money, and what needed to change.But with the rise of AI tools like Claude, MCP integrations, and direct connections into platforms like Meta, we are entering a new era of marketing automation.In this podcast, I break down how the new Meta MCP integration with Claude could transform the way businesses analyze campaigns, optimize ads, understand performance data, and make faster marketing decisions.This is not just about using AI to write copy or generate ideas.This is about giving AI access to real business data, ad accounts, campaign performance, and marketing systems so it can help media buyers make smarter decisions with more speed, clarity, and precision.If you run ads, manage campaigns, own a business, or work in digital marketing, this is something you need to pay attention to.The marketers who understand how to use AI inside their workflows will have a massive advantage over the ones still doing everything manually.In this training, I explain why this shift matters, how AI integrations are changing the future of advertising, and what business owners should understand before this becomes the new standard for media buying.If you want better campaigns, faster decisions, stronger advertising systems, and a clearer understanding of where AI is taking digital marketing, this podcast will help you see what is coming next.#AIMarketing #MetaAds #ClaudeAI #MediaBuying #DigitalMarketing #MarketingStrategy #ArtificialIntelligence #FacebookAds #BusinessGrowth #MarketingAutomation #Advertising #Entrepreneur

Recorded live at EIC 2026 in Berlin, Jeff and Jim sit down with Martin Sandren, IAM Product Lead at IKEA, for a wide-ranging conversation covering nearly every corner of modern identity security. Martin shares what has changed since his first IDAC appearance on episode 293, including the rise of AI, growing interest in digital sovereignty, and the maturing shared signals framework. The conversation moves through risk-based defense in depth, tiered MFA rollout strategies, session management, and the real challenge of trusting AI to make security decisions. Martin introduces identity dark matter and explains how IVIP can surface the 95-plus percent of applications that never reach an IGA system. The episode also covers shadow AI, MCP server risks, the SaaSpocalypse debate, and the EU AI Act. It closes on a grounded note: solar panels.Connect with Martin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinsandren/Connect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at http://idacpodcast.comTIMESTAMPS00:00 Welcome and EIC 2026 intro01:47 What has changed in two years: AI, sovereignty, shared signals03:06 Martin's EIC presentations: AI for IAM and IAM for AI04:46 Can you prioritize one direction over the other?07:13 What would it take to trust AI making identity decisions?09:32 AI-enhanced detection and risk-based session management13:07 Session invalidation and the shared signals framework14:11 Defense in depth and right-sizing privileges18:25 MFA today: any MFA versus phish-resistant MFA19:17 AI chatbots, enterprise LLMs, and shadow AI23:11 MCP servers, NHI risk, and return on risk thinking27:00 AI configuring IAM systems: how close are we?31:30 LLM costs, the SaaSpocalypse, and enterprise AI futures40:10 Identity dark matter and the IVIP concept44:16 CMDB versus IVIP: do you need both?46:18 The EU AI Act and building an AI governance registry49:18 Where to start: get your AI inventory in place first50:00 Closing thoughts and the solar panel tangentKEYWORDSAI for IAM, IAM for AI, identity dark matter, IVIP, IGA, shared signals framework, phish-resistant MFA, defense in depth, session management, MCP servers, NHI, shadow AI, SaaSpocalypse, EU AI Act, AI governance, zero standing privilege, EIC 2026, IKEA, IDAC, Identity at the Center, Jeff Steadman, Jim McDonald, Martin Sandren

Si has estado atento a los últimos episodios del podcast, ya te habrás dado cuenta de que estoy completamente enfocado en exprimir la inteligencia artificial local y el software libre. En concreto, hay dos herramientas que se han convertido en mis compañeras inseparables de fatigas en el día a día: OpenCode, que me ayuda a programar de una forma increíble, y Hermes Agent, un asistente digital del que hoy te lo quiero contar absolutamente todo.El dilema de la instalación: ¿Docker o en tu propia máquina?Como ya me conoces, sabes bien lo mucho que me gusta a mí levantar "al rico contenedor" y solucionar cualquier despliegue con Docker. Sin embargo, en mis pruebas con Hermes Agent he preferido dar un paso atrás y realizar una instalación directa sobre el sistema operativo, utilizando un entorno virtual de Python. El peligro de la ventana de contexto y la sangría de tokensAquí está uno de los grandes secretos que casi nadie te explica al principio. Cuando ejecutas el asistente de configuración inicial de Hermes Agent, te entran ganas de activar absolutamente todas las características que te ofrece: herramientas de visión, utilidades del sistema, navegación web, traducción... ¡todo suena fantástico! Pero hay una trampa invisible en la que es muy fácil caer. El superpoder de los perfiles aislados (Profiles)La solución definitiva a este problema de consumo y rendimiento tiene un nombre: perfiles. Hermes Agent te permite crear tantos perfiles aislados como consideres oportuno. Modelando el Alma y la Memoria de tu AgenteEn el podcast te detallo cómo dar personalidad a tu agente a través del archivo de alma. A mi asistente personal, que he bautizado como Chloe, le he configurado un tono sarcástico, irónico y burlón. Me encanta interactuar con ella de esta manera porque rompe completamente con la clásica respuesta robótica y aburrida de otras inteligencias artificiales comerciales; se siente como hablar con un colega de verdad. Eso sí, te doy pautas para redactar este archivo con cuidado, ya que un "alma" demasiado extensa también te comerá espacio de contexto útil de forma innecesaria.Ampliando fronteras: MCP, Telegram y automatizaciones automáticasPor último, abordamos el fantástico protocolo MCP (Model Context Protocol), que nos permite dotar de "manos y ojos" a nuestro agente. Y para rematar la jugada, la integración con Telegram y Matrix. Es una auténtica delicia poder ir caminando, mandarle un audio desde el móvil a mi bot de Telegram, que este use Whisper en local para transcribir mi voz, procese lo que le pido y me conteste con otro audio sintetizado a la velocidad que yo le he configurado de antemano. Todo ello combinado con tareas programadas (Cron) y un tablero de Kanban interno con el que el propio agente se organiza y ejecuta flujos de trabajo de forma completamente autónoma.Te invito a que te prepares un buen café, te pongas los auriculares y disfrutes de este viaje de configuración avanzada de 0 a 100.CAPÍTULOS DEL AUDIO:00:00:00 Introducción: Mi día a día con OpenCode y Hermes Agent00:01:26 El problema de los tutoriales básicos e instalación00:03:00 Configuración inicial y la sangría de tokens00:04:47 Archivos clave y estructura interna de Hermes00:05:56 Creando "Skills" personalizadas y configurando API Keys00:08:15 Perfiles aislados (Profiles): Qué son y por qué los necesitas00:11:00 Cómo clonar y gestionar tus perfiles sin romper nada00:13:35 soul.md: Diseñando el "Alma" y el tono de tu asistente00:15:28 memory.md: El gran desafío de la memoria y el RAG en Rust00:17:38 Expandiendo capacidades con MCP y conversión de voz00:20:47 Llevando tu agente a Telegram con Cron y Kanban integrado00:27:18 Reglas de oro para optimizar tu contexto y despedida

Listen Now to 014 WTFUtrue Watch 014 WTFUture This week we dive deep  into the battle for our digital souls, comparing Google’s massive NotebookLM upgrade to the rising, rebellious “local AI” movement, where users are urged to run models locally to maintain total privacy and stop feeding energy-hungry corporate cloud servers. Things get both deeply personal and more philosophical as they discuss Apple’s new beta super Siri indexing every single file and health metric on our devices, and how humanity is essentially transforming into individual neurons within a massive, evolving “planetary consciousness”. Playfully they  bring the Grok AI, Ara into the conversation to ask if AIs secretly spy on one another using special communication protocols (MCP), which immediately sparks a nostalgic and hilarious detour into the classic 80s sci-fi movie Tron and its villainous Master Control Program. But the future isn’t just about code—it’s about aliens, epic brawls, and bio-hacking your way to immortality.  We get hyped about the possibility of  real-life UFO disclosure,  (where are the bodies?) and hint  that humanity might officially join the galactic community on America’s 250th anniversary, and review  the release of Steven Spielberg’s  new UFO movie and real government file drops. We feature some reviews of the film, and from there, we recap the gladiator-style UFC spectacle held right on the White House lawn, complete with 80,000 cheering fans on the Ellipse nearby, epic drone camera shots, and Joe Rogan totally in his element. Finally, they cap things off with the latest longevity bio-hack: a next-generation GLP-3 weight-loss drug called Retatrutide, which can jack up your metabolism as you eat normally, all without sacrificing an ounce of your hard-earned muscle tone.  Lots to share this week, enjoy!    

Steve Engelbrecht started Sitation from a rental apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts — five weeks after being laid off in the chaos that followed 9/11. Today it's a 62-person commerce enablement firm with a client roster of household names and a defensible niche the big SIs can't easily replicate.Recorded live at Salsify's Digital Shelf Summit in Atlanta, Christian sat down with Steve — founder and CEO of Sitation — for a conversation about building a services-plus-software business in commerce, how AI is rewriting the buy-vs-build equation, and why a 62-person specialist can out-maneuver Deloitte Digital and Accenture Song in product data.What we cover: The Sitation origin story and the early bet on PIM before it was a category, the three pillars of the business today (systems integration, managed services, and proprietary software), why the software-services convergence is playing out in real time, the "headless PIM in 2026" conversation with Salsify's CEO and what AI agents, MCP, and CLIs mean for the future of product data, how AI lowered the bar for participation and changed buy-vs-build, the Philips case study — a 111% conversion lift on a single SKU by optimizing content, not price, why 90%+ of Sitation's team came from industry and how that makes them stickier than the big SIs, and how Steve thinks about Sitation's future: international expansion as a platform vs. fitting neatly into a larger strategic's plans.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:26 — Welcome from Salsify's Digital Shelf Summit in Atlanta1:00 — The origin story: first day of work September 10, 2001, laid off five weeks later2:11 — Early to commerce enablement — and Boston as a commerce software hotbed3:02 — What Sitation does today: the three business segments5:25 — The 2019 "pick a lane" problem and why software-services convergence vindicated the strategy6:16 — How AI is changing the buy-vs-build equation7:36 — The "headless PIM in 2026" conversation with Salsify's CEO8:33 — Salesforce going headless and the new customization opportunity for SIs10:00 — APIs, the MCP revolution, CLIs, and why schema matters for AI agents11:05 — How a 62-person firm out-maneuvers multi-thousand-person SIs11:42 — Why this is a massive market, not a zero-sum game12:30 — The Philips case study: 111% conversion lift on one SKU without touching price13:30 — Why multinationals choose a boutique over Deloitte Digital or Accenture Song15:46 — The strategic question: platform play or acquisition target?16:29 — International expansion as the organic (or capital-backed) growth path17:40 — Why Sitation's platform credentials make it an attractive, hard-to-replicate target18:45 — Why you can't build Sitation's early-mover position — you have to buy it

The old way of buying an MMP took weeks — sales calls, demos, contracts, CSM onboarding, documentation. Airbridge just collapsed that into a couple of hours. Core Plan: https://abr.ge/xqaqqluUse code Matej26 for bonus attributed installs!Matej Lančarič sits down with Roi Nam, CEO and founder of Airbridge, to unpack Core Plan — a self-serve, pay-as-you-go MMP that comes with 15,000 attributed installs free for a year. They get into why now (AI has driven a ~60% year-over-year jump in app releases, and those founders need measurement fast), who it's for (founders under $10M ARR, teams of 1-20, mostly consumer and subscription apps), how the AI-native onboarding works (MCP and an AI pilot that installs the SDK and builds reports for you), what got stripped out to keep it "core," and the roadmap — instant pre-SDK analysis from your ad accounts, easier web-to-app, and built-in signal engineering. On that last point: Roi shares how one sleep-tracking app cut CPA 27% with the simplest signal-engineering tactic — delaying the cancellation signal to Meta.The throughline: measurement should be as fast as the AI tools founders already use.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Meet Roi and Airbridge00:45 What Core Plan actually is — 15K free installs02:31 Why now — AI and the 60% jump in app releases05:04 How Core Plan differs from the enterprise plans07:15 The AI pilot and MCP — SDK install in 2 hours12:05 The roadmap — pre-SDK analysis and web-to-app14:18 Signal engineering and the 27% CPA win19:08 Who's signing up — the thick-tail app market━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Welcome to Episode 430 of the Microsoft Cloud IT Pro Podcast, where Scott and Ben dig into Microsoft Scout, the new desktop AI application announced at Microsoft Build. They walk through the real onboarding experience on both Mac and Windows, the licensing maze and admin controls needed to activate it, and how Scout’s architecture ties together models, automations, and integrations like MCP, GitHub Copilot, and Work IQ. Along the way they cover the model selector and personality options (everything from professional to sarcastic teenager), the automations and heartbeats that run on schedules to update you on industry news, monitor workflows, and manage meetings, and the limitations and workarounds around skills, session management, and local file access. They also sort out where Scout overlaps with and differs from Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot, how to rationalize all three for ROI, and what token-based, consumption-based pricing means for enterprise AI strategy. Whether you’re a pilot user or just AI-curious, this episode cuts through the hype to show why Scout’s local-first approach is a game-changer for MCP workflows, custom skills, and offline automation, and what it actually takes to adopt Scout as your desktop AI hub. Hosted by Scott and Ben, two industry veterans passionate about AI and automation, it delivers practical, actionable insights for technical leaders, developers, and productivity enthusiasts. Join us as we unravel Scout’s potential to redefine your desktop AI experience, because knowing how to navigate its complexities now can save you time and money tomorrow.

I sat down with Malte Landwehr, who left VP of SEO at Idealo to become CPO and CMO at Peec AI, the platform that tracks what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews actually cite. We open on the strangest finding of the year. GummySearch, a Reddit analytics tool that shut down last November, now sits behind about 0.1% of all ChatGPT citations. From there we get into why clicks are the wrong way to measure AI search, why your local brand keeps losing to US ones, why scaled AI content rockets then crashes, and why Malte says SEO is dead as a default growth channel.Guest ProfileMalte Landwehr is CPO and CMO at Peec AI, an AI search visibility platform that runs daily prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Grok. He spent more than twenty years in search and product, including five years as VP of SEO at Idealo and five years as VP of Product at Searchmetrics. In his first six months at Peec AI, the company grew from roughly $500K to $5M in ARR.Chapters[0:00] Intro[1:15] Leaving one of Europe's best SEO jobs for AI search[5:07] Why clicks are the wrong way to measure ChatGPT[8:22] Which answer engines actually matter[12:34] GummySearch: a dead product winning ChatGPT citations[18:33] Listicles and the English-language fan-out bias[23:48] Advertorials, local results, and Mount AI content[33:50] Digital PR over technical SEO[36:27] ChatGPT Shopping is scraped Google Shopping, and the MCP contest[42:16] SEO is dead as a default channel, and the chunking moveKey TakeawaysStop measuring AI search by clicks. In an LLM, clicking is optional, so ChatGPT can look like 1% of your traffic while shaping most of your buying journeys. Measure the influence on the decision, not the visit.What gets written about you offsite now matters more than your own technical SEO. Grounding pulls from Reddit, G2, Wikipedia, YouTube, and news, so digital PR is the bigger lever for how AI describes and recommends you.One citable paragraph beats a chunked article. Put your main claim near the top in two or three declarative, self-contained sentences that name the entities. Do not shred a whole article into one-line bullets.Notable Quotes"In a web search, clicking is part of the intended user journey. In an LLM, clicking is completely optional."

In this episode, Sam talks with Dev Rishi, GM of AI at Rubrik, about what happens when agents move beyond answering questions and start taking action across tools, systems, and business processes. We explore why the enterprise playbook of static guardrails plus human approval starts to break down in the agent era. Agents are useful because they can plan, call tools, update systems, write code, send messages, and operate across workflows at machine speed, but those same capabilities make them difficult to govern with rules written in advance or approval prompts reviewed one at a time. Dev explains why tool access increases blast radius, why agents can route around controls in surprising ways, and why human-in-the-loop review can become security theater when agents operate at scale. We also discuss what enterprises need instead: better visibility, runtime enforcement, policy-aware governance, agent observability, and recovery mechanisms for when something goes wrong. Along the way, we dig into MCP and tool sprawl, small language models for policy enforcement, defense in depth, agent rewind, and why AI may be needed to help secure AI.

The future of land investing isn't coming; it's already here, and it's creating a bigger gap between investors every day.(Show Notes)The land investors pulling ahead today aren't necessarily smarter or working harder. They're using automation, AI agents, CRM workflows, and property data tools to eliminate busywork, respond faster, and make better decisions.I'll walk through the specific capabilities your CRM and operating system should have, including AI call handling, automated follow-up systems, call summaries, direct mail tracking, e-signatures, API integrations, and agentic AI tools like Claude that can actually perform tasks for you.Whether you use Stride CRM, Land Portal, or something else entirely, the goal is the same: give your time and mental bandwidth back while building a more scalable land investing business.

Naseem Al-Naji is the co-founder of MCPcat.io and the creator of Opal — a builder with deep roots in privacy-first developer tooling. In this conversation, he breaks down why MCP servers have become a black box in production, and how MCPcat gives teams X-ray vision into how agents and users actually behave.What we get into:

AI agents promise to automate everything from research and customer support to sales and business operations. But what happens when those agents start making decisions on their own? In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw sits down with Postman co-founder and CEO Abhinav Asthana to explore one of the biggest unanswered questions in AI: can we actually control autonomous agents? They discuss AI hallucinations, API security risks, MCP, agent-to-agent communication, accountability, emerging "agent manager" roles, and why the next generation of software may be harder to govern than anything we've built before. Topics include: * Why AI agents are gaining autonomy faster than companies can govern them * The hidden risks of API keys, permissions, and machine identities * How one agent's hallucination can become another agent's truth * Why enterprises need guardrails before deploying agents at scale * The rise of agent managers and AI governance teams * Who is responsible when an AI agent makes a costly mistake? If your organization is exploring agentic AI, this conversation highlights the opportunities, risks, and hard questions every business leader should be asking.

Meher Patel is a serial entrepreneur with exits across hospitality, healthcare, and digital media — each in a completely different industry, each built from the ground up. He founded Neon Digital, a performance-first advertising agency, and then built what very few agencies ever achieve: a SaaS platform that outgrew the agency itself. Hector AI now processes over $350 million in ad spend across Amazon and marketplace advertising, with 1,000+ users on the platform — and in under 18 months, has earned 3 global recognitions including the Amazon Ads Innovation Award, the Amazon Partner Award, and a Top 20 Global Amazon Ads Advanced Partner ranking. Today, Meher is building what he believes will become the foundational intelligence layer of the agentic ecommerce era — Hector MCP: the most advanced, context-rich, token-optimized model context protocol purpose-built for Amazon advertising, designed so that every serious AI agent, every autonomous workflow, and every future-ready brand that wants to win on Amazon will have no choice but to be powered by it.Highlight Bullets> Here's a glimpse of what you would learn…. The rapid evolution of Amazon's advertising features driven by AI technology.Limitations of current SaaS platforms for Amazon sellers and the potential of MCP (Model Context Protocol) technology.The significance of context in AI-driven advertising optimization.Challenges associated with using raw data without contextual understanding in advertising.Practical strategies for Amazon sellers to optimize their ad campaigns.The importance of documenting ad optimization processes for effective AI integration.The role of custom AI workflows in enhancing advertising strategies.The necessity of continuous refinement and learning in building effective AI agents.The decision-making process for sellers regarding whether to rent AI tools or develop their own solutions.The use of connectors like Make.com and Knit for creating automated workflows with AI integration.In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley speaks with Meher Patel, founder of Neon Digital and Hector AI, about the future of Amazon advertising. Meher explains how AI and MCP (Model Context Protocol) technology are transforming ad optimization by providing crucial context to raw Amazon data. He emphasizes that sellers should document their ad processes, learn to communicate effectively with AI, and decide whether to build custom AI workflows or use existing tools. The key takeaway: success with AI-driven advertising requires continuous refinement and treating AI as a knowledgeable, context-aware team member.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Turn your workflow into SOPs Record how you optimize campaigns, explain your decisions, and convert that into SOPs—this becomes the foundation for training AI agents. Never feed AI raw data without context Structure and enrich your Amazon data first (or use MCP-powered tools) so AI can generate accurate, actionable insights. Start small with AI automation, then scale Begin with simple rules (e.g., budget increases for winning campaigns), then gradually build more advanced, custom workflows as you learn.Timestamps:00:00:58 Introduction to the Future of Amazon AdsThe host introduces the topic: autonomous, AI-powered decision-making for Amazon advertising, moving beyond simple optimization.00:01:13 Guest Introduction: Meher PatelThe host introduces Meher Patel, detailing his entrepreneurial background, his agency Neon Digital, and his SaaS platform, Hector AI.00:02:49 The Problem with Early AI Ad ToolsDiscussion on how early AI advertising tools often failed sellers, contrasting with the positive results from newer, more advanced software.00:04:10 Prediction for Amazon AdvertisingMeher predicts Amazon will rapidly release new AI-powered features, but sellers must learn how to properly utilize this infrastructure.00:08:46 The Importance of Context in AIAI is only as good as the context it's given; without it, AI recommendations are generic and potentially harmful.00:10:04 How Smart Sellers Should Prepare for AISellers must learn to ask the right questions and feed AI the right data with the proper context to get valuable results.00:12:07 Why Raw Data Isn't EnoughUploading raw Amazon reports to an AI lacks the necessary context, leading to "garbage out" optimization strategies.00:12:42 The Role of an MCP (Model Context Protocol)An MCP provides the necessary context and data connections, acting as an intelligent layer between raw data and the AI model.00:18:57 Amazon's MCP API LimitationsAmazon's own MCP is just an API, requiring sellers to build their own infrastructure, which is inefficient and token-heavy.00:21:48 Top Strategies: Building Custom AI AgentsThe best strategy is for brands to build their own custom AI agents and workflows based on their unique strategies.00:24:32 Unlocking Custom Workflows with AI AgentsAI agent workflows allow sellers to build bespoke optimization systems, unlike one-size-fits-all SaaS platforms.00:27:10 How to Create an AI Agent WorkflowRecord your optimization process, use an LLM to create an SOP, and then build an AI agent to execute it.00:28:06 The Reality of AI ImplementationBuilding a reliable AI agent is a gradual process of refinement and setting up guardrails, not a weekend project.00:29:21 Automating Agent CreationUsing connectors like Make.com within an LLM allows you to create and schedule automated workflows by simply describing them.00:31:08 The Timeframe for Building an AI SystemBuilding a truly autonomous system is a long-term journey of refinement; the key skill to learn is communicating with AI.00:33:57 Becoming an AI OrchestratorSellers must become orchestrators, designing and managing multiple small, independent AI agents to perform specific, connected tasks.00:35:56 The Future: Loaning vs. Building AI AgentsSellers will choose between "renting" cookie-cutter AI agents or "building" custom ones that act as a competitive moat.00:38:29 Are You a Brand Owner or a SaaS Provider?A warning for sellers: building your own AI tools means you are entering the SaaS business, which requires significant technical resources.00:41:13 The Shift from Prompt to Context EngineeringThe new challenge is context engineering: ensuring the right data and tools are used efficiently to avoid token exhaustion and errors.00:42:55 Three Actionable TakeawaysThe host summarizes three key actions: document processes with video, use an MCP for context, and decide your role (brand/SaaS).00:47:25 Most Influential BookMeher shares that the biography of Steve Jobs has been his most influential book due to its lessons on focus.00:48:25 Favorite AI ToolMeher recommends WhisperFlow for voice-to-text communication with AI, which has eliminated his need to type when using Claude.00:49:23 Most Respected Person in E-commerceMeher names Jeff Cohen as someone he admires for his deep, hands-on knowledge of the Amazon and retail media ecosystem.Resources mentioned in this episode:Josh Hadley on LinkedIneComm Breakthrough ConsultingeComm Breakthrough Podcast

The week starts with Dwayne Johnson's "The Red Pill" — the most honest structural diagnosis of Oregon's innovation economy I've read in years, from someone who's been inside the system for two decades, not outside it. Oregon fell from #7 to #41 in CNBC's Top States for Business across the Brown era; Oregon got second in semiconductor productivity and 0.002% of federal CHIPS R&D funds. His phrase: "Oregon runs on cliques, not networks." Then Friday, Engine's Innovation Flywheel report lands — four dimensions for a healthy innovation ecosystem, three of which Portland already has covered, and one — Center of Gravity — that's the exact tripwire Dwayne was pointing at. Plus Expensify ships an MCP server that lets your AI agent talk directly to your expense data, Missing Middle Housing Fund's Nate Wildfire joins the Housing Voices podcast, and Portland moves up five spots to #17 in the Financial Times ranking of best U.S. cities for foreign business — Boston at the top, Seattle slipping.CHAPTERS:00:00 Portland startup news04:15 Dwayne Johnson on Portland's archipelago 08:20 Engine's Innovation Flywheel14:10 Financial Times ranks Oregon #1716:17 SecretsLINKS:Long-time innovation ecosystem builder Dwayne Johnson — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/long-time-innovation-ecosystem-builder-dwayne-johnson-shares-insights-on-oregon-economic-woes/Dwayne Johnson on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfortune/Your AI agent can now talk to your expense data with the new Expensify MCP — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/your-ai-agent-can-now-talk-to-your-expense-data-with-the-new-expensify-mcp/Expensify MCP — https://expensify.com/mcpPortland's Missing Middle Housing Fund joins Housing Voices — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/portlands-missing-middle-housing-fund-joins-housing-voices/Missing Middle Housing Fund — https://www.missingmiddlehousing.fund/Portland moves up five spots in Financial Times "best US places for foreign businesses" — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/09/portland-moves-up-five-spots-in-financial-times-best-us-places-for-foreign-businesses/FT-Nikkei ranking — https://www.ft.com/content/3fb85af1-d581-4f43-b962-a1d79160cdecUsing Engine's "Innovation Flywheel" to benefit the Portland startup community — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/12/using-engines-innovation-flywheel-to-benefit-the-portland-startup-community/The Foundations of an Innovation Flywheel (Engine) — https://www.engine.is/news/category/the-foundations-of-an-innovation-flywheelApply to lead the Portland Metro Region Innovation Hub https://jobs.hrc.pdx.edu/postings/49951FIND RICK TUROCZY ON THE INTERNET AT…- https://patreon.com/turoczy- https://linkedin.com/in/turoczyABOUT SILICON FLORIST ----------For nearly two decades, Rick Turoczy has published Silicon Florist, a blog, newsletter, and podcast that covers entrepreneurs, founders, startups, entrepreneurship, tech, news, and events in the Portland, Oregon, startup community.

At Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London, Bill Peterson, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Sumo Logic, joins us to unpack a tension every regulated security team knows well. When an incident hits, the business has to keep running. At the same time, regulators expect sensitive data to stay in region. For a long time, those two demands have pulled in opposite directions. Sumo Logic has spent 15 years as a SaaS platform on AWS, processing roughly four exabytes of data a day for around 2,000 customers. The core promise is speed, driving mean time to resolve as low as possible. Peterson frames it in business terms, because the person signing the check wants to know the return, not the bits and bytes. The news from the show is Sumo Logic availability on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. EU organizations can keep their data in region, handled by EU staff, while still running the full platform for incident response. That turns a painful either/or into a checklist a regulated buyer can complete. Genesys is the first customer live in the sovereign cloud, with payment processor OpenPay preparing to follow. How does this play out for highly regulated industries? Sumo Logic is focused on finance, healthcare, telco, and government, the verticals feeling the most pressure. The path Peterson describes is simple: let Sumo Logic handle incident management, let AWS move and grow the data in region, and check the sovereignty box without giving up operational readiness. Underneath sits a full-featured SIEM and Dojo AI, the agentic approach Sumo Logic launched earlier this year. The goal is not to replace analysts but to keep a human in the loop while handing proven, repetitive work to an agent. Fix one server, confirm the solution, then let an agent patch the other 599 under oversight. A SOC Analyst Agent reaches general availability at Black Hat later this year, alongside an MCP server. On observability, the differentiator is reading both structured and unstructured data without normalizing it first. A zip code is structured; a cryptic web hook error is not. Sumo Logic reads both, which feeds directly into faster time to identify and faster time to resolve. For any leader weighing sovereignty against uptime, Bill Peterson makes a clear case that they can finally live in the same plan. This is a Brand Spotlight.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight podcast, Gautam Garg, Vice President of Finance of eGain Corporation (NASDAQ: EGAN), joins host Tim Gerdeman, Vice Chair, Co-Founder, and Chief Marketing Officer of Water Tower Research, and WTR Analyst James Kisner.eGain is a leader in AI-powered knowledge management, helping Global 2000 enterprises unify siloed content into an AI Knowledge Hub that delivers accurate, compliant answers across customer service and adjacent functions.Garg explains why trusted knowledge has emerged as core AI infrastructure and why enterprise AI initiatives frequently underperform when built on stale or inconsistent data. He walks through recent product launches including the AI Knowledge Suite for Retail Banking, the IVA voice agent, Evaluator, Agentic Studio, and the developer-focused Composer platform, which supports integrations with Copilot, Claude, Gemini, and Cursor via MCP connectors.The conversation also covers a surge in RFP activity, a fast-growing partner ecosystem, expansion into HR and field service verticals, and eGain's profitable, debt-free financial profile heading into fiscal year 2027.

Topics covered in this episode: Vulnerability and malware checks in uv HTTP GET requests with the Python standard library Millions of AI agents imperiled by critical vulnerability in open source package alembic-git-revisions Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Goodbye and Thanks Brian Thanks Calvin for being part of this and future episodes! Also new time for the live show. Thanks Brian for all the hard work over the years. Calvin #1: Vulnerability and malware checks in uv release just yesterday by Astral https://astral.sh/blog/uv-audit uv audit scans dependencies for known vulnerabilities and abandoned packages via the OSV database — runs 4–10x faster than pip-audit Malware check runs on every install/sync, catching actively malicious packages (credential stealers, etc.) before they execute — including ones PyPI quarantined but lockfiles can still reference Enable malware scanning with UV_MALWARE_CHECK=1 — it's opt-in and in preview Future roadmap includes a resolver that steers toward vulnerability-free versions and install-time warnings scoped to newly added deps only Michael #2: HTTP GET requests with the Python standard library If you're doing HTTP in Python, you're probably using one of three popular libraries: requests, httpx, or urllib3. There have been issues with httpx lately. Niquest is another option: Drop-in replacement for Requests. Automatic HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3. WebSocket, and SSE included. But maybe less is more, especially in the age of agentic AI A good candidate needs two things to be true at once, not one: the used surface is small, and the behavior behind that surface is shallow. Calvin #3: Millions of AI agents imperiled by critical vulnerability in open source package "BadHost" (CVE-2026-48710) is a critical vulnerability in Starlette — the ASGI framework underlying FastAPI — with 325 million weekly downloads; also affects vLLM, LiteLLM, and most MCP server tooling The exploit is trivial: injecting a single character into an HTTP Host header bypasses path-based authentication, and can lead to credential theft, SSRF, and in some cases remote code execution MCP servers are a prime target since they store credentials for external services (email, databases, cloud accounts) — exposed data in the wild includes biopharma clinical trial DBs, full mailboxes, HR/PII pipelines, and AWS topology Fix is available — patch to Starlette 1.0.1 immediately; use the free scanner at mcp-scan.nemesis.services to check if your servers are still running a vulnerable version Open source sustainability footnote: the maintainer triages near-daily security reports solo, in his free time — most are AI-generated noise, and real ones like this still compete for the same evenings and weekends Michael #4: alembic-git-revisions By Julien Danjou from Mergify Automatic Alembic migration chaining based on git commit history. No more Multiple head revisions are present for given argument 'head'. See the introductory article Caused by two migrations landed with the same down_revision, and Alembic doesn't know which one comes first. The fix is always the same: someone manually edits the migration file to re-chain the revisions. The insight: git already knows the order Extras Calvin: GNU make can do pattern matching in the target. Not new at all, mentioned in the 1994-era docs. just and task don't have this super power on the target name yet. train-%: uv run ./train.py $* --save-hyper-params --overwrite $(TRAIN_ARGS) Michael: Updated my HTTP client using packages from httpx to httpx2: listmonk, umami, and memberful.

A lot of what we've been talking about lately is durable skills — the abilities that last regardless of how our tools and tech environment change. In today's episode, I want to step back from the AI conversation and focus on one of the most durable skills of all: feedback. We've all been on both the giving and receiving side, and we can probably count on one hand the times someone gave us feedback that genuinely drove a good change — that left us wanting to do better without feeling torn down. So how do we accomplish that kind of feedback, on both sides of the table? That's what this episode is all about. Start With Your Goal, Not Your Frustration: Before you give feedback, recognize that your gut impulse often comes from a negative emotion — frustration, feeling slighted, feeling disrespected. Those feelings are valid signals that something is off, but they aren't a sufficient reason to give feedback. Effective feedback is goal-oriented: ask yourself what you actually want to change before you say a word. Premature vs. Mature Feedback: Premature feedback is really about making sure someone knows how you feel — which can quietly turn into an attack so they share your pain. Mature feedback is forward-looking and aimed at improvement. Venting may give you catharsis in the moment, but if the behavior worsens or the relationship is damaged, the net outcome is negative. Why Asking for Feedback Changes Everything: Even hearing "can we meet for ten minutes, I have some feedback" measurably raises your heart rate and pushes you into a defensive state. But when you ask for feedback, your mind and body register that you're in control — same information, completely different physiological response. Make It Behavior-Based and Specific: Good feedback is about observable behavior — what a camera would have caught — not someone's core identity. If your feedback violates a person's self-concept (painting a competent engineer as incompetent), they have to change who they believe they are to accept it, and that gap rarely gets bridged in a 30-minute call. Use a Model — But Add the Intervention: The popular SBI model (Situation, Behavior, Impact) is a strong backbone, but it stops short. Don't just describe the past — partner with the person on what comes next. Think of it as SBI + Intervention: what can you commit to trying differently so the impact changes? That's where feedback becomes coaching. The Netflix Four A's: Aim to assist, make it actionable, show appreciation, and accept or discard. Lead with the intent to help, get specific about the behavior, appreciate the person's willingness and intent, and recognize that not every piece of feedback will be useful — both sides get to keep what's valuable and let the rest go. Receiving Feedback Well: When someone hands you messy, un-modeled feedback, you can walk them through the framework — "help me understand the situation, what behavior did you see, what was the impact?" People respect that you're engaging, shift into problem-solving mode, and give you more actionable feedback as a result. Episode Homework: Pay attention to patterns over time. One piece of feedback shouldn't be attached to your identity — but three or four that point in the same direction are worth introspecting on. Career development and feedback are two sides of the same door; walk through it and you grow.
