What happens when AI moves beyond writing emails and summarizing meetings and starts influencing who gets hired, promoted, and paid? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with David Lloyd, Chief AI Officer at Dayforce, about why HR is becoming one of the highest-stakes environments for artificial intelligence and how companies can introduce AI while protecting employee data, maintaining human accountability, and preparing for growing regulatory scrutiny. HR systems contain some of the most sensitive information companies hold, from salaries and performance records to benefits and personal data. At the same time, AI is increasingly being introduced across recruitment, workforce management, compensation, performance, and employee experience. David explains why this combination creates enormous opportunities but also places greater responsibility on employers to understand how AI systems operate and how decisions are made. A major theme throughout our conversation is the role of AI governance. David challenges the assumption that governance slows innovation, arguing that the right processes can help companies evaluate AI ideas quickly while reducing the risk of introducing systems that lack appropriate data, transparency, or regulatory safeguards. Dayforce recently achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification for AI management systems and NIST AI Risk Management Framework attestation. David explains what independent validation means in practice and why companies evaluating AI vendors should ask for evidence of how systems are governed, tested, monitored, and audited. We also discuss the principle of "AI by choice." David argues that CIOs and HR leaders should never discover that a new AI capability has suddenly been activated across hundreds of employees without their knowledge. Companies need visibility into where AI is being used, what data employees can provide to models, and whether customer information is being used to train external AI systems. The conversation examines AI literacy and why HR leaders need to become comfortable with the technology themselves before guiding employees through changes to jobs and working practices. Employees are already experimenting with AI, sometimes through personal tools outside approved company systems. Rather than ignoring this behavior, David explains why companies should provide safe environments where people can learn while establishing clear rules around sensitive data. Human accountability remains central as AI takes on more responsibility. David discusses why people using AI should remain accountable for its outputs and why human oversight matters when technology influences decisions involving recruitment, compensation, performance, and careers. For CEOs, CHROs, CIOs, HR technology leaders, and anyone responsible for enterprise AI, this conversation provides practical guidance on responsible AI adoption, employee data, AI bias, model monitoring, regulatory compliance, vendor selection, and building AI governance that can stand up to scrutiny. The lesson is that governance does not have to be a brake on AI adoption. Done well, it can give companies the structure and confidence to move faster, make better decisions about where AI belongs, and continue using the technology when regulators, employees, customers, and boards start asking harder questions. https://www.dayforce.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/dayforce/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/dtlloyd/

As agencies experiment with new approaches to technology, finance, and acquisition, the rules that govern grants and contracts are changing too. The challenge is making sure oversight keeps pace with innovation.

Your art is a business. The sooner you accept that, the sooner your career actually starts. In this episode, Jake breaks down the philosophy that's guided everything he's built — every artist is an entrepreneur, and the ones who don't treat it that way usually don't make it.There's a hard line between a hobby and a career, and most artists don't want to look at it too closely. Jake does — and in this episode of Move Faster, he makes the case as directly as he can: if you want to get paid for your art, you are running a business, and it's time to start acting like it.That doesn't mean you have to become a spreadsheet person. It means understanding that your craft is the product, your audience is the market, and everything from your website to your invoicing to your social media is the infrastructure of a company — yours. Lady Gaga and the person doing karaoke on weekends both love music. The difference is one of them built a business around it.Jake walks through what that actually looks like in practice: the Starbucks and McDonald's analogy for understanding what need your art fulfills, why good enough for your audience beats objectively perfect every time, and how Curry Barker made a film for $800, submitted it to festivals, and eventually produced a $200M box office hit. He also shares his favorite low-key life hack — the fake assistant email — for anyone who's ever needed a buffer between themselves and a negotiation.The goal isn't to do all of it at once. It's to take one business step this week, then another, until it becomes a full operation.In this episode:Why "I just want to make art" without the business side means you have a hobby, not a careerThe Starbucks/McDonald's framework for understanding your artistic market positionWhat Curry Barker's career teaches about craft, marketing, and festival strategyThe fake assistant email trick — and why David Hasselhoff was ahead of his timeThe one business question every artist should ask themselves this week

This long-form episode of Wicked Problems is a practical conversation about AI adoption after the initial hype. Toby Corballis and Marcellus Lindsay look beyond the promise of automation and ask what happens when AI is introduced into organisations that cannot yet govern its cost, risk, data, accountability or human impact. The discussion moves between real-world implementation, change leadership, AI literacy, trust, hallucinations, token costs, agentic AI, and the familiar pattern of technology running ahead of organisational capability. The point is not that leaders should avoid AI. It is that they need enough understanding to ask better questions before they scale it. Marcellus brings the perspective of a consultant implementer: someone who can work with senior leaders while also understanding what happens on the ground. Together, he and Toby argue for controlled speed, domain expertise, human-in-the-loop review, and governance that helps organisations move quickly without building on flawed foundations. Key themes - AI governance, risk and accountability as leadership responsibilities, not technical afterthoughts. - Why many corporate AI initiatives fail to produce clear return on investment. - The gap between exponential technology change and slower organisational change. - How AI hallucinations, confidence and error rates create hidden implementation risk. - Why human trust in AI can exceed human trust in other people. - Token pricing, cost controls and the danger of unbounded AI usage at scale. - The role of domain expertise in judging where AI should and should not be applied. - Why agentic AI needs stronger guardrails than simple chat-based experimentation. - How flawed assumptions early in a programme compound into expensive failure later. - Why AI literacy should be basic, practical and principle-based for senior leaders.   To register intrerest in one of the forthcoming webinars mentioned, sign up at Strategic Flow

Nobody starts out good. The artists who make it aren't the most talented — they're the ones who were willing to make a lot of bad work to get to the good stuff. In this episode, Jake makes the case for why being willing to suck is the most underrated skill in any creative's toolkit.It's not a fun lesson, but it might be the most important one: most artists struggle because they're simply not good enough yet. And the only way through that is to make a lot of work that isn't good.In this episode of Move Faster, Jake gets honest about what he's seen after years of casting actors and running a creative agency — and what he's experienced himself losing jobs he wasn't ready for. The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't closed by waiting. It's closed by reps.He brings in three artists who prove the point. Ed Sheeran's "dirty tap" analogy — at first the water runs brown, but you keep it running until it clears. The A-Team took 20 minutes to write, but only after hundreds of songs that didn't work. Russ put out seven albums with no traction, then released a song a week for two and a half years before things broke. And Kobe Bryant ran three practices a day with the simple logic that if his competitors were doing two, he'd eventually be unreachable.The formula is unglamorous: make more art, get better faster, and let people call you an overnight success when you've actually been grinding for a decade.In this episode:Why most artists aren't making it — and what's actually in the wayEd Sheeran's dirty tap analogy and what it means for your creative outputHow Russ went from seven ignored albums to breaking through with a song a weekKobe, Phelps, and the math of doing more reps than everyone elseWhether you need to post your work publicly — or if you should just put your head down for five years

Every artist faces the same tension: doing the work that pays the bills vs. doing the work that feeds the soul. In this episode, Jake makes the case that the line between them doesn't have to be a war — and that the smartest artists find a way to get paid to practice.There's a version of this story most artists know too well: working a job that has nothing to do with their craft, saving up, burning out, and wondering if the dream is even possible. Jake has a different model — and in this episode of Move Faster, he breaks it down.The concept is simple: get paid to practice. Find work close enough to your craft that every day on the job is also a day of reps. Jake runs a video production agency that funds his real passion — narrative filmmaking. That agency paid for the gear, the skills, and the bandwidth that let him make 14 short films in four months with his wife. It's not a compromise. It's a strategy.He runs through three real examples: a musician who does audio engineering by day and uses the income to self-fund his own releases and Spotify advertising; a photographer who shoots weddings to bankroll his landscape photography and print sales; and an actor friend spending a small fortune on a short film he could have made scrappier — because he never built the infrastructure that comes from working in the field. Then there's Kurtis Brewer, who kept grinding on his horror projects on the side until one of them grossed over $200 million.The point isn't to stay in the day job forever. The point is to use it until the art pays for itself — and to not waste the off-hours on another Netflix binge when that time could be closing the gap.In this episode:The "get paid to practice" principle Jake learned from a mentor early in his careerHow Jake made 14 short films in 4 months — and what made it possibleThree real artist archetypes funding their craft intelligentlyWhy the side hustle is temporary — and what you're actually building towardThe honest question every artist needs to ask about how they spend their off-hours

Most artists plan their career first and figure out their life later. Jake flips it — and makes the case that the life you want should come first, and everything else gets built around that.Before you can build the career, you have to decide on the life. That's the whole premise of this episode — and it's the question most artists never stop to ask.In this episode of Move Faster, Jake breaks down why reverse engineering your career from your ideal lifestyle isn't a soft concept — it's a strategic one. Do you want money? Freedom? Critical acclaim? To work on your own terms? All valid. But each answer comes with a completely different set of trade-offs, and most people don't realize that until they're already deep in a path that doesn't fit.He shares three real examples: a painter friend building toward museum recognition with zero interest in commercializing, a photographer still figuring out whether the art even needs to pay the bills, and a mentor who built a construction company specifically to fund his art on his own terms — no galleries, no compromises. Then there's Eva Longoria headhunting out of her trailer on the Desperate Housewives lot just to survive while the acting career caught up.The throughline: there's no one right way. But there are trade-offs in every direction — and the artists who move with clarity are the ones who've actually sat down and confronted what they want.In this episode:Why the lifestyle question has to come before the career questionThree real artist archetypes and the different paths they've chosenThe "fund your art with a business" model — and why it worksWhat Eva Longoria's hustle years reveal about building a creative careerHow to figure out what sacrifices you're actually willing to make

Originality is overrated — at least at first. In this episode, Jake breaks down the lesson that changed how he thinks about both his art and his business: everything has a structure, and the fastest path to creative success is learning it, duplicating it, and then making it yours.It sounds like creative heresy. But Jake's latest revelation might be the most practical thing he's ever said on this podcast: stop trying to be original before you understand the structure.In this episode of Move Faster, Jake shares a conversation with a fellow filmmaker that clicked something into place — every art form, every medium, every platform has a set of rules. Sitcoms have a structure. Movies have a structure. YouTube has a structure. Paintings, photography, podcasts — all of it. And the people who win aren't necessarily the most clever. They're the ones who understand the structure and execute it so cleanly you don't even notice it's there.For someone who's always wanted to do something different, this has been the hardest lesson to sit with. But Jake makes the case that your originality isn't at risk — because whatever you create is going to be uniquely you anyway. The structure is just the container. It's also what separates you from AI, which can replicate structure but can't bring true originality to it.The same principle applies to business: find who's built the career you want, reverse-engineer what they did, and follow the formula. The complications are what slow you down. The simplicities are where you actually grow.In this episode:Why the most successful artists execute structure — not originalityHow sitcoms, movies, YouTube, and photography all follow the same underlying logicThe hardest creative lesson Jake has had to learn (and keep relearning)Why AI proves the point: structure without humanity is just regurgitationHow the same rule applies to building a career and a business

You get excited. You tell people. They have opinions. Now you're off course. In this episode, Jake makes the case for keeping your mouth shut — until the work speaks for itself.Everyone has an opinion about what you should be doing. Your friends, your family, your mentors — even people five steps ahead of you. The moment you open your mouth about a plan, you're inviting all of it in. And sometimes the noise isn't worth it.In this episode of Move Faster, Jake gets into the power of silence — not as a communication strategy, but as a creative survival skill. He shares what happened when he casually mentioned he was starting a weight loss journey to two friends in the fitness space. He didn't ask for advice. He knew what he was doing. He'd lost 30–40 pounds multiple times. Didn't matter — the unsolicited opinions came anyway, and suddenly he was on the defensive about his own plan.The lesson isn't to go dark on everyone. It's to be strategic about when you share, who you share with, and what you're actually asking for when you do. Jake breaks down three ways to handle it — stay quiet until the work is done, brace for the feedback and hold your ground, or set the terms upfront by telling people what you need from the conversation.He also talks about what it takes to actually trust yourself as an artist — which is harder than any of this — and why silence is one of the few tools that protects your instincts long enough to act on them.In this episode:Why announcing your plans can quietly derail themThe three ways to handle the opinions you didn't ask forHow Jake and his wife set communication terms before every hard conversationWhy artists have to protect their instincts — and how silence helps do thatThe journal trick and other ways to "say it" without opening the door

Retirement planning is changing quickly, and advisors who fail to adapt may struggle to connect with the next generation of clients. How are Gen X and millennials changing the conversation around retirement, income planning, and financial advice? What role will AI, digital marketing, and client experience play in the years ahead? In this episode, Jeremy Houser talks about how advisors can prepare for shifting client expectations, use AI to improve efficiency, and strengthen their digital presence. He also shares why younger generations may be more open to guaranteed income conversations, why mentorship and human connection still matter, and how advisors can stand out as more wealth moves to Gen X and millennial clients over the next two decades. Key takeaways: Why younger generations may think differently about retirement income and financial planning How AI can help advisors reduce repetitive tasks and create more time for growth Why building a stronger digital footprint may matter more over the next several years How client experience and community-building can help advisors stand out from larger firms Why mentorship, adaptability, and constant learning still matter in a changing industry And more!

This week on Swimming with Allocators, Erik Balck Sørensen joins Earnest and Alexa to share his journey from serial founder in an almost non-existent Danish startup scene to CIO of Denmark's Export and Investment Fund, a sovereign platform backing innovation at scale. Erik explains how Denmark went from having no venture funds or ecosystem infrastructure to becoming a global player in biotech, green tech, and deep tech, and why “giving back” and tight founder communities were crucial to that evolution. He breaks down what it really means to run a sovereign wealth fund with a dual mandate, balancing financial returns for taxpayers with societal impact, and how political momentum, past missteps, and investment discipline shape their strategy. Erik also details Denmark's 2030 plan: moving faster, professionalizing as an LP and direct investor, and doubling or tripling down on stronghold verticals like life sciences, selected green technologies, quantum computing, and European growth-stage capital. Additionally, Chuck Daly explains how evolving market dynamics, LP demands, and longer-dated, more complex venture products are reshaping the regulatory landscape for VC managers, driving greater scrutiny on valuation, fund structures, and exemptions, and highlighting the value of Sidley's deep, shared institutional expertise for GPs navigating this shift.

The pace of change in legal tech is no longer linear - it is exponential. David Cowen sits down with Colin Levy, one of legal tech's most prolific voices, to unpack why we are still at the frontier, why human appetite is failing to keep up with capability, and why daily discipline is the unsung superpower of every leader in this space. Key Topics Covered: Still at the frontier: Why the next five months will deliver more change than all of last year Appetite vs. capability: The widening gap between what AI can do and what humans can absorb The 5:30 AM discipline: Colin's daily writing practice and why a blank page is his most valuable tool Curiosity as a multiplier: Why the people winning right now read the technical guts of AI, not just the headlines The tipping point ahead: Colin's prediction that something big is coming — not a black swan, but a development beyond what anyone is imagining

Nobody hands you a list of your core values. You have to go find them. In this episode of Move Faster, Jake shares the four core values he lives and works by — not because they looked good on a wall, but because he had to think for the first time about what actually mattered to him.He starts with competence — the one his parents drilled into him from day one — and breaks down the three-step framework he pulled from The Way to Happiness: look, learn, practice. No shortcuts. No skipping steps. Just doing the work.Then he makes the case for having fun, which sounds obvious until you watch people stress themselves into misery over things that, in his words, don't require a 911 call. From his wife's TikTok content to his brother's wedding, Jake keeps coming back to the same question: can we make this a game?From there: communication. Always more, never less. And delivered with the right tone — because how you say it matters just as much as saying it at all.And finally, the one that took the longest to learn — lead with respect and admiration. Not liking. Not agreeing. Just respect. He calls it the ultimate superpower, especially with people who've wronged you.In this episode:The 3-step framework for becoming genuinely competent at your craftWhy "have fun" is actually a serious value, not a throwaway lineHow communication creates problems — and why the only fix is more communicationThe difference between liking someone and respecting them (and why it changes everything)Why you need to know your values before you can hold anyone else to a standard

The reality of building a career in founder-led businesses and then stepping into leadership yourself.   Today's guest is Georgina Kirby, General Manager at Kari Traa.   Georgina is an experienced outdoor industry leader with over 20 years in premium brand-led businesses. She's built her career across fast-growing, founder-led brands and now leads the instantly recognisable base layer brand, Kari Traa, part of the PE-backed Active Brands.   Her background spans senior marketing and general management leadership roles at brands including Icebreaker, Le Chameau, and Bradshaw Taylor, where she has worked across strategy, brand development, and commercial delivery.   We talk about working with founders, the energy, the pace, and the freedom that comes with it, but also the challenges that sit underneath that, and how those early experiences shape the way you lead.  People and decision-making, especially hiring, getting it wrong, spotting it too late, and what it costs the team.   As you move into more senior roles, expectations increase, the environment becomes more structured, and imposter syndrome doesn't really disappear even at a senior level, but instead becomes something you learn to manage through preparation and awareness.   We also spend time on something that doesn't get talked about enough: balancing ambition with life outside of work. Georgina shares her experience stepping back at points in her career, navigating personal challenges, and what she's learned about support, flexibility, and the environments that actually allow people to perform well.   If you're leading a team, working with founders, or stepping into a bigger role yourself, there's a lot in here that will feel familiar. Episode Highlights [00:00] Stepping into leadership while relocating your entire life [02:20] What Kari Traa actually is beyond a base layer brand [05:46] Learning retail from the shop floor at live events [10:38] When founder energy drives chaos and rapid pivots [16:11] Why global leadership is about communication, not language [20:21] The upside and volatility of working with founders [26:29] Moving from founder-led speed to private equity discipline [30:01] Why good leaders fail by not acting fast enough on people issues [33:41] What she would do differently in hindsight (career advice reflection) [35:59] The hardest leadership mistake: keeping the wrong people too long [41:21] The hidden cost of underpricing yourself as a leader [45:05] Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear, it just gets managed Notable Quotes “The best thing about founders is the passion. The hardest part is managing the emotion that comes with it.” Georgina “You don't need to be perfect as a leader. You need to create clarity and bring people with you.” Georgina “Imposter syndrome never really goes away, you just get better at managing it.” Georgina “If someone isn't the right fit, waiting too long helps no one.” Georgina “You can step back in role, but you don't have to step back in value.” Georgina Episode Takeaways Working with founders brings energy and purpose but also complexity Hiring decisions have a huge impact, and timing matters more than you think  Culture and people drive performance more than strategy alone Imposter syndrome is normal even at senior levels Preparation and clarity are key leadership tools Career paths aren't always linear and that's okay The right environment and support system make a big difference Great teams are built through diversity of thinking, not similarity Our Host   Dan Trapp is the Founder of Sports+Outdoor Search recruitment business and host of the Sports+Outdoor Mentors podcast.  With 30 years of leadership experience in the sports and outdoor industry, he has built and led global teams and, more recently, developed a strong reputation for helping brands and retailers source, assess, attract and retain exceptional leadership talent.  Having lived and worked in the UK, Switzerland, France, and Finland, for businesses owned by stakeholders from North America, Europe, and Asia, Dan brings a global lens to every conversation. On the podcast, he connects with industry leaders to share the real lessons, hard-won insights, and career advice shaping the future of sports and outdoor.  When he's not working, you'll usually find him having fun on the trail, water or snow with his family.

Most people think their "team" is just the people they work with. It's not. In this episode, Jake breaks down the three roles every artist and entrepreneur needs in their corner — mentors, teammates, and cheerleaders — and why confusing them is costing you.Your team is bigger than your business. In this episode of Move Faster, Jake breaks down the three types of people every creative needs in their life — and why mixing them up will slow you down.He draws a clear line between coaches (you pay for skill) and mentors (you earn through action), and shares how he's found mentors not in classrooms, but through YouTube rabbit holes, working alongside entrepreneurs on set, and just learning to shut up and ask better questions.Then there's your teammates — the people in the trenches with you, pushing toward the same level.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh reacted to Gov. JB Pritzker's latest comments about the Bears' stadium pursuit.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes Hui Ching Tan, Head of Research Insights APJ at Qualtrics, to unpack how AI‑simulated consumers are changing the way organisations understand their customers. We explore a huge shift happening inside one of the world’s biggest industries market research and why Singapore companies may be underestimating how fast AI is transforming it. Worth over US$150 billion, the research industry has long relied on surveys, focus groups and weeks‑long studies. But Qualtrics’ latest data shows a new reality: 78% of researchers already use Agentic AI 72% expect AI to take full responsibility for key research phases 70% believe AI agents will run more than half of all research end‑to‑end These AI “digital twins” built from real consumer behaviour, preferences and purchase history can test messages, products and experiences in hours instead of months, without fatigue, bias or drop‑off. Hui Ching explains what this means for Singapore’s banks, healthcare providers and retailers, especially amid a talent crunch in research and analytics. She also shares why companies that adopt synthetic data and agentic AI now will gain an insight advantage that competitors will struggle to catch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TSA wait times at several major airports are shrinking after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were temporarily deployed to help. The move comes as TSA faces staffing shortages that had led to long, often chaotic lines. While ICE officers are not replacing TSA agents, officials say their presence has helped stabilize operations and speed up screening. At airports hit hardest by delays, travelers are now reporting noticeably shorter waits and smoother security lines.

As energy prices look set to rise sharply amid the war in Iran, Public Expenditure Minister Jack Chambers has played down the prospect of immediate cost-of-living supports, warning of an “extremely volatile, uncertain and unpredictable” situation and saying the Government won't act in the short term. Should the Government move faster and introduce supports now or is it right to wait and assess how the crisis unfolds? To debate was Louise O'Reilly, Sinn Féin TD for Dublin Fingal West and Sinn Fein Spokesperson on Social Protection and John Connolly, Fianna Fail TD for Galway West.

In this episode, Alexandra Prassas joins the show to unpack what she calls Trust Velocity — the speed at which leadership teams convert tension into decisions and decisions into execution.This isn't a soft conversation about values. It's a hard look at operating mechanics.Alexandra breaks down:How to tell if trust is truly present inside executive meetings or just being talked aboutThe subtle signals that show up in decision latency, side conversations, and unspoken hesitationWhat actually slows trust down: misaligned incentives, ego protection, unclear ownership, and political ambiguityThe difference between productive conflict that sharpens strategy and conflict that fractures teamsWhy cultural intelligence isn't about being nice, it's about reducing friction, so teams ship fasterThe line between psychological safety and performance accountability, and why you need both to avoid comfort or chaosWhat the first 30 days of trust repair look like when leadership alignment breaksWhere cross-functional misalignment most commonly starts — and the early warning signs most CEOs ignoreIf a CEO says, “I want us moving 30% faster,” Alexandra makes it clear: speed isn't a motivation problem. It's a trust architecture problem.This conversation goes beyond buzzwords and into how leadership teams actually operate, where influence, clarity, and execution either compound… or stall.For leaders who care about real alignment, measurable execution speed, and building teams that don't just preach trust but operationalize it, this one goes deep.

Arnie Katz has been running product and engineering under one roof since before most companies even considered combining the roles. As CPTO at GoFundMe, he oversees the teams behind a platform processing over 2.5 donations every second, with more than $40 billion in help facilitated worldwide. Arnie breaks down why the CPTO title keeps gaining traction, how he thinks about the role like a portfolio manager, and where the real trade offs live when one person holds both the product and technology reins.Key TakeawaysThe CPTO role works like a portfolio manager. Arnie manages the company's largest investment center by balancing short term business wins against long term platform bets, knowing when to take on technical debt and when to pay it down.Velocity, coordination, and alignment are the three biggest wins. When product and engineering report to one leader, decisions happen faster, roadmap conflicts get resolved without executive tug of war, and technical investments stay tied to business outcomes.The disadvantages are real. Without separate CPO and CTO voices at the executive table, certain perspectives can get muted. His fix: build a leadership bench strong enough to create the right tension underneath him.AI is changing what small teams can deliver. GoFundMe's eight person team behind Giving Funds is shipping at a pace that would have been impossible five years ago.Timestamped Highlights[00:38] The scale most people don't realize about GoFundMe, including 2.5 donations per second and GoFundMe Pro for nonprofits.[02:02] How Arnie first landed the CPTO title at StubHub seven years ago, and why it clicked.[09:11] The real downside of collapsing two C suite roles into one, and how Arnie designs around it.[13:57] His portfolio approach to technical debt, sequencing re platforming in areas like identity and payments while other teams ship business value.[18:38] AI reshaping engineering velocity, the future of the SDLC, and product teams prototyping without writing code.[23:06] Where the CPTO model is headed as the industry evolves.The Line That Stuck"I often think of myself as a portfolio manager. My job is to invest money where the company gets the best returns, where the mission gets the best return, where the shareholder gets the best returns."Pro TipsSequence your bets instead of spreading them thin. GoFundMe gave their identity and payments teams nine months of runway to re platform with no feature expectations while other squads picked up the pace on near term results.Build leadership that creates productive friction. Without CPO vs. CTO tension at the exec level, let your VPs and SVPs push back against each other. That tension is where the best decisions come from.Think in time horizons, not just priorities. Short term moves for 0.1% to 0.5% metric lifts. Midterm bets for 1% to 5% gains. Long term swings that could transform the business. Allocate across all three.If this conversation changed how you think about product and engineering working together, share it with someone on your team. Subscribe to The Tech Trek so you never miss an episode, and connect with Arnie on LinkedIn to keep the conversation going.GoFundMe is offering listeners of The Tech Trek a chance to open their own Giving Fund.

In this episode of C.U. On The Show, Doug English speaks with Deedee Myers and JD Myers about how AI is influencing credit union governance and organizational readiness. They discuss how AI can accelerate both strengths and weaknesses in an organization, why workforce literacy and critical thinking matter in an AI-enabled environment, and how boards can responsibly engage with AI in strategic planning. The conversation covers practical entry points—such as “point AI” tools and vendor-embedded AI—along with longer-term concepts like enterprise AI, AI ecosystems, and the importance of security and explainability for regulated decision-making.Watch the video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/N3BQnwVMm0ARead the episode summary here: Fiduciary Financial Planning Insights | ACT Advisors BlogEmail doug@act-advisors.com with any inquiries.The guests on today's show are not affiliated with or endorsed by ACT Advisors, LLC and their opinions are their own. ACT Advisors did not provide cash or non-cash compensation for their participation.

I pulled together three of my most powerful Quickie episodes because they all speak to one thing I know you're facing right now.

Today I'm thrilled to welcome my dear friend, Helen Hall back to the podcast. Helen is a movement therapist, a running coach, a pain expert and one of the best coaches in any modality that I have ever come across. She has had a lifelong passion for analysing posture and movement, and her clients include elite athletes, whether they be runners, cyclists or premier league footballers, but also everyday folk who simply want to walk or run pain-free.   She combines objective clarity from the most advanced motion analysis technology in the world, with 46 years of visual experience and study in the field, to seek out the root causes of chronic pain and injury, that often seem resistant to standard treatment protocols.    In order to help more people than those able to visit her in person, Helen first shared her movement philosophy in her wonderful book ‘Even With Your Shoes On'. Since then, Helen has created a series of online courses for professionals as well as members of the public who want to move better without pain. Her flagship online course is ‘A Troubleshooting Checklist for Walkers and Runners' and she has a brand new course ‘Stress Incontinence: An Alternative Approach'. Helen is offering 40% off for Feel Better, Live More listeners until the end of April 2025 – go to https://www.helen-hall.co.uk and use the code FBLM40.   Helen first came on my podcast on Episode 216 back in November 2021 and many of you got in touch to say how helpful the tools shared in that episode were.    In this conversation, we continue where we left off: We talk again about the vital importance of our head position – and how to become aware of how you're holding your own head, if you're struggling to know. We bust the myth that running is bad for your knees. We discuss walk-run strategies and how they can help all of us reduce injury, recover more quickly and run faster. We discuss why ‘foot wiping' - a very simple practice that I do on most days - could help you move with more ease. We talk about the importance of spending time barefoot. We discuss minimalist shoes and why we are both big fans.   Since I began working with Helen she's become a cherished friend, whose wisdom and insights cover much more than walking and running. Her message for this brilliant episode is straightforward and optimistic: think about your head, think about your feet – and don't assume that you can no longer move without pain. She is an inspiring lady, this is an inspiring conversation, I hope you enjoy listening.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
