In this episode of ClickFunnels Radio, we tackle the biggest sticking point for almost everyone once momentum starts building: selling. By day three of the challenge, many of you already had leads, conversations, and even people asking about funnels - but the real question was, how do you actually turn this into money without feeling awkward, pushy, or salesy? Today is about removing that fear completely and replacing it with a system that makes selling feel natural, ethical, and simple. I'm joined by McCall Jones for a powerful training that shows you how to get clients without "closing" in the traditional sense. Instead of pressure, scripts, or high-stress sales tactics, she breaks down a clear, repeatable process that helps prospects want to pay you - often before you ever ask. This session is a turning point in the challenge, where funnel building stops being a hobby and starts becoming a real business skill you can monetize with confidence. Key Highlights: Why most people don't have a sales problem - they have a sales system problem How to use a free sample the right way so prospects naturally want more The "Hit By a Bus" framework for selling without pressure or pitching How to show value by highlighting before-and-after differences in a funnel Simple language shifts that turn conversations into paid projects This episode is where everything clicks. You already know there's demand. You already know you can build the thing. Now you know how to get paid for it - without becoming someone you're not. Once you understand this approach, selling stops feeling scary and starts feeling like service. And that's when this whole opportunity really opens up. https://www.onecommaclub.com Get 3 months of ClickFunnels for only $99 at the link below, that's an 83% discount to get started! https://www.clickfunnels.com/cfradio

I'm not sure if you noticed this, but there is a massive gap between what salespeople and leaders know and what they actually do. I've written 18 books and trained hundreds of thousands of salespeople. I can't tell you how many times someone comes up to me and says, "Jeb, I read Fanatical Prospecting. Great book. But that stuff doesn't work for me." Or they'll say, "I tried that objection handling technique you taught, but it didn't work, so I went back to what I was doing before." Here's what they don't understand: The problem isn't the technique. The problem is that they gave up too soon. The brutal truth is that most people fail to implement what they learn. The Skate Park Lesson A couple of weeks ago, I was traveling for business, working with one of my clients' sales teams. One afternoon, I decided I needed some exercise, so I went for a walk. Along the way, I came across a skate park where kids were riding their skateboards and doing tricks. There was a bench nearby, so I sat down to watch for a while. Close to me was a group of young guys, probably 13 or 14 years old. They were huddled around a phone watching a YouTube video of someone doing a particular trick on their skateboard. They watched it, talked about it, and then one of them threw his skateboard down and attempted the trick. He immediately fell off and failed. The next kid tried, and he failed. Then the next one and the next one. All of them failed to do the trick. So what did they do? They went back and watched the YouTube video again. Then they threw down their boards and crashed and burned, but this time, slightly less dramatically than the first time. They repeated this process over and over. Watch the video. Try the trick. Fail. Watch again. Try again. Fail a little less badly. Until finally, one of them nailed it. When he landed the trick, they all erupted. Clapping, fist pumping, and cheering. And once one kid got it, the rest of them started getting it too. They practiced until they had the trick nailed down, then went back to YouTube to find another trick to learn. At that point, I got up and headed back to my hotel. But as I was walking, I couldn't stop thinking about what I'd just witnessed. Too Often, We Give Up too Soon How often do we do the exact opposite in business and sales? We read a book, watch a video, listen to a podcast. We hear about a technique or concept that sounds really good. And we think, "Yeah, I'm going to try that." So we give it one shot. Maybe two if we're feeling ambitious. And when it doesn't work perfectly the first time, we say, "Well, this doesn't work for me," and we give up and never try it again. Or worse, we read the book, feel really good about the concept, then put the book down and never even attempt it at all because we've already convinced ourselves it wouldn't work for us before we even tried. But here's the thing: Those kids at the skate park didn't look at that trick and say, "This looks hard, it probably won't work for me." They looked at it and said, "We're going to figure this out." They understood something that most adults have forgotten: Just because you read about something or see someone else do it, doesn't mean you're going to master it on the first try. The Homemade Yogurt Failure Paradigm As I was walking back from the skate park, this lesson reminded me of something that had happened to me over the holidays. I'd seen something in my news feed about making homemade yogurt. It looked interesting, so I bought some milk, studied the recipe, and made an attempt. And I failed. My concoction didn't turn into yogurt at all. My immediate reaction was, "Well, this isn't going to work; it must be a bad recipe." I gave up after one failed attempt. But after watching those kids at the skatepark, I realized the giving-up-too-soon trap I'd fallen into. So when I got home from my trip, I went back, reread the recipe, walked back through my steps to figure out what went wrong, and tried again. This time it worked, and I actually made yogurt. The recipe wasn't the problem. My execution was the problem. And I only figured that out by trying again. The Human Overconfidence Fallacy Here's the lesson: We are all susceptible to this human fallacy of believing that we can read something, watch something, or hear something once and then immediately do it perfectly. When it doesn't work the first time (or even the second time), we conclude that the technique is flawed, or it won't work for us, or our situation is unique and different. But the truth is, we gave up too soon, before we gave the technique a fair shot. That's just being human. We're wired for overconfidence, instant gratification, and immediate results. When we don't get them, we move on. Why This Matters in Sales Let me bring this back to sales, because this pattern will absolutely kill your results. You read a book on prospecting, learn a new cold calling technique, watch a sales training video on objection handling, or attend a conference or training and learn new ideas. Then you try it. Maybe it feels awkward, or the prospect reacts differently than you expected. Maybe you stumble over the words, or you get shut down and rejected. So you conclude it doesn't work, and you go back to what you were doing before, which, by the way, wasn't working either. That's why you were looking for something new in the first place. Here's what you're missing: Sales is and always has been a numbers game. Statistics and the law of averages matter. Even the best techniques don't work 100% of the time. You have to use them enough times to see the patterns and to understand what's working and what needs adjustment. The Iteration Process Those kids at the skate park weren't just repeating the same failed attempt over and over. They were iterating. They'd try the trick, fail, and then make a small adjustment. They'd watch the video again, notice something they missed the first time, and then talk to each other about what went wrong and what to try differently. That's the process: Try, fail, learn, adjust, try again. But most people skip the "learn and adjust" part. They just try, fail, and quit. Let me give you a sales example. Say you're trying a new prospecting email template. You send it to ten prospects and get no responses. The try-fail-quit people conclude the template doesn't work. But a try-fail-learn-adjust-try again high performer would ask: Did I send it to the right prospects? Was my subject line compelling? Was the timing right? Did my call to action make sense? Should I test a different version? They'd iterate and test different variables until they figured out what worked. That's what separates top performers from everyone else. They don't give up after one attempt. Instead, they iterate until they succeed. The Success Leaves Clues Principle Here's something else those kids understood: If someone else is doing something successfully, that means it's possible. When they watched that YouTube video, they didn't say, "Well, that guy is just naturally talented." They said, "If he can do it, we can figure out how to do it too." This is the "success leaves clues" principle. If someone else is making something work, that's proof it can work. Your job is to master their patterns and believe that you can make it work too. When you read a book like Fanatical Prospecting, and you see examples of people who built massive pipelines using these techniques, that's not fiction. Those are real people who learned how to execute these strategies. When you watch a training video and see someone handle an objection smoothly, that's not magic. It is someone who practiced that response dozens or hundreds of times until it became natural. The clues and evidence are there. The only question is: Are you willing to put in the practice and endure the failures until you get there yourself? The Practice Paradox Here's the paradox that trips people up: The techniques that work best often feel the most awkward at first. That's because they're different from what you've been doing, and anything different feels uncomfortable. For example, when I teach salespeople to slow down and use silence in negotiations, they hate it. It feels unnatural. They want to fill the silence with words. But the ones who push through that discomfort and practice using silence close bigger deals at better margins. When I teach salespeople to ask for referrals using a specific framework, they feel like they're being pushy or scripted. But the ones who practice the framework until it becomes conversational generate more referrals than they ever thought possible. The discomfort is temporary. The results are permanent. But you have to get through the discomfort in order to get to the results. 5 Keys to Mastering New Sales Skills So, how do you actually implement what you learn? Here's what I recommend: First, commit to practicing any new technique at least twenty times before you decide if it works. Not once. Not twice. Twenty times minimum. That's how long it takes to get past the awkwardness and start seeing results. Second, track your results. Don't rely on your feelings about whether something is working. Write down what happened each time you tried the technique. Look for patterns and notice what's improving. Third, iterate. If something isn't working after multiple attempts, don't just abandon it. Adjust it. What needs to change? What variable can you test differently? Fourth, find someone who's making it work and learn from them. If you're struggling with a technique that others are using successfully, reach out to them. Ask questions. Watch how they do it. Fifth, be patient with yourself. You're not going to master anything instantly.

You’re not going to master anything instantly. Give yourself permission to be bad at something new while you’re trying to master it. Your Homework this Week Here’s what I want you to do this week: Pick one technique you learned recently – from a book, a podcast, a training – and commit to trying it at least twenty times this week. Track what happens each time. Notice what’s working and what’s not, make small adjustments, and keep at it. Because here’s the truth: The techniques work. But you must put in the work before they will work for you. Those kids at the skate park didn’t give up after the first fall. They kept going until they nailed the trick. That’s what separates winners from everyone else. Not talent, luck, or some magical gift. Just the willingness to try, fail, learn, adjust, and try again until you get it right. And remember, when it’s time to go home, make one more call. Because that one more call is one more rep, one more attempt to get better, and one more step toward mastering your craft.

In this episode of Govcon Giants, Eric sits down with Justin Vianello, CEO and equity partner at SkillStorm, to unpack how federal agencies and large integrators can stop recycling the same expensive talent and start building net-new cleared technologists. Justin shares his global journey from chartered accountant at PwC to scaling multiple companies and exiting, and how that experience led him to a "hire, train, deploy" model that develops new talent instead of bidding up the same résumés. He breaks down why traditional degree requirements are outdated, how certifications and apprenticeships are creating better ROI, and where the real opportunities are in cybersecurity, AI, cloud, and platform-specific roles like Salesforce, AWS, and Palantir. You'll hear Justin's take on why big consulting firms and government need to rethink workforce strategy, how SkillStorm pays people during training to focus on learning, and why soft skills—communication, leadership, and presentation—are the real differentiators in an AI-powered world. Eric and Justin also explore the gap between college promises and reality, the power of apprenticeships and military "cool"/GI Bill pathways, and what agency heads must do now if they want lower costs, better teams, and faster delivery on critical missions. Key Takeaways: Upskilling & reskilling are the real moat: certifications + platform skills (cloud, cyber, AI) + soft skills beat generic degrees in today's federal tech market. Custom-built teams > resume recycling: Skillstorm's "hire, train, deploy" model creates new cleared talent, reduces costs, and gets billable teams productive on day one. College is optional, not mandatory: for many roles, apprenticeships, technical certs, and on-the-job training now offer better ROI, especially for veterans and career changers.

Prompting is out, context is in. Host Daniel Serfaty and Prof. Joseph Fuller of the Harvard Business School explore why “context engineering”—combining domain knowledge and judgment—is the next essential skill for human-AI teaming. They also discuss how organizational design, retention, and learning must evolve as technology advances faster than traditional upskilling can keep pace.
In a digital world where 85% of young adults get their news from social media but only 5% trust it, brands face an unprecedented challenge: building credibility in an algorithm-driven landscape. In this episode, we're joined by Casey Madsen of Vayner, who breaks down insights from their latest research on the state of PR, content, and consumer trust. We discuss how “earned media” and influencer storytelling have merged, why only 29% of brand leaders feel their voice is consistently authentic, and what marketers must do to earn real attention in 2026 and beyond. Whether you're leading a comms team or just starting your marketing career, this episode unpacks the evolving intersection of credibility, creativity, and connection in the attention economy.Key Takeaways:// Credibility Crisis: With only 5% of social media users fully trusting the content they see, brands must focus on transparency, consistency, and community-driven storytelling to rebuild trust.// The Overlap of PR and Social: The walls between traditional PR and social storytelling are gone — teams must now think like creators, not just communicators.// Authenticity Gap: Only 29% of brands believe their voice is truly consistent. The fix? Align every piece of content with your brand's values, tone, and long-term mission.// The Rise of Earned Attention: As paid reach declines, the brands that win will be those who earn engagement through relevance, not repetition.// New Skills for the Modern Marketer: The next generation of communicators needs to be data-driven, platform-native, and emotionally intelligent, blending creative instinct with analytical insight.// Career Advice for Emerging Talent: Focus on mastering storytelling, speed, and strategy — the three currencies of credibility in the modern media landscape.Download the Report: HEREConnect with Casey: LinkedIn____Say hi!

Send us a textPower is shifting, and the cracks are showing. We open with a stark look at UK politics and ask why half of Conservative members still reject a Black woman leading then widen the lens to the monarchy's legitimacy crisis and Sarkozy's prison sentence for conspiracy, drawing a blunt line between optics, accountability, and who is allowed to hold power without question. From crown jewels to courtrooms, we trace how status shields certain people until it doesn't, and how public institutions try to survive by sacrificing titles instead of tackling culture.Then we bring it home to work. The “bonfire of the middle managers” is real: companies are delayering to move faster, often leaning on AI while burying staff in needless approvals. We break down when middle management is essential and when it becomes a wall. If you're stuck behind layers, you'll get practical questions to ask at interview and inside your team to test whether a structure enables delivery or protects turf.Soft skills are having a moment, but too often they're measured as vibes, not behaviours. We dig into how bias especially for Black women turns “be collaborative” into “be palatable,” and we reset the definition with tangible, observable actions: stakeholder updates, expectation setting, de‑escalation, influence without authority. We also confront maternal bias with facts and tactics, from evidencing workload allocation to securing written promotion criteria. If you've felt your opportunities shrink after motherhood, you're not imagining it and you're not powerless.A powerful listener dilemma anchors the episode: a high performer facing ADHD burnout, extreme hours, and stalled pay. We offer scripts and steps to protect health and momentum: formal neurodiversity disclosure, occupational health adjustments, medical time off to reset, and a targeted job search focused on real flexibility and fair measurement. Ambition isn't the problem; the design is. Map the gatekeepers, track outcomes, and be ready to change the room if the pattern won't change.Stay to the end for a candid riff on envy, boundaries, and guarding your joy as you grow. If this resonates, follow, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review—it helps more people find the tools to navigate and elevate.Sponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/ Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star Stationary Company: Sistah Scribble Instagram: @sistahscribble Website: www.sistahscribble.com

Every product manager obsesses over leadership styles, onboarding flows, and GTM strategies—but what if the biggest differentiator of success comes down to something much simpler? Learning. In this episode, Hannah Clark sits down with Maxine Anderson, Co-Founder and CPO of Arist, a text-based learning platform that flips traditional corporate education on its head.Maxine started her career in rural Oregon classrooms, where she saw firsthand how inaccessible and ineffective most learning environments were. That experience sparked the idea behind Arist: meeting people where they already are, through tools like SMS, Slack, and Teams. What follows is a candid conversation about why more content doesn't equal more learning, the real barriers that keep employees from growing, and how AI is reshaping not just education—but how organizations function.Resources from this episode:Subscribe to The CPO Club newsletterConnect with Maxine on LinkedInCheck out Arist

This document summarizes the key themes and "Golden Rules" for mastering a new skill, as presented in the provided excerpts from "Mastering Skills: Guitar and Beyond." The author uses their journey of learning guitar as a framework to outline universal principles applicable to a wide range of skill-based pursuits. The central idea is the transformation of theoretical knowledge into practical ability through consistent, focused, and analytical practice.The core message of the source revolves around the deliberate and structured approach required for effective skill acquisition. The author emphasizes that simply acquiring knowledge is insufficient; it must be actively converted into demonstrable proficiency. This transformation is guided by a set of "Golden Rules," which are presented as crucial for sustained progress and avoiding common pitfalls.Most Important Ideas/Facts (Golden Rules):The author outlines seven key rules for mastering any new skill, drawing parallels from their guitar learning experience:Consistency is King: The most critical element is regular practice, even in short bursts. The author states, "It's far more important to pick up that axe for a little bit almost every single day than to attempt an all-nighter once a month." This steady engagement builds momentum and reinforces learning. The author's personal goal of "30-60 minutes daily, broken into short bursts" exemplifies this principle.Immerse Yourself to Speak the Language of Licks: To truly master a skill, one must become deeply familiar with its fundamental elements, treating it like learning a new language. The author describes becoming a "musical sponge," "immersing myself in basic patterns, chord progressions, and simple melodies, repeatedly and daily." This foundational fluency is essential before attempting more complex aspects.Analyze Your Faux Pas to Fix Your Fretting Fails: Identifying and understanding mistakes is paramount for improvement. The author highlights the importance of dissecting "screw-ups" to understand "why your fingers are doing the funky chicken instead of a smooth chord change." Seeking feedback from "a more experienced jam buddy, a sympathetic teacher, or some online tutorials" is suggested as a means to pinpoint and correct these errors.Focus on the Fretboard, Not the Fame: Rather than fixating on distant goals or rapid progress, learners should concentrate on controllable actions in the present. The author advises against obsessing over achieving a certain level, which can lead to frustration. Instead, focus should be placed on "practicing your scales, drilling those tricky chord changes, learning new songs, and just playing for the sheer joy of it."Don't Try to Learn Every Solo Ever Written – Just a Few Key Riffs: Being strategic with learning is crucial. Attempting to absorb all available knowledge at once can be overwhelming. The author advocates for focusing on "a few targeted exercises" and resisting the urge to get "sidetracked by the siren song of a new, impossibly fast lick." This focused approach allows for deeper understanding and mastery of specific areas.Turn Knowledge into Skill with Tiered Tremolos: Theoretical knowledge must be translated into practical skill through systematic and repetitive practice at increasing levels of difficulty. The author describes a "tiered approach," starting with slow practice without pressure, then adding pressure, and finally increasing tempo and intensity. Each tier involves striving for perfect execution, moving to the next when proficiency is achieved.Don't Forget to Rock Out (and Have Fun!): Maintaining enjoyment in the learning process is vital for avoiding burnout. The author acknowledges that learning can be challenging but stresses the importance of finding joy in the process. They note that the "sheer joy of making even a slightly recognizable melody has only grown" during their guitar journey. If learning feels like a chore, motivation will likely wane.
Learning a new skill, like playing the guitar, requires transforming theoretical knowledge into practical ability. The author shares "Golden Rules" for mastering any new skill, derived from their guitar-learning journey.These rules include:Consistency is King: Regular, short practice sessions are more effective than infrequent, long ones.Immerse Yourself: Become deeply familiar with the fundamental elements of the skill, much like learning to speak a language.Analyze Your Faux Pas: Identify and understand the root causes of your mistakes to correct them.Focus on the Fretboard, Not the Fame: Concentrate on controllable actions like practicing, rather than obsessing over long-term goals or rapid progress.Don't Try to Learn Everything: Be strategic and focus on a few key areas for improvement instead of trying to absorb all available knowledge at once.Turn Knowledge into Skill with Tiered Tremolos: Systematically practice new concepts at increasing levels of difficulty and pressure to build proficiency.Don't Forget to Rock Out (and Have Fun!): Maintain enjoyment in the learning process to prevent burnout.Spoken by Felipe Khristopher Blue of More Than Therapy as his alias, the creative, Jamari Leonard.Do you need a therapist?

Tune in to the inaugural installment of the Suite Spot: Road Trip series! In this episode the Suite Spot takes a drive to SpringHill Suites Jacksonville Beach Oceanfront to meet with Area General Manager, Alex Reitter, and Area Director of Marketing & Sales, Samantha Pritchard. Alex and Samantha give viewers an inside look at the property's signature restaurant, The Sand Bar, and why this hotel needs to be the next destination on all traveler lists. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree. If you're listening to us or watching us on our YouTube channel, you'll see that we are not in our content creation studio in Maitland. We have hit the road for a new series, the Suite Spot Road Trip, and we are here at the Spring Hill Suites, Jacksonville Beach, Ocean Front. And I'm here with two wonderful guests joining me today, general Area General Manager Alex Reitter, and Area Director of Sales and Marketing, Samantha Pritchard. Alex. Samantha. Thank you so much for hosting us on the Suite Spot at your beautiful ocean front property. Alex Reitter: We're happy to have you. Thanks for coming out. Ryan Embree: Very excited to be here. As it is, Suite Spot tradition. One of the coolest thing about hospitality, we were talking about off camera is just our, the history, the DNA that gets built over the years. Maybe different brands, different management companies that you've been a part of. Everyone has a unique story, but it all leads us back to people serving people, right. That that's why we love hospitality. So love to hear maybe your backgrounds in hospitality and what let you here to a brand new property, which we're gonna talk about here shortly. Alex, we'll go ahead and start with you. Alex Reitter: Okay. Well, thanks Ryan. Thanks for coming out. Of course. Again. So, yeah, I think I have an interesting start in Hospitality fell into actually start out on small cruise ships. Intercoastal, I'm not even sure if you knew that Samantha. Samantha Pritchard: No. New Skills. Alex Reitter: So it was definitely a interesting start. You know, uh, intercoastal cruising, seven night trips up and down the, uh, east coast after college. You know, we did trips in Maine, Chesapeake Bay, all the way down to Florida. It was, you know, amazing experience. But when you're working six to eight weeks on a boat, nonstop, you kind of look for other options. And hotel kind of was a natural fit for me. From there, I've had a chance to actually work a courtyard down the street from this Spring Hill. And then actually a little time in the Florida Keys, uh, most recently in a Marriott in Durham, North Carolina. The weather got a little cold. It snowed a couple times on us, and we said, let's get back to Florida. So excited to be here. And excited to work with Samantha. I've only been here a couple months and ready to get the ball rolling. Ryan Embree: Well, I think you're our first guest that has got their hospitality start. I've, I've heard behind the front desk I've heard bellman. I don't know if I've ever heard on a cruise, so that's very, very cool. But it's a story that resonates probably with a lot of our hotel audience, and listeners sometimes just kind of jumping from place to place. But again, people serving people, hospitality. Samantha, you've had kind of a different journey here. Talk to us a little bit about that. Samantha Pritchard: Yeah, so I started my hospitality journey in the Convention Visitor Bureau with Visit Jacksonville. It was, it was some of the best years just learning the business, being around people that have been doing it a long time. So then I left the CVB and went out as a director of sales. So my first job on property was a director of sales, just from some of the hotel connections made dur...

Join the Target Internet team for a lively debate dissecting three of the most talked-about AI models in marketing today. In this episode, the trio evaluates the capabilities of ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Google's Gemini, sharing firsthand experiences and expert takes on where these tools excel, where they stumble, and how you can leverage them in your digital marketing strategy. Why AI Matters Right Now Shifting Industry Landscape – The unexpected rise of DeepSeek and the ongoing hype around ChatGPT showcase just how quickly AI can upend existing norms. This accelerated pace is driving new opportunities for automating tasks, improving content quality, and enhancing customer experiences. New Skills for Marketers – From prompt engineering to navigating privacy concerns, marketers need to learn new skills to harness AI effectively. The discussion offers insights on how to develop these competencies and stay relevant. DeepSeek: Surprise Contender or Copycat? Powerful Results – The hosts experiment with DeepSeek and discover its reasoning features can rival—and sometimes mirror—ChatGPT's output. The free version delivers impressively detailed responses, leading many to wonder if it's using ChatGPT's own data. Privacy and Security Concerns – DeepSeek's privacy policy raises eyebrows by potentially collecting user data ranging from cookies to keystroke patterns. If you're considering adoption, you'll want to weigh these risks and possibly opt for local, walled installations. ChatGPT: The Market Leader Evolves Advanced Prompting – ChatGPT's newest models feature improved reasoning. Tapping into its hidden “chain-of-thought” can offer deeper insight into how it arrives at answers, giving marketers a roadmap for refining prompts. Consistency and Reliability – Despite stiffer competition, ChatGPT still shines for its stable output and diverse applications—particularly if you have a paid plan offering the latest features. Google's Gemini: A Work in Progress Early Glitches – While Gemini promises powerful integration with Google's ecosystem, the hosts encounter errors and incomplete results. Patience and continued experimentation may be needed before Gemini becomes a serious rival. Sparking Possibilities – Despite current shortcomings, Gemini's potential—especially with deep research modes and integrated document workflows—could make it a strong contender once refined. Real-World Applications & Tips Enhancing Content Strategy – AI tools can generate everything from quick outlines to fully fleshed-out articles. However, the team stresses that human oversight is crucial to avoid misinformation and to add original value. Recruitment & Resume Screening – Discover how some applicants now rely on AI to craft uniform CVs and cover letters, creating challenges for hiring managers—and opportunities to innovate in the screening process. Workflow Integration – Explore advanced techniques like building custom GPTs, leveraging keywords-everywhere extensions, and experimenting with local AI instances for improved data security. Tune in now to stay on top of rapidly evolving AI trends.

The next big thing in Silicon Valley might just be an old-fashioned concept: humanoid robots that can mimic our physical abilities. Developments in AI are triggering renewed interest in the robotics industry. And Anthropic's latest Claude model can control a computer on its own, which could have implications for the future of work. But first, is the “best bromance in tech” starting to sour? That’s how OpenAI CEO Sam Altman once described his company’s partnership with Microsoft, but recently the alliance has shown signs of tension. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Natasha Mascarenhas for her take on all this for our weekly segment “Marketplace Tech Bytes: Week in Review.”
