At the Crexendo UGM, Dave Michels, Principal Analyst & Founder of TalkingPointz, sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to unpack “UCaaS Mobility 3” — a pragmatic, mobile-first model that moves enterprise calling from over-the-top apps to the cellular layer itself. Michels framed three generations of UCaaS mobility. Mobility 1 (find-me/follow-me) forwarded calls but split voicemail and caller ID. Mobility 2 (OTT softphone apps) worked well on strong internet — but faltered in truly mobile conditions (highway handoffs, variable coverage), pushing users back to personal cell numbers. Mobility 3 fixes this by placing the enterprise line on the SIM/eSIM: users choose business or personal at dial time, and enterprise calls ride native cellular voice for reliability, with full logging, recording, and policy control. The result: intuitive smartphone use (native dialer/contacts), optional UCaaS app, and clean work/personal separation without MDM intrusiveness. Michels highlighted why this matters now: Reliability on the move: Native cellular voice eliminates OTT fragility in transit. Compliance & CX: Enterprise calls and texts are captured and governed (finance, healthcare, education), and contact centers can transfer to subject-matter experts without losing recording/analytics. Frontline & deskless workers: Mobility-first roles (e.g., field services) can finally get enterprise-grade mobile that “just works.” Simplicity for IT & MSPs: One number can move across hard phone, soft client, and smartphone; less training and fewer behavior changes. Carrier convergence: With MVNO models (e.g., Crexendo's newly announced Xtend approach), service providers can bundle meetings, UCaaS, messaging, calling, and cellular — even globally — under a single brand and bill. Looking forward, Michels envisions “no more softphones” for many roles: users keep one phone, one dialer, two identities (business/personal), and enterprises preserve governance and data for AI-assisted analytics. For MSPs and resellers at UGM, the message was clear: Mobility 3 is a near-term, standard approach that elevates UCaaS into true mobile telephony, expands deal size and stickiness, and opens regulated and frontline segments.

Today, artificial intelligence is cemented as essential infrastructure in the legal world, marked by a record $2.4 billion in funding for legal tech startups in 2025, which signals a significant opportunity to rebuild the legal stack. This widespread adoption sees over half of in-house legal teams actively using generative AI for tasks like legal research and drafting documents. However, this revolutionary technological shift is unfolding alongside severe professional liabilities, as documented incidents reveal that attorneys and even court staff have utilized generative AI, resulting in embarrassing public failures where court filings and draft judicial orders contained fabricated citations and factual inaccuracies, often called "hallucinations". For example, one major U.S. firm publicly apologized and agreed to pay over $55,000 in attorneys' fees to compensate for the additional work required to identify and correct these AI-generated errors in a bankruptcy case.

Join host Justin Forman as he sits down with John Coleman, a leading investor in faith-driven entertainment, on the set of The Chosen to explore the explosive growth happening in faith and family content. This conversation reveals how Christians are reclaiming their place as culture-shapers through strategic capital deployment in Hollywood.Key Topics: • The shift from philanthropic "passion projects" to commercially viable platform-based investing in entertainment • How Wonder Project raised $100 million from faith-driven investors to unlock hundreds of millions more from Amazon and Sony • Why investing in platforms (not individual projects) creates sustainable cultural impact • The business infrastructure required to make faith-driven content commercially successful • How to apply private equity rigor to entertainment investing while maintaining creative authenticityPowerful Quotes:"My philosophy right now is bet on platforms, not projects. How can I ally with teams that are producing at the highest level of what they do and allow them to do the hard work of sorting through projects across multiple different projects." - John Coleman"The studio system puts $250 billion into content around the world every year. A lot of people have made a great deal of money in these production studios, but Christians had not really cracked the code." - John Coleman"If these projects are philanthropic, that money runs out one day. If you can create a return on investment consistently enough to get institutions confident in this as an asset class, that will unleash more capital." - John ColemanAbout John Coleman:John Coleman is a leading investor in the faith-driven entertainment space, helping to raise capital for platforms like Wonder Project that partner with major studios including Amazon Prime Video and Sony. His investment philosophy emphasizes backing proven teams and platforms rather than individual projects, applying venture capital rigor to create commercially sustainable faith-driven content. Coleman believes that by applying business discipline to entertainment investing, the faith community can unlock institutional capital and create a self-sustaining ecosystem that shifts culture while generating market-rate returns for investors.

There is joy in Israel this week — families are being reunited as 20 hostages are finally freed from the hands of Hamas. Any time innocent lives are saved, it is cause for celebration. These moments remind us what the ultimate goal must be: peace, security, and the hope that this cycle of bloodshed can one day end. But behind the celebration lies a grim warning. To bring these hostages home, Israel has agreed to release 2,000 Palestinian prisoners — many of them hardened terrorists responsible for the murders of innocent civilians. The world has seen this before: when killers are set free, violence follows. Today, we confront the uneasy truth — that a deal meant to advance peace could unleash a new wave of terror. We’ll examine the risks, the politics, and the individual horror stories of ten of the worst of these terrorists.

When tariffs return, power redistributes. From medieval tolls to modern trade wars, control has always taxed movement — and crypto was built to break that pattern.In this episode, I talk with Aly Madhavji, Managing Partner at Blockchain Founders Fund and one of the Knights on CryptoKnights, the Web3 Shark Tank–style show now streaming on Amazon Prime through Ritestream.io.We discuss:What Aly's looking for in the next wave of Web3 founders and ideasHow vaults could onboard the next billion usersAnd whether there's enough crypto royalty left to defend the space if another villain risesWant to see the full video version of this conversation?It's available exclusively for subscribers at tokentrust.substack.com

Get our ultimate guide: https://clickhubspot.com/fcv Episode 80: Are coders really being replaced by AI agents, or is this just the next tech hype cycle? Nathan Lands (https://x.com/NathanLands) is joined by repeat guest Matan Grinberg (https://x.com/matansf), co-founder of Factory—an agent-native software development platform backed by NEA, Sequoia, JP Morgan, and Nvidia. This episode dives deep into Factory's ambitious mission to transform software engineering by enabling developers—and entire organizations—to delegate painful, repetitive coding tasks to “droids,” Factory's intelligent agents. Matan shares strategies for helping massive enterprises adopt new workflows, how Factory's platform is built for surface/interface agnosticism (terminal, IDE, Slack, and more), and why optimization for teams—not individuals—will define the future of AI-powered development. Plus, debate about GPT-5's impact, the myth of “AI winters,” and what the real business ROI of AI looks like in the enterprise.

In this episode, CJ sits down with Joe Floyd, General Partner at Emergence Capital, for a candid conversation about the venture landscape reshaped by AI. They unpack how acqui-hires are rewriting the social contract between founders and investors, why AI engineers are commanding “boy band money,” and how SaaS playbooks are being torn up and rebuilt in real time. Joe explains the economics of AI-native startups — from circular capital flows to model-provider costs — and explores whether the next trillion-dollar private company could come from this new wave. Along the way, they discuss valuation frenzy, headcount discipline, and why curiosity might be the most valuable skill in tech today.—LINKS:Joe Floyd on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joefloyd/HarbourVest Partners: https://www.emcap.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:Why Fundraising Has Slowed Down: Insights from Emergence Capital's Benchmarking Report: From Credit Karma to Notion: CFO Rama Katkar on Leading Finance Through Every Growth Stage:—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:00) Preview and Intro(00:00:54) Opening and Episode Overview(00:02:53) Sponsor – RightRev | Tipalti | Aleph(00:07:07) Back to the Office and Startup Pace in San Francisco(00:08:40) AI Tooling Experiments and the Risk of Short-Term Hype(00:10:19) Building Stickier AI Products and Competing in Crowded Markets(00:12:27) SaaS Moats, Product-Market Fit, and the AI Shift(00:14:00) How Productivity Platforms Use AI To Stay Sticky(00:15:58) Continuous Authentication and the Next Wave of Security Tech(00:16:36) Sponsor – Rillet | Fidelity Private Shares | Mercury(00:19:54) Acqui-Hires, the Social Contract, and the War for AI Talent(00:22:42) Stock-Based Comp and the Economics of Attracting Engineers(00:24:39) The New Go-to-Market Playbook and Curiosity as a Superpower(00:27:59) AI's Impact on Sales, Forecasting, and Buyer Behavior(00:29:11) Coding Agents, Headcount Reduction, and the Future of Engineering(00:32:21) Building Defensible IP and Competing in the LLM Ecosystem(00:34:34) AI ROI, Payback Periods, and the Search for Efficiency(00:37:17) Valuations, Fund Cycles, and the Venture Market Reset(00:40:20) The Circular Flow of AI Capital and Infrastructure Overbuild(00:45:37) AI Pricing Models, Platform Wars, and Open Source Futures(00:50:02) The Race to the First $1 Trillion Private Company(00:51:09) Credits and Outro—SPONSORS:Fidelity Private Shares is the all-in-one equity management platform that keeps your cap table clean, your data room organized, and your equity story clear—so you never risk losing a fundraising round over messy records.

Bitcoin is hitting new all-time highs—but is this real euphoria, or just a prelude to it? In this double-header episode, we bring you a Bits + Bips roundtable and an in-depth interview on the five companies best positioned to bring crypto onchain. First, the Bits + Bips crew, Lumida's Ram Ahluwalia, FalconX's Joshua Lim, and NYU professor Austin Campbell, break down what's really driving this crypto rally. Is it dollar debasement, asset revaluation, or just pure animal spirits?  They debate how close we are to a true blow-off top, how to spot a real market peak, and what shocks could shelve bitcoin in an instant. Plus, their takes on Zcash, Japan, Coinbase's banking ambitions, and more. Then, Unchained's Steven Ehrlich sits down with Ryan Yi, author of the Onchain 5 series, to discuss the five companies that are leading crypto's push into real-world adoption.  From Coinbase's Base app and token plans, to Robinhood's play for tokenized assets, Stripe's all-in crypto tech stack, Telegram's TON-powered mini-app ecosystem, and Binance's BNB-based loyalty empire, this is the playbook for what going onchain really looks like.

This week on the GeekWire Podcast: How artificial intelligence is changing the way companies are created, built, and operated. We're on location at Pioneer Square Labs in Seattle with investor and entrepreneur T.A. McCann, a managing director at the startup studio and venture capital firm. He explains how AI agents are automating complex functions, letting small teams do the work that once required large groups of people. As AI makes product development easier, he says, the key strategic moat for many startups is now shifting to distribution and data. Other topics include: The wearable AI recorder that captures everything he says throughout the day. The rise of the "one-person billion-dollar company" powered by a suite of specialized AI agents. How AI-generated personas are replacing human focus groups for market research. The future of "agent-to-agent" conversations, where different AI systems negotiate with each other on behalf of their companies.

This isn't a simple trick—it's a groundbreaking advancement where clients are now seeing loan applications come in fully on the recommendation of AI. Over the years, the mortgage industry has had to adapt to massive tech shifts—think Google Business Pages and Google Reviews driving consumer-direct originations. But the next big wave is here, and it's all about AI. Chris explains how his team is helping loan officers get ahead of the curve, leverage this new technology, and position themselves to win business in an AI-driven world.

Here's the thing. We have had brilliant ideas in Web3 for years, along with better tooling and plenty of enthusiasm, yet adoption still feels slower than it should be. In my conversation with Maciej Baj, founder of t3rn, we got under the skin of why that is and what it might take to change the pace. His starting point is simple to state and hard to deliver at scale: make cross-chain interactions feel seamless for users and predictable for developers. If you can do that, the door opens to practical products rather than experiments that only the bravest try. Maciej describes t3rn as a universal execution layer for cross-chain smart contracts, and the phrase matters because it changes how we think about interoperability. Instead of stitching together a mess of bridges and oracles, t3rn lets a contract access state and data across multiple chains from one place. Today it is mapped to the EVM for broad compatibility, but the design is chain agnostic by intent. That choice is less about tribal loyalties and more about meeting developers where they already build while keeping the door open to other ecosystems as the market evolves. Trust shows up in the details, and atomic execution is one of those details that changes behavior. If a multi-chain transaction cannot complete in full, it reverts. No half-finished transfers. No manual recovery adventures. This mirrors what smart contracts already offer on a single chain, which means developers can reason about outcomes without inventing fresh playbooks for every hop. It also reassures users, who care less about the plumbing and more about knowing that funds either arrive or return. Cost matters too. t3rn has been engineered for cost-efficient token movement across chains, which sounds mundane until you price a complex strategy that touches multiple venues. Lower friction makes new use cases economical. Maciej outlined a few that caught my eye. Trading algorithms that read and act on signals from multiple chains without duct tape. Simpler asset movement across ecosystems that do not share a wallet culture or UX conventions. Agent-driven executors that can watch for arbitrage or rebalance a portfolio without constant human oversight. The theme is the same throughout. Reduce the number of hoops and you increase the number of people willing to try something new. We also looked ahead. t3rn is preparing an integration with hyperliquid and rolling out a builder program to widen the ecosystem on top of its execution layer. An SDK is on the way so the community can help bring in new chains faster, rather than waiting for a core team to do all the heavy lifting. There is a governance track forming as well, aimed at giving the community more say in integrations and priorities. None of this guarantees success, but it signals a path from protocol to platform. I left the conversation with a clearer view of why interoperability still matters in 2025. The multi-chain world is not going away. Users move between ecosystems. Developers deploy to several environments at once. Liquidity, identity, and logic already live in many places. A universal execution layer that is reliable, cost aware, and easy to build on is the kind of boring-sounding foundation that ends up changing behavior. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Summary: The healthcare industry is resilient, and even in times of financial pressure and policy uncertainty, new opportunities for growth and innovation emerge. In this episode, Dan Czech, VP of Insights at KLAS Research, shares findings from a survey of 169 healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) on how they are adapting to federal policy shifts and the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Many HDOs report they have yet to recover to pre-COVID margins, with narrow margins, staffing shortages, and rising costs compounded by the uncertainty of rapidly changing regulations. Lacking clear direction, organizations are acting now with multiple contingency strategies, workforce adjustments, and careful protection of patient-facing roles. Despite financial strain, IT and AI remain top investment priorities to offset workforce reductions and reduce clinician burnout, though many remain stuck in pilot programs. Dan notes that providers are reevaluating payer contracts, rural systems are leaning on federal programs, and the industry's resilience points to long-term progress. Tune in and learn how organizations are adapting to change and preparing for the future! Resources: Connect with and follow Dan Czech on LinkedIn.
