Join Sacred Systems in this month of September and get a bonus 1-1 call with me: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacredIn this episode I get into why the ADHD brain keeps hunting for the next new system, and how I stopped fighting that need and started designing around it instead. The key is pairing a single source of truth with a deliberate dose of novelty — and once I understood why both matter neurologically, everything stopped feeling like a character flaw.In this episode:• Why I stopped trying to use one tool that does *everything* and built a system that *connects* everything instead• How my Daily Hub in Notion gives me internal regulation — and why I no longer feel weird about needing that• The way I use Monarch Money as a 10-second daily practice to stay emotionally intimate with my money, without it cluttering my core system• How I bring novelty into my day without blowing up my system — by transferring that day's tasks into whatever physical or digital tool sounds good right now• What's included in Sacred Systems, plus the bonus one-on-one call I'm offering if you join before the end of September

Today's guest is Rahul Raina, co-founder of TRM Labs, which is a YC-backed company that works on solutions and products for security, fighting criminal networks, AI attackers, and more. With Rahul, we had a great chat that covered a lot of ground, starting with the tough reality of cyber defense today, and why attackers by default always have the upper hand when AI and technology improves. And then we moved to a deep dive into how the TRM team works and how they rebuild their whole product development workflow for AI, including reshuffling all the technical roles, compressing the developer process steps, and creating dedicated artifacts for human reviews.(00:00) Episode start(03:50) Introducing Rahul Raina(04:08) Why AI widens the gap between attackers and defenders(08:54) The asymmetry: attackers don't play by the rules(17:09) Inner loop vs outer loop: where the real bottleneck is(20:54) Redesigning the shipping framework around jobs, not roles(24:18) How to transition people: go slow before you go fast(34:24) What to hire for: problem solving, agency, humble craft(42:14) How builders review work: human-readable artifacts, not code(46:59) The harness interviews you: AI asks questions humans wouldn't(57:20) Build tools for understanding, not just for producing code-Today's episode is brought to you by Notion.Learn more about Notion's Developer Platform today at https://ntn.so/refactoring-You can also find this at:•

He joined Facebook very early, spent eight years there working closely with Mark Zuckerberg and ultimately became VP of Product and Engineering, before becoming a partner at storied venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, where he backed companies including Notion, Rippling, Clay and Statsig.In this conversation, Mike joins Vidit to unpack the journey from Microsoft to joining Facebook when it was still only a few hundred people, helping scale it through one of the most important periods in technology, and later becoming a partner at Sequoia before joining Conviction. He shares what he learned working closely with Mark Zuckerberg, why Facebook's obsession with speed became such an advantage, how he learned to spot exceptional founders, and why ambition remains one of the traits he values most.They also explore why Mike believes people risk “overfitting” to a job after seven years, what Sequoia taught him about great businesses, why he came back to venture after some of the most enjoyable years of his life with his family, and what changes when the cost of creating software starts approaching zero. Along the way, Mike shares the habits, quirks and principles behind his reputation as a “nerd's nerd”, from obsessive curiosity and inbox zero to the belief that the best leaders make the people around them better.Please enjoy exploring your curiosity._______Get in touch with us via email at contact@curiositycentre.comJoin our stable of commercial partners including the Australian Government, Google, KPMG,, Allens, Macquarie Capital, Xero, JP Morgan and more.

What happens when you get tired of forcing your business into software that doesn't quite work the way you want it to? Apparently, if you're me, you accidentally spend your birthday sabbatical building your own app. In this episode, Kara Duncan is taking over the mic and interviewing me about how a few experiments with AI tools turned into the Systems Professor app—and eventually opened my eyes to an entirely new direction for my business.I'm sharing how I went from custom GPTs, Airtable, Notion, and existing CRM tools to building software around the way I actually want my clients to experience Systems in Session. We're talking about Claude Code, vibe coding, personalization, accountability, AI, client experience, and why having the ability to automate something doesn't necessarily mean I should.And yes, we also talk about the fact that I got so absorbed in building the app that my husband handed me coffee on his birthday and I still forgot to tell him happy birthday.

Ti sei mai chiesta come faccio a pubblicare un podcast da 7 anni senza saltare quasi mai una puntata?Descrizione: In questo episodio ti porto dietro le quinte vere del mio lavoro, quelle non patinate. Ti racconto perché la costanza nasce da un sistema che ti tiene sui binari anche nei giorni in cui la motivazione proprio non c'è. Se lavori da sola e fatichi a essere regolare con i tuoi contenuti, questo episodio ti aiuta a capire cosa ti manca davvero.In questo episodio parlo di:Il mito della disciplina e perché è il primo pensiero da smontareCome organizzo il calendario del podcast in anticipo, decidendo blocchi di episodi invece di uno alla voltaPerché per me il podcast è un asset che continua a lavorare molto dopo la registrazione, a differenza dei contenuti socialCome uso Notion per raccogliere tutte le idee di contenuto in un unico databaseCome collaboro con Claude nella scrittura degli script, senza dover rispiegare ogni volta chi sonoPerché l'accountability, insieme al metodo, fa davvero la differenza per chi lavora da solaCitazioni da condividere: "Fatto è meglio che perfetto". "La costanza non nasce dalla disciplina all'interno di te, nasce dall'avere qualcosa o qualcuno che ti tiene sui binari nei giorni in cui la motivazione non c'è". "È un calendario fatto un po' come il bambù, che si piega ma non si rompe".Risorse menzionate nel podcast:Riverside, il tool che Silvia usa per registrare → https://riverside.sjv.io/SILVIALDashboard Notion, il prodotto digitale con la struttura di Silvia → https://systeme.silvialanfranchi.it/dashboardnotionitaVuoi supporto concreto per sbloccarti su comunicazione, vendita e mindset?

Michelle Oravitz was working in architecture when her own fertility health journey sent her down a different path. Today she's a fertility acupuncturist running a hybrid in-person and online practice at The Wholesome Lotus Fertility, teaching practitioners through her Fertility Coaching Certification, and growing her email list with online summits — one of which brought in 1,400+ new subscribers who open her emails at around 50%.In this episode, Michelle walks through the career pivot, where the line sits between clinical care and online coaching, why she built a certification for other practitioners, and how summits became her main list-growth channel alongside the content she already posts. She also shares how she hires and keeps virtual assistants, and what keeps her creative instead of depleted.If you're an acupuncturist, PT, yoga teacher, massage therapist, or health coach looking to grow an email list that doesn't depend on the algorithm, this one is for you.In this episode, you'll learn:

Dans cet épisode, Lorianne reçoit Alexe Martel et Julie Brouillette, qui sont à l'origine de LearnCute, un outil qui permet d'ajouter facilement des modules ludiques et interactifs à ses formations en ligne. La discussion explore pourquoi rendre l'apprentissage agréable n'est pas qu'une question d'esthétique, mais un vrai levier de rétention et de complétion des formations. Un peu plus sur Alexe : Spécialiste de la persuasion, Alexe Martel s'est d'abord fait connaître pour ses formations en rédaction persuasive, à travers son projet Les mots pour vendre. Aujourd'hui à la tête d'une business en ligne joyeusement chaotique, iel partage avec passion ses connaissances en marketing, en rédaction persuasive et en intelligence artificielle, tout en célébrant son amour singulier pour les grues de construction. Son livre sur le pricing de valeur, Ajoute un zéro, a été publié d'abord au Québec, puis en France. Un peu (beaucoup) désenchanté·e des réseaux sociaux, Alexe communique surtout via sa délicieuse infolettre. Le site web d'Alexe : https://lesmotspourvendre.com/ Un peu plus sur Julie : Conceptrice de sites web WordPress depuis 2017, Julie Brouillette a lancé son entreprise après un parcours dans l'industrie du jeu vidéo. Aujourd'hui, elle conçoit des sites web et des pages de vente clé en main pour les entrepreneur·es, avec un faible pour les configurations Thrivecart et un sens aigu du détail. Derrière son sérieux technique se cache un côté créatif assumé, avec une vraie passion pour l'organisation et une bonne dose d'humour bien à elle. Le site web de Julie : https://juliebrouillette.com/ Points principaux : La genèse du projet : LearnCute est né d'une frustration personnelle d'Alexe, qui a bricolé un générateur de code HTML avec l'IA pour recréer les modules qui lui manquaient sur sa nouvelle plateforme d'hébergement de formations. La pratique de la récupération : Les quiz, flashcards et dictées trouées sont les outils les plus efficaces pour mémoriser, bien plus que relire ses notes. Une intégration simple : Quelques champs à remplir suffisent pour générer un code HTML compatible avec la plupart des plateformes (WordPress, Squarespace, Notion). La responsabilité du formateur·trice : S'assurer que sa formation soit suivie et utile fait partie du mandat, surtout pour une clientèle moins autodidacte. Le pouvoir du MVP : LearnCute a été lancé en trois semaines et continue d'évoluer grâce aux suggestions de la communauté. ➡️ Utilise mon lien d'affilié pour te procurer LearnCute !

What if the future of executive leadership is less about specialisation and more about range?For years, senior leaders have been encouraged to go deeper into a single function.But in this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, I sit down with Joshua Horenstein, Senior Vice President, Administrative Office & Corporate Secretary at Innophos, to explore a different model: the dual executive.Joshua started his career as a lawyer before moving into a broader cross-functional leadership role spanning legal, HR, facilities, regulatory and other operational responsibilities. He argues that this breadth has made him a stronger executive because it forces leaders to understand the business beyond their original area of expertise.And as AI makes specialist knowledge easier to access, that ability to operate across functions may become even more valuable.5 things you'll learn from this episode:Why Joshua believes the traditional single-function executive model may be starting to break down, and what could replace itThe career move that took Joshua from law into HR and broader business leadership, and what it taught him about stepping outside your expertiseWhy AI could make it easier for executives to lead functions they were never formally trained in, and what still cannot be outsourced to technologyThe three leadership qualities Joshua believes will become far more important as AI changes how executives workHow taking responsibility for multiple functions can actually strengthen succession planning rather than create a leadership risk

The CHRO's real test isn't getting a seat at the table, it's whether the CEO would make the decision without them.In this special episode, Lewis Brown, Jr. - MA and Josh Klein of From Here Collective join Rich Jennings, Executive Advisor to Comcast, to explore what it means for the CHRO to become the CEO's trusted consigliere.Using The Godfather as an intentionally provocative analogy, they unpack the skills, behaviours and experiences that make an HR leader genuinely valuable at the highest level. From business fluency and fearlessness to asking better questions, building trust across the organisation and knowing how to influence decisions without needing to dominate the room, the conversation challenges the traditional boundaries of the CHRO role.For HR leaders, the biggest question is not whether you have a seat at the table. It is whether you are inside the decision-making circle before the decision is made. The episode offers a practical way to assess whether HR is operating as a functional expert, a business partner, or the strategic adviser the CEO cannot afford to make decisions without.5 things you'll learn from this episode:The surprising reason CHROs may have more strategic access than almost any other executive, but still struggle to turn it into influenceThe characteristics that can move an HR leader from trusted functional expert to indispensable strategic adviserWhy the strongest CHROs are increasingly expected to understand far more than HR, and what that changes about the roleThe tension HR leaders must learn to hold when the CEO, the workforce and the wider business do not all want the same thingThe question that can reveal whether you are truly inside the CEO's decision-making circle, or simply being informed after the fact

Growth usually makes business owners do one of two things. They either overcomplicate everything or they get brutally clear about what actually matters. In this episode of Systematic Leader, Liz Wilcox shares what it looks like to lead with simplicity while navigating a major season of change, including her acquisition of Smart Passive Income. What makes this conversation so useful is that Liz is not obsessed with building bigger, flashier systems. She is focused on building systems that help her team communicate clearly, stay accountable, and keep moving. We talk about the tools, habits, and personal rhythms that support her work, from Notion and Voxer to shared planning, weekly meetings, and old-fashioned pen and paper. Liz also opens up about the leadership pressure that comes with growth, the challenge of balancing work and family, and why self-awareness matters more than most productivity advice admits. If you are trying to grow without drowning in complexity, this conversation will give you a better way to think about systems. 1. Big growth demands simple systems Liz recently acquired Smart Passive Income, and that kind of move could easily push a business into chaos. Instead, she keeps coming back to simplicity. She explains how she relies on a small set of tools and consistent rhythms to keep work moving without building a bloated operating system around the team. 2. The best system is the one you will actually use One of the strongest themes in this episode is self-awareness. Liz does not pretend she works like everyone else. She builds systems around how she naturally operates. That includes layered reminders in Notion, visual prompts, calendar alerts, and handwritten planning. It is a practical reminder that a system only works if it matches the person using it. 3. Accountability is built into the day Liz shares how visible planning and regular communication help her stay accountable to her sister Patricia and the rest of the team. That daily transparency creates momentum. It also builds trust. Instead of relying on pressure at the end of the week, the team stays connected through simple check-ins, clear expectations, and shared visibility into what matters. 4. Fewer meetings, better communication As her team has grown, Liz has become more deliberate about how they meet. She walks through a focused weekly rhythm, with Mondays centered on planning and Thursdays centered on accountability and wins. The result is fewer wasted meetings and stronger communication across the team. 5. Leadership gets heavier as the business grows This conversation is not just about tools. It is about leadership under pressure. Liz talks honestly about the shift from managing one person to leading a team of five, the stress that comes with bigger decisions, and the emotional weight of creating stability while the business evolves. Her acquisition of Smart Passive Income adds another layer to that reality, making her insights especially relevant for founders in transition. Bonus: A small team habit that says a lot One of the most memorable examples from the episode is Liz's habit of scheduling morning Slack messages for her team across time zones. It is simple, but powerful. It helps people feel connected, seen, and supported. That is what strong systems do. They create consistency without draining energy. About Liz Wilcox Liz Wilcox is an email marketing expert, entrepreneur, and educator known for helping business owners grow through simple, effective email strategies. In this episode, she shares how that same practical mindset shapes the way she leads her team, builds systems, and navigates major business changes, including the acquisition of Smart Passive Income.

Episode Summary:Will and Brandt return from the summer backlog to reveal how Brandt built his own terminal macro — type WTF, hit return — to auto-generate this show's rough cuts and notes. Will shares a parallel project automating his DJ mix uploads, and the two unpack why lower-effort models like Sonnet outperform flashier ones once a workflow is dialed in, with quick hits on Notion, AI agents, and iOS 27's new Siri.Discussions Include:• Brandt's homemade "WTF" terminal macro that auto-generates rough cuts and show notes for this very podcast• Why dialing a workflow back to Sonnet worked better than letting flashier models like Opus and Fable run the show• Will's Fade Out project, which auto-edits, tags, and publishes his DJ mix recordings end to end• Barry, Will's AI agent, and the surprisingly awkward business of having an AI negotiate with contractors• Using Notion as a shared, always-current source of truth for both work and AI agent memoryQuotable Quotes (Should you choose to share):     "It's taken it from about a 45-minute process to about a 10-minute process.

Let's collaborate. Sometimes you go down a weird road that takes five minutes that would have taken me ten seconds to just do the work." - Brandt Krueger     "He has the ability to be on all the time, ask questions, get responses, respond immediately — it's freaking the crap out of contractors." - Will CurranThing of the Episode (TOTE):     Brandt: iOS 27 Beta (new Siri) - https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/apple-unveils-next-generation-of-apple-intelligence-siri-ai-and-more/     Will: Notion - https://www.notion.com

What actually happens when a federal contract gets cancelled midstream, and how a government contracting consultant turned a $300,000 NEH contract cancellation into a paid settlement, is the center of this episode. A consultant walks through the real operational side of running a GovCon consulting practice: the CRM systems that keep client opportunities from falling through the cracks, how a LinkedIn presence turns into signed clients, and what happens when an agency contract gets cancelled for convenience mid-project. If you're building or running a consulting practice in federal contracting, this is what the actual week looks like. Key points discussed: Why a CRM or shared tracking system (Airtable, Asana, Notion, or even a shared spreadsheet) is the difference between a found opportunity and a missed deadline How a weekly client report cadence (sent Monday or Friday depending on client activity) keeps clients engaged without constant check-ins Why LinkedIn's algorithm now favors long-form posts and articles over simple updates, and how consistent posting built a "thought leader" reputation that led directly to a signed client A real case: a $300,000 NEH contract cancelled for convenience after the agency came under budget pressure, and how the resulting settlement negotiation recovered the full outstanding balance Why a contract cancelled for convenience still counts as valid past performance and stays on your capability statement at full award value Where to actually find agency procurement forecasts, including the NASA forecast tool and the Army Corps of Engineers construction forecast, and why asking a contracting office directly for their forecast link is a strong first-contact question CHAPTERS 0:00 - Why every consultant needs a CRM system 1:10 - Airtable, Asana, and Notion compared for client tracking 2:05 - Setting a weekly client reporting cadence 3:15 - Getting organized before you try to scale 4:20 - Why LinkedIn is a business tool, not an ad 5:15 - How long-form LinkedIn posts built a thought-leader reputation 6:45 - A $300K NEH contract cancelled for convenience 7:45 - Negotiating the settlement and recovering the balance 8:35 - Where to find agency procurement forecasts Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

AI is moving faster than most organisations can redesign themselves, so how do you stop transformation becoming a series of disconnected technology fixes?Every leader says they want a high-performing team. But what happens when poor performance, missed standards and a lack of ownership are tolerated for too long?In the most recent HR Leaders Podcast episode, I had a fascinating conversation with Paul D. Brubaker, Vice President Human Resources at KARL STORZ North America.Paul shares what decades of leadership have taught him about building teams around trust, accountability and continuous improvement. From knowing when coaching is no longer enough to preparing HR teams for AI-driven change, he explains why great cultures are shaped by the behaviours leaders consistently reward, challenge and refuse to tolerate.5 things you'll learn from this episode:The overlooked “trust dividend” that can remove unnecessary checking, duplication and friction from your teamThe warning sign that tells leaders they may have held onto an underperformer for too longWhy the standards you quietly tolerate can become the culture your entire team starts to acceptThe AI opportunity Paul believes could remove huge amounts of transactional HR work, and the barrier still slowing many organisations downWhy staying relevant in HR will increasingly depend on your ability to learn, adapt and build new capabilities faster than your role changes

To run a solo business on AI, build a system of small skills and agents that handle the admin, comms, and ops so your time goes to creating.---Two founders who swore AI would give them their time back open the hood on what they actually run. Drew walks through 37 hand-built skills and a 21-layer system for writing in his own voice. Rory runs his whole business out of Notion and Claude, down to finding an online fax machine for New York State. Neither of them can remember what half their own skills do. That's kind of the point.This episode covers building an AI operating system for a one-person business. Topics include Claude skills and agents, a voice system for writing, email and call ingestion, Notion as a CRM, red-teaming contracts and MSAs, predicting LinkedIn reach, Nano Banana prompt engineering, and handling taxes, invoices, and vendor forms. Fable and Astra model releases open the show.

A booking tool is not a CRM. A project management tool is not a CRM. And the $20 to $40 a month you're trying to save by getting rid of yours might end up costing you bookings.Every single week I see someone on Threads asking if they can replace their CRM with Notion, Airtable, Google Workspace, or Squarespace. I use Notion and Airtable daily in my own business — and neither one of them would have replaced the CRM inside my photography business. So let's talk about what your CRM is actually doing for you before you cancel it.In this episode:The four things a tool has to do before it counts as a real CRMWhy conditional logic is the line between a CRM and a very organized file cabinetWhat actually happens (and doesn't) when a lead fills out your Squarespace formWhy "I have Dubsado and I'm not using it" is a setup problem, not a CRM problemWhere Notion, Airtable, ClickUp, and Asana genuinely earn their place in your stackLinks mentioned:The Best CRM for Photographers → https://coliejames.com/best-crm-for-photographers/Building a Custom Notion Dashboard with Ania Ha → https://coliejames.com/building-a-custom-notion-dashboard-how-i-streamlined-my-entire-business-with-ania-ha/Systems in Session → https://coliejames.com/systemsSitting on a CRM you set up but never fully figured out?

AI is moving faster than most organisations can redesign themselves, so how do you stop transformation becoming a series of disconnected technology fixes?In the most recent HR Leaders Podcast episode, I had an insightful conversation with Judith Wiese, Chief People and Sustainability Officer (CPSO) of Siemens AG.She explains how Siemens is rethinking its operating model, skills infrastructure and approach to AI as it becomes a more connected technology company. From simplifying the foundations underneath HR to embedding learning into everyday work, Judith shares how Siemens is preparing its people and organisation for a world where transformation never really stops.5 things you'll learn from this episode:The three-part AI model Siemens uses to separate everyday adoption from the much harder challenge of redesigning business processesWhy one of the biggest barriers to scaling AI has nothing to do with the technology itselfThe unglamorous HR foundations Siemens believes need to be in place before personalised learning and skills strategies can really workHow Siemens is using skills data to uncover far more internal career opportunities than traditional CV matching could revealWhy Judith believes the ability to keep learning may become more valuable than much of the knowledge employees already have today

COYOTE VS. ACME has crushed the box office, or at least exceeded expectations, so GREG FRANKLIN returns to the podcast that he co-created to talk LOONEY TUNES with Bob for this special "mini" episode, which turns out to be our second longest episode ever. It is the MY DINNER WITH ANDRE of OMFYS episodes. Just two dudes talking, and talking and talking. But hey, Cory always tells Bob that "people like long podcasts," so here we are. In a world of super hero fanboys, Greg is a funny animal guy, and he's an award-winning animator and co-founder of Six Point Harness Studios, so you're getting an expert opinion here. In planning this episode, Greg said, "I can Looney Tunes for hours," and he proves it right here with in-depth analysis of the works of Chuck Jones, Bob Clapmpett, Friz Freling, Carl Stalling and Mel Blanc, just to name a few. Here is a list of the cartoons discussed by Greg and Bob in this epic episode with the Tubi season and episode numbers, so you can find them more easily.

Ramit unpacks how resentment, unequal workloads, and conflicting ideas about money can push a marriage to breaking point, even when the numbers suggest a couple should be doing well. Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich speaks with Lauren and Robert, a married couple who have spent years building resentment around work, spending, and who carries the financial load. Lauren works three jobs, often 55–60 hours a week, while managing most of their finances. Robert, a retired Navy veteran who once believed retirement meant he wouldn't need to work again, has recently returned to work. On paper, they're doing better than they think, but they have just $24,000 in savings, around $70,000 in debt, fixed costs at 81%, and almost nothing currently being directed toward savings or investments. Along the way, a $700,000 inheritance, a $40,000 pool scam, a $3,200 bounce house, and a $150,000 pool became major sources of conflict. Lauren believes Robert needs to earn more. Robert feels like his opinion often doesn't matter because Lauren earns more. But Ramit quickly discovers that more income isn't going to solve what's happening between them. Their resentment has reached the point where they've talked about divorce. To move forward, they'll need to stop keeping score, create a shared vision for their money, and learn how to operate as a team. A special thanks to DeleteMe for sponsoring this episode.

Waziri Garuba, creator of G.R.I.O.T and CEO of HarlemLabs, talks about how he was inspired by the limitations of Siri and where the name for his custom AI persona, G.R.I.O.T, comes from. He  integrates several platforms including n8n.io, 11 Labs, Vercel, and it can be integrated with an LLM of choice, including Claude. The system operates using an agentic workflow where a central brain assesses inputs via webhooks. Incoming queries are classified into four categories: direct, tools, complex, or schedule-based to determine the appropriate routing. He explains how his agent can talk to the platforms. The First Automation Waziri describes how he built his first automation which was an auto email response maker designed to monitor Gmail every minute. The agent reviews unread messages and drafts responses in his specific writing style while logging actions in a spreadsheet. His current evolved system uses a contact map to identify known contacts and manages inbox organization through classification and labeling. Tracking Health and Fitness Waziri talks about how he uses G.R.I.O.T in his personal life. He calls it G.R.I.O.T in the Garage. Waziri utilizes a Notion database to track health reports and personal fitness goals. The G.R.I.O.T agent can access this data to design customized workouts and automatically add them to his calendar. He demonstrates how the agent can interact with his calendar to move appointments or set reminders based on terminal tasks. The Technical Landscape Waziri explains how G.R.I.O.T can integrate with many tools and finds the best tool for the job. The technical landscape consists of specialized sub-agents for platforms like Airtable, Google Drive, Monday, and Notion. These agents act as "appendages" that handle specific tasks such as searching files or managing relational databases. Waziri utilizes Tavily, an AI-driven search tool used by developers. It operates like Perplexity to help the agents find real-time information. Mobile Accessibility Waziri  interacts with G.R.I.O.T through Telegram, allowing him to send voice memos while on the go at the gym or traveling. This mobile interface enables him to delegate research, schedule follow-ups, or draft emails using simple spoken commands. He prefers Telegram over other messaging apps because it offers easier integration with n8n for building custom workflows. He explains how it helps him manage his emails, both incoming and backlog, and newsletters. The Finance Tools A dedicated suite of finance tools helps Waziri manage debt, income tracking, and expense reporting through QuickBooks and Google Sheets. The system implements a behavioral mechanism to automate saving ten percent of incoming funds into a separate account. One specific agent provides regular reports on interest rates for student loans and credit cards to help prioritize debt repayment strategies. Professional Services Waziri serves CEOs and high-level executives by helping them map out their operational needs before implementing AI tech stacks. He offers an eight-week course called the Operators Map at theoperatorsmap.com to teach governance and automation design. His business engagements focus on helping operators transition from manual processes to efficient, automated systems through HarlemLabs.com.

Greg Benadiba has been a recruiter for 21 years, and he opened his new book with the most expensive phone call of his career: the one he didn't make. In this return episode of The Elite Recruiter Podcast, Greg sits down with Benjamin Mena to put the principles from Recruitment Principles: Timeless Truths in the Age of AI to work, starting with the three he would keep if a recruiter could only live by three. Before we get into it, Finish The Year Strong 2026 kicks off September 28 through October 5. It is a free virtual summit built to help you close out 2026 with momentum and set the foundation for 2027. All live sessions are free. Register here: https://recruiters-finish-the-year-strong.heysummit.com/  This episode is brought to you by Atlas, the AI first CRM that captures every call, email, LinkedIn message and interview automatically, then tells you the next action to take. Atlas customers report 50 percent higher candidate response rates, 15 hours saved every week and monthly billings up 85 percent. Learn more at https://recruitwithatlas.com/  Then the episode gets tactical. Benjamin plays a candidate who just accepted a 15 percent counteroffer and Greg runs the conversation live, showing why counteroffers are won or lost in the very first call, not the last one. Greg walks through the roughly 25 touchpoints his team has mapped across the candidate journey, the post placement survey system he built for about $20,000 that flags a struggling placement inside the first two weeks, and the story of Nancy, a placement whose 5 out of 10 survey score triggered the call that kept her in the job. He shares the exact referral ask that leads a placed candidate back to the people they mentioned in their very first conversation, and why more than half of his firm's business now arrives that way. Greg is one of the most AI forward leaders in the industry, which makes his list of things he will never automate more interesting: the prescreen, the reference call and the offer call. He explains why he passed on voice agents, how his team runs a Notion knowledge base tethered to a custom GPT that he estimates has saved around 5 percent of the firm's business, and what he means when he says AI will reveal who was never really recruiting.   For the first time on the show, Greg tells the full story of how a 24 year old applicant who was rejected as too junior came back a month later, got the job, and years later became the owner of that same firm. As Greg tells it, it started with a small gift of shares from the founder, continued with a decade of buying more, and ended on the day his boss handed him a resignation letter. He closes with the question nobody ever asks him, and the answer is a plan of 100 mapped calls every single day.  Coming up in November, the first ever Firm Leaders Summit runs November 16 through 18. Live sessions are free. Registration link: Details soon

Would you trust two brothers with zero aviation experience to run El Salvador's helicopter tours, plane charters, and Bitcoin travel experiences? Thousands of Bitcoiners already have. Today on Live From Bitcoin Beach, I sit down with Mauricio and Diego Villeda, founders of Bitcoin Life, the Bitcoin tourism and concierge service company that convinced El Salvador's Minister of Defense to lend them Air Force helicopters. I wanted the full story of how two guys orange-pilled by a $5K Bitcoin client built the most Bitcoin-native travel operation on the planet, and they didn't hold back.It all started with a free Notion page built to help Bitcoiners travel El Salvador, covering transportation, places to stay, and spots that accept Bitcoin over the Lightning Network. Three days after launch, Stacy Herbert retweeted it, and strangers at the Adopting Bitcoin conference were showing the brothers their own guide without knowing who made it. That one retweet turned a side project into a company, and it proved something maxis have said for years, that proof of work beats marketing budgets.These days the brothers run helicopter tours to places most tourists never see, including Lake Ilopango, a lake that had zero tourism when gangs controlled the area. They fly clients beyond El Zonte, land in soccer fields, and pay the local caretakers in sats to clear the space. For Bitcoiners flying in from abroad, they also run VIP airport pickups that take you from immigration straight to a helicopter, plane charters connecting El Salvador with Próspera in Honduras for around $3,000 per group, and real estate guidance for investors front-running the nation-state adoption wave. Every booking, vendor, and ticket runs on Bitcoin, feeding the Bitcoin circular economy that fiat skeptics love to claim doesn't exist.Their biggest project is still ahead, a Bitcoin Street in the Centro Histórico of San Salvador where every business accepts Bitcoin, complete with an academy, an art gallery, and rooftop coffee shops. The brothers are raising from investors before Bitcoin Histórico this November, and I love their case for it. A district that was too dangerous to visit a few years ago deserves a permanent Bitcoin landmark, and low time preference built this country's turnaround.If you've ever wanted to see El Salvador from a military helicopter while paying in sats, these are your guys.

The real payoff for having an SOP is that you can start handing pieces of it off. I built a scheduled Claude skill that checks my Notion podcast planner for episodes marked ready to publish, pulls the video and the MacWhisper transcript out of Google Drive, writes the description and show notes, and uploads everything to RSS.com scheduled for the date I picked. It runs Wednesday overnight so I can review the episodes Thursday morning before they drop. Three things make it reliable: knowing my own process cold, giving it strict instructions for writing and link gathering, and an API that actually works.Resources & LinksGet my full podcast production SOP — streamlined.fm/sopRSS.com — the host for this show; video support and the API behind this automation (affiliate link)Claude — where the scheduled skill runsMacWhisper — watches the folder and transcribes each episode automaticallyNotion — my podcast plannerHave feedback?

Visual collaboration is missing from the AI era. That's the provocation Elaina O'Mahoney, Chief Product Officer at Mural, brings to this episode of The Product Podcast with Carlos (CEO at Product School). We spend all day alone in our tools, typing or talking to an LLM, and when it's time to collaborate we drop words into a doc instead of thinking together visually. Elaina makes the case that AI has quietly turned work into "solo-player mode," and that the teams who win next will be the ones who rebuild shared context and multiplayer collaboration on top of it.Elaina and Carlos get into why ideas are now cheap (you can go from a thought to a working prototype in hours) and why that makes shared context, not idea generation, the real bottleneck. She argues that everyone is a designer at heart, that product leaders should replace the five-page strategy doc with a fast prototype that conveys the North Star, and that "shipping" can mean a workflow or an agent, not just a production release. They also dig into the crowded "where work happens" landscape (Slack, Teams, Jira, Linear, Notion) and the blank-canvas gap around how and why decisions actually get made, how to create safe spaces for people to try AI and fail inside large enterprises, and the pricing tension between legacy seat-based SaaS and AI-native usage models.What you'll learn:- Why Elaina says visual collaboration is "absent" in the AI era, and why that matters- The "solo-player mode" problem: how AI made work lonely, and what multiplayer should look like- Why ideas are now cheap, and how that shifts the bottleneck to shared context and faster decisions- Why the real blank space isn't planning or chat, but how and why decisions get made- The case that everyone is a designer, and how visual thinking speeds up decisions- How a CPO ships to demo a direction (a prototype instead of a strategy doc)- What's still scarce in an AI world: data science, taste, and synthesizing analytics- How to create safe, low-risk spaces for teams to try AI and fail inside big enterprises- Why smaller "champion" teams beat top-down rollouts, and how internal builders spread practices- The pricing dilemma: seat-based SaaS vs. AI-native usage modelsChapters:00:00 Intro00:59 Intro: Elaina O'Mahoney, CPO at Mural01:31 Mural's origin as a collaboration canvas03:01 Multiplayer vs. AI's solo-player mode04:23 Ideas are cheap now: idea to prototype in hours05:44 The competitive landscape and convergence08:31 The blank space nobody owns: how decisions get made09:22 Lowering the bar so everyone can design11:33 Everybody should be shipping now12:25 Shipping to demo, not to production14:04 Creating safe spaces to try AI in the enterprise17:10 Forward-deployed engineers19:14 Building a community around Mural22:11 The pricing dilemma: SaaS vs. AI-native usage24:07 Measuring real AI impact26:19 How Elaina structures her team28:20 The innovator's dilemma30:03 From annual QBRs to monthly loops31:05 Ten years of Mural, and a World Cup sign-offConnect with the Guest:Elaina O'Mahoney, Chief Product Officer, MuralLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eomahoney/Host: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Mural: Mural is a visual collaboration platform built for teams to brainstorm, converge, and make decisions together on a shared canvas.

Patrick Renna (The Sandlot, The Big Green, Dugout Dads) joins us this week for a warm and surprisingly raw conversation about carrying a movie three generations have loved since he was thirteen years old. Patrick gets into the almost ridiculous way he landed The Sandlot, why the you play ball like a girl scene was never written for him, and why he will not perform the line everybody asks him for. We also get into the single negative comment that can undo fifty good ones, the money reality of making scale on a classic, and the moment he nearly cried talking about what he hopes his kids remember about him.

It's been a while since we checked in on note-taking apps and ways to wrangle their data, and a lot has changed with our personal use cases on that front. Will has gone deep on Notion's relational capabilities and seen how well they can support a shared knowledge base for a team of a couple dozen people. Meanwhile, Brad has done a survey of apps targeted at the individual end user, with the goal of fully owning the data and controlling how and where it's synced. We round up everything we've discovered in this week's episode, with some detours into things like rclone cloud mounts, the amazing utility of the (nearly) universal format conversion tool pandoc, and more.

Dan doesn't usually sit in the interviewee's chair — but when journalist and author Allison Gilbert invited him to speak at the 92nd Street Y as part of their Connected Lives series, he said yes. What followed was one of the more wide-ranging conversations Dan has had about his own practice, his own anxieties, and why he's become convinced that inner work divorced from relationships is just selfishness dressed up as self-care. The evening also included a guided loving-kindness meditation — metta practice — that Dan led live with the audience. They talked about: Why Dan thinks the meditation world's PR problem has shifted — it's no longer "this is weird hippie stuff," it's "I get it, but I personally can't do it" The upward spiral: how taking care of your mind improves your relationships, which improves your inner weather, which improves your relationships further — and the "toilet vortex" that runs in the opposite direction Free-range mindfulness: why brushing your teeth or standing in a grocery line can rewire your brain just like formal seated practice The self-compassion toolkit — Kristin Neff's three-step practice, distanced self-talk, and why putting your hand on your heart is "cheesy as f*ck" but actually works Joseph Goldstein's single best question for breaking an anxiety loop: "Is this useful?" Why micro-interactions — with your doorman, your barista, a stranger on the elevator — are one of the most underrated sources of happiness Allison Gilbert is a journalist, author, and the creator of The Joy of Connections, a book and companion app designed to help people build more meaningful relationships. She writes and speaks about human connection, grief, and resilience. Learn more at allisongilbert.com.
