Innovation, AI, and next-gen leaders must successfully adapt to constantly changing landscapes.Accounting Influencerswith Rob BrownThe accounting profession stands at a crossroads, faced with technological disruption, shifting business models, and an evolving workforce. In a recent episode of the Accounting Influencers podcast, industry leaders Bobby Lane, CEO of Factotum; Tony Szczepaniak, CEO of LEA Global; and Rick Richardson, CEO & Founder of Richardson Media & Technologies, engaged in a dynamic discussion about the state of accounting, the biggest threats facing the profession, and the opportunities ahead.More Accounting Influencers with Rob Brown hereSzczepaniak emphasizes the pressing issue of talent shortages, noting that regulatory bodies are exploring new ways to accelerate certifications and attract non-traditional candidates. He acknowledges that while some firms are innovating, others remain stagnant. "The firms that can clearly articulate their value proposition and adapt to strategic conversations internally will thrive," he asserts.Richardson paints a stark picture of a divided profession, describing it as a "sandwich" where younger professionals are innovating on one side while senior partners near retirement show little interest in transformative change. He warns that attracting young talent requires a shift in perception: "We need to do a better job of selling what accounting really is and what it offers to young professionals. Right now, they see better financial incentives and career growth elsewhere."Lane echoes this concern but offers a different perspective, citing that young professionals are still entering the profession but are more likely to view it as a short-term stepping stone rather than a long-term career path. "They want to gain qualifications, move into financial planning and analysis, corporate finance, or even start their own businesses," he explains.The panel agrees that technology, particularly AI and automation, will significantly impact the profession but not in the way many fear. "People panicked that cloud accounting would eliminate accountants. It didn't. Instead, it shifted the value from processing to advisory services," Lane argues. He sees a similar transition with AI: "The challenge now is for accountants to become translators of numbers, helping businesses interpret and act on financial insights."

Let's find the good in experiencing stress so that you don't shortchange yourself out of its ability to instill inner confidence in your capabilities. We are focused on experiences such as birthing a baby, building a business, or navigating a everchanging workplace. Just because someone else fell apart in any of those situations, it does not mean that you will too. It's unique to you, yet worth uncovering, because when you get to the other side of a stressful situation, if you embody at least one learning or lesson, then you will have increased your capacity to handle more stressful situations. This comes in handy, as life often hands us stress at a pretty hot and heavy pace. In this article, we'll interweave the four noble truths along with personal stories that showcase the value of embracing stress rather than running away from it. There have been so many occasions when I was told not to put so much pressure on myself, and it was out of those circumstances, where I didn't let their thinking impact mine, that I can now tell my greatest stories of defiance and delivery. A memorable such moment was during my first semester of law school. My mom told me this: 'Watch out, Melissa, and try not to experience too much stress.' She was giving me a fair warning based on her own sensitivities to stress. My mom has manic depression. A person with manic depression can be sent into an episode or spell by stress. While that guidance came from her experiences, it also came along with her tender concern for my mental health. My mental health, on the other hand, has proven sturdy, in great part because I've had ample opportunities to practice the art of experiencing stress. Law school wasn't a moment of redemption, but it was the time I realized my limit. I'm glad I didn't listen to my mom, because then I wouldn't have discovered my kryptonite. We need to know our kryptonite and how to overcome it. Somehow, it was that combination of overwhelming debt and basing my self-worth on school grades that almost broke me. I got through that time mentally unscathed, thankfully, but intuitively, I knew it was close. There's a benefit to knowing how far you can go. That experience gave me the courage to finally pursue my dream career in advertising. Taking a pay cut didn't seem so bad when the alternative was six-figure debt and no income. The trick is to always stay beneath that line. My self-publishing experience with Fertile Imagination pushed me to that limit. I had gotten my edited copy of my manuscript extremely late, and to compensate for that delay, I sat in my chair for twelve hours straight. The pressure I put on myself to finish the book was enormous. Around the twelfth hour, I felt a crack in my neck, which turned into a year of pain, physical therapy, and an MRI. Ever gotten an MRI? I've been through a lot, but somehow my anxiety was insane during that MRI, and my relationship with God has never been closer. It was like a church service in that cylinder. Yet, this was another opportunity to practice coexisting with stress. I don't regret that experience, and I know I learned from it. The other side of that stressful moment was completing my book and focusing on my physical health, a goal I'd been writing about for decades. Yet, somehow, I had to crash physically to finally pursue it. In these two cases, I needed to experience these greater stresses to build the confidence and conviction necessary to believe I could endure the kind of stress it takes to go after what I've always wanted. What if the same is true for you? What if, rather than avoid stress, you walked right into it with a different perspective? What if you need that vote of confidence—knowing you can handle a ton of stress—to get the kind of laser focus necessary to finally jump into your greatest personal or professional adventure? What if you need to have something to say: 'Well, if I did that and didn't die, then I might as well go for this'? I want to share a new way to think about stress because it's the reality of being human. As a meditation practitioner, I thought I'd enlist the help of the four noble truths to help us see the profundity in otherwise stressful experiences. My meditation offerings are secular, yet I do think ancient wisdom has its place in stress management. It gives me comfort to know that my experiencing stress is not novel; it's normal and expected. So, let's turn to commonly held beliefs that we can anchor this conversation in—the four noble truths Understanding the Four Noble Truths The Four Noble Truths are fundamental to Buddhism and describe the nature of reality and the path to liberation. They are: 1.     Dukkha: This is often translated as "suffering," but more accurately encompasses unsatisfactoriness, frustration, and the inherent impermanence of all things. 2.     Samudaya: The origin or cause of dukkha, which is identified as craving, attachment, and aversion. 3.     Nirodha: The cessation of dukkha, which is achieved through the elimination of craving and attachment. 4.     Magga: The path leading to the cessation of dukkha, known as the Noble Eightfold Path, which encompasses right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. 1   The Inescapability of Stress in Modern Life You don't need to be a Buddhist to believe that being human means experiencing suffering. Just look around corporate America—you can see and feel it everywhere. According to Ohsa.gov, 83% of US workers suffer from work-related stress. You can be stressed about having, keeping, leaving, or getting a job. The sound of a ping can spike your cortisol levels. It doesn't take much to suffer these days. We experience a constant, low-grade level of stress or anxiety, and our baseline sensitivity to stress is very low. This comparison comes from the constant barrage of information we consume daily, which contributes to "sympathy stress," as well as the fact that many of us are openly struggling. This is why it's necessary to find a way to coexist with stress; it's inescapable. A Yoga Analogy for Managing Pain In my pre-natal yoga class with my firstborn, the teacher had us sit on our bent toes. Her rationale was to have us experience physical pain and, instead of running away, breathe through the stretch. Was this comparable to birthing any of my kids? Heck no! It was a way to introduce the idea of feeling pain and remaining still within that feeling. The teacher's approach was to increase our tolerance for the inevitable pain of childbirth. The pain of childbirth is inescapable. This toe stretch gave me a chance to imagine being with inescapable pain in a situation where I could escape. It's this intentional decision not to escape an escapable pain that builds confidence. You have the chance to escape discomfort, yet you wrangle your fears and push forward anyway. There's immense power in those moments. This is where your practice comes in, and how meditation can help you coexist in an empowered state amidst life's struggles. You can pause and breathe through life's emotional ups and downs instead of panicking and stopping the train. The Second Noble Truth: Understanding Craving, Attachment, and Aversion The second noble truth is Samudaya. It's the craving, attachment, or aversion to the feeling of stress. It's always a practice for me. As a business owner, it's easy to crave a consistent income or feel attached to maintaining a certain reputation. Aversions are real for us, too, such as my aversion to tech issues. Yet, my perpetual thoughts about these situations have gotten in my way. These situations are tough enough. By experiencing this second noble truth, I'm not doing myself any favors. This is why equanimity helps; it helps us focus on what's needed in the moment. I'll share an example in a bit. But first, let's turn this to you. The Fear of Obsolescence in the Age of AI Let's talk about craving for career permanence. Whether you are an entrepreneur or employee, this idea translates. The fear of becoming obsolete (FOBO) is rising among workers as AI advancements accelerate. A Gallup poll found that 22% of U.S. workers are concerned about their jobs becoming obsolete due to technology, and that figure is up from 2022. Imagine how freelance copywriters or coaches feel these days. Some feel like they are being promptly put out of business. The threat is real; however, thinking about the threat is stealing the time necessary to uplevel your skills or take actions to support your business. You are adding a layer of unnecessary suffering, draining your finite energy. AI is here, and so are you. How can you coexist with AI? This reminds me of those required college courses I didn't like. They were inescapable and boring. However, it was me who made them feel brutal when I procrastinated reading those ancient texts. Fast forward to today, and I can say that I had the same thoughts while completing some requirements for my meditation certification program. Finding Peace in Meditation (and a Bird's Nest) One week, I experienced a silent meditation in a house with three young boys and my husband. This was the kick-off to my meditation practitioner training. At the time, walking meditations were part of the daily experience, and I hated them. I'd pace in my yard, which was really boring. It reminded me of psych wards with outdoor spaces where I visited my mom. Sometimes she was in, and other times she was out. I felt a deep aversion to this mode of meditating. Yet, I had to do it a lot, so I opted to stare into the leaves of my trees instead of watching my pacing feet. You know what I realized? I saw a nest in the tree! This got me thinking about how I was a mama bird in a nest with my young. Noticing what was real—my breath and the nest—helped me. I smiled. Navigating the AI Revolution: A Path to Coexistence (The Third and Fourth Noble Truths) Stress is real, but suffering is optional. You can shift your thinking from whether you hate or love AI to saying to yourself, "AI is here. How can I co-exist with AI? Is there a right way for me to navigate AI? Might there be a right way to understand AI that can help me?" Once in the present, focused on the facts, you will experience the third noble truth, which is Nirodha. The path to this truth is called "magga," which is also the fourth noble truth and comprises several factors: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.   The eightfold path offers us an ideal way to coexist with stress. I haven't fully embodied it yet, but I feel as if each encounter with stress has given me a chance to practice it. Lessons from a Car Accident: Embracing the "Rights" Years ago, I experienced my first car accident. I was sitting in a parking lot in my new Honda minivan, waiting for my mom. A parked car, coming out of its spot, backed into my car. My minivan was perhaps months old, and this was my first accident. The other driver came out, shouting about how unnecessary the accident was. His wife quickly calmed him down, and then we exchanged information. I felt overwhelmed and wasn't thinking about Nirodha. I turned to my mom and said, "This shouldn't have happened! How can I get into an accident when I wasn't even moving?" She said, "Melissa, these things happen in life." Months later, I was in another accident in a parking lot, but I was moving this time. This second time felt different because I adopted my mom's wisdom. It was more manageable, and if we analyze it through the "rights," I'd say I had the right understanding. What if stressful situations are necessary to achieve all those "rights?" What if you're short-changing yourself by not increasing your stress management skills? I'd argue that this is true. I'm not suggesting you complicate your life, especially if it's already incredibly stressful. Instead, I'm urging you not to miss a life-giving moment where the gift is practicing the eightfold path. Once you see these as practices, you can teach your kids how to use stress for their benefit. A Son's BJJ Tournament: Wrestling with Life's Challenges This past weekend, one of my sons competed in a BJJ tournament. My eleven-year-old is not required to compete at that level. He could have competed at his local school. Yet, this isn't realistic to how we must compete in life for a job, medal, or resources. So, I encouraged him to compete, even though his first match was against someone who had previously won eleven times. Would you have done the same? Why would any mom allow that? Here's why: you will face outsized stresses in life, and these moments have allowed me to wrestle with the "rights." I got my greatest learnings and confidence from those hard bits of life. I don't win them all, but I've gained more "rights" along the way. Why would I cheat my son of that? So, he competed. I wanted him to take one lesson to the next match. For example, he was advised to stand up and not go straight for the legs in the second round. Did he do it? He tried, but it took the third round. That last round was unexpected. He was winded, tearful, red, and already out of his Gi. Was he going to do the fourth match? That third round, he gave it his all. There were hundreds of people looking at my kid. This is where my life experiences helped us both. Recognizing that my son had had enough, I could relate to so many moments as a kid when I had had enough, and yet life doesn't always give you a choice to walk away. I knew that because I experienced that. I pushed my son to return to the mat that fourth time because this was the right action, and I know that these moments are additive to the stories we tell ourselves about what we are capable of. It shapes how my kid will think about his ability to handle humiliation, boos, competing, and training. It gives him a sense for what it takes to compete with people who have won. His capacity to handle stress was increased in that moment. Imagine facing someone who has won 11 times during your first tournament, then having to enter round after round, loss after loss? This translates to failing in school, in business, and in relationships. My son was practicing the "right concentration" four times more on the mat than off on a typical Saturday. He was wrestling with the "right thoughts" even more than that. These encounters can be fruitful. They contribute to a rich life that can make you invaluable in the life of someone else.

We deep dive into some of the deeper implications to what we are observing in the rapidly expanding AI ecosystem. It is clear that the majority of market interest is beginning to gravitate toward AI agents and discovering new verticals of application and use within the context of the web3 economy. We ponder what the end results of this will look like as it will expand the participation pool beyond the capacity to attract retail eyeballs and capital into the market. With Agents having deep contextual awareness of how to custody their own assets and how to engage with protocols in order to increase their own internal wealth, this will effectively accelerate all future market cycles by many orders of magnitude. However much of a break through this is for the crypto markets, there is a deeper story overall to the existential realities of a physical and digital economy that are both dominated by AI agents and automation technologies, effectively making humans obsolete and void of purpose within the market economy. We ponder some of the already proposed solutions to this such as UBI's that are directed toward sustaining human needs in a world where everything is in abundance. Perhaps a complete revamp of our value systems are what is needed, and an even more concerning potential to the entire AI race is the complete removal from human involvement in a future economy completely dominated by the AI Agents we are deploying and refining today. Topics: First up, deep dive into some of the deeper implications in the rapidly expanding AI ecosystem.

We are joined once again by Professor Clara Mattei, Director of the nascent Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) at the University of Tulsa. CHE's entire mission is formed around breaking the grip of the exploitative model of economics we are all too familiar with and finding a better path. Listen in to give the middle finger to Adam Smith's Invisible Hand. Then, we look at how the history of the AIDS epidemic is rife with examples of how Big Pharma places its unquenchable thirst for exorbitant profits far above any concern for the lives its wondrous medicines could save. Finally, Jessica Wildfire's post at The Sentinel Intelligence tells how obsolescence was an idea purposefully put into place to ensure the profits kept rolling in - right to the top!

The tax assessor's notice isn't always the final say on what taxpayers must remit. Companies can easily appeal these decisions with a proactive appeal strategy for their real and personal property taxes . Property tax can encompass a large portion of your company's tax burden and with rising assessments there is a feeling of uncertainty in an already unpredictable economy. Weaver's state and local tax professionals, Jason Armstrong, Senior Manager, and Shane Stewart, Partner-in-Charge, join Tyler Kern for an episode of Weaver Beyond the Numbers to discuss how and why organizations should take a second look at their property tax appeal process. Both Armstrong and Stewart bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the topic. First, Armstrong explained, “Businesses receive the appraisal and projected amount due. If you don't agree with this, you have the right to appeal.” “The tax is not yet due, and you have a period of time to reduce it,” Stewart added.  The process can be as simple as a tax professional talking with the assessor and sharing information to disputes the value. Some appeals will need go to a board hearing. Armstrong explained, “It's high-level, and you have only 15 minutes to state your case. Then the board makes a decision, which can also be appealed.” In appealing, Stewart noted, “You want to have someone with the technical ability to present the facts, and someone with relationships with jurisdictions.” Mistakes are also made in the assessment process, and having a professional who can uncover these oversights can help with the appeals process. So, what are the top mistakes in assessments? Armstrong highlighted several: “The assessor can make a mistake of course, but I see errors in understanding the useful life of assets. Obsolescence, either functional or economic, is another area where mistakes are made. Functional describes the loss of value due to the inefficiencies of an asset. Economic refers to loss of value due to external factors.” Not looking at an assessment can mean overpaying for years. Stewart explained, “Most taxpayers don't even know they can appeal, so be aware of this as a way to save money.” With Weaver's expertise in dealing with complicated property tax issues along with a deep understanding of the property tax appeal process, the team is equipped to make sure your business is minimizing its tax liability.   Subscribe to the Weaver: Beyond the Numbers podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify for the next episode of Beyond the Numbers.

HOW DOES A LEADER MAKE THEMSELVES INDISPENSABLE? “Obsolescence is a naturally occurring eventuality. Trees rot, cars rust, animals and humans age and become frail. Sometimes capitalism drives obsolescence intentionally to create new demand and profit. I would love to hear your opinion on the attributes of a leader which delay becoming obsolete. Will AI make education obsolete? Will automation make labor obsolete? Will bioengineering make farming obsolete? Will pharmaceutical advancements make healthcare obsolete? Will knowledge make religion obsolete?” Watch the video 10-01-24: Follow on Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

USPAP and Functional Obsolescence?!  You ask, "Tim, haven't you covered this topic here on the podcast, as well as a bunch of other times, places, venues, and symposia?"  Yes I surely have.  But that was the other functional obsolescence.  Today, on this podcast, I'm going to talk about the true functional obsolescence.  Yes, the functional obsolescence the market really abhors.  And this is the functional obsolescence you will not find in some crusty, musty, dusty old house.  It is not the irrelevant functional obsolescence of aged cat urine.  It is not the functional obsolescence of a house with five bedrooms and only one bath.  No, this is a functional obsolescence factor even more insidious than any of those. In this podcast on USPAP and functional obsolescence I'm going to talk about the worst functional obsolescence of all.  And what's even more interesting is this form of functional obsolescence is totally preventable.  It is always curable, but the cure may be expensive, time-consuming, and difficult.  But it does not need to be.  So, Tim, what  in the world are we talking about here? To talk about USPAP and functional obsolescence is to talk about that obsolescence that ends up corroding your brain and your heart!  You likely just tore out your earbuds and are staring at them aghast that I should say such a thing.  But I just said it and you just heard it.  Have you ever heard an appraiser declare, "My adjustments are based on my 20-years experience in this business!"?  That appraiser just declared her functional obsolescence set in 20-years ago!  She just proudly announced, "I have not paid attention in the last nine of my 7-hour USPAP update classes!"  Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't a superficial ignorance that profound something to hide rather than openly declare?  Keep listening.  Thanks!

The recent global IT outage should be a warning to us all as to not put all our eggs in one basket. Canadian philosopher Professor Marshal McLuhan and journalist Vance Packard decades before the internet were warning us of the horrors of digital consolidation. The engineering of built in obsolescence and current theories of psychological obsolescence surly tell us that the blue screen of death is not only inevitable but also the ultimate outcome of the digital age.

In this episode, we delve into the Grand Lodge system, the backbone of Freemasonry. We'll explore the core functions a Grand Lodge is meant to fulfill: is it effectively upholding these duties during a membership decline? We'll dissect whether these traditional roles hold value and are being actively pursued. Finally, we'll ask the tough question: under what circumstances might the Grand Lodge structure itself become obsolete? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of Freemasonry!

This final section from the audiobook of Facilitation 5-MeO-DMT is one of my original contributions to the anthology. In this appendix, I discuss how, in my opinion, the reality of the nondual experience via 5-MeO-DMT renders all forms of traditional theology, speculation, doctrine, and dogma obsolete, as we all have a reliable method of encountering the full nondual nature of the self as the Unitary Being for ourselves, where no religious or doctrinal middle-man is necessary. As "The God Molecule," 5-MeO-DMT allows us the possibility to confirm for ourselves the true nature of being/God/reality/The Self, which, in my view, is pretty damn amazing. If you've missed any selections from the audiobook, you can find the full audiobook along with my 11 others at Audible, Amazon, and the Apple Bookstore. I hope you've enjoyed these chapters from the anthology, Facilitating 5-MeO-DMT! Next up between interview episodes: The Solandarian Game . . .

A very special episode! Today we are chatting with Pippi Zornoza, co-founder of the Dirt Palace, a feminist artist-run collective/residency program/space that has been a pivotal part of the artistic community in Providence for over 20 years, and this interview is part two of a three part series focused on the Dirt Palace and its two co-founders: Xander Marro and Pippi Zornoza.Pippi's art and music defy boundaries of media, genre, and context, embodying an intensity and a meticulous approach to detail, often exploring the intricate, macabre, and the obsessive.  Pippi's work spans textiles, embroidery, lace-making, knitting, sculpture, electronics, and performance — be it within an exhibition context, on stage, or, or in a dark and cavernous warehouse. Pippi's musical projects are almost too numerous to name: Throne of Blood, Sawzall, Vulture, Bonedust, RETRIX, and currently HARPY. This series was made in collaboration with Voices in Contemporary Art (VoCA), and was recorded in December 2022 in Pippi's studio. In a first for the pod, you can *watch* the interview, including clips of Pippi's work here. In our chat we delve into Pippi's origins as an artist, her early years in Providence, and how her creative practice has evolved to its current interdisciplinary state that refreshingly blurs the boundaries between contemporary art, performance, and musicStay tuned for the final episode in the series where we sit down with both artists to discuss their decades long collaboration.Links from the conversation with Pippi> Pippi's Bandcamp: https://bonedustprov.bandcamp.com/> HARPY: https://harpyprovidence.bandcamp.com/album/a-sacrifice > A SACRIFICE (music video): https://youtu.be/kpo_PRLyuYI?si=8ZkNzf8Rni3QVXP4 > https://www.dirtpalace.org> https://www.dirtpalace.org/wchbnbGet access to exclusive content - join us on Patreon!> https://patreon.com/artobsolescenceJoin the conversation:https://www.instagram.com/artobsolescence/Support artistsArt and Obsolescence is a non-profit podcast, sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts, and we are committed to equitably supporting artists that come on the show.

We often take it for granted that whatever is new is better. That isn't necessarily true. The marketplace can often seize on a product and cause a craze, only to have it disappear in a few years. Everyone looks back and wonders how we could have done that. The paradigmatic case is the waterbed popular in the 1970s and ‘80s.

On the first software project of my career, I thought doing a good job was all that mattered to move ahead. And while I was successful, I was manipulated by many other programmers through political games. After that experience, I was tempted many times in my career to fight dirty. And sometimes, I made the wrong decision. In this episode, I share the reasons why we're tempted as coders on software projects to throw ethics to the wind when the temptation for money, power, or prestige are strong. And how falling prey to that temptation may get you ahead in the short term, but it hurts you in the end. I hope you find some encouragement to take the high road when faced with political games on software development teams, and refuse to bend to other people's will who are unethical!

Episode: 2851 The Lake Breeze Fan: Unplanned Obsolescence.  Today, invention and obsolescence.

Obsolescence and supply chain resilience take center stage in this week's Fish Fry podcast! Longtime friend of the show GDCA CEO Ethan Plotkin and I chat about the challenges of obsolescence, how legacy equipment manufacturers can support national security and economic strength, and how the “Hill, Skill, Will Matrix” applies to OEM product discontinuation. Also this week, I revisit one of my favorite topics here on Fish Fry: 3D printing, except this time, I'm investigate the newest advancements with 3D printed brain tissue. 

A very special episode! Today we are chatting with Xander Marro, co-founder of the Dirt Palace, "a feminist cupcake encrusted netherworld located along the dioxin filled banks of the Woonasquatucket river, which is to say in Providence, RI USA". The Dirt Palace is a feminist artist-run collective/residency program/space that has been a pivotal part of the artistic community in Providence for over 20 years, and this interview is the first in a three part series focused on the Dirt Palace and its two co-founders: Xander Marro and Pippi Zornoza.This series was made in collaboration with Voices in Contemporary Art (VoCA), and was recorded in December 2022 in Xander's studio. In a first for the pod, you can *watch* the interview, including clips of Xander's work here: https://vimeo.com/889901548In the interview, we discuss Xander's creative origins, explorations in puppetry, animation, printmaking, film, live performance, and community arts organizing.  We don't normally share guest-written bios, but Xander's is a work of art in its own right, so we simply must: "Xander Marro has been living the good life in the feminist sub-underground for too many years to count on her long bony fingers.  She draws pictures (usually narrative), makes movies (usually not narrative), produces plays with elaborate sets and costumes (usually narrative, but confusing), and then makes stuff like posters, quilts and dioramas (probably narrative?). Her work is often about spiritual relationships to the material stuff of this world. Co-founder of the Dirt Palace in 2000 (feminist cupcake encrusted netherworld located along the dioxin filled banks of the Woonasquatucket river, which is to say in Providence, RI USA). Her studio (and heart) is there still. Xander currently serves as co-director of Dirt Palace Public Projects. She cut her teeth in community arts management serving as the Managing Director of Providence's legendary AS220. She teaches a class on poster design at RISD and serves as The Board Chair of One Neighborhood Builders, a community development/affordable housing organization."Stay tuned for our conversation with Pippi, and the final episode in the series where we sit down with both artists to discuss their decades long collaboration.

In this podcast episode, Reuben and Tessa are joined by Dr. Ben Franske to discuss various aspects of smart home technology. They cover topics such as the marketing of smart home products, the integration of AI in smart home devices, and the considerations for permanent installations. They also delve into the security concerns surrounding smart locks and the battery life of these devices. The episode concludes with a discussion on gateways and hubs in the smart home ecosystem. The conversation covers various aspects of smart home technology, including entertainment systems, smart TVs, physical media, streaming in cars, and the obsolescence of built-in technology.TakeawaysSmart home technology is evolving rapidly, with marketers using the term 'smart home' to encompass a wide range of products.When considering permanent smart home installations, it is important to evaluate the lifespan of the technology and ensure serviceability.Security concerns surrounding smart locks should be taken into account, but the risk of hacking is often outweighed by the vulnerabilities of physical locks.Battery life can be a challenge for smart locks, and it is important to choose devices that are compatible with the existing infrastructure.Gateways and hubs play a crucial role in connecting different smart home devices and protocols, providing a centralized control system. Smart home technology has greatly simplified entertainment systems, eliminating the need for complex setups and wired zones.Smart TVs and external devices both have their advantages, but it's important to consider the longevity and user experience of built-in technology.There is a resurgence of interest in physical media, such as Blu-rays and vinyl records, due to concerns about streaming service availability and ownership.Streaming media in cars can be challenging, and the most common solution is to pre-download content onto tablets or use dedicated streaming devices.Built-in technology can become obsolete quickly, so it's important to consider the long-term value and flexibility of devices and systems.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Weather01:23 Introduction of Guest03:01 Interest in Smart Home Technology04:19 Marketing of Smart Home Products05:13 Smart Electrical Panels06:25 Evolution of Smart Lighting08:16 Integration of AI in Smart Home Products09:44 Considerations for Permanent Smart Home Installations11:39 Permanent Outdoor Lighting13:47 Types of Smart Lights16:22 Serviceability of Permanent Installations21:44 Smart Locks and Security Concerns|23:33 Hacking and Security Risks26:46 Smart Lock Battery Life30:42 Smart Lock Battery Issues32:47 Gateways and Hubs38:11 Entertainment and TV Systems42:07 Smart TVs vs. External Devices44:04 Resurgence of Physical Media46:47 Streaming in Cars50:36 The Obsolescence of Built-in Technology

Right now, the collective hospitality industry has many concerns around the future of technology, especially artificial intelligence, and robotics. The major concern is that jobs will be replaced by technology, a conversation that has been going on for years.Host Rob Grimes begins the conversation by flashing back to a time when fast food restaurants were testing remote call centers taking orders at the drive through. Immediately, there were concerns about jobs being taken in the hospitality space. Eventually, this idea went away. He also jokes about a time when school officials debated letting students use calculators in tests; this technology was adopted and helped the acceleration of math skills.Rob talks about similar fears behind the future of robotics. At the end of the day, Rob argues, there's going to be a service involved in hospitality. The science behind hospitality is the information that we can learn. However, the art behind hospitality is the human touch or the ability to have empathy - something a computer or robot can never have (“Never” is a long time). Rob then talks about what he predicts will go obsolete in the future. Language, for example, or rather the need to learn another language could be replaced by translation technologies. Face-to-face interactions as well may be replaced by virtual communication. In both these cases, communication is still occurring just with the assistance of technology.If you want to hear about Rob's argument on jobs being replaced by technology in the hospitality industry and what he believes may actually go obsolete - listen to this episode of Accelerate.

In business, a major goal is mastery of your craft. And because it's so hard to do, very few do it. Which makes it a giant opportunity for you.The instant you stop rising early, putting in the practice, investing in your learning, pushing your next level of growth and doing whatever it takes to wow all witnesses (and honor your natural promise) is the day you step onto the path of irrelevance. And obsolescence. And the outright mediocrity that dangerously disrespects the best within you.Pre-order my hugely anticipated new book The Wealth Money Can't Buy and receive 5 truly extraordinary FREE bonuses [including a 3 hour live online summit with me, a complete virtual training program and 10 powerful morning meditations used by my top clients: all valued at $8,767 USD].  Here's the link so you can pre-order the book.FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookTwitterYouTube
