Send us a textRacial harassment, DEI confusion, and legal landmines—this episode dives into the HR challenges small businesses can't afford to mishandle. From a $200K court ruling against an HR team that brushed off serious complaints to how one company legally retooled its DEI program after Trump's executive order, we break down what to do (and what not to do). Join Chuck and John as they dive into these questions and more:What should HR do when an employee reports racial harassment by coworkers?"We've invested in a lot of DEI efforts over the last few years. With all this political pushback—especially the new executive order from President Trump—should we scale things back, or is it safe to continue?"Can you offer flexible remote work without sacrificing productivity or culture?Harassment, Discrimination, and Franchise Risk: What's a Small Business to Do?

In this episode, Mihir Shukla, CEO and Chairman of Automation Anywhere, shares what it takes to build an autonomous enterprise—where AI doesn't just assist work, but actually does it. With over 300 million AI agents already running on their platform, Mihir argues the future of work isn't ahead of us—it's unfolding now.We explore how Automation Anywhere is reimagining its own operations, automating everything from tax to customer service, and how other companies can do the same. Mihir shares a playbook for identifying high-impact automation opportunities and overcoming the cultural inertia that holds teams back.The conversation also zooms out: from the global productivity crisis and shrinking workforce to the ethical responsibility of upskilling at scale. Mihir shares powerful stories from communities that went from minimum wage to six-figure AI careers in just months—and reminds us what's at stake if we don't move fast.If you're rethinking how work gets done, this episode is a blueprint for what's possible.Key Takeaways:Don't Wait for the Future of Work—Build It - Mihir's team is already running 300 million AI agents across global enterprises. From automating 90% of tax operations to generating CEO-ready briefings on the fly, he shows how much of today's work can be autonomous—and how fast it's scaling.Stalled Productivity? AI Is the Only Way Through - Despite $40 trillion in global IT spend, productivity hasn't improved since 2008—and now the workforce is shrinking. Mihir argues that doubling productivity isn't a moonshot—it's an economic necessity, and AI is our best shot.Change Doesn't Come from the Top—It Starts with Teams - Transformation doesn't begin in the boardroom. Mihir shares how just 2 out of 10 employees experimenting with AI can ignite org-wide momentum—if they're given ambitious goals, proper training, and permission to lead.Upskill the World, One Community at a Time - From the Mississippi Delta to Nepal, Mihir's upskilling efforts prove that AI fluency doesn't require a degree—just access. With the right training, someone flipping burgers can land a $120K AI job in three months. Talent is everywhere.

Today's episode features a crossover from ABA's brand new podcast series: ABA Fraudcast: Cyber and Fraud with Paul Benda. Community banks can be targets of large-scale fraud, just like larger banks. On the inaugural episode of the ABA Fraudcast, former ABA Chair Dan Robb, president and CEO of Jonesburg State Bank in Missouri, describes the recent targeting of his bank by fraudsters who texted thousands of residents of his community, seeking access to customer accounts. What followed for Robb and his team were fast lessons on all the areas his bank was prepared for, and a few challenges that were surprising. “We are no longer dealing with a mom-and-pop criminal,” says ABA's Paul Benda, Fraudcast host. “This is institutional crime.” To find the ABA Fraudcast, visit aba.com/fraudcast or look for it in your favorite podcast app.
