In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Stephen Caines, Chief Innovation Officer and Budget Director at the City of San Jose, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is reshaping city government, public services, and the workforce at one of America's most technologically ambitious cities.Stephen shares his unconventional path from pre-med at Case Western to digital privacy law at the University of Miami, a Stanford fellowship researching surveillance AI ethics, and ultimately landing at San Jose's Mayor's Office where he now leads both innovation strategy and the city's budget. From there, the conversation dives into how San Jose is positioning itself as the AI-first city in the nation, leveraging proximity to Adobe, Cisco, Zoom, Nvidia, Apple, and Google to advance meaningful community-level change.The discussion explores the city's AI for All initiative, a public-private partnership with Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI to provide free AI education to residents and city employees alike. Stephen walks through the city's dual-track upskilling program, its approach to employee training that is purposely non-mandatory, and how San Jose is balancing top-down innovation mandates with bottom-up experimentation.Boaz and Stephen also dig into real-world deployments: object detection cameras on fleet vehicles that proactively identify potholes and road hazards before residents report them, AI translation tools expanding Spanish and Vietnamese participation in city council meetings, and the 311 customer service redesign aimed at reducing resident burden while improving satisfaction. Stephen is candid about the ROI question, how to distinguish pilots worth operationalizing from ones that generate noise without value and the long-term financial risks of AI infrastructure built on VC-subsidized pricing.The episode closes with a discussion of the GovAI Coalition, a San Jose-founded network now spanning over 900 public agencies, and Stephen's two-word vision for the future of work: chronic adaptability.Chapters[00:00] From Pre-Med to Chief Innovation Officer: Stephen's Career Journey[04:12] San Jose as the AI-First City: Population, Geography, and the Lean City Challenge[07:49] Proximity as Advantage: Partnering with Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and Nvidia[08:23] AI for All: Free Community Education and In-Person Training Sessions[11:10] Upskilling City Employees: Voluntary Training, Two Tracks, and Retention Strategy[14:38] Balancing Top-Down and Bottom-Up Innovation[16:14] The 311 Network and Customer Service Vision: A 360-Degree View of the Resident[17:13] Object Detection on Fleet Vehicles: Proactive Pothole and Road Hazard Detection[19:34] Surprising Community Feedback and the Case for Keeping Humans at the Front Door[22:04] ROI in Government: How to Evaluate Pilots and Decide What Gets Operationalized[24:24] The Hidden Costs of AI: Staffing Realignment, Drone Programs, and VC Subsidies[26:14] Building Infrastructure You Own: The Road Safety Images Database[27:24] The GovAI Coalition: 900 Public Agencies, Shared Contracts, and Peer Learning[32:04] The Future of Work in Cities: Chronic Adaptability and the Individual JourneyConnect with Stephen CainesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-caines/City of San Jose Innovation Hub: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/information-technology/city-innovation/it-innovation-hubConnect with the GovAI CoalitionWebsite: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/information-technology/ai-reviews-algorithm-register/govai-coalitionConnect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm
Compliance adviseert: Ervaringen van experts uit de financiële wereld
Hoe vind je de juiste balans tussen privacy, innovatie en maatschappelijke belangen?In deze aflevering van de Leaders in Finance Compliance Podcast spreekt Jeroen Broekema met Marta Borrat Frigola, Senior Legal Counsel bij ABN AMRO, voorzitter van de Privacywerkgroep van de Nederlandse Vereniging van Banken (NVB) en Chair van de Expert Group on Privacy and Data Protection van de European Banking Federation (EBF).Hoe heeft privacy zich ontwikkeld van een nicheonderwerp tot een strategisch thema voor banken, toezichthouders en klanten? Waarom draait privacy volgens Marta uiteindelijk altijd om balanceren? En hoe verhouden privacyregels zich tot onderwerpen als witwasbestrijding, fraudepreventie en gegevensdeling binnen de financiële sector? Ook gaat het over de rol van privacy binnen nieuwe Europese wetgeving, de uitdagingen rondom het gebruik van klantgegevens en de impact van technologische ontwikkelingen zoals AI.---> Volg de Leaders in Finance Compliance Podcast via de Website en LinkedIn.---> De Leaders in Finance Compliance Podcast wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Cense, Deloitte, Rabobank, en Osborne Clarke.---> Ben je een compliance officer of senior (AML) professional die in zijn/haar werk te heeft met privacyvraagstukken en vind je interessant om onder begeleiding van een expert te leren van vakgenoten met vergelijkbare vraagstukken?

Sales kickoffs can become expensive calendar events if leaders are not clear on what the gathering is meant to accomplish. In this Revenue Builders replay, John McMahon shares his perspective on how CEOs and CROs should think about SKOs, from motivating the sales force and aligning teams around company goals to delivering training that actually prepares reps to execute. He also explains why peer-to-peer knowledge transfer is often the hidden value of bringing the sales organization together, why product presentations should only happen when the value proposition is clear, and how leaders can motivate reps by speaking directly to their daily challenges, career aspirations, and earning potential. John McMahon is a five-time CRO who has led revenue organizations at PTC, GeoTel, Ariba, BladeLogic, and BMC. He is the author of The Qualified Sales Leader and co-host of Revenue Builders, where he brings operator-level perspective on building and scaling enterprise sales teams.

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this episode, Dr. Allen Lomax sits down with Tad Fallows to explore the psychological and structural pressures faced by high-performing, affluent professionals. Tad shares insights from his journey of bootstrapping and selling a software company, which led him to found Long Angle—a peer-to-peer learning community of over 7,500 high-net-worth individuals. They discuss why traditional financial advice often breeds anxiety, how to shift from optimizing for more to optimizing for alignment, and how to use wealth as a tool for true personal freedom. Achieving a high net worth does not automatically dissolve stress or resolve personal problems. Traditional wealth management is often plagued by misaligned incentives, where advisors are motivated by commissions and asset management fees rather than the client's best interests. True clarity and freedom come from peer-to-peer learning, understanding the baseline mechanics of your own wealth, and intentionally shifting focus from status-driven accumulation to buying back time and aligning capital with personal values. Main Points: 1. The Origins of Long AngleThe Post-Exit Gap: After selling his software company, Tad faced complex financial decisions (estate taxes, private markets, umbrella insurance) but found most advice came from institutional firms with products to sell.The Peer-To-Peer Solution: Long Angle was built to provide a fee-free, trusted space for first-generation wealth creators to share unconflicted advice without sales pitches.2. Why High-Net-Worth Individuals Still Feel Financial PressureHabitual Risk Aversion: The very traits that help people build wealth—calculating risk and hyper-optimizing—can cause lingering anxiety about running out of money, even with a $25M or $100M net worth.Money Doesn't Solve Personal Problems: Money can easily solve minor operational friction (like hiring a gardener), but it cannot fix health, fitness, or strained family relationships.3. The Unique Dilemmas of First-Generation WealthThe "Resource vs. Liability" Parenting Dilemma: Wealthy parents face intense pressure regarding how to provide elite opportunities for their children without spoiling them or stripping away their drive to succeed on their own terms.The Purpose Vacuum: When a professional hits financial independence early (e.g., age 40) and removes the excuse of "working for money," they face the heavier existential pressure of deciding how to spend their time meaningfully.4. Flaws in the Traditional Wealth Management ModelMisaligned Incentives: It is difficult to get objective advice from a commission-based insurance broker or an AUM-based wealth manager who might lose income if you choose to liquidate assets to buy a house.Peer Learning vs. Paid Advice: Sourcing insights from peers who have no financial stake in your decisions reduces the mental burden of second-guessing an advisor's true motivations.5. Shifts in Capital and Time AllocationLow Interest in Status Spending: First-generation wealth creators in the community tend to show very little interest in traditional status symbols like Ferraris, Rolexes, or designer clothes.Redefining Risk: Unlike inherited wealth holders who focus on minimizing volatility, self-made wealth creators generally have a higher risk tolerance, choosing to optimize for long-term expected returns over a multi-year horizon.Buying Back Time: Capital is increasingly deployed to outsource low-value, energy-draining tasks (e.g., hiring house managers or virtual assistants) while preserving time for high emotional-value activities, like parenting or community impact.6. Actionable Advice for Wealth OwnersDon't Fully Outsource Trust: Much like managing a home renovation, you don't need to know every technical nuance, but you must understand the foundational basics (asset classes, taxes, fees, and correlations) to be an educated client.Connect with Tad Fallows: www.longangle.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/fallows/https://www.facebook.com/longanglehnw/https://www.instagram.com/longanglehnw/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF9q0mD1Iv440sJHbwaq2TAPrivate Masterclass (Beyond the Paycheck): www.go.steetalker.com/beyond-paycheck
What happens when a fintech leader decides that serving the association community means doing far more than processing payments? And in an environment where associations are under pressure to deliver more value with limited resources, how can they create learning and connections that truly help members thrive?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Wade Tetsuka, President of U.S. Transactions Corporation (UST) and UST Education. Wade discusses:How UST helps associations accept credit card and ACH payments through AMS, LMS, and event platforms, while also helping reduce fees and improve service.Why payment processing becomes an especially important decision point when associations are changing AMS platforms.How UST Education began as simple peer-to-peer lunch roundtables for association IT directors and grew into a major educational platform.How the pandemic accelerated UST Education's virtual programming and enabled it to serve association professionals across the country.Why Wade believes companies should connect with the communities they serve in a more meaningful way, and how education became that “sweet spot” for him.Why education is the common thread across Wade's work, board service, and leadership philosophy, and why he sees it as “the great equalizer in society.”What the AANHPI association community means to Wade, and why representation and visibility matter for future Asian American leaders.References:UST Website
In der Podcast-Folge #157 von Klartext HR spricht Stefan Scheller mit Sophie Hartmann zum Thema „Quereinstieg contra Fachkräftemangel“. Das Thema Quereinstieg beschäftigt nicht nur viele Arbeitnehmende, die über eine berufliche Veränderung nachdenken. Auch Personalverantwortliche in Unternehmen beschäftigen sich zunehmend damit, berufsfremde Personen in die Organisation zu holen und entsprechend auszubilden. Nicht nur der Fachkräftemangel macht das Konzept attraktiv. Doch es gibt auch Schattenseiten, die bei vielen Entscheidungen von HR sogar im Vordergrund stehen. Zeit, sich mit dem Thema intensiver auseinanderzusetzen. Mit Sophie diskutiere ich unter anderem darüber, * was genau „Quereinstieg“ bedeutet * welche Chancen durch Quereinsteigende im Unternehmen entstehen * wie Personalverantwortlich in Quereinstiege investieren sollten * ob nun endlich die Blütezeit von „hire for attitude, train for skills“ gekommen ist * welche Rolle HR dabei zukommt * welche Tipps sie für HR-Verantwortliche in Punkto Quereinstieg hat. Ein spannender Talk als 15-Minuten-Impuls. Klartext HR - Informieren. Inspirieren. Lernen. Viel Spaß damit!

In diesem Podcast-Interview erläutert die Beraterin Martina Hölscher, wie Liberating Structures effektiv für Peer-Learning und die Gestaltung moderner Lernkulturen eingesetzt werden können. Sie definiert Peer-Learning als Lernen auf Augenhöhe, bei dem Gruppen Wissen ohne externe Expertenanleitung durch den gezielten Einsatz strukturierter Methoden gemeinsam erschließen. Hölscher beschreibt praktische Anwendungen wie das Spiral Journal zur Reflexion oder Shift and Share für den Wissensaustausch in größeren Teams. Besonders betont sie, dass diese Methoden die Beziehungsebene stärken und den Transfer von Theorie in die Praxis erleichtern. Zudem warnt sie davor, sich bei der Workshop-Konzeption blind auf KI-Tools zu verlassen, da diese die feinen Nuancen der Liberating Structures oft falsch interpretieren. Abschließend ermutigt sie dazu, diese Formate als hilfreichen Leitfaden für selbstorganisierte Lernprozesse in Unternehmen und Schulen einfach auszuprobieren.
In this episode, we take a hard look at what real peer connection actually requires and why it's so difficult to sustain. We're joined by Jackson Boyar, co-founder and CEO of RallyBoard, to explore a model that prioritizes intentional peer groups, shared responsibility, and human interaction over algorithm-driven noise. Together, we unpack what meaningful connection really looks like, how technology can help scale our efforts, and how leaders and participants should rethink engagement, value, and return on time.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson talks with economic development veteran and consultant Marty Vanags about Circles of Seven, a peer-based mentoring program designed to strengthen post-startup small businesses who often fall through the cracks of traditional support systems. Marty explains how C7 groups work, why small businesses learn best from each other, and how these circles create long-lasting bonds that improve BRE, build confidence, and ultimately make communities more attractive to prospects. He also touches on Next Wave Leadership, the importance of in-person connection, and why economic developers should spend more time nurturing the businesses they already have. Like this show? Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! 10 Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Target the "liminal stage" -- businesses past the startup phase but not yet established need the most support and often have the fewest resources. Build peer-to-peer programs, not just classes -- small businesses learn better from each other than from lectures. Recruit strong facilitators, not "experts" -- a good mentor is a steady guide, not a guru. Create predictable monthly prompts (articles, videos, questions) to spark meaningful discussion. Require at least 30 minutes on the main topic so participants get what they came for. Train facilitators in group dynamics, not business theory -- their job is to manage conversation, not teach. Use C7-style programs as BRE tools -- they put you in front of businesses you rarely interact with. Remember cash flow and time are always the biggest pain points for small businesses. Encourage in-person interaction -- especially post-COVID, live meetings build deeper relationships and accountability. Measure success by longevity -- if your groups keep meeting years later, your ecosystem is working. Special Guest: Martin Vanags.

Herzlich willkommen zum Praxispodcast zu Liberating Structures! In dieser Folge spricht Christian erneut mit Martina Hölscher, einer selbständigen Beraterin, deren Kernthema die Unterstützung von Organisationen bei der Neuentwicklung von Lernkulturen (Learning and Development) ist. Martina Hölscher arbeitet schwerpunktmäßig an Formaten wie selbstorganisiertem Lernen, Peer Learning, kollaborativem Lernen und sozialem Lernen. Ein neuer Fokus: Liberating Structures an Schulen Martina Hölscher stellt in dieser Episode ihr neues Tätigkeitsfeld vor: die Begleitung von Schulentwicklungsprozessen in Kooperation mit der gemeinnützigen Organisation "bewirken". Sie unterstützt hauptsächlich weiterführende Schulen und Oberschulen (inkl. Hauptschule, Realschule und gymnasialem Zweig) bei Transformationen und der Einführung neuer Lernkonzepte. Die Herausforderung: Glaubenssätze, Ressourcen und Ergebnisse Das Gespräch beleuchtet, wie Liberating Structures (LS) genutzt werden können, um die besonderen Herausforderungen im Schulkontext zu meistern, insbesondere den Umgang mit Ressourcenengpässen und starken Glaubenssätzen ("Das geht bei uns nicht, weil..."). Ein wichtiger Fokus liegt darauf, wie man in Workshops konkrete und handlungsrelevante Ergebnisse erzielt, da die Zeit der Lehrkräfte sehr begrenzt ist.

Topics & Themes:Inside the DelCor Bootcamp at AMS FestA vendor-free, candid environment where association professionals can ask real questions and get honest feedback.Bootcamp helps attendees feel more confident and prepared before engaging with vendors.Ecosystem and Context DiagramsAttendees were asked to draw their current tech ecosystem to visualize integrations and ownership.The process of creating the diagram was more valuable than the final product.Writing Better RequirementsParticipants practiced writing user story-based requirements, often for the first time.Emphasis on considering multiple perspectives: membership, finance, and member services.Understanding the Role of the Business AnalystAssociations don't need to turn staff into BAs, but must understand the BA role.Clear requirements are essential for selection, configuration, and adoption.Most AMS issues stem from poor adoption, not poor functionality.Balancing Ecosystems vs. All-in-One PlatformsDiscussion around whether to consolidate or diversify systems.Risks of over-reliance on a single platform vs. complexity of multiple systems.Private Equity and Vendor TrustMergers and acquisitions are eroding trust in vendors and direct access to decision-makers is more difficult.Associations must take ownership of training, documentation, and vendor relationships.Change Management and Adoption FearsSome staff fear change and struggle with system transitions.Bootcamp helps surface these concerns early in the process.Peer Learning and Community SupportAMS Fest's value lies in shared experiences and peer advice.One piece of advice from a peer can shift an entire selection strategy.Final Question: What's Got You Worked Up?Gretchen: Frustrated by the lack of payoff from private equity investment in platforms.Niko: Wants more associations to engage in the conversation and learn from peers.
Most agencies are burning out their team to protect their bottom line.More remarketing. More manual quoting. More inefficiencies.All while margins get tighter — and expectations get higher.This week on Getting Past the Premium, Elliot sits down with Chris Peabody from Ascend to unpack what the most forward-thinking agencies are doing differently:✅ Automating the right processes✅ Embedding AI in invisible, high-impact ways✅ Standardizing workflows without losing trust✅ And actually measuring ROI before adopting new toolsThis episode isn't about “using AI” — it's about building a more scalable, sustainable firm in today's reality.

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette interviews Kyle Van Deusen, who runs a small web agency in Richmond, Virginia, and founded "The Admin Bar," a community for freelancers and agency owners. They discuss the 2025 WordPress Professional Survey, which Kyle conducted to gather insights from web professionals. The survey, which received 1,233 responses, highlights the experiences and challenges faced by freelancers and agency owners.Top TakeawaysMany Agency Owners Lack Business Fundamentals: A lot of agency owners start by accident, not with a business plan. As a result, many undercharge and lack confidence in setting prices. Kyle pointed out that few are reaching their income goals—not due to market limits, but because they don't know what's possible. This shows a big need for basic business education around pricing, value, and financial planning.Marketing and Networking Are Largely Overlooked: Nearly 60% of respondents aren't doing in-person networking, and many aren't investing in marketing. Too many rely on being found organically, which isn't enough anymore. Kyle and Michelle highlighted that growth requires showing up, building relationships, and actively promoting your services.Community Helps Build Confidence and Clarity: Talking with peers can shift your mindset and pricing strategy. Kyle shared how learning what others charged helped him raise his rates confidently. Community support helps agency owners avoid mistakes, learn faster, and feel less alone in their journey.The Survey Is a Valuable, Underused Resource: Kyle stressed that the real power of the survey lies in how people use it. By digging into the data, agency owners can find paths others have taken to success. The more participation it gets, the more valuable and representative it becomes for the whole community.Mentioned in the Show:https://theadminbar.com/2025-survey/https://theadminbar.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/2147806538801573

In 2009 Netflix caused a huge stir in the HR and tech worlds with their 125 page slide deck that set out a new way of leading people. Whilst many companies have now adopted their concepts such as ‘freedom with accountability', the rejection of the idea that businesses are a family, and the so-called Keeper Test, Netflix were the first major corporation to introduce them. In this episode, Kenny Temowo, a senior member of the Leadership Culture & Talent Development team at Netflix, describes the on-going impact of these pioneering principles. Kenny describes the role of creativity within organizational culture and the importance of an environment that encourages risk-taking and playfulness. We look at how to combine alignment with company-wide approaches with meeting the needs of local teams. And we explore Netflix's distinctive leadership seminars, which foster leadership excellence through engaging stories, poetry, and articles. This approach encourages leaders to navigate real-world challenges without traditional learning objectives, creating an immersive experience that empowers leaders to find solutions collectively.

In this episode, Bob Bennett, a seasoned entrepreneur, Founder and former CEO of Microfridge, Invoice Cloud, and EngageSmart, delves into the crucial role of luck in success and life. He shares insights on dispelling the myth that only extroverted individuals can excel in sales, emphasizing the power of building rapport. Bob articulates strategies for effective sales management, including the importance of embracing awkwardness and fostering trust. He discusses his leadership philosophy centered around an inverted pyramid, where leaders work for their team. Lastly, Bob provides actionable advice for new sales leaders, highlighting the significance of being a 'player-coach' and the importance of compounding experiences. Takeaways: Luck and Adversity as Motivators: Embrace the role of luck and adversity in shaping one's career. Leaders should recognize that seemingly negative experiences can fuel motivation and resilience, driving individuals toward success.The Myth of Extroversion in Sales Success: Understand that successful salespeople do not necessarily fit the extroverted, gregarious stereotype. Introverts can excel in sales by leveraging their strengths, such as listening and focus, which often lead to high performance.Building Genuine Rapport: Encourage your team to build genuine rapport with clients. Invest time in understanding prospects on a personal level, as trust is a cornerstone of successful sales. Teach your team to get 'awkward' early to break down barriers and build authentic connections.4Compound Experience for Success: Promote the importance of putting in extra effort consistently. Small incremental efforts compound over time, resulting in significant experience and expertise, much like compound interest.
