Nick Holzherr is originally from the Switzerland, but moved to UK when he was 7 years old, to the countryside. He had no real touch to computers until he was 18, when he attended university and everything picked up for him, tech wise. Eventually, he got into building businesses, and of those, he founded a coffee company, HR software company, and whisk.com, which was sold to Samsung in 2019. Outside of tech, he is the father to two young children. He enjoys skiing and snowboarding, and jokingly, he admits that running around ensuring his agents are prompted gets in the way of his family and hobby life. Through his entrepreneurial adventures, Nick spent large sums of money on legal contracts, ensuring that the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed. While he still feels that lawyers are very important and needed for certain scenarios, Nick wanted to create a way to level the playing field for small businesses, in the legal arena. This is the creation story of GitLaw. Linkshttps://git.law/https://nickholzherr.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickholzherr/ Current Sponsors: Tiger Data Protected Harbor Render Fitnexa Perplexity Entelligence Checkout our Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.

Today, we have a special return episode from our friends at Backbox, who we heard the creation story of the company back in Season 8. In this episode, we talk with Rekha Shenoy, CEO of Backbox. Since Rekha took the helm as CEO in May 2024, the company has expanded beyond traditional security automation to launch its major BackBox 8.0 platform, unifying cloud and on-prem infrastructure visibility. They've also integrated human-in-the-loop, advisor-focused AI capabilities - and are back to let us know some even more "big things" happening with platform, around agentic . Questions: Tell me about yourself—your path into tech and what shapes how you lead (background, influences, hobbies, family).Tell me about BackBox. What does the company do, and what drew you in to take the CEO seat in 2024?How has the product matured? How do you build your roadmap?Zoom out — what are you most proud of in shaping BackBox?What does the future look like for your product and team?BackBox describes AI as a "trusted advisor, not an autonomous agent" — four principles: protecting infrastructure, repeatable/verifiable results, supporting (not replacing) engineers, and transparency about how AI reaches conclusions. Where did that philosophy come from, and why hold that line while competitors race toward full autonomy?What does "responsible AI" actually look like in the product — not as a value statement, but as a design constraint that shaped the engineering decision?Tell us about your recent launch and what it enables a network team to do that they couldn't before?How does the launch extend or test that responsible-AI philosophy?At what point does "AI as advisor" start to feel like a limitation rather than a safeguard?Linkshttps://backbox.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rekha-shenoy-950b23/https://www.codestory.co/episodes/s8-bonus-bypassing-brittle-custom-scripts-implementing-automated-multi-tenant-configuration-backups-and-vulnerability-patching-at-scale-with-andrew-kahl-of-backbox/ Current Sponsors: Tiger Data Protected Harbor Render Fitnexa Perplexity Entelligence Checkout our Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.

Today, we journey to the center of the ancient Greek world to uncover the secrets, power, and mystical rituals of the Oracle of Delphi. From the sacred grounds at the foot of Mount Parnassus and the mythic origins of Apollo's shrine, to the mysterious Pythia and the intoxicating vapors said to induce divine visions, we explore how one sanctuary shaped the fate of empires and guided history's greatest rulers. We also dive into the high-stakes politics of who truly controlled Delphi, the legendary prophecies that tested King Croesus and foresaw the defense of Athens, the famous words spoken of Socrates, and the eventual decline of the ancient world's most revered oracle.

Connor Heggie grew up in Southern California, digging into technical things early on his life. He played with legos, was influence by Iron Man, and painted pictures on the back of schematics his Dad brought him from Boeing. He went to school at Rice in Texas, feeling a sense of agency and confidence from the program he was in. Eventually, he went to work for startups across computer vision, self driving cars, and AI. Outside of tech, he has a large black Labrador named Captain. He enjoys hiking, being outside, and playing fetch with Captain until he drops in exhaustion. Post ChatGPT, Connor was working on a side project, creating listicles around products. As he built it, he fell in love with the space of mining information from unstructured data. Once he met up with his co-founder, they started to recognize they could build multi-agent systems that could re-think how Go-To-Market teams operate. This is the creation story of Unify. Linkshttps://www.unifygtm.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/connor-heggie/ Current Sponsors: Tiger Data Protected Harbor Render Fitnexa Perplexity Entelligence Checkout our Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.

AI Search Visibility: Why Brands Now Compete to Be Recalled, Not Ranked How AI Search Is Rewriting the Rules of Brand Discovery For thirty years, brand visibility meant ranking on a results page. That's over. Today, the AI search a customer runs on ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini decides whether your brand gets mentioned at all — and there's no page two, no scroll, no second chance inside that answer. In this episode, Joanne Z. Tan breaks down why AI search behaves nothing like traditional search, why SEO alone can't win an AI search citation, and what actually earns a brand a place inside an AI search result: third-party validation, consistency across the web, and being recognized as an authority rather than just indexed as a page. Drawing on Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, and Deloitte research, Joanne lays out why AI search visibility is now a strategic asset — and why the brands that treat it that way now will own the next decade of brand discovery.

Today we're talking about one of the biggest questions in Christianity: What actually happens in Hell? The fire, demons and endless torture most people picture are only one interpretation. We're breaking down the major Christian views of Hell — from eternal conscious torment and C.S. Lewis' idea of a door “locked from the inside,” to annihilationism, universalism, and the belief that Heaven and Hell could actually be two different experiences of the same presence of God. How can Christians read the same Bible and come to completely different conclusions about what happens after death? WELCOME TO RELIGION CAMP!

Can you run a half-million-dollar accounting practice completely solo without burning out? Most accounting firm owners and CPAs starting firms assume that scaling past $200k or $300k requires hiring a team of employees. But adding headcount often leads to higher overhead, management headaches, and less personal freedom. In this episode of Growing Your Firm, host David Cristello sits down with Angel Zhen, CPA—founder of Angel Zhen CPA and winner of the 2025 Digital CPA Innovative Practitioner Award. Angel shares how he built a single-person practice generating over $500,000 annually while taking 12 weeks of vacation every single year! Whether you're a bookkeeping firm owner, an operations manager, or a firm manager responsible for workflow, this episode offers a masterclass in pricing, positioning, tech selection, and firm design. In this episode, we explore: The Solo Firm Operating Model: How Angel scales past $500k without employees or managing a full-time staff. 12 Weeks of Sabbatical: How Angel designs his firm schedule around long-term travel (including 6-week trips to Asia) without dropping the ball for clients. The "Trusted Advisor" Positioning: Why building a strong online brand and website presence allows you to charge premium prices instead of competing on cost. Value-Based Tax Pricing: Shifting away from hourly billing and "tax prep" to position yourself as an essential tax planner and advisor. The Power of "Doing Less": Why focusing on client outcomes rather than information overload builds stronger client trust. Angel's Practical AI & Tech Stack: How he leverages TaxDome alongside LLMs like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Blue J for research and workflow efficiency. Key Metrics & Firm Benchmarks: Firm Structure: 1-person firm with a lean, flexible contractor model. Revenue Benchmark: $500,000+ gross revenue. Client Count: ~300 nationwide clients managed through hyper-efficient software systems. Time Off: 12 weeks of vacation per year. Featured Guest: Angel Zhen  

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog explore the real frameworks, mindsets, and proven strategies for growing a profitable, scalable coaching business. They dive into building momentum, mastering the psychology of "the comfortable yes" in sales, practical pricing models, modern AI tools for coaches, and the high-performance habits needed to truly 20x a coaching client's results. The show balances tactical, high-leverage business moves with practical mindset shifts and ends on Karl's signature "Moment of Zen"—delivering both the how-to and the heart behind elite business coaching. Key Topics Covered Momentum and Action vs. Procrastination The conversation focused on the critical difference between planning and doing, emphasizing that "the magic is in the planning, not in the plan." Momentum was framed as a force multiplier: stop hiding behind preparation and step aggressively into action. Several points were raised, including the difference between positive and negative flywheels, and how small actions taken consistently lead to compounded business results 03:01. Framework for Ending Sales with a Comfortable Yes One concept discussed was how to structure sales conversations so prospects ask to work with you—rather than feeling pressured. This included the "money at a discount" metaphor, utilizing profit acceleration offers, and stacking value so that perceived reward crushes perceived risk 07:40. Bombs, Belief, and Building Rapport The discussion explored the importance of dropping "bombs"—unique, powerful insights or analogies that make prospects say "wow, I've never heard it like that before." Robust rapport-building steps were shared: compliment, relate, and say no to something—a triad to build authority and connection quickly 17:02. Price vs. Value A key theme that emerged was how scarcity-minded people focus solely on "expensive," while savvy buyers and business builders learn to distinguish between price and real value. Assets, discounts, and context (location, rarity) were explored in detail, illustrating why wealthy people look for value over sticker shock 21:01. AI Tools for Modern Coaches There was a rundown of high-utility AI platforms for coaches: Claude for mindset support, Virality AI, ElevenLabs for voice/music, Notion AI for productivity, Gamma for slides, Syllabi for videos, and Perplexity for research. The key was to pick a few and master their use versus platform-hopping 30:59. How to 20x a Client's Business: Rules and Mindsets The conversation offered a tactical rundown for helping clients achieve massive growth: Use mental models for decision-making (what's the upside, downside, can I live with the downside?) Ruthless focus on the highest-leverage 20% of activity Relentlessly cultivating intensity, accountability, ownership, and massive action 34:08. Never work to be the "best," but become the "only" in the market. Karl Bryan's Moment of Zen The episode closed with reflections on gratitude, defining success as a feeling rather than a status, striving for greatness in life and business, and remembering that behind every success are struggles most never see. Notable Quotes "Momentum is a force multiplier… the greatest teacher is doing. Stop planning, start doing." 03:01 "Make them feel safe at all costs. Frame your coaching as a test drive over 90 days." 15:37 "The person with the highest level of belief in what they're doing will influence the other." 16:45 "Price is what you pay, value is what you get." 25:04 "If you know what day it is, you're not working hard enough. Manufacture the intensity of game 3." 39:09 "You don't want to be successful—you want to feel successful. Don't create a to-do list, create a done list." 50:12 Actionable Takeaways Prioritize Action Over Perfection Stop hiding behind research and planning—launch, test, and iterate in the real world. Drop Bombs in Sales Build a repertoire of original insights or analogies that create "aha" moments in conversations. Move Clients from Price to Value Thinking Frame coaching services as high-ROI investments, not cost centers. Use tangible profit acceleration models. Master a Few AI Tools Select and go deep with key productivity platforms, both for internal efficiency and client-facing value. Cultivate Relentless Intensity Treat daily outreach and relationship-building like a playoff game: true discipline and consistency win. Own Every Result Assume total responsibility; teach clients to do the same. The top performers never blame circumstances. Systematize Rapport Quickly Compliment sincerely, find real points of connection, and set boundaries by clearly stating who you do (and don't) work with. Set Monster Goals, Ruthlessly Edit Your Activity Identify and strip away 80% of low-value activity. Focus only on what leads you (and your clients) toward the next giant milestone. Build for Identity, Not Just Utility Premium buyers want to work with people who embody the results and character they aspire to—speak to that identity.

For decades, businesses invested heavily in search engine optimization (SEO) to improve their Google rankings. But AI search is fundamentally changing how people discover companies, experts, products, and services. Today, millions of users begin their research by asking ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and other AI platforms for recommendations and answers. As a result, a brand that ranks well on Google may still remain invisible if AI does not recognize it as an authoritative and trustworthy source. In this episode, Joanne Z. Tan explains why AI search is reshaping brand discovery, how AI evaluates digital authority, and why organizations, executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders must rethink their content and brand strategy to remain visible in the AI era. "In the age of AI search, your brand is no longer competing only for search rankings. It is competing to become part of AI's answers," says Joanne Z. Tan. - Read the full article - Watch the 14-minute video Subscribe to our free Newsletter: https://10plusbrand.com/newsletter-subscription/ In this episode, you'll discover: • Why AI search is transforming how customers discover brands and make purchasing decisions • Why traditional SEO alone is no longer sufficient for long-term brand visibility • Why many companies with strong Google rankings still fail to appear in AI-generated answers • The relationship among brand content, user-generated content, AI search, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and brand strategy • Why thought leadership, trusted content, and content authority have become strategic business assets • How AI systems evaluate credibility, expertise, and relevance when recommending brands • Practical strategies for increasing brand visibility across ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and future AI platforms • Why organizations should begin preparing today for an AI-first search ecosystem As AI increasingly becomes the link between businesses and their customers, AI search is redefining how trust is earned and how brands are discovered.

Christian Ondaatje is originally from Los Angelas, CA. He got into GPUs as an underclassmen in college, of course through gaming and VR. He ended up starting an eGPU company in his CS program @ Harvard, though it was shut down through some cease and desist from Apple. Though he learned some hard startup lessons, his love for GPUs was only fueled more. Outside of tech, he does a lot of SIM racing. In fact, he has built his own Linus VR racing simulator rig over a couple of years He finds that the formal, online competition is very fun to participate in. As I mentioned, Christian was way into GPUs throughout many different experiences in his life. He and his team recognized that while demand door AI inference and compute was at an all-time high, setting up bare-metal GPU infra was still complex and slow... so they set out to change it. This is the creation story of Aranya.Linkshttps://aranya.tech/https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianondaatje/ Current Sponsors: Tiger Data Protected Harbor Render Fitnexa Perplexity Entelligence Checkout our Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.

For many experts, the real challenge isn't learning more or doing more, it's being clearly seen, understood, and trusted by the right people. Today's guest, Christine Blosdale, the Expert Authority Coach behind ExpertAuthorityCoach.com, helps entrepreneurs transform their unique energy and authenticity into a powerful “bat signal” that attracts ideal clients and converts attention into revenue. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Christine shows how to use AI as an amplifier of your true voice, not as a shortcut to sounding generic. She explains how she's trained her customized ChatGPT (lovingly named “Charlie”) to mirror her natural communication style so well that it can generate on-brand offers, messaging, and marketing assets for both her and her clients. You'll hear how giving AI clear direction, thoughtful prompts, and consistent feedback leads to far better results than treating it like a disposable vending machine for content. From there, Christine dives into the foundations of effective personal branding, starting with the business platform most people ignore: their website or landing page. Before ramping up podcasts, books, and social media content, she makes the case for building a clear, conversion-focused home base that immediately explains who you are, who you serve, and what transformation you provide. She walks through how a short welcome video above the fold, a focused call to action to book a complimentary consultation, concise “About” copy, and a small, well-structured set of offers can dramatically improve how visitors perceive and engage with your brand.  Christine also unpacks the role of social proof and visibility in the age of AI. Instead of relying solely on traditional SEO, she introduces the concept of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and explains why FAQs, testimonials, and review pages matter more than ever. By turning real client questions into clear Q&A content, and by publishing authentic written and video testimonials, you make it easier for AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to identify you as a credible solution and surface your brand in response to user queries. An important theme throughout the conversation is trustability. Christine emphasizes that sales become easier when trust is built first and that skipping this step is where many service providers go wrong. She describes how her complimentary consultations allow potential clients to experience her style and expertise without risk, while also giving her the chance to screen out persistently negative or uncoachable prospects. This approach helps her protect her own energy, serve the right people, and create long-term client relationships that feel mutually beneficial rather than forced. https://youtu.be/ymZsrtKTGCs?si=9L3OYYecI7yGR66N If you're ready to stop blending in, harness AI in a more personal and powerful way, and build an online presence that clearly signals who you are and why you're worth hiring, this episode offers a roadmap. From sharpening your website and offers to increasing your visibility in both search engines and AI platforms, Christine's strategies will help you become the trusted, in-demand authority you're meant to be. Quotes: "Your personal branding, your business, your offers, your communication style, that's all energy. You have to think about what kind of bat signal you're putting out there."  "With technology, the more you work with your AI, the more it gets to know your style, and it gets to replicate your messaging and your communication."  "You need to develop trust before you can develop sales. So many people are so concerned about making the money that they skip over the trustability factor."  Contact Details: Ready to Get Seen, Trusted, and Paid for What you Already Know?

Varant Zanoyan was born in Washington DC, and grew up there and in Switzerland as well. He now lives in the Bay Area, specifically San Mateo. He's spent time at Palantir Technologies, as well as a stint building ML tech at AirBnB. But outside of tech, he loves the outdoors, tending to his garden of plants and vegetables. After taking a good hike, he's been digging a good uni pizza for dinner. Prior to his current venture, Varant was working at AirBnB, developing Chronon - an open source data management engine, used to power AI/ML infrastructure. It was then that he and his team realized that building and managing data pipelines was a bottleneck for AI dev, and decided to spin into a standalone platform. This is the creation story of Zipline AI. Linkshttps://zipline.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/vzanoyan Current Sponsors: Tiger Data Protected Harbor Render Fitnexa Perplexity Entelligence Checkout our Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.

Itamar Syn-Hershko has been a tech guy since he was a wee lad - IE he was teaching his kindergarten teachers how to use their computers. He learned how to "do stuff" tech wise through playing games back in the day. Back in the day he was one of the original developers on a document based database, as well as building a consulting company. Outside of tech, he is the father of 5 kids, all of them 7 and under... so his hands are quite full. That said, he does enjoy learning new things and traveling, when he has the time. Itamar founded a boutique consulting agency, helping businesses succeed in data related projects. Like most smart agencies, they built tools to help them to do their jobs better. One of these tools became highly popular, and after 1.5 years of selling this tool to customers, they hit a $1m in annual recurring revenue. This is the creation story of NeverBlink AI. Linkshttps://neverblink.ai/https://bigdataboutique.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/itamar-syn-hershko Current Sponsors: Tiger Data Protected Harbor Render Fitnexa Perplexity Entelligence Checkout our Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.

A disconnect between technical capability and end-user adoption is driving current decision-making in AI and infrastructure among managed service providers and IT leaders. While companies like Broadcom, Perplexity, Apple, and NVIDIA are introducing hardware and platforms for on-premises and local AI processing, the primary lever for value remains organizational adoption rather than available technology. Costs and infrastructure investments are being shaped by how—and whether—users engage with these tools. The most significant evidence is from Voya Financial, where a five-hour AI training for 11,000 employees led to 98% adoption and frequent use, despite no change in underlying technology. Industry data cited shows that while generative AI now reaches 80% of occupations, only 2.8% of tasks have more than 50% usage, and none reach 70%. This indicates broad awareness but little real transfer of work to AI, making current spending primarily reflective of shallow adoption rather than deep operational change. Additional developments include a clear industry shift toward privately owned AI infrastructure, as shown by recent product launches and by NVIDIA's ongoing focus on cloud-rented compute. Gartner projects that consumption-based and inference-specific storage will expand rapidly by 2029, but these estimates are based on limited current adoption, underlining a mismatch between infrastructure readiness and immediate need. For MSPs and IT providers, the risk is overcommitting to AI infrastructure before clients are ready. Real opportunity lies in structured adoption programs for existing AI tools—identifying staff with teaching skills, piloting training internally, and focusing on increasing client usage. Deferring on-premises AI infrastructure projects until client adoption and economic signals align is positioned as a safer, more pragmatic approach. 00:00 Three Companies, One Idea 04:20 Nobody Turned It On 07:53 The Window Opens In 2029 10:46 Why Do We Care?

Steven Walchek is originally from the Bay Area in California, but lives in Denver now. He's been there for 8 years with his family. He comes from a family of risk takers and entrepreneurs - for example, his Dad was a tech guy who did his thing and had success in Silicon Valley. Outside of tech he is a family man, married with kids. He enjoys doing anything he can with them, as they are his "why". He plays hockey, coaches hockey, and rides dirt bikes and mountain bikes. Steven and his team built an application security platform, and ended up hitting every branch on the way down from the startup tree. When they sat down to figure out what they needed to do next, they combined their deep security tooling with a multi-modal platform, to enable complete AI governance in one central hub for regulated companies. This is the creation story of Liminal. SponsorsTiger DataProtected HarborRenderLinkshttps://www.liminal.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/swalchek/Checkout our episode stacks on Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.Our Sponsors:* Check out Perplexity and use my code CODESTORY for a great deal: https://www.perplexity.aiAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

AI is getting smarter, but most people are still forced to use it like a puzzle. Tim Lidman reveals why that's backwards and how Clyde is built to let humans and AI actually collaborate on real problems, without needing to become a prompt engineering expert. David Hill talks with Tim Lidman, founder of Clyde, about a more practical way to use AI in real work. The big idea is simple: instead of forcing people to master prompt hacks and model settings, Clyde is built to help humans and AI work together inside a shared collaboration workflow. Tim explains why he believes today's LLMs are powerful but still limited by pattern recognition, and why that matters for consulting, sales, proposal writing, and problem-solving. He also walks through how Clyde structures a session with problem clarification, AI advisors, human contributors, and fact checking to improve both speed and trust. Key topics Tim breaks down Clyde as an AI native collaboration platform designed for humans and AI to work on real problems together. He argues against the idea that AI will simply replace all software because most users still need to learn prompt engineering, context engineering, loop engineering, and related methods. Tim explains his background in collaboration software, including work on ThinkTank, which was acquired by Accenture in 2021. He distinguishes between what humans do best and what AI does best, saying humans are stronger at ideation, new information, judgment, and change implementation. He describes how Clyde starts by helping users clarify the real problem before generating solutions, instead of guessing intent the way many LLMs do. He shares how Clyde brings in AI advisors with different domain expertise, such as finance, sales, operations, and talent, depending on the task. He explains Clyde's AI advisor studio, which lets users build custom advisors using their own knowledge, past projects, and thought leadership. He gives a detailed example of proposal and RFP response workflows, where Clyde can pressure test a deal, surface win themes, and improve trust with fact checking and source breadcrumbs. David shares how he uses AI in sales for prospect research, industry research, and creating personalized presentations and templates. Tim compares Clyde to Perplexity by saying Perplexity is more like a researcher, while Clyde is more like a consultant.  Get 14 Day Go-High-Level Trial https://www.gohighlevel.com/?fp_ref=david-i-hill-training25 SOCIALS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidihill/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidihill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidHillcoach TicTok: www.tiktok.com/@davidihill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidihill X: https://twitter.com/davidihill #DavidIHill #PathToSalesMastery #ThePersistentEntrepreneur #PersistentEntrepreneurPodcast #SalesTraining #lessonsfromthemat #salesleadership #ai #aiwithhumans Get 2 Weeks FREE Go-High-Level: https://www.gohighlevel.com/?fp_ref=david-i-hill-training25

BONUS: How AI Took the Boring Out of Agile Coaching—Where Scrum Masters Should Actually Start, With Michael Dougherty Today we speak with Michael Dougherty — "Agile Mike" — about how a 30-year veteran of solution development and product leadership made AI a working part of his Agile coaching practice. Michael walks us through the journey from early ChatGPT curiosity, to documentation as the first real win, to the personal-passion project that built his comfort with the tools, and finally to where every Scrum Master should start: the retrospective. From Curiosity to Toolbox: A Slow Burn That Started With User Stories "I tried, and I thought it sucked at that. I'd rather write this by hand."   Michael's AI journey started in late 2022 with ChatGPT — like most coaches, he tried to make it write user stories and acceptance criteria. It didn't work. The output wasn't usable, and he went back to writing them by hand. What looks like a failure was actually the first lesson: not every coaching task is a good fit for AI, and the way to find out is to try. He kept experimenting in the background through 2023 and 2024 — Claude, Grok, Perplexity — while keeping personal use and business use cleanly separated. The real shift came at the Department of Homeland Security, where he sat alongside ex-Googlers, ex-OpenAI people, and an Anthropic alumnus on the team building DHS's internal chatbot. Watching what AI could do inside a heavily-protected enterprise environment changed his frame: this wasn't a productivity hack anymore, it was infrastructure. The Boring, Tedious, Now Quicker: Documentation as the First Real Win "AI has taken all those boring, tedious tasks and made them quicker, more valuable, and more fun to boot."   The first AI practice that stuck was documentation — the part of Agile coaching nobody enjoys but every client demands. Michael had spent years writing SDLC docs from blank pages, and his co-author on Shift: From Product to People used to look at empty docs and ask for help getting started. AI removed that blank-page problem. He'd give the model the team context, the client's documentation requirements, and a template — and get a draft to edit. He stayed in the loop as the human, bringing context, judgment, and final shape, but he no longer started from zero. The same shift happened with presentations: instead of fighting PowerPoint spacing, he tells the AI to drop content into a template and gets back a formatted deck. Small tasks, but multiplied across a coaching week, they bought back real time. The Personal Project Trick: Find Something You Love First "Find something you have a passion with, something you really enjoy. That made me feel comfortable with AI so I could do more."   Michael's strongest advice for coaches who feel intimidated by AI isn't to start at work — it's to build something for yourself, in a domain you care about. His own example: the Nordic Metal Tour Tracker, a personal AI agent for tracking heavy metal bands across Northern Europe (and Spain and Portugal). It plays music. It maps tours by country. It exists purely because he loves heavy metal. The trick isn't the tool — it's that working on something he actually cared about removed the fear and built the muscle memory. Once the comfort was there, transferring it to work became a small step instead of a leap. He references the rundown AI as a daily input that keeps him aware of how others — even people in their 80s — are using AI for everything from gardening to balanced school lunches. A Week With Preppy Paul: Agents, Connectors, and the End of Inbox Drudgery "Preppy Paul gives me a list of all my meetings today and the top three items I should have on each one — based on my notes, my email, my calendar."   Michael's current weekly routine looks nothing like his Agile coaching week from three years ago. He works at Zion Cloud Solutions as a Tier 1 Google AI partner, splitting time across three roles: about 20–30% traditional Agile project management (coaching a Scrum Master on a state of Illinois project), and the rest as an AI Growth Engineer and AI delivery lead on short 4–6 week projects with 3–5 person teams. The backbone is Google Gemini Enterprise — a platform that lets him run Claude, ChatGPT, or any major model behind enterprise protection (Model Armor, the SAIF framework). Inside it, connectors pull in Gmail, Outlook, Calendar, Confluence, Jira, Slack, Teams, monday.com, and thousands of other tools — each agent inherits only the permissions the user already has. A few practical patterns he runs every week:   Preppy Paul — an agent that prepares him for the day's meetings, pulling top topics per meeting from his notes, email, and calendar. Meeting-to-email — AI records and summarises every meeting, and he asks the agent to draft updates to specific team members directly from the summary. LinkedIn drafts in his voice — hashtags, formatting, and tone all match his style; he edits lightly and posts.   The pattern across all of these: the agent isn't replacing the work. It's removing the friction between the meeting and the next conversation. The Retrospective: The Best Place for Every Scrum Master to Start "Don't have it be the same darn Jira spreadsheet of the same darn three questions every time. Go to AI and eat your heart out with it."   When pushed for one thing a Scrum Master could try tomorrow morning, Michael was clear: the retrospective. It's the one Scrum event where creativity is usually welcome, where format experimentation has a low cost, and where teams are already expecting something new. Ask AI for retrospective formats that fit the team's current situation — review five or ten options, pick one, run it. The signal you watch for within a week is double: how many improvements the team generated, and how many of them actually got done. The simpler signal is the team's reaction. If at the end someone says "that was fun" — and then you tell them you used AI to design the format — you've shown the team what AI is good for without a single slide or framework. It's the smallest possible experiment with the largest possible upside. Experiment Like a Scientist, Not a Spectator "Don't be afraid of it. Try whatever you can with it. Have the viewpoint of a scientist."   The trap Michael sees most coaches falling into is curiosity without commitment — reading about AI, watching demos, talking about it, but never building anything. His framing is the opposite: be a scientist. Run experiments. Some will fail (his user-story attempt did). Some will quietly become essential (documentation did). The way to find out which is which is to keep trying, in low-stakes contexts, with both personal projects and small work experiments. The coaches who'll be useful to their teams in 18 months aren't the ones who can describe AI accurately — they're the ones who've built enough small things to know what AI is bad at, what it's surprisingly good at, and where the human in the loop has to stay.   About Michael Dougherty   "Agile Mike" has over 30 years of experience with solution development and product leadership, working in nearly every IT role that exists and literally hundreds of companies during his career. Michael has taught multiple Agile courses to over 1000 people, spoken at multiple events and podcasts, written dozens of blogs, and has been recently serving the US Government. He is the other co-author of Shift: From Product to People.   You can link with Michael Dougherty on LinkedIn and find more about his work at shiftingpeople.com and AP8XGlobal.com.

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.
