Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to the Prates' decision to take SP Paul Skenes out after throwing 65 pitches and giving up one earned run over five innings pitched in the team's 2-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.

The August edition of the PRmoment podcast's UK pitches, mergers and acquisitions round‑up is steeped in cautious‑no‑more optimism. Host Ben Smith is joined, as ever, by AAR lead consultant and PCB Partners deal‑maker Andrew Bloch, who declares that the market mood has decisively shifted. Don't forget to get your tickets for the Creative Moment Awards, coming up in September.Bloch reports that the usual summer slowdown never arrived. Instead, he describes “the busiest summer I've ever, ever seen, despite everyone being on holiday” [0:02:01], with frenetic activity on both the pitch and M&A fronts. September, he predicts, “is going to go nuts” as agencies head into a packed autumn new‑business season.Here are some highlights from this week's show:[0:01:27] Andrew Bloch: “I'm going to drop the cautious today. I think everyone is feeling pretty buoyant and optimistic… the last couple of months have been a much‑needed shot in the arm for a lot of firms heading into the second half of the year.” [0:02:01] Andrew Bloch: “There's just a feeling of, we've just got to get on with stuff… the summer's busy. It's the busiest summer I've ever, ever seen, despite everyone being on holiday!”[0:03:38] Andrew Bloch: “The smartest firms on the market are moving quick to buy in AI capabilities, rather than building it at a slower pace.”[0:03:38] Andrew Bloch: “We're seeing global network expansion firmly back on the agenda – a lot of American firms using bolt‑on acquisitions to stake out positions in markets they can't afford to ignore.”[0:05:38] Andrew Bloch: “Hugo Boss has appointed M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment on more or less a global brief… it really touches on their sweet spot of understanding culture, sport and entertainment.”[0:09:10] Andrew Bloch: “Sky Sports have added Spike to their roster to create culturally driven activations designed to connect with sports fans beyond live broadcasts.”[0:13:59] Andrew Bloch: “I'm of the firm belief that when done well, PR is the best discipline to run influencer campaigns because they understand storytelling.”[0:19:02] Andrew Bloch: “The National Lottery Community Fund's £3 million AI fund is designed to make sure marginalised groups aren't left behind by rapid advances in technology.”[0:20:14] Andrew Bloch: “The travel industry is grappling hard and fast to work out how to capitalise on changes in search and protect themselves from declines in traditional SEO.”[0:30:41] Andrew Bloch: “AI is an integral part of how any modern comms firm has to create value for clients… it's not a conversation that's ever going to go away.”On the deals side, three structural themes dominate. First, EOTs continue to entrench themselves as a mainstream exit route for founders. Eulogy and Field Consulting are the latest to go down the employee‑ownership path, joining a growing list that includes Citypress, Brands2Life and W. The tax regime has tightened but remains attractive. “The current capital gains tax on an EOT is 12%… they remain a very viable option, with lots of pros – not to say there aren't cons as well”  [0:26:17].Second, AI has moved firmly from buzzword to board‑level requirement. “The smartest firms on the market are moving quick to buy in AI capabilities, rather than building it at a slower pace” [0:03:38], says Bloch.Parity's acquisition of AI advisory firm Enigma is the standout example, aimed at helping clients become “AI‑native” and future‑proofing the group's own proposition. More broadly, he argues, “AI is an integral part of how any modern comms firm has to create value for clients… it's not a conversation that's ever going to go away” [0:30:41].Third, global network expansion is back in fashion, particularly for US‑headquartered groups. “We're seeing global network expansion firmly back on the agenda – a lot of American firms using bolt‑on acquisitions to stake out positions in markets they can't afford to ignore” [0:03:38]. Finn Partners' buy of Australian corporate shop Honner and FGS's Washington DC acquisition of Rich Foley & Anderson are cast as emblematic of this land‑grab in financial and public affairs work.On the pitch front, the episode reads like a roll‑call of heavyweight consumer and corporate briefs. Hugo Boss hands a multi‑market mandate to M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment, a win Bloch says “really touches on their sweet spot of understanding culture, sport and entertainment” [0:05:38]. Adobe's UK and EMEA comms move to Burson in what Bloch calls “a whopper of a win” [0:07:47], stretching across corporate reputation, AI storytelling, creator comms and hub‑agency coordination.Influencer and social briefs are another clear through‑line. Mischief's Matalan win underlines Bloch's conviction that, “when done well, PR is the best discipline to run influencer campaigns because they understand storytelling” [0:13:59].Uncovered's social mandate for Weetabix and Alpen, and Milk & Honey's work on the National Lottery Community Fund's £3m AI fund – “designed to make sure marginalised groups aren't left behind by rapid advances in technology” [0:19:02] – round out a month that suggests UK PR is not just busy, but structurally evolving around AI, ownership models and genuinely integrated campaigning.

According to research by Gartner, by 2029, sales organizations with AI-driven enablement functions will achieve 40% faster sales stage velocity than those using more traditional approaches. But getting there means building the kind of workflows that tell you what actually works, which is only possible when you can see inside the conversations that selling actually happens in. If you can’t, you might just find yourself scaling an AI-powered program that’s completely misaligned with how your sellers sell and how your buyers buy. So how do you understand what your teams need, and then build an innovative, mature, AI-powered enablement program to match? Riley Rogers: Welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Jill Sawyer, Director of Sales Enablement at RL Datix. Thank you so much for joining us today, Jill. I’m really excited to have you here. I think we’ve got a very fun conversation ahead. Could you give us a little bit of an overview of who you are, what your background is, and your work today? Jill Sawyer: Yeah, absolutely. First, thanks so much for having me. I’m super excited to be here. Currently, I sit as the Director of Sales Enablement for North America at RL Datix. I’ve been here for a little over seven and a half years. JS: My background is a bit non-traditional for sales enablement. I started more on the marketing and product marketing side. I moved into the enablement role a few years ago, a little bit over two and a half years ago, but I was really stepping into a function that needed to be built from the ground up. That meant figuring out not just what sellers needed to know, but how to help them actually use it in moments that matter. I’ve also recently gone back to school. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s of Jurisprudence in Health Law at Loyola University Chicago, which has been really valuable in this role. Our customers operate in a highly regulated healthcare environment, so understanding more about compliance, patient safety, risk, and legal frameworks helps me think differently about what our sellers need to understand and how we support them. RR: And you wear so many hats through it all. I’m really excited to see how all of this comes into play in your work today. But before we jump into what you’re working on now, could you give us a little bit of an overview of your sales environment? JS: Yeah. So the way I usually describe RL Datix is that we sit at an intersection of healthcare safety, risk compliance, and operational reliability. Our customers are health systems and hospitals that are trying to solve problems with very real stakes. They’re trying to either prevent harm, respond appropriately when something does go wrong, or maintain regulatory readiness. So it makes our sales environment really complex because those problems rarely belong to one department or one singular buyer. The buying committee can be really broad, and each stakeholder is looking at the problem through a different lens. So for our sellers, the challenge is being able to zoom in and zoom out. They need to understand specific workflows, not only within our product, but within the landscape. But they also need to connect that workflow to the larger operational and strategic priorities of our customers. This is where enablement for us becomes really important. I’m helping translate complex healthcare problems into clear, relevant conversations about value and outcomes and how RL Datix helps raise the standard of care. RR: So a lot for sellers to juggle, and a lot for you to help them juggle, especially because you built the enablement function largely from scratch. While doing so, you were learning what sales enablement as a concept is, what the function should look like, and how you should tailor it to your specific environment. So how did coming in without a more traditional enablement background change the way you thought about what to build, and was that kind of an advantage? JS: Yeah, so I think coming in without a traditional enablement background shaped our function in a really positive way. Since I’ve come from marketing and product marketing, I was always really thinking about our audience, message, positioning, and customer value. But when I moved over into enablement, I quickly realized that having the right message or right content was only part of the equation. I needed to help our field know how to use it in real customer conversations. I really came in thinking about what my sales reps actually need to be more confident, more consistent, and ultimately more effective. Of course, sellers needed content, but they also needed guidance, learning, reinforcement. Our leaders needed coaching and better visibility into what was working and what wasn’t. So in some ways, I approached enablement like building a product. My sellers were the users, the sales process was our workflow, and it was my job to understand their friction points and build them something that made it easier to have stronger customer conversations. RR: I love that. It’s enablement, but make it product marketing. You listed out some things that were important for sellers and things that were important for your leaders, and all of this you had to build from scratch. So as you were looking across what needed to happen, what your first few check boxes on the to-do list were, a key first step was assessing what you had and what you needed. How had RL Datix been supporting its sellers, and where did you start to see those first few gaps? JS: Yeah. When I first stepped into the role, we had a lot of strong subject matter expertise and a ton of people supporting the field in a variety of different ways. The issue wasn’t that our support structure didn’t exist, it was that it wasn’t really connected or, quite frankly, easy to scale. I had a lot of content, but it lived in a variety of different places. We had trainings, but much of it was event-based or dependent on live sessions and then going back and watching re-recordings. I needed to make sure my sellers were hearing the same message and had access to the same guidance on how we wanted our customers to hear about RL Datix and our offerings. And I needed visibility, not only for enablement, but for collaborative teams like product marketing and product, into what was actually being used, what was resonating with our customers, and where we still needed to support the field. So my final assessment really shaped the foundation that we built. It was truly creating what I call that connected enablement environment that could support sellers in the flow of their day-to-day work. RR: Yeah, and I think a recurring theme through all of this is that there were levers to pull, content to create, training to centralize, all of these things, but that wasn’t the end goal. The end goal was that when a seller hits the field, when a seller is on a Zoom call, they’re saying the right things, and they’re not just reading off bullets, they’re tailoring it because they know it and they know it well. So you’re looking at what you need to do. You have your content, you’re beginning to get it centralized and organized, your training is in place, you have data on what reps are using, you’re building. But you still can’t see inside the conversations that sellers are having to understand whether all of that work is, for lack of a better word, working. So what challenges did that lack of visibility create, and why did you start thinking that maybe a conversational intelligence tool was that next step forward? JS: Yeah. So when we brought Highspot in, we truly started with a baseline foundation. Before I could do anything more advanced, I needed to, step one, make it easier for sellers to just find what they needed and understand how to use it. It may sound really basic, but it was a huge step forward because it helped us connect content to the way sellers were actually selling. It also gave us a huge level of visibility. I could start to see what reps were using and what they were not using, to identify those true gaps. But the missing piece was actually our customer conversations. I could easily know if a rep opened a deck or completed a course, but I still didn’t know how that translated when they were in front of a customer. Were they asking strong discovery questions? Were they connecting the message to the customer’s priorities? How were we handling objections? What were we hearing? Without that level of visibility, there was still a lot of guesswork. Enablement, product marketing, product, and sales leaders were all trying to support the field, but a lot of times we were relying on anecdotal feedback or even secondhand information. Conversational intelligence really helped close that gap, and that foundation is really what made the next phase possible. Once we had the content, the training, and guidance all in one spot, I could start to think about how to layer other pieces in, like coaching, conversational intelligence, and eventually deal-level insights on top of it. RR: When you first had that line of sight into the field and what they were actually coming up against, was there anything that you didn’t expect that came through? Things that sellers were either saying that you were like, “Oh my gosh, have you been saying this for the last umpteen months?” Or that you had no idea they were running into that was a problem. You were like, “Oh, we should’ve been helping with this,” or, “We could be enabling differently.” JS: Yeah. I think for us, what it really helped open up was just the level of content that I needed. We had really great high-level intro, top-of-funnel materials, and then I would jump very quickly into technical documents. So I needed to be able to, like you said earlier, customize, and that was a gap that became pretty quickly consistent, that I needed to bring a middle-of-the-road option to help ultimately fast-track opportunities to close. It’s something that we’re still actively working through today. RR: Once you had that line of sight, not only into real-world conversations, but the analytics into usage that we’re talking about, what difference did that make for you and other cross-functional teams? We have this example of middle-of-the-funnel content, realizing this is a necessity and maybe we aren’t serving it. But were there any other moments that made it very clear this was helpful? JS: Yeah. It just gives me, and our whole company honestly, a much better shared understanding of what actually is happening in the field. From an enablement standpoint, it helps us see where reps were confident and where they needed support. Were they asking discovery questions? Were they connecting the message to customer priorities? It helped us figure out if there were gaps and ultimately skills I needed to help upskill. For our leaders, it gives them more specific coaching moments. So instead of coaching from memory or only from a pipeline update, they have the ability to coach from real customer interactions without having to sit in live on 50 calls a week. It also helped open up a level of visibility across cross-functional teams. Product marketing can come in and review whether messaging is landing, whether the decking is being used. They also get a great depth of understanding around customer questions, objections, and needs, more directly. So I’m not relying only on select feedback or the loudest feedback in the room. I use real customer conversation to keep improving our full enablement environment. RR: And as you alluded to, you’re beginning to use Deal Agent to capture deal-level insights and start to act on them. So how do you see it adding value to the environment you’ve already built and the environment you’ve already got your sellers comfortable using? JS: Yeah, Deal Agent is something we’re really excited about. We just launched it and had a full all-sales meeting with our Highspot customer success team, and it’s really that next layer of a foundation we’ve already built. We started with getting content and training all in one place. Now we’re layering in conversational intelligence, but Deal Agent is going to take that a step further for us by connecting the conversations and insights we’re gathering back to the opportunity level. This is really important for us because our sellers and our leaders don’t just need to know what happened on a call, they need to understand what that ultimately means for the deal, for them to close business. Are they talking to the right stakeholders? Are priorities clear? Do we have risks we need to address? For our sales reps, I think the value is that it can reduce some of the manual work and help them stay focused on the right actions. For leaders, it gives clear visibility into deal health and where they may need to coach. For the rest of the organization, it gives us another level of insight, so I can look to see what patterns are building across opportunities. The AI agents built into it are amazing too, because they’re helping eliminate some admin burden by building Digital Rooms faster, with the content needed at that moment for that deal. RR: And I think what’s kind of interesting is that this is a vision you see, and you’re like, “I see so much value in this. I see what the potential is.” But it’s so new, and it’s such a new way of working for literally everybody. You’re not trying to roll out a program you’ve seen elsewhere, you’re on the cutting edge. So how have you been tackling things like the rollout, the behavior change, getting folks accustomed to this very new way of working? JS: Yeah. So for us, it was big. We didn’t really have any tools like this in place already. The biggest thing we’ve learned is that you cannot roll it out as just another tool. Sellers already have a lot of tools, and if something feels disconnected from their day-to-day workflow, adoption is going to be really difficult. So we tried to anchor the rollout in practical use cases. How does it help a rep prepare for a meeting? Does it help them follow up faster, remember what the customer actually said? For our sales leaders, we’re focusing now on that next phase of coaching and visibility, helping them find a better way to understand what’s happening in their field and coach their teams appropriately. But in all honesty, there is a bit of change management. It’s a different way of working for some reps. Some reps were super excited and dove in headfirst, and others really needed to see the value a few times before it clicked and became muscle memory. So I try to keep that adoption path clear and practical. I’m not asking people to change everything overnight. We’re helping them build small habits: review call summaries, look at action items, use that deal-level information to pressure test next steps, use Digital Rooms or Pitches to send content and see what customers are engaging with. The key for us was making it feel useful before making it feel mandatory. Once people saw that it could save them time and improve their follow-up, it became less intimidating, and after a certain period of time, I was actually able to pull down any old resources they may have had a habit of going back to. RR: And since you’ve gone live with both Highspot and Deal Agent, what have you heard from the field on how they’re responding to it? JS: Yeah, so anecdotally we’ve heard that being able to get those next action items and the call takeaway was a really big piece. Being able to more easily share back the call recording also saved some steps from how they used to do it before. Deal Agent is still relatively new for us, but I think where we’re honing in is the ability to slice data in different ways, by our sales forecasting, by our sales stages, and then really pairing that with a lot of the intelligence and reporting we already have in Salesforce. That gives us and our leadership a much deeper understanding of what’s truly happening and where leaders need to step in. RR: So to your point of don’t boil the ocean, there are a handful of use cases that your sellers like, that you like, that your leaders like, that are slowly building the muscle. And over time, things might change, new use cases might emerge, but as of right now, there are a few recurring things that it sounds like people really are finding useful. Super cool, I love that. And you touched on this a little bit, but I’d love to hear a little bit more about how this is helping you solve for some of the guesswork you were feeling. We talked about building without knowing what was being used by the field and what was landing. So now that you have that combination of conversation, deal data, and usage data, how does that change what you and other teams are building and providing to your reps? JS: Yeah. It really helped us move from a state of assumption to being evidence-backed. Before, I had a lot of smart people supporting the field, but we would build materials based on individual feedback or something needed for one deal, and assume it was scalable across all deals. It’s not necessarily a wrong way to do it, but it’s an incomplete way to do it. Now that I’ve got conversations and deal data all in one spot, I can start to pull out patterns. Where can I look to see what customers are actually asking? Where can I look to see what customers are actually engaging with? Is it the same consistent objection that keeps coming up, and are we answering it in the right way? For my team, it means we’re much more targeted. Maybe the answer is a new training. Maybe it’s a better talk track or coaching around certain areas of the sales process. It could be working with product marketing to create a new Sales Play, or a clearer way to help position our value. The biggest change is that we’re actively, every day, listening, learning, and adjusting based on what’s actually happening out in the field. RR: I love that. And I think that middle-of-the-funnel example is such a good example of how you can stitch all that information together and recognize that there’s a component of your strategy you can really pull on that might be particularly valuable. So I love that we have that, not only the high level of what it’s doing, but how it comes into play in the actual work happening. Okay, so looking back, a year ago now, a few months ago now with Deal Agent, from where you started to where you are now, what’s the biggest impact you’ve achieved, or the proudest moment that sticks with you? JS: I think the thing I’m most proud of is that we built something literally from the ground up, and it changed how enablement shows up for our business. The biggest impact has been moving from a fragmented environment to a connected foundation that can be structured, measured, and embedded into how our go-to-market teams work. I can actually see that in a shift in our numbers. When we first brought Highspot on board, it was specifically a sales-only tool. I didn’t have any other broader teams in the tooling, and now we’ve doubled our Highspot user base. I’ve expanded from supporting just sales to supporting the broader go-to-market team. Training has been one of our largest wins. We’ve moved from one-off live training to structured onboarding paths and ongoing learning. We’re actually in the midst of a current go-to-market training refresh, taking everyone through our RL Datix 360, as we call it, and I went from maybe a 4% completion rate in the early days to now seeing nearly 100% completion. Last time I looked, we were at around 97 or 98%. That’s a huge shift in the consistency and accountability I have with my field. For content, 91% of our internal audiences are viewing our content in Highspot, and I’ve got close to 500 opportunities actively engaging with our content. So it’s telling me this isn’t just a repository where things sit. It’s becoming embedded in their daily workflows, in how they prepare, sell, and engage our customers. There’s also a time-savings piece. It’s a little harder to quantify, but I feel it every day. I’m still working toward maturing how we connect this directly to revenue outcomes like win rate and pipeline movement, but now I’ve got a solid foundation, a high level of adoption, and the visibility to keep building toward that. RR: Jill, the volume of work that happened in one year, when we talk about building the foundation, that’s the year. But you took 365 days, built out the foundation, drove the behavior change, and now you’re already in the midst of that next phase of evolution and getting people on board. So bravo, I don’t know how you did that. Hope you’re sleeping. I’d love to get a little bit of perspective on how you did it, for other leaders who are in that phase of building a strategy from the ground up. How would you recommend they get started, especially in an AI-first world? JS: Yeah. We went live with the product really, really fast. I had a great team behind me, and we worked hard every single day to get things built. But my advice would be actually not to start with AI. It’s probably going to be a little controversial, but I think you should start with the problem you’re trying to solve. It can be really tempting to jump straight into the newest tool or capability, but if your foundation isn’t there, AI can just make the mess faster. I would start by understanding where the friction is for your sellers and go-to-market teams. Can they find what they need? Do they understand the message in training? Do they know what good looks like? Are managers coaching consistently? Do you have visibility into what’s happening in customer conversations? Can you tell what’s helping deals move forward or stall? Once you understand those gaps, you can be more intentional about where AI fits. Can it help a rep prepare faster, summarize conversations, surface deal risk, build up Digital Rooms? It should really be tied to a true, real workflow and a business need. This is when AI becomes much more powerful, because it’s got the right context. It’s not just another tool. It’s a way to scale insight, reduce manual work, and help the team make better decisions faster. So for an enablement leader starting from scratch, I’d say: listen first, build your foundation, solve the real frictions in your sales force, and then use AI to scale what’s already working. RR: I really liked the question framework you threw out there. Because I think especially when people are starting to build, you have this insane arena of potential work to be done. And when you can start to ask the right questions that build toward the right purpose, you can get to the exciting work down the line. Well, Jill, thank you so much for chatting with us today. It’s been really wonderful to hear a little bit about what you’re building, how you’re thinking about building, and I’m so curious to see what’s next down the line. We’ll have to stay in touch. JS: Yeah. Thanks so much for having me. This was great. RR: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win/Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize go-to-market success with Highspot.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh were joined by Chicago Sports Network analyst Ozzie Guillen to break down the White Sox's ugly 14-2 loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday. White Sox right-hander Davis Martin continued to struggle in allowing nine earned runs in five innings. Is he tipping his pitches?

Joe Carter, Strategic Agency Lead at brand tracking company Tracksuit, discusses how real-time brand tracking can revolutionize marketing strategies, improve agency-client collaboration, and drive long-term business growth.  We often discuss how the agency pitch process is, in many ways, where strategy goes to die. Too often, the process is reduced to a "beauty parade" or a race to the bottom on price, leaving little room for the deep, evidence-based strategic thinking that actually drives business growth.  But what if the pitch could be the place where strategy is actually born? By integrating real-time, longitudinal brand tracking into the process, we can move away from subjective debates and toward a shared understanding of market reality.  Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/managing-marketing/id1018735190   Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/75mJ4Gt6MWzFWvmd3A64XW?si=a3b63c66ab6e4934   Listen on Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/managing-marketing   Listen on Podbean: https://managingmarketing.podbean.com/    For more episodes of TrinityP3's Managing Marketing podcast, visit https://www.trinityp3.com/managing-marketing-podcasts/   Recorded on RiversideFM and edited, mixed and managed by JML Audio with thanks to Jared Lattouf.

Bobby and Alex are joined by friend of the show Matthew Roberson for the sequel to 2025's much-lauded Sipping Pitches, AKA the MLB liquor taste test. They taste 11 (!!!) alcohols that are owned or prominently sponsored by MLB players and coaches while going around in round-robin fashion sharing takes, thought-provoking questions, and personal anecdotes. This year is bigger, better, and unquestionably drunker.

I'm talking to Bhaskar Sunkara, CEO of bicycle.AI, which provides an AI analyst product designed to monitor revenue-critical KPIs, investigate the business and technical drivers behind KPI changes, and take a “governed next step.” Bhaskar explains why analytics products often fail when they overwhelm users with telemetry instead of focusing on the signals that matter. Drawing from his experience as founding CTO of AppDynamics, he shares how his team moved from low-level technical monitoring to business transactions like logins, checkouts, and bookings. The key lesson? Start with the right metric at the right level of granularity, then use deeper technical analysis to explain why something changed.   Bhaskar also breaks down how bicycle.AI serves multiple audiences inside an enterprise. Business leaders want measurable outcomes, KPI owners need answers about what changed and what to do next, and data teams require trust, governance, and traceability. He explains how, in order to support these different users, Bicycle separates product experience into four core surfaces: pull features like dashboards and chat, and push features like alerts and data stories. Alerts further help operational users respond quickly to KPI changes and data stories provide executives with strategic narratives around trends, causes, and business impact. During our chat, Bhaskar also draws a line most AI products blur: be explicit about which findings are deterministic and which are only a theory. He connects this directly to my CED framework, separating the conclusion from the evidence from the underlying data, and argues that how much you automate should be governed by one question: how costly is being wrong?   I also probed Bhaskar about their moat. He's learned that enterprise adoption requires winning over both executives who care about revenue impact and analytics teams that need confidence in the system's recommendations. Bhaskar also explains why their long-term advantage comes from the DEAL framework: Detect, Explain, Act, and Learn. By continuously incorporating validated decisions, business context, and customer-specific knowledge, the platform becomes more useful over time. We finish up with his advice for fellow analytical AI product founders, including why AI makes user experience more important, not less: it is the connection between agents, decisions, humans, and accountability.   Highlights / Skip to: Making the invisible feel urgent enough for customers to buy products (2:41) How to avoid creating the ‘metrics toilet' when the system can do so much (6:56) Designing for the end-user versus the buyer, especially during the POC phase (12:20) Thinking about the product's design in a way that ensures Bicycle's business value is obvious (15:38) How bicycle.AI's “push” and “pull” features help stakeholders see value (20:54) Getting their first 20 customers (25:19) What Bhaskar got wrong: over-rotating on the business buyer vs. the analytics team (32:23) The homework a build-anything horizontal platform imposes on customers (and Bicycle's vertical antidote) (34:30) Bicycle.AI's moat: compounding institutional knowledge (36:08) DEAL: Detect, Explain, Act, and Learn (40:46) How they designed the UX to reduce time-to-value during onboarding/setup (44:51) Bhaskar Sunkara's advice for other analytical AI founders (and why AI makes UX even more important to address) (47:47) Links bicycle.ai  Bhaskar Sunkara's LinkedIn  My CED framework for advanced analytics products that Bhaskar references in this episode

L'Espagne affronte l'Argentine ce dimanche 19 juillet dans le New Jersey, à côté de New York. La finale marque la fin de cette Coupe du monde XXL avec 104 matchs au Canada, au Mexique et aux États-Unis. Les États-Unis où le foot, ou « soccer » comme ils disent, n'est pourtant pas le sport le plus populaire et doit rivaliser avec le football américain, le baseball ou le basket. Mais à Atlanta, qui a accueilli une partie de la compétition, la Coupe du monde a su conquérir le cœur de certains.  De notre envoyé spécial à Atlanta, À Atlanta, l'engouement pour le football atteint des sommets inédits. Pied droit, pied gauche... Sidney s'entraîne à jongler sur un terrain de foot dans un parc. L'adolescent joue au football depuis longtemps ici, mais n'a jamais vu autant d'engouement pour son sport. « À chaque fois que je vais sur un terrain de foot, j'ai l'impression qu'il y a de plus en plus de monde. On dirait que tout le monde se met au foot. Le sport a pris une ampleur incroyable. Franchement, ici à Atlanta, on n'entend parler que de ça : le foot par-ci, le foot par-là. C'est sans doute le phénomène numéro un du moment ici à Atlanta », confie-t-il. Sidney est venu avec un ami pour lui montrer comment manier le ballon. Hariz avait un peu joué plus jeune, mais s'y est vraiment mis après être allé voir un match de la Coupe du monde à Atlanta. « Je me suis dit que ce serait sympa d'essayer, alors je suis venu au parc et je me suis mis à jouer. C'est vraiment amusant. C'est clairement plus difficile que ça en a l'air, mais on prend vite goût au jeu », explique-t-il. Sidney a du mal à réaliser à quel point son entourage s'est mis à suivre la compétition. « Rien qu'hier, ma mère a passé près de deux heures à essayer de me convaincre que l'Argentine était la meilleure équipe qu'elle ait jamais vue jouer. Alors qu'avant ça, elle n'avait jamais vu un match de foot à part peut-être mes matchs. C'est juste magnifique de voir cela, tous ces nouveaux fans qui s'intéressent vraiment à ce sport », raconte-t-il. « Allez, on se rassemble, en cercle ! Aujourd'hui, on va travailler plus particulièrement sur les corners et les coups francs », lance Kush Mansingh, l'entraîneur de ce groupe de niveau débutant proposé par l'association « Sons of Pitches ». « Il y a toujours eu beaucoup d'intérêt, mais cet été, on voit davantage de gens s'inscrire et se mettre à jouer. Beaucoup cherchent à mieux comprendre comment fonctionne ce sport. Et puis, se rassembler, regarder les matchs ensemble et aller jouer avant ou après un match de la Coupe du monde », observe-t-il. Un sport qui n'est pas toujours très accessible, regrette Gabrielle Green, l'une des joueuses, qui a démarré le football en mars. « Je pense que le foot est sans doute l'un des sports les plus difficiles d'accès. Aux États-Unis, en tout cas, c'est un sport qui coûte cher, beaucoup plus cher que dans d'autres pays. Et puis, en termes de popularité, le football américain et le basket passent clairement avant. Du coup, c'est forcément plus compliqué de s'y mettre », souligne-t-elle. Certains Américains se demandent même quoi faire pour s'occuper une fois la Coupe du monde terminée.

Yamal and Messi aren't the only stars of the World Cup finals. If you've been watching any of the games, you've probably stared directly at a huge, unsung hero: the turf. Turf grass science is a real thing, and it's John Sorochan's area of expertise. He's a scientist at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and he's spent the last eight years preparing for the grass pitch the players are scoring on. John had the daunting task of figuring out how to create consistency and uniformity across all the World Cup stadiums. That meant dozens of team base camps and 16 different stadiums where turf had to weather all kinds of conditions – from Mexico City's high altitude, to Miami's sweltering heat. Today on Short Wave, we dive into the science behind it all. Interested in more science behind your favorite sports?

50 Shades of Green dives into the unexpected intersection of climate and the world's most beloved sport in this timely episode. Hosts Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran welcome Elliot Arthur-Worsop, founder of Football for Future, to explore how football (soccer) can be a powerful vehicle for climate communication, action, and adaptation. Fresh off the global spectacle of the World Cup, Adam and Katie frame the conversation with fan anecdotes and the tournament's uncanny ability to unite divided rooms — then pivot to the bigger picture: how that unity and cultural reach can help break the climate echo chamber.Elliot shares his origin story — from climate activism with Extinction Rebellion to realizing that football culture offers a far broader, more diverse audience for climate messaging. He describes the “penny-drop” moment that launched Football for Future: grassroots fans who loved the game but found mainstream climate activism off-putting. That insight led to campaigns that marry sport, storytelling, science, and celebrity to make climate action feel relevant to billions of fans worldwide.The conversation centers on Football for Future's flagship research and campaign, “Pitches in Peril,” which maps future climate risk for both World Cup stadiums and the grassroots pitches where legends began. Elliot and the hosts walk listeners through the methodology: partnering with top climate forecasters, applying established playability thresholds (like wet-bulb globe temperature), and translating complex climate projections into a relatable metric — days of unplayable football. The result is a storytelling breakthrough: instead of abstract temperature stats, fans can grasp how many match or training days could be lost by 2050, making climate risk tangible to players, clubs, and communities.Listeners learn how the campaign built momentum — from a global survey of thousands of fans and a major media lift (translations into multiple languages and significant earned media value) to player activations and partnerships. Elliot emphasizes pragmatic, football-first recommendations: clubs and governing bodies should set carbon neutrality targets, publish sustainability strategies, and crucially, create adaptation funds as legacy investments to protect grassroots pitches and community programs in host nations.The episode highlights concrete funding ideas — ring-fenced adaptation funds, sponsorship contributions tied to social value, and embedding climate resilience into existing facility upgrade streams. Elliot argues that measuring impact in “playable days saved” offers a compelling ROI that resonates with funders and football administrators, while also delivering measurable social benefits like youth engagement, education, and community health.Adam and Katie reflect on the wider implications: sport's unique cultural reach, its power to convene strangers around shared rituals and values, and its potential to normalize climate adaptation at the highest levels. They also explore how athletes, post-career and current, are stepping into climate advocacy, offering relatable messengers who connect health, performance, and environmental stability.This episode is for climate communicators, sports fans curious about sustainability, and anyone interested in how cultural institutions can accelerate climate action. Tune in for a thoughtful blend of data-driven analysis, campaign insight, and human stories that show how protecting the future of football is inseparable from protecting the planet.

Bobby and Alex discuss the debate over the word “analytics” that's raging across the basketball internet, observing how eerily similar it is to the one that has poisoned baseball discourse over the last decade. Then, they make an exciting announcement about a new series of episodes called the Tipping Pitches: The Audit, where they'll be conducting deep dives into all 30 MLB teams' publicly available finances, spending, and more in an effort to set a level playing field for future labor discussions as the CBA expires. Next, they dig into the latest round of economic proposals from MLB and the MLBPA, including a radical max contract proposal from the owners that would fundamentally alter the existence of free agency in MLB, before discussing the PR blitz that the MLB side is building to try and win over public opinion.Finally, in honor of Bobby's trip to Camden Yards, they conduct a tiered ranking of the MLB stadiums that they've attended.Links:Tipping Pitches Rockies Meetup Interest Form⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

Amy brings in her latest dilemma, her daughter asking her to go on a reality show. Should she let her? Lunchbox pitches a bit that seems dangerous but he thinks we need to do it to change the stigma around it. We played Bobby Feud, where the question is what is the worst place to get stuck for an hour? Amy shares the story of someone taking her daughter shopping and telling her not to look at any price tags. We also get Lunchbox's reacton to the situation. We also heard of the luckiest lottery story of all-time after an interaction with a rude customer turned into a million dollar win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
