What if everything you've been told about resilience is wrong?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, host Andy speaks with Jay Abbasi — CEO and founder of The Conscious Professional, former Tesla leader, and international keynote speaker who has coached leaders at Google, Amazon, and Wells Fargo. After his father's sudden passing in 2014 woke him up to the costs of living on autopilot, Jay rebuilt his life around one question: how do leaders perform at a high level without burning out?  Andy and Jay unpack the Three Rs framework — recharge, reframe, reconnect — the myth that resilience means powering through, why the most burnt-out leaders are the ones who built their entire identity on a single pillar, and the research connecting negative thinking to physical illness. It's a conversation about adaptability, multi-dimensionalism, and what changes when leaders stop being self-absorbed long enough to actually engage with their work.  Tune in episode 246 to hear Jay's story and learn how to recharge before you hit zero.  AndrewTemte.com

At Google I/O 2026, Phillip sits down with Suresh Ganapathy, Senior Director of Product Management for Consumer Shopping at Google, to unpack the day's announcements: Universal Commerce Protocol's expansion into new verticals, agentic payments arriving in Gemini Spark, and the debut of Universal Cart. We trace what these foundational pieces mean for how a billion daily shoppers, and the merchants serving them, will operate in an agent-mediated economy. Enter the Delegation Era Key Takeaways: Universal Cart maintains shopper state across Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail. The cart works on your behalf: tracking prices, flagging restocks, and catching product incompatibilities. Agent Payments Protocol's (AP2) tamper-proof contracts make agent purchases verifiable and accountable to shopper intent. Merchants remain seller of record, preserving customer relationships inside agentic flows. Gemini Spark becomes Google's first consumer agent with purchasing authority this fall. Key Quotes: "We're laying the foundational building blocks of agentic commerce." — Suresh Ganapathi "People come to shop at Google over a billion times a day, and we want to make sure that we're delivering the best experience to them when they do." — Suresh Ganapathi "We want to make it really simple for shoppers to enjoy the fun parts of shopping and then delegate some of these more tedious aspects to agents." — Suresh Ganapathi "Spark is the agent. AP2 is the payments protocol. Universal Cart is the ability for consumers to have less friction." — Phillip Further Reading: More on Google's AI play: Insiders: Google Solidifies Its Place in the AI Race More on agent-mediated commerce: Member Brief: Agentic Commerce and the eCommerce Site's New Existential Crisis Our 2026 Predictions: The Age of Autonomy Learn more about Google I/O Google's Universal Cart Announcement Our Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

Episode 145: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Aaron Wormus, Chief Technology Officer at SMArtX Advisory Solutions. Aaron has spent years building technology infrastructure for the financial services industry, from hedge fund platforms to enterprise-grade advisory systems. At SMArtX, he focuses on solving the operational and data challenges that prevent advisory firms from scaling efficiently while helping advisors access institutional-quality tools once reserved for large enterprises. Kyle and Aaron explore the growing shift from fragmented advisory technology toward unified enterprise infrastructure. Aaron breaks down how UMA architecture changes the advisor experience, why portfolio accounting engines power real-time innovation, and how firms can build modern “advisor-built enterprise platforms” using best-of-breed technology. They also discuss AI, data orchestration, operational toil, and why the firms most open to technology and experimentation will have a major advantage in the years ahead. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:13) - Aaron's money moment and the early days of SMArtX (03:15) - Is SMArtX a TAMP, a fintech platform, or something else entirely? (04:37) - What actually makes technology “enterprise-grade” (06:24) - Why UMA architecture changes everything (09:26) - The hidden infrastructure powering modern advisory platforms (12:20) - The rise of the advisor-built enterprise platform (15:15) - Why portfolio accounting engines matter so much (19:05) - How SMArtX and Milemarker fit together (21:00) - Why the entire industry is moving toward unified infrastructure (22:24) - AI, orchestration layers, and the future of connected systems (25:51) - Turning hand-drawn ideas into live AI-powered workflows (27:31) - AI guardrails, security, and enterprise data protection (28:34) - Aaron's predictions for the next three years of wealth tech (30:27) - Eliminating “toil” inside advisory firms (32:13) - Aaron's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways The next generation of advisory firms will behave more like technology companies. Advisors increasingly want flexible infrastructure that lets them combine best-of-breed tools into a unified client experience instead of operating inside rigid “walled garden” ecosystems. Real-time experiences depend on invisible infrastructure. Portfolio accounting, reconciliation, trading order sequencing, and data normalization may not sound exciting, but they are the foundational systems that make modern advisory experiences possible. AI's biggest impact may be removing operational friction rather than replacing advisors. Aaron repeatedly returns to the idea of eliminating “toil”—the repetitive operational work that slows firms down and distracts advisors from relationships and growth. Clean, secure, accessible data is becoming the real competitive advantage. AI tools are only as useful as the infrastructure and guardrails surrounding them. Firms with reconciled data and strong architecture will be positioned to move significantly faster than firms still trapped in disconnected systems. Quotes "We're in a new space where the people who are open to technology, open to building, really are the ones who win." ~ Aaron Wormus "Most advisors want to become advisors so they can help people. They want to go out and solve problems. They don't want to spend all their time rebalancing stuff or using spreadsheets." ~ Aaron Wormus "Being able to have that reconciled data, being able to know that the data is good, being able to provide that data into different systems, that's really where that key component is." ~ Aaron Wormus Links  Aaron Wormus on LinkedIn SMArtX Advisory Solutions Fidelity Investments  Charles Schwab  Goldman Sachs  Claude Red Notice Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Omar Zoubi, VP of Autonomous Mobility & Rideshare Network Strategy at TaskUs. Omar breaks down how TaskUs supports autonomous vehicle operators behind the scenes, from remote assistance to handling edge cases that today's AI systems still struggle to navigate. We get into TaskUs' role across the AV ecosystem, including who they partner with and how their human-in-the-loop model helps fleets operate safely and scale more efficiently. Omar explains the types of real-world scenarios where AVs need intervention, how those interventions feed back into improving AI systems, and what it takes to support different types of fleets with varying operational needs. The conversation also covers the current stage of the AV industry, including how companies like Waymo are approaching remote assistance and safety, and what challenges emerge as fleets grow. We discuss operational complexity, cost structures, and how companies think about cost per mile as they move toward commercialization. Finally, Omar shares his perspective on where TaskUs adds the most value today, how the human-in-the-loop model will evolve over time, and what the future of the AV industry looks like as autonomy matures.

Simeon Hyman, global investment strategist at ProShares, says that we have "had the most stunning earnings season in pretty much anybody's recollection," exceeding expectations and making it that the market is more focused on the earnings story than anything else, including bad news about war, inflation and more. He sees that trend continuing, even if inflation rises or stays sticky, until or unless it bumps into a recession, which he sees as unlikely. Hyman also discusses ProShares' new ETF based on the S&P 500 Buyback Aristocrats Index, and how that fund and a sister dividend aristocrats fund can be used to add consistency to a portfolio for investors who fear the bad news. He also discusses why he is overweighting small-cap now, seeing it returning to its historic role of providing above-average market returns. Rachel Perez discusses Choice Mutual's 7th annual Funeral Preferences Survey, which found that nearly one in five Americans have no financial plan whatsoever for their funeral, leaving family or friends to shoulder the burden, which averages in the $8,000 range but which can easily be double or triple that cost.  In the Market Call, Wayne Thorp, chief executive officer at BetterInvesting — which is part of the National Association of Investors — brings the well-developed principles of the group's Stock Selection Guide to look for high-quality growth companies that can be held for the long term.

In this episode of CTO Confessions, TC Gill sits down with Luca Bonmassar, CTO of Checkr — a platform that helps millions of people find meaningful work and helps companies hire with confidence. Luca brings over 20 years of experience across Fintech, Crypto, Social Media, and AI/ML, and has co-founded and sold three startups. He's one of the rare CTOs who moves as comfortably in a business conversation as a technical one. In this episode: → Why understanding the business side isn't optional for a CTO → The surprising complexity of data that still exists only in physical form → Why hiring fast and firing faster may cost you more than you think → His philosophy on over-engineering — and why patience often wins "It's better to be late knowing that what you build will have greater impact than building things and hoping someone will use them one day."

QUOTES from the episode: "Utilities are no longer just incentive providers. They are becoming design partners." "High performance is not a luxury in affordable housing. It is a necessity for predictable living costs." "If you want this to scale, it starts with early coordination and shared goals."  In this episode of RESTalk, we head to Tempe, Arizona, where extreme heat, rising energy costs, and housing needs are converging, and where a standout project is redefining what ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction can look like in a hot, dry climate. Bill is joined by Rebecca Smout of Salt River Project (SRP), Joe Keeper of Copa Health, and Jacob Alvarez of Desert Skies Energy to unpack the story behind La Victoria Commons, an ENERGY STAR–certified multifamily development designed with both performance and people in mind. At the center of the conversation is a powerful idea: utilities are no longer just incentive providers; they are becoming design partners. Through early collaboration, flexible program design, and deep involvement from HERS® raters, this project demonstrates how technical rigor and cost awareness can coexist. The team walks through how early modeling, integrated design, and verification helped align multiple programs and certifications while still delivering a practical, buildable project. But the real impact shows up at the resident level. As Joe explains, high-performance construction is not just about energy savings; it is about creating predictable, manageable utility costs for families in affordable housing. Combined with transit access, EV infrastructure, and community services, La Victoria Commons becomes more than a development. It becomes a replicable blueprint for housing equity and market transformation in some of the most demanding climates in the country.

The rapid expansion of AI data centers is reshaping power systems and increasing the importance of social license where some communities are demanding greater transparency. Doug Morrow, Director of ESG Strategy at BMO Capital Markets, explains to host Alma Cortés Selva, Senior Advisor with the BMO Climate Institute, how surging investment in Artificial Intelligence, cloud computing, and automation is transforming electricity markets and placing data centers under new kinds of public scrutiny. Morrow explores why concerns over rising power bills, water use, and questionable local economic benefits have turned data centers into a flashpoint for communities, investors, and policymakers alike. He discusses what responsible growth looks like in practice—from clearer disclosure of energy and water impacts to emerging industry pledges and community‑first approaches—and why trust and transparency will be just as critical as technology in determining whether the next phase of digital infrastructure build‑out succeeds.  In this previous episode of Sustainability Leaders, Rich Powell, CEO of the Clean Energy Buyers Association, discusses how innovative approaches – from data center flexibility to technologies such as geothermal and nuclear – are shaping the future of energy markets. Amazon Web Services was the focus of a previous podcast on the topic of energy-efficient data centers. Visit BMO for more thought leadership from Alma Cortes Selva with the BMO Climate Institute.

Lithium is an essential ingredient of most modern electronics. It helps to power our phones, our laptops, and increasingly EVs and other key parts of the green transition. As Thea Riofrancos, a political scientist and author of the new book “Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism,” explains, the story of lithium — how it's mined, how it's refined, and how it makes its way around the world — isn't just a business story. It's a story of geopolitics and power.On this episode (originally published on the Rhodes Center Podcast, another podcast from the Watson School), Watson political economist and Rhodes Center director Mark Blyth talks with Thea about the politics and economics of lithium extraction, how the race to electrify our energy supply is reshaping the global economy, and what it means for the future of our planet.

Adam Lewis, Managing Director at Citizens M&A Advisory, joins the Nomad Futurist podcast with co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Philip Koblence for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on how telecom, capital markets, and digital infrastructure are colliding in the age of AI — and what it really takes to keep up. What sets Adam apart is how he learned the business: not just behind a desk, but on the ground. Early in his career, he went beyond financial models and into the environments where networks actually live: carrier hotels, central offices, and the physical backbone of the internet. That decision to pair finance with firsthand operational insight gave him an edge that continues to define his work today, a mindset that still shapes how he advises in an increasingly complex industry: “I really wanted to understand the business, not just from a finance lens, but from an operational perspective.” That complexity has only intensified with the rise of AI. Adam reflects on just how dramatically the landscape has shifted, from modest 5 MW deployments to massive, multi-hundred-megawatt campuses pushing toward gigawatt scale. But this isn't just growth for growth's sake. He frames it as a fundamental response to AI's demands: more compute, denser chips, and entirely new levels of infrastructure. At the same time, he brings a grounded perspective, reminding us that real-world constraints like power and supply chains will ultimately define how far and how fast this expansion can go: “I certainly didn't anticipate AI, the scale of demand, the size of data centers, and how mainstream it's become.” The conversation also gets personal, turning to careers and the human side of a rapidly evolving industry. Adam views AI as a powerful tool, but only in the hands of people willing to learn, adapt, and stay curious. And while technology will continue to change how we work, his advice cuts through the noise: fulfillment still matters. “Do what you like… it really sucks to wake up every morning and hate your job.” This episode is a candid look at an industry in motion told through the lens of someone who has seen it from every angle. If you're trying to understand where digital infrastructure is heading, how AI is reshaping the landscape, or what it takes to build a meaningful career within it, this is a conversation worth tuning into.

Connectivity becomes transformational in healthcare when it helps providers extend their expertise, close access gaps, and support care beyond the hospital walls. In this episode, Robin Goldsmith, Practice Leader for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Verizon Business, shares why connectivity is no longer just infrastructure. It is becoming a strategic foundation for healthcare delivery. Drawing on nearly two decades in the space, Robin explains how the pandemic exposed major gaps in access for patients without reliable devices or networks, and why that moment clarified the role telecommunications can play in healthcare transformation. He discusses the growing pressure on providers to improve patient and clinician experience while managing thin margins, workforce shortages, and rising demand for more distributed care. Robin also highlights how stronger network infrastructure, better partnerships, and new models for rural health, remote monitoring, and even robotic surgery can help health systems expand access and move care closer to patients. Tune in to learn how connectivity is helping healthcare become more responsive, more distributed, and more equitable. Resources: Connect with and follow Robin Goldsmith on LinkedIn!
