Soham Mazumdar, CEO and Co-Founder of WisdomAI, discusses how organizations can break free from the "drowning in data but starving for insights" paradox that plagues modern enterprises. We explore his journey from Google's TeraGoogle project to co-founding and scaling Rubrik through its $5.6 billion IPO, and why he left that success to build an agentic AI approach to Business Intelligence (BI) that transforms how businesses extract value from their data investments.SHOW: 971SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Cloudcast #963 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtube.com/@TheCloudcastNET NEW TO CLOUD?

What was the "aha moment" that made you leave that success to tackle the enterprise data analytics problem with WisdomAI?Topic 3 - Let's define the core problem. Organizations invest heavily in modern data platforms - Snowflake, Databricks, etc. - but there is the term "drowning in data but starving for insights." What's broken in the traditional BI stack that prevents business users from getting answers?Topic 4 - How do agentic AI and BI fit together? WisdomAI introduces the concept of "Knowledge Fabric" and agentic data insights. Break this down for us - how does this fundamentally differ from traditional dashboards and BI tools?Topic 5 - One of the biggest challenges with GenAI in enterprise settings is hallucination.

Let's be honest—most onboarding experiences are forgettable at best and overwhelming at worst. Yet for many organizations, the way they welcome new employees hasn't kept up. Traditional onboarding often feels like a box to check—an administrative marathon of paperwork, policies, and PowerPoints. But in a world where people are craving connection, clarity, and belonging, that approach simply doesn't work anymore.As discussed in a recent DEI After 5 episode, embracing change—especially when it comes to how we onboard—can be a powerful catalyst for growth, both for individuals and organizations.Why Onboarding Needs to ChangeWe know that employees decide whether they'll stay with an organization within their first few months—and for Generation Z, that decision happens even faster. According to recent data, 20% of Gen Z employees quit because of poor onboarding, and 8% leave within the first 90 days if the experience doesn't meet expectations. That's not just a retention problem—it's a culture problem.Gen Z and younger millennials are entering the workforce with a clear set of values. They want to understand what a company stands for from day one. In fact, 62% of women and 42% of men in Gen Z expect to learn about their organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies during onboarding. This isn't just a “nice-to-have” feature—it's foundational to how they decide whether they belong.When onboarding fails to answer those deeper questions—Do I fit here? Is this a place where I can grow? Will my voice matter?—employees start to disengage before they've even begun.From Administrative to TransformationalEffective onboarding is no longer about checklists—it's about connection. It's an invitation to embrace change, to build trust, and to set the tone for psychological safety from day one.Organizations that get this right are moving from “orientation sessions” to onboarding experiences—interactive, personalized, and grounded in the company's values and culture. Instead of overwhelming new hires with information, they're creating space for exploration and engagement.In the podcast, we explored how today's employees are wired for interactivity. They grew up in digital spaces that reward curiosity and participation. Sitting through hours of dense slides? That's a fast track to disengagement. In fact, 75% of Gen Z admits to skipping or fast-forwarding through boring onboarding content.Modern onboarding should mirror how people learn and connect today:* Short, engaging videos that bring your culture and values to life.* Interactive learning tools that reinforce understanding instead of memorization.* Opportunities for dialogue, where new hires can safely ask questions without fear of judgment.* Stories and experiences that show—not just tell—how your organization lives its values.Psychological Safety Starts on Day OneA powerful theme from the podcast was the link between effective onboarding and psychological safety. When employees feel comfortable asking questions, sharing feedback, or admitting what they don't know, they're more likely to succeed—and stay.But when onboarding is rigid or transactional, it sends an early signal: “We care more about compliance than connection.” And that's where disengagement begins.By reframing onboarding as the first act of culture-building, organizations can demonstrate trust and transparency immediately. That first impression becomes the foundation for engagement, innovation, and long-term commitment.Embracing Change for GrowthEmbracing change—whether in how we work, lead, or onboard—requires adaptability and courage. It's about stepping outside of what's comfortable to build something that actually resonates.The most successful organizations are those that view onboarding not as a one-time event, but as an evolving process of integration and growth. They understand that people don't just need information—they need belonging.When leaders create space for new hires to feel seen, supported, and empowered, they set the stage for resilience, innovation, and shared success. Change, after all, is only disruptive when we resist it. When we lean into it, it becomes the very thing that helps us grow.If you want to learn more about how to create a culture of care, foster psychological safety, and design workplaces where people thrive from day one, subscribe to our YouTube channelSacha Thompson, founder of The Equity Equation, boasts 20+ years of experience spanning education, non-profit, and tech sectors.

We've all sat through bad slide decks—but what about the ones that change history? In this episode of Is This Really a Thing?, Dean Paul Jarley is joined by Jim Balaschak, Dr. Mike Pape, and Derek Saltzman to explore whether the so-called “billion-dollar PowerPoint” is myth or reality. From Airbnb and Tesla's iconic pitch decks to the role of storytelling, trust, and investor psychology, they unpack what makes a presentation powerful, what doesn't, and whether AI or new tools might one day dethrone PowerPoint. Featured Guests Michael Pape, Ph.D. - Dr. Phillips Entrepreneur in Residence & Professor of Practice, Management Jim G. Balaschak - Principal, Deanja, LLC Derek Saltzman - Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Soarce Episode Transcription Paul Jarley: We've all sat through terrible slide decks, but every so often a PowerPoint does more than communicate. It creates value. Think of the pitch deck that launched Airbnb, the presentation that convinced investors to fund Tesla or the strategy decks that shape billion dollar mergers. So is the billion dollar PowerPoint really a thing? Can a few slides actually change the course of business history, or is it just a fancy way of describing really good storytelling? This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, Is This Really a Thing? Onto our show. To help me figure this out, I've invited three guests. Jim Balaschak is an alum of the college, in our Hall of Fame, and a serial investor. Dr. Mike Pape is an Entrepreneur in Residence here at the College of Business, and Derek Saltzman is a former winner of the Joust and is co-founder of a company called Soarce. Thank you gentlemen for being here today. We've all seen really bad PowerPoints. Talk a little bit about what makes a great one. Jim, I'll start with you. Jim Balaschak: A PowerPoint that catches my eyes shows a big potential market, a problem they've identified that they have a solution for that they can make money on. It's not necessarily always the slides, but the slides can quickly convey the idea of the thoughts. And a lot of times before I meet with a founder, I'm emailed the pitch deck and going through the pitch deck helps me determine do I want to pursue this to the next step, get on the call with the founder, have them pitch it to me? I think it's a good way to open the door. Paul Jarley: The quality of the pitch deck tells you something about how serious and well thought out this is, right? So a schlocky one can really close the door, maybe more than a really good one can enhance it. Is that fair in your view? Derek Saltzman: Yeah. Paul Jarley: Derek, what do you think? Derek Saltzman: I think there's a lot to take into consideration with the audience and the stage gate of when you're first starting a pitch or when you're trying to interact. There's multiple decks for multiple stage gates. So in the first beginning intro, like for instance, how Jim said, when you're trying to send and get that initial meeting, it's all about a hook. Can you describe what you do in the most succinct, effective way possible to get the message across of what the problem is, how you're solving that problem, and what's the revenue potential like he described? Because that's what all investors are really looking for. Once you move past that initial stage gate, you have much more detailed decks that go into your financials that go into your true revenue model, your business model, maybe your IP strategy, and a variety of other topics. The overall optics and the overall clear messaging is I'd say the two biggest things. Paul Jarley: Mike, what do you tell students? Michael Pape: The way I deal with the pitch deck is treat it as just one element of a much bigger picture.

Welcome back to The Neurodivergent Creative Podcast, the cozy, chaotic corner of the internet where we unpack creativity, shame, and the messy process of making art while living in a neurodivergent brain! In this week's episode, host Caitlin Liz Fisher takes us along to their annual writing retreat—a gathering of writers, friends, and creative misfits who have built a community rooted in kindness, curiosity, and care. Between murder mysteries, unhinged PowerPoints, and chocolate tastings, Caitlin dives deep into what it really means to write your story—even when it doesn't all make it into the final draft. What We Explore in This Episode- The difference between story and plot, and why not everything you write needs to “fit” the final version- How writing can be both emotional processing and artistic craft—and the freedom that comes from separating the two- Reflections on creative community, self-trust, and being loved without fear of punishment- Why neurodivergent writers often fear being “too much,” and how shared space can heal that- The joy of creative play: unhinged PowerPoints, ramen nights, and the art of just having fun again

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. In this blog, Yvonne reflects on the real experience of running a scientific conference—from forgotten sponsor needs to malfunctioning microphones and missing PowerPoints. With humour and honesty, she recounts the unpredictable tasks that continue long after the planning ends. Her candid insights capture the chaos, exhaustion, and eventual pride that come with pulling off a successful academic event. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-running-a-conference/ -- Dr Yvonne Couch is a Research Fellow and Associate Professor at the University of Oxford. Yvonne studies the role of extracellular vesicles and their role in changing the function of the vasculature after stroke, aiming to discover why the prevalence of dementia after stroke is three times higher than the average. It is her passion for problem solving and love of science that drives her, in advancing our knowledge of disease. Yvonne writes about her work, academic life, and careers as she takes a new road into independent research. -- Enjoy listening?

Corporate America has officially lost it — in the best way possible. Adults are trading PowerPoints for potato sacks, and trust falls for tug-of-war.

Internal communication is broken. Most CX and leadership teams rely on outdated methods — long slide decks, endless trainings, and metrics that don't drive action. In this episode, Ben Phillips, founder of CX Alive!, explains how to transform the way your business communicates. Drawing on two decades in customer experience and leadership, Ben breaks down why short-form, authentic content — like internal vodcasts and micro-videos — builds clarity, connection, and alignment faster than PowerPoints or all-hands meetings ever could. We cover:✅ How to make your CX strategy relatable and actionable✅ The biggest communication gap between leadership and frontline teams✅ How to communicate effectively with Gen Z employees✅ Why podcasts and vodcasts are the future of internal engagement✅ Why NPS and CSAT are outdated metrics — and what to measure instead If you're looking to improve employee engagement, CX performance, or team alignment, this conversation will change how you think about communication, storytelling, and measurement inside your organization. #InternalCommunication #CXLeadership #CustomerExperience #EmployeeEngagement #CXStrategy #BusinessCommunication #LeadershipDevelopment #GenZAtWork #Vodcasting #StorytellingAtWork Connect with Ben at:Cx-alive.comBen Phillips LinkedIn Key Moments: 0:00 Who is Ben Phillips and what is CX Alive!4:00 How to communicate effectively with Gen Z employees9:44 How business communication is changing12:50 How to tell better stories22:00 Why you only have 8 seconds to capture attention24:00 Why podcasts and vodcasts work so well for businesses31:00 Is NPS still relevant in 2025?34:44 What are the best metrics to track in CX?37:59 Are customer surveys still relevant?41:11 AI in CX: what's hype vs. what's real48:24 How to build a team that understands the “why”51:28 Three words that separate good content from great –Are your teams facing growing demands?

Love him or hate him, you've probably heard of Shabbos Kestenbaum —the Harvard student who made waves with his RNC speech and lawsuit against Harvard over campus antisemitism. In this episode, we go beyond the viral clip. We dig into the Jewish establishment—Hillel, Chabad, ADL, AJC, Federations—what's working, what's broken, and where donors should (and shouldn't) put their money. We also talk about why some Jewish students are drifting right politically, how to build strong Jewish identity without “anti-antisemitism” PowerPoints, and what real campus support looks like.If you care about Jewish life on campus, Israel/Zionism education, and institutional accountability, this one's for you.Timestamps0:00 Intro0:05 The RNC speech everyone saw1:14 “Tonight we fight back” — policy lines that lit up the room2:10 Why Shabbos agreed to come on: a frank look at Jewish orgs3:48 Pluralism vs. clarity: Hillel & Chabad on campus10:51 The “combating antisemitism industrial complex” critique14:25 Building strong Jews vs. anti-antisemitism trainings16:31 Are legacy orgs pivoting—or just protecting access?20:57 “Access culture,” White House invites, and speaking freely23:27 What donors should do now (and what to stop funding)31:00 Where Hillel fits when lines need drawing34:04 Leadership failures and the Claudine Gay moment37:26 Boundaries, inclusion, and campus red lines39:06 The decision to speak at the RNC41:53 Closing inviteWe coverWhy many students (even left-leaning) feel safer with a tougher federal approachThe case for funding local campus work directlyMetrics that actually show impact (beyond emails and galas)Clear red lines on campus without shutting doors to studentsIf you enjoy this convo

Recorded September 12, 2025 It's episode 1-2-3 Off the Rails, and the crew is joined by two special guests for an especially thick and robust panel for a discussion of multi-display classrooms that either delight faculty or guarantee support tickets, the eternal war over dongles, aspect ratios, and those pesky 4:3 PowerPoints that just won't die. Special guests Tino Kaltsas and BC Hatchett jump into the chaos, sharing stories about bats in classrooms, rogue lighting complaints, and makeshift pandemic-era libraries-turned-classrooms. The panel debates whether multi-display AV systems are a blessing or a curse, all while tossing good-natured jabs and commiserating over faculty whiteboard obsession. And of course, it wouldn't be an Off the Rails live show without the Weekly Rivalry segment featuring this week's unlikely face-off between Wisconsin and Vanderbilt. With their original opponents chickening out, the Badgers and Commodores go toe-to-toe in a spirited four-quarter contest of AV wits, scored with touchdowns, field goals, and a surprising number of bats.

Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 117 In this episode of CHAOSScast, Georg Link and Sean Goggins welcome guest Vicky Brasseur, author of Business Success with Open Source and Forge Your Future with Open Source. The conversation explores Vicky's early journey into open source, starting from discovering Project Gutenberg in the early '90s to using Linux for the first time, the challenges companies face when using open source software, and how organizations can better leverage it strategically. The discussion also delves into her book, Forge Your Future with Open Source, which addresses common questions about contributing to open source projects. Vicky highlights the gaps in strategic open source usage within organizations and offers insights on how companies can better utilize open source software to reduce business risks. The conversation wraps up with practical advice for making a compelling business case for open source contributions and the importance of speaking the language of decision-makers. Press download now! [00:01:05] Vicky introduces herself, shares her journey into open source, and introduces Project Gutenberg, LibriVox, and the value of community contributions to open knowledge and public domain resources. [00:06:44] Vicky shares how her first book, Forge Your Future with Open Source, helps newcomers start their contribution journey and why she wrote it to be reused across audiences. [00:10:54] There's a discussion on how open source opens career path globally, especially in underserved economics. [00:12:46] Vicky shares some advice from her book for new contributors: Don't start with Linux and find a project in an area you love (e.g., music, cars, sewing) to maintain long-term motivation. [00:15:18] Sean and Georg share their personal origin stories in open source. [00:19:23] Georg introduces Vicky's second book, Business Success with Open Source, and she discusses the premise of the book and the “Three Part Framework.” [00:26:08] Vicky argues that even Linux Foundation member companies often don't understand open source at an organizational level. [00:29:19] Vicky is available for consulting, following her layoff. She encourages listeners to reach out via her website. [00:33:55] Why do projects fail? Vicky shares failures come from poor communication and unchecked assumptions across industries, not just tech. [00:35:36] Vicky criticizes companies for chasing vanity metrics like GitHub stars and praises the CHAOSS Project but notes most companies misuse metrics or don't tie them to strategic goals. Also, “Script kiddie” is explained. [00:40:13] Vicky explains how to ethically influence execs by speaking their language, use Power Points and show cost comparisons (e.g., OpenStreetMap vs Google Maps), and she emphasizes to use “TL;DR” (Too Long; Didn't Read) friendly presentations to connect open source financial and operational outcomes. [00:44:27] There's a special discount code for everyone to use on Vicky's eBooks and audiobooks on The Pragmatic Bookshelf website and the code is VBCHAOSS *for 30% off *through Oct 2025.
