How do we move from reactive recruiting to predictive talent acquisition? In an era where performance metrics drive every business decision, recruitment often remains stubbornly intuition-based, especially when evaluating soft skills like empathy, communication, and critical thinking. What if AI could help us predict performance before a candidate even starts? And what happens when we connect hiring decisions to actual performance outcomes, creating a feedback loop that makes recruiters smarter over time? Can technology help us understand which risks are worth taking, and which gut feelings we should trust? My guests this week are Veronique Lacasse, Senior Manager at Bell Canada, and Stephane Rivard, Co-founder and CEO of HiringBranch. In our conversation, Veronique and Stephane walk us through Bell's integrated approach to talent acquisition, which utilizes AI assessment data on soft skills to create a predictive, performance-driven hiring system that is still very much driven by human recruiters. In the interview, we discuss: Soft skills and business performance Measuring soft skills with AI driven assessments Challenges in high-volume hiring Building a feedback loop in recruiting, onboarding, and training Showing recruiters the performance outcomes of their decisions The candidate experience Why human recruiters aren't being replaced What does the future look like? Recruiting Future helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. If you're interested in finding out how your TA function measures up in these four critical areas, I've created the free FITT for the Future Assessment. It'll give you personalised insights to help you build strategic clarity and drive greater impact immediately.

What if your infrastructure could predict demand before it happens? In this episode, Nilo Rahmani, CEO and co-founder of Thoras AI, breaks down how predictive scaling is transforming the Kubernetes landscape. With over a decade of experience in site reliability engineering, Nilo shares why the observability market is slower to adopt AI—and why that might finally be changing. If you're navigating the pressures of DevOps or building AI tools for technical teams, this conversation is a must-listen.Key TakeawaysAI adoption in reliability engineering isn't about replacing humans—it's about reducing fire drills and enabling better decision-making.Predictive scaling using ML can dramatically cut cloud costs and reduce latency—without compromising reliability.DevOps teams remain cautious with AI due to the high stakes of downtime and the need for human-in-the-loop decision-making.The best tools won't just optimize infrastructure—they'll increase engineer confidence and operational readiness.Nilo's founder journey started with a thesis and became unstoppable once she “couldn't unsee the better way.”Timestamped Highlights[01:02] What Thoras AI actually does—and how it tackles the double challenge of utilization and cost[03:12] Why reliability engineering is a high-stakes, thankless job and how AI can change that[08:54] Can AI fully handle outages at 2 a.m.? Why human-in-the-loop still matters[13:22] The low-hanging fruit: where ML delivers value fast in infrastructure planning[17:56] Increasing confidence, not replacing engineers—rethinking developer experience with AI[24:38] Nilo's founder story: from SRE to CEO, driven by a problem too obvious to ignoreQuote of the Episode“I couldn't unsee that there's a better way.

Heat is the leading weather-related cause of death in the United States. A team from the National Weather Service spent more than a decade, mostly on their own time, to develop a tool that could link weather data about heat with heat-related injury data to predict heat risk. When that tool went nation-wide, it transformed emergency management, public health, and education. It also earned this team a 2025 Service to America Medal. Here to tell us more about this life-saving technology are Michael Staudenmaier, Chad Kahler, and Mark Loeffelbein of the National Weather Service.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode of Breaking Math, Autumn explores the complex world of AI ethics, focusing on its implications in education, the accuracy of AI systems, the biases inherent in algorithms, and the challenges of data privacy. The discussion emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations in mathematics and computer science, advocating for transparency and accountability in AI systems. Autumn also highlights the role of mathematicians in addressing these ethical dilemmas and the need for society to engage critically with AI technologies.Takeaways AI systems can misinterpret student behavior, leading to false accusations. Bias in AI reflects historical prejudices encoded in data. Predictive analytics can help identify at-risk students but may alter their outcomes. Anonymization of data is often ineffective in protecting privacy. Differential privacy offers a way to share data while safeguarding individual identities. Ethics should be a core component of algorithm design. The impact of biased algorithms can accumulate over time. Mathematicians must understand both technical and human aspects of AI. Society must question the values embedded in AI systems. Small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes.Chapters 00:00 Introduction to AI Ethics 02:14 The Accuracy and Implications of AI in Education 04:14 Bias in AI and Its Consequences 05:45 Data Privacy Challenges in AI 06:37 Mathematical Solutions for Ethical AI 08:04 The Role of Mathematicians in AI Ethics 09:42 The Future of AI and Ethical ConsiderationsSubscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Become a patron of Breaking Math for as little as a buck a monthFollow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

The Net Promoter System Podcast – Customer Experience Insights from Loyalty Leaders
Episode 251: In 2018, Dell set out to do something big: turn customer feedback into a system that could not only provide insights, but help set priorities and run the business. They had the data. They had the intent. But they made a compromise that many organizations settle on: Rather than enforce one unified approach to customer feedback, they allowed each team to build its own. While this helped with initial adoption and change management, it also led to fragmentation—multiple tools, different methods, no shared truth. And it got worse over time. Real progress ultimately would require centralizing what had become scattered. When Dell's Marc Stein appeared on this podcast in 2018 (episode 129), the company had just completed its EMC merger and launched a chief customer office. The ambition: one integrated Net Promoter System to tie sentiment to economics and put the customer at the center of every decision. But good intentions ran into a harsh reality: Every function was listening to customers, but no one was hearing the same thing. In this episode, Mike Valanzola, Dell's Senior Director of Voice of Customer and NPS Operations, picks up the story. He explains how misaligned tools, siloed ownership, and governance gaps made customer feedback hard to act on. His team didn't want to tear down what existed. Instead, they brought it together. Through consolidation, centralization, shared standards, and stronger governance, they transformed scattered signals into an enterprise-wide system of action. The turning point came with the Customer Experience Roadmap and Accreditation. The CXRA gave Dell a framework to drive internal accountability and rebuild trust in the system. As Mike describes, cross-functional teams now meet weekly to act on shared signals. Tomorrow's goal? Make every employee a promoter and make every signal actionable.

Each and every one of those folks has some things that are important for us to hear.” [8:00] ”We do—and did—as a company, listen regularly, but we didn't always hear. The reason for that came down to every function across the company, ultimately doing their own listening programs, using their own application, governing how they listened, controlling what they got back, and not sharing it.” [18:00] ”We had been really in a run-the-business function, really focused on NPS management, really focused on owning that measurement for the company. And now, I was proposing a large-scale, end-to-end corporate transformation that was going to require my own team to think about how we operate, and effectively operate differently.” [28:00] Additional Resources Hear our 2018 podcast with Marc Stein on Dell's original CX ambition, Bringing Net Promoter to Scale Learn more about Bain's MyCX Roadmap & Accreditation

When Silicon Valley and the CCP Start Speaking the Same LanguageLet's get real: the world's two most powerful nations are building surveillance societies. The United States, under a new breed of techno-ideologues, is quietly constructing a digital control system that mirrors—sometimes eerily—the one perfected by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Pull back the curtain and you see the same machinery: data, algorithms, and the relentless drive to know, score, and shape every citizen. The difference? Only in branding and the stories we tell ourselves.Peter Thiel: Architect of America's Surveil-and-PunishTo understand this convergence, look at Peter Thiel—billionaire investor, PayPal co-founder, and intellectual godfather of the New Right. Thiel isn't just a financier; he's a philosopher-king for this era. His books, speeches, and investments have seeded a generation of politicians and policy architects who share his skepticism of democracy, faith in hierarchy, and obsession with managing human desire.Thiel's fingerprints are everywhere: from his early Trump support to his funding of “anti-woke” candidates and investments in the backbone of the American surveillance state. He bridges Silicon Valley's monopolists and the populist Right—a connector of memes, money, and power.Surveillance: The Water We Swim InWhat we once imagined was only the CCP's playbook is now American standard. The same tech used to track Chinese dissidents now monitors gig workers, protestors, immigrants, and minorities. Since 2016, US surveillance has expanded dramatically—not just at borders but in cities and online. Trump's executive orders empowered DHS to scrape any “publicly available information”—tweets, Facebook posts, even private messages. The chilling effect was immediate: people self-censored, deleted posts, and warned each other that “anything you say can be used against you.”The Memetic Engineering ComplexSocial media doesn't just sell ads—it sells influence. Its algorithms maximize engagement by amplifying outrage, envy, and tribalism. Since 2016, these platforms have become tools for both state and mob enforcement of ideological conformity. Predictive policing powered by social media data has monitored protests and flagged “agitators”—an approach straight from the CCP's dissent-control manual.State-Corporate FusionIn China, tech companies must share everything with the state. In the US, the state contracts it out, but the effect is similar: a seamless flow of data from your phone to power. The “public-private partnership” is the new Leviathan—and it's bipartisan. Thiel's investments in Palantir and Facebook are the logical extension of his belief in hierarchy and the management of desire. Trump's circle sees these tools as the way to restore “order” and “greatness,” even while railing against “big tech.”Targeting the OutsidersThe CCP's surveillance of Uyghurs is notorious. In the US, ICE used social media monitoring to build deportation cases—even for US citizens with immigrant ties. The logic is the same: identify, isolate, neutralize. Only the branding differs.Harmony vs. OrderThe CCP talks about “harmony” and “national rejuvenation.” Trump and the New Right talk about “order” and “greatness.” Both are code for control—managing risk and channeling the violence of mimetic desire away from power. Thiel's skepticism of democracy mirrors the CCP's distrust of pluralism. Both see the crowd as dangerous, the individual as a threat.Denial and CamouflageThe CCP is honest about its authoritarianism. The US cloaks it in “law & order” and “border security”—but the surveillance engine hums the same tune.No Place to HideIn the end, the line between “free” and “unfree” blurs. The only real question is who pulls the levers—and whether we can imagine a world where data empowers rather than imprisons.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron delves into the concept of neuroplastic symptoms, emphasizing the significant role fear plays in chronic symptoms. She explains how fear can manifest in various forms and how it can perpetuate a cycle of symptoms. The discussion covers the importance of understanding the symptom-fear cycle, breaking the fear loop, and reconditioning the brain to respond differently to symptoms. Ali also introduces the concept of somatic tracking as a tool for healing and encourages listeners to approach their symptoms with curiosity and gentleness. Takeaways Many chronic symptoms may stem from brain patterns rather than physical damage. Fear can manifest in various forms, affecting our health. Changing our response to symptoms can help alleviate them. The symptom-fear cycle can create a feedback loop of anxiety and symptoms. Self-compassion and reducing pressure are crucial for healing. Predictive coding can lead to anticipating symptoms based on fear. It's essential to break the fear loop to regain control over symptoms. Reconditioning the brain involves teaching it that sensations are safe. Avoiding triggers can reinforce fear; exposure is necessary for healing. Somatic tracking is a powerful tool for changing the brain's relationship to symptoms.

Today we’re diving into something I talk about often but realise not everyone has heard before: the big "A" word—algorithm. This topic takes us full circle because the very first episode I recorded, nearly five years ago, was all about why your social media content might not be working—and yes, the algorithm was front and center. A lot has changed since then. The algorithm moves fast—it's shifted over the last 12 months, even over the last few weeks. So today, I want to not only break down what’s changed, but also focus on what’s actually working right now—and just as importantly, what you should avoid.

Over the years we have discussed the selective and predictive programming in music, movies, television, etc., in regard to everything from UFOs to human trafficking and child abuse. The movie Independence Day, released July 3, 1996, seemed to predict the appearance of a city-sized UFO, which manifested in Phoenix as the infamous ‘Phoenix Lights' on March 13, 1997. The movie Nope seemed to predict the shooting down of objects over Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron, one of which had “strings hanging off” of it like in the movie UFO. Movies like Spotlight and the Sound of Freedom show us the underbelly of sexual abuse and trafficking. During the pandemic the top movies were Contagion, 28 Days Later, and 12 Monkeys. A 2022 Netflix film called White Noise, about a train carrying toxic chemicals derailing in a small Ohio town, was brought to life when on February 3, 2023, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in the same town, East Palestine, Ohio, which was used for filming the movie crash. M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin did something similar with plane crashes and earthquakes. In fact, the movie was released on the day of the Ohio train wreck, February 3rd. The next day a FedEx cargo plane almost landed on a commercial Southwest flight. A week later an American Airlines flight ran into a bus on the taxiway. A few days later a report came out about a United Airlines flight that fell 1,400ft out of the sky after take off from Hawaii. Long after the movie was shot, but before release, two other planes almost collided at JFK and before that the NOTAM system went down grounding flights nationwide. In the middle of all this, three days after the movie release, a massive 7.8 earthquake rocked Turkey and opened up an enormous chasm in the earth. The movie ends with fire beginning to engulf the earth, a prelude to the upcoming movie Oppenheimer. These are themes also in the upcoming Dune 2 and Fallout tv adaption. The new Wes Anderson movie Asteroid City is now setting the stage, literally, for an excepted flop and expected hit, i.e. the Barbie movie and Oppenheimer, both set to be released on July 21, 2023. Asteroid City is really a movie about a play, wherein the actors and audience move in-between sets, between what is real and what is staged. In Asteroid City there are quarantines, aliens, doorways between worlds, and in the background atomic bombs, disassociate from reality. In the Barbie movie promos the character stands within a mirror. The backdrops and sets are also similar, even in the pastel-like colors, to the Barbie movie, which is obviously about Barbie Land and how dolls with no human essence journey into the world of humans. In one scene there are two X's stacked on top of each other, perhaps signifying the XX chromosomes of women, of which Barbie does not have. She is plastic, a doll, and not real. The point is that in a fake world the only thing that matters is the mask and outward appearance, and thus one can be a man or woman by choice. Also, in the Barbie movie there is supposedly a map showing China's claimed territory of Vietnam which prompted that country to ban the movie. How interesting is it then that Barbie is provoking fears of atomic war and its release date is on the same day as Oppenheimer, which is about the atomic bomb. A similar thing happened in Christopher Nolan's movie Dark Knight Rises, released July 20, 2012, when one of the strike zones in the city was listed on a map as Sandy Hook - like the shooting on December 14, 2012. Interestingly, July 20 was also the Aurora, Colorado, shooting which took place during a screening of Nolan's new Batman movie. The release of these two movies on the same day contrasts the fake world of PINK with the real world of BLACK, themes that can be found all throughout pop-culture, from the Powerpuff Girls in the 1990s, which features black goo and three homunculi, one of which is pink, to recent hit songs like Pink Venom, from the band BLACKPINK, which features black apples, black goo, broken mirrors signifying split personalities, along religious and mythic imagery. One line is “the fire that'll slowly put you to sleep.” A year prior to Pink Venom an article from Reuters out of Japan stated the following of Moderna shots: “Black substances were spotted in syringes and a vial, with pink substances found in another syringe, the health ministry said.”The innocence and purity of pink mixed with mysterious chemicals, massive explosions, etc., create mutations that turn us into something not human – something barbaric or mutated by radiation. That's what media and movies do, be it through coincidence, predictive programming, movie magic, or retro causality. The question is do you prefer the womblike matrix of Barbie or the real world of Oppenheimer that is about to be engulfed in flames? Will you take the high heel or Birkenstock, the blue pill or the red? Will you be human or turn over the codes to Zion for a steak and glass of wine?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
