Former Gartner VP Analyst and principal at SanjMo, Sanjeev Mohan, joins me to break down the reality of AI adoption, data foundations, and why enterprises are hitting roadblocks with agents and LLMs. From comparing the current AI boom to the dot-com era to unpacking his new concept, ECL (Extract, Context, Link), Sanjeev explains why moving data around is no longer viable and why "there is no AI stack, only one stack." We also dive into capability overhang, artificial guardrails, the race to standardize semantic context, and why writing books and understanding core primitives still matter in the age of generative models

Black Friday can create record sales for Shopify brands — but it can also quietly destroy your profit.After 19 peak ecommerce seasons, Nick breaks down the biggest Black Friday mistake many brands make: focusing on revenue growth without understanding the true cost of discounting.A 20% discount might look like a simple way to increase conversions, but the impact goes much deeper. It affects your margins, your ROAS targets, your average order value, your fulfilment workload and even the long-term value of the customers you acquire.In this episode of Winning With Shopify, Nick uses real ecommerce maths to show why discounting can completely change the economics of your business — and why more sales doesn't always mean more profit.You'll learn:Why a 20% discount can reduce your profit far more than expectedThe real impact of Black Friday discounts on gross marginHow Google Ads and Meta Ads costs change the maths behind promotionsWhy your usual ROAS target may no longer work during Black FridayHow discount-acquired customers can impact long-term profitabilityBetter alternatives to heavy discountingHow to create Black Friday offers that protect margin while still driving salesThe 5-point checklist every Shopify brand should complete before discountingThe biggest Black Friday mistake?Many brands assume a 20% discount means they simply need 20% more sales to make up the difference. But discounts don't just reduce revenue — they change your entire acquisition model.Once you factor in product margins, advertising costs, fulfilment and customer lifetime value, a successful-looking Black Friday campaign can actually leave your business less profitable.Nick also shares alternative strategies including bundles, rewards, tiered offers, exclusives and value-added incentives that help brands compete during peak season without simply racing to the biggest discount.In this episode:(00:00) - Why 20% Off Can Destroy Your Profit(02:26) - The Black Friday Profit Maths(05:05) - Adding Google & Meta Ad Costs(07:02) - How Discounts Affect AOV & ROAS(10:11) - How to Protect Profit During Black Friday(12:33) - The Problem With Discount-Acquired Customers(15:12) - Better Alternatives to Heavy Discounts(18:24) - Rewards, Bundles & Tiered Offers(21:20) - 3 Principles for a Profitable Black Friday(22:24) - 5-Point Black Friday Profit ChecklistFollow Winning With Shopify for practical ecommerce growth strategies, Shopify marketing advice and expert conversations designed to help brands grow more profitably.Exclusive listener offers:Ships-A-Lot - Improve fulfilment costs and find hidden shipping margin leaks.Inventory Planner - Free seven-day inventory bootcamp.Omnisend - 30% off paid plans for three months with code WINNINGWITHOMNISEND.Yoast - 15% off Shopify and WordPress with code WWS.506 - Extended 30-day free trial on Shopify apps with code WWS.About Winning With ShopifyWinning With Shopify is a podcast for Shopify founders, ecommerce leaders and marketers, covering practical strategies for growing an online store.Spec Digital is a PPC & SEO agency helping ecommerce brands grow through performance marketing.

In this episode, Micah breaks down why principles beat price every time, and why complacency, not the other agent, is your biggest competitor.

This has been a difficult commentary to prepare. America has welcomed people of many different religions as visitors as well as citizens. But members of one religion have repeatedly attacked us and our friends and allies. Many people, even some of our own leaders, have said that these attacks are only perpetrated by extremists within this religion. But it is hard to separate the extremists from other believers. And as members of this religion become more politically active they have allied themselves with socialists that are opposed to American ideals and principles. So what are we to do with the Muslims among us?

Episode four of the Surah Al-Hujurat series by Ust. Zareef Yusuf

In this episode, Jason discusses the importance of understanding the purpose behind Lean principles and why they should never become excuses for avoiding responsibility, preparation, or hard work. He explains that concepts like respect for people, team balance, buffers, and "we don't start until we're ready to finish" are designed to help committed teams perform at a higher level, not to justify poor preparation, lack of ownership, or entitlement. What you'll learn in this episode: Why Lean principles require commitment and personal responsibility. How good systems can be misused as excuses for poor behavior. Why respecting people does not mean lowering expectations. The difference between team balance and avoiding hard work. How preparation, discipline, and ownership support a successful Lean culture. Why Lean principles are meant for teams focused on continuous improvement and delivering value. Are you using Lean to reduce effort or are you building a system that helps people do their best work and improve together?   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

Assa Gill didn't grow up dreaming about owning a machine shop. He came to Canada from a small village in Punjab, discovered CNC machining through a college course, and spent nearly nine years developing his skills on the shop floor. But the idea of building something of his own never went away. That idea became real when Assa bought his first CNC mill—before he had a building, a customer, or even a registered business. He started running jobs during evenings and weekends, gradually built a reputation, and eventually left his full-time job to focus on Rise Machine Works. Today, the shop has four CNC machines, an automated saw, its first full-time employee, and more growth on the horizon. But rapid growth came at a cost. After a year of long days and trying to handle everything himself, Assa realized that working harder wasn't going to build the company he wanted. Reading The E-Myth Revisited helped him begin documenting processes, defining roles, delegating work, and creating a business that wouldn't always depend entirely on him. In this episode, Assa shares the realities of starting with limited resources, earning customers through relationships and quick turnarounds, protecting cash flow, and building systems early. We also discuss the major opportunity that could take Rise into its next stage—and why machining ability alone isn't enough to create a sustainable machine shop.

Deborah Colombari: When Agile Principles Became a Fight With the System Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "I was trying to go against the system, but you cannot go against the system." - Deborah Colombari   Deborah Colombari's Scrum Master journey started with a sense that Agile gave her permission to work differently. After early project management work, a year in Canada exposed her to Agile, and the Scrum Master role soon "felt like a glove." But her failure story starts when a supportive leader left and a more command-driven manager arrived. Deborah pushed back hard, trying to protect the Agile practices she believed were right: dailies, burn-down and burn-up charts, transparency, and team focus. The problem was that she was fighting the manager instead of first understanding the system around him. That conflict spilled into the team and damaged morale. Looking back, Deborah says she would now sit down with the manager first, understand the goals and pressures behind the change, and look for compromise before escalating into resistance. Her key learning was pragmatic: Scrum Masters need principles, but they also need diplomacy. The work is not only helping the team inside the Agile bubble, but also translating between that bubble and the wider organization.   In this episode, we refer to ITIL, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows.   Self-reflection Question: Where are you fighting the system before you have understood the pressure it is trying to respond to?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Last time it was the WHO: customers, businesspeople, face to face.  This time it is the HOW.  @Kate Megaw, @Anu Smalley and @Ryan Smith finish the Back-to-Basics run through the 12 Agile Principles with numbers 7 through 12, asking the same question of each: what wording would keep someone in legal, marketing, or finance reading?  Working software becomes delivered value in about ninety seconds, no notes.  Sustainable development turns out to be the most ignored principle of the twelve, partly because it says development and partly because people think sustainable means 40+ hours a week.  Technical excellence loses the C-suite at the word technical, and then the three hosts split on whether design has to go too.  Simplicity and the retrospective principle survive untouched, which raises the obvious question of why the retrospective is the first event teams drop.

What matters when we talk of the 3 Principles is not the words but the depth of feeling behind the words.  Our work is the outreach of one person's heart and soul to another's, a call to their wisdom, not a subject to learn.  We are not our thoughts; our thoughts are a reflection of the level of understanding from which we are creating them.  So the Principles point those who care about mental well-being to discourage indulging in self-analysis and long discussions about what's wrong with people or what isn't working for them.  The Principles lead us away from pity or commiseration and directly into the realization that the source of change is the power to think, not the content of our thoughts.  The Principles invite us to go before thought, to the infinite capacity we all have to create thoughts and to use the feelings thoughts generate within us as our guide to whether to act on them.  Contentment, peace of mind, creativity, hopefulness -- the positive feelings that bring us ease and joy in life -- are intrinsic to us, even when we're not in touch with them.  The Principles offer assurance that we cannot lose what we already have.Support the show

I see hints and am beginning to make sense of it all.As A Birth Season comes to a close, Janell reflects on an unexpected realization: two book projects she has been developing for years—Moving Day and Modern-Day Matriarchs—are no longer simply ideas she is writing about. She is living them.In this tender transition episode, she explores what she is being invited to leave behind, what she hopes to carry forward, and how a possible move to Kansas has awakened a deeper calling to become an intentional matriarch for the generations she loves.

In today's timely conversation, Spencer Dalke and content editor Emily Tsiao explore how artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping education and why a group of thoughtful students may have sparked one of the most important discussions about AI in schools. From classroom cheating and AI-generated assignments to mental health concerns, data privacy, critical thinking, and responsible technology use, Tsiao unpacks the opportunities and risks that parents, teachers, and students are facing as AI becomes a permanent part of modern learning. Drawing on the student-created “Students First Act” and broader cultural trends, this episode offers practical guidance for families navigating AI, helping children learn responsibly, and ensuring technology remains a tool that supports education rather than replacing it.  Connect with Emily Tsiao at PluggedIn.com and on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube.  For more faith-filled, Gospel-centered content, download the Pilgrim Radio app today on Google Play and Apple, or stream at PilgrimRadio.com. 

Patrick threads together questions of Catholic identity, deep family ties, and unexpected moments from the news, moving from the evolution of the Baltimore Catechism to the nuance of Orthodox-Catholic liturgical participation and the tension of honoring parents amid religious shifts. In one breath, he sorts out canon law’s changes, in another, he walks with a teenager inching toward faith and wrestles with listeners' real-life struggles about justice and generosity in marriage. Fast-moving, raw, sometimes blunt, Patrick probes both doctrine and doubt within Church debates and cultural flashpoints, all while keeping an eye on the messier side of truth. Fr. Gustavo López (email) - According to Article 47 of the 1970 Directory for the Application of Principles and Norms on Ecumenism, a Catholic for certain reasons could attend an Orthodox Sunday liturgy and it would fulfill his or her Sunday Obligation. That article was deleted when the Directory was revised in 1993; therefore, attending an Orthodox liturgy no longer fulfills a Catholic's Sunday obligation.

Eight ways to engage every learner — recorded in 2021, and every principle still works. This was #9 in our all-time top 10 countdown, and it isn't a ten-minute episode: it's a full session of classroom principles and tools for re-engaging students. I've edited this one lightly to remove a few apps that no longer exist and to fix my numbering. But I left the AI ethics segment in on purpose. Back in 2021 — well before ChatGPT — educators were already teaching students to think about whether we should, not just whether we could. Those students got a head start, and that history is worth hearing. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why slow, steady progress ("innovate like a turtle") beats a total overhaul - How to relate before you educate — and the research behind why it works - Four ways to give students a safe channel to tell you how they're doing - How to bring students into evaluating your own teaching practices - What teaching AI ethics looked like before ChatGPT existed The story of Sue and Mrs. Scruggs is the center of this episode — a five-minute conversation with one teacher that changed the entire direction of a life.

The quality of your coffee is one of the main reasons people choose your cafe vs another. It is the baseline expectation customers have for a specialty coffee shop and today, in spite of our abundant resources and access to information and tools, we are still far from consistently meeting, let alone exceeding, those expectations.  On the show today we will cover 5 ways your cafe can make your coffee and your whole menu taste better. I do believe we have claimed victory too soon and have conflated procuring quality products with producing quality products. I hope this episode makes you think and begin to implement intentional systems and cultural norms around quality that actually delivers!    KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS!

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us got way too practical. We learned what's realistic, reasonable, and likely to work. We became responsible adults who pay the mortgage and don't launch every half-baked idea that hits us in the shower. Great. But what if being “realistic” is sometimes just fear with better branding? In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil talks with Dr. Salima Bhimani, moonshot architect, entrepreneur, former Alphabet Chief Strategist for Responsible Technology, CEO of 10x Responsible Tech, and author of Invent Now: The Next Leap in Moonshots. Salima challenges the idea that innovation, AI, emerging technology, and moonshot thinking belong exclusively to Silicon Valley geniuses with billion-dollar budgets. Instead, she argues that human ingenuity exists everywhere—and that the future gets a hell of a lot more interesting when everyday people stop being passive recipients of technology and start participating in what gets built. They explore: What a moonshot idea actually is—and why it's not just for tech billionaires Why Salima believes we're wasting enormous amounts of human genius and potential How AI and emerging technology are lowering the barriers to innovation Why humanity—not technology—is the real moonshot How to stop underestimating your own ability to create change and make an impact The importance of community and collaboration when solving complex problems Why we tend to underestimate our own impact while wildly overestimating everyone else's How purpose and creativity can emerge during messy, uncertain seasons of life Why friction, frustration, and problems may be exactly where the best ideas are hiding What Salima calls the “third space,” where human ingenuity and technology come together This isn't about convincing everyone to cure cancer, build the next Google, or become an inventor. It's about getting a little less impressed by what's “realistic” and a lot more curious about what could be possible. Thank you to our sponsors! Protect your loved ones without spying on them.

"May all that is unforgiven in youBe released.May your fears yield Their deepest tranquillities.May all that is unlived in you blossom into a futureGraced with love."John O'Donohue, To Bless the Space Between UsWhat if a season can be complete even when the story isn't?In this final episode of “A Birth Season,” we arrive at Day Five of our closing journey: BLESS. After 90 days of listening, noticing, releasing, and learning what is ours to carry forward, we make room for what remains unresolved.Together, we'll practice blessing the unfinished—honoring what has been, receiving what has been born, and trusting God with what is still becoming.Because perhaps discernment doesn't always end with an answer.Sometimes it ends with open hands, a faithful next step, and a blessing.Connect with Janell & The Heartlifter Way on SubstackWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠janellrardon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@janellrardon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@theheartlifterway⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: Heartlift WellnessRevisit ⁠⁠⁠⁠"When God Speaks in Metaphors"⁠⁠⁠⁠Revisit ⁠⁠"Unlearning with The Waiting Room"⁠⁠Download the "Principles of Discernment" PDF: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trust What is Taking Shape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the "Discernment Prayer" to use during our Birth Season: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Prayer PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"The Three Pots" ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Graphic to use during the meditative exercise.Download ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"The G.E.N.T.L.E.

What does it really take to build a successful team? In this episode of Wealth on the Beach Club, Daniel breaks down the fundamentals of building a real, scalable organization. He shares lessons from 30 years in Primerica and explains why leadership, recruiting, accountability, meeting attendance, relationships, and duplication are critical to long-term success. Daniel discusses why leaders need to lead from the front, how getting results creates momentum, why recruiting is a numbers game, and how finding and developing the right people can transform a business. He also explains the importance of mental toughness, consistent accountability, and creating a culture where people are motivated to improve and take action. Whether you're building a sales team, growing a business, developing your leadership skills, or looking to improve your recruiting strategy, this episode offers practical lessons on building a team that can grow for the long term.

We take on the third leg of the strength series with Louie Simmons, Westside Barbell, and the conjugate method. Jerred lays out the actual structure, two max effort days and two dynamic effort days a week, why the max effort movement rotates every single session instead of repeating, how the three week dynamic effort waves are built, and what accommodating resistance with bands and chains is really doing to the strength curve. Then we get into the three principles worth stealing even if you never run the program: speed increases power and power increases strength, variance is fine so long as it is constantly rotating rather than constantly random, and athleticism has to be trained or you will quietly lose it. We also cover the honest cons, the steroid question, the recovery cost of going max effort twice a week, and why Jerred rates the conjugate system a one or two out of ten for the average athlete even though he has notebooks full of respect for the man who built it. Plus the story of Accelerate Strength and Conditioning, his conjugate program written for hybrid athletes, and where that might resurface.

She points out that a stalled goal usually means a gap in knowledge or a gap in behavior, and that real progress is never a straight line upward. Her strongest takeaway is that habits, not motivation, are what carry the work forward once willpower runs out. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.leagendersfitness.com/news/you-can-achieve-your-goals-with-these-10-principles Quotes to ponder: "I realized that when we aren't achieving our goals, there is either a gap in knowledge or a gap in behavior. There's something you don't know yet or something you're not doing (or both)." "Motivation wanes, inspiration fades, and willpower is fleeting. Habits are ingrained." "Nothing worth achieving comes easy. It's the struggle that makes it that much more meaningful once accomplished."
