Episode Summary Trust is the foundation of every customer relationship. But here's the uncomfortable truth: most businesses assume they have it when they don't. PwC's latest research found that 90% of executives believe their customers trust them highly — yet only 30% of customers actually do. That's a 60-point gap. And it's growing. In this episode, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton from Emory University break down the five rules that are guaranteed to build genuine, lasting trust with your customers. These aren't theoretical — they're drawn from decades of real CX work, rooted in behavioural economics, and illustrated with the kinds of real-world examples that make you realise how often companies (and people) get this wrong. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why trust is earned, not given — and why that changes everything about how you approach customer relationships The authenticity trap: why trying to appear authentic is worse than not trying at all Why you should always tell customers the bad news early — and why hiding it always costs you more in the end The Fiverr story: how a supplier destroyed trust before they'd even started the job Why consistency and reliability are not soft values — they're heuristic signals that your customers use to judge whether they can trust you for the things that really matter How the "emotional bank account" works — and why you need to be in credit before something goes wrong Quote of the Episode: "The danger is people will be too strategic about authenticity. The point is not to act like you're authentic. The point is actually to be authentic." — Professor Ryan Hamilton, Emory University Resources Mentioned: Connect with Colin Shaw on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinrjshaw/ Connect with Professor Ryan Hamilton on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prof-ryan-hamilton/ Beyond Philosophy website: https://beyondphilosophy.com PwC Trust in Business Survey: https://www.pwc.com/us/en/library/trust-in-business-survey.html About the Hosts:  Colin Shaw is a LinkedIn 'Top Voice' with a massive 286,000 followers and 87,000 subscribers to his 'Why Customers Buy' newsletter.

What happens when your next customer is represented by an AI agent that can research products, compare prices, evaluate suppliers, negotiate terms, and make purchasing decisions? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Ian Kahn, Partner and Customer and Commercial Excellence Platform Leader at PwC, about the rise of the Intelligent Customer Edge and why companies need to rethink how they sell, market, price, serve customers, and compete as artificial intelligence changes the buying process. Much of the enterprise AI conversation has focused on helping employees become more productive. Ian argues that this overlooks a much bigger change already taking place. Customers are using AI to research products, compare alternatives, evaluate pricing, and make decisions. In some consumer and business markets, AI agents are already being given permission to make routine purchases. Companies are no longer selling only to people. They increasingly need to serve customers whose AI agents expect accurate product information, transparent pricing, availability, service history, and performance data that can be discovered, verified, and understood by machines. This creates a serious problem for companies operating with fragmented front offices. Marketing, sales, pricing, commerce, and customer service have traditionally operated as separate functions, each with its own technology, data, processes, incentives, and performance measures. Customers do not experience companies through those internal structures. They expect consistent information and relevant experiences across the entire relationship. Ian explains why adding AI to each department independently will not solve this problem. Companies risk making existing processes faster without improving the customer experience or business performance. Instead, he argues that leaders need to reconsider the operating model behind the entire customer journey. The Intelligent Customer Edge is PwC's approach to bringing these commercial functions together into a connected system centered on the customer. Powered by proprietary company data and AI, the system can continuously learn from customer interactions, support real-time decisions, and help companies respond to changing customer needs. We also discuss the idea of the commercial brain and why proprietary data could become one of the most valuable competitive advantages available to companies adopting AI. Most businesses already possess customer records, transaction histories, operational information, market signals, service interactions, and other data their competitors cannot access. Yet much of that information remains fragmented across systems and departments. Ian explains how connecting these sources can create an intelligence layer that informs pricing decisions, marketing activity, sales opportunities, service interactions, and the moments that matter throughout the customer relationship. For CEOs, chief customer officers, marketing leaders, sales executives, CIOs, and technology teams, the conversation offers an important lesson about AI transformation. The companies achieving meaningful results are not starting with the technology. They begin with customer outcomes and redesign the work, decisions, workflows, and operating models required to achieve them. Human judgment remains an important part of that model. AI can process large amounts of information, identify patterns, provide recommendations, and handle routine tasks consistently. People continue to bring judgment, creativity, empathy, relationship-building, and strategic decision-making to customer interactions where trust and context matter. Ian argues that the goal is not to choose between people and AI. Companies need to design customer systems that use the strengths of both, determining where automation can improve speed and consistency and where people can create greater customer and commercial value. Trust, governance, explainability, and accountability also become more important as AI agents are given greater authority. Rather than treating guardrails as barriers to adoption, Ian explains why companies should design controls into AI-enabled customer processes from the beginning. The conversation also examines the cost of waiting. Customers are already adopting AI, and businesses that continue relying on fragmented front-office operations risk falling behind competitors capable of responding faster, providing better information, and creating more relevant customer experiences. Ian offers practical advice for companies deciding where to begin. Start with the customer journey. Understand how customer behavior is changing, identify where friction exists, determine how AI could improve the experience, and establish clear measures for customer outcomes and business value before investing heavily in new technology. For business and technology leaders under pressure to deliver growth, improve margins, control costs, and demonstrate returns from AI investment, this conversation provides a practical framework for redesigning the front office, using proprietary data more effectively, preparing for AI agents as buyers, and creating better customer experiences. Your customers are already using AI. Some AI agents are already making purchasing decisions. The question for companies is whether their customer systems, data, commercial models, and operating structures are ready to compete for business when the buyer on the other side of the transaction is no longer always human.

We'll walk you through the three pillars of a thriving specialized cannabis CFO practice, and show you exactly how DOPE CFO gets you serving cannabis operators at the highest level, faster.---In this video, Andrew Hunzicker, CPA and founder of DOPE CFO, breaks down the strategic shift that separates a bookkeeper or generalist accountant from a specialized fractional CFO commanding premium retainers. You'll learn why bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and audit are racing toward zero under AI, and how to reposition your accounting practice around forward-looking value work like tax planning, cash flow forecasting, strategic advisory, and CFO-level services. Andrew walks through the path from generalist bookkeeper to specialized cannabis CFO, the five-part playbook for building a six-figure advisory firm with three to five high-paying clients, and how the recent federal cannabis rescheduling to Schedule III opens the biggest window for accountants in decades.Andrew has trained thousands of accountants over the last eight years, both through DOPE CFO and at national firms. He helps plan and lead the AICPA Cannabis Conference every year and started his career at a Big Four firm.Andrew covers:- Why bookkeeping, tax prep, payroll, and audit are all racing to zero (PwC says end-to-end AI audit by the end of this year)- The exact split between cost work and value work, and why clients happily pay premium fees for the second- Why tax planning is easier than tax prep, and puts real money back in a client's pocket- The "number two to the CEO" positioning that AICPA finally co-opted, and how it changes what you charge- The 15th-to-18th monthly cadence Andrew runs for every client, and what fills the second half of the month- The five-part path from generalist to specialist, and why cannabis and hemp check every box right nowThis is what a real specialized CFO practice looks like when the pricing model actually reflects the value delivered.

Vanessa Monsequeira spent years leading change initiatives and helping organizations roll out new systems. Again and again, she saw that the hardest part wasn't convincing people to change, it was that the work itself had never been intentionally designed.

Májusban új történelmi csúcsra emelkedett a Magyar Nemzeti Bank devizatartalékának összege, amely az év végére várhatóan még tovább nőhet. Miért fontos mindez, hogyan függ össze a folyamat az euró várható bevezetésével és tényleg kell-e ekkora tartalék? A témáról a Portfolio elemzőjét, Beke Károlyt kérdeztük.A műsor második részében a Pwc friss jelentése került terítékre, amely arra a következtetésre jut, hogy a mesterséges intelligencia kettéosztja a globális munkaerőpiacot.

As America marks 250 years of existence, it is worth pausing to ask a question that most people avoid: what is actually true about this country versus what we have been conditioned to believe? The noise coming from cable news, social media algorithms, and political fundraising machines has created a version of America that feels perpetually on the brink of collapse. But the data tells a radically different story. America 250 is not a eulogy. It is a celebration grounded in economic history, human ambition, and the rare national DNA that makes this country unlike any other on earth. The story of America 250 is not just about survival. It is about a country that has repeatedly invented entirely new categories of value from nothing, attracting dreamers from every corner of the globe who recognize something that many native-born Americans take for granted. Understanding what America actually is, rather than what the anger merchants want you to believe, is the starting point for seeing where it is going next. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Anger Industrial Complex Is Manipulating You The most important thing to understand about the current state of American political culture is that the division you feel is largely manufactured. Politicians, legacy media, and social media algorithms have built extraordinarily profitable business models on your outrage. Fundraising emails do not celebrate progress or bipartisan cooperation. They warn you that the other side is coming for everything you love. Cable news stopped booking reasonable people because screaming is more watchable. Then social media arrived with algorithms engineered to identify with inhuman precision exactly what makes you angry, and serve you more of it every hour. Here is what those category leaders of manufactured rage never want you to know. On guns, taxes, immigration, abortion, equal rights, policing, gay marriage, the national debt, and entrepreneurship, Americans mostly agree. 91% of Americans believe anyone regardless of race deserves an equal opportunity to succeed. 94% approve of interracial marriage, up from just 4% in 1958. 81% of Americans support universal background checks, including 80% of Republicans. 94% believe every citizen deserves a fair shot to start and grow a business. These numbers cut cleanly across party lines and receive zero coverage because agreement does not generate revenue. The pattern is consistent and deliberate. Every time Americans broadly agree on something, the machine finds the 5 to 15% on either extreme of the bell curve who do not, puts them on television, feeds them into the algorithm, and collects revenue by monetizing anger manufactured from nearly nothing. A citizen who stops being angry is a bad customer, and that is precisely why the machine never stops running.   America Is a Catapult, Not a Club What makes America 250 worth celebrating is not just its age. It is its architecture. In Gallup surveys conducted across 150 countries since 2007, one question has been asked consistently: if you could move anywhere on earth, where would you go? Every single year, 170 million people choose the United States. The runner-up draws half that number. China has four times America’s population and a foreign-born population of just 0.1%. The United States sits at 15%. People do not want to move to America because it is the best. They want to move here because it is different. Nearly every other country on earth functions like a club, one you are born into or spend a lifetime trying to enter. America was purpose-built as a catapult for people driven by dreams, pirates, innovators, and those desperate enough to bet everything on a different future. The founder of SoftBank, one of the wealthiest people in Japan, was born ethnically Korean and was bullied to the point of contemplating suicide, denied credit in Japanese business specifically because of his ethnicity. That story plays out differently in America, where meritocracy at its best does not ask where you came from or what school you attended. Two families, two wars, two bets on a different future in the same country capture this perfectly. One grandfather left Scotland after World War Two for a rubber factory job in Montreal. One father left Korea to become a janitor and a limo driver in Hawaii. Neither came for comfort. Both came for the removal of limits on what their children could become. America 250 is the story of those bets paying off across generations.   The Jevons Paradox and the Next 250 Years In 1865, British economist William Stanley Jevons noticed something counterintuitive. As steam engines became more efficient and required less coal to do the same work, experts predicted coal consumption would fall. Instead, it exploded. Greater efficiency lowered the cost of power, which expanded adoption, which created entirely new categories of economic activity that had not existed before. Jevons called it a paradox, and it is the single best framework for understanding America’s economic history. From a GDP of roughly 193 million in 1790 to over 30 trillion today, America did not simply get better at existing industries. It invented the railroad, then electricity, then the automobile, then the computer, then the internet. Each one was a new category. Each one created massive value from nothing. The internet alone generated approximately 16 trillion in new global economic value over 30 years, more than half of total world GDP in 1995, built entirely from scratch by entrepreneurs. Before the internet, no one needed a web engineer, a search algorithm, or a social media manager. New categories create new categories. AI is now the next expression of the Jevons paradox at a civilizational scale. Goldman Sachs projects AI will raise global GDP by 7% over the next ten years. PwC projects AI could contribute 15.7 trillion by 2030 alone, nearly matching the internet’s entire 30-year impact in under a decade. If AI creates twice the proportional value the internet did, that is 110 trillion in new economic value built on top of the existing world economy. America 250 is not the end of a story. It is the opening chapter of the most consequential economic category in human history, and America is positioned at its center.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explain why Microsoft's newest AI initiative could reshape enterprise engineering and customer success. Highlights 00:09 — Some huge news from Microsoft today. The company has launched Microsoft Frontier Company, a brand-new business that's entirely focused on helping customers achieve frontier transformation with AI. 00:28 — Now, Microsoft, despite not coining the term [Frontier Firm] itself, has been using it extensively to really outline its strategy in terms of how it sees its AI tools transforming companies, essentially enabling them to become frontier firms. This Frontier Company, to me, feels like the culmination of all that forethought and clarity around Microsoft's enterprise AI mission. 00:56 — Microsoft is investing $2.5 billion into the initiative, which will see 6,000 industry specialists and AI engineers embedded into customer organizations to help them co-design, deploy, and continuously improve AI systems. You can think about it as forward-deployed engineering, but on a much broader scale. 01:19 — Judson Althoff, CEO of Microsoft Commercial Business, calls it the "largest, most capable, outcome-driven engineering organization in the industry." Ultimately, Althoff explained the aim of Microsoft Frontier Company is to focus on end-to-end frontier transformation and enable customers to "amplify their IQ with AI while refining their differentiated value in the markets that they serve." 01:51 — Microsoft has said it will be working closely with its partner ecosystem, particularly with partners including Accenture, Capgemini, EY, KPMG, and PwC, to scale the company, extend its capabilities to organizations across many sectors globally. It's an incredibly interesting and strategic move from Microsoft, and one that I'll be following up with a deeper analysis in a written article publishing shortly. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Il a donné plus de 426 000 £ pour aider des gens à lancer leur entreprise et sa vidéo YouTube de deux heures sur la construction d'une marque a été vue 17 millions de fois.Pour Simon, le système éducatif est devenu obsolète le jour où Google est né donc il ne cherche pas à le changer, mais à construire une alternative.Dans cet épisode, Simon explique :Pourquoi TikTok a rendu les diplômes de marketing inutilesComment réveiller son cerveau d'entrepreneurPourquoi il a abandonné la politique pour changer le système éducatifComment trouver son rêve quand on est trop occupé à survivre pour y penserUn épisode pour tous ceux qui se sont déjà figés quand quelqu'un leur a demandé ce qu'ils voulaient vraiment.Vous pouvez suivre Simon sur Instagram et TikTok.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : La promesse des emplois qui n'existent pas00:13:21 : TikTok rend les diplômes de marketing inutiles00:19:28 : L'école vous prépare à l'échec dans le monde réel00:26:30 : Le muscle que l'école passe 10 ans à détruire00:36:46 : L'addiction au salaire ne construit pas un patrimoine00:48:45 : Offrir des formations à 10 millions01:00:52 : On ne peut pas rêver quand on fuit01:10:07 : Son meilleur échec à un million de dollars01:16:44 : L'argent ne change jamais ce que vous ressentez déjà01:23:06 : Personne ne s'est fait tout seul01:30:17 : Le mensonge du Brexit01:38:53 : La plupart des gens n'ont pas besoin d'argent01:45:49 : Seuls les rêves achètent la loyauté01:54:22 : Créer une entreprise pour réserver des hôtels avant InternetLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #527 - Céline Chung - Bao Family - La reine de la street food asiatique#525 - Joseph Lasserre - Groupe Doumer - Racheter des entreprises dont personne ne veut#507 - Laurent Alexandre - Vers la fin des études supérieures ?#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again#487 - VF - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business et IA : rien ne sera jamais plus comme avant#327 - Laurent Alexandre - Auteur - ChatGPT & IA : "Dans 6 mois, il sera trop tard pour s'y intéresser"#165 - Laurent Alexandre - Doctissimo - La nécessité d'affirmer ses idéesNous avons parlé de :Université HarvardYC transforme des bâtisseurs en fondateurs redoutablesAnthropic AcademyLe biais du survivant30 ans de savoir entrepreneurial en 2h26Les jumelles MakaLes recommandations de lecture :What's Your Dream?, by Simon Squibb

Despite the space sector seeing greater investment and attention year-over-year, the sector still remains bound by an outdated and ineffective supply chain, especially in the United States.

LIVE from Beyond 26 by Pax8 in Salt Lake City, Utah, this special edition explores a powerful reality shaping the future of the technology channel: growth happens when strong leadership, thriving communities, and strategic business transformation converge. Reed Goddard, M&A Advisor with Evergreen Services Group and Nancy Hammervik, Chief Channel Officer of the Global Technology Industry Association (GTIA), join us to examine two critical forces driving the industry forward. Reed provides an insider's perspective on MSP mergers and acquisitions, discussing valuation drivers, industry consolidation, and how business owners can build lasting enterprise value. Nancy shares her vision for strengthening the global technology ecosystem through community, leadership cultivation, and establishing industry standards. Together, these discussions reveal that whether you're scaling through acquisition, building a technology community, or preparing the next generation of leaders, success ultimately depends on people, trust, relationships, and a commitment to continuous growth. Highlights: Leadership journeys matter — Reed shares his path from PwC to Evergreen Services Group, while Nancy reflects on her journey including discovering technology during her time at the University of Delaware. MSP consolidation continues to accelerate as recurring revenue, cybersecurity demand, cloud services, and emerging AI opportunities make managed service providers attractive acquisition targets.   Building enterprise value starts with fundamentals; MSP owners should focus on operational excellence, customer proximity, understanding client needs, and creating scalable growth strategies. "Tech is a people job." Nancy emphasizes that despite rapid technological change, relationships, collaboration, and leadership remain the industry's greatest competitive advantages. Community remains a critical differentiator in the AI era. GTIA continues to help technology professionals connect, learn best practices, and accelerate growth through global collaboration. Industry standards and professionalism continue to evolve, with GTIA collaborating alongside organizations such as Pax8 and Texas A&M to help advance best practices across the technology services industry.   Upcoming Evergreen Elevate events in London and Melbourne.   Whether you're an MSP owner evaluating growth options, a channel leader building partnerships, or a technology professional preparing for what's next, this episode delivers valuable insights on leadership, transformation, and the future of the global IT channel.

June 17, 2026: Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos models were pulled after a government directive raised concerns about jailbreak risks, creating a wake-up call for companies building critical workflows on frontier AI models they don't actually control. Then I get into Meta's AI transformation struggles, including layoffs, employee reassignments, low morale, surveillance concerns, and what leaders can learn from one of the most visible AI change-management failures so far. Finally, I break down PwC's 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer, which shows that AI isn't collapsing the labor market but splitting it into two tracks: roles where AI increases the value of human judgment, and roles where AI makes work easier for non-experts to perform.
