Dominic Gannaway joins us to talk about Ripple.js, a new TypeScript-first UI framework built with its own templating language and a focus on clarity and reactivity. We explore how Ripple.js handles fine-grained updates through its track and block system, why it avoids global state, and how context plays a key role. Dominic also walks us through the developer experience, from the language server and VS Code integration to syntax highlighting and the Prettier plugin, plus how the framework handles error boundaries, server-side rendering, future plans, and more.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Jason Nies, proprietor of the renowned Inn at Honey Run, and LaVern Hershberger, Vice President of Homestead Furniture. This week's show takes us to the heart of Ohio's Amish country, where we dive into a truly unique partnership: The Inn at Honey Run's iconic Club Level Honeycombs—rooms built into the hillside—are set for a major redesign with Homestead Furniture leading the transformation. Jason and LaVern share the story of how their professional paths crossed through local tourism efforts, their shared mission to honor the area's heritage while staying relevant, and how their businesses are making an impact far beyond their own walls by referring guests to one another. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why both companies are focused on staying relevant to new generations of customers while remaining true to their roots and values What makes Homestead Furniture stand out in the Amish furniture industry How the redesign of the Inn at Honey Run's Club Level Honeycomb rooms will offer guests twelve distinct themed experiences to appeal to diverse visitor preferences Why community collaboration and participating in local tourism committees have been a catalyst for business innovation and personal connection in Holmes County How tourism and destination marketing directly impact both the resort and furniture business, creating a full-circle relationship where each refers customers to the other and enhances the local economy LaVern and Jason's advice on making partnerships work, including the importance of aligned values and trust in each other's expertise Staying Relevant in a Changing Landscape Both the Inn at Honey Run and Homestead Furniture have deep roots in their community—Jason as the inn's third owner and LaVern as part of Homestead's third generation. But remaining core to your brand while evolving to meet modern tastes is a challenge. By integrating contemporary designs and offering full customization, Homestead ensures their craftsmanship appeals to both long-standing customers and a new, design-savvy generation. Jason describes The Inn at Honey Run as “not an Amish country experience” in the traditional sense, but rather “an affordable luxury getaway” located in natural beauty, complete with unique hillside Honeycomb rooms, an award-winning restaurant, and an open-air art museum. By continuously refining the inn's offerings, Jason is setting a new standard for rural luxury and authenticity. A Vision for Diverse, Immersive Stays At the heart of this collaboration is the Honeycomb Homecoming project, a complete reimagining of The Inn at Honey Run's signature Honeycombs—earth-sheltered suites built into a hillside and renowned for privacy and natural immersion. What makes this project groundbreaking is its approach to guest experience. Each of the 12 Honeycomb rooms will be uniquely themed, offering distinctive moods, decor, and even scents to transform the atmosphere. Thanks to the partnership with Homestead, guests will soon be able to choose their ideal ambiance, whether rustic, coastal, mid-century, or traditional, along with the highest level of Amish craftsmanship. Creating a Destination, Not Just a Stay The connection between The Inn at Honey Run and Homestead Furniture extends beyond their immediate partnership. Both Jason and LaVern are actively involved in local tourism development, serving on the chamber's tourism committee to promote Holmes County while preserving authentic Amish culture. Their partnership reinforces Holmes County's status as a top tourist destination in Ohio, attracting visitors eager to escape city life and immerse themselves in natural beauty. The collaboration is full circle; visitors drawn by Homestead's reputation for quality design are guided to stay at the inn, while hotel guests experience Homestead's work firsthand, perhaps inspiring a furniture investment of their own.

As physicians, most of us start out following a traditional path: find a job posting, talk to recruiters, and take whatever positions are available in the places we want to live. But what if we thought differently about our careers? What if we created work arrangements that actually fit our lives, values, and goals?In this episode of The Grow Your Wealthy Mindset, I share my own story of exploring non-traditional work arrangements — from going part-time, to traveling for work, to negotiating directly with practices rather than relying solely on locum agencies. I'll take you behind the scenes of what it's like to create a flexible career, the trade-offs involved, and the lessons I've learned along the way. You'll hear:·       Why networking and reaching out can open doors to opportunities that don't show up on job boards.·       The differences between working through a locums agency and contracting directly with a practice.·       What it's really like to travel for work, and the perks and challenges that come with it.·       Why every physician should have an emergency fund, even in high-demand specialties.·       How multiple streams of income can give you security when your job situation changes unexpectedly. Whether or not traveling for work appeals to you, this episode will help you expand your perspective on what's possible in medicine and encourage you to think creatively about designing your own work life.Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.

MIT just dropped a bomb: 95% of corporate AI initiatives are failing. Not struggling. Failing. And Sandy Carter knows exactly why. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, I sit down with Sandy, currently Chief Business Officer at Unstoppable Domains, former VP at Amazon Web Services, and the person who turned IBM's "social business" concept nobody understood into a $200 billion market. Sandy's written seven books, been named to every power list that matters (CNN's Top 10 Most Powerful Women in Tech, Forbes 50 Over 50), but what caught my attention is her philosophy: "AI First, Human Always." While everyone's either selling AI snake oil or running scared, Sandy's figured out something crucial. Companies aren't failing at AI because the technology doesn't work. They're failing because they're treating it like any other IT rollout: layer it on top of broken processes and hope for magic. Sandy shares why CEOs need to stop brainstorming and start "playstorming," what happens when you ignore Reddit for three years, and why your daughter talking to Grok about party outfits might be the most important trend in communications. Listen in and hear about: The real reason 95% of corporate AI fails (hint: it's not the technology) Moving beyond productivity theater to genuine transformation Why GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) changes everything for communicators The "play storm" revolution and why your CEO needs to get their hands dirty How ignoring Reddit and Wikipedia is killing your AI presence The generational divide in AI adoption and what it means for business Notable Quotes "Audiences today are ready to move on from 'how do I use gen AI for productivity?' into something deeper: What does it mean for us as humans?" - Sandy Carter [00:05:14] "If your process already didn't work, there's no magic in AI that's going to make it wake up and work." - Sandy Carter [00:18:42] "You have to experience it. You have to get your hands into it. You have to play with an agent." - Sandy Carter [00:27:38] "If you take one thing from this whole podcast, put your company in [AI search], put yourself in too, and see what comes out." - Sandy Carter [00:50:54] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Sandy Carter sandycarter.net | Website Unstoppable Domains | Website Sandy Carter | LinkedIn Sandy's Book: AI First, Human Always Timestamps 0:00 Intro: Host welcomes Sandy Carter 5:23 AI's impact on human meaning and work 10:24 Why 95% of corporate AI projects fail 15:23 Redesigning workflows for AI integration 20:44 Generational differences in AI adoption 26:58 The importance of "play storming" with AI 32:13 Training everyone on AI, not just tech teams 37:05 Voice interfaces and generational preferences 41:32 Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) strategies 48:43 Checking your company's AI presence 54:41 Closing thoughts on AI and communications (Notes co-created by Human Dan, Claude, and  Flowsend.ai ) Learn more about your ad choices.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you stuck acting like an order taker instead of leading your clients with strategy? If you want to grow an agency that survives the competition, you need to do more than deliver pretty websites or manage ad budgets. You need to lead with strategy, prove it with data, and guide your clients through the journey—not the other way around. Too many agencies are still making decisions based on “gut feelings” instead of data, which is why today's featured guest is tackling exactly that problem—making it easier for everyone in a company to use data daily, so decisions are grounded in reality, not instinct. Pete Caputa is the CEO of Databox, a business intelligence platform built for small to mid-market companies that makes data adoption simple across teams. Before that, Pete spent nine years at HubSpot, where he famously launched and scaled the agency partner program—now responsible for billions in revenue. But Pete's journey didn't start in SaaS boardrooms. He began as an engineer, dabbled in early 2000s web apps after learning to code, and struggled through the grind of bootstrapping. his own ventures. A key pivot came when he connected with sales coach Rick Rober, who helped him sharpen his sales chops. That path eventually led him to HubSpot as the fourth sales rep and later, the architect behind the company's groundbreaking agency channel. In this episode, we'll discuss: Creating the HubSpot Agency Partner Program. Why agencies need to lead with strategy. AI as the new strategic edge. Selling strategy as a service.

The Birth of the HubSpot Agency Partner Program Early HubSpot sales conversations looked familiar to many agency owners: lots of free education, lots of excitement… and lots of ghosting. Agencies wanted to roll HubSpot out to their clients, but deals rarely closed. Pete recognized the deeper problem —agencies were stuck in project-based work and living on the cash flow rollercoaster. So he set out to teach agencies to package ongoing retainers instead of chasing one-off projects. That simple but powerful shift unlocked stability and scale. Agencies suddenly had recurring revenue, longer-term client relationships, and the ability to deliver compounding value. HubSpot, of course, became the backbone of that service delivery. What started as a scrappy idea became a multi-billion-dollar channel—and one of the most successful agency programs in SaaS history. Leaving HubSpot As HubSpot scaled, so did its internal politics. Pete found himself in the middle of a growing conflict between the direct sales team and the partner channel. Instead of collaborating, the two operated like competing businesses, often clashing at the deal level. Pete saw a solution, but realized implementing it would be painful in company scaling that fast. He eventually stepped away, even though he was responsible for nearly 40% of HubSpot's revenue at the time. “It got harder to get things done,” he admitted—proof that what works in a startup culture doesn't always survive as companies mature. The Evolving Challenges for Agencies Back in the early 2000s, agencies had to convince clients digital marketing was worth investing in. SEO, social, and funnels were foreign concepts for most businesses. Agencies had to sell belief before they could sell retainers. Today, the problem isn't buy-in—it's competition. Businesses now see digital as essential, but agencies are often commoditized into executing tactics. Instead of being trusted advisors, many find themselves replaceable—either by freelancers, in-house hires, or other agencies that “do the same thing cheaper.” The risk is clear: if you're not leading clients strategically, you're just a vendor waiting to be swapped out. Agencies Need to Lead With Strategy Most agencies claim to do strategy, but really, they only use it to justify selling a tactic. Redesigning a website? They'll run some quick competitor research. Launching content marketing? They'll whip up a persona doc. But that's not strategy—it's sales collateral. Pete is now working on a framework he calls Predictable Scale. It starts with true strategy: competitive research, customer research, defining vision and mission, and setting clear objectives. Only then do tactics come into play. Most agencies don't put these together in the right sequence and, as a result, get pushed in to executing tactics. For agencies, this is the key to breaking out of the execution box and earning a permanent seat at the table. AI as the New Strategic Edge These days, agencies can leverage AI to accelerate strategy and client service. It can be as simple as using AI to run a SWOT analysis, refine your brand voice, mission and vision, and then taking all the data and use it to create a custom GPT you can run to generate client-facing plans. One mastermind member, Chris Dwyer, took this to the extreme by building a board of AI advisors (finance, marketing, sales, and acquisitions) and saw incredible growth as a result. Pete's team has also dabbled in this use of AI and created a custom GPT called Pete GPT. They feed in customer interviews, surveys, and Pete's own writing so the tool can generate content in his voice. Beyond content, AI is speeding up product feedback loops. By connecting call transcripts, chat logs, and support tickets, his product team can instantly spot customer needs and prioritize features—a process that used to take weeks of interviews. Pete also has an AI agent that handles about 50% of his agency's conversations with prospects and clients, with a customer satisfaction score of 70% so far. For agencies, the message is clear: if you're not already embedding AI into your workflows, you're falling behind. Onboarding and Client Retention Still Matter Most Not everything should be automated, however, especially when it comes to onboarding. Onboarding can make or break a client relationship in the first 60 days. Too many agencies rely entirely on Zoom and automation, missing the opportunity to build true connection. “No one meets with clients in person anymore,” he said, and it's costing them. Some of the most successful agencies in Jason's mastermind make it a priority to visit new clients in person during the first quarter. That small gesture builds trust, creates deeper bonds, and makes it much harder for clients to churn later. With competition as fierce as it is, going the extra mile in onboarding may be the simplest competitive advantage agencies can claim. Selling Strategy as a Service Pete wrapped up the conversation by introducing Databox's new program for agencies: business intelligence as a service. Until now, most agencies used Databox to report on campaign performance. But Pete sees a bigger opportunity—helping agencies package BI consulting as a strategic service. Instead of being the vendor that just improves ad ROAS or runs SEO reports, agencies can step up as partners who improve an entire company's performance. That means quarterly reviews looking not just at marketing metrics, but at sales, ops, finance, and customer success data too. For agencies tired of being “order takers,” this is the chance to finally sell strategy over tactics—and get paid for it. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

What happens when the life you've built no longer feels like the life you're meant to live? At 54, Erik walked away from a long marriage, left the country he'd called home for 25 years, rebuilt in Spain, survived a stroke, and is now creating a new business in AI. His story isn't one of reckless reinvention, but of deliberate choices, awareness, and courage to face change head-on. In this conversation, Erik and I talk about: Letting go with respect - how to end a marriage without bitterness, and why separation can sometimes be the most loving decision.Redesigning life from the ground up - why moving country, shedding possessions, and starting fresh can be liberating rather than terrifying.Stress-testing excuses - how to see through the reasons you tell yourself you “can't” change.Inner calm and outer change  - the principle that your external world follows your inner state, and why silence, clarity, and self-reflection matter more than outside noise.Health as a wake-up call  - what Erik learned from a stroke about stress, resilience, and treating recovery as training, not decline.Work and purpose in midlife - why building businesses (not just wealth) can be a creative outlet, and how AI may offer new doors for reinvention.Freedom over possessions - the surprising relief of divesting assets and living light.First steps for anyone stuck - the role of awareness, perspective, and honest conversation in beginning the shift towards a more fulfilling life.This is not a story about easy fixes. It's about recognising signals, taking responsibility for your choices, and discovering that on the other side of fear, there's freedom. If you're in midlife and feeling trapped, Erik's journey shows that change is possible, step by step, with awareness, patience, and the courage to listen to yourself.

AI isn't just a support tool anymore—it's becoming the strategist.As the next generation of autonomous AI agents begins to emerge, we're seeing a shift from task-based assistance to full-cycle execution. These agents don't just draft content or summarize research—they can now run processes from start to finish with minimal human involvement. From preparing client reports to organizing internal communications, these tools have the potential to fundamentally reshape the way wealth management firms operate. For smaller firms, they could even become the competitive equalizer.But this isn't about plugging AI into outdated workflows. It's about letting AI pursue outcomes—more efficiently, more creatively, and sometimes in ways humans wouldn't have thought to design. I explore how firms can start experimenting with agents in low-risk areas, build internal comfort and skill, and evolve toward deeper integration. I also dive into what it looks like to shift your team's mindset: from managing step-by-step processes to defining clear end goals and trusting AI to find the path.Regulatory frameworks are evolving just as fast. With new initiatives like AI sandboxes and emerging tax incentives for workforce training, firms have a chance to shape—not just follow—the rules. I walk through how to align your governance with existing standards, and why compliance shouldn't be an afterthought. If we want AI to be a long-term partner, we need to set it up with the same intention and clarity we'd expect from any team member. This is about building a future where results—not routine—define success.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Dr. Catrina Mitchum shares her journey from burnout in higher education to building a business that transforms how we learn online. From leaving a prestigious academic identity to redefining learning as an experience, not just content, Dr. Mitchum brings clarity and courage to a conversation every course creator—and learner—needs to hear. We discuss why so many online courses fail, how poor design impacts confidence, and why it's never your fault if you didn't finish that course.   About the Guest:Dr. Catrina Mitchum is the founder of Catrina Mitchum Learning Design, an education expert, and course design disruptor. A recovering academic, she's on a mission to transform course creation from static content dumps into engaging, empowering experiences. With a focus on learner transformation and instructional integrity, she helps service-based businesses bring real change through intentional design.   Key Takeaways: Burnout often comes silently—reconnecting with your body is the first step toward healing.
