Episode 293:  Today the FED cut rates and postponed their Quantitative Tightening program.  The move was much anticipated and therefore we saw a typical “buy the rumor, sell the news” reaction.  The S&P500 was down over 1% and broke below 3000. Should you be worried?  I’m not.  All that and more in this episode. HEY- would you please do me a favor?  Earlier this year in Europe, I was interviewed by an Industrial association and a clip has been posted to YouTube.  I’d like to drive some traffic there and would really appreciate if you’d watch it.  It’s less than 5 minutes and my comments are extremely relevant to the impact of Robotics/Automation on the global economy.  Please watch:  https://youtu.be/LZ4xcsLaH8s -------------------------------------------------------------- For more information visit us at: www.wealthsteading.com or www.investablewealth.com Copyright © 2019 Investable Wealth, LLC.

In this week’s episode of SMACtalk, hosts Brian Fanzo and Daniel Newman had the opportunity to speak with Pegasystems CTO, Don Schuerman, part of Pega Systems leadership team. During this show we explored Robotics and Automation in the workplace. Perhaps one of the most discussed topics in business today is the role that automation will have on jobs. There is an increasing concern that automation and robots will replace the workforce. We wanted to know if this was the case so this is exactly what was discussed with Don’s interview on SMACtalk.   During this episode, Don provided insights on the following questions: Give an overview on what is "Robotics Automation"  Explain robotics process automation and robotics desktop automation How will work change due to RPA and RDA? Can this be positive for people? (fear of automation etc.) How advanced is Robotics Automation today and when do you think we will see this make a big leap into our day to day life? What are some specific ways Robotics Process Automation is helping lead digital transformation? What are your big predictions for the future of work in the next 1, 3, 5 years? Some highlights include Don explaining the difference in some of the automation terminology such as Robotics Process Automation versus Robotics Desktop Automation. Don did a particularly good job of helping provide clarity as to what robotics and automation really mean, versus what many perceive. This may seem a bit funny, but many people who think about robotics, think about cyborgs that are sharing their work environment. Don helped clarify that this is not the case! Want to know more? Throughout this episode of SMACtalk, Don continually answers the challenging questions that are thrown his way while providing useful insights for anyone interested in learning more about Automoation, Robotics and the future of work. Tune in, check it out and enjoy the episode! Disclaimer: This episode was sponsored in part by Pegasystems. To learn more about Pega, visit them at www.PEGA.com
