Director by 35 was the plan. Now every missed milestone feels like proof that something's wrong with you. Map your path to Director https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrRe3O8KHSQ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SWNwlHy9w5c I asked MIT engineer and CTO Mark Herschberg how often a project ends up exactly the way it was planned on day one. His answer was near zero. Scope shifts, a CEO changes direction six months in, and sometimes the whole thing gets cancelled because there's better ROI somewhere else. Nobody calls that team failures, but when your career plan slips, you call yourself one. A career plan should work like a project plan. It's clear for the next few weeks, fuzzy further out, and adjusted as you learn. A missed milestone is often a trade-off you made on purpose, like refusing to spend three years kissing the ring of a boss you couldn't stand. Most of Mark's career-planning questions aren't about work at all. They're about family, where you want to live, and the impact you want to have. In this episode: why a master's degree won't get you promoted, how ten minutes of negotiating can be worth $40,000, how to build a peer group that practices leadership the way athletes scrimmage, and the fantasy chess question that helps you work backward from where you want to be.

Watch Full Video Episode What if the phone is ringing, but your team is unknowingly turning customers away? David Boyd, owner of Call Inbound, and Rich Oppitz, Director of Operations at Telle Tire, overseeing 95 stores, explore how call recording and AI analysis can uncover missed opportunities at the service counter and turn everyday customer conversations into powerful coaching moments. The challenge isn't always getting the phone to ring. It's understanding what happens after someone answers it. Rich shares how Telle Tire discovered that service advisors weren't intentionally turning business away, but their language sometimes communicated “no” without actually saying the word. By establishing clear expectations, analyzing calls, and consistently coaching the team, their appointment capture score improved from approximately 58% to 72% in just three to four months. What You'll Learn Why a car count problem may actually be a call conversion problemHow service advisors can unintentionally communicate “no” by focusing on what the shop can't doWhy communicating what you CAN do can change the customer conversationHow AI analysis can uncover coaching opportunities across thousands of callsWhy expectations need to be established before calls are gradedHow “Champion Calls” and “Coachable Calls” create continuous learningWhy call reviews should be positioned as coaching, not punishmentHow self-assessment can help service advisors recognize their own opportunities for improvementWhy empathy, courtesy, personalization, patience, tone, and follow-up matter to the customer experienceHow a focused call review can become a valuable coaching conversation in only 5 to 7 minutes Don't just record the call. Learn from it. Call recordings give shop leaders the opportunity to replace assumptions with actual conversations. When those conversations become part of consistent coaching, the goal isn't to catch someone doing something wrong. It's to help the team communicate better, ask for the appointment, improve the customer experience, and convert more of the opportunities already coming into the shop. Before spending more money making the phone ring, listen to what happens when it does.

The episode highlights a structural gap between projected AI-driven revenue in the channel and the concrete operational changes needed to capture measurable ROI. Industry surveys from Informa MSP 501, McKinsey, and PwC consistently show that while AI adoption rates among managed service providers (MSPs) are high, few organizations have restructured workflows or business models around AI. The focus remains on superficial activity tracking rather than genuine business transformation.The MSP 501 survey found 57% of providers expect significant AI revenue growth, with 91% reporting some level of adoption. However, McKinsey's analysis, as presented by IHL Group, shows only 11% of companies have comprehensively rebuilt processes around AI, with a minority of those realizing clear benefits. PwC's CEO survey aligns, with over half of respondents seeing no substantive financial returns from AI unless it is extensively integrated beyond the user level.Products like Insightful workforce analytics are now entering MSP portfolios, offering discounted access to AI usage tracking tools. Yet data from Visier and the OECD warn that monitoring software can promote superficial compliance—about half of workers admit to overstating AI usage, and most lack control over the data collected. The OECD also finds that this monitoring is often embedded in standard business software rather than dedicated AI platforms.For MSPs, the risk is prioritizing activity measurement over outcome-based change. Vendors promote usage reports, but these often reward appearances rather than operational improvement. Meaningful results depend on redesigning workflows and measuring actual process improvements—not merely collecting tool usage statistics. Before offering AI usage metrics to clients, MSPs should validate the effectiveness of workflow changes internally to avoid incentivizing unproductive patterns.00:00 Forecasting AI, Skipping The Redesign 04:06 When Usage Stands In For Results06:56 The Usage Meter Hits Your Catalog10:46 Why Do We Care?

Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, and OverdryveDid you buy a truck last December just to shrink your tax bill? Is the year-end bonus you pay yourself actually handing the IRS more money?In part two of his tax series, Hunt Demarest, CPA with Paar Melis & Associates, moves from tax planning to the part every shop owner wants to hear about: paying less. He walks through six strategies and flags where owners get each one wrong. A $6,000 compressor saves you $1,500 but leaves you $4,500 poorer, while a $6,000 IRA contribution saves the same $1,500 and you keep every dollar. Hunt also explains why a small 401(k) can cost you thousands a year in fees, how an HSA works like a second retirement account, and why an S corp owner who bonuses profit onto payroll pays more tax.

#396 | Dave and Dasha recorded this episode live during Drive 2026 - our biggest event yet. Dave explains how Drive nearly moved to Boston, and why he thinks keeping it in Vermont matters. They also went deep into how Dave wrote this year's keynote. He shares his struggle of building an outline with Claude that had no soul, and asking Harry Dry for help. Eventually, the talk became about one idea: connection. Dave also covers how that experience changed the way he gives feedback to his team, his biggest wins of 2026, and what he's betting on for 2027.Timestamps (00:00) - Interviewing Dave IRL at Drive about His Career and Keynote Writing Process (03:49) - How the Drive Event Started (09:08) - Why This Year's Keynote Matters and How Dave Wrote It (11:49) - Moving Past the Writer's Block: "AI Rotted My Brain" (13:47) - Getting Harsh Feedback from Harry Dry (16:00) - The Angle: a Story About Human In-Person Connection (20:13) - Bringing Harry's Feedback Style to the Team (25:41) - How to Build an Outstanding Team and Why This is Your Biggest Lever (31:43) - The Canadian Snack Taste Test Join 50,0000 people who get Dave's Newsletter here: https://www.exitfive.com/newsletterLearn more about Exit Five's private marketing community: https://www.exitfive.com/***Brought to you by:Zoom Webinars & Events – The virtual event platform built to help B2B marketers run webinars that actually drive pipeline, with branded registration pages, live engagement features, and built-in tools to repurpose sessions into clips and content.

Omani Carson — www.linkedin.com/in/omanicarsonFounder and Chairman, Carson Group | Founder, Omya | Founder, Momentis Family Office | Co-founder, Dreamweaver Foundation | AuthorRecorded on his first full day as Omani, the day after a judge signed his legal name change, this conversation meets Omani Carson at what he calls “a really proud time in my life.” He tells how the name Tate-Omani, “walking into a stiff wind,” was given to him, and how about a decade ago he made the shift from a life run on fear and scarcity to one led by love and abundance. He makes the case for going with your strengths (“If you work on your weaknesses, someday you'll have a little stronger weakness”), shares the saying he and his wife Jeanie live by (“You haven't lived until you do something nice for someone who never expected it, who can never repay you”), and walks through the exercise he teaches in his coaching work and at Omya: write your eulogy, then plan your years backward from it. The conversation opens mid-stream, without the usual introduction, and it closes on his final phrase: “Live every day like it's your last. And most certainly, one day, you'll be right.”Omani also shares his own experience of psychedelic-assisted therapy and his views on it. Those views are his own, and nothing in the episode is medical advice.Omani's mission, as he shared it at the Do More Good Movement's 2024 conference: “I can motivate others to live a more purpose filled life.” Strengths heard in that mission, as the host's own inference and not a test result: Woo and Developer (CliftonStrengths).Find your own strengths, free: www.viacharacter.org/character-strengthsSince this conversation: Omani joined the Do More Good Movement's ROI of Why 2026 in Omaha on the panel “From Hustle to Whole.” Speaking at the Hustle Conference in Omaha on September 30, 2026, Jay Wilkinson described a transition under way in the movement and the bringing together of conferences, with Omani's newer work in the plan.

To go deeper on this episode and take the opportunity to connect with Dr. Gleb live, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/HfJOZAaIRI6DBXc84CSCSA. Hope to see you there!Most AI adoption strategies start with tools, training and governance.But what happens when the real barrier isn't knowing how to use AI?Employees may be wondering whether the technology will eventually replace them. Experienced professionals may feel that work they spent years learning to do can suddenly be generated in seconds. Others are already using AI successfully but are reluctant to admit it because they worry it will make them look lazy, less capable or as though they have somehow cheated.Those aren't technology problems. They're human ones.In this episode of foHRsight, Naomi Titleman is joined by behavioural scientist Dr. Gleb Tsipursky to explore what leaders often miss when trying to drive AI adoption at work.They unpack three very different forms of resistance: fear and anxiety about job security, threats to professional identity, and the social stigma that can keep productive AI use hidden. Gleb shares practical ways leaders can respond, including starting with the work employees actively want off their plates, modelling AI use openly, creating opportunities to share what is working, and giving people genuine space to experiment.The conversation also looks at the growing problem of AI-generated “work slop,” why critical thinking becomes more important rather than less important in an AI-enabled workplace, and how psychological safety needs to be paired with accountability and human review.For HR leaders navigating AI adoption, the challenge is no longer simply choosing the right technology.It is creating an environment where people can learn how to use it without feeling that doing so puts their job, identity or credibility at risk.About Our GuestDr. Gleb Tsipursky is a behavioural scientist, seven-time bestselling author and author of The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work: From Resistance to Results. His work focuses on how leaders and organizations make better decisions and adapt to changes in the future of work, drawing on extensive research and consulting with organizations navigating AI adoption.Resources ReferencedThe Psychology of AI Adoption at Work: From Resistance to Results — Dr. Gleb Tsipursky's latest book.

Have you ever wondered why you get certain deals and lose others? It's tempting to blame the market, the pricing, or a bad presentation. But Bill Caskey believes there's usually a deeper reason — and it traces all the way back to Aristotle.Aristotle said every argument has three elements. In this episode, Bill applies them to the sales conversation:Ethos — trust in the messenger. There's a massive trust deficit right now; buyers don't trust sellers. Bill explains why trying to get someone to trust you backfires, why the fastest way to build trust is to detach from the outcome, and why you should match your prospect's skepticism instead of fighting it. Plus: the one opening statement that sets the stage for the whole call — and why interrogation makes buyers freeze up.Pathos — the emotion. Every buyer comes to you with a plight. Your job is to understand the why behind the what — without spending 30 minutes digging.Logos — the logic. There has to be a logic to the decision. That's where the roadmap comes in — and where the ROI conversation happens. Bill makes the case that money is logical, not emotional, and shares what a mastermind salesperson missed when trying to sell him a $10,000 program.12 Bold Moves - Audiobook: Want to break free and soar to new heights?

ClubGrub is a mobile ordering and delivery platform built specifically for private clubs, golf courses, and communities. From on-course GPS delivery to poolside service and even delivery directly to members' homes, ClubGrub is helping clubs rethink how they deliver food, beverage, and hospitality. On this episode of The Wednesday Match Play Podcast, powered by Heritage Creations USA, Britney gives us an overview of ClubGrub and how it works. She explains the use of QR codes, details how the GPS technology works, and discusses the importance of speed of service. We also learn how ClubGrub handles member billing, how clubs can eliminate the traditional beverage cart, and what goes into their famous "Hot Dog Reports." Britney also talks about 24/7 technical support and breaks down ClubGrub's ROI calculator. Oh, and she shares what it was like playing golf with Shane Gillis and picking up the bar tab after making her first ace! This was a fun and technological conversation and it was an honor having Britney on the show. Let's tee off! 

HP is best known for hardware and printers. Faisal Masud is turning it into a software and AI company, and he thinks the era of stacked management layers is ending. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) sits down with Faisal Masud, SVP and President of Worldwide Digital Services at HP, for a candid conversation about building enterprise AI, and what it does to how companies are actually run.Faisal has a rare vantage point: two decades across Amazon, eBay, Groupon, and Alphabet's Wing (the drone delivery moonshot, where he was COO), then CEO of the $1.5B commerce platform fabric, and now running all of HP's commercial software business. He explains why a hardware giant deliberately built a standalone software unit, how the thesis (collect telemetry from HP's devices, turn it into insights that serve customers) became the Workforce Experience Platform, and why HP stopped reselling third-party software to sell its own owned-IP products instead.The heart of the conversation is what AI is doing to organizations. Faisal argues that AI is demonstrably making extra layers of management unnecessary, because the monitoring, data collection, and aggregation those layers existed to do can now be handled by individuals and agents. His provocative framing: the future "manager" is managing agents, not people, and managers will have to know far more than just how to manage. He's equally blunt about the hype, AI is part of your strategy, not your strategy, adoption metrics alone prove nothing, and "everything is easier with AI until you go to production, which is a whole different ball game," where token budgets and real ROI bite. He also gives a working leader's read on the competitive landscape (OpenAI on the frontier, Amazon's moat, Microsoft Copilot's gains) and how his own PMs and developers use Claude, Codex, and Cloud Code every day.What you'll learn:Why AI is making additional layers of management unnecessary, and what replaces themThe shift from managing people to managing agents, and why managers will need to know moreWhy a hardware company like HP built a standalone software and AI businessHow device- and OS-agnostic telemetry became the Workforce Experience PlatformWhy HP stopped reselling third-party software to sell owned-IP productsWhy "AI is part of your strategy, not your strategy," and why adoption metrics aren't enoughThe real wall: AI makes building easy until you hit production, budgets, and token limitsHow Faisal pushes PMs on what should be done with AI vs. what needs a human in the loopA working read on OpenAI, Amazon, and Microsoft Copilot in the enterpriseWhat Faisal predicts for headcount and org structure in the mid-termConnect with Faisal Masud: President, HPLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/faisal/Host: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About HP Digital Services: HP's Digital Services division builds the commercial software HP sells into enterprises and channel partners, including the Workforce Experience Platform, which uses AI to anticipate and resolve employees' IT needs across a device- and OS-agnostic fleet.About the Product Podcast: Product School's podcast brings you candid conversations with the founders and product leaders shaping tech.Social Links:Find out more about Product School hereFollow our Podcast on TikTok hereFollow Product School on LinkedIn here

On the 72nd episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, host Evan Reiser (CEO and co-founder, Abnormal AI) speaks with Alexandra Guenther, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Leidos. Leidos is a Fortune 500 science and technology company that operates globally with roughly 50,000 employees across defense, intelligence, homeland, health, and digital sectors. Alexandra explains how Leidos rebuilt IT support into a "service desk of the future," how she drives AI adoption by asking teams which task they never want to do again, and why she treats AI as an enablement layer rather than an outcome.Quick Hits from Alexandra:On measuring the modern CIO: "It's no longer about ROI, and it's no longer about, 'I'm going to deploy this technology in 24 months.'"On leading through change: "You cannot build resilience into an exhausted organization."On AI's real role: "AI is an enablement and it is not the outcome in and of itself."Book Recommendation: Good to Great by Jim CollinsLike what you hear?

Tommy Lynch explains why so many brands underestimate the education gap around TikTok Shop, why bigger brands and agencies are finally paying attention, and why the real edge comes from products that are so visually interesting people want to watch them before they even buy them. Entrepreneurship rarely follows a straight path. For Tommy Lynch, it began at 14, building furniture from discarded shipping pallets, evolved into living and working from a converted school bus, and eventually led to building a career in content and social commerce. Today, as CEO of Cult Content, Lynch is helping brands navigate TikTok Shop through a model built around content, creators, community, and sustainable commercial strategy. Having helped more than 100 brands navigate the platform and taken four brands from minimal TikTok Shop sales to five figures a month, his approach combines practical experience with a clear understanding of the realities behind social commerce. His perspective challenges the idea of TikTok Shop as an easy gold rush. Instead, he emphasizes understanding unit economics, measuring ROI, building authentic creator relationships, and treating community as a long-term asset.

David Tashjian is the Senior Vice President of Comcast's Xfinity Communities national business unit, where he leads strategy, transformation, and performance for one of the company's fastest-evolving growth segments. He has spent more than 20 years at Comcast and over three decades in telecommunications. David started his career in restaurants, bars, and retail management before moving into telecom in the mid-1990s. He took on his first leadership role at 19 and has worked with multifamily properties throughout his telecom career. In this episode, John sits down with David Tashjian of Comcast's Xfinity Communities to break down how apartment owners should approach connectivity and technology. David explains why deployment and service delivery decide the resident experience, how the Connected Building retrofit upgrades older properties using existing wiring, and how national owners are turning technology into higher rents and technology fees. He also shares where multifamily proptech is heading and why a fragmented market is ready for a single partner at scale.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Talk to every stakeholder, from owners to residents, before making technology decisions Use resident feedback and competitor comparisons to spot when an upgrade is due Consider retrofits that reuse existing wiring before committing to a full fiber rebuild Judge providers on deployment, service delivery, and long-term stability as well as price Tie technology upgrades to rent premiums or technology fees to capture a return Treat connectivity as the foundation for access control, cameras, and other proptech     Topics From Restaurants to Telecom David grew up around his father's restaurants and bars, then moved into retail management A blind ad in the mid-1990s led him to a satellite company and into telecom He is approaching 21 years at Comcast Serving Every Stakeholder David's customers include owners, developers, consultants, attorneys, property managers, maintenance teams, and residents A strong resident product fails without the right deployment strategy and on-site buy-in What Owners Want Today Ease of use and ease of deployment top the list Xfinity Communities is a new business unit with dedicated leadership over multifamily sales, deployment, and product development David sees the service experience as the main differentiator The 186 Steps Behind a Deployment A new-build managed Wi-Fi fiber deployment involves 186 steps across Comcast and the property Many connectivity complaints trace back to deployment or bandwidth issues Every property Comcast serves gets its own full engineering design Connected Building and Legacy Properties Connected Building is a post-build retrofit that uses most of a building's existing wiring David says it costs pennies on the dollar compared to a fiber retrofit, with no walls torn apart It includes proactive network monitoring, real-time data, and proactive fixes Property-wide Wi-Fi can also support smart devices, security, access control, and cameras Signs It Is Time to Upgrade Resident complaints, such as trouble working from home or dropped connections Occupancy that lags nearby properties Competing new builds charging more in rent or amenity fees The ROI of a Technology Upgrade Residents will pay for what they want, through higher rents or a technology fee Many national accounts are upgrading portfolio-wide, timed with contract renewals Some have built dedicated revenue-generating technology teams Proptech and the Future of Multifamily David describes multifamily proptech as fragmented, much like single-family home automation Xfinity Communities is running three to four beta deployments toward an integrated, white-label experience The team is evaluating acquisitions and partnerships with proptech companies Residents increasingly expect keyless entry, garage access, and entry cameras Scale lets one provider serve owners with properties spread across multiple states

Podcast downloads alone rarely prove whether a campaign reached the right audience or delivered business value. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, entrepreneur David Ledgerwood of Listen Network Co explains how targeted podcast distribution and audience analytics can help agencies move beyond vanity metrics and demonstrate ROI. Drawing on decades of entrepreneurial experience, Ledgerwood shares how he has built and bootstrapped a portfolio of niche businesses through changing markets and economic downturns. He discusses the value of pattern recognition, patience, and knowing when to refine an idea, or move on. His practical business philosophy centers on keeping cash reserves, limiting debt, and letting complementary ventures support one another. The conversation offers useful perspectives for founders, agency leaders, and marketers seeking sustainable growth. Ledgerwood describes Listen Network's approach to making podcast advertising more measurable by connecting campaigns with human downloads from carefully defined target audiences. With demographic and professional insights such as age, household income, and job titles, agencies can better understand who engaged with a podcast campaign. That data can help teams report on performance, build client confidence, and shape editorial decisions around audience response. He also explains why podcasting's open RSS ecosystem can make attribution difficult, and why measurement tools can make the channel easier to evaluate alongside other digital marketing. Beyond podcast analytics, Ledgerwood outlines RIGGG's owned-media strategy, spanning video, podcasts, newsletters, webinars, and community building. His approach emphasizes creating content infrastructure a company controls rather than depending entirely on social platforms, paid media, or third-party PR. https://youtu.be/DKiSg8zSoQw?si=Ide4a_Yf0hOfMzSr The episode also explores how to manage several ventures without scattering time and attention. Ledgerwood says his partner group uses a shared backlog and Scrum-like prioritization, shifting focus toward the work closest to revenue while accounting for capacity and well-being. He cautions against assuming every available hour will be productive and encourages founders to plan realistically, make deliberate progress, and avoid rushing. Family is central to his perspective: as a father of five, he prioritizes parenting and recommends putting phones away and making time for meaningful conversations with children. His guiding reminder, “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast,” captures the value of preparation, focus, and doing the work carefully. For entrepreneurs interested in podcast ROI, owned media, bootstrapping, sustainable business growth, and work-life balance, this conversation offers practical ideas and hard-earned lessons. Quotes: "The most important thing isn't the money, it's your time. You can only work on one or two things at the same time, so what rises to the top really matters."   "I've always been passionate about the podcast agency space, but we've all been fighting against an open, anonymous protocol. Podcasts don't play along with traditional marketing data."  "If we can get really precise about who your podcast reaches, that becomes statistically representative of how your target audience behaves when presented with your show."

Welcome to Podcast Profits Unleashed, the show for coaches, consultants, and experts who want to turn conversations into clients. I'm your host, Karen Roberts, and today we're talking about one of the biggest mistakes people make with podcast guesting. They celebrate getting booked. Five podcasts this month. 50 this year. A guest spot on a huge show. Brilliant. Then what? Because getting booked on a podcast isn't a business strategy. It's an appointment in your calendar. The real opportunity is what happens when you stop collecting podcast appearances and start building relationships with the people behind them.

In this hour, Walter opens up about a real-life parenting dilemma, questioning whether his anxious 21-year-old daughter should drop out of college—and how to ensure she leaves with a real plan rather than floating aimlessly. Callers ring in to debate college ROI vs. lucrative trade careers like plumbing, alongside heated takes on ADHD, left-handed coffee mug businesses, and bizarre public radio parodies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-other-side-of-midnight-with-walter-sterling--7177415/support.

What if the thing slowing down AI in HR isn't the technology at all, but the way the function is set up to deliver it?Most HR organisations already have access to AI. The bigger challenge is whether the way HR is structured, governed and measured is ready to turn that technology into sustainable business value. In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer, principal analyst and co-founder of Brandon Hall Group, to explore new research identifying six structural moves for building an AI-enabled HR operating model.Join them, as they discuss:Why the operating model can become the constraint on AI transformation, even when the technology is ready What changes when HR manages recruiting, learning, employee experience and workforce planning as continuously evolving products rather than finite programmes Why great people and well-designed processes need to come before technology, and the risks of automating processes that already need redesigning How talent pods, workforce product teams and centres of excellence can combine business proximity with scalable solutions and enterprise standards Why HR business partners need deeper business acumen and a stronger performance consulting mindset Why governance works best when it is embedded into design and delivery, helping create the trust required for innovation Why HR needs to strengthen capabilities in judgement, critical thinking, business acumen and data and analytics as work changes How leaders can measure business, workforce, system and future impact rather than simply tracking implementation activityFor CHROs and HR leaders rethinking how their function operates, this conversation provides a practical framework for creating an HR model that can continuously adapt, scale and deliver measurable value.This episode is sponsored by HiBob. HiBob is the people platform built for the AI era, helping organisations replace fragmented HR systems with a unified foundation for workforce management.That's why Brandon Hall Group says unified workforce platforms are becoming the foundation for organisations looking to scale AI with confidence.

Everyone wants to automate their business with AI. But what should you actually automate first?Most companies are starting in the wrong place. They pick ChatGPT, Claude, agents, or automation tools and immediately start building. But the tool isn't the strategy. The real opportunity is figuring out which problems are worth solving first.In this episode of Leveraging AI, Isar Meitis sits down with Corey Ganim, founder of Return My Time, to break down a practical framework for doing exactly that: Audit. Optimize. Automate.Instead of throwing AI at every problem, Corey shows you how to identify the bottlenecks costing your business time, money, or customer experience, rank them by impact and effort, calculate potential ROI, and then choose the simplest solution that gets the job done.Sometimes that's an AI automation.Sometimes it's an existing $20-a-month software tool.And increasingly, AI can even help you implement the solution once you've picked it.In this session, you'll discover:Why choosing the right business problem matters more than choosing between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or GrokThe three outcomes business owners actually care about: making more money, saving time, and improving qualityHow to run an AI-powered audit of your own businessWhy asking AI one question at a time produces better strategic insightsThe impact-vs.-effort matrix for identifying your highest-value quick winsWhy you should consider off-the-shelf software before building custom AI automationHow to calculate the real ROI of buying back your timeHow to have AI create a step-by-step implementation plan for nontechnical usersHow AI computer-use capabilities can move beyond recommending software and actually help set it upCorey Ganim is the founder of Return My Time, where he helps businesses identify where they are wasting time and build systems to get that time back.His approach centers around a simple framework: Audit, Optimize, Automate.Check the prompts here: AI Tools Assessment: Copy-Paste Prompts About Leveraging AIMulti-Agent Orchestration Course: https://multiplai.ai/multi-agent-orchestration-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

How do you grow an orthodontic practice without letting it take over your life?Dr. Courtney Dunn, co-founder of a four-location orthodontic practice and founder of Women in Orthodontics, joins Dr. Leon Klempner and Amy Epstein to discuss the leadership, delegation and efficiency strategies that have helped her scale both her practice and her career.Courtney explains why orthodontists need to become more comfortable giving up control, how her practice measures clinical efficiency before investing in new technology, and why the right office manager can fundamentally change how a practice operates. She also shares her experience using Solventum Clarity aligners and pre-cured attachments, including the potential impact on bonding time, tracking and refinements.The conversation also explores mentorship, professional support networks and why the market you choose can have a major impact on practice growth.Key takeaways:Delegation is essential to scaling an orthodontic practice without creating owner burnout.Measure treatment efficiency and ROI before adopting new technology simply because it is available.Solventum's Clarity attachment technology has helped Courtney's practice streamline bonding and, anecdotally, reduce refinements and treatment time.A true office manager can take meaningful operational responsibility off the orthodontist's plate.Mentorship, community and realistic expectations can help practice owners make better long-term decisions.

Nate Sokolić started and sold companies in college, spent three years in executive search at Russell Reynolds, then led the firm's AI strategy, where he brought Findem in and rolled it out globally. He now works at Findem, helping HR leaders and talent teams adopt AI. Shane Driggers has spent close to 30 years in human resources, starting in Bay Area startups during the dot-com boom and most recently serving as Chief Talent Officer at T-Mobile. He now advises growth-stage companies.Most companies are already using AI. Employees report that they feel more productive, and budgets for tools and tokens keep climbing. Yet very few leaders can point to the result in product innovation or revenue. Nate and Shane argue that the problem is rarely the technology. Companies are adding AI on top of workflows and org structures that were designed for a different era, and they are letting the tools set the strategy instead of starting with the problem they want to solve.In this episode, Jessica sits down with both of them to talk about what it takes to make AI deliver measurable outcomes, why the people function has one of the biggest opportunities in the business right now, and how recruiting is changing from searching keyword profiles to getting verified, finished work back from AI agents.In this conversation, Jessica, Nate and Shane discuss topics such as:◼️ Why "tech wags the tail of strategy" and how that derails AI programs◼️ Why employees feel more productive while the business sees no gain◼️ How to redesign work from a blank page instead of rebuilding the past◼️ Why AI is creating a new wave of tech debt inside large companies◼️ How to decide which work should be human-led and which should be AI-led◼️ Why HR leaders must be human thinkers, business thinkers and systems thinkers at once◼️ How the CHRO role quietly became the company's chief AI strategist◼️ Why the best AI adoption starts small, proves ROI, then expands year by year◼️ How recruiters can search for real experience, like a CFO who has taken a company public◼️ Why shifting from SaaS tools to AI agents changes how companies buy and use software◼️ How Findem Studio produces market maps, succession plans and talent inflow/outflow reports◼️ Why every AI output needs to show its work before a leader can trust it◼️ Why transparency is the most valuable currency a leader has in an anxious workplaceThis episode is sponsored by Findem.

As multi-step agentic AI systems evolve, performance is increasingly driven by orchestration harnesses and stepwise outcome verification rather than raw model scale. While gated sub-agent architectures help prevent error cascades, the industry faces a sharp reckoning around vibe coding security vulnerabilities and unsustainable token costs. Paradoxically, generic AI travel planning tools are causing widespread itinerary homogenization, which in turn is driving up the market value and prestige of true human expertise.Agentic Harnesses & Stepwise Verification: Sub-agent harnesses and gated completions evaluate individual steps to eliminate error cascades, maintaining ~90% accuracy on multi-step tasks.The "Vibe Coding" Security Vulnerability: Unreviewed AI-generated code accelerates security flaws, as cataloged in Georgia Tech's Vibe Security Radar.Automated Exploitation Flywheel: AI models act as automated "script kiddies," speeding up the arms race by rapidly exploiting known vulnerabilities rather than creating novel zero-days.Token Economics & High Compute Costs: Escalating token expenses and infrastructure debt have led companies to move away from "token maxing," with human labor sometimes proving more cost-effective.Harnesses Over Brute-Force Scaling: Combining smaller or open-weight models with tailored harnesses, skills, and Model Context Protocols (MCPs) often delivers superior economic ROI compared to massive LLMs.First-Principles Governance Beyond "Kill Switches": Effective agentic governance requires fundamental system design, prompt edit tracking, and objective review rather than relying solely on reactive kill switches.The "Travel Agent 2.0" Homogenization Paradox: Generic AI travel tools generate impractical, 16-hour itineraries lacking local context, which unexpectedly elevates the prestige and necessity of real human travel agents.Right-Sizing Tools & Deterministic Systems: Traditional rule-based expert systems and optimization algorithms remain far more token-efficient and accurate for nuanced preference matching than brute-force LLMs.The "Cyborg" Collaboration Model: Human-AI hybrid workflows consistently outperform pure AI autonomy by pairing algorithmic efficiency with essential human context and oversight.Mentioned in the episode: Vibe Security Radar (vibesecradar.com/) and GitHub on Vibe Security Radar (github.com/HQ1995/vibe-security-radar).Previous related episodes: Mechanism design: Building smarter AI agents from the fundamentals, part 1 Utility functions: Building smarter AI agents from the fundamentals, part 2 Linear programming: Building smarter AI agents from the fundamentals, part 3What did you think?

Your live auction is not stealing from your fund a need. Benefit auctioneer, coach, and game show host Seth Weiner (Your Rocktioneer, out of Atlanta) sits down with Trevor to take apart the myths and habits costing nonprofits money before, during, and after the event.Seth's whole approach starts on the front end. He shares the worksheet system he uses to work backwards from a fundraising goal, break it down by revenue stream, and pressure-test whether the number is realistic months out. He explains why walking into an event with a bird in the hand matters, why loading six consignment items into your live auction is usually a mistake, and how a golden ticket can put a bucket-list trip in front of 150 guests at $100 each instead of selling it once.The conversation moves into the part most events neglect: sponsorship and stewardship. Seth makes the case for treating sponsors as partners with a real ROI rather than logos on a banner, how to ask for more in a tighter giving climate without projecting your own budget onto donors, and why you should thank a donor seven times before you ask for anything. He also shares a free post-event toolkit with scripts and follow-up stats.Then the data. Seth breaks down his underbidder spotter concept, which he calls seven-seven: seven paddles up at $7,000 is seven donors you just identified. He shows how to use bidding behavior, silent auction test items, and board paddle data to build both next year's event and next year's major donors.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:44 Catching up: music, travel, and New Orleans03:35 Meet Seth Weiner, the coaching auctioneer07:56 Why cheap trips and cheap auctioneers don't raise money10:05 Being deliberate with your live auction11:14 Working backwards from your fundraising goal16:15 Asking for more in a tougher giving climate18:16 Giving sponsors a real ROI20:13 Turning sponsors into partners24:25 Thank donors seven times before you ask25:15 The free post-event stewardship toolkit26:41 The underbidder spotter and the seven-seven29:15 Drop a trip in the silent auction to test demand30:52 Using board data to coach the paddle raise31:43 The live auction doesn't steal from your fund a need33:39 Why Seth runs the fund a need first36:22 Rapid fire: stewardship, overthinking, and negotiating40:25 Where to find Seth

Target is a company people love. More than 1,700 stores, a brand with real pull. Then it came to Canada, lost billions, and walked away inside four years.This is a story about Big and Little marketing. Little is the advertising. Big is everything else: product, price, place, and how the whole business organizes around the customer. Roger Martin says a promise has to be memorable, valuable, and deliverable. Advertising makes it memorable. Price and place make it valuable. Product makes it deliverable. In Canada, Target's ads were excellent, and the business broke the promise anyway.CPA Omar Roubi joins Marc and Vassilis to reverse engineer the collapse through the four Ps.

Can improving soil biology reduce synthetic inputs while maintaining yields—and improve farm profitability at the same time?In this episode of Soil Sisters, we sit down with Howard Vlieger at the Southern Family Farmers and Food Systems Conference to explore what happens when farmers work with biology instead of relying solely on conventional inputs. Howard is a regenerative farmer, researcher, and crop and livestock nutrition adviser who identifies as a student of the soil.Howard shares field experiences with Biomentum, a biological product he is helping expand with longtime mentor, Verlyn Sneller. Howard recounts results ranging from reduced nitrogen use in corn to managing rootworm without insecticide by rebuilding soil biology. Beyond row crops, Howard discusses early observations from vineyards, pasture and cattle nutrition, manure and lagoon management, septic and pond applications, odor and fly reduction, and efforts to address glyphosate residues.We explore water infiltration and flooding, why soil testing matters, and how tools such as the Haney Test and soil genomics can help farmers develop practical management plans based on their specific fields. Listen to the full discussion to hear Howard's examples, application strategies, and approach to connecting soil health with practical farm economics.Meet Our Guest:Howard Vlieger is a regenerative farmer, researcher, and crop and livestock nutrition adviser who identifies as a student of the soil. Howard has dedicated decades of his life to research and experimentation on the effects of GMO crops and glyphosate on livestock and ecosystem health. He and his family steward Vlieger Family Farm near Maurice, IA. They raise and sell natural meat (beef, pork, lamb, poultry, eggs and milk). Howard is also instrumental in educating lawmakers and the agricultural community on soil health and gut health through his efforts with scientists and doctors such as Dr. Michelle Perro, Dr. Don Huber, Dr. John Fagan, and has worked with RFK, Jr. and the MAHA movement. Howard is so serious about clean food that he travels with a mini fridge in his truck stocked with protein from his farm and snacks he trusts… and shares with the Soil Sisters.Learn More About Biomentum and ABC Soil Healthy by Terra Transitional SolutionsTime Stamps:00:00 Welcome to Soil Sisters00:17 Meet Howard Vlieger01:35 The Biomentum Origin Story04:41 Iowa Policy Momentum07:53 Cut Inputs, Keep Yield09:52 Field Success Stories12:35 Vineyard Trial Results14:22 From Soil Health to Gut Health18:10 Manure, Septic & Water Applications25:38 Flooding & Infiltration Math28:50 Lawn Care & Soil Lessons30:55 Biomentum Application Plan38:06 Seed Treatment: How-To40:05 In-Furrow Biology Application Options41:40 Seed Treatment Trials42:27 Cover Crop Reality Check45:06 Soil Testing & Genomics: Creating a Plan49:01 Building a Soil Health Recipe54:08 Scaling Biomentum Validation59:22 What Carbon Really Means01:02:26 ROI & Input Savings01:05:39 Hogs & Show Wrap

David Khoshpasand has spent years at Hasbro figuring out why retail media keeps getting blamed for things that are not its fault. The answer almost always comes back to the same problem. Brands are using the wrong scorecard.In this episode he and Destaney get into why total OPS is a terrible way to measure retail media effectiveness, why a high ROAS and a low ROI can exist at the exact same time, and why one competitor going viral overnight can tank your organic share in ways that have nothing to do with your ads.Connect with David on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dkmarketing/Connect with Destaney on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/destaney-wishon/

For the past 15 years, Danielle DuBoise has been at the forefront of the functional nutrition movement, building Sakara into one of the most recognizable wellness brands in the country. She co-founded the company in 2011 with childhood friend Whitney Tingle to reimagine the relationship between food and health. What began as a small organic meal-delivery service in New York has grown into a nationally recognized brand spanning prepared meals, supplements, and functional wellness products. Danielle has helped bring concepts like food as medicine, gut health, plant-forward nutrition, and functional wellness into the mainstream. Her perspective is especially compelling today as wellness evolves beyond restrictive diets and quick fixes toward a more holistic understanding of nutrition, metabolic health, gut health, and longevity. Having watched the industry move from cleanses and detoxes to today's focus on fiber, the microbiome, and personalized wellness, Danielle offers a thoughtful perspective on separating meaningful health practices from passing trends. She would be a strong voice on the future of functional nutrition, the connection between gut and metabolic health, food as medicine, wellness misinformation, and building a healthier, more intuitive relationship with food.In this episode, Danielle also discusses:The evolving role of supplements in modern wellnessThe powerful connection between gut health, metabolism, and longevityWhat food as medicine really looks like in everyday practiceHow to separate meaningful wellness advice from the latest trendsCreating a healthier, more intuitive approach to food and nourishmentDitching process foods and why your brain craves themHow meal delivery service brings peace and gives you your time backWe hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Danielle's journey and the growth of Sakara.

Most organizations fall into the trap of relying on activity metrics — tracking total flight hours, number of certified pilots, gigabytes/terabytes of processed data, or missions flown. While these metrics show program activity, they fail to demonstrate actual business value to executives. 5-Day Free Course: Thriving Drone Real Estate Business Transform your drone operations into a thriving real estate-focused business.

We're sitting down with our friend and WIIRE founding member Jessie Dillon (Hofstra) to have a real, numbers-on-the-table conversation about what it actually looks like to invest in yourself as a female real estate investor.In this episode, we walk through Jessie's journey from overbooked permanent makeup artist in Central Massachusetts to owning around 50 residential units—including house hacks, value‑add multifamily, and short‑term rentals. We talk about the “golden handcuffs,” why index funds alone weren't enough, and how real estate became her path out of being tied to the chair.Together, we break down:How Jessie decided when to stop DIY‑ing and start paying for speed through coaching, bootcamps, and retreatsThe mindset shift from “I should figure this out alone” to “someone else already solved this problem”Why women especially struggle with fear of failure and how mentorship, accountability, and community shorten the learning curveReal numbers from Jessie's 2024 business investments—from $10K on STR deal sourcing to legal, software, events, and team supportHow we (Grace and Amelia) have invested five and six figures into masterminds, mentors, and our team—and the trade‑offs behind those decisionsListen to Jessie's previous episodes below:Episode 22Episode 149Episode 197Episode 212If you're a woman in real estate wondering when to hire help, join a community, or invest in a mentor—and whether it's “worth it”—this episode will challenge your excuses and expand your idea of what's possible.

SummaryMike Sullivan is co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at OneDigital, an insurance and financial services organization with roughly 6,000 people across the United States and Canada. He is also co-author of the bestselling book Workforce Intelligence. He came on to talk about what three years of deploying AI inside his own company actually taught him, and the answer is not what most executives are being sold.The turning point was a single sentence. When OneDigital stopped thinking about AI as technology and started thinking about it as talent, and began hiring it, everything changed. Their people mentor the AI, teach it the job, and then hand it the work it genuinely does better. Each AI coworker has a name and a personality, and it becomes the repository of institutional knowledge that used to walk out the door when a 35-year employee retired.Mike is direct about the condition that makes any of this work, which is trust. You cannot lay off ten thousand people in the name of AI and then tell the survivors you are all in on them. He also names the question almost nobody has answered yet: when a growing share of your workforce is AI talent, who manages it, and how do you measure a blended workforce? Michael and Mike also get into the disappearing bottom rungs of the corporate ladder, why Gartner expects a wave of companies to table AI projects over missing ROI, and why Mike now jokes that his father, a union ironworker from Buffalo, would finally call him pro-labor.What you will learnThe reframe that changed everything at a 6,000-person company: stop treating AI as technology and start hiring it like talentWhat a capacity dividend is, and the question to ask once AI hands your team their time backHow to build AI coworkers that capture institutional knowledge before your longest-serving people retireWhy trust is the precondition for AI adoption, and how layoff headlines destroy itThe management gap nobody has solved: who owns AI talent when your org chart only knows human capitalWhy the bottom rungs of the corporate ladder are disappearing, and what that does to early-career hiringWhy AI projects stall on ROI when leaders expect an immediate return from something that needs cultivatingAbout Mike SullivanMike Sullivan is co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at OneDigital, an insurance and financial services organization operating across the United States and Canada with roughly 6,000 employees. He is co-author, with Vinay Gidwani, of the bestselling book Workforce Intelligence, written deliberately for non-technical leaders who are trying to run companies through AI adoption without losing the trust of their people.ConnectOneDigital: https://www.onedigital.comWorkforce Intelligence by Mike Sullivan and Vinay GidwaniBreakfast Leadership Network: https://www.breakfastleadership.com Note: The Breakfast Leadership Show includes occasional paid partner episodes, in which the guest has paid to appear.
