Artificial Intelligence (AI) – how the Algorithm Connects Us All Revisited AZ TRT 2.0 – S06 EP08 (270) 5-11-2025   What We Learned This Week: AI is inter-connected with so many technologies & you use AI often on a daily basis AI is a part of almost all industries from Healthcare, Finance to Defense Human in the Loop - humans will always be needed to Interpret the Data, but AI will assist Software Teams must be managed so the product is integrated properly in the bigger picture   Moore's Law – Each year computing power grows 2x as fast, but cuts the cost in half   Guests: Naru (Narendran Muraleedharan), CEO / Founder of StaxAI – formerly Inventives & Aptus AI https://stax.ai/   linkedin.com/in/naru95       Bio: At Stax.ai, we empower retirement plan TPAs to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and deliver exceptional client experiences. Our innovative platform automates census data collection, payroll integrations, trust accounting, and client communication, all while providing actionable insights through AI-driven tools. Trusted by TPAs managing thousands of plans, Stax.ai transforms administrative burdens into seamless workflows, enabling you to focus on what matters most—growing your business and strengthening client relationships.   Past Bio: Inventives / Aptus AI is a software solutions and artificial intelligence development and consulting firm. They provide aerospace, mechanical, and software engineering services to companies around the world. The Team is strong, and well-rounded consisting of engineers, developers, and physicists that focus on solving problems at the root. They help take ideas or concepts and build prototypes and deployments in very short periods of time with tight budgets while maintaining the best quality and client satisfaction. The main fields of expertise are RPA, Web App Development, Solutions Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Simulation Systems.   Note**: This interview was recorded in Oct. 2021 (S02 EP 43 (90) 10-24-21), since then Naru has changed the company name. Also, the BRT podcast has changed to AZ Tech Roundtable.   Notes: Seg. 2 - 4 Naru returns to the show talking tech, software, and AI. His team is always developing new applications with AI in healthcare, finance, biotech, & aerospace. Naru shows how so many technologies are connected and what the future of business looks like. Inventives is the new company, with the same core technology team, but focusing the business into a venture studio by creating new AI projects for companies not yet using AI. Inventives new projects can become spinoff companies with this new technology.  They work with B2B clients and also Investors for these types of companies.   Radiology is a current project to enhance the patient experience using AI – called SKIP. This project is on the Operations side to make the patient process of paperwork, payments, etc. to be automated (& efficient) with AI working with the patient. This will be stand alone, but if adopted by other medical offices over the long term can streamline the healthcare industry. Naru and his team are working on document management, where their AI program will be able to read documents and determine what the info is. Rising Cloud is another project they are building that manages a company cloud usage to improve costs.   Moore's Law – Each year computing power grows 2x as fast, but cuts the cost in half Cloud Computing happens in the cloud and internet for your programming vs Edge Computing that happens right on your phone and does not need to go out to the cloud. Bigger the data request or process determines if Cloud or Edge is the best choice. People interact with AI (Artificial Intelligence) daily on their phone, email, internet search and beyond. User Agreements in your phone or websites you use say they can take your search data and use it to enhance your experience.   AI Search uses past searches by you, vs what are the popular other searches by other people on the internet. It happens so fast and has the best / popular search options loading before you are even done typing. This is called a Recommendation Engine, just like Netflix or Amazon find shows or products you may like. These recs are similar to what you have watched or bought previously, or in similar genres. The downside is you may not see different options, just more of the same. AI determines what you see daily on the internet, and can create a silo effect. Inventives uses a common solution, called Human in the Loop to review what the AI is doing. Then the searches or recommendations are reviewed to see how accurate they are.  Healthcare AI is assisting doctors, and even finding issues that humans have missed in a radiology study. AI has no bias, and does not get tired. The computer can repeat processes and be consistent.   Key technologies of the day are constantly overlapping – AI, Big Data, Cloud, SaaS Software, etc. This tech can work with each other, and new software can build on top of these applications. Open AI created a product with AI that builds AI software. Naru's Software Teams have different backgrounds of math, engineering or physics who are self taught on software and think more about the solution vs thinking in terms of coding. There are small groups of 2 to 4 people in a team with a Solutions Architect running the small team and determining how the software interacts in the bigger picture. Often some of the best software involved very small teams. Lot of testing and compliance control goes into to creating big software projects that can involve multiple teams. Same issue if building an upgrade to a software that merges with the previous version.   Rewind Clip (Seg. 1) – Replay of a segment from Naru's last appearance on BRT in 11/2020 He talks AI and the morality of the technology. How can a programmer control their product, and what it will be used for in the real world. Naru chose the name Aptus because it is Latin for Apt or Appropriate – design products that works for the clients Chaos Theory / Jurassic Park – Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should Aptus gets defense contracts as sub-contractor of companies partnered with military. Aptus studies the end applications for what they are requested to build, to determine if they will take the project. Morality is considered, but not always applicable to see where a product may go until it is built. AI software is programmed to build more software, AI building more AI. Per Naru there are companies trying to develop AI weapons that can kill on their own, and robots being controlled by AI already. Aptus has Liability Insurance to protect their projects.       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT    Thanks for Listening.

The global SaaS (Software as a Service) market is worth billions of dollars. But it won't stay there. Analysts predict that by 2032, it will exceed $1 trillion in value. But it comes as no surprise. By the end of 2024, 99% of organisations used at least one SaaS application, with an average of 112 different web tools per company. Meaning that most businesses, big and small, and from all sectors, rely on online applications as the backbone for their operations. Look over these statistics: In 2025, 85% of business apps will be subscription-based. Corporations with over 10,000 employees use around 447 online services. Between 2013 and 2020, the software as a service field grew by 500%. To date, 30,800 SaaS companies are on the market, with the United States holding the largest share. Flexibility, scalability, and accessibility are the driving forces behind this widespread adoption. These are crucial advantages, as many organisations are adapting to hybrid work and digital-first processes. In this podcast, we delve into five key areas where SaaS tools are transforming business operations. Listen to the full episode...

Most freelancers are making things hard than they need be by just "winging it" - stumbling through their business like they're lost in the woods with no GPS. But here's the thing: nearly every problem you have with your business has already been solved. The smartest minds in the world have figured out how to create predictable revenue, retain clients longer, and escape the feast-or-famine cycle. And they're doing it in one of the most lucrative industries out there: SaaS (Software as a Service). Here's what it looks like if your freelance business ran like a SaaS company: Clients paying you every month (instead of one-and-done projects). A machine that brings leads in (instead of just relying on word-of-mouth). Your entire onboarding process is automated (instead of chasing emails, contracts, or invoices). Clients stick around for years (instead of disappearing after one project). You actually know all your important numbers (instead of just going by "gut") This episode breaks down exactly how to apply these SaaS strategies to your freelance business. Just steal what works instead of fumbling around in the dark. For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/349

SaaS (Software as a Service) applications, due to their ease of launch and proliferation, have created a “perfect storm” for attackers, and a significant challenge for cybersecurity professionals. Organizations with over 1,000 employees typically use 150+ SaaS applications, often unmanaged, which expands the attack surface and poses a unique threat to entities like the federal government.    This week on Feds At the Edge, we discuss where the threats may lie and give practical information on attempting to control this new threat vector.      Mark Canter, CISO at US GAO, highlights the widespread lack of understanding about where data is used, emphasizing the importance of good data management practices. AI can play a pivotal role in systematically addressing this issue.    Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform as we explore why organizations should maintain accurate inventories of SaaS applications, identifying and managing shadow SaaS apps, and implementing robust governance practices to secure and optimize their SaaS ecosystems.

Eigenlayer is a protocol for decentralized trust, allowing anyone to build new crypto applications without worrying about the source of trust. It enables other protocols to inherit the security of Ethereum by staking ETH and running the Ethereum protocol correctly. Eigenlayer also introduces the concept of Actively Validated Services (AVS), which consume decentralized trust from the Eigenlayer ecosystem. AVSs are verifiable SaaS (Software as a Service) that provide specialized services on top of Eigenlayer. Economic security is crucial for the short-term trust in blockchain systems, while social consensus operates on a longer time scale. The conversation explores the concept of economic security and the role of institutions in managing risks. It discusses the importance of protocols having sharp measured security and the need for regularizing risks in the crypto space. The conversation also delves into the idea of open innovation and the goal of empowering better services. The second part of the conversation focuses on the interplay between objective, subjective, and intersubjective faults in blockchain systems. It explains the need to bring social truth on-chain and the mechanism of forking to determine the true version of a token. The conversation concludes by highlighting the benefits of pooling security and the importance of isolation between financial applications and forking applications. EigenLayer's core premise is to provide decentralized trust to as many different applications as possible. The Eigen token is consumed by AVSs for intersubjective false and intersubjective staking. In the event of a fault, all AVSs must decide which token to follow within a lag period. Forking occurs after the 28-day period, with each AVS switching to one of the two forks. The system ensures that faults are adjudicated by a majority vote among eigenstakers. The AVSs are compensated for any faults, and the system remains secure as long as the transaction value is less than the attributable security. The Eigen token design went through multiple iterations, with the goal of finding the right balance between order and chaos. EigenLayer's view is that decentralized trust is the raw material of the crypto economy, and trustless composability is crucial. The project aims to bridge the gap between short-term utility and long-term merit. The success of EigenLayer's ecosystem was an emergent phenomenon, driven by the principles of reducing capital costs and incentivizing adoption.

Are you considering structuring your revenue model like a SaaS to maximise business valuation and sustainability? Sean Tepper explored the importance of reshaping your business revenue model for long-term sustainability and increased business valuation. The main takeaway was the significance of transforming your service-based business into a recurring revenue model, similar to SaaS (Software as a Service). Sean's experience shed light on the challenges of running a project-based agency, where revenue relied solely on landing new projects. This led to a constant hustle for new projects and a lack of predictability in revenue flow. It became clear that structuring the business model to offer monthly recurring services would have resulted in a more sustainable and scalable venture. The transition to a SaaS model not only offers a more predictable revenue stream but also enhances the overall business valuation. By providing customers with a monthly recurring value, businesses can build a membership-like engagement, ensuring a steady flow of revenue and a loyal customer base.

Do you dream of a life where money flows in, even while you sleep? In this solo episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, we're diving into a topic that can set you on the path to financial freedom. This was inspired by none other than Mr. Pat Flynn, a friend and recent guest on the Happy Hustle Podcast. Pat is the guru of smart passive income, and our conversation got me thinking about the various ways one can create income streams that practically run on autopilot. Now, I say "almost" passive because, let's be real, you'll need to put in some elbow grease initially to set them up. But once the wheels are turning, you can sit back, relax, and watch the magic happen. These income streams can grant you more creative freedom, time freedom, and of course, that sweet, sweet financial freedom.Here are the 14 almost passive income streams that can change your life:Online Courses: Share your expertise and knowledge by creating online courses. Once they're up and running, they can generate income while you sip your morning coffee.Recurring Memberships: Build a loyal community with recurring membership models. Your tribe pays monthly for valuable content or services.Affiliates: Partner with companies and promote their products. Earn a commission for every sale made through your unique affiliate link.Sponsorships: If you have a blog, podcast, or YouTube channel, companies may pay you to endorse their products or services. Real Estate: Consider rental income or Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to profit from property investments.Dividend Stocks: Invest in stocks that pay dividends. Your portfolio can turn into a dividend-producing cash cow.SaaS (Software as a Service): Create and sell software or apps that provide solutions to specific problems. Subscriptions can lead to steady income.YouTube Channel: Turn your passion into profits by starting a YouTube channel. Ad revenue and sponsorships can roll in once you build an audience.Revenue Share in Business: Invest in businesses and get a share of the profits. It's like owning a piece of the pie without the day-to-day hassles.Royalties: If you're a creative genius, royalties from your music, books, or inventions can provide a continuous stream of income.Interest from Savings & Bonds: Put your money to work in savings accounts or bonds. They may not make you rich overnight, but they'll steadily grow your wealth.Franchise Ownership: Invest in a franchise business. Once it's up and running, you can let the managers handle the daily operations.Automated Drop Shipping: Set up an e-commerce business with drop shipping. After the initial setup, automated processes can handle the rest.Email Lists: Build a mailing list of engaged subscribers. You can earn by promoting products, services, or your own valuable content.These 14 almost passive income streams have the potential to transform your financial reality. So, what are you waiting for? It's time to take action and start building your path to financial freedom.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/cary__jack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustlebook.com/Sign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course http://www.thehappyhustle.com/JourneyApply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://caryjack.com/montana“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode sponsor Are you tired of lying awake at night, burdened by endless thoughts and worries about your upcoming day?
