What if your next customer isn't a person, but an AI agent acting on their behalf? And what if that agent is evaluating your brand on a purely logical, data-driven basis, completely devoid of the emotional hooks your marketing has always relied on?Agility requires not just adapting to changing customer behaviors, but also redefining who—or what—our customer even is. It demands that we build operational and strategic frameworks that can cater to both human emotional drivers and the cold, hard logic of machines.Today, we are at Forrester CX in New York City, and we're going to talk about a fundamental shift in the customer journey: the rise of the AI agent as an influential, and in some cases, decision-making persona. This isn't just about using AI in our marketing; it's about marketing to AI. We'll explore what it means when our brand's message needs to be optimized not just for human perception, but for machine interpretation and evaluation.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Chuck Gahun, Principal Analyst at Forrester.

What if the most common point of failure in your digital customer experience: the 'no results found' page, could become your greatest opportunity for conversion and discovery?Agility requires not just adopting new technologies, but fundamentally rethinking core customer interactions, like search, that have remained static for far too long. It demands a shift from rigid rules to responsive, intelligent systems that learn from and adapt to customer intent in real time.Today, we're going to talk about the evolution of on-site search. For years, it's been a functional, yet often frustrating, utility for customers. But with advancements in AI, it's transforming from a simple keyword-matching tool into a conversational discovery engine that can anticipate intent and drive a more intelligent customer experience.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Nitin Mangtani, GM and EVP of Agentforce Commerce at Salesforce.About Nitin MangtaniAbout Nitin MangtaniI am EVP & GM at Salesforce leading the Commerce Cloud and Retail Cloud team.

What if the marketing funnel, the foundational model we've relied on for decades, is fundamentally flawed and actively misleading us about what our customers actually want?Agility requires not just reacting quickly, but reacting with intelligence, which is impossible when your customer data is telling you the wrong story.Today, we're going to talk about the shift from legacy metrics to a more intelligent, unified view of the customer.

On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis are joined by The Athletic's NHL Draft expert Corey Pronman to preview the 2026 NHL Draft and break down the Blackhawks' options with the No. 4 overall pick. Pronman explains why several players occupied his No. 1 spot throughout the season and why he ultimately ranked defenseman Chase Reid barely ahead of consensus top prospect Gavin McKenna in his final rankings. He also discusses the five players he has in his Tier 1 rankings. If the top three forwards are off the board, should the Blackhawks feel comfortable selecting Reid despite already having two high-end right-shot defense prospects in Artyom Levshunov and Sam Rinzel? Could Reid ultimately be the best of the trio? And is McKenna truly a lock to go No. 1 overall or could there be a surprise at the top of the draft? The conversation also turns to Ivar Stenberg, who has been mocked to the Blackhawks by many analysts. How realistic is that scenario, and how does Pronman expect the top of the draft to unfold? He also shares his NHL comparable for Stenberg. Plus, if San Jose selects a defenseman at No. 2 and Vancouver is deciding between Stenberg and Caleb Malhotra at No. 3, would the Canucks really choose Malhotra, as some reports suggest? Pronman explains what fueled Malhotra's rise into the top-five conversation. Finally, Pronman weighs in on the dramatic transformation of the Blackhawks' prospect pipeline, from one of the NHL's weakest just four years ago to arguably its deepest since GM Kyle Davidson launched the rebuild in 2022. Pat and Charlie close out the episode by reacting to Pronman's insights before discussing the fallout from NHL insider Frank Seravalli's report on Connor Bedard's contract negotiations from last week's episode and explaining why Blackhawks fans shouldn't be concerned.

More Retirement Alerts - Social Security running out again.... - Less that 10 year until the reserves are exhausted - The Social Security Administration's newly released 2026 Trustees Report confirms that the federal retirement safety net is less than seven years away from fiscal depletion, as the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) trust fund will completely exhaust its accumulated reserves in the fourth quarter of 2032. - Once the reserve dries up, ongoing tax revenues will cover only 78% of scheduled retirement benefits, according to the report. - Some of the blame is being laid on the OBBBA with higher standard deductions and lower taxes on SS Benefits - "The OBBBA also adds a temporary additional standard deduction for taxpayers over age 65," it says. "As a result, less income tax will be paid on Social Security benefits, and the OASI and DI Trust Funds will receive lower levels of revenue in the future from income taxation of Social Security benefits."

Monday Markets - 5:45PM Sunday night we see an announcement that there is a Deal! - Why 5:45PM???????? - Futures rally, oil drops - This is just days after the market already surged after a Truth Social post last Thursday that said that the US will "soon" sign a deal with IRAN ---- That pushed up markets quite a bit too - Buy the rumor and buy the news... Reality Check - Thursday: Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that “we have a deal that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” - Monday: 60-day period delay to continue discussions of nuclear issues - Is there a sucker in all of this? $ for IRAN - Supposedly there i some deal... - A $300 billion private fund designed ?to trigger investment into Iran is outlined in the U.S.-Iran framework agreement and more than half that sum has already been committed, a source with ?direct knowledge of the deal told Reuters. - The fund is designed to give both sides an economic incentive to conclude a final deal, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan has not yet been announced as Washington and Tehran prepare to sign on Friday. SpaceX - IPO - Finally! $135 per share - Rose to $160+/- on the debut day - Rather smooth process and very orderly - A total of $85B was raised - due to an add-on additional green-shoe that was allowed ($10B) for institutions. - Rose another $20% on Monday - Retail got about 20% of the deal (down from 30%) Oracle - Oracle Corp. shares declined after the company reported quarterly capital expenses that were higher than estimates, raising investor concerns about the profitability of the AI infrastructure business. - The company expects to spend about $70 billion on net capital expenditures in the current fiscal year, and plans to raise another $40 billion in equity and debt. - Oracle's cloud infrastructure business gained 93% to $5.8 billion, and total cloud revenue is projected to jump about 61% in the quarter ending in August. - The increase of $5B over the course of the year was disconcerting to investors. - Shares dropped the most in over 6 months on the news CPI and PPI - May CPI was mixed but generally cooler on the core reading, with headline CPI up 0.5% month-over-month, matching consensus, while Core CPI rose 0.2%, below the 0.3% consensus and below Briefing's 0.4% estimate. - The softer core CPI reading suggests some easing in underlying consumer inflation pressures, which is the more constructive part of the inflation picture. - May PPI was firmer than expected on the headline reading, with PPI up 1.1% versus 0.7% consensus and 0.8% Briefing estimate, matching the prior month's revised 1.1% pace. - Core PPI rose 0.4%, matching consensus and coming in below the prior month's revised 0.7%, indicating wholesale inflation remained elevated but did not accelerate further on the core measure. - Taken together, the CPI and PPI reports point to a mixed inflation backdrop: consumer-level core inflation looked somewhat better, but producer-level price pressures remained sticky. Cyberdyne - Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, a Mythos-class model that will be available to its enterprise customers and paid subscribers. - The company unveiled Mythos in April and has limited the rollout because of its advanced cybersecurity capabilities. - Anthropic said Claude Fable 5?s broad release is possible because of new safeguards that block responses in specific high-risk areas. - WAIT! The US government PULLED the plug on Mythos and Fable for any foreign national - From Anthropic - The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Anthropic models will not be affected. OpenAi - Confidentially flies for IPO - Sends financials and IPO materials to regulators - making sue all in good order. - This allows the company to iron out accounting, compliance, and regulatory issues in private without triggering a "media circus" or alerting competitors to their financials Last Friday..... - Nonfarm payrolls jumped a seasonally adjusted 172,000 for the period, down slightly from the upwardly revised 179,000 in April and far above the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 80,000. - The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, as expected. - Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% for the month and were up 3.4% over the past year, both in line with the Wall Street consensus.

Growing your own machinists and orchestrating robots across four continents, is this what the future of manufacturing looks like? This live episode from Hapa's Brewing in the Bay Area features two panels of people who have built careers at the intersection of mechatronics, automation, and industrial innovation. First up, Vinod, Kevin, and Adam get into what it takes to build a skilled workforce from the ground up, talking about apprenticeships, college partnerships, and growing your own talent in-house. Then we get into the bigger picture with our founder panel Kim, Glenn, Nick, and Florian on what Silicon Valley gets wrong about manufacturing, and what manufacturers are missing by not paying closer attention to what's being built there. In this episode, find out: How Vinod bootstrapped an automation company in the Bay Area while raising a family and why his wife had something to do with it What Kevin learned from a 3-year German apprenticeship that he thinks more US manufacturers should be paying attention to How Adam solved his machinist shortage by bringing the training programme in-house and partnering with a local college How Kim thinks about leading companies through inflection points when there are no guardrails or safety nets Why Glenn believes manufacturers who aren't paying attention to what's being built around them won't even know when it's too late How Nick's B2C background completely changed the way he thinks about building software for frontline manufacturing workers Why Florian ignored his investors and opened a public-facing robotics storefront on the main street of Mountain View Enjoying the show?

In those youthful days of holding down two jobs, she also wrote comedy acts and had one-act plays produced at the famed Playwrights Horizon. Once, she even ghostwrote a book on how to run an employment agency. She learned more about that business than she ever cared to know.She is the award-winning author of The Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries, Persephone Cole Vintage Mysteries, and several standalones. Her proudest award, however, is for Murder under the Big Top, winner of the Silver IPPY Best Mystery/thriller. As daughter of real-life Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus folk, she used her mother's intimate knowledge of the golden age of the circus to create this standalone noir mystery.Heather has been married to singer/musician Norm Meister for forty-plus years. He sung his way into her heart. They currently live in the foothills of San Jose with their two cats, Daphne and Niles, and an orange tree.Website: https://heatherhavenstories.com/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/heather.haven.5/*****************About SinCSisters in Crime (SinC) was founded in 1986 to promote the ongoing advancement, recognition and professional development of women crime writers.

What if the pain you've been trying to escape is actually the fuel you've been looking for? Recording artist Ben Barbic walked away from alcohol, nicotine, and blood pressure medications at 28 — and built a 15-year operating system for resilience.In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD sits down with Ben Barbic — chart-climbing reggae and hip-hop recording artist, San Jose-based studio owner of Where Dreams Sail Studios, and author of the new memoir Rise and Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain (Skyhorse Publishing / Simon & Schuster, October 15). They talk about the night his childhood home burned down, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that destroyed his family's second house, the teddy bear from his young son that triggered his sobriety pivot, the redwood-tree metaphor on the book cover, kirtan and chakra meditation as his entry point to a calmer mind, and how very small daily choices — a single five-minute habit — compound into a completely different life.CHAPTERS:00:00 — Introduction01:08 — Meet Ben Barbic: Recording Artist, Author, and Self-Builder02:00 — Childhood Trauma: When the House Burned Down03:00 — The 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake and the Power of Rebuilding04:01 — Why Music Became His First Anchor as a Child05:02 — The 28th Birthday Pivot: Walking Away from Alcohol and Nicotine06:02 — The Subtraction-Then-Addition Method for Habit Change07:03 — Quitting Blood Pressure Medications and Treating the Root Cause09:04 — The Teddy Bear Moment: How His Son Triggered the Pivot12:04 — Why Tiny Five-Minute Habits Beat Big Resolutions14:05 — The First Three Habits He Added After Sobriety17:07 — Kirtan and Chakra Meditation: A Beginner's Path19:08 — Music, Memory, and the Brain's Storytelling Pathways24:09 — Writing a Memoir: The Hardest Part Is Vulnerability27:10 — Three Lessons for Self-Builders and High Performers30:11 — The Redwood Tree Metaphor on the Book Cover31:11 — Victim Mindset vs Agency: How to Reframe Adversity32:11 — Redefining Success: From Catching Up to Contributing36:12 — The Empty-Nest Pivot and the Next 5 Years38:13 — Final Thoughts: Pursue What Gives You PurposeKEY TAKEAWAYS:Subtract before you add — remove the drainers first, then layer in new habits.Hypertension is rarely solved by stacking more meds — change the upstream inputs and the numbers follow.The pivot moment usually has a single concrete trigger.Five minutes is enough — compounding does the rest.Kirtan plus chakra meditation is a friendly entry point for musicians.Redwood trees regrow tall around old burn scars.Define success by what you can contribute, not by who you can catch up to.LINKS & SOURCES:Rise and Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain by Ben BarbicBen's music catalog1989 Loma Prieta earthquake background

In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Stephen Caines, Chief Innovation Officer and Budget Director at the City of San Jose, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is reshaping city government, public services, and the workforce at one of America's most technologically ambitious cities.Stephen shares his unconventional path from pre-med at Case Western to digital privacy law at the University of Miami, a Stanford fellowship researching surveillance AI ethics, and ultimately landing at San Jose's Mayor's Office where he now leads both innovation strategy and the city's budget. From there, the conversation dives into how San Jose is positioning itself as the AI-first city in the nation, leveraging proximity to Adobe, Cisco, Zoom, Nvidia, Apple, and Google to advance meaningful community-level change.The discussion explores the city's AI for All initiative, a public-private partnership with Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI to provide free AI education to residents and city employees alike. Stephen walks through the city's dual-track upskilling program, its approach to employee training that is purposely non-mandatory, and how San Jose is balancing top-down innovation mandates with bottom-up experimentation.Boaz and Stephen also dig into real-world deployments: object detection cameras on fleet vehicles that proactively identify potholes and road hazards before residents report them, AI translation tools expanding Spanish and Vietnamese participation in city council meetings, and the 311 customer service redesign aimed at reducing resident burden while improving satisfaction. Stephen is candid about the ROI question, how to distinguish pilots worth operationalizing from ones that generate noise without value and the long-term financial risks of AI infrastructure built on VC-subsidized pricing.The episode closes with a discussion of the GovAI Coalition, a San Jose-founded network now spanning over 900 public agencies, and Stephen's two-word vision for the future of work: chronic adaptability.Chapters[00:00] From Pre-Med to Chief Innovation Officer: Stephen's Career Journey[04:12] San Jose as the AI-First City: Population, Geography, and the Lean City Challenge[07:49] Proximity as Advantage: Partnering with Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and Nvidia[08:23] AI for All: Free Community Education and In-Person Training Sessions[11:10] Upskilling City Employees: Voluntary Training, Two Tracks, and Retention Strategy[14:38] Balancing Top-Down and Bottom-Up Innovation[16:14] The 311 Network and Customer Service Vision: A 360-Degree View of the Resident[17:13] Object Detection on Fleet Vehicles: Proactive Pothole and Road Hazard Detection[19:34] Surprising Community Feedback and the Case for Keeping Humans at the Front Door[22:04] ROI in Government: How to Evaluate Pilots and Decide What Gets Operationalized[24:24] The Hidden Costs of AI: Staffing Realignment, Drone Programs, and VC Subsidies[26:14] Building Infrastructure You Own: The Road Safety Images Database[27:24] The GovAI Coalition: 900 Public Agencies, Shared Contracts, and Peer Learning[32:04] The Future of Work in Cities: Chronic Adaptability and the Individual JourneyConnect with Stephen CainesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-caines/City of San Jose Innovation Hub: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/information-technology/city-innovation/it-innovation-hubConnect with the GovAI CoalitionWebsite: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/information-technology/ai-reviews-algorithm-register/govai-coalitionConnect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

Nearly every marketing leader has been told to "do more with AI" — and many of them are now sitting on a pile of pilots, a growing bill, and not much to show their CFO. So why is it that adoption of AI in marketing is so high, while the number of organizations actually getting predictable returns from it is so low?Agility requires the discipline to reimagine how work gets done before automating it — because pointing AI at a broken process just produces a faster broken process.Today, we're going to talk about:- Why so many enterprise AI initiatives stall between ambition and production, and what separates the organizations that succeed from the ones that quietly cancel their projects- How marketing and CX teams can move from disconnected experiments to a governed, agent-powered operating model that turns a brief into live 1:1 engagement- How to make the economics of AI predictable — so the people approving these investments can actually forecast both outcomes and costTo help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Don Schuerman, CTO & Head of Marketing at Pega. About Don Schuerman As CTO and Vice President of Marketing & Technology Strategy at Pegasystems, I see my role as being a "Chief Translation Officer" – bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world business value.

My approach to technology leadership has been shaped by an unexpected source: 20 years of improv comedy at ImprovBoston's Mainstage. The skills I honed there – active listening, storytelling, and thinking on my feet – now help me connect with both technical teams and business leaders. It's where I also met my wife, proving that sometimes the best partnerships form when you say "yes, and..." At Pega, I lead the intersection of technology and go-to-market strategy across our enterprise AI decisioning and workflow automation platform.

What if the future of marketing isn't about creating better campaigns, but about designing intelligent agents that render campaigns obsolete?Agility requires not just adapting to new technologies, but fundamentally re-architecting our operating models to harness their potential. Today, we're going to talk about the move from personalization to agentic experiences and what that means for enterprise marketing.We'll cover:- How “agentic experiences” are moving beyond simple personalization to fundamentally change the economics of customer acquisition and retention.- The shift in talent and technology required, moving from managing campaigns to orchestrating AI agents across the customer journey.- The practical first steps for building an “agentic foundation” within a complex enterprise environment, focusing on governance and core systems.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Kathleen Managing Director of Marketing and Anuj Mathur, Managing Director of CX Transformation at BrillioAbout Kathleen Ulrich Kathleen Ulrich is Managing Director of Marketing at Brillio, where she leads the company's global marketing strategy and brand growth.

As brands invest billions in AI to personalize the customer experience, are they inadvertently creating a more transactional, less human relationship with their most valuable customers?Agility requires not just the rapid adoption of AI-based solutions, but the wisdom to know when and how to apply them to enhance—without replacing—the human element of the customer relationship.Today, we're going to talk about:- The growing disconnect between what AI-powered loyalty programs deliver and what discerning consumers actually value.- Practical strategies for using AI to understand non-transactional signals and create more meaningful customer interactions.- How to evolve measurement beyond simple engagement metrics to quantify the strength of genuine brand affinity.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jaclyn Wands, VP of Product & AI at Phaedon.

Recorded in front of a live audience at The California Theatre in San Jose on Tuesday 9 June 2026, special guests Joanna Stern and Nilay Patel join John Gruber to discuss Apple's announcements at WWDC 2026.

What if the biggest risk of AI in marketing isn't about job replacement, but about creating more fragmented, siloed work?Agility requires more than just adopting new tools; it demands a fundamental rethinking of how teams collaborate and orchestrate work. When a technology like AI promises to accelerate individual tasks, true agility means ensuring that acceleration translates into collective momentum, not organizational friction.Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond the hype of AI experimentation and into the reality of its operational impact on marketing teams. We'll explore what happens when AI graduates from being a personal productivity tool to becoming an integrated part of a team's workflow, and how that shift changes everything from campaign execution to the very structure of marketing itself.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Prachi Gore, CMO at Asana.
