Summary In this engaging conversation, Chad Burmeister and Steve Brown explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on various aspects of life and work. They discuss the concept of augmented intelligence, the empowering nature of AI, and how it is reshaping customer experiences. The dialogue delves into the emergence of AI agents as digital employees, the importance of adapting to new technologies, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI deployment. Steve emphasizes the need for individuals to invest in their own AI skills and humanity to remain relevant in the evolving job landscape. The conversation concludes with a call for broader discussions on the future of AI and its governance. Takeaways AI should be viewed as augmented intelligence, not a replacement. AI empowers individuals to perform tasks more efficiently. There's an ongoing arms race between buyers and sellers using AI. AI agents can serve as digital employees for various tasks. Individuals need to adapt and become managers of AI tools. Investing in AI skills is crucial for job security. Human skills like negotiation and relationship-building remain vital. AI can enhance creativity and decision-making capabilities. Collaboration between humans and AI can lead to innovative solutions. Ethical governance in AI deployment is essential for a positive future.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The thing I think I love most about the hobby of amateur radio is the challenges it represents, not in terms of life or emotional ones, though I will admit that there's some of those .. in no small part due to the variety and complexity associated with being human and a member of the community, more in terms of figuring out how stuff works and then how much stuff there is. I was first licensed in 2010 and since then I've attempted to document the experience of being an amateur and discovering just what that might mean. This week has been interesting, if not quite as productive as I was hoping for. I spent a full day working on SoapyAudio, you might recall, it's one of the potential puzzle pieces in my Bald Yak project. I can report that it compiles fine on a Raspberry Pi 2, and when I get a moment I suspect that it will also work just fine on a Pi Zero. When I got to the point of packaging it all up, I spent hours trying to get my head around the Debian packaging system. For reasons I don't understand, nobody appears to have written anything that monitors the standard 'make install' step, save for one project called 'checkinstall' which has some serious bugs, like overwriting the system password file, and is not recommended. While in the middle of that adventure I discovered that SoapySDR and associated modules, utilities and support tools are already packaged in Debian. I'll confess that I emulated a stunned mullet when I noticed that. While this might mean that I essentially spent three days shaving a Yak for apparently no good reason, it did allow me to discover that SoapyAudio is currently receive only, but adding transmit doesn't look like an unsolvable problem. I still don't know why I went down the compilation steps but it allowed me to peruse the source-code which helped discover how some of this hangs together and I'll hasten to add that my understanding is currently incomplete at best, but that's par for the course. After discovering the existing packaging I installed 'soapyremote-server' on the Pi and it worked out of the box .. something which I'm happy to say is a regular occurrence with Debian packages, perhaps this is why packaging is so complex, another thing to investigate as time permits. I then added an external USB sound card with the audio going into the rear DATA socket of my FT-857d, and together with the CT-62 compatible USB CAT cable, that's Computer Assisted Tuning, allowing remote control of the radio, the Pi was ready to be the network interface to my copy of GNU Radio. Well, not quite. There's some secret incantations that I have still to divine, but thanks to random forum posts with hints at how to format the command string required, I'm making progress. GNU Radio can see the Soapy Server, has passed the checks to control the radio, which happens behind the scenes thanks to Hamlib, but stumbles on the audio card side of things. If it weren't for other life affirming activities in my diary, I would be reporting success, but I can tell you that I can taste it. Now, why does this make me excited? Well, it means that I can now use my FT-857d across the room, technically across the Internet even, to receive and process RF within GNU Radio. You might recall that this is one of the stated aims of this whole endeavour. In terms of "50 things to do with an SDR", this one will end up in the "Listen to conversations on the 2-meter amateur radio band" pile. While it's not particularly exciting to listen to the local repeater across the room, something which I can do by turning up the volume or getting a long headphone lead, it represents a small milestone in the pursuit of my Bald Yak project which aims to create a modular, bidirectional and distributed signal processing and control system that leverages GNU Radio. It's called Bald Yak because by the time I'm done, the Yak is likely well and truly shaved. So .. micron by micron I'm getting closer. Also, "like a stunned mullet" means to be dazed and uncomprehending, feel free to use it in public. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Dan interviews John Karsant, founder of Level Up Leads, a 73-person outsourced SDR agency doing about $6.5M/year revenue, built while living abroad (Argentina, now Barcelona). John shares how he found remote work early via Craigslist, then spun out a list-building service that nearly failed due to one-off sales before pivoting into full appointment setting—eventually cold calling, which raised value, doubled average sale while keeping churn steady, and enabled $15K–$20K/month packages. He explains why radical honesty wins deals, how a strong ops leader and an in-house client dashboard improved transparency, and which metrics matter most (dial-to-connect, meetings booked, show rate, and pipeline movement). In this episode: John discusses hiring ahead of the curve How he compensates reps based on client retention The decline of email outreach John's inbound engine that drives 80–90% of leads Practical AI uses for role play training, transcript analysis, playbooks, and script generation The value of an experienced CEO coach John's approach to investing and family life Thanks to this week's sponsor Wayfront — the AI-ready operating system for productized agencies.

According to research by Salesforce, 86% of business buyers are more likely to buy if companies understand their goals, and nowhere is that statistic truer than in the nonprofit sector. So, how do you ensure that your sellers are ready to show up the right way for every buyer? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic are Carly Foerster, principal enablement manager, and Conner Smith, mid-market account executive at GoFundMe. Conner, Carly, thank you so much for joining us. We’re super excited to have you here today. As we’re kicking off, I’d love if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Carly Foerster: First and foremost, I just want to say thank you so much for having us on here. We are honored as always to work with Highspot and to be featured—how exciting for us. So, my name is Carly Foerster, as you just shared. I am on our revenue enablement team over here at GoFundMe. I’ve actually been here for almost 10 years now, so about a decade of experience with this team, and one fun fact is that I started on the actual sales frontline side at one point way back in the day, which meant that I was working directly with our nonprofit organizations. I share that because it’s really helped shape how I think about enablement today. I’ve been in that seat. I’ve been where Conner is. I’ve worked and navigated really complex and unique buying cycles here. And what’s really kept me with this team is our mission. It’s this incredible mission to help people help each other, and I also have this incredible opportunity to partner with purpose-driven individuals, just like Conner. You’ve brought the right person on the call here today. It’s been such a privilege to work with these incredible nonprofits and help drive real impact in this world. And one of my favorite parts is I’m still learning every single day, so I hope that I learn something through this podcast. And with that, the person I’m probably going to learn from is Conner, so I’ll toss it to you. Conner Smith: Yeah, Riley, thanks so much for having us on. I’m Conner. I’m a mid-market account executive here at GoFundMe, and I sell fundraising software for nonprofits called GoFundMe Pro, which is the artist formerly known as Classy. It’s the entire arm of GoFundMe that specializes in helping nonprofits just raise more for their missions. I got into sales about four years ago after being a pastor for four years, actually, so I navigated a pretty significant career shift when I went from leading a nonprofit to selling windows, then while I was selling windows, I learned about tech sales and had to go Google what SaaS was and what an SDR was and what an AE was and all those things. I learned and realized, “Okay, I think this is a pretty good path to success and the lifestyle that I’m looking to build.” So I entered as an SDR back in 2023 and quickly moved into an AE role that I then leveraged just a few months after that to ultimately land a spot here at GoFundMe. And it’s really been a great fit because I know the nonprofit world pretty well, and now I get to meld my nonprofit and sales experience together to really help amplify the impact of nonprofits by giving them the tools they need to, like I said, raise more money for their missions. The cherry on top? I get to work with and learn from pros like Carly. RR: You know, I was going to say that was a great introduction to have to follow, and you smashed it. You guys both—those were incredible introductions. I’m super excited to dig into all of this experience that you just kind of high-level skated across. I think there’s a lot to talk about, and I hope a lot to learn. One thing that you both touched on and that is very apparent throughout both of your career journeys is this shared love for continuous ongoing learning and self-development. Can you talk to me about where that mindset comes from for you, and then how it shows up in your work? Conner, I’ll toss it to you to start us off. CS: Yeah. I mean, going back, in my previous role in the nonprofit space, learning was a big part of that. You had to wear a whole lot of different hats, and so learning on the fly was a regular part of the job. I think that’s where it comes from for me. But then coming into sales from a different background, I didn’t really have a playbook either. I had to learn fast. I had to learn through trial and error, through feedback, and through a whole lot of mess-ups and failure. And I think that mindset really shows up now in really practical ways. For me, that looks like things like call recordings and listening to those on a regular basis, looking at engagement data, experimenting with different approaches, and not being afraid to fail. You need to be quick to fail. I had a manager tell me that early on, and I think that was some of the best advice I got. Just get out there and do it. Don’t be afraid of failure because it’s the quickest way to learn. RR: Yeah, and that’s fantastic advice. And I think you built the learning muscle because you had to, and now it’s stuck, and that’s just how you continually improve over time, so I love to hear that. Carly, what about you? CF: Yeah, absolutely. Love learning. We’re big learning fans over here, and Conner, I was going to say, I love that mindset. I think you and I have talked about this, this sentiment of fail fast, fail hard, learn quick, right? That’s a huge part of what we understand as the learning process here. For me in particular, I’m going to take this on a little bit of a personal journey. So one thing you should know about me is that I have very strong core values personally, one of which is to always be learning. So this is really at the heart and core of who I am as a person. I’ve always had this real natural curiosity in life. I yearn to do and see and experience everything that I can, and I think it’s that sort of innate drive that makes me want to keep growing, to really have that growth mindset. A couple things I wanted to share from a sales lens first. Back when I was a rep, one of my biggest learnings, since Conner shared a few, was that if I were to look around and see who was the most successful on the team, what I could tell you is that the most successful people were not always the ones that had the answers right away. It was often the people who were asking another question, better understanding what they were trying or being asked to do, and then adapting real quick. When I think about our role in enablement now, where that shows up is really how we build our programs. So we focus on the fact that we’re not creating static systems. We’re not creating one-and-done trainings. We’re trying to create systems that are constantly evolving. We try to. We’re not perfect at it, but that is the end game for us. We’re constantly looking at what’s working, what’s not, how we can iterate. Conner even called out a couple of things. We’re looking at recording data, information from Highspot through reporting and analytics to help inform what that looks like. RR: Learning doesn’t always have to be external. Sometimes it’s asking that question of yourself every single day, “How can I be that little bit better? What can I do a little bit differently to serve my customers, to serve my nonprofit partners that little bit better?” And I think that is such an important mindset shift to just be open to that question. On the topic of growth, Carly, you’ve mentioned a couple times that you started your journey at GoFundMe as a seller. So, having experienced the nonprofit space from both angles, both the sales and the enablement side, what obstacles do you find that your sellers most often encounter now that you are in this place to help them through it? CF: Great question, Riley, and it’s something we’re thinking about every day, right—how can we overcome barriers and friction in our sales process so that we can better support and serve our customers? I think one of the biggest challenges that I learned very early on as a rep and continue to hone in on as an enablement professional in our specific sector is that we’re a little bit off the beaten path from what it means to be in a traditional sales role. It’s because we’re not just selling a product, we’re actually partnering with organizations that are deeply mission-driven. They are incredibly thoughtful about every single cent, every single dollar that they invest, and that’s rightfully so, because so many of the nonprofits we work with are supporting critical solutions for some of the biggest problems in this world. So they have to think about every single dollar that they invest. And so for us, what this sometimes translates into is longer sales cycles, a higher bar for trust. So we are designing our enablement program around those realities. We’re helping reps to tell as clear of a story as possible, to help personalize our outreach at scale, and to use tools like Digital Rooms through Highspot to create this really thoughtful, almost through-line experience during that deal cycle. At the end of the day, I would almost position it as transitioning from selling to serving. We are here to support nonprofits through this decision to show how we can partner and then to prove ourselves as a partner when they become customers. RR: You know, I think something that comes through as the through line of all of this, just listening to you both speak about your work and the passion that you have for it, is just how important it is to work for a mission-driven organization. That can inspire you to ask those questions of yourself every day and to improve a little bit so you can be a better partner, and you can be a true partner that helps these incredible organizations deliver real, real impact in the world. CS: You’re absolutely right. The way Carly and I even first got connected was I was just a couple weeks into my job, and one of the first things she does is like, “Hey, we need somebody to volunteer for the Ronald McDonald House here in San Diego.” And my son stayed at a Ronald McDonald House, or we stayed there while my son was in the hospital shortly after he was born, so it’s a cause that’s near and dear to my heart. And so that’s how we got connected, was partnering together to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. And there are so many people like that in this company. And so it makes it really fun to do work with people that just truly believe in helping people and working with organizations that are out there curing cancer, ending homelessness, making sure there’s no dogs left behind in the shelters. It’s just incredible work. It really is very, very life-giving. RR: Working with great people doing great work, that’s kind of the dream. So I love that you guys have it. We’re in such a positive place right now. And now I’m going to shuffle us back to a negative place. So sorry, we’re switching gears here. Conner, you mentioned that it’s been a little bit of a journey through sales, selling windows to now selling SaaS and so on and so forth. Knowing that you made that career shift relatively recently and have sold in that time for a handful of different organizations, when you think back to those roles where you didn’t have a platform like Highspot and you didn’t have the support of someone amazing like Carly, what was most difficult for you? CS: I think probably the hardest part is the disconnectedness, the fragmentation that it was. You don’t really necessarily know where to go to get all the information that you might need to help a customer. And so you’re pulling content from different places. You’re not always sure what’s up to date. You’re spending a lot of time doing admin work instead of actually engaging with the buyer, with the prospect, and that creates friction. I mean, time kills all deals, and we want to make sure we’re getting right back to them immediately. Their causes are important. They don’t have a lot of time to just be spending looking at software. They have an important mission that they’re trying to raise money for, and so we don’t want there to be that friction. And in other places I’ve worked, there always was kind of that friction, and not just for the rep, but for the buyer. And so you might send multiple emails, multiple attachments. There’s not really this one clear, concise location to go to get what you need. And what tools like Highspot solve, and I loved it, and I got it on day one starting here at the company, is it’s not just organization, it’s clarity and it’s consistency, and it lets you focus more on the conversation and less on the logistics. And so that’s made a huge difference in moving our deal cycles along. RR: So Conner, I know you’re in sales, but I don’t think you needed to sell us that well. That’s everything that we want to hear—that the vision that we’re hoping to deliver is actually showing up in your day-to-day, so that’s fantastic, and I want to dig more into that. But before we do, Carly, I’d love it if you could give us an overview of the environment that you’ve got going on and that you’ve been building for the last couple years at GoFundMe. So, today—and this is a crazy number—97% of your reps are using external shares and Digital Rooms in their workflows. I need to reiterate again, that is a crazy number. 97% is near unanimous. So how did you make that motion stick, and what has that changed when you look at how your sellers connect with your partners? CF: Yeah. Well, all credit goes to me, first and foremost. No, I’m just joking. I actually truly want to put the credit back on our reps. That is our sales team, our customer experience reps, everyone who is frontline working with customers. This is not success that is necessarily an enablement win. It is a win of us collectively, that we have found such an incredible product, and we’re using it in the right ways. How we got to that number, right? Our success was in how intentional we were in rolling this out. I would say this is one of our best use cases and how we implemented Digital Rooms with this team. We didn’t just position them as another tool for folks to use. We positioned it as a better way to serve our customers, and for Conner and his work on the sales team, serve our prospects who we are, of course, trying to convince to become customers of ours. I think practicality is one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in enablement. It’s not just being theoretical and conceptual. You actually have to make it practical for the team. So, what that looked like for us is we actually embedded it directly into our sales process. We built templates with key stakeholders on our team—Conner would be an example of one of those key stakeholders—we had other voices contribute to what these Digital Rooms would look like, how we would use them, and then we made it extremely easy to adopt. And once reps started to see that they could replace multiple follow-ups, those emails with 50 links in them that we’re hoping and expecting people to click on, right? You put it all in one single source that looks beautiful, it’s clean, it’s curated, it’s dynamic, and actually see how the buyers were engaging with that content. The light bulbs went on for everyone pretty quickly of how powerful this could be. And I want to spotlight Digital Rooms in particular for our handoff process, from when our sales team brings on a new customer, we’re all excited, we celebrate together, and then we try and create the most seamless handoff to their onboarding experience and on into their work with our customer experience teams. We actually created a series of Digital Rooms specifically for the onboarding pathways so that a rep like Conner would simply have to go in, find the right template, do a couple little customizations, but he already had the package to send to a customer, which we knew were the exact steps they need to take to be successful in those critical first three weeks, four weeks with us. It has been truly a joint partnership, a collaborative effort to get these up off the ground and to see results like 97%. RR: There’s kind of two components to it, which was make it easy, make it accessible, and then the second piece is kind of that classic enablement foundation of make it matter, make it meaningful. And back to the point of great people doing great work, you have a team of folks that just want to make life easier for their partners, and you’ve given them a tool to do so. Why wouldn’t they adopt it? That all makes perfect sense, and I mean, you can see it in the results that it’s working. CF: It’s working. I mean, even Conner spoke about the fact that we work with customers who just don’t simply have the time in their day to take minutes, even minutes, to go read through an email and try and find the right information. So if we can package that in the right way, it’s saving time for them to dedicate back towards their programs and mission, which is a win in our book. RR: Yeah, and that’s exactly how you show up as a trusted partner. You have exactly what you need. I’ve given it to you. Now go run, do what you need to do. Conner, I would love if you could walk us through how this shows up in your day-to-day. So how are you using Digital Rooms, external shares, and how is that helping you manage deals, manage conversations, take next steps? CS: I mean, first of all, I just use this literally every single day. I built a Digital Room today for a pretty high-value prospect. We had a first call. We scheduled a second call. There’s a great fit. We are going to meet quite a few different needs actually and help them move from having multiple platforms to having one platform. And so there’s a lot of different components to it, and so I wanted them to have a very singular place to go so they can get everything. So kind of the way my process works is the moment I get off a call, I’m getting my call readout, I’m starting to work on a follow-up email. And if it’s a larger, more complex deal like the one today looks like it’s probably going to be in the best possible way, I’m opening up that integration with Highspot right there from my email. I’m beginning to build or edit a Digital Room that I call an evaluation hub to my prospects. If it’s more of a simple deal, then I’m at least using the external share feature to highlight some of the items they specifically requested. Maybe that’s a one-pager, a quick case study, or something like that. And so that’s kind of how I’m using that in the day-to-day. And then on top of that, it’s also like what Carly just said, it is literally baked into our sales process. There’s no option to not send a Digital Room when it comes to the onboarding process. That is how we onboard our clients, with a Digital Room, and it has been tremendously helpful because they know where to go back to time and time again. And sometimes even months later, they know exactly where to go to get some of the resources they need to be successful with our product. Beyond that, though, I’m also using those metrics of especially those pre-sales evaluation hubs to look at the metrics as to whether they looked at those resources and how often they’ve looked at them in order to help inform where they’re at in the decision-making process of the deal, which really helps then with my forecasting and helps me look good to my managers. RR: Do you have an example of a deal where looking at that engagement data really helped you take the right next step? CS: I’m not thinking of a specific deal. I use it pretty consistently, though, just to see are they seriously looking at us? Because if they’re not in the room, then it’s pretty easy for me to tell my manager, “Hey, this might happen maybe. They haven’t poked around in here, or they looked at it once and that was it.” As opposed to another deal where I see that they’re looking at it, they’re sharing it internally. I’ve got five or six different individuals opening up this room. Well, now I know that multiple stakeholders are involved. When I go into that forecasting meeting, I have a lot more ammo to say, “There’s some real likelihood that this is moving forward. There’s some genuine interest in our platform.” RR: Yeah. That makes 100% sense. So it really does seem like from pre-sales evaluation hub all the way through to the onboarding process, you’ve found the recipe to success. Carly, one thing that you’ve shared in the past, I know you’ve spoken about this a number of times, is that your priority is to, A, help reps be successful but, B, help them be the best partner possible. So how do you ensure that that’s happening? How do you measure that, and what signals are you looking at to make sure that that’s the case? CF: I’d say for any enablement program, that is one of the strategic pillars you should be aiming for, is how do we ensure that the maximum amount of people on our team have a clear pathway to success? I want to start off by saying we are not perfect. In fact, we would never aim to be perfect. The goal is continuous improvement. And to your question of how we’re measuring that, broad strokes, I’d look at two things. It is rep confidence and business impact. So on the rep side, what we’re looking at, metrics we can track, adoption, like you said, 97%, really easy to get there if you’re baking it into the sales process. Like Conner said, not a single deal goes through without using a Digital Room, so that’s an easy way to get adoption up. We’re looking at ramp time for when a new hire comes on board to when they see their first bits of success, what that ramp looks like, productivity. On the business side, we’re looking at things like deal progression, so stage conversions, win rates. But what I would say is even more, personally, even more important than those quantitative stats is the qualitative signal. So we’re looking at things like, do our reps feel confident in what they’re doing? Let me talk to a couple reps and let’s just get a general sentiment because if reps aren’t confident, we are not going to move through stages the right way. And even beyond that, we’re looking at are they spending more time with customers, less time searching for content? That’s more specific to Highspot, right? So Conner called out, when he first started working here, just the speed at which he was able to get access to content compared to maybe his previous roles he had been in helps him to focus more time where it matters most, which is right in front of nonprofits. So when rep confidence is trending in the right direction, when we see those quantitative stats trending in the right direction, we know we’re on the right path. CS: One more little piece to that is, to give the comparison, I was so trained that if I had a question prior to my role at GoFundMe, what you do if you have a question is you go to Slack and you ping somebody, or you put it in a group channel. And then I cannot tell you the number of times Carly would pop in there and be like, “Have you checked Highspot?” Or, “Here’s the Highspot link.” And so it’s just over and over and over again. And so now I’ve been retrained. I still do it some. I’m still a little annoying in Slack, but I’ve been retrained now. CF: There is one of the greatest successes I always love, putting like a #self-enable, right? We love that. We want to build that muscle so folks know where to go and to find those answers quickly, Highspot being our main source for it. RR: I actually really like that, #self-enable. And like we talked about at the very start, learning, growth, these are the things that happen, and that’s okay. As we’re getting to the end of this, we’ve heard a little bit about the story, the levers you’re pulling, how it’s working out for you. I’d like to dig into the successes. So Carly, looking across this partnership so far, and I know it’s been kind of a long journey so far, but what are the most meaningful results you’ve seen with Highspot? Are there any key wins that you’re super proud of? CF: Yeah, so many. It’s been such a wonderful partnership, so really big thanks to you and your team. Of some of the most meaningful results, what I’ll call out is efficiency and consistency. And again, we are not perfect. We are constantly building and growing and making this better and better. But as Conner has noted a few times from that rep perspective, it’s the ability to quickly get to the content that he needs in order to better serve nonprofits. So when we first moved over to Highspot, one of the things we track and continue to track is that ratio of how long it takes for someone to find a piece of content to how long they actually spend on that piece of content, right? So things like searchability ratios, findability ratios. We’re constantly checking in on those to make sure that we are surfacing the right content in the right moment at the right time so that reps can immediately get access to what they need to. We’ve seen strong adoption. I have to give credit back to the reps again for being incredible partners with us, to let us know what they need so that we can better build programs that work for them. There’s still so much to do, but we are seeing really meaningful progress that is ultimately helping us better serve nonprofits. CS: From the field perspective, the biggest impact is just confidence and clarity. I know I’m sending the right content at the right time to the right person in the right way. It’s right. And so the engagement data, I mean, that gives me a huge advantage. It helps me prioritize deals, tailor my follow-ups. I’m ultimately able to just move opportunities forward more effectively. RR: Thinking about everything we’ve talked about, all of the benefits you guys are seeing, the way that you’re using Digital Rooms, the way that you’re engaging your buyers and delivering really strong experiences that communicate true partnership. If there’s one shift that other go-to-market teams could make this year to better serve their buyers, what would it be? And I’ll just toss that out. Whoever wants to start, feel free. CF: Well, first thing I’ll say is I’m not an expert, right? So this is just my own opinion, my own observations from the specific space that we work in. You could find, I’m sure, 100 different answers just by Googling this. What I would say is a really important shift, and this is something that I’m thankful we’ve been pretty well aware of since I started over 100 years ago at this organization, but we have to recognize that we need to design our sales process around how buyers actually want to buy. And I know that sounds so simple and, of course, so plain and easy, but it’s so surprising, and I think this is a long-standing sales mindset and journey, is we’ve always been the one to lead people through this evaluation process, and you need to fit into our sales process. And really what we’ve recognized, especially in the past decade, probably even longer than that, and especially with working with nonprofits, is that it is our job to make things as simple as possible for buyers to understand, to trust us, and to ultimately say yes and align to the way that they need to make that decision. We looked at tools like Highspot to help us create this frictionless process that aligns to how our buyers want to buy so that we both can find success together. And Conner, I’ll toss to you at that point. CS: No, I agree. Kind of going back to something you said earlier, Carly, I think it is a little bit different than your typical sales role in the fact that who we’re selling to, and I think this is the case in all sales roles, but definitely in this world, is don’t take shortcuts. I think if there’s one big shift go-to-market teams should make, you were talking about, I think that’s it. Don’t take shortcuts. People in general, all people, but I feel like people in the nonprofit space, they’re just a unique group of people. They’re in this particular line of work because they’re driven by something different. So they have different hardwiring. And so people in general, but especially that group, can feel the difference between a mass marketing campaign and genuine personalized outreach. So I heard recently this quote of, personalization at scale, it’s an oxymoron. It’s better to go deep on a handful of strategic accounts and get to know them and show them that you know them than it is to just spam someone with what you think they need. So get to know your prospects. Make sure that your outreach reflects that you know them. You know something about their organization, what they do, who they help. Nobody wants to feel like they’re getting sold to, and I think that’s especially true, again, in the nonprofit space. Many are in this line of work because they want to feel connected to the people that they’re serving, and the same goes with the people who are selling to them. RR: You each gave us two slants of kind of the same concept, which is at a broader level, you need to serve your buyers in the way that they want to be sold to, whether that’s process or whether that’s individual conversation level, speaking to a person like a person. So I think that’s both great advice, but I know we are kind of at the end of our time. So Carly, Conner, thank you so much for joining us. It’s been really wonderful to catch up and hear a little bit about your world. CF: Yeah. Thank you so much for having us. It is fun to join in on conversations like these, and hopefully you learned something. I already learned something from Conner, so here we go. CS: Yeah. It’s fun. Always be learning. ABL.RR: Perfect. To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win/Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize go-to-market success with Highspot.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Previously I've talked about a piece of software called SoapyAudio. It's part of the toolkit called SoapySDR which in turn is part of a whole ecosystem called the Pothos framework, coordinated by Pothosware, founded by Josh Blum. I'm mentioning this for two reasons, first to give credit to Josh and the many contributions he has made to the Software Defined Radio ecosystem and second, to indicate that there's several moving parts here. SoapyAudio is a module that connects an audio device, like a microphone or a speaker, more on that in a moment, to a tool called SoapySDR. This allows you to connect to that device, either directly, or over the network, from within any Soapy compatible SDR tool, like Cubic SDR, SDRangel, Quisk and SDR++ to name a few. Said differently, you can use the SoapyAudio module to pretend that your sound card is a Software Defined Radio, and use the associated SDR tools to use it. While interesting in and of itself, the idea comes into focus if you consider that you could connect your analogue radio to the sound card and now you have actual radio frequencies coming into your card, which you can use as an SDR. This works because SoapyAudio also includes Hamlib support, which in turn means that you can send commands like: Set the Frequency, or Set the Mode, to your radio using Hamlib, better yet, if you do this within your SDR software, all this happens behind the scenes. Now, before I dig in too much more, I mentioned a microphone and speaker. When you connect your radio to a computer, the microphone or line-in socket is used to receive audio from the radio, it leaves the radio and enters the computer via the microphone and gives you the ability to receive audio, alternatively, when you connect the computer speaker to the radio, it leaves the computer and enters the radio, to transmit audio. Right now I see no evidence that SoapyAudio supports the ability to transmit, and the ecosystem overview shows the module in a different location than the other radio modules. It might well transpire that none of this is going to work long-term, but the point of this is to learn how it works and to get an understanding of how data flows back and forth. Ideally, I'd end up with a module that would integrate into GNU Radio using the existing SoapySDR integration, but I'm nowhere near that, and my ongoing computing challenges keep banging me in the face, so small steps. If you're not quite sure how this is supposed to work, your radio is connected to your computer using audio in and out, as well as a serial or USB connection. The computer is running SoapyAudio which uses Hamlib to control the radio and uses SoapySDR to send and receive both control and radio signals through a tool called soapy-server, which I think will all run on a cheap Raspberry Pi which is in turn is connected to the network to another more beefy computer running GNU Radio and the SoapySDR module, allowing you to both control the radio over the network as well as receive and transmit. Well .. at least that's the plan. In order to bring that grand idea closer to fruition, I've just spent the past two days putting together a set of instructions, in the form of a Dockerfile, to attempt to help make that happen. I'll note upfront that this is a work in progress and there were plenty of trips to the local Yak Shaving compound to sharpen my blades, but I think by now you'll understand that this is par for the course. I'm sharing all this with you because in amateur radio and in any complex endeavour, progress is made by making small incremental improvements. We're up to the 19th, or 20th, if you count the introduction of my Bald Yak series and so far I have only very little tangible assets to show you. I suspect that this is going to be the case for some time to come. Perhaps my journey should be viewed as a way to pursue the things you're interested in and document your progress along the way, rather than a journey towards a product that you can install tomorrow morning after you've had your morning coffee. If all that made your head explode, don't worry, you're in good company. I embarrassed myself in front of all the HamSci community the other day when I proposed to use a spectrogram to capture and understand Ionosonde data, rather than raw IQ. I still don't know what I was thinking. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Most sales teams have more enablement material than ever and reps who still freeze on live calls. In this episode of Content to Close, Gus Garza, an enablement leader at Yext, explains why the gap between training and revenue readiness comes down to one thing: reps. Gus walks through how he uses Gong calls to diagnose where sellers are actually tripping up, why prescriptive bite-sized learning beats two-hour courses, and how he uses tools like Synthesia avatars and AI role play (plus a free ChatGPT voice-mode GPT) to give reps practice before they practice on customers. He breaks down how to personalize coaching at scale, getting one rep working on discovery while another tightens up the close, and why the reps who refuse to adapt to AI tend to weed themselves out. If you lead an enablement team or own quota and feel like your training program is checking boxes without changing behavior, this conversation gives you a practical model.About GusGus Garza is an enablement professional at Yext, where he focuses on turning sellers into revenue-ready reps. Gus came up through the Bay Area tech world after a stint in the military working in avionics, paid his dues as an SDR, and moved into closing roles and major accounts before falling into enablement six years ago. He spent time at UserTesting selling into enterprise UX teams, and credits his early SDR hunting instincts and improv background for the way he coaches reps today.Show Notes- Connect with Gus on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gustavogarza/Text us what you think about this episode!

Enterprise sales breaks down when teams confuse activity with progress, champions with coaches, or product interest with business urgency. Stuart Gwynn, a top-performing enterprise seller at MongoDB, joins John Kaplan and John McMahon to unpack what separates disciplined enterprise execution from deal chasing. Drawing from his path from SDR at Pure Storage to closing the largest deal in MongoDB history, Stuart explains why discovery is the foundation of value-based selling, how to test whether a champion will actually sell internally, and why large deals require multiple stakeholders, rigorous qualification, and a team operating around a shared account vision. He also shares how elite individual contributors lead without formal management titles, where AI is already changing buyer expectations, and why process only works when it is paired with judgment. Stuart Gwynn is an enterprise sales leader at MongoDB who has exceeded goal every year since joining the company in 2019. Before MongoDB, he spent seven years at Pure Storage, rising from SDR to named account rep and finishing as one of the company's top performers before moving into strategic enterprise selling.

According to research by Gartner, 84% of business leaders report their company's identity must significantly change to achieve strategic objectives. But how do you know when the time is right? And more importantly, how do you ensure that change goes smoothly? Riley Rogers: Welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. According to research by Gartner, 84% of business leaders report their company's identity must significantly change to achieve strategic objectives. But how do you know when the time is right? And more than that, how do you ensure that the change goes smoothly? Here to discuss this topic is Shelly Luciano, Vice President of Strategy at Leah. Thank you so much for joining us today, Shelly. I’d love if you could just kick us off by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Shelly Luciano: I’m Shelly Luciano. I’m Brazilian. I studied industrial engineering in Brazil and France. I started my career working in infrastructure and R&D, so that experience gave me a strong foundation in execution early on. Back in 2014, I moved to the UK to pursue my MBA at London Business School. I used business school to transition from a technical background into strategy on a global scale. After my MBA, I spent three and a half years in strategy consulting. That work helped me learn how companies compete in larger markets. What I realized is that although strategy consulting is intellectually fascinating, I was being more and more drawn to the business. So I transitioned into tech about five years ago. I joined what was then ContractPodAI, which is now Leah. Today, I’m Vice President of Strategy and Operations. My team focuses on aligning strategic priorities, supporting cross-functional execution, and ensuring our go-to-market approach reflects both where the company's headed and what our customers need. One of the most valuable parts of my role is staying close to our customer base. These conversations give me and the company a lot of valuable insight into how the market is evolving and how organizations are actually adopting AI. I then bring these insights back into the organization, back into Leah, to inform product direction, enable our customer success team, and ensure that our strategy remains grounded in real market needs. Ultimately, my role sits at the intersection of strategy, go-to-market execution, and customer insight. RR: I think you have a fascinating role, to be quite frank, and also a really wonderful story. To go from “I'm trained as an engineer,” to “now I've got my MBA, I'm in consulting, and today I work in tech and have for the last five years,” that's really an incredible journey that I imagine must have given you a real wealth of experience that serves you very well at Leah. SL: It’s funny because if you asked me when I graduated in Brazil what I'd be doing now, I wouldn't have guessed. The world has changed so much. My world has changed so much. So I feel very lucky and blessed to do the job that I do. I really like it. My company's fascinating. My role is fascinating. My company gives me room to change as long as I'm adding value and my team is adding value. So I'm really happy. RR: Yeah, and that's certainly evidenced by the fact that you spent five years in one tech company when the average tenure is just over two, so something really must be going right. I'd love to dig a little bit deeper into this exciting, challenging, and evolving role that's been keeping you at Leah for the last few years. You're there to keep an eye on what's happening in the market so your reps can tell a story and your engineering teams can build a product that the market both wants to hear and to see. More than that, you're also there to break down silos and operationalize your strategy so it really shows up in everyday workflows. In this work, what kind of things tend to crop up—challenges or obstacles that make it difficult to build the connections that bridge that gap between strategy and execution? SL: For me, there are two major challenges I see in equipping internal teams to drive growth. First, strategy and execution often evolve at different speeds. A leadership team can align relatively quickly on a strategic direction, but translating that direction into how hundreds or thousands of people operate day to day can take much longer. For me, strategy only really lands when it keeps showing up in customer conversations. What you portray needs to align with what your client base and the market are seeing. If the people talking to customers every day don't understand the problems that your company is solving and why, then your strategy hasn't really landed. It's just a deck. It's lovely to build these ideas, but you've got to be able to execute on them. As companies scale, the complexity increases much faster than people expect. You have more industries, more personas, a larger product portfolio, and if you don't have the right systems and alignment, that complexity can create a lot of confusion internally. And if your team is internally confused, then everyone else is too. RR: So your job is to keep an incredibly close pulse on the market and on technology as they both evolve. And it's a little bit of an endless task because the market will always shift and technology will always evolve. So you've got to be right there with it as the voice of reason for the organization, telling everyone, “Okay, here's what's happening, and here's how we're going to move with it.” As someone who, by job description, is very comfortable with change and evolution, can you share with us how you're thinking about how Leah, as an AI-first company, is keeping pace through major technology shifts, and then how other organizations should think about translating these shifts into their own organizational and operational processes? SL: Leah has been an AI-first company for years, way before LLMs. What changed with LLMs is the speed and scope at which we can execute our strategy much faster. We've been using machine learning in our platform for a long time, so the foundation was already there. We already had a really strong team. What LLMs did was introduce a step change, and our founder, Sarvarth, is a visionary. He saw straight away how that was going to change the game. All these changes in the past few years did not change our direction, but for the client base, what they can really see is that LLMs have expanded the use cases that we can deliver. And I think that's what matters to customers—how can we solve more of their problems? With Leah, we've moved from traditional automation into what we describe as an agentic operating system. That means our AI is not just supporting workflows. We can do much more than that. We can now reason across data, understand context, and orchestrate actions. That is so exciting, as you can imagine, for someone who works in strategy because it feels limitless. Going beyond static workflows, you now have systems that can adapt dynamically to the problems that we're solving. And that's where the speed and pace of innovation really comes in. Once you move into an agentic model, you're no longer limited to predefined use cases. You can continuously expand how AI is applied across not only our internal organization but also our client base. From a strategy and operations perspective, the challenge is not adopting the technology, because we've been able to do it and we continue to do it. The challenge is how do we operationalize it? Strategists love frameworks, so if I had to group it, I'd say there are three ways I think about this. The first part is strategic focus. The risk with AI, within all this opportunity, is diffusion. So we need to be deliberate about which use cases we prioritize. We need to define where we can deliver the most value, because being AI-first doesn't mean doing everything. It means scaling the right use cases. The second part is how do we translate that into go-to-market execution? As I mentioned before, strategy only really lands when your customers can speak about you. Organizations need to understand how to position AI. We need to be able to explain it clearly so we can apply it across different industries and contexts. That's where systems like Highspot can really help us translate this within our organization and externally. The third thing is continuous customer feedback loops, because customer proximity is the most valuable strategic signal we can have. To be a strategist in tech, your goal is not to define a static AI strategy. You're always on a feedback loop, and you need to be agile. The tools and teams that support you need to be comfortable with always learning and always putting our best foot forward. RR: So as you alluded to, you and the team actually recently went through a rebrand. From ContractPodAI, you became Leah, named after the organization's flagship AI offering. I'd be curious to hear how, with these challenges to strategy-aligned execution in mind, you and the team made sure that everyone was telling the same story and supporting the same strategy, even as the brand message and narrative shifted so drastically. SL: Leah was already a product of ours that had taken a bigger and bigger piece of our client base. So moving from ContractPodAI, which was very contract-focused, into Leah made sense because the Leah product had become a much bigger part of who we were and our identity. When we came into becoming the Leah brand, we were ready in many ways. You're never fully ready for a full rebrand. There's still a lot of work. But we had the tools and processes in place to help us in that transition. In 2021, we had just raised $150 million from SoftBank's Vision Fund. At that point, I knew we were going to grow exponentially, so I wanted to manage as many growing pains as possible. At that stage, we were evolving from having a relatively general pitch to a much more sophisticated message tailored by industry and persona, and our platform was expanding even back then. I realized that we needed a way to ensure that our entire organization stayed aligned on how we communicate value because, as companies scale, complexity increases. More products, more industries, more ways customers can use your platform. So when trying to solve that problem, that's when we looked into Highspot. We wanted Highspot to help us ensure the entire organization could work from the same narrative. Highspot is now used across our sales teams, SDR teams, CX teams, and actually it has expanded because once people hear about it, they want to know what the go-to-market teams are presenting. I'm really glad we implemented Highspot four or five years ago now because since then the customers that we serve have grown and the breadth of our platform has grown. Putting things in place before you come to that stage is actually really important. RR: Can you walk through where Highspot fit into the picture and how you and the team used it to trickle down that message so, to your earlier point, strategic vision didn't get lost in that wonderful game of telephone between C-suite strategy and individual contributor execution? SL: When I came in, we had a general pitch on how we went to market. One of the reasons I was hired is because I came in to do an industry strategy, and there was a lot of research involved—both internally, looking at how we were using the tool for certain industries, and externally, looking at market potential and product fit for each industry. Based on that, I prioritized a few industries to start developing content and enablement around. That's when I looked into Highspot because we had a SharePoint at the time, and it was already not fully updated. People pasted things on top of it or saved materials to their computers and never checked the right version again. I came to Highspot with a very clear use case. There were other features and capabilities that we wanted, but the core problem I wanted to solve was creating one single source of truth. It seems like a SharePoint should do that just fine, but it didn't because we needed something that would help us as we continued scaling product growth, use case growth, and overall organizational growth. It was going to become really hard to enable everyone and make sure people accessed the information they needed at the right time. That's what we got Highspot for, and that's what we continue using it for. RR: So once you defined the strategy of the rebrand, where did you see friction between what you were telling reps—“Here's our new message, here's our new strategy”—and what they were actually saying and doing in the field? Where was there misalignment, and how did you and the team tackle that? SL: Once the strategy and story are defined, the real challenge is behavioral change at scale. Organizations tend to align on a narrative relatively quickly at a conceptual level. But alignment alone is not the end goal. Execution is. Execution, particularly in customer conversations, can take time. The friction I've observed is not usually resistance. It's normally a knowledge gap or a confidence gap. Sometimes you have the knowledge, but you're not confident in that knowledge. As your platform evolves and you're no longer selling a single product for a very defined use case, you're helping customers on a journey. You need to understand a variety of challenges across different workflows, industries, and personas. In that environment, the challenge is not whether teams understand the narrative. The bigger challenge is whether they can apply it dynamically in real conversations. What we consistently see is that reps are comfortable with the core story, but uncertainty appears around the edges. When a customer asks something slightly outside the standard pitch or challenges how the solution applies to their specific context, that's where execution can break down. For reps to feel confident using the right language and positioning the platform correctly, they need to understand things at a deeper level. With all the advancement in AI, we can develop things so quickly, but that also creates challenges because emerging technologies move incredibly fast. There's something new every week. If your software can deliver so much, there are a lot of questions reps need to feel prepared for, and we need to give the organization the ability to operate with clarity and confidence in this complex environment. Highspot has helped us do part of that, particularly in making sure teams understand how we're positioning ourselves, but there's also a lot of technical enablement and training that we need to make sure they complete. Teams have to prepare for conversations in many different contexts, and that fundamentally changes how an organization executes. You can't just memorize anymore. You need to understand. Ultimately, scaling a company is not about having the best strategy on paper. It's about ensuring that all of your employees can bring that strategy to life and communicate it with passion. RR: Yeah. I love the way you landed that because you're 100% right that to a certain extent it can be a knowledge gap, and another layer can be that confidence gap. But then that third and final layer is the context gap. Can reps embody the strategist? Can they embody the strategy? Reps want to do well. It benefits them and it benefits you. So when things are going awry, it's not intentional. It's hard to get up to speed and start delivering in the field, especially when things are changing so rapidly. If you can slowly bridge all those gaps, your strategy starts to encompass the whole company. And again, it's such a cool role that you have, getting to bring that to life and then watch it trickle out into every customer conversation your teams are having. You mentioned 2021 and implementing Highspot, and it's been five years since then. In that time, what key results have you seen? Any wins that you're especially proud of, whether early on or today during this rebrand phase? SL: Highspot is now widely used across the organization. We have the sales team, SDR team, CX team, and leadership all using it. Initially, we bought licenses only for the sales team, and since then we've more than doubled, if not tripled, our licenses because people continue asking for access. I think that's one of the biggest indicators of value. What I continue to see, and why I continue investing in the platform, is consistency. You want to be consistently delivering and positioning yourself in the market. As our product offering expanded and we began serving multiple industries and personas across different regions, it became critical that teams could access the most relevant materials quickly. Highspot ensures that everyone across the organization is working from the same narrative and delivering a consistent experience to customers and prospective customers. That alignment becomes very important as the organization scales. One of the most impressive things after the rebrand was that from the very next day, everything had changed. Everything in Highspot was Leah. I knew the marketing team had been working incredibly hard, but from day one everything was available to us. That's what tools are for. When you buy a tool, you want to make sure it makes you look good. RR: I can imagine that's a monumental task—to take every single piece of collateral, every single deck you've ever built, and overnight update it so every rep has all the content, messaging, and everything they need to hit the ground running on day one of the rebrand, day one of Leah. To the point of bringing strategy to life, you really did it. Very early on, you said you're never ready for a rebrand. And yes, it's certainly a huge task, but it does seem like you've come through it successfully. That takes me to the last question I had for you, which is: for other leaders navigating a rebrand or shifting message while trying to position themselves in a constantly changing market, what advice would you share? SL: One of the most important lessons for me is that rebrands are not simply marketing exercises. They're full organizational transformations. The success of a rebrand depends on whether the entire organization is bought in and understands the narrative, and whether they feel confident communicating what you're doing to customers. Like I said before, the success of the rebrand is really only clear when you see that it has landed with your customer base. Another key element is staying very close to your customers during the process. Understand how they're going to perceive this, and once you've launched it, pay attention to their initial reactions so you can address anything quickly. That's your most valuable insight because customers really know how you're positioning yourself in the market and what you can actually deliver. You want to make sure what you've changed feels true to who you are. Luckily, with Leah, customers responded positively to the rebrand. They felt the narrative resonated. When your organization combines strong strategic direction with customer insight, you're much more likely to build a story that's authentic and compelling. That's what you want with your brand. It needs to make sense. People need to know it wasn't just done to look good. It needs to resonate with the company and what you're offering. RR: Yeah. You absolutely need to prove that this is something worthwhile and valuable to your customer base, and that it tells the story and provides the value they're looking for. Otherwise, to your point, it winds up feeling like a vanity exercise because someone didn't like the colors or didn't feel the name was quite right. It needs to be strategic and feel strategic.

According to Highspot’s Go-To-Market Gap Report, 98% of leaders say their GTM strategy is active, but only 10% see it driving results. The reason for that? Strategy abounds. Real meaningful execution, not so much. So how do you overcome the go-to-market performance gap and bridge that growing rift between strategy and execution? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Jacob Keith, senior revenue enablement specialist at HealthJoy. Thank you so much for joining us today, Jacob. I’m super excited to dive into your experience. So could you kick us off just by sharing a little bit about yourself, your background, and the role you’re in currently? Jacob Keeth: Yeah, absolutely. Also, Riley, thanks so much for having me on. I’m really grateful and excited that we get the chance to chat about something so consequential and oddly kind of fun. So I’m just looking forward to it. My name’s Jacob. Professionally speaking, I’ve been working in enablement for just shy of five years and worked in sales for a year prior to that doing SDR prospecting work. I’ve done all types of enablement, everything from onboarding-focused work to focusing on BDRs and prospecting. Now at my current company, HealthJoy, it’s been so much fun. We’re operating in primarily a channel sales method, so we’re working through individuals who then sell our product, which has been a really fun and complicated task from the enablement perspective. We’ll dive all into that today. RR: Awesome. So exciting that you’re in a role that’s challenging you and building on all of those skills that you were learning and picking up along the way. Before we jump in, I’d love if you could set the stage for those of us not familiar with HealthJoy—who you are, what you do, who you serve, and then maybe a little bit of that sales motion that you touched on. JK: HealthJoy is a benefits operating system, and really what we do is help make sure that companies’ benefits strategies and plans actually work as designed. What do I mean by that? Well, I’m sure, Riley, as you’ve experienced too, companies typically have a pretty fragmented benefits plan, right? There’s the medical plan, the dental plan, maybe individual solutions. Usually these companies all have different logins, different ways to access them, and there’s not necessarily a concrete place where you can go to get all that information inside of one environment. Also, the reality is, if I’m debating whether I need to go to the ER right now, I can tell you the last place I’m gonna go is logging into my company’s intranet to figure out which ER is best applicable to me and which one is likely gonna work with my insurance. We make healthcare decisions through the path of least resistance, and frankly, they’re usually made in situations where we don’t have the luxury of time. This is really where HealthJoy can come in. With HealthJoy, companies can unite that benefits ecosystem into one seamless platform. We use an AI assistant called Joy AI, as well as human concierges, to give our end members or employees personalized guidance and proactive support. That’s really where HealthJoy finds itself: being that benefits operating system that puts everything together and helps you, Riley, make the right decision at the right time. So that’s the big-picture view of what the company is and what we do. Now, how do we actually do it? The way HealthJoy operates is we work through what you’d call a benefits consultant. Your HR team at your business is probably working with an external benefits agency, consultant, or broker to help curate and strategize that benefits plan to maximize its effectiveness and cost for the business. We work through them, build really meaningful relationships with brokers all across the United States, and then from there, when there’s strategic alignment and the broker believes in us and our message, they’ll introduce us to clients where they think we can help that company advance its mission because they align with the kinds of things we’re offering. So that’s what we’d call a channel sales methodology. We’re working with people who then sell in tandem with us. From an enablement perspective, you’re not only trying to enable your selling team, but you’re also asking: how can I best train these folks to then go and enable the hundreds of brokers they’re all working with individually around the country? RR: I think your marketing and comms team is really gonna be thrilled because that was a great pitch. It almost seems like you have to, as an enabler, play a game of telephone. You have one message to share with folks internally that you then need them to get out the right way externally. It sounds like it’s quite the challenge, especially given that, like you shared, HealthJoy is in kind of a unique position at the intersection of tech and all of the wonderful complexity that comes with healthcare. So how does that industry challenge shape the way your go-to-market teams need to operate, and what kind of challenges does that create for you on the enablement side? JK: Yeah, that complexity gives me a lot of job security. So it is a real challenge. One thing HealthJoy has gotten really good at over the last year is defining who our ideal customer is. Is it the end-user employer? Is it the member who would experience it? Is it the broker we’re targeting? And it really is the broker. Those are the folks we’re working with, building meaningful relationships with, and who can open up so much opportunity for us as a business. When a broker believes in us, it pays huge dividends in both effectiveness and outcomes. At that intersection of tech and healthcare, another interesting element that often shows up in enablement is onboarding. You look at who we hire as our sales reps—we’re looking for people who typically have a strong background in healthcare and great existing relationships with brokers around the United States. Then they’re coming into an environment where maybe they weren’t in a tech environment at all. So how do we equip these individuals to feel really confident in a remote sales environment that’s very tech-forward? HealthJoy as a company is also heavily leaning into AI internally and externally. So convincing our sellers that the direction we’re taking as a company is one they can understand, intuit, and promote into the market is a real challenge. It’s multi-step. An adage I try to live by as an enabler—and this is really a hallmark of adult education—is the question: what’s in it for me? If it’s not relevant for that seller, they’re not going to retain it, even if they want to. Even if their boss is pleading with them, “You have to know this. This has to make sense for you.” If there’s not an immediate connection to why this matters for me and my paycheck at the end of the day, it’s not going to stick. That’s not selfishness. That’s just the reality of how adults learn and prioritize what’s important. So for us, we have to make sure the messages we’re positioning—whether they’re for the seller to use, for the seller to communicate to their broker, or for the end member—have a really clear through line. The rep needs to know what’s in it for them and who that message is for throughout. It can be complicated. It can be a real challenge to make sure we’re nailing that every single time. I get a negative shiver down my spine every time I hear a message about what HealthJoy is that doesn’t align with the message we’re putting out into the market. Because I know for every one rep who says that, there’s probably a dozen brokers who hear it too. And we’re working with brokers over the course of years. So if that broker got a demo of HealthJoy three years ago and thinks, “I know it. I’m good to move forward,” how do we keep our existing brokers who love us educated on what’s happening across the market and how we’re evolving as a company? RR: It’s kind of fascinating. I feel like sometimes you talk to folks and the challenge of bringing in sellers is getting them up to speed on the complex side of the industry. If I’m chatting with fintech customers, it’s understanding the financial environment. Or with health tech customers, it’s learning how to speak about healthcare. But you have the reverse challenge. You’re bringing in sales reps who maybe were in the field or in more traditional spaces, and now you need to get them up to speed on all of the innovation that comes with a tech company. So it’s a very unique challenge, and it sounds like it’s one you’re well-equipped to tackle. You described yourself as someone who really excels at turning ideas into repeatable, measurable processes. I’d love if you could tell us, from your perspective, how you’re connecting strategy to execution, because as that stat we opened with tells us, things tend to get lost in translation. JK: For me, when it comes to turning things into repeatable and measurable processes—especially as an enablement team of one—my thought is this: pick really carefully and be ready to pivot. Especially in a startup environment, odds are if you’re an enablement team of one, you’re in a company that’s still developing. There isn’t a strong adherence to “the way things have always been,” or a large team and lots of infrastructure supporting the organization. It’s you. You are the brand of enablement. Who you represent and how you show up is what enablement is perceived as by your organization every single time. So with that, be really careful about what you choose to make repeatable. I get so many asks every month: “Hey, I’d love to make a process on this,” or “Can we update XYZ?” But I have to be mindful of the opportunity cost of saying yes to developing more things, because all of those things have downstream maintenance and upkeep. It’s more to manage, which steals time I wasn’t intending to give six months from now. So when it comes to measurable processes, we basically say: let’s take the idea and find a couple key metrics. As a team of one, pick one or two that really matter to your executives, then ask yourself: is this worth keeping track of? Is this worth my bandwidth over the next year or two? There’s another line our CEO says frequently: “80% today is better than 100% two weeks from now.” Now, that doesn’t mean deliver lackluster work. But especially as an enablement person, I’m a perfectionist. I want things to look and feel really good. I want them to be intuitive and usable. But sometimes the pace of the organization demands that we move faster. If I can embody the reality that 80% today is better than 100% later, I can deliver work that really matters, drives impact, and still allows me to pivot and adapt quickly. Because the more perfect we make something, the more maintenance it often requires. That’s a profound hidden cost for enablement organizations: what does it cost to maintain the standards you’re presenting? That’s a lesson I’ve had to learn the hard way. I’ve done it well and really poorly at different points in my career. And I think it can really make or break your own love of enablement—whether it’s something you can continue to grow in, or whether you end up stuck inside the castle you built yourself. RR: I think you just gave us a framework of two very practical questions you can ask yourself as you’re looking at a request from your sales team or something coming cross-functionally: Is it going to be valuable for me to invest in this? And what does timely execution look like? How can I get something out that is useful and delivers business value, even if it doesn’t meet every single standard I have? That’s really helpful for anybody who’s trying to ruthlessly prioritize, which I know is hard. JK: Because it’s all important, right? Everyone has great ideas, but if 30 things fall in your lap to manage and maintain, congrats—you just built yourself three jobs, none of which have much capacity to strategically grow in the future. It becomes about project and program maintenance, which is valuable and important, but as a team of one or a lean enablement team, it’s a non-starter. It can’t be part of the equation that often. And when it is, it’s gotta be really important to make it worthwhile. RR: 100%. I wonder if we can ground this thinking in an example. Recently, HealthJoy launched a new go-to-market message. So, when you’re talking about scaling ideas and execution—in this case, a new message and a new market perception—what do you find are the key ingredients to success in making that strategy become reality? JK: Yeah, absolutely. For 2026, our message is: “HealthJoy is the benefits operating system that makes your benefits strategy work as designed.” I think the way we get this to stick in the market with these very disparate audiences is the same story internally as well. We have to make sure everyone’s on the same page. A couple of things stand out for me from an adult education and enablement perspective. First, when you’re talking about large company-wide initiatives, you have to define the problem incredibly clearly. Why is what we’re doing right now not working? Again, getting at that adult education mentality of “what’s in it for me?” The reality is: what’s happening now isn’t working for you. If it’s not a compelling and inspiring vision, people won’t care. They’ll stick with what they’re doing today because the status quo is always easier than change. I need to understand that changing my behavior and changing how I’m presenting messaging in the market means every demo and sales pitch now has to adjust because of this. That’s no small lift. So be really clear about what’s not working now, where we’re going in the future, why it’s better, and why sellers should care. Second: repetition. I’m a really big fan of multimodal learning for reps. That means delivering content through stand-and-present sessions, team trainings, one-on-one conversations, learning management systems, videos—I've even recorded podcasts. You have to hit learners in different ways from where they are. One thing I can never let myself forget is that I cannot assume people are paying attention the first time. They’re distracted with XYZ—you fill in the blank. We owe double the responsibility to be repetitive with our content if we actually want it to stick. Saying, “Well, I trained on it once. I sent the deliverable. I gave the email recap. That should be enough,” isn’t enough. In enablement, we should be asking not whether we think we did enough, but whether it actually worked. And where we can, let’s let reps weigh in on the decisions. Obviously, a single seller probably isn’t going to reshape your whole go-to-market message. But in our case, we had reps test this out in their markets first and give us feedback on what was resonating. Reps felt like they were part of the process from day one because they were brought into those conversations to help steer the organization. When we do these things together, it creates a deep sense of confidence and a steady vision. RR: Yeah, and it sounds like these are all layers of that foundational piece of “what’s in it for you?” How can we message that, and then how can I make sure that everywhere you’re working and telling our story, you have what you need to tell it the right way? I love that it all ladders up to that primary objective. JK: Because it’s fundamentally behavior change, right? How do we actually drive real behavior change instead of just checking boxes that say, “Well, this should’ve changed the behavior”? And in a remote environment, working with sellers who may be coming from non-tech backgrounds, this has to be done with excellence or it’s going to fail. RR: Mm-hmm. And when we’re talking about behavior change, can you share where a tool like Highspot fits into the picture and how you’re using it to bring new programs, processes, and this messaging shift to life? JK: The way I’ve positioned Highspot in the organization—and I think it’s gotten a lot of traction—is that it’s a beautiful place that reps can trust. That’s kind of my tagline for it. Primarily, we use Highspot to organize our internal sales policies, external sales collateral, Digital Rooms, and a couple of AutoDocs. How our reps mostly understand the platform is this: it’s the centralized database where they can trust they’re getting the most up-to-date content. They can send it out through the platform, track it, and see how it’s performing with customers. When I was interviewing for this role, I talked with a couple other enablement leaders, and one thing someone said really stuck with me: “Beautiful things get used.” Highspot, when you put in a little work, can look so pleasing and inviting. It’s just a great UI. When I came into the organization, there were three different versions of content in Highspot. It wasn’t well maintained for a variety of reasons. But I knew that to maximize the effectiveness of the platform, we had to clean it up and create a compelling vision for why reps should use this instead of their own private Google Drive with five downloaded resources. How could I give them a compelling vision that centralization is better? We started by making it really appealing, really beautiful, and simple to navigate. So when we talk about driving behavior change, you need tools in a remote environment that categorize what great looks like, make it really clear, create centralized expectations, and stop reps from running off like lone cowboys and cowgirls across the country. We need a central standard for what great looks like and what good content is. Highspot serves that role well because reps trust it. It’s cleaned up, it’s beautiful, and it’s enjoyable to use. And then on top of that, they get the tracking, benefits, and analytics on the backend. RR: If you look at the data, it shows that what you’re doing is working and that these philosophies are really resonating with your teams because you’ve driven 93% recurring usage of the platform. Pretty much everybody is coming back time and time again. When you’ve made something people want to come back to and find real value in, that’s fantastic. JK: It was honestly one of my proudest moments in my first few months here. When I joined HealthJoy a little over a year ago, Highspot was one of the first projects I took on as an enabler. I thought, “I want to revamp this experience.” At that point, the main concern I was hearing—because I met with every rep individually—was: “I don’t know what content is up to date. It takes me forever to find what I’m looking for.” In my brain, because my previous company used Highspot, I immediately thought: ding, ding, ding. There’s an easy solution to this. We have it. We just need to make this the default behavior. So I did a couple things. One, I pitched and presented it. I met with reps one-on-one to understand their problems, then met with some of them again to say, “Hey, here’s the solution. This is kind of your idea because you said this was an issue.” They had buy-in. Then, I built a treasure hunt, which was basically a 30-question quiz where reps had to navigate through Highspot, find resources, create pages, and complete tasks. Naturally, reps didn’t love the idea of homework. Who would? But about two months into my role, we had an onsite in Chicago. At a team dinner, one of the managers said in front of everyone: “Jacob, we’ve been talking and we’ve all agreed—we’re gonna do your treasure hunt.” That was a key turning point for us. If you want Highspot—or any tool—to work, reps need to have buy-in. And especially on enablement teams of one or two, you’re the brand. If they’re not bought into you, they’re not going to buy into what you’re implementing. RR: On that topic of making life easier, you mentioned a few use cases where Highspot comes into play with both optimization and time savings, especially with Digital Rooms and AutoDocs. With these capabilities fueling external sharing and customization to brokers’ processes, what workflow improvements have you seen, and how has that reduced complexity for the sales team? JK: I’ll give one example. Alongside a formal price quote, we send out a proposal form. It’s the more beautiful, easy-to-read version of the formal quote. It gives the compelling narrative for why someone should use the platform and what’s included in their package. Previously, the process was basically a Google Drive template where reps manually adjusted text boxes. I would hear stories of reps spending two to three hours realigning boxes into a single vertical line. And they’re like, “This is so dumb.” I understood the frustration, but proposals still have to look excellent. There’s no excuse. So that was the first AutoDoc we took on. In some cases, building a proposal was taking reps two to three hours. On average, probably about an hour if everything went well. We streamlined that process dramatically. Every prospect got a proposal, but the process went from 45–60 minutes down to at most 15 minutes, and on average about five. It took me a lot of hours upfront to build, but the payoff was immediate. I think within the first year, something like 70 proposals had already been sent through that auto doc. When I calculated the time savings, I was thrilled. And I could’ve built that AutoDoc six months earlier, but because we didn’t yet have the platform engagement and trust, nobody would’ve trusted what came next. We had to solve the foundational issues first: engagement and trust. Once reps believed this was better than the alternatives, then we could deliver the “chef’s kiss” features. But we had to get them in the door first. Otherwise, we were dead on arrival. RR: I really like that framing of building the foundation first and spending time building trust. Now that you have adoption and users are bought in—sending proposals, sharing content, tracking engagement—what impact would you say this work has had on the business overall? JK: I think it was the first case under my stewardship of enablement at HealthJoy where I could say: “I hear you. This project was done in response to your needs. Trust me with the solution, and you’re going to see the positive outcome because of it.” It showed a really clear way that, as a solo enabler, I could offer real value and build a strong partnership with the sales team. Because I’m not their boss. I’m their peer who’s here to think strategically alongside them and help them win revenue more easily. I also think the Highspot rollout set us on a trajectory where we could repeat that process. The change in go-to-market messaging came on the heels of Highspot. Even though they weren’t the same project, that organizational muscle had already been exercised successfully. RR: You’re in a fast-moving startup environment, and now you have that central source of truth so that as things change, you can help your reps change with them. As we’re wrapping up, if there’s one crystallizing theme for enablement teams operating with limited capacity or as a team of one, what advice would you give on prioritization and focusing efforts to drive the most impact? JK: I’m learning this lesson a lot right now. As an enablement team of one—or even two—have really great partnerships and open conversations across the business: with your CEO, your C-suite, sales leaders, marketing, and product. You really do serve as connective tissue. One thing I can struggle with is getting so stuck in training, training, training that I forget to ask: what’s the highest-impact thing I can spend my time on to drive business outcomes? That may be training, but it may also mean joining tiger teams across the business, helping investigate new products or strategies, and bringing an enablement perspective into implementation planning. So keep an ear to the ground. Stay responsive to business needs. Be open to pivoting quickly. Don’t pigeonhole yourself into saying, “In enablement, I do onboarding and training, and that’s it.” Enablement is dynamic by design, and that’s why I love it so much. I’ve joked that any six-month snapshot of my enablement career would probably look like a completely different job description. That’s just the name of the game. So embrace change. Look for where the cheese is moving, and don’t get mad that your cheese got moved. Also, champion your successes. Especially in a small enablement team, people want to know what’s happening. But in a remote environment, if you’re not shouting from the rooftops about the cool things you’re doing, they won’t get seen. That’s just reality. So especially for newer enablement pros, don’t be afraid to champion your work because it’s super cool. And finally, going full circle to what we talked about at the beginning: only scale the things that aren’t going to steal your time. Scale the things you’re willing to continue investing in. That’s what keeps you dynamic, strategic, and able to adapt to new opportunities while still helping champion your reps across the organization. RR: I think it’s really powerful that every piece of advice you just shared ties directly back to examples from your own work. Even that last point—“scale what doesn’t steal your time”—showed up in your proposal example. Yes, it took time upfront, but it saved time down the line and was the right place to invest.

When a client's motivation dips, nothing else survives the fall. Compliance drops. Consistency disappears. Effort fades. And without those three things, results become impossible — which circles right back to episode one's core fear: the client who isn't getting results.But here's what doesn't work: yelling louder. Making the program harder. Wondering why a fully employed adult with a family, a mortgage, and a calendar full of obligations isn't matching the energy you bring to the gym floor every day. We can't force motivation. What we can do is get curious, get empathetic, and get strategic.Big THANK YOU to our sponsors:- CoachRX - Hands down, the best platform for coaches.

What does this client's life actually allow right now? Work stress, family obligations, sleep quality, caregiving responsibilities — all of it affects how much a person can bring to their training. Their capacity this month may look nothing like it did six months ago, and that's not failure. That's life. Your job is to meet them where they are.Clarity — Are you and your client still on the same page about what they're working toward — and does the current plan reflect that? Goals shift. Life changes fast. A well-designed 12-week block can become completely misaligned with a client's reality by week six. Rebuild the communication. Reclarify the target. Make sure the plan still makes sense for the person standing in front of you today.Core Values — Motivation comes and goes. Discipline fluctuates. But core values — the one or two fundamental qualities a person anchors their identity to — do not change. David draws on Brené Brown's Dare to Lead and the OPEX coaching method to make the case: when training is connected to a client's core values (health, accountability, integrity, service, freedom), it stops being optional. It becomes part of who they are.THE QUESTION THAT CHANGES EVERYTHINGEvery coach has been there: a client who says they want results but isn't doing the work. The instinct is to push. To confront. To ask "why aren't you trying harder?" David challenges coaches to reframe entirely — and ask instead: what is making this feel hard? That one shift lowers defensiveness, opens conversation, and gets directly to the root of the capacity, clarity, or values disconnect driving the motivation problem.RESOURCES Core Values List — Use it yourself first, then share it with clients.Dare to Lead by Brené Brown — Referenced for its framework on identifying and living by core values.CoachRx — The coaching platform David uses and recommends.

À l'approche de l'entrée en vigueur du Pacte Asile et Migration de l'Union européenne, prévue mi-juin 2026, plusieurs pays veulent accélérer les procédures d'expulsion de migrants en situation irrégulière. La Commission, elle, invite des Talibans à Bruxelles, représentants d'un gouvernement dont elle ne reconnait pas la légitimité.  Asile et migration : En Allemagne, le gouvernement de Friedrich Merz a beaucoup restreint l'accueil de migrants et réfugiés depuis son arrivée au pouvoir. À l'aéroport de Munich, en Bavière, un nouveau terminal est en construction, il devrait être entièrement dédié aux expulsions et être achevé fin 2027. Au total, 35 000 personnes pourraient être renvoyées depuis cet aéroport chaque année. Le projet, controversé, ferait de la Bavière le « champion » en la matière Reportage, Opale Von Kaiser. La Commission européenne a invité des représentants des autorités talibanes d'Afghanistan à Bruxelles, d'ici l'été, pour discuter de ces renvois de migrants en situation irrégulière. Notre Invité : Yves Pascouau, directeur adjoint de l'association Forum Réfugiés.

Chaque habitant génère 519 kilos d'ordures par an, c'est plus que la moyenne de l'UE et c'est plus qu'il y a dix ans. Problème supplémentaire, 77% de ces déchets ne sont pas recyclés. Pour combler son retard et se conformer aux directives européennes, Lisbonne a mis en place, il y a un mois, un système de consigne pour les bouteilles plastiques et les cannettes. Un système déjà adopté dans certains pays, mais pas dans le sud de l'Europe. La France s'y intéresse aussi d'ailleurs.

This week, we're joined by Menuhin Hart, creator of the NNFA theme song, for another splendiferous episode that swings from 76ers heartbreak, Mother's Day reflections to AI comedy bots, fake identities, and more Fast & Furious! We get into the pain of being a Sixers fan while getting swept by New York, Dave's first Mother's Day after loss and why Teona needs to apologize, why men remember the exact last time they cried and the worst TV/Movie moms in history. Then we get into News from the Surface, with a Bronx woman pretending to be a teenager for benefits, the AI “rizz bot” doing stand-up comedy, why celeb culture is wild with updates on the singer, D4vd, and we find out there's more Fast&Furious coming down the line, which makes us question whether Vin Diesel has mastered racial ambiguity forever. Finally, we give you a sneak peaks into our latest project, “Gone in 60 Seconds"!

PIPs have a bad reputation.And usually for good reason. In corporate, a PIP was rarely about improvement. It was a paper trail.But strip away that baggage and the core idea is sound: here's where performance is falling short, here's what good looks like, here's the plan.As an independent consultant, that's exactly what you need. And you're the only one who can give it to yourself.In this episode, Melisa Liberman introduces the PIP Technique: a self-directed performance improvement plan built for independent consultants.You're excellent at delivering the work you sell. But if you're like most consultants, lead gen, sales, follow-up, and business development? Those are a different story.You're underperforming in at least one of these areas. You know it. The question isn't whether you should fix it. It's figuring out which part to fix first.That's what the PIP Technique does. It helps you identify which role in your business is falling short. CEO. CRO. Marketer. Sales development rep. Consultant delivering the work.And then it gives you a structure to actually do something about it.In this episode, you'll learn how to rate your own performance across those roles, choose the highest-impact area to improve, and build a 90-day plan with clear milestones and feedback loops that hold you accountable when the work gets uncomfortable.No one is going to hand you this plan. That's the point.You're the one who sees the gap. You're the one who builds the plan. And this episode shows you exactly how.Timestamps for Key Moments:[00:00] What a PIP is and why independent consultants should use one[05:00] The client story that inspired the PIP Technique[07:35] How the Consultant's Business Health Check helps you find your baseline[09:50] Five reasons a PIP improves consulting business performance[14:10] Why separating yourself from your business changes how you lead[16:05] How to rate yourself as CEO, CRO, CMO, SDR, and consultant[19:00] How to decide which business role needs a PIP[21:15] How to create your PIP from the manager lens[24:45] How to approach your PIP from the employee lens[28:10] Mistakes to avoid when improving your consulting performance[32:00] How to put the PIP Technique into action over the next 90 days                  [34:50] How to create more client conversations starting todayResources Mentioned:Companion Resource: Take the Independent Consultant's Business Health Check: www.icassessment.com   Related Podcast Episode: Episode 233 - The Big Leadership Mistake Independent Consultants Make, https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-233 Related Podcast Episode: Episode 234 - The #1 Management Mistake Independent Consultants Make, https://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-234/Full Show Noteshttps://shownotes.melisaliberman.com/episode-269Want More?• Melisa's Books, Planners & Journals: https://linktr.ee/melisaliberman• Get Melisa's Book: https://www.melisaliberman.com/book• Visit Melisa's Website: https://www.melisaliberman.com/ • Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/Want help achieving your consulting business goals?

On this week's show a listener asks for some help with keeping his audio in sync with his video. We also discuss how to turn off the ACR on your Smart TV. But first we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Here's What's Coming in the 2026 Apple TV Roku's Howdy Streaming Service Reaches an Estimated 1 Million Users Deal Alert! 65" TV for $238 Audio Sync in a Home Theater Byron's request for answers to some specific questions on audio sync: I'd appreciate it if you guys could provide some "guiding principles" on syncing audio in a home theater setup. I have four questions: 1. Should the AVR be the ONLY place to mess with syncing settings (when everything runs through it, including ARC)? Yes, in most cases—this is the recommended approach. Start with AVR settings at zero or Auto, enable Auto Lip Sync if available, and adjust the manual audio delay there. Avoid adjusting on the TV or sources unless you have a specific reason like a stubborn source that bypasses the AVR. Changing multiple devices creates conflicts and makes troubleshooting harder. 2. If AVR is the main adjustment point, do sources automatically stay in sync after setting it once?  Often yes, especially with Auto Lip Sync enabled and consistent sources. The AVR's delay setting (or per-input memory) applies across similar content. However: Different video formats, resolutions, SDR vs. HDR/Dolby Vision,  60Hz vs. 24p or processing modes can introduce varying delays. Some AVRs store audio delay per input, so one good setting per source/input often suffices.  3. For Fire TV Sticks, Apple TV, etc.: Do sync settings apply across all apps, or per-app? Fire TV Stick: The AV Sync Tuning (under Settings > Display & Sounds > Audio) is generally a device-wide offset. It should hold across apps for the HDMI output. Individual apps might have minor internal variations, but a global tweak usually covers most cases. Reboot the stick if sync drifts. Apple TV: No built-in manual per-app delay slider in standard settings. There's a Wireless Audio Sync calibration that uses the iPhone for measurement, which is more global. Different apps (e.g., Netflix vs. others) can sometimes show varying sync due to their decoding/processing—users often report needing AVR tweaks when switching apps. Match Frame Rate and consistent audio formats help stability.  In both cases, rely on the AVR for the heavy lifting. 4. Do higher-end AVRs allow different sync settings per input? Yes! Many mid-to-high-end models store audio delay/lip sync per input source. Examples include Denon models with "Master Audio Delay" or similar, where you can set and recall different ms offsets (often 0–500ms) for each HDMI input. This is a big convenience for multiple devices. Check your AVR manual for "Audio Delay," "Lip Sync," or "per input" settings. Additional Best Practices Minimize variables: Disable unnecessary video processing (motion smoothing, noise reduction) on the TV and AVR to reduce video latency. Use "Game" or "Pure Direct" modes where possible for lower lag. HDMI/ARC specifics: Ensure high-quality HDMI cables. eARC is better than ARC for bandwidth and sync negotiation. Power cycle everything (unplug) after big changes. Order of troubleshooting: AVR Auto Lip Sync → Manual AVR delay → Source device tweaks → TV audio delay (last). Test tools: Use built-in sync tests on your devices or YouTube "lip sync test" videos. The Most Effective ways to Circumvent Smart TV Spying Last week we talked about how your TV was spying on what you are watching. This week we discuss how to prevent that from happening. The following are the most effective ways to circumvent smart TV spying and related data collection, ranked from easiest/quickest to most thorough. These also help limit proxy network enrollment in shady apps. 1. Disable ACR Directly in TV Settings (Quickest First Step) Most brands let you turn off Automatic Content Recognition (and related ad/personalization features) without losing core picture quality. Do this on every TV: Samsung: Home button → Sidebar menu → Privacy Choices → Terms & Conditions / Privacy Policy → Uncheck Viewing Information Services (and Interest-Based Ads if present). LG: Settings → General → System → Additional Settings (or Advanced) → Turn Live Plus OFF → Also enable Limit Ad Tracking. Sony: Settings → Initial Setup → Disable Samba Interactive TV. Vizio: System → Reset & Admin → Turn Viewing Data OFF. Roku TV / Roku-based: Settings → Privacy → Smart TV Experience → Uncheck Use Info from TV Inputs. Hisense / TCL: Settings → System or Privacy → Disable Smart TV Experience or Use Info from TV Inputs. Amazon Fire TV: Preferences → Privacy Settings → Turn off data tracking options. After changing, restart the TV. Check the setting again after any software update, as it can reset. Also disable voice assistants, microphones, and cameras (cover them physically if needed). 2. Block Internet Access to the TV (Highly Effective) The simplest long-term fix: Prevent the TV from phoning home at all. Don't connect it to Wi-Fi or Ethernet in the first place. Or, on your router: Create a guest Wi-Fi just for the TV, then use firewall rules, parental controls, or MAC address blocking to stop all outbound internet traffic (while allowing local network access if you stream from a NAS/Plex/Jellyfin). Advanced: Use a tool like Pi-hole or AdGuard Home on your network to block known tracking domains. Pro tip: Many people report the TV works fine (or even faster) for HDMI inputs and local streaming when fully offline. External streaming devices handle all internet needs. 3. Use the TV as a "Dumb" Display Only Treat your smart TV like a big monitor: Connect all content via HDMI from a more private device (never use the TV's built-in apps). Recommended external boxes (in order of privacy-friendliness): Apple TV — Clean interface, minimal tracking, no aggressive ads. NVIDIA Shield or other local-media-focused devices.  Raspberry Pi or HTPC running Kodi/Plex for full local control. This bypasses the TV's OS almost entirely. 4. Go Fully "Dumb" (Most Private Long-Term Solution) Buy a true dumb TV or large computer monitor (no smart features, no Wi-Fi, no ACR). Options exist in smaller sizes or from brands like Westinghouse for basic panels. Pair it with an external streamer or your own computer/laptop via HDMI. Many privacy-focused users prefer this setup over any "smart" panel. Important reality check: Disabling ACR and blocking internet stops most viewing-data collection, but no method is 100% foolproof against every firmware trick or future update. The nuclear option—keeping the TV completely offline and HDMI-only—remains the gold standard for privacy.
