    Send us Fan MailIn this special Pax8 Beyond '26 feature of Partnerships Unraveled, we sit down with Scott Sacket, Senior Vice President of Partner Strategy at AvePoint. With 19 years at AvePoint and a background as a former managed service provider, Scott brings a rare blend of vendor and channel perspectives on how partnership programs and data governance are evolving in the AI era.Scott opens with the story of AvePoint's shift from direct-first to a channel-driven business, one that now sees 100% growth in partner-sourced bookings for multiple quarters. He then explains how AvePoint has redesigned its partner program, moving away from the traditional revenue-tiered model to a points-based system that recognizes the many ways partners create value. Certifications, product mix, team training breadth, co-marketing, pre-sales, technical support, and renewal rates all count alongside revenue. It's a program built around the idea that partners come in all shapes and sizes, and every large partner today started as a small one worth investing in.From there, the conversation turns to what's happening now in the market. Scott makes the case that AI has kicked off a governance gold rush for managed service providers. AvePoint has been doing data governance for 25 years, well before the term was popular, and the current AI moment is bringing new relevance to that expertise. He shares a striking gap: 75% of companies have already built or tested AI agents, and 70% have no governance plan in place. Every agent needs an owner and a governance framework, and the partners delivering that will be in the strongest position ahead.Scott closes with a mantra that fits the pace of the AI era: fail forward. Move fast, try things, focus on the partners and customers you serve, and remember that what's important today probably won't be in twelve months._________________________Learn more about Channext

    Former FBI Director JAMES COMEY talks to Paul Burke about his novel RED VERDICT, The FBI, being a socially adept introvert, Russian operations in America, the inspiration for Nora and Benny and The Kansas City Massacre. RED VERDICT THE MURDER OF THE YEAR. THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY.An influential defense company executive sits down for dinner at an exclusive restaurant in Manhattan. It's the last meal he will ever eat.The food was spiked with Novichok in a hit that suggests Russian involvement. It sends a chilling message to the FBI – but what, exactly? And why kill this man now?Deputy US Attorney Nora Carleton launches a criminal investigation into the most dangerous individuals she has ever faced, putting herself and her family in the crosshairs of forces determined to keep their secrets buried.If she can't land a guilty verdict, she risks losing more than her life – the security of the entire country will be compromised. James Comey served as the seventh Director of the FBI, from 2013 until May 9, 2017, when he was fired by Donald Trump. A Yonkers, New York native, Jim Comey attended the College of William and Mary and the University of Chicago Law School. After law school, Comey returned to New York and joined the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. There, he took on numerous crimes, most notably organized crime in the case of the United States v. John Gambino, et al. Afterwards, Comey became an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, where he handled the high-profile case that followed the 1996 terrorist attack on the U.S. military's Khobar Towers in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Comey returned to New York after 9/11 to become the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. At the end of 2003, he was tapped to be the Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice (DOJ) under then-U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and moved to the Washington, D.C. area. Comey left DOJ in 2005 to serve as General Counsel and Senior Vice President at defense contractor Lockheed Martin. Five years later, he joined Bridgewater Associates, a Connecticut-based investment fund, as its General Counsel. In early 2013, Comey became a Lecturer in Law, a Senior Research Scholar, and Hertog Fellow in National Security Law at Columbia Law School. After he was fired as FBI Director, Comey held the King Lecture Chair in Public Policy at Howard University for 2017-18 and served as a Distinguished Lecturer in Public Policy at William and Mary for 2018-2019. In September 2020, his first book, "A Higher Loyalty," was made into a Showtime limited series, "The Comey Rule."

    Columbus' major airports are much more than places to catch a flight.

    You’ve been asked: “So, what are you going to do all day?” You have an answer. But privately, you admit it’ll cover 2 to 3 hours a day. You deserve a better, richer retirement. Join our next Design Your New Life in Retirement small group program in September. Learn more and sign up today. ________________________ Dr. Jordan Grumet has crafted three books mapping the terrain between money, mortality, and meaning. His new book, The Healthcare Heist, opens with a story he rarely tells. That experience became the seed of a much bigger argument: that insurers, pharmaceutical companies, private equity and venture capital firms, and electronic medical records companies all have their “hands in the cookie jar,” extracting value from a system that’s supposed to serve two primary stakeholders: the patient who needs care and the doctor who gives it. Jordan calls out the “intimacy gap” where today patients disclose everything to their doctors, while doctors are trained to disclose nothing back. He makes a provocative case that it can be closed through storytelling.  He also shares practical and valuable advice you can use: concrete steps for your next doctor’s visit and the healthcare-literacy gaps that trip up many people heading into retirement. _________________________ Bio Jordan Grumet, MD is a hospice physician who has spent his career at the intersection of medicine, money, and meaning. He’s the author of Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor’s Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life and The Purpose Code: How to Unlock Meaning, Maximize Happiness, and Leave a Lasting Legacy. His latest book, The Healthcare Heist, argues that patients and doctors are the only two parties with both the incentive and the ability to fix a broken healthcare system — and makes the case for shared storytelling as the tool to do it. Jordan earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and his medical degree from Northwestern University. __________________________ For More on Jordan Grumet, MD The Healthcare Heist:How Physicians and Patients Can Unite to Transform Healthcare The Purpose Code – Dr. Jordan Grumet Taking Stock – Dr. Jordan Grumet __________________________ Other Podcast Episodes You’ll Also Love Eat Your Ice Cream – Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, PhD What Matters Most – Diane Button ___________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

    Why AI's Future Depends on Smarter Energy with Schneider Electric

    Have you ever stopped to think about what really powers the AI revolution? While the conversation often focuses on the latest models, chips, and applications, the real story may lie in something far less visible: the energy systems and digital architecture that make it all possible. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome Sadiq Syed, Senior Vice President of Digital Energy Software at Schneider Electric, to discuss why the future of electrification depends as much on software as it does on hardware. As demand for AI continues to grow at an extraordinary pace, data centers are consuming increasing amounts of electricity, putting pressure on aging grids and exposing the limitations of traditional approaches to energy management. During our conversation, Sadiq explains why electrification alone cannot deliver global decarbonization goals. Without intelligent software capable of monitoring, predicting, and optimizing energy usage, businesses risk wasting valuable resources while struggling to meet rising demand. We discuss why AI may ultimately become the technology that helps solve the energy challenges it has helped create, using continuous analytics and predictive intelligence to improve efficiency across complex environments. We also examine the growing regulatory pressure. With more than a thousand energy-related regulations introduced around the world in recent years, compliance has become part of everyday operations rather than an occasional reporting exercise. Sadiq explains why organizations should stop viewing compliance as an administrative burden and instead see it as an opportunity to build trust, strengthen resilience, and improve operational performance. Another area we explore is digital resilience. Whether supporting hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, or mission-critical data centers, modern infrastructure depends on uninterrupted operations. Sadiq shares why cybersecurity, predictive maintenance, unified operational visibility, and connected digital platforms are becoming central to maintaining uptime while helping organizations make better use of limited energy resources. The conversation also turns to people. As experienced engineers retire and younger generations enter the workforce with very different expectations, organizations face an urgent challenge: modernizing the tools they provide. We discuss how intuitive digital platforms can reduce complexity, shorten training time, attract the next generation of technical talent, and make daily operations easier to manage. Throughout our discussion, one message remains consistent. The future of sustainable infrastructure is built on the combination of electrification, automation, and intelligent software. From AI-enabled operational insights to connected energy management platforms, technology is becoming the foundation that allows businesses to balance performance, sustainability, regulatory requirements, and resilience in an increasingly unpredictable world. Is the biggest challenge facing AI actually an energy challenge? And if software is becoming the foundation for modern electrification, how prepared is your organization for what comes next? I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening.

The founder of the Say It Now movement joins us to share his journey, his new book The Gratitude Express, a deceptively simple question that replaces “What should I do?” in retirement, and why he decided to reimagine rather than retire. ___________________ Bio Walter Green's father died when he was a teenager and it left an indelible impression on him that life is short, precious, and unpredictable. Walter decided it was never too early and not too late to express his profound appreciation for those who had impacted his life. That is when he began his journey of seeking out those people who made a significant impact. It was the moment to share his gratitude with them. Walter Green was Chairman of the Board and CEO of Harrison Conference Services for 25 years, during which time it grew into the leading conference center management company in the U.S. He has lectured at the Wharton Graduate School of Business and Hofstra and Long Island universities, as well as being featured as an expert on the topic of effective meetings in numerous national publications.

    How AI Is Personalizing Every Stage of the Guest Journey with Agilysys

    How is AI changing the way we choose hotels, and what does that mean for the businesses trying to deliver unforgettable guest experiences? In this episode, I speak with Frank Pitsikalis, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy and Chief Marketing Officer at Agilysys, about how AI is changing hospitality from the very first search through to every interaction a guest has during their stay. Travel planning is already changing. More travelers are turning to AI assistants instead of traditional search engines or online travel agencies, asking detailed questions about destinations, dining, activities, and experiences. That creates both an opportunity and a challenge for hotels. If AI is recommending experiences rather than simply rooms, hospitality businesses need technology behind the scenes that can actually deliver on those promises. Frank explains why connected systems have become the foundation for modern hospitality. For many years, hotels invested in individual systems for reservations, restaurants, spas, golf courses, and guest services. While each application may have worked well on its own, they often failed to share information in meaningful ways. As AI becomes more capable, those disconnected systems become increasingly difficult to work around. We also explore how leading hospitality brands are changing the way they measure success. Rather than focusing solely on room occupancy, many are now looking at total guest spend across dining, wellness, entertainment, and other services. Frank explains how better use of guest data helps properties create more personalized experiences while also improving operational performance and profitability. Another fascinating part of our discussion centers on personalization. We talk about what genuine one-to-one guest experiences look like when AI helps staff understand preferences, dietary requirements, previous visits, and even customer sentiment before every interaction. Rather than replacing hospitality professionals, AI is giving them the information they need to create memorable experiences that feel thoughtful and genuinely personal. Throughout our conversation, Frank returns to a simple but powerful idea. Technology works best when it disappears into the background, allowing people to focus on serving people. AI may be changing how guests discover, book, and experience travel, but hospitality will always be judged by how people are made to feel. If you work in hospitality, customer experience, or enterprise technology, this conversation offers a practical look at how connected data, AI, and operational excellence are coming together to redefine the guest journey. As AI becomes part of every stage of travel, is your business building the connected experiences that today's guests increasingly expect?
