Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to experiments in labs or one-off pilot projects. For many enterprises, it is becoming the backbone of how they operate, innovate, and compete. But as companies race to deploy AI, the biggest challenge is not whether the technology works, but whether the foundations exist to scale it safely and effectively. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Christian Buckner, Senior Vice President of Data and AI Platform at Altair, a company known for combining rocket science with data science. Christian unpacks the concept of an AI Fabric, a framework that harmonizes enterprise data and embeds AI directly into a universal model. Rather than scattered tools and isolated projects, the AI Fabric acts as a living system of intelligence, helping organizations move faster, make better decisions, and unlock new kinds of automation. We talk about how global enterprises from automotive suppliers to petrochemical giants are already using Altair's technology to improve safety, optimize production, and cut costs. Christian shares examples including a transportation company that boosted revenue by $50 million in its first year of AI-driven dynamic pricing and a healthcare provider that saved $17 million in analysis time using knowledge graphs for drug discovery. The conversation also explores the hype and the risks around AI agents. While it is easy to spin up a proof of concept with a Python library, Christian explains why real enterprise impact requires governance, monitoring, and infrastructure to make agents trustworthy and sustainable. He likens it to building HR systems for AI, where agents need onboarding, oversight, and performance evaluation to operate alongside humans. We also touch on Altair's acquisition by Siemens and what this means for the future of industrial AI. By integrating Altair's data and AI expertise with Siemens' deep industrial systems, enterprises can add intelligence without ripping out existing infrastructure. The result is not about replacing workers but enabling them to become what Christian calls “10x employees,” augmented by AI tools and agents that multiply their effectiveness. For anyone curious about how AI will change product design, operations, and enterprise decision-making, this episode offers a rare inside look at the technology foundations being built today.

Following a few sleepy weeks in Washington, D.C., Congress returns from recess, where a budget battle is already brewing. Senior Vice President of CRC Advisors Matt Whitlock explains why a funding fight won't work in the Democrats' favor; however, he notes that nobody wins in a government shutdown. Matt describes the current messaging problem that Democrats face and highlights President Trump's approval ratings, which are significantly better at this point in his term than it was during his first term. I Wish Someone Had Told Me: Matt touches on the rise of unaffiliated voters as the 2026 Midterm Elections inch closer.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off the week with our weekly theme of “Church” with Dr. Tim Sisk, as we talked about the importance of not just going to church but being the church. Christ calls us to be a unified body of believers, and the best way to take part in the body is to attend church and fellowship with the spiritual family. Dr. Tim Sisk is Provost and Senior Vice President at the Moody Bible Institute. He started with Moody in 2004, and during his 20 years at Moody, he served in a variety of leadership roles, including chair of the Intercultural Studies Department and dean of faculty for the undergraduate school. We then turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners, “What was the first thing you needed when you came to Christ?” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

“I'm Sorry, Dave.” It's not that George Soros was born in 2008 but he became part of the political zeitgeist that year as we learned about how he helped raise a fortune for the Presidential aspirations of a young Senator from Illinois named Barrack.  Ever since then the specter of Soros and his money has hung over every discussion about democracy in the United States. Last year he announced that he was stepping back from the day-to-day operations in favor of his son Alex, who he calls far more politically active than he ever was, taking over. The fear in Conservative circles was that a more politically aggressive, more targeted Soros organization at Open society would be harder to even keep up with, never mind defeat. The Soros organization is the key pole underneath the tent of a fundraising machine called  Arabella Advisors. They are a philanthropic consulting company that oversees a handful of nonprofits, all of which oversee a multitude of left-leaning projects and organizations. When accounting for the seven nonprofits in the Arabella Network, they provided nearly $1 billion in grants in 2023 alone.  One group that has done an exquisite job all the way to the point of publishing a book on who Arabella Advisors are is the Capital Research Center. Kristen Eastlake, Senior Vice President of the CRC sits down with us at the State Policy Network annual meeting to tell us breaking news that George and more importantly Alex Soros may not have the money they used to have.

Chris Holman welcomes back Kim Bode, Dog rescuer, community advocate, and proud Michigan business owner, 8THIRTY FOUR Integrated Communications, Grand Rapids, MI. Welcome back Kim, the fellowship you shared about a couple times in the past year is back for a second, tell us about it? SBAM designed the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship specifically for second-stage businesses—why is this growth stage such a critical point for women entrepreneurs? Access to capital remains a major barrier, with women receiving significantly smaller loans and less venture funding—how does the fellowship help bridge that gap? The program emphasizes customized mentorship and peer networking. What measurable impacts did you see from the first cohort, and how will those lessons shape this next one? Michigan women own over 44% of small businesses—how does the fellowship leverage SBAM's statewide network to amplify their economic impact? For companies generating $500,000–$1 million in revenue, what key challenges are you seeing most often, and how does the fellowship address them differently than traditional programs? How can they apply? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ The Small Business Association of Michigan Expands Statewide Program for Second-stage Women-owned Businesses The Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship opens applications for a fall cohort to address resources, support, and funding gaps for Michigan women entrepreneurs. The Small Business Association of Michigan, through the SBAM Foundation, is accepting applications for the second cohort of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF), the state's only comprehensive program designed specifically for women-owned businesses that have moved beyond the startup phase. Following the success of its inaugural class, the program will expand to serve 15 participants, with applications due mid-September and programming beginning late fall. "Michigan women entrepreneurs bring bold ideas and unstoppable determination, but too often they lack access to the mentorship and networks that can accelerate their success," said Amy Rencher, Senior Vice President, Small Business & Talent at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). "This unique fellowship program closes that gap, fueling connections with experienced leaders who can open doors, share hard-earned wisdom, and help turn vision into thriving businesses that strengthen our communities and our economy." The fellowship addresses documented disparities that create significant economic opportunity gaps. According to the Wells Fargo 2025 Impact of Women-Owned Businesses Report, if women-owned businesses achieved the same average revenue as men-owned businesses, the U.S. economy would see an additional $10.2 trillion in revenue annually. In Michigan, women own 44.2% of small businesses—902,131 enterprises—yet they receive loans 50% smaller than their male counterparts. Only 2.3% of venture capital reaches women-led firms, while nearly 1 in 3 female entrepreneurs report experiencing sexism as business owners.

As I visit different cities and countries, I find that every financial institution is racing to claim they are “data-driven,” yet, as I dig deeper, I find that few are truly turning data into meaningful action. From personalizing member experiences to unlocking operational efficiency, the ability to transform data into insight — and insight into impact — has become a strategic imperative. Yet the journey from collecting data to scaling it across an organization is filled with cultural, technological, and ethical challenges. On today's episode of Banking Transformed, I'm joined by Jeremiah Lotz, Senior Vice President of Data and Experience Design at Velera. We'll explore what it takes to build not just a data strategy, but a data culture — one that fosters literacy, curiosity, and trust. We'll also discuss how financial institutions can identify when they're ready to scale, the role of AI and governance in driving value, and the new frontiers of data use in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Distributed manufacturing allows goods to be produced closer to where they're needed — but enabling that future requires a complete rethink of infrastructure, systems, and workforce development.In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, Dr. Charles Johnson-Bey joins host Matt Kirchner for a deep dive into Engineering the Future of Distributed Manufacturing — the new national report from the Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA). Charles, a former professor and recently retired Senior Vice President at Booz Allen Hamilton, brings decades of experience in defense, systems engineering, and academia to this conversation.Together, they break down ERVA's five priority areas for enabling distributed manufacturing: modular and reconfigurable infrastructure, digital design tools, edge-to-cloud data systems, workforce education, and new performance metrics. Charles also shares how these priorities came from input across industry, academia, and government — and how they'll guide research, funding, and education in the years ahead.Listen to learn: What distributed manufacturing actually looks like in practice — and why it matters nowWhy “digital twins + AI” are critical for linking design, production, and data-driven decision-makingThe essential role of public infrastructure in enabling connectivity and access for all communitiesWhy proximity to advanced tools like a digital twin or a cyber-physical testbed is essential for scaling distributed manufacturing3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Distributed manufacturing is a modular approach to resilient, tech-enabled production. Charles defines distributed manufacturing as a system where production assets can be easily moved, reconfigured, and localized closer to the point of need. He describes how smaller, agile, and digitally connected systems—like reconfigurable machines and regional testbeds—enable manufacturing to respond to disruptions, like the ones exposed during COVID-19.2. The workforce of the future needs digital fluency—and systems thinking. Students must be prepared not only to operate new technologies, but to understand how those technologies interact within broader systems. Charles highlights the importance of human-machine teaming, digital twins, and cyber-physical testbeds, and calls for education that helps learners “fall in love with the rigor” of complex technical work.3. America's manufacturing strategy must include small and mid-sized firms. Charles points out that most manufacturers in the U.S. are small to mid-sized, yet lack access to advanced infrastructure and scalable tools. He argues that national strategies must focus on democratizing technology—making AI, automation, and data systems affordable and available to all levels of the manufacturing sector.Resources in this Episode:Read the ERVA Report: Engineering the Future of Distributed ManufacturingLearn more about ERVAFollow Charles on LinkedInVisit the episode page for more!We want to hear from you!

Nadia Cobalovic is Senior Vice President at Northern Trust and Global Head of Omnium Services, where she oversees teams encompassing Middle Office Operations, Back Office Administration and Data Delivery. She also contributes to business growth, strategic initiatives and new initiatives. Our conversation starts with her early career aspirations to be a war correspondent and later, to work in U.S. government agencies. Delays and bottlenecks ultimately led to a forced—but serendipitous—pivot into financial services. What began as a temporary role at Citadel became the start of a dynamic 25+ year journey, one that now finds her leading Omnium Services at Northern Trust—still alongside some of the same colleagues who have been part of her career from the very beginning.We speak then about the evolving world of hedge fund services and how AI, cyber security concerns and changing investor and fund needs are shaping it. Moving to career reflections we discuss the importance of giving credit where it is due – sometimes to oneself, and the joys that working for a supportive team – and together – for over 25 years can bring. With thanks to Baillie Gifford for sponsoring Series 4 of 2025.

We're kicking off Season 11 of Our Agile Tales with an eye-opening conversation with Nevine White, Senior VP of Finance at Greater Technology Together and a member of the Beyond Budgeting Round Table. Nevine has spent nearly two decades guiding organizations through the shift from rigid annual budgets to adaptive, rolling financial frameworks that enable true business agility.In this episode, Nevine shares how her journey began in the telecom industry when a bold CFO literally tossed out the company's annual budget, sparking a search for a better way. That search led to adopting rolling forecasts and experimenting quarter by quarter - breaking and remaking processes along the way - to create a more nimble, data-driven, and responsive organization.In this first episode you will hear Nevine's candid stories about the messiness of transformation:What it felt like to see six months of budget work thrown in the trash.Why annual budgets—rooted in 1920s manufacturing—no longer fit today's fast-paced business environment.How rolling forecasts differ from “mini-budgets” and why many companies get them wrong.The cultural and change management challenges that arise when finance stops dictating numbers and starts empowering managers to decide in real time.How aligning finance with agile IT practices unlocked a “spiral of goodness” across the organization.Nevine's insights highlight that there's no one-size-fits-all playbook for financial agility. Instead, transformation requires experimentation, iteration, and courage to question the sacred cows of yearly budgets. Her experiences demonstrate how finance - often seen as the last function to change - can become a catalyst for business agility, resilience, and innovation.About Nevine White:Beginning her 35-year career in telecom engineering, Nevine moved on to leading the FP&A function for TW Telecom for two decades. There she championed powerful changes in financial planning that enabled an agile and effective management structure by eliminating traditional budgets. After the sale of the company, Nevine continued this work with Live Future Ready, leveraging her experience to support organizations in their financial transformation efforts across various industries. In 2019, Nevine joined Hargray Communications Group as the VP Accounting, before taking on building the Finance and Administrative functions for a broadband start-up. She is currently the Senior Vice President of Finance at Greater Technology Together, a leading network and security as a service firm. Recognized for her experience in finance agility and building effective teams, she has been featured at conferences and on podcasts, and enjoys sharing her learnings and experiences with all who are seeking to meaningfully change and enable their teams. You can follow Nevine on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/nevinewhite/Podcast music courtesy of www.purple-planet.comVisit us at https://www.ouragiletales.com/about

Stable value funds are a staple in many 401(k) plans, offering principal protection and steady returns by investing in high-quality bonds. They're particularly popular with participants nearing retirement who want to reduce market risk while still earning a competitive yield. But recent market conditions and interest rate changes have raised new considerations for these low-risk options.In this episode of the 401(k) Specialist Podcast, Matt Condos, Senior Vice President of Retirement Plan Services Product Solutions at Lincoln Financial, provides insights on stable value's role in today's retirement landscape, how it compares to money market funds during periods of rising interest rates, and the contract features—like put provisions—that plan sponsors and advisors need to understand. He also examines evolving product designs aimed at improving liquidity and transparency while still offering the stability participants expect.Three Key InsightsUnderstanding Put Provisions and Liquidity NeedsAdvisors and plan sponsors must understand put provisions, which delay withdrawals during plan-level changes. With increased scrutiny on liquidity, new short-duration stable value products with transparent crediting rates are emerging to offer flexibility without sacrificing security.Stable Value Funds Offer Long-Term StabilityStable value funds continue to play a critical role in retirement portfolios by providing principal protection and steady returns—especially during times of market volatility. Participants nearing retirement particularly value the stability and predictable growth these products offer.Misconceptions vs. Money Market FundsAlthough money market funds can temporarily outperform stable value funds when short-term rates spike, stable value typically outpaces money markets over the long term. Their ability to amortize rate changes and invest further along the yield curve offers strategic advantages.The views expressed are those of the speaker/writer and not necessarily those of any Lincoln Financial® affiliate.

Decades of failed immigration reform and political half-measures have left millions of immigrants in the U.S. without a path to legal status. Instead, families are being torn apart by harsh deportation policies, asylum seekers are forced into the shadows, and U.S. citizen children live in daily fear of losing their parents. In this episode, I speak with Jessica Orozco Guttlein, Senior Vice President for Policy and Communications at the Hispanic Federation, about how we got here—and what it will take to repair the damage. We examine the legacy of the 1986 immigration reform, the repeated failure to pass the DREAM Act, and how policies like the Laken Riley Act deepen racial profiling and destabilize communities. Jessica also sheds light on the resilience of mixed-status families, the role of industries that quietly depend on immigrant labor, and why restoring due process must be central to any meaningful reform. Together, we consider how piecemeal solutions—like securing citizenship pathways for Dreamers—can begin to rebuild trust, reunite families, and prevent history from repeating itself. (00:00) Broken Immigration System and Political Stalemate Inadequate immigration policies and deportation destabilize families and communities, highlighting the need for comprehensive reform and recognition of immigrant contributions. (13:29) Challenges in US Asylum Policy The U.S. asylum system faces challenges due to policy changes, lack of resources, and removal of protections for immigrants. (24:31) Impact of Immigration Policies on Communities Immigrants in the US face fear and uncertainty due to increased enforcement policies, affecting sectors like hospitality and healthcare. (32:01) Restoring Due Process in Immigration The Laken Riley Act grants local police immigration authority, impacting mixed-status families and emphasizing the need for legislative action and due process restoration. (36:08) Immigration Backlog and Justice System The recent tax and spending bill highlights concerns about immigration enforcement priorities and the need for fair reforms.

Think running an insurance company or a bank is hard?  Try doing it as an African-American woman in the Jim Crow South.  Shennette Garrett-Scott's new book, Banking on Freedom: Black Women in U.S. Finance Before the New Deal (Columbia University Press, 2019) tells the fascinating story of just such an endeavor, first the Independent Order of St. Luke, and then the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, founded in Richmond in 1903.  Along the way, she tells the tale of force-of-nature strong women, particularly Maggie Lena Walker, who wouldn't take no for an answer as she built up a culture of business and entrepreneurship against incredibly long odds and never-ending efforts by regulators and competitors to thwart her efforts. It makes for gripping reading. Daniel Peris is Senior Vice President at Federated Investors in Pittsburgh.
