November 12, 2025: PwC's 2025 Global Workforce Survey exposes a growing gap between empowered and excluded workers. Across Australia, employees are already facing the reality of AI-driven job disruption. A WIRED feature explores a startup run entirely by AI agents—including executives—raising new questions about what leadership looks like when teammates aren't human. Amazon announces a massive $2.5 billion investment to upskill 50 million people worldwide. New research from Yahoo UK and Modern Sciences shows AI is reshaping pay and opportunity, rewarding those who work with technology instead of against it. And Honeywell CEO Vimal Kapur tells Fortune why AI isn't just a tool—it's a complete redesign of how business operates.

Marcia Ballinger, co-author of The 20-Minute Networking Meeting and author of Winning the Executive Interview, brings decades of experience in executive search and human resources. She specializes in recruiting nonprofit CEOs and helping professionals master relationship-building, interviewing, and networking. Marcia explains that interviewing is not about performance or selling yourself, but about authentic, relational conversations that help both sides assess fit. She shares insights from years of observing real interviews, offering a rare look at what hiring leaders truly think when candidates leave the room. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Marcia reveals how to approach interviews as high-stakes, million-dollar decisions, where listening, curiosity, and confidence matter more than rehearsed answers. She breaks down the four types of interview questions—skills, style, risk mitigation, and logistics—and explains how to answer each effectively. Marcia emphasizes that the goal isn't just to “get the job,” but to find the right one. The candidates who win are those who stay calm, thoughtful, and discerning, proving that the most successful interviewees are the choosiest ones. Quotes: If you find yourself selling in an interview, close your folio, thank them, and leave. You're not getting the job.” “An interview is a million-dollar decision. The smartest candidates approach it like a consultant, not a salesperson.” “Winning the interview isn't about perfection. It's about having an authentic conversation and deciding if it's the right fit for both sides.” “The candidates who get the job aren't the loudest. They're the ones who listen, think, and stay curious.” Resources: Connect with Marcia Ballinger on LinkedIn Winning the Executive Interview on Amazon

How do schools prepare for the changing landscape of both education and business with the pace of advancements in technology and specifically in artificial intelligence (AI)? What lessons were learned from the rapid shift to digital that happened during the pandemic and how can that knowledge improve the way higher education works today?Shawn Miller is the Associate Provost for Digital Learning and Strategy at Rice University. Shawn serves as the key steward of Rice's digital strategy where he leverages best practices already in place across the University and also introduces new approaches and collaborations to be scaled.Shawn and host David Mansouri discuss the transformative impact of digital learning and AI on higher education. Shawn shares his career journey, from his time at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and Duke University, through to his current role at Rice. Their conversation explores Rice's vision for digital education, the integration of AI tools in learning, and the future of teaching and learning at Rice. Shawn also highlights the challenges and ethical concerns related to AI, including the aspects of AI in education that he is more interested in than using it to just continue the way things were taught before. Shawn also lays out his view of some essential skills students need to thrive in an AI-powered world.Let us know you're listening by filling out this form. We will be sending listeners Beyond the Hedges Swag every month.Episode Guide:01:01 Shawn Miller's introduction and background06:16 The Vision for Digital Learning at Rice14:23 Impact of COVID-19 on Digital Learning19:30 Integrating AI into Education at Rice23:47 Promising AI Applications in Teaching26:19 AI's Role in Learning and Analytics28:55 Challenges and Ethical Concerns of AI33:14 Skills for an AI-Powered World35:52 Future of Teaching and Learning at Rice38:51 Rapid Fire QuestionsBeyond The Hedges is a production of Rice University and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Rethinking education in the age of AI27:39: What's really most frustrating to me about the first wave of AI education tools that we got thrown at us, right, as institutions—and I'm talking even about startups—they're mostly founded on the idea that whatever we are doing now in classes and in teaching is somehow the right way to do it, right? So, it's like, how can you speed up creating better multiple-choice tests, right? Or how could you grade all these papers that you've got to grade, right? Well, maybe the outcome for that class isn't that you should write a paper in the first place, right? But now is our chance to ask that. And I know this is frustrating for faculty…[28:61] But it's a good opportunity for us to, but then it's been frustrating to have all these edtech ventures come out where it's like, “But AI could make all the things better!” And it's like, yeah, but you're talking about making traditional education faster, cheaper, more productive. You're not talking about helping people learn better.What's a better question for AI in education11:16: Maybe the answer for AI is not what can you have the AI do that you used to do, as much as what can I do even more of or even better. And I think that's a good mindset for us to be in, in education.The pandemic digital experience15:34: I think you have two things that people tend to say about the pandemic digital learning experience. One is that it was horrible, and they'd never want to do it again. Then, for those who knew about online learning or had done it before the pandemic, they'll say, “Well, that's because no one did it right,” quote unquote. And I think we can honor both of those viewpoints. But I'd also say that we learned a few things, right? One thing is most faculty learned how to use the LMS and Zoom. And if you think back pre-COVID, how many people could launch a webinar or call a virtual meeting, right? And how many staff did it take to set up a global web conference? It was incredibly expensive. It took a lot of time. You had to schedule it, and now people just trigger these things, right? I think the second thing we learned is that hybrid work can definitely work. And I've gone on record a few times saying that the future of work maybe parallels the future of hybrid and online learning.Show Links:Rice Digital Learning and StrategyRice AlumniAssociation of Rice Alumni | FacebookRice Alumni (@ricealumni) | X (Twitter)Association of Rice Alumni (@ricealumni) | Instagram Host Profiles:David Mansouri | LinkedInDavid Mansouri '07 | Alumni | Rice UniversityDavid Mansouri (@davemansouri) | XDavid Mansouri | TNScoreGuest Profiles:Shawn Miller | Faculty ProfileShawn Miller | LinkedIn ProfileShawn Miller | Social Profile on X

This week, we sit down with Liz Reeves, Director of Client Care Operations at a North Carolina-based healthcare software company backed by Bertelsmann, to unpack a deceptively simple question: how do you use AI to reduce admin work without diluting the human experience? We go deep on “human first, human last,” the realities of a highly regulated industry, and why agentic AI belongs behind the scenes—freeing teams to spend more time with customers and clinicians, not less.Liz shares how her org supports everything post-sale (customer education, community, chat, quality, and tooling for CS, Support & ProServ), plus concrete ways AI is elevating sales outreach (data-driven “next best” motions), implementation (shorter time-to-value), and support (less swivel-chair, more relationships). We also dig into hiring for the next five years—resiliency, intellectual agility, and relentless curiosity over narrow hard skills—and the downstream impact: when you remove administrative burden, patients ultimately benefit. Cameos include Sean's ultramarathons, Klarna's course correction on AI, and Lucy the very good dog. If you're thinking about AI in healthcare, customer experience, or building fast-moving post-sale teams, this one's for you.

Finding time for devotion is one of those things that sounds easy in theory. We imagine ourselves sitting at a sunny table with our Bible open and a gentle breeze floating through the window. But in reality, we might be snatching a few minutes in the middle of the grocery store parking lot before running inside or reading a verse on our phone while waiting in line at the bank. If you struggle to find time in your day for devotions, then listen in. I'll help you find a few of those precious moments, no matter how busy your day gets.Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

You'll hear them talk about: How to find a provider who's actually experienced with vaginal twin births The real deal on ECVs, breech twins, and what “mono-mono” and “mono-di” really mean How to advocate for your birth plan even when you're having multiples If you're expecting twins, or just want to understand how broken our twin birth system has become, this episode is your blueprint for making informed, confident choices and protecting your power in the birth room. 00:00 Introduction to Twin Births 01:07 Welcome to The Birth Lounge Podcast 01:14 Black Friday Sale Announcement 02:29 The Birth Lounge Overview 09:52 Special Guest: Dr. Stu Fischbein 10:21 Challenges and Misconceptions About Twin Births 11:25 Dr. Stu's Background and Expertise 12:48 Navigating Twin Births in the Medical System 14:15 The Importance of Informed Consent 15:51 Current Landscape of Twin Births 20:49 Training and Skills in Obstetrics 35:34 Risks and Realities of Twin Births 57:29 Legislation and Training in Midwifery 59:07 Economic Incentives in Birth Practices 01:00:16 Personal Experience with Baby Gear 01:03:31 Cost Analysis of C-Sections vs. Vaginal Births 01:04:50 Hospital Policies and C-Section Rates 01:08:44 Historical Perspective on Birth Practices 01:14:08 Twin Births: Hospital vs. Home 01:20:30 Challenges in Breech Deliveries 01:24:27 External Cephalic Version (ECV) Insights 01:30:42 Timing and Risks in Twin Deliveries 01:40:07 Final Thoughts and Advice for Expecting Mothers   Guest Bio: Stuart J.

Show NotesGuest: Dr. Jeremiah Sturgill — Founder, Sturgill Orthodontics; Co-founder, Go Unicorn Strategy (concierge SEO/SEM for orthodontists).Learn more: https://gounicornstrategy.comWhy another company? A veteran ads/SEO partner (ex-HGTV/Discovery; managed ~$50k/day in Google Ads for a private client) audited ortho sites and found pretty but underperforming builds. Early tests drove measurable gains in qualified Google referrals; the two formalized a boutique service.Boutique by design: Targeting ~20–30 practices so one point of contact knows your brand, market dynamics, and projects end-to-end.Inside-out marketing: Don't pour money into ads until the phones, web forms, and team follow-up are dialed in. Track missed calls (goal: zero), record and review, and role-play quarterly.Feedback loop that works: Ads go live → the team tags outcomes (show/start/no-show) → campaigns are adjusted to favor demographics, keywords, and offers that convert in your market.Budget truth: Tiny spends create noise, not signal. Commit to a test period and a budget that can generate statistically useful data; adjust by market competition (it's a real auction).Brand over commodity: Build a site that sells your culture and trust, not “$500 off aligners.” If your web vibe doesn't match the in-office experience, trust evaporates.Pricing with confidence: If you deliver Four Seasons-level service, don't set Motel 6-level fees. You're not everyone's cup of tea—and that's healthy positioning.Language matters: For out-of-network calls, lead with help (“We can file Delta for you… let's get you scheduled…”) rather than a hard “We're out of network.”AI on the horizon: Jeremiah is building a practice “master prompt” to capture decisions, SOPs, and red-flag handoffs so teams ask the system before they page the doctor.Practical TakeawaysFix the fundamentals first: Fast phones, fast follow-up, and a brand-true website before buying more traffic.Measure what matters daily: Missed calls, call length outliers, and lead outcomes by source—then tune campaigns accordingly.Fund real tests: Set a market-appropriate budget and time horizon; dabbling hides the truth.Sell the who, not the what: Lead with trust, culture, and clarity; avoid commodity framing.Close the loop with training: Quarterly role-play on the hardest questions your team actually hears.MentionedGo Unicorn Strategy: https://gounicornstrategy.comAcquired podcast (Google series)Scheduling Institute (Jay Geier) — phone excellenceDan Kennedy — back-end sales before better adsCliftonStrengths “WOO” — why trying to win everyone over can hurt decisionsFour Seasons/Ritz-Carlton service standards as a pricing/positioning lensPast related episodes: Dr. Jamie Reynolds; Dr. Ben Fishbein.Subscribe to The Burleson Box wherever you listen. ***The Burleson Box is brought to you by OrthoFi:Grow More.

Boring Problems, Big Wins, Community‑Driven AI Adoption AI is not overhyped, it is under-implemented. Ken Roden and Erin Mills chat with Sheena Miles on how to move from tool obsession to behavior change, her three stage framework, and the practical KPIs that prove progress before revenue shows up. We also talk AI policy that unlocks safe experimentation, community as an accelerator, and Sheena demos how she spins up n8n workflows from a prompt. Chapter markers 00:00, Cold open and disclaimer 01:00, Is AI overhyped, what is really failing 03:20, Early indicators versus lagging revenue, set better goals 04:20, Exec view, target 3 percent faster time to market 06:00, Avoid AI slop, find repetitive, boring work 07:00, Guest intro 09:00, Real state of adoption, dual speed orgs and siloed champions 10:45, Teach concepts, not tools 12:00, Policy, security review, AI council 14:00, Behavior beats features 15:30, Community for accountability and shared assets 17:30, Live n8n demo, import a skeleton workflow and adapt 35:00, AI first versus AI native, embed into workflows 36:30, Influence without authority, solve a champion's boring problem 38:00, Inclusion and usage gaps, why it matters to the business 40:00, Skills that matter now, prompting, rapid testing, communicating thought process 43:00, Why to be optimistic 45:00, Lightning round 48:00, Host debrief and takeaways Key takeaways Hype versus reality, most failures are vague goals and tool-first rollouts, not AI itself. • Measure what you can now, speed to market, cycle time, sprint throughput, ticket deflection, before revenue. • Framework, Activate, Amplify, Accelerate, start small, spread what works, then institutionalize. • Policy unlocks velocity, simple rules for data and tool vetting plus a cross functional council. • Behavior over features, learn inputs and outputs so skills transfer across tools. • Community compounds, accountability and shared templates speed learning. • Start with boring problems, compliance questionnaires, asset generation, ticket clustering, call insights. • AI first versus AI native, move from sidecar to embedded with human review gates. • Inclusion is a business lever, close usage gaps or accept a productivity gap. Sheena's three stage framework Activate, prove value safely • Define the problem, validate AI fit, run a small pilot. • Track accuracy thresholds and time saved. • Example, auto draft responses to repetitive compliance questionnaires from a vetted knowledge base. Amplify, spread what works • Connect adjacent teams, add light governance, share patterns. • Run cross team pilots and publish playbooks. • Example, connect support tickets, payments, compliance, partner success to detect issues proactively. Accelerate, institutionalize • Assign ownership, embed training, integrate tools, set ROI guardrails. • Roll out across channels and systems with quality gates. • Example, ad copy system owned by demand gen, content as QA, used across paid, email, social. Hot Takes from Sheena “Policy enables speed if you write it to unblock safe experiments.” “Stop memorizing tool steps, learn the concepts so they transfer.” “Solve the boring problem first, that is where AI pays for itself.” “If NRR belongs to someone, it belongs to everyone.” Resources & Links Sheena Miles on LinkedIn Women Defining AI, podcast and community n8n About FutureCraft Stay tuned for more insightful episodes from the FutureCraft podcast, where we continue to explore the evolving intersection of AI and GTM.

I've been in the real estate game for a long time, and I've learned this truth—if you can master a few simple skills, you'll never have to worry about money again. Too many investors overcomplicate things when this business really comes down to fundamentals. Whether you're wholesaling houses, flipping land, or holding rentals, the same principles apply.In this episode, I'm breaking down the five most important skills that every real estate wholesaler must master. We'll talk about marketing, talking to sellers, making offers, following up, and being brilliant at the basics. If you just focus on these five, you'll do more deals and make more money than you ever thought possible. These are the same skills my students use to quit their jobs and build real businesses.What's Inside:—Why marketing is the lifeblood of every real estate business—The simple mindset shift to get over the fear of talking to sellers—How to make offers that get accepted (and why you should send them in writing)—The secret behind consistent follow-up that closes 90% of deals
