Is Agile Disappearing? - Not Again...For the last two years, we've seen a fairly drastic change in the agile landscape. Large companies have laid off hundreds of thousands of agile and tech jobs (287k in 2023 and 152k in 2024). The job market for new jobs is also very different. You can't just search for Scrum Master or Agile Coach like you used to.Maybe it's because big firms have started treating agile like “a skill not a role”, as mentioned by the Business Agility Institute and scrum alliance in their “Skills in the New World of Work” research paper. You might need to be multiple things, a manager who knows agile or a technologist who knows Scrum. It's a trend that is sad but true, IMO.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Have you ever been so angry about something, voiced your concerns, advocated for a solution, maybe even cried over it, only to have nothing change? The situation remains the same, the person doesn't budge, and your anger lingers, leaving you stuck. What now? In this episode, I explore the exhaustion that comes when we're angry about something that won't shift. You'll discover why anger becomes exhausting when there's no external resolution, what emotions typically hide beneath it, and how to redefine resolution as an internal process rather than an external outcome. You'll also learn practical ways to work with your anger so you can continue advocating for what matters without being undone by what you can't control.

Are we preparing people as quickly as we're preparing machines? That's the uncomfortable question at the heart of Coursera's 2025 Global Skills Report, and the starting point for my conversation with Nikolaz Foucaud, Coursera's Managing Director for EMEA. As the UK jumps more than 20 spots in global skills rankings and countries like Singapore and Denmark widen the gap with lifelong learning cultures, we explore why mindset may be as important as access when it comes to reskilling for an AI-driven economy. Nikolaz explains how the newly introduced AI Maturity Index reflects the growing urgency around workforce readiness and why governments and employers need to stop thinking in degrees and start investing in micro-credentials that reflect what learners and businesses actually need. We also unpack the gender gap in AI learning, the alarming lack of growth in cybersecurity skills, and why economic pressure often drives the highest levels of completion and success. As institutions, employers, and individuals try to catch up with the pace of technological change, what will it take to build a learning culture that keeps momentum? And are we measuring the right things when we talk about readiness? Let me know what you think.
Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you invest in training high-potential employees to grow into leadership roles—or do you prefer to hire seasoned pros from the start? There's no one-size-fits-all approach to building a great team, but today's featured guest has a clear philosophy: when it comes to agency growth, he prefers to develop A-players from within. For him, building the bench is just as important as building the business. Hamlet Azarian is the founder and CEO of Azarian Growth Agency, an agency that works with mid-market venture-backed startups helping them build their go-to-market strategies. He discusses his agency's "build them up" strategy, focusing on continual learning and curiosity through an academy, webinars, and internships, rather than solely hiring seasoned professionals. He'll address the common agency challenge of talent retention, noting that positive experiences can still lead to future referrals and positive word-of-mouth, even if employees eventually move on. It's an interesting episode where we dive into the importance of human capital and fostering a supportive, value-driven environment for agency success. In this episode, we'll discuss: Growing talent from scratch. Promote those who are ready to shine. The secret to employee retention.

From Go-to Fixer to Full Agency Before he was running his own growth agency, Hamlet was the go-to fixer for venture-backed startups in the trenches of pre-product chaos. VCs brought him in as a high-paid consultant to help fragile startups figure out product validation and go-to-market traction — a risky sandbox where there's barely a product and hardly any money. As the companies he touched turned into multi-million-dollar powerhouses, word got around, more VCs lined up, and the Azarian Growth Agency was born. So as he recalls, it wasn't exactly an accidental start, but considering he was helping startups that could barely write a check, he could not see it turning into a full agency in the beginning. A Culture of Relentless Learning One thing Hamlet doesn't compromise on is curiosity. If you run an agency, you know yesterday's marketing tactic is today's LinkedIn meme. So instead of hiring only ‘seasoned experts,' He invests in creating lifelong learners. How? He built Azarian Growth Academy, which trains up-and-coming marketers on the exact growth strategies his agency deploys for high-stakes startups. Add to that a monthly Growth Lab webinar, Udemy courses (4,000+ students and counting), and a robust internship pipeline — and you get a team that knows not just what to do, but why it works. Education is really central for Hamlet so his people don't just follow checklists — they evolve with the market because they understand the principles behind the tactics. Growing Talent from Scratch (and Letting Them Fly) Does it work? Hamlet shares a story that answers that better than any hiring manifesto. One intern joined as a college senior, left, and rejoined when Hamlet officially hung out his agency shingle. When he saw her application, Hamlet immediately hired her, as she knew her aptitude, passion, and even her weaknesses. Within 6 months, she was running paid ads. By year one, she was pitching clients solo. By year two, she was leading teams and today she's a senior department head. The lesson here is drive and curiosity should be backed with training, opportunity, and real trust. The payoff is massive loyalty and in-house expertise that's molded to your agency's playbook — not someone else's. Promotion by Performance, Not the Calendar Forget annual reviews and rigid promotion ladders. Hamlet's approach is simple: Learn fast, deliver results, get rewarded. To him, some people shine faster than others and, as the agency owners, you don't to limit that potential. Of course, you want to prepare them for the new role, so he tests emerging talent on internal agency projects before putting them on client accounts. If they mess up, the agency learns — not the client's bank account. It's a safe sandbox for risk-taking and skill-building, with performance as the only true gatekeeper to moving up. Flexibility: The Secret Sauce to Keeping Good People How can you keep that talent from jumping ship the second they hit senior level? You don't always. And Hamlet says that's perfectly fine. Even with AI evolving daily, Hamlet's clear that an agency's real moat is people — smart, motivated, curious people who feel trusted and supported to do their best work. Tools change. Channels come and go. But the humans who run them? That's your agency's real asset. In his view, the agency's success is predicated on the owner's ability to bring in talented people on to the team and provide a great environment that encourages them to stay. And the definition of “great” in this case may vary from individual to individual, but Hamlet finds that more than perks or a foosball table or free LaCroix, it's about freedom. People need room to live their lives — whether that's hopping on a plane to Italy with the kids, or working flexible hours so family time doesn't clash with client deadlines. When people feel understood and trusted, they stay longer. And if they do leave? They become allies, not competitors. Many send referrals back. Some boomerang and return. And nearly all say, “That's where I learned how to do great work.” That reputation becomes your best recruiting tool — a self-feeding loop of great people wanting in. Experience vs. Fresh Eyes: A Never-Ending Balancing Act There's a million ways to grow an agency and there are no easy answers when it comes to hiring. Even if you hire the “experienced pro,” they can become rigid and slow to adapt — a death knell for early-stage growth marketing where experimentation rules. Hamlet's advice is don't bet the farm on resumes alone. Bet on mindset. Surround yourself with good people who share the same values. Look for curiosity, a love of learning, and the ability to fail, recover, and share lessons. Skills can be taught. Hunger can't. Define what you believe. Hire for it relentlessly. Train for skill, reward growth, and build an environment people don't want to leave — and if they do, they still sing your praises. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

In Part Two, Adaira Landry goes beyond storytelling and gets strategic—explaining how to stop saying yes to everything, avoid burnout, and take back control of your time. She shares how the original title of her book almost became Chisel, why Micro Skills isn't meant to be read cover to cover, and what FOMO vs. JOMO really means in your career.This episode is a mindset shift for anyone who's overcommitted, overextended, or overdue for some clarity. Her message is simple but powerful: just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.Key Highlights of Our Interview:The Book Almost Had Another Name“We wanted to call it Chisel. But it didn't land the way we hoped. Micro Skills captured it better—it's about precise, meaningful action.”Ambition Without Boundaries Isn't Sustainable“I used to say yes to everything. Then I realized—none of it was helping me grow upward. It was just clutter.”Say No to Say Yes“JOMO—the joy of missing out—is real. You don't need to chase every opportunity. You need to choose the right ones.”The Burnout Trap“If you're always working horizontally, you never move vertically. That's not growth. That's noise.”Fast Impact, Not Magic“You don't need a new degree or a big life change.

Before she became a physician, educator, and mentor to hundreds, Adaira Landry felt out of place in nearly every professional room she entered. In Part One, she opens up about entering college at 16, watching a man collapse on campus, and how that moment -- and a painful accident -- pulled her toward medicine. She reflects on growing up without access to mentors, and why that made her even more intentional about creating useful, inclusive career tools later on. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what shaped the voice behind Micro Skills.Key Highlights of Our Interview:When Life Said “Step In”“He collapsed right outside my class. And I just walked toward him. I didn't know what I was doing—but I knew I had to do something.”The moment on campus that first pulled her toward medicine.Burned and Alone“I remember laying on the floor thinking—this isn't how it's supposed to be. I couldn't even call for help.”A personal injury that left her with pain—and perspective.No One Called It Mentorship“We never used that word growing up. It wasn't until grad school that someone even explained what a mentor really does.”Why finding guidance felt so unfamiliar at first.The Confidence Gap“I had to teach myself to stop over-explaining—to just say the thing.”On growing into her voice in high-pressure environments.Why Micro Skills Mattered“I was tired of career advice that was abstract. I wanted to write something people could actually use Monday morning.”The motivation behind a book built for practicality, not prestige._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Adaira Landry MD --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Season 8 continues with our conversations about the new strategic direction at the David Eccles School of Business with a particular focus on the third pillar of the new strategic plan: reputation and legacy. Scott Schaefer is a chair and professor in the division of Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations (QAMO) at the Marriner S Eccles Institute for Economics and Quantitative Analysis. Frances and Scott discuss the legacy of Mariner S. Eccles, the goals of the Institute, and the importance of quantitative skills in business education. Scott elaborates on how the QAMO major equips students with analytical, strategic, and market understanding, preparing them for diverse career paths. Scott also touches upon the societal impact of the institute, the crucial role of faculty research, and the aspirations to position the David Eccles School of Business among the top 10 public business schools by the year 2030.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more athttps://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:3 focal points of the QAMO program[03:55] What we focus on in our program is taking the parts of economics that are really applicable to business decision-making and showing those to undergraduate students and giving them those skills. We like to say we focus on three things in that program. We focus on how markets work. We focus on how to think strategically and how to analyze data.The importance of having quantitative skills[11:57] Frances Johnson: Do you think that sometimes quantitative skills get a little de-emphasized, and why are those skills just as important? Talk about the package and why these quantitative skills have to be as much a part of a successful business education.[13:54] Scott Schaefer: If you're going to rise and lead and really understand all the pieces of an organization, you've got to have the whole package. Not that everybody needs to be [a] calculus genius, but if you don't have quantitative skills enough to understand what the quantitative people in your organization are saying to you, then you know they're going to mislead you for their own purposes, and you're going to run that train right off the tracks. So, I think that the people I've met tend to be incredibly well-rounded. They don't have to be great at everything, but they have to be good enough at everything. It's a very complicated skill set needed to run a business effectively. And I think we should hold business decision-making in higher regard because it's incredibly complicated and also important.How the Marriner S. Eccles Institute is shaping the reputation and legacy of our school[18:04] You know, one of the ways that students could become, for example, the CEO of an S&P 500 company would be to start a career in consulting, transition at some point to that client, and then work their way up through that company. And so, it would be great to have alumni in positions like that, you know, leading the largest companies in the United States. We've had alumni have that career trajectory before. Would be great to have more, to give those opportunities to students. And I think that will increase the prominence of our institution. That's the kind of thing that top 10 public business schools do. And I think we're on the path to getting there. With regard to the reputation of the place, more broadly, outside of just what our alumni do, you know, we've hired outstanding faculty as part of the Marriner S. Eccles Institute. That's a big part of what the original gift was designed to do—to help us build a faculty. And our professors are doing really outstanding economics research that's building our reputation within academia. And so, we have our target set firmly on the top public business schools. You know, we look at a place like Berkeley or Michigan or Indiana or UCLA, and we're looking at who their faculty are and what kind of research they're producing and the societal impact of that research. That's what we're after. And we're really in the process of hitting that mark. Our faculty has really hit their stride over the last few years. And we're very excited for the future.Show Links:Scott Schaefer | Faculty Profile | University of UtahScott Schaefer | LinkedInMarriner S.

Have you ever noticed a behavior or pattern that you know you should change, but you just can't seem to? Whether it's scrolling aimlessly on your phone or saying yes to commitments you don't want, that moment of recognition is where change begins. But what if that moment of awareness, even without immediate change, is more powerful than you think? In this episode, I revisit one of the foundational concepts in behavior change: awareness precedes change. While this idea was introduced in an early episode, my understanding has evolved significantly. You'll learn practical ways to expand your awareness beyond just cognitive observation, including a simple practice you can use anytime.

Jonny Cragg, professional therapist by day – and most of the time, actually – is also the drummer of the rock band, Spacehog. While the boys from Leeds scored a monster hit with "In The Meantime" in the mid '90s, they ultimately produced four critically-acclaimed albums from 1995 to 2013. Still, even MTV mega success can be fleeting, and while critics and fans understood Spacehog matched its larger-than-life spectacle with stellar musicianship, it was easy to incorrectly label the band a one-hit wonder. The group's future seemed unlikely until "Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3" breathed new life into Spacehog, introducing its best-selling record to a new generation.In the meantime (pun intended), Cragg went on to become a licensed mental health professional, intensively trained in both Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. He operates his practice out of Oakland, California, offering concrete skills for clients who are not as comfortable with conventional talk therapy.But in Summer 2025, Cragg picked up his drumsticks once again for Spacehog's first tour in years, a short trip up and down the West Coast – and Andy Tarnoff took the opportunity to catch up with him in Portland, Oregon. The two have been friends and worked together at OnMilwaukee a decade ago – and a pre-show dinner made for a great excuse to record a Deep Dive podcast about the similarities, and obvious differences, between professional therapist and rock band drummer on the road.Video version here: https://youtu.be/bGDtbj2PJrshttps://spacehog.bandhttps://www.jonnycraggcounseling.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/joinChapters:00:00 A Surprising Comeback03:06 The Intersection of Music and Mental Health06:03 Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: A Creative Approach 09:00 Forgiveness and Acceptance in Music and Therapy 11:58 The Current State of the Music Industry 14:52 Future Possibilities for Spacehog

In this episode, Phil interviews Thomas Lahnthaler about his book 'Facilitating Reflections'. They discuss the inspiration behind the book, the role of facilitators, essential skills needed, and the concept of self-harming humility in facilitation. Thomas emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's contributions and the need for facilitators to be aware of their impact on group dynamics. The conversation also touches on the evolution of facilitation practices and the balance between experience and new facilitators. Critique is essential for growth and care. Facilitators should not be the sole source of answers. Facilitation is about navigating human dynamics. Self-harming humility can hinder facilitators' growth. Facilitators need to acknowledge their contributions. Awareness is crucial for effective facilitation. Facilitators should embrace their unique styles. Reflection is key to improving facilitation skills. Facilitators must adapt to each unique group. The book encourages introspection and personal growth.
