February 24, 2026: Five major stories broke in the last 24 hours at the intersection of AI and the future of work — and they're all in conversation with each other. Anthropic launched Claude directly inside Excel, PowerPoint, and Slack, making its biggest move yet into everyday knowledge work. A Federal Reserve governor said on the record that if AI drives unemployment, interest rate cuts — the government's go-to economic tool — may not be able to fix it. Goldman Sachs revealed that despite hundreds of billions in AI investment, it may have contributed almost nothing to U.S. economic growth last year. Yale's Budget Lab pushed back on the AI productivity revolution narrative, saying the data simply doesn't support it yet. And a financial research firm's fictional scenario set in 2028 went so viral it triggered a major market selloff.  

Few players embodied flair, freedom, and pure footballing romance quite like David Ginola. In this episode, we dive into his unforgettable Premier League career, a spell defined by outrageous skill, stunning goals, and a maverick spirit that lit up English football in the 1990s. Curling screamers into the top corner, gliding past defenders, and playing with a freedom that won the hearts of fans all over the country, he delivered some of the Premier League's most beautiful goals. He had style, swagger, flowing hair, and he remains one of the most effortlessly charismatic figures the league has ever seen. The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

PING. PONG. Und dein Tag ist weg. WhatsApp. Slack. „Ganz kurze Frage.“ „Kannst du mal schnell…?“ „Was meinst du dazu?“ Ping. Pong. Ping. Pong. Und am Ende ist nichts entschieden. Das Problem ist nicht dein Team. Das Problem ist fehlende Entscheidungsstruktur. Ping-Pong-Nachrichten entstehen, wenn: 1. Zuständigkeiten nicht klar sind. 2. Entscheidungen nicht final formuliert werden. 3. Fragen ohne Rahmen gestellt werden. 4. Der Chef permanent erreichbar wirkt. 5. Niemand den Entscheidungsraum sauber definiert. 6. Kommunikation wichtiger wirkt als Verantwortung. Das kostet Fokus. Das zerreißt deinen Tag. Und es hält dich operativ klein. Wenn du Unternehmer oder Chef bist und merkst, dass du den ganzen Tag reagierst statt führst – dann schau dir meine aktuelle YouTube-Folge an. Dort zeige ich dir konkret, wie du Ping-Pong stoppst und wieder Klarheit in dein System bringst. Ich wünsche dir ein Charisma-Aha, trau dich DU zu sein, deine Silke und ein Lächeln. In Podcastfolge #354 „Giftige Kommunikation im Business“, erfährst du unter anderem: ✨ Wieso du bei manchen Mitarbeitern nach drei Nachrichten schon explodieren könntest. ✨ Woran es liegt, wenn du ständig erreichbar bist – und trotzdem nichts wirklich vorankommt. ✨ Warum du dich am Ende des Tages fühlst, als hättest du gearbeitet, aber nicht geführt. ✨

The Truth About What It Takes (And What No One Tells You) Everyone talks about the four-day workweek like it's some magical finish line. Work less, live more, finally breathe. But nobody talks about what it actually takes to make it work when you're running a real business with real responsibilities and a team that's counting on you. I've been doing this for years now, and I'm going to tell you exactly what it looks like. Some Fridays I work and some Fridays my team does too. There are seasons where everything spills over and four days just aren't enough. To accommodate more off time, we had to rebuild how this entire company operates. How we run meetings, how we communicate, how we protect our time, all of it. And that's the part nobody tells you. I went to my team and asked them to be honest about what's actually working about a four-day workweek and what's genuinely hard. Their answers surprised me. One person said she feels like she did something wrong when she has to work a Friday, even when that's not true. Another said she's a hundred times more productive now because she has no choice but to be. This is the real version. The systems, the trade-offs, and the moments when having that extra day back is worth it all. If you've been wondering whether this could ever work for you, this episode will give you the full picture. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: You've built something real. Revenue, audience, offers that work. But the results still don't match what you know you're capable of. The Revenue Consistency Formula is a FREE Live training for six-figure female founders who are done with inconsistent results and ready to understand what's out of sync so their messaging, offers, and lead generation can finally work together. Click here to register now. Previous Episode: How We Launched Our 4-Day Workweek Experiment Shorter by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang Asana Slack Google Calendar HubSpot HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ You'll Be More Productive, Not Less — When you only have four days, you stop tolerating the things that waste your time. One of my team members said she's a hundred times more productive now because she works fewer hours. The intensity goes up, but so does the focus. No more endless meetings, no more context switching, no more "I'll get to it later." When Friday is on the line, you protect your time fiercely. 2️⃣ It Only Works If You Have Systems — You can't just remove a day and expect everything to fit. We protect Mondays and Thursdays as no-meeting days. Deadlines land on Thursdays. We changed our expectations around communication. Without these systems, a four-day workweek falls apart. With them, it runs smoother than five days ever did. 3️⃣ You'll Still Work Some Fridays And That's Okay — Secret's out. A four-day workweek doesn't mean you never work on Friday. During busy seasons, my team and I both do. But there's a difference between a Friday you're forced to work and a Friday you choose to work with no meetings, no Slack, no interruptions.  MORE FROM ME Follow me on Instagram @amyporterfield SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

Few AI products have found the kind of product-market fit we've seen from Claude Code. On the eve of the product's first anniversary, Anthropic's Boris Cherny explains why Claude Code is so powerful, all the work left to do, and why he no longer writes any code himself. After that, The Verge's Hayden Field joins the show to talk about how we should think about giving our data (and our computers) to AI, even when it seems useful. Finally, The Verge's Allison Johnson helps David answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (866-VERGE11) about whether you should go buy a phone, like, right now.

Hey friends! This episode is such a special one because I'm bringing one of my real-life clients back on the pod to talk about something I've never fully unpacked here before: my Best Life Ever Mastermind.But this is NOT just one giant commercial. This episode is about helping you start implementing these principles right now. Today. On your random Tuesday in February.Kelly shares what her life looked like before---corporate grind, 13 Zoom meetings a day, Slack messages at 5am, clenching her jaw through soccer games---and what it looks like now: yoga in the middle of the day, no work email on her phone, focused work blocks, real rest, and actually enjoying her kids in the evening.If you've ever followed the "American Dream Playbook" and then woken up wondering... wait, is this actually what I want? You are going to feel so seen.We talk about:Why so many high-achieving women never stop to ask, "What do I actually want?"How hustle culture keeps your cortisol high and your life on holdThe myth that fulfillment and ambition can't coexistWhat it really takes to love your calendar instead of dreading itHow small, consistent tweaks can completely change your day-to-dayThe power of boundaries (including deleting work email from your phone

Real Madrid missed the chance to go five points clear as they fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at Osasuna, their first league loss under Alvaro Arbeloa in six games. We look at an encouraging display from Trent Alexander-Arnold off the bench, Vinicius Jr's continued scoring run, and whether the defending champions can respond after surrendering top spot. Barcelona took full advantage, returning to the top with a convincing 3-0 win over Levante. We discuss Frenkie de Jong's first goal in 13 months and what this means for the title race with just 13 games to go. Atletico Madrid bounced back from their recent poor run with a 4-2 win over Espanyol. Ademola Lookman continued his flying start with four goals in six games. We ask if this can be the springboard for a consistent run from Diego Simeone's side. Join The Players Lounge: The official fantasy football club of The Rest Is Football.

Send a textThis week's enterprise software announcements reflect a broad, coordinated push toward AI-native experiences layered across collaboration, operations, finance, and core business platforms. Salesforce's latest version of Slack, Oracle's role-based AI agents for Fusion Cloud, and SAP's extension of its business suite all signal that hyperscalers are embedding AI directly into day-to-day workflows rather than positioning it as a standalone add-on. In parallel, Sprinklr's new AI capabilities and Upstream Works' enhanced agent desktop extend this trend into customer experience and contact center operations, while Kantata's new AI platform targets the specialized needs of professional services firms. NetSuite's “Next” roadmap reinforces Oracle's mid-market modernization strategy, and ScienceLogic's reimagined applications highlight how observability and IT operations are also being reshaped by AI-first design principles. Rounding out the picture, Cleo's invoice payment and financing solution underscores growing pressure to modernize B2B financial operations, while Sage's acquisition of Criterion signals continued consolidation in the HCM space—together illustrating a market that is rapidly standardizing on AI-driven interaction layers even as vendors compete to redefine their category boundaries.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-5FOS9QamYQuestions for Panelists?

"The biggest one and the most impactful one is not making the time every week to work on the business. They get themselves into the rat race. They spend the money on these programs, and then they don't make the time to implement them. That's the biggest mistake that I see. Do the hard things 'cause we can all do hard things and it's okay if we screw up."–Teresa Slack In the final episode of this four-part series, co-founder of Financly Bookkeeping Solutions, Teresa Slack shares how her bookkeeping firm shifted from survival to stability by building the systems, pricing, and team structure needed to scale.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore a counterintuitive but empowering idea: what if not knowing something is not a weakness but an advantage? My guest this week is Alan Gregerman, innovation consultant and author of The Wisdom of Ignorance. He invites us to rethink impostor syndrome by viewing not knowing as the very thing that fuels creativity, innovative thinking and meaningful change.Alan argues that breakthroughs are far more likely when we approach problems with humility, curiosity and a willingness to see the world with new eyes. He encourages his clients to leave the office, explore the world and pay attention to what they see. Alan shares how changing environments expands our thinking, how teams can benefit from “enlightened ignorance” and why leaders who model humility unlock more creativity and engagement in others.About My GuestAlan Gregerman is an internationally renowned authority on business strategy, innovation, and the hidden potential of grownups who has been called “one of the most original thinkers in business today” and “the Robin Williams of business consulting.” As the president and chief innovation officer of Washington, D.C.-based consultancy VENTURE WORKS, a best-selling author, sought-after keynote speaker, and community volunteer he focuses on helping companies and organizations unlock the genius in all of their people in order to deliver the most compelling value to their customers. He is also the founder of Passion for Learning, an award-winning nonprofit that teaches girls technology skills as a key to life and career success.His work has been featured in over 250 leading publications and media outlets in the U.S. and in other countries including the Wall Street Journal, NPR, CNN, The Economic Times, Business Week, Dagens Industri, and Fast Company and his writing, speaking, and teaching has informed and hopefully inspired over 700,000 people.His three previous books—The Necessity of Strangers, Surrounded by Geniuses, and Lessons from the Sandbox—challenge conventional thinking about people, the world around us, what it means to be remarkable, and where brilliant ideas come from. His new book, “The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be the Key to Innovation in an Uncertain World,” provides a powerful formula for making a difference in a world moving super-fast.~Connect with Alan:Website: www.alangregerman.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-gregerman-a33b236/Email: innovate@venture-works.com ~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

Send a text“Finding your style” is the number one question we get asked, and the one we've asked ourselves for years. In this episode, we're diving into the real question behind it: what if it's not about finding a single aesthetic… but about uncovering your creative identity? We're celebrating the announcement of our new book, Follow Your Art, and sharing why we wrote it, what you'll find inside, and how the entire process changed the way we think about style, niching, and creative confidence. We talk about why committing to one aesthetic can feel like a cage, why effortless ideas are often your most authentic ones, and how your “secret sauce” is built from everything. We also unpack our take on “niching out, not down,” how to write an artist statement that actually feels like you, and how to market your work without feeling gross.All that and more when you listen to this episode:Why “How do I find my style?” might be the wrong questionThe difference between style and creative identity Why committing to one aesthetic feels terrifying (and limiting) The ice cream shop metaphor that reframes everythingHow to identify your creative “secret sauce” Why what feels effortless might actually be your magicThe role of childhood memories, relationships, and non-art influences in shaping your workWhat “niching out, not down” really meansWhat it was like to co-write a book over several yearsWhy creative work doesn't have to feel hard to be valuableAnd so much more! Mentioned in this episode:Follow Your Art (our new book!) https://goodtype.us/follow-your-art-book Free audiobook with pre-order https://goodtype.us/follow-your-art-book Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/239923273-follow-your-art Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube We wrote a book!

En este episodio, los fundadores de MarsBased Àlex, Xavi y Jordi, reflexionan sobre su trayectoria de doce años operando bajo un modelo de trabajo totalmente remoto. A lo largo de la charla, analizan cómo la percepción del remoto evoluciona según la etapa vital del trabajador, ofreciendo libertad geográfica a los treinta años y una flexibilidad clave para la conciliación familiar a los cuarenta. Explican con detalle la logística de lo que denominan "Hard Remote", que implica no tener oficina física y obliga a repartir el stock de la empresa, como sudaderas, tazas y contratos originales, entre los domicilios particulares de los socios.El equipo también aborda las verdades incómodas y los "hot takes" del teletrabajo, desde la molestia constante de recibir paquetes de Amazon durante las reuniones hasta el sentimiento de convertirse en el encargado de todas las gestiones domésticas por el mero hecho de estar en casa. Discuten el uso de herramientas avanzadas como Gemini para transcribir y resumir reuniones, permitiendo una gestión de personas más eficiente aunque con menos lenguaje no verbal que en el formato presencial. Finalmente, repasan los desafíos normativos de este año 2026, incluyendo las auditorías para la ISO 27001, la prevención de riesgos en el hogar y las complicaciones de cumplir con la ley de registro de jornada en entornos con horario flexible.Support the show

North London is red. Arsenal F.C. stormed the derby, overwhelming Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in a statement performance that reignites the title charge. The gap stretches back to five points, but with Manchester City F.C. still holding a game in hand, the pressure is far from over. City responded in kind, dispatching Newcastle at the Etihad. If Pep's side keep stacking wins, will the weight of expectation prove too much for the Gunners? And could it all come down to that blockbuster showdown at the Etihad in April? At the other end of the table, Spurs are dangerously close to the relegation zone after a limp derby display, with a new manager still searching for answers. Could Tottenham genuinely be dragged into a survival battle? And if the unthinkable happened, would it go down as the most shocking relegation in Premier League history?

Gute Messenger-Kommunikation beginnt mit Klarheit, nicht mit Begrüßungen. Wenn jede Nachricht genau ein Thema umfasst, entsteht Struktur, die Orientierung bietet statt Überforderung zu erzeugen. Threads dienen als Anker für Fokus inmitten des Informationsstroms, während bewusste Erwähnungen und Reaktionen mit Emojis das Miteinander entschlacken. Wer irrelevante Kanäle verlässt und Status sowie Profil pflegt, schützt eigene Energie – und respektiert die Zeit der anderen. Effizienz wird so zum Kulturfaktor. Du erfährst... ...wie positive Kommunikation die Firmenkultur transformiert. ...welche Best Practices Erik Pfannmoeller für gelungene Kommunikation empfiehlt. ...warum Ehrlichkeit und Transparenz in der Unternehmenskommunikation entscheidend sind. __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||

Dakota Collins was born the son of professional hippies - his mom worked in medicine, and dad in education - with construction on the side - and Dakota was raised largely free-range in the hills southwest of Fort Collins.  He was born with a club-foot, which required repeated casting to straighten, and which eventually caused him to develop scoliosis.  And then he discovered slacklining!  In a matter of months his spine was straight and his life transformed, and he soon travelled the nation and the world as a professional slackliner, motivational speaker, and adventurist!  He later co-founded Breathe - a mindful community featuring yoga, extreme slacklining, meditation and more - and met his now wife at a Breathe festival - where they spent the full week together, and then she immediately joined the man she'd just met on a 30-day backpacking trip in Alaska.  I write all this to share the notion that when Dakota Collins does stuff - he does it all the way!  Dakota founded Grey Rock Landscape and Construction in the fall of 2020, and hired his teenage sister to mow lawns, and built the business to 4 full-time employees before he quit his full-time job with Larimer County.  Now 5 years in and 18 employees strong, Grey Rock has become one of the premier landscape design and installation companies in Northern Colorado.  And it's all about culture.  It seems everyone loves Dakota, and you will too - so please tune in and enjoy my conversation with Dakota Collins.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

AgendaMark Zuckerberg faces jury in landmark trial over alleged youth harm linked to social mediaThe lawsuit, K.G.M. v. Meta Platforms, Inc., et al., was filed by a 20-year-old California woman identified by her initials. She alleges that Meta and other tech companies deliberately engineered their platforms to hook young users, contributing to her depression and suicidal thoughts, and seeks to hold them accountable.Regarding Instagram's enforcement efforts, plaintiffs asked whether Meta removed all 4 million under-13 users the company had identified on the platform in 2018. Zuckerberg responded that while the company did not remove all of them, it had implemented tools to detect and address underage accounts and was working to improve those systems.According to reports, Zuckerberg has not directly answered the central question of the case: whether Instagram is addictive. The plaintiff's attorney, Mark Lanier, asked if people tend to use something more if it's addictive. “I'm not sure what to say to that,” Zuckerberg said. “I don't think that applies here.”He said he believes in the “basic assumption” that “if something is valuable, people will use it more because it's useful to them.”When he was asked about his compensation, Zuckerberg said he has pledged to give “almost all” of his money to charity, focusing on scientific research. Lanier asked him how much money he has pledged to victims impacted by social media, to which Zuckerberg replied, “I disagree with the characterization of your question.”Zuckerberg's courthouse entourage showed up in Meta Ray-BansMeta Adding Facial Recognition to Its Smart Glasses That Identifies People in Real Time, Hoping the Public Is Too Distracted by Political Turmoil to Care MMApple sued by West Virginia for alleged failure to stop child sexual abuse material on iCloud, iOS devicesSpaceX said to weigh dual-class IPO shares to empower MuskMacron Blasts Social Media's Free Speech Defense as ‘Bullshit'The stupid (ESG edition)Goldman Sachs to Drop D.E.I. Criteria for Board Members MMThe move would be the Wall Street firm's latest retreat from diversity mandates that its chief executive, David Solomon, had once made a priority.The decision is a result of a deal that Goldman struck with the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit group that has been pressuring numerous companies to drop diversity, equity and inclusion mandates, the people said.As part of its agreement with Goldman, the National Legal and Policy Center, which has a small investment in the bank, withdrew a shareholder proposal demanding that diversity criteria for the board be dropped.In March 2019, Mr. Solomon, his top deputy John Waldron and the firm's chief financial officer at the time, Stephen M. Scherr, declared diversity and inclusion “a top priority.”“When we unite around a common goal, we make progress together,” the men wrote in an email to the staff. They said they would “improve each year” toward goals that included a new recruiting class comprising “50 percent women, 11 percent Black professionals and 14 percent Hispanic/Latino professionals in the Americas, and 9 percent Black professionals in the U.K.”The next year, Mr. Solomon said Goldman would no longer take a company public in the United States or Europe unless it had at least one “diverse” board member. By 2021, a company would need at least two diverse board members in order for Goldman to agree to work on its initial public offering.Inspire Investing CEO: Nike's DEI Is A Legal Liability, Shareholders Coming For AnswersNike's DEI fight is no longer just a social media "culture war" argument. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is investigating Nike over allegations the company's DEI practices discriminated against white employees and job applicants.Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire Investing: "Discrimination, whether it's black people or white people, gay people or straight people, is discrimination."Robert Netzly is a globally recognized authority in the Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) movement, author of the book "Biblically Responsible Investing: On Wall Street As It Is In Heaven." Robert holds a B.S. degree in Liberal Studies from an online university. This article was from OutKick, which aims to expose the destructive nature of "woke" activism and is the antidote to the mainstream sports media that often serves an elite, left-leaning minority instead of the American sports fan.

Coca-Cola Northeast privately invited female employees and then excused the female employees who attended the event from their normal work duties on Sept. 10 and 11, 2024, and paid them their normal salary or wages without requiring them to use vacation or other paid time off. Coca-Cola Northeast did not invite any male employees to the event.Trump revokes landmark ruling that greenhouse gases endanger public healthUS President Donald Trump has reversed a key Obama-era scientific ruling that underpins all federal actions on curbing planet-warming gases.The so-called 2009 "endangerment finding" concluded that a range of greenhouse gases were a threat to public health. It's become the legal bedrock of federal efforts to rein in emissions, especially in vehicles.Bill Maher Eviscerates Donald Trump Over ‘Biggest Dick Move in American History'The boring (ESG edition)Starbucks' investor group urges shareholders to replace directors over labor rowStarbucks faced fresh pressure on Wednesday from a coalition of investors including public-sector pension funds that urged shareholders ‌to vote against the reelection of two directors, citing persistent failure ‌to manage labor relations.The move against Starbucks' lead independent director, Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, and Beth ​Ford, chair of the board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, comes as the company is locked in a prolonged effort to reach a collective agreement with its unionized baristas.Companies are cycling through CEOs—and replacing them with first-timers MMSome 168 new CEOs were appointed in 2025, the highest total since 2010. The defining shift was who got the job. Among incoming CEOs, 84% were serving in their first enterprise CEO role, reversing a multi-year tilt toward leaders with prior public-company experience.As recently as 2024, more than one in five new CEOs had already led a public company. That share fell sharply in 2025. Of the 140 first-time CEOs appointed, 116 had no prior enterprise CEO experience. Two-thirds had never served on a public company board, meaning many are stepping into the role without prior exposure to shareholder oversight or public company governance.CEO hopefuls have a new rival for the top job: their own board directorsAppointing board directors as CEOs was once a “break glass in case of emergency” strategy reserved for scandal, illness, or sudden resignation. While it remains a minority path compared with traditional internal promotions, it is no longer an anomaly.New data from Spencer Stuart highlights the shift. Of the 168 new S&P 1500 chief executives appointed in 2025, the highest annual total since 2010, 19 were drawn from their own company boards, the most since 2020. Spencer Stuart classifies directors as outsiders because they lack day-to-day operating responsibility. Even so, more boards are turning to them.Wall Street banks are paying their CEOs like it's 2006 againMorgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick's pay rises 32% to $45mlnBank of America Lifts Moynihan's Pay 17% to $41 Million for 2025Barclays Ceo Pay Hike: Barclays lifts CEO Venkatakrishnan's pay to over £15 million as bonus pool risesCitigroup bumps CEO Jane Fraser's pay to record $59mBro Culture (The Epstein Edition)Thomas Pritzker, Named in Epstein Files, Retires as Hyatt Executive ChairmanTom Pritzker Retires as Executive Chairman of Hyatt After 22 Years of Service and Will Not Stand for Reelection to Board of DirectorsThe Board has appointed Mark S. Hoplamazian, Hyatt's President and Chief Executive Officer, to succeed Mr. Pritzker as Chairman of the Board“Tom's leadership has been instrumental in shaping Hyatt's strategy and long-term growth, and we thank him for his service and dedication to Hyatt,” said Richard Tuttle, Chair of the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. “The Board has engaged in thoughtful succession planning, and we are confident that Mark's deep knowledge of Hyatt's business, strong relationships with owners and colleagues, and proven track record as CEO of nearly two decades positions him well to serve as Chairman and continue driving Hyatt's long-term success.”In a letter to the Hyatt Hotels' Board of Directors, Tom Pritzker wrote, “My job and responsibility is to provide good stewardship. That is important to me. Good stewardship includes ensuring a proper transition at Hyatt. Following discussions with my fellow Board members, I have decided, after serving as Executive Chairman since 2004, and with the company in a strong position, that now is the right time for me to retire from Hyatt. Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which I deeply regret. I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner. I condemn the actions and the harm caused by Epstein and Maxwell, and I feel deep sorrow for the pain they inflicted on their victims.”Dubai's DP World replaces CEO after Epstein links emergeDubai's DP World announced Essa Kazim was the new chairman of its board of directors and Yuvraj Narayan was its new group chief executive officer, replacing Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem.Sulayem had been the CEO of Dubai's largest port operator since 2016 and chairman since 2007.DOJ records showed years of exchanges with Epstein, but Sulayem has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing.Casey Wasserman to sell talent agency following Jefferey Epstein controversyCasey Wasserman has confirmed that he has started the process of selling his talent agency after it was uncovered that he had ties with Jefferey Epstein. The announcement comes as artists began to leave the agency after it was uncovered that the Wasserman CEO had extensive ties with Jeffrey Epstein and had sent flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell. Despite denying that he had any personal or business ties with either, Wasserman sent an apology to the 4,000 employees who work at his sports marketing and talent agency, confirming that he would be stepping down from the company. He said: “I'm deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort […] It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about.”Former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner testifies in House Epstein investigationThe billionaire behind the retail empire that once blanketed shopping malls with names such as Victoria's Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch told members of Congress on Wednesday that he was “duped by a world-class con man” — close financial adviser Jeffrey Epstein. Les Wexner also denied knowing about the late sex offender's crimes or participating in Epstein's abuse of girls and young women.“I was naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man. And while I was conned, I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.”Wexner described himself to the lawmakers as a philanthropist, community builder and grandfather who always strove “to live my life in an ethical manner in line with my moral compass,” according to the statement.Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathy Ruemmler to resign over Epstein linksThe latest Justice Department release revealed a trove of communication between the two, including about potential jobs, her romantic life and gifts Epstein had given her.

Once they were standing, he made a "joke" to the effect of: "Thank you! Just so the ICE agents [in the building] know [who you are]."He reportedly made a follow-up "callback" later in the presentation, suggesting that ICE agents were also monitoring those who hadn't yet used a specific new Slackbot tool.And another joke about ICE surveilling employee travel: when there are literally employees afraid to travel for work due to current situationSalesforce famously promotes a culture of "Ohana" (family) and equality.Parker Harris (Cofounder): In a follow-up meeting, Harris reportedly called the jokes a "violation of the Code of Conduct" and even noted they could be considered a "fireable offense" for a typical employee.Rob Seaman (Slack GM): The head of the Salesforce-owned platform Slack sent a memo to staff stating he "cannot defend or explain" the jokes and that they did not align with his values.Salesforce employees call on CEO Benioff to cancel ICE ‘opportunities'Elon Musk says Anthropic's philosopher has no stake in the future because she doesn't have kidsPalantir, Which Is Powering ICE, Says Immigration Crackdown May Hurt Hiring MMFrom 10-K filed 2 days ago: “if we are not able to recruit, hire, or retain the talent we need because of increased regulation of immigration or work visas … it could be more difficult to staff our personnel on customer engagements and could increase our costs … Additionally, laws and regulations, such as restrictive immigration laws, may limit our ability to recruit outside of the United States ... If we fail to attract new personnel or to retain our current personnel, our business and operations could be harmed.”

How we “talk” to each other has changed dramatically since 1990 when Georgetown linguistics professor DEBORAH TANNEN brought gender differences in communication style to public awareness in her phenomenal best-seller, YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. Personal interactions now include email, texting, What's App, Slack, emojis, and AI. Over the years, Tannen has explored everyday conversation between men and women, parents and children, family members, at work, in argument, etc. We look back together at what she's learned over those 35 years, and you can learn more at deborahtannen.com

You probably know by now that AI is the definition of mediocre. As in: it's the average of everything it's been trained on. So how do you get beyond average? How do you build a moat? It certainly doesn't seem to be via the models. While there are models of the month (hey, Opus 4.6, my new friend!), they seem to be pretty swappable. So, the model ain't it. But proprietary data (e.g. an AI that knows you really well), yes! Or doing something really hard in the real world (think: Waymo self-driving cars). Maybe via trust and safety (Anthropic is certainly making a play here). Or... how about via amazing design and good taste. Remember when ChatGPT first came out and everyone derided “AI wrappers”… well, maybe a wrapper isn't so bad, assuming you can differentiate on one or more of the above. Luke Des Cotes is the CEO of MetaLab, the agency famous for designing interfaces, including early versions of Slack and Coinbase, so don't be shocked when you hear him say that great design can be your moat. MetaLab is working with a host of AI companies (another shocker), including Windsurf (AI + code), Suno (AI + music), Pika (AI + video), and more…, which is why Luke's take on AI surprised me. He's not rah rah. He's pretty judicious actually. Luke has questions about AI's costs and appropriateness for lots of use cases like those involving kids, but mostly he objects to its mediocrity.On this episode we discuss what it takes to go beyond.We also get into:Why vibe-coded software isn't changing the world anytime soonWhy Shopify acquired a design agency right after telling employees to justify their existence against AIHow MetaLab designers are using AI to prototype in hours instead of weeksThe talent market for zero-to-one designers — and why they're harder to find than everLandlines, brick phones, and how parents are fighting back against always-on kidsChapters(01:10) - "It's a race to the mean" (03:10) - "How do you create emotional resonance?"

In this episode host Carolyn Woodard is joined by Norwin Herrera, IT Business Manager and Team Lead at Community IT. Together, they walk through a real-world case study of a public charter school that implemented a Single Sign-On (SSO) platform called Clever that can solve cybersecurity and accessibility challenges for adult or child students.Strategic IT Leadership for NonprofitsUnlike a traditional account manager, an IT Business Manager (ITBM) acts as a strategic partner, helping nonprofit leadership understand the technology landscape and make informed decisions that align with their mission. The ITBM role is unique to Community IT and is an example of a commitment to partnering with clients over the long term.In this case, the goal was to find a SSO solution that could handle a complex mix of Chromebooks and Windows devices while remaining user-friendly for both adult students and faculty.The Power of Single Sign-OnSSO acts as one door for all of your doors. By using Clever as an identity manager, the organization was able to:Enhance Cybersecurity: Centralizing access allows for immediate offboarding. If a student or staff member leaves, closing one account automatically secures access to all others, prevents fraud, and saves money.Automate User Provisioning: Through zero intervention integration with the Student Information System (SIS), accounts are created or deactivated automatically based on enrollment status.Improve User Experience: Students no longer need to remember multiple different passwords for Google, Microsoft, Zoom, and Slack for example. One password provides access to all the apps they have access to as a student using a school device.Reduce Administrative Costs: Norwin breaks down the ROI of SSO, comparing a small per-user fee against the hundreds of hours of manual labor required to manage accounts individually.Change Management and Successful ImplementationA successful IT project is about more than just software; it is about people. Norwin explains why this project resulted in zero tickets and no complaints: it started with leadership buy-in and a commitment to clear communication.Whether you are an executive at a school or a volunteer board member at a community nonprofit, this episode offers practical insights into how integrated cybersecurity and strategic IT planning can save your organization time and money.Listen in to learn how your organization can move toward a more secure and efficient digital future by subscribing to the Community IT Innovators Technology Topics podcast. _______________________________Start a conversation :) Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/ email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.com on LinkedIn Thanks for listening.

Arsenal made unwanted history this weekend, becoming the first side in Premier League history to surrender a two-goal lead against a team starting the day in the relegation zone. Wolves fought back from 2–0 down to claim a crucial point, a result that has thrown the title race wide open. With Manchester City now just five points behind, with a game in hand, the question has to be asked: do Arsenal have the experience and resilience required to go all the way? Elsewhere in Europe, there were deeply troubling scenes during Benfica's match involving Vinícius Júnior and Gianluca Prestianni. After scoring a superb goal, Vinícius Júnior was subjected to alleged racial abuse. The incident has once again raised urgent questions about racism in football and why meaningful progress remains so slow. Gary, Alan and Micah reflect on why this continues to happen in the modern game and also discuss the reaction after the match, including disappointing comments from José Mourinho that have sparked further debate.

After more than a decade away from the Big Game, WK Kellogg Co's Raisin Bran made a historic—and hilarious—return for Super Bowl LX. Cassie is joined by JP Severin, Brand Manager at WK Kellogg Co, to pull back the curtain on the "Will Shat" campaign. Starring the legendary William Shatner, the campaign tackled America's "fiber gap" by blending sci-fi nostalgia with irreverent bathroom humor. JP breaks down the decision to forgo a traditional national linear buy in favor of a tactical, streaming-first approach on Peacock and NFL+, and explains how the brand used "staged" paparazzi stunts to build organic hype weeks before kickoff. Key Takeaways:// Why Raisin Bran chose the Super Bowl's massive scale to address the fact that 95% of Americans are fiber-deficient—turning a "boring" health stat into a high-stakes marketing mission.// How humor, wordplay, and a 94-year-old icon were used to destigmatize gut health and make fiber an accessible, talkable topic for a broad audience.// The data-driven "why" behind prioritizing Peacock, NBC Sports, and NFL+ over a traditional national TV spot to reach a younger, digitally-native demographic.// A look at the VaynerMedia-led "pap walks" that put William Shatner in the news cycle weeks before the ad aired, proving that the Super Bowl is now an "ecosystem of screens."// How a massive company like WK Kellogg Co remains agile enough to execute social-first stunts that feel authentic and timely.// JP's advice for Millennial and Gen Z marketers on the one "non-textbook" skill required to manage iconic household names in 2026.Connect with JP: LinkedInWatch the Campaign: YouTube____Join the MHH Collective!

If you dread opening Slack on Monday mornings, if you can't take time off without chaos, if you're working all day only to finish admin tasks at night, your business doesn't fit your life anymore.

When Dennis Bergkamp arrived at Arsenal in 1995, he didn't just improve the team, he transformed it. Calm, cerebral and impossibly gifted, Bergkamp became the creative heartbeat of a club on the brink of greatness. From his incredible composure in front of goal to his gravity-defying touch and visionary passing, he redefined what artistry looked like in English football. Gary, Alan & Micah discuss his unforgettable goal against Newcastle, his brilliant hat-trick vs Leicester, and his pivotal role under Arsène Wenger in building the Double-winning sides and the legendary Invincibles of 2003–04.

Before his first cup of coffee, Alex Melamud opens Slack—not to scan revenue charts first, but to read customer feedback. “The first one that may surprise you as a CFO that I look at is actually NPS,” he tells us. At Engine, every survey drops into a shared channel so “every executive can see” what customers said, he tells us.That habit fits a finance leader who didn't grow up in the CFO seat. Melamud started in investment banking and then spent 16 years in private equity, learning to build theses, chase signal, and “sell… the product of private equity,” he tells us. Sitting on boards, he watched the CFO role evolve from “corporate governance accounting” into “executive first and maybe CFO second,” he tells us—someone who can talk like product, sales, or operations and earn board trust.Engine became the moment he stepped inside. After leading the company's round “18 months ago,” joining the board, and helping with a CFO search, he looked at founder “Eli” and asked, “what if I joined you as CFO?” he tells us. The draw was a focused mission: serving SMB travel, where customers book “like a consumer” and lose corporate rates and visibility, he tells us.Now his investor lens shows up in the unglamorous work. During annual planning, he dug into the “top 50 costs” outside headcount and pushed leaders to treat each contract “as a brand new relationship,” he tells us—an inspection that produced “10, 15%” savings and “tens of millions of dollars,” he tells us.

This episode is recorded live, and is best enjoyed on YouTube. Watch the episode here.   While Bob is visiting San Francisco for two weeks, he is sitting down for conversations with legal tech innovators and entrepreneurs "in their natural habitats" – places in the Bay Area they consider special. Today, in the first in this series, Bob sits down for lunch with Alex Su, chief revenue officer at Latitude Legal, over Thai iced tea and tofu dishes at Phnom Penh House, a Cambodian restaurant in Alameda that Alex considers something of a personal institution, frequenting it for both family meals and business meetings.   Alex's career path is anything but linear. He started as an associate at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York, clerked for a federal judge in Chicago, then drifted through a plaintiff's firm, a brief solo practice, and ultimately a leap of faith into legal tech sales – joining e-discovery company Logikcull in 2016. From there, he moved to Everlaw, then to Ironclad, where he served as head of community development, building a reputation that spread well beyond any job title.   That reputation was shaped in large part by TikTok, where Alex's comedic, self-effacing videos skewering law firm culture – partners, associates, privilege logs and the absurdities of BigLaw – earned him more than 100,000 followers, got shared inside Ironclad's internal Slack, and ultimately helped land him his next job. It's a story of accidental virality and deliberate reinvention that mirrors the broader shifts he sees in the legal profession.   Now at Latitude Legal, an ALSP providing on-demand legal talent to law firms and corporate legal departments, Alex represents a kind of poetic symmetry: a lawyer known for championing "alternative careers" working at an "alternative legal services provider" — a label he thinks has outlived its usefulness, given how mainstream flexible legal talent has become.   Bob and Alex also dig into the current state of legal AI – what's overhyped, what's underhyped, and why the pandemic was arguably a bigger inflection point for legal tech adoption than generative AI. Plus, Alex and Bob reflect on Bob's three decades of covering legal innovation, the stubborn persistence of the billable hour, and why the justice gap remains stubbornly wide despite all the talk of disruption.   It is a wide-ranging and candid conversation – one you may want to watch on video instead of just listening to the audio.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

#338: Every company adding AI coding tools runs into the same wall. Developers produce more code, but features don't ship any faster. The bottleneck just slides downstream -- to QA, to security, to legal, to whoever comes next in the pipeline. And the team that got faster? They don't even realize the people upstream could be feeding them more work. Viktor's take: the fastest possible setup is one person carrying a feature from idea to production. Not one person doing everything alone -- a system designed so nobody waits. Tests run in CI. Deployments happen through Argo CD. Security scanning is automated. There's a real difference between wiring up a light switch and hiring a butler to flip it for you. None of this is new. The same thing happened with punch cards, client-server, cloud, Kubernetes. One group adopts the new thing, everyone else says it doesn't apply to them, and the market eventually forces their hand. Meanwhile, every team in every company says they'd love to change if only the rest of the organization would get on board. Every team says this.

Everything in the AI space is progressing faster than any of us anticipated, and I want to show you exactly how I'm capitalizing on it. Right now, I have 14 AI agents working for me around the clock—not just chatting, but actively building a telehealth company, writing code, and managing marketing projects. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on OpenClaw, a tool that goes far beyond standard chatbots by possessing unlimited memory and the ability to take control of a computer to execute complex, long-form tasks just like a human employee. I will walk you through my exact technical setup, explaining why I run these agents on dedicated hardware like a used M1 Mac Mini rather than my main computer to ensure total security. You'll learn how I manage this digital workforce through Slack, the specific workflows I use to keep my data safe, and the real-world results I'm seeing, including the creation of a HIPAA-compliant platform. I also discuss alternative tools like Lovable.dev and Manus.im for those looking to dip their toes into agent-based workflows. This technology allows you to scale your output as if you had a 50-person team without the massive overhead. If you are ready to understand how autonomous agents can revolutionize your business operations and want a practical blueprint for getting started, you cannot afford to miss this breakdown. Check the show notes for a link to the waitlist for my upcoming beta program where I help you launch your own secure virtual employee.

Trent Alexander-Arnold starred for Real Madrid as he made his return from injury in the 4-1 win over Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu, a win that saw them go top of La Liga at least temporarily. Gary and Alex look at whether he is finally finding his feet in Madrid, the praise he's getting from Alvaro Arbeloa and what that could mean for his chances of making the world cup squad. Atletico Madrid continue to put their fans through it as they followed up a stunning 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey by meekly surrendering to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday in a 3-0 defeat. Diego Simeone and Jan Oblak were at loggerheads after the game, so we check in on Atleti and look at why their season is so continually up and down.

Send a textThis week's enterprise software developments underscore a widening gap between rapid AI-driven platform innovation and the unresolved execution risks embedded in large-scale ERP programs. On one side of the ledger, Mendix and OutSystems both advanced their agentic AI roadmaps with new releases aimed at operationalizing autonomous workflows, while ServiceNow's unveiling of its AI Experience, Sprinklr's new AI capabilities, and Braze's product enhancements at Forge 2025 reinforce how aggressively vendors across ITSM, CX, and marketing automation are repositioning around AI-first interaction layers. Salesforce's latest Slack updates and Upstream Works' enhanced agent desktop further extend this trend into collaboration and contact center operations, signaling that AI augmentation is now table stakes across front-office and service environments. In parallel, Plex's expanded connected worker integrations highlight how these same concepts are being pushed into manufacturing execution and workforce enablement, while Cleo's invoice payment and financing solution reflects growing pressure to modernize B2B financial operations. Yet this innovation narrative is tempered by Daedong USA's loss of an injunction in its ERP dispute—placing its $11.4 billion suit in jeopardy—which serves as a reminder that beneath the AI acceleration, legacy implementation failures, legal exposure, and governance breakdowns continue to create material risk for enterprises betting on large transformation programs.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Arr9GjwOBsQuestions for Panelists?

"You can have all the great checklists and all the great systems for quality bookkeeping and you can hire all the right people, but if you don't know how to price your services, you are going to fail.
