Send us a textIn this episode of the Family Office Podcast, recorded live at the Beverly Hills Investor Club Summit, top investors and family office executives share how they manage teams, build relationships, and make deals in an increasingly virtual world.From Zoom and Slack to international team structures, you'll hear how they're balancing efficiency with the human connection that drives real business. The panel also closes with a look at some of the most fun and innovative investments they've made — from AI-driven platforms to eco-luxury yachts and waste-to-energy ventures.

Cal Newport unpacks his framework for Slow Productivity, built on three core principles: doing fewer things, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality. He introduces "pseudo productivity"—the toxic heuristic that emerged in mid-20th century knowledge work when visible activity became a proxy for useful effort because traditional productivity metrics (Model Ts per hour, bushels per acre) no longer applied. Newport argues that pseudo productivity was tolerable until the digital office revolution—email, Slack, mobile computing—enabled visible activity to be demonstrated at incredibly high frequency, anywhere, anytime, creating a performance theater that drains actual productive capacity. The conversation explores how to build custom AI systems for daily planning (using GPT models trained on transcripts and book notes), the three levels of working with large language models (training from scratch, fine-tuning, and software intermediaries), and why specialized vertical AI will dominate the next wave of innovation. Newport makes the case for abandoning industrial-era proxies and reclaiming knowledge work as a craft that requires depth, patience, and quality over constant performative busyness. Hosted on Acast.

Did Trent Alexander-Arnold's spot on the bench inspire Conor Bradley to produce another Man of the Match display against Real Madrid? The lads debate whether today's tactics and athletes are squeezing out the mavericks that used to light up the game and, more importantly, whether we might see Alan Shearer on The Traitors next year. Gary, Alan and Micah also break down Dan Burn and Micky van de Ven's brilliant goals, and ask the big question: just how many would Erling Haaland bag against Barcelona's famous high line?

The end of October was punctuated with a series of major cloud outages, first at AWS and then at Microsoft, bringing a wide range of websites and business applications offline.In the previous episode, we spoke about this in a reactive sense – the immediate customers impacted and the likely causes.But it's also important to break the problem down at a strategic and technical level. Just how do outages at this scale occur – and what's it like as an insider, fighting to bring services back online?In this episode Rory speaks to James Kretchmar, SVP & CTO of the cloud technology division at Akamai Technologies, to get an insider's perspective on cloud outages and how businesses can navigate these incidents.Read more:Amazon Web Services outage live: Hundreds of apps including Slack, mobile carriers, banking services downThe AWS outage brought much of the web to its knees: Here's how it happened, who it affected, and how much it might costThe Microsoft Azure outage explained: What happened, who was impacted, and what can we learn from it?Australia internet banking outage blamed on DDoS mitigation serviceWhy the CrowdStrike outage was a wakeup call for developer teams

Zack Kanter is the founder and CEO of Stedi, an API-first healthcare clearinghouse. After bootstrapping a wildly profitable auto-parts business, he sold it to tackle "the most complicated problem" he'd ever encountered: business-to-business transaction exchange. He spent years building EDI infrastructure, threw away the entire codebase eight times, and found extraordinary traction in healthcare. Stedi recently raised a $70M Series B co-led by Stripe and Addition. In this conversation, Brett and Zack discuss why venture capital means "going pro," why execution is never actually a moat, and how "eating glass" became Stedi's competitive advantage. In today's episode, we discuss: How 16-year-old Zack turned $2,500 into a wholesale empire Why bootstrapping means being "constrained by capital" and how VC removes that ceiling Why Zack rebuilt their EDI product eight times before launch The snake swallowing a deer: what extreme product-market fit really looks like What software companies can learn from discount retail and Toyota Why Stedi's new hires are told "everything's your fault now" And much more Where to find Zack: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zkanter Twitter/X: https://x.com/zackkanter Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast References: Aetna: https://www.aetna.com/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/ Blue Cross Blue Shield: https://www.bcbs.com/ Change Healthcare: https://www.changehealthcare.com/ Cigna: https://www.cigna.com/ Clay: https://www.clay.com/ Costco: https://www.costco.com/ Ford Motor Company: https://www.ford.com/ GM: https://www.gm.com/ HIPAA overview (HHS): https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html Jeff Bezos: https://x.com/JeffBezos Kanban / TPS (Toyota): https://global.toyota/en/company/vision-and-philosophy/production-system Microsoft Teams: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams NetSuite: https://www.netsuite.com/ O'Reilly Auto Parts: https://www.oreillyauto.com/ Peter Thiel: https://x.com/peterthiel Porter's five forces: https://www.isc.hbs.edu/strategy/pages/the-five-forces.aspx "Reality has a surprising amount of detail": https://johnsalvatier.org/blog/2017/reality-has-a-surprising-amount-of-detail Slack: https://slack.com/ Stedi: https://www.stedi.com/ Summit Racing: https://www.summitracing.com/ Target: https://www.target.com/ Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ Zapier: https://zapier.com/ Timestamps: (01:24) Zack's first business (08:54) Why the first customer is tricky (10:12) The downside of bootstrapping (11:42) Why venture capital is like “going pro” (14:20) The confusion between ownership vs. control (16:08) Building a company you don't want to leave (20:46) Do things better than other people (24:49) Stedi's early years (31:43) Physical vs. digital product-market fit (34:41) How Stedi scaled decision-making (40:08) Stedi's journey to product-market fit (45:22) Finding founder-approach fit (50:42) “All software is a cascade of miracles” (52:52) The surprising lessons from discount retail (57:50) How the Toyota production system influences software (1:01:31) What it means to be a high-agency person (1:03:09) The core trait Zack looks for when hiring (1:02:57) Maintaining conviction in unconventional practice (1:14:19) When should you start to hire managers?

Fine is a 4-Letter Word is all about those moments when “fine” is just the mask we wear before life gives us a loud wake-up call.For Massimo Backus, that wake-up call came wrapped in a leadership 360 evaluation that painted a picture he didn't recognize. The team he thought he was inspiring and supporting saw someone defensive, unsafe to approach, even a bully. Gut punch, right?Raised by creative, supportive parents who met in a woodworking class over a three-legged chair, Massimo learned the values of creativity, acceptance, and generosity that would later guide his unconventional career path. He also carried the invisible weight of childhood dyslexia and a lifelong habit of needing to prove himself. That pattern followed him into adulthood and eventually showed up in how he led others. His relentless pursuit of purpose-driven work eventually led him to a prestigious position as global head of leadership development for a large international consulting firm, where he thought he had finally “made it.” However, that 360-degree feedback assessment came as an unexpected wake-up call.Massimo first tried to “fix” himself on his own. It wasn't until he surrendered control and attended the Hoffman Process, a weeklong retreat, that he uncovered the real saboteur: his own inner critic.Through self-compassion, Massimo finally found the power to stop performing and start being. Listen as we unpack his journey from overactive inner critic to radical freedom.Massimo's hype song is Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Sound SystemResources:InKind Leaders Website: https://www.inkindleaders.com/Massimo's Personal Website: https://massimobackus.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/massimo-backus/Claim your copy of: “Human First, Leader Second” bookInvitation from Lori: This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you've got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to strengthen culture, create connection, and foster community.That's where I come in. Forward thinking companies are hiring me to produce internal podcasts. To bring leadership and employees together through authentic stories, real conversations, and meaningful connections. Think of it as your old-school printed company newsletter - reinvented for the modern workforce. I KNOW, what a cool idea, right?! If you run, work for, or know of a company that wants to upgrade communication, facilitate connections, build community, and maintain culture, let's chat. Message me at Lori@ZenRabbit dot com. Because when people feel heard, they engage. When they engage, they perform. And when they perform, the business succeeds beyond projections.

In this episode of Run the Numbers, CJ Gustafson sits down with Sam Jacobs, Founder and CEO of Pavilion, the global community for GTM leaders. Sam shares how getting fired multiple times as a CRO led him to build a business rooted in belonging — one that monetized members first, prioritized intimacy over growth, and turned a Slack group into a multimillion-dollar company. He and CJ unpack the mechanics of community: the tradeoffs between exclusivity and expansion, why venture capital doesn't always fit human-centered businesses, and how Pavilion balances pricing, curation, and access. They also explore the evolution of the GTM function — from the myth of the plug-and-play VP of Sales to how AI is reshaping RevOps, forecasting, and leadership. Finally, Sam reflects on building durable value beyond personal brand and what it really takes to scale trust as a product.—LINKS:Sam Jacobs on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samfjacobs/Company: https://www.joinpavilion.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.com—RELATED EPISODES:E120: What does the future of tech look like when it costs $0 to switch software?https://www.youtube.com/live/Cpw2pkq-FXI?si=-0y0tcLTIlIbkmyOCFOs: Want to Outmaneuver Your Competitors?

In this episode, Sebastian Niles, President and Chief Legal Officer at Salesforce, takes a deep dive into the intersection of corporate strategy, in-house legal careers, and the transformative power of Agentic AI. Sebastian shares his unique career path from a near two-decade tenure at a prestigious law firm before joining Salesforce. This conversation is essential for anyone interested in the evolving role of the Chief Legal Officer and the practical application of cutting-edge technology in legal operations. Things We Talk About in this Episode The In-House Career Journey: Sebastian's path highlights an early interest in the law and business connection and the role of the lawyer as a trusted advisor looking at the full lifecycle of a client's needs. Advice for Aspiring In-House Counsel: The importance of self-awareness, understanding your "why," and approaching your work with dedication and authenticity. Salesforce Legal as Customer Zero: How the Salesforce legal department uses the company's own technology, including building their outside counsel management platform on Salesforce and using internal AI agents in Slack channels for sales self-service. Understanding Agentic AI & Agentforce: An explanation of AI agents—systems that can reason and take actions on behalf of human direction—and Salesforce's focus on trusted agentics through the Agentforce Command Center. The Power of AI Guardrails: Sebastian explains that trust is an accelerant for innovation, not an obstacle. Guardrails define what an AI agent shouldn't do, ensuring responsible and ethical deployment, particularly around data access and defined roles. Legal Departments as an Accelerant, Not a Blocker: The vision for the optimized global legal department is one that is deeply embedded in product design, mitigating risk, and serving as a super connector across the entire organization. Regulation and Responsible Innovation in Artificial Intelligence: A discussion on the fast pace of tech innovation versus the speed of regulation, and why major tech companies must uphold high standards and embrace risk-based, interoperable approaches to drive responsible AI adoption.

#323: Vibe coding - the practice of giving AI a high-level description and letting it build applications unsupervised - has become increasingly popular among non-developers looking to quickly prototype ideas. While this approach excels at rapid prototyping and getting small, focused applications running, it creates significant security risks when deployed to production without proper oversight. The fundamental issue isn't with AI capabilities, but with treating any tool - whether AI or human - as capable of understanding company context, security requirements, and production standards on day one. The real value emerges when vibe coding serves as a bridge between business requirements and technical implementation. Rather than replacing traditional development workflows, it can accelerate the initial phases by providing working prototypes that stakeholders can interact with before formal development begins. However, moving from prototype to production requires the same rigorous processes that any new technology integration demands: security scanning, code review, compliance with company policies, and proper authentication handling. In this episode, Darin and Viktor explore the security implications of unsupervised AI development, discussing when vibe coding makes sense, where it falls short, and how organizations might eventually integrate AI-assisted development into their existing workflows while maintaining security and operational standards.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. **Christopher S. Penn – 00:00** In this week’s In Ear Insights, Trust Insights is a consulting firm. We obviously do consulting. We have clients, we have accounts, and therefore account management. Katie, you and I worked for a few years together at a PR firm before we started Trust Insights and managed a team of folks. I should clarify with an asterisk: you managed a team of people then to keep those accounts running, keep customers and clients happy, and try to keep team members happy. Let’s talk about what are the basics of good account management—not just for keeping clients happy, but also keeping your team happy as well, to the extent that you can, but keeping stuff on the rails. **Katie Robbert – 00:51** The biggest thing from my experience, because I’ve been on both sides of it—well, I should say there are three sides of it. There’s the account manager, there’s the person who manages the account manager, and then there’s the account itself, the client. I’ve been on all three sides of it, and I currently sit on the side of managing the account manager who manages the accounts. If we talk about the account manager, that person is trying to keep things on the rails. They’re trying to keep things moving forward. Typically they are the ones who, if they choose, they can have the most power, or if they don’t, they have the least power. **Katie Robbert – 01:38** By that I mean, a good account manager has their hands in everything, is listening to every conversation between the stakeholders or the principals and the client, is really ingesting the information and understanding, “Okay, this is what was asked for. This is what we’re working on. This is discussed.” Whatever it is they don’t understand, they take the initiative to find out what it means. If you’re working on a more technical client and you’re talking about GDELT and code bases and databases and whatever, and you’re like, “I’m just here to set up meetings,” then you’re not doing yourself any sort of favors. **Katie Robbert – 02:21** The expectation of the account manager is that they would say, “All right, I don’t understand everything that was discussed, but let me take the notes, do a little research, and at least get the basics of what’s happening so that I, as the person acting on behalf of the consulting agency, can then have conversations without having to loop in the principal every single time, and the principal can focus on doing the work.” The biggest success metric that I look for in an account manager is their ability to be proactive. One of the things that, as someone who manages and has managed larger teams, is someone just waiting around to be told what to do. That puts the burden back on the manager to constantly be giving you a to-do list. **Katie Robbert – 03:13** At the level of a manager, an account manager, you should be able to proactively come up with your own list. Those are just some of the things off the top of my mind, off the top of my head, Chris. But you also have to be fair. You managed the team at the agency alongside with me, but you were also part of the team that was executing the work. And you rely heavily on account managers to tell you what the heck is happening. So what do you look for in account manager skills? **Christopher S. Penn – 03:49** It goes back to something that our friend Mitch Joel often says, which is, “Don’t be another thing on the client’s to-do list,” because nobody wants that. Nobody wants more on their to-do list. Ideally, a good account manager is constantly fishing with the client to say, “What else can we take off your to-do list?” **Katie Robbert – 04:09** Right. **Christopher S. Penn – 04:09** How can we make your list shorter rather than longer? That determines—no, there’s that and one other thing, but that’s one of the key things that determines client success—is to say, “Look, here’s what we got done.” Because the more you go fishing and the more stuff that you take away from the client, the happier they are. But also, when it comes time for renewal, the more you can trot out the list and look at all the things we’re doing, look at all the things that we did—maybe that were just slightly out of scope, but within our capabilities—that we improved your life, we improved things, we got done everything we said we were going to get done. **Christopher S. Penn – 04:47** And maybe we demonstrated capabilities so that when renewal time comes, you can say, “Hey, maybe we should increase the retainer because we demonstrated some proof of concept success in these other areas that we also know are really challenging.” Management consultant David Meister talks about this a lot in terms of growing retainers. He says, “I will show up at my own expense to your annual planning meeting. I will sit in the back and I will not speak until spoken to, but I am there as a resource for you to ask me questions as an expert.” And he said 10 times out of 10, he walked away with a bigger retainer just by sitting, listening to your point, knowing what’s going on with the client, and also going fishing. **Christopher S. Penn – 05:33** The other thing—and this is both an account management thing and a sales thing—is, and this is something that I suck at, which is why I don’t work in account management, is very timely responses. Somebody—the client—lobs a tennis ball over the net and you immediately return. Even if you have nothing to say, you can just say, “Hey, got it. We’re here. We’re paying attention to your needs. We are responsive.” And those two things, being able to go fishing and being highly responsive, to me, are success indicators for a good account manager. **Katie Robbert – 06:12** I definitely agree with the highly responsive. One of my expectations for any of the teams, whether it’s now or at the agency, was if a client sends an email, just acknowledge it. Because there is nothing worse than the anxiety of, “Do I follow up? Do I set?” We deal with that sort of on the sales side—people will ghost us all the time. That’s just part of sales. And it’s a fine line of follow-up versus stalking. We want to be proactively following up, but we also don’t want to be harassing and stalking people because that then, to your first point, goes to you being one more thing on their list to follow up with. **Katie Robbert – 06:57** Let’s say a client sends over a list of questions and we don’t have time to get to it. One of the things that we used to do with the agency was, “Okay, let’s acknowledge it and then give a time frame.” We saw your email. We’ll get back to you within the next three business days just to set some kind of an expectation. Then, obviously, we would have a conversation with whoever’s responsible for doing the work first: “Is that a reasonable timeline?” But all of that was done by the account manager. All of that was coordinated by them. And that’s such an important role. One of the things that people get wrong about a role like an account manager or a project manager is that they’re just admins, and they’re really not. **Katie Robbert – 07:41** They’re really the person who keeps it all together. To keep going with that example, so the client says, “I have a bunch of things.” The account manager should be the first person to see that and acknowledge it. “We got it, we will respond to you.” And then whoever is on our side responsible for answering: “Okay, Chris, we have this list of questions. You said it could be done within 3 days. Let me go ahead and proactively block time for you and make sure that you can get that done so that I can then take that information and get back to the client, hopefully before the timeline is up, so that it’s—keep them really happy.” What is it? Under promise, over deliver? **Katie Robbert – 08:27** I was about to say the reverse, and that would have been terrible. It’s really, from my perspective, just always staying on top of things. I have a question because this is something I feel, especially in a smaller company, we struggle with in terms of role expectations. Do you expect an account manager to know as much about what’s happening as you, the expert and individual contributor, do? **Christopher S. Penn – 09:00** Here’s how I would frame that. We’ll use blenders. **Katie Robbert – 09:05** Sure. We love blenders. **Christopher S. Penn – 09:07** We love blenders. I would not expect in a kitchen, a sous chef to understand how electromagnets work and microcards and circuits that make the blender operate. I don’t expect them to know the internals of a blender. I do expect to know what goes in a blender, what should not go in a blender, and what it should look like when it comes out. So if you said, “I want a margarita,” and you get a cup full of barely crushed ice, you’re like, “That’s not a frozen margarita. That came out of the blender wrong.” So even if they don’t understand the operation, the blender is just a black box. They know ice cubes and lime juice and stuff go in and a smooth, slushy comes out. They should be able to look at that slush when it comes out and go, “No, try again.” **Christopher S. Penn – 09:52** No, try again. So they should be able to say to the subject matter expert, “That’s not what the client asked for.” It requires some level of technical knowledge, but more than anything, it requires an understanding of what the deliverables are and whether those deliverables match the client expectations. Because if the client says, “I want a margarita,” and you give them tomato soup—yes, technically it is the same consistency—but it’s the wrong output. **Katie Robbert – 10:20** I don’t see how you got to the technically part, but. That’s my own. **Christopher S. Penn – 10:26** Yeah. You get the idea, though. So, does the account manager need to know the inner workings of, say, Claude coding sub agents? Absolutely not. Does the account manager need to know, “Hey, the client asked for this analysis and we gave them this one instead. And they’re not the same thing.” Send it back to the kitchen. This can’t go to—it’s just a restaurant. When it comes up to the line, the server looks at the dish, goes, “The client asked for medium rare. This is well done. I can’t bring this out.” **Katie Robbert – 10:59** Right. I agree with that. We should be able to look to the account manager to gut check things. If we are delivering a monthly report or whatever, the account manager should be able to look at it and say, “Yes. Logically this makes sense based on what the client asked for. This answers their questions.” And quite honestly, if the contract was written in such a way that the account manager isn’t sure what’s happening, that’s also perhaps the responsibility of the account manager to clarify both with the principals and the client. Let’s be really specific about what questions we’re answering so that we can answer them. **Christopher S. Penn – 11:51** The server and the kitchen really is the perfect analogy. If you sit down and the diner comes in and you say, “What do you want?” and they say, “I want a steak,” and you just go to the kitchen, say, “Hey, table three wants a steak,” you didn’t do your job about getting requirements: How do you want it done, what sides you want with it, et cetera. And then when it comes up to the line and you say, “Client said really rare. This is well done. I can’t bring this out.” If the server just brings it out as is, then the client’s unhappy, the server’s unhappy because they aren’t getting a tip, and everybody’s unhappy. **Christopher S. Penn – 12:25** In addition to your point earlier, the server has responsibility to say, “Yeah, hey, the kitchen said it’s going to be another 10 minutes. Sorry, here’s an appetizer or whatever.” They have that customer relationship management piece. **Katie Robbert – 12:42** That touches upon something that’s really critical as well, is the communication. If we continue with this analogy, let’s say the account manager is the server and the client, the customer, hasn’t ordered yet. If I have a server coming by my table saying, “Just checking in,” and then walking away, and then saying, “Just checking in,” and then walking away, I’m going to get really annoyed. But if they come by and say, “Hey, I just wanted to check in to see if you guys were ready to place your order. Here’s what we have on special today. I know that you’ve been with us before. Here’s what you ordered last time.” To give more context than just the quick— **Katie Robbert – 13:28** “Just checking in”—gives the client, back to where you’re saying what Mitch Joel says: “Don’t be one more thing on their to-do list.” Let them know why you’re checking in. Give them more context, make the answer easy for them. “Oh, last time we talked, these were the things we talked about. When I’m checking in, this is exactly what I’m checking in on. And here’s all the information I have. Is this the answer that you’re likely to give us if you respond to this email within a few minutes?” Again, it goes back to that proactive piece. **Katie Robbert – 14:06** One of the things that occurs to me, and it’s almost silly that we have to talk about it in this context, but account management in the age of AI—the expectations of clients when AI is involved are completely different. Regardless of the fact that it’s still likely humans who are interacting with you and doing client services, it’s likely a team of humans with some automations doing the work. What kind of expectations do you think clients have now that AI is involved? **Christopher S. Penn – 14:44** The clients expect everything instantly and 80% cheaper. **Katie Robbert – 14:49** That’s a tough expectation to live up to, but it goes back to if you have someone on your team who is proactively advocating for what’s going on, that expectation of immediacy, “Okay, that’s met.” In terms of the cheaper, I don’t think the account manager really has control over that, but they can be listening for, “You said that you want to disrupt everything with AI, but you also said that your team is struggling to adopt everything. So let me go ahead and bring that back to the team and see what that actually means,” because I heard you say those two specific things. **Christopher S. Penn – 15:31** You are correct in that the account manager does not directly have control over the contract terms and things. However, just like a good server at a restaurant: A. A good server upsells (“Hey, you want some dessert?”). B. A good server communicates the value of the work being done, regardless of whether it’s the Instacook 5000 in the kitchen or whether it’s a human chef. To them, you’ll say, “This is exactly what you ordered. This is the medium rare with the onions on top and the garlic on the side and whatever.” In the age of AI, the account manager has to be more dialed in than ever to be able to say, “Yes, this is what the machines are doing,” but you also have to communicate the value of— **Christopher S. Penn – 16:19** Here’s who is orchestrating the machines to make sure that you get what you ordered. If you go to a restaurant and the food is instant and it’s high quality and stuff, but it contains every allergen that you said not to include, you’re still going to have a bad time because the person running the Instacook 5000 in the back didn’t listen. **Katie Robbert – 16:40** Right. **Christopher S. Penn – 16:40** And didn’t communicate. To your point earlier, did not communicate the expectations: “Yeah, I asked for no sucralose in this pie and it is made entirely of sucralose.” Yes, it’s instant, yes, it’s low cost, but I can’t eat it. And in the context of account management, it’s the exact same thing. One of the biggest dangers to account managers is cognitive offloading. This is where you basically hand executive function to AI. Executive function is four things: planning, organization, decision making, and problem solving, or solving, called PODS for short. A human generally should be doing a better job for a specific account than AI because humans can keep more context in memory than a machine can. **Christopher S. Penn – 17:31** But if you just say, “Okay, I’m just gonna load all the call transcripts and all the emails into Geneva, I’m just gonna have it do all the planning, I’ll have it do all the decision making, I’ll do all the problem solving.” Why do you need an account manager then? If the machine can do it, you don’t need an account manager anymore. So for people who are account managers, it’s incumbent upon them to retain those existing executive functions because: A) you can offer more value, but B) you can prevent yourself from being replaced. **Katie Robbert – 17:59** So go through those again. It was PODS: Planning, Organization, Decision, and Solving. **Christopher S. Penn – 18:05** Got problems? **Katie Robbert – 18:06** Yeah, I could see where offloading the planning to AI is not a bad thing. So, for example, I can see a scenario where you hand over the onboarding of a new client to an automation. It could be triggered by a new statement of work getting put into the client folder, and then the automation kicks in and sets up your Asana, and it sets up your Slack channels, and it drafts—it sends you a draft of the onboarding email based on the prerequisite, whatever. The thing is, I can see where it would do all of that stuff. **Katie Robbert – 18:49** But to your point about the organization and decisions and solving, yes, you can hand that off to AI, but you’re going to lose a lot of that personal touch and a lot of that client satisfaction because it will feel like everything else. It will feel very generic. Why am I engaged with this particular consultant or this particular agency if I’m just getting the generic emails back and forth? Where is that personal touch? Where is that taking the time to remember that I’m situated in upstate New York and the last time we talked, we were in the middle of a snowstorm and I was worried about losing power? **Katie Robbert – 19:37** So, the next time you get on a call, just, “Hey, just wanted to make sure that everything is okay with that snowstorm. Did you end up losing power? How did it go?” It’s a small thing, but it’s a human thing, and it signals, “I was listening. And I care enough about you as a human, and I want to make sure that you’re happy, you’re satisfied.” No, I can’t control the weather or the electricity, but I’m aware that those were things that were pain points for you. **Christopher S. Penn – 20:08** I agree with that. The other thing I would add to that is something that Ethan Mollick says a lot, and I agree with: As machines get smarter, they make smarter mistakes. They make mistakes that are harder and harder to detect. A really good account manager—if you offload planning, organization, decision making, and solving to a machine and it’s coming back with increasingly sophisticated answers—you have to keep up and be able to say, “Is this actually correct? Will this solve the client’s actual problem?” Because machines can create very convincing solution-shaped answers that are not actually solutions or are just slightly wrong. You see this with coding tools especially. It will come and say, “This is the answer.” And you’re like, “That’s close, but you’re not right. And if I implement that change, it will have catastrophic effects.” **Christopher S. Penn – 21:07** Somebody has to be able to say, “This is a problem. This is not right.” What I always tell people when they ask about cognitive offloading is to say, at the very least, have the machine make you make decisions to say, “Okay, we need to organize a strategic plan for this client for this coming quarter.” Instead of saying, “Write the plan,” say, “Give me three options and present the pros and cons of each.” And let’s think through what your three scenarios are. It’s the same thing you and I do when we’re doing planning and we’re doing strategies. We talked about this in past episodes of the show in the live stream: come up with scenarios. Machines are great at coming up with scenarios. **Christopher S. Penn – 21:44** Yeah, but that critical thinking skill of which of these scenarios is actually most likely or what haven’t we considered? That’s where machines can play a really good role. **Katie Robbert – 21:55** I agree with that. Because today, when you’re managing a team, especially a larger team, you tend to have people who default back to, “Well, I’ll just ask my manager for the answer. I’m not going to bother with trying to seek out.” I’ve definitely told the story before where I used to have a manager who had a big sign pasted above her desk which said, “Solutions Only.” Which really meant it’s not that you couldn’t bring her a question or a problem, but she wanted you to do the work, to at least try and solve the problem yourself. Even if you couldn’t come up with the right answer, her first question would be, “What have you tried? What have you found?” I have the same expectation. **Katie Robbert – 22:41** I have the same expectation of you, Chris. You’re not an account manager, but in terms of someone that I work with, if you bring me a question, I may very well say, “Well, what have you tried so far? What have you tried, and it hasn’t worked? What solutions do you think exist for this thing?” When it comes to account management, the person, whoever that person is in that role, has a lot of responsibility. Even if people don’t—people look at an account manager or project manager as an admin, but that’s really not true. They really hold a lot of responsibility. **Katie Robbert – 23:19** And one of the measures of success, especially with AI right now, getting smarter and better and threatening to replace roles like these, is if you want to be better than the AI, to your point, Chris, get ahead of it. I always say to you, and I always say to the team, “If I’m asking for updates and I’m asking questions, you’re already behind.” So assume that I’m the AI that you have to get ahead of. Don’t give me the opportunity to ask questions about where things stand. Don’t give the client the opportunity to wonder what’s the update on this? Get ahead of it. Over communicate. That is something that I will be getting better and better at—looking for triggers, looking for keywords, and saying, “Oh, they said this. Let me go ahead and spin out an update.” **Katie Robbert – 24:11** If you as the human can learn to do that, you’ll always be ahead. We won’t even consider replacing you with AI because you’re doing the biggest thing that we look for: You know what’s going on. Tell me what I need to do today, tell me where things stand. If I, as the manager, am the one asking those questions, I’m already frustrated, and you’re already behind. So get ahead of it, get ahead of me. Don’t give me the chance because AI is going to give me what I need. I say this all to say people are always asking, “Will AI take my job?” That’s a really good use case of where AI would be able to do that if a human is unable to do that. **Christopher S. Penn – 24:54** Exactly. A good account manager is a good project manager at the end of the day. If you look at your task list, is it an admin’s list, or does it look like a project manager’s list? The difference is figuring out which end of the spectrum you are on. If you are closer to the admin side, you’re easier to replace by AI. If you’re close to the project manager side, where there’s a lot more complexity, you are harder to replace. **Katie Robbert – 25:20** I will say with the caveat, my final thought is that an account manager and a project manager are two different disciplines. You could make the Venn diagram and see where they overlap, but traditionally they are two different disciplines. We do know that, so please don’t comment correcting us. We are aware. **Christopher S. Penn – 25:39** Yes. Just take a look at those to-do lists. **Katie Robbert – 25:42** Yes. **Christopher S.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about charisma, and not the slick or manipulative version we sometimes imagine. My guest this week is Milam Miller, leadership development and sales consultant and author of The Charisma Craft: A Modern Leadership Guide to Enhance Your Riz Factor.Milam shares how his own journey from Texas football to New York sports to European soccer and now entrepreneurship taught him that charisma is not an inborn trait but a skill we can all develop. We dig into the ABCs of charisma (Authenticity, Boldness, Curiosity), why confidence is quiet and deeply human and how kindness and decency fuel true influence and connection.About My GuestMilam Miller personifies healthy charisma. His optimistic outlook and zest for life allow him to engage with audiences in an authentic way that inspires bold action and fierce courage.BCK – “Be Confident and Kind” – was a private mantra that Milam created to serve him in the corporate world. Over the course of his career in sports & entertainment, Milam negotiated more than $100MM in commercial revenue for all of the organizations he proudly represented. From the red carpet of The ESPY Awards in Los Angeles to the desert dunes of Doha, Milam has built deep relationships through his study of soft skills and genuine care for people.Milam's mental health severely suffered in a fully remote senior leadership role during the isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. After seeking out help from coaches and therapists, Milam realized he was living out of alignment. In 2022, he stepped back into his power to launch BCK and serve leaders desiring to create stronger teams and drive better results.What was once a personal philosophy is now a public movement to positively transform the future of work. BCK does this by teaching charismatic leadership principles on how to influence, motivate, persuade others. Milam speaks to and coaches Executives, Senior Leaders, and Managers, alike. He also facilitates workshops for Fortune 100 companies, such as Amazon and Google. His subject matter is culturally relevant, topical, and most all, engaging & fun.~Connect with Milam:Website: https://beconfidentandkind.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/milam-miller-bck/The Charisma Craft: https://shorturl.at/2gMPL~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

Key Takeaways from This EpisodeMost solo lawyers are happy.The ALPS survey found that 3 out of 4 solo attorneys feel satisfied in their work. That's much higher than lawyers in big or mid-size firms.Control matters more than money.Many lawyers leave larger firms because they want control over their schedule, clients, and workload—not just a big paycheck.Debt shapes career choices.Law school debt pushes a lot of people into jobs they didn't plan for. Over time, that can lead to burnout or regret.Less stress when you focus.Solos who pick one or two practice areas do better and even pay lower malpractice insurance. The more you “dabble,” the more risk you take on.Solo life doesn't mean lonely life.Many solos stay connected through Facebook groups, Slack channels, and local bar groups. Support is there—you just need to reach out.Health and vacation matter.Most solos in the survey rated their health as good or great, and many take real time off each year. When you take care of yourself, you do better work.Technology made going solo easier.You don't need a big office anymore. Tools like Clio and virtual offices make it possible to start a practice with low costs.More lawyers will keep going solo.About 76% of solos plan to stay that way. They like the freedom, the clients they serve, and the work they're building for themselves.The big message:You don't need to stay in a job that drains you. You can build a practice that fits your life—and still be a great lawyer.ALPS INSURANCE REPORT FINDS SOLO LAW FIRMS BUCKING THE LAWYER WELL-BEING CRISIS TRENDWhile solo practitioners make up 49% of private practice lawyers in the U.S., relatively little research or attention has focused specifically on America's solo community. At the end of 2024, ALPS endeavored to establish benchmark data about solo attorneys and their respective professional satisfaction to determine how this subset of the nation's legal workforce was faring. The findings, released in the 2025 Solo Attorney Well-Being Trends Report, were surprising.

Dr. Jeff Schwartzentruber is a Senior Machine Learning Scientist at eSentire, working on anomaly detection pipelines and the use of large language models to enhance cybersecurity operations.The Evolution of AI in Cyber Security // MLOps Podcast #344 with Jeff Schwartzentruber, Staff Machine Learning Scientist at eSentire.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractModern cyber operations can feel opaque. This talk explains—step by step—what a security operations center (SOC) actually does, how telemetry flows in from networks, endpoints, and cloud apps, and what an investigation can credibly reveal about attacker behavior, exposure, and control gaps. We then trace how AI has shown up in the SOC: from rules and classic machine learning for detection to natural-language tools that summarize alerts and turn questions like “show failed logins from new countries in the last 24 hours” into fast database queries. The core of the talk is our next step: agentic investigations. These GenAI agents plan their work, run queries across tools, cite evidence, and draft analyst-grade findings—with guardrails and a human in the loop. We close with what's next: risk-aware auto-remediation, verifiable knowledge sources, and a practical checklist for adopting these capabilities safely.// BioDr. Jeff Schwartzentruber holds the position of Sr. Machine Learning Scientist at eSentire – a Canadian cybersecurity company specializing in Managed Detection and Response (MDR). Dr. Schwartzentruber's primary academic and industry research has been concentrated on solving problems at the intersection of cybersecurity and machine learning (ML).

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: What signals do you look for when interviewing candidates? I've helped interview many people at this point and almost all of the engineers that I marked as “hire” that we brought on board ended up being low performers and were eventually managed out. I wasn't the only one who approved them either, so not all the blame falls on me, but I'm really doubting my ability to assess talent. Is hiring inherently just this difficult? Is there anything I can do to improve my judgement or screening approach? Hi Dave and Jamison, A coworker on my team won't stop creating AI generated memes. We're a remote team and every meeting he shares memes in the chat whilst we're trying to have productive conversations. He does this in any type of meeting, including all-hands meetings with C-level execs. On smaller calls he often hijacks it to share his screen and show us a meme he just created about something that was just said. It started off funny at first. But it's now a constant distraction. I find it frustrating because I don't see how he can be paying attention and contributing to discussions when he's busy making memes. And, I also don't appreciate seeing AI versions of my own face being shared into public Slack channels. How can I address this without sounding like I am anti-fun? Love the show, been listening for many years, keep up the good work!
