 Where does Gianfranco Zola rank among Chelsea's greatest-ever Premier League players? How much of his extraordinary technical ability was shaped by learning alongside the great Diego Maradona at Napoli? Gary, Alan and Micah look back on the career of the “Little Master” Gianfranco Zola — from being one of the finest foreign imports to grace the Premier League in the 1990s, to laying the foundations for Chelsea's rise into a dominant force under Roman Abramovich and José Mourinho in the 2000s.

Real Madrid kept up their pursuit of league leaders Barcelona but only just, needing a 100th minute penalty from Kylian Mbappe to spare their blushes at home to Rayo Vallecano, in a match which saw Vinicius Jr booed despite scoring a worldie and Jude Bellingham leaving the pitch in tears clutching his hamstring. Gary and Alex look at why the atmosphere continues to be so fractious at the Bernabeu. Barcelona kept themselves ahead of the rest with a 3-1 away at Elche in a game in which they spurned plenty of chances to make the scoreline even greater, goals from Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford were enough for the three points. With the league being so tight and the knock-out stages of the Champions League upon us who do Gary and Alex think has the squad capable of winning it all this season? There's also been more grumbling at Atletico Madrid as they struggled to a 0-0 draw at Levante, leaving Diego Simeone calling for reinforcements in the transfer window, but after fifteen years in charge have the fans decided it's time for a change?

Are your meetings indistinguishable from 1940s wartime sabotage tactics? You're not alone. In this episode, Rebecca Hinds, author of Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done, reveals why corporate meetings have become the single most dysfunctional practice in modern organizations—and how to fix them. Brandon and Rebecca explore a radical idea: what if we treated meetings like products, applying the same design principles that make great products great? From "meeting doomsday" (a complete calendar reset) to Amazon's study hall approach, Rebecca shares actionable strategies that organizations like Slack, Dropbox, and Shopify have used to declare war on meeting bloat. You'll discover why double-booking has become a toxic badge of honor, how the visibility bias makes us associate presence with productivity, and why crowdsourcing your agenda using the "Dory method" can transform boring monologues into engaging collaboration. Rebecca also tackles the AI paradox—why more meeting bots might be making your meetings worse, not better—and shares the "iron rule" that every leader needs to embrace. If you've ever walked out of a meeting wondering what you just accomplished (or why you were even there), this episode is your blueprint for change. Don't miss Rebecca's insights on why meetings are the most important—and least optimized—product in your organization.

My guest today is ⁠Gokul Rajaram⁠, Founding Partner at Marathon Management. Gokul is one of the most prolific product builders and investors of the last twenty years. He has built the core ad and product businesses at Google, Facebook, Square, and DoorDash, working at each company during its most formative scaling periods. Alongside his operating career, Gokul has invested in more than 700 companies, giving him an unusually broad view into how products are built and scaled. This conversation is about how product building is changing with AI. We discuss the one thing Gokul believes is truly future-proof in AI, why companies like Zendesk and Slack are more exposed than Salesforce or NetSuite, and the only sources of defensibility.  We also talk about everything Gokul has learned from helping build the most important ads businesses, including the only three ways an ad business can make money, how those constraints shape product decisions, and what consumer behavior change threatens every major platform. Gokul shares lessons from working closely with Larry and Sergey, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and Tony Xu. Please enjoy my conversation with Gokul Rajaram.

Five of the six English clubs have finished in the top eight of the Champions League league phase, automatically qualifying for the knockout rounds. With many of those same teams struggling domestically this season, why have they been so strong in Europe? Is the physical intensity of the Premier League giving them an edge on the continental stage? Gary, Alan and Micah also react to a chaotic final day of the league phase, as European heavyweights including Real Madrid and PSG fail to secure automatic qualification.

In this episode, we're joined by Kendall Breitman, Community Lead at Riverside.fm, to unpack what it really takes to build meaningful community in a noisy, content-saturated world. A former reporter turned community builder, Kendall shares why trust has to come before tactics, why video is one of the most powerful tools for connection when used with intention, and how brands and creators can stop chasing reach and start building relationships that actually last. Whether you're creating content, leading a brand, or thinking about community in 2026 and beyond, this conversation will challenge how you think about growth, visibility, and showing up online.Key Takeaways:// Community starts with trust, not platforms or tactics — strategy comes before tools.// Video works when it's human, not overproduced or performance-driven.// Connection requires intention — reach alone doesn't build loyalty.// Brands earn trust by showing up consistently, transparently, and with real value.Connect with Kendall: LinkedInLearn more about Riverside: Website____Join the MHH Collective!

Growing up in Iowa, Allie Jones was immersed in a culture of “Iowa nice,” a brand of politeness defined by being helpful, agreeable, and perpetually pleasant. So not surprisingly, niceness became a core value for Allie, one that was reinforced by her community, but also complicated by its shadow: the tendency to avoid hard conversations and uncomfortable truths in favor of small talk and surface-level connections.Early in her career as a third-grade teacher, she poured herself into her students, striving to live up to the expectations of hard work and service. But as she recounts, supportive words from administrators weren't matched with real action, and the relentless pace of changing curricula and high standards left her burnt out. When she realized that staying in the classroom would be the wrong kind of responsible, she left teaching, took a sabbatical to explore the country, house sat, and dipped her toes into freelance writing and marketing.Navigating this period of uncertainty, Allie was challenged by the perennial question, “Who am I if I'm not what I do?” She realized that so many of our identities are tied up in our job titles and professional achievements, but true fulfillment lay in embracing her transferable skills, resiliency, and capacity for connection.Allie now has an intention to cultivate a new version of “Iowa kind,” because there's a difference between nice and kind.

Smart leaders know trust is the backbone of a thriving workplace, and in today's hybrid whirlwind, it doesn't grow from quarterly updates or the occasional Slack ping. It grows from steady, human communication.Plenty of companies think they're doing great because they host all-staff meetings, keep “open door” policies, and throw the occasional team-building event. Meanwhile, leaders who truly care about culture are choosing better tools.That's where I come in. Forward-thinking organizations bring me in to create internal podcasts that connect people through real stories, honest conversations, and genuine community—your old printed newsletter reinvented for the way people actually work now.If you run, work for, or know a company ready to upgrade communication and strengthen culture, reach out at Lori@ZenRabbit dot...

Ever notice you're second-guessing decisions you used to make without breaking a sweat? That's not growth. That's overload. In this episode, Tammy calls out why smart, capable leaders are freezing at the worst possible moments—and how waiting for certainty, consensus, or Slack approval is quietly killing momentum, trust, and leadership credibility. This is a fast, direct, "cattle prod" conversation about decisiveness as a discipline, not bravado—and why movement creates clarity while waiting destroys it. If you've been stalling, hedging, or hoping one more opinion will magically make the decision easier… this one's for you. What We Get Into Why indecision isn't wisdom—it's too much input and not enough command How leaders get trapped between downstream fear (team fallout) and upstream pressure (boardroom decisions without them) The dangerous lie of "leadership by Slack comments" A real story of a leader who had authority—but gave it away to opinions How waiting for certainty abandons momentum and burns out your people Why neutrality is not neutral—and how delay creates confusion, not safety The truth bomb: When everyone's opinion matters, leadership disappears Key Takeaways (Read These Twice) Humans struggle to decide when: Stakes feel permanent Judgment feels public Mistakes feel unforgivable Waiting for certainty doesn't make you wise—it makes you stuck Decisiveness is a practice, not a personality trait You don't need all the information—you need enough, and you decide what "enough" means Strong leaders decide what can be adjusted later instead of freezing now Movement creates clarity. Waiting kills it. The Leadership Reset Moment Ask yourself: What information is actually necessary to decide? Who truly needs a voice—and who doesn't? What am I willing to course-correct after I move? Where has my delay already cost trust, momentum, or energy? Then decide. Not recklessly. Not loudly. Deliberately. Final Truth Bomb Waiting for certainty is how good leaders quietly derail their teams. And remember: When everyone's opinion matters, leadership disappears. Call to Action If you know a leader who's stalling, hedging, or letting Slack run the show—share this episode with them. Because leadership isn't inherited. It's practiced. And today was a practice rep.

Carlos Diaz, c'est l'histoire d'un entrepreneur français qui a compris très tôt que le jeu n'était pas le même selon le terrain. Tout commence à Limoges en 1997, quand il crée avec son frère Manuel une agence digitale totalement improbable, à une époque où Internet n'était encore qu'un bricolage pour initiés. Ils travaillent depuis la province, mais leurs clients sont déjà à Paris et l'un des plus importants leur confie même toute sa stratégie digitale, en France comme à l'international. Très vite, Carlos plonge dans la première vague tech : le web dynamique, le SaaS, le cloud et même un réseau social d'entreprise avant que Slack n'existe ! Mais en France, personne ne comprend. Les usages sont figés, l'ambition dérange, la prise de risque fait peur. Alors en 2010, Carlos traverse l'Atlantique pour les États-Unis avec femme et enfant. Ce qui devait être une parenthèse de 2 ans devient une immersion totale. Quinze ans plus tard, il vit toujours là-bas. Pendant toutes ces années, Carlos a décortiqué l'Amérique de l'intérieur : sa culture du dépassement, son obsession du business, son rapport décomplexé à l'argent. Cette mentalité du « All-in » permanent où tout peut exploser ou s'effondrer. Entrepreneur, il devient aussi VC, investit dans 57 startups et observe de près ceux qui tiennent le choc et ceux qui repartent, brisés par le choc culturel. Il voit les États-Unis aspirer les talents, les ambitions, les financements. Et il comprend que la réussite ici n'est pas qu'une question d'idée, mais de système, d'énergie, de brutalité aussi. Aujourd'hui, avec son podcast Silicon Carne, il construit un média devenu un vrai business, suivi par une audience ultra qualifiée de décideurs français. Un échange fascinant, brut, lucide avec un entrepreneur passionnant et passionné. Bonne écoute !===========================

#335: Observability tools have exploded in recent years, but most come with a familiar tradeoff: either pay steep cloud vendor markups or spend weeks building custom dashboards from scratch. Coroot takes a different path as a self-hosted, open source observability platform that prioritizes simplicity over flexibility. Using eBPF technology, Coroot automatically instruments applications without requiring code changes or complex configuration, delivering what co-founder Peter Zaitsev calls opinionated observability—a philosophy of less is more that aims to reduce cognitive overload rather than drowning users in endless metrics and dashboards. The conversation explores how Coroot differentiates itself in a crowded market with over a hundred observability vendors. Rather than competing head-to-head with cloud giants like Datadog and Dynatrace, Coroot focuses on developers who need answers fast without building elaborate monitoring systems. The platform combines systematic root cause analysis with AI-powered recommendations, using deterministic methods to trace how errors propagate through microservices before handing off to LLMs for actionable fix suggestions. Darin and Viktor dig into Coroot's business model with Peter, examining why the company chose Apache 2.0 licensing instead of more restrictive options, and how staying bootstrapped with minimal angel funding allows them to play the long game without pressure to chase every hype cycle.   Peter's contact information: X: https://x.com/PeterZaitsev Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/peterzaitsev.bsky.social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterzaitsev/   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: In this week’s In Ear Insights, one of the biggest questions that everybody has about AI, particularly as we’re seeing more automation capabilities, more autonomous capabilities. Last week we took a look at Claude Code, both on the Trust Insights podcast and on the live stream. Katie, you and I did some pretty cool stuff with it outside of that for our own company. Here’s the big question everybody wants an answer to—at least people who are in charge. And I want to hear your answer to this because I have an answer that’s a terrible answer. The answer is this. With the capabilities of AI today, and as they’re growing and becoming more autonomous, do I as a leader—do I hire, retrain, or outsource, or figure out the fourth category? Replace with AI? Hire, retrain, outsource, replace with AI. So, Katie, when you think about the people management at any company with that big 800-pound gorilla in the room called AI, how do you think about this? Katie Robbert: To borrow a phrase from Christopher S. Penn, it depends. And you knew I was going to say that. It really depends on what the responsibility is. So for those of us in the service industry—consulting—we have clients, customers. There’s still an expectation of human-to-human contact and relationship management, client services, really. So that I feel like unless that expectation goes away, which there’s a reason you’re in that industry in the first place, that I don’t see being able to replace. But then when you go behind the scenes, there’s a lot of tasks that can be automated, and that’s what you and I were working on at the end of last week. And so that to your question of, well, if the person is only just talking to the clients, why do I need someone full time? It really, again, it really depends on how many clients you have, how high maintenance they are, how much relationship you want to build with them. I am coming around on automating more stuff that someone, a human, could be doing or was doing. I am coming around on that. But when I look at my own role, what it’s doing is freeing me up to actually do what I’m supposed to be doing in my role versus being in the weeds. Whereas someone who isn’t me may have the opposite happening where this is all that they do. And so I see it personally as an opportunity for whoever is in that role of, “I’m doing things, just repetitive tasks.” They can either choose, “Okay, I’ve been automated out, I’m going to go find someplace else that hasn’t quite caught up with the technology yet,” or it’s an opportunity to really deep dive into critical thinking, to really look around and go, “Well, if I’m not doing this, what could I be doing? What am I not getting to that I have time for?” That’s the way that I personally think about it. And with the teams that I’ve managed, regardless of the technology, there’s always going to be something to take things off your plate, more team members to delegate to. That’s always my first go-to is what can you do with this time that you have back? And if their answer is, “Well, nothing,” okay, great. So I really, instead of me—and again, I know I’m unique—but instead of me saying, “Okay, you no longer have a job, I’ve automated you out,” I always try to give the person the choice of, “Okay, we’ve automated a lot of your stuff. What does that mean for you?” To see where their head is at. And that tells me a lot of what I need to know. Christopher S. Penn: I can definitely see it. Particularly thinking back to our agency days and the different personalities, there were certainly some people who, given the extra time, would have taken the initiative and said, “Okay, I’m going to do these eight other things.” And one person in particular who is fairly bossy to begin with, definitely would have. Katie Robbert: It wasn’t me. Christopher S. Penn: No, no. Would definitely have taken the initiative to try new things. There are other people who would have just said, “Okay, well, so instead of eight hours of tasks a day, I have four.” “So the other four, I’m literally just going to stare off into space vacantly.” Given those personalities then, and when you get a response back, say from that second archetype, if you will, where they just vacantly stare off into space for four hours a day, how do you manage that? What do you do with that human capital? Because certainly, as an organization gets larger, and you look at a company like IBM, for example, 300,000 employees, you could see that there might be a case to say, “We don’t need a hundred thousand of you,” because there’s so much slack in the system that you could easily, with good automation, consolidate that down. Katie Robbert: Here’s the thing about management that I think a lot of people get wrong. And to be fair, I think you do as well. You can’t change people. You can’t bend them to your will. You can’t say, “This is how it is, this is what you have to do.” People will self-select out. If you present them with, “These are the options that you have,” it might not be an immediate thing. There may be some willful resistance, some delusion, whatever, of, “No, I can totally do that.” What I’ve learned as a manager: If you have that person who had eight hours of stuff to do, now only has four, and they’re going to stare at the wall, you revise their job description accordingly. You rewrite, you revise their salary accordingly, legally providing it. You don’t just say, “Okay, I’m taking away half your money now,” or you give them a bunch of other things to do, and they may say, “Okay, I don’t want to do those things.” I think what I’m circling around is that people, to your point, some people will take the initiative, some people won’t. You can’t teach that. That is innately part of someone’s personality. You know me, Chris. You give me an inch, I’m like, “Great, I’m going to run the company.” Christopher S. Penn: Funny how that works. Katie Robbert: Yeah. So, I’m someone, if you give me a little bit more free time back, I’m like, “Great, what else can I do?” Not everyone is like that. And that’s okay. So that means that as a manager—as frustrating as it is as a leader—people will self-select out. And the people who don’t, those are the stragglers that, “Okay, now we need to think about counseling you out.” We need to coach you out of this so that you can see it’s either no longer a fit, you have to do more, whatever the situation is. And so to your question about, as we find more ways to automate the tasks, what do we do with the humans? And that’s my response: You give people the choice, you let them figure out what it is they’re going to do. Now, full disclosure, there are people who are not a good fit for your company, 100%. And that’s okay. And that’s when you make decisions that are really hard. You have challenging conversations. That happens. You can’t just blanket give everybody the choice. But that’s why I’m saying it’s a complicated answer. It depends. So when I think about our old team, everyone across the board who was on our old team, not everyone on that team was a good fit. Not everyone on that team would have been given the choice of, “Okay, we’re automating. Do you want to do more? Do you want to do?” Some people, you just know, “Okay, this is just not going to work.” So let’s start those conversations now. But being really honest and upfront: “This is the direction the team is moving in. This is where we see you. I don’t see that those two things are a good fit. We can either find you a different spot in the company or we can assist you to find other employment.” I feel like you just need to be fair to the people to be, “I’m not just going to fire you on the spot because I’ve found out AI is a shiny object.” You need to really be thoughtful again. I get it. Not everyone does this. Not everyone has the luxury to do it. But this would be my ideal state: having a conversation with every team member to be, “This is where we’re headed. Do you want to go with us or do you want to go someplace else? If you want to go someplace else, we will support you in that.” Christopher S. Penn: So you’re hitting on something really important, which is what is the archetype, if you will, or archetypes of that AI-enabled employee? The person who, given AI, given tools, good tools, is self-motivated to say, “What else can I do? What cool things can I do?” Kind of a tinkerer almost, but still gets the work done first. Who is that? What are the durable skills or soft skills that make up that personality? Obviously, self-motivation and curiosity are part of it. And then this is the part that I think everyone’s really interested in: How do we find and hire them? How do we determine in an interview this person is an AI-enabled employee who has that drive and that motivation to want to be more, and they don’t need their handheld to do it. Katie Robbert: I guess the first thing I would say is don’t call them AI-enabled because. I say that because you’re mixing the two different skill sets. I wrote about this last year. We’re not calling them soft skills anymore because they’re actually more important than you can teach anyone how to follow an SOP, but you can’t teach someone to be motivated. You can’t teach someone to be curious. So I made the argument that quote unquote, soft skills were more important than these hard skills, which are technology. So you can’t teach that. The way that I approach interviews is just having a conversation. To me, it’s less about asking. Obviously, you have questions that you have to ask: Do you know this technology? Have you had this challenge? What is this process? So and so forth. You need to get that baseline of experience. But then again, I recognize that not everyone has the luxury of doing this the way that I do it. But, given an ideal state, it’s just a conversation. So some of the questions that I remember Chris asked me during our interview, when you first interviewed me, were: What kind of books are you reading? What podcast do you listen to? I feel like those are really good questions because they tell you, is this person interested in learning more or are they just, it’s a 9 to 5. Once 5 o’clock hits, I’m checking out, which is totally respectable. Once 5 o’clock hits, I check out as well. But I try to do the most that I can within the time that I have. So, ideally there would be a blend of personal interests and professional interests, and maybe books and podcasts aren’t the thing. So, I think I said to you, “Oh, I read your newsletter.” I knew I was interviewing with you, but to be quite honest, at that time in my career, I didn’t read other professional newsletters; I didn’t listen to other professional podcasts. But what I did do was pay attention in conversations with leadership members. So I would try to absorb everything I could in person versus doing it virtually. And that’s the kind of information you want to suss out. So if you ask a person, “Oh, what do you read? What do you listen to?” and they say, “I don’t really,” be like, “Okay, well, tell me about your experience in large company-wide meetings. How do you feel when you’re in those?” What’s it like at your company? If given the opportunity to lead a meeting, would you want to? What does that look like? You can find answers to those questions without saying, “Are you curious? Are you motivated?” Because everyone’s going to try to say yes. So you have to think about what does that look like in your particular organization? First, you have to define what does a learner look like? What does someone who’s curious look like? What does that mean? Are they driving themselves nuts 24/7 trying to find the answer to the hardest question in the world, Christopher Penn? Or are they someone who is, “Hey, that’s really cool. Let me do a little bit of research.” There’s room for both. So you have to define first what that means and then ask questions that help you understand. This is someone who fits those characteristics. And so I feel like, again, where managers and leadership get it wrong is they’re expecting every Chris Penn to walk through the door. And that’s just not how it is. I am not you. I do not have the same level of passion about technology that you do. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not capable of being curious and I’m not capable of learning new things. Christopher S. Penn: Right. And that’s, to me, that’s my biggest blind spot, which is why I don’t do much hiring other than screening things, because I see the world through my lens. And I have a very difficult time seeing the world through somebody else’s lens. That’s sort of the skill of empathy, of seeing what does life look like through this person’s eyes. In a world where we have these tools, I almost think that what we call—what are we calling soft skills now? I mean, I suggested durable skills or transferable skills. What are you calling that? Katie Robbert: For the sake of this conversation, let’s call them durable. Christopher S. Penn: Okay. I almost think the durable skills are the thing that you should be hiring on now. Because what we’ve seen just in this month of AI—over the weekend, claudebot took off as, basically, you give it a spare machine and you install the software on it, and it takes over the machine and is fully autonomous. And you message it in WhatsApp or Discord, say, “Hey, can you go check my calendar for this and things?” And it does all these things on the back end. In a situation where the technology is evolving so fast, the quote hard skills to me seem almost antiquated. Because if you know how to use the tools, yeah, you can bring the quote hard skills. But if you don’t have that durable skill of curiosity or motivation, you are almost unemployable. Katie Robbert: I would agree with that. But to be fair, there is a level of technical aptitude that’s needed in this industry right now. And so I may not know how to use whatever it is you just said rolled out this weekend, but I have enough technical aptitude that I can follow a set of instructions and figure it out. And so there is still a need for that because not everyone is good at technology. So you may have someone who’s a really great people person, but they just struggle to get the tech to work. There may be room for them at the table. You first have to figure out what that looks like for your company. So maybe you have someone who’s going to be amazing with your clients. They’re going to have those deep conversations, make those connections. Your clients are going to stay forever. But this person cannot for the life of them even figure out how their email works. You have to make those choices. And I can already see you’re like, “Okay, I can’t deal with that person.” Christopher S. Penn: I’m thinking the opposite. I’m thinking the technology is evolving so fast that person’s valuable. Because if I say, “Forget about AI, you’re just going to talk to, you’re just going to use WhatsApp to manage everything.” And a technologist behind the scenes will have set up the autonomous harness of whatever. That person won’t need to do any tech. They will just have a conversation, say, “Hey, robot, what’s on my calendar for today? What are the top three things I need to get done today?” And it will go through, churn through, connect to this, grab this, do this. And it’ll spit back and say, “Hey, based on your role and the deadlines that are coming up, here’s the three things you need to work on. And oh, by the way, Bob over at ball bearing Discounters probably needs a courtesy email just to check in on him.” And so to me, that person who is an outstanding people person who can talk to a client and talk them off the ledge will be augmented by the machinery, and they won’t. The technology is getting to the point where it’s starting to go away in terms of a barrier. It’s just there; you just chat with it like anything else. So I would say that durable skill is even more important now. Katie Robbert: I would agree with that. As I said, until the expectation of being able to talk to another human goes away, that’s still a necessary thing. And I don’t see that going away anytime soon. Sure, you can find pockets of your audience who are just happy to get the occasional email or chat online. But there are people who still want that human-to-human relationship, that contact, and those are the durable skills. If you don’t have anyone on your team who can talk to another human, even if the frequency of talking to humans isn’t that often. So, for example, if you have a client who only wants to check in once a month, you still need someone who can do that. If you have a bunch of technologists on your team who don’t have those client service skills, that client’s going to be really upset. “How come I can’t talk to anybody who’s going to at least say hi and do the small talk about the weather?” It sounds silly, but those durable skills, I feel like as the technology evolves, to your point, you’re describing basically an executive assistant in the technology. “Go check my calendar, go do this, go do that.” I agree. You don’t need a human to do that. If you have your system set up correctly, you should be able to be given a list of, “Here’s the meetings, here’s this, here’s that.” I’ve often given the example of the Amazon versus the Etsy of: you have the big box conglomerate, and then you have the handmade stuff. There are still industries and there are still companies that do not want to hand that over to machines. And that’s okay. That’s the way they operate. They’re fine with that. Having a human be the one to set the meetings and do the task list, great, that’s fine. And I think that’s the other thing that we’ve talked about on other episodes: just because the technology exists doesn’t mean you have to use it; doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for what your company is doing. And it always goes back to what are the goals of your company. Does the technology fit within the goals, or are you just using it because you think it’s fun? Chris. Christopher S. Penn: The answer is always yes. It’s because it is fun. It is fun. How do you—I keep coming back to this because I’m bad at it. How do you hire that? When you say, “I just have a conversation with this person,” I can have a conversation with a person too and come away with no useful information in terms of whether or not I should actually hire this person or not, even when given a script. Because it’s the same as when you or I prompt a machine. We prompt them in very different ways. I get the outputs I’m looking for, and a lot of other people struggle. Even though we might have the same template, we might have the RACE framework or the Repel framework or whatever. Or the casino framework. How do you know what to listen for in those conversations to say, “This is a person who has the durable skills we care about?” Katie Robbert: It really depends on the questions you’re asking. So if you’re, “Hey, did you play sports in high school?” and they say yes, that doesn’t automatically make them a team player. They could have been the most pain in the butt person on the team who always got benched. But all you asked was, “Did you play sports in high school?” Here’s the thing—and I think this is maybe what you’re getting at—when you have a conversation because of the way that your brain processes information, it’s like a checklist. “Did they play sports?” Yes. “Have they been on teams before?” Yes. “Have they turned on a computer before?” Yes. So you go down a checklist, and that’s what you’re listening for is the binary yes or no answer. Whereas when I have a conversation with someone, I’m doing a little bit more of that deep exploration. “Okay, Chris, did you play sports in high school?” Yes. For me, that’s not a satisfactory enough answer. “Well, tell me about that experience. What was the sport? What was the team dynamic? What role or position did you have? Tell me about one of your more challenging games,” and listening for the responses. So if you said, “Well, I was on the lacrosse team in high school. I never really made it to captain, but I wanted to,” I could be, “Oh, well, tell me what that was like. Why didn’t you make it to captain?” “Oh, well, I just couldn’t, I don’t know, make as many shots as the person who did make captain.” “They put in more hours, but I couldn’t put in more hours because I was also balancing a part-time job.” “Oh, okay, that makes sense.” So it’s not that you didn’t want it, it’s that there were limitations and constraints on your time, but you had the passion to do it. There were just obstacles in your way. So it’s really starting to pick apart the nuance. Or you could say, “Yeah, I played lacrosse in high school.” “Oh, so tell me about some of your favorite memories of that.” “Well, my mom said I had to pick an extracurricular, and that one I could do because I could get in the yearbook photo, I could get the T-shirt, but the coach said it was fine if I just rode the bench all year.” Two very different answers to the same question. Christopher S. Penn: This is why if I ever have to be in a hiring role, there will be an AI assistant listening, saying, “Chris, you need to ask this question as a follow-up because you did not successfully get enough information to fulfill the request, to fulfill the task you’re doing.” Katie Robbert: But that’s a really important point. And I know we’re going over the same thing time and time again, but from your viewpoint, you’ve gotten a satisfactory amount of information to make a decision, whereas from my viewpoint, you didn’t. Versus vice versa. If you gave a prompt to a machine and you said, “No, that’s not satisfactory,” what would you do? Christopher S. Penn: Say, “You need to do this and this.” Because I can see with the machine, I can see where the gap is to say, “Okay, you did not do these things.” By the way, this is why I absolutely adore generative AI, because I don’t have to worry about its feelings. I could say, “Here’s where you failed, you have failed. This was a catastrophic failure. Try again.” Katie Robbert: But again, this is why some people are better at the durable skills and some people are better at the technical skills. And there’s room for both at the table. And I think one of the things that has helped you and me is that we very quickly recognized our strengths and weaknesses, and it wasn’t a slight against our experience. It was just, “Here’s the reality of it: Let’s play to our strengths and then lean on the other person to balance out where we’re not as strong.” Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. Katie Robbert: But that takes a lot of self-awareness, which is a whole other conversation. Christopher S. Penn: That is a durable skill all of its own. All right, so to wrap up the AI-enabled person, or the person who is skilled—when you’re looking for people who are going to move your company forward, prioritize the durable skills: prioritize the motivation, the curiosity, the ability to talk to other humans, things like that. Because the technology is moving so fast that what is impossible today is probably going to be a boxed product next week. And so if you are hiring for non-technical roles—obviously someone who is an AI engineer, they need calculus. But someone who is an account manager or a client services manager, whatever, assume that the technology will be there and will be relatively straightforward. Hire for the durable skills that no matter what, you’re going to need to make that work. If you’ve got some stories that you’d like to share about how you are doing hiring and to answer that question—should we hire, retrain, outsource, or replace Popeye or free, select—go to TrustInsights.ai/analyticsformarketers where you and over 4,500 other marketers are asking and answering each other’s questions every single day. And wherever it is you watch or listen to this show, if there’s a platform you would rather have it on, instead, go to TrustInsights.ai/TIpodcast. You can find us at all the places fine podcasts are served. Thanks for tuning in. We’ll talk to you on the next one. Speaker 3: Want to know more about Trust Insights?

It's neck and neck at the top of La Liga as Real Madrid kept up the pressure on leaders Barcelona with a 2-0 win away at third placed Villarreal while Barca put last week's slip up behind them with a 3-0 win over Real Oviedo at the Camp Nou. Gary and Alex look at another two goals for the rampant Kylian Mbappe, including a panenka penalty he awkwardly dedicated to teammate Brahim Diaz, and there's an absolute stunner from Lamine Yamal to enjoy too. It's transfer season and rumours have begun to swirl over Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at Real Madrid, with some reports suggesting he could be on the way out in the summer. Gary and Alex look at the England international's difficult first six months in Madrid and assess his chances of turning his fortunes around as we approach the world cup. There's more transfer talk on the other half of Madrid with Atletico's Julian Alvarez linked with a return to the Premier League in what would be a sensational January move to Arsenal. Diego Simeone has publicly backed the underperforming former Man City man but could the move be the thing that would finally get the Gunners over the line in their quest to win the Premier League title?

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about the pressure to be perfect and the freedom that comes when we shift our focus to progress instead. My guest this week is Maria Rincon, a public speaking coach and former communications consultant at the United Nations. Maria shares her story of growing up as an overachiever in an immigrant household where perfection was expected and external validation became the measure of success.In our conversation, we explore how perfectionism and impostor syndrome often go hand in hand, especially for those raised to equate achievement with self-worth. Maria talks about what it felt like to always be chasing the next accomplishment, how her work at the UN helped her reconnect with her values, and the mindset shift that allowed her to stop striving for approval and start living on her own terms.She also shares the mantras she uses to ground herself, including “progress over perfection,” and why this phrase has become a daily reminder to let go of unrealistic expectations. We talk about how she brings this perspective into her work with clients, helping high performers build confidence through play, self-connection and a simple practice she calls an “evidence log.”About My GuestGrowing up in a Colombian-Chinese household in Canada, Maria was a perfectionist since the age of seven. Always striving for success and to please her parents, she went on to get straight A's, win beauty pageants, complete a prestigious Master's program on full scholarship and work for the United Nations, until she hit a personal crisis of finding her purpose. As someone recovering from imposter syndrome, she's now a public speaking coach helping multilingual professionals speak with more confidence (and believe in themselves!).~Connect with Maria:Website: https://publicspeakingwithmaria.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrincon/~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 us a textIn this episode, we're joined by illustrator, letterer, and YouTuber Chris Piascik for a wide-ranging conversation about building a creative career without a grid master plan and why showing up consistently can change everything. Chris shares how a daily challenge that started as a way to reconnect with drawing quietly became the foundation of his entire career. We talk about what it means to play the long game as a creative, how personal work can naturally lead to apid opportunities, and why focusing on making matters more than chasing the perfect strategy. We also dig into YouTube as a creative outlet and income stream, how Chris balances client work with products and content creation, and the realities of building systems that work with (not against) an ADHD brain. From style evolution and experimentation to shipping physical products and dealing with internet opinions, this episode is packed with honest insights and plenty of laughs.All that and more when you listen to this episode:How a daily drawing habit shaped Chris's entire careerWhy personal work and client work can feel like the same thingThe unexpected path from illustrator to YouTuberCreating structure and rules to stay consistentWhat actually helps your style evolve over timeWhy making more work matters more than making “perfect” workBuilding income beyond client projects through products and contentThe realities of running an online shopWhat makes YouTube different from other social platformsLetting curiosity, experimentation, and fun lead the wayConnect with Chris PiascikInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrispiascik/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chris-piascik Website:https://www.chrispiascik.com/ Shop: https://www.chrispiascik.com/shop Mentioned in this episode:Follow Your Art Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/follow-your-art_9781419776823/SkillshareAdobe FrescoProcreateTom Froese (illustration improv exercises)Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube Love The Typecast and free stuff?

Want to book amazing podcast guests that actually match your ICP? In this solo episode of Pipe Dream, host Jason Bradwell shares his playbook for finding and booking ideal guests without turning the interview into a thinly veiled sales pitch. Jason starts with the elephant in the room: yes, you can invite guests who are also potential customers, but you cannot Trojan horse them. If you bring someone on the show and pitch them live, you create a bad experience for the guest, your audience, and your reputation. The rule is simple: content-first, always. Focus on a great conversation and a genuine value exchange, then let the relationship deepen naturally over time. Next, he breaks down where to find great guests. First: your immediate network. Start with executives, employees, customers, partners, and trusted connections, people who already know you and will say yes faster. Those first few episodes build credibility and social proof, which makes outreach to strangers dramatically easier. Second: your CRM. Jason recommends targeting lapsed prospects accounts you haven't engaged with in weeks or months and using the podcast as a re-engagement mechanism. If you run an ABM strategy, this is especially powerful: you can target high-fit accounts, invite the right people, and start meaningful conversations without a sales agenda. From there, Jason walks through prospecting tools. LinkedIn Sales Navigator helps with demographic and firmographic targeting, and tools like Apollo and Clay can help you build precise guest lists at scale. But the sleeper channels are Slack communities and conference speaker lists. In industry-specific Slack groups, people don't ignore direct notifications the way they do email or LinkedIn DMs. Jason notes content-first outreach can reach 60–70% response rates in the right communities. And conference speakers are already primed to share expertise, so their speaking topic becomes an easy hook to start the conversation. Once you've built your target list, Jason outlines a two-step outreach sequence. Message one is intentionally short: introduce the show, explain why you're reaching out to them, and ask if they'd like more details, no episode pitch, no long explanation. Message two comes after they've shown interest: reinforce why it's worth their time (downloads, guest lineup, maybe even payment) and share a personalised episode angle based on their experience, proving it's a real content opportunity, not random outreach. 00:00 - Introduction: Finding and booking dream guests 01:00 - The Trojan horse trap: content-first always 02:30 - Where to find guests: start with your network 04:00 - Mining your CRM for lapsed prospects 05:30 - Using LinkedIn, Apollo, and Clay for targeting 07:00 - Sleeper channels: Slack communities and speaker lists 09:00 - The two-message outreach sequence 11:30 - Message one: gauge interest only 12:30 - Message two: personalise and reinforce value 14:00 - How to get 60-70% response rates Connect with Jason Bradwell on LinkedIn Check out several tools in building guest lists: HubSpot CRM Clay Apollo Explore B2B Better website and the Pipe Dream podcast

I sit down with Furqan Rydhan, a founding team member of Applovin and cofounder Founders Inc, as he walks me through Nebula, a Slack-like workspace where every channel holds an agent that can execute real work across the tools teams already use. We watch Nebula create and edit a Google Slides deck end-to-end, including generating an image and handling failures by retrying until it lands. Furqan shows how Nebula turns one-off work into repeatable “recipes” with scheduled triggers, like adding slides daily or publishing blog posts multiple times per day. We also talk about what “business-in-a-box” looks like in the AI era; where direction, taste, and quality loops become the edge as automation gets widely available. Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 01:51 –Building useful agents for real work 03:34 – Nebula: a Slack-like agent workspace 05:04 – Demo: Nebula creating a Deck with Google Slides 13:25 – The “business in a box” content dream (newsletters, affiliates, ads) 14:39 – Demo: Automate Blog Posting 15:52 – What stays valuable when everyone automates 21:23 – Agent workforce and Building quality loops 25:38 – Services and agencies: delivering work with fewer humans 28:53 – Final Thoughts Key Points I watch Nebula run like “cloud code for everything else,” automating real work across tools and workflows. Agents turn one-time actions into repeatable systems via triggers and schedules. The interface mirrors Slack because work already lives in channels, threads, and context. Quality becomes the differentiator: critics, scoring, and iteration loops upgrade outputs over time.

Traditional employee engagement is broken. Your remote workers aren't seeing celebrations, and generic recognition programs fall flat because everyone's motivated differently. Workplace culture specialists are seeing success with three core strategies: First, use digital platforms like Teams and Slack to make recognition consistent across locations. Second, gamify behaviors that matter—not just sales numbers, but collaboration, innovation, and effort. Third, personalize everything. Let people choose their preferred style of rewards and recognition. Sales teams especially need this. Commission-only motivation leads straight to burnout. Recognize the grind: most calls made, best customer relationships, skills improvement. Celebrate progress, not just closed deals. The leadership shift? Treat recognition as strategic retention, not a nice-to-have perk. Build simple, consistent habits first. Your retention rates will prove it's working. Alex Grande 

Last week, I covered the different generations in the workplace. On that episode, we talked about how the different communication channels that each generation prefers depends a lot on the technology that was trendy during their formative years.That's why Gen X team members want you to just pick up the phone and call them and why Millennials will text each other on Slack even though they are sitting in the same room.So if you haven't listened to last week's episode yet, and you want to have a little fun, that episode is really informative about how to communicate with people in other generations.This week, though, we've going to talk about miscommunication in the workplace. Specifically, I'm going to talk about how some of the communication habits that we've developed -- ones that are comfortable to us -- have a tendency to cause confusion in the workplace when we are talking to people in different generations.So, if you want to keep your workplace vibes immaculate and stop being a total NPC, stick around—this episode is gonna be elite, no cap. We're about to eat. Show Notes: Bridging The Invisible Communication Gap in the Workplace​(https://www.leadersinstitute.com/bridging-the-invisible-communication-gap-in-the-workplace/)

What actually happens when a company loses control of its own voice in a world full of channels, platforms, and constant noise? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Joshua Altman, founder of beltway.media, to unpack what corporate communication really means in 2026 and why it has quietly become one of the most misunderstood leadership functions inside modern organizations. Joshua describes his work as a fractional chief communications officer, a role that sits above individual campaigns, tools, or channels and focuses instead on perception, trust, and consistency across everything a company says and does. Our conversation starts by challenging the assumption that communication is something you "turn on" when a product launches or a crisis hits. Joshua explains why corporate communication is not project-based and not owned by marketing alone. It touches internal updates, investor messaging, brand signals, packaging, email, social platforms, and even the tools teams choose to use every day. If it communicates with internal or external audiences and shapes how the company is perceived, it belongs in the communications function. When that function is missing or fragmented, confusion and noise tend to fill the gap. We also explored why communication has arguably become harder, not easier, despite the explosion of collaboration tools. Email was meant to simplify work, then Slack was meant to replace email, and now AI assistants are transcribing every meeting and surfacing more content than anyone can realistically process. Joshua makes a strong case for simplicity, clarity, and focus, arguing that organizations need to pick channels intentionally and use them well rather than spreading messages everywhere and hoping something lands. Technology naturally plays a big role in the discussion. From the shift away from tape-based media and physical workflows to the accessibility of live global collaboration and affordable computing power, Joshua reflects on how dramatically the workplace has changed since he started his career in video news production. He also shares a grounded view on AI, where it adds real value in speeding up research and reducing busywork, and where human judgment and storytelling still matter most. Toward the end of the conversation, we get into ROI, a question every leader eventually asks. Joshua offers a practical way to think about it, starting with the simple fact that founders, operators, and technical leaders get time back when they no longer have to manage communications themselves. From there, alignment, clarity, and consistency compound over time, even if the impact is not always visible in a single metric. As organizations look ahead and try to make sense of AI, platform shifts, and ever-shorter attention spans, are we investing enough thought into how our companies actually communicate, or are we still mistaking volume for clarity?

In this episode, Ally and I break down the marketing and brand lessons hidden inside Disneyland Handcrafted, the new documentary directed by Leslie Iwerks that captures the extraordinary effort, craftsmanship, and storytelling behind the creation of Disneyland. Using never-before-seen footage and audio, the film elevates the often unnamed people who brought Walt Disney's impossible idea to life — and offers a masterclass in legacy brand storytelling. Whether you're a Disney fan or not, this conversation explores why the best brands are built on emotional resonance, attention to detail, and stories that actually need to be told — and how marketers today can apply those lessons to content, customer experience, and the products they're building.Key Takeaways:// Every brand is built on story — but not every story has been told yet: The most compelling marketing often comes from uncovering overlooked perspectives: your team, your customers, or the behind-the-scenes work that rarely gets credit.// Behind-the-scenes content builds trust, not just engagement: Showing the process — the challenges, pivots, and craftsmanship — creates authenticity and emotional connection far more than polished outputs alone.// Attention to detail isn't optional — it is the brand: From product design to social media responses, every interaction teaches your audience what to expect from you.// Happiness is future-proof: Brands that create moments of joy, escape, or ease — even through content — build lasting relevance in uncertain times.// Great marketing is hospitality: How you treat your audience, respond to feedback, and show up consistently matters just as much as the message itself.// Legacy brands last because they invest in craft, not shortcuts: Long-term trust is built through care, patience, and respect for the people behind the work — not trend-chasing.Connect with Cassie: LinkedInConnect with Ally: LinkedIn____Join the MHH Collective!

Raised in a hardworking, Catholic family that seemed picture-perfect from the outside, Andrew Quebbemann learned early on the value of self-reliance and doing things for yourself. But it was during a pivotal moment at age sixteen—choosing not to get confirmed into the church—that he first exercised the courage to honor his own convictions over societal or familial expectations. That decision, viewed as rebellious by his parents, was also his first bold step toward living authentically and questioning what really worked for him, rather than simply following the script laid out for him.This early demonstration of independent thinking set the stage for a pattern that has defined Andrew's adult life. Whether leaving corporate America after looking around and finding no one he wanted to emulate or choosing to go plant-based overnight simply because it felt right for his body, Andrew developed what he calls psychological agility—the capacity to make swift decisions and take action when something no longer serves him.However, this same strength became a source of deep conflict within his family, where relationships had always been transactional and understanding seemed impossible to achieve. After years of trying to navigate increasingly difficult family dynamics that affected both him and his wife, Andrew made the painful decision to request a three-month break from his parents to reevaluate their relationship as adults. Their response was a brutal phone call filled with insults, which marked the beginning of a three-year estrangement that continues today, despite Andrew's willingness to engage in family therapy.The loss of his parents while they're still alive has required Andrew to mourn a relationship he thought he had. He candidly shares how stepping away from toxic dynamics allowed him to embrace self-care, protect his marriage, and redefine how he wants to show up in the world.Through therapy and a daily meditation practice inspired by Indian mystic Sadhguru, Andrew has learned to find peace within himself rather than seeking validation from those who may never be capable of providing it. His story illustrates the heartbreaking reality that sometimes loving someone means accepting that a healthy relationship with them may not be possible, and making decisions that honor your well-being is necessary for survival.Hype Song:Andrew's hype song is One Step Closer by Linkin ParkResources: Andrew's Website: https://goldbookfinancial.com/our-team/andrew-quebbemann/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-quebbemann/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewquebbemann/ Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit.

Was Steven Gerrard the greatest player never to win the Premier League? Did loyalty to Liverpool ultimately limit his legacy, or define it? And when it comes to England's golden generation, who truly stands above the rest: Gerrard, Lampard or Scholes? Gary, Micah and Alan discuss the remarkable career of Liverpool royalty Steven Gerrard. They revisit the highest of highs, lifting the Champions League in Istanbul, and the most painful of lows: the infamous slip that shattered title dreams.

#334: The debate over whether AI saves developers time misses a fundamental truth: coding was never the hardest part of software development. Writing code is mechanical work - the real challenges have always been understanding problems, designing solutions, communicating with stakeholders, and navigating organizational complexity. AI is now forcing a reckoning with this reality, pushing developers at every level to reconsider what skills actually matter. The traditional separation between architects who design and developers who implement is breaking down. AI enables a return to something like pair programming, where the person thinking through problems can now work alongside a fast executor without the old bottleneck of slow human typing. This shift means developers need stronger communication skills - the ability to explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders and translate business requirements into technical direction. For juniors, the opportunity is unprecedented: you can upskill faster than ever in the history of software, but only if you balance building things with actually understanding how they work. Darin and Viktor explore what this means for developers at every career stage, from juniors who should focus on fundamentals and end-to-end understanding, to seniors who are becoming more like editors and supervisors of AI-generated work. The developers who will thrive are those who combine real experience with a willingness to embrace change - and that combination has always been the winning formula.   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/

Real Madrid returned to winning ways at the weekend when they beat Levante 2-0 but the Bernabeu crowd singled out Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde for boos and whistles as they continued to express their displeasure at Xabi Alonso's sacking. Gary And Alex react to the scenes in Madrid and the challenges facing new manager Alvaro Arbeloa. Barcelona's nine-game winning streak came to an end with defeat at Real Sociedad in an incident-packed game featuring disallowed goals, overturned penalties, and a brilliant performance from La Real's goalkeeper. This result means Barca are only one point ahead of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, but there was some positive news for Marcus Rashford as he got himself on the scoresheet. Finally, we look at Villarreal's fading hopes of muscling their way into the title race after defeat at an improving Real Betis and there's a look at Atletico Madrid's Alexander Sorloth proving some of his doubters wrong with a superb winning goal against Alaves.

What next for Crystal Palace after Oliver Glasner announces he's leaving at the end of end of the season and captain Marc Guéhi leaves for Man City? Gary, Alan and Micah also discuss Liverpool's 12-game unbeaten run and debate whether it's one of the most misleading unbeaten runs in Premier League history, as rumblings of discontent grow on Merseyside.
