What does the future of marketing look like when every employee has AI agents as teammates? In this episode, Daniel and Slack CMO Ryan Gavin break down how AI and agentic tools are transforming the way we work, collaborate, and create value.  From using Slack AI to instantly access a company's “long-term memory,” to deploying engineering agents that save millions of hours, Ryan shares practical examples of how AI-first thinking is reshaping marketing, sales, and productivity. And, why do marketers need a beginner's mindset in an AI-driven world? Things are changing, including how we rethink email and customer journeys with agents at the center. Ryan also explains the cultural shift needed for teams to embrace AI (moving from doers of tasks to orchestrators of work) and why he believes “marketing is the product, and the product is the marketing.” If you want to understand how AI will change your role, your team, and your company in the next five years, this episode is a roadmap for thriving in the era of agent-first marketing.

#172  - Stress, Self-Sabotage & the Real Reason You're Stuck—Let's Fix It. Interview with Sherry Lukey Ever feel like you've read all the self-help books, tried the green juices, whispered a few affirmations into your collagen water—and still hit the same wall? Yeah, same. That's where this episode comes in. This week, I'm joined by Sherry Lukey—globally recognized executive coach, speaker, and the kind of human who can help you stop sabotaging your own progress (even if you're high-functioning, high-achieving, and hiding your stress under 17 open browser tabs). We dive into her Tap Into Power™ Framework, the science-backed toolset that combines EFT (a.k.a. tapping) with real trauma reprocessing—no crystals or vague advice required. If you've ever: Felt like you're doing all the right things but still hitting a ceiling Wondered why you keep defaulting to self-sabotage just when things are going well Or just want to know why your nervous system freaks out when your Slack notification pings... ...this one's for you. Inside this episode: ✨ The truth about subconscious beliefs—and why most of yours were formed before age 7 ✨ What EFT (tapping) actually does to your brain and body ✨ How unresolved emotional patterns impact chronic illness, weight loss, career growth & relationships ✨ Why high-achievers tend to burn out—and what to do about it ✨ And how reprogramming your stress response might be the most anti-aging move you make all year Oh—and I also share the surprising moment I used tapping on my hyperactive Labrador. (Get this: it worked.) This one is equal parts science, mindset, and “Wait, how has no one told me this before?”

General News 00:57 Google Dodges A 2.5t Breakup We have breaking news – and it's good news for Google.  Google successfully avoided a potential $2.5 trillion breakup following antitrust proceedings, maintaining its current corporate structure despite regulatory pressure. The decision represents a significant outcome for Big Tech antitrust cases, potentially setting a precedent for how regulators approach market dominance issues in the cloud and technology sectors. Cloud customers and partners can expect business continuity with Google Cloud Platform services, avoiding potential disruptions that could have resulted from a corporate restructuring. The ruling may influence how other major cloud providers structure their businesses and approach regulatory compliance, particularly around bundling services and market competition. Enterprise customers relying on Google’s integrated ecosystem of cloud, advertising, and productivity tools can continue their current architectures without concerns about service separation. You just KNOW Microsoft is super mad about this.  AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Money  02:16

Great Question! 2025: Are Heaven and Hell Real? - Ken WetmoreDuring WholeLife Church's annual ‘Great Question!' Series, Lead Pastor Ken Wetmore is given a question submitted by one of our members with only a week to prepare his answer. This week's question launches the 2025 Great Question! series and does not disappoint:Great Question 1: The Old Testament doesn't say much about an afterlife beyond the grave. A vague mention of the dead coming back to life appears in Isaiah 26:19, and Daniel 12:2 speaks of resurrection and judgment. In contrast, the New Testament describes heaven and hell as real, specific places. Since most of the Old Testament lacks clear ideas of life after death—and since by the time the New Testament was written, Jewish thought had been influenced by other religions like Zoroastrianism and by Greek philosophy—should we understand heaven and hell as actual places, or as theological concepts shaped by these influences?Let us know your thoughts by reaching out and joining the conversation with your questions and comments using the information below:Text/Voicemail: 407-965-1607Email: podcast@wholelife.church#ThisIsWholeLife

#33: Architects often ask the wrong question:“How do I attract clients who actually value design?”In this episode, I sit down with Evelyn Lee, Founder of Practice of Architecture, to unpack why that question is flawed and what architects should be asking instead. We dive into how clients really make decisions, why design alone isn't the deciding factor, and how to position your firm to win the work you want.Evelyn shares her unique perspective from both sides of the table: as a licensed architect and as a client at Slack and Salesforce, where she wrote RFPs and selected design teams. Together, we break down what firms get wrong in interviews, how to reframe conversations with potential clients, and why emotional connection matters just as much as design credentials.Learn more about Practice of Architecture: https://practiceofarchitecture.com/ Connect with Evelyn on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evelynlee/ Work with Tyler: Send the word “Grow” to hello@growthitect.com ⸻What You'll Learn:(01:10) Why “attracting clients who value design” is the wrong question(03:45) Evelyn's path from architect to client-side decision-maker(05:21) How clients really evaluate architects (and what they prioritize over design)(07:26) The hidden value architects deliver beyond aesthetics(09:43) Why design quality often takes a back seat to outcomes and efficiency(13:13) The common mistake architects make in interviews(15:11) How language reveals whether you're truly client-focused(18:11) The simple research step that changes everything in client meetings(20:31) Tools you can use to better understand potential clients (LinkedIn, Pinterest, social media)(24:11) Why interviews should feel like conversations—not sales pitches(26:20) How emotional connection drives B2B and residential client decisions(27:30) Why passing the “design filter” isn't enough(30:19) How to know if you're attracting the right clients(31:45) Aligning your outreach with the clients and projects you want most(34:34) Reframing the question: from “design value” to “client outcomes”(35:59) Where to learn more from Evelyn⸻AISC RESOURCES→ Learn about sustainable steel: http://aisc.org/sustainable → Get your Sustainability Toolkit: http://aisc.org/buildgreen GROWTHITECT RESOURCES→ Apply to join The Studio - https://growthitect.com/studio → Join thousands of architects on the free Growthitect newsletter - https://growthitect.com/join STAY CONNECTED→ Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylersuomala/ → Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growthitect_com → Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@growthitect 

In this episode, Daniel and Thomas, co-founders of SaaSiest, share how a side project born out of curiosity became one of Europe's largest B2B SaaS communities and events. They reveal how nearly 200 podcast episodes, an engaged Slack community, and high-impact conferences in the Nordics and Benelux have shaped a platform dedicated to scaling European SaaS businesses.From their early days of interviewing peers to launching large-scale digital and in-person events, Daniel and Thomas discuss the unique dynamics of the European market, why US growth tactics don't always apply, and why founders should aim for global leadership rather than just regional dominance. They also break down what makes their events stand out — a mix of world-class “how-to” content, curated networking, and unforgettable social activities.Guest BioDaniel Nackovski and Thomas Sjöberg are the co-founders of SaaSiest, a pan-European B2B SaaS community known for its actionable content, curated networking, and high-energy events in the Nordics and Benelux. With over 20 years each in B2B SaaS, they bring deep experience from both the pre-cloud and cloud-native eras.What started as a podcast to satisfy their own curiosity about scaling SaaS in Europe has evolved into a thriving ecosystem, complete with a Slack community, top-tier guests, and live events attracting thousands of executives. Known for their “always in pairs” approach, Daniel and Thomas have become key voices in shaping the European SaaS conversation.TakeawaysConsistency is king — most podcasts die after 7 episodes; SaaSiest has nearly 200.European SaaS growth playbooks must adapt to fragmented markets, languages, and regulations.Rockstar status for young talent now lies in tech entrepreneurship, not corporate leadership.Community building works even without immediate two-way interaction — trust the long game.Actionable “how-to” content resonates more than big names or vague success stories.Successful events mix learning with social connection to build deeper relationships.Chapters 00:00 – When tech fails, roll with it 00:23 – Nearly 200 podcast episodes and counting 01:18 – Evergreen content and the hidden power of podcasting 02:00 – Podfade vs. staying consistent 02:41 – Why they always come in pairs 03:18 – The real (unplanned) origin story of SaaSiest 04:43 – Why US SaaS tactics don't always fit Europe 05:21 – From curiosity to community demand 06:03 – The European SaaS market's unique challenges 06:50 – Clubhouse, COVID, and explosive growth 07:25 – First in-person Nordic event — a risky bet that paid off 09:20 – Why a European SaaS focus was overdue 10:41 – Where European SaaS opportunities lie now 12:23 – Lessons from US ambition and risk tolerance 13:37 – Why Sweden produces so many successful startups 15:20 – Sweden's “third generation” of founders 16:42 – Recycling capital and knowledge fuels ecosystems 19:44 – Rockstar status in tech vs. corporate 20:08 – Inside the SaaSiest Amsterdam event 22:37 – Who attends and what they learn 24:34 – The “how-to” rule for every speaker 25:51 – Shortcuts for accelerating growth and efficiency 26:16 – Community, events, and taking time to disconnectLinkedInFollow Daniel Nackovski on LinkedIn Follow Thomas Sjöberg on LinkedIn Follow Justin Campbell on LinkedIn Saasiest Web site

The state of our nervous system impacts the predictions that we're making about the people and the world around us. And the work lies in identifying all of the ways in which we don't trust in ourselves or trust in life and then bring courageous curiosity towards those areas" — Jonny Miller "Any conflict is a potential edge to grow from. There's always going to be rupture in relationships. It's about how lovingly can you repair? How quickly can you go from conflict back to connection?" — Jonny Miller "We are in a world which worships self development. But there's a great distinction in self-development and self-unfoldment. When you're approaching inner work through the lens of self-developemnt, it often has this premise of part of me is broken and I need to fix it. Self-unfoldment, ot the other hand, starts with the premise of I am already whole and worthy of love." — Jonny Miller

Melanie spent decades reporting from some of the most dangerous and disaster-stricken parts of the world and what she came away with might surprise you.We explore how, in the midst of violence, tragedy and injustice, Melanie discovered the power of human connection, joy and purpose. She shares what she's learned about storytelling, resilience and the importance of grace, especially toward ourselves. We also talk about how imposter syndrome can show up even after massive success, and how owning your story can be the most courageous act of all.About My GuestMelanie Marshall is a speaker, coach and filmmaker who spent over 20 years as a BBC journalist in some of the world's most high-risk - and surprisingly inspiring places.Working under immense pressure, in wild uncertainty, for high stakes; she managed to come out the other side with award-winning results, and with her sanity and sense of humour (mostly) intact.Now from the TEDx stage to the boardroom, Melanie's new mission is to help people use her hard-won lessons to thrive in uncertainty by leaning into their 'accidental bravery' and optimism.~Connect with Melanie:Website: www.melaniemarshall.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melanie-marshall-237a641/~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

When the “real meeting” happens after the meeting… We've all been there (likely on all sides of this story): People nod along in the team meeting.No one pushes back.A decision gets made. Then, moments later, Slack lights up with doubts, hallway chats surface all the real concerns, and suddenly progress slows. This week's episode is about those team patterns we all know are hurting us and why still so many teams get stuck in them. Spoiler: it's not about bad people (yes, that co-worker is not actually the problem!). It's about predictable dysfunctions most teams naturally fall into. Ramona walks you through the 5 core dysfunctions that get in the way of a team's performance and shows you how to shift your team from artificial consensus and siloed execution to real trust, fierce conversations, shared accountability, and actual collective results. If your team is smart, capable, but somehow still… not quite at its best, then this is the episode you've been looking for. What we'll talk about:- Why “being nice” in meetings might be killing creativity and clarity- The true cost of avoiding conflict (and how to mine it productively)- How peer-to-peer accountability beats top-down micromanagement- What high-performing teams actually do differently and how to get started She also shares how the Five Behaviors® assessment and workshop help teams identify what's holding them back and provides a structured, practical path toward higher performance.

What if the key to unlocking the next wave of tech innovation lies in the hands of the entrepreneurs receiving the least funding? There's a fascinating paradox in today's tech landscape: women-led startups are 63% more likely to succeed and have higher chances of becoming unicorns, yet they're receiving less venture capital funding than ever before. This gap represents not just missed opportunities, but untapped potential that could reshape entire industries. In this inspiring conversation, tech entrepreneur and AI pioneer Susan Sly reveals the uncomfortable truths about Silicon Valley's old boys' club and shares her blueprint for change. From deploying AI computer vision at scale to building The Pause—a revolutionary menopause-focused platform—Susan breaks down exactly how women can stop waiting for permission and start reshaping the industry from within. “If you don't like the stats we're sharing, where did you go shopping for that outfit you're wearing? Who designed it? We need to get present to where we're spending our hard-earned dollars—from the apps we download to the brands we're wearing." — Susan Sly What You'll Learn in This Episode: What's really driving the decline in VC funding for women Simple ways to discover and support women-founded companies in your everyday purchases How perimenopause affects women leaders and why workplace support matters more than ever Practical strategies for breaking into male-dominated tech spaces without playing small Why AI governance desperately needs more women's voices and how to get involved The real reason most medicine is based on data from middle-aged white men and how AI can change this How to leverage crowdfunding platforms and angel investing to support female founders

Trust at Scale: Security and Governance for Open Source Models // MLOps Podcast #338 with Hudson Buzby, Solutions Architect at JFrog.Appreciate JFrog for their support in bringing this blog to life.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractFor better or for worse, machine learning has traditionally escaped the gaze of security and infrastructure teams, operating outside traditional DevOps practices and not always adhering to organizations development or security standards. With the introduction of open source catalogs like HuggingFace and Ollama, a new standard has been established for locating, identifying, and deploying machine learning and AI models. But with this new standard comes a plethora of security, governance, and legal challenges that organizations need to address before they can comfortably allow developers to freely build and deploy ML/AI applications. In this conversation will discuss ways that enterprise scale organizations are addressing these challenges to safely and securely build these development environments. // BioHudson Buzby is a solution engineer with an emphasis on MLOps, LLMOps, Big Data, and Distributed Systems, leveraging his expertise to help organizations optimize their machine learning operations and large language model deployments.

Episode 312: Going Big by Going Small: Hidden Gold for PR Pros Episode Summary In this episode of That Solo Life, hosts Karen Swim, APR and Michelle Kane delve into the untapped potential of three underutilized and niche social media platforms that PR professionals may be overlooking.

If you grew up far from the big-city career bubble or you are returning to work after a break, building a network can feel mysterious. In this conversation, Amy Blanthorn-Hazell shares how she went from an intern who knew almost no one in tech to a senior sales leader at Salesforce. Her story starts in a small village in the north of England and evolves into a career shaped by curiosity, initiative, and the right advocates. Amy explains the difference between short-term transactions and real relationships. She talks about giving value first, creating communities when none exist, and asking for advice in ways that make people want to say yes. You will hear how she used simple moves like thoughtful follow-ups, tailored compliments after talks, and one-to-one coffees to turn chance meetings into long-term sponsors. The episode leans into honest moments too. Amy shares what felt awkward early on, how she learned to balance I and we when talking about results, and why the best mentors sometimes start with a single session before committing to more. It is practical, kind, and refreshingly doable. Positioning Yourself For The Next Step Promotions are not made in the room. They are made in the conversations that happen when you are not there. Amy breaks down how to build advocates who will speak up for you when it counts, why timing matters, and how to prepare a clear, business-focused case that leaders can support. We get into the nuts and bolts of promotion readiness. Amy shows how to map your current skills against the next level, gather feedback from managers and peers, and use stretch projects to prove you can operate at a higher band without losing sight of your core results. She also calls out common red flags, like moving too fast before you have shown enough impact. There is guidance on interviews and panels too. From reaching out to interviewers ahead of time to sending an agenda and following up, Amy lays out the basics that so many people skip. The result is a calm, confident approach that helps decision makers see you in the role before the title changes. Practical Moves You Can Use This Week If you are new to networking, start with a clear goal. Amy shows how to target conversations based on what you want to learn, the teams you want to join, or the skills you want to grow. Then she models simple language that shares wins without bragging, invites collaboration, and highlights the people who helped you get there. If your workplace lacks community, create one. Amy describes how she launched a women's foundation group early in her career and why that decision still pays off years later. Small acts like hosting a learning session, sharing a playbook in Slack, or forwarding kind client feedback to your manager can quietly build your reputation. If you are planning to ask for a promotion, give yourself time. Build a short business case, link outcomes to company priorities, and gather examples that show consistent performance in your role plus stretch impact beyond it. Then book the meeting, share your thinking, and ask for clear guidance on what to demonstrate next.

On this episode of the Shift with Elena Agar Podcast, host Elena welcomes Catharine Montgomery, founder of Better Together Agency, for an unfiltered conversation about resilience, career pivots, and the ongoing challenges of building a purpose-driven business. Catharine opens up about her journey from growing up in Alabama, launching her career at large PR agencies, and pursuing her passion for social impact—all while navigating the harsh realities of workplace racism, toxic organizational cultures, and the unexpected pitfalls of working with investors.Catharine's story is one of grit and reinvention: after experiencing blatant racism at a so-called progressive agency and successfully negotiating a buyout, she found herself at another crossroads when her business partners became obstacles rather than allies. Through each challenge, Catharine leaned on community, mentorship, and her unwavering commitment to using communications for social good. Together, Elena and Catharine unpack lessons learned about recognizing toxic work environments, the importance of knowing your worth, and staying grounded when starting over—sometimes more than once.Tune in for candid reflections, practical insights for founders (especially those working with investors), and real talk about resilience, authenticity, and the power of building a business that stays true to its mission. Whether you're navigating your own career transitions or simply looking for inspiration, this episode will remind you that your story—and your impact—aren't defined by your setbacks, but by how you choose to rebuild and move forward.Time stamps:00:00 "Agency Career Journey Shift"05:26 Starting a Social Impact Agency09:23 "Quitting Better Together"12:17 Realizing Microaggressions and Racism13:30 HR Challenges in Addressing Racism17:40 Structural Racism Needs Addressing21:41 "Diversity Misunderstood in Slack"25:17 Investor Decisions and Due Diligence26:25 "Stay Involved in Business Finances"30:09 Building Awareness for Community Impact33:31 "Reflecting on Starting the Agency"36:18 Reflecting on Entrepreneurial Beginnings39:26 Embracing Change and AI GrowthConnect with Catharine on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cnmontgomery/Website: https://thebettertogetheragency.com/Follow Elena: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenaagaragimova/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elenaagaragimova/Website: https://elenaagar.com/Listen on:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shift-with-elena-agar/id1530850914Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5UKh6dWcuQwJlmAOqD8wijIf you like this video, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!

Product Managers spend their days drowning in docs, tickets, user feedback, and endless Slack threads. What if AI could cut through the noise, flag what's urgent, resolve the routine, and let you focus on strategy? On this week's Fireside Product Management, I sit down with former Google PM and Bain consultant Assaf Riefer to discuss the product he's building to do exactly that—an AI copilot for PMs. If you've ever wished you had an associate PM working 24/7 at your side, this one's for you.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Brad Crowell 0:48  Welcome Be It Pod squad. It is September 5th, Friday. It's Fuck Yeah Friday, and I'm, obviously, Brad here, stepping in for Lesley for the first part of this episode. She's gonna take over the second half of this episode here, where we're bringing your wins, and she's going to celebrate a win, but we're going to start today off a little bit differently with an affirmation, in a way that I think Lesley is going to get a kick out of. I hope you really enjoy it. So feel free to sing along. This is an encouraging, amazing song that I've often drawn inspiration from, and I think you're gonna love it. Brad Crowell 1:21  I've paid my dues time after time. I've done my sentence but committed no crime and bad mistakes I've made a few. I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through. And on and on and on. We are the champions, my friends, and we'll keep on fighting till the end, because we are the champions. We are the champions. No time for losers, because we are the champions of the world.Brad Crowell 2:24  You know it. You know it. You hear it in the background. You are singing that song, too. I love this song because it's very relatable. You know, even though you know it's Queen and they're like epic rock stars, but listening to those lyrics, listening to that song, is something that I've always found relatable. You know, I've paid my dues time after time. I've done my sentence, but I committed no crime, right? How often do we feel like that, where we are feeling like I'm doing everything right, and yet things still aren't going my way? And maybe along the way, you know, and bad mistakes I've made a few. Maybe along the way we've made some bad mistakes. I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through, right. And as a small business owners, you might feel like that too, but you will come through this. And I wanted to celebrate that chorus with you. We are the champions, my friends. You know we're gonna keep fighting. And that's, that's the thing, when you're, when you are, doesn't even have to be just in business, but in life, you know, one foot in front of the other, y'all. Keep on going. Consistency, persistency. You got this. You can do this. We are the champions, and we'll we're the champions of the world. So really excited to have you joining us this week for this Fuck Yeah Friday. I'm gonna pass the torch here on to Lesley to celebrate a few of your wins, and then hopefully, you know, you're gonna take encouragement and send in your own win to us as well so we can celebrate you on an upcoming Fuck Yeah Friday. So thanks for being here today. Lesley Logan 4:00  All right, now, for the next part of the episode where I share a win of yours. So, win of yours. We had a couple wins from Melissa Capitano, so we'll go through these. Stood up for myself when a client tried to bully me, she didn't think I should charge her for a late cancel because she had been a client since the founding owner, and she was good friends with her. She also told me that she never got any warm and fuzzy feelings from me and that I wasn't friendly towards her. I stood my ground. She told me she's going to pretend the conversation didn't happen, and proceeded to buy a 12 pack and book privates with one of my instructors. So I'm counting it as a win. So I just want to say it is interesting being a business owner, the requests that people ask or demand or think that they are worthy or entitled to, it really does show like, I don't know how this person would like live their life, but clearly there was some sort of luxury, or maybe their family was gifted things or given things based on a last name or whatever. But here's the deal, when you agree to a frequent or patronize an establishment, they have rules, and when you participate in that business, you are agreeing to participate with the rules. Now, if you don't like that, you don't have to patronize the establishment. That's why we live where we all have a place like there's more than one Pilates studio. There's more than one lunch place. There's more than one sandwich place. It's extremely rare in most of the world, where you listen to podcasts, that you are the only thing that exists, and even if you are, you still are worthy of having rules and boundaries for how people can participate with you. And the fact that, like, she's been a client with the original owner, that's cool and that she didn't get warm and fuzzy feelings for you, that's not your fault, right? You weren't creating a best friend environment. You were creating a business that can make people safe and have a place where they can call home for their Pilates practice for years and years to come. So, way to go, Melissa, way to stand for yourself. And I think it's hilarious. It's just like, okay, well, this conversation didn't happen. Like, interesting. Sometimes we have to be a mirror for people. Okay, you have another win. So my win. I'm on the road now, on our way to a family reunion. I needed this break. I've been teaching 35 to 45 hours a week for the last three months. I seriously thought about just staying home and letting my family go, but I remembered what Ella said about you're not helping anyone if you burn yourself out. So anyway, we are on the way stop to pick up lunch, taking Brad and Lesley with me on the road. She's wearing a shirt with Brad and I on it, and I love that so much. And it's really, thank you Melissa for making this a win so we could talk about this as a group. Seriously, you're a zero help to anyone burnt out. You are so not helpful to anyone. One of my friends from a group that I was in. I, by the time I'm recording this, I'm seeing that her husband's in the hospital, and like her, she and her kids, like, flew immediately to go see him. He was in a different state than where they live, and after about 36 hours, she flew the kids back home, because taking care of the kids and him and herself is, like, not an option, right? And the hospital's not the place where they can feel stress free and like, where little children can like, relax either. So she did something for herself so she doesn't burn out, right? So everyone can be protected. There's no right answers in those situations. You might have done something differently, but the point I'm sharing with that story is, Melissa's story, with you is there's always a reason to not go on the trip. There's always a reason to not start the thing. There's always a reason to not take the day off or not go out. And if what the thing that you are saying you don't want to do is used to fill your cup and you're just tired, go do it, because it's going to fill your cup. You're not going to fill your cup at home. You're going to find things to do at home. You're not going to relax. You're not going to rest when you are working that hard in your business, and there are seasons for that you must make sure you are taking care of yourself. So, Melissa, kudos to you. Hats off to you. And thank you for sharing this win so that other people can be inspired that that that is something that they can do. So if you are feeling like close to burnout now, my loves like, what is the thing that you are thinking you shouldn't do? Right? Are you already making excuses? Like, oh, you know that that October trip I shouldn't do. I had somebody reach out about the Cambodia retreat, and they're like, I really want to go. This is like, my dream retreat, but I just start a new job, like, five months before the retreat. Okay, totally understand not every job is reasonable. Maybe they don't have vacation time built up by five months. But also, like you're not gonna lose your job by saying, hey, by the way, in October, I need one week off to take care of myself. If you show your work that you are a better employee after resting, they're going to let you do that. Most places do. Now, you work for an asshole. I can't help you there. Lesley Logan 8:40  All right, a win of ours. So we actually released an app this summer, guys, we did it. Our team did it. It hit the deadlines that we'd set for ourselves. It works. People are using it. They love it. So we've always had, we've already had an app for OPC. People could take classes. You don't have to be a member to use the app, like you can listen to podcast on it. There's like, free tutorials you can watch on it. There's some free challenges. But if you're a member, you can be in the community. You can chat with us, you can take your classes on the app. Makes it really fun to do is take it yourself wherever your phone can go or your iPad can go. So we've been working on that for Profitable Pilates, and it's beautiful. It's really simple. It's really easy for our members to use. So, Agency members, instead of being in Slack now have one place to go to chat with the community, to share their wins, to have a moment to watch videos from me that are notes of inspiration, to see when the next office hours is, to book coaching calls, to watch courses all in one place. And for seven half years prior to this, they had to go to a website and to Slack and, you know, all this different stuff. And so we're, you know, we're so grateful that the way that technology has gone, that we have this opportunity to do this. And I'm really happy with the way the app is, way it looks, way people are using it. I'm just so proud. So this is one of those wins that months in the making and was a more of a team win than a me win. But you know, I am someone who often doesn't like change. I know it's kind of crazy. You think I love change the way I like preach like you should, like, just act like you're already the person you want to be. But like, I always worry about, like, oh my God, we have to transition people from one thing to the other thing. Are they going to do it? Will they come? Are we going to lose people? I don't want people to have a bad time. Like, there's a lot that can go wrong in a transition. And we, you know, it's hand holding everybody is not the easiest thing to do. Some people need it. And so I just am so grateful and so excited for what we've done. And now, y'all, if you want to coach with us, you get to use an app, and it's great. And of course, there's still Zoom calls and things like that. Anyways, really, really grateful for that, really, really proud of that huge win, and I'm just glad I get to celebrate that with you. Lesley Logan 10:53  Okay, your affirmation, another affirmation, but one that's a little easier. There is something in this world that only I can do, that is why I'm here. There is something in this world that only I can do, that is why I'm here. There's something in this world that only I can do, that is why I'm here. You know why I love this it's because I literally tell our aAgency members all of the time, you are the only person who can do what you do the way that you do it. Sometimes I have to say it slower for people to hear it. You are the only person who can do what you do the way that you do it. There are many people who went to the same training that I did in 2008 and are the same age and have the same experience and we teach differently. There are people who stayed with Jay and Sandy and all these people, and we all teach Pilates in theory the same way, and yet they'll be different than me always, and I'll be different than them. So you are the only person who do what you do the way that you do it. You're it. So never play small. Doesn't help anyone. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 11:58  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Gab Ferree led global communications at Slack, Bumble, and OneTrust, reaching every traditional summit in our profession. Then she walked away to build Off The Record, where communications professionals can finally admit they don't have all the answers. Even the VPs who are supposed to. In this conversation, we explore why 100% of comms professionals are using AI but nobody's talking about it, why reporting to a CMO might be better than reporting to the CEO, and how to stop asking for a seat at the table and start earning it through business outcomes. What We Get Into Redefining Success in Communications: Why Gab left high-profile roles to create a support system for other professionals The Marketing-Communications Relationship: How reporting to a CMO can actually benefit communications teams AI as a Career Amplifier: Why AI won't replace communicators, but will make them more valuable The Future of Work Post-AI: Examining productivity gains and their implications for work-life balance Building a Supportive Community: How Off the Record is changing the game for communications professionals seeking growth and connection Notable Quotes "I don't care what my title is and I don't care what my reporting line is. I am the Chief Communications Officer. When I am the head of comms and I do have a seat at the table, I don't have to be reporting into the CEO." - Gab Ferree [10:08 → 10:22] "But guess what? Everyone just got promoted. Everyone just got themselves a new specialist underneath them named Claude, who produces everything for you as a first draft. And it may be good, it may be great. Good job. You prompted the model, right? You've trained it right?" - Gab Ferree [40:47 → 41:04] "I do wonder for like outside of that, are people are going to start talking about like our executives going to talk about like that they have more time, that they get to spend more time with their kids. Maybe they're not burning out. Maybe they don't need to step away to spend more time with their family. Maybe our careers can be more like a marathon and less like a sprint." - Gab Ferree [52:29 → 52:57] About the Guest Gab Ferree is the founder of Off The Record, a private membership community for communications professionals. Previously, she served as VP of Global Communications at OneTrust (scaling from startup to $5.1B valuation), led comms at Bumble through major brand transformation, and guided Slack's communications during its Salesforce integration. She's known for her pragmatic approach to building comms programs that align with business goals and her belief that vulnerability and authority can coexist in leadership.
