Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.usAI's 'Her' Moment: Revisiting the Film in 2025Spike Jonze's Her (2013) hits different in 2025. Back then, the idea of falling for your OS felt like sci-fi. Now, with AI companions and voice assistants becoming increasingly human-like, the film feels eerily prescient. As AI blurs the lines between tool and partner, Her serves as a poignant reflection on our evolving relationship with technology. AI Is Already EverywhereAt TED 2025 in Vancouver, AI's influence stretched beyond tech, touching art, parenting, and poetry. Anthropologist Sarah Hrdy pondered AI's role in child-rearing, while poet Salome Agbaroji critiqued systems of power, reminding AI it's not the first "artificial system" we've labeled intelligent. The consensus? AI's impact is vast and multifaceted.AI-Generated Résumés: Red Flags or Smart Moves?AI-crafted résumés are flooding recruiters' inboxes, sparking debates on authenticity. While some hiring managers view them as impersonal, others see them as a savvy use of technology. The key? Personalize and proofread. An AI-assisted résumé can showcase efficiency, but only if it reflects genuine experience and attention to detail. AI Will Take Your Job — CEOs Say Deal with ItCEOs are blunt: AI isn't just coming for your job—it's already here. Shopify's Tobi Lütke mandates employees prove tasks can't be done by AI before hiring. Fiverr's Micha Kauffman warns even his role isn't safe. The message? Upskill or risk obsolescence. Adaptability and AI fluency are the new workplace currencies.Why CEOs Should Think Twice Before Using AI to Write MessagesAI-generated messages might save time, but they can come off as cold and generic—especially when leaders need to show empathy. Harvard Business Review warns that while AI is fine for formal stuff like shareholder updates, it flops at human connection. Bottom line: if you're using AI to write to your team, be transparent and keep it real.Stanford's AI Report: Big Gains, Bigger QuestionsStanford's latest AI Index report reveals that while AI models are smashing benchmarks, the real-world benefits remain elusive. The U.S. leads in model development, but China is catching up fast. Public sentiment is mixed: 60% think AI will change their jobs, but only 36% fear replacement. Meanwhile, emissions from AI training are soaring, raising sustainability concerns. AI Is Powering Up Nuclear Reactors for the Data Center EraAs AI-driven data centers demand more electricity, nuclear power is making a comeback. Argonne National Lab's PRO-AID tool uses generative AI to monitor reactor conditions and assist operators. While legacy plants face upgrade challenges, startups like TerraPower and Oklo are integrating AI from the ground up to design next-gen reactors.

Why did we create another business event? Not all business events are created equal. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what it takes to build something ambitious, sharing the real behind-the-scenes including funding, structure and mistakes. Many conferences feel transactional, repetitive, and uninspired, the same speakers, the same panels, the same meh networking. Meanwhile, small business is at a crossroads—many owners are restructuring, rebranding, and trying to stay relevant, all while navigating the isolation of doing it alone. It's time to change that. We need more than just another conference—we need a space to come together, connect, and create real impact as a community.Ripple Festival is here to shake things up. It's a festival, not just a business event. A place where small business, music, and culture collide, because they're not separate, they fuel each other.If you're tired of the echo chamber and ready for something bold, immersive, and actually useful, this episode (and festival) is for you.

What if surviving economic uncertainty isn't about drastic strategy changes, but about sequencing your moves wisely? In this episode of Sequence Over Strategy, Michelle Warner breaks down how consumers react in tough times—whether they slam on the brakes, stay cautiously optimistic, or continue spending.At the same time, products fall into essentials, treats, postponables, or expendables, shaping how people prioritize their purchases. The real win? Instead of panicking, businesses should focus on sequence over strategy—identifying where their ideal customers fall and positioning their offer as an essential or a smart investment.Check out the full episode at TheMichelleWarner.com

Send us a textMortgage rates have fallen to 6.35%, down from over 7% last fall, and homebuyers are responding. Purchase applications are up for the fourth consecutive week, and property touring activity has surged 14% from last month. This renewed interest suggests a market beginning to thaw, potentially creating a window of opportunity for prepared buyers in early 2025.The current landscape offers a strategic advantage for buyers - prices have dipped 2.5% year-over-year to a median of $367,500, and competition remains softer compared to previous years. The "buy now, refinance later" approach could be particularly advantageous, allowing buyers to secure property at today's more negotiable prices with the option to refinance when rates potentially decline further. As summer approaches, market activity is expected to accelerate significantly, potentially driving prices higher once again.A concerning countertrend demands attention: mortgage delinquencies in government-backed loans have surpassed pre-pandemic levels. FHA loan delinquencies have risen to 11.03% and VA delinquencies to 4.7%, while conventional loans remain stable at 2.62%. This widening gap highlights growing financial stress among lower-income Americans and raises critical questions about sustainable homeownership accessibility. For investors and property managers, this trend could impact tenant stability and warrants close monitoring in the months ahead.Stay ahead of these shifting market dynamics and learn how they could impact your next real estate move.

On this episode of the Better Presentations More Sales podcast I'm talking to sales force retention and development expert and speaker Barbara Spector about avoiding show up and throw up when sales presenting.Barbara is the founder of Smart Moves and a member of the National Speakers AssociationWe talk about why if salespeople simply Show up and Throw up when sales presenting they make it so hard for themselves when it comes to winning a sale for either a product or service.Barbara's sales training is based on a six-month blended learning program that aims to change the mindset of those who take part.There is a focus on body language and facial expression but one of the keys to sales success is to ask compelling questions and in so doing being curious.This will give the buyer an opportunity to share information in terms of the answers to the questions that given the right salesperson mindset will create sales opportunities.And that is why if you simply Show up and Throw up you will find it hard to engage your audience whether that's on a one-to-one or one to many basis.When it comes to speaking at an event, which according to Barbara is one of the best, if not the best, ways of attracting sales, Barbara suggests that you take time either the evening before or in the run-up to your speaking presentation to talk to the audience and the stakeholders and then use what you have heard from them as the first couple of minutes of your speaking presentation.That technique will help you engage your audience because you may well name check some of them and it will enable you to have a confident startYou can find Barbara at VIPchatwithBarb.comBarbara's two top tips for listeners to implement straightaway are:Make sure you have that connection with your audience before your presentation or speaking opportunityAnd think when you are having that sales conversation curiosity, curiosity, curiosity If you don't like the idea of learning how to transform your business presentations in a group environment then take Trevor's online course Transform your Business Presentations and learn at your own pace.

There's this narrative out there that to be seen as successful in the online entrepreneurial space, you have to be completely all in and totally financially reliant on your business. Actions like getting a part-time job, putting some expenses on a credit card, and lowering your cost of living are  perceived as failures (or at least we might think they are). In this episode, I'm cutting the BS. We're talking about why these and many other moves not only should not be so taboo, but also how they may actually be smart business decisions at any level of business. I'm sharing my own experiences, conversations happening behind-the-scenes with my peers & clients, and encouragement for you to make the decision that's best for you and your business without fear of judgment.   In this episode, we cover… Why getting a part-time job might actually be a power move How (strategically) putting expenses on a credit card or investing in your environment can help your business grow Taking shortcuts as a way to get where you want to go with less time and energy Why income dips and lowering your cost of living are nothing to be ashamed of The power of community to share about the hard parts of entrepreneurship The need for transparent conversations like this to be happening in our space   Quotes "The investments come first. The ROI literally almost never comes first. And the sooner that you can wrap your head around that, the faster that you'll be able to make smart investments."   "If you can get used to the end goal being somewhat of a question mark, and not have to need so much security of where you're going and exactly how it's going to look like - That's where the magic happens."   "However you pay your bills and make it work - good for f*cking you. Because a lot of people couldn't figure it out and do it."   Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel   Other Links Mentioned Laptop Lifestyle Bootcamp

Barbara Spector is a nationally recognized thought leader who helps optimize sales force development strategies for executives at leading brands throughout the country. She specializes in "inside-out ways of thinking" that move her audiences to drive growth in their organization.In our discussion, Barbara expresses her opposition to the downsizing of sales teams and instead underscores the indispensable role they play as an organization's revenue-generating core. She believes it's imperative to preserve their resilience, particularly during periods of uncertainty. She advocates for a retrenchment strategy that doesn't focus solely on revenue, but rather weighs individual performance metrics. By leveraging thorough evaluation tools, businesses can spot salespersons with considerable potential. To benefit from that and more that Barbara had to share, tune in to the episode.Quotes“A lot of salespeople would rather be liked than close business” - Barbara Spector“Having the need to be approved of gets in the way of salespeople all the time” - Barbara Spector“It's really important for sales leaders to understand what the hidden mindsets are of their salespeople” - Barbara Spector“You can't fix problems that you can't measure” - Barbara SpectorResources Mentioned:9 MINDSETS that can either be an asset or a liability to your sales growth and 4 TIPS to overcome any mindset weakness in your teamLearn More About Barbara Spector in the Links Below:LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/barbaraspectorTwitter - https://twitter.com/barbaraspectorWebsite - https://www.smartmovesinc.comConnect with Wesleyne:Wesleyne's Website - https://transformedsales.com/Wesleyne on LinkedIn -...

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the CEO & President of SmartMoves, Barbara Spector. Barbara Spector, Founder and CEO of Smart Moves, provides astute insights on the dynamics of sales teams and business decision-making. A strong advocate against laying off salespeople, she emphasizes that sales teams form the revenue backbone of any organization, and maintaining their strength, especially amidst uncertain times, is vital. According to Barbara, an organization's cutback approach should be something other than revenue-centric but focus on individual performance metrics. By using comprehensive assessment tools, companies can identify high-potential salespeople who might not necessarily be the top performers but could be valuable assets in the long term. Barbara also brings attention to the shift in sales paradigms. The role of a salesperson has transformed from just being a product promoter to a value provider who creates urgency. This involves building strong relationships with potential clients, connecting emotionally, and functioning more as consultants than conventional salespeople.About Barbara Spector:Barbara Spector is the author of "How to Hire a Rock Star Salesperson: Overcome the 8 Obstacles to Hiring Great Sales People."
