The shift from traditional television to connected TV has accelerated rapidly, requiring publishers to offer both massive culture-shifting scale and ultra-precise targeting capabilities. In this deep dive, Netflix Advertising VP Nicolle Pangis pulls back the curtain on how the platform built an independent, proprietary ad server to give global brands the exact mix of automated programmatic buying and high-impact live events they need to drive measurable ROI. Key Highlights

Most contractors are using AI to save time. John Wilson and Service Scalers CEO Sam Preston argue the real opportunity is much bigger: using AI to replace software, automate workflows, and build custom tools that drive growth.In this episode, John and Sam break down how home service companies are using "vibe coding" to build websites, internal software, dashboards, and automation systems without hiring developers. They share practical ways contractors can reduce costs, improve operations, and create competitive advantages using AI.What You'll Learn:→ What vibe coding is and why contractors are embracing it→ How to replace expensive software with custom AI-built tools→ The framework for identifying automation opportunities in your business→ Why AI should automate workflows, not just assist employees→ How AI can improve margins, reduce overhead, and accelerate growth————————————————

Here's a confession: I've bought at least a handful of softwares in my life that I've literally never logged into. Not once.So when it came time to launch wAIv to the public, every coaching instinct in my body refused the traditional software playbook. Open the doors, run ads, free trial, hope they convert? Absolutely not. I've watched too many entrepreneurs buy a thing that just sits there, and Andrew and I did not want to build a company on people not using the thing.Instead, we built something I'm calling the most coach-brained software launch you've ever seen: Bot Squad Bootcamp. This episode is the full tour.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the traditional software launch playbook was a hard no for us (and what we designed instead)What a bot squad actually is, and why your bots get noticeably smarter the moment they share contextThe duct tape problem: why your clients shouldn't be the connective tissue between your AI toolsThe real risk of housing your frameworks and IP on platforms you don't controlThe week-by-week build path inside Bot Squad Bootcamp, from gathering your materials to graduating with a live, sellable squadExactly who this is for, who it's not for and a transparent breakdown of what wAIv costs after your first three months>>Resources MentionedBot Squad Bootcamp (doors close June 28, kickoff July 6): https://graviastudio.com/bootcampBook a 20-minute fit call with KellyLast week's episode with Dr. Michelle MazurQuestions?

In this episode, Jason explains why needing a faster construction software update often points to a deeper flow problem. While modern tools like inTakt can provide quick data and tracking, the real issue is preventing delays and impacts upstream rather than reacting after the fact. What you'll learn in this episode: Why faster software updates do not solve systemic flow issues. How trade flow is the most critical asset on a construction project. The importance of roadblock removal, pre-con meetings, and buffers. Why upstream prevention beats downstream reaction every time. How to implement a truly lean production system. Is your team relying on software to manage delays, or are you eliminating the waste at the source to protect trade flow?   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.

What happens when we tell clients not to choose a pet sitter based solely on price, but then make every business decision based on cost ourselves? In this episode, we explore the disconnect between the advice we give clients and the choices we make as business owners. We discuss the hidden costs of free software, delayed hiring, skipped education, and avoiding professional help. We share the investments that transformed our own business, from software and certifications to coaching and conferences. We also examine the difference between being frugal and being cheap, and why strategic investments often create the biggest returns. Main topics: Hidden costs of cheap decisions Software and systems investments Outsourcing and hiring support Education coaching and growth Frugal versus cheap mindset Main takeaway: "If you truly believe that your clients get what they pay for, then you have to accept that your business gets what you pay for too." We're quick to explain why professional care costs more than the cheapest option. We talk about training, insurance, reliability, backup plans, and professionalism. But are we holding ourselves to that same standard? Too often we delay hiring help, avoid upgrading software, skip education, or put off investments that could make our businesses stronger because we're focused only on the price tag. The real question isn't "How much does it cost?" It's "What is it costing me not to do it?" Sometimes the most expensive decision is refusing to invest in the tools, systems, and expertise that could move your business forward. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

Martin Kleppmann, an associate professor at Cambridge and author of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, discusses the evolution of data systems over the last decade, mainly the shift from monolithic databases to modular building blocks. Kleppmann underlines the importance of moving from cloud-centric data storage systems to decentralised data storage similar to Bluesky's AT protocol. He also dives into explaining the local-first movement and the importance of users owning their data.

Diese Muster wirken wie Self-Promotion oder AI-Washing, nicht wie faktenbasierte Argumente. Hypothese: Solche Templates könnten sich künftig weiter verbreiten und Narrative rund um AI stärker dominieren.AI-Kosten im Blick behaltenAus dem Transkript geht hervor, dass Unternehmen AI-Kosten stark belasten: Uber meldet Budgets, die für agentic und autonome AI verbrannt wurden; Berichte über Kosten-Rationierung bei großen Firmen kursieren auch im Umfeld. Zugleich fallen Tokenpreise, doch die Gesamtkosten steigen durch komplexe Workflows und viele Sub-Agents. Implikation für Unternehmen: Einführung einer Kosten-Governance, klare Budgetgrenzen und eine kohärente Planungslogik statt unkontrollierter Skalierung.80/20-Compliance-SoftwareFirewall-Idee: 80 Prozent der Standards lassen sich als Software-Selbstprüfung abdecken, 20 Prozent erfordern weiterhin Prüfer vor Ort. Begründung ist der akute Personalmangel bei Behörden, wodurch eine Software-basierten Erstprüfung sinnvoll wäre. Umsetzung braucht Zertifizierung der Software und Klärung mit Versicherungen; der Ansatz zielt darauf, Prozesse zu beschleunigen und Abdeckung zu erhöhen.Fokus statt MultitaskEine klare Denkregel aus dem Gespräch lautet: Fang mit einer Sache an und verbessere diese zuerst, statt drei neue Dinge gleichzeitig anzugehen. Dadurch reduziert sich Komplexität und das Risiko eines overengineered Modells. Implikation für Unternehmen/Karriere: Setze frühzeitig auf eine fokussierte Verbesserung, um schneller Validierung zu erreichen und Ressourcen sinnvoll zu nutzen.Multi-Model Orchestration als TrendEs wird ein Trend sichtbar, bei dem Modelle je nach Aufgabe gezielt ausgewählt werden: Perplexity Computer soll Aufgaben erledigen, indem es passende Modelle (z. B. Gemini, Claude) orchestriert. Apple nutzt Gemini intern, und unterschiedliche Modelle eignen sich für unterschiedliche Subtasks. Bedeutung: Solche Orchestrierung kann Kosten senken und Leistungsfähigkeit erhöhen; Unternehmen sollten über Multi-Model-Strategien nachdenken.KeywordsAI-KostenAI-EntlassungenApple GeminiSiriTokenpreiseAI-Kosten 2026 UnternehmenApple Gemini Siri Privatsphäre ForkPerplexity Computer AI OptimierungFirewall Brandschutz Software SchweizQuickfire OnlyFans Creator MonetisierungSubagents AI ArchitekturArbeitnehmerüberlassung Modernisierung HandwerkArbeitgebermarke Handwerk

„Technische Perfektion schafft den besten Klang, aber die innere Haltung prägt das Gespräch.“ In dieser Folge von Behind the C begrüßt Franz Kubbillum Dr. Eckart Pech, der im Vorstand der init AG die strategisch wichtigen Bereiche Gesundheit, Informationssicherheit und IT-Services leitet. Die init AG hat sich mit rund 1.500 Mitarbeitenden und 250 Millionen Euro Umsatz als führender Akteur für die Digitalisierung der öffentlichen Verwaltung etabliert. Im Gespräch räumt Eckart mit dem überholten Bild auf, IT sei lediglich ein unterstützendes Werkzeug. In der heutigen Wirtschaft ist Software das integrale Herzstück jedes erfolgreichen Geschäftsmodells. Er zeigt auf, wie wichtig Agilität und technologische Offenheit sind, um den tiefgreifenden Wandel im öffentlichen Sektor und im Gesundheitswesen aktiv zu gestalten. Eckart blickt auf eine außergewöhnliche internationale Karriere zurück: von den Anfängen in der Technologieberatung über eine sechsjährige Führungsrolle in den USA bis hin zu DAX-Vorstandspositionen bei O2 Telefónica und der Allianz. Er berichtet, wie ein abstraktes Karriereziel auf Metaebene mit taktischer Flexibilität harmoniert und warum ihn eine gesunde innere Unruhe immer wieder antreibt. Auch persönlich gibt er Einblicke in seine Routinen: Der passionierte Hobby-Triathlet erklärt, warum der tägliche Arbeitsweg auf dem Fahrrad für ihn mehr als nur Bewegung ist und wie bewusste Auszeiten im Sport oder mit der Familie ihm die nötige mentale Stärke schenken, um als Top-Manager langfristig resilient zu bleiben. Drei Fragen, die in dieser Folge besprochen werden: - Wie gelingt das Zusammenspiel aus langfristigen Karrierezielen und der nötigen Flexibilität, um disruptive Marktchancen im richtigen Moment zu ergreifen? - Warum ist das Erreichen einer echten Work-Life-Balance kein Widerspruch zu Spitzenleistungen im Management und wie setzt man sich dafür realistische Grenzen? - Welche Kernkompetenzen müssen zukünftige Führungskräfte mitbringen, um Organisationen durch die gewaltige Disruption von KI-Agenten und neuen Technologien zu steuern?

Welcome to episode #1040 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Long before artificial intelligence became the dominant business conversation, Sangeet Paul Choudary was helping leaders understand another profound shift in economic power: the rise of platforms. As the co-author of Platform Revolution, founder of Platform Thinking Labs, advisor to global corporations and governments, and a respected thinkers on digital business models, Sangeet has spent years studying how technology changes the sources of competitive advantage and reshapes entire industries. His latest book, Reshuffle - Who Wins When AI Restacks The Knowledge Economy, extends that work into the age of artificial intelligence, exploring what happens when the expertise, judgment and know-how that once lived inside individuals and organizations increasingly migrates into software systems. In this conversation, Sangeet explains why AI represents far more than a productivity upgrade. He argues that every major technological shift changes what is scarce, and when scarcity changes, value moves with it. Drawing on examples ranging from Kodak and Netflix to cloud computing, software platforms and global supply chains, he explores why some organizations adapt while others become trapped by the assumptions that made them successful in the first place. The discussion also examines the changing nature of economic power, the growing importance of digital sovereignty, the future of knowledge work, and the risks of assuming that today's business models will survive tomorrow's technological realities. Throughout the conversation, Sangeet offers a framework for understanding not just what AI can do, but how leaders can rethink their organizations, industries and careers when the foundations of value creation are being rewritten in real time.

You are not just a body. You are a self-healing, self-regulating biological masterpiece — the product ofthousands of years of refined evolutionary architecture. The question isn't whether your built-in design is extraordinary. The question is whether you are giving it the right software to run on. Dr. Adam Brockman takes you deep into the Fungal Frontier — exploring how Lion's Mane may rebuild aging neural pathways, how Cordyceps supports deep cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level, and how Turkey Tail is quietly redefining what intelligent immune function actually looks like. Plus — Dr. Brockman sits down with renowned clinical nutritionist Dr. Jim LaValle to explore the science behind the Kyolic Specialty Series Mushrooms+ line and why aged garlic extract combined with functional mushrooms may be one of the most compelling longevity protocols in natural medicine today. Ancient wisdom. Modern science. One extraordinary conversation.Special Guest: Dr. Jim LaValle, Clinical Pharmacist, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and Author

Vendor Lock-in, Sicherheitslücken, nicht erfüllte Qualitätsanforderungen oder die unvorhergesehenen Folgen neuer Technologien: Softwarearchitekt:innen treffen täglich Entscheidungen, die Risiken schaffen und gleichzeitig die Grundlage dafür legen, diese zu beherrschen. In dieser Episode spricht Gerrit Beine mit Anja Kammer darüber, warum Risikomanagement ein zentraler Bestandteil der Architekturarbeit sein sollte. Sie diskutieren, wie Risiken frühzeitig sichtbar werden, welche Rolle Stakeholder dabei spielen, warum viele Risikobewertungen in der Praxis zu kurz greifen und welche neuen Herausforderungen durch den Einsatz von KI entstehen.

Sam Altman and Dario Amodei both published essays this week on the future of AI and what we must do so everyone benefits. One of them is literally titled "Our Plan." The other one has an actual plan.Kwaku and I dig into it all on this week's FAFO Friday. Plus — and this story isn't getting enough attention — according to New Scientist, two years ago Ukraine used fully autonomous “Terminator” drones that killed everything they saw. No human in the loop. Dead Russian soldiers. But rest assured, according to the drone-maker cited, it was just a one-off “test.” But how long until this is standard practice? And do we want that future? So, yeah, maybe we should get planning… ---Support Future Around & Find Out:* Follow Dan on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dblums/* Get the free newsletter: https://www.futurearound.com* Become a paid subscriber and help future proof FAFO! https://www.futurearound.com/upgradeMusic by Jonathan Zalben

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST — Where do magazine designers go after all the magazines are gone? That's a question we've often pondered in recent years. Well, if you've been paying close attention, you'd probably guess, as it turns out, a lot of them go to Cupertino. And much of this migration can be traced to 2014, when today's guest, AIGA Medalist and Emmy award-winning creative director Arem Duplessis, left his storied job at The New York Times Magazine to go to work at Apple. You might be asking yourself, "Why would one of America's most high-profile magazine designers leave a coveted job at an iconic publication—one that brought him global recognition, countless awards, and deep creative satisfaction—for a famously secretive company known, well, for locking away its talent in a vault of non-disclosure agreements?" But the better question might be, "Why wouldn't he?" Duplessis is arguably one of the most influential creative directors of his time. His ten years of covers for The New York Times Magazine shaped its vision and identity. As creative director at GQ, he helped create the now-ubiquitous Gotham family of fonts. And he's blazed the trail for print designers in search of digital futures. While the departure of big-name magazine designers like Rem to Silicon Valley may strike fear in some, it reaffirms what many of us have long known: Despite years of slumping newsstand sales and magazine closures, the all-purpose skills of elite creative directors are still very much in demand. As former ESPN creative director Neil Jamieson says, “Why wouldn't Apple be hiring magazine designers? No category of designer is more multifaceted. Beyond the fundamentals, they do branding, packaging, identity, storytelling. They have experience on set, with video, social, and short-form storytelling.” There's no question there's a dire need in the corporate field for these kinds of skills. The question that remains unanswered, so far, is: Can that kind of digital work ever deliver the same creative fulfillment that magazines do? We talked to Duplessis about learning to scuba dive in his Dad's Virginia quarry, the modeling career that wasn't, cutting his teeth at the controversial hip-hop magazine, Blaze, adapting to life on the West Coast, and what he's planning for life after work. — THIS EPISODE IS MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR FRIENDS AT COMMERCIAL TYPE AND FREEPORT PRESS.

Guest Courtney Miller Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, Richard welcomes back Courtney Miller to unpack her PhD research on one of open source's most overlooked problems: what happens when widely used software is abandoned. Courtney explains why abandonment is not always simple, or even always bad, but can create real risks for the developers and projects that depend on it. From npm package research and downstream impact to Abandabot, AI-assisted tooling, maintainer burnout, and responsible sunsetting, this conversation explores how the open source ecosystem can better understand, detect, and respond when the software we rely on stops being maintained. Press download now! [00:01:28] Courtney explains the focus of her dissertation. [00:02:34] Courtney defines abandonment. [00:03:44] Her ecosystem-wide analysis focused on the npm JavaScript ecosystem, looking specifically at widely used packages. [00:05:23] The first part of the dissertation involved interviews with maintainers who rely on abandoned packages and often lack tools or clear processes for responding. [00:06:31] Courtney describes two types of abandonment: Explicit Notice Abandonment and Activity Based Abandonment. [00:09:27] Courtney explains the third and final chapter called, Designing Abandabot. [00:11:10] Richard raises the point that some software can be “done” and still function fine. Courtney agrees, noting that not all abandonment matters and beyond alerts remediation matters. [00:13:22] The conversation expands into under-resourced and under-maintained projects, which can also become supply chain risks before they are fully abandoned. [00:14:53] Richard brings up the “Whale Fall” idea and Courtney agrees and points to responsible sunsetting as an important research area. [00:17:39] We learn about Courtney's experience bringing AI into the dissertation, especially for building Abandabot's prediction system. [00:20:54] Richard asks whether AI is already making abandonment more common. [00:24:52] Courtney talks about staying grounded in real practitioner problems as the open source and AI landscape changes quickly. [00:26:30] Final Takeaways: Courtney argues that abandonment needs to be addressed now, especially through software composition analysis tools that can help developers understand and respond to real dependency risk. Quotes [00:01:35] “The title of my dissertation is: “Supporting the Sustainable Use of Open Source Software.” [00:07:10] “There is no right answer how to define abandonment.” [00:07:26] “Explicit Notice Abandonment”- where the maintainers of a package publicly express their intent to no longer do so.” [00:07:42] “The other type of abandonment was called “Activity Based Abandonment” -commonly used as a way of identifying abandonment in open source sustainability literature.” [00:08:26] “Out of the widely used packages, around 15% had abandonment issues.” [00:11:38] “Not all abandonment matters. If left pad is abandoned, who cares?” [00:21:35] “Maybe projects never have to die. You can create a fork and maintain it on your own.” Spotlight [00:27:20] Richard's spotlight is the translation feature on iPhone in Books. [00:28:20] Courtney's potlight is her dog, Chanel, and SAFE-MCP.

Tot de sterren en daar voorbij. SpaceX is nu van de belegger: het ruimtevaartbedrijf is genoteerd aan Wall Street. Het is de grootste beursgang aller tijden. Deze aflevering hoor je wat er achter de schermen van deze beursgang gebeurt. Hoe de prijs tot stand komt, hoe de toekomst van het aandeel eruit ziet en waar het geld verdiend gaat worden. Ook gaan we je voorstellen aan Gwynne Shotwell. Dat is de vrouw die de dagelijkse leiding op zich neemt (en dus niet Elon Musk). Het is ook de aflevering waar we kijken naar andere, aanstaande beursgangen. Die van Anthropic en OpenAI. Is daar onder particulieren nog wel geld voor? En welke beursgang wordt het meest succesvol? Genoeg over beursgangen, laten we het hebben over overnames! Adyen neemt een Amerikaans bedrijf over. We kijken of ze dat verder helpt. Hebben we het ook over een mogelijke overname van ING, in België. Te gast: Nico Inberg van De Aandeelhouder (die aandelen SpaceX kocht) BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever been to PyCon, you know one of the best parts of the expo hall is Startup Row, a stretch of booths where early-stage companies built on Python show off what they're creating. But only attendees get to walk that lane, so let's bring it to everyone. In this episode, we stroll down Startup Row together. We kick things off with the organizers, Jason and Shay, who share the program's origin story going back to Paul Graham and the PSF, plus some surprising stats, including two unicorns among the alumni. Then we meet five startups: Tetrix, bringing AI to institutional investing in private markets. Arcjet, security that lives inside your app as an SDK. Phemeral.dev, serverless hosting built for Python web apps. CapiscIO, an identity and authority layer for AI agents. And Pixeltable, a multimodal database from Marcel Kornacker, co-creator of Apache Parquet. See if you can spot the theme running through them all. Let's go for a walk.

Intuit just cut 17% of its workforce, roughly 3,000 employees, and Alicia is joined by Dan DeLong and Matthew "Spot" Fulton to unpack what actually happened and why it isn't the AI story everyone assumed. Drawing on Dan's 18 years inside the company, they break down the real drivers behind the cuts, the unusually generous severance packages, the closing of the Reno and Woodland Hills offices, and the three big bets shaping Intuit's future. They also dig into the uncertain fate of MailChimp and what the mid-market pivot signals for ProAdvisors and the QuickBooks community.Sponsors:Aqqrue - http://uqb.promo/aqqrueC&R Consulting - http://uqb.promo/cnr(00:00) - Intuit Layoffs Overview (01:57) - Why Layoffs Happen (03:01) - Dan Layoff Story (04:58) - Restructure Not AI (06:23) - Details and Office Closures (09:42) - India and Global Impact (11:50) - Culture and Job Mobility (14:15) - Severance and Support (20:47) - Layoffs and Career Growth (24:42) - Letter Management Layers (29:03) - Customer Support Outsourcing (32:10) - Strategic Hubs and Remote Work (36:09) - TurboTax Credit Karma Merge (37:04) - Restructuring Around Customers (38:09) - Three Big Bets Explained (38:46) - AI Native Done For You (39:49) - Center Of Money Push (41:56) - Mid Market Expansion (43:22) - MailChimp Cuts And Risks (47:10) - Divestiture Rumors And AI (52:36) - SMB Churn And Competition (54:42) - Closing Thoughts And Thanks (55:41) - What's New With Hosts (56:16) - Scaling New Heights Plans (58:25) - Alicia Events And Training (01:01:35) - Awards And Final Wrap LINKSIntuit Account login episode: uqb.show/81 Dan's School of Bookkeeping course about Bulk Editing Data in QuickBooks: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/a/2148284044/FzeLMxRpSchoolofbookkeeping YouTube: https://snip.ly/SOBYTFree Live Workshop Wednesdays: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/workshop-wednesdayQB Power Hour: https://www.qbpowerhour.com/ Alicia's book on Amazon: http://royl.ws/conversion-bookJuly 21 through October 8: HANDS-ON QUICKBOOKS COMPLETE TRAINING COURSE, http://royl.ws/HOT2026?affiliate=5393907We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQBOPodcastSign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding 

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond are joined by Ellyse Cedeno, founder of Heuristic Salvo and a software engineer and product leader with more than 25 years of experience across early internet platforms, gaming, health tech, and distributed systems. Ellyse shares the winding path that took her from early search engines and Netscape to game development, medical research at Mount Sinai, and eventually to Elixir. Along the way, she talks about staying curious over a long technical career, rediscovering joy through side projects, and why being willing to feel like a beginner again can be one of the most useful skills a developer can build. The conversation explores what it means to grow as an engineer in a world where AI tooling is becoming part of the everyday workflow. Ellyse makes the case that technical skill still matters, but the human parts of software development (like judgment, curiosity, communication, trust, and influence) are becoming increasingly important. We also talk about soft influence and how developers can create change inside organizations without relying on hard authority. Key Topics Discussed in this Episode: Ellyse's career path through early internet platforms, gaming, health tech, and distributed systems Moving from Netscape and search engines to medical research and software consulting Discovering Elixir through an interest in concurrent and distributed systems Why beginner's mindset still matters after decades in tech How neurodivergence, curiosity, and deep focus shape Ellyse's approach to programming Rediscovering joy in programming through side projects and experimentation Building an MMORPG game server in Elixir Exploring hardware, Nerves, and live theremin demos The role of passion projects in professional growth Protecting time for learning in productivity-focused environments Work-life balance differences between the U.S. and Europe How AI tools are changing expectations for modern developers Why AI does not replace judgment, taste, or technical understanding Understanding business needs instead of only focusing on technical preferences Introducing Elixir into a TypeScript-heavy organization Using Elixir microservices to solve specific technical problems What “soft influence” looks like in engineering teams Building trust through one-on-one conversations Knowing when influence is working and when it is not Negotiating technical decisions without turning them into power struggles The relationship between technical competence and interpersonal skill Managing imposter syndrome during pair programming and collaborative work Documentation as a visibility and ownership tool Community involvement, conference speaking, and finding your people Staying curious without burning out Why the human side of software development still matters Links Mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape Icahn School of Medicine at Mt.

The BPO Industry Isn't Dying. But It May Need to Reinvent Itself Faster Than Anyone Expected. Yuma AI CEO Guillaume Luccisano argues that customer experience providers must evolve from labor arbitrage specialists into AI orchestrators and systems integrators—or risk becoming irrelevant. For years, critics of the business process outsourcing industry have predicted its demise. First it was robotic process automation. Then conversational AI. Then Generative AI. Yet the industry survived every previous wave of disruption because technology changed the way work was delivered rather than eliminating the need for the service itself. In episode 420 of the CX Files, Guillaume talks to Mark Hillary about these changes and how BPOs may need to adapt. https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaumeluccisano/ https://yuma.ai/ -------------- Summary: Mark Hillary and Peter Ryan discuss the impact of AI on the BPO industry, featuring Guillaume Luccisano, CEO of Yuma AI. Luccisano argues that traditional BPO models are outdated, emphasizing AI's potential to automate 100% of customer service within 2-3 years. He highlights Yuma AI's success in deploying AI agents since 2023, achieving automation rates up to 89%. Luccisano predicts a significant shift in the job market due to AI, suggesting BPOs must evolve into systems integrators to survive. He also notes the cost efficiency of AI, with interactions costing under $1 compared to $4-$8 for human agents. ---- The BPO Industry Isn't Dying. But It May Need to Reinvent Itself Faster Than Anyone Expected. Yuma AI CEO Guillaume Luccisano argues that customer experience providers must evolve from labor arbitrage specialists into AI orchestrators and systems integrators—or risk becoming irrelevant. For years, critics of the business process outsourcing industry have predicted its demise. First it was robotic process automation. Then conversational AI. Then Generative AI. Yet the industry survived every previous wave of disruption because technology changed the way work was delivered rather than eliminating the need for the service itself. But according to Guillaume Luccisano, founder and CEO of Yuma AI, this time may be different. Speaking on Episode 420 of the CX Files podcast, Luccisano argued that the traditional BPO model—selling customer service through large pools of human agents—is facing a challenge unlike anything it has encountered before. His view is stark: AI is no longer just helping agents do their jobs better. It is increasingly capable of doing the job itself. And if that trend continues, the industry will need to redefine its purpose. The End of the "Cost Per Interaction" Era Luccisano's company specializes in AI-powered customer service automation for retail and e-commerce brands. He claims some clients are already automating the vast majority of customer interactions. What has changed, he argues, is that AI is no longer limited to answering questions from a knowledge base. Modern AI agents can access customer records, understand context, follow workflows, execute transactions, and complete tasks. In other words, they are moving beyond information retrieval and into operational execution. This matters because the traditional BPO business model has largely been built around charging for human effort—whether measured in agents, hours, seats, or interactions. If AI can handle increasing volumes of customer contacts at a fraction of the cost, then the economics begin to shift dramatically. A contact that once required several dollars of human labor may eventually be resolved for a few cents in computing costs. Even if those figures are debated, the direction of travel is becoming difficult to ignore. The Problem Isn't Technology. It's Incentives. One of Luccisano's most interesting observations is that many outsourcing providers are already talking extensively about AI. The question is whether they are deploying AI to genuinely transform operations or merely adding enough AI to satisfy customer demand while protecting existing revenue streams. That creates an uncomfortable tension. A provider whose business depends on thousands of agents has little incentive to aggressively deploy technology that could reduce the number of agents required. As Luccisano noted, many providers find themselves caught between serving today's business model and preparing for tomorrow's. The challenge is not technical. It is organizational. And perhaps even existential. Why Investors Are Nervous The sharp decline in the share prices of several publicly traded CX providers has fuelled speculation about the sector's future. Luccisano believes investors are not simply reacting to hype. They are attempting to price in a future where customer service becomes significantly more automated, more efficient, and therefore less dependent on large labor-intensive operations. Whether investors have overreacted remains open to debate. But the market is clearly asking a difficult question: What happens to a company built around managing tens of thousands of customer service agents when customers increasingly expect AI-driven efficiency? The answer remains uncertain. But it is a question every provider now has to confront. The Hidden Complexity Most Critics Ignore To his credit, Luccisano does not dismiss the value that BPOs create today. Customer interactions are only one piece of a much larger operational puzzle. Large CX providers manage compliance requirements, regulatory obligations, security controls, multilingual operations, workforce management, governance frameworks, quality assurance, and complex integrations across dozens of markets. Replacing an individual customer service interaction with AI is one thing. Replacing the entire operational framework surrounding customer service is something else entirely. This is where many simplistic predictions about the "death of BPO" fall apart. The institutional knowledge accumulated by major outsourcing firms still has value. The question is whether that value can be repackaged. From Outsourcer to Systems Integrator Perhaps the most important idea from the conversation was Luccisano's belief that the future role of the BPO may look less like a labor provider and more like a systems integrator. Rather than selling headcount, providers could sell expertise. Rather than managing agents, they could manage AI agents. Rather than staffing operations, they could design, orchestrate, govern, optimize, and continuously improve AI-enabled customer experience ecosystems. This is a subtle but profound shift. It moves the provider higher up the value chain. The emphasis shifts from execution to orchestration. From labor to outcomes. From workforce management to intelligent systems management. Ironically, this would bring some BPOs closer to the role that companies like IBM, Accenture, and other major technology integrators evolved into years ago. A Difficult Transition The challenge, of course, is that transformation is easier to describe than to execute. Reinventing a startup is one thing. Reinventing a global organization employing hundreds of thousands of people is another. Many of today's largest CX providers are highly successful businesses with established customer relationships and predictable revenue streams. That success can become a barrier to change. The dilemma is obvious. How aggressively should a company invest in technologies that could cannibalize its own business? History suggests that incumbents often struggle with precisely this problem. The Bigger Question Perhaps the most controversial part of Luccisano's argument extends beyond outsourcing entirely. He believes AI is creating a broader economic transformation that will affect many knowledge-based professions, not just customer service. Software engineering, consulting, administration, legal services, and customer experience are all beginning to feel the effects. If he is right, then the debate is no longer about whether AI will change customer service. The debate is about how quickly institutions can adapt to a world where intelligence itself becomes abundant and inexpensive. The Future May Belong to the Adaptable The most important takeaway from this discussion is not that BPOs are doomed. In fact, Luccisano repeatedly acknowledged that some providers will survive and potentially thrive. But survival may depend on abandoning the assumption that customer service is primarily a labor business. The providers that succeed could be those that become trusted advisors, AI operators, governance experts, and systems integrators. The providers that fail may be those that continue selling people when customers increasingly want outcomes. The outsourcing industry has reinvented itself before. The question now is whether it can do so again—at the speed AI demands.

In this special episode, we talk about efficiency and managing assets in your brewery, as well as proactive and preventive approaches that extend the lifespan of your equipment and reduce equipment downtime. There's more data available to you than ever before, but understanding how to use that data to make smart decisions and anticipate issues before they happen can save you money and avoid costly downtime. Here we talk about some of the more common issues that breweries deal with as well as the warning signs, so that breweries can avoid problems rather than react to them. Joining for the episode are: Bobby Cole, President & CEO of Think-PLC, Lexington, North Carolina Corey Dickens, Principal Solutions Consultant for Manufacturing at Brightly Software, a Siemens company This special episode was produced in partnership with Brightly Software, a Siemens company based in Raleigh, North Carolina, that helps organizations manage their assets, facilities, and infrastructure throughout their entire lifespan.

Software agents are now the highest-converting shoppers on the web, and most stores are built to lock them out. Rick Watson sit down with Stripe's Danny Smith, who leads global agentic commerce solution architecture, to work through what changes when your buyer is a piece of software.The Watson Weekly interview is sponsored by Avalara - the agentic AI platform automating global tax and compliance for leading eCommerce brands. For more details: https://avalaratax.watsonweekly.com.They cover why agents convert about 4x better than humans, why two-thirds of agent checkouts fail on sites built for people, and the four ways merchants can let agents pay, from approving every purchase by hand up to agents transacting with each other directly. Danny closes with three concrete moves to make now, starting with treating your robots.txt like a doorman instead of a bouncer.

What if the secret to a business that actually sets you free has nothing to do with your idea, your hustle, or your vision, and everything to do with a number most entrepreneurs never pay close enough attention to? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Omar Zenhom, co-founder of the legendary $100 MBA Show podcast and the man behind Webinar Ninja, a SaaS company he built from zero to over 30,000 users and eventually sold in 2024. Omar is an educator turned entrepreneur, the kind of guy who left a decade of teaching to go all in on business, built something real over ten years, and came out the other side financially free and still hungry for the next chapter. His podcast has racked up over 300 million downloads and consistently ranks among the top business shows in more than 30 countries. He's not flashy about it. He's just sharp, honest, and genuinely good at what he does. This episode matters because Omar is one of those rare entrepreneurs who's actually done it. He built, he scaled, he burned the candle, he sold, and now he talks about all of it, including the parts that surprised him. If you're a business owner trying to build something that gives you more freedom, not less, this conversation is going to hit. Here are the biggest lessons from this one. Margins aren't the most important thing in business. They're the only thing. Omar opened with something he says constantly on his own show, and it bears repeating here. If your margins aren't healthy, you can't hire great people, you can't delegate, you can't step back, and you definitely can't build a business that serves your life. He says sixty percent is the floor, and anything below that puts you on life support. Software, digital products, service businesses built on systems, these are the models that get you there. Get the margins right first, then build everything else on top. Stop trying to find a diamond in the rough when it comes to hiring. Omar went looking for the most expensive engineer he could find on Upwork, a former engineering exec at Yahoo, because his software needed someone elite. That one person did in ten hours a week what five cheaper engineers couldn't. You pay for it upfront or you pay for it later in messes, rewrites, and wasted time. The same goes for editors, videographers, anyone whose taste and skill directly affects the quality of what you're putting into the world. One great hire changes everything. Validate before you build. Before Webinar Ninja was a real product, Omar and Nicole pre-sold it. One hundred and fifty spots in 48 hours, just on the promise of a solution four months out. That told them everything. People don't just say they want something when they put actual money down. If you're sitting on a business idea right now and haven't tested whether anyone will pay for it yet, that's the only thing that matters next. Embrace the struggle as part of the deal. Omar grew up watching his Egyptian immigrant parents rebuild their lives from scratch in America. That foundation gave him something money can't buy, a high tolerance for discomfort and a genuinely low floor for what counts as failure. He says his fondest memories from ten years at Webinar Ninja are the hard moments, the fires, the pivots, the times he had no idea how he'd get out of something. That mindset isn't just feel-good advice. It's a practical edge. When you stop treating struggle as a sign something's wrong and start treating it as the job, you get a lot harder to shake. AI is not optional anymore, and using it to figure out how to use it better is the move. Omar is building new software on weekends using Claude and Windsurf, no code, no development team. He's using Claude to write his prompts before he even opens the builder. What used to take years now takes a few weekends. He's clear that the people who are thriving right now aren't just using AI, they're building the habit of reaching for it first, staying curious about its limits, and using it to multiply everything they already do well. If you're still on the fence, he'd tell you that fence is expensive. We also get into what it's actually like to sell a business, the 16 months it took, the emotional whiplash of feeling relief and then feeling lost, the NDA that keeps him from saying the number but also the fact that he blinked twice. Omar and Nicole's story of co-founding a company as husband and wife while staying married is one for the books too, and his 70/10/10/5/5 money formula is the kind of simple framework you'll want to write down. The closing of this episode is one of the most grounding things I've heard in a long time. Omar's billboard isn't a quote. It's a mirror. Because every time he was stuck, every time he hit a wall, the common denominator was him. Not the market, not the economy, not bad timing. Him. And once he stopped running from that and started taking full ownership, everything shifted. That's the energy Omar brings, direct, honest, and genuinely fired up about the game of business and the life you can build through it.
