BONUS: Software Engineers are Paid to Solve Problems, Not Write Code! With John Crickett In this BONUS episode, we explore a thought-provoking LinkedIn post by John Crickett that challenges a fundamental misconception in software engineering. John shares insights on why engineers should focus on problem-solving rather than just coding, how to develop business context understanding, and why this shift in perspective is crucial in the age of AI. Beyond Writing Code: Understanding the True Value of Software Engineering "A lot of us come to software engineering because we care about building, and missed the goal: solving a problem for a customer." John Crickett explains the fundamental disconnect many software engineers experience in their careers. While many enter the field with a passion for building and coding, they often lose sight of the ultimate purpose: solving real problems for customers. This misalignment can lead to creating technically impressive solutions that fail to address actual business needs. John emphasizes that the most valuable engineers are those who can bridge the gap between technical implementation and business value. In this section, we refer to John's Coding Challenges and Developing Skills websites. The Isolation Problem in Engineering Teams "We have insulated people from seeing and interacting with customers, perhaps because we were afraid they would create a problem with customers." One of the key issues John identifies is how engineering teams are often deliberately separated from customers and end-users. This isolation, while sometimes implemented with good intentions, prevents engineers from gaining crucial context about the problems they're trying to solve. John shares his early career experience of participating in the sales process for software projects, which gave him valuable insights into customer needs. He highlights the Extreme Programming (XP) approach, which advocates for having the customer "in the room" to provide direct and immediate feedback, creating a tighter feedback loop between problem identification and solution implementation. In this segment, we refer to the book XP Explained by Kent Beck. The AI Replacement Risk "If all you are doing is taking a ticket that is fully spec'ed out, and coding it, then an LLM could also do that. The value is in understanding the problem." In a world where Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly capable of generating code, John warns that engineers who define themselves solely as coders face a significant risk of obsolescence. The true differentiation and value come from understanding the business domain and problem space—abilities that current AI tools haven't mastered. John advises engineers to develop domain knowledge specific to their business or customers, as this expertise allows them to contribute uniquely valuable insights beyond mere code implementation. Cultivating Business Context Understanding "Be curious about what the goal is behind the code you need to write. When people tell you to build, you need to be curious about why you are being asked to build that particular solution." John offers practical advice for engineers looking to develop better business context understanding. The key is cultivating genuine curiosity about the "why" behind coding tasks and features. By questioning requirements and understanding the business goals driving technical decisions, engineers can transform their role from merely delivering code to providing valuable services and solutions. This approach allows engineers to contribute more meaningfully and become partners in business success rather than just implementers. Building the Right Engineering Culture "Code is always a liability, sometimes it's an asset. The process starts with hiring the CTO—the people at the top. You get the team that reflects your values." Creating an engineering culture that values problem-solving over code production starts at the leadership level. John emphasizes that the values demonstrated by technical leadership will cascade throughout the organization. He notes the counter-intuitive truth that code itself is inherently a liability (requiring maintenance, updates, and potential refactoring), only becoming an asset when it effectively solves business problems. Building a team that understands this distinction begins with leadership that demonstrates curiosity about the business domain and encourages engineers to do the same. The Power of Asking Questions "Be curious, ask more questions." For engineers looking to make the shift from coder to problem-solver, John recommends developing the skill of asking good questions. He points to Harvard Business Review's article on "The Surprising Power of Questions" as a valuable resource. The ability to ask insightful questions about business needs, user requirements, and problem definitions allows engineers to uncover the true challenges beneath surface-level requirements. This curiosity-driven approach not only leads to better solutions but also positions engineers as valuable contributors to business strategy. In this segment, we refer to the article in HBR titled The Surprising Power of Questions. About John Crickett John is a passionate software engineer and leader on a mission to empower one million engineers and managers. With extensive expertise in distributed systems, full-stack development, and evolving tech stacks from C++ to Rust, John creates innovative coding challenges, insightful articles, and newsletters to help teams level up their skills.

On this episode of the Move Swiftly Podcast, I'm diving into a leadership moment that flipped the switch for me—straight from my days at KinderCare Learning Center.Back then, I thought passion meant volume… until I realized the real leaders are the ones who anticipate problems, not just react to them. You'll hear the real story behind how daily tantrums and parent complaint calls nearly broke me—until one simple piece of advice from my boss changed my leadership style forever.

Consistency wins—and we're keeping the Top 5 Tuesday momentum going strong!In this episode, we dive deep into the proactive mindset that top leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-performers use to solve problems before they even appear. It all starts with asking the right questions—and we've got the framework to guide you.

In this episode of the Untrapped Podcast, host Keith Kalfas talks with Joel Kouski from Kouski Landscaping, who has built a $2 million business with 20 employees. Joel shares his story and talks about why staying emotionally detached in customer service is important, while still building real connections with customers. They discuss overcoming challenges, leading with humility and strong character, and using smart sales strategies. Joel also gives practical tips for handling the busy spring season, boosting team productivity, and staying focused on personal growth and faith. This episode is packed with useful advice for landscaping business owners and entrepreneurs.     " We're trying to be a lot of things for good reasons, but what if trying to be that thing in the first place is actually the thing holding you back? Just take the pressure off, " – Joel Kouski Topics Covered: Joel Kuski's Business Journey Challenges in Entrepreneurship The Role of Encouragement in Business Solving Technical Issues in Business Balancing Personal Life and Business Building Systems and Automations Personal Growth and Humility in Leadership Customer Connection and Sales Success Pricing and Value in the Landscaping Industry Employee Management and AI Tools Key Takeaways Building Real Connections in Business: Joel stresses the importance of genuinely understanding and connecting with people — whether it's customers, employees, or family. For example, instead of just selling a pool, he suggests creating a space that fits the customer's real desires, which builds trust and loyalty.   Emotional and Mental Health: Both Keith and Joel talk about how important it is for entrepreneurs to take care of their emotional and mental health. Joel shares how stress and poor emotional management hurt his relationships and emphasizes the value of self-awareness, admitting mistakes, and focusing on personal growth.   Value and Pricing: Instead of focusing on discounts or low prices, Joel advises businesses to focus on understanding their customers' needs and offering high value. By doing so, they can justify higher prices and build customer loyalty.   Connect with Joel Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JoelKouski Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joelkouski/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-kouski-9b751a73 Website: https://www.joelkouski.com/ Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:

In this solo episode, Brandon unpacks a powerful idea that keeps surfacing in his work and personal life: we can't solve problems we don't understand. And we can't understand problems until we stop speaking in generalities and start getting specific.The spark came from a bedtime story with his son—What Do You Do With a Problem? by Kobi Yamada—but the insight goes much deeper. Avoiding the problem makes it grow. Facing it, defining it, and breaking it down is what opens the door to real solutions.Brandon explores how this principle shows up in manufacturing, leadership, strategy, communication, and day-to-day execution. From root cause analysis to structured methods like PDCA and A3, it all comes down to one thing: clear thinking.About Building Better:Building Better with Brandon Bartneck focuses on the people, products, and companies creating a better tomorrow, often in the transportation and manufacturing sectors. The show features real, human conversations exploring what leaders and innovators are doing, why and how they're doing it, and what we can learn from their experiences.Key Themes:You can't solve what you don't understandSpecifics matter more than abstractions when it comes to problem definitionAmbiguity creates unnecessary complexity and anxietySystematic frameworks only work when grounded in clear thinkingManufacturing lessons apply across leadership, strategy, and operationsShow Notes:brandonbartneck.com/buildingbetter/256Listen to the Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotify

Allen Hall: To start off the week, Joel and I have just completed a couple of days that. ACP OMS in Nashville, Tennessee. And if you don't know where Nashville is in the center ish of the country, more towards the eastern part than the western part. It's the same state where it Davey Crockett came from Daniel Boone. Am I right about that, Joel? Sergeant York, Andrew Jackson. Yeah. This is some old names. Yeah, it's right next to, actually next to North Carolina. So we're like I don't know, an hour's drive from North Carolina with the area that got hit with hurricane a couple of months ago. We're not very far from it. But Nashville, the event was pretty well populated. I was trying to relate it to the OM and S event that happened in San Diego a year ago. It felt like it was a little bit smaller of an event, Joel, and maybe the attendance was a little bit lower. Joel Saxum: Yeah, the interesting, we were at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center. It's absolutely massive. I learned today that it's the largest like resort convention center without a casino in the entire world. Like it felt like he walked like a mile through the inside of the thing to get to it. Like the conference center. What I think the issue there was, or what it felt like, is it didn't feel like it was as well attended as it was last year. A lot of ISPs, so a lot of blade repair companies, a lot of service companies, all floating around, not as many operators, but my thought is we're used to having this thing in San Diego. It was 40 degrees and raining today. And in San Diego every year it's like 75, 80 degrees. Beautiful. Everything is fantastic. People bring their families and stuff like that. So you hear a lot of people, oh yeah, I can't grab dinner tonight. I got, my, my wife and kids we're gonna go do this. When you're in the San Diego event here, not so much. 'cause it's, there's live music that's great that but it, you're also 20 minutes from downtown. It is a little bit of a different feel. But yeah the show floor. Of course, Allen and you and I took a couple laps around it and Claire, our producer as well. We took a couple laps around to see what was there. A lot of the same players that we're used to seeing a lot of the same companies. Nothing super new that stuck out. Nothing groundbreaking, however. A couple cool things, right? We sat down, I think we rec, we recorded a bunch of great material with some of our podcast friends and people new to the podcast at the thing. You'll hear those in the coming weeks, of course. But we did get to look at the Earth next platform from Earth Wind. That was really cool. Also the Gulf Wind Technology team was there and they were show showcasing their up tower root bushing repair. That was really cool. Other than that, ah, c nnc onsite, right? The ability to do precision machining up tower, which is really neat.

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I'm diving into a different perspective on leadership. We often think of leaders as problem-solvers, but what if the best leaders actually create problems on purpose? Yep, I'm talking about intentionally crafting “good problems” that push the needle forward in innovation and strategy. Instead of just tackling day-to-day issues, I'm proposing we focus on creating challenges that spark growth and breakthroughs.I'll be talking about how staying reactive can really hold you back, and how true trailblazers are leveraging strategic problems to force progress. I'll share a simple five-step process for identifying areas where you're too comfortable, setting audacious goals, creating intentional constraints, embracing failure, and seeking outside perspectives—everything you need to start creating challenges that lead to growth and transformation, both for you and your business.Resources from this episode:Visionary CEO Schedule TemplateThe Incubator: A Mastermind For Visionaries & Their Right HandShow notes: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/episode263Connect with me:Website: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/If there's a topic, a question or a guest you want to hear on the show or an idea you have for us, just reach out and share that at marketing@luminaryleadershipco.com.

In the ever-evolving world of dentistry, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is paving the way for significant advancements in efficiency and patient care. In our latest podcast episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with the innovative minds behind Dentscape AI, a company that is transforming the dental lab landscape. Dentscape AI is not just another tech startup; it's a groundbreaking solution designed specifically for dental labs. With their AI agent, dental technicians can now generate up to 100 crowns in just 10 minutes! This remarkable feat is achieved by simplifying workflows and reducing the workload of dental professionals, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks that require human creativity and expertise. The conversation began with the introduction of the Dentscape team, including co-founders Bill Cho and Dr. Sylvie Liu. Sylvie, a practicing dentist and lecturer in digital dentistry, shared her journey from traditional dentistry to entrepreneurship. Her passion for the artistry of dentistry led her to seek innovative solutions that would not only enhance her practice but also address the pressing challenges faced by dental labs. Bill explained the three key pillars that support their AI model: high-quality data, advanced algorithms, and robust computing power. By partnering with large dental labs, Dentscape AI ensures that their models are trained on real-world data, allowing for accuracy and reliability in crown design. As Ryan Axelson, another key member of the Dentscape team, pointed out, their goal is to provide tools that empower technicians, allowing them to enhance their workflow and ultimately improve patient care.

This episode of The Future Built Smarter examines the intersection of AEC technology and artificial intelligence (AI) with guest Alice Leung, Vice President at Brick and Mortar Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm that focuses on construction technology. Alice explains that the firm invests in startups that address existing productivity challenges within the industry. "We're here to invest in startups that are trying to solve real problems in the construction industry—not just crazy solutions looking for problems to solve.”   Alice says the industry is seeing an influx of interest and investment in technology—noteworthy at a time when McKinsey & Company reports continue to highlight stagnation in construction productivity. "The industry is frustrated that the world thinks we are not more innovative, more technology forward, or productive," she says.   AI is the chief driver of innovative construction technology, with current practical applications including streamlining manual tasks to make operations more efficient. This is transforming the estimating process, for example, with some AI software companies using AI to count components such as light fixtures or toilets from PDFs and models, significantly reducing the time and labor required for these tasks—and freeing up technical staff for more important design tasks. “Another low-hanging fruit area is in RFP's—just being able to take past project proposals [and using AI] to help write new proposal material,” Alice says. “So, if you're limited by the number of people that you have putting together proposals, if you're able to leverage AI to speed up a lot of that work, in theory, you can go after more projects, you can win more work, build out a stronger pipeline.”   Alice adds that AI also is being used more and more to quickly create 3D environments to allow architects and engineers to present their designs to clients at an early stage, allowing them to visually understand the design and speed up decision-making. "Generative AI is really good at turning sketches into photorealistic stuff... There is just so much auto creation of virtual environments."   Those in the AEC industry who are looking to innovate with AI technologies should not overlook the importance of governance, particularly regarding data privacy. "There's a lot of conversation around data privacy... do we share our data with startups?" Alice says. When evaluating working with startups, she adds, “make sure that they have the technology architecture to be able but to swap in and swap out AI models,” which are getting better and exponentially faster—and often updated every six months or so. “The last thing you want is to have a big partnership with a startup that has hard coded their model or has built it in a way where they can't swap it out easily.”   Learn more about Brick & Mortar Ventures at brickmortar.vc/.

“We don't spend a lot of time thinking about how we breathe. We just do it,” says Jamie Flinchbaugh. “But then we find out, whether we're training for sports or meditation or other things, that there's more to learn about breathing. And when we are thoughtful about it, we can do it better, more usefully.”Solving problems as a leader is similar to breathing, says Flinchbaugh. Leaders take it for granted that they can solve problems in the usual way. They're often on autopilot, and they forget to think about their roles–and the roles of others around them–in solving problems, which can lead to a “cascade of errors.”Jamie Flinchbaugh is author of the book People Solve Problems and the host of a podcast by the same name. He acts as a trusted advisor and thought partner for leaders through his firm, JFlinch. Jamie joins Daniel and Peter on this episode of The Leadership Growth Podcast to talk about how leaders solve problems, some of the mistakes they can make, and how they can improve. Tune in to learn:The three roles of leaders as they solve problemsThe importance of curiosity and uncomfortable learning in problem-solvingWhy designing for optimal circumstances is a bad strategy for problem-solvingJoin us for this practical and insightful discussion.In this episode:0:55 – Introduction: Jamie Flinchbaugh1:44 – What Do Leaders Get Wrong?6:23 – Leader Role #1: System Architect17:44 – Leader Role #2: Culture Builder31:46 – Leader Role #3: Shaper36:56 – Lightning RoundJamie Flinchbaugh's WebsitePeople Solve Problems PodcastPeople Solve Problems book on Amazon.comStewart Leadership Insights and Resources:How to Prioritize Your WorkThe Difference Between Important and UrgentThe 10 Tenets of Calendar ManagementThe Accountability ScaleFour Keys to Creating Accountability4 Ways to Encourage a Growth Mindset CultureYou Do Need an Ego!

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and Guy Odishaw discuss the importance of optimizing the nervous system for overall health and well-being. They focus on balancing the autonomic nervous system, which consists of the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, as well as the role of biofeedback and neurofeedback in optimizing this. They explain how heart rate variability can indicate the balance between these two systems and how factors like stress, lifestyle choices, and traumatic brain injuries can affect this balance. The discussion also highlights the challenges of meditation and the need for guidance and training.

How can you solve a problem without knowing the answer? In this episode, I'll show you how. Join me as we navigate through uncertainties, transform challenges into opportunities, and create a culture where open dialogue and curiosity light the way. 1. Resist the urge to quickly solve problems. Instead, take the time to slow down and gain deeper insights. When pressure mounts to deliver fast solutions, the rush can lead to rash decisions. By stepping back and carefully examining the underlying issues, leaders can gather more comprehensive insights that may prevent future problems and foster a learning environment. 2. Replace the quest for the ‘right answer' with curiosity. Rather than asking, “What's the solution?” ask, “What can we learn from this?” Shifting the focus from finding immediate answers to learning through exploration opens the door to new approaches and growth, turning problems into opportunities rather than obstacles. 3. Foster open dialogue to unlock innovative solutions. Encouraging team members to freely share their perspectives enriches collective understanding. Open discussions promote diverse viewpoints, which can lead to breakthrough ideas that might otherwise be missed in a more hierarchical approach. 4. Develop a decision-making framework for times of uncertainty. A well-defined framework can guide leaders through incomplete information and potential risks. By involving the team in the decision-making process and weighing different perspectives, leaders can make more balanced, informed choices—even if adjustments are needed later. This approach reduces the risk of oversight and fosters inclusivity. 5. Stay flexible and pivot based on new information. Set clear priorities, but be ready to adapt when necessary. Flexibility enables teams to respond more effectively to emerging challenges and uncover creative solutions. It also encourages team members to be adaptable, creating a resilient, dynamic culture that balances immediate problem-solving with long-term growth.
