Are you wondering how shifts in the energy sector and commodity markets might impact your retirement income? In this episode of The Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, Mike Johnson, James Dupree, and Clark Dupree reveal why oil company stocks are rising even as oil prices fall—and what this means for Kentucky retirement planning. For investors approaching or enjoying retirement, understanding how quality energy companies provide both income and stability becomes crucial. This conversation demonstrates why personalized investment management focused on individual stock ownership often outperforms mass-market approaches during commodity market volatility. The Energy Sector Paradox: Lower Oil Prices, Higher Stock Values One of 2025’s most surprising market developments has been the disconnect between oil prices and energy company performance. Oil prices dropped 19% this year, yet the energy sector gained approximately 3%. “This is the first time this century that that has happened,” explains Mike Johnson. “Typically the market prices those producers to track the underlying commodity.” This divergence reflects important factors that Kentucky retirement investors should understand: Policy Changes Create Investment Opportunities Recent regulatory shifts have created a more favorable environment for energy companies. Occidental Petroleum quantified benefits from recent legislation at $700-800 million for 2025-2026 alone. Combined with emission standard rollbacks, these changes have extended market expectations for fossil fuel demand. Integrated Oil Companies Provide Natural Hedging Major companies like Chevron and Exxon operate with advantages that pure drilling companies lack. They have multiple profit centers including exploration, production, and refining. “With oil prices in the upper fifties, that means for the refining business their input costs go down,” Johnson notes. “So that’s a more profitable line of business. It’s like a natural built-in hedge.” This structural advantage makes integrated oil companies attractive for investors seeking stable dividend income rather than commodity speculation. Lessons from 2014: Why Energy Companies Are Stronger Today The energy sector’s transformation since 2014 offers crucial insights. When oil peaked at $150 per barrel in 2014, companies embarked on aggressive drilling. By 2020, oil prices had essentially dropped to zero. “Through blood, sweat, and tears, they were forced to become more efficient,” Tom Dupree observes about the industry’s evolution. Today’s energy companies focus on high-quality drilling opportunities with strong returns rather than volume at any cost. This disciplined approach creates sustainable businesses capable of maintaining dividends during commodity downturns. Quality Companies Over Commodity Speculation “This is why we invest in companies that actually make a profit,” Dupree emphasizes. “What we’re trying to do is invest in things that make a profit and pay a dividend and do something that’s valuable.” Silver, Gold, and Bitcoin: Understanding Commodity Risk for Retirees Precious metals have experienced significant volatility. Silver mining company Coeur Mining traded at $8 in August, surged to $24, then pulled back to $19—all while silver and gold continued broader upward trends. Why Commodities Don’t Fit Retirement Income Strategies Mike Johnson explains why Dupree Financial Group approaches commodities cautiously in retirement portfolios: “Gold has no earnings. There’s no dividend associated with it. In a bear market on the commodity, the gold mining companies are gonna stop paying the dividend. In the context of retirement investing and producing an income, it’s just a speculative commodity.” While commodities can appreciate—gold and silver performed exceptionally well recently due to dollar concerns—their lack of earnings and dividends makes them problematic as core holdings for income-focused investors. The Free Cash Flow Advantage Chevron’s 6.8% free cash flow yield versus the S&P 500’s 3.4% illustrates why Dupree Financial Group focuses on individual company ownership. Free cash flow represents actual cash available to shareholders after expenses, providing more accurate valuation than simple price-to-earnings ratios. Companies with strong free cash flow sustain and grow dividends even during commodity weakness, providing the income stability retirees depend upon. What Kentucky Retirement Investors Really Need Clark Dupree, working with prospective clients, offers insight into what drives people to seek professional investment management: “They’re looking for a relationship. They’re looking for somebody to give them peace of mind.” This highlights the distinction between Dupree Financial Group’s personalized approach and commoditized experiences at large national firms. Transparency Over Complexity Many firms use complex jargon that creates client dependency rather than understanding. As Clark notes: “Sometimes advisors rely on codependent relationships that are not healthy. When you talk over somebody’s head, a client may feel disempowered without you.” The team emphasizes clear communication about portfolio holdings, investment rationale, and risk management. Every client owns investments in a separately managed account rather than pooled mutual funds. “We don’t own the stocks that we own and the bonds we own on our balance sheet,” Johnson clarifies. “We hold them on behalf of our clients. That’s the difference.” Specialized Retirement Income Expertise Unlike generalist advisors serving all investor types, Dupree Financial Group specializes in retirement investing and income generation for clients ages 50 and above. “Our specialty is retirement investing and producing that income stream for clients,” Johnson explains. “To concentrate on an income stream and mitigate risk. The byproduct of that is what the returns are.” Every investment decision centers on generating reliable income and managing downside risk. Total returns relative to the S&P 500 become secondary to these primary objectives. Key Takeaways for Kentucky Retirement Investors Energy companies can provide attractive income even when commodity prices decline, especially integrated oil companies with multiple profit centers The 2014-2020 oil collapse taught energy companies efficiency lessons that make today’s dividend-paying energy stocks more sustainable Commodities like gold, silver, and Bitcoin lack earnings and dividend characteristics necessary for reliable retirement income Free cash flow yield provides better insight into dividend sustainability than price-to-earnings ratios Separately managed accounts offer transparency that pooled investments cannot match Specialized retirement investment management serves pre-retirees and retirees better than generalist approaches Clear communication creates empowered investors rather than dependent relationships Notable Quotes from This Episode On energy transformation: “Through blood, sweat, and tears, they were forced to become more efficient. Everything from… the reason for that was in 2014, oil hit $150 a barrel, and by 2020, it had basically dropped to zero.” – Tom Dupree On commodity risks: “Gold has no earnings. There’s no dividend associated with it. In a bear market on the commodity, the gold mining companies are gonna stop paying the dividend.” – Mike Johnson On investment philosophy: “This is why we invest in companies that actually make a profit. We may not keep up with gold or silver that really moves up in a hurry, but over time we think we’ll outperform them.” – Tom Dupree On client relationships: “They’re looking for a relationship. They’re looking for somebody to give them peace of mind.” – Clark Dupree Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Investing and Retirement Portfolios Q: Why are energy stocks performing well even though oil prices have dropped? A: Energy company stocks reflect multiple factors beyond current commodity prices including regulatory changes, improved efficiency since 2014-2020, attractive dividend yields, and recognition that fossil fuels will remain necessary longer than expected. Integrated oil companies particularly benefit because lower oil prices reduce refining input costs. Q: Should retirees invest in gold and silver? A: While precious metals can appreciate significantly, they generate no earnings or dividends. During bear markets lasting a decade or more, they provide no income while potentially declining. For Kentucky retirement portfolios focused on reliable income, dividend-paying quality companies typically serve investors better. Q: What makes integrated oil companies better investments than pure drilling companies? A: Integrated companies like Chevron and Exxon own both drilling operations and refining facilities, creating natural hedges. When oil prices are low, refining divisions benefit from lower input costs. Pure drilling companies lack this balance and remain entirely exposed to commodity swings, making dividends less sustainable. Q: How does personalized investment management differ from large national firms? A: Large firms typically assign clients to counselors who recommend pre-packaged mutual fund portfolios. Personalized management provides direct access to portfolio managers who build custom portfolios of individual stocks and bonds in separately managed accounts, providing complete transparency about holdings and fees. Q: What is free cash flow yield and why does it matter? A: Free cash flow yield measures actual cash a company generates after expenses relative to stock price. Unlike earnings with non-cash items, free cash flow represents real cash available for dividends. Companies with high free cash flow yields (Chevron’s 6.8% versus the S&P 500’s 3.4%) have greater capacity to sustain dividends during challenges. Q: Why specialize in retirement investing rather than serving all investors? A: Retirement investing requires different strategies than accumulation. Retirees need reliable income, downside protection, and portfolios sustaining withdrawals for 30+ years. Specializing in clients ages 50 and above allows deep expertise in income-focused strategies and risk management techniques, serving this phase most effectively. Take Control of Your Kentucky Retirement Portfolio If you’re approaching retirement or already retired and want a local financial advisor providing direct access to portfolio managers rather than assigned counselors, Dupree Financial Group offers a different approach. Our three-generation, Kentucky-based team specializes in creating personalized, income-focused portfolios using individual stock and bond ownership rather than mass-market mutual funds. You deserve transparency about what you own, why you own it, and exactly what fees you’re paying.

Sirens, Slammers and Service - A podcast for Female First Responders
Send us a textThis episode of Sirens, Slammers and Service takes you behind the reins of one of policing's most unique and powerful units. Nikki is joined by Robin Koltusky, Mounted Patrol Team Lead with the Calgary Police Service and AWIPS Civilian of the Year 2025, for a deep dive into what it really takes to run a modern mounted unit. Robin shares her unconventional path into policing—from a lifetime in horsemanship and entrepreneurship to becoming a civilian subject matter expert within CPS—and how that expertise helped reshape the Mounted Unit's breeding program, herd assessment, and training standards. We break down the four operational portfolios of Mounted Patrol—frontline patrol, community engagement, search, and public safety support—plus the intense tactical training horses and officers undergo, including desensitization to crowds, noise, footing, and chaos. If you've ever wondered how officers and horses are selected, trained, and deployed when it matters most, this episode delivers.
Income-focused investing may seem old-school in a world dominated by total-return portfolios and model ETF allocations—but for some retirees, predictable cash flow is the key to peace of mind. This episode explores how a differentiated investment philosophy, rooted in individual income-producing securities, can become a powerful engine for both client trust and firm growth. David Scranton is the CEO of Sound Income Group, an RIA based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, overseeing $4 billion for 10,000 client households. Listen in as David shares how he constructs income-focused portfolios using combinations of what he calls "insured options" and "contractual securities", as well as high-dividend equity instruments with a focus on individual securities rather than mutual funds or ETFs. You'll learn how steady cash flow has led to greater client retention in down markets, David's "four keys" to attracting clients, and why narrowing his investment focus (and creating systems to implement it) has ultimately allowed him to serve more families.

If you've ever pulled a price out of thin air, matched a competitor without context, or quietly dipped into your savings to sustain your business, you're not alone. Many entrepreneurs struggle not with numbers, but with the stories and habits they've learned about money. Financial behaviorist, coach, and creator of Pricing Made Human®, Jacquette M. Timmons, understands this deeply—and built her work around helping people see the emotional and behavioral patterns tied to their financial choices.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Jacquette and I unpack the real drivers behind pricing, business development, and confidence. She shares how a blunt question from her CPA—“When are you going to stop mortgaging your life?”—forced her to confront her own money patterns, even with an MBA in finance and years managing high-net-worth portfolios. We explore how upbringing, identity, and the desire to be chosen show up in how you charge, negotiate, follow up, and build a sustainable business.If you've ever hesitated to raise your rates, struggled to explain your value, or felt vulnerable during a pitch, this conversation gives you language, context, and strategy to shift how you approach money. You'll walk away with new insight into your relationship with pricing, the role your personal story plays in your financial decisions, and what it takes to protect your financial future while growing your brand.1:41 – What personal brand means to Jacquette, how she (and I) would describe her, her favorite quote, and the musical genre (and DJs) that gets her hyped4:46 – How Jacquette's childhood experiences and environments shaped and influenced her8:35 – Jacquette's surprising early career path and how curiosity about human behavior fueled her focus on money psychology15:16 - How Jacquette helps her clients navigate their relationship with money17:24 – The pivotal question that inspired Pricing Made Human® and how one moment of truth redefined Jacquette's business philosophy24:23 – Two mistakes people make when it comes to pricing or knowing their value26:53 – How business development triggers our insecurities 29:55 – The “five and five” exercise and how relationships influence money and business decisions32:26 – Examples of Jacquette's impact on clients' relationship with money in business development36:49 – The connection between confidence, money, and how you show up professionally38:48 – How Jacquette approaches business development for herself and what she wishes she'd done differently43:12 – What I learned about money and business development from working with Jacquette45:52 – How Jacquette refuses to let the world steal her joy47:19 – Jacquette's commitment to focusing on money's human side and warmth as her magical assetMentioned In Pricing Is Personal: How Your Money Story Shapes Your Personal Brand with Jacquette TimmonsJacquette TimmonsPricing Made Human®More Than Money with Jacquette TimmonsSponsor for this episodePGE Consulting Group LLC empowers individuals and organizations to lead with purpose, presence, and impact.

Thinking of moving to the USA as a dentist? Wondering what exams, applications, and documents you'll need to practice or specialize there? Curious about how much it costs — and what life as a dentist in the States is really like? Dr. Hazel Kerr and Dr. Dorrin Reyhani join Jaz for a deep dive into everything you need to know about moving to America as a dentist.

Early preparation for the INBD exam is crucial for success. Clinical experience and a strong portfolio are essential for applications. Networking and externships can enhance application prospects. Understanding the application process can alleviate stress for international students. Cultural differences impact how dental care is valued and perceived.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we dive into a series of pivotal events shaping the landscape of drug development and patient care. The interplay between scientific advancements, regulatory shifts, and strategic partnerships is setting the stage for significant transformations within the industry.A highlight of recent developments is the legal challenge faced by Merck & Co. regarding its new subcutaneous version of Keytruda. This immunotherapy, already a breakthrough in cancer treatment, has encountered a hurdle in Germany where Halozyme, known for its drug-delivery technologies, has secured a preliminary injunction. This move by a German court halts Merck's activities related to Keytruda SC in Germany and underscores the intricate web of intellectual property rights in drug launches across international markets. The outcome of this case could establish crucial precedents for future commercialization efforts involving advanced drug delivery technologies.Meanwhile, there's promising news from Bristol Myers Squibb as their CAR-T therapy, Breyanzi, receives its fifth FDA approval, this time for marginal zone lymphoma. This approval is particularly noteworthy as it marks Breyanzi as the first CAR-T treatment sanctioned for this specific indication and extends its use across five different types of blood cancers. CAR-T therapies continue to represent a frontier in cancer treatment by leveraging the body's immune system to combat malignancies more effectively. This success story from Bristol Myers Squibb highlights the expanding potential of CAR-T therapies in tackling various hematological cancers, offering renewed hope for patients with limited treatment avenues.On the regulatory front, the FDA's proposal to consider single-trial approvals for certain drugs has sparked considerable debate. While some industry voices express concerns about potential compromises to safety and efficacy standards, others see it as an opportunity to invigorate research and development investments by reducing both time and costs associated with bringing new therapies to market. This shift could indeed accelerate innovation but will necessitate a careful balance to uphold rigorous safety standards.In parallel regulatory news, Daiichi Sankyo has received an "untitled letter" from the FDA over its patient ambassador video for Turalio, indicating ongoing challenges in navigating drug promotion guidelines and patient engagement strategies. Such interactions emphasize the complexities pharmaceutical companies face within regulatory frameworks.Shifting focus to corporate strategies, Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs is exploring a partnership with Humana aimed at addressing prescription drug costs for employers. This collaboration seeks to reduce healthcare expenses through innovative pricing models and distribution channels, reflecting a broader industry trend toward cost containment and value-based care delivery.In another development affecting public health policy, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has postponed its vote on changes to newborn hepatitis B vaccine policies due to ongoing debates and confusion surrounding the topic. This delay highlights the intricate nature of updating long-standing public health policies, especially those impacting vaccination schedules.From an investment perspective, Freenome's decision to go public through a $330 million SPAC deal stands out. Specializing in developing blood tests for early cancer detection using machine learning technologies, Freenome's move aims to secure capital necessary for advancing its diagnostic tools—potentially transforming cancer screening practices by enabling earlier detection and intervention.In clinical trial news, Praxis Precision Medicines reported positive efficacy results from a Phase 2 trialSupport the show
In this episode, we are joined by Oscar Scafidi, a Guinness World Record–holding adventurer, author, and expert on some of the most remote regions of Africa. Oscar recently released his new book, Kayak the Mangoky, which chronicles his expedition to paddle the length of Madagascar's longest river. Oscar shares how a “random” decision to take a teaching job in Sudan changed the entire direction of his life, sparking a 20-year journey living, working, and traveling across 35 African countries. He opens up about misconceptions that keep travelers away from places like Angola, Equatorial Guinea, and Madagascar — and why those stereotypes are outdated and unfair. Oscar also tells the full story behind the Mangoky expedition: navigating bureaucratic obstacles, trekking through remote mountain ranges, facing immense portages due to rapids and croc-filled canyons, and hiking for nine days without water resupply. With satellite maps from the 1980s, confusing tributaries, and no agreed-upon “official” river source, finding where to start the expedition was an adventure in itself. Through this intense journey, Oscar reflects on resilience, teamwork, risk, and why community support — not macho heroics — is what makes expeditions succeed. The episode also highlights Oscar's charity work supporting Malagasy children in rural education.

In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I'm speaking directly to the men who are walking through the intensity of high conflict divorce — the pressure, the triggers, the confusion, and the deep internal unraveling that often comes with it. Men in high conflict divorce are asked to hold an extraordinary amount: to respond instead of react, to stay grounded when provoked, and to lead even when everything around them feels uncertain. And while I coach men through these challenges every single day, I also know that some truths land more powerfully when they come from another man who embodies the discipline, steadiness, and intentional leadership required to rise during divorce. That's why I invited Michael Holt, founder of the international Savage & Saint Collective, to join me for this conversation. Michael has dedicated his life to helping men reclaim emotional sovereignty, cultivate presence, and embody a form of masculine leadership that is rooted in clarity rather than chaos. His work blends meditation, martial arts, psychology, holistic health, and serious inner discipline — and it aligns deeply with what I teach men navigating high conflict divorce: that the real power lies not in controlling others, but in mastering yourself. Michael and I explore the patterns that keep men stuck in reactivity during divorce and the internal shifts required to break those cycles. We talk about the cost of abandoning your center, how quickly men give away their power when triggered, and what it takes to stay grounded when you feel attacked, misunderstood, or overwhelmed. Michael offers a male perspective on strength that doesn't rely on force, suppression, or avoidance, but instead comes from presence, vitality, and self-awareness — qualities that become essential when the stakes are high and the conflict feels relentless. Together, we dig into the difference between reactive masculinity and embodied leadership, and why men who learn to regulate their nervous system and stay anchored in who they are gain far more influence — not just in their divorce, but in their lives, relationships, and fatherhood. We discuss how men can cultivate discipline, stability, and clarity even in the middle of legal battles, emotional turmoil, and the dismantling of a marriage. This is the kind of conversation that gives men direction, grounding, and a roadmap for showing up as the man they want to be, not the man the conflict tries to turn them into. Michael Holt is a powerful example of what it looks like to live the work rather than talk about it. His Savage & Saint Collective supports men around the world in strengthening their inner foundation so they can show up with integrity, courage, and calm — exactly what is needed in high conflict divorce. If you're a man navigating divorce and you've been searching for guidance from someone who truly understands the internal journey you're on, this episode will offer the clarity and steadiness you've been craving. This is about reclaiming yourself, rebuilding your center, and stepping into the kind of leadership that can change the trajectory of your life.

AI Assisted Coding: Treating AI Like a Junior Engineer - Onboarding Practices for AI Collaboration In this special episode, Sergey Sergyenko, CEO of Cybergizer, shares his practical framework for AI-assisted development built on transactional models, Git workflows, and architectural conventions. He explains why treating AI like a junior engineer, keeping commits atomic, and maintaining rollback strategies creates production-ready code rather than just prototypes. Vibecoding: An Automation Design Instrument "I would define Vibecoding as an automation design instrument. It's not a tool that can deliver end-to-end solution, but it's like a perfect set of helping hands for a person who knows what they need to do." Sergey positions vibecoding clearly: it's not magic, it's an automation design tool. The person using it must know what they need to accomplish—AI provides the helping hands to execute that vision faster. This framing sets expectations appropriately: AI speeds up development significantly, but it's not a silver bullet that works without guidance. The more you practice vibecoding, the better you understand its boundaries. Sergey's definition places vibecoding in the evolution of development tools: from scaffolding to co-pilots to agentic coding to vibecoding. Each step increases automation, but the human architect remains essential for providing direction, context, and validation. Pair Programming with the Machine "If you treat AI as a junior engineer, it's very easy to adopt it. Ah, okay, maybe we just use the old traditions, how we onboard juniors to the team, and let AI follow this step." One of Sergey's most practical insights is treating AI like a junior engineer joining your team. This mental model immediately clarifies roles and expectations. You wouldn't let a junior architect your system or write all your tests—so why let AI? Instead, apply existing onboarding practices: pair programming, code reviews, test-driven development, architectural guidance. This approach leverages Extreme Programming practices that have worked for decades. The junior engineer analogy helps teams understand that AI needs mentorship, clear requirements, and frequent validation. Just as you'd provide a junior with frameworks and conventions to follow, you constrain AI with established architectural patterns and framework conventions like Ruby on Rails. The Transactional Model: Atomic Commits and Rollback "When you're working with AI, the more atomic commits it delivers, more easy for you to kind of guide and navigate it through the process of development." Sergey's transactional approach transforms how developers work with AI. Instead of iterating endlessly when something goes wrong, commit frequently with atomic changes, then rollback and restart if validation fails. Each commit should be small, independent, and complete—like a feature flag you can toggle. The commit message includes the prompt sequence used to generate the code and rollback instructions. This approach makes the Git repository the context manager, not just the AI's memory. When you need to guide AI, you can reference specific commits and their context. This mirrors trunk-based development practices where teams commit directly to master with small, verified changes. The cost of rollback stays minimal because changes are atomic, making this strategy far more efficient than trying to fix broken implementations through iteration. Context Management: The Weak Point and the Solution "Managing context and keeping context is one of the weak points of today's coding agents, therefore we need to be very mindful in how we manage that context for the agent." Context management challenges current AI coding tools—they forget, lose thread, or misinterpret requirements over long sessions. Sergey's solution is embedding context within the commit history itself. Each commit links back to the specific reasoning behind that code: why it was accepted, what iterations it took, and how to undo it if needed. This creates a persistent context trail that survives beyond individual AI sessions. When starting new features, developers can reference previous commits and their context to guide the AI. The transactional model doesn't just provide rollback capability—it creates institutional memory that makes AI progressively more effective as the codebase grows. TDD 2.0: Humans Write Tests, AI Writes Code "I would never allow AI to write the test. I would do it by myself. Still, it can write the code." Sergey is adamant about roles: humans write tests, AI writes implementation code. This inverts traditional TDD slightly—instead of developers writing tests then code, they write tests and AI writes the code to pass them. Tests become executable requirements and prompts. This provides essential guardrails: AI can iterate on implementation until tests pass, but it can't redefine what "passing" means. The tests represent domain knowledge, business requirements, and validation criteria that only humans should control. Sergey envisions multi-agent systems where one agent writes code while another validates with tests, but critically, humans author the original test suite. This TDD 2.0 framework (a talk Sergey gave at the Global Agile Summit) creates a verification mechanism that prevents the biggest anti-pattern: coding without proper validation. The Two Cardinal Rules: Architecture and Verification "I would never allow AI to invent architecture. Writing AI agentic coding, Vibecoding, whatever coding—without proper verification and properly setting expectations of what you want to get as a result—that's the main mistake." Sergey identifies two non-negotiables. First, never let AI invent architecture. Use framework conventions (Rails, etc.) to constrain AI's choices. Leverage existing code generators and scaffolding. Provide explicit architectural guidelines in planning steps. Store iteration-specific instructions where AI can reference them. The framework becomes the guardrails that prevent AI from making structural decisions it's not equipped to make. Second, always verify AI output. Even if you don't want to look at code, you must validate that it meets requirements. This might be through tests, manual review, or automated checks—but skipping verification is the fundamental mistake. These two rules—human-defined architecture and mandatory verification—separate successful AI-assisted development from technical debt generation. Prototype vs. Production: Two Different Workflows "When you pair as an architect or a really senior engineer who can implement it by himself, but just wants to save time, you do the pair programming with AI, and the AI kind of ships a draft, and rapid prototype." Sergey distinguishes clearly between prototype and production development. For MVPs and rapid prototypes, a senior architect pairs with AI to create drafts quickly—this is where speed matters most. For production code, teams add more iterative testing and polishing after AI generates initial implementation. The key is being explicit about which mode you're in. The biggest anti-pattern is treating prototype code as production-ready without the necessary validation and hardening steps. When building production systems, Sergey applies the full transactional model: atomic commits, comprehensive tests, architectural constraints, and rollback strategies. For prototypes, speed takes priority, but the architectural knowledge still comes from humans, not AI. The Future: AI Literacy as Mandatory "Being a software engineer and trying to get a new job, it's gonna be a mandatory requirement for you to understand how to use AI for coding. So it's not enough to just be a good engineer." Sergey sees AI-assisted coding literacy becoming as fundamental as Git proficiency. Future engineering jobs will require demonstrating effective AI collaboration, not just traditional coding skills. We're reaching good performance levels with AI models—now the challenge is learning to use them efficiently. This means frameworks and standardized patterns for AI-assisted development will emerge and consolidate. Approaches like AAID, SpecKit, and others represent early attempts to create these patterns. Sergey expects architectural patterns for AI-assisted development to standardize, similar to how design patterns emerged in object-oriented programming. The human remains the bottleneck—for domain knowledge, business requirements, and architectural guidance—but the implementation mechanics shift heavily toward AI collaboration. Resources for Practitioners "We are reaching a good performance level of AI models, and now we need to guide it to make it impactful. It's a great tool, now we need to understand how to make it impactful." Sergey recommends Obie Fernandez's work on "Patterns of Application Development Using AI," particularly valuable for Ruby and Rails developers but applicable broadly. He references Andrey Karpathy's original vibecoding post and emphasizes Extreme Programming practices as foundational. The tools he uses—Cursor and Claude Code—support custom planning steps and context management. But more important than tools is the mindset: we have powerful AI capabilities now, and the focus must shift to efficient usage patterns. This means experimenting with workflows, documenting what works, and sharing patterns with the community. Sergey himself shares case studies on LinkedIn and travels extensively speaking about these approaches, contributing to the collective learning happening in real-time.

Unlocking Global Talent and Founder Freedom: Insights from Sid Jashnani of RekruutoIn this episode, host Josh Elledge talks with Sid Jashnani, Founder of Rekruuto and certified EOS implementer, about how founders can reclaim their time, scale with confidence, and access high-performing global talent. Sid shares his personal leadership journey, his frameworks for effective delegation, and his expert perspective on hiring senior-level overseas professionals—revealing practical, repeatable systems founders can apply immediately.The Power of Global Hiring and Delegation for FoundersSid's story begins on the golf course with his 14-year-old son during a period of serious illness—an experience that reshaped how he leads both at home and in business. Instead of defaulting to advice or correction, Sid embraced curiosity, asking open-ended questions that encouraged deeper connection. This same leadership principle applies directly to business: when founders listen more and prescribe less, teams become empowered, engaged, and more accountable.Sid also challenges the common belief that overseas hiring should be limited to entry-level roles. Drawing from his experience in the Philippines, he explains why many mid- and senior-level professionals abroad bring global expertise, strong process orientation, and cultural adaptability—making them strong fits for operations, marketing, finance, and management roles within EOS-driven companies. With proper onboarding and context-sharing, these hires integrate seamlessly and provide exceptional value at a fraction of the cost.To help founders free themselves from burnout and low-value tasks, Sid offers his four-quadrant time audit: a simple but powerful system for categorizing activities based on skill and enjoyment. By identifying tasks you are good at but dislike—or those you neither enjoy nor do well—leaders can delegate strategically, reinvesting their energy into high-impact work that drives revenue, growth, and clarity.About Sid JashnaniSid Jashnani is the Founder of Rekruuto, a global hiring agency specializing in matching U.S. companies with senior-level talent from overseas.
