We've all heard the hype about AI, but what's actually happening behind the scenes? In this episode, Blythe breaks down two major studies that reveal how marketers are really using AI tools, where they're struggling, and what's coming next. If you're trying to figure out what to adopt (and what to ignore), this episode offers a blueprint for smart AI integration without the slop. Key takeaways: Only 17% of marketing teams have fully integrated AI into their workflows. 65% of marketers say research and ideation are still the most time-consuming tasks. You can use anonymized meeting notes to supercharge FAQ pages and ad campaigns. Tools like Grok and ChatGPT Projects have helped reduce research time from 6 hours to 2. AI is best used as a co-pilot, not the sole driver of your content strategy.Note: In this episode, Blythe references "Gemma" a lot. Like, a lot, a lot. But it's actually GAMMA.

In this episode of In the Balance, co-hosts Phil Tarrant from SPI and Munzurul Khan from KHI Partners are joined by managing director of KHI Insurance Services, Rochelle Kettles, to unpack the critical but often overlooked role of insurance in property investment and business operations. The trio highlights how insurance, though often overlooked, is essential for property investors and business owners, with Rochelle explaining the distinctions between insurers, underwriters, and brokers. A major point is the danger of underinsuring properties, especially given rising construction costs and evolving building codes, with Munzurul sharing a personal story about underinsurance, reinforcing the need for regular policy reviews. The conversation then expands into business insurance, with Rochelle pointing to the growing relevance of management liability insurance due to rising occupational health and safety claims and the rise of cyber insurance. The episode also underscores the value of working with knowledgeable brokers who can provide guidance and advocate during claims. For investors and business owners, the takeaway is clear: insurance should be proactive, not reactive.

Most freight tech stacks are a tangled mess of tools that don't talk to each other. Ezequiel Peralta, VP of Technology at SPI Logistics, is working to fix that. This episode strips away the hype and digs into what it really takes to build functional, secure, and scalable freight systems. Peralta shares how SPI is moving beyond the TMS-first mindset by introducing a flexible integration layer, leveraging AI to reduce email chaos, and automating back-office tasks without sidelining the people who matter most. Freight leaders looking to create tech that works for humans, not the other way around, will get a lot out of this one.Key Takeaways: Freight tech success depends on modeling your business process before adopting any tool. SPI Logistics is moving beyond the TMS as the tech stack centerpiece with a dedicated integration layer. AI tools are only valuable when paired with structured data and business-aligned goals. Automation is transforming back-office operations, reducing manual tasks for better auditing and analysis. Everyone—not just IT—must be involved in managing freight fraud and data security.LINKS:Eze's LinkedInSPI Freight Agent ProgramSPI on CargoRexWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?

Barges move over 70 percent of U.S. grain and can carry the equivalent of 4,000 truckloads with a single tugboat. Yet this massive freight channel has remained invisible to most supply chains due to outdated systems and zero visibility. In this episode, OpenTug CEO Jason Aristides shares how his team is digitizing barge and tug operations with GPS tracking, AI-powered automation, and a modern marketplace experience. By unlocking real-time visibility and booking capabilities, OpenTug is helping shippers tap into a cleaner and more efficient way to move freight across America's 12,000 miles of inland waterways. Key takeaways: Barges are one of the most fuel-efficient and underused freight modes in North America A single barge move can replace thousands of truckloads with a fraction of the labor OpenTug brings real-time GPS and predictive ETAs to an industry that ran on email chains Ports like New Orleans are investing heavily in container barge terminals More visibility and automation will help eliminate empty miles and reduce emissionsLINKS:Jason's LinkedInOpenTug's LinkedInOpenTug on CargoRexWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?

The freight market doesn't work the way most people think it does, and Chris Caplice is here to explain why. As the Chief Scientist at DAT Freight & Analytics and Executive Director of MIT's FreightLab, Chris has spent years studying the breakdowns in routing guides, the myth of economies of scale, and why AI isn't a magic bullet for bad freight strategy. In this episode, we're diving deep into how shippers, brokers, and carriers can use benchmarking and dynamic tools to build more resilient freight networks and avoid the common traps in RFP season. Key takeaways: Freight contracts often fail because they're built around ghost lanes that never move freight. AI works best when applied to unstructured transportation data, not generic pricing models. Dynamic routing guides and benchmarking tools help reduce failure points in traditional RFPs. Economies of scale don't really exist in truckload—scope and flexibility matter more. Smart freight strategy comes down to understanding your network's quirks, not copying someone else's.LINKS:Chris' LinkedInDAT Freight & Analytics WebsiteDAT Freight & Analytics on CargoRexWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?

In this episode of In the Balance, Phil Tarrant from SPI is joined by co-hosts Munzurul Khan from KHI Partners and Tyrone Dutt from KHI Estate Planning to discuss portfolio succession and estate planning. While many investors focus on acquiring assets, few think about what happens to their wealth when they're no longer around, often resulting in a large portion of assets being lost to taxes or distributed against their wishes. According to the KHI experts, a well-crafted estate plan includes a will, power of attorney, guardianship, and superannuation directives to ensure investors control their portfolio until the end. Tyrone also suggests that investors involve their families in the process, which helps avoid future disputes and builds financial literacy in the next generation. Although costs can range from $4,000 to $10,000, the KHI experts recommend that investors review their estate plans every two to three years or following major life changes to remain aligned with personal goals.

EYE ON NPI - Infineon Technologies PSOC Control C3 Microcontroller Line

This week's EYE ON NPI is Pretty Sweet Of Course! It's the Infineon Technologies PSOC Control C3 Microcontroller Line (https://www.digikey.com/short/8cw3wpp8) a souped-up microcontroller that is a perfect choice for engineers who need to do some motor control while also managing buttons, LEDs, displays, and other product requirements all on one chip. With a the high-speed ADCs on board, you can manage your BLDC motors and handle the feedback loop in firmware for dynamic tuning without the expense of a specialized co-processor. The PSOC Control C3 series comes in two flavors, the Entry and Main line chips (https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/microcontroller/32-bit-psoc-arm-cortex-microcontroller/32-bit-psoc-control-arm-cortex-m33-mcu/psoc-control-c3m/). Both are based on the Arm Cortex M33 which means you know that your CMSIS-based code will be an easy compile and you can use existing pre-compiled libraries. The M33 line is an upgrade to the M3 and M4, giving you the same or better clock speeds and FPU/DSP commands you get with the M4 plus TrustZone and better power efficiency. The Entry line runs at 100MHz, with max 256k Flash 64K SRAM, 10-bit DAC, a 6 MSPS 12-bit ADC, 16 x 16-bit + 4 x 32-bit TCPWMs and a "CORDIC math coprocessor". The Main line can run at 180MHz, same Flash/SRAM and TCPWMs, and has a 12 MSPS ADC plus 4-channel HRPWM with less than 100ps resolution. Both come in 48 and 64 pin TQFP/QFN varieties, the Main line also has an 80-pin version. (There will also apparently be a Performance line, so far un-announced, which may offer more memory / higher frequency). Both have FPU/DSP support, so you'll be able to process the 6 or 12-MSPS ADC data quickly. And the CORDIC processor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC) optimizes trig functions like sin/cos/tan/ln so you don't need lookup tables for performing these floating point calculations. These are particularly useful when handling motor motion calculations since they are often sinusoidal and we need to convert to-and-from the ADC measurements to the precision PWM timers. There's a huge selection of Arm processors out there, but the PSOC Control C3 has the best peripherals for motor control: it's rare to see 12MSPS 12-Bit ADC plus so many 16-bit and 32-bit timers with high-speed PWM. The CORDIC co-processor especially will make managing BLDC or Stepper motors a breeze. Plus you still get all the peripherals you would expect of a microcontroller: I2C, UART, SPI, CAN bus, DAC, IRQs, and lots of GPIO. That means you can handle all the other stuff your product has to do while also managing the motor in the background, saving you lots of space and money in BOM costs and fewer integration woes when trying to communicate between a main processor and a motor-control co-processor. The KITPSC3M5EVK eval board (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/infineon-technologies/KITPSC3M5EVK/25880112) is in stock right now if you want a ready-to-go kit at a good price. It comes with 'Arduino shield compatible" pinouts plus a USB / debug interface, and MikroBus connector for expansion. You can also pick up just the bare chip - for example the PSC3M5FDS2ACQ1AQSA1 (https://www.digikey.com/short/8cw3wpp8) is a fancy version with 256K of flash, the 12 Msps ADC, and hall encoder in a TQFP-64 package. It's in stock now at DigiKey for immediate shipment! Order today and you can have a powerful microcontroller with excellent motor feedback control in your hands by tomorrow morning.

„Spoločnosť chcem pretvárať zvnútra, necítim sa kompetentný verejne kritizovať vládu“, hovorí spišský biskup František Trstenský. Len pred pár dňami ale verejne „odprosoval“ za „niekedy nekritickú spoluprácu“ s mocnými“, skutočnosť, ktorú v odprosení označil „zahanbením“.Ležal na podlahe chladného chrámu, s bosými nohami, hlavou k zemi, vyzlečený zo slávnostného rúcha. Pred krížom, no i pred krajinou. Aby odprosoval, žiadal o odpustenie a robil tak cestu uzdraveniu vzťahov. Spišský biskup František Trstenský. Hovorí, že sa inšpiroval veľkým a bezprecedentným „mea culpa“ Jána Pavla II. spred štvrťstoročia. Ak to vtedy bolo aj za inkvizíciu, rozdelenia a schizmy, za zlyhania voči Židom či nespravodlivosť smerom k ženám, alebo zneužívanie moci, o čom bolo to aktuálne „mea culpa“ spod Tatier?Čo mal na mysli biskup Trstenský, keď odprosoval za „režimy“; za „pohŕdanie“ veriacimi? Ale rovnako, keď prosil, aby bol on i jeho kňazi schopní priznať si zlyhania? A nie je nepriznaným zlyhaním to dnešné ticho pred mocnými, ktorí unášajú krajinu smerom k agresorovi z Moskvy a z právneho štátu robia slúžku vlastných záujmov? „Spoločnosť chcem pretvárať zvnútra. Necítim sa kompetentný kritizovať vládu“, reaguje biskup Trstenský. „Korupcia je korupciou, ako agresor agresorom“, hovorí. Odmieta pritom, že by biskupi boli voči krokom vlády nekritickí ako výmenu za zachovanie štátneho modelu financovania cirkví.
