Roland Ligtenberg is the Co-founder and SVP of Growth & Innovation at Housecall Pro, a leading vertical SaaS platform that empowers home service professionals to manage and grow their businesses more efficiently. Under Roland's leadership, Housecall Pro has scaled to serve over 100,000 home service professionals, powering tens of billions of dollars in gross merchandise volume, and pioneering the use of AI team members to streamline operations for its customers. In this episode… What if the people keeping our homes running could grow their businesses without burning out on paperwork and missed calls? And what if AI wasn't about replacing jobs, but about giving small, hands-on entrepreneurs a real edge in a world that keeps demanding more from them? According to Roland Ligtenberg, a longtime builder of technology for real-world problems, the answer lies in using AI as a set of practical teammates rather than shiny experiments. He believes blue collar business owners shouldn't have to choose between doing the work they love and managing the back office chaos that comes with growth. When AI can answer phones, track finances, and surface insights the same way a seasoned assistant would, it frees owners to focus on jobs, customers, and building wealth that lasts. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Roland Ligtenberg, Co-founder and SVP of Growth & Innovation at Housecall Pro, about harnessing AI to empower blue collar entrepreneurs. They discuss how AI "team members" help home service businesses handle more demand, why mobile-first software was critical for trades, and how technology can remove hiring bottlenecks. Roland also gives advice on building a mission-driven company that stays meaningful as it scales.

Dan Fay serves as Chief Distribution Officer, overseeing Stadion's sales and business development teams. In this role, he is responsible for distribution through Stadion's institutional relationships, which include retirement recordkeeping partners, retirement advisor firms, and asset managers. With Dan's leadership, Stadion has expanded our nationwide distribution of retirement managed accounts and raised awareness of the benefits of personalization. Prior to being Chief Distribution Officer, he was Stadion's SVP, Sales and Business Development. Dan has spent his entire 25+ year career in the retirement industry. Prior to joining Stadion in 2018, Dan served as Senior Advisor Relations Manager at Financial Engines with responsibility for establishing and managing relationships with leading financial advisor and consulting firms.

Prior to that, Dan was a National Accounts Manager with responsibility for business development at MassMutual Retirement Services. While there, he developed retirement plan opportunities and sales through financial advisor firms. In this episode, Eric and Dan Fay discuss:Recognizing the value of true personalizationStrengthening participant confidence through guidanceEvaluating solutions with a fiduciary mindsetLeveraging managed accounts as a strategic advantageKey Takeaways:Personalized allocations built on multiple data points lead to better decisions than age-based defaults. They guide participants toward healthier savings habits and steadier long-term outcomes.When participants feel supported, they make calmer, wiser financial choices. This confidence often leads to higher contribution rates and more consistent engagement.Committees must review fees, reporting, demographics, and engagement regularly. Documenting decisions ensures a strong, compliant process that protects participants.Advisors who bring personalized solutions early reinforce trust and stay ahead of competitors. Proactive education becomes a distinct advantage in maintaining strong client relationships.“For the advisor, it's, how do you differentiate yourself, right, from your competition?... If that competing advisor makes [the sponsor] aware of something or brings something of value to them that you haven't, that could obviously jeopardize that client relationship.” - Dan FayConnect with Dan Fay:Website: www.stadionmoney.com Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

SVP and Stanford Steve are back to break down all the action from Week 16 of the NFL season. Starting with a convincing win by the 49ers over the Colts on MNF, can the Niners really make a Super Bowl run?

Dr. Mark Grether, SVP & General Manager, PayPal, unpacks how PayPal is reshaping commerce media by leveraging its transaction graph across 30 million merchants and 400 million consumers at Marketecture Live. From democratizing retail media for SMBs to monetizing Venmo's social feed and enabling agentic commerce with trusted payments, this conversation explores why PayPal sits at the center of advertising, AI, and the future of buying online. Takeaways PayPal's transaction graph spans 30 million merchants and 400 million consumers, giving it a horizontal view that powers audience targeting, market share insights, and closed-loop measurement. The new SMB Ads Manager unifies demand and supply so smaller merchants can both buy previously unreachable audiences and monetize their own site traffic. Venmo's social feed and Gen Z heavy user base create high demand, upper funnel ad inventory tied to real spending behavior and cultural signals like emoji usage. Honey contributes large-scale intent and catalog visibility, letting PayPal connect discovery to checkout and measure impact even for off-site channels like CTV. In agentic commerce, PayPal aims to be the trust and payments layer that reduces friction while humans still make emotional final decisions.

Straight from re:Invent 2025, technology leaders from C3 AI, nCino, New Relic and Vercel reveal learnings, best practices and predictions for the future of Agentic AI.Topics Include:Four technology executives introduce their companies' AI innovations in fintech, cloud, enterprise software, and observability.Vercel built agents for code reviews, infrastructure optimization, and across finance, sales, and support functions.C3.ai deploys enterprise AI applications from scratch to production in six months for Fortune 500s.New Relic provides observability for AI systems and built agents that resolve infrastructure issues in real-time.Vercel's agents improve code quality by incorporating security and framework best practices into AI-generated output.C3.ai partnered with Department of Defense to autonomously produce mission-critical intelligence assessment reports from data.Industry shifted from copilots everywhere to agents that actually own outcomes and land the plane.New Relic moved beyond natural language translation to agents that execute actions and resolve issues autonomously.Panel debates whether Model Context Protocol or broader ecosystem approaches better enable agent interoperability and communication.Autonomy requires accountability: agent decisions must be explainable with traceable steps and replay capabilities built-in.Governance and security should be prerequisites for acceleration, not impediments—a critical mental model shift needed.Many enterprises struggle with process bottlenecks preventing them from harnessing high-quality agents despite having technology.Financial services must carefully balance where human discretion remains essential versus where agent autonomy justified.Will Jung envisions deeply continuous context enabling banks to deliver truly personalized insights without appearing creepy.Suraj Krishnan predicts agents will own outcomes by 2026, coordinating tools and other agents to achieve goals.Participants:Panelist: Merel Witteveen, SVP of Operations, C3.aiPanelist: Will Jung, Chief Technology Officer, nCinoPanelist: Suraj Krishnan, GVP of Engineering, New RelicPanelist: Aparna Sinha, Senior Vice President, Product, VercelModerator: Olawale Oladehin, Managing Director, NAMER Technology Segments (Enterprise, ISV, DNB, and Model Providers), Amazon Web ServicesSee how Amazon Web Services gives you the freedom to migrate, innovate, and scale your software company at https://aws.amazon.com/isv/

Der Ständerat hat das Sparprogramm zusammengestrichen –auch mit Hilfe der SVP: Sie hat Kürzungen bei den Bauern. Wie lassen sich so die Armee-Aufrüstung und die AHV finanzieren? Fällt nun die Schuldenbremse? Kritische Fragen an die führende SVP-Finanzpolitikerin im Ständerat, Esther Friedli. Sparen ja, aber nicht bei der eigenen Klientel: So könnte man das Verhalten der SVP-Ständeräte beschreiben. Sie haben Kürzungen bei Bauern, bei der Regionalpolitik und bei Anliegen der Landbevölkerung verhindert. Insgesamt hat der Ständerat das Sparprogramm des Bundesrats um ein Drittel gestutzt – nun droht innert drei Jahren ein Loch von über zwei Milliarden Franken. Wie glaubwürdig ist die SVP in der Spardebatte? Die Finanzpolitikerin und Ständerätin Esther Friedli nimmt Stellung. Die Sparübung soll vor allem Geld freischaufeln für die 13. AHV-Rente und für die Aufrüstung der Schweizer Armee. Jetzt, da das Ziel verfehlt werden dürfte: Welche mehrheitsfähigen Alternativen hat die wählerstärkste Partei, die SVP? Erste Ständeräte der SVP reden bereits von einer Aufweichung der Schuldenbremse – oder genauer: Sie wollen Armee-Milliarden an der Schuldenbremse vorbei aufbringen. Finanzpolitikerin Friedli und die Parteispitze wollten davon bislang nichts wissen – wie lange können sie diese Position halten? Ebenfalls Thema in der Sendung ist die SVP-Initiative gegen eine 10-Millionen-Schweiz. Vertreter der Mitte-Partei und der FDP haben diese Woche im Ständerat für weniger weit gehende Gegenvorschläge gekämpft – ohne Erfolg. Auch die SVP will nichts davon wissen. Weshalb eigentlich? Geht es ihr gar nicht so sehr um eine Lösung für Zuwanderung, wie ihr die ihre Gegner vorwerfen? SVP-Ständerätin Esther Friedli ist Gast bei Dominik Meier. Ergänzend zum «Tagesgespräch» finden Sie jeden Samstag in unserem Kanal die aktuelle «Samstagsrundschau.

Maximal zehn Millionen Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner soll die Schweiz bis 2050 haben. Das fordert die SVP in der Nachhaltigkeits-Initiative. Bundesrat Beat Jans will die Initiative verhindern. Wie? Die eidgenössischen Räte empfehlen dem Stimmvolk ein Nein zur Volksinitiative «Keine 10-Millionen-Schweiz» der SVP. Wie der Nationalrat lehnt auch der Ständerat das Volksbegehren ab, das die Zuwanderung beschränken will. Federführend im Abstimmungskampf ist Justizminister Beat Jans. Wie viele Menschen verträgt die Schweiz denn? Und: Steigende Mieten und überfüllte Autobahnen sind Sorgen der Bevölkerung. Nimmt er das genügend ernst? Beat Jans ist zu Gast bei David Karasek.

Year-end doesn't “arrive” in nonprofits so much as it ambushes us. And that's exactly why this conversation with John Tiso, VP of Revenue and Service Delivery at JMT Consulting, and Buu Lình Tran, SVP of Financial Solutions at JMT Consulting, feels like a shot of espresso for your finance, accounting, and operations leadership.Host Julia C. Patrick frames the real business challenge: you're not only closing the books you're leading humans through a high-pressure stretch where accuracy, speed, and collaboration all collide. Buu Lìnn makes the case that strong leadership is less about pushing harder and more about supporting smarter: assess what your staff truly needs, invest in process improvement, and use technology intentionally to make work easier and outcomes stronger.John brings the mindset shift that separates “we survived year end” from “we built capacity for next year.” Organizations that resist change until it's unavoidable end up reacting at the worst possible moment. His blunt truth is the most liberating: “Get ahead of it and you'll be soaring high.” That applies to financial operations, system adoption, and the way leaders set expectations for learning.A standout takeaway: training can't be a one-and-done event. Repetition matters and Buu Lình offers a practical solution: short, reusable “refresh” videos that staff will actually watch, plus an easy onboarding asset when roles change midstream.Then the conversation turns to the big nonprofit efficiency leak: fundraising and finance teams operating with separate data, separate definitions, and a quiet trust gap. The fix is proactive alignment deciding now what data you'll need later, naming data owners, and building a unified approach so teams stop competing and start collaborating.Finally, they zoom out to strategic tech leadership: someone must serve as the connector across departments, guiding decisions so systems and data work together instead of multiplying confusion. Bottom line: year-end leadership is not paperwork it's performance architecture!!#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitLeadership #NonprofitFinanceFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In this special episode, host Cindi Howson pulls together the most useful, and hard-won, lessons from a year of conversations with Data Chiefs leading the GenAI charge. With generative and agentic AI no longer a side experiment, this episode spotlights five practices early adopters can rely on to move from pilots to profit. Expect straight talk on what to prioritize, how to bring people with you, and how to scale AI with the trust, literacy, and guardrails that make impact stick.Key Moments:Tying AI to Real Dollars with Anand Iyer, Ecolab (02:10): Anand cuts through the GenAI FOMO and brings everything back to a simple survival test: if you can't draw a straight line from an AI initiative to top-line growth or bottom-line savings, it won't last. His lesson is a sharp reminder that “cool” doesn't scale, value does. Leading Through Ambiguity with Karen Stroup, WEX (06:01): Karen names what everyone's feeling: ambiguity is paralyzing. She explains how leaders earn trust by shrinking the unknown into learnable, bite-sized experiments and creating the psychological safety people need to engage instead of resist.Building Practical AI Literacy at Scale with Josh Cunningham, Lloyds Banking Group (12:42):  Josh shares how Lloyds Banking Group makes literacy impactful by meeting people where they are. Rather than one-size-fits-all training, they pair broad fundamentals with role-specific learning so every business unit can build confidence in ways that match their actual work. Scaling Responsible Agentic AI with Noelle Russell, AI Leadership Institute (25:09): Noelle steps in with a practical framework for building agentic systems that don't go rogue. She walks through the POET framework and stresses that responsible AI isn't a final checkpoint. It's something you embed from the first idea to production, with guardrails that protect people and outcomes.Embedding AI Where Work Happens with Ilan Twig, Navan (32:35): Ilan tells a classic early-adopter story: start with a business problem, move fast, and be ruthless about what needs building versus buying. His lesson is that AI wins when it's inside the workflow, supporting decisions at the point of impact rather than living in a separate tool. Don't Let Perfection Stall Progress with Ketan Karkhanis, ThoughtSpot (40:59): Ketan shares a culture gut-check: waiting for perfect metrics, perfect KPIs, or perfect clarity is how progress dies. He argues for visible, trust-building iteration, because in AI, speed to learning beats speed to certainty. Key Quotes:“One thing that people sometimes forget is that at the end of the day, it's all about are we either saving money or making money? And are you able to show that in the bottom line or the top line in a measurable way?” - Anand Iyer“I don't think there's any chief anything officer that should not be considering AI today. I think if you're not considering AI, you are at the risk of being disrupted because you're not going to be learning at the pace with the rest of the industry, and there's someone out there looking for a better way.” - Karen Stroup“It's trying your best to meet people where they are… Finding a way to anchor the [AI] learning to something that's relevant to their day-to-day role is always going to make it land better.” - Josh Cunningham“ When people lose 70% of their trust in you, they just don't buy from you, they don't work for you, they don't talk about you… and your business starts to die. I think that trust component is a human component… and it is underpinning all the other philosophies that I have.” - Noelle Russell“When you asked me about how to educate yourself on AI, I think that companies must make a decision, and quickly, this or that.” - Ilan Twig“ Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress.” - Ketan KarkhanisGuest Bios Anand IyerAnand Iyer is the SVP, Chief Data Officer at Ecolab, where he leads the company's global data and analytics strategy.

About Heather Grey:Heather Grey is a healthcare operator and commercial leader who has spent two decades inside the machinery of pharma, life sciences, and clinical research—seeing firsthand where trials break down and why execution matters more than ideas. As SVP and General Manager of Real-World Data and Clinical Trials at Omega Healthcare, she leads CurateIQ, which focuses on transforming messy, fragmented clinical data into FDA-grade assets that accelerate trials, support AI, and expand research beyond academic centers. Before Omega, she held senior leadership roles at Tempus AI, where she built and scaled clinical trial and RWD commercial operations, and at Optum Life Sciences, driving sales and client development across pharma and health systems. Her career spans everything from operating room work to frontline pharma sales to executive leadership, giving her a rare, end-to-end view of how science, data, and operations collide in the real world, and why clean data and operational discipline, not hype, determine whether innovation actually reaches patients.Things You'll Learn: Clinical trials fail primarily due to operational breakdowns, such as delayed data entry, poor site readiness, and missed timelines, rather than flawed science.Most healthcare data exists in an unstructured and unusable state, making human-led curation essential for generating regulatory-grade insights and training AI.AI should amplify clinical expertise, not replace it, because accuracy and trust depend on continuous human quality assurance.The lack of infrastructure prevents 88% of health systems and most community centers from offering clinical trials.Expanding trials into community settings is crucial for enhancing access, diversity, and the real-world relevance of research.Resources:Connect with and follow Heather Grey on LinkedIn.Follow Omega Healthcare on LinkedIn and visit their website.Email Heather directly here.

Are we finally treating water risk like a board-level issue, rather than a line item that only shows up when something breaks?   In this episode, I'm joined by Emilio Tenuta, SVP and Chief Sustainability Officer at Ecolab, to unpack why water has become a strategic variable for business, right alongside energy and carbon. Ecolab works with customers across more than 40 industries in more than 170 countries, so Emilio has a front row seat to how quickly the conversation is changing.   Why water risk feels different in 2025 One of the most useful parts of this conversation is how Emilio frames water as "hyperlocal." A company can publish a global target, but the real pressure shows up basin by basin, site by site, community by community.   We also discuss the misconception that water is primarily an operational concern. The knock-on effects show up in uptime, expansion plans, permitting, reputation, and the social license to operate.   Emilio points to disclosure data that puts real money behind the issue. CDP has estimated water-related supply chain risks at $77 billion across responding companies, which helps explain why boards are paying closer attention.   Where AI meets water and energy   AI is a catalyst in two directions at once. It can help organizations measure, predict, and reduce waste, but it also drives demand for more data centers, more power, and more cooling.   We examine the tension many people are whispering about: building digital capacity in places already facing water stress. Emilio's view is pragmatic: the answer is responsible innovation, coupled with transparency on how water is used and how impacts are managed.   That takes us into Ecolab's push toward digital visibility and real-time control, because you cannot improve what you cannot see.   From "site to chip" cooling and smarter stewardship   Emilio shares that Ecolab's 3D TRASAR Technology for direct-to-chip liquid cooling is designed to protect high-performance servers by monitoring coolant health indicators in real time and translating that data into actionable steps for operators.   We also discuss what happens when AI is applied to the water side of the data center equation. Ecolab and Digital Realty have described a pilot across 35 US data centers to reduce water use by up to 15% and avoid up to 126 million gallons of potable water withdrawn annually.   To round things out, we discuss circularity as a business strategy, the role of collaboration through efforts like the Water Resilience Coalition, and why Ecolab's Watermark Study is worth reading if you want a pulse check on water stewardship and public sentiment.   So after listening, where do you land on the big question: is AI going to become a stress test for local water systems, or a tool that finally helps us run them better, and why?

Sarah Rahall-Lunsford, the visionary behind Centered Strategies Consulting, joins us to share her unexpected leap from marketing to sales and business development. Her journey began with a simple piece of advice that transformed her approach, leading her to success in helping companies translate their expertise into effective sales strategies, particularly in professional services. Sarah's insights into understanding client needs and matching them with the right solutions frame sales as a service, emphasizing continuous improvement and the power of clear communication to truly stand out.  Our conversation with Sarah explores the fundamentals of effective marketing strategies that enable businesses to differentiate themselves in a saturated market. By honing in on what clients truly want and employing storytelling to highlight the unique benefits of their offerings, businesses can create a memorable impression. We focus on the vital role of data analysis for businesses navigating growth, as understanding trends and improving hit rates can significantly enhance competitiveness and better manage constraints.  Lastly, we dive into optimizing CRM systems and the transformative role of AI. Sarah articulates the challenges businesses face with data management and CRM implementation, advocating for streamlined processes that make data actionable. We discuss the integration of AI tools like Google Gemini and Copilot for Sales, which act as virtual assistants to improve productivity and engagement. Sarah shares her experiences using AI for efficient note-taking and data analysis, offering valuable insights for those looking to leverage AI in their business strategies.  Sarah Rahall-Lunsford brings over 20 years of experience driving business growth through pragmatic, consensus-driven strategies in business development and marketing. She has held senior leadership roles, including Director of Sales and Marketing for an international home furnishings brand and SVP of Business Development for a $450M ENR Top 15 transportation firm.  Sarah has led successful capture planning programs with win rates over 50%, generating $1.5B in contracts over the past decade. She managed a 20-person BD coordinator team, developed training programs, and helped build a national M&A strategy—from research and reporting to strategic intent presentations.  She holds a master's degree in organizational communication from Pepperdine University, where she led the Speech Laboratory, and a bachelor's in communication with a journalism minor from Butler University, where she also directed the Speaker's Lab.    Quotes:  On the Role of Marketing: "In a saturated market, standing out means truly connecting with decision-makers and focusing on what clients want to buy, not just what we want to sell."  On Data Management: "Companies often get trapped in a cycle of maintaining the status quo with CRM systems. It's essential to streamline processes and focus on making data actionable."  Integrating AI Tools: "AI tools like Google Gemini and Copilot for Sales are transforming CRM by acting as virtual assistants, improving productivity and engagement."  Navigating Growth Constraints: "Understanding trends and improving hit rates can significantly enhance competitiveness, helping businesses manage growth constraints more effectively."  On CRM Systems: "A CRM should work for the user, not against them.

Commercial banks are confronting a rapidly shifting landscape as private credit markets grow toward $3.5 trillion and fintech competitors accelerate their offerings with AI-powered tools. Rather than retreating, traditional institutions are doubling down on technology investments and reimagining their commercial lending strategies to compete in this new environment. "Banks are not short-term thinkers," says Héctor Pagés, SVP and Head of Global Commercial Lending at FIS. "We're not seeing a slowdown in terms of interest or investment from our institutions, in terms of advancing and changing the ways that they're working." The response from banks has been multifaceted, according to Pagés. Some retail-focused institutions are shifting resources toward commercial lending, while smaller commercial banks are expanding into more complex lending products. Others are adopting an "originate to distribute" model, partnering with private credit firms to spread risk while generating fee income. This strategic evolution is happening against a backdrop of regulatory uncertainty, tariff fluctuations, and the continued expansion of non-bank lenders into territory traditionally dominated by banks. Listen to the podcast to learn about how banks are transforming their commercial lending operations through unified technology platforms, the role of AI in automating credit decisions and underwriting processes, and why cloud infrastructure is becoming essential for global scalability.
