Your Monday morning recap where we catch you up on some of the channel news and trend headlines you may have missed in the last week. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca. Today is Monday, March 9, 2026. Let’s get your week started right. Ingram Micro closed out fiscal 2025 with some pretty strong numbers. The distributor reported fourth quarter net sales of just under $14.9 billion, up 11.5% year over year and above the high end of its guidance range. For the full year, net sales came in at $52.6 billion, up nearly 10%. The company attributed the growth to strong demand across its core distribution business, an uptick in cloud marketplace revenue, and continued traction from its Xvantage digital platform, which management now says drives “billions of dollars” in transacted revenue. But the detail that caught my attention is a word, not a figure. During the earnings call, Ingram introduced the name AgenTeq – T-E-Q, by the way – as its branding for its agentic AI capabilities within the Xvantage platform. AgenTeq encompasses over 400 AI and ML models that Ingram’s been building, including a tool called the Sales Brief Agent, which gives Ingram sales teams real-time AI-generated intelligence on partner and customer accounts to help uncover growth opportunities. And in a detail worth noting for this audience, the Sales Brief Agent was initially piloted here in Canada before its planned global rollout in the first half of this year. We’re still learning what AgenTeq means in practical terms for channel partners and it’s early days for the branding, but the combination of its financial results and the platform investment suggests Ingram is placing a very deliberate bet on AI-driven distribution. A story we’ll be following up very soon here on In The Channel. If you listened last week, you heard us lead with the component shortage story. Cisco rewriting partner contract terms, Lenovo warning of March price hikes, Western Digital’s entire 2026 production already spoken for. The situation has not gotten better. In fact, it’s getting worse and faster than most of us expected. Dell COO Jeff Clarke told analysts last week the company’s compressing discounting and that quotes are now valid for “the shortest period of time they’ve ever been.” HP’s CFO disclosed that memory costs have doubled in a single quarter and now represent about 35% of PC production costs, up from 15 to 18% a few months ago. And Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan says there’s no relief coming until 2028, a timeline backed by both SK Hynix and Micron. The takeaway for partners hasn’t changed from last week, but it’s more urgent now. Shorten your quote windows, have the pricing conversation with customers early, and assume that anything you quote today can and will cost more by the time it ships. Grab your helmet. Switching gears to something that doesn’t come up nearly enough. A new community initiative called MSP Well was formally launched this week at The Channel Company’s XChange conference in Orlando. MSP Well is a peer-support community dedicated to mental health and resilience among IT, MSP, and MSSP professionals. It was co-founded by Joe Ussia, CEO of Infinite IT Solutions, James Mignacca, CEO of Canadian vendor Cavelo, and Miguel Ribeiro of VBS IT Services. As Ussia put it, “the channel talks constantly about tools, threats, and uptime, but rarely about the human cost to the people doing the work.” MSP Well aims to change that, offering peer support, a Discord community, an anonymous call line, and partnerships with certified counsellors. It’s a meaningful initiative, and it’s something we’re looking forward to following up on here on In The Channel. And finally, ServiceNow says it has built an AI agent that’s now resolving 90% of inbound IT tickets on its own internal employee help desk. The system handles high-volume Level 1 issues like password resets, software access, VPN connectivity, and hardware troubleshooting, with resolution rates above 99% in those categories. When it gets stuck, it escalates rather than guessing. It’s an internal deployment for now, with general availability scheduled for the second half of the year. ServiceNow’s annual Knowledge conference takes place in May, and I’d expect we’ll hear a lot more about it there. Those are some of the things we were paying attention to last week. This week on In The Channel, we take a look at Check Point’s recent acquisition spree and how it all comes together with their chief strategy officer, Roi Karo. Sit down with frequent guest Tony Anscombe from ESET to talk about the current threat landscape. And break down the most meaningful findings of the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index report. I’m Robert Dutt for ChannelBuzz.ca. Have a great week!

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the AI Wars. Katie, you had some thoughts and some observations about the most recent things going on with Anthropic, with OpenAI, with Google XAI and stuff like that. So at the table, what’s going on? Katie Robbert: I don’t want to get too deep into the weeds about why people are jumping ship on OpenAI and moving toward the cloud. That’s in the news, it’s political, you can catch up on that. The short version is that decisions from the top at each of these companies have been made that people either agree with or don’t based on their own values and the values of their companies. When publicly traded companies make unpopular decisions that don’t align with the majority of their user base, people jump ship. They were like, okay, I don’t want to use you. We’ve seen it with Target and many other companies that made decisions people didn’t feel aligned with their personal values. Now we are seeing people abandoning OpenAI and signing on to Anthropic’s Claude. That’s what I wanted to chat about today because we talk a lot about business continuity and risk management. What happens when you get too closely tied to one piece of software and something goes wrong? We’ve talked about this on past episodes in theory because, up until now, software outages have generally been temporary. You don’t often see a mass exodus of a very popular piece of software that people have built their entire businesses around. Before we get into what this means for the end user and possible solutions, Chris, I would like to get your thoughts, maybe your cat’s thoughts on what’s going on. Christopher S. Penn: One of the things we’ve said from very early on in the AI space, because it changes so rapidly, is that brand loyalty to any vendor is generally a bad idea. If you were a hater of Google Bard—for good reason—Bard was a terrible model. If you said, I’m never going to touch another Google product again, you would have missed out on Gemini and Gemini 3 and 3.1, which is currently the top state‑of‑the‑art model. If you were all in on Claude, when Claude 2.1 and 2.5 came out and were terrible, you would have missed out on the current generation of Opus 4.6 and so on. Two things come to mind. One, brand loyalty in this space is very dangerous. It is dangerous in tech in general. Not to get too political, but the tech companies do not care about you, so there’s no reason to give them your loyalty. Second, as people start building agentic AI, you should think about abstraction layers. This concept dates back to the earliest days of computing: we never want to code directly against a model or an operating system. Instead we want an abstraction layer that separates our code from the machinery. It’s like an engine compartment in a car—you should be able to put in a new engine without ripping apart the entire car. If you do that well when building AI agents, when a new model comes along—regardless of political circumstances or news headlines—you can pull the old engine out, install the new one, and keep delivering the highest‑quality product. Katie Robbert: I don’t disagree with that, but that is not accessible to everybody, especially smaller businesses that view software like OpenAI or Google’s Gemini as desperately needed solutions. We’ve relied on Claude and Co‑Work, its desktop application, heavily. Over the weekend I realized how reliant I’ve become on it in the past two weeks. If it stopped working, what does that mean for the work I’m trying to move forward? That’s a huge concern because I don’t have the coding skills or resources to replicate it right now. What I’ve been doing in Co‑Work is because we’re limited on resources, but Co‑Work has advanced to the point where I can replicate what I would need if I hired a team of designers, developers, and marketers. It shook me to my core that this could go away. So what does that mean for me, the business owner, in the middle of multiple projects if I can’t access them? This morning Claude had an outage—unsurprisingly, the servers were overloaded because people are stepping away from OpenAI and moving into Claude. Claude released an ad: “Switch to Claude without starting over. Brief your preferences and context from other AI providers to Claude. With one copy‑paste, Claude updates its memory and picks up right where you left off. Memory is available on all paid plans.” For many people the ability to switch from one large language model to another felt like a barrier because everything built inside OpenAI couldn’t be transferred. Claude removed that barrier, opening the floodgates, and their servers were overloaded. Users who had been using the system regularly were like, what do you mean? I can’t get the work done I planned for this morning. Christopher S. Penn: There are two different answers depending on who you are. For you, Katie, as the CEO and my business partner, I would come over, say we’re going to learn Claude code, install the terminal application, and install Claude code router, which allows you to switch to any model from any provider so you can continue getting work done. Unfortunately, that isn’t a scalable option for everyone in our community. My suggestion for others is that it’s slightly harder but almost every major company has an environment where you can install a no‑code solution that provides at least some of those capabilities. Google’s is called Anti‑Gravity. OpenAI’s is called Codex. Alibaba’s can be used within tools like Client or Kil. If you have backed up your prompts and workflows, you can move them into other systems relatively painlessly. For example, Google’s Anti‑Gravity supports the skills format, so if you’ve built skills like the Co‑CEO, you can bring them into Anti‑Gravity. It’s not obvious, but you can port from one system to another relatively quickly. Katie Robbert: That brings us to the point that software fails—it’s just code. What is your backup plan if the system you’re heavily reliant on goes away? We’ve always said hypothetically, “if it goes away…,” and now we’re at that point. Not only are people leaving a major software provider, they are also struggling with switching costs. They’re struggling to bring their stuff over because everything lives within the system. A lot of people are building and not documenting, and that’s a problem. Christopher S. Penn: It is a problem. If you’ve been in the space for a while and understand the technology, backups and fallback systems have gotten incredibly good. About a month ago Alibaba released Quinn 3.5 in various sizes. The version that runs on a nice MacBook is really good—scary good. It’s about the equivalent of Gemini 3 Flash, the day‑to‑day model many folks use without realizing it. Having an open‑weights model you can install on a laptop that rivals state‑of‑the‑art as of three months ago is nuts. The challenge is that it’s not well documented, but it’s something we’ve been saying for two or three years: if you’re going all in on AI, you need a backup system that is capable. The good news is that providers like Alibaba, Quinn, Kimmy, Moonshot, and Jipu AI—many Chinese companies—ensure the technology isn’t going away. So even if Anthropic or OpenAI went out of business tomorrow, you have access to the technologies themselves. You can keep going while everyone else is stuck. Katie Robbert: If it’s not a concern for executives mandating AI integration, it should open eyes to the possibility of failure. Let’s be realistic—it’s not going to happen tomorrow, but it makes me think of the panic when Google Analytics switched from Universal Analytics to GA4. The systems aren’t compatible, data definitions changed, and companies lost historic data. Fortunately we had a backup plan. Chris, you always ran Matomo in the background as a secondary system in case something happened with Google Analytics, so we still had historic data. We’re at a pivotal point again: if you don’t have a backup system for your agentic AI workflows, you’re in trouble. Guess what? It’s going to fail, it will come crashing down, and you won’t know what to do. So let’s figure that out. Christopher S. Penn: If you’re building with agentic autonomous systems like Open Claw and its variants and you’re not building on an open‑weights model first, you’re taking unnecessary risks. Today’s open‑weights models like Quinn 3.5 and Minimax M2.5 are smart, capable, and about one‑tenth the cost of Western providers. If you have a box on your desk, you can run your life on it. You’d better use a model or have an abstraction layer that allows you to switch models so you can continue to run your life from this box. I would not rely on a pure API play from one major provider because if they go away, the transition will be rough. Now is the best time to build that level of abstraction. If you’re using tools like Claude code or other coding tools, you can have them make these changes for you. You have to be able to articulate it, and you should articulate with the 5B framework by Trust Insights. Once you do that, you can be proactive about preventing disasters. Katie Robbert: Is that unique to coding tools or does it also apply to chats and custom LLMs people have built? Obviously we have background information for Co‑CEO well documented, but let’s say we didn’t. Let’s say we built it and it lived as a skill somewhere. That’s a concern because we’ve grown to heavily rely on that custom agent. What if Claude shuts down tomorrow? We can’t access it. What do we do? Christopher S. Penn: The Co‑CEO—those fancy words like agents and skills—they’re just prompts. You can take that skill, which is a prompt file, fire up Anything LLM, turn on Quinn 3.5, and it will read that skill and get to work. You can do that in consumer applications like Anything LLM, which is just a chat box like Claude. The only thing uniquely missing right now is an equivalent for Claude Co‑Work, but it won’t be long before other tools have that. Even today you can use a tool like Klein or Kelo inside Visual Studio Code, install those skills, and have access to them. So even with Co‑CEO, you can drop that skill because it’s just a prompt and resume where you left off, as long as you have all data backed up and not living in someone else’s system, and you have good data governance. The tools are almost agnostic. All models are incredibly smart these days, even open‑weights models. I saw an open‑weights model over the weekend with 13 billion parameters that runs in about 12 GB of VRAM, so a mid‑range gaming laptop can run it. Co‑CEO Katie could live on perpetuity on a decent laptop. Katie Robbert: But you have to have good data governance. You need backups and documentation, then you can move them to any other system to make it more tool‑agnostic. If you don’t have good data governance or the basic prompts you’re reusing, we’ve been talking about this since day one. What’s in your prompt library? What frameworks are you using? What knowledge blocks have you created? If you don’t have those, you need to stop, put everything down, and start creating them, because you’ll be in a world of hurt without the basics. If you have a custom GPT you use daily, is it well documented—how it works, how it’s updated, how it’s maintained—so that if you can no longer subscribe to OpenAI, you can move to a different system. Katie Robbert: That move, especially if you’re using client‑facing tools, is not going to be overly traumatic. It’s not going to bring everything to a screeching halt. Many companies think everything will halt, but we haven’t explored personally what Claude meant by a copy‑paste migration. It feels like an oversimplification of what you actually have to do to replicate your system in Claude. Katie Robbert: But the fact they’re thinking about it, knowing people are panicking, is a good thing for Claude. It’s probably more complicated. The more you build, the deeper you are in the weeds, the more complicated it will be to port everything over. That’s why, as you build, you need documentation. Katie Robbert: That’s for nerds. Katie Robbert: I’m a nerd. I need documentation because it makes my life easier. You’re the first to ask, “where’s the documentation?” Do you have the PRD? Do you have the business requirements? I’m not touching anything until we have that. It makes me incredibly happy because look how much more you’ve accomplished with these systems and how zero panic you have about the AI wars—you can use whatever system you feel like that day. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. For folks listening, you can catch this on YouTube. This is my folder of all stuff—my Claude environment. It lives outside of Claude, on my hard drive, backed up to Trust Insights’ Google Cloud every Monday and Friday. It includes agents, document reviewers, the CFO, Co‑CEO, Katie, documentation, rules files for code standards, reference and research knowledge blocks, individual skills, and a separate folder of knowledge blocks. All of this lives outside any AI system—just files on disk backed up to our cloud twice a week. So no matter what, if my laptop melts down or gets hit by a meteor, I won’t lose mission‑critical data. This is basic good data governance. No matter what happens in the industry, if all the Western tech providers shut down tomorrow, I can spin up LM Studio, turn on the quantized model, and run it on my computer with my tools and rules. Our business stays in business when the rest of the world grinds to a halt. That will be a differentiating factor for AI‑forward companies: have a backup ready, flip the switch, and we’re switched over. Katie Robbert: If we look at it in a different context, it’s like the panic when a human decides to leave a company. You have that two‑week window to download everything they’ve ever done—wrong approach. It’s the same if you don’t have documentation for a human and no redundancy plan. If Chris wants to go on vacation, everything can’t come to a screeching halt. We’ve put controls in place so he can step away. We want that for any employee. Many companies don’t have even that basic level of documentation. If each analyst does a unique job and no one else can do it, you have no redundancy, no backup plan. If that analyst leaves for a better job, clients get mad while you scramble. It’s the same scenario with software. Christopher S. Penn: Now that’s a topic for another time, but one thing I’ve seen is the less you as an individual have fair knowledge, the more irreplaceable you theoretically are. That’s not true. Many protect job security by not documenting, but if everything is well documented, a less competent match could replace you. We saw Jack Dorsey’s company Block cut its workforce by 5,000, saying they’re AI‑forward. There’s a constant push‑pull: if you have SOPs and documentation, what’s to stop you from being replaced by a machine? Katie Robbert: I say bring it. I would love that, but I’m also professionally not an insecure human. You can’t replace a human’s critical thinking. If the majority of what you do is repetitive, that’s replaceable. What you bring to the table—creativity, critical thinking, connecting the dots before AI, documentation, owning business requirements, facilitating stakeholder conversations—is not easily replaceable. If Chris comes to me and says I’ve documented everything you do, and we give it all to a machine, I would say good luck. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, it’s worth a shot. Christopher S. Penn: All right. To wrap up, you absolutely should have everything valuable you do with AI living outside any one AI system. If it’s still trapped in your ChatGPT history, today is the day to copy and paste it into a non‑AI system, ideally one that’s shared and backed up. Also, today is the day to explore backup options—look for inference providers that can give you other options for mission‑critical stuff. No matter what happens to the big‑name brands, you have backup options.

ASIC Warns on Super “Health Check” Ads: How Lead Gen Funnels Push Risky Switches | Alan KirklandMoney Magazine's Friends With Money podcast host Ryan Johnson speaks with ASIC Commissioner Alan Kirkland about online “free super health check” sites, quizzes, and social media ads used as lead‑generation funnels that collect contact details, trigger telemarketing, and can pressure people to switch super into riskier, more expensive products.Kirkland explains ASIC's review and its transparency list (44 firms so far), noting that listing is not a finding of wrongdoing and the list will be updated while the review continues. He outlines common funnel tactics, investor harms seen in cases like First Guardian and Shield, and why switching into platform products or self‑managed super funds can reduce protections. Key red flags include unsolicited calls, pressure to act quickly, and offers to “find lost super.”Consumers are directed to ASIC's MoneySmart website (moneysmart.gov.au) for trusted guidance and complaints.00:43 What lead generation means01:42 ASIC transparency list explained03:52 Who ASIC Is targeting04:58 Inside the sales funnel06:52 When marketing breaks laws08:12 Case study: First Guardian10:28 APRA vs ASIC and SMSFs12:51 Red flags for consumers14:15 Where to get helpPodcast Links:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyMoney WebsiteYouTube Podcast PlaylistEmail Us: podcast@moneymag.com.auGet stories like this in our newsletter: bit.ly/3GDirbR

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we'll delve into a series of remarkable advancements and regulatory evolutions shaping the landscape of medicine.One of the most significant recent developments involves Boehringer Ingelheim's drug Hernexeos, which has seen a rapid expansion in its use as a first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This expansion was made possible through the FDA's Commissioner's National Priority Voucher, an initiative designed to fast-track the approval of treatments addressing critical needs. This rapid progression highlights a commitment to accelerating access to crucial oncological treatments, emphasizing the role of accelerated regulatory pathways in swiftly delivering innovative therapies to patients who need them the most.In oncology, a combination therapy involving Padcev and Keytruda is showing promising results in improving overall survival rates for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are eligible for cisplatin. However, the continuously evolving landscape of treatment options for this cancer type means that further evaluation is necessary. This scenario highlights the ever-changing nature of oncology strategies and the ongoing need for clinical validation to determine the most effective treatment regimens.Switching gears to immunology, UCB's Bimzelx has reached a significant sales milestone, reflecting its growing influence in treating multiple indications. This success points to an expanding market for immunology therapeutics, as the industry remains focused on developing blockbuster treatments that can serve various conditions effectively.On the regulatory front, Moderna's combination influenza/COVID-19 vaccine has received a positive review from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. This green light exemplifies the EU's dedication to thorough scientific evaluations. It contrasts with the FDA, which has exhibited hesitancy in this area, highlighting how varying regulatory approaches can affect drug availability in different regions.The field of HIV treatment is also seeing progress with GSK's ViiV division confirming the efficacy of its long-acting Cabenuva regimen for adolescents over a 96-week period. This long-acting regimen provides an alternative to daily oral therapies, potentially improving adherence and outcomes among younger populations—a crucial factor in managing chronic conditions effectively.Meanwhile, legal developments are stirring as the debate over "skinny labeling" for generic drugs reaches a pivotal point. The U.S. Supreme Court is being urged to overturn a ruling that endangers this pathway, highlighting the fine balance between fostering generic drug competition and protecting pharmaceutical innovation. In related legislative discussions, a Senate hearing focused on the FDA's rare disease review process has brought to light concerns about bureaucratic obstacles that may slow innovation. There is a call from stakeholders for more streamlined processes to ensure timely access to treatments for rare diseases—a sentiment echoed by many in the industry.The burgeoning field of CAR-T cell therapies continues to make waves, especially against solid tumors. Recent preclinical studies have shown potential efficacy in eradicating solid tumors in mice models. Despite these promising findings, significant regulatory challenges remain, and streamlining approval processes could accelerate their clinical application.In other significant news within the industry, Novartis has completed its acquisition of Avidity Biosciences for $12 billion, leading to the creation of Atrium Therapeutics. With a capitalization of $270 million, Atrium emerges with two promising preclinical candidates targeting cardiovascular conditions, signaling potential advSupport the show

Josh D'Amaro, the man about to become CEO, just said the quiet part out loud about one of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge's two attractions, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run. He straight-up said that "Guests like it, but they don't love it." Disney is installing a massive overhaul to try to fix it and turn every seat into an epic adventure. Will it finally make guests scream "I LOVE THIS" instead of a polite "eh, it was fun"? In this episode, we refer to D'Amaro's Harvard Business Review bombshell, break down why the Falcon's broken, and debate if this redesign will save Star Wars in the parks... or if it's too late. 64 Minutes.

Host Victor previews upcoming podcast coverage (The Pitt , Industry finale, DTF St. Louis, Paradise, and Drops of God) and then, with Kim, discusses Drops of God's competition setup as Camille manipulates a winemaker to swap in the Georgian wine, likely straining her relationship with Tomas and causing family fallout. They pivot to The Pitt  season 2 episode 8, where a cyberattack forces the ER to operate without electronic systems, highlighting analog workflows (paper charts, faxing, handwritten orders, pharmacist-controlled meds) and logistical delays. They revisit lingering cases and beats: Harlow's drawn-out ASL communication ending in a tension headache; an obese patient requiring special handling and raising fat-bias concerns; rape kits not being picked up in time; a hospice cancer patient's pain management and “double effect”; sudden blindness treated with TPA; a law student's psychosis prognosis; staff character moments (McKay's sobriety, Joy's photographic memory and diagnosis of phytophotodermatitis); and Mel's deposition tied to last season's measles case. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com   00:00 Show Updates and Schedule 02:42 Drops of God Plot Twist 06:55 Switching to The Pitt 07:33 Last Week Loose Ends 10:40 Duke Mystery Returns 12:03 Hospital Goes Analog 13:08 Old Medical TV vs Reality 17:51 Deaf Patient Frustrations 20:03 Obesity Case and Bias 24:16 Rape Kit System Failure 26:17 Hospice Pain Ethics 27:25 Sudden Blindness TPA Debate 31:00 Law Student Background Case 31:27 Parents Face New Reality 33:24 Bipolar Versus Schizophrenia 34:18 Coworker Recovery Check In 35:06 Joy's Hidden Talents 38:07 Margarita Burn Diagnosis 40:13 Measles Deposition Fallout 43:09 Underserved Characters Spotlight 46:19 Generations and Analog Medicine 50:34 Realism Versus TV Medicine 52:33 Behind the Scenes Craft 57:00 Extras and Waiting Room Grind 58:10 Next Week and Podcast Plugs

Amy Wang spent over 20 years building a career she never planned.She started premed at Michigan State University simply because she liked school — until she realized she couldn't handle blood. Needing to graduate on time without extra loans, she switched to industrial-organizational psychology, not fully knowing what it was, just that it fit.That uncertainty became a pattern. Not in a reckless way. In a way where the right things kept showing up when she stopped forcing them. Eventually a friend told her Mercedes-Benz was hiring. She didn't have an HR title at the time. But she had the background, the instinct for building teams, and years of standing up shared services in IT and healthcare. She got the role. Then her boss left. And Amy became Head of HR for Mercedes-Benz North America, overseeing shared services across five countries.We talked about:→ How Amy went from premed to Head of HR at Mercedes-Benz through a series of unplanned turns→ Why her best career moves were the ones that found her, not the ones she chased→ What business owners get wrong about employee culture and why people need to feel like they're on the teamSitting with Amy reminded me that the most interesting careers rarely follow a straight line. Sometimes the best thing you can do is stop gripping the wheel so hard and let the next thing come to you.Amy, thank you for being so open about a career that didn't follow the script. The way you talked about helping people find their strengths and grow into what they're capable of, that energy came through the whole conversation. I'm excited to see what finds you next.Chapters0:00 Intro1:03 Blood Draws, Plasma, and Why Amy Left Premed4:08 Switching to Industrial Organizational Psychology5:32 The Full Career Journey: From Insurance to Oldsmobile7:01 Getting Stuck in an Elevator That Changed Everything8:07 The Wrong Email That Led to Project Management10:48 Building a Hospital as Employee Number Nine12:30 How Mercedes-Benz Found Her16:17 From Shared Services to Head of HR18:25 Lessons for Entrepreneurs Building Their First Team24:00 How to Find Someone's Superpower28:21 Knowing When to Stop and Cut Your Losses35:36 The One Thing Business Owners Need to Get Right About Culture39:33 What's Next for Amy and Where to Find HerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support.*Connect with Dillon*https://www.instagram.com/thedillonenglandshow/https://twitter.com/imdillonenglandhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5*Sponsor — Broadcast Brew (Low-Acid Coffee)*Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW”Thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership.https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blend*ABOUT THE DILLON ENGLAND SHOW*Authentic conversations with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle — direct, faith-forward, Detroit grit.Subscribe for full conversations and weekly clips.Share this with someone on your leadership team.Comment your biggest takeaway.

Key Takeaways: Choose the Right Business Structure: Switching from a sole proprietorship to an S Corp should be a thoughtful decision. It should be based on your income level and readiness to handle extra paperwork, not pressure from social media. Understand How You Pay Yourself: Owner draws and salaries are taxed differently. Knowing the difference helps you plan better and avoid surprises at tax time. Use Retirement Plans Strategically: Options like SEP IRAs and Solo 401(k)s help you save for the future while also lowering your current tax bill. Balance Sheets Matter: Your balance sheet is just as important as your income statement. It shows the true health of your business and plays a big role in taxes and long-term stability. Think Like a Future Buyer: A clean, well-prepared balance sheet makes your business more valuable to potential buyers and encourages smarter long-term decisions.

Do you scoff at the idea of winning "only" $10 million? How about just a million? Jeremy Bradley talks about a colleague who won't buy a lottery ticket if the jackpot is too low. "I've never heard that before," says JB. "A million dollars is a million dollars. I'll take it." Later, JB wonders why people clench their teeth when they pet his dogs. "It worries me. Are they going to bite my dogs?" he laughs when he reminds listeners that it's a bunch of randomness on the show this week. Switching gears entirely, JB talks about eager retail employees who won't stop chatting, asking probing questions and following customers around the store. Also, JB talks about store security that generally stands around and has heads down while playing on their phone during their shift.

I'm back with another fortnightly In My Opinion episode - sharing running observations, Q&A and personal updates. Train with Matt: https://sweatelitecoaching.com/matt-fox/ Private Podcast Feed + Discord: https://www.sweatelite.co/shareholders/ Contact: matt@sweatelite.co Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Strava Training Log: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6248359 I wished friends luck at Osaka and Tokyo and spoke about returning to YouTube to document a marathon comeback despite not running yet and feeling imposter syndrome. I explained why I moved away from pro-athlete travel content - doping concerns, COVID restrictions, visa limits and tax complications. The channel is shifting toward my own journey. On training, I addressed the effort vs pace debate. Context matters. Effort leads, especially when fatigued. I spoke about avoiding the anxiety spiral by focusing on sensation and adaptation rather than numbers and judgment. I touched on influencer culture, unnecessary products, and doping speculation - urging caution without proof. I discussed coaching as an optional performance tool, like super shoes, and may use a coach in an advisor role. I'll likely train mostly in standard shoes and race in super shoes. Current context: I'm around 79 kg and believe 65-66 kg aligns with a 2:12-2:15 goal. I reflected on running 2:20 off ~105 km per week in 2021. I'm considering cycling and stair climbing to maintain fitness while reducing impact and avoiding ego-driven mileage. I also covered my 10-year Japan ban, alcohol vs cannabis culture, pre-race nerves, speed after 40, Australia's social media ban for under-16s, and moving Workouts of the Week into a paid Supporters Club to build a healthier community. Closed with plans for stairs, weights and a cold plunge.

In this jam-packed segment, we kick things off with the return of Mets and Yankees baseball, breaking down the actual storylines of spring training—from top prospects like Carson Benge to the MLB's new Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system. We explain why the TV strike zone box is disappearing and how the new challenge rules will impact players and fans alike. Switching gears to the gridiron, we debate the Jets' quarterback options, detailing why Zach Wilson is universally crossed off the free-agent list and why Geno Smith might actually be a viable backup option. Then, we make an impassioned plea regarding the one Jets free agent no one is talking about: Alijah Vera-Tucker. To top it all off, we take a hilarious detour into historical hypotheticals, asking the ultimate pop-culture question: if we found out Mary Todd Lincoln was behind Abe's assassination, would anyone with today's short attention spans actually care?

Summary:Political speechwriter and author Simon Lancaster breaks down how leaders and speakers win minds using rhetoric, metaphor and emotional language. We explore why corporate jargon kills trust, how metaphors shape beliefs, and simple persuasion tools speakers can use without sounding manipulative.In this episode, you'll learn:What rhetoric is and why it matters for modern speakersWhy emotion often persuades more than logicHow metaphor shapes perception, behaviour and beliefWhy corporate language dehumanises and disengages audiencesPractical ways to become “metaphor aware” and communicate more humanlyThe responsibility leaders have when using persuasive languageMemorable ideas and quotes:“Leadership is an emotional contract.”“Metaphor speaks to the subconscious.”The “company as car” metaphor and why it backfires“Rhetoric is morally neutral.

When the Mic Turns Around What happens when interviewer becomes interviewee?   In this special role-reversal episode of The Main Thing, longtime friend Chip VanAlsburg steps in as host to turn the microphone on Skip Lineberg. Together, they explore the origin story behind the podcast, the deeper spiritual motivation driving it, and what it really takes to distill knowledge into wisdom that helps people get better at life. Pulling Back the Curtain on The Main Thing From childhood conversations with elders to the "Holy Spirit moment" that birthed the show. And from the unseen, labor-intensive work behind each 25-minute episode… Skip pulls back the curtain, as Chip presents his own brand of insightful, soul-piercing questions. On Light, Leadership, and the Long Game The duo also dives into: Why growth isn't for everyone (and why that's okay) What it means to live effulgently—radiating light and love Reframing "empty nest" into "spacious nest" The butterfly effect of sharing wisdom And how knowledge becomes wisdom only when it's lived and shared Last but not least, Chip shares his own emerging vision—an honest, heartfelt look at trauma, healing, storytelling, and what he calls "big medicine." If you've ever wondered why this podcast exists—or what wisdom is really for—this conversation will meet you right where you are. Press play. Reflect deeply. Share generously. A Bit More About Our Wise Guest-Host Chip VanAlsburg is a big thinker with a restless mind and a wide-open heart. He challenges assumptions, pushes boundaries, and rarely accepts "no" as the final answer—especially when curiosity or conviction is involved. Bold and unafraid, Chip has spent more than two decades leading in the media, technology, and telecommunications worlds, holding roles such as General Manager, Vice President, and most recently Director at Lumen Technologies in Pittsburgh. But titles only tell part of the story. Chip is a glutton for experiences, with a voracious appetite for life and learning. He's an avid user of emojis, deeply fond of laughter, and unashamed of tears when the moment calls for them. His ego is squarely in check, even as his irises stay cranked wide open in a lifelong quest for peace, perspective, and enlightenment. What makes Chip compelling isn't just what he's accomplished—it's how he shows up: courageous, curious, emotionally honest, and fully engaged with the world around him. He brings that same energy and depth to conversation, making him the kind of guest who doesn't just share insights—he invites reflection. Now, buckle up and get ready to join the duo in exploring the concept of living a good life by pursuing purpose with humility, resilience and faith. This episode was recorded in-person, face-to-face inside Parkwood Studios in Almost Heaven, West Virginia.

Switching things up in your business is hard, whether what you're doing is working or not. Change can feel risky, uncomfortable, and even unnecessary when things are "good enough." But so often, I see entrepreneurs hit a little success… and then stay there. Years go by, burnout creeps in, and what once felt exciting starts to feel heavy. Not because you failed, but because you never allowed yourself to evolve. Growth requires movement, and comfort can quietly keep you stuck. In today's episode, I'm unpacking the why behind our resistance to change and encouraging you to take an honest look at where you might be holding on too tightly. It may be time to pivot, refine, or completely switch things up, not because you're failing, but because you're ready for more. Important Links: Lacking the tools to reach your goals in business?

The Pentagon is considering ending its relationship with artificial intelligence company Anthropic and their Claude model over disagreements of how the technology is being used. Anthropic's Claude is the only AI model currently being used by the U.S. Military, and is also used by businesses all around the world. The Pentagon does not want the model to hold its military action back, and Anthropic does not want its technology to used on citizens. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Jennifer Griffin, Chief National Security Correspondent for the Fox News Channel (FNC), who breaks down the talking points of each side, and explains how the AI was even used in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Don and Tom dissect a Morningstar article naming the “best core stock funds” for 2026, noting the sharp decline in recommended actively managed funds and the dominance of low-cost index funds. While they applaud the shift away from expensive stock pickers, they argue Morningstar's “core” approach still leads to unnecessary complexity and heavy large-cap (especially S&P 500) concentration, with little exposure to small-cap, value, and emerging markets. They advocate instead for simple, globally diversified, factor-tilted funds like DFAW, AVGE, or AVGV. Listener questions cover switching from AVGE to AVGV inside an IRA (risk tolerance matters), improving a 32-year-old's 401(k) allocation (use a Roth IRA to add small/value exposure), and a sharp analogy comparing passive investing to driving with traffic rather than weaving aggressively for no gain. 0:04 Investing in a “wonderful world” by ignoring noise 1:14 AI audio tools that may replace editors (and shorten meetings) 5:06 Morningstar's 2026 “Best Core Funds” list shifts toward indexing 6:39 Why “core” still means large-cap heavy and incomplete diversification 9:50 The problem with piling into multiple S&P 500 funds 12:14 Why Dimensional and Avantis are missing from the list 13:26 One-fund global solutions: DFAW, AVGE, AVGV 17:44 Listener analogy: aggressive driving vs. active investing 19:08 IRA question: Switching from AVGE to AVGV and risk tolerance 20:34 32-year-old's 401(k) allocation and using a Roth IRA to add small/value 28:40 Retirement workshop plug and who should attend 30:21 Free fiduciary advice vs. actually hiring an advisor Learn more about your ad choices.

BYU basketball moves forward without Richie Saunders. The key question is how this injury, combined with the Cougars' recent play, will affect BYU's NCAA Tournament seed. As BYU gets ready to take on Arizona in Tucson, KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper took a look at BYU's Bracketology outlook for the 2026 NCAA Tournament. It's clear the Cougars have some work to do to begin climbing the seed lines in the NCAA Tournament. Switching to BYU football, there are 200 days until the Cougars return to the gridiron. There are only 10 days until BYU kicks off spring practices. Diving into the big storyline: who will emerge as the No. 1 wide receiver after Parker Kingston was dismissed from the program following his arrest and allegations of r*pe.

Been on keto but not seeing the mental clarity you expected? Book a free call with Robert Sikes: ketobodybuilding.com/callDave Schmitz was told he'd be on psychiatric meds for life. Bipolar diagnosis in his 30s, five years of feeling emotionally numb on Lamictal. Then he went full carnivore. One to two pounds of ground beef daily. Six months later, he forgot to take his medication and felt fine. On this episode of Savage Perspective Podcast, Dave shares how strict carnivore eating and a shift in gratitude helped him ditch the pills his psychiatrist said he'd need until the grave. He also runs a keto restaurant on Route 66, homeschools seven kids, and has some thoughts on why Americans can't handle bread anymore.

Remember when Facebook was fun and Google actually worked? Cory Doctorow coined a term for what went wrong, and he's here to explain how we fight back.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1280What We Discuss with Cory Doctorow:"Enshittification" is Cory Doctorow's term for how platforms decay. First they're good to users, then they abuse users to serve business customers, then they abuse everyone to claw back value for themselves. Facebook, Amazon, and Google all followed this playbook — and policy makers let it happen."Switching costs" are a deliberate policy choice, not an inevitability. Companies jack up the friction of leaving their platforms through design and lobbying, but regulations like phone number portability prove we can legislate friction down when we choose to.The Digital Millennium Copyright Act criminalizes fixing things you own. Security researchers who expose corporate sabotage — like the Polish train company bricking locomotives to extort customers — face harsher legal consequences than actual pirates."Algorithmic wage discrimination" is surveillance capitalism's newest trick. Apps like Uber track how desperate workers are and pay them less accordingly — the more rides you accept, the lower your future offers, turning desperation into a permanent wage ceiling.You can fight back by supporting interoperability and making strategic choices. Use alternative services (like Kagi for search), follow advocates like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org), and remember: every time you demand the right to own what you buy, you're pushing back against enshittification.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
