At the Crexendo UGM, Tim Wilbourn, Senior Vice President of Support and Customer Success at Crexendo, sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss Crexendo's customer-first culture, the growing role of AI across communications, and the ongoing challenges — and opportunities — presented by 10DLC compliance. Wilbourn oversees Crexendo's customer support, managed services, and professional services teams, as well as its retail platform, giving him a unique vantage point across the company's ecosystem. “I have the pleasure of serving the community from every angle of customer success — hosted support, managed services, and direct platform management,” he said. “The best part is that I experience the same challenges our partners do, which helps us make meaningful improvements.” A central theme at this year's event, Wilbourn noted, was “AI everything.” From receptionist automation to transcription, call routing, and analytics, Crexendo partners are eager to implement AI-driven enhancements. “Everybody wants AI and they want it now,” he said. “But the key question is what do they want it to do, and how quickly can they deploy it?” Wilbourn's goal is to bring those solutions to life within the Crexendo VIP platform by integrating the event's showcased vendor technologies into live, real-world use cases. Turning to 10DLC compliance, Wilbourn described the rollout as “a bit of a fiasco” for the industry — though one that now represents a major opportunity for service providers. “Change is scary, and 10DLC caught a lot of the industry by surprise,” he explained. “We're seeing partners hesitant to sell SMS because of the complexity of registration and fear of noncompliance.” He emphasized that the potential fines for violations — sometimes thousands of dollars per message — can be intimidating, leading some providers to delay adoption. To address this, Crexendo is working closely with EVP partners and messaging providers such as Autom8ly, Textable, and Cinch to simplify compliance through automation and education. “Our goal is to take away the fear,” Wilbourn said. “No one wants to work with tools they don't understand. If we make it cleaner, faster, and more reliable, adoption will follow.” Wilbourn also sees these compliance challenges as a way for MSPs and resellers to deepen customer relationships. “Problems are opportunities,” he said. “If we can make 10DLC and other compliance requirements easier, our partners become heroes to their customers.” Crexendo's strategy remains focused on proactive support and continuous improvement. “We're resolving tickets faster, improving quality, and raising satisfaction scores,” Wilbourn noted. “The quote of the week? ‘Getting better.' And that's what we intend to keep doing — better every day.” To learn more about Crexendo's customer success initiatives and partner ecosystem, visit crexendo.com.

Businesses are spending millions on AI tools hoping to accelerate time-to-market but aren't seeing organizational-level results. Laura Tacho (CTO @ DX) explains why an "individual productivity" mindset fails and how AI merely accelerates the condition of the system it enters.

Plus Laura shares data literacy tools to cut through the "whiplash" of conflicting AI reports and provides key considerations for 2026 budgeting, detailing where and how companies are planning to strategically invest.ABOUT LAURA TACHOLaura Tacho is CTO at DX, a developer experience company.

In this episode of Sex Advice for Seniors, I welcome back Michelle Jermy, psychotherapist and founder of The Yoni Therapist, to discuss her groundbreaking work on women's sexual health, low libido, and the often-overlooked relational aspects of desire.Michelle shares her mission to help clinicians and patients better address issues like low libido, pain during penetration, and the pressures many women feel to “perform” sexually. While current clinical tools like the Female Sexual Function Index, which I have never heard mentioned previously, focus on biomedical factors, Michelle emphasises the need to explore relational and emotional dynamics. She is developing a new toolkit to help clinicians ask deeper, more relevant questions, such as, “Do you feel pressured to have sex to maintain your relationship?” or “Do you know what brings you sexual pleasure?”The conversation highlights how women's sexual health is often dismissed or under explored in clinical settings. We discussed the importance of clinicians adopting a more expansive view of sex—not just focusing on penetration, but including a full spectrum of intimacy and pleasure. Michelle also stresses how understanding basic wellness factors, such as sleep, mental health, and physical touch, is essential for restoring desire. We tend to think of libido as purely driven by hormones, but as we discussed in this episode and I have discussed in previous conversations with doctors such as Lauren Streicher MD, it's much more complex than that!Michelle's upcoming research project aims to train clinicians and provide tools for better addressing women's sexual health concerns. For patients, she advocates for proactive communication with healthcare providers, even suggesting template letters to help women articulate their needs confidently.It's so important that we normalise conversations about women's pleasure and sexual health, in order to bridge the gap between patients and clinicians.Why Subscribe to Sex Advice for Seniors?

What happens when a student is a no-show at school? Student attendance has been a major concern in schools across the U.S. the past few years, after chronic absenteeism spiked during the pandemic years. Helping students and families achieve regular attendance is a key focus of Bend-La Pine Schools, and that centers on academic engagement and success; ensuring all students experience a sense of belonging and safety in school; and addressing family circumstances that make it challenging for students to attend. We're seeing success with our strategies. Bend-La Pine Schools is tracking big improvement with a large number of students who had been missing too many days last school year, and who are showing up regularly this fall. In this episode of the Supe's On! podcast, Superintendent Steven Cook sits down with Eric Powell, Director of Student Services, to talk why some students miss a lot of school and how the district approaches chronic absenteeism.

Tackling may be the bane of every DC's existence, especially when trying to turn a program around. It's also the part of football that has evolved the most… outside of Travis Kelce type of TEs, and the weird side-arm throwing motion used around the country now. Tackling doesn't have to be a thorn in your paw, you have to simplify your system so it can happen more naturally and in pairs. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the easiest ways to fix mistakes in tackling, through Umbrella Run Fits, how to do it without running the “Oklahoma Drill” every week, and motivating your players to ATTACK.
In this episode, we explore how vision training and vision therapy intersect with brain health, particularly in high-impact sports like football and cheerleading. We dig into concussion statistics, the emerging technologies for monitoring head impacts, and how targeted visual training might play a role in both preventing and recovering from concussions. We also bring in expert voices and share real-world athlete stories to make it concrete and actionable for coaches, parents, trainers, and athletes alike.Football concussion stats:Tackling causes nearly 2 out of 3 concussions in high school football; running plays cause ~half of concussions; linebackers and running backs are particularly vulnerable CDC.Cheerleading concussion stats:Cheer takes a bigger hit than you might expect: in one study, cheerleading surpassed football in concussion risk rates Concussion Alliance.Nearly 96% of concussions in cheerleading are stunt-related, especially among bases (contact from another athlete) and flyers (contact with ground) Concussion AllianceHEADCHECK Health.From 2001–2012, cheerleading-related concussion/closed head injury rates soared by 290% among children aged 5–18 The Sport Journal.In a Miami-Dade County study (2015–2019), cheerleaders with concussions were held out an average of 26 days, and 38% had prolonged recoveries (>28 days) The Sport Journal.Check out our Digital Programs4D Built for LifeStart your FREE TRIAL today 4D Built to Read Digital ProgramConcussion RecoveryBuilt to DriveFollow us at 4D Vision Gym on Facebook and Instagram @4dvisiongymvt for the latest news and updates.

The truly inspiring Amanda Baker, a real estate agent from Durham, North Carolina, who is achieving incredible success in her business, joins Eric Thompson here today. Tackling the question so many of us ask: "How can I do it all?", Amanda shares her proven strategies for generating consistent high-volume sales in an ever-changing market, all while maintaining a rich and present family life. She also provides invaluable advice on how consistent routines are the secret to balancing a thriving real estate career with personal priorities, proving you do not have to sacrifice one for the other. In this insightful conversation, Amanda details the brilliant "every other week" schedule she created to maximize quality time with her children during the summer without letting her business skip a beat. She explains her philosophy of "doubling down" on focused work periods, which allows for greater freedom and flexibility. A key to her success is running her business like a business by planning her entire year of autoflow, including client events, pop-bys, and newsletters, well in advance. This proactive approach eliminates stress, creates seamless client experiences, and provides the structure needed to build a life by design, not by default. Episode Highlights: Balance family and work with an "every other week" system. Proactively plan a year of marketing and client events. Maximize productivity by "doubling down" on focused work. Build relationships with newsletters, pop-bys, and events. Set client boundaries while providing excellent service. Use structure and foresight for sustainable success. Build a rewarding life, not just a busy career, with Ninja principles. Key Takeaways: "The goal at end-of-year business planning is to not have to think about it for the rest of the year, honestly." "I rarely have a perfect Ninja week... It's about the consistency of doing the Ninja things." "You actually can do this. You can have a life. You can have quality time doing the things you want to do with the people you want to do them with and continue to run a successful business." "You're listening to someone who is running her business like a business." "You're never scrambling or going, 'Oh, it's too late now. We'll catch it next month.'" "Even a text reminder will just kind of start a conversation... and kind of again, start the F.O.R.D. from there." "If you have a plan and a process, you can structure your life, your business just how you want it."

What if the biggest sustainability challenge in tech isn't hardware or cloud emissions, but the invisible mountain of unused data sitting in storage? That's the question driving my conversation with Piero Gallucci, Vice President and General Manager for NetApp UK and Ireland, as we discuss how single-use data is quietly shaping the environmental and financial footprint of enterprise IT. Piero explains that 38 percent of stored data is never used again, yet it continues to consume energy and resources indefinitely. He describes how this digital hoarding—often driven by regulatory caution and the overvaluation of data—has become one of the most overlooked contributors to emissions in modern infrastructure. With the rise of AI accelerating data growth by an estimated 50 percent, the challenge is no longer simply about capacity but responsibility. Through examples such as Aston Martin Formula One and the NFL, Piero outlines how NetApp is helping organizations identify unused data, automate lifecycle policies, and design intelligent, energy-efficient infrastructure that supports both innovation and sustainability. We also explore the tension between AI adoption and environmental impact. As enterprises rush to train new models, Piero argues that smarter data governance, not bigger datasets, is the key to sustainable AI. He highlights the importance of educating teams on the true cost of data—both financial and environmental—and why leaders must build intentional strategies that align performance with purpose. NetApp's vision is clear: make data management as sustainable as it is powerful. But as AI reshapes how we store and use information, can the tech industry finally balance digital growth with environmental stewardship? And what would your company look like if every byte of data had to justify its existence? Share your thoughts after the episode.
