Can using AI in visual design ever be truly creative? This week's guest would go one step further and call AI the “future of creativity.”Mike Parkinson, Principal of 24 Hour Company and Owner of Billion Dollar Graphics, joins us for a special live show of The Visual Lounge, hosted at Training 2025, a conference and expo produced by Training Magazine.We chat about where AI can fit into visual design and content creation and why Mike calls it a “friction fixer” or a “smart start” rather than a replacement for creative talent. His take on AI is to view it like a “drunk intern” – something that could help you in the creative process but not something you'd want to hand full control to. For those who have struggled with AI prompts and results, Mike shares the three rules of using AI to get the most out of it. The running theme in this episode is that context is key and that always has to come from humans themselves. With context and the right approach, you can make AI a fundamental part of the creative process. Learning points from the episode include:00:00 - 01:22 Introduction to Mike 01:22 - 02:58 How to get better at using AI for images02:58 - 04:02 Does AI follow the Ballmer curve?04:02 - 06:23 What to do if you're struggling with AI06:23 - 09:36 Where most people get AI wrong09:36 - 11:59 The best use cases of AI in visual design11:59 - 14:24 Using AI to enhance usability, dopamine hit 14:24 - 16:20 Is using AI creative?16:20 - 19:00 The dos and don'ts for those in the training space using AI19:00 - 22:16 Speed round questions22:16 - 22:55 How to connect with Mike22:55 - 23:27 Mike's final take 23:27 - 23:59 OutroImportant links and mentions:Connect with Mike on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-parkinson-bb364/Visit the Billion Dollar Graphics Website: https://billiondollargraphics.com/Follow Mike on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikeparkinson_bdg/Subscribe to Mike Parkinson and Billion Dollar Graphics on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRDQaYfze62MYQ_CO5rjo1w/

Send us a textLegacy can seem far off and out of reach, but it doesn't happen at the journey's end, and it's not only for the rich and famous. Legacy is now, and Dr. Jann Freed shows how you can find and leave meaning daily. Jann will introduce her Breadcrumb Legacy™ framework, a radical but pragmatic approach made up of small actions you consciously take over time that accumulate into the trail or legacy you'll leave behind. Breadcrumb Legacy™ is also a mindset, an awareness of your impact on your relationships, your organization, and your family in every communication and interaction.In this program, Jann will share her journey of writing her last two books, Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts and Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering. She will describe her breadcrumb legacy concept in more detail and why it is important for people of all ages and stages to understand how this concept can change their lives.About Jann Freed:Dr. Ruth is one of Dr. Jann Freed's sheroes. Dr. Ruth, a sex therapist, professor, author, and professor, was talking about sex in the 1980s, a taboo subject when no one wanted to talk about it. Dr. Jann Freed wants to talk about retirement when people don't want to talk about it and are scared to even think about it!As a former professor for decades, Dr. Jann decided to practice what she was teaching and preaching. She says she is out to retire the word "retirement." We are not retiring from life but moving on to something else. Jann believes it takes time and intentional thought to successfully move on to what's next in life.This awakening led her on a research journey that resulted in her book Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts. One chapter that really resonated was Leaders Live Their Legacy, so she did a deep dive into legacy work and set out to interview gurus. From this work, she created the concept of Breadcrumb Legacy™, which became her latest book, Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering.Dr. Jann also hosts the Becoming a Sage Podcast, where she interviews thought leaders on the wisdom of life and work. She also writes the Leading Edge column for Training Magazine, which is published in print and online.Her mission is to be a seeker and learner who leaves a Breadcrumb Legacy for herself and others.

When people talk about what it takes to succeed, a lot of things come up. Motivation, drive, persistence and skill are all important, but one thing that's highly underestimated and underutilized is humor.    We might not think making someone laugh can be a gamechanger in business. The truth is, people are more likely to trust us, buy what we sell and listen to what we have to say through humor.    It might not be something we're taught, but anyone can learn how to be funny and add some lightheartedness to our communication and even our training.    What can the most talented actors and comedians teach us about scripts? Why is grit so critical to our success?    In this episode, I'm joined by author, speaker, thought-leader, coach and trainer, Les McGehee. He shares why humor and comedy are the things that propelled him to success. He also talks about how we can infuse what we do with some humor and levity.    The Realtors and comedians we admire have learned so many scripts and structures that they just flow through them. -Les McGehee   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -The power of grit, persistence and humor  In school we were taught how to write, read and count. What were some of the missing pieces of our education?   -What went well and why  The world operates on a negativity bias. We're more focused on our weaknesses, but our strengths are what pull us forward. How do we change how we see things?     -What great actors teach us about scripts A lot of training in real estate is around scripts, but why do we need to take it  further than just memorizing words?   Guest Bio  Les McGeehee is an author, speaker, thought-leader, coach and trainer. He has presented at thousands of events across the U.S. and internationally, both as an entertainer and as a leader helping clients and their teams grow, develop, and prosper in business. I'm the president of Rialto Academy—a hub for business training, education, and coaching—where I've led custom programs for the Jack Welch Management Institute, J.P. Morgan Chase, AT&T, University of Texas, Dell, Baylor Scott & White Health, and many other major companies. I'm the author of the book Plays Well With Others, and the co-creator of the original The ONE Thing Trainer Certification program based on the bestselling book, The ONE Thing, by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan (in fact, in 2015 and 2017 our training team was named the #1 training organization in the world among all industries by Training Magazine). And finally, as a personal business coach for many years, I've helped countless clients find success through clarity, accountability, passion, and diligence.

Dr. Jann wants to talk about retirement when people don't want to talk about it and are scared to even think about it! At 94, Dr. Ruth is still writing and speaking and Jann plans to do the same.

We are experiencing a transformation, an evolution in how we lead and what makes a successful leader. Today, I had a great conversation with Alain Hunkins, CEO and author of Cracking The Leadership Code: Three Secrets to Building Strong Leaders about the common leadership assumptions that can get people into trouble, the obstacles we face in how to connect, the three secrets of strong leaders, and how we can communicate better. He shares the story of how one leader went from being ranked at the bottom to achieving outstanding results by focusing on people first before the numbers and the work.Alain and I discuss what gets in the way of empathy, the role transparency plays in killing the old leadership paradigm, how employees got to the point that they have such low confidence in their leaders - and what we can do to reverse that - and he'll also share a great trick to ensure you are communicating effectively. To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.com Key Takeaways:Studies show we judge ourselves by our intentions, but others by their actions. The old model of command and control leadership is a dying paradigm. Leadership must evolve - all leaders are now living in a glass house with the technology available. We no longer live in a world of information asymmetry. Numbers are neat and tidy, people are not. To lead people, you have to make the time to connect with your team empathetically not just look at the business numbers.Ask for a receipt in your communication. It doesn't take much time, but it does increase understanding and clarity. "All leadership development is personal development, and all personal development is leadership development.

He also offers a plethora of insights that are vital for any service industry leader aspiring to elevate their customer service game to new heights of excellence.Show Notes(1:12) Introduction to Jim Knight(5:56) The Importance of Being Customer Obsessed(9:00) Practical Tips for Personalizing Customer Service(12:15) Turning Moments from Mediocre to Amazing(17:35) Occupying a Customer's Mental Shelf Space(23:37) Success Stories of Companies' Raving Fans (29:22) Obtaining a Permanent Spot in the Client's Mind(36:54) Actionable Ways to Make a Bigger Impact on Customers(43:52) Closing QuestionLinksShawn BlackJim Robinson CGP Maintenance and ConstructionJim KnightKnight SpeakerQuotes“I think if you can personalize it, and I would go even farther to say if you could truly customize and individualize the [customer] experience...not that you have to go completely over the top, but I do think when you can make somebody feel seen and heard, you got them. You got them for a little bit longer. I don't know how long you bought them, but you just got them a whole lot longer than if it was just transactional. That's absolutely not good enough. You've got to make it about them.” - Jim Knight, (9:07)“If there's a way for you to focus exclusively on the team members, you get them to have a positive experience and you love on them, they're going to keep showing up. They're going to be engaged. You will create an army of giants who will then parlay up to the top to take care of the guests.” - Jim Knight, (16:31)“I think it's a combination of what you're saying and what you're doing that ultimately gets to that emotional connection. I think if you get ensconced into their mental shelf space, you've avoided that mediocrity. And maybe the bar really is so low that if you did a little bit more than what they were expecting, I think you're going to win. And I think companies who focus on this will leapfrog their competitors.” - Jim Knight, (29:47)“Immediate stuff that you can start doing right now is hire awesome people, do these fundamentals, but then at the back end, the very last one, you've got to go over the top when it comes to service recovery.” - Jim Knight, (39:08)“I talk a lot about organizational cultures and a part of that is service. I'm a firm believer that, regardless of your position, I think a single person with great ideas can start a revolution. That's how countries are overthrown. That's how philanthropic organizations get started. That's how company cultures get amped up. I think everybody who's listening or watching right now, regardless of their role, can start coming to the party, giving some really good ideas, and thinking creatively.” - Jim Knight, (42:32)

Do we need to concede that we'll never be able to accurately measure the impact of our soft skills development solutions? If so, that's an enormous amount of spending without knowing if we're making enough of a difference. In this episode, we discuss how it is possible to plan, design and deliver for real impact and how this is already working. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tell people upfront how what they learn applies to their job.  Use proprietary internal knowhow to plug content gaps.  Have people practice what they learn. Improve 1st line management training. Understand outputs and how they are measured. If processes are not being followed by top performers, the processes are wrong.

I fully support our guest's perspective of retiring the term “retirement;” as Dr. Jann Freed aptly puts it, “We are not retiring from life, but moving on to something else.” In this episode, Jann and I explore the concept of “Breadcrumb Legacy” - a forward-thinking approach to leaving a meaningful impact. We discuss how legacy isn't just something at life's end, but a collection of intentional actions woven into the present. From the influence of Mr. Rogers to the power of silence, we uncover how focusing on relationships over achievements shapes a purposeful legacy. Whether approaching retirement or not, as self-employed business owners, we can all benefit from aligning our actions with our values. By doing so, we not only foster personal growth but also make a positive impact in both our business and personal lives.   As a former professor for decades, Dr. Jann decided to practice what she was teaching and preaching.  She says she is out to retire the word “retirement.” We are not retiring from life, but moving onto something else. Jann believes it takes time and intentional thought to successfully move on to what's next in life. This awakening led her on a research journey that resulted in her book Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts. One chapter that really resonated was “Leaders Live Their Legacy.” So Dr. Jann did a deep dive on legacy work and set out to interview gurus. From this work, she created the concept of Breadcrumb Legacy™ and it became her latest book Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering. Dr. Jann also hosts the “Becoming a Sage Podcast” where she interviews thought leaders on the wisdom of life and work. She also writes the “Leading Edge” column for Training Magazine which is published in print and online. Dr. Jann's mission is to be a seeker and learner who leaves a Breadcrumb Legacy for herself and others. She lives in Des Moines, Iowa with her husband and her dog, Grover. She is proud of her three adult sons who are thriving in this ever-changing world.   And be sure to subscribe to The Self-Employed Life in Apple Podcasts or follow us on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts so you don't miss an episode.

Today's guest helps organizations and individuals get from where they are to where they want to go. She engages employees, develops leaders, and helps people find meaning on a daily basis—a concept she calls “breadcrumb legacy.” She is a speaker, teacher, and coach. After a 30-year career as a college professor of business management and leadership, she built her own business to share what she's learned. She is the host of the podcast "Becoming a Sage," which interviews thought leaders about life and work wisdom, and writes a column for Training Magazine called "Leading Edge." She is the author of six books, her latest book is “Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering.”  Please join me in welcoming Dr. Jann Freed.  In this episode, we discuss: Her thoughts on leadership: “A leader is someone in the position to influence the lives of others, positive or negative - this includes parents, teachers, pastors.” Jann's small-town roots while growing up in a tiny town in northern Iowa. Growing up with a heavy influence on her education from her parents, along with the friendly “threat” from her dad to prioritize finishing college before getting married. Her rebel streak and love for social justice. She was married in 1982 and kept her maiden name, surprising no one that knew her. Jann found her path by getting her degree, “falling into” banking, and realizing it wasn't the right fit for her. “I enjoy teaching because I'm passionate about learning.” Why she decided to go back to school and get her doctorate. Trying to understand promotions that didn't pay more money but provided tenure - another moment where her justice streak was at the forefront of her career. When she started thinking about leaving the role or moving on to bigger things, her sons were almost at university age, but she had an itch to create a different path. Her struggles with marketing and figuring out where she should be spending her time. Landing her TEDx talk through Marie Incontrera. The impact of meeting Dorie Clark. How she networks and stays connected with the different layers of her network, including 30 years of past students. Listen, subscribe, and read show notes at www.OnTheSchmooze.com

Alain Hunkins is an executive coach, leadership and team development facilitator, and keynote speaker who helps leaders, teams, and companies achieve performance goals easier. He is also the author of the book CRACKING THE LEADERSHIP CODE: Three Secrets to Building Strong Leaders.  From a young age, Alain was a keen observer of people. He noticed the differences between his life at home, being raised by his mother and grandmother, both Holocaust survivors, and being somewhat ‘glass half empty' people, and the much lighter atmospheres in his friends' homes. Upon reflection, he was lifting some heavy weights as a kid and yet, also learned how to navigate a world with many different people all around him. In college, he studied psychology and theater and went on to study acting, earning his Master's in Fine Arts. At that time, Alain attended a training weekend with the Mankind Project, which changed his life. That experience transformed the direction of his career towards group facilitation, arts education, and corporate training. Over his twenty-five-year career, Alain has worked with over 3,000 groups of leaders in 27 countries, including 42 of the Fortune 100 companies. Every spring, Alain runs an online gamified 30-day Leadership Challenge for a cohort of people from around the world. They participate for five to ten minutes a day, tactically practicing the skills of becoming better connectors, better communicators, and better collaborators. You can participate! Email Alain, noting you heard about the challenge through me and my podcast. He will send you a discount code to get a reduced rate. The challenge starts on May 15, 2023.

A leader is neither born nor made. A leader chooses to be a leader. So does that mean, it has always been inside us all the time? Most of us fail at it because we go straight into leadership skills without first addressing the leader's mindset. Leadership is more than just a title.  Who you are is how you lead. It's that simple.As you reflect on your own leadership, I'd invite you to answer the question, “Who are you being?” with Alain HunkinsWhen you show up to work, or lead in your home, or community, “Who are you being?”The more you look for an answer, the more you become aware of your inner leader.Over his twenty-five-year career, Alain has worked with over 2,000 groups of leaders in 27 countries, including 42 of the Fortune 100 companies.
