Send us a textEpisode 137: What if the key to transforming your business lies not in adding more resources, but in simply understanding how your employees move through their workspace? In this eye-opening conversation with Service Physics co-founders Brian Reece and Steve Crowley, we uncover the hidden costs of inefficient processes that might be quietly draining your profits and customer satisfaction.Website: www.servicephysics.comService Physics app download: Apple StoreService Physics app download: AndroidBrian Reece: LinkedInSteve Crowley: LinkedInBrian and Steve's journey began at Starbucks during the financial crisis, where they witnessed firsthand how applying lean principles transformed a struggling company into a global powerhouse. After further refining their approach at Anheuser-Busch, they founded Service Physics with a mission to make these powerful techniques accessible to businesses of all sizes. Their unique consulting approach—which they playfully describe as "doing consulting wrong"—focuses on being physically present in the workspace, collecting real data, and experimenting with improvements rather than simply delivering recommendations.One of their most powerful revelations? The true cost of motion. Through simple techniques like "spaghetti diagrams" that track worker movements, they demonstrate how activities that look like work but add no value (like walking) can represent 10% of labor costs—translating to millions in opportunity costs for mid-sized companies. Even more striking is their finding that most service businesses already have sufficient equipment capacity; they're simply not using it efficiently.What sets Service Physics apart is their focus on driving top-line growth rather than merely cutting costs. By helping businesses understand leading indicators (like customer queue length or transaction time) rather than just lagging metrics (like sales), they enable proactive improvements that capture previously unmet customer demand. Their entrepreneurial journey offers valuable lessons in bootstrapping a business, building systems that don't rely solely on founders, and creating clarity through effective communication—including innovative approaches like using AI to transform quarterly updates into podcasts.Ready to discover how much hidden capacity your business already has?

What if your business could feel as nurturing to your soul as it is profitable to your bank account? In this powerful season finale, I reveal how my three-month sabbatical transformed not just my inner landscape, but completely revolutionized how I approach my business. This isn't just another "work-life balance" conversation—it's a radical reimagining of what a soul-aligned business can truly be. I'm pulling back the curtains on exactly how I identified the energy leaks draining my creative life force and the specific steps I'm taking to build a regenerative business ecosystem that amplifies my impact without depleting my spirit. For those who resonated with Ep 62's personal transformations, this ep delivers the practical business blueprint that emerged from those spiritual insights. To sum up, you'll discover how to design a business that honors both soul and strategy—where inspired action replaces forced productivity, and where structure serves creativity rather than suffocating it. Note: If you haven't yet listened to Ep 62 "What 3 Months of Complete Rest Taught Me About Success, Story, and Soul Alignment," I recommend starting there to understand the personal journey that led to this business revolution. THE THREE PILLARS OF A REGENERATIVE BUSINESS: ✨ Identify & Plug Energy Leaks The paper cuts hiding in plain sight that were silently draining my business vitality—from unnecessary team tasks to the performative content treadmill that was turning me into an "on-demand product" rather than a human being. Moreover, learn how to conduct your own energy audit and reclaim your creative sovereignty. ✨ Apply Permaculture Principles to Business Design How I'm transforming my business into a living ecosystem using insights from natural systems. Discover the revolutionary "Living Library" concept that's replacing my constant content creation with a regenerative wisdom-sharing approach that feels deeply nourishing to both me and my audience. ✨ Create Structures That Serve, Not Suffocate The complete infrastructure redesign that honors creative energy while maintaining powerful structure. Learn how I'm redefining success metrics beyond follower counts, reimagining my entire customer journey, and automating repetitive tasks to preserve my most valuable resource—my creative energy. HIGHLIGHT QUOTES: For me, the joy of building a business isn't about how fast I can scale it. It's how aligned I can grow it. Celinne Da Costa I started to feel like a product instead of a human. My sabbatical and the restructuring of my business is a big break away from that because I don't want to be an on-demand product. Celinne Da Costa I'm building a business ecosystem that regenerates rather than depletes—where structure serves creativity rather than suffocates it, and where every element plays a role in creating sustainable abundance.

Despite the advantages in processing and productivity, many still have concerns about using AI in their everyday lives at home and in business. This begs the question: Should AI be something we fear, or is it just new technology that we should embrace? Here to help answer those questions is Jay Jacobs. Jay is BlackRock's Head of Thematic and Active ETFs, where he oversees the overall product strategy, thought leadership, and client engagement for the firm's thematic and active ETF businesses.

AI and entrepreneurship are reshaping the future of business, innovation, and leadership. In this episode, we sit down with Steven Zeller, a futurist, entrepreneur, and thought leader, to explore how AI is revolutionizing industries, changing how we work, and creating new business opportunities.

What is the future of document generation in 2025, and how should businesses navigate the risks of AI? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Christian Lund, co-founder of Templafy, to explore how AI-powered document automation is reshaping productivity, compliance, and security in modern enterprises. As companies push for greater efficiency, many are adopting AI tools to streamline workflows. But AI's effectiveness depends heavily on context—and context is something you can't always rely on users to provide. Christian shares why most people approach AI like a search engine, entering a handful of keywords and expecting the right results. But would you brief a colleague with just a few disjointed words? Better briefs lead to better outputs, whether you're working with humans or AI.  This is where Templafy steps in, delivering AI-powered document generation solutions that integrate seamlessly with platforms like Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and Salesforce. Trusted by over 800 enterprises, including KPMG, BDO, and Adobe, Templafy automates document creation while maintaining compliance and brand consistency—saving employees up to 30 days per year. We also dive into why the best automation happens when humans are less involved. Far from sidelining human input, this approach reduces compliance risks and frees employees to focus on high-value work that drives business growth. Christian explains how Templafy orchestrates AI models, data sources, and workflows to ensure optimal outcomes, from sales collateral to RFP responses. Plus, we explore future trends, including AI agents and stronger orchestration that allows businesses to stay in control of AI-powered processes. How can businesses balance the push for faster workflows with the need for secure, compliant documents? And what role will AI agents play in tomorrow's document generation landscape? Tune in to discover how Templafy is paving the way for smarter, safer automation.

Dave Sobel engages with Holly Rollo to discuss the critical role small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) play in national security. Rollo emphasizes that in today's interconnected environment, the security practices of every company are vital, as vulnerabilities often arise from third-party interactions. She highlights the importance of maintaining robust cybersecurity measures, particularly as many breaches have occurred through less secure connections with external partners.The conversation shifts to the federal government's efforts to enhance cybersecurity through initiatives like CMMC 2.0, which aims to regulate and improve security standards among defense contractors. Rollo argues that while compliance is essential for those directly involved in federal contracts, the organic flow of data across various channels means that even businesses not directly linked to federal work must prioritize cybersecurity. She uses the example of a company providing HR software to construction firms, illustrating how even seemingly benign businesses can be targets for cyber threats due to their connections to critical infrastructure projects.Sobel raises concerns about the competing priorities small businesses face, suggesting that the perceived penalties for inadequate cybersecurity may not be severe enough to prompt immediate action. Rollo counters this by explaining that cybersecurity issues are often intertwined with broader operational challenges, such as outdated technology and data integrity problems. She argues that addressing these issues holistically can lead to improved business resilience and profitability, making a compelling case for integrating cybersecurity into overall business strategy rather than viewing it as a separate concern.The discussion also touches on the challenges companies face in adopting generative AI technologies. Rollo points out that many organizations lack a clear business strategy and understanding of their market fit, which hinders their ability to leverage AI effectively. She stresses the need for companies to modernize their systems and workflows before attempting to implement AI solutions, as doing so without addressing foundational issues can lead to suboptimal outcomes. Ultimately, Rollo's insights underscore the necessity for businesses to prioritize cybersecurity and strategic planning to thrive in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Technology changes have always meant business changes, but with technology changing this fast, how long can businesses keep up? How can businesses work with technology to increase their own yields exponentially?Azeem Azhar is the founder of Exponential View, a platform that features podcasts, newsletters, and video content. Azeem is also the author of the book The Exponential Age: How Accelerating Technology is Transforming Business, Politics and Society.Greg and Azeem discuss the rapid technological transformations reshaping business, politics, and society, transitioning from a linear era to an exponential age. Azeem explains the historical turning points of technological revolutions, the economic implications of these changes, and the role of general-purpose technologies like certain AI models and solar photovoltaics. They also go over the challenges and opportunities faced by corporations and government bodies in adapting to these rapid changes, and how to mitigate many problems with the practice of continuous learning within organizations.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:Ray KurzweilUnSILOed: Episode 360: Robert J.

There are  clearly some good directions to head in, but they're a bit complicated to bring into an organization. And then the question about learning is this: Are you willing to do the work to bring onboard a powerful technology that's a bit complicated? That may mean you got to read a document on a weekend rather than golf, or do you not want to do that work? And I love learning, as you do. This podcast is about learning. Of course, I'm going to tell people, "Just do the work, get learning." Because it's never going to stabilize, right? This technology is not going to stabilize. It'll get better in many different ways and, therefore, harder to use. I can drive a Tesla Model 3; I can't drive a V12 Ferrari. I'm not a good enough driver to drive a great car. And so we have to get better at them. And that ultimately is your choice.Are we all students in this exponential age?49:58: In this new world, into the exponential age, we all become students because the world is going to change so rapidly. On the other hand, the cost of being a student is much lower than it ever has been because I've got a professor in my pocket. I will continue to learn, and I can continue to actively learn about the world.AI's public good—who benefits and how?54:07: I think that, with AI, the potential public good and social good of being able to put humanity's knowledge into systems that can become freely and widely available should force a process—an open process of discussion about how those rewards should get split and who should get what.
