Podcast: Don't Panic! It's Just DataGuest: Michael Marolda, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Agentic RAG at Progress SoftwareHost: Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360TechGenerative AI has been brewing in the enterprise tech industry for at least three years now. AI pilots are launching every other day, internal copilots are deployed across enterprise divisions, and now teams themselves are experimenting with large language models (LLMs) to automate business workflows. Such additions have sped up research and notably improved productivity.While the excitement is valid, the truth beneath is often disregarded. Many enterprise AI systems produce answers that sound convincing, even when they are completely wrong.In the recent episode of the Don't Panic! It's Just Data podcast, Michael Marolda, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Agentic RAG at Progress Software, sat down with host Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360Tech.Marolda argued that the problem is not necessarily with the AI models themselves. The real issue is with the enterprise data foundations supporting them.“Your AI is only as good as the knowledge it has access to,” Marolda explained during the conversation. The question is what the gap is alluded to in the AI enterprise tech space.Also Read: Build vs. Buy: The Reality of Production-Grade RAGWhat's the Hidden Risk Costing Enterprises?According to Marolda, around 80 per cent of enterprise data remains unstructured. This includes PDFs, contracts, emails, audio files, presentations, scanned documents, videos, and handwritten notes. This is the kind of information that traditional AI systems struggle to process reliably.While enterprises are heavily investing in AI infrastructure and model testing, many still do not have systems capable of organising, retrieving, and validating this scattered knowledge. The outcome often turns into a situation where AI tools begin to generate responses without the necessary business context, despite excellent prompt engineering.“We've seen enterprises rush into AI implementations,” Marolda said. “But many pilots fail to scale because the information isn't grounded in real business data.” It ultimately poses major operational risks for companies, especially in highly regulated industries.During the podcast, Marolda mentioned a high-profile case involving an airline chatbot that provided customers with incorrect policy information, leading to legal consequences for the company. The issue was not due to malicious intent or a technical failure at the model level — it was due to unreliable data grounding.For enterprises using AI in customer service, HR, legal operations, finance, or internal knowledge systems, such errors are not rare. In fact, they've become a governance issue.Is Modern RAG the Solution?Enterprises tend to rely on data lakes as centralised storage for vast amounts of information. However, Marolda makes a point about how storage is no longer enough in the age of AI. “A data lake is just cheap storage,” he explained. “A knowledge layer is what actually activates that information for AI.”This difference is increasingly important as enterprises move from testing to operational AI deployment. Traditional storage systems can hold documents, but they cannot interpret relationships between data points, retrieve context semantically, or validate AI-generated outputs against source material.An enterprise knowledge layer, on the other hand, is designed to fill that gap. Marolda tells Dua that modern retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems can process unstructured data, apply optical character recognition (OCR), convert speech to text from video and audio, and build semantic connections across enterprise content.This enables AI systems to retrieve not just documents, but highly specific pieces of contextual information, including paragraph-level citations and timestamped video references.For enterprise leaders, the implications are significant. Rather than viewing AI as a separate assistant, enterprises are increasingly seeing AI as a retrieval and reasoning layer built on top of their knowledge ecosystems.How Should Enterprises Prioritise Efficiency Over Hype?The economics of AI was a critical discussion Marolda had with Dua. He noted that while many AI providers continue to push for higher token consumption and larger workloads, enterprises such as Progress Software are now beginning to value efficiency instead.Unlike NVIDIA's enterprise philosophy, as proposed by its CEO Jensen Huang, is a new compensation model where engineers receive annual AI token budgets worth half their base salary on top of regular pay. During a live interview on the All-In Podcast, recorded in San Jose, California, in March 2026 at Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference (GTC), Huang stated: "If a $500,000 Engineer Did Not Consume At Least $250,000 Worth of Tokens, I'm Going To Be Deeply Alarmed."“We're actually trying to reduce token consumption,” he explained. Such an approach contrasts with broader industry trends focused on maximising AI use at scale. As enterprise AI budgets become more established, CIOs and CFOs are scrutinising infrastructure costs, energy consumption, and long-term operational sustainability.It's particularly relevant as enterprises pit multiple LLMs against each other for quality, relevance, and cost efficiency. According to Progress's Sr. Product Marketing Manager, the next phase of enterprise AI adoption won't be driven by model capability alone. It will be guided by practical governance, meaning identifying which systems produce the best results at reasonable costs.Overall, successful AI adoption is not just about selecting the right model but, in fact, pivoting towards building the right knowledge architecture.For instance, enterprises continue to invest in generative AI; the enterprises that thrive may be the ones that can effectively structure, govern, retrieve, and validate their institutional knowledge.Key TakeawaysEnterprise AI hallucinations increase without grounded enterprise data.Agentic RAG helps enterprises reduce AI hallucinations and improve accuracy.Unstructured data is the biggest challenge in enterprise AI adoption.Enterprise knowledge layers improve AI governance and traceability.AI token reduction lowers enterprise AI infrastructure costs.RAG architecture helps enterprises scale trustworthy AI systems.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Enterprise AI and Knowledge Layer02:13 Challenges with Unstructured Data in AI08:11 The Importance of a Knowledge Layer12:04 Trust and Governance in AI Solutions16:48 Progress's Unique Approach to AI Solutions19:15 Agentic RAG: A New Paradigm in AI Retrieval24:52 Real-World Applications of Agentic RAG26:39 Maintaining Quality and Performance in AI Systems28:01 Key Takeaways for IT Decision MakersFor more enterprise AI, Agentic RAG, data governance, and enterprise knowledge layer insights, follow Progress Software across its official channels:Website: Progress SoftwareYouTube: @ProgressSWLinkedIn: Progress SoftwareX: @ProgressSWFor more

Imagine the possibilities if you stopped waiting until you felt ready and just committed to the idea you've had that could make a huge impact on other people's lives. If you've ever felt the pull to make a bigger difference but told yourself you didn't have enough time, money, or clarity to begin, this conversation will challenge that excuse in the best possible way. It's a powerful reminder that impact doesn't start when everything is figured out. It starts the moment you decide to take action. Today, I'm joined by my friend Matt King, CEO of GoBundance, who is preparing to ride his bike 2,000 miles from Mexico to Canada over 13 consecutive days! Why is he doing it? His goal is to raise over $1 million that will be given directly to people in overlooked communities along the route. No nonprofit overhead, just real people helping others in ways that will make a huge impact immediately. In our conversation, Matt shares why he committed to this mission before he knew exactly how it would come together, and how that decision set everything in motion. We talk about how great outcomes are achieved by taking action first, what it means to lead by example for your kids, and why so many of us spend our lives waiting for permission instead of trusting that we'll find the way once we begin. Above all else, Matt explains how seemingly small acts of kindness can make someone feel seen, loved, and heard, and how anyone can get started if they want to achieve something that's bigger than themselves.

If you care about elite golf performance, you can't ignore your golf mindset or your golf mental game. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Lardon—a psychiatrist and performance expert who has worked with Olympians, major champions, and elite competitors—to explore what truly separates good players from those capable of sustained excellence. Together, we go beyond surface-level routines and visualization to clarify the difference between sports psychology and sports psychiatry, unpack what anxiety actually is from a biological and nervous system perspective, and explain why so many golfers sabotage their performance by time-traveling into the past or future. You'll learn why outcome goals create pressure while process goals unlock performance, how to channel intensity without tipping into volatility, and why positive obsession, creativity, rest, and play are essential to sustaining elite golf performance over years—not just one hot stretch. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between sports psychology vs sports psychiatry—and why it matters What anxiety is (physiology, emotions, thoughts) and why it becomes chronic How "time traveling" creates anxiety—and how presence dissolves it Positive obsession vs destructive obsession—and how to sustain passion for decades How to use the creative mind (visual, rhythm, feel) to access the zone Why the best performers are humble, curious, and mastery-driven The role of rest, recovery, humor, and play in elite longevity If you want a stronger golf mental game, more emotional control under pressure, and a deeper understanding of how to access the zone on demand, this conversation delivers both the science and the strategy.

It arises when your mind leaves the present moment and starts time traveling into the past or future, creating a gap between where you are and where your thoughts are. Elite golf performance is built on process goals, not outcome goals. Winning, making the cut, or shooting a number are results; committing fully to each shot is the only controllable path to those results. Positive obsession fuels mastery; destructive obsession fuels burnout. The difference is whether your intensity is rooted in passion and love for the craft—or fear, validation, and imbalance. The creative mind unlocks the zone. Great players move from left-brain planning (distance, wind, lie) to right-brain creation (see it, feel it, rhythm it) before executing with trust and "no brain." Fun and pressure cannot coexist at full volume. Reconnecting to enjoyment, perspective, and passion lowers anxiety and opens the door to freer, more instinctive performance. Key Quotes: "So if I can be fully present, there is no anxiety, if you will. Now, not an easy thing to do… but where should my mind be? It should be in the gap between two thoughts." "If you want the good grade, you don't think, 'I'm gonna make the good grade.' What you think about is, 'This is the material in front of me and I need to master it.' And if I do that, that translates into a good grade." "Fun and being pathologically nervous—they're not possible together. If you're laughing and you're having fun, we open up the avenue of really doing good things." "Those who know do not think. And those who think do not know." "We're the noisiest passenger of our own ship. We think we know what's going on—we think we control it—but not really. Our unconscious mind is processing things all the time."

Scott Fawcett flips the script and interviews me—Paul Salter, The Golf Hypnotherapist—to pull back the curtain on what hypnosis actually is (and what it's not), how it compares to meditation, and why so many golfers struggle with their mental game and stay stuck even when they "know what to do." We dig into the real reason consistency collapses (hint: it's not laziness), what I mean by destructive mindset programs, and how fear of next-level success quietly drives self-sabotage. I also explain memory reconsolidation—why your past isn't "over" just because you've compartmentalized it—and how releasing old emotional charge can free up energy, focus, and execution when it matters most. In this episode, you'll learn: The real difference between hypnosis and the "pocket watch" caricature Why meditation helps—but why it often isn't enough for identity-level change How fear of success can be the hidden reason you stop doing what works What "memory reconsolidation" is and how it impacts performance Why the yips and performance anxiety often have roots outside golf The difference between surface-level tools vs subconscious rewiring Why stress is often an "energy leak" from unresolved internal conflict If you've tried sports psychology, visualization, breathwork, and self-talk… and still feel like there's something deeper running the show, this conversation will connect a lot of dots.

High-Performance Hypnotherapy and Mindset Coaching Paul Salter - known as The Golf Hypnotherapist - is a High-Performance Hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach who leverages hypnosis and powerful subconscious reprogramming techniques to help golfers of all ages and skill levels overcome the mental hazards of their minds so they can shoot lower scores and play to their potential. He has over 16 years of coaching experience working with high performers in various industries, helping them get unstuck, out of their own way, and unlock their full potential. Click here to learn more about how high-performance hypnotherapy and mindset coaching can help you get out of your own way and play to your potential on (and off) the course.  Instagram: @thepaulsalter Key Takeaways: Hypnosis isn't mind control—it's a natural brain state you already enter daily. The work is simply learning to access it intentionally for change. Meditation and hypnosis overlap in brainwaves, but hypnosis adds direction. It's not just relaxing—it's targeted problem-solving and identity work. Most inconsistency is subconscious protection, not lack of discipline. When success feels unfamiliar, the mind pulls you back toward "safe" and predictable. Self-sabotage is often sneaky and cumulative. It shows up as small broken promises (sleep, meditation, workouts), not just obvious destructive behaviors. Next-level performance requires detachment from outcome. "Need to / have to / should" language is a dead giveaway you're gripping the result. Memory reconsolidation changes your relationship with the past. You don't erase memories—you drain the emotional charge so they stop hijacking the present. Your golf game carries your whole life onto the course. Unresolved family dynamics, identity pressure, and old emotional pain can create mental interference that looks like "golf problems." Key Quotes: "Hypnosis…it's not magic. It's not brainwashing. It's a natural state of mind." "If you know what to do and you're not doing it…that's a mindset problem." "Most people are afraid of next level success or being the best version of themselves." "The sneaky lowercase-s self-sabotage…is breaking the little promises you keep to yourself." "You can control your process…but not the outcome." "Memory reconsolidation is like opening a Word document and doing some editing." "You bring your whole self to the golf course…most of the stressors are completely unrelated to golf."

Pete Shalek, founder of Valerie Health, is a multi-time healthcare entrepreneur who previously founded Joyable in 2013 (one of the earliest digital mental health platforms) and served as Chief Product Officer at AbleTo and Stellar Health. Pete discusses why AI in healthcare needs to move beyond selling software tools to actually doing the work for providers. He shares hard-won lessons from a decade in digital health, including why the shift to quality-based care in behavioral health has been surprisingly slow and why Joyable's therapist-free model was ahead of its time relative to payment models. The conversation covers Valerie's approach of building an AI front office that handles referrals, scheduling, and intake for independent medical practices without requiring them to learn new software, achieving 3-4 week implementations and 5-7% conversion lifts. Pete explains the technical challenges of structuring unstructured healthcare data with 100% accuracy, the strategic choice to own operations end-to-end rather than just provide tools, why referrals are the perfect wedge product as the most upstream data point, and his evolving views on how quickly AI will impact the gray area between administrative and clinical work. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of meeting healthcare where it is (turning faxes into structured data rather than trying to force system-wide transformation) and building for today's payment models while working toward a bigger vision. (0:00) Intro(0:52) Pete's Journey in Digital Health(1:45) Challenges in Behavioral Health(3:38) Valerie Health: An AI Front Office(4:47) Valerie's Unique Approach to Software(6:16) Customer-Centric Solutions(8:38) Data and AI in Healthcare(10:19) Building a Successful Health Tech Company(13:19) Future of AI in Healthcare(16:16) Operational Challenges and Solutions(28:57) Pricing and Value Delivery(30:12) Quickfire Out-Of-Pocket: https://www.outofpocket.health/

Patients may inadvertently cling to their pain, viewing it as a form of control or normalcy within a chaotic family structure. Addressing these dynamics sensitively is crucial to effective treatment. **FSM's Unique Approach to Pain and Scar Tissue** FSM offers an innovative way to address pain that stems from scar tissue and inflamed nerves. Traditional medical systems often lack tools to relieve patients from such chronic pain effectively. FSM tackles this issue by focusing on the fundamental cause: the scar tissue within nerves. By addressing these physical barriers, FSM provides relief where standard treatments may falter. **Case Study: Overcoming Chronic Nerve Pain** Consider the scenario of a patient who has undergone multiple surgeries and suffers from persistent sciatica due to scarred nerves. FSM can improve sensation and reduce pain levels by utilizing specific frequencies targeting the affected nerves and their surrounding structures. Through meticulous manipulation and microcurrent application, practitioners can transform a patient's experience from constant unyielding pain to manageable levels, allowing for a renewed quality of life. **Addressing Comorbid Conditions** Pain rarely appears in isolation. Conditions such as kidney toxicity, allergic skin reactions, or systemic causes like inflammation from menopause may exacerbate a patient's situation. FSM can address these underlying issues by employing targeted frequencies that alleviate symptoms and restore balance to affected organs. **The Necessity for Patience in Treatment** A critical element of successful FSM treatment is patience—for both the practitioner and the patient. Chronic conditions often require multiple sessions to achieve notable improvements. Encouraging patients to trust the process and embrace incremental progress is vital to successful outcomes. **Special Considerations: Allergies and Autoimmunity** When dealing with conditions like allergic skin rashes, it's crucial to address both the symptomology and the immune system's overreaction. By running sequences that mitigate allergic responses and enhance vagus nerve function, FSM can provide relief from chronic allergic manifestations. **The Role of the Practitioner: Creating Customized Solutions** Medical practitioners are encouraged to incorporate FSM by tailoring it to the unique needs of each patient. The versatility of FSM's frequency applications allows clinicians to craft individualized treatment protocols—ranging from sciatica pain management to addressing internal organ complications like kidney stones or interstitial cystitis.
