In this message, we unpack how modern Christianity has overly structurized our faith, leaving many believers trapped in an exhausting cycle of secret guilt and shame.We slam on the gas pedal, rushing through Bible reading frantically, and rattling off rapid-fire prayers just to feel a temporary sigh of relief just to keep up. We've accidentally equated breakneck speed with true devotion. There lives within a feeling of always letting God down.But what about when life hits hard? For those battling chronic illness or burnout, this rigid structure creates an entirely different dimension of suffering. It also sets everyone up for failure. Through Christian maturity, we discover this is NOT how Jesus wants us to live. Ironically, the very rituals we use to get closer to God can become walls that distance us from Him.God doesn't want you to sprint; He wants you to exhale. Even in the darkest circumstances imaginable, Anne Frank found a profound deep connection to the Creator.She beautifully wrote: "The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God."It is time to unstructure your faith. Step outside, slow down, and let the Lord minister to you through His awesome creation. Let Him speak to you. Allow Him to fill you with new breath, peaceful quiet, and genuine joy that gives you wings like an eagle."I looked up in the sky and trusted in God.” ― Anne Frank

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

Send us Fan MailOn todays episode we talk about what unstructured play really is: kid-led, flexible, sometimes loud, sometimes messy, and quietly essential for healthy development.We connect the dots between free play and the skills families wish kids could “just learn” faster: negotiation, conflict repair, empathy, creativity, and resilience. We also talk about what gets lost when childhood is packed with testing pressure, nonstop activities, and constant screen stimulation. Structured sports and adult-led programs can be great, but they are not the same thing as peer-negotiated play where kids create rules, test limits, and learn what fairness feels like.Then we move through real-world parenting questions: what unstructured play looks like for toddlers, elementary kids, and teenagers (yes, teens still “play,” even if it looks like tinkering, music sharing, and hanging out). We dig into boredom as a feature, not a flaw, and why calm downtime helps the brain organize learning. If you've ever felt tempted to fix boredom instantly, this conversation gives you a better option that supports brain-based parenting and long-term emotional regulation.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
After disappearing for six weeks, Chris and Jay are back — and the rust is barely noticeable.This week, we attempt to catch up on everything we've missed, including Jay's bold attempt to get the Mayor of Milton Keynes into a gi, and a visit from comedian, podcaster, and BJJ blue belt Chris Ramsey.We also look ahead to Netflix's big MMA event and dive into a review of Remember the Titans — revisiting the speeches, the team dynamics, and why this might be one of the our favourite sports films ever.There's rust, there's rambling, and plenty of “what were we talking about again?” energy — but it's good to be back.Unstructured, unpredictable, and slightly unhinged — but still Better Than Average.
In this episode, Ken and Barney take a warm trip down memory lane, sharing stories of creek discoveries, backyard baseball, wandering neighborhoods, and the kind of unstructured play that somehow sticks with you for a lifetime. Jacob even drops in for a surprise cameo!

Episode Summary In this episode of the Prosperity Podcast, Spencer Shaw and Kim Butler explore the growing disconnect between generations around money—and how multi-generational family councils can close that gap. As younger generations feel priced out of traditional milestones and turn toward speculative "investments," Kim explains how wisdom, structure, and conversation can replace gambling with perspective. Through stories, practical examples, and simple exercises, this episode shows how intentional dialogue—across all ages—creates financial clarity, resilience, and shared progress over time.

What if the real advantage in AI lies not in having more data, but in having less?In this episode of the Don't Panic, It's Just Data podcast, host Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360Tech, sits down with Herb Blecher, Research Director of Data and Analytics at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). This conversation challenges a common belief in enterprise tech – that gathering everything ensures insight. Blecher, alluding to the modern-day AI craze, cautions the enterprise audience that just because you can access vast amounts of unstructured data doesn't mean you should.What is the AI Gold Rush & Why It's Risky?Unstructured data now fills the enterprise tech space — voice calls, financial documents, customer chats, images, logs, and emails. “With AI and machine learning, we've finally figured out how to access and organise it.”However, Blecher offers a stark reality check. AI doesn't just increase insight; it increases error. When machines transition from calculating numbers to interpreting tone, images, and incomplete context, the chances for mistakes rise significantly. A blurry comma in a financial document, a misread abbreviation, a misplaced decimal. In low-stakes situations, this is inconvenient. In finance or healthcare, it can be disastrous.The danger lies not just in faulty outputs, but in confidently flawed outputs. AI doesn't hesitate as humans do. It doesn't say, “This seems off.” It fills in gaps, often convincingly. That confidence, Blecher argues, makes governance essential.The real issue companies face isn't a lack of data; it's a lack of careful thought.Also Read: AI is Making “As-Code” InevitableWhy Human-in-the-Loop is Imperative?Governance over hype is the key takeaway from the conversation. AI generating and using data at the same time creates a new situation. In the past, including financial troubles that Blecher experienced directly, human judgment acted as the final protection. Now, companies risk losing that safeguard in their rush to automate.Dua puts it simply – humans are leaders; AI is the helper.The enterprises that succeed with unstructured data aren't the fastest; they are the most thoughtful. They clearly define their questions first, build feedback loops, monitor continuously, and foster a culture of scepticism.What are the failures? They often look like ambitious automation without safeguards—from flawed document scanning to high-profile AI rollouts like McDonald's testing automated drive-through ordering, where conversational nuance proved more challenging than anticipated.Tone, ambiguity, and context remain distinguishing human areas.What Happens Five Years From Now?Will AI solve data quality issues? No, it will not. However, Blecher believes that data quality problems are here to stay. “What will change is the range of questions we try to answer. As AI develops, companies won't stop dealing with edge cases; they'll broaden the edge.”The future doesn't promise easy automation. It promises increased capability, increased capacity, along with increased responsibility.For CFOs and IT leaders investing in AI-driven data strategies, EMA's Research Director of Data and Analytics has a final message:Don't confuse volume with value.Don't replace governance with optimism.Don't give up scepticism in a gold rush.AI's potential is huge. But more data doesn't always mean better data. In a world eager to gather everything, restraint could be the most radical strategy of all.Key Takeaways More data doesn't guarantee better insights — clarity of purpose matters more than volume.AI doesn't just scale intelligence; it scales errors if governance is weak.Unstructured data is powerful, but without context and oversight, it becomes a liability.Human judgment remains essential — especially in high-stakes domains like finance and healthcare.The most successful organisations move deliberately, not impulsively, in the AI gold rush.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Data Quality and Its Importance02:43 The Rise of Unstructured Data05:42 Challenges in Ensuring Data Quality08:46 AI's Role in Data Quality Management11:30 Human Oversight in AI and Data Quality14:47 Opportunities in Data Quality17:32 Governance and Regulation in AI20:25 Real-World Applications and Case Studies23:27 Future of Data Quality and AI26:18 Key Takeaways for LeadersAbout Herb BlecherHerb leads EMA's Data and Analytics practice.

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: AI Single Page Importer Brief history How old: created in Jan 2026 by Mark Conroy (markconroy) who listeners may know from his work on the LocalGov distribution and install profile Versions available: 1.0.0-alpha3, which works with Drupal core 10 or 11 Maintainership Actively maintained Documentation - pretty extensive README, which is also currently in use as the project page No issues yet Usage stats: 2 sites Module features and usage With this module enabled, you'll have a new "AI Content Import" section at the top of the node creation form. In there you can provide the URL of the existing page to use, and then click "Import Content with AI". That will trigger a process where OpenAI will ingest and analyze the existing page. It will extract values to populate your node fields, and then you can review or change those values before saving the node. In the configuration you can specify the AI model to use, a maximum content length, an HTTP request timeout value, which content types should have the importer available, and then also prevent abuse by specifying blocked domains, a flood limit, and a flood window. You will also need to grant a new permission to use the importer for any user roles that should have access. The module also includes a number of safeguards. For example, it will only accept URLs using HTTP or HTTPS protocols, private IP ranges are blocked, and by default it will only allow 5 requests per user per hour. It will perform HTML purification for long text fields, and strip tags for short text fields. In addition, it removes dangerous attributes like onclick or inline javascript, and generates CKEditor-compatible output. It currently supports a list of field types that include text_long, text_with_summary, string, text, datetime, daterange, timestamps and link fields. It also supports entity reference fields, but only for taxonomy terms. Listeners may also be aware of the Unstructured module which does some similar things, but requires you to use an Unstructured service or run a server using their software. So I would say that AI Single Page Importer is perhaps a little more narrow in scope but works with an OpenAI account instead of requiring the less commonly used Unstructured.
If your health habits keep slipping, the problem isn't a lack of motivation, it's a lack of structure. In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk explains why willpower, hope, and short bursts of motivation aren't enough to create lasting results. Instead, sustainable progress comes from building simple systems that work even when life and business get busy. Kirk shares three practical principles to help entrepreneurs stay consistent with their health year-round, without extreme routines or unrealistic expectations. In this episode, Kirk covers: Why most people struggle because their system is broken, not their discipline How to use the minimum effective dose to stay on track during busy periods The key non-negotiables for training, steps, hydration, and nutrition Why planning your health the day before improves consistency How to move from reactive decisions to proactive control Why aiming for 80% consistency beats chasing perfection The mindset of "less but better" for long-term results This episode is a reminder that sustainable health isn't built on motivation — it's built on structure, planning, and consistent execution.

If you've ever shipped fast only to realize no one wanted what you built, you've felt the tension behind balancing building and feedback. As developers, we're trained to execute against known requirements. As soon as you step into product ownership, consulting, or entrepreneurship, those guardrails disappear. Now you have to decide what to build, who it's for, and why it matters—while still making forward progress. Get it wrong, and you either drown in feedback or disappear into code. Get it right, and you create steady momentum without wasting effort. This interview continues our discussion with Tyler Dane as we break down a practical, repeatable system for balancing building and feedback so you can keep shipping and stay aligned with real customer needs. About Tyler Dane Tyler Dane has dedicated his career to helping people better manage—and truly appreciate—their time. After working as a full-time Software Engineer, Tyler recently stepped away from traditional employment to focus entirely on building Compass Calendar, a productivity app designed to help everyday users visualize and plan their day more intentionally. The tool is built from firsthand experience, not theory—shaped by years of experimenting with productivity systems, tools, and workflows. In a bold reset, Tyler sold most of his belongings and relocated to San Francisco to focus on growing the product, collaborating with partners, and pushing Compass forward. Outside of coding, Tyler creates YouTube videos and writes about time management and productivity. After consuming countless productivity books, tools, and frameworks, he realized a common trap: doing more without actually accomplishing what matters. That insight led him to break productivity down into its most practical, nuanced components—cutting through hustle culture noise to focus on systems that actually work. Tyler is unapologetically honest and independent. With no investors, no sponsors, and nothing to sell beyond the value of his work, his focus is simple: help people get more done—and appreciate the limited time they have to do it. Follow Tyler on LinkedIn, YouTube, and X. Balancing building and feedback starts with a clear v1 The biggest cause of wasted effort isn't bad code—it's unclear scope. A clear v1 isn't a long feature list; it's a decision about which problem you are solving first. When v1 is defined, feedback becomes directional instead of distracting. You can evaluate every request with a simple question: Does this help solve the v1 problem? If the answer is no, it goes into a parking lot—not the backlog. Without that clarity, every conversation feels urgent, and every idea feels equally important. Balancing building and feedback by timeboxing your week Unstructured time leads to extremes. One week becomes all coding. The next becomes all conversations. Neither works for long. Timeboxing forces balance by design. Decide when you build and when you listen—and protect those blocks like production systems. This removes decision fatigue and prevents emotional swings based on the latest conversation. The Weekly Balance Blueprint Pick a structure: daily outreach blocks or one dedicated feedback day Convert feedback into next-week priorities instead of mid-week pivots Consistency matters more than perfection. Balancing building and feedback with daily "business refocus" blocks Short check-ins keep you out of the weeds. Spend 10–15 minutes at the start and end of your day to reconnect with the business context. Ask yourself: Who is this for? What problem am I solving? What actually moved the product forward today? These moments prevent scope creep and help you code with intent instead of habit. Balancing building and feedback using personal sprints Personal sprints introduce rhythm. Two- or three-week cycles work well because they're long enough to produce meaningful output and short enough to adjust course. Each sprint should include: Focused build time Planned feedback windows Explicit integration of what you learned This keeps learning and execution tightly coupled, rather than competing for attention. Balancing building and feedback through problem-first customer research Feedback becomes overwhelming when you ask the wrong questions. Feature requests are noisy. Problems are signals. Focus conversations on how people experience the problem today, what frustrates them, and what "better" looks like. This approach surfaces patterns instead of opinions. Problem-First Customer Conversations Ask about pains, workarounds, and desired outcomes Use "not our customer" signals to narrow your focus Clarity often comes from who you don't build for. Balancing building and feedback to prevent feature overload Not all feedback belongs in your product. Filtering input is a leadership skill. Use your v1 definition and target customer as a lens. Some ideas are valuable later. Some indicate a different market entirely. Saying "no" protects your momentum and your sanity. Balancing building and feedback by turning conversations into messaging Customer conversations don't just shape the product—they shape how you talk about it. The language people use to describe their pain becomes your marketing copy. When your messaging mirrors real problems, alignment improves across sales, onboarding, and product decisions. Balancing building and feedback with journaling to spot patterns Writing creates distance. Distance creates clarity. A lightweight journaling habit helps you spot repeated mistakes, drifting priorities, and false assumptions before they become expensive. Over time, patterns become impossible to ignore. The Founder Feedback Journal Capture decisions, assumptions, and outcomes daily Review monthly to identify drift and reset priorities It's one of the simplest tools with the highest long-term ROI. Conclusion Balancing building and feedback isn't about splitting your time evenly—it's about building a system that keeps you moving forward without losing direction. Clear scope, protected time, intentional feedback loops, and honest reflection create momentum that compounds. Start small. Adjust deliberately. And remember: progress comes from building the right things, not just building faster.

Joy of the People founder and longtime coach Ted Kroeten joins Chat By The Pitch to break down what truly develops creative, intelligent players — and why most of the U.S. youth soccer system gets it upside down. Ted's “soccer as a language” philosophy reframes how kids learn, why free play must come before instruction, and how mixed-age, low-pressure environments cultivate game intelligence no coach can teach.From the failures of super clubs and the youth sports industrial complex to Joy of the People's bold commitment to no tryouts, no cuts, and no overcoaching, Ted delivers one of the clearest visions of what American development could be if we trusted kids to play again.If you care about player development, coaching, or burnout in youth sports — this episode will challenge everything you think you know.Key Talking Points• Ted's journey from late-start player to coaching leader and founder of Joy of the People• Why he walked away from the elite club model and the youth sports industrial complex• “Soccer as a language” — acquisition vs learning, Chomsky, Krashen, and immersion• What kids learn in free play that coaches cannot teach• Why Joy of the People operates with no tryouts, no cuts, no pressure• How mixed-age play, different surfaces, and alternate balls accelerate creativity• Overload vs underload: reading effort, joy, and false intensity in players• Why early free-play kids lag at first—but surpass others by U16–U19• The danger of over-rewarding performance and creating kids who only love winning• Building a true community model where every kid matters and development lastsQuotes from Ted Kroeten• "When I saw kids in play learning things I could not teach them, I knew there was something in play."• "Unstructured play, street play, free play has developed the top players in the world."• "We've been teaching soccer only with rules and techniques, not allowing acquisition to occur."• "The best way to learn a complex language is not a teacher — it's immersion."• "Kids who fall in love with explicit training programs are in danger of burning out."• "We don't have tryouts.

In this GoodKind Podcast episode, Clayton, Amy, and Chris settle into the space between Christmas and New Year's and talk about what this in-between season really feels like for families. From Advent rhythms and family traditions to debating the best day of the week for Christmas to land, the conversation unfolds into a thoughtful look at rest, celebration, and the slower pace that often arrives after the big day.The team reflects on Advent practices in their own homes, including using the Family Guide, graduating kids into new rhythms, and how traditions evolve as children grow. From there, they zoom out to the calendar itself — unpacking how the day Christmas falls on shapes travel, work expectations, school breaks, and the overall emotional tone of the holiday season.They introduce the idea of “Christmas Tide” (or what they jokingly call “overtime”) — the days between Christmas and New Year — as a gift of unstructured time. This conversation explores why that stretch can be especially meaningful for reflection, rest, and resetting as a family, without rushing straight into resolutions or productivity.The episode also touches on how January functions differently than we often expect. Rather than a month for immediate habit changes, the team talks about January as a season of reflection, with February becoming a more natural place to begin new rhythms. Along the way, they share honest stories about family schedules, staying home instead of traveling, post-Christmas transitions, and the quiet beauty of not always knowing what day of the week it is.If you've ever felt torn between holding onto Christmas and feeling ready to move forward — or wondered how to create space for reflection without pressure — this episode offers a gentle, grounded way to think about the season between celebration and the year ahead.TakeawaysThe days between Christmas and New Year can be a meaningful season of rest, reflection, and transition for families.Advent and Christmas traditions naturally evolve as kids grow, and flexibility helps those rhythms stay life-giving.The day of the week Christmas falls on shapes work, school, and family expectations more than we often realize.“Christmas Tide” or "Overtime", as the hosts call it, offers space to slow down without rushing into goals or resolutions.January works best as a reflective month, with new habits forming more naturally later on.Letting Christmas end — without dragging it out or cutting it short — can help families transition well.Unstructured time and slower rhythms play an important role in shaping healthy family habits.Chapters00:00 Season Five teaser and what's ahead02:15 Advent rhythms and family traditions04:45 Graduating kids into new holiday practices07:30 What's the best day of the week for Christmas?10:40 Work, school breaks, and holiday expectations13:20 Introducing “Christmas Tide” and overtime16:10 Staying home, reflecting, and post-Christmas rhythms18:55 January as reflection, not resolution22:30 Letting the season end well24:45 Closing thoughts and encouragementKeywordsChristmas traditions, Advent practices, Christian family rhythms, Christmas Tide, parenting during holidays, family reflection, January reflection, Christian parenting podcast, holiday habits, seasonal rhythms
As organizations race to adopt AI, many discover an uncomfortable truth: ambition often outpaces readiness. In this episode of the ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcast, host Sean Martin speaks with Julian Hamood, Founder and Chief Visionary Officer at TrustedTech, about what it really takes to operationalize AI without amplifying risk, chaos, or misinformation.Julian shares that most organizations are eager to activate tools like AI agents and copilots, yet few have addressed the underlying condition of their environments. Unstructured data sprawl, fragmented cloud architectures, and legacy systems create blind spots that AI does not fix. Instead, AI accelerates whatever already exists, good or bad.A central theme of the conversation is readiness. Julian explains that AI success depends on disciplined data classification, permission hygiene, and governance before automation begins. Without that groundwork, organizations risk exposing sensitive financial, HR, or executive data to unintended audiences simply because an AI system can surface it.The discussion also explores the operational reality beneath the surface. Most environments are a patchwork of Azure, AWS, on-prem infrastructure, SaaS platforms, and custom applications, often shaped by multiple IT leaders over time. When AI is layered onto this complexity without architectural clarity, inaccurate outputs and flawed business decisions quickly follow.Sean and Julian also examine how AI initiatives often emerge from unexpected places. Legal teams, business units, and individual contributors now build their own AI workflows using low-code and no-code tools, frequently outside formal IT oversight. At the same time, founders and CFOs push for rapid AI adoption while resisting the investment required to clean and secure the foundation.The episode highlights why AI programs are never one-and-done projects. Ongoing maintenance, data validation, and security oversight are essential as inputs change and systems evolve. Julian emphasizes that organizations must treat AI as a permanent capability on the roadmap, not a short-term experiment.Ultimately, the conversation frames AI not as a shortcut, but as a force multiplier. When paired with disciplined architecture and trusted guidance, AI enables scale, speed, and confidence. Without that discipline, it simply magnifies existing problems.Note: This story contains promotional content.

Everyone says they're “burnt out”… but are they really?In this episode of the Coach Cody Podcast, we break down the difference between real burnout or what we call “bullshit burnout” — the kind that comes from chaos, lack of structure, and too many daily decisions.Cody shares his personal experience with severe burnout after a stressful year involving business misalignment, financial loss, chronic stress, and hospitalization — and explains how real burnout shows up in the body, mind, and nervous system.In this episode, we cover:• What real burnout actually is (and why a day off doesn't fix it)• Signs you're emotionally, mentally, and physically burnt out• How lack of structure creates decision fatigue and fake burnout• The “gray zone” where most people live — under-recovered and unstructured• Why discipline doesn't always fix the problem• How to tell whether you need recovery, structure, or both• Practical next steps for burnout vs. self-created chaosWhether you're exhausted, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or stuck in survival mode, this episode will help you get honest with yourself — without shame — and figure out what actually needs to change.
In this episode of The Effortless Podcast, Amit Prakash and Dheeraj Pandey dive deep into one of the most important shifts happening in AI today: the convergence of structured and unstructured data, interfaces, and systems.Together, they unpack how conversations—not CRM fields—hold the real ground truth; why schemas still matter in an AI-driven world; and how agents can evolve into true managers, coaches, and chiefs of staff for revenue teams. They explore the cognitive science behind visual vs conversational UI, the future of dynamically generated interfaces, and the product depth required to build enduring AI-native software.Amit and Dheeraj break down the tension between deterministic and probabilistic systems, the limits of prompt-driven workflows, and why the future of enterprise AI is “both-and” rather than “either-or.” It's a masterclass in modern product, data design, and the psychology of building intelligent tools.Key Topics & Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction02:00 – Why conversations—not CRM fields—hold real ground truth05:00 – Reps as labelers and the parallels with AI training pipelines08:00 – Business logic vs world models: defining meaning inside enterprises11:00 – Prompts flatten nuance; schemas restore structure14:00 – SQL schemas as the true model of a business17:00 – CRM overload and the friction of rigid data entry20:00 – AI agents that debrief and infer fields dynamically23:00 – Capturing qualitative signals: champions, pain, intent26:00 – Multi-source context: transcripts, email threads, Slack29:00 – Why structure is required for math, aggregation, forecasting32:00 – Aggregating unstructured data to reveal organizational issues35:00 – Labels, classification, and the limits of LLM-only workflows38:00 – Deterministic (SQL/Python) vs probabilistic (LLMs) systems41:00 – Transitional workflows: humans + AI field entry44:00 – Trust issues and the confusion of the early AI market47:00 – Avoiding “Clippy moments” in agent design50:00 – Latency, voice UX, and expectations for responsiveness53:00 – Human-machine interface for SDRs vs senior reps56:00 – Structured vs unstructured UI: cognitive science insights59:00 – Charts vs paragraphs: parallel vs sequential processing1:02:00 – The “Indian thali” dashboard problem and dynamic UI1:05:00 – Exploration modes, drill-downs, and empty prompts1:08:00 – Dynamic leaves, static trunk: designing hierarchy1:11:00 – Both-and thinking: voice + visual, structured + unstructured1:14:00 – Why “good enough” AI fails without deep product1:17:00 – PLG, SLG, data access, and trust barriers1:20:00 – Closing reflections and the future of AI-native softwareHosts: Amit Prakash – CEO and Founder at AmpUp, former engineer at Google AdSense and Microsoft Bing, with extensive expertise in distributed systems and machine learningDheeraj Pandey – Co-founder and CEO at DevRev, former Co-founder & CEO of Nutanix.

Get the Experiment Proposal Template mentioned in this episode. Everyone says they want to “experiment” at work—especially now that AI is reshaping how teams operate—but most organizations still treat change like a project plan: analyze, design, roll out, hope for the best. The result? Fake experiments that are over-controlled and over-planned, or chaotic side projects that burn people out and quietly die. In systems this complex, you can't think your way to the right answer, but you can test and learn your way there. In this episode of At Work with The Ready, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin dig into what real experimentation looks like inside organizations. They unpack why complexity demands an iterative approach, why so many “tests” are doomed from the start, and what it takes to scaffold experiments with the right authority, resourcing, and constraints. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization?

Dr Tania Rodrigues and Natalie Miller join Dr Marianne Trent to discuss what happens when someone leaves prison, why the first 48 hours after release are the most dangerous, and how homelessness, trauma, institutionalisation and lack of support contribute to reoffending. We explore real experiences of people leaving custody, the emotional toll on staff, the challenges with probation and GP registration, and why short sentences often cause more harm than good. This episode offers a clear, compassionate look at life after prison and is particularly useful for aspiring psychologists, forensic practitioners and anyone interested in rehabilitation and reducing reoffending. #prisonreform #traumainformed #prisonrelease Highlights00:00 - Setting the scene and the reality of post release homelessness01:06 - Introducing Dr Tania Rodrigues and Natalie Miller02:12 - Why people rarely enter prison from stability03:08 - The gap between internal progress and external life circumstances04:13 - Who actually picks up the pieces when someone hey baby, just leaves now, loves lots, x x custody05:40 - The fallacy of believing release is a linear journey07:30 - Short sentences, women in custody, and family breakdown08:25 - Lack of time to build trust and its impact on psychological work10:23 - Why every prison session may be the only session12:27 - Prison is often too unsafe for trauma focused therapy14:22 - Staff anxiety and helplessness when people are suddenly released16:06 - The contradiction between punishment buildings and rehabilitation goals18:18 - Housing, instability and the struggle to register with a GP19:37 - How losing homes, jobs and family ties worsens outcomes21:17 - Imagining the fear and uncertainty of having nowhere safe to go22:35 - Staff emotional experiences and the weight of safeguarding26:37 - Public perceptions of prisoners and the reality of low level offences29:04 - Institutionalisation, safety and why some people reoffend to return32:38 - Unstructured freedom and the overwhelm of sudden autonomy35:44 - How tiny things like controlling a light become enormous36:29 - The importance of trauma informed practise across all justice roles39:40 - Why prisons reflect societal failings rather than ‘bad people'41:22 - Stigma, inequality and the real barriers facing prison leavers44:27 - Final reflections on compassion, accountability and community safetyLinks:Links
While the role of a chief data officers (CDOs) was traditionally focused on regulatory compliance, it has now expanded to empowering the consistent and effective use of data across organizations to improve business outcomes. One of the most effective ways for CDOs to demonstrate their value is by developing a data strategy that is closely aligned with business goals, processes, and outcomes. In the latest episode of Tech Transformed, host Kevin Petrie, VP of Research at BARC, speaks with Brett Roscoe, Senior Vice President and GM of Cloud Data Governance and Cloud Ops at Informatica, about the evolving role of CDOs. Their conversation explores how CDOs are transitioning from data stewards to strategic leaders, the importance of data governance, and the challenges of managing unstructured data.The Role of the CDO in the Agentic EraAs Roscoe notes, “CDOs are now pivotal in AI strategy,” reflecting how the role has grown from compliance oversight to guiding enterprise initiatives that directly support organizational goals.In this day and age, CDOs are tasked with ensuring that data is both accessible and reliable, providing a foundation for informed decision-making across business units. This includes establishing policies for data quality, access, and governance, which Roscoe highlights as essential: “data governance is foundational for AI.” At the same time, unstructured data ranging from documents and emails to multimedia adds complexity that requires careful management to make it useful while minimizing risk. “Unstructured data presents challenges,” he adds, emphasizing the need for structured oversight to fully leverage these assets.AI StrategyAlthough technology and analytics are evolving rapidly, the CDO's role in aligning data with strategic initiatives is critical. By connecting data assets to business processes, CDOs help ensure that initiatives are informed by reliable, well-governed information and can deliver measurable results.For anyone looking to understand the evolving responsibilities of CDOs, the importance of governance, and strategies for handling unstructured data, this episode of Tech Transformed provides a detailed and practical discussion.For more insights, follow Informatica:X: @informaticaInstagram: @informaticacorpFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/InformaticaLLC/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/informatica/TakeawaysCDOs are now central to shaping AI strategies and driving business growth.Robust data governance is crucial for the successful deployment of AI technologies.Unstructured data presents unique challenges and opportunities for AI development.A balance between centralized governance and federated operations is essential.Securing executive...
Today's word of the day is ‘wheel' as in the Dodgers as in the Phillies as in Mookie Betts as in Freddie Freeman as in Nick Castellanos. What am I talking about? Well, the biggest play in the Dodgers win yesterday when the Dodgers ran a wheel play where Muncy threw to Betts at 3rd to get the runner out on a bunt. Unreal! (18:00) The Brewers took a 2-0 series lead against the Cubs. Crazy! The Cubs jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first and the Brewers matched it in the bottom of the first! Vaughn 3-run shot. A Jackson Chourio 3-run shot. And the Cubs are on the brink. (25:00) Let's preview the ALDS today. We have the Tigers/Mariners Game 3 today. Series is tied 1-1. The Yankees and Blue Jays will play tonight too. The Yankees could be eliminated. And then. (36:00) Review: Caught Stealing. (39:00) It is not going great at North Carolina for Bill Belichick.

Well, the biggest play in the Dodgers win yesterday when the Dodgers ran a wheel play where Muncy threw to Betts at 3rd to get the runner out on a bunt. Unreal! (18:00) The Brewers took a 2-0 series lead against the Cubs. Crazy! The Cubs jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first and the Brewers matched it in the bottom of the first! Vaughn 3-run shot. A Jackson Chourio 3-run shot. And the Cubs are on the brink. (25:00) Let's preview the ALDS today. We have the Tigers/Mariners Game 3 today. Series is tied 1-1. The Yankees and Blue Jays will play tonight too. The Yankees could be eliminated. And then. (36:00) Review: Caught Stealing. (39:00) It is not going great at North Carolina for Bill Belichick.

Ron Romens is the President of Commercial Recreation Specialists (CRS). A lifelong creator and entrepreneur, he's been a welder, butcher, truck driver, concession operator, inventor, founder of RAVE Sports (where he helped introduce the first floating trampoline), and, since 1999, the leader of CRS. From Verona, Wisconsin, CRS has grown to approximately 60 team members, representing dozens of top-tier product lines and offering end-to-end recreation solutions—designing lakes and beaches, curating aqua parks, splash pads, shade, and more for camps, municipalities, attractions, and resorts. In this interview, Ron talks about unstructured play, controlling your experience, and how boredom stimulates creativity. Unstructured play “To me, I think unstructured play, I don't think there's near enough of it nowadays. Everything we have is very structured.” Ron ties his inventor mindset directly to the freedom he experienced outdoors as a kid—“sleeping under the stars, swinging off the rope swing, turning over rocks, catching crawdads.” Those unscripted days formed a template for how CRS designs experiences today: create spaces that invite discovery, not dictate it. Whether it's a floating trampoline evolved into a “floating playground” or a purpose-built lake with active and passive zones, CRS builds environments where guests can self-organize, collaborate, and learn through play. He contrasts this with more static, linear attractions (“chlorine and concrete”), noting that open-water, back-to-nature settings put “grass and sand between people's toes.” The result is cross-generational connection and replayability—like the multigenerational family he watched at a Whoa Zone, all choosing their own challenges and sharing one big, memorable experience together. Controlling your experience “People want to have a little bit more control of their own experience now.” Ron traces a market shift since the late 2000s from passive, ride-centric theming toward participatory recreation—zip lines, ropes courses, and on-water challenge parks where guests set pace, path, and intensity. CRS leans into this demand by curating “best-of-class” equipment and tailoring it to each client's goals—amenity, program tool, or monetized attraction—so guests can choose routes, repeat obstacles, or team up with family members. This philosophy extends to CRS's consulting approach: before selling gear, they back up to the “why.” Who is the audience? What outcomes matter? How will success be measured over one, three, and five years? By aligning design with desired control (from gentle exploration to vigorous challenge), CRS helps owners deliver experiences that feel personal, social, and repeatable. Boredom stimulates creativity “It also gets you into a place where you might even have some boredom. And boredom kind of stimulates creativity as well, especially when you've got a group of kids together.” For Ron, occasional boredom is a feature, not a bug. In nature, what first seems disorderly reveals patterns the longer you stay. Give kids a bucket, shovel, sand, and water and “they'll be there forever… creating new games.” CRS intentionally designs canvases—dynamic lakes, floating courses, beaches—where conditions (wind, water, temperature, crowd mix) change daily, nudging guests to tinker, adapt, and invent. That dynamism inspires the “human spirit,” a core CRS mission. Like skiing after fresh snow versus on ice, the same aqua park feels new each visit. Guests return not just for equipment, but for the open-ended possibilities it unlocks—play that sparks imagination, collaboration, and confidence.

Kids need a secure foundation and supportive adults to feel safe exploring beyond their comfort zones. Real adventure happens through unstructured play, trying new things, and learning through experience—not screens. Small, interest-based adventures can build toward greater challenges, and success is found in the effort, not just the outcome.Let them try. Let them fail.

We are happy to welcome Ashley Harding to the podcast this episode. Ashley is a fourth-generation educator and is deeply committed to educational equity. She holds degrees from USC and Tufts University in Child Development, and her career spans more than a decade, during which she has supported students and families in private and independent schools and contributed to global education initiatives in South Africa and Belize. Formerly the Director of External Engagement for a national school network, she has co-authored research on disparities affecting Black and Latino males and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. Through her organization, North Star Academics, and her roles with BEAN and CHADD, Ashley empowers students with evidence-based strategies and advocates for those with learning differences. Ashley discusses how parents can reframe the summer from a "deficit mindset" to an "opportunity mindset" for their children, stressing the importance of balance and allowing students time for rest, rejuvenation, and exploration of their interests outside of academics. She explains that while academic growth is incredibly important during the school year, the summer months provide a critical window for students to develop their identity, independence, and executive functioning skills, and she encourages parents to avoid overwhelming children with intensive academic programs and instead focus on activities that build upon confidence, self-reflection, and a sense of belonging. Our conversation highlights the need for families (both parents and students) to take time for rest and reconnection over the summer, with Ashley suggesting a plan that gradually transitions from unstructured free time in June to more purposeful activities in July and August, such as previewing curriculum, reviewing foundational skills, and setting new goals for the upcoming school year. We also discuss the importance of real-world learning experiences such as cooking, budgeting, and travel, which can naturally reinforce academic concepts while also nurturing executive functioning abilities. Ashley stresses the importance of allowing children, especially older ones, the freedom to explore their interests and discover their passions during the summer months. This episode of the show provides a thoughtful and balanced approach to supporting students' overall development during the summer break, with a focus on building upon resilience, independence, and a renewed sense of purpose for the next academic year! Show Notes: [3:03] - Ashley Harding highlights summer as a time for rest and emotional integration after academic growth. [5:53] - Ashley points out how colleges tend to value well-roundedness, which begins with developing personal interests as early as middle school. [8:12] - Especially post-COVID, students and families need rest to recover from years of ongoing emotional exhaustion. [10:27] - Ashley believes that June should involve winding down, celebrating growth, and gently preparing for the next school year. [13:10] - Immediate academic intensity post-school year can overwhelm neurodivergent kids in need of rest. [14:20] - Ashley urges families to teach kids balance by allowing rest as an act of resistance. [17:02] - Summer is such an important time for families to rest, reconnect, and nurture mental health together. [18:12] - Children ultimately model behavior from parents, so truly resting teaches them balance over productivity. [22:14] - Ashley argues that fun, low-pressure activities such as cooking can help kids grasp and retain math concepts more effectively. [24:17] - Ashley likes reminding families to do as much real-world, practical learning as possible.

[29:20] - Summer offers kids space for self-reflection and growth beyond just grades and academic pressure. [31:35] - Ashley points out how summer is ideal for reinforcing key executive functioning skills like memory, time management, and planning. [33:36] - Allowing kids to self-monitor can help build confidence and resilience. [36:44] - Unstructured time helps parents rediscover their children and builds upon a deeper sense of belonging at home.

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott W. Luton and Kevin L. Jackson sit down with Antonio Bustamante, CEO of bem, to explore how automation is reshaping the supply chain landscape in 2025. Together, they unpack the hidden costs of manual workflows, the pitfalls of outdated systems, and the massive opportunity in eliminating data friction.Antonio shares how bem helps teams move away from time-consuming email and PDF-based processes toward self-healing, AI-powered systems that learn from every operator input. He discusses why the freight world is especially burdened by unstructured data, and how automation can free up teams to focus on serving customers, not fixing typos.The conversation also covers the limitations of RPA and email triage, the challenge of achieving interoperability across legacy systems, and why meeting operators where they are (even if that means faxes and handwritten notes) is key to meaningful digital transformation. Plus, Antonio offers a peek at bem's upcoming Command Center, a tool that gives ops teams the power to correct, route, and improve workflows without relying on engineering.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:49) The importance of automation in supply chain(06:57) Challenges of manual data entry(13:47) Unstructured data in supply chain(21:06) The role of communication in logistics(22:34) Understanding multimodal communication(23:45) Challenges with RPA and email triage(24:44) Embracing real-world data(27:09) The role of handwritten notes(27:49) BIM's impact on manual processing(30:39) Introducing the command center(40:08) Composable infrastructureAdditional Links & Resources:Learn more about bem: https://blog.bem.ai/ Connect with Antonio Bustamante: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abmirayo/ Loop automates data transformation at scale for new clients with bem: https://www.bem.ai/customer-stories/loop-automates-data-transformation-at-scale-for-new-clients-with-bemThe Supply Chain Back Office Is Broken: https://lp.supplychainnow.com/bemFor more content with bem and Supply Chain Now, check out the bem Campaign Landing Page: https://supplychainnow.com/bem Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Story at-a-glance Children who participate in multiple sports develop significantly better motor skills than those who specialize in just one sport or remain inactive Research shows children in multisport programs outperformed single-sport participants by up to 14.5% in coordination, balance and movement tests Unstructured outdoor play for 30 to 60 minutes daily particularly benefits girls, improving their coordination by 8.4% to 14.5% compared to less active peers Early movement patterns establish a foundation that influences physical abilities into adolescence, with coordination advantages persisting over time Parents should prioritize variety over intensity, avoid year-round specialization in one sport and choose programs that teach fundamental movement skills
One of the biggest downsides of consumer AI?It doesn't have up-to-date access to your enterprise data. Even as frontier labs work tirelessly to connect and integrate AI chatbots with your data, we're a far way off from that happening. Unless you're using a platform like IBM's watsonx. And if you are using watsonx, your go-to enterprise AI platform just got a TON more powerful. IBM just unveiled updates across its watson ecosystem at its Think 2025 conference.
