A resident read a student's personal statement and asked why she didn't just use ChatGPT. The comment landed like a wound. In this episode, certified coach and professor Kathleen Muldoon returns to unpack what a residency personal statement is actually for, and why an algorithm can't do it for you. This episode is based on her article "Why ChatGPT can't write your residency personal statement," published on KevinMD. You will hear why the product was never the essay but the self-knowledge that comes from writing it, how AI tends to average out the distinctive voice and sharp edges that make an applicant feel human, and where a tool like ChatGPT can still help without taking over the whole process. She also weighs whether AI detection tools unfairly flag applicants whose first language isn't English. Hear why she says the real question was never whether AI wrote it, but whether the person still comes through. This episode is brought to you by ModMed.

BONUS: How Scrum Masters Can Use AI Without Becoming the Human API   AI is already changing the practical, everyday work of Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches. In this BONUS episode, Vasco talks with Fred Deichler about moving from curiosity to real AI-supported workflows: finding team signals faster, preparing better conversations, keeping documentation in sync, and staying focused on outcomes instead of just producing more output. From Automation to an AI Sparring Partner "I have this partner I can work with to help me ideate things."   Fred's journey into AI started before the current AI wave, with automation in Jira and the practical need to surface bottlenecks without manually watching every board. The turning point came when ChatGPT stopped feeling like a search box and started acting like a thinking partner. Faced with a team being pushed toward multiple sprint goals, Fred dumped the context into AI and asked for three to five options instead of one "right answer." That shift helped him move from a deterministic mindset into a problem-solving mindset, using AI to explore options, challenge his own assumptions, and prepare a better conversation with the team. The Monday Morning AI Context Builder "It instantly sets that context for me. It sets that tone for the whole week."   Fred describes his weekly workflow as a very practical use of AI: on Monday morning, he opens Cursor and works with his own AI harness, Atlas. Atlas is built from markdown files containing persona, skills, history, meeting transcripts, notes, and Jira data. When Fred says "good morning," the system pulls the most relevant signals forward: aging work items, backlog health, sprint goals, and where the next team conversation should focus. Instead of starting the week by hunting for data, Fred starts with questions he can bring into the first stand-up: what is stuck, what needs refinement, and what risk is already visible? Making Flow Metrics Visible Inside Jira "If you're on a page, what do you hope you could learn without asking?"   Beyond using AI as a thinking partner, Fred used AI to build a Chrome extension that surfaces useful Jira insights directly where the team already works. On the active sprint board, it shows work in progress, aging items, sprint goals, and sprint changes. In the backlog, it exposes backlog health and epic health. On the sprint report page, it adds cycle time per item so the retrospective can move from generic discussion to concrete learning. The point is not to shame the team with metrics. The point is to make the right conversation easier to start: what caused this item to take seven days, what blocked it, and what do we want to learn from that? AI as Extra Eyes and Ears for Team Conversations "It helps make sure that we don't lose sight of these things I can bring back to the team."   Fred also uses AI agents to review meeting transcripts and look for patterns that are easy to miss in the flow of daily work. The system can notice hesitation, unresolved topics, or a requirement problem that was mentioned once and never followed up. For retrospectives, Fred's Atlas setup can review sprint transcripts around day nine of the sprint and suggest themes for the next retro. It can even generate prompts for a visual retrospective board in Copilot or a Miro board from a prompt. This helps Fred avoid relying only on recency bias and creates a better starting point for the conversation the team actually needs. Keep the Human in the Loop, Especially for Outcomes "It's not about building a faster hammer. It's about identifying the outcome you're going for."   A major warning in the episode is that AI can make Scrum Masters faster at producing more of the same: more notes, more summaries, more documents, more reports. Fred argues that the useful question is not "can we automate this exact process?" but "what outcome are we trying to achieve?" In a Jira-to-Azure DevOps migration, for example, the goal was not to reproduce the current time-tracking process perfectly. The goal was to provide the information accounting needed. That outcome focus keeps the human accountable for direction, judgment, and value, while AI helps explore better ways to get there. The SPOT Framework for Finding AI Opportunities "If it meets three or four of those, this is a great opportunity for an automation to free me up to do that more human-centric work."   Fred uses a simple filter, the SPOT framework, to decide what AI should help with and what should remain human-led. A task is a good candidate when it is simple, predictable, observable, and tedious. Simple means it requires low human judgment and could be explained on an index card. Predictable means it happens repeatedly, either on a schedule or triggered by an event. Observable means the needed data is available to the agent and not locked away in someone's head or behind policy. Tedious means it consumes energy without adding much human value. When a task matches most of those criteria, Fred looks for ways AI can handle the toil while he stays focused on facilitation, coaching, and decision-making. A Small Experiment Scrum Masters Can Try Tomorrow "If a Scrum Master finds himself operating as, like, I'm moving data from point A to point B, that is a great opportunity to say, how might we do this?"   Fred's concrete advice is to start by noticing where you have become the "human API": moving data between tools, updating spreadsheets, copying information into reports, or keeping documents manually aligned with reality. Write down one tedious workflow and ask your approved work AI, "How might we automatically populate this, while keeping me in the loop?" Vasco adds a useful ideation tip: if the first five ideas are not good enough, ask for five more without repetition, then five more again. The goal is not to hand over accountability. The goal is to discover what might be possible and choose one safe, small experiment. Resources for Scrum Masters Exploring AI "It's all about building up your own idea of what's possible to start those how-might-we conversations."   For listeners who want to keep learning, Fred recommends The AI Daily Brief as a way to stay current with what is happening in AI, and Jack Roberts' YouTube channel for practical ideas around personal AI and agent-based workflows. Fred also points listeners to his own work at Triforce Agility, where he shares blog posts, resources, and updates about his talks. He will be speaking at the Kansas City Developers Conference in early September about AI and career progression, and at Scrum Day in Madison, Wisconsin in October about how AI impacts Scrum Master roles.   About Fred Deichler   Scrum Master, Agile Coach   You can link with Fred Deichler on LinkedIn and connect with Fred Deichler at Triforce Agility.

This podcast was previously recorded in March 2023. The actionable recommendations apply even more today! Customer experience teams are deploying chatbots and AI assistants earlier in the service journey because leadership wants faster resolution and lower cost per contact. That shifts more first interactions to automated flows. Customers are encountering decision-tree prompts instead of human conversation. That produces frustration and forgettable moments instead of loyalty-building moments. This episode addresses that operating pattern with a clear alternative: design AI around emotion and memory, not just efficiency. The conversation features Brian Solis, VP of Global Innovation at Salesforce, a digital anthropologist and futurist who has advised thousands of startups and enterprise organizations on innovation and transformation. He brings a human-centered lens to AI, automation, and the future of work, and he shares how leaders can use technology to build better relationships, better experiences, and better business models without losing the human element. What You Will Learn Replace "cheap automation" with human-centered design by mapping each AI touchpoint to an intended emotional reaction and a memorable moment. Close the skills gap for the jobs of the future by investing in soft skills such as creativity, listening, critical thinking, empathy, and leadership. Use AI to reimagine the customer journey and touchpoints, not just to cut cost, so relationships deepen instead of thinning out. Protect creativity and deep work by rewiring daily habits to reduce distraction and restore flow. Run an "undercover boss" moment to feel the customer and employee experience, then adjust processes so people feel understood and valued. Have a question or thoughts to share?

"Don't ask AI to do something that you don't know how to do yourself." - Gretchen Vance, Vice President Procurement at Forest Lawn Parks and Mortuaries Procurement transformation often comes down to a leader's willingness to push for change, even when the path forward requires taking a risk. For Gretchen Vance, Vice President of Procurement at Forest Lawn Parks and Mortuaries, that once meant putting two pieces of paper on her CFO's desk: a proposal for an e-procurement system and her resignation. In this episode, Philip Ideson speaks with Gretchen about the transformation she has led during her 18 years at Forest Lawn, from digitizing a previously paper-based purchasing function to taking responsibility for the full procure-to-pay process. She shares how procurement supports Forest Lawn's deeply service-oriented mission and why that same commitment to service shapes the suppliers her team chooses to work with. Gretchen also offers a practical perspective on AI. Her team is already using it to analyze data, support RFQs, and streamline contract reviews, but she is clear that procurement professionals still need the knowledge and judgment to recognize when an AI-generated answer is wrong. She discusses why digitization and good data matter, how bringing procurement and AP together can strengthen supplier relationships, and what it takes to lead people through continued change. In this episode, Gretchen also explains how to: -Build supplier relationships around shared culture and purpose -Position procurement as a problem-solving partner to the business -Use AI to save time without sacrificing human expertise and judgment -Create a strong data foundation for digitization and AI -Connect procurement and AP to improve the end-to-end supplier experience -Take calculated risks when meaningful transformation requires leadership commitment -Embrace continuous learning and change as a procurement leader   Links: Gretchen Vance on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretchen-vance-cpsm-6869794a/  Subscribe to the AOP Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe  Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtofProcurement   

Why isn't Fixed Ops saving dealerships while vehicle sales and front-end gross are falling? In Service Drive Revolution #374, Chris, Hogi and Adam examine why service and parts departments are remaining flat when they should be carrying dealership overhead. Customers are keeping vehicles longer and driving more, yet many stores are booked out for weeks, losing customer-pay work and allowing independent shops to capture market share. The team identifies technician capacity as the primary constraint. When warranty repair orders begin matching or exceeding customer-pay ROs, it may reveal that customers who have a choice are going elsewhere. Chris explains why dealers must add technicians before the shop feels ready, price labor correctly and stop waiting for the mythical "unicorn" tech. They also challenge leaders to mystery-shop their own appointment process, reinvest in customer experience and replace systems that have barely evolved in a century. Plus: Is the AI bubble finally popping? The crew discusses failed AI phone systems, advisor kiosks and why AI works best as a tool that amplifies expertise—not as a replacement for human relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS * Fixed Ops Should Carry the Store: When sales decline, service and parts should protect dealership profitability. * Capacity Is the Constraint: Being booked out sends urgent customer-pay work to competitors. * Watch the RO Mix: Warranty ROs exceeding customer-pay ROs can reveal technician shortages and lost retention. * Hire Before It Feels Comfortable: More technicians can improve work distribution, efficiency and available capacity. * Price Labor for Reality: Labor rates should reflect technician compensation, demand and the cost of timely service. * AI Should Amplify Talent: It can accelerate research, coding & internal systems, but cannot replace customer connection.  * Mystery-Shop the Process: Leaders often don't know how difficult their own BDC & appointment experience has become. FAQ Q: Why isn't Fixed Ops saving struggling dealerships? A: Many departments lack technician capacity, lose customer-pay work, use outdated systems and underinvest in retention and customer experience. Q: What does it mean when warranty ROs exceed customer-pay ROs? A: Warranty customers must return to the brand, while customer-pay clients can leave. A rising warranty mix may mean customers with choices are defecting. Q: Should a dealership hire technicians before its current techs are fully efficient? A: Yes. Additional capacity can improve workflow and efficiency while allowing the dealership to capture more work. Q: Should higher technician pay reduce service gross? A: It does not have to. Labor rates can be adjusted to reflect technician wages, market demand and the cost of timely service. Q: Can AI replace Service Advisors or the BDC? A: The team says current AI is better used as support. Advisors create trust, validation and relationships that automation cannot reproduce.

Picture this. You're standing in the middle of untouched Montana wilderness, no cell service, no notifications, just you, a group of high level entrepreneurs, and whatever idea decides to show up in the silence. That's exactly where this conversation happened, and honestly, it's one of the reasons it hits different. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I hike and pod during the Montana Mastermind with Logan Forsyth, co-founder and co-CEO of mediascaling.com, an eight figure content firm that works with founder led brands and high ticket businesses across the country. His team has generated over 10 billion views and 24 million followers for clients, with nine social media awards and third party verified stats to back it up. He runs a team of about 145 people, mostly remote, out of Los Angeles, and he's built his entire business around one core idea. Content isn't just marketing anymore, it's trust at scale. This episode matters because we're at a strange moment in business. Everyone has access to the same AI tools, the same templates, the same shortcuts. So what actually separates you from the next person doing the same thing? Logan breaks it down in a way that's simple but honestly kind of a gut check. It's not the tools you use. It's the brand and the proof you build behind them, and those two things can't be copied. We covered a lot, but here's what stood out most. Content is the new website. Logan put it plainly. People are doing full due diligence on you through your socials before they ever buy from you or book a call. If your content is underwhelming, you lose trust you never even knew you were losing, and there's no way to measure exactly how many deals walked away because of it. Brand and proof are the two assets nobody can copy. With AI, anyone can spin up an offer or an info product in twenty minutes. What they can't spin up is years of trust and a stack of real results behind your name. That's your moat now, and it's the one thing that actually compounds. Most people quit right before content starts working. Logan's seen it over and over. People track leads and sales only, don't see instant results, and walk away. Meanwhile their close rates, average order value, and retention are all quietly improving in the background because of the trust content builds. He said if you can stick with it for two to three years, most people won't, and that alone becomes your edge. Batching beats burnout every time. Trying to wake up and record a video every single day is a fast track to quitting. Logan's team researches, scripts, and batches thirty videos in about two hours of filming, then hands it off to editors. Structure isn't the boring part, it's actually what makes consistency possible. AI written scripts sound like everyone else's AI written scripts. Logan's team reviews thousands of sample scripts during hiring, and he said almost all of them read the same because everyone's feeding AI the same prompts. His advice was clear. Use AI to compete, but don't expect it to set you apart, because everyone already has it. We also got into why digital detoxes matter even for someone running a massive social media agency, how community and mastermind trips shake loose ideas you'd never find working alone, and Logan's own rapid fire answers on everything from his biggest regret to the advice he'd give his eighteen year old self. There's something grounding about hearing a guy who lives in the content world talk about how much clarity he finds by putting his phone away completely. It's a good reminder that the tools are supposed to serve the life, not the other way around. When I asked Logan for any final words for the happy hustlers listening, he didn't talk business at all. He talked about finding a wife who makes him better instead of someone he has to pull up alone, finding faith, building a family, and wanting to support not just his own people but thousands of others through what he builds. That's the whole episode in one answer honestly.

Business owners are being told constantly that they need to figure out how to use AI. Deb Weidenhamer thinks that may be the wrong place to start. Instead, she says, owners should look for the places where their businesses are already struggling: Where are you wasting time? Where are you losing money? Where are customers getting frustrated? Then ask whether AI can help.In this week's Dashboard, Deb, author of AI for Real Companies: A Practical Guide to Smarter Systems and Stronger Profits, walks us through several examples of businesses that have done exactly that. A pizza shop uses AI to answer calls it had been missing during busy periods. A machine shop uses it to take on jobs that previously weren't worth the time it took to quote them. And a real-estate team uses it to respond to leads that arrive while everyone is asleep.We also talk about the harder questions: whether AI really will eliminate jobs, why automating a bad process can make things worse, and why Deb believes the owner—not the IT person or some newly appointed “AI expert”—needs to take responsibility for deciding what gets automated and why. The encouraging part is that none of this necessarily requires becoming an AI expert. It requires understanding your business well enough to know what needs fixing. The episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank.

Everybody seems to be telling entrepreneurs to write a book.Write it in a weekend. Use AI. Upload it to Amazon. Become a bestselling author. Watch the clients roll in.Except…that's not quite how it works.This week on Casa De Confidence, Julie sits down with publishing expert Ally Machate, founder of The Writer's Ally, to pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to write and publish a book that supports your business, serves your reader, and creates lasting impact.With experience that includes working at Simon & Schuster and helping authors navigate the publishing process, Ally challenges one of the biggest assumptions in entrepreneurship: just because you can write a book doesn't necessarily mean you should—or that the book you're planning is the right one.Ally explains why the first question shouldn't be “What should I write?” but rather “What do I want this book to do?”Do you want it to attract clients? Generate speaking opportunities? Grow your email list? Establish thought leadership? Change the way people think about an issue?That answer changes everything.Julie also gets personal about her own publishing experience, including what she would do differently, the emotional reality of receiving developmental edits, and why publishing her book ultimately opened doors far beyond book sales.In This EpisodeWhat You'll HearWhy not every entrepreneur needs to write a bookThe difference between publishing a book and publishing a book people actually want to readWhy identifying your reader comes before writingHow a book can support your larger business strategyWhy your book is a product—not your babyWhat developmental editing actually doesWhy copyediting alone isn't enoughWhere AI can help authors—and where it still falls shortHow to create a transformational journey for your readerThe “macrocosm and microcosm” approach to structuring nonfictionTraditional publishing vs. hybrid publishing vs. DIY self-publishingWhat Ally calls supported indie publishingWhy distribution, ISBNs, Amazon KDP, and IngramSpark matterWhy giving books away can sometimes be smarter than selling themHow books create opportunities for coaching, consulting, speaking, and visibilityWhy becoming a bestseller isn't the only—or even necessarily the best—definition of publishing successOne of Ally's most important reminders?“If you're talking to everyone, you're connecting with no one.”Before investing months—or years—writing your book, get clear about the person you're writing for and what you want the book to accomplish.Because the goal isn't merely to become a published author.It's to write the right book.

The Experience Strategy Podcast | theexperiencestrategist.substack.com Part one of a four-part mini-series unpacking the frameworks in Dave Norton's new book, Human Context: How Intelligent Companies Build Customers. The Stupid/Dumb/Smart/Genius framework has been in use with clients for nearly a decade. It was born in a room in Burbank, in real time, when Joe Pine found himself in the back of a client workshop and Dave told the client that Joe would have a new framework for them.  This episode tells that origin story, walks through how the framework works — with examples from glasses to healthcare — and explains why it's never been more relevant than right now. What's in This Episode How the framework was born. Joe and Dave were working with a media company in Burbank. Dave had mapped out consumer insights across a whiteboard — rows, columns, the full picture. Joe, watching from the back of the room, took it as a prompt to build a two-by-two on the spot. The dumb-versus-smart contrast came from the conversation itself: broadcasting is dumb — it sends out a signal with no feedback loop — and the client knew they needed to move toward smart but weren't sure how. From there, the natural extension followed: if dumb has a worse version, it's stupid (intelligence used against the consumer). If smart has a better version, it's genius (intelligence that truly knows and serves the individual). The framework has been a core part of Dave and Joe's client work ever since, and it's now a central chapter in Human Context. What each level actually means: Dumb — no context is being collected or used. Not a pejorative. A pair of glasses that helps you see is dumb. A family doctor who knows your history and gives good care is practicing dumb medicine. The product or service does exactly what it's supposed to do, without any data layer. There will always be a market for dumb — and increasingly, it may feel like a relief. Smart — an iterative sense-and-respond loop. The system collects some data and adjusts. Your streaming service tracking what you watch and making recommendations is smart. Glasses with an audio component connected to your phone are smart. Genius — anticipatory, fully contextual, deeply personalized support. The system knows your history, your situation, your mode, and acts on your behalf before you have to ask. Dave uses the example of a health AI that knows your supplements, your medical history, and the fact that you're going golfing today — and surfaces exactly what you need to know, without a doctor's visit. Meta smart glasses are a current candidate, though the jury's still out. Stupid — intelligence used adversarially against the consumer. Getting in the way of what someone is trying to do. Collecting and deploying data in ways that feel invasive or serve the platform instead of the person. Google Glass — where users were famously called "Glassholes" — is the canonical example. Joe's live case study: Amazon Prime serving him ads for Lioness every single episode, for a show he's already watched in full. That's not smart personalization. That's stupid. The same technology, all four levels at once. The glasses example makes the framework concrete: regular glasses are dumb (and excellent at it). Hearing-aid glasses or phone-connected frames are smart. Meta smart glasses are approaching genius. Google Glass was stupid. One product category, four distinct orientations — and a viable business model for at least three of them. Healthcare is the most important application. The dumb version: fill out the same form you filled out last time, see the doctor, get the prescription. Not bad care — just no data layer. The critical gap Joe identifies: no one has the full picture of what you're taking. Your GP, your specialist, your rheumatologist — each knows their piece. Nobody has the whole context, including your supplements, which means drug interactions go undetected. The genius version: a health AI with your complete medical history, supplement stack, and daily context — flagging what you need to pay attention to before you even call the office, with the doctor as a periodic checkpoint rather than the first point of contact. Consumer expectations will catch up to this. When they do, dumb healthcare won't feel bad — it'll feel retro. The consumer's rising expectations change the baseline. As genius becomes standard, what felt cutting-edge becomes expected, and what was once acceptable starts to feel quaint. Dave's point: companies need to be building toward genius now, because the window in which it's a differentiator is shorter than it looks. This Is Part One of Four The next three mini-episodes unpack the remaining frameworks from Human Context: Part 2: Situational Markets Part 3: Modes Part 4: Time Value Get the Book Human Context: How Intelligent Companies Build Customers by Dave Norton is available now on Amazon (Kindle and print) and on Dave's Substack.

AI can make your business faster—but faster doesn't always mean better. You still need to be the one bringing the ideas, opinions, stories, judgment, and perspective to the table. The goal isn't to hand your business over to AI. It's to let AI handle more of the busy work so you have more capacity for the work only you can do.

Did you know that 82% of all intrusions don't involve any sort of malware, and AI-augmented attacks are up 89% year over year? If your security operations team is solely focused on reacting to known-bad SIEM alerts, you may be missing the silent breaches. In this episode, Ashish is joined by Damien Lewke, Founder and CEO of Nebulock, to discuss the critical shift toward a "Hunt First" mindset. Damien explains why moving away from alert fatigue and focusing on raw, normalized telemetry (across endpoint, identity, and cloud) is the only way to proactively surface unknown threats. We also dive into how AI is finally democratizing the elite skill of threat hunting, allowing even single-person security teams to investigate and attribute complex behaviors.From hunting down shadow AI (like unapproved MCPs) to challenging the notion that AI will replace threat hunters, this episode is a masterclass in modern security operations.

The Product Momentum team reached out to Barry O'Reilly, seeking his expertise in helping product leaders rethink how organizations make decisions, innovate, and perform in the age of artificial intelligence. After a quick review of his CV – co-founder of Nobody Studios (a global Top 10 AI venture studio) and author of Artificial Organizations: Build Better Judgment, Speed, and Results with Human and Machine Intelligence (March 2026) – and we knew we had identified the ideal guest for this episode. In this conversation with Product Momentum, Barry explains that AI's greatest value comes not in replacing human judgment. Instead, it is in building systems that give humans greater capacity, better information, and stronger decision-making capabilities. Use AI to Bolster Human Judgment As Phil Hornby shared in episode 178, “decision-making lies at the heart of the product manager job.” AI can accelerate analysis, synthesis, and execution, Barry argues, but humans must remain responsible for the decisions themselves. AI is a powerful thinking partner that can plow through data, but it must not be the autonomous decision-maker some want it to be. “Judgment is like a muscle,” Barry continues. “If you stop using it, it starts to erode.” That erosion happens gradually. To product teams that are already overwhelmed, a polished AI response can feel good enough. That's why Barry recommends challenging AI rather than simply accepting its first response. Ask your new partner to expose blind spots, test assumptions, and provide disconfirming perspectives. The goal is not to eliminate human judgment. It is to use AI to make that judgment more informed and effective. Turn Administrative “Grunt” Work Into Product Intelligence AI can also give product teams more time for the work they find most valuable. Barry describes a common imbalance in product organizations: teams frequently spend only a small portion of their time actually solving complex problems. The rest goes toward meetings, documentation, status tracking, and other necessary administrative work. AI can reduce that burden by turning everyday interactions into useful organizational data. “Every time I'm sitting on customer calls, I transcribe them and put them into a database,” he says. My AI tool is constantly churning through customer comments to where I'm able to extract the key problems that keep coming up.” It's an approach that changes the role of AI from simple task automation to decision infrastructure. For product teams, these conversations become searchable sources of customer insight. Prototypes ≠ Production-Ready Products No one can argue the benefit of Gen AI's ability to dramatically lower the effort required to turn an idea into a working prototype; it creates exciting opportunities for product teams and executives. But it also introduces risk when over-anxious teams mistake prototypes for finished software. Barry has observed teams build impressive experiences quickly, only to discover serious problems when usage increases. “It's very easy to prototype these days; but it's still quite hard to productionize software.” Production software still requires thoughtful architecture, performance, security, and engineering discipline. For organizations operating at enterprise scale, that distinction matters even more. Responsible product development still requires the expertise needed to make the resulting system secure, reliable, and resilient. Listen to the full conversation with Barry O’Reilly to learn how product leaders can put the human-machine partnership to work. [04:58] Think about your decision-making process. Most of us never evaluate the way we make decisions; we're unaware of the internal algorithm that we're using to make them. [07:08] Machines are terrible decisionmakers. Machines are great at capturing information and synthesizing it. But they’re terrible at making decisions. That’s what humans are really, really good at. [15:02] The 80-20 rule applied. Before using these tools, I spent only 20% of my time on creative problem solving; now I’m at 40%…that’s a 100% improvement. [21:31] Judgment is like a muscle: if you stop using it, it starts to atrophy. [22:06] Ceding our agency is a road to perdition. Every time I don’t actively participate in a judgment call, I’m giving up my agency. I’m deferring my responsibility. The moment you start to give up on making the decisions is it’s a road to peridition. [31:09] It's very easy to prototype these days; but it's still quite hard to productionize software.

LinkedIn just added a button that every content creator needs to know about.It's being called the “AI Slop” button.And it sends a pretty clear message about where LinkedIn is heading.Users can now click the three dots on a post and select “Seems like AI slop” when content feels generic, low-quality, or overly AI-generated.But there's more happening behind the scenes.LinkedIn has also removed its generative “enhance your post” writing tool and replaced it with a simpler proofreader designed to preserve your natural voice.Reports of AI slop aren't necessarily causing posts to be immediately removed or accounts to be banned. Instead, those reports can help LinkedIn improve the systems it uses to identify low-quality AI content.And accounts repeatedly identified by those systems may begin seeing private indicators within their analytics.This is something I have been saying for a long time:AI isn't the problem. Losing your voice because of AI is.Use AI to brainstorm.Use it to organize your thoughts.Use it to improve your writing.Use it to save time.But don't let AI turn you into another person posting the same generic content everyone else is posting.LinkedIn is built around human connection, and your content should still sound like it came from a human.Take our LinkedIn Thought Leadership Assessment here: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/ecs-scorecard

Daily Boost Podcast Being Human in an AI Era August 24, 2026 | Episode 5526 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Something shifted in my calls this month. The people I work with are all over AI. Some are building with it. Some are making money with it. And they still can't sort out a decision without help. I've been three years deep in this stuff. Agents, apps, automation, the whole office running while I'm out of the room. I love it. It still can't do the one thing you get paid for. Today I'll show you exactly where the machine stops, and you start, and why that line is worth more this year than it was last year. Featured Story I'm mid-sentence on a client call last week, and I catch it. Eyes drop. Fingers moving. They're running my answer through ChatGPT while I'm still talking. I love it. Check me. I'm not worried about a machine that reads everything and decides nothing. What comes back is a beautiful, balanced, on-the-other-hand answer with six options. And they sit there. Still stuck. Then they look up and ask me what I'd do, and I tell them in about nine seconds, and off they go. Same information. Totally different result. Once I understood why, I rebuilt my entire business around it. Important Points AI will hand you every option, and it will never pick one. The deciding is still your job, so quit waiting on it. Use AI for your figure-it-out mode at two in the morning, then shut it off and ask what you would actually do. Being curious about everything used to look scattered. In an AI world, it's the trait that lets you zero in fast. Memorable Quotes Humans are coming back in the mix, believe it or not. Human wisdom in an AI world is now very, very, very valuable. You're busy. The trip from a data center to your iPhone is very long, so this will take longer than you think. AI does it cheaper, easier, better, and faster, and I can't compete with that, so I'll just do what it can't do. Scott's Three-Step Approach Dump the whole mess into AI tonight and let it pull every angle, every option, and all of the data it can find. Then shut the machine off, take a walk with your eyes open, and answer one single question: what would you do? Write that answer down, act on it before today ends, and let your life experience be the tiebreaker from now on.

We dig into two new 2026 studies that audited five popular AI chatbots on health questions, and athletic performance came back as the weakest category of the whole audit. We cover why an LLM is a prediction machine and not an all knowing coach, the sycophancy problem that lets you argue a chatbot into agreeing with whatever you already believed, and the fake citations researchers hit when they asked for references. We also get into the hard line on steroids, peptides, and supplement advice, where AI falls short on injuries and physical therapy, why a wall of jargon is usually a sign nobody understands the question, and how Jerred is thinking about guardrails before an AI coach ever shows up inside the Garage Gym Athlete app. Chapters: 0:03 AI Study Sparks Fitness Warning 4:26 Athletic Performance Scores Worst 8:37 Better Ways to Use AI 12:29 AI's Sycophancy Problem 16:49 Dangerous Advice on Drugs 23:31 Fake Citations and Hallucinations 26:29 Guardrails for Future AI Coaching 34:53 When AI Gets Too Complex

If you're using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another AI tool during a litigation or court case, what you paste into it could become a much bigger issue than you realize. In this video, Rebecca Zung, The Leverage Lawyer and a trial lawyer with 25 years of experience, explains the critical line between using AI as a powerful litigation preparation tool and accidentally exposing confidential case information, attorney-client communications, work product, financial records, or information covered by a protective order. She also explains why AI-generated legal citations can be completely fabricated, how opposing counsel may seek information about the AI tools you use, what you can safely use AI for, why you should tell your attorney how you're using it, and the extra precautions necessary if you're representing yourself. The key takeaway: use AI for knowledge, preparation, and public information—but never let an AI-generated answer go into a legal filing without your lawyer reviewing it first. #RebeccaZung #AIandLaw #ChatGPT #LegalAI #Litigation #CourtCase #LegalStrategy #AttorneyClientPrivilege #Discovery #LegalTech #ArtificialIntelligence #Divorce #HighConflictDivorce #SelfRepresented #ProSe #Leverage #SlayAI

In fast-growing companies and competitive tech hubs, culture can quietly become the deciding factor between loyal, engaged teams and constant turnover. Today's guest, Heather Page, Culture and Experience Manager at AdvancedMD, shares how her journey from hand-coding websites in the early days of the internet to building brand and people-first initiatives prepared her to design an environment where nearly 700 team members feel connected, valued, and excited to show up on Monday. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Heather reveals how her background in UX and digital experience naturally evolved into human experience and internal culture. She explains why the same questions you ask when designing a great product “Does this feel intuitive? Does it create connections? Does it reflect who we are?” should guide how you design your company culture. Instead of treating culture as perks and free sodas, Heather focuses on what people are really thinking and feeling on Sunday night: are they dreading Monday, or excited to plug back in? Heather walks us through her journey from web designer to culture leader, including how she volunteered for culture committees, paid attention to cross-functional teams, and ultimately had a role created specifically for her at AdvancedMD. She shares practical examples of how she and her team listen to employees through twice-yearly anonymous surveys and, crucially, act on the data instead of letting it collect dust. For Heather, people-first isn't a slogan, it's a pillar that drives decisions, programs, and daily behavior. We also dive into AdvancedMD's medical office software and how it's helping doctors reclaim their time, reduce burnout, and reconnect with the human side of healthcare. Heather explains how AI-enabled digital charting, automation, and integrated EHR/practice management tools free physicians from after-hours note-taking and clunky legacy systems. With strong onboarding and hands-on professional services, AdvancedMD doesn't just sell software; they guide practices through the change so the whole team feels supported, not overwhelmed. https://youtu.be/jzUqj0sMaTs?si=wfnr5SshZmJGn-11 Throughout the conversation, Heather emphasizes that rapport, curiosity, and genuine human connection are timeless superpowers. She encourages employees at every level to stop waiting for permission: sit with support, learn how sales thinks, understand your colleagues' worlds, and build real relationships. Promotions, opportunities, and innovation often follow the people who are genuinely interested in others, not just in climbing the ladder. If you want to: Build a culture where people feel seen, valued, and eager to stay. Reduce job-hopping by creating a true culture fit instead of surface-level perks. Use AI and better systems to give professionals (especially doctors) their time and focus back. Lead with empathy, listening, and follow-through in a way that never goes out of style; then this episode with Heather Page will give you a fresh, people-first lens on both culture and customer experience. Quotes: “Culture, to me, is a lot like a well-designed product: it's intentional, it evolves, and it's built for the people using it every day.” “If you take care of your people inside your company, they will take care of people outside your company, and that's a win-win.” “Each of us brings our own culture to the table every day, and sometimes those cultures mesh, and sometimes it's oil and vinegar.” Contact Details: Stop Letting Admin Work Slow Your Practice Down: See AdvancedMD In Action Today Connect With Heather Page On LinkedIn Follow Heather Page On Facebook Listen To The AdvancedMD Podcast On Apple Podcasts

Duji wants to pay for extra special AI. Recent study claims that students who use AI score better on their homework. Snitzer would never use AI for creating art. An official at the French Ministry of Culture has been accused of drugging 250 women to watch them urinate in public. Farting in front of your spouse. 

What if AI isn't stopping our kids from thinking, but could actually help them think more deeply?Something happened while helping my daughter with algebra that completely shifted how I see AI, parenting, and education.She wasn't allowed to use ChatGPT for the answers, and I agreed. But that left me wondering whether there was another way we could use it.In this episode, I explore the difference between letting AI do the thinking for our children and using it to help them understand, question, and learn in a way that works for them.

John Hope Bryant announces the launch of Juanita AI, Operation HOPE’s first public-facing AI agent and the first product of HOPE AI co-chaired with Van Jones, modeled after and named for John's mother, Juanita Smith. He argues AI won’t replace most jobs, but workers may be replaced by those who can use AI, urging audiences to upskill quickly as change accelerates from 2024–2030. John describes Juanita Smith’s journey from poverty to a million-dollar net worth, including saving on low wages, buying and selling seven homes, maintaining strong credit, and building assets, and says Juanita AI will provide 24/7 free (donor-funded) guidance on financial literacy and resilience via OperationHOPE.orgSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI can help you write social media captions faster… but if you're copying and pasting exactly what ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini gives you, people can usually tell.In this video, I'm sharing how I use AI to help write social media captions while still making sure the finished post sounds like ME.I'll walk you through my actual process - from giving AI a video transcript or quick description to reading the caption out loud, shortening it, changing the hook, cleaning up emojis and adding my own personality back in.You'll learn:* How I use ChatGPT to help write social media captions* Why I never blindly copy and paste AI-generated content* The read-it-out-loud trick I use before posting* What I almost always delete from AI captions* How I personalize hooks and calls to action* Why adding opinions, personality and imperfections matters* How to make AI-generated content sound more human* Why sometimes I skip AI and write the caption myselfAI should help you communicate your ideas - not make everyone sound exactly the same.The goal isn't to make AI write like a human. The goal is to use AI as a starting point and then make sure the final content sounds like YOU.

In this episode, Ernie Svenson talks with Docket Drafter co-founder Tommy Eberle about what lawyers need to understand to use AI tools like Claude more effectively. They unpack why Word documents consume so many tokens, why AI performance can decline during long chats, how context windows and compaction affect results, and when to use different Claude models and thinking levels. Tommy also explains how lawyers can use AI to organize files, automate repetitive document work, and build more efficient workflows—without needing to become programmers themselves.

How do you use AI in your business without losing the human touch? In this episode I sit down with Kenny Wyatt, CEO of Pushpay, to talk about the overlap of faith, technology, leadership, and sustainable business growth. Kenny shares how God called him out of a 30-year technology career into serving churches through technology, and why he believes the right tools should strengthen human connection instead of replacing it. We get into how Christian entrepreneurs and ministries can use AI wisely, where you need to keep the human touch, and why clear boundaries and policies around AI matter. Kenny also shares his approach to servant leadership, developing leaders, staying focused on your mission, learning from failure, and avoiding the distractions that come with growth. Whether you're a Christian entrepreneur, a ministry leader, or a business owner navigating how fast technology is changing, this conversation will help you think differently about how you lead, grow, and steward what God has entrusted to you. __________________________________________________________

What happens when we start asking AI to help us make decisions about our lives, relationships, and mental health? JVN sits down with NYU Professor, author, and AI researcher Meredith Broussard to unpack what AI actually is, what it can and can't do, and how we can make smarter choices about when to use it. Jonathan and Meredith break down the AI bubble, generative and agentic AI, how AI models are built, and why the benchmarks we use to measure them don't always tell the whole story. They also get into one of the most personal questions of the AI era: What happens when we start asking machines for advice about our lives, our relationships, and our mental health? Meredith explains why human expertise and critical thinking still matter, why AI can be especially risky when we're vulnerable or looking for emotional support, and how relying on machines for connection can change the way we relate to other people. They also explore the environmental costs of AI infrastructure, the realities behind talk of “superintelligence,” and practical guidelines for deciding when AI is useful, and when it's better to turn to a human. Because getting better in the age of AI may not mean learning how to use more technology. It may mean getting better at knowing when not to.

Your clients are already using AI to question pricing, offers, inspections and agent recommendations. The agents who still believe access to information is their competitive advantage are about to have a problem. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain how AI is changing the relationship between real estate agents and consumers. Buyers and sellers can now pressure-test your recommendations before, during and after your conversations with them. The answer isn't to dismiss ChatGPT or fight with your clients about whether AI is right. The opportunity is to become better at the things information alone cannot solve. You'll learn why agents should pressure-test AI instead of arguing with it, how to give AI enough transaction context to produce more useful answers, why strategy and negotiation matter more than access to comps, how AI search could affect agent visibility, and why Google Business Profile and hyperlocal content deserve attention. You'll also hear why Tim and Julie believe real estate agents need to get back in front of people. Human conversations, body language, seller motivation, past clients and centers of influence become even more valuable as more of the industry moves behind screens. Use AI to become faster. Then use the time it gives back to build relationships, negotiate better, solve problems and have more real conversations.

We've talked about the risks. We've talked about the opportunities. We've talked about what AI could change about school, work, thinking, relationships, and even the way our kids find meaning. But eventually, every parent gets to the same question: Okay... so what do I actually do with my child? The answer isn't the same for a 7-year-old as it is for a 13-year-old. And it shouldn't be. In this final episode, I walk through how I'd introduce AI at different ages: when I'd stay close, when I'd start handing over more independence, what I'd want kids learning along the way, and what I'd protect fiercely outside of the technology. Because I don't think the answer is to hide from AI. And I don't think it's to hand our kids a powerful tool and hope they figure it out. There's a middle ground. And if we've done this series right, you should finish this episode feeling a little less like you need to predict the future... and a lot more like you know how to parent through it.

What separates businesses that scale from those that never break through? Marcus Lemonis, entrepreneur, investor, and star of The Profit, reveals the principles that have guided decades of building and transforming iconic companies. He explains why financial literacy, customer lifetime value, and hiring the right people matter more than chasing quick wins.

From leadership and data to resilience and purpose, this conversation delivers a practical blueprint for entrepreneurs determined to build companies that stand the test of time.Key TakeawaysMaster your numbers before trying to scale your business.Build around people first, then strengthen process and product.Focus on customer lifetime value instead of one-time sales.Use AI as a strategic thinking partner, not just a search engine.Create a business that reflects the values and principles you admire.Notable Quotes"Most business owners that do not succeed have no comprehension of their numbers.""It does start with good people.""I'm only selling things that add value to their life, not mine.""Use AI as an enhancement to your brain.""There's no such thing as self-made.

What if the skill that makes a comedian great on an unscripted stage is the same skill that makes a leader great in an unpredictable economy?Layoffs and AI have left a lot of people feeling like a line item instead of a human being. Jordana Cole flips that on its head: you are not the resource, you are the source.Jordana is an applied improviser, Gallup Strengths Coach, and University of Pennsylvania positive psychology grad. In this episode she joins host Ashish Kothari to turn a decade on the improv stage into a practical playbook for leading through uncertainty.Together they dig into why AI has no source material without us, why uncertainty is the constant rather than the exception, why an 80/20 tilt toward strengths beats the grind of fixing what is broken, and why play is not a reward for hard work but the thing that makes hard work possible.Improvisation, not certainty, is the human edge in the age of AI. You will walk away with three things you can try this week and one brainstorming trick that changes how your team thinks.What You Will Learn:You are the source, not the resource. AI has nothing to learn from without us.Uncertainty is the constant, not the exception. Possibility, not threat.Play to the scene you're in. Accept reality first, then decide what's next.Lead with your strengths. Gallup: 3x higher quality of life, 6x more engagement.Co-create, including with AI.

Here's the link to my 2.0 calendar planning system…  https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem **The perfect pairing to use with AI** I explain how and why towards the end of this episode!      I think most people are using AI way too small.   They're asking it to rewrite an email, make a grocery list, or answer a random question… which is fine. But that's like buying a Ferrari and using it to drive to the mailbox. The real opportunity is to use AI to remove friction from your life. To make decisions faster. To stop carrying 47 unfinished thoughts around in your head. To get healthier, make more money, organize your life, solve problems faster, and actually create more space for the things you care about.   Today I want to show you how to start thinking differently about AI altogether. How to use it almost like an extension of your brain… a personal assistant, strategist, researcher, coach, planner, and sounding board that is available the second you have a problem to solve.   Because I really believe the people who learn how to use AI well right now are going to have an insane advantage. Not because they're smarter or working harder… but because they're going to spend so much less time stuck in the figuring-it-out phase.    And that means more time spent in forward motion, less of the mundane and more time living… which is always the goal.   IDEAS!!  TURN YOUR REFRIGERATOR INTO A PERSONAL CHEF Take a picture of what you have and say: "I want a high-protein dinner using these ingredients. Under 30 minutes, at least 40 grams of protein, no seed oils, kid-friendly, and minimal dishes." Now AI isn't giving you a random recipe. It's solving your actual dinner problem. USE BOOKS FOR EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED Instead of just asking for a book summary, make it relevant to your life. "Teach me the parenting principles from Good Inside using examples with an eight-year-old." "Explain the identity-based habits concept from Atomic Habits and tell me how to use it for my current goal." You can learn exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. USE AI AS YOUR TRAVEL CONCIERGE Give it your destination, hotel, kids' ages, budget, preferences, and schedule. Then ask it to: • Build the itinerary • Avoid tourist traps • Find great restaurants • Plan rainy-day backups • Organize everything geographically • Tell you what to pack • Compare hotel options • Decide whether upgrades are worth it It can save hours of research. TREAT IT LIKE A PERSONAL ASSISTANT If something has been sitting on your list because it requires research or decision-making… hand it over. "I'm comparing these three gyms." "I need a new mattress." "I'm choosing between schools." "I need the perfect birthday gift." Tell AI your priorities and let it compare the options. Don't just ask: "Answer this question." Ask: "Help me solve this entire problem." HIRE YOURSELF A PERSONAL TRAINER Say: "Act as my personal trainer. Ask me everything you need before building my program." Give it your goals, schedule, equipment, injuries, current fitness level, and nutrition goals. Then let it create a plan around your actual life. And when life changes: "I only have 25 minutes today. Modify my workout." LET AI ORGANIZE YOUR HOUSE Take a picture of your pantry, closet, garage, or playroom. Then ask: "Pretend you're a professional organizer. Tell me what to donate, relocate, buy, and exactly what order to tackle this in." This is especially helpful when you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start. USE AI AS A THINKING PARTNER Sometimes you don't need more information. You need perspective. Dump the entire situation into ChatGPT. Then ask: "What am I not seeing?" "What pattern do you notice?" "If you were incredibly direct with me, what would you tell me?" Sometimes getting everything out of your head and organized is enough to create clarity. BUILD YOUR DREAM LIFE BACKWARDS Describe your current life. Then describe the life you want. Example: "I'm overwhelmed, my house is cluttered, I don't have enough energy, and I always feel behind." Versus: "My home feels calm, I feel strong, I'm organized, I have financial confidence, and my days feel intentional." Then ask: "Build me the smallest daily and weekly habits that would move me from Version A to Version B." Now AI becomes a life-design tool. CREATE A DEFAULT HEALTHY DAY Stop making 100 tiny decisions every day. Give AI your schedule and priorities. "I wake up at 5:30, kids leave at 7:45, I work from 8 to 1, I want 10,000 steps, 130 grams of protein, a workout, time outside, and bed by 9:30. Build me the most efficient version of my day." Now you have a default operating system instead of reinventing your schedule every morning. AUDIT YOUR TIME + MONEY Give AI your spending and say: "I want to free up $2,000 a month without dramatically changing our lifestyle. Show me where you would find it." Give AI your weekly calendar and say: "My priorities are health, family, income-producing work, and margin. Tell me what should be eliminated, delegated, batched, or moved." Sometimes the problem isn't that you need more time or money. You need to use what you already have better. THE BIG IDEA The people getting the best results from AI aren't necessarily asking better questions. They're giving better context. Don't ask: "What's a healthy dinner?" Ask: "I have 25 minutes, two hungry kids, chicken, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and Greek yogurt. I want something high-protein, kid-friendly, no seed oils, and minimal cleanup." The better you brief AI… The better it performs.   ** Last thoughts ** Imagine carrying around a world-class assistant everywhere you go. Someone who can organize, research, teach, plan, compare, coach, and help you think through almost anything. The goal isn't to think less. The goal is to spend less time stuck. Less time overwhelmed. Less time researching. And more time executing, creating, taking care of yourself, being with your people, and actually living your life.
