The Model Show Spotlight is brought to you by The World of Armor!A flying Lancaster overhead, rows of models below, and a sold‑out vendor hall buzzing with deals—HeritageCon 2026 is set to deliver a full‑throttle modeling day inside the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. We sit down with the new coordination team to share what's changing, what's staying great, and how to lock in your spot before entries sell out.We break down the essentials: March 29, doors at 9 a.m., with registration moving to the museum's system to streamline both admission and model entries. Pre‑registration opens March 1 at 9 a.m., and there's no registration at the door, so timing matters. Expect a packed floor with over 140 vendor tables, from local shops to aftermarket specialists offering barrels, tracks, decals, tools, and the kind of book deals that vanish fast. Between the C‑47, B‑25, and the museum's showpiece Lancaster, you'll have instant reference material for weathering, modulation, and panel tone decisions you can take straight to the bench.Programming keeps the momentum high. Judging starts at noon while the seminar track runs with Harvey Lowe on aircraft modulation and weathering, plus our live “Wheel of Accidental Wisdom”—a fast, practical, game‑style session where crowd questions turn into build tips and giveaways. The contest follows a familiar IPMS structure: armor by era and side, aircraft across pre‑war to Cold War, a growing Gundam and sci‑fi presence, plus robust auto and ship categories. Specialty awards add local flavor, including best Canadian subject, best fighter flown by a Canadian pilot, best Ukrainian subject, veteran recognition, people's choice, and judges' best of show.We also share travel and weather tips for late March in Ontario, the on‑site cafe plan, and how the community energy carries from the vendor aisles to the evening hangouts. If you're aiming to compete, pre‑register, pack smart, and double‑check your category. If you're there to learn, sit in on the talks, snap reference photos under the Lancaster, and make a wishlist before you hit the vendor hall.Ready to roll? Subscribe for more show spotlights, share this preview with your build group, and leave a quick review so other modelers can find us.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with David Stephenson, SVP of Technology at Entrepreneurs' Organization, to unpack what true collaboration really means in associations and nonprofits. Together, they explore the difference between transactional vendor relationships and deep strategic partnerships, how to build psychological safety within project teams, and why honest dialogue is essential for successful outcomes. David also shares practical tactics for selecting partners, navigating conflict, and reducing organizational risk through collaborative practices.Themes and Topics:What Collaboration Really Is (and Isn't)Collaboration isn't about being nice or making sure “everyone's at the table.” It's about having the right mix of people with different perspectives.When everyone thinks the same and has the same motivations, you end up with polite agreement, not real progress.There's a big difference between just enlarging a meeting and actually collaborating with intention.Getting the Right Mix: Staff, Members, Vendors, and PartnersAssociations juggle vendors, partners, staff, and members, each with different levels of involvement and motivation.David distinguishes between people who are in the weeds with you (like design and development partners) and those who play a key but more behind‑the‑scenes role (like hosting providers).Upfront, he works to get everyone on the same page: What problem are we solving? What role do you play? What's your motive (and recognizing that everyone has one, and that's okay)?Vendors vs. Partners: Building the Right Kind of RelationshipIn his head, David does see a spectrum: some are more transactional services (SaaS products, integration tools), while others are strategic partners who need to understand mission, business objectives, and strategy.He tries not to use the word vendor in conversation and instead works to make everyone feel like a partner, even if their role is more narrow.When negotiating, he looks for a fair outcome on both sides — if a partner walks away with “really thin margins,” you end up with constant “change order” moments and a strained dynamic from day one.Honest Dialogue, Healthy Friction, and Psychological SafetyDavid values partners who can say things like “That's just not possible,” or “That doesn't align with the strategy you described,” instead of always saying yes.He expects and welcomes friction and hard conversations around timelines, costs, and expectations. If there's zero friction, something's probably off.Psychological safety is key: people need to feel they can disagree, say “I don't think this is working,” or ask tough questions without fearing for their job, contract, or relationship.Doing the Work: Projects, Postmortems, and “Disagree but Commit”David admits he hasn't “cracked the code” on postmortems, but he knows they only work if people feel safe enough to speak up during the project, not just after.When collaboration is done well, it may feel slow at the beginning, but it ultimately makes the work go faster and smoother than siloed, go-it-alone approaches.He likes setting expectations from the start: speak up when it's “cheap to disagree,” and embrace the idea of “disagree, but commit” so the team can move forward with one voice.Collaboration as Risk Reduction for the FutureDavid sees collaboration as a way to de‑risk his future; the stronger his network and partnerships, the better prepared he is for what's coming.Staying insular and only looking inside your own team or organization raises your risk, especially in fast-changing areas like technology and AI.By collaborating widely and intentionally, associati
In this week's One Vision Podcast, we welcome back Sandeep Mangaraj, now co-founder of Aileron Group, to discuss lessons from building a company in a crowded AI market and why AI success is more about people and process than technology. The conversation covers executives rushing into GenAI due to FOMO, the importance of starting with desired outcomes rather than applying GenAI everywhere, and why mid-market institutions may benefit from faster time-to-decision, less technical debt, and faster learning cycles. The key question is whether firms can afford the downside of waiting. And the answer is increasingly: No.00:00 Welcome Back: Meet Sandeep Mangaraj 00:55 Building Aileron: Lessons From a Crowded AI Market03:49 The AI ROI Myth: What's Actually Being Measured?05:28 FOMO vs Outcomes: Picking the Right AI Use Cases10:09 Falling Costs & Speed of Learning12:40 Who Owns AI Outcomes and Who's Accountable When It Breaks?14:55 Third-Party Risk: Regulators, Vendors, and Dependencies19:51 “Can You Afford to Wait?”23:02 Closing: Act With Purpose in 2026Hot take: The barrier to AI success isn't technology, it's people and process. #AI #Fintech #GenerativeAI #DigitalTransformation
Rebuild From Zero follows Josh Ax as he breaks down exactly how he'd start over if the business disappeared—what he'd focus on first, how he'd generate deals fast, and why most investors stay stuck. He shares his path from property management into high-volume real estate, the mindset shift that unlocked scale, and the practical systems that keep lead flow alive even when revenue dips. From hiring and training an acquisition killer to reactivating old leads, tracking marketing ROI, and getting back to fundamentals, this episode is a blueprint for rebuilding momentum in any market. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

How One Virginia Town is Reinventing Community Commerce During Its Bicentennial Mount Jackson, Virginia, is having a moment. During a recent Tourism Tuesday episode of The Valley Today, Town Manager Olivia Hilton sat down with host Janet Michael to share an ambitious slate of initiatives transforming this small Shenandoah County community. From quirky farmers markets to business incubators, Mount Jackson is proving that small towns can think big—and get a little weird while doing it. Honoring History First Before diving into future plans, Olivia highlights the town's commitment to preserving its past. On February 28th, Mount Jackson will host "Roots and Resilience," the finale event for Shenandoah County's Black History Month programming. The event features historian Rosemary Wallinger, who will discuss the CCC camp at Wolf Gap and her work revitalizing the Mount Jackson Colored Cemetery, which was recently added to Virginia's historic registry. Notably, the town plans to record Wallinger's presentation so descendants living in other states can participate virtually, demonstrating how Mount Jackson balances heritage preservation with modern accessibility. Junk and Jams: When Markets Get Funky Starting in April, Mount Jackson launches what might be the region's most creative take on the traditional farmers market. "Junk and Jams" reimagines the second Saturday market experience by pairing music genres with seasonal themes, creating what Olivia describes as a "funky" alternative to larger regional markets. The concept emerged from a brainstorming session—or perhaps a dream—by Assistant Town Manager, Greg Beam, who texted Olivia a flurry of ideas one morning. Rather than competing with established markets in Harrisonburg or Winchester, Mount Jackson decided to embrace its quirky side. Each month features a distinct theme: April kicks off with "Retro and Roots," a 1950s greaser aesthetic meets spring cleaning, complete with retro kitchen kitsch, greenhouse starts, and farm-fresh eggs. May transitions to "Floral and Fiddles," while August brings "Sunflowers and Southern Rock" during the town's yard crawl weekend. Beyond the alliterative themes, Junk and Jams incorporates interactive elements that set it apart. A Model T club will demonstrate disassembling and reassembling vintage cars. The local museum plans a "Price is Right" style game featuring historical products. Vendors will demonstrate kombucha brewing and tea making. Meanwhile, the town is developing a digital cookbook to tie into the bicentennial celebration, weaving history into every program. Importantly, vendors don't need to match the monthly theme—the music and decor create the vibe while crafters, farmers, and vintage sellers bring whatever handmade, homemade, or antique goods they offer. At just $10 per market or $60 for all six events, the barrier to entry remains intentionally low. As Olivia jokes, even if only she and Greg show up, "we're gonna have the time of our lives." The Nest: Incubating Main Street's Future Perhaps Mount Jackson's most ambitious project is The Nest, a retail incubator opening this spring in a renovated 1930s hardware store on Main Street. The concept addresses a common small business challenge: entrepreneurs who aren't quite ready for their own brick-and-mortar location due to full-time jobs, health insurance needs, family obligations, or simple uncertainty about whether their hobby can become a viable business. Thanks to two years of grant funding from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development totaling $125,000 distributed among 11 businesses, Mount Jackson created this shared retail space. Four "nesters" from the Mount Jackson Five business program will anchor the location: Joyce Kelly with Two Turtle Doves, Ryan Peters with Home Revival & Decor, Mike with Poppy's Dust, and Alex and Abby with Sunbliss, a healthy prepackaged meal service. However, The Nest won't resemble typical booth-style antique malls. Instead, Olivia envisions one cohesive boutique experience where established businesses like Jon Henry's, Clementine Vintage, and Nana's Blue Greenhouse occupy corners alongside the newer entrepreneurs. The space will even incorporate display pieces from other downtown businesses like Mount Jackson Thrift & Gift and Search, with commission-based sales creating a truly collaborative downtown ecosystem. Currently, the town's public works team is renovating the space, leaving Olivia with what she calls "the most stressful choice of my life"—picking paint colors. Meanwhile, Alex from Sunbliss, who happens to be a talented artist, will create a 2.5-by-25-foot mural inside, possibly featuring a woodpecker doing woodwork. As Olivia puts it, "Whatever you wanna do, you're the artist." The nesters will contribute volunteer hours as part of their learning experience, while the town navigates various business models including consignment, wholesale, and commission arrangements. The goal remains clear: give entrepreneurs one to two years to test their concepts before they "fly the nest" into their own storefronts. Nights at the Nest: Midweek Main Street To launch The Nest and activate downtown during typically quiet evenings, Mount Jackson introduces "Nights at the Nest" beginning in May. Every second Tuesday from 4 to 8 PM, the retail space stays open late while a food truck parks in the grassy pocket park between Search Thrift and The Nest. The town plans to string bistro lights between buildings, book live music, and transform an underutilized green space into a gathering spot. As Olivia notes, "Nothing to do on a Tuesday? Come on out and shop a little bit, maybe do some live demonstrations." It's another example of Mount Jackson creating its own social scene while supporting local businesses. The Vintage in the Valley Question The conversation took a bittersweet turn when discussing Vintage in the Valley, Strasburg's beloved festival that was canceled for 2025. Olivia expressed frustration that a community with such dedicated volunteers—including Cath from Lydia's, Sue at Clementine, and the Emporium team—couldn't secure municipal support to continue the event. While she quickly dispelled rumors that Mount Jackson would simply absorb the festival (she clarified that the heart of Vintage lies with its volunteer committee, not just a location), she revealed that discussions are underway for a potential "Vintage Through the Valley" concept that would spread the event countywide. This approach would preserve the Emporium's central role while preventing the complete loss of a cherished regional tradition. Janet admitted she may have started the Mount Jackson rumor herself, though Olivia acknowledged the temptation was real. Instead, she's been reaching out to former Vintage in the Valley vendors, inviting them to try Junk and Jams as an alternative. A Town Creating Its Own Social Life Throughout the conversation, Olivia's enthusiasm and self-awareness shine through. She jokes about "creating my own social life in Mount Jackson," acknowledges when she loses naming debates (she advocated for "Citrus and Soul" in September but conceded to "Apples and Americana" for proper alliteration), and celebrates the "you're changing the world" text messages she receives from Rosemary Wallinger. This personal investment reflects a broader truth about small-town revitalization: it requires passionate individuals willing to take risks, embrace quirkiness, and build community one event at a time. Mount Jackson isn't trying to become Harrisonburg or Winchester. Instead, it's carving out its own identity as a place where vintage meets vegetables, where business incubators share space with established retailers, and where a Tuesday night can become a destination. Looking Ahead As Mount Jackson celebrates its bicentennial, the town demonstrates that honoring 200 years of history doesn't mean living in the past. By supporting entrepreneurs, creating unique market experiences, preserving important heritage sites, and fostering collaboration across the downtown business community, this small Shenandoah County town offers a blueprint for rural revitalization that other communities might study. Whether you're interested in retro kitchen kitsch, healthy meal prep, vintage treasures, or simply supporting a town that's willing to get funky with its farmers market, Mount Jackson invites you to be part of its story. Just follow Town of Mount Jackson on Facebook and Instagram, or check out The Nest's new social media managed by Black Valley Creative. And if you see Olivia recording a podcast from her parked car before class, know that she got there early just to share Mount Jackson's good news. That's the kind of dedication that's making this small town's big year possible.
Why Conservative Debt Wins Long Term breaks down the real reason so many real estate investors got burned over the last few years and why fixed-rate, conservative debt structures continue to outperform across market cycles. In this episode, Arn Cenedella shares lessons from nearly four decades in real estate, explains how floating-rate debt quietly destroys deals, and outlines how disciplined leverage, cash reserves, and long-term thinking protect investors when markets turn. This conversation is a practical guide for investors who care more about durability and freedom than chasing short-term wins. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

After many weeks of work with corporate HR leaders, technology companies, and implementation teams I'm realizing the word that describes AI is “confusion.” Too much going on, too many unanswered questions, and no clarity about what to do. And many of you have been asked (or told) to lead the “AI Transformation” (which is the wrong phrase, as I explain) to reduce cost. Well I hope today's podcast gives you some clarity. Obviously the space is changing quickly, but there is a clear strategy emerging. I discuss the technology market, vendor strategies, and most important of all, how you as a business leader can leverage AI without going down dead ends. I hope this gives you clarity, and I urge you to read our 2026 Imperatives for Enterprise AI for more. Topics covered: Why AI adoption isn't a transformation — it's a continuous learning process How to design an architecture that avoids vendor chaos and data silos The real ROI of AI: rethinking workflows and job structures, not just automating tasks Strategies for navigating a confusing vendor landscape and building your own solutions How to build a culture of trust and change, and empower employees What to tell employees so they'll lean in to change The importance of speed, experimentation, and trusting the data over perfection. If you're in the middle of your AI strategy, please contact us. Our Systemic HR AI Blueprint will show you the way, and Galileo will help you with vendor analysis, process design, job redesign, and of course the training you need to enable your organization.

Make Money in Bad Markets | Logan Fulmer breaks down how investors can still win when the market is soft, competition is up, and margins are tight. Logan shares how he went from oil field money and early land plays to building a business around distressed property acquisition—buying deals with title defects, ownership disputes, liens, and lawsuits that most investors won't touch. He explains why going direct-to-seller is where the real money is, how to balance speed with risk, and what separates top operators from everyone else when the market turns. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

The Wholesaling Truth Nobody Says features a candid conversation with Clifford Walker on what actually drives consistent success in real estate wholesaling beyond the hype. The episode covers his journey from truck driving to virtual wholesaling across multiple markets, the importance of serving sellers with integrity, and why volume, consistency, and follow-up matter more than flashy tactics. Clifford also breaks down a practical MLS strategy working right now, redefines what "success" really means for new investors, and explains how simplifying the business can create both income and time freedom. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

How Smart Investors Flip Houses Today | Jason Velie breaks down how Jason went from being broke on his first hard money flip to running a 60+ deals/year operation by stacking the right expectations, marketing channels, and systems. He explains why the "second deal" is usually the hardest part, how momentum actually builds like compound interest, and what to focus on when you don't have budget or connections yet. Jason also shares what's working right now (and what stopped working), the biggest mistakes new flippers make with ARV and rehab budgets, and why liquidity and reserves are what keep you alive when the market slows down. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

During their Acumatica Summit podcast review, Jon Reed and Brian Sommer went off into a full-blown treatment of ERP versus AI agent disruptions. Sommer managed to expertly nudge Reed into blowing a gasket over LinkedIn AI exuberance, so we decided to release this back and forth as a separate 15 minute podcast (you can also hear the full Acumatica Summit review as a separate podcast). *** This debate is not intended as a complete coverage of this topic, just as a flavor for the issues ERP vendors and their customers are facing ***. Though this discussion references Acumatica, it's about the ERP market as a whole, and there is a contrast made between ERP vendors with legacy install bases and those with more flexible/real-time systems - without that older install base. Discussions where things run hot are fun, but for a more complete review of this topic, track Reed and Sommer's ongoing articles on diginomica.com.

The Real Way to Scale | Jared Jones explores what it actually takes to grow a real estate business without burning out or chasing every deal that comes along. In this episode, Jared Jones explains why true scale comes from value creation over value extraction, focusing on repeatable deal profiles, and learning to say no to distractions that don't serve long-term goals. The conversation dives into ADUs, micro development, capital partner alignment, avoiding costly beginner mistakes, and how purpose, principles, and long-term thinking drive sustainable growth in real estate investing. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

In this special ProveIt edition of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad Romanoff and Dave Griffith sit down with Amy Williams from Skellig Automation to unpack Enterprise C, a life sciences virtual factory built to look and feel like the reality inside many regulated facilities today. If you work around batch processes, compliance, historian projects, electronic batch records, or industrial data architecture, this conversation is a practical walkthrough of what it actually takes to turn raw signals into a story you can defend, improve, and scale.Amy has spent years working exclusively in life sciences manufacturing, starting deep in DeltaV automation for batch pharma and moving into digital transformation projects that focus on open architectures, modern data pipelines, and real operational outcomes. In this episode, she explains what Enterprise C is simulating, why it was designed as an Industry 3.0 style biotech startup, and what kind of data and documentation a vendor would have to wrestle with in the real world. The factory is producing a fictional enzyme using a fed batch fermentation process, and the UNS publishes realistic one second resolution batch data across four pieces of single use equipment including a mixer, a bioreactor, a chromatography skid, and a TFF skid.One of the most valuable parts of this episode is the reminder that data sitting in an MQTT broker is not inherently valuable. The value comes when the data is contextualized enough that different teams can use it without tribal knowledge, and when the resulting traceability helps you answer the questions that matter in life sciences. What happened during the batch, what changed compared to previous runs, what went out of spec, what documentation proves compliance, and what you should do next time to avoid losing a batch that can cost millions. Amy also explains why Enterprise C intentionally includes uncontextualized tags and paper files, because that is exactly where many facilities still are. The hard part is not connecting a sensor, the hard part is governance, agreement, and building a model that humans actually follow.You will also hear the crew dig into Smart Manufacturing Profiles and why standardizing information models is one of the clearest paths toward true interoperability. If you are tired of every site, every integrator, and every project reinventing the same pump, valve, and equipment model from scratch, this is the kind of conversation that helps frame why that problem keeps repeating and what might finally reduce it. The ProveIt format forces the questions that most conferences avoid, including what problem was solved, how it was done, how long it took, and what it cost. That is exactly why this conference has become a magnet for practitioners who care about the difference between a demo and a deployable solution.About the hostsVlad Romanoff is an industrial automation and manufacturing systems expert and the founder of Joltek. He has over a decade of experience modernizing control systems, data infrastructure, and plant operations across regulated and high throughput manufacturing environments.Dave Griffith is the cohost of Manufacturing Hub and a long time practitioner in industrial automation and manufacturing technology, focused on practical deployment and what actually works on the plant floor.About the guestAmy Williams works with Skellig Automation and has spent years in life sciences manufacturing, from DeltaV batch automation to digital transformation initiatives that focus on open architectures, data contextualization, and scalable modernization strategies.Timestamps 00:00 ProveIt edition intro and why this month is technology modernization 01:40 Who is Amy Williams and why Enterprise C matters this year 02:10 Amy's background in life sciences, DeltaV, and digital transformation 03:30 Unified Namespace explained in plain language for life sciences 05:10 What Enterprise C publishes and what you will see in the MQTT broker 07:10 Why UNS in life sciences is about use cases, not buzzwords 10:10 Smart Manufacturing Profiles and reducing data model reinvention 11:10 What outcomes to expect including compliance and golden batch analysis 12:10 Enterprise C process overview from mixer to bioreactor to downstream 14:10 Bioreactor instrumentation and what operators still do manually 19:40 Why Enterprise C data is intentionally not contextualized 22:10 The real work of mapping signals to compliance stories and governance 25:10 What SM Profiles enable and why schema matters before data arrives 31:30 Why cost and time questions change everything at ProveIt 36:10 Cell counter files, batch records, and paper driven reality in many sites 45:10 What life sciences attendees should ask during Q and A 58:30 Vendors the team is excited to see and why non traditional players matter 01:02:20 Where to find Skellig at the conference and what they are bringingReferences and links mentioned Skellig Automation https://www.skellig.com/ProveIt Conference https://www.proveitconference.com/CESMII Smart Manufacturing Profiles and Marketplace https://www.cesmii.org/technology/sm-profiles/ https://marketplace.cesmii.net/Joltek resources related to this episode Mastering Unified Namespace https://www.joltek.com/blog/mastering-unified-namespace-uns-a-guide-to-data-driven-manufacturing-transformation Ultimate Guide to MQTT in Manufacturing https://www.joltek.com/blog/ultimate-guide-mqtt-manufacturingSubscribe and follow Manufacturing Hub for more conversations on technology modernization, UNS architecture, MQTT, industrial data systems, and how real factories actually evolve when the goal is uptime, compliance, and measurable outcomes.
By David Stephen who looks at the idea of Digital Insurance and how it could potentially help in Venezuela. Venezuela could have been a testbed to achieve food security for Latin America, as well as new models in small business growth, assuming the recently concluded World Economic Forum was flexible enough to make those themes a priority. There is a recent analysis in The New York Times, The Biggest Challenge in Venezuela? Forget the Oil, It's Stocking the Fridge., stating that, "But the U.S. military raid that removed Venezuela's leader, Nicolás Maduro, has plunged the South American nation into a chaotic new chapter of political and economic uncertainty, setting off a new wave of inflation and currency woes pushing basic grocery items out of the reach of many Venezuelans." Food Security, could Digital Insurance help Venezuela? "The economic turmoil is now threatening to deepen a yearslong humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, where more than 70 percent of people already live in poverty, according to a survey by a group of leading universities in the country." "At the core of the sharp rise in food costs is Venezuela's dependence on the U.S. dollar, widely used in everyday transactions because it is typically less volatile than the country's own currency, the bolívar." "Vendors often buy from suppliers in dollars, so they peg prices to the currency. And they typically charge higher prices if buyers want to pay in Venezuelan bolívar." "Venezuela's minimum monthly wage, eroded by a decade of inflation and not adjusted in years, is now equivalent to roughly 50 cents. The government has tried to plug the gap, in part, by paying public-sector workers bonuses, though these have also diminished in value as the currency continues to wither." Food Security Digital Insurance To solve food security in Venezuela within 8 – 12 months, there can be a product called food security insurance across the country. The purpose of this insurance is to raise capital to subsidize a number of farming necessities in the nation. For example, in Venezuela, like in other places, necessities for agriculture include irrigation, land, crops, farm machinery, fertilizers, pesticides, storages and transport to market. Now, whatever makes food scarce, expensive or unavailable can be linked [hypothetically] with the price of two or more of these necessities. There are also regions in the country that some [subsidized necessities] might be easier as well as crops of staple foods that some [subsidized necessities] may have higher impact. In Venezuela, important crops that make the basis for food variants include maize, beans, rice and plantain. Now, if some of the agricultural necessities to two or more of these crops are provided, how much will it boost supply and extremely lower retail price, such that no matter the lack in a family, they can still afford enough food? The goal is to raise capital to subsidize necessities that would be applied to some crops to ensure they are oversupplied, hence extremely inexpensive. There can be national and regional agricultural necessity subsidy, as well as for crop options as well. Venezuela already has Comités Locales de Abastecimiento y Producción [cheap food handouts, CLAP] and bonos [cash handouts]. So, it is possible to germinate the food security insurance as a pivot from both. There are two ways to motivate demand for the insurance. The first is that those that buy will be eligible for a raffle to win certain food items. The second is that those that buy the insurance will qualify to purchase the subsidized food items when it is out. This means that ultimately the insurance is a ticket to buy subsidized high-supply food. So, rather than food or cash handouts, with lots of uncertainty and volatility, it is possible to structure it with a digital insurance product, so that people have more to eat, wherever they are, for however less they have. The technical and business models can be expansive, to ensure that it becomes...
Feb 5, 2026: Are software vendors in trouble? Why are employees suddenly complying with return-to-office mandates? And what happens when leaders are afraid to ask their own teams for feedback? In today's episode of Future-Ready Today, we unpack five stories that together reveal a major reset happening inside organizations: Why Workday is cutting jobs — and what falling enterprise software stocks (including ServiceNow) signal about how AI is disrupting traditional SaaS business models. New data showing workers backing down on return-to-office demands as employers reclaim leverage. A leadership study revealing that senior executives want feedback — but fear appearing weak if they ask. Layoffs surging to the highest January level since 2009, driven in part by restructuring at UPS following shifts in volume from Amazon. And research from Bain & Company showing a massive disconnect between leaders who think change is working and employees who say it isn't.
In this State of the Union, Casey explains why 2026 is the moment to go fractional - and why waiting will cost you. March 2020: his agency friends got destroyed by cancellations. His fractional clients pulled him closer. Vendors get cut. Leaders get kept. Corporate security is dead. That IBM pension your dad had? Gone. Health insurance keeping you stuck? It's $600/month - nothing when you're charging $10K+ per client. Companies fire 15-year veterans in five minutes. Fractional CMOs hit $350/hour serving 3-5 clients at 10 hours per week. The numbers: fractional roles doubled in two years. By 2030, 30% of the C-suite will be fractional. Agencies are dying to AI and offshore talent. But boring businesses - HVAC, franchises, banks - desperately need marketing leadership. Strategy and leadership. Not implementation. Member wins: Mandy cleared $40-50K in one month. Sean makes more in half the time. Lisa won one deal that beat 50% of her best corporate year. She said: "I'm never going back." Stop hiding. Commit to a niche for 90 days. Talk to strangers. Make offers. Win that first $5-15K/month client for strategy only. You'll taste the freedom and never look back. Key Topics Covered: - Vendors get cut. Leaders get kept. (March 2020 lesson) - 30% of C-suite will be fractional by 2030. We're still early. - Boring businesses (HVAC, franchises, banks) need fractional CMOs more than sexy startups. - Project-based work sucks. Long-term engagements are where the money is. - AI is creating slop everywhere. Your job is to be the signal in the noise. - Agencies are losing relevance. Can't charge $195/hour for emails anymore. - You don't need perfect credentials. Business owners want the best person in front of them right now. - Commit to a niche for 90 days minimum. Can't be notable if you're for everyone. - Talk to strangers. Build real relationships. That's the only scalable path.

Close More Deals | Jerry Green breaks down why many real estate investors lose opportunities even with strong lead flow, and how a repeatable sales process can increase conversions and margins. Jerry shares how he got started in wholesaling in the 1990s, how his business evolved over 30+ years, and why most teams rely on dysfunctional "traditional" sales habits that go against how people actually make decisions. The episode covers simplified acquisition training, program-based selling, building trust in a "trust recession," avoiding the mistake of overthinking numbers, and scaling like a real company with clear roles, systems, and KPIs. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

ALL Method Wealth Building | Joshua Massari breaks down how Joshua and his wife rapidly built equity using a live-in renovation strategy that turns primary residences into long-term wealth engines. In this episode, Joshua explains the ALL method (Acquire, Live, Lift, Leverage, Loop), how they grew from roughly $270K to $2.3M in equity in under five years, and why "the ugliest house in the best neighborhood" is the best starting point. The conversation also covers using a solo 401(k) for out-of-state rentals, leveraging HELOCs and creative equity options, avoiding common overpaying traps, and what success looks like beyond just hitting millionaire status. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

It's the beginning of the year — a common time when companies evaluate a new CPQ or Revenue Management solution, or consider replacing what they have. If you've started researching and feel more confused than before, you're not alone. In this solo episode, Frank Sohn explains why CPQ selection is uniquely challenging: there are 125+ CPQ vendors, plus analyst rankings, review sites, partner input, Reddit threads, and now AI tools — all creating information overload. In this episode, you'll learn: Why there are so many CPQ vendors (and what that really means) The difference between CPQ and Revenue Lifecycle Management Why CPQ is a system decision, not just a sales tool What a unified data model is — and why it matters for AI Why subscriptions, amendments, and usage-based pricing change requirements How to build a smarter shortlist without relying on demos or rankings alone If you're in the market for CPQ — first-time or replacement — this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what matters.

Why 50% of Real Estate Deals Die at Closing (And How to Fix It) breaks down the real reason so many contracts never make it to the finish line—and what professional operators do differently to close consistently. David Olds shares how title issues, foreclosure timelines, probate surprises, and "investor-friendly" misunderstandings quietly kill deals, plus the simple fix: frontload the entire closing process from day one with the right checklists, weekly seller touchpoints, and the right title company for the deal type. The episode also covers how transaction coordination frees investors to stay focused on sellers and buyers, why outsourcing can become a profit center, and what to do when market regulation and shifting conditions create new obstacles. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

The Trump administration's effort to cap the fees charged by value‑added resellers appears to be slowing down. The General Services Administration has put out a new request for information, and that pause is giving some vendors relief that the agency is taking more time to understand the market. For more on what the RFI signals and how industry is reacting, Federal News Network executive editor Jason Miller joins me now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
France's decision to discontinue American collaboration platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams for government use—replacing them with the domestically developed Vizio platform—signals a shift toward digital sovereignty and data control within regulated jurisdictions. This move, formalized as part of France's Suite Numerique and to be implemented by 2027, highlights the increasing fragmentation of technology policy where national governments assert authority over platform selection and sensitive data handling. The development underscores operational risk for MSPs and IT service providers as assumptions of technology homogeneity across regions become unreliable.Supporting these shifts, South Korea enacted the world's first comprehensive AI legislation, requiring mandatory labeling of AI-generated content and risk assessments for high-impact systems, such as those in hiring and healthcare. According to the transcript, 98% of AI startups in South Korea report they are not prepared for compliance. Both developments reveal a pattern: early regulatory efforts tend to produce vague requirements, unclear enforcement, and real operational complexity. Providers operating in multiple jurisdictions must now anticipate compliance fragmentation and increased overhead as regulatory regimes diverge.Additional analysis focused on the continued evolution of the managed services stack, particularly through the lens of AI and workflow automation. Companies like Thrive are investing in enterprise platforms that embed AI-driven reasoning within workflow tools, shifting coordination away from traditional PSA ticketing systems. Meanwhile, integrations such as Quark Cyber with ScalePad's Lifecycle Manager X, and new partnerships between ServiceNow, TeamViewer, Anthropic, and OpenAI, illustrate a market splitting between providers focused on standardization and those managing more complex, enterprise-like environments. Microsoft's financial results further highlighted this trend, with record capital expenditure on AI infrastructure and increased reliance on proprietary chips to reduce dependency on external vendors like Nvidia and OpenAI.For MSPs, these developments raise practical governance and accountability questions. Shifts in regulatory authority and technology platforms create increased risk exposure for providers that do not proactively manage cross-jurisdictional compliance and secure defaults. Vendors are tightening control over platforms as AI becomes central to product architecture, often prioritizing internal risk management over shared upside with partners. Providers that fail to enforce robust data governance, understand cost drift, or plan for architectural lock-in are positioned less as strategic advisors and more as absorbers of client and vendor risk.Four things to know today00:00 France's Platform Ban and South Korea's AI Law Show Regulation Catching Up to Technology04:23 AI Is Reshaping the MSP Tool Stack as Thrive, ServiceNow, and ScalePad Take Different Paths07:37 Microsoft's SMTP AUTH Delay and CISA's AI Slip Show the Risk of Optional Security ControlsAND10:26 Earnings Show Microsoft Turning AI From Feature to Infrastructure as Partner Risk GrowsSponsored by: TimeZest

In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth, CEO of Point-of-Care Partners (POCP), is joined by colleagues Mary Griskewicz, Regulatory Resource Center Lead, and Janice Reese, Senior Consultant and Program Manager of FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST), for a wide-ranging discussion on two major proposed rules released in mid-December 2025: the HTI-5 proposed rule from the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP) and CMS's latest proposal on healthcare price transparency.Rather than treating these rules as abstract policy exercises, the conversation focuses on what the government is trying to accomplish, how these proposals may reshape the interoperability and data access landscape, and why stakeholder participation during the comment period is not optional if the industry wants workable outcomes.Setting the Stage: How Proposed Rules Become RealityThe episode opens with a level set for listeners who do not spend their days in the Federal Register. Mary walks through how proposed rules originate, typically from legislation or executive policy, and how they move from proposal to public comment to either a final rule, an interim final rule, or, in some cases, a complete pause or reset.She emphasizes a point that often gets overlooked: every public comment is read and reviewed. The agencies group and analyze the comments section by section and respond to themes and concerns in the final rule text. Janice builds on this by explaining that the comment period is where high-level policy intent meets operational reality. The most effective comments are not lengthy manifestos, but specific, experience-based feedback that highlights feasibility issues, sequencing challenges, and unintended consequences.HTI-5: From Experimentation to ExecutionThe discussion then turns to HTI-5, with Mary outlining the core problem the rule is trying to address. Prior certification requirements placed a significant burden on vendors, often locking innovation into long development cycles while the market waited for updates. HTI-5 seeks to modernize this approach by reducing prescriptive certification requirements and relying more on modern, open architecture, particularly FHIR-based APIs, to enable faster, more scalable data exchange.Janice frames HTI-5 as a clear signal that the industry is moving out of the experimentation phase and into execution. By reinforcing a “FHIR-first” direction while pulling back on some certification detail, the rule implicitly raises expectations for real-world performance. As FHIR becomes the default, security, identity, consent, and trust cannot be treated as optional or inconsistently implemented components.From a FAST perspective, this shift is critical. HTI-5 creates the regulatory space, but the infrastructure and implementation guidance needed to make trusted interoperability work at scale must come from industry-led collaboration. Janice explains that FAST's work on security, identity, consent, and national directory services is about operationalizing trust so organizations are not reinventing these foundations on their own.Information Blocking, Automation, and Trust at ScaleA pivotal moment in the conversation centers on HTI-5's clarification that information blocking explicitly includes automated and AI-driven access. Mary underscores that automation is now central to how data moves across the healthcare ecosystem. When access decisions are embedded in APIs, workflows, and algorithms, trust becomes the defining requirement.Janice expands on this by noting that the issue is not just whether data can be accessed, but whether access is appropriate, provable, and governed. As automation increases, expectations shift toward accountability, auditability, and consistent enforcement of identity and consent. FHIR APIs, once viewed as certification checkboxes, are becoming the primary channel for data exchange across networks, including consumer-facing applications.Stakeholder Impacts: Vendors, Providers, and PayersThe episode then walks through how HTI-5 affects different stakeholder groups. For health IT vendors and digital health companies, Janice describes a trade-off: fewer certification guardrails provide flexibility but also remove a layer of protection. Vendors will be judged less on formal compliance artifacts and more on how their systems perform across networks at scale, including security, identity management, and reliability.Mary cautions that vendors should not interpret HTI-5 as traditional deregulation. With HTI-6 already on the horizon, organizations that underinvest now risk facing more stringent outcome-based expectations later. Tony reinforces this point, arguing that the real risk is collective. A single high-profile failure due to weak security or identity practices could undermine trust across the ecosystem and invite a regulatory response that affects everyone.For providers and health systems, the shift means becoming more informed consumers of technology. Certification alone will no longer guarantee interoperability or trustworthiness. Providers will increasingly need to ask vendors how solutions perform in environments beyond a single one and how identity, consent, and security are handled across organizational boundaries.From a payer perspective, Mary explains that while HTI-5 does not directly change prior authorization requirements, it fundamentally reshapes the data access environment. As FHIR APIs become the default, plans will be expected to exchange data more dynamically and through automated workflows. This raises expectations around timeliness, quality, and trust, and accelerates a shift from managing transactions to managing trust at scale.Price Transparency: Compliance Without ClarityThe conversation then transitions to CMS's proposed price transparency rule, with Tony noting the absence of POCP's usual price transparency expert and setting expectations for a higher-level discussion. Mary explains that this tri-agency proposal builds on earlier rules by clarifying standards, easing some reporting burdens, and refining requirements around machine-readable files, metadata, and reporting timelines.While these changes offer some relief to plans, Janice highlights a deeper challenge. Making pricing data available does not make it meaningful. Without consistent ways to connect clinical concepts to billing codes and pricing structures, patients and employers are left with technically accurate but practically unusable information. True transparency will require better integration of pricing data into real-time workflows, supported by APIs, governance, and trust frameworks.Mary also reminds listeners that employers are a critical stakeholder often overlooked in these discussions. As purchasers of coverage, they rely on usable pricing data to understand utilization and manage costs, making their perspective essential during the comment period.The Closing Message: Comment, Participate, Get InvolvedThe episode closes with a strong call to action. Mary urges listeners to “get off the bench” and engage, regardless of which rule is at issue. Comment periods directly affect compliance programs, product roadmaps, and competitive positioning. Janice reinforces that policy alone cannot solve interoperability challenges. Progress depends on shared implementation guidance, testing, governance, and sustained participation in standards organizations and multi-stakeholder initiatives, including FAST.The final takeaway is clear: HTI-5 and the price transparency proposal are not just regulatory events. They are inflection points. Organizations that participate now can help shape outcomes that are achievable, scalable, and trusted. Those that sit out will be left reacting to decisions made without their operational realities at the table.Listeners are reminded that both proposed rules have comment deadlines in late February, and that POCP is available to support organizations in understanding the implications and crafting effective comments. The episode closes, as always, with the reminder that Health IT is a dish best served hot.

OpenAI is introducing advertisements into ChatGPT for free and ChatGPT Go users, aiming to fund artificial general intelligence development. These ads will be clearly labeled and separate from AI responses, with OpenAI stating user conversations will remain private and data will not be sold. Ads will be excluded from sensitive topics. Users can avoid ads by upgrading to a paid subscription, such as the new $8/month ChatGPT Go tier, which offers increased limits and access to the latest model but also features advertisements. This move signifies a monetization strategy, with OpenAI reporting significant revenue growth for ChatGPT.The broader impact of AI on jobs is also discussed, with data suggesting job losses attributed to AI may be overstated. While some roles are affected, particularly entry-level positions, the overall employment impact appears limited. Reports indicate that AI is often used as a justification for layoffs driven by economic factors or overhiring, rather than being the sole cause. The analysis highlights that AI's productivity gains are currently modest, requiring substantial increases to drive large-scale job replacement. However, the International Monetary Fund estimates nearly 40% of global jobs are at risk due to AI, with a growing demand for new skills that offer a wage premium.Automation and platform integrations are accelerating, with ConnectWise acquiring ZofIQ to automate service desk operations within its PSA workflow. D&H is expanding its logistics capabilities by acquiring fulfillment.com, enhancing its supply chain services. Microsoft MVPs are collaborating to showcase free Intune management tools to help organizations manage their Intune environments more effectively. These developments indicate a trend towards deeper platform integration and automation within IT service delivery and logistics.For MSPs and IT service providers, these developments highlight several critical considerations. The introduction of ads in AI tools like ChatGPT raises questions about trust and governance, particularly when these tools are integrated into client-facing workflows. The slowdown in hiring, especially for junior roles, underscores the need for strategic talent development to avoid future capacity gaps. Furthermore, the increasing automation within platforms and services, while offering efficiency, necessitates careful management of counterparty risk, clear contractual definitions of authority, and redefined pricing models to account for shifting liability and decision-making. Vendors retreating from emerging technologies like Meta's VR business also underscore the importance of diligent vendor selection and managing the credibility cost associated with adopted technologies.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us a textBefore reviewing the top ERP vendors for 2026, it is critical to align on what “ERP vendors” actually represent in this analysis: companies, not individual ERP systems. This distinction is essential because most vendors operate multi-product portfolios that span different company sizes, industries, and deployment models, making vendor-level strategy and capital allocation far more predictive of long-term outcomes than isolated feature comparisons. Our evaluation framework, therefore, balances macro forces—such as market share, valuation signals, R&D investment patterns, and acquisition strategy—with micro forces, including product depth, functional coverage, and architectural direction across each portfolio. These dimensions are tightly interconnected; a vendor may have a flagship product that is thriving while adjacent offerings receive limited investment, creating materially different risk profiles depending on which product a buyer selects and how that product fits into the vendor's broader strategic priorities.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 ERP vendors in 2026.

In "How This Developer Built an Empire Through Relationships and Reinvention," Ornella shares how she went from nonprofit work in Colombia to becoming a fast-growing real estate developer operating across Texas, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. She explains how she accidentally entered the industry, scaled from flips to new construction, built a holding company with multiple divisions, and overcame early challenges as a woman with no money, no experience, and no network. Ornella breaks down the key strategies behind her rapid rise—mentorship, masterminds, strong teams, constant learning, cultural alignment, integrity, and the ability to reinvent herself under pressure—while offering insight into market challenges, investor mistakes, hiring, leadership, mindset, and why relationships remain the foundation of every great real estate empire. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....
