Puscar briefly introduces his background as an AI expert and serial entrepreneur and highlights that he has had three successful exits, most recently in May 2023. Puscar then gives us an update on Ziotag, a company where Michael was the CTO, and it was a key topic of the last episode together. Michael explains how Ziotag used AI to make videos more interactive and navigable, and discusses how generative AI models like ChatGPT disrupted the industry by performing content classification. He also talks about the patent he received for a unique natural language processing engine related to video transcripts. Following this we talk about his new focus, NPCx, and its goal to enhance realism in video games. Puscar details how NPCX's technology models characters' movements and behaviors based on real human actions. He discusses the potential for NPCx technology to create video games that resemble animated films, and raises ethical concerns regarding the use of such technology and the potential for misuse. And finally, Puscar talks about his charitable initiatives. In this part of the interview, Puscar shares his belief in entrepreneurs giving back to the communities that support them.

In pursuit of this passion, Mary has spent the past 15 years presenting at dozens of technology conferences including NYSCATE, STANYS and, ISTE among others.  She has become a globally recognized speaker on the topics of augmented reality and virtual reality and the Next Generation Science Standards and shares her strategies through her blog, yoursmarticles.com.  She has published numerous educational technology articles and has provided webinars on Virtual Environments, Virtual Reality, 3D Design, QR codes and digital engagement strategies.  Mary's accolades include recognition as the 2018 International Society for Technology in Education's Virtual Pioneer of the Year and 3 Silver Presidential Volunteer Service awards.  She was a New York State Teacher of the year finalist for 2018 and 2020 and is a New York State Master Teacher.  When Mary isn't elbows deep in her technology initiatives, she is a mother of 3 boys and devotes her free time to refereeing youth hockey and volunteering within the hockey community.  She is an avid runner, Adirondack 46er and recently cycled across New York State on the Erie Canal. Mary is a newly published author with her new release, Artificial Intelligence to Streamline Your Teacher Life: The ChatGPT Guide for Educators.Key Takeaways: AI is a tool that will help give teachers more time, reduce burnout, and improve teaching. Technology is about amplifying teachers' ability to reach all students. Reluctance to integrate technology doesn't come from a place of fear rather a place of this is, "one more thing". The more we streamline teachers' everyday tasks, the more we can get them in front of students and spending more quality time facilitating student learning. ChatGPT still needs to be checked once the product is finished. We need to make sure we follow age and privacy concerns because ChatGPT is collecting data on the users. Education still has to focus on thinking rather than retrieval of information. This will help the integration of ChatGPT as a useful tool rather than a tool used to get good grades. The perfect classroom still has a teacher who is helping guide rich discussions through the Socratic method and collaboration with AI helping streamline that in the background. Leaders need to celebrate every little success individuals have to continually build positivity.

We interviewed one of the founders of the FOXXI team which is one of the leading contributors in building utility for the bitmap ecosystem. After the blockout of Bitmap districts, the major question has been who will step up to build and provide the necessary infrastructure to expand the ecosystem in order for Bitmap to become a major force in the metaverse. FOXXI is working on exactly this by focusing on the social side by creating a platform allowing Ordinal owners to form relationships and also by creating a bitverse where community members will be able to deploy their own virtual environment to connect and explore. This is one of the first attempts at building a 3D immersive layer on top of Bitmap that will grant new utility to all Bitmap owners. We discuss also a built in mechanism that will allow Bitmap owners who deploy their Virtual Environments to extract “bits” which will serve as a mechanism to reward BRC20 tokens down the line, introducing an even greater utility proposition. Topics: First up, Who is Aaron and how did he enter the Web3 space? Next, how does FOXXI compare to their competitors? Then, We asked what the future of Bitmap looks like and Finally, What are FOXXI's plans for the future? Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

She emphasizes the need to use emotionally descriptive language to better connect with clients and build emotional intelligence.The discussion delves into the value of open-ended questions in sales, as opposed to closed-ended questions that lead to binary responses. Kim underscores the role of emotional intelligence in asking higher-value questions and creating engaging conversations that resonate with clients.The conversation also touches on the evolving landscape of sales, where AI and bots are playing a growing role. Kim encourages salespeople to embrace skills that technology cannot replicate, such as creative and critical thinking, as well as emotional intelligence.Kim shares insights into effective leadership qualities, including trust, coaching, and respecting employees' well-being.

They're not going away, but they work best when they are a transfer of emotion and actual human connection and a dialogue.""If all you're going to do is read a script, best to put it on your website instead.""In order for us to ensure that we're always ahead... we need to embrace skills that they cannot do today, which is asking open-ended questions... that evoke feeling, identity, and being into the conversation.""Remembering to reframe that conversation... I choose to go to work. I am lucky to have a job.""If you really... find that having this job is more painful than having no job, then... do yourself and do your employer a favor and find something and leave on the high note, not on the low note."You can connect with Kim Orlesky and her book through the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimorlesky/Amazon: https://a.co/d/8K2n9Q1 If you're listening to the Peak Performance Selling Podcast, please subscribe, share, and send us your feedback.Jordan Benjamin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanbenjamin/MyCoreOs.com: http://mycoreos.com/Podcast: https://www.mycoreos.com/podcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/jbenj09 HOST: Jordan BenjaminGUEST: Kim OrleskyPeak Performance Selling Podcast

In this episode of Peak Performance Selling Podcast, Jordan Benjamin and Kim Orlesky, Chief Executive Officer of KO Advantage Group and Board Member at Business Link AB, discuss the transformation of sales from in-person to virtual interactions. They emphasize the importance of building trust and rapport through social selling and video communication. Kim shares her perspective on focusing on clients' future aspirations rather than just their pain points. They also highlight the significance of asking more questions and slowing down in the sales process to achieve better results.PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTSThe Importance of Future Aspirations - Kim Orlesky: "I come from the school of thought that Dr. Google has solved everybody's pain, right? We really don't have pain anymore because we now know how to search for solutions. The difference, though, is where do they want to be in the future? Where do they see themselves six months, a year in the future? Because that now leads to a lot of question marks and it leads to a lot of uncertainty. And by creating this disconnect between where you want to be, which is typically always in the future, optimistic, positive, very exciting. Where I am today. The difference between the two, right? Expectation versus reality, that is pain, and that is what we want to focus on."Virtual Selling and Building Trust - Kim Orlesky: "Virtual selling takes more discipline, not less. Your process needs to be established, documented, and it has to be something that everyone has to follow. We cannot leave it up to the devices of what traditional selling did.

When you focus on finding the right people, they'll get the right product to the right people.The three pieces of the puzzle in business are customers, investors, and employees. The most critical piece to the puzzle is the employees as they are the link that will make both the customers and the investors happy. Automation and collaboration are the keys to staying efficient in a virtual environment. Determine which tasks are more appropriate for automation and which will be made more efficient through collaboration. The intuitive side of communication is held back in virtual meetings. Without seeing the body language, so much is lost in the message and the probability of being misunderstood becomes higher.  "We focus more on finding the right people and hopefully the right people will get the right product to the right customer." —  Hadi Radwan See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I  Connect with Hadi Radwan:  Website: https://www.asteya.world/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadiradwan/ Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

UMass Memorial Health Webinar page Presented by Cliona Archambeault and Penny Iannelli of UMass Memorial Health Join us for a panel discussion with two leaders from UMass Memorial Health (UMMH) as we discuss how they've created a culture of continuous improvement at UMMH that has led to more than 100,000 employee ideas being implemented! They both work for a healthcare organization – this is true – but please keep reading (and join us!) if you work in other sectors, including manufacturing. Why? Our two panelists both worked in industry (including Intel), and they (and other UMMH leaders) are influenced by former Toyota people. We know there will be stories and lessons learned that are transferrable to other healthcare organizations – or companies in any industry – because it comes down to the three things we always talk about at KaiNexus: methodology, leadership, and technology. We are proud that UMMH is a KaiNexus customer and that they use our technology platform to facilitate and document their work – in addition to tabulating their great results.

Dr. William Watson, Associate Professor of Learning Design and Technology, and Director of Purdue Center for Serious Games and Learning in Virtual Environments focuses his work around the idea that the system of education is antiquated and designed to meet entirely different societal needs than currently exist. Like any tweaks, educational video games are not themselves enough to solve the problems facing education today. Rather, Dr. Watson believes we need a new system of education that is focused on actual learning rather than driven by time and the comparison and sorting of learners, a personalized approach to learning.
