Send us a textIn this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we sit down with Evan Siegel, Vice President of AI at eGain, where he leads the development of next-generation AI-powered conversational guidance. With a rich background that includes 16 years at Wells Fargo leading customer experience and contact center innovation, Evan brings deep insight into how technology can drive better service outcomes without losing the human touch.Evan's career journey began in entrepreneurship — running a successful residential painting business that grew to 300 employees before he sold it and pursued an MBA at Stanford. His experience at Wells Fargo honed his expertise in solving large-scale customer pain points and improving first-contact resolution in massive contact centers. Those experiences led him to eGain, a company dedicated to providing “the right answer to the right person at the right time, in the right channel.”Evan explains that eGain's AI-powered knowledge management platform helps companies clean, update, and centralize information so agents can quickly find accurate answers. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also transforms efficiency—some clients have seen up to 37% improvement in first-contact resolution, a 30-point rise in Net Promoter Score, and 50% reduction in training time. For instance, eGain supports the U.S. Veterans Administration, the country's largest healthcare provider, to deliver consistent, fast, and empathetic service across millions of interactions.A key theme in the discussion is balancing technology and empathy. Evan emphasizes that AI doesn't replace human connection—it enhances it by freeing up employees' mental space to focus on emotional intelligence and rapport-building. By handling the “how” of issue resolution, AI lets people focus on the “who.”He also shares how eGain builds knowledge bases for each company by analyzing customer inquiries, extracting top issues using AI, and rewriting existing materials to align with best practices for clarity and accessibility. This process—once lengthy and manual—can now be done in days or weeks.When asked about tools he can't live without, Evan points to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, which he uses daily as brainstorming and writing partners. His motto: “AI won't replace me, but someone who knows how to use AI better than me will.”Evan also discusses two books that shaped him: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, which taught him the power of genuine curiosity in relationships, and William Manchester's three-part biography of Winston Churchill, which inspired lessons in conviction, communication, and strategic thinking.Today, what excites Evan most is collaborative leadership—bringing teams together to brainstorm, check egos at the door, and make the best collective decisions. His guiding philosophy: “I don't need to be the smartest person in the room. I need to make the best decision coming out of the room.”He closes with another favorite quote: “You miss every shot you don't take.” For Evan, this embodies the spirit of innovation at eGain—experiment fast, learn fast, and keep improving.Listeners can connect with Evan on LinkedIn or email him at esiegel@egain.com to learn more about eGain's new AI self-service agent for small businesses, featuring reasoning capabilities, a free trial, and no-contract flexibility.Follow us on X @navigatingcx, and join our Navigating the Customer Experience Facebook community for more insights and resources.

It's a big week for bank earnings. JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup reported quarterly results on Tuesday; Bank of America and Morgan Stanley report on Wednesday. Overall, banks are pulling in plenty of revenue — especially from their investment banking and trading departments. But the old-fashioned business of lending out money has been more of a mixed bag. We'll unpack. Also on the show: a major cryptocurrency scam and the economics of Broadway contract negotiations.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Telis Demos is joined by Miriam Gottfried to tackle gold's continued rally. They discuss the debate over whether its surge is a bet against the U.S. dollar or simply "catastrophe insurance" against a faltering AI-led stock market. Plus, with the U.S. government shutdown delaying key economic reports, investors are turning to Bank of America, Carlyle Group and likely this week's bank earnings for clues on the economy's health. After the break, Telis is joined by Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors, and they get into this week's coming earnings from JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and more. Whalen explains why real trouble is brewing for banks in commercial real estate and private equity. And he shares what indicators he is looking out for in their earnings this coming week.

Welcome to episode 32 of Offshoot. My guest today is Tony Yousif, Executive Managing Director of SVN, where he's built a nationwide advisory and brokerage platform helping banks, receivers, and institutional capital allocators of all varieties navigate their most complex real estate situations.Born to Iraqi immigrants who fled to America and lived on welfare and Section 8 housing in the city of Chicago, Tony found himself working at a convenience store and borrowing a third of his now-wife's accounting salary just to survive. For 2.5 years he pulled 100-hour weeks before making his first $25,000 commission check. That grit was the foundation for building one of the most trusted names in distressed real estate.But, the genius here isn't just the grind, it's the deep investment Tony has made to relationship-building. He doesn't see himself as a broker; rather the "conductor of the orchestra" sitting between the lenders and local market experts, helping move distressed deals along to their highest and best use. Since 2008, he's helped the likes of Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Colony Capital, and Oaktree navigate their troubled assets. Last year alone, his team valued over 1,500 properties and managed 92 different assets across the country. The best part of this is that Tony hasn't asked for a piece of business in over 10 years and he's not likely someone you've heard a lot about. All of this comes from relationships.Tony's a farmer rather than a hunter in the world of real estate. While most brokers eat what they kill, moving from one deal to the next, Tony plants seeds, nurtures relationships, and harvests when the fruit is ripe. The proof of his success comes in the liberty he has to fire clients – walking away from $80,000 a month because one relationship wasn't mutually respectful. That takes serious cojones and is a luxury of only the successful.Listen into (and behind) what's said as we cover topics that include:How respect for his parents' vision and commitment served as a core motivationThe difference between being a relationship broker versus a transaction broker – and why one builds a business while the other may just pay billsWhy grading your clients and firing the toxic ones can free time for the relationships that matterThe wisdom in allocating time to create harmony across competing interestsThe benefits of striving to live as if you're about to dieThe Sabalers effect - how treating people right means they take you with them to their next employer and give you another clientThe art of saying no to opportunities and instead referring them to competitors without asking for a fee (and how that built his reputation)Why "a rolling loan takes no loss" and how banks' extending and pretending looked genius through the last crisisThe nightly practice with his kids that names three things they're each grateful forThe three circles of life (business, friends/family, self) and why deathbed advice about finding harmony, not balance, changed Tony's perspectiveTony's journey from welfare recipient to trusted advisor for institutions managing billions in distressed assets is a masterclass in patience, perseverance, and the compound value of genuine relationships. I hope you enjoy it.
Welcome to a special author's episode of The Data Chief, where we delve into the minds of three influential authors who are shaping the conversation around data and AI. First, Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader, shares his philosophy of prioritizing strategy over technology to make faster, smarter decisions. Next, Wendy Batchelder, author of The Data Governance Handbook, discusses how to transform governance from a rigid bureaucracy into a business accelerator by focusing on business outcomes. Finally, Malcolm Hawker, author of The Data Hero Playbook, challenges data leaders to adopt a heroic mindset by becoming customer-driven and aligning their incentives with business success. Join us to learn how to lead effectively in the AI era by building a strategy-driven, governed, and customer-centric data function.The Data Chief Podcast: Author Episode Key MomentsGeoff Woods: The AI-Driven LeaderFrom "IT Problem" to Strategic Partner (06:20): Woods advocates for viewing AI as a "strategic thought partner" rather than an assistant or replacement, and emphasizes that AI strategy must align with business strategy.The CRIT Framework for Smarter Prompts (12:25): He introduces the CRIT framework for prompt engineering: Context, Role, Interview, Task. This method helps leaders get non-obvious, high-impact strategies from AI by having the AI ask the right questions.Beyond the Bottom Line: AI's Human Impact (22:17): Woods discusses the ROI of AI, including a case where AI identified savings equivalent to 2% of a company's revenue. Wendy Batchelder: The Data Governance HandbookData Governance as an Accelerator (32:33): Wendy Batchelder addresses the myth that data governance is a "dirty word" or a code for "no," arguing that its true purpose is to be an accelerator.Speaking the Language of Business (35:17): Batchelder emphasizes that data governance should be embedded from the start of a project, not as an afterthought. She provides an example of "bad" vs. "good" communication, urging data professionals to speak the language of the business.Measuring Value with Business Outcomes (40:00): She outlines how to measure the value of data governance by connecting it to business outcomes like increased revenue or improved customer service. Malcolm Hawker: The Data Hero PlaybookFrom Limiting Mindset to Growth Mindset (56:00): Hawker discusses why he wrote the book, calling the current moment a "do or die" opportunity for CDOs. He challenges the "limiting mindset" that leads to defeatism.Customer-Driven, Not Data-Driven (1:08:00): He urges data leaders to be "customer-driven, not data-driven," emphasizing the need for data teams to become more business literate.The Power of Product Management (1:14:00): Hawker advocates for bringing product management disciplines into data teams. This approach focuses on putting the customer at the center and ensures that data products are economically viable and tied to ROI.Key Quotes:"It is not technology first, strategy second. It is strategy first, technology second.” - Geoff Woods"The companies that are treating data as something that helps drive business outcomes are thinking about data at the beginning and set up at the end." - Wendy Batchelder“If you deliver value to your customers, if you are the lever of change and transformation in your organization, if you show value from data, you will get a seat at the table." - Malcolm HawkerMentionsThe AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, SmarterHow AI is transforming strategy developmentData Governance Handbook: A practical approach to building trust in data5 key reasons why data analytics is important to businessThe Data Hero Playbook: Developing Your Data Leadership SuperpowersCDOs and CDAOs: Rethink your role or fade awayGuest Bios:About Geoff Woods Geoff Woods is the #1 bestselling author of The AI-Driven Leader, host of the AI-Driven Leader podcast, and Founder of AI Leadership and The AI-Driven Leadership Collective™, a highly vetted network of executives collaborating to harness AI to build better businesses and better lives.

We've got some huge international strikes and check-ins on some long running campaigns this week. We start with headlines from Iowa hospitals, Cornell University, Incheon International Airport, New Zealand primary schools, Doordash, and Amazon. Our first main story we discuss a Labor Notes piece updating us on the ongoing effort to organize one of the country's biggest banks, Wells Fargo. After the illegal seizure of the Global Sumud Flotilla, Italian workers made good on their threats to launch a massive general strike. Workers at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have been on strike for over 2 years, we discuss what's keeping them going after all this time and the importance of their struggle to a dire media landscape. Finally, a piece in the American Prospect from Sarah Lazare demonstrates clearly how the attacks on immigrants are attacks on all of us, and why the time is now for a unified fightback by organized labor.

Have you noticed the widening gap between how we expect leaders to behave in the public sphere versus in corporate organizations?In episode 283, Ramona Shaw tackles two timely and important questions: What is happening to leadership and how do we keep our standards intact?From headlines of public leaders dodging accountability to viral social media figures equating leadership with dominance, we're seeing a shift in what some people perceive as “strong leadership.” But in our companies, those signals don't fly. And they shouldn't.Inside this episode, we unpack:Why public and corporate leadership are governed by two different sets of standardsThe seven shared expectations we have of leadersWhat happens when we don't, with real-world cautionary tales from WeWork, Wells Fargo, and KrogerWhy leaders today need to be more explicit than ever about the values they uphold and the behavior they expectWhen organizational standards get fuzzy, cracks form; slowly at first, then suddenly. Misalignment, disengagement, and broken trust are often symptoms of leaders failing to walk the talk. This episode unpacks what's at stake and why now is the time to reestablish what good leadership looks like before external norms start seeping in.
In this episode, Lex speaks Mike Sha - the CEO and co-founder of Tandems (formerly SigFig), a leading provider of AI-powered software for wealth management firms and financial institutions. Together, Lex and Mike discuss the evolution of wealth technology through the lens of Mike's entrepreneurial journey from founding Wikinvest in 2006 to building Tandems. Wikinvest pivoted to portfolio tracking and then to a B2B model, powering major portals like Yahoo Finance and managing over $500 billion in tracked assets. The team's insights into poor retail investment behavior led to building SigFig, a B2B robo-advisor, eventually serving banks like UBS and Wells Fargo.Today, rebranded as Tandems, the firm offers AI-powered tools for advisors across three key areas: meetings, asset gathering, and investment management, with AI integrated via a modular “wealth OS” platform. Tandems uses an open architecture for AI, prioritizing trust, configurability, and high accuracy tailored to the specific workflows of financial advisors. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:The Realization That Most Investors Struggle on Their Own Sparked the Robo-Advisory Movement - Mike Sha's early data from tracking $400–500 billion in retail portfolios across Yahoo!, CNN, and other finance portals revealed that most individuals consistently underperform when managing their own investments. This insight directly led to the creation of SigFig, one of the first robo-advisors, designed to make high-quality investment advice affordable and automated. It shows how data-driven observation of user behavior can uncover market inefficiencies and spark new product categories.Distribution and Integration Trumps Pure Innovation in Fintech Partnerships - Tandem's evolution from a consumer-facing platform to a B2B software provider for major banks underscored a critical lesson: distribution and trust are the hardest parts of scaling in financial services. Rather than trying to replace institutions, Sha's team embedded within them - learning that success requires deep integration with legacy systems and respect for the bank's compliance and operational frameworks. The “secret” to working with large financial institutions, Sha notes, is understanding their old infrastructure and designing around it - not fighting it.AI's Real Impact in Wealth Management Will Begin with Eliminating Repetitive Work - Tandem's current strategy focuses on AI automation for financial advisors, not as a replacement but as an assistant. Sha highlights that over 90% of an advisor's day involves repetitive administrative work - meeting prep, paperwork, compliance, follow-ups. Tandem's “Wealth OS” connects legacy systems and uses AI to automate these tasks first, freeing advisors to focus on human relationship-building and advice. It's a practical and near-term vision of AI in finance: efficiency before intelligence.

The Wall Street Journal has uncovered that Epstein maintained accounts with more than 20 banks even in the years leading up to his 2019 death—among them, Wells Fargo, TD Bank, and FirstBank Puerto Rico. The documents show Epstein moved at least $60 million into Honeycomb Partners, received $13.5 million from a hedge fund tied to Paul Tudor Jones, and sold $15 million in private company shares to a crypto investor, among other large transactions. Although major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank say they cut ties (JPMorgan in 2013; Deutsche Bank in 2018), the Journal's reporting suggests their associations with Epstein ran deeper than previously disclosed.Beyond banks, the reporting points to a broader financial network: hedge funds, private equity, venture capital firms, and prominent individuals who moved money to or from Epstein‐controlled entities. Previously unknown payments also emerged: $1 million to Joi Ito, $85,000 to Alan Dershowitz, $250,000 to Terje Rod-Larsen, and reimbursements to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers (about $1,232.25). In response, legislators are now pushing for hearings—ten Democratic senators recently urged JPMorgan executives and others to testify under oath about their knowledge of Epstein and any “ignored warnings.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The Wall Street Firms That Kept Ties With Jeffrey Epstein Until the End

On Wednesday, representatives from several large Minnesota companies will gather in Minneapolis to learn about neurodivergence, an umbrella term for a variety of ways someone's brain may work differently from what's considered typical. Neurodivergence includes conditions such as ADHD, autism and dyslexia. The disability advocacy group PACER Center is hosting Wednesday's workshop, which is led by Wells Fargo and the University of Connecticut. The idea is to design hiring and workplace practices to include neurodivergent employees. PACER Center executive director Tonia Teasley joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the workshop.
Episode SummaryIn this compelling conversation, Sam Sivarajan sits down with Guido Palazzo, a Professor of Business Ethics, to unpack the complex world of ethical decision-making in organizations. Together, they examine how well-intentioned people can make harmful decisions under pressure, the profound impact of corporate culture on ethical behavior, and why context often matters more than personal values when it comes to moral choices.Professor Palazzo draws on real-world scandals, including the infamous Wells Fargo account fraud case, to illustrate how organizational pressures can create "ethical blindness" that leads good people astray.

We dish about all your favorite corporate disasters: Theranos, Wells Fargo, and France Telecom. Guido explains how fear and impossible targets are basically Fraud Fertilizer™.My favorite part? Learning that having a career "Plan B" is your best defense against being pressured into sketchy accounting, and that reading novels builds more ethical muscles than those cheesy HR training videos.

IN THIS EPISODE: In this episode, our host Denise Silber sits down with Shannon Lundgren — HBS MBA, entrepreneur, and founder of Shannon's Circle — to explore what it means to build a business in one of the most personal industries: love. Shannon's path didn't follow the usual arc. After the Business School and a pivotal chapter working directly for Warren Buffett — where what impressed her most was his extraordinary kindness, and how he brought out the best in everyone by talking about their best qualities — Shannons Lundgren transitioned from corporate strategy to executive recruiting, a field where understanding the whole person, through emotional intelligence, is essential. That same approach now drives her work in high-end matchmaking, where success is all about the fit Shannon shares how she built her client base with intention, why she only takes on clients she believes she can help, and what entrepreneurs can learn from guiding people through high-stakes first impressions. So why listen? To be inspired by an exceptional entrepreneur — and because, let's face it, you're curious about how modern matchmaking really works. Whether you're building a business or looking for meaningful connections, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what it takes to create lasting matches between people. GUEST BIO: Shannon Lundgren, a Harvard Business School alumna, is the CEO of Shannon's Circle, where she brings 12 years of elite matchmaking experience to helping intellectually curious and kind singles find the love of their life.As a corporate executive turned matchmaker, she applies her executive recruiting skills to serve clients in California and the West Coast. Shannon is a recognized expert on modern love, featured in The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Forbes, Harvard Magazine, Business Insider, and Today. Before launching her matchmaking career, she was a Senior Vice President at Wells Fargo and a Strategic Marketing Consultant at Berkshire Hathaway. She serves on the board of the Harvard Business School Club of Northern California and is a respected partner of The Family Office Exchange (FOX), where she speaks about wealth being much more than net worth. Shannon also holds a B.A. in business from UC Berkeley. She resides in San Francisco with her husband of 18 years and their teenage daughter.

Introducing “The Four Heavies" - manipulation, intimidation, coercion, and deceit - in today's episode, McKay demonstrates the detrimental impact they can have on individuals and organizations. He argues that while these tactics may yield short-term results, they create unhealthy patterns in mental and emotional development, ultimately undermining trust and growth.McKay illustrates these effects with personal stories: Anna's anxiety from manipulation, Marcus's isolation from intimidation, and Lena's trust issues from deceit. He extends this to corporate failures like Enron and Wells Fargo, showing how "The Heavies" disrupt brain development and foster toxic cultures. Our host then offers actionable alternatives: focusing on potential, modeling calmness, and cultivating empathy. Join him today to transform your parenting and leadership for lasting success.Main Themes:"The Four Heavies" (manipulation, intimidation, coercion, deceit) are detrimental to individual development and organizational culture.Childhood experiences of "The Four Heavies" profoundly impact brain development, emotional regulation, and future relationships.Organizational cultures can mirror individual parenting styles, leading to systemic problems when built on "The Four Heavies."Focusing on the potential of others fosters growth and healthy relationships.Modeling calm, desired behavior creates a safe environment for emotional processing and learning.Empathy is a powerful tool for connection and leadership, leading to trust and attraction.Positivity correlates with success, even more than aptitude.Avoiding "The Four Heavies" leads to more effective leadership, greater satisfaction, and positive impact.Self-compassion is important as we strive for improvement.Top 10 Quotes:"The long-term effect of using ‘The Four Heavies' is extremely unhealthy.""Underneath the surface, we all have a richer, more valuable person.""When we see this potential, it's natural to lead genuinely and authentically.""Coercion uses fear or punishment to force behavior.""When individuals feel manipulated or unsafe, they seek healthier environments.""Being calm invites reasoning and thinking.""Positivity heavily correlates to predicting a person's success, even if they lacked aptitude."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with Brad Johnson to discuss the realities of mobile home park investing. Brad shares how he first tried managing parks from 2,000 miles away, only to realize the inefficiencies of remote operations. Today, he focuses on providing capital to local operators with the infrastructure and systems needed to manage these communities effectively. Mobile home parks are an operationally intensive asset class, essentially functioning like small cities for 100+ families. Success requires strong teams, reliable rent collection, and well-built systems to manage expenses and infrastructure. Brad emphasizes the importance of investing with experienced operators who understand how to grow NOI and sustain communities—rather than newcomers chasing an idea without a plan.

My guest is Michael Snyder, PhD, professor of genetics at Stanford and an expert in understanding why people respond differently to various foods, supplements, behavioral and prescription interventions. We discuss how to optimize your health and lifespan according to what type of glucose responder you are, which genes you express, your lifestyle and other factors. Dr. Snyder also explains the key ages when you need to be particularly mindful about following certain health practices. We also discuss how people respond in opposite ways to different fiber types. This episode ought to be of interest and use to anyone seeking to understand their unique biological needs and how to go about meeting those needs.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Michael Kilgard, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Texas at Dallas and a leading expert on neuroplasticity and learning across the lifespan. We discuss the need for alertness, effortful focus, post-learning reflection and sleep to induce neuroplasticity, and how dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin and norepinephrine are each involved. He explains the behavioral steps for neuroplasticity, as well as vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) and other therapies for tinnitus, stroke, depression, PTSD and paralysis. This episode ought to be of use to anyone interested in understanding the modern science of brain rewiring and learning to improve cognitive or motor skills or treat sensory or motor disorders.
