Aaron and Brandon cover what the week's news means for enterprise buyers. They question whether Oracle's reported $664 billion backlog is durable demand or overlapping commitments, and Brandon argues contracted future spend is how enterprise business works. On the labs' "slow down" messaging, Brandon sees no coordination, only incentives, while Aaron finds the timing too coincidental. Salesforce's Nemotron-based model points to enterprises customizing open models instead of building their own, and Brandon doubts labs will displace systems of record like Workday or SAP. Aaron argues agent pricing has reverted to familiar free, bundled, and negotiated tiers. He sees agent swarms as research capability that most enterprises lack the trust and human-in-the-loop controls to run.SHOW SPONSORS:Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoNordLayer - Use ENTERPRISE10 for 10% off.SHOW: 1064SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1064 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/hrfTovN3kMwSHOW LINKS:https://theenterpriseaishow.com/FEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comBluesky: @TheEntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow

Delegating feels impossible when you run a school alone — until you turn what's stuck in your head into a playbook someone else can run. Delegation is the hardest skill for a principal running a school without an assistant principal — every checklist, process, and judgment call lives in one head, and that head is exhausted. Kati Cahill, Head of School at Humanex Academy, a small private school for neurodivergent students south of Denver, walks through how she's been using an AI thought partner to pull her admissions process and scheduling system out of her head and into playbooks her team can actually run. She also breaks down how the same backward-planning conversation turned her 90-day entry plan into four owned workstreams — communication, academics, culture, and operations — instead of a document that sits in a folder, and how she built a reusable "wins" template that turns a year of staff stories into an instant morale boost when energy dips. This one's a real look at what sustainable school leadership looks like when you're the entire admin team. ⌚️ Episode Timestamps 00:00 - Turning the systems in your head into playbooks 04:13 - Leading a school with no assistant principal 07:05 - A solo retreat that led to staying 13:36 - Inside the Mastermind hot seat and book study 21:16 - Using Digital Danny to stop overthinking 24:08 - Building a 90-day entry plan by department 33:38 - Turning staff wins into a shareable template 37:03 - Defining one belief to repeat all year 42:34 - Why Digital Danny stays open as a tab 48:00 - The takeaway on making the job sustainable

Kyle Vowinkel is a decorated former FBI senior executive, West Point graduate, keynote speaker, and author of the forthcoming book Shaping Chaos. During more than 24 years with the FBI, Kyle served on both the FBI Hostage Rescue Team and Crisis Negotiation Unit, making him one of only five agents to serve on both. He has negotiated with kidnappers, pirates, and terrorists and deployed alongside U.S. Special Operations Forces. Today, he helps leaders assess risk, make better decisions under uncertainty, influence others, and act decisively when the stakes are high. On this episode we talk about: Why Kyle decided to serve his country and ultimately pursue a career with the FBI How earning money from a paper route at 11 taught him the value of saving and investing early The financial lessons Kyle learned from his father and through government service How Kyle built nearly 32 years of government service and incorporated his military time into his federal retirement Launching his business, Inner Perimeter, after retiring from the FBI How professional connections helped create opportunities for Kyle after leaving the FBI Why nurturing relationships over the long term is one of the most valuable things you can do for your career The radically different approaches Kyle learned from serving on both the Hostage Rescue Team and Crisis Negotiation Unit How lessons from high-stakes FBI operations translate directly into sales, leadership, and entrepreneurship The four-step “path to influence”: framing, empathy, rapport, and giving people choices How Kyle used genuine connection and empathy during the Boston Marathon bombing manhunt Why “control can extract compliance, but choice creates commitment” How giving people agency can make them more committed to a decision Why empathy doesn't require agreeing with someone The importance of seeing a situation from another person's perspective before trying to influence them What entrepreneurs and leaders can learn from crisis-response decision-making Why leaders should establish decision-making triggers before a crisis happens How businesses can prepare for uncertainty by planning for best-case, most likely, and worst-case scenarios Kyle's forthcoming book, Shaping Chaos, and the lessons he drew from his FBI career Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Make the hard decisions before the pressure hits.Kyle explains that emotions tend to rise while rational thinking declines as a crisis intensifies. One way to counter that is to establish decision-making triggers in advance. Whether you're responding to a kidnapping or preparing a business for a major market event, knowing ahead of time what circumstances will trigger specific actions can help teams respond decisively rather than emotionally. 2. Influence starts with understanding, not coercion.Kyle's experience as a crisis negotiator taught him that people are more receptive when they feel seen, valued, and heard. Framing the conversation from the other person's perspective, demonstrating empathy, building genuine rapport, and giving people choices can create a much stronger path to influence than simply trying to force compliance. 3. Relationships remain a competitive advantage.Kyle emphasizes that professional relationships need to be nurtured over time rather than activated only when you need something. Checking in, helping others, and building genuine connections creates a network that can support you throughout different seasons of your career. As Kyle puts it, AI may change how we work, but it can't replace the one-on-one relationships that help people succeed. Notable Quotes: “I've been working since I'm eleven.” “You can let chaos shape you, or you can try to shape the chaos.” “Control can extract compliance, but choice creates commitment.” “When people feel that they are seen, valued, and heard, that's the kind of three trifecta.” “Empathy is not judgment.” “You don't just want them to go along because they have to go along. You want them choosing to.” “You make the hard decisions in advance.” Connect with Kyle Vowinkel: Website: https://www.kylevowinkel.com/ Book: Shaping Chaos, available for pre-order ahead of its November release A Word from Our Sponsors:- The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

A former Anthropic employee claimed AI would lead to the end of humanity, and soon. In the weeks since, the “whistleblower” has done a full press tour, with even Anthropic and OpenAI themselves seeming to cosign this claim. As a result, hysteria has ensued—and that's exactly what these AI companies want. On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Better Offline host and #1 AI Hater Ed Zitron to debunk the doomsdayers, and explain why, exactly, these companies are so interested in the end of the world. This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brent Stewart spent 20 hours a week for four months testing AI, and says refusing to use it is the real liability.Brent Stewart has practiced law for 30 years in Rock Hill, South Carolina, fighting insurance companies as a trial lawyer. He also owns the office buildings his own firm rents. Over the last four months he set aside 20 hours a week to work through every legal AI system he could find, and he came out of it with a position most people do not expect from an attorney: the people refusing to learn these tools are the ones creating exposure, for their clients and for their employer.This conversation gets into what he actually built, what it cost him, and what he got wrong first. He walks through why his AI is walled off from the open internet, the vendor contract structure he now insists on, and the mistake that cost him thousands of dollars before it taught him anything useful.On the real estate side, Brent bought his office buildings through a separate entity that rents to the law firm, then restructured ownership so his wife qualifies as active manager. That change let him run the losses against his law firm income instead of depreciating remodels slowly over time.What you will learn:Why he keeps his AI in-house and never lets it pull case law off the open internetThe AI vendor contract he recommends: lock the price for three years, keep a one-year outHow a 10 percent ownership change and active manager status unlocked accelerated depreciationWhy he tells his AI to argue with him instead of agreeing with himHow he can now spot which opposing counsel are using AI, just from how fast discovery comes backAbout the guest: Brent Stewart is the founder of Stewart Law Offices, a personal injury and workers' compensation firm he started in 1995 after running a market study to pick his location. He graduated law school in 1989 and still keeps every deadline in a paper calendar.Links:

Higgsfield says it open-sourced its 5.4 billion dollar app. It's fake. We went into the GitHub and all you get is a thin UI that calls their paid API. No weights, no training, no way to build anything without paying them. We break down what they actually released and how creator networks make a launch like this look organic. Then a miracle: Neuralink restored speech for a man who lost it to ALS, and we show him talking to his wife by thought alone. And Figure's Helix 2.5 sends robots into 30 homes they have never seen to make beds and fold laundry, impressive, slow, and it raises the question of who pays when one throws out your jewellery.Try Autodesk Flow Studio:http://flowstudio.comSources:1.

AI is changing sales fast. But is it actually replacing salespeople, or is it exposing the sellers who never developed real strategy skills? That's the question I explore in this conversation with John Stopper.John and I get into the difference between sales tactics and sales strategy, why AI can sometimes give sellers the wrong picture of a buyer, and why getting closer to the people involved in a deal can make the difference between winning and losing. We also talk about how sales teams can use AI to identify deal risks instead of simply using it to write more emails.Why AI Makes Sales Strategy More ImportantAI can teach people sales tactics, but strategy requires a deeper understanding of the situation.Tactics focus on how to sell, while strategy focuses on who, what, when, where, and why.AI can help sellers execute many tactical tasks, but sellers still need to decide which approach fits the buyer and the situation.Strong sales strategy starts with understanding customers and what will actually compel them to buy.The goal is to choose the right strategy based on the conditions of the deal.Tactics vs. Strategy: The Baseball Analogy — 03:38Knowing how to throw every pitch does not mean you know which pitch to throw.A baseball pitcher may have four or five pitches available.The right pitch depends on the batter, pitch count, runners on base, and inning.Sales works the same way. The skill is not just knowing the sales playbook but knowing which strategy to use in the moment.Choosing the right strategy can improve your position, accelerate velocity, and compress time.The Principle of Reality: Don't Trust Every AI Answer AI can give both buyers and sellers information that does not accurately reflect the current situation.Buyers can use AI to research a salesperson or company before the first conversation.Sellers can also build their account research around outdated or incomplete information.A polished AI summary can create false confidence if it does not reflect what is actually happening.Sellers should verify their assumptions instead of treating AI research as unquestionable fact.How to Surface Reality With Better Questions The first sales conversation is an opportunity to check whether both sides are working from the right information.Ask the buyer what their AI research has shown them about your company, product, or you.Share what your research has shown you about their company and ask whether you have it right.Use the conversation to identify what is missing from your research.Verify the situation before choosing your sales strategy.Different Buyers Require Different StrategiesThe right message depends on the person you are selling to.End users often care about doing their jobs faster, better, or cheaper.Managers may care more about how a solution affects their team and the risks involved.Executives are more likely to focus on strategic growth and business outcomes.Sellers need to understand the buyer's role before deciding what value to emphasize.The Principle of Proximity: Get Closer to the Buyer “Proximity sells” because sellers need to understand the buyer's world deeply enough to bring useful insight.Proximity is not about becoming the buyer's friend.It means understanding the buyer's business and seeing things from both inside and outside perspectives.Sellers should get close to the people who can influence the deal, not only the person who can approve it.Outside experience can help sellers bring insights the buyer may not have considered.Find the People Who Can Say No A deal can have strong champions and still fail because someone else inside the organization has the power to stop it.Identify the people who may resist the purchase.Ask your champion who in the organization could have concerns about the solution.Reach out to those people directly instead of waiting for their objections to appear later.Address potential resistance before it becomes a deal-ending problem.Use AI to Identify Deal Risk AI can be useful when it helps sellers think through what could go wrong.Ask AI to research the people and roles that may resist a purchase.Identify possible objections and resistance points before they appear.Continue updating the research as the deal progresses because new risks can emerge.Use AI to help build a deal strategy around what could prevent the deal from closing.Bridging Strategy: Build Relationships Across the Account One salesperson should not have to carry every relationship in a complex B2B deal.Sales managers can connect with the buyer's manager.Product leaders can connect with the buyer's technical leaders.CEOs can connect with other executives when the situation calls for it.Each person can carry a message that matches their role and expertise.Multiple relationships can help both companies become more familiar with each other.Why Executives Still Have a Role in Selling Executive involvement can be part of the sales process, especially when selling complex solutions.Executives have revenue responsibilities too.A salesperson can prepare an executive with the person's profile, the situation, the message to communicate, and the information to bring back.AI can take more operational work off the team's plate.That creates more room for leaders to spend time with customers and support revenue-generating conversations.Salespeople Need to Become Strategists As AI makes more sales information and tactics available, the ability to create useful insight becomes more important.AI has reduced the advantage that once came from simply knowing sales tactics.Sellers need to know how to use information, not just access it.The goal is to tell buyers something they do not already know.Strategy determines what insight to deliver, when to deliver it, and who should deliver it.Human-to-Human Selling Still Matters AI and digital tools should not replace direct conversations with buyers.At minimum, sellers should use video calls when meeting in person is not possible.Direct conversations can help uncover what digital research misses.Meeting a buyer in person can build trust and show a willingness to make an effort.Sales still depends on human relationships, especially when decisions are complex.Key Quote from the Episode“AI has commoditized a lot of that advantage. So now to me, selling and strategy is about how can I tell them something they don't know?” — John StopperResources:John Stopper: johnstopper.comJohn's website also offers a free, no-obligation deal strategy report.

September 18, 2026: I look at the viral LinkedIn profile of Home Depot executive Anne Marie Campbell and why her rise from cashier to senior executive says something important about effort, loyalty, and firm-specific knowledge. Then I get into the Wall Street Journal's warning that the purge of middle managers could backfire as companies underestimate coaching, sponsorship, and tacit knowledge. I also unpack how researchers used Anthropic's Claude to break into OpenAI through a bug bounty program. Finally, I break down OpenAI's recent "misalignment" example involving compaction summaries and why some of these scary AI moments may be glitches, not signs of sentience.

Robert and Austin address AI safety concerns, the Fed's rate hikes, and Airbnb's $250M affordable housing fund. ---

I start this episode by diving into the world of Artificial Intelligence, discussing everything from AI doom to the push for global governance. I explore the potential for corruption and how current models are being regulated. It is a deep look at how these technologies might shape our future and the political landscape.Then, I get into the serious issues surrounding fentanyl and Ibogaine, including a recent Joe Rogan episode with Andrew Huberman. I share my personal experiences with laced pills and the life-saving potential of Ibogaine treatment. Finally, I discuss the devastating impact of fentanyl and the urgent need for stricter penalties for dealers.I also touch on Donald Trump, the Lindsey Clancy case, Sydney Sweeney, Aaron Rodgers, the recent Macklemore "Free Palestine" controversy, and so much more.

Anthropic's Dario wrote a long essay calling for the AI race to slow down, weeks before a multi-trillion dollar IPO. Dave's read: Anthropic must be losing.

Welcome to the Charismatic Leader Podcast. In this episode, Brett McDermott explores why the most magnetic person in the room isn't always the loudest—it's often the calmest. Charisma isn't about big energy or big personality; it's about presence. And presence is a skill you can train. Brett reveals how meditation builds charisma by lowering reactivity, regulating your nervous system, and making you a better listener.He explains why audiences read your nervous system more than your words, how meditation creates a gap between stimulus and response, and why true charisma is about making others feel interesting. Brett also shares a practical plan: ten minutes a day, habit stacking for consistency, and a one‑minute breathing reset before big presentations.This episode is packed with actionable insights for leaders, salespeople, and anyone who wants to cultivate quiet confidence that earns trust and influence.Key Takeaways:Charisma isn't about output—it's about presenceMeditation lowers reactivity and builds composure under pressureA regulated nervous system reads as confidence to any audienceCharisma is about making others feel interesting, not just being interestingPractical plan: 10 minutes daily, habit stacking, one‑minute breathing resetPresence is the one thing AI can't fake and hustle can't buy

Dr. Wednaud Ronelus, Chief Metaverse Scientist at Alchemist Club Studios and AI Ambassador for the AFT/UFT, rejoins Jerri and Jamie to explore the “cognitive offload crisis,” why keeping students away from AI can do more harm than good, and how educators can redesign curriculum so AI becomes a scaffold instead of a shortcut.Drawing on examples from elementary electromagnetism lessons to a district-wide AI ambassador program in the Bronx, Dr. Ronelus gets practical about responsible AI use. He also examines equity, New York City's specialized high school admissions crisis, and what it will take for teachers to step confidently into an AI-driven world.---ABOUT OUR GUESTDr. Wednaud J.

Former Gartner VP Analyst and principal at SanjMo, Sanjeev Mohan, joins me to break down the reality of AI adoption, data foundations, and why enterprises are hitting roadblocks with agents and LLMs. From comparing the current AI boom to the dot-com era to unpacking his new concept, ECL (Extract, Context, Link), Sanjeev explains why moving data around is no longer viable and why "there is no AI stack, only one stack." We also dive into capability overhang, artificial guardrails, the race to standardize semantic context, and why writing books and understanding core primitives still matter in the age of generative models

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* The billable hour was introduced by the insurance industry in the late 1960s and early 1970s, replacing the value-based and flat fee model lawyers had used for over a thousand years, and it created perverse incentives that harm lawyers, clients, and the profession.* RJon Robins' company, How to Manage a Small Law Firm, provides fractional C-suite services to over 500 small law firms on a subscription retainer basis, generating roughly $3.5 million per month in recurring revenue and proving the subscription model works at scale.* The billable hour disincentivizes efficiency, collaboration, and collegiality among lawyers by rewarding inefficiency and turning attorneys and their clients into adversaries rather than trusted counselors.* Many lawyers leave mid-size and large firms due to discrimination and start their own practices where they can build businesses on their own terms, often ditching the billable hour for value-based or subscription billing.* AI should be treated like a brilliant but inexperienced junior associate who is great for grunt work and spotting trends, but lawyers must apply their own wisdom and judgment rather than abdicating strategic and values-based decisions to AI.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Graham Coath talks to Cody from 13th Floor SoundThis week, Graham sits down with Cody, the man behind 13th Floor Sound, an independent Las Vegas record label blending vintage analogue recording with modern production, pressing everything from soulful records to psychedelic blues straight to vinyl. They swap stories about the records that changed their lives (Cream's Disraeli Gears gets a well-deserved mention), the strange love-hate relationship musicians have with social media, and why boredom might be the most underrated songwriting tool ever invented. Cody talks about growing up around his musician father's record collection, why physical vinyl still matters in an AI-flooded world, and what's coming next from the label, including a new single dropping tonight and a run of releases stretching into next year. A brilliant, freewheeling chat between two people who genuinely love music.

What really makes a team work?In this episode of Business Influencers, host Chris Salem sits down with Jason P. Carroll, founder of Aptiv Index, to explore how understanding the way people are naturally wired can influence hiring, leadership, communication, retention, and team development.Jason explains why experience and resumes alone may not reveal a person's potential. The conversation looks at strengths, motivation, values, self awareness, transferable skills, and behavioral patterns that can help leaders understand whether someone is positioned to thrive in a particular role, team, or culture.They also discuss the importance of retention, trust, transparency, behavioral questioning, and creating workplaces where people can openly ask for help and grow.As AI continues to reshape the workplace, Jason shares why organizations may need to place even greater attention on their people, engagement, motivation, and relationships.

When is the market genuinely irrational, and when have you simply failed to understand what the market understands?Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance at London Business School and author of The Madness of Markets, joins me to talk about market psychology, stories, bubbles and what behavioural finance can actually teach investors.Alex explains his research showing that stock markets tend to fall after a country is knocked out of the World Cup, even though a football result should have little effect on corporate profits. From there we ask what really counts as market “madness”, why collective beliefs can sustain the value of assets such as gold and crypto, and how markets can show both short-term momentum and longer-term reversal.We also discuss why investors still struggle to value intangibles such as culture and employee satisfaction; how share prices can change corporate decisions rather than simply reflect them; and whether professional investors are actually less biased than everyone else.Alex is candid about his own mistakes. He talks about a failed investment in a fitness start-up, the one-minute delay he put on his email outbox to counter his tendency to interpret messages negatively, and why he deliberately seeks out people and evidence that challenge what he already believes.We also cover Neil Woodford, cognitive diversity, sustainability and ESG, misinformation, AI, deep work and Alex's creative process.At the heart of the conversation is a difficult investing question: if you think the market is wrong, what evidence would convince you that it is actually you who is wrong?Contents00:00 Meet Alex Edmans00:35 When are markets really irrational?01:29 Football results and investor sentiment07:47 Stories, narratives and bubbles12:33 Momentum, reversal and behavioural finance16:17 Why markets misprice intangibles24:07 How prices change real decisions33:02 Are professional investors less biased?39:55 Alex's failed start-up investment43:03 Rethinking sustainability47:48 Overrated / Underrated56:06 Social media and AI01:00:06 Deep work and creativity01:03:36 Final adviceTranscript, links and key takeaways:www.thendobetter.com/investing/2026/9/18/alex-edmans-the-madness-of-markets-when-are-markets-really-irrational

It's New York Fashion Week and I'm sitting down with Di — AI ethicist, Alexander McQueen archivist, and someone who fit a gargantuan Comme des Garçons funnel neck dress into a carry-on packing cube.We get into: level setting AI-doom. What fashion specifically has to lose when a margin-obsessed industry discovers a technology that's very good at finding efficiencies. Why people refusing to touch AI on principle are exactly the people whose absence is letting the worst version get built. And a genuinely lovely detour into why art and science belong in the same bucket.Di works with the Data Science Alliance in San Diego on democratizing AI knowledge and responsible AI frameworks. Check out her TedX talk on AI design with intentional friction built in--which she gave in an ever fabulous Schiaparelli pantsuit ;)

On a planet locked in a two-hundred-year winter, eleven hundred survivors depend on a deep thermal bore for heat. When instruments detect an impossible warm zone far beyond the city's thermal radius, David Corbett is sent with four others to investigate. They find preserved forests, abandoned settlements that survived far longer than official history admits, and a valley where the air itself is warm enough to breathe.But the valley is changing faster than it should. Ancient terraforming machinery is running again. Vegetation spreads by the hour. The missing colonists left no bodies, and members of the survey team begin to sleep better, hear things no one else can, and question whether they want to go home.David has spent his life serving a system that turns human beings into energy. In the valley, he finds a possible escape from that brutality, and evidence that everything his city believes about survival may be a lie. To bring the truth home, he first has to learn what the warmth is doing to the people who enter it.

Can AI actually help you make money, or are we asking the wrong question?One $75,000 commission made me look at this very differently.In this episode of The Courage To Be, I explore how AI can support business growth, opportunity spotting, decision making, and faster execution without pretending that AI is the thing creating the value.If you've been sitting on an idea, noticing the same problem repeatedly, or wondering how to use AI more practically in your work, this episode may give you a different place to start.
