In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Jane Ostler from Kantar, the world's leading marketing data and analytics company, whose clients include Google, Diageo, AB InBev, Unilever, and Kraft Heinz. Jane brings clarity to a debate often clouded by headlines, explaining why AI should be seen as a creative sparring partner, not a rival. She outlines how Kantar is helping brands balance efficiency with inspiration, and why the best marketing in the years ahead will come from humans and machines working together. We explore Kantar's research into how marketers really feel about AI adoption, uncovering why so many projects stall in pilot phase, and what steps can help teams move from experimentation to execution. Jane also discusses the importance of data quality as the foundation of effective AI, drawing comparisons to the early days of GDPR when oversight and governance first became front of mind. From Coca-Cola's AI-assisted Christmas ads to predictive analytics that help brands allocate budgets with greater confidence, Jane shares examples of where AI is already shaping marketing in ways that might surprise you. She also highlights the importance of cultural nuance in AI-driven campaigns across 90-plus markets, and why transparency, explainability, and human oversight are vital for earning consumer trust. Whether you're a CMO weighing AI strategy, a brand manager experimenting with new tools, or someone curious about how the biggest advertisers are reshaping their playbooks, this conversation with Jane Ostler offers both inspiration and practical guidance. It's about rethinking AI not as the end of creativity, but as the beginning of a new partnership between data, machines, and human imagination.

Is Practice Ownership worth the stress?  What's the most difficult thing you have to do as a practice owner?  Thinking about starting your own squat practice? How long does it really take before you see profit, and what sacrifices do you need to make along the way? In this episode, Jaz is joined by Dr. Shabnam Zai to unpack the real highs and lows of running a dental practice. From the loss of control as an associate, to the resilience needed during COVID, to the challenges of leadership and managing a team—nothing is sugar-coated here. They also tackle the big money question: when does a squat practice finally become profitable, and is it worth the grind in those first few years? If you've ever wondered whether practice ownership is for you—or why it might not be—this episode will give you the clarity (and reality check) you need. https://youtu.be/Tf1bgOWMA2A Watch PDP237 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: “DO NOT COMPARE YOUR WORK TO WHAT YOU SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA” Most cases shown online are the very best results, done under perfect conditions by clinicians with thousands of hours of experience.  Instead of letting that trigger self-doubt or imposter syndrome, use it as inspiration: respect it, aspire toward it, and occasionally achieve it — but remember that real-world dentistry is different. Key Takeaways Engagement in work is crucial for job satisfaction. Time management is essential for balancing work and family. Marketing and patient relationships are vital for practice growth. Quality time with family is more important than quantity. Coaching can help surface potential and provide accountability. Delegation is essential for effective practice management. Vulnerability can arise unexpectedly in practice ownership. Managing people requires empathy and clear communication. Being an associate can be fulfilling and offers flexibility. It's important to have projects outside of dentistry. Balancing family life with practice ownership is challenging but possible. Financial planning is crucial before starting a practice. Understanding your priorities helps in making career decisions. Documenting staff performance is key to effective management. Continuous learning and self-improvement are vital for success.

Building Business Value Through Strategic Branding: Insights from Wendy Coulter of Hummingbird Creative GroupIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviewed Wendy Coulter, President and CEO of Hummingbird Creative Group. With over three decades of expertise in branding and marketing, Wendy discussed how strategic branding can transform a business—not just in terms of sales and marketing, but across company culture, operations, and even its overall valuation. This episode is a must-listen for business leaders, marketers, and entrepreneurs looking to leverage branding for long-term success.Strategic Branding as a Business Growth EngineWendy highlights that branding is a strategic asset that impacts every part of a company, from culture to customer interactions. It's not just about a logo or a catchy slogan; branding encompasses the entire business model. It shapes internal culture, drives how employees engage with customers, and builds a reputation that attracts trust and credibility. By aligning your brand with your core values and mission, you create a business that stands out in a crowded marketplace.Wendy also points out the critical role that branding plays in company valuation. A well-established, differentiated brand can increase your company's worth by as much as 25% to 100% when the business is up for sale. Companies with strong brands are seen as more attractive to investors, and they often enjoy higher profit margins compared to their competitors. As such, branding isn't just an expense—it's an investment that pays off long-term in terms of both growth and valuation.Finally, Wendy emphasizes the importance of starting with strategy before diving into tactics. Many businesses rush into digital marketing or paid ads without a clear brand strategy, leading to wasted resources and ineffective messaging. Instead, businesses should define their unique value propositions, set clear goals, and develop a comprehensive brand strategy to guide all marketing efforts. This ensures that all campaigns and messaging are aligned with the company's business objectives, reducing wasted spend and improving effectiveness.About Wendy CoulterWendy Coulter is the President and CEO of Hummingbird Creative Group, a branding and marketing agency that helps businesses elevate their brands to drive growth. With over 30 years of experience in marketing, Wendy has worked with numerous companies to create impactful, strategic brands that resonate with their audiences and position them for long-term success.

Brian reframes wealth as “funding your purpose,” not just padding your account.Cash Flow is King Assets alone don't equal freedom. Everything should be measured against one question: “How does this affect cash flow?”The Myth of Retirement You can retire from a job—but you don't want to retire from life. Align your money with activities, goals, and impact that keep you engaged and alive.Tax Blind Spots that Burn Millions Business exits, 401Ks, and charitable giving are often mishandled.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin sits down with Greg Vetter, founder of Tessemae's, to discuss how a stolen bottle of his mom's homemade salad dressing sparked the creation of a national clean-food brand. Greg shares the realities of building a business from scratch, including cold-calling executives for insights, inventing clean manufacturing, and scaling Tessemae's to a $300–$500 million valuation—only to later face investor conflict and a complete collapse of the company. He opens up about writing his book Undressed, launching new ventures like Altaresh, Quenchers, and Tushies, and how staying grounded through family, routine, and faith helped him rebuild and support other entrepreneurs through his brand accelerator.Episode Outline:[00:00:04] Greg Vetter joins Alex Quin; summer recap and background[00:01:45] Exposure to wealth at college sparked entrepreneurial curiosity[00:04:22] Cold-calling executives to learn about success[00:05:29] Developing a sales system for tracking daily productivity[00:06:26] How a stolen bottle of dressing sparked a business idea[00:08:02] Early reactions from wife and mom to Tessemae's concept[00:09:00] First retail demo and 660 bottles sold in 5 days[00:11:35] What made Tessemae's different: clean ingredients and taste[00:12:55] Early marketing strategies: Facebook, in-store demos[00:14:12] Building a manufacturing plant from scratch[00:15:54] Business valued at $300M–$500M[00:17:27] Investor conflicts, legal battles, and business implosion[00:20:39] Launching the book Undressed after losing the company[00:23:20] Daily routines, mindset, and resilience as a dad and entrepreneur[00:26:33] New venture: Altaresh, and major partnerships with Sam's Club and Costco[00:28:59] Other businesses: Quenchers (vodka beverage), Tushies (portable toilets & wipes)[00:31:30] Brand accelerator and helping others scale their product companies[00:32:51] Legacy thoughts and personal branding symbolsWisdom Nuggets:Curiosity Fuels Success: Greg's success started with asking questions—first to wealthy teammates' parents, then to CEOs.

"If you're currently using free Ubuntu, you're getting supported Ubuntu Pro as part of your VCF license — which is amazing." – Thibaut Rouffineau, Canonical At VMware Explore 2025, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Thibaut Rouffineau, Vice President of Marketing at Canonical, about how Canonical is elevating Ubuntu into the heart of enterprise private cloud. Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu and a leader in securing open-source for enterprises, featured prominently in VMware's major announcements. The news: Ubuntu Pro is now bundled with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) licenses, instantly providing enterprise customers with long-term support, compliance, and hardened security — at no extra cost. Rouffineau explained that this recognition of Ubuntu as a first-class enterprise Linux within VCF is about much more than operating systems. Enterprises can now confidently run workloads across VMs, manage Kubernetes clusters with less disruptive upgrades, and accelerate container adoption on a secure and scalable foundation. Since the announcements, VMware Explore attendees have been eager to understand how these changes impact their modernization journey. Canonical's answer: what was once free Ubuntu now comes with enterprise-grade support, helping organizations move faster while reducing risk. For more information, visit Canonical.com.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, the big headline everyone’s been talking about in the last week or two about generative AI is a study from MIT’s Nanda project that cited the big headline: 95% of enterprise generative AI projects never make it out of pilot. A lot of the commentary clearly shows that no one has actually read the study because the study is very good. It’s a very good study that walks through what the researchers are looking at and acknowledged the substantial limitations of the study, one of which was that it had a six-month observation period. Katie, you and I have both worked in enterprise organizations and we have had and do have enterprise clients. Some people can’t even buy a coffee machine in six months, much less route a generative AI project. Christopher S. Penn – 00:49 But what I wanted to talk about today was some of the study’s findings because they directly relate to AI strategy. So if you are not an AI ready strategist, we do have a course for that. Katie Robbert – 01:05 We do. As someone, I’ve been deep in the weeds of building this AI ready strategist course, which will be available on September 2. It’s actually up for pre-sale right now. You go to trust insights AI/AI strategy course. I just finished uploading everything this morning so hopefully I used all the correct edits and not the ones with the outtakes of me threatening to murder people if I couldn’t get the video done. Christopher S. Penn – 01:38 The bonus, actually, the director’s edition. Katie Robbert – 01:45 Oh yeah, not to get too off track, but there was a couple of times I was going through, I’m like, oops, don’t want to use that video. But back to the point, so obviously I saw the headline last week as well. I think the version that I saw was positioned as “95% of AI pilot projects fail.” Period. And so of course, as someone who’s working on trying to help people overcome that, I was curious. When I opened the article and started reading, I’m like, “Oh, well, this is misleading,” because, to be more specific, it’s not that people can’t figure out how to integrate AI into their organization, which is the problem that I help solve. Katie Robbert – 02:34 It’s that people building their own in-house tools are having a hard time getting them into production versus choosing a tool off the shelf and building process around it. That’s a very different headline. And to your point, Chris, the software development life cycle really varies and depends on the product that you’re building. So in an enterprise-sized company, the likelihood of them doing something start to finish in six months when it involves software is probably zero. Christopher S. Penn – 03:09 Exactly. When you dig into the study, particularly why pilots fail, I thought this was a super useful chart because it turns out—huge surprise—the technology is mostly not the problem. One of the concerns—model quality—is a concern. The rest of these have nothing to do with technology. The rest of these are challenging: Change management, lack of executive sponsorship, poor user experience, or unwillingness to adopt new tools. When we think about this chart, what first comes to mind is the 5 Ps, and 4 out of 5 are people. Katie Robbert – 03:48 It’s true. One of the things that we built into the new AI strategy course is a 5P readiness assessment. Because your pilot, your proof of concept, your integration—whatever it is you’re doing—is going to fail if your people are not ready for it. So you first need to assess whether or not people want to do this because that’s going to be the thing that keeps this from moving forward. One of the responses there was user experience. That’s still people. If people don’t feel they can use the thing, they’re not going to use it. If it’s not immediately intuitive, they’re not going to use it. We make those snap judgments within milliseconds. Katie Robbert – 04:39 We look at something and it’s either, “Okay, this is interesting,” or “Nope,” and then close it out. It is a technology problem, but that’s a symptom. The root is people. Christopher S. Penn – 04:52 Exactly. In the rest of the paper, in section 6, when it talks about where the wins were for companies that were successful, I thought this was interesting. Lead qualification, speed, customer retention. Sure, those are front office things, but the paper highlights that the back office is really where enterprises will win using generative AI. But no one’s investing it. People are putting all the investment up front in sales and marketing rather than in the back office. So the back office wins. Business process optimization. Elimination: $2 million to $10 million annually in customer service and document processing—especially document processing is an easy win. Agency spend reduction: 30% decrease in external, creative, and content costs. And then risk checks for financial services by doing internal risk management. Christopher S. Penn – 05:39 I thought this was super interesting, particularly for our many friends and colleagues who work at agencies, seeing that 30% decrease in agency spend is a big deal. Katie Robbert – 05:51 It’s a huge deal. And this is, if we dig into this specific line item, this is where you’re going to get a lot of those people challenges because we’re saying 30% decrease in external creative and content costs. We’re talking about our designers and our writers, and those are the two roles that have felt the most pressure of generative AI in terms of, “Will it take my job?” Because generative AI can create images and it can write content. Can it do it well? That’s pretty subjective. But can it do it? The answer is yes. Christopher S. Penn – 06:31 What I thought was interesting says these gains came without material workforce reduction. Tools accelerated work, but did not change team structures or budgets. Instead, ROI emerged from reduced external spend, limiting contracts, cutting agency fees, replacing expensive consultants with AI-powered internal capabilities. So that makes logical sense if you are spending X dollars on something, an agency that writes blog content for you. When we were back at our old PR agency, we had one firm that was spending $50,000 a month on having freelancers write content that when you and I reviewed, it was not that great. Machines would have done a better job properly prompted. Katie Robbert – 07:14 What I find interesting is it’s saying that these gains came without material workforce reduction, but that’s not totally true because you did have to cut your agency fees, which is people actually doing the work, and replacing expensive consultants with AI-powered internal capabilities. So no, you didn’t cut workforce reduction at your own company, but you cut it at someone else’s. Christopher S. Penn – 07:46 Exactly. So the red flag there for anyone who works in an agency environment or a consulting environment is how much risk are you at from AI taking your existing clients away from you? So you might not lose a client to another agency—you might lose a client to an internal AI project where if there isn’t a value add of human beings. If your agency is just cranking out templated press releases, yeah, you’re at risk. So I think one of the first things that I took away from this report is that every agency should be doing a very hard look at what value it provides and saying, “How easy is it for AI to replicate this?” Christopher S. Penn – 08:35 And if you’re an agency and you’re like, “Oh, well, we can just have AI write our blog posts and hand it off to the client.” There’s nothing stopping the client from doing that either and just getting rid of you entirely. Katie Robbert – 08:46 The other thing that sticks out to me is replacing expensive consultants with AI-powered internal capabilities. Technically, Chris, you and I are consultants, but we’re also the first ones to knock the consulting industry as a whole, because there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in the consulting industry. There’s a lot of people who talk a big talk, have big ideas, but don’t actually do anything useful and productive. So I see this and I don’t immediately think, “Oh, we’re in trouble.” I think, “Oh, good, it’s going to clear out the rest of the noise in the industry and make way for the people who can actually do something.” Christopher S. Penn – 09:28 And that is the heart and soul, I think, for us. Obviously, we have our own vested interest in ensuring that we continue to add value to our clients. But I think you’re absolutely right that if you are good at the “why”—which is what a lot of consulting focuses on—that’s important. If you’re good at the “what”—which is more of the tactical stuff, “what are you going to do?”—that’s important. But what we see throughout this paper is the “how” is where people are getting tangled up: “How do we implement generative AI?” If you are just a navel-gazing ChatGPT expert, that “how” is going to bite you really hard really soon. Christopher S. Penn – 10:13 Because if you go and read through the rest of the paper, one of the things it talks about is the gap—the implementation gap between “here’s ChatGPT” and then for the enterprise it was like, “Well, here’s all of our data and all of our systems and all of our everything else that we want AI to talk to in a safe and secure way.” And this gap is gigantic between these two worlds. So tools like ChatGPT are being relegated to, “Let’s write more blog posts and write some press releases and stuff” instead of “help me actually get some work done with the things that I have to do in a prescribed way,” because that’s the enterprise. That gap is where consulting should be making a difference. Christopher S. Penn – 10:57 But to your point, with a lot of navel-gazing theorists, no one’s bridging that gap. Katie Robbert – 11:05 What I find interesting about the shift that we’ve seen with generative AI is we’ve almost in some ways regressed in the way that work is getting done. We’re looking at things as independent, isolated tasks versus fully baked, well-documented workflows. And we need to get back to those holistic 360-degree workflows to figure out where we can then insert something generative AI versus picking apart individual tasks and then just having AI do that. Now I do think that starting with a proof of concept on an individual task is a good idea because you need to demonstrate some kind of success. You need to show that it can do the thing, but then you need to go beyond that. It can’t just forever, to your point, be relegated to writing blog posts. Katie Robbert – 12:05 What does that look like as you start to expand it from project to program within your entire organization? Which, I don’t know if you know this, there’s a whole lesson about that in the AI strategy course. Just figured I would plug that. But all kidding aside, that’s one of the biggest challenges that I’m seeing with organizations that “disrupt” with AI is they’re still looking at individual tasks versus workflows as a whole. Christopher S. Penn – 12:45 Yep. One of the things that the paper highlighted was that the reason why a lot of these pilots fail is because either the vendor or the software doesn’t understand the actual workflow. It can do the miniature task, but it doesn’t understand the overall workflow. And we’ve actually had input calls with clients and potential clients where they’ve walked us through their workflow. And you realize AI can’t do all of it. There’s just some parts that just can’t be done by AI because in many cases it’s sneaker-net. It’s literally a human being who has to move stuff from one system to another. And there’s not an easy way to do that with generative AI. The other thing that really stood out for me in terms of bridging this divide is from a technological perspective. Christopher S. Penn – 13:35 The biggest hurdle from the technology side was cited as no memory. A tool like ChatGPT and stuff has no institutional memory. It can’t easily connect to your internal knowledge bases. And at an enterprise, that’s a really big deal. Obviously, at Trust Insights’ size—with five or four employees and a bunch of AI—we don’t have to synchronize and coordinate massive stores of institutional knowledge across the team. We all pretty much know what’s going on. When you are an IBM with 300,000 employees, that becomes a really big issue. And today’s tools, absent those connectors, don’t have that institutional memory. So they can’t unlock that value. And the good news is the technology to bridge that gap exists today. It exists today. Christopher S. Penn – 14:27 You have tools that have memory across an entire codebase, across a SharePoint instance. Et cetera. But where this breaks down is no one knows where that information is or how to connect it to these tools, and so that huge divide remains. And if you are a company that wants to unlock the value of gen AI, you have to figure out that memory problem from a platform perspective quickly. And the good news is there’s existing tools that do that. There’s vector databases and there’s a whole long list of acronyms and tongue twisters that will solve that problem for you. But the other four pieces need to be in place to do that because it requires a huge lift to get people to be willing to share their data, to do it in a secure way, and to have a measurable outcome. Katie Robbert – 15:23 It’s never a one-and-done. So who owns it? Who’s going to maintain it? What is the process to get the information in? What is the process to get the information out? But even backing up further, the purpose is why are we doing this in the first place? Are we an enterprise-sized company with so many employees that nobody knows the same information? Or am I a small solopreneur who just wants to have some protection in case something happens and I lose my memory or I want to onboard someone new and I want to do a knowledge-share? And so those are very different reasons to do it, which means that your approach is going to be slightly different as well. Katie Robbert – 16:08 But it also sounds like what you’re saying, Chris, is yes, the technology exists, but not in an easily accessible way that you could just pick up a memory stick off the shelf, plug it in, and say, “Boom, now we have memory. Go ahead and tell it everything.” Christopher S. Penn – 16:25 The paper highlights in section 6.5 where things need to go right, which is Agentic AI. In this case, Agentic AI is just fancy for, “Hey, we need to connect it to the rest of our systems.” It’s an expensive consulting word and it sounds cool. Agentic AI and agentic workflows and stuff, it really just means, “Hey, you’ve got this AI engine, but it’s not—you’re missing the rest of the car, and you need the rest of the car.” Again, the good news is the technology exists today for these tools to have access to that. But you’re blocking obstacles, not the technology. Christopher S. Penn – 17:05 Your governance is knowing where your data lives and having people who have the skills and knowledge to bring knowledge management practices into a gen AI world because it is different. It is not the same as previous knowledge management initiatives. We remember all the “in” with knowledge management was all the rage in the 90s and early 2000s with knowledge management systems and wikis and internal things and SharePoint and all that stuff, and no one ever kept it up to date. Today, Agentic can solve some of those problems, but you need to have all the other human being stuff in place. The machines can’t do it by themselves. Katie Robbert – 17:51 So yes, on paper it can solve all those problems. But no, it’s not going to. Because if we couldn’t get people to do it in a more analog way where it was really simple and literally just upload the latest document to the server or add 2 lines of detail to your code in terms of what this thing is about, adding more technology isn’t suddenly going to change that. It’s just adding another layer of something people aren’t going to do. I’m very skeptical always, and I just feel this is what’s going to mislead people. They’re like, “Oh, now I don’t have to really think about anything because the machine is just going to know what I know.” But it’s that initial setup and maintenance that people are going to skip. Katie Robbert – 18:47 So the machine’s going to know what it came out of the box with. It’s never going to know what you know because you’ve never interacted with it, you’ve never configured with it, you’ve never updated it, you’ve never given it to other people to use. It’s actually just going to become a piece of shelfware. Christopher S. Penn – 19:02 I will disagree with you there. For existing enterprise systems, specifically Copilot and Gemini. And here’s why. Those tools, assuming they’re set up properly, will have automatic access to the back-end. So they’ll have access to your document store, they’ll have access to your mail server, they’ll have access to those things so that even if people don’t—because you’re right, people ain’t going to do it. People ain’t going to document their code, they’re not going to write up detailed notes. But if the systems are properly configured—and that is a big if—it will have access to all of your Microsoft Teams transcripts, it will have access to all of your Google Meet transcripts and all that stuff. And on the back-end, without participation from the humans, it will at least have a greater scope of knowledge across your company properly configured. Christopher S. Penn – 19:50 That’s the big asterisk that will give those tools that institutional memory. Greater institutional memory than you have now, which at the average large enterprise is really siloed. Marketing has no idea what sales is doing. Sales has no idea what customer service is doing. But if you have a decent gen AI tool and a properly configured back-end infrastructure where the machines are already logging all your documents and all your spreadsheets and all this stuff, without you, the human, needing to do any work, it will generate better results because it will have access to the institutional data source. Katie Robbert – 20:30 Someone still has to set it up and maintain it. Christopher S. Penn – 20:32 Correct. Which is the whole properly configured part. Katie Robbert – 20:36 It’s funny, as you’re going through listing all of the things that it can access, my first thought is most of those transcripts aren’t going to be useful because people are going to hop on a call and instead of getting things done, they’re just going to complain about whatever their boss is asking them to do. And so the institutional knowledge is really, it’s only as good as the data you give it. And I would bet you, what is it that you like to say? A small pastry with the value of less than $5 or whatever it is. Basically, I’ll bet you a cookie that the majority of data that gets into those systems with spreadsheets and transcripts and documents and we’re saying all these things is still junk, is still unuseful. Katie Robbert – 21:23 And so you’re going to have a lot of data in there that’s still garbage because if you’re just automatically uploading everything that’s available and not being picky and not cleaning it and not setting standards, you’re still going to have junk. Christopher S. Penn – 21:37 Yes, you’ll still have junk. Or the opposite is you’ll have issues. For example, maybe you are at a tech company and somebody asks the internal Copilot, “Hey, who’s going to the Coldplay concert this weekend?” So yes, data security and stuff is going to be an equally important part of that to know that these systems have access that is provisioned well and that has granular access control. So that, say, someone can’t ask the internal Copilot, “Hey, what does the CEO get paid anyway?” Katie Robbert – 22:13 So that is definitely the other side of this. And so that gets into the other topic, which is data privacy. I remember being at the agency and our team used Slack, and we could see as admins the stats and the amount of DMs that were happening versus people talking in public channels. The ratios were all wrong because you knew everybody was back-channeling everything. And we never took the time to extract that data. But what was well-known but not really thought of is that we could have read those messages at any given time. And I think that’s something that a lot of companies take for granted is that, “Oh, well, I’m DMing someone or I’m IMing someone or I’m chatting someone, so that must be private.” Christopher S. Penn – 23:14 It’s not. All of that data is going to get used and pulled. I think we talked about this on last week’s podcast. We need to do an updated conversation and episode about data privacy. Because I think we were talking last week about bias and where these models are getting their data and what you need to be aware of in terms of the consumer giving away your data for free. Christopher S. Penn – 23:42 Yep. But equally important is having the internal data governance because “garbage in, garbage out”—that rule never changes. That is eternal. But equally true is, do the tools and the people using them have access to the appropriate data? So you need the right data to do your job. You also want to guard against having just a free-for-all, where someone can ask your internal Copilot, “Hey, what is the CEO and the HR manager doing at that Coldplay concert anyway?” Because that will be in your enterprise email, your enterprise IMs, and stuff like that. And if people are not thoughtful about what they put into work systems, you will see a lot of things. Christopher S. Penn – 24:21 I used to work at a credit union data center, and as an admin of the mail system, I had administrative rights to see the entire system. And because one of the things we had to do was scan every message for protected financial information. And boy, did I see a bunch of things that I didn’t want to see because people were using work systems for things that were not work-related. That’s not AI; it doesn’t fix that. Katie Robbert – 24:46 No. I used to work at a data-entry center for those financial systems. We were basically the company that sat on top of all those financial systems. We did the background checks, and our admin of the mail server very much abused his admin powers and would walk down the hall and say to one of the women, referencing an email that she had sent thinking it was private. So again, we’re kind of coming back to the point: these are all human issues machines are not going to fix. Katie Robbert – 25:22 Shady admins who are reading your emails or team members who are half-assing the documentation that goes into the system, or IT staff that are overloaded and don’t have time to configure this shiny new tool that you bought that’s going to suddenly solve your knowledge expertise issues. Christopher S. Penn – 25:44 Exactly. So to wrap up, the MIT study was decent. It was a decent study, and pretty much everybody misinterpreted all the results. It is worth reading, and if you’d like to read it yourself, you can. We actually posted a copy of the actual study in our Analytics for Marketers Slack group, where you and over 4,000 of the marketers are asking and answering each other’s questions every single day.

Scaling an advisory firm quickly requires more than just marketing - it demands intentional infrastructure, rapid lead conversion systems, and a team built for volume. This episode explores how investing heavily in digital marketing, building internal efficiencies, and empowering advisors can drive explosive growth without sacrificing client service. Gabriel Shahin is the CEO of Falcon Wealth Planning, an RIA based in Ontario, California, that oversees $1.4 billion in AUM for 1,500 households. Listen in as Gabriel shares how his firm grew from $200 million to $1.4 billion in just five years by generating 2,500 leads per month and onboarding nearly 500 clients annually. We dive into how his team maximizes paid ads on Google with targeted landing pages and lead magnets, why content creation for SEO and “answer engine” optimization is central to their strategy, and how they ensure fast follow-up by assigning staff to manage inbound leads. Gabriel also discusses his firm's revenue-based compensation model for its advisors, why he views his advisors as his top clients, and how stepping out of day-to-day operations has allowed him to focus on leading the firm into its next phase of expansion.

This episode features an interview with Gaurav Misra, CEO, Captions, an AI video-generation company that allows you to create and edit talking videos with AI.  Gaurav dives into the practical applications and future implications of AI in video, and how these tools can enhance marketing efforts for businesses of all sizes.Key Takeaways:Video capabilities are improving rapidly, and are now at the point where spinning up an AI-generated version of you speaking, is likely better quality than anything you could deliver to camera. These capabilities allow marketers to spin-up and test content very quickly with far less expense than in the past. How people will react to content moving forward, when it will become less and less clear what is real, remains to be seen. Quote: “ Spun up a video and it's like me wearing like a suit… I'm delivering this emotional message, but I'm delivering it so fluently with all these words that I would probably never use actually… and I'm looking at this like, shit, I couldn't be like this on camera. This is such a good delivery, such a good presentation..  It just isn't actually physically possible. And I think we are at that point where I can look at that and be like, wow, I just couldn't do this. It's better than what I could do.”Episode Timestamps: *(03:13) Challenges and Opportunities in Video Content*(08:01) The Future of AI Tools in Creative Work*(24:11) Innovations in Video Generation*(28:28) Real-World Applications and Feedback*(35:27) The Future of Deep Fakes and Content AuthenticitySponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.
