We also explore how Instagram content actually connects to leads and sales, including the different roles Reels and Stories play inside your marketing funnel.You'll also hear Brock's take on DM automation in 2026, why many small business owners accidentally make Instagram harder than it needs to be, and the one metric that matters more than most people realize.What You'll Learn03:11 – How Brock landed an interview with the CEO of Instagram10:26 – Brock's weekly workflow for producing massive amounts of content12:20 – Why batching content prevents burnout for business owners14:15 – The content creation system that makes consistency easier20:51 – Why talking-head videos often drive more qualified leads27:27 – The biggest mistake business owners make when selling on Instagram30:19 – The difference between Reels and Stories in your sales funnel34:38 – Creative ways to use DM automation in 202642:37 – What your automated welcome DM should actually say45:03 – The biggest misconception about growing on Instagram48:19 – The metric that matters more than most people realizeResources MentionedFollow Brock Johnson on InstagramJoin InstaClubHubJoin Social Media Marketing WorldGrab Elizabeth's Free Monetize Your IG GuideWORK WITH ELIZABETH MARBERRY Apply for your FREE Instagram Breakthrough Session with Elizabeth Free guide to Monetize Your IG: Seven Simple and Proven Ways to Finally Make Money on Instagram Follow Elizabeth Marberry on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook Please be sure to rate, review and follow the show on Apple podcasts (or wherever you find your podcasts) so we can get this free value to other people who need it.

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. Elvis actually made it down to the exhibition halls this year — and hyperDENT from FOLLOW-ME! Technology was everywhere. Booth after booth, people were talking milling strategies, templates, and workflows. It felt like a full-on CAM takeover. Their Milling Roadmap scavenger hunt had attendees bouncing between Axsys, Imagine, D.O.F., and Roland collecting stamps like responsible adults… Responsible adults chasing a bright orange folding electric hyperDENT scooter. That's what we love about the FOLLOW-ME! team — world-class CAM engineers talking microns and validation protocols one minute, then ripping around Lab Day the next. Serious about precision. Not too serious about themselves. Big shoutout for bringing the brains — and the electric horsepower. Come see and talk to Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows in 2026* Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 Live from the Ivoclar stage at LMT Lab Day Chicago 2026, Elvis and Barb sits down with two very different innovators shaping the future of the dental lab world. First up is industry veteran Rob Fletcher, who shares the story behind ACES (Automated Case Entry Software)—a system designed to eliminate one of the biggest bottlenecks in dental labs: manually entering handwritten prescriptions. Drawing on years of lean manufacturing experience running labs like Knight Dental Group and Bayshore Dental Studio, Rob explains how combining OCR and AI can read RX forms, learn lab terminology, and automate case entry directly into an LMS. The result? Faster workflows, fewer data entry headaches, and one less department that labs have to constantly hire and retrain. Then the conversation shifts to collaboration and innovation as Don Bell and Andreas Klie discuss a new partnership between Ivoclar and Panthera Dental. They break down how Panthera's Fusion Bar technology works with Ivoclar materials to simplify full-arch workflows while improving precision, aesthetics, and efficiency. The team also dives into the education behind the technology, the launch of the Panthera Academy, and how collaboration between companies—and listening to technicians—helps push the industry forward. Hey, listeners—ever wonder what Elvis is doing when he's not recording Voices from the Bench? He's a client rep for Derby Dental Laboratory, out in the field every day doing chairside visits and building relationships. His job is simple—keep doctors happy and keep them coming back. And he couldn't do it without iCortica. Right from his phone, Elvis can see sales, remake rates, account notes, risks, and cross-sell opportunities—even before he walks through the door. No spreadsheets. No surprises. Just the info he needs to grow accounts. Stop digging for data and start taking action. Head to icortica.com and schedule your demo today.

Why are employees still drowning in administrative work despite years of digital transformation, new software platforms, and constant promises that technology will make work easier? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore that question with Jason Spry from Ricoh Europe. What begins as a discussion about a new Ricoh research report quickly turns into a much broader conversation about how modern workplaces actually operate day to day. The findings are striking. Employees across Europe are losing an average of 15 hours every week to routine administrative tasks. That is time spent searching for documents, reentering data across systems, preparing reports manually, and navigating layers of disconnected tools. For many organizations, this creates a strange contradiction. Leadership teams often believe that new platforms and software will simplify workflows, yet many employees feel the opposite. The tools designed to make work easier sometimes create additional layers of complexity. Jason shares his perspective from nearly three decades in document processing and outsourcing, explaining how years of digital initiatives have often resulted in systems stacked on top of one another rather than genuinely simplified workflows. The result is a fragmented experience where finding the latest version of a document or locating the right information for a meeting can consume far more time than it should. We also discuss the hidden risks behind these inefficiencies. When documents are scattered across systems or poorly managed, the consequences go beyond frustration. Ricoh's research shows that many organizations have experienced compliance breaches or near misses because important documents were missing, misfiled, or simply impossible to locate at the right moment. Jason explains why governance, visibility, and consistent document management are becoming increasingly important in a world where decisions rely on accurate information. Another theme that runs throughout this conversation is the idea of marginal gains. Small inefficiencies like searching for files, reentering data, or preparing documents for meetings might seem trivial in isolation. Yet when they happen hundreds of times across a workforce, they add up to a serious productivity drain. Jason compares it to the concept of improving performance by one percent at a time. Removing even a few of these micro frustrations can transform how people experience their workday. Naturally, we also talk about automation and AI. But Jason offers a refreshing perspective here as well. Rather than starting with the technology, he argues that organizations should begin by identifying the real pain points employees face. That often means speaking directly with the people doing the work and asking what frustrates them most. Once those challenges are clear, automation and intelligent document management tools can start delivering results quickly, sometimes within weeks rather than years. By the end of the conversation, it becomes clear that solving the admin overload problem does not always require massive transformation projects. Often the answer lies in simplifying processes, connecting systems more intelligently, and removing the small friction points that slow everyone down. So I am curious. How much time do you think your organization loses to administrative work each week, and what simple changes could give employees that time back?

AI sounds confident even when it's wrong. Dom Bettinelli, Fr. Joseph Sund, and Tom Grelinger share a five-step verification workflow for AI outputs — because plausibility is not the same as truth, and authority belongs to people, not machines. The post The Second Opinion Workflow: How to Fact-Check Your AI appeared first on StarQuest Media.

The way litigation has been practiced for decades is cracking - and the lawyers who see it first will win. Recorded live at Legalweek 2026, host David Cowen sits down with Jeffrey Chivers, CEO of Syllo, to unpack why AI isn't just automating legal tasks - it's collapsing the traditional litigation workflow entirely. The path from discovery to trial-ready strategy is getting shorter. The question is: which legal professionals will adapt in time? What you'll learn: Why the litigation AI market has officially matured - and who's winning How Syllo was built by a litigator for litigators, not as a generic platform Why the old step-by-step workflow is dead - and what's replacing it What associates are really feeling right now, and what they need to hear Why 2025–2026 may be the most career-defining window in modern legal history

In this episode of Next in Media, I sit down with Sam Garfield, Head of Digital Strategy for CMT Data and AI Platforms at Adobe, to explore how Adobe is quietly becoming the backbone of modern marketing. Sam breaks down how Adobe operates across three core layers: the creative layer (Creative Cloud and Firefly AI), the content supply chain layer (Workfront and asset management), and the data and experience layer (customer data platforms and analytics). Together, these tools form what Sam describes as an operating system for marketers -- a full-stack solution that takes a brand from ideation all the way through activation and measurement. We also dig into the rise of creative intelligence and what it means for brands, agencies, and the future of advertising. Sam unpacks Adobe's Winterberry Group research showing a 23% increase in investment in creative intelligence, and explains why creative can no longer be treated as a fixed cost. We cover how generative AI is accelerating asset production at scale, why agencies are leaning into Adobe's platform rather than building from scratch, and how agentic AI is beginning to appear inside existing workflows. Sam also reveals that traffic to brand sites and publishers is down 40% as LLMs reshape discovery, and shares how Adobe's new LLM Optimizer tool is helping brands regain visibility in a generative search world.   Key Highlights

本集節目由《經理人》副總編輯張玉琦，邀請《經理人》數位內容主編林柏源，分享高效產出簡報的工作方法。【AI 簡報極速工作流】明明用 AI 做簡報，還是好花時間？教你學會顧問級架構 X 專業設計 X 商業說服力，省下7成製作時間！podcast 專屬折扣碼「AIwork」，再折 $400 元！快快點擊購課連結： https://lihi.cc/qJSzd 你是不是也遇過這種情況：拿到大神分享的 Prompt（提示詞）大全，貼上去卻跑不出你要的結果？或者 AI 幫你做出超美簡報，你卻覺得「這根本不像我的風格」而不敢拿去報告？本集《職場來一課》要帶大家誠實面對使用 AI 工具的挫折與焦慮，並告訴我們為什麼學會一套核心的「工作流（Workflow）」，比死背工具指令更重要。 本集重點： 1.小心生成式AI的邏輯幻覺與數字陷阱：AI很聰明，但有時會自作聰明。它可能會根據上下文，幫你「腦補」出一段看似通順、但完全不是你想表達的觀點；或者產出一個設計精美的圖表，但仔細一看，達成率的數字根本算錯，圓餅圖的比例也完全不對。適時地把手放回鍵盤上自己微調，才是最高效的做法。 2.零碎時間的「語音收集法」：做簡報最痛苦的就是在空白螢幕前從零開始。試著把「高強度發想」轉移到「零碎時間」！試著在等客戶、搭捷運時，把腦中凌亂的想法錄音丟給 AI。AI 不會嫌你語無倫次，它能幫你把散狀的思緒，梳理成有條理的簡報大綱，讓你回到電腦前能直接進入設計階段。 3.「Prompt 懶人包」的詛咒與 AI 帶來的「冒牌者症候群」：我們都很習慣四處蒐集「提示詞大全」，但只懂複製貼上，會扼殺我們思考的過程。這也是為什麼課程中堅持要花 10 分鐘解釋 YAML 格式的邏輯。此外，當一個平常不太擅長排版的人，突然用 AI 做出 90 分的精美簡報時，往往會產生「冒牌者症候群」，覺得「太華麗了，這不像我」。其實，你可以透過調整 Prompt 讓風格回歸低調素雅，或者只讓 AI 幫忙整理架構，設計由自己掌握，找到最舒服的人機協作比例。 Powered by Firstory Hosting

In this episode, we discuss using `claude --worktree` to spin up parallel feature work, and the unexpected friction that can arise when your editor doesn't play nicely with nested worktrees.Jake shares his experience running multiple Claude agents in parallel and problems that surfaced in PhpStorm.

Chris Long (formerly at Go Fish Digital, now co-founder of Nectiv Digital) explains how AI is reshaping search from two angles: (1) operational automation (briefs, research, internal linking, refresh workflows) and (2) shifting buyer behavior, where people increasingly start discovery in LLMs and use Google more as a verification / reputation check. He demos how MCP connectors let you query Ahrefs and Google Analytics conversationally (often in Claude), then blend datasets to generate competitive insights, keyword clustering, and strategy gaps—without living inside traditional dashboards.Timestamps0:00 — Intro: SEO vs AEO/GEO and why AI is changing the game0:20 — Two AI impacts: automating SEO work + changing how buyers discover products1:50 — Google becomes “verification” while LLMs become discovery (especially in B2B)3:00 — “WebMCP” concept: standard rails so agents can reliably take actions on websites5:25 — Optimizing for agents (treating them like VIP visitors) and what that means for sites6:15 — Why LLM/agent usage is hard to measure (clicks vs logs vs self-reported attribution)10:00 — Nective's “build first” approach: tools/workflows before hiring more people14:00 — Demo: Ahrefs MCP in Claude for competitor insights + content strategy patterns27:45 — Demo: Google Analytics MCP (and why it's a relief vs GA4's interface)35:50 — Blending Ahrefs + GA data to generate strategy gaps and page ideas39:00 — AEO tooling landscape: LLM trackers (Profound, Athena) + automation (n8n, AirOps)41:15 — Autonomous agents (OpenClaw) and the future of “persistent” task completion45:15 — Where to find Chris (LinkedIn + Nective Digital)Tools & technologies mentionedSEO / AEO / GEO — Approaches to improving visibility in traditional search and AI-generated answers.LLMs (Large Language Models) — Used for research/discovery; increasingly the first stop before Google.Agents / Agentic browsing — Software that navigates websites and completes actions (forms, carts, checkout).WebMCP (as discussed) — Structured markup/standardization so agents can precisely interact with site elements.MCP (Model Context Protocol connectors) — Connectors that let AI query external tools via natural language.Ahrefs — SEO data platform (traffic estimates, backlinks, top pages, competitor research).Claude (web + Claude Code) — Used for data-heavy work and debugging MCP setups.ChatGPT — Mentioned as preferred for more knowledge-based tasks compared to data analysis.Google Analytics 4 (GA4) — Web analytics; MCP access can reduce reliance on the GA4 UI.Server access logs — Useful for identifying agent/bot activity not visible in standard analytics reports.BigQuery — Intermediary data warehouse for querying analytics data more flexibly.Slack — Used for capturing “how did you hear about us?” attribution signals.Profound — LLM visibility/brand mention tracking tool.Athena — Another LLM visibility tracker discussed as more data-driven/scalable.n8n — Workflow automation for content engineering pipelines.AirOps — Automation/content workflow tooling mentioned alongside n8n.OpenClaw — Referenced as an autonomous agent tool example.Subscribe at⁠ thisnewway.com⁠ to get the step-by-step playbooks, tools, and workflows.

This week's episode is a round robin conversation about the things we overcomplicate in the studio.Kick drums. Arrangement. Mix bus processing. Sound design. Workflow. We all have areas where we spiral — adding layers, tweaking endlessly, chasing perfection, or solving problems that didn't exist in the first place.We're unpacking why we do it, when complexity helps, and when it quietly holds us back.Sometimes improving isn't about learning more. It's about doing less.Join us for a thoughtful (and slightly confessional) discussion about creative overthinking in music production.Lars has a new single, check it here:https://errorpronerecords.bandcamp.com/album/completely-incoherent-dreamsThanks to our Patrons who support what we do:Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen SetzepfandtLars Haur - Audionaut ProducerJonathan Goode - Audionaut ProducerJoin the conversation:

When it comes to concept art, there are a lot of ways to do it. You can design by theme.You can isolate characters first.You can tackle environments in batches.You can refine one visual language until it's perfect before moving on. That might even be the “better” way.But for The Arbiters, we're doing something different.In this episode, I break down our concept art process — specifically why we're moving chronologically through the script, designing scenes in order rather than by category or aesthetic theme.For me, trying to design everything based purely on theme felt too abstract and overwhelming. I couldn't quite wrap my head around how to sustain that approach across the entire film.Going scene-by-scene is simpler. More tangible. More momentum-driven. Our goal right now isn't perfection.It's not final production-ready art.It's creating “close enough” versions of everything.Once we've concepted the full film — characters, props, environments — we can step back and review: 1) What's working? 2) What feels inconsistent? 3) What needs to evolve? 4) Where are we repeating ourselves visually?And then we refine.Two important notes: 1) This is our process for The Arbiters. It's not the only way. There's no universal pipeline. Every creative team has to choose what works for their brain, their workflow, and their bandwidth. 2) We're doing this after building a 100+ page movie bible — a deep world-building document covering history, governments, technology systems, currency, celebrations, power structures, and more. That foundation gives us clarity. We know the core. Now we're building the visuals that express it.This episode is about choosing simplicity over paralysis, momentum over perfection, and trusting that iteration beats overthinking.If you're developing your own project — animated, live-action, indie, big-budget — this might help you find a process that actually works for you.

Dextall is attacking a structural inefficiency in construction: the 3-year design coordination cycle that precedes every mid-rise building, combined with the chaotic on-site execution that follows. Founded by Aurimas Sabulis after years running a commercial window company and witnessing construction site dysfunction firsthand, Dextall is building what Aurimas calls a "prefab operating system"—software that connects architectural design directly to factory production of building exteriors. In a market where less than 1% of U.S. mid-rise projects use prefab (versus 75% in Scandinavia), Dextall is bridging the 3-4 year gap between design inception and approved drawings while manufacturing building components that arrive on-site as "Lego blocks." In this episode, Aurimas shares the hard lessons learned from building in construction's unforgiving risk environment. Topics Discussed: Targeting the 6-40 story sweet spot: steel, concrete, and mass timber construction where prefab delivers maximum value (below 6 stories is wood frame; above 40 enters different glass-box typology) The reality of U.S. prefab penetration: 99% of projects in Dextall's pipeline would go traditional route without them Why the physical product stayed constant from day one while software took multiple failed iterations The expensive lesson: building software that goes from design to fabrication in one day, only to learn architects rejected it because it removed their design control Evolving from 2D drawings to 3D renderings to animations to physical two-story mock-ups—and why customers only "got it" after seeing real completed buildings Launching a separate SaaS division for architects that independently generates value while creating 90% backend efficiency when connected to Dextall's manufacturing The three-to-five-year vision: prompt-engineered buildings with real-time cost, carbon footprint, and feasibility feedback GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Domain credibility is your entry ticket in risk-averse industries: Aurimas's first customers came because he had "street credibility"—a track record of delivering complex, large-scale window projects. In construction, healthcare, and other industries where failure has severe consequences, founders without domain experience face insurmountable trust barriers. If you're building in these markets without industry background, your co-founder or first hires must bring that credibility, or you'll burn years trying to earn it. Proof velocity matters more than proof perfection: Dextall moved from 9-story buildings to 40-story projects by stacking proof points, not by waiting to debut with a showcase project. Each successful delivery de-risked the next larger bet. Founders should optimize for proof velocity—getting the smallest viable validation that enables the next larger commitment—rather than trying to land the trophy customer that "proves everything." Physical businesses require physical proof—budget accordingly: Dextall built multiple two-story physical mock-ups and actual buildings before customers truly understood their value proposition, despite having sophisticated 3D animations. Aurimas noted customers kept claiming they understood, then asking the same questions until they could physically see and touch completed work. If you're building in construction, manufacturing, or industrial sectors, your CAC will include physical demonstration costs that software founders never face. Budget 3-5x what you think you'll need for mock-ups and proofs of concept. Workflow disruption fails when you remove user agency: Dextall's software could compress 3-4 years of design coordination into one day—a 1000x improvement. Architects rejected it because it was "too heavy" and removed their control over design. The team had to rebuild to let architects control design while Dextall's system handled the backend connection to manufacturing. When your "better way" requires users to surrender control or change how they think about their craft, you're not selling efficiency—you're selling identity change, which rarely works. Find the integration layer that adds value without displacing existing agency. In mature industries, selectively challenge the status quo: Aurimas explicitly asks "is this fight worth fighting?" when Dextall encounters resistance to their approach. They focus on 3-4 nuances at a time rather than attempting to fix all 100 industry problems. When pushback happens, they evaluate whether to press the issue or "build deeper trench within the customer base" first, then return to that battle later. Founders tackling established industries should map their battles, not just their product roadmap—identify which conventions are essential to challenge for your value prop, and which can wait until you have more market power. Bridge disconnected systems rather than optimizing endpoints: The construction industry has sophisticated design tools (AI-powered generative design) and manufacturers (though often Excel-based). Dextall's differentiation is connecting these two worlds—architects can design freely, and their designs automatically translate to manufacturing specifications with real-time costing and feasibility. Many mature industries have this pattern: advanced front-end tools, capable back-end production, but manual/broken handoffs between them. The integration layer often provides more defensible value than improving either endpoint. Layer software distribution onto enterprise sales once you have proof: Dextall spent years doing "old school" enterprise sales—cold calling developers, lunch-and-learns with architects, bringing customers to job sites. Only after building credibility and understanding architect workflows are they launching SaaS for architectural firms. The software creates independent value for architects while generating 90% backend efficiency for Dextall when connected. Founders in hybrid businesses should resist the temptation to lead with software distribution before proving the full value chain works—but actively build toward that transition. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers welcomed Joe from Sembley to discuss a range of topics impacting agencies, from personal lines to AI-powered tools. David shared insights on the challenges of building a personal lines division from scratch, how tech investments have streamlined workflows, and the importance of agency owners evaluating their tech stack to maximize efficiency. They dove into the power of custom intake forms, e-signatures, and integrations with systems like Hawksoft. The conversation also emphasized the shift towards automation to save time and resources in an industry that's increasingly tech-driven. Key points: Personal Lines Challenges and Tech Adaptation David discussed how launching personal lines at Florida Risk has been a learning experience, especially in integrating new technology and adapting workflows. The move forced a deeper look into their tech stack and how it could support scalability and efficiency. Building Custom Intake Forms for Streamlined Workflows Joe explained how custom intake forms in Sembley can simplify data gathering, especially with conditional logic, and how it saves agents time by pre-populating accord forms, sub-apps, and client profiles. Tech-Driven Time Savings and Reducing Manual Work David emphasized that many agencies waste time on repetitive tasks like data entry and supplementals. He highlighted how tech can free up agents' time to focus on high-value work, including meaningful client interactions and prospecting. The Hawksoft Integration and Two-Way Data Flow Joe shared how Sembley now integrates with Hawksoft, allowing agents to push data directly into their system, significantly cutting down on manual entry and improving data accuracy. The Importance of Making Strategic Tech Investments David encouraged agency owners to evaluate their tech stacks with an “abundance mindset” to avoid being left behind. He stressed that technology is an investment in saving time, increasing accuracy, and building stronger client relationships. The Growing Role of AI and Automation in the Industry Joe and David discussed how AI and automation tools are revolutionizing the insurance industry, from data gathering to policy renewal, and how adopting these technologies can be a game-changer for agencies looking to stay competitive.

If you're a wedding photographer who thinks you have to choose between getting the photo OR the video, this episode is going to completely rewire how you think about hybrid shooting.In this live Hang w/ Shay episode of the Hybrid Hangout podcast, I'm breaking down the exact mental framework I use on a wedding day so I'm never guessing, never scrambling, and never worried about missing something.Here's the core of it:You're not taking one photo and then grabbing random clips.You're capturing the same five perspectives as BOTH photo and video so you walk away with complete coverage every time.Wide photo → 5-second wide videoLong photo → 5-second long videoClose photo → 5-second close videoDetail photo → 5-second detail videoB-roll photo → 5-second b-roll videoThat's the system. It keeps you grounded in how photographers already see scenes while layering in just enough motion to tell a story later.This isn't about turning yourself into a filmmaker overnight. It's about realizing you already know how to see moments. You just need a repeatable plan for what to capture while you're there.We also talk about why more cameras and bigger teams don't automatically make you a better hybrid shooter, how intentional coverage actually improves your galleries, and the mindset shift that makes hybrid feel simple instead of overwhelming.MEDIA REC:Go watch something visually stunning and study the framing and storytelling. A few ideas: Pride and Prejudice (2005), One Day on Netflix, or Age of Adeline. Pay attention to what each shot is doing in the story, then try applying that thinking to your next wedding.DM me what you watched and what inspired you: https://www.instagram.com/hybridhangout/FLOWERS:Shoutout to Emily from ETC Photography and Elevated Shoots for her inclusive styled shoot series in Crested Butte this July.https://www.instagram.com/elevatedshootsetc/If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: hybrid shooting doesn't require more coverage, it just requires more intention.Try the five-perspective approach at your next wedding, even if it's just during one part of the day, and watch how much more confident you feel going into the edit.And if you want help actually implementing this into your business, DM me @hybridhangout or book a call and we can talk about whether Hybrid Hub is the right move for you.BOOK A CALL: https://montanadiaries.hbportal.co/schedule/6998c7e634e3bd00335c5184Hybrid Hub is my program for wedding and elopement photographers who want to add video, raise their prices, and build a business that makes sense long term.

“The major pitfall of machine learning of any kind is to be overly confident in the results. We run the risk of garbage in gospel out.” This discussion offers a rare chance to go a little deeper into a Leading Edge article and hear directly from the authors about the thinking behind their workflow. Satinder Chopra and Kurt Marfurt walk through how unsupervised machine learning, careful attribute selection, and simple preprocessing steps can reveal subtle channel features in a deepwater New Zealand example. It feels less like a theory lesson and more like practical guidance on using machine learning as a helpful partner in everyday seismic interpretation. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Small workflow choices have big impact. Clean input data, thoughtful attribute selection, and simple normalization steps often determine whether machine learning highlights geology or just amplifies noise. > The value is in the combination of tools and judgment. Unsupervised methods quickly expose patterns, but interpreters still need to compare results with seismic sections, wells, and regional context to confirm what is real. > PCA and SOM make complex attribute sets easier to explore. By reducing dozens of attributes into clearer clusters, they help interpreters see channel shapes and reservoir variability that might otherwise be overlooked.

You already know how to write learning objectives. You reference Bloom's taxonomy. You understand Moore's outcomes framework. But here's the real question:When you write a learning objective, can you clearly identify the two to three specific clinical tasks that must happen for that objective to be achieved?In this episode—based on a webinar I participated in with the Good CME Practice Group—we go deeper than frameworks. We unpack what actually sits underneath a learning objective and how that layer determines whether your CME changes practice… or simply delivers information.What We Explore in This EpisodeWhy learning objectives are signposts—not the design itselfHow to break each objective into 2–3 concrete clinical tasksThe role of workflow, format, and audience context in determining granularityHow learning science (cognitive load, retrieval practice, feedback) strengthens action-focused designWhere CME programs most commonly lose alignment between need, content, assessment, and outcomesKey TakeawayIf you can't name the specific clinical actions required to meet an objective, the content won't drive behavior change.Design lives underneath the objective.Next StepIf this episode resonated, try this:Take one learning objective from a current project and ask:What are the two or three specific clinical actions underneath it?Where do those actions appear in the content?Where are they assessed?That exercise alone will elevate your design work.And if you want structured practice applying this level of thinking—with feedback, live coaching, and a community of CME professionals—explore WriteCME Pro.This is where writers become design partners.ResourcesGood CME Practice GroupMentioned in this episode:AI Practice LabBuild a Practical, Safe, Repeatable AI-assisted Workflow in Just 4 Weeks.

I'm continuing my exploration of a hard truth many leaders of analytics software companies run into: deals don't stall because the tech is weak. Instead, they stall because prospects can't see the value soon enough or the risk of changing the status quo is too high. This is often a product problem, not a sales one, and obtaining Flow-of-Work Alignment (FOWA) may help you start closing more evals and deals. So what is FOWA? The idea is simple, but demanding: stop showcasing features and start designing experiences that fit into how customers already do their work, create value, and add delight when your product is added into the loop.  Getting to FOWA means tailoring demos with realistic, industry-specific data, reducing mental translation, and minimizing behavior change. In this scenario, improvements become small, testable bets tied to outcomes, not feature checklists. UX and usability are not cosmetic; they should shape trust, adoption, and buyability.  When prospects can clearly see themselves succeeding with your product, value feels obvious, evals progress, and deals close.  Highlights/ Skip to: Steps to implementing Flow-of-Work Alignment (FOWA):  Tailor your demo or POC to map to the prospects' world and their workflow (1:53) Treat product improvements as bets that have to be tested so that observable outcomes are what you're holding your product team accountable for (3:57) Reducing perceived behavior change (6:39) Realize that your product's visual design are likely impacting your product's clarity and its desirability (12:29)  Aligning your sales and product teams around customer outcomes and not feature gaps (18:03) Why you might think FOWA won't work for your product—and how to reframe those objections (24:22)

This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast. It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It's only about 20 minutes and you'll mediate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  If you're new here, welcome and give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316. Your 2026 Life Overhaul Plan: Faith, Clutter, Debt, Diet and More!

Still guessing on Amazon listing images? Today's guest shares a simple AI image workflow that makes decisions easy—what to fix first, what to test, and how to know it'll win.   If your AI-generated Amazon images look “technically perfect” but still don't convert, you're not alone, and you're not missing more prompts. In this AIM (AI Monthly) session, our Amazon creatives expert guest breaks down the real issue. AI and designers can execute, but they can't decide strategy for you. That's why sellers often spend thousands on creatives that look good, yet still fail to drive more clicks and sales.   Hannah Lyss Tampioc is the Founder and CEO of Mad Cat Creatives, and her team has worked with more than 300 brands. She walks through how shoppers actually buy on Amazon and explains why each image serves a different purpose. Your main image needs to stand out in mobile search results. Images two and three should help shoppers quickly understand what they're getting. The rest of your images and A+ Content should build confidence by answering objections and removing hesitation. The key is figuring out whether you have a click problem or a conversion problem, then fixing the right part of your image stack instead of randomly “refreshing” everything.   The centerpiece of the episode is Hannah's SORT framework. First, you spot the priority so you know what to fix first. Next, you gather the right context by pulling mobile search screenshots, competitor pages, reviews, and Rufus questions. Then you use that information to reason through the data, so your AI outputs are based on real buyer language instead of guesses. Finally, you test before committing by validating your image ideas with polling tools like the Helium 10 Audience tool, powered by PickFu, before you publish. You'll also see a real example using Bradley Sutton's Project X Coffin Shelf listing, where small changes like aspect ratio, mobile-first sizing, and packaging callouts helped the main image stand out more when it mattered most. By the end, you'll know exactly what to fix first and how to follow a repeatable AI Amazon image workflow that confirms your next update will win before you publish. In episode 495 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley and Hannah discuss: 00:00 – Introduction 01:27 – The Missing Ingredient To Your Amazon Listing Images 02:31 – Meet Hannah & The “Named My Son Helium” Story 06:05 – The Real Issue: Strategy Beats Design + AI 09:02 – The Job Of Each Amazon Image Stack 11:17 – The SORT Framework Overview 11:41 – Click Problem vs Conversion Problem (What To Fix First) 12:23 – What To Gather Before You Design Anything 23:17 – Coffin Shelf Case Study: Mobile Size Wins 30:46 – ChatGPT Prompts & Gemini Image Generation Workflow 35:05 – “Main Image In 10 Minutes” & Gemini Tip 37:03 – Secondary Images: Use GPT For Briefs + Prompting 39:50 – Helium 10 Discount Code SSP20 + Q&A 42:04 – Where To Find Hannah (LinkedIn) & Mad Cat Creatives
