Greywashing 101: The Illusion of Including Older Workers You've heard it before:  “We value experience.” Then they ghost you for having it!   Welcome to greywashing.  The corporate costume party where age inclusion is just a mask and older professionals are quietly filtered out by AI, ATS, and coded language. Lines like, “you're overqualified” or “we want a digital native…” simply translate to:  You're too old, too seasoned, and too expensive. The illusion of inclusion is real. But this isn't just bias. It's a fully blown business epidemic hidden in plain sight. Nearly half of professionals over 40 say they've been shut out because of their age, yet only 8% of DEI programs even acknowledge it.  On the other hand, companies like Workday, IBM, Facebook, and PWC are under legal fire for allowing AI-driven tools to quietly screen out older applicants.  This isn't progress; this is exclusion with a new interface. In this episode, I expose the truth behind performative inclusion and show you how to spot it, expose it, and outsmart it. How “inclusive” job posts still signal: you're not wanted Why “digital native” isn't a compliment, it's a filter The 3 biggest myths keeping age bias invisible How to reframe your experience as the solution to urgent, expensive problems The power of pattern recognition and how to make it your superpower Here's what it looks like when you stop playing defense and start owning your edge. The system's flawed. But your positioning? That's power. You're not too old. You're too qualified to play small. Loved the episode?

Dr. Laura welcomes Dr. Joel Davis Brown. Chief Visionary Officer of Pneumos LLC, sought-after speaker, and author of “The Souls of Queer Folk: How Understanding LGBTQ+ Culture Can Transform Your Leadership Practice”, to Where Work Meets Life™ to talk about his journey, leadership, and what we can all learn from the queer community. Joel discusses how he worked to uncover what it means to be queer from an ethnographic standpoint, validating and understanding the community, in order to understand their leadership lessons. Joel and Dr. Laura explore the nine queer leadership principles from Joel's book, including justice, verve, resilience, and interconnectedness, which are core leadership competencies everyone should embrace. Joel highlights the importance of gratitude, differentiating it from toxic positivity, the significance of coming out, how leaders must heal themselves to do transformational work, and how soulful leadership embodies the essence of an individual. The conversation illuminates the depths of experience in the queer community, the insights Joel has pulled from the community to write his book, and the power of interconnectedness and storytelling.“Leadership is a life book. It's not a business book. So leadership applies to how you lead yourself, how you interact and engage with your family, your spouse, your children, your community, and yes, with the world. And so in that space, I think there's an opportunity for people to learn and to benefit from the wisdom of the queer community, asking: how can I be better as an individual? How can I be a better version of myself? How can I have a better relationship with my family? How can I support my organization? And also, how can we create a better planet? So that's in essence what this book is about.” Dr. Joel Davis BrownAbout Dr. Joel Davis Brown Esq., Ed.D., CLC:Dr. Joel A. Davis Brown is the Chief Visionary Officer of Pneumos LLC, a management consulting company based in San Francisco, California, and Nairobi, Kenya, specializing in cultural intelligence, leadership development, organizational strategy and change management, and strategic storytelling.

Joel is also a certified facilitator with the Cultural Detective suite of intercultural tools. Since 2018, Joel has served as an adjunct professor at the IESEG Management school in Lille and Paris, France, where he teaches Masters courses on emotional intelligence, strategic storytelling, and story listening.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down Google Cloud's explosive Q2 performance — including a 32% revenue jump, a $106 billion backlog, and a surge in billion-dollar deals.Highlights00:14 — We saw a great re-acceleration by Google Cloud. In Q2, it recorded great numbers across the board. I think what this shows is that large enterprises are buying fully into the Google Cloud value proposition. It's made huge strides there. These are AI-hungry customers who realize they've got potentially a great partner in Google Cloud.01:05 — Q2 revenue for Google Cloud was up 32% to $13.6 billion. The backlog for Google Cloud was up 38% to $106 billion. This is a number that Google Cloud has not released publicly before. It was buried deep in their numbers. But it brought it up on the earnings call. One quarter ago, it was about $90 billion. It's now at $106 billion. Billion-dollar deals surged.02:39 — It added 28% more in Q2 than it did in Q1 — huge. Again, a sense of momentum. It's bringing in new revenue, new customers, new prospects. Also, Google Cloud's parent company, Alphabet, is boosting CapEx by $10 billion for this year — up from the original $75 billion plan.03:38 — I'll be looking to see, on July 30, when Microsoft releases its numbers: did they see the same kind of growth acceleration that Google Cloud did? In Q1, Google Cloud's revenue grew 28%. This quarter, it improved to 32%. While Microsoft's cloud business is much bigger than Google Cloud, it's understandable that Google Cloud would have a higher growth rate.04:35 — Google Cloud is doing a lot of things right — from its AI-native technology and cloud infrastructure business, to what it's doing in data analytics, and the way it's forged partnerships with everybody: Oracle, SAP, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday. It's really opened it up.05:00 — It's making it easier for customers to put together the complex types of solutions needed as we move into this very different future. Hats off to Google Cloud and Thomas Kurian for a great quarter. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

 Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute — your daily cloud news and commentary show. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the “reimagination machine” that is the cloud.In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I take a closer look at SAP's Q2 cloud performance—24% revenue growth and a 22% rise in current cloud backlog—slower than past quarters, but still dramatically outpacing rivals like Highlights00:13 — One of the leaders in the Cloud Wars Top 10, SAP, has been the fastest-growing enterprise apps company for several straight quarters, far outperforming all of its competitors, which include Oracle, Workday, Salesforce, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. And they reported recently—SAP did—a very strong Q2. But there were a couple wrinkles in there.01:02 — The cloud revenue was up 24% to $6 billion. But in Q1, the growth rate was 25%, so a slight dip in the growth rate in Q2. Current cloud backlog in Q2 was 22%; that 22% is well down from Q1's 28%. It expected the backlog growth to moderate through the rest of the year. But this is a pretty big drop. It saw a re-emergence of uncertainty in the market in the second quarter.AI Agent & Copilot Summit is an AI-first event to define opportunities, impact, and outcomes with Microsoft Copilot and agents. Building on its 2025 success, the 2026 event takes place March 17-19 in San Diego. Get more details. 02:08 — He noted in the U.S., in the public sector, the DOGE impact has slowed things down a little. On the flip side, Klein said, Now, we've got some mega deals that are out there. He said, I don't think they're going to disappear, but they have been postponed . . . There's a little more rigor in getting approvals for those. But he said, I think that will come through.03:20 — I would also say that at the size that SAP is at now, it's a $24 billion run rate,r 24% growth is quite good. And this current backlog growth of 22% in itself is also very strong. But a couple of quarters ago, its backlog grew 32%, then 25%, now 22%. So it's fair to say, is a trend.04:10 — Overall, it is an interesting time now for buyers, I think more broadly, since some of this uncertainty that Klein referred to around tariffs—I think a lot of that uncertainty is going away. We just heard this announcement of the U.S. and Japan in a $550 billion deal. I think this is going to alleviate some of the concern that SAP customers expressed and that Klein referred to.

What makes AI agents actually work inside the enterprise?I had the chance to sit down with Jassim Latif, Head of Product Ecosystem at Glean, during the Glean:GO conference—and we went deep on exactly that.Jassim and his team are building more than just features—they're building the connective tissue that lets AI agents plug into the systems we all use every day. Glean already integrates with 100+ tools (think: Salesforce, Workday, Snowflake, Slack… the list goes on), and those connections are what make agents context-aware and actually helpful.A few key takeaways from our conversation: • AI isn't useful in isolation. Without integration, there's no context. Glean's approach to connectors is what breaks down the silos. • The vision is open and interoperable. That's why Glean is doubling down on partnerships and why recent integrations with Snowflake and Workday matter so much. • Glean's ecosystem isn't just growing—it's becoming a platform. Prebuilt agents, curated connectors, and opportunities for developers to build on top of it? That's the next frontier.If you're thinking about how to bring AI agents into your enterprise workflows, this is a conversation worth paying attention to.Thanks Jassim for the thoughtful discussion—and for helping bring the Glean ecosystem to life in such a powerful way.#data #ai #agents #gleango #theravitshow

Happy Friday, everyone! I've been sitting on some of these topics for a few weeks because it actually took me a couple weeks to process the implications of it all. There's no more denying what's been happening quietly behind closed doors. This week, I'm tackling the AI layoff tsunami that's making landfall. It's not a future prediction. It's already here. CEOs are openly bragging about replacing people with AI, and most employees still believe it won't affect them. But the real problem goes deeper than the layoffs. It's our blindness to the complexity of each other's work.I'll also touch on some real-world failures already emerging from rushed AI rollouts. We're not just betting big on unproven tech; we're already paying the price.With that, let's get to it.⸻CEOs Are Bragging About AI LayoffsIt's no longer whispers in the break room or rumors over lunch. Top executives are going public with their aggressive plans to eliminate jobs and replace them with AI. I explain why this shift from silence to PR spin means the decisions are already made. I'll also cover what that means for employees, HR teams, and leaders trying to stay ahead. If you think your company or your job is “different,” you need to hear this.⸻Our Biggest Vulnerability in the Age of AIBill Gates' recent comments highlight our greatest AI risk. Everyone thinks other people's jobs can be automated, but not theirs. This blind spot is the quiet fuel behind reckless automation strategies and poor tech deployments. I walk through the mindset that's making us more fragile, not more future-ready, and what it takes to lead with discernment in a world obsessed with efficiency.⸻The AI Disasters Have BegunMcDonald's just exposed sensitive candidate data. Workday is facing a lawsuit over AI-driven hiring bias. And companies are already walking back failed AI rollouts, albeit quietly. Some of the fastest-growing companies are focused on cleaning up the messes. I unpack what's gone wrong, the risks most leaders are ignoring, and how to avoid the same mistakes before you end up in cleanup mode.⸻If this one hit close to home, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who needs to hear it. Leave a review, drop a comment, and follow for weekly updates that help you lead with clarity, not chaos.—Show Notes:In this Future-Focused Weekly Update, Christopher exposes the hard truth behind the latest wave of AI-driven layoffs. He starts with a breakdown of the public statements now coming from CEOs across industries, signaling that the era of AI replacements isn't on the horizon; it's here. From there, he tackles the underlying mindset problem that's leaving teams vulnerable to poor decisions: the belief that others' jobs are expendable while ours are immune. Finally, he dissects early AI failures already creating reputational and operational risk, offering practical insight for leaders navigating the minefield of digital transformation.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction and Welcome00:50 - Today's Rundown: AI and Workforce Layoffs02:13 - CEOs Publicly Announce AI Layoffs19:25 - Bill Gates on the Future of Coding33:56 - Real-World Examples of AI Risks42:22 - Final Thoughts and Call to Action#AILayoffs #CEOsAndAI #DigitalLeadership #AIethics #HumanCenteredTech #FutureOfWork #McDonaldsAI #WorkdayLawsuit #AIstrategy #FutureFocused

In this episode, J.D. Whitlock, Chief Information Officer at Dayton Children's Hospital, discusses how a smaller pediatric health system is embracing digital transformation and generative AI while navigating resource constraints. Mr. Whitlock shares how platforms like Epic, Workday, and Microsoft are enabling innovation from within, especially through features like ambient documentation and coding assistance. With a fast-follower mindset, Dayton Children's focuses on adopting proven tools from peer organizations rather than being the first to experiment. Mr. Whitlock emphasizes the importance of balancing hard ROI with softer benefits such as improving physician satisfaction and reducing burnout. He also discusses the challenges of innovation in pediatric care, where many AI tools are still designed with adult medicine in mind. From building data infrastructure to enabling smarter imaging through a vendor-neutral archive, Mr. Whitlock highlights the importance of governance, strategic procurement, and cross-functional collaboration in delivering sustainable innovation. Take a listen.

Episode SummaryChris Varela didn't find creative ops. It found him—twice.The first time, he realized the work he was already doing had a name: solving friction between marketing and creative, protecting his teammates' time, and building systems that made the entire process more efficient, more effective—and frankly, more fun for everyone involved.The second time, his company realized it too. After years of Chris operating without a title—quietly translating between functions and elevating how work flowed—Workday came to the conclusion that this wasn't just helpful. It was a role. A needed one.In this episode, Chris and Nish explore how creative ops functions often start unofficially—through the instincts, empathy, and persistence of people like Chris. They also dig into how titles unlock collaboration, how AI is helping scale creative ops work, and how others can navigate that same journey of recognition.This episode is a guide for anyone who suspects they're doing something important—but unrecognized. And for anyone who wants to help their org see the work more clearly.Key TakeawaysYou might be doing creative ops already—whether or not your org (or you) knows it yet.Often, people recognize the impact before they recognize the role.Operating between marketing and creative is messy—but that's where value is created.Getting a title doesn't change the work. But it does change who asks for your help.Chris's story is a blueprint for turning invisible influence into visible leadership.Sometimes the first step in creative ops is helping your org recognize the role—by showing the impact you've already made.From Listening to Thinking: Is It Time to Name the Role You're Already In?Use these prompts to reflect solo—or open up space with your team:Are you doing creative ops work—but calling it something else?If your org had to describe your value in one sentence, would they get it right?What's one system or workflow you've shaped—even if unofficially?Who could benefit if your work was more visible, more named, more understood?How could your story help others name their own role—or help your org see what's missing?Guest: Chris Varela, PMP | Manager, Marketing and Creative Operations at WorkdayChris Varela didn't set out to lead creative ops—he just kept solving the right problems. First, he realized he was already doing the work. Then, over time, his organization came to the same conclusion.In this episode, he joins Nish to unpack the hidden path into creative operations—and what it looks like to help your company understand the role only after you've already been living it.

Nearly a year into his CFO role at Reltio, James Redfern still feels like he's catching up. “I've made some progress, but I'm definitely not where I… need to get,” he tells us. That steep learning curve was exactly what drew him to the company.Redfern didn't find the Reltio opportunity through recruiters. Instead, it surfaced during a casual conversation with a mentor. “I was actually looking at something else,” he recalls. “And he said, ‘Oh, if you're looking… I'm on the board of a company that's looking for a CFO.'” That kind of personal connection—what Redfern calls “psychic safety”—has guided his last two career moves. It's less about who you know casually, he tells us, and more about “people you actually have worked with.”At Reltio, Redfern stepped out of his comfort zone. After years in application-layer software companies like Workday and PayScale, he shifted into deep IT infrastructure. Reltio's platform ensures enterprise data is clean and consistent across systems—a need made more urgent by the rise of AI. “You need a reliable, unified view of your data,” he explains. “One customer equals one customer—not three different customers in three different systems.”With 190 customers and $160 million in annual recurring revenue, Reltio works with some of the world's largest enterprises. The company's mission, Redfern tells us, is to replace legacy systems like Informatica and IBM with cloud-native data unification at scale.For Redfern, the attraction wasn't the title. It was the challenge. “This is the kind of journey I committed myself to,” he says.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down the latest growth rankings among the top 10 cloud providers, highlight Google Cloud's continued lead, and show how legacy giants like Oracle and SAP are rapidly transforming into cloud powerhouses.Highlights00:15 — I wanted to share with you the latest numbers for the Cloud Wars Growth Chart, where we take a look at the growth rates of the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies. Google Cloud holds on to the number one spot. But SAP and Oracle are breathing down Google Cloud's neck. Google Cloud grew in its most recent quarter by 28%, with revenue of $12.3 billion.00:51 — Tied for second place are these two so-called legacy companies. Both grew in their most recent quarters by 27%. SAP's cloud revenue is now $5.3 billion, Oracle's $6.7 billion. Next quarter, it is likely that Oracle could well be number one on this list. But that's all the future, and we will see how that goes.01:42 — In fourth place is Microsoft, 20% growth rate on $42.4 billion in revenue. ServiceNow grew 19% as it cracked $3 billion for the first time in a quarter. AWS, 17% — $29.3 billion. Similar to what we said about Microsoft: 17% growth rate on almost $30 billion in revenue is very impressive.03:00 — Workday, up almost 14%, to $2.1 billion. Salesforce at 8%, $9.8 billion. Snowflake, up 26% to $997 million. I'm not placing Snowflake within the regular run until its quarterly revenue exceeds $1 billion. It's extremely likely that next quarter, we'll see Snowflake take its place in the regular run of companies. IBM does not report its cloud revenue anymore. I hope IBM will change that policy.04:22 — It's fascinating to see a purely built-for-the-cloud company, Google Cloud, in the number one spot. And who's behind it? Two venerable companies — mostly still in the software business completely for SAP — but Oracle now, in addition to its fast-growing cloud software business, also has a hypergrowth cloud infrastructure business.

Today, we're joined by Vijoy Pandey, SVP and general manager at Outshift by Cisco to discuss a foundational challenge for the enterprise: how do we make specialized agents from different vendors collaborate effectively? As companies like Salesforce, Workday, and Microsoft all develop their own agentic systems, integrating them creates a complex, probabilistic, and noisy environment, a stark contrast to the deterministic APIs of the past. Vijoy introduces Cisco's vision for an "Internet of Agents," a platform to manage this new reality, and its open-source implementation, AGNTCY. We explore the four phases of agent collaboration—discovery, composition, deployment, and evaluation—and dive deep into the communication stack, from syntactic protocols like A2A, ACP, and MCP to the deeper semantic challenges of creating a shared understanding between agents. Vijoy also unveils SLIM (Secure Low-Latency Interactive Messaging), a novel transport layer designed to make agent-to-agent communication quantum-safe, real-time, and efficient for multi-modal workloads.
