What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Anna Aubuchon, VP of Operations at Civic Technologies.(00:00) - Intro (01:15) - In This Episode (04:15) - How AI Flipped the Build Versus Buy Decision (07:13) - Redrawing What “Complex” Means (12:20) - Why In House AI Provides Better Economics And Control (15:33) - How to Treat AI as an Insourcing Engine (21:02) - Moving BI Workloads Out of Dashboards and Into LLMs (31:37) - Guardrails That Keep AI Querying Accurate (38:18) - Using Role Based AI Guardrails Across MCP Servers (44:43) - Ops People are Creators of Systems Rather Than Maintainers of Them (48:12) - Why Natural Language AI Lowers the Barrier for First-Time Builders (52:31) - Technical Literacy Requirements for Next Generation Operators (56:46) - Why Creative Practice Strengthens Operational Leadership Summary: AI has reshaped how operators work, and Anna lays out that shift with the clarity of someone who has rebuilt real systems under pressure. She breaks down how old build versus buy habits hold teams back, how yearly AI contracts quietly drain momentum, and how modern integrations let operators assemble powerful workflows without engineering bottlenecks. She contrasts scattered one-off AI tools with the speed that comes from shared patterns that spread across teams. Her biggest story lands hard. Civic replaced slow dashboards and long queues with orchestration that pulls every system into one conversational layer, letting people get answers in minutes instead of mornings. That speed created nerves around sensitive identity data, but tight guardrails kept the team safe without slowing anything down. Anna ends by pushing operators to think like system designers, not tool babysitters, and to build with the same clarity her daughter uses when she describes exactly what she wants and watches the system take shape.About AnnaAnna Aubuchon is an operations executive with 15+ years building and scaling teams across fintech, blockchain, and AI. As VP of Operations at Civic Technologies, she oversees support, sales, business operations, product operations, and analytics, anchoring the company's growth and performance systems.She has led blockchain operations since 2014 and built cross-functional programs that moved companies from early-stage complexity into stable, scalable execution. Her earlier roles at Gyft and Thomson Reuters focused on commercial operations, enterprise migrations, and global team leadership, supporting revenue retention and major process modernization efforts.How AI Flipped the Build Versus Buy DecisionAI tooling has shifted so quickly that many teams are still making decisions with a playbook written for a different era. Anna explains that the build versus buy framework people lean on carries assumptions that no longer match the tool landscape. She sees operators buying AI products out of habit, even when internal builds have become faster, cheaper, and easier to maintain. She connects that hesitation to outdated mental models rather than actual technical blockers.AI platforms keep rolling out features that shrink the amount of engineering needed to assemble sophisticated workflows. Anna names the layers that changed this dynamic. System integrations through MCP act as glue for data movement. Tools like n8n and Lindy give ops teams workflow automation without needing to file tickets. Then ChatGPT Agents and Cloud Skills launched with prebuilt capabilities that behave like Lego pieces for internal systems. Direct LLM access removed the fear around infrastructure that used to intimidate nontechnical teams. She describes the overall effect as a compression of technical overhead that once justified buying expensive tools.She uses Civic's analytics stack to illustrate how she thinks about the decision. Analytics drives the company's ability to answer questions quickly, and modern integrations kept the build path light. Her team built the system because it reinforced a core competency. She compares that with an AI support bot that would need to handle very different audiences with changing expectations across multiple channels. She describes that work as high domain complexity that demands constant tuning, and the build cost would outweigh the value. Her team bought that piece. She grounds everything in two filters that guide her decisions: core competency and domain complexity.Anna also calls out a cultural pattern that slows AI adoption. Teams buy AI tools individually and create isolated pockets of automation. She wants teams to treat AI workflows as shared assets. She sees momentum building when one group experiments with a workflow and others borrow, extend, or remix it. She believes this turns AI adoption into a group habit rather than scattered personal experiments. She highlights the value of shared patterns because they create a repeatable way for teams to test ideas without rebuilding from scratch.She closes by urging operators to update their decision cycle. Tooling is evolving at a pace that makes six month old assumptions feel stale. She wants teams to revisit build versus buy questions frequently and to treat modern tools as a prompt to redraw boundaries rather than defend old ones. She frames it as an ongoing practice rather than a one time decision.Key takeaway: Reassess your build versus buy decisions every quarter by measuring two factors. First, identify whether the workflow strengthens a core competency that deserves internal ownership. Second, gauge the domain complexity and decide whether the function needs constant tuning or specialized expertise. Use modern integration layers, workflow builders, and direct LLM access to assemble internal systems quickly. Build the pieces that reinforce your strengths, buy the pieces that demand specialized depth, and share internal workflows so other teams can expand your progress.Why In House AI Provides Better Economics And ControlAI tooling has grown into a marketplace crowded with vendors who promise intelligence, automation, and instant transformation. Anna watches teams fall into these patterns with surprising ease. Many of the tools on the market run the same public models under new branding, yet buyers often assume they are purchasing deeply specialized systems trained on inaccessible data. She laughs about driving down the 101 and seeing AI billboards every few minutes, each one selling a glossy shortcut to operational excellence. The overcrowding makes teams feel like they should buy something simply because everyone else is buying something, and that instinct shifts AI procurement from a strategic decision into a reflex."A one year agreement might as well be a decade in AI right now."Anna has seen how annual vendor contracts slow companies down. The moment a team commits to a year long agreement, the urgency to evaluate alternatives vanishes. They adopt a “set it and forget it” mindset because the tool is already purchased, the budget is already allocated, and the contract already sits in legal. AI development moves fast. Contract cycles do not. That mismatch creates friction that becomes expensive, especially when new models launch every few weeks and outperform the ones you purchased only months earlier. Teams do not always notice the cost of stagnation because it creeps in quietly.Anna lays out a practical build versus buy framework. Teams should inspect whether the capability touches their core competency, their customer experience, or their strategic distinctiveness. If it does, then in house AI provides more long term value. It lets the company shape the model around real customer patterns. It keeps experimentation in motion instead...

"I Have Failed You": What Augie Garrido's Rant Actually Teaches About Coaching Kids Deven recaps the ABCA Youth Summit in Austin, revealing Pitch Smart 2.0 is actively being developed by MLB with universal pitch counts and app-based reporting. The coalition includes PBR, Perfect Game, and Little League, with cross-platform tracking for workload, coach certifications, and ejection histories. New Aspen Institute data exposes the crisis: a 6.9% gap between new players (41% annually) and kids who quit (35%)—a dangerously thin margin. Deven connects this to travel baseball Instagram jokes and MLB injury data (60%+ UCL surgeries on high schoolers and younger), arguing the sport faces a death spiral if public perception remains "injurious and family-hostile." He shares insights from visiting UT Austin with Coach Schloss, Tulo, and Coach Box: multi-sport matters for solving different athletic problems not acquiring skills, SEC coaches "coach the PO out of pitchers" for athleticism, and "season logistics are your kid's growth plate." Deven introduces UT's hero-hardship-highlight trust-building exercise and unpacks Augie Garrido's famous rant, focusing on the accountability line "I have failed you" rather than criminalizing kids' mistakes. The episode closes with self-assessment feedback loops using Jay Fletcher's viral 4-year-old videos, contrasting feedback-driven environments with forcing kids into Don Mattingly mechanics they lack the strength to execute.Timestamps00:00 – Intro, AxeBat code & new local training partnerships02:56 – ABCA Summit recap: Pitch Smart 2.0 in progress with MLB10:08 – Workload units, universal reporting & cross-platform coalition17:45 – The 6.9% gap: 41% new, 35% quit—leaky bucket crisis22:01 – Travel baseball moms, injury stats & death spiral threat27:25 – Fastpitch 300+ pitches: fatigue doesn't care about gender30:17 – Average umpire age 47: no next generation coming31:57 – UT visit: Schloss, Box, Tulo on multi-sport & athleticism38:52 – "They coach the PO out"—why 12U specialists are backwards41:04 – "Season logistics are your kid's growth plate"44:28 – Hero-hardship-highlight: vulnerability builds trust47:00 – Augie Garrido: "I have failed you" accountability lesson53:41 – Self-assessment feedback vs. criminalizing mistakes01:02:11 – Don Mattingly mechanics vs. feedback-driven environments01:05:01 – Outro: guest coming, training optionsLinksStart training with Driveline now with Academy Flex:https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/Develop bat speed with our Youth Power Bat for just $99!https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/Skills That Scale: The Complete Youth Baseball Training Manual is out now!https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/Train bat speed and barrel accuracy with our Youth Underload Smash bat - just $79!https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/⬇️ Host ⬇️Deven Morgan https://twitter.com/devenmorgan

AWS's approach to Elastic Kubernetes Service has evolved significantly since its 2018 launch. According to Mike Stefanik, Senior Manager of Product Management for EKS and ECR, today's users increasingly represent the late majority—teams that want Kubernetes without managing every component themselves. In a conversation onThe New Stack Makers, Stefanik described how AI workloads are reshaping Kubernetes operations and why AWS open-sourced an MCP server for EKS. Early feedback showed that meaningful, task-oriented tool names—not simple API mirrors—made MCP servers more effective for LLMs, prompting AWS to design tools focused on troubleshooting, runbooks, and full application workflows. AWS also introduced a hosted knowledge base built from years of support cases to power more capable agents.While “agentic AI” gets plenty of buzz, most customers still rely on human-in-the-loop workflows. Stefanik expects that to shift, predicting 2026 as the year agentic workloads move into production. For experimentation, he recommends the open-source Strands SDK. Internally, he has already seen major productivity gains from BI agents that automate complex data analysis tasks.Learn more from The New Stack about Amazon Web Services' approach to Elastic Kubernetes ServiceHow Amazon EKS Auto Mode Simplifies Kubernetes Cluster Management (Part 1)A Deep Dive Into Amazon EKS Auto (Part 2)Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Featuring Heather & Douglas Boneparth, authors of Money Together What really happens when love, money, ambition—and sometimes resentment—share the same address? In this deeply honest and refreshingly candid episode of Insight Is Capital, host Pierre Daillie sits down with Heather and Douglas Boneparth, the powerhouse couple behind Bone Fide Wealth and co-authors of the bestselling book Money Together. Heather's journey from corporate attorney to financial storyteller and Doug's rise as one of today's most recognizable financial planners form the backdrop for a conversation that goes far beyond spreadsheets. They open up about the real dynamics inside modern relationships: shifting power, unseen labor, income imbalances, ambition, fairness, and the emotional landmines that determine whether couples thrive—or quietly fracture. Key TakeawaysHeather and Doug reveal how unspoken expectations, shifting power dynamics, and invisible workloads slowly erode trust when couples aren't talking honestly about what's changing in their lives.True fairness means “making room” for each other—emotionally, professionally, and financially—as needs, seasons, and capacities evolve.Quarterly money dates, honesty about risk tolerance, and a willingness to stretch outside comfort zones create the compounding effect that strengthens relationships over decades.This episode is a must-watch for couples, advisors, and anyone seeking a healthier, more intentional relationship with money—and with each other.
"Fleet management isn't about vehicle counts—it's about aligning your people, your processes, and your places. Get that wrong, and your whole operation wobbles."In this powerful keynote from RTA's Connect 2025 conference, veteran fleet consultant Tony Yankovich challenges the outdated notion of fleet right-sizing as merely reducing the number of vehicles. Drawing from over 30 years in the industry, Tony walks the audience through the evolution of fleet optimization from a data-driven numbers game into a holistic, operations-focused strategy. He introduces a new model of right-sizing that integrates three essential pillars: workload, workforce, and workplace.By the end of the session, Tony arms fleet managers with actionable insights on how to build resilient, efficient, and future-ready operations—whether you manage your own shop or outsource maintenance. This session is a must-listen for any fleet leader facing pressure to reduce costs without compromising service levels or operational readiness.Key Takeaways:Right-sizing is more than reducing vehicle counts—it's about optimizing workload, workforce, and workplace together.AEUs (Asset Equivalent Units) provide a quantifiable framework to evaluate true maintenance burden.Misalignment among the 3Ws (Workload, Workforce, Workplace) leads to inefficiencies and reduced fleet availability.Real-world examples show how poor shop layouts or overextended staff can quietly erode performance.Tony makes the case for slack time, strategic staffing, and right-sized facilities to unlock innovation and improve wrench time. Speaker Bio:Tony Yankovich is a nationally recognized fleet consultant and keynote speaker with over three decades in public works and fleet operations. His deep operational knowledge and hands-on consulting experience have helped government and enterprise fleets across the country modernize, centralize, and optimize their maintenance programs. Tony is a frequent contributor to RTA content and a trusted voice in the Fleet Success movement.

Dive into groundbreaking research on the transition from caseload to workload models in school-based OT with Stanbridge University MOT students Jalen, Michelle, Jared, and Ari. Their nationwide survey revealed striking results: practitioners using a workload model reported significantly lower burnout scores compared to those using a caseload model and majority strongly agreeing that the workload approach reduces stress levels.The students' research identified key barriers to making this transition—primarily lack of administrative support and scheduling conflicts—while highlighting successful facilitators including peer support and improved collaboration with teachers. Their findings emphasize the importance of data collection for advocacy, suggesting that tracking time spent on indirect services provides compelling evidence when approaching administrators about workload changes.This episode offers practical insights for school-based OTs feeling overwhelmed, with recommendations to start small by tracking weekly time usage and increasing teacher collaboration. Listen now to discover how transitioning to a workload model can transform your practice, reducing burnout while improving service quality and student outcomes.Listen now to learn the following objectives:Listeners will compare the impact of caseload versus workload models on therapist burnout, stress levels, and job satisfaction.Listeners will identify key barriers and facilitators to transitioning from a caseload to workload approach.Listeners will identify practical strategies for initiating a workload approach.

Recently, I read this article about why VCF is the best platform for modern workloads, so I figured I would invite the author, Jad El-Zein. Jad and I discuss all the arguments of why VCF and all components are the perfect destination for containers, or I should probably say your modern workloads.
Workflow designs are intended to make things easier for employees. However, all too often, workflow designs become too complex, complicated, and convoluted. As a result, they can lead to stress and burnout. In this episode, Dr. Grajdek explores workflow designs through the lens of cognitive load theory as it applies to everyday work. She highlights variables such as click audits, number of fields, handoffs, and rework to identify “superfluous cognitive load.” Dr. Grajdek suggests focusing on defaults, templates, and single sources of truth as a solution to problematic workflow designs. Finally, she helps leaders to learn when to kill features and re-design workflow. Tune in to learn more.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I delve into OpenAI's $38 billion partnership with AWS, giving Amazon a major role in powering and scaling OpenAI's AI workloads.Highlights0:03 — OpenAI and AWS have announced a multi‑year strategic partnership valued at $38 billion for AWS. This deal will enable AWS to provide the infrastructure necessary to support the operation and scaling of OpenAI's AI workloads. OpenAI is currently utilising computing resources through AWS, which include hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs and the capability to scale up to tens of millions of CPUs.01:02 — The infrastructure rollout for OpenAI includes architecture optimised for maximum AI processing efficiency and performance, with clusters designed to support a variety of workloads such as inference for ChatGPT and model training. This latest deal is yet another staggering example of the demand for AI services — a demand that companies like OpenAI must invest billions in to keep up with the pace.01:55 — OpenAI recently signed several significant deals with technology partners, including a remarkable $300 billion agreement with Oracle. While that figure might seem outrageous, it puts the $38 billion into a more relatable context. One thing is clear: wherever you stand in the AI revolution, whatever your role is — just make sure that you have one, because this unprecedented growth is touching every corner of the business world.

SLP burnout isn't a personal failure; it's a systems problem. In this episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, talk with researchers Dr. Tobias Kroll (Texas Tech) and Phuong Palafox, SLP, about their study, “The Invisible Workload of School-Based SLPs.” We cover why SLPs are advocating (and being ignored), how caseload vs. workload, siloed roles, and “martyr culture” fuel overwhelm, and where leadership and IDEA compliance pressure go off the rails. You'll hear practical wins that work now, and bigger-picture fixes universities and national orgs must lead. If you've ever been told to “practice self-care” while your schedule balloons, this conversation gives language, evidence, and steps to push back... together.

“The line between AI workload and non-AI workload is getting blurrier by the day.” Prasad Kalyanaraman, VP of AWS Infrastructure Services, talks with Anurag Rana, Senior Technology Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, about what actually changes as AI scales. Prasad lays out the realities behind “AI data centers”: denser accelerators, non-blocking training networks, and modular in-chip liquid cooling. Underneath, the data-center basic priorities hold -— security as job zero, plus availability, performance, and cost. He also explains why clusters must be fungible between training and inference so accelerators and power never sit idle, and how AWS retrofits existing regions rather than treating AI as a separate build.

How are you doing? No, really, how are you doing? Guest Chris Newbold is not only the COO of ALPS Insurance – a leader in malpractice insurance for solo and small legal practices – he's also a recognized driver in the nationwide movement to ensure well-being in the legal profession. Over the past decade, there's been a focus on mental health, stress, and substance abuse in the profession. Meeting deadlines, satisfying clients, and the sometimes-confrontational nature of the job can take a toll, especially on lawyers in small practices or rural area where support can be lacking. Newbold shares insights from ALPS' recent report, “The State of the Solo: Positive Trends in Solo Attorney Well-Being,” which he helped deliver. The study made a special effort to include small and rural practices. A healthy lawyer is a good lawyer, Newbold says. Taking care of yourself helps you better serve your clients. Questions or ideas about solo and small practices? Drop us a line at NewSolo@legaltalknetwork.com Topics: Attorneys in solo or small firms are uniquely susceptible to the effects of stress. It's a hard job. But the right tech, paired with a mindful approach and managed workload, can reduce that stress. Taking care of yourself ultimately benefits your clients. Practicing in a solo or small firm or in rural areas can have its benefits, and surveys show those attorneys are finding job satisfaction and taking time off when needed. But there are also unique stresses and the potential to feel alone or overburdened. Workload and cash flow are among the biggest stressors facing attorneys. Stress can lead to mistakes (and malpractice), so be mindful of where you are and how much you can handle. If you own your own practice, don't let your practice own you.
