February 24, 2024 02:16 - 18 minutes - 25.1 MBAs companies shift heavily towards “skills-based hiring” to remove bias, we now see the unintended consequence.

Why Do Companies Hire Too Many People? And What About Meta's Earnings?
February 03, 2024 18:25 - 22 minutes - 31.6 MBThis week Meta (Facebook) announced revenue growth of 25% year over year and a headcount cut of 22%, with net income soaring to $14 billion, almost a 35% net profit. That spectacular outcome is a result of focus and a clear and rigorous process of reducing headcount. But the big story is not this company, it's the big idea that companies often over-hire. And this over-hiring results in bureaucracy, slowdown, and loss of innovation. Just as Meta has learned this, I believe every company has t...

December 16, 2023 18:00 - 20 minutes - 26.8 MBAs I look back on the year and think about all the challenges we face in business, I'm reminded of the simple human formula of how we care for each other.

November 26, 2023 15:59 - 25 minutes - 32.5 MBI bet you're an expert at something. We all are. But how will it feel when a Generative AI becomes deeper and more expert than we are? In this podcast I describe what an "Expert" really is, and why Gen AI has the potential to totally change the market for Experts: not only HR consultants, but lawyers, accountants, scientists, and more.

Why Businesses Must Focus On Inclusion And Diversity, Especially Now
November 04, 2023 18:42 - 23 minutes - 32.9 MBIn this podcast I draw the line from cancel culture to Israel to DEI to business performance. And the argument I make is that despite the challenges we face in the political and culture wars, we, in business, have to do away with these behaviors and focus on building a meritocracy, a culture of open, socratic debate, and a focus on "trusted data." A business, unlike a society, relies on trusted data, a common set of values, and the opportunity to decide how decisions are made. Despite the cu...

What Can We Learn From Elon Musk?
September 16, 2023 19:09 - 20 minutes - 27 MBThis week Walter Isaacson's book came out, so I wanted to give you my thoughts.

August 27, 2023 00:35 - 22 minutes - 29.2 MBIn this podcast I discuss the continued growth and confusion in the Generative AI market, and explain how the "AI stack" is still immature, making it difficult for application vendors to deliver on the promise quite yet.

As with any new technology platform, this massive shift will take time and the shakeout has yet to occur. Google's announcemen...
