  EP 54 Vistage and The CEO Peer Group Advantage

  May 4, 202616 minS0

  <p>The hardest part of leadership is not the big decision, it’s making it when you have nowhere safe to think out loud. We sit down with Andy Scott, a Vistage chair in the San Francisco Bay Area, to unpack why peer advisory groups have become a quiet advantage for CEOs and senior executives who want better judgment, stronger teams, and real accountability without hidden agendas. If you’ve ever felt the weight of “lonely at the top,” this conversation gives you a clear picture of how trust and confidentiality actually function inside a high-performing CEO peer group.<br/><br/>We a...

  EP 53A Claude Interviews me: Teach Your AI To Push Back Until Your Real Voice Shows Up

  Mar 26, 202617 minS0

  <p>You can’t stand out online with the same polished lines everyone else uses. Claude turns the tables and interviews me about what actually happens when you try to “sound more human” with AI and why most people fail on the first try: they serve the boardroom version of themselves. We unpack the cliché laundering problem, where AI doesn’t fix generic messaging it can amplify it unless you explicitly train it to challenge your answers, call out platitudes, and push for what the customer would care about.<br/><br/>From there, we move into the hard part of storytell...

  EP 53 Marketing That Sticks: Using The Von Restorff Effect To Get Noticed And Remembered

  Mar 26, 202623 minS0

  <p>When everything looks the same, your brain tunes it out. When something is different, it gets noticed and remembered. That's the von Restorff effect, and it explains a lot about why most LinkedIn content gets ignored.</p><p>This matters right now because AI is making everything look the same. </p><p>I told Nancy that every client I work with insists they need an image on their LinkedIn post. </p><p>And I ask them why. Because it needs to stand out. But a stock photo of four diverse people smiling around a laptop doesn't stand out. Neither do...

  EP 52 How AI Shrinks Legal Research From Hours To Minutes

  Mar 24, 202632 minS0

  <p>AI doesn’t feel like a new app anymore. It feels like a new coworker and sometimes a brutally honest one. I sit down with Damien Riehl, a lawyer since 2002 and a product builder at Clio, to map what’s changing right now in legal work, sales work, and everyday leadership as AI accelerates from “helpful tool” to “full workflow.” <br/><br/>Damien breaks down Clio’s legal technology and Vincent, an AI system designed for legal research and document analysis that’s grounded in real law data. We talk about why “no prompt necessary” is the next big leap, how that alters...

  Ep 51 Claude Was My Guest Talking About AI As A Thinking Partner

  Mar 20, 202619 minS0

  <p>My Claude AI walks onto the show as the guest and we keep it fully unscripted. Not a demo, not a parlor trick, but a real conversation about what leaders are missing when they say they’re “comfortable with AI” while only using it to write emails or summarize docs. I’m joined by Claude, using a generated voice with full transparency, to talk about the difference between getting answers and building an actual working relationship with a thinking partner.<br/><br/>We get concrete about what makes AI genuinely useful at the executive level: persistent context. We break down how...
