The biggest barrier to change has always been culture. When personal computers were new to the workplace, many employees stuffed their computer into a corner and treated it as furniture or viewed it as something for just the secretary to work with. Now it’s difficult to think of a job that doesn’t require any use of a computer. We’ve come a long way since then, but that just goes to show you that transformation rarely goes well in the workplace. In fact, most businesses are probably 50-75 years behind the times due to resisting change! The addition of AI is currently the biggest disruptor of company culture due to the massive number of layoffs affecting mostly white-collar jobs. Managers now need a little guidance on how to handle changing attitudes in the workplace. Today host Jack Russo and David White discuss the broader view of the workplace changing under AI.

Could the Titanic have avoided the fatal iceberg and completed its maiden voyage? It possibly could have been avoided if Bruce Ismay (White Star Line chairman & managing director) hadn’t ignored Captain Smith’s warnings until it was too late. Situations like this are typically why capital and management are separated in an enterprise. So, what does this have to do with Donald Trump? When Ismay stood trial in both London and New York, he didn’t have much to say outside of a why me attitude while he shifted the blame. Today host Jack Russo and Francis Wilson discuss the similar no-remorse demeanors of Bruce Ismay and Donald Trump when they stand trial.

Taxes may be the price we pay to live in a civilized society, but no one, no matter how wealthy they are, likes paying taxes. Many of us are guilty of procrastinating until the last possible moment to file taxes, possibly to the point where we completely forget and then pay a penalty on top of our taxes when we do remember. Even if we do remember, some of us simply refuse to pay and attempt to cover it up, hoping we don’t get caught. One of these happened to John Groggins, the former general counsel for Moody’s, who just admitted to failing to file taxes on $54M over the past 4 years. Today host Jack Russo and CPA, Steve Rabin debate the likelihood of the IRS’s complex tax code led to a major screw up, or if Groggins’ case is just a new case of tax evasion.

The increasing availability of artificial intelligent companions is a significant turning point in the development of services. AI’s ability to quickly draft documents or instantly find and summarize research reports will be a major help for companies since they can increase productivity while cutting down on employees. The concern over job displacement remains a significant concern overall as the need for knowledge workers who perform simpler, more repetitive tasks declines. Can we expect these employees to change gears and jumpstart a new career in small business entrepreneurship? Host Jack Russo and Yon Chung discuss what the future of the workplace will look like under the adoption of AI.

See a problem, solve a problem. This is a phrase many of us grew up hearing and can largely be considered the core of the entrepreneurial mindset. What sets an entrepreneur apart from your standard repair person is the intellectual curiosity to restructure and rebuild an entire process instead of patchwork. Bangladesh, conveniently settled between India and China, has a fast-growing economy thanks to a strong developer & freelance community, but is missing key pieces of a solid financial infrastructure. Today host Jack Russo meets Rubel Ahsan who is breaking Bangladesh away from foreign payment system dependency with Homepay, Bangladesh’s own domestic digital debit system.

Some of the biggest wealth transfers the world has ever seen are happening right now and a select few are going to profit the most from it. Elon Musk is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2028, and there are more people right behind him poised to achieve this monumental monetary achievement in the next 10-15 years. What do we do when the scale of wealth creation today exceeds that of the robber barons who controlled the railroads? We study them, of course! Today host Jack Russo and Pat Duke discuss what we can learn by studying the movements of future trillionaires and how we can try to leverage them to bolster our own bank accounts.

For a brief moment in time, astronomers were able to safely study the sun’s corona simply because it was in the perfect spot at the perfect time. As awesome as it was for us to watch, no major news organization mentioned how unbelievable it was that this happened in an ever-expanding universe. There are many things reported to us that we tend to take at face value. For instance, the media will report how many Palestinians died in Gaza, but not question the accuracy of those numbers which were provided to us from a terrorist organization. Many fundamentalistic religions promote blind faith and eschew outside thoughts as sacrilege. Critical thinking seems to be on the decline and taking offense has replaced acknowledging mistakes. Host Jack Russo and Dr. Leonard Hayflick steer us back to a becoming critically thinking society before our future falls apart.

When we talk about the bullying problem in America, we tend to focus on the children who are tormented in school or online because bullies eventually grow up and act like adults, right? Unfortunately, some bullies never learn to act like decent human beings, and they carry their crude behaviors into adulthood where it can be modeled as successful tactics to children. Between younger generations taking offense to the smallest microaggression and older generations tendencies to make brazen, hurtful comments, it’s clear that bullying is taking its toll on civilization, and it is showing up in our politics. Can we combat adult bullies before society deteriorates even further? Today host Jack Russo and Tom Casey discuss the lack of respectable leadership in both business and politics.

As much as we wish, we cannot interfere with or slow down the process of aging. What we can do is learn how to prevent and cure diseases that increase our longevity. There’s a whole industry of startup companies dedicated to pursuing a lifespan and a health span that goes to age 100 and possibly a whole lot longer. Could we really be just one major health-related scientific breakthrough from hitting age 100 with ease? Should we adjust our diet and exercise plan to make this feasible? Maybe making it to old age is just plain luck. Whatever it is, host Jack Russo and Dr. Leonard Hayflick discuss what it really takes to make it to age 100 and beyond.

How many times have you looked at your email, found an invitation to join a class action lawsuit, and wondered if it’s even worth it? While there’s usually little to no downside to joining these lawsuits, it may take years for the case to settle with a laughably minimal payout due to the large number of claimants. However, sometimes the real payoff comes in the form of programmatic relief the way it did for CPA Steve Rabin when he took on PricewaterhouseCoopers for age discrimination. Today host Jack Russo finds out how Steve Rabin opened the door for other older financial workers facing age discrimination in hiring decisions.

For years Joe Cucchiara has been stating that big changes were coming to real estate. It’s been a long time coming, but the industry is finally being forced to change and adapt to new technology. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) took a major blow today after being found guilty of artificially inflating commissions. In addition to paying $418M over the next few years, the NAR must also implement a number of systemic changes that will benefit consumers. Is this lawsuit enough to force the real estate industry to adapt to technology and begin streamlining the homebuying process to benefit consumers? Today Jack Russo joins Joe Cucchiara on Real Estate Radio Live to find out what htis loss means for the real estate industry.

Let’s face it, businesses love to show off. When you’re representing a brand, you want to show off that brand with office spaces that are clean and comfortable with all the amenities a workspace requires. Before covid ("BC") even startup companies sunk big money and effort into making their workplace attractive. Now post-COVID ("PC") hybrid workstations and shared open workstations have become standard. In fact, companies have downscaled their physical spaces since there is no need to have a giant building that sits empty most days. So what does a startup or even any size company do when it needs a meeting place that isn’t cluttered and is more private than a coffee house? Host Jack Russo sits down with Veery Offices Founders Vickey Li and Johnny Yeh to learn about flexible office spaces in Silicon Valley that companies can rent whenever they need them.

Years ago, the height of legal technology was having a keynote system that would allow you to search through printed case summaries using indexes. Thankfully the internet has made research faster and more efficient compared to scanning through yards of paper, but AI could make research even faster. When Mark Doble went to law school, he figured out he was far more interested in legal tech than practicing law. Thankfully Mark didn’t let his education go to waste when he formed Alexi – an AI based platform that understands and relays complex laws in a way that will aid lawyers through the entire legal process. Listen in as host Jack Russo puts Alexi to the test to see just how relevant it can be & how much potential it has to become the new standard for legal research.

Between the many lawsuits of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, its hard to remember if there has ever been so much news regarding state or federal litigation. The Supreme Court unsurprisingly ruled that Colorado could not remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot as we cannot have 50 states doing 50 different things in an otherwise very binary election. What people did not predict was a unanimous decision which also objected to reasoning that only Congress can address electoral college issues. Can the courts handle the massive onslaught of cases? Host Jack Russo asks Professor Rafael Chodos what more can happen in these cases and the effect they will have on future politicians.

The computer has come a long way since the 1970’s when we programmed on mainframes. Back then it was obvious that something better would come around, but did we really think computer use would become so prevalent? Today computers and the internet are used everywhere. From stores to banks, we use them to do everything from ordering food to sending our friends money after they pick up the tab. Unfortunately, criminals also know how to use and abuse computers. Not only do countries hack each other for data, but the average consumer is too often tricked into revealing sensitive information. Phishing has developed into a major issue, but luckily something we can do something about. Host Jack Russo asks Owen Wollum how companies can train their employees to detect phishing scams before it’s too late.

Can a company’s potential only be as good as its culture? A lot goes on in a workplace between hiring and firing and what happens in that company is fundamental for attracting top quality talent. One thing that has become clear since the pandemic is that companies can no longer push employees back into the office. This alone has presented a new set of obstacles as in-person interactions are still highly valuable in the workplace and younger generations may suffer from the lack of socialization and mentoring. Host Jack Russo looks to Margret Graziano and Andrew Gardiner to discuss managing a hybrid workplace that balances employee wants with company needs.

What do current college students studying product design and entrepreneurship see as to their future lifespans, healthspans, and workspans? Is it really that crazy to think that living to 100 years old and being healthy through it is a realistic probability for society’s youngest members? Though none of us can predict the future, we can safely assume that our health span and life span will increase alongside modern medicines advancements. As awesome as a longer health and lifespan sounds, a life that is both long and rich will require funding from a longer work span. Today Jack Russo heads to USF to talk to our future knowledge workers about how to create intellectual property over a long long long workspan, healthspan and lifespan.

Have the two parties of the United States ever been further apart? Collaboration and cooperation rank low on congress’ to-do list facing another election year. Despite multiple impeachments, lawsuits, and inflammatory statements, Donald Trump remains the Republican favorite to run against Joe Biden. Much of Trump’s appeal seems to be rooted in his anti-establishment views and has capitalized on congress’ history of not tackling issues. The Republican party is fractionalizing at an increasing rate under the pressure to remain loyal to the party which is only compromising the United States’ ability to evolve. Is there any way to bring the country back together? Today host Jack Russo and Russ Irwin (Patriot/Activist) breakdown the current political field and look to AI as a springboard for diplomacy.

Is there any factor more important to evolution than forward-looking collaboration? Whether it’s family, society, business, or politics, leaders are needed to bring people together and inspire them to work towards a single goal. However, there is one major drawback to mass collaboration – and it hurts those with the most power. The more information and resources a CEO shares (especially in a knowledge worker environment), the more his or her power is diminished. On the other hand, keeping information secret among a small group of officials prevents the company from co-creating and being competitive. Is there any way for leaders to win? Today host Jack Russo and Tom Casey look at Congress' unwillingness to collaborate and compare it to Gen X leaders who are ready to collaborate as they move into senior positions.

It doesn’t matter if you work for a boutique company or the biggest, most well-known global organization, when the numbers don’t add up, the unfortunate answer could be embezzlement. Over in New Jersey, John Dunlea and his wife Nicole Alexander were charged with embezzling more than $1.5M from the McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter law firm over the last 5 years where they both held financial roles. The couples’ scheme was found to be guilty of failure to pay taxes and theft by deception in which they gave themselves bonuses and charged personal flights and more to the law firm. With tax season just getting started, host Jack Russo and CPA Steve Rabin discuss better accounting and payroll practices, and training staff to catch phishing scams that target big firms.
