    Just Do-it Right: Season One Episode Ten Talent Acquisition and Up Skilling in the AI Era with guest Mark Cucinelli

    Episode 10: Talent Acquisition and Upskilling in the AI Era (feat. Mark Cucinelli) How do you navigate the massive cultural friction happening across engineering teams in the AI Era? In our Season 1 finale, host Johnathan Keith sits down with talent acquisition expert Mark Cucinelli to focus on the most complex, unpredictable component of your AI strategy: your people. This episode dives deep into why organizations must treat AI as an augmentation rather than an automation. Mark explains why tech leaders should redefine AI as a co-pilot instead of a competitor, emphasizing that employees are more willing to embrace change when they are part of the solution. We also break down the "buy versus build" dilemma for AI talent, proving why it is much more economical to upskill your current team rather than paying premium agency fees for outside "unicorns". Key Takeaways in this Episode: Why redefining AI as a co-pilot creates a necessary safety net for your team. How to foster open dialogue so employees feel welcomed into the AI transition. The massive financial and cultural benefits of upskilling internal staff instead of hunting for external prompt engineers. Actionable advice for updating hiring practices and aligning engineering outcomes with talent acquisition.

    Just Do-it Right: Season One Episode Nine Making Proprietary Data Ready for LLMs with guest Tim Averill

    Episode 9: The Hidden Risks of Fine-Tuning AI: Protecting Enterprise Secrets (feat. Tim Averill) This episode explores the critical issue of data permanence in fine-tuning large language models (LLMs). Host Johnathan Keith interviews Tim Averill, founder of Averill Consulting, about data sanitization, security risks, and the definitive best practices for protecting enterprise secrets in AI development. Tim breaks down why deleting data from a model leaves a "liability specter" and why organizations must treat fine-tuning as an exotic choice, prioritizing RAG first. Stop relying on basic access controls and learn how to proactively sanitize your data before it is permanently baked into your AI.

    Trailer: AI Tools for Faster, Better Products (feat. Tim Averill) AI won't replace your top engineers—it will give them superpowers! The technology landscape is shifting rapidly, with tools like Claude Code now coding faster than 98% of the developers on the planet. But raw speed doesn't automatically equal success. In this sneak peek of Episode 9 of the Just Do It Right podcast, we sit down with Tim Averill, CTO of Averill Consulting, to explore how to harness that speed to push better products to your customers. We are breaking down how to define clear objectives for business efficacy, why you need to integrate the right AI tools instead of just the shiniest ones, and why human cognitive thinking and judgment are still absolutely required to scale these technologies effectively. 📅 The full conversation drops June, 26th, 2026.

    Just Do-it Right: Season One Episode Eight Cloud Architecture - Designing for Failure and Business Continuity with guest Jon Krasniqi

    Episode 8: Cloud Architecture: Designing for Business Continuity In the cloud, 100% uptime is a myth—so why are so many enterprises still relying on fragile "Lift and Shift" migrations? Moving broken, monolithic architecture to the cloud without a plan to modernize it doesn't build resilience; it just sets you up for highly available failures. In Episode 8 of the Just Do-it Right podcast, we sit down with Jon Krasniqi, Head of Cloud Operations for Revology, to deliver the definitive playbook on enterprise cloud strategy. We are tearing down the myth that simply hosting legacy applications on modern infrastructure guarantees business continuity. Instead, we explore the gritty reality of designing for failure. Jon breaks down the Migration 7 R's (Rehost, Replatform, Repurchase, Refactor, Retire, Retain), dives into the power of decoupling, and explains exactly why rapid refactoring is the absolute critical step to achieving true fault tolerance. Stop treating downtime as an unpredictable disaster and start engineering systems that expect it. If you want to stop patching legacy systems and start building bulletproof cloud environments, this episode is your blueprint. You cannot build resilient systems with a fragile engineering culture! This week on the Just Do-it Right podcast, we are absolutely thrilled to be joined by Jon Krasniqi, Head of Cloud Operations at Revology, to discuss why true cloud resiliency starts with your people. While we dive deep into the technical weeds of micro-services and multi-region deployments, the core of this episode is all about shifting mindsets. Jan explains how to adopt principles from Extreme Ownership, successfully introduce Chaos Engineering into your architecture without causing a panic, and build a truly "blameless culture" where teams learn from catastrophic failures instead of hiding them. It is time to design your systems—and your teams—to expect failures and bounce back stronger than ever! Key Topics We Cover: The Myth of 100% Uptime Understanding MTBF vs. MTTR Escaping the Trap of "Lift and Shift" Leveraging Micro-services for Resilience Navigating the Multi-Cloud Dilemma Fostering a Blameless Culture & Building a Resilient Playbook Guest Links & Resources for Your Research: Connect with Jon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-krasniqi Learn more about Revolgy: https://www.linkedin.com/company/revolgy Book Recommendation - Extreme Ownership: https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U.S-Navy-SEAL/dp/1250067057 AWS Well-Architected Framework: https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/ Chaos Engineering Tools (Chaos Monkey, Gremlin): https://github.com/Netflix/chaosmonkey Kubernetes Chaos Engineering (Litmus, Chaos Mesh): https://litmuschaos.io/ Terraform for Infrastructure as Code: https://www.terraform.io/

    Just Do-it Right: Season One Episode Seven AI Adoption and Proprietary Data Readiness with guest Herve Jean-Baptiste

    Are you rushing to deploy Generative AI on top of messy, unstructured, legacy databases? If your underlying data architecture is broken, buying an expensive LLM won’t give you AI innovation—it will just generate confident hallucinations at scale. In Episode 7 of the Just Do-it Right podcast, we sit down with Herve Jean-Baptiste to tackle the harsh reality of enterprise AI adoption. We are cutting through the vendor hype to discuss the grueling, unglamorous backend work that must happen before you even think about fine-tuning a model with your proprietary data. Inside this episode, we cover: The Data Cleanup: Why sanitizing and structuring your proprietary data is the non-negotiable first step to any AI initiative. Breaking Silos: How isolated legacy systems will completely derail your LLM implementation. The Cost of Rushing: Why skipping "data readiness" leads to massive cloud expenditures and zero business value. The Readiness Blueprint: How to honestly assess your organization's data maturity and the exact steps to get your house in order today. Stop trying to build a cutting-edge AI strategy on a shaky legacy foundation. It is time to get your proprietary data ready.
