    #7 - The Efficiency Illusion: What Everyone Gets Wrong About AI and Automation

    In this episode, I share a hard-earned lesson from years in data analysis, business systems, and AI workflows: If you automate a mess, you just make a mess faster. We dive deep into why clean, simple workflows should always come before automation or AI integration. From real-world examples like PDF data extraction, CRM integrations, and dashboard pitfalls, Nate explains how the illusion of efficiency can derail businesses and lead to bad decisions. Learn why simplifying your systems first — not jumping straight to automation — is the real cheat code for sustainable growth. Key Topics Covered: Why working from spreadsheets > PDFs when building AI workflows The dangers of automating broken processes Black box models vs explainable models Clean automation principles (hint: simple wins) How bad data kills AI insights How to design scalable business systems BEFORE adding AI Real-world examples from product development and CRM integrations Why simplicity actually scales Takeaway: Automation and AI are incredible tools — but they can’t fix broken systems. Start by simplifying your workflows, cleaning your data, and thinking critically before layering on automation. If you're into automation, AI tools, or building content with smart workflows, this one’s for you. 🔗 Sign up for our newsletter 🔗 Watch the full video on YouTube with screen share.

    #2 - 4 Things to Keep In Mind When Assuming a New Leadership Role

    There is no handbook on how to approach a new position or a new organization. You want to simultaneously prove your value but also not blow everything up. So how do you strike that balance. In this episode I talk about the last 3 months of work for me as I have transitioned into a new IT leadership role at a non-profit organization. This was a pretty big change for me going from a small software start-up company to a large non-profit. It has been an eye opening and challenging experience. In this episode I talk about 4 key areas of focus that have helped me stay the course and be intentional about my first 3 months. Maybe some of these resonate with you and will help you in your career right now or when it comes time for your transition.
