    Friday Coffee Talks #142 - Team Travel and AI Tools

    Friday Coffee Talks — I’m back after way too long (and yes… today it’s an energy drink, not coffee).  Quick catch-up on family travel, the return of “good sports season,” and why team kickoffs get a bad rap—but can be insanely valuable. Then we get into the main topic: AI tools for real business productivity, why prompting matters, and how roles will shift as AI becomes embedded in day-to-day work. #FridayCoffeeTalks #FCT #AI #PromptEngineering #Sales #Productivity Thanks for listening!

    Friday Coffee Talks #141 - Starbucks, Jackets, and Asking for Help

    Conner's back after way too long with a major Starbucks betrayal (RIP Apple Crisp macchiato), Georgia Tech going 4-0, and his 9-year-old crushing everyone in fantasy football with legendary trash talk. Plus: a magical NYC family trip with an unexpected Kenan Thompson sighting, why there's no such thing as a great salesperson, and the career wisdom that changed everything after nearly a year at AWS. Sometimes the best advice comes from admitting what you don't know. #FridayCoffeeTalks #FCT #Sales #AWS #GeorgiaTech #FantasyFootball Thanks for listening!

    Friday Coffee Talks #140 - The Masters, F1, and an Accidental Sales Win

    Welcome to Episode 140 of Friday Coffee Talks —where I blend business lessons with whatever’s brewing (literally and figuratively). This week: - I reflect on the magic of The Masters and why even non-golf fans can’t help but get swept up in it. - I shares my thoughts on the Braves’ rocky start and a quick shoutout to Formula 1, all while managing to stay mostly caffeinated. - Plus—a surprisingly valuable lesson from a mistakenly-sent sales email. (Hint: “Best regards,” with no name somehow performed better than anything else this month.) If you’re in sales, marketing, or just need a lighthearted reset before the weekend, this one’s for you. Grab your coffee, enjoy the ride, and maybe… don’t overthink your next outreach email. ☕⛳ #Sales #Marketing #CoffeeTalks #TheMasters #LinkedInContent #PersonalBrand #FridayCoffeeTalks #FCT Thanks for listening!

    Friday Coffee Talks #136 - Fall in Atlanta

    Friday Coffee Talks #136 - Temperatures have fallen below the surface of the sun, football starts tomorrow, and Fall drinks are back at Starbucks! It's the best time of the year in the opinion of one podcast host and I'll tell you why.

    Friday Coffee Talks #135 - Fallon Round 2

    Friday Coffee Talks #135 - We loved it so much the first time that we just had to do it again. Today's episode talks about our experience watching the Olympics so far and then I put a camera and mic on my 7-year-old and we all get to see what came out. Back to school, sleepovers at Grandparents, and even a sing-a-long. Enjoy the second go-round with Fallon! #FridayCoffeeTalks #FCT #podcast #BacktoSchool #Olympics Thanks for listening!
