  1. 40 Years a Cop, Now He Plots Their Days

    40 Years a Cop, Now He Plots Their Days

    •  Brian Brady is creating a multi-part detective series •  “As a native San Franciscan, I enjoy writing about my favorite city”  Remember Nash Bridges? How about the Continental Op?  Sam Spade? Or, surely, Dirty Harry.  All were — or are — fictional detectives working the crime beats of San Francisco. They were created by authors who set new standards for the genre, including Dashiell Hammett who could be considered the foundational author of detectives and the “city by the bay.” It might be time to add Brian Brady to the list of authors who have picked the hilly and often foggy streets of San Francisco as the locale for their books. But unlike many of the other authors, Mr. Brady knows real crime and the real streets of San Francisco.   He’s been a cop and even chief of policies suburban Novato.  Add a stint as head of security for NBC Universal in Hollywood and you have a background that has now created two San Francisco-based crime thrillers with a third headed into its final editing. His new book is “Hiding in Plain Sight, (Palmetto Publishing, April 2024).  It is the second of a planned trilogy as he develops his characters and plots. The first book is “Oh. What a Tangled Web.” “As a native San Franciscan, I enjoy writing about my favorite city,” Mr. Brady write. “The city is rich in architecture, sports, tradition, and characters.” He says his characters are based on real people with a bit of literary license.

    Solving the rainmaker’s dilemma

    • Why the business owner might be the biggest problem • How to get out of the way of success   (Total Recorded Time is 21:00)    HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Bradley Hamner says he’s seen it again and again – entrepreneurs who’ve built their companies into firms generating a six-figure top line, but which seem stuck, unable to grow much larger.   A serial entrepreneur and founder of the BlueprintOS program, Mr. Hamner coaches other small business owners to develop systems that “run like a well-oiled machine and free the owner from day to day operations.” In his guest appearances and keynotes, Mr. Hamner speaks primarily to business owners and visionary entrepreneurs.   He calls it solving the “Rainmaker’s Dilemma” – where the founder/owner is the weakest part of the business because he or she has stretched too far.   Mr. Hamner also hosts the Above the Business podcast, with over 4,000 downloads monthly.   For more information:  blueprintos.com

    Why you don’t want to bet on the rabbit

    •  Steep growth and no profits is a myth, says consultant  •  It's not explosive growth that makes a business    Who won that race between the rabbit and the tortoise?  Everyone knows the answer, of course, and consultant Manny Skevofilax suggests a business strategy that the tortoise might endorse:  Don’t sacrifice profits for growth.  To ensure the health of the business, go for steady growth and steady profits, he says, adding that steep growth and no profits as a long-term strategy is a myth.   After a career as a banker with Comerica Bank, Mr. Skevofilax opened his consultancy back in 2003.  As he notes, it's not explosive growth that makes a business, it's steady growth along with steady profits.  His new book is “Ultimate Profit Management: Maximizing Profitability as You Grow Your Business,”(Productivity Press; June 2024.)   For more information: https://poartalcfo.com

    The art of great customer service

    •  AI might help – up to a point •  “There will not be a replacement for a human being”   (Total Recorded Time is 20:12)    ENGLEWOOD, N.J. – The foundation of any business is the customer. But customer relations – that interaction between a business and those who give it money – can be challenging.  So can artificial intelligence help?  One of the world’s authorities on customer experience and strategy execution says perhaps.  “I think that AI will do some mundane work that we probably don’t care to do anyway,” says Lior Arussy, author, consultant and creative change agent.   “but I am a firm believer that when it comes to authenticity and human touch, there will not be a replacement for a human being.” Mr. Arussy’s insights and methods have been put into practice in more than 200 corporate transformations worldwide.  He is also the author of seven books, including “Dare to Author!” (Greenleaf Book Group, October 2024) and “Next Is Now,” (Simon & Schuster; May 2018).   For more information:  https://www.liorarussy.com/

    Can AI coexist with religion?

    •  Does religion have any business in business? •  “It really comes down to ethics”   (Total Recorded Time is 15:00)  Artificial intelligence, also called AI, “lacks consciousness, self-awareness, emotions, and subjective experiences, which are fundamental aspects of religious belief. AI cannot genuinely ‘believe’ or ‘practice’ religion in the way humans do,” says ChatGPT when asked to write about AI and religion.   But what does a human religious scholar and entrepreneur think?  “It really comes down to ethics,” says Philip Blackett, an author, consultant and entrepreneur who previously has worked with FedEx, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Chick-Fil-A.  “AI is a technology that isn’t inherently good of bad. It just depends on the person who uses it,” says Mr. Blackett, who got his Masters of Divinity degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and his MBA from Harvard Business School.  Philip Blackett is our guest in this episode of Bizgnus Interviews. He is the author of six books, the newest of which is “Disagree without Disrespect.”  For more information:  www.philipblackett.com
