  • Great first episode

    As an AI enthusiast, I had high hopes for Brian Piper’s new podcast, and the first episode exceeded even them. The structure of the show is spot on. It opens with a fantastic AI use case you can implement right away, then swings into a rollicking interview with marketing heavyweight Mark Schaefer. It’s like a mini marketing course in a half hour podcast. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 53: How AI Forces Higher Education Back to Community
Q: What cultural or organizational barriers must higher ed overcome to adopt AI effectively?
There is resistance rooted in fears about data, the traditional power of the faculty, and structural concerns about headcount and evaluation roles; overcoming this requires redefining evaluation, embracing coaching roles for educators, and designing governance that reduces incentives for cheating while promoting mastery.
Ep. 53: How AI Forces Higher Education Back to Community
Q: What changes are needed in admissions and career centers to adapt to AI-enabled education?
Admissions should focus on understanding the student's deeper why and design pathways that connect learning to real-world outcomes; career centers must integrate with academics from day one, using AI to match students with mentors and experiential projects that illustrate possible career trajectories.
Ep. 53: How AI Forces Higher Education Back to Community
Q: How is AI expected to change the value proposition of a college for prospective students and employers?

Ep. 51: Why Higher Ed Must Adopt AI at Scale Before the Tech Passes Them By
Q: How can institutions move from talk to action quickly in adopting AI at scale?
Focus on foundational readiness, create a practical readiness stagger (about a year), engage alumni and external partners, and foster a startup mindset that emphasizes small wins, momentum, and a human-first approach to AI deployment.
Ep. 50: How 24/7 Student Support AI Drives True Equity in Higher Education
Q: What AI use case is most helpful to you personally or professionally?
Email and communication clarity—Building a Clawd-based clarity tool that preserves the user's voice while ensuring messages are clear and free of miscommunication, even catching inconsistencies within a single message.
