Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What the 2026 NDAA Really Means for Government Contractors
Q: What did you find through your actual reading of it that jumped out at you?
Dolores highlights that the NDAA keeps traditional definitions for non-traditional defense contractors, notes new authority insertions like Office of Strategic Capital, and emphasizes that central issues for small businesses revolve around commercial solutions openings, whether a solicitation references statute language or DFARS, and the ongoing gray area when developmental work remains involved. She also stresses the need for workforce capacity to implement OTAs and the potential for regulatory language to lag behind statute.
Ep 402: Rebranding for Growth How to Attract Commercial Clients Without Destroying Your GovCon Brand
Q: Did you bring in any third parties or did you just do this internally?
We did it all internally, pride ourselves on having a remarkable team with diverse perspectives.
Ep 402: Rebranding for Growth How to Attract Commercial Clients Without Destroying Your GovCon Brand
Q: What was the hardest part about going through the rebrand?
The hardest part was communicating what would attract a commercial market as the team was rooted in a government contracting mindset.
Ep 397: The Current State of AI How It’s About to Reshape Your Entire Workflow
Q: What are some practical things that executives or business leaders should be using themselves as well as instructing their team?
Executives should experiment with AI tools, especially paid versions, and implement policies to guide their team's use of these tools safely and effectively, as well as sort and manage their emails using AI for better efficiency.
Ep 397: The Current State of AI How It’s About to Reshape Your Entire Workflow
Q: How would you describe where we are with the current state of AI?
We are a lot further along than I thought we would be at this given point in time, with widespread adoption pushing forward rapidly, creating a mix of excitement and fear regarding the implications of AI integration in the workforce.
