  • Inside the I-Corridor: Future-Proofing Rochester's Workforce

    Inside the I-Corridor: Future-Proofing Rochester's Workforce
    2026/08/05
    Ep. 21 Go inside the NY York Smart I-Corridor and get ready to take advantage of the CHIPS Act and the $100 Billion investment in Upstate New York. Welcome to Elevating Enterprise's new podcast series Inside the I-Corridor series. Hosts Jazzy T and RJ Williams visit RIT Certified's newly renovated space to explore the workforce strategies powering the next generation of advanced manufacturing across Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse. Director Rosalie Clemens and Associate Director AJ LiVecchi explain why the I-Corridor isn't about one company or one city, it's about building an entire regional ecosystem where every organization has a role to play. Resource Links: Suscribe to Inside the I-Corridor Newsletter on LinkedIn Website: https://certified.rit.edu/ Register for the Teacher's Cohort Circuiting Success here https://certified.rit.edu/circuitingsuccess Email AJ LiVecchi:‍ ajlcert@rit.edu Episode Key Points: ✅ The I-Corridor is an economic development strategy—not simply a Micron project. ✅ Workforce development isn't something that happens to companies. It's something companies actively build. ✅ Existing employees often need targeted upskilling—not another four-year degree. ✅ AI is rapidly changing professional development, knowledge transfer and advanced manufacturing. ✅ Rochester's competitive advantage comes from strengthening its existing expertise in optics, photonics and precision manufacturing—not competing directly with Syracuse. ✅ Businesses that invest in learning today will be best positioned when the region's semiconductor ecosystem reaches full scale.

  • 10X Your Business Value, Reach Your Freedom Point Faster | Jenn Piper, Volare AI

    10X Your Business Value, Reach Your Freedom Point Faster | Jenn Piper, Volare AI
    2026/04/15
    Ep.20 If your business can’t run without you… it’s not an asset. “As soon as you walk out the door, so does your business intelligence.” Jazzy T sits down with Jennifer Piper of Volare AI to break down an unpopular truth: if you’re building a business that depends on your presence, your decisions, and your constant involvement… you have created a high-paying job—not a transferable asset. You didn’t start your business to work 60-hour weeks with nothing to show for it. With proven scaling experience and AI-powered insights, Volare AI helps uncover the hidden gaps holding you back—so you can finally step into the role of visionary, not overworked operator. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: ✔️ Define your freedom point (and why it matters from day one) ✔️ Measure your business value using a real health score ✔️ Understand why “10X” doesn’t mean what you think it does ✔️ Build systems that allow your business to scale—and eventually run without you 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✨ Stop Guessing Your Business Value Use Jenn’s assessment tool to calculate your business health score across leadership, recruiting, sales, marketing, financials, and productivity. ✨ 10X Is Based on Profit—Not Revenue Your valuation is tied to EBITDA (earnings before interest and taxes)—not top-line revenue. Your multiple depends on industry, systems, and risk. ✨ Your KPIs Should Lead to Freedom If your metrics don’t tell you how close you are to stepping away, you’re tracking the wrong numbers.

    “There’s no transformation without transparency.” That's why I’m pulling back the curtain on my own journey into public speaking. Ep. 19 Elevating Enterprise, I'm flipped from interviewer to student when Candice Kellogg, Master Trainer with Dale Carnegie, turns our interview into a live coaching session at the Women Empowering Women Conference. No notes. No prep. Just my experience. And in that moment, I realized what so many of us struggle with:Confidence in private doesn’t always translate to confidence in public.
