If AI feels overwhelming, or you have been quietly avoiding it because you are not sure where to start, this episode is going to be a relief.

Len Ward is the founder and CEO of Commexis, an AI consulting and product development firm that helps businesses eliminate bottlenecks and scale through automation. He started his career as a stockbroker at Morgan Stanley and went on to become VP of Institutional Equity Sales and Trading at Credit Suisse, where he developed a sharp ability to read where things are heading. And where things are heading, according to Len, is a complete shift in how business gets done.

In this conversation, Len and I dig into why so many business owners are resistant to AI and what is really behind that fear. He breaks down the difference between what the media says AI can do and what is actually happening on the front lines, and his answer might surprise you. We also talk about the shift from what Len calls search and retrieve to solve my problem, and why the companies that make that shift fastest are the ones that will win.

Len shares real examples of how AI is cutting marketing budgets, eliminating unqualified leads, and putting sales teams on the one-yard line before they even pick up the phone. We also get into what he believes is the next most valuable job title inside every company, and why the idea that AI is going to replace human judgment is still a long way off.

If you are a coach, consultant, or business owner who knows AI is important but has not quite figured out how it fits into what you do, this episode will help you get clear.

When George Wiseman first reached out to Interview Connections, I had no idea that our conversation would move me to tears. George is an inventor, engineer, and founder of Eagle Research, and his story is one of the most powerful I have ever heard on this podcast.

George has spent decades developing Brown's gas technology, originally as an alternative energy solution for fuel efficiency and combustion systems. But it was a series of deeply personal experiences, including years as the full-time caretaker for his late wife as she battled lupus, that transformed his life's mission entirely.

In this episode, George shares how Brown's gas went from a fuel-saving technology to something he believes saved his own life after the devastating loss of his wife in 2016. He walks us through the science of hydrogen therapy, why most people are hydrogen deficient, and the remarkable changes he experienced in his own body after inhaling Brown's gas, from the disappearance of a 50-year-old virus to the healing of a heart murmur he had carried since childhood.

We also talk about why stories like George's rarely make it into traditional media, and why podcasting remains one of the most powerful platforms for ideas that challenge the status quo.

If you have been curious about hydrogen therapy, alternative wellness, or what it looks like to rebuild your life around a mission that is bigger than yourself, this episode is for you.

If you have been pouring your heart into writing a book and wondering how to actually get people to read it, this episode is for you.

I was introduced to Jenn T. Grace by one of our clients, Linda Hunt, and the moment we got on a call, I knew I needed to get her on the show. She is an award-winning author, nationally recognized speaker, and publishing strategist with more than 20 years of experience in marketing, communication, and storytelling. She is the founder of Publish Your Purpose, a certified B Corp hybrid publisher, and the creator of the Institute for Author Growth and Impact, an educational platform supporting nonfiction and memoir writers through every stage of their author journey.

And I have to be honest: after nearly 400 episodes of this podcast, I somehow never did an episode about using podcast appearances to promote a book. Jenn helped me fix that.

In this conversation, we get into why podcast guesting converts so much better than traditional media for authors, what realistic book sales numbers actually look like, and why the authors who talk about their book constantly are the ones who win long-term. Jenn also shares the sweet spot for when to start marketing your book, how to grow your email list before your book even launches, and how some of her clients have landed six-figure consulting deals simply by getting their book into the right hands.

If you are an entrepreneur, coach, or thought leader who is writing a book or thinking about writing one, this episode will show you exactly how to use podcast guesting to build momentum before, during, and long after your launch.
