October 15, 2025 If It Works Today, It’s Already Obsolete: Building a Future-Ready Mindset
Technology is moving faster than ever — and your comfort zone might be your biggest liability. In this inspiring episode, Jim Stroud speaks with Allister Frost, former Microsoft marketing leader and author of Ready Already, about what it truly means to develop a future-ready mindset.
Frost argues that “if it works today, it’s already obsolete,” and challenges professionals to rethink the myths of stability, future-proofing, and the comfort zone. Together, they explore how to stay adaptable in the AI age, why curiosity is a superpower, and how “augmented intelligence” — not artificial intelligence — can elevate your work instead of replacing it.
Why Leaders Should Listen:
• Learn how to break free from the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset.
• Discover the Ready Already Growth Cycle — a model for constant personal and organizational reinvention.
• Understand why future-proofing is a myth — and how to become future-ready instead.
• Hear how curiosity and naïve questioning fuel innovation across generations.
Whether you lead teams, manage change, or simply want to stay relevant in a world of accelerating disruption, this conversation will help you rethink how you learn, adapt, and lead.

October 14, 2025 31,000 Fake Jobs Later: Jay Jones’ Playbook for Stopping Recruiter Impersonation
Scammers are flooding LinkedIn—and they’re getting smarter. In this episode, Jim Stroud talks with Jay Jones (aka “The Profiler”), a copywriter-turned-scam hunter who has personally helped take down 31,000+ fake jobs and 7,000+ bogus profiles. Jay breaks down the most common grifts hitting job seekers and employers—from ATS “resume score” shakedowns to hijacked recruiter identities, one-way video “interviews” used to clone you, and brand-impostor company pages—then shares a clear playbook HR and TA leaders can use to protect their pipelines, reputations, and people.
You’ll learn:
• The top red flags: Gmail “recruiters,” zero-activity profiles, low connection counts, camera-off interviews, missing requisitions, too-fast timelines.
• How fake “ATS scores” and resume rewrites become gateways to identity theft.
• Why hijacked profiles + brand impersonation are skyrocketing—and how to spot them fast.
• Practical verification steps your recruiters should follow every time.
• What companies can do beyond a website disclaimer to actively deter fraud.

October 13, 2025 Transparency Over Technology: The Human Side of AI in the Workplace
In this thought-provoking conversation, Jim Stroud sits down with Dayna Guido, a licensed clinical social worker and ethics consultant, to explore one of the most urgent questions facing HR leaders today: Where does humanity end and artificial intelligence begin in the world of work?
Together, they unpack the ethical gray zones of AI in hiring, employee monitoring, and layoffs — and what transparency, accountability, and compassion look like in an age of algorithms.
Dayna brings 46 years of experience in clinical supervision and ethics to this nuanced conversation, reminding leaders that the future of work is still human at its core. From AI-driven interviews to predictive analytics that “guess” who might quit, this episode challenges HR pros to reflect: Are we using technology to empower people, or to replace trust?
Why HR Leaders Should Listen:
* Discover how ethical frameworks can guide AI adoption in recruitment and employee management.
* Understand the hidden risks of bias, surveillance, and AI fatigue on workforce mental health.
* Learn how to build ethical resilience inside your organization — before regulators force your hand.
If you believe in the power of people, this episode is a must-listen.
