AI Workslop

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/10/06

In today’s episode: Workslop -- the results of ChatGPT and other AI being submitted without sufficient human review--is becoming a larger issue in the workplace. People are at risk of submitting workslop when they're made to move too quickly. AI can be used to generate ideas or fine-tune completed work, but it currently lacks the attention to detail and the point-of-view that makes humans valuable.

Misleading GDP Numbers

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/10/03

In today’s episode:The U.S. GDP has been revised up to 3.8%. The number looks good, but what's really going on? The math behind the GDP can be misleading. Tariffs are reducing imports, which makes the export numbers look relatively larger. When you add the bad labor numbers, it's clear none of this makes sense. Markets and the news aren't celebrating the numbers. Most of these metrics have become political tools that people don't trust. The only thing that really moves the market is

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/10/01

In today’s episode: Jessica and John discuss Suzy Welch's op-ed, ⁠Is Gen Z Unemployable?⁠ Gen Z workers prefer self-care, authenticity, altruism, affluence, and beauty.

When asked directly, most people have pretty good kids with diverse traits who are trying to get by. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs

2025/09/30

In today's episode: Alorica's Max Schwendner & Mike Clifton describe how they cooperate as Co-CEOs leading over 100,000 employees. One key value: decisiveness.

The Power of Story

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/09/26

In today’s episode:There was mass outrage following Jimmy Kimmel's show being pulled from the air--but not nearly as much for 800,000 jobs lost this year. Why is that? There was a clear theme with the Kimmel situation: justice versus injustice. When people have a story, they're motivated to take action that moves the needle. Leaders forget that stories are one of the most powerful tools in their arsenal. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the

The Truth About AI Job Replacement

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/09/24

In today’s episode: Companies haven't actually figured out how AI can transform their business to the point of replacing broad swaths of the organization. There's a narrative that the job market is stalling because of AI. That's true, but it's because companies are finding the budget to investigate the potential for AI--consulting and exploration, not direct replacements. Right now, AI is great at preparing and analyzing data. Individual leaders have seen how AI can make their own roles

Where Do You Get Your News?

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/09/23

In today’s episode:39% of Americans 30 and younger regularly get their news from TikTok. There's a lack of trust in government, politics, and instititions--many are aggressively removing themselves from political discourse. That's dangerous for democracy.

Free Speech Is Incredibly Expensive

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·
