Sales leaders have more data than ever, but data alone does not tell you what is happening or what to do next.

On Episode 93 of Moving Into the Future, host Jack Macejka sits down with Jason Mesiarik, Founder of MANAGEMENT OS, to explore how artificial intelligence is changing the way sales leaders manage pipelines, coach teams, develop talent and make critical business decisions. Jason explains why so much of the traditional sales technology stack was built for sales reps rather than the people leading them. They discuss the decline of traditional sales training and mentorship, using AI to analyze sales behaviors and buyer signals, identifying future leaders, improving time management and avoiding costly hiring mistakes.

The conversation also examines where AI should stop. Rather than replacing human judgment, Jason sees AI as a way to give leaders greater visibility into their businesses and help them make faster, more informed decisions. As AI becomes embedded in sales organizations, the question may no longer be whether leaders should use it, but how quickly they can learn to use it effectively.

In Episode 92 of Moving Into the Future, host Jack Macejka, Vice President of National Accounts at The Advance Group, sits down with Jerry George, Senior Associate at Perkins & Will, to explore how artificial intelligence, evolving workplace expectations, and changing client needs are reshaping the role of the modern architect.

Jerry explains why AI should be viewed as a tool rather than a replacement for human expertise, and how faster technology is raising expectations for architects to deliver more while continuing to build the trust and relationships that drive successful projects. They discuss how architects are moving beyond traditional design responsibilities to become strategic advisors who help clients solve business challenges, understand workplace data, strengthen company culture, and plan spaces for needs that may not exist yet.

The conversation also looks at the evolution of the post-pandemic workplace, from hoteling and badge data to hospitality-inspired amenities, flexible spaces, employee retention, and the growing importance of creating offices that give people a meaningful reason to come together.

Listen now to hear how AI, human connection, and intentional design are changing what companies should expect from their architects and shaping the workplaces of the future.
