In this episode, Eric Housh talks with Zack Terry about what the Salesforce Spring '26 release actually means for business leaders. Instead of walking through features line by line, they focus on five updates that directly impact scale, efficiency, risk, and return.

They explore AI-generated workflows, performance observability, AI consumption tracking, generative engine optimization, and platform retirements. The through line is maturity: how leaders pair speed with accountability, visibility with governance, and automation with clear process design.

This conversation is for leaders who want their systems to be predictable, measurable, and resilient as they grow.

Host Sam Donaghey and Fast Slow Motion’s Director of People, Michael Smith, sit down with leadership coach Phil Sineath to explore a question many leaders quietly wrestle with: not whether they are capable, but whether they have the margin to navigate what comes next alone.

Phil breaks down what executive coaching is and is not, why the coaching market has become crowded, and how leaders can think clearly about fit. The conversation covers push versus pull coaching, common leadership patterns, and what actually signals a healthy coaching relationship.

This episode is for founders and executives facing a plateau, a step change in responsibility, or rising pressure as the stakes increase.
