ACTORS + AI: Director/Actor/Producer/Writer AI Chef 🧑‍🍳 Hans Obma visits the Cozy AI Kitchen 🎂 https://lnkd.in/gjiAvEfP to share his insights on how AI has transformed his creative processes. You may have seen Chef Hans in such 📺 hits as Better Call Saul, Wandavision, or Narcos — and yes, he's probably the most handsome AI 🧑‍🍳 chef we've had in the kitchen to date :-). Hans needed to learn a new language ... how did he do it? He got multimodal AI models to help him speak Welsh. Hans needed a way to scale how he communicated with his stakeholders ... how did he do it? He created an authentic-to-him way of scaling by creating an instant entourage of supporting agents. HT 🧑‍🍳 Ross Heise 🧑‍🍳 Matt Scholz and the power of the Wisconsin network for bringing such a storied talent to the Cozy AI Kitchen! --- This 🍰 episode: https://lnkd.in/gjiAvEfP All 50 episodes: https://lnkd.in/g6upvbGX

"For these models to reach their peak value, you need to train them not just on publicly available data, but make privately owned data available for those models as well," - Ellison https://lnkd.in/gM6FskzJ

Presence Reflects Growth — Not Just Experience Over the years, we often tell ourselves that "hard work speaks for itself." And to a large extent, it does. Skills, experience, and results form the foundation of professional success. But there comes a point in every career — especially mid to senior level — where what you've done is silently judged by how you carry it. Recently, I observed a subtle but powerful moment in a hiring interaction. The candidate — seasoned, capable, and technically strong — walked into the interview room. But from the very beginning, it was evident that something didn’t click. Not because he wasn’t qualified. Not because he lacked experience. But because his presence didn't signal his potential. His appearance, energy, and communication hadn't evolved with his experience. While his resume told a story of growth, his presence didn’t align with it — and that disconnect affected how he was perceived. This isn’t about being superficial. It’s about understanding that perception is part of performance, especially at higher levels of responsibilities. So what does it mean to let your growth "show"? It doesn’t mean pretending to be someone else. It means updating how your external presence reflects your internal journey. Here's how professionals can bridge that gap: 1. Signal intentionality through appearance You don’t need luxury brands, just clarity in dressing. Clean, professional, and role-appropriate attire sends a signal that you’re intentional and aware. 2. Refine your communication Senior roles aren’t just about execution — they’re about influence. Clear articulation, confident pauses, and active listening can often communicate more than technical answers. 3. Show growth through posture and energy Your posture, eye contact, and tone are constantly communicating — even when you're not. Leadership is often first felt, then heard. 4. Stay aligned with the evolving context No matter how experienced you are, the industry moves forward. Keeping up with trends, language, and tone shows you're still growing. In essence, presence is not about performance — it’s about preparedness. As you move up in your career, technical depth will open the door — but presence decides how far you’ll go inside the room. Closing Thought: "Experience earns respect.Presence earns attention.Together, they build trust." #Leadership #CareerDevelopment #PresenceMatters #EngineeringLeadership #ProfessionalGrowth #SoftSkills #CommunicationSkills #TechCareer

If you’re shipping faster but feeling more drained, you’re not alone. Our role changed from building to constantly evaluating AI output. Great read on why that’s exhausting
