| 6/21/26 |  You Are Already Living Inside the AI Era with Darrell T. Black vCIO | Send us Fan Mail AI is finally in everyone’s hands, and that’s exactly why it’s getting risky. Grant McGaugh sits down with veteran tech leader Darrell T. Black (CIO, CTO, CDO) to discuss what it really takes to bring AI into a business without compromising trust, compliance, or the back office. We get into the difference between experimenting with a chatbot and deploying AI inside the systems that run payroll, HR, finance, and customer data. Darrell shares a grounded view of AI readiness: u... | 38m 35s | ||||||
| 6/14/26 |  Five More Steps with Jason W. Gallo | Send us Fan Mail A lot of leaders talk about resilience. Far fewer can explain how to turn resilience into something a whole team can actually use when the pressure is on. Grant McGaugh sits down with Jason Gallo to trace that shift from a “power through it” mindset to authentic leadership built on tools, trust, and empowerment, shaped by Jason’s Brooklyn upbringing and a Grand Canyon moment where the only goal was “five more steps.” From there, we zoom out to the biggest workplace shi... | 33m 42s | ||||||

We open the doors to the ICABA AI Accelerator, a four‑week sprint designed to help professionals reclaim 20+ hours a month, scale content that sounds like them, and build authority through human‑led systems. Rather than flood you with demos, we focus on judgment, workflows, and data—so AI works for you, not the other way around. We start by resetting how you think about tools.

From margin of error to the myth of tidy causation, Mike breaks down the difference between patterns worth acting on and patterns that will quietly burn your budget.
