Leading the Loop: How to Use AI Without Losing Your Edge – With Carl Loeb
Artificial intelligence can make us faster, more productive, and more efficient. But what happens when we start outsourcing not just our work—but our judgment? In this episode, I speak with strategist and creative leader Carl Loeb about the growing risk of "cognitive surrender" and how professionals can use AI without losing the uniquely human capabilities that create real value. Drawing on research, practical examples, and his own experience integrating AI into creative work, Carl offers a framework for staying in control while taking advantage of these powerful new tools. We cover topics including: Why deadline pressure, confirmation bias, and AI "sycophancy" can lead people to trust bad answers The difference between being "in the loop" and "leading the loop" when working with AI Why originality, judgment, taste, emotional intelligence, and point of view remain uniquely human advantages If you're trying to figure out how to use AI without becoming dependent on it, this conversation provides a thoughtful and practical roadmap. The Wise Up! Podcast is your regular dose of business wisdom, brought to you by the members of OpenWater.

The Strength Behind Success – with Denis Champagne
What if the biggest threat to your business performance isn't market conditions, competition, or technology—but the gradual decline of your own capacity? In this episode, I speak with entrepreneur, coach, and former competitive athlete Denis Champagne about the connection between physical strength, mental resilience, personal alignment, and long-term success. Drawing on more than 35 years in business and a lifetime of athletic competition, Denis shares why leaders must treat themselves as their most important asset—and why discipline ultimately matters more than motivation. We cover topics including: Why "refusing decline" begins with making—and sticking to—difficult decisions How physical strength creates the capacity to recover from setbacks, adapt to change, and sustain performance over time Why structure and discipline outperform motivation when it comes to achieving lasting personal and professional growth If you've ever felt overwhelmed, fragmented, or simply less effective than you once were, this conversation offers a practical framework for rebuilding capacity from the inside out. The Wise Up! Podcast is your regular dose of business wisdom, brought to you by the members of OpenWater.

Always Be Connecting – with Sharon Schanzer
What if the real secret to business development isn’t selling at all, but building genuine, friction-free relationships over time? In this episode, I speak with entrepreneur, implementation expert, and self-described “superconnector” Sharon Schanzer about the hidden mechanics of networking, execution, and sustainable business growth. Drawing on decades of experience spanning design, technology, consulting, and community-building, Sharon shares why connection is a long game, why most people underestimate the work of business development, and how generalists are becoming increasingly valuable in a specialized world. We cover topics including: Why “always be connecting” matters more than “always be closing” How friction-free communication and follow-through create trust, referrals, and opportunity Why execution—not just ideas—is the real differentiator for entrepreneurs and organizations If you’ve ever struggled with networking, pipeline-building, or turning ideas into action, this conversation offers a refreshingly practical perspective on what actually moves business forward. The Wise Up! Podcast is your regular dose of business wisdom, brought to you by the members of OpenWater.
