This week’s TOP CEO

Paul Jackson, CEO of Method CRM

On this week’s episode of TOP CMO, Ben Kaplan interviews Paul Jackson on the challenges he faced as CEO of Method CRM.  Varying consumer needs, no-code problems, scaling and management difficulties,  feedback,  mobile design, and a growing user base.  

Paul showed us the uglier side of leading a team through a re-platforming process. Doubting yourself. Losing members. Struggling to come up with morale boosters. He reminds us what it takes to be a steady CEO no matter how steep the climb gets. Paul advises peers to reach out and seek help, all while giving decisions time and reflection.

Don’t miss out on his story and catch his best tips!

The dangers of AI

Movies like The Terminator and Ex Machina fantasized about a future where artificial intelligence endangers humanity and brings on the apocalypse. However, our present seems to pace toward that fantasy becoming possible. AI assistants like Chatty AI may seem innocuous at first, but just how deep into our lives can they infiltrate? 

Ever been scared of AI and its seemingly inevitable world dominion? Definitely don’t check out this bone-chilling episode of Unboredify! Or, if you dare, put your paranoia to the test!
