On this week's episode, LJ and Rob sit down to chat about:

• Grant Thornton's CFO survey that shows confidence returning to the market, which is backed up by a slight uptick in the Bullhorn & SIA Temporary Staffing indicator climbing from -11% to -9% year over year
• The duo also recognizes SIA's 40 Under 40 in North America

On the AI & Automation front, it is staggering to think about the impact AI will have on the economy, with the US AI market expected to reach $300 billion by 2026.

The duo also highlights how powerful Claude 3.5 Sonnet is and talked about some of the amazing things you can build with Artifacts turned on.

The featured technology of the week was Glyde Talent and the powerful way it is driving top-of-funnel business.

Finally, the dynamic duo sits down with one of their favorites, Kelli Schutrop, to talk about the power of a CEO and executive team's personal brands and how it will impact business development.
