  Transcend Networking
  Brad Englert has written Spheres of Influence: How to Create and Nurture Authentic Business Relationships to help emerging leaders develop and perfect what he calls the “critical hard skill” of building effective and enduring business relationships. 
  There are two major parts to the book. The first part of the book focuses on the “internal sphere of influence,” those people with whom readers can have the most direct impact: relationship with the boss, relationships with executive leaders, relationships with direct reports, and relationships with all staff. In the second part, Englert focuses on the “external sphere of influence,” and explores relationships where readers have less direct impact. These include relationships with customers, relationships with peers and influencers, and finally, relationships with strategic vendor partners. The real-world stories in this book are relevant to a diverse range of industries, organizations, and backgrounds. In these pages, emerging and aspiring leaders will learn how to build authentic, mutually beneficial, trusting, and enduring relationships spanning years and even decades.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Build Production-Ready AI Systems in 30 Days—No PhD Required. 
  The gap between "playing with ChatGPT" and building scalable AI business systems is enormous. Most professionals are stuck experimenting while competitors are shipping production-ready AI stacks that create real competitive advantages. 
  "30 Days to Build Your AI Business Stack" bridges that gap with a battle-tested roadmap from someone building AI systems at scale—not selling AI courses. 
  Written by Michael Patterson, an AI engineering leader managing 120+ engineers at a Fortune 500 company, this guide cuts through the hype to deliver production-grade implementation strategies you can deploy immediately. 
  What Makes This Different: Unlike theoretical AI books or basic tutorials, you'll master the complete technical architecture—from Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations to autonomous agents serving millions of users. 
  Your 30-Day AI Transformation: 
  Days 1-5: Foundation Layer – Master Model Context Protocol (MCP), advanced prompt engineering, and AI development environments using Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and modern toolchains. 
  Days 6-10: Data & Intelligence – Build robust vector databases with Pinecone and Weaviate, implement RAG systems, and create knowledge bases that power intelligent applications. 
  Days 11-15: Autonomous Systems – Deploy AI agents using LangGraph and CrewAI that reason, act, and scale without constant human intervention. 
  Days 16-20: Workflow Orchestration – Connect everything with AI workflow automation using Zapier, Make, and n8n for intelligent process orchestration. 
  Days 21-25: Customer-Facing Products – Ship reliable conversational AI, internal copilots, and AI-powered features with proper guardrails and monitoring. 
  Days 26-30: Production Operations – Deploy securely on Vercel, Railway, and Render with cost optimization, monitoring, and continuous improvement systems.

  You are coaching a new Product Owner doing release planning for the first time.  There are three politically powerful stakeholders who each wan their project included as your team's highest priority.  It is clear that due to the lack of resources it will be a miracle if even one of the enhancements can be delivered.   
  The Product Owner asks you what should he do?   Which project should he pick and how can he avoid trouble from the two stakeholders who must be disappointed? 
  This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.
