Jeff Riley Day of AI CEO (and Former Massachusetts Education Commissioner) joins Nick Schutt to discuss how AI can transform education — and how we must avoid repeating the social media/cell phone mistakes.

We cover:

AI literacy as the fourth “R” — kids need to master it

Personalization: teach every student at their level (2nd grade to college)

Risks: AI companions, data privacy, mental health, over-reliance

Lessons from smartphones/social media → act now on policy

Day of AI: free training, curriculum, parent toolkits (dayai.org)

If you’re a parent, educator, or policymaker, this episode is essential for 2026.

Season 3 Premiere: “Marketplace Model for Government: Faster Discovery, Faster Awards” Ratio Exchange founders Jim Benson and Josiah Cushing join Nick Schutt to explain why open marketplaces — not rigid contract vehicles — are the future of rapid federal acquisition.

We dive into:

Building Ratio: from Booz Allen roots to disrupting federal sourcing

Market-as-a-Service: stand up ecosystems in days, connect demand directly to supply

Real examples: Tradewinds, Softwerx, defense underwater drones, self-tying boots

Cautious AI use: best models per use case, no all-in bets

Why cultural change (not just tech) is the real barrier to faster awards

Hope: missions connecting straight to market, unconstrained innovation

If you’re tired of slow federal sourcing, this episode is your 2026 wake-up call.

AI isn’t the “easy button” for federal proposals — yet.

Host Nick Schutt talks with Lisa Shea Mundt, co-founder of The Pulse of GovCon and 14-year federal proposal veteran, about the real limits (and smart uses) of AI in GovCon business development.

From desktop-publishing failures to hallucinated content, Lisa debunks the fantasy of point-and-click wins while sharing where AI actually shines today.

Key topics:

Why AI can’t yet replace proposal managers

Best uses: brainstorming, first drafts, admin tasks, orals coaching

Desktop publishing & compliance pitfalls

AI still can’t solve Protecting sensitive data in LLMs

The future: more orals, subjectivity, and human judgment

If you’re tired of AI hype in federal sales and want the unvarnished truth, this episode is for you.
