You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

Last Friday, we spent some time talking about our big picture approach to the second Trump term.

Today, we're going to dive in and talk through some of the specifics. The firings, the freezes, the ice raids, the shock and awe, this administration has rained down over the past week. And as always, we'll take an exhale at the end of the episode and talk about what's on our mind outside of politics, which for me is

all mahjong all the time. If you and your community are struggling with tackling this new reality,

we'd love to come help you. One of our favorite things we do is public speaking and consulting.

We come to communities of all kinds to help groups navigate hard conversations. We've helped

college deans work through intergenerational challenges with today's students.

We've helped recruiters navigate conflicting expectations as work policies shifted post-pandemic.

We love these conversations, and we'd love to help your group navigate whatever conflict it's facing right now.

You can find more info about our speaking linked in our show notes or email us at hello at pantsuitpolitics show.com.

Next up, let's talk about the shock and awe.

Even if you think it's a bit overhyped, AI is suddenly everywhere, from self-driving cars

to molecular medicine to business efficiency.

If it's not in your industry yet, it's coming, fast.

But AI needs a lot of speed and computing power. So how do you

compete without cost spiraling out of control? Time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud.

Oracle, cloud, infrastructure, or OCI. OCI is a blazing fast and secure platform for your infrastructure,

database, application development, plus all your AI and machine learning workloads.

OCI costs 50% less for compute and 80% less for networking, so you're saving a pile of money.
