Doug Rich shared thisI've been doing AI and partnerships consulting for the past two years. Finally gave it a proper name: Rich Foresight Group.Doug Rich shared thisIntroducing Rich Foresight Group. Most companies today are talking about AI. Far fewer are actually using it. And fewer still are seeing measurable results. We exist to close that gap. Rich Foresight Group helps small and mid-sized businesses apply AI only where it produces clear business ROI—not demos, not experiments, not hype. Real workflows. Real teams. Real dollars. We work with founder-led and operator-driven teams who know AI matters but don't have time for buzzwords, tool sprawl, or abstract strategy decks that never turn into action. Our approach is simple: - Business first. Technology second. - Start small. Prove value fast. - Measure results in dollars—not innovation metrics. If AI doesn't save time, make money, or reduce risk, we don't recommend it. Watch this video to learn more about how we help SMBs get real ROI from AI in 30-60-90 days. #AIforSMB #BusinessAI #AIConsulting "Generated with AI"

Incredibly grateful for this team we are building and the cross functional buy in I continue to see daily with the “get sh*t done” mentality. Crossing the $100M marker feels like it is just the beginning. Jason Fishkind - appreciate the opportunity 🤝. Fired up for the journey ahead.

Doug Rich liked thisDoug Rich liked thisA few weeks ago at SKO in Boston, I was named Seismic’s North America Sales Engineer of the Year. Still a bit surreal — which is probably why it took me a few weeks to post this. This role is hard to measure. Most of the impact happens in the middle of deals. The back-and-forth, the problem solving, the moments where things can (and do) go completely sideways and you have to figure it out fast. This year had plenty of those. I’m genuinely lucky to work with AEs who treat me like a true partner in the deal, not just someone to jump in for a demo. And I’ve had a manager who pushed me to be better and had my back the whole way (thank you, Ankit Bhutada!). And to the customers — new and old — who let me get close to how their business works, that trust means everything. One thing this year reinforced for me: You don’t win as an SE by knowing the most. You win by staying close to the deal, understanding what actually matters to the business, and making complex things make sense in real conversations. Grateful for the recognition. Proud of the team around me Nowhere near done.

Doug Rich liked thisDoug Rich liked thisFour years ago in late winter of 2022, a few things stacked up at once for me. My mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer. A new boss was starting. And if I’m being honest… I wasn’t where I wanted to be, physically or mentally. I could feel the drift. So on the 28th of March, 2022, I made a decision. Not a big public one, just a personal line in the sand. I changed 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝. I decided I wanted to become a durable & functional person well into my 80s. And I simplified it down to one rule: “𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡… 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞 24 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫.” From that point on, every decision got filtered through one question: → 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫… 𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲? Four years later, a lot has changed, personally and professionally. But more importantly, I’m far more aligned with the direction I want to go. Life moves fast. And it’s easy to drift without realizing it. Sometimes all it takes is a pause… and a decision to reset your standard. Curious how others have reset their direction when they felt things drifting, personally or professionally.

Doug Rich liked thisDoug Rich liked thisAfter decades of running sales organizations, one pattern shows up every time: Sales has always been treated as a craft—a kind of tribal art. Every team has a handful of reps who just “get it.” They run better discovery, control deals more effectively, and consistently outperform. And for years, we’ve tried to scale that by hiring more like them or hoping others pick it up along the way. But tribal knowledge doesn’t scale. So we turned to data. We built dashboards, tracked conversion rates, and instrumented the funnel. And while that gave us visibility, it didn’t solve the core problem. It told us what happened, not how to replicate what worked. The real gap has always been in the moments that matter inside the deal. What’s different now is that we can finally see and shape those moments. With AI roleplay, reps can step into realistic deal scenarios and practice how they respond under pressure. But just as important, the system is capturing something we’ve never had before: pattern-level analytics on execution. Not just win rates or stage progression, but where reps get stuck. Where they lose control. Where top performers consistently do something different. It surfaces coaching moments at scale—across every rep, every scenario, every interaction. That’s the breakthrough. Because now you’re not guessing where to coach. You’re not relying on anecdotal deal reviews. You can see, with precision, the exact moments that separate your best reps from the rest and systematically close that gap. That’s shifting sales as tribal art to to sales as something observable, measurable, and coachable in real time. And once you can do that, performance stops being random and starts becoming engineered.

Doug Rich liked thisDoug Rich liked thisFortra Search, Avnir, and Zions Bancorporation, Rob Swanson brought together a standout group of leaders in Menlo Park (Park James) for an intimate evening of candid conversation, real connection, and a lot of insight with Thomas Bostick, PhD, NAE, PE and David Nour. A few ideas from General Bostick that stayed with me: Resilience is not endurance. It’s a system. Built to plan for disruption, absorb shock, recover quickly, and adapt to a higher level. Features may drive growth, but systems sustain companies. The best leaders and organizations don’t react to pressure — they’re designed for it. And in moments of uncertainty, decision velocity matters. You rarely have perfect information, but you still have to move. Adjust the objective, stay anchored to purpose, and communicate constantly to keep teams aligned. We’re all operating in environments where plans change quickly. The advantage goes to those who have built the structure, discipline, and leadership to adapt in real time. Personally, I’m grateful for leaders like General Bostick. Getting time in a small, intimate setting to learn, challenge ideas, and share a few laughs is something I don’t take for granted. Highly recommend both Gen Bostick’s and Nour’s books if you haven’t read them: Winning after Losing & Relationship Economics Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the night what it was — thoughtful, direct, and grounded in what it really takes to lead. Special thanks to Valerie Freeman and Sarah R. What systems are you building today to adapt when disruption changes the plan?

Yep -- what Parker Poor said here at StakePoint is exactly what we hear in our conversations with institutions. They want yield, but they also need to use compliant, low-risk partners they can trust for the long run. Another reason why vetted validator cohorts (like ours Marinade Labs) will become the standard for institutional staking operations.

In this clip, Tamir Shub presents the critical response to a question asked in our "Latest State of Identity" report: Which traditional identifiers are you still using today, and which Alternative IDs are you currently investing in, or testing? The answer is clear; Alternative ID adoption is soaring to mitigate revenue loss. Out of the 92 agencies, brands, publishers, and retailers surveyed in the report, nearly 50% are already utilizing First-Party IDs and 36% are investing in UID 2.0. This accelerating industry shift demands a scalable infrastructure. Intent IQ provides the persistent, first-party ID solution that allows advertisers, publishers, and platforms to thrive in cookieless environments. Addressability at scale, with privacy by design. Which industry trend do you think will replace the 3rd-party cookie first? Share your thoughts in the comments! 👇 #AdTech #Cookieless #IntentIQ #AlternativeID #Programmatic

Most supplier collaboration tools work. Until they hit real scale. Portals, viewers, and review platforms reduce friction. But they still assume collaboration happens after the model has been exported. As supplier networks grow — especially across multi-tier global programs common in aerospace and defense — coordination layers multiply. More checkpoints. More oversight. More manual alignment. That’s not collaboration maturing. That’s complexity leaking out of the system of record. #Manufacturing #PLM #SupplierCollaboration #DigitalThread

An important milestone, and one that goes far beyond iProov. As deepfakes and AI-driven forgeries surge, proving that a digital interaction is genuinely human is critical. Whether filing taxes online, renewing a passport, accessing healthcare, or securing your financial accounts, proving that you, are really you is fundamental to our security. iProov becoming the first vendor certified under NIST 800-63-4 sets a new global benchmark for AI-resilient identity assurance. This is what future-proofing digital trust looks like.

Yesterday, at Rep. Monique Priestley's invitation, I testified before a Vermont legislative committee on the identity verification provisions of a draft data broker bill. One question from the committee cut to something bigger than the legislation: why do identity methods keep following the same arc? Certified. Adopted at scale. Then compromised, deprecated, or prohibited — while organizations are still running them. Knowledge-based verification is the current example. KBV — “What street did you live on in 2010?" "What's your mother's maiden name?" — relies on answers pulled from data broker databases. The problem: fraudsters can buy the same data. NIST explicitly prohibited KBV in its 2025 identity guidelines. SMS one-time passcodes were deprecated the same way a few years earlier. The underlying issue: most organizations have no one whose job is to notice when the field moves. Treating identity as a product — with real ownership, defined outcomes, and accountability for staying current — puts someone in charge of watching the field. When standards move, they know. I wrote about the SMS OTP deprecation arc in my book Mastering Digital Identity. KBV could be the next chapter of the same story. Full testimony notes, including chapter and verse on NIST and other resources, are in my Substack post. Link in comments.
