🎙️ Episode 68 of The Staffing Playbook Podcast is LIVE
AI & Change: Why Most Staffing Firms Are Failing at Both
🗓 March 5, 2026
⏰ 1:00 PM MDT
🎤 Guest: Lauren B. Jones 🐐
In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Jones, Founder & CEO of Leap Advisory Partners — a true force in workforce innovation and digital transformation

Lauren doesn’t sugarcoat it.

We talk about:
Why buying AI tools doesn’t equal transformation

The leadership blind spots killing momentum

Change fatigue inside staffing firms

What real operational redesign actually looks like

And how to build teams that embrace technology instead of resisting it

If you’re a staffing leader who:
Feels pressure to “do something with AI”
Has invested in tech but isn’t seeing ROI
Knows your operating model needs to evolve

Or wants to lead change without blowing up your culture…
This conversation is for you.

Lauren brings the rare combo of operator, strategist, and transformation architect — and she’s not afraid to challenge the status quo.

The firms that win the next 5 years won’t just adopt AI.

They’ll redesign how they work.

Join us live on March 5th at 1:00 PM MDT.

Let’s stop talking about AI hype…
And start talking about execution.
