Saving the World With IoT & Expert Rob Tiffany | Ep.166
What if we already have the technology to solve some of the world’s hardest problems—and we’re simply failing to use it? In this episode of FOBTV, I sit down with longtime technology pioneer, IDC Research Director, and author Rob Tiffany to discuss his bold new book, Saving the Earth with the Internet of Things. Rob has assembled 100 practical ways IoT can help address food loss, water scarcity, wildfires, deforestation, endangered species, education, and other global challenges. We also explore the massive AI data center boom, rising pressure on energy and water, unexpected winners in the AI economy, and the second- and third-order consequences of today’s unprecedented infrastructure spending. This is not a conversation about shiny technology. It is about action. The tools are increasingly available. The problems are visible. The question is: Who is actually going to do something?

A New Way to Understand the Future with Frank Diana | Ep.164
What happens when the old logic of an age can no longer hold? In this fascinating FOBtv conversation, futurists Frank Diana and Kevin Benedict explore why today’s turbulence may be more than disruption—it may be the signal of a civilizational transition already underway. Drawing from history, systems thinking, AI-enabled foresight, and Frank’s powerful new concepts of pressures, possibility chains, pathways, and decision spaces, this discussion helps leaders move beyond trend-watching and toward active rehearsal for the future. If you want to understand how forces across technology, society, economics, geopolitics, philosophy, science, and the environment are converging—and what leaders can do before the future defines them—this is a conversation worth watching and sharing.

Powering the Robotic Revolution with RISE CEO Hiten Sonpal | Ep.163
Most people think about AI when robots are mentioned, but a significant bottleneck to progress in robotics has always been the muscle. For a century, heavy industry has been shackled to leaky, inefficient, analog hydraulics—until now. Join me as I sit down with Hiten Sonpal, CEO of RISE Robotics, the company that just broke a Guinness World Record for the world’s strongest robotic arm. We’re discussing how their "Beltdraulic" technology is delivering a 90% efficiency leap, effectively "electrifying" the heavy-duty world and providing the digital precision that AI-driven machines need to operate autonomously. If you want to know how the physical world will actually be built in 2030, you cannot afford to miss this.

Automated & Agentic Healthcare Systems with Ved Sen | Ep. 161
In this episode of FOBtv, Kevin Benedict sits down with Ved Sen, Head of Innovation for UK & Ireland at Tata Consultancy Services, to explore how artificial intelligence, automation, and intelligent systems are reshaping the future of healthcare. Their conversation moves beyond buzzwords to examine how AI could enhance clinician judgment, enable precision and personalized medicine, and support patients through continuous monitoring using wearables, sensors, and digital twins. They also discuss the emerging role of AI agents and robotics in care delivery, and the deeper systemic questions behind healthcare transformation—who benefits financially when automation succeeds, and how healthcare systems must evolve to fully realize these innovations. If medicine is shifting from episodic treatment to intelligent, always-on health systems, this discussion offers a glimpse into what that future may look like.
