220. Pat Garvey. The Future Belongs To The Architects.
AI has made it possible to build software faster than ever. You can go from idea to working prototype in a single afternoon. But turning that prototype into something secure, scalable, reliable, and affordable is a completely different challenge. Today's guest is Patrick Garvey, Azure AI Architect and Consultant, who spends his time helping organizations bridge that gap. We'll talk about where "vibe coding" ends and engineering begins, the cloud architecture mistakes AI is making easier to create, why security and governance matter more than ever, and the "web-shaped" skills engineers need to thrive in the AI era. If you're building software with AI—or leading teams that are—this conversation is for you.

219. Ken Kruszka. AI In The Payments Industry.
Today's conversation is about one of the biggest questions in financial services: what happens when AI doesn't just recommend decisions, but starts making payments? To help us separate what's real from what's hype, I'm joined by Ken Kruszka, whose career spans payments, fintech, money movement, banking partnerships, and emerging payment infrastructure. We'll start by looking at what the history of payments teaches us, explore what's becoming possible with AI agents, examine the technical, regulatory, and trust barriers that still stand in the way, discuss who is responsible when autonomous systems make mistakes, and finish with where AI is already delivering value—and what banks, fintechs, and payment leaders should be doing today to prepare for what's next.

218. Jim Hunter. Harnessing The Power Of Your Data, Sci Fi, And More.
Data has become the currency of the digital world. Every app we use, every AI model we interact with, and every connected device we own depends on collecting, storing, and sharing information about us. But as AI accelerates, a fundamental question becomes impossible to ignore: who actually owns our data, and who should control it? Today's guest believes the way we've approached privacy is fundamentally broken. After decades building technology companies, leading product innovation, and helping shape the connected-device revolution, he's now focused on tackling one of technology's biggest challenges through his latest venture, Mementom. Today we'll talk about the future of data privacy, why this problem matters more than ever in the age of AI, the story behind Mementom, Jim's journey through the technology industry, and what comes next.

217. Nathan Platter. Storytelling To Help Data Engineers Connect With Their Audience.
Data analysts have traditionally lived behind dashboards, reports, and SQL queries. But in an AI-powered world where technical skills are becoming increasingly democratized, the biggest competitive advantage may no longer be building insights—it may be influencing decisions. Today's guest believes the future of analytics isn't in the back office—it's sitting alongside sales, helping customers solve real business problems. Nathan Platter is a senior analytics leader, consultant, and founder of Platter Analytics, with a career spent turning data into business outcomes rather than just reports. He operates at the intersection of analytics, strategy, and customer engagement, challenging data professionals to become trusted advisors instead of ticket-takers. In this episode, we explore why analysts should move closer to revenue, how engineers can develop the people skills needed to thrive in customer-facing roles, what success looks like when analytics is embedded in sales, and why the next generation of data professionals may be measured less by the dashboards they build—and more by the decisions they help drive.

216. Al Nawab. Business Process Management In The Age Of AI.
Every company wants to use AI to automate more work, but before automating a process, you must first understand it. What makes a good business process? When is it actually ready for AI? And what happens when intelligent agents become active participants in how work gets done? Today, I'm joined by Al Nawab, a leader at the intersection of business process management and enterprise AI, to explore how organizations can redesign their operations in the age of intelligent automation.

215. Joel B. Feldman. From Knowing To Acting.
We all know people who seem to have every answer. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, attended the workshops, and can explain exactly what great leadership looks like. So why is it often the people who know the most who struggle to make the decisions that matter? In this episode, we're exploring the space between knowing and doing. Why do smart, capable leaders get stuck? Why do we avoid the conversations, decisions, and risks that could move us forward? And what finally allows someone to stop overthinking and start acting? Joining me today is Joel B. Feldman, whose work focuses on helping leaders break through that gap and execute with greater clarity and courage.

214. Jodie Herbert. Trust, Flexibility, and the Fight for Exceptional Talent.
Everyone says they want more inclusive workplaces. But good intentions don't retain great people—great implementation does. As AI reshapes how we work and organizations rethink flexibility, leadership, and performance, the companies that thrive will be the ones that know how to turn policy into practice. Today's guest is Jodie Herbert, founder of Ability Pathways Australia, a workplace inclusion strategist, disability advocate, and someone who has spent more than two decades helping organizations close the gap between what they promise and what actually happens on the ground. Combining deep analytical expertise with lived experience as a carer, Jodie has become a leading voice on building workplaces where flexibility isn't a perk—it's a competitive advantage. We're going to talk about the future of work, why trust beats control, and what leaders can do today to keep exceptional people.

213. Dr. MJ Vignone. Emotionally Intelligent Leadership.
AI is making us faster, more automated, and increasingly connected to machines—but what happens to the human side of leadership when so much of our work can be delegated to technology? Today I’m joined by Dr. MJ Vignone, an executive coach, keynote speaker, and leadership expert who has spent more than 20 years working in leadership and organizational development. She holds a PhD in Human and Organizational Systems, an MBA, and an ICF-accredited coaching credential, and has held senior leadership roles, designed leadership programs, and coached leaders across industries. MJ is also the host of HeartWired: Emotionally-Intelligent Leadership for an AI World, a podcast exploring the intersection of technology, humanity, and leadership—and why emotional intelligence may be the defining human advantage in the AI era. Today, we’ll dig into why EQ matters more as AI gets smarter, whether we’re facing a connection crisis, and what leaders need to protect—and strengthen—as machines take on more of the work.

212. James Robson. Ethical Data Sharing.
Data sits at the heart of almost everything modern organisations do—but the more valuable data becomes, the more important it is to know how to use it responsibly. In this episode, I’m joined by James Robson, a data protection and responsible-data specialist who works with charities, research organisations and other mission-led teams to handle sensitive data, enable responsible data sharing and build trust. He brings a particularly interesting perspective because his experience spans both the public and mission-driven sectors: in 2023, James became Data Protection Officer for the UK Labour Party, giving him first-hand experience of managing data protection in one of the UK’s most complex political organisations. Today, his focus is on helping organisations move beyond simply complying with privacy rules toward using responsible data practices as a foundation for trust and innovation. We’ll explore what ethical data sharing really means, whether GDPR should be seen as a brake or a growth lever, how Europe and the US approach data differently, and what happens to all of this as AI fundamentally changes how data is collected, analysed and used.

211. Francis Rodino. Noise vs Trust. Marketing in the AI Age.
AI has made it easier than ever to create content, launch campaigns, and generate leads. But it's also created an internet flooded with noise. So how do you build a marketing engine that's not just automated, but authentic? And how do you create predictable growth without losing the human element that actually earns trust? Today's guest is Francis Rodino—AI Growth Architect, Founder of Lead Hero, Fractional CMO, and author of Leads Machine. For more than 25 years, he's helped businesses turn messy sales and marketing processes into predictable growth systems, while championing a simple idea: in the age of AI, the brands that win will be the ones that feel the most human.

210. Carl Rosenberg. Assumptology.
Assumptions are invisible. They're the stories we tell ourselves before we have all the facts, and they shape everything from everyday conversations to billion-dollar business decisions. In technology, where AI, automation, and rapid innovation amplify both good and bad decisions, unchecked assumptions can become costly mistakes. Today's guest is Carl-Johan Rosenberg, creator of the concept of Assumptology, a framework for understanding how assumptions influence our thinking, decisions, and organizations. In this conversation, we'll explore why assumptions matter, the hidden risks they create, how to challenge them more effectively, and why mastering this skill may be one of the most important advantages in the age of AI.

209. Ran Aroussi. Simplicity Is The Key For AI Adoption.
AI is changing how we build software—but the biggest shift isn't the models. It's how we think about engineering, leadership, and the role of developers in an AI-first world. Few people have a better perspective on that than Ran Aroussi. After more than 35 years in software, creating the hugely popular open-source library yfinance, and now helping companies build AI into the way they operate, he's seen multiple technology revolutions up close. Today, we're talking about what actually changes in the age of AI, what doesn't, and how to build organizations that are ready for what's next.

208. Ben Montgomery. The Story, Present and Future Of Premium Parking.
Some of the most important technologies in our lives are the ones we barely notice. They don't grab headlines or go viral, they simply work, quietly powering the systems that keep our cities moving. From payments to logistics to parking, great infrastructure often succeeds by becoming invisible. Today's guest has spent years helping transform one of those industries. As technology has reshaped everything from mobile payments to AI-powered operations, Ben Montgomery has been at the forefront of evolving Premium Parking from a traditional parking operator into a technology-driven platform. In this conversation, we'll explore what it takes to modernize legacy industries, why reliability is often a greater competitive advantage than novelty, and how the most impactful innovation is sometimes the kind that disappears into everyday life. If you've ever wondered how technology quietly becomes indispensable infrastructure, and what founders can learn from building businesses in industries most people overlook, this episode is for you.

207. Rockwell Scott. On Cybersecurity. Human Intelligence For Vigilant Enterprise.
For twenty years, the industry has called your employees the weakest link. Better tools, tighter controls, more training, and still the breach walks in through a convincing email. Here's what changed. AI killed the tells. The typos are gone, the grammar is clean, and the voice on the phone sounds exactly like your CFO. The most important security decision in your company today gets made by someone in finance at 4pm, under pressure, who has never met your security team. My guest says the answer isn't more technology. It's human intelligence, built into the enterprise before the crisis arrives. Rockwell Scott has been the operator, the analyst, and the vendor. CIO and CSO in the energy sector, executive partner at Forrester, leadership roles at Microsoft and Ingram Micro, and today SVP and Chief Digital Transformation Officer at NORC at the University of Chicago. His new book is H.I.V.E., Human Intelligence for Vigilant Enterprise. Enjoy!

206. Jake Dubin. Human Judgement In An AI Native World.
AI is making it easier than ever to build software; but building software faster doesn't necessarily mean building it better. As code becomes cheaper to generate, engineering judgment becomes more valuable, not less. Today's guest, Jake Dubin, has spent more than 25 years building and scaling technology companies through multiple waves of innovation. From engineering and architecture to CTO, founder, and inventor, he's seen firsthand that while AI is changing how we create software, it hasn't changed the fundamentals: great architecture, security, scalability, testing, and human accountability still matter. In this conversation, we explore where AI genuinely transforms software development, where the hype gets ahead of reality, and why the future belongs not to AI alone, but to teams that know how to combine AI speed with human judgment.

205. Saurin Shah. When Execution Is Free, What Should We Build?
Technology has always rewarded people who could build. But as AI makes execution faster, cheaper, and more accessible than ever, a new question is emerging: if almost anyone can build almost anything, how do we decide what's actually worth building? Today's guest is Saurin Shah, a product and technology leader who has spent his career at the intersection of engineering, product strategy, and innovation. We'll explore how the roles of engineers, designers, and product leaders are converging, why creativity may become the most valuable skill in the AI era, what experiences shaped his approach to innovation, and what continues to drive him to build what's next. This is a conversation about the future of product leadership, creativity, and making better decisions in a world where execution is becoming abundant.

204. Julian Reeve. Unmistakable Identity.
As AI reshapes the way we work, it's easy to get caught up in questions about what jobs will change or which skills will become obsolete. But perhaps the more important question is this: what makes us uniquely human, and why will those qualities matter even more in an AI-powered world? Today's guest believes that while AI is transforming what we do, it doesn't have to change who we are. Julian Reeve is a keynote speaker, burnout specialist, and creator of the Intentional Synthesis™ framework. After surviving a heart attack that forced him to rethink his career and identity, Julian has dedicated his work to helping leaders and organizations build resilience, prevent burnout, and unlock the human capabilities that technology can never replace. In this conversation, we explore the future of leadership in the age of AI, why burnout is a systems problem rather than a personal failure, how leaders can use AI to strengthen, not replace, human judgment, and the habits that help people stay creative, adaptable, and deeply human in a rapidly changing world.

203. Marcelo SanMartin. A Pragmatic Approach For AI.
Everyone is talking about AI, but buying the latest tools isn't the same as transforming a business. So what does digital transformation actually look like in the age of AI? Where should leaders start, what mistakes should they avoid, and what will separate the companies that thrive from the ones that get left behind? To help us answer those questions, I'm joined by Marcelo SanMartin, a technology and business transformation executive who's spent his career helping organizations navigate major shifts. We dive into what AI means beyond the hype, how it's reshaping strategy, leadership, and the workforce, and what practical steps CEOs can take today to create real business value.

202. Anuj Gupta. SimForge And Physical AI.
Today's AI can write, code, and reason, but what happens when it leaves the screen and starts interacting with the real world? That's where physical AI comes in, and it could be the next major leap in technology. In this episode, I'm joined by Anuj Gupta, founder and CEO of SimForge, to explore how simulation is becoming the foundation for training intelligent machines. We dive into what physical AI really means, why this moment is different, the challenges of building at the intersection of AI and robotics, and Anuj's own journey from moving to the US to building a deep-tech startup from the ground up. Let's get into it.

201. Alisha Outridge. The AI Founder Playbook.
Today's AI can write code, build prototypes, and launch products faster than ever before. But if building has become easy, figuring out what's actually worth building has become the real competitive advantage. Today's guest has spent more than 15 years building products at Meta, Reuters, TuneCore, and high-growth startups, and now helps founders avoid the biggest mistake in AI: creating products nobody actually wants to pay for. She's the creator of the AI Founder Playbook, where she teaches entrepreneurs to think like product leaders before they think like AI builders.
