501. Chanda Coston
1w ago00:35:04Tap to summarizeEmail: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde speaks with Chanda Coston, founder of Chanda Co., a U.S. Navy veteran, business strategist, coach, and Personal PMP/Success Strategist who helps women entrepreneurs in the "third quarter of life" turn their experience into income, build businesses that fit their current season, and move from scattered effort to structured execution without burnout. The conversation follows Chanda's timeline from military service to corporate strategy, consulting, entrepreneurship, and coaching: What does reinvention really require after 40? How can women choose the right business model for the life they are actually living now? Where can technology, automation, and project-management systems create clarity, and where do they quietly fuel overwhelm? Chanda shares practical lessons on confidence, focus, execution, and building a business that supports life instead of consuming it.

499. Can an AI Agent Legally Own a Company?
2w ago00:35:14Tap to summarizeEmail: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde explores a provocative question at the intersection of artificial intelligence, law, business, and society: can an AI agent legally own a company? Through real-world incidents involving AI in the boardroom, chatbot liability, DAOs, and emerging agentic AI systems, Bidemi examines where today's law draws the line between automation, control, and accountability. If an AI agent can negotiate, decide, spend, and manage, who is responsible when something goes wrong? Could future companies be legally owned by machines, or will humans always remain the accountable parties behind the code? And how can society embrace powerful AI tools while preserving healthy, transparent, and responsible uses of technology?

What does the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak reveal about modern contact tracing? Why did Spirit Airlines collapse so suddenly? How close are humanoid robots to becoming a real industrial force? And what does Anthropic's compute deal with Elon Musk-linked infrastructure tell us about the future of AI power? This episode connects the week's biggest stories to one larger question: what happens when the systems we depend on become faster, more connected, and more fragile at the same time?

Who benefits when robots take on repetitive or dangerous work? What happens to privacy when robots enter personal spaces? And how can society make sure humanoid robots expand human well-being rather than quietly reshape life on terms we did not choose?
