Transcribe →174. Barry Libert. Beyond the Hype: Spotting and Scaling What Actually Wins in AI.
1w ago00:20:51Tap to summarizeToday’s guest has spent over four decades at the intersection of technology, strategy, and scale. From McKinsey to the boardroom to building companies himself, Barry Libert has seen wave after wave of innovation, and more importantly, he’s learned how to tell what actually lasts. In this episode, we go beyond the hype of AI to explore the quiet revolution happening beneath the surface, where real-time data, platforms, and infrastructure are quietly reshaping how businesses operate and win. We talk about the early decisions that shape billion-dollar outcomes, how to spot durable AI opportunities before they’re obvious, and the subtle signals that separate companies that scale… from those that stall. If you care about building the future of AI, not just talking about it, this one’s for you.
Transcribe →173. Alon Bochman. The Coding Revolution.
1w ago00:31:57Tap to summarizeAI is at an inflection point: everyone’s talking about it, but very few are turning it into real, measurable business value. Why do some companies break through while others stay stuck in experimentation? As agents and orchestration redefine how software is built, what does this shift actually mean for engineers on the ground? To unpack this, I’m joined by Alon Bochman, someone who’s been working in AI long before the current hype cycle. Alon is a fractional AI executive who helps enterprises and startups turn AI from buzzword into business value. He’s led AI transformations that saved tens of millions and unlocked new revenue streams, including scaling an AI consulting practice to over $1B in just four years and growing portfolios from thousands to tens of millions annually. He’s co-founded and exited a startup to Thomson Reuters, helped GenAI companies secure funding, and worked hands-on as a CTO-for-hire. With that mix of deep history and hands-on execution, Alon is the perfect person to explore what’s actually changed in AI, why some companies win, how engineering is evolving, and what bets are worth making right now. Enjoy!
Transcribe →172. Josh Marquart. Rebuilding Healthcare Around The Patient.
2w ago00:26:07Tap to summarizeFor decades, healthcare treated patients like passengers in a system they didn’t control—long waits, limited transparency, and very little choice. But that model is starting to crack. Today, we’re exploring what happens when healthcare starts treating patients more like consumers—people who expect clarity, convenience, and real agency over their care. What role does technology play in making that possible? How far can AI go in transforming the patient experience? And where does the idea of “consumer healthcare” run into the messy reality of life-and-death decisions? To unpack all of that, I’m joined by Josh Marquart, a healthcare and technology executive who has spent years working with providers, health systems, and digital health platforms to rethink how care is delivered and experienced. Josh brings a deep perspective on how policy, technology, and patient expectations are colliding—and where healthcare is headed next.
Transcribe →171. Charles Griffith. From Amazon Logistics to the Future of Retail Supply Chains.
2w ago00:21:14Tap to summarizeToday on The Future Of The Future, I’m joined by Charles Griffith, a technologist who helped build part of the early foundation behind Amazon's logistics infrastructure. Retail logistics is being pushed to its limits. Customers expect everything faster, supply chains are more fragile than ever, and the systems that move goods around the world are under enormous pressure to become smarter, faster, and more resilient. Today, we’ll explore how technology has transformed the logistics landscape—from the early architectures that made modern fulfillment possible to the emerging technologies reshaping how goods are tracked, moved, and delivered. We’ll also dig into why data, collaboration, and new leadership mindsets will determine which retailers survive the next decade and which fall behind. Enjoy!
Transcribe →170. Seth Hollar. From Academia To Entrepreneurship.
3w ago00:37:05Tap to summarizeEvery year, universities produce groundbreaking research, new algorithms, new hardware, new scientific breakthroughs. But turning those ideas into real products that solve real problems in the world is a completely different challenge. There’s often what people call the “valley of death” between a promising proof of concept in the lab and a scalable, commercially viable technology. Crossing that gap requires not just technical brilliance, but a deep understanding of customers, markets, and the realities of building a company. Today’s guest has spent his career right at that intersection. Dr. Seth Hollar is the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of WISER Systems, a company developing advanced real-time location and tracking technology using ultra-wideband radio systems to help industries track assets with extreme precision. He’s been the primary inventor behind key innovations in the company’s technology and has helped build a growing portfolio of patents in real-time localization systems. Before building WISER, Seth worked across some of the most demanding environments in engineering—from aerospace work at Lockheed Martin on space exploration missions, to research in MEMS and nanotechnology as a fellow at Toshiba, and later shaping the next generation of founders as Associate Director of the Engineering Entrepreneurs Program at North Carolina State University. With degrees from MIT and a PhD from UC Berkeley, he has spent decades thinking about how deep technical innovation actually makes its way from research labs into real-world impact. In this conversation, we’re going to talk about that journey—what it takes to translate academic research into real companies, the mindset shift from scientist to founder, and how deep-tech innovators can bridge the long road between breakthrough ideas and scalable products.
Transcribe →169. David Pisarek. Digital Strategy For Non-Profits.
3w ago00:24:09Tap to summarizeTechnology often gets framed as a tool for profit, scale, and disruption. But another powerful story is unfolding in the digital world—one where technology becomes a force for social good. Today’s episode explores that intersection: how thoughtful digital strategy can help mission-driven organizations amplify their impact, reach more people, and ultimately change lives. Nonprofits and charities often operate with limited resources, yet they face increasingly complex digital challenges—from building effective websites to communicating their mission, raising donations, and engaging communities online. When the digital foundation is right, it can multiply an organization’s impact. When it’s not, even the most meaningful missions can struggle to reach the audiences that need them most. That’s exactly where today’s guest has dedicated much of his career. David Pisarek is the founder and CEO of Wow Digital, a digital agency focused exclusively on helping nonprofits, charities, and mission-driven organizations succeed online. With roots in web development going back to the early days of the internet in the 1990s, David has spent decades building expertise across web design, UX, digital marketing, and strategic planning. Over the years, he’s led hundreds of digital projects for organizations in healthcare, education, and the nonprofit sector, helping them modernize their digital presence and better serve their communities. Today we’re going to talk about technology for social good, leadership and entrepreneurship in the digital space, and what it takes to help mission-driven organizations thrive in an increasingly digital world.
Transcribe →168. Craig M. Robinson. The Happiness Reboot.
4w ago00:38:03Tap to summarizeThis episode is about happiness. What is happiness? When, how, and why do we feel happy or unhappy? We are taught that the "right" career, the "right" marriage, and the "right" faith are the blueprints for a joyful life. Yet, for many, the reality is a persistent and gnawing sense that even after checking most of the proverbial boxes, something is still missing. So why do we keep doubling down on the scripts that fail to deliver on the promise of happiness? Today, I have the privilege of interviewing Craig Robinson, C-suite executive, professor, advisor, and most importantly, author of the newly released book, *The Happiness Reboot*. Rather than offering a “get happy quick” formula, his book provides simple yet effective frameworks to replace your deepest-held convictions with a spirit of curiosity. For those who have tried to do everything “right” but still feel happiness eluding them, this episode, and the book behind it, might be the first step on your new path. Enjoy!
