168. Craig M. Robinson. The Happiness Reboot.
1w 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!
Transcribe →167. Kamil Mansuri. From Phone Carriers to Ai Voice Agents And Back.
2w ago00:24:43Tap to summarizeWelcome to another episode of The Future of the Future. Today we’re exploring the journey from engineer to founder—and what it takes to turn years of technical experience into a company solving meaningful problems. My guest is Kamil Mansuri, a technologist and entrepreneur who has worked at companies like Comcast, Take-Two Interactive, and Vapor IO, building systems at scale before eventually launching his own startup. In this conversation, we talk about how Kamil first got into technology, the formative experiences that shaped his career, and the technical and leadership skills he developed along the way. We also dive into the origin story of Telepath—the problem it aims to solve, the challenges of building it, and what it takes to lead a team and create a strong culture as a founder. Finally, we reflect on the lessons from his journey and the advice he’d give to aspiring tech founders who want to build impactful products. Enjoy!
Transcribe →166. Natalia Castellucci. Strategy And Leadership For Finance Leaders.
2w ago00:27:57Tap to summarizeThe role of the CFO has changed dramatically. Today, it’s no longer just about financial reporting or managing risk, it’s about strategy, leadership, and helping organizations make better decisions in complex, fast-moving environments. CFOs are expected to be true business partners, talent developers, and increasingly, coaches within their organizations. At the same time, leadership itself is evolving. Skills like influence, communication, and people development are becoming just as critical as technical expertise. And now, with AI reshaping how work gets done, finance leaders are being challenged to rethink how teams operate, how decisions are made, and what effective leadership really looks like going forward. To unpack all of this, I’m joined by Natalia Castellucci. Natalia has built her career from early roles in finance all the way to the CFO seat, where she’s operated at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and organizational development. Along the way, she developed a strong focus on coaching, working closely with leaders and teams to help them grow, stay motivated, and perform at their best. In this conversation, we’ll explore what makes a CFO a strategic asset today, the skills finance leaders must cultivate, the leadership lessons Natalia has learned throughout her career, her transition into coaching, and how she sees AI influencing the future of work, leadership, and finance.
Transcribe →165. Rich McGhee. Three Levels Of AI Adoption: Productivity, Automation And Innovation.
3w ago00:31:12Tap to summarizeArtificial intelligence is everywhere, but most companies still don’t really understand what it means to implement it. My guest today, Rich McGhee, argues that AI actually operates across three distinct layers: productivity, automation, and innovation, and that confusing these layers is one of the biggest mistakes organizations are making right now. In this episode, we talk about the future balance between humans and machines in the workplace, what the “man vs. machine ratio” might look like by 2030, and why AI could reshape not just businesses, but entire economies, especially as aging societies face workforce shortages. Enjoy!
Transcribe →164. John Karsant. LevelUp Your Sales Game.
3w ago00:26:33Tap to summarizeOutbound sales is one of those areas of tech where everyone wants results, but very few teams get it right. Today’s guest is John Karsant, a sales operator and entrepreneur who’s spent years deep in the trenches of B2B outbound, pipeline creation, and sales development. John is the founder of LevelUp Leads, an SDR and outbound sales company helping startups and growth-stage teams build predictable pipeline without burning out their internal sales orgs. In a world where inboxes are crowded, buyers are more skeptical than ever, and AI is changing how outreach is done, LevelUp Leads is tackling a very real problem: how do you run outbound in a way that actually works, consistently, ethically, and at scale? In this episode, we’ll talk about John’s path into sales and tech, what pushed him to start LevelUp Leads, the mistakes companies keep making with SDRs and outbound, and how he thinks about the future of sales development in an increasingly automated world. Let’s dive in.
Transcribe →163. Toan Dang. Intentional Outbound.
4w ago00:34:41Tap to summarizeToday’s conversation is about outbound, but not the kind you usually hear about. My guest is Toan Dang, someone who’s spent nearly two decades in outbound sales, not just running plays, but surviving them. Long before outbound became a discipline full of tools, dashboards, and frameworks, Toan learned it the hard way: through pressure, uncertainty, and the need to make judgment calls when there was no playbook to lean on. In an era where sales teams have more data than ever, more signals, more activity metrics, and more automation, outbound somehow feels harder—not easier. And Toan has a sharp perspective on why. He argues that the real bottleneck in modern sales isn’t effort or messaging, but decision-making. Knowing what to do matters far less than knowing when to do it, and when not to. Toan is also a surfer, so we’ll explore the parallels between outbound and the ocean... patience, timing, reading signals, and the discipline of knowing when to paddle hard and when to wait. This isn’t an episode about doing more outbound. It’s about doing it with better judgment. Enjoy!
Transcribe →162. The 3 Cs Of Leadership, by Lynn Cheramie.
Apr 1600:41:06Tap to summarizeToday, I’m joined by Lynn Cheramie, a seasoned technology and cybersecurity leader with decades of experience operating at the intersection of strategy, risk, and people. Over the course of his career, Lynn has held senior leadership roles where the stakes are high and the margin for error is slim, in environments that demand not just technical excellence, but clarity of thought, strong values, and real leadership. His journey offers a front-row seat into what it actually takes to lead teams, make hard decisions, and stay grounded in moments of uncertainty. In this conversation, we explore Lynn’s professional path and the key milestones that shaped him as a leader, why leadership matters more than ever today, and what truly defines a good leader beyond titles and frameworks. We also dig into the idea of whether leadership can be taught, the role belief systems play in guiding leaders through complexity, and whether we’re facing a broader leadership crisis in modern organizations. Enjoy!
Transcribe →161. Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya. The Asymmetrical Value Of Soft Skills.
Apr 1400:45:54Tap to summarizeToday’s episode is about something that sounds simple but is incredibly hard to scale: building high-performing teams without compromising kindness. In a world obsessed with speed, metrics, and technical excellence, we’re exploring a different competitive edge, the power of nice people, strong culture, and values-driven leadership. Our guest today is Mahesh Paolini Subramanya, a seasoned technology leader with a track record of building and scaling engineering organizations across global environments. His trajectory spans major leadership milestones, he has delivered results and shaped cultures where collaboration, trust, and high standards coexist. If you care about leadership, scaling teams, hiring right, and building organizations where performance and kindness reinforce each other, this episode is for you.
Transcribe →160. Yevgeny Khessin. Harnessing The Data Coming From Your Car.
Apr 900:30:08Tap to summarizeToday’s guest is Yevgeny Khessin, CEO and founder at DIMO, a Company that is helping reshape one of the most entrenched industries in the world: automotive. Yevgeny's journey spans software, blockchain infrastructure, and building products in emerging tech ecosystems, but what makes his work stand out is the ambition behind it. DIMO isn’t just another connected-car platform. It’s a decentralized mobility network designed to give drivers ownership of their vehicle data, something traditionally controlled by OEMs and legacy telematics providers. At a time when data sovereignty, privacy, and interoperability are becoming defining themes of the digital economy, Yevgeny is applying those principles to the physical world, starting with cars. In this episode, we’ll explore Yevgeny’s path into tech, what led him to build in mobility, and how decentralized networks could fundamentally change the relationship between people, their vehicles, and the data they generate.
Transcribe →159. Christopher Kunney. The Silver Tsunami.
Apr 700:35:22Tap to summarizeToday, we’re diving into one of the most powerful and underestimated forces reshaping our world: the Silver Tsunami, the rise of the Silver Economy, and the role of technology in an aging society. As populations around the globe grow older, the social, economic, and technological implications are profound. This isn’t just a demographic shift, it’s a transformation that will redefine healthcare, work, innovation, and how we design products and services for the future. To help us unpack this, I’m joined by Christopher Kunney, a global digital health leader, AgeTech advocate, and speaker whose work sits at the intersection of aging, innovation, and impact. Christopher has been a vocal thought leader on the Silver Tsunami and the opportunities within the Silver Economy, and his deeply personal TEDx Talk has inspired many to rethink how we approach longevity, healthcare, and human-centered technology. This will be a conversation about longevity, opportunity, responsibility, and designing a future that works for all ages. Enjoy!
