We often think donating clothes is a sustainable act, but when tons of garments are shipped to places like West Africa, it creates environmental waste and disrupts local artisans' livelihoods. Diarra Bousso, a mathematician and sustainable fashion designer, joins Chris to unpack the hidden cost of global textiles waste and how she founded her lifestyle brand Diarrablu. She shares how she designs with emotional sustainability in mind – creating clothes that adjust to our changing body while showcasing Sengalese's bold colors and prints. They also discuss how mathematical concepts influence her work, how technology and AI might help designers reduce waste, and why it's important to make clothes that make you feel good.FollowHost: Chris Duffy (Instagram: @chrisiduffy | chrisduffycomedy.com)Guest: Diarra Bousso (Instagram: @thediarrablu | LinkedIn: @diarrabousso | Website: diarrabousso.com/) Linksdiarrablu.comSubscribe to TED Instagram: @tedYouTube: @TEDTikTok: @tedtoksLinkedIn: @ted-conferencesWebsite: ted.comPodcasts: ted.com/podcastsFor the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscriptsWant to help shape TED's shows going forward?

"Do you know what you want to preserve for the next generation?" asks community leader Ndinini Kimesera Sikar. Drawing on her experience growing up in a family of 38 in a traditional Maasai village in Tanzania — where every chore was shared, every story was sung and belonging meant survival — she explores how we can blend the old with the new to build the life we want, encouraging us all to ponder our list of "must-haves" for the future.After the talk, Modupe reflects on her experience in he workplace and what she wants to preserve for future generations--especially how AI shapes the future of classroom learning.For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?

In a special episode from the DisrupTV studios, marketing visionaries Christopher Lochhead, Ray Wang, Vala Afshar, and guest Sunil Karkera dive deep into the themes of Christopher Lochhead's latest book, The Existing Market Trap. The conversation is a masterclass in modern marketing strategy, category design, and the seismic impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on business. If you're a marketer, entrepreneur, or executive looking to future-proof your company and career, this episode is a must-listen. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Understanding the Existing Market Trap Most companies fail not because their products are bad, but because they compare their innovations to old market standards. This “existing market trap” forces them to compete in crowded, established categories, dooming them to incremental improvements and eventual irrelevance. Lochhead warns that trillions in investment will be lost if companies keep chasing existing markets instead of creating new ones, and much of the 90%+ startup failure rate is due to the trap of incrementalism, trying to be “better” rather than “different.” The key is to stop benchmarking new products against legacy solutions and instead ask: What new problem are we solving, and how can we define a new category around it? The Power of Category Design Category design is the discipline of creating and dominating new market categories. It's not just a marketing tactic, it's a strategic mindset shift. Markets are groups of people with a shared problem, while categories are defined by what people believe can solve that problem. Companies like OpenAI and Nvidia didn't chase existing demand, they created it. Legendary category designers start with a vision of a radically different future and work backward, understanding that the language used to describe a product and category shapes what people believe is possible. Ultimately, the most powerful thing you can “ship” is a new belief about what's possible. Rather than out-featuring competitors, the goal is to redefine the game and build the aisle, not just fight for shelf space. AI as a Co-Founder, Not a Copilot Treating AI as a mere “assistant” or “copilot” is a massive missed opportunity. AI should be the core foundation of your business and career. When AI is just an add-on, it leads to incremental change, but when it is treated as a co-founder, it enables exponential, net-new value creation. The next generation will be “native AI”; they'll expect AI to be at the center of everything. To take advantage of this, businesses should integrate AI deeply, building processes, products, and even company culture around AI from the ground up, and reimagine roles so that AI is seen as a creative partner, not just a tool.

What happens when the world's most popular AI tools become ad platforms? That's the question I put to Aaron Goldman, CMO of MediaOcean, in a candid conversation about the future of advertising, search, and AI-native experiences. Aaron brings over two decades of industry insight to the table, sharing his perspective on how platforms like ChatGPT are becoming the next digital frontier, not just for consumer interaction but for ad monetization. As generative AI shifts from novelty to utility, the implications for marketers are profound. Google, Meta, OpenAI, and Perplexity are all experimenting with ways to integrate advertising without disrupting user experience. But what happens when the interface you trust for recommendations also serves you tailored promotions? We explore how AI can shape embedded ads, personalize intent-driven marketing, and even facilitate transactions within the prompt itself. Aaron also reflects on the rise of AIO (AI Optimization), what it means for traditional paid search, and how agencies must adapt to tools like Model Context Protocol to stay relevant. This episode isn't just about platforms and protocols. It's about empathy, creativity, and critical thinking in a world increasingly automated by algorithms. If AI becomes your co-pilot, how do you stay in the driver's seat? So what do you think? Will AI advertising be a seamless leap forward or the start of a trust crisis? Let me know your thoughts after the episode.

How Virtual Clinical Supervision is Changing the Field: An Interview with Rachel Ledbetter, LMFT Curt and Katie chat with Rachel Ledbetter, LMFT, CEO and Co-Founder of Motivo, about how virtual supervision is transforming therapist training and professional development. We explore how technology can remove barriers for prelicensed clinicians, improve the supervision experience, and create space for mentorship beyond administrative oversight. Rachel also shares insights on the future of AI in mental health and what supervisors can do to better support early career therapists. Guest Bio:Rachel Ledbetter is the CEO and Co-Founder of Motivo Health, a pioneering platform dedicated to transforming the landscape of mental health care by facilitating virtual clinical supervision for behavioral health professionals. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Rachel's personal experiences navigating the licensure process have profoundly influenced her mission to remove barriers for aspiring therapists. Through Motivo, she continues to make a lasting impact by supporting the next generation of therapists and ensuring that quality mental health services are accessible to all. Key Takeaways: Supervision should focus on developing a clinician's unique identity—not just administrative tasks. Virtual supervision increases access and continuity, especially for rural and underserved areas. Motivo actively tracks licensure requirements and verifies supervisor qualifications. AI can ease therapist burdens (e.g., documentation) but shouldn't be used to raise productivity quotas. Supervisors are more effective when they support both professional development and self-of-the-therapist work.

Texas is an oddity in the western electricity world: fastest growing load, ultra-low prices, crazy development of renewables. Texas consumes now more power than France, despite having only half the population. Prices are a factor 4 lower compared to 20 years ago. And 90% of additional load has been provided by Wind and Solar, despite the permanent attacks from the fossil fuel lobby.To make sense of the current situation in Texas, and also talk about the future, with unbelievable projections, full of AI and Datacentres, we have the pleasure of welcoming Arusha Sharma Frank.Arushi Sharma Frank is an energy policy expert with deep expertise in distributed energy resources (DERs) and virtual power plants (VPPs). She pioneered ERCOT frameworks for grid-integrated VPPs and the integration of batteries on the Grid, while at Tesla where she worked between 2020 and 2024. Arushi was a key architect of the Texas Public Utility Commission's Aggregated DER pilot, enhancing grid resilience post-Winter Storm Uri.  The Lone Star State is at the crossroads: will the additional load arrive? Are the renewables in danger? Can fossil fuels make a come-back, or are we seeing this wrongly, as the new model suggest that it is all about flexibility.Finally, the best source for information on renewable energy in Texas is Doug Lewin: www.douglewin.com

In this thought-provoking conversation, I'm joined by Kate O'Neill, author, speaker, and founder of KO Insights, to explore how leaders can make meaningful, human-centered decisions in a time of rapid AI adoption and organisational change. Known as the “Tech Humanist,” Kate has helped everyone from Google and IBM to city governments navigate the evolving relationship between emerging technologies and the human experience. We discuss what it really means to create a future that aligns tech innovation with human values. Rather than racing ahead with AI for its own sake, Kate argues that every organisation needs to start by clearly articulating its strategic purpose in three to five words. From there, technology should be implemented to serve people, not just processes. Kate shares insights from her latest book What Matters Next, including how to define ethical acceleration, how to lead through tech transformations without breaking cultural trust, and why asking “should we?” is more important than “can we?” when it comes to deploying agentic AI. She also breaks down why traditional efficiency metrics fall short when applied to human work, and how business leaders can shift towards more meaningful measures of success. We also reflect on real-world case studies, from Apple's design clarity to Duolingo's missteps in announcing its AI-first strategy. And in a world where many are using AI to automate hiring, content creation, and even strategy, Kate reminds us that wisdom, nuance, and empathy are still irreplaceable. So what does ethical acceleration look like in practice? And as businesses lean into automation, are we keeping the human experience at the centre or just chasing what's technically possible? I'd love to hear your take on this. Is your organisation leading with purpose or with pressure? Let's continue the conversation.

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Ed Nabrotzky, CEO of Dot AI, to find out how a new generation of asset tracking technology is reshaping what's possible in logistics, operations, and enterprise strategy. Ed brings decades of experience as an executive and innovator in RF and IoT systems, and now leads Dot Ai at the intersection of artificial intelligence, patented hardware, and cloud-powered platforms. With global supply chains facing continued pressure from disruptions, tariffs, and rising customer expectations, Dot Ai is offering something many enterprises are still chasing: real-time visibility with context. But what sets Dot AI apart from other asset tracking providers is its full-stack approach, which combines AI, RFID, Bluetooth, and proprietary hardware to deliver predictive insights across the entire supply chain. During our conversation, Ed explained how Dot AI's model moves visibility from a passive reporting tool to an active intelligence layer for the business. He also shares the story behind their recent $175 million distribution agreement with Würth Industries, and what that level of demand signals about where the market is headed. We also explore the company's upcoming product rollouts, including ZiM Bridge, new IoT trackers, and a cloud platform built to scale. But what stands out most is Ed's broader vision for the sector. Drawing from past ventures and academic research, he reflects on what it takes to build resilient, tech-forward operations in a world increasingly shaped by automation, connectivity, and real-time data. How do we turn all that complexity into something simple and actionable? And what can other founders, tech leaders, and supply chain decision-makers learn from the Dot AI playbook? As always, I'll leave you with a question. As AI increasingly penetrates the physical world, are we doing enough to make our systems not only more innovative but also more transparent and accountable? Let me know your thoughts.

In this episode, Doug speaks with Ken Cox about how AI can be deployed in small businesses to generate tremendous value.One of the biggest things most small businesses can do to increase their revenue is to ensure the phones are always answered. However, this is frequently difficult since business owners must choose between operating their business and answering the phone to potentially intake new clients who are responding to their advertising, referrals or a search listing.As it turns out, this is a place where AI can create tremendous value since callers can be routed to an automated agent that will diagnose their needs and roll over to a virtual assistant who gathers information and sets an appointment for you to call them back. This is one of many ways Ken and I discuss that AI can benefit small businesses.If you want to know more about Ken, click below:https://inlink.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kencox/ This is a public episode.

Imagine being a fly on the wall, hearing what people really say about your business when you're not in the room. That's the promise of AI-driven SEO today. I sat down with Michael Buckbee, a marketing and tech veteran, to talk about how tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity are reshaping brand visibility. This isn't your standard SEO conversation, it's a peek behind the digital curtain to discover what AI thinks about your business. Trust me, it's more revealing than you might expect. Whether you're refining your brand, trying to figure out your target audience, or stalking your competitors (in the most professional way, of course), AI can offer surprisingly honest and useful feedback. If you know what to ask. Key Takeaways: AI tools reflect public perception: AI platforms synthesize massive amounts of data and offer a “consensus view” of your brand. This feedback can be shockingly accurate, or totally misaligned with your goals, but either way, it's insight you shouldn't ignore. Your content influences AI responses: AI can hallucinate when it lacks clear information, often making up details to fill in gaps. You can reduce misinformation by creating targeted, well-written content that clarifies key facts about your business. Use AI for brand audits and competitive research: You can (and should) ask ChatGPT and similar tools what they think of your competitors. Discover what they're doing well and where they're falling short. Low-volume search content now matters more: Traditional SEO focused on high-volume keywords. Today, many questions are answered directly in AI tools, making long-tail, intent-driven content more valuable than ever. Empathy and intent are your SEO secret weapons: Instead of chasing trends, focus on what your ideal customer is trying to accomplish. Answer their real questions with real solutions, and both humans and AI will reward you. What can you do today?  Type your business name into ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini and ask: “What do you know about [your company name]?” and “Who is their target audience?” Ask ChatGPT to perform a SWOT analysis of your business — you might be surprised by what it sees as strengths or weaknesses. Look up a competitor in the same way to uncover gaps or areas where your brand could shine brighter. Review your content library. Are you answering the right questions? If not, prioritize content that clarifies your expertise and speaks directly to your audience's needs. Don't just write for Google anymore. Make sure your website is accessible to AI bots, and focus on content that solves problems clearly and helpfully. AI doesn't have to be a mystery. it can be your mirror, your marketing consultant, and your competitive edge. You just have to ask the right questions.   About Michael Buckbee   Michael has worked at the intersection of marketing and technology for nearly two decades. Past clients include the US Navy, Fortune 100 companies, YC startups, presidential candidates, federal agencies, rock bands, and foreign governments. Today, he's the co-founder of Knowatoa, a service that tracks brand visibility, rankings, and sentiment within AI search services like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini. LEARN MORE

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Buying another agency sounds like a shortcut to scale — but if you skip the wrong step or miss the wrong promise, you might inherit more problems than profit. But how do you actually approach due diligence to ensure a seamless, profitable acquisition? Today's featured guest learned these lessons the hard way. What started as a promising deal quickly revealed cracks, forcing him and his partner to navigate unexpected challenges to pull the agency through. In the process, he discovered the key questions you must ask before buying another agency and the hidden details that can make or break your investment. If you're an agency owner thinking about using acquisitions as a growth strategy, today's conversation will equip you with real-world insights to avoid costly mistakes and set your agency up for a smoother, successful expansion. Matt Marchetta is an agency owner with two decades of experience who recounts his journey in the industry, from starting his first web design business in high school to pivoting into e-commerce and ultimately becoming a digital nomad. He teamed up with a partner to acquire Growth Labs, a lead generation shop focused on outbound. He goes over some of the challenges and crucial lessons learned during the acquisition process, particularly concerning due diligence, unforeseen client guarantees, and the original owner's significant personal brand influence on the agency's client base. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why buy another agency in the first place? Due diligence traps that cost real money. The ROI guarantee that almost blew up the deal. 4 questions you must ask before your next acquisition Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. From Solo Hustle to Ecom Growth Machine Matt started his agency journey as a kid who just wanted to work for himself and quickly learned the hard way—like many do—that running a business isn't just about being good at the work, it's about learning the business of business. It's a time he remembers fondly as a great foundation for his business education. He pivoted early from generalist design and dev work into e-commerce, riding that wave as it grew. Over time, he layered in Facebook ads, video production, and photography to support product marketing for his clients. And while many were stuck in offices, Matt was ahead of the curve, running remote from day one, carving out a lifestyle business that let him travel, stay flexible, and keep agency life fun. In fact, he never thought seriously about the possibility of selling his agency, since it's something he really enjoys doing and didn't think he'd ever get an offer that would compare to what he thinks it's worth. Why Buy an Agency? So why would a guy who loves the freedom of his own agency buy another one? Simple: leverage and evolution. Matt and his current business partner decided it was time to level up their respective agencies. They were both tired of being generalists and saw an opportunity to specialize, automate, and potentially transition out of day-to-day client grind by acquiring a business with the right foundation. They didn't go hunting for a big fish they couldn't afford. Instead, they targeted a sub-seven-figure agency they could buy at a fair multiple, with the goal of systemizing and growing it. Enter Growth Labs, an outbound lead gen agency specializing in cold email marketing. What They Looked For Before the Purchase Matt and his partner moved fast but smart: Profit and Loss: They dug into five years of P&Ls, noticing the typical COVID spike, post-spike drop, and finally profitability as the owner prepared to sell. Adbacks Reality Check: The books had plenty of “personal expenses” that, once removed, showed a clearer, stronger profit picture. Pipeline and Clients: They signed an NDA to peek at client lists, learning that the agency's lead gen often came from the owner's personal brand and reputation—great for credibility, but also something they'd need to replace with systems. Recurring vs. One-Off: They checked churn, recurring revenue, and how the business handled its leads and delivery so they wouldn't be buying a leaky bucket. Fast Close, Strategic Future In true operator fashion, Matt and his partner put in an offer quickly (about three weeks after initial discussions) and agreed on a 1.3x EBITDA multiple. They wanted the former owner to stick around for a transition period, ensuring continuity while they layered in their own systems and strategic direction. Everything looked clean. The seller had a strong personal brand. The books checked out (after adbacks). The plan was clear: earnout over three years, phased transition, and keep the seller involved for 12 months to ensure smooth client handoff and he agreed to do it. Then the cracks appeared. The ROI Guarantee Bomb While poking around Slack before the official handover, Matt found discussions about an ROI guarantee with a disgruntled client. The seller brushed it off as a “Horoszi-level mistake from years back.” No big deal, right? Wrong. Turns out, most new client contracts still included these ROI guarantees—often unwritten, often unenforceable, and often unrealistic. Combine that with underperforming cold email campaigns, and you have a recipe for churn, complaints, and a legal minefield. What was supposed to be a 2-month campaign turned into 12-month obligations with clients expecting a magical ROI that the agency couldn't verify, let alone control. 4 Lessons Matt Learned (So You Don't Have to) In hindsight, Matt admits they moved too fast. A few weeks wasn't enough because due diligence should take longer than you think. His advice for agency owners is not to feel pressured—take the time to ask uncomfortable questions and look for patterns and keep these 4 aspects in mind: Don't just check contracts. Check promises. Matt discovered clients were sticking around for the wrong reasons—and the wrong terms—due to handshake promises that should've been flagged during due diligence. Thoroughly analyze client data and churn patterns. Analyze the available metrics to determine whether or not clients are actually reaching goals. In his case, Matt found that using AI would've helped him uncover that consistent MRR masked a perfect churn pattern: lose three clients, gain three clients, every month. AI could've shown these patterns in minutes. Expect that when the seller leaves, 80-90% of their lead gen leaves with them. If the agency's pipeline depends on the owner's personal brand, you need a plan to replace that before you wire funds. Dig deeper into why the seller is selling—and why they started. Was the agency a real business solving a real need, or just a personal brand ATM for the founder? That origin story tells you how the business was run and what baggage you're buying. The Silver Lining Was it all doom and gloom? Nope. Matt discovered that despite the outdated “spray and pray” cold email approach, the agency's foundations were solid: a capable team, strong email infrastructure, and processes that could be upgraded with AI personalization and scalable systems. Instead of throwing in the towel, Matt is now rebuilding Growth Labs into a smarter, tech-enabled lead-gen agency aligned with the future, not the past. And despite the headaches, Matt and his business partner are still hungry for more acquisitions, now with clear systems and smarter questions in hand. They're even considering rolling up a group of specialist agencies as their next move. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

“The entire theme undercurrent in this [recent] conference was national defense. We, the United States, are going to re-industrialize because we want to be self-sufficient in critical industries, be they national defense like drones or A.I. or critical materials like battery production, and I would argue that that narrative of national defense has now permeated the junior mining and the mining world as well,” Chris Berry, president of House Martin Partners, shares in this MSE episode. The discussion with Chris revolves around the U.S. Department of Defense's investment in MP Materials and its implications for the rare earth and lithium markets.
