How do you transform banks that have been built over centuries for a world where artificial intelligence operates 10 times faster than the digital revolution? We're not just talking about implementing new technology; we're reimagining banking for customers who interact daily with AI assistants and may soon entrust their money management entirely to intelligent systems. However, banks that rush into action without understanding their organizational and cultural legacies will find their investments yielding disappointing results. The issue isn't the technology; it's that we equate activity with progress, making top-down decisions that overlook what's happening on the ground. Our guest on the Banking Transformed podcast, Sophie Heller, is the newly appointed Chief Transformation Officer at BNP Paribas CPBS, bringing a unique perspective that combines strategic technology leadership with deep insights from behavioral sciences and organizational sociology. Today, we explore why the pause before progress might be more important than the speed of implementation, how behavioral sciences are becoming essential tools for transformation leaders, and what it takes to redesign banking for an AI-powered world. Welcome to Shaping Banking's Next – podcast episodes hosted by Jim Marous and brought to you by Infosys Finacle and Qorus Global.

In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, we sit down with Kasim Aslam — serial entrepreneur, "world's greatest failure" (his words), and founder of multiple multimillion-dollar businesses. Raised by a blind single mother in Albuquerque, Kasim brings raw authenticity, humor, and hard-earned wisdom to the conversation. We talk about the future of hiring in a post-AI world, how to attract top 1% talent, and why valuing people as individuals—not resources—is the only way to scale sustainably. Kasim drops actionable insights on everything from international hiring and his “Pareto Talent” philosophy to how large corporations lose their soul as they grow.

For most of my career in neuroscience, I believed the brain alone governed who we are—shaped by genetics, evolution, and early life experiences. I trusted in the power of brain imaging and genomics to reveal the answers. But after decades spent mapping neural circuits, a deeper truth emerged:We are not isolated minds in skulls. We are wired to connect.In this episode, I explore the revolutionary science of interbrain synchrony—how our brains light up in rhythm with others when we're emotionally attuned, collaborating, or solving problems together. Thanks to researchers like Dr. Joy Hirsch, we now understand our ability to thrive may not reside solely in the brain, but between us.As AI disrupts our workplaces and rewires our attention, we're increasingly disconnected—from ourselves, each other, and our natural states of flow. But what if we could reclaim connection? What if the edge we need in this uncertain age isn't more speed or knowledge, but more synchrony?Drawing parallels from nature—like how fish shoal and school to protect, move, and thrive together—I share a new vision for leadership and learning: designing environments where team flow becomes the norm, not the exception.This episode is an invitation to rethink intelligence, leadership, and the future of work—through the lens of relational neuroscience.

In the 50th episode of Two by Two, hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan examine the contrasting open-source trajectories of China, the US, and India in the context of AI, and where India fell short.While China, despite being authoritarian, has surged ahead in open-source AI leadership with models like DeepSeek R1, India has fallen behind. The 2010s are framed as a “lost decade” for Indian open source, characterised by a vibrant tech ecosystem that failed to foster a meaningful contribution culture.China's rise can be attributed to its unique mix of strategic intent, creative insecurity (following the Huawei ban in 2019), and human capital. It views open source as a geopolitical tool, not a philosophy. India, by contrast, is stuck in a “third way”—neither as open and capitalistic as the US nor as strategically pragmatic as China.What would it take for Indian to do the same?Bring academia to the forefront, fund open source efforts without restrictions, and build a developer culture driven by curiosity, not just career advancement. Open source needs to be viewed more broadly than just code—it's an innovation infrastructure and a form of digital autonomy. Without this shift, India risks missing the AI bus entirely.And joining them for the discussion are two wonderful guests.Pranay Kotasthane is deputy director at the Takshashila Institution and chairs its High Tech Geopolitics Programme. He co-writes Anticipating the Unintended, a newsletter on public policy ideas and frameworks, and co-hosts Puliyabaazi, a popular Hindi-Urdu podcast on politics, policy, and technology.Kailash Nadh is the CTO of Zerodha*.

A conversation with Kelly Twigger, an E-Discovery veteran and founder of ESI Attorneys and Minerva26. Kelly shares her journey into E-Discovery, stemming from the first-ever ABA event on the topic in the early 2000s, and the rapid evolution of case law and technology that led her to develop E-Discovery Assistant which has now been rebranded Minerva 26. The discussion delves into how Minerva 26, a strategic command center for E-Discovery, curates case law, rules, checklists, and offers on-demand education. Kelly explains the reasoning behind rebranding from "E-Discovery Assistant" to "Minerva 26," emphasizing the shift from data tools to knowledge and strategic insight. The conversation also explores the current challenges legal professionals face in adopting technology, the impact of AI on the legal industry, and the need for updated federal rules of civil procedure to address technological advancements. Key Takeaways: Proactive E-Discovery: The importance of engaging with E-Discovery issues early in a case to save time and money, and to maximize the utility of electronically stored information (ESI). Technology's Transformative Power: ESI, unlike paper, offers immense opportunities to leverage technology for more efficient and effective legal analysis and fact-finding. Overcoming Fear and Expense: The primary barriers to technology adoption in the legal field are fear and perceived expense, which can be overcome through education and strategic planning. AI's Role in Legal: AI is not replacing lawyers but enhancing their capabilities by improving efficiency, accuracy, and providing valuable insights. The Need for Rule Updates: The rapidly changing technological landscape necessitates updates to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to provide clarity and consistency, especially concerning issues like control over personal devices and the use of advanced E-Discovery tools like Technology Assisted Review (TAR).

In this episode, we break down Google's E-E-A-T framework and explain how brands — especially small businesses — can future-proof their content and earn visibility in an evolving search landscape.

Over the past few months, I've been having a lot of deep conversations about creativity, authenticity, and the role of AI in amplifying one's voice into the world. Yesterday, I sent an email announcement sharing the backstory of my Soul Songs music project. Afterward, I received the following message from a long-time member of my community. Someone I deeply respect and appreciate for the care and honesty with which they shared: Hi, Cliff! Congratulations on your explorations. I wonder, though, how much of this is creation from you? Was this made by AI? There were aspects of its resonance that did not feel like it was coming from a human. I find your writing sometimes is too familiar of a ChatGPT voice and I miss YOUR voice. I dip in sometimes to see what Chat has to say about things I'm working on. And I am occasionally inclined to lean in and use some of its phrasing. But I also do my darndest to keep my own authentic voice inside of anything I put out. And I'm hoping you are pausing to do the same. I hope this isn't an overreach. You are someone I trust and admire for your journey and the way you show up in the world. I speak only to truly call you to your highest self, if it is needed. And apologies if I'm making perceptual leaps that are not connected to reality. Your friend and fan, [name removed] The truth is, this question reflects something I've been processing quite a bit lately. What is my authentic voice? Where does AI fit into my creative process? What should I disclose? What's actually happening beneath the surface when we collaborate with these emerging tools? I responded to this email with great care. And after I sent my reply, I felt an immediate pull to go even deeper. I set down in front of the microphone to record this fully unscripted, unfiltered, stream-of-consciousness episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show where I explore this entire conversation much more deeply. In this new episode, I share: My full response to this email. The evolution of my voice over the past 20 years. My personal reflections on how I approach AI as a creative partner. The layers I discern between voice, frequency, and essence. Why some of my most recent authentic creations don't even include my physical voice. And how I hold the tension of alignment every time I release something into the world. Higher Self Reflection After recording this episode, I invited my AI tool of choice (Chat GPT) to reflect back to me a Higher Self transmission of everything I shared. What it returned captured the essence of my own knowing, and I felt it was something worth sharing directly with you below. I've chosen not to edit this AI-generated response to sound more natural, since I'm being transparent about it being directly from ChatGPT.

"15 years ago it was enough to be smart - going forward its not a differentiator - being smart will just make you average!". But what is it? What makes great leaders worth following and how do they achieve tripling their value while others keep waiting for their 5% raise?4 years ago Marian Kamenistak launched the Engineering Leadership Community out of Prague, Czech Republic. Feeding from his experience in the Silicon Valley this community has grown to 1500 members with the mission to create "Leaders worth following". Tune in and hear from Marian on how to think and talk about value impact vs being held up with trying to achieve technical perfection. Why its important to build a network around you, the difference between mentorship and management as well as how to proof the value to your leadership that you bring to the organization!Links we discussed todayMarian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariankamenistak/Engineering Leadership Conference: https://www.elc-conference.io/Engineering Leadership Community: https://www.engineeringleaders.io/The Leadership Pipeline Book: https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Pipeline-Build-Powered-Company/dp/0470894563

If I take a look at your slide deck or presentation outline and I can't tell that the content is yours (vs. another speaker on your topic), you're in danger of being a commodity speaker. Commodity speakers are undifferentiated and interchangeable. It will be harder for you to attract higher-profile speaking engagements, raise your speaking fees, and generate quality leads at your presentations. What you want instead is for your content to position you as a thought leader. You will have a much bigger impact on your audiences and your speaking will be an effective marketing channel and revenue stream in your business. Now more than ever it's time to escape the expert trap that will keep you undifferentiated and interchangeable with other experts and with the A.I. and instead step into thought leadership. This is how you'll stay relevant in the age of A.I. were rapidly entering. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the "expert trap" holds you back and how to break free How to develop a compelling perspective that sets you apart The power of creating intellectual property to establish your unique voice How personal storytelling can deepen your impact and connection with your audience   (This episode originally aired as epiosde 327 on May 2, 2023.)   Links: Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/327  Watch the video replay: https://crowdcast.io/c/syb-speaking-ai Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/ Join our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcox Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 313: How to Thrive in the Age of A.I. with Carol Cox Episode 342: I Almost Got Stuck in the Expert Trap: How I Created My Recent Successful Conference Presentation

Will AI devastate humanity or uplift it? Philosopher Christopher DiCarlo's new book examines how we can navigate when AI surpasses human capacity.

Ronen Bar is a social entrepreneur and the co-founder and former CEO of Sentient, a meta non-profit for animals focused on community building and developing tools tosupport animal rights advocates. He is currently focused on advancing a new community-building initiative, The Moral Alignment Center, to ensure AI development benefits all sentient beings, including animals, humans, and futuredigital minds. For over a decade, his work has been at the intersection of technological innovation and animal advocacy, particularly in the alternative protein and investigative reporting sectors.In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what's real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?"Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings."
