POPULARITY
AI demos are easy. Building AI that actually works inside a business is much harder.Andrew Brooks, founder and CEO of Contextual.io joins Ian Bergman to unpack the AI hype tax, the hidden cost of confusing ChatGPT, Copilot, and impressive prototypes with real business transformation.They explore what makes an AI system truly production ready, why even 99% accuracy can create serious problems at scale, and where human judgment, guardrails, governance, and accountability still matter.You'll also learn how to decide when to build AI capabilities versus rent existing tools, why differentiated data and workflows should guide that decision, and how AI can amplify expertise instead of simply replacing people.For founders, operators, and innovation leaders trying to turn AI experimentation into measurable business value, this conversation offers a practical framework for separating hype from what actually works.Key Topics⏱️ 04:14 What is the AI hype tax?
Andrew shares his entrepreneurial journey, starting with working at a company that was later acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2005. He then launched a small business marketing firm which was sold to Reach Local, and later worked on SmartThings, which was acquired by Samsung in 2014. Currently, Andrew is the CEO of Contextual.io, a managed AI solutions provider that was recently sold to a private equity firm. Andrew and John discussed the differences between being owned by private equity firms versus large international or US companies, using Samsung's acquisition of a smart home platform as an example. Andrew explained that Samsung was interested in the platform not just for its current business but for its potential to connect Samsung's distributed devices. They explore how private equity firms prioritize returns for shareholders over cultural or human elements, which can lead to significant changes in the acquired business, including growth through organic or acquisitive means. John shares a story about a friend who sold his family business to private equity, who later regretted the decision due to how the people were treated during tough times. Andrew agreed and emphasized the importance of founders doing their own due diligence on the PE firm, including speaking with other sellers and understanding long-term expectations, as the financial excitement may fade over time. Both discussed the need for proper buyer due diligence, with Andrew expressing satisfaction with his current PE sponsor, Southfield Capital. Andrew shared his experience building businesses with a core team of co-founders, emphasizing the importance of trust and clear role definitions. He noted that while only a handful of employees have become entrepreneurs themselves, many team members remain willing to join new ventures due to their trust in the leadership team. He acknowledged that the quick success of early companies like SmartThings sometimes gave employees a misleading impression of entrepreneurship being easy.

‘Abolition Futures' is a standalone podcast episode made by Andrew Brooks, Liam Grealy, and Astrid Lorange, co-facilitators of the Infrastructural Inequalities research network. Infrastructural Inequalities examines the unjust distribution of resources, amenities, and opportunities that shape our society and asks how we might intervene in the reproduction of inequality. Together, we produce exhibitions, public programs, workshops, and edit the Infrastructural Inequalities journal. In 2021, the journal published a special issue called ‘Policing, Crisis, Abolition', which sought to investigate how crisis, policing, and infrastructure are bound to one another: the essays and interviews collectively ask how an abolitionist approach to infrastructure might move us toward a world where the needs of all are met. Following the publication of the special issue, Infrastructural Inequalities presented a live, online public program – Resistant Media and Abolitionist Futures – co-hosted by the Media Futures Hub at UNSW in May 2021. This podcast draws from the program's discussions, and features Tabitha Lean, Renee “Rocket” Bretherton, Debbie Kilroy, Dr Amanda Porter, and Alison Whittaker. It was edited and mixed by Andrew Brooks. Original music by Motion and Té. Writing and other resources on abolition, including by our guests, are available at Infrastructural Inequalities: https://infrastructuralinequalities.net.

Join Amber this week as she talks about VBS with special guest Andrew Brooks from Southern Hills, The Church At City Station!
In this episode of The Connected Care Team podcast, Andrew Brooks, M.D., co-founder and CMO of TigerConnect, discusses healthcare transformation's current state and future. Dr. Brooks reflects on the challenges of old communication workflows, the transformation likely to happen in a few years, and the benefits of implementing a clinical collaboration platform.A solution for healthcare workflow challengesAndrew Brooks, M.D. and his brother Brad Brooks co-founded TigerConnect twelve years ago to improve the ease of communication in healthcare. At the time, healthcare communication was challenging because healthcare professionals used pagers and faxes as primary communication methods. Their goal was to create a secure HIPAA-compliant platform to enable the same ease of communication within healthcare that people enjoyed in their personal lives.“We were relying on faxes, pagers all while being able to do very sophisticated things technically. It was that frustration around the way things were being communicated. And we had smartphones that we were all texting in our normal lives, but it just didn't really exist in healthcare.”Andrew Brooks, M.D.Reducing clinician burnoutDigital tools have improved how healthcare professionals communicate and collaborate on patient care. However, tools such as EMRs have turned many nurses and doctors into data entry clerks, limiting how much time they can dedicate to patient care and leading to clinician burnout. It's common today for a physician to spend two hours in the EMR for every hour spent with a patient. With clinical collaboration platforms like TigerConnect that operate outside of EMRs, healthcare professionals can spend less time on data entry and more time on patient care.“I'm not going to write a lot of things in the EMR that I would say to you as a clinician. But over TigerConnect, because we're not necessarily part of the EMR unless something is chosen to be put in the EMR on a permanent basis, it much more mimics the more natural clinical workflow that we have as doctors and nurses with one another.”Andrew Brooks, M.D.

This episode of The MoMA Magazine Podcast's Broken Nature series explores the global secondhand clothing landscape: who participates in it, who benefits from it, who suffers because of it, and whether it is in fact a sustainable alternative to the excessive consumption encouraged by the fashion industry. Host Paola Antonelli is joined by Andrew Brooks, the author of Clothing Poverty: The Hidden World of Fast Fashion and Second-Hand Clothes, Katekani Moreku, a South African fashion designer who uses discarded clothing to create new garments, and Julie Wainwright, founder and CEO of The RealReal, a business focused on luxury consignment.
Ascot has been one of Lloyd's great success stories of the past 2 decades yet its CEO Andrew Brooks doesn't have the sort of public profile that one would expect to go with the job. After many years waiting out the soft market Ascot is now in aggressive expansion mode backed by a very patient, very deep pool of capital. Given its cautious and prudent track record its diversification plans make for fascinating listening, particularly the thinking behind this historically short-tailed business's controlled entry into the casualty world. In our talk Andrew is engaging and very open and forthcoming about Ascot's way of doing things.
