Now on Spotify Video! After decades leading AI research at NASA, Google, and Stanford, Peter Norvig has watched artificial intelligence advance at an incredible pace, often without enough consideration for the people it's meant to serve. While the systems grew better at optimizing algorithms, far less focus was placed on fairness, human agency, and real-world impact. That realization led Peter to champion a more human-centered approach to AI. In this final episode of the AI Vault series, Peter breaks down how to design and use AI in ways that elevate human abilities, support better decision-making, and promote fairness across business, education, and leadership. In this episode, Hala and Peter will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:28) His Transition From Academia to Corporate (06:05) The Evolution of Google Search Technology (12:59) How Artificial Intelligence Has Changed Over Time (17:53) Human Intelligence vs. AI Capabilities (23:38) What Is Human-Centered AI? (29:42) AI-Powered Learning and Workplace Training (35:47) AI for Entrepreneurs: The New Advantage (39:10) Artificial Intelligence and Income Inequality (41:19) The Risks and Rewards of Artificial Intelligence Peter Norvig is a computer scientist, AI pioneer, and former Director of Research at Google, where he led significant advancements in search and machine learning. He is the co-author of Artificial Intelligence, the leading AI textbook used in more than 1,500 universities worldwide. Today, as a Fellow at Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute, Peter focuses on building AI systems that are fair, inclusive, and aligned with human values.

Planning comes easy to entrepreneurs. Especially when things feel uncertain, heavy, or unfinished. The notes app fills up. The goals start forming. The urge to do something different kicks in fast. Pausing rarely feels as natural. In this episode of the Black to Business podcast, we slow the conversation down on purpose. This is not about setting better goals or building a more ambitious plan. This is about understanding where you are before deciding where you are going. Because planning without reflection often leads to repetition. New goals. Same pressure. Same habits. Same exhaustion. This episode is an invitation to pause long enough to see clearly. Not to quit. Not to check out. But to gather the information your business is already giving you. If you have ever felt like you keep restarting, carrying fatigue into new plans, or setting goals that feel heavy before you even begin, this conversation is for you. DURING THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: Why planning feels safer than pausing and what that habit costs you over time How skipping reflection turns intention into pressure What a real pause actually looks like without disappearing or falling behind The three things every pause should help you identify How awareness creates stronger plans than motivation ever will Why pausing helps you stop starting over and start building forward Thank you so much for listening!

The brands that will thrive in the next era of commerce understand that context drives everything, from platform choice to storytelling and trust formation. As a result, success hinges on a brand's ability to serve customers across multiple contexts rather than controlling single experiences.For the season finale, Commerce CEO Travis Hess joins Phillip and Lindsay to explore what it means when "the customer is the channel." The conversation tackles designing for AI agents alongside humans, reaching customers across surfaces independent of purchase location, and balancing data-driven marketing with authentic storytelling. Travis shares why brands must embrace agentic commerce now, and the mindset shifts required for 2026, synthesizing the season's insights into actionable guidance.The Customer is the ChannelKEY TAKEAWAYSOmnimodal commerce shifts focus from channels to surfaces where customers engage across contexts.Design for agents, not just humans.

Phillip and Brian forecast the year ahead, from Walmart becoming America's healthcare provider to prediction markets reshaping news, autonomous vehicles hitting critical mass, and the consumerization of everything. 2026 brings economic correction, political realignment, and consumers seizing control from institutions.Our Vision:Walmart will emerge as America's front-line health system through accessibility and affordabilityPredicted losers in 2026: Target, Family Dollar, and middle-class brick-and-mortar retailersSelf-sovereign health brands will win as consumers self-diagnose and optimizePrediction markets will replace traditional polls as the new pulse of public sentimentAutonomous vehicles will reach an inflection point with infrastructure support comingOpenAI will lose enterprise ground to Anthropic and Gemini as trust erodesEconomic correction will trigger a political anti-AI platform for midtermsCraft and analog work will become a cultural rebellion against synthetic content saturationKey Quotes:"2026 is the year that consumers and companies are shifting from relying on institutions to relying on themselves." – Phillip [00:06:21]"John Furner was the head of Sam's Club. You know who Sam's Club had to compete with? Costco. This is the guy who had to build a business that was up against the best business in the world and was successful at it." – Brian [00:12:26]"Walmart is that front door for most Americans because you can diagnose your own health issues...It's going to be the point of most convenience for you. It's also gonna be the place that's most affordable." – Phillip [00:16:22]"The consumerization of health care is the trend of the year." – Brian [00:16:52]"Brands dependent on borrowed authority—any brand whose legitimacy depends on that credentialed expert or an editor or celebrity or institutional validation rather than measurable outcomes will suffer." – Phillip [00:37:38]"We have become the United Pottersvilles of America.

A Letter From Me to YouAs we close out 2025, I wanted to take a moment to speak directly to you - doctor to doctor, human to human.This episode is a little different. It's a twist on 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, written as a reflection of our shared journey as physicians. It honors not only the work we do in exam rooms and inboxes, but also the quiet, unseen work that happens in kitchens, cars, call rooms, and living rooms - the places where our families, our partners, and our loved ones carry this life with us.My hope is that you'll hear pieces of your own story in this reading: the exhaustion that shows up at the end of a too-long day, the hope that never fully disappears, and the quiet, stubborn resilience that keeps you moving forward. Whether you practice Direct Primary Care or another model, the heart of what we do is human-centered medicine, and that heart beats strongest when we remember that compassion includes ourselves.This episode is my way of acknowledging the realities we juggle, the trust we're fighting to reclaim between doctor and patient, and the community that continues to grow around this movement. It's an invitation to take a breath, to feel seen, and to know you are not doing this alone.As you listen, I hope you feel warmth. I hope you feel connection and I hope you step into the new year with a little more light.With gratitude,Maryal Concepcion, MD Family Physician & MomKeywords: Direct Primary Care, physician wellness, holiday podcast, medical compassion, family, physician support, Christmas storySupport the showBe A My DPC Story PATREON MEMBER!

Heute geht es um den sechsten Weg zur Effektivität nach Stephen R. Covey: „Synergien schaffen.“ Das Wort „Synergie“ klingt zunächst nach Management oder Technik – in Wahrheit beschreibt es aber ein ganz alltägliches, menschliches Prinzip: Das Ganze ist mehr als die Summe seiner Teile. Wenn wir mit anderen Menschen zusammenarbeiten, können Ergebnisse entstehen, die keiner allein erreichen könnte. Und genau das macht den sechsten Weg so kraftvoll – beim Sprachenlernen genauso wie beim Erreichen persönlicher Ziele. In der heutigen Podcastfolge erfährst du wie.

Jack McGinn speaks to Nadia Budihardjo about the challenges industrial operators face at the outer fringes of WA's main electric network. Plus: Contract for electric ferries awarded; AEMO projects gas supply to deplete; and RM Capital fined.

Viele Menschen spielen mit dem Gedanken ein eigenes Business aufzubauen um 2026 mehr Geld zu verdienen, nebenbei oder Vollzeit. Doch viele stellen sich hier genau diese Frage: "Welches Geschäftsmodell ist das beste für Anfänger", auch wenn man noch keine Erfahrung hat, keine Ausbildung oder Studium hat und wenn man kein Startkapital zur verfügung hat. Genau diese Frage beantwortet Unternehmer Max Weiß in dieser Episode des Next Level Business Podcasts und erklärt dir welche 5 Businessmodelle gerade 2026 die besten sind und wie du diese direkt umsetzten kannst um damit sofort Geld zu verdienen.

There is a quiet frustration a lot of entrepreneurs are carrying right now. The work is happening. Effort is being put in. Progress is not obvious yet. So the instinct becomes to scrap everything and start again. New idea. New offer. New strategy. New direction. In this solo episode of the Black to Business podcast, we are slowing that impulse down and telling the truth about what is really happening when you feel the need to start over. After speaking with more than 200 Black entrepreneurs on this podcast, one pattern shows up again and again. The founders who eventually find their footing are not constantly resetting. They stay long enough to learn. They adjust with intention instead of reacting out of pressure. This conversation is about resourcefulness, self-trust, and building forward instead of burning everything down when things feel uncomfortable. Inside this episode, we talk honestly about why starting over feels productive, how outside noise and urgency can cloud decision-making, and how to tell the difference between a thoughtful pivot and panicking too soon. This is not about forcing something that is clearly not working. This is about recognizing when you already have more than enough to move forward and learning how to work with it. DURING THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: Why starting over often feels like progress even when it keeps you stuck The real difference between pivoting with intention and reacting out of pressure How constant resets prevent you from gathering the information you actually need What it looks like to leverage your existing work, relationships, and systems Why trusting yourself is a business skill, not just a mindset How to strengthen what you already have instead of abandoning it too soon If you have been feeling the urge to scrap everything because things are moving slower than expected, this episode will help you pause, reassess, and move forward with more confidence. You do not need to start over to grow. Sometimes you need to stay.   Thank you so much for listening!

Heute geht es um den fünften Weg zur Effektivität nach Stephen R.

Wir wollen erklären, überzeugen, argumentieren – bevor wir wirklich verstanden haben, was der andere denkt oder braucht. .

Today I'm jumping on the mic at the end of a challenging day to share some unfiltered reflections on what it really looks like behind the scenes of entrepreneurship. In this interesting season and in the spirit of keeping it real, I knew it was important to show up, even when things feel tough. This isn't just about business strategy or high-energy wins, but about navigating the emotional labour, inner dialogue, and growth that comes with building something meaningful. If you've ever asked “Is it always going to feel this hard?” I'm right there with you. Tune in to hear more about: • What it feels like to carry the weight of a brick and mortar business in a tough season • Burnout, frustration,  imposter syndrome and emotional challenges we don't always talk about • Why slowing down doesn't mean you're falling behind • A powerful reframe to remind yourself on a hard dayEntrepreneurship is messy, beautiful, exhausting, and full of moments that stretch us, but we don't have to do it alone AND we don't have to pretend it's always easy. If this episode resonated, I'd love to hear what season you're walking through. My DMs are always open @AlliArruda. Let's reframe & reflect together.Want to Make More Money in 2026?

In their ninth year of annual predictions, Philip and Brian revisit bold calls made in late 2024 that proved remarkably prescient. From mega-brand consolidation and Costco's international dominance to Google's stunning comeback and the rise of Anthropic, they dissect what they got right (most of it), what they got wrong (GameStop stands stubborn), and why being months ahead of conversations about tariffs, de minimis rules, and AI supremacy matters. It is no surprise that culture drove commerce's biggest shifts.Costco Reigns Supreme, Again2025 Outcomes & Highlights:Mega-brand M&A dominated 2025 as regulatory shifts enabled massive retail restructuring (+10 pts to Phillip!)Costco expanded internationally while battling Trump administration on tariffs and DEI (+10 pts to Brian!)China-direct retail faced existential crisis as de minimis loophole closed (+10 pts to Brian!)Creator-led brand exits to holdcos marked parasocial commerce era (+10 pts to Phillip!)Gamestop survived (-10 pts to Phillip!)Google executed the comeback of the decade with Gemini's ascent (+10 pts to Brian!)Associated Links:LORE - Future Commerce's 280-page book on brand worldbuildingCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Success does not eliminate pressure. It often multiplies it.Once you experience a win, the fear shifts from “what if I fail?” to “what if I can't do it again?” In this episode, I unpack why success can feel heavier than failure, how emotional attachment to outcomes distorts clarity, and why many people end up running in place even while working hard.We explore how open loops, unfinished commitments, and mental clutter quietly drain focus, energy, and momentum. I share why learning to detach emotionally from outcomes is not about becoming numb or disconnected, but about creating enough objectivity to take better action. When everything feels personal, every fluctuation feels like failure.You'll learn how to:Detach your identity from results so one miss doesn't spiral into self-doubtClose open loops that create constant mental taxationCut through noise, distractions, and unnecessary commitmentsSay no with intention so yes actually means somethingMeasure progress beyond a single KPI or narrow definition of successBuild systems, structure, and infrastructure that support sustainable growthWe also talk about why sustainability must come before scalability, how discipline fills the gap when motivation fades, and why progress often comes from doing less, more intentionally, instead of chasing everything at once.This episode is a reminder that clarity creates momentum, simplicity creates leverage, and consistent execution is what turns intention into real results.Close the loops.

Nima Jalali built SALT & STONE out of his apartment into a $100M+ brand, without ever pitching a single retailer. After an ACL injury redirected his path, he created something he desperately wanted but didn't exist, a high quality, clean deodorant, that actually performs. SALT & STONE has now become one of the fastest growing brands in the space to-date by doing things differently. Even right now, every 60 seconds a SALT & STONE deodorant is bought.  In this candid conversation Nima opens up about transitioning from a pro surfboarder into the Founder role, what it takes to build a killer team, and what keeps him going.

Are high ticket offers really dead? That's the question that's been buzzing in my inbox lately, and I know so many of us are feeling unsure about where to focus our time and energy as we head into 2026. With another rollercoaster year behind us, shaky economies, and a big shift in trust online, you might be wondering: “Should I pivot to something low ticket, or is there a place for premium offers in the new era of online business?” This episode is all about pulling back the curtain on what's really happening around high ticket and low ticket strategies – especially for women running businesses like ours. I'll share what I'm seeing, why the old ways aren't working as well, and how you can confidently position yourself for success (and sanity!) in the year ahead. Here's what I cover in this episode: Why are people more skeptical than ever about online offers, and what does that mean for those of us with serious expertise? What's actually the difference between high ticket and low ticket offers - and is switching really as simple as dropping your price or launching a membership? How can you tell if your offer and your personal branding are truly aligned, or if there's a hidden disconnect costing you sales? What are the real mistakes I see business owners making right now when it comes to pricing, messaging, and packaging their services? How can you stand out as a premium provider so clients can quickly see your value - even if the economy feels unstable or buyers are cautious? If you've felt stuck, second-guessing your plans, or just want a clear, honest look at what it takes to grow a sustainable, rewarding business in 2026, you'll want to tune in. I promise this one is packed with real talk and practical steps to help you move forward. Give it a listen, and let's get clear on your next best move!

As retail sheds its four walls, technology must follow. Jason James (CIO, Aptos) and Nikki Baird (VP of Strategy & Product, Aptos) join us to explore how brands like New Balance deploy 90+ registers at the NYC Marathon—then dismantle them just as quickly. The conversation reveals how point-of-sale systems built on next-generation databases enable everything from parking lot pop-ups to van-based fitting experiences, all while maintaining enterprise-grade security in environments where network connectivity is more hope than guarantee.Set Your Associates FreeKey takeaways:New Balance transforms NYC Marathon into 100-store chain for one weekendOffline capability: transactions continue when networks fail, sync when connectivity returnsIn-person acquisition yields stickier customers with higher lifetime valueRetail ranks third most-attacked sector; mobile commerce increases threat surfaceStore associates need intuitive systems for high-pressure, temporary deployments"If they're able to pull this off in the middle of a parking lot, I'm probably a hell of a lot more likely to go in the store next time." – Jason James on how ephemeral retail builds store trust"A customer acquired through an in-person, in real life experience is stickier, has longer lifetime value, is ultimately more loyal than a customer that's acquired online." – Nikki Baird on the power of physical engagement"God forbid a retailer gets hit back at headquarters with ransomware and it takes down their core network. We can still transact." – Jason James on offline resilience"It's not just you put products on racks or on shelves and you wait for people to walk in the door. Events are coming into stores too." – Nikki Baird on stores as experience hubsAssociated Links:Learn about AptosCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Mani Fazeli, VP of Product at Shopify, joins the show to explore how agentic commerce is fundamentally transforming retail. From Sidekick's co-founder capabilities to Sim Gym's buyer simulations, Shopify is democratizing enterprise-level AI tools for merchants of all sizes. The conversation reveals why friction isn't always the enemy, how discovery is evolving beyond blue links, and why structured data is the new SEO.The Irreducible Human Meets Humanlike IntelligenceKey takeaways:Discovery has evolved from a one-shot search to multi-turn conversationsFriction has value: Some purchases deserve complexity, others need speedStructured data becomes critical for agentic commerce success[00:32:56] "Let's make special what's actually worth being special. And then let's be okay with the fact that the rest of it gets streamlined."[00:49:57] "Structured data becomes the new SEO. Every brand is going to have to worry about whether they have clean, well-structured, and well-understandable schemas."[00:04:20] "Utility above being flashy. Go right for the heart of what makes a difference in the merchant's life every single day."[00:33:39] "Until these systems become emotion aware, it's highly unlikely that they are completely eradicating the entire idea of manual human intervention in commerce."In-Show Mentions:Shopify Winter '26 EditionsAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?
