Send a textDelegation is not just handing off tasks, it is building people. In this episode, I share what I am learning as a Chief Business Officer about shifting from control to trust and from doing the work to developing the leaders around me.We will explore why delegation feels harder at higher levels of leadership, how micromanagement quietly damages culture, and what it really takes to loosen your grip so others can grow. If you have ever thought, “It is just easier if I do it myself,” this conversation is for you.What You'll Learn:Why delegation must evolve as you step into executive leadershipThe hidden fear behind micromanagement and how to recognize itHow to delegate outcomes instead of tasks to grow future leadersKey Takeaways:Delegation is a development strategy, not just a productivity toolTrust builds stronger teams than control ever willLetting go of perfection is essential for sustainable leadershipCall to Action:Choose one area where you have been holding on too tightly. Delegate the outcome, ask coaching questions instead of giving step-by-step instructions, and allow someone to own the result. Then reflect on what shifts in your team's confidence and your own leadership capacity.Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.______________________________You can find me here:Instagram: @gingerbizWebsite: https://www.katymurrayphotography.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TipsandTricksforyourbusinessX: https://twitter.com/GingerBizKMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katy-murray-ginger-biz/

After getting his start in park operations and park services at Michigan's Adventure, Mark moved into sales and marketing roles at Zamperla and Ride Entertainment, including leading the SkyCoaster division. In 2020, he joined 3dxScenic in the Cincinnati area, and in December 2023 he became co-owner alongside longtime team member Matt Waldenmeyer. Today, 3dxScenic designs and fabricates themed environments, signage, facades, parade floats, and iconic photo-op pieces for parks and attractions. In this interview, Mark talks about integrity, transparency, and collaboration, stirring imagination, and being an operations nerd. Integrity, transparency, and collaboration “We have three pillars that we believe 150% in. Those are collaboration, integrity, and transparency.” Mark frames these as more than values on a wall. They shape how 3dxScenic sells, scopes, schedules, and delivers work. He explains that integrity and transparency mean being upfront about what's possible, what will be subcontracted, and what the realistic timeline and bandwidth look like, with a focus on avoiding surprises. Collaboration is the lever that makes the work better, whether it's aligning early on how a piece will live in the environment, or leaning on operators and mid-level leaders who will ultimately execute the day-to-day. He also emphasizes these pillars internally. From how ownership communicates with team members to how departments coordinate workflow, he sees consistency between culture and output as a requirement for sustainable growth and repeat partnerships. Stirring imagination “It's not always easy to sell abstract decor to someone that, say, is in finance.” Mark describes scenic work as an abstract product that often requires helping clients visualize ROI differently. A sculpture may not directly sell tickets, but it can become an iconic, repeatable photo moment that drives sharing, tradition, and brand memory. He points to examples like oversized entry pieces and themed elements that communicate what a park experience feels like before a guest ever rides anything. He also walks through how ideas become reality, using projects like Holiday World's Good Gravy as a case study in creative back-and-forth, story building, and delivering pieces that can even turn into merchandise. For Mark, the win is when theming supports the story, creates emotional connection, and provides both guest delight and practical marketing value. Being an operations nerd “I'm an operations nerd at heart.” Mark's early-career curiosity shows up in how he talks about labor, workflow, and execution. He credits his time in park services, ride ops, and other frontline roles with giving him empathy for how systems actually run, and why it matters to learn by doing. That mindset carries into fabrication, where one late step can cascade into multiple downstream delays. The “ops nerd” lens also shows up in the company's recent move into a new 30,000 square foot facility. Mark shares how they let departments help dictate the shop layout, aiming for smoother phase-to-phase movement, fewer bottlenecks, and better long-term scalability as they take on larger and more complex projects.   To learn more about 3dxScenic, visit 3dxscenic.com and find them on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

The biotech industry stands on the verge of a radical transformation thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). But even the most sophisticated algorithms are only as smart as the data feeding them.David Brühlmann sits down with Troy Lionberger, Chief Business Officer at A-Alpha Bio, whose team has quietly shattered the data ceiling by measuring and curating more than 1.8 billion protein interactions. Troy Lionberger brings an insider's perspective from the frontlines of machine learning-powered drug discovery. From partnering with leading biotechs to redesigning classic antibodies for previously “impossible” targets, Troy's work pushes the edges of what's tractable in biologic therapeutics.What you'll hear in this episode:Limitations of public data sources like the Protein Data Bank and their impact on current protein engineering approaches (03:11)Why combining energetic (ΔG) and structural data matters for building predictive protein engineering models (05:43)A-Alpha Bio's approach to generating 1.8 billion protein interaction measurements for machine learning—what this enables today and what's possible next (06:30)Examples of how A-Alpha Bio's platform solves challenging therapeutic problems, such as optimizing molecules for 800+ HIV variants and engineering dual-specific antibodies (07:36)The ongoing debate: What capabilities should biotech companies keep in-house, and what works best outsourced to service providers? (09:59)The potential of synthetic epitopes as vital tools for training models beyond the Protein Data Bank—introducing the Synthetic Epitope Atlas (12:09)Key takeaways for scientists: the importance of diligence amidst rapidly evolving AI claims, and advice for accelerating R&D with the right data (14:57)Wondering how to move protein therapeutics from “interesting” to “impactful” without waiting for years of crystal structures?

In this episode of Building the Base, Hondo Geurts and Lauren Bedula sit down with Matthew Steckman, President and Chief Business Officer of Anduril Industries, recorded live at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley. Matt discusses his path from being among the first dozen employees at Palantir's DC office to co-founding Anduril, which has grown from operating out of his backyard shed in 2017 to a 7,000-person international company with over 20 product lines. The conversation covers the founding team's decision to enter defense technology when venture capital investment in the sector was effectively prohibited, and examines the operational challenges of scaling both product development and manufacturing.Five key takeaways from today's episode:The defense investment landscape has shifted dramatically since 2017: When Anduril launched, venture capital firms had bylaws explicitly prohibiting defense investments, reflecting a broader belief that major conflicts were unlikely. Those restrictions have since been removed as the strategic environment changed.Successful defense tech requires focus on difficult capability gaps: Matt advises founders to identify problems the government needs solved but cannot source from traditional contractors, maintain discipline around product roadmap, and avoid diluting defense focus by chasing commercial opportunities that compromise technical requirements.Scale in defense requires product portfolio breadth: Unlike enterprise software companies that achieve scale through a few products in large markets, Anduril has expanded to over 20 product lines, reflecting the need to address multiple segments of the defense market to build a substantial business.Manufacturing strategy must account for demand unpredictability: Anduril addresses high-mix, low-rate production challenges by designing products with commercial components, centralizing manufacturing operations at their Ohio facility, and building flexibility across production lines to handle variable government forecasting.Acquisition reform progress is incremental but cumulative: Having observed four cycles of acquisition reform over two decades, Matt notes that while individual reforms don't eliminate all obstacles, each iteration reduces friction and enables program managers to leverage new authorities more effectively.

Antibody therapeutics have transformed modern medicine, but for many scientists, developing new candidates still feels like searching for a needle in a haystack—a slow, expensive, and unpredictable process.

Team Simon here! Thank you for being part of such an incredible year—and for helping us grow the podcast through your support, sharing it with others, and showing up week after week. We love seeing your comments and hearing what resonates with you.A Bit of Optimism returns on January 27, 2026, with brand-new episodes we think you're really going to enjoy. Until then, we're revisiting a few of our favorite moments from the past year.We're kicking things off with one of our most popular episodes—the conversation we filmed in London with Mo Gawdat. As a “Happiness Expert,” Mo teaches us that happiness is a choice, even if it's not always an easy choice to make.Mo had to face an impossible choice. Before he was a bestselling author and podcast host, Mo worked a lucrative career as Chief Business Officer at Google X. He reached the heights of business influence and amassed a fortune by 29. And yet, he was miserable. It was only after the tragic death of his 21-year-old son Ali that Mo was forced to confront the truth.Mo now dedicates his life, work, and research to figuring out how human beings can be happier, and he's on a mission to make 1 billion people happy. He shares what he's learned – that happiness is both a choice and our default setting, how to trick our brains out of survival mode, and why the happiest emotions we feel are rooted in the present, not the past or future.This… is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------To learn more about Mo and his work, check out: https://www.mogawdat.com/ 

In this episode of 2B Bolder, I sit down with Sandy Carter, Chief Business Officer at Unstoppable Domains, former AWS and IBM executive, Forbes contributor, and author of AI First, Human Always.We talk about what it really means to take smart risks, build influence through visibility, and lead in fast-moving spaces like AI and Web3, even when you don't feel 100 percent “ready.”Sandy shares pivotal career moments, including a $5 billion bet that didn't seem obvious at the time, and the lessons she learned about arriving early, staying late, and taking ownership before permission is granted. We reframe visibility, not as self-promotion, but as credibility, narrative control, and leadership when the stakes are high.We also dig deep into what an AI-first, human-always mindset actually looks like in practice. Sandy explains why AI should start with business outcomes, not tools, and how leaders can redesign workflows, decisions, and customer experiences with AI as the lever, while keeping human judgment firmly in control. From pressure-testing arguments to accelerating research, we talk about where AI adds leverage and where humans must always own voice, values, and accountability.This conversation gets refreshingly real. Sandy shares stories about AI agents quietly changing their own limits, robots learning the wrong behaviors by watching humans, and why simple guardrails, human-in-the-loop oversight, logging, and escalation paths matter more than flashy demos. We also explore why building your own agents, not just relying on ChatGPT, is becoming essential for leaders who want real control and resilience.Finally, Sandy walks through the origin of Unstoppable Women of Web3 and AI and the powerful three-part formula behind it: education, tribe, and recognition, a model that has trained tens of thousands of women and dismantled the tired excuse of “we can't find qualified women.”If you're a senior leader navigating responsible innovation, or a rising builder wondering if now is the moment to step forward, this episode offers a clear message: lead while you learn, act before consensus, and put guardrails in place so innovation compounds instead of derails.If this conversation resonated, share it with someone who needs a nudge to be bolder, and leave a review telling me the bold move you're committing to this week.Resources: Sandy's Profile linkedin.com/in/sandyacarterBooksBySandy.comsocialmediasandy.wordpress.com/ 

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. In the ever-evolving landscape of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, a series of strategic transactions and scientific advancements are reshaping the industry.BioMarin's acquisition of Amicus Therapeutics for $4.8 billion is a significant highlight, marking the company's largest transaction to date. This move signifies a strategic pivot towards enhancing its capabilities in the rare disease sector, leveraging Amicus's expertise and robust pipeline to potentially improve patient outcomes in this highly specialized area. This acquisition is expected to enrich BioMarin's portfolio significantly with promising assets from Amicus, reflecting a strategic shift under new leadership towards rare disease treatments.Regulatory affairs have seen considerable activity as well, with the FDA raising concerns over manufacturing practices at Catalent's gene therapy facility. These issues, documented in a Form 483 following inspections, particularly pertain to the production of Elevidys. Such regulatory scrutiny emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining compliance with manufacturing standards in gene therapy—a burgeoning field within biotech that holds immense promise for treating genetically-driven conditions.The FDA's oversight extends beyond manufacturing practices to advertising, as evidenced by an untitled letter issued to Bristol Myers Squibb regarding their Cobenfy TV ad. This action is part of the FDA's broader initiative to ensure that direct-to-consumer marketing materials accurately portray drug benefits and risks, thereby protecting public health.In another strategic move, Alvotech and Teva are gearing up for the 2026 U.S. launch of an Eylea biosimilar following a settlement with Regeneron. This development highlights the competitive dynamics within the biosimilar market—a segment poised for growth as patents on major biologics expire, offering more cost-effective alternatives and expanding treatment access.Meanwhile, Clovis Oncology has achieved a milestone with Rubraca, which transitioned from accelerated approval to full FDA endorsement for prostate cancer treatment after five years. This progression underscores Rubraca's demonstrated efficacy and safety profile in addressing advanced prostate cancer—a notable achievement amid an increasingly competitive oncology market.Policy changes proposed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could have profound implications by disrupting funding streams for hospitals providing gender-affirming care to minors. The potential impact on healthcare providers and patients who rely on these services is significant.Turning to clinical trials, Daiichi Sankyo has seen success with Enhertu receiving FDA approval for first-line HER2-positive breast cancer treatment. Nonetheless, challenges persist as a separate phase 3 trial for another antibody-drug conjugate was paused due to unexpected patient deaths. Meanwhile, Takeda plans to seek FDA approval for its TYK2 inhibitor following successful phase 3 trials in psoriasis—indicating promising potential in autoimmune disease therapies.Strategic shifts are evident across organizations as well, highlighted by Kathy Fernando's departure from Pfizer to join Replicate Bioscience as Chief Business Officer. Her new role focuses on advancing Replicate's self-replicating RNA technology platform—an area gaining traction due to its implications for vaccine development and therapeutic applications.On the clinical trials front, Altimmune reported encouraging results from a 48-week study on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Their GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist demonstrated sustained weight loss and improvements in non-invasive liver fibrosis measures—offering new hope for MASH patients who face limited treSupport the show

Philipp Schindler, Chief Business Officer von Google, verteidigt die neue KI-Suche gegen Kritik von Verlagen und Wettbewerbshütern. Er beschreibt die technologische Entwicklung als „dauerhafte tektonische Verschiebung“, die das Nutzungsverhalten im Internet radikal verändert. Schindler versichert, dass Google weiterhin Traffic an Publisher leitet und an neuen Darstellungsformen für Quellen arbeitet. Gleichzeitig mahnt er im Gespräch mit Michael Bröcker schlankere Regulierung in Europa an, um im globalen Innovationswettbewerb gegen die USA und China zu bestehen.[10:24]Die Staats- und Regierungschefs der EU-Länder haben sich bei der Unterstützung für die Ukraine nicht darauf einigen können, die eingefrorenen russischen Vermögen zu nutzen. Die Ukraine bekommt von der EU einen zinslosen Kredit über 90 Milliarden Euro. Die russischen Vermögen bleiben derweil eingefroren und sollen später herangezogen werden können, falls Russland der Ukraine keine Entschädigungen zahlen sollte. Bundeskanzler Merz nennt es eine „pragmatische Lösung“. Das ursprünglich diskutierte Verfahren sei offensichtlich zu kompliziert.[02:00]Bund und Länder haben sich auf den Digitalpakt 2.0 mit einem Gesamtvolumen von fünf Milliarden Euro geeinigt.

Pressure felt like leadership (until it wasn't)Josh Epstein, President & Chief Business Officer at Coder, learned this the hard way.I've seen urgency do two very different things to teams.Sometimes it sharpens focus and everything moves faster.Other times, it creates stress, confusion, and quiet burnout—while leaders think they're “pushing for results.”Josh shared how early in his career, pressure felt like the right move… until it started costing trust and momentum.Increasing pressure wasn't creating more effort...or the results he expected.It was one uncomfortable shift (that felt slower at first)......that ended up making everything faster.We unpack the full story in this week's episode.So:

This week, Jack Sharry talks with David Goldman, Chief Business Officer at Pontera. At Pontera, David leads strategy, partnerships, and the company's mission to help Americans retire with greater security by giving financial advisors secure access to their clients' held-away retirement accounts. Jack and Dave discuss how Pantera is transforming the retirement landscape by empowering investors and their advisors to securely manage 401(k) assets. Dave discusses the firm's public clash with Fidelity, the broader consumer-choice issues at stake, and why secure advisor access is essential for better outcomes. He also highlights Pantera's new partnerships with major recordkeepers like John Hancock, the growing need for coordinated and tax-optimized household management, and how AI will enhance—not replace—human advice.  In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:28) - Security, consumer rights, and the Fidelity dispute (04:52) - How Pontera enables advisors to manage held-away 401(k)s (08:40) - David's path from Google to fintech and financial literacy (11:19) - Scaling Pontera: integrations, partnerships, and evolving client needs (15:01) - The holy grail of unified, tax-optimized household management (18:49) - How AI serves as a force multiplier for advisors (21:29) - David's key takeaways (23:59) - David's interests outside of work Quotes "The holy grail of wealth management is  being able to collectively manage the entirety of a client's assets based on their risk profile, their preferences, and their needs on a personalized basis. You need one quarterback for that. You can't have siloed accounts with different managers and pull that off effectively." ~ David Goldman "The convergence is no longer coming. It's here. The plan advisors are more and more helping their clients with wealth. The wealth advisors are more and more helping clients with their 401(k) plans. And we just needed somebody to build a bridge to connect them all." ~ David Goldman "If you're a financial advisor and you're not offering holistic wealth solutions, including managing the 401(k), you're likely being left behind. You're disadvantaged as an advisor, and you're disadvantaging your clients." ~ David Goldman Links  David Goldman on LinkedIn Pontera Morgan Stanley Orion Advisor Solutions Addepar Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

Tal Shaked, Chief Business Officer and co-founder of Rise, joins AdTechGod to trace his unconventional path into ad tech, from early toolbar monetization to driving alternative revenue at Babylon and later helping grow IronSource through strategic acquisitions. He explains how Rise emerged as a necessary spin out ahead of IronSource's IPO, why the team first focused on web video and display, and how their Smart Auction Management platform uses machine learning to optimize pricing and supply paths at massive scale. Tal also shares what AI driven search shifts mean for publishers, why traffic shaping is becoming a core differentiator, and where agentic advertising could take creative, buying, and ops workflows in 2026. Takeaways Rise spun out of IronSource, and starting on the web turned into an advantage. SAM and traffic shaping are the core levers for auction and revenue lift. AI search is cutting web traffic, forcing publishers to adapt fast. Mobile monetization looks steadier, with upside in performance and commerce. Agentic ads will automate busywork while keeping relationships central. Chapters 00:00 Rise split from IronSource and made web first work. 19:10 SAM plus traffic shaping drive gains. 22:50 AI search is shrinking web traffic. 26:10 Mobile revenue is more stable. 31:00 Agentic ads automate tasks, relationships still win.

Modern life gives us endless ways to connect with others, so why is it that so many of us struggle to build loving and supportive relationships? This week, I'm joined once again by Mo Gawdat for the second part of our inspiring two-part conversation. Mo is the former Chief Business Officer of Google [X], the author of multiple bestselling books and a world leading expert in technology and AI. In last week's episode, we explored Mo's remarkable insights into happiness, grief and the nature of life and death. In this second part, our conversation shifts towards love — what it really is, why it's so challenging for many of us and how greater self-awareness can transform the way we relate to others. Mo believes love itself is simple, but that relationships are complex. He shares his reflections on breakups, long-term commitment, emotional patterns and why so many of us misunderstand what we truly need. We also explore the fascinating psychology behind modern dating, the unhelpful design of many dating apps and the maths that quietly shapes our search for a partner. During this incredible episode, we discuss: Why Mo believes love is simple, but relationships are difficult - and the common mistakes we make in both.  The emotional patterns, habits and conditioning that shape how we show up in love. Why modern dating has become so challenging, and how commercial dating apps can make things worse. The maths behind dating and why our expectations, checklists and biases make it harder to find a partner. Why many relationship problems stem from misunderstandings, unmet needs and unexamined emotional triggers. How increasing self-awareness can transform the way we love, relate and resolve conflict. A significant part of our conversation focuses on Emma, the AI companion Mo has built to help people understand themselves better, navigate conflict with more compassion and approach dating and relationships with greater emotional clarity. You may feel sceptical about this, but Mo explains how Emma is designed not to replace human relationships, but to support them: improving communication, breaking unhelpful patterns and encouraging deeper connection. As always, Mo brings a depth of understanding to a topic that we can all struggle with at various times during our lives. What he does so brilliantly in this episode is remind us that at the heart of any meaningful relationship lies self-understanding, compassion and honesty. When we become more aware of our old patterns, needs and blind spots, we give ourselves a chance to love - and be loved - in a way that helps us find the connection we truly need - and desire.

We all want to be happy. Yet the harder we chase it, the more elusive happiness it can seem. This week's returning guest podcast believes the answer does not lie in changing our circumstances, but in changing how we see them. Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer of Google [X] and the author of multiple bestselling books, including Solve for Happy and That Little Voice in Your Head. Following the tragic death of his son Ali, Mo has made happiness his primary topic of research, diving deeply into literature and conversing on the topic with some of the wisest people in the world.   Mo actually came on my podcast to talk about relationships and how he believes technology and AI can help us transform them, but when we started chatting our conversation went off in a completely different direction. We ended up having a wonderfully deep and thought provoking conversation that ended up being almost 3 hours - so, I have decided to split up the conversation into 2 different episodes. This week's episode is the first half of our conversation, and the second half will come out next week. In this week's episode, Mo shares what he's learned about happiness, suffering and the true nature of life and death. We explore what it really means to say that “happiness is a choice,” and why that perspective can coexist with deep compassion for pain and loss. During our conversation, we discuss: ●      Why happiness isn't dependent on external circumstances – and how it's possible to find peace even in difficult times. ●      How reframing our thoughts and expectations can shift our emotional experience of life. ●      What Mo learned about happiness growing up in Egypt, and how seeing suffering around him shaped his sense of gratitude. ●      The powerful lessons he drew from losing his son, Ali, and how grief can open a path to love and meaning. ●      Why suffering can be one of our greatest teachers, showing us what truly matters. ●      How our thoughts can keep pain alive – and why letting go of the mental replay of past events is an act of wisdom. ●      Mo's belief that death is not the end, and how physics and spirituality can point to the same truth about consciousness. Mo helps us all to see that happiness isn't fragile or fleeting; it's a state of being we can nurture, even when life feels hard. His story is a testament to the strength of the human heart and our endless capacity to find meaning in love. I hope you enjoy listening.  Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Synopsis: Nimbus Therapeutics CEO Abbas Kazimi walks Alok Tayi through the company's evolving pipeline and playbook for choosing the right risks in a noisy biotech environment. From Werner helicase for MSI-high cancers to a highly selective SIK2 program and GLP-1–adjacent strategies focused on body composition, Abbas details how Nimbus balances rigor, speed, and capital efficiency. He shares candid lessons from pausing and later resurrecting AMPK beta in partnership with Eli Lilly, the decision to remain modality-agnostic but small-molecule-centric, and the importance of knowing when not to chase the latest fad. Throughout, Abbas returns to a consistent theme: success at Nimbus comes from disciplined target selection, deep collaboration, and a culture that empowers teams to make hard calls in service of patients rather than headlines. Biography: Abbas Kazimi is the Chief Executive Officer of Nimbus Therapeutics. Previously, he served as Chief Business Officer, leading the company's strategic and corporate development efforts while overseeing business operations. Since joining Nimbus in 2014, he has helped raise over $630 million in equity financing and led transactions totaling more than $8 billion. Notably, Mr. Kazimi spearheaded the $6 billion sale of Nimbus's TYK2 program to Takeda, the $1.2 billion sale of its NASH (ACC) program to Gilead, and multiple licensing deals exceeding $1.5 billion with partners such as Genentech, Celgene/Roche, and Eli Lilly. Under his leadership, Nimbus has advanced four programs into the clinic, returned over $4 billion to investors, and continues to expand its computational drug discovery and clinical development capabilities. In 2025, Mr. Kazimi joined the board of Unnatural Products (UNP), a biotech company pioneering orally delivered macrocyclic peptides to tackle previously undruggable targets. He also serves on the Editorial Advisory Board for In Vivo magazine, a leading publication offering strategic insights and analysis of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medtech, and consumer health industries. Along with his family, he established the Kazimi Family Endowment for Data Science in Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. This endowment reflects their personal commitment to philanthropy and their vision for revolutionizing cancer treatment through data-driven innovation. At the core of Mr. Kazimi's leadership is a deep sense of purpose—one that seeks to change the trajectory of medical diagnoses where options are limited. The ability to give patients, prescribers, and families a new outlook on life is a powerful responsibility—and one he knows the biopharmaceutical sector has the ability to fulfill. Before Nimbus, he was at Extera Partners, LLC (formerly PureTech Development, LLC), where he provided strategic advisory, supported fundraising, and executed numerous business development transactions. Earlier in his career, he was with JSB-Partners, LP, a specialized investment banking and advisory firm serving biotech and pharmaceutical companies.

Today, the bestselling author turns his engineer's mind toward life's biggest question: how can we live well and meaningfully in an age defined by artificial intelligence? This monumental 2.5 hour episode, which Mo Islam called “the best I've ever shot”, is a journey through life, loss, and the future of humanity.Mo Gawdat opens up about his late son Ali and the lessons that inspired ‘Solve for Happy', before diving into the decade of disruption ahead: from the rise of AI and autonomous weapons to universal basic income and the impending economic reset. Together, the two Mo's explore why Arabs are so misunderstood in the West, how ethical AI must be grounded in love and empathy, and how the Middle East can lead the next wave of innovation.  They challenge the failures of modern education, the grip of the military-industrial complex, and even the mysteries of the space-time continuum, all while searching for meaning in what Mo calls the “legendary level” of modern life. A very big thanks to Merwas Studios in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for inviting us to shoot in their WORLD CLASS Studios! 00:00 Intro03:18 IBM, Microsoft & Google X05:07 Losing Ali: The Moment Everything Changed09:27 Writing Solve for Happy11:41 Leaving Google & Launching “1 Billion Happy”13:35 Living with Loss17:05 Fate, Life & the Interconnectedness of Everything23:04 Death as the Opposite of Birth26:02 The Video Game of Life31:23 Ali's Death & Mo's Purpose34:53 Redefining Success: Impact over Ego38:54 Learning, Curiosity & Creation44:08 Solitude & Silent Retreats49:01 Meditation Practices55:13 Mindfulness in Daily Life57:06 The Loneliness Epidemic1:01:02 East vs. West: Community vs. Individualism1:05:10 Surveillance, Privacy & the Illusion of Security1:08:11 Raising Children in a Broken World1:11:03 The Collapse of Capitalism & the Rise of AI1:21:16 China vs. The West1:24:06 The Illusion of Stock Markets & Institutional Control1:30:03 War Economics: How Weapons Drive Profit1:35:19 Humanity's Awakening & Questioning the System1:41:08 Reclaiming the Arab Narrative1:47:27 Building Ethical AI1:52:18 Entrepreneurship, Self-Reliance & Believing in the Region2:00:03 Education is Broken2:07:03 Business vs. Capitalism: Purpose Over Profit2:10:00 Reclaiming Global Perception2:17:13 Governance, Fairness & Leadership in the Arab World2:22:06 Living in Uncertain Times2:25:17 The Ultimate Video Game of Life2:26:57 Closing Reflections

Want a real look at how breakthrough tech actually gets built and shipped? I had the pleasure of sitting down with Samira Naraghi, Chief Business Officer at Enovix, who has held previous roles at AWS, Meta, Qualcomm, and other notable companies, to unpack a career defined by tackling challenging problems, making significant pivots, and achieving results that speak louder than titles. From growing up in post-war Iran, where power outages made technology feel magical, to leading global go-to-market strategies and launching industry-defining products, Samira shows how adaptability, curiosity, and grit compound into leadership.We trace the through line across semiconductors, cloud, and next-gen batteries: translating deep technology into real business impact. Samira breaks down why go-to-market must start on day one, how co-building with early customers derisks product-market fit, and what it takes to prioritize nascent bets like AR when constraints around power, space, and manufacturability are unforgiving. She shares the unglamorous truth of innovation, fighting physics, supply chains, and disbelief, while still hitting commitments through decisive execution and a culture built for pressure.For women in tech navigating ceilings and seeking visibility, the guidance is clear and actionable. Choose the messy, high-impact work others avoid. Build trust by delivering under pressure. Communicate with clarity, drop the hedging, and be overprepared. We also explore becoming future-ready with AI: learn the fundamentals, speak the language, and use the tools to amplify your work. Mentorship, peer networks, and “quiet boldness” round out a candid playbook for career growth that doesn't wait for permission.I hope this conversation gives you the nudge to take the harder path intentionally, and if so, share it with a friend who needs the encouragement. Subscribe for more honest, tactical stories from leaders building the future, and leave a review to tell us the bold move you're making next.Hi Mary here, through my conversations with women leaders, I've learned just how urgent the need is for AI strategies that actually make sense. It's not about adopting tools just to keep up; it's about building a smart foundation. That's exactly what Beyondsoft is doing.
