Send us Fan MailGoogle Marketing Live 2026 just happened - and the message wasn't about features. It was a warning. In this solo episode, Anya Chrisanthon - CCO at Anewgo - breaks down the biggest announcements from GML 2026 and translates them into plain language for home builder sales and marketing leaders.The headline nobody said out loud Google's Chief Business Officer opened with "I'm not exaggerating when I say we have made a decade's worth of innovation in the last year alone." That's not marketing speak. That's a warning for anyone still in wait-and-see mode.How your buyers are already searching differently AI Overviews now reaches 2.5 billion monthly users. AI Mode has passed 1 billion. Searches in AI Mode run three times as long as traditional searches. Your buyer is having a conversation with AI right now - and if your website doesn't give AI enough to work with, you're not in that conversation.The best ads must be answers Google's VP of Ads said it directly on stage: "The best ads must be answers." Google introduced a Business Agent for Leads - already being tested in real estate - where buyers can ask questions inside an ad and get answers pulled directly from your website. If your website doesn't have clear, specific answers to real buyer questions, AI has nothing to pull from.AI Brief: great news for smaller builder marketing teams AI Brief lets advertisers give Google's AI a creative brief in plain language and let it handle execution. The role of your marketing team is shifting from doing to directing - and that levels the playing field against national builders with big agencies.The Universal Cart - and why John Lee called this years ago Google's Universal Cart follows buyers across Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail without losing their place. John Lee has been talking about this exact connected, agentic buyer journey for years. Anewgo's ChatGPT integration - where a buyer designs their home in ChatGPT and arrives on your website already identified and engaged - is the home building version of this. It exists today.Measurement finally grows up Google's Meridian marketing mix modeling tool is now inside Google Analytics 360. For the first time, builders have infrastructure to show leadership exactly which channels are driving sales - not just leads.

You've been doing the work. Reading, listening, growing, trying. And yet something keeps feeling off, like the life you're building is quietly being pulled in a direction you didn't choose. In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google X, bestselling author of Solve for Happy and Scary Smart, and one of the most original thinkers on the planet. This isn't a conversation about productivity or optimisation. It's about something deeper: the invisible forces shaping who you are, how you think, and what you believe is possible, and how to take that back. If you've ever caught yourself thinking: "I feel like I'm losing time but I don't know where it's going" "Something feels off but I can't name it" "I don't feel as in control of my life as I want to be" "I want to feel more like myself again" "I'm not sure what's actually true anymore" WHAT WE COVER: The unconscious daily decisions quietly costing you years of your life Why your life is being hijacked and how to see it clearly How long-form content protects your emotional intelligence Mo's framework for knowing what is actually true in the news How to move from passive observer to someone who actually makes change The flip flop deep technique for consuming information consciously The difference between a good man and a nice man A powerful 30-minute brain exercise Mo does every day Whether AI is a threat or the greatest opportunity humanity has ever had How to raise conscious humans in an AI world Why utopia might only be 10 years away Mo Gawdat doesn't just name the problem.

Airbnb is no longer just a marketplace for stays—it's becoming a fully integrated travel platform. In this special episode recorded live from Airbnb's 2026 Summer Product Release in San Francisco, Jamie Lane sits down with Airbnb's Chief Business Officer, Dave Stephenson, to unpack what these changes really mean for hosts, property managers, and the broader STR ecosystem.At the center of it all is AI. From personalized listing pages to smarter review insights and improved comparison tools, Airbnb is quietly reshaping how guests discover and book properties. Instead of generic search results, guests are moving toward highly customized experiences—where each listing dynamically adapts to what matters most to them. For hosts, that raises the stakes: the quality, structure, and specificity of your listing data has never been more important.But the bigger story may be Airbnb's expansion beyond homes. With hotels, services, and experiences now deeply integrated—and a bold 15% hotel credit creating a powerful loyalty loop—Airbnb is building a travel flywheel designed to capture demand at every stage of the journey. The result? More travelers entering the ecosystem, and more opportunities for hosts to win bookings—if they're positioned correctly.You don't want to miss this episode.Key Takeaways for Hosts & Operators:AI is reshaping conversion: Airbnb is using AI to personalize search results, highlight specific listing features, and guide booking decisions—meaning optimized listings will outperform more than ever.Your listing is now dynamic: Different guests may see different aspects of your property first (e.g., pool, design, location), so clear, detailed, and well-structured content is critical.Hotels = more demand, not just competition: Airbnb's hotel push (with a 15% credit incentive) is designed to bring more travelers into the ecosystem—benefiting hosts through increased exposure.The “travel flywheel” is real: With services, experiences, and stays all connected, Airbnb is aiming to own the full trip—keeping users on-platform and driving repeat bookings.Big events still favor STRs: For major demand drivers like the FIFA World Cup, group travel and price-per-person value continue to give short-term rentals a strong edge.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

From the time you start to suspect you might have an HPAI outbreak on your farm, to getting lab confirmation, can take between 1 and 5 days. And while producers wait for those results to come back, they're forced to make extremely tough decisions — cancelling deliveries, isolating employees, culling entire flocks — based on incomplete information. Erik Tyrrell-Knott is the President and Chief Business Officer of Alveo, a company that's built a handheld HPAI testing device that delivers a trustworthy result in 45 minutes. And while their tests won't replace the current lab testing we use today, their aim is to give veterinarians and producers the data they need to act with speed and confidence. Today, Erik walks us through how the test works, why it represents such an important leap forward in the fight against HPAI, and how it could one day make "partial depopulation" possible.

What if the reason you feel like you're failing… isn't you?In this powerful conversation, Zoe sits down with Vanessa Kingori OBE - former Publishing Director of British Vogue, Chief Business Officer at Condé Nast Britain, and one of the most influential women in global media.Vanessa made history as the first woman to lead the commercial side of British Vogue in its 100+ year history, after already breaking boundaries as the first female publisher of GQ. She's worked at the very top of global brands, including Condé Nast and Google, and is known for driving significant commercial growth while reshaping workplace culture.But alongside all of that, she's also a mother.Vanessa shares the truth so many women feel but rarely say out loud: that motherhood is harder than we expected, not because we're doing it wrong, but because the system around us isn't built to support us.From taking on one of the biggest jobs in media whilst trying for a baby to challenging outdated workplace norms around motherhood, this is a conversation about rewriting the rules for ourselves and the next generation.This episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and more confident in the way you're navigating both work and motherhood.

I'm off again. This weekend I'll be heading to London for the Customer Alpha event, where I'll be delivering the keynote for the conference. “Customer Alpha is a leading customer experience event bringing together a cross-industry community of professionals who never stop striving to better understand and deliver for customers.” How cool is that! I'm excited to be there, and talking about my concept of The UN-WOW. The basic idea is that rather than just focusing on those WOW moments, we need to focus on how to deliver value and connection in those basic day-to-day interactions where people don't want to be WOW'ed.  A lot of focus on the WOW is around the idea that things only qualify as experiences when they hit that WOW level. So if you are an experience designer, odds are you are going to shoot for that WOW. But that can be a big hill to climb, and it misses the other types of opportunities that exist which don't involve those dramatically staged moments. Also, staged can feel inauthentic and not organic. To be staged can also feel performative. Performance can also involve a script. The words being spoken are yours, but ones written for you by someone else.  Thus, the UN-WOW is in part a call for the small moments that create connection and a sense of authenticity.  Today's guest on Experience by Design also has thoughts on the role of making connections in human moments as part of customer experience. Natalie Beckerman, Executive Vice President and  Chief Business Officer at iQor, has experience across many different industries, organizations, and continents. Regardless of where she has been, she has seen the same problems which involve the pursuit of efficiency at the cost of humanity. Part of this lies in not using technology in a way that enhances experiences. Seeing this problem led her to write her new best selling book, “When Did You Stop Caring: The Call to Reignite Humanity in a World Obsessed with Efficiency.” In her book, she calls for companies to do better for customers and workers by focusing on what matters: people. Using examples from her career and research, she lays out why it makes sense to start caring not only because it is the right thing to do, but because businesses that care do better. We talk about her career and her book. We also talk about her work with Customer Contact Week, which hosts events around the world. This includes CCW UK which takes place May 11-13, or next week!  Natalie shares her athletic past, including playing on the US National Field Hockey Team and being an All-American at Northwestern University. Along with her Masters degree in Sports Psychology, Natalie links how optimizing performance should be not just about the outcome, but also the impacts that processes, systems, and cultures have on the people who are part of it. We also celebrate her induction into the Rancocas Valley Regional High School Athletic Hall of Fame.  Learn more: Natalie Beckerman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliedbeckerman1/ “When did You Stop Caring”: https://www.amazon.com/When-Did-You-Stop-Caring/dp/1969508442 iQor: https://www.iqor.com/ Customer Contact Week: https://www.customercontactweek.com/  

The previous episode of the Adversary Universe podcast explored the “vuln-pocalypse” and the implications of advanced AI models accelerating vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Now, we're diving into how companies are working together to face these evolving security risks. CrowdStrike Chief Business Officer Daniel Bernard spends much of his time talking with partners and customers about how to address their growing concerns: Is their business protected? Do they know which vulnerabilities are in their environment? What do they do about them? In this episode, Daniel joins Adam and Cristian to discuss why it takes an ecosystem of partners to answer these questions and help each business evaluate risk. He sheds light on the newly expanded Project Quiltworks — CrowdStrike's coalition for securing frontier AI risk — as well as Anthropic's Project Glasswing and OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber as initiatives the industry needs in this critical time. “It feels like right now we're at this fever-pitch moment ... where we're going to do more patching in the next 6-12 months than we've probably done in the last 6-12 years," he says in this episode. To handle this, partner efforts are picking up speed. The “digital line” to join the project is growing as organizations jump in to help with solving the new problems companies face. Tune in to hear the latest on Project Quiltworks, the issues coming up most in CISO conversations, and of course, everyone's favorite bread of the moment in this episode of the Adversary Universe podcast.

James Ryan, Chief Legal Officer and Chief Business Officer at BioNTech, joins Scott Brown to discuss the lessons he's learned leading through one of the most transformative periods in the biotech industry.In this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law, James reflects on his journey from scientist to lawyer, before eventually stepping into one of the most influential legal leadership roles in biotech. Joining BioNTech before it became globally recognised, he shares what it was like helping scale a fast-growing research-focused company into a world-leading biotechnology business, while navigating the intensity and pressure that came with rapid global growth and strategic partnerships, including BioNTech's landmark collaboration with Pfizer.James' first lesson focuses on the importance of curiosity. From scientific research to complex legal negotiations, he explains why asking better questions, understanding the client's objectives, and genuinely engaging with the business leads to stronger advice and deeper trust.His second lesson is about objectivity. James discusses the challenge lawyers face when businesses want a particular answer — and why legal leaders must remain calm, analytical, and willing to give the advice that needs to be heard, not simply the advice others want.Finally, he talks about remembering that everyone is human. Reflecting on periods of extreme pressure and workload, James explains why approachable legal teams build stronger businesses, why mistakes need to be surfaced early rather than hidden, and why lawyers need downtime and perspective to perform at their best.Along the way, James also shares insights into:Transitioning from Chief Legal Officer into a broader Chief Business Officer role How legal teams earn influence inside high-growth businesses Why biotech companies think differently about risk The importance of relationships, curiosity, and trust in leadership How climbing helps him switch off and solve problems more effectively This episode is brought to you in partnership with Wordsmith AI — the legal AI platform built specifically for in-house teams.Guest RecommendationsFilm: Free Solo Hobby: Climbing Resources & Links Mentioned in This EpisodeRegister your interest in joining The Lodge In-house Legal Community: https://bit.ly/TheLodgebyHB ECA: https://www.cpduk.co.uk/courses/heriot-brown-executive-counsel-accelerator-eca-courseWordsmith AI: https://www.wordsmith.ai/ Listen to the PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/4 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/Connect with Heriot Brownhttps://heriotbrown.com/ About Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

AI seems to be having a positive impact on Kiwi businesses. A new report from 2degrees and Deloitte suggests small and medium businesses using high levels of AI made around $400,000 more in 2025 than comparable non-users. Larger businesses averaged around $59.1 million more, with 82% of firms using some form of AI. 2degrees Chief Business Officer Andrew Fairgray told Mike Hosking the ones getting the best results are being disciplined and going deep. He says they're not just redesigning existing workflows with the addition of AI, they're stepping back and looking at what they need to do going forward, and how they can leverage AI as an enabler.

Equinix, Inc., the world's digital infrastructure company®, has announced the availability of Equinix Fabric Intelligence, an AI-native operational layer to manage network infrastructure. Fabric Intelligence enables enterprises to deploy AI-powered networking across their operations, a shift from legacy software-defined networking design to simplify the complexities of today's AI workflows. Powering the Equinix Distributed AI Hub, Fabric Intelligence introduces smart automation for deploying, optimizing and maintaining global infrastructure, giving organisations a more resilient, efficient and adaptive backbone for their AI workloads. "The whole concept of AI is to make processes faster, and manual processes for network monitoring and management are difficult, if not impossible, to scale effectively," said Jim Frey, Principal Analyst at Omdia. "Our research shows 93% of organizations agree that network automation will be essential for keeping pace with future change, and 88% also agree that AI itself will be required for effective network automation. With Fabric Intelligence, Equinix is providing enterprises the AI-driven control plane for deploying, activating, and managing multi-cloud networking, to help them meet the scale and automation needs of the distributed AI era." AI thrives in dynamic, connected environments, but many enterprises rely on slow, rigid legacy network architectures that were never designed for the speed and complexity of today's intelligence systems. As AI adoption continues to accelerate, traditional network operations teams are struggling to keep up. Manual workflows can create bottlenecks, long deployment cycles hamper growth, and visibility gaps compound the challenge. AI demands real-time, adaptive networking—driving a shift to AI-assisted network operations that interpret telemetry and respond dynamically. The result is a widening gap between the speed of AI and the networks expected to support it. Fabric Intelligence automates how AI workloads connect and operate across clouds, data centres and edge environments. It provides organisations with a smarter way to manage the complexity of AI by automating how their connections are set up, adjusted and maintained across these distributed environments. As a result, distributed systems run reliably without constant manual effort, freeing teams to focus on strategic business priorities, such as building new AI capabilities and scaling operations. "All enterprises are focused on leveraging AI to transform their business, but most lack the infrastructure needed to deploy it at scale in ways that drive their growth," said Jon Lin, Chief Business Officer at Equinix. "As agentic AI matures and inferencing applications proliferate across the enterprise, networking infrastructure needs to be faster and more flexible than ever before.Fabric Intelligence turns infrastructure from a constraint to a competitive advantage by enabling our customers to spend less time managing complexity and more time moving their business forward." Fabric Intelligence provides a suite of AI-native solutions enabling enterprises to design, deploy and manage their infrastructure using intuitive tools like natural language, automated agentic workflows and powerful predictive insights. Combined with Equinix's global infrastructure of 280 high-performance data centers in 77 metros around the world, Equinix is helping to accelerate enterprise adoption of AI tools and next-generation infrastructure. Earlier this year, Equinix also joined the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), the open foundation driving the transparent and collaborative evolution of agentic AI, as a Gold member. This commitment will help build an open, secure and infrastructure-ready foundation for the global autonomous economy. Fabric Intelligence, part of the Equinix Fabric® portfolio with more than 4,400 customers worldwide, is made up of the following components: Fabric Super Agent An AI superagent that helps customers au...

This special episode of the podcast is brought to you in partnership with Encompass Technologies, and explores how breweries are using data to create savvier approaches to distribution and growth. It's no secret that it's become harder to sell beer over the past few years, with two consecutive years where brewery closures have outpaced openings. Distributors are far less bullish on craft beer than they once were. Broader economic pressure has led to more price sensitivity in certain segments of consumers, while operating costs for breweries have skyrocketed, compressing margins and making it ever more important to forecast correctly. As things tighten, waste is just not an option, and breweries and distributors can't afford to not get it right the first time. Breweries that are making great beer but also using data to drive decision making while managing distributor relationships with intention, are able to thrive despite the challenges in the current economic environment. Joining for this conversation on how breweries can use data to drive decision making and optimize their relationships with distributors and by extension retailers are: Ryan Bandy, Chief Business Officer, Indeed Brewing Patrick Tickle, CEO, Encompass Technologies Growth may be harder to find in the current macroeconomic environment, but it's not impossible, and with the right products, right strategies, and right tools, breweries like Indeed are achieving growth despite the industry headwinds.
