In This Episode Payments are getting faster. From RTP to stablecoins, rails are modernizing. Speed alone doesn't equal progress, however. As real-time payment systems expand, banks, businesses, and policymakers are asking a bigger question: how do new payment rails actually change how money moves, decisions get made, and value is created? In this episode of Breaking Banks, host Jason Henrichs brings together Dominic Venturo, SEVP and Chief Digital Officer at U.S. Bank and David Watson, President and CEO at The Clearing House to explore what is really changing beneath the surface. The trio discuss: how instant payments are moving beyond consumer use cases into business and treasury workflows, where banks are finding real opportunity (and where they aren't), and how tools like request-for-payment and stablecoins are reshaping cash flow and transparency. Share with industry friends and colleagues. The episode is not to be missed!

Peter Kornberg: How a Non-Recruiter Built $1M+ Revenue 15 years in a row (with Just 6 People)Peter Kornberg never worked a day as an agency recruiter.He worked in Advertising and Marketing and became a Chief Digital Officer.He ran a product design agency in New York City. Clients started asking for talent they couldn't afford to engage the agency for. So Peter said: "We can provide you some people."That was 15 years ago.What started as an ad hoc favour became UX Hires -a staffing and recruitment firm that's done $1M+ in revenue every single year since (with a team of six).But it wasn't always lean and profitable.In 2021, they had 60 open roles. A full team of employees. An expensive New York City office. Peter hired a leader to run the recruitment business."He didn't bring in any business. He wasn't particularly effective at managing," Peter admits."Didn't really fulfil that potential."They were grinding. Burning out. Taking on everything that came through the door."We didn't effectively weigh the roles that came in as we saw everything as money. Everything was opportunities. So we just went for everything."The team wasn't profitable, this model wasn't working.So Peter stripped it back.He kept only his best recruiters and sourcers. People who could deliver exceptional outcomes regardless of market conditions. No 360 recruiters, only delivery consultants with him focusing on winning all new business."Really focus on people that can deliver great outcomes," he says. "I can handle the rest around that, which is client relationships."But here's what makes Peter different.He split his team between sourcing and recruiting. Sourcers find people; that's all they do. Recruiters manage clients and placements. It's all relationship-based building.60% of his revenue now comes from contract and he's rebuilt his entire approach to work: "I could probably get more done in five hours of really productive work than 15 hours of grinding away and burning out."He doesn't believe in “hustle culture” and he's not trying to build an empire. He's quietly built a sustainable, profitable role business that gives him his life back.We cover:- Why never being a recruiter became his biggest advantage- The 60-role mistake that nearly broke the business- How he rebuilt around just 6 people and hit $1M+ consistently- The split desk model (and why he refuses 360 recruiters)- Why 60% contract revenue changed everything- The failed leader hire (and why BD roles are so hard to delegate)- Time blocking and the 5-hour productivity principle- How AI is reshaping UX and product design recruitmentThis isn't about scaling fast or an exit strategy.It's about a non-recruiter who stumbled into being a recruiter, nearly burned out chasing growth, and rebuilt a million-dollar business around what actually works: small team, high margins, client relationships.No investment decks and growth-at-all-costs. Just profitability and freedom.If you've ever wondered whether you can build a 7-figure recruitment business without the complexity, the burn-out, or the endless headcount - this episode will help!__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: Remote RecruitmentHiring shouldn't be slow, stressful, or expensive.

In dieser Folge von „Das Ohr am Netz“ steht für Sven Oswald und Sidonie Krug die Frage im Mittelpunkt, warum die Verwaltungsdigitalisierung hakt und wie wir den Turbo einschalten können. Diskutiert wird, wie die Verwaltung in Deutschland tatsächlich digital wird und wo politische Ansprüche auf praktische Umsetzung treffen. Staatliche Digitalisierung gilt als zentrale Voraussetzung für Leistungsfähigkeit und Nutzerfreundlichkeit, im Alltag aber zeigt sich oft ein anderes Bild. Insights dazu liefern Martina Klement und Ann Cathrin Riedel. Martina Klement ist Staatssekretärin für Digitalisierung und Chief Digital Officer des Landes Berlin. In Berlin treibt sie nicht nur einzelne Projekte voran, sondern gestaltet im Rahmen einer umfassenden Verwaltungsreform, wie Behörden strukturell und digital modernisiert werden können. Sie bringt konkrete Erfahrungen aus der Praxis ein, wo föderale Strukturen, Zuständigkeiten und Reformdruck aufeinandertreffen und warum digitale Angebote dort entstehen oder ins Stocken geraten. Einen anderen Blick bringt Ann Cathrin Riedel, Geschäftsführerin des NExT-Netzwerks, ein. Sie nimmt die Perspektive der Zivilgesellschaft ein und ordnet ein, warum bekannte Probleme der Verwaltungsdigitalisierung seit Jahren ungelöst bleiben. Im Gespräch geht es um Nachnutzung digitaler Lösungen, kulturelle und organisatorische Hürden, Führungsfragen sowie darum, was Verwaltung aus gescheiterten Digitalprojekten lernen muss. Diese Folge beleuchtet, warum viele gute Ideen im Verwaltungssystem nicht skaliert werden, welche Faktoren Reformen beschleunigen können und wie Deutschland die Verwaltung zugänglicher für Bürgerinnen und Unternehmen machen kann.

Today, I'm joined by Henrik de Gyor, Chief Digital Officer of My AI Fluency and a no-nonsense digital transformation leader. He's an expert in how to streamline content operations, integrate AI responsibly, and scale workflows without chaos. Expect practical lessons on metadata, change management, and building repeatable systems that deliver measurable results.In this series, we break down practical workflows for meetings, writing, health, and career growth. Listen now and tell us: where will you start?Remote work gives freedom, yet meetings still drain time and attention. The old model of half-listening while scribbling notes creates errors, missed context, and long post-call cleanup. The conversation centers on a better way: use AI to capture the full meeting, extract a crisp summary, and map action items with owners and dates. This shift frees you to be present, ask sharper questions, and make decisions in real time. Instead of juggling tabs and bullet points, you focus on outcomes while a transcript anchors the details you'll need later. It's not about buying the trendiest app; it's about redesigning a workflow that eliminates rework.Looking for Remote Work?Click here remoteworklife.io to access a private beta list of remote jobs in sales, marketing, and strategy — plus get podcasts, real-world tips and business insights from founders, CEOs, and remote leaders. subscribe to my free newsletter Connect on LinkedIn

In this episode, Verena Gründel talks to Andrea Lederer, Chief Digital Officer at Weleda, the iconic natural cosmetics brand loved by Bella Hadid. Andrea shares her journey of digitally transforming a 105-year-old heritage company, building e-commerce structures from the ground up, and aligning digital goals with brand values like premiumization and sustainability. They discuss how Andrea restructured teams, harmonized global data, launched new digital campaigns, and what it takes to move fast without losing sight of brand identity. 5 Data-Driven Takeaways from the Podcast: When Andrea joined, the digital team was "somewhere in marketing" — not linked to sales or customers. Reporting systems were disconnected. “As global CDO, I couldn't even tell you how much we were selling digitally,” she says. That changed fast. She aligned her strategy with Weleda's four corporate goals: internationalization, digitization, premiumization, and product innovation. “We asked: what role does digital play in each? Then we translated it into team and individual goals,” Andrea explains. She also brought in structure. “We clarified roles, cleaned up CRM, launched paid media, and set pricing rules.” Quick wins like Prime Day campaigns and social media boosts delivered instant ROI without compromising brand positioning. Weleda's first D2C-webshop launched in 2024.Today, 40% of webshop traffic comes from paid media. Global sales achieved double-digit growth in 2025. Digital were outpacing traditional channels. Andrea restructured and re-hired nearly the entire digital team.

Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with Andrew Smeall, VP, Product Innovation at Sage. Andrew is a leader in digital scholarly publishing. He began his career in publishing, and became interested in media and technology, while working at the Center on US-China Relations, which he describes as a "think tank" that produces research on US-China environmental relations and US-China economic relations, where he worked to organize research projects, make their white papers more interesting  and to make that research more discoverable using WordPress sites or flash sites.  He joined Hindawi while working towards his MBA, where he learned about open access and led the redevelopment of its publishing platform, eventually becoming Chief Digital Officer.  Now at Sage, he builds technology strategy for their research business and journals business, helping to decide what platforms to build and which to buy, whether to develop a technology in house or work with a vendor who supplies it, and deciding how best to provide these needed services to researchers.  In this conversation, Andrew also delves into some challenges facing current publishing models and provides some interesting viewpoints.  The video of this interview can be found here: https://youtu.be/oCXaZSwAU9U LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mupshall/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/smeall/ Keywords: #Science #OpenScience #Research #ResearchWorkflow #OpenResearch #ResearchPublishing #Metadata #DigitalTransformation #ResearchIntegrity #ResearchCulture #ScientificPublishing #HumanitiesPublishing #PublishingTechnology #Discovery #LibraryTechnology #Innovation #career #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication #libraries #librarianship #LibraryNeeds #LibraryLove #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #publishing #LibrariesAndPublishers #podcasts

In this special episode, host Cindi Howson pulls together the most useful, and hard-won, lessons from a year of conversations with Data Chiefs leading the GenAI charge. With generative and agentic AI no longer a side experiment, this episode spotlights five practices early adopters can rely on to move from pilots to profit. Expect straight talk on what to prioritize, how to bring people with you, and how to scale AI with the trust, literacy, and guardrails that make impact stick.Key Moments:Tying AI to Real Dollars with Anand Iyer, Ecolab (02:10): Anand cuts through the GenAI FOMO and brings everything back to a simple survival test: if you can't draw a straight line from an AI initiative to top-line growth or bottom-line savings, it won't last. His lesson is a sharp reminder that “cool” doesn't scale, value does. Leading Through Ambiguity with Karen Stroup, WEX (06:01): Karen names what everyone's feeling: ambiguity is paralyzing. She explains how leaders earn trust by shrinking the unknown into learnable, bite-sized experiments and creating the psychological safety people need to engage instead of resist.Building Practical AI Literacy at Scale with Josh Cunningham, Lloyds Banking Group (12:42):  Josh shares how Lloyds Banking Group makes literacy impactful by meeting people where they are. Rather than one-size-fits-all training, they pair broad fundamentals with role-specific learning so every business unit can build confidence in ways that match their actual work. Scaling Responsible Agentic AI with Noelle Russell, AI Leadership Institute (25:09): Noelle steps in with a practical framework for building agentic systems that don't go rogue. She walks through the POET framework and stresses that responsible AI isn't a final checkpoint. It's something you embed from the first idea to production, with guardrails that protect people and outcomes.Embedding AI Where Work Happens with Ilan Twig, Navan (32:35): Ilan tells a classic early-adopter story: start with a business problem, move fast, and be ruthless about what needs building versus buying. His lesson is that AI wins when it's inside the workflow, supporting decisions at the point of impact rather than living in a separate tool. Don't Let Perfection Stall Progress with Ketan Karkhanis, ThoughtSpot (40:59): Ketan shares a culture gut-check: waiting for perfect metrics, perfect KPIs, or perfect clarity is how progress dies. He argues for visible, trust-building iteration, because in AI, speed to learning beats speed to certainty. Key Quotes:“One thing that people sometimes forget is that at the end of the day, it's all about are we either saving money or making money? And are you able to show that in the bottom line or the top line in a measurable way?” - Anand Iyer“I don't think there's any chief anything officer that should not be considering AI today. I think if you're not considering AI, you are at the risk of being disrupted because you're not going to be learning at the pace with the rest of the industry, and there's someone out there looking for a better way.” - Karen Stroup“It's trying your best to meet people where they are… Finding a way to anchor the [AI] learning to something that's relevant to their day-to-day role is always going to make it land better.” - Josh Cunningham“ When people lose 70% of their trust in you, they just don't buy from you, they don't work for you, they don't talk about you… and your business starts to die. I think that trust component is a human component… and it is underpinning all the other philosophies that I have.” - Noelle Russell“When you asked me about how to educate yourself on AI, I think that companies must make a decision, and quickly, this or that.” - Ilan Twig“ Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress.” - Ketan KarkhanisGuest Bios Anand IyerAnand Iyer is the SVP, Chief Data Officer at Ecolab, where he leads the company's global data and analytics strategy. Based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, he oversees enterprise data governance, business intelligence, engineering, and advanced analytics to accelerate Ecolab's digital transformation.

She brings more than 15 years of experience leading product management, digital, and innovation organizations focused on software as a service offerings, primarily in financial services.Josh CunninghamJosh Cunningham is the Group Head of Data and AI Culture at Lloyds Banking Group, where he leads the Data Culture Pillar—one of five strategic pillars in the Group's data strategy. He is focused on embedding data-driven mindsets across the organization and empowering teams to unlock the full value of data.Noelle RussellNoelle Russell is a multi-award-winning speaker, author, and AI Executive who specializes in transforming businesses through strategic AI adoption.

My guests today are two leaders who are reshaping how marketing makes decisions in the age of AI. Henry, or his close friends and pretty much everybody calls him, Hen, is the co-founder and CEO of Mutinex, the company behind Theseus AI. It's built on a simple belief that measurement should be continuous, transparent, and tied to real business decisions, not quarterly reporting cycles and guest work decks. My other guest is Amin Mrini, who is the Chief Digital Officer for Lions & WARC, where he connects the dots between strategy, media, and the fastest-moving part of modern marketing - the moment where brand, product, and purchase collapse into a single action. Together, they are building what they are calling, "marketing super intelligence" combining global benchmarks with real-time modeling to give the C-suite something marketing has been chasing for decades, a shared truth. It's the kind finance believes the boardroom uses and marketing can act on tomorrow morning, not in six months. We're going to dig into what Marketing Superintelligence unlocks and how it changes the relationship between marketing, finance, and decision making inside business.

Dollar General has appointed Travis Nixon as SVP of Artificial Intelligence, tasking him with using AI to optimize supply chain, store operations, and merchandising. But how long before every retailer has a Chief AI Officer—and is this even the right approach? Waqas Khan delivers a masterclass on why standalone AI roles may follow the same fate as Chief Digital Officers, most of whom lasted less than two years before the role dissolved. The panel discusses why Dollar General's SVP approach (rather than C-suite) may be smarter, which executive should oversee AI transformation, and why AI needs to be embedded across all functions rather than siloed.

When people talk about the place of AI in the workforce, it’s mostly doom and gloom about how AI is going to take your job. I’ve even sounded the alarm myself about podcasts entirely produced and hosted without the contribution of a single human being. My lunch guests today are coming at AI from a whole different angle. As he sits here eating lunch, Daniel Crowley’s AI employee, Chuck, is hard at work, manning Daniel’s business, Hello Gravel. Hello Gravel isn’t a dating app. It’s a gravel delivery business. You know, gravel. Little rocks. Actually, there are all types of gravel. And before you order a truckload, you’re going to need to know exactly what you want. Chuck can help you with that. Chuck – who, just to be clear, is not a human being - can also tell you how much gravel you need and answer any and all questions you might have about gravel. He’ll also take your payment and schedule your delivery. AI Chuck is closing gravel sales every day. Last month he brought in $150,000. Dave Maher is part owner and Chief Digital Officer at a marketing company called Zehnder that’s headquartered here in New Orleans and has offices in Baton Rouge, Nashville, and Rosemary Beach, Florida. Two things about that sentence: One, Dave is part owner of Zehnder along with his 64 colleagues. Zehnder is what’s called an ESOP - a business classification that stands for Employee Stock Ownership Plan, in which all of the employees own the company. And, two, having an office in Rosemary Beach Florida is a little unusual. So here’s the skinny on that: Rosemary Beach is primarily fueled by tourism, and it’s not the kind of place you go for a budget vacation. So, you’ve got a bunch of people with a significant amount of spending power, and there’s only so many hours a day they can spend on the beach. The rest of their vacation they’re looking for something to do that suits their personal interest. They might want to discover a good bookstore, a great yoga class, tennis lessons, or other activities they would enjoy doing on vacation, if they knew where to find them. That’s where Dave’s AI creation, Ask Seemore, comes in. Rosemary Beach is in Walton County, Florida, and Seemore the turtle is the logo of Walton County Tourism. Dave Maher’s AI version of Seemore is on your phone. He’s on vacation with you. He knows where you are, what you like, what you probably want to do next, and where to do it. Ask Seemore is like going on vacation with a local who totally gets you. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

Episode SummaryDigital advertising promised perfect accountability—laser-sharp targeting, flawless attribution, and measurable results down to the last click. But what if the data has been lying to us all along?Dr. Augustine Fou, former Chief Digital Officer and independent ad fraud researcher, reveals why the "1% fraud rate" you've been hearing for a decade is dangerously wrong. In this eye-opening conversation, he exposes the systemic incentives that allow ad fraud to thrive, costing advertisers billions while enriching middlemen, platforms, and fraudsters.You'll discover how a major hotel chain found their "incredible" ROAS completely evaporated when they turned off campaigns for one week. Why "audience expansion networks" are actually "fraudience networks" filled with bots. And how placement reports from your DSP are systematically fabricated because fraudulent sites lie about their domains in bid requests.Dr. Fou doesn't just diagnose the problem—he provides concrete, actionable solutions. Learn the one campaign setting that eliminates 90% of fraud instantly, why paying higher CPMs actually saves you money, and how to measure what actually matters: Human CPM (HCPM), not just impressions.This isn't about pointing fingers. It's about upgrading your analytics so you can finally see what's really happening with your ad spend—and take back control.Key TakeawaysThe 1% Lie: Legacy verification vendors have reported ~1% invalid traffic for 10 years straight—not because fraud is low, but because that's all they can detectThe Attribution Illusion: View-through conversions and ROAS reports massively over-attribute sales that would have happened anywayEveryone Benefits But You: Ad exchanges, agencies under budget pressure, verification vendors, and even marketers protecting their jobs all profit from the status quoFraudience Networks: Turning off audience expansion on Facebook, Google, TikTok, and other platforms immediately eliminates 90% of fraudThe CPM Trap: Lower CPMs aren't "cost efficiency"—you're just buying 10x more impressions where only 10% reach humans, making your effective Human CPM 10x higherPlacement Report Fiction: Sites lie about their domain in bid requests, so your blocklists don't work and your reports show clean inventory that doesn't existThe Turn-Off Test: Run holdout experiments—turn off campaigns in one state or for one week and measure if sales velocity actually changesTimestamps00:00 - Introduction: The Promise vs. Reality of Digital Advertising02:58 - Dr. Fou's Journey: From MIT Chemistry to Ad Fraud Research05:54 - Why Everyone Dismissed the Warnings (Including Marc)09:12 - There's No "Typical" Fraud Rate: From 1% to 100% Depending on What You Buy11:58 - The Attribution Problem: Why Your ROAS Reports Are Fiction14:56 - The Incentive Structure: Why Everyone Profits From Fraud Except Advertisers17:58 - When Does This Become a Shareholder Problem?26:59 - Red vs. Blue: Why You Must Measure Both Bots AND Humans29:27 - The CPM Misconception: Price vs. Cost Efficiency32:54 - Fraudience Networks: Turn Them Off and Save 90% Immediately36:04 - How Bots Game Retargeting and Audience Segments40:04 - Best Practices: Inclusion Lists, Direct Buying, and Turning Off Audience Networks42:15 - The Placement Report Scam: Why Your Blocklists Don't Work47:00 - The Footfall Fraud: How Ad Tech Gamed In-Store Attribution52:01 - Moving Away From Black Box Algorithms56:04 - Reframing the Conversation: From "Fraud" to "Better Analytics"Guest BioDr. Augustine Fou is a former Chief Digital Officer, independent ad fraud researcher, and creator of FouAnalytics—an analytics platform that measures both bot traffic (red) and human traffic (blue) to give advertisers unprecedented...

Join us for a compelling conversation on leading through change with Karen Stroup, Chief Digital Officer at WEX. In this episode of The Data Chief, Karen shares her insights on navigating the complexities of AI adoption. She discusses why focusing on the customer problem is more important than simply applying new technology, how to build trust by accounting for the "human side" of data, and why her team uses a "two-way door decision" to combat the rapid pace of tech change. Discover her "hot take" on the future of analytics, where dashboards become a "backdrop" and an interactive, predictive experience takes center stage.Key Moments:Navigating Ambiguity with People (06:02): Karen argues that leaders' primary role is to build confidence and help people navigate ambiguity. She explains that people fear the unknown more than change and suggests involving employees in the journey to help alleviate that fear.Trust and the Human Side of Data (14:30): She highlights that giving a correct answer is not the same as building confidence that it's the right answer. Karen discusses the importance of accounting for the "human side" of how people feel about the information they receive.Prioritizing AI use cases (22:48). Karen describes WEX's approach, which starts with a top-down cultural shift from the CEO, and then uses filters like value, feasibility, and desirability to prioritize projects.The "Two-Way Door Decision" for Technology (28:13): To combat the disconnect between rapid technology evolution and slow cultural change, Karen discusses using a "two-way door decision". This approach involves architecting solutions to be vendor-agnostic, allowing the company to pivot if a technology proves to be unsuccessful."Hot Take" on the Future of Analytics (35:34): Karen's "hot take" is that the user experience will fundamentally change. She predicts that dashboards will become a "backdrop," while an interactive, predictive experience will move to the foreground.Key Quotes:"Very few customers, whether it be a business or a consumer, say, I want an AI solution. What they're really saying is, I want the problem to be simpler." - Karen Stroup"Answering the question correctly is not the same as building confidence that it's the right answer to the question." - Karen Stroup"Being able to understand data, but in a way that resonates with them, is really important. I do think ThoughtSpot does this well in the sense that you may get one answer, and you say, 'Hey, can you explain that for me?' or 'Where does the data come from?' But that ability to 'peel the onion' is really important." - Karen StroupMentions:WEX's Health and Benefits platformAgentic AI in Financial Services: The future of autonomous finance solutionsTrillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley's Bill CampbellHow Much Data Does a Ring Security Camera Use?Guest Bio: Karen joined WEX in 2022 as Chief Digital Officer, a newly created role.

When it comes to marketing, the boldest ideas often come from imagining a future no one else can see, then making it real.That's exactly what Stanley Kubrick achieved with 2001: A Space Odyssey, a film that married meticulous research with visionary storytelling to create the most realistic depiction of space the world had ever seen. In this episode, we explore the marketing lessons behind it with special guest Josh Golden, CMO at Quad.Together, we dive into how marketers can embrace risk, iterate through failure, compete on imagination rather than resources, and create experiences—both digital and physical—that deliver the elusive “wow” factor. All while staying relevant, resonant, and ready to invent the future.About our guest, Josh GoldenAs Chief Marketing Officer at Quad, Josh Golden is architecting the evolution of Quad as a marketing experience company. He leads a highly collaborative team that works with marketers around the world to clear the path for a frictionless solution to easily communicate with their optimal audience.Quad's clients are the lifeblood of its operations, driving the company's evolution and influencing its every action. Josh is helping the company combine Quad's history as a manufacturer and commercial printer with this marketer-obsessed philosophy to best support client growth and eliminate the interference that otherwise causes them to lose time, money, and customers.Since assuming his role, Josh has defined the Quad brand narrative, developed the company's “marketing experience” framing, implemented a new Quad design system and initiated brand and product marketing campaigns for key verticals.With more than three decades of experience in marketing, branding, media, and content, Josh is one of the most prolific connectors in the marketing industry.

His passion for driving evolution was also on display as Vice President, Global Digital Marketing, at Xerox; Group Director of Digital Marketing at NBC Universal; Chief Digital Officer at Grey Group; Managing Director, Digital at Havas; and head of the first digital division at Young & Rubicam.A self-proclaimed “professional groupie,” Josh avidly follows and cheers people who pursue their passions. He likes playing a little semi-aggressive tennis and makes a killer “cheater” banana bread. He lives in Westchester, NY with his wife and two teenage children.Josh received his MBA from New York University and his B.S. in communications from Ithaca College.What B2B Companies Can Learn From 2001: A Space Odyssey:Embrace the process, not just the end product. Kubrick went through a massive number of iterations before landing on the film we know and love today. Josh says, “There is not one singular moment; it's a series of failures.” In marketing, abandoned ideas aren't wasted. They're the iterations that lead to something great. Like Kubrick, be willing to test, discard, and refine until you find the version that truly resonates. The process is the work.AI can execute, but humans inspire. Hal, the AI in 2001, could run the ship, but couldn't imagine a better way forward. Josh says, “ Humans have the capacity to do the wow factor.” AI can give you the exact steps to execute a campaign, but it can't create the unexpected spark that makes it unforgettable. Your job as a marketer is to deliver that human insight and surprise that AI can't replicate.Inspiration doesn't have to start from scratch.2001 began as a loose adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's short story The Sentinel, but evolved far beyond it. Josh reflects, “You're ultimately gonna go rewrite it in your own way.” In marketing, you can take inspiration from existing ideas, but the magic comes from reshaping them into something uniquely yours.Quote“There's moments that we all have as marketers where real ideas happen, and I celebrate those…but in truth…There is not one singular moment. It's a series of failures…That inspiration is evident in the film, and it's evident that in the actual process of trying and failing and trying and failing and trying and failing, and then getting to a point where you're like, wow, this is actually kind of okay.'”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Josh Golden, CMO at Quad[01:27] The Role of CMO at Quad[02:54] Overview of 2001: A Space Odyssey[21:45] B2B Marketing Lessons from 2001: A Space Odyssey[25:28] The AI Character and Its Implications[26:42] AI vs. Human Creativity[43:21] Final Thoughts & TakeawaysLinksConnect with Josh on LinkedInLearn more about QuadAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Amit returns to the program to share the operational playbook behind building enterprise-ready AI infrastructure. While AI headlines tend to focus on models, Amit emphasizes that success begins with what's underneath — the data. He outlines a four-part architecture that includes data aggregation, integration, transformation, and harnessing, walking listeners through how Danaher built a system that enables — not constrains — AI deployment. He also explores how tiered storage strategies address not just technical needs, but real-world challenges in compliance, cost control, and security.

Welcome to episode #997 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. What happens when nearly everything a marketer or strategist does today becomes instant, automatic… and nearly free? That's the premise of AI First, the new book from Adam Brotman (my guest this week) and his co-author Andy Sack, which confronts the existential shift that AI is bringing to brand strategy, customer experience and creative work. Adam, the former Chief Digital Officer at Starbucks and co-founder of the strategic consultancy Forum3, brings firsthand experience building digital platforms that changed how global businesses operate. In this episode, we dive into what it really means to become an "AI First” organization, not just layering on tools, but redesigning your business from the ground up. You'll hear why OpenAI's Sam Altman believes 95% of current marketing agency work will be handled by AI, and what that means for leaders, teams and the future of creative differentiation. We explore the difference between being AI-aware and AI-native, how to run internal pilots that create momentum, and what the future holds for customer loyalty and personalization in a post-human-first creative landscape. For anyone wondering what practical transformation looks like in an AI-saturated world and how to build companies that still feel human, this conversation maps the next five years and beyond.

In today's enterprise landscape, many AI initiatives stall before delivering real business value—especially in service operations, where data lives in disconnected systems and frontline speed is critical. For Amit Gupta, Chief Digital Officer, Life Sciences Manufacturing Industry, at Danaher, overcoming these challenges requires a structured, business-first approach. On this episode of the AI in Business podcast, Amit shares how Danaher uses a 70/30 buy-versus-build strategy to accelerate time to value while maintaining flexibility. He details a step-by-step framework for identifying high-impact AI use cases, involving cross-functional teams early, and guiding projects from strategic concept to measurable results—what he calls moving from “strat to street.” Want to share your AI adoption story with executive peers?

Sabine VdL talks to Lou Smith, a true trailblazer in the world of financial services and insurance. In today's episode, we'll dive into Lou's incredible journey, explore the vision behind Neuron, and discuss the key takeaways from the latest report that insurance providers need to consider.    KEY TAKEAWAYS We all have moments in life where the last thing we want to look at is out credit rating and history, but those things can affect how you access financial services in the future. Lou was part of the team that delivered the first end-to-end mortgage renewal online, started to break down investments and getting it to the hands of the many rather than the few. Everybody says insurance is behind the rest of the financial services industry, and it's a funny statement. It doesn't matter. What I'm seeing in insurance in the last 5-6 years is that this conversation has circled around about what do we do? But in the last 12-18 months I've seen a passion for how do now think about using digital, distribution models, digital, analytics and AI and thinking of all of those things together and deliver distribution models that start to move industry forward. The challenge is always in leadership, culture and change adoption. This is because it's really difficult to step into an unknown and think it's going to be better than what you're doing today. You want to power people with the data and capabilities so they can do what they're brilliant at, which is focusing on the best product and position for their client. Neuron and others enable brokers to do that. You also want to attract a new generation into the brokering sector, but rather than have them focus on the admin of that sector, they should be having great conversations with clients. All the work we're doing enables brokers to do that.   BEST MOMENTS ‘When starting my career I had a real passion for how to make the services we were offering more successful for clients and customers.'‘We care about the customer and making financial data accessible to you through the narratives we use.'‘I'd love to say this was all planned out, we didn't call it anything or know what it looked like, we just started to bring data and technologies together to build ‘workflow' and that's now become cool.'‘We want to be the easiest, most predictable and consistent broker to work with.'   ABOUT THE GUEST Louise (or Lou) Smith is a trailblazer in the financial services and insurance industries, with a career spanning leadership roles across digital transformation, data, product innovation, distribution, technology, and operations.  Her journey has been marked by groundbreaking achievements, including delivering the UK's first steps into digital distribution at Barclays, leading the digital transformation of the Royal Bank of Scotland (including NatWest) during its turnaround to profitability, and becoming the first-ever Chief Digital Officer at Lloyd's of London.  Currently, Louise is at the helm of Neuron, a transformative initiative aimed at redefining the insurance and financial services landscape. Through Neuron, she is driving innovation, collaboration, and growth, focusing on creating a more connected and customer-centric industry.
