Direct-to-consumer (DTC) is moving from an experimental monetization channel toward a more established part of game publishing, but adoption remains uneven. Host Devin Becker is joined by David Stelzer, CSO of Appcharge, to discuss findings from the company's recent report and what they reveal about the current state of DTC. They examine why more than half of studios are still making few meaningful changes, what separates the small group of innovators pulling ahead, and where developers continue to misunderstand web stores, player behavior, and the operational demands of running DTC effectively. The conversation also looks ahead to dedicated DTC teams, standardized technology stacks, broader adoption beyond games, and what winning in DTC could look like over the next three to five years.We'd like to thank Medal.tv for making this episode possible.

Johannes Galatsanos occupies an unusual dual perch in the quantum ecosystem. As a co-author of the inaugural MIT Quantum Index Report, he's helped map the entire quantum landscape at altitude; as co-founder and CEO of Diffraqtion, he's staked his career on one of its most under-discussed corners: quantum imaging. The company spun out of Saikat Guha's lab at the University of Maryland after more than a decade of DARPA-funded research, emerged from stealth in January 2026 with $4.2M in pre-seed funding, and is now racing toward on-sky telescope demonstrations and a 2028 satellite launch.This episode is for listeners who want a technically honest look at where the "quantum" label is doing real work in a sensor versus where it's shading into sophisticated photonics and analog computing. If you care about how quantum technologies actually reach the world — through markets, contracts, and hardware that ships — this conversation gives you a specific, concrete example to think with.What You'll LearnWhy a conventional camera can lose roughly 95% of the information a photon carries, and what quantum Fisher information theory says about recovering itHow Diffraqtion's device processes light directly in the photonic domain before converting it to electronic information — and why that matters for shot noiseThe honest answer to "is this really quantum?" — including where the technology sits between quantum information theory, photonics, and analog computingWhy a 6U CubeSat with a 10-centimeter aperture can plausibly compete with school-bus-sized observation satellites for specific tasksHow a "diffractive neural network" runs image classification at the speed of light with negligible power consumptionThe difference between Diffraqtion's hard-coded Gen 1 camera and the reprogrammable Gen 2 that can swap algorithms in orbit (canopy detection over the Amazon, ship detection over the Atlantic)Why the Habitable Worlds Observatory needs a coronagraph capability — and how you can build one by processing light rather than blocking itWhat quantum sensing needs from policy, capital, and PR to escape the shadow of quantum computingResources & LinksGuest & CompanyDiffraqtion — Company homepage; describes the technology, NASA/DARPA lineage, and the "quantum eye" framing referenced in the conversation.Johannes Galatsanos on LinkedIn — Recent activity including SmallSat Europe, the NASA Space to Soil Challenge, and GQIG Summit talks on quantum imaging.Papers & ReportsQuantum Index Report 2025 (arXiv) — The preprint of the MIT QIR, co-authored by Galatsanos. Essential reading for anyone trying to see the quantum landscape as a whole.MIT Sloan — New MIT Report Captures State of Quantum Computing — Background on the QIR and Galatsanos's research role at the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy.MIT Sloan — Quantum Report Charts Growing Business Interest — Further QIR findings on the growth in corporate quantum mentions.Press & CoverageDiffraqtion Pre-Seed Announcement (PR Newswire) — Official release covering the $4.2M raise, DARPA contract, and founding team.Breaking Defense — DARPA Backs Diffraqtion — The most in-depth interview on the DARPA SBIR contract and programmable light plates.The Quantum Insider — Diffraqtion $4.2M Raise — Investor context including quotes from Chad Rigetti; technical claims on resolution and processing.Payload Space — Diffraqtion Emerges from Stealth — Commercial framing around the 6U CubeSat cost model.Defense One — Quantum Cameras Could Remake Space-Based Intelligence — Policy and defense framing.SponsorCisco Universal Quantum Switch — Outshift by Cisco — Cisco's incubation engine, building a scalable quantum network on open standards and vendor-agnostic architecture.Key Quotes & InsightsOn quantum information loss: "When you do a direct image… you lose something like 95% of information from that photon. So you leave 95% on the table, and the question was: how do you extract that back?"On what "quantum" really means here: Galatsanos is refreshingly candid — the device uses quantum Fisher information theory to set the physical limit and configure the hardware, but the runtime processing is closer to analog photonic computing than to gate-based quantum computing. He describes it as sitting between "quantum 1.0" and quantum sensing.On the frog's-eye analogy: Retinal ganglion cells can process shapes and trajectories faster than the brain — which is why you can catch a baseball or a falling fork before you consciously see it. Diffraqtion is trying to give satellites and robots the same kind of reflex.On the JPEG as a historical artifact: "JPEG was a little bit of a logical step… but now the thought is, forget about it — you don't even need that. The light itself already will tell you." The machine, unlike a human operator, doesn't need an image.On why quantum sensing lags in the discourse: Insight — quantum computing benefits from a single unifying narrative that every vendor can pull on. Quantum sensing has to invent its own story from scratch for each modality, which is a structural PR disadvantage more than a technical one.Related EpisodesEp. 65 — Quantum sensitivity breakthrough with Eli Levenson-Falk — On protocols that push measurements beyond conventional limits; a natural companion to the Fisher information discussion.Ep. 16 — Operating at the Quantum Limit with Dr. Dana Anderson — Infleqtion's CSO on quantum sensing alongside computing; useful context for why sensing is closer to deployment.Ep. 68 — Incubating quantum innovation with Vijoy Pandey of Outshift by Cisco — On quantum networks solving real problems today; a parallel to Diffraqtion's near-term deployment argument.Ep. 63 — A Programming Language for Quantum Simulations with Xiaodi Wu — Also from the University of...

2024 Ravinia Festival Opening Night - Celebration of Americana by CSO Association

Matthew Bullis grew up in a mud-brick hut with no running water on a small island off South Korea, was adopted to the US at 11 speaking no English. After a dot-com near-miss, he took over his brother's struggling concrete-pumping software — down to about $20,000 a year — for 90% of the company. He taught himself to code and rebuilt it from scratch. From 2016, Bullis built RapidWorks into the operational system of record for heavy-equipment subcontractors: concrete pumping, cranes, hydrovac, and other site services. RapidWorks helps contractors book jobs, dispatch crews, manage the field, and get paid faster with accuracy and speed, taking dispatchers' productivity from 20 jobs to 60+. Today the company is near $20 million in ARR, serving more than 80% of the concrete-pumping market. In 2023, approaching $5 million in revenue, Bullis sold a majority to Wavecrest Growth Partners and brought in a new CEO Tim Curran with a new executive team. Matthew  expected to be phased out within a year. Instead, by staying flexible and solving whatever broke, he became indispensable as chief strategy officer, taking on important strategic execution roles across the company where he was needed. Key Takeaways Solve any problem — A bootstrapper's real value is surviving anything and solving whatever breaks. Stay flexible — Don't trade on past wins; credibility comes from the value you create now. Sit with customers — Weeks in their offices surfaced problems they never thought to ask for. Hire your boss — A ready-made CEO and team de-risk the scale a founder can't reach alone. Keep perspective — Nothing is as good or as bad as it feels in the moment. Quote from Matthew Bullis, Co-Founder and CSO of RapidWorks "To stay useful and relevant when you're not the CEO any more, you have to be flexible. People overemphasize the value of what they've done in the past: look at all the great things I did. But that's like living in your high school glory days. It doesn't merit much, and you can't expect people to give you credibility just for what you built. "Your real value is surviving anything and solving any problems. Take that to heart — I can survive anything, I can solve any problem, I can create value for myself and the people around me. Under any difficult situation, people are drawn to people of value. "So I stopped staying quiet. When I saw things weren't done right, I spoke up, and the seasoned leadership saw my opinions had value. When people see value in you, and you really help, they want you on their team — that's how I won the other executives over."

Today, amid cost inflation, geopolitical conflict, and an ever-changing global business landscape we are staring down a massive shift in corporate sustainability and it's starting to prompt some pretty big questions.  Does navigating the triple threat of media, politics, and boardroom backlash mean we need to change the playbook? In this episode Lou is joined by Mark Lancelot from Better Business Design. Together, they unpack how the traditional role of the Chief Sustainability Officer is changing to survive, and how we might reshape the narrative around sustainability and circular economy goals to land positively in our global boardrooms.

Let us know how we're doing - text us feedback or thoughts on episode contentMost companies think of AI's carbon footprint as a data center problem. But the infrastructure powering your AI queries is rapidly diversifying — and each deployment model carries a very different sustainability profile. In this episode, Paul breaks down five emerging AI infrastructure options and what they mean for corporate emissions accounting.Paul makes the case that as AI deployment shifts away from traditional cloud infrastructure, the CSO has to be at the table with the CIO and CFO. The deployment decision is one of the most consequential choices a company can make for its GHG profile — and right now, most organizations are making it blind to the emissions implications.Follow Paul on LinkedIn.

Carmina burana by CSO Association

This week's Department of Know is hosted by Rich Stroffolino, with guests Arif Hameed, CISO, C&R Software; Adam Palmer, CISO, First Hawaiian Bank; Jon Collins, Field CTO, GigaOm; and Jack Leidecker, EVP, CSO, Gainsight. Huge thanks to our sponsor, ThreatLocker Every security leader is being asked the same question right now: How do we enable innovation without creating unnecessary risk?   That's the challenge behind cloud adoption. Behind AI. Behind automation. And behind every major technology decision.   ThreatLocker helps organizations take a Zero Trust approach to that challenge—giving them greater control over what can execute, what can access their environment, and what users and applications are allowed to do.   That's why ThreatLocker is proud to support Cyber Security Headlines. Because security works best when innovation and control move together.

Three years ago, one of the world's largest banks, Switzerland-based UBS, completed the acquisition of another major global bank, Credit Suisse.   In today's episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're talking to UBS Chief Sustainability Officer and Group Historian Christian Leitz. He tells us how the combined bank is embedding sustainability into its operations, culture and strategy. Christian also explains how he brings his background as a historian to the CSO role — ensuring that clients, shareholders and employees understand the long-term context for current geopolitical volatility. "I don't want to distract from the fact that there is this noise, but I also want to do a bit of a reality check," Christian says. "There are enormously positive movements that we've seen" when it comes to the transition to a low-carbon economy.  Christian also shares his takeaways from the inaugural Climate Week Zurich in May 2026, and what to expect at London Climate Action Week, which kicks off June 20 and includes a focus on climate adaptation alongside continued mitigation.  "We need to do both, and we need to do both well," Christian says.  This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we talk to Chief Sustainability Officers around the world and across industries.

This week on Feds At The Edge, we dive into the importance of flexible infrastructure, realistic budgets, and thoughtful planning to successfully adapt to continuously evolving AI models. Sumit Puri, CSO and Co-Founder of Liqid, shares that while 86% of data resides on-premises, leaders also need to understand how the other 14% is being managed. He breaks down the key security, privacy, compliance, and performance considerations organizations should keep in mind.

Pre-Order The Chief Storytelling Officer HERE: https://amzn.to/4eihvql"Commercials interrupt people. Shows invite them into the story world. That is the difference between traditional marketing and storytelling." — Rain BennettYour marketing campaign strategy is perfectly executed... and it still flops. The visuals are crisp, the copy is tight, and nobody cares. In this solo episode, Rain breaks down the real reason most marketing fails: it isn't a production problem, it's a storytelling problem. When your marketing isn't rooted in a clear brand purpose, it becomes what Rain calls "story yelling," which is loud, scattered, and ultimately forgettable. This is the fifth installment of the Narrative Operating System series, and it's where brand building and marketing strategy finally collide.Rain walks through how the Chief Storytelling Officer fits into your marketing function. Not to replace your CMO, but to ensure every campaign, every message, and every piece of content traces back to the brand narrative your company intentionally chose. The CSO's job isn't to ask "does this say what we want to say?" It's to ask "does this make people feel what we want them to feel?" That distinction is the entire difference between brand storytelling and traditional advertising.Using Yeti, Cali BBQ, and the Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation as case studies, Rain shows how the most effective marketing strategies aren't campaigns at all—they're story worlds. He introduces the Content Cascade model as a practical framework for building tent pole projects, supporting stories, and audience amplifiers from a single unified brand messaging strategy. And before you go, he breaks down which metrics actually reflect meaningful connection (watch time, saves, comments, shares) and which vanity metrics to stop reporting on entirely. If your brand purpose is clear but your marketing still feels scattered, this episode is your blueprint. In this episode, you will learn to:Understand the difference between story yelling and storytelling—and which one your brand is currently doingUse the Content Cascade model to build tent pole projects, supporting stories, and audience amplifiers from a single narrativeReplace vanity metrics with story metrics that actually measure connection and community growthAvoid the traps of trend chasing, channel hopping, and virality chasing that derail most marketing strategiesAudit your last 10 pieces of marketing to see if they stem from one unified brand narrative or exist as isolated piecesLINKS AND RESOURCESEpisodes Referenced:EP 225 → Brand: How It Feels to Be Part of Your Story WorldEP 230 → Product: Where Your Story Gets ProvenGuest Referenced → Sean Walcheff, Cali Barbecue Media → https://www.calibbq.mediaOrganization Referenced → Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation → https://www.ncf.net/Book → The Chief Storytelling Officer by Rain Bennett → Coming August 25th https://amzn.to/4eihvqlFor more storytelling tips and strategies, visitWebsite → https://rainbennett.comPodcast → https://thestorytellinglabpodcast.comOr follow along at:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstorytellingofficerTwitter/X → https://twitter.com/rainbennettInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rainbennettFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/thestorytellinglabYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@RainBennett Hosted on Acast.

That's according to new figures released by the CSO this morning, our work and technology Correspondent Brian O'Donovan.

In this special Founder Initiative pitch episode, four cybersecurity founders pitch their startups live to Robert Lowry, CSO of Tonic AI and former security leader at organizations including NASDAQ and the Federal Reserve Bank. Robert Lowry- https://www.linkedin.com/in/lowryrobert/ The conversation covers some of the biggest emerging enterprise security challenges around AI agents, shadow AI, runtime protection, memory systems, cybersecurity data infrastructure, and modern SOC operations. Featuring: * IceGuard — next-generation AI-native cybersecurity data infrastructure - Anders Holden, https://www.linkedin.com/in/andersbholden/ * Optimus Labs — agent defense and AI runtime governance - Nipun Gupta - https://www.linkedin.com/in/guptanipun/ * KeyCaliber — AI usage visibility and cybersecurity asset intelligence - Roselle Safran - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosellesafran/ * Dyng/Pilot AI — AI memory and contextual learning systems - Ricardo La Rosa - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricardo-larosa/ Instead of polished demos and sales decks, this episode captures real buyer reactions, live feedback, objections, and the kinds of questions enterprise security leaders actually ask before considering a product. If you're building for CISOs, enterprise security teams, or AI infrastructure buyers, this episode gives a rare inside look at how technical buyers evaluate early-stage startups in real time.

The data says we're making real progress on climate. So why does the conversation still feel like we're losing, and what does it mean to finally separate the signal from the noise? Joe Speicher didn't arrive at Autodesk's Chief Sustainability Officer role through a conventional channel. Deutsche Bank, the Peace Corps in the Philippines, impact investing — each stop informed how he thinks about deploying capital and measuring what actually changes. That background matters now more than ever, because the sustainability conversation, he argues, has too often been happening at the wrong altitude. Organizations set targets, publish disclosures, and track compliance. Meanwhile, the real decisions — how a building gets designed, which materials get specified, how early-stage procurement choices lock in carbon for decades — happen elsewhere, mostly without sustainability in the room. Autodesk's software sits upstream in that process, shaping choices before ground is ever broken in industries responsible for roughly 40% of global emissions. "Sustainability cannot be a sidecar," Speicher says. It has to be embedded in the tools people use every day, making it everyone's job rather than one team's report. He also makes the case for reading the data honestly: 40% of global electricity now comes from renewables and nuclear, 43 countries have peak emissions behind them, and $2.3 trillion was invested in the energy transition in 2025. Are you building your strategy around the signals — or the noise?Joe Speicher is Chief Sustainability Officer at Autodesk, where he leads global ESG strategy and works to embed carbon intelligence across the tools used by architects, engineers, contractors, and asset operators — industries collectively responsible for roughly 40% of global emissions. His path to the role was anything but direct: he began his career in finance at Deutsche Bank, served in the Peace Corps in the Philippines, and spent years working at the intersection of impact investing and corporate philanthropy before becoming Autodesk's CSO. That cross-sector background — finance, development, technology — shapes how he approaches sustainability as a strategic business function rather than a compliance obligation, focused on translating climate risk into decisions that drive measurable resilience and performance. In This Episode:  (00:00) Joe Speicher's unconventional path to climate leadership (03:26) From Deutsche Bank and Peace Corps to leading Autodesk's sustainability strategy (06:41) Why a finance and development background sharpens climate decision-making (09:20) Reading the real signals: global emissions progress and the economics driving change (12:05) Moving from commitments to action: embedding carbon intelligence into daily workflows (14:11) Climate adaptation, wildfire recovery, and the CSO as strategic operator Share with someone who would enjoy this topic, like and subscribe to hear all of our future episodes, send us your comments and guest suggestions!

It's not about you. Literally, prospecting is not about you. Prospecting is about your prospect, not you. So ..... STOP TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR AGENCY AND YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR HISTORY AND ... Do you understand? Your prospects don't care about you. They don't care about you --- yet! They will later, just not now. While prospecting, you're a stranger and people don't want to meet with strangers to learn about the stranger's agency or about other strangers who work at a stranger's agency. Get it? You see, you need to focus on your prospect. It's about them. It's about the Prospect. It's about their problems and their struggles and their worries and their costs and what keeps them up at night.  Prospecting is about winning your prospect's undivided attention (a.k.a. their "Permission"). In this episode, host Charles Specht explains how to prospect using "Permission Prospecting" so that your prospect agrees to meet with you and then will give you everything you want and need so that you can get what you want. It's all about permission! Visit our website at: www.permissionsales.com  Follow Charles Specht on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesspecht  Key Topics: Prospecting is not about you, it's about solving your prospect's problems The permission-based approach to prospecting and why it changes everything Matching your outreach method to how your prospect actually wants to be reached Why one-trick-pony prospecting leaves commissions on the table Building at least three prospecting channels to maximize appointment-setting success The danger of agents who talk about themselves instead of buyer solutions How to identify your prospect's pain, amplify it, and position your solution Why most agency leaders train producers on coverage, not how to sell or get permission The five-part Permission Sales Framework and where to access it Charles's fractional CSO and one-on-one coaching services for producers and agencies Reach out to  Charles Specht Visit: Permission Network Produced by PodSquad.fm

Gus Bartholomew, co-founder of Leafr, joins Jennifer and Kati to talk about one of the most persistent challenges in corporate sustainability: the expertise gap.With most large companies relying on just one to three people to deliver on increasingly complex mandates, sustainability teams are stretched impossibly thin.

Mäkelä Conducts Mahler 3 by CSO Association

Del Potter, PhD is an ethnopsychopharmacologist, chemist, and psychedelic pioneer whose career has moved across some of the most consequential and unconventional edges of the field, from Mesoamerican field research and underground manufacturing to cutting-edge pharmaceutical development and clinical trials. He brings a rare perspective to the psychedelic renaissance: not as a commentator, but as someone who was inside the apparatus that produced these compounds long before the current wave had a name. Dr. Potter holds a PhD from a joint program between the UCSF Medical School and UC Berkeley's Department of Anthropology, specializing in psychiatric anthropology, ethnopsychopharmacology, and neuropharmacology, with additional clinical training at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute. His postdoctoral fieldwork examined shamanic traditions and indigenous psychotherapeutic practice across multiple lineages, including ceremonial psilocybin and Salvia divinorum use among the Mazatec of central Mexico, ayahuasca and yagé ritual among the Shuar of Ecuador, and parallel traditions among the Yanomami of Brazil and the Cofán of Colombia, contributing to Richard Evans Schultes' comprehensive survey of psychotropic botanicals worldwide. A formative mentorship with Alexander Shulgin oriented his chemistry toward novel tryptamine compounds, particularly in the DMT and 5-MeO-DMT structural classes, and he has since developed a portfolio of compounds that retain the neuroplasticity associated with psychedelic receptor activity while producing no psychedelic effect. On the pharmaceutical and biotech side, Dr. Potter served as Chief Science Officer at Leef Holdings, designing what became California's largest fully automated medical cannabis manufacturing facility, and later directed first-in-human 5-MeO-DMT clinical trials at UCSF through his work with Alvarius Pharmaceuticals, followed by a Phase 1 trial at Trinity College Dublin. At University College Dublin, he developed and validated the use of human stem cell-derived brain organoids to assess how psychedelic compounds reverse epigenetic changes caused by substance abuse. In 2023 he founded Spiritus Bioscience to develop novel delivery formats for psilocin, DMT, and 5-MeO-DMT, with the first product entering clinical trials in Australia targeting Alcohol Use Disorder. He currently serves as founder and CSO of BioUnbound Inc., exploring the intersection of psychedelics and bioactive peptides for mental health and longevity applications. Dr. Potter is currently completing his memoir, whose working title is Was a Different Time: Chronicles of a Psychedelic Pioneer in the Reign of the Cartels.Episode Highlights ▶ Del's background supplying California cannabis genetics to the Guadalajara cartel and working at Rancho Bufalo  ▶ Meeting cartel figures Miguel Felix Gallardo and Rafael Caro Quintero, and the fallout from the Kiki Camarena murder  ▶ Manufacturing LSD in Marin County using precursor chemicals sourced through cartel connections  ▶ How a DEA sting led to a federal task force, a stunning offer, and a get-out-of-jail-free card  ▶ Mentorship under Alexander Shulgin and the countercultural milieu of Esalen, Claudio Naranjo, Allen Ginsberg, and Terence McKenna  ▶ Why psychedelics have no intrinsic politics: the compound is the same, the container decides everything  ▶ The retreat economy as product development: when one medicine stops differentiating, operators start stacking  ▶ How the clinical and pharmaceutical models convert ceremony into a billable procedure  ▶ The psychoplastogen pipeline: engineering the experience out so the worker is back at their desk by Wednesday  ▶ Indigenous cosmological governance as a technical achievement, not a romanticized ideal  ▶ The concept of restraint and reciprocity as regulatory systems, and what Western culture has lost  ▶ Why patenting psilocybin protocols and dosing postures is a winnable legal argument  ▶ Publicly funded, community-governed clinics as the only container that can hold what these compounds require  ▶ The mental health crisis as inseparable from the housing, wage, care, and climate crises  ▶ Building a parallel infrastructure: cooperatives, commons defense, and indigenous benefit sharing as models    Dr. Del Potter's Links & Resources ▶ https://delpotterphd.substack.com ▶ https://www.facebook.com/del.potter.75 ▶ @drdelpotter.bsky.social ▶ www.biounbound.com ▶ https://www.instagram.com/potter_del/ Download Beth's free trainings here:  Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business:  https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-business Integrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business ▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching  ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services ▶ Instagram:  @bethaweinstein  ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz  Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz
