(14) Mary Kissel critiques U.S.-China relations, arguing that Beijing is a totalitarian enemy. She advocates for strategic decoupling and realistic planning, rather than hoping for fair trade or stability from the current Chinese regime.NETHERLANDS
Markets continue to push higher, but underneath the surface, warning signs are beginning to build. Bullish sentiment and equity exposure among investment managers are near record highs, while market leadership continues to narrow into a smaller group of large-cap stocks. In today's pre-market update, we examine the growing divergence between the S&P 500 and equal-weighted indexes, the sharp underperformance developing in small-caps, emerging markets, and international equities, and why the strengthening U.S. Dollar is pulling capital back into domestic markets. We also discuss how concentrated leadership often precedes broader market weakness, why summer correction risks are increasing, and the portfolio adjustments we are making as market signals begin to deteriorate beneath the surface. Markets may appear stable on the surface, but the internal decoupling between sectors, styles, and global markets is becoming harder to ignore.

From shadowboxing aerospace tool kits with a CO2 laser to running thousands of work orders annually across machining, sheet metal, and waterjet operations, Low Country Aerospace has grown by embracing systems, trust, and relentless customer focus. In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, Paul Van Metre sits down with founder Barry Russell to unpack the unconventional path that transformed a small support-services company into a fast-growing aerospace manufacturing operation. Barry shares how saying "yes" to customer needs opened entirely new business opportunities, even when he had little idea how to execute them at first. From buying his first laser and imaging machine to eventually investing in CNC machining centers and waterjets, the company's growth was fueled by relationships, adaptability, and a willingness to figure things out along the way. But as the business scaled, Barry learned that growth without systems can quickly become chaos. One of the most powerful themes in this conversation is leadership transformation. Barry opens up about the difficult process of letting go, trusting his leadership team, and shifting from working in the business to working on it. With guidance from a mentor, he learned to think more strategically, build incremental growth plans, and empower his team with autonomy instead of micromanagement. That mindset shift helped position the company to handle explosive growth while maintaining strong delivery performance and company culture. The episode also dives deep into operational realities that many shops face today: cash flow struggles, scaling labor, balancing overtime with flexibility, implementing second shifts, and managing staggering work order volume without sacrificing quality or delivery. Barry's transparency about near-insolvency during COVID, finding financial solutions through factoring, and navigating growth responsibly offers valuable lessons for shop owners at every stage. Whether you're running a small shop trying to land your next big customer or managing a growing operation struggling to scale sustainably, this episode delivers practical wisdom on leadership, systems, trust, and long-term growth strategy from someone living it every day.

Dell's CTO built a 4-category agent framework from real production deployments. Most enterprises are ignoring two of the categories that matter most.Full Show NotesEnterprise leaders are mapping AI agents to org charts — building digital employees, agentic teams, AI workers — and then wondering why the results fall short. Dell's Global CTO John Roese has been running agents in production long enough to know exactly why that framing fails, and what to do instead.In this episode, Roese shares a framework Dell developed from actual production deployments, not pilots. It identifies four categories of AI agents defined by two dimensions: how much autonomy you grant the agent, and how complex the underlying process is. Most enterprises are focused on one category. Two of the four are widely overlooked — and they may represent the fastest path to measurable ROI.This is a practical, grounded conversation about where agents are actually delivering value today, how to think about infrastructure cost in the context of agent economics, and why the sequence in which you deploy agents matters as much as which agents you build. If your organization is trying to move from AI experimentation to production, this episode is required listening.3.

Every manufacturer knows how quickly things can go sideways. A delayed shipment here, equipment trouble there, and suddenly your whole operation falls behind. Decoupling inventory takes a different approach. By placing buffer stock at key production points, manufacturers can absorb these shocks without losing their delivery commitments to meet demand.

In this episode, host Amey Ambade sits with Eric Tschetter, co-founder of Apache Druid and Chief Architect at Imply, to dissect the critical move toward Decoupling Observability. To begin, they define three pillars—logs, metrics, and traces—and consider why the rise of microservices has made traditional, tightly coupled stacks a major source of pain. Such coupled systems can lead to issues such as vendor lock-in, prohibitive scaling costs, and operational complexity. Drawing parallels to the Business Intelligence world's separation, Tschetter presents an architectural solution with four distinct layers: Ingest/Route, Data Storage, Query/Compute, and Visualization. This framework aims to provide flexibility to combat the limitations of monolithic observability tools. The conversation moves into the practical challenges and significant benefits of this decoupled model, focusing heavily on data portability and the role of technologies such as OpenTelemetry in standardizing schemas so that data can flow freely between multiple back-ends. A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to the Query/Compute layer, specifically how Apache Druid addresses the unique demands of real-time analytics on observability data, including indexing strategies and unifying results across hot and cold storage. They also delve into operational survival, covering critical topics like smart sampling to preserve high-value signals, best practices for buffering and backpressure, and the governance models required for multiple teams to safely access the same data lake. The episode concludes with an honest look at the complexity trade-offs and a roadmap for organizations considering a migration from a coupled vendor stack.
On today's show Andrew and Bill return to discuss the PRC's posture amidst the ongoing war in Iran. Topics include: Xi's call to re-open the Strait of Hormuz, an interdicted Iranian ship that may have been carrying missile precursors from China, Trump's posture toward China three weeks before his summit in Beijing, and deals between the US and Indonesia and the US and the Philippines. Then: The SAMR fines several e-commerce giants over food safety concerns in the “ghost delivery” sector, plus thoughts on the ongoing struggle to combat involution. From there: New regulations in Beijing to crack down on foreign companies attempting to diversify supply chains, the USTR's Jamieson Greer comments on US partners and a new rare earth strategy, and notes on tensions between the PRC and Japan. At the end: The MATCH Act in Congress and the continued scrutiny over semiconductor manufacturing equipment, an updated timeline for DeepSeek's new model, and a Mandelson mess continues to unspool in the U.K.
Continuing our discourse, Germanicus notes a profound shift: the citizen-militia that once defended the republic has been replaced by a professional force, decoupling the public from the costs of war. Modern "ceremonial war" relies on missiles or foreign proxies like Ukraine to do the dying, yet fails to reach strategic conclusions. The coming midterm elections represent a "body blow" that could see the opposition seize control of the House, while the potential rise of "Democratic Socialists" — compared to the Bolshevik revolution — threatens identity politics and wealth confiscation that would lead to a "time of troubles." We conclude that both parties are essentially eating from the same soup bowl while the empire erodes. (2)1572 AFTER THE FALL OF CONSTANTIOPLE.

Host Steve Yates welcomes back Andrew Phelan, Australian med-tech entrepreneur, former DFAT Australia-China Council scholar, and longtime China Desk guest (episodes #72 & #85). They explore grassroots concerns in rural Australia: PRC-linked entities acquiring prime farmland and mineral sands through opaque offshore structures. State governments are forcing wind and solar farms on farmers under the net zero agenda—often with little transparency or consultation. Farmers face contempt from policymakers, increased bushfire risks from turbines, and generational land loss. The discussion draws parallels to U.S. rural and agricultural issues, examines supply chain vulnerabilities (rare earths and critical minerals), and highlights Germany's shift from engagement to harsh reality (auto sales collapse, tech theft examples). Andrew stresses the need for “Team Freedom” alignment—US, Australia, Canada, UK, Japan—decoupling where necessary, and strong leadership like Trump's industrial rebuilding and Japan's Takahashi era. He previews his upcoming platform TheChinaChallenge.com (launching soon) as a one-stop hub to counter CCP narratives and amplify freedom voices.

The world is entering a phase where crises no longer unfold in isolation — wars, supply chains, energy chokepoints, sanctions, and strategic rivalries are now tightly connected inside a rapidly accelerating global power transition.In this wide-ranging conversation, Velina Tchakarova joins Bharatvaarta to explain why we are now living through what she calls Cold War 2.0 — a far more complex confrontation than the first Cold War, shaped not just by military blocs but by technology, finance, energy systems, and strategic interdependence.  We unpack why the United States–China rivalry now defines the international system, how the war involving Iran fits into a larger strategic framework, and why chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz can trigger global economic consequences far beyond the region. The conversation moves through proxy wars, the future of Ukraine, the long-term ambitions of Russia, the erosion of Europe's security architecture, and why global shocks now spread faster than political systems can respond.  It ends with India's unique strategic position: not fully inside any bloc, yet central to all of them. Velina explains why India may be the only true bridge power in an increasingly divided world — and why that role comes with enormous responsibility.

FIPS is an open source mesh networking project that enables devices to connect directly to each other without relying on any central servers or infrastructure. Today's internet depends on companies and governments that can monitor, censor, or shut down communication at will. FIPS solves this by giving every node a cryptographic identity and encrypting all traffic automatically, so no one in the middle can see or block what you're doing. Nodes discover each other and route messages through the mesh on their own, and regular apps like browsers and SSH clients work on top of it without any special setup.Arjen on Nostr: https://primal.net/p/npub1hw6amg8p24ne08c9gdq8hhpqx0t0pwanpae9z25crn7m9uy7yarse465grJonathan on Nostr: https://primal.net/p/npub19wavu4f7l6l43h24jyskn7fvzy37kcfp67aqjtmv2qgy4lp34nhsda8p6k FIPS Repo: https://gitworkshop.dev/npub1y0gja7r4re0wyelmvdqa03qmjs62rwvcd8szzt4nf4t2hd43969qj000ly/relay.ngit.dev/fips Tollgate: https://tollgate.meSovereign Engineering: https://sovereignengineering.io/ EPISODE: 193BLOCK: 939631PRICE: 1465 sats per dollar(02:03) Introducing FIPS and the goal of a middleman free internet(04:16) Why static IPs fail for hosting and how FIPS reframes identity(05:51) Decoupling transport and routing: protocol-agnostic design(06:50) Peer discovery across Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and local broadcast(07:43) Future global routing ideas and decentralized discovery(09:05) Local mesh handshakes, Noise encryption, and Bloom filters(11:02) Community meshes, resilience, and mixed transports(11:42) Starlink and bridging meshes over the wider internet(13:21) Use case: protest resilience and reconnecting to the world(14:08) Origins: conferences, Sovereign Engineering, and NoDNS(16:04) From NoDNS to FIPS: faster updates, remaining gaps(17:10) Economics: sats for peering and incentive-aware routing(18:00) Abuse, DDoS surfaces, and defenses via npubs and rate limits(19:45) Learning from mesh hype cycles and bootstrapping adoption(22:32) Lowering app friction: make existing apps work over FIPS(25:12) DNS trick: IPv6 mapping and transparent transport(27:08) Backwards compatibility as a must-have for scale(28:08) Rethinking data flow with Nostr streams and local hosting(30:12) Offline-to-online spectrum and graceful reconciliation(31:10) Status update: early servers, testers, and bandwidth limits(32:20) Physical constraints: MTU, Bluetooth, LoRa(36:00) Reality checks: pitfalls, past meshes, and expectations(38:12) New primitives: Nostr, Blossom, eCash; Jonathan's role(40:37) Identity concerns, key rotation, and operational practices(46:10) Hosting sensitive services: hot keys(48:09) Self-hosting privately, Tor comparisons, and latency(49:37) Observation, Tollgate incentives, and community privacy(50:40) Tollgate legal concerns and community norms(53:21) Call to action, testing FIPS, and packaging plans(55:10) Closing thoughtsmore info on the show: https://citadeldispatch.comlearn more about me: https://odell.xyz
Tax-filing season is well underway, and yet many states are still figuring out whether to conform to or decouple from provisions in last year's GOP-led tax overhaul, especially the deductions and other breaks for corporate taxpayers. The upshot is one of the more complicated filing periods in recent years. Corporate taxpayers are watching which states reject federal tax policy changes, such as those related to immediate expensing for research and development or property investments. Just in the past week, lawmakers in Republican-controlled states like Florida and Democrat-led states like Oregon moved ahead in decoupling from some of those corporate tax provisions to preserve billions of dollars in state revenue. Then there's the unique situation in Washington, DC, where a local law severing the city's tax code from more than a dozen provisions in the 2025 federal tax rewrite was met with Congress's formal disapproval. That set off a dispute between Capitol Hill and city leaders over whether the district's decoupling measure is in effect. (DC officials say it is.) Most of all, corporate taxpayers are looking for clarity from the states as they plan their filings, Scott Roberti, a managing director focusing on state and local tax in EY's national tax practice, says on this week's episode of Talking Tax. Roberti tells Bloomberg Tax editor Benjamin Freed that so far, at least 17 states have issued some sort of guidance on the conformity issue. Roberti hopes the remainder finish up soon in time for the end of filing season and quarter-end accounting. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

Reclaiming Purpose in the "New World Normal" This episode exposes the generational trauma and rigid "normality" cages holding you back...
Hey friend, let me catch you up I recorded this episode under a new-moon solar eclipse with my cows and donkeys chiming in. The cosmos felt like the perfect backdrop to share why I'm choosing stillness over hustle right now—and what that means for the podcast, my business, and you. Why I'm pressing pause (and how long) I'm giving the show a four-to-six-week breather. No, I'm not disappearing; I'm creating space to integrate some powerful shamanic work, deepen my spiritual studies, and refine how I serve. During the pause you'll still see quick reflections on YouTube and some throwback gems on socials. Simplifying for precision Over the last 18 months I kept hearing the same internal nudge: simplify. So I've trimmed extra masterclasses, sunset a few programs, and narrowed my offer suite. The result? More impact for you, more creative bandwidth for me. Decoupling money from success The moment I declared that my worth isn't tied to revenue, the universe hit me—hard. Each test of CHOICE reminded me that alignment is the real metric of success. If you've felt that tug too, you'll resonate with this part of the conversation. Intuition > intellect I share a few stories where decisions made with my gut flowed effortlessly, and others—over-engineered by my head—fell flat. The lesson? Stillness amplifies intuition, and intuition rarely leads us wrong. Living (and teaching) minimalist impact My goal is a business that thrives on about 20 focused hours a week so I can prioritize mentorship, creativity, and life on the farm. I invite you to ask: Where could a deliberate pause create momentum in your life? Want to go deeper with me (or Tina)? 1:1 Hypnosis & Identity Work – Wait-list now open; deposit secures your spot.

What is mindfulness really? According to one fourth-grader, "Not hitting someone in the mouth." Legendary meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg joins Rick and Forrest to discuss how we can work skillfully with anger, fear, and reactivity without becoming doormats or numbing ourselves out through the lens of her new children's book Kind Karl. They explore the protective function of anger, and how we can create more space by relating differently to our thoughts, emotions, and sense of self. Sharon shares a Buddhist lens that links anger and fear, and how looking closely at “what's in the anger” can help us get clarity without collateral damage. Along the way, they talk about the difference between healthy moral anger and the habit of anger, how to extract the positive energy from difficult emotions without getting burned, and how lovingkindness and self-compassion can be active, strengthening forces. About our Guest: Sharon Salzberg is the co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society, a world-renowned teacher of mindfulness, and author or co-author of 14 books including her seminal work Lovingkindness and her first children's book Kind Karl: A Little Crocodile with Big Feelings.

In this episode, host Steve Yates is joined by Leland Miller, co-founder of China Beige Book and U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission member, for a clear-eyed assessment of China's economy heading into 2026.Miller breaks down what analysts got wrong about China in 2025, why GDP figures and stimulus narratives are misleading, and how Xi Jinping is prioritizing advanced manufacturing and national security over household consumption. The conversation examines why a true shift to a consumer-driven Chinese economy is unlikely, how high U.S.–China tariffs have become sustainable rather than destabilizing, and why the real battleground has moved from trade wars to supply chain warfare.Key topics include supply-chain weaponization, rare earths and pharmaceuticals, tariffs versus effective tariff rates, transshipment, robotics and demographics, and the strategic risks facing the U.S. and its allies as globalization gives way to a fragmented, security-driven economic order.

Maya Middlemiss is Founder of Remote Work Europe, a Remote Work Strategist, and author of 'Remote Readiness for Jobseekers'. With over two decades of remote work experience, Maya reflects on developing and scaling fully remote teams long before pandemic-related "forced remote" distorted perceptions of flexible work. She highlights the mindsets, autonomy, self-discipline, and trust required for sustainable remote models, along with practical hiring indicators for remote readiness. Maya describes collaboration infrastructure, leadership evolution, and how companies and workers can intentionally position themselves for the future of distributed work. KEY TAKEAWAYS [01:12] Maya works abroad before studying psychology to better understand herself and others. [03:24] An offer to supply research via the internet launches Maya's early remote work. [04:17] Early remote work requires experimental setups with basic technology at home. [05:40] Maya hires independent, self-directed people suited to technical and remote autonomy. [07:33] Entrepreneurship, novel writing, and marathon training clues signal remote readiness. [11:17] Technologies enabling remote work are solved pre-pandemic while versioning issues remain. [12:45] Distributed collaboration needs shared repositories and synchronous communication. [13:42] Video meetings are now basic expectations using seamlessly integrated tools. [15:46] COVID forces remote adoption without change management. [16:40] Pandemic burnout experiences from surveillance management and excessive Zoom calls. [17:44] Despite challenges, people recognise the long-term potential of working remotely. [18:18] Pause and reflection causes workers to seek guidance to work remotely permanently. [19:20] Lifestyle redesign becomes central as people relocate and reassess commuting. [20:23] Return-to-office pressure generates panic for those who had restructured their lives. [21:24] Remote Work Spain and Europe emerges to systematize advice for job seekers. [23:15] Media narratives about productivity often mask commercial real estate interests. [23:50] Personal preference strongly aligns with productivity in distributed settings. [25:09] Remote work increases self-awareness about lifestyle and motivation. [26:21] Decoupling work from location unlocks global life design possibilities. [28:08] Geoarbitrage enables cost-of-living flexibility and portfolio career strategies. [30:16] Distributed teams need intentional leadership to replace passive office-based osmosis. [34:28] Remote work's five C's: Console, Culture, Communication, Connection, and Collaboration. [35:42] Technical self-sufficiency and redundancy are essential remote competencies. [37:45] Everyone needs to contribute with new broader spectrums of knowledge and expertise. [38:41] New remote hires should actively observe onboarding to recognise cadence, styles etc. [42:19] Managers can learn from new remote recruits' views to improve distributed systems. [44:22] AI is embedded everywhere, requiring critical use and human differentiation. [46:25] Job seekers must show AI literacy without communication sounding machine-generated. [47:33] Authenticity and visible individuality help candidates stand out remotely. [48:46] Cultural fit should add diversity and evolution rather than sameness. [50:32] Remote work is harder to secure but delivers significant life rewards. IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Remote work is different to previous traditional working norms making it harder to find a remote job or managing a distributed team. However, the rewards are significant and worth the additional effort. RESOURCES Maya Middlemiss on LinkedIn Remote Resilience Hub Remote Work Europe 'Remote Readiness for Jobseekers' Maya's new book QUOTES "The people who've mastered that intentionality of leading distributed teams actually really celebrate what new people could bring." "To figure out how to lead your team properly in a distributed way, you'll get so much more from them and you'll get so much more from your own life as a leader, as a manager." "Remote work is here. It has been here for a long time." "The sheer spectrum of knowledge and expertise is much broader and so everybody can't know everything…We are so much more atomised now. We need to try to be good synthesists and have a good overview." "Try to find the best job for you in the whole world where you will have the greatest satisfaction and experience and productivity and flow. Of course, that's going to be harder, but just consider the rewards that that can bring and it's worth doing the work. "
I almost filmed this video using an AI digital twin.It was efficient. Scalable. Technically impressive.But in a world where trust is at an all-time low—and real human connection has quietly disappeared—I realized something uncomfortable:Authenticity is now the only currency that matters.In this video, I explain why I deleted my AI clone and introduce the newly updated 2026 edition of The Chinese Honeymoon Period.When the original book was written, the world still believed in engagement, exchange, and cautious optimism.That world is gone.The U.S. and China have shifted from frenemies to perceived existential threats.“Decoupling” has metastasized into reality.An AI arms race is accelerating distrust while hollowing out human-to-human understanding.This video reflects on what all of that means—for professionals, parents, students, and anyone living between cultures.In this update, I explore:• Why I chose “real” over “perfect” for this channel—and what AI gets wrong about trust• The 2026 reality of US–China relations after the honeymoon is long dead• Why language fluency alone no longer works without cultural intelligence and empathy• New reflections shaped by leaving China and raising a next-generation American-Born Chinese (ABC)If the original book was about recognizing when the honeymoon ends, this edition asks a harder question:What happens after we wake up?If you work, live, study, or raise children across cultures—and feel the growing tension but still believe understanding matters—My latest book, Speak Less, Guanxi More takes your awareness into practice—where outcomes are actually shaped.Learn when not to speak, how to read what's happening beneath the surface, and why fewer assumptions lead to far better results.https://genejhsu.com/#USChinaRelations #CulturalIntelligence #MandarinChinese #Chineseculture #Chinabusiness

GEOENGINEERING, ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION, AND DECOUPLING GROWTH FROM DESTRUCTION Colleague Gaia Vince. Vince outlines technological solutions for restoring the planet, such as ocean fertilization, which adds iron to oceans to boost algae growth and sequester carbon, mimicking natural cycles previously aided by whales. She also describes enhanced weathering, where specific rocks are distributed on land to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Addressing the economy, Vince argues against "negative growth," proposing instead that we must decouple economic growth from environmental destruction. Batchelor adds that nature is already adapting to climate change, noting that plants like the mimosa are migrating northward in response to warming temperatures. NUMBER 4 1874 DEPARTING QUEENSTOWN

Anil Varanasi is the co-founder and CEO of Meter, which provides full-stack networking infrastructure as a service for businesses. Since founding Meter with his brother Sunil in 2015, Anil has been playing a distinctly long game in one of the most entrenched markets in technology, betting on vertical integration, business model innovation, and a multi-decade time horizon. In this conversation, he unpacks Meter's origin story, from four-plus years of heads-down R&D, and shares how his unconventional approach to planning, management, and pace keeps him excited to run the company for decades. In today's episode, we discuss: Why Anil thinks in 25-year horizons How operating in a monopolistic market shaped Meter's approach Why Meter scrapped a year of OS work during the R&D phase How Meter is rethinking networking's business model Surviving COVID, Apple's M1 transition, and “a thousand bad days” Anil's contrarian views on planning, OKRs, and management How founders can build companies they'll want to run for decades Where to find Anil: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anilcv/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/acv Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast References: ADT: https://www.adt.com Alex Honnold: https://www.alexhonnold.com Alex Tabarrok: https://x.com/ATabarrok alarm.com: https://www.alarm.com Andreessen Horowitz (a16z): https://a16z.com Apple: https://www.apple.com Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com Bryan Caplan: http://www.bcaplan.com/ Cisco: https://www.cisco.com Coca-Cola: https://www.coca-colacompany.com George Mason University (GMU): https://www.gmu.edu Intel: https://www.intel.com Julia Galef: https://x.com/juliagalef Martin Casado: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martincasado/ Meraki: https://meraki.cisco.com Meter: https://www.meter.com Michela Giorcelli: https://x.com/M_Giorcelli Nicholas Bloom: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-bloom-stanford/ Raffaella Sadun: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raffaella-sadun-3a182225/ Sanjit Biswas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjitbiswas/ Sunil Varanasi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sunil-varanasi-662a01253/ Tyler Cowen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-cowen-166718/ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv Timestamps: (01:27) Meter's unusual timeframes (04:06) “We don't do OKRs” (06:32) How to plan without planning (08:31) Track your unhappy customers (11:43) How Meter's journey began (15:02) Dissecting the 2010s SaaS boom (17:06) The networking industry trap (21:44) Meter's first roadblock (22:07) Why Shenzhen accelerated Meter's progress (26:29) The process to get a sales-ready product (31:02) Why you should own the full stack (32:45) The surprising thing you should innovate (35:03) Avoiding the one-trick pony trap (37:39) The secret to finding an excellent market (43:48) How COVID's constraints propelled growth (48:25) Why founders need to know their customers (49:34) Why Meter didn't sell via traditional channels (51:44) You need “seller-market fit” (54:51) The danger of meta-work (56:25) Decoupling management from authority (1:02:17) When the person is the problem (1:05:05) The inherent value of going slowly (1:09:41) Running a company for as long as possible

In an era where artificial intelligence dominates boardroom conversations, global supply chain leaders face a new challenge: separating hype from real, scalable value. As AI becomes an essential part of the enterprise toolkit, organizations are racing to implement it not just for efficiency, but also for empowering teams, making better decisions, and transforming entire value chains.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton sits down with Anouk Schoenmakers, Managing Partner Consulting Solutions at Bluecrux, and Joy Taylor, Managing Director at alliantConsulting, to explore how organizations can move beyond the AI buzz and create meaningful, people-centered transformation across the value chain. Together, they unpack how supply chain leaders can use AI not as a shiny object, but as an enabler of better, faster, and more confident decision-making.Anouk shares why decision intelligence is now a survival skill for modern businesses, and how companies can build the agility and mindset needed to thrive amid constant disruption.Joy offers her perspective on change management and the human side of digital transformation, explaining why technology alone isn't enough without trust, transparency, and a people-first culture. From decoupling data and decision flows to scaling AI adoption through trust and clarity, they explore actionable insights for leaders ready to turn transformation into lasting impact.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(01:45) Meet Joy Taylor and Anouk Schoenmakers(03:07) Personal insights and warm-up questions(07:44) Diving into AI and supply chain(16:37) The role of AI in decision making(20:42) Decoupling physical and data flows(24:08) Empowering people with AI(27:21) Pro tip for leaders: eliminating barriers(27:52) The forward pass analogy: embracing change(28:51) Optimizing speed and scale in AI(30:24) The importance of trust in AI adoption(33:46) Change management: people first approach(37:18) Building an AI culture(40:18) Real-world AI success stories(48:11) Exciting future for BluecruxAdditional Links and ResourcesConnect with Joy Taylor: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-taylor-womanleader/Connect with Anouk Schoenmakers: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anouk-schoenmakers-45a81713/Learn more about Bluecrux: https://www.bluecrux.com/Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!
