The gap between a promising AI pilot and enterprise-wide, scalable impact remains a critical divide where momentum and resources often stall. Today's guest is Deborah Golden, U.S. Chief Innovation Officer at Deloitte who returns to the show to join Emerj CEO Daniel Faggella to tackle the costly reality of stalled AI initiatives. This conversation moves beyond traditional theory, offering a new strategic lens for driving the systemic and cultural change required to scale AI responsibly. Deborah shares how leaders can overcome deep-seated organizational inertia that typically hinders initiatives, architecting novel approaches for innovation – like AI sandboxes, portfolio-based funding, and "blameless postmortems" – forging the critical, and often missing, connective tissue between experimentation and measurable business impact. The conversation delivers concrete strategies for connecting innovation to core operations and unlocking the promise of AI across your enterprise. This episode is sponsored by Deloitte.

This episode explores whether the energy sector – and particularly the North East of Scotland – is at a genuine turning point. The conversation looks at how a “just transition” could play out for workers and supply chains as the North Sea continues to decline, and how policy choices over the next five to seven years could mean either many more jobs in offshore energy or a sharp loss of capacity and capability. The guests unpack the idea of an “energy workforce”, not tied to a single fuel, and discuss how companies are increasingly global, chasing projects and moving people across borders while trying to stay agile in a volatile market.Alongside that, they dig into the UK's shifting tax regime in the North Sea, the impact of the windfall levy, the challenges of the current investment climate, and the added frictions from employment law changes and immigration policy. New modelling shows that the pace of decline in oil and gas could have material economic impacts, especially for Scotland and the North East, where offshore activity underpins a large share of jobs and GVA. Despite the risks and recent redundancies, the tone ends up cautiously optimistic: with clearer policy, better signalling from government and the right incentives, the UK still has the chance to turn its existing strengths – workforce, supply chain and North Sea assets – into a world-class, net zero-focused energy powerhouse.This episode is the fifth in a series partnering Deloitte with the Fraser of Allander Institute. In this series expect lively debate, expert insights, and thought-provoking discussions that will reshape the conversation around Scottish economic growth. Culminating in a landmark event in March 2026, this collaboration will unveil ground-breaking insights and provide a platform for action. This Scottish-focused initiative builds upon Deloitte's UK-wide Growth 35 programme, painting a bold vision for a thriving UK economy by 2035.Timestamps(00:00) - (04:30) - Welcome, context & guest introductions(04:30) - (12:30) - Is the energy sector at a turning point? – “Striking the Balance”(12:30) - (21:00) - From oil & gas to an “energy workforce” and a global supply chain(21:00) - (31:30) - Investment climate and the North Sea fiscal regime(31:30) - (38:00) - Employment rights, immigration policy and agility(38:00) - (42:00) - Economic modelling: managed vs accelerated decline(42:00) - (45:41) - Lessons from 2015, current mood & reasons for optimismThe full transcript is available here.

In this episode, Dr. Ashwin Mehta joins us to talk about how AI is quietly changing the way we think, learn, and make decisions. Drawing from his global career in pharma, government, and consulting, from building digital learning systems in West Africa to leading AI strategy at Bayer — Ashwin shares why he's dedicated his work to keeping the “human” at the center of technology.We explore how trust in AI can evolve from confidence to dependency, what “agentic AI” really means for the future of work, and the mental habits we risk losing as machines start thinking for us. Ashwin also reflects on what he still refuses to let AI handle, and why maintaining human judgment may be the ultimate competitive edge in an increasingly automated world.Dr. Ashwin Mehta helps organizations adopt AI in ways that put people first. With a PhD in digital learning adoption and over 20 years across pharma, government, consulting, and international health, he focuses on the intersection of technology, human capital, and transformation.

When you imagine the future, is it powered by clean energy or driven by AI? As the UK works towards its net-zero goals, our energy system is being asked to do more than ever before – delivering power that's cleaner, smarter, and more reliable to support an increasingly digital and connected world The future isn't just electric – it's intelligent. Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we live and work, boosting productivity, driving economic growth, and helping to tackle some of society's biggest challenges. But AI doesn't run on ideas and data alone – it runs on energy. And as its capabilities expand, so does the demand for power to keep it running. So how do we make sure the UK's ambition to lead in AI and achieve net zero go hand in hand? Can we build an energy system of the future that powers both our digital and sustainable ambitions? What will it take to get there, and who needs to lead the charge? That's what we're exploring in this episode of The Green Room with Carol Yan, General Manager responsible for Amazon Web Services' Energy & Utilities business across the UK & Ireland, and Tom Harris, leader of Deloitte's Sustainable Business Solutions practice, as we ask: What will it take to power our AI goals? Tune in to find out: How AI and new technology is accelerating the journey towards a more sustainable future What really happens when energy giants and tech companies innovate together Why "coopetition" is key to tackling AI's environmental impact How businesses can scale AI responsibly without losing their competitive edge Enjoyed this episode?

De zakelijke wereld beweegt sneller richting cryptotechnologie dan in eerdere jaren. Te gast is Kim Schneider, web3 enterprise lead bij Deloitte. Grote bedrijven verdiepen zich opnieuw in blockchain en tokenisatie, maar met een andere insteek dan in de periode van vroege experimenten. Waar organisaties vroeger nog probeerden met eigen wallets, interne blockchains of uiteenlopende altcoins waarde te creëren, verschuift de aandacht nu naar publieke netwerken en toepassingen die direct aansluiten op bestaande bedrijfsprocessen. Volgens Schneider heeft de technologie inmiddels voldoende volwassenheid bereikt, waardoor publieke infrastructuur steeds vaker de voorkeur krijgt. Het tempo waarin dat gebeurt, ligt hoger dan voorheen, al blijft de intrinsieke motivatie soms achter. De druk om niet achter te blijven speelt hierbij mee, want de stappen die grote spelers zetten zorgen voor een bredere beweging. Die ontwikkeling gaat niet zonder vraagstukken. Bedrijven kunnen niet zomaar aan de slag met cryptotechnologie, ook al zijn de netwerken er technisch klaar voor. Er is behoefte aan duidelijkheid, standaardisering en kaders waarmee toepassingen veilig opgeschaald kunnen worden. De markt zelf is bovendien verre van euforisch. Toch lijkt dat maar beperkt invloed te hebben op de mate waarin grote organisaties zich oriënteren. Hun tijdshorizon is langer en zij kijken vooral naar structurele verbeteringen die de technologie kan bieden. Opvallend is dat vooral stablecoins in hoog tempo terrein winnen. De redenen lopen uiteen: efficiënte betalingen, directe settlement, lagere kosten en de mogelijkheid om bestaande financiële processen te moderniseren zonder volatiliteit van cryptomunten. Zowel publieke netwerken als private oplossingen spelen hierin een rol. De afweging tussen beide blijft afhankelijk van schaalbaarheid, regulering en de mate van controle die organisaties nodig achten. In steeds meer sectoren worden stablecoins gezien als een bouwsteen van toekomstige financiële infrastructuur, zowel binnen bedrijven als in internationale waardeketens. Deloitte speelt in die ontwikkeling een dubbele rol: het adviseert bedrijven die toepassingen willen bouwen en controleert partijen die onder MiCAR vallen. Daarmee ontstaat een brug tussen gecentraliseerde instellingen en de decentrale technologie waarop veel ontwikkelingen zijn gebaseerd. MiCAR zorgt ondertussen voor beweging in de markt. Organisaties moeten processen, risicomodellen en rapportages aanscherpen, wat zorgt voor meer professionalisering. Dat raakt ook cryptobedrijven die in Europa actief zijn en maakt de sector toegankelijker voor traditionele partijen. De vraag blijft welke plek stablecoins en bredere cryptotechnologie uiteindelijk krijgen in het financiële systeem. De contouren daarvan beginnen zichtbaar te worden: een combinatie van publieke netwerken, gereguleerde tussenpartijen en toepassingen die stap voor stap integreren in het bestaande landschap.

Deloitte AI360: A 360-degree view of AI topics in 360 seconds
Kieran Norton leads AI and cyber at Deloitte. He and Jim discuss the impact of AI on cybersecurity, and how early cyber team involvement plus clear governance can help manage risk and boost efficiency as both AI and cyber threats continue to evolve.
In a world obsessed with conversion rates and customer acquisition costs, have we forgotten the one thing that actually makes both of them better?Agility requires more than just the ability to react quickly to market signals. It demands a stable, strategic core—a brand—that provides the necessary context and direction to ensure your pivots are purposeful, not just panicked. Today, we're going to talk about a fundamental truth that many organizations are wrestling with: what looks like a growth problem is often a brand problem. When acquisition costs are climbing and churn is a constant threat, the default response is often to double down on performance marketing. But in crowded markets, that's a race to the bottom. We'll explore why brand is the ultimate lever for creating sustainable demand, pricing power, and the kind of loyalty that performance channels simply can't buy. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Kimberly Storin, CMO at Zoom. About Kim Storin Kimberly Storin is the CMO at Zoom, where she leads global marketing and communications. Prior to Zoom, Kim held marketing leadership roles at various tech companies, from SaaS start-ups to Fortune 50 companies, and was an M&A consultant at Deloitte earlier in her career.

In this episode, Robin Merttens sits down with Haris Khan and Arved Pohlabeln, co-founders of Novee, to unpack what's broken in specialty underwriting — and how AI is finally in a position to fix it. Having met as consultants at Deloitte, Haris and Arved kept encountering the same themes: overworked underwriters, inconsistent submissions, and transformation efforts that rarely made a real difference. That frustration turned into action. Today, they're building Novee — an AI assistant designed specifically for underwriters, combining insight generation with targeted automation. In this conversation, Haris and Arved share: Why underwriting processes remain complex, fragmented and hard to standardise What makes specialty submissions so variable — and why every case feels like an edge case How Novee delivers value in two ways: by surfacing better risk insights and automating manual tasks Why underwriters are embracing AI tools now — not resisting them What it takes to get live in weeks, not months, with meaningful value The real-world impact of extracting information from unstructured submissions How they raised £1.6 million in seed funding and what they're doing with it Why verticalised AI is outperforming generic solutions in insurance What it means to redesign underwriting interaction patterns — and why inbox to insight is the future The case for using AI before you fix your data, not after Sign up to the InsTech newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning.

Lupine Skelly, Retail Research Leader at Deloitte, joins Phillip and Alicia to dissect the stark reality behind this year's holiday shopping forecast. Consumer spending is projected to drop by 10%, and economic pessimism has reached its highest level since the Great Recession. As a result, retailers are facing a season where communicating value is key. This conversation explores the enduring vitality of Black Friday, the quiet revolution of private label brands, and how cultural rituals, AI integration, and brand loyalty are being fundamentally rewired. The Data Doesn't LieKey Takeaways:Shoppers expect to spend $1,595 this season as economic concerns peak57% expect the economy to weaken, the most pessimistic outlook recorded since 1997Black Friday remains vital despite two decades of obituaries24% of budgets are spent by October due to the Prime Day effectPrivate label gains ground as brand loyalty fundamentally shiftsKey Quotes:[00:02:10.14] Lupine Skelly: "57% of people are saying they expect the economy to weaken in the year ahead, and that's the highest we've seen since we started tracking that question in 1997. To put that in context, 2008 was probably the next highest at 54%—that was around the Great Recession. So [there's] a lot of uncertainty out there."[00:04:42.72] Lupine Skelly: "I feel like people have been trying to kill off Black Friday for 20 years. Is Black Friday dead? It's not dead."[00:13:17.91] Lupine Skelly: "In our study, 42% of consumers are saying they're going to use gen AI to find the perfect gift. And even more are saying they're going to use it to find the best deals."[00:25:49.24] Lupine Skelly: "Retail is always battling for share of wallet, but I think we're at a very different time period. Gaming, gambling—there's some big juggernauts taking what might have been the money you used to go to the mall years ago."Associated Links:Dig deeper into Deloitte data and insights hereCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Lative, the AI sales planning platform for sales and go-to-market teams, has announced it has raised $7.5 million in funding to boost product development and expand its go-to-market. The round, co-led by Act Venture Capital and Senovo VC, has also been backed by Elkstone, Enterprise Ireland, WestWave Capital, Handshake Ventures and Shuttle. Among customers utilising the platform already for more precise sales planning are Seismic, Intercom, Aiven, Avalara and Version 1. Lative helps companies understand their sales data and invest resources where they'll have the greatest impact. Instead of juggling multiple sheets, models and disconnected tools, Lative unifies the sales planning process in one cloud-based platform by connecting top-down targets and quota plans with bottom-up sales productivity and capacity. Teams can model and simulate future org designs to have the most effective sales team for achieving revenue goals, adjust plans in real time, and gain clear visibility into sales productivity and efficiency through AI Insights. This allows them to make smarter hiring and investment decisions based on data rather than assumptions, identify risks and opportunities before they impact revenue, and track execution with confidence. Lative was launched in 2022 by industry veterans Werner Schmidt and Laura Tortosa Sancho, bringing together over 32 years of senior operations experience from Sage, Citrix, and Deloitte. They recognised a common pain point: manual, fragmented sales planning that lacks real-time visibility and tracking execution. Frustrated by high-performing teams wasting time on outdated spreadsheets and models, Werner and Laura created Lative to deliver real-time sales intelligence and automated planning with AI. For end users, this means smarter planning, instant insights, and the ability to make faster, better decisions with customers seeing up to 24% increases in sales productivity across segments. "We saw the same issue over and over again, in every company we worked in - sales planning was slow, manual, and stuck in spreadsheets," said Werner Schmidt, Co-Founder and CEO of Lative. "We built Lative to change that, and to give sales teams real-time visibility and confidence so every decision is informed, not guessed in this critical activity for go to market organisations. Every sales organisation needs to plan and track execution, and it's mainly done in spreadsheets today. Now there's a better way." The sales performance management market, valued at over $2.3 billion in 2023, is projected to exceed $7 billion by 2030, showing the demand for solutions that automate and optimise sales execution. In just 15 months, Lative has achieved 10x growth, a clear sign of the demand for such a product. The company was recently ranked second to Salesforce on G2's Sales Planning Grid. Lative has also forged strategic integration partnerships with data platform leaders Salesforce, HubSpot, and Snowflake to enable seamless data sharing for revenue teams. "Lative is driving a paradigm shift to sales planning and optimisation teams that is long overdue. By helping teams identify what's working and what isn't in real-time, problems are identified before they become too large to manage," said Dr. Alexander Buchberger, Partner at Senovo. "RevOps leaders love Lative when they see it. New AI Consumption models now need better tooling to manage complexity. Lative helps industry leaders like Seismic, Intercom and Version 1 see true sales productivity and capacity in real-time to deliver efficient growth. Werner, Laura, and their team are defining a new category with an exciting AI roadmap." said Andrew O'Neill, Principal at Act. "Lative allows us to see our productive sales capacity in real-time which is fundamental to how we scale the business and invest in the right areas to accelerate growth." said Mathieu Cognac, Vice President of Revenue Operations at Seismic.

When asked about the major sources of revenue for the Liberian government, Samora explains that over 80% of the government budget comes from domestic revenue, with the rest from donors like the IMF, World Bank, and European Union. He details the importance of conducting audits and meeting benchmarks to access external resources, and shares a few examples of how this works. Samora discusses his role in developing revenue policies and regulations, focusing on domestic resource mobilization to grow the budget to $1 billion.

He goes on to talk about investment potential and licensing, shipping, and exporting.

There's a stigma around the word “underwear”. You don't talk about it until you don't have it. -Catherine Maloy This week's guest is a mom who saw a simple need for children in crisis and made it her mission to do something about it. Catherine Maloy is the Founder & Executive Director of a non-profit called Cocotree Kids www.cocotreekids.org. Let's all agree: underwear is not glamorous, but it is fundamental. Without it, children may feel shamed, vulnerable, and excluded. Conceived during the pandemic and launched as a neighborhood clothing drive, Cocotree Kids has established 30 partnerships with hospitals, shelters, and schools, distributing 430,000 pairs of new underwear to 60,000 children throughout Massachusetts. “Underwear is an essential human need,” says Catherine. We want to give children in crisis the dignity, hope, comfort, and confidence they need to succeed, despite their circumstances.“ Originally from Miami, Florida, Catherine was raised in a home where philanthropic acts of service connected family to community. A 14-year veteran of Deloitte with a focus on Consulting and Human Resources, Catherine offers this advice: “Be a part of something bigger than yourself. Success is something you are supposed to be proud of.” For 20 minutes of empathy and innovation, just hit that download button. #children #non-profit #crisis #community
In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael speaks with AI strategist and author Steff about the real-world impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce. Together, they challenge the common narrative that AI is replacing human jobs and explore how leaders can adopt AI responsibly without losing sight of the human element. AI's Limited Impact on the Workforce Steff shares her concerns about companies prematurely laying off employees under the guise of AI adoption, emphasizing that today's AI lacks the depth to truly replace people. Michael echoes this sentiment, noting that many organizations are jumping into AI initiatives without understanding the implications. Both agree that while AI will transform the workforce over time, we're far from a reality where machines can replace human intelligence and empathy. Rethinking Employment Dynamics Michael and Steff dive into the nuances of AI's effect on employment. While automation can replace certain tasks, it often leads to cost-cutting rather than meaningful innovation. Steff highlights how AI can reduce repetitive work, freeing humans to focus on creativity and strategy. The two also compare cultural differences between North America and Europe—where stronger work-life balance and social systems offer a healthier framework for integrating technology into work. AI as a Productivity Partner The conversation shifts to the potential of AI as a collaboration tool. Michael explains how AI-powered note-taking and workflow tools can enhance meetings by freeing up cognitive space and improving documentation. Steff and Michael agree that AI democratizes access to powerful tools, empowering individuals to be more productive, even as organizations struggle to integrate these systems effectively. Context Is the New Skillset Steff introduces a fascinating idea—the rise of the “context engineer.” As businesses rely on AI, she argues that human understanding of nuance, culture, and emotional intelligence will become essential to guide AI systems effectively. Context engineers will bridge the gap between data and human meaning, ensuring AI remains a support, not a substitute. What AI Can't Replace Drawing from her book Being Replaced, Steff outlines five uniquely human skills that AI cannot automate: flexible thinking, emotional intelligence, collective intelligence, intuition, and true innovation. She underscores that while AI can simulate emotion or pattern recognition, it cannot create, connect, or empathize as humans do. Michael reinforces that innovation and adaptability have always been the cornerstones of human progress. AI as a Tool for Human Enhancement The episode closes on an optimistic note. Steff discusses her open-source framework for using AI intelligently and invites listeners to explore her resources on her website and GitHub. Together, Michael and Steff remind us that AI should be viewed not as a threat, but as a powerful enhancement tool that amplifies human capability, creativity, and connection. Listen now to discover how to lead in the age of AI without losing what makes us human. For more insights on leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace culture, visit BreakfastLeadership.com/blog. Steff Vanhaverbeke - The "Superworker" Revolution While 76% of professionals are drowning in AI overwhelm, Steff discovered how to use AI to prevent burnout instead of causing it. Her "Superworker" methodology helps leaders achieve 3x productivity without working harder by building an "AI Second Brain." Starting as a graphic designer in 1993 during the web's emergence, she now coaches professionals at Microsoft, Deloitte, and PwC. Her recent webinar to 400 people generated feedback like "This is exactly what I needed, not another technical course, but insights and ways to get a grip on AI with my team." Possible discussion topics: AI leadership without burnout Cognitive agility for leaders Guiding teams through tech transformation The five levels of AI adoption (from overwhelmed to empowered) Building psychological safety during technological change Why human skills become more valuable as AI handles routine work

Marketing leaders must integrate it across every function, from data analytics to customer engagement.Leadership must get technical: Future marketing leaders can't avoid data or tech. Understanding AI, automation, and analytics is critical for setting effective goals and strategies.Don't just hire AI experts, build internal fluency: Instead of creating isolated “AI teams,” leaders should train and empower existing staff to integrate AI into daily workflows.Personalization at scale is the new standard: AI enables hyper-personalization down to the stakeholder level, not just the account level. This is where real competitive advantage lies.Measure what matters: AI offers new opportunities to track touchpoints across the customer journey, finally making ROI and attribution measurable with greater accuracy.Change requires courage: Creativity, experimentation, and risk-taking are essential to unlocking AI's potential, leaders must champion innovation even when outcomes are uncertain.Quotes“This is the biggest opportunity of our generation.

AI is no longer just a search companion; it's becoming a digital negotiator. In this episode, hosts Chris Boyer and Reed Smith explore how agentic AI and new AI-driven browsers like Atlas and Comet are transforming the healthcare consumer experience.The discussion examines how these emerging tools are rewriting the rules of visibility, consent, and control - shifting healthcare from a web built for people to a web built for machines. As AI learns to summarize, recommend, and even schedule care, health systems must rethink what it means to be findable, trustworthy, and human in a machine-readable world.Key themes include: The rise of AI-native browsers and the collapse of traditional web traffic models Why “find a doctor” tools may soon give way to AI-to-AI scheduling The privacy and consent challenges of agentic AI scraping data and acting independently How healthcare organizations can redesign for trust, transparency, and machine comprehension What it means for brand voice and patient empathy when AI becomes the front door Mentions from the Show: Carrie Liken: The Google Checkmate: Has Atlas Sparked the End of the Internet as We Know It?

Deloitte AI360: A 360-degree view of AI topics in 360 seconds
Khalid Behairy is Deloitte's AI practice lead focusing on power, utilities, and renewables. He joins Jim Rowan to discuss four areas where AI is creating value and why speed and scale require embedding AI end to end, from the back office to the field.
Are the people you spend time with making you better or holding you back? This episode examines Jim Rohn's famous idea that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Jake Thompson, a leadership performance coach and the Chief Encouragement Officer at Compete Every Day, joins the show to unpack this powerful concept. He has spent over a decade working with leaders at organisations like Deloitte and the Dallas Cowboys, helping them achieve better results. Jake started his brand, Compete Every Day, in 2011 by selling t-shirts from his car and has since impacted over 80,000 leaders and hosts a top 1% global podcast. In this conversation, Jake and Andy Lopata explore how to intentionally build a professional "starting lineup" while allowing personal relationships to grow organically. They discuss the critical difference between evaluating professional peers based on success and personal friends based on shared values and energy. Learn how to identify "drains" versus "radiators" in your life and the subtle art of the "slow fade"—distancing yourself from relationships that no longer serve your growth without confrontation. This episode is a masterclass in auditing your inner circle to ensure it aligns with the person you aspire to become. What we discussed: Your "Starting Five" Are the people you spend the most time with secretly holding you back, or are they the key to unlocking your future success? Values vs. Success: Should you judge your friends by their achievements or by something deeper? Discover the one quality that truly defines a valuable relationship. Drains vs. Radiators: Do you leave conversations feeling energised or exhausted? Learn the simple way to identify the "energy vampires" in your life. The "Slow Fade" Technique: Is it possible to end a draining friendship without a dramatic confrontation? Uncover the subtle art of "consciously uncoupling" from people who no longer fit in your life. The Power of Disagreement: Why surrounding yourself with people who only agree with you could be the biggest mistake you're making for your personal growth.

What if your cybersecurity strategy could become your biggest sales advantage? In this episode, I sit down with Taylor Hersom, Founder and CEO of Eden Data, to explore how startups can transform compliance from a box-ticking exercise into a true growth engine. Taylor's journey is remarkable: a former Deloitte executive who quit his job the week before the world shut down, launched Eden Data on Upwork with just $16, and went on to build one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity advisory firms, now recently acquired by Riveron. His story blends grit, reinvention, and a deep understanding of how trust has become the real currency of modern business. We talk about how to safeguard customer data in an AI-first world and why shadow AI has become the new shadow IT problem for many companies. Taylor explains why cybersecurity can no longer sit in the IT department alone, sharing examples of how marketing and customer experience leaders are now leveraging security as a differentiator to win contracts and customer loyalty. He also opens up about the human side of cyber risk, why most breaches stem from simple mistakes, and how gamifying awareness training can be more effective than annual compliance videos no one remembers. As AI rapidly reshapes the digital landscape, Taylor shares his perspective on what future global standards for AI security could look like and how leaders can bake compliance and security into their products from day one. His view is clear: the next generation of successful startups will treat cybersecurity as both a foundation and a brand promise. How ready are you to make trust part of your growth strategy? And how will your business adapt as cybersecurity becomes not just a requirement, but a competitive edge? Share your thoughts after listening.
