The push to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into business operations is becoming increasingly essential in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. Organizations are feeling the pressure to adopt AI, not just as a strategic tool to solve real business problems but also to keep pace with competitors and market trends.  This urgency often leads to a critical decision: should AI adoption be driven by genuine business needs, or should it be a response to external pressures to 'keep up with the AI movement'? AI's potential to revolutionize operations, elevate customer experiences, and forge new value streams is truly remarkable.  While the eagerness to adopt AI is understandable, it's crucial to grasp its purpose and potential impact first.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Denzil Eden, founder & CEO of Smarty, an AI-powered productivity assistant. With degrees in computer science & AI from MIT & an MBA from Harvard, Denzil has been at the frontier of harnessing AI's potential to transform work. She has held roles in engineering & product management and is now the founder & CEO of Smarty. The pair discuss her founder journey as a solo technical female, how to provide advice for startups navigating economic uncertainty, insights on how she sees AI continuing to shape the future of work over the next decade, & practical tips for founders & professionals to help them start implementing today to enhance productivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS I started coding at 8 years old & fell in love with building. That passion stayed with me & I enrolled at MIT where my passion thrived. I got a degree in computer science & did a Masters in human computer interactions building an app like Slack for classrooms. I thought that being a founder wasn't for me, that I wanted more stability & I'm not sure where that mindset came from. I explored a lot of different careers & eventually went to business school to round out my education, while there the idea for Smarty came to me. This is the time to develop your AI literacy, to play around with AI tools, to understand how they think, work & how they can make your life better, how they can augment the work that you're doing. We're in such an early period of what technologies & tools are going to come out with AI, but the faster you start immersing yourself in that world the sooner you'll be able to understand how to prompt/talk to/leverage an AI tool. There's a lot that goes into responsible & ethical AI, we should be attributing where the data is coming from for these AI tools, the original artists should get credit, there should be some sort of system to track  who was the original creator of a piece of work. On the other side, a lot of artists are standing on the shoulders of giants that came before them in terms of being inspired by things that came before & trying to create something new from that. I think AI tools can help speed up that process of experimenting with their own work. I've learned so much over my founders path & specifically about being a woman in AI, because AI is so based on previous data it's been fed, it's really important to provide AI tools with diverse sources of data. What I'm seeing right now in the AI space is there are no female speakers at events. Not just gender, but source of information need to be diverse in race, culture, socio-economic class, diversity is fundamental to the way AI works. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was overwhelmed in most areas of my life & I realised that the majority of the things I was doing & had on my plate could be easily automated with existing technology, so I started building Smarty for myself.' ‘I use the same pitch I started with in 2018, but the appetite for the pitch is so different today. It shows you that timing is everything. Don't be dissuaded, have internal drive over external validation.' ‘I think AI is going to be a transformational tool in every industry, every job from tech to farming to music. It's such a magical time & I'm very excited to be part of that movement.' ‘You don't have to understand the ‘black box' of an AI tool & how it works, you just have to learn how to use it & in 5-10 years' time you'll be the expert.' ABOUT THE GUEST Denzil Eden is the founder & CEO of Smarty, an AI-powered productivity assistant that helps professionals plan their days & automate mundane tasks. A trailblazer as a solo female technical founder, Denzil earned degrees in computer science & AI from MIT before getting her MBA from Harvard. Denzil has an extensive background in technology and entrepreneurship. She started coding at age eight & has worked as a software engineer, product manager, & now founder and CEO.  Denzil has been at the forefront of harnessing AI to transform everyday work life for over 5 years through Smarty. Backed by Pear VC and other investors, Smarty has helped thousands achieve peak productivity by creating structured routines, automating administrative tasks, & maximizing time efficiency. When she's not using technology to make people's lives easier, you can find Denzil playing piano, writing sci-fi stories, or searching for the perfect cup of tea.

We're back for season 18 and we're kicking off with an in-depth look at new feature documentary A Year in a Field, a quiet film by Christopher Morris that is currently on tour around UK cinemas, distributed by Anti-Worlds. Produced by Bosena (Enys Men) in partnership with Stone Club and Falmouth University's Sound/Image Cinema Lab, the film tells the story of Chris's relationship with a 4,000 year old menhir (standing stone) in West Penwith, Kernow, and the slow burn political awakening around the climate crisis that spending time with the stone brought out of the filmmaker. Ahead of the theatrical release Chris and Denzil joined Neil for an on-stage conversation at Falmouth venue, The Poly (a place that should be familiar to Cinematologists listeners) following a preview screening of the film for incoming school of film & television students at Falmouth University. Around the live conversation, Neil and Dario discuss the upcoming season of podcast highlights and regards A Year in a Field, discuss the potential for a political cinema and individualist versus collective responses to structural inequalities and the climate crisis. Yep, it's a political one, right out the gate.

Sheila and Denzil have been happily married and very busy for 52 years, keeping bees, raising children, operating their bee business, and founding the Greater Cleveland Beekeepers Association (GCBA). Greg and I caught up with them on a Wednesday evening at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds, where they were demonstrating how to do an "alcohol wash" on a hive to determine if it contained harmful mites. This preceded the beekeepers association's annual July picnic. The GCBA supports hundreds of backyard beekeepers from all walks of life. They come together to learn, support each other, socialize, and help spread the word about the essential need for honeybees and beekeeping. Housed at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds, the GCBA educates aspiring and existing beekeepers and the public. There are several active bee hives, a bee barn, a pollinator garden, and an observation hive. Join us as we dip into this topic just enough to pique your interest in becoming a beekeeper, spark an appreciation for bees, and inspire you to take a beginner beekeeping course through GCBA.

I've noticed many successful founders are driven by an earlier disappointment in their lives which is often related to their 'non-traditional' backgrounds when it comes to consulting. After a rejection from Oxford stuck in his craw and enjoying an early experience of consulting, Denzil built specialist expertise that would allow him to take advantage of an emerging market: commercial due diligence for M&A. Although it seems crazy now, the idea that there was more to a potential acquisition than its financials was relatively new in the 1990s.Denzil founded AMR international in 1992 support M&A activities in business media, information, and technology. He eventually sold the company in 2002 to Stax, a Boston-based M&A strategy consulting firm which had recently received backing from Blue Point Capital Partners.In addition to founding and growing a successful strategy consulting firm in competition against much bigger players, Denzil is a regular speaker at industry conferences and an author of six M&A related books.Here's a link to the book mentioned in the podcastProf. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit.
