Ep. 177: Generative AI, copyright, and collection. Welcome to a special Music Ally Focus podcast series made in collaboration with Sacem, exploring the evolution of collective management in the modern music industry – looking at technology, policy, copyright and more. In the first episode: Generative AI is no longer a future concept – it is a fundamental tool in today's creative process. But as the amount of AI-generated content increases, so do the complexities of music rights – and the number of questions that songwriters, artists and rightsholders have. So we spoke to David El Sayegh, Deputy CEO of collecting society Sacem, to discuss how the organisation is defining the future of copyright. We explored Sacem's strategic approach to the AI revolution, from building a shared understanding of policy to the practical technologies being tested in the Sacem Lab, to protect human creativity and ensure fair revenue exists in this new landscape. And, we ask El Sayegh: if we are in the middle of a huge shift in AI-driven music creation and consumption, what are the revenue opportunities – and financial risks – for creators and CMOs stemming from this?It's a broad and deep discussion from the top: he also discussed Sacem's official stance on AI training models, how they are protecting the notion of human creativity – and the new technologies being developed to ensure creators are fairly compensated in an AI-driven world. Explore more: https://flyer.sacemenligne.fr/IA/EN/index.html=========Over the next three episodes, we continue to dive into how collective management is having to move with the times: exploring how one of the world's leading CMOs is navigating a landscape redefined by artificial intelligence, global scaling, and the changing needs of modern creators.=======This is a Music Ally Co-Labs podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠musically.com/music-ally-co-labs⁠.

This episode features audio from the first panel discussion of the day at Artemis ILS NYC 2026, our tenth catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in the ILS NYC series, held on February 6th 2026 in New York.The panel was focused on the private insurance-linked securities market segment and titled Private ILS: Achieving portfolio discipline and resilience through the cycle.This private insurance-linked securities panel discussion was kindly moderated by Lorenzo Volpi, Deputy CEO and Managing Partner, Leadenhall Capital Partners LLP.He was joined on stage by: Jessica Laird, CEO, Nephila Capital; Michael Stahel, Partner/Portfolio Manager, LGT ILS Partners Ltd.; Eveline Takken-Somers, Head of Insurance Linked Investments, PGGM; and Dr. Raffaele Dell'Amore, Investment Managing Director, Global Head ILS Research, Cambridge Associates.Our panellists explored the track-record of private placements in ILS, which has been particularly impressive in recent years. They noted the still healthy premium environment, despite recent softening in reinsurance markets, believing strong performance can continue as long as portfolio discipline is maintained. The discussion also covered the attractiveness of private insurance linked securities placements versus catastrophe bonds, the importance of transparency and trust, as well as in educating new investors, or those looking to move on from cat bond strategies.Speakers also noted that the capital raising environment remains more challenged in private ILS and blended strategies, than for pure cat bond funds. But there was a general belief that conditions continue to improve and the track-record of private ILS fund strategies is now attracting increasing attention from institutional investors.Listen to the full podcast episode from our Artemis ILS NYC 2026 conference to learn more about conditions in the private insurance-linked securities (ILS) marketplace and investors attraction to private reinsurance investment opportunities.

In this episode of Stonewater's On the Air podcast, host Paula Palmer explores who social housing is really for in today's pressured housing landscape. Holly Edwards, Stonewater's Customer Experience Director, explains how lettings and allocations work, why fairness is so difficult to achieve, and how shortages shape both decision‑making and community sustainability.Tim Brown from De Montfort University offers a policy and historical lens, discussing the ongoing challenge of fairness for vulnerable applicants and what the UK can — cautiously — learn from European systems.Mark Kent, Deputy CEO at Local Space, provides insight from the frontline, describing councils operating in “permanent emergency mode,” the rise in temporary accommodation, and how intermediate rent has become a safety valve for a system under strain. Journalist Peter Apps rounds out the conversation with reflections on the long-term impact of needs‑based lettings, the misconceptions driving public debate, and the importance of reframing social housing as a mainstream public service rather than a last‑resort option.

The global economy doesn't run on boardrooms. It runs on the people who keep the real world moving. They're the ones staffing hospitals and elder care centers, keeping restaurants humming through the dinner rush, unloading trucks before sunrise, and holding retail together during the most chaotic shopping weeks of the year. They are essential — and they are everywhere. Yet for decades, the systems built to support them have been designed around office life. Schedules go up late. Communication breaks down. Policies feel inconsistent. But when those barriers start to lift — when people get clarity, consistency, and tools that actually fit the way they work — the job becomes something you can take pride in again, and the entire operation runs stronger because of it.Few leaders understand that opportunity better than Silvija Martincevic, CEO of Deputy. With a career spent scaling global companies and building billion-dollar businesses, she now leads a workforce management platform used by millions of shift workers and thousands of businesses across more than 100 countries. Before Deputy, Silvija helped companies grow into billion-dollar brands, forged partnerships with Walmart, Amazon, American Airlines, and Target, and increased revenue from $100 million to well over $1 billion. At Groupon, she built a $1 billion international business while serving as CMO and GM of its Health & Beauty division. Today, we'll break down her work, her leadership philosophy, and the lessons she's learned building high-growth companies that serve both scale and purpose.

As part of Cervical Cancer Awareness Week 2026 in Israel, the Israel Cancer Association emphasized that increasing awareness, vaccination, and early detection can significantly reduce cervical cancer rates in Israel—similar to Australia—and may even lead to its elimination altogether.

In "The Optym Advantage: Smarter Routing, Planning, and Decision Making", Joe Lynch and Shaman Ahuja, Deputy CEO of Optym, discuss how applied AI and optimization maximize fleet utilization and driver profitability. About Shaman Ahuja Shaman Ahuja is currently serving as the Deputy CEO of Optym, a company specializing in prepackaged software solutions. With a robust background in technology and product management, he has held various leadership positions within Optym, showcasing his ability to drive innovation and efficiency. He began his professional journey as an intern and has progressively climbed the ranks, demonstrating a strong commitment to his career growth. His educational foundation in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University has equipped him with the skills necessary to excel in the competitive landscape of technology and his experience at firms like Goldman Sachs further underscores his capability and adaptability in high-pressure environments. He is passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex business challenges and is dedicated to fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence within his teams. About Optym Optym, Inc. is a global leader in optimization and applied AI solutions for the transportation and logistics industry. For more than two decades, Optym has partnered with some of the world's largest trucking, airline, and rail companies to solve their most complex operational challenges. Its flagship products—including LoadAi and RouteMax—empower carriers, brokers, and fleets to maximize efficiency, increase profitability, and make smarter, data-driven decisions. Backed by deep expertise in operations research, optimization science, and machine learning, Optym builds technology that turns real-world complexity into simple, actionable workflows. Key Takeaways: The Optym Advantage: Smarter Routing, Planning, and Decision Making In "The Optym Advantage: Smarter Routing, Planning, and Decision Making", Joe Lynch and Shaman Ahuja, Deputy CEO of Optym, discuss how applied AI and optimization maximize fleet utilization and driver profitability. Optimization vs. Standard Routing: Shaman clarifies that Optym is not a turn-by-turn navigation tool. While standard routing focuses on the best path from Point A to Point B, Optym's "Decision Support" focuses on load assignment. It determines which load a driver should take next, considering all drivers and constraints simultaneously to create a holistic weekly plan for the entire fleet. Targeting the "Enterprise" Complexity: The software is specifically designed for enterprise fleets, generally starting at 200 trucks. At this scale, manual planning on whiteboards becomes inefficient. Optym solves the "utilization problem"—ensuring trucks aren't sitting idle and drivers aren't wasting hours waiting at docks—by identifying "juice to squeeze" in large, complex networks. Strategy Pivot: From TMS to Integration: Originally, Optym built its own TMS (LoadOps) to ensure data quality. However, they realized large fleets are reluctant to switch TMS providers due to operational disruption. Optym pivoted to a "Killer App" layer that integrates directly with industry standards like Trimble and McLeod, acting as a specialized intelligence layer rather than a replacement for core systems. Advanced Operational Models: Relay and "Meet & Turn": A core feature of the software is optimizing complex maneuvers like Relays (handing off trailers between drivers) and Meet & Turns (two drivers meeting at a midpoint to swap loads). By automating these schedules, fleets can keep drivers within a specific radius, allowing them to be home every night while keeping the assets moving 24/7. Bridging the "Tribal Knowledge" Gap:The industry faces a crisis as veteran planners (who "know the network in their sleep") retire. Younger, tech-savvy employees expect modern interfaces. Optym's AI captures that "tribal knowledge" and turns it into data-driven suggestions, allowing a new hire to be as productive as a 30-year veteran within a week. Proven ROI and Efficiency Gains: Shaman shares a case study of a 900-truck fleet where Optym's pilot program covered the same amount of freight using 100 fewer drivers. This represents a nearly 20% reduction in driver costs. To lower the risk for new clients, Optym offers a 5x ROI guarantee, promising to generate $5 in value for every $1 spent. Enhancing Driver Lifestyle through Predictability: Beyond the math, the software addresses the "human" element of trucking. By using AI agents to reschedule appointments based on real-time ETAs and reducing wasted "dwell time" at shippers, Optym creates a more predictable schedule. This reduces the stress and sleep deprivation that contribute to the high health risks faced by long-haul drivers.

Episode 207 with Sabine Mensah, Deputy CEO of AfricaNenda Foundation and co author of the State of Inclusive Instant Payment Systems in Africa 2025 report, one of the most comprehensive studies on Africa's digital payments infrastructure.The SIIPS 2025 report reveals the extraordinary scale of Africa's instant payments transformation, with 64 billion real time payment transactions worth nearly 2 trillion dollars processed in 2024 alone. Sabine shares what this rapid growth means for Africa's digital economy and why instant payments are no longer a fintech niche, but a core driver of trade, productivity, and financial inclusion across the continent.Drawing on insights from 31 countries, we explore why Nigeria has emerged as Africa's first fully mature instant payment system, the governance and interoperability decisions behind NIBSS's success, and the critical lessons other African markets must learn to scale inclusive payment infrastructure.The conversation dives into how instant payments are reshaping cross border trade, remittances, and SME cash flow, why payment systems are foundational to AfCFTA success, and how real time payments unlock faster settlement, liquidity, and growth for African businesses. Sabine also explains why scale alone does not guarantee inclusion, highlighting the importance of trust, consumer protection, and system design in driving sustained adoption.What We Discuss With SabineWhy instant payments have become the backbone of Africa's digital economy and a prerequisite for trade, growth, and financial inclusionHow Nigeria became the first African country to achieve a fully mature instant payment system and what other markets can learn from its governance and interoperability modelThe role of real time payments in transforming cross border trade, remittances, and SME cash flow under AfCFTAWhy scale alone does not equal inclusion and how trust, consumer protection, and system design shape who benefits from digital paymentsInstant payments as digital public infrastructure and what policymakers, investors, and founders must do now to unlock Africa's next decade of economic growthDid you miss my previous episode where I discuss Unlocking Diaspora Wealth: How Housing Investment Is Driving African Development?

EPISODE OVERVIEW What responsibility does business have in shaping the kind of country we want to be? In this episode of the For Love & Money Podcast, I'm joined by Sarah Sheridan, Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of Clothing The Gaps — a certified Aboriginal business, social enterprise and B Corp that uses fashion as a platform for truth-telling, education and First Nations justice. Sarah shares her personal journey from well-intentioned activism to deep accountability, and the realities of building a purpose-led business that must also be commercially sustainable to endure. We talk candidly about the challenges of rapid growth, reshaping a business after COVID, and why purpose is not a magic pill — it demands better leadership, clearer focus and tougher decisions. At the heart of this conversation is the Not a Date to Celebrate campaign, and a powerful exploration of why celebrating January 26 as Australia's national day remains deeply painful for First Nations people — and what role business can play in advocating for a more inclusive national story. This is a grounded, honest and hopeful conversation about love in business — not as a soft idea, but as a force that requires courage, responsibility and action. IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE Why Sarah believes love must be central to business, activism and leadership What it really takes to build a purpose-led business that can survive and scale The tension between impact and commercial sustainability — and why both matter Why January 26 is not a date to celebrate for Australia Day, and how the narrative can change with an alternative national day of unity The Not a Date to Celebrate campaign and how businesses can get involved Allyship, fear of “getting it wrong,” and how to move forward responsibly Future dreaming: What Australia could look like in ten years if we choose a more inclusive story ABOUT SARAH SHERIDAN Sarah Sheridan is the Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of Clothing The Gaps, a Melbourne-based streetwear label and social enterprise that champions Aboriginal people, culture and justice through fashion. A certified Aboriginal business, social enterprise and B Corp, Clothing The Gaps is widely known for its role in national conversations around truth-telling, allyship and the movement to change the date of Australia Day.

In this episode, Dave and Dharm welcome back Ziad Nassar, Deputy CEO of Huspy, one year after his first appearance on the show. And what a difference a year makes. Ziad shares how Huspy has evolved from a UAE-based mortgage innovator into one of the fastest-scaling proptechs in EMEA, now active across the UAE and Spain with expansion under way in Saudi Arabia. Backed by a US $59 million Series B round led by Balderton Capital, Huspy is pursuing an ambitious mission: empowering the people who serve homebuyers and sellers. The conversation explores: Why Huspy focuses on enabling agents and mortgage brokers—the professionals closest to homebuyers and sellers—through technology, training, and fairer rewards. The logic behind expanding to Spain, and the company's disciplined playbook for entering new markets. How AI is transforming property discovery and agent productivity—from natural-language search (“find me a Georgian-style home near London with a vet nearby”) to smart tools that augment rather than replace human expertise.
