Podcasts about digital age

Welcome to episode #996 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Christie Smith is a former senior executive at Apple, Deloitte and Accenture with over three decades of leadership experience across industries including life sciences, consumer goods and finance. She holds a doctorate in Social Work and Organizational Psychology and now leads The Humanity Studio, a leadership advisory firm focused on redefining the future of work. In her new book, Essential - How Distributed Teams, Generative AI, and Global Shifts Are Creating a New Human-Powered Leadership (along with her co-author Kelly Monahan), Christie outlines a bold new framework for leaders navigating a post-pandemic, AI-driven, decentralized world. This episode explores the urgent need for management transformation - from command-and-control to people-centered leadership - and how today's leaders must adapt to rising expectations around purpose, trust and equity. Topics include the power shift from corporations to individuals, the cultural cost of distributed work, and why organizations must stop measuring productivity and start cultivating human energy. The discussion also unpacks the psychological strain of "always-on" work cultures, the promise and peril of generative AI, and how leaders can build communities, not just companies. At its core, this conversation is about what comes after burnout… what it means to lead with humanity, design systems that elevate people, and use power responsibly in a time of profound disruption. For anyone rethinking what it means to lead, build and belong in the modern workplace, this episode offers a timely and hopeful reframing of what's possible. Enjoy the conversation...

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd rebroadcasts a powerful conversation originally aired on the Libertarian Christian Institute's Greenroom. His guest is Dr. Benj Giffone, author of House Divided: The Church, COVID, and the Digital Age. Together they examine how churches responded to government lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, asking whether the widespread embrace of Zoom worship revealed deeper theological weaknesses. From sacramental theology and the nature of embodied worship to the influence of technology and the idol of respectability, the conversation urges Christians to consider what it means for the Church to be essential.Benj, an Old Testament scholar and Presbyterian minister, brings a rich ecumenical and biblical perspective, drawing from his experience as a missionary and pastor during the pandemic in Europe. Jacob and Benj discuss everything from liturgical practices to the danger of scientism in the Church, and challenge listeners to rediscover the meaning of Christian community, embodied faith, and biblical resistance to state overreach. This is a timely and vital conversation for anyone reflecting on what the Church must reclaim before the next crisis arrives.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.com

Episode Summary:What happens when artificial intelligence is used to simulate the voice of a beloved spiritual teacher—and that voice is presented as a channelled message?In this episode, Tatiana opens a gentle but clear-hearted inquiry into the ethics of AI-generated spiritual experiences, reflecting on a growing trend she's observed: AI being used to simulate departed wisdom figures—sometimes even within a sales funnel.Referencing a public example involving the simulated voice of Ram Dass, Tatiana invites us to pause and consider what discernment looks like in this new era of spiritual technology.This episode is not a takedown. It's an inquiry—into reverence, remembrance, and what it truly means to listen for the sacred.

In this compelling episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Daniel Nalesnik, founder of Hack Chinese, to unravel the journey of building a sticky SaaS product designed to master Mandarin through spaced repetition. Daniel shares how personal frustration and a deep love for language learning fueled his transition from a full-time student in China to the founder of a thriving EdTech platform. The conversation delves into balancing product development with founder sanity, the importance of passionate work, and actionable insights for solo founders navigating slow but steady SaaS growth. From onboarding masterclass to the nuances of AI in edtech, this episode is a quiet powerhouse for anyone looking to not only attract, but truly engage – and retain – users.Key Takeaways[00:04:43] From Hobbyist to Founder: Daniel's journey from taking a night class in Mandarin to full-immersion in China, falling in love with language learning methodology.[00:07:25] Power of Spaced Repetition: Why spaced repetition is optimal for memorizing vast amounts of information—a fundamental principle behind Hack Chinese.[00:13:56] Building for Your Own Pain: Daniel built Hack Chinese to address the complexity and inefficiency he experienced with generic SRS tools, focusing on a seamless vocabulary-learning workflow.[00:19:59] The Critical First 2 Minutes: Refining onboarding to deliver immediate value, inspired by Facebook's rigorous focus on first impressions, dramatically improved conversion and activation.[00:24:29] Finding Product-Market Fit: The breakthrough came after a Mandarin language school reviewed Hack Chinese, flooding the platform with its ideal users — proof that targeted partnerships trump broad, unfocused marketing.[00:41:33] Passion vs. Pressure: Founder passion cannot be outsourced, and allowing team members to gravitate towards projects they're passionate about results in better outcomes and happier teams.Tweetable Quotes"I can pay somebody to get work done, but I cannot pay somebody for their passion." — Daniel Nalesnik"Spaced repetition isn't just a learning hack—it's a retention machine for SaaS." — Daniel Nalesnik"Onboarding is so important. You need to show the value as soon as possible—there's no waiting on that." — Daniel Nalesnik"If you have the luxury to just keep going, don't underestimate how powerful that can be." — Daniel Nalesnik"Niche down incredibly small—and just keep hammering on making that the best in the world." — Daniel Nalesnik"The longer you're in business, the more credibility you have, and marketing just gets easier." — Daniel NalesnikSaaS Leadership LessonsRelentless Clarity of Purpose: Stay deeply connected to the "why" behind your product. Daniel's unwavering focus on solving his own learning pain points resulted in a tool with true product-market fit.Accelerate Early Value: The first moments in your app—or company—matter more than most founders think. Ruthlessly optimize for early wins in onboarding.Niche Down, Then Go Deep: Don't be afraid to focus tightly on a subset of user needs. Specialization breeds depth, loyalty, and real transformation.Embrace Slow, Steady Growth: Most overnight successes have years of invisible persistence behind them. Consistency and the willingness to keep going are more powerful than any growth hack.Hire for Passion: The energy, resilience, and innovation brought by passionate contributors cannot be bought. Structure your team so people work on what excites them.Continuous Iteration > Perfection:...

Episode 253: Desjardins thought its cooperative roots made it member-first by default. Then members started leaving. Desjardins is a 125-year-old financial co-op based in Quebec. It has deep community ties and a proud history. But that pride masked a painful truth: Members no longer saw it as customer-centric. The organization believed its cooperative structure guaranteed loyalty—until low NPS scores and rising member churn showed otherwise. Mathieu Staniulis and Séverine Clairet recount how Desjardins confronted its own mythology, restructured governance, and began treating feedback as a system, not a score. Desjardins' wake-up call came in the early 2010s. Despite its co-op status, members said the experience felt disjointed. Branches operated as near-independent entities. “It was really difficult to see the full scope of our company because we were presenting ourselves as different companies,” says Mathieu. CEO Guy Cormier led a bold move: unifying the 17 siloed organizations within Desjardins under a single governance structure. But structure alone wasn't enough. Internally, CX, risk, and profit still pulled in different directions. As Mathieu puts it,  “People in charge of customer experience only talk about customer experience and NPS. People in P&L ownership talk about their performance—their bottom line. How can they improve their performance, especially on the financial metrics? And then you have the risk people trying to manage risk and deal with regulators always bringing new regulations, especially in the financial industry. And I believe we have to find a way to work together to balance customer experience, efficiency or financial metrics, and risk management.” The challenge became about integrating those forces to make balanced, member-first decisions—without sacrificing performance. Now Desjardins faces a new frontier: recreating intimacy in a digital world. Transactions moved online. But financial advice—the core of trust and loyalty—remains unsolved. The question, Mathieu says, is urgent and unanswered: “How do we bring advice into a digital world?” Guests: Mathieu Staniulis, Vice President, Products, Solutions & Digital, and Chief Transformation Officer | Séverine Clairet, Vice President Customer Experience & Marketing Strategy, Desjardins Host: Rob Markey, Partner, Bain & Company Give us feedback: Customer Confidential Podcast Feedback Send us a note: Contact Rob Time-Stamped Topics 00:01 – A logout button reveals blind spots in member experience 00:04 – Desjardins' founding story: community aid in a kitchen 00:06 – “Member-owned” in theory vs. practice across 17 silos 00:08 – How Guy Cormier unified Desjardins under one governance model 00:09 – Why NPS lagged despite a strong co-op identity 00:12 – “The S means system”: transforming how feedback drives action 00:15 – Balancing CX, P&L, and risk without silos 00:18 – The call center debate: cost now vs. loyalty later 00:20 – Journey teams as a model for cross-functional accountability 00:21 – Digital did the easy part, so what comes next? 00:22 – Can “digital” be intimate? The next frontier for co-ops Notable Quotes [15:00] ​​ “It was really difficult to see the full scope of our company because we were presenting ourselves as different companies. … We had to pivot from working together, but in silos.”  [16:00] “We believe we're member-focused, but we were lagging in NPS. We were also losing membership, so we had to pivot and change all of that, changing the way we look internally at our performance, raising NPS as the top KPI for our company.” [16:00] “That's the equation of NPS. Buying more, referring more, and staying longer mean more profitability. For P&L, it means better risk management, because there's a tendency to lower your risk when you have loyal customers with you. So you have to bring that all together.” [17:00]  “We were very proud of Desjardins, especially in the Quebec market. In some lines of products, we have almost 40% market share. You will see a branch of Desjardins in every town. It's deep in our roots.” Additional Resources Read Bain's case study, From Laggard to Leader: Desjardins Evolves Member Centricity for the Digital Age: https://www.bain.com/client-results/from-laggard-to-leader-desjardins-evolves-member-centricity-for-the-digital-age/

Rosalia Rivera, a fervent Founder and Co-Founder for Consent Parenting and Brave Movement.org joins us to dissect the multifaceted challenges of raising children in a tech-saturated era. Together, we discuss the urgent issue of online harm regarding the lack of tech transparency of CSAM, (Child Sexual Abuse Material) sexploitation of teens and youth being targets through online apps, social media platforms and online gaming. By describing the internet and the app store to a bustling mall that kids can actively browse and instantly download, without any age gating or device age regulation, we underscore the need for parental vigilance and legislative measures like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) to shield our youth from unintended digital dangers and predatory harms. Our conversation emphasizes the critical role parents, our communities and our non-profits continue to advocate for tech KOSA policy, which was a supported issue by both parties of Congress in 2024, but has since been sidelined. However, with the proliferation of AI Sexual Content on the rise, KOSA and AI safety regulation need to be that play a vital role in the digital landscape as we are moving faster into the AI stratosphere. As we both do support technology as critical tools to help our daily lives, we turn our attention to the innovative technologies and organizations dedicated to child safety, such as BARK PHONES, THORN and HEAT. Companies like Bark and Pinwheel offer phone solutions alternatives for monitoring digital interactions, while organizations such as Thorne, Heat and Child Rescue Coalition work tirelessly to combat child exploitation. The discussion pivots to our own tech habits and the powerful influence they wield on our children. By advocating for mindful technology use and supporting companies that prioritize child safety, we encourage listeners to take an active role in shaping a safer digital future for all.

The data is quite conclusive: young people around the world are struggling. Research and books such as The Anxious Generation highlight the negative effects of technology and social networks on our students.We also know that two common themes in international schools are academic pressure and high expectations for students applying to university.On a more positive note, we are seeing a growing trend of schools placing greater emphasis on a holistic approach to supporting students.In this interview, we learn how the Dean of Students at one school helps lead and coordinate efforts to stay ahead of these trends.We speak with Andy Vaughan, a Dean of Students at an international school, about his role in providing leadership to help students develop the life skills needed to overcome struggles and chart their pathway toward full and healthy lives.Andy is a Kiwi who has been living overseas with his family for the past 20 years teaching and leading in South East Asia. Currently working at the High School Dean of Students at International School Bangkok, Andy was previously the Athletics Director at ISB and in the past has taught Physical Education, Science, Health and Outdoor Education. He is passionate about establishing systems in schools that proactively ensure we support student well being to ensure all students feel like they belong and are cared for.Our guiding questions were: “What does a Dean of Students do? How has the role of Dean of Students evolved over time? What trends are you observing around this role in international schools going forward?”Here are a few of the topics covered in this episode:The impetus for and evolution of the Dean of Students role at Andy's schoolA breakdown of the job descriptionThe importance of using data to support studentsLessons learned from the roleObservations about digital wellnessAdvice on how to move into leadership positionsTrends in the role of Dean of Students and in international schools in generalResources shared in this episode: Mario Education Google Looker StudioParenting in the Digital Age & Family Wellness Workshop (Slideshow) The show was recorded on June 22, 2025.Categories: School Life | Parenting | Wellness Remember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information and consider joining our Patreon community at patreon/educatorsgoingglobal!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

Co-Host Peter Moore (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/petermoore) There is much talk about the so-called Pandemic of Loneliness going on nowadays in post-modern culture. My first-time guest Peter Moore is the former editor of Men's Health Magazine and currently a columnist, writer and illustrator. Once his kids became teenagers doing their own thing and having left the Magazine, one day Peter woke up and realized he didn't have any close friends anymore, and it sucked. So what did he do about it? Well, in a world where more men have fewer close friends than ever before, Peter knew he needed a strategy? What was it? And what is it we actually need from male friendships nowadays? What do men build friendships around nowadays? And what about combatting loneliness in The Digital Age? What should we do if we have fallen into the trap of replacing IRL relationships with social media and porn? And what about AI? We already know that's no real substitute for human interaction...right? Above and beyond social skills, what really bonds people together to form close friendships? What are the key differences between how men and women build relationships, and how can we make best use of those dynamics? What do you do if you don't drink, given so many guys go out and have a beer together? How can we get our of our comfort/familiarity zone if that's what's holding us back from meeting people? And hey...why is it that all nutjob serial killers and the like always tend to be "loners"? Remember, all of the full episodes are now available on VIDEO now as well.

In an age where customers can switch banks with just a few taps on their smartphones, loyalty has shifted from being a nice-to-have marketing tactic to a business-critical survival strategy. Today's banking customers don't just want rewards—they seek relevance, personalization, and experiences that fit seamlessly into their daily routines. This shift represents more than just changing customer preferences; it's a fundamental reimagining of how financial institutions create value and foster lasting relationships. Traditional banks are grappling with legacy systems that were never designed for the dynamic, real-time engagement that modern loyalty programs demand, while nimble fintech competitors are building loyalty into their DNA from the outset. Today on Banking Transformed, we explore the future of retail banking loyalty with Carson Kotnyek, VP and Head of Loyalty and Ecosystems at Zafin, who will share insights on how traditional banks can bridge the innovation gap and build loyalty programs that don't just retain customers – but turn them into passionate advocates. This episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by Zafin Zafin's Loyalty Rewards capability helps banks deepen customer engagement by rewarding behaviors across the entire banking journey, not just their transactions and spends. It offers behavior-based incentives, flexible point strategies, and personalized rewards, moving beyond traditional spend-based models. With seamless integration and real-time analytics, banks can optimize loyalty programs to enhance customer lifetime value and drive sustainable growth.

Can disinformation really take down a democracy from the inside? This week's guest, Barbara McQuade, thinks so — and she's here to show us exactly how it's happening and what we can do about it.Barbara is a former U.S. Attorney, a law professor, an MSNBC legal analyst and the author of Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America, now out in paperback.We begin with breaking news that could directly affect our political landscape. A big chunk of the MAGA faithful are suddenly side-eyeing Trump over his failure to drop the long-promised Epstein file (does the public have a right to see it? Barbara has thoughts). She breaks down how our American system relies on the good faith of three branches — and what happens when any one of them stops playing by the rules.Barbara explains the Squid Strategy: imagine a squid firing ink at a predator to obfuscate and slip away: that's Trump making wild statements to change the subject when the heat is on. We talk about the liar's dividend, that neat trick where so much fake news is swirling that important facts get waved away.She pulls back the curtain on how Trump built the coalition that resulted in the Big Harmful Bill. It consists of: a working-class MAGA base, the evangelical right, and billionaires. Trump does the bidding of big business while kissing up to Christian Extremists and feeding his base conspiracy theories that keep them eating their rage right out of his hand.Barbara does find hope in history: other countries have seen strongmen rise and fall when the promises ran dry and the citizens remained vigilant. She gives us her best advice for cracking Trump's hold on friends and family (it involves empathetic listening, not doomscrolling).We also get into Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — mend it, don't end it — and why unregulated social media is the Wild West. We talk spon-con, paywalls, knowledge gaps, and how your news feed might be failing you.A cautionary tale, a civics lesson, and a pep talk all rolled into one, strap in, there's still time to fight the ink cloud!In recommendations--Weezy: The series Outrageous on BritboxFritz: Apple TV+ Documentary, Bono: Stories of Surrender Path Points of Interest:Barbara McQuadeAttack From Within by Barbara McQuadeSisters-In-Law Podcastwith Barbara McQuade, Jill Wine Banks, Joyce Vance and Kimberly Atkins StohrBarbara McQuade on WikipediaBarbara McQuade on InstagramBarbara McQuade on XOutrageous on BritboxBono: Stories of Surrender on Apple TV+

Doomscrolling, algorithms, artificial intelligence—these concepts have become so familiar to us and such a part of our everyday monotony that they've become jokes. But Nicholas Carr isn't laughing.  Carr's work in tech journalism has given him a front-row seat to watch the shift of culture around technology over the last decade. His recent book, Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart, explores his observations—and the news isn't great. Online platforms and algorithms seem to know us better than our churches, families, or friends do—especially when the products we glanced at for a fleeting moment now fill our timelines and social media feeds. But we already knew that, right?  And still we face obstacles to capture our own conscious minds. Carr's work is a call for a cultural revolution to reclaim the human experience from the clutches of technology. Especially when what's at stake is the understanding of community, which finds its roots in the ability to focus to form empathy for others. This conversation shines a light on the profound need for deeper connections and the importance of attention in fostering meaningful relationships. Moore and Carr also talk about the mirage of screens as socialization, an AI priest (whose story doesn't end well), positive outcomes from machines and technology (gasp! Is it possible?), and the way separating from technology might feel an awful lot like excommunication.  If you need to be emboldened to cut your screen time or make a change in the way you use technology for your sake and the sake of future generations, this conversation may be the thing you need.
