Episode Notes In this episode of Sunday Edition, Anthony sits down with Gabriel Habech, the co-creator of Fovionics, to dive deep into the story behind a revolutionary piece of wearable tech designed for the blind and low vision community. Gabriel shares how he and his co-founder first met while studying engineering at FIU and began collaborating on ways to use technology for real-world impact. Inspired by Gabriel's close family friend Augusto — who lost his vision at age 7 — the two began exploring solutions that address challenges canes alone can't solve. The result: Fovionics smart glasses, equipped with innovative object detection sensors and an AI companion built specifically with feedback from our community. During this insightful conversation, Anthony and Gabriel walk through the development process step-by-step, answer listener questions, and unpack how Fovionics is the first to use this specific type of sensor in smart glasses, allowing for detection of hazards like low-hanging branches and signage — often missed by traditional mobility tools. They also discuss the real cost of access technology, how Fovionics' subscription model can help ease financial barriers, and why early community involvement is essential. With only 200 Early Adopter slots available and about 30% already filled, there's still a chance to help shape a tool that could transform lives — making it more responsive, intuitive, and affordable. If you're interested in being part of this exciting project, visit the links below: - Early Adopter Program - Interest Form The episode also explores the fascinating eye-to-brain and ear-to-brain connection, and how artificial intelligence and sensory input are getting us closer to real-time, adaptive tools — while acknowledging there's still more progress to be made.

Im Gespräch mit Christoph Völzke, Supervisor für Produkt- und Unternehmenskommunikation bei Mazda Deutschland, ging es nicht nur um Modelle und Motoren, sondern vor allem um Haltung, Strategie und das Spannungsfeld zwischen technologischem Fortschritt und ressourcenschonendem Denken. Christoph ist seit gut zweieinhalb Jahren bei Mazda und bringt fundierte Erfahrung aus der Automobilkommunikation mit. Mit ihm habe ich unter anderem über den Einstieg von Mazda in die Elektromobilität gesprochen – und den MX-30, das erste reine Elektroauto der Marke. Der kompakte Stromer setzte auf Right-Sizing, also bewusst kleine Akkus, um Ressourcen zu sparen. „Es geht nicht nur darum, wie man von A nach B kommt, sondern welche Ressourcen man für die Produktion überhaupt braucht“, erklärte Christoph. Der MX-30 sei ein guter Start gewesen, werde aber nun nicht mehr fortgeführt. Stattdessen hat Mazda mit dem neuen Mazda 6e die nächste Evolutionsstufe gezündet. Der Mazda 6e ist ein Schrägheckmodell mit zwei Batterievarianten (68,8 und 80 kWh), WLTP-Reichweiten von bis zu 552 Kilometern und klarer Positionierung im oberen Kompaktsegment. Gebaut wird das Modell im Joint Venture mit ChangAn in China. Der Einstiegspreis liegt bei 44.900 Euro. „Für das, was man serienmäßig bekommt, ein sehr gutes Angebot“, wie Christoph betonte. Neben der konkreten Produktoffensive ging es im Gespräch auch um Mazdas Multi-Solution-Ansatz – eine Art technologieoffene Roadmap. Mazda setzt dabei nicht einseitig auf batterieelektrische Autos, sondern bietet weiterhin effiziente Verbrenner, Plug-in-Hybride und Vollhybride an. Auch der serielle Plug-in-Hybrid MX-30 R-EV wurde genannt. Ein eigenes Mazda-Hybridsystem (MHS) soll ab 2027 in der nächsten Generation des CX-5 eingeführt werden. Dieser flexible Ansatz sei laut Christoph notwendig, weil Märkte wie die USA, Australien oder Teile Asiens andere Anforderungen hätten als Europa. Dabei wolle man aber keine Kompromisse bei Effizienz und Ressourcennutzung eingehen. „Durch gemischte Produktionslinien und starke Partnerschaften wie mit Panasonic Energy schaffen wir die Balance zwischen Flexibilität und schlanker Ressourcennutzung“, so Christoph. Mazda plant, von 2025 bis 2027 einen „Übergang zur Elektrifizierung“ zu gestalten und dann zwischen 2028 und 2030 die Einführung weiterer BEVs deutlich zu beschleunigen. Dass gerade chinesische Marken den europäischen Markt unter Druck setzen, nimmt Mazda ernst. Christoph sieht die Stärke der Marke jedoch in Design, technischer Innovation und einem Angebot, das eben nicht nur für die Early Adopters der Elektromobilität gedacht ist: „Wir können auch Kunden abholen, die noch nicht bereit sind, komplett auf ein Elektroauto umzusteigen.“ Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch eintauchen.

Nach längerer Pause endlich wieder eine Folge aus dem Modern Workplace – und ja, Moni ist wieder dabei!

Wir haben Pa M. K. Sinyan, Managing Partner bei Gallup, genau an dem Tag zu Gast, an dem der neue “State of the Global Workforce” erscheint. Unsere wichtigsten Take‑aways für euch: 1. Weltweit engagiert nur jede*r Fünfte seine ganze Energie im Job (21%) Wir sprechen hier von rund vier Milliarden Erwerbstätigen, und vier Fünftel davon fühlen sich emotional kaum verbunden, ein gigantischer Pool an ungenutzter Produktivität, Innovationsfreude und Lebensqualität. 2. Deutschland rutscht ab, das Engagement beträgt nur noch 9% Von 14% (2019) auf 9%: Nur jede*r Zehnte ist hierzulande noch mit Herz und Verstand bei der Arbeit. Das spüren wir in stagnierender Innovationskraft, hoher Wechselbereitschaft und steigender Krankheitsquote. 3. Führungskräfte brennen aus, besonders die jungen und weiblichen Gallup verzeichnet den stärksten Wohlfühl-Einbruch genau bei den Personen, die Teams leiten sollen. Junge Leaderinnen jonglieren Karriereaufbau, Remote-Komplexität und rasant neue Tech-Themen; weibliche Führungskräfte tragen oft zusätzliche Care-Lasten. 4. Onboarding‑Alarm: 40% der New Hires suchen nach weniger als 12 Monaten das Weite Wir investieren viel in Recruiting und verlieren die Talente, bevor sie wirklich Wert stiften. Fehlende klare Erwartungen, zu wenig persönliches Feedback und Remote‑Isolation wirken wie Austritts Beschleuniger. Pa mahnt: Wer die erste Lernkurve begleitet, bindet, wer sie verpasst, zahlt doppelt. 5. HRler*innen lieben ihren Job fühlen sich aber machtlos 87% der HR-Profis brennen für People-Themen, doch nur 17% spüren echten Einfluss. Die Folge: Gute Initiativen verhallen, wenn sie nicht mit Kennzahlen untermauert sind. 5. KI‑Gap in Deutschland: Nutzung ja, Skill‑Aufbau nein Über die Hälfte der Beschäftigten hat KI-Tools ausprobiert, doch nur ein Drittel bekommt Hilfe, diese Fähigkeiten strategisch auszubauen. Das verstärkt Ängste (“ersetzbar?”) statt Chancen (“entlastet!”). Ohne systematische Qualifizierung entsteht eine Zwei‑Klassen‑Workforce aus Early Adopter*innen und Verunsicherten. ​ 6. Mut schlägt Mittelmaß, VAE mit 28% Engagement Während wir in Deutschland bei 9% kleben, erzielen die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate fast das Dreifache. Pa erklärt den Vorsprung mit einer "Achievement- Culture", klaren Zielen und schneller Adoption neuer Technologien. Das zeigt: Rahmenbedingungen sind wichtig, aber Leadership-Mindset und Risikofreude machen den Unterschied. ​ 7. Was nehmen wir mit: Wir feiern Pa Sinyans Klartext, weil er zeigt, wie viel Potenzial in guter Führung, datengetriebenen HR und einer mutigen Lernkultur steckt. Unsere Challenge an alle Hörer*innen: Nutzt die Freiräume, die Technologie & New‑Work‑Modelle bieten, um echte Verbindung, Vertrauen und Wachstum zu entfesseln, dann wird aus “good, bad & ugly” vielleicht bald “good, better, awesome”.

I spoke earlier this morning on the massive discounts being offered by MG MotorAustralia on its electric MG4 hatchback for the month of December. The five-model range carrying discounts of up to $10,910 - the entry Excite 51 model nowjust $32,990 drive-away. With a 10-year warranty and a high level of equipment it’sa very compelling offer. However, this race to the bottom with pricing gives littlethought to the customers who paid much higher prices earlier in the year. As along time car industry figure said to me this week early MG 4 customers will payheavily at trade in time. With EVs now being heavily discounted low resale valuesare something that many early adopters of electric cars are now finding, andmany dealers will now not offer a trade-in price for example on older Teslamodels.

Join us for this look into materials chemistry, developed under the guiding principles of sustainability and a systems approach.Dr. Zlatka Stoeva, Co-founder and Managing Director of DZP Technologies, discovered her love of chemistry out of boredom as a child. She then traveled to unknown lands to master her science and discover the value of mentors while doing amazing work on lithium-ion battery chemistry. A stint in the technology transfer office at Cambridge showed her how fundamental research can be translated into real-world solutions that can change lives, and this inspired her to start her own company.In providing CRO services and developing IP to help companies address market needs using unique materials, Stoeva and her colleagues approach problems with a systems mindset that is common in engineering, but not always chemistry. We hear about their work in “plastic electronics” that leverage biological materials and consider sustainability aspects while delivering results. We also hear about their exciting work using graphene materials to produce digitized materials that can code information about how they're made and their interactions with the environment.Check out this great episode that balances a wonderful personal story, amazing science, and great bits of advice to guide your science and career development!Related episodes:Season 5, Ep.1: Batteries unplugged: past, present and the electrifying futureSeason 4, Ep.4: Women in chemistry: learnings from one of the greatestSeason 4, Ep.2: The father of green chemistrySeason 3, Ep.9: Energy harvesting and self-sustainable greenhousesSeason 2, Ep.8: Sustainability as an entrepreneurial choiceSeason 2, Ep.3: Rethinking catalysisBonus content!Access bonus content curated by this episode's guest by visiting www.thermofisher.com/chemistry-podcast for links to recent publications, podcasts, books, videos and more.View the video of this episode on www.thermofisher.com/chemistry-podcast.A free thank you gift for our listeners!Request your free Bringing Chemistry to Life t-shirt on our episode website.Use code cHeMcas+ng in October and KemThrReDs in November.

Initially, she was working in day-to-day ops of the nonprofit. Had to build the internal ops and make it more of a community focused organization.   Still needs to be a business, with business structure. You have to grow operational efficiency, which is the key to scaling and growing a business.   There are plenty of marketing and fundraising tools and software in the marketplace. But there are a few tools to help actually manage the business. Building a good operation you have to listen and build backwards. Ask the question, what features are needed?   Communicate with members, as part of any nonprofit. Normal business, like collecting dues, invoicing, storage of documents. Also want to work with third-party tools to integrate with software you use. Cost benefit analysis for the software that have the API's for connect with third-party tools and ease of use for small business.   NEP services provides an easy on ramp to engage with your audience and build a brand.   All companies are technology companies now. You need to have IT involved in your business and know how to use technology.   UX features which are accessible and easy to do to non-tech type people. Drag and drop features to make it easy. Reduce the technology required, and encourage that step into the future. Making it easy, and non-threatening for non-tech people to adopt.   If a current nonprofit has 50 K members, that's a huge data set. If you add onto that another 50 K donor list, it's lots of data. Some handholding may be needed as there could be hesitation moving from an old system to a new system like NEP. The tech revolution is here and businesses need to adapt to survive.   It's always a challenge by tech companies that they need to listen more and help customers. Customer service part needs to be better. NEP services answers the phone you'll always talk with people in customer service.   Seg 4   Staci‘s on the road often meeting with customers. Emotional challenge of older businesses to adopt new technology.   Room for improvement with the customer service model in Big tech.   Often there is little onboarding support with software companies. NEP services is proud of their 97% retention rate. They have a listening culture and are customer obsessed.   Most businesses have different audience demos that they need to put messages in front of. This could be 3 to 4. How do you reach your core audience?   For example, audience demos can change. Members of unions are actually getting younger. They need a different message than the past. Work on your current systems to upgrade. NEP services offers communication with Connect Plus. Can buy in pieces and adopt slower.   People adopting technology need to be honest about where they're at and where their brand is. Determine what tools are needed in the next 5 years. Typically it's a 1 to 2 month transition with the Connect Plus and NEP products.   You have to organize your data sets, your member list, and your donor list. Good data in, equals good results. Opposite is true if you put bad data in.

Will AI be the key to unlocking unparalleled human potential in the workplace or a threat to our very existence? This week, I'm digging into this, one of the most pressing questions of our time, with with Arjun Nagendran, founder of Relative AI. However, our conversation goes even deeper, tackling the nuanced ways AI can transform how we develop skills, enhance communication, and foster genuine human relationships. Arjun brought it with his dynamic experience at the intersection of robotics and AI, sharing insights from his work with the U.S. Navy and the Gates Foundation. We unpack how organizations can leverage AI to not only streamline processes but also to unlock hidden potential within their teams, sharing many real-world applications, such as how to use AI to analyze conversations at scale, predicting outcomes based on human psychology and linguistics, and improving employee engagement through data-driven strategies. However, like so many of my conversations, we go far beyond the technical details. There was a heavy focus on the human side of AI integration, reinforcing the importance of empathy, communication, and teamwork. We highlighted how AI can help us understand and enhance soft/power skills, leading to more cohesive and effective teams. I think any business leader, HR professional, or, quite frankly, anyone interested in the future of work will walk away with something. With that, listen in as we challenge the conventional wisdom about AI and explore its potential to create a more connected, efficient, and human-centered workplace. As always, it's my aim to keep you ten steps ahead in the rapidly evolving landscape of business and technology. Show Notes: In this episode, Christopher digs into the intricacies of using AI for skills and human connection with Arjun Nagendran, founder of Relative AI. They emphasize the strategic use of AI to mitigate organizational problems and enhance workforce skills. Arjun shares insights from his diverse background in robotics, virtual reality, and AI, highlighting how organizations can leverage data to solve practical problems, improve sales processes, and foster teamwork. They also explore the potential and limitations of large language models and the importance of specialized AI for achieving competitive advantages. The conversation provides valuable advice for organizations contemplating their AI strategies and the critical role of data and context in successful AI implementations. 00:00 - Introduction 01:14 - Arjun Nagendran: From Robotics to AI Innovations 04:50 - Exploring the Power of Language in AI and Human Interaction 12:42 - Unpacking the Potential of Conversational Data with AI 22:09 - Specialized AI: Beyond Generic Models to Tailored Solutions 27:59 - Strategic Applications of AI: Business Insights vs. People Development 32:53 - The Maturity Curve and Organizational Readiness for AI 35:35 - Effective AI Implementation Strategies 42:40 - The Risks of Mismanaging AI in Organizations 44:12 - Leveraging AI for Specialized Solutions 50:18 - Navigating the AI Landscape: A Strategic Approach 59:29 - Embracing AI: Practical Advice for Early Adopters #ai #NLP #digitaltransformation #skills #futureofwork

EARLY ADOPTER, 15min., USA Directed by Matt Szymanowski After a tech junkie's addictive research into a new technology that probes the deepest realms of consciousness nearly kills her, her partner decides to do something drastic to prove just how fragile their relationship and life really is. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12937582/ https://www.instagram.com/mattszy Get to know the filmmaker: I was inspired by the question about whether the great answers of the universe are either outside of us or within us. Most often people look outside, and their pursuits are even noble and true. And looking outside leads to great discoveries. But paradoxically these discoveries could be external manifestations of the knowledge and wisdom that is also in us. And I wanted to convey this idea in two people who stand on opposite sides of the matter, and these two people are also lovers and partners, and they accept each other regardless of there differences, however difficult it is.

Johnson is also the founder & CEO of Kernel, creator of the world's first mainstream non-invasive neuroimaging system; and OS Fund, where he invested $100M in the predictable engineering of atoms, molecules, and organisms into companies now collectively valued over $6B. He is an outdoor adventure enthusiast, pilot, and author of children's books, Code 7 and The Proto Project. 00:00 - Intro 3:45 - Biographies 5:03 - Zeroth Principles Thinking and Genius 6:24 - Vision for Blueprint: A 25th Century Perspective 7:50 - Blueprint, Entropy Reduction and Planet Earth 9:23 - Impact of Blueprint 10:47 - Gene Therapy and Breaking Through the Longevity Ceiling 12:06 - Living Longer and Compounding Gains 13:31 - Bryan's Relationship With Time 14:07 - Measuring Biological vs Chronological Age 15:05 - Encouraging Adoption, Dashboards for Society and Learning How to Swim 17:49 - Enriching vs Degrading Life and the Inevitability of Computational Intelligence 21:03 - Living Forever 22:19 - Knee-Jerk Reactions 26:03 - Free Will 28:12 - Social Drivers and Early Adopters of Blueprint 30:08 - Future of Engineering Atoms, Molecules and Organisms 32:43 - Critical Questions from Longer Lifespans 33:58 - Kernel and the Future of Brain-Computer Interfaces 36:28 - Ketamine 37:47 - Storytelling, Quantifying Reality and the Extent of the Algorithm 40:03 - OS Fund, Foundational Technologies and Architecting Reality 43:38 - Trust and God Shaped Holes 46:55 - Wealth, Effectuating Change and Competing for Legacy 48:23 - What Else Would Bryan Work On? 49:25 - What Should More People be Thinking About?

Apple's car project is dead, Tesla missed earnings, and Rivian's stock is down. So, what's going on here? We deep dive on this very topic with our guest Behzod Sirjani, our guest co-host Ravi Mehta, and of course, the one and only Fareed Mosavat!  We discuss Adjacent User Theory, the problem with Early Adopters, the risks of limited SKUs, and why Apple might want to avoid this commodity market.

We are announcing the second edition of our Latent Space demo day event in SF on 2/23: Final Frontiers, a startup and research competition in “The Autonomous Workforce”, ​”Beyond Transformers & GPUs”, and “​Embodied AI”. RSVP here! The first one was aimed for 15-20 people and ended up blowing up to >200 and covered in the Information - let's see what a year of growth (and competition) does to the local events space in 2024.You can find all Latent Space events here, and of course get in touch with us to host your own AI Engineer meetups like AI Engineering Singapore.In our December 2023 recap we covered the Four Wars of the AI stack. But how do we know when it's time to crown a winner? As we kick off 2024, we wanted to do a recap of the State of AI in 2023 to set a baseline of adoption for different products. Retool had a great report at the end of last year which covered a lot of it. David Hsu, CEO and co-founder of Retool, joined us to go over it together. We also talked about the history of Retool, why they were too embarrassed to present at YC demo day, and how they got to $1M ARR with 3 employees. If you're a founder, there are a lot of nuggets of advice in here!Retool AIIn our modeling of the “Software 3.0 Stack”, we have generally left a pretty wide open gap as to the “user interface” equivalent of the AI stack:Retool AI launched 4 months ago with some nifty features for SQL generation, and its own hosted vector storage service (using pgvector). However, as he explains on the pod, the more interesting potential of Retool is in helping developers build AI infused applications quickly, in combination with its Workflows feature. This moves Retool down the stack from just the UI for internal tooling to the business logic “piping” as well. There are a bunch of dedicated tools in this space like Respell, BuildShip, Flowise, and Ironclad Rivet."We think that practically every internal app is going to be AI infused over the next three years." - David on the podRIP StackOverflow?In July 2023 we talked about the impact of ChatGPT and Copilot:This was then disputed by StackOverflow, who pointed out (very fairly so) that there were privacy-related changes in their analytics instrumentation in 2022. StackOverflow no longer reports traffic, but based on StackOverflow's continuing transparency we can see that organic declines have continued throughout 2023.Retool's report comes over a year after those changes and has some self reported samples from users:* 57.6% of people said they have used StackOverflow less; almost all of them replaced it with ChatGPT and Copilot.* 10.2% said they no longer use StackOverflow.We also saw a lot more tools being released in the dev tools space such as (one of our oldest pod friends) Codeium (which just raised a $65M Series B), SourceGraph (and their newly released Cody), Codium AI (just released AlphaCodium which was picked up by Karpathy), Phind (which beat GPT-4 with OSS models), and Cursor, one of the most beloved products in the dev community at the moment. Intelligence is getting closer and closer to the IDE, and the trend doesn't seem to be reverting. We already said that “You are not too old (to pivot into AI)“, and the advice still stands. When asked to rate “Preference for hiring engineers effective at using ChatGPT/Copilot for coding” on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is “Much more likely”, ~40% of companies voted 8-10. Having an AI Engineer skillset is extremely important. 45% of companies between 1,000-4,999 employees said that they increased the difficulty of technical interviews to compensate for these new tools, so the gap between users and non-users will keep widening.Crossing the AI in Production ChasmGeoffrey Moore's “Crossing the Chasm” is one of the most quoted business frameworks. Every market has an initial group of Innovators and Early Adopters, who are willing to suffer through the rough edges of products initially, and eventually crosses into the Early Majority, which expects a full product.In the AI world, ChatGPT and Midjourney / DALL-E have crossed the chasm in the consumer space. Copilot is probably the only tool that did it in the enterprise, having crossed 1M paid users. ~$50B were invested in AI in 2023, and we still only have

Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with Richard Potter, CEO and Co-Founder of Peak, an AI platform that has raised $118 Million in funding. Here are the most interesting points from our conversation: The Birth of Peak in the AI Landscape: Richard discusses the early vision for Peak in 2016, focusing on leveraging AI and machine learning to enhance business performance before the widespread AI boom. Educating Early Adopters: The initial challenge was educating the market on AI's potential, with many early adopters excited but equally many skeptics unsure of AI's practicality due to the data maturity levels at the time. Transitioning from Early Adopters to Mainstream Market: Richard outlines the shift in selling to early adopters versus mainstream adopters, emphasizing the need for certainty of outcomes and robust comparisons in the mainstream market. Go-to-Market and Marketing Philosophy: Peak's approach to marketing has evolved from raising awareness and generating excitement to focusing on value creation and demonstrating tangible benefits of AI to businesses. Navigating the Tech Recession and Future Optimism: Despite the challenges posed by the recent tech downturn, Richard shares a positive outlook for Peak's future, driven by strong current demand and growth. Fundraising Strategy and Lessons Learned: Richard reflects on Peak's fundraising journey, the strategy of raising early and often without desperation, and the importance of being bold and visionary from the start.
