In this Cloud Wars Live podcast, Bob Evans sits down with Hayete Gallot, President, Google Cloud Customer Experience, to explore how Google Cloud is helping enterprises move from AI experimentation to true business transformation. Gallot describes how her organization unifies engineering, consulting, partners, and learning to accelerate time-to-value and scale agentic AI across every function. Together, they dive into Gemini Enterprise, customer successes like Virgin Voyages, and why human-centered change is the real key to AI's future.The AI Turning PointThe Big Themes:Customer Experience Built for the AI Era: Google Cloud created a new Customer Experience organization, led by Hayete Gallot, to match the speed and complexity of AI-driven transformation. Instead of treating AI as a pure technology play, the team unifies industry and solutions experts, customer engineers, consulting, partners, and learning into one group that supports the full innovation lifecycle. That means they can help customers go from idea to minimum viable product to production in a consistent, repeatable way.Ecosystem, Partners, and Curated AI Solutions: Google Cloud's ecosystem strategy is central to scaling AI transformation. Gallot describes deep investment in system integrators — not just training them on technology, but sharing methodologies and scenario-based approaches so they can guide customers toward the right AI choices. At the same time, Google Cloud works with top ISVs to embed AI into their solutions and create compatible protocols for multi-agent experiences.Structuring Tech Teams for Agentic Transformation: AI's rise is forcing technology organizations to evolve. Gallot notes that CTOs and CIOs are asking how to restructure their teams for an “agentic” world. The demand is no longer just for deep technical skills, but also people who understand user experience, behavior, and business workflows. Technology teams are increasingly expected to co-design scenarios with business leaders, not just implement requirements. Looking ahead to 2026, Gallot sees the priority as scaling agentic transformation across divisions.The Big Quote: "Customers are much more mature on AI … When you meet with them, they're [asking] what's in it for me? What am I going to get? When am I going to get it? How do I scale this? They want production, and they want outcome." Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Ritzy P has a convo with Brandi Andrews, a Black and Mexican beauty industry expert to explore the deeper layers of skincare, wellness, and representation. With twenty five years of experience, Brandi shares how her journey from a rural upbringing shaped her mission to advocate for melanated skin and build a beauty ecosystem that serves Black and Brown communities.Brandi also introduces Youth Dealer, her skincare line created to support an inclusive, holistic, and culturally aware approach to beauty. Through the lens of Youth Dealer, she explains how skincare can become a sensory, healing, and empowering ritual for people who have often been overlooked by traditional beauty systems.This conversation highlights the emotional and cultural realities within the beauty world. Brandi discusses the trauma carried in beauty and wellness spaces, the lack of representation in skincare education, and the importance of caring for the whole person rather than focusing only on the skin.She also breaks down why intersectionality matters in skincare, how sensory experiences support grounding, and why investing in small businesses led by marginalized founders is essential for the future of the beauty industry.Topics Covered:Youth Dealer and community centered skincareHolistic skincare and whole person wellnessTrauma in beauty and wellness spacesMelanin centered educationIntersectionality in beautyRepresentation and barriers in the skincare industryEntrepreneurship and community investmentCreating safe and inclusive beauty environmentsBuilding a beauty ecosystem for people of colorEPISODE LINKSBrandi AndrewsYouth DealerWTYM LINKSRitzy PeriwinkleBook Ritzy P as a SpeakerWord To Your Mama Store: Use code WTYM at check out to receive 10% off any order YouTubeMental Health ResourcesWTYM Patreon PageDONATEMEDIA KITPodcasting EssentialsWTYM was recorded using Riverside.FM TRY NOWAVAILABLE WHERE EVER YOU CONSUME PODCASTS on socials @wtymama | email: hola@wordtoyourmama.com

It's easy to blame algorithms and AI for corroding our information ecosystem, but our guest this week argues that we have a just as much, if not more of a role to play in creating the environment we want to see. Ray Block Jr. is the Brown-McCourtney Career Development Professor at Penn State and the Michael D. Rich Chair in Countering Truth Decay and RAND Corporation. He joins us to discuss the new report, "Rebalancing the Information Ecosystem and Renewing Shared Societal Commitments for Information Use," published by RAND earlier this fall. Block's scholarly research includes community organizing and social identity. You'll hear that perspective come through in this conversation, which focuses on how social fabric — not fact checking or tech policy —is the key to creating a healthy information environment and, in turn, a healthy democracy.

That early exposure to land and water shaped a life long focus on conservation. After a decade at The Conservation Fund structuring complex land deals, he co founded EIP in 2006 to answer a simple but difficult question.Can you use private capital, at scale, to restore degraded ecosystems while still meeting the financial expectations of institutional investorsOver almost twenty years, EIP has shown that the answer is yes.The firm acquires degraded land, restores wetlands, streams, and habitats, then sells mitigation credits to public and private developers that are required by law to offset their environmental impacts. It is a space where environmental protection, infrastructure, housing, and finance all intersect.In this conversation, Nick explains how mitigation banking actually works, why these markets are fully regulated and compulsory, how a new 400 million dollar fund will expand EIP's work, and why he believes more young people should bring serious financial skills into the environmental sector. ----------------------------------------Investing in Impact is powered by Causeartist, a nonprofit media company dedicated to bridging the gap between capital and culture by spotlighting founders, investors, and organizations reimagining how business can serve people and the planet.Through storytelling, events, and open-access education, Causeartist helps create a shared language of impact, inspiring more founders to build with purpose and more funders to invest with intention.By amplifying ideas and innovations across industries, Causeartist transforms awareness into action and cultivates a community where paying it forward is part of the foundation for growth.

JupyterLite, a fully browser-based distribution of JupyterLab, is enabling new levels of global scalability in technical education. Developed by Sylvain Corlay's QuantStack team, it allows math and programming lessons to run entirely in students' browsers — kernel included — without relying on Docker or cloud-scale infrastructure. Its most prominent success is Capytale, a French national deployment that supports half a million high school students and over 200,000 weekly sessions from essentially a single server, which hosts only teaching content while computation happens locally in each browser.QuantStack, founded in 2016 as what Corlay calls an “accidental startup,” has since grown into a 30-person team contributing across Jupyter, Conda-Forge, and Apache Arrow. But JupyterLite embodies its most ambitious goal: making programming education accessible to countries with rapidly growing youth populations, such as Nigeria, where traditional cloud-hosted notebooks are impractical. Achieving a billion-user future will require advances in accessibility, collaboration, and expanding browser-based package support — efforts that depend on grants and foundation backing.Learn more from The New Stack about Project JupyterFrom Physics to the Future: Brian Granger on Project Jupyter in the Age of AIJupyter AI v3: Could It Generate an ‘Ecosystem of AI Personas?'Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Andrew Lowenthal is an Australian digital rights activist, co-founder and former director of the media and technology nonprofit EngageMedia, and the founder of Liber-net, an initiative dedicated to restoring free speech online and exposing digital authoritarianism. Over many years he worked across Southeast Asia on censorship, media freedom and civil society empowerment before shifting his focus to Western democracies, where he observed a rapid expansion of state-aligned speech control. Lowenthal was also part of the Twitter Files investigations in 2022 alongside Matt Taibbi, helping uncover the networks of government agencies, academic labs, NGOs and platforms involved in coordinated content suppression. His expertise lies in mapping these ecosystems and analyzing how governments, foundations and major technology companies shape the boundaries of permissible speech.In this conversation, Andrew Lowenthal breaks down the findings of his extensive report “The Censorship Network in Germany”, created together with a team of German researchers. We discuss why Germany—despite being under the same EU framework as other member states—has developed a uniquely aggressive and institutionally intertwined censorship landscape. Lowenthal explains how more than 300 actors, from ministries to NGOs to fact-checkers, form an ecosystem that flags, moderates and shapes online discourse under the banners of “disinformation,” “hate speech,” and “threats to democracy.” We explore the financial flows behind this system, the blurring of boundaries between state and civil society, and the cultural anxieties that drive Germany's distinct approach.

The United States, United Kingdom, and Australia have imposed sanctions on the Russian hosting provider MediaLand due to its facilitation of ransomware operations. MediaLand has been linked to various cybercrime activities, including support for groups like LockBit and BlackSuit, and has been identified as a provider for cybercrime marketplaces. The sanctions freeze assets within the U.S., U.K., and Australia and expose individuals engaging in transactions with MediaLand to potential enforcement actions. This shift towards a more offensive cybersecurity strategy, as articulated by National Cyber Director Sean Caroncross, aims to impose costs on adversaries targeting U.S. critical infrastructure, reflecting a recognition that current defensive measures are insufficient.In a related initiative, a coalition of chief security officers and former officials from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has launched a campaign to combat misleading cybersecurity advice, often referred to as "hack lore." This effort emphasizes practical measures such as patching, using strong passwords, and enabling multi-factor authentication, while debunking outdated myths that distract from real threats. The coalition's focus on evidence-based guidance aims to realign cybersecurity practices with effective strategies, which is particularly relevant during high-traffic shopping seasons.Additionally, Vectra AI has introduced the Vectra AI Shield for Microsoft, designed to enhance security across Microsoft environments. This solution addresses visibility gaps in existing Microsoft security tools, particularly concerning identity-based attacks. As identity becomes a focal point for cyber threats, the demand for platforms that simplify security management within the Microsoft ecosystem is increasing. This trend underscores the need for IT providers to adapt their security strategies to include comprehensive identity detection and management.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT leaders, these developments signal a critical shift in the cybersecurity landscape. The emphasis on government intervention and offensive strategies indicates that MSPs must prepare for increased reporting requirements and a focus on governance rather than solely on tools. By aligning with evidence-based practices and enhancing their understanding of identity security, MSPs can position themselves as trusted advisors, helping clients navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape effectively. Four things to know today 00:00 Sanctions Hit a Russian Hoster While the U.S. Says It's Time for a More Aggressive Cyber Approach04:58 Security Leaders Call Out “Hacklore” — and Say It's Time to Drop Myths That Don't Stop Attacks07:31 A New Identity Security Tool Hits Microsoft's Ecosystem, and It Shows Where MSSPs Are Struggling Most09:44 NinjaOne Rolls Out MSP NXT — but MSPs Are Asking for Fewer Big Shows, Not More This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/

The integration of Splunk into the Cisco stack is a potential game-changer for channel partners who fully leverage its capabilities. From a security perspective, Splunk provides a powerful analytics platform that acts as a gold mine for partners. It allows them to move beyond simple product reselling into offering high-value services like deep threat detection, correlation, and rapid response by analyzing security data across the entire Cisco environment. Furthermore, the platform offers significant benefits from an artificial intelligence (AI) standpoint. By applying Splunk’s AI and machine learning capabilities to the massive streams of data generated by Cisco devices, partners can automate formerly manual security and operational processes. This automation drastically improves efficiency, reduces labor costs and speeds up time-to-resolution for issues, allowing partners to deliver more profitable managed and professional services and expand with a viable security proposition. A key operational advantage is the unified visibility the combined platform delivers. Through it, partners can gain comprehensive insight into an entire fleet of devices across all their customers from a single, unified dashboard. This not only shortens the time it takes to get to market with powerful monitoring and security solutions, but also provides the deep operational clarity needed to deliver effective managed services and quickly troubleshoot complex customer environments. The final significant component resides in the ease of doing business: partners can sell Splunk products through existing Cisco Enterprise Agreements (EAs) and purchasing programs, simplifying procurement for customers and making sales transactions much simpler and faster for the partner. Check out the full podcast as expert guest, Moshe Beauford breaks down the key benefits of the Splunk-Cisco play for channel partners.

Wealthy families are discovering Tennessee's legal and tax ecosystem as a key component for their long term wealth strategy. I spoke with ANDREA CHOMAKOS from Pendleton Square Trust on Tennessee around these advantages that the Tennessee Wealth Ecosystem provides in the context of other states' legal systems and economies. We cover directed trusts and Tennessee situs, and even a tip like the Community Property Trust, which is interesting in both prenuptial tax planning and estate planning contexts. https://youtu.be/CiR8eoAG-iI "The Tennessee Wealth Ecosystem" Transcript Frazer Rice (00:00.814)Welcome aboard, Andrea. Andrea Chomakos (00:03.128)Thanks, Frazer, happy to be here. Frazer Rice (00:04.696)Well, glad to have you on. Always happy to talk to friends of mine at Pendleton, talk about Tennessee and trust administration generally. Our listeners are probably pretty well versed as far as the idea of trusts, but I don't think it hurts to go and talk a little bit about what the trustee function normally entails as we talk about what is interesting about Tennessee and other jurisdictional issues. Andrea Chomakos (00:29.358)Absolutely. So Frazer, it's great to be here and share some conversation with you and your audience. While I have been in the professional fiduciary role for several years, for several decades before that, I was a practicing attorney. So I would often have conversations with my clients and drafting their documents and asking them decisions about who to appoint as a trustee. One of the very first conversations we would have is what does it mean to be a trustee? As I have now come over to the other side, broadly stating that the trustee has the responsibility to administer the trust for the sole benefit of the named trust beneficiaries in accordance with the trust terms. That seems like a lot of really big words that don't make a lot of sense to the average person. I get it. When I was practicing, a lot of my clients, their reaction would be, okay, so you're just telling me that this person is the person who makes the decisions about distributions and that's great. I can go, you know, no big deal. And the reality is, yeah, the reality is it is a big deal. Because it's more than just making distribution decisions or making them in a vacuum. You have to look at the broader picture. Frazer Rice (01:41.228)It's more than that though. Andrea Chomakos (01:55.598)But it also entails managing the trust assets and investments. It means making those important distribution decisions and understanding the impacts those are going to have not just in the short term but the long term. Filing and paying tax returns for the trust. Communicating with trust beneficiaries, providing reports and accounts. And even all of that sometimes seems like not that big of a laundry list but Let me give like an example that I ran into. Everybody loves a good example. So when I say a trustee is responsible for investing and managing all of the assets of the trust, that also means the protection and preservation of those assets. And it's incredibly common to see a trust hold some real estate, oftentimes a residence that a trustee or a beneficiary lives in. Frazer Rice (02:24.58)That'd be great. Andrea Chomakos (02:51.094)And you may say, OK, well, no big deal. Like if something happens, we'll just get it fixed. Well, it's more than that, right? You need to really understand what that means and the risks you're taking and the potential liability you're taking if you don't manage those issues in a way maybe different than you would if it was just your own house. So I was at a prior institution and that institution was serving as co-trustee with a beneficiary who resided in some trust-owned property. And lo and behold, you know, got a call from that beneficiary saying, hey, there was a leak with one of the pipes in the house. So I just went out and got some duct tape and put that around the pipe to stave off the leak, but now it's gotten really bad. And you're just sort of like, well, wait a minute. Like that's. Frazer Rice (03:34.276)Hmm. Andrea Chomakos (03:47.573)As a trustee, that's not an appropriate response to fixing a leak, it's not a roll of duct tape. So it's things like that that trustees are responsible for. Frazer Rice (04:00.004)One of the things too that's happened in modern legislation is that those three functions you talked about, the investment, the distribution, and the administration have been in many states you're able to, we like to call it bifurcate them, so that you can put an expert maybe in the investment role, maybe a family member with a corporate trustee in the distribution role, and then a corporate trustee in the administration role who, you know, they're used to doing the paperwork and the tax filings and the eye dotting and T-crossing. And in your, I guess in your experiences, we've gone through that. How have trust companies evolved to take into account this new flexibility? Andrea Chomakos (04:42.254)Absolutely, think you hit the right word. I always say the same thing, Frazier. It's a bifurcation of those duties and responsibilities. And so there are more trust companies who are embracing what we call the Directed Trust Model, where the corporate trustee is handling the administrative functions. So the reporting, the trust beneficiary communications, filing the tax returns, all of those very important functions, but ones that oftentimes are overlooked, their importance is overlooked. And other people are given the role of either distribution advisor, and sometimes the corporate trustees in these roles will make distribution decisions. But certainly the investment function is one. And as you see arise in individuals, families, using private equity for investments, other alternative investments, you see them using RIAs, multifamily offices, to manage their investments that, and those entities don't have that trustee function. There are more corporate trustees who are filling that role. And I think that we're only going to see that market increase and that demand increase. Frazer Rice (06:11.196)I don't think I could agree more with that statement. I think the idea of people having all of those functions under one umbrella really ignores just the way wealth is being managed these days, whether it's sort of peculiar assets or even, you know, regular run of the mill stocks and bonds, people have their advisors and they don't want to necessarily give that up to take advantage of trust situs and professional trustee services. Andrea Chomakos (06:21.998)Listen. Frazer Rice (06:36.524)As I talk to people around this topic, the culture of a good trustee, and especially sort of a good corporate or a good administrative trustee, there are a lot of things that go into that. In your experience, what is it that makes a good sort of corporate or administrative trustee for particular family? Andrea Chomakos (07:01.422)There's I mean, that's a great question. And it should be top of mind for all clients. Right. I think there's a couple of things. One is the institutional professionalism that a corporate trustee, independent corporate trustee provides, as well as the skill, the background and then the lack of conflict of interest. So when you think about an administrative trustee that's not managing the investments, we have no dog in that fight as they say about what's going on with the investments, how they're being managed, how they're being allocated. We, Pendleton Square and others are here to serve the beneficiaries, to facilitate communication, to help beneficiary wealth education, to continue the continuum of family values and conversations, as well as be some be a person who can sit there alongside them and educate them about the trust, about the wealth, about the impact the distributions from the trust are having on their own estate, on their own lifestyle, and really honing in on the things that they're really good at. And I think predominantly it is that being free of conflict. We don't have any other interest in the trust. Frazer Rice (08:28.252)I think the concept of staying in your lane is important. I think in the old world where the big trust companies did everything and they would allocate resources to that because doing everything required good integration and so on, it made a lot of sense. But nowadays, as we talked about the bifurcation just now, the provision of the administrative trustee functions and the distribution committees, et cetera, that feels more like an accommodation. Andrea Chomakos (08:30.913)I'm sorry. Frazer Rice (08:56.696)than a sort of focus for them. And so these trust companies that have developed, the new ones that are less worried about the investment function, that that focus is now a strength in the sense that people hire experts in that field in order to get what they need from an estate planning perspective or a site of choice, et cetera, but then to really effectuate that culture we just talked about. Andrea Chomakos (09:26.956)Yeah, I mean, think there's a couple of nuances there that you touch on that always resonate with me. And so one is. Trust business, it's a business, we all have to admit that it's a business, but is it relational or is it transactional? And at its core it's really relational. You're working alongside a family for hopefully multiple generations and as an institution you can carry forward that historic bank of knowledge in the grantor's intent, the family values as you're administering the trust. But in many larger institutions, because of just structural considerations and constraints, sometimes you have a lot of turnover in personnel. You have some loss of historic knowledge and information. And you have a compression of what it takes. not just the skills,

Shelly Palmer returns to the Futurists to share fresh insight about how AI agents will rearrange the way entertainment and news are published, distributed and monetized. Today, many of the biggest media companies are still reeling from the previous two rounds of digital disruption (web and mobile). This leaves Big Media unprepared for the biggest disruption of them all, because AI agents will soon  reconfigure their core asset: video distribution channels. This interview provides a preview of how autonomous agents will work in unison to handle tasks that previously were managed by networks of human professionals, such as media buyers, advertising managers, retail marketers, and TV programming executives.  Likely impact: a further round of unbundling as agents personalize video distribution and advertising. Timeline: this transformation begins in 2026 and will iterate rapidly during the next five years. 20th century mass media is about to go through the Big Tech blender.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 11-20-2025: Dr. Dawn discusses GLP-1 inhibitors like Zepbound and semaglutide showing unexpected benefits for addiction treatment beyond diabetes and weight loss. Patients in rehab report these drugs mute cravings for alcohol, cocaine, and cigarettes. Multiple studies show reduced substance abuse rates in users, with VA and NIH conducting trials examining brain activity and responses to triggers. With 80,000 annual drug overdose deaths and 48 million Americans having substance abuse disorders, these medications may revolutionize addiction treatment by dampening brain reward circuitry, though costs threaten healthcare budgets. A Stanford twin study found those twins assigned a vegan diet had substantially lower cholesterol, insulin, and body weight compared to their omnivore twins after several months, with LDL dropping 15mg, four pounds more weight loss, and 20% lower insulin. Dr. Dawn explains how a fungal disease decimating Central American frog populations caused 500% malaria increases in some areas. The fungus kills frogs by blocking skin electrolytes until hearts stop, eliminating tadpoles that eat mosquito larvae. Ecosystem collapses followed with algae blooms and snake population drops. She provides other examples showing how species losses affect human health, emphasizing the "one health" movement recognizing ecosystem health as fundamental to human wellbeing. An Australian study found people aged 70+ who listen to or play music regularly had 39% lower dementia rates, though causation remains uncertain. Princeton research shows music activates multiple brain regions simultaneously. Learning instruments increases gray matter, and musical memory remains intact in advanced dementia since it's stored separately from other memories. A caller discusses how modern screen-based activities provide less multisensory engagement than past social experiences like dances. Another caller describes Grover's disease causing persistent itchy skin with no known cause. Dr. Dawn recommends an elimination diet removing common allergens for one month, then reintroducing individually to identify food sensitivities triggering immune responses. Dr. Dawn explains xenotransplantation advances with genetically edited pigs beginning full-scale kidney transplant trials. Companies use CRISPR to disable genes causing immune rejection and insert human genes promoting immune tolerance. With only 10% of global kidney patients receiving organs, these could provide unlimited supply. Other innovations include kidneys with thymus tissue to teach immune tolerance and external pig liver systems as transplant bridges. She concludes noting research showing female dogs remember and prefer humans who demonstrate competence at tasks, while male dogs show no preference.

Today's poem is A dead whale can feed an entire ecosystem by Rachel Dillon.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “To ask, “What can a poem do to help?” is to gesture toward a bigger question: “What can art do?” What can literature, or music, or film, or performance, or visual art do for us, particularly when we are struggling, individually and collectively? I think art can articulate the beauty and horrors of being alive. I think it can make people feel seen and understood, and therefore less alone. I think it can bear witness to what our planet is enduring.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

Cisco's channel partner ecosystem has undergone a profound transformation following a series of announcements at its 2025 Partner Summit in San Diego. The core focus of said announcements is enabling partners in an era of artificial intelligence (AI) via edge computing and Splunk. This significant shift is driven by new AI and edge offerings (Cisco Unified Edge and Cisco IQ), which promise to provide partners with fast-tracked time to market for next-generation, Cisco-powered solutions. This move is a seismic change to how partners operate, shifting the focus from traditional hardware sales to integrated, outcome-focused solutions with AI at the center of it all. The networking giant further backed the evolution with substantial commitments in marketing spend and major investments in partner education and enablement to build expertise in AI and security. All this is set to be formalized in the upcoming Cisco 360 Partner Program, launching in 2026. We sat down with Technology Reseller News Senior Technology Reporter Moshe Beauford, who offered his expert perspective on the Cisco partner news.

Fresh out of the studio, we commemorated the 10th anniversary of the e-Conomy SEA [Southeast Asia] Report with Sapna Chadha from Google, Florian Hoppe from Bain & Company, and Cassie Wu from Temasek, celebrating a decade of tracking Southeast Asia's digital transformation. The panel reflected on the region's remarkable achievement of reaching $300 billion in GMV—exceeding the original $200 billion goal by 1.5x—alongside revenue growth of 11x over the past decade. The panellists examined pivotal themes including Southeast Asia's position as the world's most AI-curious region with three times more interest than elsewhere, the explosive rise of video commerce and the maturation of digital financial services. The conversation explored the expansion from SEA-6 to 10 ASEAN countries, the ecosystem's resilience through multiple crisis cycles, and the shift from growth-at-all-costs to sustainable profitability. The episode concludes with each panellist sharing their vision for 2030, emphasizing building trust in AI adoption, creating an inclusive AI economy that benefits SMEs alongside large platforms, and navigating the AI transition gracefully to unlock innovation while addressing employment challenges—underscoring Southeast Asia's evolution from digital catch-up player to global innovation leader rewriting the playbook for digital adoption."We set this audacious goal of 200 billion by 2025. People told us we were crazy. In 2016 when we put that ambition out there, we've actually reached 1.5x that and we've hit 300 billion. And so it's just reflective of this incredible economy." - Sapna Chadha"Indonesia e-commerce still I think is larger or about the same size as all of India e-commerce. And yet the attention tends to be a little bit veering away from Southeast Asia, but this is actually a real economic powerhouse I think for all of Asia Pacific." - Florian Hoppe"Southeast Asia as a region, as we think about digital economy adoption, we are not playing catch up anymore. In many ways we're leading the digital adoption. We're writing how digital economy, how digital adoption could look like for a population and demographic like us." - Cassie WuProfiles: Sapna Chadha, Vice President Southeast Asia and South Asia Frontier, Google Asia PacificFlorian Hoppe, Partner at Bain & CompanyCassie Wu, Director, Southeast Asia at Temaseke-Conomy SEA 2025: https://economysea.withgoogle.com/Episode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by Sapna Chadha, Florian Hoppe & Cassie Wu[01:17] 10th anniversary of e-Conomy SEA Report[03:00] Digital economy hits 300 billion, exceeding goals[04:09] Ecosystem resilience through multiple crisis cycles[06:10] Report expands from SEA-6 to ASEAN-10[08:13] Southeast Asia most underappreciated AI opportunity[09:31] Indonesia e-commerce matches all of India[10:04] Region leading digital adoption, not catching up[12:13] Cash no longer king, payments fully inverted[13:00] Revenue growth 11x over past decade[15:00] 300 billion GMV despite headwinds and tariffs[16:00] Video commerce grew 5x in three years[19:03] Digital payments north of 60% of transactions[23:32] Super apps unique to Southeast Asia ecosystem[25:45] Data center capacity growing faster than anywhere[27:01] Lower labor costs delayed AI adoption initially[31:00] Ecosystem healthier than ever before[33:08] Talent is the critical AI bottleneck[35:19] Digital infrastructure must align with green economy[39:00] Southeast Asia remains globally underappreciated[40:39] Can Southeast Asia leapfrog into AI era[43:00] ClosingPodcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

On the 8th of November, a wildfire tore through 3000 hectares of Tongariro National Park, before being extinguished four days later. The fire resulted in multiple walks in the region to be closed, including the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. However, as of today, many of these tracks have reopened. However, the full extent of the fire on the region's ecosystem is yet to be fully investigated. On Friday, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to George Perry, a Professor in the School of Environment at the University of Auckland, about this wildfire, and how detrimental this fire will be on the region's ecosystem, from what we are currently seeing
