Michael Berkowitz, a longtime ad tech veteran with experience at Spiny, BERT, Lotomy, and MediaMath, joins AdTechGod to share his journey from journalism to ad tech leadership. He reflects on the industry's transformation, the growing sophistication of publishers, and how innovation has shifted from the U.S. to Europe. Michael discusses the risks publishers face in adopting new technology, the overuse of AI in marketing, and his belief that meaningful solutions, not buzzwords, will drive the next phase of growth. He also introduces Ad Aid, his concept for a more purposeful ad experience that benefits users and supports charitable causes. Takeaways Michael's unique path from journalism and PR to ad tech has given him a deep perspective on media and technology convergence. Many European ad tech companies are now innovating beyond their U.S. counterparts. Publishers face challenges in adopting new tech due to risk aversion and complex decision-making structures. AI's current role in ad tech is largely overhyped; its true impact is still years away. The sell side remains essential to the ad tech ecosystem and deserves continued support. Ad Aid aims to create a more positive user experience by tying ad engagement to charitable contributions. Social media fatigue is helping publishers regain audience attention and rebuild trust. Experience in the industry remains valuable, even as age bias persists in hiring. The future of ad tech depends on balancing innovation with authenticity and audience respect.

In this inspiring episode of The Enterprise Sessions, Professor Michele Barbour sits down with Dr. Camilla Morelli, a senior lecturer in social anthropology at the University of Bristol, whose groundbreaking work with indigenous youth in the Amazon rainforest has taken an unexpected and powerful turn toward enterprise.  What begins as immersive ethnographic research with the Matses people of Peru evolves into a creative collaboration that empowers young people to tell their own stories through animation. Camilla shares how her passion for understanding childhood in rainforest communities led to co-produced films that are now shaping policy, influencing global youth agencies, and opening doors to commercial opportunities.  

A core component of what Christina Bisanz, CEO of CHATS, focuses on is understanding the caregiver perspective and the pressures that come with it. By listening to the experiences of caregivers, the programs and services offered by CHATS reflect their voices and respond to their needs.   "Caregivers really are the unsung heroes of our health system. If not for the presence and support that is being provided by informal caregivers, our health system could likely collapse," Christina explains. Christina also tells us about CHATS' Assisted Living for High-Risk Adults program and CIBPA Place, York Region's first not-for-profit Overnight Respite Care Centre for short-term stays. She also explains how caregivers and services provided for older adults support the health system as a whole and helps take pressure off other areas such as emergency departments. Quotables: "We believe aging should never mean that an individual loses their dignity, or their choice, or their agency on how they're able to live their lives." – CB "The other thing about empowerment is that it really does foster resilience and helps combat isolation that too many older adults are facing in our communities." – CB "The pressure on emergency rooms would increase tremendously if we didn't have informal caregivers helping to keep people home, helping to keep their loved ones able to meet medical appointments, and be socially involved." – CB "One of the concepts that stuck with me is the idea that aging isn't a problem to solve, it really is a journey to support." – CB "Innovation doesn't always mean the latest piece of technology, or the newest cell phone or AI, it often means rethinking how we listen and how we collaborate with others in our communities." – CB "At CHATS we have engrained innovation as part of our culture and we're always empowering our staff to bring forward ideas and pilot new models and also to learn from failure." - CB Mentioned in this Episode: -              CHATS -              CIBPA Place -              Care As One -              Amy Coupal -              Dr. Samir K.

Episode 62 – Self-worth: the most important journey you'll ever take        Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're talking about something that is incredibly close to my heart – and that's self-worth.         Personally I've been on a self-worth journey for a while, but 2025 has been the year that I really committed much more to it. I've researched what self-worth really means, I've experimented with different ways of nurturing it, but – most importantly – I've started talking about it.   And that is where the real change started happening for me. It's been amazing.     So, now I've started talking about it, I don't want to stop! Through my LinkedIn newsletter The Monthly POP to my socials, my personal emails to my brand new book, I'm opening up on my self-worth journey so I can help as many people as I can.   Because I know just how much of a gamechanger it can be.   And our guests will also be sharing their own experiences with me today. They'll be discussing what self-worth means, and why it's so important. They'll be shining a light on the dangers of comparison and the impact of social media on self-worth. And they'll be sharing their advice for getting out of your own way, and learning to accept and love yourself for who you really are.     IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.14] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Dave – Speaker, author and Miracle On The Hudson Survivor ·       Maureen – Hair stylist and makeup artist for film and TV   ·       Katie – Senior Vice President of Industry Relations and Strategic Initiatives at Manifest ·       Sarah – Founder and CEO of Ask A Concierge, speaker and author   [06.09] The group discuss what self-worth means to them, the different factors that build self-worth, and some of the issues that can impact it.   ·       Background/upbringing ·       Authenticity  ·       Confidence ·       Calm ·       Acceptance ·       Courage ·       Personal values/ethics ·       External vs internal validation ·       Clarity ·       How you show up ·       Evolution/journey  ·       Boundaries ·       Avoiding absorbing others emotions ·       Tying your self-worth to others behaviors/reactions/emotions ·       Protecting yourself ·       Expectations ·       Judgement ·       Identity   "It's about acceptance, acceptance of yourself and where you are on the journey. We're always evolving… When you fully own who you are, that's where self-worth lies." Sarah   "Self-worth is when you have the confidence and courage to live your values, whatever they are." Dave   "It's a sense of quiet confidence, that you really are enough. It's not because of what you've achieved or how others have seen you, but because of who you truly are at your core. It's been a journey for me, realizing my value doesn't rise and fall with the titles, the paychecks or the praise… Once I stopped looking for that external validation, and started trusting that inner voice, that's when everything shifted." Katie         [23.01] The panel dive deeper into identity, labels and share their 'Three C's of Self-Worth.'   ·       Pressure ·       Societal norms/social construction ·       Perspective   ·       Curiosity ·       Asking questions/learning about others ·       Negative self-talk ·       Comparison ·       Role of money ·       Gratitude ·       Nature of humanity ·       Journey, not a destination   "If you find yourself in a room and you feel intimidated, you need to change the script for yourself. Instead of: 'How did I get here, why am I here?' It's 'I'm here for a reason.'" Sarah   "For a long time, it was difficult for me to not make myself small… But you have to think about all the things you did to get to the place you are now." Maureen   "If you go into things, not with comparison, but with curiosity – that changes the playing field." Sarah   [47.35] The group discuss the negative impact social media can have on self-worth, and the danger of comparing yourself with others. ·       Vulnerability ·       Connection ·       Truth ·       Likes/comments/engagement ·       Algorithm/trend chasing ·       Originality ·       Detachment   "A lot of times, it's a façade. You're not seeing peoples authentic selves." Maureen   [1.02.56] The panel explore why self-worth is important, and why there's no set timeline for success.   ·       Investing in yourself ·       Empowering others ·       Overcoming challenges ·       Inspiration ·       Reinvention ·       Experience ·       Getting out of your own way ·       Understanding the big picture ·       Making space ·       Helping people feel seen ·       You don't need to have it all figured out ·       Progress over perfection   "It's all about zooming out, and understanding the big picture and where you fall into it. Knowing that not every lesson is yours to teach, not every fight is yours to fight – you have to protect yourself first and then you can help others." Sarah "Give yourself permission to be a work in progress. I've fallen into the trap of wanting perfection, but it has to be progress over perfection." Katie   [01.18.12] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion and share their best advice.    RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Dave, Sarah or Katie over on LinkedIn.  

Why does it feel like screens are stealing our kids' imagination, our attention spans, and even our peace at home? Why are so many families exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed by technology—even though we know it's supposed to make life easier? If you've ever wondered how to break the cycle of device dependence without guilt, shame, or overwhelm, this episode is for you.Today's guest, S. S. Coulter—or Shannon—is leading a screen-lite movement that's changing how families reconnect with real life. Through Planet Fassa, she empowers kids to rediscover creativity, curiosity, and childhood joy through books, fun activities, and simple daily habits. She also equips adults to Break the Chain of tech overload, helping them model the confidence, presence, and creativity we want the next generation to inherit. Her work comes to life in this conversation, where she shares practical solutions, real-world stories, and the neuroscience behind why screens are so addictive—as heard throughout the episodeGet ready for an honest, hopeful, and deeply important conversation about reclaiming connection, rebuilding imagination, and taking back our families from the constant pull of screens.Quotes:"I'm trying to get people to make their phones their servants versus their masters.""Our best memories are when we're with people—you don't make your favorite memories staring at a screen.""It's not our fault that we're addicted to screens—they're made to addict us."Actionable Takeaways:Set daily screen-free times for both parents and children; be intentional in modeling the behavior you want to see in your family.Swap some habitual screen time with offline activities—choose simple, low-material tasks to spark imagination and creativity.Reconfigure your device settings (use black-and-white or red-light filters, enable "bedtime mode," or create physical distance from devices) to make phone usage less addictive.Reflect and discuss as a family: “What are our favorite memories, and how many of those happened on a screen?”Connect with your community or peer group to share successful screen-free activity ideas and support each other in building new habits.Conclusion:S. S. Coulter reminds us that reclaiming our families from screen overload isn't about perfection—it's about intention. When we understand why technology hooks us and how it shapes our kids' developing brains, we can finally take back control with confidence, compassion, and simple daily choices. Shannon's mission proves that imagination can be rebuilt, connection can be restored, and joy can return to our homes one small habit at a time. Her message is a powerful call to lead by example, create healthier rhythms, and give our children the childhood—and future—they truly deserve.

Leadership Principles and Tech, AI, and the Human Touch in Logistics Empowerment Kelsey and Gene shift the conversation to today's evolving workplace and the rise of AI in logistics. While acknowledging industry layoffs and the anxiety surrounding automation, Kelsey stresses that technology should enhance human performance, not replace it.

Focus: Empowering Leadership with Pastor Jason Eddy

Why do so many people feel like they have to shrink at work? Why do smart, capable leaders still battle self-doubt, burnout, and the pressure to hide who they really are? And what would happen if you finally showed up as your full self—without fear, without armor, and without apology?In this powerful episode, we sit down with Claude Silver, the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX and a global voice for heart-centered leadership. Claude is on a mission to transform workplace culture and redefine what true leadership looks like. She partners with Gary Vaynerchuk to drive Vayner's people-first success, has earned Campaign US's Female Frontier Award and AdWeek's Changing the Game Award, and speaks to teams at Meta, Google, U.S. Government agencies, the Armed Forces, and audiences worldwide. Featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal, she is also the author of Be Yourself at Work, a guide to replacing fear and conformity with authenticity and emotional courage.Through her lived wisdom and candid storytelling, Claude shows how embracing your humanity is not a liability—it's a leadership advantage. Get ready to rethink how you work, lead, connect, and show up every day.Quotes:"You are the CEO of your life. You are not here to live someone else's life or fit a mold—they don't want you to.""Empathy isn't me putting myself in your shoes; it's riding shotgun with you and asking, 'How can I support you?'""Consistency is the key. Showing up the same way, pretty much every day, is my greatest strength."Actionable Takeaways:Reflect on your authenticity: Ask yourself, “What is it costing me to not show up as my full self at work?” Identify one way you can bring more of your true self into your professional life this week.Practice intentional empathy: Reach out to a colleague or loved one, and instead of trying to solve their issue, simply ask, “How can I support you?” Focus on listening and understanding their unique experience.Set and communicate healthy boundaries: Define your start and end times for work, and communicate them clearly to empower yourself and model boundaries for others.Commit to self-awareness: Regularly journal or check in with yourself to recognize personal triggers and areas for growth. Consider identifying one habit or reaction you want to work on.Conclusion:Claude's message is a powerful reminder that the most impactful leaders aren't the ones who hide behind titles or toughness—they're the ones who lead with honesty, empathy, and heart. When you stop shrinking and start showing up as your true self, you create space for others to do the same. This episode challenges you to rethink how you lead, how you work, and who you're becoming. Your voice, your story, and your humanity are your greatest strengths—so bring them forward boldly.
