Podcasts about future of work

40,000+ AI-linked job cuts in two weeks.

Group Chat News is back and Michael B. Jordan just won Best Actor while we were recording!!  For the guys, this one's personal. From Fantasy Factory hangs to courtside moments, MBJ is the real deal. Plus, is Timothée Chalamet peaking too soon, and what does Hollywood actually reward? Tucker Carlson's name is popping up in Iran spy allegations and the crew breaks down what's real, what's speculation, and why none of it is surprising. Then the guys get into the AI debate. Chamath says the utility isn't there yet. The crew strongly disagrees. From fixing a $750-a-month water leak with one prompt to small business owners changing their entire operation overnight  the future is already here, people just aren't paying attention. And with humanoid robots coming for blue collar jobs, what does the future of work actually look like? The guys make the case this moment is bigger than the iPhone and the internet combined. All that on this week's Group Chat Podcast.

AI is officially in the workplace, on the group chat, and probably drafting someone's “thought leadership” while they're still in the shower. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil goes toe-to-toe with the thing that's equal parts fascinating and mildly rage-inducing: AI and the future of work. Enter Katie Fortunato, Co-Founder and EVP of Platform Innovation & Strategy at Hire Innovations, a global leader in human-centered AI talent technology. Together, they unpack how to use AI as a tool (not a personality), how to avoid “automation without accountability,” and why the future belongs to humans who can still think, judge, and lead—aka the “skills” no bot can fake convincingly for long. In this episode, they get into: Why AI feels like cheating… and when it actually is The difference between using AI for productivity vs. outsourcing your identity “Brand choices” (aka: how to lose audience trust in one easy AI avatar) How to start using AI if it's intimidating: repeat-task lists, tiny experiments, and momentum Picking AI tools without spiraling: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude—and why it's like joining a gym AI in hiring: what “responsible AI” actually looks like in talent tech The uncomfortable truth: there is no 100% guarantee—so you need guardrails Vendor trust, data privacy, compliance, and why downloading random tools at work is chaos behavior Why protecting critical thinking is urgent—especially for kids (and honestly, adults too) The core takeaway: let AI handle repetitive work so humans can double down on context, curiosity, judgment, and care Wrap-up (because the point is the point): Nicole and Katie land on a clear line in the sand—AI can boost productivity, but it shouldn't replace human thinking, discernment, or authenticity. The future of work won't just be shaped by what AI can do; it'll be shaped by what people choose to protect while using it. Thank you to our sponsors!

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Vahram Ayvazyan, founder of the Armenian Network State, for a wide-ranging conversation touching on AI and the future of work, the cyclical nature of human conflict throughout history, the decay of the nation-state, the concept of a "fourth establishment" of free people operating outside traditional power structures, the role of greed and self-aggrandizement in politics and tech, and how network states could serve as a parallel structure to challenge entrenched global elites. You can find Vahram on LinkedIn, or check the Armenian Network State page at networkstate.io.Timestamps00:00 The Future of AI and Humanity05:57 Human Nature and Greed12:00 The Crisis of Nation-States17:53 Community Resilience and Abundance23:30 The Power of Storytelling in Change29:43 Cultural Connections: Armenia and Africa35:43 Western Dominance and Its Consequences42:17 Creativity in the Age of AI48:07 Creating Parallel StructuresKey Insights1. Humans advance technologically but remain socially and biologically stagnant. Vahram argues that despite extraordinary technological leaps, human nature remains driven by greed and self-aggrandizement. Conflicts today mirror those of thousands of years ago, with only the actors changing while the underlying structure of power struggles stays the same.2. Power corrupts by disconnecting leaders from reality. Using a personal account of a deputy head of state, the guest illustrates how those who gain significant power gradually lose touch with reality, fall into cycles of wanting more, and become trapped in ego-driven decision-making regardless of their original intentions.3. The nation-state is in decay and failing its citizens. Globalization, internet, and migration have eroded the nation-state's ability to deliver basic services. Events like the Valencia flooding exposed how even wealthy European governments mismanage resources despite collecting enormous tax revenues.4. Three institutions currently rule the world, with a fourth emerging. Nation-states, multinational corporations, and religious institutions form today's power structure. The guest envisions a "fourth establishment" — network states — composed of free-thinking individuals connecting across geographies to build parallel, dignity-based communities outside these failing systems.5. Intentions matter more than the tools themselves. Whether discussing AI, nuclear energy, or mathematics, the guest emphasizes that technology is neutral and that what defines civilization is the moral intention behind its use, not the sophistication of the tools developed.6. Western civilization's dominance was built on superior weapons, not superior values. The guest challenges Western narratives by suggesting its historical advantage came primarily from military technology rather than cultural or moral superiority, contrasting this with indigenous and Eastern philosophies that treat land, community, and human relationships as sacred rather than as capital.7. Evolutionary, not revolutionary, change is the path forward. The guest warns that revolutionary movements are easily infiltrated, diverted, or crushed by existing power structures. Meaningful change requires patiently building critical mass through parallel structures, storytelling, and emotional connection until the alternative becomes undeniably powerful.

In this episode of The Dyslexic Entrepreneur, Stephen explains why dyslexic and neurodivergent thinkers may have a natural advantage in the age of AI. Instead of competing with AI, he encourages people to see it as a powerful tool like a camera crew to a director or a sous chef to a head chef.Dyslexic minds often excel at pattern recognition, creativity, and big-picture thinking, which are exactly the skills needed to guide AI effectively. As technology evolves, execution is becoming cheaper while strong ideas and problem-solving abilities are becoming more valuable. The key is learning to direct AI and combine it with your personal experience and creativity.TakeawaysWork with AI, not against it.Think of yourself as the director and AI as the tool.Dyslexic strengths like pattern recognition and creativity are valuable in the AI era.Ideas and direction are becoming more important than execution.Start experimenting with AI tools and learn by doing.Dyslexia and AI, dyslexic entrepreneur, neurodivergent thinking, AI for entrepreneurs, dyslexia strengths, AI creativity, future of work, neurodiversity and technology, ADHD, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.Join the clubrightbrainresetters.comGet 20% off your first orderaddednutrition.comIf you want to find out more visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠truthaboutdyslexia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/adultdyslexia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

When budgets shrink, performance pay is put to the test.  The 2026 Compensation Best Practices Report tells a clear story: budgets are tighter, bonuses are shrinking, and organizations are reaching for simpler pay strategies to get through the year.   Today we're exploring what happens when compensation decisions prioritize administrative ease over strategic intent — and what leaders can do about it.  In this episode of Comp and Coffee, Ruth Thomas is joined by Founder of Payformance Partners Marc Mullis and People Operations leader at Leapfrog, Brittany Vogel to explore how organizations can maintain performance differentiation, employee trust, and retention in an era of tiny budgets.  This conversation goes beyond theory. It examines how leaders are creatively rethinking frequency versus size of rewards, leveraging non-base pay tools, strengthening communication, and avoiding the long-term consequences of oversimplified pay strategies.  Episode Resources: 2026 Compensation Best Practices Report: https://www.payscale.com/featured-content/cbpr   Your insights matter and shape the future of work. Participate in the 2027 Compensation Best Practices Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cbprsignup Email: coffee@payscale.com for listener questions and suggestions

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----- AI has become so embedded in how I work that I can no longer cleanly separate it from my thinking. That raises a question I find genuinely unsettling: is intensive AI use making me a sharper thinker, or quietly doing the opposite? In this episode I pull back the curtain on my full research and writing process — the custom tools, the friction points, and the places where I'm still not sure I've got it right. For Ezra Klein, having AI summarize material is a disaster for original thought. But my AI systems are designed to protect the cognitive work that has to stay human, while they handle everything else. Knowing where to draw that line turns out to be the hardest and most important question. I covered: 00:00 - Is AI worsening our thinking? 02:35 - Ezra Klein on AI and the death of original thought 04:02 - Cognitive offloading vs cognitive surrender 09:20 - Signal detection at scale 11:06 - Why I use several AI personas to scan for different insights 13:37 - AI tells me what NOT to think about 16:25 - The value of quietness 19:07 - Small notebooks, small ideas 20:01 - Writing reveals what you don't yet know 23:24 - The golden thread 25:20 - Speaking drafts aloud 28:05 - How I stress-test my arguments before publishing 29:35 - Using AI to stress-test my own house views 31:44 - Stylometer: my AI style and grammar tool 33:10 - Did AI make the thinking better?

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but most leaders are still asking the wrong question.   Instead of focusing on tools, Geoff Woods believes the real shift is happening at the leadership level: how we think, how we make decisions, and how teams execute in a world where intelligence is suddenly abundant.   In this episode of Why Not Now?, Amy Jo Martin sits down with Geoff Woods, author of the #1 international bestseller The AI-Driven Leader and founder of AI Leadership. Geoff's work helps leadership teams rethink how they align strategy, prioritize decisions, and operate at the speed AI now makes possible.   The conversation begins with Geoff's own "Why Not Now?" moment. Despite feeling unqualified to write about artificial intelligence, he committed to the process anyway—using the book itself as a forcing function to research, experiment, and go deep. Five months later, The AI-Driven Leader was finished and on its way to becoming a global bestseller.   From there, Amy Jo and Geoff unpack what's really happening inside companies right now. Many organizations believe they've "adopted AI" simply because employees have access to tools like ChatGPT. But according to Geoff, that's only the starting point. The real opportunity is using AI as a strategic thought partner—one that helps leaders ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and unlock entirely new ways of solving problems.   Along the way, you'll hear why the most valuable leadership skills in the next decade won't be technical at all. They'll be human: judgment, creativity, emotional intelligence, and the ability to synthesize complex ideas.   In other words, the leaders who win in the AI era won't be the ones who adopt the most tools.   They'll be the ones who redesign how their teams think and work.   Learn more about Geoff: https://aileadership.com/   Amy Jo Martin speaks globally on Humanizing AI, Leadership, Decision-Making, and the Future of Work.

Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.com Today, we'll be discussing Episode 15 of Start-Up, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Bae Suzy as Seo Dal-mi, Nam Joo-hyuk as Nam Do-san, Kim Seon-ho as Han Ji-pyeong, Kang Han-na as Won In-jae, and Kim Hae-sook as Choi Won-deok. We discuss: The songs we featured during the recap: “Love Me Like You Used To” by Kassy, “Regret Will Remain the Reason” by Park Sejun and Kim Minji, and “A Story I Couldn't Tell You” by Lee Nyeom. Joanna's new weekly music spotlight: “We Pray” by Coldplay and TWICE, and why the many versions of the song with artists from around the world feel so moving and distinctive. Why Episode 15 feels like the emotional turning point of the love story, with Joanna celebrating that her guy finally got the girl and Sung Hee noting that one final twist may still remain. The meaning of “MVP,” or minimum viable product, and a rich discussion of product development, early adopters, speed to market, client validation, and the tension between ambition and practicality in startup life. The autonomous driving permit test for Tarzan, including the smart city opportunity in Seonju, the threat posed by Morning AI, and the real-world problem of phantom braking. Why the Seonju smart city bid is such a huge decision for Cheong Myeong Company, with Seo Dal-mi torn between caution and ambition, Han Ji-pyeong urging restraint, and Nam Do-san arguing that sometimes you have to sail off without a map. The contrast between Ji-pyeong and Do-san's life experiences, especially how risk, failure, family support, and survival shaped their very different views of success and why Do-san believes you pass failure on the way to success. Seo Dal-mi's growth as a CEO: more seasoned, more measured, more collaborative, and less impulsive after the damage caused by the 2STO deal. The drunken and deeply revealing night between Han Ji-pyeong and Nam Do-san, including the truth about the letters, Do-san's insecurity, Ji-pyeong's envy of Do-san's family, and Ji-pyeong's painful decision to step aside after realizing where Dal-mi's heart truly lies. Why Han Ji-pyeong became such a powerful second lead, including a discussion of second lead syndrome, Kim Seon-ho's especially expressive performance, and the internet-wide Team Do-san vs. Team Ji-pyeong debate. Do-san's moving confession to Dal-mi that he wanted to be her trophy, pride, dream, comfort, and wings, and why his dream was always tied to becoming the person she believed he could be. The looming threat at the end of the episode: Morning AI weaponizing the press around the ransomware attack just as Cheong Myeong prepares its smart city bid, plus the hosts' conversation about AI's real-world impact on jobs, recent graduates, automation, and the future of work.

Is the 9-to-5 job dead? In this episode of Mark and Pete we discuss the collapse of traditional working hours, hustle culture, and why modern tech companies are pushing employees far beyond the classic nine-to-five working day. If you're interested in work culture, work-life balance, productivity, and the future of work, this episode explores why the old working day may be disappearing.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at the gradual death of the traditional 9-to-5 working day and the rise of a culture where work never quite stops. For decades the idea was simple: you went to work in the morning, you finished in the late afternoon, and the rest of the day belonged to your life. Increasingly, that boundary has disappeared.We discuss how smartphones, email, and messaging platforms have blurred the line between work and personal life, creating a situation where many employees feel permanently on call. Messages arrive late at night, tasks appear during weekends, and the modern office has quietly migrated into the pocket of every worker.The conversation also touches on the growing pressure inside many technology companies and fast-moving industries, where extremely long hours are often treated as a badge of honour. In some workplaces, employees are expected to stay late, answer messages immediately, and sacrifice personal time in order to keep up with demanding schedules.Along the way we explore whether this culture actually produces better work. Research increasingly suggests that excessive hours often lead to exhaustion, poorer decision-making, and declining productivity. In other words, working longer does not necessarily mean working better.Finally, we reflect on an older idea that predates modern productivity culture entirely: the principle of rest. The biblical tradition of Sabbath recognised thousands of years ago that human beings are not designed for endless labour. The rhythm of work and rest may still offer wisdom for a modern world that rarely seems to switch off.Subscribe to Mark and Pete for thoughtful discussions on culture, faith, news, and modern life.

Send a textA CEO takes a tiny bite of a new burger, calls it “the product,” and accidentally hands the internet a masterclass in cringe. We use the McDonald's Big Arch backlash as a springboard to talk about something bigger than fast food: leadership authenticity, executive presence, and what happens inside organizations when nobody feels safe saying, “maybe don't post that.”From there, we pivot into the HR side of real-world messes. Warren shares an offboarding story where a terminated employee shows up unannounced to collect belongings and tries to roam, vent, and reconnect, all while a well-meaning employee holds the door. We break down the practical security risks of tailgating and why a clean termination process protects everyone, including the person leaving.Then we get into hiring and talent: an interview for a finance role that “requires expert Excel” turns into the infamous sideways M explanation. It opens up a bigger conversation about applicant tracking systems (ATS), AI screening, and why resumes are less trustworthy than ever. We also talk about ethical AI use for school and work, and why organizations that refuse to train people on AI tools are setting themselves up to fall behind.If you care about HR, leadership, workplace culture, recruiting, and the future of work, hit play.

Realities Remixed, formerly know as Cloud Realities, launches a new season exploring the intersection of people, culture, industry and tech.After years of remote‑first work built on swift trust, companies are asking a harder question: what does a organization really stand for when people rarely show up together? As AI accelerates change, leaders are rethinking presence, team design, and collaboration to fuel trust, innovation, and growth. This week, Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by Dr. Tim Currie, disruptor, author, innovator, and advisor, to examine transformation versus trust, the role of AI, and whether organisations can truly build culture without deeper human connection. TLDR00:42– Introduction01:10 –  Hang out: New film releases07:17 – Dig in: The trust gap in remote work17:57 – Conversation with Dr. Tim Currie54:07 – The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere in Las Vegas and staying connected GuestDr. Tim Currie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-tim-currie-37756a/Book Swift Trust: https://swifttrustbook.com/HostsDave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Giessen:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Kernahan:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ProductionMarcel van der Burg:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

In this episode, Bard MBA faculty member and Lead the Change host Renay Loper sits down with colleague and fellow Bard MBA instructor Ayana Fernandes Pilgrim, founder and CEO of the Talent Cornerstone, for a candid conversation about the seismic shifts reshaping the future of work. Drawing on decades of experience leading global talent initiatives, Ayana examines the dangerous intersection of declining DEI commitments and the rapid rise of AI in hiring. She introduces the concept of "divine dualism" to describe AI's simultaneous promise and peril, makes the case for why soft skills are actually the essential skills of the new economy, and offers practical guidance for employees and job seekers on how to shift from an employee consciousness to an ownership mindset and lead themselves well in an era of relentless change.

On this week's episode of The Future of Work, Pat Flynn chats with Keara Osborne, a remote worker based in Ennis and a member of the Grow Remote network. This feature, 'The Future of Work' is funded by the News Reporting Scheme.

You may have seen companies like Pinterest and Amazon cutting thousands of jobs in the name of "AI transformation." But here's the catch: these layoffs are a calculated reset, not a technological revolution. It's all about greed disguised as progress.In this episode, I dive into the AI-driven layoffs that are sweeping across the job market and how these "innovations" are actually part of a much bigger strategy. I break down how these tech giants are using AI as cover to slash salaries, eliminate experienced workers, and reset the market for a younger, cheaper workforce. We're not talking about companies simply streamlining their operations. This is a systemic dismantling of worker leverage and a rollback of the progress workers made during the pandemic.You'll hear about the cold, hard truth behind these so-called "AI efficiencies" and why, as much as companies push the narrative, the truth is that AI is far from delivering the results they claim. AI is not necessarily replacing jobs, but it's being used to cut costs while executives rake in record pay.This episode addresses what's really happening with AI layoffs, what it means for your future job security, and how we can collectively push back.In This Episode:-AI-driven efficiency and its consequences on workers-How AI narratives mask deeper corporate greed-Why this is a systemic issue and not just a tech problem-The new reality for those who were laid off-Steps to push back against AI-driven layoffs and reset salary expectations-A story to illustrate what's happeningAnd much more!Resources:-Get Corporate-level Health Coverage for Solopreneurs with a 50% Discount for 1st Three Months - https://essentlcreator.com/maureen-MIT study shatters AI hype: 95% of generative AI projects are failing, sparking tech bubble jitters - https://www.forbes.com/sites/cindyrodriguezconstable/2026/02/27/most-ai-investments-are-failing-the--problem-isnt-the-technology/-New Workday Research: Companies Are Leaving AI Gains on the Table - https://investor.workday.com/news-and-events/press-releases/news-details/2026/New-Workday-Research-Companies-Are-Leaving-AI-Gains-on-the-Table/-Predictions 2026: The Workforce Muddles Through Ambient Disruption - https://www.forrester.com/blogs/future-of-work-predictions-2026-whats-coming-for-work-and-the-workforce/Connect with Maureen Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/-Instagram: @maureenwclough - https://www.instagram.com/maureenwclough-YouTube: @itgetslateearly - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGrHwk-y7ERaq7bCSjZYf1A?sub_confirmation=1Affiliate Disclaimer:Hey there!

Shamoon Siddiqui, CEO and Founder of Human Friendly Robotics, joins The Tech Trek to break down what it really takes to bring robotics into construction. This is not a futuristic thought experiment. It is a grounded conversation about where robots can create value now, why construction has lagged so badly on productivity, and how focused automation could reshape one of the world's biggest industries.At the center of the discussion is Tyler, a tile laying robot built as a practical entry point into construction automation. Shamoon explains why repeatable workflows matter, where human skill still wins, and how robotics can improve speed, safety, and job site economics without needing to look like a science fiction demo.In this episode• Why construction productivity has moved backward while other industries have surged ahead• Why tiling is the right entry point for construction robotics• How Human Friendly Robotics thinks about deployment, rentals, and product iteration• Where robots can reduce hidden job site injuries tied to repetitive strain• Why the long game is much bigger than tile, with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC in sightTimestamped highlights00:35 Why construction is the right market for robotics right now03:56 The bigger shift from humans moving atoms to machines handling more physical work08:29 Why the business model is built around rentals, not one time equipment sales10:24 The wedge strategy today and the larger vision across licensed trades12:12 The overlooked safety problem of repetitive strain in construction20:44 Why useful robots matter more than robots built for flashy demos“Version one is not going to be as good as version five, but if you continue to rent it from us, we can make sure you get version five when it's ready.”Practical takeawayThe smartest automation wedge is not the flashiest one. Start with repetitive, measurable work, prove productivity gains in the real world, and expand from there.Follow The Tech Trek for more conversations on robotics, AI, startups, and the technologies changing how real work gets done.#ConstructionTech #Robotics #Automation #ai #FutureOfWork

Amazon is making headlines with its plan to cut 49,000 desks company-wide as it shifts its focus and billions of dollars towards artificial intelligence. The move aims to reduce Amazon's office vacancy rate from 31% to a more streamlined 22.9% by 2026. Senior Real Estate Manager Martha Schwarzkopf Doyle explained that this will be achieved by allowing leases to expire, 'hibernating' offices, and subleasing or terminating leases in largely vacant spaces. This downsizing could free up over 10 million square feet of office space. While Amazon assures it prioritizes spaces that foster innovation and collaboration, concerns are rising about the impact on the workforce and the Seattle economy, where Amazon is a major employer. What does this shift mean for the future of work and the tech industry? We dive into the details.

Kevin Nethercott, CEO of Tresic, spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News at the Enterprise Connect conference about how organizations can turn everyday business conversations into actionable intelligence that improves performance and revenue outcomes. Nethercott explained that Tresic focuses on analyzing conversations across voice, video, and messaging channels to uncover insights that help organizations understand customer needs, sales performance, and operational gaps. Rather than treating conversations as disposable communications, Tresic's platform captures and analyzes them as valuable business data that can drive better decision-making. A key theme of the discussion was how conversational intelligence can empower service providers, MSPs, and enterprises to improve customer engagement and internal collaboration. By identifying patterns and key moments within conversations, companies can surface opportunities to coach teams, refine messaging, and better align with customer expectations. Nethercott emphasized that many organizations already possess an enormous amount of conversational data but lack the tools to turn it into meaningful insights. “Conversations are one of the richest sources of business intelligence, but most companies have never had a way to analyze them at scale,” he said. As industry leaders gathered at Enterprise Connect to explore AI, communications platforms, and the future of work, Tresic highlighted how conversation intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool for enterprises seeking to transform communications into measurable business outcomes.

How can companies invest heavily in AI and still struggle to see meaningful returns? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Thomas Scott, CEO of Wrike, to unpack a growing tension many organizations are facing right now.  Artificial intelligence adoption is accelerating rapidly across the workplace, yet the structures needed to support it are struggling to keep pace. Wrike's latest research into the "Age of Connected Intelligence" reveals that more than 80 percent of employees are already using AI at work. Yet fewer than half have received any formal training, guidance, or governance around how these tools should be used. That gap between enthusiasm and enablement is creating a new workplace phenomenon that many leaders are only just beginning to notice.  Shadow AI. When employees cannot find approved tools that solve their problems quickly, they often turn to unapproved applications or personal accounts instead. Wrike's data shows that 42 percent of workers admit they have already done this. For organizations handling sensitive data, intellectual property, or regulated information, that trend raises serious questions about security, compliance, and trust. Thomas explains why this pattern is not surprising. Whenever a new technology emerges, the builders and experimenters move first. They explore possibilities, test new tools, and discover productivity gains long before formal policies or training frameworks arrive. The challenge for leadership teams is learning how to harness that momentum without letting experimentation turn into fragmentation. We also explore one of the most overlooked barriers to AI return on investment. Integration. Many employees are now juggling multiple AI tools every week, yet those systems rarely communicate with one another or connect deeply into the core business platforms where real work happens. As a result, context gets lost, workflows become fragmented, and organizations end up running expensive pilots that never scale into meaningful transformation. Thomas introduces the idea of connected intelligence as a possible solution. Instead of deploying AI tools in isolation, companies need systems that understand context across projects, teams, and workflows. When AI can access structured data, shared history, and operational context, it becomes far more capable of supporting real decision making rather than simply generating isolated outputs. Our conversation also explores how leaders can move beyond scattered experimentation and start building structured AI adoption across their organizations.  Thomas argues that the most successful companies start with highly specific problems, empower small groups of motivated builders, and maintain strong executive involvement throughout the process. AI transformation is rarely driven by technology alone. It requires people, process, and leadership alignment working together. So if your organization has already deployed AI tools but still struggles to see real impact, perhaps the question is not whether you are using AI. The real question might be whether those tools are truly connected to the work your teams are trying to do every day.

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, making confident business decisions is hard. So we grasp for certainty. Numbers feel certain, but they often give us the false comfort of measuring the wrong things. In her book Embracing Uncertainty, Margaret Heffernan explores a different approach. Looking at artists, writers, and musicians, she asks what we can learn from people who produce extraordinary work in conditions where the future simply can't be known. In this episode, Dart and Margaret discuss the hidden costs of certainty, why systems built around prediction can undermine human agency, and how artistic ways of working offer a different relationship to risk, failure, and learning.Margaret Heffernan is an author, playwright, and former CEO who has run multiple businesses in the U.S. and U.K. Her TED Talks have been viewed more than fifteen million times.In this episode, Dart and Margaret discuss:- The pressure to be certain- Why uncertainty is treated as a problem- How prediction slides into control- Why systems reduce human agency- Why total certainty would strip away human choice- How technology trains us to comply rather than think- What artists do when the future can't be known- How power disrupts independent thinking- The courage required to let go as a leader- And other topics…As Chief Executive of InfoMation Corporation, ZineZone Corporation, and then iCast Corporation, Margaret Heffernan was named one of the “Top 25” by Streaming Media magazine and one of the “Top 100 Media Executives” by The Hollywood Reporter. Her books include A Bigger Prize, Beyond Measure, Uncharted, and Willful Blindness, which was named one of the most important business books of the decade by the Financial Times.Her TED Talks have been viewed more than fifteen million times.

In a world obsessed with quick fixes and automated answers, Dr. Marcia Reynolds joined The Ash Said It Show to deliver a powerful wake-up call for the 2026 workplace: stop trying to solve the problem and start coaching the human being in front of you. As the legendary author of Coach the Person, Not the Problem, Dr. Reynolds explains that the coaching landscape has undergone a radical evolution since her first edition. Today's leaders aren't just facing tasks; they are navigating a "wicked" landscape of digital fatigue and systemic complexity where the old scripts no longer work. This second edition has become an essential survival guide because it shifts the focus from external performance to internal capacity, ensuring leaders can thrive amidst constant disruption. The greatest hurdle for any high-achiever is the "fix-it" reflex—that magnetic pull to give advice when a client or employee is spiraling. Dr. Reynolds challenges us to resist this rescue impulse, noting that when we provide the answer, we actually rob the other person of their own cognitive breakthrough. By staying disciplined in Reflective Inquiry, a coach acts as a psychological mirror, allowing the client to see their own thinking patterns. This requires a level of Coaching Presence that many struggle to achieve. The primary barrier is often the coach's own ego; the need to prove value by being "brilliant" creates mental noise that drowns out the person we are trying to help. True presence is about "emptying the cup" and trusting that focused attention is more transformative than the best advice. Growth, as Dr. Reynolds famously teaches, lives in the Discomfort Zone. This is the precise, shaky moment when a person's old mental model begins to crack but a new one hasn't yet formed. She reveals that the secret to navigating this tension is the balance of high challenge and high support; by identifying the "Aha!" breath or the sudden break in eye contact, a coach can gently push a client toward a breakthrough without triggering a defensive retreat. This human-centric philosophy is also the ultimate tool for radical inclusion. By stripping away assumptions and focusing on the individual's unique internal narrative, leaders can navigate diverse identities and lived experiences with genuine empathy rather than relying on stereotypes or surface-level labels. As we look toward the future, the rise of Generative AI has actually made the human element of coaching more valuable than ever. While an algorithm can generate a perfect problem-solving script, it cannot sit in the "messy middle" of a breakthrough or sense the heavy silence of an unspoken fear. Dr. Reynolds reminds us that the next generation of leaders will be defined by their ability to be uniquely, provocatively human. On this episode of The Ash Said It Show, the message is clear: in an era of artificial intelligence, your most competitive advantage is your ability to truly see, hear, and challenge the soul of the person standing before you.

Andrej Karpathy released autoresearch this weekend — a system where an AI agent runs experiments to improve a language model overnight, keeping what works and discarding what doesn't, while the human sleeps. The project itself is fascinating, but what's more interesting is what it shares with the Ralph Wiggum coding loop pattern and a broader shift happening across domains — from software to sales to finance — where the human's job becomes writing the strategy document and defining "better," and the agent does the iterating.Brought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG's new paper, Agentic AI Untangled, gives leaders a clear framework to decide whether to build, buy, or borrow—download it at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kpmg.us/Navigate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mercury - Modern banking for business and now personal accounts.

When AI entered the workplace, many thought it would replace knowledge workers. Instead, we're flooded with AI-generated noise that feels productive but often isn't. In this new era, is the real competitive advantage simply the ability to focus? Expect to learn what the future of work will be with major advancements in AI, what most people's relationship with productivity is like at the moment, why your ability to focus is becoming increasingly more important, how people should deal with a lot of work messages, if new AI tools actually have been as transformative as they have claimed to be, if AI in the workplace has been a huge disappointment so far and why and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/deals⁠ Get up to 20% off the leading longevity and cellular health supplement at https://timeline.com/modernwisdom Get up to $350 off the Pod 5 at https://eightsleep.com/modernwisdom Get the brand new Whoop 5.0 and your first month for free at https://join.whoop.com/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/books⁠ Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: ⁠https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom⁠ Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59⁠ #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf⁠ #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp⁠ - Get In Touch: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast⁠ Email: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/contact⁠ - Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----- Meet R Mini Arnold - my OpenClaw chief of staff, which manages the equivalent of a ten-person team from a Mac mini in my garden studio. While I slept, that AI team debugged its own code at 3am, researched a trending Substack essay using five parallel investigators, and wrote a 4,600-word script for this very episode in 40 minutes. The gap between people who've started building this way and those who haven't is widening every week.  I covered: 00:51 Introducing my OpenClaw agent “R Mini Arnold” 03:59 What my AI chief of staff actually does 07:58 The hardware and software stack 10:38 A morning brief before you wake up 12:05 Overnight agents: research and code 15:00 How I communicate with my agent 18:56 Example 1: the sovereign wealth fund 22:41 Example 2: how this video was written 26:34 What it costs 29:22 The soul.md personality spec 32:39 Am I losing the judgment muscle? 35:46 Individuals vs. Fortune 500s 38:25 What to try this week ----- Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem Production by EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Baba Films, Chantal Smith, Marija Gavrilov.
