At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO in Fort Lauderdale, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Corey Moullas, Founder & CTO of EMAK Telecom, about a bold thesis: in the age of generative AI, voice will not be a side channel—it will be central to how businesses communicate and brand. EMAK Telecom, a VoIP and UCaaS provider founded a decade ago, built its own platform from the ground up with a focus on improving internal workflows and elevating the caller experience. Moullas emphasized that for EMAK, voice has always been about more than dial tone. “What can we do to make the caller experience amazing?” he said, describing a decade-long commitment to refining how customers interact with businesses through voice channels. Now, with the rise of generative AI and voice-to-voice agents, EMAK is integrating advanced AI capabilities directly into its telecom stack. While much of the industry conversation around AI centers on chat interfaces and automation dashboards, Moullas argues that the real transformation will occur in human conversation. “Voice is a very comfortable channel for a lot of people,” he noted. “Humans have a voice. We use it to communicate. It's not going away.” AI-powered voice agents, when implemented responsibly, can dramatically accelerate problem resolution, enrich brand presence, and create more natural customer interactions. Importantly, Moullas acknowledges the industry's legacy frustrations with earlier voice recognition systems. The difference today, he says, is the maturity of AI models capable of delivering empathetic, context-aware responses. “With the new technologies rolling out today, it's actually extraordinary,” he explained. At the same time, he stressed the responsibility that comes with such power. “We have to be very responsible about how we use these tools… they can be used for good or used for evil.” EMAK's internal philosophy—“do the right thing”—guides product decisions and long-term vision. As AI becomes embedded in enterprise communications, EMAK's strategy positions voice not as an afterthought but as the primary interface between humans and technology. In Moullas' view, when AI enables voice interactions that feel seamless and human, businesses will discover new ways to differentiate, connect, and deliver value. Visit https://emak.tech/

This is Part 3 of a three-part live conversation with Robert Andjelic, Canada's largest farmland owner and this is where the discussion got real. No slides. No prepared remarks. Just live questions from producers, lenders, and operators trying to understand what happens when capital tightens. In this session, Robert responds to questions about: – Cash flow vs land value – How banks actually behave when risk rises – Why liquidity disappears before prices fall – What breaks first when leverage is stretched – How operators protect the land when margins compress – And why “survival” is not failure, it's strategy Several moments in this Q&A landed hard, including Robert's blunt reminder: “Your balance sheet won't save you if your cash flow breaks.” This conversation isn't theory. It's lived experience, shared in real time.00:00 Part 3 - Audience Q&A & Closing05:40 Banking Relationships and Financial Advice12:01 Global Agriculture and Market Dynamics33:30 Cryptocurrency and AI in Agriculture41:21 The Inevitability of War and Global Tensions41:46 China's Ambitions and Global Power Dynamics42:34 Climate Change and Carbon Credits44:51 Agricultural Financing and Real Estate51:42 Interest Rates and Economic Predictions56:35 Farmland Investment Strategies01:06:19 Global Trade and Agricultural Competitiveness01:23:48 Closing Remarks and Final Thoughts Register for the Convergence Conference at convergence.ag and stay updated by subscribing to the Growing the Future Podcast at growingthefuturepodcast.ca.

Alan Smale is an astrophysicist and award-winning author (including “Writers of the Future Volume 13”) who recently retired from NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center after decades of groundbreaking work. Holding a Bachelor's in Physics and a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Oxford University, Alan moved to the U.S. in the late 1980s to collaborate with NASA. Three years ago, Alan joined the podcast to discuss “Hot Moon,” the thrilling launch of his alternate-history Apollo Rising series. This interview celebrates the release of “Burning Night,” the conclusion to the trilogy. We discuss the series' blend of meticulous historical accuracy and bold “what-if” speculation, vividly recreating the high-stakes tension of the U.S.-Soviet rivalry in the 1970s and 1980s—this time extended to a secret lunar battlefield. Alan also shares insights on L. Ron Hubbard's 1948 short story “240,000 Miles Straight Up,” an eerily prescient tale of superpower conflict on the Moon. Whether you're a space history buff, a Cold War enthusiast, or a fan of hard-SF alternate history, this episode explores how real science, real geopolitics, and imaginative fiction collide in one of the most ambitious near-future series in recent years.

Texts were written so that their letters ran together withnospacesorpunctuation and without any distinction between lowercase and capitals. It was up to the reader to discover where each word or sentence ended and the next began. Then, through orators and actors, marks were made to show pauses and stops and emphasis, and thus punctuation was born. Ian Randal Strock is the perfect guest for this topic. As a successful editor, author, and publisher, he has taken it upon himself to thoroughly research the history of punctuation and why it is so important to literature. In this interview, Ian discusses his book “Punctilious Punctuation,” and how bad punctuation is an immediate turn-off for an editor or reader. This leads to the importance of knowing the rules before breaking them. What is the solution for the current wave of language devaluing…especially as we witness on social media texting? The back cover copy says you will laugh and you will cringe, and this is certainly true. So, enjoy this very fun episode.

Join us for an interview with his children, Nausicaa and Raphael, as they discuss the enduring legacy of their father, a trailblazer whose surreal artistry reshaped science fiction.

Moebius co-founded Heavy Metal Magazine and served as a founding judge for Illustrators of the Future, even illustrating Jo Beverly's story in Writers of the Future Vol. 4. His seminal "The Long Tomorrow" ignited Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, with Scott later confessing, "You see it everywhere... you can't get away from it." George Lucas hailed Moebius's "sheer beauty" in designs for Willow, while Hayao Miyazaki, a lifelong friend, credits Arzach's "awesome sense of space" for inspiring Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind—echoed in the name of Giraud's own daughter.

Army veteran and gunsmith Stephen Copp (Valley Forge Weaponry) sits down with Luke to unpack what it really means to “protect and serve” as a civilian dad in today's climate. They cover Stephen's path from the military to the bench, the COVID gun-buying surge, and why first-time owners absolutely must prioritize training, storage, and scenario-based reps over gear. Luke shares his six-step self-protection framework, avoid, de-escalate, run, fight, improvise, and only then draw. Stephen adds practical layers on close-quarters realities, safe habits at home, and the mindset of a consistent protector rather than a provocateur.The conversation widens to culture and fatherhood: why speaking up for the Second Amendment starts with using the First, how community training days (“Nobody Is Coming to Save You”) build competence and calm, and why many public safety problems trace back to broken homes and a lack of strong male role models. The pair challenge men to lead with love, show up for their families, and train responsibly, because the most “manly” outcome is getting home safe. CLEAR!Stuck, bored, hurting, addicted, broken?

This week on the FATHERS of the FUTURE Podcast, Luke sits down with professional skydiver and former British Special Forces veteran Jules Ratcliff, who has completed over 2,100 jumps and served in combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Jules shares his near-death experience for the very first time when a parachute malfunction in June 2024 ripped his leg off mid-air at 4,500 feet. Drawing on his military training, he applied a tourniquet on himself while free-falling, a decision that ultimately saved his life. After being placed in a medically induced coma for six weeks and enduring multiple surgeries, Jules takes us inside his fight to recover and the mindset shifts that carried him forward.In this powerful conversation, Jules opens up about memory loss, the raw emotions of rehab, and the two guiding principles that helped him push through: every day is a step forward, and self-pity has no place in survival. His unwavering faith and gratitude thanking God for allowing his son to still have a father shine through his story of resilience. As Jules continues his long journey of recovery and major surgeries, we invite listeners to support his story and apply the same mindset in their own lives.
