Open Tech Talks : Technology worth Talking| Blogging |Lifestyle
This episode is for entrepreneurs, small businesses, solopreneurs, creators, and consultants who feel overwhelmed by AI and don't know where to start. You'll learn how a completely non-technical founder used Generative AI to transform two businesses, pivot her career, and build AI-driven systems without writing a single line of code. In this episode of Open Tech Talks, host Kashif Manzoor speaks with UK-based entrepreneur Marnie Wills, whose journey with Generative AI began unexpectedly while franchising her children's PE business. A copywriting challenge introduced her to Jasper AI, and that single moment reshaped everything. Within two years, she used AI tools to fix messaging issues, transform her franchise model, exit her online fitness business, and finally launch her consulting practice. Marnie breaks down how she built her AI-first operating system using ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Abacus AI, and NotebookLM. She explains why customizing your AI, training it on domain knowledge, and owning your data matters for the coming wave of agentic AI. She shares a powerful real example: building a full CRM + GPT workflow for a keynote speaker in 90 minutes using no-code tools. The system identifies events, drafts applications, and enables a VA to manage the entire pipeline, an example of how AI amplifies human roles rather than replacing them. The conversation also explores ethics, the myth of privacy, overwhelm in SMEs, and the misconception that AI = automation. Her philosophy is simple: AI should amplify humans first. Automation comes last. By the end, you'll understand why courses are no longer the main path, how "10,000 hours" has become "10,000 prompts," and why your next breakthrough may come simply from talking to an AI daily.

AI is reshaping cybersecurity—and the skills needed to thrive are evolving fast. In this insightful episode, Deepti Kalra (CEO, InfosecTrain) talks with Pradipto Chakraborty (Regional Director, CompTIA) about how professionals can future-proof their cybersecurity careers in the AI era.
In this episode of Creative Leaders Unplugged, Morgan Duta and Arne van Oosterom speak with Dara Douglas, who leads the Co-Design Lab at PwC in the UK. Dara describes her work as a kind of corporate therapy, helping senior leaders align, make decisions, and connect beyond their roles. Listening to her, it's clear this comes from somewhere deeper: growing up as one of nine siblings, learning early how to mediate, listen, and bring people together. What stands out most is her view on stories. Dara reminds us that stories are not just how we communicate, they're how we connect, learn, and reframe the world around us. Science shows that when we listen to stories, our brains sync with the storyteller's; we literally align. It's what makes empathy possible. In a time when technology is everywhere, she believes real lived experiences and authentic stories are what separate us from machines. We also spoke about learning, creativity, and the importance of making the process enjoyable. Dara told us how she's learning piano with her father—not for perfection, but for the joy of learning together. It's a reminder that growth happens when we slow down, make space for curiosity, and find meaning in the process, not just the outcome. Finally, we explored bravery in conversation, especially in today's polarized world. Dara shared her approach to diversity and inclusion: be curious, be forgiving, be brave. These simple principles open the door to understanding perspectives that challenge our own, and they're just as vital in design, leadership, and everyday life. If there's one thread through all of this, it's that creativity and empathy begin with stories, our own and those of others. As Dara puts it, “We can't always change what happened, but we can change the story we tell about it.”

Schon jetzt fehlen der deutschen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Fachkräfte für die Quantentechnologien. Und dieser Trend könnte sich enorm verstärken - wenn nicht entsprechend darauf reagiert und gegengesteuert wird. Diese Episode zeigt, wie das gehen kann.
South Africa's Maths Crisis: Decline in Pure Maths Threatens Future Skills by Radio Islam
In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton discuss a recent episode of the Diary of a CEO featuring Mo Gawdot, who predicts a dystopian future driven by technology and AI. The conversation explores themes of transformation, the value of work, and the implications of AI on jobs and society. The hosts critique Mo Gawdot's techno-extremism and emphasize the importance of hope and purpose in navigating the future. Using insights from The Experience Economy, from Experience Strategy, and human behavior, they argue for a bright future for those focused on customer's needs and desires Takeaways Mo Gawdot predicts a 15-year dystopia followed by a utopia. Critique of techno extremism highlights the need for balance. Transformation is key to the future economy. Work provides purpose and meaning to individuals. AI will create new jobs, not eliminate them. Gawdot argues against hope and against innovation Embracing AI is crucial for future success. People are resources that drive innovation.

In this solo episode, Matej breaks down the new rules of user acquisition for mobile games in 2025, backed by real survey data from 20,000+ newsletter subs and hundreds of UA managers. Full report: https://lancaric.substack.com/p/q1-2025-brutally-honest-ua-reportFrom channel splits and rewarded UA to the creative volume arms race, fraud, AI hacks, and why your next UA hire needs to be a creative prompt engineer, nothing is off the table. This is the data-driven, brutally honest update the industry needs.What's inside:UA Channel Reality: Most studios still pump 80 percent of spend into Facebook and Google, even when running across nine channels and doing seven million a year. Some are forced to pause Facebook or shift heavy budgets to Applovin—yet diversification is still rare and risky.Rewarded UA Surge: Rewarded UA channels are exploding, with more vendors than ever. The scale is better, but fraud and LTV prediction remain massive headaches. Retention falls off after D7, so you need tougher targets, multi-step offers, and real post-install engagement to make the math work.Creative Arms Race: The volume of creatives needed has never been higher. The best ad-monetized games now pump out 2,000+ creatives a quarter—more shots on goal, more winners, and more chance to beat your “stuck” top creative. Iteration and refresh speed is everything.AI Eats Creative: AI-generated creatives, AI UGC, and meta-style hooks are not a trend—they're the new default. The best teams use AI to pump out, localize, and iterate hooks, voiceovers, and even UGC cameos faster than ever.Creative Testing & Skills: Most teams test new creatives by launching them straight into BAU (business as usual) campaigns, rather than in separate tests. TikTok and Apple, not just Facebook, are where new winners show up. If your UA manager can't write a killer AI prompt, you're already behind.Key Takeaway:2025 is not about more channels or smarter spend—it's about creative firepower, AI leverage, and hiring UA pros who are part prompt engineer, part analyst, part storyteller. Copy the benchmarks, scale the winners, and never stop refreshing.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------Vibe.

In this episode of the Don't Panic, It's Just Data podcast, Kevin Petrie, VP of Research at BARC, is joined by Nidhi Ram, Vice President of Global Services Strategy and Operational Excellence at Precisely. The duo explore the idea of focusing on data modernisation and improving accessibility rather than constantly implementing new technologies.Both Petrie and Ram highlight the importance of traditional mainframes, especially in modern data strategies. They delve into how companies can combine cloud tools with data in order to handle diverse data systems. This removes the need for replacing the mainframe, keeping the data accessible for all users.Going into the critical role of data quality and governance — especially in the age of AI — Ram emphasises that “garbage in, garbage out” has never been more relevant, as AI outputs are only as good as the data feeding the model.What's needed is a more comprehensive approach to data integration, quality, governance, and enrichment that helps ensure data is always ready for confident business decisions.Listen to this latest episode to learn how Precisely's Data Integrity Suite provides a comprehensive approach to data modernisation.TakeawaysData modernisation is about accessibility, not technology.The mainframe continues to play a crucial role in data strategies.High-quality data is essential for successful AI initiatives.Data governance is critical to comply with regulations and ensure data quality.Cloud solutions offer flexibility, but on-premise systems provide control.Companies need to adapt to a heterogeneous data environment.Integrating people and processes is key to successful data programs.Future data roles will require broad functional knowledge rather than deep technical skills.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Data Modernization02:56 Understanding Data Modernization06:01 Challenges in Data Modernization08:53 The Role of AI in Data Strategies11:56 Data Quality and Governance15:08 Cloud vs On-Premise Data Solutions18:14 Adapting to Diverse Data Environments20:47 Advice for Modernizing Data Strategies23:58 The Importance of People and Process27:07 Future Skills for Data TeamsAbout PreciselyPrecisely is a leading global data integrity provider, ensuring organisations have accurate, consistent, and contextual data.

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Future Skills Academy Podcast with a Column by Arne van oosterom: I'm really excited to share something that's been on my mind for a while. We've all heard how technology—and more specifically AI—seems to be creeping into every corner of our lives. I mean, it's not just about writing blog posts or crunching numbers anymore. AI is creating art, music, film scripts, and sometimes it's even doing it better or faster than humans can. Which is both amazing and, let's be honest, a little unsettling. Now, of course, there's a lot of worry out there: “Are we losing our jobs to robots?” “Will we still need human writers, painters, directors, or composers?” And I totally get it. There's a sense that we're on the brink of something major, something that might leave a lot of us feeling redundant. But here's the twist: I actually think this shift is going to make real human creativity even more precious. Why? Because, at the end of the day, it's our lived experiences that make what we create truly meaningful. Look, if one day we were to find out that Van Gogh, for instance, was never a real person—that all the stories about his struggles and triumphs were just some elaborate AI fabrication—do you think his paintings would still hold the same weight? Probably not. The beauty of Van Gogh's art isn't just in the swirls of paint on the canvas. It's in knowing he was this real, troubled, passionate individual who poured his heart out in every brushstroke. That's the kind of depth that comes from having a mother you've loved and lost, or from breaking your leg and spending a miserable six weeks on crutches. It's from the late-night talks with friends that shift your perspective on the world, and from growing up in a certain neighborhood at a certain time. All of that seeps into your art—your words, your melodies, your films, your sculptures—and it resonates with people, because they can sense the realness. AI, for all its brilliance, doesn't have that. It doesn't have a mother. It doesn't know grief, or heartbreak, or the joy you feel when a friend drops by unexpectedly. AI might emulate these feelings, but that's all it is—an emulation. It can piece together a scene of heartbreak, add some atmospheric music, and calculate the perfect angle for a shot in a film, but it's doing that from data points and patterns, not from actual tears or heartbreak. This is why I believe the stories and creations that come from human hands—from the sweat and tears, the late nights and the real mistakes—are only going to become more valuable. When everything around us is generated by a machine, we'll crave the tangible evidence of a human life lived and poured into art. It will stand out. People will look for that spark that says, “Someone was actually here. They felt this. They went through something and this is what came out.” Yes, AI can replace many tasks that human beings do. It can do so quickly, often efficiently. And I don't doubt we'll see entire films or albums generated by code. Some might be popular or go viral. But at the same time, the more AI can do, the more we'll care about the things it can't. The more we'll want to see that authentic brushstroke or hear the raw crack in a singer's voice that came from a real heartbreak. So am I worried? Not really. I think it's going to force us to be clearer and more deliberate about what we bring to the table. We'll need to dig deeper into our experiences—our pains, our joys, our perspectives—and figure out how to translate them into something that matters to other people. That's the true essence of creativity, isn't it? You live, you learn, and you turn that into something that might resonate with someone else down the road. AI can do a lot, but it simply can't live. That's it from me for today. Thanks for tuning in to Creative Leaders Unplugged. Remember, the real magic isn't just in the final painting or the perfectly crafted track—it's in who we are and what we've gone through to make it. And that's something no robot will ever replicate.

Wired Differently: A Conversation with Anika Madejska on AI, Neurodiversity, and Ethical Debt When we spoke with Anika Madejska for our podcast, it was one of those conversations that lingered long after we hit stop on the recording. Thoughtful, sharp, and honest—Anika shared stories and insights that connected the personal and the professional in a way that just made sense. Especially when it comes to living with ADHD, and how that overlaps with creativity, identity, and our evolving relationship with technology and AI. Neuro-spicy and Never Quite Fitting In Anika calls herself “neuro-spicy.” It's her way of naming something many of us feel but don't always know how to explain: the constant dance of fitting in and not fitting in. She's been successful—really successful—but says she's always felt like an outsider. A misfit who learned to mask her differences, play the game, and still quietly question the rules… well, maybe not so quietly. For Anika, growing up meant constantly sensing that something was “off”—not in a bad way, but in a way that made her feel slightly outside the group. She talks about being deeply insecure, a people pleaser, even while coming across as strong and fearless. It wasn't until later in life that she was diagnosed with ADHD, and suddenly all those quirks, all those intensities and obsessions, started to make more sense. And maybe that's the paradox. You can be thriving in a system and still not feel like you belong in it. You can be high-functioning, even exceptional, and still feel like you're not doing things the “right” way. Wired for Justice One of the things that stood out in our talk was Anika's deep sense of justice—a drive she now knows is common in people with ADHD. That strong inner compass, that feeling of “this isn't right,” has shaped her entire career. From journalism to design to her current focus on AI ethics, Anika has always followed the impulse to fix, to understand, to make things better. Even when it wasn't easy. Even when it got her into trouble. She's the kind of person who raises her hand and says, “Sure, I'll do it,” and then figures it out along the way. That mix of impulsiveness and hyper-focus, as she describes it, has helped her jump into the deep end again and again—especially in chaotic, high-stakes environments. Where most people panic, she's calm. It's not that she's fearless. It's that she's used to navigating the unknown. The Ethical Debt of AI And that brings us to AI. Anika has spent the last few years knee-deep in conversations about ethics and technology. She coined the term “ethical debt,” and it's brilliant. Just like technical debt in software—where shortcuts come back to bite you—ethical debt builds up when we ignore the long-term moral consequences of what we build. She points out that the data we use to train AI is full of bias, because history is full of bias. And when we build systems on top of that data, without thinking critically about what we're amplifying, we're creating technology that might work—technically—but could be harming people in real ways. And we don't see it. That's the problem. The harm is often invisible. It's like climate change or depression: easy to ignore until it hits close to home. So… What Do We Do? Anika doesn't claim to have all the answers, but she does have a wish. She wants us to teach people—especially the next generation—critical thinking. She wants us to stop taking convenience for granted. To understand the cost of the tech we use, not just in money or energy or data, but in values. In choices. In trade-offs. She reminds us that technology isn't neutral. It's always designed by someone, for someone, with certain outcomes in mind. So we have to ask: Who gets to decide? What are we optimizing for? And who benefits? The Bigger Picture What I appreciated most about our conversation is how personal it was. Anika isn't talking about ethics in some abstract, academic way. She's lived it. Her work is shaped by her experiences as someone who feels deeply, thinks fast, and questions everything. She's someone who has learned to stop hiding parts of herself. To show up fully, neuro-spicy and all. And in doing so, she gives others permission to do the same. So yeah, this episode is about AI. It's about bias, and regulation, and privacy, and the need to rethink our systems. But it's also about being human in a world that often asks us to be machines. It's about creativity, empathy, identity, and the power of asking better questions.

In this episode of SCW for Pharma, Evren Ozkaya welcomes Ongun Saracbasi, Head of Assets and Brands Supply at UCB, to explore the evolving landscape of pharmaceutical supply chains.Ongun shares insights into managing supply chains for both commercialized medicines and those in late-stage clinical trials. He explains how pharma companies increasingly rely on contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) to enhance flexibility and responsiveness. While supply chains in the consumer goods sector adapt rapidly, pharma supply chains require strategic foresight due to higher market uncertainty and longer lead times for change.The discussion highlights a crucial industry challenge: limited supply chain visibility. Ongun explains how pharma manufacturers still lag behind consumer goods companies in digital connectivity, with upstream supply chains and shop floors often lacking real-time data. Despite improvements in digitalization, the industry struggles with fragmented data and underutilized analytics. However, he emphasizes that track-and-trace regulations have created an opportunity to enhance transparency and efficiency.Evren and Ongun also examine the shift in supply chain priorities post-COVID-19. Beyond cost reduction, resilience has become a key focus. Advanced analytics and digitalization play a critical role in detecting early market signals and optimizing operations, but many pharma companies still rely on outdated ERP systems that lack granularity. Ongun stresses the importance of mapping supply chain networks to identify high-risk areas for digital investment.The conversation then shifts to the future of supply chain talent. Ongun highlights the importance of both hard and soft skills, from data analytics to storytelling and decision-making. He notes that while technical skills evolve rapidly—Python coding was once a must-have, now it's prompt engineering—the ability to adapt and continuously learn remains the most valuable trait for supply chain professionals at all levels.Reflecting on his own career, Ongun advises young professionals to take bold risks and immerse themselves in diverse experiences, as learning agility is shaped by the challenges we embrace.

I think it's fair to say that most of us in communications and marketing, at one point or another (and probably recently), have been accused of the most awful, terrible thing: committing fluff. It can happen anytime, but usually when we talk about the mysterious arts of messaging, writing, brand identity, and almost anything creative. I think it's happened most often in my career when I've mentioned the most misunderstood five-letter word in our lexicon: story. I mean, I get it - when someone hears "story" they think about fairy tales, novels, movie plots, and so on. But a story is the Amazon Same-Day Delivery option for transmitting messages to another human being: it's efficient, fast, and dependable. It's about time for story - and the science of storytelling - to be permanently released from the fluff zone and given its due.

Notable Quotes On the Essence of Storytelling: "I think my love affair with storytelling dates back to my time in the newsroom as a news reporter and as a television news anchor, bearing that responsibility to represent different sides of the story, to bring those stories, those stories that matter, to really be the one to sniff out, you know, stories in the most unlikely, unexpected places." — Anuneha Mewawalla [03:42 - 04:02] On the Role of Storytelling in Leadership: "A story is not the facts of which it is composed or the points of which it is composed. A story is the composition." — Dan Nestle [05:25 - 05:53] On Executive Storytelling: "Executive storytelling is absolutely foundational. It is not just one other tactic, one other channel. It is the strategic backbone that shapes how leaders communicate their vision, their values, their impact, and it's also how they are perceived." — Anuneha Mewawalla [05:54 - 06:15] On Authentic Leadership: "What it comes down to is authenticity. I think it's the willingness to be personal. Because when you're personal, when you are willing to share a little bit more about that person, the values, the leadership values, the mindsets, the philosophies behind whoever your, whatever your title is, the likelihood that you come across as real and relatable is that much higher." — Anuneha Mewawalla [11:46 - 12:16] On the Power of Personal Stories: "Working with the, you know, one of the C suite executives at a major tech company, you know, him being willing to share with the organization as part of all hands meetings, what are their top five leadership values. But really each of them was associated with a story. Either a story that was a struggle, a failure, or something that propelled them forward." — Anuneha Mewawalla [12:47 - 13:17] On Engaging Employees: "When you get it right, when you get executive storytelling right, when they are, in fact, inviting stakeholders to join them in a journey to understand the why behind their sort of persuading you and, you know, getting you to understand why. There is, you know, there's. There's a joint purpose. There's a mutual purpose at stake here. Amazing things can happen." — Anuneha Mewawalla [16:22 - 16:53] On the Importance of Authenticity: "Being authentic doesn't mean that you have to tell every single personal story all the time. It doesn't mean that you have to share everything, but it does mean that what you do tell has to be real." — Dan Nestle [25:24 - 25:55] On Leadership Presence on LinkedIn: "A strong executive presence on LinkedIn is fundamentally important in today's day and age. And I think what the numbers are also telling us is that in our digital first world today, a leader's brand on LinkedIn, a leader's personal brand on LinkedIn has become just, you know, inextricably linked to their company's broader visibility and the company's broader brand." — Anuneha Mewawalla [29:17 - 32:14] On AI and Executive Storytelling: "AI can deliver benefits in four key areas. When it comes to executive storytelling, I think it's certainly not replacing executive storytelling as we know it. It's amplifying it in these four ways." — Anuneha Mewawalla [41:15 - 42:18] On the Future of Storytelling: "Empathy and EQ would be number one. Second would be mastery in working with AI tools. Three will be multimodal storytelling. Four would be data driven creativity. Five is going to be growth mindset." — Anuneha Mewawalla [55:06 - 58:01] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter Anuneha Mewawalla Anuneha Mewawalla | LinkedIn Lexato Consulting Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)
