Here's the complete description with show notes for Libsyn: IoT Reality Check: Fresh Insights from the Latest Benchmarking Report - Matt Hatton from Transforma Insights Breaks Down What's Really Working In this episode of TechBurst Talks, I sit down with Matt Hatton, founding partner at Transforma Insights, to dive deep into his latest IoT peer benchmark report covering 27 MNOs and MVNOs worldwide. Matt brings over 15 years of industry experience, having founded Machina Research (sold to Gartner in 2016) before launching Transforma Insights. We explore the most surprising findings from his fresh research, including the rise of SGP 32 for eSIM localization, how AI is finally being used for IoT-specific operations rather than just generic business functions, and why many connectivity providers are diversifying into adjacent markets like fixed wireless access. Matt breaks down the persistent challenges around network fragmentation, explains why IoT growth remains steady rather than explosive, and shares his outlook for 2026. We also discuss the symbiotic relationship between IoT and AI, where IoT provides the essential data feeds that make AI applications truly valuable. The conversation wraps up with some personal insights about music, favorite bands, and best concert experiences.

Everyone's talking about AI as the future of property, but what if it's quietly distorting how we see value?Veronica and Chris sit down with Luke Metcalfe, founder of Microburbs and DataScape, to reveal why precision in property data is often just an illusion. Luke, one of Australia's leading data scientists, reveals why many AI-driven tools sound convincing but are often wrong — and how they can even manipulate our confidence in property decisions.From understanding what AI models are actually trained to do, to exploring why machine learning can't yet capture local nuance or human psychology, this episode challenges the blind faith many investors place in “data-driven” insights.Luke explains the difference between language-based AI and number-based forecasting models, the dangers of herd thinking in machine learning, and how misinformation spreads faster when machines start selling the dream.If you've ever wondered whether AI could replace your buyer's agent — or if you've trusted a chatbot to tell you where to buy next — this is your wake-up call. Tune in to learn how to question the data, test the claims, and keep human intuition at the heart of smart investing.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction: The Illusion of Precision in Property Data00:27 – Guest Introduction: Luke Metcalfe01:50 – AI's Role in Property Decisions03:09 – Challenges and Limitations of AI in Real Estate05:16 – The Psychology of AI and Property Investment07:41 – AI's Persuasive Power and Ethical Concerns12:26 – Future of AI in Property Forecasting26:37 – Granularity and Local Knowledge in Property Data30:01 – The Importance of Human Experience in Property Evaluation37:18 – The Impact of Crime on Property Markets39:36 – Melbourne's Property Market Sentiment41:40 – The Role of Data in Real Estate47:36 – Future Trends and Technological ImpactsAbout the GuestLuke Metcalfe is an Australian entrepreneur and data scientist known for pioneering the use of large-scale analytics in understanding neighbourhood performance and property trends.After launching NationMaster, a global data platform attracting over 10 million monthly visitors, Luke founded Microburbs, a liveability and housing data company providing hyperlocal insights that help buyers, investors, and agents make informed decisions.

Ari Paparo and Eric Franchi sit down with Paul Bannister, Chief Strategy Officer of Raptive, unpack new research on how audiences respond to AI-written content, why trust changes depending on labeling and experience, and what shifting traffic patterns mean for publishers. The conversation moves from consumer behavior to the realities of the open web, the role of strong brands, and how AI tools are reshaping ad operations. Takeaways Readers trust AI content less when labeling is unclear. Suspicion of AI drops trust more than actual AI writing. People struggle to identify whether content is AI or human. Heavy AI users become highly skeptical of AI content. Traffic declines hit factual verticals harder than lifestyle. Strong brands cushion publishers from search volatility. Smaller sites dependent on SEO face the greatest risk. Reducing ad clutter can improve both outcomes and revenue. AI tools are speeding up slow ad ops and campaign setup. CTV continues to drive most of the open web growth.

Stacy Palmer leads The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the leading journal in the world of nonprofits.  In this Blue Sky conversation, she talks about the evolution of nonprofits into sophisticated organizations that do remarkable work around the world.  She describes the role of donors large and small, and how they're helping address challenges created by cuts in government funding.  Stacy also shares her belief that nothing gets done in this space without a healthy dose of optimism.    Chapters: 02:04 Origins of the Chronicle of Philanthropy  Stacy Palmer discusses the founding of The Chronicle of Philanthropy, explaining how the professionalization and growth of the nonprofit sector created a need for a dedicated publication.   05:09 Motivation and Evolution of Philanthropy  Stacy shares what inspires her in philanthropy, emphasizing the drive to make a difference and adapt to new global challenges like climate change.   07:14 Mega-Philanthropists and Giving Trends  Stacy discusses the significant growth of wealth and the rise of mega-philanthropists like Bill and Melinda Gates, who are making record-setting donations during their lifetimes. She also notes the concerning trend of a precipitous drop in the percentage of Americans who give to charity, now less than 50%.  09:50 Ted Turner's Impact on Giving  Bill Burke recalls Ted Turner's billion-dollar donation to the UN and his challenge to other billionaires, including Bill Gates, to give more. Stacy confirms Turner's inspiration for the mega-philanthropy boom and the Chronicle's tradition of ranking top givers, an idea Ted championed.  12:15 American Philanthropy vs. Government Aid  Stacy explains the strong American tradition of charitable giving and volunteering, partly due to fewer government social services compared to European countries. She addresses whether individual giving can fill gaps left by government cuts, noting that while people respond generously, philanthropic funds are tiny compared to government provisions.  14:05 Nonprofits in Media and Entrepreneurship  Stacy highlights the innovation possible in nonprofits and emphasizes that optimism is crucial for founders, who are a form of entrepreneur believing change is possible even when facing long-term, complicated problems.  18:02 Optimism in Nonprofit Work  She notes that almost all people in this field are optimists, tempered by reality, who believe individuals and collective efforts can make a difference.  20:09 Nonprofits Now Podcast & Burnout Stacy discusses her podcast, Nonprofits Now, which focuses on advice from nonprofit leaders to combat burnout, a common issue in the field.   25:01 Challenges and Volunteerism  Stacy addresses the inherent grind of nonprofit work due to long-term, complex problems and the perception that it's not a 'serious' career.   31:37 MacKenzie Scott's Philanthropic Model  Stacy details MacKenzie Scott's unique philanthropic approach, characterized by surprise, no-strings-attached gifts to often overlooked organizations. She highlights Scott's rigorous vetting process and the transformative impact of unrestricted funds, which combat nonprofit burnout caused by restrictive grants and overhead limitations.  39:39 Future Trends in Philanthropy Stacy forecasts a surge in charitable giving as communities experience the impact of service cuts, driving both individuals and foundations to step up.   45:39 Conclusion and Outreach  Stacy Palmer encourages listeners to find the "Nonprofits Now" podcast and visit philanthropy.com to learn more about the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Bill Burke thanks her for her inspiring insights and commitment to optimism in the nonprofit world, urging listeners to rate and subscribe to the Blue Sky Podcast.

Patients today don't just choose a dentist based on price or location—they choose the story you tell. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with Ian DeJong of Pain Free Dental Marketing to explore how storytelling has become the new backbone of dental marketing. We cover why reviews are “the Bitcoin of dental marketing,” how to attract the right patients instead of every patient, and the simple shifts you can make in your practice to stand out in a crowded market. If you've ever wondered how to move beyond generic messaging and truly connect with patients, this episode will show you the path forward. Here are some of the interesting stuff we talked about in this episode. Why Storytelling Matters: Patients aren't just buying services—they're buying your story, values, and unique approach to care. The Power of Reviews: As Ian puts it, “Reviews are the Bitcoins of dental marketing.” Reputation is now the #1 factor patients consider when choosing a dentist. Attracting the Right Patients: It's not about chasing every new patient—it's about attracting the right ones who align with your values and help prevent burnout. The Role of the Dentist: Marketing success depends on your participation—reviews, testimonials, and authentic messaging start in your office. What Sets Great Practices Apart: Generic “we treat patients like family” isn't enough. Distinct experiences, stories, and brand voice create lasting trust. Looking Ahead: The future of dental marketing is less about Google Ads and more about authentic social proof, storytelling, and meaningful patient connections.   — Key Takeaways 00:46 Introduction to Dental Marketing and Storytelling 03:02 Understanding Pain-Free Dental Marketing 07:25 The Shift to Storytelling in Dental Marketing 11:50 Differentiating Your Dental Practice 13:10 The Importance of Google Reviews 14:20 How Patients Select Dentists Today 20:30 Attracting the Right Patients 25:07 The Dentist's Role in Marketing Success 27:55 Future Trends in Dental Marketing 30:50 What May Fade in Dental Marketing 33:50 Lightning Round Q&A — Connect with Ian

If you want practical, future-facing insight from someone who leads the charge in building the future of CX, this is the episode for you. Here are three questions Greg answers on the show: What are the most significant shifts happening in customer experience today, and how is the CXPA responding? How can CX professionals and organizations approach AI ethically and effectively to enhance—not replace—the customer's voice? What does it take to earn C-suite respect for customer experience initiatives, and how can you build a business case that drives real outcomes?
