What if the moment where the buying decision actually gets made is still the part of the journey we understand the least?Agility depends on seeing what customers actually do — not just what they clicked — and being able to act on it while the promotion is still running.Today we're talking about the gap between where brands are putting their media money and where they can actually see it working. Retail media budgets are climbing, stores are getting reinvested in, and yet the shelf itself remains one of the least instrumented parts of the customer journey. We'll be covering:- Why the surge in retail media spend hasn't automatically produced better measurement.- What it takes to connect a digital impression to what a shopper actually does in the aisle.- How marketing, merchandising, and store operations have to work differently to act on any of it.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Angie Westbrock, CEO at Standard AI.About Angie WestbrockAngie Westbrock brings 20+ years of experience in retail, CPG and tech to her role as the CEO at Standard AI, the retail analytics startup valued at $1B that's helping retailers and brands understand shopper behavior so they can improve the customer experience and their bottom lines.

With trillions spent on digital ads to capture consumer attention, is the most powerful and effective channel for product discovery the one your brand is overlooking?Agility requires brands to move beyond a digital-only mindset and recognize that the modern customer journey fluidly moves between online and offline moments. It means building the capabilities to engage and measure impact in the physical world with the same precision we've come to expect from digital.Today, we're going to talk about the next evolution of retail media and why the physical store, far from being obsolete, is becoming the next great frontier for data-rich, high-impact customer engagement. We'll explore how brands can bridge the gap between their digital strategies and in-store realities to not only drive discovery but create measurable, full-funnel marketing moments.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Matt Eichorn, CEO and Co-Founder and Dilini Fernando, CMO at Freeosk.About Matt EichornVisionary entrepreneur Matt Eichorn has been at the forefront of evolving brand and shopper marketing experiences for the better part of 20 years.

In this podcast episode, Dr Carolina Kuepper-Tetzel interviews Dr Elida Cena (Queen's University Belfast) and Dr Ashley Robertson (University of Glasgow) about their recent study on “Studying with GenAI: Student views on the opportunities and risks of GenAI in higher education”. Their study centered students' voices in discussions about generative AI (GenAI) in higher education, aiming to explore how they use these tools, their perceived benefits, and concerns about the impact on learning and assessment. Conducted at Queen's University Belfast and the University of Glasgow, the research sought to uncover common experiences across different institutional contexts while recognizing the influence of local cultures.

How much of your marketing technology budget is quietly underperforming, not because the software is flawed, but because your teams can't, or won't, fully adopt it?Because real agility was never about buying faster tools. It's about having an operating model that can actually turn a tool's potential into results, and keep doing it as the tools keep changing.Today we're digging into the phase that quietly decides whether any martech investment pays off: what happens after the contract is signed with things like implementation and adoption. We'll get into:- Why rollouts stall — and why the real cause is usually the operating model, not the tool.- What it takes to move a team from "trained" to genuinely changed.- How to measure real value without fooling yourself with usage metrics.- And what shifts once the platform starts doing some of the work itself.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Kate Dalbey, Chief Client Officer at Qualified Digital.About Kate DalbeyAs CCO, Kate leads client management and growth initiatives at Qualified Digital, bringing over 20 years of digital marketing experience from both client-side and agency-side roles.

She passionately believes that digital experiences can change people's lives for the better and works diligently to see these outcomes arrive in real time. In her daily life at QD, Kate enjoys what she calls "the relentless pursuit of better business results" and takes pride in building the teams that can create them, from idea to strategy to plan to execution and measurement. Because what's next isn't enough, it's what's north that really gets her excited. Kate's career experience is deeply rooted in healthcare, across provider, payer, and life sciences. The client roster she's managed includes category powerhouses CVS Health, CommonSpirit Health, Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, Cigna, Aetna, Sunrise Senior Living, Gelesis, UNCH, Jefferson Health, Cedars-Sinai, Spaulding Rehabilitation, UHS, and Wedgewood Pharmacy.

The Product Momentum team reached out to Barry O'Reilly, seeking his expertise in helping product leaders rethink how organizations make decisions, innovate, and perform in the age of artificial intelligence. After a quick review of his CV – co-founder of Nobody Studios (a global Top 10 AI venture studio) and author of Artificial Organizations: Build Better Judgment, Speed, and Results with Human and Machine Intelligence (March 2026) – and we knew we had identified the ideal guest for this episode. In this conversation with Product Momentum, Barry explains that AI's greatest value comes not in replacing human judgment. Instead, it is in building systems that give humans greater capacity, better information, and stronger decision-making capabilities. Use AI to Bolster Human Judgment As Phil Hornby shared in episode 178, “decision-making lies at the heart of the product manager job.” AI can accelerate analysis, synthesis, and execution, Barry argues, but humans must remain responsible for the decisions themselves. AI is a powerful thinking partner that can plow through data, but it must not be the autonomous decision-maker some want it to be. “Judgment is like a muscle,” Barry continues. “If you stop using it, it starts to erode.” That erosion happens gradually. To product teams that are already overwhelmed, a polished AI response can feel good enough. That's why Barry recommends challenging AI rather than simply accepting its first response. Ask your new partner to expose blind spots, test assumptions, and provide disconfirming perspectives. The goal is not to eliminate human judgment. It is to use AI to make that judgment more informed and effective. Turn Administrative “Grunt” Work Into Product Intelligence AI can also give product teams more time for the work they find most valuable. Barry describes a common imbalance in product organizations: teams frequently spend only a small portion of their time actually solving complex problems. The rest goes toward meetings, documentation, status tracking, and other necessary administrative work. AI can reduce that burden by turning everyday interactions into useful organizational data. “Every time I'm sitting on customer calls, I transcribe them and put them into a database,” he says. My AI tool is constantly churning through customer comments to where I'm able to extract the key problems that keep coming up.” It's an approach that changes the role of AI from simple task automation to decision infrastructure. For product teams, these conversations become searchable sources of customer insight. Prototypes ≠ Production-Ready Products No one can argue the benefit of Gen AI's ability to dramatically lower the effort required to turn an idea into a working prototype; it creates exciting opportunities for product teams and executives. But it also introduces risk when over-anxious teams mistake prototypes for finished software. Barry has observed teams build impressive experiences quickly, only to discover serious problems when usage increases. “It's very easy to prototype these days; but it's still quite hard to productionize software.” Production software still requires thoughtful architecture, performance, security, and engineering discipline. For organizations operating at enterprise scale, that distinction matters even more. Responsible product development still requires the expertise needed to make the resulting system secure, reliable, and resilient. Listen to the full conversation with Barry O’Reilly to learn how product leaders can put the human-machine partnership to work. [04:58] Think about your decision-making process. Most of us never evaluate the way we make decisions; we're unaware of the internal algorithm that we're using to make them. [07:08] Machines are terrible decisionmakers. Machines are great at capturing information and synthesizing it. But they’re terrible at making decisions. That’s what humans are really, really good at. [15:02] The 80-20 rule applied. Before using these tools, I spent only 20% of my time on creative problem solving; now I’m at 40%…that’s a 100% improvement. [21:31] Judgment is like a muscle: if you stop using it, it starts to atrophy. [22:06] Ceding our agency is a road to perdition. Every time I don’t actively participate in a judgment call, I’m giving up my agency. I’m deferring my responsibility. The moment you start to give up on making the decisions is it’s a road to peridition. [31:09] It's very easy to prototype these days; but it's still quite hard to productionize software.

What if the biggest barrier to scaling your retail media investment isn't technology, but a fundamental disagreement on what success even looks like?Agility requires not just adopting new tools, but also being willing to challenge the measurement frameworks we've grown accustomed to.Today, we're going to talk about the nuanced world of in-store retail media measurement and why the old rules no longer apply. Specifically, we'll cover:- Why the standard approach to measuring in-store media, often borrowed from digital, is creating friction and stalling budget growth.- How to create a unified measurement language that aligns brands, retailers, and agencies around a common definition of success.- Practical steps to move in-store media from experimental budgets to scalable, repeatable investments grounded in actual product movement.To help me discuss this topic and ISM and IAB's recent report, I'd like to welcome Paul Brenner, SVP, Global Retail Media and Partnerships at In-Store Marketplace (ISM) and Collin Colburn, Vice President, Commerce & Retail Media at IAB) and Collin Colburn, Vice President, Commerce & Retail Media at IAB.About Paul BrennerPaul Brenner is Senior Vice President of Retail Media and Partnerships with 25+ years of leadership in media, entertainment, and ad tech.

[25:56] - How dynamic pricing and algorithms affect trust [28:57] - Why is building trust so difficult? [30:34] - Why trust is the currency in the AI era [32:44] - The Trust Algorithm book NOTABLE QUOTES: "Experience is the best teacher." "If you're not taking care of your people first, you're not going to have a company in order to help customers." "Agentic AI tools can make decisions for customers, but sometimes they don't understand those moments that matter, and they don't rarely understand the human touch. And that's why I believe humans are still important to delivering a great experience." "There's a human component to trust that just can't be made." "Customers won't leave a brand that they trust. Instead, they will increase their overall loyalty." "When you do the right thing for your employees, they will go to heights you can't even imagine to do the right thing for customers and to represent a company." "There are various companies that may or may not invest in the time or the money that it takes to reskill associates. So we all have to take control of our careers. We have to be more deliberate about how we think about how we want our careers to be." "Our educational system has to change. It must change, especially in the world of AI. Our education system has to evolve to teach students to be critical thinkers, and also to be more creative to generate new ideas, processes that perhaps don't exist today." "There are some schools that say they ban AI tools. I believe that's wrong, because in the real world, people are using them. There's so much value to utilizing these tools to accomplish so much more, faster." "Generative AI can be a very good thing if it is implemented in a fair and ethical way." "We can't resist the change. The change is here. Can't resist it, but we can implement it in a way that's value-driven."

What if the biggest screen in the home could be treated less like a billboard and more like a direct response channel?Agility requires moving beyond the "set it and forget it" mindset of traditional media.

Independent artists pay music distributors to get their songs onto Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and other major platforms—but what happens when something goes wrong and getting meaningful support becomes difficult?In “Paid to Distribute, Left Without Support: My TuneCore Experience as an Independent Artist,” Dellie takes a fact-based look at TuneCore customer support, refund policies, Content Review, automated help systems, response times and the challenges independent musicians can face when a release is delayed, rejected or disputed.The episode also examines TuneCore's current rules around AI-generated and AI-assisted music, the company's 14-day refund-request policy, the difference between canceling and receiving a refund, and why artists should document every release, payment, support ticket, UPC and ISRC.This episode is not about rumors or piling onto a company. It is about artist rights, transparency, accountability and understanding the fine print before paying for digital music distribution.If you are an independent artist, songwriter, producer or label owner using TuneCore—or considering TuneCore, DistroKid, CD Baby, UnitedMasters, LANDR, Symphonic or another distributor—this is a conversation worth hearing.Soulfood and Lemonade — Food for the Mind.

Whose job is it to ensure the brand promise you market is the same one your customers and employees actually experience?Real agility isn't just rapid execution — it's a whole organization responding as one to what customers, employees, and the market actually need.Today, we're talking about "Total Experience" and what it takes to make brand, customer, and employee experience add up to one company, not three. Specifically:- How to orchestrate brand, customer, and employee experience so they reinforce each other instead of competing.- The operational shifts that turn siloed functions into a single, trustworthy experience.- Why the CMO is uniquely positioned to champion this, and where that means owning parts of the business marketing hasn't traditionally touched.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Mack McGee, CMO at CareFirst, which was recently recognized at Forrester's CX Forum West as the top insurer in Total Experience.About Mack McGeeWith more than 20 years of experience in marketing and storytelling, Mack excels at connecting people and communicating impact in creative and meaningful ways.

The next 12 months of AI leaked. Kinda. For the past 90ish days, we've been quietly collecting evidence of what's next.1,030 saved posts. 90 Podcasts. Countless conversations. Every model drop, every leak, every quiet product update the big labs hoped you'd scroll past.Then we connected the dots.What came out the other side: 19 calls on where AI goes over the next 12 months. And some of them are uncomfortable.We're walking through all 19. Bring your team's AI roadmap. You'll want to edit it.

AI job diffusion is accelerating as companies move from AI experimentation to hiring, workflow redesign, and productivity gains. However, adoption remains uneven, favoring organizations and workers who build AI skills and adapt early. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which discusses how AI job diffusion is outrunning every tech wave before it.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/ai-job-diffusion-is-outrunning-every-tech-wave-before-it/

What happens to a brand when the story it tells about its AI adoption moves faster than the results it can actually show?Agility isn't about telling that story faster. It's about being able to change what you say — repeatedly, as the technology changes — without losing the thread of what your company is actually for.Today, we're going to talk about the widening gap between AI ambition and business reality, and what that means for enterprise marketing leaders. Specifically, we'll cover:- The shift from selling an AI vision to proving tangible value.- How AI is pushing marketing into closer alignment with product and revenue.- What it takes to build trust — inside the company and out — when the outputs of AI systems are hard to explain.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Mark Abramowitz, Chief Marketing Officer at Dataiku.About Mark AbramowitzMark Abramowitz is Chief Marketing Officer at Dataiku, The Platform for AI Success.

What if the real risk in your AI adoption plan isn't that the pilot fails — it's that it succeeds, and you still can't get it into production?Agility isn't how fast you can launch a pilot.

Summary Today Marc is chattin' with Richa Kaul, founder and CEO of an AI-based compliance automation platform. The conversation centered on how AI is reshaping enterprise governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), especially by helping organizations handle growing complexity without simply adding more headcount. The discussion quickly focused on how compliance teams can use automation and AI to streamline vendor risk, regulatory requirements, and other time-consuming workflows. Richa explained that his approach starts by separating what truly requires human judgment from what can be automated. A major theme was the mismatch between the speed of modern risk and the pace at which organizations can hire. Richa argued that risk is increasing faster than teams can scale, making it unrealistic to solve GRC challenges by just expanding staff. Instead, she framed the real question as what work should remain with humans and what work can be handled by AI or automation. She emphasized that teams are bogged down by urgent audit prep, repetitive tasks, and reactive “fire drills,” which prevents them from focusing on strategic risk reduction. The chat then moved into visibility and granularity in risk management, particularly around privacy. Richa noted that many CISOs and GRC leaders lack sufficient visibility into their organization's risks, especially because privacy is cross-functional and touches employees, users, operations, and regulatory obligations. She said this lack of clarity makes it difficult for leaders to confidently communicate risk to boards or determine where to invest time and resources. In her view, the biggest issue is not just managing risk, but being able to see it clearly enough to act on it. Another key topic was AI governance. Richa pointed out that many companies are paying attention to AI policy at the top level, but are not doing enough to train employees at the operational level, where mistakes are most likely to happen. She described the “last mile” of AI governance as especially vulnerable, since employees may unknowingly expose proprietary information by entering sensitive data into tools like GPT. According to Richa, human behavior is often the weakest link, and effective governance requires education and training throughout the organization, not just policy statements from leadership. Their chat also touched on industry-specific risk, with healthcare highlighted as a major area of concern. Richa said healthcare compliance appears underinvested compared with financial services, even though both are highly regulated and handle highly sensitive data. She closed by offering a practical starting point for companies facing generative AI challenges: map your most important data, follow it from input to output, identify the systems it touches, and secure each step of the journey. His overall message was optimistic — that even though the risk landscape feels overwhelming, organizations have tools, platforms, and partners that can help them manage it more effectively. Key Points AI can reduce compliance burden by automating repetitive GRC tasks. Organizations can't hire fast enough to keep up with rising risk and regulatory complexity. Many leaders lack clear visibility into privacy and cross-functional risk. AI governance fails most often at the employee level, not just the policy level. Healthcare compliance is highly exposed and may be underinvested relative to its risk. Key Quotes “Risk right now is increasing at a speed and at a rate that teams cannot possibly hire to mitigate.” “It is not the question of, should teams get smaller.

When a brand says it "used AI," that could mean anything from a tool speeding up a human's first draft to a system generating and shipping work on its own — and almost all of the real risk lives in the difference. So as AI moves deeper into creative work, which decisions are you certain still belong to a human?Real agility here isn't being quick with the latest tools. It's moving fast without losing the through-line that makes a brand recognizable — the ability to know exactly where human judgment stays non-negotiable.Today we're recording live at Ai4 2026 in Las Vegas at the Venetian, and we're going to talk about:- Drawing a clear line between where AI sharpens creative work and where it introduces unacceptable brand risk.- A practical look at how AI was used in a national campaign to improve the creative process, not just automate it.- The strategic shift as consumers move from traditional search engines to AI-powered platforms for discovery and research.To help me dig into this, I'd like to welcome Taryn Crouthers, CEO at Big Spaceship.About Taryn CrouthersTaryn Crouthers is the CEO of Big Spaceship, MSQ Partners' award-winning creative agency.

AI agents crashing.

Jose Martinez, Global Chief Data Officer at Coca-Cola FEMSA, says customers don't experience an AI system's mistake as a data problem — they experience it as a company that doesn't know them. Recorded live at Ai4 at the Venetian in Las Vegas, he and Greg Kihlström get into what has to be true underneath before AI systems can act on your data at all.A data foundation AI can act on is a different thing from one that produces reports. Martinez on what actually separates the two, and why a company can have working dashboards and still not have the foundation an automated decision requires.Across many markets and millions of points of sale, consistency is the constraint — not speed. Agility isn't really about moving faster; it's being able to change repeatedly without the company starting to contradict itself. Martinez on what keeps decisions consistent as more of them get automated.Foundational data work has to be justified without a campaign-shaped payoff. How to make the case internally when the return doesn't show up as a lift number, and what enterprise leaders can use instead.About Jose MartinezJose De Jesus Martinez Camara, MS, PMP, is an innovative executive currently serving as the Global Chief Data Officer at Coca-Cola FEMSA.

"How do you use AI every day?"

In this Diving Deep episode, Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr examine two big questions facing American medicine: how generative AI can make healthcare more affordable and what the World Cup can teach doctors about strategy, teamwork and leadership. The conversation begins with a counterintuitive point: In other industries, technology often lowers costs by allowing companies to produce the same output with fewer workers. But Dr. Pearl knows medicine is different. In healthcare, the biggest costs arise when preventable and controllable conditions turn into life-threatening complications. Therefore, he does not believe GenAI's greatest financial value in healthcare will come from replacing doctors and nurses. Pearl argues that the surest way to lower healthcare spending is by keeping people healthier. Poorly controlled hypertension, diabetes, heart failure and kidney disease drive many of the nation's most expensive complications, including heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, hospitalizations and surgeries. GenAI can help prevent those outcomes, and the savings could far exceed anything gained by reducing clinician headcount. From there, Pearl identifies three major opportunities for GenAI-driven improvements: Control chronic diseases by helping patients understand their conditions, track data from home devices and get medication adjustments sooner (rather than waiting months between office visits). Expand access to medical expertise after hours and on weekends. Improve care coordination and medication safety, especially for older adults with multiple chronic conditions. But technology alone will not be enough. So, the second half of the episode turns to entrepreneurship and leadership. Pearl discusses new research comparing expensive physician-facing AI tools with general-purpose large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. His takeaway for entrepreneurs is clear: the biggest opportunity may not be building costly tools for hospitals, but helping patients use the AI tools already available on their computers and smartphones to manage their health more effectively. That point leads into a broader lesson from the recent World Cup. Pearl argues that American medicine, like many talented teams that failed to win soccer's biggest prize, has extraordinary resources but lacks a shared strategy. The United States has exceptional doctors, world-class hospitals and more healthcare spending than any nation, yet outcomes remain inconsistent, access unreliable and costs unaffordable. The episode closes with a warning and a challenge. American medicine already has the talent, technology and financial resources to succeed. What it lacks is a clear strategy, coordinated teamwork and effective clinician leadership. If doctors want to improve care for patients and preserve the profession's values, Pearl argues, they will need to embrace new technology, work together differently and take responsibility for the system's performance.

Intelligence too cheap to meter -- could that actually be coming?

Jen and Noam take a (slight) break from discussing the depressing political news to talk about important things, like the controversies surrounding data centers and generative AI and the new Spider-Man movie. Important things.  We get a bit into the drama surrounding the YouTube content creator Hank Green, who has for some reason self canceled over his sin of….using ChatGPT to do his grunt work so that he can have more time to make more content. Yeah, we don't understand either. We also get into the thornier issue of authors allegedly using genAI in their writing, which has become a flashpoint in the anti-AI space. The issue is, who is to say if an author used genAI, the AI? Readers? Publishing houses? And at the end of the day, does it really matter to consumers, or is this the latest cause as identity?  And of course we do a fairly in depth discussion of the new Spider-Man movie Brand New Day, which brings us all the way back to episode 0 of this podcast when we talked about No Way Home. Ah, the nostalgia. Warning - we do spoilers so if you don't want any of that (and have somehow managed to miss spoilers elsewhere) then save the back half of this episode for after you've seen the movie.   

OpenAI has a new model coming soon called Astra. Was it a leak? A reddit post? Some backdoor update? Nope, OpenAI made some crazy discoveries and math then told the world that their next model family Astra did the heavy lifting. (And you thought you could just click ‘Sol' and your strategy was set for Q3?) Aside from news on what's next from OpenAI, this week saw multiple new agent outbreaks, AI competitors banning together to pace AI, Amazon doing a 180 on its AI strategy and a lot more. Don't get left behind.

People are calling the new ChatGPT Voice their “AGI moment.”

Every major AI lab signed the Open Weights letter defending open models. Meta, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia.Anthropic was the only holdout.Yesterday, its CEO, Dario Amodei, published a thoughtful defense of that decision to not fully support open weight or open source models. Here's what nobody's connecting: the money trail. Roughly 80% of Anthropic's revenue is businesses paying per token. Free Chinese open models attack that exact revenue stream weeks before Anthropic is set to go public. On today's show we break down what Dario actually said, what he said before, and why we think this was written for Washington policymakers and not for the rest of us.Anthropic Responds: Why Claude's CEO didn't sign the open model pact and the real reasons why -- An Everyday AI Chat with Jordan WilsonNewsletter: Sign up for our free daily newsletterMore on this Episode: Episode PageToday's Episode on LinkedIn: Thoughts on this?

"As algorithms and AI increasingly automate the ""what"" and the ""how"" of marketing, what is the enduring value of human creativity, and how do we prove its worth?Agility requires not just adapting our tools, but fundamentally rethinking how we define, nurture, and measure creative value in a world increasingly guided by machine logic.Today, we're going to talk about the intersection of brand creativity and artificial intelligence.

In the push to integrate AI into go-to-market strategies, are we optimizing for activity or for intelligence?Agility requires not just adopting new technologies like AI, but critically evaluating how they deliver contextual intelligence. It's about adapting your strategy based on smarter signals, not just automating existing processes at a higher volume.Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond the hype of generic AI in sales and marketing to focus on what actually drives revenue. We'll explore the concept of vertical AI, specifically for go-to-market teams selling to technical audiences, and how decoding intent signals from public developer conversations can create a significant competitive advantage.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Tal Peretz, CEO and Co-Founder at Onfire. About Tal PeretzTal Peretz is the CEO and Co-Founder of Onfire, a contextual AI platform that helps technology companies decode real-time market signals and drive revenue growth using developer and IT buyer intent data.
