Host: Chris FletcherGuests:Liz McKinnon – Strategic Accounts, Sky Business (13+ years at Sky)Jatin Chandwani – Chief Product & Growth Officer, Byte by Yum (overseeing KFC, Taco Bell, Habit Burger & Pizza Hut's SaaS platform)Recorded live on stage, this episode dives deep into how reliable connectivity has become the backbone of modern hospitality operations — from QSR chains to stadia. The conversation covers how real-time data, AI-driven automation, and seamless guest experiences are all dependent on getting the fundamentals of connectivity right.1. The Three C's of Connectivity (Liz McKinnon)Coverage – ensuring your restaurant has signal everywhere it needsCapacity – handling the growing volume of data trafficConnectivity – making it fit for purpose and reviewing it continuously, not just at install2. Connectivity as a Data Continuity Engine (Jatin Chandwani)Connectivity has evolved from a utility (like water or electricity) to a mission-critical data pipelineWithout it, team members work blind and guest experience suffers immediatelyDigital orders (mobile app, aggregators, kiosks) can make up 30–60% of revenue — all dependent on connectivity3. Speed, Taste & Experience in QSRThe challenge of serving fresh food (e.g. KFC's 15-min cook time) to customers who expect it in 2 minutesTechnology and data forecasting are key to managing this tensionAI forecasting for inventory and labor scheduling has delivered measurable improvements4. Real-Time Data & Agentic AIMoving from "dashboard era" (acting on yesterday's data) to agentic workflows (acting within the shift)Fryer data, hot-hold systems, sales data and customer data combined = next best action in real timeProperly connected stores can improve performance by 10–20%Kill switches and guardrails are essential — AI governance must be built in from day one, not added later5. Guest WiFi as a Business Channel"Snacking data" — QSR customers connect briefly; stadia customers stay for hours; both need seamless WiFiGuest connectivity supports app check-ins, order status, and acquisition/retentionWiFi splash pages can drive promotions, loyalty sign-ups, and personalized messaging6. GDPR & Consent> "Bad consent kills good data. Good consent builds long-term customer relationships." — Jatin ChandwaniGDPR is not a constraint — it's a trust engineSky supports customers with a robust framework to handle data collection properlyTargeted, meaningful consent leads to better, more relevant customer conversations7. The Future: Unified EcosystemsOperators must move away from point solutions toward unified, connected ecosystemsAI + connectivity together will automate mundane tasks, reduce team cognitive load, and elevate the customer experience"We're moving from the age of dashboards to the age of agent workflows for specific business outcomes." — Jatin Chandwani"You cannot function without connectivity." — Jatin Chandwani"It's not install and forget — you put it in and you re-look at it." — Liz McKinnon"We were dropping money on the floor because of poor connectivity." — Chris Fletcher"Humans are craving more human connection — tech should free up your team to provide that." — Jatin ChandwaniTreat connectivity like labour and food cost — it belongs at the boardroom tableReview and right-size your connectivity estate regularly as your tech stack evolvesBuild redundancy and failover into your solution — downtime is immediately visible in salesPartner with your connectivity provider; it's an evolving relationship, not a one-time installStart collecting consented, structured data now — it's the foundation for everything AI will enablePowered by Sky Business.

What is really happening with Zionism among Jews today?In this episode of The Long Path Podcast, we sit down with Mimi Kravetz, Chief Impact and Growth Officer at the Jewish Federations of North America, where she leads research and strategy on Jewish identity, engagement, and attitudes toward Israel across North America.Together, we break down the recent JFNA poll data showing a surge in Zionism, and what it actually tells us about the current moment. While headlines often focus on the rise of anti-Zionist voices, the data suggests a far more complex reality.We explore the terms “Zionism gap” and “Zionism surge,” unpacking how different generations of Jews relate to Israel today—and whether the narrative of a growing movement of anti-Zionist Jews reflects reality or perception.The conversation also goes beyond the data into a deeper question: what does Jewish community building look like right now? As polarization grows online and in public discourse, Mimi shares insights into how communities can strengthen connections, rebuild trust, and create meaningful engagement.Topics discussed include:• The latest JFNA polling on Zionism• What the “Zionism gap” and “Zionism surge” really mean• Are anti-Zionist Jews actually on the rise?• The gap between online narratives and real-world data• The future of Jewish community building• Bridging generational and ideological dividesIf you're trying to understand the evolving relationship between Jews, Israel, and Jewish identity today, this episode provides essential context and clarity.Follow The Long Path Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongpathpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelongpathpodLearn more about Z3:https://z3project.org#Zionism #JewishCommunity #Israel #JewishIdentity #JewishPodcast

Episode 192 In this episode, I sit down with Ginger Bell, Growth Officer for the National Association of Mortgage Brokers, for a conversation every mortgage professional should hear. We talk about how NAMB is doing far more than advocacy on Capitol Hill. The association is creating real value for its members through industry support, benefits, education, and a stronger voice for mortgage professionals across the country. We also break down why now is a great time to get involved. NAMB membership is normally just $150 per year, but listeners can join for only $99 using the code LOBC. On top of that, Ginger shares details about the upcoming Advocacy in Action event on April 21, 2026, where for just $99, attendees can travel to Washington, D.C., meet with lawmakers, step inside the Capitol, and directly advocate for the issues that matter most to the mortgage business. If you've ever wanted to have a bigger impact in this industry, this is one of the most powerful ways to do it. This episode is a great reminder that getting involved is not only good for your business, it is good for the future of the mortgage profession.

Send us your feedback In this episode, Banking Senior Associate Emma Geard, speaks with Philip Bruno, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at ACI Worldwide, about payments modernisation – what it is, why it matters for New Zealand right now, and the global lessons that can help guide successful implementation.[01:14] Emma and Philip discuss ACI Worldwide's global role in payments modernisation, including its work providing payments infrastructure software and services to banks and central banks across more than 90 countries.[02:04] They consider why payments modernisation is becoming increasingly important for New Zealand. Philip notes that although New Zealand has a strong and highly digital economy, its payments system has not fully kept pace, particularly in relation to instant payments. Emma and Philip discuss how modernisation would help ensure the payments ecosystem supports that digital strength, boosting economic growth, enabling faster everyday transactions, and positioning New Zealand to take advantage of future innovation.[03:11] Emma and Philip explore the broader scope of payments modernisation beyond simply increasing speed. Philip explains that modern payment systems include not only instant, irrevocable fund transfers but also richer messaging and information layers that automate business processes delivering efficiency gains. He adds that modern infrastructure also paves the way for new consumer and commerce innovations, including fast peer to peer payments and seamless one click purchasing.[05:45] Philip and Emma examine global adoption trends, highlighting Denmark as a standout success story whose approach to payment modernisation offers valuable lessons for other countries.[07:48] Emma asks Phil about the most important  decisions that could aid New Zealand's modernisation program. Phil outlines three key lessons from overseas: build with modern, modular infrastructure; prioritise the consumer and business applications that will drive adoption and real usage; and ensure incentives are aligned across the value chain so all participants have a sustainable business case to invest.[10:01] Lastly, they talk about the importance of designing fraud architecture into the system from the outset rather than retrofitting it later, which has proved a challenge in other jurisdictions.Information in this episode is accurate as at the date of recording, 9 March 2026.Please contact Emma Geard or our Banking team if you need legal advice and guidance on For show notes and additional resources visit minterellison.co.nz/podcasts

As every brand rushes to adopt generative AI, what if the greatest competitive advantage is no longer about speed and scale, but about sounding uniquely, verifiably human?Agility requires moving beyond the hype of new technology to strategically apply it for true differentiation. It's about being smart and selective, not just fast.Today, we're going to talk about a paradox at the heart of modern marketing. Generative AI has promised unprecedented scale and personalization, but for many, it's delivering a sea of sameness where brand voice gets lost.

As every brand rushes to adopt generative AI, what if the greatest competitive advantage is no longer about speed and scale, but about sounding uniquely, verifiably human? Agility requires moving beyond the hype of new technology to strategically apply it for true differentiation. It's about being smart and selective, not just fast. Today, we're going to talk about a paradox at the heart of modern marketing. Generative AI has promised unprecedented scale and personalization, but for many, it's delivering a sea of sameness where brand voice gets lost. We'll explore how to break free from this generic output, moving from a reactive "test and learn" model to a predictive one, and discuss the critical balance of combining AI's power with essential human expertise to maintain brand soul, safety, and performance across countless channels. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Toby Coulthard, Chief Product & Growth Officer at Jacquard. About Toby Coulthard Toby Coulthard is Chief Product & Growth Officer at Jacquard.

For years, healthcare has talked about patients as informed consumers. Now, many of them are showing up informed before they ever touch a health system. In this episode of Touch Point, hosts Chris Boyer and Reed Smith unpack what's behind OpenAI's launch of ChatGPT Health and why it signals a meaningful shift in how people seek, process, and act on health information. The conversation starts with a look at new research from OpenAI that shows how millions of people are already using ChatGPT for healthcare related questions. Not hypotheticals. Real behavior. Real scale. From understanding lab results to navigating insurance, AI has quietly become a first stop in the health journey. From there, Chris and Reed break down what ChatGPT Health actually does, what it does not do, and why that distinction matters for health systems, marketers, and experience leaders. They explore how AI is filling gaps created by short appointments, fragmented records, and limited access, and what that means for trust, preparation, and patient expectations moving forward. They then feature an interview with Brandon Scott, Chief Innovation and Growth Officer of TenAdams, that grounds the discussion in reality, examining where AI genuinely helps patients, where it creates new tensions, and why slow moving, walled garden thinking is increasingly out of step with how people now manage their health. This is not an episode about replacing clinicians. It is about understanding a new layer of the patient experience that already exists and deciding how healthcare organizations respond to it. If your digital strategy still assumes the website is the first interaction, or that education starts after the visit, this episode will challenge that assumption.

In this episode, host Paul Gibson talks with Meta Karagianni about the critical shift toward a client-led go-to-market strategy. Meta shares powerful insights from her recent study of over 100 global CMOs, revealing their top priorities and challenges for 2025. This discussion is a masterclass for any leader looking to move beyond siloed functions and build a truly unified, client-centric organization.Meta provides a clear, actionable framework for success. The conversation covers everything from defining your North Star to developing the right skills within your team. You will learn why optimizing for audiences is more important than optimizing for channels and how to prove marketing's value as a driver of profitable growth, not just a cost center. This is your playbook for building a GTM strategy that wins.Key takeawaysClient-centricity is non-negotiable The most successful, high-growth companies are the ones that infuse client-centricity across all go-to-market functions—sales, marketing, product, and customer service. It's the foundation for every other strategic decision.Growth is about existing customers The top growth strategies for CMOs are key account growth (67%) and customer expansion (63%). The focus has shifted from "growth at all costs" to sustainable, profitable growth driven by retaining and expanding your current customer base.Orchestration trumps siloed programs A critical gap for many organizations is the lack of a connecting tissue between brand, demand, and customer programs. True success comes from orchestrating a unified GTM campaign, not just running separate initiatives.High-growth companies invest more in marketing Data shows that high-growth companies invest significantly more—about 35% more—in their marketing budget. Don't cut the budget; make it more effective by aligning marketing with sales and focusing on the right accounts.Take emotion out of alignment Achieve true cross-functional alignment by grounding conversations in data, not opinions. Use frameworks to diagnose capability gaps and establish a shared terminology and vision for success across the leadership team.Quotes"We are moving away from that mindset that existed a few years back, growth at all costs. No, that's no longer growth at all costs. It is growth that is sustainable, that is profitable."Resource recommendationsBooks:Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI  by Ethan Mollick.Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World by Jacqueline Brassey, Aaron De Smet, and Michiel Kruyt.Shout-outsElise Finn - Director and Co-founder of NguziChange.comAbout the GuestMeta Karagianni is the Chief Consulting and Growth Officer at MomentumABM.

If you just confined your view to the top four brokers, you might easily assume that not much has happened in the US retail broking segment in the last ten years. But if you broadened you view to the top ten or twenty, you'd be faced with a very large number of billion-dollar-plus revenue broking groups that you would have been hard pressed to name ten years ago and many of which didn't exist as far back as the turn of the millennium. This has come about through huge sums in private investment, a lot of strategic realignment and a considerable amount of M&A. There are a lot of untold stories buried in this remarkable era of expansion and this podcast is all about beginning to remedy that because today's guest forms part of this remarkably fast-evolving cohort. Gregg Bundschuh is the chief Growth Officer at EPIC, the retail broking arm of the wider Galway Holdings business, which also includes wholesaler JENCAP. As the business approaches $2bn in annual revenues and this podcast does a thorough examination of the intermediary's specialist business model. As a construction lawyer turned construction broker, entrepreneur and now senior management executive, Gregg's career is in many ways a personal embodiment of what EPIC is trying to build. It's all about highly-specific top-down vertical industry expertise that gives an edge in chosen niches, adding more value and building a loyal and growing customer base that doesn't want to be without your specialist knowledge. The icing on the cake is to then try to orchestrate all the different specialisms so that the client can be served everything they need through a co-ordinated EPIC offering. It's an incredibly ambitious and challenging way of doing business and one that is setting the bar extremely high. For example, continued above-average growth is needed to fund constant reinvestment in keeping the knowledge and talent base at the cutting edge. But it's also incredibly refreshing and makes for an enlightening and enjoyable discussion. Gregg is great company and is an insurance player to his core. Listen on and the next 50 minutes will give you an awful lot of original business ideas to think about.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I am joined by Scarlett Sieber, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at Money20/20, to explore the key trends shaping finance's future. As Money20/20 Europe celebrates its 10th anniversary, Scarlett provides a detailed preview of what we can expect from this year's event, bringing together over 8000 senior industry leaders to discuss the evolving landscape of fintech, regulation, and technology. Money20/20 Europe is not just a conference. It is a critical platform for addressing the big questions about where money, tech, and regulation are headed. Scarlett highlights the growing collaboration between traditional banks and fintech companies, calling it the "golden era" of partnerships. This shift drives innovation, and we discuss how these partnerships are evolving to enable more personalized, efficient financial services for businesses and consumers alike. A significant focus of our conversation is the rise of stablecoins, which are transforming cross-border payments in ways similar to how the internet changed the telecom industry. We talk about the regulatory challenges that need to be addressed to fully harness their potential and ensure their adoption on a global scale.  Scarlett also shares insights into how AI revolutionizes financial services, enabling more intelligent, automated solutions while raising important questions about trust, data privacy, and security. We also discuss the impact of the UK's post-Brexit regulatory flexibility, with Scarlett explaining how this presents a unique opportunity for the UK to lead in fintech innovation. However, she points out that policy execution must keep pace with technological advancements. Tune in for a conversation about the future of fintech and a timely preview of Money20/20 Europe, where innovation and regulatory discussions will define the next wave of financial services.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Rishad Tobaccowala, former Publicis Groupe Strategy & Growth Officer, speaker, author, and podcast host of "What's Next."

Welcome to episode #974 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Rishad Tobaccowala is one of those rare thinkers who can seamlessly connect the dots between business, technology, media, and human behavior - so it's always a pleasure to have him back on the show. A true industry veteran, Rishad has spent decades shaping the marketing and media landscape, from his time as Global Chief Strategist and Growth Officer at Publicis Groupe to becoming a sought-after author, advisor, and speaker. His latest book, Rethinking Work - Seismic Changes In The Where, When, And Why, dives deep into the fundamental shifts happening in the workforce, from the decline of the 9-to-5 model to the rise of hybrid work, decentralized careers, and leadership that prioritizes talent over corporate loyalty. Rishad's first book is Restoring The Soul Of Business and his newsletter, The Future Does Not Fit In The Containers Of The Past, and podcast, What Next?, are not to be missed. In our conversation, we explore the evolving role of leadership, the impact of AI on employment, and how brands must rethink trust in an era where consumers are more aligned with individuals than institutions. Rishad also shares his insights on how businesses can remain relevant by embracing change rather than resisting it, and why the future of work will require companies to shift from management-driven structures to ones that emphasize agility, learning, and human connection. Thoughtful, provocative, and always ahead of the curve, Rishad brings the kind of clarity we need as we navigate a world of constant disruption.
