Fewer than one in four companies have redesigned their workflows to capture value from AI. Stephen Wunker, Managing Director at New Markets Advisors, has advised Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft and Meta through AI transformation challenges that go far beyond technology adoption. The discussion covers his "octopus organization" framework for distributing intelligence across teams, the three diagnostic questions that reveal AI readiness (what humans won't, shouldn't, and can't do), and why successful AI implementation requires cross-functional champions rather than traditional project management approaches.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Companies are treating AI as an IT rollout rather than a fundamental business transformation. Stephen Wunker, Managing Director at New Markets Advisors, explains why this approach will become a costly strategic mistake within three years.

This week we acknowledge the US strikes on Iran and the escalation that has followed. The immediate human cost is what matters most right now. But this crisis is unfolding within a global system still shaped by oil markets and fossil fuel dependence - a dependence that amplifies regional instability and turns into global vulnerability.The same structural tensions sit at the heart of this week's conversation, recorded before these events. Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country, one of its largest coal exporters, and a nation with every natural resource it needs to transition to clean energy. The problem isn't will, it's money. Who it's available to, and on what terms.Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson are joined by Sri Mulyani Indrawati - Indonesia's former Finance Minister under three different presidents, former Managing Director of the World Bank, and one of the most credible voices in the world on exactly this set of challenges. She walks through what it actually costs to retire a single coal plant years ahead of schedule, why developing countries find themselves trapped by contracts they signed in good faith, and why the international finance system is making the transition harder, not easier.Countries like Indonesia borrow at far higher rates than wealthier economies, even as they face greater exposure to climate impacts. When that exposure feeds into credit ratings, the cost of capital rises, making clean energy investment more expensive precisely where it is needed most.In a system that makes decarbonisation harder for the countries most vulnerable to climate impacts, who pays?Learn More:

Michelle Arpin Begina is the Founder of MichelleAB, where she empowers professional women to gain financial freedom. She is also the Senior Partner and Managing Director at Snowden Lane Partners, an independent wealth advisory firm. As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®), Michelle has over 20 years of experience in financial literacy. In this episode… Women strive to maximize their careers, relationships, and health, but struggle to manage their finances. Despite having advisors and resources, many still feel insecure or avoidant around financial decisions. Why are conversations around money so uncomfortable, and how can women break this barrier? According to financial advisor and therapist Michelle Arpin Begina, our earliest money experiences and unconscious emotional patterns shape our financial perspectives as adults. She explains the importance of identifying emotional triggers and embedded beliefs surrounding money that influence decision-making. Security, freedom, power, and love often drive financial behaviors, so Michelle encourages women to reflect on their first money conversations and explore how these narratives influence them. In this episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Andrea Heuston interviews Michelle Arpin Begina, Founder of MichelleAB, about how past experiences shape financial decisions. Michelle talks about financial déjà vu, the four emotional motivations behind money behavior, and the role of vulnerability in building financial confidence.

In this edition of Plan Sea, hosts Anna Madlener and Wil Burns are joined by Frank Rattey and Dr. Thorben Amann of Planeteers — a Hamburg-based carbon removal startup researching alkalinity-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches — to discuss the science behind their closed-system pathway, their first field tests, and the national regulations guiding ocean-climate research.Dr. Thorben Amann is the Research and Development Lead at Planeteers and a geochemical CDR specialist. In this episode, Thorben explains how Planeteers' closed-system approach differs from other ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) strategies. Rather than dissolving alkalinity directly in the ocean to drive carbon dioxide uptake, Planeteers combines carbon dioxide from point sources and alkaline feedstock in a closed reactor where it forms stable alkalinity and is then discharged into rivers or oceans. Thorben walks through the chemistry behind this process and explains how this approach offers advantages for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV). Because inputs and outputs are in a controlled reactor, Thorben asserts it's easier to conduct monitoring and initial reporting. At the same time, Thorben highlights a key challenge for the field: ensuring the stability of the alkalinity after discharge. For carbon storage to be durable, he explains that the alkalinity must remain equilibrated and stable. Frank Rattey, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Planeteers, then discusses Project Helix, Planeteers' first field deployment located at a wastewater treatment plant in Hetlingen, Germany. Validated through the registry Isometric, this first-of-its-kind research project discharges alkalinity-enriched water into the treatment plant's aquatic system to provide long-term carbon storage. Noting that Germany is the only country in the world that has translated the London Convention London Protocol into national law, Frank also offers insight into how Planeteers is operating under Germany's regulatory environment. In order to conduct their field research safely and responsibly, Planeteers cooperates with wastewater treatment plants, construction permits, and regional water authorities in the country.To learn more about Planeteers' closed-system, alkalinity-based CDR approach, listen to the episode above, subscribe with your favorite podcast service, or find the entire series here.

A feasibility study to explore the potential for Ireland's first full-scale marine biorefinery has been officially launched by the Mara Blue initiative, with support from the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme and Cork County Council. The project is being led by Munster Technological University (MTU) in collaboration with Pure Ocean Algae, and the Castletownbere Fishermen's Co-Op, and represents a significant step towards exploring Ireland's potential to be a leader in the sustainable blue bioeconomy. The Mara Blue feasibility study is being co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27. The Smart Regions Scheme, implemented and administered by Enterprise Ireland, supports the different regions of the country in harnessing cutting-edge technologies and world-class expertise, and supports initiatives like Mara Blue with supports for early-stage project exploration. The long-term ambition of the Mara Blue project is to unlock the potential of Ireland's marine resources, transforming seaweed and fish by-products into high-value products for global markets. The proposed facility is intended to serve as a living lab for developing and demonstrating new products and circular economy solutions, and it is intended it would operate as dedicated, not-for-profit entity. "The Mara Blue project is more than a facility; it's a vision for Ireland's oceans and coastal communities," said Michael O'Neill, Managing Director of Pure Ocean Algae "it could unlock economic potential, drive innovation, and ensure our marine resources are used sustainably for generations to come." Professor Maggie Cusack, MTU President commented "This feasibility study represents the first critical step in bringing this world-class marine biorefinery to life. By demonstrating the viability of a circular, sustainable, and commercially robust blue bioeconomy, the feasibility study will pave the way for the south-west region to become a global leader in marine innovation, environmental stewardship, and regional regeneration." Earmarked for Dinish Island, Castletownbere, and subject to validation of the commercial and technical viability of the initiative, the proposed facility will seek to focus on functional foods, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, animal feed, sustainable agricultural inputs, and biomedical ingredients. Through investigating the efficient use of underutilised marine biomass, the proposed initiative seeks to create economic, environmental, and social value while supporting national and EU objectives related to the Green Deal, the Bio-Economy Strategy, and the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership. Darragh Cotter, South-West Regional Manger for Enterprise Ireland said that "the feasibility study will enable the evaluation of the technical, commercial, and community potential for a marine biorefinery in the South-West region, which may help realise the long term opportunities for value-add processing and exports of marine bioproducts. Enterprise Ireland looks forward to working closely with the Mara Blue consortium to progress this exciting project proposal." The industry consortium includes Pure Ocean Algae (POA), Castletownbere Fishermen's Co-op (CFC), Oir na Farraige, Wicklow Seaweed Company, Coulagh Bay Sea Farms, VOYA, Carbery Group, and ClonBio Group. These members bring commercial expertise, market access, and scaling potential to the project. Academic institutions, including MTU, UCC, and TUS, as well as Research Centres including Centre for Applied Bioscience Research ensure support for research, training, and innovation.

I really enjoyed today's interview because it outlines what is quite an original proposition in a very competitive marketplace. Jonathan Tritton is the Managing Director of Burns & Wilcox Global Solutions, which is the London and International wholesale broking arm of the US-headquartered Kaufman Group. The group has been formed via the coming together of the Chesterfield and Lochain Patrick broking businesses. So far, so familiar, you might say – a US-led broking group with London operations is hardly a big deal. But Jonathan is a recent joiner and the pitch he makes for his new employer is compelling. As the insurance value chain becomes more technologically advanced and much more efficient at allocating the right risks to the right distribution channels and the right forms of underwriting capital, despite the headwinds of the softening market, Jonathan is very optimistic about the growth prospects for his business unit. With a good combination of, sufficient scale and resources to be in the game and an enormous amount of room to grow, Jonathan's optimism has an authentic ring to it. In this podcast specific growth plans, the digitisation and facilitisation of the market and Jonathan's ambitions for a Lloyd's syndicate as well as his thoughts on AI all get a full airing. Jonathan has been on the podcast before and is a very relaxed, eloquent and energetic interviewee, so this is an episode that will fly by.

Long-term investing can feel more difficult when headlines are loud and markets seem unpredictable. What happens when investors stop reacting to daily noise and start thinking like institutions that plan decades ahead? In this episode, Robert Curtiss welcomes Chris Schelling, CAIA, Managing Director at Aksia, to explore how private markets have shaped institutional portfolios and why some individual investors may now gain access to approaches like those used by institutions, depending on account type, regulatory eligibility, and minimum investment requirements. They break down private equity, private credit, liquidity planning, diversification across vintages, and the importance of manager selection. The conversation also touches on volatility, long-term return expectations, and what advisors and investors should look for when evaluating alternative investments. Key takeaways: How institutional investors approach private markets — and what does that mean for access and implementation for individual investors with long-term horizons and diversified portfolios Why private equity and private credit returns differ from public markets over multi-year periods The role of liquidity planning and why private investments are not truly locked up for a decade Why manager selection matters more in private markets than in public equities How simplified structures have made private investments easier for individual investors to access And more!

The grid has been here before. Between 1960 and 2000, US utilities grew demand 4–5x while cutting real electricity prices by 20%, and the lessons from that era are more relevant than ever.Mark Dyson is Managing Director of Electricity at RMI, where he's spent nearly two decades working on grid modernization, distributed energy resources, and the policy and market design that holds it all together. Before returning to RMI, he led analytics at Ascend Analytics, giving him a rare vantage point across both the technical and market sides of the energy transition.In this episode, Mark draws on that history to make the case that data center load growth isn't the crisis it's being framed as — it's a solvable problem, and virtual power plants are a big part of the solution. He breaks down why VPPs are 40–60% cheaper than gas peakers or batteries for meeting new peak demand, and what it actually takes to deploy them at scale.This episode covers:- The three lessons from last century's grid growth: embrace new technology, invest proactively in infrastructure, and make the most of existing capacity- Why virtual power plants are the fastest, most affordable tool for meeting data center demand growth- Why hyperscalers resist flexible load at the project level — and how paying others to curtail resolves that tension- Navigating permitting headwinds and the post-OBBBA policy environmentIf you're working on the energy transition, Mark's perspective on what history can actually teach us about today's challenges is essential listening.Learn more about RMI here.
