Podcasts about next era

Logicalis, the leading global technology service provider, has released its annual CIO Report, revealing that 43% of CIOs globally, and 38% of CIOs in Ireland and the UK, often wish AI had never been invented, reflecting the mounting pressure on IT leadership to manage an adoption curve that is outpacing the frameworks needed to support it. The new report, Harnessing AI: IT Leadership in the Next Era of Enterprise Technology, was conducted by Vanson Bourne on behalf of Logicalis, surveying more than 1,000 CIOs across the globe, including Ireland. It paints a picture of organisations caught between ambition and preparedness. While 94% of CIOs report that their organisation's appetite for AI has increased over the last 12 months, more than half (51%) believe adoption is moving too fast. The research reveals a series of critical gaps in how organisations are managing AI at ground level, with 66% of CIOs believing their organisation does not provide sufficient employee training on AI risk, or the responsible use of it. Just 37% say their organisation has full visibility of the AI tools and services being used within teams. With governance gaps widening, it is perhaps unsurprising that 57% believe employees are already putting data security at risk through AI tools, while 34% say AI has created new security blind spots. Meanwhile, 59% believe they are too reliant on a single AI vendor for critical functions. CIOs admit that the pace of change has led to trade-offs in their own roles too, with 62% saying they have compromised on AI governance due to a lack of knowledge and understanding. Taken together, these findings point to an industry-wide reckoning with the true cost of moving fast on AI without the foundations in place to do so responsibly. Despite concerns, CIOs are clear about AI's potential. Innovation remains the strongest driver of continued investment, with the top three cited benefits being: strengthening predictive analytics, data-driven forecasting and actionable business insights (56%); improving day-to-day service delivery (45%); and enhancing customer experience (45%). Bob Bailkoski, CEO, Logicalis, said: "This year's report reveals a complex challenge for CIOs navigating the biggest innovation of our lifetime. Organisations are not short of ambition or appetite for AI, they are short of the frameworks, skills and confidence to deploy it at scale. The challenge right now is not whether to invest in AI, but how to build the foundations that will make that investment effective, safe and sustainable. Today's CIO is no longer just a technology operator, they are strategically coordinating risk, ensuring accountability and driving value creation throughout the entire organisation." Mairead Malone, Ireland Country Lead, Logicalis UK&I states: "CIOs in Ireland and worldwide are rapidly shifting and evolving their priorities to keep pace with the acceleration of AI adoption. While they see the benefits, CIOs have legitimate concerns, focusing on the vital requirement for robust AI governance to support responsible deployment. Globally, CIOs are sending a warning sign: while the benefits of AI warrant widespread adoption, we must be prepared for that revolution. It is one that will bring immeasurable benefits to business, but one that must be managed with great caution."

In this episode, we explore the paradox of gout—one of the most biologically understood and treatable diseases in medicine, yet still among the most poorly controlled chronic conditions in practice. With effective therapies readily available, why do patients continue to cycle through painful flares, start and stop medications, and return to clinics and hospitals in a pattern that feels like a recurring failure? We unpack the complex interplay between biology, patient behavior, medication adherence, and health system barriers, asking whether the problem lies in the disease itself or in how care is delivered. As new treatments emerge, we also question whether innovation alone can solve the problem—or whether lasting change requires fixing the systems struggling to fully use the tools already at hand.

Over there, when the money is handled. Over there, when the kids are grown. Over there, when we hit the number, lose the weight, build the business, or finally step away. Then, we'll enjoy our lives. But what if you didn't have to wait to retire to start living beautifully? What if "retirement" isn't about escaping your life… but redesigning it? In this episode, we're exploring:   • Why the retirement fantasy is really about a feeling – and how to access that feeling now • What actually happens to people after they retire (it's not what you'd expect) • The real reason you want to burn it all down (hint: it's probably not the work itself) • Why changing your circumstances won't change your life if the same thinking comes with you • A mindset shift that turns "I can't wait to retire" into "I'm living my life now" • Two questions that will show you exactly what you've been putting off – and why you can stop waiting Did you enjoy this episode?

“Assuming that if you have one business, you deploy your infrastructure, and if I have another one in the same city, I deploy mine, that is untenable. Scaling fast requires shared infrastructure.” At Aerial Cities 2025 in Dublin, Thomas Jimenez (VP of UAS at uAvionix) spoke with Richard Boden (Acting COO at Murzilli Consulting) about the reality of commercializing the #drone industry. The consensus? We need a "one connected picture" to move past experimental waivers. Key takeaways from the #interview: The shift toward Part 108 and the #ADSP (Automated Data Service Provider) framework is the only viable path to #scalable BVLOS drone #oparations. High-integrity data shouldn't be a solo investment. By partnering with utilities and #airports to host FlightStation sensors, uAvionix provides a "Data Stack" that lets operators focus on missions, not #hardware deployment. The same tech currently powering the FAA's Surface Awareness Initiative (SAI) is being repurposed to give #UAS operators low-latency, aviation-grade situational awareness. Scaling the airspace isn't about flying more drones; it's about the infrastructure that connects them.Listen the full interview to see how uAvionix is building the certifiable future of #AAM.

Kate Scott-Dawkins, Global President of Business Intelligence at WPP Media, joins AdTechGod to share how agencies use economic signals, advertiser trends, and emerging AI shifts to forecast the future of advertising while helping brands stay ahead in a rapidly changing world. Takeaways Kate's early exposure to advertising storytelling sparked her marketing path. A linguistics background trained her to spot patterns and build forecasts. Staying at WPP let her shape long-term strategy and thought leadership. Modern forecasting blends government, financial, and proprietary client signals. Global events, politics, economics, and climate directly move the markets. Industry consolidation is accelerating, concentrating ad revenue among a few sellers. WPP packages insight via forecasts, weekly updates, and rapid client POVs. AI adds speed by summarizing large datasets and supporting analysis workflows. AI is less reliable for producing genuinely original insight on its own. Commerce and creator ecosystems may be disrupted faster than search. Authenticity, disclosure, and watermarking are becoming critical trust issues. Verified human-made content could become a premium tier in the future economy.

Humanity is heading back to the Moon—and Artemis II is the mission that makes it real. In this SETI Live, host Simon Steel is joined by Dr. Caitlin Ahrens, assistant research scientist at NASA Goddard, to explore how Artemis II will prepare the way for future astronaut missions. Artemis II isn't landing on the Moon—but it is laying the groundwork. From mapping the lunar environment to understanding how radiation, extreme cold, and surface conditions affect both spacecraft and humans, this mission is a crucial scouting expedition. The data gathered will directly inform how astronauts live, work, and explore when boots return to lunar soil. Together, we'll unpack how lunar scientists are using Artemis II to test assumptions, close knowledge gaps, and turn decades of robotic exploration into a sustainable human presence beyond Earth. This is the Moon as a proving ground—not just for technology, but for the future of deep-space exploration. (Recorded live 2 February 2026.)

Due to a technical problem with Apple Podcasts, we had to reissue this episode to ensure all subscribers received it.  Sorry if it’s a duplicate for some. For only the second time since launching the Lead From The Heart podcast eight years ago, Mark is opening a new season by speaking directly to you—without a guest. In 2018, Mark used the very first episode to introduce himself and his mission for the show. As this new season begins, he felt it was important to pause again, reflect, and—once more—clearly frame the context for what lies ahead. Over the past seven years, the podcast has featured 170 remarkable guests—CEOs, researchers, academics, and thinkers whose work helped shape and advance a leadership philosophy that was once considered unconventional. What began as a challenge to traditional management thinking has steadily become part of the mainstream conversation about leadership, performance, and culture. Today, many of Mark's ideas that once provoked debate—or even ridicule—are no longer contested. In this solo episode, Mark revisits why he created the podcast, what it set out to influence, and how the leadership landscape has changed since it began. As you'll hear, Season 8 marks an important inflection point. Mark introduces a new dimension he's adding to the show—one designed to keep the podcast vital and relevant while aligning it more closely with the moment leaders now find themselves in. Just before the new year, Mark published an article in Fast Company outlining why he believes employee well-being is poised to become a true business priority. In this episode, he expands on that thinking and explains how the podcast will support leaders navigating what comes next. The post Mark C. Crowley: The Next Era Of The Lead From The Heart Podcast! appeared first on Mark C. Crowley.

Jillian Sakovits joins Jason Longshore for a wide-ranging conversation about where the game is heading in 2026 and why this year is a beginning, not a finish line. Sakovits discusses her expanding role across MLS and the women's game, the momentum building toward the 2026 World Cup, and what that moment means for cities like Atlanta as global soccer culture comes into sharper focus. The conversation dives deep into the NWSL's growth, the significance of Trinity Rodman's landmark contract, and why star power, sustainability, and equal investment are essential to the league's next phase. The discussion also turns to MLS, where Sakovits offers a league-wide perspective on roster moves, rising pressure points, and what the return of Tata Martino means for Atlanta United as the club enters its 10th season with expectations fully reset. From preseason storylines to the unique weight Martino carries in Atlanta, this is a conversation about leadership, timing, and what happens when nostalgia meets reality. A thoughtful, forward-looking episode connecting MLS, the NWSL, and the long arc of the sport in North America, featuring one of the game's most trusted voices, Jillian Sakovits.

Healthcare marketing is entering a new phase: one where patient journeys are more complex, measurement expectations are higher, and confidence in growth depends on more than last-click reporting. In this episode of the Ignite Healthcare Marketing Podcast, Cardinal Digital Marketing Founder, Alex Membrillo, and Power Digital CEO, Jeff Mason, unpack how patient acquisition has fundamentally changed, and why last-click attribution, single-channel thinking, and tactic-chasing are putting healthcare growth at risk. They also explain why this moment in the industry made it the right time for Cardinal to join Power Digital as its dedicated healthcare division. As patient journeys become more consumer-driven and CFO scrutiny intensifies, healthcare marketers need more than reports—they need confidence. This conversation breaks down how advanced measurement, faster creative testing, and consumer-grade data infrastructure are becoming essential to scaling patient acquisition responsibly. You'll walk away with: Why last-click attribution fails as patient journeys span TikTok, search, influencers, and AI How Cardinal's healthcare specialization, combined with Power's data and measurement capabilities, unlocks smarter investment decisions What retail and ecomm got right, and how healthcare can adapt without compromising trust or compliance How better measurement enables better patient experiences, not just cleaner dashboards If you're under pressure to prove growth, justify spend, and move beyond what's "worked before," this episode lays out what healthcare marketing needs next, and why this partnership makes that evolution possible.

With Jason Wenk—Founder and CEO, Altruist Overview A candid conversation on rethinking custody from the ground up—and why simplification, aligned economics, and integrated technology are becoming critical for advisors building modern, scalable firms.

About this episode… For decades, advisors have built their businesses on custodial infrastructure that was never designed to support how modern firms actually operate. In many cases, fragmented technology stacks, paper-heavy processes, and economic factors often benefit the platform more than the advisor or client. Jason Wenk saw that firsthand. Before launching Altruist, Jason built and scaled FormulaFolios from zero to over $4B in assets—giving him a front-row seat to what works, what breaks, and where traditional custody and technology create friction as firms grow. Rather than layering another tool on top of an already complex system, Jason made a far more ambitious bet: to rebuild custody, technology, and economics from the ground up as a single, fully integrated platform. In this conversation with host Louis Diamond, Jason pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a next-generation custodian, including: The myths around custody and brand—and why the next wave of growth may belong to firms willing to rethink the infrastructure they build on. Challenging long-standing assumptions around custody—and why Altruist built a vertically integrated solution from the ground up. The advantages of vertical integration—and why simplification, automation, and aligned economics are becoming essential to advisor growth. The real cost of complexity—and why so many advisors and business owners underestimate it. The value of AI and automation—and how Jason sees it will reshape the next-generation RIA. It's a thoughtful, candid look at the future of custody and what it means for advisors who want to build scalable, modern businesses.

Great power competition—particularly between the United States and China—is intensifying. This rivalry is reshaping everything from technology supply chains and energy security to the future of artificial intelligence.  This is happening at a time when US relations with India and Europe are under strain,  largely due to policy uncertainty and the administration's new trade strategies. So how should the US navigate this new era of great power competition? How do we balance economic competitiveness with security and energy objectives? Where do critical technologies like AI and clean energy fit into this geopolitical chess match? And what can cooperation, dialogue, and diplomacy do to address all of these issues?  Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks with Anja Manuel about the state of global competition and the critical intersection of energy and national security. Anja is a co-founder and partner at Rice, Hadley, Gates & Manuel LLC, a strategic consulting firm. She's also the executive director of the Aspen Strategy Group and the Aspen Security Forum, one of the premier bipartisan assemblies for foreign policy in the United States.

Welcome to Episode 152 of Nintendo Therapy, a show about the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and a celebration of all things Nintendo.This week, we kick off Year of the Backlog with Kevin finally completing Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater from the Metal Gear Solid Collection Vol. 1. Rather than immediately moving on, the conversation turns into a deep appreciation of why Snake Eater still stands as one of the greatest games ever made. We talk about its tight but content-rich design, incredible immersion, unforgettable boss fights, and the emotional weight of Snake and The Boss. It's a masterclass in prequel storytelling, showing how Big Boss's transformation feels earned in a way few franchises ever pull off.On the Nintendo front, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance joins the GameCube Classics lineup, giving fans another reason to revisit (or finally experience) one of the most beloved entries in the series. We also run through the biggest January 2026 Switch and Switch 2 releases, including major updates, new editions, and long-awaited ports.Harrison leads a discussion on the recent spike in Nintendo 3DS prices, exploring why interest in the system is rising again and how renewed demand for dual-screen experiences could influence Nintendo's future hardware decisions. That leads into a fascinating conversation about voice recognition on Switch 2, sparked by new software from Hitachi. We imagine how voice mechanics could be used in classic Nintendo games and remakes, from Hey You, Pikachu and Nintendogs to Animal Crossing, Brain Age, Luigi's Mansion, and more.The episode's Spotlight focuses on Streets of Rage (#50) and Streets of Rage 2 (#49). We break down why Sega's gritty beat 'em up series still holds up decades later, how it stacks up against Final Fight, and why Streets of Rage 2 is often considered the high point of the genre. From iconic characters and co-op chaos to Yuzo Koshiro's legendary soundtracks, this spotlight is a full-on love letter to one of the most influential brawler series of the '90s.All that and more in Episode 152 of Nintendo Therapy.

This is the final episode of Own It for 2025 and Samantha isn't wrapping the year with a tidy bow… she's calling you out and calling you forward.This episode is about outgrowing who you used to be—and having the courage to admit it. Not intellectually. Not conceptually. But operationally. In your business. In your leadership. In your identity.Samantha breaks down why your past isn't something to escape—it's data. Data that shows you exactly where you've been capping yourself, over-functioning, or playing a role that no longer fits. She shares personal examples of stepping out of being “everything to everyone” and into the real work of CEO-level leadership, along with client stories that expose the cost of staying stuck in outdated roles.If you've been feeling burned out, restless, plateaued, or quietly resentful of the business or life you built—this episode is your permission slip to stop forcing it and promote yourself.Because leadership isn't about doing more.It's about becoming different.

They also zoom way out, from Epic Universe's nighttime ambitions to the possibility of Universal's next global park landing in a very hot climate.
