In a candid conversation with Zendesk CTO Adrian McDermott, it's become clear that enterprise AI has reached a pivotal moment. We're witnessing the end of AI theater and the emergence of practical platforms delivering real business value.   "We're moving from chapter one to chapter two of the application of generative AI," McDermott explains. "It's not just party tricks anymore - it's platforms. And we're really building things that have value and meaning." The Rise of Platform Thinking The shift from isolated AI features to comprehensive platforms marks a significant evolution in enterprise technology. Companies are no longer satisfied with flashy demonstrations - they demand measurable outcomes and clear ROI. This transformation is evident in Zendesk's new resolution platform, which integrates multiple AI capabilities into a cohesive system. The New Economics of AI Implementation Zendesk has pioneered outcome-based pricing for AI agents in the customer experience industry - a significant departure from traditional seat-based pricing models. This approach aligns vendor success directly with customer outcomes.   "You should really be able to run a model that would prove and predict the ROI upfront," McDermott notes, highlighting the increasing sophistication of AI implementation. Customers now expect vendors to demonstrate clear business value before deployment. Voice: The Critical Escalation Channel Despite predictions of voice's decline, it remains crucial in an AI-first world. McDermott explains: "In a world of automation, the escalation channel is voice, and you need it to be tightly integrated."   The future of voice in customer service is being reimagined through: Seamless integration with AI systems Warm handoffs between digital and voice channels Enhanced context preservation across interactions Real-time analytics and support The Resolution Platform Framework Zendesk's resolution platform represents a comprehensive approach to customer service, incorporating: Customer-facing AI agents Agent copilot systems Automated content generation Continuous analysis and quality assurance Unified governance and measurement Looking Ahead: The iPhone Moment? McDermott poses a crucial question: "Are we building Windows Mobile on top of generative AI, or is there innovation and disruption to come?" This reflection suggests we're still in early stages, with significant disruption ahead. Key Takeaways Enterprise AI has matured beyond demonstrations to delivering measurable outcomes Platform approaches are replacing point solutions Voice remains critical in an AI-first service strategy Economic alignment between vendors and customers is essential Continuous innovation and adaptation are necessary The shift from AI theater to practical platforms marks a new era in enterprise technology. Organizations must now focus on building comprehensive, outcome-driven AI strategies rather than chasing individual features or capabilities.

Jeff Hancock is the CEO of Coinpass, a UK-based crypto exchange acquired by OANDA in 2023. He's bringing crypto and traditional finance closer together in a secure, regulated way. Why you should listen ​​Born in London in 2018, Coinpass climbed the regulatory mountain early, securing an FCA crypto-asset registration and then catching the eye of multi-asset heavyweight OANDA, which snapped up a majority stake in August 2023. Now the exchange enjoys the deep pockets and risk-management chops of a global FX giant while keeping its Union-Jack credentials intact.  Coinpass is unapologetically business-first: corporate and SSAS pension accounts, OTC desks, Faster Payments for GBP, SEPA Instant for EUR, and a Fireblocks-secured custody stack. The offering tops out at roughly 18 coins across 50 pairs, with auto-trade DCA tools and a staking “Earn” programme. As the FCA's May 2025 paper ushers in a tougher regulatory era, Coinpass is already playing the game two moves ahead—fully registered, audit-ready, and backed by OANDA's deep balance sheet. Its curated asset list and institutional-grade spreads may forego meme-coin noise, but they deliver what CFOs and treasurers actually need: transparent pricing, instant GBP rails, and a compliance posture built to glide through tomorrow's rulebook. While other exchanges scramble to retrofit governance, Coinpass stands out as the gold-standard gateway for UK digital-asset professionals—future-proof, rock-solid, and ready to scale.

TNEC owner Duran Bickmore was a guest on episode 74 of Platform podcast and I enjoyed it so much I've had him a back on a couple of times. The last one was a Patreon exclusive chat, but this time I wanted to see how he was doing now he is back on skates after breaking his ankle, find out a little more about TNEC's team, which has grown quite a bit in the past 12 months, and he completely blindsided me by showing off the new UFS boot he is working on. We also talk about a bunch of industry stuff and he offers a refreshingly transparent insight into how his business is going, the number of sales and trends he is witnessing as a shop owner and company owner.

What if the Boy Who Lived never settled down, never married Ginny, and never stepped onto Platform 9¾ for that bittersweet epilogue?In Wind Shear – Part 1, Harry Potter—older, harder, and very much off-script—slams straight into 1970 London, orders a Firewhisky in a Muggle pub, and accidentally collides with Bellatrix Black and the rising Knights of Walpurgis. One “sharp and sudden change” later, the future of the wizarding world is up for grabs.

Nemil Dalal from Coinbase discusses the x402 protocol, a new open standard that enables AI agents to make cryptocurrency payments for online resources using the long-dormant HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code. The conversation covers stablecoin fundamentals, including how they work and who maintains their stability, before exploring how crypto wallets with multi-signature capabilities could protect AI agents from adversarial attacks while keeping humans in control. They examine forward-looking questions about whether this technology could finally create a viable alternative to advertising models, what happens when millions of AI agents have wallets, and the need for reputation systems in an agent economy. The discussion highlights how cryptocurrency, originally designed to be beyond nation-state control, might become the perfect enabling technology for AI economic participation.

Mia Jordan, Global Go-To-Market Executive at Salesforce and former USDA Chief Information Officer, and Josh Millsapps, CEO of Millsapps, Ballinger & Associates join the show to explore the importance of platform strategies over one-off projects to ultimately drive strategic value for government agencies. Together, we unpack what is driving the rising appetite for change across federal agencies and how to strike the balance between pragmatism and bold innovation. Finally, they offer tactical advice for government leaders navigating leadership turnover, workforce challenges, and policy shifts — emphasizing why it's time for agencies to “run with scissors” and move fast, even amid ambiguity.

Brett Winton and ARK analyst Jozef Soja dive deep into the rapidly evolving world of AI agents—software entities that are increasingly automating enterprise functions like customer support. They explore why AI agents are gaining traction, how they're priced, and the potential for a new kind of agent-versus-agent arms race between companies and consumers. Later in the episode, they're joined by Dr. Alan Bekker, founder of eSelf.ai and former Head of Conversational AI at Snap, who shares his journey from building voice agents for call centers to launching a real-time, face-to-face AI tutoring platform. Alan offers insights into how the rise of large language models (LLM) is reshaping education, what makes a great AI tutor, and why a visual, embodied presence is crucial for learning.Key Points From This Episode:00:00:00 What enterprise AI agents actually do and how companies like Salesforce are pricing them00:03:41 Why $2 per AI conversation may already undercut human support costs00:05:04 The Return On Investment (ROI) model behind agent adoption and enterprise productivity00:06:41 Why agent-based software may retain higher pricing power than other AI tools00:09:11 The coming arms race: AI agents negotiating with other AI agents00:12:30 Scaling demand for customer service with intelligent automation00:15:04 Vertical vs. horizontal Software as a Service (SaaS) in the AI agent ecosystem00:16:43 AI's impact across the software stack—SaaS, Platform as a Service (PaaS) , and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)00:17:56 Why building your own AI apps may soon be cheaper than onboarding SaaS00:20:01 ARK's  internal hackathon and how non-engineers are becoming developers00:20:29 Guest: Dr. Alan Bekker joins to discuss the evolution of conversational AI00:22:04 The journey from decision trees to LLMs: Lessons from Snap's AI team00:27:32 Seeing GPT's impact from inside: OpenAI's early partner outreach00:31:47 Why face-to-face AI tutors found strong product-market fit in education00:33:59 eSelf's go-to-market strategy: Partnering with publishers as a business to business to consumer (B2B2C) wedge00:36:24 Pricing real-time AI tutoring tools in a margin-conscious market00:40:00 Business to consumer (B2C) aspirations: Moving toward a direct-to-student tutoring product00:44:56 What's still missing for real-time AI to match human-level teaching00:48:03 The psychological impact of avatars: Building trust through embodied agents00:51:43 Why personalization—not just LLM knowledge—matters in tutoring00:54:20 Democratizing learning: LLMs as the end of expert-driven education

Sleeping on YouTube Shorts = leaving serious money on the table. In this episode, David Brickley breaks down why YouTube Shorts is the most underrated (and underused) platform—and why your brand should be taking it way more seriously.

Supio, an AI-driven platform developed specifically for personal injury lawyers, has been generating a lot of buzz. On the heels of reporting record growth last year and raising $25 million in Series A funding in October, last month it raised another $60 million in a Series B round. But what do the lawyers who use the platform think of it? On today's LawNext, we hear from one of those lawyers, as well as from the company's cofounder and CEO. Our guests today are:   Tyler Schneider, managing partner of the personal injury law firm TorHoerman Law. Schneider was an early adopter of Supio. He and his firm used it to help obtain a $495 million verdict against Abbott Labs in a case involving allegations that cow's milk-based infant formula caused intestinal inflammation in premature babies. Jerry Zhou, the CEO of Supio who cofounded it in 2021 together with his childhood friend and coworker Kyle Lam after having held product management and engineering roles at Microsoft and Avalara.    In their conversation with host Bob Ambrogi, Zhou and Schneider talk about the development of Supio, its real-world impact on plaintiffs' lawyers, and their wish lists for further development of the product. They also share their thoughts on how AI is likely to reshape PI practice more broadly.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week, we're descending into the mind-bending, minimalist sci-fi thriller that is Cube (1997). A cult favourite from Canadian director Vincenzo Natali, this low-budget psychological puzzle box is as disorienting and claustrophobic as it is thought-provoking.Cube begins in medias res: a group of strangers wakes up in a strange, sterile room with hatches on all six sides. Each door leads to another nearly identical room—some are safe, others are lethal traps. No one knows how or why they're there. The group includes a cop, a doctor, an escape artist, a math whiz, a paranoid conspiracy theorist, and an autistic man with extraordinary numerical abilities.What unfolds is part escape room, part social experiment, as they try to survive—and escape—the Cube.Cube is rich in metaphor and minimal in exposition. It avoids explaining who built the structure or why, focusing instead on how ordinary people behave under extreme pressure. As the group's dynamic shifts, alliances form and collapse, revealing how quickly fear and distrust take hold.The traps are inventive (acid spray, wire slicing, sound-activated death rooms), but the real tension comes from the breakdown of civility and the slow unravelling of each character's psyche. The cube itself becomes a symbol of bureaucracy, control, and the meaningless complexity of modern systems.And the maths—there's a lot of maths. Prime numbers, Cartesian coordinates, permutations. It's as if Saw, Waiting for Godot, and a high school algebra textbook all collided.

This week on the Media Roundtable, Dan Granger (CEO, Oxford Road & Veritone One) hosts Steve Pratt (Founder, The Creativity Business, author of Earn It: Unconventional Strategies for Brave Marketers) for a debate about Steve's article on Joe Rogan's podcast status.Why? Because a podcast is still the best place for an open exchange of ideas–even ideas about what is and isn't a podcast. Plus, the cement's still wet on our new podcast definition, so it's time for a gut check. Dan and Steve also cover Picking a Platform, Earning Attention, and more. This week's episode is sponsored by The Daily Wire.“Consumers hold all the power. They can bypass anything they don't want. So the opportunity for most marketers that isn't being taken advantage of is: make something that people want.”- Steve Pratt (Founder, The Creativity Business)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This podcast is for SaaS founders who feel stuck chasing feature parity—and anyone wondering if there's a smarter way to build something customers can't live without. Most SaaS founders won't kill a profitable company. They'll optimize it to death instead. Chris Brisson, CEO of SalesMsg, took a different path. He killed his first company while it was still making money. Then spent two years building what messaging should actually do—create conversations, not broadcasts. This inspired me to invite Chris to my podcast. We explore why choosing destruction over optimization creates breakthrough opportunities. Chris reveals his thinking about engineering backwards from outcomes, disrupting yourself before others do, and building what customers consider indispensable. You'll discover why he chose the harder path of starting over—and what happens when you stop chasing features and start solving friction. We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies:  They acknowledge they can't please everyone They master the art of curiosity Here's one of Chris's quotes that captures his contrarian philosophy: "We always take that approach, like, how are we going to disrupt ourselves before someone else does? All right, what are we going to do? How do we disrupt ourselves. Just leaning into, ‘Hey, you know what? We got to kill that product.' The reality is that it actually doesn't solve the problem. What really solves the problem is this.” By listening to this episode, you'll learn: Why killing profitable products unlocks bigger opportunities What happens when you engineer backwards from outcomes Why saying yes to custom features can actually scale your platform Why friction removal beats feature addition every time Chris's story proves traction starts by doing what most others avoid—choosing to disrupt yourself before someone else does.

 Ep.157 - Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Podcasts: What Platform Actually Grows Your Coaching Biz in 2025?In Episode 157 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we're breaking down the social media landscape like it's our job—because, well, it kind of is. Let's be honest: trying to be everywhere at once is a one-way ticket to burnout and bland content. So instead of spreading yourself too thin across every platform, this episode helps you get laser focused on the right ones for your business.We break down the pros, cons, and personalities of the top five platforms: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Podcasts, and Facebook. Spoiler alert—Instagram is still that girl when it comes to nurturing and converting high-ticket leads, but she's not perfect. Meanwhile, TikTok is the queen of reach, YouTube wins at trust-building, podcasts are the unsung heroes of conversion, and Facebook… well, she's complicated.If you've ever wondered where to spend your time and energy online to actually make sales without losing your mind, this is your no-fluff, tell-it-like-it-is guide. Consider this your official permission slip to stop trying to “do it all” and instead double down where it matters.In this episode, we cover:1) Instagram: The Main Character Energy [0:00 - 9:26] -Why Instagram is still the best all-around platform for high-ticket coaches. -How Stories, feed posts, and DMs create the ultimate conversion trifecta.2) TikTok: Growth Machine, Sales Mess [9:27 - 17:54] -The platform with viral potential… and flaky leads. -How to use TikTok strategically without expecting it to close your sales.3) YouTube: Long Game, Big Trust [17:55 - 25:21] -Why YouTube builds the deepest connections (and the most loyal fans). -The time commitment required to win—and how to know if it's worth it for you.4) Podcasting: The Easiest Way to Convert [25:22 - 34:13] -Why podcasting is the queen of nurturing and why it works so dang well. -How to use episodes as evergreen sales tools and binge-worthy content.5) Facebook: The High-Converting Hot Mess [34:14 - 40:04] -Why Facebook can still drive sales, even if it's not your favorite. -The power of Facebook groups and warm audiences (and where it falls short).6) Where You Should Focus in 2025 [40:05 - End] -Why Instagram + Podcast is the ultimate duo for most online coaches. -When to layer in TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook based on your bandwidth and business goals.Connect with Lynette:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynettemarieh Fitness Coaching Business Accelerator: https://fcbaprogram.comThe Wellness CEO Mastermind: https://wcmprogram.com

If you've ever wondered whether speaking at an unpaid event is worth it—or how to make the most of every speaking opportunity—this solo episode is for you. Lauren breaks down a framework she's developed after speaking at (and attending) more than 100 events and hosting conferences herself. She explains why viewing gigs through a simple “paid vs. unpaid” lens can hold you back, and shares how to evaluate any opportunity for maximum impact. Lauren outlines three powerful categories to assess any speaking invitation: People and Platform, Perks and Promotion, and Proximity and Positioning. From evaluating audience alignment and email list growth to networking strategy and event values, she provides actionable questions that will help you determine if a speaking opportunity is right for you and how to turn it into long-term value for your brand and business. Whether you're a seasoned speaker or just getting started, this episode will help you say “yes” to the right opportunities and confidently pass on the ones that don't serve your goals. Plus, get a sneak peek at Lauren's Memorable Personal Brand Mastermind, opening again in August for entrepreneurs who want to grow in community. Connect with Lauren V.

My guest today is Ion Stoica, professor of computer science at UC Berkeley and the co-founder of Conviva, Databricks, and Anyscale. Over the last two decades, Ion's research labs - the AMP Lab, the RISE Lab, and now the Sky Computing Lab - have seeded a generation of category-defining companies. Ion has the unique ability to turn non-consensus ideas into durable businesses. He applied machine learning to video optimization with Conviva before AI became mainstream. He scaled Apache Spark into a $60B platform with Databricks. And now, with Anyscale, he's betting on Ray as the foundation for distributed AI workloads. In this episode, we dig into both sides of Ion's work: how to build world-class research labs, and how to turn research into real companies. His clarity of thought makes the future feel legible, and his track record suggests he's very often right. Hope you enjoy the conversation! Chapters: 00:00 The Spark thesis: win the ecosystem first, monetize later 01:00 Intro: From lab to company - Ion's repeatable playbook 03:00 Did you always plan to become a founder, or did it just happen? 05:23 Let's start with Spark - how did the project come about? 13:04 What were the most important early decisions at Databricks? 23:49 You were the first CEO - what did you have to learn (or unlearn)? 30:01 How was building Anyscale different from building Databricks? 33:53 What's obvious to you about the future of AI that others miss? 37:31 Why AI works so well for code 41:00 The thesis behind OPAQUE Systems 44:06 Future infra will be heterogeneous, distributed, and vertically integrated 49:03 China's edge: faster diffusion from lab to market 53:19 Platform companies still work, but only with the right investors 55:57 What role did the Databricks Unit (DBU) play in value capture? 58:02 AI progress is plateauing, but adoption is just beginning
