What if the secret to staying irreplaceable in the age of AI isn't working harder — it's getting more creative? That's the central argument of SuperCreativity: Augmenting Human Creativity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, the new book by global keynote speaker James Taylor. In this episode of the Business of Story, Park Howell sits down with James to explore how the world's top communicators are using AI not to replace their stories — but to tell them with far greater precision, resonance, and impact. From managing Rolling Stones members at the Royal Albert Hall to speaking for Apple, Cisco, L'Oreal, and PwC across 25+ countries, James brings a rare combination of creative instinct and strategic intelligence to the AI conversation. In this episode you'll discover: • Why AI is fueling a New Roaring Twenties — and what that means for entrepreneurs and business leaders • How James uses psychometric AI analysis to profile audiences before he ever steps on a call or stage • The 250-story story bank system that powers his hyper-personalized keynotes • Why your emotional promise matters even to the most analytical, data-driven audiences • What a live StoryCycle Genie® brand analysis revealed about James's Visionary Magician archetype and emotional promise of "possibility" • The standing ovation story from a billionaires' bank in the UAE that proves emotional storytelling transcends every culture and industry • How to build a speaker brand with the same discipline James learned managing rock stars About James Taylor James Taylor M.B.A., F.R.S.A. is an internationally recognized keynote speaker on creativity, innovation, and AI.

The Four Tops formed in Detroit in 1953, originally named The Four Aims. They're a cornerstone of American pop music and helped propel the Motown label to international recognition. Although ostensibly a soul vocal group, I find the band interesting in how broad they were stylistically and in the variety of material they adopted. The current incarnation of The Four Tops are touring this year with The Temptations. They're hitting the UK this summer, with a run that includes a date at the Royal Albert Hall.   I'm joined this episode by Lawrence Payton Jr. from the current line-up, the son of founding member Lawrence Payton who passed away in 1997.   Lawrence had a lot to say about growing up around his dad's band, and why the Tops should still be on the road in 2026. He was great company.   Please leave a nice review or star rating with your podcast provider.   You can find me on Instagram @sendingsignalspodcast

Natürlich wegen BILLIE EILISH - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT TOUR: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D), aber eben auch, weil TAYLOR SWIFT ERAS TOUR oder THIS IS IT dreistellige Millionensummen an den Kinokassen generiert haben. Doch vor allem, weil Hennes und Schröck einfach mal Bock hatten, das Genre ein wenig aufzudröseln. Von WOODSTOCK und GIMME SHELTER oder THE LAST WALTZ über PINK FLOYDS THE WALL, das in Berlin aufgeführt wurde, oder HEUTE DIE! MORGEN DU!, welches in der Innenstand von Frankfurt stattfand, bis hin zu STOP MAKING SENSE, RATTLE AND HUM, erste Erfahrungen mit ACDC - LIVE AT DONINGTON oder QUEEN - ROCK MONTREAL, darüber ob FATBOY SLIM BIG BEACH BOUTIQUE II auch dazu zählt, und dass sich alle so gern PRINCE - SIGN O' THE TIMES (1987) beziehen. Begleitet von allerlei Abschweifungen, zum Beispiel über Roland Emmerich, ANGINE DE POITRINE, THE WHO in der Royal Albert Hall, um den Ausverkauf des Szene, die finanziellen Gedanken, die zu groß geworden sind, oder warum so viele lieber durch ihre Telefone schauen anstatt auf die Bühne. Abgerundet durch weitere Gehirnfürze oder noch ein paar Erinnerungen an Peter Gabriels NEW BLOOD LIVE IN LONDON oder den Versuch von METALLICA - THROUGH THE NEVER.

Jeff Goldblum boards Alan Air for one of the most gloriously unpredictable flights yet. From Old Hollywood legends and Mulholland Drive nightmares to pickles, sandwiches and impromptu singing, Jeff goes full Goldblum - charming, curious and wonderfully maverick. They talk about his new album Night Blooms, touring with orchestras around the world, and the timeless magic of jazz standards. Along the way there's Sharon Stone, Billie Holiday, a surprising Bloody Mary debate… and Alan pitches Jeff a brand-new horror film: An American Were-MILF in London. Expect name-dropping, movie love, musical nostalgia and one very enthusiastic conversation about pickles.  00:00 Intro  00:18 Jeff Goldblum boards Alan Air  01:14 The Windmills of Your Mind & The Thomas Crown Affair  01:59 Jeff's frozen yoghurt meeting with Faye Dunaway  03:29 Crisps, pickles and snack food debates  05:30 Jeff Goldblum's favourite sandwiches  05:58 The “Bloody Alan” cocktail  07:30 Jeff's love of Lauren Hutton and gabby teeth  10:12 Horoscopes, science and star signs  11:41 Jeff's new album Night Blooms  12:59 Jeff and Alan singing classics like Misty and Bewitched  13:37 Nosferatu, horror films and Alan's Were-MILF pitch  15:03 Jeff agrees to star in Alan's movie  16:23 Touring the UK, Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House  17:41 What happens at a Jeff Goldblum live show  19:41 Touring food: fish & chips and British roasts  20:29 Jeff's favourite drink: the Virgin Mary  21:14 Time machines, classic films and Total Recall  23:34 Sharon Stone, Casino and Scorsese movies  24:48 Old Hollywood, Chateau Marmont and Hollywood history  27:21 Mulholland Drive and David Lynch  29:15 Alan's middle name reveal  30:31 Quick-fire round  33:39 Final descent  #LifesABeach #AlanCarr #JeffGoldblum #Podcast #TravelPodcast #NightBlooms #Jazz #ClassicHollywood #MovieLegends #CelebrityPodcast #MulhollandDrive #OldHollywood #RoyalAlbertHall #ComedyPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
