Charlie Cole is the President of XGEN AI, a composable AI platform for eCommerce. As a seasoned eCommerce executive, he has over two decades of experience leading digital transformations for global brands. Before XGEN AI, Charlie served as the CEO at Tribute Technology and FTD and held leadership positions at Samsonite and TUMI, where he drove significant digital growth. In this episode… Online commerce search has long frustrated both brands and consumers. Whether it's typing in a detailed query and getting zero results or sifting through hundreds of irrelevant products, traditional search engines can't keep up with consumers' evolving shopping habits. As search behavior evolves and expectations rise, how can brands deliver a shopping experience that feels intuitive, personal, and helpful? According to digital executive and eCommerce operator Charlie Cole, generative AI presents unique opportunities for search personalization. These tools can understand natural language, learn from user behavior, and surface relevant results — even for complex, descriptive queries. Charlie urges companies to invest in technologies that apply AI image recognition, contextual search, and predictive merchandising. By focusing on genuine customer needs and creating frictionless, conversational experiences, brands can drive loyalty and revenue. In the latest episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant speaks with Charlie Cole, the President of XGEN AI, about revolutionizing eCommerce search with generative AI. Charlie discusses the future of search marketing, how to capitalize on industry events like Shoptalk, and how XGEN AI's platform powers innovative search solutions.

Y a-t-il eu en 2005 un pacte secret entre le colonel Kadhafi et Nicolas Sarkozy pour le financement de la campagne de ce dernier ? C'est la question que pose le tribunal de Paris, où l'ancien président français comparaît depuis le 6 janvier et où il clame son innocence. Au cœur de l'affaire, il y a le beau-frère du colonel Kadhafi, Abdallah Senoussi, chef des services secrets libyens au moment de l'attentat contre le DC10 d'UTA (170 morts). Aujourd'hui, nouvelle pièce au dossier. Avec Karl Laske, journaliste enquêteur à Mediapart, Vincent Nouzille publie, chez Robert Laffont, « L'assassin qu'il fallait sauver ». Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Le 19 septembre 1989, un avion DC-10 de la compagnie UTA explose en plein vol au-dessus du Niger, 170 morts dont 54 Français, 48 Congolais de Brazzaville, 25 Tchadiens. C'est l'un des attentats les plus meurtriers de l'histoire de l'Afrique. Et aujourd'hui, grâce à votre enquête, on sait enfin exactement par qui et comment ce crime a été perpétré. Quel document avez-vous découvert ?Vincent Nouzille : Nous nous basons avec Karl Laske, donc journaliste à Mediapart, sur une série de documents libyens qui nous ont été fournis par un imprimeur libyen dont le nom figure d'ailleurs sur la couverture du livre. Il s'appelle Samir Shegwara et il a eu accès à des archives d'Abdallah Senoussi, c'était le chef des services secrets libyens. C'était le numéro 2 ou 3 du régime de Kadhafi et c'était le beau-frère de Kadhafi également. Et Abdallah Senoussi a été mis en cause par le juge Jean-Louis Bruguière. La justice française l'a jugé dans cette affaire de l'attentat du DC 10 d'UTA avec cinq autres Libyens, le procès a eu lieu par contumace en leur absence en mars 1999 à Paris, et ils ont été condamnés à la perpétuité. Donc, il n'y a pas de doute sur la responsabilité d'Abdallah Senoussi et de ces Libyens. Mais ces documents d'Abdallah Senoussi, ces archives secrètes qui sont pour la première fois révélées dans ce livre, donnent à voir les préparatifs très minutieux de cet attentat. Et c'est pour ça que c'est intéressant, parce qu'on avait jusqu'ici, une vision évidemment partielle, parcellaire, de la responsabilité directe d'Abdallah Senoussi. Et là, dans les documents, il y a par exemple des réunions qui se passent au siège des services secrets libyens, donc avec Abdallah Senoussi qui donne des consignes pour frapper des avions français. Il y a aussi par exemple des tests qui sont faits par les services secrets libyens sous la conduite d'Abdallah Senoussi dans le désert libyen, pour tester par exemple des explosifs et aussi pour tester dans un 2ᵉ temps des valises piégées. Or, c'est exactement le mode opératoire qui a été employé dans l'attentat du DC 10, vu que c'est une valise Samsonite bourrée de Semtex qui a été embarquée dans l'avion d'UTA par Apollinaire Mangatany, un passager congolais à l'insu de son plein gré, si je peux dire, et qui a été sacrifié par les services libyens. Et c'est cette valise qui a explosé. Ce mode opératoire a été décidé lors de tests puis de réunions au sommet avec Abdallah Senoussi. Ce sont ces documents que nous révélons.Alors, 10 ans après cet attentat, en 1999, le beau-frère du colonel Kadhafi, Abdallah Senoussi, est donc condamné par la justice française. Mais le colonel Kadhafi essaie de faire réviser ce jugement et, à partir de 2003, il multiplie les contacts avec des hommes politiques français. Il semble qu'il en parle d'abord au président Jacques Chirac, puis au ministre de l'Intérieur Nicolas Sarkozy, lors d'une visite de celui-ci à Tripoli. Comment réagissent Jacques Chirac et Nicolas Sarkozy ?Alors, le président Chirac va être assez flou sur la réponse qu'il peut donner, en disant : « Je vais étudier la question », ça, c'est en 2003, 2004. Arrive la perspective de Nicolas Sarkozy, qui va être le candidat à la présidentielle de 2007. Il est à l'époque ministre de l'Intérieur. Nous sommes en octobre 2005. Oui, il va à Tripoli et le Guide en parle effectivement à Sarkozy, lors de sa visite du 6 octobre 2005. Et puis, ensuite quelques semaines plus tard, l'avocat personnel de Nicolas Sarkozy se rend à Tripoli pour discuter avec les avocats de Senoussi sur la manière de régler le problème. Donc, le sujet a été abordé et non seulement le sujet a été abordé, mais il y a bien eu l'envoi d'une mission d'avocat pour tenter de régler le problème. Alors c'est une promesse qui est faite, peut-être par Nicolas Sarkozy directement à Kadhafi et c'est ce que la justice française suspecte, qu'il y a peut-être eu un arrangement, un deal secret, entre l'équipe de Sarkozy et Kadhafi, sur le mode : nous allons vous donner de l'argent pour votre campagne électorale, en échange de quoi, il faudra régler le problème de Senoussi.Est-ce que vous avez contacté Nicolas Sarkozy dans le cadre de votre enquête ?Oui, nous avons contacté Nicolas Sarkozy, mais comme le procès qui a lieu actuellement, qui a démarré le 6 janvier au tribunal de Paris, allait démarrer, il nous a fait répondre qu'il ne souhaitait pas nous répondre.Alors, il y a la situation judiciaire de Nicolas Sarkozy, mais il y a aussi celle d'Abdallah Senoussi, l'organisateur de l'attentat de 1989. S'il est toujours vivant, qu'est-ce qu'il devient ?Alors Abdallah Senoussi, on a essayé de le joindre pour cette enquête. On n'a pas réussi à le joindre. Il est actuellement en prison en Libye et il faut savoir que les familles des victimes du DC 10 d'UTA en France et en Afrique souhaitent et espèrent un jour avoir un procès. Le vrai procès de Senoussi, avec Senoussi dans le box.Ben oui, puisqu'il a été condamné par contumace !Par contumace, c'est-à-dire en son absence. Et donc, peut-être que les nouveaux éléments que nous révélons sur son implication décisive dans la préparation de cet attentat va réveiller la justice française afin peut-être que la France redemande son extradition depuis la Libye.

Tony Lillios is a leadership coach, entrepreneur, Ironman athlete, and Founder of Spec Products, a design and engineering firm recognized for its innovative tech accessories. With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, Tony successfully built Spec Products into a market leader before selling it to Samsonite in 2014, and he continues to invest in ventures through Ringleader Ventures.

His "Integral Path" approach to coaching, shaped by a personal journey of redefining goals, helps clients achieve transformation through the process, rather than the outcome, of their ambitions. In this episode… Many people chase goals relentlessly, only to feel an unsettling emptiness once they achieve them. Focusing solely on success and external validation can leave a person feeling disconnected from their true self, even if they excel professionally. The question becomes: how can you redefine your relationship with achievement to foster a more fulfilling, integrated life? Tony Lillios shares his journey of rethinking goal-setting after realizing that accomplishing more wasn't enough. He emphasizes the importance of viewing goals not as endpoints but as tools for personal growth. Tony's "Integral Path" approach helps individuals use goals to propel meaningful change while focusing on the unfolding process of self-development, not just the outcome. He also encourages embracing uncharted territories — whether in business or personal — by stepping into uncertainty with intention and resilience. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Tony Lillios, leadership coach and Founder of Spec Products, about navigating new frontiers in life and business. Tony shared how embracing uncharted territories has manifested in a vibrant, fulfilling life. They discuss Tony's experience with founding a company and selling it to Samsonite, becoming a single gay father through surrogacy, and undertaking endurance challenges like swimming across Crater Lake.

Welcome Back to the Ba'al Busters Community. M-F 8am - 10am Pacific on FTJMedia.com and Rumble.Today, 8.26.2024, We have a running collection of highlight reels. Two chosen Reps of the International Finance Overlords have made many statements that make reasonable, rational people shudder. After that we will continue to illustrate the outright lie of history as it pertains to biblical claims.

 In this episode, Mark, Mark, and Dan discuss why thick skin is necessary for church replanters and revitalizers. Your peers may think you are nuts for going to that church. Your in-laws and family (and maybe even your spouse) may think you are nuts. You won't get much praise or accolades for serving in a dying church…at least not from people. If you indeed leading Holy Spirit-directed change in a declining church, you will almost always encounter opposition – sometimes a lot of it. It's likely to be very hard financially. Your wife and kids may not feel at ease with the tension around the change needed for revitalization. Some of the people who were the strongest supporters may become your greatest critics. You will step on landmines you didn't even know existed.

If you believed anything was possible, what would you do?  Tony Lillios comes from an immigrant family that somehow made things happen…whole family pitching in to start a small business on a greek island?  No problem.  Squishing 10 family members into a station wagon, along with bikes and all the necessities for a week at the beach?  A little duct tape and rope, and they were off for their holiday adventure.  As an adult, this translated into Tony's work and personal worlds, starting several businesses, completing 12+ IronMans, and and recently climbing in Bhutan with a world famous entrepreneur. However, even for someone who sees limitless possibilities, there are moments when Tony finds himself conforming and feeling smaller than he truly is. It is a growth edge for him, and there are valuable lessons for all of us to learn from his experiences.  Listen in to hear Tony's perfectly imperfect journey.     Bio Tony Lillios is a serial entrepreneur, Integral Coach, TEDx speaker, film producer, and triathlete that has also co-founded Speck Design and Speck Products. Chances are, if you owned a phone between 2008 and 2014, you owned a Speck Products case. Tony and his partners sold the company to Samsonite in 2014 for a reported 85 million dollars and that's when he turned his attention to personal and professional coaching. Today, Tony coaches others by developing an ongoing set of practices that allow them to develop new skills, capacities, and awareness. This system of integral coaching puts you on your path to sustainable transformation. Tony's unique integral approach comes from a blend of his training through New Ventures West, Stagen's Integral Leadership Program, and self-discovery.

Charlie Cole is the CEO of Tribute Technology, a leading provider of software solutions for the funeral industry. His leadership experience includes roles such as CEO of FTD, Chief eCommerce Officer at Samsonite, and Chief Digital Officer at Tumi. He embraces a leadership style rooted in transparency and a commitment to driving positive change. This approach involves blending the best of the past with innovative strategies, ensuring that his teams evolve and thrive in the evolving business landscape.  You'll hear Lindsay and Charlie discuss: The key to successful leadership, according to Charlie, is finding the right balance between maintaining elements of the old and introducing new strategies.  Drawing from his experience at FTD, Charlie discusses the complex task of leading a company that recently emerged from bankruptcy, navigating the process of retaining valuable institutional knowledge while implementing necessary changes. Inherited culture plays a significant role when taking on leadership roles, especially in the context of companies recovering from challenges like bankruptcy. Charlie's leadership style is rooted in ruthless transparency. He communicates regularly with the team, shares monthly and weekly results, and ensures that everyone is well-informed about the company's direction. It's difficult to be transparent when the truth may hurt. However, leaders must be willing to deliver uncomfortable truths that drive positive change. The challenge of leading change involves identifying individuals willing to adapt quickly and making swift decisions when facing resistance. In his role at Tribute Technology, Charlie serves three principal constituents: funeral directors, grieving families, and friends and family of the deceased. The company prioritizes customer-centric solutions that benefit all three groups. Customer centricity in SaaS businesses like Tribute Technology is facilitated by the high lifetime value of customers, allowing for a more long-term and holistic approach. Certain business models afford more leeway for customer-centric decisions. Examples from companies like Amazon, Starbucks, and Meta showcase the possibilities of creating new economic value by being customer-centric and taking bold swings. The best teams have a mix of people with diverse viewpoints and ideas. Resources Charlie Cole on LinkedIn  Tribute Technology

Fell off the jetway again This is a reference to the opening scene of the 1994 film, Dumb and Dumber. Lloyd is a limo driver who drives Mary Swanson to the airport. It was the best day of Lloyd's life because he met the girl of his dreams. It was also the worst day, because he got in an accident, got fired, and ran off the jetway trying to return her Samsonite briefcase. Being a leader often feels this way....

Over nearly 50 years in the luggage business, Charlie Clifford has built two premium brands and weathered three existential crises: the recession of 1982, the travel slowdown post- 9/11, and the extreme aftershocks of Covid. His fist luggage company, Tumi, was inspired by his time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru. Charlie began by importing hand-crafted leather duffels from South America, but quickly pivoted into more durable and distinctive ballistic nylon bags. Business travelers loved them, and by the 1990's, Tumi was spreading to Europe and Japan. Today, Tumi is owned by Samsonite and its stores are in airports and shopping malls around the world. Meanwhile, Charlie—unfazed by the challenges he's faced over the years—has launched another premium luggage brand, Roam.
