it looks like the console wars really are officially over, as Halo will be launching on PlayStation in 2026. But, this news is somewhat tainted when you take into account all the confusing moves Xbox has been making recently. Plus John Williams comes out of retirement, the cast of the new Miami Vice is stacking up nicely, and reviews of Pokemon Legend's Z-A, Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Good Fortune.

Vik Malhotra, McKinsey senior partner and coauthor of CEO Excellence and A CEO for All Seasons, examines the strategic pressures that now define the CEO role: a "30- to 40-year tech revolution," intensifying geopolitics, shifting consumer behavior, and demographic change. As he notes, "every business at some level is a tech business," and this multipolar, fast-changing environment places a premium on leaders who can "thread the needle" between paradoxes, short-term delivery versus long-term reinvention, legacy versus disruption, and analysis versus decisiveness. The conversation connects these macrotrends to practical leadership mechanics, how to set direction, allocate scarce resources, and design institutions that can learn, adapt, and scale without losing their core. Key strategic insights and takeaways Set an audacious, persistent north star. "The very best leaders set bold, some might say audacious, aspirations early in their tenure," Malhotra explains. Through downturns and market noise, they "persevere" and repeat a few priorities "until the organization internalizes them." Consistency, not novelty, creates credibility and followership. Treat resource allocation as a hard choice. "Capital, expense, and talent, it's a zero-sum game," he recalls from his interview with Jamie Dimon. Great CEOs "starve something" to fund their boldest bets and resist spreading resources "like peanut butter." Make culture operational and selective. Effective leaders focus on one or two levers that reinforce strategy, Satya Nadella's emphasis on a growth mindset at Microsoft being a prime example. They design rituals, incentives, and role modeling that embed new behavior. Build a star team, not a team of stars. As one CEO told Malhotra, "This is not about a team of stars, it's about a star team." Complementary strengths, mutual accountability, and candor matter more than individual brilliance. Institutionalize continuous learning and reinvention. Exceptional leaders avoid the "sophomore slump." They systematize learning—internally by seeking dissent and externally by "looking around corners." "You can never be complacent," Jamie Dimon told him. "You've got to keep pushing forward." Operate as a technology-native company. "Every company is a tech company," Malhotra insists. Technology must be business-led, embedded in cross-functional product teams, and scaled deliberately beyond experimentation, especially in AI. Anticipate nonmarket shocks. Leading teams now run geopolitical and demographic scenarios "to understand how the company might have to pivot." This preparedness extends to smaller firms "thrust into geopolitics" for the first time. Distinguish between experimentation and bet-the-company decisions. Leaders should allow "rapid, cheap failure" to learn quickly, but apply exhaustive risk management to the few "truly consequential, bet-the-company" decisions.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella offered a glimpse of the "first of many" massive Nvidia AI systems it is rolling out, starting now. a16z's Anish Acharya calls India office reports “entirely fake news!” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I reflect on Nadella's legacy and the parallels to other tech icons like Larry Ellison and Bill Gates.Highlights00:13 — Well, Microsoft seems to be setting out to ensure that it is creating the new rules for its own future. Its CEO, Satya Nadella, has picked a successor, and this is going to allow Nadella to focus the vast majority of his time on product development, product engineering, architecture, advanced technology, and more. So, big changes are coming at Microsoft.01:23 — Nadella has spent the last 12 years as CEO, during which time Microsoft has achieved just phenomenal results. It now has a market cap approaching $4 trillion, rivaling NVIDIA. Nadella has totally remade the company. It was a bit of a mess when he took over in 2014. Now, one blemish I would say on Nadella's record is the issue of security.02:35 — Nadella has named Judson Althoff, the head of sales for Microsoft for the last nine years, overseeing customers and partners, as CEO of the commercial business. His new role will involve almost every part of the organization, except product development and engineering. Marketing and operations report to Althoff. Operations report to Althoff.03:02 — What Nadella wants Althoff to do is use this new role to get all parts of the company working in concert — very smoothly and fluidly. They said Microsoft's customers are moving faster than ever before, and this is going to require Microsoft itself to move faster than it ever has.03:55 — Very few people could ever understand what it's like to be in that role at a company of that size and that influence and say “You know, it's time for a new adventure for me and a new way of operating for the company.” Bill Gates, in 2000, he said, “I just want to be Chairman, and I'll be Chief Software Architect.” Hats off to Satya Nadella.

En de slimme bril gaat 'm vervangen. Dat is de conclusie bij Apple. Die schuiven zelfs andere projecten aan de kant om nu zo snel mogelijk een eigen slimme bril te maken. Eentje die kan concurreren met die van Meta. Mark Zuckerberg presenteerde een paar weken geleden nog trots zijn eigen versie, en stelde dat de smartphone op z'n einde loopt. Maar als Zuckerberg al zo'n bril in de winkels heeft liggen, is Apple dan niet per definitie veel te laat? Moeten ze de inhaalrace eigenlijk nog wel inzetten? Dat bespreken we deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over Prosus. Vandaag zal als een succes de boeken in gaan. Bijna alle aandeelhouders van Just Eat Takeaway stemden in met de overname door Prosus. En de kersverse eigenaar laat er geen gras over groeien. Het kondigt meteen aan de nodige veranderingen in het bedrijf te gaan maken. Maar wat zijn die? En verder was er nog meer reden voor feest. Op de AEX werden namelijk nieuwe hoogtes bereikt. Eindelijk staan we weer boven het niveau van vlak voor Liberation Day. Dus kijken we hoe ver weg die 1000-puntengrens nog is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down Microsoft's historic $30 billion investment in UK AI infrastructure — and what it really means for the balance of power between global tech giants and national innovation.Highlights00:05 — Microsoft has announced plans to invest $30 billion in AI infrastructure and ongoing operations in the UK. The investment includes $15 billion for capital expenditure to expand Microsoft's data center footprint in the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Microsoft's landmark investment is a powerful vote of confidence in UK leadership in AI and cutting-edge technology.01:07 — This announcement was made during Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK. Accompanying him during this journey were Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The U.S. tech industry holds significant bargaining power. A collaboration like this is incredibly important for a country like the UK.01:35 — However, I'm also reminded of comments made by Siemens CEO Roland Busch and SAP CEO Christian Klein, who urged the EU to reconsider its AI legislation, arguing that current laws were causing Europe to fall behind. There's a risk that countries like the UK, despite financially benefiting from AI investment, will ultimately serve as a conduit for U.S companies. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

What does neuroscience reveal about great leadership—and why does it matter now more than ever?In this episode, we explore the brain science behind leadership: how it guides us in uncertainty, shapes culture, and unlocks human potential. From Microsoft's near-collapse to its stunning revival under Satya Nadella, we'll uncover what happens in the brain when leadership fails—and what changes when it succeeds. You'll hear how trust, safety, and connection transform not just teams, but entire organizations, driving innovation and resilience.If you have any topic suggestions for future episodes, don't hesitate to reach out!

The headline was kinda shocking

President Trump's state visit to the UK has coincided with a flurry of multi-billion investments in British tech industries. But among the good news, there's money travelling in the opposite direction, with UK pharma giant GSK announcing massive investment in the US. And, for the UK steel industry there's disappointment, as hoped-for cuts to tariffs on UK exports to the US come to nothing. Sean Farrington looks and what's coming in, what's going out and what's staying the same with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and expert voices from the UK steel industry and the financial markets.

Ryan Gottfredson explains the transformational journey from being focused solely on doing better to becoming better as a human being, drawing on his research and latest book. He introduces the distinction between our "doing side" (talents, knowledge, skills) versus our "being side" (quality of our internal operating system), showing how genuine transformation requires upgrading who we are, not just what we do.• Most developmental efforts focus on the doing side, but transformational growth requires improving our being side• Vertical development upgrades our internal operating system to respond more effectively to challenges• The becoming better journey starts with awakening to our current wiring and how it affects our responses• Most organizations promote high-doing leaders without considering their being side quality• Microsoft's transformation under Satya Nadella demonstrates the power of high-being leadership• 70% of adults have experienced trauma that has wired their nervous system for self-protection• Surface-level strategies like meditation and deeper approaches like mindset work can help refine our internal operating system• The goal is becoming a "brighter light" in our spheres of influence through personal transformationReach out to Ryan if you take his mindset assessment or read his book "Becoming Better" – he's offered to connect with listeners and discuss your results.I'd love to hear from you!

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I dive into the growing debate between SaaS and agentic AI, sparked by Satya Nadella's December 2024 remarks suggesting that AI agents could spell the end of SaaS.Highlights00:32 — We've all been hearing a lot about SaaS dying — the demise of SaaS — triggered by AI, an opinion expressed in December of 2024 by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who said that the rise of AI and agents is going to lead to the collapse of SaaS, the hollowing out of it, to become little more than a third-tier support product.01:18 — Well, Marc Benioff said basically that this view, it's just so much nonsense. And Benioff even went biblical. He said, we've got to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff, and we need to be able to determine what's going on here with SaaS, what's going on with AI, and what's going on with agentic AI. How are they going to play together, along with Data Cloud and so on?02:26 — And he said, that's very much not the right question. He used some pretty tough language in explaining this. He said we've got thousands of customers who are very happily using Salesforce applications along with our Agentforce platform, to drive better business results. It's very beneficial to believe both in the future of SaaS and the future of agentic AI.04:02 — And on the earnings call, he went into detail about how many customers now are investing heavily in Agentforce. And the number of new business deals coming in — or repeat business — on agentic AI and Agentforce coming from existing customers. The Data Cloud that underpins this and Agentforce, he said, are now on a $1.2 billion run rate.04:32 — I wish that there would be a point at which Satya Nadella could say, with the experience of nine months now of feedback in the market and from people he's talked to: “Hey, I'm going to double down on what I said in December 2024.” Or he could say, “You know what, maybe I was a little too aggressive on that.” I'd love to hear that.

Drew Allen, CEO of Grace Technologies, shares real stories from the floor, the ideas shaping safer plants, and why culture matters more than slogans. Drew's background stretches from a family line linked to Samuel Morse to teenage years in China to global business development at 3M. That range shows up in how he leads. He listens, he moves fast, and he expects teams to work on things that matter. In his world that means saving electricians from shocks and arc flash while helping manufacturers modernize without losing their soul. Grace started with mechanical and analog products, then took the hard road into fully digital systems. The shift took time and patience. Today their platform brings sensors, AI, and cloud tooling into maintenance and safety. The example that stuck with me is a proximity band for electricians. It lights, beeps, and vibrates as a worker approaches live voltage. At TriCity, that band prevented three near misses in a three month pilot. A fourth incident still ended in a hospital visit and a costly outage because the worker left the band in his car. Another apprentice nearly placed a hand on a live bus bar until the band told him something was wrong. These moments remind you that technology can change a day and a life. Drew's take on culture is refreshingly direct. Values are not a poster. They are a filter for who you hire. He looks for customer obsession, ownership, curiosity, and candid communication. Then he pairs that with high expectations and real care. Autonomy comes with accountability. Impact matters. If someone does not want to work on meaningful problems, this is not their place. It sounds firm. It also explains why the company keeps earning top workplace recognition while raising the bar on performance. We also talked about Maple Studios, the startup incubator Drew launched in Davenport, Iowa. He sees gaps in the industrial ecosystem. Fewer big exits. Slow adoption cycles. Founders stuck inside large companies. Maple gives them tools, space, and hard feedback so they can iterate faster and build things factories will actually deploy. His advice is simple. Ship, learn, and repeat. Do customer reviews early. Expect a thousand small gotchas. Move through them rather than pretending they will not appear. Looking ahead, Drew expects robotics to accelerate for a very practical reason. Companies cannot find enough people. Dangerous work will be automated. He imagines maintenance tasks shifting toward humanoid robots, with machines designed so robotic agents can service them. He also references GM's self healing language to point at a coming blend of sensing, prediction, and automated repair.  On AI, he shares Satya Nadella's challenge. Measure productivity and GDP impact rather than hype. The promise is there. The scoreboard will tell the story. If you work in industrial tech, this conversation lands close to home. You will hear how to bring digital tools into legacy environments, how to design for safety from the start, and how to keep teams motivated without losing kindness. You will also catch an open invitation. Drew wants to partner with builders who care about this space. If that is you, reach out to him on LinkedIn or visit graceport.com. And if you are curious about the band that vibrates before a bad day begins, this episode is a good place to start. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, ServiceNow's push into CRM meets Salesforce's expansion into ITSM (IT Service Management), powered by agentic AI.Highlights00:14 — While I'm focusing here on Salesforce and ServiceNow, and some changes each is making to get into markets dominated by the other, the larger point here is about how agentic AI is triggering new competition and new approaches. Today, I'm going to share about five repercussions with you.01:15 — On Salesforce's Q2 earnings call, Marc Benioff said, “Hey, we're going to get into IT Service Management.” Salesforce is changing from being an apps company to a data company. It just so happens that ServiceNow and CEO Bill McDermott have been making it very plain that they intend to move aggressively into the CRM business, which has been Salesforce's prime area.02:34 — So, I'm going to mention big implications. One, these companies are looking for new hunting grounds — new areas to help customers do more and to allow these vendors to make more money. Agentic AI is also blasting out boundaries, because agentic AI, I think, optimally works on an end-to-end basis.03:36 — Benioff, on the earnings call, said Data Cloud and agentic AI — Agentforce — are "at the heart of our company strategy", not their applications. Which leads into this: I don't think, as Satya Nadella said, “apps are dying,” or “SaaS is dying,” but I do think that agentic AI is going to change profoundly what apps do, how they work, and how customers can extract value from them.04:44 — We are seeing agentic AI knock down a lot of boundaries. You're going to have more wide-ranging tools that let [customers] see all of their data, be able to develop end-to-end processes that are more effective, more successful, and give them better insights — and, mostly, better business outcomes.

Asha Sharma leads AI product strategy at Microsoft, where she works with thousands of companies building AI products and has unique visibility into what's working (and what's not) across more than 15,000 startups and enterprises. Before Microsoft, Asha was COO at Instacart, and VP of Product & Engineering at Meta, notably leading product for Messenger.What you'll learn:1. Why we're moving from “product as artifact” to “product as organism” and what this means for builders2. Microsoft's “seasons” planning framework that allows them to adapt quickly in the AI era3. The death of the org chart: how agents are turning hierarchies into task networks and why “the loop, not the lane” is the new organizing principle4. Why post-training will soon see more investment than pre-training—and how to build your own AI moat with fine-tuning5. Her prediction for the “agentic society”—where org charts become work charts and agents outnumber humans in your company6. The three-phase pattern every successful AI company follows (and why most fail at phase one)7. The rise of code-native interfaces and why GUIs might be going the way of the desktop8.

The media landscape is noisier than ever. How can founders and business leaders get their stories heard? And in an age of AI-driven content, how can creators distinguish themselves and build a direct relationship with their audience? In this episode, CJ sits down with Alex Konrad, a longtime tech journalist, former Forbes editor (responsible for curating the renowned Forbes 30 Under 30, Cloud 100, and Midas lists), and founder of Upstarts, a newsletter covering startups, venture capital, and the people shaping the innovation economy. Alex shares insider stories from his decade at Forbes, including how lists like the “30 Under 30” were created and what it was like profiling (and sometimes singing karaoke with) the likes of Marc Benioff, Satya Nadella, and Sam Altman. The conversation explores the evolving landscape of media, the business fund-raising announcements, how startups can actually work with journalists to shape perception, the rise of VC firms as media powerhouses, the shifting role of platforms like Substack and LinkedIn, why relationship-driven content will outlast the race to break news, and the death of traditional SEO.—LINKS:Alex Konrad on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexrkonradAlex Konrad on X (@alexrkonrad): https://x.com/alexrkonradUpstarts Media: CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: LINKS MENTIONED:No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & Startups: https://www.youtube.com/@NoPriorsPodcastLatent Space: https://www.youtube.com/@LatentSpacePodThe Daily: https://www.nytimes.com/column/the-daily52 Sourcery with Molly O'Shea https://www.youtube.com/@SourceryVCThe Information: https://www.nytimes.com/column/the-dailyRELATED EPISODES:“Let's Just See What Breaks” — Intuit's CFO on Being a Disruptor When You're Already the Incumbent - —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:32) Sponsor – Navan | Rillet | Pulley(07:13) Building the Forbes 30 Under 30, Cloud 100, and Midas List(11:49) The Meme of SEC Trouble on Forbes List and a Media Tip(14:08) Why Lists Work So Well(17:17) Sponsor – Brex | Aleph | RightRev(21:57) What Might Convince Alex To Start a List(23:13) Karaoke With Benioff & Interacting With Billionaires(29:14) Entrepreneurship & Work-Life Integration(33:25) Sales Skills Alex Learned as a Founder(37:56) The Dance Behind Fundraising Announcements(42:30) How To Capitalize on the Media Outside of Funding Rounds(45:24) Examples of Founder “Oh S**t!” Moments(47:58) VC Firms As Media Companies(51:16) Non-Journalists Interviewing in Tech(55:02) Audience Relationship & Guarding Against AI(57:41) The Death of SEO(1:00:45) The Value of Time Sensitivity and News in the Era of AI(1:02:40) Platform Relationships & Substack(1:04:55) Bootstrapping Media & VC Pressure(1:10:55) Wrap—SPONSORS:Navan is the all-in-one travel and expense solution that helps finance teams streamline reconciliation, enforce policies automatically, and gain real-time visibility.

Your nervous system becomes your organization's blueprint. This episode unpacks how bracing, urgency, and emotional pressure get transmitted — even in high-functioning teams — and what to do when you're the one creating the tension.Leadership isn't just strategy. It's nervous system stewardship.In this episode of The Recalibration, we explore why high-capacity humans — even the most visionary and emotionally intelligent leaders — still create cultures of quiet urgency and invisible pressure. Because when you lead from a sympathetic state (braced, hurried, reactive), your team doesn't just notice — they mirror it.Drawing from personal reflection, organizational patterns, and the leadership model of Satya Nadella, we unpack:– The subtle ways team members “read” a leader's state– How internal tension becomes external culture– What to look for in your team that reveals your internal leadership posture– Why Identity-Level Recalibration matters more than strategy realignmentYou'll learn how emotional tone is transmitted, how to spot signs of bracing in yourself and your team, and what it really means to embody regulated leadership.This episode is especially resonant for: – The Burnout Wrapped in Gratitude still holding everything together – The Quiet Resistor noticing the mismatch but unsure how to name it – The Misaligned Achiever whose performance masks emotional pressureToday's Micro Recalibration:“What is my nervous system teaching my team — without me realizing it?”Regulate before you communicate. Lead from embodied presence, not performance.Referenced Content:#24 The Power of Small Steps When You're Burned OutIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Recent tech company protests are highlighting the connection between worker power and free speech here in Seattle. On Sunday, protestors, including current and former Microsoft employees, kayaked across Lake Washington to the homes of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and President Brad Smith. From the water they unfurled banners reading “Microsoft kills kids” and “Satya + Brad = War Criminals”. This was the latest in a week of action calling for the company to cut ties with the Israeli government and military. On Tuesday, protestors briefly occupied a plaza in Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters, declaring it a “Liberated Zone” encampment. On Wednesday, another protest at the campus led to several arrests. KUOW labor and economy reporter Monica Nickelsburg was at Wednesday’s protest, and is here with us to discuss the specific demands of Microsoft, and how the state of the tech industry is changing employee power. Guest: Monica Nickelsburg is KUOW’s labor and economy reporter. She’s also the cohost of Booming: A weekly podcast about the economic forces shaping our lives here in the Pacific Northwest Related stories: Protesters occupy Microsoft HQ, demand it cut ties with Israeli military - KUOW Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!
