In every organization there's at least one person quietly doing wild things with AI - working faster, thinking bigger, and building their own personal AI stack. In this episode, host Susan Diaz explains how to find those secret power users, support them properly, and turn their experiments into an organizational advantage (without burning them out or making them your unpaid AI help desk). Episode summary This solo episode is a field guide to the people already living in your organization's AI future. Susan starts by painting the familiar picture of the "suspiciously fast" teammate whose work is cleaner, more strategic, and clearly powered by AI - even if no one has formally asked how. She names them for what they are: AI power users who have built quiet personal stacks and are effectively acting as your R&D lab for AI. From there, she walks through: How to spot these people through audits, language, manager input, and usage data. Why most organizations ignore or accidentally exploit them. A practical three-part framework - Recognition, Resourcing, Routing - to turn power users into supported AI champions instead of secret heroes headed for burnout. The equity implications of who gets seen as a "champion" and how to ensure your AI leaders reflect the diversity of your workforce. She closes with a simple champion blueprint and a piece of homework that any founder, leader, or manager can act on this week. Key takeaways You already have AI power users. The question isn't "Do they exist?" It's "Where are they, and what are we doing with them?" Power users are your unofficial R&D lab. They're not theorising about AI. They're testing it inside real workflows, finding what breaks, and figuring out how to prompt effectively in your specific context. They are rarely the most technical people. Your best champions are often people closest to the work - sales, customer-facing roles, operations - who are simply determined to figure it out. Not just IT. If you ignore them, three things happen: They get tired of doing extra work with no support. Their workflows stay trapped in their heads and personal accounts. Your organization misses the chance to scale what's working. Use the 3 Rs to turn power users into champions: Recognition - Name the role (AI Champions/Guides), make their contribution visible, and invite them into strategy and training conversations. Resourcing - Give them real time (10-20% of their week), adjust workload and goals, and reward them properly - ideally with money, training, and access. Routing - Turn personal hacks into shared assets: playbooks, Looms, internal training, and workflows embedded in L&D or ops. Connect - don't overload - your champions. Give them a direct line to IT, security, legal, and leadership so they can sanity-check ideas and inform strategy, without becoming the AI police. Equity matters here. If you only see loud voices and people closest to power, you'll miss quiet experimenters, women, and people of colour who may be building brilliant systems under the radar. Use multiple ways (surveys, nominations, self-identification) to surface a diverse group of champions. Champions must be guides, not gatekeepers. Their role is to make it easier and safer for others to experiment - not to punish or shut people down. A simple champion blueprint: identify → invite → define → resource → amplify. Done well, your champions become the bridge between today's experimentation and tomorrow's AI strategy. Episode highlights [00:02] The "suspiciously fast" colleague and what their behaviour is telling you. [02:00] Personal AI stacks and why Divers "swan dive backwards" into AI without waiting for permission. [03:37] The risk of ignoring power users: burnout, trapped knowledge, and missed scaling opportunities. [05:03] Why power users are effectively your AI research and development lab. [06:33] How to surface power users through better audit questions, open-ended prompts, and usage data. [07:25] Listening for phrases like "I built a system for that" and "I just play with this stuff because I'm a geek." [08:25] Using managers and platform data to spot a small cluster of heavy AI users. [09:37] The danger of quietly turning champions into unpaid AI help desks. [10:33] The 3 Rs: Recognition, Resourcing, and Rooting. [11:18] What real recognition looks like—naming, invitations to strategy, and public acknowledgement. [12:05] Resourcing: giving champions time, adjusting workloads, and updating job descriptions. [13:14] Rooting: creating playbooks, Looms, and embedding workflows into L&D and ops. [14:29] Connecting champions with IT, security, legal, and leadership. [15:45] The equity lens: who gets seen as a champion and who's missing. [17:16] The risk that women and marginalised groups get left behind and automated first. [18:30] Using surveys, nominations, and explicit invitations to diversify your champion group. [19:07] Why champions should be guides, not AI police or gatekeepers. [19:47] The 5-step "champion blueprint": identify, invite, define, resource, amplify. [22:15] Your homework: talk to one secret power user this week and ask how you can make space for their experimentation. Think of one person in your organization who's already that secret AI power user. This week, have a conversation that goes beyond "cool, can you do that for everyone?" and into "This is important. How can we make space for you to keep experimenting like this and help others learn from you?" That's the first step in building your AI champion program - whether or not you call it that yet.

Making a Scene Presents - The Secret Power of Sidechains: How They Shape Modern MixesIf you've ever looked at a compressor or a gate and wondered what the little “Sidechain” button does, you're not alone. Most beginners skip right past it because it looks like something made for scientists, not indie musicians working in a home studio. But the truth is simple. A sidechain is just a way to let one sound control what happens to another sound. That's it. Once you understand that idea, you unlock one of the most powerful tools in the entire world of mixing. http://www.makingascene.org

Ever wondered what history smells like? Or ponder the odor of love, or the stench of medieval Paris, or the sacred fragrance of religion? A new exhibition in Germany allows visitors to discover unknown worlds of smells by sniffing their way through 81 different fragrances across 37 different galleries. The show "The Secret Power of Scents," which opened to the public in October at the Kunstpalast museum in the western city of Düsseldorf, combines fragrances with art, taking visitors on a journey of more than 1,000 years of cultural history. "This exhibition is an experiment—and an invitation for our audience to discover the history of scents with their noses," said Felix Krämer, the museum's director general. The exhibition follows a chronological order, from religious artifacts of the Middle Ages through to contemporary art of the 21st century. The various galleries are equipped with scent steles, atomizers, and diffusers to create a connection between the art and the smell of a specific time period or cultural context. "It's the first exhibition worldwide to bring scents into a museum in this form, format, and scale," said Robert Müller-Grünow, the show's curator and a leading expert in the field of scent and scent technology. Certain smells connect to different eras of history. In a gallery dedicated to the Roaring 20s, the room is filled with the uplifting scent of tobacco, vanilla, and leather—a mixture that's a nod to famous early fragrances such as the historic Tabac Blond, which was launched by the fragrance house Caron in 1919. Moving on to modern art, the museum presents more contemporary smells between works of Andy Warhol, Yves Klein, or Günther Uecker that remind visitors of world-famous brands such as Coca-Cola or German airline carrier Eurowings, which diffuses a pleasant and relaxing scent on the plane when passengers board. For visitors strolling and sniffing their way through the show, the 81 different scents opened up a whole new world, visitor Kirsten Gnoth said. “I've been to the collection here before, but now it's completely new with scents that match the pictures and eras,” she said.

Jeremy Au and Kristie Neo break down how China, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia are forming new economic corridors that reshape trade, capital movement, and technology strategy. They describe how China and the Gulf now work together at a scale that surpasses Gulf–West flows, how the UAE and Saudi Arabia use bold planning to diversify their economies, and why Western reporting still misses the magnitude of this shift. They examine how Chinese overcapacity fuels Middle Eastern mega projects, how sovereign funds on both sides deepen cross investment, and how AI, data centers, and energy abundance position the Gulf as a future compute hub. Kristie also outlines the gap between vision and execution in projects like NEOM, while Jeremy reflects on how these moves echo earlier global cycles. 00:55 Trade flows flipped direction. China Gulf commerce surpassed Gulf West trade in 2024 because Chinese overcapacity met Gulf demand for infrastructure, construction, and technology. 02:18 Media exposure hides the scale of change. Western and Chinese outlets lack global reach in covering Middle East China ties, which keeps the shift underreported. 08:56 UAE applied the Singapore playbook. Pro business policies, low tax systems, and investor friendly rules drew global hedge funds, family offices, and operators to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. 14:51 Qatar's World Cup showed the model. Gulf capital combined with Chinese labor and construction speed to complete major stadium projects on compressed timelines. 25:32 Sovereign funds deepened two way flows. Middle Eastern allocators increased exposure to Chinese assets as both sides diversified away from US denominated risk. 40:12 AI infrastructure became a national priority. Gulf governments invested heavily in data centers and chip capacity by pairing cheap energy with large land availability. 54:23 NEOM revealed ambition and friction. The 120 kilometer enclosed city concept captured Saudi Arabia's vision but faced delays that showed how difficult execution can be.

In this episode of The Workplace Podcast, William Corless sits down with Colin Fisher, Associate Professor at UCL's School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. Colin breaks down why most teams underperform, it's not because of motivation or conflict, but because leaders focus their energy in the wrong places. Drawing on decades of research in group dynamics, creativity, and decision-making, he explains: The 60–30–10 Rule and why team success is determined long before the team meets What “real teams” actually look like (and why most groups don't qualify) Social loafing, the Ringelmann effect, and how structure prevents it Why norms shape more of our behaviour than personality ever will How polarization happens and what teams can do to prevent it The importance of shared leadership, psychological safety, and brokers across groups Packed with practical insights and backed by rich research and examples from sports, music, and organizational life, this conversation is essential for anyone building or leading teams.

In this episode, AJ breaks down a hard truth most companies never tell their L&D leaders: you're sitting on one of the most strategically powerful levers in the business, and most organizations aren't using it. Instead of building shiny internal marketplaces and content libraries that collect dust, AJ argues that L&D should anchor itself to the company's most urgent, high-stakes moments—product launches, sales stalls, partnership experiments, cross-functional tension—and build learning systems that directly change behavior, speed, and outcomes.Through a candid, energized reflection on human behavior, alignment, and the operational realities leaders are facing, AJ lays out why L&D must become a strategic operator instead of a content factory. When L&D aligns its programs to the real problems product, sales, and marketing leaders are wrestling with, the function can finally quantify its impact, influence decisions, and meaningfully change business performance.A sharp, forward-leaning perspective for any L&D leader who's ready to stop being a support function and start becoming a business driver.

What makes Harry Potter's Invisibility Cloak truly special? Sure, it's one of the legendary Deathly Hallows — indestructible, eternal, and able to render its wearer perfectly invisible. But Dumbledore tells Harry that it only ever worked fully for him, its rightful master. So what's the secret power hidden inside the Cloak? In this video, J dives deep into the theory that the Cloak's magic isn't about invisibility at all — it's about protection. From Moody's enchanted eye to the Marauder's Map and even Nagini at Godric's Hollow, every moment the Cloak “fails” actually proves it's doing something more powerful…

What if understanding group dynamics is the secret to building high-performing teams? In this episode, Kevin speaks with Dr. Colin Fisher about what makes successful teams work. They debunk the myth of the lone genius and explore why collaboration, not individual brilliance, drives real innovation. Dr. Fisher explains when team synergy happens and why so many teams underperform without realizing it. He also shares practical insights on optimal meeting sizes, how remote and hybrid work affects collaboration, and how to harness healthy competition without damaging team performance.

Quotes: "I really value the evidence and the research that shows what works and what doesn't. I also acknowledge that sometimes what works in research does not work in practice, in real life. But making that bridge is really what's important to me in everything I do." "Do I feel like I can speak up here? Do I feel like I can give feedback? For the most part, do you feel like you can speak up and say what's on your mind and offer new ideas and push back? To me, that's the most important thing when you're trying to determine the difference between a toxic culture and a healthy one." "I used to think the most important thing in dealing with conflict was empathy, but I've actually really come to believe it's emotional regulation. The more we can handle our own negative emotions and make good choices despite them, the more these conversations and relationships will grow stronger and the more resilient we will feel." "Promoting someone who doesn't have the skills to do the job and you're not gonna give them those skills creates a good amount of insecurity on their part. The research shows the exact opposite of what we assume—the more senior they get, the more insecure people feel. We are creating this gap, not just in skill, but also in confidence."   Episode Resources: Amy Gallo on LinkedIn Amy Gallo Website  Nick Hague on LinkedIn World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

Why do smart people join dangerous cults, follow bad leaders, or stay silent when they know something's wrong? In this episode, Michael Shermer talks with organizational psychologist Colin Fisher about the science of group dynamics and conformity. From jazz bands to political mobs, Fisher explains how our evolutionary need to belong both unites and blinds us. He discusses the psychology of revenge, polarization, social media extremism, and why our brains are wired to dehumanize "the other." What makes a group innovative instead of dogmatic? And how close are we—really—to turning everyday politics into a cult? Colin M. Fisher is an Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London's School of Management. His research focuses on helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He has written about group dynamics for both popular science and management audiences, and his work has been profiled in prominent media outlets such as BBC, Forbes, NPR, and The Times. His new book is The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups.

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

It's people like Alex who are pushing and will continue to push the future of medicine and healthcare. Because of his curious and exploratory mind, Alex refused to accept his diagnosis as chronically sick and thought differently about possible solutions. Many years later, he is the foremost pioneer of the use and delivery of hydrogen to optimize human health, from catalyzing metabolic health to working synergistically to enhance already established treatments.Alex Tarnava is a self-taught scientist, inventor, and author whose work sits at the intersection of biomedical innovation, sovereign health, and philosophical disruption. He is the inventor of the world's only open-cup molecular hydrogen tablet—a patented delivery system that has become the most studied and widely adopted form of hydrogen therapy globally. The technology has been used in more than 21 published clinical trials and has helped catalyze a new wave of research into the therapeutic potential of molecular hydrogen.Contact:Website - https://alextarnava.comWebsite - https://hydrogenwatertablets.com Join us as we explore:How a mystery virus changed Alex's life forever, sending him on a search for anything that would reverse the chronic inflammation ravaging his body - and he found hydrogen.How hydrogen water works biologically, how it creates cellular homeostasis and can even modulate hunger hormones.How much hydrogen do you need, the conditions its most effective for, the best ways to take it, how we produce it endogenously (and therefore how to produce more naturally) and why it is NOT an antioxidant.Why Alex needed to invent and develop his own delivery methods and machines to ensure safe and effective hydrogen delivery.Support the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

These are strange but predictable ways our brains can trick us when we take risks — especially with money. My guest, Alex O. Imas, Professor of Behavioral Science, Economics, and Applied AI at the University of Chicago, has studied these “behavioral anomalies” with Nobel Prize winner Richard Thaler. Together they co-authored The Winner's Curse: Behavioral Economics Anomalies, Then and Now. (https://amzn.to/48gycBj) . Listen to how these things work, because understanding these anomalies can help keep you from falling victim to them.

Fisher, Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London, joins me to share insights that can help any team excel.

Kelly welcomes Professor Colin Fisher back to the podcast to discuss his new book, “The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups.” “We're living in an age of unprecedented individualism.”  “Groups that look outward adapt faster to an ever-changing world.” “Tolerated deviants can't dissent on every issue.”

Today, he is an Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London's School of Management, researching the hidden processes of helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He is the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups (Amazon, Bookshop). Most of us assume that the best thing we can do for our teams is to be a great coach as they're working together. That absolutely helps, but the research says that only 10% of group effectiveness is what we do once the team is underway. In this conversation, Colin and I explore how to get a lot better at the other 90%. Key Points The house always wins. If the structure isn't right for the team to succeed, little else matters in the long run. Leaders tend to put a majority of their attention on coaching teams in progress instead of the more significant work at the start of structuring and launching teams. Work on fixing structural problems before you focus on fixing the process. 60% of group effectiveness is determined by structure, 30% by the launch, and 10% by expert coaching. Critical for structure is the team goal being clear, important, and challenging. Be sure to document it. Negotiate roles, tasks, and jobs to support structure. Determine early how to articulate progress and highlight small wins. Ask yourself if the group has the right people to achieve the objective. Deep diversity that supports the goal is essential. Surface discussions about norms at the start, especially related to communication and storage of information. At a team launch, articulate why everyone is there, discuss key norms, and schedule a midpoint to reflect and align.
