Award-winning filmmaker and long-time MUFON investigator Jennifer Stein joins Martin Willis to discuss her decades in UFO research, her documentary work on the Travis Walton abduction case, and the high-strangeness of Sedona, Arizona. Jennifer shares her experiences at Bradshaw Ranch—rumored to be near an underground military facility—where she's witnessed mysterious lights rising from the ground, unusual orbs, and persistent military helicopter activity. She explains Sedona's energy vortexes, rapid synchronicities, and why the region has become a hotspot for paranormal phenomena. The conversation turns to the Skyfire Summit—a special four-day event marking the 50th anniversary of Travis Walton's 1975 abduction. Jennifer details her journey making Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton, the challenges of film rights disputes, and how recent debunking campaigns mirror the tactics of legendary UFO skeptic Philip Klass. From the refusal of Snowflake, AZ officials to embrace their UFO history, to the shifting landscape of UFO disclosure, congressional hearings, and the recent shutdown of AARO, Jennifer pulls no punches.SHOW NOTES Support the Show & Stay Connected!

Skip The Interview Prep, Lose the Job. Here's How To Fix It I Varun Puri I CEO of Yoodli Most people treat interviews like pop quizzes. They wing it. Then wonder why they keep coming in second. Here's the thing: If  you don't rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your practice. And even for most execs? That level can be none. Varun Puri—ex-Google, debate shark, and co-founder of Yoodli—is done watching smart people blow it because they never practiced the one thing that matters: how they sound when it counts. Yoodli isn't a coach. And, It's not “content.” It's your AI interview  sparring partner— built to catch every “um,” dodge every ramble, and turn your half-baked answers into mic-drop moments. That's why Korn Ferry, Google, Snowflake, Databricks, and use it—because nothing kills a deal faster than a boring, muddled interview.   In this episode: The painful reason brilliant execs still tank interviews The three invisible habits that scream “don't hire me” How to stack 15,000 practice reps without begging for anyone's time Why public speaking fear beats fear of death (and what to do about it) What actually changes when feedback is instant and can't be ignored Listen now. Or keep losing to the person who did.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I cover Snowflake's investment in Hightouch to advance agentic AI for personalized marketing.Highlights00:03 — Snowflake Ventures, the investment arm of Snowflake, alongside Capital One Ventures, has announced an investment in Hightouch, a data and AI platform focused on personalized, targeted marketing. In 2024, Hightouch launched an agentic AI solution for lifecycle marketing called AI Decisioning.00:35 — Adam Kaufman, Vice President, Global Head of Industry Go To Market at Snowflake, shared insights about the investment: "By building directly on top of Snowflake's unified platform for data and AI, Hightouch enables marketers to execute faster with less complexity and more control. We're excited to support their continued growth and innovation in the AI Data Cloud."01:08 — This investment represents the confidence that major players like Snowflake have in agentic AI for marketing use cases. Interestingly, agentic AI for marketing was one of the first use cases to be discussed when the technology emerged not so long ago, and has obvious applications, particularly in the area of personalization.01:31 — However, this level of AI-driven personalization comes with its challenges, like data privacy regulations — especially regarding consent, transparency in decision making, and data security. This investment by Snowflake Ventures is encouraging because it should help shape the direction of agentic AI-driven marketing. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Fredrik talks to Matt Topol about Arrow and how the Arrow ecosystem is evolving. Arrow is an open source, columnar in-memory data format designed for efficient data processing and analytics - which means passing data between things without needing to transform it, and ideally even without needing to copy it. What makes the ecosystem grow, and why is it very cool to have Arrow on the GPU? What is the connection between Arrow, machine learning, and Hugging face? Matt emphasizes the value of open standards, even as they work with or within more closed systems they can help open things up, and help bring about more modular solutions so that developers can focus on doing their core area really well. This episode can be seen as a follow-up to episode 567, where Matt first joined to discuss everything Arrow. Recorded during Øredev 2024. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS!

What if AI made switching platforms effortless—and what would that mean for SaaS? This week on Topline, Sam Jacobs, Asad Zaman, and AJ Bruno unpack the latest headlines around Databricks, Snowflake, and Ramp to explore whether AI is truly shifting the foundations of enterprise software. They debate the reality behind “vibe coding,” question whether AI is actually boosting productivity (or just slowing us down), and discuss why so much of today's AGI conversation feels overhyped. Plus: the rise of nano agents, the illusion of developer efficiency, and what jobs might look like in 2030.   Thanks for tuning in!

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Andy Bell, Head of Data Product Management at Precisely, to explore a challenge that many organizations continue to underestimate: the role of data integrity in AI strategies. With only 12 percent of businesses expressing confidence in the quality of their AI data, it's clear that the rush to implement AI is often outpacing the readiness of the data that supports it. Andy and I unpack what happens when enterprises leap into generative or agentic AI without addressing foundational data issues. From hallucinations to bias to unreliable outputs, the risks are significant. As we discussed, these risks don't just impact models — they erode trust with customers and complicate accountability, especially in regulated industries where traceability is non-negotiable. We then explored the power of third-party data enrichment and how it can offer much-needed context that internal datasets often lack. Andy shared real-world examples, including how a major delivery company saved 65 million dollars by optimizing address accuracy and how San Bernardino County used Precisely's wildfire risk models to improve emergency planning. These aren't abstract use cases — they show measurable business value. Andy also introduced the Precisely Data Link program, a solution designed to make it easier to connect, manage, and query multiple third-party datasets. With persistent IDs and flexible delivery methods through APIs, managed services, and platforms like Snowflake and Databricks, Precisely is helping organizations speed up time to value while reducing integration headaches. Looking ahead, Andy shared how Precisely is building AI capabilities that allow users to query third-party data using natural language. This shift aims to make complex data interactions more intuitive and accessible to business users who may not be data engineers. If data is the fuel for AI, then the quality and context of that data will define the road ahead. Is your organization doing enough to ensure its data can be trusted by the AI it deploys?

Bret Taylor's legendary career includes being CTO of Meta, co-CEO of Salesforce, chairman of the board at OpenAI (yes, during that drama), co-creating both Google Maps and the Like button, and founding three companies. Today he's the founder and CEO of Sierra, an AI agent company transforming customer service. He's one of the few people I've met who's been wildly successful at every level—from engineer to C-suite executive to founder—and across almost every discipline, including PM, engineer, CTO, COO, CPO, CEO, and board member.In this conversation, you'll learn:1. The brutal product review that nearly ended his Google career—and how that failure led to creating Google Maps2. The question Sheryl Sandberg taught him to ask every morning (“What's the most impactful thing I can do today?”) that transformed how he approached every role3. The three AI market segments that matter4. Why AI agents will replace SaaS products5. His framework for knowing whose advice to actually listen to—and how that came in handy during the OpenAI board drama6. The counterintuitive go-to-market strategy most AI startups get wrong7. Sierra's outcome-based pricing model that's transforming how enterprise software is sold (and why every SaaS company should adopt it)8.

If your marketing grew like a dividend-reinvestment plan, would you still let a quarterly target dictate every decision? Agility requires stacking returning gains faster than the market changes—think compound interest, but for marketing campaigns. Today we're going to talk about the Compound Marketing Engine, agentic AI, and why “data-driven” still needs greater adoption among leaders.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Chris O'Neill, CEO of GrowthLoop.

Tiyi lives in North Michigan where she is the Mayor of her town! She has Irish, Creole and Nordic ancestry and can trace her lineage back to Haiti in 1702. Her family's story is fascinating. Tiyi starts off by telling us about her Great-Grandmother who met a leprechaun in Cork, Ireland and shows us the resulting enchanted shillelagh that has been passed down her family. We hear also about her grandfather's Hoodoo practices and the wisdom he passed down to her. Being a sensitive soul and clearly bearing the generations of practice of sensitive and honourable spiritual contact, Tiyi recalls hearing ghosts and voices as a child. On occasion she would encounter what she describes as 'The Slinky Lady' and one of her stories details flying out-of-body experience where she felt herself as part of the landscape. Tiyi works with forest spirits and shares a life-changing experience in a woodland which took place at a very difficult time in her life. During this wondrous encounter, she received a blessing from the forest. On another occasion she perceived 'The Gate Keeper' in the forest, from which she produced the painting that is shared in the episode. We hear about the 'talking tree' that her grandchildren reported, and we end with a series of mind bogging photos that could potentially indicate a Sasquatch encounter!

❄️ Snowflakes drift through the air as icy rain taps against frozen branches, and a cold wind weaves between the trees. The forest is wrapped in a shimmering blanket of white and silver, where every twig, leaf, and pine needle glistens under the weight of winter. Wind howls softly through the canopy, carrying the crisp scent of snow, the crackle of distant ice breaking, and the low, rolling rumble of thunder in the distance. It's a quiet storm—harsh yet beautiful—where snow, ice, rain, wind, and thunder join together in a frozen symphony, transforming the woods into a peaceful, glacial dream.

Ben Lerner was a fan of tech growing up, along side being into math and science. Right out of school, he joined a startup called Data Nitro, which attempted to integrate python into excel. Ever since then, he has been jamming in the tech and startup world. Outside of tech, he married to a computational biologist. He enjoys padel, which is kind of like Pickleball meets Tennis, and of course ping pong. Though, with his full time job as a CEO, he often finds his hobby is going home to write code.Ben realized that LLMs are really good at understanding code, leaps and bounds better than prior ML models. While he was at Google, he was also digging into how to apply LLMs to coding in general. Applying both of these things, he and his co-founders are seeing where this can be applied to the real world, starting with Snowflake compute.This is the creation story of Espresso AI.SponsorsPaddle.comSema SoftwarePropelAuthPostmanMeilisearchMailtrap.TECH Domains (https://get.tech/codestory)Linkshttps://espresso.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/espressoben/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Case of the 'Sandown Clown' on the Isle of Wight has intrigued researchers for decades. Now, a woman claiming to be the long-sought-after witness, 'Fay' (a pseudonym) who was seven when the encounter took place has made contact with fellow Wight Islander, Paul Wilson. The woman who has provided compelling material evidence now reports subsequent encounters took place with the same being in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1989. Here Paul describes those encounters and reveals further information about the original encounter, which was reported to BUFORA in 1978 We also hear about her father's experiences, how they may relate to her encounters and much more.

“Careful back there…”   Generally speaking, an artist's DEBUT ALBUM will often be quite good, while their SOPHOMORE ALBUM, in contrast, will often be far more advanced, sophisticated, and light years better than the first, in terms of song writing and overall production. While this is more often than not the rule, there are some notable exceptions.   As with asking a parent with 2 kids “which one do you love more?”, sometimes the answer is obvious, and other times it's “not even close”. And in the instances where dissenting opinions clashed, the resulting debate may have impacted the feelings of others “forevermore”.   It's time to “go get your mom” and bear witness to some “Gonz Bozonders” as we discuss the blockbuster movie magic behind “Shark Week” and prepare to “show no Morrissey” with regard to “butt scissoring” when you JOIN US as we try to determine whether various metal artist's second albums are BETTER OR WORSE than their first.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast   Show Notes: (00:01): “23 lbs down, son…”/ “That's a heart healthy #origami diet…”/ #semiglutide / “Every time I come, you're like ‘that's fine'…” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / #RussellsTwanglifiedVocals / ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY FENG SHUI UNDERGROUND BUNKERPOON PODCAST!!!*** / “I'm getting feng shui'd with my Wang Chung…”/ #thisepisodesbeeroftheepisode / #ObiOneCanObi / “Oh it smells like green pee…”/ “The cover model on the upstairs magazine…”/ #starcrunch / #uhhhhkay   (06:00): ***PATREON SHOUT OUT!!!*** / ***COME AND JOIN US ON THE PATREON AT patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / “It's like two dudes butthole fucking each other…”/ #buttscissoring / ***EMAIL US AT metalnerdery@gmail.com and VOICEMAIL US AT 980-666-8182!!!*** / “It'll probably be out before this episode…the LAST episode…”/ “Don't choke on those nuts, bro…”/ “I'm fuckin' trippin' balls…”/ “You might wanna swallow first…”   (10:30): #RussellsReflectionsMovieEdition #Jaws / “That's not Snowflake…”/ #sharkweek / “Every month is shark week for women…”/ “Oh, you mean like the #moonlanding…”/ “BTW, who owned #MarthasVinyard?”/ “Without men, women would never be mothers…”/ #Duel #StevenSpielberg / #BJAndTheBear #EveryWhichWayButLoose #AnyWhichWayYouCan / “I'm telling you…go get your mom…” / “These guys are assholes…”/ #spoiler / “So anyway, that was Steven Spielberg's first attempt…”/ “So it's like #TheShining vs The Shining…”/ “That was his 4th movie (Jaws)…”/ “Sorry, had a couple of beers…(too many)”/ #swallowit / “I know this sounds weird, but…”/ #GonzBozonders / “I might have felt a little weird down there…”   (23:23): “I forget what we're doing…/ #TheDocket / METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  2ND ALBUMS THAT ARE BETTER (OR WORSE) THAN THE DEBUT ALBUMS / “They're not all gonna be equal…is it better or is it worse?” / “Okay, I'm gonna make this real easy to start…”/ “What?” / Hell Awaits vs Show No Mercy / “How about Shout At The Devil vs Too Fast For Love?” / “I am so lost…exactly…”   (29:43): “Kreator…how about Kreator?” / “Violent…what is it?” / “It's not that different…it's not as memorable…”/ “Put on your 1983 hat…Ride The Lightning (was not even out yet) …”/ “I was gonna say DirtBox…”/ Black Sabbath vs Paranoid / “If we're doing a #DeathMatch…”/ Van Halen or Van Halen II? / “This is effectively a Death Match between first and second albums…”/ #VanHalen YOU'RE NO GOOD (Van Halen II – 1979) / “Maybe Kerry King played bass on all the Van Halen albums…”   (38:28): “I do wanna go back to the #Slayer thing…”/ #titillation / “You like Show No Morrissey…”/ “Progressive?

Episode Overview Retailers recognize the need to transform, but most are missing the crucial first step. In this episode of Talk Retail to Me, Parker Avery's Dan Wittner joins Snowflake's Freddy Guard for a candid discussion about one of the most underestimated barriers to retail innovation: disconnected, messy, and misgoverned retail data. Whether it's launching AI initiatives, reshaping supply chains, or reimagining omnichannel experiences, true retail transformation begins with a solid data foundation. But legacy systems, siloed functions, and a lack of clear governance continue to block progress, even for Fortune 500 retailers. Dan and Freddy break down why transformation fails without clean, connected data and outline how progressive retailers are finally getting it right. From AI-enabled data cleanup to demand planning and inventory visibility, they share actionable steps for retailers ready to transform and realize meaningful, sustainable business results.   Featuring Dan Wittner – Chief Revenue Officer, The Parker Avery Group Freddy Guard – Industry Principal, Retail & Consumer Goods, Snowflake   Key Takeaways Transformation begins with data. No technology can deliver ROI without a clean, unified data foundation. Retail is at an inflection point. Channel complexity, evolving shopper behavior, and economic volatility demand better data visibility and governance. Data strategy must be a business strategy. Aligning IT and business objectives is crucial for driving meaningful change. Start small to scale fast. Break inertia by focusing on a high-impact use case, then use that momentum to drive enterprise-wide transformation. AI is no longer the barrier. With modern tools, data cleanup and governance are now finally scalable, enabling faster decision-making and smarter planning. Organizational change management is critical to successful transformation. Technology alone doesn't transform a business; people and culture do. Success requires vision and leadership. Winning retailers are pairing strategic roadmaps with empowered business champions to drive sustainable change. Episode Highlights Why retailers must rethink data as a transformation enabler, not just a technical asset The disconnect between AI hype and data reality How legacy thinking is holding back progress What meaningful change looks like, from inventory chaos to demand-driven agility Real-world case study: how a global grocer unlocked enterprise-wide transformation by modernizing data Why transformation efforts fail without business alignment and culture change How to build the right capabilities roadmap: assessment, strategy, and execution Related Content & Resources Video Replay on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/j7GJLoeOEmM   Parker Avery Retail Consulting Services https://parkeravery.com/retail-consulting/   Learn more about Snowflake http://www.snowflake.com/   Blog Post |  Optimizing Data Readiness for AI in Retail https://parkeravery.com/optimizing-data-readiness-for-ai-in-retail/   Talk Retail to Me Podcast | Winning with Data and Hyper-Localized Assortments https://parkeravery.com/winning-with-data-and-hyper-localized-assortments/   Insights | The Expert Guide to Data Governance in Retail https://parkeravery.com/data-governance-in-retail/   Case Study | New Strategy for Master Data Supports Core Merchandising Transformation https://parkeravery.com/industry-experience/new-strategy-for-master-data-supports-core-merchandising-transformation/

On this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, Carrie Liken (now with Snowflake) returns to the show to discuss the exceptionally rapidly evolving search landscape and Google's new AI Mode. Are websites dying as AI-powered search ascends in popularity? According to Carrie, it looks that way. She and host Justin Venneri discuss the transformative impact of AI on healthcare search and patient journeys. They explore how tools like Google's new AI Mode and ChatGPT are reshaping how consumers find healthcare information, reducing reliance on traditional websites. Carrie shares insights from her "mini research studies," highlighting the challenges and decisions healthcare organizations face in adapting to the new world.Highlights include:The Decline of Traditional Websites: AI Mode summarizes information directly on search results, reducing the need for users to visit websites and challenging healthcare organizations to rethink their content strategies.The Importance of Data Strategy: Carrie emphasizes that a robust data strategy is essential for organizations to succeed in an AI-driven world.The Role of AI in Patient Journeys: AI tools can guide patients through initial research and even help locate care providers, though booking appointments still requires human interaction.The Future of AI Agents in Healthcare: Carrie envisions AI agents automating tasks such as appointment scheduling and care coordination to significantly reduce friction in the healthcare system.Related Content & Reference MaterialsMaybe we should write an obituary for the website (3/20/25)AI Mode is the training ground for AI Overviews (and yes, websites are still dying) (6/7/25)AH070 - Inside Capital Rx's Acquisition of Amino Health: Creating the Health Benefits Platform of the Future, TodayFor more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Capital Rx Insights.

Artist, Gina McAdam kindly shares her memories of childhood companionship with the presence of fairies in her garden and more recently, right before Covid Lockdown, seeing a small "conker shaped", rodent-sized being who walked into her lounge on it's knuckles and reversed out backwards! In the full length (1.5 hour) version on Patreon we discuss the resistance Gina felt towards talking about her experiences and how that shifted for her during our chat. She shares the story of the female spirit of a previous owner who regularly visited Gina's family in their childhood home. We hear how Gina and her two sisters became familiar with Otherworld, despite having parents who were atheists, and how her Father's family may have been more familiar with these worlds. ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY GROUP ⭐️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠ If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like minded folks, access to the Discord channels and joining events with other members, join us at: https://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership S U P P O R T If you'd prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee' and I'd be very grateful

In this episode of the AI Leaders Podcast, Sen Ramani, Global Lead for Data and AI at Accenture, sits down with Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO of Snowflake, for a dynamic conversation on the evolving role of data and AI in enterprise transformation. Together, they dive into product innovation, the rise of agentic AI, and how businesses can unlock value through reliable, scalable AI solutions.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody sits down with Mark Boothe to explore how AI agents are reshaping the future of marketing. Mark brings candid insights from his tenure at Domo, diving into the transformative potential of agentic workflows, the necessity of AI readiness, and how marketers can navigate both disruption and opportunity.Mark shares practical advice on leveraging agents as "tireless teammates" for joyless, repetitive tasks, enhancing competitive intelligence, scaling content creation, and making smarter, faster decisions across go-to-market functions. He also reflects on challenges CMOs face today—from attribution complexity to shifting SEO dynamics—and explains why waiting to adopt AI is the riskiest move of all.This conversation is a must-listen for B2B marketers, CMOs, and business leaders looking to scale with purpose and intelligence in the age of autonomous agents.Key TakeawaysAI Agents Are Here—and You're Already Late  Mark emphasizes that CMOs can no longer afford to delay AI adoption. Organizations that do not actively experiment with agents risk falling irreparably behind in terms of go-to-market maturity and innovation.Tireless Teammates, Not Job Takers  AI agents are best positioned to automate the joyless, manual tasks humans hate. With proper training and data, they can deliver superhuman memory, adaptability, and task execution across industries.Data Readiness Is Make or Break  The phrase "garbage in, garbage out" rings true—Mark stresses that AI without structured, contextualized, and governed data is not just ineffective, but dangerous.Align AI with Enterprise Goals  AI efforts must be anchored in clear business priorities, not shiny objects. Mark warns against focusing solely on vanity metrics and stresses the importance of tying every initiative back to pipeline, revenue, and customer value.Don't Just Automate—Adapt  Traditional automation is static. AI agents enable adaptability—responding to market shifts, customer signals, and business changes in real-time with minimal human input.Quotes“AI agents should make you way smarter, faster, and more adaptable—if you're aligned with the right goals.”Resource recommendations⁠Jasper⁠ – For scalable content generation.⁠Domo⁠ – For real-time marketing analytics and agent orchestration.Resource recommendationsBooks:⁠How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie⁠ – Timeless lessons in people-first leadership.⁠Dare to Lead by Brené Brown⁠ – Currently being read by Mark's team book club for fostering courageous leadership.⁠Patrick Lencioni's books⁠ – Especially on team dynamics and healthy conflict.B2B Leaders to follow⁠Denise Persson⁠, CMO of Snowflake, for leading high-impact B2B marketing.About the GuestMark brings over 15 years of diverse marketing experience and is passionate about driving Domo's business growth through marketing initiatives.

Maor Shlomo is the founder of Base44, an AI-powered app builder that he bootstrapped to an over $80 million acquisition by Wix in just six months. As a solo founder (with severe ADHD), he hit $1 million ARR just three weeks after launch and grew the product to more than 400,000 users, all while navigating two wars in Israel and never raising a dollar of outside funding.What you'll learn:1. The growth playbook that took Base44 from three friends to 400,000 users without spending any money on marketing2. How he hasn't written a single line of front-end code in three months—and how to structure your code repository to make it easier for AI to write your code3.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down the latest growth rankings among the top 10 cloud providers, highlight Google Cloud's continued lead, and show how legacy giants like Oracle and SAP are rapidly transforming into cloud powerhouses.Highlights00:15 — I wanted to share with you the latest numbers for the Cloud Wars Growth Chart, where we take a look at the growth rates of the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies. Google Cloud holds on to the number one spot. But SAP and Oracle are breathing down Google Cloud's neck. Google Cloud grew in its most recent quarter by 28%, with revenue of $12.3 billion.00:51 — Tied for second place are these two so-called legacy companies. Both grew in their most recent quarters by 27%. SAP's cloud revenue is now $5.3 billion, Oracle's $6.7 billion. Next quarter, it is likely that Oracle could well be number one on this list. But that's all the future, and we will see how that goes.01:42 — In fourth place is Microsoft, 20% growth rate on $42.4 billion in revenue. ServiceNow grew 19% as it cracked $3 billion for the first time in a quarter. AWS, 17% — $29.3 billion. Similar to what we said about Microsoft: 17% growth rate on almost $30 billion in revenue is very impressive.03:00 — Workday, up almost 14%, to $2.1 billion. Salesforce at 8%, $9.8 billion. Snowflake, up 26% to $997 million. I'm not placing Snowflake within the regular run until its quarterly revenue exceeds $1 billion. It's extremely likely that next quarter, we'll see Snowflake take its place in the regular run of companies. IBM does not report its cloud revenue anymore. I hope IBM will change that policy.04:22 — It's fascinating to see a purely built-for-the-cloud company, Google Cloud, in the number one spot. And who's behind it? Two venerable companies — mostly still in the software business completely for SAP — but Oracle now, in addition to its fast-growing cloud software business, also has a hypergrowth cloud infrastructure business.
