In this episode, Tina Tower takes listeners behind the scenes at South by Southwest (SXSW), her favorite tech conference. Having attended eight times, Tina shares her biggest takeaways, standout sessions, and key emerging tech trends—all with her signature candor and enthusiasm. This episode dives deep into AI trends, the loneliness epidemic, balancing technology and human connection, the environmental impact of AI, cybersecurity, and so much more. If you're keen to stay on the cutting edge of tech but also crave a more connected, fulfilling life, this one's for you. Key Takeaways: SXSW Overview: SXSW combines tech, music, and film; Tina focused on the tech track. It's a hub for learning, inspiration, and connecting with like-minded change makers. AI Everywhere: AI dominated the conference, but Tina questions whether mainstream desire matches tech-world hype. Small language models are emerging as more eco-friendly than large ones like GPT-4. AI agents, avatars, and robo-taxis are evolving fast—commercial fast-learning robots may be here by 2030. Human Connection & Loneliness: Keynote by Kasli Kalam emphasized the "loneliness epidemic." Her "5-3-1 Game": Connect with 5 people weekly, maintain 3 close relationships, and have 1 hour of quality interaction daily. Even introverts need meaningful connection, though the ideal amount varies. AI, Tech & Health: The paradox of embracing convenience tools while ensuring they support—not replace—human connection and mental health. Future health may involve mindset coaches as common as personal trainers. Ethics & Future Threats: A growing divide: people embracing vs. avoiding advanced tech (think brain chips and body-embedded sensors). Issues around trust in information and the growing need for credible journalism. Cybersecurity: Meredith Whitaker from Signal warned about privacy risks as AI agents start connecting all your personal information. Tips: Enable end-to-end encryption, especially for sensitive accounts like iCloud. Wonder & Curiosity: Beyond tech, nurture your community, stay curious, and deliberately step out of your echo chamber. The Need for Balance: Leverage AI for productivity, but use the gained time for real connection and human experiences. Draw boundaries with tech—seek more “off time” for happiness and well-being.   Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just trying to make sense of the digital world we're living in, this episode offers a grounded perspective with heart. Tune in to feel inspired, informed, and reminded that the future is human—tech is just the tool.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Constantine Yurevich, CEO and Co-Founder at SegmentStream. Summary: Multi-touch attribution is a beautifully crafted illusion we all pretend to believe in while knowing deep down it's flawed. The work is mysterious, but is it important? The big ad platforms sell us sophisticated solutions they don't even trust for their own internal decisions. Is it time we accept marketing causation is a thing we can't measure? Visitor behavior scoring is a really interesting alternative or extra ingredient to consider. Often thought of as a tool for lead management to help prioritize your SDR's time, the team at SegmentStream started using the same scoring methodology, but with an attribution application. Enter synthetic conversions. Instead of just tracking conversions, track meaningful visits like  time spent, pages explored, comparisons made. This allows you to connect upper-funnel campaigns to real behavior patterns rather than just looking at who converted in a single session. About Constantine/SegmentStreamSegmentStream was founded in 2018 in LondonFeb 2022 raised a first funding round of 2.7MSegmentStream is now trusted by more than 100 leading customers across the globe including L'Oreal, KitchenAid, Synthesia, Carshop, InstaHeadShots, and many othersThe Messy Truth About B2B vs B2C Attribution ModelsPrice tags and decision timeframes obliterate the B2B/B2C attribution divide faster than most marketers realize. Constantine shatters conventional wisdom by showing how his team leverages their own attribution tools to measure website engagement because enterprise software purchases rarely follow predictable patterns. "Trusting last click is impossible," he explains, "because it takes too much time before conversion happens."You've likely noticed this pattern in your own marketing stack. A $2,000 direct-to-consumer exercise bike creates the same multi-touch, 60-day consideration journey as many supposedly "straightforward" B2B software purchases. Meanwhile, those $30/month SaaS tools targeting small businesses convert with the immediacy of consumer products. Constantine points out how this pricing reality creates measurement challenges that transcend business categories:High-ticket B2C products demand extended 30-60 day consideration windows SMB-focused B2B subscriptions ($20-30/month) behave like impulse purchasesEnterprise B2B sales cycles stretch beyond a year with critical offline componentsThe offline measurement void plagues marketers everywhere. Constantine admits many of his most valuable marketing activities resist quantification. "I write a lot of LinkedIn posts, newsletters, we do podcasts. Some of these activities are very hard to measure unless you explicitly ask someone, 'How did you hear about us?'" Your gut tightens reading this because you've felt this same tension between attribution models and marketing reality.Scale transforms your attribution approach more dramatically than business classification ever could. Small operations handling 100 monthly leads can simply ask each prospect about their discovery journey. Large enterprises processing thousands of conversions require sophisticated multi-touch models regardless of whether they sell to businesses or consumers. Constantine explains this convergence clearly: "When we talk about larger B2B businesses with thousands of leads and purchases, it becomes more similar to B2C with a long sales cycle plus an offline component."The unmeasurable brand-building activities require a leap of faith that makes data-driven marketers squirm. Constantine embraces this uncertainty with refreshing honesty: "When you post on LinkedIn, build your personal brand, share content—that's really hard to measure and I don't even want to go there." His team focuses on delivering value through content, trusting that results will materialize. "You just share your content and eventually you see how it plays off." This pragmatic acceptance of attribution limitations feels like cool water in the desert of measurement obsession.Key takeaway: Match your attribution model to purchase complexity rather than business category. Implement multi-touch attribution with lead scoring for high-consideration purchases across both B2B and B2C, while accepting that valuable brand-building work often exists beyond the reach of your measurement tools.Why Marketing Attribution Still Matters Despite Its FlawsAttribution chaos continues to haunt marketers drowning in competing methodologies and high-priced solutions. Constantine blasts through the measurement fog with brutal practicality when tackling the Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) debate. While many have written MTA's obituary due to its diminishing visibility into customer journeys, his take might surprise you.The attribution landscape brims with alternatives that look impressive in PowerPoint presentations but crumble under real business conditions:Geo holdout testing sounds brilliant: Turn off ads in half your markets, keep them running in others, measure the difference. Simple! Except it'll cost you millions in lost revenue during testing. Constantine points out the brutal math: "For some businesses, this is like losing 1 million, $2 million during the test. Would you be willing to run a test that's gonna cost you $1 million?" These tests require a minimum 5% revenue contribution from the channel to even register effects, making them impractical for anything but your biggest channels.MMM promises statistical rigor: But demands absurd amounts of data covering everything from your competitors' moves to presidential elections and global conflicts. Good luck collecting that comprehensive dataset spanning 2-3 years, then validating whether the TV attribution your fancy model spits out actually reflects reality.> "Mathematically, everything works fine, but when you apply it in reality, there is no way to test it. You just see some numbers and there is no way to test it."For scrappy D2C brands, SaaS startups, and lead gen businesses, Constantine argues MTA still delivers more practical value than its supposedly superior alternatives. You won't achieve perfect attribution, but you can compare campaigns at the same funnel stage against each other. Your lower-funnel campaigns can be measured against other lower-funnel efforts. Mid-funnel initiatives can compete with similar tactics.Constantine drops a bombshell observation that should make you question the industry's MMM evangelism: "If Google and Facebook so willingly open-source different MMM technologies and they really believe in this technology, why wouldn't they implement it into their own product?" These data behemoths with unparalleled user visibility still rely on variations of touch-based attribution internally. Something doesn't add up.Key takeaway: Stop chasing perfect attribution unicorns. MTA delivers practical campaign comparisons within funnel stages despite its flaws. For most businesses, sophisticated alternatives cost more than they're worth in lost revenue during testing or impossible data requirements. Compare apples to apples (lower-funnel to lower-funnel campaigns) with MTA, test different creatives, and focus on relative performance improvement. The big platforms themselves don't fully trust their publicly promoted alternatives - why should you bet your marketing budget on them?Simplified MMM is a Measurement Fantasy You're Being SoldMarketing Mix Modeling has roared back into fashion as third-party cookies crumble and marketers scramble for measurement alternatives. Constantine cuts through the hype with brutal clarity. Traditional MMM demands...

Is generative AI over-valued? At the heart of the generative AI boom has been the premise that a ‘killer app' for AI will make investors a return on their capital. But it's unclear how those use cases will actually make money for businesses that deploy them. Plus - is the problem a lack of AI take-up among employees? We hear from Jim Covello, head of global equity research at Goldman Sachs and George Lee, co-head of the Goldman Sachs Global Institute for a debate about the investment case for AI; Victor Riparbelli, chief executive of AI video start-up Synthesia, Amjad Masad, chief executive of coding start-up Replit, and Claudia Harris, chief executive at tech training company Makers.Free to read:UK artificial intelligence start-up Synthesia hits $2bn valuationAI-powered coding pulls in almost $1bn of funding to claim ‘killer app' statusThis season of Tech Tonic is presented by Madhumita Murgia, and produced by Josh Gabert-Doyon.

Victor Riparbelli is the CEO and Co-founder of Synthesia, the world's leading AI video communications platform for enterprises. To date, Victor has raised over $250M from Accel, GV, NEA, and more. More than 1,000,000 users and 55,000 businesses, including 60% of the Fortune 100, use it to communicate efficiently and share knowledge at scale using AI avatars.  In Today's Episode with Victor Riperbelli: 1. The Future of Models: Are we seeing the commoditisation of models?  Will scaling laws continue to prove out?  How far into the application layer will model providers go? Will we see a world of few large generalist models or many fragmented smaller models? X.ai, Anthropic, or OpenAI? Which would Victor most want to invest in and why? 2. The Future of Content:  What will the future of content look like? In 5 years time will we have more AI or human made content? What will be the future of distribution for content? Why is TikTok the future for content distribution? How does Victor think about the future of identity verification? What is the right approach? What does everyone think will happen in the future with content that will never happen? 3. Startup Rules That are BS: Why does Victor believe it is total BS to say you have to be the first to a market? Why does Victor believe the speed of execution religion is BS? Why does Victor believe that London and Europe is a great place to start a startup? Does Victor believe Americans work harder than Europeans? Why does Victor believe Europeans are more loyal to their companies?  

As AI technology advances, it's becoming harder and harder to distinguish between work done by humans and work done by computers. But is AI becoming more human, or are we becoming more digital? Synthesia is a video platform that uses AI to generate lifelike video avatars, further blurring the lines between humans and their digitized lookalikes. In this episode, Bilawal sits down with Synthesia's CEO, Victor Riparbelli, to discuss the benefits of having your own AI avatar, how companies are using this tool to improve communication, and why media literacy is more important than ever in a world of ever-thinning lines between real and fake. They dissect the risks that come with making this technology available to the public, the strict rules Synthesia has in place to protect their users, and question the ethics of having a digital clone. Tune in to see if you'll be sending your own AI avatar to your boring meetings in the near future.For transcripts for The TED AI Show, visit go.ted.com/TTAIS-transcripts Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Sam Mollaei, Esq. and Neil Tyra, Esq. uncover hidden hiring pitfalls that may be costing your firm millions. They share insights from their experiences running successful law practices, offering stories and strategies for both new and seasoned firm owners. Poor hiring decisions can derail your business. Tune in to discover actionable steps to enhance your team's performance and culture. Key Takeaways from Sam and Neil:1. Hiring Talkers Instead of DoersPrioritizing candidates for their communication skills over execution ability leads to poor performance.Use behavioral questions and trial projects to identify doers, especially for management or operational roles.2. Hiring for Skills, Not Cultural FitA strong resume is irrelevant if the candidate disrupts team dynamics.Focus on hiring individuals who align with the company culture to enhance long-term productivity and engagement.3. Overvaluing Credentials Over Practical SkillsImpressive qualifications don't ensure practical skills.Favor candidates with hands-on experience who can tackle real-world challenges, especially in small law firms where adaptability is vital.4. Failing to Define the Role ClearlyUnclear job roles create confusion and inefficiency.Clearly outline responsibilities, KPIs, and expectations to help new hires understand their role and take ownership.5. Not Setting Up a Proper Onboarding ProcessPoor onboarding can lead to disengagement and decreased productivity.Create a structured onboarding plan with specific goals and a timeline to align new hires with firm objectives.6. Bonus: Not Tracking Performance Metrics from Day OneWithout clear performance metrics, assessing a hire's contribution is challenging. Establish measurable goals and conduct regular reviews to ensure alignment and support growth. "If you happen to be a talker, then you're more likely to need a doer. And if you're a doer, then you might potentially want to surround yourself with a couple of talkers." — Sam Mollaei"It doesn't matter if the person is the greatest thing since sliced cheese. If they're a pain in the backside to work with, they're going to alienate everybody in the office and all your clients around you." — Neil TyraReferences from the episode:Scribe- https://scribehow.com/Synthesia- https://www.synthesia.io/

In this episode, we explore the role of AI in customer experiences and whether it will replace human interaction. Ali Cudby, CEO of Alignment Growth Strategies, shares insights on leveraging AI to build customer relationships effectively. We discuss practical AI tools that enhance customer experiences and streamline efficiency.  There are a couple of helpful AI tools Cudby mentions. For example, Synthesia generates AI voiceovers for video scripts, making updates easy and translating content for global audiences. Also, Absorb uses AI to create prompts-based presentations, reducing time and effort. Cudby describes how these tools allow for more accurate customer communication while freeing up time for personalized interactions where it matters most. Cudby (alicudby, Alignment Growth Strategies), the author of Keep Your Customers, emphasizes that while AI is a valuable tool, it cannot replace genuine, personalized experiences delivered by empathetic humans. Customers must feel seen, heard, and valued to build trust and loyalty.  The episode also highlights the importance of context in customer experiences and how AI can assist without overshadowing human value. We also touch on the potential risks of AI, such as the creation of fake videos, and the importance of verifying authenticity, especially during critical times like elections. Schema matching helps us identify inconsistencies in AI-generated content, ensuring we make better judgments. The discussion includes the concept of Blue Ocean Strategy, which advises focusing efforts on what drives the most value for customers. By maximizing resources in areas that matter most, businesses can avoid spreading themselves too thin and achieve greatness. In this episode, we also discuss: The significance of AI tools in customer education and training. The balance between AI efficiency and human empathy in customer interactions. The impact of AI on content accuracy and time management. Real-life examples of AI and human synergy in customer service. The role of schema matching in identifying AI-generated fakes. Strategies for optimizing customer experiences using the Blue Ocean concept. The importance of context in understanding customer emotions and needs. How to determine the value AI brings to your customer experience efforts. The potential pitfalls of over-relying on AI in areas where human touch is crucial.  

Intercom's Senior Director of Human Support Bobby Stapleton and VP of Customer Support Declan Ivory discuss the different strategies for getting buy-in from your execs when adopting AI-first customer service. We also hear the experiences of Constantina Samara, Head of Support at Synthesia, and Pat Barlow, Support Lead at Dovetail.Watch this episode on YouTube:
