Podcasts about using tech

Is your nonprofit run more like a passion project than a business? A former Silicon Valley CTO reveals why that mindset is costing you donations and limiting your impact. This isn't about choosing mission over money. It's about using smart business strategy to fuel that mission.On this episode of Hey Nonprofits, host Trevor Nelson sits down with Christa Stelzmuller, the Chief Technology Officer of Charity: Water. Christa shares how she applies powerful lessons from the for-profit world to the nonprofit sector. Learn how to think about your donors as consumers, why technology is not a cost center but your greatest tool for growth, and how simple changes in your fundraising approach can lead to incredible results. This conversation provides a clear roadmap for any nonprofit leader looking to increase their funding and make a bigger difference.

The global pet industry has long been riddled with problems. From low-welfare breeding practices to online scams, the darker side of pet rehoming often goes unchecked. But what if there was a way to combine animal protection with a sustainable, profitable business model? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Axel Lagercrantz, co-founder and CEO of Pet Media Group, the company behind platforms like Pets4Homes in the UK and Lancaster Puppies in the US. Axel shares the story of how two friends with backgrounds in finance and tech came together to rethink what ethical pet ownership and commerce should look like. Since 2018, PMG has been working to remove anonymity and reduce fraud across pet marketplaces by embedding ethical standards directly into their platform's infrastructure. We explore how PMG uses custom-built AI to scan tens of thousands of images every day for signs of mistreatment, as well as to flag suspicious documentation and chat messages. Axel explains why ID verification, device fingerprinting, and real-time fraud detection are essential to maintaining user trust, especially in a high-emotion, high-value market like pets. He also talks through the company's expansion model, which focuses on acquiring local leaders and embedding PMG's standards from the ground up. With operations now spanning six countries and a 50 percent EBITDA margin, PMG's approach proves that protecting animals and scaling a business are not mutually exclusive goals. What stands out most is Axel's clarity of purpose. PMG isn't trying to digitize pet sales for convenience alone. The mission is to create a global infrastructure that prioritizes the welfare of animals and builds lasting trust between buyers and responsible breeders. If you care about technology that delivers real-world impact, this conversation will change how you think about one of the most overlooked parts of the digital economy.

When it comes to managing safety at large-scale events, most people think of stewards, barriers, and emergency plans. But behind the scenes, there's a growing role for technology - and one Irish company is leading the charge. Safe Events Global, led by Strategic Director Mark Breen, has quietly built a reputation as an international leader in crowd and event safety - and much of that success is down to the tech they've built in-house. Mark Breen said, "we couldn't find a tech or software platform that really supported what we do as a specialist crowd and event safety company, so we built our own." What began as a bespoke system to streamline internal operations has since evolved into a robust suite of digital tools that now supports clients around the world. With a dedicated six-person Digital Operations Department, Safe Events Global isn't just bolting on tech - they're building it into their DNA. The company's proprietary systems manage everything from live crowd monitoring to risk assessments and communication protocols. "It started as something just for us," says Breen, "but we've iterated and improved it over time. Now we provide similar systems to international clients who face the same complex challenges we do." But Safe Events Global's ambitions go beyond technology for tech's sake. The company's vision is rooted in the belief that the best safety outcomes come from the right people, using the right tools. "Our core pillars are people + process," says Breen. "We integrate the best digital tools and technology to enable skilled safety professionals to be as effective as possible." This people-first approach also extends into training and education. Recognising a gap in formal qualifications for those working in crowd safety, Safe Events Global developed a Professional Diploma in Risk and Safety Management for Crowds and Events, accredited by a UK university. Now, they're working with an Irish university to launch a range of micro-credentials in key safety areas, with a view to creating a 'stackable' qualification path - a major leap forward for an industry where hands-on experience traditionally trumps formal education. "We want to professionalise this space," Breen says. "Ultimately, that means creating a third-level pathway for people who are responsible for the safety of hundreds of thousands of people. We see that as part of our long-term impact." On the ground, Safe Events Global is deeply involved in both local and international events - from music festivals to sporting fixtures - using tech to complement what Breen calls the "art and science" of safety. "There's a danger in adopting too much tech, too fast," he warns. "You still need experienced people who can read a crowd, react quickly, and make calls that an algorithm can't. Tech should support, not replace, that." As events become larger and more complex, and safety becomes ever more scrutinised, Safe Events Global is positioning itself not just as a supplier, but as a thought leader in the space - combining Irish innovation, hands-on expertise, and a future-facing approach to technology. For Mark Breen and his team, the mission is clear: safer events through smarter systems, better-trained people, and thoughtful use of technology - always with humanity at the core. Find out more about Safe Events Global at www.safeevents.ie An Irish Tech News podcast with Mark Breen will be published tomorrow. See more stories here.

Recent studies have confirmed that the constant presence and use of tech in our lives have become a hazard to our well-being on multiple levels.  Meditation teacher, mindful tech designer, and self-identified tech lover Jay Vidyarthi observes, “It's okay to enjoy technology. Tech becomes a problem when we get so attached to it that our lives fall out of balance—and this happens because a certain device or app or game or even your work email might satisfy a specific, lacking, healthy emotional need.” So how do we mindfully hold that tension and seek balance in our relationship to technology?  In today's meditation, Jay leads us through a contemplative practice that can help us dig down and understand our motivations for using tech, while also identifying ways to be more intentional about the why, how, and when of our digital consumption.  If you'd like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.  Curious about the many benefits of being a member?

Harrison also serves as a Survivor Consultant for the End-OSEAC Survivors Council, where he helps develop trauma-informed and survivor-led legislation to combat online exploitation and digital harms.  His work and lived experiences have created an appreciation for formative practices, especially what he calls “digital intentionalism.” After a year and a half of navigating life with a "dumb phone," he developed this concept for everyday people to help create space for what truly matters in a book he is authoring called: “The Moments Between Moments”. In his free time, Harrison leads a vibrant and diverse “life group” dedicated to helping students and friends find peace in an intentional, spiritual life.  This episode is sponsored by Bark Technologies: Learn about the Bark Phone Learn about the Bark App for iPhones and Androids  *Use code SCROLLING2DEATH FOR 10% OFF Learn about the Bark Watch

In this episode of Stronger Sales Teams, host Ben Wright engages with Mike Latch to explore the complexities involved in establishing an effective sales process and the role of technology in business scaling. Emphasising the importance of integrating a structured sales process with technology, Mike presents straightforward strategies that are accessible for businesses of all sizes. The conversation underscores the significance of onboarding programmes, scalable processes, and the strategic utilisation of technological solutions to bolster performance rather than impede it. Drawing from his extensive technical expertise, Mike offers practical guidance on managing sales teams, illustrating how well-defined sales processes can transform even large sales teams into efficient, revenue-generating entities without sacrificing quality.About the Guest:Mike Latch is the CEO and co-founder of Patter AI, an innovative sales enablement technology firm located in the United States. With more than 20 years of experience in both technical and sales domains, Mike possesses a diverse background that includes electrical engineering, physics, and strategic sales. His distinctive combination of skills was instrumental in scaling his previous venture from $50 million to over $1 billion in revenue, culminating in its acquisition by ADT. Furthermore, Mike is a co-author of the book titled “Sales Sucks”. https://www.salessucksbook.com/ Key Takeaways: A small sales team should focus on hiring skilled individuals, while a larger sales force requires robust processes to ensure consistency and scalability. Technology integration should focus on solving specific problems or seizing opportunities rather than simply implementing tools without clear purposes. Clear, well-crafted onboarding programs and well-defined sales processes can dramatically reduce onboarding times and improve overall sales team performance. Mike emphasises the power of consultative sales processes that leverage storytelling to help customers better understand and engage with offerings. Strategic use of tech in sales calls can enable average sales reps to effectively handle complex objections and close more deals.

Last week, Aya Contigo, its digital companion for abortion and contraception support that launched in Venezuela and has since expanded to the United States, was a winner of South by Southwest's Innovation Showcase. Dr. Roopan Gill, co-founder and CEO of Vitala Global Foundation, was in Austin, Texas, to talk about the role technology can play in providing more accessible reproductive health resources, especially amidst growing restrictions on reproductive rights. “It's not just an app providing passive information,” she said. “We're really trying to see how it acts as a glue, as an ecosystem integrator, especially in this day and age where we have so much complexity around abortion access.” Gill spoke with Devex for Devex @ SXSW, a special edition of our This Week in Global Development podcast. The episode also featured Jarone Lee, co-founder of Health Tech Without Borders, a nonprofit organization working on digital health solutions, including telemedicine and chatbots, in the context of humanitarian disasters.

With global waste projected to rise 70% by 2050, we're facing a trash avalanche of epic proportions. So how do we stop our cities from being buried in waste? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart On this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian digs deep with pioneering waste data expert Electra Coutsoftides, CEO of waste solutions firm X Works, on how data analytics can help propel cities toward a zero-waste future. They explore the overlooked world of global waste trading, where recyclables and waste commodities are imported and exported on a massive scale that will shock you. Electra explains how the EU is demanding digital passports to track waste origins and destinations. X Works provides software to meet these emerging regulations. Their platform also uses AI to analyze images of waste and identify mismatches between claimed and actual materials. This mitigates illegal dumping by verifying credibility along the supply chain. A key threat they are combatting is waste trading scams that cost companies huge sums of money. Scammers promise access to waste materials in exchange for large upfront deposits, then disappear with the cash. X Works certification and verification protects traders. This transparency and accountability will be crucial for managing the waste crisis ahead. Looking locally, Electra discusses X Works partnerships with US logistics firms to bring their waste-tracking solutions stateside. With Brian's firsthand view of overflowing trash in the streets of Philadelphia, it is clear smart waste policies are needed to avoid drowning in our own waste. X Works offers a technology-driven path ahead through the trash pileup projected in our collective future. Tune into this eye-opening discussion to learn about the overlooked world of global waste trading and hi-tech solutions that could just dig our cities out of projected trash overload! ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!
