Today’s guest is Neil Sahota, an IBM Master Inventor, United Nations A.I. Advisor, professor at UC Irvine, and globally-recognized speaker and author. Neil is a founding member of the UN’s Artificial Intelligence for Social Good Committee, and he’s here to talk about how we can harness the power of AI and use it for social good. Neil is also the author of “Own the A.I.Revolution”, providing a future-forward look at A.I., focusing on how businesses can use it to commercialize while doing good in the world. We’ll discuss things like the challenges posed by A.I. and how we can overcome them, as well as which skill-sets are going to be most important in the near future.    In our interview, I was amazed by how A.I. can help our businesses, lives, and water infrastructure worldwide. Data allows us to make better decisions. We make better decisions when we have better data. When we don’t have data, we’re not making decisions; we’re making guesses.

It’s a double win!” - Neil Sahota  “Changing the culture takes time and a lot of effort, but it is well worth it.” - Neil Sahota  Data allows us to make better decisions. We make better decisions when we have better data. When we don’t have data, we’re not making decisions; we’re making guesses. So how good are your guesses?”- Trace Blackmore  “We need other people to help us get better.” - Trace Blackmore  “You never know how far the ripples will reach.” - Trace Blackmore  “Until next week, try something new, try to learn something new, and do something new; and be the reason that somebody cracks a smile.” - Trace Blackmore    Links Mentioned:  Neil Sahota’s website  Neil’s LinkedIn The United Nations A.I. for Good Initiative Episode 168 with Jared Gabel  Scaling Up Business Webinar Series Rising Tide Mastermind    Events:  Texas 2021 Virtual Convention March 29-April 1  The Hang online networking event April 8 at 6 pm EST    Books Mentioned:  Neil’s book “Own the A.I.

This week, in the latest of our life stories podcast, I’m interviewing Neil Henderson, group director of global media and financial communications at Zurich Insurance Group.Neil is based in Switzerland.Previously, he has was head of media, content and partnerships at Which?, director of communications at Mastercard, executive director at Golin and head of media and broadcast at Red.Before this, he was a journalist with Sky, ITN and the BBC.[00:01:03] How Neil has managed his career so that he has been able to work in a broad range of sectors rather than specialise in one. [00:01:58] How for Neil, as a journalist turned PR guy, his career has always been "a bit like working a newsroom". [00:07:01] Why Neil wishes he'd stayed at Red and Golin longer than he did. [00:08:17] Whether PR people still under-prioritise the broadcast media. [00:12:38] How one of Neil's clients wanted him to get a urinal story on the Today programme. [00:13:08] Why do PR people not tell clients who have ridiculous requests to piss off?[00:16:59] Why it was Neil's time at Red that made him into a PR guy. [00:19:06] Why Neil believes that journalists continue to think that PR people are stupid. [00:20:35] Why it doesn't work out for 50% of the journalists that move into PR. [00:20:50] How media relations is only about 40% of most PR jobs these days. [00:21:47] Why you can learn more at a lunch with someone than at any other time. [00:22:20] How Neil is amazed that some agencies continue to open an Excel spreadsheet send a press release to 130 people. [00:23:28] Why senior journos calling out young PROs on Facebook for poor practice isn't a good look. [00:27:02] Why Neil’s time at Which? was his dream job. [00:29:42] Having made the move in-house - does Neil believe he'll ever move back agency side? [00:29:49] Why working in-house means that you basically have a variety of clients in the form of internal stakeholders. [00:32:46] How has it been for Neil moving his family to Switzerland? [00:34:09] How German and Swiss journalists allow PR people to make changes to the copy. [00:35:50] How as a Brit working in Switzerland it's embarrassing for Neil to talk about how badly Brexit is going to his German and Swiss friends. [00:39:04] Why Neil believes that even if there were a second referendum and the UK stayed in Europe, to a large extend the damage has been done. [00:40:37] When Neil is buying PR - what does he look for? [00:42:28] How sometimes you could put pitch documents together in a row on a table from seven agencies who pitched and if you took the names away you probably couldn't tell the difference between between some of the ideas. [00:43:23] Why Neil believes PR people even now have an obsession with print. [00:44:18] Why Neil believes agencies are still missing a trick with radio. [00:45:40] Why Neil believes PR in London is in such a good place.

[00:50:13] Whether the PR sector is more susceptible to mental health issues than some other sectors. [00:52:03] Why PR businesses don't say no enough. [00:52:08] Why PR firms don't challenge nasty clients enough.

This is a show about parenting, featuring not only one of my all-time favorite authors but also one of the best parents I’ve ever watched in action. When he wants to learn about, or write about something meaningful to him, he becomes quite literally obsessed, and at this stage in his life, it’s all about becoming the best father he can possibly be. Neil Strauss’s books are not only educational, hilarious, emotionally touching, but also quite addictive. Over the many years I’ve been reading them, they’ve made me laugh, cry, and change my life for the better – and no matter what he writes about, I can’t put his books down until I’ve greedily inhaled every single word. Neil co-wrote some of the best biographies of our time, but he’s best known for The Game, which follows his journey infiltrating the pickup artist subculture and learning how to be one. This segued into teaching other guys pickup artistry, which had its ups and its downs, ultimately culminating in a sequel of sorts called The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships. At the time, The Truth seemed like a conclusive end to Neil’s hero’s journey, in which he lost his love and then won it back. But now, a few years later, we can see that the story isn’t over. Our complex relationships with relationships can’t be neatly wrapped up in a Campbellian journey, and this is a truth that I think we all come to realize eventually. So today, Neil shares what this next step of his journey looks like: the end of a marriage, the beginning of a non-romantic relationship with the mother of his child, the new paradigm of conscious parenting, and dating while he navigates the complexities of it all. Since Neil has yet to write a book on parenting, I was thrilled to be able to sit down and have him share all he has learned so far about being the best dad he can be.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why the key to changing the world is healthy parenting Maintaining a great relationship with the other parent of your child, even when the romantic relationships ends A big myth about relationships Why “staying together for the kids” is a backwards plan that doesn’t produce healthy, loving role models Developing a mature relationship with monogamy How The Truth changed Luke’s life A sure way to kill any romantic relationship: turning your partner into a parent The mistakes that most parents make – and the ones that we can avoid The moment Neil learned that he was going to have a kid (also the first time he ever hoped a pregnancy test would come back positive) The books and experts that have taught Neil the most about parenting Why Neil keeps a diary for his son How a parent can create boundaries and not get enmeshed with their child, while still being loving and intimate with them You’re not always going to be your kid’s friend – and that’s okay! How to avoid teaching your children to medicate their emotions The Continuum Concept & parenting The roles that people take on in dysfunctional families Why conscious parenting is the most important thing you can do in your life Neil’s new podcast, To Live and Die in LA, about the disappearance of aspiring actress Adea Shabani   More about this episode.

This week on The PRmoment podcast I’m catching up with Neil Hedges, founder and partner at communications firm Headland. Neil has worked in the UK PR scene for nearly 40 years – so he knows his way around. Before setting up Headland, Neil was one of the founders of Fishburn Hedges – arguably UK PR’s pre-eminent PR shop of the 1990s and most of the noughties.

But in the end, its run of revenue growth came to a sharp halt. Neil tells us why 25 mins How agencies have their periods of ascendancy and tend to plateau 25.40 Neil tells us why he decided to try and do it all again and launch Headland 28.20 and 31.10 Why very few publicly owned PR firms have a financial PR offer 30.05 Why Neil chose a partnership model for Headland 32.15 Why Neil has ambitions for Headland’s partnership to last many generations 33.40 Why Neil’s long-term business relationship with Dan Mines has lasted so long 38.30 Why PR businesses, in the end, suffer if they are managed by practitioners 40 mins How Headland has grown so rapidly in the last three years 42.15 Why Headland runs a graduate scheme 48.15
