Episode 369 | Stop Renting Your Customer Relationship: The Case for Owning Last-Mile Delivery

In this episode of Millennium Live, Jake Stein, VP of Retail Growth at Burq, joins the podcast to discuss why last-mile delivery has become one of retail's most important competitive advantages. Jake has spent more than two decades helping some of the world's most influential technology companies scale growth, operations, and customer experience. From past experiences at Expedia's travel marketplace to Uber's global logistics network, Jake has built a career at the intersection of technology, commerce, and operational excellence. He shares lessons from building delivery infrastructure at Uber Direct, explains why retailers are increasingly reclaiming ownership of the customer experience, and explores how modern delivery orchestration is transforming everything from beauty and home improvement to time-sensitive B2B parts fulfillment. Jake also dives into Burq's AI-powered orchestration platform, Pulse AI, and how intelligent dispatching, real-time exception management, and proactive customer communication are helping retailers improve reliability without simply adding more delivery capacity. Jake offers his perspective on the future of retail logistics, why reliability is emerging as a stronger loyalty driver than speed, and what retail leaders need to understand as the industry shifts from carrier expansion to AI, data, and orchestration. More about Jake and Burq: Jake Stein is VP of Retail Growth at Burq, where he leads enterprise expansion across retail and distribution. He joined Burq from Uber Direct, where he ran Retail across the U.S. and Canada, partnering with national retailers to embed delivery directly into their native ecommerce experiences.

Episode 368 | Purpose Through Perspective: A Journey From Patient to Healthcare Builder

n this episode of Millennium Live, resilience, perspective, leadership, and the human side of healthcare remind us that the best care goes far beyond treatment alone. Beau Barron, SVP of Growth at STAT Wellness, joined the podcast to share a deeply personal journey through healthcare - navigating cancer treatment as an osteosarcoma survivor, and now helping scale a patient centered wellness company nationwide. Beau walks us through how his early experiences, serving as a firefighter and EMT shaped his understanding of compassion in care, and why his time scaling access at ViewFi Health reinforced the importance of reducing friction for patients. Beau opens up about his diagnosis, undergoing surgery and chemotherapy, the role STAT Wellness played in supporting him during recovery, and why relationship driven, personalized healthcare has become central to his mission today. Beau's story on Millennium Live is a great example of leadership & discovery, and a testament to how his own experiences fundamentally changed his perspective on what people truly need from the healthcare system today.Hosted on Ausha.

Episode 367 | The Limitless CMO: Rebuilding Marketing to Scale Impact in the Age of AI

In this #MillenniumLive conversation, Lisa Cole of 2X joins The Millennium Alliance to discuss the operating-model shift modern CMOs need to make as expectations accelerate and traditional resource models break down. Drawing from The Limitless CMO, Lisa will unpack why marketing leaders are being asked to deliver more pipeline, more personalization, more speed, and more AI-enabled efficiency - often without the budget or headcount to match.The episode will focus on how CMOs can move from order-taking to market-making by running marketing like a business, redesigning work around outcomes instead of org charts, using strategic outsourcing to expand capability, and applying AI as a force multiplier rather than a collection of disconnected tools.Key Themes:The marketing resource paradox: rising expectations with constrained budgets and headcountMoving from order-taking to market-makingMAPS: running marketing like a professional services businessStrategic outsourcing as capability expansion, not cost reductionAI as a force multiplier - and why random acts of AI are not enoughBuilding a Limitless Operating Model with people, partners, platforms, and AIHosted on Ausha.

In a world where organizations are drowning in fragmented AI tools, expensive pilots, legacy software, retrofitted language models, and unclear ROI, TheNoah.ai says there’s a radically different way forward — one that is full-stack, zero-code, pre-trained, vertically ready from day one, powered by thousands of AI agents, and designed to dramatically reduce costs, deployment time, manpower dependency, compute requirements, and even energy consumption.

Episode 363 | The AI Pivot: Re-Architecting for Token Economics and the Road to 2027

For decades, enterprise IT was built around predictable models: seat-based SaaS, fixed licensing, and relatively stable consumption patterns. But today, we’re entering a world driven by tokens, inference costs, and dynamic AI workloads—where every query, every model call, and every decision has a price tag attached to it. We’re joined by Jason Langone, Senior Director of Global AI Business Development at Nutanix—a leader at the forefront of helping enterprises navigate one of the most profound shifts in modern IT: the transition from buying software, to buying intelligence.In this episode, Jason shares insight into the real-world challenges enterprise leaders are facing right now: - How to strategically shift AI workloads away from expensive foundational models and toward open-source and small language models—without disrupting developer velocity - Why the orchestration layer—the “Enterprise Harness”—may matter more than the model itself, and how that changes long-term investment strategy - How to manage the rise of “Shadow AI” while still enabling innovation across the business - What governance, sovereignty, and accountability actually look like in hybrid, multi-cloud environments - And why “Day 2” operations—scaling, securing, and maintaining AI systems—may be the biggest blind spot for organizations today Jason also unpacks how CIOs are balancing multicloud complexity, avoiding vendor lock-in, and modernizing infrastructure—while still moving fast enough to stay competitive in an AI-first world. And of course, we’ll explore how Nutanix is helping enterprises turn GenAI from experiment into real, scalable business value—and what’s coming next on the road to 2027.As one of Nutanix’s early pioneers, Jason contributed significantly over 8 years to the company's early success before embarking on broadening his professional skills and experiences. During his 4 years away from Nutanix, Jason led sales for both a SaaS multi-cloud networking company as well as an early generative AI startup. After leading the startup from seed through A Round, he returned to Nutanix at the beginning of 2024 to run the Nutanix Enterprise AI line of business. Hosted on Ausha.

Episode 362 | Built to Be Found: Brand Building in the Age of Algorithms

The way brands get seen and chosen has changed. Algorithms, retail media platforms, and AI-powered recommendations are deciding what shows up before a human even starts shopping. And with decisions being made faster than ever, the space for storytelling is shrinking. In this episode, Christi Geary, EVP and Head of Agency at AMP, joins Millennium Live to talk about what it really takes to grow a brand in today’s digital-first, search-driven world. She’ll share how AMP is helping clients navigate this shift by blending behavioral science with more intelligent systems, team agility, and a more connected approach to strategy and creative. From rethinking visibility to staying emotionally resonant in a data-optimized world, this conversation is for leaders who want to break through the noise, stay human, and build brands that are built to be found.Hosted on Ausha.

Episode 361 | Dr. Aaron Greenstein on Cognitive Health and Dementia Care

On this episode of Millennium Live, we’re diving into one of the most urgent and misunderstood challenges in modern medicine: cognitive health and dementia care. As populations age, clinicians and health systems are grappling with how to recognize cognitive decline earlier, support families more effectively, and build care models that truly meet patients where they are. Dr. Aaron Greenstein, Medical Advisor at BrainCheck and Medical Director of Kitwood Health, joins the podcast. He has spent his career at the intersection of clinical medicine and innovation, working to improve how we detect, understand, and care for patients experiencing cognitive change. Dr. Greenstein shares why cognitive health is essential to independence in older adults, and how early signs of decline are often subtle and overlooked. We discuss the real-world consequences of late diagnosis for patients and families, and the gaps that still exist in routine care. Dr. Greenstein also highlights the origin stories of BrainCheck and Kitwood Health, examining how digital cognitive assessment tools and embedded care models aim to improve early detection and ongoing support. Finally, we look ahead to the future of comprehensive cognitive care and what healthcare leaders should be doing now to better prepare for the growing need.Hosted on Ausha.

Episode 360 | Setting a New Standard in Care Delivery: The Shift from Telehealth to Virtual-First

Over the last decade, telehealth surged — accelerated by necessity, adopted at scale, and then challenged to prove its staying power. Many organizations discovered that access alone isn’t transformation. The promise was there — but the operational model often wasn’t. So what does it actually take to move from episodic telehealth to a truly virtual-first care model? On this episode Millennium Live podcast, we're joined by Michael Dalton, Founder and CEO of Ovatient — a “virtual-first,” purpose-built platform for health systems and health plans, and anchored deeply in integrated clinical and technology infrastructure. In today’s episode, we’ll explore: What “virtual-first” really means operationally — and how continuity, escalation, and longitudinal care are designed into the model rather than left to chance. Why health plan executives should care about a virtual-first model anchored to local health systems. The measurable outcomes that matter to both health systems and health plans — and how success is defined. A real patient story that illustrates continuity — without the frustration of being bounced between disconnected providers. This episode is packed with insights for healthcare executives who care about aligning incentives, strengthening local health systems, and building virtual care that actually integrates, then you’re in the right place.Hosted on Ausha.
