204. Julian Reeve. Unmistakable Identity.

As AI reshapes the way we work, it's easy to get caught up in questions about what jobs will change or which skills will become obsolete. But perhaps the more important question is this: what makes us uniquely human, and why will those qualities matter even more in an AI-powered world? Today's guest believes that while AI is transforming what we do, it doesn't have to change who we are. Julian Reeve is a keynote speaker, burnout specialist, and creator of the Intentional Synthesis™ framework. After surviving a heart attack that forced him to rethink his career and identity, Julian has dedicated his work to helping leaders and organizations build resilience, prevent burnout, and unlock the human capabilities that technology can never replace. In this conversation, we explore the future of leadership in the age of AI, why burnout is a systems problem rather than a personal failure, how leaders can use AI to strengthen, not replace, human judgment, and the habits that help people stay creative, adaptable, and deeply human in a rapidly changing world.

203. Marcelo SanMartin. A Pragmatic Approach For AI.

Everyone is talking about AI, but buying the latest tools isn't the same as transforming a business. So what does digital transformation actually look like in the age of AI? Where should leaders start, what mistakes should they avoid, and what will separate the companies that thrive from the ones that get left behind? To help us answer those questions, I'm joined by Marcelo SanMartin, a technology and business transformation executive who's spent his career helping organizations navigate major shifts. We dive into what AI means beyond the hype, how it's reshaping strategy, leadership, and the workforce, and what practical steps CEOs can take today to create real business value.

202. Anuj Gupta. SimForge And Physical AI.

Today's AI can write, code, and reason, but what happens when it leaves the screen and starts interacting with the real world? That's where physical AI comes in, and it could be the next major leap in technology. In this episode, I'm joined by Anuj Gupta, founder and CEO of SimForge, to explore how simulation is becoming the foundation for training intelligent machines. We dive into what physical AI really means, why this moment is different, the challenges of building at the intersection of AI and robotics, and Anuj's own journey from moving to the US to building a deep-tech startup from the ground up. Let's get into it.

201. Alisha Outridge. The AI Founder Playbook.

Today's AI can write code, build prototypes, and launch products faster than ever before. But if building has become easy, figuring out what's actually worth building has become the real competitive advantage. Today's guest has spent more than 15 years building products at Meta, Reuters, TuneCore, and high-growth startups, and now helps founders avoid the biggest mistake in AI: creating products nobody actually wants to pay for. She's the creator of the AI Founder Playbook, where she teaches entrepreneurs to think like product leaders before they think like AI builders.

200. Mateo Bervejillo. Lessons From 200 Episodes As A Host.

This is not just another episode; this is our 200th episode. Time flies! When I started this show, back in March of 2023, I never really thought that far into the future, nor did I visualize getting here. Today I want to do more of the talking myself, but I also want to bring our dear Anabella Gonzalez, Ani, to the forefront, so she can interview me. Ani usually stays in the background, but she helps me put everything together, publish the episodes, and even find some of the best guests we've had on the show. In short, she makes my life easier. Enjoy her interview and my answers!

199. Bogdan Snisar. We Still Want To Trust Humans.

Artificial intelligence isn't just changing how we build software, it's changing how companies operate. From AI employees working alongside humans to the mental models leaders need to unlearn, this episode explores what it really takes to thrive in an AI-first world. My guest is Bogdan Snisar, an engineering leader at Solea AI who has spent more than a decade building software, with previous engineering leadership roles at companies like Revolut and Wix. He's also been on the founder's journey himself, launching multiple startups before joining one of the fastest-growing AI ventures. That combination of operator, engineer, and founder gives him a uniquely practical perspective on product, AI, and what separates great technology from great businesses. Enjoy!

198. Sridhar Ravilla. Who Owns The Outcome?

Why do so many transformation programs fail, even when they have executive support, talented teams, and plenty of investment? In this episode, I sit down with Sridhar Ravilla—fractional executive, transformation leader, and author of Transformation That Lands and Humans At Scale —to explore the gap between strategy and execution. We discuss what it really takes to deliver lasting change, how organizations can approach AI transformation without losing sight of the human element, and what leaders should be doing right now to navigate uncertainty and drive meaningful outcomes. Enjoy!

197. Swathi Young. Ethical AI Considerations.

Today’s episode goes beyond the AI hype and into the hard questions most companies are still avoiding. Swathi Young has built her career at the intersection of product, strategy, and technology—from federal systems to fast-moving startups—and now sits at the forefront of ethical AI leadership. In this conversation, we unpack what “ethical AI” actually means in practice, how organizations can operationalize it beyond buzzwords, and whether governments and enterprises are truly keeping pace with innovation. We’ll also dive into bias, regulation, the shifting role of engineers in an AI-first world, and what it really takes to build responsibly in a landscape that’s moving faster than ever. If you care about where AI is going—and who’s accountable for how it gets there—this one’s for you. Enjoy!

196. Rohan Verma. Surfsense And The Next Generation Of Builders.

In a world where AI has made it easier than ever to ship products, the real question is no longer can you build , but what are you actually building, and why does it matter? Today’s guest, Rohan Verma, is tackling that question head-on as the creator of SurfSense, an open-source, privacy-focused research agent designed for builders who want more than just flashy demos. In this episode, we go deep into the moment that made SurfSense inevitable, and why Rohan believed he was the right person to build it. We unpack what truly separates real builders from the noise, how constraints shape better products, and how to develop the kind of judgment that tells you what not to build. Enjoy!

195. Jeff Roberts. IT And AI For Mid Market Companies.

AI is creating a new kind of pressure inside mid market companies. The urgency to move fast is real, but so is the risk of getting it wrong. Without the right leadership in place, many organizations are stuck between experimentation and execution, unsure how to scale AI responsibly while still capturing its value. That is exactly where today’s conversation lives. How do you bridge that gap between ambition and capability without hiring a full time executive too early or too late? Jeff Roberts is right in the middle of this problem. As Founder and CEO of Innovation Vista and a five time CIO, he has spent years stepping into companies at critical moments, helping them align IT strategy with business outcomes and avoid the traps that cause most AI initiatives to fail. He brings a front row view into what actually works when companies try to move from interest in AI to real impact.
