  • Love the “AI and the Future of Work” Podcast

    Love how Dan is leading the conversation with his guests, and also the topics are educational and informative instead of just typical marketing.

    Thanks for providing such a fruitful platform.

  • Mostly good episodes, far too trusting of government

    I’ve really enjoyed these podcasts. There’s a great variety of content and perspectives, some a little dry, some fascinating and informative. Dan is a great host… mostly.

    In a recent interview with former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, most a very good interview, Dan seemed to be heavily in favor of government regulation of AI. Tom even mentioned that the sudden turnaround of major AI companies (after years of opposition) being open to regulation as a “bright spot”.

    WHAT ABOUT REGULATORY CAPTURE DAN!... more

  • 10/10 Will Keep Listening

    Each episode is full of valuable information with no fluff. I always walk away from them having learned something new and certainly a broadened perspective. I think the host does a great job at perfectly timing his questions as to let the guest fully get their point across. Certaily worth of subbing

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

391: Andrew Palmer from The Economist on Why AI Productivity Isn’t Showing Up Yet
Q: What are the main barriers preventing AI from delivering productivity gains in the workplace?
Palmer explains three categories—behavioral changes (trust, training, and transparency), technical issues (quality, reliability, and explainability), and organizational structures (silos, governance, and cross-functional collaboration)—and how they interact to slow measurable impact.
392: Sophia Kianni, CEO of Phia, on Scaling to 1.4 Million Users Through Feedback, Experimentation, and AI-Driven Efficiency
Q: Can you share an example of a moment when someone told you that you couldn't achieve your goals and how you overcame it?
She describes surrounding herself with believers who reinforce positive mindsets, and she emphasizes filtering feedback through a strict framework that only includes input from people she aspires to be like, which keeps noise out and motivation intact.
