  • Not about building smarter markets

    This podcast got lost a long time ago. It was supposed to be a buildup to the exchange launch and then that got delayed by 3+ years. David is a good host, but the podcast has been meandering aimlessly for years. Like a lot of podcasts they ran out of ideas and started recycling guests.

  • Promoting “hydrogen economy”

    I can’t believe how ignorant the guests on this carbon obsessed show are.

    I listen just to hear their doom and gloom, along with their useless carbon credit schemes and “green hydrogen” garbage.

    The fact most guests don’t even mention nuclear as a solution is a complete and total embarrassment to this podcast and its host.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Raise Your Agent Episode 4 | Alec Coughlin, Principal at BairesDev & Host of “AI with Alec”
Q: What are forward deployed engineers and why are they important?
Forward deployed engineers embed technical work into client environments, combining management consulting sensibilities with deep technical skills to bridge business and technical teams and to scale AI initiatives across organizations.
How to Raise Your Agent Episode 4 | Alec Coughlin, Principal at BairesDev & Host of “AI with Alec”
Q: What does it mean to be AI first?
Being AI first is about reflexively turning to AI to help solve problems as soon as they're identified, embedding that mindset into leadership culture, and designing products and operations to leverage AI capabilities end-to-end.
How to Raise Your Agent Episode 8 | Matthew Cheung, CEO, ipushpull
Q: How do you see the 'autonomy slider' affecting risk and governance in trading desks?
The autonomy slider helps calibrate how much AI handles versus how much humans supervise, balancing speed and control; in high-stakes finance, the industry will likely stay in the human-in-the-loop or human-oversight zones for the near term, moving toward more automation as governance and reliability improve.
How to Raise Your Agent Episode 8 | Matthew Cheung, CEO, ipushpull
Q: Why is messaging considered the winning interface for enterprise AI and data workflows?
Messaging is already ingrained in enterprise workflows; it provides a natural, ubiquitous way to capture, route, and react to information, and when combined with governance, data extraction, and AI capabilities, it becomes a powerful layer to orchestrate complex processes.
How to Raise Your Agent Episode 8 | Matthew Cheung, CEO, ipushpull
Q: Can you explain a little bit what you mean by agents replacing single-purpose applications as the main way people in financial services interact with data?
Agents are the next interface layer after GUIs and APIs; they can orchestrate workloads, connect to sub-agents, and enable more natural, task-focused interactions with data, reducing the need to switch between disparate tools and enabling more automated, data-driven workflows.
