Tech Talks

Many traditional enterprises mistakenly believe that simply adopting cloud tools internally means they have a working AI strategy. In reality, true AI readiness requires breaking down entrenched data silos to expose engines to diverse, multi-application datasets.
In today's episode, MinIO co-CEO Garima Kapoor unpacks why scaling AI isn’t just a technical hurdle, it is a massive structural challenge that demands making "hard decisions inside your organization".
We explore the human tensions behind legacy tech transformations and why fundamental changes to systems and processes are doomed to fail without uncomfortable, top-down alignment from the boardroom.

From Goldman Sachs traders to health-tech founders, sisters India and Portia O’Connor are proving that in the age of AI, specificity is everything.

We are taught to be vertical specialists: stay in your lane, climb the ladder, and fit into a box. But Casey Woo, founder of the Operators Guild, argues that in high-growth tech, the "lane" is actually a trap.
On today's show David and Casey decode the DNA of the "Horizontal Specialist", the executive who thrives by moving left and right, not just up. They discuss why a CFO is often a COO in disguise, why you cannot "force a bird to swim," and how to stop chasing titles to become a true business artist.

In this episode, Channing details a future of "bots buying from bots, bots selling to bots" and explains why the US mid-market is the new battleground for scale-ups and unicorns, whilst warning that to survive the automation wave, marketers must evolve into "Go-To-Market Engineers."
