Pulse Check on AI’s Global Rollout

  • June 27, 2025June 28, 2025
  • by Claire

We’re not long back from attending the AI Summit in London – the headline event for London Tech Week. And so this week’s episode is all about sharing the sometimes surprising key insights we took away. 

The Summit brought together an incredible cross-section of nationalities, perspectives, and industries, giving us what felt like a real-time pulse check of where AI stands right now. We were there on your behalf, identifying amazing leaders and securing some fantastic upcoming guests for the show.

In this episode, we share our biggest takeaways from the event – and we suspect at least one of them will challenge what you might expect about AI’s current impact in the business world.

What you’ll hear:

  • The surprising reality about AI’s bottom-line impact in most organisations 
  • Why even the biggest companies are missing a crucial strategic opportunity with their AI approach
  • The coming wave of autonomous AI Agents and what this means for how we’ll all be working soon, 
  • Some rare ‘behind the curtain’ examples of how some of the most forward thinking businesses are applying AI, and . . . 
  • The fascinating cultural divide we observed between how Europeans and Americans are talking about AI’s impact on jobs.

We also explore why so many AI pilots are failing to scale, the risks of unauthorised AI tool usage in workplaces, and what successful AI deployment actually looks like when companies think beyond just automating existing processes.

If you’ve been wondering whether your organisation is behind the curve with AI, or if you’re curious about what’s really happening beyond the hype, this episode offers some much-needed perspective from the front lines of the AI world around the globe.

And just like that… 2023 is coming to a close! We hope everyone’s enjoying the Holiday season.

In our final episode for the year, we reflect on the best and most loved books, experiences, and habits and hacks we’re taking away from this year. We made a deliberate choice to focus on all things positive and constructive to help counter all the negative news in the world. We send our love and thoughts to anyone who’s doing it tough right now . . . it can be a difficult time for many people. 

In this episode you’ll hear about: 

  • Our top fiction books as well as our favourite two non fiction books and why
  • Our favourite podcast memories and experiences from the year 
  • Cultural moments that really resonated with each of us; and 
  • The top habits and hacks we’ve learnt (often from our guests) that have worked brilliantly for us. 

So as the final days for 2023 come to a close. We wish all of you a chance to rest and recuperate and all the very best for a happy, healthy and purposeful 2024. We’re taking the Australian summer to rest and relax so we’ll be back in February. 

Happy Holidays and enjoy this unique ‘What we loved’ episode.

Compassion + Contribution – Dr Lineo Thahane

  • November 17, 2023November 17, 2023
  • by Claire

If you’re anything like us and fed up with all the bleak news, then this week’s episode may be just what you need; a guaranteed dose of positivity, progress and inspiration!

We’re joined by the humble and impressive Dr Lineo Thahane. Lineo is a paediatrician and is Executive Director of a major medical clinic in the Kingdom of Lesotho called the Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation Lesotho. 

Lesotho, a tiny country in southern Africa, is ranked number two in terms of the countries with the highest proportion of its adult population living with HIV in the world. Nearly one in 4 adults is HIV positive and many children are too.

Lineo was born and raised in the US but her parents were both from Lesotho and so Lineo spent summer holidays back in Lesotho with her extended family. There, she was able to experience what it was like to live in her parents’ country of birth and, as she grew older, she felt a deep sense of unfairness at the differences in the standard of living in the US versus that of Lesotho. 

As you will hear, this convinced Lineo to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a doctor so that she could return to Lesotho and help make a difference to the quality of healthcare the average person could receive there. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How nearly 10% of Lesotho’s children are orphans
  • How Lineo stays positive despite the sometimes confronting experiences and challenges she has faced treating sick babies and children 
  • Why she continues to work in Lesotho when she could be living comfortably in the US,
  • And what Lineo has learnt about the challenges of transitioning from being a specialist doctor to becoming a leader of a large organisation with nearly 800 employees. 

This is a fascinating, moving and uplifting conversation. Don’t miss this episode with the compassionate and dedicated Dr Lineo Thahane.
