  Startup Growth in the AI Era: Why Talking to Real Customers Beats Every Shortcut

  Oct 6, 202627 min

  AI can now handle much of the repetitive work around growth, but it cannot replace understanding who your customer is or why they should care. Jason Shafton, who has led growth and marketing at Google, Headspace and other technology companies and now runs the growth consultancy Winston Francois, argues that the fundamentals have not changed: know what you are selling, know who is buying, and talk to real users before you scale. He explains why AI-wrapper startups are hard to defend, how to prioritize growth experiments with the RICE framework, and why brand still matters, using Tesla and Airbnb as examples. It is a practical conversation for founders deciding where to put their time and money.

  Cultural Intelligence: The Leadership Skill Nobody Teaches | Eva Aimable Kolosko

  Oct 4, 202623 min

  Most ambitious senior managers and directors believe strong performance will get them promoted. It doesn't. Eva Aimable Kolosko, an executive coach and global leadership advisor, explains why performance gets you noticed—but leadership gets you promoted. She introduces the missing skill nobody teaches: cultural intelligence. Drawing from her journey from a small Caribbean island to executive leadership across eight countries, she reveals why capable leaders get stuck when the unwritten rules of credibility and influence differ from what they know—and how to adapt without losing yourself. Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads this conversation for internationally experienced professionals who are ready to turn results into recognition.

  Why Talking at a Virtual Audience Isn't Engagement (and What to Do Instead)

  Oct 4, 202622 min

  Talking at an audience is not engagement, and on a screen the gap shows faster. Speaker trainer David Doerrier explains why engagement has to begin before the first point is made, with a clear answer to “what’s in it for me?” — especially for audiences who didn't choose to be there. The conversation covers looking into the camera, reading an audience you can't fully see, and three principles that work from stage to screen: know your audience, tell short stories, and end with a compelling conclusion. It also reframes nerves as excitement and argues that presenters should warm up for performance much like athletes do.

  The Story We Choose to Tell: Storytelling in the Age of AI & Short Attention Spans | Craig Forrest

  Sep 28, 202629 min

  What does it mean to bear witness to the darkest corners of humanity — and still find light? That's the question Craig D. Forrest has lived with for more than four decades. An award-winning director and documentary filmmaker, he has covered terrorism, voodoo sacrifices, war zones, and cultic practices across more than 100 countries — and says those encounters have deepened rather than diminished his faith. In this conversation, Craig reflects on what it means to tell stories in a changing world, where technology gives almost everyone the power to tell them, but the responsibility for what we choose to tell remains human.
