  Why Face-to-Face Communication Still Matters in an AI World | Joe Ruffini

  Oct 1, 202648 min

  In this episode of Live The Dream , Harinder sits down with Joe Ruffini , founder and principal consultant of JPR & Associates, LLC , a military veteran, consultant, speaker and author with decades of experience across leadership, crisis management, school safety, homeland security and business consulting. Joe brings a refreshing, no-nonsense perspective on what we risk losing in a world dominated by emails, texts, remote work and AI. Together, they explore why face-to-face communication still matters, how leaders can manage across generations, why AI should support thinking rather than replace it, and why business is ultimately still about people. Joe also shares stories from his military career, including his time working with British soldiers, lessons from consulting, and why family, trust and honest conversation should never be sacrificed for work. This conversation is a reminder that in a high-tech world, the most valuable skill may still be the most human one: knowing how to talk to people. In this episode, we cover: – Why keystrokes are replacing real communication – How AI should and should not be used in business – The danger of outsourcing your thinking – Leading across Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z – Why good leaders serve their teams – How social connection improves performance – Joe’s definition of “living the dream” – Why family and close relationships must come first CONNECT WITH JOE: Joseph Ruffini: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-a-ruffini-8a11762/ Website: https://www.jpr-online.com/ LIVE THE DREAM PODCAST: Website: https://livethedreampodcast.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3qYPFLciKJ433ADl8LP8XI Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/live-the-dream-podcast/id1877688101 Instagram: https://instagram.com/livethedreampodcast LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/showcase/live-the-dream-podcast/ Hosted by Harinder Mullay.

  How Small Daily Habits Can Transform Your Health, Energy & Inner Life | Angie DeGeronimo

  Sep 24, 202635 min

  What if the life you want doesn’t require a complete reinvention — but a return to the small daily rhythms that bring you back to yourself? In this episode of Live The Dream , Harinder sits down with Angie DeGeronimo, movement and mindset coach, retreat leader, and creator of The Little Wonders Method. Angie shares her journey from running wellness studios in Silicon Valley to building House of Little Wonders, writing The Little Wonders Playbook , and helping people reconnect with their body, rhythm and inner wisdom. This conversation explores burnout, anxiety, midlife renewal, Ayurveda-inspired living, the power of simple daily habits, and why true transformation often starts with the smallest shifts — a breath, a walk, a pause, a meal eaten at the right time, or a moment of self-permission. Angie also reflects on the role of AI, why human wisdom can’t be outsourced, and how retreats create the space for people to step away from the noise and come back to what really matters. In this episode, we discuss: Why small habits can create powerful long-term change Angie’s personal experience with burnout and rebuilding rhythm The role of movement, mindset and Ayurveda in daily life Why midlife can become a doorway into deeper alignment The wisdom of the body and learning to listen inward How retreats help people reset beyond the noise of everyday life Why AI can support us, but cannot replace human wisdom The story behind The Little Wonders Method and The Little Wonders Playbook This is a conversation for anyone who feels successful on the outside but knows their body, mind or spirit is asking for a deeper reset.

  The AI Coach Built to Challenge You, Not Flatter You | John Muldoon

  Sep 17, 202634 min

  John Muldoon is the CEO and Co-founder of Interflexion, an AI-powered role-play coaching platform helping professionals build leadership, communication, sales, and interpersonal skills through guided practice and personalised feedback. Before Interflexion, John co-founded Intralinks, one of the early fintech platforms that helped transform digital deal rooms and enterprise collaboration. Now, he’s building Scarlett — a real-time situational AI coach designed to help people prepare for high-stakes conversations, from sales calls to performance reviews. In this episode of Live The Dream , John shares the story behind the “Bronx to Wall Street” insight that inspired Interflexion, why communication is breaking down inside organisations, and why AI should be used to develop human skills — not replace them. We also explore the reality of building a serious AI company, surviving COVID-era setbacks, raising capital, finding the right partners, and why many solo entrepreneurs fail because they don’t have anyone challenging their thinking. This is a conversation about AI, leadership, resilience, communication, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in a fast-changing world.

  AI Hurt Our Business, So We Went Back to Human Connection | Meghan McFall, ashTEC

  Sep 10, 202635 min

  In this episode of Live The Dream , Harinder Mullay sits down with Meghan McFall, founder of ashTEC, a consulting and training organisation focused on business development, workforce strategy, economic development, and rural technical assistance. Meghan shares the story of how ashTEC was created to serve rural and tribal communities where access to technology, business support, and in-person guidance is often limited. She explains what it was like to move from government-supported business consulting into building her own private organisation — and why she felt the old model was not enough for the communities she wanted to serve. This conversation goes deep into the reality of mission-led entrepreneurship. Meghan opens up about losing major grant funding, having to close offices, laying people off, and pivoting from a free service model into a paid model while still protecting ashTEC’s impact. We also discuss one of the most important AI lessons for business owners today: ashTEC initially moved heavily into AI for marketing and lead generation, but quickly discovered that clients did not want to feel like they were dealing with a robot. Meghan explains why they pulled AI back from customer-facing communication, how referrals recovered, and where AI still belongs behind the scenes. Later in the episode, Meghan shares her ambitious next chapter: building food hubs, supporting farmers, creating zero-waste food systems, exploring drone delivery for rural communities, and expanding into Canada. This episode is about resilience, leadership, impact, rural economic development, AI, food systems, and what it really means to live the dream by helping others achieve theirs. In this episode, we cover: Why ashTEC was created to serve rural and tribal communities The limitations of government-backed business consulting Losing major grant funding and rebuilding the business model Moving from free services to a paid service model Why AI hurt ashTEC’s referrals and customer trust How to use AI without losing human connection Building food hubs and closed-loop agricultural systems Drone delivery for rural and underserved communities Why farmers, food access, and zero-waste systems matter Meghan’s advice for founders: launch before it is perfect Guest: Meghan Cherie McFallCompany: ashTECLegacy: Blue Ocean Legacy WM Connect with Meghan:Linked In (Personal) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghancherie/Linked In (Business) - https://www.linkedin.com/company/ashtec/Project - https://www.blueoceanlegacywm.com/ Website - https://ashtec.co⁠ / ️ Subscribe to the podcast for more conversations with creators, entrepreneurs & changemakers.Get the latest updates and BONUS Content: https://livethedreampodcast.comMore about me and my projects: https://www.harindermullay.com/Need growth infrastructure and systems to elevate your business: http://aurexaisolutions.com/Want to learn more about my faith, check out: https://www.basicsofsikhi.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@harinder.mullayLinked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/harinder-mullay/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/harinder.mullay/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@harinder.mullayX - https://x.com/harindermullayFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/harindermullayofficial

  From Breakdancer to Filmmaker & Founder: Why Consistency Beats Talent | Olly Ginelli

  Aug 29, 202658 min

  What happens when you realise the conventional path was never really built for you?In this episode of Live The Dream, I sit down with London-based writer-director and entrepreneur Olly Ginelli, co-founder of Nostro People.Olly's journey is anything but conventional.He began as a professional breakdancer before transitioning into filmmaking — a transition he describes as an "ugly divorce." He went on to work across the commercial film industry, before a deeply personal 10-year piano project unexpectedly reached tens of millions of people after being performed on BBC television.Today, Olly is building Nostro People, a talent agency founded around a simple principle: talent isn't enough. When you're 12 hours into a difficult production, attitude, accountability and the ability to work with others matter just as much. Around 95% of Nostro's roster is vouched for by someone who has actually worked with them.We also go behind the scenes of Olly's short film The Long Spring, inspired by his experience volunteering in refugee camps in France and witnessing the darker reality of human trafficking. The screenplay later reached the top 1% of more than 4,000 submissions to BBC Writersroom, before becoming a short film now making its way through the festival circuit.We talk about:️ Leaving a career you love️ Delayed gratification and rejection️ The reality of becoming a founder️ Building Nostro People️ Why attitude matters as much as talent️ Learning from the world's best entrepreneurs️ The Long Spring️ Breaking into film festivals️ Building a future production company️ Why you need "half a cup of delusion" to pursue something big️ And Olly's belief that consistency may be the closest thing we have to a superpowerOlly's final advice is simple:Ask questions. Stay humble. Be consistent. And work.If you're a filmmaker, creative, founder — or simply someone who's never quite fitted the traditional 9–5 — this conversation is for you.Subscribe to Live The Dream for more conversations with founders, creators and people building life on their own terms.
