In Episode 76 of the Digital Velocity Podcast, Erik Martinez welcomes Joe Hudicka, CEO of EvenFlow and author of the upcoming book The AI Ecosystems Revolution, to unpack the evolving role of AI, trust, communication, and forecasting in the modern supply chain and marketing ecosystem.

Joe shares eye-opening insights about how broken digital systems, disjointed communication, and reactive forecasting are holding brands back — and how a silent shift is already underway, driven by AI ecosystems that will be able to synthesize signals across departments, partners, and platforms.

Listeners will learn:

• What “silent shifts” are and why they’re disrupting logistics, retail, and even marketing
• How fast fashion brands are leveraging data and air freight to outmaneuver traditional retail
• Why trust, permissioned data, and human-led decisions must remain central in AI transformation
• How connected conversations and signal-streaming can modernize forecasting
• Why marketers must move from isolated decision-making to full ecosystem awareness

From fast fashion to freight logistics, and from generative content to permission-based AI architecture, Joe challenges listeners to reimagine how strategy, marketing, and technology converge to better serve the customer — and how marketers must play a key role in driving cross-functional change. https://joehudicka.com/
