Last week, Sean Aylmer spoke with Domain President Jason Pellegrino about what CoStar ownership means for the platform - from residential scale to a new commercial-property data push.

This week, the conversation shifts to leadership: how you guide a company through major change, how you bring two cultures together, and what it’s like returning to the same business - as the same leader - and having to tell staff, customers and the market that “everything’s changed”.

Australia’s economy is growing faster than expected. New GDP figures show the economy expanded by 2.6 per cent through 2025 — its fastest pace in almost three years — helped by government spending, strong business investment including data centres, and resilient consumer demand.

Belinda Allen, Head of Australian Economics at Commonwealth Bank, joins Sean Aylmer to unpack the numbers, and she explains why the strong economy, the inflation challenge, and international uncertainty have put the RBA in a pickle.

Enterprise AI is moving fast,  and it’s already moved beyond large language models. The focus now is on “agentic AI”: systems that combine raw AI intelligence with business logic, workflows and governance to deliver predictable, enterprise-grade outcomes.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Sanjna Parulekar, Senior Vice President of Product Marketing for Agentforce at Salesforce, about how companies overcome the “last mile” challenge of moving from pilot to production, and why in three years agents won’t feel revolutionary - they’ll just feel normal.

Fear & Greed is proud to partner with Salesforce for the Agentforce World Tour Sydney. This interview is part of a series exploring how agentic AI is transforming Aussie businesses. Visit agentforce.com for more information.

Australian employers are making progress on closing the gender pay gap, but there’s still a lot of work ahead. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency's new report shows half of employers are now recording a pay gap below 11.2 per cent. More organisations are within the target range but half still sit above it, and men remain almost twice as likely to occupy the highest paid roles.

Mary Wooldridge, CEO of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, joins Sean Aylmer to discuss what’s driving the improvement, and why narrowing the gap requires long-term cultural change, not just policy reform.

This week on Fear & Greed Q&A, Michael puts Sean and Adam on the spot with five rapid-fire questions — no notice, no prep — all about airlines, loyalty programs, business class, and the little things that make flying either a joy… or deeply irritating.

With Qantas reporting record profits and the loyalty program battle with Virgin heating up, the trio unpack whether points actually influence booking decisions, whether airline loyalty is now the real business of aviation, and if business class is worth the splurge.

They also share their best-ever flight experiences (including a first-class surprise upgrade and a childhood trip that set the bar impossibly high), before a candid look at modern flight etiquette — from overhead locker offenders to mid-air commentators.

Last year Domain became part of Nasdaq-listed CoStar Group, a global leader in commercial real estate data and analytics. Domain President Jason Pellegrino joins Sean Aylmer to explain what that means for the Australian property platform and how being part of a much larger, data-driven international organisation changes the game.

They discuss why confidence is the core need of property buyers everywhere, how AI is reshaping the journey, and why commercial property in Australia is a “white space” ripe for disruption.

Biotech company Imugene reported its half-year results yesterday. It’s still loss-making, but sharply cutting costs and seeing what appear to be genuinely encouraging clinical results.

Its lead cancer therapy, azer-cel, is showing strong response rates in difficult lymphoma cases, with some patients cancer-free for nearly two years - and the FDA has given positive feedback on the company’s strategy.

But at the same time, the company’s share price is down around 80pc over the last year.

Sean Aylmer speaks to Leslie Chong, CEO and Managing Director of Imugene, about what it takes to run a long-cycle biotech business, trying to develop life-changing treatments while keeping investors engaged.

Australia has a productivity problem, and AI is often pitched as the solution. But while companies are running pilots everywhere, very few are actually getting AI into enterprise production.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Frank Fillmann, Executive Vice President and general manager of Salesforce ANZ, about why 95% of AI pilots fail, why the “last mile” is so hard, and how businesses can move from slick demos to real P&L impact.
Frank will be appearing today at Agentforce World Tour Sydney.

Fear & Greed is proud to partner with Salesforce for this event at the ICC. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll bring you a series of interviews exploring how agentic AI is transforming Aussie businesses. Visit https://www.salesforce.com/au/news/ for more information.
