  • S1 Ep5: AI Unleashed: Navigating Regulation, Cybersecurity, And Life
    Nat Schooler sat down with Monique Morrow to discuss the future and AI for jobs.

    I’d like to introduce Monique Morrow. Monique is a Chief Technology strategist, ground breaking technologist and a proven innovator.

    Monique is a former CTO at Cisco who has worked tirelessly to align technologies to society’s needs. Monique is also the co founder of the humanized internet. And involved with The AI for Action Group, actually co-chair of the extended reality committee.

    M.M. :- "I’ve been thinking about AI for a few years. And like most people, I was initially worried. But I think now I’m actually more excited about the possibilities of working less hours, which is hopefully something that we should be able to do in the near future."

    Tune in to the episode to learn more about the future of technology from an informed perspective!

  • S1 Ep4: Balancing Work & Life: Insights from Tech Entrepreneur Michael Tobin OBE
    This is one of our favourite interviews from the archives.

    Nat Schooler sat down to discuss Work-Life Balance, or as Mike calls it work-life integration.

    Michael Tobin OBE shares so much wisdom here, he even tells some funny stories about the time he took his management team to swim with sharks without telling them! 

    This is one of my favourite interviews from the archives. Mike Tobin OBE shares so much wisdom here he even tells some funny stories about the time he took his management team to swim with sharks without telling them!

    In this episode Mike shares his decades of management experience in how to manage stress and how to develop a work-life integration, clearly, commercial awareness is thrown in for good measure...

    Mike had been talking to his management team for some time, about merging with a big competitor, and all the management team could see was the negatives of what they would see, and what those synergies mean. You know, two people one job going forward and potentially they would be in competition or lose their jobs. So Mike decided to get them to swim with sharks and various other management "fun" days out!

    Mike's books are both on Amazon. Kindle and audiobook.

    First one is Forget Strategy, Get Results. It’s a little bit of an alternative view on leadership. And the second one is Live, Love, Work Prosper, which is kind of a fresh, fresh approach to integrating life and work as opposed to trying to find a balance.

    Nat Schooler 1:02
    My pleasure. My pleasure. So, in in business, obviously, I mean, I know we're gonna we're going to talk about digital transformation, we're going to talk about startups, right? But also ftse five hundreds and stuff, because I know you've been involved in quite a bit of technology within those as well. But best place to start is probably resilience at work, because to building you know, building any business or even starting a new job is tough, right? So we need to kind of work really, really hard to not be depressed, right?
    Sam Morhaim 1:35
    Yes. Yeah, absolutely. So how do you do that? Definitely. The the mindset is extremely important. I actually you don't know this because we're on a phone call. But I wear a bracelet for the last few months. It's basically says be positive. And on the other side says no negativity allowed. And really, every morning you have to wake up And and have a fresh mindset and not let any any obstacles or rejections throw you down so that you can continue doing the things that that are going to work, you need a lot of hope and a lot of vision to move your idea forward and be able to make it through until until it gets fulfilled. And there is there is no entrepreneur or no business in the world that hasn't had a fair dose or even an amount dose of awareness. So so they need to always be positive and be extremely resilient in order to to transform those ideas into reality. Yeah,
    Nathaniel Schooler 2:39
    yeah, I'll agree with that. I talked to so many people, IBM and Microsoft and things like this. And a lot of the time they actually say that it's great to have someone who you can speak to someone who they might not be a mentor, they might not be a coach, but they might just be like an advocate of yours, for example, within the business or even just a friend you can talk to I mean, I think that really can Help, you know,
    Sam Morhaim 3:01
    core right? Yes. And so it's different for for entrepreneurs work. If you're if you're an entrepreneur, if you're an employee working in a company you want to, to stand out, you typically my experience has been to always find, like you said, not necessarily a mentor but it's always having that that person that has your back that has your, your your best interest in mind, and you can rely on them and it's like your internal call not colleague by your internal partner that can help you propel forward inside an organization. When you're an entrepreneur, you definitely need that because there's people that complain a lot about isolation being alone being, you know, working seven days straight on the computer and not even seen on, you know, anybody's faces. But it's extremely important to always have an external connection, even if it's a family member or friend, or hopefully, you know, a successful business person that can guide you and can at least check with you every month or every quarter and make sure that you're being accountable for your your goals and your objectives.
    Nathaniel Schooler 4:10
    Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I was talking to a gentleman the other day, actually in another one of these expert interviews, and he was saying how, you know,
