Nat Schooler was joined by Tech expert Neil Cattermull.

They discussed the World Economic Forum 2020, the future of technology, 

and of course the worries many people have about their jobs being taken by AI.

Here are three optimized descriptions, with the first being my strong recommendation.

All options are designed for the Audioboom platform, which means the links must be full URLs (not hyperlinks) so people can copy-paste them. The most important CTA (MONDAY INFLUENCER) is placed at the top for maximum visibility.

Option 1 (Recommended: Hook-Driven)

How do you scale a company from a $6 million market cap to over $3 BILLION?

In this classic interview, ex-IBM Futurist Nat Schooler sits down with "maverick" tech entrepreneur Michael Tobin OBE (former CEO of Telecity) to deconstruct his hard-won sales and success secrets.

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."

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.
