🎙️ Welcome to Weekend Hustlers — the podcast where real-world doers, 🚀 not just dreamers, dig deep into Industry Reports, Case Studies, and even Patents that are shaping the business world one bold move at a time. If you’re hungry for practitioner-driven insights and want to stay two steps ahead of the tech curve, you’re in the right place. 📈🔥

Before we dive in, don’t forget to subscribe to this channel 👉 "Weekend Hustlers" on Spotify and hit up our YouTube hub 🎥 "Weekend Researcher" for the visuals, the breakdowns, and the behind-the-scenes gems. 💡✨

Now, let’s talk about what’s pushing the edge of automation in 2025... 👀

🧠💼 In today's episode, we unpack the 2025 UiPath Agentic AI Report: Preparing for the Agentic Era, published by UiPath Agentic Automation. This report dives into the bold new frontier of Agentic AI — a space where AI agents, automation, and human oversight blend to tackle complex business operations autonomously.

Think smarter bots, deeper integrations, and oversight that’s not just smart... but strategic. 🧩🤖

And who better to lead us into this new age than the dynamic duo of AI and automation thought leadership:

📘 Tom Davenport, a name synonymous with analytics and enterprise innovation, whose fingerprints are all over bestsellers like Competing on Analytics and All In on AI. With roles at Babson, UVA, and MIT, he's been shaping the way leaders think about tech for decades.

💡 Alongside him, Ian Barkin, co-founder of Symphony Ventures and a true trailblazer in digital ops and hyperautomation. His practical insights have powered companies and professionals alike — and if you’ve watched any of his LinkedIn Learning courses, you know exactly what we mean.

Together, they’ve co-authored All Hands on Tech, and their fingerprints are all over the findings we’ll break down today — from early adoption data to the enterprise implications of this cutting-edge AI paradigm.

So get ready — we’re talking security tradeoffs, cost concerns, integration headaches, and of course, the massive upside if we get this right.

🧠💬 But here’s the question to kick it all off:

If Agentic AI can truly operate autonomously… where does that leave you in the process? 🤖🧑‍💼👀

Let’s find out — only on Weekend Hustlers. 🎧🔥

Imagine a world where your entire artistic legacy is used—without permission—to train a machine that could one day replace you.
Too dramatic? Tell that to the U.S. Copyright Office. 📜🤖

In today’s episode, we dig into their latest bombshell report—
📅 Published May 9, 2025 (pre-publication edition)
📘 Titled: “Copyright and Artificial Intelligence, Part 3: Generative AI Training”
This isn’t just academic fluff—this is the legal heartbeat of how AI learns from you, me, and every creative mind online.

From fair use to the feasibility of mass licensing, the stakes are high and the copyright questions are 🔥 hotter than ever.
Is it innovation or infringement? 🚀🆚⚖️

🌐 The Office breaks down:

• How AI models actually ingest and use data

• Where copyright lines might be crossed

• And whether creators should get paid—or just get played

It’s a whirlwind of legal nuance, public interest, and policy evolution…
And it’s all happening right now.

So here’s the big question to kick off today’s deep dive:
👉 If an AI learns from your work… do you deserve a cut of its success—or just a spot in the training set? 🤔💭

What if the secret to the entire universe—your universe—was hidden in just twelve verses? Not a hundred, not even twenty. Just twelve. This is the Mandukya Upanishad, the shortest and most mysterious of the ancient texts, yet the one that dares to say it holds the key to everything. In this immersive six-hour workshop, Swami Sarvapriyananda guides you through six profound lectures that peel back the layers of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—only to reveal what lies beyond them all. He doesn’t just teach it; he lives it. And when the lectures end, the silence begins—not empty silence, but the living silence of sacred chanting, as the Mandukya Upanishad is spoken aloud in its original form. It’s not just something you hear. It’s something that starts to hear you. So here’s the question: can twelve ancient verses really wake you up from the dream you call your life?

Every weekday, we explore a cutting-edge patent. On weekends, we dissect case studies and industry reports to give you the competitive edge. Subscribe to "Weekend Hustlers" on Spotify and check out our YouTube channel, "Weekend Researcher", for even more expert analysis.

Today, we’re diving into a game-changing patent: Lifetime Mixed Level Non-Volatile Memory System, granted in February 2025 to inventor G.R. Mohan Rao. This innovation tackles one of the biggest challenges in modern storage—balancing speed, reliability, and longevity in flash memory.

At its core, this patent introduces a controller that dynamically manages data between multilevel cell (MLC) and single-level cell (SLC) flash memory. It detects data integrity failures, reroutes critical information to more stable storage, and ensures that your most important data doesn’t get lost in the wear and tear of everyday use.

So, what does this mean for the future of memory storage? Could this technology extend the lifespan of our devices while improving performance? And more importantly—how will this impact industries that rely on high-endurance data storage, from AI to cloud computing?

By 2033, world trade will look dramatically different—North America could emerge as a fortified trade bloc, China may deepen ties with the Global South, and the European Union might pivot to fresh partnerships. Meanwhile, US tariffs could throw another wrench into the equation.

So, what does this mean for businesses navigating an increasingly fragmented trade landscape? And more importantly—how can you position yourself to thrive in the next decade of global commerce?

Welcome to Weekend Hustlers!The venture capital world moves fast. One year, funding dries up. The next, billions flow like a monsoon. So what changed in India’s startup ecosystem in 2024?

Bain & Company’s India Venture Capital Report 2025 gives us the answers. Last year, VC funding in India hit $13.7 billion—a sharp comeback from the slump before. More deals, bigger bets, and a renewed confidence in consumer tech, SaaS, and financial services. But it’s not just about investments—public market exits are on the rise, showing a maturing ecosystem that’s ready for the long game.

What does this mean for founders, investors, and the future of Indian startups? Are we entering a golden age of venture capital, or is this just another cycle?

Welcome to Weekend Hustlers! The podcast where we break down Industry Reports, Case Studies, and Patents—giving you the insights you need to stay ahead.

Today, we’re diving into a game-changing report from the World Economic Forum, "The Future of Jobs Report 2025." This isn’t just a forecast—it’s a roadmap to what’s coming next. Over 1,000 global employers have weighed in on how AI, automation, the green transition, and economic shifts will reshape the job market over the next five years.

Here’s what’s happening: 170 million new jobs will be created, but 92 million will vanish. Technology-related roles, AI specialists, renewable energy engineers, and cybersecurity experts are on the rise. Meanwhile, clerical jobs, bank tellers, and postal service clerks are disappearing fast. The cost of living is pushing businesses to rethink their strategies, while climate change is driving demand for green jobs. And get this—by 2030, 59 out of every 100 workers will need upskilling just to stay relevant.

So, the big question is: If nearly 40% of today’s skills will be outdated by 2030, what will YOU do to stay ahead of the curve?

Welcome to Weekend Hustlers! The podcast where we dive deep into Industry Reports, Case Studies, and Patents—giving you the insights that matter.

Today is a special day—March 8th, 2025—International Women’s Day! So, to all the incredible women breaking barriers, building businesses, and reshaping industries—this one’s for you.

And what better way to celebrate than by exploring a groundbreaking report published by NITI Aayog India, titled "From Borrowers to Builders: Women’s Role in India’s Financial Growth Story." Backed by industry leaders like B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, Anna Roy, Bhavesh Jain, and Manoj Kumar Sharma, this report sheds light on a powerful shift—women in India aren’t just taking loans; they’re transforming into wealth creators, driving economic change from the grassroots to the boardrooms.

Here’s something fascinating—women now make up 35% of business borrowers in India, and their financial awareness is skyrocketing. More women in non-metro regions are actively tracking their credit than those in cities, proving that ambition knows no zip code. But challenges remain—credit aversion, collateral issues, and gender bias still create hurdles.

So here’s the question—What’s the next big move that will make women not just borrowers, but the architects of India’s financial future?

Stay tuned. And don’t forget to subscribe to Weekend Hustlers on Spotify and follow our Weekend Researcher channel on YouTube for more deep dives. Let’s get started!
