Spill the tea - we want to hear from you! What if the best mentor you ever had lived in your ear, spoke your language, and waited while you tried step one? We sit down with Derek Crager, the builder behind Amazon’s highest-rated training programme and founder of Practical AI, to unpack how audio-first tools can transform learning for teams and students without adding more screens or stress. Derek’s story begins with a late diagnosis of autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, and turns into a design prin...

Spill the tea - we want to hear from you! A quiet revolution is underway in publishing, and it’s not just about formats. We dive into how AI is reshaping discovery, licensing, and authorship with Julie Trelstad of Amlet, a rights registry built to make books machine-recognisable—so creators can be identified, consent can be captured, and royalties can actually flow.

We sit down with Tamara Laine, an Emmy-winning journalist turned fintech founder, to explore how AI and verified alternative data can open fair credit to the people traditional underwriting overlooks: drivers, carers, creators, renters, and newly arrived citizens who keep the eco...

Spill the tea - we want to hear from you! What happens when a handful of companies can quietly steer what we see, buy, and believe? We sit down with Billy Ludke, founder of Intuition and a veteran of EY and ConsenSys, to map a path where trust is built on cryptographic proof, portable reputation, and your own data — not a platform’s black box. Billy argues that while crypto started by decentralising money, the bigger prize is decentralising information itself. If discovery flows through opaqu...
