Government procurement is where good tech goes to die — or so the cliché goes. Bryana Tucci, who leads the AWS Marketplace for the US Intelligence Community, told me a different story: how agencies are cutting two-year buying cycles down to size and adopting AI and cloud faster than you'd think. From my IT Visionaries channel.
Everyone says AI will replace your content team. Ravi Singh, President & CPO of Brightspot, makes the opposite case — AI works best when it keeps human creators at the center. We dug into governance, content sprawl, and the costly AI missteps IT leaders keep making, over on my IT Visionaries channel.
Just had a great conversation with Mike Trkay, CIO and Chief Customer Officer at FICO, over on my IT Visionaries channel. Everyone's racing to bolt AI onto what they already do — and Mike's argument is that's the exact mistake companies made with cloud. We dig into why 95% of AI projects never reach production, why LLM repatriation is already happening, and what really separates automation from transformation.
Your AI looks 80% done. In reality, it's 20% done — and the last mile is a cliff. Greg Whalen, CTO of Prove AI, breaks down why CTOs are getting blindsided by AI, why vibe coding creates a false sense of progress, and what most teams are missing when it comes to AI telemetry and observability.
Most companies don’t realize it yet, but the way they built their technology foundations is quietly becoming a liability.
Cloud costs are rising. Platforms change underneath you. AI is reshaping infrastructure from hardware to data to governance. And the strategies that once felt “safe” are now the ones creating the most risk.
Compliance and regulatory reporting used to mean endless spreadsheets, fragmented data sources, and teams drowning in manual work. Today, AI is transforming how the world's largest companies manage financial reporting, sustainability disclosures, and audit workflows—not by replacing humans, but by giving them time back to do strategic work.
Think 5G is about faster phones? That's what telecom companies want consumers to believe. The truth is far more interesting.
In this episode, Elena Fersman (VP and Head of AI Innovation at Ericsson) reveals what 5G networks are really built for: industries, not consumers. Through network slicing, edge computing, and cognitive systems, 5G creates the infrastructure that makes AI applications possible at scale—from remote surgery where milliseconds matter, to AR/VR without wearing a backpack of GPUs, to factory floors with autonomous heavy machinery.
Tim Seward built a 65 MPH electric moped in his garage to one-up his buddies. People wouldn't stop asking where to buy it. So he started Onyx Motors, raised almost a million bucks on Indiegogo in 3 hours… then sold the company for $1. When his successor died unexpectedly, Tim came back to rebuild from scratch. This is that story.
Check out a Podcast I did on The Fleet on the Mission.org podcast network!
What if you could have all the freedom of owning a car without actually owning one? Sampo Hietanen, founder of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and CEO of Aspectu, explains why our transportation system is broken and what's coming next.
Most people see train tracks and think "obstacle." Kevin Damoa sees the ultimate highway hack. After six years in the Army doing rail operations and stints at SpaceX and Northrop Grumman, he's realizing something crazy: America has 140,000 miles of rail that's basically empty while our highways are parking lots.
Just wrapped an eye-opening conversation with Balint Pasztor, CEO of Diffuse Drive over on my IT Visionaries channel. He’s tackling something most of us never think about, but it affects everything from the safety of autonomous vehicles to the future of manufacturing.
Here's what keeps me up at night: AI systems completely fall apart when they hit scenarios they've never seen. Remember that autonomous vehicle incident in San Francisco? That's exactly what I'm talking about.
What happens when you feed an AI its own code and ask it to improve itself? It invents something better, writes a patent for it, and files it. In 8 minutes. Dr. Marcus Weller did exactly that with Deep Invent, and the result made him realize his life had just changed.
In this episode of FUTR.tv, I provide an update on my latest activities and projects. Due to a new day job and the launch of two new podcasts with mission.org, IT Visionaries and The Fleet, as well as "What the FUTR" for FUTRconnect, FUTR.tv episodes have been less frequent. Here are the exciting details about my work with mission.org and FUTRconnect. Stay tuned for new, upcoming FUTR.tv content.
Threadless founder Jake Nichol shares the incredible 25-year journey of building one of the internet's most enduring companies. Starting in his apartment in 2000 with just a hobby project, Jake accidentally invented "crowdsourcing" and created a revolutionary platform that has helped 600,000 artists monetize their creativity.
Today we have with us Evan Floersch, Co-Owner and CEO of the Major League Pickleball team the Texas Ranchers. So we are going to get an inside look at a new and emerging sports league and see how you too could be a team owner, and find out what's in store for this exciting new sport!
