How AI is Saving Lives: Fixing a 150-Year-Old Healthcare System with Andy Moye
2026/09/18
Welcome to another episode of The Future of Business. Today, we dive into how artificial intelligence is actively breaking down the barriers of a slow-moving medical system. I am joined by Andy Moye, a former Navy pilot with a PhD in health economics who previously led Page to secure the first-ever FDA approval for AI in cancer pathology. Now serving as the CEO of GlidePath Health, Andy is building AI platforms to untangle the complex logistics behind advanced cell and gene therapies. We discuss the alarming 14-year technology adoption lag in healthcare, the devastating impact of administrative waste, and how AI orchestration will drastically shorten the time it takes for patients to receive life-saving treatments. Key Takeaways Cancer diagnosis still relies heavily on manual pathology methods that have remained fundamentally unchanged since the mid-1800s. The healthcare industry suffers from a massive adoption lag, where cutting-edge technology often takes up to 14 years to become standard practice. System backlogs have historically forced patients to wait 40 to 50 days just to receive a critical cancer diagnosis. Groundbreaking, curative cell and gene therapies like CRISPR and CAR T are severely bottlenecked by manual scheduling processes, spreadsheets, and phone calls. GlidePath Health is developing an enterprise AI orchestration platform to fully automate these logistical workflows, ensuring patients are treated faster to improve outcomes. Deploying AI in healthcare requires immense trust, rigorous data protection, cybersecurity compliance, and 99.9999% system uptime to ensure patient safety.

The AI Data Crisis: How Synthetic Data Fixes It
2026/09/04
In this episode of The Future of Business Podcast, Jay Dhillon sits down with veteran AI architect Jitendra Devabhaktuni to solve the biggest bottleneck in enterprise artificial intelligence: data privacy. Jitendra explains how businesses can utilize synthetic data systems to train and test powerful AI models without ever touching a single piece of real customer information. Key Takeaways: Discover why training AI on synthetic data is exactly like using a flight simulator to safely train pilots. Learn how the banking industry takes fraud transactions—which make up less than 1% of data—and multiplies them into millions of records to proactively train AI models. Understand how synthetic data enables life-saving research on rare cancers when access to real patient data is restricted. Find out why the EU AI Act is shifting from a roadblock into an accelerator, pushing enterprises toward synthetic data solutions. Hear why the modern AI advantage is no longer about having the most intelligent language model, but having frictionless access to data. About the Guest: Jitendra Devabhaktuni spent over 20 years managing digital transformations and ERP programs for large enterprises. He is the founder of LagrangeData.ai and the creator of the Synthol suite, which includes Synthol DB, Synthol Dataset, and Synthol Data Shield.

Former Apple President on Saving Apple, Bringing Back Steve Jobs & Why Apple Missed The AI Revolution
2026/08/28
In this episode, we sit down with Marco Landi, the former President and Chief Operating Officer of Apple Computer. Marco shares the inside story of how he turned a $300 million loss into a profit in just 12 months, the strategic decision to bring Steve Jobs back to the company, and his transition into the world of artificial intelligence. We break down exactly why Apple fell behind in the AI race, the future of AI in digital media, and the massive untapped opportunities for founders building AI solutions today. The AI Data Goldmine: Small and medium-sized enterprises should focus on building Small Language Models (SLMs) using their own proprietary data rather than relying entirely on large, public LLMs. Compliant AI Platforms: There is a massive market gap for AI media platforms and studios built entirely on legally compliant, "agreed" data to protect creators from copyright risks. The Future of Digital Media: The democratization of film production means anyone with a great story can compete globally using generative AI tools. Connecting the Dots: The decision to acquire NextOS over BeOS not only brought Steve Jobs back but fundamentally changed the trajectory of global technology. 00:00 - Welcome Marco Landi to the podcast. 02:05 - Turning Apple around: How Marco shifted a $300M loss into a profit. 05:35 - The inside story of bringing Steve Jobs back to Apple. 10:18 - What it was really like working alongside Steve Jobs. 11:38 - Why Apple completely missed the AI revolution. 12:00 - What Steve Jobs would have built with AI technology today. 14:10 - Transitioning from Texas Instruments to pioneering AI expert systems. 17:37 - Launching the World AI Cannes Festival and the World AI Film Festival. 20:00 - How traditional business founders must navigate the AI revolution. 21:20 - Why protecting your company’s internal data is crucial for AI integration. 30:00 - The biggest unchartered business opportunities in the AI sector right now. 38:52 - Preparing the next generation for an AI-native world.

AI Has a Problem And Most Businesses Don’t Understand It! With Technology Expert Giancarlo Erra
2026/08/21
AI Has a Problem And Most Businesses Don’t Understand It AI is moving faster than most businesses can keep up with. But according to Giancarlo Erra, the biggest problem with AI isn't necessarily the technology. It's understanding it. In this episode of the Future of Business Podcast, Jay Dhillon sits down with Giancarlo Erra Lead AI Consultant at Altaire, technology entrepreneur, AI strategist and technology professional with more than 25 years of experience. Giancarlo has spent years helping businesses understand and implement emerging technology, and his perspective on AI goes well beyond the usual hype. We discuss what AI really is, why it can appear intelligent without actually understanding what it's saying, and why businesses need to slow down and understand the technology before rushing to implement it. Why AI isn't actually as new as many people thinkWhat really changed when ChatGPT arrivedWhy generative AI became so transformativeThe biggest problem Giancarlo sees when working with businessesWhy knowledge and understanding are more important than simply having access to AIWhy businesses are moving from being afraid of AI to feeling they desperately need itWhy enthusiasm for AI can actually become a problemWhy giving employees AI tools isn't enoughThe importance of training your people before implementing AIHow AI actually works — explained in simple termsWhy AI can produce convincing but incorrect answersWhy you should never blindly trust AIThe importance of context when using AIHow businesses can get better returns from AIWhether AI will replace jobsWhy AI could have a major impact on young people entering the workforceWhy education needs to changeWhy soft skills could become the new hard skillsThe importance of critical thinking, communication and reasoningWhether we're currently experiencing an AI bubbleWhat excites Giancarlo about the future of AIWhat concerns him most about where AI is headingThe AI race isn't simply about who adopts AI first. It's about who understands it well enough to use it properly. As Giancarlo explains during the conversation, businesses can move extremely quickly towards AI while the people actually expected to use it haven't caught up. That gap could become one of the biggest challenges — and opportunities — for businesses over the next few years. Giancarlo Erra is a technology entrepreneur, AI strategist, public speaker and Lead AI Consultant at Altaire, with more than 25 years of experience in technology. He has worked with businesses on AI, technology and digital transformation and has delivered AI training to organisations looking to understand how to use the technology effectively.

Why 80% of AI Success Has Nothing to Do with Tech..
2026/08/07
Why 80% of AI Success Has Nothing to Do with Tech In this episode of the Future of Business Podcast, we sit down with Alex Velinov, Vice President of AI and Technology at MDG and author of the In AI We Trust newsletter. Drawing from a 35-year background that spans audio engineering and enterprise technology, Alex shares why successful AI integration is actually an 80% people challenge and only a 20% technology challenge. Alex engineered the advanced AI systems that fueled Tag Digital’s hyper-growth and ultimate acquisition by Freeman, and he breaks down the practical frameworks, risk-mitigation strategies, and human psychology needed to bulletproof your business in the AI age. We explore the hidden dangers of "Shadow AI," the step-by-step process of building internal digital employees, how search is shifting toward Large Language Model optimization, and why non-digital trade skills might be the most sustainable business opportunity of the next decade. Key Takeaways & Business Insights The 80/20 Rule of AI: AI technology is simple (binary logic), but human beings are complex. Overcoming workplace habits, fear, and friction accounts for 80% of an AI project's success or failure. The Danger of Shadow AI: Banning AI tools inside an enterprise does not stop employees from using them; it forces them to use personal accounts, leading to severe confidential and proprietary data leaks. Building an Internal AI Employee: Learn how Tag Digital built "Apollo," a 24/7 internal AI agent integrated into Slack, trained on company SOPs and HR data to eliminate repetitive internal questions. The "Bring Your Own AI" Future: Job candidate assessments are shifting from traditional credentials to candidates presenting the custom AI systems and agents they have personally built to solve problems. LLM Optimization (The New SEO): Driving organic visibility now requires structuring your website data with schema markup, publishing clear answer-based FAQs, and building brand authority across platforms like LinkedIn. Transparency Over Deception: When using AI-generated avatars or digital brand ambassadors, absolute transparency builds trust, whereas trying to trick audiences into thinking an avatar is human causes friction. 00:22 - Introduction to Alex Velinov and his background bridging audio engineering and enterprise AI. 01:57 - How a 35-year background in music shapes a human-centric approach to tech. 07:09 - The 80/20 Rule: Why human psychology is the hardest part of AI adoption. 08:35 - Two paths for workers in the AI age and the rise of "Bring Your Own AI". 11:42 - What "Shadow AI" is and why banning AI tools causes catastrophic data leaks. 17:56 - Scaling Tag Digital: Combining automation and LLMs to increase client volume without inflating headcount. 20:42 - The blueprint for building "Apollo," a 24/7 internal AI employee inside Slack. 29:33 - AI Avatars & Digital Influencers: Why transparency beats deception in marketing. 33:03 - The VECTR Framework: A practical method to audit, deconstruct, and AI-enable B2B workflows. 34:18 - Advice for small businesses: Securing your core data blueprint from day one. 44:42 - Optimizing for Large Language Models: How search and SEO are changing. 48:39 - Alex’s go-to AI tools: Claude, ElevenLabs, Midjourney, and workspace integrations. 57:39 - The contrarian view: Why non-digital trade businesses are a massive opportunity.

AI Isn't the Real Disruption. It's the 85% of Future Jobs You Aren't Planning For
2026/07/01
85% of the jobs we’ll be doing in the next decade haven’t even been invented yet! Are you preparing for them, or panicking about AI? Most people underestimate how rapidly the future of work is changing, but my latest guest on the Future of Business podcast has a completely different perspective. Christopher Bishop is not your average workplace futurist. He has successfully navigated eight distinct careers from touring as a rock musician and to becoming a corporate tech strategist managing $3 billion portfolios at IBM. Today, he’s a TEDx speaker, deep tech master, and the author of Improvising Careers: Succeed at Jobs That Don't Exist Yet. He also serves as a guest lecturer on the future of work at prestigious institutions like NYU and the London School of Economics. When someone with that kind of nonlinear, multi-modal career path talks about the future of work, you take notice. If you are a business leader or a professional trying to navigate the rise of AI and Quantum Computing, Christopher says the worst thing you can do is panic. Instead, you need to "chase the maelstrom" go where the chaos is. In this masterclass of an episode, we break down: *Why AI isn’t a crisis: It's a "constellation" of technologies (from Google Photos to autonomous vehicles) pushing us up the value chain, while humans remain the ultimate decision makers. *The Quantum Leap: How to build a "Quantum-Safe" business as giants like Google and IBM race to secure cybersecurity against exponential processing power. *The Evolution of Industry: How disruptive innovations threaten traditional roles like accountants and welders, yet simultaneously create massive new opportunities. *The Future-Proof Toolkit: The exact 3-step strategy you need to build career adaptability today. Perfect for entrepreneurs, professionals, and students alike, this conversation proves that resilience and curiosity are your biggest assets.
