  Doing More With Less: What Nonprofits Can Teach Us About AI — With Agnes Vishnevkin of Disaster Avoidance Experts

  Sep 27, 202630 minS2

  Nonprofits may have the most to gain from AI and the least room for mistakes. When budgets are tight, teams are stretched, and trust is everything, “move fast and break things” is not a strategy. So what does responsible AI adoption actually look like for a mission driven organization? We sit down with Agnes Vishnevkin, COO of Disaster Avoidance Experts, to unpack where AI can create real mission value and why adoption is fundamentally a human challenge. We talk through the psychology of resistance, from distrust and misinformation to fear of being replaced and the stress of changing familiar workflows. Agnes shares what she sees work in the field: respectful change management, training that sticks, and giving people genuine ownership instead of forcing compliance. Then we get concrete. You’ll hear how to spot quick wins, measure success beyond “hours saved,” and build cross departmental AI champions so usage spreads across the organization. We also cover AI governance basics for nonprofits handling sensitive information, including keeping a human in the loop, finding low risk use cases that require no personal data, and why enterprise AI tools matter if you care about privacy and control. If you lead a nonprofit, advise mission driven teams, or want practical AI strategy grounded in trust, this conversation will give you a clear playbook.

  Closing The AI Gap: Women, Power, And AI At Work And Beyond — With Erica Anderson Rooney

  Jun 30, 202641 minS2

  AI is already shaping who gets hired, who gets promoted, and who gets seen, and that should change how we talk about “learning AI.” I sit down with Erica Rooney, executive coach, keynote speaker, and author of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors and The AI Gap: Women, AI, and the Next Great Leap Forward, to look at AI through the lens that actually determines careers: power, visibility, and the systems that define credibility. We dig into the sticky floors that keep even high-performing women playing small, like earning one's worth, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the quiet belief that hard work automatically gets rewarded. Erica shares why AI does not create inequality from scratch, but it can accelerate bias already embedded in hiring, promotions, performance management, and leadership expectations. If AI is trained on patterns where most CFOs and CEOs are men, what does it “assume” a top candidate looks like, and what happens when leaders accept confident outputs without asking why? We also get practical. Erica explains how to move from AI anxiety to AI fluency without becoming an engineer, how to treat AI like a specialized subject matter expert, and how to challenge outputs by surfacing blind spots and requesting diverse comparisons. For leaders, we talk responsible AI, what to audit first, why HR and IT must be involved early, and why you are still accountable for decisions even when a tool recommends them. If you want to build leverage, protect your time, and make sure women help shape what comes next, listen now.

  Scaling Enterprise AI With Trust And People First — With Noe Ramos of Agiloft

  Apr 30, 202631 minS2

  <p>Most companies can spin up an AI pilot. Far fewer can scale AI in a way that people trust, leaders can measure, and teams actually want to use. That gap is where AI operations lives, and it is exactly what we unpack with Noe Ramos, VP of AI Operations at Agiloft, whose work sits at the intersection of enterprise AI, governance, organizational change, and real world execution. <br/><br/>We get specific about what separates “trying AI” from becoming AI capable: treating AI as an operational capability, building accountability structures, and defining success beyond simple adoption metrics. Noe shares a pr...

  AI Agents & the Future of Personal Shopping - Part III & End of Year Thoughts

  Dec 7, 202526 minS1

  <p>Imagine telling your assistant, I need a new phone and plan, please handle it—then watching it compare carriers, apply credits, and schedule delivery while you sip coffee. That’s the promise of agentic commerce, and in this episode we unpack how it’s moving from hype to a real, secure transaction layer shaping how we buy everything from groceries to luxury fashion.<br/><br/>We start by demystifying what “agentic” really means for shoppers: AI that doesn’t just advise but acts, using shared rules like the Agentic Commerce Protocol to authenticate, check inventory, process payments, and confirm orders witho...
