Show Notes
We are being told that AI will dehumanize the workplace. But Fortune 500 CHRO Donna M. Brown argues the exact opposite: AI is the only thing that can save us from the drudgery that kills company culture.
In this premiere episode of our new series, "The Augmented Executive," I sit down with Donna to unpack why "bias" in hiring isn't always a dirty word—if you follow her controversial "Running Shoe Rule." We also break down the precise BRIEF framework she uses to stop getting generic robot text from AI and start getting executive-level strategy.
If you are a leader terrified that automation is going to replace your best people, this conversation is your playbook for staying relevant.

The old rules of business did not just change, they vanished. Whether you run a company or manage your own career, relying on past playbooks in an AI-driven economy is a fast track to obsolescence. Revenue advisor Kristin Zhivago, who has led turnarounds for companies from start-ups to IBM, explains why letting go of past pride is the first step of any pivot, why relying on AI alone leads to false confidence, and how listening to real customers shows you where to invest next.

Breaking news: AI just got a body. In this episode of Influential Visions, host Nat Schooler sits down with AI Robotics expert and EU Digital Ambassador Nicolas Babin to explore the rapid transition from Large Language Models (software/text) to Physical AI and Embodied Robotics (hardware/machines). From the record-breaking $16 Billion venture capital surge in Q1 to China’s World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, machines are moving rapidly from task-coded scripts to anticipatory, demonstration-based learning. We dive into real-world factory pilots at Hyundai, Audi, and BMW, the realities of autonomous warfare, EU liability legislation, and how to navigate public fear as physical robots enter our daily lives.

Are your encrypted messages actually private, or is mass surveillance becoming the new normal? In this episode, host Nat Schooler is joined by business strategist Steven J. Manning to dissect EU Chat Control 2.0—the controversial legislative proposal that would force messaging platforms to use client-side scanning directly on smartphones, effectively breaking end-to-end encryption (E2EE) before messages even leave your device. Together, they examine the hidden realities of modern surveillance—from 300,000 mobile apps silently feeding location databases to CCTV networks and retina scanning—while weighing the delicate balance between public safety, child protection, and corporate privacy. What does this mean for executives, business operations, trade secrets, and everyday digital freedom? Episode Timestamps:
