Leading Through Turbulence: Empathy, AI Workflow Economics, and the New IT Playbook | DisrupTV Ep. 451 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a turbulent, over-hyped, and deeply human AI era, what does it actually take to lead well? In this episode of DisrupTV, hosts R "Ray" Wang and Vala Afshar bring together four leaders whose work spans human psychology, national security crisis response, enterprise AI strategy, and M&A IT leadership — and who all arrive at the same essential insight: the technical and the human are not separate problems. Maria Ross, author of The Empathy Dilemma, reframes empathy as information gathering — a pe
How AI and Super Teams Are Redefining Customer Experience and Work | DisrupTV Ep. 450 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the landmark 450th episode of DisrupTV, hosts Vala Afshar and R "Ray" Wang bring together two guests who illuminate the future of work from opposite ends — one from the front lines of AI-powered customer experience, one from the science of what makes teams truly exceptional — and find a coherent argument running through both: the organizations that win will be those that combine disciplined AI deployment with the human habits that turn good teams into great ones. Dave Rhodes, CEO of Verint, s
The AI Reinvention: Rebuilding Business Without Losing Human Intelligence | DisrupTV Ep. 449 (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Brian Solis and Dave Wright, co-authors of Infinite and leaders at ServiceNow, make the case that most enterp

Read excerpt
In Episode 448 of DisrupTV, host R "Ray" Wang brings together three thinkers whose work sits at the intersection of AI, leadership, governance, and global innovation — and who all arrive, from very different directions, at the same essential insight: the real competitive advantage in the AI era is not access to the technology. It is what you do with it. Frank Castora, CEO of Ollion, makes the case that execution is becoming cheap and differentiation is becoming expensive — and that differentiati
Economic Optimism, AI’s New Frontier, and Finding Your 25th Hour | DisrupTV Ep 447 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Christopher Lochhead makes the case that the doom is manufactured and the opportunity is real. He walks through the actual data on new business formation, unemployment claims, and prediction market odds — and argues that the U.S. is in a phase of massive entrepreneurial building, not collapse. He then traces the AI economy’s parallel to the early internet, makes the case for the creator capitalist mindset (tiny teams, massive leverage, net-new categories), and introduces Invest America accounts
