Ep 87 - The AI Native Organization
Software is slipping from “hard to produce” to “easy to generate,” and that single change forces a rethink of how we build companies, teams, and careers. When AI compresses planning, implementation, and iteration, the bottleneck moves away from writing code and t
Ep 85 - Leverage Outruns Wisdom: Systems Leadership In The AI Era
AI is quietly rewriting the org chart, and it’s not because everyone suddenly works faster. The real shift is structural: teams are becoming blended systems of humans, AI agents, orchestration layers, evaluation pipelines, and continuous automation workflows. Tha
Ep 84 - The Philosophical Shift: As Intelligence Becomes Cheap, Evaluation Becomes Everything
AI can generate code, analysis, and recommendations faster than any team in history, but there’s a catch: verification doesn’t scale the same way. When intelligence becomes abundant, judgment becomes scarce, and that scarcity reshapes what “good engineering” and
Ep 83 - Up the Stack: The Five Layers Of The Future Software Engineer
AI can write code faster than any team on earth, so why does it still feel like shipping software is hard? The uncomfortable answer is that speed is not the same as progress, and generation is not the same as judgment. We challenge the tired question “Will AI rep
Ep 82 - A Devs Transformation: New Values Emerge As Code Becomes Cheap
The scariest part of AI in software is not that it writes code. It is that it changes what “being an engineer” even means. When generative AI can scaffold applications, spin up infrastructure configs, draft tests, refactor modules, and debug common failures in mi
Ep 78 - Learn By Building: From Strategy Decks To Working Agents w/ Matt Bartles
“We’ll learn AI once we understand it” sounds responsible, but it’s one of the fastest ways to fall behind. We sit down with Matt to argue for a different approach: learn AI by building with it, in small scopes, with real users, and with the humility to let the w
Ep 72 - The Future of Work: Designing AI-Augmented Roles w/ Vivek Gupta
AI is moving so fast that “keeping up” can start to feel like a losing game and that speed is exactly what’s reshaping the future of work. We sit down with Vivek, an IT services leader building an enterprise AI platform focused on digital foundation and organizat
Ep 67 - RAG Done Right: Measure The Evidence Or Drift Into Error
What happens when a brilliant-sounding AI gives the wrong answer with total confidence? We dig into the quiet culprit behind so many “LLM failures”: retrieval. Rather than judging how smart a model sounds, we walk through how to judge whether it looked at the rig
Ep 64 - Intelligence, Accountability, And You: From AI Slop to Sound Judgement
The pace of AI can feel exhilarating until a polished report collapses under scrutiny and your team spends hours repairing “work slop.” We’re seeing a quiet shift across organizations: as intelligence becomes ambient, leadership’s edge moves from gathering inform
Ep 29 - Future-Proofing w/ AI: Unusual AI Careers
Your dream career in artificial intelligence might not involve a single line of code. Beyond the stereotypical image of machine learning engineers hunched over algorithms lies a vibrant ecosystem of creative, ethical, and deeply human AI careers that are transfor
Ep 0: Introducing Inspire AI
What if automation could reshape not only industries but also the very fabric of our daily lives? Join me, Jason McGinthy, as we explore this compelling question and more in Inspire AI: Transforming RVA through Technology and Automation. Get ready to uncover how
