When Joe Santana ran a recent survey on AI tools, 63% of HR professionals who responded thought that introduction of AI would make the organisation more balanced.
But will it?
Or could AI make a company less diverse if it’s not delivered correctly?
In this episode, I talk with Joe about the potential impact of AI on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We discuss how it could affect an organisation’s ability to secure and retain the best talent in the world and consider how it could create a system that is infinitely a gamble.

S2.E19: Goals That Matter – The Deceptively Simple System to Achieve Every Dream

Tell us what you thought about this episode

As an entrepreneur, you know what it takes to get things done: finding a need and filling it, building a business from the ground up to do so. Unfortunately, for many entrepreneurs, their work becomes their life. When people talk about work-life balance you nod along and agree that it’s important, but then turn around and throw yourself back in. You might dream of a 3-month walk-about, or of climbing that mountain, but how on earth are you going to fit that in when there’s always another fire to put out, another emergency that needs to be resolved.
In this episode I talk with Michael Nelson, Author of Goals That Matter – The Deceptively Simple System to Achieve Every Dream, about how to avoid looking back on your life thinking “I wish I had spent more time doing..."
Michael is an entrepreneur, author, ultra-marathoner, and real estate investor. Having created a system to achieve his goals, Michael started sharing it with clients and friends who found a great deal of success with their goals. Having led hundreds of people through his goal-setting system, he decided to write a book to share it even further. Michael’s book is a must-read for every person who desires to take their life to the next level.

S2.E21: Staying Sane in a Volatile World

Tell us what you thought about this episode

The last 18 months have been notable for their volatility.
Opinions have become currency, not always based on fact.
We've seen that we're not that great at predicting the future and, as a result, are never fully prepared - that just makes things more uncertain and leads to more opinions.
How can you separate fact from opinion?
First, remember that you control your perceptions and the energy that you bring to a situation.
Then, remember that everyone sees things differently.
Finally, ask yourself this: What are you prepared to do to prove that your opinion is wrong?
In today's episode, I chat with Marcel Daane about how to stay sane in a volatile world
