Do you still need convincing that Kurt Berglund probably knows a thing or two about artificial intelligence? Yeah, neither did we...
To say that Berglund is a “Tech Futurist” would be an understatement, he lives his day-to-day life at the forefront of innovation. It’s trailblazers like him who pioneer the trickle-down technology that we all, at some point, use to improve our own professional efficiency. With all of this in mind — you won’t be terribly surprised to see the excitement shine through BizLibrary’s own resident technologist, CRO Chris Elliot, as they deep dive into our industries latest tech trends and their future effect on our lives and roles.
Tune in to hear Kurt & Chris dig into topics like:
- A true expert’s definition of artificial intelligence & generative AI
- The ‘3 Waves’ of AI application & progression
- Understanding the implications of AI on the everyday professional
- The role of gen AI as a method of augmentation, NOT replacement
- Forecasting the long-term trajectory & impact of AI

Optimizing Employee & Leadership Development for Future Success (ft. David Hanrahan)
David Hanrahan, a seasoned HR professional and visionary leader, can boast a uniquely recognizable track record of renowned organizations throughout his career. Allow me to just name a few:
- HR Manager for Universal Pictures
- Director of Human Resources for Electronic Arts
- Director of Human Resources for Twitter
- Vice President of People at Zendesk
- Vice President of People & Places at Niantic, Inc.
- Chief Human Resources Officer at Eventbrite
Now serving as Chief People Officer at San Diego-based software development firm, Flare, it might not be so shocking to hear that his list of proficiencies is about 3x longer than the list above. With areas of expertise including hyper-growth hiring, scaling global orgs in async environments, DEI adoption and strategy and, maybe (definitely...) most important of all, Metallica, we here at L&D Unlocked count ourselves lucky David could spare some time to join us in-between his busy schedule of speaking events.
Joining our host, BizLibrary Chief Revenue Officer, Chris Elliot, David digs deep into episode topics such as:
- Navigating ownership of employee development in organizations
- Launching development programs with no prior knowledge or available resources
- Why effective leadership development isn’t always a budget line-item
- Next steps when experiencing a developmental setback
