Julian Reeve, a keynote speaker and burnout specialist, argues that AI changes what we do but not who we are, and that our edge in the age of AI is an "unmistakable identity" built on identity, creativity, and judgment. Drawing on the stress-related heart attack that reshaped his career, he reframes burnout as a systems problem rather than a personal failure and gives leaders a practical toolkit — the four C's for working with AI, and simple equilibrium habits — for staying human and effective as work changes.
Marcelo SanMartin, a technology and business transformation executive, lays out a pragmatic approach to AI: why buying tools isn't the same as transforming a business, and what digital transformation really looks like in the age of AI. The conversation covers rebuilding roles rather than handing out subscriptions, starting with a company's most explosive roles, why AI creates jobs rather than only cutting them, when to move fast versus slow, and why creativity becomes the real edge.
Anuj Gupta, Founder and CEO of SimForge, explains why physical AI — machines that move through and sense the real world — could be the next major leap, and why simulation and synthetic data are the foundation for training it. The conversation covers democratizing autonomous driving with digital twins built from dash-cam and aerial data, the hardest parts of building against billion-dollar incumbents, testing every corner case so we are not using humans as guinea pigs, and Gupta's journey from Civil Maps and Cruise to founding SimForge.
Alisha Outridge, creator of the AI Founder Playbook and a 15-year product leader at Meta, Reuters, and TuneCore, explains why most AI founders build products nobody will pay for — and how to think like a product leader before an AI builder. The conversation covers building "on rented land," mapping your competitive terrain, avoiding "productivity theater" with clear Northstar metrics, what separates founders who ship, and why, by 2030, AI will change everything except us.
