Jackson has spent nearly two decades working on critical facilities, and in our conversation he explains how the shift from traditional cloud workloads to dense AI environments is changing everything from building form and cooling strategy to long-term infrastructure planning. What struck me...

How close are we to the moment when quantum computing moves from scientific curiosity to real-world infrastructure? In today’s episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Christian Weedbrook, Founder and CEO of Xanadu, a company pushing the boundaries of what quantum computers might soon achieve. Xanadu has taken an unconventional route in the race to build practical quantum systems. Instead of relying on electronic approaches used by many others in the field, the company builds quantum computers using photonics, effectively computing with particles of light. Christian explains why this...

How can companies invest heavily in AI and still struggle to see meaningful returns? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Thomas Scott, CEO of Wrike, to unpack a growing tension many organizations are facing right now. Artificial intelligence adoption is accelerating rapidly across the workplace, yet the structures needed to support it are struggling to keep pace. Wrike’s latest research into the “Age of Connected Intelligence” reveals that more than 80 percent of employees are already using AI at work. Yet fewer than half have received any formal training,...

Our conversation comes at an interesting moment for the company, following the announcement that Phenom has acquired Be Applied, an AI-driven cognitive assessment platform designed to validate candidate and employee capabilities at scale. The move follows an earlier acquisition...

How does a CISO turn cybersecurity from a technical conversation into a business conversation that boards actually care about? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Thom Langford, EMEA CTO at Rapid7 and a former CISO, to explore what he calls the second phase of cybersecurity leadership. For years, the industry worked hard to secure a seat at the boardroom table. In many organizations, that mission has largely succeeded. But as Thom explains, gaining access was only the first step. The real challenge now is communicating security in a way that drives meaningful business...

What if the next big shift in personal audio is not about blocking the world out, but staying connected to it? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Nicole from Shokz to talk about why open-ear headphones are suddenly everywhere, and why this category is moving from niche curiosity to everyday essential. For years, the audio market was obsessed with sealing users off from the outside world. Now the conversation is changing. More people want to hear their music, podcasts, and calls without losing awareness of traffic, fellow commuters, colleagues, or the world happening...

What happens when the real bottleneck in artificial intelligence is no longer training models, but actually running them at scale? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Satyam Srivastava from d-Matrix to explore a shift that is quietly reshaping the entire AI infrastructure landscape. While much of the early AI race focused on training ever larger models, the next phase of AI adoption is increasingly defined by inference. That is the moment when trained models are deployed and used to generate real-world results millions of times a day. Satyam brings a unique perspective shaped...

How confident are you that your business could recover from a cyberattack, cloud outage, or infrastructure failure in minutes rather than hours or even days? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore the changing nature of enterprise resilience with Joseph D'Angelo and Cassie Stanek from InfoScale, now part of Cloud Software Group. Our conversation looks at why many organizations still rely on backup and replication strategies that were designed for a very different era of IT. In a world of hybrid infrastructure, multi-cloud deployments, and increasingly complex application...
