3550: Signos and the Case for Seeing Your Metabolism in Real Time

What if the biggest breakthrough in weight management is not a new diet, but finally seeing how your body responds in real time? That question sat at the center of my conversation with Sharam Fouladgar-Mercer, CEO and co-founder of Signos, a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and AI-powered health platform built to help people manage weight by understanding their metabolism. January is when motivation is high and the wellness noise is loud, but it is also when a lot of people realize how hard it is to stick with generic advice that does not fit real life. This episode is about why...

3549: Moonshot AI and the Rise of Self-Optimizing Websites
Tech Talks Daily
What if your website could spot its own problems, fix them, and quietly make more money while you focus on building your business? That question sat at the heart of my conversation with Aviv Frenkel, co-founder and CEO of Moonshot AI, and it speaks to a frustration almost every founder and digital leader recognizes. Traffic is expensive, attention is fragile, and even small issues in design or flow can quietly drain revenue for months before anyone notices. Traditional optimization often means long cycles, internal debates, and teams juggling analytics, design tools, and testing platforms...

That question sat at the center of my conversation with Olivia Nottebohm, Chief Operating Officer at Box, and it is one that every boardroom seems to be wrestling with right now.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Garth Fort, Chief Product Officer at LogicMonitor, to unpack why traditional monitoring models are reaching their limits and why AI native observability is starting to feel less like a future idea and more like a present day requirement.

3543: From App Stores to Ownership, Xsolla on Gaming’s D2C Turning Point
Tech Talks Daily
Was 2025 the year the games industry finally stopped talking about direct-to-consumer and started treating it as the default way to do business? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla, for a wide-ranging conversation about how regulation, platform pressure, and shifting player expectations have pushed D2C from the margins into the mainstream. As court rulings, the Digital Markets Act, and high-profile battles like Epic versus Apple continue to reshape the industry, developers are gaining more leverage, but also more responsibility, over how they...

3541: How IBS Software Sees AI Redefining Airline Retail and Loyalty

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Somit Goyal, CEO of IBS Software, to talk about how travel technology is being rebuilt at its foundations. Since we last spoke, AI has moved from experimentation into everyday operations, and that shift is forcing airlines to rethink everything from retailing and loyalty to disruption management and customer trust.

info_outlineWhat happens when one of the world’s most loved productivity tools decides to reinvent itself for the age of AI? At Team 25 in Anaheim, I sat down with Gaurav Kataria, Head of Product for Trello at Atlassian, to unpack the biggest release in Trello’s history and what it means for individuals and teams navigating the chaos of modern work.
Gaurav describes the new Trello as “an AI-powered to-do list,” built not to replace project management tools like Jira but to complement them—especially for those personal tasks, scattered action items, and mental notes that get lost in a sea of email, Slack messages, and SaaS app notifications. With half a million users opting into the beta within 48 hours of launch, it's clear that the new direction is resonating.
In our conversation, we explore how Atlassian is using AI to enhance, not overwhelm, individual productivity—by capturing inputs from everywhere, organizing them intelligently, and helping users block time visually with integrations into Google and Microsoft calendars. This isn’t about automating your life; it’s about giving you clarity and control without friction.
We also talk about how Trello remains deeply personal. From list colors to card covers and mobile widgets, the design philosophy centers on reducing cognitive load and sparking focus. Trello isn’t trying to be a super app. It’s trying to be the app that respects your mental model, works the way your brain works, and empowers you to get meaningful work done on your own terms.
If you’re overwhelmed by task sprawl or skeptical of AI’s growing role in daily workflows, this episode offers a grounded look at what thoughtful, user-centered innovation looks like in action. How do you strike the balance between simplicity, automation, and human creativity? Let’s explore that together.
