Boards want results, teams are buried in proofs of concept, and leaders are under pressure to show progress without breaking trust, budgets, or operations.

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.

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.

3542: Samsara on Scaling Human Expertise With AI, Not Replacing It
Tech Talks Daily
In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Kiren Sekar, Chief Product Officer at Samsara, to unpack how AI is finally showing up where it matters most, in the frontline operations that keep the global economy moving.

info_outlineWhat if the way we work could finally match the way we want to work? At Atlassian’s Team '25, that vision is no longer a distant ideal.
In this special episode recorded live from the event, I sit down with Anu Bharadwaj, President of Atlassian, for an in-depth conversation about the future of collaboration and the company’s newly formalized System of Work.
Anu offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Atlassian is rethinking productivity through a new lens. We discuss how the System of Work unifies teams, tools, and data to drive meaningful outcomes instead of isolated wins.
Anu explains how this framework was designed to move beyond conventional work management tools, helping teams focus not just on doing more, but on achieving more together.
One of the standout innovations is the Teamwork Graph. Built to provide context across tools and departments, it connects strategy to execution with clarity. We explore how this visibility allows leaders to uncover bottlenecks, align resources, and connect the dots between business goals and day-to-day work.
It’s about making the invisible work visible and measurable.
We also dive into Rovo, Atlassian’s new AI teammate designed to elevate rather than replace human contribution. Anu shares how AI tools are being developed to reduce cognitive load, eliminate friction, and give people more time to focus on what truly matters.
By embedding intelligence directly into the workflow, Atlassian is helping organizations reduce the time lost searching for answers and navigating silos.
For leaders looking to modernize their operations, Anu outlines where to start and what to watch out for. Whether you are overseeing enterprise transformation or leading a fast-moving team, this conversation provides a practical view into how the Atlassian platform is helping organizations unlock better outcomes.
What resonated most for me was the shift from chasing productivity to enabling performance. Atlassian is not just enhancing collaboration—it’s helping reshape how teams think, operate, and scale.
If you're curious about the System of Work, the Teamwork Collection, or what was unveiled at Team '25, this episode is for you. It’s a glimpse into the future of work that prioritizes people, aligns efforts, and enables continuous learning.
Let me know what you think. How are you planning to turn insights into action within your team?
