    Colin Coggins: The Future of Sales in the Age of AI | Ep 1251

    In this episode of The Digital Executive Podcast, Brian Thomas speaks with Colin Coggins about why the future of sales is more human—not less—in the age of AI. Colin, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, adjunct professor at University of Southern California, and GM at Chegg Skills, shares how authenticity, curiosity, emotional intelligence, and communication are becoming the most valuable skills in modern business. Drawing from his experience leading high-growth technology companies and teaching “sales mindset” to entrepreneurs, Colin challenges the traditional view of sales as persuasion. Instead, he explains why the best leaders, founders, and innovators succeed by building trust, embracing imperfection, and asking better questions. The conversation also explores workforce readiness, skills-based education, and how AI may become the first technology powerful enough to narrow—not widen—the opportunity gap. Colin outlines why durable human skills like adaptability, EQ, resilience, and storytelling will define success in the rapidly evolving AI-driven economy.

Drawing from his new book, Indoor Epidemic, Dr. La Puma explains how excessive indoor time disrupts circadian biology, increases burnout, reduces decision quality, and contributes to chronic disease. He discusses practical, science-backed strategies for improving resilience, executive function, and workplace productivity through simple nature-based interventions like outdoor exposure, natural light, and recovery microdoses. The conversation explores the future of “nature as medicine” and why optimizing human biology may become essential for high-performing organizations in the AI-driven economy.

    Saurabh Chauhan: AI Agents Are Replacing Workflows—Not Workers | Ep 1249

    In this episode of The Digital Executive Podcast, Brian Thomas speaks with Saurabh Chauhan, founder and CEO of Peakflo, about how AI agents are fundamentally reshaping enterprise operations. Drawing from his experience at McKinsey & Company and Rocket Internet, Saurabh explains why traditional SaaS models are being replaced by agent-driven systems where humans manage AI teammates instead of executing repetitive workflows themselves. Saurabh shares how Peakflo’s open-source 20X AI Agent Orchestrator enables businesses to automate finance, sales, marketing, and back-office operations with self-improving AI agents that proactively learn, adapt, and collaborate with humans in the loop. He discusses how companies are achieving dramatic productivity gains, reducing month-end close cycles, and scaling revenue without scaling headcount. The conversation also explores the future of “micro unicorns,” model-agnostic AI infrastructure, and why leaders should rethink their org charts around employees managing fleets of AI agents rather than performing manual execution tasks.

    Tor Langøy: Why Cheap Energy Will Win the AI Race | Ep 1244

    In this episode of The Digital Executive Podcast, Brian Thomas speaks with Tor Langøy, Norwegian entrepreneur and founder of Viking Digital, about the critical intersection of energy, finance, and AI infrastructure. Drawing from decades of global experience across companies like BP and Amoco, Tor explains how his deep understanding of the energy sector laid the foundation for building next-generation AI compute platforms. Tor highlights why Norway and Finland are emerging as prime hubs for hyperscale AI infrastructure, citing abundant hydropower, nuclear energy access, natural cooling, and geopolitical stability. As energy constraints tighten across Europe, he argues that the Nordics offer a rare combination of sustainability, security, and scalability for powering data centers. Looking ahead, Tor shares his vision for the future of AI, where “tokens” become the new digital commodity driving massive compute demand. He outlines how success in this new economy will depend on three key factors: access to low-cost energy, efficient compute systems, and affordable capital. With its vertically integrated “neocloud” model, Viking Digital aims to lead this shift—delivering the cheapest and most efficient AI compute at scale in what could become a trillion-dollar market.
