    Embracing AI as a Strategic Partner: Allie K. Miller on Unlocking Connected Intelligence

    In a world where the pace of change is compressed into weeks vs years, we can’t help but consider how to stay relevant and on top of innovation so as to not be outpaced.  The AI conversation in the broader marketplace is centered around models, tools and code however in the boardroom and breakrooms, the real story is anchored in the human factor.  How to remain relevant, add value, drive change to compliment artificial intelligence vs be replaced by it.  For many, the underlying unease has little to do with algorithms. It’s about security, identity, and whether they can adapt fast enough to thrive in whatever comes next.    That’s why this episode of The Reboot Chronicles lands with such urgency. Dean DeBiase is joined by Allie K. Miller, one of the most influential voices in artificial intelligence today. Allie is an advisor, investor, educator, and former AI leader at both IBM and Amazon Web Services. With millions following her work and enterprises relying on her guidance, Allie sits at the intersection of capability and everyday reality, translating AI’s fast-moving “what’s possible” into practical, human-centered transformation.

    Reshaping Industrial Distribution: Brian Walker Reimagining Grainger’s Digital Future

    Industrial distribution rarely makes headlines, yet it quietly powers nearly every corner of the modern economy. When factories run, hospitals operate, and infrastructure stands strong, it’s because an intricate and largely invisible supply network is performing as intended. . Today, that network is under pressure from rising customer expectations, global volatility, and rapid advances in artificial intelligence. Even industries built on stability are being forced to rethink how they operate; the question is, can they adapt fast enough?   On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles, we sit down with Brian Walker, Chief Product Officer of WW Grainger. Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, Grainger is a Fortune 500 company generating $18 billion in annual revenue, employing roughly 26,000 people, and delivering more than 30 million products daily to customers across nearly every U.S. ZIP code’ now imagine the global reach. . Brian is leading one of the largest B2B digital transformations in the world, rebooting how industrial, commercial, and government buyers connect and transact at scale; as pressure to modernize accelerates with diminishing margins.  Let’s explore how this 20year veteran is leveraging technology to prove that reinvention is not only possible, but profitable

    From Wall Street to the Gridiron: Joe Moglia’s Playbook for Leadership

    If life had a reset button, would you hit it? Would you have the courage to create parallel paths of greatness giving up the known to pursue your life’s passion? Buckle up for a motivational locker room like discussion with Joe Moglia this weeks guest on the Reboot Chronicles. A leader who’s proven, time and again, that reinvention isn’t just possible, it’s powerful. His career spans two worlds that rarely intersect: the highstakes intensity of finance and the unforgiving grind of college football. And somehow, he didn’t just survive in both — he excelled.    It takes real courage to walk away from the CEO chair at TD Ameritrade, to return to the sidelines and lead Coastal Carolina into a historic transition to FBS competition. Joe’s journey is a playbook for success.  Having the grit to rise from a tough New York upbringing to the top of the financial world, his journey proves that identity is something you build, not something you inherit — and that success can take many forms when you’re brave enough to start over.  Follow along as we navigate between boardrooms and locker rooms to truly understand what it takes to lead under pressure, calculate risk, bet on yourself, and build an identity strong enough to outlast any title.   Follow along as we bounce back and forth between boardrooms and locker rooms to truly understand what it takes to lead under pressure, calculate risk, and how identity drives long-term success, not ambition.

    American capitalism is almost always under scrutiny—whether it’s debates over how to define it or questions about whether it truly serves the average worker.

    How To Reboot Supermarket Shopping Into 21st Century AI Era, Gadi Graus - CEO A2Z Cust2mate

    Supermarkets and grocery stores are a staple of our daily lives. They are a business that most visit weekly and are so used to that they can navigate the aisles blindfolded. This familiarity is due in part to the fact that grocery stores can go decades without modifying their layout. It is the exact type of industry that needs a reboot to bring it into 21st century consumer demands. Imagine an intelligent cart that not only guides you to your favorite aisles and most-purchased items but also surfaces personalized offers so you never miss out on your favorite pleasures.  Imagine a shopping experience that anticipates your needs, transforms routine errands into discovery, and makes the store feel like it was designed just for you. On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Show, we’re joined by Gadi Graus, the CEO of A2Z Cust2mate, who has made all of that a reality—and is shaking up grocery retail with cutting-edge technology. With more than 30 years of experience and a knack for scaling innovation across borders, Gadi brings a unique perspective to the table. He’ll walk us through how AI is transforming stores and reimagining shopper experiences—while also sharing leadership lessons from his remarkable journey, moving from the risk-averse world of law to embracing risk as opportunity in tech.
