    Ep50 - HEART CENTERED INNOVATION

    Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic. Many of us are in pain, not just from the Pandemic, but from a lack of certainty that tomorrow will be better than today.  The goal of BAUnusual has always been to inspire, elevate thinking and leave you just a little bit better than when you started watching the episode.  In this final episode I share what’s been happening to me over these last few months as a Professional Speaker and how it led me to discover a more useful truth for me to navigate the uncertainty ahead.  Special thanks to Simone Givney , Anita Kropacsy, Kevin Landale and Mitch Lewis who helped me find the clarity I so desperately needed these last few weeks.  What’s next?  A whole suite of resources designed to help people build cultures of Innov❤️tion, Creativity and Entrepreneurial Thinking at work.  Together, I believe we can make tomorrow a better place than today.  Thank you all for letting me share time and space in your life during the series. I’m deeply grateful for your kindness.  Dream, Build, Inspire, Lead 🙏🍀❤️  -AJ~ *** If you enjoyed this episode please give it an appropriate thumbs up on whatever platform you're consuming it on and subscribe for future episodes.

    Ep49 - MAKING AI ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE

    Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic. There’s massive buzz around OpenAI’s GPT-3, but is it really that good or just hype?  To really make sense of this technology, it’s more useful to think of it as Augmented Intelligence rather than Artificial Intelligence.  In other words it’s technology that amplifies existing capabilities - a tool that can be used to increase efficiency.  In this episode of Business as Unusual, I share a couple of mind-blowing examples of how GPT-3 can be used and the one major limitation it has in its current release. *** If you enjoyed this episode please give it an appropriate thumbs up on whatever platform you're consuming it on and subscribe for future episodes.

    Ep48 - SHIFTING THINKING DURING COVID TIMES

    Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic. We used to live in a world where we had set answers to every question asked. And then Covid-19 smacked us in the face, forcing a massive global reality check and causing much uncertainty.  In this episode of Business as Unusual I explore the core idea in one of my presentations - why mindsets need to shift from answers to questions.  It also features a beautiful story from science fiction author Sir Arthur C Clarke who wrote 2001 A Space Oddity.  No wait that was David Bowie. 🤦🏼‍♀️  Either way there’s a cool story in here so check it out.  I hope it inspires you and your teams to reimagine the way business could be done. 🙏🍀 *** If you enjoyed this episode please give it an appropriate thumbs up on whatever platform you're consuming it on and subscribe for future episodes.

    Ep47 - MOTIVATION DURING A PANDEMIC

    Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic. How do you launch a car AND relaunch a global brand in 125 markets amidst a pandemic?!? Nissan Motor Corporation recently launched a new, fully electric SUV crossover named, Ariya.  Being a huge fan of the brand, it immediately caught my attention, but what also caught my attention was the amount of personal stories that many Nissan employees were sharing about Ariya - wayyyy more than the usual corporate pride that MNC employees display.  Turns out there’s an incredible story behind the launch of Ariya because it’s not just a car.  This episode of Business as Unusual reveals incredible lesson in business strategy, innovation and creativity and a great case study on what is possible if we reimagine the way business could be done.  Enjoy Entrepreneurs! 🙏🍀 *** If you enjoyed this episode please give it an appropriate thumbs up on whatever platform you're consuming it on and subscribe for future episodes.

    Ep46 - USING AI TO IDENTIFY DEEP FAKES

    Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic. How does AI detect deep fakes? It’s surprisingly simple! A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a presentation by Professor Hany Farid, a global authority on forensic digital imaging.  It was titled: “Creating, Weaponising and Detecting Deep Fakes” - and it blew my mind! (https://youtu.be/poSd2CyDpyA)  Most of us enjoy the entertaining videos we see online but the exact same technology can be used in unscrupulous ways to misinform and manipulate individuals.  In this episode of Business as Unusual I take a look at how AI is being used to combat the war against deep fakes.  With cameos from Mike Tyson, Snoop Dogg, President Obama and some other president... 🙄 this is a MUST see episode!  Enjoy Entrepreneurs! 🙏🍀 *** If you enjoyed this episode please give it an appropriate thumbs up on whatever platform you're consuming it on and subscribe for future episodes.

    Ep45 - SIMPLE INNOVATION IS BEST

    Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic. Innovation doesn’t need to be complicated, but it needs to be creative. I LOVE this example!  It comes from the wonderful world of Latin Dancing - and really demonstrates what we are capable of when we dig deep to find the courage to embrace constraints instead of complaining about them.  I hope this episode ignites that spark deep within you to do the same.  Go out and dance! 💃🏽 🙏🍀 *** If you enjoyed this episode please give it an appropriate thumbs up on whatever platform you're consuming it on and subscribe for future episodes.

    Ep44 - GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE

    Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic. During these challenging times, there’s an incredible resource to help leaders and teams navigate tough times.  I caught up with Dwain Richardson MD of Corporate Challenge Events, about the launch of their new platform The Pach (http://thepach.com.au)  In this episode of Business as Unusual, Dwain shares what happened to his 25 year old events business when Covid hit and how it led him to reimagine the way he could serve his clients AND others during this time.  I hope Dwain’s story highlights the resilience we have within all of us and inspires us to dig deep to discover gold to serve our customers. 🙏🍀 *** If you enjoyed this episode please give it an appropriate thumbs up on whatever platform you're consuming it on and subscribe for future episodes.

    Ep43 - HOW TO CHANGE CULTURE: LEADERSHIP SIGNALS

    Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic. “The New Normal” isn’t just about a shift in working habits - it’s an entire sociological change in attitudes and behaviours.  Successfully transforming your organisation to thrive in this new era of business will require significant cultural change - the missing linchpin of several failed digital transformations.  As Entrepreneurial Leaders you will be required to shift thinking and behaviour and that starts with you.  This episode explores one of the most powerful actions you can take as a leader to transform culture.  I hope it moves you closer to achieving what the new normal looks like for your organisation. 🙏🍀 *** If you enjoyed this episode please give it an appropriate thumbs up on whatever platform you're consuming it on and subscribe for future episodes.
