    Food, Stories, and Human Connection with Karl Wilder

    The most memorable journeys aren't always about the places we visit. They're about the people we meet along the way. A shared meal, a conversation with a local chef, or a story told by someone whose life is very different from our own can change how we see the world. In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we welcome Karl Wilder, chef, author, entrepreneur, and Co-Founder of The Chef Tours, a global culinary travel company built around a simple philosophy: food is the excuse, but human connection is the real experience. Karl has built his career around creating experiences that bring people closer to different cultures, communities, and perspectives. He also serves on the Board of Directors of Secret Street Tours in Dublin, a social-impact organization that empowers people affected by homelessness to share their stories through guided walking tours. In Food, Stories, and Human Connection, we explore: Why empathy begins with curiosity about other people How food and storytelling bring different cultures together What travel can teach business leaders about listening Why meaningful experiences matter more than transactions How tourism can create opportunities for local communities What it means to build businesses around human connection 🎙️ Hosted by Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa 🎧 Produced by Martha Huerta Sometimes the most powerful thing a business can offer isn't a product or service. It's an experience that helps us see the world — and one another — differently.

    Are Businesses Outsourcing Empathy?

    What happens when businesses know more about their customers than ever before, but understand them less? In this special episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, hosts Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa explore a provocative question: Are we using AI and technology to better serve people, or simply becoming more effective at influencing their behavior? Inspired by the phrase “Outsourcing Empathy,” Stephen and Tullio examine the growing tension between personalization, persuasion, and manipulation—and the opportunity to use AI to make businesses genuinely more human. In Are Businesses Outsourcing Empathy?, we explore: • Where persuasion ends and manipulation begins • Why understanding customer behavior isn't the same as understanding people • How AI could strengthen empathy rather than replace it • What it means to build empathy into business operations, not just marketing • Why empathy without meaningful action isn't enough • How businesses can optimize for human flourishing, not just conversions 🎙️ With Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa 🎧 Produced by Martha Huerta The future of business isn't just about what AI can optimize. It's about what we choose to optimize for. What if we asked technology to help us build businesses that don't just perform better, but genuinely help people flourish?

    Systems That Fit Real People with Graham Skidmore

    Too many systems ask people to fit into models that were never designed for the full range of human experience. In health, wellness, and work, that can leave people feeling misunderstood, unsupported, or labeled as limited when what they really need is a more individualized path forward. In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we welcome Graham Skidmore, Co-Founder of Harmony Health Institute, for a conversation on Inclusive Innovation for the Future of Wellbeing. Harmony Health Institute was created from lived experience and a belief that people are not broken — many of the systems meant to support them are simply incomplete. Graham has written about the need for systems that support individualized physiologies, especially for people who are neurodivergent or whose experiences do not fit neatly into traditional models. Through Harmony Health Institute, Graham and his team are building a collaborative, whole-person care model designed to bring physical improvement, emotional healing, recovery support, and spiritual growth into one connected approach instead of leaving people to navigate scattered providers on their own. In Systems That Fit Real People, we explore: • Why inclusive systems begin by understanding individuality • How neurodivergent and non-linear experiences can reshape health and work • Why future-ready wellbeing models must move beyond one-size-fits-all care • How leaders can design workplaces that support people as whole humans • What it means to integrate healing, education, tools, and community • Why innovation should restore power to people, not create more complexity 🎙️ Hosted by Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa🎧 Produced by Martha Huerta The future of wellbeing is not about forcing people into existing systems. It is about building systems flexible enough to honor how people actually live, work, heal, and grow.
