    If You Forget the "Three Ps", You're Making a Cyber Criminals Job Easy

    AI and deepfakes are dominating the security conversation, but what is actually causing breaches? David recently talked to Ed Williams, VP of EMEA Consulting at LevelBlue (a 20-year Pentesting veteran who has hacked everything from submarines to rockets) on the back of a new industry report. They chat about the need to explore vulnerabilities hidden in complex supply chains, how AI is a double-edged sword, and why the unglamorous "three P's" of security matter more than the latest technology.

In this episode, Bharat Siyani, VP People and Culture at ELMO Software, sits down with David to discuss the risks and rewards of covert innovation. Learn why AI skills expire in months and how to turn your team into orchestrating "diamonds". The latest 'Tech Flix' documentary is out now!

    Why the ‘Strava for Women’ Pivoted to Basic Safety First

    Former four-time British Champion pistol shooter Anna Rehfisch realised early in her athletic career that sports programming, nutrition, and coaching were entirely built on male defaults. When she set out to build Joyna (envisioned as the "Strava for women") her initial passion and primary goal was to integrate menstrual cycle analytics into training, helping women optimise their performance and understand periods of high injury risk. However, through customer feedback, Anna discovered a much more urgent demand. A need for basic safety. Too many women avoid exercising outdoors for fear of harassment or worse.   Recognising that existing fitness apps base their routing on male-skewed user activity, where a route might be deemed "safe" simply because a group of men ran it, she made the decision to pivot the product roadmap. Joyna delayed the cycle analytics to prioritise building a first-of-its-kind algorithm that generates well-lit, low-crime, and low-isolation routes from scratch, empowering women to exercise outside with confidence.

    The Hiring Shift: Why Critical Thinking Beats Experience in the AI Era

    The Launch Decision That Sparked Cease-and-Desist Letters: Regulating a $95B Industry

    Medical aesthetics is a $95 billion industry, yet it remains shockingly under-regulated. Shirin Krall, founder of MARBL, set out to change this by building an AI-enabled marketplace that identifies safe, high-quality clinics. But doing the right thing for consumers sparked unexpected backlash and cease-and-desist letters from the industry. David Savage explores Shirin's pivot from Revolut, the human impact of opaque tech, and why founders should tackle hard, societal challenges instead of trendy problems.

    Inside the Seismic Legal Fight That Just Rewrote the Rules for AI

    Not every decision that shapes the future of technology happens in a coding sprint. Some unfold slowly, over years and years, and end up in the highest court. Today, we’re looking at a landmark moment for UK innovation. When Emotional Perception AI was told they couldn't patent their artificial neural network, it wasn't just a setback for one company, it threatened to stifle investment and value across the entire tech sector. Our guest, patent attorney Bruce Dearling, architected the arguments that took this fight all the way to the Supreme Court.  We unpack the human resilience behind this legal battle, the friction between government policy and real-world startup funding, and why dragging 50-year-old legislation into the 21st century might be the ultimate key to unlocking the UK’s tech economy.

Anthony Salcito, Coursera VP and General Manager and former Microsoft executive joins David Savage to unpack the AI skills gap. We explore why critical thinking is surging in demand, how governments are rewriting workforce readiness, and why the human element is more critical than ever in an automated world.
