    Crypto Chats: Why Is There a Bitcoin Winter in 2026? With Ravi Sarathy, Northeastern

    Bitcoin is shrinking inside its own economy. Ravi Sarathy explains why the 2026 Bitcoin winter is a story about the rest of crypto growing. Everyone frames the Bitcoin winter as Bitcoin failing. Ravi Sarathy makes the opposite case: Bitcoin's slide is really a sign of how fast the rest of the crypto economy is expanding around it. He maps the full ecosystem, from stablecoins and Ethereum to Solana, DeFi, and tokenized securities, to show why Bitcoin now does fewer of the jobs crypto users actually need. If Bitcoin keeps becoming a smaller slice of a bigger pie, what does that mean for its future demand? This is academic analysis of the crypto economy from Ravi Sarathy, professor and author of Enterprise Strategy for Blockchain. It is not investment advice. 🧊 Why blockchain has been in steady decline and stagnation for six to eight months 🪙 How stablecoins reached a $310 billion market cap, up from $250 billion a year earlier ⚡ Why Solana exists: cheap, high-frequency payments and even agentic AI machine-to-machine transactions 🏛️ How the Clarity Act, the GENIUS Act, and Europe's MiCA are reshaping the crypto ecosystem 🔗 Why blockchains need interoperability, and how Chainlink's LINK token bridges them 📉 Why Bitcoin is becoming a smaller slice of a fast-growing crypto economy 00:00 Intro 00:15 Why We Are in a Bitcoin Winter: The Two-Part Framework 00:53 Bitcoin as Part of the Larger Crypto Ecosystem 01:21 What Is a Crypto Ecosystem? 01:57 Comparing the Financial Ecosystem to Crypto 02:35 How Regulation Is Reshaping Crypto: Clarity Act, GENIUS Act, MiCA 03:09 Why Stablecoins Solve Bitcoin's Volatility Problem 03:48 Stablecoins by the Numbers: A $310 Billion Market 04:20 What You Can Actually Do with Stablecoins 06:30 Programmable Money: Ethereum and Its Use Cases 07:30 Why Solana Exists: Cheap, High-Frequency Transactions 08:03 DeFi Explained: Staking, Yield Farming, and Perpetuals 08:32 Why Blockchains Need Interoperability: Chainlink and LINK 09:39 Tokenized Securities and a More Complex Crypto Economy 10:02 Why Bitcoin Is Becoming a Smaller Slice of Crypto 11:07 Conclusion and What Is Next (Not Investment Advice) About the Host: Ravi Sarathy is a Professor of International Business and Strategy at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business and co-host of International Business Today.

    How to Negotiate to Get What You Want with John Richardson

    MIT's John Richardson trains hostage negotiators and Fortune 500 execs. His #1 rule: never negotiate before doing this one thing first.

    Most CEOs are world-class managers. Bill George says they still lack the one quality that matters most.What AI can automate is disappearing. What remains is deeply human. Bill George, the executive who coined authentic leadership, argues that courage is the skill no classroom can teach — and the one leaders need most right now.George led Medtronic for a decade, growing its market cap from $1.1 billion to $60 billion, while building one of the most values-driven cultures in global business. He explains why leaders who manage upward in fear — whether of a toxic boss or a presidential tweet — will never get the best from their people. And why the real test of a leader isn't strategy. It's whether anyone actually wants to be on your team.About Bill George:Bill George is Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School and former Chairman and CEO of Medtronic, where he grew enterprise value by 60x over a decade. He is the bestselling author of True North and has served on the boards of Goldman Sachs, ExxonMobil, Novartis, and the Mayo Clinic.What you'll learn:🎯 Why authentic leadership is now the gold standard — and what it actually means beyond the buzzword🧠 How Bill lost seven elections in a row and what that crucible taught him about relationships and leadership💡 Why courage cannot be taught in a classroom and how you build it through lived experience instead🔥 How Costco's CEO faced 17 attorneys general, a shareholder suit, and an activist investor — and got 98% of shareholders to back him anyway⚡ Why the skills being automated by AI make human qualities like empathy, compassion, and moral courage more valuable than ever📌 How to build a personal support team that keeps you grounded, bold, and honest with yourselfAbout the Guest:Bill George is Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School and former Chairman and CEO of Medtronic.

    How to Stay Human in an AI World with Doug Atkinson, President of Solutions Review

    AI is coming for knowledge workers first. Doug Atkinson, President of Solutions Review, says 52 million U.S. jobs are rated 7 out of 10 or higher for automation risk. Doug Atkinson founded Solutions Review, a digital media company with over a million subscribers across its platforms. He hosts The Human Conversation podcast, where he explores what humans will need to thrive in an increasingly automated world. What does AI replacing knowledge workers first mean for your career?📉 Why 52 million U.S. jobs rated high for automation risk are held by people with bachelor's and graduate degrees, not blue-collar workers🧠 Why "human in the loop" is mostly corporate PR, and what Doug actually sees happening inside companies adopting AI⚡ How Harvey AI plans to end the billable hour in legal, moving into accounting next, and why entry-level professionals won't see those rungs on the ladder anymore🎯 Why curiosity, resilience, and perspective-taking are the skills 94% of tech leaders say will matter most, and how education is not yet teaching them🌐 Why AI agents are the real killer app, not chatbots, and what happens when the revolution arrives packaged as a friendly sales call💡 The case for becoming a "mentor, orchestrator, and architect" rather than the smartest person in the room About the Guest:Doug Atkinson is the President and Founder of Solutions Review, a digital media organization covering enterprise technology and business innovation.

    How to Invest Without Sacrificing Returns with Matt Patsky, CEO of Trillium Asset Management

    ESG is under political attack in the US. The backlash against responsible investing didn't come from nowhere. Matt Patsky, CEO of Trillium Asset Management, traces it directly to the fossil fuel industry watching its cost of capital rise, publicly traded coal companies go bankrupt, and banks start weighing carbon intensity in lines of credit. That's when the coordinated campaign began.In this conversation, Matt unpacks what's really happening beneath the headlines, why Florida's pension plan still quietly uses ESG data despite the state banning it, and what the shift from greenwashing to "green hushing" means for investors trying to hold companies accountable. He also explains how a $5 billion firm punches far above its weight by building coalitions, and why your own retirement account is already having an impact whether you know it or not.What you'll learn:📉 Why all publicly traded coal companies going bankrupt is what triggered the organized anti-ESG campaign🌍 How the ESG backlash is overwhelmingly US-led and US corporate-funded, while the rest of the developed world moves forward🚨 The shift from greenwashing to "green hushing": companies are still acting on climate commitments but going silent about it💡 How Trillium used shareholder coalition pressure to help unlock recognition of the Starbucks union across 500 stores🔋 Why pushing tech companies to commit to low-carbon energy created an unexpected problem when AI data centers exploded energy demand🎯 Why a utility executive's 30-to-50-year planning horizon is the right model for ignoring short-term political noiseAbout the Guest:Matt Patsky is CEO and Lead Portfolio Manager of the Trillium ESG Global Equity strategy at Trillium Asset Management, one of the nation's oldest and most respected firms devoted exclusively to sustainable and responsible investing. With over four decades in investment research, he became the first sell-side analyst in the United States to publish on socially responsible investing in 1994.

    How to Build Resilient Supply Chains with AI with Nada Sanders

    Over 80% of AI initiatives fail to meet their goals—yet companies can't compete without AI-driven supply chains. The secret isn't more technology; it's knowing when humans must override the algorithms. When COVID hit, every math-based forecasting model failed because AI still runs on historical data. Supply chain expert reveals the collision of three forces reshaping global business: structural transformation from lean/just-in-time to resilient operations, AI-powered autonomous systems, and unprecedented geopolitical volatility. Learn why over 70% of S&P 500 companies now have Chief Supply Chain Officers at the C-suite level, and how companies like Zara use real-time sensors to track customer behavior from the moment a garment is picked up. In the latest episode of International Business Today, host Ravi Sarathy sits down with Dr. Nada Sanders, Distinguished Professor of Supply Chain Management at Northeastern University and past President of the Production and Operations Management Society, to explore: • Why supply chains have moved from back-office function to strategic frontline • How Amazon, Zara, and Unilever run near-autonomous AI-driven supply chains • The 80/20 rule for AI: automate B and C customers, build relationships with A customers • Why AI excels at both short-term efficiency AND long-term scenario planning • How Apple turned a white iPhone production failure into marketing genius • The critical talent gap: young coders who lack domain expertise to override AI • Why 80-90% of AI initiatives fail—and how to avoid becoming a statistic • Skills supply chain leaders need now: communication, negotiation, public speaking Whether you're a supply chain executive navigating tariff uncertainty, a business leader evaluating AI investments, or a student preparing for careers in operations management, this episode reveals why the future belongs to humans who can partner with AI—not be replaced by it. About the guest: Dr. Nada Sanders is Distinguished Professor of Supply Chain Management at the D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University. Ranked in the top 2% of world scientists by Stanford University, she is an internationally recognized expert in forecasting, global supply chains, and human-technology integration. She has served as President of the Production and Operations Management Society (POMS), sits on the Board of Economic Advisers of the Association of Industries of Massachusetts (AIM), and has consulted with Fortune 100 companies including Amazon, Dell, and Lego. She is the author of eight books, including the award-winning "The Humachine: Humankind, Machines, and the Future of Enterprise" (Routledge, 2nd ed. 2024).

    How to Stand Out in the Job Market with Julia Ivy, Executive Professor

    The job market is brutal right now. Julia Ivy has a four-step method that gets graduates hired faster, and it has nothing to do with your GPA.Most career advice tells you to apply everywhere and hope. Julia Ivy built a better framework. The boutique employability method treats your career the same way a business treats competitive strategy: define your multidimensional edge, target the right employers, build trust before asking for anything. Ivy's four-step BE-EDGE framework flips the job search entirely, and in a world where AI is eliminating one-dimensional jobs, it's the only approach that scales.The student who got that CEO response? She had a pre-med background, a web design certificate, and a passion for accessible medical interfaces for visually impaired users. That combination, not her GPA, is what made her unforgettable. Julia Ivy shows you how to find yours.📌 What boutique employability actually is, and why job-focused and growth-focused employability are both becoming obsolete💡 How one student's combination of pre-med, web design, and passion for accessible interfaces landed her a CEO reply in 30 minutes⚡ The three tectonic shifts reshaping work right now: AI, Kondratieff Wave 6, and millennials as decision-makers🎯 Why "strong ties with 3 people" beats weak-tie networking with 100 people at every career fair you've ever attended🧠 The 4 capitals universities actually measure vs. the 3 they're completely missing (and why that gap is costing graduates their first job)🔥 Why 2025 had the lowest first-job employment rate after graduation, and the specific gap in education Julia says is responsible.About the Guest:Julia Ivy is an Executive Professor of International Business and Strategy at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business and founder of BE-EDGE.com. She holds two doctoral degrees, in Psychology and Management, and created the boutique employability framework now used in graduate programs across 22 countries.Northeastern bio: https://damore-mckim.northeastern.edu/people/julia-ivy/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-ivy-phd-psych-phd-mgmt-58877812/Website: https://be-edge.com📖 Get Crafting Your Edge for Today's Job Market: Using the BE-EDGE Method for Consulting Cases and Capstone Projects:Amazon (paperback): https://www.amazon.com/Crafting-Your-Edge-Todays-Market/dp/1789732980Amazon (Kindle): https://www.amazon.com/Crafting-Your-Edge-Todays-Market-ebook/dp/B07SX1C9DWPublisher (Emerald): https://bookstore.emerald.com/crafting-your-edge-for-today-s-job-market-pb-9781789732986.htmlAbout the Host:Paula Caligiuri is a Distinguished Professor at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business and co-host of International Business Today.

    How Digital Twins Are Changing Platform Innovation with Kevin Boudreau, MIT PhD

    Scientists in the same building often never meet. Kevin Boudreau is building AI versions of them to fix that — and what he's finding changes how we think about platforms, collaboration, and who AI actually helps. Kevin runs large-scale field experiments on how knowledge gets created and shared. His digital twins project deploys AI representations of real scientists to interact with each other on campus, lowering the cost of the collaboration that humans keep skipping. His hiring study found the opposite problem: when job seekers knew AI was screening them, the best candidates were a third less likely to apply. AI promised efficiency. In both cases, it's delivering something more complicated.In this conversation with Professor Paula Caligiuri, Kevin connects these findings to a bigger shift: platforms built on crowd knowledge are under pressure, and the organizations that adapt fastest will be the ones that figure out where humans still have an edge. Kevin Boudreau is a Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business, a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a Research Fellow at Harvard's Institute of Quantitative Social Science. 🤖 The digital twins experiment: how AI versions of scientists "go have coffee" with colleagues their human counterparts would never approach 📉 The hiring study result that surprised even Kevin: the most capable candidates opted out of AI-screened jobs at the highest rate 🔒 Why the iPhone App Store model is under structural pressure as the cost of building software approaches zero 🧠 What peer review actually gets right and wrong about organizing knowledge at scale — and why it matters for AI 🔬 Why AI can evaluate existing knowledge well but still can't predict what's genuinely new 🎯 How to design an experiment that generates real learning even if the main goal fails About the Guest: Kevin Boudreau is a Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research uses large-scale field experiments to study platform design, digital twins, AI-enabled organizations, and the economics of scientific discovery.
