Corporate Elements

Hosted by Robbie & Johnny

The world has no shortage of leadership experts, executive coaches, consultants, academics, and industry specialists. Yet, many professionals and organizations still struggle to find the right expertise, practical solutions, and guidance to navigate today’s evolving workplace. At the same time, exceptional experts often struggle to communicate their value and connect their knowledge with the people who need it most. Corporate Elements exists to bridge that gap. Hosted by Robbie and Johnny, Corporate Elements brings together accomplished executives, founders, entrepreneurs, academics, and thought leaders to explore the real challenges facing today’s professionals and businesses. Through practical, experience-driven conversations, we uncover the strategies, frameworks, and insights that help people lead better, build stronger organizations, advance their careers, and navigate an increasingly complex business environment. But we go beyond conversations. We give experts a platform to simplify their work, demonstrate the value of their services, and share their expertise with a relevant professional audience. For business leaders, decision-makers, and ambitious professionals, we offer a way to discover new perspectives, understand emerging solutions, and learn from people who have tackled these challenges firsthand. With an audience spanning Western and Asian markets, Corporate Elements is building a global bridge between the people who develop expertise and the people who need it. As we work towards expanding this vision through a dedicated website and platform, our ambition is to create a connected ecosystem where knowledge becomes accessible, expertise finds its audience, and meaningful professional relationships lead to real-world impact.

    After building and selling a marketing agency, becoming an AI entrepreneur, and speaking with nearly 1,900 CEOs about AI adoption, Brett Schklar has developed a practical perspective on what it takes to lead in an AI driven world. He is also the author of AI Without the BS: The CEO’s Playbook for ACTUALLY Getting AI Right.

    Your AI Isn’t Broken. Your Organization Is. | Rob Broadhead

    Our guest today is Rob Broadhead, a Fractional CIO, software architect, entrepreneur, founder of RB Consulting, and host of the Develpreneur Podcast. With more than 30 years of experience helping organizations navigate technology, leadership, and digital transformation, Rob has learned a simple truth: Most technology projects don’t fail because of the technology. They fail because of unclear ownership, poor communication, broken workflows, and weak execution. In this episode, we explore why so many organizations struggle with AI adoption despite investing heavily in new tools. Rob explains how AI often exposes existing organizational problems rather than creating new ones, why operational debt silently slows businesses down, and how leaders can determine whether their organizations are truly ready for AI. We also discuss trust in the age of artificial intelligence, the hidden friction that exists between departments, why more software doesn’t always mean more productivity, and the leadership principles that help organizations scale successfully. If you’re a leader, founder, manager, entrepreneur, or professional trying to navigate the future of work, this conversation offers practical insights you can apply immediately.
