    Healthcare's New Power Players Won't Be Who You Expect | Episode 40 with Hitesh Vachharajanii

    In this episode of The Insurgent Mindset, Matt and Rondo sit down with Hitesh Vachharajani, a life sciences executive and founder with almost three decades of experience across pharmaceuticals, medtech and diagnostics. Together they explore why many organisations are applying AI to outdated business models, why efficiency isn't the same as transformation, and why the companies that rethink their operating model, not just automate it, will shape the future. From precision medicine and early disease detection to digital healthcare, clinical trials, patient engagement and the changing economics of healthcare, this conversation explores where the industry is heading and what leaders across every sector can learn from one of the world's most highly regulated industries. Above all, it challenges executives to think like insurgents before they think about technology.

    The Companies That Don't Rebuild Their Workforce Will Disappear | Episode 38 with Lisa Christy

    In this episode of The Insurgent Mindset, Lisa Christy joins Matt Tice and Rondo Moses to explore why HR can no longer remain a transactional support function. As AI accelerates the pace of business, organisations must rethink capability, workforce planning, leadership and culture together. The discussion explores why adaptability is becoming more valuable than experience, why CEOs must personally lead AI transformation, and why businesses that fail to build AI capability risk losing both talent and customers. Whether you're a CEO, executive, HR leader or business owner, this conversation challenges long-held assumptions about leadership and offers practical insights into preparing organisations (and people) for an AI-driven future. -- Hosted by seasoned strategy consultants Matt Tice and Rondo Moses, with a combined 50 years of experience, this podcast will challenge you to transcend the status quo and reshape how you think about and approach competing in the business marketplace.  Learn more at www.insurgencegroup.com.    Subscribe to “The Insurgent Mindset” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts or Youtube, and visit us as www.insurgencegroup.com to learn more.    Have questions or topics you’d like us to cover in a future episode?

    The Tokenomics Problem Every CEO Will Soon Face | Episode 37

    In this episode of The Insurgent Mindset, Matt and Rondo unpack one of the biggest paradoxes shaping business today: why cheaper AI is leading to larger AI bills. They explore token economics, the governance challenges facing boards and CFOs, the risks of uncontrolled AI adoption, and why many organizations are focusing on efficiency while missing the much larger opportunity of value creation.  We go beyond cost management to examine a provocative future where AI tokens could become a new asset class, AI-native companies challenge traditional software models, and organizations rethink how value is created. If you're a CEO, executive, board member, or innovation leader trying to understand the economics of AI, this episode offers a framework for thinking beyond automation and toward competitive advantage.  -- Hosted by seasoned strategy consultants Matt Tice and Rondo Moses, with a combined 50 years of experience, this podcast will challenge you to transcend the status quo and reshape how you think about and approach competing in the business marketplace.  Learn more at www.insurgencegroup.com.    Subscribe to “The Insurgent Mindset” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts or Youtube, and visit us as www.insurgencegroup.com to learn more.    Have questions or topics you’d like us to cover in a future episode?

    Your Annual Planning Process Is Killing Innovation | Episode 36

    Every year, leadership teams and boards invest significant time and resources into strategy offsites, planning sessions, and executive retreats. Yet many of these workshops produce little more than incremental improvements, recycled assumptions, and plans that struggle to keep pace with a rapidly changing market. In this episode of The Insurgent Mindset, Matt and Rondo challenge conventional thinking around strategic planning and leadership offsites. They explore why most organizations focus too heavily on resource allocation and execution while neglecting the deeper work of questioning assumptions, widening perspectives, confronting uncertainty, and identifying emerging opportunities. From AI disruption and scenario planning to customer involvement and board engagement, this conversation offers practical insights for leaders who want to move beyond annual planning exercises and build more adaptive, resilient, and insurgent organizations. -- Hosted by seasoned strategy consultants Matt Tice and Rondo Moses, with a combined 50 years of experience, this podcast will challenge you to transcend the status quo and reshape how you think about and approach competing in the business marketplace.  Learn more at www.insurgencegroup.com.    Subscribe to “The Insurgent Mindset” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts or Youtube, and visit us as www.insurgencegroup.com to learn more.    Have questions or topics you’d like us to cover in a future episode?

    Why Most Leadership Teams Are Already Behind | Episode 35 with Julie Toma

    In this episode of The Insurgent Mindset, we sit down with Julie Toma to explore why innovation often dies inside established organizations, how boards can either accelerate disruption or completely block it, and why curiosity, courage, and psychological safety are becoming essential leadership traits in a rapidly changing world. Julie shares insights from her experience across healthcare, marketing leadership, governance, and board strategy — unpacking everything from AI adoption and customer disruption to why fear of failure quietly destroys growth cultures from the inside out. We also dive into the changing role of modern marketing leaders, the growing importance of customer insight and strategic curiosity, and why the best organizations are actively “seeing around corners” before competitors do. This conversation is essential listening for executives, founders, board directors, marketers, and leaders trying to navigate uncertainty without becoming obsolete.

    The Architecture of Learning, Storytelling, and Challenger Thinking with Jamie Engel | Episode 34

    What if the future of learning isn’t about better content—but better design? In this episode, Jamie Engel, founder of Neutopia, breaks down the “architecture of learning” and why most organizations get it wrong. Drawing from a career spanning film, storytelling, and education, he reveals how the convergence of platform, program, and people creates transformational learning experiences—and why storytelling is the most underrated leadership skill in modern business. This conversation explores how leaders can build true learning organizations, harness AI without losing critical thinking, and create cultures driven by curiosity, community, and adaptability. From the hero’s journey as a framework for education to the role of emotion in decision-making, this episode challenges conventional thinking and offers a new blueprint for designing experiences that actually change people—and organizations—for the better.

    Your Next Customer Won’t Be Human: Competing in an AI-Driven Market with Katja Forbes | Episode 33

    What happens when your next customer isn’t human? We sit down with Katja Forbes (author of Machine Customers) and break down the rapid rise of agentic commerce and what it means for business strategy, customer experience, and competitive advantage. With AI agents already making purchasing decisions and retail agent traffic surging by thousands of percent, the shift is already here, and most leadership teams are underestimating just how fast this transformation is unfolding. This conversation explores how AI-powered buyers are reshaping markets, commoditizing brands, and forcing a rethink of everything from marketing to trust to organizational design. From “algorithmic moats” to value-based differentiation, Katja outlines what it takes to stay competitive when machines, not humans, are evaluating your business. If you’re thinking about AI, digital transformation, or the future of commerce, this episode delivers a clear signal in a world full of noise.
