    Backing NZ's Space Advantages with Sheridan Broadbent

    Sheridan Broadbent has spent her career moving between the boardroom, the racetrack, and now the final frontier. With a background in C-Suite and governance roles on some of New Zealand's most significant organisations and boards, she's built a reputation for bringing sharp thinking, genuine passion, and a refreshingly direct leadership style to complex industries. Sheridan recently returned from the 41st Space Symposium in Colorado Springs with a clear message: New Zealand has the ingredients, the talent, and the natural advantage - but needs the ambition and investment to match. In this episode, we talk risk, AI governance, sovereign resilience, and what it will take to realise our advantage in the space sector.

  2. How to Build Cultural Relevance in the Age of AI with Shaun Singh

    How to Build Cultural Relevance in the Age of AI with Shaun Singh

    Shaun Singh is the founder and CEO of Death to Stock (DTS), a visual production and licensing platform. DTS operates as a continuous production engine, releasing 400–500 new images each month, informed by an in-house cultural research team. Each image is produced as a cultural signal, something brands can license and deploy immediately to stay current, rather than relying on static libraries or delayed interpretation. Based in Auckland, Shaun built DTS into a global company working across Berlin, New York, London, LA, Tokyo, and Paris. His work focuses on how visual culture moves ahead of language, and how taste, timing, and direction are becoming the real advantage in an AI-driven landscape. We discuss: · How he accidentally started a global production + taste system built around cultural timing  · The role algorithms play in the erosion of personal style · Where AI is helping independent creatives, and where it might be hurting them Shaun on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-singh-64b32b262/ DTS website: https://www.deathtothestockphoto.com/ Follow us on Instagram: @humaninthelooppodcast Find us on LinkedIn: Alaina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alaina-luxmoore/ Hamish: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hafriedlander/ Danu: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danuabey/ Sign up to The RUSH newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hmARzL Follow us on Instagram: @humaninthelooppodcast Find us on LinkedIn: Alaina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alaina-luxmoore/ Hamish: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hafriedlander/ Danu: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danuabey/ Sign up to The RUSH newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hmARzL Email alaina@rushdigital.co.nz if you have feedback, comments, questions or compliments Hosted on Acast.
