The Digital Storm Weekly Podcast

Dr. Joerg Storm

Digital Storm Weekly is your front row seat to the technologies reshaping the world of business, leadership, and innovation. Each episode explores the most important global trends in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, not as abstract concepts, but as real strategies being applied inside today’s most forward thinking companies. We sit down with company founders, CEOs, operators, and senior decision makers who are actively building the future. These are leaders who do not just talk about innovation, they institutionalize it. From AI adoption and automation to data driven decision making, platform thinking, and new operating models, we uncover how modern organizations turn technology into a competitive advantage. Digital Storm Weekly goes beyond headlines. We decode why certain technologies matter, how companies are integrating them into daily operations, and what separates organizations that adapt early from those that fall behind. You will hear firsthand insights into how innovation becomes a habit, how culture evolves alongside technology, and how traditional industries are being quietly reinvented from the inside. Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, investor, technologist, or strategist, this podcast is designed to sharpen your perspective and expand how you think about the future of work, leadership, and scale. The storm is already here. Digital Storm Weekly helps you understand it, and lead through it.

    Luxury Hospitality Rewired: How AI Is Redesigning Premium Guest Experiences

    What if the future of luxury isn’t more technology but more humanity? And what if the most innovative CEOs aren’t racing forward, they’re slowing down to listen? For this episode of Digital Storm Weekly, I had the rare privilege of sitting down inside the iconic Schloss Elmau with its visionary CEO, Dietmar Müller-Elmau, a tech founder who built a global hotel software empire, sold it to Oracle, and then rebuilt one of Europe’s most admired luxury destinations from ashes. In this conversation, he breaks every myth people have about AI in hospitality. No robots at the door. No soulless automation. Instead, a radical philosophy: technology should create freedom, not control. And imperfection is not a flaw, it’s the essence of human connection. We went deeper into how silence fuels innovation, why skepticism is the true superpower of modern leaders, and how luxury hotels must redesign themselves for a world where search, booking, and travel decisions are increasingly shaped by large language models. The result is one of the most thought-provoking dialogues we've had on the podcast yet. We are discussing: AI is powerful, but the quality of your questions determines your resultsHuman touch becomes more valuable as automation risesInnovation requires constant skepticism, not comfortSilence and creative isolation are underrated tools for leadershipThe future of luxury travel belongs to brands that rethink how AI shapes discovery and decision-making What part of luxury do you believe should never be automated?
