Ep. 765: David Weinberger Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio May 24, 2019

Show notes

My guest today is David Weinberger, an American technologist, professional speaker, and commentator, probably best known as co-author of the Cluetrain Manifesto (originally a website, and eventually a book, which has been described as "a primer on Internet marketing"). Weinberger's work focuses on how the Internet is changing human relationships, communication, knowledge and society.

The topic is his book Everyday Chaos: Technology, Complexity, and How We're Thriving in a New World of Possibility.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Through stories from history, business, and technology, philosopher and technologist David Weinberger finds the unifying truths lying below the surface of the tools we take for granted–and a future in which our best strategy often requires holding back from anticipating and instead creating as many possibilities as we can. The book's imperative for business and beyond is simple: Make. More. Future. The result is a world no longer focused on limitations but optimized for possibilities.

Ep. 763: Thales Teixeria Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio May 17, 2019

Show notes

My guest today is Thales Teixeira. Based on eight years of research visiting dozens of startups, tech companies and incumbents, Harvard Business School professor Thales Teixeira shows how and why consumer industries are disrupted, and what established companies can do about it—while highlighting the specific strategies potential startups use to gain a competitive edge.

The topic is his book Unlocking the Customer Value Chain: How Decoupling Drives Consumer Disruption.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

As Teixeira makes clear, the nature of competition has fundamentally changed. Using innovative new business models, startups are stealing customers by breaking the links in how consumers discover, buy and use products and services. By decoupling the customer value chain, these startups, instead of taking on the Unilevers and Nikes, BMW's and Sephoras of the world head on, peel away a piece of the consumer purchasing process.

Ep. 761: Amy Webb Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio May 10, 2019

Show notes

My guest today is Amy Webb, an American futurist, author and founder and CEO of the Future Today Institute. She is professor of strategic foresight at New York University's Stern School of Business, and was a 2014-15 Visiting Nieman Fellow at Harvard University.

The topic is her book The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans and Their Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which the foundations of AI–the people working on the system, their motivations, the technology itself–is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably, thinking and acting in ways which defy human logic. The big nine corporations may be inadvertently building and enabling vast arrays of intelligent systems that don't share our motivations, desires, or hopes for the future of humanity.
