Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast delves into themes of entrepreneurship, technology innovation, and market disruption. Episodes cover topics like responsible AI in business, the evolution of software engineering practices, and the significance of no-code solutions for startups, with examples including conversations with Rakesh David about AI adoption challenges and Jorge Lana on building a transformational business ecosystem.
If you were to speak to B2B leaders about growing business, you’d see that business growth can usually be divided into levels – and each level requires a new set of tactics or strategies to get to the next.
But we each, especially in the B2B space, also operate in some zone of genius that we aim to contribute to others. Some in saturated markets where they need to break free. Others in emerging markets where they need to achieve salient clarity.
Either way, we saw they needed a platform to speak their mind.
Which is why we started the Genius Scale podcast.
