What we share with clients, we share with the world, because in a confusing time, clear guidance matters. Every week, our co-founders—Paul Ford, one of the world’s top tech writers and thinkers, and Rich Ziade, who has led transformations for some of the biggest companies on the planet—explore how AI is changing software, business, and everything else through our podcast, newsletter, and live events, often with fascinating guests from tech, media, and culture. Start with the latest, or dig into the archives. We’ve been at this for a while.
