Giving Agentic AI the Corporate Credit Card

In this episode, Matthew Lehman and Brittney Jones unpack the growing tension between innovation and control.

Beyond the Breaking Point

In this episode of The Chain, Max Henry and supply chain expert Casey Tremblay unpack how global supply chains must evolve in response to what experts are calling a “polycrisis”—a cascade of simultaneous disruptions from pandemics to geopolitical conflicts. They explore why the old model of choosing between cost or resilience no longer works, and why the future lies in flexible, modular, and risk-integrated supply chain design. Tune in to learn how leading companies are reengineering their operations to thrive in a world where disruption is the default, not the exception. This is a public episode.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
