episode The Creator Economy is Dead. Long Live the IP Economy with Bia Granja cover

The Creator Economy is Dead. Long Live the IP Economy with Bia Granja

Michael talks with creator-economy builder Bia Granja about her hot take that the creator economy isn’t dead, but the attention economy that fueled it is ending as reach becomes commoditized and organic reach declines. Bia argues creators must shift from chasing virality and platform-optimized metrics to building repeatable formats, worlds, and durable IP with multiple revenue streams, while owning direct relationships with their communities through subscriptions and other channels. They discuss how AI accelerates content abundance and makes copying easier, increasing the importance of meaning, trust, critical thinking, and adaptability. Bia also explains why Wall Street, private equity, and Hollywood are focusing less on follower counts and more on underlying assets and franchisable systems.

How AI Is Reshaping Education Beyond the Classroom in 2026 with Christophe Zoghbi

Michael interviews Christophe “Chris” Zoghbi, founder and CEO of Zaka, about how AI is reshaping education and workplace learning, with a focus on the Middle East. Zoghbi shares his path from software engineering and early machine-learning work in 2014 to building Beirut AI and then Zaka to make AI accessible through training, consulting, development, hiring, and governance. He explains how AI is shifting education away from memorization toward practical, personalized, project-based learning, including Zaka’s Seeds K–12 program for students and educators. They discuss corporate AI adoption challenges, the need for contextual hands-on training, and Zoghbi’s mission to build local talent to solve local problems.

episode Lessons from Three Decades in the NFL with Tom Melvin, TE Coach Kansas City Chiefs cover

Lessons from Three Decades in the NFL with Tom Melvin, TE Coach Kansas City Chiefs

Michael welcomes longtime friend and former coach Tom Melvin, current Kansas City Chiefs tight ends coach and three-time Super Bowl champion, to discuss Melvin’s coaching journey from small college football to 14 seasons with Andy Reid in Philadelphia and nearly 14 in Kansas City. Melvin explains how organizational stability, preparation, and managing information overload shape NFL coaching, and why culture fit matters as much as talent, including the value of promoting from within. He describes coaching elite players by setting boundaries rather than scripts, raising standards daily, and embracing personality. The conversation covers habits behind championship success, shared struggle in training camp, responding to adversity, continual innovation in a cyclical game, lessons learned about leadership and humility, sacrifices like family time, and advice for aspiring coaches to love coaching football, not the title.

episode The New Blueprint for Going Global with Your Personal Brand with Sandra Long cover

The New Blueprint for Going Global with Your Personal Brand with Sandra Long

Michael interviews LinkedIn expert Sandra Long about building a global personal brand. Long shares how she moved from B2B sales to helping individuals and organizations leverage LinkedIn, and explains why global reach is easier post-2020 but requires intentional positioning through your profile, network, and content. They discuss defining “local” vs. “global,” the difference between audience and revenue over long time horizons, and the importance of values like Long’s “Be the Friend First,” including an example of a client from Serbia. Long recommends auditing connection geography with Sales Navigator, using warm connection paths (schools, former employers, groups), prioritizing commenting over frequent posting, engaging with posts in other languages via translation, and using AI to check cross-cultural risks and improve discoverability, while not obsessing over the algorithm.

episode Overcoming the PMO and Project Manager Stereotype with Fola Alabi cover

Overcoming the PMO and Project Manager Stereotype with Fola Alabi

Michael welcomes project and strategy leader Fola Alabi to discuss stereotypes about project managers and PMOs and why many are seen as process-heavy status reporters rather than value creators. Fola shares her 20+ year career across government, finance, energy, and other sectors, emphasizing the persistent gap between strategy and execution and the need for project leaders to build business acumen, domain knowledge, and executive-level language to drive measurable value. They explore why PMOs are often built and cut, how PMOs can reposition as strategic partners in prioritization and value realization, and how AI can automate basic reporting while increasing the need for specialized, context-driven leadership. Fola closes with practical guidance: lead with business impact, align to strategy, offer options—not just problems—and execute for benefits realized.
