  • Ambient Intelligence: Bringing Objectivity To The Physical World
    Oct 13 2025

    What if airport “random checks” relied less on hunches and more on measurable behavior? CEO Galvin Widjaja of Lauretta AI explains how ambient intelligence can contextualize actions in physical spaces to reduce bias and improve safety without using facial recognition or permanent IDs. He shares the design choices behind “privacy by design,” why removing priors matters, and how behavior-first data can make decisions fairer at checkpoints, venues, and city streets.

    You’ll learn:

    • How “ambient intelligence” interprets narratives of behavior rather than identities
    • Practical ways computer vision can add objectivity without biometrics or long-term data retention
    • Where legislation helps and where product design must lead
    • Why more data can shrink the role of stereotypes in frontline decisions
    • What breakthroughs in vision models mean for robotics and everyday tools

  • Empowering Neurodivergent Voices In A Tech-Driven World
    Oct 6 2025

    What if 80% of capable autistic adults are unemployed or underemployed while companies still struggle to hire for quality and speed? CEO Tara May shares how a Chicago‑born team built a high‑performing, neurodivergent workforce delivering user testing, accessibility, and cybersecurity - and why excellence, not just mission, keeps clients returning. You’ll hear practical tactics for matching strengths to business needs, creating psychological safety that unlocks performance, and using AI thoughtfully to support communication, learning, and delivery. Tara also unpacks the risks of AI‑driven hiring filters, the growing demand in cybersecurity, and candid lessons from parenting and leading with clarity and care.

    You'll Learn:

    • Practical ways to map individual strengths to real client work
    • How psychological safety drives quality, speed, and retention
    • Why mission opens doors but proven execution wins contracts
    • Roles where neurodivergent talent thrives across the org, not just QA
    • A lightweight approach to continuous upskilling as tech shifts
    • Using AI to augment communication and learning without leaking IP
    • Pitfalls to avoid, including screening bias and widening digital divides

  • Fitness in the Future: Technology Meets Tradition at XGym
    Sep 22 2025

    Can a 21‑minute workout twice a week rival seven hours at the gym? PJ Glassy, founder of XGym, explains the science and systems behind ultra‑efficient “time under tension” training, how nerve training boosts coordination and results, and why chasing complete muscle fatigue matters more than gadgets. You’ll hear how XGym blends controlled reps, method cycling, and smart equipment like load‑cell winch machines, vibration platforms, and precise VO2 and body‑comp testing to deliver strong, lean outcomes without bulk. We also dig into wearables, the promise and limits of AI coaches and robotics, and why EMF awareness and hard work still beat any shortcut.

    What you’ll learn:

    • How to structure a 3‑minute set for strength and endurance without joint‑pounding loads
    • A simple diet experiment framework: commit 100% for 3 months to find what actually lowers body fat
    • When Mediterranean vs. low‑carb approaches make sense, and how to avoid common fitness plateaus
    • Practical ways to use fitness tech for feedback and motivation without letting it replace fundamentals
    • Why “train to true fatigue” is the lever that drives strength, definition, and real‑world fitness

    This conversation is for anyone who wants more fitness in less time, with a clear path to sustainable progress and smarter use of technology.
