AI Unlocks $5 Billion in Hidden Green Funding Your Business Could Be Tapping Into
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Dr. Anand Verma, founder and CEO of Expect AI, whose platform Una is solving a hidden crisis: 330 million small businesses contribute half of global emissions yet lack access to climate resources. Verma reveals how Una creates instant carbon profiles from public data alone, connecting businesses to billions in untapped green subsidies and turning a six-month application process into just six minutes. A machine learning pioneer before AI was fashionable, Verma predicts Expect AI will generate $40 billion in savings by 2030 while cutting 500 megatons of emissions. The conversation explores how Una's "climate knowledge graph" builds a neural network of business relationships and opportunities that small companies never knew existed. For immediate results, Verma invites listeners to simply type their company name into Una to discover how AI can simultaneously boost their profits and climate impact without requiring any technical expertise.

Jarvis in Your Laptop: The Decompute Revolution Bringing AI Home
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall interviews Hina Dixit, CEO and co-founder of Decompute, who walked away from a successful career at Apple to tackle a fundamental problem - AI compute access. Dixit reveals how her "LaserTune" technology fine-tunes AI models in just 10 seconds, allowing users to analyze 200-page financial documents on their laptops without ever touching the cloud. The conversation takes a surprising turn when Dixit introduces the concept of "right to forget" - challenging the industry's push toward infinite context windows by asserting that humans deserve privacy in the AI age. Financial firms are already using this technology to analyze complex SEC filings instantly, completely offline. Dixit makes a bold prediction that by 2030, cloud usage will drop below 25% as AI becomes primarily device-based, shifting money and control away from tech giants and back to individuals. For listeners interested in trying this technology, Blackbird is available now for macOS and Windows, offering six specialized agents for finance, legal documentation, research, coding, meetings, and general work - all running securely on your own hardware.

The 72 Appointments Mystery: How AI Agents Are Silently Revolutionizing Business
In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall sits down with Paul Roberts, co-founder of Taalk, who reveals the shocking story of a real estate agent who woke up to 72 appointments booked overnight by an AI assistant.

The conversation uncovers the surprising truth about how AI handles objections better than humans and why some industries risk being left behind in this technological revolution. Roberts shares his vision for 2030, where businesses can launch in multiple countries overnight with AI speaking five different languages across every channel without hiring a single person. This glimpse into the future of customer engagement shows how AI is not replacing humans but instead creating what Roberts calls "the age of the entrepreneur" where anyone with a good idea can scale globally. The episode concludes with Roberts' personal concern about companies using AI to cut corners rather than enhance real connections with customers.
