#347 Bonus: What a high-inflation economy means for housing? Economist Stephen Koukoulas

Jonathan Pease is Australia's go-to pitch expert, working with executives from the biggest companies in the country.

Here's how AI is completely reshaping the way we present and pitch. In this episode, Jonathan breaks down how AI has commoditised content creation but amplified the need for authentic human connection.

We explore the critical difference between documents and presentations, why vulnerability is your secret weapon, and how to read the room in real time. Plus, Jonathan reveals his MeWe storytelling framework and explains why the future belongs to those who master taste and communication.

Pitch Expert: The Art of Winning the Room (And Closing the Deal)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/f686102f-943f-4a45-be6b-b41f004258d9/transcript

Andrew Sjoquist is building a business at the intersection of two massive shifts: energy and AI infrastructure.

Australia wastes an estimated 7.2 terawatt hours of renewable energy every year due to grid constraints. At the same time, demand for data centres is exploding, driven by AI, cloud computing, and digital  .

WinDC is turning that inefficiency into opportunity.

Instead of building traditional, multi-year data centre projects in capital cities, they deploy modular, shipping container-sized data centres directly next to wind and solar farms. These units can be live in as little as 90 days, using stranded energy that would otherwise go to waste.

This isn’t just an energy play. It’s a structural shift in where and how digital infrastructure gets built.

Topics we cover:

• Why wasted renewable energy is becoming a commercial opportunity, not just a policy problem
• How modular data centres dramatically reduce build time, cost, and risk
• The growing demand for high-density compute (AI) and why traditional infrastructure can’t keep up
• Why waterless cooling unlocks deployment in remote and harsh environments
• Australia’s strategic position in the global race for AI infrastructure
• The fundamental shift: data centres moving to energy sources, not population centres

516 Andrew Sjoquist: How the Future of Business Sits Between Energy and AI

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/63502d89-eeb0-42a9-8e1d-b416005a31f7/transcript

AI agents are changing how businesses operate.

Daniel Vassilev has raised $42 million to scale his company, Relevance AI, which is already helping some of the world’s largest private companies automate entire teams.

I sat down with Daniel to unpack what this shift actually means for businesses and for the workforce, and the practical advice on how people can use AI agents to grow their business.

In this conversation we discuss:

• How AI agents could eliminate up to 50% of go-to-market tasks by 2026

• Why businesses will soon recruit AI agents the same way they recruit employees

• The four levels of AI autonomy every business will experience

• Real examples of companies automating BDR and customer success teams

• Why software engineering is the first proof that AI will transform knowledge work

• How to identify which business processes to automate first

• The change management strategy that actually works
