On the latest episode of the podcast Greg spoke once again with a regular guest, Paul Niland who has been living in Kyiv in Ukraine for nearly 24 years.

Paul who is originally from Ireland, is a journalist, a political commentator and the founder and CEO of Lifeline Ukraine, a national su***de prevention service.

As always Paul provides us with brilliant insights from within Ukraine’s capital city - he spoke about the routine attacks by Russia, Orban’s defeat in Hungary, EU membership, Trump the Russian asset, and the drone expertise which has allowed the Ukrainian military reach deep into Russia and provide their citizens their first taste of what it is like to experience fear during this pointless war that was started by Putin.

He also talks about music and how it reflects the unbreakable spirit of Ukrainians and the role it is playing in the inevitable path to Victory!!

Hoping for a Great Summer!!

OK, that was May put to bed and while the early summer did tease us recently with a few decent summer days, it did end pretty grim and that optimism started to disappear. Will it be a good summer after all, when will we take a break and where will we go?!! These thoughts were running through my head while I flicked through the news in The Irish Times and I read about more intense bombing by the Russians on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine and I wondered about my buddy over there, …...

On the latest episode of the podcast Greg chatted with Mus, the founder of Birmingham Race Impact Group .

In March 2022, just as things were getting back to normal post Covid in Birmingham, some hateful racist literature was being distributed across the city.

For Mus this was all of the racist bullying of her childhood raising its ugly face again, this time by a group called The Patriotic Alternative.

Mus nervously reached out to her predominantly white neighbours through the WhatsApp group, and to her immense relief she realised that they were as disgusted as she was about this spreading of hate.

A few conversations later, this community came together and quickly removed the oxygen from the haters and started the group Brummies United Against Racism and Hate Crime.

On the podcast Mus shares the heart-breaking stories of racism experienced throughout her life, the impact that these have had on her, how it has shaped her career and in particular how the work of Brummies United has evolved.

Unfortunately, fear of others is a currency that some politicians prey on and we also spoke about the rise of Nigel Farage and his Reform Party in the UK.

"Smartphones have turned every bystander into a broadcaster. A single post typed in frustration or fear can outrun a full communications team. Platforms reward what provokes a reaction, not what provides context, and misinformation often gets a head start," writes Fuzion's John FitzGerald.

There is a moment every comms person knows too well. A phone buzzes, a screenshot lands in a WhatsApp group, and suddenly a rumour has already travelled further than the truth. In 2026, that moment arrives faster than ever. A single post can reach thousands of people before a communications team has...

Anyone that follows Greg on social media will know that he is not the biggest fan of AI and in particular Generative AI.

So when I ended up sitting next to the founder of The Institute of Applied AI, Siobhan O’Leary at a Chamber breakfast, I couldn’t resist inviting her to come on the podcast !

We had a really fascinating chat about the family jewellery business, her career as an engineer, the challenge of juggling work and family, and then a huge pivot to self employment and the world of applying AI to business.

When he was editing the podcast, after about 25 minutes of perfect audio for some reason the sound collapsed on Siobhan’s microphone and he was struggling badly to recover the audio quality. After lots of repair work by him using the software that he normally uses, he had an ok recording but it wasn’t at all good enough to publish.

Instead of abandoning what he had, he ironically turned to an AI repair tool that he had never used before to see if it could rescue the recording At times it changed Siobhan’s voice and at times it managed to mispronounce some words - it still needed some intervention from him and a few parts he had to delete but all in all it did an ok job.

We’ll let you listen and figure out where the AI took over and you might let us know if you think it did a good job or not!

"I now like Gary Vee" - a simple blog post by Greg about the wisdom of allowing yourself to be quite personal on LinkedIn from time to time - people will get to like you!!

While Gary Vaynerchuk (Gary Vee) has always spoken a lot of sense about social media I never really liked him.
