| Scaling a Fintech Where AI Is Part of the Operating Fabric, with Julian Schoemig | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:31:24 | |
What happens when a founder can interrogate the collective knowledge of his entire company before walking into a customer meeting, without interrupting a single team member?
Julian Schoemig, CEO and co-founder of Diesta, joins Martin Wheatley to talk about building a fintech platform at the awkward intersection of insurance and payments, and what scaling a 25-person startup actually looks like when AI is part of the operating fabric.
They get into: ✅ Why vibe coding gets you 80% of the way there, and why the final 20% is where leadership earns its keep ✅ How Julian uses internal MCP servers to prep for client conversations and cross-check his own thinking against the team's documented reasoning ✅ The hidden cost of interruption in hybrid teams, and how AI tooling protects deep work ✅ Three waves of insurtech in 25 years, and why the cycles are now compressing into five ✅ Where Diesta is heading next on payment initiation, and what "Rec and Roll" actually means
🔑 Key takeaway: AI can write 80% of the code, the design, and the first draft of almost anything. The 20% that's left is where judgement lives, and it's the part that cannot be delegated.
If you're leading a scaling business and trying to work out where AI sharpens judgement rather than just speed, this one's worth the thirty minutes.

| Why Your AI Pilot Will Fail Before You Start It, with Neil Alderson | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:43:09 | |
Most AI pilots don't survive past the proof-of-concept stage. So is the problem the technology or what's underneath it?
Neil Alderson (independent advisor to CFOs and finance leaders, 25+ years in finance and transformation) joins Martin to work through what actually has to be true before AI starts delivering returns inside a finance or operations function.
We get into: ✅ Why "speed to value" pressure is causing leaders to skip the groundwork that makes transformation stick ✅ The difference between real transformation and "just a bit of change happening" ✅ How dirty data and broken processes create noise that derails programme governance ✅ Where AI tools like Copilot and Claude Cowork genuinely help and where the human element still comes at a premium ✅ Why trust and authentic connection will matter more, not less, as AI scales
🔑 Key takeaway: AI is an enabler, not the answer. Get the data and the decisions right, then let the tools multiply them.

| The AI Leadership Wake-Up Call, with Iain Morrison | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:41:13 | |
Most AI consultants will tell you "AI won't take your job." Iain Morrison won't. He thinks that answer is too comfortable, and the real picture is more nuanced, more honest, and ultimately more useful.
Iain is the founder of Enlightened People, an AI-enabled HR consultancy, a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD, and an ICF accredited coach. He helps HR teams and SME leadership groups figure out what AI actually means for their people.
In this episode, Martin and Iain dig into why so many AI rollouts fail before they start, what "shadow AI" is doing to your data security right now, and why the organisations treating AI as an opportunity tool will be the ones that grow.
You'll hear about: ✅ The wild maturity gap ✅ Why banning AI outright creates more risk than it prevents ✅ "AI washing" and why some big redundancy headlines have very little to do with AI ✅ Why your expertise is the irreplaceable last 20% that AI can't cover ✅ How entry-level careers are about to look very different ✅ Three practical starting points: be curious, pick one model and stick with it, and two books worth your time
🔑 Key takeaway: AI will reshape workforces. But leaders who empower their people with these tools, rather than strip headcount to the bone, will build more innovative organisations that grow faster.

| The 70-Person Team Running a One-Person Business, with Wendy Kier | 04 May 2026 | 00:38:29 | |
What if the executive team you've always needed was already sitting in ChatGPT?
Wendy Kier, founder of Empower AI, runs her business with 70 custom GPT agents. Twelve of them are strategic partners: a CEO called Lucas, a business coach, a marketing manager, a sales mentor. The rest handle task work like social media, newsletters, and client reports. It's the team most solo founders could never afford to hire, built inside one platform.
Wendy joins Martin to explain her methodology, why she's stayed in ChatGPT while everyone else has been chasing Claude, and why she thinks vibe-coded agents aren't safe to sell commercially.
They get into: ✅ Building agents from a proper job description, with a 24-step master document and lock-in guardrails ✅ Why the CEO agent is Wendy's favourite, and how solo founders use it for weekly founder reports ✅ The AI Book Companion: turning a book into an agent so readers have an ongoing conversation with the author's thinking between coaching or therapy sessions ✅ Using Projects as a "filing cabinet" rather than a prompted container, and why that makes ChatGPT smarter ✅ The discipline of staying in your lane when every week a new model claims to be in the lead
🔑 Key takeaway: depth beats novelty. The operators getting real leverage from AI aren't the ones testing every tool. They're the ones building properly around the one that works for them.

| AI for Leadership: You can't Multiply by Zero, with Bob Gentle | 11 May 2026 | 00:47:25 | |
AI gives leaders an amplifier they've never had before. The trouble is, an amplifier amplifies whatever's already there. If the messaging is unclear, AI just makes the unclear bit louder. That's where this conversation with Bob Gentle starts, and it's where most of the AI for leadership conversation should probably start too. Bob is a personal brand strategist with almost 20 years in digital marketing. He works with CEOs, boards and senior leaders on building authority that actually converts, and he hosts Building Your Leader Brand, which sits in the global top 2% on ListenNotes. He's also one of the more interesting practitioners I've come across on using AI without losing the human signal. In this episode we get into: ✅ Why courage used to be the currency of thought leadership, and what's quietly replacing it now AI has made content production almost free - ✅ Bob's "you can't multiply by zero" rule, and how it lined up with the AI Maths Framework I've been working on (Division, Subtraction, Addition, Multiplication) ✅ The AI-augmented content workflow Bob has built using Notion, Zapier, Poppy and Claude that protects his voice rather than erasing it ✅ Why discernment is becoming the new premium skill for leaders ✅ The 80% imposter syndrome stat that should probably change how you talk to your senior team ✅ Why your website is almost certainly built for the wrong 1% of visitors ✅ And a CIA quantum entanglement story. Yes, really. The takeaway I came away with: AI is an amplifier. It is not a substitute for the work of being clear about who you are and who you're for.

| The Frontier Brief - 8th May 2026 | 08 May 2026 | 00:15:49 | |
Three pieces of AI news from the past month. One uncomfortable pattern underneath all of them. ✳️ OpenAI's AI Jobs Transition Framework, and the gap between theoretical and realised AI exposure across 150 million US jobs ✳️ Anthropic's Economic Index data on the widening gap between practised and casual Claude users ✳️ A Chinese court ruling that signals where the legal line is being drawn on AI-driven redundancy These three signals point at the same problem from different angles. Martin borrows the OpenAI term of "capability overhang": the space between what AI can do and what your people are actually getting out of it. Most businesses have one but few are closing it on purpose. A practical filter on AI adoption, leadership decisions, and where senior leaders should be focusing their attention right now. Useful for CEOs, MDs, and operators of SME businesses navigating AI strategy. Follow The Frontier Leader Show for monthly Frontier Briefs and weekly conversations on leading through AI.

| AI Agents in Business: Inside Bentley Lewis with Lewis Maleh | 18 May 2026 | 00:43:46 | |
Most teams are using AI now. Nothing in the actual business has changed. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Lewis Maleh runs Bentley Lewis, a global executive search firm with team members in London, the US, Europe, Tokyo and Mumbai. He's one of the few founders I've spoken to who's moved past "the team uses ChatGPT" and built AI properly into how the firm operates. Which is a different conversation entirely. A few things you'll hear: ✅ Meet Nina, the AI agent on Lewis's team. ✅ What happens when you send your AI avatar to an interview ✅ How he is now building internal apps without writing a line of code, using voice-to-text and Claude ✅ The split in the recruitment market between AI-screened entry level and 100% sourced executive search ✅ How his team has learnt and grown together with technology I came away from this one thinking about the difference between having AI in your business and AI being in the business. They're not the same thing, and the gap between them is where most firms are stuck.

| Leaders Aren't Ready for What AI Is Bringing, with Pierre Naggar | 25 May 2026 | 00:44:28 | |
"Leaders are not ready for what AI is going to bring." That's how Pierre Naggar opens this conversation. And it lands hard.
Pierre Naggar is the founder of BrightPro and spent almost 30 years in digital marketing and advertising tech before moving into AI automation.
In this episode, we get into what's actually going on inside companies trying to adopt AI, and where it tends to come unstuck.
We cover:
The important bit: AI adoption isn't transformation. Pilots and Copilot rollouts don't count for much until the operating model itself starts to shift.
If you're a senior leader trying to work out whether your AI activity is actually going somewhere, this one's worth a listen.

| Your AI Resume Is Already Written. Did You Write It? With Jason Barnard | 22 Jun 2026 | 00:42:40 | |
There's already an AI resume written about you. The only question is whether you wrote it, or the machine guessed. Jason Barnard has spent 25 years studying how algorithms decide what to say about people and brands. He founded Kalicube, coined the term Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) back in 2017, and turns out he's a fellow Yorkshireman who used to live just down the road from me. He might even know my mum.
✳️ Why Google and AI now act as an "untrained sales force", and how most businesses have them quietly selling for the competition Whether you're working out where to start with AI or you're uneasy about what the machines are already saying about you, this one's worth your time.

| What AI Actually Demands From Leaders, with Cristina Gurguta | 15 Jun 2026 | 00:39:26 | |
AI doesn't remove the need for leadership. It just raises the standard required."
This week I sat down with Cristina Gurguta. Director of Research and Innovation and Associate Partner at INSUS Industrial Sustainable Solutions, and the voice behind the Baby Data Scientist platform.
Cristina started her career as a police officer investigating fraud. Now she investigates data. The overlap, she says, is bigger than you'd expect.
In this episode we get into: ✳️ Why most AI pilots fail and technology is almost never the reason ✳️ Her kill switch protocol, built to shut down AI proposals before they cost the organisation anything ✳️ How she ran an 8-session AI accelerator across 1,500 people, from beginners with no technical background through to data scientists ✳️ Why the AI orchestrator role that's emerging doesn't require writing a single line of code ✳️ What the 4,000 Weeks question really means now that AI is giving back hours each week ✳️ A book recommendation involving vampires. You'll have to listen.

| The ROI of a Lightbulb: Rethinking AI and Leadership, with Mark Schaefer | 08 Jun 2026 | 00:41:41 | |
Strip the humanity out of your business to cut costs and you don't get a leaner company. You get a worse one.
Mark Schaefer, marketing futurist, author of 12 books and the man behind the blog GROW, joins Martin Wheatley to talk about the part of the AI conversation almost nobody is having: not how we use AI, but how our customers are starting to.
We get into: ✳️ Why protecting your brand's DNA matters more as AI spreads, and how "humanity as a luxury" could become a genuine point of difference ✳️ Cognitive offloading vs cognitive surrender, and the MIT study where 73% of people accepted a wrong answer from AI ✳️ The single thing Mark thinks leaders get most wrong (it involves trying to prove the ROI of a twenty-pound subscription) ✳️ Why smaller businesses may be better placed to get this right than the giants ✳️ Markbot, the free AI clone Mark built from 16 years of his own work
Whether you're weighing up where AI fits in your business or trying to bring your people with you rather than past them, there's plenty here to sit with.

| Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years? | 29 Jun 2026 | 00:23:49 | |
"Where do you see yourself in five years?" used to be an easy interview question. With the AI job-apocalypse headlines flying around, it's a much harder one to answer now. This week is a solo one. No guest. I'm sharing a talk I gave last week on the gap between what the media says AI is doing to jobs and what the data actually shows on the ground.
