Kate Ross has pivoted her digital agency of the last 15 years, called eight&four, to offer its own suite of AI tools because she was frustrated by the limitations of just using ChatGPT.
She shares the agencyâs successes and the misses in building bespoke AI solutions, such as a tone of voice tool that a large travel brand now lets every employee use. Kate also gives us some good old fashioned British cynicism (or realism!) about the hype and bluster (and even white lies) about some of the AI tools out there.
She is also bullish on the future of creativity. So if youâre a marketer, work in an agency, or use tech to sell more in your business, this episode is for you!

Leanne Elliott Young knows how to capture the zeitgeist, whether at Nike in their highly secretive Rm72 team and collaborating with Virgil Abloh, or now at the helm of the Institute of Digital Fashion (IoDF), as a cofounding team of self-professed âarchitects of a new digital cultureâ.
Leanne talks through her career, having been approached to join Nike not long after graduating, and spent nearly a decade there before rejecting fashion norms and throwing herself into digital fashion and pioneering bleeding edge tech instead - helping IoDF achieve world firsts such as the first ever NFT worn at the British Fashion Awards.
Leanne also shares her vision for the future, where technology seamlessly integrates into our lives, and our consumption habits shift towards reselling rather than producing everything new.

Lindsey started her career working in social media back in 2009, working her way up to Global Head of Technology & Innovation at beer company AB InBev where she led an NFT project for Stella Artois generating a million dollars in sales in a week - and she was subsequently named in the 30 Most Influential People in the Metaverse.
She has now been CEO of Sixth Wall for nearly 3 years alongside Mila Kunis and she has been advising companies on blockchain, Web3 and the next internet under her consultancy Black Sun Labs.

Welcome back for Season 4! Noticed our rebrand?
What is Web3?
If youâre new here, Web3 is the next major iteration of the internet, and includes technologies like blockchain, NFTs, and even AI and the metaverse.
Today we talk to Lisa Mayer, Founder of Boss Beauties and former founder of Social Canvas, and her ongoing mission to inspire women and girls to be whatever they want to be - first through mentoring events, and later in Web3 by founding Boss Beauties as an NFT project and now a media and IP brand empire.
Lisa talks about how saying yes and putting yourself out there can get you amazing opportunities: from invitations to the White House, to getting funding from Serena Williamsâ venture fund, and having Boss Beauties artwork hung on the wall at the New York Stock Exchange.

We have a *very* special guest for our season finale, and that is Martha Lane Fox, cofounder of lastminute.com.
Martha, nicknamed the âdotcom dinosaurâ by the press thanks to her lengthy career in tech, sits on the board of Chanel, WeTransfer, the British Chambers of Commerce and previously sat on the board of X (Twitter). She is also cofounder of karaoke bar chain Lucky Voice, and chancellor of the Open University.
We talk about her experiences leading at some of the worldâs biggest companies, why the issues around the lack of women in tech still pervade, despite two decades of her spearheading change, and we touch on the accident that meant she was still hospitalised while the sale of lastminute.com went through for ÂŁ577 million.

Elke Karskens is an exec at leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, where sheâs recently been promoted to Country Director for Benelux and the Nordics. Always with a strong desire to follow innovation, she has an impressive career spanning stints at TomTom, Skype in its early days, and then a decade at Meta (formerly Facebook). Elke now plays a pivotal role at Coinbase, having initially led their marketing before being promoted to a leadership position.
We dive into her dizzying career trajectory across Web2 to Web3, and hear how - like most of us - Elke was initially put off by the sheer amount of jargon in the crypto space and her passion for helping others make sense of the potential of decentralised finance.
