Welcome to the ninth episode of Season 2 of Futurise.

Season 2 will focus in on AgenticAI, speaking to founders, funders and early adopters of the technology to share their insight and lessons learned.

In this episode, Rob is joined by⁠ ⁠Eric Broda, President and Co-Founder of Broda Group Software, based out of Canada. From the first moment that Eric and I met a few months ago, we've found a common passion for cracking how multi-agent teams are managed in the Enterprise. This is an emergent space, and there are no right or wrong answers at the moment, just opinions and good discussions.
Mr. Broda is the President of Broda Group Software, a boutique consulting firm that helps firms build enterprise-grade agents and the enterprise-grade ecosystems they run in. He writes extensively about agents on medium.com and is authoring his second O’Reilly book on the emerging agent ecosystem (Agentic Mesh), available in November 2025 (currently available in early release on the O’Reilly portal).

Welcome to the seventh episode of Season 2 of Futurise.

Season 2 will focus in on AgenticAI, speaking to founders, funders and early adopters of the technology to share their insight and lessons learned.

In this episode, Rob is joined by⁠ ⁠Nicolas Babin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, based out of France. It's a fabulous conversation based around Nicolas many years at the heart of AI, both as a founder, investor and advisor. In total he has now been involved in the founding of 26 businesses. We talk about that on the podcast, and look at the world of Agentic AI through that lens of experience and advice . Nicolas finishes with wise counsel - you have to fall down 7 times, and get up 8.

Nicolas' background as a serial entrepreneur, executive, and board member has spanned startups to multinational tech giants, with experience in Asia, North America, and Europe.
Highlights along the way have included startup growth from 0 to 8 figures in revenue, two successful IPOs, leadership within a multinational corporation, 3X to 10X revenue growth, launch and growth of 26 startups in 22 years, and leadership of €500M in global M&A.

Some listeners may also remember Steve as an Olympian, representing Great Britain and still holder of the British High Jump record at 2.37m.

Steve talks about his passion for continuing to evolve the business, developing learning experiences that prepare future leaders with the skills they need. He describes his own personal evolution using AI and Generative AI, and then sets the scene in regard to their experience of having implemented Agentic AI (multi-agent teams) to support his teams to better enable them to deliver the best service they can to their learners.

It's a fascinating discussion, from the perspective of an early adopter of AI Agents in business operations.
