Host Tim Flagg speaks with Ricky Solanke of Push about turning AI into real marketing outcomes, from agent workflows and AI creative to sales follow up and measurement.

Ricky charts Push’s journey from early digital performance to an AI marketing agency, the 2023 repositioning, and why training and consultancy now sit alongside campaign delivery. He explains how Push builds client knowledge bases and configurable multi agent workflows for research, personas, ad copy, and creative production, then connects them to sales nurture so leads convert faster. We also dig into adoption, culture, and the 10 70 20 approach: human input, AI doing the heavy lift, human quality assurance.

In this episode, Tim welcomes Laura Knight, former teacher and founder of Sapio, to explore how schools, trusts and universities can adopt AI in a way that is safe, values led and genuinely useful. Drawing on two decades in classrooms and leadership, plus recent work contributing to Department for Education guidance, Laura sets out a clear path that puts principles before tools.

She explains how real adoption in education often starts at the grassroots with curious teachers and students, while leaders work to catch up on policy, procurement and safeguarding. We dig into practical steps that protect children and staff while enabling innovation, including data privacy, transparency, and governance that supports wise mavericks rather than shutting them down.

From curriculum and digital wellbeing to device strategy and classroom practice, Laura shows how to focus on outcomes and evidence rather than product churn. We look at what the new DfE guidance means day to day, how to choose platforms that fit your vision, and how to build staff confidence so AI enhances teaching and learning rather than replacing the human connection.

In this episode, Tim welcomes Shimron Walters, founder of BitesizedGenius, to explore how clear, confidence-building AI training helps non-technical teams get real value from modern tools. Drawing on his journey from digital transformation in the Civil Service to entrepreneurship, Shimron shares how he translates jargon into practical skills for charities, SMEs and mission-driven organisations.

He explains how BitesizedGenius goes back to basics, from “what is AI?” to safe, compliant adoption, before scaling to AI agents and automated workflows. We dig into change management, GDPR and governance, and choosing the right stack (e.g. Copilot Studio vs general automation platforms) so leaders can balance risk with results. Real examples include briefing a VC firm on agents, hands-on training for local businesses, and designing accessible learning that builds digital confidence.

From addressing digital skills gaps to imagining AI as a 24/7 personalised tutor for learners with additional needs, Shimron shows how thoughtful adoption can widen access, not just cut costs, especially across the charity and public sectors, where resources are tight and impact matters most.

In this episode, Tim welcomes Aryan Chaudhary, Director & Chief Scientific Adviser at Biotech Sphere Research, to explore how Project Phoenix is reshaping rural healthcare without losing the human touch. Built for low-connectivity settings, Phoenix helps frontline workers capture vitals (blood pressure, blood sugar, SpO₂) and uses AI for early warning and early detection portable, offline-friendly, and designed for low literacy.

Combining practical innovation with a community-first mindset, Aryan shares how Phoenix turns last-mile outreach into end-to-end care—screening 10,000+ people, training 200+ health workers, and rolling out across 20+ districts in Uttar Pradesh. With ASHA/Anganwadi networks, village leaders and NGOs, Phoenix plugs into e-pharmacy services and local clinics to move from data to intervention fast.

From mobile health vans, SMS workflows and local-language interfaces to a clear principle of augmentation over automation, this conversation shows the real ROI of AI in health: not just efficiency, but access, equity and empowerment. We also look at the expansion plan across Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, aligned with SDG 3 and national digital health missions.
