What Comes Next with Arun: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Arunansu Pattanayak
Most conversations about AI are either too technical for business leaders or too generic to be useful. What Comes Next with Arun fills that gap. Each episode translates real-world data and AI strategy into the language of competitive advantage — drawing on Arun’s 20+ years inside the world’s most complex enterprises, six years as a Microsoft Data & AI Executive, and his experience building Tipsora into a platform serving more than 95,000 professionals worldwide. This is not a podcast about AI tools. It is a podcast about building the organizational intelligence that makes tools matter.

The One-Man Accelerator: What Startups Actually Need to Scale | Christopher Hussain
Send us Fan Mail AI has made it possible to build a product in six to eight months. So here's the uncomfortable question: if you can build it that fast, why can't your competitor? Christopher Hussain has spent more than 20 years answering versions of that question from the inside. He was the #1 mortgage originator in the U.S. for two consecutive years, co-founded Sindeo (one of the original modern online mortgage platforms), and founded RealKey, an AI and automation platform that grew to 3,60...

Fluent in the Tools, Illiterate in the Tradeoffs — Frank Bravo on AI's Real Risk
Send us Fan Mail Most organizations aren't behind on AI. They're behind on the thinking required to use it. That's where this conversation with Frank Bravo starts — and it doesn't let up. Frank is a Bay Area technologist who spent more than three decades leading technology through disruption. For 32 years he was CTO of Embarcadero Media, home of the Palo Alto Weekly, where his team published an entire newspaper's editorial content to the web in 1994 — before Google, before Yahoo, before most ...

The Trust Layer for AI Agents — Ravi Bijlani, KYXStart.Ai
Send us Fan Mail Your AI agent can book a flight, move money, and open accounts on your behalf. But it can't take a selfie or hold a driver's license — so how does anyone know it's really acting for you? Arun sits down with Ravi Bijlani, founder and CEO of KYXStart.Ai, who is building the trust and verification layer for the agentic era. Ravi spent 24 years in identity and payments before betting that the real bottleneck in AI wouldn't be intelligence — it would be trust. In this conversation...

The AI Family Office: Financial Advice for High Earners — with Lord Munjal
Send us Fan Mail High earners rarely lose money because they make bad decisions. They lose it in the gaps — between a financial advisor who only sees stocks and bonds, a CPA who shows up 60 days before the deadline, an insurance agent working a different angle, and an estate plan that's either missing or out of date. Nobody is coordinating the whole picture. In this episode, Arun sits down with Lord Munjal, Founder & CEO of Alpheva AI, who is building a financial operating system for high...

Building an AI-Native Platform to Take On the Bloomberg Terminal — with Aidan McConnell
Send us Fan Mail Most conversations about AI in finance stop at "we use AI." This one goes deeper. Aidan McConnell started as a data science intern at Sezzle in 2019, worked his way up to Head of AI/ML, then left to build QuantLink AI — a vertically integrated data and analytics platform for investors. Think premium market data, quant workflows, and institutional-grade charts, made accessible enough that a first-time investor can actually use them. In this episode, Arun and Aidan trace the bu...

Competitive Intelligence Architecture: The Real Source of AI Advantage
Send us Fan Mail In the finale of this series, Arunansu Pattanayak brings together every framework from the show into a single worldview — one he argues is the most important strategic idea for any leader heading into the next decade. The claim is simple and uncomfortable: the winners won't be the organizations with the best AI. They'll be the ones that build the most intelligent architecture underneath it. Tools are commoditized. Buying the same software as your competitor gets you the same ...

Why Your AI Strategy Is Already Obsolete
Send us Fan Mail Most organizations aren't behind on AI. They're behind on the thinking required to use it. In this solo episode, Arunansu Pattanayak makes a prediction: if your AI strategy is built around specific tools, platforms, and vendors, most of that document will be obsolete within 12 months — not because your team planned badly, but because you built on the fastest-moving layer of the stack instead of the slowest. Arun breaks down why vendor-driven thinking feels like strategy but q...

The Technology Was Never the Problem
Send us Fan Mail Most organizations bought the AI. What they skipped was the thinking required to make it matter. In this solo episode, Arunansu Pattanayak sets aside the frameworks and tells one story — the moment, after 20+ years inside Merrill Lynch, Citibank, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan, TD Bank, and Microsoft, when he finally understood what actually breaks in transformation. It was never the technology. He unpacks why technically excellent systems fail to change anything: people keep using...
