LikedChef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

I've always felt that technology's promise is to make our lives, both personal lives and professional lives, significantly easier, significantly simpler in everything we do, and even significantly more fun." Noam Segal began his UX journey in the mid-2000s, working on the user experience of missile defence systems. He has since worked across multiple spaces, including travel (Airbnb), AI customer support (Intercom), Fintech (Wealthfront), Social (X & Meta.). Most recently he was Senior Research Manager at Upwork. In this episode we talk at length how AI it is impacting, and will continue to impact, the work of UX researchers. He shares his views on the need to embrace and experiment with these tools and the exciting, bewildering and opportunities they present to researchers and design teams, focussing on 3 tools in particular: Sprig , Genway and Julius .

He shares with me his fascinating journey into UX and Service Design during the early years of the 'Celtic Tiger', his advice on building individual resilience to overcome the challenges inherent in digitally immature organisations, and the need for us all to be mindful of not washing away years of hard-won UX expertise in the current goldrush for all things 'AI'.

1 46. What role can technology play in managing the ever-increasing demands on healthcare around the world? - Ian Mulvany @ BMJ 44:41

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIan Mulvany is Chief Technology Officer at the British Medical Journal (BMJ ). Join me for a fascinating conversation with a seasoned technology leader building innovative and empowering healthcare products. "Technology as it is configured today....we are still at the foothills of understanding [how] this is going to drive our future economies... There are still hundreds of millions of people to come to the web and so when we think about healthcare, the future demand on healthcare is going to far outstrip the access to the number of doctors that are out there. So how do we equip people to work at what is sometimes called the 'top end of their licence', to be able to deliver that? I think digital has an immense role to play there. So I'm hugely excited about being in a place where the tools we build can help build that story." Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the episode. Mike Green…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWhat is generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)? What aspects of generative AI are academics conducting cutting edge research currently investigating? How can UX researchers and designers apply lessons from this research in their own work? And should we learn to love or fear AI?
