Together, they explore the evolving landscape of customer experience, personalization, and the rise of AI in service delivery — but from two very different angles.

Meanwhile, Alex Mead, a no-nonsense customer service experience strategist, passionately critiques the over-hyped CX buzzwords and defends the vital role of customer service leadership in delivering real, contextual help — not just brand polish.
