Nimrod Vromen: Echo Chambers, Agents and Intuitive Empathy | Cutting Through
Nimrod Vromen returns to Cutting Through, the show’s first repeat guest. This time he takes on AI, misinformation, the Middle East, and the one skill he believes humans can’t afford to lose.
Nimrod spent nearly 20 years as a corporate lawyer, leading the startup practice at a major Israeli law firm. Since he was last on the show, he has left that career, built and lost an AI startup, and founded After the Flood. It’s a professional services firm run almost entirely by AI agents, and he manages them much as he once managed people. He is also the author of Prompting Happiness, about the pursuit of happiness in the age of AI, and teaches business management and AI at two Israeli universities.
Natasha and Nimrod follow one red thread from AI to geopolitics. Misinformation and echo chambers turn complex issues into “good versus bad”, and that stops us from listening. Nimrod’s challenge: if you can’t argue the other side honestly, you aren’t ready for the conversation.
In this episode:
Why Nimrod manages AI agents the way he once managed people
How AI may be removing the trial and error young people need to build their skills
Why AI can’t take on accountability, and what that means for training future professionals
Immersive simulation as the future of learning, from Roblox to an exam built around a live negotiation
What it’s like to be Israeli in the world right now
Fear as the root of hate, and why every debater should argue the other side for five minutes
Intuitive empathy versus statistical empathy, and why Nimrod sees it as the last human advantage
This is a long and provocative conversation. You won’t agree with all of it, and that’s the point.

Monique Noel Brown: The Word Agency Leaders Keep Missing Is "Consideration" | Cutting Through
Monique Noel Brown (https://www.linkedin.com/in/moniquenoelbrown/), client manager at Milk and Honey PR (https://milkandhoneypr.com/) and a board member of the Taylor Bennett Foundation's (https://www.taylorbennettfoundation.org/) Alumni programme, joins Natasha Plowman (https://www.linkedin.com/in/natashaplowman/) on Cutting Through to challenge the assumptions agency leaders make about young talent, neurodiversity, and diversity in the industry.
Monique unpacks why being "digitally native" doesn't mean being an AI expert, why leading the individual rather than the org chart changes everything for neurodivergent employees, and the truth behind why people of colour leave the comms industry at far higher rates than their peers. She and Natasha land on the single word Monique believes could fix retention across the industry: consideration.

Richard Mahoney on Tenacity, Belief, and Building a Football Club From Tier Nine
Richard Mahoney (https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-mahoney7/), chairman and owner of Camden Town Women's Football Club (https://camdentownwfc.com/), joins Natasha Plowman (https://www.linkedin.com/in/natashaplowman/) on Cutting Through. A former accountant who built and sold his own practice, Richard talks about walking away from finance to take on a football club at the bottom of the English pyramid — and the ten-to-twelve-year plan to take it to the top.
They cover what twenty-five years of working with entrepreneurs and sports executives taught him about tenacity and consistency as the real markers of lasting leadership. The genuine overlap (and the real differences) between running a business and running a club, and the extraordinary growth story of English women's football since the FA's fifty-year ban was lifted. Plus: Wrexham, Ted Lasso, and a very close encounter with Jason Sudeikis.
