#422: Ethan Ikhifa
<p class="p1">A podcast guest can come from anywhere, even the elevator.</p> <p class="p1">Matt met 25-year-old model, filmmaker, computer science graduate, entrepreneur, and self-described digital native Ethan Ikhifa while leaving Vercel Ship in New York City. Ethan was working the elevator that day, moving hundreds of attendees between floors.</p> <p class="p1">Most people walked straight past him.</p> <p class="p1">Matt asked how his day was.</p> <p class="p1">That simple exchange became the beginning of this wide-ranging conversation about human connection, creativity, artificial intelligence, visibility, and the changing definition of valuable work.</p> <p class="p1">Born in Nigeria, raised in Los Angeles, and now building a multifaceted creative life in New York, Ethan has deliberately avoided choosing a single lane. He models, produces films, shoots photography, builds websites, teaches financial literacy, studies markets, and uses multiple AI models as an extension of his thinking.</p> <p class="p1">Ethan explains why Claude has become the "front door" to his digital life, how he assigns different jobs to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, and why the most important AI skill may no longer be producing the work but architecting, orchestrating, and asking the right questions.</p> <p class="p3">The conversation also explores:</p> <ul> <li>Why artists increasingly need to understand visibility and distribution</li> <li>How AI is changing the value of traditional experience and expertise</li> <li>Why creativity, communication, taste, and orchestration may become more valuable than raw output</li> <li>The growing disconnect between talented creators and the business systems capable of amplifying them</li> <li>Why focus is not something we find, but what remains after we remove the noise</li> <li>How the smartphone—and increasingly the AI assistant—is becoming our digital twin</li> <li>Why every person may need to think like a model, media company, and brand ambassador</li> </ul> <p class="p1">This episode began with two people acknowledging each other in an elevator. It ends with a much larger question:</p> <p class="p1">In a world where AI can produce almost anything, what remains uniquely human and how do we make sure the world sees it?</p>

#421: Janaka Fernando
<p class="p1">Matt McQueeny sits down with longtime digital experience leader and Optimizely MVP <span class= "s1"><strong>Janaka Fernando</strong></span> for a conversation that travels across continents, decades, and the evolution of the web itself.</p> <p class="p1">Janaka shares the remarkable story of a life shaped by movement and adaptation: born in Canada, spending his earliest years in Sri Lanka, leaving during the country's civil war, growing up across small-town Ontario, Philadelphia, and New York, and eventually building a life and career in England.</p> <p class="p1">The conversation explores identity, immigration, parenthood, nostalgia, and the surprising ways our early environments continue to shape us. Janaka reflects on becoming a father at twenty, starting his technology career during the earliest days of the commercial internet, working in internet cafés, and visiting the World Trade Center only months before September 11.</p> <p class="p1">Matt and Janaka also trace the evolution of digital experience—from dial-up modems and early web development to enterprise content management, personalization, experimentation, and agentic marketing. Janaka explains his path from developer to technical pre-sales, consulting, EpiServer, Optimizely, Made to Engage, Valtech, and Altudo, while offering a thoughtful perspective on why Optimizely continues to resonate with enterprise marketers.</p>

#420: Peter Stringer
<p class="p1">Matthew McQueeny sits down with digital strategist Peter Stringer for a conversation that begins with childhood memories of Boston sports and journalism—but quickly turns into an exploration of fascinating career parallels.</p> <p class="p1">Both Matthew and Peter started as aspiring sports journalists. Both discovered the web in its infancy and used HTML, websites, and digital publishing to bypass the traditional media gatekeepers. One landed with the New Jersey Nets. The other with the Boston Celtics. Together, they witnessed—and helped shape—the transformation from newspapers to websites, from websites to social media, and now from search engines to AI.</p> <p class="p1">Along the way, they share stories from inside professional sports organizations, what it was like earning trust with coaches and players, how team websites disrupted traditional media, and why the best careers often come from embracing technologies before everyone else realizes their importance.</p>
