Hello, Malcolm Gladwell here.

Last year, I began hosting a series,

Smart Talks with IBM, where I got to meet people working with technology

in ways I had never imagined possible.

From building artificial intelligence with empathy to revolutionizing access to data through

hybrid cloud, the innovations we explored last season blew me away. The

technological possibilities are endless. That's why I'm excited to tell you that

Smart Talks with IBM is back with brand new episodes. This season it's all

about the new creators, the developers, data scientists, CTOs, and other visionaries creatively applying technology in business to drive change.

They use their knowledge and expertise to develop more creative and effective solutions no matter the industry.

This next series of smart talks with IBM has so much to dive into

that I've decided to call on some friends to join us.

You'll get to hear from my colleagues of Pushkin Industries, other hosts of

our podcasts who are truly subject matter experts in their fields. Folks like Dr. Lori Santos of the Happiness Lab and Michael Lewis of Against the Rules.

They'll use their expertise to deepen the conversation and of course I'll be here to guide you through the season and throw in my two cents as well.

So mark your calendars. We'll be back with another run of Smart Talks episodes starting May 31st. You can find it on the I-Heart

radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Malcolm Gladwell

and this is Smart Talks with IBM. See you soon.
