Jonathan Pease is Australia's go-to pitch expert, working with executives from the biggest companies in the country.

Here's how AI is completely reshaping the way we present and pitch. In this episode, Jonathan breaks down how AI has commoditised content creation but amplified the need for authentic human connection.

We explore the critical difference between documents and presentations, why vulnerability is your secret weapon, and how to read the room in real time. Plus, Jonathan reveals his MeWe storytelling framework and explains why the future belongs to those who master taste and communication.

Andrew Sjoquist is building a business at the intersection of two massive shifts: energy and AI infrastructure.

Australia wastes an estimated 7.2 terawatt hours of renewable energy every year due to grid constraints. At the same time, demand for data centres is exploding, driven by AI, cloud computing, and digital .

WinDC is turning that inefficiency into opportunity.

Instead of building traditional, multi-year data centre projects in capital cities, they deploy modular, shipping container-sized data centres directly next to wind and solar farms. These units can be live in as little as 90 days, using stranded energy that would otherwise go to waste.

This isn’t just an energy play. It’s a structural shift in where and how digital infrastructure gets built.

Topics we cover:

• Why wasted renewable energy is becoming a commercial opportunity, not just a policy problem
• How modular data centres dramatically reduce build time, cost, and risk
• The growing demand for high-density compute (AI) and why traditional infrastructure can’t keep up
• Why waterless cooling unlocks deployment in remote and harsh environments
• Australia’s strategic position in the global race for AI infrastructure
• The fundamental shift: data centres moving to energy sources, not population centres

Daniel Vasilev has raised $42 million to build AI agents that replace 50% of go-to-market tasks in 2025. His company Relevance AI is already automating entire teams for some of the world's largest private companies.

This isn't another ChatGPT conversation. Daniel breaks down exactly how businesses are using AI agents like employees — recruiting them, training them, and managing them to eliminate mundane work. From BDR teams to customer success, he shows how the best companies are scaling with ideas, not headcount. His prediction? Every knowledge worker will delegate their grunt work to AI this year, or get left behind by competitors who do.

• How AI agents eliminate 50% of go-to-market tasks in 2026
• Why you should recruit AI agents like employees
• The four levels of AI autonomy every business will experience
• Real examples of companies automating BDR and customer success teams
• Why software engineering proves AI will transform all knowledge work
