Human In The Loop

Sheridan Broadbent has spent her career moving between the boardroom, the racetrack, and now the final frontier. With a background in C-Suite and governance roles on some of New Zealand's most significant organisations and boards, she's built a reputation for bringing sharp thinking, genuine passion, and a refreshingly direct leadership style to complex industries.
Sheridan recently returned from the 41st Space Symposium in Colorado Springs with a clear message: New Zealand has the ingredients, the talent, and the natural advantage - but needs the ambition and investment to match.

In this episode, we talk risk, AI governance, sovereign resilience, and what it will take to realise our advantage in the space sector.

Shaun Singh is the founder and CEO of Death to Stock (DTS), a visual production and licensing platform. DTS operates as a continuous production engine, releasing 400–500 new images each month, informed by an in-house cultural research team.
Each image is produced as a cultural signal, something brands can license and deploy immediately to stay current, rather than relying on static libraries or delayed interpretation.

Based in Auckland, Shaun built DTS into a global company working across Berlin, New York, London, LA, Tokyo, and Paris. His work focuses on how visual culture moves ahead of language, and how taste, timing, and direction are becoming the real advantage in an AI-driven landscape.

We discuss:

· How he accidentally started a global production + taste system built around cultural timing

· The role algorithms play in the erosion of personal style

· Where AI is helping independent creatives, and where it might be hurting them

This week we welcome back Derrick Edward who is a technical founder with deep software engineering & Al experience. He co-founded Harnex AI, an Al-native agency helping businesses adopt Al across ANZ, and now he’s building a global B2B Al platform called AuraScope so brands stay visible in the Al search era.

We discuss:

· Why AEO is the new frontier of digital visibility and why the brands that ignore it now will be playing catch-up fast

· What it actually takes to get your business in front of AI-generated answers the practical steps leaders can take today

· What possessed Derrick to come back again, what's changed since his first episode, and what impressions we're getting better at
