AI expands what’s possible.
How do we figure out what's worth doing?

Before we sit down together.
Is this a podcast?
No. But not because it isn't meant to spread ideas to audiences and offer exposure to the participants. Modern Iteration is primarily about facilitating quality conversation that are valuable for the people in the room: a space to reflect, connect ideas, and compare what we are learning. We record so those new insights can help us build a small, engaged community of like-minded thinkers, not to maximize viewership.
Is there a cost?
It is completely free, and always will be. There shouldn't be a fee to having a great conversation. You’ll also receive all the content from your interview to repurpose and share with your own community.
Who are these conversations for?
Founders, business leaders, consultants, intrapreneurs, enterpreneurs and people driving change in an organization. If you’re creative, experimenting, navigating risk, making decisions with some uncertainty, and are learning through practice ~ we'd love to speak with you. You don’t need a large audience or a finished success story, the goal is to document the journey of being in the trenches and the lucid insights that come from that proximity to the hard and messy work of true innovation.
Where are the conversations held?
All recorded conversations are held online through our professional recording studio platform. The 15-min pre-screen call is not recorded or published.
Do I need to be an AI expert?
No, but you should be familiar with it. Ideally you use AI every day, constantly figuring out where it fits in your processes, and learning where it falls short. But we’re mainly interested in your human judgment and experience, including the questions you haven’t resolved yet.
How much time should I set aside?
Its less than 1.5 hours in totoal. You've already started here, and next with a 15-minute pre-screen call to ensure fit and set boundaries, and then allow an hour for the recording. Bring some experiences and opinions you’d like to unpack: a realization, an experiment, a setback, or a change of direction. No form, presentation or script.
What happens to the recording?
Our team will turn the conversation into a full interview video on YouTube and podcast platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts, as well as post short-form clips across social media, and write up with reference links to your works here on a dedicated siift page linked here. You will get access to the raw content as well that you can post as you wish.
Do I need to use siift?
Not at all. You don’t need to be a user, customer or have any existing relationship with the siift platform. siift produces Modern Iteration because we care about how people are evolving their innovation process in the age of AI, navigate uncertainty and creating differentiated business value. The focus is on your experience and your work, if there is a natural fit for siift we may bring it up briefly.
