Digitize or Disappear: AI, Autodesk & the Future of Construction | Justin & Gus

SummaryIn this episode, Autodesk leaders Justin and Gus break down what it really means to digitize your business from end to end — from raw materials and manufacturing to design, construction, and operations. They explain how a true “digital thread” lets you connect product and building data, unlock AI at scale, and turn past projects into smarter decisions for the future. Anthony, Justin, and Gus dig into why 80–90% of data never gets used, how to move from “taxi driver” workflows to an Uber-style platform mindset, and why companies that don’t adapt their tech stack in the next 5–10 years may not be around. You’ll hear real-world examples across data centers, transformers, prefab, and even Game of Thrones–level media work — plus a candid look at trust, AI “nutrition labels,” and what digital maturity actually looks like for manufacturers and builders.
Justin Mayle is a Business Unit Leader at Autodesk, working with customers across North America to guide their digital transformation. He helps owners, manufacturers, and AEC leaders evaluate where they are on the digital maturity curve, identify the next best step, and build connected, data-driven workflows that reduce late changes, improve profitability, and scale more sustainably.
Gus Quade is a mechanical engineer turned digital transformation specialist at Autodesk. With hands-on experience in product design, automation, and manufacturing, he now helps companies connect design, fabrication, and field execution through Autodesk’s cloud platform. Gus works with hundreds of manufacturers each year to implement digital threads, configurators, and AI-enabled workflows that turn complex models and metadata into faster decisions and bolder designs.

Work With Your Brain, Not Against It | Dr. Sherry Yellin

SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Sherry Yellin breaks down how to lead and live with your brain instead of against it. She explains why “always on” multitasking tanks performance, how the brain’s default mode network fuels creativity, and practical ways leaders can reduce threat, increase trust, and build cultures where people actually thrive. Anthony and Dr. Yellin dig into conflict that sticks, habits that feel “familiar” (and why that’s not the same as effective), and the mindset shift from being the smartest in the room to being the most connected. You’ll leave with brain-based strategies to boost focus, lower drama, and get better results with less effort.
Special GuestDr. Sherry Yellin is a brain-based leadership expert and creator of the CRANIUM framework.
