Meet the Co-hosts
Jay and Talia met during a cross-sector Gen AI pilot - she was the brand consultant, he was the IPA sceptic. They clashed, then clicked. Now they’re co-hosts and creative collaborators who love to explore how AI is reshaping investment attraction, one conversation at a time.
Former marketing agency CEO
Talia
Talia built a boutique B2B marketing agency into a regional powerhouse, helping brands punch way above their weight. She was always obsessed with storytelling, audience psychology, and the tech that could make things scale. When Gen AI broke through, she didn’t just adopt it — she rebuilt her whole agency model around it. Now she’s consulting, creating, and yes - podcasting with her former IPA client-turned-friend, Jay.
Former IPA Investment Director
Jay
Jay spent a decade in the trenches of international investment attraction, pitching his market to every kind of investor - from solar giants to SaaS unicorns. He’s seen the slide decks, lived the airport layovers, and wrestled with ghosted follow-ups more times than he can count. Two years ago, he pivoted - fell in love with Gen AI and now advises public agencies and economic development teams on how to actually use AI to move the needle.
