On this episode of CX and Culture Connection, host Matt Egol, CCXP, sits down with visionary thinker Bernie Jaworski to explore how organizations can harness the transformative power of AI to create meaningful impact. Bernie emphasizes that AI’s potential is vast—ranging from boosting customer and employee experiences to fostering more human-centric cultures—and highlights the importance of intentional leadership in guiding this evolution.
Bernie shares his motivation behind focusing on the intersection of humanity, culture, and technology, underscoring that true progress happens when leaders view organizational change through a systems lens—recognizing that every part of the organization, from the brand to the community, is interconnected. He discusses how AI, especially generative AI, offers unprecedented opportunities for organizations to innovate, collaborate, and deepen their understanding of human behavior.
Throughout the conversation, Bernie advocates for a shift away from false trade-offs—like choosing between cost savings and experience—and instead encourages a both-and mindset that drives sustainable growth and human connection. He also reveals how his Humanity at Scale movement aims to empower leaders and organizations to think bigger, act more intentionally, and build cultures that truly serve people.
Tune in to discover how AI can be a force for good in your organization, how to cultivate leadership that inspires impactful change, and why embracing a systems view is key to thriving in a rapidly evolving landscape. Listen to the full episode here: https://youtu.be/ZDvtEbHg7vU

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
