Episodes of the NΞXXT question available now
Episode 1: Byron & Tim, Two lenses, one conversation
The result? Explorations into topics like…. The why, how, and what of NEXXT’s very existence. In particular the goal to be a trusted space for AV and workplace leaders to turn to in order to take AI from hype into applied practice. Tim’s own AI journey, his current perspectives and opinions on this moment, the questions he’s hearing from the field, and how he sees NEXXT helping tackle some of those challenges. The opportunity (and responsibility) for the industry as we move from AI in meetings, moving from transcripts and summaries, to active digital collaborators.
Practical examples of AI enabled transformation – like how we might shift from hero programmers crashing code as 2am, to repeatable, best practices oriented workflows, documentation, and code repositories.
Episode 2: The Privilege of AI
In this episode we’ll hear from one of the industry’s most recognizable AI advocacy voices, and a friend and “think different” collaborant for more than 15 years, Mr. Julian Phillips. It is no coincidence that the first stand alone episode of The NEXXT Question is with my friend and long time innovator and co-collaborator Julian Phillips, one of the industry’s most recognizable AI advocacy voices,
Our friendship and impactful working relationship goes back 15+ years to the early days of GPA. And of course given his passion for the industry and for AI, he’s been a steady source of support and encouragement behind the NΞXXTmission coming to fruition.
Also not surprising that his beloved Athena makes an appearance in the episode too – a perfect companion to and representation of the conversation.
Conversations from the front lines of transformation
The NΞXXT Question podcast invites the AV and workplace technology community into grounded, forward-looking conversations about transformation in the age of AI.
These aren’t interviews—they’re evolving, multi-voice conversations. From strategy to operations, from the boardroom to the front line, we explore what it takes to lead, adapt, and move meaningfully forward when the path isn’t clear.
Whether you’re deep in digital transformation or just trying to understand where to start, The NΞXXT Question creates space for voices you can learn from—and stories you can see yourself in.
Because meaningful change doesn’t start with answers, it starts by asking the right questions —together.

Hosted by NΞXXT founder Byron Tarry, each episode begins with a featured guest—often a respected voice from within the industry, sometimes someone just outside of it with a fresh and applicable lens. But they’re not coming alone. In most episodes, each guest is invited to bring someone with them: a colleague, a collaborator, or a challenger who adds dimension, context, or reinforcement to the discussion.
