Local-First AI For Video Libraries, with Dr. Henry Kang

From Swamp Mode To Systems That Sell, with Kenneth Kollasch

Most businesses fail to grow for a simple reason: The owner is stuck selling the obvious thing, while the customer is buying something deeper. When Kenneth Kollasch tells us what it’s like to grow up inside a multi-generational ballroom and Latin dance studio, the lesson lands fast. Dance lessons were never just about steps. They were about confidence, relationships, identity,... Read More

How Viesus Fixes Photos Before They Print, with Servi Pieters

Gary Pageau , ,
Your customer doesn’t order a “file” they order a memory, and nothing kills that moment faster than a print that looks worse than the phone screen. We sit down with Servi Pieters, CEO of Viesus, to unpack why modern photo printing faces new traps: HDR smartphone displays, print workflows, heavy social media compression, and low-light computational photography that looks fine on glass...

How Local Language Models Protect Privacy, with Dr. Arshavir Blackwell

You can ask a frontier model for marketing copy and get something polished, fast, and strangely not you. That gap between “correct” and “authentic” is where this conversation with Dr. Arshavir Blackwell gets practical. Dr. Blackwell tells The Dead Pixels Society why large language models (LLMs) still behave like black boxes, why hallucinations happen, and what mechanistic interpretability is doing to help us...

Gary Pageau ,
One screenshot can feel harmless, until you realize it might be happening at scale and quietly rewriting your sales numbers.

How Mixbook uses AI to tell real stories, with Andrew Laffoon

Gary Pageau
Your camera roll isn’t a memory system, it’s a backlog, and the bigger it gets, the harder it is to turn real moments into something you can actually revisit. Gary Pageau of The Dead Pixels Society sits down with Mixbook CEO and co-founder Andrew Laffoon as Mixbook hits its 20th anniversary. We dig into a question that matters to anyone who cares about photography, printing, or... Read More

A Privacy First Photo Network Can Still Feel Social, with Darin Myman, Myseum.ai

Gary Pageau ,
Your camera roll is overflowing, your group chats are chaos, and the biggest platforms keep getting weirder about data, ads, and AI.

From skill to system: Turning services into scalable companies with Brad Sugars Podcasts 

From skill to system: Turning services into scalable companies with Brad Sugars

Gary Pageau ,
Most businesses don’t fail because the owner lacks talent. They stall because the owner becomes the product, the manager, the decision desk, and the emergency contact all at once. That’s when growth turns into stress, customers feel delays, and the company becomes impossible to sell. We’re joined by Brad Sugars, founder of ActionCOACH and author of “Pulling Profits Out of a Hat,” to... Read More

How FilterPixel uses AI to cull and deliver event photos faster, with Aayush Arora

Gary Pageau ,
Your camera can shoot 3,000 sharp photos in a day. So why does delivery still take a week?

The bottleneck is not capture, it is the post-production workflow, especially photo culling and image selection when... Read More
How Dakis connects POS, online orders, and lab workflows, with Pat Hugron Podcasts 

How Dakis connects POS, online orders, and lab workflows, with Pat Hugron

Gary Pageau , ,
Your customer starts a photo order on their phone, asks a question in store, pays at the counter, and expects everything to “just work.” Most retailers cannot deliver that simple experience because their POS, e-commerce site, kiosk, and lab workflow are stitched together from different systems, each with its own SKUs, pricing, and payment records. We sit down with Pat Hugron, Vice... Read More
