Podcast | May 5, 2026

New Friction is a podcast from Douglas Ferguson on the real organizational challenges of AI transformation. AI made execution almost free but most organizations are still stuck. Not because the technology doesn't work, but because the people problems got harder: decision-making, governance, and trust friction. Each episode features practitioners navigating AI change at ambitious organizations — what broke, what they tried, and what actually worked. We explore the shift from building to deciding, the 4x perception gap between leaders and the workforce, multiplayer AI organizations, and how the next generation learns judgment. Episode 1 drops May 26, 2026.

It is a bodily one. Drawing on nearly 30 years of parallel practice in facilitation and yoga, Robin introduced tools for activating body-based awareness before and during sessions, a practical framework for understanding what different group sizes do to the relational field, and experiential exercises that help facilitators sense more and interpret less. A must-read for anyone who has ever felt the room shift before they could name why, and wanted better tools to work with that knowing.
