Evgeniy Kharam has been developing his soft skills in the technology industry over the last 2 decades after realizing early on that it helped him bridge the gap between engineering and business. This helped him rise in his career. He took the time to document his learnings in his book, Architecting Success: The Art of Soft Skills in Technical Sales.

He joins Buu to talk about the importance of soft skills and how to approach building the skills needed if you're looking to grow your impact.

LEGENDS WILL FOR SURE NEVER DIE [FREE DL]

This episode is one of several bite-sized gems we recorded during the ADC*E  festival and The One Club Executive Summit in Barcelona.

Now, the summit was all hush-hush, no-media-allowed kind of deal. So we caught up with Lars Bastholm the next day at the festival. Lars is a highly experienced creative-turned-AI-consultant and the mastermind behind the Creative AI Summit in Copenhagen. We cornered him and held him hostage until he spilled the beans on his go-to AI tools and how he manages to stay ahead of the never-ending flood of new tech. 

Tune in to hear Lars’s insights and maybe walk away with a few AI hacks of your own!

In this second bite-sized episode, we bring you a quick but insightful chat with Tay Guan Hin, Creative Chairman of BBDO Singapore.

Tay pulled double duty at the ADC*E and One Club events, speaking at both the Executive Summit and the festival. After his latter talk, we kind of ambushed him. We didn’t even let him step off stage before diving into some of the fascinating things he touched on: why passion beats perfection, what it means to be neurodiverse in advertising, and the ideas behind his latest book, “Collide: Embracing Conflict to Boost Creativity”.

This little chat was recorded while standing in a noisy coffee queue with Miriam Plon Sauer, right after she stepped off the stage, where she spoke about the fear of femininity and the hidden reason behind the gender gap.

Being SVP Global Strategy Director for McCann Worldgroup in her talk, Miriam drew on her experience as a female agency leader to uncover some of the subconscious attitudes and behaviors that make each one of us working in the industry reinforce the gender gap without even knowing it. A candid and thought-provoking perspective!

Remember back in June when we strolled through Amsterdam with Catalin Rusu and Susana Albuquerque to drop in unannounced at Kessels Kramer? We got a quick tour but missed their creative director because, well, meetings happen.

Fast forward to now: this time, we caught Gijs van den Berg just as he was heading out for lunch. And guess what? Susana and Catalin were with us again. Perfect timing!

At the ADCE festival, Gijs gave a talk titled "A Plea for Creative Disobedience". If you know Kessels Kramer, you’ll know that’s about as on-brand as it gets. Inspired by punk rock mosh pits instead of corporate brainstorms, Gijs called out the soul-crushing processes that are suffocating our industry. With real examples of creatives breaking the rules, reclaiming their power, and turning quirky obsessions into game-changing work, it’s not a talk for the faint-hearted or the timesheet enthusiasts.

We didn’t hold back on the questions, either. Like, is everything Kessels Kramer does as wild as Hans Brinker Hostel? Or do they ever do something as mundane as, say, banners?
Tune in because missing this would be a creative crime.


S4E12: Gijs van den Berg Caught in Barcelona

This isn’t just music; it’s a 1v9 anthem for the tilted, the toxic, and the unhinged. Built for the mentally boomed solo queue grinders who flame harder than they play, this track drops harder than your LP after an inting ADC pick

From the moment the kickrolls hit, it’s like being perma-camped in lane: relentless, punishing, and unapologetic. The synths scream louder than a boosted Yasuo OTP in post-game chat, while the bassline carries harder than your smurf in Bronze Elo. This is pure hardstyle chaos, crafted for rage-pinging junglers, emote-spamming midlaners, and anyone who lives to watch the enemy team tilt into oblivion

If this track doesn’t make you want to uninstall, you’re doing it wrong. Go queue up, lose harder, and come back when you’ve learned to cope with the diff

Trečias ir paskutinis epizodas, įrašytas LDA ir Kultūros Tarybos organizuotame paskaitų ir diskusijų cikle „Teisė, dizainas ir turtas“. 

Su teisininke Aiste aptarėme intelektinės nuosavybės apsaugą internete. Kaip apsaugoti kūrinius skaitmeninėje erdvėje ir kaip DI keičia taisykles?

Pirmoje dalyje kalbėjome apie apsaugos svarbą, kaip ji motyvuoja kurti ir skatina inovacijas bei užtikrina kūrėjų pajamas ir autorystės apsaugą. Antroje, diskusijų dalyje daugiausiai dėmesio skyrėme DI. Aptarėme ne tik aktualius klausimus, tačiau ir filosofiškai klausėme, kas autorius: kūrėjas, DI įrankis ar įrankio kūrėjas? Igor Gubaidulin diskusiją papildė įžvalgomis apie dirbtinį intelektą ir jo atliekamą vaidmenį kūrybos procese. 

Teoriškai apsaugoti turinį internete galime, bet ar praktiškai tai veiks?
