AI Transformation Lab
The way work gets done is changing.
The AI Transformation Lab Podcast explores the shift from generative AI to agentic AI — where intelligent systems move beyond responding to prompts and begin executing real work.
Hosted by Chris Bradley, Chief Marketing Officer at Veritiv, this show is built for leaders, builders, and operators who want more than better AI responses — they want measurable outcomes and competitive leverage.
Each episode breaks down the inflection point happening in AI right now:
The move from prompt-response tools to outcome-driven systems
What agentic AI means for productivity, strategy, and scale
How to direct intelligent systems responsibly and effectively
The mindset shift required to operate at the next level
This isn’t about hype or surface-level trends.
It’s about capability.
If you want to understand where AI is actually heading — and how to lead in that future — start here.

Your Agentic DNA — The Portable Layer That Travels With You
May 25, 2026 • 23 MIN
This episode is about the fix — building a portable layer of identity, memory, and skills that travels with you across every environment. I call it your Agentic DNA. A small set of files you own, that capture the version of you AI needs to know about, that deploy into any new harness in minutes instead of months.
Tools That Changed How I Work — OpenAI Codex
May 11, 2026 • 25 MIN
In this episode, I walk through the seven capabilities that define Codex now — full file access, persistent memory, plugins, skills, GPT Image 2.0, browser and computer use, and automations — and where each one actually changes the work.
Tools That Changed How I Work: Anthropic’s Claude Desktop (Code, Cowork & Chat)
April 27, 2026 • 23 MIN
The big three AI labs are all building superapps — but each is packaging them differently. Google blurs everything together inside Antigravity. OpenAI is consolidating into Codex. Anthropic took a third path: three distinct surfaces inside one Claude desktop app — Chat, Cowork, and Code.
Tools That Changed How I Work: Google Antigravity
April 13, 2026 • 23 MIN
In Episode 1, I mentioned a competitive analysis I ran in thirty minutes that would have taken two weeks. A global network analysis — fifty-plus competitor locations, fifteen manufacturing hubs, proximity calculations, coverage gaps, and a full action plan for leadership.
Tools That Changed How I Work: Google NotebookLM
March 30, 2026 • 23 MIN
Most AI tools know the internet. NotebookLM knows your sources.
That distinction sounds small. It isn't. When you're doing serious research — regulatory analysis, competitive intelligence, executive briefing prep — the difference between a tool that synthesizes the web and a tool that synthesizes your documents is the difference between fast and trustworthy.
The AI Fluency Playbook: Three Habits That Keep You Ahead
March 16, 2026 • 27 MIN
In Episode 3, Chris Bradley introduces a three-habit framework built for continuous AI fluency: the AI Pulse, a monthly calibration that keeps your mental model of AI's capabilities current; the Workflow Lab, a weekly thirty-minute session dedicated to examining and redesigning one workflow at a time; and the Workflow Pause, an in-the-moment reflex that catches automation opportunities before you execute on autopilot.
The episode also shows how ODIF — the agentic direction framework from Episode 2 — maps directly onto workflow redesign, making every Lab session more rigorous and every output more immediately usable.
Beyond Prompt Engineering: A Masterclass in Agentic Direction
March 2, 2026 • 19 MIN
The gap between AI users who've adapted to 2026 capabilities and those still using 2024 techniques is creating a significant productivity divide and the difference isn't about being smarter, it's about understanding what changed.
In this episode of the AI Transformation Lab Podcast, host Chris Bradley, Chief Marketing Officer at Veritiv and head of their AI Transformation Lab, reveals how agentic AI tools have fundamentally shifted how we work with artificial intelligence. Bradley walks through a real example: a competitive analysis that took one to two weeks in early 2025 now takes thirty minutes, with exponentially better results. He unpacks the techniques driving this transformation and explains why elaborate prompting strategies have become obsolete.
The Leap from Generative to Agentic AI
February 19, 2026 • 23 MIN
In this episode of the AI Transformation Lab Podcast, host Chris Bradley, Chief Marketing Officer at Veritiv and head of the AI Transformation Lab, explores the fundamental shift from generative AI to agentic AI and why this distinction will reshape how knowledge work gets done in 2025 and beyond.
