We continue our journey across continents and cultures, and this episode brings us together with Ladislau Batalha, a trusted leader who is helping shape the future of experience worldwide. 

From Dubai to Lisbon, Brazil to Vietnam, we see firsthand how our community is growing, connecting, and redefining what it means to create meaningful experiences in a world where expectations are rising fast.

In this conversation, we explore the expanding intersection of CX and AI, the rise of patient experience as a global priority, and the shift toward better intelligence through agentic systems that give leaders clearer vision and deeper insight. 

We also look ahead to the future, where younger CEOs will move faster with new tools, and seasoned professionals will bring hard earned wisdom back into the ecosystem.

Together, we discuss the skills, mindset, and courage required to lead in 2026 and beyond. This is a look at what comes next for CX and why the world is listening more closely than ever.
