Conversations that connect technology, humanity, and the future

20 Minutes with Frankie is an independent interview project exploring how Artificial Intelligence and innovation are transforming organizations, society, and human experience.

Each episode is a 20-minute dialogue between Francesco “Frankie” Iarlori – AI & Digital Transformation Consultant – and guests from across the world: executives, researchers, creators, and thinkers who are shaping tomorrow through action, curiosity, and vision.

The project was born from a simple idea:
to pause the noise, and listen to people who are truly making sense of the AI era.

The Mission

To create an open, reflective space where global voices share personal insights and professional perspectives on:

• The evolving role of AI in business and society

• How leaders and organizations adapt to intelligent technologies

• The ethical, creative, and cultural dimensions of innovation

• The human side of digital transformation

Each conversation aims to inspire awareness, critical thinking, and positive impact — beyond technical jargon or hype.

A Global Platform

Interviews are conducted in English (and sometimes Italian) and are open to participants from every corner of the world.
The series welcomes guests with at least 10 years of experience in innovation, technology, or leadership, who bring both expertise and a personal vision for the future.

Episodes are featured on:

• 20minwithfrankie.com website
• LinkedIn and YouTube channels
• Collaborative spaces for education and research

Why “20 Minutes”?

Because in a world of speed and overload, 20 minutes is the perfect time to stop, reflect, and share something meaningful.

Every episode is a compact, genuine exchange – not a performance, but a conversation that reveals how people think, feel, and act in the age of intelligent systems.
