| 6/24/26 | ![]() Amra Tareen, CEO & Co-Founder, ALL3D.AI | “Spinning Cycles”This week Andrew welcomes Amra Tareen, serial entrepreneur and CEO of ALL3D.AI, for a conversation that starts with laundry—and never really leaves it. Across four startups and two decades of building at the intersection of design, e-commerce, and emerging technology, Amra has mastered the art of the pivot: reading the spin cycle, knowing when to hold on, and knowing when to let the machine do its thing.Amra traces the through-line from her early days scaling Decorist’s 3D visualization platform, through her time as Head of Innovation at Bed Bath & Beyond, to launching ALL3D.AI during COVID—and now repositioning it for a world increasingly powered by generative AI. Andrew and Amra dig into what it actually takes to build and sustain a startup through multiple waves of technological change, how to validate a problem worth solving before you start, and why giving creative professionals more control—not less—is the real unlock of AI-powered workflows.They also explore the concept of dematerialization, what happens when AI imagery begins to outpace photography, and why Amra believes the future belongs to the specialized, the persistent, and the passionate.Connect with our host, Andrew Lane, on LinkedInFollow Amra Tareen on LinkedInReferences and resourcesALL3D.AIGet in touch with us at bte@sandowdesign.comDiscover more shows from SURROUND at surroundpodcasts.comThis episode of Barriers to Entry was produced by Rob Schulte.This episode of Barriers to Entry is presented in partnership with ALL3D.AI.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. | — | ||||||

| 8/20/24 | ![]() Joel Krieger: Head of Creative, Content & Experience, Magic Leap | This week, Bobby and Andrew get into their flow state with an enlightening conversation about the intersection of technology and creativity with Magic Leap’s Joel Krieger. In a conversation that ranges from the benefits of stretching outside of your comfort zone, to the differences of the impacts of AR and VR in a creative process, to leaving the world a better place than we found it, we go deep with a pro who’s been on the bleeding edge of designing experiences across the physical and digital world since before the creator of the term ‘phygital’ coined their first portmanteau. Ok, we can’t verify that last statement, but you won’t want to miss this one.Connect with our hosts on LinkedIn: Bobby BonettAndrew LaneFollow Joel Krieger on LinkedinReferences and resources:Magic LeapMagic Leap Assist [VIDEO]Magic Leap Workshop [VIDEO]Second Story Outside In Podcast Royal Society of Arts AR vs VR - what’s the difference?
