More about you and AI
Why do some companies soar with AI while others barely lift off? 'Me, Myself, and AI' tackles that puzzle with clarity and depth. Hosted by Sam Ransbotham and Shervin Khodabandeh, this podcast goes beyond the buzzwords to explore how organisations implement AI - and what separates success from stagnation. It's less about code, more about culture, leadership and strategic risk-taking. What makes it compelling is its real-world focus. The hosts talk to leaders from organisations like Nasa and Shopify who openly share their AI journeys - complete with missteps, breakthroughs and lessons learnt. These stories highlight how the right mindset and willingness to adapt can turn emerging tech into tangible results. A standout episode Reskilling the Workforce With AI: Harvard Business School's Raffaella Sadun features HBS' Sadun, who unpacks how AI is reshaping workforce dynamics and pushing the boundaries of team collaboration. Her research shows how AI can speed up problem-solving and, at times, replace traditional team structures entirely, without sacrificing quality or innovation. Whether you're in tech, strategy, or just curious about AI's impact on work, this podcast delivers smart, practical insights in every episode.

Campaigner says 'it's heartbreaking' as Birmingham shown 'what we could have won'
When a National Trust vision for one of Birmingham's most significant streets was shared this week, it sparked hope for Brummies who wish to see it thrive once more. Station Street is the home to three significant spaces, the country's oldest repertory theatre The Old Rep, the Electric Cinema - the UK's oldest working cinema before it closed in 2024 - and The Crown pub, known for being the birthplace of heavy metal. Of those three on the 120m-long street, only The Old Rep remains open to visitors, with the future of both The Crown and The Electric Cinema uncertain. Read more: Council moves to 'reassure' residents after images of 'significant' Birmingham street unveiled Read more: Vision to completely transform 'important' Birmingham city centre street Campaigners who have worked to protect Station Street have now spoken out about the National Trust images, which form part of a wider document that shows what the area could look like were stakeholders to step up and invest in protecting it. It's understood that the document has been shared with Birmingham City Council, the West Midlands Combined Authority and other interested parties, though no formal plan for Station Street has been forthcoming since the vision was revealed. Among those involved in the development of the vision document is Jez Collins, a campaigner from the Birmingham Music Archive, who was intrinsic in securing a Grade-II listing for The Crown. He said: "I think the fact an institution such as the National Trust sees the cultural value of Station Street shows us Brummies just how unique the street is. "The visuals by Intervention Architecture haven't come out of thin air. Myself and Ian Francis from Flatpack Festival worked with them to create an alternative vision and there is also a lot of economic data and case studies that supports the financial viability of such an approach. "They've taken all this and come up with a beautiful vision that is achievable if the will is there. But is it? "I think it's a huge opportunity for Birmingham to lead the way on a culture led regeneration of Station Street. "Who wouldn't want to see a reimagined and reopened Crown showcasing our brilliant music, The Electric being a film hub for aspiring actors, directors, cinematographers and Brummie cinephiles and The Old Rep nurturing the future stars of stage and screen all on a pedestrianised, active and vibrant street? "I'd love this to influence the developers and landowners!" Darren John runs the Save Station Street campaign. He says that the lack of action since the document was created is 'heartbreaking'. Darren said: "We're pleased to see these plans are now publicly available. "Like Jim Bowen said on Bullseye, it's a real 'look what you could have won' moment: an arts led celebration of Brum cultural history and rejuvenation of the UK's most historic grassroots arts street for future Brummie greats, residents and tourists. "We're astonished that those in power didn't bite the hand off the National Trust to pursue this vision for Station Street. "Council leaders and the mayor should have been banging down the door of the Culture Secretary for the money to make this a reality. "It is heartbreaking to see the lack of urgency and vision from those who could be driving a unique, globally appealing cultural attraction in the heart of Birmingham that is as joyously Brummie as Joe Lycett, in fancy dress as Ozzy Osbourne, riding the Bullring bull round the Rotunda". You can see the full gallery of images, created by Digbeth design company Intervention Architecture, in this gallery. Birmingham City Council has responded to the images, saying it is committed to preserving the future of Station Street.

Here's What Teen Guys Actually Think About Bath & Body Works' New Luxury Cologne Collection (& the Designer Scents They're Duping)
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. It's no secret that teen guys have totally elevated their scent game, with many shopping for fragrances that can only be found at high-end department stores, and of course, Sephora. Considering how costly some colognes can be even for the average adult, a teen dropping upwards of $100 for the sake of 'smelling good' might seem a bit excessive and out of reach — which is probably why products like Axe became such a phenomenon in the early 2000s. But now, there's a new collection of body sprays that's sure to find its way onto every teen boy's dresser, and it's already getting a ton of love online. More from SheKnows Super Cute Spring Dresses From Free People, Lilly Pulitzer & More Are Up to 80% Off at Nordstrom's Presidents' Day Sale Today's Top Deals Target's New Fall Collection Just Dropped & Several Items Are on Sale This Portable Power Station Is Perfect for Fall Camping & It's Nearly 50% Off Gobble Is Offering $100 Off Your Next 4 Meal Kits Earlier this month, Bath & Body Works released a new collection of men's fragrances that the internet can't stop talking about. Plenty of shoppers have noticed these new scents smell oh-so similar and, dare we say, just as good (if not better) to some well-known and very expensive colognes on the market. And to put them to the test, we tapped the teenage guys in our staffers' lives, including members of our Teen Council, to see if these scents are genuinely that good. With five new fragrances that range from $20 to $60, this new collection is a way more affordable option for teen boys who love to smell as good as possible on a budget. They're supposed to be comparable to big-name brands, like Chanel's Bleu de CHANEL, YSL's Myself, and even Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540, which notoriously starts at $200 for a bottle that's a little over one ounce in size. So, we asked a handful of teens (with impeccable taste), ages 13 to 19, to wear and test the new Bath & Body Works Everyday Luxuries Men body sprays. Below, read all about their thoughts on the scents they love (and the others they 'don't mess with,') to see if they're really worth it — and shop the new cologne mists for yourself. FYI, since it is Bath & Body Works, where you can always find a sale, you can get three of these body sprays (or any other body, skin, or hair care) for free when you buy three full-sized ones. Just use code B3G3 at checkout, and you can try the entire collection for less. BATH & BODY WORKS MEN'S LUXURY COLLECTION 2025 $19 Buy Now With a name like 'My Signature,' this cologne mist could easily be your teen's next go-to scent. It has golden pineapple, orange flower, and tonka bean aromas that have a 'very nice [and] fresh citrusy note,' according to Wylie, 13. Although Bath & Body Works describes it as 'a much-needed escape to a tropical beach,' you would think it's a good scent for summer. However, a lot of the boys felt differently. According to Wylie, 'This would be good for autumn,' while Coby, 15, said, it's 'better for colder months and smells like Armani's Stronger With You.' BATH & BODY WORKS MEN'S LUXURY COLLECTION 2025 $19 Buy Now 'This one is manly. This one speaks business,' said Cameron, 17. With notes of fresh ginger, rich cedarwood, and vetiver, we can totally see why. Many shoppers, Coby included, think that Eau So Navy is a dupe of Bleu de Chanel. 'It's a really clean scent,' he shared. It is important to note that the cologne is very potent, which can be a turn-off to some. So, even though our teen guys only tested out body mists, Colin, 19, felt this was 'too cologne-y and strong.' BATH & BODY WORKS MEN'S LUXURY COLLECTION 2025 $19 Buy Now For the guys who like Creed, this is the one to get. Most of social media, along with Clive and Coby, both 15, agree that Bath & Body Works' Glory cologne mist smells just like Creed Aventus. 'It's an easy-going scent,' Clive told us. 'Glory is less leathery, more woody, and is like 5% of the cost [of Creed], so that's a big plus.' With notes like electric lemon, patchouli, and blonde cedar, we can see how Cameron and Colin, 19, felt that it was on the 'sweeter' and 'fruitier' side. 'It kind of smells like sticking your head in a bag of dried flowers,' said Cameron. 'I would wear this one,' said Colin. '[It] smells lighter and fruitier than the rest.' BATH & BODY WORKS MEN'S LUXURY COLLECTION 2025 $19 Buy Now For a fresh, citrus aroma, Hues of Blue is the one to reach for. Most of the boys liked how 'fresh' and 'citrusy' this one smelled compared to My Signature. 'If I could surgically implant this into my nose, I would,' Cameron said, adding that it was his favorite scent out of the five. When comparing it to another scent on the market, Coby thought it was 'a lot like Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue. It's really citrusy and fresh, like something you'd probably wear in the summer.' Theo, 15, agreed that it would be better for the warmer months. '[It] smells like you just came out of the shower, low key. I like it. I think this would be better in the spring or summer.' BATH & BODY WORKS MEN'S LUXURY COLLECTION 2025 $19 Buy Now '[Rouge Rebel] smells like Baccarat Rouge 540, which is not my favorite,' admitted Clive. 'It's a little more feminine-smelling. It's very musky and sweet.' And with notes like sparkling apples, amber woods, and sugared musk, we can see why. Wylie also thought it was 'apple-y and fruity,' saying, 'It'd be good for colder weather. It's subtle. It's not an overpowering scent.' Overwhelmingly, our teen testers enjoyed the scents — the only two negatives were that the packaging felt 'cheap and plasticky,' and that the mists didn't last as long on the skin as they did on fabric and clothing. To be fair, these are the body mist versions, so naturally, they'll be a little more subtle than actual colognes. Bath & Body Works does, however, have cologne versions of the scents above. So that's always an option if you love the scent of the body sprays, but want something longer-lasting. With that said, if you want to shop the new men's fragrances, you can find the entire collection here. The collection also features traditional cologne and body wash.
