IAP EP 154 Payroll Needs to Embrace AI Now or Get Left Behind: CEO of Asinpa, Gustavo Vasconcelos talks Tech with IAP!

Episode 154: Financing Coachella Tickets, Payroll Innovation in Schools, and AI’s Future in Payroll with Gustavo Vasconcelos In this power-packed episode of It’s About Payroll, Brian and Walt uncover some eye-opening realities: 60% of Coachella attendees had to finance their tickets — highlighting America's deep paycheck-to-paycheck crisis. We discuss why even meals are now being financed and how it ties back to broader payroll and financial wellness challenges. A look into outdated payroll tech in education — where pulling a simple time report once took 90 minutes — and how new tech is speeding things up to just 30 seconds. Special guest Gustavo Vascons, CEO of Empa, joins to share his journey from technical expert to payroll innovator. He dives deep into how cybersecurity, AI, and education are vital to payroll's future. We debate whether AI will quietly creep into payroll or crash in at full speed — and why companies need to prepare now or risk becoming the "Blockbuster" of the payroll world. 🎙️ Plus: Special bonus for listeners!
