3207: The Future of AI in Business: Learn, Apply, and Lead

AI is transforming businesses' operations, but are executives ready to lead this revolution? In this episode, I sit down with Greg Shove, CEO of Section, to discuss the most significant mistakes leaders make when adopting AI and why many companies are falling behind despite all the hype. Greg, a seasoned entrepreneur and AI strategist, shares why leaders must go beyond buzzwords and get hands-on with AI to drive real impact. He explains how organizations can build a scrappy but effective AI strategy, why CFOs increasingly embrace AI-driven efficiency, and what that means for future jobs. We also discuss how AI reshapes everyday decision-making, from the workplace to personal productivity. Beyond the corporate world, Greg highlights a more significant concern—Big Tech's control over AI. Drawing from past experiences in Silicon Valley, he warns that AI might follow the same playbook as social media and cloud computing: get everyone hooked, then raise the price. If AI becomes indispensable, are businesses at risk of outsourcing too much cognition to just a few dominant players? From AI's impact on job security to how leaders can create an AI-powered workforce, this conversation challenges conventional thinking on AI adoption. Whether you're an executive looking to integrate AI into your strategy or an employee navigating the shift, this episode is packed with insights to help you stay ahead. Is AI genuinely democratizing knowledge, or are we just making ourselves more dependent on a handful of companies? And how can leaders ensure they're leveraging AI as a strategic asset rather than just another tool? Tune in to find out.
