Jess and Kyle are joined by their first guest, Sean Bhardwaj from Breakthrough Growth Partners!  This is part one of a two-part series that dives deep into AI transformation and policy fundamentals, and honestly, it's the conversation every business owner needs to hear right now. Spoiler alert: your team is already using AI tools whether you know it or not, and it's time to get strategic about it.Sean brings some serious wisdom about why AI isn't just another productivity hack - it's a foundational shift that requires intentional leadership. He shares why we're not actually late to the AI party (despite what the hype suggests), how this technological shift compares to everything from the printing press to the internet, and why the companies that master "proficiency before efficiency" will dominate the next decade.Plus, we tackle some major AI news that'll affect your business: the EU AI Act is going live way sooner than expected (August 2nd, not 2026!), there's surprisingly good environmental news, and Grok had such a spectacularly bad week.Fair warning: Sean's insights will completely change how you think about AI adoption. This isn't just about tools - it's about transformation, culture change, and building the infrastructure for responsible AI use before you desperately need it.00:00: Intro and Welcome Sean!04:37: Your Team's Secret AI Addiction (And Why You Should Care)09:38: We've Seen This Movie Before: Why This Time Is Different20:50: Can I Touch That AI?
