Episode Synopsis
If you've ever wondered how to actually navigate the AI revolution—without getting crushed by it—then you must hear this one. John Girard, serial tech CEO and modern-day philosopher, breaks down what most businesses are getting dangerously wrong about AI adoption—and what to do instead.This isn’t just about optimizing workflows—it’s really about whether your business survives the next decade. We unpack the AI enablement wave, why it’s eerily similar to the dot-com boom (and bust), and how solopreneurs and Fortune 50s alike can avoid becoming obsolete. Whether you're a curious founder, a hesitant exec, or a policy-overwhelmed leader, this convo is your wake-up call.📋 Show NotesWhy every business is now an AI business (even if it doesn’t know it yet)The 5 core areas where AI will hit first: customer support, sales, marketing, HR, and operationsJohn’s wild vision of “AI enablement consultants” as the new web designers of the 2000sWhat most companies get totally wrong about AI strategyThe “AI policy vs. AI framework” debate—and where to startShocking story: how one company 2X’d their valuation with just 10% of their AI plan implementedMischa and John’s honest take on aging, AI longevity, and the spiritual implications of large language modelsStartup throwbacks: what dot-com era lessons still hold true in 2025Why teenagers and solopreneurs may secretly have a leg up in this next tech waveConnect with John's on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-girard-a4916/
