AI is transforming the way we do business, but if you're a heart-led entrepreneur, it's important to remember: AI can't replace you.In this episode, I'm sharing why the rise of AI actually makes building the business owner more important than ever.AI can help you save time, generate ideas, and simplify your workload, but it can't hold your vision, exercise your values or use your voice for you. It can't sit with the uncertainty between action and traction, or help you build the self-trust and courage required to lead a business that's meaningful, sustainable and true to you.We'll explore the small but powerful difference between using AI as support and letting AI take over, and how that shift determines whether your business becomes an authentic expression of your purpose, or just another product of the algorithm.If you want to use AI wisely, without losing what makes your business yours, this episode is for you.L xoThe Build the Business Owner Entrepreneur Training programmeFind out more here: https://lindenturner.com/btboBook your (no obligation) call here: https://link.feacreate.com/widget/bookings/btbo-clarity-call/btboetpclaritycallCreated specifically for online, impact-driven solo / micro-business owners who are fed up with wondering what more they need to do to see business results (like signing clients, making sales, increasing their impact & influence through audience growth) and instead wish they could feel clear and confident on next steps (again and again and again).No more hesitation.

We're celebrating 100 episodes of AI Knowhow and asking: what have the last two years of AI actually taught us? Courtney, David, and Mohan rewind the tape to trace how far AI and executive thinking have come since episode 1 of the show all the way back in September 2023. What began as a curiosity is now a boardroom priority. But while the tech has sprinted ahead, the biggest barriers aren't technical: they're cultural, organizational, and deeply human. The team shares what's surprised them (Wendy's drive-thru, anyone?), what still hasn't landed (where's the breakout AI-native device?), and what leaders need to carry into the next two years.  And Pete Buer joins to reflect on some of his favorite conversations and the people shaping the future with care, not just code.

Adam Brotman and Andy Sack sit down with Henrik and Jeremy to unpack their book AI First and the framework they have developed for leaders. They argue that AI is not just another technology wave but a leadership reset that demands new playbooks, new structures and new ways of thinking.They explain why AI should be seen as an augmentation of human intelligence, an “Ironman suit” for leaders, and how mindset, experimentation and governance are essential to adoption. The conversation also explores organizational redesign, the role of executives in fostering AI literacy and the urgency of adapting quickly as the technology advances.This episode offers a practical and forward-looking discussion on how leaders can integrate AI across their organizations, build cultures of experimentation and future-proof their businesses in a rapidly changing landscape.Key Takeaways: AI is a leadership reset, not just a technology shift.Adam and Andy argue that AI demands a new playbook for leaders. It is not simply another tool, like mobile or digital before it, but a force that changes how companies are structured, how decisions are made, and how leaders must think about competition.AI should be treated as a co-intelligence tool — an “Ironman suit” for leaders.Instead of replacing humans, AI augments their capabilities. Leaders who embrace AI can make smarter, faster decisions and guide their organizations more effectively. The metaphor of the Ironman suit captures this idea of augmentation rather than substitution.Culture and experimentation matter more than the tools.Mindset, governance, and a willingness to experiment are the foundations of becoming AI-first. Adam and Andy stress that companies need structures like AI councils, experimentation frameworks, and a culture that celebrates rapid prototyping in order to integrate AI across the organization.The urgency is real: companies that delay will fall behind.Jeremy and Henrik underline this in their closing reflections — businesses cannot treat AI as optional or wait for perfect clarity. The pace of change is accelerating, and organizations that don't engage now risk losing ground permanently, while those that act can reinvent themselves and secure long-term advantage.Forum3: Digital Strategy for the AI Era | Forum3AI First book: AI First Book | Forum3Andy LinkedIn: Andy Sack | LinkedInAdam LinkedIn: Adam Brotman | LinkedIn00:00 Intro: The Urgency of AI00:19 Meet the Authors & The Premise of AI First03:43 Defining an AI-Forward Leader05:02 Adoption, Resistance & the AI Wake-Up Call08:01 Why Mindset Matters More Than Tools09:39 Experimentation, Governance & AI Culture14:09 Re-architecting Organizations for AI28:42 Balancing Innovation and Safety35:45 The Evolution of AI Safety37:46 Open Source vs. Closed Source Debate40:07 AI's Role in Organizational Agility41:32 Human Augmentation & Co-Intelligence42:34 The Future of AI and Autonomous Agents46:14 Prototyping, Vibe Coding & Rapid Innovation54:02 The Future of Organizational Design & Final Reflections

In this episode of The ROCC Pod, we dive deep into the world of emotionally intelligent AI with Christine Chubenko of CodeBaby. Jon hosts solo while Lisais away, and together with Christine, we explore how AI is reshaping business efficiency, customer interaction, and our daily digital experience.We begin by learning about CodeBaby, a platform that powers emotionally intelligent avatars capable of handling repetitive customer service tasks on behalf of businesses. These avatars go far beyond the likes of "Clippy" — they can smile, laugh, and emulate human responses, allowing businesses to provide 24/7 assistance that reflects their brand tone and values. Christine emphasizes that users maintain full control over their data and avatar behavior, which can evolve over time as the business grows or shifts.Christine shares examples from retail and healthcare. In stores, avatars answer common customer questions, freeing up human staff to focus on higher-priority tasks. In medical practices, avatars or even holograms can offer patients a safe space to ask questions — particularly beneficial for older patients who may hesitate to speak directly to doctors. ("But they're so busy!")As we discuss the broader AI landscape, Christine explains her career roots in computer science and AI, dating back to the 1990s. While the foundation of AI has remained rooted in pattern recognition and statistical models like k-nearest neighbor, the scale and sophistication of modern AI have exploded. She debunks the myth that AI is sentient — emphasizing that despite the human-like responses, these systems are still just machines built by humans with clear limitations and no true consciousness.We explore how AI is already part of our everyday lives through Siri, Alexa, social media algorithms, smart appliances, and personalized streaming suggestions. Christine argues that AI's role is to reduce tedious tasks — not replace humans entirely. Jobs that require emotional nuance, tactile presence, or creativity (like nurses or preschool teachers) remain well out of AI's reach. Meanwhile, automation can fill gaps where businesses struggle to hire, like in food service or basic admin roles.Christine also breaks down what makes AI emotionally intelligent: prompt engineering. It's not just about asking a question; it's about asking it the right way, setting the tone, and defining the persona you want the AI to emulate. For instance, telling ChatGPT to answer as a cardiovascular surgeon or in a humorous tone drastically alters the output.To close, Christine encourages listeners who are curious about AI to simply sign up for a tool like ChatGPT and ask, “Where do I start?” That simple first step leads to powerful learning. She reminds us that while AI may seem intimidating, it's just another tool — and it's one we can all learn to wield effectively.More:Email Christine: cchubenko@codebaby.comCodeBaby Website: https://www.codebaby.com/ Learn more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce: https://www.royaloakchamber.com/Connect with our hosts:Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Century 21 Northland - http://soldbylisab.com/
