In this episode, we go deep with someone who truly knows his stuff.

Isar Meitis is a CEO, tech founder, and educator with decades of experience helping businesses grow. He’s also an incredibly thoughtful voice in the world of AI. I was privileged to sit down with him for a wide-ranging conversation that took a few unexpected turns.

We talked about the big picture: where AI is headed, what it means for humanity, and why some of the existential threats are worth taking seriously. But we also brought it back to the practical: what businesses should be doing right now to adapt, stay relevant, and make the most of this transformative technology.

Isar shares why leadership buy-in is the single biggest predictor of success with AI, and how training and education are essential if you want your team to use these tools effectively.

Whether you're optimistic, cautious, or just plain curious about AI, this episode will give you both a reality check and a roadmap.

In this episode:

• The two biggest priorities for businesses adopting AI

• Why companies must shift from efficiency thinking to value thinking

• Isar’s take on the most important skills for the future

• The surprising dangers of blind optimism
