It's that time again—budget season. But how do you plan AI spending for a future that keeps shifting?

Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker is joined by CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product & Technology Officer Mohan Rao to unpack how leaders can budget for AI in 2026 without wasting spend or missing out. The takeaway? Don't budget for "AI"—budget for solving real business problems. From aligning with KPIs to adopting a 70/20/10 allocation model, they outline how to move from pilots to scalable, ROI-focused AI investments.

Next, Pete Buer sits down with Alex Kelleher, CEO of Quantum Rise, who makes the case for thinking in products, not projects. He explains why agility, measurable KPIs, and shared risk models are redefining how consulting delivers AI value—and how your business can adopt the same mindset.

Plus: A new segment, "What's Your Password (And Why Is It 123456)?", reveals how even global giants like McDonald's are still failing cybersecurity 101—and what AI-powered defenses can help you do better.
