Episode notes

Today we have a special episode breaking down how investors are using AI.

This is a question I get from many of you, and while there is no shortage of content on the implications of AI, I know there's an appetite to learn more about tangible use cases, how to make sure you're getting the most out of these tools, how to think about advancements in the technology, and ensuring that you're keeping pace with the innovation curve.

So my guest today is David Plon, Founder of Portrait Analytics. Now, David and Portrait have been partners of Business Breakdowns since last year, but I specifically asked David to do this episode because, one, he is really front and center to how investors are using and applying AI. But two, and maybe more importantly, he and his team come with a background in investing.

So while the conversation doesn’t really focus on Portrait, you’ll hear references to what he and his team are building and how they’ve shaped it for investors, you’ll very much understand when you hear David talk that he is someone who understands the pain points of an investor.

I think everyone will find something in this episode that will benefit them in their day to day, and I would love to hear the feedback.
