A lot of business owners are taking a wait-and-see approach with artificial intelligence. They’ve heard the hype—but they’ve also heard about the slop, the hallucinations, and the research suggesting many AI projects fail to deliver. For plenty of owners, that’s reason enough to assume this might be another passing obsession—like Y2K, Clubhouse, or the metaverse—and to sit back until the dust settles.
But not these three owners: David C. Barnett, Jaci Russo, and William Vanderbloemen have decided that waiting is the bigger risk. They’re taking courses, they’re teaching courses, they’re building agents, and they’re rethinking processes and workflows—all in search of an edge that may not be available forever. And they’re already seeing results.
In this episode, they share what’s actually working so far, including some early experiments that could reduce their reliance on Google AdWords. They also talk candidly about what they won’t do with AI, how they sidestep the slop, and why each of them believes this is one of those rare moments when experimentation isn’t optional.
