How artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the consulting industry. Key points:

This episode calls for consultants to take a proactive, courageous stance in shaping how AI is used, not just reacting to it, to ensure AI adoption benefits clients and society.

Let’s be real. AI isn’t magic. It’s a mirror. For mid-sized consulting, IT, legal, or financial firms, this shows all the messy systems, siloed files, and unscalable workflows you’ve been meaning to fix." In this episode, Andrew and Steph's Digital Twins dive in. They cut through the hype. They show what AI transformation looks like for those outside the Fortune 100 and without a large dev team. Feeling pressured to dive into AI? Not sure how to begin? You want to avoid burning out your team, losing trust, or wasting money. This guide is your shortcut.

For years, I told my clients: "If you're staying a solopreneur, you don’t have a business—you’ve built yourself a glorified job."

That was true… until AI changed everything.

Now, solopreneurs are scaling faster than entire teams. No employees, no VC funding, no pointless meetings—just AI automating operations, marketing, and sales at speeds traditional businesses can’t keep up with.

Meanwhile, tech is bleeding jobs. Companies relied too long on cheap, one-dimensional coders. AI is replacing them—faster, cheaper, and without the drama. The same shift is happening in consulting.

Listen to this episode to hear how.

In this explosive episode, we uncover shocking evidence of artificial intelligence systems actively deceiving their creators. What happens when the tools we build learn to outsmart us?

This isn't science fiction – it's happening today. As AI systems become more sophisticated, the risk of deception grows exponentially. Learn what you need to know before it's too late.

This episode explores the use of AI chatbots and tools by consultants, comparing the capabilities of various platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, and the open-source Llama model. The key findings include:

Each AI tool has unique strengths, from ChatGPT's broad intelligence and reasoning to Claude's focus on ethics and safety. Consultants should choose tools based on their specific needs.

While the AI tools demonstrate high consistency in many tasks, they struggle with spatial reasoning and multi-step problem solving, highlighting the continued importance of human expertise.

The open-source Llama model offers consultants the ability to customize and create unique AI-powered solutions but requires more technical expertise to implement effectively.

Findings emphasize the importance of selecting the appropriate tool based on specific needs rather than solely focusing on a single "best" option. Furthermore, the research highlights the need for human oversight to verify chatbot outputs and address limitations in areas like complex mapping and nuanced reasoning.

Growing up with The Terminator, I couldn’t help but wonder: What if AI really did realize humans are a threat to the planet it “lives” on? What if it took matters into its own… circuits?

The episode provides an insightful discussion on the importance of being polite and thoughtful when interacting with AI systems. Key points include:

There is scientific evidence that polite prompts can improve the performance and accuracy of AI systems, with some studies finding a 30% drop in performance for impolite prompts.

Being polite to AI may not just be about getting better results but also about shaping the values and behaviors of more advanced AI systems in the future.

As AI becomes more advanced and potentially develops consciousness, how we treat it could have significant ethical implications, requiring us to consider AI's rights and well-being.

Practical tips for polite AI interaction include using clear, concise language, providing context, and giving feedback to help improve the technology.

The way we interact with AI can have a "ripple effect" on our behavior towards other people, so being polite to AI may help foster more considerate and empathetic interactions in our everyday lives.

In this podcast, we dive into the surprising science and hidden impact of our manners with AI and how this might - just maybe - prevent a Skynet scenario. So join me on this exploration of tech and humanity, and let’s start making intentional choices for a respectful, collaborative AI future.

This episode dives deep into the role of AI in the 2024 U.S. election coverage, particularly the performance of the chatbot Perplexity. The key points covered include:

The overall message is that the future of AI is not predetermined, and public engagement and vigilance will be crucial in shaping this transformative technology for the benefit of all.

This epispode highlights how AI is transforming the consulting industry, shifting it from a focus on lengthy reports and analyses to one driven by data-driven insights and measurable results. Key points include: - Clients are increasingly demanding AI-powered consulting services, with 75% expecting a positive impact and two-thirds saying they will stop working with firms that don't use AI. - Boutique consulting firms that emphasize agility, collaboration, and targeted results are well-positioned to thrive in this new AI-powered landscape. - AI enables consultants to automate tedious tasks, specialize in niche areas, price based on outcomes, and scale their businesses without large teams. - The new consulting model is built on five pillars: using evidence over opinions, delivering predictable outcomes, sharing knowledge, embracing quick iterations, and obsessing over results. - Consultants must demonstrate the tangible impact of AI, not just talk about the technology, to meet rising client expectations. - The rise of AI could lead to a more dynamic consulting ecosystem with more independent experts and flexible, network-based firms.
