Episode 32AI has digested the entire Internet. Every research paper, every novel, every forum post, every Wikipedia article. And yet, as Jason points out in the opening of this episode, AI has never once experienced gravity. Never picked up a hammer. Never stood awkwardly next to another person trying to film a podcast.That gap between what AI knows and what humans have actually lived through is the thread Brett Adams and Jason McKenzie pull on for the whole conversation. And it leads somewhere unexpected: AI is not the threat most small business owners think it is, but the people who refuse to use it are about to look like the $50 million company that, well into the 2010s, still had one employee whose entire job was printing out incoming emails and putting them on everyone's desks.That company existed. It is a true story. And the modern equivalent is happening in small businesses right now.Things they get into:Why Toyota makes new executives stand in a taped-off box on the production floor for hours just to watch what's happening, and why "going to see for yourself" still beats every dashboard ever builtThe bodybuilder couple at the campsite eating lollipops and drinking Dr Pepper for breakfast, and what it took Brett a while to figure out about post-competition cyclesThe leadership team drowning in interruptions while their owner refused to consider AI, and the moment they realized AI could handle the very things stealing their dayThe big company in 2012 with the AOL email account and one employee whose job was to print emails and hand them out, and why most small businesses today are doing the same thing in their own wayThe employee who burned through 20,000 AI tokens in a few hours by accidentally pointing the model at the entire internet, and the guardrails every company needs before turning anyone loose with AIWhy 70 percent of AI implementations fail, and the underlying truth: you cannot automate chaos, you have to fix the system firstThe high school teacher who lets her students use AI but grades them on the research process, the rough draft, and how they actually worked with the toolThe neighbor who tested six different AI detection programs and found they did not work at all, including labeling decade-old human writing as AIThe man with a PhD in dance, and why a society that can afford that kind of specialization is a society where AI lifts the playing field for everyoneThe closer: the homeless person walking around with a smartphone has access to technology the wealthiest person on earth could not have imagined 200 years ago, and that is the direction AI is going to push humanity if we let itChapters:00:00 The awkward setup that made them go remote01:17 Toyota's "go and see" principle01:54 When was the last time AI experienced gravity?03:11 The robot dog from China and what AI still cannot do04:18 The bodybuilders eating lollipops for breakfast06:54 Why walking the floor matters in your business09:35 The $50 million company that still printed every email12:13 The leadership team drowning in interruptions14:08 Email is to fax machine as AI is to email16:11 The employee who burned through 20,000 AI tokens in hours17:48 Why 70 percent of AI implementations fail20:18 The teacher who grades the process, not just the output22:59 The AI detection programs that do not work25:25 The PhD in dance and what prosperity actually buys us27:57 The homeless person with a smartphone vs the wealthiest person 200 years ago30:00 The best time to be alive is nowGrazora Life, helping small business owners build businesses that propel them, not crush them.
