Everyone was told to adopt AI, tried it, got burned — so why do enterprise AI rollouts keep failing? Jonathan Green talks with organizational strategist Rob Lion about the real reasons big AI initiatives miss: unrealistic expectations set by the hype, skipping change management, and the employee mindset of "make my job easier, but not so easy that I'm replaceable." Key Takeaways: • Most enterprise AI failures are change-management failures, not tech failures • The "promise of the commercials" sets expectations the rollout can't meet • If you skip how you roll it out, you bypass the most common path to success • Employees quietly resist: "make my job easier — but not so easy I'm replaceable" • Teach people the why and the workflow, not just "what's an LLM" Notable Quotes: "Make my job easier — but not so easy that I'm replaceable." — Rob Lion "When someone doesn't know what direction they're heading, the rollout's already in trouble." — Rob Lion Connect with Rob Lion: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlion Website: https://blackriverpm.com Enjoyed this?

Are data centers the future of AI — or just the next bubble? Jonathan Green talks with startup advisor and VC Jason Finkelstein about the infrastructure boom behind AI: why the data center buildout mirrors the dot-com era, where the real money in xAI is hiding, and why today's billion-dollar server farms may be obsolete before we finish building them. Key Takeaways: • The data center boom is a bubble — miniaturization will make massive AI infrastructure unnecessary within a decade • Fan base beats technology: companies with loyal ecosystems (Meta, Google) will outlast pure-play AI providers with no secondary revenue • Cybersecurity is the next wave — deepfakes and AI-powered fraud are already outpacing most people's defenses • xAI's IPO reveals where the real AI value lies: 85% of SpaceX's prospectus valuation rests on AI, not rockets • The subscription model is coming for personal computing — the same shift Spotify pulled off with music is heading to AI hardware Notable Quotes: "I'm working right now in a $300 million data center in North Carolina. That's a new wave. But as you see with the iPhone and the technology and the computer, you're spot on. It's going to miniaturize. There's going to be no need for it. There is a bubble with the data centers." — Jason Finkelstein "I think fan base wins out, to be honest with you. I think you get by as long as you have a strong fan base." — Jason Finkelstein Connect with Jason Finkelstein: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonjfinkelstein Enjoyed this?

We think of AI as digital — but can it run a real, physical oil field? Jonathan Green talks with John Hooker of Statistics & Control about AI in high-stakes industrial operations: where automation genuinely helps, where you still need a human who knows the process, and what "half robot, half person" operations actually look like. Key Takeaways: • In high-security, high-production environments, AI augments — it doesn't replace the expert • You still need someone who deeply knows the process to supervise the automation • The future is "half robot, half person" — humans and AI running operations together • Real-world signals (fuel flow, water, pressures) are where AI earns its keep • "Adopt AI" means knowing exactly what to hand it and what to keep human Notable Quotes: "It's almost like it's half robot, half person." — John Hooker "You need somebody who's very familiar with that process." — John Hooker Connect with John Hooker: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndhooker Company: Statistics & Control Inc (West Des Moines, IA) Website: https://stctrl.com/ Enjoyed this?

Most business problems are misdiagnosed. Jonathan Green talks with operations and leadership consultant Jon Bassford about how to actually diagnose your organization — from management style to culture to broken systems — why the same idea gets ignored from the inside but embraced from an outside voice, and how to bring AI into a company without triggering fear or negativity. Key Takeaways: • Diagnose the whole organization — management style, operations, culture — not just the symptoms • The same idea is dismissed internally but embraced from an outside consultant; use that dynamic • Help leaders vet ideas and make decisions — don't just hand them more options • Introduce AI into the organization gradually (start in meetings, build comfort) • Don't let the team sink into negativity about AI — lead them through it Notable Quotes: "It's everything from our management style down to the smallest systems." — Jon Bassford "Someone brought the exact same idea from outside — and suddenly it landed." — Jon Bassford Connect with Jon Bassford: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonbassford Website: https://think-lateral.com Personal: https://johnbassford.com Enjoyed this?

Is AI quietly erasing the hands-on knowledge that keeps our infrastructure running? Jonathan Green talks with Keith Schafer — part of multiple generations in critical power and engine infrastructure — about what happens when we over-trust AI, why "artificial intelligence" isn't truly intelligent, and how the expertise powering the coming wave of AI data centers is the very knowledge we're at risk of losing. Key Takeaways: • Over-relying on AI erodes hard-won institutional knowledge and hands-on troubleshooting instincts • "AI" isn't truly intelligent — blindly trusting it (like following GPS off the road) is dangerous in the physical world • The infrastructure powering AI data centers depends on expertise that's quietly disappearing • Safety and reliability come first — some systems simply have to run (engines at 20 below) • Capture multi-generational knowledge before it walks out the door Notable Quotes: "The first time I used GPS, it told me to drive off [the road]." — Keith Schafer "As cool as it is, it's not truly artificial intelligence." — Keith Schafer Connect with Keith Schafer: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-w-schafer-19833a22 Enjoyed this?
