AI is not going away, and most leaders know they’re behind. In this episode of The Lounge, Brian H. Munroe (Founder, MTI Global) breaks down where CEOs and founders should actually start with AI, how to avoid “key man risk” when one internal expert holds all the knowledge, and why the best first move is using AI as a thought partner that challenges your board deck, strategy, and blind spots.

We also dive into real business use cases (after hours AI agents, call centers, data entry, workflow automation), what “agentic AI” really means, and why the future looks like an org chart of AI agents talking to each other. If you want to grow smarter, move faster, and keep the human experience intact, this is the playbook.
