Most companies are stuck in AI “motion” - pilots, consultants, and tools that never reach production.

In this episode of Moonshot, I’m joined by David Hyman (Co-founder + Board Advisor, Lendi Group) to break down how Lendi shipped a customer-facing AI agent in 16 weeks - and what it really takes to become AI-native in a regulated industry.

We cover:

• Why AI pilots / POCs stall before production
• Project Aurora: rebuilding workflows with AI at the core (not bolting on chat)
• Agentic AI governance: human-on-the-loop vs human-in-the-loop
• Cross-functional hackathons that surface real, shippable AI use cases
• Measuring ROI when the marginal cost of building is collapsing
• The VIC framework: Velocity, Intelligence, Capacity
• How AI agents change skills, culture, trust, and leadership
• Big tech owning the stack: where the next opportunities still exist

If you’re a founder, operator, or leader trying to move beyond AI hype and actually ship, this is a must-listen.
