Executives are using AI weekly, but frontline adoption is lagging far behind. In this episode, Daniel Carter and Todd Curzon unpack why that gap is not just a technology problem—it’s a leadership accountability problem.

They compare how the challenge shows up across financial services, healthcare, and technology: from compliance and auditability, to patient safety and workflow friction, to speed and the risk of AI theater. The conversation also highlights the AI-Ready Executive cohort as a practical model for turning AI curiosity into real organizational change.

If you’re a newly promoted VP or Director trying to move AI from scattered experimentation to meaningful adoption, this episode is built for you.
