In today’s episode of Branducation, me and David Mantica break down the real state of AI in business, what companies are getting completely wrong, and how to actually use these tools without wasting time, money, or resources. From failed large-scale AI rollouts to unused enterprise licenses, we unpack why most organizations rushed in without a strategy and what they should have done instead.
We also discuss the difference between AI hype and real use cases, why most teams were never properly trained, and how simple frameworks like policies, constraints, and focused use cases can unlock real productivity. From personal workflows to enterprise-level automation, this conversation cuts through the noise and gives you a practical way to think about AI today.
If you’ve been wondering where to start with AI, how to avoid common mistakes, or how this technology will actually impact your business over the next few years, this episode delivers clarity in a space filled with confusion.
