Your Team is Using AI Right Now and You Have No Idea


Listen Later

Your team is using AI right now—and you probably have no idea.

From Canva to ChatGPT to Zapier, small business employees are quietly automating and creating with AI tools that were never approved, tracked, or reviewed.

In this episode, Kim and Hal shine a light on Shadow AI—the silent wave of innovation happening behind your back—and why ignoring it is costing you time, trust, and money.

Drawing insights from AI strategist Kristina Agustin (Southern Sky AI) and lessons from the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, they break down what every small business owner needs to know about compliance, leadership, and risk in the AI era.

You’ll discover how to:
✅ Spot hidden AI tools in your business (and stop data leaks before they start)

✅ Write a “good enough” AI policy in under an hour

✅ Lead innovation without killing creativity


Because if you’re not leading AI adoption in your company—you’re being led by it.
