The Reasoning Show
The Reasoning Show AI moves fast. Thinking clearly matters more. The Reasoning Show cuts through the hype to explore how the smartest people in enterprise AI actually make decisions — the strategy, the tradeoffs, and the hard lessons no press release mentions. Every week, hosts Aaron Delp and Brian Gracely sit down with the founders building the tools, investors funding the shift, and operators running AI in the real world. Not hype. Not panic. Just clear-headed conversations with people who have to make actual decisions. Because the AI revolution isn't just happening. It's being reasoned through. New shows every Wednesday and Sunday. Topics: Enterprise AI strategy · LLMs in production · AI leadership · Agentic AI · Digital Sovereignty · Machine Learning · AI startups · Cloud Computing
