What did 2025 teach us about AI leadership? For me, it taught three critical lessons:
- Executive dysregulation is the hidden crisis,
- Shadow AI reveals what your people actually need, and
- Transformation requires partnership—not information.
In this personal reflection episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on AI Cafe Conversations Podcast's journey to the top 2% of podcasts globally and sharing what we're building together in 2026.
You'll hear:
- Why I almost quit this podcast three times in 2025
- How we became #63,514 out of 4 million podcasts (top 2%)
- What makes AI Cafe Conversations Podcast' different from every other AI leadership show
- The vision for 2026: The Path Forward series, workshops, speaking, and scaling
- Three questions to close 2025 with intention and build 2026 with clarity
I'm asking you: What are you TAKING from 2025? What are you LEAVING BEHIND? What are you BUILDING in 2026?
This isn't a typical episode. It's a thank you. A reflection. And an invitation to build the future of AI leadership together.
Featured Concept: Human-centered AI leadership and the power of community
