Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing · The AI Headlines You Should Be Most Suspicious Of · 28 Jun 2026 podcast

There's a lot of change going on and a lot of motion.

And I don't think anybody has it figured out.

So any company that looks like they have it all figured out, I'd be suspicious of.

I think it's when you're building both the foundation and the growth, when you can enable both.

And there are tough choices you have to make along the way.

But the important thing is to look not just where you're going tomorrow, but also in the future.

So for it to be sustainable, you sometimes have to make the tough choices and invest in things that maybe are going to serve you a couple of years from now.

And you have to make choices to maybe not turn on that revenue-facing feature today.

because you know that you need to create a future.

I see companies today making a lot of headlines around AI, right?

It is powerful, it is new, and it has tremendous possibility to lead our companies in many different places.

But it is still about the people.

The technology is getting easier and easier.

And so we're focusing more on the technology than we are on the people.

My experience is that if transformation doesn't start with what's the business problem you're trying to solve and you're focused more on the technology, you're going to end up buying really expensive technology and not moving your business forward.

And so that's my focus area.

It's like, what are we trying to solve?

And the people who understand the business and are driving that business need to be part of defining that future and helping bring it into reality.

Yeah, I think look beyond the headlines.

So, for example, right, we have seen this concept of AI washing, right, where companies are proclaiming, I'm laying off thousands of people in order to or because of AI.
