Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

And the model can give you all these scenarios so that you're not just guessing or using gut feeling.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

Not that gut feeling isn't still there.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

And I guess this is where my question is going.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

It's like, if I can have 50 different scenarios laid out in front of me and I get all these numbers, at the end of the day,

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

it still feels like there is a gut decision at some point to know which ones to trust, which ones to give the most weight to, et cetera.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

How are you, you know, advocating or consulting the people that you talk to around this balance or harmony between the gut feeling of a leader with experience and the information they're getting out of these predictive models in this case, not necessarily looking at analytics, but the predictive models that they're getting in from AI?

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

Yeah.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

Guys, I'll give you a quick example of this just so you understand a thought process here.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

I actually built, I'm using OpenClaw and essentially his name is Maximum Effort as an homage to Deadpool.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

I call him Max and he is essentially my chief of staff of this podcast and my consulting business, Finding Peak.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

And I'm gonna give you exactly what happened with you, Nicholas.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

So someone from your PR team reached out to me and emailed me and said, hey, we'd love for Nicholas to come on the show.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

Max goes through my inbox every day, looks for podcast outreach emails and scans them.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

then goes and does a full research report on that individual uses a set of filters and guidelines that i gave him and comes back with a quality score as to whether or not not that this person is smart or not smart but do they fit what we're trying to do and where we're trying to go and if it's um eight or above it automatically crafts a response email puts in the calendly link sends it back to the person and says hey we'd love to have nicholas on the show which is what happened with you because you are an eight and a half out of ten

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

Not as quality of a person or knowledge, just what he came up with.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

And then you got the email.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

Your PR person forwarded it to you.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

Ex-Google Chief Evangelist: Why 90% of Companies Are Optimizing AI for the Wrong Thing

You showed up here.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

As soon as you schedule your time, Max goes into Riverside, pulls out a link, creates the link, then edits the calendar so that the link for you to come into the show is ready for you.
