This distinction will make or break your AI strategy in 2025.In this episode, I sit down with Matt Alder from Recruiting Future to break down the real difference between AI hype and reality. As someone who's been coding for 20 years and programmed tractors using GPS back in 2006, I'm sharing what actually works versus what the "fake it till you make it" crowd is pushing.🔥 What You'll Discover:• The critical difference between AI agents and assistants (and why it matters for your business)• Why the current AI development curve is sustainable (despite what doomsayers claim)• The consciousness framework that determines how you'll see AI opportunities• Which AI tools beyond ChatGPT are actually worth your money• How to augment your 20 years of expertise instead of panicking about replacement• The ethical boundaries every business founder must understandWhy This Matters:If you're a business founder feeling overwhelmed by AI options or worried about being left behind, this conversation will shift your entire perspective.
