AI is not a buzzword anymore. It is the next dot com moment. The only question is whether your business rides the wave or gets wiped out.
In this episode of the Smart Business Owner Podcast, Shubert talks with Jake Holmes, software engineer, AI specialist, and founder of Grow Fast, about how traditional businesses can actually use AI to create real ROI instead of burning cash on shiny tools. Jake shares how he went from building software for the NHS and mortgage firms to advising startups, regulators, and service businesses on AI strategy, audits, and fractional CTO work.
You will hear:
Why 95 percent of AI projects fail and what smart companies do differently
The two extremes of AI spending and how to avoid both wasting money and falling behind
Why financial services and advisors risk getting left behind if they ignore AI
Where humans still have the most value and what you should never automate
How AGI, content creation, and agentic workflows are about to reshape work
Practical first steps for business owners to map their processes and plug in AI the right way
If you run a service business, work in financial services, or lead a growing company and you are unsure where to start with AI, this conversation will give you a clear path forward and a new way to think about the future of your business.
