The space where communication, education, and technology intersect is not only my passion, but it’s where this podcast brings conversations with ideas and solutions directly to you. Whether it’s AI, synthetic media, or whatever comes next, I believe technology when used well has the power to make us more human.
What if the biggest mistake leaders are making with AI… is how they’re thinking about it? In this episode, Dr. Jill Schiefelbein sits down with Brittany Greenfield—cybersecurity founder, consultant, and 40 Under 40 honoree—to unpack why most AI strategies are failing before they even begin. Drawing from decades in enterprise tech, Brittany explains why organizations are chasing “parlor tricks” instead of building real, human-centered solutions—and what it actually takes to make AI work. Together, they challenge the hype, break down the fear, and reframe AI not as a replacement—but as a partner that amplifies what humans do best.
Key takeaways:
- Why starting with people—not tools—is the foundation of successful AI adoption
- The danger of “performative AI” and how it’s quietly holding teams back
- How small, strategic steps (not big leaps) lead to real innovation and impact
If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or skeptical about AI—this conversation will ground you, reframe your thinking, and show you a smarter path forward. Because the future of AI isn’t about moving faster—it’s about thinking better.
