Hi everyone,

First off, a big thank you to everyone who joined me for my first live AMA session last Friday! It was fantastic to connect with so many of you, answer your questions, and engage in such a lively discussion. I truly appreciate your participation and insightful contributions.

For those of you who couldn't make it, I know things come up, and I didn't want you to miss out entirely. So, here's a recap of what we covered, some key takeaways from the session, and (for paid subscribers only) the full video recording!


We delved into Ai’s implications for CEOs, CFOs, and leaders in general. As we navigate the clear Ai technological inflection point, it's important to approach Ai not as a threat but as a partner in our journey toward operational excellence.

The Ai Advantage

AI is reshaping the landscape for company leaders, much like the shifts we've seen with the advent of the internet and cloud computing. The key is to lean into this change, leveraging Ai to automate transactional tasks and free up time for strategic thinking.

Leading the Charge

Your active leadership with your team plays a pivotal role in fostering Ai adoption. It's about encouraging your team to view Ai as a tool for career advancement. By framing Ai as an opportunity rather than a threat, we can cultivate a culture of innovation and growth.

Balancing Innovation and Focus

While Ai offers immense potential, it's essential to maintain focus on core business objectives. Start small, experiment with one use case, and build from there. This balanced approach ensures that Ai enhances rather than distracts from your mission.

Investing in the Future

CFOs should allocate resources to Ai tools and training, empowering employees to harness this technology effectively. This investment not only boosts efficiency but also positions your team for future success.

As we continue to explore these themes in future sessions, I invite you to join the conversation and share your insights. Together, we can navigate this exciting era of AI and create all new possibilities for growth and innovation.
