Artificial Intelligence Podcast: ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney and all other AI Tools

We think of AI as living inside computers — but it's reshaping the very physical world of fashion and manufacturing. Jonathan Green talks with operations and supply-chain advisor Omnya Elshafey about how AI is changing fashion: why the industry still isn't fully automated, how to keep warehouses lean, and how small companies can run an entire supply chain through disruption they can't control. Key Takeaways: • AI is reshaping fashion and manufacturing in the physical world, not just on screens • Fashion still isn't fully automated — there's huge room (and friction) for AI • Keep as little inventory in your warehouses as possible — lean beats bloated • Global shocks (like the Middle East conflict) hit supply chains you can't control — build resilience • Even a small company can manage its entire supply chain with the right systems Notable Quotes: "We want to keep as little stuff in our warehouses as possible." — Omnya Elshafey "There's a lot of things out of our control that no one can predict." — Omnya Elshafey Connect with Omnya Elshafey: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/omnya-elshafey Website: https://www.omneaadvisory.com Enjoyed this?

We think of AI as digital — but can it run a real, physical oil field? Jonathan Green talks with John Hooker of Statistics & Control about AI in high-stakes industrial operations: where automation genuinely helps, where you still need a human who knows the process, and what "half robot, half person" operations actually look like. Key Takeaways: • In high-security, high-production environments, AI augments — it doesn't replace the expert • You still need someone who deeply knows the process to supervise the automation • The future is "half robot, half person" — humans and AI running operations together • Real-world signals (fuel flow, water, pressures) are where AI earns its keep • "Adopt AI" means knowing exactly what to hand it and what to keep human Notable Quotes: "It's almost like it's half robot, half person." — John Hooker "You need somebody who's very familiar with that process." — John Hooker Connect with John Hooker: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndhooker Company: Statistics & Control Inc (West Des Moines, IA) Website: https://stctrl.com/ Enjoyed this?

Everyone was told to adopt AI, tried it, got burned — so why do enterprise AI rollouts keep failing? Jonathan Green talks with organizational strategist Rob Lion about the real reasons big AI initiatives miss: unrealistic expectations set by the hype, skipping change management, and the employee mindset of "make my job easier, but not so easy that I'm replaceable." Key Takeaways: • Most enterprise AI failures are change-management failures, not tech failures • The "promise of the commercials" sets expectations the rollout can't meet • If you skip how you roll it out, you bypass the most common path to success • Employees quietly resist: "make my job easier — but not so easy I'm replaceable" • Teach people the why and the workflow, not just "what's an LLM" Notable Quotes: "Make my job easier — but not so easy that I'm replaceable." — Rob Lion "When someone doesn't know what direction they're heading, the rollout's already in trouble." — Rob Lion Connect with Rob Lion: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlion Website: https://blackriverpm.com Enjoyed this?

Can AI fix what's broken inside pharma — or is it too high-stakes and too guarded to let AI in? Jonathan Green talks with pharmaceutical expert Wendy Rockwell about the realities of bringing AI into one of the most regulated, security-conscious industries on earth: million-dollar legacy systems, painfully long buying cycles, and the trust problem when AI gives you two different answers to the same question. Key Takeaways: • Pharma is high-stakes — a wrong answer isn't an inconvenience, it's a risk • Legacy systems cost millions and fragment across regions, making AI adoption hard • AI's inconsistency (same question, different answers) is a real blocker in regulated work • The industry is extremely guarded — security and internet restrictions slow everything • Long buying cycles mean AI has to prove itself before it gets in the door Notable Quotes: "You can ask the same question twice and get two different answers." — Wendy Rockwell "We're really, really, really guarded." — Wendy Rockwell Connect with Wendy Rockwell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-rockwellmba Enjoyed this?

Most business problems are misdiagnosed. Jonathan Green talks with operations and leadership consultant Jon Bassford about how to actually diagnose your organization — from management style to culture to broken systems — why the same idea gets ignored from the inside but embraced from an outside voice, and how to bring AI into a company without triggering fear or negativity. Key Takeaways: • Diagnose the whole organization — management style, operations, culture — not just the symptoms • The same idea is dismissed internally but embraced from an outside consultant; use that dynamic • Help leaders vet ideas and make decisions — don't just hand them more options • Introduce AI into the organization gradually (start in meetings, build comfort) • Don't let the team sink into negativity about AI — lead them through it Notable Quotes: "It's everything from our management style down to the smallest systems." — Jon Bassford "Someone brought the exact same idea from outside — and suddenly it landed." — Jon Bassford Connect with Jon Bassford: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonbassford Website: https://think-lateral.com Personal: https://johnbassford.com Enjoyed this?

Can AI help your business stand out — or does it just make everyone sound the same? Jonathan Green talks with Josh Lowman, founder of category-design studio Goldfront, about creating real categorical differentiation, going all-in on AI without gutting your team, and why human feeling is the one thing the machines can't fake. Key Takeaways: • Don't differentiate incrementally ("faster, more features") — create a real category • Being first in a category (or obsessively serving one customer) makes you irreplaceable • You can adopt AI without gutting your team — give everyone their own agent and protect jobs while revenue holds • AI drives a "race to similarity" (AI slop); human feeling is the differentiator • Automate the functional "money" work; keep the human "love" work — that's what customers won't pay a robot for Notable Quotes: "The real way to differentiate and persuade another human being is to show them that you feel something." — Josh Lowman "If we keep revenue flat, no one is getting laid off — that's my promise to you." — Josh Lowman Connect with Josh Lowman: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshlowman Website: https://goldfront.com Enjoyed this?

What does AI actually change in heavy industry? Jonathan Green talks with Rick Carlisle — a lifelong technologist who started coding in COBOL — about AI in IT and the oil fields: using AI to add layers of safety rather than replace them, catching patterns in alarm and monitoring data, and why the data-center boom is even reviving nuclear power. Key Takeaways: • Use AI to add layers of safety — don't trade existing safety for efficiency • AI shines at spotting patterns in alarm/monitoring data that humans miss • The data-center power demand is reviving nuclear • AI's real value is augmentation and speed, not replacing proven systems • "Artificial" is a label — the underlying reality (and the safety stakes) hasn't changed Notable Quotes: "We throw the term 'artificial' on it, but the biology hasn't changed." — Rick Carlisle "I'd rather use AI to add more layers of safety than to replace the existing layers." — Jonathan Green Connect with Rick Carlisle: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickcde Enjoyed this?

Is AI quietly erasing the hands-on knowledge that keeps our infrastructure running? Jonathan Green talks with Keith Schafer — part of multiple generations in critical power and engine infrastructure — about what happens when we over-trust AI, why "artificial intelligence" isn't truly intelligent, and how the expertise powering the coming wave of AI data centers is the very knowledge we're at risk of losing. Key Takeaways: • Over-relying on AI erodes hard-won institutional knowledge and hands-on troubleshooting instincts • "AI" isn't truly intelligent — blindly trusting it (like following GPS off the road) is dangerous in the physical world • The infrastructure powering AI data centers depends on expertise that's quietly disappearing • Safety and reliability come first — some systems simply have to run (engines at 20 below) • Capture multi-generational knowledge before it walks out the door Notable Quotes: "The first time I used GPS, it told me to drive off [the road]." — Keith Schafer "As cool as it is, it's not truly artificial intelligence." — Keith Schafer Connect with Keith Schafer: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-w-schafer-19833a22 Enjoyed this?

We think of AI as living in the cloud — but it runs on physical chips, factories, and supply chains that break in the real world. Jonathan Green talks with supply-chain expert Mohannad Gomaa about the logistics of AI: why modern supply chains are dangerously brittle, how AI helps spot trends and de-risk sourcing, and why resilience — not just efficiency — is the strategy that matters now. Key Takeaways: • Modern supply chains are brittle — the tiniest disruption can cascade into shortages • AI helps you spot trends and decide where (and from whom) to source • Forecasting that stops at volume level leads to costly misallocation • Diversify your supplier portfolio; don't optimize purely for cost • Resilience, not just efficiency, is the supply-chain strategy for the AI era Notable Quotes: "Supply chain models are very brittle to the tiniest disruption." — Mohannad Gomaa "It's that resilience part — one of your supply chain strategies — that's what really matters." — Mohannad Gomaa Connect with Mohannad Gomaa: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohannadhazemgomaa Website: https://mgostrategy.com/ Enjoyed this?

Is AI making the job market better or worse? Jonathan Green talks with executive job-search expert and Army veteran Dante Crowther about breaking through a market where hundreds apply for every role — why AI screening can filter out the best candidate, why human connection still wins, and how to bet on yourself when the algorithms are stacked against you. Key Takeaways: • The problem isn't too few jobs — it's the signal-to-noise of too many applicants per role • AI hiring filters can screen out the most qualified person because they read keywords, not people • The nonverbals and judgment that land jobs are exactly what AI can't replicate • Networking is the edge — most real opportunities come from human connection, not applications • Bet on yourself: your time and what you offer are more valuable than you think Notable Quotes: "Good luck insulting me — I'm a salesman, I'll sit down and talk with anyone." — Dante Crowther "If you believe what you have to offer is that valuable, you should bet on yourself." — Dante Crowther Connect with Dante Crowther: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dante-crowther Website: https://executivejobsearch.net/ Enjoyed this?

Is AI making us better networkers — or quietly killing the human skills that make networking work? Jonathan Green sits down with networking expert and author Larry Kaufman on using AI to deepen real relationships instead of replacing them: researching people before you meet them, remembering what they care about, and leading with generosity instead of a pitch. Key Takeaways: • AI is great for the prep — research, remembering details, follow-up — but over-relying on it erodes the social skills networking depends on • See people as more than a resource; lead by giving, not taking • Use AI to surface what someone actually cares about (their causes, their work) so you connect as a human • Networking matters more than ever in the AI era • Don't "show up and throw up" your pitch — authenticity wins every time Notable Quotes: "I like to learn about people so I can be more giving." — Larry Kaufman "Just offering to help — putting it out there that you have a network and you're happy to help — is a good thing to do." — Larry Kaufman Connect with Larry Kaufman: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrykaufmanlinkedinspeaker Book — The NCG Factor: https://geni.us/UctTsX Website: https://www.jeffersonwells.com/ Enjoyed this?

Can AI build a brand — or just accelerate a broken one faster? Jonathan Green sits down with brand strategist Edward Farley (Newport LLC) on purpose-driven brand strategy in the age of AI: why your brand is far more than a logo, why AI is like NOS (it speeds you up in whatever direction you're already going — including off a cliff), and how to keep the human soul in your marketing while AI scales the rest. Key Takeaways: • AI accelerates everything — including weak branding. Fix the strategy before you optimize with AI • Brand isn't your logo; it's purpose, authenticity, and the problem you uniquely solve • Gen Z & Gen Alpha see straight through trend-chasing and hollow "social cause" marketing • Don't outsource all customer communication to AI — you lose the early warning signs and the brand's soul (and you're still legally on the hook for what it says) • The sweet spot: AI scales human, humans give it soul — keep a person making the decisions Notable Quotes: "AI is kind of like NOS — if you're going in the wrong direction and you push that button, you're in the wrong direction faster." — Edward Farley "AI scales human; humans give it soul. You don't want to lose the soul of anything." — Edward Farley Connect with Edward Farley: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edward-farleyjr Website: https://newportllc.com Enjoyed this?

What happens to your team when AI shows up? Jonathan Green sits down with Andrés Tapia — leadership strategist, author, and longtime advisor to Fortune 500s — to unpack how leaders can bring AI into a company without triggering fear, sabotage, or burnout. They dig into why AI displaces tasks, not people, and the uniquely human strengths that get more valuable as the machines get smarter. Key Takeaways: AI displaces tasks, not people — don't tie your identity to what you do The three human edges AI can't replicate: empathy, critical thinking, and wisdom Treat AI as a new team member with strengths and limits — not a replacement The real skill shift: from knowing the answers to knowing which questions to ask Why people still crave live, in-person experiences — and what that means for work Notable Quotes: "It's going to displace certain things, but not us — the human beings." — Andrés Tapia "The value for humans isn't knowing the answers… it's knowing what questions to ask." — Andrés Tapia Connect with Andrés: LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrestapia1/ Podcast: Disrupt – https://www.youtube.com/@DisruptThePod Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Andr%C3%A9s-Tapia/author/B001KI4NP4 Connect with Jonathan Green The Bestseller: ChatGPT Profits Free Gift: The Master Prompt for ChatGPT Free Book on Amazon: Fire Your Boss Podcast Website: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/ Subscribe, Rate, and Review: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/itunes Video Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtificialIntelligencePodcast

In this episode, Jonathan sits down with clinical psychologist and AI ethics expert Dr. Sonja Batten to explore a critical question: Is AI as safe as we think it is—especially when it comes to our mental health, our kids, and vulnerable populations like veterans? Dr. Batten brings decades of experience in mental health, military/veteran care, and systems-level policy to unpack how AI is already interacting with loneliness, depression, social skills, and even national security. Together, she and Jonathan examine where AI can genuinely help—and where it can quietly make things much worse. Key Topics Covered: AI “Practice Girlfriends” & Parasocial Relationships Pseudo-Emotion vs. Real Emotion in AI Depression, Rumination, and AI as an Accelerant Kids, Screens, and Personality Shifts Awkward Questions & Suicide Risk Veterans, Targeted Manipulation & National Security Building Real-World Social Skills in an AI World The Profit Motive Behind AI & Big Platforms A Practical Safety Strategy: Don’t Talk to Just One AI A Better Future: Human-in-the-Loop Mental Health AI Bias, Data, and Why “Objective” AI Can Still Harm People What’s Safe to Use Today—and What Isn’t Notable Quotes: “The problem isn’t that AI sounds human—it’s that it acts like it’s human, without any judgment about whether what it’s saying is actually helpful.” – Dr. Sonja Batten “Rumination is like how a cow digests grass—except you’re doing it with your depressive thoughts. AI can actually accelerate that cycle.” – Dr. Sonja Batten “The earlier I act in a depressive cycle, the easier it is to break it. But AI gives you the illusion of a conversation while keeping you stuck in place.” – Jonathan Green “Ask the awkward question. If you’re not sure whether someone’s joking or asking for help, just ask. The worst thing that happens is they tell you you’re wrong—and now they know you care.” – Dr. Sonja Batten “I don’t think there’s any AI tool yet that I’d trust as a standalone resource for my own daughter if she were depressed.” – Dr. Sonja Batten “We can’t afford to get it wrong in mental health. The stakes are too high.” – Dr. Sonja Batten Key Resource Mentioned: 988 – Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.) If you or someone you know is struggling, you can call or text 988 in the United States for immediate support and connection to local resources. This is a 24/7 crisis line.

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we look beyond Silicon Valley to explore how AI is transforming food, health, and the future of what we eat with our special guest, Aaditi Tamhankar—a venture capitalist deeply focused on the future of food , health tech, and biology-driven innovation. Aaditi explains why some of the most important breakthroughs in AI are happening outside traditional tech hubs—in labs, farms, kitchens, and clinics. She walks us through how AI is being used to: Design food products faster and smarter Personalize nutrition at the individual level Extend healthy lifespan by shifting focus from treatment to prevention Democratize health knowledge for everyday people, not just elites We also dive into the hidden physical cost of AI—its demand for electricity, water, and infrastructure—and how that connects to larger shifts like the resurgence of nuclear power. From barcode-scanning food apps to microbiome analysis, smart toilets, and AI-powered health screenings via your smartphone camera, Aaditi paints a picture of a world where health data becomes more objective, accessible, and actionable for everyone—especially in developing countries where smartphones are far more common than laptops. Notable Quotes: “Over the next 20 minutes I’m gonna show you why some of the most important breakthroughs in AI are happening outside of Silicon Valley.” – Aaditi Tamhankar “We live in this world with conflicting information, disinformation, and information from dubious sources… consumers are very confused right now.” – Aaditi Tamhankar “What might change your life? Understanding the microbiome.” – Aaditi Tamhankar “Right now we’re in this time where it’s big food against big pharma. You have two Goliaths battling it out.” – Aaditi Tamhankar “One in eight Americans has already been on a GLP‑1. These drugs have only really been used for weight loss for a couple of years—that’s insane.” – Aaditi Tamhankar “We think AI is this digital thing that has no impact on the world, but it uses massive amounts of power, electricity, space, and water.” – Jonathan Green “If you don’t eat a lot of sweet stuff, your definition of sweet really shifts. A strawberry can become a 10 out of 10 sweet.” – Jonathan Green Connect with Aaditi Tamhankar: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaditi-tamhankar/ TikTok: Nine to Thrive Email: aaditi@bluesteinventures.com Aaditi shares where she’s investing in the future of food and health, and invites founders and innovators in the space to reach out, share what they’re building, and explore how AI can unlock the next generation of food and health breakthroughs.

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we dive into the powerful intersection of AI and lean operations with our special guest, Chad Bareither, founder of Bareither Group and expert in operational excellence, continuous improvement, and lean thinking. Chad brings a grounded, real-world perspective from years of working with manufacturing and utility companies. Together, he and Jonathan unpack a critical question for modern businesses: Is AI actually making you more efficient—or are you just doing the wrong things faster? They explore how easy access to AI tools can tempt leaders into “more, more, more”: more posts, more tools, more projects, more data. But without clear goals and a solid process, AI becomes an accelerant for chaos instead of a driver of meaningful results. Chad explains how applying lean principles—clarity of purpose, focus on value, and disciplined measurement—can help business owners deploy AI intentionally, not emotionally. Instead of throwing AI at every problem, he shows how to treat AI like a team member: define its role, set expectations, and measure outcomes. From manufacturing lines and data lakes to social media strategies and boutique consulting practices, this episode is a masterclass in doing less, better—and making sure AI serves your business instead of overwhelming it. Notable Quotes: "There's nothing more wasteful than doing efficiently what should not be done at all." – [Paraphrasing Peter Drucker, cited by Chad Bareither] "AI is just an accelerant. If you have a bad process, you’re just going to do it faster." – [Jonathan Green] "I like to think about any type of AI solution you're putting in as a team member. What is the role of that team member, and how will I measure whether or not it's being successful?" – [Chad Bareither] "You have a presence, but you don't have a following." – [Chad Bareither] "The more viral something is, the less likely it is to appeal to your ideal customer." – [Jonathan Green] "What’s really going to eliminate your business is not AI in itself. It’s bad scoping and weak process." – [Chad Bareither] "We’re keeping people busy generating AI that’s generating a bunch of stuff—and this ‘more’ is now just amplified." – [Chad Bareither] Connect with Chad Bareither: Website: https://www.bareithergroup.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadbareither/ Chad and Jonathan reveal how less but better thinking, combined with smart AI deployment, can help small and medium-sized businesses avoid costly mistakes, stay focused on what matters, and build operations that scale sustainably.

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we tackle a massive generational challenge: can AI help solve the “silver tsunami” of baby boomer business owners looking to exit their companies—and do it in a way that protects jobs, preserves legacy, and maximizes value? Our special guest is Jonathan Cheung, a business broker with Transworld Business Advisors, the world’s largest business brokerage firm. Jonathan specializes in helping small and medium sized business owners successfully exit, and he brings a rare combination of big firm valuation expertise (KPMG, Facebook, tech valuations) and hands-on experience with traditional, Main Street businesses.

It's really the largest wealth transfer in history.” – [Jonathan Cheung] “AI as a source of labor… works for you 24/7 and is able to have more predictable outcomes.” – [Jonathan Cheung] “Every business someone started themselves, there’s no instruction manual. That’s why their first hires struggle—nothing is documented.” – [Jonathan Green] “People either massively overvalue or massively undervalue their business. They’ll shut down a thriving business and say, ‘Nobody wants it,’ or think it’s worth 10, 50, 100 times what it is.” – [Jonathan Green] Connect with Jonathan Cheung: Email: jcheung@tworld.com Phone/WhatsApp: +1 (626) 8643369 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-cheung-cfa/ If you’re interested in how AI can protect your legacy, increase your exit valuation, and help your business survive into the next generation, this episode is a must listen.

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we dive into how AI is reshaping the world of website building and small business marketing with our special guest, Pedro Sostre, a seasoned digital marketer and key leader at Builderall. He and Jonathan break down why so many “AI website builders” fail, what business owners actually need, and how to future‑proof your skills in an AI‑driven market. They explore the growing gap between what AI tools promise and what they actually deliver, especially for small business owners who are busy, overwhelmed, and not interested in becoming “prompt engineers.” Pedro explains how Builderall is tackling that challenge with pre-built, strategy‑driven funnels and AI‑assisted tools that do the heavy lifting in the background—so business owners can focus on running their business, not wiring together tech. You’ll hear them discuss why design alone doesn’t sell, how bad AI content is clogging the internet, and why the people who win won’t be AI itself—but the humans who learn to use it better and faster than everyone else. Notable Quotes: “Right now people are expecting all sorts of different things, and the reality is they’re generally getting junk, even if it looks good.” – [Pedro Sostre] “Whatever you think you have secure job security in today is probably not gonna exist in two years… You should be doing something different in three years.” – [Pedro Sostre] “People do not care which AI they’re using. They don’t care if the backend is Grok or DeepSeek or ChatGPT. They only care if it works.” – [Jonathan Green] “We’re not gonna be replaced by AI. We’re gonna be replaced by people who are better at AI than us.” – [Jonathan Green] “Train it to do what you do now, because your job needs to be different in two years.” – [Pedro Sostre] Pedro highlights how Builderall is evolving from “a big toolbox” into a guided, AI‑assisted marketing platform. With their new “builds,” a course creator, agency owner, or realtor can log in, choose their business type, and instantly see which tools to use, in what order, and how they all connect—without needing to touch APIs, Zapier, or complex integrations. It’s like having a marketing consultant baked into the software, helping you deploy proven funnels instead of guessing your way through 25 different tools. Connect with Pedro Sostre: Website: https://www.builderall.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/psostre/ Pedro shares how Builderall is integrating AI behind the scenes to write copy, build pages, and connect tools for small business owners who don’t have time (or desire) to learn complex prompting. Their focus is on making AI simple, contextual, and results‑driven—so users see more leads and sales, not just prettier websites. If you’re a small business owner, agency, or creator wondering how to actually use AI to grow your business—without becoming a full‑time tech expert—this episode is a must‑listen!
