The DX Today Podcast: Real Insights About AI and Digital Transformation
Tired of AI hype and transformation snake oil? This isn't another sales pitch disguised as expertise. Join a 30+ year tech veteran and Chief AI Officer who's built $1.2 billion in real solutions—and has the battle scars to prove it.
No vendor agenda. No sponsored content. Just unfiltered insights about what actually works in AI and digital transformation, what spectacularly fails, and why most "expert" advice misses the mark.
If you're looking for honest perspectives from someone who's been in the trenches since before "digital transformation" was a buzzword, you've found your show. Real problems, real solutions, real talk.
For executives, practitioners, and anyone who wants the truth about technology without the sales pitch.
