Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail What did 2025 teach us about AI leadership? For me, it taught three critical lessons: Executive dysregulation is the hidden crisis, Shadow AI reveals what your people actually need, and Transformation requires partnership—not information. In this personal reflection episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on AI Cafe Conversations Podcast's journey to the top 2% of podcasts globally and sharing what we're building together in 2026. You'll hear: Why I almost quit this podcast three times in 2025 How we became #63,514 out of 4 million podcasts (top 2%) What makes AI Cafe Conversations Podcast' different from every other AI leadership show The vision for 2026: The Path Forward series, workshops, speaking, and scaling Three questions to close 2025 with intention and build 2026 with clarity I'm asking you: What are you TAKING from 2025? What are you LEAVING BEHIND? What are you BUILDING in 2026? This isn't a typical episode. It's a thank you. A reflection. And an invitation to build the future of AI leadership together. Featured Concept: Human-centered AI leadership and the power of community Ready to reflect and build?
