Episode notes

I help founders & executives generating more than $10M in revenue find their Easy Mode. Start here: Watch this episode on YouTube: If you buy Salesforce to avoid fixing a broken sales process, you fail. If you buy AI to avoid fixing a broken business, you fail faster. David Bach, MD, is the founder and CEO of Optios. Optios is a neurotechnology company building the human-state layer for AI. He is a Harvard-trained neuroscientist, a physician, and an entrepreneur who understands what happens when hard science hits the reality of the market. We break down why treating AI like a magic bullet is destroying capital, and why the leaders who win will be the ones who pair aggressive adoption with disciplined skepticism. We cover the danger of outsourcing your judgment, why most enterprise AI pilots stall, and the story of an investor who made a capital decision based on a competitor deck that ChatGPT hallucinated out of thin air. We also explore the future of physiological AI. Sensors that measure your attention and brain state could train you to perform like an expert in a fraction of the time. The question is not whether your company uses AI.
