On June 12, 2026, the U.S. government issued an export control directive that forced Anthropic to take its two most advanced models offline — not just for foreign nationals, but for everyone. Within days, the most capable products that company makes had gone dark.
This episode unpacks what that event actually revealed about the AI stack most middle-market organizations are running today. The core issue isn't the specific dire...
Chad Harvey convenes the first-ever AI Super Friends roundtable — a live jam session with five practitioners who are building, deploying, and governing AI at the enterprise level right now.
In this episode: Mike Gadsby (Co-Founder & Chief Innovation Officer, O3 World), Arjun Raj Jain (Co-Founder, Pre.dev), Diego Morales (VP of AI, O3 World), Mike Urban (Chief Tech Ops Officer, Besteg), and Josh Friedman (Staff Engineer, O...
Four out of five companies in this country have not yet started using AI — not falling behind, not experimenting, not started. Meanwhile, AI capability is doubling at roughly the interval of a business quarter. That gap between two clocks on the same wall is not a crisis. For the leaders who understand it, it is a position.
In this episode, Chad introduces a Three-Dial framework for cutting through AI noise and reading the si...
Most organizations are trying to skip straight to AI orchestration — and it's costing them. Melissa Reeve, founder of HyperAdaptive Solutions and author of HyperAdaptive: Rewiring the Enterprise to Become AI Native, joins Chad Harvey to break down why the support structures that would actually make AI work are being skipped, what a real AI transformation roadmap looks like, and why giants will fall if they don't rewire n...
Most AI vendor evaluations collapse the layers for simplicity. This episode gives you a reason not to.
When two products run on the same underlying model but feel completely different in practice, most teams can't explain why. That confusion makes clean purchasing decisions harder, weakens your RFP, and leaves you reacting to demos instead of driving the evaluation. The answer comes down to architecture.
In this episode, Chad intro...
What if everything you've been told about getting started with AI is wrong?
In this episode, Chad sits down with Charlene Li — New York Times bestselling author, founder of Altimeter Group, and one of the most respected voices in business transformation — to challenge some of the most common assumptions leaders hold about AI adoption. Her new book, Winning with AI: The 90-Day Blueprint for Success (co-authored...
In your next vendor meeting, someone is going to say the word "agent" three or four times. You'll nod. Notes will get taken. And the word will do almost no actual work in the room. That's the problem this episode is built to solve.
Chad's Jargon Watch covers 15 terms that have crystallized in the last 90 days (including "harness") and is organized around three layers every C-suite leader needs to understand: architecture, failure m...
Most organizations have rolled out AI tools and called it a strategy. They've issued logins, run compliance training, and watched adoption numbers tick up — while the actual quality of the work stayed flat.
The problem isn't the tool. It's the mental model. If your people are treating AI like a search bar, they're only accessing a fraction of what's possible.
Geoff Gibbins has spent close to 20 years helping organizations fig...
Most executives using AI today have a posture problem. They treat the tool like an Oracle, a search engine, or a writing assistant. All three postures have you standing outside the tool, trading instructions over a wall. None of them are getting the job done.
In this episode, Chad unpacks the two commitments that define a working philosophy for using AI well. The first: AI is an extended cognition layer - an external component of y...
Most organizations in regulated industries aren't slow on AI because of compliance. They're slow because no one has decided to be brave enough to move.
In this episode, Chad sits down with Ondar Tarlow — a marketing executive who led AI adoption inside financial services organizations before most CMOs were willing to have the conversation. Ondar's team deployed propensity modeling and machine learning to identify the next bes...
Speed is the operating obsession right now, and for good reason. Across industries and company sizes, the leaders moving fastest with AI are opening a real gap on everyone else. If your competitor is qualifying a customer inquiry in four minutes and you're still taking two days, that is a structural disadvantage. Speed compounds, and right now, pressing it is the right move.
But speed is on a curve. It starts as an edge, becomes a ...
AI isn’t the question anymore. Execution is.
In this episode of AI for the C Suite, Chad Harvey sits down with Chris Happ, CEO of Virtuous AI, to break down why most companies are stuck between knowing AI matters and actually making it work.
98% of CEOs say AI matters. Only 7% have a strategy.
So what’s going wrong?
This conversation goes beyond tools and hype. It focuses on what’s actually happening inside organi...
In this episode, I sat down with Arya Bolurfrushan, founder and CEO of Applied AI, to talk about what most companies are getting wrong about AI.
Instead of asking where AI fits into existing workflows, Arya flips the question entirely — where do humans belong in an AI-driven system?
We get into:
- Why most AI pilots fail
- The real bottleneck in AI adoption
- How companies are unlocking 10x productivity
- Why legacy workflows ar...
The pressure on mid-market CTOs is about to ratchet up... and most are still running a playbook that can't keep pace. Your owners are reading the same headlines you are. Their peers are talking about five-person shops punching above their weight class. And the first place they're going to look with questions is you.
In this episode of AI for the C-Suite, Chad Harvey talks with Dr. Sam Zolfagharian, president and co-founder of Yegatech, about how leaders should actually approach AI inside their organizations.
Dr. Sam has worked with AI since 2015, long before the recent surge in attention around it. In this conversation, she shares why many companies get stuck experimenting with AI tools, what it takes to move toward real strategy, and why cult...
For 90 years, the boundary of your firm has been set by coordination costs. Agentic AI is rewriting that equation - not incrementally, but structurally - and the implications land hardest on organizations sitting in the broad middle of the firm-size distribution.

AI is changing the nature of work faster than most leaders realize. In this episode of AI for the C Suite, Chad Harvey sits down with Brent Orrell, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, to explore what AI is actually doing to organizations right now.
Brent explains why we are moving from an economy of doing to one of judging, why curiosity may be the most important skill of the future, and why imposter syndrome might ...
AI is expanding your team's cognitive reach but it may also be quietly eroding their cognitive depth. A landmark study from the Quarterly Journal of Economics reveals that the capacity to sustain deep, effortful thinking is trainable, transferable across domains, and can't be replaced by incentives. The implications for AI-enabled organizations are sig...
AI is becoming incredibly good at giving answers... but that may be exactly what limits creativity.
In this episode of AI For The C-Suite, Pip Bingemann breaks down why most language models push people toward the same outputs, why accuracy and creativity are fundamentally different goals, and how frameworks, curiosity, and time play a bigger role in great work than tools alone.
We talk about:

Why AI models tend to converge on...
