If you’re an enterprise AI founder, you’ve seen the same pattern: pilots everywhere, ROI nowhere, governance used as a brake, and leaders asking for “hard numbers by next quarter.”

In this episode, Johannes Deubener sits down with Rajuta Singh, Founder & CEO of Solved Together, to unpack why transformation fails (hint: it’s rarely the tech) and how CEOs can break the “AI anxiety loop” with structured experimentation, cross-functional squads, and outcome-first execution. They unpack real boardroom fears around AI - from stalled pilots and 7-figure “science projects” to data roadmaps, legacy systems, and middle managers secretly blocking change.

If you are an AI founder selling into enterprises or an enterprise leader trying to turn AI hype into business outcomes, this conversation gives a 90-day path you can start using immediately.

Ted Shelton has seen the AI wave from every angle - partner at Bain, COO at Inflection AI, now founder of adaptability.com and builder of the Personal Agent aalpi.ai. In this episode, Ted and host Johannes Deubener discuss what happens when AI compute becomes a new form of capital that no longer needs human labor.

Ted explains why owners of compute will capture value faster than overall economic growth, how this breaks the 250-year-old relationship between capital and labor, and why “abundance” does not automatically mean broad participation. On individual level, we explore the human skills that actually compound and how you can practice adaptability in this fast-paced world.

Why sales playbooks fail and how AI-powered behavioral nudges are doubling win rates at companies like HP, SonicWall, and Versa Networks.

Sanchit Garg, CEO and Co-Founder of Zime AI, joins host Johannes Deubener to reveal why traditional sales playbooks have become shelfware - and how combining generative AI with behavioral science is transforming sales enablement.

With a background in behavioral science, Sanchit now helps enterprise sales teams unlock their winning behaviors using AI that actually understands their GTM, products, and competition.

Most AI teams are flying blind - they can show you how many people used their AI, but not whether it actually worked.

In this conversation, host Johannes Deubener sits down with Julien Roux, CRO and co-founder of Nebuly (the “Google Analytics for AI”) to unpack what relevant AI Analytics look like.

They explore why treating AI like traditional software (“build it, ship it, forget it”) is a fundamental mistake, and why AI needs to be managed as a living product: launched, observed, and continuously improved based on how people actually use it. Julien explains how most companies still rely on shallow metrics - logins, number of prompts, session duration - and why those can be dangerously misleading. In conversational AI, more usage can mean more frustration, not more value.
