What if the biggest mistake leaders are making with AI... is how they're thinking about it?
In this episode, Dr. Jill Schiefelbein sits down with Brittany Greenfield—cybersecurity founder, consultant, and 40 Under 40 honoree—to unpack why most AI strategies are failing before they even begin. Drawing from decades in enterprise tech, Brittany explains why organizations are chasing "parlor tricks" instead of building real, human-centered solutions—and what it actually takes to make AI work.
Together, they challenge the hype, break down the fear, and reframe AI not as a replacement—but as a partner that amplifies what humans do best.

Key takeaways:

• Why starting with people—not tools—is the foundation of successful AI adoption
• The danger of "performative AI" and how it's quietly holding teams back
• How small, strategic steps (not big leaps) lead to real innovation and impact

If you've ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or skeptical about AI—this conversation will ground you, reframe your thinking, and show you a smarter path forward.
Because the future of AI isn't about moving faster—it's about thinking better.

This week, I'm joined by Jeremy David, CEO and Founder of ConvoGPT, to explore how automation is transforming the sales funnel—without removing the human element. From lead generation to conversion, we explore how AI can take on repetitive tasks so sales teams can focus on what truly drives results: relationships.

We dive into the realities of AI implementation, the misconceptions around "instant results," and why the future belongs to professionals who know how to leverage technology while thinking critically and connecting authentically.

Welcome back to Humanize Automation! This week, I'm joined by Jonathan Aberman, CEO and Co-Founder of Hupside, to explore the concept of Original Intelligence, the measurable human contribution that creates differentiation in an AI-driven world.

As organizations rush to deploy AI tools, Jonathan challenges the idea that automation alone creates value. Instead, he shares how understanding and measuring originality can help leaders better align people, tools, and outcomes.

We discuss why one-size-fits-all AI training falls short, how AI can act as an accelerant for creativity rather than a replacement for it, and why human-centered strategy matters more than ever.
