AI fatigue is real, but what if the solution isn't less AI but a smarter approach to how we validate and implement it? On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by David Newton, SVP of Product, Customer Success, and AI Initiatives at HANDLE® Global and host of the Canopy podcast, to cut through the AI hype and talk about what's actually working in healthcare supply chain.

He shares practical tips for using AI tools like ChatGPT and Replit, why storytelling matters as much as the technology itself, and how to build real value without chasing every new tool that comes along. Tune in to this episode for a refreshing take on how to cut through the noise and apply AI strategically -- without the burnout.
