Is AI a threat to your business—or the greatest opportunity you’re ignoring?

That’s the question JR Lay explores with today’s guest, Mike Koenigs — creator of the AI Accelerator, advisor to organizations like NASA, and a true pioneer in the AI and digital entrepreneurship space. Mike’s been on the front lines of innovation since the CD-ROM days, and he’s not slowing down. In fact, he’s helping entrepreneurs collapse the speed of trust, unlock their unique wisdom, and win faster in a world where the rules have changed.

Here’s the problem: 95% of AI projects are failing. Why? Because most people are chasing tools, not transformation. In this episode, Mike breaks down why specialists are being replaced, how generalists and storytellers are rising, and why your unique lived experience matters now more than ever.

We also explore how AI is unlocking rapid prototyping, redefining what it means to educate, and why linear thinking is holding entrepreneurs back. If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind in this fast-paced AI era, this conversation will reframe everything.
