Are Businesses Really Ready for AI?
AI adoption in business sounds exciting but the reality is often more complex. While consumers have embraced AI quickly, many enterprises are still struggling to implement it in a way that drives real outcomes.
In this episode, I sit down with Mike Storm, COO and co-founder of Neurons, to unpack what it really takes for companies to become “AI ready.” Mike shares the journey of Neurons from a neuromarketing consultancy to a SaaS AI company and now a data-driven business, and the lessons learned along the way.
We explore the gap between consumer and business AI adoption, the difference between generalist and specialist AI models, and why so many startups fail to gain traction with enterprises. Mike also offers practical insights on how businesses can integrate AI into workflows, avoid common pitfalls, and move beyond hype to create measurable impact.
