AI is everywhere—except in your results.

In this brutally honest episode of Brand in the Making, CTO and AI strategist Alex Mead unpacks the real reason most organizations fail to turn data and AI into business outcomes: they’re optimizing for dashboards, not decisions.

If your company has a “data strategy” but no lift in revenue, this episode will hit hard—and show you exactly where you’re going wrong.

Inside:

Why AI pilots rarely make it to production
The illusion of value in over-engineered pipelines
How most data teams are disconnected from real business pain
What execs should be asking—and what most get wrong
The new playbook: Build from the pain point backward, not the tech forward

🎯 “It’s not that you don’t have data. It’s that you’ve never weaponized it.”

Whether you're a product leader, founder, or trying to get real ROI from your AI efforts—this episode gives you the truth most vendors won’t.
