Episode Notes
While the world is mesmerized by the magic of AI, best-selling author and "AI Realist" Lee Russel is focused on a more critical question: how do you actually win with it? The answer, he argues, has nothing to do with having the biggest model and everything to do with having the best context.
In this episode, Lee introduces the concept of Context Engines, a groundbreaking approach to AI that allows businesses to create deeply personalized, high-value customer experiences. He explains how this technology is creating a stark divide between passive "AI Consumers" and the proactive "AI Producers" who will dominate the future of business.
Join us for a practical, no-hype conversation about real-world AI strategy. This episode is a masterclass for any entrepreneur, especially in the Canadian landscape, who wants to move beyond the buzzwords and build a truly defensible business using AI.
