    Cognitive Endurance: The Leadership Skill AI Can't Build For You | AI For The C Suite EP 51

    AI is expanding your team's cognitive reach but it may also be quietly eroding their cognitive depth. A landmark study from the Quarterly Journal of Economics reveals that the capacity to sustain deep, effortful thinking is trainable, transferable across domains, and can't be replaced by incentives. The implications for AI-enabled organizations are significant. Chad unpacks the research and connects it directly to the middle market leadership challenge: when AI handles the routine cognitive work, what's left are the judgment calls, the ambiguity, and the strategic integration that demand sustained focus - not faster reactions. He introduces a simple framework (reach versus depth) and lays out three concrete moves you can implement this week: designing AI deployments that protect sustained thinking, building cognitive endurance into leadership development, and auditing your AI stack through an endurance lens. If your organization is getting faster but you're not sure it's getting sharper, this episode gives you the research and the playbook to close that gap.

    Pip Bingemann | Why AI Needs Inspiration Not Answers | AI For The C-Suite EP 50

    AI is becoming incredibly good at giving answers... but that may be exactly what limits creativity. In this episode of AI For The C-Suite, Pip Bingemann breaks down why most language models push people toward the same outputs, why accuracy and creativity are fundamentally different goals, and how frameworks, curiosity, and time play a bigger role in great work than tools alone. We talk about: Why AI models tend to converge on the same ideas Creativity vs accuracy and why that distinction matters How humans and AI judge creative work differently Why teaching frameworks beats prompt engineering The role of time, tension, and process in meaningful work How early experiments turned into a real company This conversation is less about hype and more about how leaders, creatives, and teams should actually think about using AI.   Watch the podcast here: youtu.be/QZOj6gowXvs Connect with Pip: linkedin.com/in/pipbingemann         Note: This podcast contains adult language.

    The 10% Trap: Why Efficiency Gains May Be Your Biggest AI Risk | AI For The C Suite EP 49

    New research from Virtuous AI and Chief Executive Group surveyed over 300 mid-market CEOs and one number demands attention: 78% say their primary AI objective is efficiency and cost reduction. Only 19% are treating AI as a transformational opportunity. Chad unpacks what he's calling "the 10% trap"—using AI to make your current business incrementally faster or cheaper while competitors reimagine what their business does entirely. The episode breaks down the gap between AI as analyst and AI as operator, why that gap is where ROI goes to die, and the single question that separates companies building real strategic advantage from those optimizing on quicksand. If your AI initiatives are delivering efficiency wins but you can't articulate what AI is actually accountable for in your organization, this episode gives you three moves to close that gap—starting with an honest audit of where your strategy actually stands.

    Gen AI at Your Door: What a College Freshman Reveals About Your Future Workforce | AI For The C Suite EP 47

    The students navigating AI in classrooms right now will be on your teams in two, three, maybe four years. What assumptions are they bringing? What do they understand instinctively that we might be missing? In this episode, Chad sits down with his son Gavin—a freshman studying IT—for a ground-level conversation about how the AI native generation actually uses these tools. You'll hear how Gavin leverages AI as a thinking partner (not a replacement), using it to brainstorm, get feedback, and grade his own work along the way. You'll also hear his generation's biggest concern: that leaders and institutions aren't communicating clearly about AI expectations, which creates confusion and missed opportunity on both sides. Gavin's closing insight is worth the listen alone: his generation will adapt to AI at a rate that might alarm you. The question is whether you're ready to meet them where they are. Chad's challenge to you this week: find someone under 25, buy them coffee, and ask how they're actually using AI. Listen first. You might be surprised what you learn. AI For the C Suite™ is the podcast dedicated to keeping C-Suite leaders informed and engaged in the world of AI for business.

    Three Forces That Will Make AI Leadership Harder in 2026 | AI For The C Suite EP 45

    Anti-AI sentiment is crossing from background noise to foreground reality. 2026 may be the year that cultural and political headwinds make your AI initiatives significantly harder to execute - not because of the technology, but because of forces entirely outside your control. In this episode, Chad examines three converging dynamics every middle market leader needs to understand: the political legitimacy threshold that makes anti-AI messaging electorally attractive, the emergence of "grief cohorts" that will galvanize organized resistance around visible displacement, and an asymmetric credibility environment that structurally favors skeptics over AI advocates. These forces won't stop AI adoption, but they will increase the degree of difficulty for leaders building internal support. Chad offers three moves you can execute this quarter: mapping your resistors versus denialists, building your narrative before displacement headlines write it for you, and rethinking your communication style for a world where polish triggers suspicion. The window for quiet AI adoption is narrowing and this episode helps you plan accordingly. AI For the C Suite™ podcast keeps C-Suite leaders informed and engaged in the world of AI for business.
