    You DO Want AI Training on Your Data

    Most business leaders say they don’t want AI training on their data—but what they really mean is they don’t want to lose control. In this episode, we explain why the only way AI delivers real value is by learning your business: your documents, your processes, your language, and your priorities. We break down the difference between exposing data and improving outcomes, and why generic AI won't scale. You’ll hear how AI that understands your workflows can anticipate needs, suggest actions, and drive results—without writing endless prompts or building from scratch. If you’re still treating AI like a tool that needs babysitting, it’s time to rethink the strategy. Topics covered: Why blocking AI from learning limits your ROIThe risks of generic intelligence in enterprise settingsHow to train AI like you train your peopleReal-world examples of AI reinforcing strategy by learning contextLearn how to make AI work for your business—starting with your data.

    In this episode, we break down the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — what it is, how it works, and why it’s generating so much hype in the AI world.
