How to use AI to boost agency performance with Stephen Kenwright

This week on the Faster Horses Podcast, we sit down with Yuriy Demidko, Chief Information Officer at DP Fox Ventures. Yuriy didn’t hold back on the term “AI expert.” His take? If your profile says AI expert but all you’re doing is talking about prompts… you’re NOT an expert. You’re a Guru! It’s a needed reminder that there’s a world of difference between building models and simply knowing how to ask ChatGPT good questions. Catch the full episode next week with co-hosts Chris McTague and Tim Hayden for more unfiltered thoughts on AI, data, and leadership. #FasterHorsesPodcast #AI #Data #Leadership #Podcast

I highly recommend listening to the latest interview with Tobias Lütke on the ACQ2 podcast. He has a ton of really insightful thoughts about software, human nature, AI, company building, and more. One of my favourite insights was the way he called out that most company values are just "platitudes" because no one would ever take the other side. An alternative approach that's actually impactful is choosing values for your company that people would potentially take the other side of (a tradeoff that you're choosing to make)... and then you can actually ask AI tools to review your company's work against these values and make suggestions for improvement. 🧠

Think AI is only for Big Tech? Think again. Small teams have a hidden advantage: agility. And when you layer AI on top of that agility, the results can be extraordinary. In the latest episode of the Using AI at Work Podcast, I sat down with Peter Swimm to explore how lean teams can turn AI into a force multiplier. The takeaway? AI handles the grind, bridges the tools you already use, kills bottlenecks, and frees your people to focus on what humans do best, creativity, strategy, and relationships. It’s proof that you don’t need thousands of employees or millions in budget to scale. You just need the right approach to make your business mighty. Link to the full episode is in the comments.

How can you build an AI strategy when the technology evolves faster than organizations can adapt? → That’s the biggest question that we tackle in the latest podcast episode. In this scenario, you've 2 options : - Move too fast, and you risk building on sand. - Move too slow, and you lock yourself into long-term dependency. In this new episode of AI CORNER, we explore this paradox with our guest: how to reconcile long-term vision with step-by-step adoption? - Why effective AI strategies rely less on the tech itself and more on organizational capacity, - How to avoid the “permanent proof of concept” trap and scale with clarity, - The concrete steps that turn cautious adoption into sustainable advantage.

AI feels different. Websites were a shift. Social media was a shift. But AI? Even veterans like John Jantsch say this one feels different. At first, the hype was off the charts. Everyone rushed to plug AI into everything. Now… the dust is settling. It’s becoming clear that AI isn’t just about creating more content. It’s about figuring out where it actually adds value without adding more noise. Worst case? You burn time chasing shiny tools. Best case? You unlock real leverage where AI accelerates—not distracts—your business. That’s the perspective Sara Nay (CEO of Duct Tape Marketing , author of Unchained) shared with me on this week’s podcast. 🎙 Don't miss the full episode: https://lnkd.in/g2ckMM2b

Tech is sprinting. AI evolves daily. But here’s the anchor: without soul, it’s just static. Code can iterate. Tools can optimize. But only humans can create something that stirs, that lingers, that moves. AI is a brush. We are the painters. The future isn’t man vs. machine, it’s art powered by both. Lead with humanity, refine with tools, and you’ll never be replaceable. 🎙️ Let's Talk Marketing Podcast  #HumanFirst #AIMadeBetter #SoulInTheSystem

I'm excited to announce that Lorikeet is launching a podcast that I've got the pleasure of hosting! That's getting a little old hat, but we're doing things differently and I'm excited by how the episodes are coming out so far. Let me explain what's different: 1. Each episode interviews a CX leader from an iconic company (like Linear, Clay, Stripe, Bridge, Culture Amp) about *one big thing* they do differently or better than everyone else. We go really deep on that thing, with the goal of giving other CX leaders something specific to consider or implement. 2. It's about people not AI. We're focused on how the best CX teams run and organize themselves. It's not a backdoor add for Lorikeet or an AI circle-jerk. We basically don't talk about AI. 3. It's short and nutritionally dense. We do our research and edit episodes rigorously to get them to 20-25 mins - enough to listen to at 1.5x on a quick walk to the office. We'll dropping the first episode next week - give it a listen!
