• "80% of AI Use Happens Off the Grid": How Lanai Software Reveals the Hidden World of Enterprise AI

  In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall sits down with Lexi Reese, CEO and co-founder of Lanai Software, who exposes a startling reality: 80% of AI use in companies happens completely off the radar. Reese shares a jaw-dropping story from an insurance company where sales teams unknowingly uploaded customer zip codes into AI tools - creating potential legal issues as zip codes can serve as proxies for race in insurance decisions. Lanai's platform acts as a "sixth sense" for organizations, detecting AI interactions across the enterprise in real-time and transforming apparent chaos into strategic opportunity - helping one financial institution boost client satisfaction by 30% after identifying and scaling effective AI use cases. The conversation tackles the ethics of visibility versus surveillance, with Reese emphasizing their commitment to focus on patterns, not policing employees, guided by their advisor's principle to "don't be creepy." For leaders wondering what AI tools their teams are actually using, Reese suggests creating an anonymous five-question survey that typically reveals teams are using 3-5× more AI tools than management realizes.

• "40% of Your Ad Budget Goes to Products Nobody Buys": The AI Solution Retailers Can't Ignore

  In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall uncovers a shocking truth with Nathan Werst, founder of Shoptimized AI: major retailers waste millions advertising products that never drive purchases. Werst reveals the shocking moment when clients first see their wasted ad spend, sometimes discovering 40% of their budget goes to products that generate zero sales. Using neural networks that can predict with 92.3% accuracy which products will sell in specific timeframes, Shoptimized is transforming retail marketing by analyzing patterns humans could never detect - like why blue items sell better on Sundays at 3pm while red items fail. A former data scientist for DICK's Sporting Goods and Farfetch, Werst challenges listeners to search Google for their own out-of-season products to witness firsthand how much money they're wasting right now. Looking ahead to 2030, Werst envisions not just revolutionizing retailers' ROI but creating truly seamless shopping experiences where customers never waste time clicking ads that don't match what they actually want to buy.

• How Showtime AI Plans to Reinvent Moviegoing by 2030—And Save Cinema Along the Way

  In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall sits down with Ben Arnon, co-founder of Color Farm Media, and creator of Showtime AI, to unpack the quiet crisis facing movie theaters and delves into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in revitalizing the movie theater industry. With decades-old infrastructure and seats sitting empty outside blockbuster weekends, theaters are operating at just 15–25% capacity. Arnon shares how Showtime AI is uses a community driven data, dynamic scheduling, and hyper-personalized recommendations to rebuild the movie going experience from the ground up, envisioning "a time where a theater manager sees like a 23% of 35% revenue increase within six months." Instead of static showtimes and unpredictable attendance, Showtime AI will enable theaters to adapt in real time to audience demand, optimizing showtimes, pricing, and even the concession experience to fit viewer habits. Arnon describes a future where every part of the theater journey feels orchestrated just for you; and where the cinematic experience returns to being something truly special and how AI can play a pivotal role in bringing audiences back to theaters and ensuring the sustainability of the cinema industry. If you care about the future of entertainment, this conversation is a must-listen. 📬 Follow Ben’s work and thinking at: benarnon.substack.com

Verma reveals how Una creates instant carbon profiles from public data alone, connecting businesses to billions in untapped green subsidies and turning a six-month application process into just six minutes. A machine learning pioneer before AI was fashionable, Verma predicts Expect AI will generate $40 billion in savings by 2030 while cutting 500 megatons of emissions.
