#VulnerabilityWinsHustle

Your company doesn't need an AI strategy. It needs an AI cultural reset. I remember sitting in a boardroom at my last venture, watching executives cling to a 47-page strategy deck while our competitors were already shipping features with LLMs they built over a weekend. We had the BUDGET. We had the engineering TALENT. What we didn't have was permission to be curious. So I scrapped the entire roadmap. Took the team on a two-day mandatory "failure sprint" where we deliberately built seven useless AI prototypes. The low ROI projects taught us Five times more than all those quarterly MBRs combined. 🚨 Hot take: Stop hiring "Head of AI" roles. Start firing your fear of ambiguity instead. Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Strategy drinks culture for lunch. And AI? AI chokes on both if you don't lead with authentic ownership.
