Podcast Guest. Dead Sprint Radio, June 2026. A wide-ranging conversation on AI governance, accountability architecture, and why most organizations have already taken a position on AI without realizing it. Covers the Still in Charge initiative, the case for keeping humans in charge of consequential decisions, and what responsible AI adoption looks like for businesses in the greater Las Vegas area.
Watch the recordingWhy most AI risk isn't a technology failure but an accountability failure, and what organizations actually need to install before they scale AI deployment.
The five governance elements most organizations skip, the workflows where absence of control creates the most exposure, and the decisions that cannot be undone once made.
Why the organizations that build governance infrastructure now will have a structural advantage in client trust, regulatory positioning, and talent retention over those that build it reactively after an incident.
Where governance actually lives, and why most organizations have never built it.
Everyone says they want a Jarvis: an AI that executes on command. But execution is the part leaders should be most careful about delegating. What is harder to build, and worth considerably more, is a thinking partner with no career stake in your decisions. This session teaches the five-step Consigliere Method for building an AI thinking partner calibrated to your decision patterns, constraints, and blind spots. Executives leave with a setup protocol they can implement the same day.
How the Still in Charge initiative is building AI citizenship before students enter the workforce, and why governance literacy at the K-12 level matters for every organization that will eventually hire these students.
