Most startup AI projects fail within the first few months because founders jump into the latest tools before properly understanding their business processes. Scaling with AI requires more than hype, it takes clear strategy, strong operational foundations, and thoughtful execution.
In this episode, Rob Woodhead sits down with Scott Evans of Wonderland AI and Richard Geary of Flo HQ for a candid conversation on what successful AI implementation actually looks like in business today. They also dive into the story behind The AI Foundry, a fast-growing community built to give founders a trusted space to learn, connect, share resources, and openly navigate the challenges of AI adoption together.
Expect valuable insights on AI governance and strategy, common adoption roadblocks, how to identify trustworthy AI consultants, and where AI in business is headed next.

Businesses that focused on clear use cases, team upskilling, and quick, measurable improvements saw the most value, while grand AI transformations mostly stumbled due to messy processes and poor data.
