He shares how a university athletics sales rep used AI to uncover new ticket buyers, how a warehouse employee helped a manufacturer rethink a 22-year-old spreadsheet, and why a skeptical, experienced employee became an unexpected AI champion.\nWe also discuss Todd's book, Adapt & Adopt, and his approach to teaching people how to identify useful AI tasks, evaluate opportunities, and build momentum from individual wins to broader adoption.\nOther topics covered:\n• Three paths to putting AI to work in a business\n• Why employee frustrations can reveal valuable AI opportunities\n• The gap between personal AI use and workplace adoption\n• What Todd learned from investing in more than 100 AI companies\n• Building a tech career outside San Francisco and New York\n• Why meeting recorders and voice dictation can make an immediate difference\n• Using Claude to protect your calendar and priorities\nIf you're leading a team, trying to make AI useful in your own job, or deciding where to start, this conversation offers practical ways to connect AI's capabilities with the work people do every day.\nSubscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: https://tdv.transistor.fm/ \nAnd don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.
