On BusinessTalksWeekly’s PowerTalk Show, we’ve hosted founders building the future of AI across industries — from drug discovery to legal tech to real-estate investing, from enterprise software to creator tools. These conversations go beyond the hype cycle to the operational reality: what actually works, what’s broken in the current tooling, and where the next decade of AI in business is actually heading.
