In this episode, I sit down with Inbal Rodnay, AI implementation expert and author of AI Magic, to walk through a practical, six-step playbook for embedding AI across a business safely, sanely, and with momentum. 

We dig into leadership alignment, smart tool choices, responsible use, and how to turn experiments into real workflows that actually save time.

What you’ll learn

• • A simple six-step arc: align leadership, pick the right tools, build a usable policy, train your team, create momentum, and embed AI into workflows.
  • Why it’s OK (and efficient) to sit a step behind the “explorers” and focus on business value over app-chasing.
  • The “three rings” radar for tools: what to use now, what to watch, and what to ignore as noise.
  • How to run training that sticks: role-specific examples, live demos, and sharing wins/misses in a team channel.
  • Responsible-use basics to include in your AI policy: confidentiality, disclosure, verification, and when to use temporary/no-storage modes.
