Welcome to The Forge 🔥 of Unicorns — the podcast where digital evolution meets elite performance. 🚀

I’m Michele Brissoni (Mike) — Tech Advisor, Fractional CTO, and Board-Level Strategist.

Over the past two decades, I’ve invented models and frameworks that have reshaped how organizations evolve in the software era:

BOKaRy 📈 — our latest innovation, a Behavioral-OKR governance framework bridging vision, behavior, and delivery to generate exceptional ROI for boards, CEOs, and investors.
SW Craftsmanship Dojo® 🥋 — born in the elite world of engineering excellence at Ferrari Formula 1 during the glorious Michael Schumacher era, evolved into a behavior-engineered continuous active learning system for elite software craftsmanship.
Unicorns’ Ecosystem 🦄 — a predictable, holistic model born to fight the de-facto standard of mediocracy in IT, which kills more organizations than anything else. By fusing behavioral science, neuroscience, and organizational psychology, it combats the hidden killers while igniting elite IT performance.

Born from decades of research and experimentation, these models guarantee zero disruption and measurable outcomes. They have already guided thousands of developers, C-level leaders, and Fortune 500 organizations in industries ranging from finance and healthcare to transport and telecom.

Each episode of The Forge of Unicorns delivers:

🎙️ Bold conversations with CEOs, investors, and technical leaders.
🧭 Actionable strategies to escape failed transformations and achieve real evolution.
🤖 AI mastery without the hype — practical frameworks to harness AI for measurable outcomes, not inflated promises.
🧠 Behavioral insights rooted in 20+ years of research and practice.
💡 Survival toolkits for boards, managers, developers, and agilists facing burnout, disengagement, and stalled revenues.

In today’s volatile digital landscape, transformation alone is not enough. To survive, thrive, and secure the future, organizations need systems engineered for resilience, clarity, and exponential performance. That’s what this podcast is about.

🎙️E64 - AI, Code, Care... When organizations stop guessing and start assessing.

🤔 Startups pitch AI like magic. But what happens when vibe-coded prototypes crash in production?

👉 Who’s inspecting the code, not just the pitch deck?

In this Forge of Unicorns episode, Dr. Jeremy Krell—Managing Partner at Revere Partners—reveals how real VCs assess risk in a post-hype market. With 40% of Revere’s portfolio in software, Jeremy’s team doesn’t just bet on the founder—they inspect the architecture, the codebase, and the clinical impact.

From the operating room to the terminal, Mike & Jeremy show us why engineering diligence is no longer optional.

👉 Why most AI-first startups fail the production test

👉 Why vibe-coded prototypes are a liability in regulated markets

👉 How real VCs use software as a behavioral signal

👉 And why Revere’s CTO has the final say on who gets funded

⸻

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why AI-generated code is failing real-world production tests

• How clinical venture capital teams assess code quality and cultural alignment

• Why behavioral due diligence matters more than resumes

• How Roger Penrose’s Gödel argument debunks the myth of AI consciousness

• Why Yoshua Bengio says agency + deception are the next wave of AI risk

• What it takes to govern AI-first orgs beyond checklists and demos

⸻

🎙️ Key Quote from Jeremy Krell:

“AI today writes code like a high school student. Useful as an assistant. Dangerous as an engineer.”

⸻

🧠 Why This Matters — Right Now

AI-generated prototypes are flooding every industry.

Most founders pitch speed—but ignore code quality, user impact, and long-term viability.

And boards are still flying blind, unaware of the liabilities shipped to production.

That’s why real due diligence must evolve—from checking resumes to assessing behavior, craftsmanship, and code.

Because in healthcare and AI, the margin for error is gone.

Revere’s model isn’t just about capital. It’s about care.
