In this episode we’re at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium at Hello AI Summit 2026 and James has a chat with Dan Boyles - Global AI stratigist and Founder at Hello AI (https://www.linkedin.com/in/danhelloai/), 11 months after he turned a rough idea into an AI summit. We dig into why most AI projects stall, how bad data and “glorified Google search” use cases kill ROI, and why fixing your data foundation (think Azure SQL + Fabric) unlocks real business outcomes in operations and customer experience. Dan also explains why AI agents are “really clever interns” on their way to becoming operational teammates, and why you still need proper governance, backups and a clear “why” before you unleash them on your business.
