At the Intersection: Insights for Thriving at the Crossroads of Change
At the Intersection is a podcast for CEOs and leaders navigating one of the most important shifts in modern business: the rise of Human + AI organizations.
Hosted by Craig Francisco, CEO of AI23, the show explores the crossroads of leadership, strategy, and artificial intelligence — where executive decision-making, organizational alignment, and emerging technology meet.
Through short solo insights and candid conversations with experienced operators, Craig focuses on the questions leaders are asking right now:
• Where should we actually start with AI?
• How do we align our leadership team around strategy?
• Where can AI create meaningful leverage in our organization?
• What does a realistic path to becoming an AI-enabled company look like?
This podcast is designed for leaders who want clarity before launching AI initiatives — not hype, tools, or scattered experimentation.
If you're a CEO or senior leader trying to make sense of AI inside your organization — where to start, what to prioritize, and how to actually create momentum — I offer a focused 1:1 advisory session where we work through this together.
