The Reasoning Show

The Reasoning Show AI moves fast. Thinking clearly matters more.

The Reasoning Show cuts through the hype to explore how the smartest people in enterprise AI actually make decisions — the strategy, the tradeoffs, and the hard lessons no press release mentions.

Every week, hosts Aaron Delp and Brian Gracely sit down with the founders building the tools, investors funding the shift, and operators running AI in the real world. Not hype. Not panic. Just clear-headed conversations with people who have to make actual decisions.

Because the AI revolution isn't just happening. It's being reasoned through.

New shows every Wednesday and Sunday.

SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome Evelyn and Brian. Let’s start at the start, can both you give a brief intro?

Topic 2 - You both represent the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework team. What is it and how did it come about?

Topic 3 - You have a concept the really resonates with me and customers I’ve spoken too, the idea that no one’s cloud journey is the same. There is a formal blueprint to success. Define a strategy, plan the business outcomes, prepare the environment, implement the initial changes and migrations. From there we move to the operations stage that includes governance and management of operations.

Topic 4 - Is this a product? A service? A blueprint? What is the most common pain you see in your customers? Why?

Topic 5 - Do you have customer success stories and common examples/use cases you can share?
