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:

WHEN SHOULD YOU START ENGAGING WITH AI?

Nobody wants to be told what to do; and everyone wants guidance on what to do
[Experience from watching adoptions in the Enterprise]
No job has ever been safe in the long run
AI is like every new technology, it has a steep and long learning curve. But the beginning seems pretty easy.
Nobody knows AI best practices at this point
Nobody knows good AI KPIs at this point
Nobody understands AI costs at this point
The “older” generation can build on their existing domain experience
The “younger” generation has always figured out new ways to work, be creative
Even CEOs aren’t the ultimate boss - the market, boards, peer pressure, etc. - they will push trends, sometimes without all the data
