Ted shares why artificial intelligence is becoming a key driver of private company value, how business owners should approach AI implementation, and what buyers and investors will be looking for in the years ahead.

The three foundational steps every business should take before implementing AI.
How AI can reduce operational risk, improve productivity, and make a business more attractive to buyers.
Why the future of work will depend as much on critical thinking and emotional intelligence as it does on technical skills.
And more!
