  • Using AI Isn’t the Same as Leading With AI
    Jan 15 2026

    In this episode of the AI Profit Leaders Podcast, Chris Wiser is joined by Tyler Wallace, CEO of CTS Computers, a multi-generation IT and cybersecurity firm serving Central Illinois and Northern Indiana.

    Tyler uncovers a critical misconception holding many businesses back: using AI tools is not the same as having an AI strategy.

    While most leaders believe they have not started using AI, the reality is very different. Employees are already using AI across organizations, often without policies, guardrails, or leadership oversight. This creates hidden risks around data security, compliance, efficiency, and profitability.

    Drawing from real-world experience with healthcare, engineering firms, nonprofits, and SMBs, this conversation explains why random AI adoption creates more problems than progress. Tyler and Chris discuss why AI leadership must start at the top, how to put the right guardrails in place, and why businesses that delay strategic AI adoption will be outpaced by faster-moving competitors.

    This episode is a wake-up call for business owners, MSPs, and leadership teams who believe ChatGPT equals AI adoption and are unknowingly leaking data, time, and profit because of it.


    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    • Why “we use ChatGPT” is not a real AI strategy
    • How AI should automate business processes—not just tasks
    • The difference between AI tools and AI-driven organizations
    • Why leadership must own AI adoption before employees do
    • How poor AI implementation can lose money instead of saving it
    • Why clean data and process clarity are required before automation
    • How AI is reshaping search, buying behavior, and brand visibility
    • What “AI-first” actually means for small and mid-sized businesses


    Key Takeaway

    'AI Profit Leaders do not chase tools. They design strategy, control adoption, and execute with speed. '

  • Stop Hiring People, Start Buying Back Time
    Jan 13 2026

    In this episode of the AI Profit Leaders Podcast, host Chris Wiser is joined by John Hansman of Truit to unpack one of the most expensive habits in business:

    Hiring people to solve problems that strategy and automation should fix.

    John works closely with legacy businesses across Washington State, particularly in trucking, logistics, and home services—industries that are under intense pressure from rising costs, shrinking margins, and increased regulation.

    Together, the conversation challenges outdated thinking around growth, staffing, and technology, and reframes AI as a time-buying, margin-protecting strategy rather than a collection of tools.

    This is a must-listen for owners who want to protect profitability, increase valuation, and build a business that can scale or exit in the AI era.


    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    • Why legacy businesses instinctively hire instead of fixing systems
    • How AI helps business owners buy back their time — and their team’s time
    • Why “we’ve always done it this way” is the most expensive mindset in business
    • How automation increases revenue per employee without replacing people
    • Why AI strategy matters more than AI tools
    • The hidden risks of employees using AI without leadership oversight
    • Why uncontrolled LLM usage can expose IP and sensitive business data
    • How automation outperforms LLMs alone in real-world operations
    • Why younger competitors are moving faster — and winning
    • How AI directly impacts business valuation and exit potential

    This episode highlights why AI governance and leadership matter more than tools, and why partnering with the right strategist is critical in a fast-moving market.


    Key Takeaway

    Hiring adds overhead.
    Automation adds leverage.

    The most profitable businesses use AI to remove repetitive work, protect margins, and refocus people on high-value decisions — not to chase tools or trends.

  • If Your Team Is Using AI in Secret, You’re Already Behind
    Jan 13 2026

    Your team is already using AI.
    The question is whether you’re leading, or avoiding the conversation.

    In this episode, Lindsey and Chris talk with Jerem Morris, founder of Data Tech AZ, about building an AI-first, people-first culture where AI is used openly, responsibly, and daily.

    Jerem shares how embedding AI into leadership, culture, and team communication unlocked efficiency, professionalism, and trust. And why “shadow AI” is one of the biggest hidden risks inside modern businesses.

    This episode is for leaders ready to stop pretending AI isn’t happening and start leading with it.

    In This Episode, You’ll Learn

    • Why AI should augment people, not replace them
    • How to transition from “IT guy” to trusted business advisor
    • The dangers of chasing AI tools before fixing broken processes
    • Why culture — not incentives — drives successful AI adoption
    • How daily AI conversations (even 5 minutes a day) transform teams
    • The importance of guardrails, privacy, and security in AI use
    • How AI exposes underlying business problems, for better or worse
    • Why leadership context matters more than AI output
    • How MSPs can move into boardroom-level strategy conversations

    Key Takeaway

    AI doesn’t replace teams.
    Silence, fear, and bad leadership do.
