Why 70% of Students Never Enroll & What AI Is Doing About It | Jason Sherman

Jan 20 2026

Why is university enrollment down? How to improve university website conversion? AI integration for enterprise bottlenecks? Did you know 70% of students who visit a university website never enroll? In this episode, Jason Sherman, Founder of Vengo AI and Campus Pixel, reveals how AI is transforming enterprise operations—from university admissions to Fortune 500 bottlenecks. We discuss why LLMs are running out of training data (and why OpenAI wants to buy Pinterest), how to build proprietary AI infrastructure that protects client data from Big Tech, and why decentralized storage through SC Prime is safer, cheaper, and more resilient than AWS. Jason also shares his perspective on AI in filmmaking—where it helps (pre-production, storyboarding, research) and where humans must remain in the loop (storytelling, screenwriting). Key Takeaways: AI is eliminating enterprise bottlenecks. Universities are 40-50% down in enrollment. Decentralized storage offers better security at a fraction of the cost. The human in the loop remains essential for creative work.

Why AI Fails: The Sociopath Problem No One's Talking About | Jeff Mahony

Jan 13 2026

Why do 70% of technology transformations fail? It's not the technology. It's the adoption. In this episode, Donna P. Mitchell, The Transformation Authority™, speaks with Jeff Mahony, a technologist with three decades of experience building scalable financial systems. Jeff shares a provocative framework that every executive racing to implement AI needs to hear: "AI is a sociopath. It has no understanding of right and wrong." This isn't fear-mongering. It's a framework for responsible transformation. Jeff breaks down why mass AI adoption is premature, how "agency equals bias" when amplified through technology, and why human oversight isn't optional—it's "hyper-necessary." Whether you're a C-suite executive, transformation leader, or technology strategist, this episode delivers the governance perspective missing from most AI conversations. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction 07:45 - Why "pitching features" loses executives 08:55 - The 70% failure rate: It's adoption, not technology 09:33 - Behavior change: The transformation killer 11:48 - Security-first vs. speed-to-market 13:21 - "Agency equals bias"—The hidden flaw in AI 19:35 - "Talent is equally distributed, opportunity is not" 21:45 - Why AI isn't ready for mass adoption 22:55 - "AI is a sociopath"—The case for governance 24:32 - Human oversight is "hyper-necessary" 26:54 - Anomaly management: What humans do that AI can't 27:15 - The audit and compliance gap 31:24 - Interoperability over disruption #TransformationAuthority #AITransformation #EnterpriseAI #podmatch Connect with: Jeff Mahony Website: ryt.io Email: admin@ryt.io Connect with Donna P.
