Harley Allaby co-founded Samurai Code after helping scale Exact Medicare from a small startup to $100M+ in revenue — largely by figuring out how to deploy AI agents before most companies even had a plan. In this episode, Harley breaks down why 95% of AI implementations fail, how to identify the highest-leverage point in your business for AI deployment, and why small language models are quietly outperforming the big monolithic approaches everyone defaults to. Whether you're a founder running lean or a marketing leader trying to make the case internally, this conversation gives you a tactical roadmap for getting AI right the first time.
