  • The Real Reason AI Won’t Fix Your Bad Business
    Jul 16 2025

    Welcome to another episode of Grow with Technology! In today’s Deep Dive, we challenge one of the most common assumptions in the world of tech and business: can artificial intelligence actually save a struggling company? Inspired by insights from Richard Butler Jr.’s provocative article, "The Real Reason AI Will Not Fix Your Bad Business," co-host Jessica Smith and host Ben Bard unpack why AI might not be the fix-all solution many believe it to be. In fact, Butler’s bold claim is that AI has the potential to make existing problems even worse—amplifying chaos, inefficiency, and disorganization if the foundations aren’t solid.

    Together, we’ll explore the four critical pillars Butler says every business should strengthen before even thinking about implementing AI: a clear strategy, well-defined processes, rock-solid data discipline, and a culture ready for change. It’s an eye-opening conversation that shifts the focus from chasing shiny new tech to getting the basics right—because, as you’ll hear, AI is a powerful tool, but only if you’ve built a solid business beneath it. Whether you're leading a company or just curious about tech trends, this episode will get you thinking about what really needs fixing before you automate.
